i al LOOkOul mOHnIdln nOtcl aH't IHcii began our explorations and views.
 This is one of the most noted points, in history, made so by the great battle fought hereon between Gems. Grant and Rosecrantz of the Federal forces and Bragg of the Con- federate, in the war of secession. Gen. Rosccrantz and a party Of friends visited the historical place the day we were there. Looking from point lookout, Chattanooga sceemed spread at our feet, beau- tiful. though smoky manufacturing city: her factories, churches, rail- roads and large business houses, and palatial residences, stood out in bold relief. and the majestic and broad Tennessee, like a silver sheen, with it's waters encircling the city Tn it's arms, on its way to the sea, added new beauty and grandeur to the enchanting scene. Various points of interest were visited, among them Basin Rock" Devils Fire place. Sunset Rock" etc., etc. Wish we had space to describe the grand views and sights from these places. Directly on the summit we saw ''Pulpit Rock" an immense howldcr twenty feet high, from which President Davis made speech to the Cohfederates, while close by was Umbrella Rock" upon which sat Mrs. Davis. while he was speak ing. Took ride on the narrow guagc railroad along the steep side of the mountain, near the summit but our foreman admonishes Us to let up on Lookout, and 50 we must. Sorry tine party decided to go on without taking in Chattanooga city. We will say one thing for it-it is q large and growing city, destined to become second to none other in the South.
 1 ATLANrA-A busTLING CITY.
 Monday night our party left for Atlanta, the "Gate City, the New York of the South. Tuesday and Wednesday were spent pleasant y and proftably visiting the manufacturing establishments and points of interest here. Mounted the dome of Geor- gia's magnificent new capitol build ing, and at a height of 200 feet a fine view of the city and surrounding country was afforded. Grant park, the glass works, and other places were taken in. Atlanta is becoming a mighty city, now containing about 65, ,O0O and growing rapidly. Dear old Georgia, our native state, Is growing up in the wrong way-her cities be- coming populOus at the expense of the country but there is little wonder at this as the system of farming there is making her already poor lands poor CT, and in consequence the people flock to the towns. Commercial fer tilizers, guano, is running that and other Southern states. It looked like starvation to behold the poor, old red hills, in cultivation, on all sides. But again we digress. While the boys were doing" Atlanta, Allen, (our broth er) and we, visited our three married sisters at CarrolltOn, Ga, short way out from the city, and spent a night and half day very pleasantly, receiving hearty welcome on all sides. X clever friend wanted to banquet Us two Arkansas editors and the home team. As we'd been out near two weeks, regretted we could not stay to accept.
 BRt NSwICK AND ATLANTIC OCEAN.
 "On to Brunswick and the fishing grounds, " was the cry, so Wednes- day night all aboardn" was said by the clever railroad conductor, and Thursday noon found our jolly party at our journeys end and ready for anything new, But, oh, the horrid weather-tOo hot to breathe well or navigate. Some of the boys, from the mountains of Arkansas, could be seen seeking shade tree, with tongues lolling out and the perspira- tion pouring off them in solid streams. To St. Simon's Island at once and let the fishes go, was the unanimous conclusion; therefore, after dinner a steamboat was char tered, and the editors, their wives. daughters or sweethearts hied away
