Ion 'of inslienabiUiy for a certain po- rl Th6 experiment of sorting a of Indian children, of both sexes. to tta Huqp* ton Nirmil and Agiicnltura! Inttitn.e, in Virginia, to receive an elementary English edneation acd practlasl iDslrnotton in farm- ine and other uaefal industries bag led to results eo promising, that it was thought ex pedient to turn over the cav Jiy buracks at Carlisle In Pennsylvania, to the Inteno. De partment for the establishment of an Ltdian school on ft larger scale. This sshool has now one hundrod and:fifty-eight pnpLa, asleciefl from variens tribes, and is in foil op : ration. Arrangements are also made for the edneation or a number of Indian bate and girle belonging to tnbea mi the Pacific slope, in a similar manner, at Forest Grove, in Oregon. These institutions wtli oom- mend themselves to the liberality of Oon- cress, and to the philanthropic munificence of the Amirioan people List spring, information wis rocsivecl of the crrganizi'.ion or an extensive movement In tha western States, the object of which was the occupation by unauthorized persons of oortaln lands in the Indian Territory cod ed by the Oherokoes to the Government for the purpose of settlement by other Indian tribes. On the 29th of April, I irtued a proclama tion warning all persons against participation m end* *n attempt, and, by the co-operation of a milita*y force, ih« invasion was prompt ly cheeked It is my purpose to prowet the rights of the Indian Inhabitants of that Ter ritory to tho fall extent of the Executive power. Bat it would be unwise to ignore the fact that a Territory S3 largo and so fer tile with a population so eperee and with eo crest a wealth of unused resources, will be found more exposed to the repetilion of such attempts as happened this year, when the surrounding 8tatea are more densely settled, and the westward movemont of our popula tion looks still more eagerly for fresh lands to occupy. Under tuch circumstances the difficulty of maintaining the Indian Territo ry in its prceont state will greatly increase, and the Indian tribes inhabiting it would do well to prepare for such a contingency. , therefore, faily approve or tho advice giv en to them b7 the Secretary or tho Interror on a recent occasion, to divide amongithem- seives in severalty, as large a qaantity of their lands as they can cultivate, to acquire Individual title in fee, instead of their pres ent tribal ownership iu common, and to con sider in what manner the balance of their lands may be deposed of by the Government for their benefit By adopting «uch a policy they would more certaniy secure for them selves the value of their possessions, and at the same time promote their progress n olTiliZttfon and prosperity, than by endeav oring to perpetuate the present etate of things in the Territory. The question whether a change in thecon- trol of me Indian servioe should be made, was In the Forty-fifth Congress referred to a joint eommities of both Hons6s for trqnirv and report. In my last annnal message I expressed the hope that the decision of that question, then in prjepect. “would arrest farther agitation of this subject, such agita tion being apt to produce a disturbing sfifeot neon tho service as well as the Indians themselves” 8Ince then, the committee having reported, the question has been deci ded In the negative by a vote in the House Of Representatives. For the reasons here stated, and in view of the fact that farther uncertainty on this point Will be calculated to obstruct other mnch need ed legislation, to wesken the disc pline of the service, and to unsettle salutary measures now • in progress for the government and improve ment of tbe Indians, I respectfully recommend that tbe decision arrived at by Congress at its last session be permitted to stand. The efforts made by tho department of the interior to arrest the depredations on thetim her lands of the United States bare been con tinued. and bare met with considcrab'e success. A large number of cases of trespass have oren prosecuted in the courts cf the United States; others have been settle*, the trespassers offer, mg to make payment to tbe government fer tbe value of tho timber taken by