Editor* Advertiser and Appeal:—
In the closing sentence of an edito
rial found in the hist issue of the j
Brunswick Herald, nre-tbese words:—
“Let him come down and out.” I ask
space lor only a few words expressive
of my dissent to the criticism made
upon the Governor of Georgia. While
the press is a prime factor in enlight
ening and instructing the public
mind, editors, like all either men, are
fallible— their suggestions are some
times faulty, their counsel unwise, and
their conclusions illogical. It is well,
therefore, that they do not always
lead, direct and contro 1 public senti
ment.
The censure implied upon tbe Gov
ernor's act or nets, by the words above
mentioned, will find, I think, no gen
eral response from the minds or
henrls of his countrymen. If for
sooth; the executive of a State thinks
differently from the Legislature—
though an honorable body—or makes
an appointment not in accordance
with ilH wishes or judgment, it need
not be assumed that he is actuated by
the impure motive of gratifying selfish
ambition. His ambition is, I think,
to conscientiously disclmrgi^liis duties
a? file executive officer of the State,
and thereby receive tbe approbation
of bis constituents Georgia bas
many prominent men who would well
grace the gubernatorial chair, but
perhaps noun more unassuming and
unaspiring, who holds by Ins purity
of character a stronger lie upon the
confidence of his people, than Henry
D. McDaniel, Governor of Georgia.

100 Pounds nr Dynamite successfully
Fired.
From the New York World,
There is no longer any doubt that
100 pounds of dynamite caD be safely
tired from the pneumatic gun, for
Lieut. Zalinski did it Thursday after
noon at Fort Lafayette.
At one o'clock inventor Windsor
called together his fellow-inventors
and a number of other distinguished
guests and boarded if tug at. tbu lute
wharf of tlift Barge Office and started
for the experimental station. Near
ing Fort Lafayette the passengers
saw a long gray tube sticking up nt
an angle of twenty degrees, with its
narrow end pointing towards an im
aginary two miles southwest by west
of Sandy Hook. Everybody climbed
ashore over a pile of loose rocks and
old boiler iron that Lieut. Zalinski
pelts dynamite nt when life at Fort
Hamilton becomes monotonous. The
.dynamite air gun looked just like the
tiro department water tower painted
gray and swollen to twice its ordinary
size, and as it lay slanting heavenward
brave men peeped through its shining
interior and said they could see tbe
stars. It is GO feet long, and when
charged with a force ot compressed
air of 1,000 pounds pressure it can
throw a 200 pound projectile a dis
tance of two miles.
Lieut. Zalinski tol 1 bis helpers to
put a 200-pound slug of iron into it,
and tiny did so. Then lie twisted a
little wheel and took half a turn on a
big one, and finally pulled a lever,
which made things hum. The slug
sped away with a shriek of escaping
air and a cloud of gray Vapor, and
struck the water a mile and a quarter
away. Tiler it was discovered that
the Kalety-tr.p had become loose and
let out all tbu couipresse,i air, instead
of only 200 pounds, us mt-i. led, mid
thus necessitated a delay of four
hours, till 1,000 pounds inure were
compressed. While waiting llmguests
strolled insi-ie the crumbling walls of
the fort, where Ibe 100 | uunjs of dy
namite gelatine lay in i!s brass rase
like a giant capsule, and examined its
black steel cap weighing 100 pounds,

the evening. To-morrow they will be

Thursday they will visit the State fair,
