The above is a little word our venerable se
nior uses to characterize the force which is to
propel this machine during his absence, and
while he is enrobed at Savannah with the honors
the press gang of the State bestowed upon him
in this city last November. This force is small,
but did it never occur to the old gentleman
that a grain of powder can be made to ex-
Fnrtber Particulars or the Accident
on the Macon and Brunswick Bail*
road.
From gentlemen who came np from Brunswick
on Sunday afternoon, we get further particulars
of the terrible disaster which befell the excur
sion train from Valdosta and Quitman on Friday
evening last, between 6 and 7 o’clock. The
train was composed of three passenger coaches
and three boxcars, and fitted out at Valdosta
by the Atlantic and Gnlf Railroad company
to take an excursion party, numbering about
two hnndred souls, to Brunswick. It left Val
dosta ou Thursday in charge of conductor Del-
annoy, of the Atlantic and Golf Railroad, and
ert a mighty force ? Has he never heard of the _
mustard seed as set forth in Holy Writ, or the • whea '& 6tlain reached’Brunswick, the party ife
small man of destiny? Our senior has hit us of- , ta/ , Cf ai-w—’•- t.i.~i
ten and hard, but really—
“This was the moat unkindeat cut of all.”
We are charitable enough to believe that he
wrote the word when, in his imagination, he oc
cupied the Presidential chair of the Georgia
Press Association at Savannah; when the “ad
ministrative minds” of the Forrest City were
bowiDg in that homage due to his office and
greatness, and when surrounding things in this
unostentations sanctum did look small to him;
but we would urge upon the reader the impor
tant fact that we were not in at the time. Be
sides, in using the Word small, he evidently for
got the corporeal dimensions of at least one of
the editors in whose hand he was to leave his
vigorous quill Nothing will atono for this se
rious discrepancy of the Senior, but a bottle of
champagne, immediately deposited on this desk
when he returns. __
Meeting or Railroad Presidents.
A report is current on the streets that a meet
ing of Railroad Presidents will take place at
Atlanta to-morrow; and that the object is to
raise the price of freight—to do r.way with the
Green Line—and to “bust” up the present ar
rangements generally. We hope not. The
Green Line is now doing lovely. It is promptly
bringing forward goods in as quick time as any
organization or combination could possibly do.
True, it was somewhat overcropped last winter,
but it now has moro cars and a better system.
We hope these officials will spare ns the ante,
delnvian and preadamite plan of transferring
their freight to each other’s cars at the termi
nation of all their roads. Com, for instance,
will lose more in thus being handled than the
invoice calls for. Bnt, perhaps, we are to have
something better substituted—something like
Milton’s Paradise Lost, “yet analtempted in
prose or rhyme.” And so condemnations in ad
vance are strictly impolite, ODjust and out of
order. Spare ns the old plans, though, for they,
like Bullet’s horse, were “ pole-eviled, ring
boned, swinnied, spavined, sore-backed, bob
tailed and hip-shotten.”

ited St, Simon’s Island, and there spent most of
Friday. Returning to Brunswick the party
again took the train at half-past C o’clock in the
afternoon to return home.
It is reported to ns that the engineer of the
train, a man named Igo, bad visited the island
during the day, and had become so much in
toxicated, that it was necessary to pick him up
and place him in one of the boats when the
party left the island. Sobering off a little by
the time he reached Brunswick, he was permit
ted by the conductor to take charge of the en
gine, and he left the city with a fall head of
steam, and when the train reached the point on
the Macon and Brunswick Road where the dis
aster occurred, it was hounding along at the
rate of 45 or 50 miles an hour, in a reckless,
timeless and dangerous manner, and when it
reached the trestle-work or cribbing abont 14
miles this side of Brunswick, the wholo train
except the locomotive, bonndedoff the track into
the swamp and marsh below, literally tearing
the cars to pieces and producing a wreck appall
ing in its aspects and terrible in its results. We
give below a list of the killed and wounded as
we find it in the Savannah Republican of Sun
day:
Killed—C. W. Knowles, of Blackshear; John
Parker, of Q hitman; Winn, colored child,
of Quitman.
Seriously Wounded—Hasty Winn, Monroe
Greiner, A Greiner, Ben Hilyard,Celia Fry, (all
of the above are coldred, and belong to Quitman)
Wm. Baker, colored, train hand, right leg bro
ken.
