DOYLE, Omot over Matthew's Jewatt alore. nsaanav. sa- ATI.AXTA, April 29, 1881. The 2;L" p. in. Irain on the Western & At lantic, ou Tuesday last, pulled out from Chat tanooga under n lowering sky. The dark curtains of the norm were beiii" drawn around the landscape ; occasionally a great cloud of mist would almost hide Lookout from sight, and the great height would emerge with something like a frown upon its mighty face. I took one more look pcrh jp5 the last and here I wIH say what I have before for gotten, that the famous White Houe still stands in the dealing, half way up the north ern slope. It is occupied by Mr. Cravens. -who owned it at the tiie of the butlle. The ear was not crowded. There were sceialof the tall and iuJescr.baldy emaciat ed country women who abouudiu tuNiuuun taiu eounlrv ; several men to match ; a man in Southern jeans, who seemed to wi-h to look like a Confederate, but who was leally au Oliioati, and employed by (Jen . Warner, ex-carpet-lug Senator from Alabama, at some iron works he owns in that Slate; a sure- enough Confederate, with 0110 Wooden leg, copperas breeches, aud a slouch hat, going all the way from Texas to his old homo in Georgia; and a gentleman opposite, who looked like Harry Jinstu'ick, and whom I took for a Northern business man. lly the time we had parsed the point of Missionary Uidge, and were bowling along toward the "laud of cotton" aud likewise of "cinnamon seed and sandy bottom," it was raining furiously. The Hat, yellow fields were flooded. -Chickauiauga station was passed unnoticed, for the train was the fast express, aud does not stop at the littlcplaccs. Nothing turned up familial until the brake man called King-gold." I camped on a high hill at tins place, but could sec nothing ol it. It grew darker aud rainier, and more lone some, and 1 went across and sat with the nun who looked like Harry Kostwick. He seemed to know something of the country. I wondered what Illinois or Ohio or Indiana legimetit he had belonged to. Hut it came out iu a little while. He was 011 the "other side ;" had fought us with a battalion of sharpshooters a I the waj from Daltuu down to Atlanta, whore he was wounded. He was an "original secessionist," if I eer inc one He had helped capture the Augusta arsenal at the- lir-t Hash of the rebellion, and had stuck to it as long as he eould Perhaps he would try it again il he had a chance, but I rather think not. As the rain was coming down in torrents, and the thunder was mut tering and the gullies iu the old fields were running lull of yellow water, I remarked that, just as: j matter of taste. I rather pre ferred riding iu a comfortable pas-enger couch, to marching all the afternoon iu the rain, and sleeping between two fence nil N on one of those hill-sides at night, and my Con federate fellow-traveler iptite agreed with me. He was the first Confederate I everim-t who admired Jeff Iav Is. He thought him a great man, and said his forthcoming history would be the fairet account yet given of the war between the States, lie talked Georgia politics some. He was anti-Joe Ilrown and auti-CoIipiit. And, by the way, the latter gentleman is iu trovble. Il is the old State trea-ury trouble. They have had it bad in Missouri. It appears that tho State money is deposited iu banks, and some banks have broken lately, ami when they came to look for Hie money it was not there ; but theGo ernor's notes wore. Flitting the St.de money iu a bad bank and borrowing it yourself Is what the people call it. 1 looked eagerly about at Kinky Vacu and Hiizzard KnoM, but. in the stoim that nln-k-ed about lliecurvts at a high speed, it was impossiblutodistiuguisli anjthlng. 1 pascd within a few feel of where a dear Iriend ol mine, throw lug his hand to his breat, stag gered and Idl with his death wound, but I eould not mark it as we pas-ed. At Dalton the rain seemed to have reached its length, and alter that we saw the tow ns in a ntlky drizzle. They had nearly all great ly improved. Carters ille I should never have known. A new brick town had sprung up iu addition to the woodeu town of old. Kingston looked more natural. Acworth had developed Into quite a handsome place, ilig Shanty has but one 'shanty" still, a raft of a house where tbe tralu takes supper. A smart yellow woman, with her head tied up in a red handkerchief, came through the cars with cups of coffee, milk and sugar on a tray. This looked like "befo' dc wall." Allatooua we missed, hieli we regretted. After pas iug llig Shanty the Confederate aud mjsclf kept a lookout lor an object of mutual Inter est. I called him across, finallv. to look: there it was, painted in black against the murky sky; the high hill with a lower one attached. It was Kcuuesaw. A tall, big mau iu thin, black bombaziuc clothe, began to talk, and explained that he lived In Atlanta. and that the road made a big bend, so that the mountain appeared first ou the left and then on the right, and that he was from Illi nois; and I asked where he was in the days when Kcuuesaw was going into history, or words to thai effect, and lie replied lie was in Chicago, but he said iu a voice liken duett by a tromboue and a bass drum : "'I followed you with the spelling book and the lllble." I hope 1 appreciate both books, but this loud messenger of peace ttepresscd me, and a great stillness prevailed until I shook baud with the Confederate aud got out in the black ucss of darkness at Marietta. There was not much to sec in Marietta aud if there had been it was too dark to see it. They said Mrs. Francis Willard was appoint ed to speak on temperance, at the court-house