The bill granting State aid to the
Atlantic and Gulf IlailroailAto en-

made the onier of the day in tlie
House for to-day. In view of tin?
great importance of this extension
to our seaport and to the State at
large, it is to be hoped that the bill
will be promptly passed by the
House. Apart from considerations’
of interest, the State having a large
amount of money already invested
in the road, it must be admitted that
no public enterprise for the develop
ment of tlie agricultural wealth and
the promotion of the commerce of
Georgia has superior, claims for
State aid. .No railroad in the State
has conferred greater benefits on
the section of country traversed by
it than the Atlantic and Gulf, and in*
view of its becoming the Southern
Atlantic terminus of the great South
ern Pacific Hoad, it is second in im
portance to no other railroad in the
South. The following is the bill,
which, having passed the Senate, is
now pending in the House:
A bill to be entitled an act to pro
tect the interest of the State of Geor
gia in the Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road, and to’carrv out the original
ujrjcct ol the charter of said road.
Whereas, In the act of the Gener
al Assembly of Georgia, incorpora
ting the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad
Company, it is declared to be the
intention of the State to construct a
main trunk road to couneet the At
lantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexi
co; a ml whereas, for this purpose
the State subscribed one million of
dollars to tlie stock of said company,
ami has now an interest in said
road, including the payment of said
stock and the property of said -com
pany since accumulated, amounting
to over two millions of dollars; and
whereas^ the original purpose of
said act of incorporation has not
been carried out; and whereas, if
said purpose is not consummated by
completing the road'so as to reach
the said Gulf of Mexico, the State
runs great danger of losing all its
present investments and interest in
said road: Therefore, in order to
protect the interests of the State,
ami to enable the said company to
accomplish the purpose of ite incor
poration.
Sr.e. 1. The General Assembly of

ted, That as soctp as his Excellency t
the Governor shall inced

miles, the indorsement shall be at

considered as foreclosed so far as the

law, to foreclose the sat::':; and fur

Jos xi Billings in N. Y. Weekly.
the Philadelphia Post:
.To call axnan a “Colonel” is to
to do still better.
Always teed your hands as well
as yourself, for the laboring men are
the bone and sinew ol the land, and
ought to be well treated.
I am satisfied that early rising, in
dustry anil regular habits are the
best meditines ever prescribed lbr
hcalrh. ■
Study your interest closely, and
do not spend' vonr time fh electing
Presidents, Senators, and other small
officers, or talking of tiara tfrods
when spending ycnxr time whittling
store-boxes, etc?
Take year time and make calcula
tions. Don’t do things in a hurry,
but-do them at the right time and
employed.—Ruralist.
Concerning Colonels.—The too
profuse use of the title of “Colonel”
elicits these pertinent remarks from
meek,' and benevolent disposition,
tuhr also an evidence that he never
was a soldlffr. For instance, we may
recall some of the Colonels of Phila
delphia. There is Colonel Forney,
Colonel McClure, McMiehadQ Colo
nel Scott, Colonel Mann, Colonol
Fitzgerald, Colonel Phillips, Colouel
Hinchen, Colonel Green, andColoiiel
Fritz. * Of what regiment? And we
might mention many more gentlemen
of high standing who have never
been in the army, and can only be
called “Colonel” as a tribute to their
antipathy to blood. If every Colonel
was a soldier, the standing army in
iladelphia would be g, menace to
liberties--. Their number is as
t as it was in Sqn Francisco, to
which John Phoenix bears witness in
tim following story: The steamboat
was leaving the wharf, and every
body was taking leave of friends—
all but Phoenix, who had no friend to
bid him farewell. Ashamed of., his
loneliness, as the boat sheered off,
he called out,' in a loud voice, “Good
bye, Colonel!” and to liis great de
light, every man on the wharf took
off his hat and shouted, “Colonel,
good-bye J”
Tlie Great Farmer’s Maxims.
The successful life of Mr. Jacob
Strawn, the priace of American farm

vation of the following maxims origi
nated by himself.
When you wake up, do not roU
over, but out. It will give jou time
to ditch all your slougljS, break them,
harrow them.
Make your fencing high and strong
and tight, so that it will keep the
cattle and pigs out.
If you have brush, make your lot
secure and keep your hogs li’orii the
cattle; for if the corn is' kept clean,
they will eat it better than if it is
not.

