A correspondent of the New York Times says this great work, w.bc-was prcjected manyears ago is being pushed teadily forward, and will be running, before many months, to the foot of the North Carolina mountain. This road opens up for Knoxville the rich Cotton lands of the Little Tennessee, and the mineral wealth of Smoky Mountain, and will, when completed to the sea board, pour them into the lap of Char leston. By the construction of a road from Augusta to the Blue Ridge, via the Savannah valley, and a connection, from Augusta with Port Royal the great West will find the shortest route to the sea, and Augusta become a great depot for Western produc's, from which shippers at Savannah, Port Royai, and .Charles ton will make up their cargoes. The completion of this work is only a matter of time. The scarcity of money at presents forbids any material aid to the enterprise from this section-; but two o three good crop years will give us means- for the prosecution of the work. when, we cannot doubt, that an enterprise of such preeminent impor tance will receive theattention it deserve.. Augusta is the natural intersecting Vint for the great central line from Vsshington to New Orleans w ith the shortest line from the Ohio to the At lantic. An examination of the map will prove this io' be true. Let those who croak about Augusta as a finished city, and talk about going to some n.ore pro mising locahty. look well to the natural s antages of this sturdy city, before hazas ding the uncertainties of a change. -Augusta Press. Goe mto Werk. The Albany (Ga.) Patriot, of the 17th iust., says: "tany of our planters have gone to work, and are turning up the soil with a vim, that looks like old times. Those who were fortunate enough to procure a full corps of hands are making preparations for a large crop. However, there are many planters without more than half help enough to man th.ir plan tations, while there are some with scarce ly any handsat all. The negroes general ly have all gone to work in this locality. There are none to hire, and help must come from some other source if all the land r.'Southwe.stern Georgia is placed under cultivation." We are phased (says the Savannah News) to state that we have similar in telligence from all the counties in South ern ar.d Southwestern Georgia. We learn, also, that the views expressed by this paper in regard to the di ecrsifiention of the crops are generally approved by the planters, who concur with us in the opinion that if, in the past year, the plan had been adopted and followed of planting a full provision crop, the South would hare been better off -than now. - They have intelligently considered the question. Who can raise ('#ton, to the exclusion of breadstuffs, and sell it for thirty or thirty-five cents per pound, * ~ whent he works freedmen, and pays twenty-five cents per' pound for bacon, - and one dollar and a half per bushel for corn, when flour is sixteen and nineteen dollars per barrel, and an ordinary milch cow is regarded cheap-a t thirty dollars, and .hen every necessary article is at equally high rates ? Out of the earth must come our relief from the terribly depressed condition of the present, and by the provident system of planting we have suggested. s er A NEw EimauS.-Strange it is that a land whose soil and climate c<mstitute. it a winter and summer, "Market garden" for the world las so little labor or capital invested in an enterprise honorale, pleasaurt and remunerative. We learni .fr-om the Fernandina Courier that "se'-e t gentlemen have arrived here recently *ho are.looking out situations f.'r -gar dei purposes. They design enterin;r * tapon- e.basiness on a large scale and raise'v gtables for. the Northern mar kets." .That paper further says : "We - are mueh surprised that some of our pea-' hve not embarked in the enter prise now, We know of no business that will pay so well an'd require so lit tieapitat to carry it on. The advanta ges of soil and c'irrate, and facilities we shall soon have for making shipments, will certainly make this a good busines.s. It is becoming more and more m 'ni'est every day that our State is to be devel oped by strangers. Our people are-slum . ering over their interests and following. in the old beaten track.

If a lady's-what d'ye call 'ems-are not her own, what L bas she that is her own ? That a man, after so outrageous a de * cision, could have the temerity to enter the presence of his lawful spouse, only illustrates the fearful demoralization of -the times and the hard-heartedness which a long course of onrestrained-but our feelings over whelm us. Nothing but an amendment to the Con * stitution offers the slightest prospect of relief.

The brave deeds of those who gave up their lives for their country have monu m~ents more hasting than marble in the hearts of all who recognize their patriotic devotion i and in due time it will be proper to mrark their resting places with appropriate tok ens of appreciation.

The receipts of the New York Tribune for 1866, were $909,448 ; and the expenses $882,908. As the item of rent is not in luded, it will be seen t,hat the profits - of this, large establishment, with its host of busv hands and brains, is not so great for< the immense outlay of capital. Quite a number of papers of late have been forced to suspend, owing to the im mense cost of paper and other printing ma terial. Jn our own State several have been discontinued, that were doing a fine busi .ars, but withal ex penses exceede d income. And we cite from our exchanges a great many changes. Parties thinking the busi ness very remunerative-every thing looking so fine on paper-are ambitious to "run the machine", butt soon grow alarmied at the amont of labor, care and-epnense, and Whioh was it I For the benefit of many . persons who are anxious to know whether our es teemed friend Dr. James, the push car, or the band car, suffered in the collision which occurred in November last, we reprint the paragraph which has created so -much doubt. It was clipped from the Laurensviile Herald, and handed to the devil to put in type and he played the devil with it as will be seen. In answer to the question however, we believe that Dr. James received the injury,and neither the push car nor the hand car. We sincerely trust that this explanation will prove s-itisfactory, and hope that Dr. J., who is now convalescent will be able to smile at the blunder which broke the femur bone of the push car. SEVERE AcCIDENT.-We regret to state that our esteemed fellow,townsman Dr. B. S. James, the lessee of the Laurens Rtilroad, met with a severe ac^ident on Tuesday night last, while coming up the road on a hand car, having gone down on some business connected with therep:iirs of the track. The acciden* happened in this way; the hand ear comit; up the road, near Kinard's about 10 o'clock at night. at rather rapid speed fearing no danaer, though the night was too daik to distinguish anything on the trick, ran into a pu-h car standing on the track, throwing the Doctor who was sitting in front violently forward on hi: side between the rails. The push car had been put upon the road and moved a mile or two from where the hands had put it off when quitting work, by some perzon unknown: a.id -ft tstanding upon the track. When the collison occurred the push car was knocked forward by the momentum and thrown between the two and run over by the hand car, rece iving severe bruises and fracture of the femur bone near Its head He was brought to his home on Wednesday, snffcrint very much.

TAgit TOUa DISTreCT PAPER.-The im iortance of taking the District paper ras verified one day -during the past. reek in the following manner: One of ur subsericers who had been a regular atron of the Herald up to the Ilatte art of the past year, tencluided at the xpiration of his time to discontinue his rper, and did so, stating that he was ot able to afiord the expense. He came n one day the past we2k, anid renewed is subscription, stating that in conse uence of not being a subscriber, he had ome near losing over eighty d liars by ot seeing a notice of a settlement of an atate to which he was a creditor to the foresaid amount.

Gift Concerts, &c , which appear from time to time in the public. prints, offering most tempting bargains to those who will patronize them. In most cases these are genuine humbugs. But there are a few respectable firms who do ba iness in this manner, and they do it as a means of increasing their wholesale business, and not to make money. From such firms, it is true, handsome and valuable articles are procured for a very small sum, and what is more im, portant, no one is ever cheated. Every per son gets good value for his dollar; because as we have stated, it is intended to act as an advertisement to increase their ordinary business. We have seen numbers o prizes sent out in this way by Sherman, W atson t Company, of Nassau Street, N.
