Mr. Caudle—Mr. Caudle, I say: olt! you can’l bu asleep already, I know— Now, what I mean to say Is litis; there’s no use, none at all, in our having any dis turbance aboi-’t the matter; but at last my mind’s made, Mr. baurilfe; l shall lea+eyou. Either I know all you’ve been doing to night, or to morrow morning I quit the house. No, no; there’s an end to the mat riage state. I think—an end of all confidence between man and wife, if a husband’s to have secrets and keep ’em all to himself— Pretty secrets they must be, when, his own wife can’t know’em. Not fit fdr adv de* cent person to know. I’m sure, if that’s the case. Now, Caudle, don’t let us quarrel, there’s a good soul, tell me what’s it all a bout? A pack of nonsense, I dare say; still—not that I care much about if—still, I should like to know. There’s a dear. Eh? Oh don’t tell tne there’s nothing in it; I know belter. I’m not a tool, Caudle; I knaw there’s a good dedl in it. Now Cau dle; just tell me a little bit of it. Pin sure Pd tell you anything. You know I would. Well? “Candle, you’fe enough to vex a saint! Now, don’t you think you’re going to sleep; because you’re not. Do you suppose id ever suffered you to go and be made a ma son, if I didn’t suppose 1 was to know the secret too? Now that it’s anything to know I dare say; and that’s wh? I’m determined to know iti “But ! Iknow what it is ;oh yes; there Can be no doubt. The secret is, to ill use poor women; to tyra’nniseover ’em; to make ’em your slaves; especially yoOr wives.— It must be something of the sort, of you wouldn’t be ashamed to have it known What’s right and proper never need be done in seCiel. It’s an insult to a woman for a man to be a free mason, and let his wifejtnow nothing ofit. But, poor soul! she’s sure to know it somehow—for nice hus bands they all make. Yes, yes; a part of the secret is to think better of all the world than their own wives and famines. I’m sure men have quite enough to care for.-*- that is, if they act properly—to care for them they have at home. They can’t have much care to spare for the world besides. “And I suppose they call you Brother Caudle? A pretty brother, indeed i Going and dressing your self up in an apYon like a turnpike man, for that’s what you look like. And 1 should like to know what the apron's for? There must be something in it not very respectable, I’m sure. Well, l only wish I was Q,ueen lor a day or two. I’d put an end to tree masonry, and fell such tiumpery 1 know. “Now, coin eCaudle, don’t let’s quarrel. Eli/ you’re not in pain dear? What’s it all about? What are you lying laughing there at? But I’tn a fool to Double my head about you. “And you’re not going to'le( me know’ the secret, eh? You mean to say,—you’re not? Now Caudle, you know its a hard matter to put me in a passion— not that I care about the secret itself; no f would’nt give a button to know it, for it’s all’ non sense I’m sure: It isn’t the secret I cate about; it’s the slight, Mr. Caudle; it’s’ the studied insult that a man pays lo his wife, wheh'he thinks of going through the wotlil keeping something to himself which he won’t let her know. Man and wife ohe, indeed! I should like to know bow that can COLUMBUS, GA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 30, 1843. be when a man’s a mason—when he keeps a secret that seta him and his wife apart? Ha, you men make the laws, and so you, take gcod care to have all the best of ’em to yourselves; otherwise a woman ought to be allowed a.divorce when a matt becomes a mason. When he’s got a sort of corner cupboard in his heart—a secret to place in his mind—jhat his poor wife isH’t allowed to rummage I “Caudle; you shan't close your eyed for a week —no, you shan’t—unless you tell me some of it. Come, there’s a good crea ture; there’s a love. I’m sure, Caudle, I wouldn't retuSe you any thins—and you know it, or oilglit to know it by this lime. I only wish I had a secret! To whom should I think of confiding it, but to my dear husband? I should be miserable to keep it to myself, and you know it. Now, Cau dle ? “Wad there eve? such a man! A man, indeed! A brute!—yes, Mr. Caudle, an un feeling, brutal creature, when you might oblige me, and you won’t. I’m sure I don,t object to yoiir being a mason; not at ail, Caudle; I dare sdy it’s a very good thing ; 1 dare say it is—it’s tjnly your making a se. fcret of it that vexes me. But you’ll tell me —you’ll tell yotir own Margaret? You won’ll You’re a wretch, Mr. Caudle. “But 1 know why; oh, yes, I can tell.— The fact is, you’re ashamed to let me know what.a fool they’ve been making of you. That’s it. You, at your time of life—the father of a family. I should be ashamed of myself, Caudle. “And I suppose you’ll be going to what you cal) your Lodge fevery night, now.— Lodge, indeed! Pretty place it must be, where they don’t admit women. Nice go ings on, I dare 6ay. Then you call one an bther brethren. Brethren ! I’m sure you’d fela’.ions enough, you didn’t want any more. “Btit! know what all this masonry’s SboUt. It’s only an exfcuse to getaway from yotir wives anti families, that you may feast and dtink, together, that’s all.— That’s the secret. And to ttbuse women, —as if they wete inferiot animals, and not to be trusted. That’s the secret; and noth ing else. “Now, Caudle don’t let us qutsfrLl. Yes; I know you’re in pain.

