fre?hts on the Vestern and Atlantic road foot
dpt 112.83, and on the Macon and Western
<682, when before that time they had been
Jdjiog without material difference. On tho
opday of l ast January the freights from Nash-
yjlon M3 sacks of corn amounted to $63.23.
(hfce 29th day of the same month the freights
on!0«>cksof corn were $105.72. This makes
a (Terence; and it is a difference which will
ba 7—not by the Macon corn merchant, but
by’je planters, who are needlessly and wick-
( dlcompelled to pay theso enormous rates on
mean article of primo necessity as corn. And
itd be felt, too, by the colored people—the
oannd brother—who has his meal to buy, and
mm pay a heavy rise on previous rates in
conqnence of this advance.
It. all this goes to show tho folly of depend

It is ascertained that one of the gang who
tits in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington as a member from South Carolina, sold
st year, a cadet-ship at West Point for $2,000,
agreeing to givo the two brokers who negotiated
tho affair §800. Trua to his instincts, however,
and when was one ever known to ba false to
thorn ? he cheated the brokers and kept the whole
amount. It is hardly neoessary to add that this
good man was one of the loudest howlers for
'conditions" in the case of Virginia, and that
he is zealously seconding Bollock’s efforts to
•till farther rob and nun the people of this State.

' odon, of Elmira, New York, a young lady
*“°i after many years' confinement in a sick
room,
“»ti« doctor.
was cured by the manipulation of a mag
i’lie Nashville Banner and Georgia
Politics.
The Nashville Banner assumes to be the lead
ing organ of the Tennessee Conservatives, and
plumes itself, very complacently, upon having
done yeoman’s’service in the last State canvass
in carrying the election against Stokes and the
Radicals. It also assumes, we believe, great
credit for having—to the great delight of these
same Radicals be it known, however—contribut
ed most potently to the defeat of Andrew J ohnson
for the Senate. That’s as may be. It certainly
exhausted the vocabulary of rude personality
and invective in its assaults upon that gentle
man. We, in common with thousands of oth
ers, both in and out of Tennessee, were driven
very near the point of huge and hearty disgust
by lhe course of the Banner on that occasion.
Still wo may say that the Banner is a sharp,
clever paper, condncted with considerable abil
ity, and professing to be as heartily opposed to
Radicalism everywhere, as any journal in the
Union. So much by way of preface.
It seems, however, that the Banner’s Atlanta'
correspondent, and the editor of that paper
himself, have made an exception of opposition
in the case of the Georgia Radicals. The for
mer has recently written a most fulsome, and.
to the honest men of Georgia, offensive enlo-
gium upon the very worst man in that party
here or elsewhere—Foster Blodgett. He has
endeavored to produce the impression that
Blodgett is able, capable and honest, and that
the Democrats of Georgia, in their warfare
upon him, have been guilty of venomous parti,
sanship, and are wholly in tho wrong. He may
not have used these exact words, but such was'
his evident meaning, and so it was understood
by friend and foe. The Radical organ at At
lanta hastened to copy it, of course, and so
Foster Blodgett, reeking as be is with political
and moral corruption, was paraded before the
public as purified and cleansed by the endorse
ment of the “leading Democratic paper of Ten
nessee" !
But the Banner was not contact with this
yuan endorsement of the Georgia Radicals in
the person of one of their most representative
men. Next, wo have an elaborate editorial upon
the subject of Georgia politics, in which the in
famous schemes of Bullock and bis fellow con
spirators are endorsed by implication. That is,
by condemning tho course and policy of those
who seek to frustrate those schemes. They are
denounced as “impracticables,” “factionists,”
who are contending for dead issues and seeking
to defeat universal suffrage, at the expense of
keeping the State in s turmoil, and themselves
before the people. The writer of the editorial
in question evidently did not understand the
situation at Atlanta, or he was deliberately and
for a purpose misrepresenting the facts. Wo
prefer to believe tbe first, though others may
not be so charitable.
