PROPOSED CONTINUATION OF THE
ATLANTIC AND GULF RAILROAD TO
MARIANNA, FLORIDA.
A writer in the Marianna Courier is urging
the construction of a branch, of the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad from Bainbridge to that
place, a distance of some forty miles. All
that would be necessary to accomplish this
work would be for the citizens of the rich
planting centres in Florida, interested in ob
taining an outlet for their, produce to Savan
nah, to grade and run the road from Marian
na to the Chattahoochee, at which point th e
writer is assured the Company would meet
-their work, and bear half the expenses' of
ciossing that river. The writer thinks the
giading and cross-tieing could be accom
plished by contributions of labor, and that
the iron could be procured with little trouble
or inconvenience by enterprising citizens of
ti e counties interested] He adds:
“ There is another way in which this work
could be done, viz: by arousing our planting
community to an exertion that need not be
put forth in vain, to increase oar yield of cot-
t. n from ten to ^fifteen thousand bales. It
should be remembered that our county is the
garden spot of Florida, and that it is capable
c-f producing more of the great staples of the
country than any of the counties contiguous
to her either in Georgia or in Florida; and
lmving long enough been under the heel of a
despotism too contemptible ever to name, it
is high time that our citizens put forth their
strength in something like uniformity of ac
tion, and take the position which. they for
merly occupied in the planting world. This
being done, and onr fields once more bloom
ing as in days gone by, and our storehouses
and barges and cross-road stores being crowd
ed with • the staple,’ we conld remain at home
and see the road making its way towards our
smiling fields, anxious to bear away ‘the
golden fleece’ of the products of Jackson,Pale
and Hemy c6unties." —‘“i-
The section of Florida embraced in the
counties named ip one of the most productive
regions of the State, and its trade would be a
valuable acquisition to the road and to Savan
nah. It is therefore to be hoped that the
proposed enterprise will receive every possi
ble aid and encouragement. The closing
proposition of the writer in tidt,Courier is cer
tainly both safe and practical. Let the plant
ers make the cotton, and if the mountain
cannot come to Mahomet, Mahomet, in due
time, will find a way to go to the mountain.

Affairs in Cuba.—According'to mail ad
vices from Havana, of a jati9;daifo Balma-
szda is not on good terms with the Captain
General, and is anxious to be relievedl ' The
latter has interfered very materially in Bal-
maseda’s plans for carrying on the war. Leb-
sunpi is anxious to leave the island without
the blemish of any military executions on bis
name, and so has determined to have none.
More reinforcements have arrived at Ha
vana from Spain. Bayamo is now held by a
few men only, nearly all the insurrectionists
being in the field. They still continue in the
neighborhood of Manzanillo. Rumors have
reached Havana . of an engagement between
the troops and insurgents in the vicinities of
Holquin, Santiago de Cuba and Bayamo,
The New York Herald's Havana letter of the
12th says it is a fact that a gigantic insurrec
tion exists throughout the Island of Cubai
and that it is supported or countenanced by
the great mass of the native population. The
ultimate success of a movement to make
Cuba free and independent is how consid
ered by the best informed and unprejudiced
persons as not improbable^ ■'
The New York Tribune says “that in Van
Dieman’s Laud “the most notorious criminals,

Can it be possible that the Tribune and its
party have taken Van Dieman’s Land as a
model for imitation.' They have been busily
engaged for 'the last eight'years ih recon
structing the government, and it seems al
most impossible that a coincidence sc remark
able between the condition of things which,
they have ■inangurated. and the moral status
of Van Dieman’s Land, as described by the
Tribune,-could be theresult of accident and
not of design. Years ago the Tribune pro-

