less distinction, who hare been

ty, to visit this-country, have had
their first impressions of our people
agreeably counteracted and altogether
reversed when their tours were ex
tended Southward. Prior to the war
the invariable opinion given by ob
servant travelers and tourists, was
that the prevailing code of manners
and social customs South of Mason
and Dixon’s line was altogether differ
ent from that which governed society
in the North. The reasons for this
proud distinction acquired by the
Third Artesian, Miss "lYillard.

uccess crowned Albany’s first sion is a noble one, and it is highly
re in that direction. Of tlie ( gratifying to note the respectful mtn-
present well then, we have to say that,
.for the past week or ten days, it has
been yielding the pure artesian water
at the rate of from five to seven gal
lons per minute, from a depth be

hundred feet. At present, its depth

The antediluvian notion that so long
obtained, and still prevails to some
extent in the'South, that the lecture
platform or the stage, or in fact any
other pnrsnit, profession or calling
heretofore fallowed almost exclusively
by men, is inconsistent with a woman’s

It is from this we are led to believe j and began to flow when the drill had
reached a depth of 370 feet. The
first of the different strata penetrated
was clay, 27 feet thick. The next a
stratum of ordinary rotten limestone,
which extended to a depth of 173 feet
further. The drill then passed through
a series of 6trato, composed of marl,
flint, shell and small rock, each rang
ing from 5 to 15 feet in thickness, and
making about 170 feet in all. The
drill then encountered the trouble
some quicksand, which extended for
the next 110 feet, with a narrow
stratum of hard rick, interposed at
intervals of abont 20 feet. After the
quicksand had been passed, came sue-’
cessive stratas of very hard rock,
through which the auger has pene
trated to a depth of some 30 feet, and
in which it is still at work. As above
stated, the water has been flowing
since a depth of 370 feet has been at
tained. Its quality and temperature is
about the same as that which rose to
the surface from pretty much the same
depth in the city and county wells,
and would be perfectly clear and
pure, but for the sediment and rocky
particles made by the drill at
work.
The success of this third well, and
likewise that of any tother that may
be hereafter attempted in this imme
diate section, being assured, it will be
of interest to many to know that the
time taken up in actual work on it thus
far, exclusive of preparation, such as
the laying of the long pipe drains
from the other two wells, removal of
machinery, building the tower, der
ricks, etc., has not been more than
three weeks. This must also exclude
some time lost by the energetic and
tireless contractor, Mr. Jackson, in ex
perimenting with some new machin
ery. But for these delays, the con
tractor is confident that the well
would have been completed more
than a week ago. Thus far, owing in
great measure to the experience re
quired in boring the other two, he has
had no bad luck or extra difficulties of
any kind to encounter. He is likewise
certain that, with his process, ma
chinery and methods, ho can drill as
deep as by any other in use.
We understand that several private
wells are in contemplation, one or two
of which have been already contract
ed for in the city. Others ore spoken
of in the county around, and the con
tractor, Mr. Jackson, may as well make
up his mind, ns he doubtless has al
ready done, to pitch his tent in Al-
Albany for life.
Albany will make him Mayor next
year, and if he isn’t over-sensitive on
the score of character, may mention
him in connection with the Legisla
ture.
and hope that that the professional
tour of the above lady through the
South, will be unmarked.by any of the
coarse and indecent comment from the
press that has attended her appear-
. ance thus far in the North and West
Many of the Insinuations and inuen-
dos that have been applied tq her are
almost too coarse to be applied to a
recognized imposter or adventuress.
Whereas the simple truth is, that she
is a lady of refinement and some cul
ture, who is honestly and even meri
toriously seeking to turn a sudden
and unaccounted for popularity to her
pecuniary advantage. And it must be
admitted that society has frequently
played wilder freaks, and set up far
unworthier idols for passing adula
tion. Few, however, have ever been
able, we imagine, to comport them
selves through such a trying ordeal
as this lady has had to pass through,
with equal propriety. It is notin the
nature of a woman, hoover discreet
to treat with scorn the homage of her
admirers, however open and unrlis-
guised,and even when paid by such spe
cimens of manhood as Ggbhardt. The
proudest beauties have seldom hesi
tated to extend their conquests, even
when necessary to stoop to conquer,
while voluntary, unsoughQribute, is
seldom rejected from any source,
however humble.
The man who would wilfully throw
any obstacle in the way of a woman’s
exertions to cam an honest and inde
pendent living is a -scoundrel, while
a gratuitous slanderer of such an one
ought to be lynched. If Gebhardt had
shot down that St Louis reporter on
sight, who published the lying report
of an “interview,’’ which has been so
extensively circulated, he would have
been commended for the act, and have
risen in public estimation at one bound
from being au assinine representative
of New York toady fluukeyism, to al
most the level of a hero.
The South will not be likely to fur
nish nn additional Gebhardt to Mrs.
Langtry’s train, and it is to be hoped
that no Southern paper or reporter
will aspire to emulate their Northern
and Western cotcraporaries in the mat
ter of comments or ‘‘interviews.’’
Improvement of Flint River.
Wo commend the attention of
our citizens who have recently in-
tersted themselves in the subject of
Flintriver improvement,to the extracts
of a speech delivered in the House of
Representatives by the Hon. W. E.
Smith, to be found on our outside to
day. Among the many valuable ser
vices rendered’to his constituents in the
Second District during his Congres
sional enreer, this one of obtaining the
first regular appropriation for the
Flint, was not the least in importance
and prospective benefit. The recent
recommendation by Secretary Lincoln
of an additional appropriation of $75,-
000 is one of the fruits of Capt. Smith’s
efforts, and it shews at the same time
tli6 opinion entertained at headquarters
of the feasibility oi the enterprise so
recently and successfully begun, as
the recommendation was undoubtedly
based on the careful reports of com
petent and skilled engineers. It is
earnestly hoped in view of this recom-
mendation hr the Secretary of the War
Department that our citizens will at
once take steps to secure concert of
action among all the citizens of the
district who are interested in securing
the great benefit of unobstructed water
communication betweeu Albany and
the upper Flint with the Gulf.
We may*take occasion to allude to
this subject again, and will be able to
present some startling facts and statis
tics relative to the trade and products
of the counties lying up in and con
tiguous to Flint river ia lower and

