. 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.

Sapelo Transferred. The Bill transferring Sapelo Island and Sound from the Savannah to the Brunswick Delict, passed the House Wednesday.

South Brunswick Terminal B. R- 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 engineers of the Alabama Mid land are to-day in Bainbridge loca ting that end of the line, which is now being built, and which traverses the rich cotton belt of Eastern Ala bama, the rich pine belt fifty miles in width, and taps the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, whose swkmps abound in The inhabitants of Oakland, Cal., who a few years ago imported large numbers of gum and eucalyptus trees from Australia as feyOr destroyers have come to the conclusion that the roots of these Australian monsters abundance of hard j do more harm under ground than the woods, particalarly walnut. The President of that road is Mr. Woolfolk, who is largely interested the South Brunswick Terminal. 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.” This means business fcr Bruns wick’s harbor and steamship lines north and foreign, closer shipment with Cuba and the Isles of the sea, coaling stations and dozens of other things that go to build., up our" har bor, and hence onr town.

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.
