Business of the Suez Canal.
From November 17 to March 1 >5, 200 ships
jsUh-6 tonage of 14G,631 tons, besides COO small
craft passed through the canal. The nation
alities'Of these vessels have been as follows: 80
EDglfch, 44 French, 23 Egyptian, 18 Austrian,
14 Italian, II Busaian, and the remainder Ger
man, 'Spanish, Portugese and Turkish. Of these
200 have been steamers and only nine sailing
vessels. Thirty-three were vessels of war. The
growth of the transit may be estimated by the
following record: In December butt) vessels,
•in" January 16, in February 29, in March -62.—
The increase in the receipts is not less satisfac
tory. Beceipts in December, 48,420 francs;
March 450,000 francs. To this last amount is
to bo added about 50.000 franc3 for fares from
travel. M. Lesseps, in his report, says that an
iron steamer may be bniit for this traffic which
will carry 2,000 tons of freight from London to
Bombay, and bring back the same amount, all
in seventy days. The freight, at 150 francs
per ton, will leavo the shipper a handsome
profit. A sailing vessel for tho semo voyage
requires eight months or more, and charges 120
francs per ton. M. Lesseps estimates that as
soon as commercial movements are regularly
established the receipts from the .canal cannot
be less than 00,000,000 francs by the passing
through of at least 0,000,000 tons.
The American merchant marine, it will be
marked, makes no showing at all—not a single
vessel carrying the United States flag having
passed through the canal.
Georgia Mutual Life Iusnrancc Coni'
puny.
This is a Macon company, which has been in
very successful operation for about a year, and
is in the hands of men of character, capital and
energy. It insures upon the mntnal plan, di
viding profits with policy holders, and allows
thirty-threo per cent of tho premiums to re
main in the hands of the insured, as a loan.
CoL W. J. Lawton is President, B. J. Lightfoot,
Secretary, and J. O. McBomey, Esq., principal
agent. The success which has almost uniform
ly attended these domestic insurance companies,
inspires the hope that the great business of un
derwriting lives and properly in Georgia, can
hereafter be done to a great extent at homo,
with perfect security to the insured and with
’great benefit to the moneyed capital of the conn'
iry.
The Philadelphia Hail Storm.
Tho Ago of the 9th gives a very graphio de
scription of the terrible hailstorm there the day
before, and which was brifly reported by tele
graph. Tho storm commenced at balf-past two
in tho afternoon and lasted twenty minutes.
Tho stones varied from the size of a peach
stone to that of an egg, and fell so thickly that
everything looked of an ashen hue. Awnings
and hot houses were as thoroughly riddled as if
buckshot had been fired through them. On
tiprnco street, betweon Seventh and Broad, one
hoar after tho storm ceased, the accumulation
of hail was five inches thick.
During tho storm, curious phenomena oc
curred, much the same as those attending the
storm of ’67. The large hailstones were appa
rently minute bombs, whioh, in striking an ob
ject, exploded with a load and sharp report, and
not only by the taste, but by the smell, was the
presence of sulphur detected.
Tlie Cotton States Lite Insurance
Company.
We take pleasure in calling special attention,
this morning, to the advertisement of this home
institution. It is, as we are much gratified to
know and state, doing remarkably well—better
even than was anticipated by the sagaoious men
who organized it. Within tho short time it has
been at work, it has issued Eleven Hundred
policies, and is daily extending the field of its
operations. No Company, anywhere, rests up
on a safer, more solid basis, or is managed with
more prudence and good judgment. Its officei?
are all well known business men, whose charac
ters alone are and shonld be a guarantee for
tho Company in every respect.
A Game Not Worth the Candle.
The Northern Bepubllcans and their repre
sentatives in Congress are sacrificing good gov
ernment, the public welfare and the principles
of equity, justice and reason, in the vain expec
tation of building up a predominant party force
in the Southern States ont of the negroes and
their political affiliators in this section. Do
they not now see that this hope or expectation
can never be realized?
If they will look under their Own noses in
Washington, they will see a spectacle of brutali
ty, misrule, discord and corruption which shonld
sicken them of negro parties. If they go to
North Carolina, and look at the so-called State
Bepnblican Convention there, they mnst have
sharp eyes to discern any prospect there bnt a
growing public disgust and infamy. South Car
olina is such a carnival of rampant ignorance
and knavery that she is a practical scarecrow^—
Every decent Northern republican who visits
that State hangs his head and goes home half or
wholly resolved to vote the democratic ticket
Georgia is the established congressional emetic.
Ia there an honost Bepnblican in tho country,
who does not gag over the party in Georgia ?
