At the dawn of her his tory, Alabama contained four tribes of aborigines, the civilized and hospital Cher- okees, in the northeast, in a region, that they always called Chiaha ; the warlike and heroic Chickasaws, in the northwest, along the Tennessee, the Tombigbee and the Upper Yazoo; the friendly Choctaws, in the west and southwest ; and the Mus- cogees (or Creeks), called by Bancroft "the most powerful nation north of the Gulf of Mexico," west of the Ocmulgee. The first historical mention of Alabama deals with the marches of Hernando De Soto, the Spanish cavalier, with 620 knights and priests, crossbowmen and arquebusiers of Spain, who landed at Tampa Bay, crossed Georgia, and entered Alabama in July, 1540 (80 years before the Pil grims arrived at Plymouth). The aimy visited Coosa, Tallasee, and other Indian towns, in search of a land of gold ; and then marched by Piachee to Maubila (whence comes the name of Mobile). Here they were fiercely at tacked, and during a long day's battle in and around the burning town, the Spaniards defeated the natives, losing 168 men, and slaying 2,500. Thence the European army moved through the lonely land of Pafallaya, and up the Tombigbee Valley into Mississippi, fighting many a bloody battle, and enduring and causing frightful sufferings. One hundred and sixty-two years later, the Sieur de Bienville, "the Father of Alabama," transferred his French colony from Biloxi to Dog River, on Mobile Bay, and erected Fort St. Louis de la Mobile. In 1711, he moved to the present site of Mobile. A few years later, English traders from Georgia built a stockade at Ocfuskee ; and Gen. Oglethorpe made a treaty with the Muscogees, at Coweta. After the country to Great Britain, at the peace of 1763, the part of Montgomery was included in the district of West Florida. STATISTICS. Settled at . Settled in . . Founded by ....

The aborigines of Geor gia were the Cherokees, with 6,000 warrior occupying the highlands, north of 34° (the line of Elberton, Ath ens and Marietta) ; and the various tribes of the Mus- cogee or Creek Confedera tion, numbering 15,000 per sons in Georgia, south of 34°. In the year 1540 De Soto and his 600 Spaniards marched from the Ocklokonee to the Ocmulgee, and to Silver, Bluff, on the Savannah, 25 miles below Augusta, where they abode for some days. The army ascended thé Savannah Valley to Franklin County and Mt. Yonah, and traversed the Alleghanies, by Coosa- wattee and Chiaha (Rome), entering Alabama by the Coosa. Everywhere they sought gold, and 20 years later Tristan de Luna and 300 Spanish soldiers marched from Pensacola to Cherokee Georgia, and opened mines which were worked for over a century. The foundation of Georgia is due to the benevolence of Gen. James Edward Oglethorpe, a veteran of Prince Eugene of Savoy's staff, and afterwards a member of Parliament, who established here a place where insolvents, prisoners for debt, and other unfortunates might begin the world anew, and where religious freedom should be accorded (except to Catholics). Parliamentary grants of ^"180,000 were made to further these objects ; and Oglethorpe sailed from Eng land in the Anne, and reached Savannah (by way of Char leston), February i, 1733, with 116 immigrants in his com pany. The Creeks received these new neighbors hospitably, and they soon spread out over Darien, Augusta, St. Simon's Island and other localities. To this haven of peace came colonies of Hebrews, Moravians and Lutherans, and many Bavarians and Scottish Highlanders. In 1736 John and Charles Wesley came over with parties* of Methodists ; and two years later George Whitefield founded the Bethesda Home, near Savannah. Settled at ...... Savannah.

The Board has called in conference all the practic ing physicians of the city and has been assured by them that a small, modernly equipped and wisely admin istered Hospital would add greatly to the efficiency, the comfort and the economy with which the sick and in jured of the city and county could be treated. They agree that there is need for a local Hospital and that the patronage would justify its mainten ance and they have, unanimously, ex pressed an intention to co-operate heartily with the Board of Trustees in the management. Careful estimates have been made cf the amount of money which will be required to remodel the premises in charge of the board to the purposes of a small, modern Hospital. Assurances have been given that the furnishing of the wards will be provided by philanthropic individuals and organizations. Estimates have been made of the amount of money which will be re quired to maintain the Hospital for a period of twelve months after its opening. It is found that, to remodel and furn ish the Hospital building and to main tain the institution for twelve months will require approximately four thous and dollars ($4,000). If assured that this sum will be provided, the board of trustees will take steps immediately to inaugurate the Hospital. Appeal is therefore made to all philanthropic citizens for interest in the Hospital movement and subscrip tion to the Hospital fund. Donations and subscriptions may be made to either of the undersigned, preferably tc the treasurer of the board. Respectfully, H. C. WHITE, Près. BILLUPS PHINIZY, V-P. A. L. HULL, Treasurer. T. W.

