. Augusta’s Flood. »*
The water has receded from the
streets of Augusta, and the Savan
nah river, though still high, is rapid
ly getting back into its normal con
dition.
The receding waters disclosed
many washouts in the pavements
and streets, and great damage to
fences and other property.
The most serious loss to the city
is the damage to the canal, her great
• water power, the banks of which are
broken in several places. The dam
age to the canal is estimated at $200,-
000.
Church furniture has been ruined,
graves and vaults washed open, de
bris scattered everywhere, dead bod
ies foufad under upturned cars and
in shanties, cattle found dead lodged
in.the forks of trees, bridges washed
away, immense holes in the streets,
railroad tracks twisted like the let
ter S, and ail land marks gone, but
the people arc not cast down. They
will clean away the debris at once,
and will soon have their beautiful
city in fine trim. They are still de
termined too to toake their coming
Exposition a grand success.
Mayor May estimates the entire
loss to the city and citizens at $1,-
000,000, and says that the city will
be in much betlfer condition than be
fore. Fortunately most of the loss
is to parties able to bear it, and with
in thirty days there will be nothing
to indicate that the city was ever
submerged and torn by rushing tor
ments.
Can’t Go Up.
For the benefit of those who are
willing to ,takc risks, we publish be

Charleston, S. C., Sept. 12.—The
British steamship Domingo arrived

Sapelo Transferred.
The Bill transferring Sapelo Island
and Sound from the Savannah to the
Brunswick Delict, passed the House
Wednesday. This is as it should be,
as that Island belongs gcographi
cally in this district, and it certainly
will be decidedly more convenient for
those who have* business with the
custom house.

Llke numbers of others we- were
led to suppose that the above 'Rail
road scheme was visionary, both in
fact and possibilities, but the more
we look into the scheme and investi-.
gate the people who are backing it
up, the more convinced: are we that
there is big possibilities in it for
Brunswick, and not- only Brunswick
but a big line of territory leading
westward.’ The line in truth is not
from Colonel’s Island to Waynesville,
but covers a grander scheme by far,
and one that is fraught with bigness
for us.

The inhabitants of Oakland, Cal.,

The President of that road is Mr.

By placing a {map before you and
tracing the lines it will be seen that
the route from Montgomery to Bain
bridge by the Midland, and thence
by the S. F. & W. and B. & W. to
Waynesville, and thence to our har
bor by way of the new road, furnish
es about a “bee line.”

Mr. George Francis Train, ofNew
York, says he wants to go to Jack
sonville, and he believes if he were
there he could soon arrest the course
of tho yellow fever. “I don’t feel at
; liberty to force myself in where I am
not wanted,” he says, “but if the peo
ple were to extend an invitation to
me, I would go’ down there tonior-
rp.w. I know I could stop the pro
gress of the pest. The people there;
are demoralized, and need somebody
to restore -confidence to - them and
stop their panic. I -an o. it, and

they want to kill r < off, uow is their
time. I insist on one thing. They
mustn’t thank .me. When the fever
is gone let them go to church and
thank God.” Mr. Train might make

Potato Crop Spoiling.
Mr. Robt. Clubb, living three miles
from the city, informed us this morn
ing that the incessant rains have
about ruined his sweet potato crop.
He had a hand yesterday digging
for several'hours, and only gathered
about one bushel of merchantable
potatoes. The rest were either rot
ten or sour. We presume other far
