Indian Springs, Ga., Sep. 11, '82.
Editor Advertiser and Appeal:

your correspondent, drinking spring

w l,i,.|i laid peculiarity lie has, proba
bly. brouiiiit down upon himself the
ire of hi» tel!ow„flr|u^s.
The spring is a ptart rid^fi
liue of tiie extension of the M. & B.
Kiiilroad, ubont forty miles from Ma-
C0 n. Around the spring is a little
viilago of probably two hundred und
fifty inhabitants, with three hotels and
three or four stores, which is incorpo
rated under the name of McIntosh, in
honor of a famous Indian chief, who
lived and reigned at this spot fifty
years ago. McIntosh was a half-
breed, but of great sagacity and vnlor,
on which account he was made chief
of the Creek Jndi^uq, ensured con-

poiut in the years 1821 and 1826. The
place is full of historical interest. Two
rocks are now showed to visitors as
being the identical ones on which
speeches were made on these two oc
casions. Queaif^s^tewhrgitjirJ
said, McIntosh made a great speech,
is live or six feet in height and about
eight long, and occupies a very prom
im nt position in the principal street,
aud attracts much attjention. I am
astonished that' sdtno, 'adverting vtd - r ^i
dal has not, ere; thty Ornanaejited it
with the legend “Take Simmon’s Liv
er Regulator.” Near this stone stands
a building built and used by the
mig’htv McIntosh fifty years ago. It
is now used aS'Wjh ota* and is sqtatefi
tially the same us then, very few re
pairs haviug been necessary.
Through the town run two small
creels, unitiug a little belojw,' and in

lent here, and, no doubt, played greet
mja i all over Me country, particular-
the coast; but the wires being
eea hear nothing. The heavy rein
fall greatly augmented the two creeks
alluded to above, and transformed
them into bold streams. The spring;
being just on the borders of the valley
'through, whioh one of the creeks
overflowed to a depth of.
at least, two feet, and it was not until
late in the afternoon of Sunday that
we wen* emibled to get onr accus
tomed quarter-hourly drink. The
other creek has, just in the centre of
j >° to tad of about
fifteen feet, in a very short distance,
the water rushing down over the sol
id rock oottom and making quite a
pleasing spectacle. Just after the
storm the sight was, to me—poor, ig
norant, low-countryman—grand be
yond description. The creek, now a
mighty jiifer, dashed over the hidden
rocks with a roar like thunder, throw
ing the spray and foam high into the
air.
There is k about eight miles from
here, the Towaliga falls, which are
pi to be very beautiful, even in oom- v „ Lllu ^ y , „„„
ratively dry weather, and on' yes- reason why it should not be success-
rOCK, e® - ***£““_“ *4
from whence tne red man is said
•day the sight must have been tru
ly grand.
I have taken several long tramps
through l lie woods nruund the spring
and found many things to interest
and please.^ The woodp. abound in
filckory mid ;chestun ts, chincapins and
a nut resembling the hickory, with
the exception that it has a soft shell,
and is said to surpass the pecan.
The seasoo is about over and the
rapidly departing for thei^
homes. The; Hder House
mif about a dozen at this time/
in place of an average of, at least, one
hundred during the entire summer.
This falling off has been about the
each of the other hotels. Up
Moe the spring was in
deed a gay and festive place, each ho
tel being crowded to its utmost ca
pacity with health and pleasure seek

The Elder Honse hack is drawn by
two beautiful {irgpcho horses, . They
are White, with' large spots of browu,
giving them the appearance of eireua
horses. They are very intelligent, and
their owner tells me they have more
than once reported the hostler to him
for giving them insufficient feed by n
peculiar series of actions.
A gentleman has just announced
that Gov. Colquitt is at the spriug.—
Several have goue down to see him.
For the historical facts in this letter
I am indebted to an old lady, who is
eighty-four years of age, and lived
here when the country was inhabited
by the Indians, She has a wonderful
memory, and has a clear knowledge
of events for more than a half-century.