but I drank ol the fountain freely flow iug on that subject at TopekAhut winter, and felt thoroughly saturated, and went to bed with out hearing Mrs. Willard ; aud every time 1 woke in the night I could hear the rain pour ing down and a gutter spout dripping, and.lt made me think of "Bleak House." In the morning, and "hit a rainin," as Sut Lovcngood says, I went across to the livery siainc and presented a card to Mr. Chuck Anuerson. I asked that gcutlcuian if he could give me information respecting the military lines about Kennesaw. and Chuck, a large, hearty, soldierly-looking man, said, "So ir, I served in the Virginia army," aud so we undera.ood each other. Before break fast I went to the National Cemetery, and aetCapt liugbci, the gallant keeper, and gathered a rose bud from the grave of poor, young John McGovern, of "Ours," who was killed at the crossing of the Chattahoochie ; and after breakfast Mr. Anderson seat out a little black, the best "single foot racket" in Cobb cocnty, so I started for Kennesaw. Going out along a long maple-shaded "lane, I overtook a grey-headed, homespun-clad farmer, on a white horse. He was reading a letter, and after learning where I was from he handed me the envelope. It was post marked Atchison The oldman.whose name was Green, said he had two daughters in Atchison, and told me all about them, which is not material to this narrative. After awhile he made another 1 cvelation. He said, speak ing of a period during the war, "At that time, I was down here at a place called An- dersonville. "And were you guarding our men there" "I was." f looked at tho old man with genuine curiosity. I had never before heard a human being admit that he had had any tin ng to do with that awful place. However, he seemed an honest old man, and I told him I should be glad to hear his side of the story. He went on, in a very candid way at some length. He said that never, in his life, had he offered an insult or an injury to a prisoner. A prisoner of war could not be made comfortable. At Andcrsonviile tho prisoners suffered for shelter; but the ra tions issued them were exactly the same as those issued to the guards ; pretty rough he admitted. The hospital, he said, was not a bad place, and the rations there issued were better than the guards received. Wirtz he did not believe a bad hearted man. He was a passionate man, but with a streak of humor 11 him He cursed and threatened every body, prisoners and guards alike, but, after damning tbe object of his w rath, lie frequent ly relented. He did not deny the great nior tailty at the prison, but he said there was a great difference in the prisoners; some were always active, engaged in something and kept thcm-elies as clean aspossible; while others sank into n sort of apathy, lay about, would not wash themselves, and died because they seemed not to care to live. The old man hav in finished his story went his road, and I went into the woods and went on to the house of Mr. Kirk, who had been recommended by "Chuck" as familiar with the country. We w ere then under the front or Uig Kennesaw. The Kirks the father and a grown son mounted mules and started with me along the loot of the mountain. We pacd a heavy work which had evidently boon built by the Confederates to prevent a Hank movement In cac we turned the Little Kennesaw end of the mountain. The old man said he had been employed after the war to accompany the party who removed the Federal dead, buried scattered about on the slopes of the mountain ami elsewhere, to the cemetery at Marietta, aud knew ev ery foot of the ground. It was plea-ant riding along in the dimp woods, eroding the brawling mountain streams, and admiring the great masses of honcysucMcs which shone in the great Jnrest, and a score of other flowers I did not know by name. The old man told me that, after the war, the woods were full of gun, shells, bayonets, and other old iron, and that he lived a year or two by hauling his findings to the foundry. Some pcople,he said, cut the bullets out ot the trees and sold quantities of lead. We turned the extreme point of the moun tain, and the old man led on to where he was ccitain my regiment was placed. I was cer tain he w as wrong, but he said he could go directly to a place w here "they were all jammed up together," where the "head logs" were as lull as they could hold ol bullets, and where the Federal aud Confederate dead were found side by side. 1 thought this must be the scene of the assault iu which Col. Dan McCook.of ourdivision, was killed ami his command faiglit fully cut up. He led to i spot, but it was not tht spot. The old man seemed reluctant to tide over rough places, and inanilestcd a general want of 011-terpri-r, and to wcdismirscdhini, and voting Mr. Kirk went on duty as guide." We founj wolks and works in the thick woods Here were our lines running straight acioss the country, ami there were rifle pits ol both armies; verything in regular order, ju-t as it had brcn left. The Confederate lines were very strong. Iu one place the ditch was filled with young poplars thirty fei't high, but the parapet had not in the least lost its outline or dimiui-bed iu height. Some of the old rifle pits were faced on the inside angle with logs, now mos-y aud dc cajing. illackberries grew rank in theditch tangled creeper aud vines massed on the slope. All was in the deu-c shade, and all was silence w here was heard once the sharp hum of the sliirmiliers bullets, changing at Ilme to an unearthly bi-s as they glanced from some tree and Hew haltered through the air. The little black took everv thing he came to