The Griffin (Ga.)

The "cede" is very essence of honor, and there have I hundreds of personal differences set by an appeal to it, where there has I one actual meeting under it. It is more than ridiculous for the n ton heads of the country to term "dode'' barbarous, when the highest t\ of gentlemen, the most cultivated, chr rous, relined, ejegant gentlemen the wi ever produced, have lived by it, sandi ed it, and demonstrated that it was most satisfactory way of adjusting d, culties, when ils provisions were propc understood.

Thc tics were great improved and either last year or the ye before there'were forty-two varieties man factured in the Quited States. The cor pany that had purchased the original ii^. sued all of them ? for an infringement their jiatent and gained the cause befo ! the Lnited States Court. All the inven ors had retained the original "slot," tl aperture in the metal by which the tie secured, or some modification of it. & now only one company can make the: tics and they are turned out in immens . quantities. In consequence ties have advanced froi four and five to nine cents.-Columbi Sun. The Nebraska Ku-Klux. OMAHA, NE?., July 17.

A great sensation was caused here to day by the announcement in thc J. .urn.il that one Eliza Webb ?oung, the seven teenth wife of Brigham Young, had for ever left him, carrying off her furniture and personal elie;is.

Thrco more indictments are pending against nina. # Governor Moses and thc Colleton Ga zette. The Colleton Gazette, a Radical news paper, of which Mr. G. F. McIntyre, State Senator from Colleton, is editor and proprietor, bas printed from week to week, for several months past, a series of charges of the gravest kind against the public and private character of the Governor of this State. These charges are strikingly cir cumstantial, arid names, ti des and amounts are given witli what appears ti> be studied carefulness to say nothing that cannot be sustained by irrefragable proof. No notice whatever" hus Lem taken of those charges by Governor Moses himself; nor, to our knowledge, have any of his henchmen taken un the cudgels for him. This, under ordinary circumstances, might pass for the silent contempt,which a pub lic officer, conscious of his purity, treats the slander of his political enemies. Uni Senator McIntyre is as staunch a Radi us! aa Governor Moses is. anti has it least .<? good a character. Nor is Senator Mc Intyre thc only.person who* has assailed the' Executive." Between the Senator from Colleton and Messrs. Corbin and Tomlin son and other Bolting Republicans, in tho canvass of 1S72, the difference is only one of degree. Yet there has not been a word of explanation on the one side, or of re traction on the other. It was not our purposetonoti.ee, at this lime, the onslaughts of the Gazette, but thc statements made about Governor Moses, in its last issue, are so revolting as lo demand instant attention. The charges are too foul to he even hinted at : but this wo may say : if the Colleton Gazette tells the truth. Governor F. J. Moses, Jr.. is the ni st infamous ot public men ; and if the Colleton Gazette does not tell the truth, its editor and proprietor richly deserves a long term in the State/Penitentiary. It is not for us to-say whether McIntyre or Moses is the real criminal. We know nothing more about this thing than we see printed in the 'columns of the Gazette But it is evident that Governor Moses caftnot afford to remain silent. Qnlv his worst enemies would nd vise him to keep his mouth shut in the face of charges in finitely more heinous than those which, alter months of proud reserve, forced a man like Henry Ward Beecher to a public and peremptory denial of their truth. Governor J foses m UM' speak, or be con demned by default. The alternative is not a plea-ant ene; but there it is, and from it there is no escape.-News & Courier, 21st. --. -.^.^ . Sold Out-a Negro Un iiier. ... . ? General Beauregard was once an honor ed General in the Confederate armies. When Cen. Butler was'-occupying New Orleans, insulting the Women of the city, and having them, under his order, spuken of as common courtesans, Beauregard was in command of Confederate soldiers, and was calling upon the -women of "the South to send up their church bells, with which to make cannon-to--slay the insurers of their sisters, and to defend their property and homes. To-day Butler, with all his s'x>uirdrel?sm, is a man more to be respect ed by Southern people than thc degraded ex-'Confederate who recommends, under ad verse surroundings and reports, as Chair man of a committee in New Orleans, a system of social equality that goes further than Sumner's Civil Rights Bill. He ded icates for the future 'himself, and calls upon