ROHE WAVES WORMS. fl T e are gratified to know that oar city litters are makibg some progress towards the erection of water works in our city. As the ndrenture is a new one with ns.it be hooves us to inquire into similar experi ments which have been made elsewhere.— A gentleman now visiting our city from fjowEng Gteen. Ky., informs ns that they have jnet completed, in that city, of six ‘thousand inhabitants, a system of water worts that coat the city near seventy thou sand dollars. Ibis, of course, includes the pipe laid down ip all the prino’pal .-streets, and service pipe do most of the stores anddyeffinga.Thew^pris brought -central reservoir, and most of the mpin pipe was laid frs.u the fountain to the res ervoir by blasting a bed for .it in solid rook. The water is elevated one hundred and eighty feet, by steam power, *0 the top of a hill near the center of the city, fto® which point it is distributed. The power used is a sixty-horse steam engine. These watet works were paid for by sel ling the city bonds—bearing interest nt 8 per ceut. and to run ten years—interest payable semi-annually. We are further informed that these tads were ali sold at auction, at a premi- nurn, notwithstanding the city has no cor porate pi operty. Now, here is an experiment that has just been made by a co umunity and a city very much like ours, and with most gratifying success. The water rents, already fixed, will net only pay the interest, bnt one- tenth of the principal debt, the first year Now we apprehend that the only differ ence between Bowling Green and Home, is in the will and the public spirit of the inhabitants. If our people were a unit up on the subject as they are, there would not he the slightest difficulty or embarrassment in the way of the speedy erection of a oom- plete system of water works that would conduce more than anything else to .the comfort, health and prosperity of our city. Al, ol this can be done at an expendi ture of not more than half the cost of the works at Bowling Green. Now, shall we have them, and will not our own citizens take np the bonds of the eity at par. Where is onr oity pride and our public spirit ? Why is it that in Ken tucky they have good roads everywhere, and we are content to travel over gullies, rocks, and tottering bridges—why ia it 7— Let us shake off this sluggishness, this carp iug about tare; and extravagance. Let ns reflect that what we do with our tax is the improvement of our own city, and the en hancement of the value of our own prop- «rty- Let us encourage the city fathers to c o a ead, and not trammel them by oxpres- suns of doubt and fear. s— ROME, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 8, 1869. THE GOLD CAPSR IN NEW YORK. | irs of 'Wall streets lifted ont on last Friday. . .

Instantly gold dropp ed to 81 38 and from thenee tu 31 311. The ring howled impotent enrses, gnash ed their teeth madly and gave np the ghost. Every telegram that comes from the North brings news of new failures of staunch business houses, and all record this as the most comprehensive and intensest excitement ever kicked np among the gold kings of the Metropolis. A pretty satire truly upon the monitary system of the “best government the snn ev er shone on,” that a few millionaires can, by private combination, shake to its very, foundations the whole financial continent. The Macon Journal & Messenger don’t object to inviting Bntler & Go. to the State Fair, but don’t like the idea of sending an especial tram-to Lynchburg after ..them.— Of course, who does, saveDiUlock ?

A more captivating speaker can scarcely he imagined. Glowing fignres, not coined from fancy—he scatters lavishly— his materials gathered from ev ery possible source, are fused 1 into a gor geous unity by a bnrning imagination, and his discourse clothed with the purple robe of an always royal rhetoric, is enchanting. No prose can be more melodious—his periods evolving in a series of subordi nate clauses, which spring naturally one from another, roll on with a soft, yet migh ty swell, omething of the lan guishing harmony of verse. Bnt of all the orators that we have ever heard—political or otherwise—George F. Pierce stands pre-eminently first." He has the losciou3 sweetness, matchless coloring and voluptuous harmony of Munsey; and, happy combination with this, be has the era, vivid logic of Bascom, and the state ly strength and style of Beckwith. Pierce never weaves a web for his au dience unless caught iii the guttering woof ate many threads of persuasive ar- Mnnsey’s style reminds ns of the soft Italian, where vowel chases vowel and liquid, in beauty, glides with liquid, while Pierce enggests the sturdy English,' where vowels catch vigor from- conBonaafSj.jand in torn, give to consonants a milder hue.

