TRAMMELL, OF WHITFIELD. FOR REPRESENTATIVE, Hon. -T. C. FAIN, OF CALHOUN. Original Story— We have receiv ed for publication abeautilul story, writ ten by a young lady of Gordon county, which will appear in our next. M ♦ ►■■■ Correspondents will please recol lect that the printers have rules govern ing communications, and sometimes good 'j.uc iciu nuiuur s name must accom pany every communication sent in for publication—not that the real name must appear in the paper, but that the editor may know who is responsible. Never write on both sides of the pa per. Last week work was commenced on the Dalton and Morganton Railroad. There was frost throughout New England on the morning of the 7th. 9&r The Senate passed a resolution, on the 10th, inviting President Grant to visit our State Fair. The Atlanta papers give glow ing accounts of the huge preparations for the mammoth State Fair. The House of Representatives, on Tuesday, passed the Senate Relief bill, —which we published last week by a vote of 07 to 48. tW I he old Atlanta Intelligencer has gotten squarely back on the Democratic schedule, and talks as good Democratic doctrine as it ever did. In lower Georgia the carpetbag gers are losing deal. The darkies be gin to think its time they were having a showing—hence, there is some hard feeling between the white and black brudders. MGr We thiuk there is no good ground for the rumor that Judge Walker, of Dalton, would be an independent Re publican candidate for congress in this District. Ihe Judge is too shrewd a man for that, you bet. Good Investment. —We have no doubt capitalists would find it profitable to buy and improve the valuable vacant lots in Calhoun. We believe double the present number of good business houses could be rented on favorable terms. - Geo. P. Burnett, Esq. of Rome has consented to make the race f r Congress in this District, on the Republican tick et. Outside of his unstomachable poli tics he is said to be a very clever fellow. It’s a pity such clever men must be so awfully beaten sometimes, but, never theless, it must be so, in Burnett’s case, at least. Bought Cheap. —The Era says that Kenny, the popular widow and orphan maker, of Atlanta, has actually “ bought over" friend Grady, of the Rome Com mercial with a jug of whiskey, and an advertisement. This is a terrible slam on our young friend and, remembering the enthusiasm with which he fell into the temperance ranks, when we opened the war upon Kenny, as a representative man of the whiskey ring, it is hard for us to believe. Democratic Unity. We notice some of our exchanges lecturing their people upon the subject of unity in the Democratic ranks. We know this is important, and essential to success in the coming campaign, but we have reposed so much confidence in the soundness of our party in old Gordon, that we have scarcely thought it neces sary to urge unity of action. The nominee of a convention is sel dom the first choice of every individual composing the same, and it is but hu man nature for disappointed parties to keenly feel their disappointment. But in times like these, when all citizens should make the good of the country their first object, it is not only unwise and inconsistent, but dangerous to create dissention in the party ranks. When we are called upon to choose between Democratic unity or Radical supremacy, it is but natural to look with misgivings upon the man who seeks to bring about a split. - Quiet Restored. —The war in South' Carolina has come to an end, and all is now quiet along the lines. The negroes whom Scott and his men duped into arming themselves and in bodies taking possession of the country, and setting up a higher law of their own, found an equally determined body of armed white jnen planted across their path, and wise ly concluded it was best to retire, go to work and keep the peace for the future. “The West* We would advise those of our readers who are suffering with the ‘ l M Cstem fever” to read carefully the letter from that country, in another column. It is written by, a solid, sensible man. who went to Arkansas from our own county since the war. ] t has always seemed to us the height of folly for men who are making good livings in Georgia, to lca\e tHe land of their birth —the friends of their child hood, —their homesteads, schools and churches, to try a country of which they know nothing, from experience, and begin life anew in a half-civilized land, thinly settled, and in many cases devoid of churches, schools, physicians, and the convenience of obtaining the comforts of life—to say nothing of its pleasures — to which they have been accustomed in good old Georgia. We have known men to sell every thing they have here —good houses, fine lands, mills, Ac., at a great sacrifice, fit up fine teams, and leave for the west. And though our life is yet short, we tiisueartertSh —in some 'cases' Yeavm’g their loved ones buried in the malarious swamps of “ the west.” Let the people of Cherokee Georgia, go to work, and improve and beautify what they have, and ere long we can offer inducements to the chilly, shaking meatless people of “ the west,” to leave that country to the savage Indians, and take refuge in our own healthful happy clime. W e never could relish the idea of “ going west,” and we still hold to the opinion that a man who fails to “do well ” in this country, need not