THE OMAHA DAILY BEE' WEDNESDAY JUNE 22 1881. THE OLD CAMP GROUND. The Progress of the South by - One Who Has Been Absent Seventeen Years , Industries That Have Boon Completed Within the Post Ton Years. Corre'pondence Cincinnati GMctlce. BuiiKiKi'OUT , Ala. , After 17 yoais I nm visiting the old camp-ground. Seventeen years ngo I stood on these red hills mid intiiniclatcd the solid South , and to-day 1 cannot find tlio "historic spot. " Despite the heat 1 walked nil day among the licntls of the Tcnncssco and ] ) ointH of the mountains , hut .all is changed. On the ridge where our camp stood , where Ihero was then not n shrub , the timber is now forty fcot high and barely passable to ft scared dog. J5o- low it the slopes , then worked to mud or dust by tramping regiments or army guiles , nro now giecn with springing corn , while and red with clover tops , or beautiful with grass nnd flowers. But far beyond are the name blue mountains , the Tennessee sparkles even more beautifully than it did , nnd ever nnd nroiind the old camp-ground is the same tabluo sky nnd soft air. Till ! VAM.HV PKOIT.K Are greatly changed , however. Up what was then n wild gorge now runs A railroad ; land near hero is held at $50 an acre ; coal mines mid iron fur naces are not far away , and several now nnd neat villages adorn the vi cinity. Hero I did my last service ; hcnco , in September , 18(51,1 ( departed - od for Indianapolis , where I gladly "shucked" the uniform , took a re ceipt for my musket , drew my pay , nnd left the work of saqing the Union to "more able men. " And of nil the citizens I know hereabout in thai long mnnmor I can find but ono , nnd ho Is 70 years old , and hai lately married n young wifol lint ho confidontiallv admits that ho is not as rebellious as ho as. I began this letter hind end first , so I will .take things in order of our progress , go back to the 8KI.MA , UOMK AND PAI.TOM ! IIAIUIOAD , On which wo found nine iron furna ces , all put U ] ) within ton years. Tak ing them in reverse order that is , from Ilomo southward they are : 1. The llidgo Vnlloy , Georgiawhich makes car-wheel iron , warm blast. 2. The j-Ktiia , Georgia ; car-whool iron , cold blast. 3. Tecumseh , Alabama ; iron.Vil - Jard Warner's furnace , previously de scribed. 4. Tlio Stonewall , Alabama ; hot blast. G. Hock Run , Alabama ; warm blast ; turns out car-wheel iron. Belongs to John M. Boss of Ft. Woyno , Ind. C. The two furnaces nt Woodstock , Alabama ; warm blast ; turn out car- wheel iron. 7. The Alabama furnace ; warm blast , car-wheel iron. ' 8. The Shelby furnaces ; warm bloat , car-whool iion. 9. Tlio Brassfiold. There nro two furnaces , of which one has just blowed in ; the other has been idlosomo time , and wo could not learn that anything like n revival was in progress with it. With these , the Birmingham works , nnd some others , Alabama lias in creased her iron production 1)00 ) per cent , in ton years. Her growth has licoii steady , not too rapid , nnd lias never had a setback since it fairly ntartod in 1870. From Birmingham abound by Montgomery , Atlanta and western North Carolina , the central south is now filled with the idea that Lor redemption is to bp by manufac turing , I'nd her motto is , "Less cotton and a more diversified industry. " Among other fuanacos in Alabama which wo could not visit I hoard most frequent mention of the Ilo\md Mountain furnace on the Coosa , liow in active operation. Abe the Corn wall , just now idle , and the Edwards furnace on the A. G. S. railroad a coke burner , turning out first-class foundry and mill iron. At OXMOHK , on the S. & N. railroad , Hix miles south of Birmingham. Many Cincin nati mon are interested , nnd 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 as I looked on the roaring chim neys and lively workers from the car window I found it difficult to realize that I was in what wo have so long considered the old , slow , sleepy state of Alabama. The question of a true magnetic iron ore in sufficient amount in Ala bama is furiously discussed. Geiu W. Warner says : "Many specimens to been found , but wo am not say ot whether there is enough to amount to Anything. " Mr. Debardlobon , of the great Pr.itt mine , near Birmingham , insists that it can be had in HO