Addresss to the People of Sumter,
Schley, Marlon, Worth, Dooly and
Chattahoochee Counties.
The citizens of Sumter county interested in
opening the shortest Rail communication with
Savannah and Brunswick, are earnestly re
quested to attend a Railroad Meeting to b« held
in Amerious, Saturday, the 19th instant.
The people of Worth, Dooly, Schley, Marion
and Chattahoochee counties, interested in the
construction of a Railroad from a point on the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, near Isabella,
in Worth county, to Columbus, Ga., are invited
to hold meetings in their counties prior to that
time, and send delegates to the meeting in this
place prepared to co-operate with ns.
The city authorities, Board of Trade, and
delegates representing the citizens generally of
Columbus, are also solicited to attend this meet
ing, aid ns with their counsel and contribute to
the object sought.
Will not all who axe interested in the Agri
cultural, Commercial arid Manufacturing pros
perity of the section to be penetrated by this
road, bestir themselves in this noble enterprise?
The completion of this road shortens the dis
tance by rail from Savannah to Colombo 30
miles and to Amerions 57 miles—relieves the
people of this seotion from a system of Railroad
monopoly and unjust discrimination which has
been borne by them nntil intolerable—enhances
the market value of cotton one cent per ponnd—
and enables the farmer, producer and every
other class to purchase supplies of every kind
at correspondingly lower prices.
Columbus and Americas received 90,000bales
of cotton this season—this road saves the plant
ers producing this cotton five dollars per bale,
which amounts to $450,000. The decrease in
the price of merchandize purchased and con
sumed by the planter saves him another $450,-
000. Give to the planter this road for two
years, and his nett savings daring the time pays
the entire cost thereof; at the same time, yonr
mercantile and manufacturing interests are aug
mented with gigantic strides.
This road iB designed to pass throngh a sec
tion greatly in need of rail communication—a
seotion faznoas for 4he production of ootton,
but heretofore inconvenient, and at times al
most inaccessible to martlet. Notwithstanding
the many disadvantages under which the plant
ers of this section have labored, they have gen
erally prospered, while many have grown
rich. If such has been their success over se-
ious disadvantages, what may they not do
when these disadvantages are removed?
Plaoe it within their power to nse commercial
fertilizers, for instance, and yon plaoe it
within their power to grow from three to fonr
bales of cotton where they now make bnt two.
Pat it within their power to save hauling their
cotton to market at a cost of from one to three
dollars per bale—relieve them from railroad mo
nopoly and discrimination, and pnt them within
such close connection with Savannah and Bruns
wick as to enable them to realize a cent per
ponnd for their cotton more than they now re
ceive, and yon thereby enable them to realize
from six to eight dollars per bale more than they
have been accustomed to. Open to these peo
ple by the contemplated road and others to con
nect therewith, the shortest ronte to the Missis
sippi and the trade marts of the West, and there
by relieve them of railroad monopoly in that
direction and enable them to supply their farms
with stock, bacon, corn, lard, flour, oats, lime,
coal, eto., at prices greatly reduced as compared
with present ones, and they, with these advan
tages and many others too numerous to name,
will prosper as never did a people before—they
will flourish as the green bay tree—this section
will blossom as the rose. The wealth of this

At a late hoar toot night we received the fol
lowing accounts of the late dieeater in Asiatic
waters, and the sinking of the United .States
steamer Oneida. The loss of life was terrible,
and the accounts intimate that a fearful respon
sibility rests upon the officers of the Bombay :
San Francisco, March 1.—The ship Benefac
tress has arrived from Yokohama, Japan, to-jay.
She brings fall particulars of the kae of the
United States steamer Oneida, which left Yoko
hama on the 23d of : January, homeward bound.
The steamer left her anchorage.about five
o’clock in the afternoon, and the aocident oc
curred at 7 o'clock the same evening. The
United States Minister visited her in the fore
noon. and received the usual salute, and the
guns were reloaded with the expectation of re
plying to a salute from a Russian gunboat to
Minister Delong. The salute, however, was not
given, and the guns remained loaded.
