COMPLETION OF THE RAILROAD THE
FIRST TRAIN.
The first through train from Kingston
reached this point on Saturday afternoon,
and its arrival was the cause of much re
joicing among the troops, some of whom
have been on short rations for several
days. As the locomotive echoed through
the encampment, the martial streets of
these tented cities rang with shouts o
exultation from the throats of thousands
of soldiers who delight to hear the sound
of locomotive bell, and its whistle, for it
brings proof that communication is stil
open with God s country, and while tha
is maintained they feel assured they wil
not starve.
AND
Hud looked at it a few momeuts, aud,
though he never dreamed he was to be
come a distinguished poet, his thoughts
began to come to him in a simple ryhuie,
and he wrote ihem down thus:
Mr. Finney had a turnip,
And it grew behind the barn;
Aud it grew, aud it grew, 4 '
5ut it never did any harm.
And It grew, and it grew, J
Till it could grow no taller; ' ' t
Then Mr. Finney pulled it.up.
And put it in the cellar.
And it lay, and it lay,
Till it thcro began to rot,
And 'his daughter Susy washed it,
And she put it iu the pot.
And it boiled, and it boiled,
As long as it was able;
$hen his daughter Lizzie took it up,
And put it ou the table.
Mr. Tinney and his wife,
They both sat down to sup;
And they eat, and they eat,
Till they eat the turnip up.
The boy brought iu his composition,
and when the master came to read it, and
saw the evidence of talent in the boy, it
is said he couid not refrain from tears.
Now then, boys and girls, don't get
frightened at the thought of a composi
tion; but find something that interests
you, and write down what you think a
boufc it, and that will be a composition.
You need not try to write in rhyme, un
less you have talent for it; for poor verses
are a great deal poorer tbanpoor prose.

West : A Lieutenant of the Tenth United
NORTHERN GEORGIA DEPOPULATED
BARREN.
The section of country through which
our army has marched is exceedingly
bare through "war s rude desolation. -
The wheat of corn fields, which but a few
days ago flourished under the eye of the
thrifty farmer, who watched the growth
of his choice fruit trees as they blossomed
in his valuable orchard over which he
had spent so much time, are all swept a
MM V .
way m a lew nours witn ruthless vio
lence. The tramp of legions of armed
men, and the gallopping of squadrons of
cavalry, followed by the dull heavy rum
bling of scowling artillery, and the rat
tling of ordnance- and supply trains, ex
tending over hill top and valley for miles,
further than the eye can reach, are the
caravans that have blotted out the fields
of promise and subsistence, the Rebels
having stripped the country of horses,
cattle, and whatever else might be of use
to our army.
The country is also thoroughly depop
ulated, nearly all the inhabitants fleeing
in terror at the news of our approach to
ward Atlanta, which city is crowded with
refugees, deluded into the belief that the
'Yanks" were a tribe of lawless savages
respecting neither age nor sex.
THE FAULTS OF REBELLION RUIN AND
STARVATION.
The passage of an invading army
through the enemy's country is very apt
to leave behind its track melancholy tra-
ces or oroau tinea acres, anu in tneir
stead wc behold a perfect labyrinth of ar
my roads diverging in all directions.
I he cool spring which ran its crystal
waters at the flSot of yonder hill is now a
muddy stream, around which hundreds
of exhausted, thirsty soldiers flock in ea
ger crowds to fill their empty canteens
with (to them; the retreshmg beverage.
The stench of slaughtered cattle, dead
horses, and mules, putrefying in the sun's
fierce rays, scent the garden from which,
but a few hours before, "gentle breezes,
fanning their odiferous wings, dispensed
native perfumes and whispered whence
they stole those balmy spoils."
The faithful house dog, coaxed, kicked
and cuffed from his master, is obtained to
some army wagon, and made a most un
willing prisoner. The little kittens that
sported playfully upon the rug before the
hearthstone now sit terrified upon some
soldier's knapsack, reviewing their dis
conteur. The pet family horse, trotted
out from his comfortable stable into the
midst of unruly, half-famished array hor
ses, now forced to seek companionship
with attenuated mules, subject to half ra
tions and hard work. The floclcof fright-1
eued sheep, driven with the cracking j
whip into the road, bleating piteously, asj
though half conscious oi the late that a
waited them.
The loud bellowing of cattle, as they
too are driven into the martial van, pre
paratory to their incarceration in the com
missary corral. The hideous squealing
of swine, running in all directions, pur
sued by hungry soldiers, hurling stones,
rails, or whatever missile comes bandy af
ter his roval porkshin. I believe there
outrages
with an absent tendency. These scenes
are of the serio.comic order, but when we
behold the sacking of a house, how sad a
picture is revealed. Let me tell your
readers what I saw on Sundav.
YANKEE CURIOSITY BIG SHATNY
SCENES.
At Big Shanty, on the Atlantic line of
railroad, stands quite a respectable-looking
two-storied woodeu hotel, which iu
peace times was used as the dinner sta
tion for the famished passengers travel
ing from Chattanooga, Teun., to Atlanta,

