Tin* Western & Atlantic Railroad.
Peoria, (ill.) Trnnscrlpt.
No railroad in the United States has as
mu eh historic interest as this.
every mile of it, from Chattanooga to
Atlanta, front the Mountain City on the
North to the Queen City on the South, is
replete with association* connected with
the civil war, and especially with Sher
man’s “Atlanta campaign.” Sett-ingout
from the foot of Lookout mountain the
traveler is whirled past
MISSIONARY RIDGE
ever to be associated with the names of
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, McPherson,
Hooker, and others, on to Chicamanga —
“river of death.” By this prophetic
name, did not the Indians unwittingly
foreshadow the terrible slaughter along
the banks of this stream on those three
memorable days in September, 1863?
Graysville recalls two battles of lesser
note. Passing
RINGGOLD
we oass through the deep cut where Gen.
Cleburne bravely stayed Hooker’s victo
rious progress November 27, 1863, and
look up the steep sides of the ridge,
down which the confederates rolled huge
rocks that inflicted great loss upon their
assailants and threw them into confusion.
We look out at
TUNNEL HILL
to see two battle grounds, one on either
side of the tratfk, and passing through
the tunnel and then along the foot of
Pocky Face mountain to Mill creek gap,
we fly through the gorge which Gen.
Sherman found impassable.
DALTON
ulso has its battle record, while a few
miles to the southwest are Snake creek
gap, and Dug gap, which played such an
important part in that skillful flank
movement of Sherman’s which com
pelled Johnston to fall back from Mill
creek gap, evacuate Dalton and retire to
Pesaca. Westward from the road, just
north from this latter point, we see the
ridge, on the western slope of which
Johnston so skillfully disposed his forces
during that four days’ battle, and the
loss of nearly 1800 men failed to dis
lodge them, but fi-om which the Confede
rate General withdrew, when again he was
likely to be flanked and cut off from his
base of supplies by Sherman’s move
ment across the Oostanaula at Lay’s
Ferry.
CASS STATION
reminds one of the artillery duel be
tween the two armies on May, 24, 1864,
at Cassville a few miles north of the sta
tion.
And here is
ALLATOONA
and it’s pass, from which, also, Sherman
compelled Johnston to fall back and
which he afterwards fortified and made
his base of supplies. This, also, wasthe
scene of that struggle which occasioned
that communication by signal “through
the sky” and over the heads of the enemy
from the top of Kennesaw mountain,
that suggested that stirring religious ly
ric, “Hold the Fort.”
' BIG SHANTY
is a little place, but is memorable as the
station at which the locomotive known
as the “General'’ was boldly captured by
a few Federal soldiers with the intention
ot burning the bridges on the Western &
Atlantic Road, which was then in posses
sion of the Confederates and the right
arm of their strength.

If there is a more courteous gentleman
in all the West than Colonel Dubitf we
should like his address. We referred to
the Colonel the other day as an unhung
thief. It was only our way, but he took
exceptions and called at the office and
knocked us down. The blow was deliv
ered in the most genteel manner and was
not accompanied with any verbal utter
ances to shock our sensibilities. Neither
did the Colonel gouge our eyes or chew
our ears after we were down. He was
cool, calm and composed and we finely
admit that we got up with an increase of
fifty per cent, in respect for him. Our
nose was skinned and we knocked an

have no grudge to satisfy. The Colonel

Among the victims of the yellow fever
which has been mowing as grain the in
habitants of Jacksonville and vicinity,
our townsman, Lev. T. M. Smith, has
fallen. He was pastbr of the Presbyte
rian church of that fated city. Worn
and anxious from nursing a young
brother, and oppressed by the weight of
the responsibility of his position, it was
hardly to be supposed that this disease
would spare him. In a short note to a
friend in our town three weeks since, he
bore evidence of the depression conse
quent upon his situation, and asked for
news from “home” and old friends, saying
that in the “new and most trying expe
rience I now undergo it would be exceed
ingly gratifying and helpful.” The
cheering words were sent, as to a man in
a sinking ship at sea.
It is pronounced brave and noble to
face the cannon’s mouth, or to be a tar
get for the death dealing minnie ball, in
equal conflict, fighting for a native land
and love. But to stand firm in the line
of battle, with no weapon, and, despite
the natural shrinking of a young man
full of aspiration and zeal to suffer and
to do the Master’s bidding, when the foe
is treacherous, invisible, entering every
pore of the frame and every breath of
the nostril —this is to be a hero, a mar
tyr. Such was the spirit of Rev. T. M.
Smith. He had watched and waited by
the couch of a brother, and over his
stricken and suffering flock, nursing
them in danger, breathing the pestilence
laden air, shrinking before the hidden
but sure winged foe, resisting the thought
of self, never leaving off to fight the ene
my, until the poisoned missile pierced h is
life-centre. “He was faithful unto death.”
Young, brilliant in mind, firm in faith
and principle, he has won “the crown of
life.” He has been made a “pillar in the
temple of his God.” The “new name’
has been graven upon him.
In the presence of the Savior whom he
loved and served, he will go on from
grace to glory, never more to be tram
meled by the clay or faltered by limit of
development.
Mrs. F. C. Memmler.
In Memory of a Loved One.
On the night of September 17th, as
the gentle zephrvs ' made soft music
through the leafy bowers, the spirit of
Mrs. Sallie A. Owens passed over the
dark river of death, and is now with
the dear husband and children.
She was in her fifty-third year, and
had been a member of the Baptist church
some several years. Asa Christian her
life wgts exemplary and consistent. Her
trust in God was deep, and her love for
the cause of Christ ardent. Although
being deprived of the power of speech
when asked if she was willing to go she
immediately raised her hand signifying
her willingness.
The harvest was ready, the Master
came and gathered the sheaves, and to
day one more bright jewel shines re
splendant in the heavenly throng. Ere
we scarcely knew she was sick, the silver
cord was loosed, the golden band broken
and she was at rest in the arms of her
blessed Saviour.
She was by nature, education and re
ligion eminently qualified to exert a
great influence, (which she did), but her
true grace shone nowhere so conspicu
ously as iu her own home, where she
reigned a mild and loving queen.
Surrounded with every comfort of life,
yet she was humble, loving and kind to
all, forgetting seif in ministering to
others.
Two years ago our heart was crushed
and bleeding, and like the ministering
angel that she was, she came, bringing
peace, comfort and sunshine into our
darkened home. But her work of life
is over. The scenes of this life on earth
are closed with her. The curtain has
fallen for the last time and left us, her
children, relatives and numerous friends
in the gloom and darkness of death’s
sorrow and sadness. May God comfort
and sustain the dear children as He
alone can.
At rest at lst. • The busy, kindly hands
That from life’s loving duties would not rest
Are idle now, and, in soft, ruffled bands,
Lie meekly folded on her peaceful breast.
The mother heart, a gulf of love unknown,
Soundless and shoreless as her own loved sea,
The imperial will that like a rock alone
Stood in calm strength, as steadfast and as
free. •
The ready wit, whose answer never failed,
The zeal for right that spake out warm and
bold,
The glance at which pretense and shuffling
quailed.
The pitying tear that sparkled as it rolled.
The helpful deed that went before the word,
The word that came when action made it
strong.
The self-denial done to share the hoard,
The deathless hope, the love that yearned so
long.
Where now are these that fired this marble
form
And taught this pallid cheek its mantling
blush?
And where the faith that soared above life’s
storm,
And brought the word that bade the tempest
hush?
Our mother’s God, to Thee we renaer back
The soul that taught her seed in God to
trust,
And vast, kind nature, thou too slialt not.
