Three month* ■•••* ™ Si* months ‘ f? • o*e year 1)0 iViler from Voiiiis Mrs. White to her Aunt in Uuliith. Atlanta, May, 1871. Wj Hear Amt— Although you told ms , when 1 invited you to my wod ding, that I was too young to marry, and not capable of choosing a mato for life properly, and with due consid eration, I know that you now fool that I was wiser than you thought Iu se lecting dear Orlando, I have gamed a nwst affectionate and attentive hus band, and ono who has neither a fault nor a vico. Heavens ! what must a girl suffer who finds herself united to a dissipated person, neglectful of her, and disposod to sook the society of un worthy persons, who drink, smoke and do all sorts of dreadful things ! Thank Heaven , Orltmdo is perfection. To-day is my oigteonth birthday, and wo have been marriod a year.— We keep house now, and I can make pretty good pie, only the undercrust will bo damp. However, I think that must be the oven. Once I put pop permint in the pudding sauce, instead of lemon flavoring ; but then Orlando was trying to kiss me, right bofore tho girl,' who didn’t much like oitkor of us, coming into the kitchen at all. The flowers are coming up beauti fully j n the back garden. We sowed a great many seeds, but hardly ex pected so many plants. Among the most numerous is one variety with a very large loaf, that scratches one’s fingers, and don’t smell nice. I won der what it is. Orlando frightens me by talking about weeds ; but seeds al ways como up, don’t they ? Dear Orlaudo ! I como back to him again —so excellent, temperate and truo. Tell all tho girls to marry as soon as they can, if they can find a husband like mine. I have but ono trial —businosa takes him so much away from mo- A law yer must attend to business, you know; and somotimes they carry on the cases until two at night. Often and often he has to examine witnesses until half past twelve, and comes homo perfectly exhausted. And tho nasty things will smoke, so that his dear coat quite smolls of it. And as it makes him a3 ill as it does, I have to air it, and sprin kle the lining with cologne water, bo fore ho dare put it on agaiu. 1 had a terrible fright the other night—dreadful. Orlando had told me that business —I think he said it was a case of life and death—would detain him late. So I sat.up, as usu al, with a book, and did not worry un til ono o’clock. After that Iwas a lit tle anxious, I confess, and caught a cold in my bead peeping through tho up-stairs window-blinds; for, dear Aunt, it was not until three o’clock that I heard a cab driving up tho street, and saw it stop at our door. — Then I thought I should fainr, for I was sure a droadful accident had hap pened to Orlando. I ran down to open the door, and Mr. Smith, a friend of Orlando’s, who is not, I confess, very much to my taste—such a redtacod, noisy man— was just supporting my dear bey up tho steps. “Oh, what has happened ?” cried I. ‘‘Don’t bo frightened, Mrs. White,” said Mr. Smith. “Nothing at all. On ly White is a little exhausted. Appli cation to business will exhaust a man, and I thought I’d bring him home.” “All right, Bell,” said Orlando. — “Smith tells the truth, I’m exhausted.” And, dearest Aunt, ho was so much so that ho spoko quite thick, and couldn’t stand up without tottering.— Mr. Smith was kind enough to help him up stairs ; and ho laid upon tho bod so prostrated that 1 thought ho was going to die. Then I remoinbored the French brandy you gave me, in case of sicknoss. I ran to got it out. “Have a little brandy and water, dear,” I said, “Tho very thing. Smith is exhaust ed too. Give somo to Smith,” said he. And I did so reproach myself for eot having thought of it before Mr. Smith was gone. But I gave a glass to Orlando, and, under l’rovidonoe, I think it saved his life; for oh how bad he was ! “Bella,” said he, quite faltering in ais speech, “the room is going round so fast, that I can’t catch your eye. — And besides, there’s two of you, and I don’t know which is which.” I knew these wore dreadful symp toms. “Take a drink, dear,” said I, “and 111 try to wake Mary, and send for the doctor.” “No,” said he. “I’ll be all right I'3' morning. I’m all right now.— uero’s your health You’re a brick. ’ and over ho foil, fast asleop. w hy do men think so much of ffionoy making ? Is not hoalth hotter than anything else ? ,Os course, as he had laid down in his hat, I took that off first. And I Managed to divest him of his coat. — but when it came to his boots—dear e»t Aunt, did you ever take off a gen t-omnn’s boots ? probably not, as you a single lady—what a task ! How ho thoy over get thorn on ? I pulled an d pulled and pulled, and shook and " ri ggled, and gavo it up. But it not do to leave them on all j’bht; so I wont at it again, and over on the floor, and into his hat, 'hich I had put down there fora min !?