Amongst the many prominent men «

Scotchman, and the son of John Mitchell,

October, 1706 Hit ancle. Dr. David Bra
die, bad, some veart prior to the revolution,
emigrated to America and located in 8a
vannab. where he pursued his profession.
When the war of the revolution was Ini
Gated Dr Bradie became an active partisan
of the American cause. He was in the
skirmish near Midway. In Liberty countv,
where General Screven was killed, and was
the ph widen who was in attendance when
that gallant man breathed bis last He
was taken prisoner, and was at Savannah
confined on a prison ship, where, from con
finement and cruel treatment, he died, oe
queatbfnghfs eratan to bis nephew and
namesake. David Bradie Mitchell, who was
then a boy in Scotland. It was not until
17:3 that young Mitchell arrived in Sevan,
nah to take possession of hla bequest. He
was then’only seventeen years of age. He
found the exeentor of his uncle’s will bad
faithfully administered the estate, and

ty. He did not set down however and w*it
in idleness the period of bis legal majority,
bnt went to work as a clerk In the law
office of the Honorable William Stephens
At this time the criminal code of the sfate
Was being revised. The gentlemen appoint
ed to this duty met lr the office of Mr.
Stephens, and they appointed Young
Mitchell their clerk, and from the writing
over several times the acts, and bearing
them discussed, he acquired such a knowl
edge of these a* to repeat them by heart.
This fset brought b<m prominently into the
notice of the members of the bar, and their
persuasion it wss that stimulated him to
continue to read law. and to draerve the
confidence of the bar, and the patronage of
Mr. Stephena. He was most assiduous in
bis studies.
ft wss not a great while before this appli
cation, and the evidence he gave of manly
deportment and brilliancy of intellect at
tracted public attention, and he became, be
fore he was nineteen year* of age, prumi
nant as the mot promising young man of
the city- Indeed, he • cents never to huve
been a hoy—but stepping as it wa* from the
cradle to manhood A* moon a« eligrii’e by
age, he was admitted to the bar, and went
immediately into a lucrative practice, and
in a few years was at the head of the bar;
and in 171*15, when only twenty-nine yea's
of age, lie was elected attorney geneial of
the state. This office be soon resigned to
become a member of the legislature—to
which he waseiected in 1796. In this body
he soon became conspicuous for ability,
with great energy and determination—aud
was conspicuous as the leading opponent of
the Ysz'joact, which he denounced in nn
measured terms, and which he voted
against. It was he who said: ‘•The yeas an I
na>a, Mr. Speaker—I wish this to go on th*
record, that my children may point in the
coming future to it as the act of their an
cestor with pride, and that the names of
th-isf voting for this most corrupt and
•odious measure shall he a rebuke to their
•Chil iren to avoid tbe exam pie of their s-res.”
Prom this day forward Mr. Mitchell became
oat' of the prominent men ot the stale At

by the micciws of the revolution, and this
pronnnei.ee given to thoae acting in that

was only inferior to that of governor. lo

the first division of the militia of the stole,
and on the 0J» of Novenibn, 1809, war
elec:«m! governor of the state, whan 48 year*
ol age. *
At the time of the election of Mr. Mitch-
*11 to the governorship ol Georgia the
•country was ugitoted by the apprehension
•of a war with Great Bruaio. The conduct
•of the naval commanders of the vessels of
swat ot the English along the coast of th->
U]J wired Stare* was not only must insolent,
Imt oppressive. American ships Were
boarded and American aeapten impressed
and carried off a-* Kindiab subjects amt forced
.into English service. The United States
was almost without a navy, and tub gave
impunity to the action of the commanders
of English cruiser*. Tue Indians
upon the frontier oi Georgia
and thoae in Florida. then a
Spanish province, were iustigated by K ig-
lithntcn, resident amongst them to depre
date upati the people of Georgia, and this
was countenanced by the Spanish authori
ties, r.ud general indignation pervaded the
people of roe United States, but especially
the people of Georgia.
The first year of the administration of
(Governor Mitchell, there were wermus dep
redations committed upon the citizen* of
•Camden county by the iudiai.s The gov
ernor promptly gave roe order to have the
JndiatM punished, but they sought refuge
in Florida. Theae depredations were con
tinued on the frontier until this aggreva
tion became too great to be quietly bori c
with In view of these acta iu 1812 he ro-
'Oomtnei'ded to the legislature the complete
•organisation ot trie militia, anticipating the
declaration of war which would certainly
be followed with increased aggres ions
upo*i the frontier*of the states and openly
fomeiried by the enemy. There was great
•dipaWtLdacuon on the part of the Spauish
.authorities, a* on the part id the govern-
nmit of Georgia, ami not without cause. On
both side* of the lines, and near it, were
congregated daring and desperate men, and
earn plundered and murdered the other as
'Opportunity presented. There was organ
ised along the line a hand of men from b <th
aides of the border denominating them-
.-•alvea as patriots. This band was consti
tuted entirely of American* and their
ravowtd object was fills revolution to
•emancipate Florida from the Span

