RISING FAWN, GA
Thursday, Oct. fsMli 1579.
The legislature adjourned, yesterday
after a long and “heated term” of three
-months. Their work is now done, and
time will tell whet her it was well done
vor not, we think they have passed some
wholesome laws and did other good
-service for the people.
That was a narrow escape sure enough
that the mail carrier between Cu filbert
and Fort guinea met with the other day.
’The Cuihbert Messenger says that just
as he was crossing a creek below Gay’s
mill, the dam above suddenly gave way
from a tremendous pressure of watci
■caused by a heavy rain of the previous;
night, and in less than a moment’s
time his buggy and mule and himself
were completely submerged. The mule
was drowned and a portion of the mail
was washed away. The driver barely
escaped with his life.
Our Visit to S&vaasiaah
On Monday Oct the 6th we boarded
the train at Rising Fawn bound for
‘Chattanooga. We stopped in this city
until Tusday evening when, in company
with the Hon Mr. A. B. Tatum, our rep
sesentive and A. Median, of Walker
County Nessenger, wc boarded tlic W.
and A. train for* Atlanta at which place
w;e found the train waiting to convey
ns over the Central road.
We arrived in feavannah about
4 oclock Wednesday evening, found the
forest city in a perfect stir, Hotels crow
ded, streets crowded and a state of perfect
confusion reigning throughout, but by
dint of perseverence we succeeded (by
paying 50cts per head to an omnibus for
a ride of a few hundred yards, which of
course was acceptable as we had not
been riding at those rates) in making
onr way through the thronged streets to
the Pulaski House, where after several
unsuccessful attempts •we succeeded in
obtaining a room six by ten for the mod
erate sum of two dollars and a half per
day. This room Lad but a single bed
in it and three of us were assigned to
that room, how we fared we leave our
readers to imagine, suffice it to say that
we three occupied that little room with
a single bed in it. Savannah is situat
ed on the river of the same name about
18 miles from tha Atlantic Ocean, it is a
City clean and compactly*built
•and appears to be in a flourishing con
dition. This was the centennial occaion
in honor of Sergeant William Jasper,
who fell in battle in the City of Savan
nah on the 9th of Oct 1779 while fight
ing for the independence of the colonies.
The people of Savannah to perpetuate
the money of Sergeant Jasper are erect
ing a monument in honor of his bravery
on the very spot where he fell. We wit
nessed the ceremonees of laying the Con
ner stone after which Senator J. R.
Gordon addressed the imraence crowd,
liis speach was the finest it has been my
privilge to listen to for many years, it. is
certainly the best effort of his life.
Wc afterword took an excursion down
the river to Wasaw Sound which was
quite pleasant notwithstanding the
immence crowd on the steamer. The
officers and men of the steamer City of
Bridgeton are perfect gentlemen and did
all in their power to make the trip pleas
ant Passing dc.vn the river we saw an
alligator about eight feet in length mov
ing quitly along, but he was soon forced
by the bu llets bulled at hfm to leave the
water and *cek safety in the rushes.
On Friday 10th we again took an
excursion down the river to Tybee Island
landed and strolled over the Island and
on the beach for an hour or so, return
ed to the City late in the ev -mug and
started homeward.
The country between Savannah and
Macon appeared to he rather poor.
It is not level as we had expclited, but.
is dotted over with small hills and low
marshes, a goodly portion of the lands
had been in corn, we were informed
by the eitzens that most of the farmers in
that section made a sufficiency ot corn
tomeet theV demands.
The country between Mo eon and At
lanta is similar tc that between Savan
nah and Macon but * o t ho rich. We
find this section cute rely devoted to c^t-
ton, we saw-some fine feilds of cotton
brft V/as informed that the crop would
’bfe at leaist one third short.
While ih Savannah we met several
old army ffiends, and made many new
acquaintances. We -enjoyed the trip
very much and regict to have to say
that Savannah had not made ample pro
lusions for the immence coucourse of vis
itors and for that rersou could not extend
to them that hospitality for which
Atlanta is noted.
The W. -4r. A. railroad we found in
excellent condition as to rolling stock
and track, and we may ever expect to
find it thus, under the skillful manage
ment of Georgia’ greatest financier Gov.
Joseph E. Brown. The Central rail
road under the superintendence of Col.
Wm, Rogers is well managed, in fact
the entire line of railroads ovei which
we traveled seems in good condition and
under good managers. The conductors
are fiist class and keep a vigMent watch
ovei their passengers.
We arc under many obligations to
Col. Rstell, of the News for favors espe
cially the nice lunch served us in the
mess rooms of the news building; it was
the only good dinner we received during
our stay in the city. We are indebted
to Maj. Orme, for many interesting ob
jects shown us, and kind attentions to
make our visit plaesant* The Major
is a good talker and holds to his ow n pe
cvliar ideas of political economy and in
fact every thing else.
We would like to say something
about the Pulaski House, but as it is
an old house, one that has been estab
lished for years and as vve can say noth
ing good about the fare, either as to
beds, viands or politness of waiters we
desist.