Louisiana? What can be said of Louisiana
more comprehensive than the declarations of a
Bepnblican Judge upon the bench that the State
and city have been pluudrtd by tho party func
tionaries more in the last year, that by all her
malefactors in any five years of thoir history.
And so of all tho other States—an unbroken
waste of fraud and malversation in every form—
showing that unless Congress can reverse all
moral And political laws, instead of building np
a predominant party in the South, by force and
government influence, they liavo only been
erecting fabrics which tumble to pieces of their
owninhorent weakness and rottenness, while
they are losing every chanco for party influence
and power founded npon honest persuasion of
tho justice, beneficence and patriotism of the
Bepnblican organization. They are burning
into the intelligent Southern mind the fixed and
inertdicablo conviction that political radicalism
in the United States is synonymous with injus
tice, violence, lawlessness, intolerance, op
pression, bad and foolish government and a re
morseless prostitution of the Federal influence
and power to the most selfish, sinister and cor
rupt party and personal objects. This is tho
character republicanism is working for itself
among the intelligent people of the South—yea,
even among thousands who would gladly array
themselves in party opposition to tho Demo
crats, if the Badicals would allow them to do
it, in reasonably good conscience.
We submit to Northern Bepnblicans that they
have given this experiment of building up a
party in the South upon an ebony and carpet
bag foundation, trial enough to know that it
mnst fail. The game is not worth the candle.
Why not try something else ?
Sensible.— Senator Cameron observed the
other day in the Senate, “the Senator from Illi
nois says the country expects ns to pass a tariff
bill, expects ns to pass a currenoy bill, expects
us to pass the Georgia bill. I do not believe
the country expects any such thing. My belief
is that tho country expects to pass tho appro
priations necessary to carry on the government,
redace the taxes, and then go home and attend
to our own private affairs. When wo are at
home we do no harm to the public, and while
wo are here we do very little good; and, there-*
fore, I think the sooner wo get off tho better for
ourselves, and tho better for the country."
-Tnz French Election.—The Paris' corres
pondent of the Charleston News, writing about
a fortnight before the election, says:
Napoleon expects a vote of confidence of be
tween six and seven millions. With such, ho
may gracefully part even with the right, how
ever abstract, of tho Plebiscite. The friends
of order of all shades have grouped themselves
to secaro the govarnment a success. They en
close checks to meet the expenses of the
“stumping committees," and when men put
their hands thus in their pockets they are in
earnest.
fcThe vote of Paris was—Yes, 138,790; no,
182,881; negative majority, 44,091; totalvote,
821,071. Paris has ceased to be France.
Congressional Work.—The World says that
1950 bills and 2S3 joint resolutions have been
proposed in the House this session. Of these
bills 207 have passed the House, 100 have
passed the Senate, and 73 of the joint resolu
tions have passed the House. In the Senate
893 bills and 192 joint resolutions have been
introduced, and 219 of these bills and 79 of the
resolutions have passed the Senate, and 58 bills
and 40 joint resolutions have passed the House,
of tho whole 2849 bills and 475 resolutions. 158
bills nnd 100 joint resolutions have passed both
Houses.

Religions Re-Union.
Tho telegrams yesterday announced that the
Southern Baptist Convention in Lonisville had
unanimously adopted a resolution adverse to co
operation with the Northern Baptists. In tho
Methodist Conference, at Memphis, a memorial
had been presented from the Northern Metho
dist Church, suggesting a re-union of the two
branches of that Church, and asking for the ap
pointment of a Committee of Conference on
the subject.
The action of these vast and intelligent bodies
of Christian men, on such a subject, is bound
to exert a powerful influence npon the politics
as well os the religions situation of tho country.
Mr. Webster, Mr. Calhoan and Mr. Clay—all of
them, in their public speeches at the time of
the division, deplored it as one of tho most om
inous signs of the time; and we may safely say
a cordial understanding will never again exist
between tho Sonth and the other sections of the
country, until Providence shall open the way
for a re-union of the religious denominations
upon a ba sis of Christian e quality and fraternity.
We will not undertake to say when each a
movement can be safely consummated; bnt its
primary condition must, of course, be one of
perfect fairness and equality. The Northern
Methodists showed themselves sharp and ag
gressive in dividing the chnrch and its common
property; it behooves them now to be preem
inently liberal, just and conciliatotyin promo
ting a reconsolidation. Let them discontinue
the work of spoliation and aggression npon the
Southern Metho'dists, and cultivate harmonious
and fraternal relations now, while a reunion is
talked of. 2hat will be a good beginning.
