Letters from Clarksville and Clayton.
[From our traveling correspondent.]
Clarksville, Cl a., Aug. 28.
Editor Journal: I have survived
the bad weather, out-lived the reputa¬
tion of Buist’s, Laudrctb’s Cross in an
Bro’*,and all other bogus garden seeds,
and bad the pleasure of reclaiming
Hourly all our customers who had
wandered oil after “strange gods.’ —
Merit, you know, generally wilts, for
it is stronger Ilian prejudice,overcomes
ignorance, and carries with ii a power
that U irresistable. This is why I).
M. Ferry & Co’s standard seeds are to¬
day at the head, and yearly gaining
popularity with the planters.
But I started to tell you something
cl«c.
Last week I was traveling along in
Gwinnett county, between Stone
Mountain and Lawrcnccville, when 1
enino to a small stream^ which no one
hud crossed since the rains, and judg¬
ing from what I saw I took it to be a
ilrsl-ratc bad place.
I had put on a clean shirt, new tie
and had mv shoes shined tip to go in¬
to Lawrcnccville, where wo had eight
boxes of seeds, and expected to collect
at least $100, and it look a
iug place than that to stop* me.
Eticoimttriiig mv horse with a two
dollar whip, we resumed our journey,
Two minutes later you ought to have
been there. The water was about 8
feci deep, and if there was auv bottom
to tho quick sand my horse failed to
find it. Effort after effort carried him
further out and deeper down. Strong¬
er and more frequently did lie try, but
ail in vain. In this time I was at his
hide, had traces, ldp-straps, etc., un¬
buckled and the buggy pushed hack.
Still bo could not make it. I was not
exactly fixed up for visiting just (hen,
but I wanted to see some of the neigh
hors, so leaving tny horse to his fate
and mercy of the quick-sand, 1 trotted
off a mile and a half to get help. I
never ,V» tilingl,y Imlvc, no when I
returned (here eaino with mo two ol
tho best men on the creek. Three good
one* together, and the horse must
come. With a long-handle scoop we
removed the sand which had cement¬
ed around his legs, and began floating
and rolling him along through the
mud and water like drift-wood. Fi¬
lially avc landed him right side up
without serious damage or material
loss of time.
Now my buggy must conic. To
convince mv friends that I did not
mind tho water, I seized tho shafts
near the ends where they arc covered
with leather, ami began to pull like a
mule. Tho wheels were moving slow
Iv, but I thought a little more physi
cal exertion would help things; so I
set my whole weight against it, and to
my surprise my hands slipped off the
wet, slick leather, and I found myself
getting up and wiping tho mud and
water out ol my face, which covered
over me as I made an iinprcsson in
t-ho soft sand with my back.
My comrades on the bank didn’t
laugh—th+y yelled. I then came out
and shook myself, while they went in
and brought the vehicle to land.
While T was hitching lip, one of the
party said he knew a buggy to stand
In that place three days once, with all
tho wheels under mud and water.
The other said lie knew a fruit tree
agent to ride a mule m there three
years ago, and neither of them had
been seen since.
Having thanked my friends for their
assistance, I won! on to Lawrcnccville,
bought a pair ot dry socks, lnirrowed
an old pair of shoos, redressed, collect¬
ed $30.75, sold 10 boxes of seeds for
next season, and passed on into Hall
comity, but am uot there now. More

