THE ATLANTIC AND GULF RAIL
ROAD.
Tim AdrerUser in a recent homo in its
prophetic kenn. Im* discovered a question
of the greatest imirortance, that will soon
force itself upon the merchants of Havnn
n.ill particularly, and that ia the future
of the Gulf road; and says in substance,
its extreme einharrassinents can no longer
With proirriety he disguised. “As to lmw
1‘ got so is not ft question for present dis
cus .ion.'” Why not ? If there nro causes!
investigate them at once, and remove ]
them if they are producing such and re
sults. It is clearly infernlilc from the wri
ter’s statement that lie saw the approach -
* lift disaster, and if he had then investigat
ed Hie causes instead of disguising the
fact, his knowledge of wlnoll is clearly da
ilnnenlile from his own stalemefrt, the
fisaster might have been prevented,
We urn HoiinoSUnt surprised at the fob
lowing statement of the writer? "The
prosperity of tire gonerid lrn<V> of the city
of fin van naif lives or dies with flrC Gulf
Fond. ” Tins makes Savannah rather n
hisignitlcnnt city if ita vitality depends
Upon tie* trade of a section of country so
Impoverished that it can’t sustain a rail- j
rood. Upon whut a alender Giread hangs
the deatinie* of Huvunnali. The rond, he
"Sivh, is wow in extremes and its death will
win If the light of Savannah's prosperity
frn-ever. Truly, Huvaiiunh, in the midst j
of life, ye are in death according to the ;
ptopli'et Sims. We think if the A-drertiser
will consult the merchants erf Hnvammb,
lie will find them joining issue with him, 1
if they speak their true sentiments to oth- i
ers. They, with a few exceptions, say
not only hy their nets, but in plain, com-
Jue’hensive imd un mmtirkal de plnnaeoligy,
llftt thet don’t cave for the trade of South
ern Georgia. While we know that they
nay so, wo believe they speuk falsely when
they say ft, for a moro solvent ami punc
tual set of merchants cannot be found than !
lives in Southern Georgia. It is true that •
the impoverished country, so called by the !
•h/nviiser, through which the Gulf road j
pusses, contributes largely to .Savannah's j
prosperity, tint we were not apprised of j
the faet that the trade, considered so nn- (
important by the merchants, was the life i
blond of the city until informed by the ;
.id rrr/inrr of the foot, wliich it has dis
gnised so long, and that the great artery that
sustains its life and perpetuates its exis
tanoo is strained to its utmost capacity,
and must soon break-. The prophet gay*:!
“If it slionld full into fho hands of parties !
MiiHiioaV to Eaton Hall, a blow would be
ijfeiilt to the trade now coming here from
■which we never would recover. ”
The writer in this assertion doesn't only
contradict the mcivhnntM of his city, but
bis conclusions from bin own Btuto of facts
are unreasonable anil illogical, and by no 1
means friendly, either to tho city or the
Toad, Take the facts na lie states thorn,
the country is so impoTWiHed that it can
net mist-air, the road; nth! the street-cor
ner talkers say the road is in its extremity
and must dfe, and this nilreliable, hearsay
rCidonce the .Merrti.w takes as condu
cive, tuid assorts tjnit with its death the
financial prosperity of Savannah must die
also. If with the death of tho Gulf road
the prosperity of Savannah must die, and
the Gulf road is now in extremities, the
inevitable conclusion is that Savannah’s
fluaneial pulse beats very feebly now. -
The writer says.:
"An appeal to-tho steokhivldiMs would
wuiomit to nothing as the stock has fallen
*<> a pynit so near woo tlmt it seems scarce
ly words priitor-tlng, and really they are
uot in a condition to do more than advise
with the DirertbtSi lint the iSesidbnt
mil his Hoard are looked to ill this cider
. ':y for suggestions of relief."
whom does the Aihertiner expect l'res
r.lentScriveu and his Hoard to make sng-j
, .tions for relief, certainly not to a city
whose financial prosperity must die with e
railroad that is flying for want of patron
age, on account of the poverty of the
country through which it pusses.