waa found that the ball had perforated the

This fettled tha status of Mitchell, as a

and appreciated iu properties, ordered Bull
to make him one with nxteen saws. This

ages in the circuit court ot the United
States at Savannah The case was tried be
fore Judge Johnson, and the lawyers who
brought and who defended roe reap indent
in the suit were David Bradie, Mitchell
and Peter Early. They were the first men
at the bar in 8avannah and in the up-
country. The patentees were defeated and
from that day Esrly and Mitchell were
competitors at the bar and before the peo
ple politically. •
Early was elected governor in 1813, when
the war waa in full progress, and

As governor of Georgia he was appealed
to for pecuniary aiu and promptly drew
hi* warrant upon the treasurer of the state
for $80,000 and paid it ofer to the United

authority- of tne governor, without the
sanction of law, aud as a breach of public
faith The extreme uecessity of the act was
its justification, and the legislature sus
tained the governor at a subsequent session.
In the winter of 1813-14 an act was passed
by the legn-lature arresting during tne war

Indians, and on the 4th of November he
resigned the office of governor, and remov

what is now Crawford county, he assumed
the duties of that position as an officer of
the United 8ate» government. At ibis
period .the office of Indian agent to ih«
Creek Indians was deemed a most profited..?
oue, aud largely sought after by the first
men of the country. The late war had so
reduced theae Indians in numbers and
wealth, aud so circumscribed the limits of
their territory that the profits of tne otfle
were greatly reduced, still they were suffi
cient o make the office desirable.
During the incumbency ol Gov. Mitchell
there was imported to Apalachicola a cargo
of African negroes by certain parties re
aiding in Savannah, Milledg ville aud New
Orleans It is but a few weeks eince that.

Intosh was then the Uuited S.aus marshal
for the state of Georgia. He was informed
of the landing of the negroes at Apalachi
cola and immediately in-tituied search for
them This led to their discovery of the
negroes. They were captured without re-
s stance, as no oue dared claim them or
attempt to prevent their seizure The
marshal conveyed them to Milledgeville,
and thev were placed in the penitentiary
for safe keeping. Through some assumed
authority they were ordered to be sold, and
nearly oue-haif them were actually s»ld
before this oroer was declared void, and the
sale was arrested, and the morrey which
had be n paid for those so d was placed in
bank to abide the i»*ue of a claim now
instituted by Juan Madrazj, a merchant of
Havana.

called on for ao explanation of how theae
negroes came into his possession, as they
were found Upon his premise*. This ex
planation was given In this the agent
aoy participation in the trans
lating that the enclosure
which they were found
was an extensive wood and cane
pasture, enclosed simply for the security of
his stock, preventing their wandering into
the surroundi- g wilderness and consequen
loss; that this enclosure was easily ap
proached without any apprehension of
discovery by the way of the river or the
dense forest Rurrouuding it, and without
his knowledge or consent had been chosen

the settlements of Georgia and Alabama,
the latter then being sealed and rapidly
populated; that the discovery of their
whereabouts had been almost immediate y
after their arrival and before be had him»eil
learned of thair being on bis premises.
This was considered by the government a
lame defense, and Mitchell was di>rais*ed
a* a party to the importation and conceal
mem of these Africans The importation
into the United State* of African* as slaves
had been arrested in 18-18 by act of congress
and made a criminal offense. This act was
sustained by public opinion, quite as
demonstrative in the slave states as iu
any other part of the union. OJinm at

