The Columbus Sun sneers at the Columbus and Bainbridge Railroad, and says Columbus will have to pay $1100,000 if it ever wants to see bottom iu tho enterprise. Parian, the new city on Colonel’s Island, opposite Brunswick, hits been laid off into city lots, admirably planned, and will soon claim much o! the public’s attention.

We understand they Lave hud enough of Brazil. Tho Macon Telegraph of Sunday says: Wo regret to learn that Mr. Robert Findlay met with a serious nccideut yesterday which threatens tho loss of his hand. Whilo engaged iu ginning cotton his hand was caught iu the machinery aud considerably mangled before he could extricate himself. The Athqps Banner of Saturday says : A few eveuiugs since Mrs. Marion Johnson, ot Hart county, in attempting to fill a lighted lamp, ignited the kerosene causing an explo sion which burned her so seriously that she died in a few hours. The house took fire also, but was extinguished by a little son of deceas ed—a lad ten years of age. The City Council of Rome has passed the following resolution : Resolved, further, That all cupital and machinery employed in the manufacture of cotton auil woolen goods, or agricultural implamonU, rn the limits of the city, shall be free from city taxation for tbe period of ten years from ttie first of January- next; provided the t ame shall be so employed withiu the space of two years from this date.

Among the Confederate soldiers reported by tho Woodford Weekly, as buried ou the stranger’s lot, ut Versatile-, Kentucky, arc tho following from Georgia : Jack Thomas, Company E, 30th Georgia Regiment, died October 20, 1802; Win.