When tbe editor of the Banner was in Macon
with the “Green Line” excursionists, the writer
of this article called his attention both to his
correspondent’s statements and the perversion
of facts in the editorial, and explained wherein
both had erred. We had a right to think that
our word would l>e taken, too, and that hence
forth his reference to Georgia politics wonld not
be so wide of the facts as they stood, and as
they stand to-day. Wo welcomed in him a co
adjutor in the great-work of destroying radical
ism, and as comrade to comrade frankly told
him wh it injustice ho was doing those with
whom h« professed to bo working, and how he
was fun-: hing ammunition to onr and his ene
mies. \Vhad a right to expect, after such
warning, either that ho would ignore Georgia
politics, or else represent them as they are.
The sequel does not justify our expectation,
however. Again does the Banner, leaving Ten
nessee politics to take caro of themselves, thrust
itself into the very thick of our battle. Again
does it range itself with tho very worst enemies
Georgia has ever bad, and give tbo weight of
whatever influence it possesses to misrepresent
and obscure tbo real issue. It makes McCay’s
—we mean Bullock’s—message, tho text of re
newed flings at Bullock’s opponents, and comes
to bis rescue with plaudits of tbe temper and
judgment of that document. It again assails
as “ impracticable” all who seek to stay tho tide
of robbery, degradation and ruin that threat
ens us. It dares to ask tho honest men of
Georgia to look upon Bollock as a Senter or
Walker, and rally to his support. It dares to
put nine-tenths of the respectable citizens of
this State in the attitnde of heartless faction
ists, fighting for no principle but opposition to
universal suffrage, and willing to perpetuate
strife for the most despicable and barren pur
poses. It arraigns, at the bar of public opin
ion, all the wealth, intelligence and virtue of
this Commonwealth as marplots, mischief-
breeders and conspirators. Oat upon such ef
frontery !
We tell the Banner that it has dona a wicked
and most inexcusable deed in coming to Geor
gia in any such attitnde, or for any such pur
pose. It has angered and disgusted all that
element whose good opinion is worth having.
They will remember it, too, and if tho occasion
ever should serve, may make tbat recollection
very unpleasant in its consequences. They
have just put to the bowstring a native assassin,
whq, under the guise of a friend, from their
midst dealt his treacherous stabs. Let the
Banner have a care that they do not invoke, at
the hands of their brethren in Tennessee, a like
fate for those who there essay the same wicked
role.
If the Banner desires to know and is willing
its readers should know the real issue in Geor
gia, we commend to its careful consideration
the following summing up from the Savannah
Republican which has caught our attention since
commencing this article; and Jet us have no
more misrepresentation and slanders of those in
Georgia who are quite as patriotic, intelligent,
and virtuous as the editor of the Banner himself.
Says the Republican, and we ask the Banner to
copy its
What is tho issue in Georgia to-day ? It is not
whether the State will remain faithful to her
pledges as a member of the Union', for all are
content with the status if it could only be settled
and not liablo to continual change. It is not
whether the negro shall vote at elections, for
that right is secured to him by the local consti
tution, and nobody wishes to disturb him in its
peaceful enjoyment It is not whether colored
men shall bold office, for tbat question has been
settled by our Supreme Court, and they are ac
tually in office, and many of them seated among
the law-givers of tho State. Nor is it whether
lawlessness and crime shall bo pnt down, for
evory good citizen—Democrat as well as Repub-
are iu'ero adventurers, hitherto unknown, who,
in the confusion conseqnent upon a long war
and the reign of despotism, have collected like
so many vultures aronnd the public coffers, and
who, if driven off, would probably leave the
State forever.
Such is the character of the men who aspire
to rule the greatEtate of Georgia and put eve
rything under their feet They have neither
numbers, character, capacity nor fortune.
