was very great at tho result, but whose
only consolation was in the thought
that true merit in this world nev -r

There has been a large number <'f

the last few days by tho conference

the 1st Methodist church. It gives
general satisfaction, and he will lie

that could come alter Dr. Harrison, |

northerner to a friend in New York:

know you would like to have an ac
count of our trip among the mountains
of north Gcrrgia. You have your
Catskills, White mountains, Adiron-
dacks, and the grand old scenery of
the north, which yon do well to ad

Next Sabbath Dr Boggs, (Presbyte

installed in the Central Presbyterian
church. lie stands next to Dr. Palm
er, and the church here is fortunate
in securing him. A man of talents,
and devoted pietv, il’he will be very
quiet on the dancing question he will
tie all right. I ctuuo'. leave the church
subject without telling you of the ex
ceedingly interesting services al the
St. Philips (Episcopal) on Thanksgiv
ing day. It was the first time I had
ever seen a church dressed on such an
occasion, and when we considered the
object I wished all our churches would
“go, and do likewise.’’ The offerings
were fur the p sir, and wuilo there
were stands ..t fruits of every variety
the substnnlials were not forgotten ;
bags of potatoes, turnips, pumpkins,
jellys in glasses and jars, cakes,
breads, and everything that could bo
cla-sed under the substantiate and
luxuries were there to gladden the
hearts of the poor, and many were
iniple happy alter the services were
over. The Bishop was present,
and five other ministers, and there j
was an excellent sermon by Dr Wil
liams of St. Luke’s.
I don’t know that, after di irsiu .-

fight iast night between two admirers
f Miss Annie Boyle; a successlul
and unsuccessful suitor. They merely
k it withJists, no hatchets in this
ease, and I uni happy to add neither
bad an “tar bit off,” or will have
to have the “skull tr panned - ’ as is
usual here.
I promised to tell you something
about t lit* lk'li ion*, but whenever I go
out I “gel mixed” on the subject. I
only know the ladies all wear as much
black and jet as is possible, and it is
almost indispensable now to wear a
horse-shoe ornament somewhere,
gold ones for brooches, also jet ones in
pins, and ear-rings, in combs etc.
Style with some is everything, and it
fashion required it a small sized pony,"
shoes, and all would be worn-
The Christinas goods and toys are

This was enough for one day, so we
returned for supper-and went to sleep
to tho tune of Tallulah music. It is
Friday morning, and we are traveling
in order to make the descents. We
did them, as they say.’and so viewed
the several fal's from the river’s edge.
After dinner we crossed the river at a
short distance above thp hotel, where
the major is preparing to put a bridge
across so as to render the north side
accessible to visitors. Very tew have
crossed heretofore aud we were as
tonished that the south side alone had
been u ed, for on this side every view
is surpassingly grand and wonderful
at every turn. On : the south side
you are looking from points as it were
on the inside of a horse shoe, and nec-
es.-arily one tall at a time is iu view,
while on the north side yon cau take
either accessible bluff'and spend hours
before you could see half of its inter
esting . features. Yfitu are also look
ing iu a direct line with all of the falls
except one, and this at Point Inspi
rit on is nearly under your feet.
From this poiul the view is perfect.
Four falls hi one direction- Eight
feet to your loft you look directly
down ou Hurrrictue Falls from an
elevation not less than 9U0 leet per
pendicular. Raise year eyes to the
left and the whole bowl ; of the great
chasm is o]ien with its polished sur
face, in the center of which Ribbon
cascade is lulling to find the river.
Now raise your eyes aud follow the
gorge down until lust in the distance,
fill the gap away to the east and
north with a horizon Hue of country
miles away, if not South Carolina it
self. This view, I earnestly hope,
some artist may toon take,. ,, I do not
know where 1 havo seen oue more
beaulilul. Now turn your eyes west
erly. The sun has found a setting on
tiie edge of Tallulah mountain. Oh !

kiln which the workmen said was a
silver mine. Indeed the whole region

stock exchanges, where they can
trade on a margin of one, two and
three per cent. Here, by skillful

large margin, and they return one •
more to the stock brokers of the Ex

larger operations. Those who operate
in “the bucket shops” are known as

Professor Proctor, the celebrated
Eueli-li astronomer, has recently de
livered a series of very popular lec
tures in this eitv, nil of which were
extremely interesting. After discuss
ing our sol ir system he wandered
among the stars When he stated
that the earth was 500,000,000 years
old and had 2,500,000,000 yet to ex
ist, and dilated upon the wonders ot
Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and tile
other planets, and their peeuliar mode
of development. I stood it all very
well, hut when lie commenced on the
stars, and spoke of the infinite distance
o» the nearest star, and that all the
600,000 stars visible from the earth
were nothing more or less than suns
like our own, and that “thestar Sirius
was from 1,000 to 8,000 times ns large j
as onr sun and gave out heat in pro

and have felt ever since that our little
world “was not mu :h of a world after
all.”

heir testimony that Gen. Law was
correct in stating that “the General”
was wounded at Gettysburg, Julv 3d,
1863.
Your correspondent was a sur
geon in Gen. Lee’s army, aud was en
gaged in the transportation of our
wounded from Williamsport to Win
chester. 1 met Gen. Semtnes at Wil
liamsport, his ambulance being the
first nt the ferry on the Maryland
side, awaiting transportation across
the Potomac, which was very much
swollen by recent rains, and our only
means of crossing was one small ferry
boat. At the request ofCapt. Cody,
ot his staff, I made an examination of
his condition, which was then very
feeble. The femoral artery had been
severed, au.l General Semtnes himselt
applied a tourniquet, which he alway
carried on his person, and checked
the flow of blood till the ends of the
artery could he ligated by Dr. Todd,
a surgeon of his brigade nn.l a brother-
in law of President Lincoln. Dr. Todd
advised liiui to remain at Gettysburg,
aud that by so doing there would be
some h qic of saving his lite. But the
General declined, saying that he
“would rather take the chances of dy
ing than to fall into the hands of the
enemy.’’ The trip to the Potomac,
owing to his mature years, was too
exhaustive. lie refused to rest till
his ambulance reached Martinsburg.

A Pretty Sentiment.
. . The glory of summer lias gone by,
fth'e 1 boautifttl greenness has become
Withered and dead.
Were this all—
were there no -associations of moral
desolation, of faded hopes, of hearts
withering in the bosoms of the living
connected ‘with the decaying scenery
afiotind, wc would not indulge in a mo
ment’* melancholy. Tbe season of
flowers will come again, the streams
flow gracefully as before; the tree*
will again toss their cumbrous heads
■of greenness to the sunlight; and by
mossy stone aud winding rivulet the
-coming blossoms will start up at the
Ridding of llieir guardian. But tho
human heart has no chnngo like that
of nature. It has no returning spring
.time. Once b ighted in its hour off
pleasures, it bears fort ver the mark off
the spoiler. The dews ot affection may
fall, and the gen tic rain of sympathy
be lavished upon it, but the stone root
of blighted feeling will never again j
waken into life, nor the crushed How- j
ers of hope blossom with their wont
beauty. d
