EADS’ PLAHS. '
Keren Thousand Miles In Distance to
bo Annihilated—How a Steamship
Will Look Perched Up on Stilts.
Yesterday,’says the St. Louis Chroni
cle, we gave an outline of what Captain.
Eads proposes to accomplish in Ins trip to
Mexico In behalf of his inter-oceanic
railroad project for tlio transportation of
shipping across the isthmus. The impor
tance of this enterprise may be understood
from the fact that it would virtually bring
8au Francisco seven thousand miles near
er to New York and London, so far as
sea going freights arc concerned, and tho
saving on the wheat shipments of Cali
fornia alone, it is estimated, would reach
$1,000,000 per annum. Such being the
case, it will be worth while to look into the
plan of this already celebrated engineer
ing project and examine some of the more
interesting features oi the work. Briefly,
it is proposed to construct a railway, or
broad road-bed of easy grades, and with
the least possible change of direction,
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
The road is to be equipped with im
uicnse platform cars or trucks on which
Uie largest vessels may be taken, the cars
being run down in a dock or loading
dock in which the vessel can bo floated
over it and held in position as in a dry
dock. Onco loaded the car is to be drawn
over the road by steam power.
In Capt. Eads’ office there is a hand
some drawing of the car and vessel as
they will appear in transit. If the reader
can imagine a huge platform, more than
a block in length, covering more than a
third of an acre in area, resting on i
w ilderness of wheels, and supporting th
towering bulk of a massive steamship,
whose graceful sidei are everywhere
shoved up as though on stilts, lie will
have a pretty accurate Idea of what tho
oucer vehicle and its load look like. How
to load lids great weight, hold it in place,
support it and draw it over the track were
the * engineering problems which Capt.
Eads undertook to solve.
one of the first objections presented to
the mind by this plan is the great weight
to be home by the road bed. In answer
to this, Capt. Eads states that the “cradle”
for a ship and cargo weighing 0,000 tons
would be about 350 feet long, and would
rest on 112 rails lour feet apart. This
would give a bearing 44 feet wide by 300
feet long, which Is 15,400 square feet, or
7s0 pounds to each square foot of road
bed. A trotting horse leaves bnt a slight
track on a dirt road. Its weight is borne
alternately upon two feet only. If we
assume the area of each shoe to be 12
iuches the weight of the animal must rest
at each step upon bnt 24 square inches of
earth, or onc-sixth of a foot. If the
weight of the horse be 1,000 pounds, he
would press the earth at each step with
nearly eight times as much force per
square foot as the largest ship to be trans-
th.rted. Yet it scarcely leaves the imprint
ol' its shoe, though to the weight of the
hone is to be added the force or sudden
blow with which it strikes the earth. On
each of the 12 rails under a cradle 3o0
feet long there would be llo wheels.
Each rail would-support onc-twe lfth of
e whole weight, or 500 tons, giving 4*
ns n each wheel The drivers of a large
the
freight engino at rest sustain a pressure of
li tons each, so no heavier ties and rails
wvuld be needed than on ordinary rail
roads. As regards keeping the rails otrao
even level, no greater inequality than one
inch need occur, and this could always bo
guarded against and rendered harmless by
placing over each w ) ieel f
steel spring that would admit of several
"''in flation to the oft-expressed doubts
as to the possibility of carrying the ship
nging grade
over changing grades and curves without
straining and opening her scams, the Cap
tain says some of the ablest engineers in
I this country have declared unhesitatingly
that loaded vessels may be thus carried In
perfect safety. Many imagine tliat when
in its element a vessel lias the pressure of
the water constantly outside to counteract
the pressure of the cargo within. In this
they are mistaken. In a rough sea there
are times when every part of a vessel is
subjected to a fa r greater strain than
would ever occur on ashiprailway.
There are times, too, when the resist
ance of water is wholly withdrawn from
diiferent parts of Ilie vessel; when brat
the bow, then the stem U wholly out of
water. A vessel tliat could not ride with
safety on Uie proposed railw ay is unsca-
woithy. To avoid bending the ship In
changing from one grade to another the
cradle would ho run on to what may be
called a tipping table. This would rest
m a fulcrum at the middle and on hy
draulic rams at each end, so that the enos
c .uld be raised or lowered to conform to
ti e diiferent grades. To avoid curves,
: n otables would he placed at necessary
points in tlic main track. Captain
l ies not think the problem of sustaining
the ship linnly in the “cradle” presents
my difficulties that would justify a re
nt to the plan or carrying It on a tank
of water, as that would increase the
Weight to be carried fully one-half, and
lire added weight would be very trouble-
s rws u» manage by reason of Its mobility.
With a sufficient number of tracks and
'.heels there will be such a distribution
. i the weight that the largest vessel would
r.ipose no greater weight on the rails
c.y uiven point than those imposed
h uidntd times a'day on the ^ib of every
; st-cLass road in the country. Each
,, irtrd would be made entirely separate
I'.id Independent, so that In .ease of ureak-
iae any wheel could be taken out with-
, tt affecting others. Derailment of Uie
oars would bo next to impossible.
The “cradle” upon which .tlie vessel
•-st# may be called a dry dock placed on
wlieehbTZhis cradle or dock upon wheels
will bn backed down upon the railway on
x grade or about one foot in 100, until it
. aches a sufficient depth of water to on
Pile the vessel to be floated upon “•
When the shin is in position she will be
?.ifely secured over the cradle, and then
i:io car will be drawn slowly forward.
As the water becomes shallow the ves-
- 1 will naturally lake her position upon
'.he cradle. The support will then be
!:iovcd up Against her hull while atill
.1 float so that she cannot move upon the
cradle, and she will tlien be drawn up
die incline to the level track. Here two
. nglncs will bo attached and tbe vessel
will at onco bo started on her Journey.

