real estate $9,360,600. This list includes
on'y those trader, etc., that are sej arete and
distinct, aaid might be much extended.?
These figures ace ne doubt far behind these
of 1872. The streets of Atlanta are very irregularly
laid out, and by no means straight,
and from a map we have seen of them turn
and terminate frequently very abruptly. The
principal streets are Whitehall, Peaehtrae,
Alabama, Marietta, Broad, Pryor, Richland
and Decatur.
To view the etty and observe its active
tnd*c*i, aad the stirring people, and see the
anany fattened engines and hear their perpetiial
whistle, kssllss aete tba scores of new
buildings going up, one eea but be impressed
with the eonvietloa, that Atlanta Is in a few
years to be a still larger and more important
plaoe. Gaining its importance first as a railroad
centre, it appears to out-strip all others
In this respect, ss every year adds two or more
railroad termini to it.
The merchant* of Atlanta expect to realise
more benefit to their eity from the completion
of the Richmond and Atlanta AirXine Railroad,
tbaa from any other separate line ; and
are looking moat sagerly and anxiously to that
avast, knowing that it will open to them a
large scope of three State*, that ha* hereto*
fore been aa a sealed book, 10,000 increased
population and great trade, are confidently
hoped for.
On yeesterday, 21st in*?., the chief topic
of conversation and of interest, in Atlanta,
was the arrival in the eity of Alexander
H. Stephen*. He put np nt the H. I. Kim
bait Ho vise, where, during the day and that
fallowing, many persons celled to see himi
to pay him their respects, among whom
wore a number of the most distinguished
persons of Atlanta and of the State. To*
day, about IS o'clock, we, io eompenv with
other gentlemen, was introduced to 11*.
Stephens, io his room. No. 19, Kimball
House. Upon entering the apartment, we
found it full of visitors* The distingoiahed
gentleman retained his seat, extending his
fiiaud in a most eordial and kiod manner.
On beiug seated near him, he inquired what
part of South Carolina we were from, and
after saying Grtenvillt, we suggested that,
as it was the horns of tx Governor Perry,
probably he knew that gentleman, or had
had eorreepondsnae with him. To this Mr.

The New Passenger Depot, ia one of the
many large structures of the City. It D three
hundred and fifty feet long by one hundred
and twenty wide, and eost near one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. The material is
iron and brick, with granite foundations. It
is open at both ends for ingress and egress oi
trains, and one side ; the other side is occupied
by ticket offioes, baggage rooms, restaraunts,
etc. The highest point of the roof must be
orsr on* Dindnd foot, tb* whole building resting
on forty pillars, twenty on each side.?
Fir* railroad tracks raa through the depot.
Tb* building is immense, and oould not be de
scribed in a few words. To see it, is necessarj
for a proper appreciation of its proportions.
Next week, we will gire a somewhat detailed
description of the Kimball House
and other matter*. J. C. B.

We learn that the Welsh-Neck Associa
lion at its recent meeting nobly resolved t<
raise within its bounds forty thousnm
dollars toward the endowment of Furmai
University. This is a noble example
which, we trust, other seelioni of the Stat
will emulate. The Welsh-Neck Auocia
tion is composed of ehureheo, in the F.aa
tsrn part of the Slate, Darlington being
perhaps, near the eentral point. The;

and education. Before the war, th

much wealth among their mcmhsu, bu

promise.
Such aigna as this are cheering, and w<
think, with proper effort the noble institu
tioo established here, will be permanently
endowed, and stand a monument of the en
lightened liberality and public spirit of th<
limes, disbursing to the present and futur
generations the blessings of knowledge ini
virtuous education.
Our Town Counoil and the Fires.
Every body is inqniriug what are the Coun
oil doing to guard the place against incendia
aies ? We have reason to believe that th<
City authorities have already adopted i
scheme of detection promising success. Bu
we would assure the Couneil, that the citixem
of the place would be much better satisfied U
see doable the number of efficient and activ<
policemen appointed at once, to keep a stiarj
watch for stragglers. Then we might hear o
a scoundrel being shot in act of setting fire
as was the case lately at 8partanburg. Th<
policemen on duty, we believe, are aroused t<
great vigilanee, and are watching closely, bu
more are needed. Let them be appointed a
once, and well armed.
There is another matter of importanee. Th<
liquor stores ought to be closed by nine o'clocl
every night; it would prevent many a disturb
anoe, and thin out the street passengers at Iat<
hours, so that suspicious persons eould be de
tented. Besides this, all strangers of a suspl
0:ous character, loitering about the eommuni
ty without regular employment, or any employment,
should be looked after, and tha vagrant
law anforeed in the proper instances.

