Speaking of the late heavy losses
by-the Northern cotton mill, and lln-
future of cotton manufacturing in the
eolith, the Columbus Pni/iiirtr-iSao
-ays: “If these niaiiufactiirers could
visit our State and our city, they
would liud out tin- meaning of tin
handwriting on the wall. In tin
yard of the Kagle and I'luenix Mills
of this city, growing literally into
the windows of the mill, are splendid
volunteer stalks of cotton. These
came into life, have grown and well
nigh matured without the aid or as
sistance of man. While our river has
been for two weeks past lower than
ever before known, still there lias
been no.lack of "speed” in our mills,
which use the river as power. The
splendor of our climate, the usunl
ijuickncss of the native white labor
and the advantages named in cheap
power, and cotton growing against
the very mill walls can never he over
come by any section of the world. It
may In- news to some of our northern
friends, to know that the Kagle and
Phtenix mills of this city run one
thousand six hundred looms in color
ed good*, and consume about fifty
hales of tliis cheap cotton daily. We
are learning what the abolition of
slavery did for Us. A few more years
and all cotton spinning will In- done

that onr mills report business earlier
and better than for seri-ral years

Mr. Amv, Ga., August IS, 1S78.
Kilitors Albany Xnrs: If we could
only waft you some of the delightful
breezes that sweep down upon us front
the mountains, you would perhaps
have us ranouized, or at least hand
our names down to poste-'ity as pub*
lie benefactors. Mt. Airy Is situated
on a high ridge, seventy-nine mile!
from Atlanta by the Air Line Hail*
road, and is the highest station bet
tween Xew York and Netv Orleans,
being 1,610 feet above the sea level.
A person standing upon the platform
of the cars at the railroad here it
about as elevated as if lie were standi
ing upon Stone uiouulaiii. The hotel
here is the finest, we expect, of any at
the Georgia watering places. It if
built w ith a neat arcade,a la Kimball
House, and is furnished in an elegant
manner. A good crowd has been
here all the summer, and it seems to
he one of the most popular resorts in
the State. On the top of the hotel
stands an observatory from uhieli a
most iiiagnitieeut view is obtained.—
From this point the eye ranges over
a radius of one hundred and fifty
miles; and rests upon a wide stretch
of meadow and hill that rises gradu
ally into a range of mountains tluil
piled tier upon tier, lifting their sum
mits into the hlueof heaven, and reach
far, far away until lost in the dim, in
distinct distance. There, twenty miles
away, hut in the clear air seeming to
he just across the woods, Yonali rear-
its proud front to receive gracefully
the crown of cloud that gently rests
upon it. Farther away its ridges ami
l«-aks distinctly seen against the dear
horizon. “Old Tray" looms up. grand,
solemn and eternal, a sentinel hill
among the myriads that cluster
around. Then, a background of the
beautiful Blue Bulge,strctchiiigaway
ill to the Caroliuas, classed one of the
finest views in Georgia.
Arising with the lark this morning
autl mounting a strong limbed horse,
we were soon standing on the summit
of a lfltte peak about two miles dis
tant. Here, in the top of a sturdy
ehesnutoak lias been erected an ob
servatory. C’lanihcriug up the rus
tic, winding steps we soon stood in
the top of the swaying tree, the cool
mountain breeze sending freshness
and vigor into every pulse, autl our
eye- resting upon the lowliest scene it
lias ever been our joy to behold. We
will not try to picture it; nothing hut
thc^vivid reality, with all its charm
ing freshness and indescribable
beauty, can give any idea of its gran
deur. It is incomparable the suh-
limest sight we have ever witnessed.
Of the many rare landscapes offered
to the eye by this far-fainetl-“Switz
erland of America," we are sure none
can surpass this.
The Air Line Road has accom
plished wonders in the development
of this beautiful and great country.—
But three years ago it was almost a
wilderness. Xow it is yearly visited
by thousands, who find in it irresist-
ahle charms. The Air Line route if
deservedly popular. It is by far the
finest equipped in the State; and a
ride in one of its luxurious coache-,
over the smootli road bed, dashing
along at the rate of thirty miles at>
hour, through charming landscapes,
fanned bv mountain breezes, is in it
self a rare enjoyment. Under tin-
present officers the road is, as far a*
casual observation is able to discover,
not only finely managed, but is an
honor to Georgia, and is fast grow
ing iu popuular favor. -
The resorts along the route are all
tilled with visitors. A run down to
Xew Holland showed that place to In
filled almost to its capacity, with t>
happy, jolly crowd. Miss Ella Bacon,
of your city, and Mr. G. M. Byue, ot
Lee county, were among the familial
faces we -aw among the crowd. ^To
morrow we contemplate a tripovci
to Tallulah. If it- grandeur does not
awe its into complete silence we will
try to tell von in onr next what we
law there. In the meantiine let u c
say to any who contemplate a visit to
tliis section, not to fail, on any ac
count, to -ec the view from Mt. Airy
hotel and Grilliu mountain. L. W.

