WITH THE WIND?FRO? NEW YORK TO NEW ORLEANS. The Enterprise of the Postal Service, by tvhlch the Knickerbocker and the Creole are Brought Closer Together?Letters Delivered Before the Stamps are Dry. From the Atlanta Constitution. Through to New York by the fast mail! And I find the utmost interest felt in New York over the results of this last experiment. The Herald of yesterday has an editorial claiming that the toast for the South should be, "Fast mails slow politics;" and on the day before bad bulletins from every point along the line, noting the arrival of the south-bound train and the more or less excitement that it created. It is really a miracle of fast travel and expeditious service. From New York to Atlanta in 29 hours; or accounting the difference -of time between the two joints, in 28i hours. A history of the manner in which this is done will be in? teresting to the readers of the Herald. And here it is: The fast mail traiu for the south is made up in New York at 4.00 in the morning, and at 4.35 is at the depot in Jersey City, waiting for ita precious freight. From half a dozen converging streets to Courtland and DeBosses ferries, came huge mail-wngon,s loaded down with letters and newspaper, hurrying through the dark to catch the 4.15 boats. Once across the ferry they are bundled into the mail cars, and exactly at the mo? ment, the fast mail whisks out of the de? pot. THE MAKE UP OF THE MAIL. The mail that is loaded on this train is made up of the morning newspaper that before this train was put, on left on the 10.30 train. It is made up of all letters intended for the South written in New York the night before, and posted at , any time before midnight. This mail, it will be remembered, formerly left New York at 10.30 a. m., and reached Atlan? ta two days afterward. The mail is a heavy one, holding nearly all the buiness letters written in the city for the south. It is fed also by a close connection with the Boston and eastern mail, which has heretofore had to lie over in New York for several hours. THE MAKE IT OF THE TRAIN. Tbc train is at present made up as a "flyer." The engine is one of the largest and swiftest of the Pennsylvania road, and is coupled to the mail car, there be? ing no baggage or express. There are two mail cars on the traiu .13 it, starts from New York, but one is left at Wash? ington. Back of the two mail cars is one passenger coach rather slimly filled, as the public is not yet accustomed to the fast mail service. The mail cars are of the latest style, and fitted up with every convenience for the prompt assortment commence their work the moment the of letters and papers. The mail clerks mail is handed into them, and keep at it as the train is whirling along until the last package is fixed in its place and ev? ery letter is properly assorted. It is intended, in a few weeks, to put a simper on the line, omitting possibly the pas .enger coach, in which case the fast mail will prove the most popular line on the road. At present the train is a trim and jointy skeleton and rushes out of the depot into the night at a ter? rible speed. HOW THli JOURNEY IS MADE. And yet the speed is not at all danger? ous, and is hardly unusual. The secret of the short time is in the nice adjustment of connections, the shortness of the route selected, and the avoidance of frequent stoppages for locul mail or traffic. Let us take the schedule and run it through. From New York to Washington is 226 miles. This .pace is coveted by the double-tracks, steel rails on the Pennsyl? vania road, the P. W. and B., and B. & P., on which accidents are almost literal ly unknown. The 22G miles are made in a trifle over six hours or about 34 miles an hour?very moderate running? when the engines used on these roads cau pull a train 50 miles an hour without a strain. The regular schedule of the dai? ly limited express is about the same ns the fast mail schedule, between New York and Washington, and there is no more delightful or popular riding than on this same limited express. From Washington to Richmond, the Frederickburg and Potomac railroad is put in use. The distance between these points is 116 miles. The two cars of the fast mail are swung to a fresh engine, and are bowled over smooth and well ballas? ted tracks in short order, making the 116 miles in four hours?thus giving the fast mail a rate of speed equal to twenty eight miles an hour, on the first, southern stage of its journey. This is surely not break-neck speed. There is hardly a road in the South on which it is not often beaten, by trains that are behind, "spirting" to make connection. There is little danger of trouble on the Rich? mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac road, and less danger of missing connections. When the fast mail reaches Richmond it has the longest stage of its journey ahead of it. From Richmond to Danville is 282 miles, and order to briug the mail in on time, this distance has to be made in 10.50 minutes. This is a trifle less than 28 miles an hour, but \l h a long and laborious run. The engines devoted to the mail traiu are, however, all that could be. desired, and they whirl away with the handful of airs, licking up a mile every two minutes as regularly as theolock tel Is off the seconds of time. The