*• Marietta, Georgia.* 
 
 F Preeminently one of the prettiest little cities in all 
 ^ the Southland is Marietta, Georgia. Built in the midst 
 of a superb growth of oak trees, only a couple of miles 
 south of the far-famed Kennesaw Mountains, and having 
 within itself all the element^ of bea,uty and taste, it well deserves 
 the title of " The Little Gem City of Georgia." 
 
 At the Western & Atlantic Railroad Depot its elevation above the 
 sea is 1,132 feet, and upon the summits of several of the beautiful 
 hills within its limits there is an altitude attained of possibly a couple 
 of scores or more of feet above' this; hence, it can readily be noted 
 that the atmosphere is very fine and the scenery charming. 
 
 To the inhabitants of the region south, desirous of escaping the 
 extreme heat and the malarial influences which are so deleterious to 
 health during the summer months, there is no better resort than 
 Marietta; while those who would seek refuge from the chil.tng 
 blasts and snows of the North and Welt find this a delightful " Half- 
 way place" between the rigors of the winter climate of their homesj 
 and the enervating warmth of Florida, during the early winter and! 
 early spring. In fact. Marietta has for some years past been thei 
 winter residence of a number of northwestern people. 
 
 One of her choicest advantages, and one, by the way, which is not 
 possessed by any other summer or winter resort in probably all the 
 South, is the fact that tourists or wayfarers stopping here not onlyj 
 secure the advantages of a splendid atmosphere, pure water, lovely 
 scenery, and associations with a resident population noted for cultuic 
 and refinement, but they are also within one hour's ride of t»he 
 metropolis of the Southeast, and with about a half a dozen trains '^'^er 
 day each way, running at seasonable hours, one can go and returr at 
 slight cost, whether the object be "to go shopping," to pay social 
 calls on friends in Atlanta, to spend a few hours enjoying anew the 
 bustling activity of business life, or in the evenings to attend any 
 theatrical or other entertainment which may be on hand. All these 
 advantages can be enjoyed by those who would wish to spend evijry 
 night in Marietta. 
 
 Marietta was settled in December, 1833. The pioneer dwellings 
 were in the neighborhood of the present Episcopal Church, and at 
 that time the Cherokee Indians still held sway in this region, from 
 which, however, they were removed by the general government 
 some four or five years lalter. 
 
 The building of the Western & Atlantic, or, as it was popularly 
 known, " The State Road," some dozen years later, found her quite 
 a thriving little town, andj:his term she has deserved ever since. 
 
 In the language of one of our most cultured Georgia writers, 
 
 "This charming little city has long been the health and pleasijirC' 
 resort of tlie afHiient denizens of the seacoast in the heat of summer. 
 Before the war, when the old noblesse of that aristocratic regioiii 
 
:oimted their broad acres by the thousands and their slaves by the 
 hundreds, it was the fashion to spend at least a fewweeks in Marietta 
 either gfoinjj or returninfj from the Virginia Springs or Saratoga. 
 
 "In those days money was dispensed like water, and the big brick 
 hotel, which had been erected to meet the ever increasing influx of 
 visitors, was crammed from cellar to attic. 
 
 "Stylish equipages swept along the streets, the churches were 
 crowiled with the t'lite of the State, and mirth and gayety held high 
 carnival for weeks and months every season." 
 
 The end of the great Civil War, however, in 1865, found Mariictta 
 wrecked by its ravages, the business portion of the city having been 
 burned, and the beautiful homes in many cases sadly disfigured; but 
 within the twenty years which have followed, it has gradually come 
 out of this, and its plucky little population has turned one point and 
 another to advantage, until they have made their city what it to-day 
 is, "A Thing of Beauty." 
 
 One would think that, being almost under the shadow of the busi- 
 ness houses of Atlanta, it would amount to but little, except a place 
 for pleasant residence; whereas, the reverse is exactly true. 
 
 M.VRIETTA controls a trade which is more than local, and has 
 asserted herself, commercially, to an unusual extent. Her merchants 
 ^jess the advantage of being in the midst of a good farming 
 ooi ntry, and of being burdened with less taxation, less rents, etc., 
 IbjU'i their neighbors in the metropolis so near them; furthermore, 
 ng the southern terminus of the Marietta & North Georgia Rail- 
 rc) id, they naturally secure a very large proportion of the business of 
 tl' ; territory traversed by that line, in spite of the efforts of their 
 I )re powerful rival. 
 
 Referring just here to the Marietta & North Georgia Railroad, it 
 I'i^ iroper to state that the enterprise of building it was for the first 
 \ \ ir or two in charge of General William Phillips, as President. 
 J I ? completed the railroad to Canton in spite of stringencies in 
 nj )ney matters, and in spite of many difficulties which would have 
 Jaunted a less enthusiastic man, and to his energy in getting it thus 
 started the present clever management is certainly indebted to an 
 unusual extent. 
 
