We aVo iutbtiued thai a Hupubtlcau meetiug
has bccu called to be held in the Court House *
to-morrow, Saturday, to consider the propriety
of putting a Republican County ticket in t'O

within its ranTts arc, at present, permitted
to kiow. We, however, know sufficient to
state that the party is divided upon the eubjcci.
of making a nomination ; but if it should be
decided io put n ticket in the fluid, thoso v.ho
now think such a step unwise uud hopeless of
success, will ir.itc with the other wing nnd raily
to its support, in order to restore the parly or
ganizatiou aril give it strength and hope in the
Presidential Election in 18f>0.
I As we suida tew weeks ago, wo become more
satisfied dailylliat the Republican parly, iucvcty
County ia llieStalc, is being, if not already, organized
for a >ti ugglc to get possession of tho
Legislature, nri it will require the closest watching,
the most a most work and united action on
our part to ke^> them from "stealing a innrch
on us'' when %e least expect it. If we show
the least we.?kt*ss in any part of our liuo their
watchful eyo wH. discover it and takoadvantage
"f.von now*"*?-ItWP "flint recreant democrats
arc in the held and asking for Republican votes,
even if they lave to place their names upon a
Republican ticket. Fortunately, so far, we have
not heard of any "ffciu of any influence stuopirg
so iow,t!id Sucre is not much "danger !o be
apprehended fioiu them; but if srek men arc
not met at the tl.rcsuhold of their disgraceful
action by a united and stern rebuke from the
true democrats, wc can easily imagine bow some
inenjot'g: outer influence, but with no highersencc
oi honor ilwn to obtain orlicc at any sacriliec of
principle and decency, may bo encouraged to
liopc for success bv inciting disaffection in oar
own ranks, then carrying the disaffected faction
over to the Radicals and unite with that pasty
to defeat iha whole or a part of our ticket. M'c
speak thus,because wc have heard that such a

Bui few of the Overseers hove any knowledge
of the law as regards the persons liable to
road duty, and in cotiscquense of tho very
genera! ignorance concerning a tnnticr in vvhicit
every individual should fed a deep interest,
some of the Overseers have, in the exercise of
u discretion which has no justification, exemptod
persons front toad duty v.Lent the lew* do not
exempt ; and accepted substitute* in the places
of others who themselves are liable tj road duty.
On account cf those things a dc.il of aisaaliHfac'.ion
has Lcen manifested by persons who debite
to sco the laws carried out in good faith,
without respect to parties or persons.
In view of the above facts and statements, it
is hoped and expected liio Hoard will give,
through the columns ol* the 'fines, the law us it
uow stands ou il?o sialuto books, so that the
most ignorant darkey, as well as the intelligent
Overseer ahull have a thorough uudcvaiairdiug
of their power and duties in the premises.

to state disiiu-tly, whether the tuiiljr,
the ferryman, the physician and minister, or
foreigner, is exempt froiu road duty, or not,
so Iti ere can bo no misunderstanding in rela*

Ovcrseerer or thuso persons whose duly it, is
to "hew the wood and draw the water."

A rido of two hours over a rough and uninteresting
country lakes (ho tired (raveler to
Ulnrksviilo. In the good oid time, anle L*ii< m,
Clarksviilo was uuo of the most popular results
iu upper (ieorgia. With its excellent llote's,
pure water, bracing atmosphere, uud topttnfain
scenery, it combined many other advantages.?*
it was a salient point l'rotu which daily excursion
parties could with ease visit the "beautiful"
Toccoa, the "terrible" 'J'uluiuh and the sweet
Vale of Xiiuuoeuee?tho "Tempo of tlic South."
Jior was this nil; tunny gentlemen of wealth
aud culture had located their summer retreats
around.the village, which farmed n nucleus for
genial and intellectual intcreouise. Among thesto
inigiit ho numbered the estimable r.iul lion. lV.chard

State and General Government policies should
tako their shape here. After the "Coinnaeucciucut"
of i lie State University, irr Athens,
it was always a gain season in and around
Clarksvilto. Hounds of dinner parties, dancing
parties atid excursion parties, were the order of
Iho day, unlil Jack Frost warned the pleasure soekcr
and tho iu valid ibnt he might return to fl
liis malarial home. Bin ilium fruit may now bo
inscribed upon tiic walls of Clarksvillc. 'J'lio
fo.'tuucs of war have swept away tho wealth of
its people, while that gritu messenger who visits
with as equal certainty the mansion of tlio rich
as the hovel of the poor, lias removed from tho
scene most of those who were then the most
conspicuous actors.

a unvff of twelve miles through an uninteresting
region, brings you lo the Talis of "Toccoa."
The si ream, (which is a small one) cool
and clear as crystal, winds its way through a
series of gorges and mountain spurs, until it
makes its final leap over a perpendicular precipice
of ISO feet height. It is a beautiful picture.
'?ite water is cou\cited into spray before it
reaches the rocks below, uud the sunshine, as
it plays through tlio silvery mist, spaiklcs
with the lines of ihe rainbow. 'ihc hill-sides
are donning their gorgeous Autumnal tints,
rampant wild vines are ctimbiug over shrubbery
and cliif, many tinted llowers peep out through
I the green lattice, the litilo birds are Hying bilher
and thither in wild excitement and almost bursting
their tluoats lo add to the haruiony of tlio
pic'.uro. The whole scene is one of enchanting
beaaiy , and if Toceoa menus beautiful in tlio
Indian dialect, no one can doubt but tho "lied
Man" appreciated the spot.

A rile of sotno flftcen miles over a rough

the reader that in this region the distuueo