them. The pro ceeds of there prosecutions and settlements turned into the treasury,far exceed in amount the sums appropriatbd by Congress for this pnr pose. A more important result, however, con sists in the fact that the destruction of onr pub lic forests by depredation, although each cases ■till occur, has been greatly reduced in extint, and it is probable that if the present policy is vigorously pursued and sufficient provision to that end is made by Congress, such trespasses, at least those on a large scale, can be entirely suppressed, except in the Territories where tim ber for the daily requirements of the popula tion cannot, under the present state of the law, be otherwiss obtained. I therefore earnestly in ▼ite the attention of Congress to the recom. »‘Wfr , naB!fK , -}A)fii ,, t&'I>il5ncIani5 wttSoSC conveying tbe fee, where such lands are princi pally nimble for the timber thereon, such sales to be s» regulated ns to conform to domes tic wants and bminejs requirements, while at the same time guarding against a sweeping de struction of the forests. The enactment of such a taw appears to become a more pressing necei aity every day. My recommendations fn former menaces are renewed in favor of enlarging the facilities of tbe Department of Agriculture. Agriculture is tbe leading interest and the permanent in dustry of our .people. It is to the abundance of agricultural proauction, as compared with our home consnmption, and the largely increased and highly profitable market abroad which we have enjoyed in recent years, that we ore mainly indebted for our present prosperity as a people. We mast look for its continued ma'ntenanci to the tame substantial resource. There is no branch of industry in Which labor. dheofed by scientific knowledge, yields such increased pro duction in comparison with unskilled labor, and no branch of the public service to which the en- coaiagem-nt of appropriations can be more ap propriately extended. The omission to render *uch aid is not a wise economy; but, on the con trery. ucdoubtedly results in losses of immi n-c sums annually that might be saved through well directed efforts by the Government to pro- •note this vital interest. Tha results already accomplished with tho very limited meins heretofore placed at the command of the Department o! Agriculture is an earnest of whit may be expected with in crested appropriations for tbe several purposei indicated in the report:of the Commissioner, v Itb a view to ptaeing the Department upon a footing which will cmblo it to prosecute more effectively the objects tor which itlsestab ■had. Appropriations are needed for a more com<- p'ete laboratory, for tho establishment of a vete rinary division, and a division of forestry, and lor an increase of force. The requirements for these and other pur- poser, indicated in tbe report of the Commis sioner under the bead of the immediate necessi ties of the Department, will not involve any ex penditure of money that the country cannot with propriety now unaertakein tho interests of agri culture, It is gratifying to Ieirn from the Bureiu of Education the extent to which educational prlv. neger throughoutthe United States hare been advanced during tho year. No more fundamen tal rospon«ib.lily rests upon Congress thin that of dovutng appropriate measures of financial aid t education, supplemental tolocal action in tbe Stales ard Territories and in the District of Co- /rimbia, Tho wise forethought of tbe founders of our Government has not only furnished the basis fer ft j su (.port of the common school sys tems ol the sewer States, bnt laid I ho fouuda tions tor the maintenance of their universities and colleges of agriculture and the mechanic arts. Measures iu accordance with this tradi tional policy for the further benefit of all these interests, and the ctlersioR of the same advan tages to every portion ot the country, it is hoped; Will recolveyourfaroroblo consideration. To preserve and perpetuate the National lite rature should bo among the foremost cares of fbe National legislature. The library gathered at the capitol still rema ns unorovidei with any suitable iccommoilations for its rapidly leercas. ing stores.

