The writer has been moving around ex tensively through Georgia, deservedly styled the “Empire State of the South,” within the past ten days, and proposes to print a few notes “taken on the wing. ” First, he visited Cuthbert, without paus ing by the way, and found that little city os inviting and pleasant as ever, but much exercised and grieved over the failure of C. N. Simpson, one of her most prominent merchants. It is believed, however, that Mr. Simpson will be on his feet again in a few days as the trusted agent of his princi pal creditors, who are nearly related to him. Moreover, all who know him are con fident that he will eventually liquidate every dollar of his past indebtedness. C'apt. A. J. Move still holds the front rank among the successful farmers of Randolph, and the venerable Ordinary, JUDGE GARMELY has probably a lifelong lease upon his office, and is never tired showing visitors over the new and elegant court house, This is the home also of Hon. John T. Clarke, who will without doubt be promoted to the Supreme bench of the State if the number of Justices is increased at the next general election. Cuthbert boasts two of the best weekly newspapers published in Georgia, viz: the Advertiser and Appeal and the Liberal. Just now the people are jubilant over the prospect of a railroad connection in the near future with Columbus and Albany. It is stated that Mr. Gunby Jordan has placed the whole line under con tract, and the road will certainly be built. This enterprise when completed will open up anew era of prosperity to Southwest Georgia, which suffered so much at the hands of H. I. Kimball & Cos. The great want of Cuthbert is a modern and commodious hotel, but in the interim the wayfarer is comfortably provided for at the old “Kidder House,” now kept by Mr. P. A. Price. T At Dawson we tarried but a single night and enjoyed the hospitality of the FARNUM HOUSE, which is so delightfully conducted by Mrs. Carver, the daughter of the proprietor. Ttiose who go there once will bo certain to go again. . BRUNSWICK. We must now invite the roader to return with us to Macon and then journey over the entire route of the old “Macon and Bruns wick railroad” to its deep water outlet on the broad Atlantic. This forms a part now of the immense system of the East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia railroad syndi cate, which is so ably managed by the famous B. W. WRENN. For many years the road was in a dilapi dated and uii-afe condition. But the entire track has been recently relaid with heavy steel rails, the bridges and trestlework thor oughly repaired and additional “sidings” constructed. It will now compare favora bly in every respect with any highway in the South, and is doing a very heavy busi ness. Brunswick has taken anew departure of late and is rapidly increasing in population and commercial importance. From her Mayor, Mr. J. T. Dunn, we learn that 300 buildings have been erected within the past year, which are occupied by fully 2,000 additional inhabitants. The BANKING CAPITAL of the city is also ample, embracing two national banks and three private institu tions of a similar character, the whole rep resenting fully $200,000. Some salient and interesting facts were gathered, too, from the polite officials of the custom house. Mr. Jacob E. Dart is the Collector, assisted by Mallory King, Esq., a son of the late distinguished Secretar y of the Navy, Hon. Thomas Butler King. To the latter we are indebted for the following statistics: EXPORTS OF BRUNSWICK. For the year ISBO the exports of the port of Brunswick footed up $108,348. In 1887 they have already reached the splendid figure of $1,824,034, showing an increase of Si, 115,680. This is the foreign commerce of the port only. The coastwise trade is more than double that amount. The custom reve nues are about $40,000, against #B,OOO for the previous year. The imports for 1886 were $35,170. For 1887 to date, they count up $47,602. Clearances to foreign ports in 1886, 119 vessels; clearances to date in 1887, 139 vessels. Aggregate of foreign tonnage in 1886, 55,993 tons; in 1887, to date, 74,758 tons. COTTON RECEIPTS. The cotton business of Brunswick is in creasing rapidly. Thus in the season of 1883-84 the arrivals amounted to but 8,000 bales, while up to present (late in 1887 they foot up 30,404 bales. Very little of the great staple is sold here, however. It merely passes through to foreign ports and enly benefits the draymen, stevedores and ship pers. There are, indeed no warehouses for the reception and storage of cotton. NAVAL STORES. From Messrs. C. Dunning, Jr., & Cos. we learn that the receipts of spirits of turpentine and rosin the present season will exceed by 26 per cent, any previous year. That firm alone has already bandied 25,000 barrels of spirits of turpentine and 100,000 barrels of rosin to date, and the gross amount of