WS- The Savannah News says: “At lanta houses are still unnumbered. ” It might have added, if building continues a fey years longer as it has for tho past five years, the houses will be numberless. iB- Tbe Courier-Journal says, “We hold in our haud the flag-staff of tbe National Democracy.” That may be (rye, but it has nailed tbe Radical Sag to tbe stall, and is trying to conceal its identity with the brazen words—“New Departure.” MS. The Courier-Journal says : “Mr. Stephens writes three columns about tbe Courier-Journal when ns many sentences should hove sufficed. ” No doubt the C.-J. thinks so, and it would have been all tho better pleased with itself if even tbe sentences had been omitted. A9* The Macon Telegraph of Saturday says: The Atlanta Fair, according to adver tisement, wfll open October 16th—one week before the State Fair at Maoon.— They all say they will beat tbe Macon State Fair to death, bat we will wager a ginger-cake they don’t However, when tbe pride of Atlanta is aroused they ore bound to do something handsome. Atlanta has determined to “do some thing handsome” in tbe way of a Fair; bat bless your soul, Madame Telegraph, tbe people up here have not set out “to beat the Maoon State Fair to death.” They aim to have a good Fair and, fur ther, their inflexible purpose is to do all in their power to help make tho State Fair a success, They will want Macon’s assistance next year, and “in order to se cure that” will do the beat they can for Macon this year. Thera can be no ri valry in this matter. The State Fair is a common interest with all the people of the State, and they who would try to beat it are doing themselves an injury. BOOK NOTICES. Decidedly one of tho most charming stories that has appeared in a long while is Gideon's Rock, by Katharine Sanders The book is said to have hod the almost unprecedented sole of one hundred thou sand copies, in six months, in England, where it first appeared. It is the story of life among ruggod, lawless smug glers, purporting to hsvo boon written some sixty years ago. The book is ad mirably written. Its style is terse and strong—a little nervous, but vivid enough to lure tbe reader on without weariness. Its description of character, its concep tion of passion—especially of tbo pas sion of lovo mid its hideous shadow, jealousy—are ull very line, and fresh and original. Tbo entiro story is one of thrilling interest from beginuing to end. It is original in character and incident, original in style, full of pleasing and start ling surprises, abounds in bravo and good acts, together with somo bad ones; por trays crime mid its expiation through repentance and good works; is, withal, a book that can be commended as one that may bo read and re-read with pleasure, if not with profit. Tho volume is veiy handsomely re-printed, in this country,by J. B. Lippincatt St Co., of Philadelphia, and fa for sale by Messrs. Phillips A Crew of this city. GEORUIA NEWS. COLUMBUS. The Sun of Friday “rises to explain" the cotton question, in the following words: Last year Columbus received 76,007 boles. This realized, averaging it at 13c per ponnd—84,875,462. In 1871-2 we will most probably receive 56,000 bales. The indioatioDS are it will average 18c. and may go beyond it. Many speak of 26c. as tbe average, and it may be reach ed if the United States crop is not under estimated. We take a figure which fa certain—18c. per pound or 890 per bale. Our 55,000 bales will realize 84,960,000 or about $80,000 more than last year, though the crop be 20,000 balea less. If we get 20o. per pound, or 8100 a halo, tho total realized tbe present cotton year will be 85,560,000; and if wc should reach 25o. 86,875,000 will lie tbe amount to be distributed, or near 82,000,000 more tlian last year. With this amount, trade will nourish and a change for the better come over every branch of business. The South received very little money comparatively for her tremendous crop of last year. Tbe yield was 4,347,000 hales, and the planters received for it (13c. per ponnd) $271,000,000. In 1869- 70, 1,200,000 bales less were produced. Tbe crop was 8,114,000 bales, which real ized to the planters 8299,000,000, $20,- 000 more than tbe succeeding year, not withstanding tbo enormous increase in yield. This should teach fanners a les son by which money can tie made. A large crop yields less money than a small one, and you can’t fool you neighbor easily. If you plant largely, so will be. If every farmer would raise bis own pro visions and then plant tbe remainder of bis land in cotton, the South would be in a few years the most prosperous country on the globe. The Sun of Saturday has tbe following items : In tbe fast four days the freight bills of Columbus on New York goods have amounted to 85,400. Tbe right of way lias lieou given, free of charge, to the North and South Hoad along its entiro length through Harris. Several Italians near here are engaged in the manufacture of wine from differ ent varieties of European grapes. One tells us ho expects to get one hundred and forty barrels from his vineyard; another two hundred and fifty. We understand that while digging a well in tbe yard of tbe oil factory, a cha lybeate spring, of considerable volume and very strongly marked mineral prop erties, was discovered. Tbe grounds have been covered with old iron of tbe foundries that have been there so long, that everything in the shape of a liquid should huvo its characteristics. DAWSON. The Journal of the 14th has the fol- ing items: In oomrnon with the citizens of Daw- sou and surrounding country, we regret the contemplated movo of Hon. C. B. Wootten to Macon. The dwelling of Mr. J. W. Edwards, of Chicasawhatchie, was burned on tho night of tile 8th. This is a heavy lo se of Mr. Edwards, but wo are glad to know bo is surrounded by neighbors vlioki how to sympathize with a friend in d : tress. ALBANY. The following items are from the Newt of the 15th: Tho health of the city is remarkably good. Tho rains continue, and the country is flooded with water. The A & G. Railroad has recovered from the storm washes, and the trains now come in on schudlo time, Several squads of hands have passed through on their way to work on the Southwestern Railroad extension. The storm aud disasters have delayed work on the B. St A. R. It., and it will be some days before the ears will run into tho city. Col. Clias. L. Schlatter, Chief Engi neer B. & A. aud B., C.

