He has fully recov ered from the effects of his severe fall. He will leave the city on a ‘‘commercial tour" to-day. Capt. h. E. O’Keefe returned home from Charleston a few days ago. Ifo looks in fine health, and as though he enjoyed Ills respite from business. Mr. G. W. Brown made a Hying trip to the city from the Warm Springs. He re turned to that resort last night. We are glad to see Col. W. A. Barden back. He Is now here In the interest of his house at St. Louis. Home fellow in At lanta lias been announcing him as Col. W. H. Barton, and that his mission is to move the blackberry crop that Chipley has been writing übout. Several young men from Columbus will leave for Pine Knot Springs to-day to at tend the grand hail to be given there to night. - —-1. Kit** Flylutf. Kite flying In daylight Is an Innocent amusement—comparatively speaking. It is true somebody's foolish horse occasion* ftlly gets soared and breaks a buggy to pieces, but little accidents are to be classed among the necessary evils, and aro in no way attributable to the kites. A telegraph wire occasionally entangles tlie rigging of one of those little air ships and for days it hangs iu mid air, its form seen clear artd draggled against the sky, tho very picture of shattered hopes. There Is a kind of kite flying, however that Is not so innocent as this day sport. At present It Is very popular among our up town boys, and tho prudent citizens of that region are somewhat uneasy. Boys think there is nothing so grand as u big kite with a lantern to its tail, and every night these masterpieces of juvenile inge nuity assume their place among the Hea venly bodies. The danger Is that by the breaking of a cord or the cessation of tin* wind, those luminaries may descend on Homobody’s very dry roof and causo a “sequel." The other night one fell in a tree, whore kite, lantern and all wore in volved in a general conflagration, which lit tlie “scene around." In many cities there is a regulation against the flying of lantern kites. Tlioy have caused the destruction of a large amount of property. The boys say that whenever they find any umnsomeut that is really exhillrating and preferable to all others the municipal law Is suro tosond the policemen after them. This is sad and we sympathize witli the boys, but the pru dent citizens do not seem to like nocturnal kite flying, and suppose, like velocipede riding, it must bo proscribed. When will the persecution of srnnll boys come to an end ? - ——— -. Nnukey. A day or two since Messrs. N. T. Wel don, Noah Yardman, and A. Loeb were seining In Mulberry crock. They did not Succeed In catching many llsii, but they found nobler sport in a battle with a fe male wator-moccasin. They succeeded in slaving the reptile. She was over four foot long and about eight inches in circumfer ence. After she was dead twenty-five young snakes, from six to eight inches long, wore found in her body. It is sup posed she swallowed thorn to protect them from danger. It is said by old fishermen that moccasins frequently swallow their young on the approach of danger.

Mr. Editor: May I ask space in tho col umns of tho Timkh while I enter a re spectful protest against tho pleasant hut unprofitable sport of bull-bat shooting, an afternoon pastime so popular on our com mons Just now, with both young men and boys V That tho amusement of bat shoot ing is fascinating, 1 am well aware; hut lot us consider the question from a utili tarian point of view: Our game laws prohibit the killing of all insectivorous birds during the spring and summer seasons; and bull-bats (‘‘l don’t remember tho hot mural name," us the man said of the fish,) ure essentially and entirely ‘‘insectivorous.’’ They make their uppcaranco on the field late iu the afternoon, when mosquitos, winged-auits, gnats, moths, “and slch like deer," are also abroad, and the great numbers of these pests which they destroy would as tonish the uninitiubftJ. But probably the most important per formance of the bull-bat is the violent warfare which he wages against that plague of planters—the cotton-worm. If any one doubts this let him watch Urn bull-bat os he sails and swoops over the Cotton fields, and then lot him kill one at the close of an evening’s campaign, and examine his craw, and 1 think our skeptic will udmit that though the bull-hat may have "no voice for singing," nevertheless as a ‘‘mouf organ" (to quote a colored ex pression) he is a success. And then whoever heard of a bull-bat at tacking a grapevine, a fig tree, oraoorn field? Verily, nobody could find a true bill against him on these or any other fruitful grounds. Just compare him, for instance to a jaybird, or a woodpecker, and conduct grows beautiful by contrast. Thus, viewed from both a positive and negative stand point, the habits of tlie hull-bats compel us to consider them in tho light of friends, and, therefore, in all carnostness, let us desist from shooting these harmless and very useful birds. We aro told that in Scotland, whore in sects are far less numerous, and conse quently less annoying than here, tho fann ers have a practice which they humorous ly term ‘‘burning the witches;" that is, at twilight they make fires upon tin? elevated spots among orchards and grain fields for the sole purpose of destroying the moths and other InwHjts injurious to their crops ~n service which our bull-bat renders us, as a labor of love. In many portions of the country not only are game laws enforced, but sparrows arid other Insectivorous birds ure imported and carefully protected. Surely then, it !*•- hooves us of the South, who slider so greatly from tho annoyances, as well as the destructiveness of Insects, to protect those Insectivorous birds we aro so fortun ate ns already to possess. Respectfully, B. Tlil Year** Failure*, Tho Mercantile Agency in New York have obtained very full information of all tho failures that have taken place in the United States during the first six months of this year.