hope to in any other. Cherokee Georgia is good enough for us, and we want our bones to rest beside those of our ancesters beneath her soil. Vivic la Cherokee Georgia. We hope our correspondent, « Sludge,” will not let this be his last letter. Base Ball. We don’t fancy base ball. We never did ; and though we could be convinc ed beyond a doubt that George Wash ington, Patrick Henry, and our great grand-father liked it, we would be of the ‘•same opinion still.” Coming down to a regular old-fash ioned common sense view of the matter, it is almost disgusting to see stout, able bodied men engaged in such foolishness. Base ball will do very well for the school boys, but the idea of grown up men running and knocking, and puffing and blowing after balls—wasting strength which ought to be applied to useful la bor—is supremely ridiculous. And then, the newspapers (some of them) filling a column or so, accasional ly with a great, displayed account of a base ball match, as if the solid, sensible reader cared for such bosh ! I\ e go to State and county fairs. The ladies (God bless them!) have tables filled with evidences of their industry and thrift—quilts with countless stitches —handsome “tricks” for the little ones —and good things enough to keep an editor’s month watering for a week after seeing them. And what do our young men exhibit ? We are glad that some have pride enough to have on hand a fine bale of cotton, or something of their own making; but how many only make male donkeys of themselves with their fancy garbs and clubs and balls. For the display of the agility of these young men why not have cutting match es with an axe, corn shelling matches, plowing matches, hoeing matches, ditch ing matches, or any kind of matches that have any utility or practical good in them ? Out-door exercise ! That’s the cry of the clerks and other city chaps. We have seen clerks give twenty-five or fif ty cents to have a load of wood cut up, or clean out the cellar, or cateh a lot of loose chickens, or get a lively horse out of pasture, and then go out and run themselves out of breath at base ball for exercise. If we were the manager of a fair, and a man suggested base ball to us, we’d be tempted to appropriate his club to a different use. In short, we are down on base ball. Bartow County Fair. We had the pleasure of spending the last day of the fair at Cartersville; and saw enough in that short time to convince us that it was altogether what it was claimed to be—«a grand success. The general arrangement of the grounds was most excellent, and we have never seen thirty acres better adapted, naturally, for a fair ground. The exhi bition of stock was satisfactorily large, and very interesting. There were sev eral capital horses on exhibition, and we witnessed one very excitng trottinsr match. The ladies department, in-doors was not very extensive, though decidedly interesting—displaying wonderful ac complishments by the dear creatures in all the peculiar arts and sciences accor ded to their sphere. A\ ithout any ‘ ladies department” at all, except the ladies themselves, old Bar tow would be decidedly hard to beat; for we don.t know where we have bc held a throng of more beautiful and ap parently accomplished ladies than Bai tow county Fair exhibited. They are en titled to the special premium, we offered some time ago, ior the best display in this particular. The premium is our old hat—as soon as we get anew otie. And from the recent liberal donation of pumpkins, we don t think that time far Off. We congratulate the friends of Agri cultural progress in Bartow county upon the success of their first exhibition ; and think they are fully justified in anticipa ting great things for their Society in the future. North Georgia Agricultural Fair. Having visited Dalton last week for the purpose of attending the Agricul tural Fair, held at that place, we will mention a few items to those of our readers W'ho were not so fortunate as to be present. We must confess that we were astonished at the ample and sub stantial accommodations which were in readiness for the occasion. A year ago, of. A few months ago, a number of energetic and enterprising citizens, as sociated themselves together, under the firm name and style, of the North Geor gia Agricultural Association, each mem ber working; individually, as well as collectively, for tbe promotion of the interest of Agriculture, and Stock rais ing, throughout the country. The coun try in and around Dalton, was complete ly desolated during the war, as many who were eye witnesses can testify.