For our part, believing that the destiny of
this country most be worked ont nnder a com
mon government, and that, therefore, it is im
portant, in every view, to restore harmony as
soon as possible; believing that there will never
cease to bo unhappy rivalries, jealousies and
conflicts of interest and jurisdiction between
the denominations Sonth, unless they are re
united ; and that a reunion will give the South
ern Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians in
creased power and influence for good npon
society in the Sonth, and of course in the North
also, we shall be glad when the time comes
that they may safely and honorably reunite.
A Lively Fight.
From newspaper and other sources, the news
comes that the liveliest sort of a fight is going
on all over tho Sonth, almost, and notably in
North Carolina and Mississippi, between those
interesting creatures known as scallswags and
carpet-baggers. Their backs are np, and like
tom cats, their eyes are shining, and their claws
working in and ont preparatory to a dash at
each other’s throats. They are quarreling over
the spoils they have filched from the white peo
ple, of coarse, and for the negro vote, whereby
they hope to retain possession of their ill-gotten
plunder.
We hardly know where to put our money in
the fight. The C. B.’s as a general thing, have
more brains than their rivals, and in addition
can vaunt themselves the peculiar friends and
champions of the negroes, most of them having
been in the Federal army in some capacity.—
But, on tho other hand, the scalawags, if not so
sharp, are, as a class, a great deal meaner than
the carpet-baggers, besides being more inti
mately acquainted with the negro in all his
phasos,and his basest and moBt brutal instincts
and passions. In short, yonr genuine scalawag
can come nearer down or np, as the case may
be, to tho negro’s level than the Northern
white man with his inborn prejudices, and
therefore it looks as though he ought to win.—
We guess our best policy will be to hedge, after
all—bet on one in one State, and on another in
another State.
In the issue, as finally to be decided, however,
the true people of the Sonth can have no par
ticular interest unless these people fight to the
Kilkenny cat extremity. That consummation
would please them amazingly. It would serve
a double purpose, viz: Afford them much sport,
and sooner rid them of a villainous* set of plun
derers who agree upon nothing except robbing
honest men. We hope the fight will go on, and
by way of encouragement we say bravo scalla-
wag, go it carpet-bapger. •

- For the year ending March 31st, 1870,31,009,-
513 pounds of guano were shipped over the
Georgia railroad, of which about 25,000,000
pounds wero for points on the road and its
branches.
The Augusta City Council has decided that
running railroad trains through that city is not
a nuisance.
Tne Savannah Nows says:
Large Supplies op Fish.—There -arrived at
Warsaw river, Thunderbolt, on Sunday last,
two smacks from the Florida coast The wells
of the smacks contained over 450 red snappers.
Monday evening last a smack arrived in War
saw river and anchored off Thunderbolt; the
well of this smack was well filled with blackfish
from the banks of the South Carolina coast.
The Bepnblican gives the following account
of the parade of the colored portion of the Sa
vannah Fire Department:
The colored portion of the City’s Fire Depart
ment had its parade yesterday. Three compa
nies were in line, and they made an appearance
that was extremely creditable not only to the in
dividuals of which the companies are composed
but that portion of the Depaitment of which
they are the worthy representatives. Their
uniforms wore particularly striking and neat,
and every man marched with the steadiness
and ^precision of veterans. The companies,
consisting of Columbia No. 5, Tomichichi No.
7, and Neptune No. 4, with their reels, formed
in line on South Broad street and in front of
Firemen’s Hall, where they were received by
Mayor Screven and the Board of Aldermen’s
Fire Department Committee. Frnvions to their
meeting the honorable gentlemen by whom they
were received, tho lino was halted and tho drum
corp3 sent forward to salute the Mayor and the
committee. This was very appropriate. The
Mayor then advanced and delivered an excel
lent address, daring which he said that ho con-
gratulated them on their fine appearance, their
good behavior, and on tho cleanliness of their
engines. He said that he was happy to meet
those men who, though formerly slaves, were
now good citizens, and were assisting to protect
the interests of our great city. The Mayor,
after wishing them a successful future, closed
his speech with a few words of counsel. The
presidents of one or two of the companies
spoke briefly but feelingly in reply. During
the delivery of tho Mayor’s speech, there was
not a head of any person in the line bnt what
was uncovered.
The Columbus Sun says the Eagle and Phenix
factory is now working np seven bales of cotton
a day and will soon use up eleven bales. It pays
out over $10,000 a month to its employes.
In the case of the city of Columbus against a
lot of Sunday liquor dealers tried Tuesday, the
Mayor dismissed all the suits, deciding that the
municipal authorities had no right to prevent
the sale or drinking of liquor on Sunday—that
it was a matter for State interference.
The Columbus Enquirer, commenting upon
tho report of tho President of the Bainbridge,
Cnthbert and Columbus railroad says.
