There are now about two hundred bands at work on the Jacksonville and St Augustine Railroad, and the grading is being pushed forward as rapidly as circumstances will permit At Mr. Qnarterman’a store, in Mill- wood, they have caged a six-foot rat tlesnake. He is a watchfol sentinel, and gives notice of the approach of anyone into the store by vigorously shaking his (ranch' of rattles.

The E. T., * is building a cut off Another streak of poisoned water is visible slong the Gulf coast similar to that of a few years ago. Thous ands of dead fish are seen floating on the surface of the water. No expla nation has even been given of this strange phenomenon. Travelers with baggage are now allowed one hundred and fifty pounds on full fare tickets and seventy-five pounds on half fare tickets on the railroads. All over the above named weights will be turned over to the ex press company and express rates charged for the same. A violent type of fever has made its appearanoe in Matamoras, which proves to be yeilow fever and is at tended with the usual black vomit, a number of deaths ore reported. A heavy quarantine has been put on. against all the seaboard towns' of Texas that have had intercourse by water with Matamoras. u ‘ A Savannah man has accomplished the bat of writing over eight han dred words on one postal card and that so legibiy that Bra Richardson was able to discover three mistakes in the spelling. We are of the opinion that there is agentlemsn in Dorchester Liberty county, who can write just ten words more on a postal than any other man in the State. About four hundred additional money order offices are to be estab lished on the 7th of August, and in the long list we find the following Georgia names: Bartow, Boston, Ca toosa Springs, Ellijsy, Greensboro, Waycross and Waynesboro. The money order system is self-sustaining and popular, and there should be many more offices in Georgia than there are now. The citizens of Waycross are on the high horse because their wishes have been ignored, and their postmistress, Miss Shine, discharged, and Mrs. Mnrphy appointed instead. They propose purchasing their stamps else where and mailing their lettero on the train, thus starving ont the new oocu pant, as the office is not a salaried one, and the postmistress is paid by the sale and cancelling of stamps.— Tnis is oertainly a new way of bring ing Uncle Sam to “taw." Wouldn’t it be a little surprise to the people of that town if the office should be dis continued singether? Snob a is witbiu the range of possibilities. It is alleged that among the Newell papers relating to the Texas Padfio land grant is a transcript bom the books of the railroad company show ing that one million dollars in bonds were distributed among members of the House, while four Senators were given $200,000 in bonds and $62,000 in cash. The names and amounts are given, and it is further stated that three of the four Senators are still in Congress, while but four of the thirty Bepresenatives remain. bom Chattanooga to Dalton only one mile longer than that oocupied by the State Bond. From there trains will run via Dalton to Atlanta, thus cut ting off bom the State Bo ad North' era freights and travel, while the oth er tines will monopolize the freight and passenger tariff bom other di rections. Five years from date one train each way will do the business of the State Boad, and ten years from to-day the people of Georgia will be taxed to keep it in repair. Politicoes and others who worked for this char ter will live to regret it—Borne Tri bune. Our Borne contemporary may be right in his predictions, bnt we think he is inolined to draw the picture rather darker than necessary. We do not consider that the State Boad by any means stands in as precarious a position as be would have ns be lieve. Because a new new line be opened up in competition with an old one, is no reason why it should mo nopolize the entire business. We be lieve that the new line will serious ef fect tho business of both the State Boad and the Central, but not by any means to the amount mentioned above. Joe Brown's lease does not expire for several years .yet, daring which time the State is oertainly se cure against loss, and we believe old Joe is decidedly too smart to permit any such disastrous occurrences as foreshadowed above. We are inclined to think that our contemporary's prophetic eye has a dark spot on it The B. W. G. Encampment of the above order will meet in Griffin on the 8th inst., and the B. W. G. Lodge at the same place on the day follow ing.. For the benefit of all concerned, wb give the following extract from a circular from the Grand Secretary in regard to B^TTfP^^Tl PABPfl’ The Biobmond A Danville and Northeastern Bailroad companies will furnish representatives and Past Grands tickets at 6}o per mile the ronnd trip.