i lumbering over works and feeling his sure footed way across the old ditches. Wc rode back along the line until wc came to the line of works directly in fi out of Little Kenne saw and c!oe lo the mountain. There was the old Ineastwoik, jut as the regiment left it; there was the aliuot petpendicular steep of the mountain with the rocky wall near the top; there was thu old place of the Confed erate battery on the mountain ovcrourhcad, aud 1 knew that behind was the field where It.inutt with hi" gnus opened upon that bat tery and hut it up. We then went strsi-rht to the mountain. and up the side, di-mounting aud leading the animals as we ncared the crest, and had to pick our way among the boulders. We came out on a lower ridge between the two mountain, then turned to Little Ken nesaw, and in lew minutes rode up nn the parapet of the Confederate bat tery, on the sunny, wind-swept heighl and looked donn to the spot where I had once looked very anxiously up. The work was in veiy good shape, wilh traverses aud embra-ures for four guns. The vegetation at the mountain showed the effect of elevation ai.d sterility. The masses of rocks were covered with moss; cactus was abundant, aud the oaks were stuulcd, twisted and covered with moss. Wo found the top of Big Kennesaw nearly destitute of vegetation; rocks were piled about. It was used by both armies as a signal station. The view was line. A great, low. green forest plain, broken by ploughed fields and crossed by the red lines ol country roads, lay beneath us. At that height smaller elevations arc nut perceivable. The sky line was broken by the Blue Uidge ; by the solitary rise of Lost Mountain, and the haystack shaped outline of Stone Mountain. Below us the white houses of Marietta shone amid the trees; twenty miles away asolitary spire and a cloud of smoke betokened the site cf Atlanta. It was a good place to have passed a sunny day, but we left it to the shadowy cows and the phantom pig, who seemed to have pre empted the location. The young man told me about himself as wc rode along. He was born within a mile of Kennesaw and had never been seventy miles from home. He was a thild when the war came, but remembered all about it, He remembered the Union officers had occupied one end of their cabin, and he had looked through their field gla-ses. A shell struck the cabin one day, but he did not think he had ever known fear The "old man" had got through the world early and easy. He was on duty at Savannah at one time, ind dreamed "powerful dreams" of all the Yan kees would do to the country. Kvcrything had "come true." He said many Northern people came to Marietta in the summer time. Several North ern men lived iu the city. He knew and re spected thera very much. One of them he named, and said he could have any office in the county he wanted. He was certain there was no prejudice against Northerner to this1 part of the country. He thought there was a prejudice agaiust working men like him self. He said that they bad two grades of Baptist churches in Marietta oa. for tb rich, another for the poor. The development of the country he regarded as woaderluL Land that I laughed at he said was well worth flOanacrc. Cotton growing was on the increase, and 15,000 bale were marketed at Marietta in the season. The use of fertilizers was increas ing. "Now," said he, "I am nothing but a little jackass farmer, but I used thirty-two hundred pounds of guano last year." Much more he told me, and pointed out, with a re quest that I call tbe attention of tbe public to it, "Bill Haines' peach orchard" on the northern slope of Big Kennesaw. Down tbe road, up which the Confederate artillery was dragged now traversed by tourists and picnic parties wc wended our way, thence down one narrow lane and up another to the mansion of the Kirks, with the rail fence around it and the hollow- tree ash-hopper in the yard. They brought me a drink of the coldest and clearest water, and -"old times come again' it. was in a gourd If there is any moral to this story, it is that the Kansas man who is tired of the prairie and the wind and the sun, and would fain refresh his soul, should come to3Iarietta, ask Mr. Chuck Anderson for the "Sister po ny," hunt up young Marcus Kirk, and go to Kennesaw. X. Throojh the 8outa "Ihe Oat C1.7.' Sjtr ISO. XIV. Atlanta, Ga., April 90. Coming back to Marietta a few minutes too late for the Atlanta train, there was nothing for it but au afternoon in that drowsy scat of justice in and for the county of Cobb. Marietta has its busy season. Marcus Kirk thought i in the cotton selling season a sec ond New York. It claims 3,000 inhabitants, but a qnictcr 3,000 never has existed than pos-esscd the shady town on tho April day to which this record refers. The roomy Ken nesaw house seemed as vast, and far more empty than the Mammoth Cave. Silence pro found reigucd on the public square. It is surrounded by two story brick business houses. Before the war they were three story, but at the close of the war there were none at all. In the centre of the square is an octagonal park, dark with the shade of the trees. Kadiating from the square are long streets lined with residences of a pat tern pecuiiar, it seemed, to Marietta, white, one story, very wide, with piazzas in front with classic wooden lea tu res of Greek mod els. These wooden columes seem to have ap peared all over the south at once, and their size aud hcightii imiicatcd the wealth aud aristocracy of the owuer ot the mansion Of course these white mansions were eiubon cr- cd in such vines and shrubbery as would make a northern gardener turn as green