Washington, February 18.—Preparations
for tbe inauguration begin to shew what a
gorgeous occasion it will be. The trium
phal arch in front of the treasury building
has been completed. It is quite a massive
structure with two tall towers. When fully
decorated with flags and flowers it wiil pre
sent a very imposing appearance. Tbe
national museum is almost ready for the
ball. The artists are putting the le?s on
he mammoth goddess of liberty and the
Diumber has been actually holding her
hand while he arranged for the gas jets*
that are to make a coronet of light atiove
her. ta her right hard an electric light
will flash splendid'y. Tickets for the ball
continue to sell at $5 each, though there is
•‘till complaint that nearly one half of them
have gone to negroes. Senator Hoar’s res
olution to prohibit miJtia from partici
pating in the procession was ignored
by the senate. The crack companies
of the north will bo here. A number of
southern companies are also expected. Tbe
:ocal military will all turn out Knights
Templar and various other ordefs will add
~;o the line. Estimates as to the probable
ize of the procession differ. Some say there
will be between fifteen and twenty thou
sand men in line. How to see such a
ageant is the question. Th*e jam will be
♦earful. Already the hotels are comfort*
ably full. Tbe trains bring in-hundreds

tbe people are being packed closer. The
rush will begin about the 1st and will con
tinue to grow worse until the morning of
ihe 4tb. -The capacity of Washington will
be tested as it never was before. Many will
be obliged to stop in Baltimore. George
town and Alexandria will be crowded to
overflowing Along tbe avenue long lines
01 graduating seats are being constructed
Into these people will be packed at $1 or $2
a head to sit squeezed together and see tbe
procession pass Tops of houses will be
favorite perct^s for the curious. Already
several bui dred tickets for the roof of the
mry budding have be-.n issued. Liberal
price® are offered for them. Balconies and
windows are regularly on the market. A
second-story window on the avenue is held
at $10 for the day; Some of them go much
higher. A lady wiire tried to rem four nice
windows for some friend* was told that she
could have them and the room they were in
for $200 on the 4th. Standing room on the
capttol steps will be precious, and all the
windows which give a view of tbe avenue
or the inaugural ceremonies will be in great
demand. The thirteen streets which cross
the avenue are to b* decorated with arches
bearing the mottoes and coats of arms of
the thirteen original states, A good view
of Washington on the 4th will be somethi g
never to bo forgotten, but tbe man who gets
it must have patience and money.
Last night 1 met J udge Billings whom
Mr. Hayes has designated as the successor of
Judga Woods on the circuit bench He is a
pleasant, plausible man, apparently just in
bis prime. He says that if he gets to be
circuit judge, oue of his most pleasant du
ties will be that of visiting Atlanta. In his
opinion tbe climate is the most delightful
he has ever known, and he places Allan a
foremost among tbe cities Ot the south in
thrift and enterprise and iu good prospects
tor tne future No new light hgs fallen on
the question of bis confirmation. It seems
most probable that the senate will not take
any action on the nomination at all. As to
whether Garfield will re-nominate Judge
Billings there are two opinions.