track is ballasted all right?the cars are strong and reliable?the way is clear, and everything moves as if fed from steel springs. The attention of some of the best railroad men in the country is con? centrated on this "Flying Dutchman" of a train as it dashes down the slopes of Virginia, flashes over the plains of North Carolina?and the reputation of an unsurpassed corps of managers is pledged to the promise that it shall bring up in Charlotte on time with its precious freightage. So that vre may count ou the R. & D. road as a safe stage of the journoy. At Uharlotte, the cars, which have scarcely had time to catch a breath since they were pulled out of the shed at Jer? sey City, and have incite meantime bare? ly seen the sun rise and set, though they have swept through five great States and covered 600 miles, are taken in hand by our own Air Line for the final pull to Atlanta. This fast stage of the jourucy measures 269 miles, and traverses the most weired scenery to be seen in tbo like number of miles anywhere perhaps ou the continent. When we get the train to Charlotte we almost feel that we have it safe in Atlanta?although the distance of 269 miles must be covered in nine hours?a run of 30 miles an hour. Fred Krogg has pulled his train through, while Phill Simms held the bell-rope in less time than that?aud then never "turned a hair" on his locomotive. There are other men on the road that can do just as well, and the mail will seldom miss on the Air Line end of the trip. You may be sure, though, that it is an invigorating ride through these North Georgia mountains, on whose brow3 the cascades hang like bridal veils and whose hazy forests the morning sun lights with glory. We warrant that the traveler will find nowhere a four hours' ride like that from G oMock in the morn? ing on this route until the train has passed Norcross and puffs into Atlanta. Through such scenery as was never sur? passed?fresh, wiid and delicious?all aglow with the nwiness of dawn and dewy with the tears of night?the dash through this region could be nothing but joy and exhilaration. After having made this last stage we see the miracle of a train in Atlanta 23A houra after it left New York ?having stopped probably fifty time?, gjveq passengers time for wayside meals?and yet having preserved an average of about 30 miles and hour for 893 miles?and yet never run a mile at a rate that could be considered dangerous by the most con? servative. The whole secret of the trip rests in the fact thr.t there is logic at both ends of the line, and order all through the route?binding the trains together, keeping everything adjusted, moving everything ou the stroke, losing no time, but husbanding every tick of the clock. The problem is a simple one, and yet the result is a mighty one. The train must cover a mile every two minutes from the time it leaves New York till it stops in Atlanta. This is easy enough to do, for trains are often run a mile in one minute for mere sport, and yet the steady work of telling off a milo every two minute?ouly elev? en seconds faster than a horse has trotted it, and twenty seconds slower than a score of horses have run it?this steady work makes up the total of 893 miles in 28J hours?and gives Atlanta a miracle in the way of transportation. the pratical benefits OV this. But we may be asked what beuefit At lrnta gets from all this. The reply is simple. It has beeu said that Atlanta could have afforded to have sunk the $300,000 she lost on the Air Line, for the good that road did the city the first year it run through. We say that Atlanta could easily have afforded to have lost twice that sum for the single boom of this fast mail train. We now get the papers from New York the day after they are published. That is, the Sunday papers are brought into Atlanta at 11.55 on Monday night, so that we get them ou Tuesday's morn? ing. We get the papers the morning after they are printed?that is, Sunday's Herald is ou sale in Atlanta on Monday morning at 9.30. so there is just a day saved. A letter is now written in New York City, on, say Saturday night. It leaves New York Sunday morning and reaches Atlanta Monday night at 11.55 and can be delivered in Atlanta by Tuesday's mail. Under the fast mail it will be de? livered in Atlanta by Monday morning's mail at 10 o'clock. So there is a day saved. . The advantages are just as apparent for mails coming nothward. All bank? ers and business men know what a terri? ble rush it has always beeu to get off their day's mail on the 3o'clock train. Indeed the banks are often virtually a day's bus? iness behind with New York. This mail can uow be prepared leisurely and placed j on the 8.20 train at night?when it will reach Washington and New York just as soon as if put on the ? o'clock train. This is virtually a day saved. Of course it is the same with passengers as with letters. By taking this fast mail from 7 to 10 hours can saved, which is virtually a day's work. The advantages of the fast mail are so obvious that they do not med discussi n. the 31 en who gave us the fast mail. It is only just that we should know the men to whom we are indebted for this fast mail. Out of the large appropria? tion made for fast mails, Atlanta is the only southern city that gets the benefit of a