THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, OCTOBER 4, 1881. DOWN TO THE SEA. THE CAMPAIGN AROUND ATLANTA DISCUSSED. Aa Anelont Litter or General Joseph E. Johnston Brought Out Which Shod* Some Now Light on the Subjoot???The New York Tribune???* Comment* Upon the Seme. Etc. Macon, August 13,18M.???My Dear Sir: I have had displeasure to receive roar friendly letter. The aeasoiw assigned for my removal arc, ???failing to ar- ??est the advance of the enemy to the vicinity of Atlanta, fur In the Interior of Georgia,??? nnd "not ???expressing confidence that I could defeat or repel him." After the battlca of the Wilderness, General Lee adopted precisely the course which I followed And gainer] great glory by it. He fell luck as far as I had done, and much more rapidly???or rather lean ???slowly. The enemy also penetrated much more ???deeply and extensively into Virginia limn into Georgia, i have never known sensible men to re gard confident language as evidence of merit. A few days before my removal General Bragg ???assured me that he had maintained in itichmond that Sherman???s army was stronger than Grant???s. It is very certain tlmt General Lee???*course has satisfied die government and country und added to his great ;Slory. Tile relative strength of Sherman???s army and mine made the rhunces of victory, in ease we at tacked, in hi* favor. At Dal toil he had a fortified jmss close In his rear us n place of refuge in ease of mishap. In moving south he advanced fortifying, and therefore always had an ???intrenched jaxltlon close, behind him. Victory ???could not have tn-eu decided for us under such cir cumstances, while defeat would have been ruin ous. We therefore kept near him to take advan tage of any exposure of himself that he might innku, but he made none of a general diameter, such as would have Justified battle, and repelled hisalmost ???daily partial assaults with trifling loss, while he on aill such occasions suffered heavily. We fell Isuk ???before him ninety-three miles in seventy-two days. The sum of our losses was ntsiut 10,000. HU we es timated at five times us much???from the opin ions of experienced officers, re|s??rts of prison ers taken daily, und statements of northern papers. This course, if continued, would soon ???have so reduced the ilisparity of numbers ns to give ns the advantage in buttle; and if we could have ???defeated the enemy on this side of the Chuttahno- chec, his destruction was certain. I therefore thought, and still think, my plan of openitiou correct. We are living here quietly and comfortably, in spite of the exoessive heat. Give my regards to Whiting, and believe me yours very truly, J K Johnston. Comment by the New York Tribune. Ati old letter from General Joseph K Johnston, late of the rebel army, has just licen published giving his reasons for conducting the Atlanta cam paign of 1M>1 wholly on the Fabian policy. The letter was written very shortly after the close of that -campaign, nnd is valuable not only because freshly written while the facts were clear in his memory, but for the reason that it was indited before the full results of the eampuign in Sherman???s march to the sea were reaped or could tie foreseen. It is, more- ???over, invaluable in tlmt it clearly points out toeon- slant dangers to which Sherman???s army was ex posed, and the great difficulties which it had to ???overcome. It is a capital summary of what was probably the most difficult nud the least known cam|Hiigu of nil the war. It was characterized by no great battle: it was a campaign of mumeuvers, and none of the frequent combats of divisions and corps of the ???armies which were brought into contact by think -extensions nnd night marches attained to the digni ty of a pitched battle. It was a constant fuslludc of ???smull arms and duels of artillery for over a hundred ???days???seventy-two General Johnston says, hut he ???speaks only of the time previous to his removal. For the reason, probably, tlmt its salient points are not many and its incidents not market), the campaign ???of Atlanta has never Imd its duo meed of praise. The march to the sen was a holiday par.uk- com pered to the advance on Atlanta. Its only combat was the assault of llnzon on the fort at Snrnumih, -and tlmt was simply recreation for his old veterans; while from the first conduit of Mcl???herson's eorjis with Johnston???s rear at Ik-seen, until the thinking forces of our right wing literally rati over Hardee???s ???corps twenty miles la-low Atlanta und forced its ???evacuation, there were at least ten minor cngiige- xnents, each of which was more se rious than the single one before Savannah. During the hundred days??? advance on Atlanta the soldiers slept on their nrm.s, and the pickets lived in gopher holes, above which they nattily ???durst raise their heads for fear of the enemy???s sharpshooters. On the march to the sea they car ried their muskets at ease; the march was much wlmt we now call a gons-you-please ntliiir, and gopher holes were exchanged for the softest hods in the fairest mnusious of the south. While there was a constant firing of the pickets du ring the advauee, on the march to the sea tin- nnny did not fire a round to the man, un less at chicken or turkeys or like adherents ???of the enemy. Sherman in his advance strictly excluded nil citizens from ids camp and ???even along his line of supplies, shipping