CONSTITUTIONALIST AUGUSTA. GhA. TUESDAY MOBKDTG, NOV. 9, 1869 OUR FUTURE POPULATION. In our comments in Sunday’s issue, on Mr. David Dickson’s calculation as to the future population of this country, we only endeavored to show that, by his own basis of an increase of 8,000,000 every seven years, the population would not amount in 1959 to more than 78,000,000. But while con sidering Mr. Dickson’s calculation of 507,- 000,000, astounding, we are satisfied that the aggregate of the sum, as worked out by us, is much too small. We however, hold that the theory that the population of the United States will increase 18 fold in the next 90 years, because it did so increase for the past 90 years, is unreasonable and falla cious, from the fact that the increase for the first decade of the Government, from 1790 to 1800, was about one hundred per cent.; and to warrant the same conclusion for the future, we must anticipate a like increase for the first decade in the next 90 years, which would give the enormous number of inhabitants in 1880 of 78,000,000. Let us take the statistics of Georgia. Her population since the formation of the Government has been as follows: Whites. Total. 1790 52,886 82.548 1800.... 101,678 162,101 1810 145,414 252,433 1820 189,566 840,983 1830 296,806 * 516,823 1840 407,695 691,392 1850 521,572 906,185 1860 591,588 1,057,286 It will be seen from these figures that the per centage of increase the first ten years was 96%; for the next ten years about 66; the third decade, 35; the fourth, ; the fifth, about 84p-the sixth, 31; and the seventh decade, only about 16)£ per cent. Taking the last decade of ten years, from „ 1860 to 1860, as a fair basis to predicate the future on, and granting that the negroes will not increase as heretofore, we think it would be safe to say that, without a very large number of immigrants, the popula tion of our State will increase, in the next ninety years, at the rate of fifteen per cent, every decade, which would give the follow ing results: 1870 (supposed) * 1,200,000 1880. 1,380,000 1890 1,587,000 1900 1,824,000 1910 2,100,000 1920 2,415,000 1980 2,785,000. 1940 3,205,000 1960 3,700.000 This would be about three times the present number, and if the same per cent age is applicable to the whole country, would give au aggregate of inhabitants, in 1960, of about 120,000,000. But, from the large immigration flowing into the coun try, outside of Georgia, we should deem twenty-five per cent., every decade, a nearer estimate for the whole country, and that would give about 200,000,000 in 1960. Even this number is small, when the area of territory is considered, as compared with other countries. We entirely agree with Mr. Dickson’S views as to dense populations centralizing governments, and fully believe that virtue and religion are cherished to a greater de gree in moderately settled than in more popu lous countries ; and if all the States of the Union were moving pan passu In the matter, it would be wisdom for us to check rather than encourage immigration. Bat as the Government has become centralized by the immigration which flooded the sections that were hostile to us, and has been changed mainly by their aid from one of free con sent to one of force ; and as each State and section is striving for empire, we desire to see our State speedily increase in popula tion and grow in strength, that she may be a power in the councils of the Government. As to the evils such a course may inflict in the far-off future, we can only say that we have every faith that the men of the futuva, with the aid of will be able to meet them. (From the Baltimore Sun. The Late George Peabody. INCIDENTS OF HIS LIFE HIS ACTS OF BENEFICENCE AND PHILANTHROPY. The death of George Peabody, which was announced yesterday as having taken place on the evening of Thursday, November 4, at his residence in Eaton Square, London, calls for a more extended notice of his life and of his many acts of benevolence than ■we were then enabled to give. Every cir cumstance connected with the life of a man whose munificent deeds of judicious phi lanthropy have won for his name a prouder position on the roll of fame than generally falls to the lot of heroes aDd statesmen, will be read with interest by those who are the immediate recipients of his bounty, as well as by the world at large. Mr. Peabody sprung from good old Eng lish stock. Six generations back his an cestor was Francis Paybody, of the ancient famiiy of Paybodys, of Leicestershire, in England, who at an early age left St. Al bans, in Hertfordshire, and went to New England. For twenty-two years he ap pears to have resided in various parts of the country, but in 1057 he finally settled at Toptteld, a small town in Essex county, Mass., where he ever after resided. The residence that he erected and the mill (the first one in the town) that he built are standing at the present day, venerable in their two centuries of age. He was wealthy —that