RISING FAWN, GEORGIA.
THURSDAY, JUNE 1,1879
The Situation.
Upon Governor Colquitt’s recent trip
to Brooklyn, where he went to address
the Sunday School Union, he met
with a very cordial reception. He was
urged to fill Beecher’s pulpit, as also
the Brooklyn Tabernacle, presided over
hy Dr. Talmage. Of these people the
Governor says:
“I tell you, 1 cannot be deceived as
to my estimate of those people. They
want peace and harmony just as much
as we do. They may be misled by their
politicians and misrepresented by their
papers, but I tell you that at tin heart
they are sympathetic and harmonious.
There was no misunderstanding the
heartiness and the unanimity with
which they applauded everything that
.alluded in the slightest manner to a
complete national reconciliation and a
complete peace of the sections. The
Republican leaders are, in my opinion
making a fatal mistake in basing their
schemes upon the belief that ihe sec
tional feeling still exist or that it can he
fanned into life again.
Whenever the Northern mind is re
leived of the errors into which it has
been led, there will he a grand triumph
of the Democratic party. Bhe flames
that were enkindled hy the “late un
pleasantness” have been kept alive hy
partisan leaders for partisan ends The
great mass of the people detirc peace,
and whenever the horrid panorama of
war and carnage that is continually pic
tured to their frenzied brains is with
drawn. they can then lookout upon the
oountryand see tlrings as they really ex
i.*t, and instead of the ghastly ensigns
of hate, they catch a glimpse of the em
blems of peace, they will no longer he
influenced hy misrepiesentations. There
arc now hosts of people at the North
who are beginning to see the existing
state of affairs in their true light. The
North is not Republican altogether by
any means. There are many that went
forth and fought under the Hag of the
Uuion, who have joined the Democratic
ranks. We have examples of this in the
lewut nominations made in Ohio for
■<\overuor and Lieutenant-Governor.
T\m main issues of the war are dead.
We acknowledge defeat. We no longer
desire the bondage of the negro; yet, as
in days of old, we deny t lie constitutional
right of the general government to inter
fere with State privileges. Thu cen
tralizing tendency of the Republican
party but calls forth the action of the
lover of true republicanism and it was
the untarnished devotion to the Consti
tution when its limits were being trans
cended that called forth the action of
nnr great leaders, and not a desire to
break up the government. It is to he
hoped that the time will soon come when
tnese thiuga will be seen in their true
light, and when the Northern heart
will cease to he aroused* by sectional is
sues. All they have to do to bring
about a unanimity of feeling, is to brush
away the clouds now resting sj heavily
upon their darkened vision and let the
bright beams of truth pour forth upon
them.
Correspondence.
Port Worth, Texas, Juave 1A 187 U.
We left 'Kitting . FuwJ) .May 27, for
Texas. Arrived atfrtamanooga and
concluded to run down and spend a few
/lays in old Bedford county, Teun.,
among old friends, relatives and school
mates. We remained there two weeks,
’tis unnecessary to say our time was
' spent. While there sever
al p# nics were gotten up tor our espec
ial bcn&ftt. Texas bearing our mind so
heavily ss,<jould stay no longer. Last
Wednesday Wi were among the passen
gers who bonded tjyftruiu at Wart race,
and a fpw hours lid#- parried us to Ste
venson, Ala., vyjiew ushauged cars for
The 3JI .train arrived at 10:30
j.. Til. bounded was soon
’doubled up in a one ol seats,
stealing naps,which wf; kept nigjjt.
'W'e ailived at Memphis at 12 u clock
next day, where we remained till 5 p,m.
We had our baggage checked for Little
Rock, and was then hauled to the
PEAIIODY HOTEL.
This is the finest hotel we have yet had
the pleasure of beholding. It is situated
in a very desirable location.
