Spring Hill Factory.—This Factory,
situated on the Louisville Plank Hoad,
seven miles from Augu«ta, is prepared to
card wool on very liberal terms. See ad
'ertisement. All orders left at the Fac
tory or at the groe y store of Messrs.
Perry A Law, 27" inroad street, will be
promptly attended to.
A court A Hotel.—By refercccc to oar
advertising columns it will be seen that this
old and well kn own Hotel has changed
hands, Messrs. Murphy & May having
purchased the entire interest of Mr. S. M.
•Jones. The new proprietors propose to
krep afirst-eiuss house, and wid use every
effort to make their quests comfortable,
and their stay •, 're able. The attention
of the old patrons of the Hotel is particu
larly called tot lie change of proprietorship.
We wish the new proprietors a largo meas
ure of success and commend them to the
travelling public.
the Negro Postmaster.—The Macon
papers of Thusrday give us but little in
formatioo with regard to the Turner case,
beyond merely mentioning the arrest of
the latter by the United States authorities
on achargeof counterfeiting the -:gmiturcs
to genuine bank ndfe- of the First Nation
al Hank of New Jcr- y,’which were stoDn
Irom the United States Treasury Depart
ment after they had been made ready to
be turned over to the bank officers. The
signatures an; very badly executed, and
are manifestly the work of Turner— and
others. The examination was adjourned
until Friday morning at the request of Col.
.(no. Milledge, the United States Attor
ney, who wishes to be present at- the in
vestigation. The special dispatch sent
from Macon to the Chronicle & Senti
nel gives a much fuller and better account
of the affair than e- to be found in any
other paper in the State.

The Caterpillar in Florida.—The
Savannah Nkv» has been permitted to
make the following extracts from letters
received by a prominent factor in that city,
from reliable parties in Florida, in rela
tion to the appearance of the caterpillar in
that State : .
Ganemvili.f, Fla., July 9, 1869.
“The caterpillar lias made its appear
ance beyond a doubt. There is scarcely a
cotton weed on our place that has not one
or more leaves eaten. We are no alarmists,
and looked upon the cry raised some weeks
ago as unheeded, but we can deceive ’ our
selves no longer, the fly can be seen in the
evening in countless numbers.
Ei.lisviLle, Fla., July 6, 1869.
“Tin: pest of Florida has commenced its
work of destruction in Alachua county,
and I have heard of some in Columbia,
but have uot seen any on my farm. The
cotton crop is growing very fast, and if it
were not for the worm a fair crop could lie
raised ; but Alachua is one of our largest
planting counties, and as they are already
there, the crop will necessarily be a short
one.”
The Blue Ridge Railroad Con
tract. —The Columbia Fhmnix is inform
ed i hat the contract entered into between
Mestrs. Croswell & Cos., and the Blue
Ridge Railroad Company, is most favor
able to that company. The work will be
commenced early in August, and pushed
forward so that tiio entire work to Mary
ville, Tcnuessee, will be completed within
two year: from the Ist of August, 1869.
The contract has been taken at a very
small percentage above engineer’s esti
mates.
Si kz Canal. —In tin; month of October
next tin Suez Canal will, throughout its
entire length, have attained the required
depth of twenty-six English feet, with a
width varying I'roui one huudred metres
{■'•‘Si English feet) aloDg the greater por
tion of the canal, to sixty metres (1%
English feet) at three other points along
the line, as specified in the plans. The
ollioial inauguration has now boon fixed to
take place ou the 17th of November next.
Tub Madison Sprinus.—lt is rumor
ed that this charming Summer resort is
shortly to be put upon the market. In
days gone by—days ot Daniel Morrison
and other popular hosts—these Springs
were as popular (if not the most popular)
as any watering place in tho, Stato. The
air of tho locals is healthful and bracing.
The section of the State was celebrated for
the products of the farm, furnishing an
abundance of all that was desirable for the
table, and particularly famous for mutton.
The water of the Spring is chalybeate—
just what is needed by denizens of the low
> .untry. The hotel, cottages, &0., as
originally put up, cost some thirty or thirty
live thousand dollars, and are admirably
adapted to Southern want.
