Editorial t'orrespomlcnce. Bainbbioge, March 3, 1859. The stage road from Albany to this place, a distance of sixty miles, is over a level piney woods country with little to vary the monotony of the scenery save an occasional lake, or lime sink. Some of these are large sheets of water, and others mere dirty pools. Some have strems passing through them, commu nicating with the river. One of these, near this place, is one hundred feet in depth, and nearly dry, and lined with slaty limestone, and contains marine shells and other organic remains. In its vicinity Dr. Cotting, who made a geological survey of this portion of the State, found tusks and bones of the Zeulodan. From Albany to Newton, : twenty-one miles, the country is “open- * ed” or settled, and the lands are con- ’ sidered as a fair specimen of the Cne 1 cotton lands of South-western Georgia. The soil appears to be free and must Wear out sooner than the red lands of Middle Georgia, yet improved planta tions are valued at SlO to S2O per acre, and they are planted in cotton from 1 year to year. Unless some means of ' keeping up the lands, by manuring, or ; rotation of erbps is adopted, twenty ' years will find this fine heritage ruined by the merciless race of laud murderers who have overrun Middle Georgia (the very garden spot of the whole South) and are now pushing their incursions in this direction. Below Newton the country is not opened, ana much of the land has not been regarded as desirable as that in Dougherty. Indeed the land is “spotted," some portions of a tract being very good, and some very poor, •where an unpracticed eye would see very little difference. Much of the land, for forty miles above here, may be bought for from $1 to $2, and up to $•5 per acre. Here and there new and tidy farm houses greet the eye, evinc ing the advent of a good class of set tlers ; and indeed this whole region is being settled by a very intelligent and superior population. Occasionally the rude cabin of the squatter may be seen, but be is fast giving place to the sub st .ntial farmer, with his neat white farmhouse, and tasteful grounds, and a row of comfortable houses for the ne groes a little back-ground. The land is well timbered,and it is said that it will, in a few years, be valuable for that purpose. Persons have already engaged in the lumber busincse on the Flint river, but from a lack of mills, and the expense of ro-shipment, dealers have not been able to compete with those nearer the coast. The turpentine business, commenced here some time since, has been principally abandoned, from the expense of transportation to market. Boats run to Apolachicola semi-week ly, and do a heavy business. An effort is on foot to establish a daily mail, and the growing interests of this region de mand it. The receipts of cotton bore have been about 4,000 bales the present season, and very few bales remain in planters’ hands. Bainbridge is growing rapidly, but I will devote another epistle to my obser vations here, having reached town after dark, and being unwilling to give a mere moonlight view (with very little moon) of a town which, from Us loca tion, must become a leading emporium in this section of country. A child of R. M. Douglass, of New ton, was burned to death on Saturday morning by his clothos taking fire. Rather a funny incident occurred near here to-day, causing some consternation to two New York drummers. They •were riding through one of the lakes which border the lime sinks, when an aligator caught the tire of the wheel in his teeth and came over into the bug gy. The young gentlemen jumped into the water on either side of the vehicle, leaving his aligatorship the Jehu of the concern. Not liking that mode of con veyance he very soon floundered out, and scampered off, leaving the young New Yorkers to resume their seats and make all speed back to the hotel for a change of clothing. The aligators are quite numerous in the waters of the re gion. Fish ore caught also, in great abundance. In the forests deer abound, and I hear of fine sport enjoyed by the farmers in the chase. I believe I stated that the stage line from Albany here was tri-weekly. I was misled by an old bill. Messrs. Weight & Co. now run through daily, a line of fine mail coaches, and make the trip in about twelve hours. The fare is $6. They also run a daily line via Thomasville, to Tallahassee. The fare, by either line, from Albauy to Tallahassee, is $lO. From this place to Tallahassee the line is only tri-weekly Yours, A. lion. M. J. Crawford. The