Special Correspondence Constitution.
Washikgtoh, February 20.—While the
bouse was considering the agricultural ap
propriation bill yesterday Dr. Felton made
a speech. Mr. Hurd, of Ohio, had offered
•a aatfin&Bgat requeuing the cum mi*
dinner of agriouUnre to,est\matehow ranch
more the farmer had to pay for his imple
ments, his clothing, and his general sup
plies, on acoount of the protective tariff.
After Dr. Felton had spoken on the merits
of the bill he turned hia attention to tbe
subject suggested by the amendment of Mr.
Hurd. His remarks were so well guarded
that it wouid be difficult to define the posi
tion be took on the tariff. It seemed at one
time as if he were going in squarely for
free trade and then he appeared to favor a
tariff l, for revenue only” as the enigmat
ical language of the Cincinnati convention
pat it. Bat the general drift of the
speech showed that the docto** is in favor of
a tariff of some sort and it was considered
that he leaned toward the republican side
of that question. His remarks do not ap
pear in 10-day’o Record, as he withheld them
for revision.
It ia tbe opinion of many that the in
coming administration will tender some
very desirable position to Dr. Felton. He
is regarded as one of the men.wbo are to
divide the south into two powerful parties.
Some say he will be offered the position of
commissioner of agriculture, though Mr.
Luring, of Massachusetts, is commonly re
garded as tbe successor of Le Due. There
are other desirable places which the doctor
could fill well. I don't think he would like
a foreign ministry as it would take him
away from Georgia politics for four years and
he has no idea of leaving that-fruitful field.
He is justly regarded as the foremost man
among those who have bidden open de
fiance to democratic organization in Georgia
and therefore his probable course is the sub
ject of much speculation. The most plausi
ble plan suggested yet is that he intends to
make a oold raid ou the whole state in ’82
in an effort to be elected governor. Nobody
doubts that there will be two candidates
then. Tbe organized democracy will have
out its man and be will be opposed by a
candidate representing that element which
demands “purification” in the party, as it
called. Of the representatives of this
ter class. Dr. Felton will be the most
availasie leader. He can command more
solidly the republican strength and can
receive from the great head center of
political acberae* more substantial aid than
auy other mau in whose hands tbe banner
of rebellion cnnld be placed. His politi
cal career will have a parenthesis
which will make a conquest
the seventh district much less gratifying
than it would have been coming in a long
line of victories. Dr. Felton wilt be an old
man in '82. The dignity of the guberna
torial chair would tempt him more than
tbe active life of tbe lower house. If his
ambition looked to higher position tbe
state bouse would be a better stepping
stone than the southern wing of tbe cipitol
for be is now known eminently as a district
and not a state politician.
Speculations as to his movements mav
fail but there is one broad prediction which
will be verified. It is that this man, who
has given toindependentism in Georgia its
first grasp on jo*er and most of. tbe back
hone it has yer. acquired, does not intend to
leave tbe politi-al arena He will be
found thi re to the last and bis influence in
end of the state is worth considering as
the basis of a more extended power in
Georgia politics.
——Senator Brown put some very strong
views before tbe aerate when the refundit jg
bill was being considered His speechwas
one of the meatiest in that loDg debate. It
contrasted well with the verbose oration
which Senator Voorbees rolled out in the
same day. Senator Brown is one of those
speakers whose practical thoughts seem ever
to fit a subject as if he bad made it an ez
pecial study. Mr. Voorhces has always had
nis heresies on tbe money question. His
constant demand is for more, but be never
tells where it is to come from. Senator
Hill did not speak ou the bill.
While the Georgia marshalsbip will
be left undisturbed during the briet rem
nant of tbe present administration it will
be the subject of agitation very soon after
Garfield takes the reins. Of applicants there
wiH be enough. The ardent backers of
Colonel Fi z-fimons will try to keep
in ontd 1882, when bis term ex
. j. The republicans in Georgia
will claim the office at once. Among those
who wilt be most earnestly pressed for it is
Mr. James C. Freeman, of Atlanta. He
has friends io both parties here who woul 1
work for him. It is said that Mr. Kimball
will also be a candidate under most favara-
ble auspices. The use of bis name as the
succea-or of Colonel Fitz*imons in the
recent complications has brought into gen
eral recognition his capacity fur filling ine
office. ihe Savannah republicans will
have some man to present. At least one
prominent candidate may be expected
from among that large class of “progres
sive” democrats who are on band whenever
their services are needed.
The office is not worth as much as it was
several years ago It must have netted $10.
000 a year*hen Major Smyth had it for the
first term. Now it is not probably worth
more than half that sum. The deer* ase of
moonshmiug will lessen ita value still
further. It is still a snug berth over which
tbeie will soon be a merry little contest.
I forgot to say that* among the appli
cant* tar the niarahalship will be Colontl
Marcellos Thornton, who. when s'ked
about his chances last night, said: “I am
sure I could get it if the Georgia delegation
wouid give me a unanimous indorsement."
An effort will be made under tbe new ad
ministration to dislodge .Mr. Andrew Ciark
from tbe position of revenue collector for
the second district of Georgia. He is bit
terly opposed by a wing of the republican
whose railroad stocks and cotton sptndlss f
have wrought him millions. Tbe southern
men live in modest style—seldom in fash
ionable quarters, or board at hotels with
not too much spare room or too niauy lux
uries. Tbe bloods who could spend their
thousands daring a session of congress and
drive tbe'r crack teams along the avenue
were once dashing, hot brained young
southerners who could ride a week over ■
their paternal estates and owned so many
negroes that they did not know half of
them by sight Now the bloods are the sors
of the men who boast that they once
worked at a loom, oj* drove a jack plane, or
plnnged a pick into the yellotf ore. or
guided. & plow through the fallow prairies