In the num ber of failures she stands about half way tlie list; some of her failures were very large. New York City leads the list in liabilities, though Massachusetts is ahead of her in the number of failures.

Late yesterday afternoon intelligence reached this city that tho freight train due hero from Montgomery at 6 p. m. had run off near Mott’s Mills, on the Western Rail road, and was a total wreck. First re ports, as usual, 7 were exaggerated, though an investigation showed that a serious run off had occurred at the locality indicated. The place near which tho train ran off is a wood and water station, and Is called Floyd’s Wood Rack, fifteen miles from the city. Tho freight train was pulled by the engine “Abner MeGeheo,” which was un der the charge of Conductor J. A, Colvin. Just after passing Floyd’s Wood Rack, and when tho train was under full head way—going probably at the rate of four teen miles an hour the run off occurred. It is supposed by Conductor Colvin that a stick of wood dropped from the tender of tho engine and was struck by the wheels of the car Immediately behind, thus throw ing it from the track. No other cause seems rational, us the road Is In good con dition at that point. The car immediately behind tho engine first ran off, and was immediately followed by six others just behind it. Ail of these cars except one were thrown from the track with great force, and fell on their shifts several feet from the rails some of them tumbling into a ditch. One of the ears was turned uround and loft on the track in that posi tion. The track was tom up for fully twenty five yards, and some of the rails wroueln*! completely out of place and considerably bent. Tho run off caused quite a shock to the whole train, and to tho conductor and passengers in tho cab. Nobody was hurt at all, the engine passing on safely before. The damage is considerable, and it will probably not Ik; fully repaired until some time to-day. The accident was tolegraph<Hl to Opeli ka, and a construction train left for the scene Into yesterday afternoon. Some help was also sent from this end of the road. The work was doubtless pushed vigorous ly all night. We learn that the passenger train which left hero at one o’clock could not pass, but was mot by a train from Opelika at the scene of the run-off and a transfer of passengers took place. The wune means will porha|)B be used this morning, as it Is doubtful whether the road will bo passable before 9 o’clock. The raising of tho freight ears will lx; the hardest part of the work. The freight is damaged considerably. The principal danger, however, is to the cars and rood. The approximate damages cannot be esti mated yet. It was a very serious run-off, and it was very fortunate that it occurred to tho very boxes that it did. or there might have been a loss of life. IC A <194. BLACK-AN I>-T AN WINS BY A LENGTH. The fall races opened yesterday on Broad street. The city entered Gray Ea gle, and the country entered Blaek-and- Tan; two in three; hundred yards to go. The first heat was made by Black and-Tan, Gray Eagle following closely. The second heat was foul, owing to taking nigh cuts. The third and most exciting heat was won by Black-and-Tau. Gray Eagle might have won the racM\ but just jus he was about to pass on the quarter stretch ho fell headlong Into the mud. The crowd declared Black-und-Tan win ner, as during the entire race he held to a basket swung on his arm. The basket, wn suppose, had in it wh at might have been taken without the con sent of tho owner. Tho policeman did fine running, hut the little niggor outrun him, and was declared the victor amid tho shouts of the crowd. Tho race created a considerable amount of fun on Broad street. The little niggor (for he was about the size of a bar of soap after a hard day’s washing) mailt* a manly run for liberty, and by dodging in and about tho trees and around wagons lie eluded tho policeman, and tho last seen of him ho was making for the upper bridge. Ho worked hard for his escape and fairly earned it. The po liceman, after failing, abandoned the chase. Wc did not learn why the little nig was wanted at headquarters. Speed is a first class recommendation to a police man, for in order to capture such chaps it is necessary. At last accounts the police were being reinforced, and tho chase was about to bo renewed. No extra policemen have Ikx*h detailed to guard the city, but there is a prospect, if that littlo nig should muster Ids forces and march on the city from across tlie river. \\ r*lvy XI on mm-tili*l ( hiircH. It will be of interest to tho largo num ber of Methodists in Columbus to know that the corner stone of the Wesley Monu mental Church was laid in Savannah on Tuesday. An immense crowd was present, and the ceremonies were very imposing. Dr. E. 11. Meyers delivered the opening address. An address was then delivered by I)/. Axson, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian Church, of Savannah. A great number of articles wero deposit ed in the corner stone. Some of them were sent from a distance. Tho articles con sisted of old coins, old books, old pajiers, Masonic records, copies of daily and other papers now published in Georgia, and greaf many other t hings. Tho venerable Dr. Lovick Pierce layed the corner stone and consecrated it. The AY a* s gives a lino picture of the church as it will appear when finished. It is a handsome Gothic structure. The ex treme length is 124 feet; extreme width 70 foot. The highest tower will be 186 feet high. The windows are to be very hand some, anil will be adorned by a gallery which will run all around ami over the pulpit. The choir will be placed just over the pulpit, and facing the congregation. There will bo 210 pews, and a capacity of easily seating over one thousand per sons. There will lx* six aisles. It is esti mated that the construction will require over 600,000 bricks. Tho exterior of the building will be very handsome, and there will bo five distinct entrances. Dixon A Carson, of Baltimore, are tho architects. The site chosen is in one of tho prettiest portions of Savnnah, and the church when finished will be one of the handsomest in the South. It will be an ornament to Savannah and an honor to the denomination, by whom it is being erected. Large contributions, to assist in paying for it, are coming in from Methodist churches in various parts of the State.