The first section extends from Bainbridge to
Colquitt, a distance of twenty miles, and tho ro-
port says that the road will be one straight line
for this distance, on the parallel of tho 31st de
gree of latitude. The report estimates the cost
of preparing the bed for this section at $2,354
per mile, and the superstructure at $0,235 per
mile; total cost for road bed, superstructure and
equipment of the first twenty miles, $234,819;
bridge over Flint river $45,000; engineering
and contingent expenses $27,982—making tho
total cost of construction and equipment of this
section $307,801, an average of only $15,390 per
mile. The Engineer reports that this section
will be ready for superstructure by the 1st of
July next.
The second division embraces the section
from Colquitt to Cnthbert, a distance of forty-
five miles. The cost of the local work, or pre
paration of the bed, is estimated at $2,810.50
per mile, or $126,74G.50 for the section; the
equipment (locomotives,-cars, depots, etc.) ne
cessary to do the business from Bainbridge to
Cnthbert is estimated at $188,305.G0; and the
total cost of the equipped road from Bainbridge
to Cnthbert, a distance of 05 miles, at $872,
770.85.
The Athens Watchman says tho peach crop
of Northeast Georgia will be abundant. From
Athens to Cleveland via Gainesville the editor
saw pc-aches in great abundance. Apples are
still more promising.
Of tho wheat crop of that section, the Watch
man says:
In all tho adjoining counties the unanimous
report of all parties is, that the growing wheat
crop is one of unusual promise—while in the
country above we know from personal observa
tion that it is looking unusually well.
The Dawson Journal reports that there were

Hawkinsville.
The Dispatch says the fruit crop in Dooly
will be good. Crops rather backward, though
green and growing. They are generally clean,
and in good condition for rain.
The Bamesville Gazette says:
Cotton chopping is progressing rapidly all
through the country, good stands of cotton hav
ing been obtained, notwithstanding the unpro-
pitionsness of the seasons. We have heard of
one or two instances of worms destroying tho
plant after coming up.
The Cartersville Express says they are hav
ing a very cool, dry spell np there—the dryest
Spring for ten years. Stands of com and cot
ton pretty fair. Small grain needs rain.

The Georgia Railroad.
The meeting of the directors and stock
holders of this road was held in Augusta, Wed
nesday . From the report of the President and
Superintendent of the road, we make some ex
tracts. The gross earnings of the road for the
year ending March 31st, 1870 were $1,352,-
029 55; dividends on stocks, interest, rent, etc.,
$83,470 19; earnings of bank $20,414 11, mak
ing the total income of the road for the year,
from all sources, $1,456,183 85. The gross ex
panses for the same period were $1,027,197 13
of which $1,002,925 55 were for road expenses
and expenditures on account of the road, $9,-
724 33 bank expenses and $14,547 25 for re
deeming circulation of old bills. This leaves a
net income from all sources of $128,980 92 from
which two dividends of 4 per cent each, free of
tax, and aggregating $349,104 have been dclared.
leaving a balance unexpended of $79,882 72.—
These results compared with similar ones for
the year ending March 31st, 1869, show an in
crease of $247,598 51 in receipt?, and $106,-
758 28 in expenses, making an increase in the
net income of $80,050 23.
Of the extension of the road from Athens to
Babnn Gap and thence to Knoxville, and of
pushing tho road’s Southwestern connections
via the Montgomery and "West Point railroad,
the report says:
When our charter was originally granted, a
connection with the Valley of the Ohio, in the
direction of Cincinnati and Lonisville, through
Georgia and the Rabun Gap, was contemplated
by the legislature, and also by our stockholders.
And'on the amendment of our charter in 1835,
we were kept in mind of this purpose by the
proviso “that the continuation of the said road
beyond Athens, so as to connect with the Cin
cinnati road, shall be steadily prosecuted, so
soon as tho Company shall have satisfactory ev
idence that the said connection can be formed.”
The obligation to the State has perhaps been
removed by the State itself having changed its
policy, and adopted a different line to reach the
Valley of the Mississippi by way of Chattanoo
ga, but it is believed, that in justice to a portion
of the otiginal stockholders, the disposition re
mains to comply with this original obligation in
the charter, whenever the contemplated contin
gency occurs. The means and ability to do so,
will of coarse have to be considered at the prop
er time.
At an early day after the completion of oar
road to Atlanta, the importance of seenringfree
connection with the Southwest was fully appre
ciated, ani large sums were expended for that
purpose. First by aid to the Montgomery and
West Point road, and afterwards to build the
Atlanta and West Point road to connect with
that road at West Point. By the embarrass
ments of the Montgomery and West Point road,
occasioned by the ravages of war, and the mon
opoly of its stock by the Savannah line, we were
likely to lose the benefits of this important con
nection. To give full value to this connection,
it became necessary to extend tho line to Selma,
and it wis proposed by the authorities of the
Central Bailroad Company, that if our Compa
ny would join in securing that important im
provement the two Companies should be placed
upon the tamo footing “in every particular.”
