The Cold Snlphnr Springs of Virginia.
On the first page of the daily edition of to*
day trill be found every elaborate notice of
these remarkable Springs and their wonderful
curative powers in chronic maladies of almost
every description. No doubt they are already
familiar to many of our readers. They are
called the Virginia Fountain of health and their
cnrstive*properlies are not more strongly at
tested by the medical savans of the Old Domin
ion, than by the personal experience of many
thousands of sufferers who have been restored
to health by the use of these waters. They are
found in one of the most attractive and salubri
ous of the mountain regions of Virginia in a
more healthful and invigorating per
haps than any other portion of the South enjoys,
and teeming with all the resources of comforta
ble subsistence. Most people would like to vis
it these Springs if leisure and finances would
permit.
The Americas; Yeah Book.—From the pub
lishers, O. D. Case & Co., Hartford, Connecti
cut, we have received “The American Year Book
and National Register for 18G9.” It is replete
with facts and figures pertaining to astronomy,
history, politics, finances, commerce, agricul
ture, education and religion. It embraces
general view of the United States, including
every department of the national and State gov-
eanments together with a brief account of for
eign States. It also includes many facts rela
tive to institutions and societies, miscellaneous
essays, important events, and obituary notices
of distinguished persons, making it a most com
plete and valuable library concentrated into 800
comprehensive pages.
The work is edited by David N. Camp, Esq.,
whose duties in its compilation, though arduous
and responsible, have been remarkably well per
formed, and we have many doubts if a similar
publication could have been more complete,
Certainly none has ever yet been given us so
nearly perfect
Professional men throughout the whole coun
try have loiig felt the need of just such a publi
cation as “The American Year Book.” It will
become a great favorite, especially among mem
bers of the press; for the valuable information
which it gives in such a condensed form, will
many times save them hours of research through
large and stupid volumes.
This same feature will also render it invalua
ble to thousands following other pursuits, and
wo are decidedly pleased to understand from
the publishers that they intend to continue the
publication annually of this work, making each
time such additions and improvements as the
demands of the people and their own experience
shall suggest

Unquestionably, one of the great necessities
of Middle Georgia, to make up a comfortable
and wholesome bill of table-fare, is an abundant
supply of Fresh Fish. Doubtless, at one time,
the creeks and rivers of this section were well
stocked with choice varieties of the finny tribe.
But when the land came to be cleared and
broken up by the plough, the wash of the coun
try muddied most of the streams and speedily
exterminated the better and more delicate
varieties, which will not live in turbid water.
They are creatures of delicate tastes and sus
ceptibilities. "We see it stated that all the
varieties of trout have been destroyed or driven
out of the water courses in the greater part of
Maine, by the sawdust from the lumber mills;
and the muddy waters of the Ocmulgee, as we
know, produce only miserable mud fish—suck
ers, red-horse, catfish and the like.
But there is no reason, as we have a finely
watered country—abounding in clear springs—

A Whisky Ring n Georgia.—We seo by the
Savannah Republican that the Grand Jury at the
late session of the United States District Court,
found a true bill against Alberts. Bigelow, Alex
ander H. Robinson, Lloyd D. Waddell, Samuel
Page Edmunds, Monroe J. Adler, William J.
Williams, William G. Dickson, and Henry S.
Fitob, the first count of which charges that on
the 10th of January, 1868, the parties above
named did unlawfully conspire, combine, con
federate and agreo together to commit on of
fence against the United States, and to effect
the object of their conspiracy did, on the day
and year aforesaid, knowingly and fraudulently
receive, sell and dispose of large quantities of
distilled spirits, five hundred barrels of whisky
of great value, to-wit: of the value of forty
thousand dollars, npon which the internal rev
enue tax of the United States, prescribed by the
laws of the United States, had not been paid.
Pacific Railroad.—The reader will find in
another column of this paper some very interest
ing statements regarding this great work. The
point of greatest elevation is Bridger’s Pass
(Rocky Mountains), 7,534 feet above tide water.
