[Railroad Meeting at Walhalla.
A railroad meeting was held at Wal-
ImlU on the 30th ultimo, in the interest
of the Augusta and Hartwell Railroad
Company, a graphic account of which
w% find in the Columbia Phoenix. Seve
ral addresses were made, of which we
have only room to make a meagre men
tion.
There were fully one thousand people
present, and considerable interest was
maifested by the audience in the success
of the great through line from Chicago
to Augusta.
Col. E. F. Harrison, in a plain, straight
forward and effective address, placed the
merits of the road in a favorable light.
H'e said the road he advocated was the
shortest and cheapest route from Wal
halla to salt tva|gr, and the best unap
propriated locatiOTnn the southern States
for a railway. It passed through a rich
belt of 100 miles in breadth, lying be
tween the Georgia railroad on the west and
the South Carolina roads on the east,
and directly along the Savannah river
valley, which was unsurpassed in fertili
ty and unexcelled in its immense water
power. He considered the prospect of
building the road to be a good one. The
city of Augusta had agreed to build the
first twenty miles out and to secure the
right of way and depots and lots for the
use of the road in the city. This would
cost $500,000. The Georgia counties
would contribute as follows: Columbia,
$25,000; Lincoln, $60,000; Elbert, SIOO,
000; Hart, $80,000; and if Oconee and
the town of Walhalla would raise $200,-
000, he thought that, with perseverance
and unity of effort, the enterprise would
succeed. They had the Georgia State
guarantee of $15,000 a mile, and a first
mortgage of its bonds to fall back upon,
if necessary.
Hon. E. M. Rucker followed, and com
manded attention by the comprehensive
ness of his views, the fairness of his
statement, and his equally scholarly and
practical treatment of the subject. He
estimated the cost of the road to be
about $2,500,000. This would be large
ly expended along the line, and a devel
opment would ensue from its completion
which would enhance,the value of landed
property at least three fold. With in
creased population and the development
of a vast manufacturing interest, would
come additions to population, and'with
diversity of pursuits would be afforded
those opportunities to every sor). of tal
ent and every variety of tastes which
cannot be found in communities which
are devoted exclusively to farming and
planting. The more diversity, the better
the condition of a people to sustain those
reverses, prostrations and changes which
are inevitable in this life. He pointed to
the mills of Augusta and Macon as con
clusive of the question of the value and
practicability of manufacturing in the
South. They were the most profitable
of any in the world. The distance be
tween Chicago and New York was the
same as between Chicago and Port Roy
al, and once direct communication was
established between the latter points,
the Northwest would not receive the
West India and South American products
through New York as now. The carriage
of 700 miles would be saved—the dis
tance between the South Atlantic ports
and New York city. He estimated the
trade of the West Indies seeking an
American market to be-$80,000,000, and
that of South America to be $100,000,000,
To these practical considerations he pre
sented the additional one of the love of
the beautiful, which would be promoted
by the construction of this road along
the valley of the Savannah—a valley
which, in native grandeur and charms, is
not inferior to that of the Hudson river.
Dr. Dove, of Franklin county. North
Carolina, said they had a delightful and
highly productive county, bnt no outlet.
They are looking anxiously for the con
nection to be made of the Northwest
and the South Atlantic, which will em
brace them in its course. Rabun Gap is but
2,044 feet aoove tide water, and was de
pressed by the Great Creater expressly
for a railroad to pass through it. The
Tennessee river has only eight feet fall to
the mile in twenty miles to Franklin, and
the average fall for eighty miles on is but
sixteen feet to the mile. It would seem
as if God had opened this gently de
scending valley also expressly for the
iron horse to traverse.
Dr. Ansell, a native of the village, made
a few remarks, and the audience ad.
jouroed to dinner, a handsome and boun
tiful collation having been provided for
the occasion.
An amateur band furnished music at
intervals, and the entire affair passed off
happily and pleasantly.