a still heller one can be obtained, and for

Reunion of Cutts* Battalion.
Americus, Oct. 28,1880.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: At
ten o’clock to-day the surviving members
of what was known during the war as
“Culls’ Battalion of Artillery,” assembled
iu the courthouse. The design of this
meeting was of a twofold purpose. First,
to enable tho survivors to meet once
gain, and “together fight their battle
’er.” Secondly, to reorganize the “Sum
ter Light Artillery.” Proper steps were
taken to consummate tlie second pait of
the programme at an eaily day.
There were 120 members of the old
battalion present to-day, and Uie hearts of
many more were with them. Letters
were received from Captain John Mil-
ledge, Captain Robert Falligaut, Lieuten
ant B. James and Sergeant J. J. Harris
and others, expressing a desire to be
present and take part in the exercises, but
were detained by other engagements.
Col. A. S. Cutis’ address of welcome was
earnest and touching. He referred to tlie
past services of the command, their strug
gles and triab and triumplis. While re-
[orring to those who stood shoulder
to shoulder with them—brave and noble
companions—“who were not presept but
accounted for,” tears trickled down from
‘eyes unused to weep” on every side.
The occasion was one of mingled pleas
ure and pain. A pleasure indeed it was,
to meet so many living, ailer a separation
of fifteen years—years of vexation and
toil, and with many of tho veterans years
of suffering and bereavement. Neverthe
less they rejoiced to-day, in pressing each
others’ hands, aud receiving the old sal
utation, so familiar in other days.
Anon, sadness would steal over their
faces, as this one reported the departure
of a comrade for that “palo realm be
yond,” or another calling up. tho heroic
death of one of their number during the
war.
After the exercises at the courthouse,
the line was formed, headed by Colonel
Cutts and the officcis of tho old battalion
preseut, and the company marched out to
the fair ground where a splendid dinner
had been prepare 1 by G. B. Hare, Esq.
The usual ceremonhs at tho table, with
wine and jest, and repartee, closed tho
public exercises of tho first reunion of the
old command. The remainder oi the day
was spent la social interchange, and. the
relating of reinisuiscencles of the unhappy
war. It was a happy, joyous occasion.
It wa3 a matter of regret that arms and
tents could not be secured, so as to carry
out the original intent of this reunion.
But the most persistent efforts failed to
secure them.
I must close with a short history oi this
gallant battalion. Colonel Allen 8. Cutts,
of Americus, early in ISC], determined to
raise an artillery company. This he ac
complished without difficulty, but owing
to the lack of equipments, the company
was not placed in tbe field until July
1861. This was called, “Sumter Light
Artillery.” They left Americus on tho
Cth of July, with 182 men for Virginia,
and remained in that department unti
the surrender, at Appomattox, April 11,
1885.
They participated in the first battle of
Manassas, on the 21st of Jniy. Their first
engagement was that of Drauesville
They acquitted themselves with honor.
In 1802, the Battalion was formed with
Col. A. 8. Cutts Colonel command in
The command consisted of Sumter Lighi
Artillery as Company A, with Capt. II.
M. Ross commanding, Company B, Capt.
Charles P. Crawford, Company C, Capt.
J. A. Blackshcar, Irwin Artillery, Capt.
John Lane. The companies A, B and C,
were composed almost entirely of citizens
of Sumter county. The Irwin Artillery
were mostly Irom Washington, Wilkes
county. During the war, oilier com
mands were added to the Battalion, no
tably that of the gallant Capt John Mil-
ledge.
The command was attached to General
Pendleton’s artillery brigade, and were
citlicr present actively engaged or held iu.
reserve in tho first year of the war, with
Gen. D. H. Hill’s command, and during
the latter part with the corps of Gen. A
r.Hill. , . .....
It is to be set down to tho honor or tins
battalion that they fired the last camion
in the late war on Saturday night. This
gun was fired by Sergeant W. 11. h letcher,
who livesjust beyond East Macon.
I am indebted for many of these facts
to Captain T. H. Johnson.