His brief life ended, his suffering all told.

With leved ones who weep, I weep for yon too;
But soon we shall meet on the golden shore,
Where death and the tomb can divide never

OBITUARY.
ROBERT HAYNE PERRY, third son of
ex-Governor Perry, departed this lifo at Aiken,
S. C., on the 18th instant, and in the eigthJeonth
year of his age.
The death of this gentle and puro boy has
been a sad boreavrmcnt to his parents, family,
utid friends. He possessed talents of great
promise, with most studious and industrious
habits. There were few boys of his age, whoso
knowledge and general attainments equaled
his. His standing at school, and in college
in all of his studies wus always high, and yet
he devoted a large portion of his time to general
literature. His reading of standard
works in history, biography, travels, poetry,
Ac., was wonderful for ono of bis age.
But whilst pursuing his studies in the Furmnn
University, and reading the English
classics, ho found time, with his younger
brother, to cultivate a crop every yenr after he
was fifteen years old. Ho delighted in agri?
cultural pursuits and studies.
II is pure, moral and manly character, devotion
to study and high intellectual endowments,
uiade him the pride and ambitious hop* of his
iwtov,. cui u- uwii snatched from all
earthly honors to a reward of glory in heaven.
Whilst a student in the sonior class of the
Furinan University, bis health became so feebio
that be had to give up ontiroly his college
studies. His family moved into the country
in older that he might be on a farm, and exercise
himself in the open air. His strength,
however, failed him so rapidly, that his fond
mother carried hiin to Aiken under the hope i
that he might there be benefitted by its genial
climate. Ho seemed to improve wonderfully,
and his letters up to tho day of his death,
were bouyant and hopeful. Tho evening before
his death, he requested his landlady to
have hiin a cup of coffee early in the morning,
na be intended an excursion with a friend to
Augusta. That night be was taken suddenly
ill, and in less than a half hour, bis spirit was
gone to a better and happier world.
It may well bo said of him :
" None know him but to love bim,
Nor named bim but to praiso."
lie was a favorite with all his teachers, as
well with all of his school-mates. But his
modest, retiring disposition shrunk from all
praise, and it seemed to give hiin pain instead of
pleasure. He would invariably say he did not
deserve it.
The devoted affection between bim and his
younger brother, two years bis junior, was
indeed beautiful. They were companions in
all their pursuits, nnd never was chore the
slightest interruption or disagreement between
them. But it is believed that he seldom, if |
ever, had any 'Inference with any of his associates
or companions.
In early childhood, his mother taught him '
to kneel and say his prayers every night before
going to bed, and this he continued
r?iujfii ><> up m me nigni 01 nts acain.
Ilia remain* were brought to Ureenville by
his eldest brother nnd brother-in-law, and accompanied
to the Episcopal Church by all of
the students of the Pnrman University, and
those of Captain Patrick's school, in which he
was, fot soino years, a student himself, and
placed by the side 01 his departed brother and
sister.
THK VNOPKKICn I.KTTKR.
Month after month the sickly youth wasted
and pined awny.
Far from the kindrod friends who in his heart's
affection lay ;
He left the cherished joys of home to seek a
milder sk y.
That waning health might be restored ; bat left
that home?to die.
The wintry tempest came and passed, the
spring-flowers shed the bloom,
And summer shone in gorgeousness around his
' future tomb;
The glimmering hope was in the breast of
those who loved him well,
That in their own endeared abode at home,
he yet might dwoll.
That glimmering hope was like the| light the
autumn ere brings on,
Serene and beautiful but brief, too quiokly fled
anil irnnn
'Twas in the earliest day in which the leaf be*
<*ine to wither.
The Joyous hope and life itself faded and fled
together.
Silent and feeble Say the youth, while ebbed
the living tide,
Strangors were all, aare one, who aat attentive
at hi* aide;
A letter came from thoee he loved, written
with hearta of joy .
A letter fall of tunderneae, aent to their darling
boy.
' Lay it aaide," he aaid, aa life Its sand* waa
apending faat,
Heaven'a holy hope ahone In bis aoul, earth
from bta memory paaied |
That letter, It waa laid aaide, affection'* anxious
tokenj
The sainted apirit rose to God, the seal remain*
ed nnbroken.

