CORRESPONDENCE.
Li. Momtob: About 8 o’clock n. m.
on the 30th June, I boarded the beau*
tiful steamer Mary Cooper, and found
on board the accommodating and genial
Captain Phillips and his noble hearted
mate, Mr. Harris. We steamed up river
to Jenkins’ Landing but failed to get
his freight on board, the water being
about four feet ut the end of the gangs,
when we steamed out with regret. Tbo
captain turned hia prow down stream,
and made way for the lower rnn. Stop
ping a short while at Shillings’ JlltifT, ive
again set out on the placid water* of the
Oconee.
Near night we reached Clark’s Bluff.
Hero wo took on some naval stores.
Early on the morning of the 31st, we
steamed downriver; minor stops brought
ns, about noon, to Lumber City Bridge.
Here we found a busy crowd, some un
j loading steamers, some cars, nil merry
■ and jovial, lb-re I made the nequain
; tanee of that noble steamboat king Capt.
i Day, ns genial a spiritasfjod’ssnn shines
on. Ho has two steamers plying to this
point, tlio Cooper, and the Ida. Ko
markable to know, not a word of grum
bling is heard from a single one of the
crew, each and every one seems perfectly
satisfied and contented. In this connec
tion I should like to say tout Capt, Day
has perfected a little machine with which
lie can, w ith 20 tlm. of steam, raise six
barrels of rosin front the dock to the
wharf per minute, and unload a cargo in
a few hours that would occupy 8 or 10
deck hands 10 or 12 hours.
On Saturday 3rd July I intended vis
iting Hon. John D. McLeod but learned
thntlio was away on a short tour, visiting
friends at a picnic at the old lake, I
learned while here that in all probability
there would lie a scrub raco for senator
in this district.
The Ocmulgeo is on a boom and Mr.
Gilley’s vegctablegardcii near the bridge,
is under water. Melons are flouting
around on the muddy flood and, nt least
for the present, are free from tin- ravages
of the average thief.
My object in making the, trip was a
little fishing excursion in the Little Oe
mulgoo, lmt ulus! Man proposes, but
God disposes, nml I believe I could have
done better business fishing in the city
than in the river, for a fine porch was
caught near Mr. Huso's store, in a small
ditch,
News reached Lumber City on the
7th July that Gordon ha l cooked A. O'*
Ihicou, and no doubt will he the next
Governor of Georgia; and from reports
received nt the same time Crisp is far
ahead of McArthur for congress, about
which I care nothing, (live uio an an
gle worm and a fish rod, and the Gover
nors and Congressmen may smoko and
drink as much a* they please. Accord
ing to rub's laid down for correspondents
I lnivo avoided general personalities,
personal generalities, aud geueral per
sonal realities.

The storms that pas-ed through thi'
section on the 2Gth and the 30‘h of Jum
did ciMisiderable damage t < tin- farmers,
unroofing houses, blowing down fences,
shade trees, corn Ac ,*Xo lives were lost,
but the people wore badly frightened.
Oue eld gen tic man who went to remove
his mule from where it was hitched, was
so badly frightened thathe tied his scared
runic to the arm of a lady who was stand
ing near him. It is well the mule did
not get ready to go home before the
lady could release hersclL
The peach aud melon crops are a fail
ure iu this section.
We ere having very much sickness in
this part of the county. Dr. J. L. Mob
ley is continually on the go, visiting the |
sick. We helped to bury little Ltira
Clifton, granddaughter of Mr. Hiram
Gibbs, las’- Sunday. She died verysud- j
deuly.
We are once more having fair weather.
The continued rains have caused a long
freshet in the Altamaba river. The wa
| ter is now subsiding a little. This fresh
et lias ruined a considerable quantity of
corn and cotton that was planted in the
Altamaba swamps,
We are glad the new mail route, from
Lumber City to Mt. Vernon has started
1 up, for the Monitor is generally a week
i old when we get it, but now we can get
it tho day after it leaves the press,
i Many claim that they have not bo n
! taking the Monitor because they could
i not get it sooner than a wc-ek from its
; date. Fellow citizens, you can get your
' paper now at this office the day after it
is printed Ho come forward aud sub
; sribo for the Monitor, your home paper.
Iti-v. Joseph M. Smith begins a pro
-1 traded meeting to-day at Wax Hill,
1 which we hope will benefit the- people
very much. Wo think he xvill not have
much trouble to get up a revival there,
for tbo people were considerably worked
op by the storm.
Wi aro glad that Rough-aml-Ready’e
Washer and Bleacher is such a success,
for now the old fellow can have some
rest when wash day comes. Ho will only
have to bring wood enough to keep the
pot boiling, anil the waster does tin
washing. I- H. Hall.
Mcßride,
We regret very much that the so
< ;i!k".l picnic that is to take [ lace hen
j til-morrow is being turned : uto a danc
! inor frolic, from the look of an erecting
dancing platform, which will keep away
at least some of ns “weak saints,” who
were anxious to attend tlio “hie.” No
one can pc: unde ns to believo that w«
can “walk on coals of tiro and not br
immed." Many will come from afar
not knowing tho fact, which truly sad
dens our grief.
Wo rejoice, however, in the belief that
no one near this pluco would allow any
thing of the kind at their homes, and
will say, further, that if those young
men \vlu> aro erecting tlm piattorm "at
their own doors, knew for whom sue!
•Liiiigs were erected in oar city parks, 1
don't think this one would have dcsoera
| ted oar little town. May the good Lord
impress upon those young men that t' --\
wore thomsnlvos made for higher an-
Tioblor purposes. Wo would cull on tai
‘ ‘strou.';” saints, who sav that tlior-o i
no harm in the like, to read xiv—xv
chaps. Romans. Wc think it. ; a po-n
live siti, for it is degrading, to say '.ln
least of it. “Time for all things." Tin
Bible don’t say so. It says to all idlings.
But, iu all onudor, does anybody 'oclievi
there is a time to sin? Again, show me
from the Scriptures, where there is any
nllowiinoo for young folks’ “wild oats. ’
Wo confess wo have never been able t<
find it, and we doubt the ability of any
one to do so.
Our coming election w ill soon bo nt
hand, and how is old Montgomery going
to vote? By rings? Then say no mort
about Atlanta Rings, nor any other.—
Now, I : m not opposed to parties, but
forever again- 1 “log-rolling" or 1 a gain
and sale of votes. I was told, when I
mime to this country, that certain per
sons had indirect claims on me for ray
vote, because they had always voted foi
my fatlior-iu-1 iw. Now, this romi id.-
me of a man who says that ex-Gov. raor
Colqnit i* an ungrateful wretch, because
be helped him to steal hia wife, and
when lie asked him for the office of Li
brarian, ho gave tlio appointment to
some one else- I hail tho day when the
office will seek tho man, anil not the
inau the office. Is it good polity to vote
for tho man, simply because he ap
ported yon? By no tnoaus. He ought
to be every whit qualified. Let u* lay
aside personalties aud seek qualification
in every particular. The question is not
whether a candidate is qualified, but did
ho vote with ns. or for ns? No wonder
there aro complaints about tho officials
|of the government, when we aro a cor
rupt with our suffrage. More anon, on
this subject. Boron- A -Ready.

