Tlie different editions of The Sun during
the next year will be the same as during the
year that lias just passed. The daily edition
will on week days be a sheet of four pages,
and on .Sundays a shoot of Night pages, or 5(5
broad columns; while the weekly edition I
will be a sheet of eight pages of the same j
dimensions and character that are already *
familiar to our friends.
The .Sen will continue to be the strenuous 1
advocate of reform and retrenchment, ami j
of the substitution of statesmanship, wis
dom. and integrity for hollow pretence, jm- 1
beeility, and fraud in the administration of I
public affiies. V- will contend lor the gov
ernment Of lire people by the peovile and for '
the people, as opposed to govi rjr-ue.it by
frauds in the ballot-box and in the coeni>.*g

will endeAvop ;o supply its readers a bodv
now riot far from a mil!ion of souls with
tli * most careful, complete and trustworthy
accounts of current events, and will employ ;
for tills pui'jP'.se a numeious e.nd carefully i
selected staff of reporters and correspond-1
cuts. Its reports from Washington, espe-:
cially, will be, full, accurate and fearless,
jind it will doubtless continue to deserve
and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by 1
plundering the Treasury or by usurping ,
wliat the law does not give them, while i.
will endeavor to merit the confidence of the
public by defending the rights of tbe people
against the encu achravius oi* unjustified:
power.
The price of the d.d-ly Sun will be 55 cents
a'month or $5.50 a year, post paid, or with
the Sunday edition $7 70 a } ear.

$1.20 a year, po-d paid.
The Week tv Sun, eight pages of 50 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at
the rate of $1 a year, p.>st paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from:
th* previous rate for the Weekly can be 1
enjoyed by individual subscribers without j
the n.-cessi ' y of making up clubs. At the
same time, if any of our friends choose to;
aid in extending our circulation, we shall be j
grateful to them, and every such person who
sends us t;m. or more subscribers from one
place will bo entitled to one copy of the I

people will consider The Weekly <Sun the

Tho “ chain-gang,” which has to
some extent lost its terrors with the
negroes ini Georgia, is very much
dreaded in Florida. In Monticello
last week, when tho prisoners were
led from jail to a colored blacksmith’s
shop, there to bo manacled, a howl of
indignation rent tho air, and the col
ored women made threats that may
cause them to be in tho same fix soon
er or later. This is what comes of
Radicals upholding crime, and not
punishing tbe negroes when deserv
ing it. In fact, negroes do not wish
to be punished, but they like exceed
ingly well to steal and pilfer,

