HARTET * rn. t Atlcnte,Ga VOL. Ill—NO. 33. WAS IT MAGNETISM. Ttttrait It has been asserted that Dan Ver non was the boldest and most cruel bushwhacker in Virginia during the war. When Gen. Sheridan entered the Shenandoah Valley some oF our fora gers ransacked the house occupied by Mrs. Vernon, others stole all the poul try and live stock, and when the third set came along there was a tragedy. Dan was in the Confederate ranks up the Valley, and his wife and four chil dren were left in a bad situation. They had no food In the house when hungry foragers demanded a meal, and not a live thing had been left on the farm. The woman, despairing and desperate, made a fierce personal attack on the men who had entered her bouse, and in the struggle a gun was discharged and the heavy ounce ball killed two of her children as they clung to her skirts. The foragers were no better than thieves in this instance, and had the ollicial attempt to discover their identi fy been sucCWtsful they would have re ceived just punishment. Acts that should forever curse tm* fierpetrators were of.en committed by foragers un known to officials in authority, and this was one of them. The woman left the murdered chil dren on the f.oor and (led with the others up the valley, and her footsteps had scarcely grown cold when the avenger of Iter wrongs appeared and demanded blood for. blood—and more. Dan Vernon was permitted to leave the ranks to become a destroying angel. The children were buried under a cherry tree in the yard by our men, but no hand wiped up the dark and terrible nlood stains on the farm-house floor. The husband and father, panting for vengeance, crept into the deserted hou e e three nights after the burial, and lipping his fingers into the undried blood, lie swore to rest not, but to kill and destroy as long as life was left him. I do not know what Dan Vernon w-as when 1 e left his home to become a Con federate soldier, but I do know that when he returned to it as an avenger he bad no more merev in bis heart than a tiger. We beard from him at once. A scouting parting riding up the Val ley lost its captain and two men by successive shots from a Henry rifle, and the min who fire 1 on them escaped through the woods. That night a vi leite was struck from bis horse and his throat cut. Next day a teamster was tilled. In one week's time Dan Ver non had killed thirteen men. lie left no wounded behind him. When he rired it was with deadly aim. and tlte victim went down with scarcely a cry from his lips. A refugee who came in, gave us such details of Dan as we did not know, and when it was known that he was bushwhacking our advance scouts were detailed to hunt him down. They pur sued him in vain. Knowing every acre of ground in the Valley, he not only eluded pursuit, but many of the men pursuing him never came back to us. If their bo ties were found, a bullet hole was proof that Dan Vernon had added another victim to his list. In four weeks’ time he had scored thirtv fonr victims, and foraging and scouting parties dreaded that one man more than a whole regiment of Early's army. He would murder a picket at one point luring the night, and next day bush whack a troop ten miles away, and he moved with the stealth of a tiger. No man ever gave an alarm after knowing of his presence. Well, what I set out to tell was how we captured Dan one fine day, and how singularly lie escaped. Parties were continually hunting him without suc cess, while our party one day found him without searching. About fifty of us were thrown forward one day from the picket post to anew position just deserted by the enemy. Included in this new territory was a log-house, sup posed to be deserted, but when we came to investigate we discovered a “ butternut ” curled op nod asleep on a rude bed in a corner. He ba l gone to sleep within the Confederate lines, and when he awoke the blue-coats were about and beyond him. Who the prisoner was no one seemed to care, but it was the accepted opin ion that lie was no more than a private soldier, and I was detailed to guard him until he could be sent hack to head quarters. The man betrayed no alarm when roused from sleep. As far as we could see he was unarmed, and when the boys joked him on his capture he coolly replied : “ Well, it ain't nothing to weep over, I was gifting purtv tired of this thing, anyhow.” I had a fair look at the man’s face, and I found something there to puzzle and startle me. One day I had picked up iu the camp the pfeture of a man dressed in citizen’s clothes. It seemed to he that of a farmer, but the face was one to