as the leaves themselves with envy. Nature docs more lor every little southern town iu this way than nature aud art can do, or at least have done for us, in any Kansas metropolis. Marietta did notlookshabbybyanymcaus. It was only resting under its thousand trees. Everybody wassittingdown. Themcrchants brought out eanc-scatcd chairs and sat on the mossy brick sidewalks in front oi their stores; the ladles, as the evening drew on. sat 011 the low, wide front verandas, or in the open doorways; the children did not run about and whoop, after the manner of the owth of Kansas, but sat around iu a ring on the ground, and plajed some game iu which legs do not count. A very restful place is Marietta when the sun goes down. I gath ered no information about the city, l'eofle ate not communicative in a city of three thousand, where the po totlic its closed at five o'clock, p. m. Iu the dusk the fast train on the Western & Atlantic bore me on to Atlanta. Nothing seemed to so tell me that peace had come as the fact that you make the run from Chatta nooga to Atlanta in live hours; aud tho jour ney before cot so many weary, bloody weeks. Killing along in the soil April night, and gazing at the sky and stars which shone with unusual btiiliancy, I tried to reconstruct the Atlanta I had seen last, but it was a dillieult ta-k. We had conic into the town lrom Joucs borough, having taken part iu the movement called by the boys the "swing around by Ked Oak," and the consequent battle at Joncsborough. We lay in the open ground at the suburb, Whitehall, lor a few days. Then the command went off o 1 a long chase after Forrest, in Nortli Alabama, and I was lelt in Atlania. It secmedlikca town strick en with the plague. It was hot, d.tsty, des olate. The inhabitants were nearly all gone ; there did not even seem to be many troops in the place nothing but wagon trains aud mules. The monotony was insufferable, and I started out iu pursuit of the regiment, and met it at Koine, coming back from the For rest "water haul," and then trudged back to Atlanta again. Camping on a rise iu the edge of town that night, I saw the city burn, or at least every house or shop in it which could be of any use to the Confederacy. It wa a lire that no one tried to extinquish. The flames ro-c agaiust the sky of night, it seemed, with a sort of steady, destructive purpose. The hundreds of shells tired into the town, and which had not exploded, bur t as the lire reached them. This lasted all night. Iu the morning wc uurched away, going around the town, as one would shun the sight of a dead man 1 Ing iu the woods. After leaving Marietta the train m ide few stops, as If there was nothing woilh consid cring except Atlanta. The pine woods ceas ed all at once at the dancing flames and dusky shadows of what seemed a rolling mill; then there v Isible somewhere the hundred gleaming w unions of a cotton factory; then here we were iu lhe heart of a city, under the great open archway ot a car shed, tiuion depot we would call it in Kansas ; and street car bells were ringing, aud a loug line of hacks were waiting, and there were great hotels, all alight from sidewalk to cornices; and long lines of stores of aU sorts, with open doors, and tilled with people, and this was Atlanta. I had found business aud beau ty lor ashes. Il had been my purpose to write something about the remains of the war about Atlanta, but there is nothing in the city to remind one that there had ever been a war. Atlanta is the new creation of peace. Everything you see is less than twenty years old, even the trees that shade the streets. There was some old iron and an ash heap here once, but that has nothing to do of the Atlanta of now. I do not pretend to account lor the exis tence ol Atlanta. It is called the "Gate City,' because it licj jut a little outside of me iai mountain nuge wulcli crosses the State of Georgia. Hut there arc jtistas good "gates" any w hero within aradins of fifty miles. It is not as near the centre of the State as Macon. There was not much expected of it at first. They cut out a place In the scrub oaks among the low red hills and called it Martinsville a compliment to the daughter of Governor Lumpkin. Now, nobody ex pected Marthasv ille to be a great place, any more than it is expected that any of the hun dred "Jimtowns" In the United State will rise to celebrity. As soon as it was seen that the town had the grow in it. Marthasvillc gave way to Atlanta big aud classical. I suppose the purchase of Cherokee- Geor gia beyond the Chattahoochee helped Atiau U, but iu day came with the railroad. It must have been the first town in the south to be built by railroads. It was probably gifted with the railroad spirit Irota the first. jut as some colts of no pedigree turn out to le famous flyers, like Goldsmith Maid. At the the outset ol the war Atlanta had a great name, bnt small towns in a rural country like tbe old south had a great reputation. Our soldiers were greatly surprised, on en tering some of thec metropolises, to observe that they were little more than Tillages. With the war crime Atlanta's destruction and advertisement. 