Atlanta, Ga., December 13.—Georgia is
the empire state of the south. Nature made
her so by a wealth of sail and mines that is
uatqualed in any of the coast or gulf states
south of Virginia, and her people have been
proverbial for more than ordinary southern
progress. The blight of slavery has made
her farms unsightly and hindered the de
velopment of her ruling class, but Georgia
has ever been the conservative centre of the
cotton region, and thrift and comfort have
been more generally diffused here than in
any of the oiher slave commonwealths.
There are more small farms than in any
other part of the cotton region, and the
local business centres wear a healthier
aspect than is common in Virginia and
the Carolines, while Atlanta has every ap
pearance of being the legitimate offspring
of Chicago. There is nothing of the old
south about it, and all the traditions of the
old-time south, which are made poetical to
dignify effete pride and logical poverty,
have no place in the men of the present in
the young and thriving gate city. There
must be old regulation southerners in this re
gion, but they have either died untimely
in despair or they have drifted into the
currentand moved on with the world around
control. The schools of the state are open the county after his friend. Captain Butts.
- 1 ..J ..... I _V.„ A# 1 a to
to both races on equal terms, and the stole
aid to the colored college of this city has
been placed on exact equality with the
state university for whites dj constitutional
provision. High schools equally for both
races may be maintained by special county
taxation if ordered by a vote of the people,
and two high grade schools specially for
the colored race are in progress in this dty,
exclusive of the colored college. This gen
eral system of education, equally for both
races, has not been grudgingly adopted
by the white government of
Georgia. On the contrary, it is heartily
sustained by the great mass of the whites,
and, as a rule, they generously aid rather
than hinder the advancement of the blacks.
The healthy divisions between the whites
on state and local tickets have made all
sides seek friendly relations with the
blacks, and not oue of the many more in
telligent colored citizens I have met has
complained of any want of justice to their
race. But for the stain of repudiation that
rests upon Georgia I would say that her
people have been as conspicuously faithful
as they have, been prosperous in revising
her citizenship and rehabilitating the com
monwealth.
A TALK WITH COL. W. H. SPARKS.
In TYhleli Be Gives Some Interesting
Reminiscences or the Past.
Eighteen hundred and twenty-four and
five, were eventful years in the history of
Georgia. A feud which had divided the
people of the state, many years before this
period, was revived in eighteen hundred
and twenty-three and raged with increasing
fury in each succeeding year until 1827.
This feud was inaugurated iu a difficulty
of a personal character, between General
John Clark and William H. Crawford.
Clark was a native of Georgia, Crawford,
of V rginia. Daring the revolutionary
war, General Elijah Clark, distinguished
himself as a partisan warrior, and his son,
them. The young men are not the dawlding. 1 John, under his auspices, became an active

CARtncsviLut, December 15.—On Monday
night last some person entered the offices
of the ordinary and dark of the superior
court of this county, and placing the records
of the county in one of the fire places, set
fire thereto and totally destroyed them.

