Newspaper Page Textn I ill—(Ml IMI II ij~ i mas* COLUMBUS: FRIDAY FEBRUARY 13, 1874. Ex-Governor Sovmour writes, in a pri vate letter which has found its way lo tho press: “When you go to Albany viait tho Museum of Natural History, Geology, etc., in tho Statu Agricultural llall; ask tho keeper to show you a pieoo of coral stone, which has to my knowledge been dripping oil for twenty yeara in that building, it may throw some light on tho oil question." If tho stone has been dripping oil for that length of time, and is not yet ex hausted, it imiRt colloct or abaorb material from tho atinoaphero, and if so, the ques tion of findiugorniakingHimilarahsorhcntH on a largo settle iH one worth considering. BbUNSWICK & A.L.11ANY KaILROAH.—The application for additional aid to this road, by tho surrender to the company of tho State's stock, in consideration of its ex tension to Eufttula or Pollard, seems to have very little ohanee of acceptance. Col. Sneed and Judge Loobrano, in behalf of thu holders of the repudiated bonds, and Col. Lockett in behalf of the railroad company, formally made to Gov. Smith, on Tnesdoy, a proposition to surrender the disowned bonds ($3,300,000 in amount) und comploto the road to Eu- faula, if the Stato would endorse bonds to tho amount of $15,000 per mile for the 1(50 miles now completed an 1 for the ex tension to Kiifaula. Gov. Smith declined to act in anticipation of tho Legislature, ami tho proposition was then made to the Finance Committee of the two Uouses, and rejected almost unanimously. am> itiuvsuicii i:\riA. SION. Tho bill, as it passed the House, pro poses to turu ever to tho compauy making tho extension, for tho terra of two years, such portion of the penitentiary qouvict hands as may be needed to work on it; the Stato to rcufilrm tho validity of its en dorsement of tho bonds of tho company under the act of 1870, amounting to $(500,000, and subscribe such bonds to the building of tho road, at the rate of $10,000 per mile as each suction of llvo miles is liniahod ; tho Stato also to run tho Mucon ami Brunswick lloiid, and pay the in to rest on its bonds, fur two years; and tho Stato to grant no other aid now or hereafter. It will bo seen that this is a Stato aid bill, in the wuy of und nsemout and as sumption, but not to such an extent as formerly given. The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday publishes a short sketch of the debate in the House on thu bill. We copy its syn opsis of Mr. Poubody's remarks : Mr. Peabody opposed tho measure, con tending that it was but State aid in a dif ferent phase, lie opposed the bill be cause it did not rid the Statu of the debt. Tho road had never paid tho interest on its bonds: its earning*) will not pay itu bonds, and the road will not Nell for cuoiigh to pay the bonds, lie argued against the policy of tho State breaking down tho Central Railroad, air only estab lished, lor one already broke ; that the Central Railroad, upon the authority of Capt. Foroaoro, controls one-third of the freight coming over the Slate Railroad, and could divert it to uuothor channel by u simple telegraph to tho Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Tho Statu will make money by not endorsing any more bonds, it will be worth a million dollars to us. tiiu Noitnir.iiN nnn( kail- HO All HO ITU. Maj. Gen. \V. 1). Hazun writes to tho Now York Tribunt a convincing letter coucoriiiug the uncongenial und worthless character of the country through which the Northern Pucitiu Railroad is to puss. This is tho utopian railroad whose bonds had no much to do in precipitating thu late (immoral pauio of tho country. Its friends and managers had represented that the couutry was a fertile and inviting ouc, and that tho winters wore so mild, ou aooouut of the curvature of ^isother mal lines," that the road would ho entirely froo from the obstructions by snow and cold that arc encountered on the Kansas nud Fuiou Pacific Railroads. Maj. lla/.on, whose post is at the mouth of tho Yellow- stouo river, and who has had eighteen yours of experience in tho military ser vice, much of it upon the frontier, writes to tho Tribune that these representations are egregiously fallacious. He gives a table of temperatures utul rainfall, kept for the last seven years consecutively, which shows that the mum monthly tem perature was 1*2.(51 degrees in December, 8.75 in Juuuary, 12.01) in February, nud 21.11 in March. During these months the temperature was, ou some days, 30 to 150 dogrees below zoro. Tho annual vari ation of temperature was from 130 to 138 degrees. “June, July and August were the only months in the last twelve in which we have not had snow storms or the temperaturo down to 15 degrees." The humidity in the warmer nmntUs was iiiHiitlieieut for general agriculture, aud the growing koasou too short for even early American corn to ripen except for roastiug ears. A native ludiun corn, of au inferior quality, ripened in about ton weeks, Maj. Hazeii Rays: “The storms in Min nesota and Dakota last winter and spring, in which hundreds of people lost their lives, aro fresh in the memories of al 1 . This entire Northwestern country is sub ject t» these terrific winter storms, which uuiund life cannot uuL&Und unices thor oughly protected. 1 have seen an area of country 20 miles across strewn with tho carcasses oL buffalo that uuial have per ished iu one of these storms. Not u win ter has passod since this post was estab lished. in 180(5, but some poor soldier of its garrison digs lost life or limb by freez ing.’ With some small exceptions w hich Maj. 11. names, ho says that the broad area of country stretching from tho valley of tho Red River of the North westward to the Sierras, a distance of 1,(500 miles, “will not produce tho fruits aud cereals of the East for wuut of moisture, and cau in no way bo artificially irrigated, aud will not, iu our day and generation, sell for one penny au acre, except through fraud or ignorance; and most of the land here ex cepted will have to be irrigated atifinial- ly. • * The country between the one hundredth meridian aud tho Sierras—the Rio Grande (of thu North) to the British possessions—will never develop into pop. ulotts States because of ita want of mois ture. Its counterpart is found in tho plains of Northern Asia and not in West ern Europe. Wo look iu vain for those expected agricultural settlements along tho Kansas and Union Pacific Railroads, between these two lines, and 20 years | hence the Rearch will be quite as fruitless.' | It is in behalf of tho Pacifio Railroad crossing this uninviting aud rigorous re- I gio:i that we aro told another elTort will I bo made to obtain government aid. It is ; even said that a “log-rolling" agreement has been proposed between this road and ■ the Southern Pacific. Much as wo desire tho opening of a railroad connecting tho Atlantic and Pacific along a Southern latitude, we hope that if it cannot succeed without a coalition with tho Northern Pacifio scheme, it will stolid upon its own merits aud suffer defeat for this sonnion of Congress. It is better to wait a year or two longer than to win a temporary triumph by inglorious association with a swindle and imposture. THE COTTON CATERPILLAR. Will tho Enquirer bo kind onough to ask Mr. Peabody, since ho has spontane ously watched thu cotton devouring worms from the cotton plant, whether they are progressive iu their evolution or not. If they bo progressive, I hopo ho will inform us whether in their next stago of development they become fish or rep tile, or beast, or bird, and also I would like to ask him if some two or three doz en of tho cotton caterpillars, which I saw ulivo and active in u little used room, four miles west of Columbus, on tho 2!)th March, of last year, were a spontaneous evolution from tho baro walls of tho room in which I found thorn, or a small hand ful of dry cotton limbs and leuves occu pying a small box in tho room. You cau say to Mr. Peabody that hav ing for two years studied with considera ble ciro, tho iippourauccs, habits and characteristics of tho oalerpillar in all stages of its development, both with tho naked eye and under a microscope, mag nifying thirty-six hundred times. I en tertain no kind of doubt tlmt the moth, examined by mo in March nml April last year, wore the genuine cotton tly. Thu room in which the caterpillars above referred to wero formed on tho 23th of last March, was one into which about tho middlo of Koptomber previous, I introduced u large number of the cotton worms, iu all stages of development, tho bolter to observe their habits and manner of development, und their introduction was continued up to tho period at which wo had a killing frost. Until froBt they had lioeu confined in a small box covered with glass, and uupplicd with fresh cotton bolls from time to time upon which to food. After frost, my observations ceased until my attention was called*to tho fact, u pleasant afteruoou in March, that tho windows of this room wore swarming with tho cotton tly. Examinod both by tho naked oyo aud Urn micoscopo. 1 identified them an the true cotton cater pillar. About tho 12th of April I de stroyed tho last one I could find in the room. It will bo reinomborud that tho winter procoding this was by no moans a very mild ouo, und if the cotton tly could sur vive tho cold of December and January, and ou to tho 12th of April, is I boro any necessity of supposing spontaneous evo lution simply because wo aro not aware how it was they hud survived tho winter. O. J. U. To (ho Patron* of IliiNbiiudr) of the Mlalo of Gcorgii*.

T. Paine, Secretary Commissioners. February 2, 1874. A Pyrotechnic Story. It is hard to convince a woman, says thu Savannah Xcics, A Wilkinson comi ty man carried home some fireworks for his son and heir, and his wife undertook to superintend the disnlay. The husband protested that ho would fix the tricks, but a sarcastic remark from tho partner of his joys, to tho effect that some men thought they know everything, silenced him. The woman then proceeded to show her son how it was done. She first seized a Roman candle and grimly pro ceeded to ignite it. The fuse was dump, and to facilitate matters tho woman fan ned tho spark into life by blowing on it. The response of thu caudle was too sud den to contemplate. Tho front hair aud eye-brows of the adventurous female dis appeared ns if by magic, and the candle fell into the collection of fireworks, and proceeded to tire itself off* with groat ex actuess, igniting tho other projectiles. A casual sky-rocket skimmed along the grass, causing the family cat to ascend the nearest tree with great violence,while a fiery serpent took refuge in the hus band's bosom. The author of all this trouble, discovering that her clothes wero on lire, sailed around the house with as muchjearnestuess ns tho liveliest pyrotech uic, and it was some moments beforo the frightened husband could arrest her wild career. Later—the son aud heir was found under the houRO with the back of his jacket burned out. The woman is now an invalid, and tho man writes to a friend that he never had a more enjoya ble New Year.
