Iffore Railroad Strategy—Sale of lire Montgomery and Egranla Railroad. We find the following in the Montgomery Advertiser, of Thursday: Mohtoomeby and EutaulaBoad.—At the an nual meeting of the stockholders of the, *>bove named road, held at noon yesterday in this city, the stock owned by Enfania, Union Springs and Montgomery was represented respectively by tbc Mayors of the cities .named and other gen tlemen, whose names we have not on hand. The rest of the stock was largely represented by delegates from the country all along tlie line of the road. The chief business of the meeting was to consider And act upon tbc contraot lately entered into in New York by Col. Lewis Owen for the company, and Maseru. Opdyke A Hazel- —a «tlwr r‘ New York, the Ium ot which -were substan tially as follows: 1. The Company assigns to Messrs. Opdyke & Co., parties of the second part, all the assets and a majority of the stock of the road (abont $5T>0,000 worth) without reserve. " Messrs. Opdyke & Co. agree to furnish $680,000 .in cash, which snm ic is thought will l>a amply sufficient to pay off all outstanding liabilities and complete tlie road to Enfanla. On motion of Captain Fowler, ably seconded and supported by J. W. Ik Daniel, and one of the Directors, this contraot was unanimously ratified Although not stated in so many words in the above article, it is understood that the sale is v-irtnally to the Macon and Brunswiek Railroad '—Mr. Opdyke being one of the largest New York stockholders In that road, and Mr. Hazio- nursi its President. If we ere not mistaken, the road from Montgomery to Eulanla is well on the way to completion, there being only nine teen miles to finish. With a western connec tion via Montgomery and the North and South Boad, direct to Louisville, much of the South western Georgia provision business non done over the Western and Atlantic and Macon and Western Boads, will very possibly be diverted to the former route—provided, of coons, the Maoon and Brunswick Boad secures a connec tion from Eufanla with some point on that road. A friend at our elbow suggest? Hawkinsville, as there was a charter—with State aid—granted at the last session of the Legislature for «> road from Hawkinsville to Ectfanla. ■vrjZdtmrKjr#* Tt>£ African at his HooK--*- si tors to the Atlanta Univer-. ho instruction of ne groes! makes a very eulogistic report bn the pro- j grass of the pupils. They r.iy: At every step of the examination we werfe im pressed with the fallacy of the popular idea (wnich, in common with thousands of others, majority of the undersigned have heretofore entertained) that the members of the African race are not capable of a high grade of intelleo- toal culture. The rigid tests to which the classes in Algebra and Geometry, and in Latin and Greek'were subjected, unequivocally demon strated that under judicious training, and with persevering study, there are many members of the African raoe who can attain a high grade of intellectual culture. They proved that they can master intricate problems in mathematics, and fully comprehend the construction of difficult passages in the classics. Many of the pupils exhibited a degree of mental culture which; considering the length of time their minds have been in training, would do credit to members of any race. The chairman of this committee was ex-Gov. Brown and Messrs. W. A. Hemphill, Wn. L. Scruggs and J. I. Whittaker were among its members. We are wedded to no particular theory about Africa mis. We would not give the value of a brass button to prove to the satisfaction of mankind that the negro is at least twenty de scants nearer that Simian origin to which D“- win eventually traces the entire human t^ce. Bat this much may well be said: The Atlanta University is by no means the first attempt which has been made on this planet to indoc trinate the African in philosophy and letters. On the contrary, if we accept the Mosaic record or choose the almost illimitable chronology of the Egyptians, that experiment baa been prose cuted with more or less diligence many thou sands of years, without material remit. Under these cireams! ancon the committee Bhonld net make np their' minds in too mnch haste, upon the result of a few quarters’ school ing in the Atlanta University. We desire, in deed, ’that onr African friends should shine mentally as they do physically, when hog is plenty; but when we look aronnd for all the poets, philosophers, historians, artists, ecnlp- .. . -gr-■■ mm-nw— ~— ... - tha orincitAI busin"-** hr- -1 Card tTroin Hr.

We can furnish cheaper labor than, the white labor of Massachusetts, and yon Georgia people have shown ns that manu facturing cotton payB better than anything else. We are told that English machinery, imported duty free, costs less than one-half the price of that made in this country, and are promised that if «n can get the machinery duty free, ample capital will be loaned ns on mortgage to build and equip onr mills at a rate of interest not ex ceeding ten per coot, per annum; and this will leave ns a dividend of ten dollars os every hnn- ne Ain- f dred of capital, otmluCfi ■ Who Beats It?—A gentleman resident on College street, and whose pnblio spirit and dis position to- be np with the times in small as well as large things is wall known, sends us the first bench of Catawba grapes we have seen this season.