xuuurui i.
Of all t,hc incidents in a seaman's
life there aro nouo which appal the j
mind equal to a ship in flames on the |
broad expanse of ocean, or tho watch
ing of a vessel iu the distance which
is beaiing down upon him with nil |
speed, her square rig and raking j
masts and suspicious movements un
mistakably proclaiming her occupa
tion and intention, and it requires
not tho display of the death’s head
and cross-bones to impress upon the
mind that she is a pirate.
In either case first impressions are
agreeable, but as the
danger increases and th# doom ap
pears to be inevitable, tho agony of
mind depicted upon every countenance
denotes the silent working of the soul
within, and the heart-rending cry of
despair which escapes from feminine
lips, which are ever imploring help
where help cannot come —when, how-1
ever stoical a man may be, he views
his own case while looking upon that
of others, and the brave and proud
soul melts, not from tho heated ele- j
meet nor from tho contemplation of
his own prospective doom, but tlio
agonizing scene which surrounds it.
Wo will in tho first place turn our
attention to the lurid scene which a
vessel on fire at sea presents (in too
ut%y instances in reality ) to tho im
agination at a distance, and we sec a
noble ship careering under a mighty
pressure of snowy canvas, cleaving
her way on the briny element, hasten
ing back to the port she had first left
freighted with the rich productions!
of Asiatic climes, and a living throng
of Eve’s descendants, who, banished
long from kindred and the homes of
their ancestors—from duty or neces
sity—are returning to erabraeo tho
joys which, during a tedious separa
tion, had been heaped in store for the
expected wanderers.
The sun in low latitudes generally j
displays himself iu unwearied spleu-!
dor, and tho well regulated trades i
create a feeling of security which is j
indulged iu not only by tho expo- j
riouced seaman, but even the inox-!
perionced voyager feels its influence, i
which gives rise to and encotuagesl
bright hopes of a speedy and joyous ;
return to long absent friends and tbe j
home of their nativity. It is these
thoughts, aided by the glory of the I
•surrounding and over changing scene j
that helps to destroy the monotony I
of a long sea voyage, when occupation J
is wanted to keep away the ennui
which time unemployed inevitably j
produces.
Thus it is with the passenger at sea; I
each day brings its anxiety, its ennui |
and the earnest desire lev a safe and j
speedy passage, but tbo ship, un-!
wearied by the pressure of the grate- j
ful breeze, pursues her onward course,!
nor fuels nor heeds the smouldering j
heat which combustion, partially sti
fled for tbe want of air, labors slowly
but surely until ignition is produced,
and the dread element, subtle in its
work as it is destructive in its power,
attains irresistible sway ero its pres
ence is manifested to its terror and
awe stricken victims, who, lulled into
security by tho tameness and beauty !
of equatorial skies and rcr.o, tbe
healthy influence of a balmy atmos- j
phere, and the bright hopes of the ;
future, have sought nature’s sweet!
restorer in the quiet and solitude of
their berths, for the shades of night
have succeeded to the unveiled light
of a cloudless day.
But whilst the physical portion of
humanity retrieves exhausted power
from refreshing sleep, that immortal
part, the mind—which never tires nor
stoops to rest—is threading its elec
tric way o’er scenes familiar to its
occupant, iu which it gloried in time
past; or it is reveling with imaginary
objects like itself—though embodied
in form and in speech most natural—■
anticipating matter, which awake,
dwelt upon tho subject that gives
subsistence to tlie apparently disem
bodied part and furnishes action for
its energies, which causo pleasure or
I disquietude according to the scene
presented to tho unconscious dupe of
his own imagination, for such ho is
who dreameth.
But hark ! Surely this is not a
dream, though ’tis tlie dreamy hour
of night. A shudder passes through
the frames cf those who lately slept,
as the cry of “Fire! the ship’s on
tire!” is heard, and man and woman
and child in the moment of alarm
forgetful of their denuded state, rush
with terror to tho deck to ascertain
tho extent of danger, as also the
probabilities attached to their fate,
, which too soon, alas, they discover;
and hope, Which suctaineth all things
unto tho end, is unable to alleviate
I the despair and agony which hangs
i upon every countenance ore tho ex
tent of the danger is fully developed,
for as yet tho flames had not burst
forth. But tho suiell of fire proeced
| iug from the ship’s Hold is too un
mistakable to admit a doubt of the
fact.
Tlie braces are manned, the balm
put down and the ship is hove to; the
head pumps are rigged and hose at
tached, which were extended to the
fore hatch, as the fire seemed forward
of that, the scent being strongest in
tbe top-gallant forc-castle. Every
thing being prepared for action, the
hatch is unbattened, the tarpaulins
torn off, and the fore hatch is jerked
from the combings, when smoke and
flame hitherto pent up together,
rushed with impetuous force to the
aperture, as if to escape and act in
dependently of each other. The crew
fell back from heat and suffocation,
the pumps played their part iu the
exciting drama, and bucket after
bucket \Vi*a brought into requisition
that they might aid in checking and
subduing the flames, which had gain
ed too much headway ere it was dis
covered, and which now bade defiance
to the opposing element.
Exertions almost superhuman are
made by crew and passengers, the
officers devising and bringing to bear j
every ingenuity that human skill or |
thought can suggest to quench the
dread element, which is now exerting j
itself to accomplish its work of de- j
struetion. Each cheek is paled with
fear, the sweat of exertion and also of j
agony is standing on every brow, and
despair gives energy to hopeful but
fruitless labor, for the subtle element
is gaining upon them.
Still, it is necessary the flame
should bo kept in check while prepa
ration is going on to leave the ship,
which '.b.tty devolves upen tho pas
sengers, aided by a few of tho crew.
The ladies had been requested to
, attend to their toilet and to be pre
! pared for any emergency. One has
fainted, another is parlysed with fear,
while another obeyed instructions as
best she could while trying to alle
viate tho sufferings of those less ]
nerved for the task which fato had
set before them.

The following reference to anew |
but valued citizeu of Jacksonville is
from the Atlanta Georgia Grange:
We were rejoiced to meet Colonel
W. J. Lawton, who has been in the
State but one year. He has a home
on the banks of tho St. Johns, only
four miles from the city, but is en
gaged in business in Jacksonville. He
lias always been a persevering, ener
getic and enterprising man, and will,
no doubt, do good service in bis newly
adopted State. His impress can bo
seen in many portions of Georgia.
The building of tho railroad from
Americus to Albany is largely due to
tho work of his head and hands..
Macon owes much to his enterprise,
and especially iu tho erection of that
magnificent main building, “Mercer
University.” His whole soul, mind
and body was devoted to that build
ing, from tho very foundation stone :
■ to the spire which kisses tho clouds.
It stands there to-day, and will cou-
I tinue, perhaps, for a century to come,
I as an enduring monument to his un
selfish devotion to the cause of edu
cation, for he worked for more than
a year without one dollar of remu
neration.
These aro flush tines for the build
ing trade at Jerusalem. A corres
pondent of tbe London Tunes says
that the new blocks meet the eye
everywhere; along the Jaffa road, and
and on both the north and west sides
Of the city, extensive buildings are in
course oi erection; and even within
tho walls, near to the reputed tomb
of David, another large group of ten
ements is being built. These .new
buildings are designed for Jews of
different nations, and are erected by
societies to be lot or sold in tenements
of two rooms each. The pool- are to
be provided with homes for a given
time rent free, and those who are able
to bo permitted to purchase their
! habitations by periodical payments on
! principle similar to those of English
building societies. Until a recent
date the Jews in Jerusalem had then
quarter, as iu many Continental cities:
but they have now tho utmost freedom
! to purchase property wherever they
! can obtain sites, within or outside the
; city walls, and to locate themselves
i wherever they can liud residences.
! This freedom is causing a great in
! eroaso to the Jewish population c! the
! humbler class.