his fellow-citizens to do the same, to the unification of our people, and by our peo ple, and in the second resolution States that by our people, we mean all men of whatever race, or religion, who are citizens of Louisiana. Unification means making one of different things. ^ curegard would, for the sake of harmony, amalgamate the races, and place them on terms of perfect equality in churches, theatres, on cars, and on steamboats, in cemeteries and at ho tels, in schools and banking houses, in the social circle and at the family fireside, the negro and the white man. This is from General Beauregard, a once honored Gene ral of the Lost Cause, To what base uses do we come ! Ami to-day in Southern cir cles of social respect ability, and through out the world where Caucasian blood flows, the name of Ben. Butler should be re sounded in songs of praise, and Judas Iscariot be considered a high-toned gentle man, before this unifier of negro and white blood should be treated with the courtesy chat wouid be meted out to thc most igno rant ne^ro who tods in our midst.-rSelma (Ala.) Times. Tiie Abbeville Convention. We call special attention to a notice given in'another column of an effort io have Beaut'-rt county represented in a conven; ion to be held on August 13th, at Abbeville, to forward #the construction of a railroad from Anderson to connect with the Pe rt Royal railroad. We are deeply interested in this move ment. We agree with the views express ed by the Edgejicld Advertiser, published iii another column, that this road is cer tain to be built, but we are not sure that our interests will be considered unless we ; c ively aid it [?[rom the be.'inning to the ?.nd. A strong deviation should be se lected and sent to Abbeville on the 13th of August. We ought to be able to pledge a liberal subscription to the stock of such a road. Il will not do for us to sit down content with possessing the only inrood harbor on the coast, and let the peo ple of the country lind it out for them selves. We have what thc West needs, an outlet for her grain and meat, the deepest, the s?test, the nearest possible. But we must lose no opportunity fur ad vertising it. True, it is ? ertain to be util ?zed sometime whether we work or not. But if we dont want to be too old to en joy the benefits we must improve thc present time.-Beaufort Republican. Governor Moses. In another column, this morning, we publish a shocking charge, or rather a se ries of charges, made against the Gover nor of South Carolina by the editor of the Colleton (S. C.) Gazette. The crime? which he is charged with committing are of such a horrible nature that we should hesitate to republish them were it not for the quarter in which they originate. The Gazette is not an opponent of the Repub lican party ; it is neither a rebel nor a Ku-Klux paper. Un the contrary, it is a Radical journal of the most pronounced srripe, and is run in the interest of the dominant party of South Carolina, lt cannot be charged that the article is thc oftspring of political malice or partisan hatred. It is not a traitors onslaught on u loyal man. It is emphatically a family quarrel. But it is also a matter in which all the people of South Carolina are in terested. If it is a falsehood Gov. Moses owes it to himself and lo the position which he occupies to vindicate his charao ter from the foul aspersions of the editor of tho Colleton Gazelle, li it is the truth the people of South Carolina have also a duty to perform. They owe it to them selves and to their State. Powerless at the ballot box, they should appeal to the Criminal Courts.to rid the Executive Chair of so corrupt.and licentious a mon ster.-Chronicle & Sentinel. Suicins.-On Sunday afternoon last, a man, named John W. Settleineyer, com mitted suicide, at his boarding nouse, on Laurel street, by shooting himself with a pistol. He was a steady, indust rious work man-a carpenter-and has been in the employ of tue Charlotte and South Caro Ima Railroad Company in this city and Charlotte for about ten years, ile has, io use the language of a fellow-workman, "been acting strangely for several months;" he imagined that persons were trying to defraud lum of his money ; ii ?s tilso sup posed "that a disappointment ina love altair affected him." Mr. Settlcmeyer arose from the dinner-table, after partak ing of but a slight repast, proceeded to lu- room, fasten^ the door, and shortly afterwards two reports of a pistol were heard. The occupants of the house im mediately proceeded to the room, where they found Mr. S. stretched upon the floor, dead, with a bullet wound in the upper part of the chest, near tho neck. The first shot evidently missed, as a bullet hole was discovered in the partition. Mr. S. bled but little, and his death must have been instantaneous. A naper, in the form of a will, was found on the bed, bequeath ing his property to a young lady in North Carolina, to whom, it is believed, he was sincerely attached. An inquest was held by Coroner Coleman, at which the abova facts were elicited. Mr. S. was, we be lieve, a native of North Carolina, and about thirty years of age,-Columbia Phoenix, 21st, J THE ADVERTISER. Euscheid, S. C., July 21, 18*73. 