CINCINNATI TO THE SEA. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO MILES LESS BETWEEN AUGUSTA AND CINCINNATI VIA THE AUGUSTA AND HARTWELL RAILROAD THAN BY THE PRESENT ROUTE. The primary question for the people of Augusta to consider at this time is what can be done to revive business and bring back the trade which legitimately belongs to her. Above us, along the Savannah river, on both sides, is a fertile and productive country, raising many thousand bales of cotton each year. Every bale of this should come to Augusta, and would do it if the means of transportation were at hand. But in this age of railways, peo ple are not apt to hold on to the old fashioned wagon line, and are quick to avail themselves of the nearest railroad. Elbert, Lincoln and contiguous counties are clamoring for a railway which will enable them to send their produce to market. Years ago, when the project of build ing the Augusta and Hartwell was first inaugurated, those counties reasonably expected that their efforts were abc ut to meet with success. The importance of the proposed road, not only to the sec tion of country through which it would pass, but to Augusta as well, was very evident, and it was, therefore, not un reasonable to expect .that this city would take an active interest in the matter, and ree to it that the necessary amount to construct the i oad was raised. But as time went on, and the road was still only on paper, it became apparent that the hopes of the country people were doomed to disappointment. Elbert, de termined to have an outlet, set about building a railroad for itself. A route was surveyed from Elberton to the Richmond and Atlanta Air Line, and grading commenced. The work is now going on. Asa matter of course, every thing shipped from Elbert by that route will gc to Atlanta. We are informed that Mr. John H. James has offered to subscribe one hun died thousand dollars to a railroad from Elberton to Lincolnton, provided the produce from Lincoln is sent to Atlanta. If this road should bo built it does not need much figuring to tell how much Augusta, will lose. Lincoln is a produc tive county, and all or nearly - all of her produce has hitherto been sent to this city. But witn this railroad running in to her midst it cannot be expected that she will forego its advantages,and pome, to Augusta by tho wagon system as of yore. This brings us back to tho query in the premises: What must we do to hold our own and add to the trade of the city ? One thing is morally certain. If the Augusta and Hartwell Railroad is built we will accomplish both objects. l 1 10 natural inclination of the people in the Savannah River Valley is to come to Augusta with the products of their farms and plantations. Only assist them in obtaining the means to get here, and tho wealth of that rich section will be poured into tho lap of Augusta- But is the Savannah Valley tho only section to bo considered ? We think not. Be yond is the Great West, from which we obtain annually so large an amount of baejn. corn and other supplies. The Western producer and shipper will nat urally patronize the shortestjroute to the sea, and the grain depot for this portion of the South. Let us look at a few figures. The distance from Augusta to Cincinnati, by the present route, is 759 miles, divided as follows : From Augusta to Atlanta, 171 miles; from Atlanta to Chattanooga, 138 miles ; frc-m Chattanooga to Nash ville, 151 miles ; from Nashville to Lou isville, 189 miles; from Louisville to Cincincinnati, 110 miles. Via the Au gusta and Hartwell Railroad, it is 507 j miles, divided as follows: From Augus ta to Rabun Gap one hundred Aid fifty miles; Rabun Gap to Knoxville, 85 miles; from Knoxville to Junction, 130 miles; from Junction to Nieholasville, 30 miles ; Nicholasville to Cincinnati, 112 miles. This gives us a difference of 252 miles in favor of the route via tho Augusta and Hartwell Railroad. Now let us see how much, of this route remains to be constructed. Under the new survey the Augusta and Hartwell Railroad runs along the Savannah river valley to the Tugalo liv er, whico it crosses, and extends thence to Seneca City, where it effects a junc tion with the Blue Ridge Railroad. Un der the old survey, the road instead of crossing the Tugalo, ran across the Richmond and Atlanta Air-Line to Ra bun Gap The fifty miles from the riv er to the Gap was the hardest portion of the road, and its grading would have cost as much as that of all the remain der of the route. The people between the Tugalo and Seneca City, in South Carolina, have already subscribed §50,- 000 and placed it in the hands of Col. Harrison, to be used in constructing that portion of the road, conditional, however, upon tangible assurances that something will bo done at this end.