Slightly Wounded—A Fleming, C. Wilkison,
and C. Foy, of Quitman; J. Boston, Thos. Cook,
B. Goodwin, H. Bragweli, A. A. Harrold and H.
Lane, of Valdosta; Mrs. Harper, T. L. Strick
land, W. L. Colo and D. B. Patterson, of Black-
shear; Mrs. M. Knowles, Captain A S. Canuet,
Savannah.
There being no physician on the train the
wounded are said to have suffered very much
until they reached Jessnp, where they received
svery attention and aid it was possible for the
inhabitants and railroad men in the place to
bestow.
The engineer was arrested and taken to Sav
annah; bnt conductor Delnoi should also be held
responsible for permitting this drunken man to
run his train, and particularly so for allowing
him to run it at such a speed when there was no
necessity for it
P. S.—Since the foregoing was in type, we
have received full particulars of tho accident,
as furnished to the Savannah News of yesterday
by Mr. A. S. Delannov, the conductor on the
train. No mention is made of the intoxication
of the engineer, and Mr. Delannoy excuses
himself and the engineer by saying both were
unacquainted with the nature of the road where
the accident occurred. In the foregoing article
we have only repeated what has been told ns
by several reliable gentlemen, and if they have
been misinformed, it is no fault of ours. A full
investigation of the affair will, however, adjust
all this and bring out the truth.
Tlie Georgia Bill.
Tho special to the Philadelphia Press from
Washington, April 20tb, is as follows:
There does not appear to be any possibility
of the Georgia bill, as amended and passed by
tho Senate, getting through the House. The
Democrats will vote solidly against it, or rather,
perhaps, they will do as their colleagues did in
the Senate, dogde. The Republicans are, of
course, divided upon it. General Butler is
anxious to have the hill referred to the Recon
struction Committee, and made a motion to
that effect to-day, but Mr. Bingham objected.
If it goes to the committee, General Butler will
have charge of it in the House. If it is taken
fromthe Speaker’s table and amended in the
House, Mr. Bingham will have charge of it. I
have not been able to ascertain precisely what
Mr. Butler wants, though the understanding is
that he will accept the Pomeroy bill in prefer
ence to any other proposition likely to be agreed
to by the Senate. Judge Bingham will propose
to amend the Senate bill so that it shall stand
substantially as follows:
Section 1. Be it enacted, eta, That an elec
tion shall bo held in the State of Georgia in
November, 1870, for all the members of the
General Assembly of said State, provided for in
the constitution of said State adopted by its
convention ou the 11th day of March, 18G8, at
which election all persons, who by said consti
tution aro electors, shall bo entitled to vote.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the
State of Georgia is hereby declared to be enti
tled to representation in Congress.
Late in the day the bill, with an amendment
offered by Gen. Logan and one by Hon. John
Cessna, was, on motion of Gen. BaUer, referred
to the Reconstruction Committee. The amend
ment offered by Logan is Bingham’s, and will
be advocated by him in tbe House. Cessna’s
amendment is understood to meet the views of
Gen. Butler. It consists of the original House
bill, withont tbe Bingham amendment, and con
tains three now sections, one being the Williams
amendment, providing that no election for mem
bers of tho Legislature shall be held til Novem
ber, 1872; the other the amendment offered in
the Senate last night by Senator Morton and
adopted, authorizing the Governor of Georgia
to organize a militia force, also agreed to by tbe
Senate last night, empowering the President to
employ the regular army to suppress insurrec
tion, invasion and domestic violence in the
States.

We are gratified to find that the colored peo
ple of this city have decided to change the day
for their contemplated celebration of the 15th
amendment, as the time originally selected came
in conflict with our sacred memorial ceremonies
in honor of the Confederate dead.
The colored men of the city have behaved
well in this matter, and deserve the commenda
tion of all good cittzens.—Chronicle and Senti
nel.
Removal of Mercer University.—The agi
tation of the removal of Mercer University
from Penfield, Greene connty, has again been
revived, or perhaps we should say renewed.
Mr. J. H. Campbell, one of the thirteen trus
tees, who decided the original question of its
location, has written a letter advocating its re
moval to “almost anywhere else than where it
is—Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta, Griffin, Macon
—anywhere that is easy of access, and where
ptudents can have society,” hut will vote for
Macon, because as matters now stand, no Board
of Trustees, and no Faculty, can make it pros
per.” The continuance of this agitation must
prove detrimental to tbe interests of this hon
ored and excellent institution. So great antag
onism of opinion as to the proper locality to in
sure prosperity among “the friends of the col
lege,” foreshadows the establishment of two
colleges instead of one.—Ibid.
