As Interesting Letter About Oar Thriving Neighbor, sad Some Good and True Words About Albany, K Dawson, Ga., Feb. 2Cth, 1880. Editor* Albany New* : I read your paper on every Thurs day evening. It never miscarries— always comes to time. This is ac counted for by the fact that we hate here a first-class, attentive Postmas ter, one who attends strictly to his duties. It is really wonderful to observe the spirit of progress in Albany, as set forth in yonr columns. Albany, no doubt, is destined to become a city of fine proportions. With such men as Welch, Hobbs, Tift, Davis, and others like them, to lead in Iho van, it would be a wonder if Albany did uot succeed. Although not a resi dent of your city, I still teel a deep interest in her prosperity, and shall rejoice iu common with her people to see them attain the goal of their de sires. In fact, it has already come to >ass in the history of Southwest ieorgta, that our people look upon Albany as the Queen of successes.— What is it that she ever did under take and not make it a success? Her Fair and Library Associations in par ticular, are living exponents of the truth of this clsim. The people of Dawson cherish a most kindly feel ing for Albany; and I ain satisfied they entertain no spirit of bitter ri valry or antagonism towards Albany in her onward march of prosperity and success. Bnt permit me, jnsl here, to state a few facts about Daw son, not generally recognized by the average citizen of your city. Daw son is by no means a place so insigni ficant as I have sometimes heard said, abont twenty twenty-five.miles from her borders. In the first place, she has a population of 2000. She has 49 business houses, two banks, four warehouses, one good hotel, five churches, and finally, she has the best schools in Southwest Georgia. Du ring the season just past, Dawson has received between seven and eight thousand bales of cotton, and it is con fidently believed will receive next season at least ten or twelve thonsaml. Terrell county can spare Albany three or four thousand bales, and then do a fine business. There is no sort of doubt but what Dawson is rapidly on the increase in point of prosperity and success. She is beginning to command a large and extensive trade from Stewart and Webster counties, which tarnishes a very important factor in the history of her commerce. As another evidence of her growing prosperity, not less than fifteen fann ies have moved into Dawson since the first days of Jnnnary. Among other distinguished citizens recently located here, we arc soon to have Coi. C. B. Wooten, formerly of your city. The value of real estate has Increased 25 per cent in the last few months.— Well, we conld write many more things in behalf of Dawson, showing her to bo a place of dignity and im portance, but desist till another time. It is rather early to begin to dis cuss the question of politics as relates to our next member of Congress from this District, but allow me to make a prediction, which will not surprise many of onr best informed citizens, but it will be the no less trnly verified by time as you will see. To-wit: That John T. Clarke will be our next representative. His record in the State Senate has marked hint for a seat in Congress. He will sure ly win. More of this anon. Yours truly, - . Hotspur. Items in General. The Virginia legislature has re pealed the Moffet bell punch law. The Superintendent of the census says that womon may be appointed as supervisors. At Brnlu City, Dakota Ter., recent ly, Jim Somers, known from Yank ton to Bismarck as a lawless and dan gerous man, had an altercation witli his ancle, At. Somers, which resulted iu both being shot. A convention of colored people at Dallas, Texas, to consider the exodus question, decided that there was no cause for an exodus in Texas, and in riled emigrants to settle in North west Texas, assuring them they would be treated according to merit. Tho Rev. Edward Cowley, late manager of the “Shepherd’s Fold, New York City, has been convicled of cruelly treating and starving the children under his care aud sentenc ed to one year in Ibe State prison and to pay a fine of $256. The Post Office Department now Issues money order* payable to the party purchasing, thus enabling any one going on a Journey to a strange city lo avoid carrying surplus money and to collect at the desired point without Identification other titan tbe order itself furnishes. This ia quite a convenience to the public. A match game of checker* was played recently in Salt River, Mich., between J. Henderson (colored), the champion of the State, and Wm. Mill er.

