We cannot recol lect the day when we enjoyed ourselves bet ter. Friends, we are coming again —We know of several improvements “on tho build” but refrain from spying much about them at present. —A man “had the face” the other day to ask us did’nt we want to go on another Egg Island excursion. We did not talk long for we soon walked off in different directions. Oh, will that Egg Island trip never die out ? —There will be a Croquet Party at Mrs. p JI. Blount’s, at the Ridge on Wednesday evening next. Ice cream, &c., will be served. It is given for the benefit of the Presbyterian Church, and all are invited to attend. —At the present time, there is but very little sickness in Darien, and on the Ridge, we are pleased to know. —Friend Sharp, of the M. & B. Railroad, informs us that the Railroad from No. 1, to Hammy Smith’s Landing will be built at an early day. —We were informed, recently, that the new str. Mayflower, purchased by Geo. W. Wright.

Muy’he live always is our earnest wish. —Two articles from a regular contributor to the Gazette are nn.vvoi ’.ably crowded out of this issue but. will appear next week, DsLobme’s waiehouse in this city, Was entered ou Sundae night by burglar's and a lot of fl nr, bacon, butter, Ac., taken t 'i or ■ - fro n. Ta t burglars effected an ea ranee by picking through a brick wall two feet thick.

One poor fellow came very near walking himself to death. All on account of Tom Collins. Somebody told him that Tom had gone to Egg Island, and the last we saw of him he was standing at the wharf swearing “by all that was good" that he would find “that ’ar fellow and hear what he had to say to him if it took a week.” If he arrives at Egg Island all safe (which is very doubtful) and don't find Collins, then we expect to hear of a second-class suicide.

We re gret very rnnch to learn that Mr. Wheeler leaves us for good, as he was an excellent citizen. May good luck attend him wherev er he goes, is our parting word. ■ —Mr. Burr Winton, of Brunswick, came over on Wednesday, and will on Monday next commence work on the commodious of fice of Messrs. Young & Langdon. We were shown, a few- days ago by Mr. Winton, the plan of the building w hich we pronounce a beautiful one. The edifice will be three sto ries high and will be decidedly the hand somest building of the kind in the city. This enterprising and go-ahead firm deserve great praise for erecting such an office— which will be quite an ornament to the citj\ Mr. Winton promises to have the work fin ished by the first of November. A Word About Enterprise. The evidence of what a few enterprising men can do for the growth and prosperity of a town, is more apparent in the city of Da rien, than in any other place of like propor tion, we venture to say, on this continent. But a few years ago, this now prosperous little town, presented to the gaze a most for lorn and deplorable condition; nothing was to be noticed but heaps of ruin, with here and there an old chimney, rising monumental like, to mark the spot where once stood the habitation of some happy family. But see her to-day with her increasing prosperity, her many stores and tremendous export trade, and one is loth to reconcile in his mind the change. When, however, the se cret is told, every one can readily acknow ledge its credence, and render the praise to those energetic and active men, by whose untiring efforts the great work has been wrought. For a long time after the close of the late war, the timber business, which is and al ways has been the back-bone and nerve of Darien, was carried on, on the time-system, by notes of two, four and six months, which gave to many unprincipled men the oppor tunity of coming in and swindling, to a great extent, the timber cutter. The perpetration of these swindles were beginning to have a pernicious effect on the trade, and a total stoppage seemed imminent, when the enter prising firm of Alfred Dobell & Cos., opened a branch of their Savannah house here, with the efficient member of the firm, Mr. James K Clarke, at its head. . This gentleman, of kneeu foresight and superior business talent, at once discovered the cause of the decline in the trade, and thereupon determined to commence paying cash for timber and lum ber, and had the gratification, in a short while, of seeing the trade reviving rapidly, and to-day, instead of Darien exporting twenty million feet of timber, as in 1868, her records show an increase to one hundred million. There are others equally deserving praise, and to whom the inhabitants of Darien are indebted for her prosperity—among them we may mention the firms of Eppfng, Bellas & Cos., that of Young & Langdon, Hilton A Foster, Don. M. Munro, James Hunter, Au gust Schmidt, all of which gentlemen have done their part in making Darien what she is to-day. Our municipal government was also un safe, at the time mentioned in bur prelude,— a certain class of our citizens becoming law less and ungovernable to such a degree that one could not feel safe in the community, but mark this change also. We find her to day a town, where peace, order and dignity reign supreme—each citizen, of no matter what color, appearing to feel that his or her interest is directly connected and identified with the others; for this we cannot best >w too much praise on Mr. T. P. Pease, the effi cient