Colquitt 3c Baggs vs. Stultz. Complaint,
from Mitchell.
1. One who receives collateral security
bound to the uso of reasonable dili
gence in connection therewith. If the
collateral be promissory notes or like evi
dences of debt, he is bound to use ordi
nary diligence to collect them. But where
stock, worth about par, was deposited as
collateral security, ’ the creditor was
not compelled, on failure of tlie debt
ors to pay the debt, to sell tho collateral;
although lie had the option to do so, in
tlio manner provided by the code, §2,140.
IBs not selling, although he knew that the
debtors had failed In business, and the
subsequent depreciation or the stock con
stituted no defense to an action on the In
debtedness, it not appearing that the debt
ors took any steps to secure a sale.
2. It did not alter the case that the
stock was transferred on the books and
new stock issued to tlie creditor. No
sale was claimed, aud he held only sub
modo. A plea to an .action on tlie debt
which sought to recoup because of tho
failure of the creditor to sell the collat
eral, not caused by him, was demurra
ble.
Roundtree ct. al. ?j. Rutherford, admin
istrator. Distress warrant, from Hous
ton.
1. Where a .counter-affidavit ha? been
filed to a distress warrant, aud the case
relumed for trial,-tlie defendant may file
a plea of bankruptcy, if it operates to
discharge tbe debt. The affidavit is
pleading In such sense 03 to allow
amendment by the addition of a plea of
inkruptcy.
(a). Tim ruling in 55 Ga., 5G, will not
be extended.
2. Where a distress warrant has lioen
levied, a counter-affidavit filed, and a
bond given fur the eventual condemnation
money, the process becomes mesne, and
the debt may be discharged by bank
ruptcy. The discharge of the principal
would operate to discharge the surety.
3. On the trial of the issue formed un
der a distress warrant, evidence was ad
missible to show that the landlord agreed
for the tenant to sublet at less than the
original price agreed on; hut statements
of the tenant in the absence ot the
landlord were not admissible for tLat
purpose.
Houser vs. Scott. Certiorari, from Hous
ton.
Where one, in good faith and under ad
vice from tlie ordinary, took up au estray,
and had it appraised aud relumed iu
compliance with the requirements of the
code, and it was held in readiness to meet
tlie demand of the owner, ho was not lia
ble to quintuple damages. Subsequent
irregularities on the part of the officers
would not affect him.
(a.) Where the whole conduct of the
taker up of au ostray was in perfect good
faith, that tlie return was made on tho
sixth day after the appraisement will not
render liim liable.
(b.) Nor will ho be liable because one
of tho appraisers was only a freeholder to
the extent of being interested in a home
stead estate.

