Heading mat hr on every /*&7<’-«,4E8 Th« PMaif «f That anew ora lias dawned tqton the history of Dawson nono will dory who are familiar with recent develop ments. And although tho monster, tiro, has laid was to a large ] out ion of her htwhtcss area, tho t fleet has been to arottso her slumbering energies, ro flino her ambitions, quickon her bus iness perceptions and bring into action tho heretofore durmaut qualities for progress that seemed to charactoriw our pooplo. Ihi wo baso tliose stato inents on facts ? Wo will see. Is eking to the building up of eoci. ty and the advancement of our education nl interests, the petrp’o of our town and country have exhibited a noble spirit and without bickerings hnve como up to tho rescue as one man, ill aid of ed ucation, and such internal improve ments, as will render home attractive. Chief among the enterprises recently inaugurated in our midst is the Dis trict H igh School; and while it will be under the immediate control of the Methodist Church composing the Ainericus District, tho full support of which is pledged to it, still sectarian principles will not be promulgated by the Faculty but tho sons of men of whatever denomination are invited to share the instructions thereof. Meth odist money aloue did not secure the location of this school in our midst, nnd while it is a Methodist project citi zens of all denominations gave their money and influence that Dawson might becomo an oducational centre for this section of country. In conncc* tiou w ith this subject it is pleasing to announce the ununimous election as President of this Institution Prof. W. C Dodd who is a graduate el one oi tho first Colleges of tho South, an ac" complishcd ,-cholnr nnd a Christian gen" tlonian. The greater portion of his business life has been devoted to the pro ossion of teaching schools of high grade, in l having rt tired a few years ngo,from considerations unknown to ns> did not desire so rcsumo tho profes sion again Ho has yielded, however, to tho wishes of tho Board of Trustees and friends of the Institution, and will enter upon the duties of his office with that energy which characterizes him in •everything ho undortakos. The corps of teachers have not yet been chosen, but those who are fully com jietent will in duo time bo employed. It is tho intention of the Building Committee, composed of VV. C. Dodd, Rev. Howard MoGeheo and Dr. C. R, Mooro, all rcsidorts of our town, to have tho buildings so far advanced as to open tho school early next year— perhaps in January. With tho com pletion of this Institution, tho young men oi tho countiy can receive educa tions that will lit them for every posi tion in life. Again, wc liavo the'Owen Nelson Instituto, n Fomalo School of gratlo, provided over Ly l’ruf. J. K. Armbtrong, whose ability as a teacher io well known to thousands in this State and Alabama. With those two schools, what will bo the necessity lor bonding young iuou or young ladies from home to be educated ? Next in tho catalogue of enterprises is tho Terrell Industrial Association, a Joint Stock Company who have pur chased grounds, are erecting build ings, and otherwise preparing for a grand Fair, to begiu on tho 7th of November. We dare say there are more me chanics at work iu Dawson at tliis timo than at any time since it was in corporated as a town. The sound of trowel, saw and hammer are heard from centre to circumference, and progress seems to he the watchword. Our merchants and business men gen erally 6eem determined te add to Daw son’s reputation as a cheap market for goods of all kinds, a good market for cotton, 4c., ami withall the pros pect is brighter than ever before for Dawson to rival her sister cities in point of numbers and amount of bus iness done. We learn, indirectly, that Maj O. O. Ndson, tho energetic President of the Dawson Car Works, contemplates tho maanfacting of car wheels and fixtures as soon as the new railroads now under way shall give him easy access to the iron mines of Alabama. Such an establishment as tliis would bring other sturdy snechanics in our midst, who, as the history of other; towns indicates, would add a groat deal to the prosperity <*f tho place.— All things considered, wo think Daw son is on rising ground, and it only re main- for eur citizens to encourage any and every branch of industry for her to become and remain a great educa tor, a) and business center' tarOol. W. A. Huff, Mayor of the city of Macon, bus placed us under obligations for a complimentary pass to the Central City Fair Grouuds, du ring tho grand exhibition, commenc ing October 21 th, under tho direction ol the Georgia State Agricultural As sociation. The city of Mucon, or rath er Col. W. A. Hull, lias fitted up tile handsomest grounds, all in all, that can bo found in the South, and noth ing has been left undone that could be done to Tender visitors comfortable, and make their visit profitable in the points of pleasuro nnd tho gaining ol information that will be of vast im portance t<> all. The preparations have boon made on a grand scale, and