Bainbridge Argus declares itsel '‘uncompromisingly and unequivocally’ in favor of the re-election of the Hon M. J, Cbawfohd from the second Con gressional District. We think that the Argus is altogether right, Mr. Ckaw foed lia6 shown himself an able, and ready defender of his section. He is well informed of the facts which sup port argument in favor of Southern Rights. He is neither afraid to state the facts, nor to make the argument, and is worth an army of those noodle headed serfs, who hesitate to uphold the right, lest they may “weaken the North ern Democracy.” Th 3 Contest In Virginia. The political Waterloo of this year is io be fought in the Old Dominion. [Both parties are well organized, their candi dates are chosen, and every thing por tends an animated contest, upon the is sue of which very important results de pend. If the Opposition 6liould be vic torious in May, their success will add confidence to that party all over the Union, and-especially throughout the South. A victory, then and there, will unite all the diverse elements and frac tions of parties in the South, upon the platform of the Virginia opposition, and when united, a formidable, if not irre sistable party will arise. The opponents of Democracy are by no means extinct, and, though disheartened by repeated defeat, the Whigs aud Americans need only a thorough organization to make a hopeful struggle. Even Geoigia, to which Democracy of late years, has claimed almost a fee simple title, might be revolutionized by a little more exer tion and activity of the opposition poli ticians and press, and the men wh6 tri umphed under the Harrison and Taylor banners, if they would buckle on their armor, might do successful battle, next October, against any candidate favoring the policy of the present administration or apologizing for its corruptions. Both parties in Virginia are oi pretend to be confident of success, and it is im possible for an outsider to conjecture wliat will be the issuo. It is evident, however, that both know that the May elections will decide the fate of parties, not only in that State, but in the South, and both will put forth their utmost ex ertions, in the canvass now opening, to secure success. « — Mrs. Virginia A. Ramsay, wife of j Wm. H. Ramsay, of Americus, on 'lues day night, gave birth to three daugh ters. The Canton Claims.— Lieutenant Ha bersham, in his last letter to the Phil adelphia Lcdga, says: I had a short conversation with Mr. Reed upon the day of his departure, during which he mentioned the fact of the American Canton claims having all been acknowl edged by the Chinese. These_ claims amount, in the aggregate, to $700,000, and are to be paid from the custom house receipts of Canton. The reader is doubtless aware of their origin. They are to recover losses sustained by American merchants of Canton, during the trou bles of the past year, iu and about that city. Would you like to see how a j claim, something similar to these (the English and French demand twenty- j two millions, in addition to our claim) I was paid by China to England some twenty years since? It was at the close j of the opium war, and England deman- I ded $25,000,000, as a return foi the outlay which it had entailed upon her. The Chinese government consented, and the money was paid, but not by the government. Five or aix rich merch ■ ants of Canton met the obligation, and then commenced, slowly but surely, to ■ ! refund themselves by a slight addition !to the cost of every pound of tea that . j subsequently left the Empire. And the I present claims will be met in the same I I way, for the great merchant “Howqua,” • j has already volunteered (report says) a 1 1 large amount toward that end. In the | United States we are accustomed to lcok j upon the Chinese as a semi-civilized 1 people, nevertheless some of their first merchants are men of vast wealth.— “Howqua,” for instance, is unquestiou r ably worth his millions, where John Ja [ cob Aston was worth his hundreds of thousands. HTFeter Jackson, Esq ,a distinguish ed citizen of Newark, N.J., died wnile travelling in a railroad car to New York, on Friday. He was occupying a seat by himself in the middle car, and when ; the conducter collected his tickets he was found dead. JffT’rof. Robert A.

Passengers and mails are now 3 regularly conveyed through both ways, ' but not freight. t Miss Margaret E. McDonald died in ’ Hardy countv, Va., on the 9th inst., be ' ing the tenth member of her family— including her parents—who have died » in the last fire months.

