Correspondence of the Atlas.
Letter from dimming.
Gumming, Ga., JuDe 14, 1871.
Mr. Editor :—I have noticed
communications in two or three
papers, recently, in speaking oftlio
morality of our town, credit the
closing of the only retail ■grocery
here to the Ordinary in refusing to
give license. In justice to Mr.
Cruse, the owner of 6aid bar room,
I will state that lie closed up and
quit selling spirits without urging
his application for licensq, to con
tinuer He agreed to quit without
being refused license; was per
fectly willing to quit for a time,
and remain so, unless blockade
runners and “cloak" dealers should
flood the place with blockade
whisky and Plantation Bitters.
The petition,gotten up and filed in
the Ordinary’s office, to which the
Cartersville Standard, of the Bth
instant, alludes, was not signed
with a view to Mr. Cruse’s case,
but asking the Ordinary to with
hold license from any and all other
persona after Mr. Cruse closed, as
it was well known by and 80
expressed by Mr C., that he would
quit so soon as his United States
license tikn out, which he did It
is true, as a citizen and neighbor, - *
I insisted on the course he pursued,
as I did in other Cases.
Mr Cruse is an ItouurAble naan,
good citizen, large property holder
in and out of towu, and uo doubt
feels as great au inleiest in the
upward growth of (lamming and
Forsyth county as any man.
There are but two retail groceries
in Forfeyth county, and no one re
fused retail license yet. All other
applications have been voluntari
ly withdrawn without action;
-not because a few, and very few,
are fully convinced that their op
position to a thing cannot be
shown plain enough without blow*
ing aloud the mostjabusive epithets
imaginable, but by a smooth,
straight-forward course of good
and roasouable argument, and
the great reformation progressing
in Foray th.
All things aro working well.

