It is well known to our readers that the Judge is an aspirant for the Sena torials honors of the Kith district. The result of the primary recently hel l in Emanuel county, shows that he is the choice of his own county. He is pure, upright, honest, incorruptible—he is a man of high integrity and acknowledged ability; and we say of our own voli¬ tion that ho would make a good Senator. Dea«l. Mr. Jared l. Rcnfroe ijied at his home near Wrightsvilie on .Sunday the 20th inst., of congestion of the brain. 11 is remains, followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives, were interred in the cemetery at this place on the follow iug day.

'Thomas is in town this week for the purpose of perfecting arrangements to begin work on this end of the Wriglitsville tb Tennille Railroad. He informs us that the work is progressing as rapidly as could be expected, and that if Wrightsvilie will only do her duty, the road will be completed in time to off the bulk of this year’s crop. If the citizens of this place, who have subscribed and promised, or indica¬ ted, that they would work out their stock, will come up and grade the and a half miles, between Cedar and Raiford Brantley, which will cost less than one thousand dol lars, Mr. Thomas will connect the work from Harrison’s with that at Brantley’s,and the grading will then complete between Tennille and creek, except a little space between Harrison and Griffin branch, which can be done in a week or so. work can all be done by the of September, and then the iron be laid within tlie same month, giving Wriglitsville a complet¬ railroad by the first of October. us bestir ourselves and finish the Mr. Francis Coggin, a cotton manufacturer, says the secures our home market and pre¬ vents England’s invasion of it.
