respond favorably. Unless the Presi

We spent a few dsys cl lest week iu
tbe upper portion ts the State, and will
givo our readers tbo benefit cj our cb
aervatiou, in tha* section.
We stopped in tbe famous Ci'y of
battles, Atlanta, for two days, aud not
withstanding tbe thaDgcs that have ta
ken'lace since we domiciled in that
thrifty place, fout and t sufficient number
of old frimds to cause the time to pass
off pleasaLtly—making ourself quite at
home with the gentlemanly editorial
corps of the and Daily
Opinion. Wc do not wonder at tbe
popularity of the former, since, ming
ling with the chief aud staff, hut arc
somewhat surprised that such geuial
men as Scruggs and Dumble can stum
acli tho politics of the latter.
We fouDd busiae.-s quite duli, and
business men idling arouud their doors,
i without expecting customers. Not even
i a Jew persuaded us to buy “goots so
| sheaf," but, perhaps they knew we
; Were au editor. We do not remember
' over to Lave seen Atlanta so dull as at
i present. The peofle however, are hop
j ful of speedy relief by the reheat crop,
which is quite promising in that vicini-
Jiy.
On Wednesday evening we took the
train on the State road, and through
, the courtrsy of that most excellent bu
st c b manager, J. B. Peek, who had
placed on our ticket “Admit to ladies
; car,” we soon found c|arself in a gor
geously arranged coach, glidir g aloDg
: ns smoothly and pleasantly as we could
wish On this road there arc luxuri
: ant sleeping cats, and cvctything nec
essary for comf 'it in traveling.
After a few hours of comfortable
sleep, without even dreaming of tbe
bloody battles, that marked tbe tracks
of Sherman all along this road with
desolation, we found curscif at the class
ic little mouutaiu city of Dalton. Here
it will be remembered, there was more
than one battle of considerable impor
t n e, and hero the Federal army win
tered in ’64. The small valley in
which the town is situated was bereft
of tbc noble forest which once abounded
and tbe mounds of naked dirt which
crown the summit of each sunound'eg
hillock, with the lack of aDy trees what
ever, present quite a contrast to their
apeparance, in days of old, when in
boyhood we traversed them in search of
game, as they were the aj pcartuce of
the red mau’s hunting grounds.
Here wo found business at a stand
still, but the people generally, in hop
ful anticipati in cl reaping a rich barvt st
ol greenbacks when tLe largo wheat
crop which they have reason to exfeet,
cones in. As far as our personal ob
servation extended, the prospect foi
wheat was most excellent, and we were
told there is more land planted in this
grain than is goncral'y the case in that
section.
Along that portion of the State rosd
ovar which we traveled, we found (he
people busily engaged in removing
“Sherman’s Sentinels”—naked chim
neys and crumbling walls—,Ttd rapidly
obliterating the traces of war.
Provisions.
Tbe high prices of provisions and
bread, says the National Intelligencer,
cause much anxiety in rela'ion to the
prospect of the coning crops. The re
ports generally from various portions
of the country nre favorable ns to
wheat, and the iruit crop promises
well. But corn is “the stuff' of life”
for this country, for upon its abun
dance we depend for meat, poultry,
&c. The crop of corn must greatly
exceed that of last year if provisions
arc to be lower in price ; and last year
the corn crop was estimated over a
thousand millions o[ bushels. Double
that amount would not mero than he
sufficient for our consumption at home,
to Bay notiiing of a surp’us for expor
tation.
The West can no longer rend wheat
or flour tc the Eastern cities. They
have hardly enough for their own use.
The consequence of high prices of food
as in advnr.ee in the coat of mechanical
and agricultural labor, and strikes
everywhere for higher wages. That
no great reduction in the price of
wheat is expected is shown by the tact
that growing crope, to be hurvested in
June, nave been contracted for by mil
lers in the Middle States at the price
i of three dollars per bushel.
The want of artiries for export has
caused a renewal of shipments of «old
and the five-twenties ore also remitted
in large nmo mte to pay for imported
goods. A financial disturbance in the
customs may be expected unless our
coming crops sin uid bo very large.—
Industry of every kind must he slack
ened, production diminished, and tne
revenue from interna! taxation be re
duced more than one-half for the tb-eal
year commencing op the Ist (if Ju’y
noxt, unless the {'t ice of bread and pro
visions be brought down to a reasona
ble scale.