should be excluded from any vocation
for which her t&l ents and acquire
ments are adapted, is a question to
which a satisfactory answer has never
beeu given. Real instructors and
beoefactors of mankind, are far too
few in the world to allow a mere ques
tion of sex alone to reduce their num
ber. The vast array of aspiring and
iucompetent blockheads who crowd
every walk and profession, is only an
additional reason why the few really
and truly spiritually endowed, should
be unrestrained in their efforts by any
mere conventional and factitious rule
or usage. The mantle of the real pro
phet is quite as likely, in oar age par
ticularly, to fall upon the shoulders of
a woman, as ufcon those of one of the
opposite sex, and both experience and
history teach the futility of trying to
argue down the inborn right of such
a one to teach and to lead, by mere
precedents of etiquette and custom.
Success, it is true, is not always a
mark of excellence or even of merit,
and yet in a certain broader sense, it is.
“The apostle of truth in an age of
shams/’ will not long remain without
recognition, and the success of Miss
Willard, apart from its immediate and
perceived benefits, is fraught with a
lesson the world have been slow to
learn, but can no longer ignore. To
the bold and even aggressive attitude
taken by only a few such types of
true womanhood within the la9t de
cade, the temperance cause is mainly
indebted for the extraordinary hold it
has taken upon public attention, as
well as the efficient and powerful aid
that has been given it by legislative sane
tion. One of the incidental, yet even
more important consequences of the
movement thus successfully inaugurat
ed and carried on by these noble women
is that it has disclosed a sphere of im
portant and useful effort to the sex yet
to be extended into other and wider
fields of social reform and improve

of female apostles and reformers are

la last Friday’s ia*.ue we called at- j
tentiou to a movement on the part of a
cumber of our prominent ctaxcn?,
looking to the immediate removal cf a
number of serious obstructions to t
navigation at several well-known local- j
ities between Albany and Baiubridge. J
It has long been known that with
their removal steamboat- of or
dinary river size, and tonnage could j
safely navigate the river as high up as j
Albany, except at very low stages' of
the water, and as soon as the work
now in progress under Col. Slaughter
is completed, which will necessarily
require time"and additional appropria- j
tion?, an unobstructed navigable stream
will be had at all seasons of the
year.

