In order to correct any wrong impres

tion between the two excursions to At
lanta, I will state that. Mr. L. C. Garrett
has contracted for and secured a special

Columbus; and from Ills success In the

JULY mi., istt,
The interest felt In the splendidly ap
pointed excursion of Mr. L. C. Garrett, of
July 3.‘, Is the absorbing subject now thnt
engages the thoughts of all who would
make a flying trip to Atlanta, and see all
the sights, and slip back home again with
out spending much money or losing much
tlruo. Mr, Garrett understands those
things. He docs not propose to colonize
hla patrons on Atlanta hotel keepers at a
high faro, for several days; after all inter
est In the visit has ceased, that he may
share the profits; but ho brings them back
home in good time, after the sights have
been enjoyed. Tickets for Garnett's

It must continue to pour for weeks yet,

the word given to turn the water on, it
will be a grand sight to see. Tho wilder

modern Inventions to spin, weave and
furnish cloth of all kinds for tho waiting
markets, suddenly put to performing
their respective parts, and performing
them with a precision and perfection that
long experience alone can enable tho most
Ingenious man to roach. Machinery Is

more of it than any company in the

The City Light Guards.
The City Light Guards turned out with
32 uniforms for dress parade and drill yes
terday, under W. L. Salisbury, their Cap
tain. They were marched first to tho
green and on their return back, were in
vited to partake of some delicious refresh

After this they were drilled on Broad

Hot Weather, Trade, fcc.
If a high degree of heat is all that ia
necessary now to develop vegetation to its
proper perfection, wo may cherish tho
hope that all is going on well in that im
portant kingdom. It was certatuly hot
enough yesterday to satisfy tho longings
or any thing—not excepting tho fabled
salamander. But, notwithstanding the
heat that raged, tho streets were
full of peoplo—"buying, and sell
ing, and getting gain’’; and what
struck us was tho amount of gain that
some were getting—those who had good
peaohos, for lnstunco. A good load of
peaches would have sold for more than
anew bale of cotton.
The late rains and tlie well-grounded
hopes of tho planters in regard to grow
ing crops make everything like trade
move eusily on. Tlie merchant sees his
customer smiling over his teeming Holds,
uud it makes him liberal iu his dealings,
for there is assurance of full settlements
when the gathering time comes. A good
tihy is near at hand for us all—we hope.

are almost Indispensable to provision

There are now in operation at Colum
bus eight cotton mills, one woolen and
one bagging factory, four flouring and
grist estabUsuments, two foundries, a
plow manufactory, steam onglno and
boiler works, and a number of minor In
dustries, among which may bo counted
steamboat building. Tho arnonnt Invest
ed In manufacturing far exceeds that of
any town in tho Houth, and Is Increasing
year by year. The cotton and woolen
mills now run 35,000 spindles aad 1,200
looms, and only iu four months the show
ing will be 65,000 spindlos, 2,0j0 looms.
A competent manufacturer is now en
gaged iu making drawings arid estimates
for anew mill of 32,000 spindles, to bo
constructed by a Northern company.
This will increase the spindles at Colum
bus to 87,000. The 55,000 spindles consume
18,000 bales of cotton a year and the
looms 300,000 pounds of wool. The largest
factory, the Eagle ft Phenix has a capital
stock of $1,250,000, and from the earnings
of last your declared a dividend of eight
per ceut, ami all declared some dividends.
The surprise in this immense system is
that all lias been established since the
late war, and upon the sites of former es
tablishments burned by the Northern
armies.

Reviving An Old Custom.
If we are rightly Informed, before the
war, It was customary with tho houorary
members of the Columbus Guards, to hol
soclal gatherings now and then during
the year, and spend tho evening relating
anecdotes of the!/ war and campaign ex
periences.
This pleasant custom, wo learn, Is
thought by some of the living members,
worthy of revival, and we have no doubt
but that such meetings would bo highly
agreeable to the honorary membership
and beneficial to the young and active
members of tho Guards, whom we sup
pose will not be excluded from their meet
ings.
Lieutenant CHIT. B. Grimes Is now noti
fying the honorary members through
circulars, that their names are to bo put
upon the revised list of tho Company,
which will contain all those, who have
served honorably from its first organiza
tion down to the present day, and are now
upon the retired list.
This Jlst will hereafter setve as the
“Dooqgblay Book” of the Company, for
Lieut. Grimes is so completing it,.that it
will be authentic in evory particular.
We will now stato for information of the
honorary members living In Columbus,
that In several weeks, Capt. Shepherd
will summon them out to target practice,
and that they had better make good the
Intervening time by taking a shot or so
when they can. A prize will be offered
for tho beet shot.
The Columbus € hoi-ul Union.
Tha annual election of Directors for the
Columbus Choral UnlotL will take place on
the flr6t Monday night In July.
The present Board is such a competent
one, that we presume most, if not all of
them, will be re-elected.
Prof. Chase, as Musical Director, has no
equal In the city, and from his pnst suc
cessful management, the body of tho
Union will doubtless cheerfully re-elect
him to that position.
The Concert rehearsals will now lie car
ried on without Interruption.
A Dance In Honor of the Scrubs
A large ball will ba given to-night, at
Hart’s Hall, Eufaula, in honor of the
Scrubs Baso Ball Chib, by the Eufaula
Club. It will be a magnittcent affair for
&ur bbyS,’for thcifiliasß ball friends have
made all necessary preparations for their
accommodation and enjoyment, aud Eu
faula’s fascinating beauties, will lend
thoir grace and wit to the occasion.

