Wi 6 THE OLD CAMP CROUND. The Progress of the South by One Who Has Been Absent Seventeen Years, Industries That Have Been Completed Within the Past Ten Years, Correspondence Cincinnati Gagettee Buinarrort, Ala,, —After 17 yoars 1 am vistting the old camp-ground Seventeen years ago I stood on these red hi and intimidated the solid South, and to-day I cannot find the ‘‘historic spot Despite the heat 1 walked all day among the heads of the Tennessee and points of the mountains, but all is changed. On the ridge where our camp stood, where there was then not a shrub, the timber is now forty feet high and barely passable to a scared low it the slopes, then workgd to mud or dust by tramping regiments or army mules, are now gieen with springing corn, white and red with clover tops, or beautiful with and flowers. But far beyond are the same blue mountains, the Tennessee sparkles even niore beautifully th it did, and over and around the old camp-ground is the same blue sky and soft air. VALLEY PEOPLE Are greatly changed, however. Up what was then a wild gorge now runs a railroad; land near here is held at 60 an acre; coal mines md iron fur- naces are not far away, and sevoral new and neat villages adorn the vi- cinity. Here I did my last service; hence, in September, 1864, T depart- ed for Indianapolis, where I gladly “shucked” the uniform, took a re- ceipt for my musket, drew my pay, and left the work of saqing the Union to “more able men.” And of all the citizens I knew hereabout in that long summer I can find but one, and he 1s 70 years old, and has latoly married a young wife! But he confidentially admits that he is not as rebellious as he »as, T began this letter hind end first, so T will take things in order of our progress, go back to the . SELMA, ROME AND DALTONE RAILROAD, On which we found nine iron furna- ces, all put up within ten years, Tak- ing them in reverse order—that is, from Rome southward—they are: 1. The Ridge Valley, Georgia, which makes car-wheel iron, warm blast. 2. The Atna, Georgia; car-whoel iron, cold blast. 3. Tecumseh, Alabama; Hon, Wil- lard Warner's furnace, previously de- scribed. 4. The Stonewall, Alabama; blast. ' 5. Rock Run, Alabama; warm blast; turns out car-wheel iron. Belongs to John M. Bass of F't. Wayne, Ind. 6. The two furnaces at Woodstock, Alabama; warm blast; turn out car- wheel iron, 7. The Alabama furnace; blast, car-wheel iron, 8. The Shelby blast, car-wheel iron. 9. The Brassfield. There are two furnaces, of which one has just blowed in;_the other has been idle some time, and we could not learn that anything Iike a revival was in progress with it. With these, the Birmingham works, and some others, Alabama has in- creased her 1ron production 900 per cent, in ten years. Hor growth }ms been steady, not too rapid, and has never had o setback since it fairly started 1n 1879, From Birmingham around by Montgomery, Atlanta and western North Carolina, the central south is now filled with the idea that her radum‘sniuu is to be by manufac- turing, vnd her motto is, ‘“Less cotton and a more diversified industry.” Among other fuanaces in Alabama ‘which we could not visit T heard most frequent mention of the Round Mountain furnace on the Cooss, tiow in active operation, Also the Corn- wall, just now idle, and the Edwards furnace on the A. G. 8. milroad a coke burner, turning out first-class foundry and mill iron. At OXMORE, ontheS. & N. railroad, six miles south of Birmingham. Many Cincin- nati men are interested, and the en- terprise there is everywhere spoken of in the south as a “‘real Yankee town.” Two hotblast coke furnaces are there turning out foundry and mill iron, and u‘i looked on the roaring chim- neys and lively workers from the car window I found it difficult to realize that T was in what wo have so long considered the old, slow, sleepy stato of Alabama. The question of a true magnetic iron ore in sufficient amount in Ala- a is furiously discussed. Gen, W. Warner says: “Many specimens have been found, but we can not say yot whether there is enough to amount to anything.” Mr. Debardleben, of the great Pratt mine, near Birmingham, insists that it can be had in immenso quantities, and Mr, T, T. Hillmaa, of o Alice furnace, Birmingham, agroes with Gen. Warner. Mr. Hillman, by the way, bears an historic name in the iron line. His father was the original of the firm of D, Hillman & Sons, of the Ten- nessee rolling works, which were located, however, just over the line in Kentucky, on the Cumberland river. They made the noted “‘Hill- man boiler iron,” familiar to all river and iron wen from Pittsburg to New Orleans. Established there in 1842, the Hillwans ran the concern till 1878, when it passed to other hands, and one of the sons came to Birmingham. Mr. William Vann claims to have de- veloped a seam of the true »magnectic ore near Trassville, on the Alabama Southern; and Mr. Henry Deppy, of Lehigh Gap, Pa., has purchased ex- tensively of the repomb seam. Mean- while the six Bessemer steel com- panies of this country hold fast to their monopoly in the Thomas & Gil- christ patent, and the question is agi- tated whether one of them will not locate in Alabama. Birmingham thinks so, but I don't. To sum up~—Alabama contains 32,- 462,080 acres, of which 20,630,962 are still in virgin forest! In other words,in 1880 seven-tenths of all the Btate was in timber. Bo it is no old worn out country, The railroad com- bination now gives railroad fare: Liverpool to 'l“unulouu, §36; New York to Tuscaloosa, $13. hot warm furnaces; warm | 60,000 widows, |the