THE ENQUIRER AND SUN
Two as fine Dallies and Weeklies as there are In
the State, are conducted by two as chivahic and
polished gentlemen as breathe tbs Southern air.
The Enquirer, under the management ol Maj, Cal

acter within the limited period of twelve mouths
than any enterprise ol its character that we wot
of.
BAKQUETT AND BALL.
Doubtless when Cleopatra, with her retinue vis
ited the tents ol the wise man, of antiquity, royal
preperations were made for her reception. Our
minds tre lull of instances iu both ancient and
modern times, where grand and munificent enter
tainments were prepared for the reception or ryal
guests, such whereof poets rhymed in verse, mu
sicians sung in laudation and statesmen spoke with
eloquence; but it we may be pardoned, none, 30
could have surpassed tint banquet rft,
House on Tuesday night. Presided over and
directed by the cha.micg beauties ot that famed
city, all that taste could desire or appetite crave,
was furnished in ptoluse abundance. Though not
ol that class, who engage in ball r ooat pleasures
—yet I was assured that the ball room entertain
ment was a success.
In this connection we desire to state that tbe
hospitality ancj kiudness of both ladies and gen
tlemen in Columbus cannot be surpassed by any
city In the Stale. The beauty and loveliness ol
her young ladies is perfectly bewildering; in none
however, did we find all tbe elements of true wo
manhood blended more charmingly thau in Miss
Benuing, the daughter cf Judge Benuing, a patriot
gantlcmin that the people ol Georgia delight to
love and honor.
THE QUEEN OF SONG.
WV would be nngallant 11 we were to fail to men
tion that beautiful and accomplished young lady,
who enraptured the ears of many, and who
seems to take such great interest in the aggran
diz.mmt std suceti-s of the Georgia Press. We
allude to the daughter of our lriend Carey W.
Styles, ol the Aloany News.
COLUMBUS THE LOWELL OF THE SOUTH.
The citizens i I Columbus determined that ihe
beauties and industries of their fair ei‘y should be
seen, therefore provided elegint tu nouts an Ia
eommi.tee to accompany us to tbe manufactories.
Tbe Eagle & PtceTx. tbar spiend and and mag
n tlcent structure with a'i the modern improve
ments and facilities, runs about thir y thousand
ep nd es and mnn ; aciures sheeting, shirti-ig, oi
nabu'gs. checks, Juans, cassimeres, and is the
rigins ors and sola manufacturers ol tbe well
kn *ii cotton blankets.
The Steam Factory, owned by A Cleitg & Cos.,
n engaged in the maruTetur • ot shewing, shirt
icg, plaids, threads, e'c. Tuts tuiil runs over 1 000
spindles.
COLUMBUS MILLS,
located about three miles above the city, are situ
ated on oue of the most beautiful and romantic
sites of the Chattahoochee river. At a cost cf
12,000, the Company threw a dam across a natural
canal, cut, by natural causes, through solid gran
ite rock, which affords water power sufficient to
run one hundred thousand spindles. The r.ver at
this point is about one mile wide, dotted with
beautilul islands. From these mills down to the
citt, the scenery is grand and magnificent.
We regret that we have not space to refer more
particularly to other factories of quite as much
importance.
It is a uotablc fact that Columbus runs half of
the spindles in the State.
Colhinbus unquestionably possesses a water
power inferior to none iu the Sou‘h, by reason of
which it ia destined to become one ot ihe largest
manu acturiog towns in the United States. Her
citizens have been aroused to a full sense of the
advantages possessed, invested large
sums of money in the development of her natural
resources.
Lovtr’s Leap is one mile above the city, from
which projects a rock tremendous in proportions;
frem its cuter edge to the water, is a dTtance of
125 Icet. The ecenery at this point is beyond the
description ot language, and mast be seen to be
realized.
Daring oar stiy in the city, we met several
members ot the Press of the State, with whom we
had a pleasant time.
The hospitality and kindness of the citizens of
Columbus, will be remembered by the'Georgii
Press, as the years flicker by with their vicissi
tudes aud changes.

