WITH THE WIND-FROM NEW YORK TO KEW ORLEANS. The Ku tci y Hf / of tho Postal Service, hy which the Knickerbocker ?ind tho Creole aro Brought Closer Together-I^ ttt m Delivered Before the Stamps aro Dry. /.reid thc Atlanta Conilitutto?, Through to New York by the fast mail ! And I find the utmost interest felt (ti Xcw York over tho results of this last experiment. Thc JJcrald of yesterday has an editorial claiming that tho toast for the South should be, "Fast mails slow politics ;" ami on tho day before had bulletins from every point along the line, noting ibc arrival of tue south-bound train and thc more or less excitement that it created. It is really a miracle of fast travel and expeditiousnervice. From New York to Atlanta in 2D hour?; or accounting tho difTerenco of timo between tho two points, in 28} hours. A history of the manner in winch this is done will bc in teresting to the readers of the Herald. And here it ?B : The fast mail train for the HOIIMJ is made up in New York at -1.00 in the morning, and at 4.85 is at tho depot in Jersey City wailing for its precious freight. From half a dozen converging streets to Cotirtlaud and DeBosses ferries, carno huge mai' wagon,* loaded down with letters and newspaper, hurrying I brough the dark to catch thc 4.15 boats. Once across thc ferry they are bundled into the mail cars, and exnetly at tho mo ment, tbc fast mail whisks out of thc de pot. TUE MAKE UP OF TUE MAIL Thc mail that is loaded on th,s train is made up of the morning newspaper thai before this train was put, on left on the 10.30 train. It is made up of all letters intended for tho South written in New York thc nipht before, and posted at any timo before midnight. This mail, it will bc remembered, formerly left New York at 10 30 a. m., and reached Atlan ta two days afterward. Thc mnil is a heavy one, holding nearly all ihe buiness letters written in thc city . r tho south. It is fed a! o by a close connection with tho Boston and eastern mail, which has heretofore bad to lie over in New York for several Lours. TUB MAKE ff OP THE THAIN. Thc train ls at present made up as a "flyer." Tho engine is one of the largest and swiftest of tito Pennsylvania road, and i.s coupled to thc mail car, there be ing no baggage or express. There are two mail cars on the train as it, starts from New York, but one is left nt Wash ington. Back of the two mail cars ?-one passenger coach rather slimly tilled, as tbc public is not yet accustomed to the fast mail service. The mail cars are t.f lite latest style, and fitted up willi every convenience for the prompt assortment commence their work thc moment the ?d' letters and napers. The mail clerks mail is handed into them, ami keep at it as the train is whirling along until tbc last package is fixed in its place nod ev ery leltcr is properly assorted. It is intended, in a few weeks, tu put a sleeper on tbc line, omitting possibly thc passenger coach, in which case tho fast mail will provo thc most popular line on thu road. At present tiie tn'..i is a Irim and jointy skeleton and rushes out of the depot into the night at a ter rible speed. HOW TH? JOUllKEY lri MAUL. And yet thc speed is not ut all danger ous, and is hardly unusual. Tho secret of thc short time is in thc nice adjustment of connections, tho shortness of the route selected, and the avoidance of frequent stoppages for local mail or trudie. Let tis take thc schedule and run it through. From New York lo Washington is 22? miles. This spaco is coveted hy thc double-tracks, steel rails on the Pennsyl vania road, the P. W. and B., mid B. & P., on which accidents are almost literal ly unknown. Thc 220 miles aro made in a trillo over six hours or about 34 miles nu hour-very moderate running when the engines used on theso roads eau pull a train 50 miles an hour without a strain. Tho regular schedule of the dai ly limited exnro.-'s is about the same as tho fast mail schedule, between New York and Washington, and Ibero is no moro delightful or popular riding than on this samo limited express. Fruin Washington to Richmond, the Frcderickburg and Potomac railroad is put in usc. Tho distance between these points is HG miles. Thc (wo curs of thc fast mail are swung to a fresh engine, and n:c bowled over smooth and well ballas ted traci::* in short order, making tho HG miles in four hours-thus giving thc fast mail n rato of ?peed equal to twenty eight miles an hour, on tho first southern stage of its journey. This is surely not break-neck speed. There is hardly a road ir 'L: South on which it is not often 1 3?''n, by trains that ?tro behind, ''spirting" to mako connection. There is little danger of trouble on tho Rich mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac road, and le.