Absolutely Pure,
l.
Flint river has been been pronounc-
by every engineer after surveying it to i,
be susceptable of the highest and most
permanent improvements. There are
but few sandbars, and the shoal?, with
but few exceptions, are formed by
loose boulders lying in the river. These
are easily removed to the banks, thus
serving a double purpose of opening
and deepening the chan? el, and also
confining the water within the hanks.
There is a greater volume of water in
Flint river than there is in the Chatta
hoochee. A steam tag was built for
Flint river in J837 or ‘38, the “Henry
Crowell. ’ This boat ran up as liighas
the Indian Agency, Crawford county,
Ga- She was however sunk, and her
hull could be seen in 1842 just below
Clayton’s Island. Numerous steamera
navigated the Flint up to 1852, some of
them I can recollect. The “Louisa/’
“Jas. Y. Smith.” “Syren,” “Agnes,
“Albany/* •Flint-** “Viola,’’ “Flor
ence,’’ and others not now remembered.
Steamers ‘Albany/‘Flint’’and “South
ern” were constructed near this city.
I notice that Secictary Lincoln has
recommended on appropriation of
$75,000 for the improvement of the
Flint. This, of itself, shows how
highly our river is appreciated by the
Engineer- and Naval Department of
the United States.
A boat on this riv-cr wonld soon
build up for itself a paying trade.
Railroads nnd steamboats always do
this, and a large population on both
sides of the river would be accommo
dated with cheap transportation.
New Orleans is our natural grocery
and cotton market. Water navigation
is cheaper than any other, and just
Cotton ship-
marked, as they have been hitherto,
by true womanly reserve and decorum *s safe but not so quick,
both they and the public at large, will
ever keep a deep gulf fixed between
themselves and that other class of so-
called female reformers, who, under
the veil of womans rights, abuse the
privilege of the platform by dissemi
nating doctrines and principles at war
with both. Woman’s true sphere of
usefulness and effort is enlarging con
tinually, and can expand Indefinitely
in many directions without embracing
tenets aud creeds inconsistent with
delicacy, and -founded upon the ruins
cf modesty.
It seems hardly credible that, with
the weather we have lately been
affictcd with in our section, any
portion of the United States should
have been suffering seriously from
drouth. And yet it is none the less
true that in portiors of the North,
more particularly in Maine And Wes
tern New York, an unprecedented
drouth has prevailed for some time
past. Mills have been stopped for
want of water, and thousands of opera
tives and workmen are now tempor
arily thrown out of employment by
the reason of it. Even the interests of
ice gatherers have suffered from the
unseasonable drouth. Several of our
Northern exchanges have, of late, con
tained numerous dispatches on the
subject akin to the following, which
we take from a late New York pa
per:
“The water in‘the Genesee river
was never known to be as low as at
present. Many mills at Rochester
have been stopped in consequence,
and a number of people are out ofem-
ployment’’
Wk see that the question of a can
ning factory is beginning to be agi
tated in Greenville, S. C. Such an
enterprise or rather, we should say,
several such enterprises, are needed
in Southwest Georgia. We haven’t
a great deal of fruit to can, it is true,but
vegetables of all kinds can be grown
here to perfection, and truck farming is
fast becoming an important industry
here. The multiplication of smaller
industries is the hope of the South.
The death is announced of the'Rev.