'It is no small thing for a town, no matter under what circumstan ces, to be mentioned for three or four months in cry newspaper In the world. The rail roads were tors up and the depots burned dawn, sad what more natural than that, at the close of the war, they should be restor ed. Had tkere been bo war I Sraly believe there would have been no Atlanta as we bow know it. Some northern -Ben went there once, Kimball for one, ami while the carpet bag regime Is a thing of the past, it lasted loBg enough to make Atlaata tbe capital of the State, and toother things which will help Atlanta as long as oae stone remains upon another. Some southern cities moaned and sulked awhile after tbe war. Atlanta did not, and I found a proof of it before I bad looked about the town half an hour, Tbe public library, the first place I visited, owns property val ued at 935,000, and it was started in in 1807, two years after the close or the war. I found the nine thousand volumes in a lofty ball, with alcoves marked "nistory," "1'oetry," "Romance," and so on, and there was an open roof ceiling.andstaincdglass windows, and a wide gallery and much magnificence, and they told me that the institution was started in 1SC7, only two years after I saw the hereinbefore mentioned fire. One would have thought that books and pictures were the last things to be thought of at such a time. The librarian was a young man, and very courteous He brought me General Joseph E. Johnston's history of his opera tions iu defense of Georgia and Atlanta, and I wish to digress -enough Ijcrc to say that General Johnston tells the truth, whatever Jeff. Davis or anybody else may say about it. The gallery is devoted to works of art, por traits, so far. of Georgia civillians, great and small, and Confederate generals Lee, John ston, Cobb, and others. There are several Confederate battle flags in glass cases. As a northerner, or rather as an American, I might have liked it better had there been a Union general or two, say Mcl-hcrsoa or Thomas, on the wall, or hanging up some where the flag of the United States, ol which Georgia is supposed to be a member at present; but I was satisfied iu knowing that the northern idea was here in the. shape of these books, and that had it not been for the victory of the Union troops there uev er would have-been any public library at all. The Confederacy, had it succeeded, would never have established any libraries, you may be sure of .that. Among the portraits I noticed that of Senator Joseph E. Brown, or, iu common talk, Joe Brown. This was prop er. He took the bonds issued to erect the building. His son, Julius L. Brown, is the president of the association. Gov. Brown is a South Carolinian, I believe, but not of the hereditary aristocracy of that country. He looks like the shrewd old Yankee farmer I have seen act as moderator in a Vermont town me-ting. After looking through the library I went to the capito). It was Kimball's opera hou-c once, and was sold to the State for a good figure, at which Georgia howled, if I re member rightly, but it makes a good enough capital. The oflices arc quite as good as those in the Tennessee capital. The halls arc plain, dirty sort of rooms, Iu the Rep resentatives' hall are sonic old pictures which somehow got through the war, and were brought from Millcilgeville. One of Jeffer son, I noted, because his hair was of the right color, not common in his pictures. Three were of Oglethorpe, first governor of Georgia. The janitor, a young man who had lost a leg and arm .in the Conlederacy, called it Oglethorpe. Governor Colquitt, who is always ready to talk, or if called upon, to sing and pray with any visitor, was not in the building. They arc to have a new c.ipi lol at Atlanta, and the site has already becu selected. For the rest. I made only a very general survey of Atlanta. The readers of the Chataplvn know just howjl flourishing city of 40,000 Inhabitants looks, and that is sub stantially the way Atlanta looks". There is, however, the dash and racket about Atlanta peculiar to a new town. It is all less lhau twenty years old. There is a profusion of street ear lines, and the run on alt the priitci streets, and all centre at the union depot, or as they call it in Atlanta, the car sheds. 1 rode out in the evcuiug ou IYachlrcc and Washington and McDonuugh streets, and saw ab-olutely the latest styles in the way of residences. Il looked like an architect's ex position. Every style; you pay your money and yon Like your choice. Such porches, and pinnacles, and arches and recesses, aud piazzas and verandahs, aud galleries and porches, and everything as new as if it had been built yesterday, as most probably it was. I'eachticc street was miitc alive with dashing turnouts, and all the piazzas were tilled with ladies and children, and occasion ally a husband and father who had not ) ct started down town to the lodge. It was very gay. They told me this house was built by a cotton dealer, and that by a tobacco nrin, and so on. Tim southern business man loves 16 spend his money and make a show. His surplus!! cash formerly went to organize a personal staff of colored servant", who kept him waiting for whatever he waiited all the days of his life, and redounded more to his glory than his comfort; but now he builds a tine house on the bc"t street in town, or puts up .1 business block with his name on the front iu large letters. I tiny say that Gov cr nor Brown's singularly un-Carolinlan like disposition shows ilst-lf in a very plain man sion, though lie has money enough to buy a street. There were stories about ome of the hou(s, and in one fine man-ion I was told there had lived a poor mad woman. Marry ing against her wish, the came tc live in this finehoue. The man she loved aud rejected came to live in the next house. She saw him come and go, day by day. She heard his foot step on the walk, his hand upon tne latih but not at her gate late at night, and her brain turned under the strain, and she be came a violent maniac. Tbe story was told me by a woman, bf course. It was the only romance I