As the Oneida steamed ont of the harbor the
crews of the various vessels in the port gave
cheers, and wished her a happy voyage. On
passing ont of the harbor her fires were banked
and steam blown off. While the officers were
at dinner, at about 7 o’olock, the lookout man
shouted, “Steamer light ahead! "and a midship
man gave the order to port helm.
Everything seemed quiet on board the other
steamer. This leads to toe belief that she had
not observed the Oneida, although her lights
were burning brightly.
The steamer, whioh proved to be toe Bombay,
of the Peninsular line, came right on, and
struck the Oneida on too starboard, abaft the
gangway. About half way between the main
and mizzen rigging a bole was cut, throngh
which the whole interior of the ship was visible.
The binnacle, wheel and rudder were carried
away, and two men standing at the wheel were
instantly killed. The Bombay did not stop af
ter crashing throngh the Oneida, although toe
gnus of the latter, which happened to be loaded,
were almost instantly fired to attract her atten
tion, and bring her baok.
Orders were given to lower the boats, bnt
only one life-boat was available, the others hav
ing been crashed. The life-boat was manned
by Dr. Snddarda, the boatswain, and fifteen of
the crew. Five guns were fired, bnt before the
sixth could be discharged the Oneida sank,
within ten minutes after she was struck. None
of those saved saw a man or heard a voice on
board the Bombay. They report that when it
became evident that there was no hope of
saving the ship, the officers gathered around
Captain ’Williams, and he was heard to say that
if the ship went down, he wonld go with her.
The life-boat was obliged to leave the sinking
ship to avoid being swamped.
After polling about for awhile the crew of the
life-boat, seeing none of toe crew floating, (not
one of all the 1G0 who went down,) unwillingly
bent their boat’s head towards the land, aoont
five miles distant. On landing, the natives
treated them kindly; and obtaining the assist
ance of a guide, they started to walk to Yoko
hama, where they arrived at daylight the next
morning. The Bombay was immediately or
dered to toe soene of the wreck, and succeeded
in saving thirty-nine men, who had got into a
cutter which floated where toe ship went down.
Several other vessels, including one with
Minister Delong on board, proceeded to toe
scene of the disaster daring the day, bat no
more lives were saved.
The Japanese Government sent boats and
apparatus to search for the wreck, and if nec

Tbe Beer Question—A Serious Out
look.
A Kansas correspondent of the Chicago Re
publican, in a review of the cattle trade, gives
rather a startling account for the lovers of beef.
He says that the number of beef cattle in Texas,
whence the chief supply oomes, is not near so
large as recent statements made it. It has boen
given ont and generally understood that Texas
now contains three or fonr times as many cattle
as at the close of tho war, but such is not the
case. The Agricultural Department gave the
number of cattle in Texas in 18GG as 3,111,475,
while the latest departmental estimates, giving
the number in February, 18G9, place it at 2,697,
338 head. This is a decrease of 414,137 in toree
years. The census also shows that not only
Texas, bnt all the Sonthem States and most of
the Northern States, contain a much smaller
number of cattle than they did ten years back.
The assertion is made that while the popula
tion has increased fall thirty-three per cent,
within the past ten years, the number of neat
cattle has actually decreased twenty per cent,
and, notwithstanding the enhanced price of
moat, the supply is constantly growing less
abundant. In 1»G0, with a population of 31,-
417,331, we had 25,640,337 neat cattle in the
country; while now, with a population of more
than 40,000,000, according to the report of the
Department of Agriculture, we have but 21,633,-
0G9, showing a net decrease since I860 of more
than 4,000,000 animals, when, to preserve the
ratio of oattlo to tho population, we should
have had an increese of about 7,000,000. There
now exists an actual deficit in the supply of one-
third, there being at this time abont 54 animals
each 100 people, instead of 80, to preserve
the proper ratio. The supply of beef is even
less abundant than these figures show, as there
are 500,000 more miloh cows than there were in
18G0, notwithstanding the great decrease in the
total number of cattle.