people below ncerage in vigor? | Well, you would not have thought so [+f you haa met them in battle or no- | ted the marches and privations they endured in 1861656, One-fifth of Alabama's entire served in the confederate army, and the State came out of the war with 10,000 square miles of desolation and At Chickamauga the Alabama regiments left two-fifths of their number dead or wounded, and at Franklin nearly two-thirds of their remnants stood without flinching un til they were shot down. In one case threo regiments were consolidated in one after Chickamauga, and” of the new ome only one-third ever appeared | in ranke after the charge at Franklin, And are mnot these our countrymen | who could so bravely fight and die for what they bolieved the right? I claim them one and all for mine. INTO GEORGIA By the 8., R. & D. road, and then a two day's halt at Rome, which' is set on seven hills, at the junction of the | Oostenaula and Etowah,and for a small place exactly fiils the celebrated old woman's 1ft-m-n‘p'inn of Pittsburg: ““In the forks of the two is Rome, a dirty place, but there is a heap of bus- iness done there.” And they seemed to drive it 80 as to show us their best for the editorial association of (ieor- gin met there during our stay, and the city amused them with a boat race on the Oostenaula, a business parade and other pisplays. The draymen got up a very creditable display. Nearly all of them were cvr]urm‘, and to the {lnn» sier eye it looked a little odd to sce black marshals dashing about on blood- ed horses, black musicians, a wagon full of colored ladies in character dress, and hero and there a white drayman like a spot on the procession, The banners stated that Rome had bought and worked or shipped 108,- 000 bales of cotton this commercial year. The city also boasts of having the best water works in the south,and is generally a regular metropolis of Georgia Yankees, 1 was much pleased with the general’ appearance of the Georgin editors, whose convention I attended for one day, and remarked that, unlike our Indiana editors, they attended to business before they did their junketing. Thence we went to ATLANTA And abode three days, finding the people considerably excited over the great cotton exposition, which is to come off in October. Its scope has been greatly enlarged, until it is to be an exposition of everything which interests the south. Mr. H. L. Kimball, who has charge of the exposition building and genor- al arrangements, is a decided success. He is a native of Maine, one of six brothors, all of whom are original and progressive. H. 1. was once Demo- cratic candidate for governor of Maine, but in the south in war time he be- come a Ropublican. He carried things with such a high hand during recc struction times that the old south par- ty invited him toleave as soon as they got the power. Not long afterward Atlanta seen that sho noeded just such & man and invited him back. He came and made several enterprises success- ful and ran for mayor, lacking but fifty votes of an election. When the great opera house he was interested in failed to pay, ho said he would make it pay by using it for the Georgia state house. They laughed at him, but all tho same ho brought the capital of Georgia to Atlanta, and the offices are now in the old opera houso. The revolution in a unmlmnku 80 quiet- ly and quickly done that the American peoplo have scarcely found it out, and most of the common schools yet teach that Milledgevillo is the™ capital When the cotton exposition was pro- igctud the unanimous voice was for imball to manage it. In 1870, March 12, ho broke ground for tho Kimball hotel, and on the 19th of October it was ready for guosts, Un- fortunately thero aro $660,000 in it, on which dividends are scarce, And 80 it is with most of his great works— he makes them succeed, and they help the aity, but he gains no lucre thereby. plan for the exposition uildings is for a serics of wooden structures, in the style of movable cotton mills, and to be used as such afterwards, * There will bo a special department for railroads, in which they aro ex- pected to display svecimens of all minerals along their lines, Atlanta talks familiaxly of her 45,- 000 people, and I judge she has about that many, She is in the hill country, ot rather, where the hill country bo- ,finl toyield to the level lands of the ar south, and is to be the commercial motropolis of three states. Thence we journey leisurely to Chattanooga, of which more anon. HaxsoN, DEATH OF MARIE LAVEAU A Woman With a Wonderful His: tory, Almost a Contury Old, Carried to the Tomb Yestorday Evening. New Orleans Picayune, Thoso who have passed by the quaint old house on St. Ann, bétweon Rampart and Burgundy stroets, with the high, frail-looking fence in front over which a tree or two is visible, have, till within the last few years, woticed through the open gateway a decrepid old lady with snow-white huir, and a smile of peace and content- ment lighting up her golden features, For a fow years past sho has been missed from her accustomed | lace, “Tho feeble old lady lay upon her bed, with her daughter and grandchildren around hor ministering to her wants, On Wednesday the invalid sank into the sleep which knows no waking, Those whom she had befriended crowded into the little room where she was in order to obtain a last look at the features, smiling even in death, of her who had been 50 kind to them, At b o'clock yesterday evening Marie Layeau was buried in her family tomb in St. Louis cemetery No, I. Her remaing were