A Man Hung by a Corpse. -The Cinci , nati Gazette says that on Saturday night 5 last, a body snatcher, who had stolen a 1 corpse from the graveyard in the neigh borhood of that city, which he had pla- B cod in a bag, was hung while endeavor e ing to get over a high fence, the corpse o j falling on one side and the body snatch o er on the other, he having placed a . round his shoulders the cord by which the sack was shut, and the cord slipping about his neck, choking him to death. Affection of Dogs for Tiif.ir Masters. If —Dog« have been known to die from ” exocss of joy at seeing their masters af j ter a long absence. An English officer J had a large dog, which he left with his family in England, while he accompa e nied an expedition to America during v the war of the Colonies. Throughout his absence the animal appeared very g much dejected. When the officer re turned home, the dog, who happened to be lying at the door of an apartment in > to* whch his master was about to enter, i immediately recognized him, leapt up on his neck, licked his face, and iu a few minutes fell dead at his feet. A fa vorite spaniel of a lady recently died on seeing his beloved mistress after a long absence.— Anecdotes of J)ogs By Edward Jesse. I * ,' Railway Kail*—.Should They Break JI —The Hoi I hip Mill at Atlanta. Ten days, or thereabouts, ago, a large number of passengers were hurled from i an embankment on the Charleston and Hamburg Railroad, by the hrtakmu of a | rail; and that they were not all killed] was through God’s mercy almost mira culously interposed. One of the injur ed is reported to have died, since of his injuries. The question to be asked ( is—can the, breaking of a rail, on any road laid J with T iron, be justified under any cir- ] cumstances ? We do not believe it can. It is easily possible to detect the mean-i est of iron in a rail; and none but the very meanest rail of 50 pounds and up , wards, to the yard, can break under any j pressure ever exerted by a railroad train in this* country. It is simply murder on the part of all connected with any t i road whose passengers are killed by the, j breaking of a rail. Good “pot-metal” 1 would hardly break under such a pres sure, and it is simply impossible that any fair rolled iron can do so. But we are told—certified on the highest authority—that the manufac turers of railway rails at Philadelphia and elsewhere North, systematically! send South the merest trash of iron that they can lay hands upon. At the great shears with which old bars cut in to pieces for re-rolling, the good is sep arated from the pooi iron and the for mer is manufactcred into spikes kc., to j be sold at perhaps SIOO a ton; while ] the Southern Company which is having its “iron re-rolled.” gets back ot.ly so ranch of it as is very bad, intermixed; with all the trash of the establishment. This practice, we are informed, prevails to an alarming extent, and the ill-ad vised liberality of Southern Companies 1 to Philadelphia and other iron rolling establishments will, in a few years,! multiply r/rih, that break on Southern roads, so thar traveling ■ will become! more dangerous than war. | The Fioiliug Mill at Atlanta is a large, j I efficient and worthy enterprise. South ern roads should patronize it, although j it charges S3O for re-rolling, instead of s2l, the Northern price. The reason is. it gives back the iron sent to it —never stealing the good. As it makes no new rails, there is no temptation to do any thing but justice to its customers. Its; iron is pronounced excellent by the Su perintendent of the State road, and it lias re rolled satisfactorily for the Geor gia, the Macon and Western and the 1 South Western ; and, we believe, will 1 soorucommence on a thousand tons for I the Central road. It is of the highest importance that j isuch an establishment as this should be] j liberally—fully—sustained at a point] conveniently accessible to the Compa-j nies interested. Atlanta is an admira ble location. There all the processes, can and will be watched and if foul [day were attempted, it would soon be-] come known. But we believe Messrs. Blake & Scofield to be men of high; character, and above the temptation to ] roguery. i The extreme capacity of the Atlanta Mill is 30 tons a day, but practically it I turns out about 000 tons a month. At I (this rate, it has businesaoertgaged ahead I for many months, ami we cannot doubt ] that it is a permanent institution.— Mont. Mail.
