Ho 1S73. 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 arms thaw cold winks 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 nt metropolis of Carolina to ris'cmuie lor.wring isos rapidly going to o apparently in the y. The whitewash this •merge, bright and resplendent from her present ruins, and take a now and grand dejuirturc In tho rood to prosperity. THI somi CAROLINA 1IAII.KOAH. 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 MM VDT-MADK CITIES in the v impernniens times have the dead wood upon their inchoate rival*- Hence the slow progress of Brunswick. Port Boyal. as vet, has hardly uitoined to tho 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. To return from this digression.

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 night, pencils this concluding paragraph 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 derer resumes the editorial harness and falls into lino again. H. H. J. 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. Justice. 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, C. A. Kino. Tlic Extortions at Xingara.

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.