A ~nlikans congratulate the city upon this

Courses, December 16.—John Mann was
plowing in wheat on Tuesday last, in this
county, when he fell dead at the plow
handles. He lived in Newton county but
was going to move tha next day to our
county. Mire Fannie Seaman, of this
place, was married on Tuesday last -to Mr.
Simpkins, a young lawyer, of Harmony
Glove. The weather is very warm and
the wood-haulers look sad. The Metho
dist Episcopal church, (colored), or some
times called "the M. E. church north," are
holding an annual conference in our town,
the session having been opened this morn
ing at nine o'clock in the building of the
M. E. church, which building was tendered
for their nse by those having it in charge.
Bishops Warren and Foster are present,and
y full attendance, there being
dred ministers and delegates.
Savannah, December 15.—This afternoon
this city was startled bv the rumors that a
voung white boy had killed a colored lad
on one of our principal streets; that the
perpetrator of the deed bad fled, and for a
time it seemed that no one knew his name
or residence. But later in the day the fol
lowing facto were developed before the cor
oner's jury: Bobbie Davis, a little white
hoy aged about 11 years, and Willie Thomp
son, a little colored lad of about the same
age, became engaged m some altercation
over a velocipede which the former was
riding on Bull street. Angry words passed
between them, when the former drew a lit
tle Christmas pistol which Lad been loaded
wHh parlor cartridges, and fired upon the
kittle negro. The latter picked up a stone
and threw it at the little boy, striking him
<m the bead. The white boy ran off and
pale-faced, soft-banded effeminates which
were so often visible in the nurslings of the
slave. They have keen, expressive eyes;
their faces are bronzed; their bands are of
ten the tell tales of labor; their step is elas
tic and their habits energetic. They bear
unmistakable signs of culture; but it is the
culture that came with self-reliance, and it
is valued because it cost them sacrifice, in
vention and effort. They have learned that
‘ hardness ever of hardiness is mother," and
if the young men of Georgia who have
grown up since the war do not soon assert
themselves and make a most wholesome
shaking np of the old fossil ideas and
dreams of the sonth every present indica
tion must prove delusive. With a city
like Atlanta, that has not .a vestige of old
southern ways about it, in the very heart of
the state and the temple of her laws, it is
simply impossible that anch keen and pow
erful pulsations can fail to quicken the
whole people. You bear no curses of the
blacks from idlers in Atlant*. They un
derstood that the negro is away behind
them; that his future is a doubtful one,
and they vote him ano .ote with him; open
schools of all grades for him, on equal
footing with the white; trade with him in
politics and in business, and move on
in their own way without leaving
obstacles in the path of the
black man or caring much whether he ad
vaLces or fills in the race. They know
that the negro will never rule the state or
anything else; that he won’t rule himself,
and while really cherishing more sincere
and practical kindness for him than most
of those who bubble over with sympathy
for him at long range in the north, they
have no political or business warfare with
him, and he votes as freely in Georgia as he
doer in Pennsylvania.
There are more potent civilizers in Geor
gia than I have met with in any other
portion of the south and they are not few
in number. The more intelligent yonng
men of from twenty to thirty years, who
are now beginning to assert themselves, are.
as a rule, the foremost missionaries in the
new civilisation in the south. They are
fretful under the booted and sparred Brig
adiers, who insist that the sons shall bear
aloft the shields of their fathers, and make
themselves mournfully sentimental over the
lost cause. They areas reverent of their
fathers as circumstances will permit, but
they believed that the abolition of slavery
was a blessing to the south as well as to
the nation, and they don’t believe in wail
ing about the loss of what they wouldn't
have back if they could get it They honor
the graves and memories of those who
fought and fell In the cause of the south;
they build beautiful monuments to prove
that they are not strangers to their parent
age, but they feel that if their fathers had
been half as heroic in developing the south
and stamping it with peaceful progress as
they were in fighting for what they never
should have bad, the southern states would
be a garden of beauty and plenty to-day.
They are especially anti-bourbon in poli
tics, and a large majority of the more cul
tured and energetic yonng men of Georgia
would to-day be republicans from choice
if republicanism as now directed was
not mainly a mixture of section
alism and plunder. They don’t
want offices, for they have learned a bet
ter way of making a living, and they are
manly in their independence, but a thor
oughly competent and reputable civil ser
vice in the south from the Garfield admin
istration, would make them straightforward
supporters of the republican president.
There are many white republicans in this
city, and all of them who merit pnblic re
spect, receive it generously. Governor Col
quitt is a progressive roan; Senator Brown
uid efficient Indian figbtsr. Clark and his
son John resided in northeastern Georgia,
the county of Wilkes, and with their
relative. Micaiah Williamson, were the
prominent and controlline politicians of
that section of the state, which was then,
and for years after, denominated "the up
country," and containing a majority
of the state’s population, was domi
nant in the state’s control. They
were illiterate and rough
men, but remarkable for strong, natural
sense, great individuality and marked de
termination. John Clark was especially
so. He was irregular in his habits, and
when drinking was violent and contentious
and frequently embroiled with those who
appear
roping
with the civilisation around him; ex Sena-
Gordon is for the new sonth in
stead of the old; The Constitution,
is a regular rifled battery against mur
muring in the old ditches of slavery 7 and it
is not wonderful that with such civilizers
and a city that is a picture of beauty and
j, the young men of Georgia mean
their own parts and write their own
history. Instead of discussing the old
plantation times ‘before tbjp wah," they
talk about railroads, factories, the torifi,
the schools, the increase of crops and the