Peri and Ink Sketches —
No. 1.
“ Beneath the rugged elms—the yew trte
shade, ’ , •
Where heaves <heturf in many a # rnould'
cring heap,
Matty in their narrow cell* forever kid,
The forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
| Far from the maddening crowd’s ignoble
strife, ' .
Their fishes never learned to
j stray—
i Along the cool, sequestered vale of life,
j They kept the noiselvss tenor of their
I way.”
I promised yon, Mr. Editor,' and
some of your readers, some Pen
and Ink Sketches of some of the
early settlers of Gwinnett county,
to be published from time to time
in your paper.
The scope of these sketches
if I shall be"able to continue them
—-are intended to embrace some
of the more useful and prominent
men, and will be confined mostly
to those who have “ shuffled off
this mortal coil,” with now and
then one who may be still in- life,
and who has removed from amongst
us.
I shrink from the task—feeling
my inability to do justice to the
old fathers ; having but little data
to aid me; and will have to rely
mainly upon my memory and re
collection of facts and incidents,
iii each case, as I may endeavor
to present it.
Therefore, whatever of sact s and
circumstances that may be lacking
to make these sketches interesting
to your readers, must be attributed
to this fact, and to the additional
fact, that I was not their contem
| porary, and was not in such inti
i mate relations with them as if I,
i probably, "had been older.
L- The first' I select is that of th
I REVEREND JOHN S. WILSON, D. I).
This gentleman was not one of
the very earliest settlers of our
county; but coming here very
soon after the organization of the
County, 1 select his name, though
still in life, tor my first chapter—
oq account of his long residence*
amongst us ; for his distinguished
character afl- a Christian gentle
man, and his great usefulness as a
minister and teacher.
lie was boru iu Anderson dis
trict (4hon Pendleton), S. 0., in
1796, makrtig him 75 years of age.
Ilis early days were spent ou
a -farm and in farm work. His pa
rents removed to Missouri in his
childhood, but afterwards returned
to the South, when his education
commenced. Besides an English
school, he spent several years in
an academy, at a place called
Varrenues, in his native county;
afterwards in Ruekerfiville, Elbert
county, in this State, under the
direction of Mr McDowell. From
thence he went to Columbia, S. 0.,
under the reign of Dr. Cooper.
He was licensed to preach at
Fair Y’iew, in Greenville district,
S. C., in 1819, after which he
taught school four years at Ruck
ersville, and from there removed
to Gwinnett county in 1824, and
was a resident 20 years—remov
ing in 1844 During this 20 years
( lie was pastor of Fair View church,
I aud projected and built up the
PresbytCriau church in Lawrence
ville—an arm of Fair View—and
preached alternately at the two
churches.
The great prosperity of these
churches was due to Dr. Wilson,
and the success oi Presbyterian
ism in this county, at that time,
was due to his, influence and ef
forts. After hi* removal, these
declined, aad. I ain sorry to say,
are at a low ebb.
For 16 year* ire was rector of
the old academy'in Lawreacoville,
and had large aud flourishing
schools, consisting in a large part
of grown uji young men from dif
ferent parts "of the county, and
from adjoining counties.
In 1844 he removed to Docatur,
where he engaged in teaching, aud
was iu charge of the Presbyterian
Church there f<? In years, lie
then removed to Atlanta, his pres
-1 ent L-me, where he has
12 or lb years, in charge of the
first .Presbyterian church in that
eity.
Ho . has been in the ministry
nearly 153 years—a teacher 2b
years—and has educated several
hundred boys and girls—more,
perhaps, than any other man in
Georgia, except the celebrated Dr.
Waddel. The last years of his
teaching were confined to females.
He has had three three pastoral
charges in 4b years, and all within
the space of 30 miles. Some are
members of his present charge,
who were members of his first
charge at old Fair View. He has
been a men.her of 11 General As
semblies of the Presbyterian j
church, and often Moderator of j
the Presbytery to which his church
is attached.
The honorary title of Doctor of
Divinity was conferred on him by
Oglethorpe University in 1856 or
1851
My acquaintance with Doctor
Wilson Commenced in 1825 —he as
teacher, and I as his pupil—at the
old academy in Lawrenceville.
My early impressions were, that
he was stern, inflexible, and severe
in discipline.
He was my preceptor several
years. Upon two occasions-, dur
ing this connection, 1 remember
(whoever forgets these ?) lie ap
plied to me “ the birchen rod V*—
the only correction 1 ever received
.at school. Of course, I thought
them unjust and undeserved, and
inflicted for his personal gratifica
tion. 1 then resolved upon terriW
deeds in retaliation when I should
become a man; but, like all such
determinations, of course they were
never put into execution. My ven
erable preceptor will forgive me—-
if this should meet his eye—when
I say, that it took me 40 years to
ovefcome this early impression,
and to get rid of this prejudice.
As a minister, Doctor Wilson
classes amongst the ablest in the
State; nod no one within my
knowledge has done more towards
evangelizing the people. The old
church at Fair View was indebted
to him for her great prosperity in
the olden time —her large mem
bership and spiritual prosperity.
In addition to his great useful
! ness as a minister and teacher, lie
i was the great apostle of temperance ,
and the leader of the temperance
reform in our county; and did
more towards the lm thet ancc of
| this good enterprise tbauany other
citizen.
He may have had his foibles —
who has not V He was stern, and
somewhat irascible, but strong in
bis principles and attachments,
kindly in his nature, and uncom
promising in his devotion to the
right. But to speak in extenso
of this good man would occupy
more space than you can give. 1
regret that I have given so little,
when so much might be said.
Doctor Wilson is now far ad
vanced in lile, and is nearing octo
genarian age ; but when I last saw
him, ho was in robust health, erect,
and bad the same elastic step of
other dljfc, and bid fair to be spared
yet for many years. But a report
lias reached me siiicd commenced
this sketch, that be is very ill. 1
quote from the paragraph : “ We
regret to state that the health of
the venerable and learned Dr.
Wilson is not as good as his many
friends could wish. The Rev. Doc
tor is a type of thatnoble school of
meh who have stded. the test of time
and risen above, the popular isms of
the day, and already bears upon
bis brow the croVn'of saintsbip.’’
I hope bis illwwts is only tempo
rary, and that lie soon will be re
stored to health to still bless the
! church and country.
, When such men die, the world
[becomes much poorer for the loss,
j But a few years more, at most,
| and the aged Doctor will be gatli-
I ored to his fathers, despite, the
j wishes of his numerous friends
' for his longer stay. Man must

irrevocable!

