INDIAN SPRINGS, (GA.) Aug. 20, 1874.
One Of your old correspondents, in due
course of human events, finds himself al
this very agreeable watering place, which, from
resort OF the gay and fashionable, the invalid
and gourmand, may be well called the!Saratoga Of
Georgia. Thispace is near the centre Of the State,
in beautiful high, healthy, undulatng fertile Sec
ton of country affordng, from its facility of ac-
cess, an admirable retreat for the wealthy rice and
cotton planters Of Georgia and Florida, and he adj
jacent part of South Carolina. Here we find all
manner and conditions Of men and women, from
the cottage to the palace, from the most intel.ec.
tual and highly gifted, to the most stolid and stu.
pid, rem the age of sober consideration and re.
flection to the giddy and ephemerul pensioner for
ideas upon the tender mercy and compassionate
charity OF an hour Here also we find the politi-
cian OF the noisy bar roo,l species, the most con-
tempuble OF all Gods creation, overfiowing with
knowledge and patriotism, girdlng on his armour
to do battle for the cause OF his master in the ides
Of November; and the military man, the hero of
many unought Greek and Seminole battles, speak
ing in dulcet delight Of his hair breadth escapes,
'shis agony and bloedy sweat, his torture and pro-
baton, his bravery, his prowess his skill in arms,
and here the degenerate scion Of noble stock
boasting of the deeds of his ancestry, the cotton
planter with his a-sbsorbng topic, the Glow price
of the staple," the merchant, stock jobber, bank
financier, Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart, all
Willing away the tedium of time, dull and mono
tous; then we find the beau with his gorgeous plu-
mage, dancing attendance on the smiles and frowns
Of his fair one and the would-be gallant, the wild
over, he who has been burnt in The crucible, he
who has passed through the mill, ready and will
ing, yea " morbldly" SO, to take on himself once
more (and again If necessarily the obligations,
intents andipurposes OF matrmony. But, girls, be-
ware.
Well, Bennett, my dear fellow, know that you
love the women; Will say something about them.
Then, first Of all, will say that no part Of this
great and glorious confederacy can boast of more
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, and none OF these
can ever produce finer article than we now find
in this market; in point of beauty, refinement, and
the more rational considerations our girls here are
entirely unsurpassed ; and need partcuIarlze,
should bring up Tor notice Misses Virginia and
Laura s. OF Twiggs Co., and Misses Wihelmina
L., Eliza and Martha M. of Macon-heaven bless
Miss Fanny @. Of Alabama, Miss M Of Jones Co.,
and the millionaire OF Clinton, Miss l.. Such be-
wtchng smiles, such words of gaIcty, such bon
n0fs and compliments, Uor some, such irowns for
others) you may well suppose readers, their society
pleasant and agreeable. And Mrs M attended by
her lovely daughters, to whom have above adver-
ted the very life OF our company here, one Of the
most noble soued beings that the mind can con-
ceive OF: and Mrs. w. gives pleasure to all who are
fortunate enough to form her acquaintance.
OF bcaur, what shall say? There are many OF
them here, but really my mind cannotnow ii, upon
any one who IS remarkably tor anything saving a
great and Indomitable appetite for wedlock
have never seen parcel Of young gentlemen in
such lamentabe condition before; let them wait
their proper time, and | have no doubt bat that
they will marry somebody, but am unable TO say
who.
Col. J. L. H.. Of Milledgeville, is quite a;beau
here. His standing, however, with the ladies' has
been seriously affected by a sander which has
been circulated here (and in all probability, having
its origin here, from some interested rival whom
he upI IN etprh haa faA frf trafa

OF dear little responsibilities at bone weeping
Nobes, for the loss OF the magnificent Colonel
The better part o. society here, however, anhci-
pate the. slanderer, and place no credence ia the
base and malicious calumny.

gentlemanly in his demeanor with an inexhausti-