Chairman of the Board of County Com missioners. whose just and rigid enforcement of our laws have become proverbial, and who never shrinks or swerves his duty tor friend or fie. With such men its those men tioned, and others we have, ot like capacity at t’.e head of municipal affairs," we predict for Darien an mi-quaked prosperity and a glorious future. The Hoads and Hoad Commissioners. At the last (May) Term of the Superior Court of Mclntosh County, the Grand Jury reported most of the roads in a bad condi tion and censured some of the Commission' ers. His Honor, Judge Schley, said in re sponse to their presentments “that he re. gretted that the Grand Jury had not identi. fled the direlict Road Commissioners” “by name, so that lie could take the proper steps to inflict upon them the penalties prescribed by law. ” It is not probable that another Grand Jury will make the same omission, and the penalty set forth for “neglect of duty” by any Road Commissioner is a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than two hundred dollars.” In addition to this, the Commissioners of a road are liable to any one who may sustain injuries to himself or property from bad bridges etc., in a per sonal action for damages, to such amount as a jury may assess. These remarks have been induced by gen eral complaint of the bad condition of the bridges on two of the principal roads leading into tin's city, and in many places of the roads also. We refer to the two roads known as “The River Road” and “The Stage Road.” The mail carrier reports the bridges on the latter to be in a shocking condition. On yesterday only, we heard of a citizen whose horse fell through one of them. He had the | good fortune to escape with a broken shaft. But what may be the result of the next catas trophe? On “the River Road” we are in formed that it will be necessary, in conse quence of the heavy washings by heshets, for the county authorities to assist the Road Commissioners with money. Teams must be hired to haul dirt, and the Road Commis sioners have not the means to procure them without assistance from the county. Out side of this single feature, however, the Commissioners on these two roads, and on all the other important roads in the county have an ample supply of labor to put them in good order if they will but enforce the law. We have written the foregoing with the kindest feelings towards the Com missioners of these two Roads especially, and of the Commissioners of the county roads generally. We do not know who are the Commissioners on the different roads, but have no doubt, from the importance of the positions, that they are filled by our most worthy and responsible citizens. Me do know that for a long time, until ot late, owing to the peculiar state of affairs in this county, the Road Commissioners were un able to enforce their authority, and hence would naturally get out of the habit ot its exercise. But such is no longer the case. The supremacy of the law over all classes has beer effectually asserted. The law gives the Road Commissioners the power, and makes it their duty to hold their Courts and fine and imprison delinquent road hands. The good citizens of the county expect the Commissioners to exercise these ample pow ers and keep the roads in order, or else they will expect the next Superior Court to enforce the penalty of the law against the Commis sioners themselves for a neglect of duty. Reply to “Citizen ’A Tempo” by ••Attor neys pro Prosecution.” Mr. Editor: Your issue of July 11th contains another communication from “Citizen ’A Tempo” in reply to “Attorneys pro Prosecution.’ W e had been induced to believe (after our letter) that he would not attempt to refute the statement made by us, as they were truths, and not the sayings of an overcharged imagination, but it appears that he, “Citizen A’ Tempo,” feeling sore and bruised by the application of the truth, has his metal up, and threatens to furnish the facts if his ar ticle should be replied to by ns. Now, Mr. Editor, we call upon him and implore him. as a very great favor, to give them to us. We want them, leeling assured, however, that the braggadocio intimation of “Citizen ’A Tempo” will vanish away like the author himselt, when the time for furnishing the facts, come. He tells us, “It would have been in better taste for the Attorneys pro Prosecution, h iv ing many other cases in the Cofirt of His Honor, T. P. Pease, to have left his defense to himself or to someone not so closely con nected with his Court.” He wishes, by the above, to induce the public .to believe that we have espoused the cause of the Hon. T. P. Pease, in the hope of leward, but we would say to the exemplary and infallible “Citizen A’ Tempo” that we do not “flatter” and “boot-lick” His Honor T. P. Pease, or any other (jlourt, for if we cannot carry our causes by fair and legitimate means, we abide the result,, and that we are not automa tons, like the author of “great outrage,” who bows the knee, and plays the menial to those above him, and before whom he stands re idv to obey and gratify their every wish, but we want the truth to triumph, and it makers not iu whose favor it may be, or against whom it may operate. We accord to Citizen ’A Tempo the right, with all others, to criticise tlie conduct of the officials, but we advise him hereafter; when