quantities , and Mr. T. T. Hillumii , of tlio Alice furnace , Birmingham , agrees with Gen. Warner. Mr. llillman , by the way , bears an historic name in the iron lino. His father waa the original of the firm of heU. Hillman & fi ons , of the Ten- noBsce rolling works , which were located , however , just over the line in Kentucky , on tke Cumberland river. They made the noted "Hill- man boiler iron , " familiar to all river and iron men from Pittsburg to Now Orleans. Established there in 1812 , the Hillmnns ran the concern till 1878 , when it passed to ether hands , nnd ono of the sons came to Birmingham. Mr. William Vann claims to have developed - veloped a scam of thu true magnectio ore near Trassvillo , on the Alabama Southern ; and Mr. Henry Doppy , of Xiohigh Gap , Pa. , has purchased ex tensively of the reported seam. Mean while the nix BcsBomcr steel com panies of this country hold fast mto their monopoly in the Thomas & Gil- Christ patent and the is iilgi , question agi tated whether ono of them will not locate in Alabama. Birmingham thinks BO , but I don't. To sum up Alabama contains 32- 462,080 acres , of which 20,030,902 are still in virgin forest ! In ether wordsin 1880 Bovcn-tentlis of all the State was in timber. So it is no old worn out country. The railroad com- liinatiim now gives railroad faro ; 'Liverpool to TuBcaloosa , $30 ; Now York to TuBcaloosa , gl'J.

Well , yoii woultl not Imvo thought so if you had mot them in battle or no ted the marches ' nnd { triratioiiR they endured in' 18(51-55. ( One-fifth of Alnbanin's onliro wliito jiopulntion Borrod in the confederate nnny , nnd the Stnto came out of the war with 10,000 amiaro miles of desolation nnd G0,000 widows. At Chicknmaitga the Alabama rcginionla left two.fifths of their number dead or wounded , nnd nt Franklin nearly two-thirds of their romtmnU stood without ilinchinc un til they wore gliot down. In ono case tlirco rogimentfl wore consolidated in ono after Chickaniruiga , and * of the now on only one-third ever nppcarcd in ranks nfter the charyo nt Franklin , And nro not these our countrymen who could so bnrv'oly fight and die for wlmt they believed the right ? I clnini them one and nil for mine. INTO neouotA JJy the S. , 11. iV U. road , nnd then n two day's halt nt Ilomo , which is seton on seven lulls , at the junction of the OostotmulanndEtownhniid fora small nlnco.oxnctly flits the celebrated old woman's description of Pittsbnrg : "In the forks of the two is Homo , n dirty place , bul there is n heap of bus- incsi done tliero. " And they Rccmcd to drive it so as to show us their best for the editorial association of Geor gia met there during our stay , nnd the city nmused them with n boat race on thu Oostcnnula , n business parade and ether pisplnys. Tlio draymen got up a very creditable display. Nearly nil of thoin wore colored , and to the lloo- Hior eye it looked n little odd to see black marshals dashing about on blood ed horses , black musicians , a wagon full of colored ladies in character dress , and hero nnd there n white drayman like n spot on the procession. The banners stated that Ilomo had bought nnd worked or shipped 108- 000 bales of cotton this commercial ycnr. The city also boasts of having the best water works in the southland is generally a regular metropolis of Georgia Yankees. I was much pleased with the general' appearance of the Georgia editors , whoso convention I attended for ono clay , nnd remarked thnt , unlike our Indiana editors , they attended to business before they did their junketing. Thence wo went to ATLANTA And abode three days finding the people considerably excited ever the great cotton exposition , which is to come oil' in October. Its scope has been greatly enlarged , until it is to bean an exposition of everything which interests the south. Mr. II. L. Kimball , who has charge of the exposition building and gener al arrangements , in n decided success. Ho is a native of Maine ) one ot BIX brothers , all of whom are original and progressive. II. I. was once Demo cratic candidate for governor of Maine , but in the south in war time ho be come a llepublican. Ho carried things with such a high hand during recon struction times thnt the old south par ty invited him to leave as soon as