is, wealthy compared with his neigh bors—and being, in addition, a man of education and respectability, naturally at tained to prominence. His wife was Mary, daughter of Reginald Foster, by whom he had fourteen children, from the eldest son of which the late Mr. George Peabody was descended. Francis Paybody died in 1698, at the advanced age of eighty-four years. He left behind a large landed estate, which was divided principally among his six sons. The descendants of these have been distin guished for their mental and moral worth. During our revolutionary struggles they espoused the patriot cause, and their devo tion to the embryo Union was more than once severely tested. The birth of Mr. Peabody, at Danvers, Mass., on the 18th of February, 1795, the events of his early life, his removal to Georgetown, D. 0., and thence to Balti more, his subsequent career as one of the eminent bankers of London, and his mag nificent gifts for purposes of education and benevolence, were yesterday referred to. In the early part of Mr. Peabody’s resi dence at Georgetown, occasion arose to call forth qualities which, probably few would have expected to have found in Mr. George Peabody. The war so long threat ened now appeared inevitable, 'for the British fleet had ascended the Potomac, and were menacing the capital. This aroused the patriotism of the young mer chant. Though he had not reached the age at which military service could be ex acted, he joined a volunteer company of artillery, and soon found himself on duty at Fort Warburton, which commanded the river approach to Washington. The ex pected attack, however, was not made, and Mr. Peabody returned to the peaceful and to him more congenial avocations of com merce. For this service, together with a previous short service at Newburyport Mr. Peabody lately received one of the grants of one huudred acres of land, be stowed under certaiu conditions by act of Congress upon the defenders of the republic at this perilous time. DEEDS OF LIBERALITY. On more than one occasiou Mr. Pea body’s judgment, integrity and vast finan cial resources have been of eminent public service both to his native laud and to the land of his adoption. During the commer , cial crisis in 1835 he was made, under an act of the Maryland Assembly, one of three commissioners to negotiate a loan . for this State. The transaction was suc cessfully completed. In recognition of this and other services, the General Assembly of Maryland, in 1848, expressed in publle resolutions the obligations of the State to him. In 1851 he himself bore i the whole expense of arranging the American depart ment of the great exhibition in London. The following year, when Mr. Henry Grinnell, of New York city, generously offered his vessel, the Advance, for a sec ond expedition, under Dr. Kane, to the Arctic seas, in search of Sir John Frank lin, Mr. Feabpcjjr came forward, and by a gift of SIO,OOO, defrayed the expenses of the voyage. In the same year, when the citizens of his native town, Danvers, cele brated the hundredth year of their corpo rate existence, Mr. Peabody, though un able to be present at their festivities, gave a tangible proof of his interest in them by presenting a gift of $20,000 to found an in stitution and library for the people. To this anniversary gift he has since added large donations, amounting in all, along with the original sum, to upwards of $200,000. THE PEABODY INSTITUTE. Visiting his native country in 1857, after an absence of nearly ten years, Mr. Peabody fulflilled his intention, formed long before, of founding in the city of Baltimore an in stitute upon a much more extensive scale than the above. The scheme was to com . prise a large free library; the periodical de ivery of lectures by eminent literary and scientific men, an academy of music, and a gallery of art. For this purpose he donated first $300,000, and soon after $200,000 more. Oh his visit in 1866 he gave $500,000 additional, and on his last visit another donation of $400,000, making in all $1,400,000. The corner-stone was laid in 1858, and the institution is now in operation, with the exception of the gallery of art, which awaits the erection of the additional building, of the same dimen sions as the present one, on the adjoining lot. HONORS TO MR. PEABODY. During his sojourn in the United States in 1858, towns and public bodies vied with each other in seeking to honor their dis tinguished countryman. With his char acteristic modesty, Mr. Peabody declined all such proposals with a few exceptions —one from his native town of Danvers, Mass., and one from citizens of Baltimore, held at the Maryland Institute, and made an address in response to a speech of wel come. The next day he received the chil dren of the public schools, who passed him in review in front of the Peabody Institute. The demonstration of the children of the public schools was in grateful recognition of Mr. Peabody’s grant of $1,200 per year as