She played last night t<» a large audi ence, the piece entitled “Bonn or Love Works Wonders.” Miss Rogers acted the title role almost to perfection. She is young, but has true dramatic genius. She is not stereotyped in any of. her movements. The voice ,and face of the actress express the emotions which sway her m ind and her action is in per fect unison with those emotions. There is no exaggeration of passion, but the earnestness of spirit which pervades her impersonation of this “love affair,’’ (wo call it) demonstrates in a remark able degree the strength and symmetry of her talent and admirable execution. Her support was about as good as ever comes South. In fact, wo would call it first rate for our city. As for the merits of the play, which we term a common place series of Jilt- ings, we must say that the plot has no depth, and in itself is not calculated to place one in a potential state of impa tience and anxiety to know the results. Notwithstanding, there is nothing re markable in the play, yet it “took,” to a fabulous degree, judging from tin* plaudits of the audience. It pleased because it was a bundle of love matters, which pleases as it goes along. The play was well presented and admirably dressed id every souse of the word. Wo repeat that the support was good, anil we make special mention of Mr. Hudson Liston, who personated Chris topher Npillet in *a style that would make Comedy itself smile. Miss Jennie MeLellan personated Miss Doretlm Withers, an old maid with much reading and “stupendous intellect,” in a manner which could not well ho surpassed. Tlit> IMiuwiix Jewelry Mon*. Mr. Jim. II. Briggs has associated with him Mr. T. S. Spear, and has opened at 101 Broad street a new and choice selected stock of Jewelry, sterling silver ware, gold and silver watches, and ar ticles suitable for bridal and holiday presents. Mr. llriggs is a stranger to us, but he comes well recommended as a first- class merchant and gentleman. Mr. Spear is too well known for us to speak of him. His taste for selecting stylish, fashionable and (/nod goods has never been questioned. The stock of goods is new and fresh and direct from various Northern manufactories, and will be sold at prices to suit the times. We ask of our friends to give the “Phoenix” a call and examine the stock. We have done so, and are gratiHed to re port a beautiful lino of goods at mar velous low figures. Mr. Lequin, an experienced watch maker, has charge of the repairing of watches, jewelry, etc., and all work is guaranteed. Fire In C’hnltnliuocliee iomity. Wednesday morning, Hie very valu able and desirable dwelling of Mr. Win. Bagley, of Chattahoochee county, was burned. The lire originated from a stove about the building. Wo learn that there was no insurance. This is certainly a very heavy blow upon this gentleman to have Ids hard earnings swept away almost in the twinkling of an eye. His house coatuinud fully twenty rooms with many conveniences and was doubtless the most costly one in that county. The structure could not be replaced for Joss than ten thous and dollars. A Henutlfiil Boll llouxr. It was made by Miss Willie Mahaf- fey, of this city, and is now on exhibi tion at Marcnnn tV t larrett’s. It is to be rattled at I illy cents per chance, being valued at twenty dollars. In less* than throe hours more than half of the chances had been taken, and this speaks well for the most admirable style in which the baby things* are gotten up. The walls and ceiling of the little house is tOMtlly papered, and the furniture Ls neat and unique, and comprises every thing pertaining to a neat and hand somely furnished room—oven babies. Everything was made by Miss Ma- hatlby’s hands. 8|iorllrp. We learn that to-day there will be a chicken-fight in Browneville, Alaban^i, in which Georgia cocks will be principal participants. If any of our boys want to have some rare sport now is the time. We would like to be on hand, but busi ness of an imperative nature requires ourprosenee in the city. No doubt many of our sportive youths will not he as busy as wo are, and will partake of the fun. * A Rcuilxlfr. We heard complaints last night that some parties could not, with satisfac tion listen to the play in the Opera House, because some who were sitting near had too much to talk about and seemed to be studious that others should hear them. Gentlemen who pay their money to witness an entertainment do not desire to be dis turbed, even if it be by those who would be co)U'tpk'non.s. Be still, boys, merit shines without any unnecessary application of gas. You can be seen, if handsome, but should not be heard. 