had the p’easure ol witnessing in many j
n lor g day. The bountiful ptofu iuj

py and beautiful faces petting above
and out of their rich aud tidy gala
dresse-s, almost led me to imng.iiti I
was surreptitiously metamorphosed, in

The procession was formed at the
Musnnio Hull, and proceeded to the
M. E. Church, which was decorated
with flowers and evergreens. After
singing and prayer, the choir struck
up ’Cdebration day, 1 with Pianos nc
companynit'i.t by Miss Jane Bell, fol
lowed by an address on tho two sub
jects of Sabbath Schools and Temper
anee by Mr W. Bush, the teacher at
that pluce. Hits address was replete
with good souse nnd timely nelvice,
both to us grown up children and
those es fewer years. There sat the
little “mute inglorious Milton#” in
their ‘ shining, morning faces,” quietly,
unobtrusively and unostentatiously
taking it all in, seeming to feel the
force of Pope’s aphorism that
“A little learning is a dangerous thing,
Drink deep from the Pyeri n spring,
Small draughts intoxicate the brain,
But larger ones will sober us again.”
After thauflddress of Mr. Bush was
concluded we were a yttin enteitained
with a very appropriate song by tbe
choir. And for fear 1 forget— permit
me to say a few words, rn passant,
about that choir. It was composed of
a selection of beautiful young ladies,
headed by our friend, the utbar.e and
| belevolent Fr Mooro, wjioso broad,
| smiling and placid countenance we,li
I attested the pleasurable emotions that
thrill bis bo&tm, on occasions like the
present, when good is to be accom
plished, aud especially where a “con
sftrnation so devoutly to be w ished”
as a success in these enterprises is so
neatly accomplished as they are at
Weston.
But of the young ladies, what of
them ? “They were not violently live
ly, but stole upon the senses like a
May day breaking.” They vveresim
ply, to say tho least of them, elegant
and I would advise the boys who
want a wife, in the full acceptation of
the term to go to Weston in search of
her.
We were then highly entertained ' y
impromptu speeches by Dr. Bat mini
and t'lhers. Dr. B. talked in his fa
miliar, didactic slyle to the children of
tho Sabbath School which scorned to
have a very hajrpv effect on both pu
pi’s and parents After which music
again—and to dinner.. Thanks were
given by the Rev. Mr. Yarborough,
during which service I w as pronounc
ing a very fervent benedict’on on the
Dawson baking establishment, a fine
specimen of their art lying immediate
ly in front of me, (on w hich I kept one
eye skinned) and oa the good Indies
who had displayed so much taste in
tho pireperation of tho multiplicity of
creature comforts that lay in heaps of
rich profusibn all around. After doing
ample justice (at least on my part,) to
the feast we again returned to the
church, and our auditories soothed in
to quiet by “a concordance of sweet
sounds,” the audience was addressed
by the Rev. Mr. Yarborough of Lum
kin
He spoke of TtmperuDce as one of
the graces of religion, as a sine qua non
in society e‘c., but confined his remarks
more particularly to the Sabbath
School; the duties nnd responsibility
of parents and teachers, and of the
neighborhood generally—urged them
in tones of deep earnestness to assist
the poor classes who have not been so
fortunate ns themselves in worldly
weo’th, to come to school—to put
shoes on thtir litt'e feet and clothe
their little bodies nnd lead them up to
knowledge and io God.
The add: ess, though seemingly un
studied, with a good deal of the ofl
hand hit of the jiopular speaker, and
an air of total un oneetn as to the ap
plause of tnen, was withal, rich in
thought, rhetoric and religion, and
just such an effort, as to inspire us at
least, to wish to bear him again and
to become better acquainted with the
man.
After Mr. Y’s., address we heard
music eloquently discoursed by throats
ns mellow as the dying swan's.
How mortals >o their Maker bend,
A, though tlieir own pure spirrii, fear
A God I'm sure they ne’er offend.
A doxologv was then sung and tho
I benediction given and the crowd dis
' persed, a better and a wiser people as
; regards some very important duties.

for ten consecutive days, at some time
subsequent to the completion of the
registratian for each county, and before;

supposed cases es rnuduleut registra-1
tion may be thoroughly investigated.—