heard in Atlanta, aud I tell it as it was told me. I believe manufacturing has not yet be come a leading interest iu Atlanta, but it i growing. UIcs your soul, they are going lo have everything In Atlanta. There is a big cotton factory. In any other tow n it would have been lit with gas, but in Atlanta it is il luminated with the electric light. There are cotton cotnprcs-cs. and foundries and fer tilizer works. The south has the fertilizer mania bad, and "guano" in big black letters. There is au ice factory no southern town of size can get along without one now ; there are car works and planing mills, and various sorts of .wood working factories, and they manufacture cotton gins, and are about to give the northern manufacturers some com petition in the way of making wagons. The mot enormous development is in the way of hotels. I doubt if any other town in tbe world of it size has as many large hotels. The Kimball house is big enough for Chica go, and was built in less time than any house ol the same size in America, aud all the ho tels appeared to be crowded. Atlanta is a great town lor excursions and receptions. I was pointed out, atone of the celebrities of the town, the captain of the "Gate City Guards'tbe crack military corps of the city, who do the leading procession. A few days before my arrival the southern decoration day was observed, the Gate City Guards turned oat with tbe Cadet, and the graves of both the Union and Confederate dead were strewn with flowers. Spe-akin-of soldiers, a small artillery garrison l kept here in a range of ugly wooden building known a theMel-henon barracks. Bulre ular solJiers make a town look peaceful rath er than otherwise. Of cour- I visited the OnjitimlU. office. Tbe Centlilulwn U regarded as the leading southern newspaper. The editor, Mr. Finch, is lrom HornelltTiilr, X. V., and wan brcurat up with Dwight Thatcher, I found Mr. Finch in a rusty editorial room of tbe as-cicnttype- It did not eTen rival the modest nine years ago, and associating himself with natire citizens, has built up the best paying paper south ol Louisville. The Cetiu:im ias "made it" by identifying- itself with its section, employing the best southern talent, and discarding the "gags" that made the old fashioned soutbern,billious,bombas'.ic news- paper a laughing stock. The CtmitUuHon reaches out with an iron hand after the long haired country "CunncL" who in the Jnj nclia SUttom&Ktl the Soutltr CiUtefU, talks about "paladins," and "knights," and the "master race," and "mercenary Yan kees," and all that roL At the same time the Conitilution is a southern paper. It has developed "Bill Arp," and "Uncle Remus," and published the best sketches ol the old south that l know or, the recollections ol Colonel VT. U. Sparks, the author of Rem iniscences of Fifty Years.' Mr. Finch ap pears abundantly satisfied wilh the situa tion. He said to me that about the first thing a southern politician had to say now was that slavery was fortunately abolished, and that secession was a great mistake. He thought northern people could do well in Georgia, but that it would be plcasanter for them to come in colonics not for protection or anything of that kind, but for society's sake at first. The old south was isolated from tbe rest of the world by slavery. Au isolated people are everywhere a vain peo ple knowing no other, they esteem them selves above everybody else. The barrier re moved, southern people are coming to be lieve the German saying, "Beyond the moun tains there are men also.' Mr. Joel Chandler Harris, "Uncle Kcmus," is an associate editor of the C&ttitutu, and d -cs the paragraphing work beside the "Un cle Remus" papers. Mr. Harris is a native of Georgia, a boyish looking man, with red hair, a freckled race, a retreating double chin, aud wears the eleven dollar eassimere suit adopted as the uniform of the "Inter state Press Association," organized at To peka last winter. He has served his time also at the ease. Jlr. Harris is Very quiet in nis ways, says little, aud docs all bis laugh ing internally. Jle is a success. Uncle Remus" is read all over the south, and quite as generally, I think, In tbe north, aud has warmly commended by literary critics in Eugland. Southern people expressed v at ious opinions. One geutlemab thought lhe dialect exaggerated ; another that Mr. Har ris "put too much brains in the nigger;" but Colonel Sparks, thau whom no bcttcrau thoiity exists iu the south, testified to the perfect fidelity to nature, of "Uncle Remus'" talk. There is a wonderful touch of kind ness about the old darkej's talks, of late, with the "little sick boy." which, it seems to me. must touch every heart, and stamps the writer as a skillful player upon that won drous instrument. 1 have referred to Colonel . II. Sparks. a gentleman known throughout the south. It was my good fortune to pass u few mo ments in the society of this venerable gen tleman and his bright wife. All his life long the companion ot and friend of the most distinguished men of hi. section, as welt as many northern statesmen of the old school ; familiar with all the upper walks ol politics and society, he has retained a wonderful fund of recollections, which he gives you in the dearest and most charming maimer. 