Misname was La man Blanchard, and his contributions to the London Punch were among the best arti cles published in that paper. The “Cur tain Lectutes” were written whilst itis wife was lying at Ihe point of death, and his heart was fi led with affliction. So it is.— The reader who liugbs over the sallies of wit, H.lle dteatns that what excites his mirth are often wrung from a brain afflicted with despair. Blanchard was of a most amiable and tree disposition, remarkable for his high social qualities. Ills companionable spirit, and great neatness of dress. And yet with all these he was utiliFpfty. afid in a fit of delirium, cothmitted suicide by citulrig his throat. The “Lectures,” however; lidvp, been continued by another hand.—/fu//. Patriot ■ We translate this extract from the correspondence of our piquant contemporary Le Cottrier des Etuis Unis. —.Veto York Gazette: A singular mistake deranged a little the last ball given by the Duke de Nemours!— Throughout the Carnival he Itrd given alter nately a ball and a concert. For these double fetes of the “Pavillion Marsan,” there were two seperate lists of invitations. Upon the one destined for the concerts wore found the names of all those of the Prince’s society distinguished by the importance of their po. eilions, and the maturity of their age; upon the other figured the young and gay*-the flowers and ,the butterflies—so far nothing could be better. The regent presurnative not choosing to receive every body at once treated each according to his character and his rapacity? his saloons were always filled with an assembly perfectly appropriate to the occasion, and the courtiers were loud in their admiration of the tact, tffe discernment and the good taste displayed in these tetfis, but tlie last ball has closed their mouths. At the hour fixed for receiving, the pavement of of the Carrousel resounded with the noise of carriages and horses, the doors of the saloons were opened, the orchestra was in itd place and the guests arrived; then were seen to enter high and mighty dames, very respecta ble no doubt but very stout, and grave func tional iesjvery devoted, but 100 ponderous to be capable of any other tbdn political pirouettes and entrechats. This formidable acant garde was received with su-prise, but those who followed appeared to be chit out upon abso lutely the same pattern. There had been a mistake in the list; The guests of the con cert hrfd been invited to the ball. A gener al stupor seemed to pervade the rooms ; every one looked at his neighbor with an air of pro found despair; consternation was painted up on every countenance. The orchestra winch had been ordered to play the first quadrille at half past nine, commenced punctually at the hour appointed; At this strangi signal the assembly shuddered, but every countenance remained unmoved, nobody stirred, and the embarrassment increased. What is to be done! Shall we sit here till midnight listen ing to qtiadrilles and polkas'? That would be intolerable ; besides, th'e Prince gives a ball; add a ball there must be. What is’ the use of being a courtier,” if onb .Cannot bend to the necessiiy of tlie moment? This reflec tion decided the more intrepid ; a quadrille of eight was’ formed ; we will not say what num ber of years’ vfas represented by Ihe aggregate of lhe?f ages; never was there seen an older or more extraoidinary qmdrille. Legs long sincehors de combat invoked their ancient elasticity; the spectators preserved their gravity, and the dance was performed tant buien que mil, with painful efforts and little enjoyment* but immediately afterwards the pithless orchestra gave the signal for a waltz! and how well did those who executed it merit the highest favors and the greatest rewards ! The example once given, ail piqued them selves upon th’e following it with complete abnegation, of self and the most heroic reso lution. No one hbsitatetfon account of hid age, bis weight or Itis dignity. It was a spectacle a* onCe painful and amusing. All daubed as ..a act of civil courage, and tilt's sfftgular bill lasted until the ordinary hour of retiring. The recollection of the fate fete at the “Pavillirm Mfarsan” will long remain en graved upon the mem try of those who ware pfesent. Mbstof tbem’comracted there, kinks in the back, of which they are” not yet cured. Happily sos them, the seasolt is over, for there is no dancing at’ this Chateau during Lent. Pleasures of tiietiFe.— l’obacco’s a fine thing for the heart! Many’s the time when I tn alone, if I had’nt the pipe I’d be low and sorrowful—thinking over the hard times, and the like, but when I’ye filled my dudeen, and do be watching the smoke curling up, I be gin db.