CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 1, 1883.
THROUGH GEORGIA.
An Ex-Confederate’s Talk With Gen
eral Johnston and General Sherman.
From Oar Day, N. Y.]
It is a singular coincidence that I had
the pleasure of Geueral J. E. Johnston’s
company on his tirst trip after the war by
daylight over the Western and Atlantic
Railroad,north Georgia,and subsequently
of General Sherman’s over the same road.
Although fifteen years had elapsed, Gen
eral Johnston pointed out the locations of
the different commands under him, and
appeared to remember the exact situation
ot hills, valleys and ravines as vividly as
if he had been raised among them. J’hese
places were all noted and commented up
on as a fast train sped over bridges and
around the scores of hills by its crooked
line, whereas his former points of observa
tion were more from the wagon roads.
Not since I had a chat with his en
gineer, Lieutenant Buchanan, to whom
he refers in his book as that ‘‘very intel
ligent officer.” He told me how anxious
he some times was when quick move
ments were necessary, and the command
ing officer would take his opinion simply
of distance, etc.,and so move the army.
General Sherman did not recall the terri
tory so clearly, but he illustrated the care
for his men by pointing out the place, at
Chieamauga station, wnere a negro man
stopping to look at the soldiers pass, re
moved an axe from his shoulder and
rested it on a gun which lay in the mud,
and that it caused the gun to fire,wound
ing two of his men. At Graysville he
pointed to an old stone mill building,say
ing an Englishman made sabres for the
confederates there. The statement was
amusing, for, although war material was
made there by an Englishman, as stated,
(Mr. John Gray, lor whom the place w as
named), instead of “sabres” they were
“Joe Brown’s pikes,” such as was used
in the dark ages, before gunpowder was
made. The manufacture of such material
was of uo more value than the dirks car
ried in the early part of the war, and
there has been an enoneous opinion
about them. There was not the blood
thirsty sentiment as has been charged but
the guns were poor and every conceivable
precaution was taken in defense of home.
When 1 mentioned my journey with
Johnston to Sherman, his face lighted
with evident pleasure,and he said : “Was
he through here?” Again at Cartersville
about 200 men had gone to the station to
see the general wha had made desolate
the home of many people. There was
no demonstration, but to gratify the evi
dent desire to see him, lie appeared on
the platform of a ear. General Akerman,
formerly of Grant’s cabinet, and one or
tw’o others, shook hands with him. One
person off in the crowd said : “General,
w’e have improved a good deal since yon
was here.” “Yes,” replied Sherman,
“we left a clear field for you.” And then,
as the train was moving off,he remarked.
“I see you have the same station but
you’ve put anew roof on it.”
Having observed that in his “Memoirs”
he could give no particulars of General
McPherson’s death, I told him Captain
Richard Beard, of Murfreesboro, Tenn.,
had told me the particulars. He was in
command of the skirmish line, and wxs
himself standing near the line where it
crossed a path in the woods. The gal
lant federal officer galloped his horse
into their midst, and seeing the confed
erate officer so near him, lie tipped Ids
hat in instinctive salutation. With
equal gallantry Beard presented his
sword. McPherson turned his horse
instantly, and would have gotton away
in a few seconds, but a confederate had
taken deadly aim and he fell.
INDIAN RELICS.
For tlie Smithsonian Institute Unearth
ed Near the Chattahoochee River.
Professor Middleton, of the Smithson
ian Institute, a gentleman whose schol
arly propensity for investigating Indian
mounds to secure historical relics recent
ly brought him to Atlanta, went out to
the plantation of Mr. James Carlton last
Monday and made an exploration of the
mound near the Chattahoochee river.
The buried weapons of the dusky war
riors that have lain undisturbed for
countless years were laid bare before the
eyes of the “pale face” man, before
whom the dusky men of the forest have
now almost completely disappeared in
the onward march of civilization.
Tomahawks, pottery, beads and skulls
were exhumed, all of which furnished a
valuable acquisition to the historical mu
seum of this celebrated institution. The
skulls are supposed to be those of the
tribe onee inhabiting the section south
of the Appalachian chain in the days of
the primeval North American Indian.
Pottery of rude and quaint designs,
and other relics of considerable interest,
which were intended by the duskj sex
ton to accompany the march of the fal
len brave to the happy hunting grounds,
have in the course of time found a place
in the collections of the people whom
fate decree should live upon the land the
Indian once loved as his own.
Professor Middleton, who is well
known in Atlanta, left yesterday for
Washington. He is a scientist of deep
learning, and his love for historic re
search renders him peculiarly fitted for
the position he holds with the SmEhson
ian Institute. —Post Appeal, 22nd inst.
THE GAI.VESVILLE MURDER.
Arret of the Shaner Murderers—One of
the Culprits Confesses.
Two men, William Miller and Frank
Bowles, and one woman, Mrs. Sarah
Mathews, have been arrested, charged
with the murder of Jacob Shaner, who
was well known by all our citizens, be
having resided in this county for several
years. One of the accused party, Wm.
Miller, immediately after his arrest pro
ceeded to give the following jdetails as to
how the crime was perpetrated : On the
evening of the fatal 29th of January, Ja
cob Shaner, Frank Bowles and William
Miller went inro a barroom in Gainesville
and took a drink. The bar-keeper asked
whose drinks they were, when Shaner
said they were his and pulled out a hand
ful of gold and spread it out on the
counter. Bowles said they were his and
paid for them. They left Shaner, say
ing he must go home to supper, and
went otf. Bowles then said to Miller if
he would go with him that night, they
would get that gold, Miller did not con
sent at first but finally agreed to meet
Bowles at a certain place. They met at
the appointed place, and after leaving
there they met Mrs. Sarah Mathews and
had a conversation with her. She then
departed and they went on. She soon
returned and told them “it was all
right.” The plan they then adopted to
kill him was fully carried out. She en
gaged Shaner in conversation. Bowles
ran suddenly upon him and knocked him
down and Miller came forward and
helped complete the deed. —Crawfordville