Tho location of such a public building, wb'ch should provide for the pressing necessities of the present, and for the Tast increase of the Nation’s books in the future, is a matter which addresses itself to the discretion of CoagreiS. It is earnestly recom mended as a measure which should unite all su!Trn;cs, and wbch should no longer be de lays l. The Joint Commission created bv the act of Onsress of Au.ost 2, 1576, for tbe purpose of supervising and directing the completion of tbe Washington National Monument, of wbich Com mission the President i< a iromber, has given careful attention to this subject, and already the strengthen in; of tbe foundation has si far progressed as to insure the entire success of this partef the work. A massive layer of masonry has been introduced below the origiral founda tion, widening the base, increasing tbs stability of the structures and rendering it noisibleto carry the shaft to completion. It is earnestly recommend.d that such further appropriations be made for the oominued prosecution of the work as may be noeetsary for tbe completion of this National Mucument at an early day. In former messages. Impressed with tho im portance of the subject, I have tak-n occasion to commend to Congress ths asoption of a generous policy to sards ths District of Columbia. The report of theCommi-sionersof tho District, here' with transmuted, contain* sunreat.ona a d rec ommendations, to alt *f wfcsfMJ I as-neatly invite your careful attention. I ask jour early ard favorable conaf-'aratisn of the views wbi b they express as to the urgeat need of legislation for the reclamation of the marshes of the Potomac and its eastern branch, within the limits cf the city, and for tbe repair of the streets of the Cap ital, heretofore laid with wooden blocks, snd now by decay rendered almost impassible, and a source of Imminent danger to the health of its Citium. The means at the disposal of the Com- missioners are wholly ina-equate for the ac complishment of these lmpo.tsrt works, and should be supplemented by timely appropria tions from the federal treasury. The filling of the flats io front of the city will add to the adja-eril lands and paiks now owned by the United States, a large and valuable do main, sufficient, it is Vhoagh*, to reimbune its entire cost, and will also, as an incidental resnlt, secure the permssu at improvement of the river for tho purposes e< nartaati.n. The Uonstitutiou havieg-invested Congress with supreme and. sxeluiive jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, its citizens must of neoessity look to Congress alone lor all noadfol legislation affecting tneir interests; a-id as tiie territ.ry of this District is the common property of the people of ths United States, who eqoa'fy with its resident wtit ms, are ntrrestsd in t s e prosperity ol their Capita',I«■»•**■**•* vou will bo amply sustained by tbe general voice of tho countiy in any measures yon msy •ttMarBTfc-*. consideration of Congress to the wants of the public schools of this' Distric", 65 exhibited in the report of the Commissioner,-.

ThakK8GIVINo. — Straws show which way the wind blows. The progress towards national and imperial ideas could not be perhaps more strongly illustrated than by tho following extraol from tho “Memories” of John Qainoy Aiams, wtxasain he reports himself as refusing to cjaatenxnoe the issue or a proclamation appointing a day of thanks giving oven for tho Diatriot of Columbia. How tho old gentloman and his cabinet would have been 6tarilsd by tho proposi tion to make such an appo-ntment for the whole territory of the United States. 1825— November IB.—Dr. Laurie, min ister oE tho Presbyterian ohurch, came and said there would be this morning a meeting of clergymen who proposed to send a committee to me tc request the appointment of a day of thanksgiving and prayer in this district (on the 24 :h of this month). He inquired if I should have any objection to making the ap pointment. I said none myself, hut I would consult the members of the administration, and answer him to mor row. 16th—Mr. Laurie’s proposition for the appointment of a day of thanksgiving acd prayer within the districts Ail the members of tbe administration present were against it; objected to its novelty— as liable to imputations of political pur poses, of introducing New England man ners, of naing high authority for an in ferior measure. I aoqniesoed in these opinions. The Southern Gbast Bjoai.