Got n \\ huso. —llioiher Calla way, of the Staio Line Press, goes back onus in the following style: “ Mr. Boully has retired lrom tlu Hamilton Viaitor, and it is now under the management of Messrs.

We sro willing to bo tl e best friends you have, brother C. i< you will only take the “old •* part o! it back ; for, iu fact, the “latter gentleman ” is a mere youth.

Everybody is talking hard timo*, and one might imagine that this in** been the topic eo long that tin: tub ji'Ot would bevxhutiHti'd, but it is not so, Efiyb'iiy, anywhere you meet them, under any eiicumsinricev, ha* time to stop and givn you a good long chapter on hard times, and si- I most invariably wind up with "worse coining.” The way the people talk has a ,/rcat deal to do with tiie hsk'dnets of the times, sod if they will only I view the bright side of the question it will not appear li.tll :<o dark to themselves; consequently they w'ti talk more ebecrfi;! to others. II thin u era the cose, many men in this com wtiniiy would never think of tucli a thing ss hard times, who now go with their herd* bowed ovor some imaginary evil, and beiieve that it is all that they cun do lo nvc.

Ah a general tiling those who croak most ovor bard tioies, ore llioea who do the ieui.t woik and u-e the leant efforts to make ihe times easy. Loafers can lay no claim that the world owes tlioui a living, unless they wo. k and pay for it, and still they are the hardest class ol' people to satisfy. We do not hold that the way to itir.ko ilia times easier ia to cease grumbling sed sit down and do nothing, but, on the contrary, go lo w'o k muuiahy, and don’t tell your neighbor ,h it we arc ail on the verge of starvation.

