The Repjiblipans cotilrul the Senate by eight mnjerity. The House is in the hands of Democ racy- It is claimed that Albany will not receive over 23,000 bales of cotton ,thj# yeason.

Enterprise, Fla., Nov 27, ’85 Editors Headlight—I notice in your paper of the ISth inst., an editorial i|> regard to Capt, St- Clair Abrams, of Orlando, Fla. You, no doubt, got vour inform, ntion from a telegram in the Jacksonville Titnes-Union, sent by a reporter of the Daily News. You should have consulted a la ter issue of that paper which contained the true facts in re gard to the affair between Cupt. St Clair Abrams and one Math ewg,'the once editor oftlje now defunct News. I have investi gated the whole affair, and hud that although a pistoi, and not a “little one,” os you stated, was drawn on Capt. Abrams, instead of “retreating,” he advanced on the editor of the now Wlefunct News, with no weapon except a horsewhip in his hand, which would havo been used had it not been for the interference of the city marshal, who saved the editor front a severe flogging. Capt, St, Clair Abrams is well- known throughout Florida, not only on account of his ability as a lawyer, hut no one over has or ever Will doubt his courage as a man. Tiioso .who know him would gssoon question the cour age of Leonidas or Uqnibal as that of S). Clair Abrams. Holms enemies it is true—who arc «1 ways ready to do him all the harm they can—-such is the case witli all great men. I am a friend to Capt St Clair Abrams, and dislike to seo an injustice dono him, therefore, you will pleasp give this letter the same notoriety yog did tho infamous telegram jp regard to that gen tlomnn, . Very respectfully, J. E. Alexander. F. S—Your paper is widely circulated through Florida and is well liked. J. E. A. We publish tho above with pleasure, and assure our corres pondent that we had no desire to misrepresent the facts in the case. Tiie editorial alluded to was merely a news-note, and had we the remotest idea that we wore doing injustice bv its pub lication it would (fever have ap poured in these columns. We know no fear, still, tbs Head light stands ready at any tjmo to correct an error that injures friend or stranger. Satan Rebuking Sin. A writer to a Radical paper of Toledo, Ohio, has recently been giving the world the bene fit of what he evidently consid ers a most sapient effusion. After ventilating himself at length on the subject of tlio South —a section which it would be safe to wager lie has never visited—he winds up asiollows; “When the people of the South will truly and unreservedly ac cept the result of the war; cease to harbor feelings of hate and revenge towards the Repub lican party; divide on the great questions of the day that are agitating the public mind; act as reasoning and thinking men, not being governed by their passions and prejudice; then and not till then may we hope for au era of good feeling between the sections,” If anything was wanting to prove that the writer of the above mentioned letter or essay, says the Savannah Times, knew nothing of what he was writin about this extract amply supplies the deficiency. The people of die South accepted, candidly and Unreservedly, the results of the war when they surrendered their arms at Appomalox, and ever siuoc then they have devoted themselves to building up the prosperity of themselves and their section and so adding to the wealth and greatness of the common country. So faros en tertaining feelings of hate to wards the Republican party is concerned, however, the writer speaks truthfully. The South does hate and despise most cordially the Republican party, and with good reason. Never lor a moment since the war ended has that party ceased to vjllify, malign and traduce tljo South on all occasions. Fo menting hate and hostility to wards our section has been, and is, the stock in trade of the par ty, and no falsehood against the south has over been too mon- trous for it to repeat and give currency to. The Republicans ought to havo learned from the experience of t|io late war that when the South is kicked she is apt to kick back, and kick hard. CRUM HOUSE, Homervilie, Ga.

The agitation in behalf qf r> railroad to connect Southern Georgia with Middle West Flori da continues. It is a matter of great importance to those sections of country. Distances are not of great importance. Tim ques tion is, how long does it take to gft tn a place? Fast trains and raai!? bring d.plant places close to qaety other, while slow traiu? and round-about routes make places jrhich are really near to gether very distant from' each other in the matter or communi cation. Savannah formerly derived substantial benefits from the trade of Middle 'Vest Florida, btR po enterprise or energy can overcome alow mails and slow transporta tion, The merchants it .Savan nah, as well gs the ^people of Thou guriUg, 'fallahasree, Monti- cello, and other places, are vital ly interested in having a road built to connect Sontn Georgia with Middle West Florida.
