Our Railroads.
The opinions held by people in
tli£|e parts in regard tOjfche Brims
w|k k Albany, and Bainbridge,
Cflibert dapCdlum bus Railroads,
ar&s varied as the colora of Jo
seph’s coat. And most; people; are
as much puzzled to know how
“tilings will finally work out” as
they could well be. It is held by
some that both roads will run on
the same bed from Carter’s Mill to
Spring Vale. Others think this
joint arrangement will only be to
Cuthbert; and yet others—and we
might say a very large number—
believe that notwithstanding the
pledges to the contrary, the B. & A.
Rond will never come nearer this
city than Carter’s. This latter
opinion is strengthened by the pos
itive assertion of some that a por
tion of the grading between that
point and Cuthbert is on the nar
row guage order. We are inform
ed that all the work now being done
on the B. C. & C. road is for a nar
row gauge road.
Many people think a largo sized
“ mice ” can clearly be discovered
in the. signs of the times generally.
We want these roads built, because
we think they would benefit our
city and onr section of the Slate.—
We have no objection whatever to
seeing Mr. Jyimball build them;
and so long as we feel that this is
his object, we expect to encourage
him in the work to the exteut of
our ability; We would not expect
hitii or any other man to engage in
it without some prospect of mak
ing money. We are willing that the
laborers should be paid, and well
paid; but if become satisfied
that efforts are made to dupe our
people and defrand the State in any
way, we will not be backward to
cry out against it. We know that
a heavy game is being played on
the chess board, and that shrewd
ness is requisite, but fail t.o disoov
tlie need for that strategy which
keeps every body in the dark, and
damages the cause generally by en
gendering doubts and suspicions.
If a “ bluff” game is not intend
ed, it’s about time for “ showing
hands.” The public Lave a right
to some information, and there has
been enough “ grave yard ” talk in
the premises.
Col. Simmons’ Election.
The election of Col. T. J. Sim
mons to the Senate by the people
of Bibb, Pike and Monroe count i< s,
was :i glorious democratic triumph,
ami clearly evim-es the fact that the
days of parpet-l>ag and negro 1 tile
in the Empire State is rapidly draw
ing to a close.
In order to make a decent show
ing thy Pads, picked up old man
Tinlcy, a life time democrat, aud
thought to put him through. Out
of a total of '4.247 votes, he only
received 583—making Simmons’
majority 3,081.
In Monroe, which county sent ne
groes to the last Legislature, there
was not a single Radical vote ; and
only 86 in Pike county.
Restoration of the Capital--
The Athens Watchman publishes
the proceedings of the public meet
ing in McDuffie county, in favor of
the restoration of the seat of gov
ernment to Milledgeville, and says :
“ The way is open to the people
of Georgia to change this matter,
if they desire it. Amendments
may be made to the Constitution
without calling a State Convention.
It is pretty generally conceded that
the people would not have voted
for a removal to Atlanta, if it had
been presented as a naked question.
But it was smuggled through as a
part of the new Constitution, which,
being sugarcoated with “relief”
falsely so-called, caused thousands
to vote for it, although they disap
proved many of its provisions.
“ Let the people of the various
counties hold primary meetings
and give an expression to their
views on the subject.”
Terrell Industrial Associa
tion. —We have received from S.
R. Weston, Secretary of this Asso
ciation, an invitation to visit their
first lair, to be held the 7th, Btli
and 9th of November. We shall
try to be on hand. We know the
people of Dawson and Terrell coun
ty ; and we know their first fair
will be handsomely “done.” The
Society has purchased beautiful
grounds iu the suburbs of the town,
and they are being fitted up with
every convenience for visitors and
exhibitors.
We hope many of our Randolph
people will visit this fair, and see
for themselves what it is doing for
our neighboring town and county
There is great alarm felt in the
Southern provinces of Fiance be
cause of the impossibility of mov
ing the old vintage, liariroad cars
are not available for the purpose.
In sixty days the new vintage will
be made, and there are neither bar
rels nor cellars to hold it. These
provinces are thus threatened with
a loss of §24,000,000, besides uni
versal stagnation in all the trades.