none need stay away for fear of there being not room enough. Let every Georgian go, nnd show by their pres ence the respect that is duo to the of ficers of the State Agricultural Society, and honor Mayor Huff in Id unceas ing and never ending efforts to plear© the-taste and fancy of all. Tlt« KeMswH Wkf. We have heard the reason why the District school was located at Dawson, and tell it just ns we heard it, but can’t say that every word is true, but tfie story is plausible at least, aud not the first of the kind. After the Board of Trustees had or ganized, the Chairman announced that the Hoard was ready to receive pro posals from the different points, when one of the number remarked that Lumpkin wanted it but had nothing to offer in the way of “filthy lucre,*’ but had the most eligible, healthy and ap propriate place for the school, hence Lumpkin was the place. Americus thought that headquarters for Metho dism was centered in bor limits, that the placo could not be surpassed in point of hoalth, locality, etc., and be sides all this, would give seven thous and fivo hundred dollars. The friends of Cutlibert now come forward and show a bold front, speak of her advan tages in point of health, her going to be the great railroad centre of Southwest Georgia, was already tho Athens of this soction, and all that was necessa ry was to locate tho male school and then families could and would move to Cuthbert and be enabled to educate both boys and girls, and besides all of thoso extraordinary advantages 6he would give cloven thousand dollars and ten acres of the most elevated, best located lot of land, covered with the prettiest oak grove, and all in ul) the only place for such a school that was to bo found in S. W. Georgia.— Now comes Dawson, who had learnod a little better how to play hei hand, and did not let Cuthbert prep m as sho did before, and rattier defiantly says : “Dawson will givu thirteen thousand dollars and twenty acres of land, well situated, hcnutilul young ouk grove, plenty pine timber on the lund to put up necessary buildings, and tho sup port of tho entire community guaian tcod.” Just hero a good portion of tho Board seemed a little astonished, and thought surely it was all a mistake about there having boon a firo at Daw son, and one says : “We'.l, that surely is tho host bid, but it is said they have chills there ; how about that ? “Yes,’’ says a friend to Dnwsoi:, “we have some chills there, and tho chills are everywhere I have been in Southwest Georgia. The Conference has moved me around generally ; 1 have attended fewer funerals siuco I have been in Dawson than any other point, time and number of inhabitants considered. If they have the chills, it don’t kill.” Buys a brother, “flow is this mattor ot health to be set-tied ?” After a short pause, a brother says : “Mr. Chairman, I hear that Dr. , (we withhold his name, being terribly afraid of broom sticks), of Dawson, is bore ; we all know him and are willing to take his statement as to the health of Dawson, the number of deaths for past one, two or threo years. 1 pro pose that he be called in, and let us get his statement; then call in a Doc tor from Cutbl ert, and let him. give in his opinion as to health, number of deaths, &c., of Cuthbert.” The prop osition was agreed to, and Dr. —j —, of Dawson, sent for. The Doctor was announced as waiting at the outer door. “Ask him is,” says tho Chair man. In walks the Doctor, is seated, and all is quiet, not a word uttered- All seem to be at a loss as to whieh shall be the one to break silence. This state of utfairs could not be tolerated long, so up jumps one of tho honor able Board, and says: “Brethren, if that man can cure chills and kebp peo ple from dying in Dawson, there is no use to be afraid of Dawson ; therefore, I move the school be located at Daw sou.” Ilis motion was seconded, the vote taken, and nearly all the Board voted for Dawson. Now, we want it understood that we were not there, and if Cuthbert or anybody else can give a better or more I correct idea of the reasons why and wherefore, let him do it, or hereafter hold his league.

Florida papers contain an account of the total inundatiuu of Orange county, Florida, and that not only the earth, and its varied growth has been buried, but that the entire population perished, j The Savannah News thinks tho story incredible, and speak as follows of it: The story as related is incredible* but whether it is founded on truth, or is a canard, manufactured out of the whole cloth, we leave the realer to form his own judgement. It is a well known fact tliut a large portion of the peninsula of Florida is of compara tively recent formation, that it has for a basis coral aud rotten lime rock, that many of the riven and lakes have subterranean channels and out lets, and what are called lime-sinks, not unlike the phenomenon described by a writer, who gives his name as A. F. Sturges, are ol frequent occurrence. The late heavy and long continued rains, by which the earth has been thoroughly saturated and the subter ranean channels