VOL: 3. NO. 23. 'BKUNSWICK, GEORGIA, WBDNESDAYrMORNING, dEC 5, 1877. $2 00 A YEAR The South to Send General Gor don to Europe. The New Orleans Cotton Exchange i* taking (tops to raise a land to send General Juo. B. Gordon, United States Senator from Georgia, to Europe, when tlio regular session of Congress closes next spring, as an ambossadoro/ the material interests of the New South, to invite the attention of tho Old World to the foot that these fertile' States are now finally pacified, and reoognized upon a free labor basis, and are'consequently, anxious to roooive and to foster European capital and labor. This idea is a happy oue and cannot bat resnlt in great and far reaching good. Tho more formality with which tho visit can be surronndod tha better. It Bhould be made an event cqu.il in importance to tho visit of tlio Emperor of Brazil to this country. Tbe formal receptions which were tendered to him nttrootod the attention of onr people to his country and as n legitimate result wo sco a general demand for tlio pro motion of commercial relations with Brazil. The selection of Gen. Gordon for snob a mission is very wise. Ho happily unites in his person tho quali ties of on ideal fighting confederate with those of a civil lender of tho pro gressive tendencies of the now South which looks.to tlio future ns contra distinguished from the old Soatli, which fell with slavery. While thor oughly representative of this section he is warmly admired at tha North and his mission will be one of conciliation. Thu North will rejoice to honor him and second the move. If General Gordon cun be sent to Europe with sufficient edit, ho will, at the Paris Exposition and at other places, do a great work towards at-' trocting attention to onr reeonrees.— It will be a magnificent and successful advertisement of the foot that we aro out of tho slongh of despond and fall upon the highway of material pro gress.—New Okleanh Tons. Uhemitiiinq a Still.—-At 462 and 4ff4 Wost street, New York, is a mo lasses house, on the north side of which, in an open lot, is a dog ken- ltd, in which, until Tuesday last, somobody kopt a largo and surly black dog. Revouuo offioors Me teor and Hawley, suspecting that a still was under these lots, had tho ground dug up. They found their prize five feet nndor the surface. Thero were two rooms, ten by twelve feet, walled and roofed with thick plank and timl ore, that look ed as though they might have beau there for ton or twelve years. In one room wero til' • contained sev eral hogsheads of tnoloeses, and bar rels of rum. In the other was tho still in full operation. Eeadiug frota this room is a tunnel, at tlio extremity of which Mioliael Lyons was found trying to tscapo through an aperture found in this under ground still was seized, and Lyons was commit tod. The power of interest I Mightior - tbauauarmy with banners; stranger - than the rash of many waters; rarer than the sun to thine or the rein to fall, it grows on, and on, increasing here a little and there a little, until even figures of its immensity. Man hattan Island, now the city of New York, was bought by the Dutch from the Indiants for sixty guilders, or twenty-foar dollars, about two hun dred and fifty years ago. And yet, - if the purchasers coaid have secure ly placed that $24 where it would have added to tbe principal, anuu- ; ally, interest at tho rate of 7 per cent., the accumulation would ex- ; ceed tho present market valuo of all the real estate of tbeeity r.nd county of Now York. » .

Senator Gordou ul Georgia has writ- t u u letter eaRCoj iiiug the mauufae lure o 'cotton goods ill tho Southern Stab i, iu which He say* that as the people recover from tiie shook amides- olatiou of tho p est thoir little surplus finds investment naturally iu cotton mills. Georgia has always boon the leading Southern State in this respect, and still leads, although Mississippi, the Curciilias, Alabama, and Tennessee have greatly increased their surplus ami looms since the war. Tho past year ban seen the construction of the Eagle and Phamix, No. 3, Columbus, Ga.; Matthews Cotton Mill, ticlrna, Ala.; Mobile Cotton Factory, at Mobile (commenced); Enterprise Manufactu ring Company, Augusta, Ga.; Natuhez Cotton Mills, Natchez, Miss.; Atlanta Cotton Factory, Atlanta, Chi.; Vauoinso Cotton Factory, Granitoville, 8. C. (commenced); besides some smaller ones. Tlieso enterprises, at a rule, are of tho most substantial mil solid char acter, aud their macliinery is of the la test and moat advanced patten s. Tho wbolo outlay of tho Trailed Kingdom for intoxicating drinks iu 187(1 was estimated at $700,000,000; that of the United States for the samo year is said to have been $G00,- 000,000. Bat John Bull draws a very handsome revenuo from this source. The income of Great Brit* inn for 1876 wes aboot $400,000,009, and of this amount $170,000,000 enmo from custom duties on wine and spirits, ■ and oxciso duties on spirits, malt, and licenses. In 1862 the easterns duties oa imported wines and spirits amounted to $18, 760,000; for the year ending ou tbe 31st of March List they wero $37,- 600,000. Exciso duties on spirits, malt and licenses iu 1862 came to $86,000,000; for tho year ending on the 31st of March lust they were over $132,000,000. How a Wrecked Ship Floated. The Ban Francisco Alto, of Octo ber 22d, oontoius this interesting statement: “The irou steamer Geor gia was purchased iu 1876 for tbe Pacific Mail Steamship Company, to be placed ou tbe route bt tween this city and Panama. She b&d pre viously been running between New York and Charleston. On hor trip ont here in December, she was wrecked on a reef in the Straits of Magellan. Tbe compauy determi ning to olluct her resale, a party belonging to the American Coast Wrecking Company was sent down on board tho steamer Wilmington for that purpose. A survey show ed the Georgia to bo well up on the reef, with 120 feet of her keel torn ont, and two-thirds of hor under iron plates bent and broken. Sho wns goncrnlly in a very bad condi* tion. A novel plan of rescue was adopted, iu filling her frame spaces even with the tops of her floor with Portland ceiuout. This hardening, formed a solid wall against the in gress of the water in a most satis factory man nor. Shu was rigged with tbroo wreaking pumps, thpt kept her almost free from water, and then floated oil Her enginos being in good condition, the Georgia was otiabied to reach this port under steam on tlio 28th of August. She is no.v iu mngiiiflcciit condition, completely seaworthy, and eveu more-strong and substantial than when sho originally loft New York.” What tu Tc.tclt Ctiildren.