Now, that we are sure of having Rail
road facilities in this section of the State,
perhaps by three approaching routes —tho
Augusta k Hartwell, tho Georgia and the
Air Line roads—some of our enterprising
caterers should look after this property,
which a citizen of an adjoining 'county in
lonus us can he bought for a third or less
of it - original cost, We should like to see
this old and popular watering place re
vived, for old memories, and the “round
from • immenceuient at Athens, to Madi
son Springs, Tucooa Falls, Tallulah Falls,
Cl ark' sville and Gainesville, re-established.
\\, ' ave no doubt that, in skillful hands,
thesi Springs will again become profitable
to an energetic proprietor. Our Athenian
! i,:nds should see to it, as being to their
dvantaee, being on tin lute, to reopen the
• id channel of bright and happy days.
Nigger Postmaster. — The Columbus
Sun says that since the appointment of
Turner the niggers of the country have do
voloped quite a fondness for the posia
service, one ior which they are less quali
fied than any other. \\ e are informed,up
on reliable authority, that one Aaron
Jones, jr., a negro of most outrageous
qharaeter and antecedents, has been ap
pointed postmaster at Box Springs, Ga.,
on the Muscogee Railroad, at the reccom
mendationof Postmaster Hogan, of this
place. Box Springs is a post station in a
section ot country inhabited by a very in
telligent and patriotic population.
Contracts for Chinese Laborers.—
A San Francisco paper of the 27th ult.,

The Cuban Insurrection.—A quan
tity of correspondence from the rebel
army to parties to New York, designed to
be sent by steamer Moro Castle, has been
intercepted at Batabano, and the persons
in whose possession it was found have teen
arrested.
Captain General de Ri-Ds issued
general order to the commanders of the
different jurisdictions of the island. The
Captain General enjoins upon them to re-
Hpect the lived ol unarmed to
arrest oo ooe ->n vague suspicions; instructs
them to rigidly respect all legal rights of
foreigner-, says that the Government will
hold the officers of the army responsible
for the good discipline of the troops, and
instructs them to forward to him dispatch
es relative tomattersia their departments,
containing only facts as they transpire.
The Cuban partisans have the following
ad vices from Nut-vitas and Puerto Principe
to the UTth ult., and Irom Puerto del Pa
dre and Las Tuna- to tiie 26th. They say
there has been no movement of a decided
character in either district. The ' Span
iards have been reinforced at Nucvitas,
and are thus enabled to retain possession
of'the rail ood from that city to Puerto
Principe, nod give suicorto the garrison
of the latter named city, which is threat
ened by the Cubans under Quesada. In
the district of Puerto del Padre there have
been several skirmishes. The health of
the Cuban army is reported good and the
soldiers well organized. There is great
anxiety to learn the views of the United
States Government and the position it will
occupy in the contest.
Tiie Northeastern Railroad.—The
Athens Watchman says that the survey of
the extension of the Georgia Railroad from
that piace to Clayton was commenced yes
terday morning. Thom; who have ex
pressed doubts on this subject '“-ill now be
satisfied, perhaps, at least so far as the
survey is concerned.
We understand that in locating the road
the great effort will be, to find the shortest
and most practicable route, regardless of
local interests.
Belgian Immigration.—' The Rome
(courier says that ir is informed Captain E,
G. Barney, agent of the Selma, Rome &
Dalton Railroad, has sold, conditionally,
20,000 acres of land, belonging to the rail
road and lying in Calhoun county, Ala., to
a company consisting of 100 families of
Belgians. This bargain was made a few
days since, and the agent of these immi
grants will leave for Belgium in a short
time in order to have the trade confirmed,
and accompany the colony to their new'
homes. This is a move in the right direc
tion. Wo would like to see all the unoccu
pied lands of our section settled by thrifty
farmers, industrious and frugal, like the
Belgians.
Cotton and Indian Taxation —An
influential deputation waited on the Duke
of Argyle, Secretary for India, lately to
urge the total abolition of duties in British
India, which they thought might in some
measure mitigate the distress now prevail
ing in the cotton manufacturing district?
in England. They gave the high price of
cotton as the sole cause of the present dis
tress. Tim Duke was not prepared, in the
present state of the India finances, to ac
cede to so important a change. The aver
age rate of duties is only five per cent.;
but that low rate yields over two and a
half millions sterling. He told them that
the Government had done all they posuibly
could, by providing the planters with the
best cotton seed, and granting other facili
ties for raising large cotton crops in India,
to favor this industry. He hoped, he said,
that as soon as the inland communications
of India were more perfect, the sui.jpiy of
cotton from that country would be ample.