-:; danger of missing connections. When tho fast mail reaches Richmond it has tho longest stage of its journey abe ui of it. From Richmond to Danville is 282 miles, and order to briug the mail in nu time, this distanco has to bo made in 10.59 minutes. This is a trifle less than 28 milos an hour, but ii is u long and laborious rim. The engines devoted tn tho mail train are, however, all thal could bu . desired, and thev whirl away with the handful of car,?, licking up a mile every two minutes as regularly as thc clock tells otTtlie seconds of lime. Tho track is ballasted all right-tho cars aro strong and reliable-tho way is clear, mid everything moves as if fed from steel springs. Thc- attention of sumo of tho lu? .t ruitroad men iu tho country is con centrated on this "Flying Dutchman" of a train as it dashes down tho slopes of Virginia, flashes over tho plains of North uamiinn-and ino reputation of an unsurpassed corps of managers is pledged to the promise that it shall bring np in Charlotte on time with its precious freightage. So that wo may count on the R. &D. road as a safe stnge of the journey. At Charlotte, tho cars, which liuve .....i.. .-_._i_i_... . -.".?vyy .....o w voivu a UIU'IIU SII1CO they were pulled cut of thc iihed " Jer sey City, and bavo in^tho meantime; bare ly seen thc sun riso and set, though they have swept through fivo great States and covered OOO miles, aro taken In hand hy' our own Air Lino for tho final pull to Atlanta. This faststcgo of the journey mensures 2G9 miles, and traverse* tho most weirod scenery to be seeu in tho like number of miles anywhere perhaps nu tho continent. When we get tue train to Charlotte we almost feel that we have it safe in Atlanta-although tho distance of 269 miles must be covcrod in niuo boure-a; run of 80 ihlles an hour. Fred Krogg bos pulled his train through, whilo Phill Simms held tho 'boll-rope in less limo than that-and then never "turned a bair" on bis locomotive. There are other mon on thc road that can do just as well, sud tho mail will seldom miss on tho Air Lino end of tho trip. You may bo sure, though, that ?tv is an invigorating rldo through llie.se North Georgia mountains, on whose brows tho cascades bong like bridal veils and whose hazy Jbrests tho morning oun light* with glory. Wo warrant that the traveler will find nowhere a four .hours' ride like that from 0 o'clock in the morn ing on this routo until tho train IIUR passed Noroross and puffs into-?itlam^. Through such scenery as was never sur passed-fresh, wild, and delicious-all Aglow with the rosiness of dawn and "ewy with the tenT of night-tho da^h brough this region oould be nothing but ,.y and exhilaration. After having mado thia last stsge wo ;eo the mirado of a train in Atlanta 28? loins, after it left New York -having tdppra proVtfh?j? '-fifty tioacF; ?IVC?Q ?U> passengers time for way sido meals-and yet having preserved an average of about 80 ip}!cs and hour for 893 miles-and ypt never run a mile at a rate that could he considered dangerous hy the most con servative. The whole secret of the trio rests in thc fact that lhere is logic ut both cuds of tho line, and order all through thc route-binding the trahis together, kcep'iig everything adjusted, moving everything on the stroke, losing no lime, hut husbanding every lick of the clock. The problem is a dimple one, and yet thc 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 ono minute for mere sport, and yet the f-tendy work of telling off a mile every two minute-ouly clov en seconds faster than a horse has trotted it, and 'wenly seconds slower than a score of horses have run it-this steady work makes up the total of tf'JIJ miles in 28J hours-and gives Atlanta a mirado in the way of transportation. Titi: P II ATICA J< BENBF1T8 Ol' Till?. But we may be asked what benefit At lanta gets from all tills. The reply is simple. Fe has been said that Atlanta could havo afforded to have sunk tim *.Ji>0,000 slio lost on the Air Linc, for tho 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 thc single boom of this fast mall train. We now get the papers front New York the day after tin y nre published. Thal ix, the Sunday papers are brought into Atlanta nt 11.65 on Monday night, KO that we get them on Tuesday's morn ing. We get the papers thc morning after they aro printed -that is, Sunday's Herald is on sale In Atlanta on Monday morning at D.30. so liiere 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 Allanta Monday night at 11.65 and can he delivered in Atlaiiln hy Tuesday's mail. Under the fast mail it will he de livered in Atlanta hy Monday morning's mail at 10 o'clock. So there i* a day saved. The advantages are just as apparent for mails corning uothward. All hank ers mid business men know what a terri ble rush il hus always beeu lo get off their day's mail on theil o'clock train. Indeed the banks are often virtually a day's bus iness behind ?villi New York. This mail can now be prepared leisurely and placed on the K.20 '.rain al night-when il will reach Washington and New York justas soon as iipm <in the 'i o'clock train. This is virtually a day