Tbo site which is occupied by the Methodist Church in this place, is one of the most elevated and commanding in the town, overlooking a ljirge por tion of the “city,” and observable at once to all who approach it on the North and East, by railway or other wise. It is also nearly central in its position, and on this account is per haps the most favorable point for pub lic worship in Cartersville. It is also in closer proximity to the hotel and depot than any other place of religious worship among us, and therefore the more accessible and convenient to the stranger who may tarry in our midst on the Sabbath day. In almost any respect in which it may be Considered it is ft Lappy location for the purpose for which it was selected, and the de nomination may, very wisely, congrat ulate itself upon its possession. The denomination itself, has the largest Church-membership of any in the place, and has always exercised a com manding influence in the community, and, wa trust, will continue to do so.— The congregations which usually assem ble there, are also the largest, and we see no good reason why they may not be expected to remain so. Our pop ulations is rapidly and largely increas ing, and only a very few years more will see it reach the most sanguine hopes of its friends—it must be, in the very nature of things, very much greater than it is. Buildings are go ing up, trade increasing, people com ing in to be citizens among us, and all around us, every day, are accumulating evidences of increasing thrift and a growing town. This we all'know to be so, and confidently await the not very distant development of time, in all that shall constitute her a most im portant commercial point. liar edu cational advantages, too, are of a very desirable character, and mast and will command attention, and thus leud their importance to our growth and prosperity, while the town, itself, be ing the objective point in one of the very finest agricultural, most healthy, romantic and desirable regions of the whole State, with all her present and growing railroad facilities, must in crease largely in importance with the advance of years. The importance of the place, relig iously, has always been highly estima ted by all the denominations, in this, to-wit: That nbla men have always been called to the discharge of her ministerial services —and by none more uniformly than the Methodist, so that the Conferences have, as a gener al rule, supplied us with pastors who would compare most favorably, in pul pit ability, with what are considered the best appointments in the State.— This is verified to-day, in the present occupant of the Cartersville Station, the Itov. J. L. Pierce, D. D. Here, then, we have before us, as a commu nity, and the Methodist people as a denomination, the very strongest in centive to the fostering of this reli gious interest—and yet in one impor tant and appealing particular we are wofully deficient. There is no sufficient or decently respectable building, such an one as is worthy of the town, or the denomination, in which to wor ship. The Presbyterians have a neat and cemmodious edifice, altogether suited to their purposes, taoteful and respectable, while the Baptist", much to their credit, have gone forward, under many difficulties, but with an inergy characteristic of her leading and influential membership here, and have erected a house which does cred it to their Christian zeal, and to their Christian liberality, and is an ornament to that portion of the town in which it is located. On the contrary, the J Methodist Church building is altogeth-1 er unfit, in every respect, ungainly in j appearance, old and dilapidated, its timbers decaying and decayed, unpleas ant in winter and more so in summer; uncomfortable to the hearer, and un comfortable to the preacher; rotting and leaky from witnin and without; iugood weather scarcely tenantable, in bad weather unodntp'ao/e; a by-wo.rd and a reproach to the denomination; a very sore in the eye of good taste; altogether unequal to the purposes for which it is to be used; a earricature on architecture; a reflection upon the membership, if not a disgrace, and con fers no credit upon the town. Men live in their “ceiled houses,” but this Church of God lies waste, and the peo ple whose care it is, may not expect His blessing, so long as it is suffered so to be. Affection, zeal, piety, com fort, pride and duty, are all assaulted by this building, and all these on their part, demand that it should be made, very speedily, to give place to one more worthy of the town, the denomi nation and the community, and more than all these together, a thousand times over, of Him whose name is there. Will the Church see to this, or ; shall it be left to some generous, no ble spirited man of the world, to take the initiative ? I Editorial Miscellany . Col. Sam