SHELLS
FROM NORTIIREN MUDSILLS IN
SOUTHERN HOTELS.
On Friday, while some of our cavalry
were out on a recounoisanc, shelling the
woods, one of our shells passed through
a part of the hotel, entering a large sleep
ing apartment containing some eight or
ten bedsteads, and passing through the
bedstead out of the south side of the room,
the shell burst in the yard. At this time
several Rebel officers were partaking lei
surely of a sumptuous dinner, and, with
out waiting for orders they changed their
base, retiring in the wildest confusion.
Several ladies were in the hotel at the
time this unruly "Yankee" messenger en
tered, and one ot them was in the room
through which the shell whizzed on its
deadly errand, but fortunately the fuse
was long enough to prevent its explosion
for several seconds, thereby saving the
terrified woman s life.
Upon the arrival of our advance at Big
Shanty, this hotel which was quite well

The owners haviug aban

arm of the service, with a sprinkling of
nesrro servants, the rough crowd all in-
tent upon getting "something good to
cat," while another portion were bent up
on mischief. In company with Harper s
Special Artist, I stepped inside to get a'
view of the premises and to watch the
proceedings. Such scenes as were there

that, accordiug to the United States Ceu

that is, the whole amount of specie val
ue of the property ; and if at any one time,,
the whole property of the country had
been forced to sale for the specie in the

ceuts on the dollar of its actual specie
value. . ,
Specie or the currency that may stand
for it, is only the convenient and recog
nized medium for making an exchange of
products. It represents property in tho"
market, property in transit, but never tho
fixed property of a nation. Money is the'
lubricator. It don't make values ; it sim
ply lubricates machinery, and keeps the
wheels of commerce running smoothly.
When too abundant, the wheels run too

FEAR OF SICKNESS AMONG OUR SOLDIERS.
I
Surgeons predict an unusual amount of
sickness among our troops if a heated
term follows this remarkable long spell of
cold aud rainy weather. Many of our
brave men have nothing to protect them
from the inclement weather but a rubber
and woolen blanket, which during such
storms as we have experienced since the
1st of June, afford little or no protection.
Can our nation ever repay tho debt of
gratitude due these gallant heroes who
manfully face death and court danger to
save our nation's liberties 1 How cheer
fully they submit to these privations.
Innumerable pains and hardships endur
ed, but not one complaint; no regrets,
but a firm determination to conquer or
die. If you would behold the quintes
sence of heroism, witness the conduct of
our privates on an arduous campaign, like
those now in progress in Virginia and
Georgia. Well may we say,
"They've mustered in their simple dress
For wrongs to seek a stern redress,

To perish or o'ercome the foe."
ing an old clock to strike. Look in to the
entry with mc, and see the scrambling of
fifty soldiers over a barrel or flour and a
barrel of sugar and molasses, while featlr-
crbeds are torn to pieces. One mischiev
ous fellow has found the dinner-bell, and
yells out "Fifteen minutes for dinner."
Another has diseovereu a string or cow
bells, aud at once strives to drown the m-
larmonious sounds ot his rivals.
With the drumming of the piano, the
striking clock, tho blowing of horns, the
rattling of the dishes, the ringing ot cow
and dinner-bells, the clatter' of a sewing
machine, and the wrangling of soldiers o-
ver the spoils, the ear was appalled and
deafened, furniture, bedding, cooking u
tensils, books, pictures, chsna-ware, la

On the evening of the 21st of March
ast, an outrageous assault was perpetra
ted upon the persons of two females resi

These- women word' charged with keeping"
a disreputable house, and a preconcerted

men and women of the town, to enter
their house by force, on the night abovo

carried out to the letter, and the mob was
characterized by tho grossest violence and
brutality.
The men and women who' participated
in this disgraceful outrage were' general
ly disguised, but most of them were re

suit was subsequently entered against
thirty or more of them, by Emma C.