their sales will exceed 1700,000. THE OGLETHORPE HOTEL. This magnificent structure is rapidly ap proaching completion. It is announced that the opening will be early in January. Mr. Burbage, one of the stock company, showed the writer all ov r the premises. The build ing has a front of 275 feet, with two ells, each extending JlO feet in tho rear. It is constructed of hard brick of tho best quali ty and presents a most imposing appear ance. The sleeping apartments, aside front parlors, offices, etc., number HO, and tho furniture, carnets, and silver and glassware, indeed all of the appointments of the con cern will be of the nest and most costly de scription. It is intended to keep tho hotel open all the year round and make it loth a Winter anil summer resort for invalids and tourists. The concern will be run by a stock company, under the management of MR. M. A. CRITTENDEN, who is the proprietor of A hotel in Coopers town, N. Y., and is also in charge of tho largest summer house in Old Point Comfort, Va. The “Oglethorpe” will be supplied with water from an artesian well, which discharges 875 gallons per minute. It will lie conducted into every room, and utilized for the complete protection of the premises against fire. ST. SIMON’S ISLAND. Your scribe paid a visit to this lovely islet in the teeth of a biting, horrible Northeast gale, which is simply indescribable. We were in charge of Capt. Peter Nelson, of the tiny but staunch steamer “Egmout," who put us through in safety, despite the chop ping sea and fierce winds. On the way we passed witffin hail of the good ship BOWLING CITT. Capt.. Avery, of New Bedford, Mass. The Captain had just returned from a seven months’ whaling cruise in Southern lati tudes, and had stftred on board a catch of barrels of oil and a goodly stock of n hnlelvme. Two years ago he" harpooned and captured off rite Brunswick bur two sperm whales, which proved a veritablo bo nanza to him. * the ST. SIMON'S LUMBER COMPANY. This is probably the largest establishment of the kind in the .South, The company, besides owning 300.000 acres of pine land near Eastman, make purchases of timber constantly from Darien and other points on the Altamuha river. At this time they have on hand awaiting shipment as fast as possible no less than FOUR MILLION FEET of merchantable lumber, which will lie sent to coastwise ports and South America as rapidly as it cau be loaded. The cutting capacity of the two mills is about 125,000 feet per day, and sometimes no less than NINE SHIPS may lie seen at their wharves receiving cargoes for every part, of the world. The proprietors have sunk an artesian well which supplies all the water needed for the machinery and twelve hydrants liesides, which by the mere force of atmospheric pressure could inundate not only the build ings, but every pile of lumber on the yards. They employ 150 hands, and the pay roll is about $3,000 per month. The cost of the plant was over SIOO,OOO. Quite a flourishing village has grown up around the mills, with a neat church, school house, post oftice and store. The population is about 800. So much on this freezing day for what ought to be a semi-tropical isle.” But these terrible blizzards seem hardly to stop short of the equator. H. H. J. The Origin of the First Presbyterian Church. Editor Morning News: In my commu nication of Doc. 2, I omitted to refer to a pamphlet in my possession, without which my article would hardly be considered as complete. I therefore submit the following extract from that pamphlet, which speaks for itself: Rules and confession of faith of the First Presbyteriau church constituted in Savannah, June ti, 1827. Early in the month of May of this year, a few Christian brethren, then members of the First Presbyterian Church * * * presented the following application to the church, of which they were then members. "To the Rev. 8. B. Haul, Pastor, and the ses sion of the Independent Church in Savannah: "Brethren -The undersigned members of the church over which you preside, believing that the interests of the Redeemer's kingdom would he promoted by the establishment of a Presbyterian church in this city, respectfully and affectionately request, for the purpose of forming such a church, a dismission from your body. * * * We are brethren yours, etc., “George G.

Faries, Lowell Mason, Edward Coppee and Joseph Cumming, requesting to lie dismissed from this church, it is unanimously resolved by session to grant their request; that they be and are hereby dismissed from this church as communicants in good and regular standing. S. B. How, “Moderator of the Session.” Having obtained this dismission, these breth ren made an application to the Moderator of the Presbytery of Georgia, who visited Savannah in person, and after examining into the circum stances of the case, appointed a meeting of the Presbytery to be held on Wednesday, June fi.