really fast schedule, such as the great cities of the north and west have. Colonel Foreacre and Colouel Hous? ton, of the Air-Line road, and Colonel Pope, of the Atlantic Coast Line, have been persistent in their efforts to get a fast mail line established for the past several years. They have worked to this one end, in season and out of season. They have shortened up their schedules, quickened their time, and in every way tried to tempt the authorities to put on a fast mail. At length they succeeded in interest? ing Mr. W. B. Thompson, manager of railway mail service, and Mr. Terrell, the efficient superintendent of mail ser? vice statioued in Atlanta. These gen? tlemen went to work in the matter, and after repeated trials succeeded in getting what was needed. The result of the experiment has excited much interest, and ex-Postmaster General Key with Mr. Terrell went over the route with the first fast truin to see how it would work. And now what of the future? When will this fast mail be considered slow? Under the present arrangement it could be shortened three hours. But we read that two engines have just been made for Colouel Roberts, of Pennsylvania, that have run 60 miles an hour easily, and go 150 miles without stopping. * One of these engines could run from New York to Atlanta in 12 hours with all ease. When shall we leave New York at breakfast and take early supper in At? lanta? Genuine Southern Sentiment.?In an interview with the correspondent of a Northern newspaper. Governor Marks, of Tennessee, is reported to have used the following language: "I was in the Confederate service as Colonel, and I accept the results of the war without reserve. I believe an over? whelming majority or the people down here feel as I do. The Northern people do not understand us. They think we are ripe for secession still. What possi? ble interest could we have in seceding now ? W'c went out of the Union be? cause we wanted the worth of our slaves in our own way. We believed then that slavery could not flourish unless we se? ceded. Let us be frank. We did secede and got the worst of it by a large major? ity. What, in God's name, have we to make us think of secession under our altered circumstances? We have nothing to secede for since slavery was abolished, which I am hear? tily glad of, and we are much better off within the Union, where we belong, than we would be outside of it, where we do not belong. Recognizing this fact, it looks absurd to Southern people to be charged with entertaining secession sen? timents. The people of the North must certainly think, if they are in earnest about that, that we are a pack of simple? tons or worse. We do believe that the Government is now sufficiently central? ized, and that any further steps in that direction would be fraught with danger to American liberty. Many Republicans hold the same belief, and certainly there can be nothing disloyal in that." ? After disappearing from public gaze for severel months Keely, the motor man, comes to the surface again. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Keely Motor Company was held in Philadelphia on Wednesday, and 72,843 out of S4.00 shares of stock were represented. A res? olution was adopted declaring that Mr. Keely has developed a new motive pow? er of extraordinary energy; that the gen? erator for the development of the power is a perfect machine; that the vibratory engine for its utilization has progressed to that extent as to have demonstrated that heis master of the situation and will succeed at an early date in utilizing as a motive power of great value the new force so discovered and applied by him, and that nothing now remains but me [ chanical details connected with his en? gine, which the stockholders have every confidence he will at an early day have under his entire control. ? Though few people can believe se? riously in the possibility of tunnelling under the sea for a railway from England to France, the Southeastern Railway Company in England have been boring away for several weeks at Dover. They are now tunnelling a gallery under the sea through the chalk beds, and the work is to be continued for a year. ? Wm. R. Woods, Ohio Republican carpet-bagger, and Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit, is, it is said, to replace Justice Strong, who has resigned from the Supremo Bench, as a "Southern mail'." ENSLAVING A WHITE GIRL. Enchanted by the Strains of a Violin, Sl:<> Revelations seem to be the order of the day. Memphis enjoys an enviable repu? tation as the hot-bed of sensations of a kind peculiarly her own. The latest de? velopment has caused a considerable local excitement. The hero is a negro of th .t shade of darkness that he might be felt? as black as a black felt hat, in other words; and the heroine is of that scintil? lating pink and white complexion go often the theme of the poet's dream.? Yesterday morning the writer, while in the Criminal Court room, observed a negro man on trial for assault and batte? ry upon a white woman, and learning she hud a remarkable story to relate, suc? ceeded in interviewing her, and was well repaid for bis trouble. Her name, Bhe said, was Annie Ray, and her age 24. In person she is tall and well made, fuir haired and blue-eyed, and was originally