in an agony of suspense and misery. She

herself for giving him the money for buy

There is something in the blood, will, or
rearing, which makes them conspicuous,
and a ruling power wherever they go. To
day the leading men of Mississiippi, Arkan
sas and Texas are Georgians, and in every
county and neighborhood, almost, in those
states, the controlling spirit is a Georgian.
The governor of Texas is a Georgian, so are
both the senators from Mississippi. She
has given three governors to Texas, two to
Mississippi, a governor and senator to Ala
bama, and her ablest and best men to Ar
kansas. Why it is so, I am conscious, is
because, not onlv of the extent of talent,
but integrity and stern will—all derivable
from that amalgamation of the English,
Scotch and Irish Celtic blood.
Mr. Crawford was opposed to the domina
tion of Clark and Williamson, and very
soon there crystalized about him the bet-
element of the country. A reformation
the wild and reckless character of the
people was gradually appearing. The Meth-
”st church bad taken root in thecountr
itinerancy was permeating every neigl
Itorhood. A moral and religious life was
inculcated, and rapidly found votaries in
every community. The bully and blus
terer was giving place to the sober, moral
and right-thinkingman. Mr. Crawford and
Judge Tate coalesced with these men, and
became leaders in their communities. These
frowned upon Clark and his followers, and
Mr. Crawford was accused of being the cause
of this, and he was marked to become
tbe victim of the opposing faction,
young man of noted courage was selected
commence the quarrel with Crawford;
. provoke him into a duel and to kill him
out of the way. Very soon a duel ensued,
and Van Allen (for that was tbe young
man’s name) was slain by Crawford. Not
content with this result, Clark challenged
Crawford, and iu their meeting Crawford
was wounded in the left wrist. This only
added fuel to the raging feud, and the state
growth of wealth and trade, and these are
civilizer* which wiil soon disarm southern
bourbons and northern demagogues. Tbe
rapid growth of this new civilization is
evidenced by the increase in nnmberof
small farmers and their general pros
perity and in the rapidly multiplied
factories in both the cotton and iron sec
tions of the state. With forty cotton fac
tories and the ceaseless hum of nearly two
hundred thousand spindles, and with nearly
one hundred furnaces and iron mills to
diversify industry and open new markets
or the farmers, there must be progress.
Tbe factory and the schools are the great
civilizers of the age in the south, and they
are now doing a grand work in Georgia.
Here the cotton is grown; here labor is
cheaper than in the north; here it can be
fed and clothed belter than on the bleak
bills of New England or in the crowded
cities, mud here the cotton spindles should
answer the song of the cotton gin. And
wherever the factory is reared, there is a
civilization planted in the desolation
of slavery. The shade, the vine, the flower,
the tidy fence and the tasteful home about
the cotton mill, tell tbe story of the future
south, and the uniform prosperity of the
mills of this state must speedily multiply
their numbers. They have invaded South
Carolina across the Savannah from Augusta,
and Augusta has built a vast canal to fur
nish twelve hundred horse-power of water
to invite capital, while South Carolina has
exempted from taxation for ten years all
factones erected in the state. Columbus,
this state, is one of the
most prosperous towns in the .whole
country, solely because of the many fac
tones which nestle iu and around it, and
some of the mills divide from fifteen to
thirty per cent to their shareholders, while
all of them are earning profits. The cotton
states now brine three hundred millions of
dollars annually back to their people by
their cotton crop, but they pay the north
ern and foreign mills three hundred
millions to spin it. when they could
the three hundred millions more easily
here than it can be earned elsewhere. In
short, their crop that is worth three hun
dred millions when it comes from the cot
ton gin, would be worth six hundred mil
lions if they turned it out from the spindle
ind loom, and they are just beginning to
understand that simple question of arith
metic. Tbe young men, the factory, the
school tbe hardiness and comfort of in
dustry’—these are the new civilizers which
are to revolutionize »’ M slave states.
Tbe race question is no, —ous problem
in Georgia, as is shown b> uvmony
that exists between the white* add tbe
blacks, and by the wonderful growth of
wealth among the blacks. When Governor
Bullock retired from office, tbe assessed
property of the blacks in the state was not
r hundred thousand, and now. under -the
e assessment laws, it is over six millions.
This is the voluntary ratimato of the prop-
ertv of the negroes for taxable purposes.

