A A m WHATTHE PEOPLE OF THESTATE ARE DOING.- Paris, September 2.???As I anticipated, the journey front Pisa to Turin was by no means pleasant, owing to the heat and dust in the first place, and the constantly recurring tun nels. The view of the Mediterranean sea was very lovely, but we could only catch glimpses of it now and then. The headlands and promontories are very numerous, and as we approach Geneva, these points of land are pierced by tunnels, which shut out all objects and fill the cars with smoke and soot. Some times the train would l>c above the water, and yet in a tunnel, the little arms and creeks being bridged over, the masonry being con tinuous for miles. The Italian government now owns all the railroads, but whether they were constructed by it, I could not ascertain. Few private companies, it seems to me, would undertake the task of building railroads in such a mountainous country as Italy. The grades arc very heavy, the track ascending the- mountain ranges, as near**istqja, and descending with wonderful abruptness. From all that I could see, these roads are not paying dividends to the state. Freight trains are very few on all of them, and the passenger travel is nowhere very extensive. Besides these farts, it is plain that the running ex- j>enscs must be high. Every train has, in ad dition to the engineer and his aids, a con ductor, who examines the tickets, and does this sometimes while the train is in motion, walking outside the car, on a step which runs its entire length. Besides tho conductor there are many guards???five or six to every train. At a ???stazione,??? or station, the guards ojicn the carriage doors, and announce the name of the place, and assist passengers to nml from the compartments. One end of the first-class cars is cut off into a '???coupe-lit,'??? or sleeping car. There is room for only one person in most of them, and is simply a scat without a division in the middle. For this ???sleeper??? an enormous charge is made. From Paris to Turin, one night, the extra charge is 35 francs, or $0.(15. From Paris to Rome, two nights, the extra charge is 56 francs, or $10.64! I observed that very few persons availed themselves of these sleepers for, with acompartinontcontainingonly three jiersons, it is possible to pass the night witli as much comfort as the coupe would afford. I observe one other fact in regard to the railway carriages. Those on the French lines run more steadily???the motion in mast of the Italian cars being a most unpleasant jerk, similar to the action of the old stage coach This uneasy motion renders reading on the cars a difficult and injurious practice. The venders of eatables and drinks arc not so numerous in France as in Italy. The railway ???buffet" takes their place. As we passed the little town of Arenza, the mountains, out of which the celebrated Car rara marble is obtained, glittered like hanks of snow. A branch road leads to Carrar a journey of only twelve minutes. I would have enjoyed a visit to the marble quarries, If I had taken them on the journey towards Rome instead of returning from it. But I have seen so much of marble forms and shapes, and have had so much of marble dust in my throat that I was content to view the deposits afar off. There is enough marble in those miles of mountain heights, whitened and seamed with the beautiful stone, to build many cities, and to give employment to sculptors for ages to come. At the railroad depot there were countless piles of the rare marble, in large blocks, sawed into slabs, and worked into various forms, awaiting shipment abroad. Indeed, a great part of northwestern Italy is a bed of marble. Tiiroughoift the entire length of the country???in the 700 miles that I have passed through???the geology in dicates tlie prevalence of limestone every where. Granite rocks are not seen at ail. Notwithstanding this fact, coal of a superior quality is very scarce, and the venders of charcoal are as extensively engaged in the cities as those of the ???carbon fossil." The dust of the bituminous coal is mixed with petroleum, pressed into bricks, ami sold for fuel. Nothing in these countries is thrown away, or lost, except time. I passed Genoa a little before nigh fall. The view from the railway is not impressive enough to 'justify the title of "Genoa the su perb." One change in the style of building the traveler notices. The houscsaregcnerally frescoed on the outside. Pillars, and courts, and fancy work of all kinds are painted on the exterior of the buildings and give a very beautiful effect. New houses, in the same style are going up, and if marble statues are not so numerous in Genoa, the art of the painter is employed instead. The hay is not so striking in its features as that of "Naples. From this point to Alexandria we were con tinually passing through tunnels, but as it was night only the rush of smoke and cinders in the cars gave notice of the fact that we were traveling under ground Another day in Turin afforded me an oppor tunity to see the few attractive objects there. The monument to Italian independence is a structure 375 feet high, and was originally in tended for a Jewish temple. The Israelites in Turin began to bnild, but were unable to finish. The city bought it, and dedicated it to the present use. The vault is 100 feet high, and is decorated with many trophies, flags, weapons, statuary, etc. The