Mr. Candler was in the city yesterday on bosincaa fur hi* toad, but keeps his eye open (or pblitiea^specs. It was‘to develop tills view (hat the Chronicle approached liUq.i; [ t; Mr. Candler thinks the tariff, is he lming the absorbingqueetioti in Amer ican |H)iitics. It may sweep into such commanding importance as to split up the sections and reform the parties. He was for tariff lor reveuue, with incident al protection. He did not think Ameri can products needed any high tariff. Onr wares aud goods are sold through Europe now. Augusta's man ufactured cotton gcoda And their way into European and Eastern markets; why do we ask protection then? He thought from what he hud read of the tariff commission's report that the work had been well done, and the reductions were sweeping and wholesome. Our import taxes should be reduced, as like wise our internal revenue taxes. We needjust enough taxes to supiiort tiie government and pay the interest on tiie public debt. There should lie no large surplus left-fur jobs. The government was in too great a hurry to pay off the public debt, lie did not know which people were the worse off; those who were staggering under a heavy public debt, or those who were accumulating a heavy surplus in the treasury. The satire was trtje iu this state. It has been raid that the existing public debt should be (mid ofl with alacrity. He was rather of the opinion that the constitution should be changed so as to allow the statb to contribute to tiie building up of some of her most important institutions and to the development of some of her most valuable material interests. State aid, when property directed aud wisely regulated, was net an evil. We should not wish to wipe out our public debt at once. A small debt is rather a ballast and blessing to a country, or a common' wealth, or to a man of business. Mr. Candler alluded lo the prospects of the Augusta, Elberton and Chicago railroad, a most important work for Au gusta, and one which she should be quick' to complete. His own Toad, tiie G.,J. AS., is now ranuingaliouttwenty- tive miles, with good prospects for a successful finish. He thought, with the amount subscribed, tiie Elberton road could easily be graded. Mr. Oaqdlet sppke strongly in favor of tbeatatiiViSubscription to Col. Jones’ History «f Georgia. He said Georgia is deplorably in t\eed of a public history, •nd hit kaowlathid of Col. Jones led him to believe that he was thb man to com pile it. Mr. Candler was, during the «|r!y years of Ais life, a school teacher in upper Georgia, and two or three young men in Augusta now" were among his pupils. What the Millennium Will be Like. II.) ■ ■ Rev. J. Hemphill, of Ban Francisco, could not help but believe that the ad vent and personal reign of Christ v ould be altar the millennium. During tiie millennium, he thought, the physical conditions of tiie world would be im proved. 8in being removed, pain and travail would be done away with. Tiie physical conditions of man would be vastly Improved, and there would exist no pain, sorrow nor tears, such as are ours now. When that time comes men will live as long as the old patriarchs before the flood. Healthy bodies will make healthy minds, and for one thou sand years the two will be yoke-fellows. The moral and spiritual conditions will be vastly Improved aud holiness will abound. And during those thot sand years he thought one language would prevail throughout the world, for through the Tower of Babel, or sin,numerous tongues He requested the la- *' One tit the/,ladles took the centre seat, buthe asked her to seat herself else whets.

Those who have vigRed the fella know! the danger at tached to this undertaking, as' yon have perpendicular cliffs of granite to surmount, which > - were -J rendered doubly hasofdous by their slippery condition. After proceeding for some distance, scaling obstacles that seem ed almost insurmountable, and having frequently to ford the stream up to their waist in toe-oold water, they at length reached a point where further progress- seemed Impossible. The smuWthlko* of« rock lover fifty feet perpendicular, stood immediately in their path. The eXplordrs started to turn back, but they found the road be- hlnd.equally as daogerqus ss that In front! • Mr. 8mith says that at this time he fblt llko they would be forced to spend the winter there, as they were blockaded on every side. But alter great exertions, climbing upon each other’a shoulders, they eueceeded In. reaching a tree that clung to the side of *T>reclplce, and by ascending this were enabled to swing over ou the rock wall, which they Anally succeed ed in scaling. A Blip of the foot, or a single false step, would have dashed the daring explorers upon the rocks', and eeething waters below. The de cent was soaroely less perillous than the Qlitnb, and lu looking back it seem ed a.matter impossible to accomplish the task. Against such obstacles as this these gentlemen gradually and cautiously worked their passage up the entire length of the Grand Chasm, over ground that the foot of man bad never before trod, until they reached the Ocesqica. falls. From this point they mads the asoent to femi firma, \ by a new path that Mr. Luke Johnson has lately discovered and opened, hut even this ascent was fraught with dan ger, as you had to climb by ropes and planks that swung from dizzy preci pices. These foils, that bake only late ly been visited, are the grandest and most beautiful to be seen at this ro- mautio spot. Front the fop of the cliff altove they look like ftimere shoal, but when at them they measure over fifty feet In height and are terrific in their graudeur.. Next. season'' they win doubtless be visited by thousands, aS tbe rente to then! lately discovered by Mr* Johnson will be Improved and the decent made comparatively safe and easy.

Mr. Smith -says one cannot appreciate the beauties ofTatlulah un- leae they visit it In winter, when every 1 Cascade is festooued with Icicles.