iutended for a pretty wo? man, but hard usage and coarse associa? tions had served to mar the effect. Her language, accent and mariner was that of the typical Southern darkey, presenting a contrast with ber personal appearance and fair complexion that was startling iu itself. She had lived with the negro J4 years, and when asked who her parents were said her mother's name was Alea thea Ray, and up to her tenth year she lived with her parents, near Aberdeen, Mississippi. When about that ago there came through the country a strolling negro fiddler. He stopped one night at her father's residence, sleeping in a little room back of the house, from which strains of music?which he well under? stood how to produce from his instru? ment?issued during nearly the entire night. She had never in her few years of life been outside of her father's farm, and this was her first experience in the realm of melody. All night she lay awake, enchanted and in a half ecstatic state, and as soon as the first rays of the morning sun peeped tbiough her window arose, and, dressing quickly, made ber way to the musician's cabin and begged him to play for her. He did so, relating to her meanwhile the secrets of the mysterious outside world. How beautiful and bright everything was beyond the distant horizon?a world of song-birds aud sweet music. She listened enraptured, and his ofTera to take her with him and his violin fell upon a willing ear. Before the sun was fairly above the tree tops they were on their way. They traveled steadily for days and days, taking by-paths and sleep? ing in deserted outhouses. They finally arrived in Memphis, where he established her in a hut on Alabama street, in the Northern portion of the city. Here he built a strong wait and locked his gate 1 upon all comers. He established her as his slave and jealously guarded her from the prying eyes of the outside world. Before she reached her twelfth year she was subjected to his loathsome em? braces. Her life, her health and her happiness were all wrecked in one black moment by the destroyer. Yet she lived on in utter ignorance of the outside world, pining and languish? ing for the unknown. Her only associ? ates were a few negroes, and the only place to which she was allowed to go was a negro place of worship. Unlettered, unknown aud uncared for by the busy throng who hurried past her lonely pris on, she remained the slave of this foul tyrant. The shrill voice of the steam whistle, the rumble of the engine and the sound of the school bell roused in her no gleam of intelligence. She knew absolutely nothing. She was not even seusible to the horror of her situation. Some idea of it was awakeued, however, by his own guilty conscience and his fears of her escape, which dicta? ted the most blood-curdling threats of what he would do if she attempted to escape, or if she left the house without his knowledge and consent. Her escape, however, was made at last. She concluded to set him at defiance, and one night when he accidentally left the gate unlocked, fled from the house. The first person she met was a negro girl about her own age, to whom she told her story and asked protection. The girl, by name America Mitchell, recognized her at once as the niece of her former mis? tress, and, startled by her story, went with her to her prison to demand an ex? planation. When they reached the gate it was locked, but her destroyer rushed out and, clutching her by the throat, ivas in the act of striking a dagger to her heart, wbeu the young negro girl clutched his arm aud saved her life, arousing the neighbors by her screams before he could do more. She has since been living with her new-found friend, but always in deadly fear of her life. A few days since she applied for and received a warrant for assault and battery against Zack Sey? mour, her seducer. He was found at work in a confectionery, where he has been employed for eleven years, and ar? rested. He is now on trial in the courts. In an iuterview with him he denied every point of her story in toto except he had lived with her as his mistress. He is about 55 years of age, medium stature, stoop shouldered, woolly head, sloping forehead, projecting mouth, heavy lip*, large yellow teeth and as black as the ace of spades. The trial is creating considerable inter? est in and around the city. Her story, incredible as it sounds, is sustained by a deep earnestness of manner and by other proofs that seem iucontestible.? Cincin? nati Times-Star. A Silent Partner. Old Dabbs and Jim Carter, two color? ed men, having grown tired of farming, came to this city and opened n kind of grocery store. Dabbs was a shrewd, bow-legged man, with broad feet, and with a nose shaped like the half of a pear. Carter was young and inexperienced. After the sioak had been purchased, Dabbs remarked: "Carter, J'se de oldest. In dis case hit's naiscssary fur yer to be the jungier podner." "All right," said Carter. "I don't keer what my name is, but I wants half de money what come in ober de coun? ter." "Dnt's a lack, Carter; yer'll make a sharp business man. Dar's a lot ob nig? gers gut dar eyes on dis sto', but we'll foid 'cm. Carter docs yer owe any debts in dis wtirl ?" "Lemme see; yes, 1 owes a man fur a saddle-blanket." "How long hab you owed him ?"

