Steam Engines.
If the friends of the Augusta &
Knoxville Ilailroud intend to build this
road, it is time they were bestirring
themselves, else they may be forestalled.
Our friends over the river are showing
some signs of activity upon this subject,
and a meeting was held at Lowndesville,
S. C., on the Bth inst., for the purpose
of projecting a line from Anderson to
tap the Greenwood <0 Augusta near
Dorn’s Mine, in Abbeville County. It
was quite enthusiastic, and resolutions
were offered that the directors open
books at once for subscription, and that
application for a charter be made at the
next session of the Legislature, and that
a Convention in the interest of this en
terprise be called to meet on the 18th
in Anderson.
If this line should be built, the Au
gusta ct* Knoxville Railroad will be a
dead letter. We do not know whether
all this railroad talk will amount to a
lveely motor or not; but one thing we
do believe, and that is that Augusta
would much rather have the Carolina
route, traversing such a rich cotton
section, than the Georgia, because if
Anderson and Abbeville build this lino,
which will reach from the Blue Ridge
to the Savannah river near Augusta,
she will have no money to spend except
on the short distance from the river to
the city. Tennessee will carry the road
from the mountains west. So if* the
Augusta it* Knoxville Railroad is to be
built, it is high time to transfer it from
paper to dirt.
“On Tick.”
After the first Wednesday in Decem
ber next, the credit system will be dead
in Georgia. Up to that time the old
homestead stands, and when a man dies
under that his property that is left is
subject to his debts, and creditors,
although they may have to wait for a
long time, will get it in the end. Under
the new one debtors can swindle those
they owe world without end. But it
will work out all right. Nothing else
would ever have destroyed the credit
system, and a man that credits after the
new homestead is adopted, ought to and
will lose, as honesty has long since taken
its flight from the great Empire State of
the South.
BfecT We are sorry that we mentioned
anything about furnishing our subscri
bers with copies of the Constitution,
since we have failed to get it. We tele
graphed to Atlanta and elsewhere but
they were unable to supply us. We
would print it in our paper if we did
not believe that our subscribers would
prefer not to have it to the exclusion of
- other matter. We presume that our
readers are acquainted with its most im
portant features. However, our patrons
may be assured of a larger paper soon,
as we have already ordered press and
; .material.
Jfcgf W. Hope Hull, one of the
most distinguished lawyers of our State,
formerly of Athens but late of Augusta,
dropped dead in New York on the
night of the 14th inst. lie was found
lying on the pavements by the police.
His remains were interred in the Athens
cemetery on Sunday morning.

