Mr. Milner informs ug (says the Pensacola Gazette) that the surveying Las been completed, and the work will be commenced next week—-stakes be set and the ground broken. The rails are to extend to the beach at the foot of what is now called Taragona street, toe hne of which it will be necessary to cut through; but we are not mistaken, we believe, when we assert that the city has contracted to furnish the opening of it preparatory to the grading of tlie rail road. The Depot is situated 4000 feet from the besoh, extending 2000 feet in length by 400 wide. At the extremity of the rails there will, doubtless, be another wharf constructed in order that vessels may the more easily load without the necessity of their cargoes being carried in drays or carts to the other wharves. This, however, will be constructed and built after the finishing of the railroad Now things arc progressing favorably for the railroad, and we hope it will be carried through without interrup tion or detriment. Iney (the builders) have much to oontend against, but, with a bright look out ahead, all obstructions can be either avoided or rem edied. Steamboat Bomt—Georgians Lost 1 Mr. B. H.

WM. H. KELLY, Adm’r. debonis non with the will annexed April 7th--2m--* Beautiful Assortment of Yalei tines! H*FESKIABV 14th, 1836..^ I HAVE just received from New York, Balti more, and Philadelphia, the most extensive as sortment of Valentines ever offered in this place, and every thing connected with them, such as Writers, Verses, Envelopes, Lace Paper, Ate., and am prepar ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from five cents to twenty dollars. 1 have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty and love, and her darling Cupid, and they have gracious ly chosen for their retreats the Madison Book Store, and have commissioned their friend, Benjamin G, Liddon, as high priest of love, courtship and marri mony. “The world is full of poetry—the air Is living with its spirit; and the waves Dance to the music of its melodies And sparkle in its brightness.” This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a Valetine, to some fair friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend ship, esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to whom we donate. It may, perchance, be received with silent approval, told only by the fair faoe, “Where eloquent blushes burn and fade, Rich with the wealth of warm emotion; Or starry dimples mock the abade, Like jewels in a restless ocean.” Valentines are the ambassadors of thought, where language faila They substitute, in glowing eloquenoe, the reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning. Faithful to my trust, as a so vant of the public I am doing all in my power to further the interests of those youths and maidens who are suffering from an affection of the heart. To all, of every age, and of every rank in life, I offer a specific that has never failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Y*ien tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator of the tender passions, that none make love without Banding one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON, Madison, Feb 2,1866, 4tf
