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. Spectator. The Qditman Banner and Southern Enter prise will please copy. 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. [COMMUNICATED.] 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 ty as an accomplished SThfrlnr yfid has a tine school in the flourishing little town of Homersville, Clinch county.
