THE GAZETTE. 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. Legislative* SENATE.
