Atlanta Correspondence.

ATLANTA, GA, May 30, 1872,
A few lines from the "Gate City" may
prove interesting to your readers. More
than once, doubtless you have been told
Of the surprising rnpidity with which
Atlanta has been rebuilt since its total
destruction during the late war between
the States. IL now extends far beyond
its former limits, and the buildings gen.
orally are of a more imposing and On
during character. Among the special
attractions, may be mentioned the Kim
ball House, one of the most splendi
building in the South, and the UniF
Passenger Depot, an immense iral
Structure with every appointment for
the comfort and convenience of passen-
gers,
Atlanta has sprung up so rapidly that
the "City Fathers" have not been able
to keep pace with the demands Of its
growth. The supply of water is limited
to wells and cisterns, and there is a
pressing necessity for q greater abun'
dance. Because of this scarcity the
streets are exceedingly dusty in sum
mer. And, because the streets are paved
to only limited extent, they are very
muddy in winter. These and other iu-
cident to new city will be gradually
removed, and many additional improve
ments will be made
The Press of Atlanta is ably conduct
ed. There are two daily papers-the Con-
stitution and the Sun. The last named
is under the able leadership of Hon. A,
H. Stephens, and takes bold ground
against the Cincinnati nominations. Mr..
Stephens places himself in an attitude
Of uncompromising hostility to the con-
servatlve movement, and declares in ad-
vance that he will not support it, though
the Baltimore Convention should en-
dorse the Greeley ticket
The Constitution is ably edited by
Col. 1. W. Avery, gallant cavalier Of
the late war OF secession. 1t is not com
mitted to any line of policy, but awaits
the decision of the Democratic Conyen-
tion.
There are also two religious papers
published here-the Christian AdrocaLe,
the organ of the Northern Methodist,
and the Christian hder, the organ Of
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Middle
Tennessee Baptists, The hder has a
large circulation in these States, and
wieldI, an immense influence for good.
1t is well conducted and ably edited, and
should be read by every Baptist in the
land. JUYIUs

Country Life, and Literature.

1t seems to be the generally accepted
opinion of city people that country folks
are entirely debaued from the pleasure
Of literature; that they seldom read, and
never write; never daring to think OF
lectures, &c, That they drudge and
delve, save odds and ends, wax fat and
grow rich, but know nething, Now, we
know that physical exercise strengthens
the whole constitution, including the
brain, which cannot discourse health
ful music unless it be in healthful con-
dition. The farmers brain is made to
do as much work as that Of any mer-
chant, or OF many "litsrary men, He
has to observe to calculate; to be a mer-
hant as well as a producer, to under
tand the requirements of his animals
iip health and disease, to be mechanic
Gfchitect, and engineer; in short, to
know little, and more than a little of
everything Yet, class for class, contras-
ted with his city neighbOrs, he is more
intelligent and thorough reader OF the
newspaper, more acute critic Of pas
sing events, and wiser and more hon.
est politician. He does not keep track
OF bubbles light as air" that attract
for while the general public, for his
busy occupation teaches HIM to econo-
mise his time, and discriminate in his
sading He supports clubs and socio-
ties for the diffusion Of knowledge and
experience in his calling, and his sons
and daughters are not strangers to socie-
ties conducted for literary improvement.
The dwellers Of the city in proportion
to population, class for class of intelh-
gence, have vastly fewer literary socie-
ties than the country people. Country
villages are not without their lectures
too, and other entertainments, though
we have no tbeaters, operas, ballets, and
the like, to minister to depraved tastes
and enliHeu enervated minds Moreo-
yer, the country folks are literary in the
literal sense. They write for the papers
very many OF them, and on general as
we'll as agricultural topics. They util-
izO their spare moments, and give the
results of ofexperience and careful thought,
directed by u healthful mind, and
clothed in language of Saxon ploinness.
The idea OF a mans being unliterary and
uncultivated because he is q farmer, is
as absurd as that Of womans being
either unliterary or unwomanly.

The First lnStallment from COunec,
ticut.

