These, over sanguine, may have been deceived but they are the pioneers of a great movement that will sooner or later ensue. A correspondent in Canton lias heard the whistle of tin' Kngine of the M. cV X. G. Railroad and is justly jubilant over the future prosperity of that little town. For several years it will remain | the head of the road and in that : time w ilt become a town of some j magnitude. The chief denefit oft the road,however,will not be eon lined to the towns,but will enure j to the country of vast resources ! through which it passes. The cause of the quarrel be tween Cox and Alston is stated by a member of the coroner's jury as j follows: Mr. Wallers had been in correspondence with (ieneral Gordon about the purelease of Ids portion of the lease. Col. Al ston had ottered it to Mr. Walters but he had either hesitated or de , dined and in the meantime a trade was made with Mr. C. 15. Howard for#!,two. Mr. Walters then ottered $<51)00. tie was to pay Cox *3,500 tor his >#uire and *3,500 per annum for him to run the business for him. It will thus be seen the cause of Cox's anxiety to have the trade eon stimulated in that wav Anew started in Spuria Georgia has the following motto: -••Ami his hand shall heagaiust every humbug, and every hum hug’s hand shall heagaiust him." I he following is from its editorial: ••Ring rule is a curse to which m* people worthy of freedom will submit. On ull questions of public interest the will of people should be the law of the land. The people are greater than their rulers, save when they sleep over their rights.

Forsyth has suffered a great deal since the war from burglars but the way of the trasgressor is hard, and at last the criminals are beginning to receive the re ward of then* misdeeds. Three have been lately caught, convict ed and sentenced, and last week one of them. Lorenzo Littlejohn, colored, who robbed a store there on Christmas last, was sentenced to the penitentiary for twelve years. The A/fverttner says this is a terrible punishment, hut il was riehlv deserved. The Aflunta cotton factory is looming up again. Once more Mr. Kimball ,->ays it is all right, : that it has settled its difficulties j and will speedily start up. Terrible prairie Ures recently occurred iu and Cloud counties, Kansas, extending over an area of ten miles long and three wide. About one hundred homes were consumed, and large quantities of grain, farm iinple meats, etc. The inhabitants took refuge in dugouts and under ground habitations. Hut one life j is reported lost—Mrs. Brtrwerson 1 —who was burned to death while | attempting to release some hors j es from a burning stable. The ! loss is estimated at *40,000. ••As an evidence that small farms well cultivated are the most profitable, we have only to compare France with England. The former, since her war with Prussia, lias adopted the policy of dividing her lauds into small tracts and cultivating thoroughly. The result is that her people have grown rich, besides paying an enormous war debt, and to day her wheat product exceeds that of the I’nitod States hy over n million of bushels; and all other agricultural productions stand in nearly the same proportion. England on the contrary has pursued her old policy of thirty thousands nabobs owning all the lands in England proper, and like our own country growing poorer and poorer each succeed year."

We learn that the pilot boat ■Surprise towed a large dead whale into Port Royal on Friday last. The Surprise spoke the crew of a whaling schooner having this monster of the deep in tow. and as night was coming on and the schooner was making but little headway, the pilot boat relieved her and brought the whale into the port named. The schooner reported a school of whales off Port Royal, which was subse quently seen by the pil<B boat, and the supposition is that there is some bay in the vicinity of the harbor sought by them during the month of March—the breed ing season. The whale referred to will, we understand, yield from 800 to 000 barrels of oil, and about 1,000 or 1,200 pounds of bone. —Sd i;auim/i .Ye >rx. The Zulus. From recent publications upon Zulu land, brought out by the British disaster there, il appears that the Zulus are by far the most warlike tribe in South Afri j on. Their conquests have been extended further than those of \ any other, and but for the arms and organization of the white I man, it is believed t hat they would have reached the walls of | Cape Town as conquerors before this. They are described as enor ; raous eaters of meat when food is plentiful, but as being capable of ! enduring famine for a long time , when if is scanty. The most lion i orable position in Zulu land is that of soldier, and boys are trained for military service ai an early age. Wives are held as property, and valuable property, for the reason that the greatest reward of a soldier is to receive a present of a wife. The Zulu chiefs are ignorant of anything except cattle and the extension of terri tory, and their conversation is devoted to these subjects. They have however, a Quaker habit of [ remaining silent for hours. This I silence is held to give them dig nity, but it is embarrassing to the inteviower. The curious fact is developed that these ignorant warlike Bushmen possess no lit tie artistic skill. Scenes of the chase and of native costume are j found portrayed upon the rough ! rocks