—The Philadelphia Inquirer, commenting upon the late Atlanta Lochrane-Glenn-Bnrke- Granfc movement, says: The m03t notioeable thing about it is that, intangible as it appears to be, it has eSsoted a most marked cooling off of the Northern 8talwarte’ boom. The gen tlemen who were crying oat so vigorously and strenuously for Grant “as a strong man,” with a strong iron heel for South ern use, ere ominously silent at this time, as if General Grant were not precisely tbe man they supposed him to be. Part of this is undoubtedly owing to his Chi cago speech, in which, With great empha sis, he deprecated both sectionalism and partisanism. The stalwarts may rightly reason that if General Grant is going to be neither a socticnilist nor a partisan, he can be of no use to them, or if tbe South finds in him a mac after its own heart, he cannot be the man they thonght him to be. Verily* tho Presidential oatlonk is enough at present to puzzle tbs sharpest even of tbe Inquirer’s own Philadelphia lawyers. Between hard money and soft money, the blcody shirt and Southern Gr in tram, Bayard and Tilden, Hayes and anti-Hayes, Damooratio oolwifsatlcn n ! zation of negro voters in Kansas and other States, Independent breaks on both eides and a score of othor complica tions, the political chaldron boils furious ly, and no one knows who, or what will came to the surface. Everything is in doubt. All that the faithful, loyal D- m ocrat can do, however, is to stand fast, and keep on guard with burnished weap ons, ogainst any combination that seekB to destroy the integrity of the grand or* ganization of whiob he is a member. It is the only salvation of tbe conntry frem Radicalism, and perhaps an Empire, Ahxicuj fob Extension.—A promi nent citizen of Jasper oounty informed us yesterday that the people on the lice of tbe projected extension of the Macon and Brunswick railroad via Monticello and Covington to Atlanta, were looking forward with breathless interest to the day advertised for the lease. We sre not'surprised at this, as the inhabitants of the populous and opulent counties which will b8 permeated by the new read have long languished for laok of railway facilities, and the comple’ion of the ex tension to Covington will open up a n >w era of prosperity to them. Their lands must then advance rapidly io value, immigrants will be attracted to that desirable portion of the State, and choice of markets be afforded to all, with out the present tedious wagon tr&nspor tation to which they are subjected. In any and every event, we th<nk tho lease and extension may be counted on as oertain, though who the successful bidders will be ie not so dear. It is ve _ sure, however, that Mr. Stanton’s claim will amonnt to nothiog, as he cannot sue tho State, and the Governor has deoided the case against that gentleman and those ho represents. He must take his ohar 033 once more in the auction ring. Bat may we not hope that Macon, through her enterprising citizens, ns sag gested yesterday, may yet come to the front and bear away the prize. It would redsund to ber material property through all time to come. “Toombs ana the Troth. This ie tbe beading of a letter in (h Pailadelphia Press of a late date, signed 'A Citizen of Georgia,” which has the ear marks of Amos T. Akerman, E:q. The writer begins by 6tyling ‘‘H. W. GV recent letter to tho Herald as at least “picturesque,” which is certainly a poor compliment to one who professes to be a retailer of news and stubborn facts only, Ho then goes on to say: . Tbe peepie of tbo North have not a >roper conception of tbe character of tobsrt Toombs. He is a man of mo3t brilliant intellect;! man ot noble impuisi a, generous to a fault; a man frank aud out. ssoken in all things, concealing nothing. He is the friend of the weak and unpro* tected, and will succor, befriend and de fend a “Yankee” (is ail Northern men are callod in Georgia) as quiokly as ho will one “native and to tho manner born.” do not deEire to be understood ai ap proving all tbe publio utterances of Gen. fosmbs, as I do not; neither am I a Democrat; bnt I speak of bis character and influence in Georgia, as I judge thorn from my acquaintance with him and cb- eervance of bis coarse since tbe war. The writer continues to magnify Toomb3 and* at the sxms time, be l.ttle and sneer at the representatives of Gsorgia in the recent Constitutional Con. vention. He says: As to Toomb’s influenoo in that Con - stitutional Convxu'ion Grady has gotten the cart before the horse. The facts in tbe oase are: Toombs had rather up hill work in the oonvention, having to make long spseohes and urgent appeals in order to get his measures seriously considered until tbe appropriation for the expenses and per diem of the delegates became exhausted, and the whole thing wee about to ooliapsa for the want of 'sinews.” Then Toombs took in tbe situation aud the oonvention at the same time. He famished $20,000 with which to pay the per diem of tbe delegates, knowing it was a safe investment at seven percent,and from that time he was, not merely one of the leading members, be was the master of the convention; and light royallv did the old man reign over his subservient Enbjects. Where hither to he had been obliged to explain and plead, now he wonld merely arise and say, “Ithink this measure is a good one,” and presto! it was adopted; or *T like not that,” and it was abandoned, the author apologizing for having introduced it. No man represents the true sentiments of the masses of the Southern people to day better than Robert Toomi s, of Geor gia. When heepeaksin publio it is to an immense throng, and when he de livers one of his defiant disunion speeches the yells of