Among the passengers oa the steamship City or Auguota,nowon her way to New York, in n young lady wltone singular adventure in traveling from Jacksonville to Sa vannah won for her the title or the lost woman. On Wednesday night Mise Martha Iiowti, accompanied hy her aister, left Jacksonville, oc cupying a a -ctlon In the Savannah slec|ier. They were destine! for Boston, and expected to sail by the steamer Onto City on Thursday af tvrnoon. Some time after leaving Jackson* ville Miss Howes asked a porter to escort her to the Cincinnati s'et-p er, in which' wero several friends destined to Cincinnati hy the way of Savannah, as they supposed. Leaving her Imnd-lmzgage, bonnet, puroe and lir-kets with her sifter, she stepped into the car where her trie-ids were and sat down. After a pleasant chat she called the por. ter, this time of the ear in which site was rilling, and asked him to lead tier back to the Savannah slee|>er. ••Tho Savannah sleeper, ma’am? Why, there's no Savannah ear on this train!" A look of snr prise canto over the young lady os sho realized her situation, and her fri. a Is w.-re equally as surprised, ns they supposed they were hound for Savannah also, the porter ox- plained that the Savannah sleeper had been left at Waycross to Ik- taken by the night train, and that they were being whirled on towards Albany. What to do 'ho young lady did not know. The train was then some distance beyond Way- cross, and too far to tide back by carriage in the night. She was without money or tickets, and knowing that her sister was una ware ol her whereabouts, and would lie concerned for her safety, sho ex plained tha circumstances to the conductor, and at the first stop a telegram was sent back to Way- cross sayihg that the would return ihero hy the first tram. Tho tele gram was llot received hy her sis ter, who came on to Savannah and relate') the circumstances so fur a-, she knew them to Messrs. Barnard & Richardson, agents of the Boston lino of steamers. Mr. Barnard at once became interested, ami set out to find the young lady. A telegram was sent in her name to Waycross, and to insure its tleliv cry'another was sent to the opera tor stating the circumstances, snd asking that the most -go be placed in Miss Howe's hands as quickly as possible. An hour latera reply was received that thcro was no such person in town. This aroused Mr. Barnard's interest still luriber, and he determined to find the young lady without fall. Being wholly unaware of her movements after the left her sister below Way- cross, he surmised that site had been carried past on tho Cincinnati sleeper and would reach Savannah by Hie way of Macon and the Cen tral rail rod. The ship by which she expected to sail was to leave at 4 o'clock, and in hopo of her arrival by Hie 3:25 from Macon, Mr. Bar ntrd made p:eparations to meet her upon her arrival at the Central depot with a carriage, so that t-he m'glit reach the ship without de lay. He told the story to Major Whitehead, of the Central, who, with a significant shake of the head, looked at Mr. Barnard to see Whether he wm in earnest. “She's skipped! There's a young man in the case,'' replied the major. Mr. Barnard assured Mm that this could not be, asd a telegram was sent to tbc conductor of the Macon train at Milieu to find outil Mias Howe was on board. The re* ply came back, “Not on train." Baffled in lids move, Agent Knapp, at Macon, was telegraphed a full description of Hie young lad v, and asked to keep a lookout for her. Mr. Knapp searched the city, and replied that there •'■ns no person answering to Miss Howe's description to be found. Tho ship was by this time ready to sail, and the young lady's sister was anxiously awaiting int lligcacc that ah» might lead to her recov ery. Ujion the' teceipt of Mr. Knapp's rep'y that be had been unable to gain any information of her whereabouts in Mtcon or along the road, the case began to look mysterious. Mr. Bernard assured bei sister that every eOort would be made to reach Miss Howes, and that abc would be sent by the next steamer. With Uiisaa. surance the sister left for Boston. Mr. Barnard at once continued Ms efforts to find tha young lady, and by repeated telegrams succeeded er at Chattanooga, where it was learned from the conductor that Mika Howes had been sent back to Wayerosa that morning. In the meantime tho interest of those en gaged in the search for the young lady bad heightened, and various theories were advanced. It was thought by some she bad fallen or jumped from the train and was kill* ed. and by others that t te matter bad licen pre-arranged and that she hod voluntarily left her sister and eloped. The telegram from the conductor at Chattanooga was not wholly rati-factory to those who believed that each was the case, and it was not until more, definite in formation had iteen obtained that they were convinced of tbc young lady'a discovery. Colonel Haines, of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, who had been acquainted with the cose, telegraphed the operator