The Inhabitants of the Mountain Regions of Georgia • and the Carnlinas, Their Manners and Customs, Their Origin and their Destiny—-Incidents of Cracker Life—A Market Day in a Geor gia Town. Special Correspondence of Tur. Tixcs. DAHLONEGA, GA , February 23. For the past two weeks I have been living among the crackers. •Thev arc a distinct and, withal, pe •culiar class of the poor whites. They are huddled together iu the mountains ar.d ridges cf Georgia and the Carolinas. Avery 'intelli gent gentleman, an ex-M. C., told ree the other day when and how the i.ame of cracker originated. When the poor whites settled in this re gion it was inhabited ly the Creek and Cherokee Indians. The coun ry was very wild and the land very loor. As a general thing the sett lers brought with them to their new homes provisions enough to List un til they made their first "crap." Corn was their principal production. After it was harvested it was neces sary to reduce it to meal before it could bo utilized for culinary p ;r -poses. There were no mills in the immediate vicinity of their homes ; the roads running out of tne moun tains were merely bridal-paths or Indian trails, and the settlers were too poor to erect their own mills. In this emergency they adopted a custom in. vegue among their In dian neighbors, and procuring two stones—one large and the other small—manufactured them into a rude pestle and mortar, and with this primitive implement ground their corn into coaise meal. This mountain mill was called a "crack er," acd the custom of crushing or grinding corn by this process becom ing universal, lh9 word was adopted by general acclamation a distinc tive appellation for the people who crginated the practice. Although the custom of "cracking corn" has long since become ohselete, and the derivation of the nama cra:ker for gotten, it still sticks to them. THE FIRST SETTLERS. Manv of the first settlers were at tracted hither by the discovery of gold, and the hills and mountains were tunneled and the creeks and small streams turned from their course in an eager search for the no ble metal. It was found in paying quantities, and a branch mint was established at Dahlonega. The mint was abandoned when the war b gan, and the building is n\v used as a college. Between Dahlonega aud Gainesville—which latter place acts as a feeder for the mountain towns and is a market for the moun tain people—lies Knocklesvilie. In ante helium days Knocklesvilie was the chief resort of the miners. They were a bad lot, and the settlement was always excited over either a shooting affray or a cutting scrape. Kaocklesvills is located on a hill, and its single street is strewn with rocks of all sizes. One of the le gends of the place runs to the effect that there i 3 not a rock in the town which a man could lift that has not broken a head. Cribbage creek, a small stream which winds around the hill on which Knocklesvilie stands, was noted for the richness and quality of its gold yield. Hun dreds of miners were scattered along i*s banks, busily engaged with ] ick, shovel and pan. They made money—and spend it. At 3 o'clock every afternoon they would quit work, don their best shirts, scrape the red mud from their high-top bcots, and, with the proceeds of their day's labor in their pockets, 1 asten to Knocklesvilie to drink Whiskey, gamble and fight until midnight. Manv strange characters found Iheir way into the mountains of Georgia, lured there by the prospect of speedy riches, or driven there by the criminal authorities of other States. Perhaps the strangest of itiese wanderers was Harrison Riley, liunikaily fcnown in this section as "General" ltiley. When the gold * xcitement wi sat fever heat Riley made his appearance in JDahlouega, ijid staking off his "claim," began mining. He was lucky, traded with the indians (invariably cheating the i iaaple aboriginees), and in a few years accumulated a fortune. It is row genei ally believed that Riley VR3 a man of education, <leeccndcd from one of the chivalric families of the J'almetto State, and forced to leave home and kindred for the commission of some terrible crime, lie always claimed, however, to be a man of "no cddication," and was never known to write his name or read a line. Yet he was well In formed on all subjects, and taking a prominent part in politics, was re turned to the Legislature from Lumpkin for years, lie was famous as a "stump 1 ' orator and was the idol of the "wool-hat" De mocracy. lie was also a major geu eial in the State militia, but owing to the sparsely-settled nat ure of the country his division was composed entirely of commissioned officers. Ilis career as* legislator was mark ed by rare statesmanship, display ing wisdom, sound reasoning and keen foresight. In private life he practiced tl o grossest immorality, having six or seven "acknowledged" wives and seventy live "recognized" children. W hen he died he divided his property equitably anong these illegitimate offspring. FAMILY FEUDS. The W s and the Fa are the two principal families in North east Georgia, and it is a popular supposition that a man born here is nearly or remotely connected with one of these two families. As is usually the case, the W s are jealous