Mr. John C. Fanning, an old and esteemed
citizen of Wilkes county, died on the 19th inst.
of the effects of an apoplectic stroke received
several years since.
Last Wednesday they had a tournament in
Bainbridge, of which the Argus says:
At the hour appointed, the knights made their
appearance on the field, in gallant style, under
command of Mr. Wm. Sims, as Richard Cenr de
Lion. After the usual, inevitable, and in this
case, somewhat lengthy preliminaries, the con
test was commenced and carried on in a very
spirited and brilliant style for abont two hours.
Mr. Wright, as Laladin, was declared the win
ner, he having taken eleven rings, in three
rounds. Dr. W. J. Harrell, the Known Knight,
was second, with ten rings, the Knight of tho
Lost Cause, Mr. H. Satterfield, was third with
seven rings, Mr. Gnn, as Red White and Bine
was fourth with six rings, and the Highland
Knight, Mr. John Dickinson, fifth with five
rings. The crowd then repaired to a beautiful
grovo near by to witness the coronation cere
monies. Saladin crowned Mrs. Dr.. Crews as
Queen, and Misses Ida Dickinson, Florence
Maxwell, Georgia Bowne and Lizzie Darden
were selected, as Maids of Honor, by the gal
lant knights, who had won that privilege.
We find the following items in tho Bainbridge
Argus of the 23d:
Our Farming Interest.—The crops in this
section of Georgia aro one month later than we
have ever known them to be at this season of
the year. Some of our planters, we learn, have
not yet finished planting corn, notwithstanding
the planting began on the 14th of February,
which is not an nnnsual time in this latitude.
We presume there is not a field of com in De
catur county, at this writing, that will average
fonr inches in height, whereas, in former years,
fields averaging knee-high were not uncommon
at this date, and some would even surpass that.
Our patches, fields and gardens look very bar
ren ; in many not a green thing is to be seen—
not even grass has dared to venture forth. This
backwardness is not, however, an unfavorable
indication. It does not take crops long to ma
ture, when once they get fairly under way; and
as the most of our farmers were late in com
mencing operations, on account of the difficulty
iu procuring hands, the backwardness of the
season is only in their favor. There was frost
throughout this section on the morning of the
18th, but it did no serious damage that we have
heard of.
The Usual Cold Snap.—We invariably have
a cold spell of weather some time in April, ac
companied by frost, which frequently does con
siderable damage to vegetation. Farmers in
this latitude expect it, and feel no little uneasi
ness until it is passed.
This cold snap visited us on Sunday, the 17tb,
accompanied by stiff breezes from the Westancl
Northwest. On Monday morning a light frost
did some damage to tender vegetation, and in
some instances killed Irish potato-tops, snap
beans, etc., but it was the only frost we had
during the spell, which lasted bnt a few days.
We trust we shall have no more cold weather
the present season.
The Southern Banner, of the 22d, reports
snow and sleet in Athens on the 17th, with no
material damage to crops about there, but has

LGTTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Decsriptlon of SceHi ia tbe Seaateoa the
Occasion of Final Action on the Georgia
Matter.
Washington, April 20, 1870.
Editors Tetegraph and jSfessenger .* ;
The morning session of the Senate yesterday
was devoid of special interest. In view of the
faet that the Georgia bill was not to be voted on
until evening the usual habitues of the galleries
absented themselves,.and Senators Fowler and
Warner made exceedingly pacific and concilia
tory speeches to a very small number of Sena
tors and comparatively deserted galleries.
Thayer, an arrant donkey, followed with one
of his usual tirades. He repeated the old cry
that the Demooratio party had caused the war,
and said that “butfor th6 Demooratio party our
policy of reconstruction would have been thor
oughly successful." This is an admission that
the Radical policy of reconstruction has not
been successful, which is patent to all, but
which Thayer would indignantly deny if his
statement had been presented to him in tho
form of a question.
Mr. Edmonds gave Mr. Drake a Roland for
an Oliver from that gentlemen on a previous
occasion, and reminded the Senator from Mis
souri of tho time when he (Drake) was an ar
dent defender of the institution of slavery.
Air. Sohurznext took the floor and in exposing
the exaggerations indulged in by Senators on
both sides of the pending questions, gave it as
his opinion that the tendency to exaggeration
is a natural vice peculiar to the American
people.
Tho Senate adjourned before he had conolud.
ed his speech to meet at 7:30 p, m.
