Bainbridge, Ga., August 4, 1874.— It Will Probably Be a Harrow Gagne- Colvmbus Enquirer-Sun. In speaking of the Chattanooga, Columbus and Florida railroad yester day morning, we gave the prospects for its immediate completion, the country through which it traverses, the benefits to be derived from it and the necessity of the road. While we may enlarge more fully upon the two last subjects at another time, there is another fact that is of this utmost significance in connection with the road. The present probability is that it will be a NARROW GAUGE or a gauge of three feet. The narrow gauge is a superior investment over the broad gauge, but this fact alone does not prompt selection of the former. It is the same as the system of roads now being inaugurated in Florida. There fore, one of the reasons why it will probably be adopted is that an exten sive system of narrow gauge roads are being adopted, extending from Talla- ahassee to Gainesville, thence south and west by Ocala, Leesburg, Tampa and Charlotte Harbor to the west coast of Florida ; and another from Gainesville to Palatka and from thence to Indian river. There are THREE FOLD REASONS why this road will probably adopt the narrow gauge system, in addition to what is enumerated above. First, the cost of construction is from 33 per cent, to 60 per cent, legs than the broad gauge ; second, the running expenses are at least 33 per cent, less; third, the narrow gauge more nearly corres ponds with the necessities of the coun try than the broad gauge road. Un all these points however, we will speak again as we merely wished tff call at tention to the fact that there is a proba bility that the road will use the narrow gauge system, OPINIONS OF THE PEOPLE. Yesterday a representative of this paper talked with a number of our prominent citizens in reference to this road, some of them who met Mr. S. G- McLendon, President of the Chatta nooga, Columbus and Florida railroad, and conversed with him about the pros pects of its early construction, etc. These gentlemen were much impressed with the benefits to be derived by the city, and are heartily in favor of any thing that will bring the railroad at an early day. Among otherswere our may or, and the president of a bunk, the leading men in some of our largest manufawturies, our largest capitalists and promiuet business men. Know ing that Judge W. H. Brannon, Presi dent of the Merchants and Mechanics bank, had been in conversation with the president of this railroad, we called on him at his office yesterday evening and asked his opinion of the enter prise. “I think it is the best road and will prove of more benefit to more peo ple than any other Columbus can get,” replied the judge, “and of course I heartily favor the movement.” He then went on to say : “I have not had an .•pportunity to talk with a great many of the business men since the article appeared in the‘Enquirer-Sun this morning, but the great Eagle and Phe- nix factory, the Muscogee Mills and other similar institutions are much elated with it. The Columbus Iron Works, the Empire Mills and others are enthusiastic at the hope that the road will be built.’ ‘You think, then, Judge, that the citi zens will favor it?’ ‘There is no question of that in my mind. Every industry and interest in Coiambus will be benefitted and there is perhaps not a business man in the city but what will hail its coming with pleasure and will give it all the ‘moral support they can. The President of the company tells me they want no money from ns, and l am satisfied that all the citizens are ready to give what ever encouragement they can.’ ‘Sinoe talking with Mr. McLendon, what do yon think of the prospects of the road being built F ‘The geogarpby of the country de mands the building of the road. I have seen for a long while that it was only a question of time for it to be bnilt, and I am persuaded that the time has come. These people in SouThwest Georgia and Florida must have a direct line of transportation to the northwest. The fruit and truck farms of Florida are of as much importance to that sec tion as the cotton crop is to this, and they must have a ready way to reach the market. Just think of it,’said he, ‘forty-acre fields of strawberries, orange trees by the hundreds of thousands; immense market garden ; hotels where the receipts are $500 per day—they must have a direct line of travel and for transportation of their products. There is no doubt in my mind as to the early building of the road.’ ‘The road will pay, then, you think ?’ ‘Yes, I certainly do. Taking it for granted that not a pound of freight should be received between Bainbridge and Columbus, which will not be the case, the fruitq and other Florida pro ducts shipped over the road will make it self-sustaiding. I have no objection to your saying 1 am heartily in favor of the enterprise.’ A CHAT WITH MR. JORDAN. Mr. G. Gunby Jordan, Secretary and Treasurer of the Eagle and Phenix Mills and also President of the Colum bus Board of Trade, bad a talk with Mr. McLendon, and we also approach ed him to see what be thought of the new road. ‘I have never given much thought to railroads being built,’ said Mr. Jor dan, ‘but this is one in which I feel a deep interest aod hope to see built in a short time. When the boom on the Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Columbu* road was started in 1870, I was in the meeting and went into it with much interest. If anybody under the sun but H. I. Kimball bad have been in charge of it, the road would have been built at that time. The people bad no confidence in him, and didn’t want to have their money squandered.’ ‘■You would like to see the road reach Columbus then ?’ *1 had rather see it built than any other road I could name. I think it is of so much importance that at the next meeting of our Board of Trade, which is now assuming a great deal of vitality, I shall call their attention to the enter prise and ask that they urge its com pletion to this city. They ask no money from us, but we should do what we can to give them encouragement aod aid in whatever way we can in facilities for entering the city/ ‘Put you down, then, as favoring the road V ‘By all manner os means. I am most heartily in facor of it, and in whatevei way I can be able to lend to anything that will spend its progress will not be slow to do so. Yes, put me down aa decidedly in favor of it/ MATOR GRIMES SPEAKS. Stepping into Mayor C B Grimes’ office we said to him : “I suppose you saw Mr McLendon, the president of the new road ?” ‘■No, I did not, but would like very much to have done so; particularly since reading the railroad article in the Euquir- er-Sun this morning. I read it with a great deal of interest, and there is a de cidedly hopeful outlook for our city in that direction.” “You. then, favor the building ef the road to Columbus?” “I am iu favor of anything that will add to the necessity and aid in the progress of the city, and in my opinion there is no thoroughfare that will go further toward this end than the new road of which yon spoke this rooming. I think we should nse eveiy effort to secure the building of the road and I will favor any move that has this purpose iu view.” “You are aware that they don’t ask os for money ?” “O, yes, I understand that, but as was suggested by your paper this morning, we should put no obstacle in theii way; on the contrary we should extend all the en couragement we can. I shall certainly do this as far as I can legitimately do so. We need the road and if there ’8 any way to get it, the advantage sboa^j not be lost.” WHAT JUDGE CRAWFORD SAYS. Judge Manin J. Crawford, associate jus tice of the supreme court of Geo>-g ; a is on a visit to his home in this city. Knowing with what superior judgment be is possess ed, and how mach an opinion from him is worth, we asked what he thought of the road. "It will bring a degree ef prosperity to the city that will be very beneficial. It will fire to Columbus the trade of a large sec tion of country which now goes Gsewhere and which cau*<asily be controlled when the road is built. I am familliar with the country through which the road will run and I speak by the book when I say it is a section where trad® is worth, something. The people are good people and this road will make them our neighbors.” “The road will benefit us you think ?” “There can certainly be but one opinion on that suhject. The citizens of the city will no doubt be very much gratified to know that there is promise of the baild’r.g of the road at an aarly day. I have thought for a loDg time this road would greatly benefit Columbus and prove a pay ing investment. It will be the grand thoroughfare from all the important places in the northwest to Florida and all the lower country. If Columbus consults her best interest she will do all that can be done in the way of extending encourage ment to the building of the road.” THE VIEWS OF MR SWIFT. Mr George P Swift, jr., one of our larg est warehouse and commission merchants, and also a large stockholder in tfce Musco gee Mills, had several conversations with Mr. McLendon during his visit to the city, and we called on him to see how he was impressed in reference to the road. “It has for a long time been one of my pet theories,” said Mr Swift, “that Colum bus could have no outlet- more beneficial than a road over the line that has been mapped out for the Chattanooga, Colum bus and Florida road. There is not a sin gle industry in the city that will not feel the good effects." “What do vou think about the prospects of the road being built?” “Since talking- with Mr. McLendon, I am very much encouraged. I am confi dent that they mean busidess, and, just