her beauty Is no longer the
frail daughter of the aouth, but the

shrewd father.
And yet southern people are in the best
society here—as guests. What I mean to
say is,that they no longer direct itand give
ita most lavish entertainments Tbe
*pIerdorof that old social system baa faded.
The plebeau is clothed in purple and fares
sumptuously every day. The patrician is
living on an income such as he used to
allow his overseer.
Among the Georgia people visiting
Washington are B H. Hill. Jr., and wife,
of Atlanta; W. A. Reid, of Eatonton; R D
Walker, Jr., of Savannah; General P M B
Young, of Bartow county; Colonel A. R
Lamar, of Savannah; Miss Anuie Pace,of
Covington, aud Miss Carrie Westmoreland,
who came home with Miss Dddge, of
this city, who recently visited Atlanta.
Others are expfeted between «ow aad the
4tb. A large excursion party from Atlanta
will arrive hereon theeveniiig of the third.
Preparations for the entertainment of
visitors insure the enjoyment of all who
come The inauguration will be grand be
yond all precedent. It is thought that there
will be as many as. 25,000 *oldiers and citi
zens in line. Some think there will be as
many as4O,0C0. At ni^lit there will be an
illumination of all the streets. Arches of
huge gas pipes have been erected across the
intersection of all the streets with Pennsyl
vania avenue, and will blaze with myriads
of jets on the evening of the 4th. Decora
tions of the buildings and tbe windows are
in progress. Tbe nationa 1 museum will be
magnificently adorned and lighted with
electricity for the gay revel at the ball
Washington tfill be better worth seeing ou

One of the men seen most frequently
in the corridors of the caiutol buzzing ana
beseeching the statesmen is Belknap, whose
disgrace five years ago seems to have left no
humility behind it. He is a professional
lobbyist who seems to have bis bands full.
His wife is a remarkably beautiful woman
whose extravagance is said to have led the
ambitions Belknap to the first step iu the
crooked path of official trickery.
It is believed that in spite of the
effort of the republicans to stave off action
on the apportioument act, it will be passed
by tbe present congress Any cumber of
representatives below 313 would give the
south an increased proportionate power.
Such a figure as 301 would give, of the eight
new members, a net gain of five. There
will be an effort from the west
to carry the number as high as
319 sj as to g ve that section the best
relative increase, but it will not succeed.
There is strong opposition on both sides to
enlarging the house mnch beyond its pres
The bridge across the JPotomac has
been restored far enough to allow trains to
pass over. Mails will henceforth be more
regular and faster perhaps.
Among the most entertaining men
in Washington are three gentlemen of In
dian blood, who are here in the interest of
claim, which i* pressed by the tribe to
which they belong. They are welcome
guests in the most elegant parlors. They
sing, recite and read beautifully. Some of
tbe border tales they tell are quite thrill
ing.
Both bouses sif at night now. With
the same amouut of talk and the same rate
of progress that have marked tbe proceed
tags of the past few weeks, the calendars
will be left heavily loaded when this con

