A BRIEF SKETCH OF ATLANTA.
THE PAST.
In the year 1836 the Legislature of Georgia passed an act authorizing the construction of the Western & Atlantic, or State Railroad, and one year later the spot now known as the Passenger Depot was selected by Hon. Wilson Lumpkin, then Governor of the State, by the advice of the Chief Engineer, Mr. C. F. M. Gar- nett, as the terminus of said Road. This station was called TER- MINUS until December 23, 1843, when it was incorporated under the name of MARTHASVILLE, in compliment to the Governor's daugh- ter, Miss Martha Lumpkin.
MARTHASVILLE soon waxed strong, and having assumed the proportions of a city, was incorporated as such on the 29th of December, 1847, under the name ATLANTA.
Much controversy, and more speculation, has been occasioned by inquiry as to the derivation and definition of the name she now bears, which is conceded to have been suggested by J. Edgar Thomson, at that time Chief Engineer of the Georgia Railroad. Whatever may have been the reason for its adoption, matters very little now; one thing is evident, Atlanta is fast enough to merit the patronizing smiles of even the goddess Atalanta; mighty and ex- tended enough to have received its cognomen from the great At- lantic itself. Only a few short years agone and the wild Indian roamed in unrestrained freedom through vast forests, where now stand giant monuments of industry and civilization. Not a gener- ation has passed since his shrill whoop, which reverberated through these same woods, startling the lone traveler from his revelry, has given place to the more useful, but scarcely less thrilling, whistle of the iron horse.
Then the undaunted huntsman and warrior woo'd his sun- browned maid beneath the deep, silent immensity of shade, and caught the beautiful echoes of the spirit land from the wind itself. Now, within the cushioned recesses of gorgeous palaces the tu- tored gentleman finds cultivated ears to receive his more artistic 2

Shortly after the establishment of the " Model Job Office," Mr. Ware disposed of his office to William Kay, then & bookseller and stationer on Whitehall street, who started a paper called the "Atlanta Examiner," with Dr. Ramsay and B. R. Daniel 18 HANLEITER'S ATLANTA CITY DIRECTORY. In the year 1845 the Georgia Railroad was completed to this point, and formed a junction with the State Road. In 1848 the Macon & Western Railroad was completed. The completion of these Roads, furnishing as they do a key to the traffic and travel of the North, South, East and West portions of the Southern and Middle States, gave to Atlanta an impetus of prosperity, and has principally made her the great GATE CITY that she is. as editors. Previous to this time there was no bindery or ruling machine in Atlanta, (such work being sent to Macon or Augusta.) Mr. Kay carried on an extensive business as publisher, &c., for some time, but finally failed, and shortly afterwards died. The "Examiner" was next the property of Hon. O. A. Lochrane, who remained its owner, if we mistake not, until the end of its career. In the year 1847 there were four newspapers published here, viz: the "Democrat," by Dr. William Henry Fernerden; "The Enterprise," by Royal & Yarborough; "The Luminary," by Clapp, and the "Southern Miscellany" by C. R. Hanleiter. The latter was removed from Madison, Georgia, and established at At- lanta in August of that year. The three former ceased to exist in less than a year, and the publication of the latter was continued until the fall of 1849, when the proprietor sold his material and presses to Messrs. I. O. McDaniel, J. Norcross, B. F. Bomar and Z. A. Rice, who established the present "Intelligencer," with Dr. Joseph Baker as editor. A few months afterwards the "Intelli- gencer" was purchased by Messrs. Ruggles & Bridwell (Johnson Bridwell, who was murdered a short while since, near the suburbs of the city,) who continued its publication for a few years, then sold out to Messrs. Gaulding, Logan, Whitaker & Co., and it was published by these last under the editorial management of A. A. Gaulding and V. A. Gaskill for some time, when it afterwards fell under the sole ownership and control of its present proprietor, Judge Jared I. Whitaker. During the winter of 1847-8, C. R. Han- leiter commenced the publication of a small tri-weekly, entitled the "Tri-weekly Miscellany," which breathed three mortal months, and then collapsed, having subsisted during that period upon only three cash paying subscribers and about six dollars advertising patronage. Its motto was "Go-a-head," but it was ahead of the times, and wouldn't go any longer alone. In 1851 Col. Hanleiter published, in connection with Gen. E. R. Mills, a handsome campaign paper, called "The Whig Reveille," in support of Gen. Winfield Scott for the Presidency, and in the same year Rev. Russell Reneau commenced the publication of the "Atlanta Republican," and afterwards sold it to Dr. James R. Smith, who in turn sold to Mr. Ware and Messrs. F. M. & A. M. Eddleman, who changed its name to that of the "Discipline and Republican." This office was finally purchased by Col. Hanleiter, and, with new material, he commenced, in 1857, the publication of the daily, weekly and tri-weekly " National American," which, after the secession of Georgia, was changed to the "Gate City Guar- dian," and then to the "Southern Confederacy "-the latter name used by permission of Dr. J. P. Hambleton, who had previously published a daily and weekly by that title. Shortly after the establishment of the " American," Col. George W. Adair was admitted to a partnership in the paper, and at the beginning of the war the remaining interest was sold to J. Henley Smith, Esq. These gentlemen continued its publication until near the close of the war. In 1858 Col. Hanleiter, Dr. W. T. C. Campbell and Judge Samuel Lawrence published for some months the " Masonic Signet and Journal," and sold it to James McPher- son, Esq., who, finding it meagerly supported, wisely discontinued it. In 1860 the "Baptist Banner " was removed from Rome, Ga., to Atlanta. It was edited by Drs. J. M. Wood and H. C. Hornady, and published by Wood, Hanlieter, Rice & Co. About the year 1850 Dr. Samuel Brewer started a religious paper, entitled the "Olive Branch," but its publication soon ceased, for want of pa- tronage. In 1867 John H. Seals removed the "Temperance Cru- sader " from Penfield to Atlanta, and in a year or two afterwards published the "Daily Locomotive," which continued until some time during the war. In 185- Drs. J. G. & W. F. Westmoreland commenced the publication of the "Atlanta Medical Journal," which was continued up to 1866, and was a useful auxiliary to the "Atlanta Medical College." Another medical publication was commenced April, 1859, called " The Hygienic and Medical Jour- nal," by Drs. Taliaferro & Thomas, but only lived through one In 1851 C. R. Hanleiter selected the material and established (for. A. G. Ware) the first job-printing office ever in Atlanta; and in 1852 established for himself the "Model Job Office," which last had an extensive patronage, and for a while the whole work was carried on by the proprietor, assisted by Dr. Bateman and the devil (the writer.) It was from this office that C. H. C. Willing- ham issued his " Knight of Jericho," the first temperance paper ever published in Atlanta. This paper attained a subscription list of one or two thousand, and, after a manful fight, followed the way of all things earthly, having, ere its demise, however, developed those forcible and striking traits of editorialship which has since JOHN T.