Louise Lucerne, has jnst' reached her hun dredth year. She was the friend and rival in beauty of.Mute Recamier. Good authority is claimed for the rumour that Miss Huntington, daugh ter of the President of the Central Pacific Railway, is soon to become the bride of tho editor of the New York Time*. ■' 1 The daughter of tpe wealthy Sena tor Sharon is admiringly described as : having a sweet, child-like face and gentle manners, and as dressing with the greatest simplicity, entirely with out jewelry; Spotted Tail’s daughter, a student at the Government School for In dians, Carlisle Barracks, Pa., has beeu married to tho half-breed interpreter of that institution. Her husband says her blood is royal, and hence forth she cannot take her turn at scrubbing floors. It is said that the Prince do Lynnr, who married Miss Parsons, of Ohio, and who sent in his resignation from the Prussian diplomatic service rath er than accept Uie post of minister at Rio Janeiro, seme years ago, is about to bo reinstated by tbe German for eign office. ■ The lato Martha Somerville daugh ter of tho late Mary Somerville, has bequeathed $12,500 to the British Life boat Institution, for the purpose ot forming and maintaining on the coast a life-boat station in memory of her mother. It was a very wise aud wo manly benefaction. Mrs Green is said to have $25,000,- 000 of money which her father “IIIul. her” Robinson, made from his wha ling ships. UU vossels were all i tainted blue and browu as the |“Blue Aue.” Although her husband re sides in New York, Mrs. Green is a resident of Bellows Eal Is, Vermont, where she devotes herself to au inva lid son. The tall, fair and fragile looking Princess, Blanche d’Orlcans, is going lo marry the Prince do Ligne, who, although not of royal birth, is allied to several reigning families. Princess Blanche is the second daughter of the Due de Nemours *and is the fre quent companion of her father in Pa ris society. She is the only unmar ried graml-daughter of LouIr Phil- lippe. The two new ladies-in-waiting who have this year come out with the Princess Louise to Canada, are both of them lair widows. One, Lady Pelly, a daughter of Lord Elcho, the originator of the great English vol unteer movement, is the widow of Sir Henry Carstairs Pelly, Bart., who died in 1877, and tbe other, the Hon. Mrs Langbam, a daughter of Lord Macdonald, of Antrim, and a sister of the Vis countess Tarbat, is the wid ow of Captain Algernon Langham, of the Guards, who died in 1373. Mr. Ronals and the dashing Wid ow Watson met by chance, on horse back, near Leadvilie, and there form ed an acquaintance, which ripened so rapidly that within three weeks they were engaged to marry. They tbougt it would be romantic to have the cer emony performed on the spot of ttieir first meeting, and the wedding party rode to tbe place, which was in a wild and dangerous canon. The widow’s horse slipped and threw her off, breaking her arm; but the knot was tied, despite the mishap, and the bride’s anger was appeased by hav ing the horse soundly whipped. Let It bo Known. Belleville (Ill.) Democrat.] That the Democrats intend to win. That thoy intend to do it fairly. That they will neither cheat nor be cheated. Thnt they are all patriotic and true. That they cherish the Uuion of our fathers. That they will preserve it intact. That they will not brook insults. They will turn out to a man at the election. ' They will vote for none but the true bine. They will not be rode over at the polls. They will not be bullied uor brow beaten. They will bring out honest candi dates. And will stand by them until elect, nd. They will put none on guard but the faithful. And will hold np their hands and fight. They will rid the party of office- grabbers. And will take honest people from the people. Let this be known us the determi nation of the people of the Demo cratic party in 1880, and victory will perch on our banner. In a Nutshell. Colutnh.s Enquirer.] There is complaint in many quar ters of rings, but they cannot rule un less people permit It. If our people wore a* attentive to primaries as they ar« to tho elections and grumblings after a iioii-favorlto has won, we would not have so much of indepen dents. Tho only object should be to defeat the republicans, for tlicy are opposed to our best Interests, and elect first-class men who will honor their constituents. Wo have In onr state gentlemen who can unite all di visions, and such can bo placed in nower if proper Interest be taken.— The primaries should ho attended by tho best people anil tho delegates to the conventions lie selected by the Miscellaneous. ■ It I * said that Mr. Pierre Lnrlllard contemplates engaging an American Jockey (ids year to ride bis horse in Kijghind, probably Barbee.