Washisotow, Febiuary 21.—A southerner
who knew Washington forty years ago
would find cu visiting it now few traces of
ihe straggling city of that period in tbe
beautiful avenues and palatial s reels of
the “new civilization.” Bat he would find
other changes which would make him sad
The most noticeable of these would be the
position of southern people at the capital
in those old flash days and that which they
are now compelled to occupy because of
their broken fortunes and the loss of the
commanding political power they once
wielded.
Apxoag the old people here and especially
among the old servants, are preserved
stories of that princely life—a life which
in its extravagant luxury is not equalled
by any of the millionaires who now dwell
in the “marble halls” of Wash
ington. Then theentertaining waa done by
southern men almost entirely. The west
was too new to have acquired the grace* of
social life and too poor to luxuriantly in
dulge them if they had been understood.
New Englanders of that day were not given
10 such liberal social baoita as they have
since acquired.- The wealthy men at the
capital were from the south and their
homes here were warmed with that genial
glow of hospitality which display* wealth
90 generously. No people ever lived so
extravagantly as the sou then ers of that
time and in Washington there was an
“extra touch” because it was & del gntfni
p ace to entertain, and because, (it must.be
confessed.) it was pleasant to show the
north “bow to live in style.”
The accounts of the extravagance of the
slaveholder of that day sounded like fairy
tales, and even now taken with a degree o
allowance, though they are probably
cot exaggerated. But thing* are so differ

The Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Line rail
way haa always been one of Atlanta’s favor
ite roads. It was built just before the panic;
in fact, the panic passed over it before the
first engine went through to Charlotte. Out
citizens saw the three hundred thousand
dollars subscribed to build the road by At
lanta go’ lota lire great gulf made by thi
panic-of 1873 without a murmur, for the
road was a great benefit to the city. The
first tvefnty miie3 added to the business and
prosperity of Atlanta, and as it wa- extended
on it still increased our business, and was
not only a great advantage here, but all along
the line it increased the value of property
Tbe road was sold to pay the first mortgage
bondholders, and was bought in by them to
save themselves. When Colonel G. J. Fore
acre was put in charge of the road as general
manager by the purchasers at the sale under
the foreclosure of the mortgage it was not
considered a first-class road; no one outside
of Atlanta and the people along the line of
the road thought there was much in it The
stock of the new company was not worth
two dollars and a half a share, and the bond*
could be bought for thirty ceuts in the dol
lar. Colonel Foreacre had as much faith in
the road as the people of our city ever had.
and he went to work with all his experience
and ability to demonstrate the fact that the
road waa all that its friends claimed for it
He put the road bed in fine order, opened
new stations, and equipped the road with
the best roiling stork He did not stop at
this—he immediately went to work to pop
nlnte the wilderness along the line with
thrifty people wherever he could get them,
and encouraged and assisted in building
branch roads whenever he found thev
would pay. Nothing was left to chance,
but everything-was worked and pushed
with energy and skill, and to dav the stock
i9 selling at fifty-four, and the* bonds arc
one hundred and seven, and it is one of ihe
beat roads in theaomh. It has a better fu
ture than any road in the United Suites
U is nearer to New York bv this road for
the people of Georgia, Alabama and part of
Mississippi—there is no end to tbe outcome
in local business, and can make more con
nections wi li roads to the different At
lautic ports than any road in America.
There have been various rumor* afloat