Letter From Chicago.
THE BIISV, BUSTLING WESTERN CITY—
SOME OE THE. SIGHTS.
Chicago, Ii.l., Aug. 13,1878.
Editor* Albany Xeirx : Noticing
several letters to your city from here.
I thought to try and give you a more
complete idea of what Chicago and
the northwest really is, as viewed
from tny standpoint. First, let me
say that I am a Georgian, with all tin-
sympathies for my Southern home
and friends, yet I would hardly cart:
to leave this, my new home, for t
came determined to learn (lie ways,
manner, and above all, to have some
of the push instilled into me. Busi
ness is conducted so different from
whatyou find it in the warm climate
here, each and everyone is pushing,
striving, and really elbowing their
way to the front, for they who wait
for what they may term a favorable
opportunity, are indeed left in the
rear of tliis race after wealth ami
fame.
It one would see il all in a small
space they would only have lo lake ii
visit to onr hoard of Trade rooms,
and see the confusion, lo one uninitia
ted, that prevails iu lltal large hall,
termed the “Exchange." Men of all
even hays, are here.found, deal

these delightful summer aflerniniiis.
Lincoln I’urk—of course has been
heard of—though not quite as grand
as the Central I’tirk of Xetv York'
yet il pleases one more by ils com

Michigan, and extending fully Hvo
miles from end In cud. Here, of an
afternoon, one can witness Ihe pleas
ure-seekers iu every nook and eorner
of Ibis fuvrile resort of Chicago. I
could write a long letter describ
ing Ihe beauties of litis park, hut to
really enjoy it you would have to vis
it it personally.
Besides Lincoln Park, we have the

Jefferson and Central Parks. The
city is so divided Hull each port
il, the north, west anil south sides
have access to two or more parks
without having In travel over a long
distance lo enjoy the afternoons. -
Besides these, we have excursions on
the lake each day and evenings, al
ways accompanied b\ di-IUghlfiil
music.
Our lliealres are models in them
selves, though nol as large as some in
Ihe eastern cities, yet we cun
willi them in the beauty aud elegance
of Hie interior furnishing'
Among the first, places of interest
lo a stranger visiting this city, are the

realize it to see llie way everything is
being conducted. True, there are
many out of employment, but then
Hint is the ease all the time, vet I be
lieve that a person having eiiegy and
willing to do anything he can j;ct in
shape of work, seldom fails to
find employment. I think that is one