Let our planters and cotton merchants
make a note of t ■ is.
Large Orchard.—Between Wilming
ton and Weldon, N. 0., is a peach orchard
of 250,000 trees, occupying 2,500 acres ol’
laud. An idea of its magnitude may per
haps be better shown by the statement
that it the acres wore in a row they would
extend to the distance of one hundred
miles, and if the trees themsolves were in
a row they would extend to the* distance
of one thousand miles. In the season for
gathering, at only one basket per tree per
day, there must be on the ground every
day a supply of 250,000 baskets.
Cotton Statistics. —Easton & Cos., of
New York, in their circular of July 9tb,
give the total receipts at all the U. S.
ports at 2,030,050 front September 1,1868,
to July 9th, against 2,083,683 same time
last year. Os these receipts exporters
have taken 1,422,136 bales; spinners 004,-
796. Deficit in reeeipfs as compaired
with last year 53,633 bales; deficit in .ship
ment for Liverpool 249,892. The stock in
the U. 8. is now down to 46,000 aud there
are only 4,000 bales in the interior towns.
This stock of 46,000 bales, and perhaps
20,000 bales more to ha received at the j
ports, must suffice for our spinners for ex
port and lor stock until the new crop. The j
future course of the market depends very 1
much on the stocks uow held by spinners.
If they are forced tocomcinto the market ,
prices would further advance to a point
that would render a stoppage of the mills,
in August, necessary, La.-t year, at this
tin e, tho stock in the country was 99,096
hales, and there were 10,385 hales more
received up to Ist September. As 8,442
hales were exported, and the stock carried
over was 43,594 halos, spinners must have
taken from 10th of July to Ist September,
57,445 bales. If they had bought more
freely this season, and thus kept more cot
ton in the country, We would not now see
prices maintained here on a parity with
14d., while in Liverpool Middling is only
worth 12j(;£l2id.
The deficit in visible supply is 300,000.
The Northeastern Railroad. —The
Athens Banner learns from officers of the
Georgia Railroad that this important con
nection will be pushed forward in time to
meet the completion of the Blue Ridge
Road at Ulayton. The survey of the Road
has commenced, the first stake having been
driven yesterday noon by Intendant Rich,
a short distance below the present Athens
depot. The surveying party consists of
Messrs. Grant, Peters and Thomas with
their assistants.
The Trades Unions and the Chi
nese.—A joint meeting of all the trades
unions of this country is soon to be called
to take into consideration what measures,
if any, should be taken by them in view of
the groat influx of Chinese emigrants to
this country. The officers ot the National
Workingmen’s Union have lately address
ed letters to various trades unions through
out the oountry, calling their attention to
the matter* and asking advice. Repre
sentatives of the trades union of California
are now in New York and other Eastern
cities, agitating their brethren against
John diiuamatt.
A Bankrupt Governor.— The Atlanta
Constitution says that several weeks ago.
a note drawn by T. G. Campbell, Sr., for
$250, and endorsed by Rufus B. Bullock,
was hawked about the streets, and could
not be disposed of at th e cents on the dol
lar, until it was endorsed by a responsible
party. The note was given to pay Camp
bell for services in asiiinct-on, in trying
to get Georgia out of the Inion.
Southern Immigration. —The Au
gusta correspondent of the New York
World, alter discussing the aspect ot the
immigration movement to this section,
adds: “The native ine*-- - , _
1 ...aseot the South
now demands a word. The land is over
run with babies. Down the Mississippi,

TheNegroPostmaster.— By r- b ronco
to the telegraphic column of th'c Chroni
cle & Sentinel, it wul be seen that there
is little doubt entertained of the guilt of
Turner, the negro Postmaster at Macon
The charge of passing counterfeit money
appears to be fastened upon him by the
strongest and most conclusive testimony,
and the evidence, too, so far adduced sub
stantiates the account of the affair publish
ed in the Chronicle & Sentinel nearly
two weeks ago, an account of which has
beeD so eagerly denied by nearly every
paper in the State, and denounced as a
“sensational story,” manufactured from
whole cloth. We believe that when all
the evidence against Turner is made pub
lic that it will correspond in every particu
lar with the details of our previous publi
cation on the subject; and, we further
more believe, but for that publication
Turner would to-day be a free man, per
forming the duties of Postmaster at Ma
con. Our exposure of the affair caused
the energetic Treasury Agent. Neil, to be
placed on the right track, and proved to
other parties that they could not screen a
criminal from the penalties of his crime
with impunity. We feel no hesitation in
saying that in this transaction the Chron
icle & Sentinel has played the part of a
detective, and hasded to the exposure of a
great crime and the arrest of a great crim
inal. Narrow-minded, enterprise-lacking
news (?) papers in the State, jealous of
the superior enterprise displayed by this
journal, on all occasions, in the collection
of news, have sneereil at the “Turner
Story,” pronounced it “sensational,” - and
earnestly endeavored to disprove it and
give Turner, the martyr, a fine coat of
white-wash. Now the Chronicle &
Sentinel’s statement is found corroborat
ed by the best testimony, and she “vic
tim,” detected by means of thafstatemenc,
has been arrested and is being examined
on the charge which that journal preferred
against him two weeks ago.
