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. And now behoM KEN N AW MOUNTA IN that looked down on the most protract ed and bloody struggle of all this cam paign. There it is, in advance of us, and now at our right, to\Vering up 700 feet above the surrounding region a mighty and indestructible monument to the soldiers who gave their lives for their country on its declivities and are buried in the cemetery at Marietta, only a short distance from its foot. On we go and soon cross the historic CHATTAHOOCHEE, and the plains beyond, which were so long the home of war and bloodshed, and at last enter Atlanta, not unworthi ly called the Queen City ol the South— the city so thoroughly destroyed twenty five years ago and uow so thoroughly and beautifully rebuilt. It will please you to know that among the newest and finest of these buildings is that of the Atlanta Y. M. C, A. This is the headqurrters of another army also composed of young men who are engag ed in another Atlanta campaign. They would take that city for Christ as you would fain take Peoria, and both them and you may be well inspired for that better conflict by the examples of cour age, fortitude and endurance set by those who fought for their country Politeness iu an Arizona Sanctum. Arizona Kicker. 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 auction bill into “pi'’ as we fell, but we have no grudge to satisfy. The Colonel could do no less and we are thankful that he did We shall be pleased to see him eguiu, In Memoriam. 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. lack Thy due from one who loved thee —“dust to dust.” Ford, Ga.