To-morrow morning at 7 o’clock, Maj.
John W. Johnson, vice president of the
Georgia Pacific Railroad, Col. Fore acre,
general superintendent, and Mstf.Temple,

the principal points along tin line of the
road. Among the other places, they will
visit Anniston, Birmingham, Columbus
and Greenville. Maj. Johnson will be

Maj. Temple may return earlier. The
trip is one of general inspection. Work
on the road is progressing steadily and it
is expected that construction trains will
be able to go over the road to Anniston
by the last of this week, hut the regular
schedule will not he put on by that time.
It is the policy of the management to
build steadily and surely, and to have the
road-bed in good condition before it is
put into use. Asa result, there has been
no accident of a serious nature on the
road since it was put in operation. The
distance from Atlanta to Anniston is 103
miles; of this there have been laid 101
miles, leaving a gap of two miles, the
grading ol which is done and the steel
rails for "which have gone forward. The
road is being operated from Atlanta to a
point near Edwardsville, severity miles,
and it is expected that trains will run
through to Anniston in a very short time.
Idle bad weather has hindered the w'ork
very greatly From Anniston to the
Coosa liver Is twenty three miles, of
which twenty miles are graded and the
balance will soon lie done. The steel
rails for this twenty three miles have
been bought for March delivery. Pro
gress is' being made on the masonry of
the Coosa river bridge. This bridge will
be built ot iron, and the contract has
been let. From Coosa river to Birming
ham is forty-one miles, of which eleven,
miles have been graded, and upon the
balance of which large forces of laborers
are engaged. It is expected trains will
run through from Atlanta to Birmingham
by November 1. From Birmingham to
Columbus is 125 miles.
No work has yet been entered upon
from Birmingham west. From Colum
bus east, forty-eight miles have been laid,
and quite an amount is under contract to
be completed in April, on which the
grading is well advanced, large forces of
laborers being engaged. Steel rails for
this have been bought and have gone for
ward in part. That portion of the road
in operation, between Atlanta and Annis
ton, is provided with a sufficient equip
ment of $2,000 per mile for those 103
miles has been bought, and has gone for
ward. The contract lia.s been closed for
fourteen new-Rogers locomotives, which
will be built and delivered during the
coming summer. Rails have been pur
chased, and are now en route for the
track between Anniston and the Coosa
riyer.

