A RAILROAD TO ELBERTON. A Hatter ot Special Intrrrat to lk« Pao- pie of Atlanta and ta ths Alr-Llne It allroad. We i vitt -poci&l attention to the coin- muuicaUon of “Elbort' to-day. The peoplo of Atlanta Stockholders of tbe Air-line Railroad, it nun* to us, should be deeply inter ested in toe matter presented. Elbert is a wealthy county. A eery large amount of cotton, as wall aa other prodnea, is made then. Tin poop « are extend™ purchmera of merehandlea, and tbe trade of tbe county is vary large. All tbia bade goes to Augusta, and Elbert is one of the beeriest patrons of tbe An- gnata Market Elberton is thirty miles from tbe Bait- road, at the nearest point—Lexington.— The people hare long desired tbe Wash ington Branch of the Georgia Railroad to be extended to Elberton, but ite con strnotion wosld be rery expensive—eepe daily in (be eoet and difficulty of creas ing Bread rirer. A branch of tbe Air-Line oonld be built at comparatively email coat—tbe proposed roots for meet of the distance being on a high level ridge. This branch onoe built would make Atlanta tha market for tbe cotton and other trade of Elbert and the oouatry contiguous. We have not time to go into details or giva statistics, We throw oat the gener al idea, and hope it will be taken bold of and elaborated by those immediately in- -terested. SON-STROKES.

STATE MATTERS. The Americus Republican, of Tuesday, •aye; We learn that a telegram was re ceived in this city on Saturday, that act ing Governor Conley bad pardoned Mr. in 'our paper I'egOi who was found guilty of "volunta- lauta and the 7 the-hat Superior _ ,, , Court of this county, and sentenced by Judge Clark to ton years imprisonment in tbe Penitentiary. If tbia be true, there is no baoeasRy for law in this coun try, for the trial of criminal offender*. It beuomes it farce. The. Hancock Sentinel, of Saturday, says: “A gentleman was in Sparta this week, who says he was monied in 1866, and has twelve boy ohildren now, and thinks the prospects are good for having three more for a Christmas present. A Hancock negro named George Wil liams; benzined on Sports pop-skull and laid down on tbe railroad track fora snooze. He was interred the second day thereafter. Sheriff Bradford of Columbus, who was ssssnltcd by young Muses, is recov ering. Columbus oomes up with the champi- thief. The Son says: One was arrested Saturday night and carried to the guard bourn. The offloers went through him and found the stolen money on his per son. It wss laid on a bench while be put on his clothes. He stole the money again while several officers were around and destroyed it—how, no one knows.— Ha is the sharpest one yet The Grand Jury will, perhaps, have a my so in tbe ■SU The flsttest thing Seott as a future President out—Tom Mk.

It is stated that an order has been issu'd by the Internal Revenue Bureau, at Washington, that "board, lodging and wishing meat be paid for os demand, or that the employee be deemed unworthy of holding any plaoe of trust or profit under the Government of the United States.” ■9* Speaking of the speculative ten dency of our foreign ambassadors, bat most especially at "Emma” Sehenok, tbe Litchfield, Connecticut, Sentinel offers on apology for them by saying: “Having bean obliged to bey their positions, it is ao more than fair that thay should be al lowed to engage in some business or speculation to get their money back.