prizes to the pupils of the male aud female high schools of the city, and the Maryland Institute School of Design. Mr. Peabody also, about the same time, re ceived the ladies of Baltimore at the new Assembly Rooms. In addition to all this, Congress, after his Southern donation, voted him a resolution of thanks and a gold medal as a mark of the Republic’s appreci ation of his services in the cause of educa tion; several of the State Legislatures passed complimentary resolutions, while from all parts of the country came eulo gistic expressions regarding him. No pub lic man was ever received with more sin cere pleasure than he, wherever he went; THE LONDON POOR. Towards the close of 1858 Mr. Peabody again returned to England. Some years subsequent to this date he set about giving effect to his long cherished intention of doing something for the benefit of the la boring poor of London. His principal do nations for this purpose have already at tained a world-wide celebrity, and whether we consider the magnitude of the gift, or the wisdom that has dictated the mode of its application, this will appear one of the grandest schemes of beneficence on record, either in ancient or modern times. The sums bestowed and the dates of, their announcement are: March 12, 1862, £150,- 000, January 29,1866, £IOO,OOO, and Decem ber 5,1868, £IOO,OOO, making a grand total of £350,000 given “to ameliorate the con dition and augment the comforts of the poor ” of Loudon. Well might the Qheeu of England designate it “ the noble act of more than princely munificence.” The same feelings that led Mr. Peabody to decline the public acknowledgment of the cities of his native land in 1857 pre vented him from accepting the honors which Englishmen were ready to shower upon him. The freedom of the city was bestowed upon him by the corporation of London, and acknowledgments from many other public bodies were freely offered.— The only occasion on which he appeared In public was at the close of the Working Classes’ Exhibition In Guild Hall, in 1866, when he received an enthusiastic welcome, which even royalty itself might envy. A short time before his sailing for Amer ica in 1866, a proposal was made to confer ou Mr. Peabody either a baronetcy or the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, but he declined them both. When asked what gift, if any, he would accept, he replied: “A letter from the Queen of Eugland, which I may carry across the Atlantic and de posit as a memorial of one of her most faithful sons.” To this modest request a ready response was given, aud the letter, accompanied by a portrait of her Majesty, is deposited in the Peabody Institute, at South Danvers, Mass. During his visit to America, Mr. Peabody may be said to have eclipsed his former seif in generosity, if that were possible. Even to those acquainted with the donations he had already made in the United States and England, the number and munificence of oeneractions during his last visit will ap pear almost incredible. To Phillips’Acade my, in Andover, he. gave $25,000; to the Newburyport library, $15,000 ; to building anew church in Georgetown, Massa chusetts, $100,000; to a library in the same town; $16,000; to the Essex Institute, Salem, $140,000; to the library atThetford, Vermont, $5,000; to the Massachusetts His torical Society, iu Boston, $20,000; to the Peabody Institute of Archaeology, at Cam bridge, $150,000; to found a geological branch at Yale College, $150,000; to the Peabody Institute, at Baltimore, the addi tional gift alluded to above of $500,000; to tim Maryland Historical Society, $20,000; to Kenyon College, Ohio, $25,000; to the Southern Educational Fund, $1,500,000, to which he afterwards added an additional million ; for a library in Georgetown,D. C., $15,000, making altogether over three and a half millions of dollars. Os his relatives in America he has not been unmindful, distributing among them $1,400,000. During the rebellion he had also given SIO,OOO to the sanitary fund. To the fortune which Mr. Peabody pos sessed at the ti me of his residence in Lon don, it is variously estimated that he added from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000. HIS RETURN TO ENGLAND AND LAST VISIT TO AMERICA. At the close of a year’s sojourn in Ame rica, Mr. Peabody took his departure for England, and early in 1868 made a brief tour of the Continent. While at Rome he was presented to the Pope, who gave him a most flattering reception. Before leaving he presented the charitable institutions of the city with a liberal donation, reported by some correspondents at $1,000,000. The precise sum, however, has never been ascer tained. Soon after he proposed to make another visit to America, and the Queen, upon learning that he would, probably not return to England, expressed a desire to see him. He was accordingly presented to her. On the 10th of June he arrived in New York, and within a month had pre sented the additional $1,000,000 to the Southern Educational Fund. During the Summer months he came to Baltimore and went to the White Sulphur Springs, Va., for the benefit of his health, which had be come feeble. At one time he was so low that fears were entertained of his life, but by careful nursing he recovered. Shortly before leav ing the Springs lie presented Washington College (Gen. Lee’s) with SOO,OOO, and on his return to Baltimore, on the 23d of Sep tember, donated $400,000 to the Peabody Institute. He made some other donations of smaller amounts, which we cannot at present recall. He seemed happy only when giving of his wealth for benevolent pur poses. During Mr. Peabody’s absence from En gland a statue ot him was unveiled In Lou don. The ceremony wns performed before a vast concourse of people, by the Prince of Wales, who made a speech highly laudato ry of Mr. Peabody. This statue was erect ed by the merchants of London as a mark of their respect and esteem for the distin guished American. FAREWELL TO BALTIMORE. On the 23d of September last, when Mr, Peabody made his final donation of $400,- 800, In addition to the million with ,which he had previously endowed the Peabody Institute of this city, he said, in a letter which he addressed t 6 the trustees at a meeting in Baltimore: “ Early on the mor row, gentlemen, I leave your great and prosperous city, and on taking leave of you, probably, from the state of my health, for the last time, you have my best wishes for your health and happiness, and for the continued and enduring prosperity and usefulness of the Peabody Institute of the city of Baltimore.” BACK TO ENGLAND TO DIE. On the 30th of September of the present year Mr. Peabody took his departure for London, to the regret of his fellow-citi zens, who had hoped that his last days would be spent in his native laud. It was not to be so. Boon after his arrival his illness returned, and, as stated in the firet bnes of this sketch, he died in London on Thursday evening, in the seventy-fifty vear of his age. J Mr. Peabody never married—a fact that occasioned many speculations. At one time it was rumored that he was about to marry Miss Burdett Coutts, but the rumor proved to be false. well built. His countenance had all the appearance of that benevolence for which he was distinguished, and in manner* he was most genial and inviting. The Cannibal’s Chant. BY N. S. GILBERT. ’Twas on the shores that round our coast From Deal to Ramgatu’s span, That I found alone, on a piece of stone, Au elderly naval mac. His hair was weedy, bis beard was long, And weedy and long was he; And I heard this wight, on the shore recite, In a singular minor key : “ Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold, Ahd the mate of the Nancy brig, And a bo’san tight, and a midsbipinite, And the crew of the captain’s gig.” “ Oh, orderly man, its little I know Os the duties of men of the sea, And I’ll eat my hand if I understand How you cau possibly be “ At once a cook and a captain bold, And the mate of the Nancy brig, And a bo’san tight, and a midshipmite, And the crew of the captain’s gig !” Then he gave a hitch to his trowser6, which Is a trick all seamen larn ; And, having got rid ol a thumping quid, He span this painful yarn: “ 'Twas in the good 6hip Nancy Bell That we sailed to the Indiau sea, And there on the reef we came to grief, Which has often occurred to me. “ And pretty nigh all o’ the crew wa6 drowned ! (There was 6eventy-sevcn soul). And only-ten ol' the Nancy's meu Baid ‘ Here ’ to the muster-roll. “ There was me and the cook and the cap tain bold, And the mate of the Nancy brig, And the bo’sun tight, and the midshipmite, And the crew of the captain’s gig. “For a mouth we’d neither wittlea nor drink, Till a-huDgry we did feel; So we drawed a lot, and accordin’ shot The captain for our meal. “The next lot fell to the captain’s mate, And a delicate dish be made; Then our appetite with the midshipmite, We seven survivors stayed. •* And then we murdered the bo’aun tight, And he much resembled pig; Then we wittled free, did the cook and me, On the crew of the captaiu’s gig. “ Then only the cook and me was left, And the delicate question, • which Os us two goes to the kettle?’ arose, And we argued it out as sich. “ For 1 loved that cook as a brother I did, And the cook he worshipped mo ; But we’d be blowed if we’d .either be stewed In the other chap’s hold, you see. “ * I’ll be eat if yon dines ofl me,’ says Tom, ‘ Yes, that,’ says I, ‘ you’l be.’ • I’m boiled if l die, my friend,’ says I; And ' exactly so,’ says he. “ Says he, ‘dear James,to finish mo Were a foolish thing to do, For don’t you see that you can’t cook me, While I can—and will—cook you!’ “ So, he boils the water and takes the salt And the pepper in portions tine, (Which he never forgot), and some chopped shallot, And some sage and parsley too. “ And he stirred it round, and round and round, And he sniffed at the foaming froth ; When I ups with his heels and smothers bis squeals In the scum of the boiling broth. “ And I eat that cook iu a week or less, And—as I eating be The la6t of his chops, why, I almost drops, For a weasel in sight I see. “Aud I never lark, and I never smile, And I never lark nor play ; Bnt I sit and croak and a single joke I have—which Is to say: “ Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold, And the mate of the Nancy brig. And a bo’sun tight, and a midshipmite, And the crew of the captain’s gig.” De6Perate Fight. —Yesterday after noon, a little before sunset, a most des perate fight occurred in the swamp below the city, between Capt. Simpson, of the city police, and ex-policeman M. M. Hall, who Is now superintending the cutting of wood on the City Reserve. The facts of the affair are thus reported to us: Oapt. Simpson had rode down to where Mr. Hall was cutting wood, and asked him wiiy he did not send him a load of wood he had" ordered. Hall replied in an angry manner, and told Capt. 8. he had failed to pay for a load already sent, to which Capt. S. gave the lie. Hall then told him to get off his horse and he would cut his throat for him, and used very profane and abusive language. Capt. 8. told him all right, h<? was goiupt ciown, and did so. Mean while Hall drew his knife aud sprung upon Capt. 8., inflicting two or three deep and ugly gashes upon the side of his neck. Capt. 8. fought back with a stick, and finally succeeded in knocking the knife out of Hall’s hands, and, knocking him down, gave him a terrible beating—such a one as he will not recover from iu a long while. Both parties were hurt badly, but neither fatally, it is thought.— Macon Telegraph, 7th. Fires in Barnwell— Last Saturday night, about 11 o’clock, a fire was discov ered in the carriage shop of Mr. W. H. Green, at Bamburg, which soon spread to the restaurant of G. W. Grimes, in the same building, which was owned by J. C. Dowling. The building was totally de stroyed, as was also the store L. G. Hav, on the opposite corner, and the carriage shop of W. L. Connelly near by. On Monday morning last, about 2 o’clock, the premises of Mr. Alfred Ayer (living near his father, Gen. L. M. Ayer,) were dis covered to be on fire, and before the fire could be arrested there were consumed one hundred and fifty bushels corn, four bales cotton, and some eighty or one hundred dollars worth of provisions. Mr. Aver spent Sunday night at his father’s, and it is supposed advantage was taken of his absence to rob his premises, and then set them onq* fire. —Barnwell Journal, 6 th. A Infant Burned to Death. —A little son of Mr. William Johnson, near Green wood depot, abont twenty months old, was burned to death a few days since. His mother left him in the house with his sister, but a year or two older than himself, to go to a neighbor’s, two hundred yards distant, and was absent abont fifteen minutes.— When she returned she found the little fel low sitting in the middle of the floor, his clothes burned off, and portions of his flesh on his body, and even his little tongue, burned almost to a crisp. He managed to articulate “ ma," as his mother entered the door, and expired. No one knows how the little fellow’s clothes took fire, as his sister is too young to explain. [Staunton Vindicator. On dit, that there Is a plan on foot to en deavor to induce the Central Georgia Rail road to unite with the Savannah and Charleston Railroad in a short line of six ty-six miles, from Millen, on the Central, to Union Crossing, on the Savannah Road, with the view of creating a diversion of the Southwestern passenger travel, now going North by upper lines, to this great seaboard route. The distances are as follows: From Macou, Georgia, via Millen, Union Cross ing, Charleston, Florence and Wilmington, to Weldon, Is 608 miles, while from Macon via Augusta, Columbia and Charlotte, to Weldon, is 758 miles—the new line having an advantage of 159 miles or eight hours In tijme. —Charleston Courier. A Melancholy Spectacle.— We learn that over one hundred citizens of Bote tourt, Roanoke and Washington counties left Virginia on Monday last for Mississippi, where they will in future reside. It is a sad, melancholy spectacle to see the Old Dominion thus despolled*of her best and truest sons, when they are so much needed to assist in the recuperation of their hon ored old mother State from the prostration and devastation caused by thelate war. , r Lynchburg News. Death of Robert Bowman.— lt gives us great pain to state that op Saturday morning last, our highly esteemed fellow citizen, Robert Bowman, fell: from his piazza and received such injury as to cause his death.

Gin House Burnt.— The gin house of Major B. W. Bellamy, of Jefferson county, Florida, was destroyed last Friday by fire. The building was probably one of the largest and best of the kind in the State, ana with the engine, two new gins and about twenty bales of cotton, foots up a loss of about SIO,OOO. No insurance.

