writer parsed over tho rsilnvul
from Savannah to tlxis dilapidate! old
citj last night* during a racing storm of
Kind and rain which flooded tho low
lands. The route lies throngh an alluvial
roffice, intersected by many swamps and
moraine* Abounding in mosquitoc* and
reptiles, and foil of malaria and noxious
exhalations. The rood teaches John’s
Island at one point, which proved the
grave yard to so many gallant Confeder
ates during the war. As in Liberty
county, the Africans saam to have every
thing their own way, as it is impossible,
save directly upon the sen shine, for the
white man to exist in this swampy coun
try, and absenteeism under the new rs-
0tms is fatal to all snoceaa in husbandry.
Where the Savannah river is creased,
nvx nut or tcnru vans
spans the oosy swamp, whose slimy re
cesses might have afforded a secure re
treat for ages to the descendants of Tom-a-
Chi-chi, and which wo venture tossy none
of Sherman's brigands would bare pene
trated until doomsday. It is the abode
of tho owl and alligator, tho frog and the
moccasin, and that innumerable world of
crawling creatures and animalouli winch
exist in tho stagnant waters and tropical
jungles of this wilderness.
At 5 a. it. we eroded the Ashley river,
adjacent to which, for miles in tho inte
rior. the phosphate deposits are found,
oft times cropping out upon the honks of
tho stream. Theao wonderful animal pe
trifaction. are

to this old city by tho sea, anil annually
attract thither a mnltitndo of foreign
ships, who carry the crude material even
across tho Atlantic to be ground and
manipulated at pleasure by the pur
chasers. The trade in manufactured
fertilizers also employs millions of cap
ital, and ia constantly increasing in its
dimensions. It is a merciful provision of
Providence, thus to some to tho relief of
on impoverished people in the darkest
hour of their ruin ana humiliation. The
sun had risen when wo drove up to this
comfortable resting place for tho trav
eler, which is situated in the very busi
ness centre of the city.
ran tkadk or cbabucston
has revived very little sa yet the present
season, and one merchant stud it was
duller than at any period since the war.
Tho sloop of Kip Von Winkle seems to
bavu overpowered the inhabitants, and
few indeed are the indications of thrift
and improvement to be observed. Still
the large accumulation of capital here is
doing good by its own natural momentum.
It is easy for money to make money if it
is not squandered, and gradually, despite
tho lack of enterprise in her citizens,
Charleston ia increasing her wealth.
This would never be known to the visitor,
howover, but for tho published statistics
of cotton receipts, and the returns of
wholesale dealers. Indeed one very saga
cious dtixen remarked, that the results of
bwl government hud taught the peopleto
heard and conceal their profits to screen
them from observation and taxation.
Anil most effectually has this been done.
In tne whole course of an extended ram
ble over the city, wc can call to mind but
few new buildings or improvements of con
sequence now in progress, while many
streets on the “Neck” resemble tottering
old rookeries, the houses rapic"
decay, and the people
most abject poverty,
brush, ami paint, ore utterly unknown,
and tho entire city looks dingy and for
lorn in tho extreme. This is the outlook
of Charleston, oven if sho is substantially
improving, and it reflects no credit upon
her.
WHOUUMI.K HOCSKS
are here, however, in large numbers, and
carry heavy stocks. The mystery is,
where tho customers como from. No
greater proof can l>o hod of the natural ad
vantages of the city,than that these estab
lishments continue to exist with so little
effort. A glance at their only city jour
nal, a must admirable publication, reveals
tho foot that tho merchants, with a few
honorable exceptions, are all hiding their
lights under a bushel. Tho same capital
in tho lionds of cats Yankees and more
nterprising men. would rapidly cause

To Mr. Selkirk, the general agent of
tho Great Southern Freight Line, wo are
under lasting obligations for special cour
tesies rendered. Accompanied by this
gentleman, tho writur visited the depot of
tho Northeast railroad ami tho wharf
property of tho South Carolina railroad.
This embrace.) a half mile of deep water
frontage, and more than sixty acres of
unreclaimod land iu the city. Hut their
buildings on the Bay, and tho track lead
ing to tho water's edge were destroyed
during the war and have never been re
built ; and now so groat is tho pressure
upon tho company from rival lines and
extraordinary outlays, that they are una
ble to restore theao improvements. Some
day, however, this property will prove a
princely investment to them. Tho Caro
lina read owns, in addition, numerous con
venient offices and warehouses, and no
loss than (Arse cotton yards, all of largo
extent and detached and separated from
each other by streets, which is a great
protection against fire.
A TRIANGULAR FI011T
is going on between the Carolina, Central
and Georgia railroads. Hie former can
not compete upon fair terms for the Ma
con and South Georgia tade, on account
of heavy loeal tariffs on the “Georgia.”
'What they want, and it would bo vastly
to the advantage of Macon, is a direct
conned.on with tho Macon and Augusta
read. Forty miles of new road would
effect this, and we should then haTo (wo
independent linci of communication with
the ocean via the Carolina end Port Boyal
railroads, Kttidea the Savannah river and
Central railroad, and the Mneoti and
Brunswick. Mr. Wadloy, it is said, by
his policy forced the building of tho Port
lloykl read, and now ho is a great sufferer
by it, as much of the cotton that once
went to 8avannah by the August.! and
Waynesboro reed goes over tho Port
Koval. Wo give these statements just
as received. The Peit Boyal is a lime
of contention between them aflC bat, with
all the advantages of its termination, the
want of capital must make the enterprise
labor under incalculable difficulties.—
Starting srs» with Savannah and Charles
ton. she would doubtless distance either
of them. But