about a change in thi« road. Colonel Fore
acre’s recent trip to New York, it was said,
indicated a change. It has been published
that the Baltimore and Obio and the Rich
niond and Danville wanted to purchase the
road. Colonel Foreacre returned to the
city Sunday night, and a representative of
The Constitution called to see him. We
found him engrossed in busines, and after
waiting'a while to get at him we tried our
pump ou him.
“Well, colonel,” we said, “what about
the changes in the ownership of the Atlanta
and Charlotte railway?”
“Thore is nothing to it,” said the colonel
‘Several parties want tbe road, and some
have talked business about it, but there is
no change in contemplation, or was
not wheu I left New York. The present
owners are amply able to hold it and help
it, and will notsell it unless they want to
change their investment. They are better
satisfied with the road now than they have
ever been.”
“What parties have been trying to -pur
chase the road?”
“It would not be proper for me tosav.”
“You spent several days in New York,
colonel,” “did you hear anything about the
Georgia Western, aud what do you think
about it being built?”
“Oh, yes,” he replied, “I heard a good deal
about it.” “I met General Gordon- He told
me he nad purchased tho road from the
Louisville and Nashville compauy, and
would commence at once, backed by a
strong company, to build it. I saw Messrs
Murphy and English there and introduced
1 hem to some of ray friends in New
York. I think the road will be
built. General Gordon stfinds well in finan
cial circles in New York, and has ths confi
dence of strong oren there. If General Gor
don don’t build it he will get it os its feet
again, and bring it to the attention of those
who will.
“It is the duty,” said Colonel Eoreacre,
of the people of Atlanta to give all the
assistance and encouragement they can to
General Gordon—hear what he has to say
and hold up his hand?, aud let eve-y triend
of the road pull toge.ber and it will be
built. I know enough to know that there
is a better prospect to h?ve this road built
now than there bas been for years I know
what this road will do for Atlanta, and I
have talked it and thought about it all the
time, and I have done all I could to interest
men who had money in tbe enterprise. Let
the people of Atlanta help General Gordon.
If they succeed only in getting the iron or
the twenty miles, that will bo something,
and there will be n» trouble if he fails, and
l don’t think he will, to get others to push
the road through to Birmingham. ”
‘You think the road Will be build soon?'
‘I do. General Gordon will start it and
finish it, I think, without any interruption,
unless there is a change in railroad matters
not anticipated now. If be fails it will be
easier to start it again than it has been this
time ”
“Your road baa been building several
branch road*?”
“Yes; we have helped whenever we
could 8ix miles of tbe branch road to
Liwrenceville is ready for the rolling stock,
and the balance of the iron will be laid
down as soon as we can get it from the mill.
They will commence layirg iron on the
Roswell road on the first of March I made
arrangements while in New York to help
the Gainesville and Jefferson road. Tbe
grading of this road is to be completed by
tbe 15ih of next October. The Dahlonega
road is getting on well, and the Elberton
Air Line is increasing in value every day
All these roads have received encourage
ment and assistance from our company.”
Colonel Foreacre showed ns the figures
indicating the tooage of his road for 1879
aud 1880. Tbe increase is marvelous
Almost every station between Atlanta and
Chaaiotte shows an iucrease, oue or two ft
decrease caused by removal of mills from
one s'ation to another The it crease is
large at all the points where theie is a heavy
trade on this line. *
The people of the slate are to be congrat
ulated on having such a well managed
road We hope they will ever have the
same prosperity in the future they have had
in the past.