Judge Wright cs the Constitutional Con
vention. —Judge A. R. Wright has written an
other let'er to the press on the nutter o! a Cor
stitntionai Convention. It is published in the
Augusta Chronicle sed Sentinel, and is a reif
firm.tion 1 1 the principles he put forth in bis
f rtmer letter.
Tbe Chronicle * Sentinel thus endorses it:
“The admirable letter of Judge Angus'us R,
Wright, which we published y-stei-dav morning
on tb- sabject of a cons’ifu\ional c mven'l on. pre
sents one phase o' the question which is worthy
cateiul consideration. Judge Wright take* the
tr- uu I that a Convention is n*cessarv, In ord--r
that the Bttt‘ be spared any addiGon to her prer
-nt load ot indebtedm-s* —except lor 'he legiti
mate and necessary expenses ot govercm-cl.
“ Tb- re are many who will agree with the views
presented by ’bis gentleman, and wid Uvor a con
‘Udtmioca. inhibition ig-.inst tbe Slate’s rend- rieg
aid to any work of public improvement, confident
bat this is the on y way to prevent a repetition
o! the corruption which threatened Georgia wtih
Bankruptcy when Bullock was Go.-traor. But
■here are others who g, a step irrthc-, ftnd Wish
the adoption ot a Constitution win :h w II p ottci
the counties .and cities from 'he same evils wuic-U
tbrea’i n tbe State. These advocate a e'ause whicu
*ll prevent a couity or a c:t> from issuing bonds
•o a-- mount beyond a certain per cent-gc o! its
taxable property.
•- for in:- ..nee, they would restrict the city of
Augusta from issuing bauds to au amount ex
ceedintf—say ten percent ol the assessed Value of
its triable property. The i xable property now
amouiitt g to t we- ty mi-lions ;! dollars, only two
icilliors oi bonds conid liwlpliy issued Buell
a provision would greatly beueiit Ihe tax payers
and ftrongtheu the credit ol the city.
“The larger the tmount ot bonds i-sued the
gr ater the deprefUtlon in vitlqe. But ji the
woild knew that the bonded debt ol a city or
couuty could not be ineieased beyond ten per
cent, of Its assets—lor all tbe property of a cor
poration constitute- assets for the paymentofits
debts —the bonds Issued would alw ys real zs a
good price, and be eagerly sought for by the capi

The Extraordinary Naval Appropriation
Passi and by the House.— Tha House ot Represen
taiives, alter ,some debate in Committee of the
Whole, yesterday passed the bill appropriating
four million dollars tor immediately strengthen
ing the navy. 11 the navy is to be properly strength
ened much more than this will be required; but
s it covers tbe amount a-ked for by Secretary
Robeson, we msy presume that it will be sufficient
to put what vessels we at piesent possess into a
condition of seaworthiness and arm and man them.
Iu spite o' all tbe protests of the Republican mem
bers this does not look very pacific. The unfor
tunate Mr. Cox, who called the House pusillani
mous aud said that Nw York was at the mercy ol
any powclul foreign fleet, was raked lore and aft
by the administration guns. Generals of tne late
war accused him of hounding people irom the
paths ol peace, and other’Taembers declared New
York impregnable. It w*o a mistake on his part
* -- l >h. *r,'ept in one
sense; forsooth, to say, rbc majority would be a
unit lor the most aggressive war measures it the
a,lministration held op its little finger. They are
not aliaid ol Mr. Cox, however, a-d they decided,
in a series of speeches, that the President was to
be aJinired lor his poncy leadiug to peac-aud sat
isfaction aud Mr. Cox to be bended lor what he
had dared to say or not to say on war. The four
millions ot dcllars may pnt the administration in a
position to ordera judicious change of tunc, and it
ihe trumpet blast kind of music be demanded we
shall have all the republican brass iQ the House

