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.

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.

4 FEAKFIL DEcisioN.-The Supreme
Court of Appeals of the State of Virginia
decided, after solemn argument, that a
- woman's--well, we must say it, if we
burst-petticoats do not belong to her,
but to her husband!1
Our in.dignation and amazement at
this bimotal outrage on the most sacred
prerogativ-e of the sex are entirely too
great for utterance. 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.

To THlE DEAD.-The mnovementsin various
localities, for the erection of monuments
to the memory of the Confederate dead
is creditable to the grateful sentimnentc.
of our people ; but in view of the prevail
ing distress among the living, is it not
possible that we may best honor the,
memwories of those who have fallen, by
extending our piesent limited means to
the relief of those they haive left behind ?
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. But

The Cost of a Newspaper.
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

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

discontinued, that were doing a fine busi

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

car, having gone down on some business

by some perzon unknown: a.id -ft tstanding

SAD DEATH OF IMR. W. A. M'CONNE.
-Our cesmmunity was very much
hocked last night, on the arrival of the

~fr. W. A. M1cConnell, a tmercharnt of
his place, had put an end to his life
vile on the way home from Columbia.
~rom the intelligence we have received
>f this sad event, it seems that he ap
eared very niuch- depressed and easily
xcited while on the cars, and requested

DIsTRIBUTIONs.-We would call attention_
to the opinion of one of the leading papers
of Canada on this subject:
Most of our readers have no doubt read
some of the numerous advertisements of
Gift Enterprises. 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. Y.. and
there is no doubt that some of the articles
are worth eight or ten times the money paid
for them, while we have not seen or heard
of a single article which was not worth the
dollar which it cost. ~ But this is only one of
the exceptions of this rule, for as a general
thing the parties engaged in this business
are nothing but clever swindlers.