'The\ Chev.V Cr*ek Tournament. To the lovqps. of nundy sport-and to all sympathizers with youtli, beauly, gaiety and gallantry-the Tournament on Chevis" Creely, fifteen miles beldw us, on Friday last, was of the highest inter est. The healthy mind in th? healthy body should he Hie ideal of i;very young mun, and nowhere more than in tho South just now should this spirit be fostered and encouraged. Tho young men who study Greek Olid Latin have every scholarly inducement to cultivate their bodily strength, if they can only picture to themselves tho competitors in the Olympian janies of winch Pindar has so sweetly Ming. The building np of that muscular and agil? frame and that bold and quick spirit which make a man so self-helpful in his battle with the world, was the motive of all these games, as it should" be with our young men to-day. Tho long training to which tho Greeks subjected their athlets, and the perpetual muscular education which the Romans bestowed on their gladiators, show that this high cultivation of the physical forces is not to bc reached with out care, perseverance and self-denial. Quickness of eye, readiness of hand, lino horsemanship, and a quantum of trained physical forces, will often help out the brain when difficulties accumu late or danger is ahead. Coining to shape in a largo degree thc destinies of a gen eration, our young mon will find Nemean lions, Lernean hydras ?md Erymanthian boars in their path, which mere book ac quirements will never master. Tho South is ours, young men, and we need every manly quality of hand, head and heart to make it again, as it once was, the prosperous-homo of a groat and free people. And now, sinco the dog-days aro upon us, and politics arc in a lull, and local newspaper matter is scarce, let us give a running account, citrrenlecularuo, of our jaunt (jerk would lie a better naino !) to" the Chevis' Creek Tournament. . On Thursday afternoon, driven by our generous and happy-go-lightly friend, Capt. George Lake, in his four-seated Life Insurance ark, and accompanied by a keen and stalwart young lawyer of our community, wo jerked out of town in a tumultuous manner, round thc Ryan Hotel corner, bound for "Fairview," thc elcgantandhospitablediomeof Dr. James A. Devoro. In that ark, of course, were three clean shirts, three clean lawn cra vats, and threo pair of lavender, pants, for the morrow's conflict. On the hill above thc Beaver Dam, wo began to look and to talk colton. Of one or two fields just here, Capt. L. dryly remarked, " It would be well to cover that cotton with pine bark, and turn in tho cattl? to graze." And truly from this pojnt to Dr. Devore's pretty much the same thing might have been said. Had wo not seen the cotton along this road with our own eyes, we could not have been made to believe how unpromising it is. And of corn we can scarcely giveabetter report. Arrived at our destination, and ushered into the beautiful parlor of "Fairview," we were examing some beautiful bronzes of Goethe, Shakspeare, Dante and Tasso, when our bluff but hearty-welcoming host strode in, and immediately over came the great poets with an energetic discourse upon "crops," and "weather," and "grass," and "wages-hands," and .'tenants," and niggers, and cotton do ings generally. Wu were equally amused and edified. And as Dr. Devoro is one of Hie groat representative planters of our County, it will be perhaps a matter of general interest (and of comfort to those whose misery likes prominentcompany; to know that he announces his crop as the poorest he ever had in his life, and seems discouraged with thc "labor" and with the "times." In fayt he vows that lie will plant no longer-not even one season more. And now if we do wrong i (as perhaps WO doj in making tho Doc tor's views tims public, he is good with los pen, as with his tongues, and can soon set ?is straight. After a pleasant evening with this family of uncommon mental culture and decided originality of thought and char acter, and a peaceful night amid luxury and refined hospitality, wo drew o?our clean shirts, anti girding 'our loins in lavender, started for the battle field. And oh! what a trip! What roads! What lengthy miles ! What a sun ! What ghastly cotton ! What grinning and rat tling corn stalks ! The