Cotton .ras not suffering, but upland com ind gardens were badly in need of it. If ft should oontinne seasonable for a short time the com crop in this coun ty promises to be the largest since the war. Cotton is no, generally as for ward as it was last year, but where it has been well cultivated looks very promising. From Um Augusta CointituUoaaliet, 71k. We are informed by CoL 8. K. Johnson, the able and energetic Su- perintendent of the Georgia Railroad, that one hundred and twenty bales of cotton were shipped l'rom Nashville on last Thursday night to New York, by way of the Charleston line, which includes the \Y> stem and At lantic and the Georgia Railroads. This is the first instance of the kind that has occurred since the war, all freights for New York having Wu heretofore sent by the opposite route. The management of the Georgia Kail load is equal to that of any other road in the United States, as its prosperity and increasing business will attest, and is using every means in its rower to increase the freights aud enuunoe the interests of the roud.

The hunk at this point has naturally the right'elevation and inclination for making a flight of eight or ten steps, •vith n rise of one foot each, and it •vill cost comparatively but a small amount of money to complete tho work.