Auu. 27.—1 leave Georgia this*morn¬
ing; have accomplished my mission
here, and must necessarily seek new
territory. North Carolina emires m*xt.
On *ny route through north-east
Georgia I visited many places of note
nd interest.
Yesterday I w’as at Tallulah Falls,
nd *pcot the afternoon visiting Bridal
uij Falls, Ixirers' ,Itest, Garden of
deni Lovers’ Leap, Prof. Leon’s Rope
S gjS , und many other points of inter
itu A bod t 800 visitors are guests ol'
hotels, and hundreds want
to visit here, but cannot get accommo¬
dations.
One day was enough for me in a re¬
sort of this size ; but T Kiffujirweif 1 had
my “best girl” with mo like those fel¬
lows do who stay weeks at a time, we
could stroll around the mountains, go
on “Point of Inspiration,” which is
10<H) feet high, gather wild flowers by
the road side as we came down, and
then sit on “Engagement Rock” until
the ‘bell t ailed ns back for refresh¬
ments; anti thus pass the entire sum
mor as a single “Sweet Sabbath of
iiest”
The mountain rand running from
the Falls to this place is very narrow
aiid steep in some places. The route
agent u ho carries the mad •• from ial- ,
lulah to Clavion drove a balkv liorse.
and when - bad crossed the bridge
: * falls the animal refused
z
j 0 make the a“e<*ut so essential to the
«»«*«• the trip, and began to kii*k
and run barkwartl. Hie driver leap
etl from the buggy just in time to save
his life, and gazed with a sigh of relief
upon the balky horse as lie rolled down
the mountain side, a Histancc of 150
feet, breaking the buggy into many
* pieces and killing himself iustanlfy.
A gentleman who had previously
driven the horse remarked upon being
told of the misfortune—“I told that
old fellow the other day that ho would
come to some bad end.”
I, with my good steed, “Dandy,”
surmounted all obstacles, stud reached
our destination safely.
Rabun is no doubt the poorest comi¬
ty in (Georgia. The railroad running
from (’ornelia to Tallulah strikes the
edge of it,hut many of the natives never
heard a locomotive whistle blow.
Clayton, the county seat, according
to the census of 1880, is the home of
180. men, women and children, but
evidently things have fallen off con¬
siderably in the last few years. There
is a court house and a jail, which are
ordinary wood buildings; twa stores
with six or eight hundred dollar
stocks; a dilapidated old hotel, and
three sign hoards at the foot of Blue
Hidge mountain, is what is called ,
Clayton. There are two good churches
however, (Methodist and Baptist) and
those who are not engaged itvdistill¬ i
ing illicit whiskey are members of one 1
or the other,

the 17th for north Georgia, and will
be absent two or three Aveeks.
The school opened here yesterday
with 25 pupils, and the indications are

j u t he next two or three weeks,
Miss ltosa Ryals is visiting relatives

| Miss Laura Bussey, of Chauncey, is
hero looking after the comforts of her
sister Emma's little baby for a few
days.
Miss Annie Bussey, of Chauncey,
came down on Saturday and returned
Sunday.
Mr. John B. Ryals returned to Red
Bluff on Sunday.
Rev. 11. CL BrcwtOH is conducting a
I protracted meeting down at Lumber
(jity.
We regret to learn that Dr. Holmes
was burglarized and his dwelling
house burned, at McRae, last Sunday
night. Wc sympathize with the doc¬
tor, wrth whom in our limited ac¬
quaintance as a physician we are well
pleased.
Mr. George Redmond, late of Lands
berg, is hero stopping for awhile with
his brother-in-law, Mr. Frank Wilcox.
He is ^.reliable gentleman, and an ex
pcrienfced bookkeeper.
Tlie young colored man, who was
i slabbed to death by one of his own
J J coming race, on the from train Jesup, Saturday it is said night,
up was
intoxicated, and wc learn that his fa¬
ther (Iiobt. McAllister) was so drunk
that he did not know anything of
tlie killing of his son at the lime it
xvas doue.
And still some of our sensible white
citizens oppose pro hi .... bit ton. Wc all
love out* wives, mothers and sister**, if
we arc good people, and no doubt all
sane men feel strongly inclined to
throw the strong arm of his protec¬
tion arc tind them. But how can he do
it and advocate drunkenness? How
reasonable it seems to me that we
should all oppose the whiskey traffic,
and resist as much as in our power lies
the opportunities for rowdyism from
intoxication.
The inclination to riot and blood
shed in this country is evidently much
greater among the colored people when
drunk, titan among the whites, as a
class. They arc already numerous
here, and a great many of them do
nothing but idle about and gamble,
and by tire use of the intoxicating cup
are easily excited to madness,
Only a few days ago a negro chop
ped a white man's Irewd open with an
axe, near Baxley, because he ordered
him forward to work with tire balance
of the gang.
Burglars are trying their hand at
Lumber City and McRae, Our people
would do well to keep their guns
loaded and at their proper place.