The Dispatch of the 14th recounts the “thrilling adventure" of an Atlanta man, as follows; Notwithstanding the extraordinary rains of last week, and the swollen streams on his route, Mr. Ephraim Maun left early Thursday morning as usual with tbe Irwinville mail Mr. Daniel, of At lanta having reached here on bis way to Wilcox, where a business appointment awaited bim, engaged a seat in tbe buggy of Mr. Mann. They arrived at Big Creek, and although seeing the stream very largo and running far this side of tbo bridge, they drove iu with tbe expectation of reaching the bridge, when crossing could be effected in safety. Ere they had pro ceeded far, tho horse began Bwimming, and tbe water run over tho buggy. This state of affairs was not very desirable, and Mr. Maun was compelled to jump into the creek and cut tho hurncss from his horse. By this timo tho current hail drifted the buggy down somo distance, and nearing a largo willow tree, Mr. Daniel seized and threw the lwg of mail matter among its boughs. All this time Mr. Mann was straggling to save his horse, which he did after much risk and exertion. Mr. Daniel climbed into the top of tho willow tree and there remained till late in the evening. Mr. Mann swam out and come to town after a tmtteaii, which ho hauled to tho creek, aud thus rescued Mr. Daniel and tho mail, some of tho latter being much damaged. AUGUSTA. wished it From this it would appear that tbe mystery which has so long en veloped the disappearance of Gould will soon bo satisfactorily cleared np.

Our city was visited ou Thursduy afteruoon and evening by two of tbe severest rain storms that have been ex perienced iu this section for maDy days. Yards, streets and roads were flooded, and in many places badly washed. BUENA VISTA. A letter from Hon. B. B. Hinton, pub lished iu the Americas Republican, says the colored pcoplo of Buena Vista have hold a meeting in the interest of the Newnau auil Ainericus Railroad, and subscribed $3,000. They propose to work out tbe number of shares subscrib ed, demanding oue-bolf of their daily wages in cosh, tho remaining half to be as a payment of their stock; aud in this way they propose to continue to work un til the number of sliares subscribed be fully paid into the company. MACON. Tbe Telegraph of Saturday lias the following : Those who came in on the different Railroads yesterday, report the creeks in Central and Southwestern Georgia again overflowed. Tbe river is still rising at this point. It rained steadily nearly all of last night. Tbo report of the Comptroller-General Aiutllatuotis. a. Tsnowan, Proprietor Excsiaior Plastering Work*, P.

