FRIDAY MOBNING.AUG. Is, 1873,
Important Railroad Morcnii'iits.
The New York Tribune saya that
a very Important railroad cotubina
tion is to be consummate*! in a few
da ye, resulting in a direct line, wider
a single management, between Hal;-
fak\ Doston, New York, and all the
principal American cities of the
Month ami West. The Pennsylvania
Central ia chief of the movement, and
tall the ml or veiling roads Ik tween
lloston and Halifax, it is alleged,
are to be :iWoi hed by that corpora
tion. A Urge party of railroad offi
cials interested in the combination
left Boston on Monday on a tour of
inspection of the line, and their jour
ney will not end this side of Halifax
©r Prince Edward’s Island. The
party included the Directors of the
Eastern Railroad, some of the Direc
tors of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, :id others. Along the
route they*will ho joined by Direc
tor* of the Maine Central Railroad.
They will also go to St. John, N. 11.,
over the European and North Amer
ican Railway, the ofiicers of which
wiH accompany them, and thence
they .will extend their trip the fol
lowing day to Halifax, via the Euro
pean ami North American railway
and the Nova Scotia Railway. The
object of the tour is partly one of
olmervation, ami to this will be ad
ded the consummation of the pro
posed consolidation of the Eastern
Maine Central and European and
North American roads by the sign
ing of the contracts between them.
The presence of the Pennsylvania
Central people is regarded as signifi
cant. Through trains botween Hali
fax, Boston mid New York will run
at an early day.
Bar I'KAtucKH.—At the execution
of Hollotian and Nicholson, recently,
in Baltimore, for the brutal murder
of Mrs. Lmnpley, the murderers wore
permitted to deliver a religious liar—
angue to the crowd assembled, and
their funerals wore afterwards largely
attended.
While wo admit that with God nil
tilings are possible, we gravely doubt
the salvation of he who it cold blood
takes the life of bis fellow, and seri
ously deprecate the custom of some
ministers, v, ho try to “ preach a man
to Heaven.”
Wo doubt, the salutary effects of
public hangings, and believe that
** gallows sermons,” making heroes
of murderers by attending their fune
mis, and tho lauding 19 the skies by
preachers on funeral occasions of men
who, while living, were anything else
lint pious—we believe that these ave
promoting the growth of infidelity,
and working great harm to the cause
of Christianity, morality and law nud
order.
Another Lost “ llo\\”—In our is
sue cf week before last wo made no
tice of tho fhet that a Mr. Deaaon de
sired to ascertain tho whereabouts of
I.is son, a “boy” of niuetecn. We
thought a chap of that age ought to
be able to lake care of himself—but
now we find a notice in the Atlanta
Constitution, Horn Mrs. Mary Ann
Jackson, desiring information of her |
*>n, John Ilcnry, who left her lust
Mareli, and is represented as “ a boy
sixteen years old,” and about eight
feet in height. ]
This ** boy ” ought certainly to bo
found without much trouble.
Trkeiuu: Disaster. —Tlio steamer
Wawanset took fit# ami was oon
aumed, ou the I'otomao river, on the
Bth inst. She was making a landing
at the lime, and grounded in less
than five feet of water, when only
280 yards from the shore. The fire
originated in the hold. She had on
hoard over 100 passengers, of whom
V 2 are reported lost. Many jumped
into deep water and were drowned,
who would have been saved had they
jumped off tiro how of the boat. A
perfect panio prevailed.

them to exercise prudence, lest they
also exterminate themselves and their

Ed. Visitor :■ —Asa good deaj of
space in the journals at ibis season
of the year is devoted looroprcpnrt*,
I will tell von “wliat 1 know about”
crops in Florida
While on a visit to Georgia, a few
days ago, I heard a great many ru
mors in regal'd to the prevalence of
the cotton c.uerptHnr in list’s State —
heard once that Hcarcelv a leaf %C
--tnflitied in Jackson county to tell the
tale, where the “pestiferous varmints”
had been at work—but on my return
was pleased to find it not <piite to
severe as represented. On the con
trary, but few, thus far, have made
their appearance, and they have done
but little injury to the cotton. On
two or three plantations near Green
wood they have shown the strength
of their Appetites, but, as a general
thing, they are comparatively still.
A few farmers express their opin
ion that tire caterpillar will us
out in the next ten days. Iris the
prevailing opinion that two-thirds of
a crop will be realised, notwithstand
ing all their efforts to the contrary.
'i he corn ciop has never been more
promising since the war than at this
time, and as most of it Las already
matured, the planters arc congratula
ting themselves that a sufficiency of
hog and Uoininy will bo theirs, even
should they he deprived of those tine
suits of clothes that were in anticipa
tion. Nearly every fanner in this
section will make at least as much
corn as he will consume.
If no disaster befalls the cane and
ground-pea crop, a sufficient quantity
will Vie raised to furnish all the little
ones in Georgia with as much goober
candy as they can devour all the win
ter. And, by the way, it is not alto
gether unpleasant to the larger ones,
when mixed with our tine Florida
syrup.
I have given you a correct state
ment of tho crops around Greenwood,
and, so far ns I can learn, throughout
the greater part of the comity.
A crowd will leave this place for
St. Andrew’s Buy to-morroiv, and as
your correspondent makes one of the
number, I will write you “ what I
know about” the bay, as soon as I
ret urn.
Tho Visitor finds its way hero
once a week, and always receives a
hearty welcome. May an abundant
success crown your efforts.
Yours, truly,
U. Gene.

The Knoxville (Tenn) Chronicle
vouches for the truth of the following
snake story:
Several weeks ago, while Sylvester
Bowman, of Cluirborno county, was
cutting the sprouts off bis oats, be
saw wml lie took to be a largo black
snake, and struck at it with his
scythe, when, to bis astonishment,
the snake struck at hiiu with his tail,
which it lifted several feet from the
earth. Bowman, thereupon, again
struck at the snake, but the vicious
reptile, not nt all intimidated, re
turned the blow, and pressed Bow
man so closely that it was with diffi
culty ho got invay. Returning to
the attack, Bowman, by means of
large rocks, succeeded in crippling
the snake and fastening it to the
earth. With the assistance of Jor
dan F. Longtime it was now exam
ined, and to their astonishment was
found to be over six feet long, and to
have a bom at the end of its tail a
little over an inch and a quarter long,
shaped like a rooster’s spur. But
what was still more astonishing, it
bad Iwo eyes in its tail, which, ex
cepting the horn, was shaped exactly
like the bead, but was not so large.
Indeed, to see tho tail, one would
have thought that it was the head, and
that the bora was it* tongue. The
horn was very sharp. The snake
scorned very tierce at its tail-end,
and endeavored to str ko everything
that came near its tail. Various ex
periments were made to ascertain
w hether it could see with the cms in
bis tail, aud it was demonstrated be
yond a doubt that it could. These
eves had lids, \\ hic.li opened and stint,
and gleamed with anger. Indeed,
the tail-bend seemed far more fioree
than tin? other bead. Although the
snake tapered somewhat from its
main huso, still, the tail-head was as
thick as a large thumb, and just as
blunt.
Bowman carried the snake home
while disabled, lmt it continued to
strike at every intruder with its horn,
and, the family becoming alarmed,
Mr. Bowman shot it dead.