Oue of the greatest annoyances to English railway companies is the nu merous suits to which they are sub jected. It is not an unfrequeut thing for suits to be brought for detention, and recently one irate gentlemen who massed the train sued for the cab hire he*paid. Another lost his hamper, containing his lunch, a couple of fowls, aim his ammunition for a day’s sport, and sued for it on the ground that it was lost baggage. On Friday evening Miss Lewis, re siding on Capital Hill, Washington, D. C„ while on hor way tu St. Jos eph’s Catholic Church, was knocked down, stunned and carried into an open lot by a negro, who outraged and robbed her of her satchel and prayer book. It was nearly two hours before he reached home ; her throat was black with choking, one ear nearly severed from tho body and the body covered with bruises. She lies in a critical condition. A negro named Thomas Smoothers was arrested yesterday, and recognized as her assailant. At midnight about one hundred men went to the Seventh District Station House, and demand ed the prisoner, bnt he had been re moved to another station, ami was guarded during tho night by tbe en tire reserve police force. How Hou. S- S. Cox Canto by the Name of “Sunset.” The following, which appeared in the Ohio Statesman May 1853, is the brilliant piece of descriptive writing whicn won for Mr. Cox tbe immor tal name of “Sunset A UREAT OLD SUNSET. Wliat a stormful sunset was that of last night. How glorious the storm and how splendid the setting of tbe sun. We do uot remember ever to have seen the like on our round globe. The scene opened in the west, with a whole horizon full oi golden interpenetrating lustre, which covered the foliage and brightened every object into its own rich dyes.— The colors grew deeper and richer until tbe golden lustre was transfused into storm-oloud, full of finest light ning, which leaped in dazzling zig zags all around and over the city.— The slender wind arose with fury, the slender shrubs and giant trees made obesiance to its majesty. Some even snapped before it. The straw berry beds and grass plots “turned up their whites” to see Zephyrus march by. As the rain came, and the pools formed, aud the gutters hurried away, thunder roared grand ly, and the fire bells caught the ex citement and rung with hearty cho rus. The south and cast received the copious showers, ami the west all at once brightened up in a long polish ed belt of azure, worthy of a Sicilian sky. Presently a clond appeared In the azure belt, in tho form of a castellat ed city. It became more vivid, re- vealing-foruia of peerless fanes .and alabaster temples, and glories rare and grand in this mundane sphere. It reminds us of Wordsworth’s splen did verse in his Excursion : “’Hie appearance instantaneously disclos ed, Was of a mlglitv city, boldly say, A wilderness of buildings, Kinking far. And self withdrawn into wondrous depth. Far sinking into splendor without end.” But the city vanished only lo give place to another isle, where the most beautiful forms of foliage appeared, imaging a paradise in the distant aud purified air. The sun wearied with the elemental commotion, sank be hind the green plains of the west.— The “great eye of Heaven," howover, went down with a dark brow hang ing over Its departed light. The rich flush of tho unearthly had pass ed, and the rain had ceased, when the solemn church hells pealed; Jim laughter of the children, out and joy ous after the storm, is heard with the carol ofbirds, while the forked and pm pie weapon of the skies still dart ed illumination around tins startling cottage, trying to rival its angels and leap into ito dark windows. Candles are lighted, the piano strikes up, wo feel it is good to .have a homo: good lo be on tho earth when such revelation of beauty and power ■nay be made, and ns we cannot' re frain from reminding onr readers of everything wonderful of onr city, we have begun and ended our feeble sketching of a sunset which comes so rarely that Ha glory should bo com mitted todiumartal typo. : THE RED BILK I’UItSE. ?Confnnnd that girl I Why need she have come In here ?

Two bright tears dropped snddeu- ly from under the black crape veil that the lady wore. “Thanks 1 You. are"very kind!