Here is a peculiarly Frencby remark in a Paris feuilletun: “Two womei sary to make thelife of a man complete,- the woman he loves, and the woman who loves him.” The following days of the week are those set apart for pnblio worship in the different nations; Sunday, by the Christians; Monday by the Grecians; Tuesday by the Persians; Wednesday by the Asyrians; Thursday by the Turks; and Saturday by the Jews. A new made widow went lately to a life insurance office to receive the amondt o r a poliev on her hnsb&nd’s life, whieh had providently been made to her. The Presi dent thought it proper to oondole with hex on her bereavement. “I am truly sorry, madam, to hear of your loss.” That’s al ways the way with yon men. You are al- TELEGBAFHIO, Sumner Still on the Rampage. At the Massachusetts Republican Con vention this quarrelsome old gentleman jerked his thunderbolts towards the South with great malignity. He says: “The information from the ex-Rcbel States-'is most painful. Old Rebels are crawling from hiding-places to resume their former rule—and what a rule 1 Snch as might be expected from the representivesof slavery. It is the role of misrule, where the Ku Klux Klan takes the place of mis sionary and schoolmaster. Murder is un loosed. The national freedman is the vic tim . and so is the Unionist. Not one of these. States, where intimidation with death in its train does not play its part. Take that whole Southern tier from Georgia to Texas, and add to it Tennessee, and, I fear North Carolina and Virginia also—for the crime is contagions, and there is small justice for those who owe so nraeh.” After grinding out a few more snch as serting! he ol»img that there is bnt one thing the* disturbers fed; it is power, and tiim'Hnijjw vt be made to fed; I mean the power ot wakened people, directed by a Republican Administration, vigorously constantly, surely, so that there shall be no rest for the w'cked. So the poor South is to he again recon structed. It does seem to ns that often we are “accepted” about eight “situations” that the Republican party might remember their motto of the Canvas* “Let u» have Peace.’ A German in New Albany has what ha calls a “dumpling dock” in his window.— On its top is a fat and jolly looking Ten- ton, who holds a fork in Ins hand. By an ingenious contrivance, the fork at the end of each minute dips into a dish of damp- lings, and carries one of them to the month of the Teuton, who swallows it with a chok ing gurgle and a queer motion of his glass eyes. We have seen hoys and men who are little more than dumpling docks—good to count breakfast, dinner and sapper time. Soienee threatens the extinguishment of the “dusty mil'er.” A method has been overed of making bread without grind ing the grain, and a patent has been taken ont for the process. In making bread from floor there is much waste, one hundred pounds of grain yidding only one hundred and twelve pounds of bread. By the new process the same amonot of grain will pro- dace one hundred and fifty ponnds of bread Moreover, the decomposed and lost glnten in the old process is preserved in the new. Dr. Livingstone, who has very foolishly mislaid himself somewhere in the wilds of Africa, has at last been found, or so nearly found that there is no fan in it. We are now told that persons familiar with Africa have suggested that Livingstone is pioba- bly a captive in the hands of a powerful King of Cazeqahe. As whea last seen, the great traveler was in some six or eight hun dred miles of the King of Cazembe, and seemed to be lounging leisurely in that di rection, it is almost certain that the colored old rascal has got him. According to the Louisville Conrier-Jour- nal mules are selling well in Kentucky.— In the Lexington market lately four or five hundred, some of them two years old, went as high as $248 25—common yearlings at $85. There were many horses in the eity also, and were in demand, and brought good prices. In Shelbyville lately mules sold at rates varying from $80 to $200 per head. A lot of broken three year olds av eraging in height 15 hands and 3 inches; brought on average of two hundred dollars per head—colts fifty to seventy-five. These prices are no donbt attributed to the late high rates of the cotton market, *nd to the expeoted increased demand that will be made tor moles in the extended cultivation of that crop. American women are confessedly as pret ty, as bright and as pure as any the socie ties of the world know. When foreigners meet good specimens abroad, they invaria bly award them the palm; seen at home, they combine the aplomb of the English woman with the nameless paces and vivac ity of the French. As a rale, they err nei ther on the tide use, of the frippery of the Continental, nor of the overstarched pro priety of a certain class of British females. And the reasoin is fimpla enough. Their minds, their characters, and 'very often their manners even—are natural.' Their development is the resnlt of natural effuses, with few unwholesome' restrictions!

On the shore, among the crowd, was a re- msrkably stupid-looking fellow, with his hands in his pocket, and his under lip hanging down. A dandy, ripe for a scrape, nods and winks at all ronnd, saying: “Now I’ll have some fin. I’ll frighten the greenhorn.” He jumped ashore with a large drawn bowie, brandishing it in the face of the “green un,” exclaiming: “Now Fll punish you—I’ve been looking for you for a week.”’ The fellow stared stntiidly at his assail ant; he evidently did not know enough to be scared, but as the bowie knife came near hi* free, one of his huge fists suddenly v»- vated his pocket, and fell hardf and heavy between the eyes of the dandy, Ihc poor fellow was floundering in the Ohio. Greeny then jumped on board our boat, pot his hand3 in his pockets, and .looking around, said: “Maybe there’s somebody else tliat’s been looking fbr me for a week.” The other day, says an exchange, a young lady called on a friend, and seeing a con- pie of not large sized pin cushions lying up on a table, which, upon inquiry, she found had been in use for five years, suggested that it would be a good idea to rip them open and get the needles. At this the la dy laughed and replied that she thought it would hardly pay; bnt upon the other in sisting that she would find as many as 300; the experiment was finally tried, when to the astonishment of all, 1500 .TED P3 ESS DISPATCHES.
