Description Of 4tlanta.

This town. before the war. was in
portant merely as a fo,HisLihz busi.
ness and railroad center. Ii EEs the.
county town Of Fulton County. Ca.
The inhabitants Of the surrounding
plantations came there for Justice ami
for trade. Large quantities ofcatton
and grain found here either a market
or shipment for the seaports- The
people we're active and industrious,
and met with merited growth in
wealth.
There are three railroads which ter
inmate at AtlaRta-the Georgia road
connecting Atlanta with Augusta:
the Macon and Western road 70 Ma.
con, and the Western and Atlantic
road to Chattanooga, Tenn. A few
miles south of Atlanta branches tho
Lagrange Railroad, connecting At
lants with West Point, on the Chatta-
hOochee River, at the Alabama line,
seyenty-two miles distant. BY means
OF these railroads Atlanta IN former
times was connected With aII parts Of
the United States, and until recently,
was the greatest railroad pointiu the
hands Of the enemy.
The city was laid out in 1845, and
has now become one Of the most pop
uleus in Georgia. In 1861 its popu-
lation consisted of about 1900 resi-
dent inhabitants, and since the war
has increased to almost double that
number, the surplus being made up Of
government officials and employees.
The city contains several hotels, n
court house and some fine blocks Of
buildings. Since the war it has be-
come an extensive government depot
and manufacturing center. Here are
located the principal shops Of the rail-
roads joining here; the most extea-
sive rolling mill in the South, foun-
dries and machine shops, pistol fac
tory, shops for the manufacture Of
miscellaneous government articles,
and two laboratories.

AneedOte Of Milton.

Milton, the great Toet, when boy
was placed at a high school in LONDON
On the occasion Of an examination, q
silver or gold medal was offered as q
prize for the best composition on tic
subject Of Christ's changing the water
into wine. Several Of the students wrote
upon it, mast Of them older than Milton,
aud surprising him in literary acqnisi-
tiOns. Articles Containing pages were pre-.
scnted TO the judges. But none Of them
dreamed that the roqr boy Milton would
stand any chance to obtain the prize.
When his turn came, he presented no
composition, but took a slate, wrote on
"The conscious water saw its God and
Blushed,"
and handel Il to the Judges. Struck with
Isronishment at this exhibition Of poetic-
cal genius. aud with admiration at its
comprshensigenessan an I beauty, they awsr-
ed him the prize without hesitation
Though but q single line, it embraced
nire than all the peges presented, aud
gave evidtAee ofthc genius that af;erward
z ,yst to the world the great epic poem Of
HParsdise Lost" THIS was The origin Of
that celebrated and oft-quoted line, and
shows the genus that may be lying d r
mant in bog, which a suitable occasion,
like the steel when applied to the Aint
will eanse To- show itseii.H .

Upon that independence they have staked
everything they have, or expeoS on earth.
They mean to fight for it, and they will

mond, as he reports, recently asked JEFF
Davis when this war wonld close Put
ting his hand on his little sons head, the
rebel replies: Not till this boy becomes
an old man. Edmund Kirka, who went
with Col. Jaques to Richmond, as he
writes to the Boston Transcript, was told
BY JEFF Davis a week ago yesterday:
'This war must go on till helust Of this
generation falls in his tracks, and his
children seize his musket and fight our

Hanging Gardens OfBabylOn.