Tate has been elected Pres ident of the Memphis & Little Bock Railroad. A Boston Preacher says he once preached on the recognition of friends in heaven, and was told by one of his hearers afterwards that he had better preach on the reeogniton of friends here, as he had been in the church 20 years, and didn’t know any of them. The Shad lives but a single year and when grown usually weighs about seven pounds. The person who caused the mistrial in the Bowen bigamy case was a ne gro. The congregation at St. Luke’s church, in Columbus, was dispersed on Sunday night, by the cry of fire, made by a street vagabond. The grand Jury of Clarke county, in its Presentments recommended that a new County be made, with Athens as the Capital. This ought to be done. Gen. J. B. McGruder died in Hous ton, Texas, Feb. 10th. The safety of the steamship Tennes see, and its arrival at San Domingo, is confirmed. A darkey left in charge of a tele graph office, in New Orleans, while the operator went to dinner, heard some one ‘call’ over the wires, and began shouting, “de operator isn’t here!”— The noise ceased. “Too moosh brandy,” said the Dutch man, “is too moosh: but too moosh lag er is shust enough.” A train of cars on the Columbia & Gre<shville R. R, was fired into, on Tuesday, and the engineer fatally wounded. The recent tornado in Troup and Meri weather conn ties, began about 9 miles this side of West Point, and was about a quarter of a’mile wide. A Presbyterian church has been or ganized at Cave Spring, with Rev. E. S. Axen, of Rome, as Pastor. Rents are low in Rome. W. M. Burnett and Miss Carrie Fos ter, daughter of A. G. Foster both of Madison, died last week Thirty-five ladies of Yassar College have bft<*ome “Bachelors of Art.” Hon. Robert Toombs will deliver his famous lecture on Magna Charta, in Atlanta, early in March. Right. Barbers are not allowed to keep their shops open on the Sabbath, in Atlanta. H. E Morrow retires from the Mid dle Georgian, and it passes into the hands of Messrs. Logan, Hunt & Mang ham—all true Democrats, worthy, and well qualified. We wish the new firm tbe success to which their merit enti tles them. Beautiful was the reply of a venera ble man to the question as to whether he was still in the land of the living.—< “No, but I am almost there !” “George,” asked the teacher of a school class, “who of all others shall you first wish to see when you get to heaven ?” “Gerliah !” shouted the lit tle urchin. Scarlet fever prevails in Greensboro. The letter to the citizens of Moon shine Summit, Ohio, on the celebration of the birthday of Horace Greely, at tributed to Hon. Robt. Toombs, does not read like its reputed author. We doubt iits authenticity. Dozier, who killed Odom, at the rail road Station, has been discharged at Columbus, on the ground that the kill ing w as in self-defence. In our trade with Europe, there are now 133 foreign steamers engaged, of which 101 are British, and not one -bearing the American flag. To this complexion has Radicalism reduced the Commercial marine of the country. Miria Victoria, the new queen of Spain, is reported dead. "flie Bill territorializing the District of Columbia has been signed by the President. One of the best men in the United States Senate became a Christian through the reading and reflection in cident to teaching a Bible class. The health of the Emperor William of Germany, excites grave anticipations. Larkin H. ... avis, one cf the best and oldest citizens of Atlanta, was struck with paralisys, a few days ago, and is in a critical condition. The Athens (Tenn.) Post says that many of the stories about illicit distil leries are manufactured to keep up the army of revenue officers, who swarm the country like the lice of Egypt. George Alfred Townsend, the Corre spondent of the Chicago Tribune, says, ‘‘instead of putting the word of God in the Constitution, we had better take some of the Devil out of the Govern ment. The Pacific Railroad is over three thousand miles in length. Louisville sold, last year, between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and thirty million dollars worth of goods. California has 40,534 orange trees 7,551 lemon trees, 45,656 fig trees, 29. 000 olive, 41.810 almond, 12,474 prune and 29,438 English wduut trees. Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts, is said to be seriously ill, his disease “an'guina pectoris,” and by his political friends attributed to the caning which he received, some years ago, from Brooks, of South Carolina. Curious that a disease of the chest should cotne from a blow on the head. Senator Miller has taken his seat in Congress. The High Commission, for settling the “Alabama claims,” has arrived at Washington. Allspice tea is said to be a certain and instantaneous cure for croup. It .seems at once to cut the phlegm loose and relieves the child. The Republican members of the In diana Legislature have resigned, be cause of a motion on tbe part of the Democrats to rediatriet the State, and legislation has stopped. There are 97 newspapers published in Georgia. Col. David W. Lewis has been re-el ected Secretary of the State Agricultu ral Society. The Kentucky Supreme Court has decided that a dog roaming on a neigh bor’s premises may be killed with im punity. A tailor was startled the other day, by the return of a bill which he sent to a Magazine Editor, that the manu script was respectfully declined. The Georgia State Agricultnral So ciety is now in session, at Macon, with a large attendance of members. The New Masonic Lodge, on the corner of Broad and Marietta streets, in Atlanta, was dedicated on the 22nd, with appropriate ceremonies, by Grand Master Laurence; Rev. Dr. Wills act ing Chaplain. The Lengthening Days. We have called January the drear iest and most cheerless of the twelve, and so it is usually considered. It generally brings us the coldest weath er of the year, and the absence of all traces of vegetable life, the ice and snow it generally brings, the depart ure of the last of the hardy birds tnat had withstood the rigors of December and the deadly aspect of every out of door sight, combiue to make it the least welcome of all the mouths. But let us do this dismal month justice.— In the midst of the profound death that pervades it, it gives us the first promise of tbe future life; the germ of the resurrection of nature is to be found in the very heart of its wintry adjuncts of icicles, frost, and snow.— In this month we first detect the signs of the lengthening days. The twenty-first of December shows the shortest day and the longest night, and for several days afterward there is no perceptible protraction of the day light. The sun makes his short 1 circuit across the southern sky in about nine hours, and the darkness swallows the world for a long fifteen hours. But early in January a change is detected; there is a feeble stirring under the libs of death; the congela tion round the heart of nature seems to grow loosened; the sun lingers a ?e?; momeiits in the vein try sky before it dips below the horizon; and we are aware that the days are growing long er. The process is slow at first, from the firat to the twelvth of the month, the sun rises precisely at twen ty-three minutes past seven, but it sets one minute later each day. The sun is slow of the clock, and the new gain of daylight is added to the afternoon, and from the first to the twenty-sec ond of the month there is a total gain of twenty-five minutes. Each succeed ing day brings a little more daylight, and nature seems to be emerging from a sepulchre. Unconsciously to our selves, we grow more cheerful; the cold, leaden skies become less inhospi table; -we submit patiently to the ice and snow, in the assurance that their reign will soon be over; and January loses a shart of its repulsiveness, be cause its cold white brow bears the gleam of a promised resurrection. [Home Journal . A person who is sick enough to need night watchers needs rest and quiet, and all the undisturbed repose lie can get If one or more persons are in the room reading, talking or whispering, as is often the case, this is impossible. There should be no light burning in tLj room imless it be a very dim one, so placed as to be out of sight of the patient Kerosene oil should never be used in the sick room. The attendant should quietly sleep or lie in the same room, or, what is usu ally better, in an adjoining room, so as to be within call if anything is wanted. In extreme cases, the attendant can frequently step quietly to the bedside to see if the patient is doing well, but all noise and light should be carfeully excluded. It is a common practice to Wilke phtients occasioally for fear they will sleep too soundly. This should never be done. Sleep is one of the greatest needs of the sick, and there is no danger of their getting too much of it. The air in the room should be kept pure apd sweet by thoroug ven tilation.— Herald of Health. The Same of Our River. Coi.umbus, Feb. 18, 1871. Editor of Ike Enquirer: In your issue of the 16th inst., ,ou refer to Strqgis Map of Georgia, upwards of fifty years ago, and now a few copies for sale by Messrs. Ellis & Spencer. You say, ‘‘We find on this map the derivation of the name of our river.— The name was formed of the Indian words Chatto and 2#xA«e-Ohatto mean ing a stone, and Hocliee flowered; so the compound word Chatto-Hocaee meant a flowered stone,” Ac. I think, Kir, there is u little error iu the definition giveu to the ludian words— i. e.. the definitions are trans posed. Chutta: in the Indiau lan guage, denotes color, and Uchee or Oochee (which is nearer the Indian pro nunciation) denotes a stone. Forex ample, Eesta-Chatta denotes Indian or Red Man; Eesta-Hadka, white man; Eesia-Lusta, negro or black man— Eesta deuotiug person, and Chatta, Hadka, and Lusta denoting color.