The trst mstailmeut Of the victory We
are to win in the Union IN consequence
OF the Cincinnati poycment. was rcceiy-
ell yesterday from Connecticut. The
Democratic members OF the Legislature
uniting with the Republicans in favor OF
Greeley and Brown, have reelected to
the United State Senate, over the candi.
date OF the Grant oilice-holding and
military rings, General Huwlry. Mr.
Ferry has distinguished himself by his
conservative course in the Senate, on
posing the Civil Rights Bill Of Mr.. Sum
ner fayoring general amnesty to the
South, and opposing the San Domingo
and other corrupt schemes of the Ad-
ministralion, and geAerally acting with
Messrs, Trumbull, Schurz, Upton and
other honorable and independent Ssna-
tors. For this the Grant satraps de-
manded his political head, They defea-
ted him IN caucus, and selected General
Hawley over him. But his concurrence
in the Cincinnati movement brought the
Democrats as one man to his support.
and IL coalition WAS formed with the
Liberal Republicans that has sent him
back to the Senate It is ominous for
Grant that Hawley who was beaten.
was President of the National Conyen-
ton that nominated Grant in 1865 The
policy that has been so successful in the
choice Of Senator Of the United States
will work equally as well for President,
if the Democracy Of the Union initiate
the wise example OF their brethren in
Connecticut. Other United States Sem
ators will follow in the same way, and
then we shall, in this manner by coop
erations with the Liberal Republicans,
get rid OF the most odious Senate that
ever disgmcod the country, ut the same
time we make finish Of Grant C.n-

Women with babies ought not to stand
ut the gate with them when young men
are passing on the sidewalk. An un-
feeling woman stood there with her ba-
by the other DAY when bashful young
Miggs was out walking. As Miggs was
about to pass, the internal young one
popped out its eyes, and staring straight
in the direction OF Miggs, fairly scream
ed, "Papa! papa" Poor Miggs nearly
dropped. His features indicated the
widest confusion Of mind. And then
that woman, with diabolical grin, and
before Miggs could pass swiftly from
view, screamed to the baby, "Tho' isn't
father. mn goose.'

best, if not the only. man to lead us to
victory now, is tho same quiet soldier

replies: "Forney has long been noted
for the frequency with which he saves
the Republic He is early and tremen-
dous in his beliefs He has now arriv-

lied them and threw them upon us !

A curious case of assault and battery
was lately brought before the police tri.
bunal at Marseilles. 1t appears that 4
diver, engaged in investigating the wreck
of vessel sunk in the port of that city,
discovered an object of some value, which
he put aside in u corner Of a rock for flu
ture disposition. Returning for the last
time beneath the surface, he went to sc-
cure his prize. but at that moment two
other divers attacked him and attempted
to wrest it from him. A lively fight en-
sued, which lasted until the people above,
becoming alarmed at the confusion below,
drew the combatsnts up to the surfare.
The afIruy thus commenced, fifty or sixty
feet below the surface of the sea, was en-
ded ut the Police Station.

THERE has been, for some fifty years,
considerable of a misunderstanding be-
tween the Democratic members of Con-
gress and the Democratic masses as to who
should be supported by the latter for
President of the United States. In 1924
the Congressional Caucus" was for VIM.
ii. Crawford, of Georgia, but somehow or
other, the Democratic people were for one
Andrew Jackson. Aite7ward, in 1874,
our Congressional Democrats conceived
that Martin Van Buren, was the man for
the crisis, but the people threw him over
board and nominated james X Polk, OF
Tennessee. In 1856 the Washington peo-
pie were all for Franklin Pierce for re-
election for President, but tho Democratic
masses we're for James Buchanon, of Penn
sylvania, and they nominated him at Gin.
cinnati. la 1860 one in mixing with the
Democratic Congressman would hardly
have known that Stephen a. Douglas was
candidate for President except by their
abuse of him, and yet he had Il majority
in the Charleston and Baltimore Conveu.
tlons. In 1868 the Washington gentry all
threw cold water upon the selection Of
George II. Pendleton, and yet he had
really in his favor majority of the
New York Convention. At present the
Congressional leaders do not take kindly
to the selection of Horace Greeley, but
the facts we have above stated somewhat
console us for the manifestation. Brought
up, as We are, in the jackson school, wc
are so old fashioned as to believe that the
people eau nominate candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-PreSident without any
Washington assistance, and we doubt
whether the atmosphere of the Capitol is
congeuial to those who desire the purest
and tle best selections - Enquirer.