And now, Mr. Editor, I was surprised when I read the article, to find that there lived a man so lost to all sense of honor as to endeavor, from behind the honored name of " Farmer," to slander a pure and good man ; but, when I ascertained that R. T. Nesbitt was the person who inspired that article, a man aspiring for the position now.occu pied by the person whose private character he seeks to traduce, I was certainly shocked beyond measure. Mr. K. T. Nesbitt wrote me on April the second, asking if Colonel Hendersoii required a contribution from each Inspector, to be used for such purposes as he might elect. In that letter he said that his purpose was to pursue nothing but the most honorable methods in this campaign. I wrote him saying that the Commissioner had neither demanded or received contributions from me, and after seeing my name with that of the other Inspectors, signed to a card denying that such accusation was true, in the most emphatic terms, still he persists in trying to spread abroad this most foul and unjust slander. I say, from such " honorable methods," good Lord deliver us ! Have the people of Georgia lowered their standard of manhood, that aspi rants for political preferment think such methods as these meet their approval? I will refuse to believe it until such men are rewarded* with office, and that will be a day to be deplored by every true son of Georgia. Below will be found the card of Dr. T. F. Jones and Mr. E. H. Dodd, who were both present at the time " A Farmer " alleges that I made the acknowledgment referred to. _____ A. F. WOOLLEY. We were present at Kingston, and not Cartersville, as stated by " A Farmer " in his card in THE CONSTITUTION of last Sunday, and A. F. Woolley did not acknowledge to T. J.

We hope that you will find it convenient to attend, and bring your friends, so that all may see and know of the material development and prosperity of this section of the country. It is intended to display specimens of the products of our Fields, Forests, Mines, Factories, Work Shops, Art Workers, Schools, etc., to which we invite you to contribute. In forwarding to you our premium list so early, we simply wish to give exhibitors ample time in which to prepare their exhibit, and to show the people the best of everything that can be raised, manufactured or invented. We shall make this Exposition a credit to Atlanta and the country at large, and bigger and better than any that have preceded it. The attendance, it is believed, will aggregate 400,000 souls,, with more than the necessary accommodations for them ; therefore a judicious display of your goods or your manufacture would yield a good return to you for the expenses incurred in reaching us. The Exposition will show how common are all oui' interestgj.j.nd hcxw^surel^ -harmony would foster trade and advance the condition of the people.

The machine will pulverize, of dry Clay or Shale, from 80 to 120 square yards per day. If Clay or Shale is very damp or wet, from 40 to 60 yards. It will pulverize this amount of Clay fine enough so ih^i it will pass through a ^creen 18 ^nesh No. 22 v/ire. ^ Believing that these are better results than we have ever seen :om any other clay-crushing machine, we therefore consider it the lost useful pulverizer that any Brick Maker can have.

It works equally well upon apples or brickbats aud requires a comparatively small amount of power. Our experience confirms every representation which we have so far seen made in your circulars and descriptive pamphlets. In the matter of repairs, we^ : can not speak with certainty, as our Mill has not been in use a sufficient, time to warrant us in doing so; we would judge, however, that repairs . upon this Mill from time to time, must necessarily be very inexpensive.