Dear Sir:
By request of Mr. Smith I write you
| this rote ! iuform you that the Monitor
: did i ich t’.iis office last week. Though
lit d:u rot arrive t. day it ought to.
; owing to tho failure of the mail ruler
i in giving us tho pouch in which the
Monitor was as I guess ho was under the
! impression it was a through pouch, aud
i therefore it did not reach this office till
it went through to 1 umber City and
came back. Hope you will explain Hie
matter la your next-issue to your sub

Editor Montoomghy Monitor: —ln
reference to an editorial of last week,
regarding the mails from this place to
Mt. Vernon, I will make the following
reply.
I went, myself, to Bell's] Ferry with
the mail, and sent the citizens from
this place whom you refer to, and could
liavo crossed the river, lint the ferryman
told me it was very doubtful if I could
•ross again in the evening. Ho I sent a
note by the private citizens to a driver I
had on that side of the river, to meet me
the next day at Bell’s Ferry. I have en
inircd of several good men on this route
uid they all say I did best. lam now
going seven miles out of my way, every
lay, to accommodate the people on that
ddo of the river. The route calls for
Cheney’s Ferry, and while that is im
oa-sitde I have a lawful excuse, if the
mail does not go, but I know it is a
(rent inconvenience to you all, therefore
1 drive the extra seven miles for your
good, and not that I get a cent for it. I
mi m hope that the route will run wifh
>ut any trouble, ns I am sure that I will
In the very best that can be dene, and
vhen the river cun bo crossed you may
iook for the mail, for it will be there if
nothing bad happens.
Hoping *o give the Monitor and the
people on that side of the river entire.
latisfaefion, I am, very respectfully,
W. J. Strickland.
|Wo remark, in connection with the
ibove, that wo have 6otre remarks to
make upon the matter, but wo think
•utire jm-tiec to Mr. Strickland would
suggest that the public should remain,
under the impression • that
his letter makes, as it did under that
created by our article of which he com
plains. Hence wo defer our eonimcuts
until next week.—Ed.]

Rev. A. W. Stanford, who has been a
member of the Baptist church since
1831, hut for the past G years has born a
hard student of works of the Sweden borg
on the Bible, and has embraced that form
;of worship, and will introduce it in the
i county from nyjw-*he is now loose

From Lothair.
Now and then iu the course of human
events things will occur, that call to
memory pleasant recollections of the
past. For instance, the blowing of
Items, the bawling of dogs, the firing or
'gnus Ac., remind us cf divs that have
gone when vast herds of aui
] mills, domestic and wild, of the biped,;
and quadrupl'd kind,roamed over the ex
tensive forest iu pursuit of their prey,
| unmolested, by any except an occasional
Nimrod, whose chief delight, and only
occupation, was in sporting. I have of
ten wished that I could have been a
m mber of that wonderful family, whose
chivalrous do- -1* rendered them i niui or -
! tal, and thrilled posterity with animated i
desires. But I have thought, long since
that they, whose fame had acquired such
historical notoriety, had became totally
; extinct, and not until witbin the last two
weeks have I been convinced, that there
’ was yet remaining, some of those noble
chieftains, whose scientific skill carried
before them inflexible destruction. But
i a few are left, and a club of six lias been
! organized in Lothair, and gaining is once
: more an object of pursuit. These are
; .Tint, Elbe, Lige, Sam, Archie and Tol
lard. To them we are under mere obli
! gations than words are adequate to ex
• press, for one more mess of venison. I
; know they did Dot intend to make me
sick, but I got sick all the same. The
venison however is gone and lam well
again. Thanks boys, thanks. Long
may your company live and flourish.
That is all, now, only Joe Poop, tried to
steal the Judge’s watermelons before they
were even ripe. Dubbs,