 Starting from Marietta, which is at the elevation above the 
 sea previously mentioned, the successive stations have altitudes as 
 follows: 
 
 Woodstock, 994 feet. Jasper, 1.530 feet. 
 
 Canton, 960 feet. Talking Rock, 1,113 feet. 
 
 Ball Ground, 1,116 feet. Ellijay, 1,310 feet. 
 
 Tate's, 1.325 feet. 
 
 The road is completed as far as to Ellijay, seventy-one miles. 
 Within the present year it is considered that it will be extended via 
 White Path to Blue Ridge, and its ultimate terminus will be Murphy, 
 N. C. 
 
 White Path has an elevation of 1,500 feet above the sea, and Blue 
 Ridge 1,769 feet. Hence, it will be observed that this line pene- 
 trates the mountainous region of Georgia, and brings the tourist not 
 only into the midst of the wildest and most attractive scenery, but 
 also into an atmosphere which is most superb. 
 
 The United States Census reports show that this region is the 
 healthiest in America, without exception, for those who are threatened 
 
with pulmonary diseases. Out of every i,ooo deaths, only twenty- 
 eight in North Georgia are from diseases of the character named. 
 In North Carolina the number is thirty-two per thousand, while in 
 some of the New England States it runs up to as high as about one 
 hundred and ninety per thousand. Such a contrast is really remark- 
 able. Hay fever has never been known among the inhabitants of 
 this region. We may judge of the general health from the fact 
 that the United States Census reports of 1880 show the following- 
 death rate per thousand of the living population in the counties 
 named: Gilmer, 8; Union, 9, and Fannin, 5 — the latter, by the 
 way, being possibly the healthiest county in America. Instances of 
 striking longevity are noted in these counties. 
 
 It may be here stated that going via this line from Marietta one 
 reaches the great water-shed of North Georgia, which is comprised in 
 the elevated mountain plateau, if we may so term it, including the 
 counties, or portions of them, of Gilmer, Fannin, Union, Towns 
 and Rabun. 
 
 This region throws off the water as follows: To the north, the 
 Tennessee River, the Notley River, the Hiwassee River, and the 
 Toccoa, or, as it is known in Tennessee, the Ocoee River; to the 
 east, the Savannah River and its confluents, which include the 
 Tugalo and Tallulah Rivers; to the south, the Broad River, the 
 Chestatee River, the Tesnatee River and the Chattahoochee River; 
 and to the west, the EUijay River and the Carticay River, which two 
 form the Coosawattee, which is one of the main confluents of the 
 Oostanaula River, which the Western & Atlantic Railroad crosses at 
 Resaca, Ga., famed in history. 
 
 The average elevation of these counties is probably over two 
 thousand feet above the sea level, and the serrated sub-ranges of the 
 great Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains, which extend through 
 these counties, rise into quite a number of lofty peaks; prominent 
 among which are Trail Mountain, 4,438 feet high; Blood Mountain, 
 4,460 feet high; Mount Enota, otherwise called "The Brass-town 
 Bald" Mountain, 4,802 feet high; this latter, by the way, being the 
 loftiest peak in Georgia. Besides these, there is a number of other 
 peaks of about the same altitude. 
 
 There are numerous water-falls of striking beauty in this region ; 
 the highest of which are Amicalola Falls, in Dawson County, 
 about a day's ride from the railroad. These are 744 feet high from 
 the summit of the first leap to the level of the valley below, and can 
 be seen from Dawsonville, ten miles distant. 
 
 Northwest of Ellijay, some thirty miles, are the famous Ducktown 
 Copper Mines, the main shaft of which is 470 feet deep, and through 
 this region are numerous gold mines. There is also in these counties 
 a number of mineral springs. 
 
 At Tate's, fifty miles above MARIETTA, on the line of this narrow 
 gauge railway, a little branch road leads off about a couple of miles 
 to the Georgia Marble Quarries, in Pickens County. These quarries 
 are now being developed by a very strong com.pany, and shipments 
 are already being made to Philadelphia, Chicago, etc. The moun- 
 tains seem practically full of marble, which comprises several grades 
 and colors; there being one vein of a beautiful pink color; another 
 of white, variegated with a bluish tint, and another pure white. 
 
This "Geor<jia Marble," it is likely, will be used, within a year^or 
 two, in probably more than a score of States. 
 
 At Marble Cliff, by the way, about sixty miles north of Marietta, 
 in building the railroad around the side of the mountain, it became 
 necessary to blast off the white marble, which comprises the cliff, 
 and the road-bed for a short distance lies on marble, and that which 
 was blasted off was also used for ballasting purposes for the railroad, 
 above and below this point. 
 
 The railroad company, however, cannot brag as much on this 
 latter matter as they might under other circumstances, for the simple 
 reason that the marble was nearer at hand, and therefore cheaper for 
 ballast than other stone would have been. 
 