Tlie Weather North and South.
The suggestion of Albany as a Win
ter resort and a sanitarium for invalids
a few years, ago would have been
treated with ridicule. The experience
of many northern and western tourists
and invalids however, who have visit
ed our town, is conclusive that as re
spects a temperate, dry and agreeable
winter climate, few places in the
South havo any advantage over Al
bany. In fact our people who have
lived here all their lives, have little
conception of the rigors of a northern
climate in winter. Much in the way
of complaint has been said of the
changeability of our climate, and the
occasional recurrence of such spells as
we have lately had, but the follow
ing which we condense from an article
in the Rome Courier, shows a condi
tion of variableness enough to make
an inhabitant of this latitude shudder.
“In many parts of the extreme north
era portions of the United States, both
east and west of the Hudson river, the
thermometer fell within 36 hours
from forty degrees above to forty
degrees below zero—a range of eighty
degrees. Did we ever experience to
great a change of temperature in so
short a time in any State sontli of
Kentucky and. east of the Mississippi
river? We think not. Throughout
nearly the entire region north of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers, the fall last
week within the brief period above
mentioned was from forty degrees
above to twenty degrees below—a
range ot sixty degrees. At Baltimore,
at 11 o’clock, a. m., on Monday, the
mark of tlie thermometer was 46 above
and at II o’clock that night or within
12 hours, it was 26 degrees above—a
range of 20 degrees—aud it fell to ten
degrees on Tuesday. Here in Rome,
the highest mark of the thermometer
during the week was 59 degrees, at\d
the lowest 20 degrees—a range of only
39 degrees. As Rome is nearly cen
tral in the region between the Ohio
and the Gulf and the Mississippi and
the Atlantic, this locality may fairly
be taken as a southern average. And
such changes are not at all uncommon
at the North. It may fairly be assum-
that the common range of their ther
mometer in the winter is from 40 de
grees above to 10 degrees below, leav
ing out their spells of extreme cold.
In the South, it is seldom that onr tem
perature goes above 50 degrees or be
low 20 degrees above zero. There is,
then, a difference of at least twenty de
crees in our favor in the common
range. lu the summer, too, there is
greater changeability at the North.
The summer temperature in New York
is often fully as high as in Georgia,
and the thermometer falls lower there
than in the South. We have a longer
warm season, and they have a longer
cold season, but in the intensity of the.
temperature they equal us in the heat
of summer and far exceed us in the
cold weather of winter. If it be true,
as asserted, that we feel the changes
as sensibly and injuriously as the
-people of the North, that is simply be
cause we do not go as well prepared
for them as they do—neither in cloth
ing nor in heating arrangements or
precautions to exclude cold air fiom
our rooms. • The very advantages of
climate which we possess makes us
careless about such things, and when
we suffer on account of our own neg
lect, we attribute it to that universal
butt of complaint, the weather.

“Improvement of the Flint.”
The above is a standing heading
which'theNEWS and Advertiser pro
poses to keep before its readers for
some time to come. It represents a
subject of too much and vast import
ance to the people of our section of
the State to be fitly discussed in the
way of mere casual and occasional
mention. The late issues of this pa
per have contained several articles
from different sources and standpoints
on this important topic, and we pro
pose to agitate the matter until all
onr people are aroused to a sense
of the immense advantages within
their reach, and which have heretofore
been singularly overlooked and neg
lected.
One significant item which we
have alluded to before, aud cannftt be
presented too often, is the difference
between the New Orleans and Sa
vannah market prices for cotton. All
the cotton raised in this section and
marketed in Savannah or New York
by rail, is classified in those markets
as Georgia uplands, which represents
a grade inferior to what it really is,
and would be classified in New Or
leans as Gulf cotton. Now, to show
the difference between the prices of
the two grades o r classifications, we
have taken from several of our leading
daily exchanges the ruling prices of
cotton in Savannah and New Orleans
for two days—the 29th and 30th nit.
On both these days the highest prices
paid for middling cotton was 9% in
Hie former place against 9% in New
Orleans, a difference of 3^ of a cent It
is seldom, however, that the difference
is as small as this, and it is oftener one-
half or three-fourths than one-foarth,
even while the market is, as at pres
ent, abnormally doll. Another im
portant fact ir. this connection is that
mentioned a few days ago by the Hon.
W. E. Smith. Cotton shipped by
water route would gain in weight
more than it invariably looses when
shipped by rail from here to Savan
nah. It will be readily seen that in
any large shipment tbis would repres
ent a very considerable amount, since
the average estimate of loss from this
source is never less than from seven
to ten pounds per bale.
We are not sure that the Dooly
plan Is not the best after all. The
Vindicator this week continues the
publication of its list of signers to a
petition to the Legislature asking for
the passage of a bill prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating^liquors in their
county. It has already been signed
by more than one .thousand citizens of
the county, and the list is still incom
plete.