Gulden Grains fur the Grainger*.
The true objects of the Grange,
say the Rural IVurld, are:
1. The promotion of a spirit of
brotherhood among agriculturists.
2. The elevation of agriculture by
the mental, moral aud social im
pro Yeti cut of its members, vvhjeh is
to be effected by frequent meetings,;
frep discussion, a oouivation Of the
taste for the beautiful, tlie reflning
influence of the presence of woman,
and the reading of such books, peri
odicals and newspapers as tend to
promote there objects.
3. Tlieadoptiou of a more rational
system of ullage-one that will t*.
quire the exercise of more brffin and
secure for tho farmer a larger return
for his labors—a return commensu
rate with the capital, brain and
muscle employed in its production.
4. Higher prices to the farmer for
all he produces, and oh caper prices
for all he consumes, by adopting the
cheapest outlets to the markets of
the world, direct trade between those
who are mutual consumers of each
other’s products, and the cash sys
tem-thus dispensing with the ser
vices of an army of middle men who.
now subsist on the fruits of proiuc-:
tive industry.
5. Economy in expenses—pnlfiett
larly the purchase of nothing that
can be as cheaply produced at home.
6. Local manufacturing establish
ments of all kinds—the encourage
ment of homo labor iq al( branches
of industry. { ; . : . )
7. The making Of hohifc beautiful
and farm life attractive.
8. Opposition to special and class
legislation in every form, and the
curbipg of the power jof monopolies,
gained by misgutdedt legtslatiqja in
the past.

prove self-seekers nor the tools of

Fighting Joe Hooker.
Bpeakiug of gamblers, says the
San Francisco Argonaut, we call to
mind, out of many clever men and
many honest men, tho names of
Charley burroughs and billy Chap
man. For some of the virtues of
life, and for some of the manlier
traits, they would compare more
tliau favorably with mauy we have
known of higher pretensions. We
call to mind one incident: Chapman
and burroughs kept the room at the
cotter of Mkifchant and Kearny
strFitSi Wtr Bad Jiassed through
an exciting political campaign,
burroughs and Chapman were
both New England men, both
Republicans, both loyal. It was
betore trie trans-continental
telegraph. Tho Pony Express
brought the news of the war. Utgan
ized rebellion had tired upon the
grand old llag ut Sumter; tho fori
had yielded, and tho stars and
stripes had been dragged from its
flagstaff, and in its place was raised
the standard of rebellion, the flag of
the ralmolto Slate. Around their
rooms hung an halVu< a gamMler,
and one who had n foitufce i£ wjpoing
tho tickle, wicked toddi-as ; a gentle
man, a craduaiu of Wfct iotat, but a
ruined and afßrost recklrJi man.
The news came in about nine
o’clock iu the evening of the tak
ing ot Sumter. There was no more
playing that night. Then it was that,
from the sofa, where he had been
lounging, there uprose u handsome
and niauly form. The half inebiiated
reckless man was truusfnmicd as if by
magic, into the splendid soldier. “Now,
said he, ‘ls my lime! Time lo redeem
myself and serve my country. I have
been educated for a soldier.” Chap
man turned to the money drawer of the
faro labre, auditing H nandful of gold.
Bajd,,!fTake flii*. go and purchase what
Vbn want. iTfWuy your ticket the steam
er sails to-morrow morning ut nine
o’olock.” The steamer sailed, and from
the generosity and patriotism of William
Chapman and Charles Burroughs, the
two professional gamblers of Ban Francis
co, the country received the splendid and
gallant services of fighting Joe Hooker,
the hero of Lookout Mountain.