 Excursions to the marble quarries from Marietta are very 
 popular in the summer time, inasmuch as the tourist can leave 
 Marietta in the morning, spend some three hours at the quarries, 
 and reach Marietta in time for supper. 
 
 Pleasant trips are also enjoyed to Ellijay, and at that point the 
 nights are so cool that one always has to sleep under cover, and the 
 same may also be said of Jasper. 
 
 The climate of Marietta, by the way, is as fine as is to be 
 found in any city of the South. It has been said: 
 
 "The most potent influences which determine climate, are latitude 
 or distance from the equator, elevation above the tide, configuration 
 of mountain chains, proximity to the sea, and the direction of the 
 prevailing winds." 
 
 In all these particulars the position of Marietta is favorable for 
 a temperate and uniform climate. People from Georgia, Carolina, 
 Florida, Alabama and Louisiana do not need to go to the North and 
 West in summer time, as they can attain the same results at this 
 elevated point in Georgia; with the additional advantage of being 
 within one day's ride of their homes, should emergency call them 
 back; and with the power of coming and going by through morning 
 or night schedules. 
 
 Regarding the atmosphere, it may be stated that a resident of 
 Marietta, who kept the record during 1879, which was probably an 
 average year, states that the thermometer only went above ninety 
 degrees twelve times in the day-time at Marietta, and the corre- 
 sponding nights were from twenty to twenty-nine degrees cooler than 
 the days. The atmosphere in winter shows an average which is 
 very favorable for health. 
 
 Concerning the other advantages, it may be stated that the roads 
 are fine, and there are a number of splendid drives towards Kenne- 
 SAW Mountain and in other directions. 
 
 There is also a good livery and sale stable in the city, which can 
 supply the best facilities in its line. 
 
 Among the various enterprises of Marietta are the Kennesaw 
 Mills, whose brands of flour have quite an extensive sale in Georgia, 
 Florida and Carolina. This flour certainly stands well on its merits. 
 
 The Marietta Paper Manufacturing Co., a few miles from the city, 
 turns out a very excellent qualjty of book, news, and wrapping 
 paper. 
 
 There is also Brumby & Bro.'s factory for the manufacture of chairs, 
 which has an out-put which is very considerable; also a wagon and 
 
carriage factory; and the furniture, sash and blind establishment of 
 L. Black & Son has a fine trade. 
 
 Warlick's Photograph Gallery gets a patrotiage which is large, and 
 well merits it. 
 
 Besides these, there is likewise a number of other industries and 
 mercantile establishments which do credit to the city. 
 
 By reason of the great reduction in coal rates which the Western 
 & Atlantic Railroad Company has made, for the purpose of building 
 up the manufacturing interests on its line, Marietta is able to 
 get coal for steam purposes at $2.25 per ton, delivered. 
 
 As to hotels, etc., Mariett.v is very well off. The Kennesaw 
 House immediately on the line of the Western & Atlantic Railroad, 
 and fronting the depot, is kept by Mr. A. A. Fletcher, in a style 
 which must be pleasing to the tourist and sojourner. One square 
 from the depot is the beautiful Whitlock House. This is in the 
 midst of a little grove of choice trees, with flowers interspersed, ami 
 has every advantage which could be desired in the way of elegant 
 rooms, bath rooms on each floor, a fine table, a bowling alley and 
 croquet grounds, and pure milk from Mr. Whitlock's own dairy. 
 
 There are also several excellent boarding houses in Marietta, 
 among which may be named those kept by Miss Idell Marlow, Mrs. 
 M. J. Wright, Mr. L. S. Cox, Mrs. L. C. McLellan, Mrs. A. Cook, 
 and the "European House," which is kept on the plan indicated by 
 its name. 
 
 Marietta also has Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist and Presbyterian 
 churches for the white population, also good churches for the 
 colored. These are all supplied with pastors of good ability. 
 
 The bar of the city is unusually fine, and includes lawyers of 
 established and wide-spread reputation. 
 
 There are drug stores here, and in addition to several physicians 
 there are two splendid dentists. 
 
 Marietta has a flourishing telephone exchange, which, besides the 
 local patronage, is connected with Atlanta and the new station, 
 Elizabeth. 
 
 There are also numerous beautiful dwelling-houses in the city; 
 and the oak groves in front and around some of these are of rare 
 beauty and very attractive. 
 
 On the northeast side of the city is the National Cemetery, which 
 covers nearly thirty acres. The National Government has spent 
 many thousands of dollars in decorating it, until it now presents a 
 very elegant appearance. The front entrance was erected at a cost 
 of some thousands of dollars, and is massive and tasty. Within the 
 enclosure are the remains of 10,132 Federal soldiers. 
 
