Front.
A white frost was seen in many plncos
yesteiduy morning. We can hear of
datungo to any species of vegetation. The
day was bright, pleasant and beautful.
Tallannee Mills 0/ Alabama.
In the last mouth 1,296 halos of oottou
have been bought in Columbus for these
mills, which now promise to retrieve the
ruin almost produced by the mismanage
ment of this factory.
Half-Mile Race Yesterday Morniny,
There was a half-mile dash on the Fair
Grounds track between a bay colt aud
“Possum," a gray mare—both owned by
private parties. The colt won easily
fifty-five seconds. The purse was fifty
dollars a side.
First Colored. Divorce Cane.
Stopheu Pride, the corporation hand of
twenty-five years, who was drowned
Thursday, obtained the first divorce of
any colored man in Georgia. Shortly
after he married. The children by his

over the little properly he had,
Columbus Fire Department.
. At the meeting of the Board of Con
trol, Friday night, it was rosolvod to have
an inspection of the Fire Department
Monday nfteruoon, May 4th. No parade
wna agreed on. Iu fact,it was decided to
have none. When the line was dismissed
companies can go through any coutest
they please.
Muscoyee Snjterior Court,
This Court convenes on % the second
Monday in May. Yesterday was return
day for equity cases. Five new casos wero
returned, mnking forty-one now o
docket. Return day for commou law’
cases is tho 21st of April.
Good Payments—Comes in Good Time.
The Columbus cotton factories paid out
yesterday some $12,000 for the wages • f
operatives for the past two weeks. This
helps out our tradesmen wonderfully, aud
everybody else. All tho factories are now
enabled to start again. Tho Columbus
mills are never slopped by high water.
The factors account now shows 0,451 bales
of cotton—1,581 more bales than last
year. It is thought this account will
reach 11,000 halos this season.
nily deplore. Mbs Kate, n most interest
ing young lady, daughter of I)r. N. J.
Bussey, President of the Eagle it Phenix
Manufacturing Company, was riding on
horseback, in company with Mr. J. A. L
Green, of Savannah, a young man con
nected with tho mills ns book keeper. On
lower Broad street the young lady’s horse
became frighteuod and sho was thrown
from her saddle. In falling, the horse’s
hoof struck her head, fracturing the skull,
and sho was carried insensible into an
adjoining house. About dusk she was
carried to her father's residence, in the
upper portion of the city. Tho injuries
were c-x 1 mined by Drs. Stanford, Word
and Bozeman. We understand that they
not necessarily fatal, and that she may
recover. The probabilities are in favor
that sho may got well. The accident is a
very sad one.
The Railroad Situation.
Trains arrivo aud depart on the AVost-
n llailioad as ummI, and is the only
route by which wo now receive mails.
The Mobile and Girard Railroad is re
ported all right its entire length between
this city aud Troy. Trains left Uuion
Springs yesterday morning and arrived in
usual time. 'I ho track is repaired on both
sides. Tbo Montgomery and Eufuula
Railroad trains are running os usual.
Tho Mobile and Girard regular schedule
will be resumed iu a few days.
Officers expect that tho North & South
Railroad will bo so repaired as to tuko
passengers for the terminus by Tuesday,
and freight by Wednesday.
When tho Southwestern will run is a
question of doubt. 'Iho track from the
three mile to the twelve mile post is badly
washed. Hands ou some days have work
ed almost neck high in water. Fifty extra
laborers were employed at this point Fri
day. When the water subsides work can
progross more rapidly. Tho washes aro
iu low places from which the streams flow
slowly. Carriages were sent out yester
day to bring iu passengers from Rock
Creek. The lepairs may be finished by
Tuesday, and certuiuly by tho latter
part of this week, though a longer time
may be required. Colton is being shipped
1 Opelika.

