'Gone Granberry, of the Hamilton Jour nal, was In the city yesterday. We anx iously asked him about the crops in his county. He said he did not know about the crops, but he knew tho roads about Hamilton were first-rate; for he had taken a buggy ride with a young lady, a day or two ago, and drove fourteen miles before he thought of stopping. A young man in tills oftloe, who is fond of picnics, mite societies, nickel clubs, choral unions, and ladles wherever they are, says that “’Gene" is bad off. Much sympathy is expressed for him, but none for the young lady. That’s curious. New and I’rotty Torchon Laces at Kyle’h. ( AIIII OF THANKS. The members of ihe “Scrub” B. B.

AND REC REATION ! The Muscogee Picnic was a grand suc cess—made so by its accomplished head. Mr. Willie Swift. The trip down the river to Oswlcheo was made In throe hours, and we were piloted by Mr. Chas. Brockway, one of the most skilled pilots who ever guided a steamer upon the waters of the Chattahoochee. The danco was the most prominent feature of tho trip down; and the music was soul-inspiriting, made by the Colored String Band of live musicians. The young ladies put on their most charm ing attractions, and contributed in the highest degree to tho social feature of the occasion. The dance began from the wharf and continued until our landing ut Oswlchee bluff. Those who did not parti cipate In the dance, spent, the happy hours in social converse and love-making. We arrived at our point of destination at XI o’clock, a. M., and in less than half an hour the platform for dancing was put down, and the merry dunce continued un til 1 o’clock l>. m., after which the friends and families partook of tho rich feast of fat things and delicacies which had been prepared for the inner man. Delicious ice lemonade was furnished in abundance (free) by Mr. William Swift, of which all drank freely. After dinner the dance con tinued until Bp. m., when the blow of the steamer’s whistle announced the hour of our departure homeward. There was an amusing Incident which occurred—which I trust my friend Jack son will pardon me for the allusion— though partially true. Mr. Swift desirous of treating tho local editor of the Enquirer Sun with becoming respect, induced him to drink iul libitum of his elegant lager on Ice. Not being an accustomed lnabibor of that delicious beverage, he drank more freely than ho was conscious of and was foroed to take a state room to recover from its exhilirating effect, which he did tn a few hours of sleep. Ido not say my hanored friend was the least boosey—and wili leave my readers to draw their own inference. The company danced from Oswlchee to Columbus, with but few min utes intermission, and I will say of a truth, that the dancers, both ladies and gentlemon, possess the most wonderful powers of endurance of any company of (lancers that I ever saw, upon the lioor. It was a happy day to all, full of pleasura blo enjoyment, nevor to be forgotten, and was not marred by a single accident. The best of order was preserved, and the genoral deportment was unexceptionable We would specially desire to return our grateful thanks to Mr. Willie Swift for the pleasant and delightful boat ex cursion—and to Capt. Brockaway, our skillful and most agreeable pilot, in safe ly carrying and returning us to our homes—and to the officers and en gineers of the boat for their considerate care of our comfort and safety. Last, but not least, would wo express our grateful acknowledgements to Messrs. A. C. Flew ellen, Homer and Clark for their consider ation In having the grounds so neatly and cleanly prepared for our entertain ment. The ladles and gentlemen of Os wieheo honored us with their presence, of which we are proud to make mention. Thus has closed one of the happiest epochs in our social festivltives—which we shall be most happy to have revived a year hence. One of the Party. THE tOUIVU ELECTION. It is pretty hot weather to be raking around in the sun and dust, but a good deal of it was done yesterday by gentle men wiio have the public weal very much at heart. We did not see muoh of the candidates themselves, but wo saw a host of good strong talkers, who are deter mined to do something for somebody be tween now and the election. Just who will get the benefit of the most active workers, is yet untold; but it will all come out in time. Bo look out! But to all wanting Tickets for them selves or their friends, we say come to the Times office and have them printed. Arretted.