Tho .b lnrliter asserts that "public
opinion will hold tho management to- rc
eimutability if nothing is done to pres, wo
us until the hint extremity.” lie says the
mad is in great extreinitii'S now, and Ire
wont disguise the fact any longer that the ;
stock is down lorem, and not of snflieivnt
importance to protect and w ith the mart in
this depressed condition, he threatens the
President and- his Board with a fearful nc
conntalullty to public sentiment if they
don't make suggi-stiiins for the immediate
relief of Sarnimah, and to protect them
until a final extremity. It may Ik* good
logic, but we confess we can't see it. Hut
we do flunk wo see something of a
personal wstnre ill it. We don't know the
editor, m<r do we assert this as A fact, hut
we are forced to the eonelnsion tlmt he is
lint friendly to the Gulf road, nor to its
managers, and that in hie injurious article
in refei'cncx to the riwid. he places the
site of Savannah in ft very unenviable7o

WADE, IX IIIH EAGERNESS FOR AX IMMORTALITY OF INFAMY, PROSTITUTING THE'DTT’irK OF UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER IN VAI DOST t
IN TRYING TEN LITTLE HOYS FOR SERENADING SLIPPERY DICK WHITELKY
Heboid the august tribunal ns he stand* in his assumed dignity with his imported Marshal, then look at the little prisoners Dolt innijM.r. What a seeno to contemplate h
\ Judicial officer, with the blood of Captain Hunter, upon his unhallowed hands trying these innocents for serenading a thieving Radical candidate for Congress. This is one
of the incidents that prove the forbearance of our people; many Hilch insults have they submitted to as law-abiding ci’tiz am, but we do earnestly believe that it is theoniv place
of cqind population on the continent of America, where Wade could have perpetrated liis villainies and live. Now, as u friend to peace and order, we suggest to Wade and
Griffin, at the approaching C ingressioual election, that they let the negroes vote at their respective prescints, and not congregate an infuriated mob of wild, reckless and i rutal
creatures to shed the blood of wliite citizens. We notify you now, that we want peace, but if the blood of another white man is shed by a negro, under your influence yours
will atone for it; onr people will not submit to it. ’ J
“That tho road must change its owner
ship is patent to everybody.” Wo won-
I der if the Adrertiter lias any purchasers in
j view? He appears to bo fearfully agonized,
lest it may fall into the lmnda of parlies
I inimical to Savannah and change its direc
tion, kill Savannah and terminate the raod
] somew here in tho Okeefeuokes Hwninp.
lie anticipate* a side of the road by the
Hhcriff, and assorts if that fate befalls it,
that parties antagonistic'to Havnnnali will
rise up mfd give “us" trouble. Tlmtwould
j boa very fearful result and the Editor is
inclined to impress it, with peculiar force,
upon the minds of the stockholders, and
then very kindly suggests that some effort
at an arrangement be made before it is too
lute. We uro not acquainted with the ed
itor; know nothingf the President and
; Superintendent, except from reputation,
and therefore, are not their chosen ornesl.
We write this upon our own responsibility
not with the vie w of defending the Officers
iof the rosd, for their reputation as honor
able ami loudness men is established, and
' needs HO defense, nor with the view of
' raising a captious issue with the Ailrnrlit
er. Hut we do ft because we think we see
in tho Advertiser"ti article thoont-oroppiiig
or fore-shadowing of a contemplated rail
road monopoly. We conclude from the
article that, the Advertiser is not friendly
to the present managers of fho Gulf Road
(and that lie not only predicts, but earnest
ily desire* a speedy change in ownership
i and management. And that he has ftjnew
j ownership in contemplation is quite as ob-
I tiou'S Aft the other projxrsition. It maybe
i that the Adrertiser would be pleased for it
to fall into tlie hands of tho Central Rail
] rond Company. If so we presume he would
Int once advocate * diseontiiiksneo of the
I (leutrnl Rond as the whole prosperity of
Knvnnfmh is dependant upon the Gulf
j Road.- Now, we beg leave to join issue
with tire AdterVutfr. We think his article
does groat injury to the Gulf Road and its
managers, nnd to tho country through
which it passes, and also to tho city of
S'avaomili. First the President, and his
Hoard Ims dtluo all that could he done for j
the prosperity of tho rond, every interest
has been carefully guarded, and greater j
energy, perseverance, skill in manage- j
ment and economy in husbanding the re
sources has hcver characterised the officers
of any rond, and no mnfi or set of men
could have managed and controlled it more
profitably. Then why threaten the Presi- j
dent with a fearful accountability to pub- 1
lie, sentiment if ho does not make some j
suggestions for the relief of tue road and |
the salvation of Savannah from financial j
ruin. Hasn't President Soviven made sag ]
gestions nnd urged them upon the city of ]
Savannah and the stockholders that Would, !