-eaming about sitting arbutld tlie fire with pleasant companions, chatting away and discoorsing,and telling stories; and then I invint the stories to myself aboutsquare devils of pipers travelling over the country, making love here and there, and playing dliroll tunes out of their own heads; and then 1 mane the tunes to then!; and after that maybe, 1 make words,’ and sometimes lav down the pipe and begin singing to myself; and often 1 take tip the bagpipes and play away with all my might till 1 see thedarlingest little fairies ever yoti seen, dancing before ine,’ setting to one ano ther and turning round, and capering away —down the middle and up again: small chaps with three cornered hats, and wigs, and red coats, all slashed with goold ; and beautiful little craytures houlding their petticoats this way, to show a nate leg and foot; and I do be calling out to them, ‘Hands round —that’s your sowl’—‘look at the green fellow, ‘tis himself can do it’—‘rise the jig, fioo!’ find faix, ’tis sorry enough I’m when they go, find lave me by myself.”— Tom Burke if OurS‘.

Front the New England Farriieri DISCOVERING DEFICIENCIES IN So?LS. Mr. Editor— Our scientific friends who (to their credit being said,) lecture and write tor the laudable purpose of instructing the farmer in the philosophy of his art, and td show him the conditions upon which depends his best success in the pursuit ofhis business, frequently dwell upon and explain the im portance of his knowing in what properties his soil is deficient, so that he can supply them, and thuß increase his crops. Now, in reference to this desideratum 1 ask— How can tpe do it ? Farmers— real working farfflefs—such as cbrrlpose the great ritass of otir yeoriiaiiry cannot be supposed to be analytical chemists! thfcy have neithef the knowledge nor the means requisite to analyte their soils, nor the pecuniary ability to pay the professed chemist for doing it.” To ascertain, as wo Sre told we shbuld’ whether ottr soils are deficient in lime, gyp, sum, soda, po'.ash, &c., seems lo me no easy matter for one who is not vefsed in chemis try—and I ask, Ho to can we do it ? The importance of the thing I fully appre ciate, and would fain accomplish it, t! I knew any simple way of doing it; but 1 cannot, for the best of reasons, set myself down td attain the knowledge requisite to enable me td ana. lyze soils according to the principles of chemistry. True, we need to lcirn—it is much for our interest to iearn—what deficiencies exist in our sods, which common manure cannot supply—but, How can we do it ! Verv respectfully, yours, PE LEG PLOUGHSHARE. Siliilhi'Ule, March 18, 1845. ft is very true,’ as “Peleg” says, that it is not in the power of farmers generally to ana lyse their sdils ftrthe important purpose of detecting and supplying deficiencies; and perhaps fio better course could be recom mended for sucli to pursue to attain this end, than to make experiments otf a small scale with such Bt!bstanceß as our correspondent mentions, and if an’y beneficial effefct results from the use of any particular substance, as gypßum, ashes, or bones, then, on the samd kind of soil, an extensive use of that sub stance may be made. , The mixing of different tiinda of soil; in the compost heap or directly on the field tie sired to be improved; is one of the surest and cheapest ways of amending a particular soil. To ascertain whether a soil is deficient in lime, Dr. G. R Smith, of Maryland,’ gives the following directions : “Take a handful heie and there from the whole field, say twenty handsful in all; mix we!l together, then take a handful from the whole mixture, pift it upon a shovel, and heat it red hot; then lake it from the fire and let it cool ; when cold, pulverize it to a fine powder, and pour upon it good cider vinegar; muriafe acid is best, but vinegar, if good, will do.) If it foams considerably, you want no time in the soil ‘ if it do not foam, then lime is wanted.” To learn what deficiencies probably exist in a long cultivated soil, it is important to know the constituents of the crops which have beert taken from it —then the particular mat ters which have been extracted, may be re turned in some form or other, as in bones, silicia,ashes, gypsum. Much valuable infor mation has been given on this subject in orig ?naf and selected articles which have appear ed ?n our pages within a few years past, and our correspondent will Pud some useful hints upon it in Dr. Jackson’s remarks commented in our last number and continued in this. Fof more satisfactory and valuable infor mation on the subject of his inquiries than is here given, we refer our correspondent to Professor Johnson’s instructive Lectures on Agrfcultufal Chemistry—'-a work which eve ry farmer in “Smithvillo” and elsewhere; should own, who can read and reason'. Georgia Silk. — A few days ago we were shown by the editor of the Southern Cultivator, sorrfe specimens of sewing silk, of eight dtfleieiil colors, .grown and manu factured by Mr. Hugh Cassidey, of Effing ham