What a glorious place that would
be for some “old soakers” iu this
country. They could just swim in
it.

ed the following which were adop
ted:
“Whereas, The primary objeet of
this Convention is the general
awakening of the Church members
and people generally of the Dis
trict to the great importance of Sun
day Schools as a means of grace
which, if properly used may work
great good to the church and ac
complish much towards the estab
lishment of Christ’s Kingdom in
the world; therfore,
Resolved, Ist That we earnestly
recommend that every Minister in
charge of a station or circuit in the
bounds of this District, set apart
an early day to be devoted to a ser
mon upon the subject of Sunday
Schools, and eneourgo those in exis
tence to assist the ministry in their
extension.
Resolved, 2d. That in the organ
ization of Sunday Schools the su
perintendent should have an eye
especially to the religions qualifica
tions Os those appointed to teach,'
and that the appointment of uncon
verted persons to this important
station should be avoided.
Resolved, 3d, That we urge upon
the superintendents of our Sabbath
Schools the importance of great
care in the selection, of the litera
ture to be introduced into our Stm
day Schools; and this Convention
recommend greater diligence in ac
quainting our children with the
Sunday School papers, and that the
Southern Christian Advocate, our
Hymn Book, Discipline and the
Bible should have a most prominent
place in all Methodist Sunday
Schools.
Brother J. B. McGehee offered
the following resolutions, which
were adopted:
Resolved, That each Sabbath
School pupil on changing their
homes should be furnished by the
superintendent with a certificate of
membership.
Resolved, That Union Sabbath
Schools Should be discouraged
whereVer they conflict with the
wholesome regulation of our Dis
cipline, Which says: Let Sabbath
Schools be organized in every church
where we can find ten scholars.
Weston, Webster county,' was

this Convention next year.
On motion Convention adjourned,
with the Benediction.
E. F. Kirksey, Secy.
The list of delegates, and other
portions of the proceedings omit
ted in the above were published
last week— Eds. Appeal.
The Greenville (S. C.) Enter
prise says that nearly all the cases
under the Ku Klux act, tried before
the United Stales Court, result in
the acquittal, for lack of proof sat
isfactory to the j uries. J udge Bry
an, in the close of the investiga
tions, in discharging some of the
jurors who had been in attendance,
expressed himself as satisfied that
the juries in the several trials had
decided conscientiously, and paid a
noble tribute to the superiority of
law over unlicensed punishment
and outrage. The liberties and
rights and the lives and property
of men were protected by the Aviso
rules of trial, derived from the com
mon law, among whose maxims
was one that ever Judge was bound
to recognize before juries, that it is
better for ninety and nine guilty
men to escape, than for one inno
cent man to suffer.
Mixed Schools at tiie South.—
The mischievous attempt to estab
lish mixed schools of tho white and
colored in Louisiana has resulted,
as might have been anticipated,
most disastrously. The ill-feeling
created has destroyed the useful
ness of the schools for both white
and colored. The attendance is
greatly reduced, and the expense of
public instruction greatly increased.
In Morehouse Parish there arc
twelve schools, each having twelve
or fifteen pupils. Each school has a
teacher at S6O a month, so that the
180 pupils cost $8,640 per annum,
at the least.
Emigration to Georgia.—A
contract has been made by the Cen
tral Pennsylvania Railroad for the
building of four first class steamers,
to run between Philadelphia and
some port in Europe. These steam
ers are now jn the course of con
struction. This will materially aid
iu the transportation of emigrants
to this country, and it is to be hoped
that all organizations in our State
looking to the development of its
resources and best interests byjj in
ducing emigration to Georgia, will
bear this new enterprise in mind,
and seek to avoid the prejudicial
monopoly of New Y"ork in this mat
ter by directing their efforts into
this new channel. By efficient
agencies, established in Philadel
phia, anew and valuable stream of
emigration may be directed this
way. —Afew Era.
