FPSwRcI -'ftOnW/T-WBD- Columbus Enquirer-Sun; Tho remarkablo success achieved by this city may best bo seen by a comparison of the business of tbo present with that of 1805 and a few years thereafter, when the new Columbus began to lake on new life. The first year after tho war the receipts of cotton amounted to 31,486 bales, tho following year to 44,725, and in 1867-68 reached 86,685. The year following the re ceipts dropped down to 48,600,ami in 1871-72 to 40,650. Five years liter the receipts again increased, reaching 72,534. In 1880-81 the receipts had steadily inercased until they reached 112,431, and at no timo have they foil short of 100,000 until last year, when they fell back, owing to a short crop, to 82,581. This is easily explained, when it is remembered that there was a falling olf in the total crop of 1,818,746 bales. It will thus be seen that the cotton trade in Col umbus has more than tripled itself since the war. A Journalistic Vacancy. N.» York SLr.

The proprietor writes; “The salary, $16 a week, may sound •mall, but, being Inj the center of an agricultural .district, we are constantly receiving large gifts of potatoes, grapes, delicious peas, and indeed, everything in season, which, after being duly noticed, would become your perquisites.

The population of the three towns is about S‘,600— the value of. their real estate about half a million dollars. Rome’s public school system,, recently established, has aroused .till* agi tation, and it is probable that the result will bo annexation at an early day.