of the F s, and the F s make war on the W s. If a W and a F get into a quar xel, others are embroiled, and a per sonal dispute oftentimes assumes mammoth proportions before it is definitely-settled. They tell a very good story at Dahlonega of this pe culiarity. Circuit Court'was in session and aT was ou the bench. The court and county officers were about equally divided among the two families. The court-house in Dahlonega is arranged with the co irt-room in the second story, the first floor being used as offices for the county officials. A wide hall way runs through the building and two flights of stairs connect the first floor with the court-room. Court was in session, and the room w\is packed. A noise and hubbub in the hall below arrested the atten tion of judge, jury, attorneys and spectators. Curses and leud words were plainly heard. It was evident that a ght fiwas going on. "Mr. Sheriff," commanded the iudge, "take thosedisortJeF.y parties into custoday and bring them up here. I will teach them to have pioper respect fer this honorable court." Thus directed the sheriff left the room, but did not return. The tu mult waxed louder and the quarrel was evidently increasing instead of decreasing. Occasionally a pistol shot was beaid. Several of the spectators and one or two of the attorneys left the room. The Judge looked around ard espying a deputy sheriff directed him to hasten to the assistance of his chief. 110 went, but did not return. The coroner w*3 sent ; he, too, remain ed below. The uproar grew louder and the report of pistols more fre quent. A constable, two bail.lis, another deputy sheriff and the cleik of the court were in turn command ed to preserve the peace and uphold the dignity cf the court. Not one of these officials returned, and the room was nearly cleared of attorneys and spectators, while the "twelve good men and true" twisted uneasi ly on their bench on the jury-box. The face of the honorable court be came crimson with shame and an ger ; and as the solicitor general laid down his books ar.d prepared to leave the rcom he dismissed the jury and coming down off the bench was heard to remark that "he'd see if this court was to be treated with contempt I" Flushed with a con sciousness of the great indignity be ing offered his worshipful person by the rioters below, his honor hasten ed down stairs. A crowd was surg ing up and-down Hie hail, mad with passicn. Pistols were brandished, bowie knives flashed and the air was heavy with smoke and curses. Pausing for a moment on the stairway, the better to survey the field of battle, the honorable judge suddenly threw off bis ofiicial robe, pulled a inmderous seven shooter from bis belt, and with the cry of "Give 'em h—l boys 1" jumped into the crowd and lost his official identity in the general crush. The F s and the W s were at war, and not until the latter party was at last vanquished did the judge return to his l>ench. WHAT A RAILROAD HAS DONE. This feud increases in bitterness with each generation. A short time ago two j'oung men were in love with the same young lady. One claimed connections wit!) the F s, the other with the W s. This fact and the young lady roused all the latent animosity of their nature. They met on the high road. Both were mounted and as soon as they were close enough to recognize each other, drew their pistols, put spurs to their horses and galloped forward firing as they rode. Each had two pistols, and they were emptied with out fatal effect. Not satisfied, they dismounted and coutiuued the war- fare with bowie-knives. The next morning their bodies were found locked hi the embrace of death, and mutilated 1 horribly. The building of the Altanta and Richmond Air-Line Railway, has done much to improve and civilize the people. 'GaineSviNe is now a thriving city. I recollect it before the war as a dull, sleepy town, of five or six hundred inhabitants. It is, comparatively speaking, an old town, Its settlement dating back to the time when the original posses sors of the country—the Creek and Cherokee Indians—were the near neighbors Of the cracker pioneers. The peculiar geographical location of Gainesville, and its nearness to the goli country, soon made it a • village Of considerable importance ; but after progressing to a certain point, from some cause or other it ceased to grow,*and for upwards of fifty years remained almost at a stand still. Architecturally speak ing the town was a failure. In lay ing out a Georgia shire-towu the first business is to stake off a piece of ground for the public square. In the centre of this plot, which rarely exceeded two acre 3 in extent, the court-house was built, and this was the grand centre around which re volved the town's civilization. The business houses -frail, rickety af fairs of wood—were built around the square. From four to ight roads radiatMi from this central point, and along these were scatter ed the dwellings of the Inhabitants, as a general thing hut a slight im provement on the business houses. Saturday was market day in Gaines ville, and on Saturday the public square presented quite a lively ap pearance. MARKET DAY AT GAINESVILLE. Sale day and court week brought out the rural crackers in fu'l force, aud