actual resi- ???dents to the north by thousands; while on the march to the sea his army was followed by a great train of (reedmen and women, mid almost every soldier had a body servant. It was ??????bacon and hard tack??? on the advauee: they lived on the fat of the Sami on the march. The advance was ntthe rate ofu mile n day through mountain fastnesses the whole ???way: on tne march the soldiers went at a swinging pace twenty miles a day over plains as level almost ???as our northern prairies. One was n campaign of ???daily lighting nnd nightly funerals; the other n hol iday of fun nnd frolic by both night nud day; and ???on the march the only signs of war they saw were ???the destruction of bridges, the flames of storehouses, wiAflic devastation of the railw ays. Yerthe frolic of the march lives in song and story; " the death-like struggle of the advance is hnrdly told in history; nnd its true history will probably never be written, partly because it is difficult to write; the details nre so monotonous, the incidents so few, nnd so disconnected. There is nothing in spiring to lie mid in telling of n stealthy movement -of n mile or two miles to the right or left, to force the ???enemy to abandon liis works, only to find him the next day intrenched in new ones. For these miaous the true history of this campaign is never likely to be written. There nre many points of ???grave interest connected with these two campaigns which w e should like to see settled as definitely and ???elearly ns General Johnston???s brief letter explains liis well defined policy of defence in the Atlanta ???campaign. The Cost of the President's Illness. Troy Times. The amount of these bills was the next topic dis- ???oussed, and Secretary Brown, after figuring up for a moment, estimated that the cost of the president???s illness would not 1h* far short of $250,000. The doc tors, he thought, with the exception of Barnes nnd AVotdward, who as army surgeons are ex|>ected to -attend the president tvs part of their official duties, should receive at least $100,000, nnd perhaps much more??? if the convalescence is along one, ns it is now likelv to be. Dr Reyburu lias been in attendance sixiv eight days, which at ??100 a day would entitle him??? to 56.800. Dr Bliss will probably receive about ???$25,000, and Drs Hamilton and Agnew???sbill will not, it is thought, be more than S15.0U0 apiece, unless the ease should keep them busy for mouths longer. It must Ik 1 remembered that the professional for- ???tunes of all these men are made by their connection ???with this ease, and there is not a surgeon in the countrv who would not attend the president day And night for months for the mere honor and repu tation of the thing. ???A singular thing," said Mr Brown, ???and one which indicates the feeling of the people in the mutter, is that we experience the ???greatest difficulty iu getting bills from any one. Even persons who render services which are usually paid for at once, such as furnishing food, carriages, medicines, instruments, etc, refuse to send in their bills, and I do not know- of a single bill yet sent in <or services or goods rendered to the president dur ing his illness." become dirty, and sometimes are lost. A lady customer of mine Io.-t a very valuable diamond after jmsscssing it eight years. If she had been in the habit of giving the gem any attention she would have noticed that a set ting of eighteen-carat gold will wear out in time and lose its grip on tiic stone. The large solitaire diamond is now preferred to the clus ter. Few diamonds are .now worn by gentle men, except in the case of young men anxious for display. Here and there a gen tleman will wear solitaires on hissliirt Iiosoin, hut if he has good taste he will lie careful that they arc small, or he will be taken for a gam bler. It is astonishing how much money is sometimes represented in the diamond worn by Iotlies on a ???swell??? occasion. It is a com mon thing in New York society to see 810,000 or $20,000 in diamonds on a lady???s jierson. Mrs. John Jacob Astor has been known to wear SuO.OOt) worth of diamonds at an evening re ception, nnd I should suv that the diamonds wont by Mrs. TV. H. Vanderbilt at the garden party I???spoke of were worth fully that amount of money. Mrs. Mackayjwifeof the ???bonntizc- king.??? once offered to buy the famous ???Re gent??? diamond, the most valuable in the world. It is valued at a mere million, hut the French government wouldn't sell it."???New York'Tribune. The l???aMlon for Dtaaaond*. "Are there more diamonds worn now than -ever before in this country?" "I should say so, most decidedly. I have been in the business over thirty years, and I never knew such a rage for the Stones as exists to-dav. Last week I attended a garden party at the Grand Union hotel at Saratoga, and I ???saw bushels of them. This is the only way to ???describe the number of valuable diamonds -worn there, and most of them were tine stones. Xearlv every woman there had big solitaires in rings or earrings. You see the finest diamonds are worn solitaire studs, rings and earrings, while for brace lets and hairpins an inferior stone may be used, as they are not so conspicuous. 1 no ticed one thing, however, at the Grand Union ???nine-tenths of the diamonds were not clean Dust settles on everything, and it is astonish ing how little care a woman will give to her diamonds.