applause that arise are terrific. The newspapers and politi cal bummers try to explain away Toombs and his sulphuric talk, that the Northern heart may be frc-zin and the Northern mind deceived, to the end that a Damo oratio President may be eleoted, and then .Toombs would be a conservative Union ist in comparison with them. . It ia difficult to oonceive of huger and more unmitigated falsehoods than are embraced in the foregoing paragraphs in the letter of this so-called “Georgian." Of coarse, snoh a mind as Gen. Toombs poeaeEBes oarried great weighi in the Oonvention, the more especially as many of the most conservative features of tbe new constitution owe their paternity to him. Bat to say that ha hought up that eminent body with a paltry advance of twenty thousand dollars to cover their pay roll, is an insult of the deepest dye to the patriotism and intelligence of Georgia. The scribbler in the “Press,” when he declares that “no man represents the trna sentiments of the masses of the Southern people to-day better than Robert Toombs, of Georgia,” shows conclusively that he, himself, is no true Georgian, bnt an alien, probably, and one who is Ignorant of the animus of our people. The genius and past services ot the General, chal lenge the admiration of all who know him; but bis vagaries and extravaganzas provoke a smile only. Of all the promi* nent politicians ot tbe Commonwealth, not one has less influence in shaping pub lic opinion, than ex-Senator Toombs. And why? For tbe simple reason that he has never accepted the situation, does not admit that he is a citizen of the United States, and spits upon that Union whiob the whole Uoatb, yielding to the arbitrament ot arms,has sworn to uphold and support. The evident objsotot the Georgia Rad ical correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,Is to sow tbe seeds of discord among our people. Bat he will find himself miserably mistaken. Georgia, next fall, will be more solid than ever for right acd the constitation of oar fathers. Gb*nt and Lochbank.—la a very in tereating letter by Mr. Sidney Herbert (“Chatham”) in the Savannah Morning JVeter, from Atlanta, he says: I have discovered why it i3 that Grant and Lochrane are coupled for the next presidential ticket. Grant had a copy of the Barliogton BawJceye printed on white satin daring his recent visit there, and Lochrane had his literary address at tbe Uaiversity of Georgia printed on white satin to frame and hang up in bis parlor. Of oourso, this kind of thing is significant and all persons who have Imperial aspira tions or sympathies will endorse Grant and Lochrane, whose tioketa will be print ed^on white satin. letter I hope to be able to giraT readers a few mtt>rp°i;- a regard to mu great southern Grant “boom and the wonderful Clement attachment “boom,” both ot whioh were incubated in this city, (at so mnoh per line, the Co lumbos papers bint, and are still being kept up with a zeal and persistency born of something stronger than mere unselfish patriotism,) and about wbich the North ern press is making some very ridiculous predictions. Both of these “boome” have been sadly misrepresented, and tbe real facte lost sight of in a mass of senEational perscnsl laudation and “ Cheap John ' puffing. The Augusta Election. Special to the Telegraph and Messenger 1 Augusta, Ga., Deoember 3.—Tho eleo tion here to-day closed one of tbe moat exoiting campaigns ever known in th city, and resulted ia tbe election of Rsbt. H. May over Charles Estes by a majority of 674 votes. Tbe 6iza of the majority was a surprise to many, M the contest was expected be mnch closer. The people’s tlok et was elected entire. The early hour at whiob the polls dos ed, two p. m., enabled .the managers arrive at theresnlts speedily. Feeling ran high, and tbe contest was warm and spirited. L. Emancipation in Chba.—The number of slaves in Cubs since 1870 baa decreased by 136.000. And yet the negroes are not only impatient^ but In aotual revolt at this time besause emancipation Is not in stantaueously made universal. Snob movement is on foot in the Spanish Cortes with a probability of success despite tbe remonstrances of many Cuban planters. The population of Cuba, already mixed and hibred without parallel, will be in condition little short of ohaos when the alaves are all freed. How much better to oontinae the present system of gradaa emancipation which, at the same time, provides for the mil tenance and educa tion of the yonng, while all the newly born are free, besides the large nntnbsr whose service expires annually by limita tion. We fear there will never be any stable government for poor Cabs. The Cinderella Entertainment. The preparations for this entertain ment are progressing finely, and every thing will be in readiness for its presen tation Friday evening. The children do their parts splendid ly, although many of them are under seven years of age. They seem perfect ly at esse on the stage, and play well the parts of kings and queens, princes and princesses. We can safely promise all who attend delightfal evening.