MiiKlrnl Convention.
Messrs. Editors : Please announce in
your paper that the Line Church. '2\ miles
north of Hartwell, requests the Ilart
County Singing Convention to convene with
her on Friday before the first Sunday in
November next. All interested will take
due notice of the change of time. The
constitution allows each Singing School.
Sabbath and day in which music is
luught representation; also, each choir
and society arc allowed representation.
We hope that Sabbath Schools anil Singing
Societies throughout the entire County will
send delegates, ns we think it greatly to
their interest to do so. Ministers of the
(Jospel, as far as practicable, are specially
invited to attend. We hope musicians in
adjoining counties will meet with us, and
Profs. .James G. Douthit, J. F. Anderson
and W. T. Mcl.ces, of Anderson, S. C\,
are specially invited to attend. Come all
who can, ami enjoy the music to its fullest
extent, and let those who expect to partic
ipate bring their hooks. “ Starry Crown ”
will he used on Sunday.
The papers of Athens, Toccoa, Carnes
ville Elbertou and Anderson, S. C., will
please copy. W. V'. Vickeky.
Trip to i'oM Water.
We, with our little family, paid a visit
to the neighborhood of Cold Water, Elbert
county, last Friday. We found the peo
ple happy and contented. Corn crops arc
looking well, the cotton crop the farmers
think will he cut off one-third at least.
There seems to he a large crop of sorghum
cane growing in this community, and sor
go mills are driving a profitable business.
This is a good neighborhood w ith fine lands,
splendid fruits and some of the cleverest
people in Georgia. Mr Fleming P. Thorn
ton has a large school here; and he evi
dentally is doing his duty as a teacher. We
saw some very small children who certainly
had made very great progress this term in
his school. They arc soon to build anew
church to take the place of the old Cold
Water Church. The new one is to be
more conveniently situated to the members
and more accessible to people in general.
Drs. Smith & Gay have a large practice for
miles around. Dr. 15. C. Smith keeps a
neat and well assorted store at the post
office, which is a great convenience to the
neighborhood, and we hope they show
their appreciation by giving him the liberal
patronage be deserves. The Sun, they
say, is a welcome visitor here, and we be
lieve them ; for what better proof could we
ask than the one given, viz : the continual
increase of our subscription list at that of
fice. Our visit did not dimmish it . for we
never refuse new names. We will close
by using an old saying “ the people live at
home and board at the same house.”
Good board it is, too. B.
T!ie Senate.
Chronicle <£■ Constitutionalist.
The election in California, resulting in a
Democratic triumph, and the certainty of
another Senator added in 1870 to the Dem
ocratic party, has caused the “lightning
calculators ” to present certain important
facts and figures for public delectation.
The present senate is coustituted as follows:
Republicans, 30; Democrats, 33; Inde
pendent. 1. We have reason to believe
that the recognition by the Senate of the
Hampton and Nicholls governments will
add to the Democratic column 3 more
names, making the list, thus revised : Re
publicans. 30 Democrats, 30; Independent,
1. The absence of Senator Morton will re
duce the Republicans to 33. If Honest
John Patterson should, as is not unlikely,
resign, be expelled or become a fugitive,
the Republicans can muster but 37. This
would leave the balance of power in the
hands of David Davis, who is the single
bona fide Independent in the Senate, the
part played by Hooth, of California being
the meanest sham and thinnest masque
rade.
The next Senate will be Democratic by
a fair majoriy. Democrats will succeed
Spencer from Alabama; Dorsey, from
Arkansas; Conover, from Florida; Pat
terson, from South Carolina, and Sargent,
from California. It is quite probable that
Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania. New York
and Illinois will substitute Democratic
Senators rice Stanley Matthews, O. I*.
Morton, Don Cameron, Roscoe Conkling
and Gen. Oglesby. The return of Califor
nia to her old moorings, politically, gives
occasion therefore to the calculation that
the Democracy are very formidable in the
present Senate, and will capture the next
by from seven to eleven majority. When
we think what a small and powerless rep
resentation the Democrats had in that
body after the war, and how steadily the
march to power, over more than Balkan
mountains, has been made, we see much
cause for congratulation, and anew hope
in the government of the people by the
people.
Tlio 4'npital Question.
Marietta, Journal.
The capital question has not been suf
ficiently agitated to cause much enthusi
asm either for Milledgeville or Atlanta, in
this section. There are many who look
upon the question as a matter of course,
that the capital will remain in Atlanta,
while there are others who favor Milledge
ville. It is to the interest of North Geor
gia however that the capital should remain
where it is, and we believe such will be
the verdict, unless something develops to
revolutionize public sentiment now un
mentioned. Ancient Milledgeville had the
capital sixty-four years, and now let pro
gressive North Georgia have it sixty-four
years and there will be some equality in
claims. There is no principle involved.
It’s a mere matter of preference, although
there are some making it a matter ofpreju
dice. Milledgeville only wants it for the
“bushels of money ” that will come with
the assembling of each session of the Leg
islature, and that is all that Atlanta wants
it for—neither place would contend for it
but for the prominence it gives, to the bene
fits that it confers. But to the people of
Georgia, it is a matter of convenience that
Atlanta retain it permanently; it is more
convenient, because more accessible l than
Milledgeville. It is just as economical for
one place as the other, for the State owns
capitol buildings and governor's mansions
in each place, but as Atlanta has become
widely known as the capital of Georgia, it
will not help matters one bit to confuse
this generally accepted information. Let
well enough al^uc.

Something Nkw Enukh tub Sux.—A new era is
dawning upon the life of woman. Hitherto she has
been called upon to suffer the ills of mankind and
her own besides. The frequent and distressing > r
regularities peculiar to her own sex have long been
to her the “direful spring of woes unnumbered.
In the mansion of the rich and the hovel of poverty
alike, woman has been the constant yet patient vic
tim of a thousand ills unknown to man—and these
without a remedy. “Oh. Lord, how long!'' in the
agony of her soul, hath she cried. But now the hoar
of her redemption is come. She will suffer no more,

Best Friend—is for sale by all respectable Druggists