H&lleman vs. Halleman. Alimony, from
Houston.
1. The act of October 28,1870, entitled
“an act to extend the provision for ali
mony to the family of the husband, to
provide for tbe custody of the children,
and for other purposes co llected there
with,” is not unconstitutional as referring
to more than one subject matter, or as -fog mines that now exist in tbe Fennsyl-
containing matter different from what is
expressed in its title. An examination of
the act will show that alimony, custody
of children, etc., was the only subject
matter rclerred to therein.
2. There is no law which confines a
jury in tho allowance of alimony to the
property owned by tlie husband at the
date of tho verdict. The verdict may
cover any property mentioned in the
schedule.
3. That the verdict allowing alimony to
the wife, made no provision for the pay-
mcni of tho debts of tlie husband, does
not render it illegal. Possibly the indebt
edness of tho husband might show the
allowance to have been excessive, but the
amount of such indebtedness does not any-
wboro appear. The decree will not be
good as against tbe debts created prior to
the filling of tbo schedule.
4; Under the peculiar facts of this case,
the admission of tho copy noto from Miss
Bullard to the defendant was not error.
He was shown to have been in possession
of one noto from her, and in response to
the notice to produce he should have
shown clearly that it was not the one
called for, and also how it catne to be
written over in pencil and blurred, so a3 to
be unintelligible.
Without such note, tho network of cir
cumstances surrounding defendant show3
his relations to Miss Bullard to have been
very suspicious, whether he actually co
habited with her or not. His conduct,
the amount of property brought by the
wife into the coverture, her blameless
life and reputation all justify tbo verdict.
Scott & King vs. Layers. Complaint, from
Houston.
The only evidence which conflicts with
the verdict was tuat of the parties defend