The first thing after we arrived at the
hotel was to hunt a barber sin p; the
next thing was dinner, of which we par
took bountifully. It amused us very
much to see the gentlemen walk in the
dining room with their heads shaved
clean; they looked simply ridiculous,hut
it’s a fashion they have there and most
all are made ball-headed by the barbers.
Five o’clock arrived and we were off
for Little Rock. There being no bridge
across the Mississippi river at Memphis,
we were rolled <n a very large boat—
coaches too —and were thus canned to the
opposite hank, a distance of two and a
half miles, and then pulled out ly an
engine. We ’iked this boat riding
splendidly. Several other boats wen
standing eaheled up and down the bank.
We were in Arkansas when we struck
the opposite shore, and we don’t want
any of Ark. in our’s, if you please, be
ing compelled to get a hush to keep ofl
the mousquitos; and we. could almost see
the chills shaking the hushes in the green
swamps.
About sundown we took down oui
little lunch ( which we had gotten at
Memphis for fear of an accident) and
after eating and drinking a little wine,
we were soon “lumped” on another seat
and slept till morning. We were glad
no one was along to see us struggling to
get straight next morning, after being in
a knot all night.
This Im.ught us to Texarkana where
we changed cars again. Texarkana we
don’t love.
At six p. in. we were again rolling
westward. Soon bed time came and wo
didn’t want any more “lumping” in
ours, so we secured a “hunk” in tin
sleeper and knew hut little more till we
anived at the city of
FORT WORTH.
We arrived here at 1:45 a.m. On
friend and relative \*as there ready to re
ceive us, as wc had informed them by
wire that wc were' aboard. We wer
soon conveyed to our relative’s hous<
wlieic they were all up waiting. Break
fast was announced about seven, afte
which I went down in the city. Thi
was yesterday morning; with only orn
well put in day to look, we can only sqj.
we are perfectly carried away with th:
place, the pure atmosphere, and every
thing we have seen. Fort Worth is
“Like a ladyc from a far conn tree.
Beautiful exceedingly. ”
It derived its name from Gen. Worth
a Mexican soldier. While oijf his way
to Kentucky, his native state, lie stop
ped here and looked all around and said:
“Boys, tight here we will establish ;
fort,” which was established, hence the
name. Lots of business going on here
233,372 head of cattle have been shippe<
from and through this county up to lasi
night, and they have hardly commenced
shipping yet. 7,000 weie driven througl
in one drove.
Rain is very much needed here.
We are having roasting ears,peaches,
and everything of the kind; also watei
and musk melons in great quantities.
M. 8. M. & the same old “-Doc., gift!
is doing a “smashing” busfhess tin
way of killing patients We forgot how
much he said L aor killing
’em. He and an undtucker and livery
stable man are working in. “cahoot;” big
money in it, too.
We could write- en, and on* hut mu si
suspend till next week.
Our health is much hotter.

A rrip to Nickojack,
Saturday morning the 1411 i inst.,
bright and early, a quartette of Trento
rians, all equipped for the journey, could
be seen cantering along at a lively pace
en route for Nickojack, the rendezvous
oCpleasure-seekers, intent on the all ab
jsorting topic of the day.—a picnic.
The ride froni) Trenton to Cole City
was one of unanticipated pleasure. Oui
spirits were high,and our. youthful hearts
blinding with delight,, and as we rode
alodg breathing; the pure mountain air,
peal after peal of laughter rang out on
the balmy breezes, breaking the stillness
of the solitary way. Indued, we were a
happy quartette, determined upon tin
enjoyment of the day.
Having reached ( ole City we dis
mounted, and there had tlit ex<juisit<
pleasure of meeting the affable and u;
bane young gentleman, Mr. Parker* Al
ter we had rested' perliapk a half lieu
we were joined by several others unii
.our little bifnd. no inhered twelve; then
marshaling our forces under command of
Dr. D. we started for the train,and when
we reached it we were there met by Col.