Suicide by a CoNvicr, — I The Federal
Union says : Luke Arnold, convicted of
murder in Wilkes county and sentenced to
the Penitentiary for life, huug himself in
his sell on Thursday night last. He was
received at the Penitentiary the evening
previous and worked, with the other con
victs, on the railroad Thursday. He was
a negro of very bad character, having com
mitted one of the most fiendish murders
that ever blackened the criminal records of
this State.
Cuba.—The Savannah Republican says
the worst sign we see for the patriots is
the fact that General Jordan has been
placed at the head of their movement. If
he ever possessed a talent for illustrious
exploits in the field, or the accomplish
ment ofgreat ends with small moans, cir
cumstances have failed to develop it. He
fights powerfully with the pea, especially
when his antagonist is in prison and load
ed with chains. We havo never seen great
thingsscome from.such men and do not ex
pect them in this case.
The Aik-Line Railroad.—A meeting
of the citizens of Hart couuty was hold a
few days since to consider the propriety of
subscribing to the stock of the Air Line
.Road. The following resolutions were
passed:
Resolved Ist. That Hart county sub
scribe, through the proper channel, the
- urn of $75,000 stock in the Air-Line Rail
road, on conditio:: that said Road is located
within i iii .. mile of the Public Square of
the Town of Hartwell.
Resolved 2d. That the Ordinary of said
county be requested to give notice and or
der an election at an early a day as practi
cable, for all the legal voters of said coun-.
ty to ratify or reject said proposed sub
scription by writing the same on their
tickets at said election, to be held on the
2d day of August next.
Resolved. 3d. That we recommend that
should the county ratify said proposed sub
scription, the Ordinary of said county be
authorized to issue county bonds sufficient,
to raise money to meet the installments on
said subscription as may be called for by the
said railroad'company ; and that said Or
dinary be authorized to issue bonds in ad
dition to the subscription, sufficient to pay
the interest on said subscription bonds as
it may fall duo for three years from the Ist
day ot January, 1870.
Harvest Prospects in England.—
Mr. J. J. Mecbi writes to she London
Times, under date of June 28 :
“Last year there was a ruinous deficiency
of meat-making products. The twenty
two and a half million of acres of perma
nent pasture (one-half the agricultural
aA a of the United Kingdom) yielded a
deficient crop, and caused a heavy nation
al loss, while nearly ten million acres of
root arid green crops and artifical grasses
fell sadly short of an average crop. Hence
our small supply and high price of home
grown meat, &c. The large area of cot
tage and general garden was also very de
ficient in yield. This year all this is re
versed, and we are blessed with the prom
ise of abundant grass and other vegetable
products, which must have a happy influ
ence on the quantity and price of home
grown meat, milk, butter, cheese and vege
tables. Supposing that we lose a trifle on
our wheat area —between three and four
million acres-*great will be our gain on the
forty million acres of other products.
“Harvest in Essex will probably com
mence about the lstof Augustin the early
districts, and become general toward the
10t.h. Heavy and deep soils have the. best
of it this year, which is always a happy
event lor the country at large.”
Gen. Clanton on Carpet-Baggers.--
Gen Clanton, the Bayard of Alabama, in
the course ofa recent speech, said of the
carpet-baggers who have overrun his
State:
“But it was useless to reckon on degrees
among the carpet-baggers; there was not
one of them who eyer shed a drop of his
blood in the war —those who pretended
to military rank were contractors and
shoddyists; he had never met one that was
honest, he had never met one that would
tell the truth, ho had never met one that
would -taud up to what he had said #bout
you.”