Denver, Col., October 31.—Denver
has been in the-bauds of a mob of rioters
for eight hours, aud now fully 1,500 rioters
are in the streets. It was discovered a
week ago Uiat fully 8,000 illegal names
were registered in the city, and immedi
ately thereafter the streets were filled with
strangers of tho worst character. On
Saturday night the Democrats had a pro
cession, carrying transparencies with in
scriptions and cartoons tending to cxcito
animosity against the Chinese. A consid
erable portion of the crowd became
intoxicated and remained out a.l night.
This noon they made an assault upon the
Chinese houses, tearing down tho houses
and beating and driving out the Chinese.
One was dragged from Shap Lee’s place
with a rope about his neck, and his
skull crushed in with boots and bricks.
The police were called out but were
unable to control tho mob. The fire de
partment was ordered to throw water on
the rioters, but the mob attacked them
and badly wounded two firemen.
Many Chinamen were fearfully beaten
One was rescued by the police and takqi
to jail, which was immediately surround
ed by a mob of about 1,000, who hurrahed
and yelled "lynch the leper."
The special police managed to keep
back the crowd. Tho other mob remain
ed Intact in the lower part of the city.
About dark they were entirely beyond
control, and marched from street to
street gutting Chinese houses wherever
they saw them and assaulting citizens.
Many colored men were knocked down
aud beaten.
A special police is being sworn in to
the number of 300. The Chinese pul
iation here cannot exceed 150 all to
and from tho beginning of thisdisgracelu!
riot, not a single incident is reporied of
any one of them having resisted the on
slaught.
Denver, October 31.—At this time,
11:30, everything Is quiet, the mob having
dispersed, bnt a large police force is pa
trolling tbo streets and the militia ready
for action at a moment’s notice. All the
saloons are closed, with orders to remain
so until after tho election. The rioters
gutted every China house in town with
two or three exceptions. One Chinaman
was hanged over his front door, aud sev
eral were badly beaten with stones and
other missiles. In nearly every instance
the police rescued the Chinamen through
back doors while tho mob was forcing the
frontdoors. Four or five rioters were
slightly wounded and one seriously, he
having been shot In the right side.
Denver, Col, November I.—The ac
tive response of tho citizens to tbo call of
tlie authorities effectually checked the
mob, and by midnight a very perceptiblo
improvement was developed, which has
steadily continued. Early this morning %
squad of miscreants made a disturbance-
near the post-office, but within ton min
utes it was estimated tliat 1,000 citizens,
nearly all armed, were on tbo ground, and
all tho rioters at that point were arrested
and sent to jail. Several hundred war
rants have been sworn out by the officers,
and betwoen 200 and 300 arrests hare
been made. Tbe city is now considered
absolutely secure‘against any revival of
mob rule, and the indignation among all
classes is intense and earnest. Should
lawlessness show itself in any form or at
any point, it will undoubtedly be checked
by the sternest and most convincing
means employed In such emergencies
vania anthracite regions. The greatest of
these is probably that In the jugular vein,
near Coal Castle, this county. This has
been burning since 1835. Lewis F.
Dougherty opened this vein In 1833.
The upper drift of the mine was
above water level, and a huge fire was
.‘kept in a grate at tlie mouth ot the mine in
winter to keep the water from freezing,
in the gutters. One night in the above
year the limbers of the drift caught fire
from tho grate. When it was discovered
the fire had bc6n carried down the air
hole to the lower drifts, and was beyond
control. Two miners entered the miue,
hoping to recover tlieir tools. They never
came out. The mine was abandoned. No
effort made to mine any of tlio coal
near the burning veil., although it was
considered the bs3t coar in the region, un
til 1850. Then John McGinnis put in a
slope on the cast side of it, below water
level. He struck tbe vein at a place
where the coal was so thick that
two miners could keep a largo
breaker supplied. When 400 yards of.
gangway had been excavated, tbe heat
from the burning Dougherty niino began
to bother tlie miners. McGinnis attempt
ed to open an air hole. The heat became
so great tliat the men were paid double to
induce tl cm to wo;k. They worked en
tirely naked, and'were relieved every ten
minutes. Finally the heat became so in
tense.that work was abandoned. Tho
mine was flooded. After being pumped,
men could again woik for a few days.
Tlio mine was flooded nine times. Mc
Ginnis finally failed, and the mine was
then abandoned. Tho fire has been rag
ing in the vein ever since, ^n area of,
halfamilein every lilrectlofi has been
burned. No vegetation grows on the
surface. In places tho ground has
l caved in, forming chasms a hundred, feet
deep. There is but a thin shell ot earth
over tho pit of fire. At night 'blue, sul
phurous flames issue from the crevices iu
the ground. It is dangerous to walk
across the spot. Several persons have dis
appeared around there during the past
twenty yfc'irrs. It is believed that In a
majority of the cases they have fallen into
llm burning mioc. Dougherty, Uie orig
inal proprietor of the mine, attempted to.
go across once. He sank to his armpits
through tho crust, and was only saved by
courageous friends who ventured, to his
assistance. Tlie stonra on the ground arc
hot, and snow never rests there. Rain
turns to vapor as fast as it falls on tbe
roor of tho burning mine. Millions of
dollars’ worth of the best quality of coal
have been consumed by the fire.
The Summit Hill mine, near Manch
Chunk, has been burning for ttyei.ty-fivo
years. It is believed that thft mine was
set on fire by discontented miners. Thou
sands of dollars have been spent in fruit