Th® Mob Busks Into the Oonrt-Hsis® and Hang

Story Verandah—A Wieked Act
Terribly Avenged—Etc.
Cincinnati, February 19.—A telegram
from Winchester, Teun., represents that the
troops were present for the protection of
the alleged LaPrade murderers, on trial
there, and that they gave a parade in the
court house, yeuterday before dark. Last
night after dark a furious thunder storm
came on jmd fear of the prisoners being
lynched then vanished. A night session
was held to finish the trial. Judge Stark
gave his charge to th- jury, after which the
sheriff proceeded wiih the prisoner*, James
Higgins, Lock Mallory, Lou Thweat, Robert
Thwea and James Elder to jail. A mob of
about 200 pressed upon the sheriff and
took the prisoners and hanged them—that
is the five on trial—to the verandah of tlio
second story of the court- house. At r j ruey-
General Bell tried to obtain a posse lo-etop
the mob at the door, bnt failed, and bad to
make his exit through « window. Tho
crowd in the court all jumped from the
windows. I was at home, heard the noise
and started for the square with a lantern,
but was ordered to blow it out and stop,
course I obeyed. I could form
idea as to how many were
the' mob. About one hundred,
shots, it is supposed, were fired at the
prisoners. When I left tho square I could
hear the man in command giving orders,
but could not understand what he said.
There was some talk of the mob coming to
day, but it was not generally belie veil that
they would come.
The mob has now gone home. Tlxero
must have been two hundred men. They
me; the sheriff at the court-room door, with
E resented pistols, took the prisoners from
im and ordered the lights all out. They
then carried all five of the negroes to the
east door of the court-house, where ropea
were awaiting them, and they were drawn
up by willing hands ir|the verandah abote.
They all died without a struggle, except
Jim Elder, who had to be thrown down,
ti< d and then raised. Hundreds of shota
were fired, but none at the prisoners.
The mob guarded the bodies umil they
were sure they were dead, and the leader
gave the order, “Disperse, my. men, to
your homes,” and they immediately de
parted, going in three directions.
They came in on horses, but went t i tho
court house ou fcot and were not discov
ered till they met the prisoners at the
door.
It is thought that the cause of this trou
ble to night was the releasing of B>li Mu’-,
pby and Anthony Duffy, at 12 o’clock Inst
night. When released, they went right
back into the vicinity where they had com
mitted their terrible crime and were seen
here to day. The people, fennng the pris
oners would appeal from the verdict of the
jury, and then, if the case waa sent back,
he state would Lrre no witn«s-;e%
verc determined there should be no escape,
for, beyond a doubt, they were guilty. This
is tne verdict of every citizen who heard tho
testimony.
There was no whisky in the crowd, and
they were under strict discipline. The only
demonstration wasa deafening yell and the
discharge of firearms when the five wer©
launched into eternity. No outsider was
allowed to approach the sa ne until ail tho
uegroes were pronounced dead, and then it
was announced that the man who cut them
down*did so at his peril.
When I went to the square the second
time, I had no.trouble getting to the court
house, and examined the bodies. They are
all suspended from the small verandah,
close together. Higgins and Eider, iu their
death struggle, got their ropes twisted and
they now hang seemingly from the same
rope.
This makes ten men lynched in Spring-
fit-id within the last two years, two of
them, Sadler and Pearson, it is believed,
were innocent. Rumgay was killed for
shooting a young lady, who is now alive,
but the last seven were guilty and deserved
‘heir fate, and I believe a jury would havo
said so had they been given a few more
hours’ time; but an outraged community
could wait no longer, and to-night put to
death the perpetrators of the most horrible
crime that ever blackened the record* of
our county.

A Scheme or K< clnimlug Cnv-1 hint of
the Ntaia or Florid*.
Philadelphia, February 22—An im
mense transaction involving tbe- reclama
tion of 12,000,000 acres of’land, or one-ihird
of one of the states of the union, has been
undertaken by a compauy of this city.
About one-third of the state of
Florida is a . huge swamp termed
“The Everglades,” a dark, impeuetra-
able unknown region. No white mau
has ever fully explored it, and all that is
known of it is that it is a great swatnp with
a number o! lakes, and here and there
islands upon which roam wild beasts, bnt
withal a place of wonderfully luxuriant
vegetation. On its outskirts a few misera
ble human beings, a mongrel race ol while,
Indian and negro blood, manage to exist in
a state of barbarism. These ar«-t.he
descendants of the unconquered Creeks and
SeminoIe8 who retreated to the fastnesses
of the swamp before the United Suites
army. The pn ject of reclaim! g this re
gion bas been talked of for years and it has
lot g been contidered feasible by many
eminent engineers. Under a contract with
the stateof Florida a Philadelphia company
is about undertaking this great scheme.
Tho leading man in the enterprise is Ham
ilton Disston, a young gentleman of energy
am),ample fortune and the head of the saw
manufacturing firm of Henry Disston &
Sons. Afrsociated with him are ex-Sheri IF
William H. Wright, W C Parsons. Whit
man H Drake, A. B Linderman, all of this
city; I Coryell, of Floridfi, and several oth
ers. Under the agreement already made
with the state the company is required to
begin surveys within 60days, and within six
months to put a force equal to 100 men at
work, and continue the work until the land
is reclaimed. It is proposed to dram the
land by a canal from Lake Okeechabee to
the Caloosakatchee river, which emptie i
into the gulf of Mexico. Another canal
may also be constructed to tbe east, tapping
the Su Lucie river, which flows into the
Atlantic. These canals will entirely drain
the swamp and from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000
acres of the richest laud in the worid will
be reclaimed. The company will receive
for the work one half oi the land recovered,
and it is expected that* this will repay all
expenditure of money which may be made
in tho work.