 Just one square from the Western & Atlantic Railroad depot is 
 the City Park, which is the pride of the Marietta people, and 
 justly so. 
 
 Every well regulated and ambitious city has at least one suburb, 
 and Marietta is not left behind in this respect. The American Marble 
 Cutting Company is now erecting a marble mill at a point nearly 
 two miles north of Marietta. The main building of this factory is 
 over four hundred feet long and forty-seven feet wide. The engine 
 house, which is of brick, with marble facings, is sixty feet long by 
 forty feet wide. The chimney is one hundred and twenty-six feet high.

 The company owns about one hundred and sixty acres of land at 
 this point. Of course, the dwelling-houses of the employes, etc., 
 will be built around this, and inasmuch as the Western & Atlantic 
 Railroad Company have here put down extensive side-tracks, and have 
 in contemplation all the necessary arrangements for conducting busi- 
 ness with this company immediately at their mill, it became necessary 
 that a new station should be opened here, and this has been named 
 "Elizaheth," in compliment to the estimable wife of Senator 
 Joseph E. Brown, who (the Senator) as Governor, when the road 
 was under control of the State, or as President of the company since 
 it was leased, has been connected with this road directly or indirectly 
 for over twenty-two years. 
 
 The town of Elizaheth is at present in an inchoate state; but 
 doubtless before another year rolls around will present a very lively 
 appearance, and wil! doubtless enjoy the distinction of being one of 
 the principal marble shipping points in America. There is also talk 
 of the erection of a splendid hotel at this point by a body of 
 influential capitalists. 
 
 One of the greatest attractions which MARIETTA possesses is her 
 proximity to the far-famed Kennesaw Mountains, around the 
 eastern base of which the Western & Atlantic Railroad runs, hardly 
 more than two miles north of Marietta. 
 
 The Kennesaw Mountains consists of two peaks, which rear 
 tlieir summits very prominently above the surrounding hill-country. 
 The highest of the two is nearer the Western & Atlantic line, and 
 its extreme altitude is i,6og feet above the sea level. From the 
 summit, of course, a most charming view of the city of Marietta 
 can be enjoyed, and on a clear day houses in the city of Atlanta, 
 which is probably less than twenty miles distant, in an air line, can 
 be easily seen. It has been in contemplation to erect a tower on the 
 summit of this mountain; in this event it will become quite a resort 
 
for sight-seers. From the Western & Atlantic side to the summit 
 the ascent is gradual, and it is practicable to open a road for carriages 
 to ascend to the summit. 
 
 From these mountains "The Great Kennesaw Route," which 
 is synonymous with the Western & Atlantic Railroad, received its title. 
 Besides this fact, Kennesaw Mountains are famed in Am.erican 
 annals as being the scene of some of the fiercest and most bloody 
 fighting during the great Civil War. 
 
 In this vicinity for twenty-six days Sherman's and Johnston's 
 armies confronted each other, during which, in General Johnston's 
 language. 
 
 "Besides the incessant musketry of skirmishers, the Confederate 
 troops had to endure an almost uninterrupted cannonade — and to 
 endure without returning it; for their supply of artillery ammunition 
 was so inadequate, that their batteries could be used only to repel 
 assaults, or in serious engagements." 
 
 From the summits of Kennesaw, can be seen the thickly wooded, 
 rolling country, wherein for nearly a month the two contending 
 hosts faced and fought. 
 
 Westward, some ten miles, is Neiv Hope Church, where, on May 
 25, 1864, occurred a desperate struggle between Hooker's corps and 
 Stewart's division, in which the former sustained a bloody repulse. 
 
 Near this point also on May 26th, occurred a very hot cavalry fight, 
 between Avery's regiment of Georgia cavalry and a large body 
 of Federal cavalry, and, although largely outnumbered, and badly 
 wounded, Col. Avery, General Johnston says, "maintained the 
 position until the arrival of forces capable of holding the ground." 
 
 From this elevation can also be observed the battle-field of Burnt 
 Hickory, or as it also is sometimes called. New Hope Church, which 
 is about ten miles northwest of Kennesaw Mountain, and about 
 five miles west of Acworth. 
 
 At this point, on May 27th, was a very fierce and sanguinary com- 
 bat, which resulted in the defeat of the Union forces with great loss. 
 
 Kennesaw, Pine, and Lost Mountains — the latter being about six 
 miles west of Kennesaw, and Pine Mountain being northward of botli 
 — form a triangle, where Johnston had taken his defensive position. 
 The intervening country is rough and very woody. 
 
 On Pine Mountain, on June 14, 1864, the Confederate Lieutenant- 
 General Polk was killed by an artillery shot. Gen. Sherman had 
 observed a little group of officers, as he correctly supposed, near the 
 summit of that mountain, and ordered the' commander of one of his 
 batteries to fire upon them. General Polk was struck in the breast 
 by an unexploded shell and killed. 
 