New York, September 31???The mourning dresses for Mrs Garfield, her daughter. Miss Mollic Garfield, and Mrs und Miss Rockwell were made up by Lord & Taylor, of New York, in the remarkably short time of two hours nud a half. The dresses arc of the finest mourning material, called Henrietta, trimmed with the finest English crape, but made up, ns befits the solemn occasion and Mrs Garfield???s well-known dislike of ostentation, in the simplest ityle nnd most excellent taste. The principal of Mrs i airfield's drosses may be saiil to consist of deep folds of crape, the underskirt being trimmed with a fold eighteen inches deep, and the over skirt, which is of a very plain and unpretentious nature, with a deep fold to match the under skirt. The waste is cut in basque shade, and trimmed with deep revets of cram;, nud with collars mid culls to mutch. Mrs Garfield???s lint is a simple round bonnet nmdc of folds of tine English crape, having a deep, rich veil of the same material falling in graceful folds over the head. The inside of the hat is finished with a simple widow???s border. Miss Motile Garfield's dress is a plain, girlish, cos tume suited to her tender vents. It is composed of a skirt of Henrietta, trimmed on the lower part with a box-pleating three Inches deep, which is headed with a row of five tucks. There is no over skirt, but a simple scarf drapery of crape, finislied vith a bow on the left side. The dress is com pleted by a shirred waist set into a yoke confined i n the waist by n handsome licit and bow of crape. Miss Moliie???s hat is a ilare made of very rich mounting silk, with facings trimmed to match. The hat is finished with heavy cni)>c bauds nnd bow. Mrs. Rockwell???s dress is made of a very handsome imperial serge, plainly hut elegantly trimmed. Miss Rockwell???s, like that of Miss Mol lie, is of Henrietta cloth, trimmed with a row of knife- plentings round the underskirt. There is a soft drains) open overskirt, with deep mourning fringe. Tile hats of Mrs. and Miss Rockwell are in keeping with their dresses. The outside wrappings of all the ladies are of the same materials as their dresses and without ornament. llow to Kill a Mosquito. Indianapolis Times. To kill a mosquito requires a combination i strategy and tactic.?. There must be the mind to conceive and the nerve to execute. There must be a rapidity of movement and promptness of action. In fact, it takes a high degree of military skill to kill a mosquito. Of course, no person ever tries to kill a mosquito in the air; or on the wing. This has been done, hut it is always attended by a great outlay of muscular effort and some danger... It is estimated that for every mosquito .killed on the wing there are 17,Ot53 inefficient passes or blows. Each of these passes or blows repre- sentjafeertain amount of wasted muscular etlor trough probably, to raise a weight of eleven tons through three feet in a minute, or, if con verted into heat, enough to melt three quarts of brass buttons in a quarter of an hour. Resides the power thus wasted by triking at ^mosquitoes in midair and miss ing them a person is verv apt to wrench his frame or injure himself in someway. A very estimable gentleman of this city hurt himself so badly in this way some three years ago that he has not been able since to put up a stove jtipe.or even carry water on wash day. A lady in a neighboring town made a dash at a fly ing musqnito last summer, while sitting near a second story window, and with such force that, missing the mosquito, she was precipitated out of the window, and only escaped serious injury by ^falling in the branches of a peach tree which, bv the way, has not borne any fruit since, it is plain, therefore, that it is not safe to attack mosqui toes while they are on the wing and in their native element as it were. Secretary of State Blaise Has His Blind Hade TJp to Go. and Postmaster-General James Has bnt a Slender Grip???The Cowardly Conduct of Gnlteau???He Quakes at Every Sound. SAYINGS OF GARFIELD. Washington, September 27.???It is stated here upon the authority of intimate friends of Secrctary Rlainc that he has j>osi lively determined to leave the cabinet at once, and will send his resignation to President Arthur in a few days, and