Madison, August 9.—This day, a big
one in the history of Madison, celebrated
the reunion of the gallant old Third
Georgia Regiment. The event must have
been well advertised, for from early morn
vehicles have been pouring into the city
from §rery direction bringing their cargos
of human freight. Neither distance nor
heat nor dust deters any. This great ral y
is a compliment to the Third Georgia. The
people yet !ove the old soldiers who wore
the grey and who fought for a cause yet
misrepresented by the writers of the world t
and horrid treatment of the South by the
North after the war has made sacred these
old soldiers. But it is all now merely
something dear and sacred, to be cherish
ed as we would a keepsake.
But yesterday morning the writer was in
Atlanta where the State convention had
met to elect State officers. There was in
trigue and political scheming and wire
pulling for office. The future was an in
centive to action. Young meu mostly
were there. It was a picture of the politi
cal prospective and the busy, eager present.
hast night we vere with the Third
Georgia regiment at a business meeting in
Foster’s Hall. What were they doing?
Setting on foot, by committees and other
means, every possible way of securing a
complete roster of the old regiment—to
know who were living and who dead. It
was an effort to preserve in record the
memory of other days. It was a conven
tion of old men, in which no new life js
(lowing and from which the old life is
gradually ebbing, and their talk was not of
the bright future, but of retrospections al
ready hallowed by time and rendered dear
by war’s terrible conflict.
The old Third Georgia is here in full
for for the number living. The pro
gramme for to-day wbb published in yes
terday’s Tkdeokaph. A huge barbecue
will be given to-day, and this, you know,
is no small faetor in drawing a crowd.
These Georgians are fond of barbecues and
free rides and free shows. Madison, noted
for her open-heartedness, is entertaining
hor guests most royally. The private resi
dences, all so brilliantly lighted up last
night, told the story of a liberal hospital
ity and pleasant lodgment. Yesterday
was spent.by the old vets mostly in pleas
ant chat and social intercourse. About 5
o’clock the,Home Guards marched in full
nif.rm down to the depot to greet the o'u
soldiers coming on the cars. The Guards
have a beautiful new uniform, aud made n
line impression on the vast throng.
One <jf the characters—a sui generis
tnan—of the regiment is Commodore Geo.
N. Dexter. He has been indefatigable in
his efforts to procure a complete, roster
of the regiment. A very hand
some silver sevice—of seven pieces
—has been purchased by the regl
ment and will be presented to the old com'
niodorc to day a', the stand before all the
people. Geo. N. Dexter obtained the ap
pellation commodore in not. an un
interesting manner. The Third Geor
gia had captured a vessel. It
was an elephant. The boys were not
marines. It was found out that Dexter in
his young.T days had figured a little in the
United Slates navy. Cal. Ranse Wright
pressed him into service. Dex cr managed
the vessel to very dextrouSly that he
steamed into Norfolk himself. From
thence lie was “the commodore"—and his
fame was won.
Not long after the war, when poverty
was pinching the old soldiers to lliaquick,
Dexter had a son, now living and well to
do, who got married. The commodore
ur*s of a decided religious turn of mind,
and wanted to give his boy, embarking in
sue'i a business, a family Bible. Haying
hut one lie gave that—all he bad to give.
The good people of Madison, finding liow
Dexter had parted, in the deep love of
parental affection, with that great heir
loom, hi* own family Bible, boyght him
auother, and a handsome one at that, and
so grateful ha* been the commodore that
ho has read this Bible diligently ever
since, and is now recognized in Madiioa as
a man “urghty in the Scriptures.”
Among the p eminent visitors on this
occasion isCapt. John T. Wingfield, of
W.i-..ingU.n, Ga., who was captain of the
celebrated Irvin Artillery which so dis
tinguished itself at the great battle of
Geltvshurg. The Cautaiu i* well preserv
ed. He “accepts the situation” bails no
believes' in this latter day business of
hugging Yankees and declaring them right
aud us all wrong. In short, he does not
accept the doctrine that Abraham Lincoln
was half Northern and half Southern—
the joint product of Puritan and Cavalier.
Among the old “vets” of Morgan caunty
is Ben Hume. He was living at Culpep
per Court House, Va., and was employed
by Stonewall Jackson as a guide because
of his thorough knowledge of the typo
graphy aud geography of the country.
Tin- old guide loves the name of Jackson,
and will talk of him for hours. Jackson,
ho says, did more riding, less sleeping ami
-more praying than any man in the army,
The Yankees, after the war. hunted him
to kill him, and he sought refuge here.

