Tbe Democrats in tbe Kentneky legislature have nominated Blaek burn as their candidate tor United 8tales Senator. Fresh cucumbers, tbs first of the season in New York, raised nnder glass .bring fifty cents apiece. Fresh tomatoes fetch |1 a dozen in tbe Our Anderson vllle correspondent talks sensibly about immigration, It is time that Georgia took some steps to secure an industrious olass of immigrants to fill up ibe big country we have. f Fifteen senators employ their sons as clerks at 96 a day. It is thongbt that at least twenty more senators will, under their resolu tion to provide fhemtelves with private secretaries at poblio ex- pense, appoint tbelr sons. Several will appoint their daughters, and one senator, not having a son or daughter, will, it is said, make bis wills his private secretary. The Eatonton Messenger gives expression to tbe following correct opinions: “The future of this State depends largely upon the establish, meat of home industries and manu- fhetures, and a school of technology would tend more to this end than any other one thing. To-day the best paying positions of tbe South an beld by Northerners, whose me chanical schools have fitted them for their work. This is all wrong. Give Southern boys a chance. Es tablish a school ol technology." — m • - mt* We are informed that if a proper effort ie made by tho peoplo of . Americus the Buena Vista railroad oan be secured to this oity. Tbe effort ought to be made, and made at once. Wo believe the people of Americus will make a mistake that they will regret if they allow this opportunity to pass. The people af Marion and Sohley counties are determined to have railroad com munication, and it Is, only a ques tion of time when they will get It. IT Americus stands aloof at thik time it will ornate such a feeling aaong the people of those counties' that it will prevent them from trad ing with os; while by aiding them now they will not only bo bound to is by ties of iron, hut also letln, ranks next to sea island in length and fineness of staple, as well as ip silkiness, but has not tho bright oolor of the latter variety. 35SKfr" w ™ oo has bssnupim as800, while tho Egyptian is not span above 160.

According to .the report of the engineer as per the preliminary sutvev, tbe grading from here to Andereonville will be Eighteen Thousand Dollars, with the belief that a reduction of 10 per cent in locating the road can be made. The ooet from hero to Bueue Vista, according to hla re port, will be about tbe same. If Schley and Marlon cannot build the road at these figures, when will we build one f The surveying party will com- inoncc at this place to-morrow to locate the road bed, etc. Advcr- tisemeuta will be sent to several papers, asking for bids to grade and crosstic tbe road. Everybody here is jubilant over the prospccta, which are indeed flattering. FROM HMITUVILLE. Smituville, Feb. 7.—Note great deal of gnane has been received here this season, as yet,so we here been informed. Mr. James M. Spann, Johnson Bros, polite young salesman, baa recovered from bis sickness. Tbe free show given by the tight rope performer was largely attend ed yesterday afternoon. Tbe show man drew a good boose lest night, alto, chargings small admission fee. Mrs. Joesey, sister-in-law of Rev. J. n. Cawood, and late of Raftn. la, bos rented the Andrew Miller place and will moke her home here. Her two daughters, Mieses Lerene Fits John Porter sat in tbe gallery for more than eight ho-irs, says the correspondent of the Bos ton Advertiser, Saturday afternoon and evening. At the close he re- ccivcd the congratulation of scores of friends that, after all these years, the House of Represent a- lives, by more than 100 major- ity, had done all in its power to make reparation for tbe injustice toward him for years. It was a proud moment for him. His eyes glistened with old time lustre os be looked over tbe balcony and beard tbe verdict given. All day long tbe parliamentary battle bad raged. The spectators could almost see the clash of armies and hear tbe thunder of artillery, as they were depicted by the hot debaters. Ma rengo, Balaklava, Bannockburn end all tbe greet battles of history warn appealed to for Hi nitrations. The handling of troops, tbe heed- long charge, duel of artillery, tbe surges of victory and defeat could almost be felt as the veterans of the war fonght thsir battles ever again, charging again end again to restore or to forther disgrace Porter. On the Republican side the party whip was cracked' to keep this one man down. The Southerners were taunted with being rebels, Grant was belittled. Schofield nccuscd, Porter hissed at, in hope of makiug n little party capital at the expense of this one old man. Bnt the line of North and South, of Union nnd Rebel soldiers, could not be thus drawn. Federal soldiers plead ed Porter’s cause, and Republicans voted for his restoration. Among Porter’s friend were 19 who had fought in the Union army—3 gen erals, 7 colonels, 3 captains, aud G privates. Ofthe New England mom- bers, 13 were for 'Porter and but 9 against There Is no evidence that tho prehistoric races of America had anv knowledge of iron,or that they know how to manufacture bronze.