swolen, are calculated to produce subterranean changes. It is not impossible nor improbable that there may be some truth in the story from the Herald, though the facts are no doubt greatly exagerated. We have no idea that the bottom has fall en out of Orange county, nor that it has floated off in tne ocean. Tlse S'oil oh PrtMpert. Wa.bi ar 4, St ptember 15 No cot ton reports purpoung to have come from the Department of Agriculturo during the post month have been gen uine. The items in circulation are oft en contradictory in tboir tenor, and though assuming to be official, have had no origin in tho statistical data of that office. The returns of August and Septem ber include reports troui about four hundred cotton growing comities, rep resenting a very large proportion of the cotton area. Those for August point to an average condition of the crop almost idei tical with that of tho preceodieng report —the averages for Alabama aad Mississippi being the same, those of liouisianua, Arkansas and being higher, and those of the other cotton States lower. The State averages of the Septem ber report are somewhat lower than those of August, though tho principal depreciation occurs in the States which yield a small jxirtion of the crop, while the reduction is slight in the im portant district represented by the States of Georgia, Alabama, Mississ ippi and Louisianua. The per centago of the full condi tion of tho crop in the first week of September, as averaged from all at tainable dates, is thus stated : North Carolina, eighty-two jier cent; South Carolina, eighty; Georgia, seventy eight ; Florida, seventy live ; Alabama, eighty; Mississippi, eighty; Lou:si anna, seventy-seven ; Texas, eighty- , one ; Arkansas, ninety-fivo ; Teunossoo ninety-six. There uro reports of injuries by tho hull worm uml oaterpilla, mainly in Mississippi aud Louisianna, hut no ev idence that a general or very serious' loss from those insects is probable.— , The rust is common in tho Atlantic States, and, to some extent, on the Guif coast Droughts have been in- ( jurious to the CWolinas and Texas,! though tho reports of rain fall through the South indicate a fair supply of moistures—the distribution of which i has been somewhat more i a-qunl than than usual at ono point in Georgia.- Tho fall in August was nearly four teen inches, and in parts of Florida it amounted to twenty-threo inches.— These variable atmospheric con ditions have increased the prev- | alence of rust, and caused the destruc tion both of leaves and fruit. Those drawbacks, though greater than those reported in September of i last year, are act sufficiently serious tb excite apprehensions of a greatly do- i predated yield. They are reported each year in some portions of the cot-1 ton area. In the records of last year there was considerable complaint of damage to the cotton crop from rust, worms, and unfavorable August weather. • These facts do not point to an en largement of the expectations hitherto indulged in. If they ate reliable, the most favorable season could scarcely briDg a crop exceeding three and one third iniUion of bales, if the growing seasbn should be short or unfavorable, thiee millions would be a good result, and with a combination of unfavora ble cireurastaDces the product might be still further reduced. Governor Bullock, of Georgia, has gone to California, but nobody appears to know for what purpose. The Washington correspondence of the Louisville Ledger says : “Letters have also come to Washington in relation to. Bullock’s transactions, and the officials are beginning to believe that he has left his State and duties for the pur pose of evading just punishment for his many glaring frauds. The inves tigation now going on implicate him in the nicst iin famous transactions, and he must know that he cannot much longer escape condign punishment for bis acts.”— Sm, New*.

The amount of subscrip- tion to your road that you consider good and available, and from what points received? Aus. No subscriptions have been received from the fact that as it is con sidered essentially a Columbus enter prise, it was thought advisable t tat your city should first lead off with a subscription of $200,000, which it is believed would be lollowed by $150,- 000 from business mes, who are vitally interested in .the completion of the road, making $85(1,000 from Colum bus and her dozens. In i addition to this, it is known that the counties of Dougherty, Lee, Terrell, Webster, Stewart Schley, Marion, and Chatta hoochee, feel a deep interest in the enterprise and that they will subscribe liberally. Albany and Dawson will also subscribe to the extent of their means. There can be no doubt that, if Co lumbus leads off with $200,000, there will be no difficulty in securing a total subscription of at least $500,000. 7th Ques. When and at what point do you propose to begin work ? Ans It is proposed to commence work at Columbus as soon as practica ble after she has made her subscrip tion ; and af Albany and Dawson whenever they have mode their sub* scriptions. Bth Ques.