as you stated, if the negotiations are not sat isfactory they will build it themselves. The fact is,” said he, “the road is a neces sity, in Southwest Georgia, aud the people there are anxious for it. They don’t like the idea of going a zig-zrg route of two or three hundred miles before they start to market with their produce, and this line obviates all that by giving a direct route. The fruit3 and vegetables of that section has grown to be of so much importance in the commercial world that the demands for the best market naturally forces the building of the road.” “You want the road built to Columbus?” “Yes, I had rather see this line built than any other, and I think we should do all we can to get it. By all means encourage it all you can.” •* OPINIONS OF OTHER3. We talked with a number of other promi nent citizens in reference to the building of the road.and as Judge Crawford truly said, we fonnd but one opinion expressed and that was that Columbus should give the projectors of this enterprise every encour agement to carry it forward. We have given the above conversations to show how the citizens feel toward it, and we are con fident there is not a business man in the city but what will be glad to see the road reach Col ambus. Paddling in Sing Sing Prison* Albany. April 21.—The Assembly com mittee investigating into the alleged aens- es at the Sing Sing prison examine several witnesses this afternoon. John Gray, a discharged prisoner, testified that he hsd been paddled by the principal keeper be cause he refused to work while sick. He received aboat eight or ten blows. The doctor bad refused to ■ excuse him from work. Dominick J Killorn, another ex-convict, testified t hat he had been paddled in the presence and by the order of the head keeper by a man named McCormick for short work in the laundry. He believed the doctor was not present From seven to ten blows were administered at intervals of about a minute. He felt the effects to the present time. During his second term he was put in a dark cell from Saturday until Monday with out a bed, and was given four ounces of food. He saw the person of a man who received forty blows of the paddle. The man could not sit down for four days. His back presented all the variegated colors of a rainbow The physical effect of paddling was weak, nesrof the lowerlimb3 and the spinel He denied the statement of the Sergeant a Arms of the Assembly that he demanded $50 for his attendance before the commit tee. John F. McMahon, a keeper, testified that prisoners had been paddled, but none severely. Paddling was necessary for the discipline of the prison. Dr. H. Barker (recalled) testified that he was always present when prisoners were pdadled. The paddling ceased when the prisoners agreed to work or conform to the rules of the prison. He treated only one for injuries from the effect of paddling He always stopped the paddling when he thought the prisoners had been sufficiently punished. State Execu tire Cornuif tew Call.

Democrrtic papers please copy Feet Wiped by an Emperor* At the Hofburg, the princioal palace of the Austrian Emperor, a ceremony took place on Thursday which has probably no parallel throughout all the States of Europe. It is an old and familiar event kuown as the “Green Thursday Feet Washing.” It took place, as usual, in the splendid “Hall of Ceremonies.” On each side of the hall was a table, each of twelve covers, one for the old men, the other for the old women. The palace was filled with dignitaries, including the Minsters, the Corps Diplomatique, and the various court officials. At 10:30 o'clock the old people, having received the sacrament in the court chapel, were brought to their seats at the table. They were all dressed in the old German costume, the dresses being presented by the Emperor. At 11 o’clock the clergymen conducting the cere mony appeared. They were followed by the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, and the Arch dukes and Archduchesses. The Emperor served the old men, who take the food home after the ceremony, while the Empress aod and the Crown Princess Stephanie and the Archduchesses setved the old women at their several tables. The characteristic part oi the ceremoay was the taking off a ’shoe and stocking from one foot ot each of the old people, after which the Emperor and Empress wiped the feet of tbe aged people with towels moistened from the golden ewer. After this their majesties huog a purse, containing 30 silver pieces round the neck of each of the old people. At the conclusion of the ceremony the latter were sent home to court carriages each w th a basket of provisions. Joe Brown. Quitman Free Press. Friend Hansell thinks we were mistaken in thesnrmise that Senator Brown was setting political triggers while in Thomas- ville recently. Well, may be so. We wouldn’t like