will probably not return to Washington for some time. It is said that Secretary Blaine has no desire to remain in the cabinet, and that the affairs of the state department and routine of his duties are now painful to him, in view of his intimate relations with the late president. There is nothing, so it is said, Secretary Blaine holds, which requires his continuance at the head of the state department. A11 its affairs are in such a shape that a new man can take hold without any difficulty or embarrass ment. Those who claim to know of Secretary Blaine's intentions, say he expects President Arthur to constitute a new cabinet, nnd really thinks he ought to do so. Secretary Blaine ha? put a stop to the further construction of the fine resi dence he was building, and the site and building materials are for sale, which looks like he does not expect to reside in Washington in the future. It is contended here in some quarters that the legal term of Postmaster-General James will expire on the 10th of next month. The act of congress creating the office of j-ostmaster general provides that he shall hold office one month after the expira tion of the term of the president by whom he is ap pointed. As President Garfield died September 19, it is maintained by some that his term of office then ended, and that in one month from that date the term of Postmaster-General James will expire by Umitation. It Is just to General James to state that this view is only presented by the star route ring and its organizers and satelites, who want to gej the present postmaster general out of office, because of his vigorous prosecution of them. Un prejudiced legal minds hold that James???s term will not expire until a month after the term for which General Garfield was elected; but whatever may be the correct construction of tills law, it is not be lieved outside of the star route ring, that General James will retire from the cabinet, at least not be fore the star route prosecutions are concluded. It is not believed that President Arthur would be willing for James to retire while these prosecutions are pending. It is well-known that the postmaster general is too deeply interested in completing the work he began in this cause to retire willingly be fore it is done. THE TREMBLING ASSASSIN. Guitcau lias frequently boasted in jail that he would have eminent legal counsel to defend him. but lie would never give any information ns to whom he had in view. It now turns out that he was only indulging in exaggeration, of which he is fond. When informed by the district attorney, to day, that the grand jury would undoubtedly indict him next week and advised him to make prepara tions for his defense, he requested the district attor ney to telegraph to g his brother-in-law, Scoville, of Chicago, that he is compelled to fall back on liis relations. If no counsel is pro vided, the court will, of course, assign him counsel, though tliis may not be au easy task, as the lawyers here are all averse to apitearing In the light of Guitcnu???s counsel. None of them want to utter a wool that would tend to save his nock. Guitcau still clings tenaciously to the delusion tlmt if he can escape mob violence and get a trial before a court,he will be acquitted. Since he has learned of the death of President Garfield,he lius.on several oecatious,ex pressed gratification that his murderous work was accomplished, always siienking of it as the Lord???s will, and accompanying his remarks with the regret that his victim suffered so much. He pretends to expect that he will yet get the sympathy of the people. Iu conversation with one of the jail guards, last Friday, he raid, irrever ently, that he was ??? sure the American jico- lilc would, after President Garfield was buried, transfer their sympathy from that lump of clay (referring to the flead president) to him. He does not express of feel any remorse for his cowardly act, hut has great dread of mob violence. He has been in a constant state of fear since President Gar field died, nnd if he hears any unusual noise or steps of more than one jierson approaching his eeU, he endeavors to conceal himself under his bed. at the request of Guitean, sent n dispatch for the prisoner to his brother-in-law.