sun drank our blood, tho roads broke our bones, tho crops caused us to weep, and when we stopped to got a drink of cool water, hull dogs ate tl?e flesh oil* our legs ! It was horrible, awful, delightful! At Mrs. Col. Lanham**, at old Mr. Lanham's, at Mrs. Boswell's, at Dr Patterson's, at M iv Adams's, wc begged tobo putout Lo die. But tho young lawyer, with all the freshness ol* three and twenty-and a.sweetheart at thc tournament-restrain ed us, exhorting us to exhibit moro " bottom" and to hold out to the end. And at eleven A. M., tho end came or rather the beginning of the end. At this hour a vast, unshaded, and abnor mally festive cotton field broke upon our view. We traveled not a foot further made no further explorations-but we shall ever believe that this same field was only a stone's throw from ."Schultz's HM. At the entrance gate of tins field stood a huge clump of thick-leaved trees. Un der these were gathered tho gallant Sa breurs, making ready for tho lilt-some already mounted-some still straggling -all young, brave, excited. From this point, across the field to a beautifully shaded hill-side opposite, some quarter of a mile, ran a road, linn, straight asan arrow, and level as a die. This was the tournament track. Midway stood the Judges' stand-a close and cool brush arbor. Upon this stand sat the officials of thc Club, as judges of thc exercises President Gary, vice-Presidents Glover, Clisby and Tompkins, Secretary Penn, and so um others. On either side of the track, for several hundred yards, stood countless vehicles-and handsome ones -laden with ladies ol' all ages and stylos -those "in dower of youth and beauty's prime" being much in the ascendant, in some of those carriages wo noted many elderly ladies of good old names, who, we know, very seldom appear in public now-a-days. The gallantries and gaieties ol' youth, however, never lox; their charm for grandmothers, mothers and aunts of genial heart. Tho young ladies, unmarried and married, wore elegantly and fashionably dressed, and the llutter of parasols, veils, scarfs and sashes gave brilliant animation to tho picture. And, apropos, how beautiful is the change in the adornment of tho fe male hoad-how pleasant to the artistic pye to got tho huge bump from tho nape of tho neck to tho summit of Uio crani um. Ami in what a tyrannical light fashion makes us view tilings! For in stance, what, now-a-days, looks so in decent and mutilated as a plain, smooth head? But we stray. In and out among, tho carriages and buggies stray courteous and well-dress ed gentlemen. And there was a prodi gious amount of sly but eminently prop er flirtation-if flirtation can ever be said to rise to the sphere of propriety. And far ami wide over the fi old are stragglers of all colors, ages and sizes. And tho hill-side grove swarms with pits, and cooks and carcasses, with Ares, and forks and ftimes-and with melon carts and little negroes innumerable. Sheep and oxen, and swine hang upon spits over tho red-hot coals ; hash, onion sauce, ; tatoos and tomatoes simmer in hi pots ; while lordly covered baskets, wh contents the eye of faith can easily f cprn, are j palo u sly guarded by dignif colored ladies. The odor is intoxieati -maddening ! It is only ll o'clnck,.a for 3 mortal hours yet, you aro to b stranger to this commonwealth of g< tilings. But the Tilt! Twenty riders. Three rounds. Oe pying abtrat three hours; passing brilliantly, harmoniously and with) mishap; and viewed by tlie assenib multitude with kindliest, interest o keenest enjoyment. The riding, despite tho heat, so elici ting to man and beast, was decidedly li and'tho skill in sabre exercise most i m i rabi c. Besides the winners of l prizes, we noticed several young n whose riding and exercise excited t great admiration-Mr. Frank Bo: tis, J Stephen Hughes, Mr. W. J. Kiiiard, 3 S. B. Mays, Mr. W. F. Boper, and 2 R. M. Gardner. Mr. J. A. Butler's 1 ride, in which he made .15 points, \ don e w i th a kn igh t ly grace an d d as h w h was beautiful to bell old. And tho tilt ^eirig over, Presid? Gary summons tho Club to appear i: body before the Stand, and an non iv the result. Mr. B S. Rambo and 3 John Atkins have, each, made 40 poll and must consequently ride again to ( eide which shall uike the first prize. 3 G. A. Adams and Mr. J. A. Butler ha each, made J>'J points, and must ri again for final decision. And now-excitement at its climax the four knights retire to tho start! point. Of tho first couple, Mr. Atki rides first. He shoots through like arrow and makes 16-tho* utmost! 3 Rambo follows, and makes 11$; In tho remaining contest. Mr. But makes 10. and Mr. Adams, SI. ?Mr. Atkins is victor, and receives! first prize, and tho white plume. T prize is a heavy and valuable sih basket. Mr. Rambo receives tho seco prize-a silver waiter and goblet. 