to be brought into conrt to prove the charge, but if we are to be “had up” about it we will at once proceed to send for persons and papers, and if we don't make out a pretty good case we’ll pay the cost of trail. When it becomes possible for a fi3h to lire out of water, then k it may be possible that Joe Brown will discontinue his political intrigues. We say intrigues, for by no more respectable name are they worthy to be called. As a rale success gives respectability. Mr. Brown's case is an exception. He is look ed upon by friends and foes as entirely un reliable and dishonest in politics. Hence his movements at all times are watched with suspicion. If Mr. Brown was not talking politics in TbomasviUe it is our opinion that he was mocking the fellow who did. We are not mad about it, for we expect nc better from him. Nor is it our intention at this time to have him bang for it. We shall reserve our inal ienable rights, however, asm free American citizen, to a private opinion as to what punishment slionld have been meted him for crimes committed against the common wealth of Georgia in the dark day3 that are past. A physician says : ‘It is healthiest to eat a melon right in the field when it is picked.’ A LimeKiln clnb man writes ns that it is false.—Tbe healthiest way is to run, and not stay to eat it till you’re sure the farmer has called iq his dog and given up the pursuit. The Ralnx Decreulug. The countries of Sardinia and Sicily* once the granaries Italy, have suffered the penalty of their thoughtlessness in evading their forests. Two thonsand years ago these lands were celebrated for their wonderful productiveness, and were said to be the most beautiful in the world. In 1880 Humbolt visited Vensuela, and informed by the natives living in Aragary that they noticed, with great astonishment, that a lake which lay in the middle of tbe valley, had decreased in volume every year; the cause clearly tracked to the felling of a great forest of trees which grew on the surrounding mountains. In Ilungary periodical droughts are uni versally attributed to the annihilation of the forests. In Cairo, Lower Egypt, a great many years ago, rain fell but seldom—otily once in three or four years—but since the time of Mohom- med Ali thirty or more millions cf trees have been set or planted, and the result is now that the country has from thirty to forty rainy days in every year. When New England and the heavily timbered States of the Union were first settled, the rainfall greatly in excess of what it is since so much of the land has been cleared up. I'nhappincss at Home. No nnhappiness in life is equal to un happiness at home. . All other personal miseries can be better borne than the ter rible misfortune of domestic disunion, and none so completely demoralize the nature. The anguish of disease itself is modified, ameliorated, rendered blessed by the ten der touch, the dear presence of the sym pathetic beloved; and loss of fortune is not loss of happiness where family love is left. But the want of that love is not to be supplied by anything else on earth. Health, fortune, success, nothing has its full savor when the home is unhappy; and the greatest triumphs out of noors are of no avail to cheer the sinking heart when the misery within has to be encountered. To be supposed gifted with home happiness because held in public honor, and then go back, Clnderilla-like, to the ashes of the domestic hearth, there to sit in the midst of contention disunion and despaia—what life can equal the misery of this ? None; not even inprisonment, nor banishment, nor poverty nor ruin—nothing has the force of misery which lies in the fact of domestic discord. No wonder that strong men break down nnder the strain, that ardent women fling all social honor, all personal self-respect, and «elf-restraint to the winds, and go off into the wilderness to escape from the torture of such a life.—Home Journal, The Kind of a Man to Marry. Let us look at another case. A young man, receiving a small salary, determines to put asi le each, week a certain snm as a fonndation for the pleasant home he some time hoped to have. It forces him to make many sacrifices ; he eschews jewelry and canes, soda water and cigars, and carries an unperfumed handkerchief. When in this semi-rnstic plight, and wearing a suit (perfectly preserved) two seasons old, he calls on a maiden whose company he de sires, she looks with scorn at the dowdy dress, and is suddenly otherwise engaged. Discouraging as this may be, he plods on in the chosen path, and finally lays his heart before a quiet maiden who has read ; “I gee a man : I do not see his shabby dress, I see him in bis manliness ; I see his ax, I see his spade, I see the man that God has made. II such a man betore you stand, Give him your heart, give him your hand, * * k And thank yonr Maker