A* much interest in felt throughout the country in
regard to the prospect* of the cotton end other crops
we will be. grateful to our planting friends and others
n the interior for information on that subject. Those
who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor
mation ill regard to the growing cropa, the working
ol the freo-Ul.br system, and kindred matters, of gen
eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating
ttoo sain© to us.
A City Enterprise.
We have been informed that a number of
our most intelligent nnd enterprising citizens
Lave applied to the Legislature at Milledge
ville for an act of incorporation authorizing
the construction.of a system of railway com
munication between one' or more points
within the -corporate limits of the city and
the adjacent localities ‘familiarly known a.-
Skidaway, Isle of Hope, Bethesda, Cedai
Hammock, Montgomery,Beaulieu apd White
Bluff, which may he embraced within a cir
cumference of road-bed not exceeding four
teen miles.
This enterprise, as we have been advised,
will not conflict at all witn ihe street railway
progressing under other auspices, and the
nrhiisK wm 4riRiM>mli>d last
•ach scenes, however pleasant, must close,
the lowering of the son in the western hori
zon, was the signal for all to repair to their
homes, and the assembly dispersed.

prosecution of which was su^iepded test to proT ide for the issue of new bonds
spring in conformity win; the sanitary views
of the Board of Health, but, on the contrary,
may be regarded as auxiliary to the latter,
which is desirabie for the reason that it will
greatly enlarge the area to be ramified by
network of road, the value of which as
public convenience to all classes of our peo
pie will not he duly appreciated, we appre
bend, until the work is fully accomplished.
Among'Uie numerous advantages that will
result from the completion of the first named
project, the most striking, perhaps, is the
opportunity it will afford for speedy ami
cheap transportation to'p'oints .immediately
ou the coast, which, in case of the prevalence
of epidemics in the city in the summer sea
xerapt from their influence, and
i may reside and pursue llieir
^s in. the city without damage
This consideration is es
fant to the poorer- classes,
which may escape the burthen of oppressive'
rentals in the city by the. construction of
cheap tenements on lands that may be oh
tained at merely nominal value, and upon
terms which will enable every iudubirious
person, however poor, to secure a domicil of
ot his own. Thus situated, in the vicinity
of where fish and oysters may be obtaiuei
in abundance, with garden privileges, he will
be enabled to reduce the expenses of his
tabic, and by the obsei vancc of a rigid econ
omy attain in the coarse of time a comfort
able independence. This of itself is an
argument of sufficient force to silence oppo
sition to the proposed scheme of improve
ment, if indeed there be any, and to induce
the Legislature to respond liberally aud
promptly to the application for the desired
charier. We might pursue the subject fur
ther and recite many additional reasons in
favor of the immediate completion of tbi.
important work, were it not that Bitch recital
might be construed into a reflection upon the
intelligence of the members of the Legisla
tare.
We will add, however, that the subject of
street railways is one that is attracting the
lively attention of all our Southern cities,
the municipal authorities of most of which
arc now actively engaged in threading their
principal streets with these modern improve-,
merits, to the delight of their respective pop.
illations, and in extending them to the sur
rounding country.
Since writing the above we learn that the
gratifying . information has been received
from the Hon. Philip M. Russell that the
Railroad bill lias been rc'ad the second time
in tlie House,and that its final passage in due
time is confidently expected.
The President** Message
We lay before our readers to-day the Mes
sage of the President.
Considerable apprehension has been felt,
by some in the Sooth even, that President
Johnson might make overtures in the docu
ment for a compromise with Ihe Radical dis
union faction, on the basis of negro suffrage
and general amnesty. But it will be seen
that this fear has been dissipated by the as
surance of bis unshaken determination to
make no concession of conviction in regard
to the vital question - involving the constitn.
tional rights of the Southern States.- He
gives Congress to understand that if tyranny
is practised upon these States and the Coil-,
stilution violated, despite his opposition, be
will be sustained by the proud consciousness
that he is in no way responsible for the en
croachments of the taction now-wielding the
power of the central government.
We commend the Messagefotho perusal
of our readers, with the assurance that it
will be fouati to contain the sentiments of a
patriot and statesman.

School Eiasaiaatloa la e*ir« County.
Mr. Editor—I desire, through the columns
of your worthy paper, to give a brief sketch
of a grand celebration given in connection
with, an examination of the students of a
school in Coffee county, near the Ailappaha
river. Quite a large assembly was present
to witness the progress of the students, which
I confess exceeded oar expectations, and gave
satisfactory evidence of the fact that they
were thoroughly taught and properly trained.
Mr. Corbit, the preceptor, truly deserves
credit for his untiring energy and devotion to
the interests of his pupils, and bis departure
from the community will be deeply regretted
by ail. We were highly entertained, after
the conclusion of- the exercises of the school,
with eloquent,and appropriate addresses from
the following gentlemen: L. A. SI
w. Hitch. JlL. MUchcffi.J.L 81
Judge Manning Smith. Although the disas
ters of the late war vfdre great, and ifcff an-’
parture of meansand hopes, with the ‘float
cause,” have been seriously telt, yH every
one seems to be alive to the interest of edu
cating the rising generation. We understand
Mr. Mitchell, whose address proves his abili

of Homersville, Clinch county.
