report when near Tenth street He thought
nothing of the reports and drove on. On reach

ton did not leave the vehicle he descended from
the box to ascertain why. He then found Mr.

May to the 18th of August, last year, no rain
fell, and the summer crops were scorched.—
Bread can now be scarcely got, even at the most
exorbitant prices, and, as the roads are impass
able by reason of the extraordinary wet weather,
no help from abroad can reach the people. The ■
debilitated condition of the population, and their
herding together in the large villages, in the
hope of getting food and shelter, has engendered
disease, which is making fearful ravages.
\Charle»lon Courier.
Chops is Western- Geoeoia.—The following
is clipped from the Columbus Sun and Times of
Sunday:
The very heavy rains that have fallen in this
and the adjoining counties in Georgia and Ala
bama the past week, have seriously damaged
the young cotton by washing it np and covering
it np with sand and dirt. In this way the stand
of cotton has been seriously and irreparably
damaged., The grass is fast taking possession
of n^auilantations, and if they continue any
lea&liyTnuch of tho cotton planted will have to
be abihcloned for want of the necessary labor
A Sew Cotton Factory In Columbus.
The Sun & Times of Sunday says:
We were informed yesterday that Mr. J. J.
Grant, an experienced manufacturer and lead
ing citizen, and others are projecting the build
ing of another cotton factory of the capacity of
10,000 spindles. The organization is to bo
known as the Coweta Falls Manufacturing Com
pany. A charter was secured at the last session
of the Legislature, incorporating the Company
and authorizing it to employ a capital of §500,-
000. It is thought the mill can be erected,
and slocked with machinery at a cost of little
oyer half this amount. The projectors own
three desirable water lots, just above those of
the Eagle and Phenix Mills—have a race already
completed and Will use the large river dam.
Enough rock has been blaated in building tho
race wall to erect foundations.
That factories will pay largely, and can be
worked cheaper in tho South than in the North
has often been demonstrated, and that the peo
ple are desirous to invest in such enterprises,
when there is a ccrtantjjof success is equally ap
parent. The way to build up Columbus is to
build manufactories. The water power of our
river facility in controlling it are unsurpassedon
this continent The prospects are that this new
enterprise will succeed—indeed there is not a
donbt of it Already large subscriptions have
been promised when the kooks are opened. If
many manufactories are built along our river,
and it is certain they will be, Columbus will
have a population of at least SO,000 people in ten
.years—a result worth working for.

The Folly or Farmer*.
The Rome Commercial of Sunday says:
We notice in our Macon exchanges, tho ar
rival per railroad in that city, in one week, of
35,000 bushels of com, and largo quantities of
flour, bacon and lard, amounting in the aggre
gate, we should suppose, to about $55,000.
This is but one week’s shipment to one city,
and shows the folly of Southern farmers in
planting all cotton and ignoring wheat and corn.
At tho same rate, the entire cotton crop of Mid-
- die and Southwestern Georgia will be consumed
in the purchase of breads*tiffs.
It would seem reasonable, that farmers would
learn ooonomy by experience, and if the past
three years has not taught them the necessity
of raising their own bread and meat, nothing
bnt a famine will. r .
We would suppose, from tho quantities of
grain going down the State rood, that before the
next crop can bo ga tho red, the planters in lowor
Georgia will havo expended from a half to a
million of dollars for supplies to keep np their
farms, and if there is money in raising cotton
and paying it out to Western farmers for pro
duce, are have never been able to see it.
How does it work? The South groars cotton
to enrich New England; she buys com, meat,
flour and mules from tho West to enrich that
section. From whence then, comes the money
to enrich tho South ? Is it not plain, that unless
ono or the other of these drains upon our pock
ets can be stopped, that we are obliged to grow
poorer every year.
Southern Emigration — The Manhat
tan Company. '
We learn, by the latest advices, that this com
pany has sent southarard within two ariseks 416
persons, and many others are leaving daily.
The locations chosen are south of tho James
river, in Kemble, Amherst, Bedford, Franklin,
Mecklenbnrg and Halifax, in Virginia. Each
settlement numbers from twenty-five to fifty
families, and tho lands have cost them, in
state of half cultivation, from $1 60 to $10 per
acre. The ooloniata havo purchased from 20 to
300 acres each. The payments may bo made as
follows: Some quarterly, in advance, some
semi-annually, and some in labor.
Tho Old Dominion line of steamers carry
southward every trip some member or fam
ily 6f this colony. Tho next regular batch
will leavo May 2, and 6,000 members are ax.
peeled to leave within the next three months.
The company havo added #S60 to its treasury
within the past week,*making $3,000 therein at
present, with a reserve fond of $14,000 in city
banks;—N. Y. Timet, 28th ult.
Frc<i Trade in the West.
The free trade movement, says tho Savannah
Republican, is strongly reinforced by some of
tho leading Republican papers of the West, par
ticularly the Republican papers of Chicago.—
The Evening l -t of that city doe* not ten how,
with wheat at one dollar and four cents and corn
at fifty-six cents a bushel, the home market and
remunerative prices for farm products promised
by the protectionists havo come to pass. Since
the commencement of the war. there have been
eleven changes in the tariff, each change turn
ing tho screws closer, and with every turn the
protectionists have told tho farmers that they,
as well as tho manufacturers, would be bene-
fitted. It is seen now that the tariff not only
destroys tho commerce of tho country, but U is
ruining tho agriculturists. The West justly
complains that, while Congress steps to the
protection or relief of the manufacturer, it does
nothing for the farmer. Special enactments
enable the manufacturer to keep his prices up;
whereas, if the manufactured articles were left
to the laws that govern trade, the goods would
go down with cheap raw material and cheap
food. But they do nob Protection thns plun
ders the farmer to enrich the manufacturer.
Fatally Bussed.—Mrs. Blake, residing on
Mill street, has been subject to epileptic fits, in
a mild form, for some time, and her husband
kept a colored servant woman to attend her.
Yesterday morning the servant made up a fire
in the back yard to heat water for washing pur
poses. She then went to a pump for a bucket
of water, and when she returned, she found
y Mrs. Blake lying in the fire in an insensible con
dition. The servant took her from the fire and
called in the neighbors. _ it a
Dr. Walsh was immediately sent for, but he
found her body, from her face to her knees,
burned to a crisp, rendering her recovery im
possible. She was perfectly conscious of her
dying condition, and bore her excruciating suf
ferings with patience and Christian resignation.
A Catholic priest was sent for, who administered
to her the consolations of religion. She was
still alive at four o’clock p. m. yesterday.—Sat.

The Railboad Was. — In former articles on
this subject we expressed the belief that as soon
as the City Council passed the ordinance allow
ing the Columbia and Angnsta Railroad Com
pany to construct a bridge across the Savannah
and enter the city, that the litigation between
that corj$$gtion and the South Carolina Rail
road Company would commence afresh, and the
United States Court would be the scene of war
fare. That this opinion was oorrect was demon
strated on Wednesday last by a notice being
setved on Mayor Russell, by Messrs. Gould and
Hull, the plaintiff's attorneys, that on the third
v ? ext month an application would be made to
Judge Erekme, in the United Stales Court at