Waldcnsian church here has a singular history. For many ages the Vandois. living in the valleys of the neighboring mountains, were persecuted bv fire and sword, but they could not be extermi nated. These ancient witnesses for prot- estantisni ar>- now represented in Turin by many of their descendants. Their church was partly built by the Sardinian government and thus one of the descendants of the bitter persecutors of these poor people has done all In liis power to atone for the wrongs commit ted by his ancestors. No wonder that Victor Emanuel stands, in the affection of the Italhin people, as our own Washington does in America. His principles, in the govern ment of church and state, were well calcu lated to build up and perpetuate a united people. Once more I passed through Mount Cents tunnel, but this time in the.nigbt. Leaving Tunis at 8:30, we arrived at Modane, on the French territory, a little before one o'clock. Here the usual inspection of baggage had to be endured. However, the simple statement to tlie officer, "Je suis Americaine"???I am an American???acted as a charm.. He bowed to me, chalked my pornianteau without looking inside, and I returned with it, by the help of a porter, to the ear. At Turin I had taken the precaution to doff my summer clothing and put on a winter suit. It was well that I did so, for the chilly air made the assistance of my shawl necessary in order to keep warm. When the daylight???dawned fully we had reached Macon, in tlie valley of the Rhone. There a comfortable breakfast put a new face upon everything. The famous French coffee 1 find everywhere at the railroad ???buffets.??? It was never more acceptable than on this with what care and industry these peo ple raise them! Women at work in the fields, holding the bridle of the horse, whilst the man guides the plow or the harrow, or handling the hoes as one ???to the manner born.??? Heavy loads they carry on their hacks, and regard shoes as an impediment or needles* luxury. Acres of vines, and fruit trees appear on every side, and the tall, grace ful Lombardy poplar is seen in rows, seem ingly trained to grace and symmetry. The peach and fruit trees arc bound to walls of stone, and vines likewise. It is a sad reflec tion for France, that her grape culture is de clining. The destructive phyloxera, a micro scopic insect, lias reduced tlie products of the vine to a little more than one-third of former vears. Nearly one-lialf of the vineyards in Burgundy have been almost completely de stroyed, and the French now import large quantities of Spanish wines for their own use. It is said that exi>erimcnt3 have been made which lead to tlie hope that the American vines may he transplanted here, and escape the ravages of the destroyer. I am not suf ficiently acquainted with tlie facts to express an opinion hut it is evident that science must come to the rescue of the vine culture in France. Nature has deprived tills people of water that is fit to drink. The vine is their only resource???if this fails then tlie country must suffer, for diseases of a stubborn charac ter would follow the use of the saline waters of France and Italy. It may happen, how ever, that, in a sense of which Mr. Canning had no conception, ???the new world lias been brought into being to restore the balance of the old." If it be true that the destroying in sect does not attack the American vine, not oniy will the business of transplanting flour ish," but the American vines ought to come Into use in Europe. The vitiated tastes of the American public, however, requires alcohol to be added to tiie pure juice of the grape, to make our wine ???sell." I have had now nearly a month???s ixpe- rience and observation on tlio continent. I have not seen a man stagger from drink, or one seemingly intoxicated in any degree. Fiery liquors the natives do not use. What may be tlie facts in the right season, or in F laces devoted to carousal and immorality, cannot tell. But, beyond a doubt, intem perance is not seen in the highways and pub lic places of Europe as we see in England and America. In Italy the people drink a great deal. Multitudes spend their evenings in summer in the gardens, or, as in Paris, in front, of the cafes, on tlie sidewalks, and de canters, bottles, syphons and variously col ored drinks are to'be seen everywhere. Yet, coining and going in these assemblies, from Paris to Naples, I have not detected the odor of rum, gin. brandy or whisky in a single in stance. In former yenrs I was inclined to the opinion that the culture of tlie grape anil the common use of wine ean only be relied upon as a true temperance reformation in tlie Uni ted States. The assertion of some travelers that there was as much drunkenness in tlie wine-producing countries of Europe as else where caused me to reconsider this opinion. But I have now the testimony of my own senses. Intemperance, if it exists, does not show itself on the streets or in the public places of France and Italy. This is certainly a great blessing. The people tell me that a drunken person is seldom ever seen???many have told me that they' have never seen a man intoxicated in their lives. Climatic influences and the peculiarities of their languages make the people of France and Italy appear boisterous and noisy. In Rome I was freqently annoyed by loud talk ing in a wine shop near my hotel. More than once, from the