WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1875.
The Davenport Democrat reports
that four young men have found a cave
on the Mississippi entered by a flight of
rude steps; its broad floor was strewn
with ashes, and it contained a skeleton
with a big head, and a wooden leg fas
tened by leather straps almost petrified
and bronze buckles. The Democrat sup
poses that the skeleton is a relic of pre
historic times.
Our Atlanta Letter.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6, 1875
Editor Times : It is now more than
two months since your readers have had
anything from til’s part of the moral
vineyard, gotten up by your Gate City
correspondent. Therefore to keep good
a promise embodied in my
cation, I attempt to write you a short
letter.
To say we arc rushing along with a
Fearful rapidity is simply repeating what
is being said by all who visit our so
called mushroom city. Even a larger
number of buildings arc now going, up
than when I wrote you last. The cot
ton factory building, covering near an
acre and a half of ground, between Ma
rietta street and the W. & A R. IT,
three squares north of the Capitol, is
running up like a “cloud from o’er the
sea.” The ground work of the building
is composed of rock, while the upper
stories are of brick. The Superintend
ent, who, by the way, is a Northern
man, knows his business and pushes the
work forward with remarkable rapidity.
Kimball is in the back ground working
with his usual vim. Dirt has been
broken for the U. S. Court House, and
here I wmld mention, a good deal of
dissatisfaction is expressed by a majority
of our citizens over the name of this
embryonic structure, they having do
nated the lot for a U. S. Custom House,
and not as a nest for negroes and Feder
al officials. But the matter has been
whitewashed to the seeming satisfaction
of ail concerned by the announcement
that a part of the building will be used
as a Custom House when Atlanta shall
have been made, by special act, a port
of entry. There was, at the time the
grading was advertised, a great deal of
wrangling among the bidders—some
bidding twenty- five cents per yard for
removal of dirt, while others came as
low down as fifteen cents, or more than
fifty per cent, below the former figures.
As the cheapest bidder made his calcu
lation on the basis of labjr at eighty
five cents a day, the first named made
a strong effort to pesuade hands not to
work fur that price. The negroes Deing
easily persuaded that it was Uncle Sam’s
intention to pay one dollar per day (and
perhaps throw in a mule and the time
honored forty acres) held an impromp
tu meeting and decided not to work at
tho prices offered. At the commence
ment of the work only about a half a
dozen determined white men announced
themselves readj to manipulatethe pick
and shovel. This force was gradually
increased to about a score, when the
negroes gave in and went to w r ork at
85 cents —not, however, until they had
severely beaten the first one of their
number who accepted the reduced wa
ges, for which two of the ringleaders
Vically got the wages asked—one dollar
pen day from the City Recorder,in the
chain gang. We now hope to have a
Court House, or Post Office,or Custom
House, or whatever it is to be, very
soon. We hope to see a building with
nice, long, roomy steps leading thereto,
on which Uncle Sam’s cherished black
birds may sit, sleep, lounge, sweat, and
jKmd out their rose like odor with a de
gree of solemnity that will be
creditable to Uncle Sam’s liberality as
well as themselves.
Our city is blessed (?) with a supera
bundanceof negroes. Hundreds of them
are loafing around without money, work
or anything to eat. The mortality
among them is fearful. They are dy
ing by dozens, and I might say by hun
dreds. Consumption, scrofula, and oth
er similar diseases-are carrying them off
with wonderful rapidity, while water
melons, stale fruits and vegetables, lend
a helping band in the mournful work.
The merchants and others who have
been away to the watering places during
tlie summer, are gradually returning.
])u“, here. \ rider and everywhere
is now tho cry. The water works have
thus far proved a failure. The piping
bursts in numerous places when the re~
quired force is put on. But this letter
is already too long, so I will close, prom
ising to write you again.
As of yore, Medicus.
Our Horpiiiton Letter.
Mouganton, Ga., Sept. 4, 1875.
Dear Times: Our town was thrown
into considerable excitement the other
day by the arrival of five negro prisoners
who are now lodged in jail awaiting
trial at our fall court; the crime of
which they are accused is odc of the
most brutal murders on record. The
man murdered was a mulatto, by name
Harrison Ilarshaw,living on Persimmon
creek in North Carolina. A good mdHy
of the negroes living around him were
sick, and at length concluded that they
were bewitched, and accordingly sent
to Tennessee for a witch doctor, and he
informed them sure enough that they
were under the influence of an evil
spell, and that tliij Harrison Ilarshaw
was the one that was doing the mis
chief, and if they would spill his life
blood in running water lie could cure
them. Accordingly these five, Dick
Hyatt, Sam Johnson, Ham Hyatt, Ter
rell Young and Albert Jarrett, on a
dark, rainy Saturday night, a little
more than a week since, went to his
house where he was alone in bed, they
forced him to go with them and brought
kirn over into Fannin county, and after
they had cruelly and bruially beat and
mangled him, cut his throat and threw
him into the branch and left him there.