They never would have risen into notice except
as the senm that floats on the surface after a
troubling of tho political waters. Their only
ambition is to elevato ignorance over knowledge,
vice over virtue, all that is bad in man’s nature
over all that is good, and to plunder the State
of its revenues, impoverish our people and
bankrupt their government.

A Great Work.
It is presumed there are few who are unac
quainted with the great work initiated by those
great men, tho late Bishops of Louisiana and
Georgia, to-wit—the establishment of a grand
institution of learning, in all its branches, for
the whole Sonth • but it is to be feared there
are quite as few who appreciate the importance
of tbe undertaking both to themselves and to
posterity. The for-seeiDg mind of the lament
ed Polk conceived the scheme. Ho saw the ne
cessity of educating our young men at home—
of giving them an education equal, if not su
perior, to any which coaid bo had North or
elsewhere, and he knew by experience tbat no
single diocese could accomplish the end in view.
Hence the coalition of ten Southern dioceses
for this purpose. This grand scheme, although
interrupted by the war, is now being carried
out in all its integrity—the services of able pro
fessors have been secured, and suitable build
ings erected on a site, unsurpassed in any part
of the world for bealthfnlness and magnificence.
Thero is not, perhaps, in the length and breadth
of the land, another snch location as Sewanee,
for a home of learning and for a training school
for both mind and body. Nothing is wanting to
render Sewanee the first institution of learning
in this country save means to erect more ex
tensive buildings and greater publicity.
The public are not aware of the advantages
now placed within their reach—nor are church
men themselves fnlly sensible of the prodigious
influence which this university is destined to
exert upon the church at large from thi§ time
forward. It cannot fail to prove the most effec
tive missionary engine of the church—affording
the highest mental culture, refined and sancti
fied by the definite teachings of Divine revela
tion, and sending back into the world year by
year its hundreds of young men, whose princi
ples and views have been moulded after a heav
enly pattern peculiar to the church. Experience
has taught the sad but salutary lesson, that the
mere cultivation of the intellect, divorced from
all religions instruction, is full of peril to the
soul, as well as to society at large—leaving one
to become the sport of every passing wind of
doctrine; and being destitute of the controlling
grace of God, or perhaps not believing in it—
exposing such a one to a total disregard of all
law whether human or Divine. “The nurture
and admonition of the Lord” is indispensable
to a perfect education and this the University
of the Sonth is pledged to give to all her young
men—thus rendering them not only intellectu
ally but religiously cultivated—well grounded
in such knowledge as they need, and a blessing
to the community in which their lot is cast.
Let tbe heads of families throughout these ten
associated Dioceses bethink themselves of these
things when looking around for a college for
their sons or wards. No merely Diocesan or
State institution can possibly offer to such per
sons the superior advantages which that in Se
wanee alone combines and bestows.
Moreover, it is no unimportant consideration
in tbe present day, when numbers are suffering
under straitened circumstances, that the gross
expenditure of each student, exclusive of per
sonal expenses, does not exceed three hundred
dollars per annum. It i3 a safe thing to predict
the speedy and certain success of this noble en
terprise—sustained a3 it is by the ten Southern
Dioceses, and carried on by the same faith in
God and good will to man which characterized
the saintly man who laid its foundations.

An Idea Tor Our Uailroad Managers.
The Green Line correspondent of the Cincin
nati Gazette, writing from Savannah, gives the
following description of the elegant passenger
coaches on the Georgia Central Railroad from
Macon to Savannah. We hope that tbe extract
will bo read by onr railroad managers, who are
ever on the alert for the new and beautiful in
railroad improvements:
The train left Macon just as the sun was ris
ing from a bed of gold, and was soon rapidly
bearing ns to our destination, on one of the
best roads in the South. This road, 100 miles
in length, is alrnast dne east and west. The day
passenger coach which run3 regularly upon the
road is the most complete I have ever seen.
Besides being handsomely constructed, each car
is furnished with a large dial that answers for
the double purpose of a time-keeper and to an
nounce each place tbat you are approaching.