he remembered. As I sat in the open door of the ohl house, carbine across my knees, and looked into the face of our prisoner, it came to me all at once that it was his face I bad seen ii the picture. There was a great telutufl’* in <*<iuv> particular lint vet f confidently inquired s “ Yon have votfr picture taken by “ Yes,” he replied. “ Was the case of red morocco ?” “ It was." Then the picture I bail found in camp must have been stolen from his house by foragers and afterwards thrown away. The man looked at me as if ready to answer further questions, but 1 had none to put just then. I wfiis wondering at the curious coincidence, when he sat up on his lied, looked me square in the eye, an 1 said : '• I am Dan Vernon, the bushwhack er. and I killed one of your men last night before turning in here !” “ Dan Vernon !’’ I repeated after him, Yes, It is a good joke on your comrades, who took me for a scrub sol dier.” I was so taken hr surprise that I could not utter a word. He was as cool as ice, however, and lie continued : “ It would give Sheridan great joy to string me u)) or see me shot, but my time isn't come yet. I shall be going pretty soon! ’ Now. that was pretty cool talk, con sidering that I was there to guard him and bad my carbine ready for a shot, with fifty comrades within bail, but lie went on : “ I have my rifie under the straw, and could have shot you long ago. I didn't want to, however. I feel good "natured this morning, and you need fear no harm.” “One cry from me will alarm the whole post," I managed to remark. “ Foolt! Let's hear you yell out once !'* Our eyes met. There was nothing malicious in his, hut they put a strange spell on me. His voice, too, had a strange, tender influence, and when ho asked me to toss him mv canteen of water and haversack of food 1 obeyed without the least hesitation. Ile drank from the canteen, and as he chewed away at the food lie remarked ; “ This is pretty good fare for a liun gry man. As 1 can’t stay here to eat t all I shall beg the favor of carrying the rest with me.” He was looking into my eyes, and I could not force my lips to utter u word of objection. “ I hear that Sheridan has offered a reward for me, but no one will ever earn it.” he said, ns he drank again. He was not fifteen feet from my car bine, and I was thinking how surely I could hit him, when our eyes met and he said : “No use trying! If you want to shoot me blazo away, but I tell you y'ou can’t hit me.” We looked at each other for half a minute, and I felt my carbine slipping from my grasp to the ground outside. My fingers had no strength to hold it. Dan laughed iu a dry way and said : “ Why don’t you shoot ?” “ Y'ou shall never leave this place alive !” I said in answer, but I hardly recognized my own voice. “ Pooh ! ’ lie carelessly replied, “ I am ready to leave now? I shall go out of this other door here, and you will sit right where you are !” I was looking full at him, and to save my life I couldn’t move hand or foot. Each limb felt as numb as if asleep. “ Well, old boy, good bye to you,” said I)an as lie picked up his ritle from the straw, and in another minute he was out of sight. I was sitting there, mouth open and eyes fixed on vacancy when a comrade came down from the picket-post, shook me by 7 the shoulder and cried out: “ A nice man you are, fast asleep and your prisoner gone 1” Was I asleep? No! Was it a dream ? No! But the prisoner was gone. There was talk of a court-mar tial iu my case, but it never occurred, as the prisoner was supposed to he only some common '’.johnny Reb.” Hat! it been known that rnv man was the famous bushwhacker I should have been taken out and shot for permitting him to escape. I permitted him, and yet I didn’t. I was as helpless as if without power or muscle. That night when he crept in on a picket and stab bed him to the heart I wondered if the poor victim first saw those strange, wild? magnetic eyes glaring into his to de prive him of even power to ask for mercy. How to Cook a Husband. The first tiling to be done is to catch him. Haviugdone so, the mode of cook ing him so as to make a good dish is as follows : Many a good husband is spoil ed in the cooking. Some women keep them constantly in hot water, while oth ers freeze them with conjugal coldness ; some smother them with hatred and con tention, and still others keep them in pickle all their lives. These women al ways serve them up with tongue sauce. Now, it is not to be supposed that hus bands will be tender and good if treated this way, hut they are, on the contrary, very delicious when managed as follows: