Whether life be brght or drear,
I here's a message sweet and clear
Whispered down to everj ear—
Hear it.
[Atlanta Sun, j
The Brunswick and. xYlhany Railroad, j
The act granting State aid to the Bruns
wick a*id Albany Railroad, authorized the j
Governor to e dorse the first mortgage ,
bonds of the road to the extent of sls,- \
000 per mile, taking a first lien upon the j
read axed fiaaayDcaf.afc;also, in acnl ion ,
to Ini'-, to is-sae to tne road Tiitr WnTiTri c,
the State to the amount of £B,OOO per
mile, and taken as security the bonds of
the road to the extent of > 10,0 *0 per mile.
The indorsed bonds to which the road
would be entitled, if it were fully comple
ted, would be $3,3( 0,000; and the amount
of k t&te bonds to which it would be enti
tled if the road were finish and, would be
$1,880,000.
The law requires the Governor to issue '
and enao se these bonds as fast as evu*y!
ten miles are completed, and no faster.
The road is completed only to Albany—'
ftnd poorly finished at that—so we learn.'
Yet, as we showed a few days ago, the en-j
tire amount of bonds to which the road
would be entitled if the road were finished
both of endorsed and tate bonds, have all j
been, by order of the Governor, fully pre
paired, registered, executed and sealed
with the Great Seal of the tate, and de
livered to him. This was fully si t so th
in our columns a few days ago. We then
stated that w 0 did not know whether Bui- i
lock had delivered the bonds to Mr. Kim- 1
ball, or had used them unlawfully himself i
or not; but our opinion w 8 that some un
lawful use was intended, and that the law |
had been violated in having tnern issued
and delivered to him oy his order.
We learn fr m Dr. Angier, that he has
ascertained, officially, that the bonds are
not in the executive’s office, and no one
there knows where they are. J udge Cot
ting, the Secretary o* • tate, has, by o. -i
der of Bullock, executed, sealed and de
livered to him all the bonds, and they ci e ,
not in the Cover no’s office. Ait here are
they f Has Bollock turned them over to j
Mr. Kimball contrary to la*v ? lr so, have j
they been pawned or hypothecated aud |
money drav*n on them, or have tney been 1
sold ? These are important questions up
on which we can only have aa opinion at
present.
But, in addition to the law requiring the
bonds of the State to the extent of SB,-
000 per mile, t• be delivered to the road
only as fast as every ten miles a e built, it
j also requires bonds of he road to the
! amount of 5*10,000 per mile, or $2,350,900
; in the aggregate, to be deposited with the
! State Treasurer before a single State bond
lis delivered to the road. Only $650,000 of
* these bonds have been deposited v ith the
Treasu er.
Bull ck has absconded—has fled from
before the face of an outraged people—to
escape the just punishment of his crimes,
; and has, in some way, disposed of, issued
;or misused —so it seems to us—over s2 r
j Ooo,oou of bonds more than th# road is en
j titled to, as far as it is completed.
Probable Future ol’ the (Jottou Mar
ket-
The range of prices for cottou continue
to rule unusually low, considering th * po
sitiou of the staph* and tbe prospects <>f
supplies in the future. The quotations
are not now so b’gb as cue month since,
by or more, though there has beeu no
tnatcrial improvement jn tbe crops, and
the *upp!y of,pressing on the
maiket his not l>een large.
Livetpool, the great au ho. itv in the cot
ton market, is j'ist now loaded with East
India cotton ol last yeai‘s crop and pi ices
there ate depressed in c Tbe
low quotations transmitted from Liverpool
to ev«*ry quarter of the globe, exercises a
controlling influence upon prices in other
markets, and the staple therefore contiti*-
ties to sell at rates which roay be consid
ered aa disproportionately low in view of
the present prospects of supply aud de •
mand.
As wo have sai l bes »ro , the supply o*
Ehs I.id:a cotton offered in the Liverpool
and Continental markets at th's season of
the year, naturally exercises a bad effect
upon the American staple. This is more
stitctlv true this season, for »pinners lmd
provided liberal stocks of American cotton
to run in with the poorer grades, and are
therefore, more iudepeudant thau for years
past.
This depressing cause, however, is bnt
temporary, aud will be removed at an ear
ly dale, when cottons from this side of thp
A lautic will tak'* their true positions, aud
the circumstances certainly warrant much
higher fifties than those which now pro
vailed. ftie crop does not promise to ex
ceed 3,000,000 bales, though a late harvest
ruiglit euabte the planters to save move.
On the other hand, advices from India
are not N os an cucourngting chat actor by
any means. The low reoge of prices las,
season natuvallv deterred tbe ivy's from
. _v-u .vr.n «-.v« arrei'er c‘ftxoU, »m'o
the se isou proved veiy unpropilious. The
Bri' ish Commission reports 'liat the weatl -
er after the spring months proved too wet
for planting in the* centra! provinces
and Beraii, and since the seeds has b**en
put in the ground then* has Ih*« u entirely
too much dry weather, and in many sec
tions vegeiatiou is being burned np.
When these facts Are taken into consid
eration and alwayn is-made for the increas
ed consutnpliv • power of Europe this year
the position of the market appears very
strong, and the conclusion is forced upon
us that those engaged in tire cotton trade
will have the adraidage this season if
operating upon a rising market instead of
a falling one.
A Grisv<>us WaoNO —There is the sound**
est common sense in ihe following para

A Beautiful Incident. On a beauti
ful summer’s day, a clergyman w s called
I to proacli in a town in I-.diana, to a young
Episcopal congregation. At the close of
h s discourse, he addressed h sy >ung hear

“Learn that the present life is a prepa
ration for and has a tendency to eternity.
The present s linked to the future through
out cr* ari, n, in the vegetable, n the ani

“a dtabolicial liar, an oumitigated scoun

luded to tlie Mayor in a cheerful para**

ments from the remorse which festered iu
bi# soul were only surpassed by the phjs
iral agouy which is always the punishment
of tb# depraved and riotooa dcbaacbte.“
He soothed the feeling# of the postmaster
with ihe remark that “the speculations
of this official Dick Turpin can b« compared
to nothing but the terrific robberies com
mitted in tbe past by tbo#e dastardly buc
caneers wuom he so closely resembles in

The .Light of the Moon.
As the nioou’s axis is nearly perpendic
ular to'the plane of the ecliptic, she can
: scarcely have any change of seasons. But,
| what is still more rewarkaVm, one half tho
I moon has no darkness at all, while the otb
(■ er half has two weeks of light and (wo
j of darkness’ alternatively; the inhabitants,
if any of the first half, bask constantly in
; earthsliiue, without seeing th»‘ suu, whilst
i those of the second never see the earth at
all. For the earth redacts the light of tho
sun to the moon in the same manner as
the moon does to earth; therefore at the
time of conjunction, or new moon, her
further side must be enlightened by the
sun and the nearest half by the ear h: and
at the opposition of a full moon, one half
of her will be enlightened by the sun, but
,«he other half will be in total darkness.
To the luuariaus the earth seems tho lar
gest orb iu he universe; for it appeals to
them more than three t mes ho size of ihe
sun and thirteen times greater than tho
moon does to us—exhibiting similar phases
the moon is full, the earth is invisiblo to
them, and when ihe moon is new they will
see the earth full. The face pf the earth
appears to us permanent, to them it
presents very different appearences,
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, in tho
course of every twe. ty-four houi*s, suc