county. It appeared to be of superior quality, and for fine color and b'eauty of appearance, would compare favorably with a similar article produced anywhere. These specinrens nVa'y be examined at tlie store of Messrs. Newton & Lucas. We understand that Mr. Cassidey propo ses to purchase dny quantity at cocoons, nt fair prices. Messrs. Newton & Lucas have already advertised, that they will purchase the same article at this place. Wo are gra. tified to see the inducements thus held out for the prosecution'of this branch of indus try, which, we doubt not, will open a ffew and profitable field of labor. Many who cannot raise cotton to’ advantage, can rear cocoons, wliish will am'ply compensate fh'ent for their time and labor; and ibis bu siness, if Vigorously prosecuted, will add not a little to the wealth of our State. This is no idle speculation—its truth has been demonstrated by experiment. There never has been’ a more favorable time to com mence the business on an extended scale,’ and we hope that all who can do so’ ■frill avail themselves of title opportunity. [Athens lit rider. [VQL. V.—NO 18. GEORGIA CASTOR OIL. Tlie following extract of a letter from Dr. Means; giving an account of the pro duction of Castor Oil, by Joshua Willis, Esq., of this county, we copy from the Southern Medical arid Surgical •Journal for April; Castor Oil, maufactuKei: in Georgia. —While the great staple of the south has become a drug upon the markets of the world, and its extensive cultivation is dis coufaged by the consequent reduction in price, the public mind lias been fortunately constrained to direct its attention lo other ample and, hitherto, uuappteciated (acuities completely within its reach—furnished by our bold and effective water-falls, diversified soil; and delightful variety of climate, and promising eqal usefdlness, and a better re muneration For an equivalent outlay of labor and expense. Actuated as we suppose, with these views,’ our worthy and enleprising Tiend, Mr. Josh ua Willis, of Troup county, Ga., has aban doned the cultivation of Cotton , and success fully commenced the growth of the Ricinis Communis, or Palma Christi (the Castor Oil Plant.) During the past year, he manufac tured about 1500 gallons of oil, which was hiostly, (we believe) purchased by the drug gists and physicians of Columbus; and the! circumjacent country. We were favored with specirriens of the article referred to, and cannot but regard it as fair and beautiful oil—almost destitute of color, or smell, arid with as little of the un pleasant flavor peculiarto Castor Oil Bean,as lis consistent vvith*an undaulteraled prepara, tion. Clear, bland, free from raficidhyj and without any foreign admixlure, it constitutes an admirable article for domestic use, and in our hands, manifested mildly, hut effec tively, its cailiartic property. The East In dies have heretofore furnished probably seven-eights of all the oil tonsuined in Eng land, but for the last several years, American Oil; derived chiefly from the the British Col onies add the western States, lias been ex ported to that country, to the amount perhaps of from fifty to eighty thousand porinds an nually. The latter article, though confess edly ot fine qualities; and possessing a flavor superior to the East India Oil, has yet been regarded as objectionable on account of the deposit (in cold weather) of a white flaxy matter, which some have supposed lo be Margaraiine—a flatty salt, consisting of the two proximate constituents, Margahitic Acid and Glycerine. Others have supposed It to be the result of adulteration from Olive oil; which is known, at low temperatures, to de posit what Pelonze and Soudet regard Ihe Margarite and Oleate cffllyceril (the Hy drated Oxide of Glycerine)— an unlißelv supposition, however, in our estimation, as most of the latter oil is imported into tnis coutftry from the south of Europe, and at too high a price to warrant,the fraud cf admix ture with the Castor (Jil designed for expor tation. We are rather Inclined belief thSt such deposits, so frequently found tii the American article, is from the liberal admix ture of animal oil (Adeps Suillus) which does not sustain its fluidity unrier from 78.5 deg. to 87.5 deg. This may, perhaps, ac count for the rancid and acrid nature of some of the Castor Od of Commerce, as the Oleine of the Lard; readily becomes rancid, i. c: acquires a disagreeable odor, and acid pro perties, by exposure to the Oxygen of the atmosphere. Indeed the deposit of Margar atine, from Castor Oil, if any, should be ex ceedingly sttia'l, as not more than 002 of tlie entire products of sabonification consist of Margaratiic Acid. Tlie oil manufactured by Mr. Willis, we believe, fully sustains the truth of this Litter remark, and as a specimen of southern en tpiprise, alike honorable to his skill and in dustry,’ coirirhends itself