Tho parties have been negotiating upon this
basis, and it is hoped that what may be done
by tho Boa:d of Directors, may prove satisfac
tory to tho stockholders.
Thrilling Description of the Acci
dent at the Capitol.
Elbert Fowler, Esq., writes to the Bristol
(Tenn.,) Newsa most graphio description of his
experience in going down with the Richmond
capitol floor. We give a few extracts:
To my right wero Meredith, Neeson, and El-
lyson; to my left were Wells, Chandler, Cha-
hoon, Senators Kindrick and Herndon; imme
diately in my front were Dr. Brock and the re
porters of tho city press, while Patrick Henry
Aylott sat abont two feet on my left; in my rear
were Robert Miller, of Montgomery, Henry
Bowen, of Tazewell, and Stubbs, of Gloucester
—all members of the House; by my side were
two old men whose heads were white. At this
instant, ere I had been three minuteB in the
room, there was a loud, sharp report, followed
by one louder and sharper than before; the
main girder immediately beneath me broke, tho
floor assumed a funnel shape, a sort of sympa
thetic shudder ran through the vast crowd, and
in an instant of time, ere we could start or
move, wo were hurled and dashed down twenty-
eight feet into the hall of the House of Dele
gates. As wo sank with that peculiar wave and
tremor that accompanies a falling body, amid
the general shout I looked upward, and oh, hor
ror of horrors! the gallery, with all its human
freight nnd heavy fljor, its death-dealing tim
bers and jagged nails, tlie clerk's office with all
its ponderous desks and huge books, the stair
way that led oat to the roof; the lofty ceiling
with its great wooden beams, its iron bolls and
heavy plaster, came thick and fast, crashed and
crushing npon onr unprotected heads. I saw
all: I knew all; yet I must have been insensible
for several minutes. I heard the workmen re
moving tho timbers above me, and I knew they
were trying to rescue us. I knew the man un
der me had died without a murmur or a struggle.
I heard tho poor fellow who lay by my right side
say “Oh, Jesus, you saved the thief upon the
Cross; save me!’’ and I knew that he, too, was
dead; for my right arm was caught between the
timbers and pinned across his throat so that he
had ceased to breathe. I heard another cry.—
Oh death, where is thy stiDg? Oh grave,where
is thy victory' 1 ? and I knew that ho, too, was
gone. I know that two poor fellows on my left
had fallen with their faces together, and hoard
one say, “My friend, can’t you turn your head
a little ?" and when told that he coaid not
move, calmly replied, “Then I must die.” He
had no murmur to make, but died only as man
can die in such a place. My eye was black, my
forehead scraped, my nose black and blue, my
ear mashed, my head cut to pices, my ankle
sprained, my leg mashed, my clothes torn to
pieces, my hat, stick, and pooket-book gone, my
mouth full of clotted blood, and still I thought
I was not hurt. I absolutely walked from the
Exchange to the Capitol the next morning, re
covered my cane from the ruins and returned to
sponn the day in the parlor, when three days
afterward I could, with difficulty, walk on a
orntch. And this seems to have been the pre
vailing opinion with all those who wero wound
ed; they wero not hart much, and yet several
are dead.
The story given ont,aud generally believed at
first, that tho accident was caused by the giving
way of the gallery, is a mistake. "When the main
girder under the floor broke, the floor sank, and
as the gallery rested on the floor it followed;
bnt the gallery was conneoted with the ceiling
—which seemed to have been suspended four or
five feet below the roof by a Btairway and some
lesser timbers—these drew down the ceiling.
So that the force of the floor caused the fall of
the gallery, and the gallery that of tho ceiling.
I saw it in this order. Could it have happened
otherwise ?

An “Unreconstructed” Baptist D. D.
Of the Bev. P. H. Mell, D. D., Vice Chan
cellor of onr State University, and President of
the Southern Baptist Convention recently in
session at Louisville, tho Courier-Journal tells
the following story whioh we do not recollect to
have seen in print before:
In Baltimore in 18C8, when the response of
tho Southern Baptist Convention to the frater
nal message of the Northern Baptist Convention
was being discussed, the venerable Dr. Welob,
of New York, had the floor and was making a
very loving speech. To show that he did not
oensure harshly his Southern brethren, he said:
“Why, Brother'President, if I had been in the
South, such are the impulses of my heart that
I should no doubt have been one of the leaders
of the rebellion.” At the utterance of the last
word the gavel came down sharply, and Dr.