The two companies (Central Pacific and Union
Pacific) have, combined, three hundred and for
ty first class locomotives and over four thousand
freight cars, all ready for business. The fare
from New York to San Francisco has been tem
porarily fixed as follows: For emigrant and
second class passengers, seventy-five dollars;
fOr first class passengers, one hundred and sev-
enty-fivo dollars. Time between the two cities
at present, between seven and eight days, to be
shortened as soon os the road settles and the
track is properly raised.
The Steamboat Fire is Cincinnati.—A ter
rible steamboat fire occurred, as has been tele
graphed, in Cincinnati on the 12 th. The fire
broke out at two o’clock in the steamer Clif
ton. It extended to the Westmoreland and
Melnotte above, and to the Cheyenne and Darl
ing below. These five boats were soon envel
oped in flames. The bulls of the Melnotte
and Darling may be used again. The others
are a total loss. The fire originated in the
chambermaid’s room on the Clifton, by the up
setting of a coal oil lamp.
Fourteen kegs of powder on the Cheyenne
exploded and scattered the flames. The West
moreland had 200 barrels of coal oil aboard, and
the Cheyenne had 250 barrels of coal oiL
The 8th Georgia Reunion.—The Atlanta
Canstitation says: A proposition has been made
by one of the Atlanta Grays, that if the Reunion
of the 8th Georgia b?.held at Stone Mountain
on the 21st day of July, the Anniversary of the
first battle of Manassas, the people there will
give the finest barbecue that was ever gotten up
fax this section.
We call the attention of those managing the
matter to this proposition, and aro requested to
ask that it bo considered.
The intelligence lately published, to the effect
that Dr. Livingstone, the great African explorer,
had arrived at Zanzibar, is contradicted. His
friend. Dr. Mnrchison, now infers that he has
traveled west from the southern end of Lake
Tanganiki (finding its waters did not flow north
ward,) following the rivers which issue on the
west coast of Africa. Under this supposition,
he may be first beard of from one of the western
Portuguese settlements, or even from those on
the Congo.
Fray IN THE EAGLE AND FHCENIX FACTORY.—
Fire communicated to the cotton in the lint
room of the Eagle and Phoenix Factory at Col
umbus last Wednesday morning, but it was hap
pily extinguished with very little damage. It
is supposed to have originated from a match or
a nail or gravel in the cotton as it passed through
the machinery.
Unseasonable Weather.—The weather gen-
erally this spring has been remarkably cooL—
Friday morning, at sunrise, the mercury most
have stood between forty-five and fifty. Cotton
is undoubtedly suffering severely from the cold
nights and should the rains continue the wheat
will be seriously damaged.
Brad Out.—Forney, detailing his conclusions
in an “occasional” letter to the Press, says:
There is bat one Republican paper (a weekly)
in South Carolina; and but one—if the Atlanta
Era can be so called—in Georgia. The Repub
lican press in Mississippi and Louisiana is
stronger, but in the latter State the Republicans
are not as harmonious as they should be.

that ‘an acre of good water can be made to
produce twice as much food as an acre of land. ’
It was Francis, the first fish farmer of England,
who said that a sowing of fish was twice as val
uable as a sowing of com. Dr. Thaddens Nor
ris estimates the annnal cost of breeding ten
thousand yearling, eight thousand two-year old,
and seven thousand three-year old trout at $706
and CO cents; the receipts from the sale of their
product, without decreasing the stock on hand,
at $6,100—a net profit of over $5,000. Mr.
Ainsworth, of “West Bloomfield, New York,
found on his farm, when ho purchased it, thir
teen or fourteen small springs, no one of them
of sufficient volume to fill a good-sized quill.
But by collecting their several streams into one,
he secured a volume of one inch of rather vari
able water—variable not only in temperature,
but ingredients; yet be makes this supply of
water sufficient for a pond fourteen feet deep,
and covering sixty rods of ground—formerly a
useless marsh; and in this pond and accessory
pools he keeps from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand trout, which ho feeds to his family, and
about a dozen farm laborers, and yet manages
to sell eggs to the value of at least $500 a year.
“In England and Scotland, entire rivers are
farmed in this way. The Galway, Scotland,
was rented in 1852 to a fish farmer named
Ashworth, who began to stock it with salmon.
