The report that Humphries, Ihe man con

his possession a double-barralled shot gun

had shot three times at his wife since he
broke jail. He went back to Kingston, but
<did no one any harm, nor neither tried to.

JWSrFall fights opened brisk ou
Saturday last. Benzine in demand.
tktP It is currently reported here
that Green Spencer, who shot and
killed Mr. R. F. Smith, of this place,
in the Fall of 1809, and who made his
escape, has been arrested, and is now
on routa for Cartersville, to stand his"
trial. Wo did not learn the particu
lars.
Another one of the prisoners, a
negro, who broke jail not long since in
this place, has been re-captured. On
ly two of the seven who escaped, are
now at large.
A man by the name of
an employee of the Western & Atlantic
Railroad, was ran over and killed by
the up through freight train, just below
the railroad bridge over the Etowah
River, about two aud a half miles from
this place, on Saturday night last.—
Mr. Fossit, we are told, was intoxica
ted, aud lying on the track. He was
horribly mutilated, his body being
almost crushed to atoms, and his head
severed from his body by the the
wheels of the flying engine.
Mr. R. F. Pickren, of this place,
has two huge ears of corn, hanging in
front of his store house, which grew on
the plantation of Mr. Francis Fon
taine, six miles above here, on the
Tennessee road. Mr. Fontaine has
18 or 20 acres in corn, we are credibly
informed, that will average 40 bushels
to the acre. The ears Mr. Pickren
has grew on this piece of ground, and
are only a fair specimen—about the
average size of the ears of the entire
field.
I@U Are we going to have a Tourn
ament at our approaching Fair ? This
question has been propounded to us
often of late, and we being unable to
answer it, now put it the people of
Cartersville and vicinity, who feel in
terested in the Fair, and hope for its
success. Wo are in favor of it, and
haviug conversed with a majority of
them upon the subject, we are pretty
sure that nearly all our citizens are iti
favor of it, also, and are willing to
aid iu getting up the prizes. Many
say that a Fair without a Tournament
must, of necessity, be a poor one, and
that is precisely our opinion. We ai’e
aware that there are a very few
who oppose it, but upon what grounds
they found their opposition, we nor
they can tell. But on the other hand,
there are a great many of our best and
most influential citizens who appro vs
it, and will do all they can to get it
up; then why not have it? If the
Tournament is dispensed with, th®
most attractive feature of the Fair will
have been abolished.
Efforts are now being made to raise
money sufficient to purchase the prizes
and we do hope our citizens will re
spond liberally. Mr. R. L. Sellers will
present you with the list, and every
man who refuses to contribute, will
be put on Sellers’ old fogy book for
future reference. Let’s have the
Tournament, then, and a big one, and
it will conduce much to tho interest
of the Fair, and afford the gentlemen
who engage iD it, recreation, and the
spectators condderrble fun. In case
it is gotten up, the day they ride for
the prizes, will be, by far, the biggest
day of the Fair.
*@U Accompanied by Capt. F. S.
Fitch, of that sprightly, wide-a-wake,
sound Democratic paper, the Griffin
Star, we left Cartersville, bound for
Van Wert aud Rock Mart, on
Wednesday of last week. Having an
excellent conveyance, which we pro
cured from the Livery Stable of the
Messrs. Roberts, we reached our place
of destination after a most pleasant
drive of four hours. Arriving at the
little village, we turned our faithful
beast over to Messrs. Jesse Pritchett
and Boully Sima, proprietors of the
horse hotel at Rock Mart, and then
bent our footsteps iu the direction of
Mrs. Cox’s ‘folks hotel,’ where we were
met and welcomed by the landlady, in
a way and manner peculiarly her own.
After partaking of an excellent repast,
just such an one as our hostess alone
could prepare, we were shown into a
neatly furnished, well-ventillated little
room, and availed ourselves of the fine
opportunity there offered, and took a
delightful nap of sleep. Feeling great
ly refreshed, when we awoke, we or
dered Selim, and took a ride over to
Aan Wert, via the celebrated Slate
Quarries of Messrs. Jones and Loch
rane, and found a numberof the indus
tiious sons of Wales engaged in getting
out slate. As wo stood gazing with
wonder aud admiration upon that
grand old mountain of slate, whoso
hetul towered far above us, heaven
ward, we felt as one only can feel when
viewing such stupendous wotktref na
ture. Just at the base of the moun
tain flow the graceful water* of
Eubarlee Cree k, the banks of which
equal those of any stream we ever saw
in regard to picturesque beuuty aud
loveliness. Imagine then, that lofty:
mountain, with its projecting clifts of j
slato hanging almost perpendicularly
over your head, on the one side, aud
the gently flowing little stream, which
goes dancing merrily along on the other
and you may perhaps, form some idea
of the beauty and romantic appearance
of those mines and their surroundings.
The slate made at these miues, we
were told, is equal in quality to any
in the United States, and is inexhaust
ible. After spending some time at the
quarries, we proceeded on our way to
Yan Wert, which place we soon reach
ed, and found everybody aud every
thing lively, and in good spirits.—
We spent an hour or two very
pleasantly there, in social conversation
with old friends and acquaintances,
and among others, Judge Barber, El
lis Whitehead, Esq., and Judge B. D-
Heslep, and Capt. J. M. Ware, all of
whom are high-toned, intelligent gen
tlemen. It afforded us great pleasure
to sit and listen to the views of Judge
Heslep, wjyp is perhaps past three
score years and ten, upon the political
situation of the country, and we think
they should command the considera
tion of all. It is really refreshing iu
these days of political degeneracy and
corruption to meet up with an honest,
conscientious man like Judge Heslep.
Leaving Yan Wert just as the day
god was sinking behind the Western
hills, we drove over to the magnificent
residence of Col. Seaborn Jones, and
he being absent, we returned to Rock
Mart, where we spent the night.
Next morning we arose feeling as
gay as larks, and after doing full jus
tice to a splendid breakfast, presided!
over by Mrs. Cox, our hospitable host
ess, we took a tramp over tho little
town, and found the merchants driv
ing a right lively trade, considering
the general dullness of the times.—
Mr. W Ferguson, son-in-law of our
respected townsman, Mr. N. Gilreath,
was receiving now goods, preparatory
for the Fall trade, and as he is a de
serving young man, we predict for
him a liberal patronage.
About ten o’clock wo took our de
parture for Cartersville. The first
place at which we stopped, was a cave
about four miles this side of Van Wert,
which Capt. Fitch called the “cave of
Macpelah.” We alighted, and what
was our astonishment at seeing our
companion descending, (coon fashion,)
that dark cavern, bidding us follow
him, which we did, and after cooning
it some distance, we found ourselves
ou the floor of the first room. We
cannot describe our feelings; words
are wholly inadequate; there wo stood
in dread suspense, expecting every
minute to be the next; trying with
all the eyes we had to penetrate the
impenetrable darkness and gloom,
which enveloped us, but alas 1 mortal
ken was too weak; we felt our heart
way up in our throat; despair was
seizing upon us; the cavern was made
doubly hideous by bats and owls, and
in the last stages of despair wo called
to our companion, and for a moment,,
which seemed an age, a dread, solemn
stillness reigned, then in subterranean
tones, resounding through the hollow
abj ss, we heard the Captain far ahead
calling us hither; we found him in
what we termed the ball-room, and
lighting a match we lit a torch, and
surveyed the surroundings; there were
shelves, tables, candle-stands, and
dooi's leading from one apartment to
another. Becoming tired, and fearing
that Selim might become impatient,
and leave us to come home by the
“peoples’ line,” we commenced to re
trace our steps, and after a while,
we got out, and a littlo stomach
bitters, procured from Billy James, be
fore leaving Cartersville, made us our
self again, and we proceeded on our
way, rejoicing. •
Our next stopping place was at the
city of Taylorsville, the terminus of
the Cherokee Railroad. It is a flour
ishing little town, and does a heavy
business.
Leaving Taylorsville, wo started for
Cartersville, which place we reached
about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and
after eating a number one dinner at
Bridges’ Restaurant, we went to the
Court House, and listened to the able
address of Col. Barnett, which was full
of hard sense. After he had concluded,
Capt. Peacock introduced to the aud
ience, Col. Tom Howard, who made a
few well-timed and sensible remarks.
Tho meeting then adjourned.
BgL, It is .with regret t hat wo chron
icle the death of Col. John L. Row
land, a well known citizen of Bartow
County, who died in Galveston, Texas,
on the 19th of August last., after a few
hours illness, of congestion of the
brain. VVe tender our heart-folt con
dolence to his bereaved family.

