It “ I i, e S een, by » n esamination of the table, vton the 85th of January, last com freight the Western and Atlantic Railroad rose snd- 7* durjD g the day- from $18.65 f or 10,070 V, j 0 $31.93 for 15,067 pounds, and since j? (toe, as Josh Billings would remark, “ha9 ^inneid stedily at that figger.” Thus, on 4/Sacks on and since the 25th January, the 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 ing i ibe Western States for corn. Wo don’t bio lint that a people who pnrsno such a poli-' ej igiit to be punished in this way by Blodgett. Uuocli Before tlic Senate Judiciary Committee. le press dispatches chronicle a little hitch Go'IInllock has got into before the Senate Ju- dicry Committee. Senators Carpenter, Ed- mab and Conklin, of the Committee, remind- ! tJnllook that when last before that Commit- , t«iii was burdened with heavy complaints 1 igmtthe outrage and usurpation practiced by I iilXmocrat.s in seating persons who had re- I (ted only a minority of the votes cast at the I il.tion, in place of the expelled negro mcm- bei; and culled upon him to explain how be ac appeared before them r.s the defender of tisane act of usurpation applied in filling tho sea of Democratic members expelled for ina- Ijirto take the test oath required by the act I opmmote reconstruction! The Committee I gie kirn till Saturday to explain and answer, I ad the question will afford lively exerci-M for | Bt'ock's ingenuity. deantiine, the Agency stands adjourned till I nut Monday, the 14th, and meeting at that time I rilprobably adjourn from day to day till the Idecision of Congress is had. But as the Senate [fudiemry Committee will not report before 1 londay, at the soonest, and both houses have ben to act upon whatever proposition comes 1o, tho Agency may have to wait a good long I the. And suppose that Congress should order [ eletioa* to till the vacancies of disqualified 1 umbers? A possible, if not a probable event | —to Agency may wait ft still longer time, I wbih perhaps they can affoid to do on ft per | dien of nine dollars. 'flip Knd at 51 a ml. The news from Paris yesterday was stirring. I It seens that Rochefort is nearing the end of I his ropo very rapidly, and wo hope very soon I to hear that he has reached the nooso and I tested iti strength. If the life was choked out ltf all snch assassins and strife-breeders the I world r.uidd rejoice. If this phase of Radical- lien can only bo crushed by grape and canister, I to be it. That is the cap Rochefort & Co. arc I working to fit on tho heads of tho peaceful [f>r<.T>erty owners of France. If we were a iFiuchman, the cry of a la lanterne would be I onr (orament upon the arrest of tho nrch trai- |tor hochefort ___ Important Decision. In tie report of cases decided by the Supreme Court published to-day, it will bo seen that the Court smtains tho injunction granted by Jndge Cole, in (be case of Stephen Collins and others ‘gainst tb Central Railroad, restraining tbo nloof the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad stock held by the Cityof Savannah, to thfe Central Railroad Company, at contrary to public policy and for other reamm. Soo iho decisions. Another Great Event.—One of the most interesting facts of tho day, says an exchange, «the arrival ol the Great Eastern at Bombay, and the successful laying of the cable connect ing England with her Eist India possessions. woro exchanged on Monday between Bombay and London, and there is nothing now ‘o prevent the former from shaking hands even *ith Ban Francisco. It will not bo long now before the lightning line is extended to Canton Mid Pekin—and then with a submarine cable fia Japan to our own shores, the electric cur- ftnt around tho world will be completed. Puck’s premise to put ft girdlo round tho earth in forty minutes will then cease to bo a poetic fiction *2d become an accomplished fact. So tbo world moTes! 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. Pke Apples.—The Jacksonville (Fla.) Union w ys Mr. Benjamin Baker, of Key West, Fla., has sold his crop of pine apples this year for Nearly seven thousand dollars. The crop was gathered from less than an acre and a half of Pound. He has one hundred and fifteen thou- *asd plants which will bo in bearing next year, ‘td these cover less than seven acres of ground tad ff sold at the same rate as this year’s crop, net him sixty thousand dollars. The pine ‘Pple crop of tho next year will exceed two hnn- kod thousand dollars. * Tee Would Almanac.—Ye beg to thank the Proprietor of the New York world for a copy of the World Almanac for 1870. It is one of the roost useful and complete manuals of the kind we have, ever seen. Compiled with groat care, and ornishing statistics and information upon a wide ***8* of subjects of much public interest, it commends itself to ibe special favor of all who t -‘ru a handbook for daily reference. Male Twain ” has just married Miss Olivia ' 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. [Communicated. 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. Macon, February, 1870. flHAHUULL &ND OOMMEKUlrit A Plagiarist Exposed—>How tlie Tele graph & Messenger is Appreciated. Albany, Ga., Febiuary Cth, 1870. Editor* Telegraph and Me**cnger: “Julia Ward Howe” is respectfully referred to VoL II, Owen Meredith’s Poems, for an exact copy, (or original,) of her beautiful poem which appears on the fourth page of to-day’s Telegraph and Messenger. Owen, is a naughty fellow to take such liberties with her pieces. Respectfully, P. S. I cannot forbear stating that your pa per is tbe best I know of, and that I had rather give up anything in the way of print than the T.iit 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.

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 falcation, had been arrested for his assault npon him, he exclaimed: “Yes, and I greatly regret it, and have ordered his release. If I had not been interfered with, I wonld have pnnished the sconndrel on the spot. I do not want the aid of the law to protect me, or redress my wrongs. My dear mother, God bless her. whenl was a boy, gave me this piece of advice: ‘Never to sue for slander, indict for assault and battery, or permit a personal assanlt to go unpunished on the spot;’ and God knows I have most re ligiously adhered to it throughout my life j" and dashing a long-stemmed white clay pipe, which he had been smoking, on the mantel-piece, by which he was erectly standing, he broke it into atoms. 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.”.

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 can be achieved. Tone the atomach, that your digestion may be perfect; rouse and stimulate the torpid liver, that your complexion may be dear, your appetite good, and your eyes lustrous and intelligent; regu late the bowels and keep them up to a healthy stand ard ; brace np yonr weakened nerves, that you may no longer be nervous or hysterical; improve yonr general health that yon may be enabled to go through life rejoicing. The great remedy to bring about this desirable end is the medicated compound that is universally nsed: Solomons’ Bitters. feblO-d&wtf The Mule Trade.—Drovers inform us that the 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- dass mules and some very nice horses for sale. 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.