they got * the power. Not long afterward Atlanta ! seen thnt she needed just such a man nnd invited him back. He came and made several enterprises successful f"l and ran for mayor , lacking but fifty ' votes of an election. AVhon the great opera houno ho was interested in failed to pay , ho said he would make it pay by using it for the Georgia state house. They laughed nt him , but all' tin name ho brought the capital of Georgia to Atlanta , and the ofllccs nre now in the old opera house. The revolution in n small way was so quiet ly nnd quickly done thnt the American people have scarcely found it out , and most of the common schools yet teach that Milledgeville is the capital \Vhon the cotton exposition was pro jected the unanimous voice was for Kimball to manage it. In 1870 , March 12 , ho broke ground for the Kimball hotel , and on the 19Hi of October it was ready for guests. Un fortunately there are § 050,000 in it , on which dividends nro scarce. And so it is with most of his great works- he makes them succeed , nnd they help the city , but he gains no lucre thereby. His plan for the exposition buildings is for a series of wooden structures , in the style of movable cotton mills , and to be used as such afterwards , ' There will bo n special department for railroads , in which they nro ex- pcctod to display specimens of all minerals along their linos.1 Atlanta talks'familiarly of her 45- , 000 people , nnd I judge she has about that many. She is in the hill country , 01 rather , where the hill , country.bo- gins to yield to the level lands of the far south , nnd is to bo the commercial metropolis of three states. Thence wo journey leisurely to Chntlnnooga , of which moro anon. HAMBON. DEATH OF MARIE LAVEAU A Woman With a Wonderful HI. tory , Almoit a Century Old , Carried to the Tomb Yesterday Evening. New Orleani I'lrsjune. Thosi ) who have passed by the quaint old house on St. Ann , between Kampart and Burgundy streets , with the high , fr.vil-loolcing fence in front ever which n true or two is visible , have , till within the last few years noticed through the open gateway a i docropid old lady with snow-white hair , nnd a muileof peace nnd contentment - ment lighting up her golden features. , For a few years past she has boon missed from her accustomed i lace , The fuoblo old lady lay upon her bed 1 , with her daughter nnd grandchildren around her ministering to her wants. On Wednesday the invalid sank into the sleep which knows no waking. Thosu whom she had befrioii'lod crowded into the little room where she was in order to obtain a last look nt the features , smiling even in death 1 , of her who had boon so kind to thorn , At 5 o'clock yesterday evening ! } Marie Kivoau was buried in her family tomb in St. Louis cemetery No. 1. Her remains were followed to hole grave by a largo concourse of people , the must prominent and the moat humble joining in paying their last respects to the dead. Father Mignot conducted the funeral services. Marie Laveau was born ninety- eight years ago. Her father was i a rich planter , who was prominent in all public affairs , and served in the legislature of this state. Her mother was Marguerite Henry , andhorgrand- idAll mother was Marguerite Somard. All wore beautiful v onion of color. The gift of boautv was hereditary in the family , and Marie inherited tt in the -.mi , fullest degree. When slio was twenty- five years old slio WAS led to the nlfcir by Jacques 1'nris , a cirpeiiter. This irtnrrinf0 took plnco nt the St. Louis cathedral , 1'oro Aiitoine , Of iho be * loved incinory , conducting the service and Mr. Maznrcau , tlio famous lawyer , a6ting as witness. A year afterwards Mr. Paris disappeared , and no ono knows to this day what bccatno of him. After waiting a year for his re turn she married Captain Christopho Olnpion , The latter was nlso very prominent tliero , and served with dis tinction in the battalion of men of Sftn Domingo , under D'Aqnin , with Jackson in the war of 1815. Fifteen children wcro the result of their inarria o. Only ono of these is now alivo. Oapl. Ol.ipion died great ly regretted on the 25th of Juno , ' 1855. Five years afterward Marie Laveau became ill , and lias been sick ever since , her indisposition becoming more pronounced