State Items. Lands sold in Clinton, Jones county, on last Tuesday, at public sale, at; sl2 50 to sl9 per acre. Bill Arp has had his horse and buggy stolen. That is one of the very unfair amusements introduced at Rome during the past week. A reward of SSOO is offered for the recovery of the property At its last session the Grajft Lodge of Georgia appropriated six huqyed dollars for repairing the buildings and lot occupied by the Southern Masonic Female spoilage, in Covington. Yesterday (tfonday) Grant, Cos. commenced laying track on tha nah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, at Griffin. Grading by convicts', other work by free labor. The LaGrange Reporter reports a great deal of property sold on Tuesday last. It was the biggest sale day we have had in LaGrange since the war, and real estate sold at better prices than since Sherman’s grand march through Georgia.. Troup county Is certainly looking up. The big gest ODeratiOD, however, was a private sale. The well known plantation, former ly owned by Mr. M. Ferrell, deceased, con taining about 1,100 acres, aud located on or not far from the Chattahoochee river, in this county, was sold by Col. J. H. Fannin to Capt. E. A. Frost, for SII,OOO. Mr. J. A. Hardaway, of Butts county, has been appointed postmaster, rice 8. E. Peacock, removed. Justice Jas. Torry is announced as a can didate for Mayor of Columbus. The receipts pf the Rome Fair for the first three days amounted to $3,025. The Macou Messenger learus that a gap of only eighteen or twenty miles remains nnflaished on the Macou and Brunswick Road, and 1 that it is rapidly closing up, so that trains will run through by the 20th. A difficulty occurred on the LaGrange Road, says the Newnan Herald, of Friday, about one and a half miles from the court house, on Sunday morning last, between Mr. Starling Thomas, lately of Carroll county, and Fletcher Madarles, in which Thomas was killed. Thomas had thrown* heavy rock at Medaries, and was in the act of gathering up another rock, when the lat ter fired upon him with a pistol three times, one of the balls taking fatal effect. The Era reports that Bullock is expected to return to Atlanta by the middle of the present week. One hundred and twenty lots on tiie town common of Brunswick will be leased for ninety-nlue years on the 29th instant. Track laying ou the Brunswick and Al bany Railroad progresses iu keepiug with the age. Some twelve miles are now laid. The fire eugines at Rome had a contest at the Fair. It resulted in favor of the Raiubow, she throwing 245 feet, and the Mouutaiu"Clty 223. The Courier, of Saturday, reports several fights, robberies and drnnks in Rome, and that city getting to be as nice a city as At lanta. Among the robberies, Mr. C. W. Nowlin was robbed of his watch and chain on Wednesday night. A Mr. Neph was robbed of five hundred dollars in money and a thousand dollar check, Friday night, by a thief, who entered his room and ab stracted the same therefrom. The West Point Shield learns that on the night of the 3d inst. Mr. Joseph Rutledge’s gin house, with nine bales of cotton, was burned; also, on the same night, the gift' house of H. H. Greene, containing a con siderable amount or cotton. The burning was supposed to be work of incendiaries. Both gentlcmeu live near Long Cane, In that county. The Air Line Eagle says the engineer corps of the Air Line Railroad are within fifteen miles of Gainesville, on what is called the Sugar Hill route. The ground is very favorable, and the snrvey will reach Gainesville by the middle of the month, when the contracts will be let out aud the grading commenced. The Hancock Journal has so prospered that it is to be enlarged so as to present four columns additional. Th 6 Madison Farm Journal reports that in Morgan Superior Court, last week, in the case of the State vs. William Nunn, charced with highway robbery, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of robbery on the person of Amos Brown, Esq., by in timidation, and the culprit was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment in the peniten tiary. The Air Line Eagle reports the exhibi tion, by Col. Phil H. Simmons, of two of the largest beets seen for many years in Gainesville—one weighing 8% pounds aud the other 7 % pounds. Falling ok a Warehouse Floor— Thirteen Colored Men Buried in Gc- , AXO.— Mr. Alfred PolllrtalcUr, commiflsloD merchant and general agent for the Galle go Fertilizer Company, of Virginia, has been engaged for some time in storing Pe ruvian guano and other fertilizers on the second floor of the warehouse of Mr. Hill Gowdy, at the foot of Jefferson street. The gnano is in bags, aud we believe other fer tilizers in barrels. The barrels were stored on one side of the room, and the bags of guano on the other: They were piled on each side of the room nearly to the ceiling, ! leaving a passage in the middle, which was being filled with bags of guano. At about i 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, some twelve or thirteen colored men were engaged in this work, when the floor gave way, and the entire mass of guano, the barrels of fertilizers and the men were precipitated to the bottom of the story below, a dis tance of some twenty-two feet. The men were covered with the bags and barrels, and Mr. Poindexter, who hind left the room but a moment before the catastrophe, set to work at once to disinter the men, and, al though several hundred negroes were on the ground in a few minutes, not one of them could be prevailed upon to enter the building to assist In saving the lives at’ their colored brethren. A number of white men volunteered their services, and in a very short time the colored men were rescued from their perilous situation. One man named Simon Scott had his leg broken, his ribs crushed in, and received internal injuries from which he is not ex pected to recover.