The Butler mine, near rittston, has
been burning three years. It was set on
fire by a party of tramps, who built a fire
in the mine In 1877. The fire is in the
upper drifts. It is confined to an area of
forty acres ly an immense ditch forty feet
wide, which was excavated between the
burning drifts an 1 connecting ones. Tho
diggi ng of tlie canal cost $50,000. But for
that obstacle tlie fire would have commu
nicated to some of the most extensive
mines in the Lackawanna Valley, and a
subterraneous conflagration would have
swept under the whole of West Pittston.
Miners have worked in the lower drift of
the Butler mine sinte the fire broke out,
but there are but fort y feet of rock between

The following mysterious paragraph, a
Sew months since, was found in the New

“Dr. Oliver Huff, of San Francisco, who
died recently, directed in his will that a

A Storm on the Son.
I Observers of the sun found indications
of intense commotion on the lltb, 12th,
aud 13th of August. Tho sun spots were
many, large, and active, and protuberances
shot up their rose-colored tongues with in
creased force and velocity from the sur
face. The earth made instantaneous re
sponse to tlie solar storm. A magnetic
disturbance' suddenly began, accompa
nied by an unusual exhibition of earth
currents. - Tbe magnetic variations were
frequent and'larga, aud the earth currents
continuous and strong. It is years since
the Greenwich observatory has recorded
magnetic disturbances of equal magni
tude, and it sends forth a timely warning
to tclegratili engineera, and cape-,
claliy to those .concerned in lay
ing submarine cables, that earth
currents may now become f; cquieal as
compared with the quietness of recent
years. A superb exhibition of aurora ac
companied the magnetic disturbance. An
observer at the Stoneyburst conservatory
describes it as [recalling the magnificent
displays of 186!), 1870 aud 1871; while the
play of the magnets was one of the mo3t
violent ever recorded at that conservatory.
The auroral display was extensively ob-
scived in England and Scotland. One
observer described it as an outburst of
streamers, appearing like wavy, swaying
curtains from the zenith to near the hori
zon, with the loreliest green tints near the
zenith. AnoUicr writes that the streaks
extended from horizon to zenith, the color
being principally pale blue with a-reddisb
tinge. Another paints the display as a

streamers, each streamer fading away be

condolence over his decease, or to commu

It is only la Oglethorpe county, Geor
gia, wbere Uie history and antecedents of
Dr. Huff are known, that the motives
which prompted this singular document,
can be explained. .
Dr. Oliver Huff was the illegitimate
son of Col. Richard Huff, once a wealthy
land aud slave owner iu Goose Bond dis
trict, who created quite a sensation before
the war by liberating 100 slaves and es
tablishing thcm.in Liberia. Iu this band
of colonists was a mulatto woman who
claimed to be the mother of Dr. Huff.
But between her and the alleged son no
friendship had existed for years. Ho al
ways appeared to avoid the mulatto mis
tress of his father, and was encouraged in
tills by his sire. Young Huff grew up in
to a bright, handsome lad, and was sent
by Col. Huff to the first schools in tho
New England States. During vacations
he visited home, but here lus society was
marked. The whites looked upon him as
tainted with negro blood, while from his
bearing he scorned the suspicion.
Huff graduated with distinction, and
having expressed a desiie to study medi
cine his father sent him to France, from
which countiy he returned with the high
est diplqma. :i -5 . w
He located on ihq plantation ot his
father; but his old troubles began again.
The whites in tlie neighborhood had not
forgotten the suspicious circumstances
surrounding the young Doctor’s birth,
and he wa? placed under tho ban of so
ciety. Dr. Huff was proud and ambitious,
and soon seemed to avoid association.
At length tlie whites l>ega;i to discover
tbat there was not the faintest resemblance
to tho negro race in Dr. Huff, and the re
port got in circulation that his mother
was a Caucasian, and that the mulatto
woman had been paid to claim and rear
the infant as her son. ■ t ■ •
After this Uie barrier of society began
to give way. A few whites recognized Dr.
Huff aud employed him in their families,
hut in a condescending way tbat chafed
his proud spirit. Others spoke of him as
the “nigger doctor.”
. He was once engaged to one of the first
young ladies in South Carolina, but the
report of his birth reaching her family's
cars, tho match was broken off.
Tbo beginning of the lato war found
Col. Huff dead, who left his illegitimate
son a fine property, to revert to him at tbe
death of the lawful heirs.
About tills time Dr. Huff quitted the
county, letting no one know bis destina
tion. But some of the soldiers from this
epunty saw him during the war as surgeon
iu a Confederate regiment. His men were
devoted to him, ana our boys did not ex
pose his history. .
After tho war Dr. Huff was lost sight