Warehouse and Commission Mer
chants. —The attention of planters and
farmers is invited to the card of Messrs.
Isaac T. Heard & Cos., which will be found
in another column. These gentlemen give
their strict personal attention to all busi
ness entrusted to them. The firm is well
and favorably known, being thorougly re
liable and prompt in all its transactions.
Messrs. Isaac T. Heard & Cos. are the
agents in this city for Gullett’s Patent Im
proved Steel Brush Cotton Gins, which
have a very high reputation. The Gin
can be seen at their office, together with a
specimen of Hall’s Cotton Gin Feeder, for
which Messrs. 11. & Cos. are also agents.
Jasper the Banner County.—The
Madison Banner is informed that M. E.
J. Walton, of Shady Dale, Jasper county,
grew wheat this year at the most extraor
dinary rate of 115 bushels from one acre.
Messrs. Hean and Bullard threshed out
and measured the wheat aud vouch for the
truth of this statement. We therefore
pronounce J sper the “Banner County.”
A Flank Movuont.—The Atlanta
Constitution saya that it was rumored in
that city on yesterday, that Foster Blod
gett will reach Atlanta early on next week
to take the position of Master of Transpor
tation on the Stats Road now so worthiiy
filled by Major E. B. Walker. Bullock’s
reason for changing the position formerly
assigned (Treasurer of the State Road) is
that he feared the “L. P.” would not tote
fair, aud that he wouldn’t get his share of
the twenty-five thousand dollars per
month, which the Road is now earning.
Extension of the Albany and Gulf
Railroad. —The Albany Ketcs is pleaseds
to learn that the President and Board of
Directors of the Albany & Gulf Railroad
have resolved upon the immediate exten
sion of their road to Columbia, Ala., the
starting point of the Southeastern Ala- j
fan.a Railroad. The latter road cannot be
begun at this end of its line with the co
operation and assistance the former roa<l
could afford ; aud the It’-'-'
_■ • - _—corsef the Gulf
see the importance to them
of the construction ol the Alabama Road
from. Columbia westward.
The Ne vspafer.— The reading of a
good and well conducted newspaper, even
for the s ace of a quarter of a year, brings
more sound instruction and leaves a better
impression than would be acquired fwob
abh- at the best school in twelve months.
Taik to the members of a family who read
the papers, and compare their information
with those who do not. The difference is
beyond comparison.
I Cotton Warehouse.—Colonel M. P.
S'ovall announces that he will continue to
give his personal attention to the sale and
storage of cotton and other produce. The
attention of our planting friends is direct
ed to his card in another column.
Chinese to be Employed on tiie Blue
Ridge Railroad.—Some time since it
was determined by the Executive Commit
tee of this great Railway enterprise, to
push forward the work as rapidly as possi
ble, in order that it might be completed to
its terminus, Knoxville, and put South
Carolina in close connection with Cincin
nati and the Great West by means of the
Southern Railway from the latter city to
Chattanooga. Contracts for finishing the
Road were advertised for, and a few days
since the bids were opened at Columbia
and the award made to Messrs. Cresswell,
Patterson & Seilers, a large firm of Penn
sylvania contractors. The work on the
road, it is said, will be commenced by the
first of next month, and will be completed
from Walhail*. South Carolina, to Mary
ville, Tennessee, the present termini of the
route, by August, 1871 —two years from
the time operations begin.
On yesterday we heard it rumored that
the contractors had determined to employ
Chinese instead of negro labor on the road,
and that a large force of these people will
be procured from the West and brought
out at once to South Carolina. If this re
port prove to be true —and we sincerely hope
that it may—the completion of this most
important cf Railroad enterprises by'tho
contractors within the time specified in
their contract may be looked upon as an
assured finality. If it is not true, why so
much the worse for the contractors, and
the large number of people in the West
and South who are so deeply interested in
the early opening of the Blue Ridge Rail
road..
It is now in the Southern States begin
ning to be a generally recognized fact, by
practical and experienced Railroad Engi
neers and contractors, that the negro is
rapidly “playing out”—to use a phrase of
the day—as an efficient railway laborer-
Nor has this Conclusion been arrived at by
means of hasty aud imperfect reasoning.