— Oochee, when used figuratively or by comparison, means hardness, insensi bility, stupidity, &c. Hence the Cow eta Indians, who regarded f bemsclves as being greatly the superiors of the Ooches or Uchees, frequently used the tribe name reproachfully and in deri sion ou account of the stupidity of the Uchee Indians. Tbe district of coun try inhabited by £he Uchee Indians lava little below Columbus. Wheth er the name Uchee, as applied to the tribe of lndiuns, had its origin in any of their peculiarities, habits or charac ter, I cannot tell. The Uchees had a very different dialect from the Cowe tas; they could not understand each other, only as acquired by intercom munication. The Indians having no written lan guage may readily account for the di versity of spelling and pronouncing In dian words. The Indians usually, it not always, accented the last syllable of proper names; and the more impor tant the place or object named, the heavier the acceut. Our county and river are examples—the river being pronounced as if written Chat-ta-oo chee, the word being passed over very rapidly to the last syllable, then a double accent with prolongation of sound. Muscogee is pronounced in a similar manner. Fifty years ago there were large quantities of small stones in our river, of many colors, reddish and yellowish predominating. The water in the riv er was then very clear, not being col ored by the washing of cultivated lands as it now is; the stones could be seen to a great depth in the water; the col ors were much heightened by being seen through the clear water, and on a bright day presented a scene of grandeur uud beauty. Mauy stones yet remain, but much— aye,—most of their beauty is lost. According to the information receiv ed from the Indians, there appears to be no doubt but that the existence of these stones gave the name to our riv er. Whether Red Stone or Flowered Stone be the most literal, let the public decide. If we desire to retain the Indian pronunciation of the name of our river, we should drop the h in the third syl lable, or mark as a mute. I think the most delicate ear would have been un able to have detected in an Indian speaker, and of the aspirate sound of h in what we write and call Chattahoochee. A Faithful Portrait. —The bitter est, meanest, most malignant and rad ical of the whole radical tribe—the man who takes a fiendish delight in per secuting the South, and iu whose bos om a kind and generous emotion • nev er entered—is Oliver P. Morton, the cripple who, in part, misrepresents the State of Indiana in the Senate of the United States. If the man has one re deeming moral feature in his whole character, tfe have failed to discover it. He is the impersonation of envy, ha tred, and all uncharitubieness. Like S*tau in Pandemonium, he towers above all the bad men of Congress in all that is diabolical and hateful. But ler, “the Beast,” with all his wicked ness, has occasionally a gleam of gene rous sunshine to shoot athwart his heart, but this man, never. His entire nature seems engrossed with the mean est passions that curse the human race Decrepit and hardly able to move, it is said from the effects of a li centious life, he totters to an early doom, and his soul, instead of lifting it self to thoughts sublime, appears, as he approaches it, to absorb from day to day more and more of the fiendish passions and desires of the infernal pit. When Oliver P. Morton dies, an ene my to the human race will have passed away. This much by the way of introduc tion to a portrait of his character, is copied elsewhere from the Washington Patriot. . We learn from a private source, that the city of Dawson was visited by a terrible fire on the night of the 22nd inst. The prin cipal sufferers were: B. F. Collins, Brown & Sharp, Farnihn, Sharp & Cos., A. J. Baldwin, Jr., G. B. Thompson, Pat Ward, H. B. Thomas, J imes & Bro., N. H. Lee, Ed Kutner, the Post Office, Barber Shop and Black Smith Shop, were also burned.