[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.

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, l attended an old fashion Methodist eamp-mcctnig a few Sundays mi muon the narrow gauge running from Gainesville to Social Circle.

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.

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. J. C. 11. 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 touml. Ho went home and changed his clothes and then left Chief Con liolly says ho will bo cauklit before morning, and when caught will be hanged without delay.