HARTWELL, GA., WEDNESDAY APRIL IG, 1879. Get a large jar, culled the jar of careful ness, (which all giwwf h'nus“#ite*r have on hand), plate your hushund in it and set hint near the fire of conjugal love; let the fire he pretty Imt. especially let it be clear; above all, let the heat lie con stant : cover him over with affection : garnt-h him with the spice of pleasantry : ant! if you add kisses nhtl other confec tions’ let them be accompanied with a sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with prudence and moderation. Dress Neutly for the Children's Sake. Growing children are very critical of mother's appearance, little as they snv about it. Nobohy likes better than they to see their mother look pretty For the children’s sake it is worth while to brush up the old jewelry you allow to lie idle in its locked up box. It is worth while to spend an afternoon fixing up a box full of ruffles and collars, which are so easily manufactured out of odds and ends you allow to he wasted, and then do them up in the neatest manner. When your hardest work is over and the dinner dishes fairly cleared away, i treat yourself to a fresh dress with a neat collar or ruche, uud your best pin lat the throat. A knot of bright riblsui gives an added charm, and will please the children as well as yourself. A wide, clean apron will protect your dress when you go about your supper, and can belaid off when you sit down to tea. Hoys will not stay about the house very much at evening if mother sits down at night in her soiled morning gown, with her hair rough and untidy. A iiretfihg, complaining way is very apttogo along with that style, and there is hardly any thing besides intemperance that can make a home seem more unpleasant. “Just Heard the News.’*— Au Indig nant Countryman. llauhntviUt Viipetch. A countryman arrived in Iluwkins ville a day or two ago with his pockets and a small sack full of Mexican dol lars, which he stated were buried by himself more than thirty years ago. Having learned a few days ago that the coins had depreciated t<> eighty rents on the dollar, lie decided to unearth his treasure, carry it to town and try to dis pose of it. When he arrived in town he endeavored to dispose of the coins at the rate of one hundred cents on the dollar, and upon being refused that price for them, he stated that they cost him one hundred cents about thirty years ago, and seemed loth to give them up for less than that slim. Upon being refused two dollars worth of goods for a couple of coins, lie sai'li " Ain’t I played thun der burying money." He made inqui ries in regard to ifie price of gold, and when assured that a gold dollar would always be worth one hundred cents, he said, “ I dunlin, I thought the same thing about Mexican dollars, but now the (i—n things have hn’sted.” The coins exhibited by the indignant coun tryman were mouldy, and he stated they “ had just been dug up.” How a Dakota Judge Keeps Order. Yankton Prtttt and Dakotian. Mr. Webster’s attorney (risingand ad dressing the attorney for the other side) —“ I call you a coward and a liar.” The Court —“ Sit down, sir!" Mr. Webster’s attorney —“ lie is a coward and a liar." The Court —“If you don't sit down and he quiet you will he sorry.” Mr. Webster's attorney —“ He is—.” In the subsequent proceedings the Court took a baud. It swiftly glided from its seat and plaied its powerful gra>p upon the coat collar of the attor ney for Mr. Webster. There was a mo mentary void in the undeistanding ot that gentleman. The morning stars be gan to sing together in his ears and danc ed before his confused vision. Then he found himself outside of the building without any hat and the dusty zephyrs playing through his mustache. Parties present in the room as innocent specta tors aver that die feet of the attorney for Mr. Webster did not touch the floor after the muscles of the hand of the Court had contracted upon his collar. “ A Good Thing In a Muddy Place.” Sorthville Record.. William Fossctt, of St. Johns, Mich,, visited Northville last week for the first time in over twenty years. Mr. Fossett was one of the pioneers of Northville. More than forty years ago lie came to this place and hired out to Oupt. William Dunlap to work on his farm. He was then quite a young man. He continued to work for Mr. Dunlap eight years, With the money saved from his wages he purchased a farm in the newlv settled portion of the State, and is now the owner of a valuable improved farm in Clinton County, a few miles from St. Johns, and is in independent circum stances. For the first time in his life Mr. Fos sett saw the inside of a railway coach last week, and rode from St. Johns to Northville by the rail. When asked what he thought of that Way of travel ing he said' he thought it was a pretty good thing in a muddy time WHOLE NO. 137. How Boggs Itan for Office. Hoggs was a.