" he SEMI-WEEKLY EXPRESS. J ' W. HAHltm, \ H. *mmb, <■ Editors ami Proprietors. r H- muhwstkk, | c 'K't’EKSVIU,K, «}.\., SKPTKM. 12, 1871. ■‘A Man of Slraw.” The Methodist Advocate, (save the m ftrk!) a Radical sheet, (which needs washing,) pnl lished in Atlanta, is out in a lengthy, labored article, in which the editor attempts to show to the Northern people that an effort will be made in the South, to get pay f*r our liberated slaves. He has erected this “man of straw/' and is lighting it most desperately 1 Well, provided what be i says bo true, is that any of his busi ness ? Is that tho way he proposes to; spread “Soriptnral holiness over these ! lauds ?” Is the slime he spews upon I us, the cement with which he hopes to unite us to the “mother Church ?’’ He says all manner of hard things about us, and still wants as to be ‘‘brethren!” Compares us to thieves and robbers*, nml opens to us the ‘door* of the Church 1“ He says: “If slaves were prooerty at all, they were stolen property, to which the master hae no more right than a thief or high-waymau to his plunder. They were stolen from 1 Africa, and the purchaser knew this fact when he bought theml" Well, who kidna}rped them ? who stole them in the tirst place? Who Wild them to 1 us, and what him become of the muo- j ey ? Pay us back “oar own with usu ry,” and we wifi tie latisficd. No one is simple enough to think of taking, try fore c, remuneration for our slave*. If j we are ever paid for them at all, any man of sense knows it will be ft vol untary act of the Government, ft a was their liberation. Hut this precious disciple of peace and good will, gut* farther and says: “‘There would he aouie propriety in a union of freeduiou to cutlni tages for tbheir yearn of unpaid toil. A counter {movement of this kind might be en tconraged by every pbilnmliropist in !tho laud, ami uigtd by every consid er .lion of justice.” We have neither ; time, nor inclination, nor taste to pur sene this Radical light any further.— \IVe merely wished our renders to know > bouidhiug of the animus of certain iiluminarie ß —"Northern lights” who i huve come South to teach our people rrighteousness. And this man is a IlVctor of Divinity ! If such Divinity ; ad. bis does not need doctoring , there is iiaci use for doctors of that variety. •Go! liorne, Dixior Fuller, and let the {ipucr negroes alone. They will im (firove slowly, and behave themselves if i jwvvmr sort will cease to put mischief in i«lo their heads, ho home, and p e cli lithe Gospel to those who may be will- ■ i iug to hear you, und cease to vex yoor i righteous (!) soul about the sins of the : Southern people. The government . can take care of itself without your help, and will never thank you, much | less jmij you for your “years of unpaid toil.” Go home, and may joy go with you, and peace will he left behind you. A Rad ical Editor INufiutled. Smuj-ze, the editor of the American Union, publish* and at Macon, Ga., con fesses tlial certain scenes and occur rences connected with his party in Bibb County, “ought to disgust any bo dy that have any decency left in them/'; He says he has “abundant cause for being disgusted with the negro,” who, “dolled with a little brief authority has been cutting such fantastic tricks before high Heaven, as to make” even the Radicals weep! Swayze very appropriately quotes the quaint old proverb, “Put a beggar on horse-back, and he will ride to the devil,” and ap plies it to the high Sheriff of Bibb, (colored,) who has been cutting up generally, and who seems to comider himself “monarch of all he surveys.”— Go it, Ouffee ! If they will give you rope enough you will hang yourself, and so will your party. We admire the candor of the editor of the Union, and have no doubt but that he has been very “well raised,” nud his “de parture” from “the way he should S°” is the result of circumstances, and ou ly temporary. It is a good rule to have “a place for everytniug, and have everything in its place.” Cuffee has a jJaee, and should stay in it, and his j/ace is certainly not in office, where he Cau “lord it” over decent white folks.

