ir Southern c> wintry, which with the i
r.al whiter ruins, heavy reads, red
•ding of sperms, makes it very dif
alt for flic matmgors to make good
e prombes of the «g«nts. Such was
e case with John Robinson’s Circus
<1 Mi ru-g< r;e a few days since,
bile [H rimming in Tallahassee, Fla.,
was mentioned to Mr. J. F. Bobiu
m, Jr., that he might expect some
ftieulty in passing thiimgb a long arid
smal swamp between that place and
uiuey, on account of the large num
ber (>f alligftloi*s which infested the ford
t this particular locality, and who are
t this season of the year very ferc
fious, and on the watch for any un
{irtujinte mule < r horse that may be
iome entangled in the numerous roots,
quicksands, and holes, which abound
: t the ford; but he rc plied, as the ogeut
had already made the arrangements
or him to go through, and it was not
\{H nature to turn back, he had noth
ing left l*it to follow, trusting to his
.raviolis godtl A riuneiu getting thus
i.ir. Ti e result of his decision, al
though anticipating some difficulty,
was far more serious than he anticipa
ted.
At three o’clock V. M, on Tuesday,
January ‘2sth, Pi of. Lew is Houston,
who has charge of the animals, started
.with the elephant Empress, the large
|Bractian camel, the beautiful Arabian
j white camel, a line thorough bred
,in ire and colt, and two spotted coach
cl >u's, to make the trip to Quincy, al
though repeatedly warned by Mr. J'
F. Robinson, Jr., not to attempt, the
passage of the swamp in any other
, than daylight. He however went
through. Before approaching the ford,
uu occasional bellow or roar was heard
betokening that the inhabitants of the
locality hod not retired for the night,
and a sudden plunge and splash in the
water would denote that the enemy
were oh the aGrt for mischief. The
elephant would *>very few steps, throw
her trunk aloft., emitting at the same
t me a lou 1 sen c iof defiai co, the cam
els ultering low moans while the horses
almost r< fu-ied to stir, arid stood tremb
ling with fear, while the dogs kept up
an incessant howling. Approaching
the water of the ford, Houston deter
mined upon the immediate passage
through before the alligators had time
to summon their ©raw.
Bidding the elephaut enter, she step
ped boldly in at tlie same time lashing
the water furiously with her trunk, the
camels, horses and dogs following close
in the rear. He had passed two-thirds
of the way when a sharp yelp of pain
from one of the dogs and his sudden
disappearance denoted that the swamp
fiends were at work, and before he
could collect hi. thoughts the other
dog went under with a long death
howl. He now began to think of his
own safety, and calling to the elephant
so a TeaTfnf tonrrivrts nearer rfcrm drrb
large Bactrain camel who had at that
instant been attacked. The water
seemed alive wfth alligators. The
roaring bellowing and screeching of
< lephant, camels and alligators were
b irdie. They would throw their pon
derous jawi open and tear badge piec
es of flesh from the camel, while the
poor brute would utter heartrending
groans and cries for relief. Iu the
mean time the elephant was not idle.
Ever solicitous for the wri&tra of her
keeper and c. mpauions, she had, at
t iie moment of seeing them safely lan
ded upon the opposite shore, rushed
back to the assistance of her friend,
toe camel, who by this time was near
ly go ie, and by creating the greatest
furor ; among her assailants, succeeded
in brining the head of the camel to the
shire, that portion being all that re
mained of tiie poor animal.
Iu the confusion that ensued, Hous
ton did not miss the colt until warned
bv a shrill scream or neigh, which
seemed to come from several rods be
low. Updu rushing down the stream
a few yards a terrible scene was pre
sented to his view. It would seem
th it the denizens of Chattahoochee
swamp for miles around had become
cog lizent of some extra attraction at
that particular point on this night,and
had started for the rendezvous, and
upon reaching the scene of action had
unexpectedly encountered both food
and opposition at the same time—for,
simuliuueous with the meeting of the
colt they met their pursuers, and an
awful battle ensued. Several times it
UitS if the colt would escape and
regain the shore, so busy were the alli
gators in destroying each other; but
just before the i>oor creature would
reach the land, some monster, more
ravenous than brave, would leave tire
melee, pursue and drag it back into
deep water, until finally it became ex
hausted and fell an easy prey to the
f 'arfu! reptiles,'while Professor Hous
ton s!(xxi looking on with blanched
terri.ted lo ks wh:liy unable to ren
der the last assistance, threatened
with a terrible death should he even
attempt it. As lie turned to retrace
bis steps towards the place where he
left the remaining animals, he counted
the cost. He had made tiie passage,
but at a tenable sacrifice. He had
started with an elephant, two camels,
two dogs and two horses, lie came
out with an elephant, one camel and
one horse. The camel was valued at
$5,000, and very rare. The colt Mr.
Robinson had repeatedly refused SI,OOO
fox. It will be many a long year before
Houston will forget tiie horrors of pass
ing through a Florida swamp at night.,

