With the opening of tho Spring season, we hope to see the usual activity in building in our city. Being a place of “ magnificent dis tances," thoro is yet much unoccupied room— there are a great many vacant lots on which fine business houses, tnansious and cottages would show to groat advantage; and then, again, thero are many houses which might bo greatly improved by renovatiou. —Speaking whorcof, we are reminded that Mr. John White is having the store under the Watchman office—formerly the Georgia Rail road bank—rejuvenated and renovated. We are pleased to seo this, and hope this ancient building will he made as attractive as any of its youthful rivals. We hear of private houses in contemplation and hope tho number may be largely increased (.'Mange of Postal Rates. We are requested by Col. Taylor to cal) the attention of our citizens to the fact that by act of the lato Congress postal rates have been changed on all mail matter, except letters and regular issnes of newspapers from office of publication—all such matter now paying one cent per ounce instead of two ounces for one cent, as formerly. - ' ' '1 One of the Handsomest Stores In tho city, is on tho corner ot College Avenue and Clayton street, in the now 'Lester block and 'occupied by Reese Sc Lane. By the way, the business of our city has increased, expand ed and stretched out wonderfully within the past few years. Instead of being chiefly loca ted on Broad street and College Avenue, as formerly,-the business of the town is now con siderably scattered among sovoralstreets, and has lengthened out both east and west on Broad street. Hudisott County. As will ho seen in another column, tho peo- plo of Madison have appointed Bell delegates to the Gainesville Convention. This makes two for Bell and five for Hill, so far. This leavos twelve counties yot to hear from. U. S. Engineers. ■ A party of civil engineers, engaged in sur veying a railroad routo from tho Great West to the Southern Atlabtic seaboard, reached this city last week. They came down the lino of the Northeastern railroad. Wo understand that they have instructions to survey all the several proposed routes. What they may fi nally recommend, or what route they may re port as most desirable, we presume that neith er they nor others know at this time. We think the Rabun Gap route presents superior advantages. The practicability of crossing the mouutain there is not now an open ques tion, as a road is already graded through the Gap. f<>r Clerk Superior Court, Oconee County.

A Prominent Citizen of Banks Bead. Wc announce with profound regrot the death of Gen. Thomas F. Anderson, of Banks county, which occurred recently, as wc learn. Gen. Anderson was a very remarkahlo man. Born the year after the declaration of- American in dependence, he was in his ninety-eighth year when he died. He took au active part in the war of 1812, and was a member of both branch es of the Legislature at various times, and al ways a leading man in the county of his resi dence. He was brave and generous to a fault, and retained his faculties In a most wonderful degree. The last time wo saw him—about a year ago—be was unusually active, both men tally and physically, for a man of bis years— not appearing then to be more than seventy- five. Tho deceased was a native of Burke county, N. C , and came to this State when quito young, and wa»flio architect of bis own fortune. Bridal Presents. Presentation Goods. Family Silver. New Jewelry.

While they were engaged in sur veying these streams they made their head quarters at Gen. Andrew Miller's, near the Gap. Having obtained the desired levels on those streams, they next ran the level for Mid dle creek, and Coweta, aad intended to ran to the Tennessee. When they came down towards Middle creek they made oar father's booae, at Smith's Bridge, their headquarters. This is only ten miles south of Franklin. Daring the running of the level up Middle creek, Capt. Wrag waa stricken with appoplexy as they were returning one afternoon from their day’s work. It was about a mile from home. They brought him down home, where he lingered a few days and died. This suspended opera tions on the survey, for Capt. Bacbeand Lieut. Pleasanton left with the body of Capt. Wrag and we have no recollection that they ever re turned to the work. The practicability of carrying the streams this corps surveyed into the Gap will be readily seen when we consider that tho average water fall from the summit in the Gap to Franklin is only some seven or eight feet to tho mile. Hon. John C. Calhouu took a deep interest in this survey, and no doubt received from those engineers bis idea so often expressed, that Rabun Gap was the moat practicable pass through the Blue Ridge, south of Vinginia. We do not recollect the date when the sur vey was made. We suppose it was somewhere from 1825 to 1630. This, however, does not mattor, materially. The government was in terested, the people all along both sides of the Savannah, from Clayton to Augusta, were interested and excited, as our friend, Jesse R. Siler, says he well remembers. Capt. Bacbe left the impression upon ns that the project was a feasible one. We also know that with comparatively small cost a considerable volurno of the Tennosseo waters can be thrown through the Gap into the Savannah. And uow we ask, in all candor, what other gap in the Blue Ridge is like this T We have given facts as we recollect them, and have done so because they contain a history to the preservation of which Western North Carolina is entitled—a history which shows how deep ly interested the national mind was for con necting the West and the Sooth in tho better days of the republic, when the most brilliant talent and tho profoundest statesmanship rul ed in the national councils. Since, however railways havo been invented and can bo constructed through mountain passes at less cost than canals with locks and dams, nothing has been said of this original project. A survey was made for a railway from Anderson, S. C., through Rabun Gap to Knoxville, Tenn. This was a Charleston scheme and at that time had the sanction of the State of South Carolina. It was in anto-bellnm times when the best talent of the dear old State ruled in hor conncils. Nothing was said of any consequence at that timo of lines rnnning from Port Royal, Savannah, Augusta, Athens, Brunswick, Macon and Atlanta, to Rabun Gap, as connecting lines. It seems, however, after the expenditure of several millions by Charles ton and the State, that Charleston has kicked off the Bluo Ridgo enterprise. But Athens, Ga., with a penetration and foresight worthy the sound commercial sense and great talent for which her people are justly noted, has taken up this enterprise, and through the North-East Georgia charter and company, are pressing the work steadily and surely towards Clayton and Rabun Gap. *They are aiming for the N. C. and Ga. State line, only 14 miles south of Frankliu. This is an honest compa ny, who do not move by spasmodic jerks, and who do uot believe that railroads are built by gas. They are prudent gentlemen, who are resolved not to iuvolve themselves and their road in inextricable debts that will ultimately deprive them of It. When they build the road they expect to use it and enjoy its profits and benefits. They will soon have their trains running to the Air-Line, and have already commenced the work of grading north ward in the direction of Clayton. The people all along the line are in full sym pathy with it, and ae the work progresses are giving it material aid. Whenever the work roaches the State line, Macon will do her du ty, you may rely upon that. We do not ex pect to take a Christmas excursion npon ;he train from Frauklinin 1875, nor to celebrate ihe arival of the trains here by a Fourth of July dinner in 1876. We were cured of such spasms years ago. Butina reasonable time and with certainty we look for the completion of this work. The men who have charge of it understand its geographical and topographical superiority. They are apprised of its vaiue and know its advantages for connecting the West with the South, and will not remain idle until the trains run from Athens to Knoxv.’le. It were foolish to attempt to conceal the fact that this route has been treated os the speckled bird by a great many individual and outside railroad interests. These jealousies, however, only show reflectively t&e true merit and com mercial value of this route. Our word for it, it will ono of these doys come out in brilliant plumage. Is thero not room for this rood as others f Is there not a vast amount of material to bo removed from this immediate section for which there is now a constand demand t Oar motto build nil of them; and lot not ono throw obstacles in the way of others. Let each line stand upon its own merits, and when the dif ferent roads are completed, they will settle by the laws of demand and the merits of the road all questions of freight and travel Aud now that an bonost company has this enterprise deeply at heart, with a clear oon- viction of the vast commercial interests involv- Retail Prices Current.
