by Jos. M. Brown, General Passenger
Agent of the Western & Atlantic
R. IL, running from Chattanooga to
Atlanta. This publication is much
more than an advertisement. It is a
condensed history of all the great bat

pamphlets we have seen, both as to
its matter and make-up.

HISTORIC FIELDS.
Some of the most memorable en
gagements of the late war took place
in Georgia, and these battlefields are
scattered all along the route from Chat
tanooga to Atlanta and upon the line of
what is now popularly known as the
“Kennesaw Route.” Some of these
were among the most sanguinary en
gagements of the great struggle, as
they include Lookout Mountain, Mis
sionary Ridge, Chickamauga, Resaca,
Allatoona Pass, Marietta, Kennesaw
Mountain, Peachtree Creek, and At
lanta* Appreciating the interest,
which their patrons might feel in the
record of these struggles, the “Kenne-
saw Route” (W. & A. R. R.) have col
lected the complete history of some
twenty of these battles, which took
place along their line and with superb
maps and illustrations, they have dis
tributed these gratuitously wherever i
they may be desired. It is a most
creditable work and will no doubt be
eagr rly sought by every soldier, of
both sides, who took part in the great
struggle for supremacy between John
ston and Sherman.

A sign of reconciliation and of en
terprise, too, is a handsome illustrated
pamphlet issued by the Western &
Atlantic railroad—the great Kennesaw
route —wherein the battles of Chatta- ,
nooga, Chickamauga, Kennesaw and
Lookout Mountain and others are
graphically described. The Union
and Confederate generals are pictured
in a fraternal group.

HANDSOME RAILROAD FOLDER.
One of the handsomest and most in
teresting railroad publications which
has come to our table recently is a 48-
page folder entitled “The Campaigns
Along the Line of the Western &
Atlantic Railroad,” issued by the road
named in the title. It is beautifully
illustrated and describes with graphic
pen the war scenes which occurred
along “the historic battlefields route
of America.” On the second page of
the cover is a very accurate and spir
ited picture of the battle of Kenne
saw, while on the front of the cover
is a battle scene with a group of bust
pictures of Generals Sherman and
McPherson of the union army, and
Joseph E. Johnston and the Bishop-
General Polk, of the Confederate
forces. On the second page of the
bright little volume is a very hand
some portrait of General Sherman,
with an equally handsome likeness of '
General Joseph E. Johnston, facing it
on the third page. The information
contained in the pamphlet is valuable
to those seeking war lore, while the
numerous finely engraved illustrations
add spirit and interest to the publica
tion.

Waukesha (Wis.) Freeman.
The Freeman has received a very
elaborate and finely gotten up folder
issued by the Western & Atlantic Rail
way Company, which is worthy of
more than ordinary attention. As is
known to many of our readers, doubt
less, the W. A A. line traverses the
section from Chattanooga to Atlanta
which was made memorable by the
fighting between Sherman’s and John
ston’s armies the summer preceding the
close of the civil war. It will always
be interesting to travel through this
historic section and people going
south should make it a point to go on
the railway in question.

Biishville (Hl.) Times.
The Western & Atlantic Railroad
of Georgia, which runs from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta, is known as the
“Historic Battle Fields Line of
America.” This title is peculiarly ap
propriate because Sherman’s and
Johnston’s armies fought over almost
every mile of the road between its two
termini. There were eighty battles or
minor conflicts during 1863-1864 on or
near the line of this road. The eas
tern base of the famous Kennesaw
Mountain is within musket shot of its
rails. It runs through Allatoona
Pass. From Kennesaw Mountain to
Allatoona General Sherman sent the
through the sky directing Gen
eral Corse to maintain this position,
from which circumstance comes the
thrilling gospel song, “Hold the fort,
sos I am coming.” Marietta, the
prettiest city in Georgia, is immedi
ately on the line twenty miles from
Atlanta, and it has become one of the
choicest winter and spring resorts in
the south. The famous marble works
at Elizabeth, Ga., are on this road.
The road is in magnificent condition,
and runs more passenger trains over
the same rails per day than any other
railroad in the South. Its through
sleeping car lines nm from Cincinnati
via the Cincinnati Southern and its
line to Jacksonville, Fla., and from
Louisville via Louisville A Nashville
Railroad and its line to Thomasville,
Ga. Parties going South will find it
to their interest to see that their tick
ets read over the Western & Atlantic
Railroad.
About the Raising of WagYs on
the W. & A.
There are no railroad men in the
country who are held in higher esteem
by their employes than those of the
W. AA. Each and every one of them
stands on an equal footing, and there
is not a man among them who would
not fight for the “Sidetrack.” Just
I such treatment as this explains the few
accidents on the road, and how the
people along can set their watches ac
curately by the trains. —Chattanooga

Psalm CXXXI.
1 David, professing his humanity. 3 exhorteth
Israel to hope in God.
A Song of degrees of David.
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine
eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself
in great matters, or in things too high for
me.
2. Surely 1 have behaved and quieted my
self, as a child that is weaned of his mother;
my soul is even as a weaned child.
3. Let Israel hope in the Lord from
henceforth and forever.
Written for the Kennesaw Gazette.
The 23d Psalm.
BY REV. N. KEFF SMITH.
One sunny noon, outstretch’d there lay
The green-robed pasture of his sheep:
And while they rest or feed or play,
The shepherd still his vigils keep.
Above his head, a friendly tree
An awning stretch’d against the sun,
And there, near by, so pure and free,
The smiling waters softly run.
With thoughts of God his soul is fill’d,
And now his lips break forth in song—
That oft the troubled soul hath still’d,
And nerved the faint with faith so strong.
The shepherd’s watchful care and love,
O’er guileless and oft wand’ring sheep
Illustrate God, who throned above
Doth guard him waking or asleep.
And so with confidence he sings,—
My Shepherd is the Lord most high,
I need not care ’bout earthly things,
For He will grant a rich supply.
In pastures green, He lays me down
To meditate and sweetly rest;
And I escape a cold world’s frown,
While softly resting on His breast.
He doth not drive, but hand in hand
To waters still with Him I go;
And as we walk o’er golden sand
He makes my heart with joy o’erflow.
*
And should I stray to barren shores,
And o’er my way the billows break,
He brings me back, my soul restores,
And loves me still for His own sake.
In righteous paths He leads my way,
(To Him no righteousness I bring,)
With Him I sweetly walk all day,
And rest at night beneath His wing.
And when the vale of death I tread,
It’s shadow only I shall see,
I will not fear, He walks ahead
With rod and staff to comfort me.
In Thy rich bounties now I share,
Though enemies may gather near;*
For Thou my table dost prepare,
So earthly foes I do not fear.
My head with oil Thou dost annoint —
A symbol true of grace divine —
For service sweet Thou dost appoint,
And make me for Thy glory shine.
My cup is full, yea, runneth o’er, —
And so my tongue, with loud acclaim
Shall speak Thy praise, Thy love adore,
And blessed be Thy glorious name I
Thy goodness, mercy follow me,
While here on earth I roam;
At last, from sin and sorrow free,
Thou wilt, dear Shepherd, take me home
Forever there I shall not want,
Forever there —in pastures green,
Forever there—no evils haunt,
Forever there —no death is seen.
Forever there—the streets are gold I
Forever there —His staff and rod!
Forever there —His love is told!
My Shepherd still, my glorious God !