Instead of having the brakeman yell out at each
little station the name of tbe place, or rather
scream out something you do not understand,
this clock keeps the passenger constantly ad
monished.
Each car, too, at cither end, is famished with
marble wash-stand, water and towel. Each
seat has a clean, tasteful rug on which the pas
senger places his feet, and, besides, has a spit
toon, in which tho users of the weed are ad
monished to squirt the redundant tobaaco juice,
which a Georgian can do with remarkable pre
cision. Besides, the car has a colored waitress,
who goes abont the establishment dusting the
furniture, wiping off the seats, aiding women
in the caro of their children, and performing a
score of things that converts the railroad car
into a well ordered home, and relieves travel of
half of its discomfort.
At Millen they famish dinner, not late in
the afternoon, after the demands of one’s ap
petite have keen dishonored three or four hours,
put at the decent hoar of one o’clock, and then
in snch profusion and of such quality that if
there is in railroad travel snch a thing as a
“square meal," you know yon have had it at
Millen.—NashtiUe Banner.

lioan—is Interested in preserving the peace,
and sincerely desirous to see the law enforced.
Besides, Georgia is to-day as free from crime
and lawlessness ss any State in the Union. *
What, then, is the trouble in Georgia, that
has delayed the organization of the Legislature,
called forth military commissions to pass on
the eligibility of its members, and finally
brought its deliberations to an abrupt termina
tion, followed by a general flight of the Gov
ernor and his satelitss, great and small, to the
capital? To those who have watched the strug
gle, the answer is ready and can be given in a
few words. It is simply whether the people of
Georgia shall control and direct their own local
government, or a few hundred abandoned white
men, generally alien to her interests and having
nothing at stake, with perhaps a mojerity of
the blaok population—though we are by up
means sure of that—shall take possession of the
State for the sole purpose of plundering its rev
enues. We unhesitatingly pronounce this to ba
their (.ole object They are men without char
acter, without capacity, or any other element
of fitness for office, who oan distinguish them-
selves in nothing but in crime, and who have
no tie to bind them to: tbe State, and make
them sharers of its misfortunes. We believe
we would be safe in saying tlmt the entire Rad
ical party in the Legislature does not pay three
hundred dollars taxes into the Treasury.
The Philadelphia Age relates that when Pres-’
ident Andrew Jackson was told that purser Ran
dolph, who was dismissed from the navy for de

Honobs East.—The Cincinnati Times, speak
ing of Beveb, the negro Senator from Missis
sippi, says “he is easy in manner, very affable,
and takes the honors conferred upon him as
humbly and thankfully as Gen. Grant did the
Presidency." “Yet it remains to be seen, how
ever,” xemarks the Timas, “whether he wonld
receive a purse of $100,000 with the same
thankful feeling that the ‘Great Soldier’ did.”.

The Fruit Crop, Weather, Roads, etc.—Again
we had cloudless skies yesterday, but the weather
was much colder than it had been for several weeks,
and the wind was rather too high for comfort.
It cannot yet be definitely ascertained whether
the present cold Bpell has destroyed the peach crop
or not. Many of tho trees had began to bloom, but
we think tho blossoms in many caBes protected the
germs of fruit from the nipping frost of yesterday
morning. Young fruit is in the greatest danger of
beiDg destroyed immediately after tho blossoms
have fallen and the tender twigs are exposed to tho
frost, and as many of tho fruit trees are still in
bloom, wo have strong hopes that no serious dam
age has yet been done to peaches, plums or any
other kind of fruit raised in this section.
The city was quite lively yesterday, though the
surrounding country was thinly represented on ac
count of the horrid condition in which the country
roads now are. We are glad to know this matter is
at last receiving tho attention of our business men
and a project is on foot which, if successful, will at
least putonoof theseroads in good order. There is no
better or quicker way to remedy this evil, we think,
than by private subscription. It is clear that those
whose duty it is to look after the roads, will not or
cannot discharge that duty. Probably the latter, on
account of the indisposition on the part of tho peo
ple to extend that assistance and discharge thoeo
obligations in the premises which the law requires.
