With a stovepipe hat no less shinny than his eyes, and a swal low-tail coat of cloth he seemed just to have sprung from the bandbox of polite plantation days. “I’se much a bleege, sail,” he said, as when we had got into the country I held out a cigar; “I’se much a-bleege, but I uebber smokes befoah gemmen; no, sah. praise de Lawd I diden fotch up in a place like dat yo’ see, sah, ober dere.” “That nice old lWftse, with the man sitting under the oaks?” “Yessah; dat man dare had mo’an six hundreds slabes, but de Yankees eotched ‘im on one ob dem oaks. He passed frude Red Sea, he did.” While Jack dwelt upon the war trials of the planter, who seemed to be a typical baron of the south's past we moved along the grove of oaks and trotting a- mile beyond, drew sharply up at the base of the battle, scarred mountain for the summit of which we had set out.

Nor were these marked parts of the landscape long in our eyes. All the stretch of land from the rocks at our feet to the far sky line iu the west was the field ofa whole months combat where in a score of men lell between every two strokes of the clock —a place of hot manoeuvres with constant clash of arms of continuous skirmish, of ceaseless crack of rifle and scream of 9hell, Each acre of ground between us and New Hope's forests, indistin guishable at their distance oftwenty miles belongs to the battle-field Dim iu the south rise the spires of of Atlanta, as they appeared io Sher man when he stood here gazing at the goal of his three grand armies, while just at the edge of Marietta,so near that, we can count tombstones uutil I tire, is a green hillside dot ted with the graves of more tliau ten thousand dead. TWENTY MILES OF BATTLE GROUND. It was not long after sunrise the next day that we started on a long drive through this famous stretch of battle fields. At Culp’s Place we found such evidences of the hot fight there as earthworks and chip ped trees. Near towns as populous as Marietta, war relics quickly disap pear,and even iu timbered sections the darkeys have scraped up most of the lead. At a debating society in Geor gia not long ago a question before the members was’ “Am fire most useful dan iron?’’ It is said that the champions of fire were about to car ry the day wheu?an old Solomon scat tered them as though with a bomb shell by the remark: “Hole*on dar‘ Ef hit hadeu‘ been fokes would’er been lickin’ nigger’s yit!’’ And the old,fellow|miglit have added t at If it had not oeen for the iron agkl lead left on the battle-fields maßy persons, white as well as black, uv mg in their impoverished vicinities kayo fared worse than Ij^ey ENDLESS LINES OF EARTHWORKS. While such uncanny things as the skull and cross-bones no longer bleach at Culp’s nor by the side of the Dallas road to new Hope chureli whither we drove that day, they are sometimes in ravines, as well as in untilled fields. lines of earthworks extend for about twenty five miles, from Kennesaw to Dallas and beyond. When Sherman would strategist would settle down behind anew line. A witty girl once said that all men are like lobsters—break a lobster's claw and another will sprout; break a man’s heart on the the hack piazza at night wliem the romantic *ar looks down, and it heals again for breakfast. So too, Johnston could mend his his claw and his eathworks. These fortifications were seen their undiminished strength when r after passing the foothills of Lost Mountain, which seeing that it has such a name, mast be the Charlie Ross of rocks, left the Dallas road and came out of the woods at New HopAchureh. sad havoc at new hope. It is likely that belweeu 75,000 and 100,000 men, who were minute parts of tht vast armie* that con fronted each other at tnis famous church, are yet living, and if they can recall country around looked like then, they have in mind a clear idea of what the place looks like new. Few changes about. After the Baptists who had been accustomed to gather at the meeting house looked in vain for their church Even the founda tion stones had been torn up for use in the earrhworks that still stand a* high as one’s neck within ten feet of the new building. Every plank had been as though by Satan himself, clear away. But the Chris tian fights a great fight- The New Hope congregation met one Sunday on the spot where their church had stood. They kneltamid ashes,and shal say that the prayer then sent up by the good preacher did not go higher than the stars? Getting up from their kness they built a house with oak limbs and cedar branches and under the arbor they met for years. Now a small frame building, paid for this very year, is the church of New Hope. It hrs takeu the con gregation just eighteen years to re coyer from the blow the myriad blackimps, riding in Sherman’s sul phur gave it. QUEER THINGS FOR A CHURCn YARD It would be easy to dwell to the length of a column in the Times up on the battle field objects that are within sound of the signing and the hallelujahs. Around the church are oak, pme and black-jack trees cut by bullets. A few paces from the church door are rifle pits, now paw ed deeper by the horses that bring their masters hither on Sundays,and just across the road is a fort of white clay soil and overgrown with smart-weed. Not less notable is the graveyard with some of the mounds housed iu‘ through which runs the ever present line of earthworks. The occupants of this graveyerd were by no means as jolly as three boys whom I met a little later. While Boxer slept in the buggy