Byron's will requested that his body might be buried in the vault of the garden of Newstead without any ceremony or burial service whatever, and that no in scription save his name and age should bo written on the tomb or tablet. His name lie knew would be a lasting monument, and ho scorned the falsehood so usual in ojietaphs. Yet the action of the people of London in resolving to erect a monument to his memory Is approved by all as a fit tribute to injured genius. Mr. E.

Bradfield's Fe male Regulator is beyond precedent in the annals of popular remedies. Orders come in so thick and fast that the Propri etor has, heretofore been unable to fill them all. He is happy to state that ar rangements are now complete by which he is prepared to manufacture Female Regulator on a scale equal to the emer gency, and the public may find assured that their wants may now be supplied. Physicians of high repute are using this great remedy, in daily practice, all over Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf fer from suppressed, suspended or irreg ular menstruation. This valuable medi cine is prepared by L. H. Bradfield, Drug gist Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 per bottle by druggists throughout America. HEARTY BLOOMING WIDOW. Marietta, Ga., March 9, 1870. | Messrs. Bradfield d‘ Cos.: i Gentlemen—You will please ship us an- I other supply of your invaluable Female | Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We ! are happy to state that this remedy gives | better satisfaction than any article we ! sell. We have been selling it since 1808, and witnessed many remarkable cures by ! it. Among others, there was a lady i friend of ours who was sallow and sickly until she was twenty-six years old, when : she was married. Her husband lived two years and died. She continued in bad health; in fact, she has never been what a woman ought to be. A few months 1 after tlie death of her husband she saw I vour advertisement, and came to our | store and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us, and took it according to di rections. It has cured her sound and well, brought her regular monthly gri nds on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—with the use of but two bot tles of vour Regulator, costing her only three dollars, when she had tried several physicians and spent a great deal of monev without any benefit. Wishing you great success with your valuable reine- I dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc., W. Root & Sons. i ap23 3m “THE LOST CAUSE." 4 MAGNIFICENT Picture 14x18 inches iu iz<-.