— The destruction in all the general im provements and progress of Whitfield county, was nearly if not quite as great as that experienced by the most unfortu nate sections of our country. Notwith standing all these disadvantages staring them in the face, the aforesaid Associa tion have gone bravely to work, and brought to a practical issue, the mate rial strength and resources of their county. The Fair Grounds are situated two miles above the city, directly on the E. T. & Ga. R. R. and conveniently accessible likewise by the main Dalton and Tennessee public road. Large, and substantial buildings and accommoda tions have been erected upon a most beautiful plat of ground, located im mediately between the above mentioned roads, affording from every side a most delightful aspect. Though the exhibi tion of stock, agricultural implements &c., did not meet our expectations, yet this is attributable, we are satisfied to the fact of its being the first enterprise of the kind attempted in Whitfield, and ignorance on the part of a great many as to the requirements &c., necessary to constitute a Fair. We are satisfied, that this enterprise in future will continue to become more of a success, and that the citizens of Dalton, and the surround ing country should be proud of the men, who have so nobly went forward in so noble an undertaking. With no at tempt at flattery we do not think that the handiwork of the ladies of Whitfield, such as sweetmeats. Table-cloths, bed spreads, quilts, fancy work, paintings &c., can be excelled. We are now more than ever convinced that the ladies, when they are favorable to an enterprise, (and they do favor all good ones) do more and reach a higher degree of perfection than men can possibly at tain. Go on, say we, ladies, young and old, in the good work you have com menced, and your effort will be doubly blessed; a blessing to yourselves, and a blessing to those who are to come after you. We were shown while at the Fair a sow and eight pigs of the Chester breed, which for size and beauty, excelled any thing of the kind we have ever seen. They were raised near Dalton, by Mrs. Jennie Tomlinson, and bespeak not only her expertness in raising pretty things and getting premiums, but like wise the general adaptability of our climate for such purposes. And now, before we dismiss this sub ject, we would call the attention of the people of our own county, to the fact, that we have never yet had an Agricul tural Fair. Gordon county estimated to be the richest county of lands in the State, cannot have a Fair ? We do not believe it. ■►On the contrary, we are satisfied that old Gordon (and not under rating other counties) can equal if not excel the same amount of territory in the way of agricultural productions, in the State. We have not the time or space to speak now of the great advantages, such an Association would be to our entire section of country. They are obvious to all. Let our peo ple theu arouse themselves to this great work; let them not be behind other counties of inferior facilities to our own. but let us all go to work to have before another year has departed a Fair in Calhoun, and our word for it, the ladies of old Gordon, lovely and fair, will be true to their prestige, and to the require ments of the occasion. Raleigh, October 7. —William Stan son (colored), who committed a rapa on an aged white woman in this county some time ago, was sentenced to-day by the Superior Court to be hung on the 4th of November. The jury was com posed entirely of blacks. For tbe “Calhoun Times.’’ Letter from the West. ARKANSAS AND INDIAN TERRITORY. Mr. Editor :—As there U generally every year about this season, a good deal of excitement about emigrating est, I thought I Would write a short note and have it published id the Calhoun Times, knowing it to be well circula ted in the country where these are a great many preparing to move West. I have traveled over a good portion of Yoth Arkansas and the Indian Territory. The portion of Arkansas that joins the Indian Territory South of Ft. Smith, I am best acquainted with. On the River from Pine Bluff to Ft. Smith, there is some as fine land as there is in the Uni ted States. It will, upon an average, yield 50 bushels of corn and one bale of cotton to the acre, and frequently more. But there is not a place on the Arkan sas River that is exempt from chills and billious fever. The upland, South of Ft. Smith, is a sandy, loose kind of land, better adapted to cotton, potatoes, turnips, and melons, than to corn and wheat. An average crop of cotton is about 1000 lbs. in the seed to the acre; corn, 25 bushels, and wheat, 10 bushels to the acre. The country is made up of hills and valleys W»« ... .yr. J ~ , stubby post-oak and rocky; but it is a splendid range for stock. The valleys are generally level, with the exception of mounds, which old settlers say were caused by the Buffalo, wallowing in mud, and then all going to one place and shaking themselves. Whether this is true or not, lam not able to say. The range for stock can scarcely be excelled in any country. Cattle and Ponies live through the winter without being fed, and in the fall get very fat. Hogs are generally killed out of the woods, and make splendid bacon. There is not a great deal of game out side of the mountains. On Porto and loosh mountains, there are plenty of bears, wolves, panthers, catamounts, wild cats, and thousands of deer and turkey. The people for forty miles South of Ft. Smith, are very much divided in politics. A great many are in favor of negro equality, both politically and so cially. Over half the people of Sebas tian country went with the federals. M here James’ Fork Post Office now is, there was not a family living at the close of the war nearer than 15 miles. There was a great deal of guerrillaing carried on here during the war, and a good many of the citizens believe that it is not settled in this county yet. Ev ery office is filled by Radicals. The elec tion comes off the Bth of November for Congress, State Senators and Legislators. The democrats, if there was none dis franchised, could elect a democrat to fill every office in the