 On June 15th, Johnston abandoned Pine Mountain, and on the 
 16th, Lost Mountain, in order to better concentrate his forces. 
 
 Sherman's constant flank movements caused several changes in 
 Johnston's position; which, the latter says, "was a very hazardous 
 one," and gave rise to daily combats, some of considerable importance. 
 
 On June 20th, east of the railroad, opposite Kennesaw Mountain, 
 occurred the most considerable cavalry fight of the campaign. The 
 Federals were routed by Wheeler. 
 
 General Sherman says in one of his dispatches: 
 
 "The whole country is one vast fort, and Johnston must have at 
 least fifty miles of connected trenches with abatis and finished 
 
batteries. * * * Our lines are now in close contact and the 
 fightinjj is incessant, with a good deal of artillery fire. As fast as 
 we gain one position, the enemy has another all ready; but I think 
 he will soon have to let go Kennesavv Mountain, which is the key 
 to the whole country." 
 
 General Sherman further says that on the 24th and 25th of June 
 he extended his right as fa" as prudent, so as to compel Johnston 
 " to thin out his Lines correspondingly, with the intention to make 
 two strong assaults at points where success would give us (the Union 
 army) the greatest advantage." 
 
 He adds, that he thought that if he could break Johnston's long 
 line at any point, and thrust in a strong head of column, he could 
 cut Johnston's army in two, and thus force him to evacuate this 
 position; and doubtless, as he considered it, with great disaster to 
 the Confederates. 
 
 The 27th of June was the day fixed for the assault. Sherman adds: 
 
 "About 9.00 A. M., of the day appointed, the troops moved to 
 the assault, and all along our lines for ten miles a furious fire of 
 artillery and musketry was kept up. At all points the enemy met us 
 with determined courage and in great force. McPherson's attacking 
 column fought up the face of the lesser Kennesaw; but could not 
 reach the summit. * * * By ir.30 the assault was in fact over 
 and had failed. We had not broken the rebel line at either point." 
 
 Such is substantially CJeneral Sherman's brief description of this 
 battle, as beheld from the Federal stand-point. 
 
 Taking ourselves back, however, to the day of the great struggle, 
 and viewing it from the summit of Kennesaw, it is stated by those 
 who participated in it, as having presented one of the grandest 
 scenes which the page of war unfolds. 
 
 Here, beginning among the hills east of Kennesaw Mountain, 
 and running westward to and across the Western & Atlantic Railroad, 
 and up the ridge to the summits; thence, around the front side and 
 crests of both peaks near the base of the lesser Kennesaw; thence, 
 turning southward, and extending through the comparatively level 
 country for some three miles or more, was the Confederate line of 
 entrenchments. 
 
 On the crests of the two mountains the Confederates had batteries, 
 which could overlook the whole field, and interspersed along the 
 line, particularly that part of the position southwest of the moun- 
 tains, was also a number of pieces of artillery. Behind these lengthy 
 earthworks rested probably over 55,000 Confederate troops, not only 
 fearless, but eager for the approaching battle. 
 
 In front of this line of defense, which was probably more than 
 eight miles long. General Sherman had marshalled over one 
 hundred thousand of the finest soldiers in America. 
 
 Of their bravery, their fortitude, and their willingness to seal their 
 convictions with their blood, there need not, at this late day, be any 
 controversy. It may be truthfully asserted that there was not, during 
 the entire war, a finer army sent into the field by the Federal Govern- 
 ment than this magnificent array, which on the 27th day of June, 1864, 
 moved forward to wrest Kennesaw Mountain and Marietta from 
 General Johnston's army, if it lay in the power of brave men to do it. 
 
 The early morning found them massing in heavy force at all points 
 along the line, and at nine o'clock the battle began in earnest. 
 
 9 
 
From two hundred and fifty cannon on Sherman's side there 
 poured forth a terrific bombardment upon the Confederate position. 
 
 This was replied to, to a moderate degree, by the Confederate 
 batteries, although they, to some extent, held their fire for the closer 
 work which was to come. 
 
 Now, through the thick woods approached the serried columns, 
 several lines deep. It was a magnificent sight as they moved 
 forward, over hill and dale, towards the grand point of attack. It 
 was not long before this tide of valor swept forward within range of 
 the small arms behind the Confederate entrenchments; and now, 
 almost all along the line, the curling smoke and the rattle of musketry 
 began to make the welkin ring. 
 
 From the advancing hosts defiance went back in volley after volley, 
 and still onward and onward came the rush. 
 
 At all points there were exhibited the varied terrors of carnage, 
 the inspiring scenes of war; and as prominent as the roar of cannon 
 and the rattle of small arms arose the "huzzahs" of the undaunted 
 assailants and the wild "rebel yell" from behind the entrenchments. 
 