3 Butler receive^ the third prize-a sih castor. Mr. Adams receives thc foin prize-a silver goblet. The prizes ? all decidedly handsome. President Ga delivers them with very tasteful exp? ?ions of commendation-and sly wor of humor that excito much mcrrimei Tho Club give three cheers for tho wi ning knights, and three more for thc President; and then Sabrenrs and ci zens, matrons and maidens, old ai young, black and white (wc had altn< said "bond and free." Bah!) rush o higgledy-piggledy, pell mell, tooV/mo to dance. Dinner and dance ! Glorioi words both ! What shall we say about tho dinne: As to the old hackneyed phrase oft! "tables groaning," and all that sort thing, we reject it with scorn. And st: v>0 are a loss for words. There was bei and mutton, and shoat, and poultry, ai hashes, and sauces, aud vegetables, at pastry, and cake, and fruit, and nie! nacks, and iced lemonade, until no roo was found for them to lie upon. Tru we have nover seen more magnifie? hospitality than this. Horn's Creek great in this lino, but Chevis' Creek is shall we'say it?-can wo say it? N( The two creeks on this occasion emphat cally ran together. The dance platform was quito und< tho hill, with running streams around and impenetrable green shade abov The band was from Augusta, and uni Slially good. Ju fact such good and sue inspiriting dance music wo liare n< heard for a long time. And upon tili platform skipped merrily dozens an dozens ol' those bright and buoyant adc lescents of both sexes in whom passio has just begun to put forth its first grce sprouts, and to whom all tlie world i fairy hu 'J. And until night-fall did the, cha.i'i 'ian boqrs thus. And then ailene fell agam-'upon thesp old woods am fields. Hut think not the joy and the dane ceased entirely. Under thc hospltabl roof of Lil ul. M. O. Glover it was kep Up ah night-Mid all-in fact until m one any lunger had legs that would sup port them. With our companions, however (b* this time wo had picked up anothe youth of twenty-three, also willi a sweet heart.) we retired from the scene at 5 P M., and turned our horses beads toward; that house which is a joy and a boon ti all gay and li^ht hearted peuple, to al musical people, to all dancing people, t< all singing people, to all people who cai appreciate the bright side of life-Mr John* Rai oslo rd's. And what a nigh and morning did that breezy and gen orous country mansion then and then experience-filled with youth, and beau, ty, and music, and song, and the dance Imagine the whole upper door-foin spacious chambers-given up loton head of men, most ol' them young, handsome and tippy! While beauty slept below And love above and below, waked, and watched, and, perhaps; wept! Whc knows? It was delightful-very ! Wt love such places, and such peoplo, and sucli company. And now wo close our sketch of thc bright and pleasant Chev's' Creek Tour nament. But no ; one word more. The hospitality, the liberality, tho taste, the energy, of Lient. M. O. Glover (and ol his beautiful huh-) whoso premises were the scene of action, and who, in short, was tiie leading spirit of the festival, all deserve thc kindest appreciation and re membrance of thc Palmetto Sabre Club-and of all who enjoyed the occa sion. And who did not? Hon. I-. T. Wigfall. But little ?ms been heard of this gen tleman since tlie war. He is now resi ding in Baltimore; and was present in that city on the 17th ult., and attended the floral decoration of Confederates on that day at Loudon Park Cemetery, and made a short speech on that occasion. The Baltimore Gazette reports him as follows: General Wigfall being called for ap peared and said Iiis heart was almost too full to speak. It was gratifying to him to know that If tho cause is lost, the spirit which maintained it still lives. (Applause.] There is something more in this world than mere material pros perity. I:: our hearts lhere is a feeling nf wounded honor, and "truth, though crushed to earth, will rise again." He did not cry, "Peace, peace, when there was no peace." Ho accepted tho situa tion, but even if the manacles that fet tered bim were gilded, they would gall. He was opposed to all sentimentality considering tliis subject. General Wig fall here entered upon an argument tn prove that the Southern States had a right lo secede, but was interrupted by announcement that the subscription com? mitteewas ready to report tho result of their labors, ile closed by remarking that as ho had been interrupted, he pre sumed that his sentiments were not eon curred ?II by all of tliQse present, and retired amid laughter and applause. ? <i?ii-?-. l'ruuiotiuiis and Appointments in the S.

