Humphries, the man under aentence of d.'ath for the killing of hiaaon. at Kingston, in June taut, and who in condemned to be hung on Friday, the 29th September proxi *o, »n 1 whobr*6ke jail, in this place, on tho night of the 28rd, w»» recaptured' at or near Kingston, on the night of the 30th.— He had in his possession, it is said, a double barrelled shot gun and a hatchet. It is fur ther stated that he had shot at his wife three times since he broke jail. It seems that he Is bent on killing his wife, and, perhaps, others, too. Instead of leaving the country and fleeing to parts unknown, he went right bark to the stage of his former bloody tra gedy, and rearmed himself for the work of death. It is to be hoped that he will be so manacled an that his second escape will nev er be effected. The security of his wife and the community at large dcinads that this be done. lltmskul.—bast ovening at 9 o’clock, John A. Fittcli and the beautiful Miss Ma riana Turner, both of this city, were mar ri*d. Just before night tho numerous friends and associates of Mr. Fitten inveig led him into a room of one of the party, and for a few minutes toasts, and song, and mer ry making, and good wishes were indulged In Os course Fitten came in for his share of the "cute” and’‘slashes” of the thought lei* crowd of worthless bachelors who had MRtiubled for the (real) purpose of celebra ting his new departure. The happy couple left on the 10$ train for new York, where they will spend the honeymoon. Allanta Sun iOth.

H. H. HALL. Cartersville, Aug. 30, 1871. The meeting at Felton’s Cross Roads Fhapel is progressing with increasing in terest, daily and nightly. Many seekers at the ahar for prayer. Fine congregations in attendance upon preaching. Prospects flat, tering for a sweeping revival of religion. We notice wagon lends of lime coming in is this place for shipment on tho railroad.— i The barrels are branded “Alabaster Lime Atlanta, Ga.” Wonder how it comes that lime put up in Atlanta is being Shipped fegni Harlow county to Atlanta ? There is a kiln near this place, at tho foot of Hendrix Mountain, that is turning out a very supe rior article of Alabaster lime, which is the product of Barlow county. Come, gentle men, render to Atlanta the things which are Atlanta's, and to Bartow county the things wliivh belong to Bartow county. Mr. G, 8, Lowndes, Traveling Agent for the live Wholesale Tobacco House of Jour 'httb Howard & Harralson, Atlanta, Ga.. called in to see us yesterday. He gives a ?°od account of the business of that excel- I Irat firm and house. Our merchants near | '7 *H trade with them: and all would do it I if they know them.

Written for the Cartersville Express.] An Eltgy on (lie Slain at Alla toona and Kennesavr, Let not a voice of man be heard, No, uofa single human word ; On Allatoona's lonely height. Or. Kennesaw, from morn till night, Ts*t silence reign or nature speak, For words of man wonld be too weak 1 Let emblem* stand,— and mournful sounds lie ever heard o’er hallowed grounds, Where fought and bled our fearless braves, Who lie around in shallow graves, Chant, Etowah, forevermore, A requiem from shore to shore ; To coves, the echo ever sound, The everlasting hills around, And Chattahoochee ever weep, Hear tears of woe to ocean deep, Forever let them onward roll, Till frozen at the Arctic pole, And rocks of ages never sleep, But silent vigils ever keep, Brave old oaks stand sentinel, Ye stood the fight so firm, so well, Spread wide your banners, dog-wood* white, Nor furl them on a starless night, Sing mournful tunes, sweet mockiqg-bird. Gay notes w ould shock—should not bo heard, Sit side by side, with turtle-doVi, Resound his notes from grove to grove. Till night comes on, so dark, so still. Then list to notes of whip-poor-will ; Bow down, ye slender, moaning pines, Lie low, yc tender, creeping vines ; Fall, gentle dews, and moist the sod, Once drenched by bravest human blood ; Let wild flowers spring and wave On ever spot where fell a brave. There’s land enough, beside, to till, Oh. let them sleep—that sleep so still Fall lightly, gently, crab-tree flowers, And winter snows and summer showers ; Waft, Southern breezes, e’er perfumed, O'er heroes, not in earth entombed. But moulding in the air—profound, Fit graves for those that ne’er were bound ; No despot, now, can break their rest. Whose power to rule they ne’er confess’d ; They rather chose the King that’s just, To him they bowed, and bit the dust. The ground is holy where they lie. Their monument’s the vaulted sky. And. there, inscriptions, true and bright. Forever shine, though hid from sight, Till viewed by rays of heavenly light, That ne’er are dimed by shades of night. M. Nell. Ntekah Arm ah, August 13th, JB7l. AT THE CROSS. Before Tby Cross, dear Lord, I fall ; Out of the depths to Thee I call— Thou art my Hope, my