The scene which presented itself in the even
ing was a striking one. A soft, mellow light
came through the stained glass of the ceiling,
lighting the whole chamber perfectly. Not a
glare of light, not a jet of gas was to be seen
anywhere. The ladies’ gallery was full to over
flowing. The wives of Senators, and their ac
quaintances, occupied the diplomatic gallery.
The “gentlemen’s gallery” was also well filled,
the fifteenth amendments turning out in force—
Senator Hill, the Bullock crew of carpet-baggers
and scalawags, and a stray Representative or
two occupied the chairs and sofas along the
walls on the Senate floor. Air. Bingham, who
had been watching tho debate closely all day,
sat near Mr. Trumbull. The reporter's gallery
had more than its usual quota of Bohemians,
with more than their usual supply of pens, pen
cils, and paper; and with an air of business
about them in striking contrast to their usual
every day, devil-me-care manner. They little
dreamed, however, of the many long hours be
tween them and slnmber.
After disposing of some routine business, Mr.
Schurz resumeed his speech, which was a good,
square, sound constitutional argument—every
word well chosen, every sentence clean cut,
every paragraph neatly rounded, and effectively
delivered. When Mr. Sohurz concluded, Mr.
Trumbull took the floor, and spoke for moro
than three hours, closing at ten minutes past
eleven. His friends feared at first that the very
pointed personal allusions in bis opening para
graphs might injure the cause he had espoused,
Nathan Gunnels, an old citizen of Franklin
connty, is dead.
Air. Mr H. Mansfield, of Athens, has lost two
children within ten days of malignant scarlet
fever, after twenty-fonr hour’s illness; a negro
child also died on the same lot and another is
at the point of death.
Judge J. L. Dupree, for many years a citizen
of Lexington, Ga., bat recently of Athens, died
on the 17th inst. ,11
Fruit.—The editor writes from Franklin
county that there is yet a fair prospect for fruit.
Some orchards are materially injured, but
others promise an abundance.
Flood.—One of the severest rains that has
fallen in several years fell in the upper counties
on the 9th and 10th. A good deal of damage
was done to lands ready for planting, and bot
toms were everywhere submerged. The roads
sustained a good deal of injury, and some
bridges were washed away.
Confirmations.—Rt. Rev. John W. Beck
with, Bishop of Georgia, yesterday morning ad
ministered the rite of confirmation to sixteen
persons at Christ Church, and in the afternoon
to thirty-five at St John’s Chnrch. Among the
latter were a number of members of St. John's
Alission, and several colored members of St.
Stephen’s Church.—Sao. News, 25th.
Four persons died in Ballard connty, Ky.,
last week, from eating ham containing tra-
Richmond, April 26 —James Jeter Phillips, sen
tenced to be hong next Friday for murdering his
wife, baa been respited for 60 days.
Utah.
Cobsinz, Utah, April 21.—Governor Shaffer
arrived here at 8 o’clock to-night. The people
turned out in hundreds and escorted him from
the cars to the Utah House, where he wbs
welcomed in behalf of the citizens by Mayor
Monroe.
The Governor replied briefly, stating that be
is in Utah for the purpose of enforcing the laws
of the United States. When he cannot do this
he will retnm to his home. Tho constitution
and laws mast be respected and obeyed every
where. This Territory will not be made an ex
ception.
Judge Hawley Strickland, one of the Supremo
Court, and General Maxwell, Register of tho
Land Office, followed the Governor, showing
that the intention of the Government was to
suppress polygamy and compel Utah to submit
to the authority of the Republic. The time had
now come to end that abomination. Remon
strances from disloyal and traitorons citizens
will not stay the action of Congress.
The city is illuminated with bonfires and fire
works, and the people are parading the streets
and cheering for tke first real Governor Utah
ever had.
This is the day universally observed in Georgia
for the decoration of the graves of the brave
ones who lost their lives in defense of the cause
so dear to Southern hearts. The most of onr mer
chants wish to close their houses of business
this afternoon in deference to the wishes of the
ladies of the city, and ask that all do so at 2}
o’clock p. m., thus affording their emplyoes an
opportunity to participate in the interesting and
solemn ceremonies of the day, which are ap
pointed at Rose Hill Cemetery, at 31 o’clock.
The Cincinnati Board of Trade, as will be
seen in our Sunday’s dispatches, as they were
refused a charter by tbe Kentucky Legislature,
look to Congress for a national oharter.
In our Sunday’s dispatches, and also in those
of yesterday, will be found remarks from the Em
peror Napoleon, which will give a very clear in
sight into what he-hopes to accomplish through
the plebisoitum. 1
General Thomas-An Interesting Let
ter from General Fitzliagli Lee.