Since the termination of hostilities and the
emancipation qf our large slave population,
the Railroad men of the South—and, for
that matter of the North, also, for many
of our large contractors havo come from
the Northern States—have given negro
labor a fair and full trial, and have-'at last'
become convinced that, in no manner, will
it do to be relied upon. That there is one
exception to this general proposition, we
admit, but do not think that it will mate
rially alter the case, for, like all other ex
ceptions, it only proves the truth of the
rule. It has been found that where Rail
way contractors have been able to obtain
and control the convict labor of a State, or
any considerable portion’of it, that the
system has worked tolerably well. For
instance, in our own State, Georgia,
Messrs. Grant, Alexander & Cos., a firm
of Railway contractors composed of North
ern and Southern men, have worked
negro labor on the Macon & Brunswick
Railroad, and are now employing it on the
Macon & Augusta Railroad successfully
and profitably. They have managed to
make arrangements by which they receive
all the chain-gang convicts of eight or ten
counties in the State, in which num
ber are included Richmond and Fulton,
and have al io secured the services of every
convict sentenced to the State Penitentiary.
The labor 01. these convicts cost the con
tractors nothing but the clothing, feeding
and guarding of the laborers, while they
are enabled to discipline them in such a
manner as to get a very fair amount of
work out of them. The same labor has
been used with the same results on the.
Selma, Rome & Dalton Railway. But
when contractors have attempted to do
anything with free negro labor, they have
made a disastrous failure. In the first,
place, it is almost impossible to procure it
at any price, every negto nearly being em
ployed in the cotton-fields, his proper
sphere, and where it is procured it works
badly, and is insubordinate.
Under these circumstances the Chinese
are clearly the class of Railway laborers
that are needed in the .South. The recent
completion of the Union Pacific and Cen
tral Pacific Railroads has turned loose an
inmense number of these people, who, by
their rapid, skillful and thorough work on
these roads, have proved themselves to be
the best laborers for that kind of work in
the world. Besides this force, every day
brings into the .West, from across the Pa
cific, thousands of intelligent, docile and
skilled workmen from the Flowery King
dom, which, unable to find employment
for its 410,009,000 of inhabitants, is send
ing them to seek a living on the American
continent. Any desired quantity of these
people can easily be brought South and
placed at work on the Railroads, and we
trust that the rumor of their employment
on the Blue Ridge Railroad may prove cor
rect.
Augusta District Meeting.— Parties
wishing to attend the Augusta District
Meeting at Mjlledgeville, Ga., 'on the 23d

A Confederate Soldier not Enti
tled to Damages. —Two cages were tried
at Alamance Superior Court last tVeek,
where three persons sued the North Caro
lina Railroad Company for damages sus
tained by an explosion of powder stowed
in the car in which they were riding, about
the close of the war. Ireland and Duke
obtained damages—the former for $2,000
and the latter for SIO,OOO. But the point
to which wc direct attention is the decision
of Judge Tourgee in. the case of S. S.
Turner, who also sued for damages. The
Judge decided that inasmuch as Turner
was a Confederate soldier and' on his way
to report for duty at General Johnston
headquarters, thus violating the law 1 , he
was. nbt entitled to recover damages from
a common carrier. From this decision the
counsel for Turner appealed to the Su
prime Court. If North Carolina is not
reconstructed wc would-like toknowa State

A Telegraph ro China.—The project
of laying a telegraph wire to China by way
of Siberia and Russaa makes progress. The j
scheme i> feasible, because a line already I
crosses the greater part of the Russian
empire, and it remains only to connect the (
extreme east ol Siberia with China by sea.
It is said that the Russian Government has ;
granted to certain parties in London the ;
concession of the right of laying a sub
marine cable, with a mo nr ' r "'"
years, from '--*?** tor-forty
rnoutn o, the river Amour,
in eastern Siberia. The cable is to run te
Japan, and thence toSnanghaia, the Gov
ernment undertaking to complete as far as
the mouth of the river, the land line of the
telegraph wire, which a.ready crosses the
, gTeatet part oi'Siberia up to a point with
;in 600 miies ol the coast. IV hen this un
dertaking is complete, and better commu
nication established with India, there win
remain only one very great telegraph en
terprise to be accomplished—a cable irom
England to Austria.
Madame lut Grange is in Pari;, living in
the quiet retirement of domestic life. She
I has definitely quitted the stage, and does
not expect to »mg again in public.

The Franco-American Cable.—The
entire length of the cable wili be about
3,050 mile?, or about 1,000 miles longer
than the English cable. That portion
taken on board the Great Eastern was
2,715 miles long, or 400 miles more than
that taken by her when she left England
to lay the Valentia cable. It has been
manufactured in two sections. The long
est section, running from Brest to St.