violent language and abusive epithets I thought a fight would be the result. Men and women were in this shop, eating and drinking at midnight, and some of them were playing games of chance. Yet there was no collision, except of words and tlie end of the matter was a loud laugh and the jeering of the crowd at the individual who had been most excited. In ail these cases, however, I watched the party as they left, soon after midnight. No one held liis fellow to keep him from falling in tlie street. Tlicir steps were as firni and their demeanor as quiet after those blasts of quarreling, or of noisy mirth, as that of the ordinary citizen. In a word, they may have been heated with wine, but they certainly were not drunk. Among the thousands of statues I have seen, oniy one represents a drunkard???one man overcome with wine. This was pointed out to me, in every place, witli the remark: ???Too much wine ??? There is much food for reflec tion in these facte. The statesman, the phi lanthropist, tlie minister of religion, are all interested in this problem in America. Pro hibition will not destroy an appetite. As iong as the appetite exists the means of its gratification will be found in defiance of all laws. It may he possible to train this appe tite, in the rising generation at least, to tlie use of light and harmless wines. The exper- ment. it seems to me, offers tlie only satis factory solution of tlie temperance question. As the reader lias been already informed, there was an election for members of the chamber of deputies in Fntnee, a few day ago. M. Gambetta, the leading man i French politics, was more deeply intereste in this contest, perhaps, than any other pe son. He lias been accused by the monarch! party as not only leaning towards, but ??? by word and deed, commute to the extreme radical wing of the republican party. Whilst addressin his constituents some two weeks ago, lie was met by a storm of cries and hisses which pre vented him from speaking. He denounced his enemies as unworthy of liberty, and a di: grace to the French name. He predicted that tlie ensuing election would fully exoner ate him from the libels of a portion of the press. In this prediction, the event lias justi fied him. Tlie moderate republicans have elected an overwhelming majority of the chamber. French politics is little understood America. Indeed it is no easy matter to com prehend tlie questions at issue here. From "Le Temps" of to-day. I have been able to gather a few items which will throw some light upon the present struggle. There is only a small party now who favor the restora tion of bourbons. This faction, and that of the Bonapartes, seems to be growing smaller. It is remarked by all thinking men here, that the republic is a fixed fact. But there are serious questions before the republican party. Socialism, as represented oy the insane theo- rists of the commune, is by no means a feeble element in French society. The destruction of every institution established, and the sub- stitution of new and untried measures is their watchword. Tlie French senate is considered aristocratic in its present form, and the iife- tenure of senators will be, sooner or later, modified to a term of years. The chief points of interest, however, I find in an address to the 17tU arrondissement, by the republican committee. There was no choice in this district on the 21st of August, and a special election is ordered. In the cir cular of the committee occurs this paragraph: ???Our political programme is that of the im mense majority of tlie republican party. We 'demand the revision of the constitution; the separation of tlie churches and the state; tlie reform of the magistracy; lay instruction, gratuitous obligatory ami pro fessional; the liberty of the press; the reduc- ;i >n of military service; the right of- reunion and of association; and tlie municipal fran chises." There are in this programme, two points of interest to us in the United States. The first is the lay instruction of the people. This means the divorce of the public scuool from the Roman Catholic church. The great pow er of that church has been maintained by its control of the system of education. When education is no longer the sole function of the church, tlie influence of Romanism will decline, as a necessary consequence. The compulsory part of the programme is of doubtful expediency, but there seems to be, in France, as in America, a conviction that due to the folly of Louis Napoleon as to the wisdom of Bismarck. France was not ready for war???she had no cause for a struggle with Germany. She was vain, pretentious, and loud in her boasting. The Germans were se date, cautious, well prepared, and had a well- officered army. This is tlie simple truth. ranee was in the wrong. She was not pre pared for war._ Germany was, and went into the struggle with justice and reason on her side, and success attended her arms because she held her troops well in hand, and moved with the celerity of lightning upon her ene my. France relied upon her past glory, and trusted a man who had deceeived her more than once. Her defeat was inevitable. Be cause ninety-nine out of every hundred among the Prussian soldiers" can read and write, it does not follow for that reason that they are superior to Frenchmen on tlie field of battle. An army is a pure des potism, and education does no???t qualify men