The epithet changing" as applied to
the gardens IF Baby. is liable t, mis-.
lead the reader; they we're elevated not
suspended. They we're built at the time
when the city Of Babylon had reached the
summit of lis magni6eence under Ne
buchadnezzar. The ruins of these hang
ing galdens existed six hundred Years
after their complexion, ami greatly as
toaishcd Alexander at his entrance into
BahyIon.
The hanging gardens, according to Dio.
dorous contained a square of four hun
dred feet, on, every side, aud were carried
up aIoft in o the air, in the form Of sever
al large terraces. Till the hight equaled
that Of the walls ofthe city. The whOl5
pilew sustained by vast arches, raised
one above another and strengthened by a
wall, surrounding it on every side, of
twenty two feet thickness, s a'ua'.
On the top ofthe arches were FIRST laid
large fat stones, sixteen feet long and
four broad; over these was a Iayer of
reeds, mixed with a great quantity Of
OlJulueQy upon WHICH hOIc LWO IuWS VI
brickceselg eemsnted together with plas-
ter. The whole was eov. red with thick
sheets Of letd, upon which lay the mould
of the garden, which was so deep that
the greatest trees might take root in It;
aud with such the terraces were covered
as we'll as with all other plants aud
flowers that we're proper for a pleasure
garden.
In the upper part was sort Of hydraul-
lie engine bg which the water was drawn
.up-out of the river, and from this the
whole garden was watered. In the spaces
between the several arches, upon which
the whole structure rested, wero large
and magnificent apartments that were
very light, an had the advantages Of
beautiful prospect. Amytis, the wife Of
Nebuchadnezzar, was the daughter Of
Astyages, King of Medir, and felt an
attachments to the woody and PASTORAL
scenes Of her native country These gar.
dens and structure were erected by Neb-
uchadhezz II for her qualification, that
the ely of Babylon might afford her
some recompence for her privations-

"A Tree Hewn by Bullets.

''Aiost people, says the Richmond Enquirer,
''have doubted the literal accuracy of the dis
patch concerning the battle Of Spotts7ITania
which alleged that trees wero cur down under
the concentrated FIRE Of minnie balls.-We
doubted the literal fact ourselves and would
doubt il still but for the indisputabls testi-
monial Of DR.. Charles Macgill, an eyewitness
Of the battle. The tree stood in the rear OF
our hroast-works, at point upon which at
one time the most murderous musketry fre
that ever was heard Of was directed. The
tree fellinside our works, and injured sever
al Of our men. After the battle Dr. Macgill
measured the trunk, and found il - inches
through aud l9 inches in circumference, aetu-
ally hacked through by the awful avalanche
Of bullets packing against it. The foliage
Of the tree was trimmed away as effectualIy
as though an army Of locusts had swarmed
in its branches. A grasshopper could not
have lived through the peltingO that leadsu
storm, and but for the fact that our troops
were protected by breastworks, they would
have been swept 70 a MA;

Amusing Capture.


During the recent expedition Of
our soldiers in the vicinity of Snow
Hill, a capture Of ten rebel soldiers
was made BY Capt. Blackburn of the
1st Middle Tennessee cavalry. ard 4
squad of eight men, which is worthy
Of commemoratiOn. 1t appears that
the rebel captain had sent word to a
/ good Union lady to prepare breakfast
on a certain morning, for himself and
ten Of his party, who we're rowing
about the country, stealing whatdhev
could lay their hands on. Captain
Blackburn heard of the intendedvisit.
and postedhis men, behind some cedars
not far from the hOuse-Sh0rtly after,
"a solitary horseman, as g. P. R.
James would say, attended 10y a con-
rraband, camo riding along the road.
The guerrilla, for such he was, halted.
and was ordered to lay doEnhis gun and
surrender forthwith, the order being
accompanied by the presentation Of
several murderous looking earbines
leveled directly at his head. "Butter-
nut" scrambled DOWN and gave him
self up without delay. A few min
utes after, three more solitary horse
men," in guerrilla garb, we're seen
n the distance, and contraband was
ordered by Captain Blackburn to step
out into the lane and beckon to them
to come on. The trio trotted up and
found themselves ''gobbled up, when
retreat was impossible. Presently
three more guerrillas approached, the
darkey still waving them on. The
hungry fellows, supposing that a most
savory banquet awaited them, hasten
ed on, and dismounted ike their "il-
lustrious predecessors. After the
lapse of'a few moments, another guer-

Imicable gestures Of the treaeherous

Old Bachelors

In antiquity it was considered unpatri-
otic IN oitizen to remain a bachelor all
his days, BY the Spartan laws, those
citizens who rem ined bache urs after
middle age were excluded from all offices,
civil or military. At certain folsts they
were exposed to public derision, and led
round the marketplace Although, gen
orally speaking, age was deeply rospecte !,
yet this feeling was not manifested to old
bachelors "Why should mako way
for you, said Spartan youth toa gray
.helded Old bachelor "Who will never
have a son to do me the same honor
when I am old?" The Romans pur.
sued the same policy towards biohelors.
They had to pay extra and special taxes,