C-T’* “ A* a husband,” says a man, *■ I’m ever willing to do tnv share about tbo house. My wife, for in stance, put* up all tho preserves in surnnei —it is pleasant then, but a hen cold w inter conics I don’t adi her to do anything about them—l pat thoui all down alone." The Truth of Ihe Cat dwell Mur der. There are so many flying reports — diffcient one*, too—l think it not amiss (hat the truth should he known. The murderer, Henry \Vhi;*, is still at large ; no arrest has beeu made up to *!ii writing. The negro, Henry, is the father ol h child by bis oldest step-daughter, and was caught in tho set of raping bis next oldest etcj>- daughter, about leu year* old, in th* “new ground,” by one Mr. John 1/ bhs, very poor man, and a slorr.i sufferer. Mr. 1). drove hi in off the child; she was crying vory much. Mr. I). had been trying lo go to his father’v, wi'h bin family, in Alaliama, but could not get money to carry bim and snppnrt bis family, too. 'J'nia negro and others, also a wbiie man, knew of bis dome to go, and propcceJ to Mr. I). that if be would not prosecute the ease they would fertrab the cash to take him and family to bis father’*, and that tbev would carry him in a wrgnu to W ext Point. Air. D. agreed. The negro ;>• hi $; 1, the -.vbite man, t>2, nod the chifd’a uue’e Id ; and La was token to West Point, and put on the i \ Li. Tliis is the irne icasoo wliv Mr. D. did not appear be’o.e the eo one.’s jure. Mr. Hicbaid Ca dwell and oliieni, know ing these facta to exist, lelu.ed the cirenmstaooea to their f,ie id’. Tho ladic* of the neighbor hood had become alarmed, and muoh eicitcd over the matter, and ex p.cwed iheir fens repeatedly about ibis isper being allowed to remain in the neigbboi hood. .So Mr. (J. and others ’.vent to the negro’s house to warn him to leave the State. It seems this wa* a second visit to the negro. A/.er the first vinit .he negro went to JJr. t'asde’s, on whose land lie was living, and stated bis case. Air. Ca.l'e gave Lira the "hot gun, ho 1 h bfl’.'eU loaded with bockahot. and io'd him to ‘ use it if they came back agrio.’’ They went back, and Mr. Cardwell was slid, as staled. Tho negro was standing on his hod, end did not eo Cardwell, or know that he was presen.. These p ,- e the facta as culled from all the sources at my command, and 1 have every reason to be'ieve them correct, nil the other rumors to the contrary nolwiihs.aiiu iug. Al. Tub North & South Railroad.— An mljo,'tiled meeting of members of tho Legislature iiora the comities on the line of the No'th A South Daiboad together with the various commitUca in the city in theiu i.r cats of iho stockholders re-assembled at the ladies’ordinary of the Kimball Ho use last night. Cob Daniel S. l’rinlnp of Rome, officiated by rc quest as chairman, and Gapt. W. Ctiiplcy ns aecrclary. Mayor Cleg horn explained liic objccl of too. meeting, and it was decided to .sus tain tho bill introduced by Mr. Grimes of M n-oogee, with tin amend ment by Dr. Fiilman ofTronp, Tho important subject before tbo meeting was di cussed at length by the above gentlemen, and Senators Ouawlo'd and Blanco, Cob Fannin of Troup, and Col. Salisbury of Colum bus. Tim proceeding* were per fectly harmonious, and every ono present showed a fixed determina tion to work (or the passage of the bill agreed upon. It was agreed that Mayor Cicghoni should name a com tnittec at his leisure of which he should be chairman, to aid the mem ber* and Senators in their efforts to carry the measure. If perseverance and industry deserve reward, tho North fc South should succeed, mid wo sincerely trust it may, as it is an important line and a needed one.— Atlanta Const billion. UtißiofiTius or Railroad Iron.— The “creeping ’’ of railroad rails has atirncted some attention of laic, and while we do not attempt to explain it, we offer a point ou the fact that on lines running north and South the western rail ‘Jcreeps” faster than the eastern rail—that is, this tstrSngo movement of the rail toward the south is more marked iu one rail than in the other on the same track. Furthermore it ha* been noticed that on such a line the eastern rails wear out the faster. Both of these points wo think cun be explained by the motion of the earth ns it turns from tho west to the east. Everything that has ireo motion is dragged after the w hiding globe ; every wind that blows and every tida that moves feels tliejufiuenee.und our train going north or south is pulled over toward the east, and naturally presses the eastern rail most heavily. The western rail, being relieved of its share of weight, “creeps” more freely and quickly. It is nl-o noticed that tho w heel* that run on the eastern rail wear ont the first, anil we can but think that this caiih motion is the true cause. The j practical side of this is that tiro eas tern tail and wheels should be I stronger. A Chain Gang. Eos. Jooo.vat,—The question wh v we do not have a chain gang in which to place our convicts, is one which is constantly presenting itself to our cit- It is the general wish of all that I have heard • vj.-es# therm-elvc (ia the. Mihj.ct. Kow. this being the ,■ -c, why do wv not have one? l it practical or utped ent? lli(.eaie ot'esiionH that I wtrnld like anawe.ed. 1 do not lee! cam|eient lo answer them, bm hope, by Imaging the *uh jrct ii’io promiucnce, that someone qun'iffcd will do so. Oibcr counties seem to think it not onlv practical, hut actually henfficia', and, without knowing much about it, forn tho ve y nature of the case it kirikes ere o* being so. If, as some say, the co3t of the guard aud other expenses wi'l amount to moie than the income cf their la bor, wby, let one or two adjoining counties combine, and thus reduce that expense. Agna <1 of hah. a dozen men will be sufficient to con t ol a body ol fifty or moje weh-man nae'ed convicts. As to oilier objec tion* io this mode of punishment, wb'ch, doubtless, there are, let it be sxi* < 1 io vo.) v to them, t)nt it is do argument agaiasl any human t*oll, that it may, in some respects be deieclive; Lot it is the one wi.h the least number of them that should receive our snoc ion. As to tho ex pediency of adopting this, or some oilier life system, I do not believe that any one who has observed the inefficiency of the present wi'd, for a moment, question. The petty o Lues which arc punished by imp.isonroeut or fine, are mostly commit ed by ne groes; and any one acquainted willi ibeir disposition, who has observed the increase of crime among Ihem, must he convinced of ihc inefficiency of this mode of punishment. What does ho care for confinement? Here he can iiuln'.-.e his indolence lo his einiro satisfaction, and yet not be troubled w: h iho c.ve of ])ioviding for himself. It is contrary to the na ture o f things drat a race so sluggish and mduVerent about bod'ly conifo.ls should view confinement us much of a piiuishnient, or that it should deier them I’oin the conim'ltal of those c.imes hv which this habit of laaioess is indulged. We want some rooJe of pi’tiisb meut ;h.'t w'H beiler meet the ends of ji>i"oe, and ibi’3 p' otcct society f om a -epc.i ’on of iheso annoy,- pees. Tee chain g: eg we bcUeve to bo the .Liny- 'i he neg;o :-. u< -*>Uit*m.W,v opposed .0 much cm- ,ion, and it is only the fear of .bo l-.'sb. as n slave, or the p om| ings of beoger ss a i eedinau, that can exert ih ; s iofla cuce on \rta. Tlio idea of wo.’Jog ;om M'mise lo sunset under oveu tee:s is, I have no doubt, most dread ed by hUii of aH puiil-sliroen'.a. Lis adapting Ihe puoishaieni, lo the nn tU'-o of the offender tlral makes the chain gang, iu this particular, dicni. Besides this, the county might, iu this way, tuako public improvements. Her public thiv.oughfarcs might bo put in good order, thus rendeiing travel safer and more exbeditioos. Her pnb'ic buildings might be kept up. She ni'ght, as one has already suggested, gieatly promote her in to eat by extending to Hamilton the N, A: S. R. R. There would bo no lack of profitable work by which the comfort and convenience of her citi zens could be advanced. The county would benefited by a decrease of crime, by jiHieo being more promptly and consummately administered, and liy much-needed improvements being made. The comparative expense of this and every other system might be urged to the adoption of ibis, hut as what I hove already said suffices for my present purpose, I will close. Far Mien. -£’* One of the iue&pt frauds on record is that related of a Cincin nati undertaker who sold io a newly made widower of that city a solid rosewood casket for which he charged two hundred and seventy-five dollars. When the time came ibr paying the list sad rites at the cemetery it was discovered that the casket was nearly an inch too long for the grave, which had been fitted with some slabs. To save removal of the slabs a thin slico was sawed from each end of the casket lid, and these slices were picked up by a child of the disconso late widower and carried home. When the undertaker presented his bill for the “ solid rosewood” he was confronted with incontrovertible proc>t that tho casket had been sim ply an ingeuious imitation of rose wood, not being veneered. The bill was reduced. A country editor, in his financial article, says: “Money is close, but not close enough to reach,” OI&ISOIj D TXO 3SI * The firm of B.
