The Albany Central City reports the Flint river out of its banks, and rapidly flooding the adjacent country. It promises a heavier swell than hat been seen for years. Mr. M. C. Rodrioces, a wealthy Cuban, ha* purchased Bt. Catharine’s Island from the estate of Jacob Walburg, of Savannah, for the sum of one hundred thousand dollars. -t* ■ The Albany Mews reports that Rev. Dr. Boring** health has so far tailed him that he has been com. pelled to give up the paetorateof theM. E. Church in that city for the present. The Talbotton Standard says that R. If. Bul loch, a lawyer ot that county, attempted to com mit suicide a few davg since by cutting his throat acd stabbing himself in the left breast, while un der the iufluence of delirium tremens. Mr. Thomas Kemison, of Lincoln county, while conveying his cotton to the Augusta market by boat down the Savannah river, lost thirty seven bales. The hgh water carried the boat against the canal dam. The Ilawkinsville Dispatch has a notice of the death of Judge Sparrow, one of the moat promi nent and useful citizens of that town, which oc curred last Wednesday night week. He was Or dinary of that county from 1862 to the election last January. ** ■ Tm; vote of Augusfn at the election on Wednes day last was 705, of which number Mr. Stephen* received 655, 42 t. ing cast for Col ,1.

The Rah.road. —The Griffin News says it has “information such as to leave little doubt of its correction, that Capt. G. J. Forenere has been appointed Superintendent of the Macon and Western Railroad. Capt. Foreacre was connected with this road at Griffin many years ago, and was well known for his efficiency and hia career since lias been one of success in the railway bus iness. We hear it ia doubtful as to his accept ing.” Ttic v., toys that Mr. TUm Arkwright, oJ| Savannah, lias purchased Little Tybee Island. He has luid oil one hundred building lots on Beach Hammock, and proposes to give them away to parties who will build residences thereon. Sev eral have already been disposad of. The beach is about a mile and a half in length and two hundred yards wide, and a summer residence there would be delightful. The Teli graph and Messenger informs us that the health of all who have been ill about Wesleyan Female College, is entirely restored. Dr. Myers has been pronounced well by his physicians, and again allowed tree run of the city. The exercises of the school could now very well be resumed without the shadow of a risk to the health of any of the young ladies. It has been deemed prudent, however, not to resume the exercises of the school until the 12th day of March. This delay is meant to allay any apprehensions that may still linger in the minds of the patrons of the school.— —• The Thomasville Enterprise has this: Mr. Joshua P. Smith, of Harrell, Decatur county, Ga. writes us that a negro woman on his plantation, last Saturday morning, took an axe andstruckher sleeping husband a terrible blow- or the shoulder, but not killing him, he called her father, also asleep in the room, when the female demon turned aud dealt her father a blow which killed him in stantly. She then returned to her husband and dealt him another blow, this time on the side of the head,which was thought sufficient to kill him, but up to the time of writing he still lived,though mortally wounded. i Tub Canal Report.—We give to day the full report of the Committee ou Commerce, of the United States House of Representatives, upoo the Atlantic aud Great Western Canal bill. This report was unanimously adopted by the commit tee ar.d is now spread upon the Journals of Con gress. The report of the committee is emphati cally favorable and will be perused with interest by all. The Senate has also appointed a committee on the same subject, but no report is expected until the next session, and after a visit to the sections through which the proposed improvemon will pass. Inauguration Day —Geu. Grant will don the Presidential harness tor a second term to-day The dispatches inform us that the crowd in Wash ington is the largest ever eongrt gated on a similar occasion. And the arrangements for a display almost equal to that of an Imperial fete are elabo rate. 11 spared by Providence the country will be ruled four years longer by cne who has heretofore governed harshly so lar as the people cf the South were concerned. They have, nevertheless, obeyed the powers that have been : let us trust that the exactions of the next four years will not be so se vere. The ambition ot the President is satisfied, unless he d.-sires to wear the robes of imperialism and centralize the government: if satisfied we can hope ; if not, heaven help the people. Col. Forney, in his last paper on public men In the Washington Sunday Chronicle, records an utterance of Edwin M. Stanton, which is of inter est at the present juncture. It was in the fall of just after Siek'.ts had been appointed miffs ter to Spain. Forney, in company with the new minister, called on Stanton in Washington, where the latter seemed just dropping iuio his grave. The ex Secretary remarked: l * We must make no mistake about Spain. She is one of our oldest and ablest allies, and behaved splendidly to us during the rebellion, refusing to open her port* to the Confederate cruisers, and never p ouing through her minister here, like England, against our cause, i'be Spaniards are a p>rond, j>eculiar race, aud we eannot do any good for Cuba by haty action Their prejudices must be respected ; their interests must not be invaded; their traditions must not be remembered. Things are moving in tLe right way at Madrid. I know this, gentlemen. There is anew spaiu, and you will both live to see a soiid Spanish republic there it we can oulv restrain our politicians about Cuba. That pear is ripening, and will tall as soon as the davs oi the kings are ended in Spain.'’ Andy Johnson and Colfax. A dispatch from Washington recalls the fact that when, five years ago, the House ot Represen tative* {wared resolution* of impeachment against Andrew Johnaoa, Mr. „ulf,x v*a-> speaker. After the roll tad been called through on that occasioo, and the Hoa*e and gsllerits Were with breathless anxiety waiting the ann ruucemsnt of the vote, Mr. Colfax, standing in his place, said it was not usual for the Speaker to vote, except on ques tion* wheie there was a tie, bat he was unwilling that his constituents should be voiceless on an occasion so momentous. He therefore directed the clerk to cad his name, and be voted aye. Neither he, his friends or his enemies then sup posed that a few years later resolutions looking to his own impeachment would be introduced, and that they would come within three votes ot being adopted, finch was, however, the case. The resolution to prefer articles of impeachment against the Vice-President were lost in the House by a small majority—yeas 106, nays 109. And those members of the House that were implicated with Colfax in the Credit Mobilier swindle voted nay—thus In sustaining the chief sinner support ing themselves. It is asserted in Washington that three Demo crats and two Republicans of the Judiciary Com mittee favor a report impeaching Colfax. This constitutes a majority of the committee. The press dispatch announcing the result of the House says: An examination of the vote shows the preseuce of ninetv-seven Democratic members, all ot whom voted affirmatively. The only Republicans voting affirmatively were Messrs. Beatty and Stevenson, of Ohio; Boles, of Arkan-as, Butler, of Massa chusetts; Farnsworth, of Illinois; Goodrich, of New York; Morphia, of Mississippi; gutter, of Virginia, and Smith, of Vermont. Messrs. Dawes, Garfield, Bingham and fichofleld, who are among those implicated in the Crecit Mobilier business, but who were not convicted by Judge Poland’s report, all voted against considering the resolu tion, and it will thus be seen these gentlemen ac tually anved Mr. Colfax for the time being. Messrs. Ames, Kelley and Brooks very properly abstained from voting. The remarks npon Dawes, Garfield, Bingham and Schofield were not at all complimentary. In view of the facts set forth in Poland’s report, it was remarked that they should at least have retrained from voting. Binguurn hes itated at first, but he concluded to follow the ex ample set by Dawes. * The Republicans felt that they had placed them selves in an awkward position, and so, alter Mr. Wood’s resolu'iou was voted down, Mr. Tyner offered one which was practically the same as that oliered by Mr. Wood, except that Mr. Col fax’s name was omitted. This was adopted unan imously and without a call of the roll. Judge Bingham is chairman ol the Judiciary Commit tee, to which the resolution was referred, and there is some curiosity to know whether he will participate in the deliberations of the committee when they come to consider the resoution. The opinion is almost universal here that the gentle men named in Poland’s report should abstain from participation in questions affecting other members, at least until after Tuesday next, and after the House has disposed of the report.;. To-day Andy Johnson, whatever may have been his faults, occupies a more honorable position than the hypocrite who five years ago forced him self into an act of persecution against the Presi dent. “Curses, like chickens, always come home to roost!” Quotation of Georgia Bonds. Under this head the ChroDicle aud Sentinel re. plies as follows, to those who it says have as serted that the State’s credit in New Y r ork Las been greatly damaged by the action of the Legis lature with reference to those bonds issued by Bullock, and which that body declared null and void: According to their statements, the damage done was so great that it has been impossible to dis pose ot the legal bunds of Georgia except at a ruinous discount it was useless to reply that the quotations of the State securities in the finan cial articles of New York papers showed that our bonds had advanced in value rather than declined since the fraudulent obligations had been ignored. The invariable reply was these quotations were not understood; they did not give the market price of the bonds, but the figures aj which own ers held them, and there were really no bidders. Georgia bonds might be quoted at 88 and 91), but no one would touch them at anything like those prices, if, indeed, they could be negotiated at all. Very well. We will uow give these well posted writers something else to explain. Three cDys since, according to the money article of a New York daily, 88 cents were bid for new Georgia bonds —BB cent* were bid, not asked. Will they explain this for us? Is this a mere nominal question, | which cannot bjw taken as any indication ot the value of State securities ? or does it show that the credit of Georgia ha 6 not been so badly damaged as the ring alleges ? The people of Georgia are watching the finan cial progress of their common treasury with the deepest interest. Our information from Atlanta is that there is s reasonable prospect of the au thorities being able to dispose of new bonds suffi cient to meet the liabilites of this