by force of circumstances. Pay a

I Executive Depabtmest,
Jeffhkson Qi-ry, Aug. 8, 187?.
Gcntbemcn of the Committee: I
have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication ad
vising me that- I had been unani
mously nominated as candidate for
the Vice-Presidency’ of the United
States at Baltimore. For this mark
of confidence on the part of so large
a representative body of my fellow-
citizens I cannot too deeply express
my gratitude. The distinction is
one which I feel to be in a grbat
measure undeserved, where so many
more suitable' cpuld have been found,
and yet should your action be con
firmed I shall'endeavor to discharge
the duties of that high place with
fidelity to your trust, with devotioh
to tlie public intei-est, and with in
flexible resolution to prove not un
worthy of such choice. The fact that
it reposes also upon the declaration
of principles affirmed by the Liberal
Republicans at Cincinnati, and pro
claimed without' amendment by the
Democratic party at Baltimore,
gives assurance that in this . com
bined expression there is sought
only the deliverence of the nation
from £ present great peril to its
peace and liberties. To that end all
minor considerations have been sub
ordinated, and an illustration pre
sented to the country of unselfish
patriotism rather than stickling lor
party advantage, which should con
vince all of the perfect sincerity of
this movement. It has involved no
surrender on either part of any
former convictions. It has not been
negotiated or .bargained. Its origin
was ii-om the people. • Though ’ dif
fering in the past or. some issues of
great, magnitude, yet, now that they
arc settled, there is hearty concur
rence between u3 all upon the vital
question agitating the public mind.
What conduct of national affairs
that involves your convention has
well set. forth in its- # platform, and
its true accord With the Democratic
ideas that guided our earlier admin
istrations is the best guarantee that
it will restore equal rights, tranquil
develo^bieat, and constitutional rule.
Permit me, also gentlemen, through
you, to express my thanks to the
great masses of your party who have
sine# ratified the action with such
signal unanimity, aniKo say to them,
in accepting this their nomination,
I do sd believing there is'nothing in
honor or in conscience that should
prevent the most cordial co-opera
tion henceforth-in behalf of the poli
ties presented
that a severe illness ha3 intervened
since the reception of your commu-
ication, w’hiclt has delayed this re
ply until my recovery and return

1 Tlie Old White Hat.
A song for tile Hat the Old White Hat,
With a chorus loud and long;
Let tho notes ring out with a joyous shout,
From an army of voters strong;
To a victory’s crown, as Grant's sun goes
down, •
And his light in tho West fades out,
It wifi swiftly turu, and our hearts will burn,
As we greet it with a shout.
Chobus—Then here’s to tlie Hat, tho Old
White Hat,
It has won an honest renown,
Tliat will still abide when oblivions tide
Shall cover the sword bought crown.
In the days of old, when hearts grew cold,
In the cause of the sore oppresL
It’s pen was a sword that by fitting word
With triumph the good cause blest;
And when 13-day, comes a woman gray,
To. plead for a dying man.
It has dared prove true to the helpless few,
In spite of a party's ban.
Chobvs—Then here's to the Hat, Ac.
It will see rare days, when the bonfires blaze,
And the North and the South ring out
Fate’s high behest, and the East and the West
Respond with a victor’s shout;
Now Gr/int holds sway, and we all obey,
But too long has this Kaiser sat
In our chair of state, where we patiently wait
To welcome the Old White Hat.
Chobus—Then here’s to the Hat, A.
It is said that baiduess is becoming
fearfully prevalent among the ladies,
caused by* the chignon fashion.
What was designed as an ornament
will become a necessity to hide de