tat such men : They make this earth young again.” The beginning of their wedded life is devoid of much of the splendor that attend ed the other pair, bat to them there is no rude awakening to misery and woe. Their affection having never been trifled away, but reserved, each for the other, proves a constant joy aod ever present delight. There will be very little need of a law prohibiting tbe immigration of Chinese when it is known that those now here are refssed employment. The immediate effect of an organization to oppose tbe employ ment of Chinese would be a movement of Chinese East Special rates coaid be made rith transportation companies to take them at a cost the Six Companies would advance, rather than lose the profits on the slaves. A good many of the Chinese have money-enongh to pay their own way. Theje is already a nuclens of Chinese in most of the Eastern citieswith which the Six Companies conld communicate, and thus provide their coolies with work. Boston, New York ann Philadelphia will soon have their Chinese qnartera, which will enable their citizens to study the Chinese character without making a journ ey to the Pacific Coast. We do net wish the East any harm, bat it is desirable that they should have some personal knowledge of tbe evil that has so long rested upon the Pacific Coast.—San Francisco Call (Ind). THE STEAMER -CITY OF FORD” BURRED J ^ T SEVERAL LIVES LOST—TWO WOMEN AND CHILDREN ROASTED TO DEATH L * Jacksonville Times, 24fA. ^ Between 3:30 and 4 o’clock this morn ing, there occurred one of the most shocking catastrophic* that has ever happened on the St. Johns river. Tber , Steamer City of Sanford, of the Inde pendent Line, while on her way down the river full ladened with passengers and freight was burned to the water’s edge, with a loss of at least nine lives and probably more. The place where the accident occur* red was Point LaNista, or Philips Point, aboat five miles above Jackson* ville. The fire is supposed to have origi nated in the wood buukers from a spark ■ from the furnace or from a lantern. The alarm was instantly-given, bat the flames gained such fearfully rapid head way that Captain Roberta saw there was no hope bnt to pnt the steamer’s - head to the bank, which he according ly did. He ran her aground in three . feet water, but the lower deck bad by that time become so hot that it had to be abandoned, and the engineer could not reach the engine-room to stop the machinery, so that the wheels kept re volving. The stern of the boat being lightest, she swung rouud with the current, and the wind carried the flames forward, so that the after-part of the boat was the place of safety. Thither the Gan tain and Purser conducted the passengers, and encouraged them to await rescuo from tbe rapidly approaching Bird. While thus waiting, both Mr. and Miss Ireland were crowded over into the water, and Miss Ireland was at once sacked under the wheel, and in imme diate danger of being drown-rl. Captain Roberts seeing her danger promptly jumped overboard and gallantly res cued her. While he was thus engaged, however, tho other ladies were burned or drowned. Purser .Steed was also pushed over board by the crowd, but swam ashore^ and at onee returned with a gang plank to tho rescue of the people in the water, who were widely calling for assistance. He thus saved Mr. Ireland and Mr, Smith, keeping them afloat until tho boat caine up. One thing that added to the danger of the unhappy persons in the river was that the current was so strong that if they lost their footing for a moment it carried them out into the channel. Everything was done that oonld be done under the circumstances, and the catastrophe is notably free from those illustrations of human Cowardice aod selfishness which so often characterize such scenes of hoiror. THE LOST. The following is a list of those knows to be lost; G. H. Downer, of Norwark ; he jumped overboard and was drowned. Mrs. Ireland and child. Mrs. Annie JR. Keep and son; they were found, and the body of Mrs. Keep, with the head burned off, has been removed. The little boy was burned to asbe* ap parently. Mrs. Keep was formerly Miss Rose, of St. Augustine. Her husband died on tfie 22d of last August. She is about thirty.two /Bars of age, and has three children, of whom the oldest, Brandon Greeley Keep, and aged eight, was burned. They are relatives of Mr. Greeley, of our city. Captain Sbortelle, of the schooner Magnolia. He lost his vessel three weeks ago oo the Mosquito Bar, and was in rather low spirits. Charles Price, nephew of the pilot aged sixteen years, drowned. Willie Brooks, son of the old pilot, aged 6even years, drowned. It is feared that there are others, bat no others wer^> known at the time of going to press. In a primary school the teacher un dertook to convey to her pupils an idea of the ose of the hyphen.