Hence we say tho bad condition of the dirt roads lead
ing to the city can be remedied sooner and better
by private subscription than in any other way. Raise
the money and then secure the services of some re
liable. energetic aDd experienced man to expend it
to the best advantage, and see that he gets a good
dollar’s worth of labor for every dollar paid out.
In this way the work may easily be accomplished in
a short while, and in a satisfactory and substantial
manner. ___ *
Railroad Meeting at Atlanta—The Blockade.
Wo understand that there was a meeting of Bait
road and Green Line officials at Atlanta Tuesday—
the direct purpose being to take into consideration
tbo preBont extraordinary derangement in transpor
tation of freight. At presont we have no particu
lars of tho result, further than that the Green Line
came very near being demolished, and that its
further lease of life depends solely upon its doing
hotter in future than in the past. We hopo much
good will come of the meeting.
We understand freight is piled mountain h'glr at
Chactanooga, and that there are one hundred and
fifty car loads of through and East Tennessseo
freights at Ealton.
It is suggested that Sir. Wadley come to our re
lief by establishing a fast line to Vicksburg, St.
Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati, boats can there de
liver good to each a line in from four to six days,
when they could reach us in four more. Here is
his opportunity to produce an entire and quick revo
lution in this whole business, and he is not the man
to let it pass. _
The “Green Line”—What It Is and Who Con
trols It.—Many of the readers of this paper,
living off from railroads and commercial centres
have, doubtless, often aBked tbsmselves, “What is
tho Green Line, about which the Georgia papers
have had so much to say of late ?” The Augusta
Constitutionalist thus clearly answers:
It is a co-operative freight lino from Cincinnati
to Savannah, composed ot tho following railroads.
Louisville and Nashville, Nashville and Northwes
tern, Nashville and Chattanooga, Western and At
lantic, which is intersected by the Rome and Dalton,
at Kingston, and will be completed in a few months,
the Georgia. South Charlotte,Columbia and Augusta,
Macon and Western, Macon and Brunswick, Atlan
tic and Gulf, Atlanta and West, Point, and Montgom
ery and West Point Railroads.
Theso roads have signed the compact which takes
freight from Cincinnati to Savannah direct without
change of cars. The distances are: Cincinnati to
Louisville, by the Short Line, 107 miles; Louisville
to Nashville,’185 miles; Nashville to Chattanooga,
151 miles: Chattanooga to Atlanta. 128 miles; At
lanta to Macon, 103 miles: Macon to Savannah,
202 miles; total, 886 miles from Cincinnati to Sa
vannah.
Before the Green line was established, four years
ago. Southern and Western merchants were obliged
to pay a much heavier freightage, besides having to
wait four times aa long for returns. A through bill
of lading could not bo obtained. Each road collected
its local freight, and it required from one to two
weeks’ time to deliver them. By the Green Line (a
term of designation merely, the care being painted
green) freight roach the same points in from four
to six days, shippers receive a through bill of lading,
and tho rates aro less by ten per cent, than by the
old route.
Burglary.—Tho grocery and provision store of
Messrs. Dunn & Small, on Poplar street, was en
tered on Monday night last by one or more burglars
and robbed of a box of chewing tobacco and abont
SOO pounds of bacon. The store was entered by
breaking tbe cast iron grating over tbe front cellar
ventillator, and having effected an entranco to tho
collar, tho burglar or burglars had only to ascend a
flight of etairs to enter tho storo room. It must
have required a heavy blow with an ax or sledge
hammer to have broken the grating, as it is nearly
an inch in thickness, and it is a little strange it was
not heard by some one in tho vicinity. After ex
amining the operations of the rascals yesterday
morning, we are almost satisfied that the burglary
was either perpetrated by some ore familiar with
tho premises, or under tho advice ami instructions
of such a party.