Tin's ! oily, after a recess of a fort
night, convened again ci. last Monday.
Nothing was done on Monday except
.the discussion of the Senatorial ques
tion , which eub.iiuJcd in the decision
; to bring off the election of U. S. Sena
tors on Ju: sday. The follov.ing item,
clipped fiom Ike Allnnta CcmfUvlicn,
of Tuesday, sums ivp the days work :
Much Slkatobs.—The election of
Radical Senators tc-dey pits Georgia
in a booming ct udition. Wo have,
1 since the war, el« cted Johnson and
Stephens, Damn vatic; Hill and Miller,
Conservative Rq übiieau, and now
come Blodgett, Farrow and Whitely,
plain out Radical. Poor Sambo has
been left in 'lie cold entirely, ehousel
ed clear out of his lights by the Bul
lock taction. On fee should remember
this.
; Nor for a stiff tussle in Congress be
tween Hill and Miller and tiie Bullock
I contribution of Senatorial stuff. The
| news from Washington is cheering for
the firmer. If they succeed, there will
, be a heavy grin on Bullock’s squad.
But no one can charge us w itli not fur
nishing plenty of material for Congress
to choose from.—Atlanta Constitution,
15 th.
It is rumored that the Judiciary
Committee decided to report a bill for
the admission of Georgia without con
ditions—of this there can be little
douot. It is also said that the majori
ty of the Committee consider the elec
tion of Kill and Miller legal, and will
; so report. On this point outside s' aic
! meats differ, some contending that a
new Senatorial election will be requir
| ed.
It is expected that the President
will issue a proclamation on Saturday,
, declaring the 15th Amendment rati
-1 fled by the requisite number of States.

Goods manufactured in Georgia are

[Hcrjx’r'x TJ nekly.
This brief statement is full of signifi
cance. No fact could more plainly tell
the tale of the subjection of our indus
try and resources lo the controlling
capital and established commercial
power of the Nor h. The goods from
our factories go first to Northern cit
ies for wholesale, because there is not
I commercial capital enough at home to
I take them in the quantities and at the
times suited to the needs of the manu
| Cos usTor reiaiLaiicf f omisumpj^fon,'
: dened with the profits charged by the
I Northern jobbers. And tLis is part of
the tribute money constantly pai 1 by
the South to the North.
We do not propose new to under
| take the task of show ing how this ec
l centric movement of commerce could
be made to take its mere simple, eco
nimical and natural course. We have
tried to do so iu former articles, and
i we believe that our people generally
perceived the modes by which it could
be accomplieked, but are discouraged
by the formidable character of the ob
stacles to be encountered, and delayed
by the la ck of anything like concert of
action among themselves. Let us hope
that we aic every year becoming more
able to grapple with the former, and
gradually overcome the latter of these
difficulties.
Our chief object, at present, in di
recting attention to the comprehensive
truth copied at the head of this article,
is to make a suggestion to Southern
merchants. Is it uot too plain a prop
osition to require argument, that they
can buy their goods cheaper from the
Southern manufacturers direct than
from the Northern jobbers to whom
those manufacturers sell or consign
their goods in the first instance? Can
either our manufactures or our com
merce flourish as they should, so long
as home-made goods are sent a thou
sand miles away and then brought
back to the locality of their manufac
ture paying considerable freight charg
es both ways, as well as a profit to the
distant jobber?* ‘'Carrying coals to
Newcastle” is not considered a wise or
profitable commercial operation else
where, and if cur “reconstruction” l as
made it so for us, Yankee cupidity has
overreached itself for the first time.—
Let Southern merchants establish clos
er commercial relations with Southern
manufacturers—especially the manu
facturers of Southern commodities—
and they will thereby not only enable !
themselves to sell many goods cheaper, i
but they will do much to promote a j
healthier condition of trade, industry J
and enterprise at the South.— Colum