— From Seneca City to Walballa there is already a railroad, the Blue Ridge. From this place to Maryville, Tennessee, is another gap of 12 miles. But the people in the section between Maryville and the South Carolina State line have already given assurances that ‘ they will build that line, provided that from Wal hnlla to the line is constructed by their I neighbors. Froui Maryville to Junction i there is a continuous line already built. From Junction to Nicholasville there is I another gap of 30 miles, 10 of which aro ■ graded. Fro% this point there is a con- ESTABLISHED 1859. ELBERTON GEORGIA, JJJNM 28,1876. tinuous line to Cincinnati. So then there are in all 192 miles of road to be built to complete the air line route be tween Augusta and Cincinnati. The first objective point in this gap is the Augusta and Hartwell Railroad. Work once commenced on that, the other 72 miles will quickly be constructed. We J have it from authority that the road can be built for §1,500,000—5500,000 in subscriptions and §1,000,000 in bonds Certainly the benefits to be derived from the road, when built aro great enough to induce people in this section to sub scribe the requisite half million. There must be enterprise enough among us to make us esire to enhance the trade of Augusta. We feel assured that the peo ple along the line of the railroad will do their part in the matter if Augusta and j its citizens will contribute a‘proportion- I ate share of the amount needed to carry , the enterprise to a successful termina tion.—[Chronicle A Sentinel. TRUTH STRANGER"THAN FICTION. Tho Asheville (N. C.) Pioneer says : A number of men met at a house on North Tow river, Mitchell county, for the pur pose of a geneial spree. As usual in such cases a fight ensued, and in a fight between a young man and a drunken companion named Tool}-, tho former was dangerously stabbed iu the abdomen. In this condition ho was placed in a blanket, a pole run through a loop iu the same, and the ends shouldered by two men, who attempted to carry him where he could get surgical aid. The path led along the side of a rugged mountain, and they had borne him soma distance when the knot through which the pole ran loosened, and the wounded man was thrown down the mountain, his intes tines catching on bushes and winding around him as he rolled down its pre cipitous side. He was alive when pick ed up, and his friends carried him to a house in the neighborhood. We are in formed that an old housewife was called in to attend him. She pushed back the entrails and sewed up the orifice with packthread. Later in tho day a Dr. Huggar arrived, who gave it as his opin - ion that the operation had not been properly done—that Davis, ‘‘paunch” was not iu the proper position, and that some of the minor entrails were missing. This he ascertained by giving tho pa tient several hearty shakes; he said ‘-the sound was too hollow.” At order tho man was again ripped open, while parties were sent in soareh-of--miss ing entrails. They found several of these indispensables to the progress of digestion, and hurrying back to tho house, handed them to the M. D. As they were very dirty, im rinsed them in cold water, sprinkled a little salt over them as a preservative, and then put them in the patient. The wound was resowed and when our informant left it was thought that Davis would recover. If he does, a life insurance policy would be the greatest extravagance he could indulge in. THE INFLUENCE 1)F NEWSPAPERS. A school teacher, who had been a long time engaged in his profession, and wit nessed the influence of a newspaper upon the minds of a family of children writes as follows: I have found it to be a universal fact, without exception, that those scholars of both sexes, and of all ages, who have access to newspapers at home, when com pared with those who have not, are: 1 Better readers, excellent in pronun ciation, and consequently read more un derstandingly. 2. They are better spellers and define words with ease and accuracy. 3. They obtain practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it re quires of others, as the newspapers have made them acquainted with the location of the important places of the nations, their Government, and doings on the globe. 4. They are better grammarians for having become so familiar with every variety of style in the newspapers, from the commonplace advertisement to the finished and classical oration of tho statesman ; they more readily compre hend the meaning of the text, and constantly analyse its construction with accuracy. 5. They write better compositions, using better language, containing more thoughts, more clearly and more cor rectly expressed. 