An Ingaiid's Experience.
PonrEn SPRINGS, Ga. Aug 18th, '7S

PORTER SPRINGS, Ga. Aug 4th, '73
MR.. EDIToE,-I have been wondering
if it would he entirely NAL apropos to
give to the public the opinions and eX-
pericnccs of an invalid, concerning this
rude country. ] WILL at any ratio give Il
few items which may proye encouraging
to some who, ] know, ilaYe anticipated
coming here, and fear by their delay
have been scared of.
We came the same route by which Mr..
II. II. w. came, and must say [ was
arreeably surprised in finding the roads
i'm good condition the principal part OF
the Journey. st Gainesville we met our
old t.ieHd Mr. d. Qualtlebaum, who gave
us a hearty reception, but advised us
not to try TO get to Porter springs. for
four or five miles the hills were very
rough, and very steep, but after crossing
the Chattahoochcc, the way is winding
and smooth, so that with a pillow (Which
no lady should travel without,) came
WITHOUT the excessive fatigue which !
anticipated. THE hacks, both from Gaines
Vile to Dahlonoga, and from Dahloncga
here, are rs good as I've ever seen for
mountain travel, and teams strong and
sure. Mr.. w. had secured for us cabin,
all Of which arc open; the doors OH
wooden hinges, windows sliding, and
altogether too airy until we learned to
avoid drafts. But they are delightfully."-
situated, a full view on one side of the
Blue Ridge, which is quite near, a slo
ping gorge on the other, and Cedar
Mountain right over us.
The climate is simply DELICIOUS. This,
Independent of the water, is enough TO
renew the strength, and almost the youth,
of the sick and infrln.
Mr.. Penn is wonderfully improved for
so short time, and seems to be enjoying
this mode of life very much.
Mrs. j. A. B. must be getting well, rs
she took little jaunt last Saturday III
an OK Wagon down the mountain. But
on leaving heard her charge young
man, who sat In rear Of her, not to let
her fall out, showing she was not free
from apprehensions. So I hope our Doc
tor will have more than one name to
drop from his list.
We have plenty OF fruit here, except
watermelons, the luxury of which l envy

The. .uuhappy Republic Of Spain.

Republicanism is the refuge Of nations
in these modern times. In Franco 1t
has been success thus far, but success
in whose permanence very few believe.
In Spain it Is a painful and disastrous
failure; and thinking man, rs he con-
templates the bloody strivings of Rcpub-
lican and Carlist of Communist and
alfonsist, will. naturally ask himself
these questions: Does divine right now
rest in the people? Is the voice Of the
people the voice of God?
Never was Spain i'll more unhappy
condition than now-nevcr more torn
by iaction-nevef moro a prey to the IN
trigues of selfish leaders. The Carlists
are bloodily triumphant in the North,
while Republicans, Communists and
Monarchists claw, rend and exhaust'the
rest OF the country. Better was the dis
solute Isabella, believing in the divine
right of kings, than this. Betterfar was
the chivalrous Amadeus, Of Italy, thar
this.
II republicanism is really better ane
purer thing than monarchism, ther
certainly neither the Spanish people nol
the Spanish leaders are educated up tt
the point Of enjoying it.
