Reciprocal Benefits of Land and
Railroads.
Since experience has fully demonstrated
that Railroads are destined to become the
principal means of inland travel and trans
portation from point to point, throughout
the United States especially, it may be well
to consider what bearing the constructing
of Railroads may have upon the value of
lands (farms in particularly,) through which
they may pass ; and what effect the exten
sion of these facilities for transportation
must have upon the piice of produce at
home.
Farmers are often called upon to grant
the right of way for these roads, and many
hesitae to do$o, fearing that they will be
loosers rather than gainers thereby. We
would commend the following article from
the Newark, N. J., Mercury, to their special
attention:
“Effects of Railroads upon the price of
Lands and Farming Produce.—It has been
estimated, by those whose observation has
qualified them to judge correctly, that the
increase in the value of a strip of land three
miles wide, through which a Railroad is
constructed* is sufficient to build and stock
it. The experience of the whole country
has pioved that this estimate is not extrav
agant. Every mile of a strip of land three
miles wide, one and a half miles on each
side of the road, will contain 1,920 acres.—
the average increase in the price of such a
strip of land, has been not far from §15 an
acre, in new and thinly settled districts of
St. Mary’s Money

excuse the deficiences of its editorial col

Superior Court.*
After a laborious week’s work, the Court
adjourned on Saturday evening last. Of
course much of the business was not acted
upon. But the anxiety cf the Jurors both
Grand and Petit, to return to their homes,
and the unanimity of counsel we suppose,
caused Ilis Honor Judge Starnes to short
en the term.
The presentments of the Grand Jury
which will be found in our paper, are such
as do credit to that body—they take the
proper ground w 7 e think on the subject of
the Traffic in Liquors—and this is only an
other evidence that the people are examin
ing this subject for themselves, and will de
cide lightly. ,
ed for the good of their community—if the
ministration of it was for the moral well
being of society—if it promoted good order,
temperance, public decency, and a healthy
tone of moral feeling— they are accountable
to the good citizens of Savannah, for the
withdrawal of one seventh of these happy
and beneficial influences. I do not mean
an attack upon the gentlemen of the “Gro
cer’s Association,” but I confess they pre
sent to my mind one of the most singular
combinations of men, that I have ever
known to exist openly, in any civilized com- 1 desire the use of your columns, for a few
selling—and protecting the sober portion
of the community as much as possible from
the loathsome and pestifferous examples of
drunkennesss. This feeling is begetting an
active inquiry into the nature of^kis Traffic,
and the laws Which license it--and when
they shall be thoroughly investigated, I
have no doubt they will be found to be. not
only highly injurious to the best interests of
society—but immoral and sinful, and a pal
pable violation of the spirit .and principles
of the Bible. To this end, Mr. Editor

therefore, conferred no other benefits upon
farmers than this great addition to their
wealth, they will see that they are more
deeply interested in their construction than
any other class of the community. They
receive a direct, positive, tangible advantage
in the immediate rise in the value of their
property.
“But ttaere are other advantages to the
farming interest beside the rise in the value
of their farms, The products of a farm sit
uated at any considerable distance from a
market, where ordinary roads have to be
depended upon, are of little value to the
producer, but Railroads at once give them
a ready access to market, at good prices and
quick sales. The experience of farmers

means they have adopted to preserve their
“inalienable right,” and perpetuate a btisi
j ness, which, however “honorable,” experi-
| ence has taught us, tends to increase drunk
enness, and degrade humanity. While their
object is open to criticism—the moral forti
tude they exhibit, is worthy of a better
cause.
The recent Temperance Convention held at
Atlanta, has placed the subject of the Lquor
Traffic and the License Laws fully before
the State. Their object is distinctly and
boldly avowed—and every mau who takes
an interest in it, will have the opportunity
of declaring himself on one side or the oth
er. The opponents of the Retail system de
sire simply to obtain the right to say wheth
er Liquor shall be sold in counties, or dis
tricts of the same, where a majority of the
citizens shall declare their objection to it by
ballot. And it does appear to me that the
most inveterate dram-drinker, or dram-sel
ler in the State, if he has a particle of fair
ness in him, cannot object to the principle.