Mell said, in his firmest bnt most courteous
tones: ‘ ‘The chair rules that word out of order
on this floor.” “.Why, Brother President, what
shall I call it, then, sir?” meekly asked Dr.
Welch. “The chair will not presume to dic
tate, sir, but he insists upon his ruling that the
word ‘rebellion’ in that connection is out of or
der. He shall so hold, unless you appeal from
the decision of the chair. Do you appeal, sir?”
“No, Brother President, I do not appeal,”
meekly responded Dr. Weloh, and there were
not a few followers of the “late so-called” who
inwardly rejoiced that, in any respeotable body,
the word “rebellion” oould be ruled out of or
der.

Fish Culture—A Visit to Spring Villa
From the Montgomery Mail. 1
Spring Villa, the oonntry seat of CoL W. F.
O. Yonge, lies in Lee oonnty, Ala., three miles
from Yonge’s Station, on the Columbus and
Opelika rallroacL It was laid ont for the culti
vation of fish in 1851 and the lake oompleted in
1801. The lake covers Bix acres, and tne wind
ings of the stream which feeds it must be near
ly a mile in length. Tfae springs, which alone
feed the lake, number thirty-one, the central
and most important of which gushes np like the
current from a strong artesian welL These
springs are enclosed and well gravelled, the
waiers being dear as crystal. The lake is or
namented with weeping willows, water oaks,
aspens and other varieties of decorative trees.
Islands have been thrown up throughout the
lake and covered with a vigorous growth of
shrubs and shade trees. Several row-boats have
been placed upon the lake for the convenience
of fishers and the pleasure of visitors. The
water is so clear throughout that the different
varieties of fish with which it abounds may be
seen swimming about—Suckers, scraping the
bottom in search of spawn, whioh they destroy
in immense quantities; Trouts chasing, with
their cannibal propensities, the smaller mem
bers of the fish family; and Breams, the true
Southern fish, alone pursuing the even tenor of
their way, striving to do equal and exact justice
to all varieties, without regard to race, color, or
previous condition.
CoL Yonge h%s never stocked his lake with
fish. He discovered the springs, trained the
waters into the reservoirs, and the fish appeared
spontaneously. It is not for us to say whero
they came from. We leave all that to Darwin
and Agassiz. They came just as fish come in
brick-yard puddles, in wells, and in the ditches
around the old fortifications; just as pinos come
up in old fields, and just as oaks grow up when
the pines are ent down; and just as the so-
called Japanese clover has sprung up all over
the South. These special plants, and fish, need
no transplanting or transportation. They just
grow of their own accord, asTopsy did.
With the thirty springs which feed his lake,
CoL Yonge proposes to form thirty different
primary reservoirs for spawning the different
varieties of fish which may be adapted to our
temperature. On a small scale he has already
practically illustrated the plan which he now
submits to the East Alabama AgrioultnralAssoci-
ation, and which he proposes to the farmers of
the State as a most valuable addition to their
home productions. When the spawning season
arrives, the tront or bream, as the case may bo,
is caught and transported to the primary foun
tain reservoir appropriated to that variety,
where the spawn is deposited. The parent
fish are then immediately allowed to escape
by raising the wire-door and letting them pass
down into the lake. The spawn prodnoe thou
sands of young. At a certain age, say six
months, the gate is raised and they all pass
down into reservoir No. 2, where they remain
and grow to the age of one year. They then
pass to reservoir No. 3, where they reach the
age of two years. They are then introduced into
the great lake, where their size and strength
save them from being made the .prey of their
cannibal kinsmen. If, however, the spawn
were deposited in the lake, great part of it
would become the prey of Backers, Eels, Tar-
ties, &o., and that which developed into young
would suffer another loss by being preyed upon
by larger fish of their own variety; so that but
a small proportion of the eggs would ever reach
maturity. But, by removing the spawn to the
fountain sources, protecting tho young, sepa
rating the varieties, and permitting only those
of the same age to mingle together, the produc
tion is vastly increased and the sale of fish be
comes a matter of great pecuniary profit.
Most persons have springs of more or less
volume and of the proper temperature on their
premises, and generally near their dwellings.
The labor of preparing the ponds and lakes
would be cheap, as it could be done at such sea
sons as not to interfere with ordinary farm
work. There is no reason why the experiments
made by GoL Yonge, reBultiDg in such marked
success, may not be tried by every farmer and
planter. The primary spring at Spring Yilla
is a noble one, but not bolder than a hundred
others which may be found in this State. In
training the waters into a proper channel, the
.other springs made their appearance, and they
*in turn being controlled, that which was a
marshy and unseemly hill-side and bottom be
came a lovely meadow and lake. Just such a
conformation of ground and arrangement of
springs may be found all over the State.
