flarim timber local dots. The excessive warm weather of the past pvs has driven many families to their tel \mer residences on the Ridge. Several es W ni leave in a few days for Northern watering P laces ’ Or E streets for the last week have been ,-cded with timber cutters. Quite a large "Entity of timber has been brought down q 'the "lest two weeks. The buyers being ’'! ijn in the market, timber is bringing fair prices. partial reconciliation has been effeet j between the buyers, and measurers and inspectors of timber. The “Varieties” left last Sunday for the City by the Sea." _\Ve notice that Amos Carr, proprietor of the Magnolia House, is having a number of Jots enclosed, for the purpose of having a ]ar „ e Stable built. Darien is rapidly impro vjnj; U ew houses all over the City are being constantly built. This is an unmistakable evidence of her prosperity and increase of business. . The Ordinary’s Court met last Monday. Much business of importance was transact ed. -M'e were pleased to meet in the City, du ring the week, Major C. B. Deyereux, of Brunswick. The Major has just returned fr oin a six weeks tour to Philadelphia. —An elegant stock of new shoes has just been received at A. & R. Strain’s old store. —The clever young gentlemen who wish to attend night services at the Ridge, should (frive faster horses or they will not even get there in time to hear the benediction. —A friend of ours says that if we will not •drink any mean whishey’ we will not be sick during the summer. Nary ’uother drap of mean whiskey will go down our throat this summer. —Read the advertisement of Messrs. Ep pjxg, Bellas & Cos. —Through the couitesy of friend Carr, we had the pleasure ot a delightful buggy ride out to the Jiidge, a few evenings since. This was the - first time that we had the pleasure of a ride behind Amos’ celebrated horse “Climax.” “Climax” knows how to make good time, which no one will doubt af ter trying him. The “Daisy” will hereafter run as fol lows: Leave Darien every evening at five o’clock and arrive at the landing in time for both the up and down trains. Leave No. 1, precisely at five o’clock, every morning. Oapt. Philips informs us that this scedule will be strictly enforced. W. H. Berrie, Esq., is the clever agent at No. 1. - It only takes a letter tgn days to go to Brunswick by No. 1. The fault, we arc in formed. is the negligence of the hackraen. A good many of our citizens are complain iog about the negligence of the huckmen across the river. -We return thanks to our fiicr, and Wilt. ■I. Warrington, lor Ins kind wish, and a. sure Jim that it is highly appreciated Mr. Warrington is our “occasional correspon dent” from Brunswick. The Steamer “Ajax” left on Sunday last for Jacksonville, Florida, to be put on the dry-dock. —Judge J. J. Abrams, of Savannah, was in the City on Saturday last. —Da. Spalding Kenan was elected Health Officer of the Port of Darien, on Wednesday last, by the Commissioners. The Doctor is a clever gentleman and a good physician and is well fit for the position. —Capt. J. A. Phillips has put a hack line on the route between Hammy Smith’s Land ing and No. 1 on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad. —Some two or three months ago, PiOth child A Adams, of this place, had their store broken open and three thousand dollars ta ken therefrom. Suspicion pointed to two or three colored men, for whom warrants were issued, but having no positive evidence they were discharged. One of the parties arrest ed was Charlie Harris, a colored man of this place, who was also examined and dis charged, was several weeksaftei wards known to have made several unusual large purchases. Harris and George Putnam, soon afterwards, started for Savannah for the purpose of pav ing S3OO for the Steamer Carrie to take an excursion party to Brunswick and Feruandi ua. When they reached Savannah they were arrested and lodged in jail. After keeping them there for several days Harris confessed the larceny and told where Jhe greater por tion of the money was deposited, r-t the same time implicating two or three more col ored men of this place. —The County Commissioners at their last meeting, passed a resolution to have all of their proceedings published, also their ordi nances, Ac. This is certainly very wise and judicious, for now, ignorance of the several ordinances by violations of the law can no longer be pleaded; and futhermore, the pub lic will be more satisfied when they know the proceedings of this body, and bow the peo ple's money is spent. Let them, at their next meeting, employ a Scavinger to clean up the streets, remove all the old rubbish, dirt and filth, thereby removing, in a great measure, the cause whioh mrkes Darien sickly during the summer and fall months. —Owing to an unusual pressure of legal business among our lawyers, and young men the excursion to Brunswick is deferred to snothar time. We regret exceedingly the necessity of the postponement, for we were anticipating much pleasure in our trip to the •'City by the Sea.” Be sure and read the several new adver tisements in this