every man the privilege to speak in the
matter; at present the dram-seller is the
only man who has a right to. say anything
about it. And it would appear, by their
acts that the dram-drinkers and dram-sellers
wish to continue to have the right exclu
sively to themselves. Their arguments so
far as I have heard them, would seem to
show that the abolishing of the Retail sys
tem would be to place a restraint upon their
freedom—or deny their right to buy or sell
spirits as they pleased. A sufficient an
swer to all that, is, the principle we contend
for—the right of a majority. If a majority
of the people in a district prefer to have
liquor shops among them—let them have
them ; the temperance men, if there be any
in the district, will have to submit. On the
other hand, if a majority in a district decide
against grog-shops, the dram-drinkers and
dram-sellers must submit. This is taking
away no right, but restoring equity. The
Temperance community do not wish to-take

Fatal Encounter*with a Bear.
A correspondent at Trinidad, California,
Jan. 23d, gives the following account of an
encounter with a bear, at Dourkee’s Ferry:
“While the writer was awaiting the ope
ning of the trial at the torraer place, a young
man named Frank , a native of Maine,
who was employed by Mr. R. Walker of
Durkee’s Ferry, in hunting, was attacked
by a grizzly bear, about three miles from
the house, on the Union trail. He attemp
ted to climb a tree, but unfortunately a
dead branch, which he had caught to assist
him in climbing, gave way, and he fell to the
ground, and was instantly seized by the
bear. An Iudian, who accompanied him,
got hold of the unfortunate man’s rifle, and
discharged it at the bear’s head; then club-
bling it, he beat the animal with it until
he had broken it to pieces. After the rifle
was broken, the Indian gave information at
the berry, but as it was late, the persons re
fused to go out that night. On the follow
ing morning they brought the .poor fellow
home, and procured the assistance of Dr.
Whetmore, of Orleans Bar, who dressed his
numerous wounds; but it was of no avail.
upon our Hag that has yet been committed .Death released him, from his sufferings on
by the loyal subjects of Queeu Isabella in
Cuba.
According to Captain Sterling’s account,
which is authenticated by his consignees, he
was peacefully pursuing his course home
wards from Jamaica, when, on the 15th iust.,
oft the island of Cuba, and about twenty
miles east ot Cape Antonio, he was boarded
by 12 armed men, under the command of
a negro second lieutenant, from a Spanish
cruiser ot twelve guns, who took possession
ot the vessel in spite ot his remonstrances,
and carried her inside the reef there. They
then demanded the schooner’s papers, which
the captain Lad to take o.u board the cru
iser for examination. The Spanish com
mander was even going so far as to break
open the letters of the consignees, but de
sisted when Captain S. insisted upon his re
turning them intact. They also broke open
the hatches, and took out about a third of
the schooner’s cargo; but finding no ammu
nition or guns on board, put it "back again.
This was done after the papers had been ex
amined and found correct. After detaining
her twenty-four hours, anchored close un
der their guns, the schooner was allowed to
proceed, and get out of the reef the best
way she could. This, however, was not al
lowed, until Capt. S. had promised to satis
fy a demand of thirty dollars for safely pi
loting him inside the reef. The only excuse
given for this wanton injustice, was the sus
picion of her being bound to. Cuba with
arms for the revolutionists.
The boarding officer gratuitously infonn r
ed Capt. Sterling that it was utterly impos
sible, owing to tlie strict guard kept, for any
one to attempt to.surreptitiously laud upon
the Cuban coast, and that any one caught
in the attempt would immediately “have a
rope around his neck,” a hint of what prob
ably might have been the fate of Capt. S. if
any article they could have construed into
“arms” or “ammunition” had been found on
board.
In justice to our name and character as a :
nation, it is necessary that such outrages
should be immediately checked If imme
diate notice is not taken of this at Washing
ton, very serious trouble will possibly ensue,
as the Spanish authorities have a fleet of
twelve nien-of-war continually cruising a-
round Cuba, to intercept real or pretended
supplies for the malcontents on the island,
the commanders of which will gladly seize
the third day. He was horribly torn; one
wrist was nearly bitten off. It seems he had
seized the bear by the tongue, and endeav
ored to choke him. His bowels also pro
truded from a wouod inflicted by the ani
mals claws.”