Fulton Lodge, No. 216, (Masonic) was first organized in 1850, or 51, Rees H. Lin, W. M., but, in consequence of objections offered by Atlanta Lodge, No. 59, the Grand Lodge refused to issue charter, and it was suspended until October, 1857, when it was revived, with Luther J.

The first brick building- except Dr. Thompson's Atlanta Hotel and the old State shop- erected in the city, were the three tene- ments on the east side of Whitehall, corner Hunter; on the corner, by I. O. McDaniel; in the middle, by William Herring; and the northern one, by a gentleman from Henry county, Ga. The first iron-front building was situated about No. 31 or 33 Whitehall street, and erected by Messrs. Beach & Root, in 1858. The building put up quickest in Atlanta was the three-story Central Lodge, No. 28, I. O. O. F., was organized October 7, 1848, with D. N. Austin as N. G. The charter members were Wm. Barnes, W. B.

Caleb C. Whaley. It was 65 feet long, by 30 feet wide, built in 1859, of brick, roofed with tin, plastered, sup- plied with gas fixtures, and occupied, in the almost incredible space of 21 days ; besides, during this time it rained a great deal, and the old wooden building had to be torn down and removed. A Tent of Rechabites was organized about 1851, with Rev. Lewis Lawshe as S .; and a Lodge of Knights of Jericho, C. R. Hanleiter, W. C. One or two Lodges of Sons and Cadets of Temperance were in operation here as early as 1847. The first masonry work-a chimney for Mr. Kile, adjoining Washington Hall lot-was put up by our fellow-citizen, T. G. W. Crussel; and the first well was dug on the same lot, and walled two feet thick. This well is still in use, and affords excellent water. Previous to the digging of this well, water was obtained from springs, especially the one within the cistern opposite the Atlanta National Bank. In 1847-8 choice of lots on Whitehall street, south of Hunter, were offered at fifty dollars; elsewhere, on same side of Railroad, at from twenty-five to fifty dollars, on time.