■ I could have criod. And the ‘ ier came off the samo way, just as urd, and just as sudden at last. Then a soft blanket ever Orlando, and mmy sowing chair all night. Oh, bow heavily bo breathed! And I bad, as you may fancy, the most droad ful fears. Ho might havo killed him self by his over-application to busi ness, for all I know'. Tho perfect ones go first, it is said. However, imagine my delight when, at noon noxt day, ho was able to got up, eat a slice of toast and drink a cup of strong tea, and declared himsolf •much Idler, though his head achod. How happy 1 was ! I found mv self laughing ovor a little incident! that oocurrod that afternoon, as though I had never had any trouble. A la dy’s glove fell out of Orlaudo’s pock ot, and the fra gm on to of a bouquet.— The bouquet he had, of course, bought for mo, thinking to be home early, and tho glovo he found in tho street. And I protended to bo jealous, and pulled his whiskers for him. Oh, bow differently should I have felt had anything happened to my be lovod Orlando! He has not had so exhausting a day since, and, I think, sees tho folly of overwork; though, if courts will keep open so late, what can poor lawyeis do ? I think it is very inconsistent of tho Judge. I wonder whether he has a wife—moan old thing! Write to me soon. Your affection ate nioco, Bella White. P. S.—A man called yesterday and askod mo to tell Mr. White that Swig & Swallow would be glad to have that bill for Champagne—the amount SSO. I thought it was somo mistake, sinco we used none, but Orlando says it is sometimes impossible to got anything out of a witness without offering him several bottles, and that this must be ‘done at the counsel’s expense. What a shame ! How hard a life is a law yer’s. You, I know, will sympathize, dear aunt. B. W. — Ledger. Colton Figures ami Specula tions. The cotton excess footed up last Friday night 980,120 bales—th* grand total of receipts to that date being 3,- 623,373 bales, against 2,G57,962 bales at the same time last year, and a grand total of 3,154.916 bales for tho entire cotton year ending Aug. 31st, 1870. With equal receipts for tho remainder of tho current cotton year tho crop would foot up 4,094,347. With an average of 25 per cent, increase on last year’s receipts it would foot up 4,207,103 bales. Hunt’s Year Book for 1871, specul ating about the growing cotton crop very justly remarks that the crops grown in 1869 an J 1870 were exc*p t 'oaal. Both seasons were unusually favorable, and both crops bad been stimulated by high prices and extrav agant outlay iu fertilizers. Tho writer thinks that tho unusually late fall of 1870 alone added 20 to 25 por cent to tho outturn, and he hardly overstates the matter. lie adds that “in all the history of American cotton growing, the third progressively favorable sea son has never occurred.” Certainly this year, so far, shows a vary unfa vorable start for a good cotton year, nenco he argues that “a planting equal in acre to that of 1870 may put this year less than three millions of bales and the production in other countries may be simultaneously discouragod by tho prevailing low prices.” Well it is good to lighten «ur labors with a bit of hopo. “Let us live on hope, if we dio in dispair.” Fancy what fuss and feathers there will be in the cotton market noxt year, if there should bo any such deficit from this year’s product—a falling off, say, of a million to fifteen hundred thou sand bales; and yet, according to this writer’s estimate, somewhere about a million bales were added to the last cotton crop by a fall season unusually protracted, and attended with very fa vorable picking woather. Tliero w ill probably bo very sliy fighting botween producers and dealers over the next crop. The speculators who are selling for future dolivery will probably see sights. We hope that if planters make little cotton they will at least get good pu ces for it; but, then, the question a rises would they not ultimately forfeit all advantage by reverting oneo more to Western corn and meat. — Tel. Funny Talk about Babies. —We, love little babios, and love everybody i who does love babies. No man has music in his soul who don t love ba- 1 bies. Babios wero mado to bo loved, j especially girl babies, when they grow | up. A man isn’t worth a shuck who hasn't a baby, and tho samo ride ap- j plies to a woman. A baby is a spring j day in winter, and if it is healthy and . good-natured, and you ro sure it s ; yours, it is a bushel of sunshine, no , matter how cold the weather. A man , cannot be hopeless as long as he loves babies one at a time. We love babies, no matter how dirty they are. Babies are born to bo dirty. We love babies because they are babies, and because their mothers wero lovable and lovely women. Our lovd for babies is only bounded by the number of babies in the world. We ( always look for babies ; we do. We always have sorrowful feelings for mothers that have no babies and dou t ° X \Vomen always look down-hoarled ' who have no babies, and men who have no babies always gamble, and drink whiskey, and stay out at night tryin o ' to got music in their souls; but thoy can’t come it Babies are babios, and nothing can take their places.— Pianos play out and good living plays out, and beauty plays out, unless there is a baby in tho house. We ve tried it • wo know and we say there’s noth ! ins like a baby. Babios are n prolif ic subject, and we intend to talk more about babies in the future. Tribune.