Company F, 39th Georgia lb giment, died October 11, 18G2; R. W. Grant, Company H, 36th Georgia Regiment, died October 29 1862. A somewhat ludicrous explanation is made in the Columbus Him to Alabamians ‘‘serous the river.” Tho Hun says: “The opinion prevails in all the section from which our Ala bama trade is drawn, that Alabamians who owe debts in Georgia can bo bailed by their creditors if found on tin’s side of the river.— Under apprehension of being worried in this way, many planters have carried their cotton to other markets, and have purchased their supplies there.” As this is not the ease under tho law, tho Hun a’-kn tho frightened creditors to corns on and run in debt again. Will keep them Away. The brutal attack by the Macon and Savan. nah papers upon General Benjamin F. But ler, on account of tho Macon committee soli citing bis attendance at tho November Htato Fair, at Macon, Georgia, will undoubtedly keep away most of tho Republicans who havo received similar invitations.-- Washituflon Chronicle. Just as we expected. Tho fool killer has a large work before him yet. Tho Democratic press do not represent tbo wishes of a majori ty of the people in Georgia. Tho poople de sire to see men of all partios at tho Stat* Fair. They will be cordially received and provided for. Appr . .j It indorsing unreservedly the oourse of GMktral Graft’s Administration, the Symons* Convention has but followed the example ot •very Republican OonveuUon that has yet been held. Not one has evaded the subject or dealt with it ambiguously. They have, IthoutexoepUou applauded its fidelity to prin ciple, its offioiency in the performance of ardu ous duties, and the rigorous economy which distinguishes every department. Their ap proval Is valuable because It is discriminating and manifestly just. It is emphatic because the judgment pronoun cod by tho various Con ventions expresses the known oonvictious of the parly everywhere. Tho standard by whioh the aots of the Ad ministration havo beou tried is high aud un- yioldiug. Under the rule of Geueral Grant's predecessor tho country had been familiarized with corruption and extravuguuco. Fuu was interpreted to mean license to misuse its functions. Tho expenditures wero maintain od at tho war point The deportments were filled by men who employed their opportuni ties to plunder the people. Tho revenues wero uncollected or squandered. Tho Execu tive employed his influence to thwart the ope ration of important laws, un.l to obstruct the roslorutiou of tbe Koulheru Slates. Miimr of ficers, encouraged by displays t f this mis chievous spirit in high places, were notorious ly in leaguo with knaves and combinations of knaves,by whom great interests wero ruthless ly trampled uudor foot. Tho spectacle w scandalous, aud its effects were most disas trous. The advent of Graut to power, and the formation of an Administration on tbe basis prescribed by tho Republican Party, lowed by imnftuliate and largo reforms. The Congressional Committees found ardont co workers iu the business of rotrouchment. The iuflueucos which, under Johnson, had been exerted to perpetuate extravagance, under Grant were arrayed ou tbe side of economy.— The appropriations were cut down at tho in stance and with tho help of the department heads. Aud a promiso was given that the change thus beguu should he pushod forw ard faithfully aud Tho promiso has been fulfilled. Economy is tho order of tho day wherever the authori ty of the Government prevails. The reduc tions contemplated by Congress have in many cases been exceeded. The departments have been purged of idlers; their duties have been systematized,and the cost of their performance diminish 1 "• an extent not yet fiqly appre ciated. Tho “Rings” which wero previously supremo in the Treasury have been broken; the devices which mad roobexy safe and even rcspectablo have been destroyed. Honest men control tho approaches to the strong box. Tho revenues are zealonsly collected; tho dis- bursmeuts are conducted with strict refer ence to tho terms of law. As a mere fiducia ry agent, the Administration has discharged its tmst with an energy and integrity that cannot he too loudly applauded. But there has been more than mero faithful service. By its financial policy the Adminis trillion has brought tho country nearer tho stage at which a reduction of the burden of the debt will be practicable. How this duction may bo best effected, tho Republican party has again and again indicated. The funding of tho debt at a lower rato of terest is tho only raothod compatible v honor, and the process will be possible only when tho public credit shall linvo been greatly improved. Not the least meritorious of tho results achieved by the Administration therefore, the higher standing which it has imparted to tbo national credit iu the money markets of tho world. Opinions differ gard to the excellence of the precise means employed to produce this result, bat the re sult is gratifying and unquestionable. The public credit in higher, stronger, thou when Mr. Boutwell began his task, and by so much tho country is nearer the relief it greatly needs. It remains for Congress, after calm consideration, to revise tho plans of the Secretary, and to provide means lor profiting by the good he has accomplished. Au im proved condition of the debt and a reduction of taxation are the two objects which will test the financial capacity ol the party. They are not irreconcilable. The confidence expressed in tbe conduct ol the Administration has still farther justifica tion. The better position of the South gen erally, and of the three excluded States in par ticular, is largely due to the souud discretion and wise liberality which have distinguished the action of tho President. Ho has combin ed adheronoe to law with a generosity which has disarmed opposition. Order prevails. The authority of the Federal Government Las been upheld. At tho same time, the exercise of a just and conciliatory disposition has brought into play tho better instincts of tbe Southern people. Co-operation with tho Gov ernment has taken the place of resistance to its authority. Groat strides havo been taken toward the completion of reconstruction. Vir ginia is virtually restored now, and thero are good reasons for hoping that Congress, on re assembling, will find Texas aud Mississippi in a similar situation. The fact will be a triumph for tho Administration, and a source of sonablu pride to tho party whoso principles it sustains and whose policy it nobly vindicates. —iV. Y.

Be simple, unaffected; bo honest in your speaking and writing. Never use a long word whon a short one will do. Call a spade a spado, not a well-known oblong instrument of manual industry; let a homo be a homo, not a residence; a place a place, uot a locali ty, and so of the rest. Whoro a abort word w ill do, yon lose by using a long ono. You lose in clearness; you loso in honest expres sion of your meaning, and in the estimation of all uieu who ure competent to judge, you so iu reputation for ability. The only trae way to shine even iu the false world, is to bo modest aud uiiussinning. False hood may bo a very thick crust, but in tbo so of time will flud a place to break through. Klcganco of language may not ho the power of all of un, but simplicity and straight-forwardness aro. Write much as yon would spesk; speak as yon think. If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual; if with your superior,speak no fiucr. Be what you say, and within the rules of prudence. No one ever was a gainer by singularity of words or in pronunciation. The truly wise man will so speak that no ono will obsorve how he speaks.