if carried out, not only relieve the rond
from embarrassment, but would have made
it one of the best paying roads in the
State, nnd not only would it. have prevent
ed the death of Savannah’s prosperity, but
would have given to the city anew impe
tus, new life, with largely increased facil
ities ami resoiwees.
His suggestions were plnnsnUe and
would scr strike the rniml of any sensible
man or commnnity of men. The Gulf
Road to- be a paying institution with its
prescut exten,t considering the country
through which it passes is something that ■
a reasonable man could never hope for, \
slid if President Scrivon and his Beard has
So conducted it as to pay expenses, they
justly merit an immortality of fame for
economy and financial ability. The pro
jectors of the Gulf Road never, as business
n\-m, expected any profits to arise
from- tbe running of the road to its pres
ent terminus, twit built it with a view to !
present convenience, nnd witn the uutici- j
putien of future extension into the State j
of Alabama, tapping one of the most pro
ductive and fertile regions of that State, !
giving almost a direct line from Mobile to
Savannah nnd a shorter distance hy seven
ty-live or one hundred miles than any oth
er rout. With that extension nnd the ftn- j
mouse freight drained from that ptuduet
iveoountry together with the vast tinvel that j
would necessarily pass over the road, the
stock of the road would rise from sero to
a much higher temperature, mid the talk .
on the street corners, live source!
whence the Advertiser obtains its informs- j
tion, would materially change, and Savau |
hub’s prosperity would be imperiled no -
louger What more could President Scriv I
on have done'hen to suggest the plan, and !
urge the city of Savannah and the stock- j
ut '.decs to adopt it ? Doesn't the Adeertis
er well know that President Hcriven visit
| ed Europe in the interest of the road, and
that lie could have secured ample means
i for the extension of the road if Havnnnali
| had sustained him. We feel safe in saying
; that the President and the Superintendent
] have done all that could have been done in
the management of tho road, and they
have divined a plan for its extension, its
, prosperity and success, who could do more,
and why should any one threaten them with
an accountability? We think the Adrer-
User does the city injustice by saying its
1 prosperity lives or dies with the Onlf Road.
The road it is true, is one of its important
| tributaries, but certainly not its ouly
source of life, for Havnmislilived and pros
pered before the road was built. We
think he does injustice to our people, for
they are not so poor ns he represents them.
Our people, generally, are in a flourishing
: condition, but the misfortune is our couu
j try is too sparsely settled for the develop
ment of its agricultural resources. Au<l,
now, in conclusion, wc lire constrained to
say the Advertiser's article came w ith rath
'er s bad grace, from nt least one of the
| proprietors, who has enioyed a very
lucrative patronage from the Gulf Rond
under its present management. Perhaps
the editor has taken upon the brain a lit
-1 tie nitro glycerine, with which be propos
i es to blow up the Gulf rond and destroy
I Savauuah if it dou’t take his advice.
WHAT 18 CUR DUTY ?
!