in the v impernniens times have the dead
wood upon their inchoate rival*- Hence
the slow progress of Brunswick. Port

dignity of a village. Most heartily do we
wish that each and • very one of these fe
licitous commercial points, may yet be
come prosperous cities. Population and
capital alone are 'wonting to make them
so. At the North it would be a question
of a very brief period only. In the mean-
time all tho competing lines are a unit in
their opposition to the Central. Verily,
Mr. Watuey is at bav, and. like a porcu
pine, must present ids bristles in every
direction. In the natier let us hope that
tho claims of Macon will lie considered,
and the embargo upon her people be
made to give way.

THE NEWS AND COURIER.
The writer made a pleasant visit to the
editorial .sanctum or this sterling journal,
which is tho sprightly and able represen
tative of life* and progress, in this ancient
city. It will he remembered that the
t line-honored Courier still cxista with all
its hoary prestige and historic associa
tions in the combination of the News and
Courier. The editors are genial gentle
men, free from the vulgar practice of
personal diatribes and false insinuations
against contemporaries so often indulged
in by so-called wide-awake journals of
latter days. Their bearing to tho press
is dignified and courteous, while their
sheet gives unmistakable evidence of
ability, and genuino, substantial prosper,
ity.
That evening deponent left Charleston
after a severe sample of the autumnal
equinoxial gale, which almost threatened
one of the dreaded hurricanes of the coast,
and cresting Carolina to Augusta l>y

in our own fair .city. Here ends his gee-
sipping interviews with the reader by
flood and field, in village and city, at rest
and on the wring for the past four weeks.
With thanks for his patience, the wan

Tho Blakely Extension.
Blakely, Ga., September 8,1873.
Editor! Telegraph and Messenger: Our
people down here—especially tho town
folks—ore just now in a terrible stew
over tho news that they are not to get
tho railroad complctod here before an
other season—that of 1874. Well, it’s
enough to make them feel bad; but let's
bco how it is, and wheth' - or not we have
a right to complain.
About two years ago, at our earnest
solicitation, the Southwestern Kailmad
Company sent down a lot of surveyors to
Allsxny to go to work and find out tho
distance and probable cost of an exten
sion from Albany to Blakely. Well, they
came, did their work, and then, to bo cer
tain of the cost, ran two more lines, mak
ing throe in all, and sent or went up to
headquarters and reported. It was then
proposed to build tho road, and have it
completed to Blakely by tho first of Oc-
sober, 1873, provided tho citizens of
Blakely and Early county would give the
contractors $23,000, half to he paid down
as soon as the rood was completed to
Cliickasawhatchio creek, and tho balance
when Blakely was reached. Well, now
what ? The rood was not only completed
to Chickasawhatchio crook, and no money
paid hy us, but even to Arlington, some
20 miles nearer us, and still not a dollar
is paid o? tho subscription—and yet,
very strange to say, a great many of our
people, especially the business men, aTe
grumbling like our old grandmothers in
their dotage frequently do, because the
rood failed to come, and fret, fmne and
even curse tho name of tho Central and
Southwestern railroad. Wo can’t sec the
justice in this, for if there has been any
had faith anywhere it is certainly on the
port of our people, and not on that of the
company. As far a* I can see, the com
pany is "under no obligations whatever to
us to complete the road here until we
•■amply with our own part of the contract.
Tho rood has certainly not violated any
part of it; our citizens have evidently
violated all of theirs.
Arlington, 12 miles from Blakely, is
looking up considerably, and buildings
are going up rapidly—ltoth stores and
buildings—and she will evidently do a
heavy business this winter at tho expense
of Ulakuly, Fort Gaines, Cuthhcrt and
Morgan. But this is Blakely’s fault only.
This whole section has won blessed
with a fine corn, cane potato and pea
crop this year. As to cotton, I think it
will prove a great deal lietter than most
farmers are now willing to admit.
On account of railroad matters. Blakely
is now at a standstill, and | •:■• •;> • r-.y h..Id-
era can only ask heavy prices, but there
ore no buyers, and we opino there won’t
lio any found until tho “bulljine” comes
IteUomring nearer us—and then, if tho
thing should go on to Columbia. Ala.,
and wo only a way station, won’t wo feel
had—if not “worscr ?” More anon.