The Automatic Telegraph —The art of teleg
raphy has been wonderlul'y improved of late by a
notable system called the automatic. In the repet
of Fostmaster General (Jreswell, this method was
nighly lauded. He was severely taken to task
for effieial praise and determined to probe the
matter rigorously. It was arranged that the Pres
ident’s ; message should be the test. The World
gives the result tha*:
Borne preliminary messages of greeting and ar
rangem.nts were first seut, then at precisely lour
minutes be ore ten tbe Presidents m-stage was
announced to becoming, and a loud whiz tilled
the office as a wheel began to revolve turning eff
“take” after 'take” of the document. Toe wh z
continued, broken on y by soon iuterint sions to
supply new tape, until tighteen minutes ano
tturlv seconds beyond tne bou-, when r stop -ed
as suddenic as it bad b. gnu, and the President’s
mes.-age ol 13 000 words was iu the office in loan of
twtnty-three bundles ol narrow p.ip-- r , bung tip
on as many hooks. The time occupied in irans
mi-siou was twenty-two m nutes and a half, ana
mis with a single wire. The numoer ot words a
minute sent was 500. The message was then re
transmitted to Washington in aoout tbe same
time that it taac taken to come, and then Post
master James oade “Good nignt” to the Post
master-G-uera), and Pack’s promise to gircle the
eaitu in forty miuaies nad been pat to &hume.
Tue Superiuiemiaut of the Company claim* that
us one wire will do the work of twenty-five ordi
nary wires and telegraphing rendered proportion*
atsly cneaper.
It this mode of telegraphing shouli come into
gr-at, r prominence, it seem* io us th >i o’.uer com

Prof. Agassiz Dead —Prot. Agassiz, the great
: philosopher, died on the 14. h. His last hours
were apparently passed in unconsciousness. At
2, p. m., on Suuday, he attack similar to
the one experienced before a suspension ot respi
ration, which continued half a minute, accompa
nied by other indications ot approaching disrolu
tion. Thtse were succeeded by unnaturally rap
id breathing, that continued to grow taiater with
, departing vigor. The patieiirfay upon his side,
and beyond aa occatiooal convulsive raovemeut ot
his limbs, there were no signs that he suffered
pain, and finally was scarcely perceptible.
The Best Bale of Cotton in the Wofld.—
j The prize for the best bale of cotton at the Vienna
Exposition was awarded to Mr. Greenwood and
Mr. McCall, of New Orleans, on a bale raised in
Mississippi. We are pleased to give the following
details ot its history from the Mississippi Central,
at Water Valley :
In IS7L, Henry Broom, a farmer living three
miles east of Ccfieeville, in Yalobusha county,
Miss., raised and sold a bale ot cotton at L. R.
Williamson s to Bryant & Herron, of Coffeeville,
for 18% cents per poned. This firm attracted bv
its superior quality, marked the bale “ Beany, f ’
and shipped it lo Stewart Brothers & Cos., New
Orleans. These merchants put it on Exhibition
at 'he State Fair of Louisian* and won the first
prize, $254, and diploma, as the best specimeu ot
short ft was there sold to Mr. Greenwood
aud Mr. McCall for 25 cents a pound These en
terprising gentlemen, appreciating the extraordi
nary quality of toeir purchase, hai it flaeiy fitted
up, with .silver plated hoops and duck bagging,
ami ®eut it to ihe Expedition at Vienna, where it
received the first pr.ze.
Commutation of the Sentsscs of Marshal
Bazins. With a soldier’s promptness and a sol
dlei’s generosity also, President Mac Mahon has
discharged the difficult task which devolved upon
him la the matter of the Bazaine sentence. The
death penally has been commuted to twenty
yeas’ seclusion; and although degradation will
take tSect,the disgraced General wiU be spared the
humiliating ceremony. Blaine's life is spared,
but his name is dishonored; and whatever will be
the result of the present political uncertainty
—whether the Republic is definitely estab
lished or the Monarchy restored or the Bonspartes
recalled—be is little likely to make any figure
again in the affairs oi France.