I It certainly Is not the duty of this or any
j other community to nurture in the public
, bossom venomous adders and subtle foes,
j Tbe black people have declared their inde
pendence of the white people and propose
jto run a radical civil rights schedule. We
think it is the duty of every white man to
! let them nlnne, gifhijf them all ther rights
| under tho law, but it never Ims been, nnd
| certainly is not now, their duty to feed
: and clothe their enemies that will rise up
; and murder them ot the commtnd of their
j base white leaders, now, wo have white 1
citizens that have families that are clever
men, nnd good mechanics nnd true citizens
and it is the manifest duty of every citizen
to patronize them. The negroes tliiuk
and say that the white people can’t dis
pense with their labor; we have no hesit
ancy in saying that farmers who never hire
a negro are far more independent nnd less
embrrrassed than those that do. Wc
have two white gentlemen, who re black
smiths and do good work. Then as it is a
question of races and the negroes deny any
dependence upon you. Why not let them
I support each other and we work together
j for the good of our race ? Wo have done
nil we can to reconcile them, nnd take them j
I out of tho hands of their villainous deeeiv-1
er, but they would not believe us, nor w ill
they believe us now. Wo suggest the
propriety of telling Whiteley, Wade and I
Griffin to patronize them, and the white ;
folks purtrouize their own ookir. Don’t
talk to them at-out voting, we don’t want
their votes, except the Week people whoi
! have proved themselves to be friends to j
\ tbe whites, to them We hope special favors
: will be shown. Wo have Jtose Knight,
Warren Manning, Gus McAfee, I’riee and
! Sapp who are mechanics ami who have
been well patronized, and when they work
led did well we say to yon country rneu,
they ore the associates of Wade nnd Grif
fin, and rliey are your enemies.- Appeals to
reason have utterly failed nnd the more
you do for them the less grateful and more
defiant they are. It is perfectly legitim
ate in war to cut off the enemies supplies,
pay each of these men what you owe them
if you owe them at nil, then patronize :
your white friends. Any person in town I
1 or country wishing blacksmithing, earpvn-1
tering bricklaying, shoe-mnking, hy
calling at this office can learn where to
find a Wfaite man or s colored friend to do >
it.

GLORIOUS RESULTS.
The election for the Legislature is over, j
nnd a glorious victory Ims crowned the ef
forts of the our people. Thomas county is
relieved faom radieai ruin, giving to the
INmioerarey a majority of five hundred
surf eighteen, lirooks, true na ever to her
county, gave a majority of three hundred
snd ninety-one. Colquit. will give from
two fifty to two hundred nnd seveutv-five ,
votes, making the majority ip the Senate- j
rial District from 11,GO to JI.TG. This .
sends the carpet '.swpers sjjd *o*lKw.ig'i to
the shades forever.
THE DIFFICULTY
About twelve o’clock on the day of the
election, Captain Hunter whs talking to an
old blnok man on the subject of tlie elec
tion in that spirit of kindness that always
characterize* his intercourse with both
white and black, not dreaming of a diffi
| culty, but Wade's infamous fiends were
j set for him. Re it remembered that hr
j defeated Wade two years ago, and with
i manly boldness, denounced his corruptions
1 all over the country, and this was the first
j opportunity for revenge. After Captain
Hunter turned to leave tho old man with
i whom he was talking, Nick Thompson
| bridled out, that's a darned lie, with some
threat. Captain H. turned and raised his
I stiek to strike, but failed to hit him. Nick
being thoroughly instructed lmd his knife
drawn, and stabbed him immediately, and
; contemporaneous with tho stabbing. Hen
Jordan, another negro, struck him a heavy
! blow with ft stick which foiled him to the
i ground; M ade was a looker-on, but open
ed not his month. We think that it is clearly
deduceablo the facts that Wndo
and Griffin instigated the diffi
culty for tho purpose of getting
i troops here to intimidate tlie white people
in the coming Congressional election. Our
i people acted discreetly and their whole
murderous plan was thwarted, for which
! Griffin wept au<l ponied out his tears in
rich profusion; falsely pretending that he
! was sorry for the fate of Captiau limiter.
We do not believe that Griffin planned
i this brutal outrage, but we do eni neatly be
lirve that he was cognizant of the fact, nnd
! through fear of his master, who i< the
worst man living on earth to day, endorsed
it; we give tho facts nnd from the facts we
1 form our opinions nnd submit them to oor
! readers for their consideration, and
i to draw their own conclu
sions. Every net of Wade's life
for the last two years has proved him to lie
a fiendish enemy to our people. He has
| sought for nothing but to avenge his de
feat two yenrssgo. Upon the most flimsy
pretexts, he has violated his oath of office
to persecute the peojildo of Btooks county
and has blackmailed a number of good eit-
I izens out of large sums of money, unrea
sonable eceffs were exacted under
a pretended judicial authority.