Three cargoes of flour, aggregating

On last Wednesday, the community of
Washing, Wilkes, was shocked by the
most appalling and distressing accident
that has ever occured in that section.—
Miss Susan Golucke, daught of Mr. Ed.
Golucke, a beautiful and most estimable
young lady was burned most frightfully
and fatally on the public square.
Mr. Fillmore says these were the last
words uttered to him by Daniel Web
ster : “Before Mr. Webster died I called
to see him, and in the course of a long
on our social and political
relations Webster said: ‘There is but
one thing that I really regret having
done during the course of my political
life.’ I asked him what that was, said
Mr. Fillmore, and he replied “that I ev
er voted for a soldier President. There
is no use saying that my friends advised
me to do it; I did not believe in it, and
there is nothing I can say in that direc
tion to apologize for it.’ He referred to
Gen. Taylor.”
T ists of the Gattling gun were re
cer uly made at Fortress Monroe?, at 800
yards range, at a target 9 feet high and
45 feet in length. Six hundred shots
were fired in a minute and a half, 534 of
which struck the target. The Gattling
has proved itself superior to all others,
especially at ranges beyond two hundred
yards.
An Alabama paper says: “Among va
rious species of new' cotton indiginous to
the soil, and introduced in the cotton
States by the Agricultural Bureau, is
the Peruvian. It is tall and wed limbed
but yet destitute of the faintest sign of
blooms. This species of cotton does
not bloom until the second year after
planting, and continues to bear fruit
every year afterward to the seventh
year. It seems well adapted to our soil
and climate during the summer, but it
is questionable whether it will bear the
changes of the winter season. The sta
ple is said to be coarser, but as long as
the Sea Island, and longer. It com
mands about four cents more in the mar
kets than our ordinary cotton.

TO THE PUBLIC.
The Pain Killer manufactured by Perry Da
vis & Son has won for itself a reputation unsur
passed in medicinal preparations. The universal
tty of the demand for the Pain Killer is a novel,
interesting and surprising feature in the history
of this medicine. The Pain Killer is now regu
larly sold in large and .steadily increasing quanti
ties, not only to general agents in every State
and lerritory of th° Union, and every province
in Brinsh America, but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil,
Uruguay, Peru,Chili, and other South American
States, to the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba, and
other W est India Islands, to England and Conti
nental Europe, to Mozambique, Ma agnscnr,
Zanzibar and other African lands; to Australia,
and Calcutta, Rangoon, and other places in In
dia. It has also been sent to China,and we dt übt
if there is a foreign port or any inland city in
Africa or Asia, which is frequented by Ameri
can and European missionaries, travelers ortia
ders, into which the Rain Killer has not be ;n
introduced.
The extent of its usefulness is another great fea
ture o> this remarkable medicine. It is not only
the best thing ever known, as everybody will
confess, for Bruises, Cuts, Burns, Ac., but for Dys
entery or Cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint
it is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency, and
rapidity of action. In the great cities of British
India and the West India islands and other hot
climates, it has become the standard medicine
tor all such complaints, as weP is Dyspepsia,
liver complaint and other kindred disorders. For
Coughs and Colds, C nker, Asthma, and Rheu
matic difficulties, it has been proved by the most
abundant and convincing trials and testimony,
to be an invaluable medicine. The proprietors
are in possession of letters from persons of the
highest character and responsibility, testifying
in unequivocal terms to the cures effected and
the satisfactory results produced, in an endless
variety of cases by the use of this great medi
cine. That the Pain Killer is deserving of all
its proprietors claim for it is amply proved by
the unparalleled popularity it has attained. It
is a sure and effective remedy. It is sold in almo.-t
every country in the world,and is becomingmore
and more popular every year. Its healing prop
erties have been fully tested all over the world,
and it need only to be known to be prized.

THE ONLY KJMU w N MEDICINE
That at the same time Purges, IPurifies and
Strengthens the System.
Dr. Tutt’j Pills are composed of many ingre
dients. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla
aud Wild Cherry, so united as to act together;
the one through its admixtire with other sub
stances, purifying and purging, while the other
isjstrengthening the system. Thus these Pills
are at the same time a tonic and a cathartic,
a desideratum long sought f< r by medical men,
but never before discovered. In uther words they
do ihe work of two medicines and do it much
better than any two we know of, for they remove
nothing from the system but impurities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and hence
cause no debility and are followed by no reaction
I)r. Tutt’s Pills h ive a wonderful influence on
the blood. They not only purify without weak
ening it, but they remove all noxious particles
from the chyle befoie it is converted into fluid,
and thus mak.es impure blood an utter
bility. As there is no debilitation, so there is no
nausea or sickness attending the ope
ration of this most excellent medicine, which
never strains or tortures the digestive organs,
b’t causes them to work in a perfectly natural
manner; hence persons taking them do not be
come pale and emaciated, but on the contrary,
while all impurities are being removed, the
combined action of the Sarsaparilla and Wild
Ch*rry putifies and invigorates the body, and a
robiist state of health is the result of their
united action.