Among the great movements of this stirring pe- riod, few will attract greater attention this year or have a more important bearing on the future of our country than the International cotton exposition which will open at Atlanta, October 5th. It is to be an illustration of the progress this country has made in agriculture, manufactures, commerce, science and the arts during the live years that have passed since the Philadelphia centennial was closed to the public. Industrial enterprises in the form of exjiositions have become since that time factors of no mean importance to the business of the country- The ta???ople of the northwest have learned by the brilliant experience of our Chicago exposition and by the similar exhibitions that are nnnuully given in other great' centers to appreciate tlie value of these modern aids to all depart ments of industry and labor. But the Inter national exposition that will ojaui at At lanta. will he unlike any other this eountrv or the world has ever seen. It may be called sui generis for its uniqueness and peculiari ties. It was originnlly intended to promote the in terests of the cotton planters of the south, and the cotton mills and manufacturers of the rest of the country; but no sooner was the plan pre sented to the public than the wise heads of our commercial centers saw that it admitted of great development, and gave a long desired opportunity to place before the people of the south a complete licture of our diversified national industries, lirec'or General Kimball and his associates were the right men to appreciate this grand idea, and it was udopted. and arrangements made to carry it into practical effect. The railway companies of the United States are exponents ns well as leaders of, and more than any other class in this country believe in progress. The groat lines of the south raw at a very early day that the exposi tion would give them a chance to place I adore the capitalists of the world such a display of the natural resources of the regions which they traverse as would be likely to lead to numerous investments and to the development of the mines, and the utili zation of the forests, of that vast and richly endowed region. They, therefore, made arrangements with the director general to furnish them witli space on the exposition groundsill which they could exhibit collections of minerals, lumber, forage plants, agri cultural produets and everything else found adja- ???ent to their lines, which would support human icings and furnish the raw materials for their em ployment. So soon as this plan was made public it excited universal attention and interest???other roadsjoined with those that had conceived the plan, and, asa result, the entire country south of the Kith parallel will be comprised in these displays. Everything north of the gulf of Mexico and the Mexican territory between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, south of the line named that is worthy a place iu the exposition will be there: and all these exhibits will be so skillijilly arranged nnd classified that whoever sees them wiU he able to tell at a glance where anything in which he is especially in terested can l>e found. Nothing like this has ever !adore been attempted, nnd we nre not surprised to learn that some of the heaviest capitalists of this country und Europe have determined to visit the exposition nnd toTnuke the railway exhibits a mat ter of careful nnd thorough investigation. After the battle of arms comes the battle of his tory. For the noblest man that lives there still remains a conflict. I would rather be beaten in right than succeed in wrong. Present evils always seem greater than those that never come. Growth is better than permanence and perma nent growth is better than them all. It is one of the precious mysteries of sorrow that it finds solace in the unselfish thought. Statesmanship consists rather in removing the causes than in punishing or evading results. Ideas are the great warriors of the world, and a war that has no ideas behind it is simply brutality. Eternity alone will reveal to the human race its debt of gratitude to the peerless name of Washing ton. I doubt if any man equalled Samuel Adams in formulating and uttering the fierce, clear and inex orable logic of the revolution. Throughout the whole web of national existence we trace the golden thread of human progress to ward the higher and better esttac. Occasion may be the bugle call that summons an army to Imttle, but the blast of a bugle can never make soldiers or win victories. It is as much the duty of all good men to protect and defend the reputation of worthy public servants as to detect the public rascals. An act of bad fa!th on the part of the slate or mu uicipal corporation, like poison in the blood, will transmit it curse to succeeding generations. Bad faith on the part of an individual, a city, or even a state, is a small evil in comparison with the calamities which foUow bafl faith on the part of a sovereign government. If there be any one thing upon this earth that mankind love and admire better than another it is a brave man; it is a man whodares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil. ???We should do nothing inconsistent with the 3 >lrit and genius of our institutions. We should o no nothing for revenge, but evetything for security; nothing for the past, everything for the present and future. Catarrh of the Bladder.