A Complaint.
Pulaski Cotton Mills. }
Hawxinsville, Ga., Sept. 0,1873. >
Editors Tdegraph and Messenger: As a
corrector of public nuisances, I appeal to
you to give publicity to a grievance to
which we are constantly subjected in this
place. We have only the “Southern and
Atlantic Telegraph” line from this point
to Macon and Savannah and other princi
pal cities in tho State. If we have im
portant business with smaller points
accessible only by the ''Western 'Union,”
while wo find no difficulty in sending our
messages, it ia utterly impossible to get
a reply, and I presume it is on account of
the cantcmptille littleness of the latter in
endeavoring by these means to do on in
jury to the former. For instance: J sent
a very important message to Athens on
yesterday, which went through without
trouble, and to save mo I can’t get a re
ply or ascertain why one is not sent.
They have my money and will giro me
no satisfaction.
A lady here this morning has a grand
daughter in Marietta very ill. telegraphed
to know how she was. sent the raessago
through without trouble, requested the
reply to be sent in core of the “Southern
and Atlantic,” Macon, and can get no re
ply by any means.
Can nothing be done to correct this
evil ? Must the public suffer on account
of the animosity of a corporation which
adopts such a pusillanimous courso to in
jure a rival ? If they intend to do this,
let them decline to receive messages from
them as well as to deliver them, and we
will then know how to act. By putting
these ideas into some shape and giving
publicity to them, and signing my name,
if you desire, you will obligo
Yours truly,

men, sometime) hit from the shoulder.

owns a small piece of ground. Here also
retides Mr. Frederick Smith, who tlain. -
a right of way over Miss Ka lman's
ground. The lady resisted- He at
tempted to force'his way, and put his
hand through the bar of the gate to open
it- To use his own words in court when
the ease was tried:
Mi.)3 Bndmsn bit straight ont from
the shoulder with her clenched fist, and
struck mo in the face.' She repeated this
three times. She also raised her foot,
and kicked mo more than once in the arm
—that was through the gate—bruising
me very much, and making me sore for a
week. Sho tln n seized my waUdngstick,
■■ ed it from me, and struck me sev
eral times on my back and shoulders. I
never touched her, but told her if I was
doing wrong she hod her remedy.
George Alford, farmer, shared no better
fate, for he, while assisting Mr. Smith,
received ‘Vine straight from the shoulder
of Mias Budman, on the mouth.” “Do
you know who yon bo hitting?” said the
farmer. “Yea,” said the lady. “’Twas
me,” said tho farmer. “I know it;” said
Miss Budman; “you have no business
here ; I’ll giro you another if you don’t
go. M ary, go and fetch my big knobbed
stick; I’ll show them whether they have
a right here.” They did not wait for the
knobbed stick, but retreated from the po
sition, and left the ladies victors on the
field.
Herald on Colfax.
The following analysis of the character
of Mr. Colfax points a moral in the New
York Herald. AVe give it because it
shows a shrewd insight into the standing
and means of success of a man who once
stood second to no one in popularity, but
who has fallen from his high estate. More
than any other, also, he has brought dis
credit upon religious professions, and has
become a mark by which men measure
with a sneer the fair outward life of those
who seem but what they really arc:
There are not nine in ten of tho men
who carefully nourished Mr. Colfax, and
led him from place to place until tho tips
of his fingers touched the diadem of the
Presidency, who did not know his true
valuo from the beginning. They knew
him to be false, insincere, limited in ca
pacity, absolutely selfish; seeing no aim,
end or principle bnt his personal ad
vancement; wearing his friends like
gloves, only to he thrown off when it
pleased him; industrious, shrewd, un
tiring ; who drank no wine and prayed in
public, and, calling these qualities vir
tues, wore them on his forehead like a
ilumc; in his statesmanship, seeking the
lighest places by the smallest ways,
never contributing an idea, a thought, on
aspiration or a generous sentiment to his
time, always lagging in his party ranks
when it was taking new ground; ready
to desert if disaster came; only too ready
to burr >* to tho front and hurrah and
claim tho honor of victory after the bat
tle was won; never so much of ji Bepub-
lican that ho was not quite willing to bo
a Democrat—simply a business politician
active business life. There are not,
we repeat, nine in ten of his followers
who aid not know him all the time a) the
world knows him now.

There is a knowing dog (and a roller