Wake np the postoffioe officials, else yon may as well keep your paper at home, We all want the Era—we waiehits columns with great Jnterest; bnt tben we want it daily, not in tri-weekly installments!” We commend the above to the careful atten tion of the proper authorities. There ia evi dently something rotten between tbis and Ma oon, or else at Maoon. The Maoon Telsqbaph, for instance, reaches this office upon an average of abont three times a week only. Where is the trouble? The copies of the Teleobayk and Messonoeb for Atlanta are sent to th? postoffice hero every day—of that we are certain. Why they don’t get to their proper destination is more than we can say. If a guess was in order, possibly we might stnmble on the reason.

The Borne papers say that city will take $100,- 000 worth of stock, in the- Borne and Col ambus Railroad.

The Star, of yesterday, says : A Shockinq Outrage.—On Monday last, Mr. James Moffett of Meriwether county, was as saulted by a negro man and woman, whom he had inhia employe.

We are inclined to take a very moderate view, of the matter and to conclude that if the Atlanta University succeeds in teaching those young darkies “the three B's”—the praoiioeof self- restraint, prudence, good manners and industry, they will have accomplished, on an average, the best results compatible ■» P, the conditions.

A NICE RECORD.. Ml Abont dnmnel Hnat, the Lately Ap pointed Revenne Collector for the 2d (Naeoo) District of Georgia. We dip the following from it Washington letter published- in the Baltimore Gazette, of Wednesday: Some time ago J. S. Bigby, member of Con gress from Georgia, had one Samnel Hast ap pointed Collector of the Second Georgia Bev- enne District From information subsequently received at the Revenue Bureau, it was suspect ed Hunt was not all right, end upon investiga tion it turns out that he was indicted some time ago, In Tennessee, for illicit distilling. Inquiry was made of Senator Brownlow, who replied that Hunt was his (Brownlow’s) nephew, “but,” said the Senator, “I have no confidence in him. He was, to all intents and purposes, guilty of the charges preferred against him Jn this State, and I was greatly surprised at learning-of his appointment os Collector.” The correspondent adds, that Hnnt has not yet filed his bond and will not be appointed. The question now comes np: What moved Big by to go outside of Georgia to make snoh an appointment ? Was there no material better than this in the district ? And if .-not, what fact does it illustrate ? We maintain, though, that it will be hard lines for Hunt to miss his ap pointment on such trivial grounds as those al leged. Up where he lives, the loil don't do mnch else but manufacture illicit whisky and whip Southern Methodist preachers. THE GEORGIA PRESS.

Atlanta, Jane 26, IS». BdUor Constitution: As there is some ex citement growing out of the foot of the Crand Jury of this county at the late tern of tie Su perior Court undertaking to invertigai* " - acts of Colonel Foster Blodgett, late Sup.ti-,snd- ent of the Western and Atlantio Bailr -*, and V. A. Gas kill, Esq., touching a claim! held against said railroad, I have thought it ny du ty to give the facts in the case to the prllio. The nature and amount of this claia. is cor rectly stated in an account made by Ooonel A. B. Cuiber . -n, my attorney in the case, aid pub lished by Colonel Blodgett in. his oari of the 24thinstant, amounting to $10,848 06. 1 agreed to settle the claim on the basis of the asnai loss sustained, with interest. Mr. Oulber.on and myself examined the amonnt of ootton destroy ed, and the damages otherwise sustained, and found that they amounted to the aboVJ amount, viz: $10,848,06, including interest. r«*» ihii am rant I agreed to take Foster Bloigett’s Su perintendent note at SO days for $7J00 which was dated, I think, on the 7th of November, 1870, and was pe-i tome by Mr. 3-askiu in his check on J. H. James, on ths r.h of Jan uary last. This note for $7,000 is fell the note I ever saw or heard of until I was tmunnoned to the grand jury room to testify in the case; then, instead of *the $7,000 nste, I*ar for $15,548 06 signed by Foster Blodgatt, Superin tendent, payable to me or bearer. This note seems to be found on an account, made cat thus: *. For damages for loss of Cotton and for delays and injuries $10,848 06 On oecauut of foiling to deliver. 4,700 00 The last item of this account I deny having any hand in adding, and I am satisfied Mr. Culberson is equally clear of it As regards Mr. Gaakill be.riT my attorney, I never considered him as sue!;, 'if so, why the necessity of giving him u special power to sign my name to a receipt to obtain a warrant found 'd on a note held by me on Foster Blodgett, Superintendent, given me in settlement of my claim against the Wes tern and Atlantio Bailroad. In regard to my promising Mr. Gaskili ail he could get ont of the claim over $7,000,1 may or may not have done so. My memory in that particular does not serve me; bnt if I did, why did not Mr. Gaskili inform me whathe d>d goi ? Instead of doing so, be has kept me entirely in ignorance. So far as my knowledge went 1 nevor knew ho had received one oent above the $7,000 he paid me on ths 5th of January last.