Ie.il Eire IV" !
AL 8 o'clock the other morning a
Second street wife followed her hus
band to the gate as he was starting
down town and kindly said to
him :
'William, you know how sadly I
eil a him- limiting dress."
•Yes, dear,” he remarked, “hut you
know how hard up 1 am. As soon
can see m>* way clear, you shall
have the dress, anil a new hat to boot.
Be patient, lie good, and t our reward
shall lie great.!
Forty minutes after that he emerg
ed front a restaurant witli a big bas
ket and a fish pole, hound for up the
river. In the basket was a chicken,
cake, pic kles, fruit pic, and a bottle of
liquid of a rich color, and he was just
" tiling- a twenty cent cigar when his
wife came along.
“What ! you here?" lie exclaimed.
“Yes. 1 was going to the market.—
Where are mu going—what’s ill Ihe
basket ?"
"I was going tv carry this fish pole
nrouiul to a friend on .leflerson ave
nue,” lie modestly answered.
"And Ibal basket?"
“This.gasket—well, 1 was going to
take il to the orphan asylum as a pres-
ut lo the children. It' is a donation
from six leading citizens."
"William. I don’t believe it.”
“Sli! Don’t talk so loud!"
“William, 1 shall talk louder yet!"
he exclaimed. “I’ll bet you arc go
ing fishing!"
Mary, have I ever deceived you?”
he plaintively asked. “I never have.
As proof of my sincerity, you can
lake this basket to the asylum your
self!"
“And I'll doit!” she promptly re
plied, as she relieved him ot it.
“Mary, hadn’t you ?”
“Xo. sir, I hadn’t! You’d better
hurry up witli that fish pole, as the
man may want it, and be caretul
how ynii stand arnutid ill the hot
siiii !”
She left him there. He watched
her take the car for home, and then
he returned the fish pole and cross
ed the street ami said to an acquain
tance—
“Tom, I’m suffering with neuralgia,
and the excursion isntf till next week;
too hail, hut we can never tell what a
day may tiring forth.”
There was chicken and pickles and
other good things on the table at din
ner, hut lie never smiled. Even when
his wife wished she was an orphan, if
Hint was the way she was fed, he nev
er betrayed the gloom in his heart. It
was only when she handed him the
bottle he had so carefully tucked into
the basket, and he saw it labelled,
“Good for Little Children,” that he
said:
"Mary, it is an awful thing fora
wife lo'gct tlic impression thather
husbaiid is a cold blooded liar!”
“H must he,” she replied as she took
the other chicken leg.
What Makes the Man.
Many people seem to forget that
character grows—that it is not some
thing lo put on, ready-made, with
womanhood or manhood; hut day by
day, here a little anil there a little,
grows with the growth and strength
ens with the strength, until, good or
bnd, it becomes almost a coat of mail.
Look at a man of business—prompt,
reliable, conscientious, vet clear head
ed and energetic. When do volt sup
pose he developed all these admirable
qualities? When he was a hoy.
Let us see the way in which a boy
of ten years gets up in the morning,
works,’play, studies, and we will tell
you just what kind of a Ilian he will
make. The hot who is late at break-
last, ami late at school, stands a poor
eliam-e to he a prompt man. The hoy
who neglects his duties, ho ever so
small, and then excuse himself by
saying, “I forgot! I didn’t think!'’
u i’ll never lie a reliable man. And
I In* buy who finds pleasure iu the suf
ferin'' of weaker tilings will never he
a noble, generous, kindly inaii—a geu-
tleliiail.
I’orl iigiicse Courtship.
The young men of INirlugal have
om- occupation more important than
wearing tight boots, and which al
ums!, in fad, goes with il—that of
making (he very mildest form of love
known among men. The young g
llciucii pay their addresses simply hy
standing iu front of the Ionise occu
pied hy the object of their affection
while ihe young person in question
looks down approvingly from an up
per window, and llierc the matter
ends. They are not within speakin
distance, and have to content Hietu-
selves with expressive glances and
dumb show, for it would lie highly
unhei-oiiiiug for Ihe young lady lo al
low a I ii I Ini -iloii x lo tluHcrdowii into
the street, while the laws of gravita
tion stands iu Hie way of the upward
llighl of such a 1101-111111-111, unweight
ed, al least, with a stone, ami this, of
eourse, might risk giving the young
Indy a black eye, or breaking her fa
llicr's w iiulow panes. So the lovers
(here remain often for hours, feeling,
no iloiilil. very happy, lull looking
iiuiiHcrulily foolish. These silrnl
roiirlshipK’ s « til e t i In s continue
for very long periods before the lover
the fatal question,or the lady
reliirn the final answer.
He Wanted to be a Juryman.
Presently the stillness of the court
was Interrupted by the entrance of a
matt who came iti with a shuffling,
uneasy step, with his hat in his hand.
He halted and lenned against the rail
ing. Nobody took the least notice of
him, however. At last he took cour
age and spoke:
“Is the Judge in?”
The clerk tmincdialely invoke His
Honor. “Well, what do von want?”
“I'm lookin’ for a job, yer Honor.
I’ve been lookin’ for work over a
month.”
“There's nothing for you here, sir."
“I thought you occnsiinnlv give ju

