From the Stone Mountain, we took passage TIA
Railroad, to Decatur, fourshing little town,
eight miles distant. We found good accommoda-
-tions at the hotel ofDr E N. Calhoun, "a relative
of our honored statesman.) The name, of itself,
is enough to recommend it to the patronage OF
every true Caroliuian who venerates (and who

entertained of 'rcDonald's election. Gentlemen

men enough who would dare to attempt the coer-

doubts in relation to McDonalds election be-

Great discussions are going on now in the State
between the opposing candidates. A gentleman
by the name of Jonathan Davis, who, as our
friend, Major C., says, is good 1eoo-ter,"
seems to be creating quite sensation among the
Toonbs, and will, likely, batter down some ofthose

highly spoken of There is too much vile sub

Georgia, to expect her cooperation in resisting
aggression until the issue is made so plainly that
they could not avoid it. They will sabmi. and
submit to any thing-the influences here are too
strong against us-the States who are alike inter-

has demonstrated this to our entire satisfaction

glad to see that Mr.. Rhett is hard at work, and
that old Lancaster, the District which gave birth
to Jackson, Blair and other distinguished men is
marching up right. We know where to find Lam

Y To resume my scribblings in Georgia-Dekalb
county has three towns or villages within its bor-
!ders, viz: :SroNE MOUNTAIN, to be sure, not very
: large, but some, in the way of rocks; ATLANTA,
the great Railroad meeting place, and thriving,
fourishing town, as have been told, DECATUR,
very pleasant place to stop at, and one may enjoy
a day or two quite comfortably. There is Court
House and the usual accompaniment, House Of
Corrections e. Jail, two Churches, Presbyterian
and Methodist, Chair factory, &C. We left De-
cat 1catur for Augusta on Saturday, Cf5 miles) and
passed the Sabbath in the latter place.
Georgia is far ahead of our State in improve
ments-Factories, of various kinds, are in great
abundance.
The Cuban expedition is talked of a great deal
in Georgia, and there was good deal of sympa-
thy for the patriots. Since my arrival in Aiken
have heard there is company in Augusta ready
to march to Savannah to join company TO 60 to
Cuba for the purpose of avenging the death of
Lopez, who, | see by the papers, has been taken
and garoted. Our men had better stay at home
and prepareto fight some other folks. We need
all the men for war purposes at home.
81 am again at Aiken, and Mr.. Wagner mine
host, continues his kind attentions, making one
feel perfectly at home This is delightful place,
and the Coker Springs are worth visiting When