Help, my All. Search, search my heart, surcharged with woe, ’Till all itH idols it forego, And Thee, Thee only, learn to know. A thorny path, with flints bespread, With bleeding feet I fearless tread, For Thy dear hand upholds my head. Oh ! dearest Lord ! Thy tender eyo Rebukes, yet pities my lone cry, When struggling ’neath my cross I lie. The broken cisterns who shall count, The heart will fill at earth’s dark fount, Ere upward unto God it mounts ? Poor human heart, with human needs, How many are its broken reeds! Grasped till the band in torture bleeds. How many gourds have felt the blight? How many stars have lost tlioir light ? How many suns gone down in night? All, all are gone, like barks at sea, Lost in the dread immensity, And now I stand alone with Thee. All prostrate at Thy cross I kneel, For Thou canst all our sorrows feel; And Thy dear hand our wounds can heal. No more I mark the dreary road. My bleeding feet so long have trod, Since it hath led to Thee, my God. “The Better Country.’* Wbero is there a man who ia satis fied with the country where he dwells, and who docs not, sometimes, at least, imagine that he could find a better. Man is disquieted everywhere on earth, and sighs for something better than this world can give. There is no fa vored spot where the voice of the com plainer is not heard ; no “ happy val ley” where true contentment reigns Earth has majestic mountains, purling streams and valleys of perfume, which are pleasant to behold, but life’s pil grims soon weary of the sight, and long for something nobler, sweeter and better! Could we find on earth a fancied paradise, where nature has lavished her blessings in endless pro fusion, where the flowers unceasingly bloom, “ And tho song of the nightin gale never is mute,” we would not long be satisfied to dwell there—we would sigh for a “ better country!” “ Poor wanderers of a stormy day, From wave to wave we’re driven ; Aud fancy 8 flush and reason's ray, Serve but to light the troubled way, There’s nothing bright but heaven !” There is a “ better country” some where, and our unrest here is an evi dence that wc were formed for a hijjh er, happier sphere and a nobler des tiny. “ Elfc, v. hence this pleasing hope this fond desire, this longing* after, im mortality? Or, whence this secret dread, this inward horror of falling into nought?” There must be a country, whose in habitant shall not say, ** lain sick,” a country where the good shall live agaiu and be recompensed for nil the toils and sufferings endured iu this life, a country where severed friends may meet and broken ties be Lueuded ; and that country is Heaven. Personal. Fitch, of the Slar, called to see us this week. He, and the Star, are sparkling and bright; One ahinet In day-time, the other at niyht. Tho’ the times are getting tighter ami tighter. May the light of the Star grow brighter and brighter. This ardent desire we most gladly Expr*»-j We couldn’t say more, and will not say less. §@7- Wo are gratified to announce that the health of Col. Akin and fami ly is improving. Three of that once happy house-hold have been taken away by a terrible disease of the throat. The remaining littlo sufferers, we hope, will soon be restored to perfect health. HaT* Rev. It. H. Jones* new brick house, on West Main street, will soon be completed, and will preseut quite a fine appearance. When fiuished it will be one of the best business houses in town. «•» Cartersville is steadily growing. Evidences of its increasing importance and prosperity are being witnessed ev ery day. Houses are going up, as if by magic, all around, and we think our town will soon be a city of no common magnitude in the course of— time. KuHluxetl- A darkey, who ou mischief bent, Into a patch of ’taters weut; With critic eye he viewed the ground, To see if danger there was found ; Supposing, then, that there was none, With energy his work begun. The zeal with which he used his claws, Was worthy of a better cause ; But presently a form was seen— An object tall aud white and lean— And Sambo, with a yell and bound, Made haste to leave the enchanted ground. And all night long he ran and ran, An outraged and a wretched man ; But soon he sought and found pro tection, With those who use him at tho " 'lec tion.” A. Ku-Klux charge, I have no doubt, Against some one will be made out; And if I know who scared that I’d tell it, if I thought I cuter! iHonhtcr Prize. Everybody now-a-days more or leas trusts to luck; and this probably is the reason why the great scheme of Gene rals Butler aud Gary, and Mr. John Chadwick, of the South Carolina Im migration Association, has met with such remarkable success. A five dol lar ticket calls for one of 2,404 prizes, the largest of which, is an Academy of Music worth $250,000; the second ) $100,000; the third, $25,000; and so on, from SIO,OOO downwards.