 But there was one part of the Confederate line which did not 
 share in the tumult and fierce resistance which was everywhere else 
 apparent. This was the portion held by the division of Major- 
 General Cleburne, or, as all the Southern people know him, "Pat 
 Cleburne." It has been said of Cleburne that he was the only man 
 in the Confederate army who could absolutely control his men and 
 make them hold their fire until he was ready for it to be delivered. 
 On the day of this battle, when the Federal advance began, it is 
 stated that he said to his troops that he would shoot any man who 
 would dare to fire a gun until he gave the word. 
 
 This was the explanation of the ominous silence all along that 
 portion of the breastworks held by his force. Probably the effect of 
 this can best be shown by repeating the words of a Federal Colonel, 
 who was captured in this battle, and who described it the next day. 
 
 Said he: 
 
 "It was the most severe ordeal which my nervous system has 
 ever undergone. When we began the advance, we naturally ex- 
 pected that the artillery would open upon us, as soon as we got 
 within range; and that, having swept forward until we were in reach 
 of the fire of musketry, that would begin to open upon us also. 
 
 "I had been through so much of this that I had ceased to fear it, 
 and always relied on the excitement of the occasion carrying me 
 forward; but here we ran for some two hundred yards or more and 
 there was not a cannon shot. Another hundred yards, and still no 
 explosion of bombshell, or anything of the kind! I now began to 
 feel a little strange. Another hundred yards, and still no sign of 
 life, and my nervousness began to give place to a desire to halt. 
 Another hundred yards, and we were certainly within range of 
 musketry; but still there was not one sign of life in the entrench- 
 ments in front of us; nothing to gave cause for apprehension, j 
 apparently, except the waving of the Confederate flags above the 
 works, as a light wind blew. 
 
 "Now, over me began to come a mortal feeling of dread; a feel- 
 ing which I never had before, and which I can scarcely describe. I 
 would have turned and fled but for the fear of disgrace which was 
 stronger even than the horror of death; but I knew what was 
 coming, and determined by my example to inspire my men to brave 
 it, no matter how terrible it was. |> 
 
 "At length we were within scarcely more than twenty yards of | 
 the entrenchments when from all along the line protruded forth, ^_ 
 
 10 
 
beneath the head-logs, scores and hundreds of muskets. I could 
 see them as I gave a quick glance down the whole front, and those 
 immediately before me, particularly, seemed slightly waving from 
 side to side. There was no mistaking it. I knew that every holder 
 of a musket was picking out his man. 
 
 "This continued for but a few moments, when above all other 
 sounds, distinct and clear, I heard the command given, "Now, 
 Mkn, Fire! " 
 
 " Instantly, from along the entire line, there seemed, like a lightning 
 flash, to burst forth a sheet of flame and smoke. I was struck, and 
 fell senseless for an instant; but when I recovered myself and turned 
 to look there seemed to be scarcely seven men in my entire regiment 
 on their feet. 
 
 "Then the fury of the combat arose above every other sight or 
 sound. The whole forest and mountain seemed to be on fire. 
 There was no army in the world that could have stood before it! " 
 
 As an evidence of the correctness of this description, it may be 
 stated, that after the battle the Confederates picked up in front of 
 Cleburne's line 1,002 dead and wounded Federals. 
 
 The fighting at the line of defense extending for three miles 
 through the level country south of Kennesaw Mountain and west of 
 M.VRIETTA was furious in the extreme; and it required the most 
 heroic exertions of the Confederates to repel the determined assaults 
 which were made with such desperate bravery by more than twice 
 their number upon this line, as well as upon the lesser Kennesaw. 
 
 Without viewing further this dread panorama of war which was 
 exhibited before the heights of Kennesaw Mountain, we will only 
 add that the Confederate loss in this, the greatest battle of the 
 campaign, was 808; the Federal loss running up into the thousands. 
 This battle will always stand forth as one of the most notable of the 
 great Civil War, the advantages of position on one hand being 
 fully matched by those in point of numbers on the other; and as 
 an exhibition of the valor of American soldiery will ever hold a 
 prominent position on the page of fame. 
 
 Regarding the period before and after this date. General Sherman 
 says: 
 
 "These losses from June ist to July 3d were all substantially sus- 
 tained about Kennesaw and Marietta, and it was really a continuous 
 battle lasting from the loth day of June till the 3d of July, when the 
 rebel army fell back from Marietta towards the Chattahoochee 
 River." 
 
 The hill-sides around and in the midst of the mountain triangle 
 near Marietta were seamed with entrenchments or honeycombed 
 with rifle pits. The thick woods and undergrowth added obscurity 
 and confusion to the movements of large bodies of troops. 
 
 This natural fortress in front of the little city of Marietta for 
 nearly a month Sherman attempted to wrest by main force from 
 Johnston; but at length gave up the endeavor, and with his grand 
 army swung around to the west, and, on July 3d, so imperilled 
 Johnston's communications with Atlanta, that he compelled him to 
 retire towards the Chattahoochee River. 
 