Tetter from Col. J. G. Stocks, Tc-
Itania, California.
Through the kindness of Caj t. D.
W. K. Peacock, we are pivmi’.ud to
extract a few items from a hater rc- •
ceivcd by him from CoL Jack Stocks,
a few days since.
Col. Stocks says :
As for the country, the inovr I see
of it. the better I like it. The great
1 rouble here is labor—it is scarce and
high. As for Chinese labor, that U all i
a humbug, and the worst of ho’.Tugs.;
They are as.worthless a set of: aimak 1
as lives on the earth, and will prove a
curse to any country they are iulro- !
duced into us laborers. They are not j
only indolent, filthy and stubborn, but.
will steal every thing they can get the!,
bauds on.
As for myself, I am farming in a
small way, intending to devote most ct
my time to stock. I have ten aer< s
sown in barley, and fifteen acres iu
wheat, and shall plant about five acres
in corn and three in \ otatoes, which
will give’ me a large surplus of every
I thing to out. I have about seven hun
dred bead of sheep on the shares, that
I take and take caie of, and get half of
: the wool and half the increase, which
pays well. Sheep here aio worth $3
!pir head, and, with proper care, will
double every year, besides shear $1 50
worth of wool. Sj you see sheep are
a paying institution, and as sorn as I
am able, I want to go into sheep rais
ing extensively. But the best paying
! business here, for the money invested,
'is turkeys. They cost nothing but a
little attention, and are ready sale at
your door for $1 per head. My wife
( has one hundred hens, from which she
! expects to raise at least eight hundred,
and perhaps one thousand this yen-. -
j There is a kind of muilen hero that
grows spontaneously all over the prai
ries, and is filled with seed which
poultry of every kind feed on, and
they require no other feed whatever.
So you see that poultry raising is a
good business of itself. The fact is, it
is the best country for a poor man to
make a rise I ever saw, if he will work,
but it is no country for a drone; but ii
a man will work, at any thing he
pleases, he can soon be independent.
You aeked about strawberries and
raspberries. They grow here, as well
as every other kind of fruit you can
! mention, to the greatest perfection.—
As to the cotton seed, we would be
; glad to have you send ns a few to ex
periment with, and for the curiosity,
but I have no idea that if tlie !nml
would produce two bales to the acre
that it would bo cultivated to any ex
tent, for the reason that the labor is
not here, and cotton requires too much
work to pay, at the price of labor in
this country.

The “Green Line.”—What it is and
who Control it. —The recent excur
sion has occassioned the inquiry among
a good many of our citizens, “What is
the Green Line ?” It is a co-opera
tive freight line from Cincinnati to
Savannah, composed of the following
railroads : Louisville and Naskvill -,
and Northwestern, Nashville and Chat
tanooga, Western and Atlantic, which
is intersected by the Selma, Rome and
Dalton, at Kingston, and will be com
pleted in a few months, the Georgia,
South Carolina, Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta, Macon and Western.
Macon and Brunswick, Atlantic and
Gulf, Atlanta and West Point, and
Montgomery and West Point Rail
road.
Those roads have signed the com
pact w hieh takes freight from Cincin
nati to Savannah direct without change
of cars. The distances are : Cincin
nati to Louisville, by the Short Line.
107 miles; Louisville to Nashville, 135
miles; Nashville to Chattanooga, 151
miles; Chattanooga to Atlanta, 128
miles; Atlanta to Macon, 103 miles;
Macon to Savannah, 202 miles; total,
88G miles from Cincinnati to Savan
nah.
Before the Green Line was estab
lished, four years ago, Southern and
Western merchants were obliged to
pay a much heavier freightage, besides
having to wait four times as long foi
returns. A through bill of lading
could not be obtained. Each road col
ic cted is local freight, and it required 1
fom one to two weiks’ time to deliver
thorn. By the Green Line fa term of
designation merely, the cars being
painted green) freight reach the same
point in from four to six days, shippers
receive a through bill of lading, rmil
the rates, arc less by ten percent, than
by the old rouse ConMitulionalid.
Not Necessary.
| The Alabama Senate having asked
Governor Smith why the State militia
has not been organized, he replied by
aspecial message on Thursday last,
that for the reasons set forth in hi.-
Message, he had not deemed it nece
Siiry or proper to organize any por
tionof it.

A Good Decision. —The Early Coun
ty News says : On last Tuesday there
was a very important decision made
in the Justice Court of this District, in
the case of the State ’vs. Converse
Averett, for hiring a negro who was in
the employ of Air. A. J Merrier. The
jury found the defendant guilty, and
the court imposed a fine of SSO. We
hope this decision will have a good ef
fect, and make people more careful
about how they hire hands in the em
ploy of others.

A Green Line correspondent writes
of the following colloquy between a
Cincinnati excursionist and aGoobe.-
grabbor at Manila :
“What a queer way you have of
building your houses down here, my
friend.” says a Cincinnati delegate to
one of the Marietta loungers. “You
build die chimneys first, and then put
the houses up afterwards, it seems.”
“Hell, ando 1 ” replied the lounger. “That
fellow Sherman came near getting and
- well licked over there at Kenesaw,
so he got mad and came over here and
burned the place. That’s what made
them chimneys look that way.’’

The Tar boro’ North Carolinian is re

There is a man living in the moun
ta’us if. North Carolina, not more than
forty miles from Greenville, S. C., who
has reached the extraordinary age of
113 years. At the time of Braddock’s
defeat he was twenty years old, and
had a wife and three children. A gen
this man, who has come down to us
from a former generation, has always
been in moderate circumstances, lived
upon a plain, coarse, vegetable diet ;
that he had never drank any liquid
but pure spring water, and bids fair to
live many years longer. He enjoys
perfect health, possesses all of man
hood! attributes, and wants to marry.
He has survived seven wives, and hav