TRAMI'INO FROM PJtTT,AT>ELPHIA TO SAVAN NAH. Moro than six years havo passed sinco tho surrender of tho army of the Northern Virginia, and tho last sol dier of that glorious old body has just now reached his home in the far South. Tho history of this old soldier sinco the close of tho war is by no moans lacking in .interest, and the story of tho scenes through which he has pass ed (as it has been narrated to the wri ter) shows his experience to have boon variod and exciting. There art', per haps lew men who fought oil eilh r side who could have endured the sr-t --fering, both mental and physical, which fell to the lot of this old hero, and certainly not ono who could have endured them all with greater fortitude or with a moro determined spirit. EDWARD WINXiXGHAM is‘the name of our veteran. Ho enlis ted in the Furguwn Art llcry from Savannah Georgia, and served under Lieutenant Beauregard, a brother of the General. Coming to Virginia, and put under the command of Gen eral Leo, tho company fought in all battles which marked tho history of that army. At the second battle of Manassas Winningham was shot iu the face, tho ball passing through his cheek, scattering his jaw fearfully— indeed marring the whole conforma tion of bis face. Ono by one tho poor fellow’s teeth come out, and for a'oug time his surgeon believed them to be pioces of bone; but the nature of the wound proved to the contrary after wards. Lying on the battle field, and unable through tho agony which ho suffered to get back to his friends, ho was captured, taken to Philadelphia, and PLACED IN A HOSPITAL under the charge of Dr. Wood, of the United States army. To this gentle man and his nurse the war-worn sol dier seemed to be particularly attach ed, and spoko in glowing terms of the kindness received at their hands. The surgeon, after teaming the nature of his wound, gave up the case as hope less ; but the man was determined not to die, and firm in this resolve he lived. From time to time large numbers of our prisoners were exchanged anu joined their own army, but V inr.ing liam s condition was such that Dr. Wood, deemed it prudent to retain him, anil there he icoiainod, until tlio. surrender on the 10th of April, ls : ’w, when, if he had boon able, he wou’ and havo been allowed to leave for his home on parole, as wore his comrades in the field. In tho mean time, ms WIFE, who had been unable to roach him on account of her povity, remained in Savannah until twelve months ago, whon hor heart, bent upon seeing him again, she determined the make a final effort to reach Philadelphia. Through the kindly aid of an Episcopal minis ter, of whose congregation sho was a member, tho neccsSary funds were raised and she started in search cf him finding tho hospital, she was soon wel comed by hor husband —but the joy of that meeting enn be imagined not described. There they remained—she nursing him, prying those delicate attentions which can only come from a loving woman’s hands —until. about tan days ago, whon ho determined to make the attempt to hetchn to ms N.VT4VK staif. and to those whom ho loved, in spite of his wound, which, after so long a time, was yet unhealed. But tor a ntau who had boon fed for more than two years through aquill, such a tramp seemed almost impossible. The day set apart for the commence ment of tho journey arrived, however and their first walk was to have boon to Wilmington, Del, but tho officer i of the company passed the two, free of charge, to that city. At Wilmington they were given transpotation to Bal timore, through the kindness of the Mavor of the former city. Arriving in Baltimore, the two travelers were out of funds but for from being out of spirits for they remembered too well the btato in whicli they were. In tho Monumen tal city, they were cared for by the police at ono of tho stations, and tho writer of this notice knows well tho generous spirits ot some of those men. The noxt stago of their journey was to Washington. To this cuy, too, the happy couple were sent free, through tho instrumentality of Mayor Banks, of Baltimore. And now, having been thus -ar suc cesful on his journey, and having reached THE CAPITAL OF 1 UK NATION, tho Confederate soldier thought that his chances for securing transportation from tho Quart*.master-General to his home at the c-xpenoe of tho Gov ernment quite good, and accordingly visited that functionaiy. But his an ticipations wore not realized, for (jen oral Meigs at once turned the case el ver to the Secretary of war, and direc ted Mr. Winningham to the office ot that personage. After the usual delay he was ushered into his office and tho to stated his business. But it was of no avail, for Mr. Secretary Belknap after learning that he had foug.it in tho confederate army, told tho poor soldier that tho Government could I give no such persons transportation, | and that he had “better go to his rebel friends for THEIR AID,” Lnd prehaps they would send him , homo. Leaving the office with a sad heart he was accosted by a negro who appeared to bo ou duty in some- apa- city or other. This individual & diced him how ho could oxpect the Gov ernment ho had fought against to scud him homo. To this anil other insul ting questions the soldior replied bv saving that at that place ho could not answer tho follow as he deserved, but out dde ho would cool him off effect ually ; and furthermore, ho wished for another war, that ho might teach him his place and how to keep it. Defused aid from the