THE ASSASSIN???S JAIL LIFE. lie la On Sick Diet???Uneasy and Apprehensive??? Afraid of tho Soldiers-???The Guards Detailed to Protect Him. Washington Star, September 23. It may be stated in explanation of the al lowance" of toast to Guiteau that, although now in better health than lie lias been for some time, he is threatened with an attack of malaria, and several days ago Dr. Noble Young, the physician to the jail, ordered him to be plaeetfon sick diet. The ordinary food for the prisoner consists of fish, half a loaf of bread, potatoes, and a quart of coffee for breakfast at 8 o???clock, and fresh or salt beef, soup, jaitatocs andcom-bread for dinner,served at 3 o???clock. For sick died, such as Guiteau is now receiiing, toast and milk, or tea, is al lowed at both meals. As stated yesterday, he objected to liis toast. The guard, sjieaking ironically, said: ???If vou don???t like the way it is fixed, go otit in the kitchen and fix it yourself. You can go there.??? Guiteau looked at him a moment, and, thinking that he was in earnest, shrugged his shoulders, and said; ???Oil, no,??? very emphatically. Of course Guiteau would not be allowed to enter the kitchen for a moment, or, indeed, to leave his cell or corridor. Yesterday he was uneasy all day, becoming apprehensive at the least sound tliat some one was coming to take him out, and he frequently called for General Crocker to ask what was going on outside, and to ascertain whether or not a crowd was gathering. On the relief coming down yesterday about 8 o???clock Guiteau fairl trembled. During the afternoon his cell door was opened so that he was at liberty to exercise in tlie corridor, and four or five times he came out, but lie evidently ivas not in a con dition of mind to exercise, and spent hut a few moments at a time in tlie corridor. While fearing some outside parties, lie is equally afraid of tlie soldiers, and indeed he does not like to see one.??? As lie is at present confined, he cannot see outside of the jail, unless he stands on liis bed and this lie never does now; even the sight of the marshes of tlie eastern branch having no attractions for him. The guards in special charge of him are three of the strongest men of tlie force, and one of them is somewhat over six feet in height. This one seems to be a favorite with Guiteau. Thinking that the stronger tlie guard tlie more secure he will be, some days since he requested that this one be detailed for his especial protection. Last night he re tired about 10 o???clock and slept ordinarily well, being awakened, however, whenever the guards made their rounds. NEW JERSEY WANTS HIM. The Question of Gnlteau???* Trial Now Prominent. Red Bank, N J, September 27???The legal authori ties of Monmouth county have addressed the attor ney general of the state and the attorney general of the United States upon the propriety of filingcounts before the grand jury of Monmouth county, at its meeting next Tuesday, against Guitcau for the mur der of President Garfield. It is held that the waiver of the coroner's inquest by the state docs not de prive the grand jury of this county of its rtower to indict and try the criminal; also, that the criminal law of New Jersey does not disqualify a citizen from serving on the jury simply because he has expressed an opinion on the case to be tried. If Attorney-General Stoekston, of A'ew Jersey, and Attorney-General MacYeagh consider that the trial can beheld here the prisoner will be brought to New Jersey. The prosecutor of pleas, Honorable John Lanning, of Monmouth, has de cided to tile before the grand jury an indictment against Guiteau simply as a precautionary measure so that if the Washington authorities deem it best to have the trial in New Jersey, there shall be no gap left for the escape of Guitean by legal quibbles under the law of the district of Columbia. Galt can's Indictment. Washington, September 26???District-Attorney Corkhill to-day called on Guiteau and informed him that his case would bo presented to the grand jury next Monday, and that his indictment would probably follow speedily.

It is very desirable that North Carolina should put her best forward on nil occasions, bnt particularly so when there will be an immense crowd gathered to see the productions of the south. Such an exposition as takes place in Atlanta this year has never before been held in the southern states. It will be second only to the great Philadelphia centennial.

