C|f Hamilton Visitor BY D w - P BOLDLY. 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. Pams Green. —This fcriiele is dan gerous if careleasly handled hv those nnacquainted with its properties, and mm' many farmers in the country are now using it as an exterminator of the caterpillar, it would be well lor them to exercise prudence, lest they also exterminate themselves and their atock. Harris tells some huge talcs in his col in an of the Savannah Sews. This is hi* last; „ Col. 8. C. Ik Druid, of Brunswick, has rawed seventy-two acre* of com on one acre of ground. From Ft.oriba.—We publish, to day, a letter ft om Florida. We wel. eome “U. Gene” to our columns, and lmpe t 1 war from him oft n. Lutter from Florida. Greenwood, Fla., Aug. 0, ISM. 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. lleuiiirkublc Muuke. 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. There is an eccentric railroad traveler who refuses to buy a rail road ticket, hut always pays the eon <hictor, because lie has sworn the company shall never see any ol his money! — I QWn —— If your friend a>ks you for a chew of tobacco, say to lom that the revenue law s forbid you ty> sell or dispose of tobacco in any form with out paying a license. v A letter addressed to George Swindle, Camilla, Ga., is among the list of advertised letters at the post office in Tbonta-sville, Ga. “VV hat's in a name 2 ” Matters ill Georgia.