to public confidence and popular use. Mr. W. will be prepared tn execute large orders this fall arid winter, and assures lia tffai“it shall riot cost tfiqfe to druggists or other purchasers, whom lie tuny sdpply, fh'ari’ tee best Article does from any other quarter,” and all be asks is, that, other things being equal, home manufacture may have the preference. A. MEANS. NEGLECTED AGRICULTURAL PRO DUCTS. ‘t’he last annual report of the Hon. 11. L. Ellsworth, commissioner of patents, recom mends a variety of neglected agricultural produejs to the attention of farmers. The first of these productions mentioned is the Symphytum Officinale, or Pricklcy Comficy. “If all that has been written of this plant be (rue,” remarks Mr. Ellsworth, “it would seem to deserve the riltenfion, as likely to, prove a valuable acquisition to ou? farthers.” Cat tle of every kind are said lo be (bund of it.— An acre of i‘, with proper care,'may be made to produce thirty tons of green foliage in'one year. The growth is so rapid as to Xfiord two cuttings in one year. The root; it is said, should be harvesfed but once in (wo years; and will yield two thousand four hun dred bushels per acre. The root is greedily devoured by catfle. The Jeruselert t Arti choke is also recommended as food for cattle. It is very much prized (n Europe, where it sometimes yields more than two hrindred bushels of roots per acre. The leaved and stalks, cut up’ when green with other fodder, are much relished by cattle, and forqt a very nurritivo food so? milch cows. The Corn Splirry is recommended as a suitable cover ing for poor sandy soils. If is veij easily cultivated; and produces an abundance of pasture. It grows in England, in sandy fields’ eight ot ten inches high. K plaft’t called the Boklmra. Clober received s’n extended no tice in the report. Mr. Taylor, who present ed it to the royal agricultural society o( Eng land, staifed that though planted by him in the spring, it grew luxuriantly up lo the lat ■er part of September, when it was four feet high :’ and the stalks were matured into strong and durable hemp. It stands the win ter well, flowers in June, and is Covered about the middle ol July with’ a fragrant white b!< ssom. It should be harvested in the latter part of September.’ It is a valui ble green food for ca':fl<), and if cut wheti fifteen nr twenty inches high, would furnish a food superior; fu tile common herbage plant. Liuccrni,’ Saufain, Millet, Hnd Vetches, have never been tested as they should be in the United States. The TusSac Grass, an in digenous product, large and sedgy—the Guano Grass, a native of the prairies of the ChiKtaw country—and 1 the 4 rundo Grass, are declared lobe of inestimable wotlh.— Spicial notice its taken of a cabbage from France, called the Aryou Cabbaged Tn An jou they grow seven and eight feet, and sometimes evin nine feet high.

Ar farmer in-Ohio has grown on an acre two thousand pounds, iitd be believesthat the product may be exten ded to,three thousand pounds, which is great er than the average crops of Germany and Holland. To work an acre, from eighty td one hundred days are required, and a crop is not repeated until it is three years old.

By anew process of steam, tho tanni.t principle is now extracted from the bark, and reduced to k email compass. It may therefore be easily exported. Olives are easily cultivated in the Buutbern States. A gentleman in Mississippi Has a tree in bis garden, which at five years old-produced fruit and was as large as trees in Europe usually are at eight. The tree in this country yields a fair crop at four years old for oil, and at f? as much as it usually do duos in Europe lit twenty. The tree is of great longevity, liv ing lo be one ffcridred to two hundred years old, and it may be grown with profit as far north as the Carolmas. Anew Variety of Tobacco, lately introduced into Virginia from Califuinia has several advantages over the common varieties. The plants arb sooner ready sos transplanting, and they mature more rapidly by len or fifteen days than she varieties in voguS. The leafis broad arid silken; arid is, when cured; of abeaui.fjl color. —[Western Gardner <f- Farmer: EXPERIMENTS IN PLANTING. The ad vantages of free admission of light and free circulation of air, to the growth of plants, are in a good degree obvious to per. eons of any experience in agriculture. So important are these influences lo Indian corn that an advantage is known to result front giving the widest sfiafetf to rows running north and south. This more retidily admits the light and heat of the sun, tflkn rows redoing in a contrary direction. It litis beeti sug gested tiiat planting corn and potatoes iri I alternate rows; or in alfb'fnatiofi of two rows each, would give greater aggregate product lor a given extent of land, ihan if each Croji were pla. tcdentirely by itself.