There is a good deal of interest manifested these days on tlie jiart of the American peo ple relative to the matter of separate sleeping cars for tlie two sexes. It is a move in the right direction, and we hope it will win. As it is now, no gentleman traveling alone is safe. Several months ago, entirely alone, we traveled from Laramie to Chicago and hack, making tlie round trip witli no escort what ever. Our wife was detained at home, and that entire journey was made with no one to whom we could look for protection. When we returned our hair had turned perfectly white with the horror of those dreadful nights. * There was one woman from Philadelphia, whose name we will not mention, and who rode all the way between Omaha and Chicago in our car. Almost the first thing when we started from Omaha, she began to make ad vances toward us by asking us if we would hold her lunch basket while she went after a drink. She also asked for our knife to jiecl an orange. These things look small and insig nificant, but in tlie light of later develop ments they are of vital importance. That night we saw with horror that the woman???s section was adjoining our own. We asked the conductor if this could not be changed; but he laughed coldly and told us to soak our head. It would be impossible to descrilie the hor- ror and apprehension of that dreadful night All through its vigils we suffered on till near morning, when tired nature yielded, and we fell into a sleep. There we lay, fair and beautiful, in the soft gray of approaching day, thousands of miles from our home, and, less than ten feet away, a great horrid woman from Pennsylvania, to whom we had not even been introduced. How we could have slept so soundly under the circumstances, we are yet unable tp tell; hut, after perhaps twenty minutes of slum ber we saw, above the footboard of our berth, and peering over at us, the face of that woman. With a wild hound we were on our feet in the aisle of the car. Tlie other berths had all disappeared but Ours. Tlie other passengers were sitting quietly in their seats, and it was half past nine o???clock. The woman from Pennsylvania was in the day coach. It was only a horrid dream. But supposing it had been reality! And any man who travels alone is liable to be in- suitedat any time. We do not care for lux ury In traveling. All we want is the assurance that we are safe. The experience that we have narrated above is only one in a thousand. Did you ever note the care-worn look of the man who is traveling alone? The wild, hunted expression on the countenance, and the horrible appre hension that is depicted there? You may talk about various causes that are leading men downward to early graves, but tlie nervous strain induced by the fear that while they are taking out tlieir false teeth or buttoning their suspenders, prying eyes are looking over the footboards of their berths, is constructing more new-made graves than con sumption or the Ute war.

Memphis Avalanche. Rev. W. E. Boggs/ formerly a citizen of Memphis, has written an able jKiper which is printed in the October number of the Inter national Review. It is a reply to Mr. Edward Atkinson???s pajier on the solid south published in the March number of the same magazine. Mr. Atkinson said: What then has been meant by the term ???solid south??? in common speech? Geographically it in cluded all the states south of the parallel of 36?? 3ff, or what is known os Mason and Dixon???s line, and east of the Rocky mountains,together with the state of Missouri. Industrially, it included cotton, su- g ir. rice and tobacco, which were, with very limited lit conspicuous exceptions, examples of all that was??? wasteful and improvident, and it included manufacturing and mechanic arts developed only in a most limited degree. Mentally, it expressed a habit of intolerance In thought pro moting violence in action, the latter leading to the frequent crime of homicide and the folly of the duel; it mistook for what it called chivalry that brute courage which has no re spect for human life, and it substituted a jealousy of the independent thought and action of other men for a sentiment of honor, of the true nature of which sentiment it had no conception. Morally, it descended to a depth of baseness which to-day is hard to be conceived. It permitted the chasing of men with bloodhounds, the Hogging of naked wo men before tlie eyes of men and boys, the breeding of human live-stock, and the sale even of the very children of those who engaged in the nefarious traffic. Of course there were in dividuals who furnished exceptions to these charac teristics, but they were only exceptions, even if more numerous than those who enforced tne rule: nud the representatives of these exceptions would have been as powerless to control their several com munities as the reformers of the north were power less, until the passive war of which these character istics were but the outward expression culminated in tlie active war by which they were swept out of existence. Politically, the term ???solid south??? in cluded only the bourbon idea of the section which it covered geographically. This bourbon idea was that all men are not born free, but are bom unequal in tlieir rights; and it was the function of the privileged few to govern the incapable many. It included those men who, though residing in the northern states, were foreign to them, nnd who as ???dough-faces??? and ???copperheads,??? did the dirty work of their southern masters???the same class who of late years, by biking advantage of the popular meaning of the word ???democrat,??? and perverting it to base pur poses, have misled tlie masses of ignorant und un thinking voters to the great danger of