A. North Carolina Exodus. Newspaper quidnuncs have been fall oE talk lately about a grand eoheme of tbe Bepublioans to carry the State of In diana next year by exporting a few ne gro voters from North Carolina to the Hoosier State. A press telegram of the 2i instant from Petersburg, printed yes terday, reads as follows: Fktxbsbusg, Ya., December 2.—-Throe hundred cards of wood near Stony creek station, on the Petersbnrg and Weldon road, were burned this morning. The fire also destroyed the railroad for a con siderable distance, and stopped the pas sage of trains. The northern bound mail train from tbe Ssutb, with two Turn dred colored emigrants from different sections of North Carolina, en route for Indiana, dae here at 3:30 p. m„ has not arrived. Telegraphio communication with Southern points is cut off. The damage will be repaired as aoon as pcs- aible. * , _ This, it seems probable, was the first shipment in pursuance ot the sohemo. The first train, containing two hundred of the unfortunate viotims of party chi cane and oorruption, was detained by a railway break; and well wonld it be for thorn if they oonld ba stopped altogether Nothing oonld well be more damaging to the negroes than to lend themselves to any piece of party villlsny, by whomso ever projected, xne men who use them as tools will be sure to throw them aside when the dirty work is done, while the whites against whom they are nsed will be sure to remember tho disservice. Such an introduction into ft State offers the worst possible augury for the future. It givea abundant promise of “hard timeB and worse a coming.” With one-half of tbe voter's ashamed of them as the ignorant tools of a dirty fraud of whiob they are the disgraced authors, and the other half abhorring them aa tho oogged dice in a rasoally game to destroy responsible government and defraud them of their political rights, few darkies ever placed themselves in a more an promising condition. Of the probable effect of the movement on the party fortunes of its projectors, there will be different opinions. Red hot partisans acting on the motto that “all is fair in politios, will predicate entire suo- cess. Surely a closely balanoed State, like Indians, can and mast be revolu tionized by adding ten thousand negro votes to the Republican column. This assumption would be justified if the Republican column was all made op of tbe kind of partisans who projected the scheme. But not so. Thousands of them are honorable and conscientious men, with comparatively feeble or subor dinate partisan attachments. Every one of these who bolts at a manifestly inde feasible and unpatriotio trick like this one will probably express tbeir indigna tion at the palls, and therefore, possibly; the Radicals may, by this reversal, lose two white votes for every imported ne gro. Moreover, the sohemo will aronse the warmest indignation of all who do not ordinarily vote the Radical ticket, and eo bring out a much fuller opposition vote. Many a man will become an active canvasser for the Democrats, whose per sonal icflaence would otherwise net have been felt. It ia, in fact, a very dangerous la ;*'ancf it stiouW fel^re- membered that in euoh a transaction as this, the benefit, at beat, can be only local, while the damage, whatever it may bs, will be as wide as tho conntry itself. The whole Republic, not oontrolleJ by the same unscrupulous partisanship which planned tho ECbeme, will cry shame, and every man knows it to be a shame, whether bo admits the fact or not. As eerrupt as politics are said to be* we behove no party oan afford to be guilty of a clear and nnqaeationable pub lic wrong. Tbe Hancock County Affair, On Tuesday, in tho United States Gourt in Savannah, the oases against Deputy United States Marshal B, Lumaden, aud ^Messrs. James Lsuey and James Moore, deputies of Mr. Lumsden were tried andavardict of not guilty ren dersd by the jnry, without leaving their box. Io will be remembered that tbe party went as a posse after tbe Ennis Brothers, of Hanoock county, who were strongly suspected of illicit distilling, on the 11th of September, 1878, were fired on and Mr. Jaok Kimbrew killed and Mr. Laney severely wounded. Trne bills were subsequently found against Bepn- ty Marshal Lumsden and his entire parly In Henseok county. By the Revised Statutes the cases were transferred to the United States Court. These oases were called on Monday but were post poned until Tuesday, so that the Attor« ney-General of the State, R. N. Ely, c:uld be heard