“My strong pint is in making-a ju

The Judge told him to call around

Sheep Farming for the South.
Exclusive cotton growing is an un
satisfactory business. It ha9 brought
many planters to bankruptcy, and
more into debt; and the advice is giv
en, “raise corn, grass, anything but
cotton.” The American Agricultu
rist has for many years advocated the
growing of a variety of crops in the
Southern States, to such an extent a
would involve all the planter’s capi
tal and attention. First, food crops,
then crops to consume on the farm,
and then crops to sell. The southern
farmer then has food, meat, manure
aud money; and iu this case, the moil -
cv is more apt to stay with him than
that procured by the sale of cotton,
from which is deducted the cost ot
fertilizers, food interests, etc., and a
very small balance, if any, is left for
the planter and his workmen. It is
encouraging to note the change which
has occurred of late years in this di
rection, and the farmers. The acre
age under wheat, corn, oats, grass,
fodder crops and clover, is yearly
widening, and that under cotton at
the same time is only slightly dimin
ishing; thus leaving the cash crop,
nearly, if not quite, as productive as
ever, 'but rendering the expenditure
for food and fertilizers very small, or
completely advoiding them. Bnt it is
always safe to have two things to de
pend' upon, so that if one fails, the
other may remain, and wool is pre
cisely a companion crop for cotton in
this respect. Besides, with wool there
is mutton, which is a food crop, and
sheep manure is of the richest quali
ty.
Wool is always salable, and is the
staple of a large home manufacture.
It is worth more in many places, at a
distance from the seaboard, than on
the coast, if there are mills in the lo
cality to work it up. Mutton and
lamb, if of tail- quality, are always
salable to the local butchers, and pro
vide a very agreeable fresh food for
the farmer's family. Sheep will thrive
exceedingly in the Southern States.—
There are vast tracts of land, notably,
the piny woods and table lands of
Western Georgia, Caroiinas, and
Eastern Tennessee, which are unsur
passed as cheap Niieep-xvalks. Iu Hie
South, sheep require less feeding ill
the winter than in any other part of
the country, Calilornia excepted, per
haps. Root crops may be grown and
fed olV from the ground by a “pen
ning” system, and thus the soil be
riclilv and cheaply fertilized and pre-
pared for cotton or corn. Large tracts
of adaptable land can be cheaply pro
cured in many part* of the South.—
There are several varieties of wild
grasses and other plants which grow
spontaneously, and which furnish ex
cellent pasture for sheep; tinning
these arc the so-called Wire grass,
Bermuda grass, Grab grass and Broom
sedge. Other plants of nn astringent
and resinous characier grow in the
fields and pine woods; and blue grits-.
of Ihe best kind grows ahumlautly
tipnn the table lands. From uniplr
experienee, it has been found that tine
wool, and wool of Ihe common Mcri-
rnsses, can he grown very profi
tably in the South, flock owners of
large experience have rated the cos
of growing wool under Ihe most fa
vorable circumstances, as low as six
cuts per pound. Thu climate enables
the raising of early lambs for North
ern markets, to lie’ earrietl on with tin-
greatest facility; ami the easy com
munication with the North, as well as
markets of the South, ensure a read
sale of tlic products.

Radical Extravagance, Corrup

The last fiscal year of Democratic
Administration was thatendlng June
-to, 1860. Tim ordinary expenses of
the government for that year, exclu
sive of pensions and Interest on thi-
pitblic debt, were $58^)55,952. Under
Republican rule, for the year ending
June 30,1875, the same expenses were
$148,073,632, or nearly two and a halt
times as great asunder Democratic
rule. Iu 1860 our pqimlaUon was
*31,433,321; expenditures $L87j* per
capita. In 1875, the
near as can be estimated, was
000; expenses per capita$3re0.