We have heard and read of dare
ling deeds of crime, but no tradition or
history furnishes a pnrellel to tho diaboli
cal villainies of this muu, Made. The
dark abyss of. eternal woe has no inhabi
tant that would condescend to the depths
of depravity to which this desperate man
has gone. The darkest, blackest volume
of smoke that rises from the winders of
burning demons, and lost, and damned
souls, and clusters, and thickens in the
blackness of darkness, and lowers and
hovers with impenetrable gloom over the
dismal abyss of eternal night is whiter
than the brightest sumbonm that ever fell
to earth, computed with tho darkness of
his villainies and blackness of his sotil.
And when his Godless spirit shall reach
that dismal soul-harrowing nbude, and
bound, and fettered, plunged into the
heaving, scathing, boiling sea of moulted
lead, and as the mighty flaming liquid
waves shall engulf him,add his wail of de
spair shall vibrate through the dungeons of
the eternal prison, the blackest fiends, con
scious of the'justice of tho eternal decree,
and sentence will shout with a joyous ap
probation, that the brightest seraph in
glory might proudly imitate. Re on the
alert, oh, ye fiends, it is your only hope
for joy, there is none other like him; then
hopefully listen to the loosing of the bolts
and the gmteing of the eternal hinges as
the ponderous gate shall sweep open to
receive the universally- distinguished can
didate Urt supreme misery. And now we
leave him in the depths of the deepest
ware, far beyond tire stretch of mercy or
pardon, so transcendently, supremely
miserable Unit the wailings of fiends and
lost spirits can never reach his solitude.
And crouching and scriugiug lreueath the
eternal veugenee nml wrath in liis disput
ing soliloquy exclaims:
“M* mi***ralle, which way l fly.
Infinite wrath and intinitc despair,
Which way I tlv in hell,
Myself aiu hell;
And in the knreyt deep,
A lower deep atill threatening,
To devottt me opens wide
To which the hell I suffer,
Seems r heaven.”
The eliuroh has trvnl to safe him; pious
parents nml friends have prayed to heaven,
bnt.Tehovn’s frowns blockaded the portals,
and fevveut sighs and prayers fell buck as
wasted word*. If the fountain filled with
blood imd been drained iu w.willing his
I H<ml it would have been left blacker than
if painted with ten thousand coat* of the
blackest ink. We think biv doom i* eenl
; ed aml he is turned over to the eternal ex
! ecutioner and the court of grace w ill take
no further jurisdietion of his case, and as
mi eternal out-law wc leave him for the
present.

THE FRUIT OF WADE AND GRIF
FIN'S TEACHINGS.
The House Burning Strategy!
At an early hour on Wednesday room
ing the streets were crowded with impu
dent, defiant negroes, under tlie planning
and drilling uf Wade nnd Griffin, nnd in
response to their urgent appeals to come
to the town District where thev would he
in sufficient force to intimidate tho white*,
nml by threats and menaces deter any ne
gro from voting the Democratic ticket.
They have constantly drilled tho negroes
not to listen to whut any Democrat says,
and if they do talk to them to dispute all
tlieysnr. Assuring the negroes, so they
sav. that if they got into a difficulty nml a
row with the whites lhat the Unit
ed States would take possession of
the State nndgivethcra one half of thelaud.
This they tell to the most ignorant nml
i brutal negroes nnd u*e sucli base instrn
mentalilies as More Knight, who has at all
rimes free access to the Post-office nnd the
special friend and bosom companion of
Wdo nml Griffin. Ho and one Bill Trice,
Willis Redich, Gregory, the shoe-maker,
and Gadsden, the hypoeritidal negroe
preacher, are their special agents of com
mnhieation to tbe more ignorant of their
brutil race, and under the instructions
emennting from tlie Post-office. Griffin
nnd the Post-office manipulator, Wade,
Nick Thompson, nml lh-n Jordan came to
town with the declared purpose of cutting
some “darned" white man to pieces, nml
Captain limiter, one id onr truest nml
host eitix-Piis, a noble specimen of human
ity. that beat Wade two years ago for the i
Legislature, was tho victim of the foul;
Post-office plot, and the meanest and most .
ignorant negroes were the chosen instru
ments to carry it into effect. And if Cap
tain Hunter should die, which we do earn
estly pray may not be the case, our people
will charge Wiale nnd Griffin with his
dentil, and at the judgement bar his blood
will lie upon their filthy hands.