TANARUS., May 15,1877. ikrnr Hegulun:— “Thla Is the place 1 long have sought and mourned huoause I found It not," or rather It Is the poetoffleo for Glut tie's Cam)) and that is about the same thing. Where did I leave you? At Mo hawk Station “if the court knows itsolf, and she thinks at the present wilting she do.” The GUa (pronounced he-l) Valley was to be slightly touched on, I believe. Very good. I went up this valley 250 miles, from Its mouth to Flor ence or most of that distance in the val ley, for at some points the stage road leaves the valley and strikes out Into the desert In order to shorten tho distance. The valley the whole distance, except at some few places where tho mountains close In to the road, forming canons, and at other points where the river sinks to reappear miles below, averages from one to eight miles broad, nearly all of which is capable of being Irrigated at a slight expense. The land wherever wa ter is placed upon It, pro duces wonderfully. I saw in ono field at Mi hawk growing iu the rankest pro fusion, barley, oats, wheat, clover, beans, cabbages, turnips and all kinds of vege table-, alfalfa. In fact evorylhlng that was planted upon it. Sugarcane Immense In proportion, rewards the tiller of the soil for his labor. The valley cannot bo said to bo settled ; only a few,very lew ranchos upon it. Not more than half a dozen in the Ilrst hundred miles from Yuma. This vast valley, leaving out these few tracts, is at the present time nothing hut adesert. In a few years time it will be a blooming Eden. If my tastes ran In the direction of farming, right in tho valley of tho Gila would I settle down. As it now is, I would not give one acre of irrigable land as rich as that is, for ten in a country depend ent on tho rainfall. Out of the valley on both sides is what now is and always will be, until the seasons materially change, mountains and plains bare of grass, on which, only at rare intervals, tho rain ever falls. Nine-tenths of the land in Arizona, if not a much greater proportion, is a des ert, Incapable of being made to ever yield any return to the farmer. In its moun tains lies its wealth. Little of that wealth is known; for, until the last few years, it was almost certain death to go five miles from a Government post. Tha dreaded Apache held the land as his own at the [mint of his arrow, and bidding defi ance to all. They defied the power of the Government to subdue them; they shot everything in reach—and all were in reach who ever entered their lines. The Apache never spared. Now, most of these llerce warriors are on the Reserves—placed there by the effort of one min:, General Crook, of the United States Army. The country Is so isolated, that he was beyond tire reach of the Indian Agents—those meddling scoundrels—and he took the Hold against the Indians. All captured with arms In their hands were stretched up by the neck to a mesquit tree; and the only terms given to those who delivered up their arms was to serve as allies with him—and by making Indian light Indian he quieted the whole Territory. I left Mohawk Station on Sunday morn ing at 4 o’clock; tho stage came in loaded down with passengers. I tried it inside for twenty miles, got suffocated with dust and heat- being three on a seat; and at the breakfast hour I crawled on top, and there I staid all that day and uight and next day; covered myself up in my over coat, and slept as well as if I was in a Palace Car; the rolling motion of the stage being soon accustomed to. Three passengers on top besides myself—all gay fellows—been on the frontier nearly all their lives, and we had a rattling time. At one place we left the Gila and cut across the desert 45 miles. Notone drop of wa ter in that distance. Had in six horses, and without change we went through at a rapid pace. On this desert a few stunted brush and tho everlasting cactus—the dryer the soil tho higher they grow—some of them being 25 feet high and 1% feet in diameter. On the road from Yuma to Florence the character of the country is pretty much the same—mountains to the north and mountains to the south, crossing at times the foothills of the latter. Nearly the whole of this section has been torn into fragments in long ages past by earth quakes and volcanoes, anil you still see traces of the fiery lava torrent that swept everything before it. In tho valley, a grim and ghastly sight. Out of the val-1 loy, not much better, except where the hand of man has reclaimed tha desert wastes by the power of water. Monday evening late wo roiled Into Florence, coveted with dust. Florence Is a place ol 500 inhabitants, half or whom are Mexicans. The town has suffered Irom ravages ot small pox recently and there were several cases still on hand. It isbuiltof sun-dried bricks, (adobe) lies in a rich valley on the south side of the Gila. The valley is well irrigated and crops are fine. It will, in time, I think, be a considerable place. I stayed there one night, which was longer than I wished, on account of small pox; and how 1 got from there, I shall reserve for my next. Yours, Ac., J. F. ATLANTA NOTES.