It may be asked what does all this amount
to, apart from tho pleasure of fishing and of
natural beauty? In reply, it may be said that
fish may enter largely into the economy of the
plantation. It is a cheap food. It costs noth
ing to raise except the expense of preparing
the lake. Fish cannot easily be stolen; poach
ing being a most difficult and laborious work
in such a case. CoL Yonge has not made his
lake a source of profit, but nevertheless has
frequently realized hundreds of dollars by the
sale of trout and bream.

“Moreof Bullock’s schemes have been brought

A STRAW©® DEATH-BED.
Cartons Particulars «f Hoar* of
a Courtesan—She Foretell* Her Own
The filets oonnected with the death of Sarah
Gladstone have been kept quiet and away
from the public, but have excited a very deep
interest among the few medical men and
others acquainted with them. There appears,
however, no object in further se ® re ^ y * "S
unfortunate prostitute has been dead several
weeks, and it is pretty well established that
she has no near relatives, whose feelings need
be considered in connection with the matter.
We therefore give the story as told by those
personally acquainted with the facte, suppress-
nnin . TwrGnnlftTs as to the names ot
ing only a few particulars as to the names
persons and localities. ‘ , . ,
Sarah Gladstone belonged to that class ot
prostitutes milled by the polioe privateers.
Her home was a small room.m a tenement
building which die kept furnished with great
neatness and taste. It was never the scene
of drunken revels or unruly gatherings, and,
in fact, Sarah’s visitors were so few that it was
often said she had some private means of her
own. It was well established that she was a
prostitute, although she was never up before
court for the offenoe, and always conducted
herself oa the street with decorum. She had
been well educated, was exceedingly handsome,
and her manner and deportment indicated
that her early associations must have been re-
fined and genteel. Very little is known about
her history, Sho came to this city about two
years ago from the east, hut under what cir
cumstances and from what city or town is not
known. She never spoke of her past life, ex
cept what escaped from her lips on her death
bed; as mentioned farther on.
A month or so ago Sarah was taken ill.
The fact was first discovered by a^young man,
a clerk who was in the habit of visiting her.
He went to her room one Saturday night and
found the door unlocked and Sarah absent.
Thinking she was only gone, but for a mo
ment, he closed the door, which was fastened
with a slip-latch, and sat down on the sofa
and amused himself reading a book which he
found on tho table. According to his subse
quent statements, he must have remained
reading about half an hour, and then uncon
sciously dropped asleep. Ho was awakened
by the sound of a woman’s sobs. He saw
Sarah kneeling on the rug before the fire
place, her face buried in her hands aud weep
ing bitterly. She appeared wholly unaware
of his presence and absorbed in some great
sorrow. He watched her for a few moments

silently, and then getting up he approached
her and laid his hand upon her shoulder, say
ing:
Why, Sarah, what is the matter ?’
She looked round at him with a convulsive
start, and at first did not appear to recognize
him. Her hair was dishevelled and her face
and eyes swollen with crying. She at length
said:
“What are you doing here ? Leave me, for
God’s sake leave me, Henry.”
The young man states that he endeavored
to persuade her to tell him what troubled her,
but that she seemed bewildered, and persisted
in passionate entreaties that he should leave
the room. Her agitation increased, and final
ly, fearing the sound of her voice would at
tract attention, he went away.
The following evening, Sunday, feeling cu
riously interested in the state of the unhappy
girl, he again went to her room. He found
the door locked and could gain no response to
his knocks. On Monday evening he went to
the same place. As he stood at the door he
heard the sound of a woman’s voice sobbing,
and he recognized it to bo Sarah’s. He
knocked, and after waiting some time, she
finally admitted him. He states that he
found her the picture of misery. Her face
deadly pale, her eyes bloodshot with tears,
and her movements indicated extreme weak
ness. The following is his report of the con
versation that took place: ^ , ■
“I heard you at the door last night,” said
the girl when I had entered. “But I could
not let you in. Ido not want you to stay
now.”
“I only oame, Sarah, to see if I could be of
any service to you, as I thought you were
sick, or in great trouble.”
“You are good and kind, my dear hoy,”
she answered. “I thought nobody in- the
world cared for me. But I am past all help.
I am dying, Henry.”
“Dying, Sarah? what on earth do you
mean?” I asked. '*
“I am dying,” sho repeated, shaking her
head pitifully from side to side, and leaning
back on the sofa in a helpless way as if with
out strength.