0|*i»rrx«l«e Railroad DUrrlnalaallon* uad the Reairdy. Mr. Editor: A few days since I read an article in your paper showing the discriminations in rates of freights ns practiced by the railroads leading to and from the city of Columbus. This discrimination not only does exist in case of cotton, but in all classes of goods and merchandize of all descriptions, and has existed or been practiced for years, resulting in great damage to our city. 1 am glad to see tlmt one of our pa pers has had the independence to de nounce oppressive monopolies, and I hope your paper will continue to keep this matter before the people until they are aroused to act. t The. question asked by every one is— “Is there no remedy or relief?” I an- Hwer there is always a remedy against injustice and oppression, if the people will take hold of this matter. There is n remedy in this ease, and one that will he effectual if tukon advantage of, and which will put an end to discrimina tion and high twites of freights. The remedy I propose is to come from the Legislature of our .State, and if our City* Council will appoint a committee composed of members of its own body and other prominent citizens to devise and inaugurate some plan by which the people in the different portions of the State that are effected by these discrim inations, will act in concert and demand of their Representatives that the matter be brought before both branches of the Legislature, and pressed until relief is obtained, by the passing of such laws as will prevent in the future discrimi nation and oppressive rates of freights being exacted by these railroads. Then and not until then, will we get relief. The question of high freights and discriminations is being agitated all over the country. By referring to the acts of Congress on the 8th or 0th instant, you will find that Senator Chaf fee offered a hill in the Senate of the United States, compelling all railroads to prorate with eacji other and prohibit ing them from discriminating in rates. This action shows that other parts of the country have cause for complaint against railroad monopolies. While I do not advocate Congress regulating such matters, still I believe that event ually it will he the only power that can protect the country against powerful monopolies—railroads being the great est. I think our State Legislature is the proper source from which the peo ple must look for relief, and if the matter is fairly brought before the body, I must think there are Represen tatives enough in it not under the in fluence of tho railroads, to give reliof by passingsuch laws as will compel them to make the rates of freight fair and equul. Some portions of the Western States a few years since were suffering in the same way, and the Grangers took hold of the matter, and the Legislatures passed laws relieving them, and, not withstanding that every effort was made by the railroads that money and influence gave them to prevent it, the laws were passed and tho Supremo Court of the United States sustained the Legislatures by deciding they had the right to pass laws regulating freights and preventing discriminations against portions of the State where no coinpe- tion existed. Why cannot tho Grangers of this section act with us, as any bene fits we may get by receiving equal transportation facilities and rates of freights on a parity with other sections will result in u benefit to the planter as well as to us. 1 regard it as useless to appeal to the railroads. That has been done until I am convinced it is a waste of time, and, besides, it would be something new under the sun for a powerful monopoly to voluntarily relinquish any power it may have, whether it is by might or right, to draw from the pockets of the people. The agitation of this matter is not a new one. An effort was being made at the time the Convention was in session at Atlanta to have the subject brought before them, but was aban doned, I learn, upon the assurance of parties connected with one of our most powerful railroads (the Central) that the question of freights was then in the hands of Mr. Powers with full discre tion to make such rates as would put one city on a parity with other cities and sections as would be fair, equal and just. The remedy I suggest 1 think is the only one, and, if tho people in the dif ferent portions of the State, who are ef fected hv these discriminations will act together, relief can bo ha l through our Legislature and only from that direc tion. Our Representatives are young men of talent and energy. If nec essary, I am in favor of calling a meeting of our citizens and instructing them to have this matter brought before our next Legislature and pressed; but 1 have no idea such a meeting will he necessary to interest them in the question, as 1 am satisfied that they will take advantage of the op portunity to obtain for themselves the lasting gratitude of their constituents by using every means in their power to have such laws passed as will remedy the matter. 1 do not think it necessary at this time to give facts and figures to show that these discriminations and excessive rates of freights do exist. Ask any of our merchants, cotton dealers, in fact any, and you will bo told the effects of it is felt in every branch of enterprise or business. In all probabilitythere will bean ex tra session of the Legislature called to meet in January, or at some early day, and the sooner some plan is adopted by which this matter can he brought be fore it the sooner we will obtain relief. 1 think the appointment of a committee by Council will be the soonest way of organizing here.
