EUegall, of this county, and daughter of James Attaway, of this place, departed this life, after a brief bat severe illness of less than twenty-four hours, on Friday morning last. Nhe died in peace.

The report that Humphries, Ihe man con demned to be hung on the 29th inst., had in his possession a double-barralled shot gun and a hatchet, when recently recaptured, we learn is false, as is also the story that he 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. The ground has been cleaned off, and the lumber being delivered upon it, for the erection of the Sale and Livery Stable of Messrs. R. C. & J. E. Roberts. Grain* of Gold. A day of idleness tires more than a •woek of work. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. Right is a dull weapon, unless skill and good sense wield it. The man who never made a mistake never made a discovery. Those who praise you in the begin ing, will ask favors in the end Phj-sic, for the most part, is not a substitute for exercise or temper ance. Vanity is of much greater consider ation with people generally than utili ty. Opinions founded upon mere preju dice are always sustained with the greatest violence. Genius has limits; virtue has none’ every one pure and good can become purer and better still. The cultivation of the moral nature iu man is the grand means for the im provement of society. That conduct sometimes seems ri diculous the secret reason of which may, perhaps, be wise and solid. A mind too active and vigorous wears away the body, as the finest jew els do soonest wear their settings. We often omit the good we might do in consequence of thinking about that which it is out of our power to da There is no one so innocent as not to be evi? spoken of; there is no one so wicked as to merit all condemna tion. It is one of the worst of errors to suppose that there is any other path of safety except that of duty. Every heart has its secret sorrow, which the world knows not, and often times we call a man cold when he was only sad. A promise should be given with cau tion and kept with care. It should be made with the heart and remembered with the head. Bay and night yield us contrary blessings, and at the same time assist each other, by giving fresh lustre to the delights of both. There are men who, by long con sulting only their own inclination, have forgotten that others have a claim to the same deference. 1: Truthfulness is a corner stone in character; and if it be not firmly laid in youth, there will be a weak spot iu the foundation. Memory is a patient camel, bearing huge burdens over life’s sandy desert Intuition is a bird of paradise, drink ing in the aroma of celestial flowers. Temper—Every human creature is sensible to some infirmities of temper, which it should be his care to correct and subdue, particularly in the early period of life. Measure of Happiness.—lt is a great blunder in the pursuit of happi ness not to know that; we have got it; that is, not to be content with a rea sonable and possible measure of it. The improvement of the understand ing is for two ends—first, our own increase of knowledge; secondly, to enable us to deliver and make out that knowledge to others. LOCAL ITEMS. T O W JN* MA T X E 11». ijl '%■ "* •J. T. Gibwon, Local Editor. liaT* The weather at present, is cool and bracing. The general health of tho town is excellent. "" 1 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. Exitin'runt 11 cal lit Is a blessing vouchsafed to few.

It is not 100 much to say that more than half the people of the civilized world need an occasieual tonic, to enable thorn to sup port the strain upon their bodies and minds, which the fast life of this reckless age occa sions. In fact, pure, wholesome, unexciting tonic is the grand desideratum of the busy millions, and they have the article in If os tetter’s Stomach Bitters. It is a stamina! medicine, i. e. it imparts permanent strength to weak systems and invigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputation and its sales have steadily increased. Competitive pre parations have been introduced ad libitum, aud, as far as the public is ooueerned, ad nauseum, in the hope of rivaling it; but they have all either perished in the attempt, or been left far in the rear.

To Amcml and Alter and Add to Hie Several Acts Im'orporuiftiK 1 lie Town of Carter** ille, and to make valid certain Acts of tlic Ollleers of said Town: Whereas, The Legislature at its last ses sion, passed “an Act to amend the several 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: Sec 1. The General Assembly of the State of Georgia do enact: That the corporate lim its of the town of Cartersville, shall be two miles square, and the Depot of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in said town, shall be the centre of said corporate limits, and the lines of said corporate limits shall run North, East, AVest and South.