at Way* cross and learned that Miss Howes had been there, but bad gone on lo Brunswick, where she had friends. Lsler a telegram was received from Brunswick announcing her arrival there, and Hint she would reach Sa van nab on Friday .morning. The Friday morning train brought her to the city in company with a gal lant young German, who, npon learning of her adventure, assumed the role o( protector until he bad placed her in Mr. Barnard's care. She had been provided with mo.iet by her friends, and further than being wearied by a long day’s travel was as unconcerned about her safi tv as though she iiad been in her home. Thu anxiety of her friends had been greater than licrown. While tracking her the short dint-nee she had traveled, the telegraph had clicked her nuine over thousands of miles of wire, and nt the offlues whore inquiry had been made, and on board the trains where the por ters inquired, “Miss Howes on hoard?" she iiccnnie known as “the lo-t woman.” There aro probably lew incidents In travel which bet ter illustrato the possibilities of an error, and which show more clenrly the wonderful ptogri ss ofii.Vention than the one just told. The long night of M'ihs Howes from Way iiro-ts to Albany and return, her trip to Justtp and Brunswick and on to Savannah was made without tbc slightest embtriassment, and she wan given tho most courteous attention by the train officials by whom she whs pissed to her des tination. Upon arriving here she was driven to tho I'ulaski house, and in the afternoon was placed on board the City of Augusta en route to tier borne in tbo old bay state. in overhauling the Cincinnati sleep- Helping the New Orleans Exposition. N«w Yotlt llemtd. The bill loaning one million dol lars to tho World’s Industrial and Cotton l.'eotennial Exposition at New Orleans bus been passed by Congress and will doubtless he signed by the President. Tbe money is to be paid by the Trees urer of the United States in cer tain stipulated sum • on tbe draft ot tbe presidentand treasurer of tbe Exposition, and on tbe assurance of the subscription of Qve hundred thousand dollars by the itocknold era. As this latter subscribed capital is to be increased to a mil lion dollars^tnd one hundred thous and dollars have been subscribed by tbe city of New Orleans, tbe en terprise starts with two million, one hundred thousand dollars. In the case of the Centennial Exhibi tion at Philadelphia Congress ap propriated two million*, the city of Philadelphia a million and a half and tbe State of Pennsylvania one million dollars—more than double the sum subscribed for New Or leans. The New Orleans Exposi tion has lite advantage of general populaiity at the ontset, which the Philadelphia enterprise lacked; it will also benefit by all preceding experience, ana this it worth con siderable money to its management. Tbc Atlanta Colton Kx|>osilion resulted in widely extending tliv trade in Northern machinery and gricultural implements,and stimu lated invention in tbe direction or the production aod handling of cotton. Tbc display at New Or leans—to which that of Atlanta will have been as a Constantinople ba;ai- to the great Riiidan fair at Xijni Novgorod—should enor mously influence commerce, manu factures and agriculture through out the entire Booth. It is a praise worthy undertaking, and Congress has done well to aid in forwarding It. DA (TBO* DOTH- Dawson, May 27 Tbe Superior oourt is in session, Jadge John T. Clark presiding. Ilia honor’s charge to the grand jury waa a most forcible one, and it waa apparent to all that it made an impression for good upon tbe minds of those who heard it. Judge Clark is one of onr foremost judges, and in a life devoted to pnblie interests he has unselfishly performed ail of his high duties. The officers of tbo courtarealive to their interests, ami the venerable clerk of tho court, J. C. F. Clark, with an experience of thirty years in bis duties, though over seventy years of age, performs hit duties as skillfully as would a yonnger man. Terrell county can boat*, ol having one of the beat sheriffs in the State, W. N. Thornton, and so marked are hie high business char acteristics that he has been com. plimented upon bis efficiency by tbe judge upon tbe bench. Amcricus is reprvpre-tented rt this court by Simmons, Dodson and Hawkins. Smithvillc is repre sented by attorneys Wat wick and Watson. Albany by Judg« Yasou and Calhoun by Hon. C. B. Wooten and Col.

On yesterday the judge sentenced George Washington, colored, to lliv penitentiary for ton years, on Hie charge of burglary George has been one of these "conjuring dark ies," and lie conjured hiinsel! until lie gut into tho penitentiary. A most rightcon > verdict all say. Tbe court may bold two weeks, and it is expected that Judgo Wil lis, of the Cbattalioooliec circuit, will presido the second week. This court has a very efficient solicitor-general, J. H. Guorry, who is a “terror" to evil doers. Hu is, comparatively speaking, a young man, nevertheless, ho is old in his experience of the law.