6. These young men who Lave for years been readers of newspapers arc al ways taking the lead in debating socie ties, exhibiting a moro extensive knowl edge upon a greater variety of sub jects, and expressing their views with greater fluency, clearness, and correct ness. Chicago Times: Collin Graves, the milkman hero of the last year’s dam dis aster in Massachusetts, did not figure in the recent one. An inquiry has brought out t'.jiO sad fact that he died of grief, pove/ty and neglect some time ago. It seen/s that f-fter the Mill River catastro phe, when he rode down the valley and warned the inhabitants that the dam was breaking, people asked themselves what he could have been doing at the reservoir, and then stopped buying his milk. The milk business was ruined, he found nothing else to do, and not many months after he died in destitute circumstances. Think twice before you allow yourself to become a hero. If men would set good examples, they might hatch better habits. Jj JUDGE H. V. JOHNSON. pFrom tho Chronicle itecntiacl 17th.] Hon. Herschel Y. Johnson: Dear Sir—When two parties divido tho State, striving for the success of op i posing principles, of necessity and with ! patriotism the political offices, in which j the prevailing principle is to receive its ] development, are tho objects of conten tion. Such a state of affairs has been exhibited in the course of your career, when the great Whig and Democratic parties fought, under the leadership of their foremost men, over their rival the ories. But when tho State practically be longs to one party, then contentions for office become merely the strivings of in victuals for personal promotion, advan tage or distinction. Such a condition of filings exist in the State now. The undersigned ardently desire to see a man borne into the office of Governor of Georgia by tho spontaneous, unso licited movement of the people of Geor gia As it would be out of taste to speak of your merits to your face, merely in the way of aimless compliment, so it would be weak, through fear of offend ing against good tasto, to refrain from so speaking, when it is proper and to a purpose to do so. There are three or fourmen in the State, recognized by all its dtizcr.s as pre-eminent. While tho peer of any of this small number, your abilities and wisdom, coupled with your purity of character, leave you no equals outride of these few, and place you far above ail others than they. The under signed entertain the opinion that this preeminence should, on the one hand, receive its recognition in your unsought elevation to the highest office in the gift of the people of Georgia, and would, on the other hand, be itself the best assur ance that this office would bo adminis tered, in its every branch and depart ment, wisely, patriotically, independent ly and without favoritism Tho undersigned, firmly persuaded that the sentiments and opinions herein expressed are shared by the great mass of their fellow-citizens of Georgia, earn estly request you to allow an authorita tive statement that you would accept the nomination of tho Democratic Con vention of tho State for the office of Governor. i- Very respectfully, C. *J.

Lang, And many others. governor Johnson’s reply. Sandy Grove, Bartow P. 0., Ga., June 15 th, 187 G. Messrs. Chas. J. Jenkins and many oth ers : Gentlemen. Your communication touching the candidacy for Governor of Georgia, for the ensuing Executive term, was received a few days ago, whilst I was holding an adjourned term of the Superior Court of Washington county. Hence I did not reply imme diately. You ask me to allow an authorita tive statement that I will accept the nomination of the Democratic Conven tion of the State for the office of Gov ernor. I recognize the right of the State to command the services of any citizen and his reciprocal obligation to obey, unless prevented by paramount reasons.— Hence, if contrary to my expectations, I should be called upon by the people to serve them in the Executive capacity, or (to use your own language) if I should be “borne into the office of Governor by the spontaneous, unsolicited movement of the people of Georgia,” I should act | not under the impulse of personal inter est or ambition for that office, but solely under the sense of duty which should govern every patriotic citizen. Having received numerous private let ters on the same subject and looking to the same end, I take occasion to say publicly, in reply to them, that I cannot convent to be placed in the attitude of a candidate for the nomination. Ido not desire the nomination, I should deplore to be placed in such position as might lead to divisions, or increase the tenden cy to such divisions, already so appar ent. I would rather pour oil upon the waters than to be, even unintentionally, instrumental in swelling and infuriating its billows. I have no aspiration for the office of Governor. Its responsibilities, for the next Executive term, as I see the proba ble future, are not such, even ii I dis trusted my ability less than I do, as to induce me to court their assumption. Much less would I covet the honor of so grave a trust, at the peril of engen dering schism, heart-burning and strife. Be assured, gentlemen, I shall be truly gratified if the people of Georgia shall select any other of whom they may feel safe in imposing these high duties. 