In a tract entitled “ A New Voy
age to Georgia by a Young Gentle
man,” we find that on the 10th of
May, 1835, he makes this iinjior
tant entry: “I met with nothing
very material that night, except my
sending one of the oar men for
some fresh water to a spring about
a stone's throw from the camp, who
came back in a terrible fright,
swearing lie either saw the devil or
some spirit. * * * We took each
of us a stick of lightwood in our
hands, and went to meet this spir
it, which proved to be nothing but
a poor raccoon, which we killed
and barbecued for our supper, with
some oysters for sauce, there being
great plenty of them, and I think
much the finest in the whole prov
ince.” A few days thereafter, he
writes: “And about two miles from
the house I met with a possum,
which is very like a pig, it has
a false belly, so that when they
have young ones, if you fright
them they immediately run into
the bag, which closes up immedi
ately. I reached Witton’s by noon,
and had my possum dressed for
dinner.” He often speaks of “gin
ger bread and cheese,” “a tiff of
cheese,” “a drop of shrub,” “plenty
of rum, sugar and lime-water,” etc.,
etc. It seems this “young gentle
man” had an eye to creature com
forts on “A New Voyage to Geor
gia” by land.
Experience and observation both
attest the force of the assertion that
an organ is developed in propor
tion to the healthful exercise that
uny organ is called upon to per
former existence. Now comes up
the question, what would have been
the condition of the eyes of the
great-great-great-grandchildren that
are now living of that good old
man who lived on “ye Islande in
ye days of honestye,” and abhorred
meanness of act to such an extent
that when in the presence of any
man who was ever suspected by his
neighbors of doing a dishonorable
deed, he would fold his hands be
hind him, turn his back, and keep
his eyes closely shut until the
mean man was gone. We repeat,
what would be the present condi
tion of the eyes of his descendents
if there had been a continual shut
ting of eyes upon all the dishonest
men they and their forefathers
must have met. and do now meet.

Mr. John Currie, of St. Simons,
has ou exhibition a jar of pickled
olives, grown at Canuon’s Point.
Will it pay ? Mr. Currie sold, on
Wednesday, one gallon of olive oil
in the city, at 86.00. An acre with
an ordinary grove on it yields oue
hundred gallons, and an olive grove
lasts two or three hundred years.
What better investment than olive
groves on St. Simons ?

On Wednesday evening, Joe
Robinson, an employe at St. Si
mons Mills, had the fingers of his
right hand badly cut by the knives
of the planer. It seems that the
planer was stopped for Joe to clean
out, when another hand started the
machinery.

Without adopting in toto the Dar
winian theory, we might follow up
the comparison with great interest,
and find much to instruct and im
prove us, for it is undeniable that
in proportion to the falling into
disuse of an organ, from whatever
cause, there supervene both atony
and atrophy, so much so that a
neglect of use of any organ for
many successive generations would
finally eventuate in the entire ob
literation of this organ. The non
existence of eyes in the fish caught
in the pools in the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky is accounted for on
this plausible theory. The cham
bers in which these fish have for
many years existed and propagated
are perfectly dark—so much so
that probably a ray of sunlight has
never entered them, consequently
the fish, having no cause to use
their eyes, in each successive gen
eration have bad these organs more
and more faintly developed, until
a final obliteration has ensued,
leaving only a slight trace of their

were killed and forty-nine wound'

As a result, however, 3,043 stills
were seized and 6,153 persons
arrested, and now the revenue re