Wells, who was so kind as to wait for
us. Suddenly some one shouted all
aboard, and off it started with its pre
cious weight of human freight. Ah .
with what boldness did we trust ourselves
in the hands of providence. As we de
scended the mount our hearts were filled
with admiration at the wonderful works
of nature; on one side the old mountain
reared its lofty head far above us, bath
ing its brow in thectherial regions,seem
ing to look with pity upon us, winding
along its rugged side; on the other, and
just beneath us, a vawning chasm read}
with greedy delight to swallow us up,
but for some purpose unknown to us we
were spared. Having reached the sec
ond depot in safety, there we took the
train for the wonder of wonders—the
cave. But ere we reached it still anoth
er trial awaited us: it was the crossing
of the long, hot, dry field that lay out
before us after wc had left the train, hut
as none of us were faint hearted, and be
ing semper p nose ns semper paratus lor
such difficulties we overcame this last
one, and at last exclaimed eureka, over
the renowned curiosity, the mammoth of
the south. Here we slaked our raging
thirsts where the cool spring bubbled
ip, and having refreshed ourselves alto
gether, we were enabled, to enjoy the
sublime view of the entrance of this sub
terraneous cavern, and here, too, we met
several of our schoolmates and friends,
whom we were indeed glad to see, for
we had not seen themjgjfor long weary
days. After enjoying for a while the
sweet converse of social friendship, we at
length, under the guidance of (’apt, Kv
ans, and having secured a requisite num
ber of lamps, we sallied fhrtli on ail ex
pedition of exploration. We doseenuc l
until we came to a capacious gallery of
rock, and continually wc felt the drip
pings exuding from tli * roof, till, by the
echoing murmurs of gangling waters, we
found ourselves near the bed of a subter
raneous creek. Having gone as far as
we could wo retraced our steps, all along
gathering imperfect glimpses of the beau
ty and grandeur of this underground pal
ace. Truly nature is a grand old itrchi
eet. At length wo emerged froi* its
lark recesses, an l after resting al bile
linner was announced, and indeed if was
i sumptuous repast —fit for a kina and
uost assuredly did we do ample Justice
•to the dainty viands set before mv JKer
repartee went rqiind,
and all was as a marriage be.!].
Afternoon the sources of amusement
were divided; some tripped the light
fantastic toe, keeping time men v
music of the violin, while*others delight
ed to walk round and behokl still farther
.lie wonderful works .vbotit
> three o’clock a trio with a trusty
ji lot pur sued our investigatimis still far
ther. Having reached the Ascent of u
leep declivity, we entered %\ boat and
.Vas whirled out of sight in the twinkling
• I an eye, as we on over the glossy
uirfaeo of this limpid stream we beheld
with unbounded admiration the grand
md magnificent stalaetilie and stalag
ilities formed by the continual wearing
. >r dripping away of the solid rock. Im
agination would fail to do justice to his
hidden b auty of natu o’s glorious work.
As /we silently considered wliat we had
seen, we thought within ourselves, who
out a God could have done this ? When
we again reached the entrance we vateh
ed tlie merry dancers tor a lew moments,,
and then to the tiaiu was echoed tiom a
dozen lips. As we looked around for a
last glance at the place where, we had
spent such a pleasant day, the thoughtl
“shall wc ever meet again?” filled our
breast till the eddying t hrong bore us out
of sight.
At Cole City we left the train, and
Walking along some* one suddenly said,,
“look!” and we beheld a scene that seems
-to me would melt a heart of adamantit
was the convicts all shackled and chain
.ed together, slowly wending their wav
up the rugged hill to their narrow home.
Ah, how sorrowful must to
sec the crowning work of creation so de
graded.. Truly the way of the trails -
gressoi is hard. .
e arrived home about dark,, and af
tei Hiippct having thanked our gallant
cavaliers tor their kindness in making
the day sj pleasant f'dr.us, and wishing
dial the future for th in might be as
bright as the day bad been for us. Bid
ding us an revoir they took their depart
ure, ami we were left alone to muse over
what we had seen a"ud heard.