the country and to the misgovemment of the great cities which they infest. The very necessity of the solid south before the war degraded southern men who possessed the ability of statesmen to the mean level of being advocates of a national crime, and kept them in bonrttige to a system which they knew to be base. Soon after the publication of ???Unde Tnm???sCnbin,??? two friends of the writer, a distinguished publicist and Ills wife, took tea at tlie house of Senator Pres ton, of South Carolina. . After tea the bilk of the two ladies turned upon the book. The senator, ordinarily a man of extreme and fastidious courtesy, gradually became excited, until at last he burst forth: ???Yes! Mrs L, we???ve rend???Uncle Tom???s Cabin,???nnd, by God! I swear it is true. I can match every incident in it out of my own ex perience.??? Thus the convictions of the wan burst forth ill spite of himself, and proved all his public acts to be governed by no principle, and only con trolled by a base necessity. Mr. Boggs characterizes this indictment ???as wholesale slander of the living and the dead, propounded by Mr. Atkinson in good faith, under the "prepossession that southern slavery was by the necessity of the case synonyme of for all that is dishonest, cruel and base, contaminating everything that came within the wide sweep of its baleful shadow.??? Mr. Boggs asserts that there is no alienation between tlie jioorer and richer whites in the south as has licen charged. A hardier, braver and more independent class of men never lived than the poor whites of tlie south. Individuality, proud assertion of personal rights, even under the stern dis cipline of the military code, was a peculiarity of tlie confederate infantry, seven out of ten of whom were lion-slaveholders. He says the south is not ???solid,???, because of the latent secession feeling. Tlie secession idea was abandoned when tlie south laid down its arms. He ascribes the solidity of the south to tlie dread of a conservative people to tlie inroads of the dominant party upon the constitution, and the shock to southern judgment and preju dices by the wholesale enfranchisement of the blacks.??? In fact, the most permanent source tlie pressure to keep the south solid is the problem of the negro race ami tlie elements introduced by negro citizenship. However, says Mr. Boggs: ???Time, the great healer, is by degrees arranging this source of annoyance and irritation.??? Mr. Atkinson intentionally pictures tlie south of slaVery in tlie darkest shades in order, as he says, to make tlie contrast greater between it and the new south which lie pictures in glow ing colors. But Mr. Boggs considers that this is making romance of history. As tlie first fruits of personal liberty Mr. Atkin son points to the steadily increasing crops of cotton for sixteen years, while so' good an authority as Mr. S. M. Inman, if Georgia, de clares the chief causes for this increase to he: 1. Increase in population in the cotton grow ing states. 2. Tlie increased price stimulating production. 3. More perfect . :hiethods of collecting statistical information of the aggregate crop. 4. The discovery of South Carolina phosphates and the more general use of commercial manures, hastening the maturity of the plant and ex tending the area <??f cultivation northward. 5. Tlie opening of new lands in tlie southwest, largely increasing the acreage of cotton culti vation. fi. Tlie increase in cotton culture has no more than kept pace with wheat and other crops in the north. Mr. Boggs finds 9 refutation of Mr. Atkin son???s harsh judgment as to southern brutal ity toward tiie negro, by calling liis attention to" tlie fact that ???we who went to the front confided our helpless families, our aged pa rents. wives and children, to the carte of tlie slaves, who never, in one single instance, arc recorded as haring deceived us or betrayed the trust.??? Mr. Atkinson can see nothing good in that ???sum of all villainies,??? slavery, and hence he makes all his facts to suit his theory. There is no discrimination in his sweeping denun ciation of tlie old south, and lienee the vul nerability of liis paper to so keen a con troversialist as Dr. Boggs. ???There was no organized industry, 110 art, no science, no literature the south,??? exclaims Mr. Atkinson. But he affords the reader a chance to breathe, by adding: ???But this record is no longer a faith ful picture of tlie present time.??? While frankly yielding tiic palm of literary merit to New England, Dr. Boggs mentions numerous southern statesmen, artists and poets whose works will never die. And as a further illus tration of tlie fact that the literary and artis tic inferiority of the south was not due to slavery, he points to the potential literatures of the???world???the Hebrew- the Greek, and the Roman, which were produced by slave-hold ing nations.

The cotton exposition of next month at Atlanta bids fair to be one of the most important display* since the centennial exhibition. The people of the cotton states have been roused to an extraordinary degree of interest iu its success, and are leaving rothlng undone which nui contribute to' it. Not onlv the staple itself, and the liieatisof preparing it. will be shown, but every kind of tool and machine used in its cultivation and its manufacture will be exhibited, together with manufactured cotton goods of every sort and grade. The exhibition will be especially valuable, as showing tlie people of those states what they may do to make their cotton cr>n> far more profitable to themselves than it now is as exported to other localities for manufacture. We have faith in the future of Georgia alia South Caro lina as the centers of this great industry.