he attempts it, to be sure that his criticisms are correct and proper; that he knows whereof he writes; and, we would further suggest to him, (if ho will receive our suggestions kindly,) t-0 better acquaint himself with the laws governing Coarts of Inquiry, before he attempts to instruct and direct the Couit or the Attorneys pro Prose cution. Citizen ’A Tempo asserts that the respect ability of McFail and others, compared with that- of Charles Harris, is very generally ad mitted. Admitted to be what, Mr. Editor, better? we cannot think so - for the law says, he who receives stolen money, know ing the same to be stolen, is no better than the thief himself, but we accord to thorn all the same degree of degradation. The author of “great outrage" says, “It looks rather strange that Charles Harris, the principal Grid, who had confensc 1 the i. ,m and through whose confession part of the money was obtained and sh evil to ' na by Alonzo Guyton, Constable, sho ,’d b ■( at. large, without bonds, sail Gg. a : h , brought him from Chatham jah k order from his Honor, T. P. P “ ■ k had been committed tinder an affidavit , 1 id by Rothchild, who had, further :, . . i. i ■ offer of a large sum to an offi vr in in ah for Harris’ detection.” It is true that Harris did confess, yet, as we stated in our last, he made no confession to the Court,; it is also true that Guyton did recover, and had on his person, in the court room, a part, of the money, yet it was never shown to the Court, nor did ha say wider in the presence of the Court, that he had it. It is further true that Guyton did bring him and Putnam from Chatham jail, but not under an order from T. P. P. Pease. Guyton carried to the jailei simply a note from Mr. Pease, requ •sting him to render Guyton all tilt assistance in his power to get Harris and Putnam here, as they were wanted as witnesses, at the same tiimwsaying that Guyton would pay all the expenses, etc. It turned out, however, that neither Guyton nor Rothchild paid the ex penses, but one Jacob Adams. It is not true that Harris was committed under an affida vit of Rothchild, though he had offered a large sum of money to an "Officer in Savan nah, for the detection of the principal thief. If what he, Citizen 'A Tempo assorts, nla tive to the above be true, we admit that we were ignorant of the facts, and we apprehend that his Honor was in the same position. Citizen ’A Tempo asks whose duty was it to see them bound over as witnesses or remand ed to jail on their first appearance in Court, that society might be protected ? Wt an swer, that if it was the duty of any one, it was as much Citizen ’A Tempo’s dm;, as ;V Court or the Attorneys. The Court nor 11: Attorneys could have bound him over, as a witness, for Mcf ail had not then been com mitted. George Putnam was ordered by the Court to give bond as soon as McFa.il was committed, which however, he failed to do for several days afterwards. If Citizen ’A Tempo lmd have referred to the decision in the 45th Ga., on page 569. before denying the right of the Court to permit Harris to be used as a wit; be would not have shown his stupidity or igno rance ot the law. We want. Mr. Editor, the flippant author of “great outrage" to und. r stand that we do not propose to assume tin authority of “relieving one criminal in ord r to convict others,” but that we will use the testimony of any principal, to convict an ac cessory, whenever the opportunity presents itself, and if Citizen A'Towpo, himself, was in any way implicated in a robbery, that we would use the principal against him equally, as we have in the case alluded to. As to error number one. Citizen’ A Tempo “asserts that he can readily prove, if neces sary, that Rothchild di t have the parties ar rested in Savannah.” We demand of hi u the proof. We also call upon him fin proof of the judicial cognizance of ar ris’ confession by the Couit. We do deny that Charles Harris was brought to the County and into the presence of the Court undi r ar rest,and we ask him also for the proof. A writer so well calculated to write ns Cit izen’A Tempo, whose diction and rhetoric lias so much merit, ought to be well-in formed, for the Society in which he lives and for which he feels so much solicitude, is certainly entitled to the benefaction ot such a genius. Now, Mr. Editor, we say to Citizen A T> m po to cease his erroneous statements and re tire into the shadow of his own cone it. ATTORNEYS pro PROSECUTION. Reply of lion. T. P. Pease, to “Citizen ’A Tempo.” Mr. Editor: It is with some degree of pleasure that I see communication.