issue. Communicate.] Proposed Railroad from Darien to Waltliourville. In speaking of the wealth, prosperity or growth of a town, city or country, we natur ally regard location, position, progress, means of improvement, production and facilities, for commerce. About ten years ago, Darien was wantonly laid in ashes by an invading army. Her cit izens driven by stress of circumstances, sought refuge in other sections of the State and country. Peace being established, many of them returned to survey the ruins which remained. Soon the plastic hand of industry and the energy of perseverance began to raise the fallen town from the ravages and destruc tion of military marauders, and to-day risen, like Phcenix trom its ashes, stands renewed, redeemed aud independent of all opposition. The first source of wealth upon which Da rien may rely, is her location upon the Alat am ah a. This mighty water facility for trade spreads her arms far and wide-*-just think of it—this mighty stream is fed by the Oconee, extending up two hundred and fifty miles iu the interior, coming down from that high el evation, she is joined by the Ochmulgee; low er down the Ohoopee joins her mighty sis ters and forms the stupendous Alatamaha, alias. Altamaha. This vast junction of wa. ters reaches Darien, a child of fortune. Ves sels from Darien reaches the Oconee by Do boy outlet, a distance of eighteen miles, where vessels of many sizes and description ride safe at anchor, or pass on to the ocean. The denominations of crafts are, barks, schooners, ships, brigs, numbering twenty sails in the month of January. The grand total for the year, from January 1873 to .Jan uary 1874 are 221 vessel ß —tonage, 100.499; feet of timber, 49885,437; feet of lumber, 19,- 886,431; exported during the year to the fol lowing ports—Liverpool, London, Amster dam, Bremen, West Indies, South Amer ica, St. Johns, N. 8., Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other poits. This is a character of commerce that must necessarily come to Darien for transporta tion. And now, we add the vast wide spreading lands accessible to the Alatamaha, and abounding in pine timber of the very best quality, and will furnish business and trade amounting to millions of dollars per annum. Let us speak of Darien ns to her prospects in every respect. The health is usually very good and when the warm weather comes on there are retreats for health at the Ridge and the Thicket, distant from three to six miles from Darien. Here we enjoy the delightful zephyrs from the south east, fresh and open to the ocean. • •In the town, we have a hotel that will com pare favorably with any in the Southern country—The Magnolia—managed by' Air. Carr, presents every inducement to the weary, the healthy, the gay or the grave, for the proprietor has a good word and a hearty welcome for every one who enters his retreat of entertainment and comfort. His record shows the average number of fifty visitors per day, and every one leaves with the in tention to cail again. iVarothu Iv. ..iding houses, well kept, are always stored with guests and many retire for want of room to accommodate them. To accommodate passengers to Brunswick a small steamer, the Daisy, runs from Da rien to a landing on the Glynn side of the river, which is eight miles to station 1, on the M. &. B. Road. These and other consideration; strengthen me in the desire to see a railroad connection between Walthourville and Darien. First, the feasibility. The Road connecting the two points will not exceed twenfy-swo miles it properly surveyed, ihe land over which the track will pass is nearly a dead level There will not probably be an excavation of ten feet iu any part of the track, nor an ele vation of six feet required. Two other points may be suggested as proper for the junction. Johnson’s station, No. 4i. This station is thirty one and a half miles from Darien, and so contiguous to the Alatamoha and passing over several deep creeks and qu gin ires, to gether with the backing of the river waters, that the labor, expense and distance would be at least fifty per cent, more 'ban between Darien and Walthourville. Second, the distance from Darien to Mclntosh station is about forty miles and the track would run through deep sand beds and swamps almost impervious, beside having to cross two rivers and other water courses. I know there nre difficulties to be met in the route between Darien and Walthourville. The “Goose ponds” may be considered im possible. This is a mistake, they often run dry, and may be worked with ease, yet The proposed road will probably pass at least three miles north of these ponds. Xext, the “Mortar swamps” are considered a great ob stacle. They run into Bull town swamp, which is crossed by the stage road from Darien to Kiceborongb, and private citizens have constructed causeways across these swamps for their own convenience. More anon. PROBONO PUBLICO. —Randolph Aiken, the young man who shot and killed Madison Owens, some five or six months since, died with billious fever a few days ago. Bcbu Winton, Esq., of Brunswick, and