In 1853 he took one thousand six hundred and
three fish; in 1854, three thousand one hundred
and fifty-eight; in 1861, eleven thousand and
fifty-one, and in 1864, twenty thousand five hun
dred and twelve—all this without decreasing the
original stock. At tho same the same gentle
man rented the river Tay for $40,000 per year;
in 1854, he had to pay $45,000, and in 1864 the
rent had advanced to $50,000. Tho profits of
the fishery were so great that not only was the
lessee justified in paying this rent, but he was
enabled to build a breeding establishment su
perior to any ontside of France.
“Every farmer in the United States who has
the necessary supply of water can in like man
ner become a breeder of fish, with like profit to
himself, and aid also in stocking public waters
with surplus eggs.”

H, M, Turner,
The forgoing came by the mail of yesterday
and enclosed a clipping from the Standard, con
taining the Tribune’s statement which we cop
ied and commented on two or three days ago.
As Turner says tho Tribune misrepresents him,
we give bim the benefit of the statement. The
case was clear that the Tribune’s statements
were arrant lies, but Turner says it was the
Tribune lying and not he. He adds from his
own knowledge that “the newspapermen have
no moro regard for the truth than the devil has
for holy water,” and he wishes they were all
dead. We concur fully with him in opinion, so
far as relates to tho only class of editors with
whom Turner can claim any acquaintance. The
force of his remark is made clearer from the fact
that on the very day that we got Tamer’s letter
denouncing this statement as false and charg
ing the responsibility of the lie npon the New
York Tribune, Tomer’s organ in Macon comes
ont with an editorial maintaining that it is all true
and the “vilest rebel knows that Mr. Tomer’s
statement is mildly drawn.” Thus there is an
issue of veracity between Turner and his Macon
organ, and we hold the former to be amply jus
tified in bis conclusions abont that class of
“newspaper men." ” T*

A Most Barbarous Murder.
In the Superior Court at Savannah last
Wednesday, Jesse Watkins, negro, was tried
and convicted of the murder of the white lad
Charles P. Wilson, on the 31st of August last,
the following was the testimony of the principal
witness for the State, as reported in the Repub
lican:
Dick Balding, colored, was sworn and said—
I know Jesse Watkins; I have known him for
two years: I knew him in Angnst, 1868; I re
member when Mrs. Wilson’s son disappeared;
I was present when C. P. Wilson was killed: he
was killed near battery 16, abont two miles
south from Savannah; Jesse Watkins, the pris
oner at the bar, killed him; on Monday I was
coming from the market, when Jesse Watkins
called me and told me he was going ont to kill
a cow for the butcher; I asked him if there was
any danger; I then went with him to Mr. ’s
shop and bought powder and shot, and then
came into the road and loaded the gon, and then
went to Battery 16; when we came up to Mr.
Wilson Jesse said to him, “yon d—d rebel son
of a b—, what are yon doing here ?” I said
“Jesse, let that boy alone—let him go abont Ms
business; he told me to shut up my month, he
would show the d—d rebel son of a b—h what
he is doing here; then heard the gun fire; I was
ten steps behind Mm; he shot Wilson down; he
said, “Oh, Lord!” I went ahead of Jesse and
helped Wilson up; Jesse came up to me after
I helped him up and shoved Mm out of my
hand and struck him three times on the head
with the but of the child’s own gun; I 6aid,
‘Jesse, yon ought to be ashamed of yourself;”
he replied, shut np your month, if yon say any-
tMng about it yon will get hanged as well as me;”
he then picked np tho boy and told me to pat
Mm on his shoulder; I took hold of tho boy’s
leg, near the ankle, and threw Mm on Jesse’s
shoulder; be carried Mm into a pine sapling
tMcket; we then came into town; I shamed
him abont it; he said if I did not shat my
mouth I would be hanged myself; Jesse took
Wilson’s gun, shot bag and powder flask; he
stopped at Callahan’s and took a drink ; after
that he took the boy’s gun, and went away; on
the Thursday afterwards he went to Battery'lC,
where I shot n cow; after I shot the cow I saw
a colored boy coming on a horse, and I ran;
Jesse said if he had another load he wonld tum
ble the colored boy ; I said, Jesse, yon have
killed one boy now, and do yon want to kill an
other?—he said, “I don’t care a a—n;” we
were skinning the cow when the colored boy
came np; Jesse Md the gun on Thursday morn
ing at Battery 16; in the evening he wanted me
to go with him to get the gun: I refused, but
he went on. The boy was killed on Monday,
and the next Thursday night I was arrested;
the gun in court is the one Jesse shot the boy
with; it belongs to my father: my father lent
the gun to some one, and Jesse got it from tho
man to whom my father lent it; I loaded the
gun, wadded it with moss; I also had some pa
per ; when Jesse fired, the boy was abont as far
as from here to the door, (from the witness
stand to the Court-room door); when I went to
the boy to help Mm I got blood on my band;
when Jesse fired, tho boy was walking with Ms
side partly towards Mm; it was nearly dark
when the boy was shot
From Greene County.