Politic's and other matters being ! gener lly dull, it is thought that a few lines ceiicerning om trip to Polk coun ’ty last week might interest some of I our readers. Through the the courte sy of t v Governor Blown, President of the W. Ad A. R. R. Com pan , we got from A lania to Cnrtersville utterly re g trdlehH of < xjKinses. On arrival at this i-omt, the Rev. Sain. Smith, of tin* ! Curtersville Expresa, met us by proxy, at the depot, and had us conducted to his hospitable residence. Thomas Gibs in, lwp, who is the far Main of the Express office, did the honors of the o<*casion in a style that reflected honor, not only upon himself, but tip lon Pro. Smith. For cleverness and go<xl feeling commend ns to Sam. Smith. Aud uow * few words in behalf of CAKTKKbVILKE. Few places in Georgia have made such rapid stiides in piogrcssive in dus ry nnd prosperity as Uarters vilie, the new county seat of Bartow county. Although a prosperous vil lage before the war, yet Sherman’s ar my destroyed the town, and when peace came, there wus scarcely one •tone standing upon another to mark the place. Now there is a population of aU<ut 3,000, und it is constantly in creasing. Their uew Court House is a splendid tnick building, covered with slate, and built after the most approv ed style of modern architecture. The jail now being erected at a cost of about $15,000, is, perhaps, the best jail house iu the State, und when com pleted will defy the ingenuity of the most expert jail-breakers. The car factory is in successful oj»eratiou, and is at the present time filling a large or- j der for the Western A Atlantic Rail- j road Company. Scofields Iron Works | are doing a large business. There is also a large wagon and buggy rnanu- j factory, and rnuuy other industrial en terprises. j A remarkable feature of Cartens vilie society is, that almost all the men are preaeheis. As an illustration, take the Curtersville Express’ editori ul corps, Sam. Smith, the head of the j concern, is a popular and active preacliei; Col. Watt Harris, second in j command, is a preacher; Mr. Brews- | ter is also a preacher, und Tommy I Gil won, local and foreman of the of- 1 fie**, is studying for the ministry. In the other avocatious of life the preach er element is predominant. In fact, 1 most uli the people there are preach- ! ers; .ind Mr. Hudgins has a preuebers’ private entry to ins grocery. We saw two men there who were not preach ers; one was Judge Parrott, but he ex horts frequently, and is powerfully! •gifted” in prayer. The other was Col. Crawford, more generally known j as the Baiou Rothehild, of America; but he carries (financially) several churches upou Ins broad shoulders.—- So tiiat, take •ai tersville all in all, she has probably more advantages in the way of ibe “means of grace” than any other town in the State. Fiom Carters ville we penetrated the interior, by men in* of Gen. Roberts’ blood. (1 horse express, to the nucieut town oi \ a;. \\ lil, forimrly the Capitol of lVlk county, passing through a por tion of the rich valley of the beautiful Etowah, and occasionally touching the ferule lands of Euharlec Creek. Our first stopping ph.ee was the village of Rock Mull, Witicu is the epot station on the Cartersville & Cherokee Rail road, fur the blute Quarries of Polk.— Hero we slopped and made a hasty in spection of the quaims and the oper ation of the workmen. The supply of slate is in. xhuustable; the quality equal to any of the slate banks in this count:}, and the facilities of getting it to nttukel will soou l*e such as to ena ble the proprietors to successfully com pete with any slate market in the world. The slate property iu that vi cinity is mainly owned by Col. Seu boru Junes, Mr. Jus. F. Dever, Judge Loehiane, E. J. Dupree and Mr. Whitehead, of Van Wert. The new Euiiioad will be completed to the mines iu about one month, and will be through to the Selma & Rome Rail road by Christmas. At the preseut time there are about three hundred hands at woik, and the grading is nearly done. The cross-lies are most ly puivli std, and everything is mov ing forward rapidly. Fourteeu miles of the road is now iu operation, and doing a good business. The whole road is to be on the three foot gauge, and will doubtless prove a good pay ing investment. This is one of Mr. H. I. Kimball’s numerous enterprises.— The new village of lk>ck Mart is build ing up quite rapidly, and is destined to be a town of grent importance, as the slate men are going to put large forces at work iu the quarries us soon as the cars run to the place. We were very hospitably entertained at this place by Mrs. Cox, who keeps a good hotel, and thoroughly under stand.-. the business. W 7 heu she gets her house completed she will be as well prepared to entertain travelers as country hot. 1 we know of. The site ol the tillage is vety happily locat ed on the banks of Euhariee Creek, which furnishes nn abundance of pure swift running water. The business part of the town is rather low r and fiat, but can be easily drained; while close by, are beautiful, gently, undulating, dry uplands, that will suit exactly for residences. There is little doubt that quite a large town will grow up sjieed lly at this point. The Gibson Broth ers are about starting a newspuper here, and we will bet our bottom dol lar it will be a live, wide awake oon ceru, VAN WEKT. At this ancient village we met sever al of the old inhabitants, and found them, pretty generally, quite hospita ble and uot at all fastidious as to whom ; they would “take something” with I Among the celebrities here, we found Brig. Gen. Mat. Ware, who command ed a fume m the Confederate Army, which was jierhaiw ns efficacious ns any brigade iu the army. Gen. Ware. ! like Gen. Jackson, never paid much at ■ ten Hon to superior orders, but “run {.his own schedule,” nnd never had much trouble with his prisoners. AN ORIGINAL WHIG. f Here we found oue of uature’s own noblemen, in the person of Judge 1). D. Heslip, who is an original ’Whig ; and just oue hundred ami on yeears old! 