"Sign de paper." The two men signed the instrument and called in witnesses. Nest morning Dabbs came down to the store early, and when Carter arrived all the witnesses were sitting hi the store-room. "Good morning, Dabbs, said Carter. Dabbs didn't say anything, and contin? ued : " Why de deuce doesn't yer speak ter me?" "De sto's all mine/' said Dabbs, rising and turning to the witnesses. "How's dat!'' asked Carter. "Case yer's no longer a silent podncr. Yer's talking. When a man talks he's I not silent. "Yer'il please lebe my sto', Carter, an' go off down in the country.

A Donkey's Head on u Mini's Body?A Strange Case of Malformation. At No. 785 Freeman avenue, a couple of doors above Bank street, there resides, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, an aged and respectable German and his wife, who make a living by keeping a family grocery and provision store. The hus? band's name is Philip Volz. Mr. Voly. is a large, fleshy, good nalured, honest, temperate German, who is content to mind his own business and deal out to his customers all the commodities usual? ly found in a grocery and meat store, save cigars, tobacco, and liquor. His wife is a kind, pleasant old lady?probably sixtv ?and the people of the neighborhood call her "grandmother." She is very neat and clean in her appearance, ami is one of those sensible bodies people like to talk to, either on bu?iness or merely for pleasure. This good couple are (he parent;, of one of the most wonderful specimens of hu? manity that the world ever saw, anil cer? tainly the most wonderful ever known to exist in Cincinnati. It is a man having the head of a donkey on his shoulders. It almost always happens that monstrosi? ties born of either women or animals die shortly after birth, if born alive at ali, but this is an exception to the rule, for the subject of this article is alive now, and is thirty years old. The name of the unfortunate creature is George Volz. When visited by our reporter, says the Enquirer, the cripple stared at him in an unpleasant way, and began to kick vio? lently, as though he^were Irving to gel at the stranger, the while his hands, or what corresponded to a human being's hands, pounded each other with frightful rapid? ity and apparent viciousncss. The re? porter finally became sufficiently at ease to make a close observation, and he saw that the face of the cripple was as near the shape of a donkey as could be, the only feature tluit at all approached the shape of the genus homo boing the nose. This was noticed to be more prominent than that of a genuine specimen of the donkey, but the outline was exactly the same. The mouth could not be told from a donkey's, and when it came to observ? ing the upper part of the face and the head, the resemblance was exact. The head is very large and nearly square like the donkey's. It is covered with coarse black hair, as stiff and straight as ever seen on the animal referred to. The eyes arcthe eyes of a donkey to pertection ; but the most perfect resemblance to the animal arc the ears. They stand straight up and lun out to a sharp peak, in the exact shape of the cars of the donkey. The expression?the lower portion of the face?is covered with a short growth of hair, which is sheared by the mother at regular intervals. The body of the crip? ple is also covered with a growth of long, stiff, coarse hair. The reporter, noticing the fact that the upper part of the head between the cars was much larger than the lower part, at first thought this was due to the growth of hair. In order to satisfy himself on this point he advanced toward George to place his hands upon his head. As soon as he got within range he received a cou? ple of vicious kicks from one of the monster's feet. Mrs. Volz also advanced at the same time and she also was kicked. The reporter, however, succeeded in get? ting his hands on George's head and found that the shape noticed was the shape of the slrill and was not caused by the hair. t. i of the hairs grow up? ward. As the visitor stood looking at the object before him, it kept swinging its head from side to side, and the ex? pression of the face was precisely that of the donkey. George cannot talk at all. He makes no sound that approaches to the human speech. George's mother informed the reporter that he had sufficient intelligence to com prebend enough to have his want's sup? plied, which were few. lie expressed a wish for a drink or some!hing to cat by signs. George's hands were mentioned above. There are really no hands, but the stumps of three or four fingers in the aggregate arc attached to what would be the hands if he were a perfectly formed human being. The shoulders are very narrow and the spinal column is not sufficiently strong to. enable George to stand up long at a time. He crawl-1 ". lieu he wishes to move about. One oi his legs is that of a human, but the other is shapeless. George is powerless to wag his ears. He eats the ordinary food that is served on the table. Mrs. Volz stated his appetite was good, usually, and that he was alloted a place at the family board. Sometimes he refused to eat the substantial food of an every day meal, and he was then fed on cake or some other delicacy. ?