While the difficulty was progressing the
excitement was intense, and the negroes
wildly infuriated, Wade, with a flirty tool
from Savannah, his special Marshal; was
looking on complacently, uttering not a
word to silence the months or stay the i
hands of liis brutal followers. And when
an effort was made by tho negroes to res
cue the attempted murderers from the of
ficers of the law, not a word did their
lenders say. Perhaps they were devising 1
another plan for their rescue, whioli soon
developed itself. Between four nnd five
o’clock, imd about one half hour after
Wade lelt tho Court House, a house filled
with fodder nnd corn on tho out skirts of
the northern portion of the town was fired
by a negro man wearing n light colored
coat and blue pants; within a half hour
after the burning, a negro man filling that j
description was seen in the Post-office
with \\ ade. The description of tho ne
gro's dress soon became tho street talk,
and Wade's companion was seen shortly
after with light colored pants on. The
negro was seen and described by ladies,
and, of course, was not per.sued.
The strntegem was too thin, the guard !
at the jail’wasimmediately strengthened by
at least fifty double-barreled gnus and no !
attempt at rescue was made. We give
these facts, all of which can be sustained,
nnd leave to onr readers to decide whether !
the. plan originated in the brain of a white
man or a negro. We present all of these
facts for our readers’ consideration, believ- j
ing (hat they will sustain us in tho asser
tion that the brutal stabbing and beating j
of Captain Hunter were the legitimate
fruits of Wade and Griffin’s teachings.

Cowardly — lt appears that the Kellogg j

outbreak, used it as a fortress from which
to shoot down oitiaens iu the streets. An

The prevailing style lot the hair is to ar
| range it in sen Hops about the face. Either
three or five (one directly in the centre),
or two or four, or more, are worn, oceord
ing as tho face is stilted. A double row of
scallops can he worn, the second row alter
nating the first. The back lmir is com
monly worn in a single braid from front to
back, depending low on tho neck,
tied about two inches above the end witlvd
a how o ribbon the color of the hat or neck
tie, Finger-puffs will lie worn on ono
half of the front only, and a Low of hair
011 the other side, or a bruide and a bow of
ribbon. Minnte finger-puffs, which must
be rolled over pencils, they are so small,
are also worn over the forehead and give
tho same scalloped appearance. This is
j prettier for those who have very light hair.
Larger finger-puffs will he used on tho
back, and a rope coil on tho back of tho
head, surmounted by a shell, or blue steel,
|or cut steel combs and ornaments for tho
j hair are very pretty.
In wraps, we have the popular English
walking jackets, Dolman mantlets, iu many
mndificutious, talmas, and a garment
which, from its long fronts, half-fitting
| back, and shawl-shaped sleeves, is half
I perlerine, and half Dolman; while there is
a tendency of the old-fashioned, comfort -
1 able oloak, in the greater depth, of aiifost
every variety of outside garment—English
: jacked excepted. For the present, wraps
j of drape il'ete, cashmere and silk are worn;
1 fo* the cold weather of late autumn and
winter, there are wraps of velvet and eas
or-bever, French tricot and Irish frit zc, all
more or less beaded and trimmed with
jetted garniture—the latest fringe being of
single, double, triple, or quadruple jetted
balls, and selling at from SI 50 to alamt
S4 00 per yard. It is yet almost too early
to have definite styles lor velvet wraps or
costumes ; though from reliable informa
tion We are prepared to say for trimming
the.ie will be a contest betweeu jutted con
fections ttd furs —the most popular trim
sting fill’s, for this reason, being chinch
la and silver fox; while there will lie
tho usual line of tui-i fur the purpot^B
Eeh-tuye.