county; but the Board of Registers are Radicals of the darkest dye, and will not allow enough demo crats to register to defeat their party. Land anywhere within twenty mi'es of Ft. Smith, has gone up 300 per cent, within the last four years. There is not much. diiLrence between the price of land here and in old Gordon county. I think that if a man has a home back in Cherokee Georgia, that he will do as well to stay on it as to move West. The wa ter is very bad here, and there are more insects, such as ants, stinging scorpions, sante pedes, spiders, devils’ horses, and a great many other troublesome, as well as dangerous insects and reptiles. A laboring man can get better wages here than in Georgia Wages are, for field hands, from 20 to 30 dollars per month and board. A mechanic can get from two to five dollars per day. The Indian Territory, or a good por tion of it, is similar to the country around Ft. Smith, but it is very thinly settled. The Choctaws numbered before the war, twenty-six thousand mixed breeds and lull bloods; but they do not number as many now as they did previous to the war. The Choctaws were all Rebels but fourteen, and that is the reason why they do not draw any annuity. They have near two million of dollars owing them, which I think doubtful about their get ting. The full blood Choctaws, or “Tub bies,” as they are called here, do not seem to improve any in civilization.— They have a few cows and a pony or two, and that is as much as they seem to want. A few old clothes and a bear or deer skin for bedding, composes their house furniture. The Chiekasaws principally went with the South. The Cherokees were pretty well divided. The party that went Federal were called peons, and they were a bloody, tlTieving set. — They committed some very bloody deeds on women and children along the line of Arkansas. Ft. Gibson, eighty miles from Fort Smith, on the Arkansas river, is a thriv ing little town; but it is mostly inhabi ted by white* and mixed bloods—the full bloods prefering the woods to town life. The Cherokees have drawn their an nuity—each person that had any Chero kee blood in their veins, drew seventy two dollars. It was a lively time with merchants as long as the money lasted. A white man can lease land from an In dian for from five to ten years; and if he marries a squaw he has full right to settle anywhere in the Nation. It is thought that the Indian Terri tory will be sectionized, ard I think that is the reason immigration has poured in so rapidly along the line. Some of the indians are in favor of sectiouizing and some oppose it. There is some as fine country in the Indian Territory as there is anywhere. It is burned off every year and there is no small growth growing. It is a beau tiful sight to see large trees forty feet to the limbs, and grass waist high. There are some Prairies here but they are small. The largest I have seen is ten miles long by four wide. I had like to have forgotten the taxes in this country. If a person moves to Arkansas he may expect to pay a heavy tax. It was last year, four dollars and seventy-two cents upon the hundred— nearly as much here on the hundred as it is on the thousand in Gordon county. Besides the State and County tax, there is a school tax, which in itself is very burthensome; and they employ a teach er. whether competent or not. If he is a Northern man or a Radical that is qual- j ification enough. They generally get from fifty to seventy-five dollars per | month to teach six hours per day, and if a person doOe not wish to send, he has to pay tax aipjrhow. I will dose by sayitlg a person should think weH before he leave* the lanft of his nativity, to hunt him a home among strangers. I have no doubt but there are many in Georgia who would do bet ter here, while, on the other hand, a good many will do bettor in eIJ Gfcofgih. SLEDGE. James’ Fork, Ark., o c t- 1780. FROM EUROPE. Washington, October 10. —Glean- ings from special reports state: The Prussian Chambers have been dissolved. Anew election has been ordered to secure a more trustworthy government majority. Bisuiark refuses to release Jacobi. The siege of Soissons is progressing favorably. The bombardment of Paris will not be delayed an hour longer than necessary. Anew German army is now on its way to Staasbourg to check the new French army organizations. Bazaine is cordially co-operating with the government at Paris, relieve mzame. ~ The right wing of the J.yons army fonght the Baden troops on Thursday. Bismark protests against Garibaldiau operations. The Italian government re plies that they are not responsible for individual actions. The North German government or ders the execution of foreigners in arms for Frence. Retaliatory orders will be issued by France. Tho Tribune’s correspondent before Metz, after describing the battle of the 7th, in which bothsuffeied severely, but the French were repulsed, concludes, under date of Noiseville, the Bth, 8 A. M. : The French, during the night, accu mulated in largo masses on the eastern slopes of St. Julian, towards Metz.— The Prussian forep< sts were drawn back, and reserves ealled up. The artillery covers every eminence. Shells from St. Julian go crushing into Noiseville.- A furious cannonading is going on to the south by Colombey, Mercy, Le Ilant and Pettie. The French fort at St. Privat is also firing. London, October 10.