Mobile, November B. —Track laying on the Mobile aud New Orleans Railroad com menced here to-day. Many citizens wit nessed the ceremony. The first spike was driven by Colonel Maun, proprietor of the Register, who made a pertinent speech, in the course of which he said he regarded it as not merely an inauguration of one hun dred and thirty-eight miles, from Mobile to New Orleans, but of the great Southern Pacific route which this company, headed by such meu as Ames, Sprague and Gard ner, Rainor & Cos., intend building, the survey's for which are now being pushed away west of Mississippi, of which. Mobile* with the finest harbor ou the Gulf, was the natural terminus. Branching here by the two national routes to the East and North —the Coast line and Chattanooga route— he said shipping merchants all know that Mobile is now the cheapest port on the Gulf for exporting cotton, and (his road would bring immense quantities of cotton from New Orleans here for export. That Mobile was the healthiest of Southern cities, and on accouut of immense deposits of cowal aud iron easily accessible to her, and the pine timber adjacent, she had a great future as a manufacturing city. No city we6t to the Pacific coast affords such advantages. Col. Smith, an importer, followed,stating that Mbbile was the cheapest port in the United States for importing coffee, as he bad demonstrated It by heavy importations the last year. George N. Stewart spoke of the desire here to encourage Northern capital and jtenterprlse to come among us. He said the toad was being built by Northern capital ists, who were welcome, as all would be who would come to aid in the development of our great national resources. The grading of the road is well advanced, the iron nearly all here, and an early com pletion of rail connection with New Or leans is promised. VIRGINIA.

Fortieth Annivehsart Election.— The fortieth annual meeting of the “ Geor gia” Independent .Fire Company was held last night, when the following officers were elected for the ensuing term : Captain—George Adam. First Lieutenant—Geo. W. McLaughlin. Second Lieutenant—Chas. E. Dodd. Pipctnan—F. B. McCoy. Assistant Pipemavi—J. J. Doughty. Engineer—John F. Keen. Secretary—Geo. W. Broadhurst. Treasurer—Jacob Danforth. lu conformity with a time-honored cus tom, after the current business had been dispatched, the officers and members, with a few invited guests, celebrated the occa sion of the fortieth anniversary of the or ganization of the “ Georgians,” around the festive board, spread with abundant in spiriting and bivalvular refreshments. Al though uot prepared by a professional French cook, the oysters were got up in the best style of the art cuisine, as so well understood by our genial friend, Col. J. W. M., who gives piquancy to whatever pass es his way. The master of ceremonies was the gallant Second Lieutenant of the lt Georgians,” who, if not from Paris himself, certainly had a hat that was, and that a very great distance from the centre and style of modern fashion. It may have been, that as our friend happens to beconsiderably in the “ tile” business, he had selected the oc casion to exhibit a sample *f his latest “ agony.” But neither that hat, nor any other which fell under our view, exhibited evidence of having a “ brick ” within, and the party separated at an early hour in the evening, with pleasant remembrance of their happy social celebration of the for tieth birthnight of an organization which holds such deserved high rank among the firemen of Augusta. A Colored Boy Horribly Mutilated by a Railroad Train.— On Sunday morn ing, about half-past six o’clock, a small colored boy, who serves his mother, a stewardess on one of the passenger trains of the South Carolina Railroad, sustained the loss o' an arm, in the following man ner: At the corner of Washington and Reynolds streets he attempted to board the 6:30 passenger train, when he was struck, in passing, by the guide-post at the corner of the pavement, which broke his hold on the railing, causing him to fall with his left arm across the railroad track. The cars passed over his limb, crushing it in a horrible manner. The sufferer was re moved to the residence of Dr. H. P. Camp bell, who found it necessary to amputate his arm at the shoulder. The operation was performed, and the unfortunate youth is being kindly cared for on the premises of Dr. Campbell, not being in a condition to be removed. This circumstance furnishes & sad warn ing to boys, many of whom we frequently observe boarding the several trains as they pass through the city. The unfortunate bey, although in dally service on the train, and quite a bright and active youth, could not escape the painful result of the unex pected accident, by which, even if his life should be saved, he will be maimed for life. What can those less familiar with the danger incidental to boarding a mov ing train expect? Fair and Liberal.