from. On Tuesday n>ono appeared for the State, tho charges were read to the jury, and after a short state ment of the oases, a verdict of not guilty rendered in each case. The defendants were represented by Golonel Farrow, Distriot Attorney and bis Assistant, S. A. Darnell, Esq. - The party returned to Maoon yesterday morning. The acquittal was looked upon as a mattax of eoarso, and the State offi cere sssmed to realize the weakness of tho case, as no response was made even to eubpeesas by witnesses for the prosecu tion. The deputies were compelled, However, to bear their own expenses to Savannah and back, and are strongly of the opinion that the Government, in whose employ they were at the time of tbo osourrence, for which they have been tried should defr y them. W»k on tbs ocmnlcee. Tbe new steam barge, recently built for the Osmulgee river, has been com pleted, snd loft HiwkinsviUeon Saturday afternoon for the mouth of the river, ar riving at Lumber City on Tuesday morn ing. She is a well built boat, strong and seiviceable, and will do good work in cleaning oat the obstructions, whioh have for so many years interrupted the navigation on one of the moat important streams in our seotion. The boat is furnished with a compact and well built engine whioh answers the donble purpose of operating the ma chinery necessary for the work for whiob she was built, and also of sufficient power to propel tbe boat. This is a decided improvement upon the barges previously used for this purpose and will effoot an important saving of expense. The work of oleaning out the river is one of a great importance, not only to our oi*y, but especially to the whole country adjacent to the river from hero to the seaboard, and we hope oar ener getic immediate Representative in Con gress will see that tbe neceeeary appro- pri&tions are made. Colonel Blonnt is well posted opviu cuts suojeoc, uuS io fully alive to the interests of his oonstit- asnts, and we feel confident will use ev ery proper effort to this end. He has already done much to advanoe the mate rial interests Georgia. The first woik for the new boat will be to remove tbe obstructions wbich interrupt the passage of timber rafts during periods of low water, and we learn that Captain Locke* who ia in local obarge, has been especi ally inslrnoied upon this point by his su perior offioer. Mr. Looke is a skillful engineer* and will no doubt do his work well. The timber trade is one of tbe most important industries to the section of the State along tbe river, and we hope soon to see an uninterrupted passage from the upper river to Darien. The ap- propriations, however, are email, and much work ia needed, and we must have patience. It will be done in time. Homicide in Dublin. The news of the death of Mr. Adrian Corbett, a son ot Colonel E. C. Corbett, of this city, reached Macon yesterday morning, and soon spread throughout the oity. The killing oocurred in Dublin, Laurens oounty, on Taesday afternoon It seems that in the tosm there had been a diffioulty between the Marshal and two brothers, in whioh the Marshal was d oomfitted. Later in tho day Mr. C- rbett and Mr. Freeman Meore met and a diffi cully ensued, whioh resulted fatally for the former. The accounts which have reached differ widely in certain particulars’: They agree however, partially, that the two men met in a oertain business house Dublin, and that Moore seemed (o be tbe aggressor. A quairel ensued, anl Mr. Corbett drew bis pistol. One version of the affair is that Mr. Corbett, at the request of Moore, put aside his pistol, and the two men bad a hand to hand struggle, whioh Moore got the best his antagonist, and throwing bim upon the floor shot him through the heart, killing him instantly. mi__ -.1—Htates that COrbett struck Moore over the fieaa «uu uu pis tol and that it was then that be shot bim, The affair is ceitainly very unfortu nate.

During their Btay in the city partionlar atten tion will be paid to tho streets in the residence part of tho city, especially tbe cross streets in the seoond, third and fourth wards. These streets are gener- ly in poor ondition, not having been worked for several years. This is a good determination on the part of those in control of tbe gang. Breakdowns on the Avenue. Yesterday on Cotton Avenue two wag ons broke down in consequence of run ning against the rails of the street rail road. At a number of points they ere several inches above the surfaoe of the street, and frequently annoy the owpars of vehicles.
