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. •■•'1 ’ : < NEW BOOKS. Sf Ruby’s Husband.

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, occupy the highest places in the govemme: trickery and fraud are matters of merit, a crime finds aneenre asyhyp. ” t 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.

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 sion of' the Georgia Senators by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

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. .