The cause of this extraordinary decrease in
beef cattle is said to bo owing to the rapid ex
tension of dairy farming. In I860 toe milch
cows were 34 per oent. of the whole, now they
are 43 per cent., yet toe ratio of milch cows to
population has greatly decresed during the past
ten years. It is also stated that there are scarce
ly half as many sheep in the conntry as we had
fonr years back.
If these estimates be correct, it wonld be
supposed that the market prioc of diary produce
wotfld be disadvantageously affected by snoh a
rapid extension of that business; bnt experi
ence does not show this. Milk,bntter and cheese
are abont as high now as daring the war to con
sumers, and o r course, there has been bnt little
difference in beef. According to governmental
statistics, population has increased, while one
of the chief means of its rapport has decreased.
Has not toe disinclination for agricultural
life, and a rush to the cities of a greater por
tion of the population than heretofore, conse
quent upon toe unhealthy oondition of things
produced by the war, something to do with it?
This most have vastly reduced toe prodnoere of
food, and as proportionately increased the con
sumers. This unhealthly oondition of things
will be doubtless remieded in time by natural
laws, although it may take a long period before
the normal condition of things is again reached,
and production overtakes consumption. Good
beef is now pretty much as scarce an article
with mechanics as are angels’ visits, and in a
short time, if affairs do not take a torn, a joint
of beef will have become bnt a sweet thing of
memory to a large portion of onr population.
As the jniey beef and tender mutton recede,
the hideons phantom of hippophagy will ad
vance, until the ruminant has been entirely
replaced by the equine as an -artiole of food,
and old horses in onr cities held at a premium.

arouse Mr. Anthony Cavagna, who, with his
wife, resided on the farm, aDd the ten or
twelve hands employed there, was the work
of a moment, but it was seen at once that all
efforts to save the cows would be useless. A
strong wind was blowing, and the entrances
to the stables were already wrapped in flames.
The cisterns were inside the stables, and could
not be approached. One desperate effort was
made to release some of the 121 milch cows,
of fine breed, that were being roasted alive.—
Several were released, but only one could he
gotten out, the remaining 120 being burnt
alive. The horse stable could not be entered,
over 200 tons of hay, stored aloft in the con
necting bam, burning with frightful rapidity
and heat, and forbidding near approach.—
Fourteen of the fine large mules for which
Mr. Cavagna had been long noted, and for a
pair of which he recently refused $1,000, three
fine colts, and fifteen fine calves were con
sumed. With this portion of the property
went several wagons, ten or twelve sets of
harness, fifty or sixty tons Of grain and feed,
plows and fanning implements qf all kinds.—
A stable, containing two cows in process of
fattening, stood near the bull stable, which
fortunately lay about thirty-five feet to wind
ward, and was protected by dint of throwing
bncketsful of water upon it. The residence,
also to the windward, was likewise drenched.
The bulls, three in number, and valued at
$2,000 each, were led out of danger.

The Bine Ridge Railroad.
This is the connecting link between the Ten
nessee and South Carolina lines of the great
Cincinnati, Knoxville and Charleston railroad
so long projected, and, as we hope, coming
now to the verge of completion. There
has been a great effort to push it through the
difficult pass of the Rabun Gap at the north
east corner of the State of Georgia. The en
gineering on this part of the lino, although
marvelously assisted by nature, has been of
the most difficult character. Col. Jas. P. Low,
we believe, has had it in charge, and has de
layed his last report in order to embrace some
new and valuable information.
The Walhalla (S. C.) Courier contains the
annexed gratifyingintelligence concerning this
enterprise:
“It is now well understood that a better
ronte can be found for this road than the old
one. The new ronte commences near the de
pot, at this place, and intersects with the orig
inal line eighteen miles west of this point. By
this means tbe Stumphonae tunnel and the
two intermediate ones can be avoided. Two
miles in distance can be saved by the change,
and the cost of the new route over the com
pletion of the old one is about the same. We
rejoice in being able to make this statement by
authority. It will destroy the prejudice en
gendered against this enterprise on account of
the assumed impracticability of boring through
the Stumphouse tunnel. Besideswe have as
surances from more quarters than one, that
the road will be completed at an early day.
Locally the proposed change of route will
throw the track in or near town, and with it
