The Sea Islands of Georgia-
A correspondent of tlie South,
(n paper published iu New York) who
his been visiting along our coast
long enough to see the in iguificciice
of the islands mid harbors, writes a
lengthy description, from which we
take a few extracts. The writer is
pleased with the Georgia seaboard,
and lie may well be, for if he were to
try the whole Atlantic si aboard from
Maine to Mexico be could not hud a
more healthy location, or one in
which he could ei joy the comforts of
wealth and refinement better. The
writer says :
At the southeastern extremity of
Georgia is Cumberland, the hugest,
the liigln stand the gem of these
beautiful islands. Besides some few
other fruits slid standing on the
“Dungi ness grounds” there are hun
dreds of healthy olive trees, now over
s .x'y years in bearing, aud which
till, plainer than words, what cotihl
be done here in the production ot
pure olive 0.1,
Near the middle of tlit island, too,
with its boundaries extending from
the sound to the sen, is the “Siafiord
Place,” the only perfectly kept-uu
plantation homestead on the Georgia
seaeuast, (the homestead, not the
plantation).
From tlie “Stafford House,” an ex
tensive view is obtained, including
Cumberland Sound, and far up, the
St . Mary’s ltiver, winch is io be one
of the new Atlantic outlets ot the
hundred rivers which flow from the
Western and Southern valleys into
the Gulf ot Mi xieo.

The New Water Line.^ —Col. B. W.
Frobel lias begun the survey of tl e
Coosa river, which was ordered at
ihe hist session of Congress. As
soon us the necessaries in Ihe way of
boats and outfit have been secured,
he will urge the work on to a rapid
completion. The object of the sur
vey is to complete and perfect the
estimates of the surveyed portions of
the contemplated water-line between
the sou heastern coast. The uui'-r
sal favor witu which this project "us
received at the last session demon
strates clearly, that its value to com
merce is fully understood. Tlie com
mittee to which it was entrusted re
ported unanimously in its favor, and
prospects are that a decided move will
be made in the matter during the
next winter. The project is of vital
importance to the Yi est and of no
1 iss value to the South. Especially
would it benefit the iron interests of
Alabama and Georgia.

lii Memoriam.
[From thy New Orleans Bulletin],
Died, in the city of New Orleans, on
Thursday evening, the 17th of Sep
tember, at 7 o’clock p. m., the Sov
ereign State of Louisiana, after a
lingering and paiufm disease, which
she bore with Christian fortitude
and patient resignation for two
long years.
Tlie’States comprising the family
were in attendance upon tlie funeral,
winch took place on Saturday morn
ing, at her iale residence, the St.
L mis II tel. The friends of hnrnau
ilx.rfy, of every color aud condition,
were likewise present and participa
ted iu the solemn obsequies.
Th 3 disease which caused the death
of this git-tit State was anew type of
debility, heretofore unknown to the
medical faculty.
The entire lamily of States are sat
isti and now that the case of Louisiana
was improperly and unskillfully treat
ed. In fact, she was bled to death.
Pulebotoiny had so reduced her con
stitution that death ensued, leaving
In r attenuated and after death a were
skeleton and a ghastly sight.
Buried now out of sight, and her
star blotted out of the galaxy of
States, nothing is hft to a mourning
nut ion hut ihe vivid lecollections of
lie once great fame and glory of tlie
proud State whose last sad rites lm*o
just been p* rforined. No longer does
the flag of the nation, that waves o’er
“ihe tiome of the oppressed of every
land,” .flaunt the star of Louisiana.
Death baft e eated a void that time
alone can fill.
Louisiana now sleeps beneath her
own and, enshrined in the memory of
her gallaht sons who fought so brave
v to save lu i from the vampires that
so erin l'y sucked her life blood away.
But her brave defenders look hopeful
ly forward to a day of resurrection
when the stone will be rolled from ihe
mout h of her sepulchre, and Louisiana
will rise in her might and shine once
again in her brightness as iu the days
of constitutional liberty.
A Fiendish Outrage -Two Chil
dren Burned to Death by a
Discharged Domestic.
A Kentucky pa| er tells the follow
ing horrible story: Some weeks ago
a woman calling herself Bridget Mal
iiony, applied to I)r. Jackson, of Co
lumbus, Kv., tor the place of cook.
Employment was given her, and for a
short, while she gave satisfaction. A
few days ago the doctor noticed some
irregularities in her life, and notified
her that she must look out for another
home. This appeared to infuriate her
beyond control —the pent up devil iu
her nature hurst fort in a fury of pas
sion that sent the doctor scampering
for the police, and the lamily lor an
of safety. When he returned,

she was not prosecuted, but allowed to
depart unmolested. From his resi
dence she went to tlie hotel or board

man Catholic, named Switzher, near
the M. and O. railroad. Blm easily
imposed herself upon the good nature
of lire lady, and was permitted to
stop with her, paying her board in
work. She behaved badly again, aud
Mrs. S. discharged her. Jnsteael of
going off, however, she vveut up into
Mrs. S.’s room (it was immediately
after breakfast ) and sent tor this lady
iroui tne dining room. When she got
into her presence she commenced to
abuse her in a most shameful manner,
Mrs. Switzlier tried to quiet her, and
expressed sympathy for her Bridget
told her she had better sympathize
with herself, and made at her. Mrs.
S. rushed down stairs, leaving her
three children, consisting of a little
boy four years old, two daughters
aged respectively six and ten, iu the
room. The oldest says that the two
children were in the bed with the mos
quito bar fastened down around it,
and that Bridget deliberately took the
lamp mid saturated the bed aud
children with coal oil and fired it.