From the Jlichmond Dispatch."]
The following letter from General Fitzhugh
Lee is a valuable contribution to the history of
the recent war. It was called out by us. He
has given ns permission to publish it:
“I knew General Thomas well. Was a lieu
tenant of the cavalry regiment of which he was
the major before the war, and stationed at the
same port in Texas with him. Ho was nn ex
cellent artillery officer (served in that arm in
Mexico), an indifferent ca7aliy one—too heavy,
too slow. Hnd not that ‘coup (Tail plus rapide
gue le courtier emporle au galop, V add rest e d’
un athlete, et V agilited’ uncentaure,’ that Gen.
Foy talks about in the ‘Peninsular War,’ but
which did not prevent him from being a general
officer of indisputable courage and unquestion
able merit.
“You say bo is charged with having, at the
beginning of the war, hesitated as to which side
he should enlist with,’ etc. The New York Tri-
bnne, however, and all other Northern encomi
ums that I have read upon his name and fame,
lay great stress upon his being ‘a Virginian who
never faltered in his allegiance to the Union.’
But they had better have left that part of his
record alone.
“It is a fact that when war threatened between
the two sections of ‘the beat government the
world ever saw,’ General Thomas’ feelings
were Southern to almost the bellicose degree.
“It is a fact that he told me in New York city,
ia 1861, as I was on my way from West Point
to Washington, to resign my commission as an
officer of the United States army, that he, too,
intended to resign, and would soon follow me.
“It is a fact that abont that time he wrote a
letter to John Letcher, then Governor of Vir
ginia, and tendered hia services to the State
(which letter the Governor may have now).
“The State of his birth can hardly be expeot-
ed, under the circumstances, to erect a monu
ment to him, bnt it should not defame him.
“He was an upright, kind-hearted man, and
fought well, though against us. Let him rest in
peace; and let Virginia keep her vials of wrath
to bo forever poured out upon the heads of
some few of her citizens who would not fight
upon either side, but who stayed at home and
made money by being paid by the North as
spies, guides and informers, or who, after hav
ing fought, have acted as if they were ashamed
of their past record.
Very respectfully, your obedie-it servant,
“FsEt.IJuaH Lx*.”
' H.
bat this impression quickly wore away as Mr.
Trumbull proceeded with his argument. The
advice he gave to tho negroes, namely, to think
less of the right of suffrage, and more of pro
viding homes for themselves and families, was
particularly impressive. Daring this portion of
his speech he addressed himself particularly to
Senator Revels. The House, which had been
holding an evening session on the tariff bill, ad
journed at half-past ten, and some forty or fifty
Representatives were added to Air. Trumbull’s
audience before he reached his peroration, the
crowd still remaining in the galleries.
The Radicals commenced to fillibuster when
Mr. Trumbull had concluded, with a view to
killing the bill, or postponing action on it. Mr.
Sumner moved that the Senate adjourn; but on
being reminded by the Chair that it had been
agreed by the Senate to vote on the bill before
adjourning, he magnanimously condescended to
withdraw his motion. Motions to postpone the
bill indefinitely, and to lay it on the table, were
voted down. A dozen or two of amendments,
many of them of an exceedingly puerile charac
ter, and designed only to weary the Senate and
force an adjournment, were voted down—the
yeas and nays being called for on every amend
ment. Mr. Drake led off in this unstatesman
like performance. He offered an amendment
giving the President powers not warranted by
the Constitution, half a dozen times, with slight
verbal alterations; though the first vote told
him that no such measures could pass. Air.
Nye, who made his appearance at a late hour,
evidently from some festive gathering, took the
parts of a buffoon and a fish-wife, and acted the
dual role with signal success. Ho referred to
his colleagues as “gentlemen,” and then apolo
gized for having done so; which brought Drake
to his feet with an inquiry whether the Senator
from Nevada meant to insinuate that his col
leagues were not gentlemen. “No,” said Nye,
“I did not insinuate anything, and I don’t take
back anything.” Later, Nye turned his ribald
vocabulary on tho Demooratio Senators, for
having, as he said, voted to pat Georgia under
military rule. He hoped soon to see the Sena
tor from Ohio (Mr. Thurman) equipped in uni
form and marching through Georgia.