Compliment art.—A corresponde tof the Cincin
nati Chronicle, after giving MayorEzzanl. of Atlan
ta, particular fits for the cli8T->i-‘— ol t.u reception
address to tho Green Lino 1 thus al
ludes to tbat of Hon. Thomas ... jul. Jr.:
At Macon the first speech of the evening was
made by Hon. Thomas Hardeman, of that city. Mr.
Hardeman is rather a flowery speaker. He has good
command of language, and from the constant ap
plause with which he was greeted, I should judgo
him to he a great favorite among the Georgians of
that vicinity. His speech was entirely different in
sentiment from that of Mayor Ezzard. He said that
he bad forgotten the past, and intended to forget it
forever. He had only the present and the futnre
to live for, and should devote his best energies to
putting “his grand old State" back into line, where
“she would march forevermore to the music of the
Union:” all of which was pretty good for an ex-Con-
federate Congressmvn, and, I am glad to say, was
heartily applauded by the Haoonites who were pres
ent. The responses bad nothing in them of special
interest which you have not already heard about.
More Cotton Stealing.—On Tuesday night last,
the gin-house of Mr. L B. Bason, in the Rutland
District of this county, was visited by one or more
thieves who first stole the wagon and then two
bales of cotton, and since which time nothing has
been heard of the thieves or stolen property. Mr.
Bason was in the city yesterday, endeavoring to
trace tho rascals, and to put the warehousemen and
policemen on the lookout for them. Tbat they
will be caught sooner or later, may be pnt down as
a certainty. They hare got altogether too much
bulk to conceal to do it successfully for any great
length of time. ,
A 'Whale.—The sensation at the passenger de
pot yesterday morning was what purported to be a
whale, about fifteen feet in length, which was
brought up on the Central railroad the evening be
fore. It is said to have been captured about three
months ago, near Charleston, by three negro men
who were out fishing. It waa first discovered strug
gling on the beach, when one of the negroes shot
it in the head and the others then let in on it with
an ax or hatchet. It was skinned, stuffed and sent
to tho interior as a curiosity. We did not learn
who owns it, or whither it is being taken. Whale,
grampus, or what not, it produced quite a sensation
among our land-lubbers, particularly the juvsiiile
The Macon -and Choss- Keys Road—Tho follow
icg communication explains itself. The subject is
certainly worthy of the attention of our city author
ities and every bUBinesa msn in Macon. We hope
some one of the suggestions thrown out by our cor
respondent will be adopted and the work be imme
diately entered upon:
DbarSib: Several weeks ago. I noticed an arti
cle in your daily paper calling attention to tbe very
bad condition of tbe road from Macon to Cross
Keys. Tho article referred to was so pointed, and
the subject one of such general interest tbat I had
hoped to see eomo movement looking to theimprove
ment of the great thoroughfare. But as yet no notice
whatever seems to be taken of it, at least none has
come within the knowledge of yonr correspondent.
I venture tho assertion that there is not a city in
the United States, if in tbe world with the same
wealth and population that the city of Macon has
with as bad roads leading into it. And that, too, in
sight of the town, some of them within tho corpor
ate limits. The moat important,or the largest coun
try trade tbat comes to your city passes over this
road. Twiggs, Wilkinson, and some of Laurens,
and a large portion of Jones are compelled to bring
what ever produce they have for market over this
road. The wonder is tbat none of them have not
gone to Griswoldville and other pointB on tho
Central Railroad and thence to Savannah.
