The pride of Georgia’s days of peace, the glory of Georgia’s battle-days! The admira tion of the tourist, the delight of the pleasure lover! Around its lofty sum mit have drifted the storm-clouds, or clustered those whose roseate hue re flect the smile of peaceful beauty. On this page we show a picture of this monarch of the hills, which occurs in the “Marietta folder” of the West ern & Atlantic Railroad; and which is the finest likeness of it which has ever been put upon paper. The view is taken from the southeast. But two miles from Marietta, the charming “Gem City of Georgia,” or “Little Paris,” which has a national fame as a summer resort for people in the south; with the beautiful little village of Elizabeth, nestling at its feet, where there is the largest marble fac tory in America ; with a view from its summit of Pine Mountain, upon which the Bishop-General Polk was killed; of .Lost Mountain, which, it is said, wandered away from all other moun tains and got lost; of the famous Alla toona Mountains, around which clus ters the halo of sacred song; and with A. humorous dare-devil—the very nciem to suit my purpose. THE “ KENNESZk’W I^EOTJNT-A-IN ” NUMBER. ■BaMt b.::.. - ,-/\b • ; -■' - -- . ~ " . ■' • ATLANTA, CA., JUNE 15, 1887. [LITTLE KENNESAW.] royal Atlanta, the “Gate City of the South,” showing its church spires and its factory chimneys on the southeast, it will forever remain the centre of an interest which nothing else can sur pass. Gen. Pat Cleburne. We invite the especial attention of our readers to the magnificent article on General P. R. Cleburne, which was written by Judge L. H. Mangum, of Arkansas, who now holds an im portant position in the Treasury De partment, Washington, D. C. Judge Mangum was General Cleburne s law partner before the war, and was on his staff during the war. Few, prob ably none, had such opportunities for judging him from an intimate acquain tance, as our writer. Without any attempt at flattery, we will state that we consider the article one of the finest pieces of literature which has come under our eyes in many a day. His descriptions, or word pictures, are as clear to the mind as a photograph is to the eye; the power of pathos displayed is something which we have never seen excelled; and through it all there runs such a percep tible vein of sincerity that none can KENNESAW MOUNTAIN. doubt the truth of the words which have been written. For the accommodation of those of our readers who may desire to insert it in their scrap-books, etc., we have placed it on the second, third and sixth pages. Cleburne’s Division Flag. In the “Pat Cleburne” number of the Kennesaw Gazette, which was published May 15, there was the state ment, in Colonel Avery’s beautiful ar ticle, to the effect that Cleburne’s di vision never used the Confederate red cross battle flag; but by special consent retained its original colors, which were a blue field with a white moon in the centre. We were talking a few days ago with a gentleman who was in Lowrey’s brigade of Cleburne’s division, and he remarked that the division tock great pride in the factthatthey were allowed to retain the flag as the division col ors. He says that when the surrender came, he took the colors from the staff, and concealed them on his person, in tending to carry them home, and hold them as a precious heirloom of the mem orable times that had tried his and his comrades’ souls; but, when crossing [GKEAT KENNESAW.] •Bulwer. the Savannah River at Augusta, un fortunately for him the Federal guard at that point insisted on searching him to see whether he had anything dan gerous about him. They discovered the treasured bit of bunting, and took it from him. It is not known what ever became of the historic relic; but we very much hope that it will turn up, and be re stored to some organization in the South which will keep it for the inspec tion of the public in the days and years to come in the distant future.