-; in your valued paper, in re gard to the administration of our municipal affairs. To closely watch, and fairly,scruti nize the management of their public interest, is the privilege, as it is the right of every American citizen. No officer should be averse to the closest examination of his acts. While this is conceded, we may well claim that fairness and truth should bo the basis of each assertion, otherwise, we are soon led to distrust the public journals, and may seem to have no means by which we can be as sured. Imtbe recent article, signed-‘Citizen ’A Tempo” there seems to be an absence of knowledge of facts or a misunderstanding to a degree lamentable. In his last, I am charged, and c died t-> give an account under my own hand, of the matter of ltothchild & Adams, or rather, the .State, vs. Charles Harris. In the various cases and phases this has assumed, I deem the explanations, as given by the attorneys to be full, sufficient, and truthful, save that the first and only time which Harris was brought before me is not much dwelt upon, and in this, charged with the burglary, no evidence was introduced, save that on a previous occasion Harris said he knew where he could “make a raise—on the other side of Hie street.” Iu rebuttal, it was shown by an alibi, that Harris spent all that night, after eleven o’clock, at the house of one of our “respectable citizens.” As proof that a burglary was committed, a trunk, marked Eothehikl & Adams, was brought into Court, having been found on the street with its strong sheet iron hasp cut, evident ly by a chisel, iu such a manner as not to admit of its being drawn over the pad lock, yet on the catch or staple of the trunk, and as seemed a wonder, no mark or scratch ap peared on the face of the painted tin trunk, over which the hasp had closely fitted; this seemed not to fayor the idea that it could iiave been done by Harris, unless lie hel l the key. The various other phases of the mat ter have been very fully and correctly shown by the attorneys replying to Citizen "A Tem po. Ido not know that I’should now do oth r than invite attention to all my acts, as a Magistrate, an 1 to rum lad those who have so soon forgotten the condition of our city about one year since—about the time, and befoje I was-called to tlie Chair. Riot "after riot had arisen, arrests for crime were re sisted. An organized band, iu violation of. law, held their camp within the city and de manded the watch-word before any citizen, not of their party, could pass; trained bands were drilling in the outer parts of the coun ty, the . .li tof too lav. -voiding citizen was and •pressed, property couhl not be sold for fifty cent; >u the dollar, of its value, tlyree months previous. Citizens in this hazzai dous situati >i, arm J themselves with fifteen shooting rifles and repeating pistols, each man thinking only of his own household. The op ; * kill tlie Commissioners” “kill tlie lack ions” was ii and. The military com : ..... v . nil -d t > arm and assist in re i storing ■ they declined, saying it was ! too • i■• is. A strong police was then sought; -. , dries..were made for men who would act under pay in that capacity. Only seven were found, one of them soon quailed. Our brave Marshal, and five others, who -hould long be remembered, fought their way through crowds of rioters and ar rested their men; these wore brought before the i urt; when found guilty, were required iu rong bonds, to keep the peace, and an swer before the next Superior Court. Days, weeks, yes, months were spent in this man ner; and, now that assurance of peace and safety is felt, what but detraction is the re wa lof {hose, who sti mined the fearful tide, aid by prompt, energetic action, have ob tained, we In H -ve, the full assurance, that ftcr all, the law-abiding citizens of all shades of color are in the ascendant? In cent!list, it is pleasant to allude to the assurance of peace and the content written upon the countenances of our citizens. In numbers, our white population seems to have doubled within the last nine months; busi ness has not been interrupted, but has been succ< ssful. Our numerous stores are well filled, sales of merchandise largely increased, the mechanic arts well patronized, and if any fail of success, it is because of gross neg !•• ■:.

We reported briefly in our last issue the killing of Charles Grant, p. c., by Peter Sol omon, p. c., on the night of July 9ih. The difficulty originated at a colored ball at Ma honey’s bar room. These balls—as now con ducted—are a disgrace to the city. They ought to be stopped. They give rise con stantly to lawlessness, trouble and crime, in our midst. Will our authorities look to it ? Tlie body of Charles Grant, weltering in blood, lay unburied on the principal square of this city from the hour of the killing on Thursday night until late ill the following afternoon. The Coroner’s inquest was held before ten o’clock Friday morning. Surely it was unnecessary that this sight so shock ing to public decency and so depraving to public morals should have been left exposed in one of the most conspicuous places in the city, to greet the gaze of the curious and the purieut, for a half day after the inquest had been concluded. If we lived in “Coomassie” or some other African town we might become reconciled to such spectacles, but surely not in an Ameri can city “under the best government the sun ever shone upon” in the 10th century. The lust Grand Jury reported the Coroner as incompetent and suggested his resigna tion. Toby Maxwell, Coroner of Mclntosh coun ty, is an elderly “American citizen of African descent.” He is in some respects a good man, but he is densely ignorant and preju diced, and if he don’t resign, tlie proper pow ers ought to take the matter in hand and see that his place is vacated and filled by a competent person. We would suggest one of our popular physicians for the office. It is a position of no political significance or value, and our colored fellow-citizens might be induced to vote for our recommendation and thereby secure a competent public offi cial.