'i’ls© Judge is oue of the found j ers of the Republic of Polk, and looks \ back with pride to that good old time when Polk was a thorough-going , Whig county. He says he went to the Democracy under protest, and only wheu the Whig party went to pieces But he says that now the ouiv chance is the Conservative Democracy of the i country. The old gentleman contin ues to read the best papers in the country, pays all his debts, and keeps a clear conscience. Whenever he feels like it, he takes a solid pint of pure corn juice that “never swam the branch,” and still he always keeps his ' head perfectly level. He is an old I fashioned primitive Baptist, nnd al- ! ways means what he says. May he j live another hundred years and remain “pert.” Van Wert is so near the De pot and slate works that it will un questionably reap much benefit from the new Railroad aud tho extensive working of the slate quarries. Leaving our old Whig friend and Gen. Ware, and the widow Cox and many other good citizens with regret, we retraced our steps toward Carters ville. Three miles from Rock Mart we came across the CAVE OF MACHPELAH, or some other wonderful cave. The entrance is directly on tha highway, j and is so small that the visitor has to “coon it” for several yards in order to get in. A stiff breeze of cool fresh air is constantly pouring forth from this aperture, and a first class chill can be realized here in a few minutes the hot test day that comes along. Burning with cariosity to explore this wonder ful curiosity, we peremptorily ordered our trusty squire, Tommy Gibson, to ‘go in.' Tommy always obeys orders, and iu the twinkling of an eye he dis appeared into tho bowels of the moun tains. He was gone so loug that we began to have apprehensions for his safety, but he finally re-appeared in a blaze of excitement at the wonders he beheld. He spok© of large and beau tiful halls and chambers, of st ilactities, and all the gorgeous paraphernalia of wonderful ancient caverns. He said there was no end to the number of ! rooms, iu fact, he declared the whole mouutaiu was hollow aud honey comb ed with apartments. He searched dil ligently for the bones of the venerable late Mrs. Sarah Abraham, but couldn’t Had nary bone. As Tommy is going to write a book about this wonderful cave we won’t give any further descrip tion, but leave the leader to wait pa tiently for the forthcoming work. Leaving ‘Machpelab’ we progressed to Curtersville with great dispatch and without further adventure. At tins thriving city we found Col. Barn net t, Stale Agricultural Lecturer, and Col. Tom Howard, oi Atlanta, talking ag riculture to u largo audience of intelli gent Bat tow fanners. Thence to At lanta in one of Joe Brown’s elegant sleeping cars, and onward home. CHOPS ON THE LINE. Wheat crop very light, almost a failure m many localities; corn good, < ottou almost a failure above Mariet ta. Clover fine, und a great deal be ing sown. This seems to be one of t he greatest and important crops in Cherokee Georgia. Large urnount of lumber, shingles, slate, &c., passing on the Cherokee R ul.oad. Country prosperous; laud high: farming stock good and plenty, in fact, we look up on this section as most highly favored in most every respect, and doubtless destined to be very thickly settled. A Goon Citizen Gone. —While read ing our noon dispatches yesterday, we were startled by noticing in the ac count of the collision on the Louisville and Nashville Road that “Dr. Jumes Thomftß, of Rome, Ga., was fatally wounded.” We supposed at first that it was Dr. Jas. D. Thomas alluded to, but found that he was in Chattooga county at present. We then supposed it must be Dr. I. A. Thomas. A little later the following dispatch was handed us, which was received at 2 o’clock, p. m. : Louisville, Ky., Sept. 8,1871. Maj. B. F. Jones Dr. Thomas was killed in a collision last night. Will send his body by express. R. M. Jones. Still later Mr. Green received a dis patch from the Superintendent of the road which settled all doubts as to the identity of the dead man. It was Dr. I. A. Thomas. His family are in Cartersville at present. Mr. Green telegraphed to them and they ordered tho body to be sent to C rtersvillf. Dr. Thomas had a large lot of New York exchange with him. They with all his other effects are safely stored in the cit y infirmary. The whole city will be shocked at the news of this sad accident. Dr. Thomas was one of our leading men and respected by all who kui w him.— Rome will feel his loss very sensibly. [Home Commercial. No nicer nor cleverer gentleman have we ever known than Dr. I. A. Thomas. Pioua and exemplary in life, honent and upright in his dealings, benevolent, kind to the poor, sympathetic in heart, charitable to ward* benevolent institutions, agreeable in conversation, hospitable and courteous at his board aud in the family circle, affection ate in all his relationships, and truly devo ted, in extraordinary degree, to bis wife and children, which was equally reciprocated by them. In the midst of life and hope, he lias been gathered to his Father’s in Heav en. His family /»nd friend* weep not as those without hope. A writer in the Athens Watchman suggests Hon. Thomas Hardemnn, of tilt J) county for gubernatorial hon ors, and says he is the choice of the people of North Georgia. A good suggest ion. etc Advertisein m t. s*.