The Greensboro’ Herald has the following
npon a “bully” field of wheat in the limits of
that corporation:
Onr fellow-citizen, Mr. T. Tunison,has, within
tho corporate limits of our city, a field of wheat
containing abont two and a half acres, which is
the finest we have either seen or heard of tMs
season. The stalks will average full six feet in
height, and the heads are unnsnally large and
well filled. One of onr most experienced plant
ers, on seeing the field, pionounced it something
very extraordinary, and thiriks that it will yield
one hundred bushels. Mr. Tnnison thinks Ms
calculation rather large, bnt is quite confident
that the yield of the field will not fall short of
seventy-five bushels. The weather during the
past few days having moderated, the wheat
crops have improved very much in appearance,
and\if they meet with no further mishap, we
may safely calculate on a full crop in tMs sec
tion of the State. The com and cotton crops in
this county are looking well, notwithstanding
the past unfavorable weather. The peach crop,
though injuredby the frosts to some extent, will
yet be a fair yield. Our gardens are all looking
well, and we are having vegetables and straw
berries in abundance.
have commenced planting over again. Most of
the planters are busy in chopping out. Few
have used fertilizers. The fact is, those who
used them last year in tMs section, applied
them, as I suppose, unintelligently, and reaped
no perceptible benefit; and I know one, who,
in 1867, put four hundred pounds of Phoenix
guano to the acre, and the crop did not’ show
where it was used.
We are too poor tMs year to buy fertilizers.
Despite the talk about the large amount of
money wMch the cotton crop brought to the
South last year, money is actually scarcer to
day than was ever known before. TMs is be
cause we raised very little com and meat, and
all onr surplus funds are to-day exhausted in
the purchase of food.
We are sad over the death of Rev. W. O.
Cleveland, who died on the 8th. He was one of
the first settlers of this county, and has been
an influential and leading citizen for many
years. Ho was a man of indomitable energy
and fine intellect—an ornament to Ms church—
Ms friends, and to Ms country. S. R.
A Camden Comity Land Company.
The CMcago Republican of Friday has a let
ter from St. Mary's over the initials “V. H.,”
wMch gives an account of a Northern settle
ment in Camden county under the name of the
“Berne Planting, Manufacturing and Fruit grow
ing Company.” The character and purposes of
the association are thus set forth by the writer:
A GREAT LAND SCHEME.
During the last session of the Geoigia Legis
lature, we obtained the passage of a bill char
tering the Berne Planting, Manufacturing and
Fruit-growing Company, with a capital of $200,-
000, apportioned in shares of §100 each.
The charter is a liberal one, allowing ns to do
almost anything under it except “banking.” It
is proposed to organize a company under it, for
the purpose of entering into the fruit, sugar
and cotton cultnre, npon an extensive scale,
and upon such a basis as to secure to the stock
holders large dividends with bnt little if any
risk, and to dispose of surplus lands.
Tho undertaking is a novel one, at least in
this part of the country. Unlike railroad, pe-
trolium oil, steamboat or banking organizations,
where the stockholders have nothing bnt antici
pated profits after the lapse of years, and sel
dom, if ever, realize any even then, this com
pany will have abont six thousand acres of choice
lands to start upon, wMch, with skill and man
agement, large profits may reasonably bo ex
pected the first or second year, and wMch can
not be burnt up or ran away with.