Reminiscences of Dickens. Adolphus Trollope. Dickens was only 33 when I first saw him, being just two years my junior. I have said what he appeared to me then. As I knew him afterward, and to the end of the days, he was a strikingly manly man, not only in appearance, but itij bearing. The lustrous brilliancy of his eyes was very striking. And Ido not think that I have ever seen it noticed that those wonderful eyes, which saw so much and so keenly, wero apprecia bly, though to a very slight degree, near sighted eyes. Very few persons, even among those who knew him well, were aware of this, for Dickens never used a glass. But he continually exercised his vision by looking at distant objects, aid mailing them out as well as he could with - any artificial assistance. It was an instance of that force of will in him which compelled a naturally somewhat delicate frame to comport itself like that of an athiele. Mr. Forster somewhere says of him: “Dickens’ habits were robust, but his health was not. ” This is entirely true as far as my observation extends. Of"the general charm of his manner I despair of giving any idea to those who have not seen or known him. This was a charm by no means dependent on his genius. He might have been the great writer he was and yet not have wanned the social atmosphere wherever he apjteared with that summer glow which seemed to attend him. His laugh was brimful of enjoyment. There was a peculiar humorous protest in it when recounting or hearing anything specially absurd, as who should say, “ ‘Pon my soul, this is too ridiculous! This passes all bounds!” and bursting out afresh, as though the sense of the ridiculous overwhelmed him like a tide, which carried all hearers away with it, and which 1 wi 11 remember. His enthusiasm was boundless. It entered into everything he said or did. It belonged, doubtless, to that amazing fertility and wealth of ideas and feeling that distin guished his genius.* Westminster Abbey’s Monuments. Gath's Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer. Borne of the monuments tower up to the height of twenty feet or more, perhaps to the height of thirty feet. Great Britain is carved all over the bases of them weeping for her sons. Judging by the number of those sons hi-r lamentations are incessant, and site wouid seem to be a kind of profes sional funeral mourner. The lion is seen disconsolate, wiping his eye with his paw. The unicorn is in a deep melancholy. The statesmen rise up in their robes of peers calmly gazing off into the depths of the cathedral. Here and there some entirely forgotten person has made the marble howl. One tomb represents a man’s wife snatched away by Death, who is coming out of the grave in his bones and shroud to claim her, and the husband is squaring off at him, as nearly as I can recollect. The attempt to make marble do too much on funeral occa sions often leads to an emotion in the specta tor between excitement, wonder and smiles. Some actors are put in here like Garrick. The monument to Shakspeare has been often copied, but is a poor composition, and it represents Shakspeare leaning over a kind of table as he stands where his play books are being studied. Perhaps the most effective thing in the poets’ line is Ben Jonson’s tomb,which merely says: “Oh, rare Ben Jonson!” For Coughs end Tlirost Disorders use Brown's Bronchial Troches. -“Have never changed my mind respecting them, except I think better of that which I began thinking well of." - Rev.

Washington, Doc. 2, —There ts a great deal of commotion in army circles over the extraordinary situation existing in regard to coming changes. Never in the history of our army has any President in time of peace had so many important military ap pointments to make as ihe next President will have. The officers of the army are not allowed on the surface to interfere or indulge in polities in any form, but at the same time the army influence in political affairs and in appointments is frequently potential. The winter prom ises to see some very fine social work done by the army set, with an eye to future contingencies. During the next administration three general officers and every general staff officer, ex cept two, will retire under the law retiring officers 64 years of u-e, ami the President elected next year will appoint their suc cessors. The general officers who will he thus retired and to whom successors will be appointed are: Maj. Gen. Terry, Brig. Gen. Stanley, and Brig. Gen. Gibbon. The gen eral staff officers who will bo retired under the 64-year law are Brig. Gen. Holabird. Quartermaster General; Brig. Gen. Bener, Chief of Ordnance; Brig. Gen. Rochester, Paymaster General; Brig. Gen. McFeely, Commissary General of Subsistence; Brig. Gen. Moore, Surgeon General, and last but not least Brig. Gen. Drum, Adjutant Gonei al. The only general officers, chiefs of staffs, remaining are Judge Advocate General Swaim, now serv ing on half pay by sentence of court mar tial, and Gen. Greely, Chief of the Signal Service Office. Under the present adminis tration two general officers will be retired next year, viz., Gen. Baird, Inspector Gen eral, and Gen. Duane, Chief of Engiueers. Thus it happens that within five years all the heads of the