After lie had been missing a day or so
suspicion was aroused, aud Mr. Ander
son, a white citizen, got information
enough from the negroes to justify him
in arresting the five murderers ; they
at length confessed their crime and con
ducted a party to the place where the
dead man was. From the waist up
was eaten entirely up, and could be
identified only by his clothes. It is
said that old Pete Ilarshaw, the father
in-law of the murdered man, was the
instigator of the whole plot, as he both
hated and feared him. llis wife also
was cognizant of the fact, and left homo
on purpose. The white citizens say
that the dead man was honest and reli
able, and more trustworthy than any
of the negroes around there. It is
dreadful to think what ignorance and
superstition combined can do.
I was in Union county last week ;
crops there promise pretty well, but
not so well as ours in Fannin county.
The people there aie suffering from a
revenue panic. Taylor Cobb has taken
the place of Deputy Marshal in order
to free himself from a writ fur making
whisky, and he and his clan are ruining
the county. They have taken up men
for acts committed four and five years
ago, and compelled them to attend
court at Atlanta, taking some in hand
cuffs. They took a man handcuff
ed while I was there ; he was barefooted
and almost naked. His crime was ex
changing four pounds of tobacco that
he had raised himself, for calico and
flannel to make clothes for hia babe, as
he had no other means of providing
for the wee stranger. Such proceedings
as this is a disgrace to sny government.
They are taking up a great many men
on false charges and binding them to
court Those who are guilty of viola
tion of the law generally keep out of
the way and the innocent suffer. I hope
’76 will bring a change to our sunny
South, borne down as it is by oppression
and carpet-baggers. I should like to
hear Senator Norwood in a speech on
our revenue laws.
Our merchants are grumbling consid
erably about hard times and scarcity of
money. Mr Bryant is still teaching
school with gbodly numbers and lively
prospects. Heaven speed him in the
work ; there is no nobler task than
training immortal minds.
Death does not pass us by. An in
fant of 31 r. Pittman, the Morganton
shoemaker, went from the sufferings of
earth to the joys of heaven, day-belore
yesterday.
The fanners have been enjoying a
short season of rest since crops were
laid by, but they will soon be as busy
as bees again saving their fodder, mak
ing syrup and seeding. Then there will
be the corn to gather and crib, and by
that time rude Boreas will be around
again, and they can sit by their fireside
and quietly enjoy the fruits of their la
bor. May Ebon.
Letter from Starke County.
Midville, 9£ C. 11. 11., )
Burke County, Ga., Sept. 3,1875. j
Editor Calhoun Times: Thinking
you might yield space in your valuable
columus for a few jottings from this
part of our glorious old State, I write
you. Time and again since my depart
ure from your town has this idea sug
gested itself, but until now procrastina
tion has had the upper hand.
At this season 1 divine the most ap
propriate theme will be the agriculture
of this section. I have conversed with
a number of planters from the sur
rounding country within the last two or
three days, and also with gentlemen liv
ing in the city who have recently re
turned from little jaunts to the coun
try, and they all say that corn and cot
ton ivas suffered terribly from the late
drought and intense heat, and more par
ticularly from the scissor-like western
winds which have curled- to pig tails,
and dried out all the moisture and sap
from the toD limbs and leaves of the
cotton plant, causing it to shed its leaves
and partially matured fruit vich fearful
rapidity. At this writing the clouds
are hanging low. and the indications
are that we will be refreshed with a de
lightful shower. Peas, potatoes, etc.,
have suffeied in a corresponding degree
from lack of seasons. From all quar
ters come complaints, and on all sides
are seen long faces. Although greatly
damaged, our people are indeed thank
ful that lie who ruleth the word of His
His power has not put upon them a worse
visitation, and it is to be hope! that an
advance in the price of cotton will re
munerate us for the loss in the crop.
In concluding upon this subject, I hope
the outlook is not so bad as some ap
prehensions paint it. As to the health
of the country, it is good, and in re
gard to school advantages, I am proud
to say old Burke is not behind her sis
ter counties. Most of the schools have
closed after their Spring terms with ex
aminations creditable to both teacher
and Dupil and have edmmeneed again
under nattering prospects. For fear of
having trespassed upon your columns I
will close with a promise to write you
again. Esc.