Air. Thurman, in replying, did not deign to
resort to the buffoonery or slang of Nye, and
was quite good-natured in his remarks until
Nye said he hoped the uniform of the Senator
would be blue, not gray. Then did Mr. Thur
man’s face flush, his eyes blaze, and his passion
rise to a white heat. Turning to tho creature,
Nye, he said between his teeth: “If the Sen
ator from Nevada dares to assort that I have ev
er worn any uniform but the blue, he will get
au answer he won’t like.” But no; the Sen
ator from Nevada would - not assert, would not
insinuate, anything of tho kind. He “ took
water” at once; and perhaps it is well for him,
and for the decorum of the Senate, that he did
so. Were I to attempt to describe half tho in
cidents of this memorable night session, I should
fill a whole page of the Telegraph and Messen-
ger. The apperanco of the Senate as tho night
waned—the attitnde and movements of the Sen
ators ; of Bullock, to whom no one spoke, and
who was shunned like a pestilence; of Blodgett,
bored, sleepy, miserable and disgusted; of
Prince, ditto; of the ladies, who sat out the de
bate, and of the correspondents in the gallery,
supplying with busy pens and pencils the tele
grapher’s instrument which kept up a constant
clicking in their rear—much might bo written;
but for fear of boring, rather than pleasing my
readers, for whom I sat out the session—I for
bear.
The Georgia bill, as it passed tbe Senate this
morning, may bo summed up in a few words.
Of the bill as received from tho House not a
fragment i3 left. Bingham’s amendment and
Butler’s bill have been unceremoniously stricken,
out The basis of the present»bill is Air. Pome
roy’s amendment, before mentioned as a com
promise measure. It is understood to be ac
ceptable to the Bingham party. The bill as it
now stands makes tho present government of
Georgia provisional until tho admission of tho
State. It provides for tbe eleetion of a new
Legislature this fall, in accordance with tho re
quirements of the State Constitution, tho mem
bers elected to meet and organize preparatory
to the admission of the State to representation
in Congress. It authorizes the President to sup
press domestic violence in any State whore it
cannot bo suppressed by the local authorities,
and further authorizes the President to exercise
the same power as in case of invasion. This
section is in direct and flagrant violation of
Section IV, Article IV of the Constitution. The
bill also permits the reorganization of the mi
litia of Georgia. Sach is the bill is it now
stands. What tbe House will do with it is a mat
ter of mere conjecture, and can only be deter
mined by its action. Some assert that the bill
will pass the House in its present shape. Others
are just as confident that it will not I can claim
no propbetie power, and form no oonclnsions as

A memorandum found upon the person of
the lately deceased Dr. Cruikshank, who was

tains tho following philosophic sentiment:
Some men are born vagabonds, some achieve
vagabondage, and others have it thrust upon
them. I may characterize myself as one of the
first class.”
In a conversation abont tho Georgia case on
Wednesday, the President said he wanted the re
construction finished up, as he believed the whole
country was tired of it. This shows that the
projeot of remanding Georgia to military gov
ernment does not meat bis approval.

Ollivier will decline responsibility for the docu
ment.
We understand that Mr. Wadley, the Presi
dent of tho Central railroad, and Hon. Jno. P.
King, President of the Georgia railroad, were
in conference yesterday with Mr. Pollard, and
that the long pending difficulties between the
two lines were harmonized and arrangements
perfected that will result in increased facilities
to our seotion, both as to travel and transporta
tion.
It is well known that at the end of the war
the M. and W. P. K. R. was completely pros
trated; in fact the last act of the war was the
entire destruction of all its oars, engines and
moveable property, by Gen. Wilson, and that
Mr. Pollard, under the greatest difficulties, sno
cceded in putting it in working condition, and
changed its gnage to that of connecting roads,
and then took np the building of the Selma
road, wliiok the war had suspended.
To obtain means for this, he called upon con
necting roads to the east to assist him, and
while the Charleston line declined to do this,
the Central lino came promptly up and aided
Mr. Pollard to an extent necessary to secure the
road to Selma. ThiB caused the M. <fc. W. P.
R. R. to give faotilities for transportation to the
Central or Savannah route that they felt bound,
from the simplest feeling of gratitude, not to
extend to the Charleston line, and the result
has been temporarily to restrict the through
transportation facilities to one line, and has
worked in somo respects badly for the city.
At the conference yesterday the Georgia Rail-
road line assumed half the burden heretofore
taken by the Central Railroad, and in future the
road will offer equal facilities in nil directions.
We congratulate Mr. Pollard in this final suc
cess of his policy, which has brought np the
M. & W. P. R. R. from a state of utter prostra
tion at tho close of the war to a stronger posi
tion than it ever before occupied, and seonred
such 6trong friends to the road that its success
as a main trank line is forever established.