* peaceable u man atrever lived He was sober, hottest and respected. He hud never pounded Ida wife. Never took any interest in a dogfight. Had never been known to pawn some body else’s watch.- And uevef bad attempted to steal n sa\' -mill. Hoggs’ character was beyond reproach. He was a shining light in society, AH Hoggsville looked up to and hon ored him. Hut a change came, a fearful, direful change. In an evil hour Hoggs accepted the nomination for constable of his native village. Alas ! poor Bogga ! Ilis eyes wore soon opened, however. In less than a week after he was nom inated the opposition had fully and con clusively established the following ('{am aging charges against his elm meter : 1. That he was a free-lover and an infidel. 2. That he bad fed bis neighbor’s liens on poisoned corn. 3. That he bad broken bis mother-in law’sjnw bone with an iron boot-jack. | 4. That bo bad on one occasion gave a whole wagon load of watermelons to an orphan asylum. 6. That he had served a term in the ■State Prison for horse stealing. 0. That lie had set fire to his next door neighbor’s barn* merely because ho refused to lend him it hoe. 7. That because be found a button off Ms shirt, be tied bis wife to the bed post and mashed in three of her ribs with a stove poker. 8. That his chief Sunday amusements were eoek fighting and card-playing. 9. That he sold his Vote every year regularly to the highest bidder. 10. That lie wasn't fit for the place, nnvhow. These charges, althnftgl) without the slightest foundation, were rigorously be lieved bv a majority of the voters of Hoggsville. And Hoggs' political gnoee was cook ed. His chances for being elected were not worth three cents iii the dollar. W hen Boggs passed along the street his neighbors looked at him with suspi cion and crossed over on the other side. Boggs was a miserable being. The day of town meeting came on nt last, and Hoags' opponent scooped in the cnnstuhleship by a two-thirds vote. The anti-Boggs putty swept in their candidate on the tidal wave of tmpulnr itv, and poor Boggs was left perched high up on the spike-mounted picket fence of despair. Hoggs will never run for office again, not even for President. lie says it is too great a strain on the character. If he can regain the esteem of his neighbors by grubbing along in the old wav he intends to do it, and leave office seeking to people of cast iron reputation. Hoggs is just coming to his senses. Not Altogether Satisfied. A clergyman was called upon on one occasion to officiate at a colored wedding. “ Wo assure yon, sub," said the gentle manly durkey, “ (lat dis here wedding, sail, is to he much in de fashion, sab.” “ Very well, replied the clergyman, “ 1 will try to do everything in my powet to gratify the wishes of the parties." So after the dinner add dancing and supper were over, the groom's “ best man” called again on the minister and Idt him n ten dollar fee. “ I hope ev erything was as your friend desired it,” said the urbane clergyman. “ Well, sail, to tell de truf, Mr. (Johnson was n ittle disapp'iilted/' answered the groom’s man. “Why, I took my robes!” said the inin'ster. “ Yes, sail—at wasn’t dat.” “I adhered to the rubric iff the church,” “ Yes, sail; dat was all right/’ “I was punctual t*nd shook hands with the couple. What more could I do?’ “ Well, salt. Mr. Johnson kind o’ lelt hurt, you see, 'cn’se yotl didu’t salute (lc bride.” The matter of the scarcity of labor is now the absorbing question of the day in this section. Almost every farmer you meet is in need of more hands, and very many say they are planting a full crop, with the hope of getting more labor by the cotton-chopping season. Now, this is a great mistake that our farmers are making, and ere long they will realize it to their great sorrow, hut it will then he too late, for, as all know, grass grows in great haste, especially when guano is used. The free use of guano and scarc ity of labor this year, with a wet spring, as a great many are predicting, anti our section will he bankrupt again. Then the lawyers will fare well and live high, while fighting over the collection of the guano papers. All know that lawyers’ fees must he paid, hence we conclude that the farmers had better be on the lookout. We have already heard of many farmers saving that the guanos that they are using this spring is worth less. Get your witnesses ready.