followed to the grave by a large concourse of people, the most prominent and the most humblo joining in paying their last respects to the dead. * Father Mignot conducted the funeral services, Marie Laveau wae born eight i-uur- ago. Her father was a rich planter, who was prominent in all public affuirs, and served in the legislature of this state. Her mother wis Marguerite Henry, and hergrand- mother was Marguerite Semard. All were beautiful women of color. The ift of beauty was hereditary in the amily, and ‘hriu inherited it in the ninety- white population | THE OMAH/ Is the climate fenergating, and are | fullest degree. When she was twenty- fivo years old she was led to the altar by Jacques Paris, a carpenter. This | marriage took place at the St. Louis | cathedral, Pere Antoine, of the be. [ loved memory, conducting the service and Mr. Mazureau, nous lawyer, acting as witness. A year afterwards Mr. Paris disappeared, and no one knows to this day what became of him. After waiting a year for his re- turn she married Captain Christophe Glapion. The latter was also very prominent there, and served with dis- tinction in the battalion of men of 8an Domingo, under D'Aquin, with Jackson in the war of 1815, Fifteen children were the result of their marriage. Only one of these is now alive. Oapt. Glapion died great- ly regre the 25th of Junes 1¢ afterward Marie and has been sick ever since, her indisposition becoming more pronounced and painful within the last ten years. Busides béing very beautiful, Maric was also very wise. 8he was skilful in the practice of medicine and was acquainted with the valuable healing qualities of indigenous herbs, She was very successful as a nurse, wonderful stories being told of her exploits at the sick-bed. Tn yellow fever and cholera epidemics sho was always called upon to nurse the sick, and always responded ,.m.,\.uy. Her skill and knowledge earned her the friendship and approbation of those sufficiently cultivated, but the ignor- ant attributed her success to unnat- ural means and held her in constant dread. Notably in 18534 committeo of gentlemen, appointed ata mass meet- ing held at Globe hall, waited on Marie and requested her on behalf of the people to minister to the fever- stricken. She went out and fought the pestilence where it was the thick- est, and many alive to-day owe their salvation to her devotion. Not only to the sick wns Mary La- veau a blessing. To help a fellow- creature in distress she considered a priceless privilege. She was born in the house where she died. Her mother lived and died there before her. The unassuming cottage has stood for a century and a lialf, It was built by the first French settlers of adobe, and not a brick was used in its construction. When it was orected it was considered the hand- somest building in the neighborhood. Rampart street was not then in exis- tence, being the skirt of a wilderness, and latterly a line of entrenchment. Notwithstanding the decay of her little mansion, Marie made the sicht of it pleasant to the unfortunate. any time of night or day anyone was welcome to food and shelter. Those in trouble had but to come to her and she would make their cause her own, undergoing great sac- rifices in order tc Besides being ct Mario was also very pious, delight in strengthening the allegiance of souls to the church She would sit with the condemned in their last moments and endeavor to turn {hei st thoughts to Jesus. Whenever a pris- oner excited her pity Marie would labor incessantly to obtain his pardon or at least » commutation of sentence, and she generally succeeded. A fow years ago, bofore sho lost con- trol ot her memory, she was cich in interesting reminiscences of tbe early history of this city. She spoke often of the young American, Gov. Clai- borne, and told how the child wife he brought with him from Tennessee died of the yellow fever shortly after his arrival, and with the dead babe upon her bosom was buried in a cor- ner of the old American cemotery. She spoke sometimes of the strange little man with the wonderful bright eyes, Aaron Burr, who was 80 polite and was so dangerous. She loved to talk of Lafayette, who visited New Orleans over half a century ago. The great Frenchman came to sce her at her house, and kissed her on her fore- head at parting, She remembered the old French general, Humbert, and was one of the few colored people who escorted to the tomb, long since dismantled in the Catholic cemetery, the withered and grizzly remains of the hero of Castel- bar. Probably she knew Father An- toine better than any living in those days—for he the priest, and she the nurse, met at the dying bedside of hundreds of people she to close the faded eyes in death and ho to waft the soul over the river to the realms of eternal joy. All in all Marie Laveau was a most wonderful woman. Doing good for the sake of doing good alone, she ob- tained no reward, oft times meeting with pru{udica and loathing, sho was nevertheless contented and did not flag in her work. She always had the causo of the people at heart, and was with them in'all things. During the late rebellion she proved her loyalty to the south at every opportunity, and froely dispensed help to those who suffored in defense u‘Pflm“lull cause.” Her last days were spont surrounded by sacred pictures and other eviden- ces of religion, Whue God’s sun shine plays around the little tomb where her remains are buried, by tne side of her second husband, and her sons and daughters, Marie Luveau's name will not be forgotten in New Orleans.