M., stating that your community proposed projecting cither a " Narrow Guage," or "Wooden Railway" to tho Pine Hernie, ar.d asking my views as to tho most practicable road for your adoption, I will give you very hurriedly sollie general comparisons between ?liosse two cheap systems of Roads, and which, to suit your ease, aro only questions of cont /or Construction and Durability. The practicability of "Narrow Gange*' Railways has long since been established .beyond all doubt, by tho "even/ Jay workings" of these Roads in Russia, England, Canada, and the States of Now York, Connecticut, California, Texas, Alabama, cte (Forargunient, compari sons, and statistics, I refer you to my Pamphlet on Narrow Gauge, which I enclose.) A "Narrow- Gange'' Road of | 3 feet 6 inch gauge (whioh is the gauge I advocate for general traille, and wherein you gain cheapness of construction and equipment, without the loss of capacity) with a rail weighing thirty (."Oj pounds to the yard and a maximum grado of j ninety (90) feet to tho milo, can bo built through your section of country for about Fifty-Five Hundred Dollars (."'5, 500) per mile, and give voua Road, whicH to do more wolli, would last longer ?han any seven (7) miles on tho C. C. it A. R. R., or any other broad road in the coun try, nod coat lcs3to maintain for ten .;!0) years linn even a.Wooden Railway? Should you nS&rnVmeto build a '.Vend en R'>ad. your policy would bc to adopt a ". feet Gindi gnurra, which cwt* so much less to build, equip, and operate, than thc Broad Road,,and as there is no ad vantage in your conforming to tf io irauge of C. <J. & A. R. H., when your car wheels on the wooden rails have lo hnvo rt (Much tuce, while theirs have only a .I1 inch face, and if they could nf on your wooden track at all, would -.mai cut it into shreds. So io com paring the cost and workings of an Iron and Wooden Road for your roule, I will make the gauge the saut*. To build a Wooden Road of tl feet fl inch gauge, with a rail 4 x .*?, and a maxi mum grade of ninety (tH)) feet lo the mile, through your section of country would cost .about Twenty Eight llu'o. dred Dollars (2,800) per mile. The ac tion of tho sun on these wooden rails causing them to crack and warp, thc iinpo-sibiltty of keeping the shrinking timber tightly koj-ed, and the rapidity with which they wear after once com mencing to scale, ron il ors thc expense and perplexities of krepimr the road np to a lively business, too great to bc relia ble, or remunerative. In fad, the histo ry of all Wooden Roails, of my knowl edge, has proven cither their total fail ure, or conversion to Iron Roads. In the coal mining districts, where these woodoo rails were largely used, it luis been found necessary to substitute iron, and on tho Tacoi . Woodon Railway of | Florida, running from Tacoi to St. Au gustine, where the best pine timber in the world is most abundant, the Compa ny has been forced to adopt lion Rails. Respectfully, W. T.

All in search of headb and iill seem cheerful and hopeful of success in their pursuit. Our liolei piazza is in full view of the mountains. * The breeze delightful. I wcut.to.bed last night, with cold feet and slept arder winter covering. Can scarce ly realize that it is near'tho middle of July. People seem to bo travelling in every direction, among and over tho moun tains Wo propose a trip across the mountains next week. I learn that these mountaineers are constantly on tho look out for revenue officers. Indeed, one was killed a little above this a few days ago. Report says you can scarcely travel a mile without coming across gold pits. Tlicy aro all over the country in places. I have seen .some mills in operation. Approaching Dahlonega in tho evening, we saw men coming out of tho branches in every direction from their work. The branches aro kept cleaned out by tho miners. It looks to mo like a slow busi ness, and I am told that but few succeed. You remember that the U. S. Mint was at Dahlonega up to the "war. Tho prop erty, a large building, has been given by Congress to the North Georgia Agricul tural College, and is, now used for educa tional purposes, with near two hundred scholars. We happened there on their commencement occasion. A goodly number of visitors were present. The editor.of tho local paper has promised mo a report of tho school, which I will try and send you. Dahlonega was once a flourishing vil lace, bnt like our Edgefield is kept to gether now only hy being tho County seat. The Air line running not nearer than 25 miles. Not a particle of appear ance of improvement visble. Everything seems dilapidated. I am told that the Air Line will be running through in a few days. We hope to return on it via Greenville, S. C. This will'he a great thoroughfare ; our own C. C cfc A. R. R. will feel its effect. The crops from Augusta to Atlanta seem yosry poor. Worse if possible than our cwn. The cotton made along that route can not be remunerating nt less than thirty cents per pound-and the corn must bring$2 per bushel. Without these prices some one must lose money. H. T. W.