for despotic rule. The second point of interest to us, in the republican programme, is the separation of the churches from the state. Both the Pro testant and Catholic churches are now sus tained by the public treasury. ??? The Protest ants are few in number, and for the most part, will heartily welcome this movement. To the Catholics it bodes no good. Whether the extraordinary establishment maintained at this time can survive the test of a volunta ry support by the people can only be known by the event. It will be a revolution in har mony with the spirit of the nineteenth cen tury, and its accomplishment will hasten tlie disestablishment of the Church of England. Germany will follow, in the natural order of things, and then the true status of religion will be obtained. Protection to all???subven tion to noue. Let the people support the ministry???let them give of tlieir means for the maintenance of the clergymen of their choice. This, say the French republicans, we mean, and this only. We are not hostile to religion. We do not desire to destroy the Christian religion. We wish to restore it to the simplicity which characterized it in the time of Christ and his apostles. We cannot suffer the church to absorb the wealth of the nation, in order to concentrate it in a few cathedrals and costly churches. It Chris tianity has not gained, in eighteen centuries, enough in popular favor to preserve it from overthrow, it does not deserve to live. In the same direction is the movement for secularizing certain properties now held by religious bodies. These estates are now of little or no service to the pub lic. They were acquired by questionable means, and are held by sufferance only. These properties should be restored to the state, and by the state disposed of in such manner as will best serve the interests of the people. Other countries, jnore thoroughly catholic at heart than France, have already taken this step, and the time is not distant when Italy will emancipate a large portion of her territory from the bondage of ages. To my miml, all of these movements are pro phetic of a welcome progress. Truth cannot die. The Christian religion needs neither the sword nor the purse of the state to sustain it. Inherent in man???s nature is the principle which demands some form of worship. Tin Bible and the Christian pulpit are stronj enough to maintain themselves. The example of tlie United States in this particular, as in others, is moulding the politics of Europ The voluntary support of the Christian churches by their own adherents, is a double benefit. To the church it means a conserve than which restrains ???from useless expendi ture of money upon vain and unprotitable enterprises. To tlie people, it acts as a tie binding every individual to the church of hi choice by a sense of personal interest in it welfare. That these measures will be adopted in France, the next few months, I have no doubt will demonstrate. The divisions of the French people are becoming less and less formidable, and the establishment of a per manent and reliable government more and more certain. This, at least, seems to be the teaching of the recent elections. There is still, however, a lingering doubt among many who understand tlie fickleness of the Frcneli character. Prophets of evil abound???but they are everywhere. Let us hope for the best. W. P. H. Falling of a Partially Constructed Hotel at Jesup???

McDonough, November 17.???To-night at 8 o???clock the cry of fire was heard from the four colored in mates of the Henry county jail. It was soon ascer tained that the hall of the upper storv of the jail was in a solid fire and the flames leaping out of the barred windows. The poor inmates were crying and praying for help. Their screams were heart rending. Scores of the citizens, white and col ored, were soon on the spot. Heroic ef forts were made to enter the iron ceiled and floored dungeons with axes and sledge hammers, but with out avail. No man could enter by the stairway, for the upper hall was a sheet of flames. Ladders'were thrown against the buiidirig, and while the flames were licking the very eaves through the windows of the hall the bars were beaten and cut away, and hundreds of gallons of water thrown in. While the flames were thus beaten back brave men entered and fought to the extinguishment of the flames. The cries of the poor inmates ceased as they fell senseless in the dungeon from the purehing heat and suffocation. Without intending to be in vidious where all did so bravely and systematised this fight for the prisoner???s lives, it is but just to mention Samuel E Dailey, Wiley J. Heflin, Messrs. Goodwin, Judge Nolan, Robert H. Tomlinson, James Johnson, of Hampton, Doctor E. M. Nolan, and William Bradley, colored. Dailey effected the entrance, and Doctor Nolan rushing in with him and feeling for the senseless prisoners in impenetrable smoke and scorching neat, dragged them to the head of the stairway for others to bear down. A long time elapsed before the prisoners were conscious. They were removed to the court house and comfortably eared for by our excellent sheriff, Willis Goodwin, though-but little hope is entertained for the life of two of the pris oners. Colonel Knott, the county treasurer, and Dr. Nolan, are doing everything possible for their comfort und recovery at this late hour. Athens, November 17.???Mr. James A.
