RED LETTER DAY. BRUNSWICK’S COTTON OUT LOOK THIS SEASON. Four New Avenues Opened Up and the Fleecy Staple to Come In. Jlonday was “red letter day” in Brunswick, for it marked a period when the chains that held her and the fetters thut bound her commer- cial wrists were snapped asunder, and she takes her stand in the busi ness arena with new strength and new energy. Up to this time cotton seeking ship ment here has always met with great, huge barriers, and cotton men had almost given up in despair, but the clouds have disappeared and the glo rious sunlight has come in, for on Monday last four new avenues were opened up. Up to this time cotton from Florida (for Brunswick) had but one outlet—to Fernandina by rail, and to Brunswick by water. The fever in Fernandina put a stop to that, and we were shut off. The Central rnilroad bottled us up at Al bany, refusing to allow her cars through to Brunswick, thus forcing everything to Savannah. In fact our only outlets were the local cotton on the B. &; W. R. R., and any point on the Centra! where the powerful East Tennessee held sway. The barriers partly vanished when the A., I*. & L. was opened to Abbe ville and the steamer line put on to Brunswick, but last Monday wit nessed the culmination when the Plant Investment Company wired here that Brunswick and Savannah should stand on the same footing from all points reached from their lines. The Central, too, has swung its ponderous jaw around, and after 1 hurling vile anathemas upon the E. T.,V. A G., has reached out its hands to the City by the Sea, and said to her merchants, “we will ship you cot ton from an}' point you desire over our lines, and thence to Brunswick !” What a change in her position ! A short time since she put her foot up- on Brunswick and the B. St W. and shut out every possibility of inter course by demanding that every pound of freight should be transfer red to B. & W. cars at Albany. But now the gates arc open, and Bruns wick, the developing giant of com mercc, begins to get her rights. And now, to cap the climax, tele grams have reached us from Mobile and New Orleans begging for room in our steamers to England, which has been granted, and over our docks will roll cotton that grew on the very banks of the Mississippi. What a change in the outlook !— One day bottled up—almost—and the next given communication with the whole cotton belt from the Atlantic to the great Mississippi river ! By this new deal a vast amount of territory is opened up to us, and now there is nothing to keep us from ship ping 250,000 or even 300,000 bales of cotton through this port. Num bers of steamships are already char tered, some of the very largest, and others are being negotiated for.— This winter will develop sights and soundB never before known in our history'. It may not bo known that the com press now being put up at the E. T., V. <fc G. docks will b<- me ■•!' the most pSfcerful inexhtem and » ill great ly facilitate the shipment, of cotton, as it compresses 1 be o.des to such small dimensions '-•> render it pos sible to load a ship to her full capac ity without the aid of jackscrews.— We take this opportunity to congrat ulate our people on what has been done. CHARITY. A beggar died last night—his soul Went on to God and said: “I came uncalled, forgive it, Lord, I died for want of bread.” Then answered him, the Lord of Heaven, “Son, how can this ill jog be? Are not my saints on earth ? and they Had surely succored thee.” "The saint*, O Lord,” the beggar said, "Live holy lives of prayer, How shall they know of such as me Wfco perish unaware? *‘TIvor strive to save our wicked souls, AivJ fljt them for the sky; Meanwhile, not having bread to eat, (Forgive) our bodies die.” Then the Lord God spoke out of Heaven In wrath and angiy pain, Oh! man, for whom my son hath died. My son hath lived in vain. He Was an Honest Conductor. Albany News. All the railroad men in the city who could get away from their work attended the funeral of Mr. T. M Fleming, yesterday afternoon, and all felt a keen bereavement over his death. “He was a good conductor,” said one, as the funeral procession moved away from the Methodist church. “Yes,” said another, “he never could have staid with the S., F. St W. -.8 long as he did if he hadn't been. They have had a system of of “spotters” on that idM for years, but none of them ever Tound aught against Tom Fleming. He was an honest man, and did his duty.” An honest man and did his duty! What more could any man have done? In the death of Mr. Fleming the S. F. & W. R. R. has lost one of its tried and most faithful servants, and the world has lost an exemplary hon est man. If he has left his children no more, T. M. Fleming has certainly left them the precious legacy of an honest name. THE FIRE FIEND Gets into the B. & W. Shops, and Destroys the Faint Shop. About ten o’clock Tuesday night locomotive whistles blew, their bells rang, and soon the uproar was in creased by the solemn peal of the big city bell, and through it all rose the cry of fire! fire! fire. The direction of the blaze told plainly its location to be at the B. St W. Railroad shops. The fire compenies were soon on the ground, bnt there being no fire plug in that vicinity no water could be had, so the bucket brigade had to Our Trade Pamphlet.

Col. .Postcll, the newly elected member of the Georgia Legislature from Glynn, as well as many of his friends, have been besieged of late, as is the case with every man elected, with letters from candidates for the Judgeships and Solieitorships of the different circuits, asking his support, some send stamps for answors, and some do not, hut all ask for answers.

Gary, superintendent of the needle work and art department of the Georgia State Fair, was in Sa vannah Monday soliciting exhibits. He told the News reporter that he thought that this year's fair would surpass any fair that has been held in Georgia. Extensive preparations are in progress, and .every effort to make it a success is being made. “The outlook is encouraging for an immense exhibit,” says he. “W. L.

Washington Chronicle: Since J, Q. Adams announced, through an Atlanta paper, that he had come in to possession of a box of valuable manuscripts, some of them unpub lished poems of the immortal E. A, Poe, anthor of “The Raven” he has received many letters from the lend ing publishers of the country about the matter. These gentlemen are all anxious to get possesion of—or even get a peep at—the documents in question. But Mr. Adams is as yet undecided ns to what he will do with these papers. It is not improbable that lie will shortly take atrip north and exhibit them to some of our most wealthy literati, with a view to the disposal of the precious docu ments. Fublic School.
