At the time the article was penned we yere not aware who was the originator of the but we have since learned tha£ it was the Hon. B. F.

Calhoun and Baker Counties. —We have just returned from a wading trip through the counties above named and can safely say they are blest with the largest amount of water privileges of any lands we have bt-held lately. They are certainly in a bet ter Condi for the purposes of navigation, fishing,’ and .swimming than they are for cultivation. The farmers are greatly be hind, owing to the immense quantities of rain that has fallen during the present and past month. The freedmen are work ing well, so far as could learn in both coun ties. We were glad to find, that the cit izens did not have cotton on the brain very extensively, but were planting corn enough to bread them. The Bainbridge, Ccthbert & Columbus Railroad -- The bill gritting the aid of the State to this curions project, received the final endoreement of the Legislature yet,* terday, and was sent to the Governor.— Albany News. We ask the News why it is so very cu rious ? Is it “curious" that the South Georgia and Florida Railroad should be built. We certainly do not think; that the News will acknowledge that there is any thing “curious” about this. Though it is “curious" to us, that the News who has aK ways professed to keep a watchful eye on the funds of the State, fthould say nothing in relation to the State’s paying over three millions of dollars to the Brunswick and Albany road when only $54,000 and inter est was due. But the News like many others; is inclined to be mum, wheu its im mediate section is directly interested, and quietly withdraws—and says; “well wo do not conscientiously believe the State ought to pay this large amount of money for the Brunswick road, yet, we will be benefited by it, so drive on your applo-cart we will lie low.” But as soon as a bill is passed granting a charter to any road that does not materially - benefit Albany, with the Nftcs it is very “curious." Colonel, these “curious” things will happen sometimes, but if the road, is ev.er built, we hope it won’t injure your flourishingliitle city in the least Charles Sumner. —The Easton (Penn ,) Argus, speaks thus, of this delectable, po litical, inniquitious, reprobate, and bis sensible widow ; It is said that* Mrs. Charles Sumner, formenrly the widow Hooper, and now grazing somewhere in the Alps as the widow of the Senator from Mas sachusetts, has sent a handsome cash pre sent across the water to the relict of the lets Preston S.

Mrs. President Grant. —Mrs. Grant is thus penographed by one .who saw her at the inauguration ball: “j had never seen Mrs. Grant, except as portrayed by a photographer, but I would wot have recognized her ’ from any photo graph I bad ever seen. My conceived idea was, I found,A>y the mere glance which I had in passing her, totally wrong. Iu the first piace, she is not tall—not so tall as the General, as I have seen stated; but, on the contrary, short and inclined to embonpoint. Her face is not ruuikd, and not an oval; her features are not sharp and prominent, as I have been- led to believe. She hats the same timid, retiring expression, if l can use what is manifestly improper, but very expressive of- my meaning. Mrs* Grant was drdssed in white satin, with double overskirt, edged with pointed lace; her hair pkefnly and neatly dressed, with a pink rose or two.” Why Folks read Locals. —We get from an exchange the reasons given by an old “local” who ought'to konw all about things pertaining to this department, who says “the people read items of local interest for reasons as opposite as man and wife, A reads about a fight because he was there and saw it; B because be was’t there, and didn’t; C because he had heard about it; D because he had’t, but wanted to; while those who had a hand in it wanted to know how ne»r the truth the editor had got” We migl t give a stronger reason than all these, the desire to see their name in print apd to know what the papers would say about us if we did happen to be mentioned.