Just here allow me to call the attention of
your city to the fact that the Macon and Augusta
Railroad is very near its completion, and tho Road
looking to its interest, and with a disposition to ac
commodate, will locate its depots between Milledge
ville and Macon near together. If you don’t improve
this Road, Jones county will hanl to the stations
and ship to Augusta. Twiggs will go to Brunswick
or Savannah. This valuable trade onco lost can
never be regained—a portion of it will be lost in any
event. Bnt if yon show a willingness to assist in
giving them good waggon roads, at least remove
tho barrier right at your city. But why multiply and
repeat what has so often boon said? Every one
knows that this road is very had and all admit that
it ought to be improved. Then why not go to work
and do iti It rever can and never will be done by
the hands whose duty it is to work the roads, they
have not the time or tho necessary implements
to do it. ■
I suggest that the Road Commissioners recommend
the Ordinary, or those whoso duty it is. to levy a tax.
Another and bettor plan would bo for tho City
Council to make an appropriation or subscription at
once, sufficient to have tho work done. Still anoth
er plan, or altogether, if yon please, is to raise by
private subscription in tbo city and the part of tho
country interested, a sufficient sum for the purpose.
If the last plan has to be resorted to, although not
a citizen of the county, and not owning any property
in yonr city, I propose to give $100 to begin with.
Raise the money by some means—get the city carte
and hands, or get some of the railroad contractors
now at worknear the city, who have organized forces
and all the appliances; appoint a committee to see
that the work is well done and the money properly
expended. Have the tops of the hills cut down, and
put in the bottoms, and say to your friends in ytflir
own an adjoining counties, we want your trade,
and are willing to assit you in getting it here, and
my word for it, both tho city and country will be
benefitted. Respectfully,
Progress.
The Western Freight Question.—We have been
assured repeatedly hero of late, that tho blockade
in western freights would be lifted that day or the
next; that the preasure was about over and that
goods would come through with regularity. But at
tho present writing we are still in the slough of de
spond. Our stores aro empty, whilst their files are
full of bills of lading and orders from tho country
to ship more produce than ie iu town. For ten days
past our merchants have been-running around town
buying from each other and trying to keep their
business afloat. But they aro about at their wits
end, and can do nothing but wait patiently for the
railroads to bring forward supplies.
The truth is, the western lineshavo more business
than they can do. They are now in the condition of
a pair of scales which only draws one hundred
pounds bnt aro required to weigh a bulk of three
hundred. The commerce of the country will not
suffer this evil long. It will quickly build other
roads and still others, and keep building until they
catch up with the progress of tbe country. We are
promised a new road from Cincinnati to Chattanoo
ga, and another from Griffin to Decatur in the next
twelve months, and aro assured that tho capital will
not bo wanting to construct both in tho time speci
fied. We also hear that the Cincinnati and Chatta
nooga road is to ba contined to Macon, and finally lo
cate its extreme Southern terminus here. We hope
so. It will have touched the great heart—the grand
distributing point of the South.
It wili be folly to stop it at Chattanooga. There are
one thousand car loads of freight in that depot to
day waiting transportation Sonth. This road, if
Btopped there, wonld oply make the periodical
chokes worse and of moro frequent occurrence.
Therefore the whole object of the road—to facili
tate shipments from the West to the Southeastern
States—would be defeated right thero. Every man
from Cincinnati in the city on the late Green Lino
Excursion saw and admitted this fact. But it will
take several years to complete this grand railway,
whilst immediate relief is the question. Tho roads
already in operation must get more^enginea and
and cars. They have money and credit enough to
double their present amount of rolling stock, and
it must be done. Instead of rnnning two freight
trains a day, as some of their Rip Yan Winklo Su
perintendents now foolishly dream is the greatest
abundance, they must run four, six. ten or fifteen
if necessary. Why, it is not remarkable for a North
ern railroad to dispatch fifteen freight trains per
day, and why not do it here ? “Oh,” says old Rip,
“we haven’t got the money” That is a falsehood,
sir. You not only have plenty of money, bnt you
have an excellent credit, amply sufficient to pur-
chaeo all the cars necessary to bring shipments from
the western markets through in six or eight days.
Yon now consume twenty or thirty.