Jenkins Goestoa Picnic.
Maria Ann recently retiolved to go to
a picnic. Maria Ann is mv wife—un
fortunately. Shu had determined to go
alone so far as 1 was concerned, on that
picnic excursion; l>ut when 1 heard,
about it, I determined to assist. She
pretended that she was very glad, but
l don’t believe that she was.
“It will do you good to getaway from
your work a day, poor fellow!” she sai 1;
“and we shall so much enjoy a cool morn
ing ride in the cars, and a dinner i:i the
giove.”
On the morning of that day, Maria
Ann got up at five o’clock. About three
minutes later she disturbed my slum
bers, and told me to come to breakfast*.
I told her I wasn’t hungry, hut it didn’t
make any difference, I had to get up.
The sun began business so early in the
morning; but there he was.
“Now,” said Mai in Ann, “we must
fly around, for the cars start at halfpast
six. Kat all the breakfast you can, for
you won’t get anything more before
noon.”
i could not cat anything at that time
in the morning’ and it was well i Could
not, for I had all Icml l do. There was
ice to be pounded, to go around the pail
of ice-cream, and the sandwiches to be
cut’ and 1 had thought I never should
get the legs of the chickens placed so
that I ou’d got the oyer on the basket
Maria flew aroitn l and picked up grocer
ies for me to p ck, giving directions to
the girl aboiu taking care of the lions**,
and putting oil her dress, all at once.
There is a d.vil of energy in that woman
%
perhaps a trifle too much.
At twenty minutes past six T stood
on the front steps, wit’* a basket on one
arm, and Mari i Ann’s waterproof on
the other, and a pail in each hand, and
a bottle of vii.egai in my coat-skirt pock
et. There was a camp-chair hanging on
me somewhere, too, but I forget just
whoie.
“Now,” said Maria Ann, “we must
run.”
“Maria Ann,” said I “that is an
unreasonable idea! How do you suppose
I can run with all this freight?’
“You must, yu hmte! You always
try to tease me. Ifyou do not wa it a
scene on the streets*you will start, too.”
So J ran.
I had one comfort, at lots*; Marla fell
down and broke her parasol 1. She caller!
me a brute, because 1 laughed. She
’drove me all the way to the depot on a
brisk trot, and we got on the cars, but
neither of us could get a seat, and 1
could not find a place where I could
lay the tilings down, jsu 1 stood there
and held them.'
“Maria”siil I, ii winning ae.-e its,
~hove is this for aco >1 morning ide?”
Said she, “You a.o a brute, .Jen
kins.”
Said I, “My love, yn. have made
that observation before.”
J Kept my courage up, yet I knew
that there would be an li >u.i: of wrath
when we got home. While we were
getting out of the cars, the bottle in m v
pocket got broke and consequently 1 had
one boot half full of vinegar all day
That kept me pretty quiet; and Maria
Amiran off with a big-whiskered music
teacher, lost her fan an l tore her dross*
and enjoyed herself much af\or the fash
ion of picnic-goers. 1 thought it never
would come dinner-ti n>; an l Maria
cal leu me a pig been used wanted to open
our basket before the rest of the lasaets
were openo 1.
At last dinner time came—the “nice
dinner in the woods,” you know. Over
throe thousand little rod ants had got
into our dinner, and tlvey wore worse to
pick.-out than fish-bones. The ice cream
had melted, and them was no vinegar for
the cold ment. except what was in my
bootand of course tliat was of no im
mediate use. The music-teacher spilled
a cup of hot collie on- Maria’s head,
and pulled all the- frix/Jes out trying to
wipe off the eo flee with his hand.! erchiel.
Then l sat on a piece of. raspberry pie
and spoiled m v panes, and eoucludod I
didn’t want anything more. J bad to
stand up against a tree the rest of the
afternoon. The day afforded considerable
variety, compared with every-day life;
but there were so many drawbacks that
we did not enjoy it so much as we might
leave done.—Max Adeler.