staff departments except two are changed. Now there would be comparative serenity in army circles if the rule of succession was always adhered to, and there would be a complete understanding as to the general advances all along the line, but unfortu nately this rule has been many times broken or ignored, and so the army people are plunged into uncertainty as" to wliat the next President may do. Under Grant’s ad ministration thero were two notable instan ces of ignoring the law of succession and regular promotion. Men were taken up from low rank and passed over the heads of old, famous, and battle-scarred officers, to pfaces of power and prominence, and men found themselves serving under the orders of officers who had been subalterns under them, and who were far behind them in the line of promotion. Much discontent and bitterness has thus been occasioned in the army, and disc plins seriously impaired by undeserved promotions out of the regular line, made through political, social, or family influence. It is an axiom in army organizations that when political or family enters in, discipline and efficiency go out. Under Grant, West Pointer, Cominander-in- Chief, President as ho was, there were two instances to the point, which were looked upon as flagrant in the army. These were the promotions of McFeely and Benet, who were raised from the rank of Major dear over the heads of all the officers above them, and made chiefs of their departments with the rank of Brigadier General. But a still more notable instance occurred under the Hayes administration in the pro motion of Swaim from next to the bottom of tile list in regular succession to the head of his department as J udge Advocate Gen eral. Gen. Swaim had been for years a fol lower and believer in Mr. Garfield. He was Garfield’s devoted friend and admirer. He was of a money-making disposition, close and calculating,” while Garfield could never make a cent in business, and Swaim took bis money and invested it and managed it for him. He knew how much money Gar field had in bank when the latter had no more idea of it than a boy. Swaim bought the house Garfield used to live in in Washington, and installed the Garfield family there, rent free. He so man aged that no man could have been placed under heavier obligations, finan cially, socially and politically, than Garfield was under to him. He believed, just ns much as be believed that the sun wouid rise of a morning, that Garfield would one time be the President, and that when that occurred he would claim his re ward. He often said so, and his implicit and unwavering confidence strengthened the faith of many others in Garfield’s des tiny. After Garfield’s election Swaim went to Mentor and took charge of matters ab solutely, and then he demanded recognition of his services. Garfield, after his manner, put his arm around Swaim’s neck and said: “My dear boy, I owe as much to you as ever one man owed to another. You have but to name your desire and it shall be granted.” “1 want to be appointed Judge Advocate General,” said Swaim. Garfield was staggered. He remonstrated against the demand, saying it would ruin him with the army to make such an ap pointment, that it was subversive of dis cipline, apd would discourage and demoral ize the army. But Swaim was inexorable. Garfield sent to Gen. Charles Foster to help him out of the difficulty, and Foster, after a talk with Swaim and finding him obdu rate, hit upon a plan which he laid before Garfield and which they agreed to work upon. The plan was to have Hayes, who was just going out, make the appointment and take the onus of it off from the incoming Ohioan. Foster went to Washington, and after a struggle got Hayes to agree to it through a dicker that Gar field should appoint Baxter, and so the appointment was made and the re sponsibility taken from Garfield in part, though the story to some extent leaked out, and in the end Garfield had to take the re sponsibility. Swaim was‘appointed Briga dier-General and Judge Advocate-General in Feb. 13, 1881, and accepted on Feb. 22. Thus Hayes was made a cat’s paw by Gar field through the sly manoeuvring of Char ley Foster After Garfield’s death the feel ing of outrage and indignation in the army against Swaim took shape in what was, to a groat extent, a conspiracy to overthrow him, and to this effort President Arthur lent his active aid and sup port, as will be remembered. Nothing really culpable was clearly proved against Swaim except an inordinate and indiscreet desire to make money, and the effort to oust him was a partial failure, but it succeeded in suspending him from office for a term which would take him by its expiration be yond the legal year for retirement for ser vice, thus practically putting him out of the army. It is the remembrance of these things, in connection with the great number of coming changes, that is worrying the army people very much just now, and it does not soothe them any when they remem ber that Mr. Cleveland has followed the example of Grant and Hayes in the promo tion of Gen. Greely. Needs an India Rubber Conscience. FVom the Jasper (Ga.) Herald. We see now that wo missed it by not adding five more pounds to the three turnips we mentioned last week.