Pierre, will be 2,325 miles long; the short
er, extending from St. Pierre to the
American coast, will be about 722 miles
long. In “conductivity,” at least, the
cable will be superior to the English lines
already laii. The central copper wire is
larger, weighing 400. pounds to the mile,
that at present laid weighing only 300
pounds. Its insulation is perfectly se
cured. It is covered with Chatterton's
compound, and, over that, by four layers
of gutta-percha. Outside of these is a
spiral net of steel wires, each wire being
surrounded with five strands of Russian
hemp saturated with a preservative com-,
pound. Notwithstanding its immense
strength, tho caljle is as flexible in the
water as a hempen rope. Owing to the
superior conductivity of this cable, and the
absence of'breaks at various stations, mes
sages can be transmitted with a higher
rapidity than has been attained by the
English line. It is hoped that twelve
words a minute may be sent, instead of
eight, as at present. J
WIRE RAILWAYS.
A NEW INVENTION—FREIGHT CONVEYED
V OVER WIRES.
A railway without cuttings, embank
ments, tunnels, viaducts or bridges, no
matter how hilly the country to be travers
ed—such D the definition given by Ilera
path's Journal of an invention now in
use in Leicestershire, and a working model
of which may bo seen in Gresham street,
E. C. The wire tramway provides a sim
ple and cheap substitute for a line of'.rails,
and is of great service where, from the
scarcity or intermittent character of the
traffic, or the'engineering difficulties of the
ground to be got over, it is either not ex
pedient or impossible to go through the
.expensive process of forming a local rail
way. For the wire spans over and evades
obstacles in place of burrowing under or
levelling them, and will perform its task
as easily along a rugged tract of country
as on the smoothest, road. The experi
ment being now prosecuted, with complete
success between some Leicestershire stone
quarries and a railway station three miles
distant, consists of an endless wire
rooe, supported on a series of puliies car
ried by substantial posts, which are ordi
narily about one hundred and fifty feet
apart, but the interval between which may
be greatly extended, as is shown id one
ease, where the span from post to post is
six hundred feet. One of the ends of this
rope passes rouud a Fowler’s clip-drum,
worked by a portable steam engine, and
this drives the rope at a speed of six miles
an hour. Boxes are hung on the rope at
the loading end near the quarries by a
pendant which is ingeniously arranged to
preserve a perfect equilibrium and at the
same time to pass without hindrance over
the supports. Each of these boxes carries
one hundred weight of stone, and the .de
livery is at the rate of two hundred boxes,
or ten tons per hour for the three miles dis
tance.
Already wire tramways of the Leices
tershire model are in course of erection in
France, Italy and Spain. Negotiations
are ,n foot, too,between the Turkish Gov
ernment and the engineers here, and it is
not improbable that this generation may
see goods carried by wire as commonly as
messages. The tramway is, indeed, not
unlike an exceedingly stout electric tele
graph ; and there is something almost
droll in the sight of a regiment of well
laden trucks or boxes passing gravely along
it at stated intervals, and at a regular pace,
much rs if they were at tprial drill. The
most important, point in Mr. Hodgson’s
invention is his method of passing the
points of support, which consists in so curv
ing the frame of the truck or box as to
make the centre of(gravity come under the
rape. So admirably is this managed that
some of our leading engineers havo been
discussing quite recently the possibility of
constructing a stout wire tramway between
Dover and Calais, which should be sup
ported from a line of pillars sunk in mid
ocean, and along which passengers could
be conveyed. The cost would be compara
tively small, and suspensory trains could,
it is argued, be dispatched across the chan
nel without difficulty or danger.
It-should be stated that where- heavy
loads must necessarily be carried, a pair of
stationary supporting ropes, with an end
less running rope for the motive power,
are employed, and that by-’those means as
many as a thousand tons per day can be
easily conveyed. The cost of erecting
these tramways in England, and of sup
plying motive power and rolling stock, is
from £2OO a mile.for carrying fifty tons a
day, in boxes holding half a hundred weight
each, to £1,500 a mile for one of the double
rope lines, to carry 1,000 tons a day,'in
boxes or trucks holding six hundred weight
each. For all districts where there is traf
fic, but where.it would not pay to construct
a railway, the wire tramway is particularly
applicable, and, as will be readily, under
stood, wherever there is standing room for
posts, there a line can be erected. A re
cent application from traders in copper for
putting up one for them which should run
through an American, forest, and over an
African jungle down to the coast, illus
trates the varied circumstances under
which the new system of transport may be
applied.