In ttie meantime, our trade is leaving ns, and our
best customers running off to other markets for
supplies. Let us live in hope if wo dio in despair
More Flour.—In passing Lloyd & Son's exten-
sivo grocery and provision store on Poplar street
yesterday morning, our attention was called to a
largo and freeh supply of Cohen’s celebrated flour
which had just been received. It was also whis
pered confidentially in*our ear, that it was useless
for os or anybody else to try to make it appear that
better flour, or even as good as Cohen's was in this
market, or could be brought to it.
Capt. Flint eays ho sent a sack of this flour to
Queen Victoria, recently, with his compliments and
the request that she would give it a trial and for
ward an order. She did try it, and retnrned many
thanks; bnt requested her dear Arthur, now in this
country, to call on Lloyd A Son and aay to them,
that the flonr was a finer article than the royal fami
ly were accustomed to, and on account of the great
distance and uncertainty attending the navigation
of the Ocean, ehewaa reluctantly forced to defer
its introduction in the family until Hr. Cohen could
establish a branch of his mills in London, and pro
posed to lease to him for a number of yean tbe
great Tower for tbat purpose. Now, what do the
other flour dealers of Macon think of that—for high ?
Put Your House in Order—-This is a most desi
rable object in a practical, scriptural and medical
sense—by attending to the latter, the two former

mule trade in this market is now quite brisk and
tbat over 100 bead have been sold since the first
insti There are now in the city several lots of first-

Connubial! ties.
While Adam slept, God from him took
A bone; .and,.as an omen,
He made it like a seraph look,
And thus created woman.
He tookthis bone not from his pate,
To show her power more ample;
Nor from his feet, to designate
That-he on her migit trample.
But ’neath his arm, to clearly show
He always should protect her;
And near his heart, to let him know
How much he should respect her.
He took this bone, crooked enough,
Most crooked of the human,
To show him how much crooked stuff
He’d always find in woman.
Local Retorting.— 1 The proposition to establish
a department for education in journalism in Walk
ing tou College has elicited considerable comment.
The Cincinnati Times thinks there should be a spe
cial professorship for instruction in local reporting;
and thus most truthfully and graphically indicate
what the course should be:
Tho student in tho local business should have a
great deal of exetcise on his legs each day—taught
tbat it isn’t brains so much as leg talent that ia tn-r
quired to m&ko an efficient reporter. He must learn
to smell an item a long distance, as the model wav-
horse “snuffeth the battle from afar,” and spun m»
exertion in finding iti His fancy and imaginattet
need to be cultivated somewhat, and his invoniter
quickened and encouraged, in order that he tatf
have something to fall back on in case things per
sistently refuse to happen, for the public demands
local news every day, remember, whether there be
any or not. Deprive them of able “leaders,” ani
they may stand it for a day or two, bnt they wont
give up their local news, not for a single issue.) ao
Tho would-be local will require little instruction
in regard to receiving presents of boots, hats, demis
ing, bottles of wine, oysters, cigars, dead-head tiob-
ets, e*c. They learn that very readily. The pw-
fessor can do as he pleases about advising them -te
refuso or accept such perquisites. If any conectea-
tious youug local should have any scruples abowt
accepting, we wonld remind him that he has as htgb
authority as the President of the United States for
taking in any presents offered him, and he can tes
tate it or not.
The student should bo tauglit to miss his meals
often, sit up late at night, eat all sorts of fee tiro
suppers, and sit patiently to hear long aud daft
speeches from after dinner orators. He must bo
taught to h&vo no emotions of his own, tolookupo*
all calamities with a purely professional eye, to ob
serve and describe the convulsive humor of a pop
ular comedian, or a hangman, with the same stoical
indifference. The professor of local reporter
ought to hang a man occasionally in tho presence of
the class, in order that they may become accus
tomed to reporting executions. And finally, tbe
candidate for the “local” chair should learn to iqm
on a moderate income, sternly subdue all inclina
tions for more than tho necessaries of life, and be
willing to give poverty a smiling welcome, until
fate or his own exortions hoists lim to ahigher plaea.