 The tourist of the present day who stops at Marietta can without 
 trouble trace the lines of entrenchments on and before the moun- 
 tain, and upon almost every hill can notice the rifle pits which were, 
 during the month of June, 1864, occupied by the opposing sharp- 
 shooters.

 THE BEST CLIMATE IN GEORGIA. 
 
 At the meeting of the Kings County Medical Society in Brooklyn, 
 N. Y., November, 1883, Dr. P. R. Cortelyou, of Marietta, Ga., an 
 old member of the society, being present, was called upon to relate his 
 experience in regard to the climate of Georgia as a place of resi- 
 dence for persons affected with pulmonary and throat troubles. 
 After narrating to some extent his own affliction in the above respect, 
 and his attempts to find a climate which would afford him relief, and 
 showing the difficulties which he experienced at one or two points 
 from dampness, foggy weather, etc., and the inability to find a 
 climate where he could obtain refreshing sleep at night, Dr. Cor- 
 telyou showed that he had found at Marietta the point which had 
 brought him relief from general debility and from the pulmonary and 
 throat affection from which he suffered. He added: 
 
 "Very many think that because the winters are mild the summers 
 are exceedingly long and hot. The summers are really exceedingly 
 pleasant. We rarely have a temperature above ninety degrees in the 
 shade; and the nights are also very comfortable; and I don't think 
 there were half a dozen nights during the past summer when I was 
 kept awake on account of the heat, or when I did not need some 
 covering. Another advantage of that section — I speak especially of 
 Marietta, but many sections in upper Georgia are fully as favorable 
 as to climate, the conditions are all the same, but we have a little 
 more elevation than the other sections — is, the absolute freedom 
 from malarial troubles. And further, and this is a point to which I 
 wish to direct your attention, we are easy of access. I think that is 
 a decided benefit in many cases. I hear a good deal said about New 
 Mexico. Well, when an invalid attempts to go there, away from his 
 friends, he has a very tiresome and tedious journey, and the facili- 
 ties for a comfortable living there are, in many parts of the country, 
 difficult to procure; so that if one requires any special luxuries, it is 
 difficult to get them. At Marietta we are situated conveniently to 
 Atlanta, where we can get anything that can be had here ; and persons 
 located there are certainly very easily reached by friends, if necessary; 
 and so they feel that they are not entirely isolated from their friends 
 and families as they are when they go to New Mexico or even Cali- 
 fornia." 
 
 COBB COUNTY, 
 
 of which Marietta is the seat of justice, is one of the largest, 
 wealthiest and most prosperous geographical divisions of the State. 
 It was laid off from Cherokee in 1832 and named in honor of Hon. 
 Thomas W. Cobb. The soil of the county is varied, the bottoms 
 and some of the hilly lands being very fertile, and but little of it too 
 sterile for successful cultivation. Many metals and minerals, includ- 
 ing gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, etc., have been discovered at 
 different times, and some gold and silver mines have been profitably If 
 worked. 
 
 Agriculture is the main resource and occupation of the people, but 
 of late years considerable capital has been invested in manufactures | 
 also. The inhabitants are proverbially law-abiding, temperate and i. 
 moral. This is one of the prohibition counties, and the new order 
 of things has been acquiesced in without a murmur. At the largest 
 
 12 
 
fair ever held by the State Agricultural Society at .Macon, Cobb bore 
 away the honors, and was justly called the banner county of Georgia. 
 At this very moment she has no less than seven agricultural district 
 clubs in successful operation, and much attention is devoted to the 
 rearing of fine cattle, sheep and swine. The nicely worked public 
 roads also afford substantial evidence of thrift and increasing civiliza- 
 tion. Fifteen post-ofifices afford light and intelligence to the masses. 
 Numerous schools, academies and churches are found in every dis- 
 trict, and from the above showing it does seem that Cobb may still 
 claim to be at least one of the banner counties of the State. — From 
 Letter in the " Southern World" by Col. II. II. Jones.

 Annual death rate per 1,000 of living population, 12. 
 
 The statistics on a part of the subjects contained in the above since 
 the Federal Census of 1880 show a very decided increase; but we 
 merely quote the above because it is a full representation at the date 
 named. 
 
 AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AT MARIETTA, GA. 
 
 The average temperature for six months, from November to April, 
 during a period of four years, was as follows : i875-'6, 48^4^ degrees ; 
 i876-'7, 44 degrees ; i877-'8, 47^^ degrees ; i878-'g, 44^ degrees. 
 Average temperature for the entire year was as follows : 1875, 56^ 
 degrees; 1876, 56^ degrees; 1877, 57^/^ degrees; 1878, 57}^ 
 degrees; 1879, 57"/^ degrees.