“Coal to Newcastle” is an Englishman’s il
lustration of the reversal of the ordinary oonrse
of things. Our commerce has often been char
acterized by similar contradictory features with
in the past few years—the result of the many
disturbing influences which have prevailed.
During the late war we brought baok large
quantities of our own cotton from Liverpool;
in the Spring of 1867 the wheat which we ob
tained from the same market (muoh of whioh
wo had exported) prevented bread going to
famine prices. We have sometimes brought
back lard, bacon, pork, seeds, hops, and other
leading staples. But we are probably abont to
cap the olimax of all these by importing Indian
oorn from Europe. Our stock in this market is
reduced to a' quarter of a million bushels—
scarcely a fortnight’s consumption, even at the
reduced rate; there is very tittle coming; the
receipts at the Western markets are soarcely
more than a quarter as large as last year. Those
who travelled through the Middle States last
June and Jnly will not donbt that the crop last
year was very deficient; bat we would advise
farmers not to hold back too long. To draw
large supplies from Europe, while farmers are
refusing to sell, may cause a repetition in that
staple of tbe extraordinary revulsion which fol
lowed a similar course with wheat,—2ftf» York

Tbe Hlgrimate of Living Poets to tbe
Silver Labe.
A DREAM.
I am one cf those unfortunate youths to
whom the muse has glanced a sparkling of her
light, one of those who pant for distinction,
but have not within them the immortal power
which commands it. There are many who feel
keenly and earnestly the eloquence of heart
and mind in others, ujbo cannot from, some
inability or unobtrusiveness, clearly express
their own feelings; whose lives are but long
and silent dreams of romantic pleasure ana
poetical wonderment, who love tne matchless
fancies of genuine bards as interpreters, and
guardians of those visionary delights which
are the perpetual inmates of their own bosom.
I love the poets. I live in the light of their
fancies. How delightful to wander forth on
summer evenings when “Old Sol” is wheeling
himself to rest on his couch of crimson and
gold, and the little painted songsters with
their forked tongues, hail in soft and melliflu
ous harmony, the approaeh of the queen, of
night who, leaving her soft couch mounts high
the terial throne, showering her silvery radi
ance over the quiet peaceful waters of the lake
beneath.
’Twas on such an evening that I roamed,
and being tired and weary, seated myself care-
lesslybeneath a large water-oak, which spread
its huge arms over our beautiful lake, and
bent itself so that its brielit green foliage
kinsed the bright, sparkling waters, which
broke in little rings at my feet. After musing
on the fairy beauties of Spencer, and from
thence passing to the bards of our own time,
and comparing them with others who had
go e before, "I yielded, to the low gurgling
waters, which lulled me into a gentle slumber.
A dream-angel floating by poised herself upon
the grass beside me, and limning my brow with
a leaf of scarlet poppy, arched her gauzy wings
so that the zephyrs playing over them filled the
air with a strange, sweet music, like the low
breathings of an reolean harp swept by an
gels’ wings.
The light of my thoughts gilded my dreams,
my vision was a proof of mental existence,
when the bodily senses had passed away.
In fancy, the waters of the lake became
brighter, and purer, and shone like a sea of
burnished silver, as it played with the sun
beams, forming little Dubbles which broke
against the pebbly shores. Out of the crystal
waves rose a female figure clothed with a sil
very mist, with countenance full of light, and
golden hair tasking on her shoulders, like
“sunny beams on alabaster rocks.” I knew
her to be the guardian of the lake; her silvery
voice rang out clear, upon the evening air like
the soft tones of some half-forgotten strain of
music, or village bells at even-tide, saying she
would permit me to see, (myself unseen) the
annual proeession of bards, to take water from
tho lake that day, and know in what manner
each would dispose of his potion. Scarcely
had the lute-like tones of her voice died away,
when I heard the sound of approaching feet,
and confused mingling of voices. In a little
while I saw a crowd advancing towards the
lake, each provided with a vessel in which to
bear away, a potion of its waters. They paused
a. little distance from me, then each walked
singly and slowly from the throng, and dipped
his vessel in the wild, blue waves of Silver
Lake. The sound of invisible wings were
heard playing in the air, as if troops of un
seen spirits were hovering above.
