Georgia Pine and the Central. Tin Dawson News of this week, furnishes the following bit of mis- infornmth >n regarding the Georgia Pine railroad, despite the fact that the rumored sale of the Geor- gia Pine to the Central has been officially d<v med at headquarters of both roads. Here it is: “Mr L. A. Hatcher, the well- known Dawson drummer, was at home Saturday and Sunday, and told circumstances that point to the reliability of the report that the Central has bought the Geor¬ gia Pirn Railway. Mr. Hatcher says the Central will lay the track < } f the Georgia Pine and complete the road into Arlington and that both roads will use the same depot and have other facilities in com¬ mon. Mr. Hatcher says the Georgia Pine people deny the ru¬ mored sale, but that there is much going on that gives color to the report. i 1 Cervcra Ordered Back to Spain. Orders have been received at Annapolis from the president dir renting Admiral Ccrvera to make the arrangements to proceed with his officers and men hack to Spain immediately in accordance with the instructions issued by the Spanish minister of marine. The officers were very enthusi- asfic when they received the news. It is understood, that they will re- turn without giving parole. Cap¬ tain Eulate has left for New York. A . baxiey dispatch the , An- 1 to gwnta Herald says: A [>f ctiliut . religious innovation has gained ground ... tins and rummmling counties. The believers of the faith erect alters in the mv P . n “ ail congregating around them in indiscriminate masses of women at d children, pray, shout, and struggle with each other in then- frenzy, ' frequently wonndino- their fellow worshippers. Many of them fall into an unconscious ouditlon, Bom wilich • they ., . arise . declaring themselves in a purified condition. Wiueh. they declare, renders them superior to St. Paul and the equal of Christ, The religious stimulus seems to affect the nerves and cause a quick jerlc- ing motion to become epidemic in the as , S em),]ag e s. The Monitor has succeeded in arranging with the Toledo, Ohio, Blade, tile greatest national weekly newspaper in th > United States, whereliy we can club that })aper and the Monitor for Jvt per year, cash, The Monitor will make this proposition to those who are already subscribers to the Monitor and are in arrears for their subscription : We will give the Blade free to all who will pay their .-ubscription in cashBetween now and October 15.

Joiner, 27 Washington street, Albany, Ga They Are All Giants. The American soldiers seem to have mane a great impression upon the Povtoricans, by their size which is gigantic, compared to that of the natives or tile Spanish, says an ex¬ change. The first troops landed at Ponce were Pensylvany and Wiscon¬ sin regiments, all men of line stature, some of them more than six feet in height, and commanded by officers of equally fine physique. The Porto Rico horses and mules are propor- tionately undersized as compared with the American varieties, and t hese latter came in for a share of the wondering admiration.