explanatory.
Mu. Eiutob Your correspon
dent, W. D. R., was mistaken in
his allegations against me, that I
am a busybody in other men’s mat
ters. When his article appeared
iii your paper, criticising the
singing at old Fair View, it pro
duced quite a sensation, not only
with the parties present and sing
ing at that, time and place, but
with a great many others, and at
different places. There were being
said hard things, and a scurrilous re
ply was being prepared for publics*’
tion. A# 1 had invited Brother
Skelton and others to meet and sing
at all bur churches, where the sing
ing was almost entirely abandoned,
they let me into the secret of their
purposes. When I learned it, I
said: “ Oh, no! Don’t- offer such
a thing as that in reply.” They
did not think it too eevdre; but,
said 1, “that does not defend your
cause. Answer the article upon
its own merits.” “Who would
do it?” 1 said, “Get Brother
King." “fie will have nothing to
do with it, as lie is entirely ig
nored by the writer.” After
much talk, pro and con, I agreed
to answer it, 1 wrote my little
reply, and submitted it to Brother
Skelton aud others. They did not
think it severe enough. I thought
it was. Wlio would be responsi
ble for it ? I was not to lie known.
In order to prevent you, Mr. Edi
tor, from having any suspicion as
to its author, a lady was requested
to copy it, which she did’, and
Brother Skelton became responsi
ble for it, and carried it to your
office. As you know, you demurred,
but finally agreed to publish it. It
diil not appear in the next issue of
your paper—and it was thought
by those parties, that you would
give it the go-by, aud make it a
one sided light, if you did, they
would send it to Atlanta, and ask
its publication ; for they said there
were in and around Lawrenceville
a set of men, who thought they
had the right to control everything
in the church and out of it. Un
der these circumstances, 1 went to
you, Mr. Editor, and assumed the
article, in which 1 thought then,
and think now, 1 did right. If the
article had been sent to Atlanta, it
would have damaged you ami your
excel lint paper, which I would
gn a'ly deplore. *
1 have the proof at hand to all
the above, as you know, Mr. Edi
tor. Now I leave the whole mat
ter to the judgment of the public.
But, as you know, W. D. R. and
myself have had an interview, in
which he expressed regret that he
did not understand the matter be
, fore his last article, and said he
would do all he could to counter
act its influence.
Mr. Editor, I want singing iu
the churches. “Sing praises;
sing with a loud voice; let all the
people sing.’’ Oh, that the "songs
of Zion ” weie taken from the
willows, aud that all the churches
would sing praises to God!
1 conclude by saying I have
never had any personal feeling
against YV. D R , but have read
|,Ts article with much interest.
Respectfully, R. F. F.

Gen. M. E. Lee's Farewell l
Address.
llkadqu.KT ,s Army,

April 9, 1865. ] '
General Orders, 1
No. 10 ]
Alter four years of arduous ser
vice, in irked by unsurpassed emu -
age and fortitude,- the Army of
Northern has been com
pelled to yield to overwhelming
numbers and resources.
1 need not tell the survivors of
so many hard-fought battles, who
have remained steadfast to the
hint, that I have consented to this
result from no distrust of them.
But feeling that valor and devo
tion accomplish nothing that
would compensate for the loss of
life attendant on a continuation
of the struggle, 1 have determined
to spare the live* of those whose
past services endeared them to
their countrymen.
By the terms of agreement, offi
cers and men will return to their
homes and remain until exchanged.
You will take with you the sat
isfaction .that proceeds from a
consciousness of duty faithfully
performed, and I earnestly pray
that a merciful God will extend
to you His blcsssing and protec
tion.
With au unceasing admiration
for your constancy and devotion
to your country, and for your kind
and generous consideration ,ibr
myself, I bid you an affectionate
farewell.
R. E. Lee, General.