— A Kansas City editor, who em ploy 8 a Chinese laundryman, is in a pauic. Hear him: “They sent home with our washing yesterday ft thing that branches off in two ways a little below the top, like a railway junction, and has puckered frills edged with ‘tetting’ on each end of the divide. - We don’t know what it is, and we’ie a poor, friendless man, with only our virtue, and none but villains would seek to injure that” Bsfc-Not liking the new heading to our paper of Friday last, we ha’ra a gain changed it to one we like better. Variety is the spice of life, anyway. Bowen, the Bigamist and the Washington Women. The Washington Republican informs us that, this wretch is the seusation at present, among the women of that city. It says: ‘Tu sewing circles, at tea parties, in the lull of fashionable reception, where ever two or more of the fair sex come together, the hero of the bigamy case trial which has just ended is the ab sorbing topic of conversation. We have been overwhelmed with inquiries as to the appearance arid j>'rmnnel of Bowen, whether he is dark or fair, youthful or middle-aged, short or tall, whether his eyes are black or blue, or both, and one young lady of poetic sen sibi.ities wishes to know which of Lord Byron’s characters we think he resem bles.” f J he editor then goes on to describe Bowen’s personal appearance as fol lows. * We judge .hat after reading it, these women will still be more ex cited over the “hero.” “To satisfy curio-ity we shall attempt au outline of the man who has made the sensation of the past week. His eyes and mustache are remarkable, the former dark and glittering as a piece of anthracite coal, the latter as large as a waterfall—a lady's waterfall we mean; beard coveriug chin like a dense undergrowth of scrub-grass in a pri meval forest; complexiou pale and del icate; face full and handsome. He is a picturesque man; looks like our ide al corsair or buccaneer, and yet is as mild and mannered man as ever scuttled a ship, etc. As we saw him only once, we cannot recall the details of his appearance; but he certainly has a remarauble physique and a marvel ous development of the organ of auia tiveness. In the days when the “slave power” gave tone to Washii gton society, this man and his crimes would have been remitted to the sympathy and com ment of the demi-monde. Now, when “great moral ideas” and Radical en lightenment and civiliz itiou rule, they furnish the staple of talk in the most fashionable circles of what is called ‘so ciety.’ The Puritan cant is that slav ery was a “horrid crime,” a “barbar ism,” etc., but one thing is very certain: The men it sent to Washington to rep resent the section where it prevailed would not steal, and their wives was as pure and chaste in their selection of topics for conversation as they were in their lives and associations. A little “barbarism” just now at Washington, it strikes us, would not be out of place. —Macon Tdegraph. The Mosquito. The Red River Indians have a curious legend respecting the origin of mos quitoes. They say that once upon a time there was a famine, and the In dians c >uld get no game. Hundreds had died from hunger, and desolation filled their country. All kiuds of of ferings were made to the Great Spirit without avail, till one day two hunters came upon a white wolverine, a very rare animal. Upon shooting the white wolverine an old womau sprang out of the skin, and saying th it she was a “Mauito,” promised to go and live with the Indians promising them plenty of game as long as they treated her well and gave her the first choice of all the game that should be brought in. The two Indians assented to this, and took the old woman home with them—which event was immediately succeeded by an abundance of game. When the sharpness of the famine h id passed in the prosperity which the old woman had brought to the tribes, the Indians became dainty in their appe tites, and complained of the manner in which the old woman took to her self all the choice bits; and thus feel ing became so intense that, notwith standing the warning that if they vio lated their promise a terrible calamity would come upon the Indians, they one day killed her as she was seizing her shear of a fat which the hunters had brought in. Great consternation immediately struck the witnesses of the deed, and the Indians, to escape the predicted calamity, boldly struck their tents and moved away to a great distance.— Time passed on wihout any catas trophe occurring, and, game becoming more plentiful, the Indians again be gan to laugh at their being deceived by an old woman. Finally, a hunting party on the long chase of a reindeer, which had led them back to the spot where the old woman was killed, came upon her skeleton, and one of them in derision kicked the skull with his foot. In an instant a small, spiral, vapor-like bcdy arose from the eyes and ears of the skull, which proved to be insects, that attacted the huuters with great fury, and drove them to the river for protection. The skull continues to pour out its little stream, and the air become full of avengers of the old wo man’s death. The hunters, upon re turning to camp, found all the Indians suffering terribly from the plague, and and ever since that time the Indians have been punished by the mosqui qnitoes for the wickedness to their pre server, the Mauito. The Upper Crust of Washington colored society is in ferment over the approaching marriage of an ebon hued physician with e lady of pure Caucas ian blood, who holds a prominent po sition in the Freedman’s Bureau.
