Wonderful Gyrations of an Obstrep
erous Horse and PLunge imo the
Hirer.
While the little steamer Kota was taking
cu her cargo for SawnnaJh at our wharf
Fri'ru\ afternoon, a aegto boy brought j
down a horse which he had been instructed ;
to ship to some point down the river. As j
the turn came for the animal to "walk the 1
plank” he was confidently led forward by
the who is in the habit of dis
patchiug business accordinafto the rules of
all well regulated steamboats, and when the
ii' >rse began to show a decided aversion to
being checked off along with other freight.
u was decided to count him in, and be over
with it. The Returning Board was ap-1
piied while he was on the plank, and not
hearing from the other two horses which
had just preceded him, he was in doubt
what so do, and while turuing and twisting
around fell into the river, but the man held
Ott so the hulter and after floundering about
awhile landed him safely on the wharf.
This process was repeated two or three
times, when it was decided to use a stout
cope and gently force him aboard. The
horse was taken to the bluff, where the
rope was arranged around his neck, head
and shoulders, and finally passed between
his fore legs and around his bodv. a hi
martingale, and the negro given the end of
the rope and told to puil. while brisk per
suasion was brought to bear in his mar.
This worked finely until the edge of the
cliff was reached, when, making a desjter
ate lurch, he bounded over the cliff and
plunged into the river, carrying with hnu
the negro in his flight. The darkey’s yells,
as he sailed through the air and struck the
water, were savage-like, and as he rose
* from the turbid stre am his eyes looked like
a pair of Savannah oyster she T’s. Mr.
Dunbar, the agent, immediately threw him
a rope, and by this means tiie negro was
hauled iu. The horse swum some distance
down the stream before he landed, and was
afterwards caught. anel tamely went aboard.
The performances were witnessed by a
large number of people who lined the
bunks.;
Hampton Recognized.
The Supreme Court of South Carolina
has recognized Wade Hampton as the only
lawful Governor of that State. Judges
Willard and Wright signed the order re
leasing Tilda Norris, a convict pardoned by
Hampton and which was made a test case.
Afterwards Wright, the negro Judge, "re
niggeu” on his decision and signed a coun
ter statement and fled the State. But it
came too late. The original order was filed
and the penitentiary keeper released Tilda.
All tax? Circuit Judges in the State have for
mally recognized Hampton but two, and
they are asking for their buck pay from the
Hampton treasury.
The Augusta and K uoxville Railroad
Must be Built.
Owicb ok J. F. AL. J. Miller. i
Acuusta, Ga., March :!d, IST7. i
Msssrs. Editors—We crave space in
your columns to urge the importance of
starting the Augusta and Knoxville Kail
road at once. The discrimination against
Augusta, in the matter of freights, is .severe
ly felt by our business houses, and unless
some determined effort is made that will
bring Western produce to our city as cheap
ly as it freighted to Atlanta and other com
peting ports, the business of Augusta w ill
soon dwindle into insignificance.;
Our correspondent at Bowling Green
writes us as follows: “Green lint-freights
South were advanced to-day from all
“ stations on Louisville and Nashville Ra.il
“ road, and this makes it impossible for me
“to sell corn at delivered. Where the
old rates to Augusta ran from 44 to 4Sc.,
the new ones are from 30 to obc., a differ
eneeof 10c. per 100 pounds. The rate* ti
Atlanta were raised only le. (>cr 100 pounds,
and to no other point was advance more or
as much as so Augusta. As only a newjird
more direct avenue, such as the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad will open to the West,
and secure to our city the advantage of
cheaper freights, it behooves us to com
mence the w >rk of building the road imme
diately. If, Messrs. Editors, we go to work
in the rigid way, the road can and will be
built, and we'trust that appreciating its
advantage you will endeavor to stimulate
our people to move in the matter.
Very respectfully yours,
J. F. «fe L. J. Miller.