nUMAN HEWERS.
At a mooting of the Social Sciouco
Congress in Belfast, Ireland, a few yours
ago, a paper was read by Dr. Brown rep
resenting tho sanitary condition of that
city, which was stiff ring from typhus fe
ver, the causes of which wero attributed
to bad sewerage, and a poor supply of
water. A Mr. Moxva’t, however, showed
that the epidemic prevailed chiefly among
tho wealthy classes, aud iu tho suburbs
beyond tho district whoro tho soworago
and water wero so dofectivo, and that
thoso people did not drink tho impuro
water of Belfast, but Bass’s alo and
Guinness’ porter. Sir James Simpson,
tho celobrnted Scotch physician, who pro-
sided over the “Health Section" of tho
Congress, iu summing tip tho discussion,
said: ‘‘Ladies and Goutleiueu; If peoplo
will make sewers of their own bodies, by
pouring all sorts of stuff iuto their mouths,
it is of very little use to muko sowers iu
your streets.
This common souso warning applies ns
well to America, iu view of tho cholera
which has already ravaged somo of our
western and southern cities and villages,
and which still threatens tho Atlantic
Slates. It is a well kuown fact that the
intern porate aro generally tho most
uumerous end certain victims of tho
dreaded scourge. And intompo nnco iu
tho midst of luxury is quite defenceless
against it as among tho lower classes.
Tbore aro half a million of drunkards
the United States, and 300,000
paupers in almshouses, iu addition lo all
tho vagrant pauperism rnado by drink. Of
twenty thousand lunatics, one half
caused by alcohol. Of thirty thousand
criminals, more than twenty-five hundred
are made such by liquor. Ninety-live out
of every hundred persons convicted of
capital crimes became murderers by (ho
uso of rum. Tho death-rate of intem
perance iu England is one-tenth. Iu oth
er words, of seven hundred^ thousand
deaths last year, seventy-thousand wore
occasioned by strong drink. This would
muko seven bundled thousand in ten
years, and three millions and a half vic
tims of tho cup in fifty years, iu England
alone. In this land tho proportion is not
loss. Wars, famino aud postilonco com
bined do not carry off so many bodies
aud souls of men in anyone country with
in tho same periods of time.
From these data, it is quite easy to ver
ify tho statement of the Edinburgh pro
fessor as to the relations of pestilence to
intemperance, for this vico carries with
it all that is destructive iu crimo, poison
ous in fiith, vile in immorality, and de-
debasing in habit. Its physical derange
ments aro inseparable from its moral de
basement.
Tho following statements in figures are
calculated to alarm any thoughtful mind
ed Christian;
WHISKY.
It is said that, ono hundred and thirty
thousand places are licensed to sell spirit
uous liquors. Three hundred and ninety
thousand persons are employed in these
grog shops. If wo add to them tho num
ber employed in distill; rlcs and wholesale
liquor shops,we shall have at least 670,000
mployed in sending their fellow mortals
to premature graves. In tho National
Boer Congress, at their ninth annual ses-
at Newark, N. J., in 18(59, tho Presi
dent presented statistics showing the
whole amount of capital employed, di
rectly nnd iiuliretly, in tho manufacture of
boor to bo $105,000,()()(), giving employ
ment to 5(5,003 men. Crime is mostly
caused by drunkenness. Criminals cost
America $40,000,000 year. Tho liqm
traffic annually sends to prison 100,000
persons, reduces 200,000,ono childr
stato worse Ilian orphanage, sends (50,000
annually to drunkards’ graves, and makes
00,000 druukurds. The people of Ameri-
i, according to the report of Commis
sioner Wells, swallowed from the coun
ters of retail grog shops iu one year, poi
son liquor to tho amount of $1,573,481,-
85G. This terrible business against the
laws of God and man, is rapidly increas
ing, and loudly calls for some measure of
protection. —In (lex.
Then, too, wo have another statement
equally alarming:
A FRIGHTFUL EXHIBIT.
In llio first half of (ho year 187:5 the
quantity of homo mudo Hpirits paying ex
cise duty as being retained for ui.n.snmp-
tion as a bevurage in England was 7,245,-
S51 gallons, an ineic.wu 600,000 gal
lons over the qu n ity in the correspond
ing half of hist year; iu He eland. 2,913,-
942 gallons, an increase of above 127.ODD
gallons; in Ireland, 3,080,471 gallons, nu
increaso of nearly 21(5,0011 galaius; mak
ing a total in (he United Kiugd an of 13,-
225,284 gallons; on iumva-e of 942,805
gallons over tho corresponding half of
last year. The consumption of colonial
spirits is much less than of home-made,
but the entrie s of these also for consump
tion in the United Kingdom, show a con
siderable increase in the first half of the
year 1873.
COST OF LIQUOR.
John Ruskin lately undertook to im
press a wholesale lesson of temperance on
some English working peoplo assembled
before him, and aid their imaginations iu
grasping the enormity of (lie evil, ho
made these calculations: That 1,500,()()()
acres of tho land of tho United Kingdom
icupied in supplying the means of
getting drunk." Tlrs is more than all the
arable land of Scotland. But this is not
tho worst of it. Tho produce of this
land, after being manufactured into drink
sold to tho people—the spirits at tho
rato of “twenty-seven shillings and six
pence for two shillings’ worth, and the
beer at the rate of two .-hillings for tlnoo
pence half-penny worth." in other words,
um spent by tho people for liquors is
huudred and titty-six millions of
pounds, of which ono huudred millions is
profit. — Tndcx.

Attention !
As my Address *»n elementary Agri
cultural Chemistry, ti
est and shortest means
compounding manures,
received and hem lily oi
overy intelligent plant
lie that withholdeth tho corn thepeo-
shall curse him.” Should this Scripture
find a midden fulfillment in tho world,
wlml a shower of curses xvould bo rained
down upon the brewers and distillers of
tho land.
NS hut a terrible fact to contemplate
that $50,000,000 worth of breadstuff
annually withholden from tho people of
thiscountryienough to feed all tho paupers
of the land, and drive want fron
home—and made up iuto poison tofilltho
land with pauperism, crime, xvretohed-
ness uud woo, actually murdering its 100,-
000 victims uuuually.
"Who are more richly deserving the
curses of tho peoplo than tho manufactur
ers and venders of alcoholic drinks ? The
nutritious properties of tho best Bava
rian boor aro s>> small that it xvill take 730
gallons to contain as much as a five
pound loaf of bro id; and it xvill take
1,200 pounds of barley t > make 730 gal
lons of beer; here we see the w icked waste
of bread. In 1869, England consumed
63,000,000 bushels of giuiu in her brew,
cries ami dial 1.cries, and bad 1,500,000
paupers, four-fifths of them made so by
the poisons made from this jgrain. In
1816 ’47, when tho famine raged in Ire
land uud u half million of people starved
to death, tin re was then stored in the
brcweiien and distiffi nrs grain enough fo
huvo fed them nil and saved their lives.
H-.xx long sLhII this murderous bodiless
goon ? The Christian church is larg'lv
responsible for the rum murders that till
all i,nr public jourrm'H, nnd send red
halide 1 min through the land. Is this a
Christian laud that allows one hund ed | . ,
thousand lives to bo taken annually by | portion ana prosperity
the demon drink, and docs not say to tho
law-makers, “stop this business ?" —