1 am quite sure there are many eminent j citizens from whom such a selection can : be made. It remains only for me to express to the people of Georgia my profound sense of obligation for the many distin guished evidences of their confidence in the past. They have honored me be yond my deserts. I shall never be able to discharge the debt of gratitude I owe them. Accept gentlemen, my grateful ac- j knowledgement of the complimentary i terms which you are pleased to apply Vol. V.—dSTo. 9. to myself and the assurance of my sincere regret that I so little deserve them- I have tho lion or to bo most respect fully your obedient servant and fellow citizen. Herschel V. Johnson. THE GOOD TIME COMING. The Froo Press says the Detroit gro cers, not satisfied with advertising, put ting out [circulars, and nailing cards to private houses, have struck anew idea. A man calls from house to house and offers to take orders for even a bar of soap or a box of matches and bring the goods to the house. Strange things hap pen in this strange world. Five years hence a gentleman may drive around after a pair of white horses, call at a house, pull off his white kid gloves, touch his hat, and politely remark : “Mr. Rush has established anew gro cery store on Woodward avenue. If you want anything in our line I shall be happy to sell it to you at half cost, wait six months for pay, and then take it in oldj boots, broken flowerpots, and rusty gate hinges.” Tho consumer won’t have kept pace with the times, and ho will hesitate. The agent will go on; “Wo are determined to rush off these goods. Our object is to oblige tho pub lie*, not to make maney. Therefore write down a list of what you want, and the goods will be sent you with a re ceipted bill.” If the consumer still hesitates, tho agent will go on : “We must keep goods moving. Make out your list, and I’ll not only send tho bill, but you will draw, as prizes, a nice chromo, a coach dog, an annual pass on some street car line, a pair of new boots, and marble bust of Andrew Jackson, life size.” And when all those things have been received the consumer will yet feel as if ho could have done better by dealing with some other bouso. LARGEST SNAKE IN AMERICA. In the zoological gallery of Dr. Cun ningham, Cartilage, Mo., may bo seen the greatest native American wonder ex tant—a make twenty-seven feefc,'ei"ht inches in length, and seventeen inclies in circumference. It resembles, in many particulars, the Tyger Python of Africa. It lies coiled in-tixiaisndous.. folds, with head . erect, mouth open, and mammoth forked tongue protruding, as if about to gulp down at one spring anything in reach. This snake, which Dr. Cunningham has named the Lead Python of tho Southwest, is, without doubt, the largest American reptile ever captured. The history of the capture is about as follows : Two miners in Hickory county were returning hcmejfrom prospecting in in tho woods, in the latter part of July, accompanied by a large dog. While passing a thicket, on the banks of a stream, they were attracted by a hissing or gushing noise, followed immediately by a loud yell from the dog, and a crash among the bushes. On approching tho spot, they beheld the terrible monster in the act of swallowing the dog. They fled, but soon returned, and succeeded in capturing the reptile while gorged. The weight of the snake when first taken was about three hundred pounds. BRISTOW’S REBUFF. Tho Courier-Journal contains an inter view with Hon. 11. D. McHenry, ex Con gressman from Kentucky, who aecompa nied Secretary Bristow, Sunday, to tho residencejof Mr. Blaine, where he met the rebuff which has been generally report ed. McHenry reports that on arriving at tho residence the Secretary found the door wide open and observed Mr. Blaine lying prone upon the floor of tho hall surrounded by his attendants. Not wishing to disturb any one, he softly en tered. As he did so, Mrs. Blaine, com ing into the hall and recognizing him, came quickly forward and in an excited manner waived him back, remarking: “Don’t come in, sir ; you have had your way.” The Secretary without a word bowed himself out in a dignified manner and gettinginto the street pardoned Mrs. Blaine’s actions on the ground that she was so frantic in grief at her husband’s distress that she did not appreciate her conduct, and was probably not aware of the thorough reconciliation of Mr. Blainj and himself Saturday night. DUEL BY SNAKES. The Home and School Journal says : The rattlesnakes of our own country have