3£i£l iaiso
Soothing klciliedioa.
I am herce in the capital of Alabama,
enjoying myself and mingling with the
friends of my youth. As we begin to
grow old and feel the height of passing
years, how refreshing it is eo meet with
the mates of our childhood and onr com
rades in the war. There is a sweet and
comforting sadness in recalling the days
of old lang syne, im rehearsing the jokes
and anecdotes, the narrow escapes, the
heroic exploits that impressed us long
long ago. Youth is ever looking forward
to a better and a brighter day, but age
looks back with longing and regret, for
the better days have passed.
1 thought I wasgrowiug old, for I re
member when there was no railroad to
this beautiful cito; when Wetumpka was
a town of note and influence, and the
farmers of north Georgia hauled their
cotton there and sold it for 4 cents a
pound—l remember when there were
Indians all over this country, and there
was a battle fought with them near Co
lumbus, and some of our Gwinnett boys
were killed. I remember when the whigs
and democrats hated each other as bad
as we evea hated the radicals—when
Harrison was elected president and the
whig boys of our town seni off to Deca
tur and borrowed a cannon to fire at she
grand jubilee and we democratic boys
stole it the night it come while it while
it was pouring down rain and hauled it
off to a swemp and hid it. But I dont
remember when, there was no such par
ties in the people were
divided into and federal
ists. I have to-day been talking with a
venerable gentleman now in his 8-ith
year, Judge Benijah Bibb, who loves to
revel in the memoirs of the past —who
was reared in Georgia and is more fa
miliar with her history and the history
of her noble sons than any man 1 have
ever met. Tie was the contemporary of
Dooly and Dawson and Wm. 11. Un
derwood and Berried and Upson and
Trpvpe and Clark and Crawford and
forsytlie. His mind is as clear as a sun
beam and his love for old Georgia as
warm and pure as a woman’s. He told
me-the origin of the Troup and Clark
parties which precede.! the whigs and
democrats. llow that judge Tate and
Griffin were candidates for the judgeship
azd the canvass was so bitter and ex
citing it split the pnrtyjjin two and it
was never cemented until the election of
Mr. Lincoln. I wish that Henry Grady
could listen to him for a week, and then
we would have a history of Georgia that
would be worth leading and preserving.
The venerable judge is still loved and
cheered by the wife of his youth with
whom ne has lived most liappilflpfor 63
years.. At his last wedding anniversary
| more than J ’OOO personal friends called
to do honor to the grand old eouple.
But the unsuspecting traveler who
visits Montgomery from- the west can
get there yet without some little ■taibula
tiofi. When I got within ol
the city >an officer called on me with a lot
of printed papers and a pencil, and says
he-:
“Going to Mantgomery, sir?”
“Been to mempliis, or anywhere in
Pnat region lately?”
“No, sir,” says I,
“Where have*yeta been for tbe last
thirty days?’*
Seeing as how lie was trying to corner
me, and was writing down my answers,
I concluded to be careful and particular
sol squared myself, and says J:
“Well, I’ve been at home in the bosom
of my family most of tbe time, but I re
member going over to Old Colonel
Dobi-ns’s to borrow his mower, and l
went up to Nabor Freeman’s to look
at his fine sheep one evening, and anoth
er day I took my little chaps in the
spring wagon and w it over to Gilreath
mill, for we had gathered some new corn
and my wife, Mrs. Arp, says she to me,
‘William’”—
“Neve v mind all that,” says he.
“Where do you live?”
“Hive on Pettis creek,” says I.
“Whores that?” says he.
“Why its right close to Dr. Felton’s
We live on the same road and the doc
tor and Aleck Stephens they come by
my house the other day and”—
“Well, nevermind that,” says he.
•‘list j you ever had the valler fever or
been exposed to it lately?”
“No, sir,” says I. “When I was
in the army I had the ynller ganders *nd
it liked to have killed me, but Dr Mil
ler, be had a barrel of cider which he
bought for his own use and lie”—
“Well you needn’t tell about that,’
says he. “Hold up your hand and be
sworn,” “Do you solemnly swear that
your answers are all true and that you
will reporl to the police as soon as yon
reach Montgomery and that you owe
mo thirty cents for this affidavit, so help
yo*
After I had signed my my name I
asked him if he was trying to get a ju
ry in a murder case. He said, “Noj
sir.”
“Maybe you ars issuing naturaliza
tion papers,” said I.
“Not at all’ sir,” said he; “I’m a
quarant:ne 0111 c or.”
So I pulled out a tetter froth my oh?
friend and showed him how
the doctor had invfcLid me to Montgom
ery and then he let oft from the police
and said the doctor was ninnin the qnai*
antine business.
Well, I was glad of that, for it dident
look ezactLC right tome for an old friend,
invite me to come to see hmr and turn
me over to the police boipre I got tin e.
Cut I’m sorry f'er the doctoi, for lie's
got the fever himself. He say smi is pulse
is 220 and he is just running ask
ing all the pretty ladies to feel of it.
Yours Bill Arp.
