COLUMBUS, GEORGIA.
Under tho above heading appears a
lengthy letter concerning our city, to the
Baltimore Herald. We make the follow
ing extracts from It. It was written
doubtlessly by some traveling correspon
dents:
Columbus, Muscogee county, Georgia,
Is situated on tho east bank of the Chat
tahoochee river, the boundary line be
tween Oeorgta and Alabama, and Is one of
the principal cities In the State. It was a
trading post In 1827. Two years later It
assumed the dignity and Importance of
an Incorporated town.
A stranger visiting Columbus, and look
ing upon its level streets, located in an
amphitheatre surrounded by hills
crowned with handsome suburban resi
dences, closing In upon the river ono
fourth of a mile above, mile or two
below the city, would esteem it pretty;
but rather tame, from tho flatness of the
location, relieved, however, by shade
trees growing In the centre and on both
sides of the stroet. There are many pri
vate residences, spacious and beautiful,
surrounded with shrubbery, trees, and
dowors of the most exquisite and varie
gated hues.
Before tho war Columbus was distin
guished for tho wealth and refinement of
its inhabitants, and its extensive indus
tries. In 1860 Its population embraced a
total of 9,039 souls, 3,365 of whom wore ne
groes. Its wealth was computed, includ
ing the county, at $13,687,486. Its present
population Is said to contain 15,000 souls.
$7,270,145 is the value of real and personal
pstate in county and city; of which
i mount $7,181,570 Is owned by the whites,
§588,575 by the negroes.
; Since 1865, Columbus has been steadily
’ rid rapidly regaining its losses ecca-
Kjtmed by the late war. It may now boast
ox five distinct cotton and woolen facto
ries, running 796 looms and 28,190 spin
dles, consuming 560 bales of cotton per
month, and 25,000 pounds of wool per
month, employing 1180 operatives at an
expense of $19,400 per mouth. Capital in
vested $1,500,000. There are other indus
tries in successful operation—an oil refin
sry, dye establishments, Iron works. The
first ice machine imported into Cuba was
constructed at tho foundry of this place.
Three flour and grist mills, one stove
factory, gas works, and within the last
few months a bagging factory has been
started, under the competent manage
ment and proprietorship of a gentleman
from Ohio, who for many years has
been engaged in the manufacturing of
jute. The raw material is convoyed from
Calcutta.
Jute may be naturalized in tho South
with as much ease as the cotton plant;
both are exotics, indigenous to the same
country—lndia. The latter was conveyed
from the Eastern countries to Europe;
having been sent to the Bahama Islands,
some of the seed were thence convoyed to
Georgia and planted in 1786; these wore
the parents of all the great cotton crops
since produced in the United States.
For purposes of trade Columbus is most
favorably situated, being near the centre
ef the cotton belt, and at the intersection
of an air line from one of the best ports
on the Gulf, St. Marks, to Cleveland on
the Lakes, with tho Central R. R. from
Savannah, upon the Atlantic, extending
westward to Monroe and Shreveport, La.,
where it unites with tho Southern Pacific.
In addition to these are the M. i G., the
U. & S., which with its continued projec
tion will open up the extensive coal and
iron fields of North Alabama and Georgia,
giving their iuexhaustiblo supplies of both
coal and iron. These roads, in conjunction
with the river, traversing the best cotton
regions, will enable the easy procure
ment of all needed material, should the
usual supply at Columbus, now one of tho
best interior cotton markets South, not
meet the demand.
The forest growth of the country
abounds in all varieties of lumber required
for manufacturing. The soil varies in its
nature from the richest vegetable mould
to the poorest sand.
Should the stranger follow up the river,
he will soon come upon vistas which will
strike him as exceedingly grand in scenery
satisfied, the struggling waters of the
river, loudly proclaiming power readily
and easily available, forcibly suggest
manufacturing capabilities, now tumb
ling with deafening sounds over opposing
shoals, now gliding with arrow-like rapid
ity between the main shore and islands,
which latter adding to the plcturesquo ef
fect of the scenery by wonderful parallel
ism to the main shore, would greatly aid
in controlling water power. A mile above
the city is the romantic locale, a rugged
cliff terminating in an ascending knoll of
dark rocks boldly projecting into the
river, Itermed as the “Lovers’ Leap.”
Some day these huge granite holders will
be hewn down by the industry of
man, and upon their base will rise
the structures of his genus. Closely upon
this follows the property of the Colum
bus Manufactory’s Cotton Mill, two and a
half miles above Columbus. The fall
within the limits of the company's prop
erty, a mile, is about forty-three leet,
with capacity which can be cheaply util
ized to run a half million spindles. The
Federal troops under Gen. Wilson, Invad
ing Columbus in July, 1864, reduced its
magnificent and extensive industries to
ashes and smouldering ruins. What a
sad, lamentable sight for those, who, after
long years of patient Industry, to witness
the wealth and grandeur of years swept
away In a single day by the ruinous hand
of war! Columbus was not alone in her
sorrow and destitution; ruin and devasta
tion spread throughout the entire South.
How truly sublime are the efforts of a
country, its industries reduced to ashes,
its commerce swept away, the magnifi
cent opulence and boasted chivalry of its
inhabitants sacrificed to the inevitable of
war; and, alter having passed through
the throes of a long and destructive civil
war, to recover from its terrible and de
vastating effects, and to regain that
proud and eminent position it formerly
occupied, and which was its glorious and
honored privilege to enjoy.
Scarcity l Money,
There is no doubt but the present condi
tion of all kinds of business and industry
is fearfully depressed, and it behooves
every family to look carefully to their ex
penses. Winter is coming on when chil
dren are liable to Croup, Whooping
Cough, etc. Coughs and Colds will pre
vail everywhere, and Consumption, with
other throat and lung diseases, will carry
off many.—These diseases should not be
neglected. Doctor’s bills are expensive,
and would advise our people to use Bos
chee’s German Syrup. It never has
failed. One bottle at 75 cents 'will keep
your whole family well during the winter.
Two doses will relieve any case. Sold in
all towns in the United States, and by
your Druggists

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All tbe farmers were of the “well to do” sort, aud some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. Tbe soil is loam, varying from Bandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck arc stored, sufficient (o fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country Is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate. ___

Xanthine Cos,, Richmond, Va.:
I have ueed the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, remeving and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it, gloßty aud pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.