a dangerous enemy in the common black snake. In one of these duels, which aro both spirited and deadly, an eye witness, Wiliam Kincaid Davis, of South Caro lina, says the rattler was compelled to commit unintentional suicide in a mo menfcof temporary insanity. When first discovered the rattlesnake was coiled with head erect and ready to spring. The black snake circled around him re peatedly, being careful never to approach near enough to be reached by the fangs of the rattler, who, turning his head to watch his antagonist as he circled round, became dizzy and crazed, and finally struck blindly and straightened himself his whole length. The black snake now ran across the straightened form of the other, who feeling the con tact stru k, missing his fuc, but biting his own body, died of tho venom from | his own fangs. Staggers Among Hogs. —-Mix a tea spoonful of sweet oil, and half a tea spoonful of spirits of turpentine. After shaking them well together, lay tho hog down with tho affected' car up and pour this mixturo into his ear, holding in that situation a moment or two, until it gets woli into the head. No further atten tion is necessary. The ouo who furnish ed this recipe said “I have not lost a hog thus treated in seven years ” Kidney Worm. —This is nothor dis ease fatal to hogs. The first symptoms are a weakness of the loins and legs, and if not checked, is followed by a general prostration of tho whole body. As soon as tho first symptoms appear, copperas given at tho rate of .[- to tablesponful daily, for one or two weeks, will general ly effect a cure. Spirits of turpentine rubbed on tho loins is very good. Tiie Itcu or Mange —This is not very dangerous, but a “mangy hog will never thrive. Soapsuds well applied with a stiff scrubbing brush is a l oir edy. A running stream to wallow in, or plen ty of clean white straw, will effect a euro in time. Coughs. —For coughs and inflamma tion of the lungs, bleeding should bo resorted to, followed with light doses of soino purgative medicine, one, or half (according to size) drachm of nitre. These are the principal ailments of hogs, except tho debility occasioned in somo cases for tho want of necessary food. Tho remedy in that case is to feed thorn. N. B.—One of tho best places for bleeding a hog is in tho roof of tho mouth. *- ♦ a— GENERAL GARTRELL DECLINES. Atlanta, Juno IG, 1870 Editors Atlanta Constitution: After mature deliberation L havo con eluded to withdraw my name from tho list of gentlemen heretofore suggested as suitable persons to bo presented to tho Approaching Convention for the of fico of Governor. From present ap pearances I fear the contest for nom ination will bo an exciting one, and Ia ui unwilling to enter into a heated contest for any office. The harmony and suc cess of the Democratic party in the State and throughout tho Union, at this time, are of paramount importance, and the triumph of true Democratic principles in the election to office of able, compe tent andfaithful public servants, pledg ed to retrenchment, economy and ro form, will be of moro advantage to tho people at large than the elevation to of fice of any particular individual. Asa private citizen, desiring the welfare and prosperity of tho people, I shall strive to accomplish these ) esulta. In with drawing from the contest, as J. now do, I take this occasion to state that I shall ever hold in grateful remembrance tho many warm and generous personal and political friends in all sections of tho Stato who havo manifested their prefer ences for me for this high and responsi ble posilion, and also to express my warm thanks to tho -members of tho press for the kind and complimentary terms in which they have been pleased to allude to my name. lam tally yours, L.

LABOR IN THE GARDEN A poor old man, having to use a crutch to help him along, sat down on the grass in Detroit, his back against a close board fence, to nibble at a hard biscuit. It wasn’t long before ho realized that tho owner of tho place behind him was work ing in the garden, assisted by Ills cs - timable wife. “That’s no way to make an onion bed!” tho old man heard the husband’ call out. Perhaps not; you know all about gardening ! ’ mocked the wife. “I’ve made more onion beds than you ever heard of!” ho hoarsely said. “Made ’em sitting on a chair in a saloon, didn’t you 1” she squeaked. “Go to blazes with your old garden 1” ho yelled, throwing down his hoc. “When women make bread;” said Quiz, moralizing over an underdone bis cuit at tho breakfast table—“ When women make bread, a curious phenome non often results ; you find a little dear bringing fourth a little dough.” Here is a soliloquy of a Parisian ine briate, address to liis hat, which had fallen off: “If I pick you up, I fall; if I fall you will not pick me up—then I leavo you.” And ho staggered proudly away.