Caktebkviixe, August 9.—Cartenville
is beginning to show perceptible evidence
of a pr»t-c!a*« boom. In v|ie last ten days
s-veral large deals looking to the growth
of the town have been consummated. One
of these was the location of the Pratt Steel
Company furnaces and plants in our place.
Tids company proposes to erect at once
two lurnaces, a fifty-ton iron and a twenty-
toil ferro-mauganrse, the latter being the
first one of its kind in
the South The ferro manganese furna
ces of this country are operated near Pitts
burg, Pa., and are owned by the Carne.
gii r.. It is not generally known that the
supply of material to run these furnaces
are shipped from the Cartersville depot.
Sat h is the fact. There is not a day that
carload after carload is not shipper! to the
Cariicg ■». The location of these furnaces
is a source off eiuch gratis ration to our
I tropic, for the turning into money of
our material,—and it is simply
inexhaustible—brings to us an inct—ant
flow of wealth. Our mineral* are known
inm place U. — ■ - ■■ — , ,, -
thus bringing them up to a marketable
In connexion with these furnaces will
be an attendant steel plant, the Pratt pro
cess which will revolutionize the steel _in-
liustrv of the country You can imagine
the importance of this company when it is
claimed they cm put steel rails on the
market at $20 per ton and make money.
A hundred and fifty thousand dollar
rolling mill company will be organized in
Atlanta Thursday of this week. A first-
class rolling mill man has already been
employed from Pittsburg, Pa. ...
Our city fathers are lully imbued with
the spirit of progress. They have just let
out a contract for a fine system of water
works, Messrs. Jeter & Boardman, of your
city, securing the contract. Our people feel
assured by identifying such a clever set of
gentlemen as compose their association
with the interests of Cartersville that they
are largely the gainers.
The city fathers have also contracted for
gas, which will he put Jn nt once.
A Boston syndicate has bought several
acres of land near in and will proceed at
once to build several fine residences, with
all modern improvements.
Real estate is, you might say, “climb-
ing the golden stair.’’ The market is wild,
at firm figures that are rapidly ndvancing,
and it may lie safely predicted that Geor
gia can at last claim that site has n real
booming town. Georgia capital has been
largely instrumental in building up
Alabama towns, and now it has a very
fine opportunity of . investing
in a coming toxn right in
Georgia. There is no disputing the fact
that we are located in a country that justi
fies any kind of a boom. The farming in
terests are equalled only by the lands of
Illinois and Iowa. The climate is naag-
nifi ent, water first-class, a perfect sanita
rium, a feature not possessed by the ma
larial but booming districts of other sec-
tiOQo*
Cartersville is, beyond question, the
coming town of Georgia, the coming steel
making centre of the South, and it is hard
to imagine its future pro pecta. Macon
leople are lardy interested in the famous
itowah property. The property will
eventually make its owners rich. No finer
can he found in tho South, as the owners
of the property know full well.
UOOHINM VIENNA.
Evidences ot Growth and Prosperity In

lots and will move to Vienna: Mr. Wa
ters, of Brunswick: Mr. Burns, of Coch
ran; J. F. Butler. R. P. Sentell and Mr.

