4 family died of consumption. The gen tlemen do not wish their names pub lished, but should any persons be curi ous to have them verify these state ments the writer will furnish their names. Other testimony in support of the preventive properties of the cli mate of Georgia in persons of the con sumptive type is attainable. To those, North or South, in whose families there is a tendency to con sumption, Georgia offers a home where its development would be prevented. Dr. Richards, referring to a change of climate for the aged, quotes Dr. Weber as follows: ‘ ‘Low temperature, cold winds, rapidly occurring changes of weather and a low degree of relative humidity are badly borne. High al titude stations are to be avoided at all seasons, but in summer mountain re sorts of moderate elevation may be cho sen.” Any person in the primary stage of consumption, who will live in the neighborhood of Atlanta, keep out of billiard rooms, hotel-offices and other places with vitiated and confined air, ride horse-back, or what is even bet ter, —walk, sleep in a second story, well ventilated, sunny room, eat solid, substantial food, avoid stimulants (un less prescribed by a physician) and ex cesses of any kind, bathe frequently and seek refined and cheerful society will recover health. A material advantage in choosing the vicinity of a large city as a place of resort is that, men who have form ed business habits are thrown into a ousiness atmosphere. Many opportu nities for investment are presented, so that, as health is regained one can find profitable employment for mind and capital.

We take great pleasure in announc ing to our patrons that the Western & Atlantic Railroad Company and its connections have established mag nificent palace and buffet sleeping car lines from Cincinnati and Lou isville to Jacksonville, and from Nash ville to Atlanta, and also splendid through palace coach lines from Little Rock, Ark., to Atlanta, and from Chat tanooga to Jacksonville, which are un rivalled in the facilities for comfort to the traveling public.

ISIS BW ATLANTA “CONSTITUTION” BUILDING, and Mann Boudoir Buffet sleeping car line from Cincinnati to Jacksonville via Cincinnati South rn, Western & Atlantic, Central of Georgia, Bruns wick A Western and Savannah, Flor ida & Western Railroads is continued. This magnificent line has command ed a lion’s share of the travel for over a year past, by reason of the regularity of its schedules and all the luxuries of its equipment, and “we grow better all the time” is its motto. Another superb through sleeping car line has also been organized, taking effect Nov. 14, which will run from Louisville to Jacksonville, Fla., via the Louisville & Nashville, Nash ville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, West ern & Atlantic, Central of Georgia and Savannah, Florida A Western Railroads. This will be the only line by which tourists from the northwest can go n through cars via Marietta, Atlan ta and Thomasville to Florida points. This fact alone is an overwhelming ad vantage which the line possesses. The through sleeping car line be tween Nashville and Atlanta is con tinued, and “they set the regulator by us” is its motto. These cars leave Nashville at 8:00 p. m., and arrive at Atlanta 7:25 a. m. Close connection is made at Nash ville with the through schedules from Chicago and also with through trains from St. Louis. In Atlanta, close connection is made in the Union De pot for Augusta, Aiken, Charleston, Beaufort and all southeastern points. The through first-class coach line between Little Rock, Ark., and At lanta is also continued. Its motto is, “they try to match us; but always fail.” Passengers from the northwest, com ing via Nashville, can take these cars at that point and come through to At lanta without change, as can parties coming via Memphis, or starting, of course, from Little Rock. It will be noticed from the sched ules, printed elsewhere in this paper, that the Western & Atlantic Railroad offers to the traveling public four through passenger trains per day each way between Chattanooga and Atlanta. It also offers to them what no other line does or can —through connections from Atlanta to Jacksonville, Fla., via three routes, viz: via Ty-Ty, Thomas ville and Savannah. These schedules are all in effect from November 14, and when it is borne in mind that the Western & Atlantic Railroad and its connections make it an inflexible rule not to advertise sched ules which it is doubtful they can main tain, nor 10 furthermore deceive the public by advertising as being in effect, schedules which have not yet been put on, passengers going via any of the above sleeping car lines or thorough fare car lines which pass over the West ern & Atlantic Railroad can rest as sured that they will arrive at destina tion on advertised time. The title, “Old Reliable,” which was given to the Western & Atlantic Rail road, years ago, is more than sustained by the practice of its management to promise the public nothing beyond what they believe and feel assured that they can furnish them. A Formidable Position. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from Tunnel Hill, Georgia, says he never beheld so for midable a position for defense as the rebels have at Dalton. Reaching out into the gorge from the perfectly im passable mountains on either side, spur after spur could be seen, rising one above the other, as you looked toward Dalton, and forming a series of forti fications as perfect as the hand of man ever traced, while vastly superior in magnitude to aught that he ever con structed. These natural fortifications extend all around the place, and are filled with sharp-shooters, who pick out our men with the greatest ease. The same correspondent says our troops attempted to force the passes on the two principal roads, but found them selves unable to accomplish the task, and so returned to Tunnel Hill. — At lanta Intelligencer, April 24, 1864. The rumor that a terrapin has been caught near Mapleton, Ga., inscribed “1865. J., 75 O. Vol.” is not general ly credited in this State. No Ohio troops ever let anything they could eat escape in 1865.