TRUSTEES I In the subjoined facts and figures tbe Chronicle and Sentinel makes a good show ing of what “ono cotton factory will do:” In order to give our citizens somo idea of tho valuo of manufacturing interests, we givo below some figures which will tend to show the amount of money which tho Augusta Factory Company Inis dis bursed hero in tho past six years—since the war. Wo will premise by slating that the company is working upon a capital of only six hundred thousand dol lars. In round numbers it lias puid out since tho war for Laborers’ wages $1,783,(Kill Dividends 729,000 Taxes 257,000 Incidental Expenses 153,000 Repairs 55,000 82,968,000 Thus, iu round numbers, it will bo seen that this company has expended three millions of dollars in six years, or an av erage of half million per tnuium. Of these three million there was expended directly in Augnsta: Operatives’ wages $1,781,000 Dividends .................. 720,000 Taxes (munioipal) 49,000 Repairs 55,000 $2,607,000 Only a small amount of tho stock is held oat of the city. Over two millions and a half of dollars have found their way directly into the pockets of our t-iti- zons from tbis factory in six years, be sides tbe benefits derived from increase of population, etc. The factory has paid out here annually more moucy than it requires to support the entire municipal government and pay off interest on the city bonds. Putting our I regulation at 16,000—tho census figures—the factory has declared since tho war a cosh divi dend of one hundred and sixty-two dollar to each iu habitant. SAVAKNAAH. The Advertiser of tbo 15th has tho fol lowing interesting item in its Watliing- ington telegraphic correspondence A gentleman named Wigfall, formerly of Virginia, but who is now a resident of Brooklyn, owns a handsome residence in Clinton avenue, in that city, valued at 875,000 cash. He says that within the past ten days a prominent lawyer of Georgia proposed to him to buy this property, offering in payment a certified claim against a certain railroad in Geor gia forTegal feea amounting to an hun dred thousand dollars, stating that all ho had to do was to present the claim and get the money. Wigfall refused to give tho name of the lawyer as ho hail boon requested to treat the matter confiden tially. It is suspected that this claim is against the State road and certified toby tbe commissioners reoently appointed by Bullock to settle tbo claims against that road. The News of tho 16th announces the death of CapL Bryan Couuor. Messrs. Luddeu & Bates willeomuieiice the publication of the Southern Musical Journal—a sixteen page monthly—on tlie first of October. Tbo News of SaturJay hat tbe follow ing : Tbe last issue of tbo Palatku (Florida) Uerald contains an extraordinary rumor to the effect tbut J. II. Gould, the recent revenue eollcojjr, whoso alleged defalca tion created such a stir iu this city, was foully dealt with by a party whom he had employed to pilot bim over the Big Cypress in Florida. While in Orange oounty recently the editor of the Herat,l learned from a respectable source that Gould, who figured some lime ago as a revenue ’defaulter in Havaunab, to tho amount of thirty or forty thousand dol lars, is no more. The party who piloted him over the Big Cypress returned with liia gold watch and horse, which be said Gould bad no further use for. This par ty is suspected of having murdered Gould for his money. He was never heard from beyond the Big Cypress. This same party, it is said, lias been spending money freely aud foolishly. Tbe gentle man to whom tbu editor of tbe Herald is indebted fur tho ulsivo information, aoiii that Gould was dead, and that he would give the family of tbe deceased satisfac tory information on tho subject if they a greater number of acres of wild lands than any other county in the State, bei 095,130 acres. Iu the value of improv lauds, Bibb ranks third best in the Stato $10.53 per acre. Some murderously inclinod villiuu lias made two unsuccersful attempts, recently, to throw passenger trains off the track of the Macon and Western Railrod, by placing obstructions upon it. If the iiend is caught at it wo hope a hemp halter will bo convenient to strangle liim on the spot Itefcrring to the Central Railroad the Telegraph says: Mr. William Rogers, Superintendent of tho Central Railroad, has been in Cieat Britain for somo timo, including Scotlaud and Ido of Man, purchasing steel rails for liis road, tho first installment of which arrived recently at Savannah, on the steamer “Onward.” Mr. R. will return next week. Mr. Wadloy, President of the road, is going to crown his reign with a mammoth depot in this city, on tho site of the old court house, at tho foot of Mulberry street. Farties who havo soon tho design of tho building say it will oclipso anyth ing of tho kind South of Mason and Dixon’s lino. It is also said that tho Central Railroad Company will, iu course of timo, build all of their own engines hero, and that Macon will gain a valuable accession of skilled mechanics thereby. The amount of money they will distribute hero will bo enormous, and go far toward building up the city aud its trade. OVB SPECIAL KNIOHTS TEBf* PL All CORK ES PON D E N C E. J. C.

Although somo apprehension fa felt ns to tho ulti mate fate of the truant, yet tho hope of a pleasant reunion at the point of desti nation is cherished as a responsible rep resentative in the form of a Railroad check travels tbis route. We were unfortunately retarded in onr journey to Chattanooga, by the persist ent overheating of tho locomotive “jour nal,” which required frequent stoppages of the train and tbe application of oold water to cool it. Such things occur oc casionally ou all railroads, and no foresight oan prevent them. The result was a failure to connect at Chattanooga, but by the accommodating spirit and efforts of E. W.