fiscal year, with out making any unusual sacrifice. Should they do this the bond compromisers will be frustrated, now and forever. Wht Amadeus Abdicated. —Information ou this and other subjects, true or false, is conveyed in a London dispatch to the New York Herald ot the 24th: In the complications that induced Amadeus to abdicate, thb possible declaration of the Spanish republic was never for a moment contemplated. It was a complete surprise; a veritable coup d'etat. Amadeus would not have abdicated had he deemed this consequence ot his act any degree probable, Inasmuch as the two latin nations, France and Spain, having each a republican gov ernment, would have enormous infiuence on the third Latin nation, thus directly endangering his father’s throne. Amadeus abdicated in the ex pectation that he would be re-called by the army, whose side he has taken against the ministry. For this he remained in Portugal. The artillery offi cers are all monarchists, ail members of old fami lies. He believed that as he cast away the throne rather than act with the ministry who were de termined to humiliate the army, they would pro nounce in his tavor, and he would return at their bead, his hands being then free from constitution al trammels. But he w T as completely checkmated by the turn of events. Apparently it was seme suspicion of this that induced many members of the Cortes, not Republicans, to vote with the Re publican party in order to overreach the royal mauceuver. Amadeus, however, seems not to have relinquished his hope for recall. Shots at thb Credit Mobilier Fellows.— The Courier-Journal turns loose its paragraphic batteries at these innocents after this fashion ; According to the Poland committee, it was a grave crime in Oakes Ames to buy up Scofield, Garfield, Bingham and some others with Credit Mobilier stock, but Scofield, Garfield, Bingham and some others didn’t mean any harm by selling themselves to Oakes Ames for Credit Mobilier stock. Hang a rule that won’t work both ways. Or hang Oakes Ames and the rest ot them, we don’t care which. If we agree to pay Spain $50,000,000 for Cuba, asks an exchange, where and how would we get the money? About the surest and easiest way to get it would be to give the Credit Mobilier and its Congressional friends half a chance to steal it. The Cincinnati Commercial says of the Credit ! Mobilier rascals that “ there is not one ot them j that did not know when he touched the stock j that it was dirty.” Whether they knew it or not, ! they must at lea*t have known that it would be dirty if they did touch it. A bill has been introduced in the Tennessee j Legislature to secure sherifls their fees. Ames | and Pattersou and Col.ax and a number of others are talking ot introducing a bill in Congress to abolish sheriffs altogether. Thb Herald informs the public that at the last session of the Georgia Legislature a bill incorpo rating the “Mining, Manufacturing and Immi gration Company,” which passed both branches o the General Assembly, failed to meet the Govern or’s approval. A bill of similar character, viz: A bill to incorporate the “ Southern Land and Immigration Company,” introduced into the Legislature at the instance of Hon. Herschel V. Johnson and Major H. W. King, passed both Houses, and was signed by his Excellency. There should be no mistake by the public in reference to this matter. The Herald Washington correspondent of the 23d says there are all sorts of rumors afloat in the Capitol to-day about some coming exposes of a stupendous nature. The most startling one prom ised is in relation to the Pacific Mail subsidy. It is said that some more Christian statesmen in Congress will be sacrificed when that matter is folly opened up. An attack of toothache delayed a Green Bay wedding three hours. The groom and the clergy man went rabbit hunting while the bride went jumping around and yelling “Oh, my jaw !” A boy ot thirteen, convicted of nqurder, re cently escaped from a Mexican prison. Tlie Great Canal Before Coagre**. The Atlantic and Great Western Canal-Report of the Congressional Committee : it is proposed to conntct by canal and slack water navigation—the Coosa, Etowah and Occnul gee river*, the Tennessee liver, at Guiiitrsviiie, Alabama, with the Atlantic Oiean, at Savannah, Georgia. Commencing at Guntersville, the most southern point reached by the Tennessee river, thence to Coosa, thirty miles distant, which it enters aud follows to Rojne, Georgia, up to which point the 000-a river i- navigable for large steamboats at all seasons of the year. From Rome the canal follows the Etowah river to its nearest point ofcontact with the Ocmulgee, and thence down the latter stream to navigable water and the Atlan’ic Ocean. By this means the entire navigable waters of the States of Alabama, East Mississippi and West Florida will be connected with the vast inland sea comprised in the term “ Mississippi river and tributaries,” also the navigable gys't-m of ths States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida aud part of North Carolina, embracing about 5,000 miles of water easily navigated by vessels of light draught, tued upon canals. These vessels would penetrate the streams and estuaries above referred to, into almost every portion ot these six States— States that produce the major poxtion ot the cot ton raised upon this continent. The census ot 1870 shows, that Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Florida—the States which would be directly effected by the construction ot this canal—had an aggregate popu’ation of 3 074,- 