—The Prussians are pushing their works near Jeromes Park, near Mendon, and on Bimboorian Hill, near Sevres. Tours, October the 10.—The gov ernment is beginning to prepare the pub lic mind through the press for the ces sion of the French territory to Germany. The Liberte consents to slight rectifi cation of the frontier near Weisenburg. Gambetta has issued a proclamation which developes uo new policy, but ur ges resistance en masse, and denounces monarchy as the cause of French dan ger, and appeals fur the fraternal accep tance of the present authority until peace comes. He concludes: “I have a command for you ; abandon ing all other affairs; taking no account of difficulties or obstacles; co-operate with all your unrestricted energies in remedying the evils of the situation.— V ive la Nation ! Vive la Republic! Une et indivisible!” Tours, via London, Octoher 10.— During the sitting of the Government a crowd gathered in the court yard of the Prefecture displaying French and American flags. Garibaldi was vociferously cheered and made a speech expressing his belief of the approaching redemption of France. He wore the Garibaldian costume and hat. Looks healthy, but not strong.— In subsequent address to the National Guard, Garibaldi announced that he was to command all the volunteers in the French service. London, October 11.—The Chinese government declines to guarantee against further outrages. All Catholic buildings in Pekin have been destroyed. Advices from the Prussian govern ment informs the powers that Paris threatens to hold out until starved ; in the event, hundreds of thousands must die. Prussia will be unable to feed Paris a single day after the capitulation, as there is nothing edible within two days march of Paris. Nevertheless, Prussia must prosecute the war; those holding power in France are answerable for the results. Metz advices to Sunday. Weather very unfavorable. Firing from the works is steadily mantaincd. There is much sickness in the town. The Prussians took 2,000 prisoners in the last encounter. Many of the Prussian wounded have been removed to Berlin. It is stated th -t Bisum rk replied to Lord Lyons that while he would be glad to make peace, no truce proposition could be entertained for a moment. The Comptroler on the Wild Lands of the State. The Era publishes the following let ter addressed by the Hon. Madison Bell, the Comptroller General of the State, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, on the “wild land ques tion,” in which much interest is now ta ken, and in which a very large number of our people are deeply interested : Comptroler General’s Office. ) Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 7, 1870. j Hon , R. L. McWhorter , Speaker of Home of Representatives, present. Sir : In answer to your inquiries I have the honor to state that in my judg ment it is unconstitutional for the State of Georgia to take private property for public use, without adequate compensa tion. The law of the State in regard to improve land is that, if not duly return ed for taxation, it shall be double taxed and sold under execution for the tax. I can see no reason why wild land should be placed upon a different footing. All that the State desires or can demand, and all that she is entitled to, is the lawful tax upon the value of the proper- ! ty within her jurisdiction. The unre turned wild lands have all once been granted and the title has fully passed out of the State, and the SU»f« cannot le gally deprive the o*ncf of his property or title, after it has oned been granted, .*Xcept by levy and sale fat taies under execution. Under the law as it now exists, the owner can redeem his land when sold, at any time within two years by paying the purclursc money and a certain per cent, thereon. 1 have read the amend; nient proposed by you, to the present law in reference to wild lands, and am of the opinion it ought tp pass. If it should pass, all the impediments now in the way of au easy and practicable exe cution of the wild land laws will he re moved. It would he far preferable in my judgment to allow the law to remain as it is. rather tliau to pass a law revert ing those lands to the State. But, in the event that your amendment eaunot be passed, I think the Price hill would he far preferable to that which proposes to revert the lands to the State. lam at a loss to perceive how the State can resume the title to lands, alter the same has lawfully passed from her. unless she becomes the purchaser of such lands af ter the same have been levied on and | sold at public outcry under existing laws. | (UhaurTof Their payment, they may he lawfully sold, like improved lands, to raise the taxes, hut it seems to me that ;it would be an act of usurpation on the part of the Btatc to resume the pr» - prietstrship of these lands in the man ner proposed by the act reverting them. It also seems to me to be a dangerous precedent to set, that the State may seize upon private property and forfeit the title thereto, without the consent of the owner. If it may be done with ref erence to wild lands, It may he done with equal propriety, with reference to any other species of property. The hill proposing to revert these lanes, in my judgment amounis to nothing less than the confiscation of title to private prop erty. Very respectfully, Madison Bell, Comptroller General.