Another New York Horror.—
Another terrible mystery is per
plexing the New York detectives,
and promises to become of as ab
sorbing public interest as the trag
edy of the body in the trunk. On
Tuesday morning, 9th instant, the
body of a young, well dressed and
beautilul lady was found on the
Long Island beach, near Cold
Spring. There were evidences of
murder and perhaps outrage pre
ceding it. At the coroner’s inquest
nothing definite was ascertained,
except that one of the rings on the
lady’s fingers was engraved with
the initials J. H, It was surmised
that the deceased had been thrown
overboard from someone of the
yachts cruising the day before in
the harbor. Circumstances begin
to connect this tragedy with the
fate of Miss Jennie Hicks, the most
fashionionable dressmaker of Troy,
who unaccountably disappeared
from her home on Saturday, the
2d instant.
Prairie chickens, partridges,
turkeys, and ducks are said to be
very plentiful ibis season in the
West.
Startling Phenomena in Florida—A
Large Portion of Orange County
Changed to a Lake—Trees, Houses
and People Engulfed.
The last Palatka Herald has a
letter from Orange county, Fla.,
containing a thrilling narratin of
the sinking of a good portion of
Orange County and the formation
of a lake where it once stood. Af
ter relating the experience of one
man, be goes to another, Avhose ac
count is as follows:
More and more wonderful. Mr.
Alex. K. Foster, has just come in
Avith more marvelous and startling
reports. He says that on his way
from Orlando to Millionville, after
crossing Fort Metlin branch he left
the road to avoid the constant bog
ging to Avhich he was subjected.—
The safest place he thought Avould
be on the crown of a high black
jack ridge, running parallel with
the road, which lie accordingly
took.
After riding perhaps a mile his
horse commenced bogging and for
some distance it Avas questionable
Avhether he could get through, he
hoAvever, reached more solid foot
ing ; again he commenced bogging
at this time he noticed remarkable
and portentious sounds in his rear.
The bogging grew worse as he pro
gressed, until he had to dismount,
there seemed no escape for him,
both he and his horse were still
bogging. The sounds in bis rear
increased more and more and be
came more alarming and the route
in front more boggy—he dare not
stop, as this would have rendered
it impossible to have extricated
himself—he neither dare nor could
look behind him, his Avhole thought
and aim Avas to reach terri firraa.—
At last, after the most superhuman
exertions, both he and his horse ex
hausted to the most extreme de
gree, he reached feplid ground.—
Turning to examine into the cause
ot those fearful sounds in his rear,
he saw the most terrific and appall
ing sight it has ever been my
fate to listen to. The first thing
that attracted attention, Avas that
the trees Were moving, first a glra
tory motion of the top, then some
sinking gradually out of sight the
tops revolving more and more rap
idly as it sunk and disappeared,
others folloAving, and as they fell
revolving and describing arcs of a
circle against the sky.
Then the Avhole earth as far as
the eye could reach, sinking and
its place supplied by a Sea of wa
ters, rushing, seething boiling Avith
the noise of mighty cataracts, and
ever and anon, casting to the sur
face the roots or bodies of mighty
pines and oaks.
If I could only tell it to you in
the language of the awe stricken
Avitness. It must have been be
yond comparison, the most fearfully,
appalling and awe inspiring sight
ever Avitnessed. The horse and
man lie iioav panting at the memo
ry of the horrors they have so mi
raculously escaped.
AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER
People arc rushing from the
scene of disaster. Our camp is
croAvded with the terror stricken
inhabitants from the country in
our rear. Everybody is Avaiting
the foreboding and horrible expeo
tations.
They believe the day of judg
ment has come. This extraordina
ry phenomena appears more and
more extraordinary. The country
from two tothree miles from hereto
Lake Metlin, is entirely submerged
and is noAV one vast Lake. Noth
ing authoritative from beyond,
though rumors are ripe, that Orlan
do is swallowed up and the Avhole
chain of Lakes to Lake Conway
are now united and form an im
mense sea. We leave immediate
ly and in terror for our own fate.—

lie makes a Full and Free Con
fession —$29,000,000, at His
Mercy.
