A SPLENDID MANUFACTORY.
Wo mado note a few days since of the
elegant flouring mills of Mr. Geo. W.
Woodruff. Since then wo have been
shown tho establishment and are glad to
publish It as an ornament to the city. The
mill in every detail is complete, with the
very latest machinery, and are daily turn
ing out the very best grades of flour. In
fact, experts and housekeepers claim a
large preference for tho flour manufac
tured by the Empire Mills, over all other
brands brought to this market. Besides
having unusual facilities for making Hour,
meal is made In great quantities, and
shipped by Mr. Woodruff all over South
Alabama and West Florida. The ndll
tnrns out three hundred barrels of flour
and one thousand bushels of meal per day.
They employ 16 regular hands, and ten
hands in loading and unloading grain.
The now granary is 210 feet long, and a
railroad track running from the main
branch of tho Mobile A Girard Railroad
runs through the granary. A pair of
largo scales, drawing four tons, stands at
the head of (lie granary. Mr. Woodruff
owns tho mill, and has in his employ his
son as salesman, Mr. Joe Jefferson, grain
sampler; J. 8. Dozier, book-keeper, and
Mr. H. T. Jackson as general traveling
agent. The establishment, it will be seen,
is well officered unit in every way capaci
tated to servo tho public. They havetheir
own dray lino ready to deliver freight In
tho city, or to the railroads and boats.
All the facilities tho mill controls allows
them to sell flour, meal, bran, shorts and
seconds, cheaper than any establishment,
In the State. Wo hope to see them find a
markot for their goods all through tho
South. It is a home institution and should
iiave preference over Western and North
ern mills.

She brought the darling with her
to see the pluv. Her entire devotion
to the active infant and total indif
ference to observation proclaimed her
its mother. She tickled the baby
under the chin till it crowed again.
Site seized its foot and shook it till
the infant suffocated itself with de
light. This had a bad effect, ior
when the buhe recovered its wind it
yelled with fright. Then,such a kiss
ing and dandling. It was tossed and
playfully shaken, and grinned at,
and chirruped to until it began all
ot her alarming laugh. An artificial
rose in the maternal bonnet caught
the infantile eye, and tlie delighted
mamma suffered heroffsprlng to bob
weakly up and down on its limber
legs, and jabber earnestly at the
floral ornament. People in the vicini
ty grew nervous. Such a lively infant
was sure to make tilings disagreeable
before the evening was over. Sever
al young meii got up and
changed tHeir seats to tlie other side
of tiie theatre. Gentlemen contracted
t heir brows, and unmarried ladies as
sumed fixed smiles of unnatural sweet
ness as they cast their line eyes to- j
ward tiie playful infant and its proud
and happy mother. The lights were
turned up, and bulged out the infant’s
eyes with surprise. One feeble little
hand, with all the tihy lingers work
ing, was stretched convulsively to
ward the glittering gas jets on the
other side of the auditorium. Tiie or
chestra began with a crash. The baby ;
fell upon its back in the maternal lap
and set up a shriek so loud that the
old German doing a little solo on the
cornet between crushes had li is sound
quite drowned. It was noticed that
when it came to the bass drum man’s
turn to chime in he did so with a |
thundering vigor that would have j
covered the screeches of a foundling i
hospital. Baby got used to it, and I
when the curtain rang up sat in a!
state of stupefaction, staring at the j
actors. An amiable old gentleman,
in eye glasses and white vest, sit
ting immediately in front of the
baby, wearied of the play, and in the
most grandfatherly manner possible,
turned, and, poking a fat, forefinger
into tlie infant’s ribs, jocosely clicked
his tongue. The consequence of this
advance was that just as a young gen
tleman on the stage, who was on his
knees before a young lady, with aver
ted head, remarked, in an impassion
ed manner, “And, Edith, darling,
should heaven bless our union and
give us”—baby gave a howl of super
natural loudness. The confused and
mortified old gentleman blew his
nose with prodigious vigor straight
before him with a very red lace. The
young gentleman on the stage was
startled out of his speech, and the
young lady, overcome with emotion,
stuffed her handkerchief into tier
mouth. Every man in tlie house
scowled at the mother, who seemed
more calmly delighted with her dar
ling than ever, and made loving faces
at it for full five minutes. She was
really and truly unconscious that she
and her pet annoyed any one, and
throughout the whole evening smiled
serenelyand looked upon the infant’s
screams and kicks as marks of a pre
cocity which must excite the admira
tion of the public.