Relics of Ancient War fare.
The Moniteur del Armee says : Some
workmen occupied at the chatead of
Oonda, in Normandy, have just found
some cannon balls of granite, probably
thrown by the English when that cas
tle was taken by them, in 1417. Those
syheres were found, as might be sup
posed, very defective projectiles, as they
were on the spot or in the quarries, ana
the exact weight could not be correctly
judged ; the centre of gravity was, be
sides, not always in the middle, con
sequently neither the range nor the aim
could be al <vays calculated with precision.
They were for that reason fired from a
great elevation. In 1428 a stone ball,
discharged from the tower of Notre
Dame, at Orleans, killed the Earl of
Salisbury on the opposite side of the
Loire. Some of these projectiles used
during one memorable occasion are still
preserved in the same city ; two of them
measured over thirteen inches in diame
ter, and their weight exceeds 200 pound s
The journal of the siege of that battle
relates in fact, that on the Ist of Decem
ber,l42B,the English batteriesthrev balls
against the town weighing nearly 200
pounds. On the 29th of January, 1429,
Lancelot de Lisle, who commanded the
English, had hii hand carried off" by a
stone shot from the walls.
The dresses of ladies will in futuie,
in accordance with the latest Parisian
fashions, be not only wonderful
ly but fearfully made. The
Paris correspondent of the Ware
houseman and Draper's Journal strikes
the note of warning as to what we are
shortly to expect. Designs, it as stated,
are “not only floral ! and geometric in
their tendency, but zoological.” Exqui
site brocades with
lions, tigers and panthers, “mediaeval
looking beasts” “that are by no means
life-like in there proportions or coloring
and far more nearly allied to the fab
ulous caricatures in stone that decorate
a Gothic cathedral than the savage den
izens of a modern menagerie.” Artists,
it seems, have also gone to museums
and borrowed old heraldic devices with
which to ornament the robes of ladies
who value th eir personal appearance.
Unicorns, winged hulls, and birds are
used profusely. Oriental writing, the
hieroglyphics of the ane’ent Egyptians,
Persian arabesques, and Chinese and
Japanese signs, are artistically conver
ted into patterns. One design is mej -
tioned as being “ peculiarly pretty ;” it
is a scrawl studded here and there with
keys some three inches long. There
are at least thirty sorts of keys of differ
ent epochs, capitally rendered. Or* all
the pleasing novelties, however, which
are being introduced there aie none to
equal a design in which “various insects
are introduced.”
They tell a story in France about a
young deputy who, being drawn into a
duel and called upon to fight! with a pis
tol, w r as extremely nervous and repeat
edly said to his second : “My adversary
will hit me, I know he will. I feel it
in my bones.” “Nonsense,” said the
second ; “your adversary never hitany
thug in his life. He couldn’t hit the
side of a house nor a flock of grave
stones.” The duel came off, and the
young deputy was hit and pretty badly
wounded in the shoulder. While he was
down in the grass, with the doctor bind
ing up the wound, he said to the second
pettishly : “Animal ! I told you he would
hit me “Oh, well,” said the second
coolly, “that was because you stirred ! n
The Post office Department has re
ceived information! that the Mississppi
Valley and Brazil Steamship Company
propose to run a line of steam packets
from Sfc. Louis to Brazil, South Ameri
ca, asking that the United States mail
may be given to their line. The De
partment will grant the request, and
send the mail by their steamers, allow
ing ocean rates of postage as remunera
tion. They expect to start the first
steamer October 1.
Jacob Muller’s orphan asylum, an ex
tensive instution in Bristol, England, is
famous in that county for its reputation
of having been founded and sustained
by prayer. No contributions have ever
been solicited, but when money has
needed praying for it has been kept up.
Disbelievers, of course, in judging of
the efficacy of these prayers,take into
account tbe fact that publicity si given
to them. A terrible epidemic of ty
phoid fever is now raging in the asy
lum, killing many of the children, and
Muller’s prayers seem to have no effect
in stopping its ravages.
The mistress of a summer boarding
house in an interior town, finding her
self one day quite at leisure, in conse
quence of the absence of her patrons on
an excursion, repaired to a neighbor’s
for a chat “I should think you would
feel lonesome to have your boarders
away so,” said her neighbor. “Wall,”
she replied, “I feel‘binder lonesome ; but
it’s a lonesome. It seems j;ust as it
did when T was fust a widder.”