Our project can bo demonstrated to tho satis
faction of all cultivators of the soil to be feasi
ble. We have, then, to start with, on the north
bank of the Crooked river, extending up and
down the river for abont five miles, nearly 6,000
acres of choice lands, embracing some 1500 to
2000 acres of the finest sea island cotton lands
in the South. Then abont the same quantity of
sugar cone and com lands; also abont 2000 acres
of timber; 500 or 800 of it cypress, and from
wMch can be taken $20,000 or $30,000 worth of
lumber; part of the balance pine timber; a large
quantity of turpentine or sap trees; at least
three-quarters of the whole is adapted to tho
culture of fruit of every kind and variety al
most, particularly peaches, quinces and*figs.
They seem to spring up spontaneously. Quinces
grow very large and soft, more like apples than
Northern quinces. Peaches, quinces and figs
never fail. Oranges are liable to be killed by
frost as they have been this year.
To pnt out 100,000 peach trees and 20,000 or
30,000 quince next fall and winter, would bring
in an income of $75,000 at the end of the tMrd
year, with proper care and cultnre; the fourth
year $150,000. All that is wanted is the capital
and skill.- We have the land, energy and the
climate. They will bear here with ordinaiy care
twenty and thirty years.
It will be the first object of the company, after
its organization is completed, to seenre a com
petent man, one of administrative and execu
tive ability, to be its President or take charge
of the general supervision of its affairs. There
competent managers in each of the branches of
business contemplated will be needed; one for
cotton, one for sugar cane, one for frait and
one for gardening; men who understand their
business and have had experience in the man
agement of free labor, who can and will work
themselves, as well as direct others. With such
we invite correspondence. With such an organ
ization, with the facilities of direct communica
tion with Northern markets, there can be little
or no risk in magnificent results.
It is desirable that any one connected with
this organization, in any capacity, should be a
stockholder, and we shall be glad to hear from
any one who desires to join in tMs enterprise,
and in a very short time we shall be ready to
give a more detailed account of onr plans and
organization. '
We want five thousand persons to join ns and
settle on this river; there is room and land
enough for ten thousand.
We want practical, scientific cultivators of the
soil, as far as possible—men of sober, industri
ous habits—men who will treat all men as men
under the law, without any distinction of race,
color or previous condition—men who can com
prehend tho difference between that and social
equality—men who are not afraid to aid in ele
vating the down-trodden without any fear of
making them their superiors—willing to give
them a fair chanoe “in the race” with them
selves. •. i.

The President made a brief statement of the
present and former condition of the Macon &
Augusta railroad. He declared his anxiety to
finish this road despite the charges made against

to Macon or Ms support of the enterprise wonld
be withdrawn. The charge had been made that
the President of that road was not an owner of
stock and was illegally in his office. He felt
bound to say that these charges were true, but
still the city of Augusta had control of the road
and the power was now with the municipal
government to remedy the evil. — -

From Omaha to CMcago the distance is 494

The letters of the above table are to be un
derstood as meaning (W. P. R. R.) Western Pa
cific railroad, running from San Francisco to
Sacramento; (C. P. R. R.) Central Pacific rail
road, organized under the laws of the State of
California, to bnild a line from Saramento east
to the State line, and afterwards recognized and
subsidized by Congress, to extend its lino east
to connect with that of the Union Pacifio rail
road (U. P. R. R.) building from Omaha to the
west. The road has now been built. To-mor-
row the connection will have been made and af
ter that through travel from New York to San
Francisco may be considered open, overland,
by continuous line of railway. That this was
no easy work may be imagined. As a single
item of expenditure and as indicating the rest
of the cost, it may be mentioned, that the ex
pense of blasting powder used for the first one
hundred and forty miles east of Sacramento was
not less than $900,000. Portions of the line
have cost as Mgh as $300,000 per mile, and the
average cost per mile of^tho mountain section
was abont $100,000.
HOW TRAVEL IS TO BE CONDUCTED.