YALE LAW SCHOOL. Alumni Association Formed—Commence ment Anniversary. Among the many interesting occasions incident to the commencement of Yale university, .was the meeting of the law school alumni and the exercises that fol lowed at the law school commencement in the Center church on Tuesday after noon of last week. We have inserted elsewhere in our columns an article from the Palladium, giving an account of the growth and prosperity of this department of the university, and the facts there presented must be very gratifying, not only to the members of the legal frater nity but also to all the .friends of Yale university. On Tuesday noon of last week about three hundred graduates of the law school assembled in the Common Pleas court room and partook of a bountiful collation, after which Dean Waylaud explained that the object of the meeting was to form an alumni association of the law school. A constitution was presen ted and passed, and Hon. Edward J. Phelps was elected president of the association, and Judge Dwight Loomis of Rockville vice-president and George D. Watrous Esq., of-this city secretary. After the reading of letters from several distinguished alumni of the school, shore speeches were made by Hon. E. J. Phelps, Judge Nathaniel Shipman, Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore and others. At 3:30 o'clock the sixty-sixth anniver sary exercises of the law school were held in Center church, on which occasion the Townsend prize speakers delivered their orations, the first speaker being Orland Siauey Isbell of New Haven, his subject being "John Bright." John Bennetto ot this city was the second speaker, the subject of his oration being "The Veto Power. " He was followed by John Willard Keerans of Statesville, N. C. The subject of his oration was "The Annexation of Canada." Kojiro Matsugata of Tokio, Japan, delivered the doctor's oration'. Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore delivered the oration to the senior class ton "The Strength aud Weakness of Popular Government in the United Stutes. " It was a masterly productiou and was impressively delivered. The Townsend prize of $100 for the best oration was awarded to John Bennetto. This prize takes its name from Mr. James M. Townsend, who in 1874 donated to the corporation of Yale college that which gives'each year $100 to the best writer and speaker in the graduating class. Mr. Townsend is a nephew of the late Isaac H. Townsend, formerly an eminent professor in the institution aud is also father of Professor William K. Townseud of the Yale Law school and at present Corporation Counsel of the city of New Haven. The law school has an able faculty and a well equipped library and these have _ „ been most effective agencies in bringing the school to its present prosperity. I Yale's taw School. It is said that about forty members of the senior class of the academical depart ment of Yale are planning to stndy law next year, aud strong influences of one kind and another are at work to persuade some of these young men to go to Har vard for professional instruction. lu view of the very superior attractions offered at the Yale Law school, it may be well to recall some of the advantages of continuing study in New Haven. It is not idle boasting to assert that Yale's Law school is the foremost institution of its kind in A.merica. True it is that prior to its reorganization some years ago this institution was not all that it was possible to make it. Those who had made the school famous had passed away and no one had assumed the burden they had so long and so ably supported. In this emergency Dean Waylaud arid Professors W. C. Robinson, Johnson T. Ptatt eftSt S. E. Baldwin, at pecuniary sacrifice, occasioned by the ' forced refusal of much important practice, assumed control of the school. From the first the efforts of these gentle men were followed with success. Dean Wayland, whose genial and kindly spirit had won friends of influence in many states of the Union soon succeeded in collecting a fund sufficient to provide a library of superior excellence for the school, one of the contributors being the late ex-Governor English. New books, new ideas and instruction of the very best, such as were offered at the reorganized school attracted the attention of the student world, and since that time progress and excellence have been marching arm in arm in this department of Yale. What institution of- legal instruction in this country can boast of such monuments of professional wisdom as Professors Robinson, Baldwin, Townsend, Phelps and Stoddard? The fame of Juâge Robinson, the professor author, the powerful reasoner, is not measured by the shores of America. The clear, concise and masterly products of his brain are the guides and compan ions of leading members of the bar of more countries thau his own. Students who have been awed by his wonderful powers of elucidation and who have been inspired by his enthusiasm, now hold important positions of trust and profit in almost every community of size in the United States. The painstaking and patieut instruction of Professor Baldwin has moulded the minds of scores who are fast pushing to the front of the profession. He is the father of the new code of civil procedure and is recognized in the legal world as one of its highest lights. The brilliant career of Professor Townsend has often been commented upon. He is confessedly one of the most able lawyers in New England. As an interpreter o£ contract law he probably has no superior aud as an instructor in the department of law he has no equal. An able lawyer, too, is ex-Judge Heury Stoddard. Since his resignatiou from the bench tbis gen tleman has given up a portiou of his time each week to instruction in the laws of evidence. The work of G.D. Watrous, one of the brightest recent graduates of the school, as instructor in contract law, has been eminently successful. In addition to the regular instructors a corps of special lectures composed of most learned and brilliant scholars and practitoners, annually give the students of tbe schools the benefit of their experi ence and wisdom. During the present year Professor Phelps, the distinguished ex-minister, has delivered a course of lectures on international law and kindred subjects that have attracted very wide attention. This gentleman, by the sweetness and force of his character, and by the completeness of his instruction, is proving a veritable maguet to retain Yale men for graduate instruction in law. Mr. G. M. Sharpe of Baltimore has just completed a most comprehensive course of lectures on the laws of life insurance that has beeu pronounced by leaders of the bar to be the very best elucidation of the subject ever attempted. Mr. Sharpe is one of the best informed lawyers in this department and came to Yale with the sole and unselfish motive of assisting in perfecting the course of instruction. Congressman W. E. Simonds, au authority in patent law, has just delivered his annual course of lectures the past year and Judge Nathaniel Shipman of the United States court found time to give the students of the school much valuable information. Among the other lecturers were Mr. Dwight Collyer ou "Attach ments, Judgments and Executions;" Mr. Thomas Thacher on "Corporate Trusts;" Mr. James M. Townsend, Jr., on "Trans fer of Monetary Securities;" Mr. Roger Foster ou " Federal Jurisprudence, ' ' all of whom are practicing lawyers in New York city aud stand high in their profession. Professor Mark Bailey has aided students in voice culture, and a half score of other instructors and lec turers have assisted in rounding out a perfect course. The Yale law school is certainly i?trong at every point. The library is excellent, there is abundant opportunity afforded students to participate in kindred courses of study in other departments of the uni versity, and the proximity of busy court rooms is of much practical value.—New Haven Palladium.