We have written several articles, says

as glucose sugar, a kind of syrap usually

ho apology is due for ,repeating tho dose,
for it is a subject that ought to be con
stantly agitated, especially among tho
farmers of the lower South, who have it
entirely within their’ power to produce
tlieir own sugar and molasses from the gen

in as a substitute; a poor one, it is true,
for its product Is simply glucose; still tho
use of sorghum molasses is far better than

of the Sandwich Islands, the Sau Fran

years since it was pretended that 20,000,-
000 lbs was tbe limit of production there,
but it has now advanced to 70,000,000 lb3,
aud there is practically, a3 far as we are
concerned, but little limit to tlie produc

miles wohld produce 840,000 tons, or 1,333-
000,000 lbs—over two-thirds of tlie total

aimed to preserve his history caused cu
riosity to be aroused aud au expose made.
Dr. Huff had never married. While he
was recognized a3 a white man in the
Golden State, he always had the air of a
hunted man. His life bad been an unen
viable one, and he doubtless hesitated to
entail the curse of suspicion that had fol

A good man was gone.
But the antecedents of this man have at

unnatural intimacy existed between them,
which resulted in the birth of a son, this

The following extract from the Jancs-
vill* Recorder wili be read with interest
by the citizens of Macon. Following it is
a letter from Capt. Smith, of tbo Guards,
to a friend in this city. We give it to
show the impression produced upon onr
visitors. Perhaps tho reception tendered
by Masbu may result in bringing' into
Georgia many valuable citizens:
Iu the afternoon, on invitation of tha
citizens of IBkn, the Guards and Rilles
started lor a visit to their city. Arriving
there about seven, tli^y found tlie oily all
wild with expectation. Bonfires were
burning, cannons were belching forth
their iptid voice of welcome, fireworks,
roc$ets and Homan candies wore in the
hands of apparently every man, woman
and child, and from the depot to the ho
tel and the hotel to tlio armory the night
was as bright as day, and the continual
cheers of the vast crowds on the streets
satisfied all that the welcome tendered
was a genuine one, and one tliat came
from the hearts of those who were glad to
do their Northern visitors honor. After
stacking arms in the armory of the Macon
Volunteers, the Masonic Jtall was thrown
ojten anu for an hourtUe blue and the gray
mingled in joyous greeting. Saturday morn
ing the efirria »es of the whole city were
turned over to the boys,anil until 3 o’clock
they were driving in all directions, seeing
the sights of a genuine Southern city. At
four o ( dock the visitors sat down to & ban
quet tendered them, and a royal least It
was, too. For over two hours the tables
were surronnded; speeches and toasts fol
lowed each other. The menu was printed
on satin, and was of exquisite design. The
citizens of Macon are proud of tho fact
that this was the finest and most elaborate
banquet ever served In Georgia.
A3 the time for leaving caino it seemed
almost impossible for the hoys to bid
good-bye to their ft lends, and at the depot,
just as the train started, the handshak
ing and hugging reminded one of a lot of
girls bidding each other cood-byc for a
summer vacation. At Griffin, on the wvy
to Macon, representatives of tlie two com
panies there boarded tlie train and left
as their compliments a large tub of punch
which wa3 highly appreciated.