commanded a company tram Hancock,

who was slaiu a$ the battle of Calebs. The
bill organizing the county was on its third
reading, bat the blank left for a name had
not been filled. As soon as Dawson read
the title of this bill Abercrombie called
Burnside, of Columbia county, to the
chair, when he assumed the chair
vacated on the floor by Bnrnside. The chair
immediately on the left of this, was filled
only partially by Jndge Polbill, a very
diminutive man, and who was a Clark man,
and antogoniatic to Abercrombie. Dawson
proceeded to read the bilL When reach
ing the blank be said: "There is a blank to
be filled with a name—what shall it be?"
Abercrombie exclaimed, "Mr. Chairman.”
aloud; this gave him the floor. Then slow
ly and laboriously he struggled to his feet,
and bursting with excitement, he exclaim
ed: "I move to fill that blank
with the name of Butts, in
honor of Captain Butts, of Han
cock connty, who. fell at the battle of
Caleba. He deserved this honor. 1 knew
him well from the cradle to the saddle; he
was brave before he could walk.” Then
u rating into tears, he continued with vio
lent gesticulation, "and whilst many who
now are enjoying the honors and emolu
ments of high offices, were hiding behind
stamps and trees, he stood boldly out facing
the enemy and was shot tnrongh the
belly aad died, by God, without a grunt.”
His grotesque manner and more grotesque
figure, with bis excited language, con
vulsed the house with laughter, especially
Polbill. Wiping his streaming eyse upon
the sleeve of his coat, he turned and saw
Polbill grinning when, like a hyena he
looked in Polhlll’s face, "Go to hell, yon
damned fiwe.” It is needless to say this
broneht down the house, when tbe
chairman, Bnrnside, rapped his gavel on the
speaker’s desk and announced the blank
filled with tbe name of Butts. The ques
tion was never put, and to this day the
county has no legal name. Poor Burnside
was subsequently killed in a duel with
Governor George W. Crawford, and but a
short time after Abercrombie died from the
bursting of a blood-vessel, laughing at the
whistling story told by Daniel Brailsford,
Joe Lumpkin aad the writer, and was
characteristic to his last breath.
When tbe accident occurred he sent
his servant for Dr. Boykin, who asked his
permission to call iu Dr. Henry Branham,
who was rooming in the same building
i*here was a feud between Abercrombie and
Branham, but he cousented, and when
Branham came to his bedside be remarked:
"For once in your life, Branham, I want
you to be sincere.” A very short conversa
tion followed, when Branham said:
"Mr. Abercrombie, you are dying, and I
can only entreat you to make peace with
your God.”
"By God, I never was at war with him.”
These words were scarcely uttered when
bis spirit passed into eternity. Abe.xrom-
bie was a man of marked character. He
was a one of eight brothers, all men of mark,
and constitute one of the ruling families
of the state. They, the Crawfords, Holts
and Mein toshes, were all extensive and all
influential. The Clarks, Williamsons and
Earlys were equally so.
John Abercrombie had no malice in h's
nature;all his malice was from the lipsout-
ward, none ever entered his heart. His
character was open and strong—a most
faithful friend and forgiving enemy—knew
as little of deceit as be did of astronomy,
was rough and illiterate, but was a "man
for all that.” _____

A Bit or History.
In one of the main halls of the world-
renowned Charity Hospital of New Orleans
a beautiful tablet records the history of a
noble deed, which should be a source of
pride to every Pennsylvanian. It is this:
“The Charity Hoepital of Louisiana, was
founded in the year 1786 by Don Andres
Almonaster Y’Roxas, to whose generous
endowment, munificence of the
legislature of this State, and
the liberality of tbe State of Pennsylvania,
the community is indebted for the means
of erecting this edifice” in the year MD
CCCXXXII. This recalls the fact that
since 1868, its existence has been continued
by means of the endowment of the Louisi
ana State Lottery Company, giving it over
$100,000 in that time. A letter addressed

uira as the proper person to wrest from
Clark and hia party the government of the
state, and at once his name was brought
before the people; and daring the entire
period of Clark's service the canvass was
ardent and acrimonious. Troup was defeat
ed. but again he went before the
people. Clark retired, and Mathew
Talbot was now hia competitor.
Never was there a more exciting canvass,
never was any people so divided and so
bitter, one against the other. Tbe result was
Troop’s election by a majority of two
vote?. Tbe election for governor was then
given to the people, ar.d the fury of the
contest waa marked by blood—families
quarreled and divided, and in one remarka
ble instance a separation occurred between
man and wife, whoee eight children were
all grown and married, and this remarkable
couple were of the highest social position.
The first Monday in October, 1825,
nessed the first election of governor of the
state by general ticket of the people.
Troup was now opposed by Clark, and
Troup waa elected by 727 majority.
Pending this long and bitter struggle,
there came to the' surface many men of
marked character and great influence. The
legislature of 1824 contained a number of
these men. whose names are now perpef
being given to tbe counties of t
jarred from the territory acquired
during the administrations of Troap and
Clark.
They are all gone, and the writer is noi
the only su *viving member of the legisla
ture of.1825, perhaps tbe most remarkable
session of the legislature ever assembled,
save only that which perpetrated the great
Yazoo fraud.