A Corpse Trie* to Revive.

had been confined to hia bed for several
months and his case was a peculiarly sad
one, in view of the fact that he was so far
away from home; and yet the sadness of
his condition was ameliorated as much as
was possible by the constant care and ten

A four-yeat-old negro boy near Snow, in
Dooly, struck his infant brother on the
head witli a billet of wood, knocking the
left eye entirely out, from which the child
died. It seems to have been wilful mur
der.
of which spins a large needle, suggesting a
compa-s. With this instrument, which
served the purpose of a divining rod, he •
proposed to Mr. -tokos to locate a spot on i
island where $75,000 in gold was buried i
by the famous John A. Morrill years and
years ago. He proposed that ■ party of i
"men be formed to dig for the treasure, he !
to reieivc $5,000 for his share, the three |
other uegroes who were to assist in digging '
$1,000 each and Mr. Stokes to have tbe ;
rest, fie said that his instrument had j
never failed him, and that the treasure
was there to a dead certainty. Mr. Stokes j
laughed at the idea, but the negro’s earn- j
rstness decided him to humor tbe matter. I
The agreement was duly drawn up In writ- j
ing and the three negroes {engaged in tbe j
work were Dick Stevens, Smith Calhoun j
Burrell Wall. The men to begin work at
once, and the dream interpreter proceeded
with his instrument to locate where the
digging should commence next dav.
On the edge of Mr. Stokes’s field, at the
fool of a ridge just back of the Hardy
Solomon place, the needle of the instru
ment, heretofore passive, now began to
swing around and point in a certain direc
tion. A stake was driven down as indi
cated. Another point was made and
another stake was driven, and so on until
a square oi tea feet was staked off. The
instrument placed in the centre of these
stakes caused the needle to spin around
slowly.
Tlie work was to begin early next day.
The negro told Mr. Stokes that the nearer
they approached the treasure the faster
thc'neodle would spin, aud thus they could
know how deep the treasure was buried,
lie also said that when they began dig
ging the buzzards would begin to collect in
the nearest trees, and great quantities of
blowing-fl'es would make their appear«nce.
Bright aud early next morning the party
went to work. The instrument behaved
just as the negro said it would, and the
buzzards aud blowing-flies made their ap
pearance. If Mr. Stokes and the negroes
had any doubts as to the dream
man’s ability to point out the
spot, or that the money was buried there,
all such doubts were removed that morn
ing. The deeper they went into the ground
tbe fasttr spun the needle and more flies
ppeired. '
Such news as the finding of great buried
treasure soon spread over the settlement,
and numbers of people went out to see the
work progressing. According to arrange
ment, not a word was spoken by the work
ers. Everything was done by signs. Not
one of the party was allowed to use tobac
co during the work, and it was
also agreed that one of the
party should now and then drop
on his knees and pray. They paid no at'

DIGGING FOB MUUUKLL'S GOLD.
Twiggs Count? 1'eoDl* Vvd m Orcrss A!s-
bnnin Negro*! Cranky Me hr me,
Mr. John Herring, of the lower edge of
Bibb county, was in town yesterday and
brought the new* of quite au excitement
prevailing just over the line in Twiggs.
The story is given as it was told to e re
porter:
It seems that some man in Macon had a
peculiar dream, which worried him ao
much that he decided to have it inter
preted, it suclt a tiling were possible. Iu
some accidental way he beard of a negro
living in Montgomery, Ala., who could
interpret puzzling dreitus, and he was sent
for. It is not known whether he gave the
dreamer any satisfaction, but it ia certain
that a few days ago he turned up on the
pla e of Mr. John Kp>ke« »
well-known farmer of Twiggs,
and held long and private conver
sations with him, and as far as can be fer
reted out this is tbe result: The mgro
had evidently interpreted the dream of the
Macon man, but had either given the
wrong interpretation to the men or gave
none at all, aa subsequent events show.
He possessed a certain instrument which
somewhat resembled a small candlestick
iu appearance. The base is a silver dollar
to which ia attached a silver rod on the top
who seem to feel that they are within
few feet of dirt of seventy-live thousand l
d<* lars in gold. The crowds of spectators
think that at tbe rate they are digging, I
gold or China will be reached by night, j •