GOLD AND COTTON.
A bale of cotton, Says the Mobile Register,
is pro tardn a bale of gold—that is to say, it is
a commodity that commands gold in’all the
markets of the world except the Southern mar
kets. What becomes of it when it is ready for
sale t It is swapped for greenbacks and sent
to the North. What does the North do with
it? It rises it as gold in paying its foreign
mercantile balances and keeping up the na
tional credit abroad. There is not the least
objection to this use of it by the North for its
own and Government benefit, but there is an
objection to the North paying the planter in
paper while it sells, it for gold. The planter
should demand gold for a gold article. This
is the cash system recommended by the Na
tional Board of Trade Convention at Cincin
nati, and to the South it is simply the just
system And thin is essentially true, apnrt
from all political considerations. As it is, we
are simply fools at the South for crippling
our business and industry by consenting to
use on irredeemable and daily fluctuating pa-
per currency, when we can have gold i
ask it, for the convenience of a Government;
and people who; have treated - us os moral
lepers ’ and political outcasts ever since we
made an honorable surrender of arms. The
good things that have fallen in our way South
the last eight years are few and far enough
between, and if a gold currency and all its
fertilizing consequences is witbii our reach,
let no mawkish sensibility or contracted no
tions of financial economy induce ns to pre
termit it - _ _
The Georgia Senators.—The Washington
correspondent of the New York- Times says:
No action has yet been taken on the admis

Judiciary Committee. Leading Senators,
however, appear to he in favor of allowing
them to take their Beats, and it is more than
probable that that course will be adopted.

When the pure
known as Wolfe’s Sohiedam Schnapps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of four thou
sand leading members of the medical profession some
20year8 ago, its proprietor was well aware that it
could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all
new and'usefill preparations.' He, therefore, endeav
ored to invest it with strongest possible safeguards
against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to
pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to
distinguished cheminsts for analysis, and pronounced
by them the purest spirit ever manufactured,
rity and properties haying been thus ascertain* .
pies.of the article were forwarded to ten thousand
physicians, including all th« leading practitioners ih
the United States, for purposes of experimen.
circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a re
port of the result, accompanied each spedment. Foot
thousand of the most eminent medical men in the
Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the
article were unanimously favorable. 8uch a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profes
sion, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary
liquors of commerce, all of which were more or
adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes.
The peculiar excelence and strength of the oil of juni
per, which formed one of the principle ingredients of
the Schnapps, together with, an unalloyed character of
the alcoholic element, give it, in the estimation of the
faculty, a marked superiority over every other
diffusive stimulant as a diuretic tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men of the highest rank were published in a con
densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the
Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuine
ness. Other precautions against'fraud were also
adopted; a patant was obtained for the article, the
lable was copywrighted, a fac simile of the proprietor’s
autograph signature was. attached to each lable and
cover, his name and that of the preparation were
bossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed i
his private seal. No article had ever been sold in this
country under the nanie of. Schaspps prior to the in
troduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
in 1851; and the lable was deposited, as his trade maxfc,
in the United States District Court' for the Southern
District of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with
the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that the protections so
carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have
precluded the introductions and - sale of counterfeits.
They seem, however, only to have stimulated the
rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprie
tor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schie
dam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medi
cal profession has been claimed by mendacious hum
bugs; bis labels and bottles have been imitated, his ad
vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and
worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing
of the genuine contents of bis bottles, have filled them
up with common gin, , the most deleterious of all
liquors, and thus made his name and brand a cover
for poUK>&- i *** 1 Jn sl\lf iOT
The public, the medical profession and the sick, for
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed
as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprie
tor in the detecfcionand suppression of these nefari
ous practices. The genuine article, manufactured at
the establishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam,
Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality,
and flavored with an essential extract or the berry of
the Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process
unknown in the preparation of any other liqnor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading
physicians and families ih the Southern Stales of the
sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are In
the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful in
fluence of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap
gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed
off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned
have been requested to institute, inquiries on the sub
ject, and to forward to him the names of such parties
as they may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocious
system of deception. -In conclusion, the undersigned
would aay that he has produced, from under the hands
of the most distinguished men of science in America
proofs unanswerable ot the purity and medicinal ex
cellence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he
has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding
it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed
should protect the public and himself against fradulent
imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liquor
in the world that can be uniformly depended upon as
unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation,
analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms;
and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his
name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant
He therfore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens
generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to
denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press
and the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so
great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the
leading physicians and chemists of tUs city Win prove
to the reader that all goods sold by the undersigned
are all they are represented to be.