“You are only sick, Sarah,” I said, trying
to comfort her. “I will get a doctor and you
will he all right in a few days.” , j
“Its of no use, Henry; nothing can save
me; I’ve been called; I’ve been called, and I
must go. My strength is ebbing away fast
and by this day week I will be dead. I’m not
sorry,” sho continued slowly as if talking to
herself; my life has been a bitter, hitter strugt
gle, and I want rest. But, oh God! ” she
cried, starting to her feet and walking up and
down the room, ringing her hands, "why
shonld ho be the one to call me ? He ruined

the amount falling due before 1st July was not curse him in hell forever.” She hissed those
more than six or seven thousand dollars, as
tho Governor had informed him, but it was well
enough to make provision for it, and he there
fore offered the resolution, which gave Gover
nor Bullock plenary power to preserve the pub
lic credit until the 1st July, and in point of fact
to do what he pleased with the property of the
State under the general instruction to “pre
serve the public credit"
When this resolution was brought forward,
and I saw Senators Candler and Burns jump
upon it, I was surprised. I thought them too
suspicious. But daring the debate it leaked out
that after an examination in the Treasurer’s
office, so far from only six or seven thousand
dollars being due and to be provided for by the
1st of July next, the amount of bonds alone then
due would be over $100,000, and the interest
and bonds together, to be paid this year,
amount to between five and six hundred thou
sand. ;
Harris’ resolution was finally voted down and
a substitute by Senator Speer adopted, whioh
instructs the Governor to preserve the publio
credit as direoted by the Code. After this action
by the Senate, I am informed that Harris said,
in effect, to one of his Radical colleagues who
voted against him, “You bothered us by your
course. You knew not what yon did."
The people cannot be too watchful and vigi
lant, when this Legislature is called together

Steel vs. Iron Rails.
From the report of the Superintendent of the
Georgia railroad, we extract the following with
reference to the comparative merits of iron and
steel rails:
The railroad mind of this country is. being
greatly interested and exercised, just now, upon
the question of substituting steel tor iron rails,
aud many of tbe leading lines of railway in the
oast and west have adopted the use of the steel
rail entirely. Various estimates have been
made, and many speculations engaged in to
determine how long a steel rail will wear nnd bo
safe and useful. The time indicated by these
tests and experiments are almost fabulous. I
had, myself, lately the opportunity of examin
ing a section of steel rail which had been in use
on the Erie Railroad, in New York, for twelve
month’, on an eighty-five foot grade, and over
which three million tons had passed, showing
even wear of only one thirty-second part of an
inch.
The relative wear by the tonnage of yonr
road, as at present, would have shown less than
one nineteenth part of an inch, probably, for
the same length of time.
The relative cost at this time of steel and iron
rails delivered, is about one third more for the

last words through her teeth with terrible
emphasis and sank on the sofa panting and
exhausted.
■ “I tried to sooth her but she seemed delir
ious, and while her great brown eyes glared
with a horrible light, she continued to rave
wildly of someunknownman who had wronged
her, and who was now causing her death.
“I left her for a short time and procured
two of my medical friends and returned to the
room.”
The remainder of the particulars connected
with the girl’s death are gathered from the
physicians who attended her. They stated
that they found tho patient in a state of ex
treme lassitude on their arrival. A period of
strong cerebral excitement had been followed
by a reaction of weakness. She was collected
and tranquil and readily answered all ques
tions asked her. She seemed possessed with
the idea that her death was approaching, and
it was evident that she considered she had a
supernatural intimation of the fact. She had
been called, she frequently said, and knew she
mustgo. “Wecould detect no specific ailment
and treated her as we considered best to allay
nervous and mental excitement, and to sup
port the physical strength. On Monday and
Thursday she seemed better, but on Friday,
alarming and most singular symptoms were
developed.”
It appears that on this evening, when the
two doctors visited Sarah together, they found
the young man, Henry, in the room. As they
approached tho bed they observed a change
had occurred on the patient. Her eyes shone
with extraordinary brilliancy, and her cheeks
were flushed with a crimson color. Other
wise, however, she appeared calm and self-
controlled.
‘‘Tell them, Henry, what I told you,” she
said to the young man. He hesitated, and
finally she continued—
“Thi3 poor boy, dootors, won’t believe me
when I tell him I shall die to-night at twelve
o’clock.”
Heury was weeping, and she said to him—
“Were you fond of me really? fond of the
wretched girl of the town ? Oh I Henry, God
will bless you for your kindness and love to

She continued to talk rationally and affec
tionately to her young friend until about ten
o'clock, when she dosed her eyes and appeared
to sleep. The physicians had become deeply
interested in the case, and volunteered to re
main until after midnight. They state that