The Rockford Rllm At Homo.
The Rockford Register ot the 28th ult.
gives the following account of the return
of the Rifles to that city:
After the disappointment of yesterday
afternoon, the absolute appearance of the
reluming Rilles on the eight o’clock train
aroused a double enthusiasm from tbe
citizens. A large crowd awaited their ar-
rival.at the eight o’clock train, conspicu
ous among whom were the lone widows
who woefully waited and waited iu vain
at the afternoon term,their faces beaming
with certainty of realizing their deferred
hopes and greeting eacli their individual
Rifle once more. Then tlie boys were all
out noisy and numerous, in imagination
picturing the day when they would be the
joy iul bearers of glory to tlieir Rockford
homes. When the tram pulled in and the
weary, welcome alighted, the assembly
raised a clieer, which the boys responded
toby firing
SALUTES FROM THEIR POCKET PISCES.
The band piped np the mus!cof“Dixle n
and the line of march was taken up, the
white hats of the “bonoraries” looming up
behind the band, by no mcan3 minor fea
ture of tho procession. As they inarched
down West State street the'sidowalks and
store doors were thronged with citizens
who gave the token of welcome by a loud
clapping of hands and shouts of applause.
The Rifles stepped up briskly and with
elastic tread as if their lone journey aud
the attendant marches and drills had been
but a bit of pleasurable practice instead of
a continual strain, and there was about
them a prouder, firmer military bearing
Ilian they had ever manifested before. At
the armory tho crowd pressed upon
them that entrance was almost impossi
ble, and the rooms were filled with de
lighted friends pouring forth a continuous
stream of curious queries and hardly able
to contain themselves to receive the re
sponse before darting upon another equal
ly interesting subject. Very little satis
faction could be obtained last evening
i’owcrer, as the boys were in a perfect be
wilderment of recollections of glorious
treatment, levees, receptions, banquets,
toasts, complimentary speeches, military
maneuvers, and as a consequence verbal
accounts were incoherent and chaotic, aud
only tho general impression was gaiued
that the boys bad fated most sumptuousty
and been feted and feasted until
THEY REVELED IN LUXCBY.
Everywhere it was the same. At Maam
the'y were furnished with a banquet with
every delicacy that mind could imagine.
Tlie bills of fare were printed on while
silk, with words indicating tliat the ban
quet was complimentary to “Our Western
visitors, Rockford Rifles and Janesville
Guards.” At all points along tbe route,
going and returning, crowds gathered
and welcomed the boys with cheers.
Often, at stations where the train stop
ped but five minutes, local companies of
soldiers were assembled, with bauds and
banners, and palatable drinkables were
provided of infinite variety and delicious
flavor. There was a strong pressure
brought to bear to induce tbe company to
visit Jacksonville, Florida, but the boys
felt that they could not take more time.
The Gazelle, published inthesime city,
eating the totality to which this business
lias already reached. In fact, the busi
ness is at present'carried on under a kind
of socresy, Hie profits being immense, and
the article produced being used, but not
avowedly. One establishment iu Nqw
York, which lor years manufactured
starch from corn, pursued experiments
for a long time under Gorman chemists,
until the glucose in syrup form was pro
duced. Sinew then this New York estab
lishment has been engaged in a constantly
increasing production and trade. The ex
tent to which cane sugar is being dis
placed by this product is truly astonishing:
In fact, tlio people have no correct idea of
it whatever.
(fwoaro not mistaken, the original
glucose, now an article of commerce, as a
substitute for sugar, was able to produce
say", three gallons of pure syrup from each
bushel of corn. This syrup is of good
color and good saccharine power, aud its
liquid consistency rendered it desirable
tor mixing with other syrups. As com
pared with the imported syrups, or with
syrups made wholly from sugar, its cost
was insignificant, thus enabling tlie pro
ducer to Sv.il it at from fifty to sixty-five
cents profit, and at tlie same time furnish
a substitute for direct sugar productions
at onc-lialf or less than their cost.
This glucose enters largely into nearly
all the finer molasses or syrups now sold
on tbe general market, aud it wholly
composes all the cheaper grades. They
have got to flavoring it up and purifying
it in such a manner that one can rarely
detect it without chemical test, or by the