TIIUOIGII TO THE PACIFIC.
WHAT THE TEXAS PRESS THINKS THE PRO
POSED NATIONAL HIOIIWAY SHOULD BE
From tlio oalvcton Hew..]
The News contended for a termi
nal point (of the Texas & Pacific
Railway] inside of Texas, not in the
interest of Galveston ]>eeuliarly, but
in the interest of and for the dignity
and prestige of the collective State us
a commercial, industrial, social and
political community. In urging this
claim t Ik- News made no reference to
the enterprise in any other character
than that signified by tlie name
which it assumed, and by the large
favors which it asked and received
from t lie Slate. If the Texas & Paci
fic Railway is not satisfied to remain
in that character, and to abide by its
logical and equitable implications,
very well. Rut then, if the special
advocate of the enterprise insists on
presenting it in the light ofa national
institution, and renounce, the idea of
its being eminently Texan, with what
reason can they claim the eminent
bounty of Texas in continued liberal
ity of legislation? The immense ex
tent, of the public domain of the State
granted to the road on conditions
which have failed, would be accept
able, and probably efficient, aids to
many projects of internal improve
ment which do not pretend to be
national first, and Texan afterward
or notat all. The coast towns of the
State would he glad to have some
of it to assist them in building break
waters and dikes, Tlie people of
Western Texas, who justly complain
of her practical exclusion from the
benefits of the bounties lavished by
the State in helping to develop a
railway system which is thus far con
fined to the Eastern and central por
tions of the State, would gladly see
ull of it devoted to tiie speedy exten
sion of that system into theirsection.
Such an amend for past neglect
might go far toward healing the dis
affection which threatens an ulti
mate division of the State. Rut
what internal jealousies and troubles
could be delayed, what dangers to
the unity of the State could be avert
ed by the continued lavishing of
Texas bounty on a railroad enterprise
that proposed to traverse merely the,
extreme northern border of tlie State,
to make its terminal points, east and
west, outside of the State, and to en
tertain no proposition to modify such
an arrangement by consenting to
have at least one terminus on the
coast of Texas? Perhaps when this
matter is better understood, the Tex
as & Pacific Railway will see that it
can afford to be a Texas institution
so far as to engage to subscribe to
a reasonable condition, in behalf of
the common interests of the State at
large, to its continued enjoyment of
the State’s liberality.
The San Antonia Herald does not
think well of the Convention at St.
Louis to make influence in favor of
Colonel Tom Scott, and remarks:
If the South is to be benefited by ]
the completion of this road, it eaii j
only possibly bo at our own expenses j
in building and operating roads that
may become hrancii roads, leading
to the several commercial marts in
the south. These expenditures may j
be in apperatu.s for changing thej
gauge of ears upon the Texas &
Pacific road, so as to adapt such
trains ns (he South may be enabled
to control to tho different gauges of j
the Southern roads. In crossing thej
Mississippi river, in mukingSt. Louis
the eastern terminus, as designed by
the lire sent machinations, they pos !
sess a noble bridge to pass their rail-!
road ; whereas, at. their own expense, j
Southern cities will have to cross'
what trains they can divert from the j
main lines on ferryboats. Thus it j
will be perceived, that it Congress
accedes to the petition of Tom Scott
it Cos., what would bo claimed as a
boon to tlie South would enure to
her serious detriment, and almost
exclusively to tin* benefit of tin*
North going to swell tlie otherwise j
vast resources of tlie North at the ex
pense of tho South. We have given
to our readers tlie letter of Senator
Johnston, of Virginia. against
these intrigues of Tom Scott. We
have given them the strictures of
Gen. Beauregard upon the Johnston ,
letter and in favor of aid to Tom
Scott, to build the road in the man
ner he suggests. We have more re
cently published in extenso the
speech of Mr. Rond, the Vice Presi- !
dent of tho Texas & Pacific Railroad,
the salaried advocate of its peculiar
interests, so that it will be seen we
have presented to our readers a fair
and candid opportunity to judge ofj
its merits and demerits. Our own
worthy Governor has complied with
the wishes of Tom Scott A Cos., and
appointed delegates to attend said
convention.
The East Texas Patron, under the
heading, “Monopolists at Work,”
thus speaks of the schemes of Col.
Tom Scott and his coadjutors in the
Texas Pacific Railroad Company :
“The Southern people and South
ern influences are to be won over by
naming the thing Southern, and Tex
as, by calling it tiie Texas Pacific
Road," when the truth of the matter
is, it would only bo an extenson of
Col. Scott's great monopoly, the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad, with
its true termini in Philadelphia or
New York, and its pretended eastern
terminus at Shreveport, where close
connection would be made with the
lines extending north, which are un
der the control of Col. Scott.
While we would he benefited by
any arrangement which is perfected,
so the road is pushed through from
Fort Worth to the Pacific, we cannot
indorse a scheme which pretends to
be furthered for the interest of the
whole South, and whieli is so far
from it. We want a direct route to
the Atlantic seaboard through the
Southern States, if you are going to
tack Southern Pacific to the scheme
as its name.
Shreveport is a Western city her
self ; then why make it, au eastern
terminus of the road? The obstacles
which have been thrown in the way '
of the completion of the gap between !
Shreveport and Monroe, so as to pre
vent even a connection with Colonel
Scott’s Texas A Pacific Railroad,
shadows forth plainly that it is!
Colonel Scott’s intention to divert i
the business of the proposed road
over his northeast connections.
What we want is a purely Southern
air-line road, which will benefit the!
whole South and assist us in rebuild
ing our shattered resources. We are
glad to see Governor Coke has ap-j
pointed delegates to the Railroad
Convention in St. Louis, and we hope ;
they will act and speak out for equal;
and exact justice to the whole South. ;
The road lias such great inducements
to offer capitalists over any line of
road now in contemplation that it j
would doubtless have been long since
completed but for the machinations
of these same, railroad monopolists.
We shall look with interest to the
proceedings of the St. Louis Conven
tion arid see if might will prevail
over right, nature against scheme
and intrigue, and just legislation
against the monopolists.

Tlie demand for Dr. J. Bradtteld’s Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come In so thick and fast that tlie Propri

he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer

jhat their wants may now lie supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over

HEARTY RLOOMINO WIDOW.
Marietta, Ga., March 9, 1870.
Messrs. Ilraitfleld A (bj
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
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 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, when
she was married. Her husband livid two
years and died. She continued in bail
health; in fact, she has never been what
u woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
spire and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It hive cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when she had ti led several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
great success witn your valuable reme
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