pedby the river would gain in weight
to New Orleans, while a bale looses i-f^ T? TV"*1?
from six to twelve pounds by rail from * X-i J-i-xNI
here to Savannah. Our cotton in New
Orleans would be classed .as Gulf
cotton, and as such it would bring
higher price. Any one can see this by
comparing prices current any day of
New York and New Orleans.
The debut in our city of 3Irs. Lang
try attracted quite a Large audience at
the St. Charles last evening. The house
was about three-quarters full and there
was represented quite a large Dumber
of our old theatre-goers. Such had
been the lieraldmg of this lady not a
few took the occasion to gratify their
curiosity to see her for her beauty, ir
respective of her claims as an actress.
The gentlemen predominated in both
dress circles and parquette, and the dis
play of lorgnettes attested their desire
to see the Jersey Lily even over the
footlights. The play was Tom Tay-
layor’s “An Unequal Match,” and as
its scope is limited to the portrayal of
the characteristics only of the common
place, married life of an English baro
net, there was no opportunity for any
extraordinary display of the emo
tions.
When the curtain rose on the village
blacksmith of Ghizednle, in Yorkshire,
and Blenkinsop, Mr. J. G. Taylor, Graze-
brook, Mr. Henry Crisp, and'Bessie, Miss
Kate Hodson, were introduced the aud
ience wrapped in attention, for the
most attentive failed to comprehend
the faintest outline of wliat was said on
the stage. Yorkshire dialect, it is true,
is broad, uncouth and difficult to un
derstand, even by the average-English
ear, but such as was given in the first
act last night only a Norwegian could
interpret. This act, as in all plays,
gives one an insight into what is to
come, but last night few had the slight
est idea of what it was all about until
Mrs. Langtry entered, when good Eng
lish was heard.
On her first appearance she was
G reeted rather feebly, as the audience
esired to know something more of jher
artistic ability befo e paying her trib
ute. As the’ guffless village maiden
slie made a pleasant ‘impression, as she
was graceful, with an easy stage pres
ence and not in the least constrained.
From across the footlights she showed
to advantage, and forgetful of the lines
she uttered, every eye was upon hei
to see the beauty which has been the
talk of both sides of the ’ w ater. That
she is a beautiful woman, there can lie
doubt. Her regular features, clear
complexion and attractive figure, at
test this; but we have been educated to
beauty in our Southern climate, and
Mrs. Langtry’s was not of that aston
ishing character to provoke the rap
tures expected of it. She was pleasing,
modest and showed not the slightest
self-assertion As a mere novice on the
stage, her acting, of course, cannot lie
criticised as is that of an artiste. With
out power to display emotion, it could
not be expected that she would bring
out the delicate bits of nice study which
here and there crop out iu the part, aud
she did not. This was most noticeable
when it was required of her to show
jealonsy and anger in her interview
with Mrs. 3Iontressor, her rival.
Tlie company as a whole is a very
weak one, Messrs. J. G. Taylor and
John G. McDonald, as servants, with
Miss Kate Hodson, as servants, carry-
off* the honors.
[rs. Langtry iu the first act was
most pleasing, as in it the role was more
suited to tlie lady.—Timer-Democrat.