When Columbus has sub scribed, and Albuny aud Dawson mado their subscriptions, a meeting of the stockholders will be called and an elec tion held for permanent organization, in which case Columbus would have her pro rata proportion of Directors. | We fully appreciate tho motives prompting you, as the Representatives of tho City Council,, to learn all the | facts bearing upon the interests of Co lumbus, and are gratified at tbe op portunity thus offered to assure you, I the City Council, of the earnest de sire of this Company to co-oporato | with the city of Columbus and its bu siness men, in their effort to render themselves ind- pendent of the iuonop ! oly that is now grinding them. I ■ Id connection with this subject, wo . beg leave to quote from a letter from 1 our President, Col. Huibort, under date of July 24tli, in which he says: I In determining the necessity for the ! Albany and Coluuibus Railway in con -1 nection with the future cf Columbus, let us see what will be accomplished by its construction, the connections it will havo with competing lines from Albany to the Atlantic coast, and from Columbus to the west, and tho advan tages that will result therefrom to the merchants, eotton factors, and manu facturers of Columbus. | From Albany to the coast wo have three lines,, viz: the Southwestern, the j Brunswick and Albany, and the At lantic and-Gulf Railways. | Theso libef.competing for freight and travel between tho coast and Al bany, will- give the Albany and Co lumbus very'decided advantage over the route via Macon. Should I}he Brainbridgo, Cuthbert and Colurob.u# railway also be con structed &q»,Cuthbert to Columbus it will give yo» three competing lines to the coast. It may tra argued that the construc tion of the B. C. & C. would obviate the necessity of the Albany and Col umbus. Let us examine the question and see whether this assumption be cor rect The B. C. and C. is being construct ed three foot gauge, and when com pleted will be controlled and operated in the interest of the Brunswick and Albany rsriflwmy. Ton would then have two Hues to the, coast—one via Macon the other via Cuthbert Our experience teaches us that *here we have but two lines, the com petition exists in name only. Augusta, Macon and Atlanta have each two lines to the coast, but the rates are the same by either route. The comptietion consists simply in an agreement between the two lines up on a uniform rate, the competition be ing confined-entirely te their respec tive agents and solicitors and the dis patch with which freights are deliver ed to consignees. But let the third and shorter line en ter the field, acting as an entering wedge between tho two, and tho in variable result is a sharp competition between the throo lilies, lor tho busi ness which tho two have previously had the monopoly of, at arbitrary rates. In the laugunge of an old and trite adage, “two are company but three aro none.’’ The policy of tho two lines, tho ono via Macon, and the other via Cuthbert would ho tho establishment of uni form rates, in which caso tho shipper would havo simply a choice of routes, but without any competition in rates. Tho third line, the Albany and Co lumbus, would deliver its freights to tiro lino offering tho lowest rates tho result of which would ho a keen com petition between three lines lrorn Al bany to tho c» ■ t. It may he claimed that they migh’, anil would, agree upon uniform rates and would mnintaiu them iu self de fense. To this it may be replied, that Co lumbus, with hor large importations of dry goods, groceries, clothing, boots, shoes, drugs, hardware, &c., from the coast, and tho exportation of her 80,000 bales of cotton to the coast, would offer so powerful an in ducement in favor of competition, that it would be simply impossible for them to establish and maintain uni form or fixed rates.” With only two lines. Columbus would have simply a choice of routes, hut with three, she would have com peting and, consequently low rates. He says again; “The Columbus, and Albany will pass through the best portions of Southwest Georgia. No laie of tho same length in the whole South, com pleted or proposed, offers as many ad vantages lor both a through and local business. “It is estimated that each division of ten miles would of themselves offer a sufficient amount of business alone to support them, and that as a whole it would prove to be the best paying line of its length in the Bouth. “The route is an extremely favora ble one, offering every advantage for the construction of a cheap one, and consequently a paying one. “Its connection will be more numer ous and important than any line ot its length in the whole South. Connect ing at Albany with tho Southwestern via Macon for Savannah with the Brunswick and Albany for Savannah and Brunswick, and with the Atlantic and Gulf for Savannah, Brunswick and Florida, it will have remarkable advantages which cannot fail to re*, dound greatly to her benefit. Connec ting at Columbus with the North and South (narrow gauge) furnishing the shortest practicable line to Atlanta, Northwest Georgia, East and Middle Tennessee aud the Eastern States; connecting with tho Mobile and Gir ard, and the Western railways with Central, Western and South Alabama; connecting with the East Alabama and Cincinnati for Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati and the West, and with the Savannah and Memphis for the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers, and the wholo Northwest, it cannot fail to command a large and highly remuner ative business, making it one of the host paying roads in the whole South.” The distance from Columbus to Sa vannah and Brunswick, via tho Al bany and Columbus is compared with that via tho Brainbrido, Cutlibert and Columbus, via Cuthbert, will boas follows: Miles. Columbus to Albany, via the A. & C. 80 Albany to Brunswick, via the B. & A. 170 A total of 250 Columbus to Cuthbert, via B. C. & C. 60 Cuthbert to Albany, via the B. & A. 45 Albany to Brunswick, via the B. & A. 170 A total of 275 A difference of twenty-five miles in favor of tho Albany nnd Columbus, to Brunswick, and the some advantages to Savannah. Respectfully, E. Hut BElil' The last issue of the Palatka (Fla ) llerald contains an extraordinary ra nter to the effect that J. H. Gould, the recent revenue collector, whose allegod defalcation created such a stir in Bavannab was foully delt with by a party whom he had employed to pilot him over the Big Cypress in Florida. A Letter was received recently by Mr. James Reaves, a one arm man, of Calhoun, Georgia, postmarked “At lanta,” enclosing thirty cents in frac tional currency, accompanied with the words, “I stole a feed of corn from you during tho war.” Tho Germans of Texas are aroused in opposition to the enormities of Rad icalism, and are flocking to the Dem ocratic ranks. “In another year,” says the Victoria Advocate “there will not he a German in the Radical party in Texas.