Manufactures ot 1 the south; There is no mistaking the tendency of public opinion on th'B important topic. The Success which lias attended the efforts of those who tiafre ventured their capital anq labor in manufaciufbs at the Eolith, has at last opened the eyes hi the comrridnity; and but for the difficulty of ralhef impossibility, of changing the vested capital of the country, we should see rush into this new field of labo* which’ wofcld astonish the wofld. As it is, there is t:o doubt but a great amount of capital and labor will be thrown itito manu facturce at the Eolith. Every paper we re ceive froth cb'tton gfowihg region seems alive to the importance of th’is subject; and many contain notices of the rise of new establish ments in various brandies of this almost un tried field. The e!tper(ment is aboutto be fairly tried, and we feel no feat thht a coun try capable of raising cottbn at four cents per pound; can fail in competition wish thd industry of any part of the world. From Virginia to’ Mississippi; tfi'e invest-’ ments iri manufactures arc in rapid progress.’ Large amounts are going into the production of iron and its manufacture into the useful articles it supplies. The manufacture of wool and cotton is now claiming the first aG tenlion, and has already made a progress little suspected by most persons. The a mount of cotton spun and woven in manu facture!! south MLhc Potomac cannot fait short ot fiftf ih'dWknd bales. This is more fhari ten per cent, of she amount manufac tured in the United States. This proportion will be greater at the south’ from year to year and we look to a day now neaifathand,’ when the manufactures of these Plates will be considered of importance to tbb commerce of the world. The position of pus State, in this change of the industrial pursuits of the South, is a matter of pleasing regard to us. The cty of Athens, has the honor and the prqfit of hav ing led off ifi this departmknf of labor. Like a Northern manufacturing tbwn she has her railrnad a’nd her factories in full operation; and like them ljer condition is flourishing,’ amidst the decline and deiapidaiion of other places'. Her position is a little remote froni the cotton region,'but the want of a sufficient water power is her great hmderance arid puts a limit to her operations. The scattering establishments m other parts of the State ’ dre founded on the eelfish plans too common in this region. They ire placed ott streams’ too small to allow of a great business, and wiH therefore languish, as at) solitary at tempts at works decidedly social in their na ture must do. No mistake is more fatal than that which locates a manufactory alone.’ If mayforatire'e flourish, but can never sustain the competition which great communities of manufactories will bring forth. Our principal rivers yield the besf sites for thpee enterprises, at their principal shoals. The Chattahoochee, at Columbus, yields a vast power almost without labor dr expense. It is coming rapidly into use. and that city is destined to have a name in the great business of manufacturing. We think her location, however, less favorable than the cities having ait easier communication with the Atlantic. I lie city of Augusta is making an important mov *. T’ subject. Hep noble river does not, Tike the Ci-auahoochee, tumble over a ledge of graniie on her commons; but her Wealthy citizens, her banks, (givan the mo nopoly by our legislature) and her corporate authorities, have invoked the aid of science to remedy the defect. This can. and we have no doubt will, be effected, and the city of Augubta will fir.d herself supplied with a water power niisurpassed. Milledgeville,’ too, is beginning te'pfefceive the dawn of a better dav. Her AVer, like the Savannah, lets itself down otrer its shoals by gradual descents, but they are easily over come by science, and a‘water power l equal to any other may be commanded. Several of our vyeallliy citizens are, we understand,- making a movement on this subject. We 4)TU£t, l heir .plans will be made to Concentrate a great water poWer. This is the hingd of success. Ft takes a community to matte a manufac!tiring town. No company tior no individual has wealth enough to’ effect it. Lowell was'begun by a company, but has not risen to? its present •greatndss except by the aid of niahy independent companies. So’ it will be here. A free scope to private en'- tdrprise must be given, or this source of in dustry and pr, fit will be transferred to v ne places.— Georgia Union