—llegis • *cr, Her’-y County, Ala ELBERTOW Ap ll**. I Thriving Ti*it-r*m*nCl<' Uprlnga >Lob(*IU (if the Mauley family. Atlanta Constitution. Ith tfilt. Rotstox, Ga., April t. —This place is comparatively anew onie. The first of January there were not over half a dozen people residing here—now there arc over one hundred souls. A spirit of improvement seems to pervade every one. New houses are rapidly going up, and a large trade is being developed, i Farmers have gone to work with re newed and redoubled energy, and the ontlnnk is truly onennraginw. The j vompk?t4on of the BWwrton Air-Line | lots stimulated this entire section from Klberton, twenty miles distant, to Toe | i-oa, t hirty -one miles distant. The fit hire of Roys’.on is bright, as there ia j no healthier location in N, E. Georgia. I One mile west of here are the celebra ted Franklin Springs, in Franklin I county. Here are two bold springs, I not more than ten feet apart, one wholly impregnated With iron and the [other with sulphur. 'Die? both par* take of uhalybeate. For nearly half a century parties have visited these springs, tlie waters of which are bene ficial in yellow jaundice, erysipelas and other skin diseases. Mr. Holland, of Fair Fbtv, M. C., lias been a regular summer visitor here for the past ten years and cair testify to the curative power of the waters. Mr. Bonds, an old citizen of the enmity,is the princi pal owner, and resides there with his family all the year round. Ho law a number of cottages ami can comforta bly accommodate from 100 to 125 guests. Mrs. Bonds is an old-fash ton ed lady and superintends her own cook ing. Her tried chicken, biscuits, bat ter-cakes and entice are of the very best, and would soon fatten 11am, of the Gainesville Eagle, or old man lien son, of the Hartwell Sun. The tem perature nt these springs is remarka bly coo! in the sdmpyer time, and be tween the springs an l Hartwell, a dis tance of ten miles, there is a difference any hot day of from 4 to 5 degrees, tt springs being that much cooler. The famous Manley family reside near the springs, Some of them now living are about 120 years old, with children around them nearly 100 years old. Six miles front Franklin Springs are the noted Madison Springs, which, up to 1801, was the most frequented sum mer resort in the State. The hotel wan burned down about that time and the. road to Athens. 20 miles distant, so rough that it barred tlret rebuilding of the hotel, lleilcc, since that time it lias not been visited by many. One hundred years ago the list of arrivals •it Madison Springs was published in the Augusta and Savannah papers. A largo influx of summer visitors are confidently looked for this season, and soon will the “old times” come again to these health-giving resorts. St. (Ir.onoE. Rer. Henry Maid Beecher on Adam’s Fall* JPV#m Sermon in Plymouth Church. “ I did not lose anything in Adam's fall," said Mr. Beecher on Sunday morning, “ I was not there ; I did not lull; my will was not in him. It is the veiy extravagance of insanity, the metaphysics of tho lunatic asylum to say that I had anything to do with Adam. Let Adam take care of him self. Hut it is said : * I)o no not in herit the sins of our fathers?' Yes— (hesitatingly)—but if you put a dropof poison into Boston Bay and let it How out through the North and South At lantics and around the Cape of Good Hope and up to the Bay of Bengal, I think by that time the |xrison would he washed out pretty thoroughly, and any sin that I committed four thousand years ago has by this time grown pretty hin. That mankind, without excep tion, are low born and low bred, that all need to be quickened* and that too hy a supernal power, is true ; that they need development and education is true; that without such development and education man is but an animal is true. The whole human family are horn at zero, and they have got to go up by successive stages socially, intel lectually, morally and Dually spiritual ly ; that is the problem of life, the method of creation. Men are not born as animals are ; between the egg and the dove there is only the thickness of the dove's wings, and it reaches matu rity in a few days; a fly comes to ma turity in a minute. Man, on the con trary-, begins very low and progresses but slowly. It is true that in this state men are empty of holiness; but I was not born any more empty of ho liness than I was empty of arithmetic ; I was empty of everything except my mother's milk. My business was to fill up, and that is everybody’s busi ness.
