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.

When It is all in plaeoand the word given to turn the water on, it will be a grand sight to see. Tho wilder ness of looms, spindles, corders, mules and tho thousands of curious 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.

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 ments prepared for them by tho ladles After this they were drilled on Broad street.

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. A Columbtislte.

Wo like to see mechanics kept busy, for when they work property is Improved anil the comforts of the people are Increased. We are glad to see a fresh coat of paint being put on the Inner walls of the post office, and a very suggestive card from the owner of tho building, Capt. KUnk, notllylng nail drivers not to deface the walls. That is all good, and lu the same line of good work we notice Mr. Frederick la having a cellar opened under his store. Cellars in this climate are almost Indispensable to provision merchants, as they have many commodi ties that must be kept cool if they would be kept swoot. Tho city authorities are calling on all of us to Improve the condition of our lots. This cull is made In the Interest of health, and tho well-being of the citizens at large, aud we trust it will be heeded promptly. Lots become sour, offensive and unwholesome very soon, this rainy, damp and hot weather. Manufacture), ut Columbus, Ur. New York Bulletin.j 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. From Troy uiul Intermediate Flares. A gentleman who como from Troy, Ala., yesterday gives us tho following items: Troy is building two new brick stores. Troy Masonic Lodge had a celebration and public installation of officers yester day (Monday), in a grove near the college. There was music by a cornet band, and a procession. Col. J. A. Wilson, Past Grand Master, installed the officers in line style. An address was delivered by J. Winn Moses, Esq., of Montgomery. Then fol lowed a splendid dinner at the City Hotel. It was a very pleasant affair. Tho City Hotel, Troy, has added tho lower floor, which has been made Into sleeping apartments, dining room and office. It is now a line hotel with plenty of sleeping room. Miss Johnnie Powell, aged 12 years, niece of Col. R. H. Powell, died on Sunday at Union Springs. She was an amiable and popular young lady.

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.

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.

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.