Government the two pilg.ims footed it from Wash ington to Alexandria the husband sore and weary and tho wife sick at heart and well nigh broken down. From Alexandria they went to Gor.lonsvillo by rail, beiunder oh!iga;.ious to tho Mayor of A wandri; for the free ride. At Gordoncv.”,', ' " IN THE HEART OF THE OLD DOMINION, he felt sure that ho could g«t a ride to I Hichmond, but ho was disapointed in learning that tliero was no oifioor there who could grant his request. So they walked to Richmond Near tho 50th mile-post the two stoppod at a farm house to rest, and hore they were hos pitably entertained: Their host was a Mr. Thompson, who kept them all night, and in the morning supplied them with everything net oessary for their comfort, and started thorn on their journey. From that point to this city they traveled without an incident worthy of note. It was on .Tuesday night last, at 9 o’clock,that the weary i raveler reached tho former Capital of tho Confederate States. They went at onee to the Sec ond Police Station, where the soldior told his story to Sorgoat Perrin, the officor in charge. Tho Sergeant being deeply interested and touched at the soldier’s history, sent to a neighbo iug restaurant and ordered for tho two a comfortable supper, of vvhio.h thoy par took with evideut relish, having had nothing to eat during tho day. A comfortable bed was prepared for them, and there they spent the r : -bt. A gentleman who chanced to bo at the station when tho two arrived, at onee entered into conversation with tho sol dior, and found from his conversation that ho was really as ho represented himsolf to be—this gentleman being familiar with Savannah, its citizens and its war history. On the following morning, (Wednes day), the stranger was provided by tho gontioman with a letter of recommen dation for aid to Mayor Keily and Jus tice White, both of whom aided him in securing him tho courtesy of free iravel to Savannah. For this he was also partly indebted to Wadm of [ Cql. Tafunas H. Wynne, President «>f tno Richmond and Petersburg Rail road. On Thursday afternoon he took tho 250 train for tho South. As tho cars moved off he returned thanks to his kind friends hero, and assured the policeman on duty there that ho was at last “all right.” Notwithstanding the horrible char acter of his wound and his almost sightless eyes, when tho days of the war wero spoken of, his whole being se3inod to be alive with the spirit of tho “lost cause,” and he seemed to ro gret nothing but the failure of tho Confederate arms.

An Irish editor congratulates him- 1 self that “half the lies told abut him ain’t true.” One of the loading papers of Abor deen Scotland, is under the control of a woman. The chariot of God’s providence run neth not upon broken wheels.—Kuth erford. A Mobile paper is indignant at a contemporary for announcing that “Mobile is tho fourth coffee, pot in the country. ” Tnvcstl ration provo 1 that “cotton port ’ was meant. Advice of an Old Lvdt.—Now, John, li3ton to mo, for I am older than you, or I coul ln’t ho your mother. Never do you marry a young woman, John, beforo you havo contrived to happen ut the houso whore she lives at least four or five times before break fast,. You sliouid know how late sho HO3 in bed iu the moraiug. You should take notice whether her com plexion is tho same iu the morning as it is in tho* evening, or whether tho wash and towel havo robbed her of her evening bloom. You should tnko caro to surprise her, so that you can see hor morning drc3s, and observe how hor hair looks when she is not expecting yiiu. If jrossiblo, you should bo where you could bear tho morning conver sation between hor and her mother i If sho is ill-natured and snappish to hor mother, so sho will bo to you, depend on it. But if you find her up and dressed neatly in the morning, with j the same countenanco tho same smilo, I tho samo noatly cornbod hair, tho same ready and pleasant answer to hor mother whicli chactorizod hor de portment in the ovoniug, and particu lar if sho is lending a hand to got tho breakfast ready in good season, she is a stunner, John, and the soonor you get hor to yourself tho better. Purity of ice. —Besides the fact that ice is lighter than water, there is another curious thing about it which persons do not know perhaps, namely its purity. A lump of ice molted will always become purely distilled wator. Whon the early navigators of the Arc tic seas got out water, they melted fragments of those vast mountains of ice called icobergs. and wero astonish ed to find it yeilded only fresh water. They thought thoy wero frozen salt water, not knowing that they were formed on tho land and is somo way launched into the soas. But if they had been right, the result would have been all tho samo. Tho fact is, tho water in freezing turns out of it all that is not watei, salt, air coloring matter, and all impurities. Frozen salt water makes fresh water ice. If you freeze a bae*n of indigo wator it will make it as pure as that made of pure rain water. When tho cold is very sudden those foreign matters have no time to cscapo, either by rais ing or sinking and are entangled with the ice, and go not fom any part of it. The best thing to give to the poor— employment. Every young doctor will get on if he only has patinnta. God hands gifts to some; whispers them to others. —Algor. Virginia made 65,000 gallons of fru : t brandy last year. An off-handed follow —ono who has loss both of his arms. Tho Dawson Journal.
