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. Respectfully KlWr.Nl'l!!.

Seward- 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. McßrideUa., July 10th 80. | Mr D. C.

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.] Red Bluff. A tew fair days have done a heap of good, and props look much revived. We hone the damage by rain will not he ns serious as farmers thought. We had the pleasure of a hip lo Mt. Pisgah church last Sunday, and listened to a very interesting hiriorieal address, I by Prof. Hero ni H. Raid,ford. The church performed wlint they doomed to 1-e a solemn duty on Sunday, that of turning out of the church the 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 the Baptist chnrcb. Mr. Stanford is one of the best Bibical scholars in this | county, and a man of considerable abii- I ity, and we hope to see and hear a good I deal of him upon his new religion, as we I think the people waut a change, and j have for a iong tirno. B. <fc C. 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, Liquids.