with vigor, and with a few l colors of such permanent eharac ter that they appear as fresh as if executed recently. The ani mills, and figures ol the hunters are characteristically rendered in these pictures, ami delineation ol* the chase is made with spirit. It is noted, however, as singular that showing such art in capacity and instinct, the Zulus are inca liable of attempting tlie erection of any description of house, but shelter themselves in caverns, rocky niches, lmsh coverings and tlie like. The English have con siderable respect for the Zulus, now that they show such fighting capacity, and no doubt books up on Zulu land will take the place this season that Stanley's book upon interior Africa did last. A Tiger Hunt. f IVtilV TIMES WITH TWO TIOKHS WHICH ESCAPED FROM TIIKIK CAGES. Un Monday, January *>, tvo tigers belonging to the ex King of Undo, whose house i- on the left hank of the Hooghly, escaped from their cage, a keeper having incautiously left the door of their cage open when cleaning it. One was shortly after killed in th ■ King's grounds by a Superin tendent of Police. The other swam across the river and land ed near tho ghat in the Botanical Gardens. Shortly after landing lie knocked down and mauled Mr. Bienuan, one of the European as sistants. Mr. Scott and he had after first seeing the tiger, gone into a house, but came out again to look for the brute, their atten tion being momentarily disturb cd by the chattering of a monkey —an unusual sound in the Botan ical Gardens. The brute seized his opportunity, and springing past a native, who was in front of the two gentlemen, knocked dowa one; lie then immediately returned to his lair, and remain ed in the gardens all day. Owing to the presence of Stripes in the gardens, various picnic parties had to return without landing, though one party foolishly insist ed on landing notwithstanding contrary orders, but was soon obliged to beat a retreat. To ward nightfall the brute was heard giving tongue near the ban van tree, and shortly before day break it killed two bullocks in a small clearing a short distance to the north of the tree. The bul locks were tied up in a shed : one it dragged outside, and ate one hind quarter, the other it left dead inside. Early on T uesday morning some native shikaris were in the garden trying to stalk Stripes, one of them, while peering into a small brake, was severely handled, and is not ex peeled to recover. During the day these shikaris were reinforc ed by some gentlemen from Cal futta;but their efforts to get near Stripes were unavailing, and they retired about 4 o’clock and left the grounds. In the after noon a machan was erected in the jungle to the north of the gardens, near the scene of the kill, from the top of which the shikaris might have an oppoi tu nity of spotting Stripes, should he return to the scene of his feast the night before. To make mat tors doubly sure an awning was improvised on the roof of a small pucka house not far from the kill, and a live bullock was securely tied to a tree a few yards distant from the house, within full view of the shikaris on the roof, some plantain trees being cut away to give better aim. A speculation had risen as to whether Stripes would prefer dead meat to live. In the course of the night the question was set at rest. Shortly after six four gentlemen proceed ed from Bishop’s College to the scene of the kill,and placed them selves in positions for a good shot—two on the machan two on the top of the pucka house. It was then discovered that shoot ing could not be depended on without something to eat gone of the party immediately went oil for materials for food and drink, and as he was returning with a ehatikiderdistinctly heard Stripes not far oil', lie hastened on with the food, which was soon dispatched inside the pucka house tables and chairs being dispens ed with. Posts were again taken up, and -mon after the brute was again heard giving tongue, as he was prowling about in scroll of food ; this-went on for about an hour, the bullock near the house showing evident signs of intense alarm, though perfectly silent. For half an hour after this the stillness of a clear moonlight night remained perfectly unbro ken ; all eyes were on the stretch when suddenly, with a magnifi cent bound a line full-grown tiger was on the bullock. Instantly a shot was fired, the brute doubled up. and tlie bullock bolted off at full speed; another shot was now tired, and Stripes evidently re eeived this too, for he sprung aside into the jungle about twen ty paces, moaned and all was still. Tlie shikaris being uncertain whether Stripes was really dead determined to spend the rest of the night where they were, it not being considered safe in the un certain light of the moon to ven ture in search of him, beaters be ing at a discount. Soon after some chaukidars arrived with beaters and passed close to where Stripes was last seen; the men on the machan then came down and spent the rest of the night on the more comfortable roof of the puka house, belonging to a cow keeper. As soon as it was light all hastened down to have a look and there sure enough was Stripes a magnificent animal, lying on his right side quite dead. One shot had caught him on the left shoulder, the other in the right (lank. The honor of this kill rests with Mr. Wace.of Howrah.— ('nh'vtia Englishman. Wbrth Twice the Sum.