A Triumph- J
No medicine ever offered to the people baa .
won for itself each a reputation ip ao short a
time u DR. TUTT'8 EXPECTORANT.
Wherever it has been introduced, it has super- '
seded all other Cough remedies. It not only '
cares the Cough, but to thoroughly purifies 1
the Lungs, that no fears of its return need *
be apprehended. '
M km mis, February 11, lfcfifi. {
Dr. Win. 11. Tutt: Sir?I hare been suffer*
ing for nearly two years with a severe cough
and great difioulty of breathing. My weight
was oue hundred and forty.five pounds; and !
when I commenced taking sour Expectorant, ,
I was reduced to one hundred and sixteen. I .
bad tried almost everything; bad terrible .
night sweats. I have taken ball dosen bottles.
The night sweats have left me, tbe
coagb has almost disappeared, ana 1 bare
gained filtcen pounds in weight. I believe it
will cure my cough. I roccommend it all to ,
my friends. With respect,
OLIVER RICE. I,

The Warning has toon Heeded.
Since the exposure of tho attempts made by ,
certain unscrupulous local dealers, to palm off ;
their coarse astringents, made from cheap and j
impure materials, n the place of the great national
tonic, Hosteller's Stomach Bitters, public
opinion hac sot strongly against these em.
pirics and their preparations. Tboir occupation !
is gone, or soon will be. When tho light is ,
let into deoeption it soon wilts down. Persons
who trifle with their own hoelth, by using uns
known preparations, with no guarantee to sus- '
tain them, when an established specific, proven
by twenty years experience to be exactly what
it is clnitnod to be, is within their reaoh, are
suro to repent their temerity. Many have '
done so in this instance, but it is hoped that, I
the truth plainly spoken has arrested the evil.
I In the meantime tho demand for tbe leading j
protective and restorative medicine of Aiueri- , '
ca was never so great as it has been this season.
From the fever and ague districts of the
west, and south, it is literally overwhelming, j
and it may be said of the advices from all
patts of the country of tbo cures it is effecting
in dispepsia, bilious complaints, and chronic
constipation, that " their name is legion."?
Everywhere the sick and feeble seem to have
realised the importance of ''holding fast that i
which is good," and avoiding what is spurious
and dangerous. j
The numerous " Bitters," under various <
names, which mercenary dealers endeavor to
substitute for Hosteler's Stomach Bitters,
should be avoided, for their own sake*, by tho
sick and the public at large. Hosteler's
Stomach Bitters are procurable iu bottles only
[ and never sold in bulk.
I
Cnanges of Food ill the Intestines.
The final stage of digestion has (or it object
the converting into blond of so much of tbo
food as has not been already absorbed directly
from tbo stomnch. The scat of this process is
in the intestines. In the duodenum (the portion
of the intestines next to the stomach) the
food, dissolved in the gnstrio juice, is commingled
with the bilo and the pancreatic fluid,
which are poured in through two separate
ducts. The latter substance, the secretion of
the pencreits, is alkaline, and somewhat similar
to saliva. It neutralises (that is, dissolves) i
oils ; and nleo converts starchy compounds iuto
sugar. The bile, again, is the secretion of
the liver, formed not as other accretions, front
arterial, but. exceptionally, from, venom
blood. The dissolved food, alter passing from
the stomach, is absorbed by numerous minute
tubes, the lacteal*, and, through the thoracic
duct, is led froin the lacteals to the left subclavian
vein, and thus into the general circulation.
The food so becomes part of tbo blood
the fluid which renovates the worn-out tissues
of the system, worn-out in life'i ceaseless wear
and tear. But, besides being nn agent in the
| digestive process, the bile is also nature's
chosen and most efficient laxative and purga
| live. Now Dr. Fisch's Bitters promote, (at
the same time regulating.) the flow of this se|
cretion. The system is thus effectually secured
from biliousness on the one hand, and
from constipation on the other. Violent purging
is Dot the way to remove constipation.?
Neither is violent purging a purifi.-t of the
blood. An abundance of food, with an abundance
of bilo and the allied fluids, to digest it,
will make an abundance of good, nourishing,
strengthening blood, not needing purifying.