Whereas, The Legislature at its last ses

Acts incorporating the town of Cartersville,
in the County of Bartow, and to repeal all
Acts, and parts of Acts in conflict with this
Act,” in the following words and figures, to
wit:

said Board of Commissioners shall have pow
er and authority to fix the amount to be
paid by any person or persons for license to
retail spiritous and malt liquors. Provided
said amount shall not exceed three hundred
dollars per. annum, and the amount paid for
such license in said town shall be paid into
the Treasury of said town, for the benefit
thereof; and said Board of Commissioners,
shall have power and authority to levy and
collect such tax on all real and personal
property within the corporate limits of said
town, as they may think proper: Provided,
That the tax on the value of the real and
personal property in said town, shall not ex
ceed one-lialf of one per. cent.
Sue. 3. And be it further enacted: That if
any person or persons, shall fail or refuse
to comply with the pYovisions of the ordi
nances of said town, fixing the fee for, and
regulating the granting of license to retail
spirituous and malt liquors within said town,
said Board of Commissioners shall have
power and authority to levy and have col
lected a fine not exceeding Ten Dollars for
each day any person or persons shall sell
any spirituous or malt liquors, within the
corporate limits of said town, without com
plying with the said ordinances regulating
the Same. 7 : , . .•»
Sue. 4. And be it further enacted: That no
person shall be eligible to the office of Com
missioner of said town, or to vote for Com

required of him by the authorities of said
town during the time he has resided within
the corporate limits of said town, and done
all the work on the streets in said town that
may have been required of him.
S ec. 5. And be it further enacted: That
said Board of Commissioners shall have pow
er to levy and collect an *xtra tax in addi
Tion to the taxes herinbefofe provided,

thority aforesaid.- That any person liable to

cers of said town believing said Act to be
valid, have worked out the roads at great ex