A NEW HACK DISCOVERED IN AFRICA,
A Race Like the Anglo-Saxon of Asiatic
Origin— Their Religion Spiritual— Their
Government Monarchical.
From the Observer.
In the southwestern portion of Africa is
a tract about three hundred miles in
breadth, from north to south, and between
400 and 500 in length, from east to west,
laid down on the maps as ITereoro Land
or Darnara Land. It exteuds from the
Cunone river, on the north, to the Wal
fisch Bay, on the south, and from the
coast to Lake Ngami, in the interior.
Very lew Europeans have visited it; three
elephant hunters only, between 1857 and
1864, Anderson, whose works on “Lake
Ngami,” &c., are so well known. Green
and Smuts. Anderson was so much pleas
ed with the country that he purchased a
large tract of land there and raised some
thousands of cattle. He died there in the
early part of the present year,
There are two races inhabiting the coun
try, the Bftchuanas, who occupy some
kraals of villages iu the central and north
ern part, hut who are in a dependent con
dition, and the Ovas, of several tribes
(Ovambo, Ovarkereis, Ovambautieru,
Ovamguari, Ovakuenuma, Ovambuere,
&c,), a red race, With long hair—curly,
but never woolly—regular features and
fine forms. These are the ruling race,
and exhibit a high degree of intelligence,
and many characteristics which indicato
their Asiatic origin. They are governed
by a king—Tjikongo—of the Ovambo race,
who»resides at Ondonga. He is assisted
in the government by a council, without
whose consent he canuot execute any meas
ure. Each tribe has its prince and its ter
ritory, and the princes are subject to the
king and council, by whom, for any offence
against the laws, they may be deposed or
put to death. Each principality is divided I
into districts, governed by chiefs, who are j
ainenableto the princes, but have an ap- !
peal to the king and council. Their roads j
are excellent, and each lias an inspector, j
whose business it is to see that every per
son coming into the kingdom is stopped j
and entertained until his name and pur- \
poses can be forwarded to the King, and |
permission obtained for him to travel I
through the country. In the case of ex- i
plorers and hunters, there is usually lit-le ■
difficulty ; but traders are required to pro
cure some responsible citizen of the coun
try to be their guarantee that they shall
deal honorably, and pay all the debts they
contract.
The religion of the country is, in many
respects, so much like that of the Parsees
as to induce the belief that the Ovas belong
to that race, or have been under its tuitioD. |
They are not idolaters, but believe in a i
Supreme Being, the Creator, who is omni- ;
present, omnipotent, and omniscient, and
whose symbols are the sun and th: fire, •
and to these they pay homage as hisrepre- I
, Santa lives, but offer no sacrifice to them.
They keep the sacred fire constantly burn
ing, and the princes, who are also priests,
! entrust to their daughters, and sometimes
! to their wives, the duty of superintending
these sacred fires. The Ovas also believe
j in the existence of a very powerful evil
t spirit, who is not, however, omniscient nor
I omnipresent; and to his interference shev
I attribute their muthrtuciea
I-but they offer n« - ’ -- accidents,
_ sacrifices to him. They
... coin to be an honest, industrious and
temperate people, far more regardful es
their word, and more observant of good
morals than most of the African nations.

witness, ea the Fourth of July, that he
had, for fear he would be killed, and, of
the notes found on his person he had given
eighteen hundred dollafs counterfeit
notes to Mariaa Harris, to be returned to
him when they got home. It was, also,
proved that nine hundred counterfeits on

“Frksh as a Maiden’s Blush” is tlio
pure peachy complexion which follows (he
use of Hogan’s Magnolia Balm. It is the
true secret of beauty. Fashionable ladies
in society understand this.
The Magnolia Balm changes tho rustic
country girl iutoacity tielle more rapidly
than any other one thing.
Kedness, sunburn, tan, freckles, blotch
es and all effects of the Summer sun dis
appear when it is used, and a genial, cul
tivated, fresh expression isobtaiued which
rivals the bloom of youth. Beauty is pos
sible to all who will invest 75 cents at any
respectable store and insist on getting tho
Mag-iopa Balm.