Holden, of Macon, has recently invented a waterwheel which would ran in any depth under water or halfway out of it The Telegraph and Messenger says of it: “We have thoroughly examined the wheel and find it to be all that is daimed for it by the inventor. It is very simple in construction, yet it can be put in any stream of water either one or twenty feet deep, and runs at any speed desired. By a simple con- contrivance it can be stopped readily from any story of the mill or faotory. The Wheel is intended solely for streams, particularly rivers. It will be made from five to 160 horse power, and will famish the motive power for any kind of manufactory. Among its many great advantages may be tioned that neither high nor low water affects it, and it will ran just as well daring a freshet as when the stream is in its normal condition. If Mr. Holden’s water wheel is what is claimed for it we may soon hope to utilize all of the water courses in the country and our tide waters as wd). FROM DOUGLAHSVTLLE. Douglasille, Ga., | It teth* Height of Folly To wait until you are in bed with dis- yon may not get over in months, when yon can be cured during the early symptoms by Parker’s Ginger Tonic. We have known the sickliest families made the healthiest by a timely use of this pure medicine.— Observer. jy!6-lm. m July 26th, 1882. i Editor AdvertiBer and Appeal Would you and your readers of the ooastlike to spend an imaginary hour in this lovely tall-country? -Stand with me in fancy just here before the courthouse and let your eye rove over the billowy ranges of wood and field so vividly green near the town, fading into deeper and deeper blue toward the sweep of the horizon. Ton will not long for your sea-breeze while yon feel the mountain air which oomes from the distant Bine Ridge. Yonder are the last spurs of that long chain—Lost moan tain and Eennesaw. The latter, yon know, was rendered famous daring the “late unpleasant ness.” Between its two-peaks, one rising above the other, is the grave of the Indian chief, Eennesaw. The story is told that a hunter, roaming the woods in search of game shot nt a deer as he supposed, and found too late, that he bad killed his chief hunt ing disguised in a deer skin. He cried, in grief, while trying to staunch the wound, “Eennesaw 1 Kennhsaw I have I spilled thy life blood ?” The warrior was buried in the hollow be tween the two peaks, and the moan tain bears his name. Over all the intervening bills the tall corn is waving, for we are learn ingin this country to keep our corn cribs at home and not in the West. Do yon know a prettier crop than the Indian corn in perfection, just be fore the first tint of yellow sullies its riob green ? And onr orchards I We do not envy any fruit yqur low country can produce while the branches of onr peaoh trees are bending under their load and the gronnd below is thick with watermelons. Our new railroad, our pride and delight, runs through the town, pass ing in a deep eat just in front of the oourt house. The Georgia Paoifio has connected us with the world. It is Btillsnoh a novelty that half the town colleots to see the arrival and departure of the train. Our pretty frame depot is almost finished, but we think they might have given us briok one. One more feature of the landscape would probably attract your atten tion—a vacant lot near the oourt house where stand in proud array a large crowd of mules—mules fasten ed to hitohing-posts, saddled mules, and wagons drawn by mules. The presence of these animals indicates the love of the American people for tpe administration of justice. The numerous owners are crowded into the court house where the Superior Oourt is in session. Morning and evening the procession files through the streets on its way to and from the temple of justice. There are many nniqne phases in the life of this place just opened to the world by railroad connection with the capital. I am looking forward with some eagerness to the camp- meetings, those annual religious gatherings “when the crops are laid by." • . - Zell. the SOUTH. LoulavUle Trado Journal. The future of the South promises to be a grand one. People have shaken oil their old lethargic ways and have imbibed some of the vim and energy of their northern neigh bors. Mills, factories and new indus' tries are springing up in every direc tion, and notwithstanding the dis astrous floods of the past winter, everybody seems to have pitohed in with renewed determination to re cover that which was lost Nothing makes snob success as work, and the hard work that has been bestowed upon our corn, tobac co and grain fields has brought forth magnificent results. The crops are the best in many years, exceeding the bountiful harvest of 1879. We refer to this with great pleasure. It means success, money and great advantages for the Sooth.

Correspondence Port-Appeal. Gainesville i largest chicken the world. Dm mer and tail average daily sfa averaging 60 coop, agg all probability the ucing market in. g the spring, sum- anths there is' an ment of 45 coops, ing chickens to toe 2,700 chickens that are'sbipped daily. This would be 270 coops a week of 16,200 chickens, or 1,080 ooops every month, containing 64,800 chickens. The egg trade is about the same in proportion. The weekly shipment of eggs will average 6,000 dozen, or 24,000 per month. The Atlanta market is al most supplied with obiokens from Gainesville ; but Macon, Savannah; Jacksonville, Fla., trad perhaps other intermediate places, receive large shipments of chickens from Gaines ville via Atlanta. This is the same with regard to eggs. The natural in quiry is, what makes Gainesville such a large chioken market? The same advantages can hardly be afforded to any other place. It comes about .in this way. The mountains of North Georgia, Southeastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina, with their rich spots of land interspersed, are thickly settled by a sturdy class of people, many of whom never see piece of money from one end of the year to the other end. Everything they desire which they do not produce at home is bartered for at the little stores scattered about in tbe valleys, or at Gainesville. The majority of these good people haul their cbiqkens and eggs to Gainesville; some from a distance of over one hundred miles. Even the little store out in the coun try which barter goods for obiokens and eggs, send them to Gainesville for sale to the merchants there. A mountaineer from the hills of Union, Pickens, Towns or any of the coun ties north of Gainesville, will load his wagon with obiokens, and, perhaps, eggs included, and, with bis aog, will start out for Gainesville to be gone three or four days. In all.probamlity be will also have a sack of gold dust. Obiokens,* eggs and gold dust will all be bartered for “store goods,” such as calico, shirting,'faotory thread, sugar and coffee, eta, all without receiving a cent of mony. A Great Mill Burned. New Yobk, July 81.—The great flour mill of Heoker Brothers, ex tending from Ofaerry to Water streets on Pike street, was totally burned to day, along with several neighboring buildings, the principal one of which was tbe spice mill of Sanger, Beers A Fisher, aha a number of tenements on Cherry street The Heekers’ loss is between $400,000 and $600.000; insurance $600,000—well distributed, Sanger, Beers A Fisher’s loss is stated at $100,000. Hie other losses will bring the aggregate to nearly $1,000,000. Tbe fire originated in the ninth story of the Heoker Brothers’ mill, whioh was ten stories high, and was caused by friotion among the machinery for cleaning wheat About 500 men were em ployed in the mill, although some were driven to tbe fire escapes out side the building, and a fireman’s leg was broken. Several were prostrated by heat. Tho heat was so intense the firemen could not approach to save the mill. With forty engines at work, all they could do was to prevent tbe spread of fire.

They were worked with as much skill and exactness as if they had been engines of peace instead of war. The Inflexible carried eighty- ton guns, nearly twenty-seven feet in length, weighing as much as a rail way train, and bad her turrets so ar ranged that the whole of her arma ment could be fired either in the line of the .keel or a beam, as best Baited the need.