First, a melancholy figure moved slowly
forth, and silently filled a Grecian urn. I
knew by the look of nobility and the hurried
and turbulent plunge, with which the vessel
was dashed into the waters, that it was Lord
Byron. He shed tears while gazing on the lake,
and they seemed to make it purer and fairer;
raising his urn he vowed to keep its contents
euntouchd for many years, but scarcely had
he spoken ere he had springled it forth upon
the earth, and then suddenly retreated.
Then there advanced a polite personage
oddly clad in a Scottish plaid and silk stock
ing, it was Walter Scott; plunging an old
helmet, he raised it with a steady hand, and
the waters took a pleasant, sparkling foam,
while the war-like metal gleamed through its
shallowness. Next came Thomas Moore. I
knew him by the wild lustre of his eye, and
the fine freedom of hi3 air, he gaily dipped
a goblet in the lake, and in his high spirited
manner said he would turn his share to Nectar.
I heard wiu-r play pleasantly in the air, while
he bent ovw the waves, and departed in smiles.
Now one advanced whose brow was encircled
by a wreath of faded laurels, which had every
mark of town-growth; ho seemed quite be
wildered, and scarcely remembered his way;
his voice was chanting the praises of Kings
and courts as he advanced, but he dropped
spmc little poems behind which were well
worth remembering. I knew him to be Sou
they; he was compelled to stoop before he
could reach the inspiring waters, and his gol
den vessel procured but little at last. Hur
riedly he mounted his horse and started for
St James.
Then appeared Rogers with a glass in hand,
which I recognized as having once belonged
to Oliver Goldsmith. He caught but a lew
drops, which he mingled with common water.
In a pensive attitude Montgomery sauntered
by. He mused a while, then dipping a cup
in, he muttered, a few words—halfpoetiy, half
prayer, and retired in silence.
With a wild, yet nervous step, another came
from the throng; light visions started np in
the distance as he moved, and the figure of
Hope could be faintly discerned amid them.
She smiled on him as he advanced. I recog
nized him to be Campbell. He dipped in his
vessel with a fine, bold air, and expressed his
intention of analyzing his share.
Next came Hunt, with a rich goblet in his
hand, richly enambled with Italian landscapes.
He held it to his breast as he approached, and
his eye kindled with delight, after catching a
wave in which a sunbeam seemed to have
'freshly melted. He 'intimated Jhat he would
water heart’s ease with it.
Coleridge, Lamb and Poe walked forth, arm
in arm, and moved gentljr down the lake-
From the simplicity of their remarks I found
their hearts were wedded to innocence and
peace; but Coleridge spoke carelessly of a
metaphysical poem he was writing in a hun
dred hooks. Lamb said, he would prefer one
of his affectionate, feeling sonnets to all his
wanderings in mind. Coleridge and Lamb
dipped in a shallow part of the lake, bnt Poo
went into the deepest, where he might have
caught the purest waters, had he not unfortu
nately clouded it with the sand which he him
self disturbed from the bottom.
Last came a calm and majestic figure, mov
ing serenely towards tho lake. Tne modest
little, violets sprang up to catch the pressure
of his feet, and the sunlight foil with a finer
glow, spirits rustled musically in the air, and
now and then a wing twinkled into sight, and
its feathers of wavy gold fanned his brow. It
was Wordsworth. In his’hand he held a vase
of pure crystal On reaching the brink, the
waves proudly swelled into his vase. At this
moment the lightsome spirits again shone into
being, and dropped a garland on his brow.
Sounds etherial swelled and trembled in the
air, and forms of light played in and out of
sight, and all around seemed like a living world
of breathing poetry. Wordsworth bent with
reverence over the vase, and retired with calm
dignity. The sounds now ceased and the air
became less bright, and the flowers drooped
and faded away. Hearing a confusion of
tongues behind, me, I turned, and found it
arose from a mistaken group who were chat
ting, and hustling, and dipping their vessels
in a pond, which they supposed was the in
spired lake. There wa9 fiayley, bowing and
trying to reach the waters with a tea cup;
Wilson with a spoon; Bowles was laboriously
engaged ia Hilling fourteen nut shells; Lewis
slowly and mysteriously plunged a wooden
bowl in, but could retain but a small potion.
There were no encouraging signs in the ele
ments, no delightful sounds of attendant genii,
no springing up of flowers to cheer these wor
thies in their pursuits. They were satisfied
with their own greatness, ana flattered into
industry with their own vanity and fondness,
After some time the perpetual activity of
tongues fatigued my ears. I turned from the
noisy crowd towards the silent heavens. There
to my astonished senses appeared Sbakspeare,
surrounded with excessive light, with Young
and Milton on one hand, end Spencer on 4be