1 called to talk to him about lhe old song of "Rosin lhe Bow," of which he has given the world the ouiy true version and history. The title is a corruption of "Kosstim the Beau," and Kossum was au actual personage. He, Colonel Sparks, not Kossum. i-iformcd me that the air was a very old one, a Methodist hymn tunc. "1 heard it," said iny good chronicler, in Bishop Asbury's time." Colo nel Sparks gave me some interesting bits of information about Judge Longstreet, whose "Georgia Scenes" have so long been admired, and he claimed for James Lnng-treel, the grandfather of General Longstreet the llrst man to practically apply steam power lo riv er navigation, the river being the Savannah. Colonel Spark-" book, "The Keinini-cciices or Fifty 'Years," Is a dclightlul volume, and will be more prized win 11 the d.ij s or the "Old South" shall be with the "jear be yond the Hood." The State or Georgia has established an ag ricultural department, similar iu Its purposes to our 0W11. Ir Thomas I. Janes, commis sioner of agriculture, has Issu d 11 little "Manuel of Georgia," which I have found very useful. I also met Mr. J. HenlevSmitli, of Atlanta, who Is interested iu real estate operations, and who extended lo me ninny courtesies, and as a slight return for them, I advi-ed him to goto Kansas, where the great land grant railways have reduced laud scliiug to an extremely fine point. and where the real estate agents are the most cloqtic nt, imaginative, audacious and Micccsslut in the world. Mr. Smith believes in noithcrn emi gration to Georgia, and is working for It. The city and Its people so engrossed my attention that I went but once bevoudit precincts, aud that wa- tovitil Clark uni versity, a Methodist school for colored stu dents, to which Mrs. Chrismau, ofTopcka, has given .?10,0ut). I found a'good building, surrounded by the natural forrc-t, a mile or two beyond the city limits. Thi preildcut aud some ol the profcs-or were ab-cnt, but the steward was bu-y, iu charge or a lot ot colored students, in erecting a mechanical building, ia which carpentering and other trades were taught an excellent Idea. He reported the school in a flourishing condi tion. Most towns disappoint us. Atlanta does not. The only dilllculty In writing about It is as I have stated, its resemblance to other prospcrou cities ol its size. It c'atms 42,- (W0 people. It is well built, 4u modem style, aud is filled with the men or the day. And as tlio drowsy tillage or Millcilgeville, the old capital of Georgia, compare with Atlan ta, so will the Georgia ol the pa-t compare with the Geargia of the future, of which At lanta will be, as now, tbe "Gate City." N. to TitaaLi mroim One November evening, a ttn years ago, I had occasion to travel Iron Cannes street to Spa road station, on the Seathenstern rail way. It was a cold, foggy day throughout, and there were comparatively few passen gers. Tbe eon-parttnentnient which I enter eda second-class bad but one previous oc cupant, stoutly built man or thirty-Ire or forty. He was attempting, with evidently small success, to read a book, and he fidget ed about in his seat iu rather a testy fashion. Having a doubt as to the regularity of tbe trains on such an evening, I said, "I suppose this train stops at Spa road I" "Spa road ! Of course it does," Id (his gentleman, with what 1 co sldcred ueaeces sary vehemence. AU these trains stop at Spa roadl" "Don't thank me, sir." he said, a momeut later; "I only answered a simple question- a fool or madman could no thaL" Here the train slowly moved off, and the speaker, whose face I had not yet seen, re sumed his efforts to read, muttering now and again an imprecation at tbe expense of the fog and tho cold. When wc reached the glass dome of the Borough market, the train came to a stop, and for the first time I found musclf In a po sition to obtain a good view of my fellow passenger, Hitherto he hail obstinately kept his back or shoulders toward me. Now be threw bis volume dow n on the seat and fac ed about. He was, as I have said, a man lu tbe full prime of lire. Rather over the aver age height, he had the broad shoulders, full chest and nervous hands or an athlete. The Impression which h'.s features produced was decidedly unpleasant. Yet, save for the eyes, w hich had a peculiar and indescribable glare about them, the face was not au unhandsome one. "I did not know that we were so close to tlic Ctystal palace," he said, burlesqucly. "The Crystal palace 1" I said, tn some sur prise. "H'c are not near the Crystal pal ace." "The fog has effected your evesighl, my friend, was the reply. "Trouble yourself to look out of this window." "Oh, that," I said, smiling, "You like your joke, sir. I perceive. Tho Borough market must feel -l.it te red, index-.!, to be mis taken for tho Sydenham palace." "Borough market ! OI course, it w as ouly my joke," laughed my companion. But there was no mirth iu the laugh. He now took up his book again, and made another attempt to read. Though he fixed his eyes on the page, and even now and again turned a leaf, it was evident that his reading was little better than a pretense. Indeed, it was so dark in the carriage that to see tha small characters lu an ordinary volume, had become quite initios-lbie. While ho was thus engaged the train reach ed Loudon bridge. The moment we ciiterid the station my companion, who had drawn nearer me, returned to his seat in the comer Tarlhcst from the platform. From this he gazed with evident eager interest upon lhe people passing and repassing the canlagc door. As at Cannon street, the number was not great, and we were still atone when tho train again moved off. The iiiomeut we were outside of the sta tiou a change camo over my fellow pns-en-gcr He threw his book 011 the floor, and rose to his feet. Hitherto I had, being pre occupied wilh my own thought , given sinal. heed to him. Now, without knowing why. I frit myself lacin.itcd. There was a light lu his dark eye, au expression iu his mouth, which at once repelled and attracted me. "Havoyou been niticli of a traulcri" he asked, suddenly He was standing wilh his back to the door, watching lue curiously. "I have Hover been out of the island," I replied. "Ah J" he said. "I have 1 en every where Italy. Kus-ia, India, China, Timbuctoo, A-hantei. an) where-everywhere. I have been near the norlli pole, ami quite at the south." "Indeed, au um-t be a verv great travel er, sir," said I. "I have nevtr been to the moon. No man ea 11 be a great traveler who h:ls not belli there." Then I'm alr.iid that, with the exception of those famous heroes of Jules Verne, t'lerr are very few about." 