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.

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 ers n such words as these: “Learn that the present life is a prepa ration for and has a tendency to eternity.

Iu tbe fiist num - ber he called ihe editor of the rival paper “a dtabolicial liar, an oumitigated scoun drel, and a remorseless assassin.“ He aU luded to tlie Mayor in a cheerful para** jgr«*ph, as a corrnpt magistrate, whose tor 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 general character.** He announced nuder j the bead of ‘Social Gossip,’ that a certain young man bad been rejected tbe evening I before the lady of his love, and volun teered the information that it was “the wisest thing she could have done under the peculiar circumstance#,* 1 and hu re*ated bow, npon the preceding day he badheafd ariotheV youth named Alexander Jonea Pe* muik to * friend that if Anything tv it I make a man feel juicy about the heart, it it to ‘Make vet vet 1 to a pair >of silky colored eyes, by light in a clover field* tlrd regular time.

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.