one of the best architects in the State, called on us during the week. He reports everything “all serene” in Brunswick, and informs us that the P. G. in G., is as pretty as ever. We are informed that there was a fire in Brunswick on Wednesday. Moses Mc- Donald, the colored Tax Collector, had his grocery store buried down. Lost every thing in the store, together with papers be longing to the Tax Collector’s office. The Fire Engine was promptly on the spot and saved several buildings. Commnnicated] Darien and Same of its Advances. Tt possibly might have troubled George Smith, the famous decipherer of Chaldean Tablets, at the close of the war, to indicate by the signification of ruins where once stood the centres of trade and the busy mart of Darien. Like Ninevah, Darien too, was over whelmed in destruction, and it needed all but the energy of a Bayard or Sir Henry Rawlin son to discover where once stood its tem ples of worship, its commercial warehouse, j its handsome stores, its comfortable and ea- I pacious homes. | Suffering, as a natural result, the devasta- tion of war in common with the South, it could point, like Atlanta, to its guant and mournful ruins as monuments of its previous prestige. With a commercial status sadly iu contrast with its historic prosperity, the ad vent of peace foqnd the city barely able to claim a dignified recognition as a port of im portance. But how' changed its condition ot to-day ! Energy and enterprise have richly reaped for our port those benefits which just ly and happily reward their well directed ef forts; and to-day, Darien ranks with the foremost of all American cities as a timber and lumber entrepot. The sites of destroyed mills have been rehabilitated by mills of greater capacity—daily distributing to the ships that await it, hundreds of thousands of feet of lumber, while the long line of booms that stretch their length along the shores of the Altamaha, teem with the seemingly inex haustible supply of timber that this river and its various tributaries furnish to the needs of the world. To such extent has this lumber and timber busines increased within the last nine years, that the annual exporta tion coastwise and foreign will fall but little, if at all, short- of 100,000.090 feet, for the current year. To carry this amount of pro duct, a lare amount of tonage is requisite, and wharf after wharf has been built at Do boy and in its vicinity to meet the necessity of safe and sufficient mooring to the fleet that has entered for cargo—there being at one time during the this present season up wards of fifty large vessels in port. But not alone in this branch of business has been il lustrated the value of enterprise and sagaci ty, for cotemporary with the steady enlarge ment of this trade, we see repeated eviden ces of prosperity amongst the dry goods and grocery merchants, who, set!ling upon the ruins of the old market places, have rebuilt upon their foundations, aud renewed upon their sites the scenes and excitements of a busy avocation. Amongst them, daily, may be seen the significancies of thrift and en ergy. Bartering fir the products of the country, and shipping iu return large stores of supplies to the men who hew the timber, distribution of the usual chandlery goods to the ships in port, and the needful provisions and implements to the adjacent farms and plantations, arc but some of the indications that mark the renewal of prosperity in old Darien town. In this hasty and cursory glance at the signs of improvement, we cannot fail to no tice particularly, the successful effort made by one of our Cut uprising firms to present to the community a business place, more than usually attractive. Alongside their old establisment, which occupies a part of Ihe site of an ancient Tabby Block, Messrs. At woods A Avery have erected a commodious and handsome store that does credit to their trade and enterprise, adorn the business cen tre of the town, and one without disnarage- ment, could occupy a place in business thor oughfares of many a more pretentious port. Here with ample stock of assorted goods, ranging in variety from a paper of pins to a set of bed room furniture, in a cool and airy place, in a full and sufficient light, they' daily offer, with the aid of active and polite coad jutors, a full and pleasant response to every needful call. This step in the march of im provement is worthy of congratulation, and must surely reap for its iuangnraiors a cor responding harvest of value. Advertising and enterprise des* rve success, (they do more,) secure it. Pleasant rumors of other i: ipr m nients are assuming the shape of assurance, and we hope, that ere long, many of the heaps of rubbish that mark the spot ; where once stood the temples dedie it<-,l to the “Living God,” may have uplifted upon them, spires of beauty that beautifully suggest the source of every joy, and homes and hearthstones within whose walls and in the gleam of whose firelight maybe dispensed those genial courtesies that once characterized this an cient town as a p’ace of happy homes and happy hearts.