What it Diphtheria?
The name i3 comparatively new, but
the disease is as old as sin itself. It is a
condition of the throat something like
croup, only worse, because it attacks the
suft'erer with such rapidity and in such a
way as to stop the air passages. The
throat is violently inflamed, and a tough
membrane, like leather, is very rapidly
formed. Perry Davis’s Pain Killer
has cured thousands of cases of diphthe-,
ria. It acts so promptly, and so effici
ently, that no family can afford to be
without it.

the benefits of his practical experience.

Atlanta was chosen as the next place
for holding the convention.
Dr. J. S. Newman, of Atlanta, deliv
ered an address on “plows and plow

G. E. Thomas, Jr., of Muscogee, in
troduced the following:
Whereas, on account of the recent
floods in Europe and in our own coun
try, there has been a rise in the price of
all grain, and there has not been a cor
responding rise in the price of cotton.
Believing it to be a duty we owe our
families of those who have suffered by
said floods and further believing that we
can thus render them more substantial
aid by so doing, therefore be it
Resolved, That each member of this
convention pledges himself to plant and
cultivate an Increased acreage in grain of
all kinds suitable for food lor man and
beast the ensuing season, and further
pledge themselves to get their neighbors
to do likewise.”
The chairman then put the motion to
adjourn sine die and it was carried.
The English people are noted for their
robust health, which it is claimed, is al
most entirely due to their diet. They
are good and substantial eaters. They
like plain, solid food, well cooked, and
do not, as a rule, variety. Meat,
vegetables and puddings are their staple
dishes, and thin soups and foreign kick
shaw’s And no favor in their eyes. They
despise alike French dishes as rich and
unwholesome, and German cookery as
coarse and unpalatable. The roast beef
of Old England is their stair of life, and
ham and eggs comes next in their good
graces. Ice water is a rarity among the
mass of the population, who look on it
almost as poison.

The name of lion. Emory Speer is not
yet withdrawn front the senate for Unit
ed States District Attorney for the North
ern District of Georgia, aud it is probable
that it will riot be withdrawn, because
such action is hardly necessary, Inasmuch
as his confirmation can simply remain
unacted upon by the senate until after
the 4th of March, at which time the legal
barrier to his confirmation will cease to
exist. Then he can be confirmed by the
senate if there is an extra session of that
body to matte confirmations, or be can
be commissioned by the president and
bold the office until the senate does meet
and acts upon 1m nomination.

A man on horseback In the rnouauins
of Virginia the other day, telt his animal
sliding down the bank on one aide of the
bridle path. As there was nothing to do
but to hang on, he did so, and, to his
amazement, found that his animal with
all four feet bunched together, was slid
ing on his haueheßdown the ice formed
by the frozen water of a spring. This
continued for a quarter of a mile, when
they reached the valley below iu safety.
They were then 13 miles, by path or
road, trom their starting point on the
mountain. The man that can without a
blush invent such a lie ns this must, like
his horse, be a terrible backslider of some
sort.
An armed force of several hundred

China, from two German frigates, and

are not permitted by the treaty. This is
the second recent occasion when German
ships of war have taken peremptory ac

of diplomatic agencies. Time was when
Uncle Sam was equally prompt in right

he had a navy then.

Yet a crew from Buffalo has been hard at

The Cincinnati Times-Star has observed
that there is a decided increase in the
amount of cotton consumed by the
mills. It concludes that much of the
increase in recent years is confined to
the south. This is a very probable con
clusion, as the spindles in the south have
increased nearly four hunded thousand
within the past two years. The Times-
Star doesn’t miss it far when it opines
that the growth of cotton manufacture
will be confined to the cotton growing
states.