— The Georgia Rail road has, with its usual liberality, deter mined to do the fair thing all round, by taking, along its line, all articles Intended for exhibition at the State Fair in Macon to Milledgevilie for one fare—that is, full freight going and return free. The road only carries articles as far, fts Milledgevilie, because this point is, at present, the ter minus of the Macon and Augusta Railroad. From Milledgevilie to Macon the Central Road must be used. South Carolina State Fair. —Those who desire to attend the State Fair Os South Carolina, commencing at Columbia on the 10th, (to-morrow), will be passed and returned over the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad for one fare. The Sleepy Hollow Tragedy—Trial op A. P, Woodward^—The Barnwell (S. S.) Journal, of Saturday, say#: “Wednes day morning the court met, pursuant to adjournment, when the case of the State v». A. P. Woodward, charged with the killing of John 8. Green and J. G. Holland, known as the Sleepy Hollow tragedy, which took place on the occasion of the township elec tion in July last, was called, and the trial commenced, the State being assisted by Mr. Leroy F. Youmans, our former solici tor, whose ability is well known on this circuit. The defense is being very ably conducted by Messrs. A. P, James T. and Robert Aldrich. Only some seven or eight witnesses, on the part of the prosecution, have been examined up to the time of onr going to press, and it is supposed that the time of the court will be occupied the rest of this week with this case, the issue dock et again not being reached.” From the special correspondent of the Charleston Courier we learn that Mr. Woodward, after numerous challenges, ac cepted the following named jurors : W. D. McMillan, Foreman (white), J. F. Falken stein (white), L. W. Lancaster (white), T. Vogle (white), J. G. Zeigler (white), J. F. Sanders (white), L. Robinson (colored), A. Bush (colored), J. Thompson (colored), T. L. Myers (colored), W. Allen (colored), R. Brown (colored). The testimony in the case is very vo luminous, there being between twenty and thirty witnesses on each side. A Fine Crop of Turnips. —We saw, yesterday, a sample of the turnip crop of Judge A. P. Robertson, grown on his plantation near this city. The Judge has three acres of this valuable root crop, from which samples have been taken welghlug seven pounds and a half, whilst lt Is by no means uncommon to meet with turnips of three, four and five pounds each. The sys tem of culture adopted was, we learn, to plant in drills, with a liberal application of stable manure. The seasons have been exceedingly unpropltlous for the develop ment of the turnip crop in this section, only about one good seasonable rain hav, ing fallen since planting time. We under stand that Judge Robertson intends to send specimens of his crop to the Agricultural Fair at Macon. A Highly Interesting Entertain ment. —Mr. Walter Bonn, who has been on the boards here before, to the great enter tainment of those of our citizens who patronize theatrical exhibitions, announces that, in connection With Mr. J. V. Bowes, he will afford a highly interesting enter tainment at Masonic Hall, on Wednesday night, consisting of a rendition of Dickens’ “ Dr. Marrigold,” selections from “ Nicholas Nickieby,” and the grand oration of Robert Emmet. The features of this exhibition commend it to the liberal patronage of a large, refined and cultivated circle of our citizens. Personal.—W. W. Durand, Business Manager of John Robiusou’s great com bination Circus and Menagerie, arrived in the city last night, to prepare the way f6r this great exhibition, which will be iu Au gusta in about three weeks. This circus and menagerie enjoys the reputation of being the most complete in its attractions aud mammoth in its proportions of any of this class of entertainments now on wheels In the South. Sale of Valuable Lands in South western Georgia.— Attention is directed to the valuable plantations advertised to be sold by W. W. Montgomery, receiver, in the city of Albany, on the first Tuesday iu December. These plantations comprise some of the best cotton lands in the South, aud deserve the attention of nil who desire to make investments in that direction.