In expectation of the junction of the two
roads, the Central and the Union Pacific, both
companies have made ample prepartions to ac
commodate trade and the travelingpublic. The
first thing upon wMch they had to agree was, of
course, the rate of passage from ocean to ocean.
The respective officers of the companies were in
consultation yesterday, and they camo to a tem
porary understanding that tho fare from Now
York to San Francisco for emigrant and second
class passengers should be seventy-five dollars.
In regard to the charge for through freight noth
ing definite has yet been arranged, but a tariff
wifi be determined onin a few days. It isexpect-
ed that the trip from shore to shore can be made
in between six and seven days. For the present
the time of running will barather slower, as the
track is new and wants ballasting and “sur
facing.” After that, when from running trains
the proper firmness is gained, the time will be
somewhat inside of six days. So that a person
leaving New York on Monday morning may
spend Ms next Sunday in sight of the Golden
Gate of the Pacific. The Union Company, as
well as the Central, have each over two thousand
freight cam in readiness to transport whatever
of merchandise may offer, and while the first
has over one hundred and fifty locomotives,
the latter counts one hundred and ninety, all
in good working order. They were all made in
the Eastern States, excepting two, wMch wero
constructed at San Francisco. The Central
bums wood only in their engines. The Union
was fortunate enough to find heavy and exten
sive coal-beds on the government lands donated
along the line, sufficient to yield them fuel for
centuries to come, and they had their locomo
tives constructed to bum coal and they mine the
material themselves.
On passenger trains everything will bs provi
ded that the wants of man may suggest. Sleep
ing cars, drawing room cars for ladies, saloon
cars for gentlemen, restaurant cars, with kitch
en on wheels, in fact, everything that a first
class hotel in a city can offer, will there be found
in the comparatively small limit of a railway
train. And it has been suggested—and the sug
gestion is not a bad one—that to each train there
should be added a printing car, where, every
morning and evening, the new3 from the East
and West may be gathered at the telegraph sta
tions, put in tyye and printed in sheets, so that
the travelling passenger, daring the several days
on the route, may have the regular morning and
evening paper as well as their meals.
No name has yet been fixed upon the place
where the two roads connect. Union city, Junc
tion city and other names have been proposed;
but none of them is as yet approved, though it
is probable that before many days the name of
the “great city” yet to spring’into life, and where
the East and West will shake their iron hands
and exchange greeting wifi be finally determined.
The enemies of the South are the Democratic
newspapers. They sow the seeds of dissension
broadcast. Assaults npon President Grant, npon
Congress, and in too many cases upon the North
ern people as a body, are the daily food they
supply to their long oppressed and misguided
readers. It wonld bo hard to hold the people
responsible for these mediums of dissatisfac
tion. Let ns hope that the true exponents of
Southern sentiment are the men who aro build
ing up these great thoroughfares, and the other
men who have bravely but vainly fought to de
stroy the best Government in the world, and are
now as ready to submit to its laws and to assist
in its complete reconstruction.—Mr. Forney's
East Tennessee Letter.
And for a long time the Constitution of the
United States was the most potent and detested
enemy of Mr. Forney’s Radical party. Forney
and his party'killed andbnrried the Constitu
tion, bnt the Democratic press and party ire
gotog to live long enough to Mil and bury, po
litically, Mr. Fomey and his Radicals.
Important Decision.—The question of open
ing judgments, heretofore rendered, under the
provisions of the 2d section of the act for the
relief of debtors and creditors, came before the
Superior Court of Ranpolph county on Monday
last, (Hon. D. B. Harrell presiding,) on the mo
tion of D. H. Janos versus J. MoK. Gunn,
Fielder & Jones for the motion, Hood & Eiddoo
for for respondent.
The argument was on a demurrer to the mo
tion and plead npon the ground that the law as
applied to judgments is unconstitutional, in
which Messrs. Hood, Kiddoo and Douglass op
posed, and Mr. Fielder and Judge Harden sus
tained the law. The presiding Judge sustained
the constitutionality of the law. The case was
passed on by the jury and the judgment scaled
to about one-fourth its present amount.
We learn the case goes up to the June term of
tho Superior Court for final adjudication.