and painful within the last ten years. Ik-sides being very beautiful , Marie was also very wise. She wns skilful in the practice of medicine and was acquainted with the valuable healing qualities of indigenous herbs. Slio was very miccessful an a nurse , wonderful stories being told of her exploits at Iho sick-bed. In yellow fever and cholera epidemics she was alw.iyn called upon to nursu the melt , and always responded piomntly. Her skill and'knowledgo earned her the friendship and approbation of those sulliciently cultivated , but the ignor ant attributed her success to unnat ural means and held her in constant dread. Notably in 1853 n committee of gentlemen , appointed ntn mass meet ing hold nt Globe hall , waited on Marie and requested her on behalf of the people to minister to the fovor- stricken. She wont out nnd fought thu pestilence whoru it was the thick est , nnd many nlivo to-day owe their salvation to her devotion. Not only to the sick was Mary La- veau a blessing. To help a follow- creature in distress she considered a priceless privilege. She wns born in the house where she died. Her mother lived and died there before her. The unassuming cottage has stood for a century and n half. It was built by the first French settlers of adobe , and jiot n brick was used in its construction. When it was erected it was considered the hand somest building in the neighborhood. Rampart street wns not then in existence - tonco , being the skirt of a wilderness , and latterly a line of entrenchment. Notwithstanding the decay of her little mansion , Marie made the sh'ht of it pleasant to the unfortunate. At nny time of night or day anyone was welcome to food and shelter. Those in trouble had but to come to her nnd she would make their cause her own , undergoing great sac rifices in order to nasutt tliem. Besides being charic.tblo , M.irio waa also very pious , nnd took delight in strengthening the allegiance of wouU to the church Shu would nit with the condemned in their lust moments and endeavor to turn ( heir last thoughts to Jeans. Whenever a pris oner excited her pity Marie would labor incessantly to obtain his pardoner or at least a commutation of sentence , uwl she generally succeeded. A few years ago , before she lost con trol ot her memory , nho was rich in interesting reminiscences of tbo early history of this city. She spoke often of the young American , Gov. Claiborne - berne , nnd told how the child wife ho 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 n cor ner of the old American cemetery. She spoke sometimes of the strange little man with the wonderful bright eyes , Aaron Burr , who wan so polite , and was so dangerous. She loved to talk of Lafayette , who visited Now Orleans over half n century ago. The great Frenchman came to see her nt her house , and kissed her on her fore head at parting , She remembered the old French general , Humbert , nnd wnu one of thu few colored people who escorted to the tomb , long since dismantled in the Catholic cemetery , the withered nnd griz/.ly remains of the hero of Castol- bar. Probably she know Father Antoine - toino bettor than any living in these days for ho Iho priest , and she the nurse , met at the dying bedside of hundreds of people who to close the faded eyes in death and ho to waft the soul over the river to the realms of eternal joy. All in nil Marie Lavoau was n most wonderful woman. Doing good for ' the sake of doing good alone , BIO ob tained no reward , oft times mooting ' with prejudice and loathing , she waa nevertheless contented nnd did not flag in her work , She always had tint ( cause of the people at heart , and was with them in'all things. During the Into rebellion she proved her loyalty to the south at every opportunity , ido freely dispensed help to those who , suffered in defense of the "lout cause. " Her last days wore spout surrounded by sacred pictures and other eviden ces of religion , Wlino God'u sun shine plays around the little tomb where'her remains are buried , by tno side of her second husband , and nor sons and daughters. Marie Luvcan's name will not bo forgotten in Now Orleans. DYING BY INCHES. Very often wo BOO a person suffer ing from ROIIIO form of kidney com - plaint and in gr.uhtally dying 11y inchuH.