An Important Discovery. We are iufornicd that Chief Justice Brown, whilo constructing a dam for a fish trap, his farm in Gordon county, a few days since, discovered that tho wholo bluff along tho bank of tbe Coosawattoe river, near tho trap, is r mass of tho finest quality of roofing slate. Tho quarry is six to seven hundred yards wide, and from a half to three quarters of a mile long, nearly in the center of his tract of land, and * - ihably extends downward indefi nitoly. , .Trillions of tons of slate. The solid bluff of m on the cast bank of the river is in some places t\ "nty-five feet high above tho water. Tho location is a most for- tunate one, as it is only seven miles down the river from the quarry to Resaca, on W. A A. Railroad, and the river is navi gable for small boats, which obviates all diffi culty about transportation. This is another important discovery. The undeveloped wealth of Georgia is almost unbounded. Tbo Chief Justico scorns to bo a lucky man. Whatever ho lays his hand to prospers. Homo years since he purchased n poor lot of land near Canton, for a wood lot, npon which copper was afterward discovered, and he sold it for a profit of about twenty-flvo thousand dollars. lie bought an excellent bargain in his fine river farm in Gordon county last Fall, upon which this important discovory is made. Tho quarry is probably worth double as much as tho excellent river lands whore it is located. Proposed Visit of the President to (he Month, Henator Hpenoer and Colonel John G. Htokes, of Alabama, had a lengthy interview with tho Preuidont ou Thursday on the subject of a complcto restoration of law and order in tho Hotith.

Tho Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby finds cam paigning for the “Democracy” a most per- plexiug experience ut the present time. In a recent characteristic letter from Pennsylvania he says: “fho principle trouble is, however, to find out wat Democracy is at this juncter. In Ohio its agin nigger ekality and is in favor uv either payin off the bonds in greenbacks or repudiashuu; in Tennessee its nigger suffrage and nigger ofiis holdin; k in Connecticut its paying tho bonds iu gold, interest and princi ple; iu California its anti Chinese, and in Louisiuua, its Chinese. In Maine our people are ruunin a perhibertory likker law, and everywhere else the’re for free whisky. In Illinois Democracy is free trade; in Pennsyl vania its high protective tarriff, and so on around. In short, its so high mixed that I woodent agree to go from ono county to an other to make speeches, without having first carefully ascertained wat the Democracy uv that pertickeler county believed in. “I got Democrxitic papers from all the States one day, and, by persistent roading uv ern for five hours, I becamo so mixed as to be a promisin candidate for a loonatic asyl- lum.” Ohio Dtmocrsry Gone Up. Ohio is preparing herself lor tho defeat of Democracy this Fall by building a nev natic asylum. From a recent address by General Qnesada to tho Spanish soldiers it wouhi ap pear that tho statement heretofore made that slavery had been abolished iu Cuba was rect. General Quesad», in tho address re ferred to, says : “Hlavery, tho shamo and dis grace of every civilized country, lias disap peared forever, aud the republic, with its glorious liberty, appears to regenerate the people and to relieve it of tho heavy chains of despotism." Incidentals. 1871, but tbo Radicals electod but eleven members while tho Conservatives oleoted twenty-seven. Caleb Dorsey, of Howard county, Maryland, bequeathed $30,000 for tbo relict of destitute persons in tho late slaveholding States. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, has boeu invited to visit Mississippi and Texas this Fall, and will probably do so before the elec tions are held iu those States. The census of Iowa lias been taken eighteen times since 1836. Iu that year, when it was a part of Wisconsin Territory, its population was 10,651. Now it is 1,043,114. The Lynchburg (Va.) News says that the farmers havo generally commenced cutting their tobacco, and, although the yield is small, the quality is much better than was anticipa ted. The Charleston News speaks discouragingly of tho cotton and oorn crops in upper South Carolina. In the lower country the prospect is not so gloomy, ospeo ally as regards cotton. Tho Richmond Whig gives currency to a report that the disabilities of Hon. Alexander Rives will bo removed, and that be will be ap pointed one of tho nino Circuit Judges to bo commissioned at the coming sessiou of Con gress. Rev. Dr. Sears says that $21,600 havo been appropiated from the Peabody Education Fuud to Virginia, $9,400 for publio free schools in four largo cities, $6,200 for normal schools and normal classes, and $G,000 for colored schools. The Knoxville Press A Herald says that du ring last week Senator Brownlow was confined to his bed, though no marked chauge, aside from increased debility, bad tnken place in his condition. Ho confidently expects to ro- sumo his seat iu tho Senate in December. Tbo new Constitution of Virginia provides that Senators elected from districts bearing odd numbers shall vucate their seats at the end of two years, and those from districts with even numbers shall hold office for four years. By this provision tho Radicals and Conservatives will each lose nine members in Tho new University of California begau its career on tho 22d ult. by tbe admission of thirty-six students.
