6 The Last Bose of Summer. ’Tis the last rose of summer Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone; No flower of her kindred, No rose bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh. I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one! To pine on the stem; •Since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them. Thus kindly 1 scatter Thy leaves o’er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may 1 follow, When friendships decay, And from Love’s shining circle The gems drop away ; When true hearts lie wither’d, And fond ones have flown, Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone? First Class Eating- Houses. To all the through travelers over the Western tnd Atlantic railroad one of the best recommendations of its line is that coming south and going north , they have an opportunity of taking al meal at Henry Durand’s restaurant, in the Union Passenger Depot at At lanta. Henry has achieved a well deserved reputation for giving you a good square meal at a reasonable price, and too much praise cannot be accorded him for the manner in which he has built up for himself that which is to bemore prized than riches, i. e. a good name. The eating-house at Big Shanty, on the line of the Western and Atlantic railroad, also is considered the best way-side eating-house in Georgia, and the Western and Atlantic railroad can not be too highly congratulated on the enjoyment of these two eating- I houses on its line. Treating Competitors Cleverly. Ever since the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia railroad tunnel un der Missionary Ridge caved in during January last, the tunnel has been con sidered unsafe. The temporary re- I pairs were not of such a character as | were durable, and, consequently, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad company have made an arrangement with the Western and Atlantic railroad company, whereby the latter have very kindly allowed them to use their track from Chattanooga, —in other words, a dis tance of eight miles from Chattanooga i —at which point connection is made with the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia by means of a connecting track. All the trains of both roads, conse quently, run over this portion of the Western and Atlantic railroad’s track. The arrangement provides that all the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia schedules shall be absolutely under the control of the train dispatcher of the Western and Atlantic, and that should the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor gia trains be so late on arriving at the junction as to delay the Western and Atlantic south-bound passenger trains THE GREAT KENNESAW ROUTE GAZETTE.

This arrangement will last until the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad company overhaul their tunnel under Missionary Ridge and get it put in a safe condition. For the present, therefore, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia trains going southward from Chatta nooga and going northward to that point will run around via the Western and Atlantic railroad and Cleveland Tenn., or a distance of some 17 miles further than if they used their Oolte wah cut-off direct into Chattanooga. The Kennesaw Route is the shortest. Excursion round trip rates from Marietta to Allatoona and return, 75 cents. Allatoona is the place whereon was located the fort to which General Sherman signaled from the top of Ken nesaw mountain, near Marietta, “Hold the fort, for I am coming,” whence comes the famous gospel hymn. The Western and Atlantic railroad runs more passenger trains over the same rails than any other railroad in the South. Only via the Western and Atlantic railroad and Marietta you can go with in one day’s ride of Georgia’s highest mountain —Mount Enota —4,802 feet high. e Sam Jones, the great revival preach er, lives on the Kennesaw Route, 26 miles north of Kennesaw Mountain. I The Short Line Made Compara tively Shorter. Since the great flood, during the last cf March and first week of April, I the Western and Atlantic railroad is 1 more than ever the short line between Atlanta and Chattnaooga. The Ooltewah cut-off of the East Te nnessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad has been so obstructed by land-slides, etc., that it has been abandoned by the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad company tempora rially, and all their trains between At lanta and Chattanooga now run around by Cleveland, Tenn., a dis tance of some 17 miles further than if their trains ran direct into Chattanoo ga by means of their Ooltewah cut-off. This detour on their part makes the “Old Reliaole” Western and Atlantic railroad the only line between Atlanta and Chattanooga which makes imme diate connection with its through cars be tween Jacksonville and Cincinnati, in asmuch as the time consumed in run nmg around via Cleveland makes it impossible to make connection at Chat tanooga or southern points. The Western and Atlantic railroad, however, tries to accept this condition of affairs with as good grace as possi ble. It already possessed the short line between Atlanta and Chattanooga, and this makes its line comparatively over a dozen miles shorter. It still promises you with all possi- I ble assurance that it will ‘get you there’ ! first. General Joseph E. Johnston. Correspondence Mobile Advance Register Gen. Johnston is the bravest and cool est man when underfire thi.t I ever saw. j He is almost reckless with his own life, but is exceedingly careful of the lives oi'his men. I saw eight or ten vankee ; cannon open on one of our batteries ■ a little to the right of the little to wn of I Resaca. They were firing with great I fury and precision, throwing sand skv high, and had already killed several soldiers at the guns of the battery, when General Johnston rode up. He i dismounted, gave his horse in charge ; of his orderly, and coolly mounted the parapet of the battery, so as to observe the firing of the enemy. They could plainly see him, for they were not very far distant. Their firing was very ac curate. General Johnston had not been on the parapet over five minutes when a shell buried itself in the ground within five paces of him, throwing dust all over his clothes. This di« not seem to move him at all, he did not notice I it, but stood calmly looking at the fire lof the enemy until it slackened. For i over an hour the 1 shells were falling ' and bursting all around him. It is unfortunate that he should be so reck ; less with his life, for if he should be killed or wounded it would have a most demoralizing effect on his troops who fairly idolize him. General Bragg had the respect of his troops,—l speak of the privates—and they had confi dence in him, but General Johnston is loved by them; he undergoes the same hardships as the privates—does ; not even have a tent to sleep in. I have seen him sleeping on the ground under a tree, with only one blanket under him.— Atlanta Intelligencer, July 1 1864. ' y The Kennesaw Route is the quickest.