the boys took me to the slope now covered with bushes, where Hooker made his fierce charges, as well as to the place where the countercharges of the en emy occurred. We picked up bul lets, fouud a shell, examined a lusty carteen,|and visited a dark corner of a black-jack woods where the skele ton toes of a soldier sticks from thw soi. Similar sights came lip at a Pickett’s mill at the other end of the battle field, and having seen them Boxer whipped his horses iuto Dal las _ In passing over the same ground on the following day being then bound back to Kennesaw. and Mar~ ietta, by way ofGilgal church, I no ticed that the armies left Egyptian elovor at New Hope, as they did at Rosacea. The New Hope farmer prizes the plant also, and he regard* it is a sort of recompense made bv Providence for the destruction of the church. The retu n ride by Gllgal had in it little of interest, ex pt a good view of Pine Jnountain. up the northern side of which we drove. If Boxer could have pointed out the spot where fell General his church and a brother of a president of the United States, I should have gone to it, but Boxer was honest e nough to eonfess that he did not know where to find the place. One of the cannon balls sent by Thomas killed the fighting bishop as he stood talking with Hardee near th e mountain top. So, too, when further along we would have visited the place where General llarker an Dan McCook got their death wounds but none save comrades may indicate where they lost their lives. RED FLOWERS ON KENNESAw’s OREST. Our second ascent of Kennesa w wasmade toget a good bye glimpse|of the ground across which we hadcome On the road Boxer passed the time in telling me how Mr. W. J. Haines had cleared a tract of sixteen acies at elevation ot I,SOO feet and had succeeded m bringing np a thous and peach trees in the way they should grow. Ho showed, me more over, after we had passed the orchard millions of cypres yines,. which plantjwas not known on the moun tain before Johnston’s men occupied it, and said that in July the whole crest is in crimson with thejlittle red cypress flower. In fact, I was so in terested in this duplicate wonder of the clover story that not until we had gained the summit did I notice a thunder-sloi m swiftly approaching from the west. The sky had been dark clouds all day, but the new cloud bearing so close down upon us that it looked as though it would en velop our heads, was like an im mousestrip torn from the smutty cur tains of Pluto’s darkest chamber. HEAVEN'S ARTILLERY ON KENNESAW. ear-spliting crack of God’s own gieat guns came, fast and hard upon auother, 1 couul not help let ting lancy fly to the days when the mock thunder of Sherman’s cannon roared against this same stro igliold. Then, throughout the hot time when Sherman had his hand on Jouston’s throat here, the parapets flashed in lines of red, the earth shook under close recoil and battle-clouds in sul phurous folds swathed the green. But now forks and streaks and zig zags of white fire dance among the the rocks or fall in belts to the low lands. whence roll deafening booms reverberating up and down the sky. “See. heah, honey/’ protested old Jack, edging up and pointing to the western slope, where the rain had be gun to roar like the rush of a cata ract, “ain’t we gwiue to git out-en dis?'’ “Oh, it’ll pass over. You said there were mauy things yet to see up here.” j . “Bress yer soul, Jioley, dar ain’t nuffin rnflali up hm—wo, sMd|bit all,” continued the old man, had changed his tune from that of an rour before. In spite of storm about to burst I thouait of one Jiin Duke, a scapegrace dkey, known in wes. tern as the biggest ras cal out of jail,once likewise changed his tune in a manner entire ly worthy ot Falstaff Duke, being a rogue himself, thought everyone else a rogue. Going into a store one day fo buy a plug of tobacco Duke pniletMrom his pocket a purse which contaiimd a handful of dimes.. As the purijp* upside down the clasp gave way and outldropped the. coin in a silyer shower, scattering from one end of the room to the o th er, Duke stood aghast for a second and then, fearing that the present the money up, shouted: “God a mitey. gentlemen, diet’s all be honest!” So my guide 1 Boxer, lest his beaver would be ruined by the rain or lest his of a head would be split by one of the thun derbolts waltzing around, had chan ged his tu^. CHASED DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. But Inker’s plea really was not needed- The storm was on and it was lime for our heels to do quick work. We left the crest, struck dowu the mountain and with rocks rolling after us made two forty time for the halt-way place where the horses were hitched. Boxer led the way. Neither Phipps nor Arabi could have made matter time iu their fi§jM than we did wlown Kenfteaaw. AwP particularly near crack of the storm’s whip Boxer would redouble liis wild leaps, as though hit in thm back by a full grown thunderbolt His stove pipe stuck on the back of his head like a tin cup on a cucum ber, his long coat ;ails flapped at half mast horizontally Vt| the breeze and his whirling legs seeme<|t ev ery stride to measure off enough earth for a circus ring. At last we got to the buggy and as Boxe| thrust Ins stove pipe and his cloth coat un der the scat’ taking the storm bare lieadod and iu his shirt sleeves, while he unhitched he said: “Bress de Lavd, honey dat was wuss ’em a hornet’s nest or a fight at a co'n shuckin’ down on de ole Ocheccobee, G.
