Dade County Gazette. 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.

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. More anon. D. M. C. 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.

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.