455. These States produce 57,215,600 bushels of grain. Their average consumption, according to data furnished by the Bureau of Statistics, is 104,521,- 470 bushels. This leaves a deficit of 47,305,770 basheD to be supplied by other States. As the larger portion of this grain is needed along the sea board, in what is known as the cotton belt,we may assume the distance from St. J ouis to Sa vannah as the average distance this grain is moved. This would make the cost ot transportation of each ton #l4 49, at cents per ton per mile The Engineer’s report gives the cost by the {iroposed canal, at 88 per ton for the same dis tance, that is from St. Louis to Savannah. This is a saving o’ #9 52 upon eieh ton, and an aggregate saving of #15,647, 024 72 upon one article in a sin gle year, the development of a latent value of uearly fourteen millions to be developed between the producer aud the consumer. These Slates produce 2,682 hhds. of sugar, 172,- 232,812 lbs. ol rice, and 1.167,705 bales of cotton. The number of bales equals nearly half the cotton product ot the United States. The great need of this section is cheap food ; its soil and climate is not adapted to the produc tion of giain.aud the high price of breadstufis has retarded its developemen*. The opening oi the proposed canal will supply this need. The census gives the average price of corn in these States at 97 cents per bushei, and wheat at #1 91. in many counties, and especially in the cotton belt, corn is seldom less thin Si 50 per bushel, and often more than #2 00 per bushel. The value of the cotton crop of these States ex ceeds #144,000,000. The scarcity of food and the excessive prices demanded, forces more than five millions of acres of these States in’o grain. This takes away from the production of cotton about one-half the labor and capital oi the South. These acres planted in cotton would add 2,500,000 bales to a foreign ex port, and increase the value of that export about #200,000,000 annually, which would cause the wealth of the world to flow toward us instead of away from us as it has been doing in times past. When we reflect that the West produces a vast surplus of food—which now is worthless because it has no market —we are led to the conclusion, that cheap transportation is the great aud pressing need, not only of the South and West, but ot the whole country. The uniting of these two systems of navigation, tvhieh may be aptly termed “ inlard seas,” and upon whose, borders products so widely different in character grow, is of such evident importance to the prosperity of ;he whole country that it re quires ro discussion. Tuat it will double the product of cotton *e btli ve ; that it wili open a home market to the grain and food producing sections, r. quirts no demostratioa ; and that the surplus breadstufis of the country may be export id a 1 : a protit, and the exportation of cotton largely increased is susceptible ot the clearest proof. The Engineer officer in charge of the survey of this canal, in his report, says : “it may be said for it that, whiie it enjoys every advantage possessed by the others, it is superior to them all in this, that it will never be obstructed by ice; will never be rendered impassable by drought,; does not descend sufficiently low into the heated region to have its cargoes injured by heat or moisture; will require no rehandling of cargo between the points of shipment and dis charge ; and will cost but little more than the Erie Canal enlarged, while its capacity will be greater, and no doubt it will, like the Erie Canal, pay for the original outlay, interest, expenses of repair, and service, with a large balance to its credit, in tbe course of thirty years.” Since 1860, the North has constantly ad actively progressed. Its harbors have been improved, its rivers cleaned out; ship canals have been con structed and liberal appropriations, grants and subsidies lor internal improvements have been demanded and obtained. On the other hand, Southern been tilled up, its rivers are “ a waste of wfljre.” All it has to-day # is a few impoverishedTaiiroads, badly managed, and controlled in the interest of capital, whose exor bitant rates discourage and harass productive in dustry and retard the development oi a rich and fertile section. Iu the construction of this work the Company asks no laud giant, subsidy or appropriation of money. It proposes to build this canal with its own means, asking only that the Government will assure the holders of the Company’s bonds, that the interest they are entitled to, will be paid by the Company as it matures; and to save the United States harmless iu its undertaking, the entire work is mortgaged to the Government in-' eluding its property, rents, tells aud revenues of every description. The Company does not ask the indorsement of the principal ot the bonds, hat S3 fast as it com pletes ten miles of its canal, it asks that the in terest be guaranteed ou its bonds to the extent of #BO,OOO per mile. The work will remain forever a free public high way to all who desire to use it, upon the payment of such toll as will be just and. equitable, aud for all government uses it will be toll iree.

The Bowles brothers’ failure is said to have materially affected the credit and standing of nearly all the baking houses in Europe. The aggregate of agricultural implements at the close of 1872 foots up at $52,000,000, or about three times as much as in 1860. The re is a reported deficiency of over twen ty-two millions of bushels of wheat in the En glish wheat crop of 1872.