The following is a complete copy
of Major Hodge’s letter of confes
sion :
Washington, Sunday, September
10.—Gen. B. W. Brice—Sir: I
have to inform you that I am una
able to close my accounts, and that
I owe the frightful amount of §450,
000, which sum I have lost during
the last few years in stock specula
tions, going deeper and deeper in
the hope of retrieving myseU. .1
have no excuse or mitigation of my
course to offer, and propose to take
the full consequences of my sin. I
had thought a week ago of esca
ping from New York, but be
lieve I have done better in return
ing here to deliver myself up, as
I felt I was bound to do. I can, of
course, make no pretense of excuse
for the systematic deceit I have
practiced on you, and the advantage
I have taken of the special position
I have held, and feel that you espe
cially have cause to be justly inex
orable against me. I have been led
on by the infatuation that always
attends the course I entered on,
■hoping always to recover my loss
and conceal my crime.
I believe it really a relief to be
forced to a discovery, for I have
been in a hell on earth for years,
and the alternations of hope and
fear I have gone through, aud the
constant care to avoid detection,
were becoming too strong. I de
sire to turn over all the property I
have as a small set off against my
deficiency, and after giving any in
formation that will assist in settling
my accounts, or, if possible, in re
covering a portion of what I have
lost, I expect to take the full pun
ishment awarded for my offense.
In justice to two parties in this
city, through whom I have made
some speculations, I wish to say
that they are perfectly innocent of
any knowledge that I was using
public funds. There are small bal
ances with each of these parties to
my credit whenever accounts are
closed.
With one house there, whose
accounts I held subject to your or
der, I endeavored to induce them
to make good the amount lost with
them, which they knew Avas public
money, but they have refused. I
have been trying to make up my
mind to tljis confession for some
days, and was on the point of doing
so this afteraooftjn your office, but
I could not bring myself to say it
and AVanted time to write to my in
nocent Avife, whom this frightful in
formation Avill kill. God forgive
me for what I have done to her and
my children. All I ask from you
or the authorities is that if possible,
some small sum may be left her.—
I enclose the keys of my safe and
box containing all my accounts, etc.
My present vouchers, receipts, etc.,
are in the hands of my clerks, who
are all of them perfectly innocent
of any knoAvledge of my deficiency.
I shall remain at my house No. 423
K street, tdl informed of what ac
tion you have taken concerning me.
There is no fear I will go aAvay now.

Balloon Ascension.
THE AERONAUT DESCENDS IN THE
RIVER.
Decidedly the event of the sea
son was the balloon ascension of
Professor Reno, yesterday after
noon, in his air ship Tallulah.
At afew minutes after six o’clock,
the balloon being sufficiently infla
ted, was cast off from its moorings,
and the daring mronaut took his
flight upAvards towards tha clouds,
amid the deafening shouts of the
masses. After ascending quite a
respectable distance, sufficiently so,
at any rate, to avoid a collision with
the tidal wave, the upper current
was struck, when a northwest
course was pursued, and the cero
naut, with, his Tallulah, glided
through the air like a thing of life.
When over Broughton street the
balloon commenced to descend, and
the professor, evidently anticipa
ting the probability of alighting in
the river, commenced to prepare
himself for such an emergency by
throwing out coat, boots and hat.
As the balloon neared the river,
and the hundreds who w T ere watch
ing it with intense curiobity be
came aware that it Avould surely
fan in the river,there Avas one grand
rush for the bluff, and soon the
wharves avcto fairly thronged, the
colored portion crushing each oth
er in their fi antic haste to “see
urn.” Just opposite the Exchange
the balloon descended quite rapid
lj’, but most beautifully and grace
fully, directly into the river. When
within a few feet of the water, the
professor very adroitly SAViuig him
self out of the basket, and leaping
into the wator, struck out Avith a
bold and vigorous stroke, and clear
ed himself from all danger of being
entangled in the netting or suffoca
ted by the gas, which came up in a
huge puff, as of smoke from the
burning of loose poAvder, the in
stall t the balloon touched the wa
ter. Boats at once put off, and the
professor Avas taken ashore for a
change of clothing, while the bal
loon, which lay upon-the water like
a blanket, Avas secured and towed
ashore.— Advertiser.