'Juslso, just sol And utiiirlpitptiti'jve this detestable fog beyund the clouds would be enjoyable. In a night like this It would be peculiarly so; dan't you think so?" "Not quite," I said; for my ou 11 part I'd much rather ba at my tiredde." "You wou'd, would jour Look nt that, smell that, taste that cursed log-." lie Ihri w up the window, and certainly tiiefogtli.it poured in was bad enough, In alli-oii-clcm. e. "I grant nii il Is not pleasant, elthcrfor eves or throat," I said. "I knewjou would,' continued my strange companion. "Any man would be glad to get out ?f it. The man who ro'il-l fret- you trom It would de-cn c J our thanks, would he not?" There wa 3 light i'l the speaker's ryes which I Hd not tike, and there was a move ment at tfm corners of his month the oppo site of pteaauL Willi not fwlill-f tbe least dread of hl:n, I wasycinotwlthout astrange desire to reach Spa road. As bid litckwould hnc it, while yet nehad not made half the short journey, Uip train again came to a-ud-den stop. "Yes, he would be a public benefactor who his teeth gnashed angrily against each other. Life is dear, and I feH no iacaaUon to yield mine without a desperate struggle. Itore y antagonist hand from my threat, and for a moment forced him to act on the dcrsa sive. I shouted again add again for helpmd how I longed for Spa Road, ao words ran describe. Tho train wa now running at a good rate, and I knew tho station could not be far off. If only I conld bold my own for one-half minute, all would be safe. Pausing la his exertions for a momenf, the madman suddenly quitted me. Just then to my horror, tbe train rushed through 'my sta tion without even slacking speed. I was la tbe wrong train, and there was no hone f assistance till we reached New Cross. It was evident that my fellow-passengers bad not heard my shouts for assistance. Without a word of warning, my compan ion again threw himself upon me, this time with a fury so resistless that I was borne to the floor. "Wo shall go to the moon," he shrieked. "I have a knife we can cut our way through the fog." I Mt myself helpless. My previous exer tion had exhausted my strength, while that of the maniac seemed to increase with the struggle. Strive a 1 might, I was utterly In hi power now. How slowly the train seemed to move, I believe now that it wa going at a good speed but to inc it appeared to progress at a snail's paee. Aud hovT curiously -vivid were my thoughts. I saw the home where I was e.v peeled, aud kind faces waiting to greet me. I wondered what they'd say when they heard of my death. I caught mysetf thinking how ugly were the madman's cyrs, and I eveu no ticed the color of his necktie: blue, wilh white spots. 1 no longer felt any inclination to shout for help. To all I looked upon my self ns dead. I even began to think ot my self as a third person, and to lament, En a philosophical fashion, the lll-rortuue which cut off, at the beginning of Ids career, a pro nitslngyoungniau. Then I remembered that I owed a shoemaker for a pair of boots, and I pitied the uuforluuatc tradesman for the bad debt he had made. While these aud a hundred other thoughts were passing through my brain, it set-rued to me that au ago had transpired. In reality I do not suppose that at the outside, more than a minute b.u. elapsed since my unlucky fall. Suddenly, as In a dream, I heard tha uiadmin, who now was scttcd astride my rhct, Msifc "We'll cut our way to the moo; my knife Is sharp. Let's try it on your throat.' AVIlh curious deliberation, lie drew a strong pocket knife, and opened it. "AH right, friend, ch J" ho cried, laughing "Now ml, d, do not leave the-carriagv! til' I come up to you. "I am swift," said I, and I declare I did not recognize my own voice. "If I go fiit. you shall ceitaluly not overtake me; you start, aud I'll foliovv." "Mu start?" "Yes; you're braver, stronger, and jou have the knife; you must g i'rst, to cJrar the way." 'Of course, I forgot tii.it," he crlt-d, a", most to my horror, so utterly was I surprised "Of course, I forgot that," he cried again. "I mu-t clear tha way." Still sitting on me, ho deliberately drew the bright liladu acrota his throat. In another moment I was deluged with blood. At the same time, flic knife fell from his iiciveh ss grap. To spring to my foct, to seize the open wound and press the rdges together. was the work of an Instant- though thesud den escape made mo stagger At tl.o same moment we reached New Cross station, aud a porter threw open lhe carriage, door. Fortunately, the seir-llilUtedwouiidofthr madman did not provo fatal. Ultimately I heard that Ihe blood-letting had a bnnertelal effect ou his brain. I dl-cntcred nest day that he was a most dangerous lunatic, M ho had managed to e-capi from a private ) turn. To my surprise', w.'icn I looked at the thick t Now Cross, I found th it the Journey from L-ii:dou bridge had not taken ten Minutes. They were certainly the lottge-l ten minute I ever spent.
