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. JSs&r" The Elbertou Gazette doesn’t subscribe to our Gibson compliment. Thanks. 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.

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.