THERE are few counties which are so well adapted to give 
 profitable return to manufacturing industries as Cobb. The 
 requisites for the successful conducting of such enterprises 
 are: first, raw material ; second, water or steam power ; third, intelli- 
 gent population, and, fourth, proximity to the consuming section ; 
 fifth, health. All these Cobb County enjoys to a very decided 
 extent. 
 
 To all who wish to go into the business of manufacturing furniture 
 and other products of lumber, there is furnished a supply of this 
 material which will feel no appreciable contraction for years to come. 
 Among the varieties of wood which are found in Cobb County may 
 be mentioned the following : Red oak, black oak, post oak, Spanish 
 oak, chestnut oak, blackjack, white ash, blue ash, black ash, poplar, 
 birch, sycamore, hickory, yellow pine, walnut, locust, willow, wild 
 cherry, maple, elm, dogwood, sweetgum, mulberry, persimmon, 
 chestnut, beech, and others. 
 
 To those who wish to utilize the product of ore, the following 
 varieties offer themselves : Brown hematite iron, iron pyrites, man- 
 ganese, kaolin, chrome mica, hornblende, graphite, soapstone, spec- 
 ular ore, mica, granite, gold ore, gold quartz, quartzite, asbestos, 
 manganese with -iron, copper pyrites, schist and blackhead, honey- 
 comb quartz, garnets, decomposed feldspar. 
 
 To the cotton manufacturer Cobb County offers over 12,000 bales 
 per annum. 
 
 Besides these, the grain crops afford large supplies to milling 
 interests, which are supplemented to a much greater extent by grain 
 brought from Tennessee and the West. 
 
 The water-powers of Cobb County are very fine indeed, and while 
 some of them are utilized, yet the tithe has not been reached. 
 
 In addition to these, the Western & Atlantic Railroad Co. has 
 reduced the rates on coal for manufacturing purposes to such an 
 extent that Cobb County stations enjoy as cheap coal as Atlanta 
 itself. 
 
 The population is composed of an intelligent class of people who 
 take readily to manufacturing industries, and develop rapidly those 
 which are founded on a firm basis. 
 
 The last material requisite for successful manufacturing Cobb 
 County enjoys to a very unusual extent, Atlanta and the great con- 
 suming section being immediately south of and around her ; hence, it 
 is not necessary to elaborate further upon this subject. 
 
 As to health, this publication elsewhere shows that this county is 
 above the average.

 MILLS • AT • MARIETTA, GA. 
 
 The Kennesaw Mills Company have, at a cost of $10,000, just 
 completed the work of an addition of the late and most improved 
 patterns of the 
 
 NKW ROIvIvER PROCESS 
 
 FOR MAKING 
 
 rftpl and Bo Ited C®m Mttl and Grits, 
 
 This system has as thoroughly revolutionized the product of corn 
 as the Roller Process has done in wheat. The product is free from 
 any impurity. In the old process, every impurity goes into the 
 meal, except the coarse bran ; that is removed at the expense of the 
 purchaser, by means of a sieve, whilst an immense amount of fine, 
 dirty stuff passes through the sieve into the meal, thence into bran, 
 and thence into the stomach of the consumer, which would be ex- 
 ceedingly objectionable to them if they could glance at the mass and 
 character of the stuff that our machinery removes from the meal. 
 
 We have the latest and most improved 
 
 ROLLER SYSTEM FOR WHEAT 
 
 and our grades of Flour cannot be excelled in point of high grades, 
 and not equalled in uniformity by any mill.

 To invalids who do not care to risk the low altitudes and dampness of the extreme 
 South, and yet can hardly endure the ri(;or of a winter among the mountains of Western 
 North Carolina or Eastern Tennessee, Marietta, Georgia, offers special attractions. I'hc 
 water is pure and soft, the drainage is perfect, and malaria is unknown. 
 
 .. ...'rimis drawback to Marietta in the past has been its limited accommodations for 
 boarders. To supuly this necessity to some extent, the undersigned has recently erected 
 a commodious huildmg, with large, well ventilated rooms, water carried to every part of 
 the house, l>ath-rooms and water closets on each floor, open tire-places in all the rooms, 
 and all modern conveniences. 
 
 A cottage, containing four rooms, has been built within a few yards of the main house 
 to accommodate the overflow during the busy season. 
 
 In the large double parlors a Weber Grand piano and cabinet organ are placed for the 
 entertainment of guests, while outside, a croquet ground and bowling alley are among the 
 attractions. 
 
 The table is well supplied from the markets of Marietta and Atlanta. An abundance 
 of pure milk is furnished from my own dairy. The best Jersey butter used at every meal.

 and about twenty elegant chambers, which will when completed, make the house one o:

 The halls and dining-room will be comfortably heated in winter, and delightfully ven- 
 r. This addition will be completed by the first of September, next.