Vorse-trading, dog "and cock fight iug, gambling, fighting and drinking were extensively and mis cellaneously indulged in. The square and the roads leading there from were crowded with all manner and make of vehicles from the coun try loaded with shucks, chickens, butter, eggs, dried fruit, whiskey, wheat, corn and ginseng. The side walks were alive with the owners of these vehicles, hard-featured, sun browned men, in home-spun hunt ing-shirts and deerskin leggings ; women equally hard-featured and sun-bro;vned, with here and there the fresh, rosy face of a girl, in calico and linsey-woolsey. .'An in crediulo amount of whisky was drank and pounds of tobacco chew ed by the men, and the women, not to be behind their lords, dissipated in a mi!J :r w. y on candy, varied by a continuous dipping of snuff. By sundown tha town was deserted, and Monday'morning business was resumed on a less extravagant scale. The groceries —of which there were five—it is true, sold lvss whisky and tobacco, but their pales still footed up a respectable sum (these luxuries were as indi3p?n3i ble to the every day life of these people as bread and meat). The re mainder of the merehant3—those not hunting or fishing—opened up their stores and set oift in front a row of boxes which weio speedily occupied, each by a young cracker. When ev. ry seat was taken, jack knives were produced, and the morn ing was spent in whittling, talking politics aud tobacco chewing, with regular and frequent adjou.nmenta for drinks. In the afemoon they became more aesthetic, and a3 the sun wheeled around past meridian, the shady sides of the square wero alive with little parties solving the deep mysteries of poker and old sledge, or innocently chucking mar bles. There were still frequent ad journments, when all hands repair ed to the groceries. The advent of the railroad has made the town more metropolitan, but the "cracker" may still be seen on public days. Altogether a visit to this section of country will amply repay the lover of quaint humanity, and it will bo years before the "cracker" disap pears or loses his distinct identity in an admixture with the lntlowing representatives of a more .polished civilization. G. W. S. Not Ills shli t. Mrs. Jones was one evening busy embroidering some iuuslin ; Mr. Jones sat looking at tbe rich dis play she was making and at last said : "Why don't you fix my un derdosing up fancy too V" "Ob," replied Mrs. Jones, "men don't care about such tilings." "Of course they do," answered her husband, "but the women are too careless and lazy to take the trouble to nut on the fancy work." Nothing more was said, but Mrs. Jones looked as though something had come into her mind that won derfully pleased her. A few nights afterwards, as they were retiring. Mr. Jones appeared to be anxiously hunting something he couldn't fi nd, and at last, very petulantly asked, "where is my night-dress ?" "Under your pillow, my dear," gently replied my wife. "No it isn't." said Jones, "you have mado a mistake and put some of your flummery here." "Oh no, that is not mine," said Mrs. Jonos, as she took up the gar ment and hold it up before her hus band, "it is your night-shirt fixed up as you said you would like it." And furth cr examination showed the astonished Jones, that'his shirt was ornamented With a frill around the bottom, and a luffle around the top, while a pretty piece of embroid ery ran down the front. To make the joke more decided, his wife had put all his oilier night-shirts in the wash, so that for once he wis com pelled to sleep in this fane r gar ment, and as lie expressed it when he got up in the morning, he was not sure whether lie wrs himself or some woman. At his request his wife took off the fancy flxiugs, as Jones called them, and no never af terward complained that she was careless of his underclothing. We don't want "c. Moore town ship girl for a lung-tester. At a singing school up there the other night a young man was bragging about the strength of his lungs and invited in the company to hit him in tho breast. She said she was left-handed, had been washing thac day, was tired, and didn't feel veiy active, but at his urgent re quest she let go at him. When bis friends went to pick him up he said he thought he would die easier ly ing down. lie had lost all recollec tion of having any lungs, but the young wo man consoled him by ad mitting that she didn't hit him as hard as she might have done, be cause she rather liked him.—Easton (Pa.)

'TMAP very well that rubbing down and polishing oil, provided it is done in moderation ; "but let me tell you," says an old sage, "there is such a thing as rubbing too hard," I have seen an Amer ican Indian rubbing two pieces of rough wood together, after a little time they became a great deal smoother, and had a pleasant, warm feeling ; but when he rubbed away some time longer they took fire, bhued up and crackled, and sput tered in all directions. Now, 'tis just the sa me thin* in married life. Rub quietly, and only a little at a time, and all will go on smoothly, but if you stick to it, hard and fast from morning till night, take my word for it, you will kindle up a blaze at 'ast that you may not find it easy to put out.