LUMPKIN COUNTY, GA., CRUM- LT3Y DISTRICT, Dec. 7 1891.—-To Hon. F. M. Williams, Ordinary of Lnmpkin County. DEAR SIR: Wo, the undersign ed citizens of Crumley district, de sire, in view of the fact that our election will be held in this district ^next Saturday, on the Stock Law question, to know from you wheth er in the event that a majority of the votes cast at the election are for the stock Law, it will be your • «luty to t ix the citizens of the dis trict and build a fence* around the district. Some of the undersigned \vill vote for it and some against it; but we don't wish to deceive any one, and as some say you would have to tax the people and build a fence around the district and oth ers say you would not, \ve desire to know the truth from you as to what the law is, without, asking you to take sides one way or. the other, as you do not live in tho district. It is your duty to "admin ister this Law, and we presume you know what the Law is, and we Ask you as a disinterested officer knowing the Law to tell us what it is; and also, to tell us who are en titled to vote at the election next Saturday. Respectfully, W. II. SMITH, J. C. BKYOX, ; It. P. McDoxAi.n,. JNO. HKXRY GRIZZLE, ISAAC As DAHLOÏ-EGA, Ga., Dec, 9tli 1891. MESSRS. SMITH & OTHERS.— Gentlemen: Your letter of the 7th, asking for the law as to tax ing the people of Crumley's district to build aud keep up a fence 'around the district, iu the event the stock law should be .adopted at the election next Saturday, has beeu received; and I feel it my dn- ty to answer you to the best of my ability and understanding of the law. The Code of 1882 expressly says the Ordinary shall enter into said district and fence the same,-and shall levy a tax for that purpose on the citizens of the district. Until recently this has been the law, as I understood it. But since it has become my duty to take a part in ordering an election on the stock .law, I have felt it my duty to in vestigate the-law, so that I might administer it'faithfully. On inves tigating itj I find there is no snch law to tb.it effect now^ although the Code of 1882, section 1455 did eay so. But the Supreme Court decided it unconstitutional and void iu volume 75 of the Supreme Court Decisions, page 815. After that decision by the Supreme Court the Legislature of 1890 passed n law repealing that section (1455) which did authorize the Or dinary to levy the tax for fencing a district that had adopted the stock law. Therefore, I say to you, there is no law to tax the people • to build such a fence. YJII also ask me who can vote at the election. These are they: All who can vote for members of the General-Assein - bly, provided, they have lived in C-.-umley's district for ninety days last preceding the election. Therefore, no mau cau vote at S itnrdiiy's election unless he has been a resident for niuety days. This is from the 12„h - day of Sep tember last up to/Saturday of the eli-ctioii, and has resided in the county six months and iu the state twelve months, and has paid all taxes required of him, except for the pfeseut year (1891). Now, I believe T have answered all of yonr questions, and I hops this will not offend any man, or cause any man to feel for one mo ment that I am taking sides in the election. I do hope you will have a peaceful and fair election and that good may result. The ticket must be for FENCE OB STOCK LAW. No other ticket wil be allowed to be counted. This, the Supreme Court has decided. The books referred to can be seen in my office. Respectfully, • If. M. WILLIAMS, Ordinary. & <<7 tZs6Wvti /9t & o/ V j St< fr ^<^, «» 1 * f— " ^ \\ ^* ' H, .''*. ff£ï* —— 1 «^ », * r' •fee -" SECOND FLOOR—MAIN BUILDING. •r/7 Sberman's flßarcb. " Halt ! " breathed a muffled voice. "Ensheath thy sword, lay down thine arms:— ]STo more the battle's bugles or alarms Shall rouse thy lion heart. Kejoice ! " Yet, spite Death's mandate low, Despite a nation's woe, Sherman marched on— Marched on triumphantly, As when he led his armies to the sea— Marched on! O Death! thou could'st not stay A hero, dauntless set upon his way To a new planet, toward eternal peace; Thou could'st not touch him, save with pain's surcease ; For while thou spakest, even, Sherman marched on—to Heaven. Where, then, thy sting, O Death? since he Has heard God's roll call; where thy victory, O grave? since he has made reply, Can Sherman die? ISTay; glory-girded, one more battle won, He has marched on. Choke back your sobs, O men! He has outstripped the sun—what then? The spring that cometh soon, will let Her gently falling tear drops wet His new made grave. Nature will weep, but men—men do not weep the brave. Lay his sheathed sword upon his breast After life's burning warfare; peace is best. Let dust to dust return, nothing can shroud The soul of Sherman. Be not overbowed With grief, rather let joy exalt; For even Death's grim "Halt!"