A NEGILO RIOT.
Bloody Tragedy Enacted in a Georgia
Town.
Atlanta, August 27. —A bloody
riot.took place at Decalur, six miles
from Atlanta, about five o’clock tins
afternoon between whites and blacks
in which two men lost their lives and
one received a dangerous and, per¬
haps, fatal wound.
The story is a sfrrrpre one. The ne¬
groes of DeKalb county held a Sun¬
day-school celebration at Decatur to¬
day. By permission of the whites
the colored folks, to the number of
several thousand, met at the taherna
clc, a large structure in the eastern !
pat t ot Hie town. iiri While • | the ,| services .
were in progress, this afternoon, a
drunken negro named George Hub¬
bard appeared at the frrbcfnaclc with
a pistol itt Ins hand which lie flonr
is hod in a threatening manner in the
faces of the ncople. The colored man
agcfs sent for the town marshal, Mr
Tobe Ilursl, and aske X that the negro
be arrested, Mr. Hurst deputized Mr.
Tom Shivers, ex-marshal of Decatur.
to assist him in arrostlno “ Ilnbh iiil r
, oecause a , large nttinbc.’ , ot boisterous- .
IV *ii drunken negroes were on live shreet«
T.»'officers r wo!!r,o,auc.no,
u
and after a struggle, in which Hub
bard tried to use both his knife and
the pistol on litem, they succeeded in
disarming him and started for the
calaboose with their prisoner. On the
way a large crowd of negro men
8wept down upon the officer* and ros
cued Hubbard,
Marshal Hurst then got out a war- j
rant for Hubbard, and, accompanied
by Mr. Shivers, SheriII Henry Austin |
and Bailiff Rogers, started out to the j
'
ball grounds where they learned llub
bard bad gone, to re-arrest him.
They overtook a crowd of negroes on (
Hie railroad, and seein ,r Hubbard !
them, •
among started for him. A . j
number of negroes ^ •' forked out their 1
pistols and begun firing upon the olfi
cers, who at once returned the fire j
All at oneo a negro, whose name is :
nol known, ran behind Starshal Hurst !
and i slmt i . i hint • in the left side, ..... killing j
him aliirost imstantlv. About the!
same lime Mr. Tom Shivers wsts shot
through the breast, and fell, danger
onsly wounded.- The negro who had
killed Hurst then turned his attention
to Ulieriff Austin, and a duel ensued,
the negro standing his grounds and
firing three shots in quick succession,
all ot which missed him, though he
was onJy a few paces distant. The
brave sheriff fired six shots at the ne¬
gro,-who then took to his heels, and
was afterwards found dead ru the
woods. In the melee Hubbard and
tho other ircgioes rarr off, and were
soon lost to view.
As soon as Sheriff Austin could give
attention to the dead and wounded he
organized a small posse and came to
Atlanta, having heard that Hubbard,
who live* irr llooperstown, (a negro
suburb of this place} bad come up on
the 5:30train. The town was scoured
for Ilubbard, and had he been caught
he would have died oo> the spot. The
police were notified to keep a sharp
lookout tor him, and Sheriff Austin
returned to Decatur.
When tho riot first began, Chief
Connolly was telephoned to for assist¬
ance. lie summoned officers Joint
Thompson, Nig Simpson and Janies
Buchanan and at onco went down to
Decatur as fast as horses could travel.
At midnight the party have not re¬
turned, and telephone messages from
Decatur say that Mr. Shivers is rest¬
ing easily, though seriously hurt, and
that all is quiet at Decatur.
Chief Connolly and his men have
just returned at this hour (midnight.)
Tliey report that the citizens ot Deca¬
tur, armed with shot guns,are patrol¬
ling the streets. Two rioters, Jack
Goldsmith anil Bob Hevwood, ne
grocs, have been arrested ami are
closely guarded in the Decatur jail,
and others will be caught before
morning. Chief Connolly says that
the negro who was killed by Sheriff
Austin te trot the man who murdered
Marshall Hurst. The name of flic
negro who fired the fatal shot is Jack
Pritchard ami he lives on Phchtn’s
farm near Decatur, lie has been
tracked to his home by a band of de¬
termined men, the house has been
searched ami the clothing Iks woie
when he shot Marshal Hurst has been