saved. Of course it is the same with passengers as with letters. Hy taking this last mail from 7 to 10 hours can saved, which is virtually a day's work. The advantages of the last mail are so obvious that they do not n -ed disiussi n. THU M KN Wilt? G AVK VU Till'. PAST MAIL Il is only just that we should know the nun to whom wc are indebted fir this fast mail. Out ot the 'argo appropria tion made for fast mails, Atlanta is the only southern eily that gets thu benefit of a really fast schedule, such as thc great cities of the north and west have. Colonel Foreacro and Colonel Hous ton, of the Air Line road, and Colonel Pope, nf tho Atlantic Coast Line, have been persistent in their efforts to get a fast mail line established for tho past several years. They have worked to this one end, in season and out of season. They have shortened up their schedules, quickened their lime, and in every way tried to tempt the authorities to put on a fast mail. At length they succeeded in interest ing Mr. W. II. Thompson, manager ol railway mail service, and Mr. Terrell, tho cllicient surciintendent of mai! ser vice stationed in Allanta. These gen tlemen went to work in tho matter, and after repealei'. trials succeeded in getting what waa '.leeded. Tho result of the expcrime.it has excited much interest, mid ex-Postinas'er General Key with Mr. Terrell went over the route with thc first last train to HCO how it would work. And now what of the future? When will this fast mail bo considere:! slow? Under thc present arrangement it coi ld be shortened three hours. Hut we read that two engines have just been mado for Colonel Huberts, of Pennsylvania, that have run U? miles an hour easily, and go 150 miles without stopping. * One nf these engines could run Ironi New York to Atlanta in 12 hours with all case. When shall wo leave New York at breakfast and iako early supper in At lanta? CS K NP INK SOUTHKUN SKNTIMKNT.-In nu interview willi the correspondent of a Northern newspaper, Governor Marks, of Tennessee, is reported to have used the following language : "I was ir. the Confederate service as Colonel, and I accept tho results of tho war without reserve.

ENSLAVING A WHITE GIttL. j Knclmnteil by lit? Htrnliit ut u'Vinita, tb" I full*. Revelations seem to bu t lie order ol tbc day. Memphis enjoys un enviable repu talion at the hotbed of sciiMlious of a kind peculiarly her own. Thc latest de velopment has caused a confider able local excitement. The hero is a negro (d' thal shade of darkness that be inigilt be fell as black as a black felt bat, in other words; and the heroine ?sol that scintil lating pink and white complexion so often Ibo theme of the poet's dream. Yesterday morning the writer, while in the Criminal Court room, observed a negro mau on trial for assault and batte ry upon a white woman, and learning she had a remarkable story lo relate, suc ceeded In Interviewing her, and was Well repaid for bis trouble. Her II aine, she said, was Annie Kay, and her age 24. In person she is tall and well made, fair haired and blue eyed, and was originally intruded foi a pretty wo man, but hard usage and coarse associa tions had served lo mar the Ctlt'Ct. lier language, accent and muiiuer was that ol the typical Southam darkey, presenting a contrast with her personal appearance and fair complexion that was startling in itself. Sba Iud lived with the negro 14 years, JWHI when uikcd who ber parents were Haid b.r mother's name was Aleu ihea Kay, and up to her tenth year shu livid with her parents, near Aberdeen, Mississippi. When about that ago there came through thc country a .-trolling negro fiddler, l?o stopped one night at ber father's residence, sleeping ill 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 ber few years of life been outside of her father's farm, and this was ber first experience in thc realm of melody. All night she lay awake, enchanted and in a half ecstatic stale, mid as soon as thc first rays of the morning sun peeped tluotigli her window arose, and, dressing quickly, made ber way to tho musician's cabin and begged bim to play for her. He did so, relating to her meanwhile thc secrets ol' tho mysterious outside world. How beautiful and bright everything was beyond the distant horizon-a world of song-birds and sweet music. She listened enraptured, ami his offers to take ber with him and his violin fell upon a willing ear. Before tho sun was fairly above the tree tops they were oil their way. They traveled steadily for ?lays 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 be built a strong wall and locked bis gate upon all comers. He established her tut bis slave and jealously guarded her from the prying eyes of thc outside world. Hefore she reached her iwcllth year she was subjected lo hi* loathsome em braces. Her life, ber 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 thc only place to which she was allowed to go was a negro place of worship. Unlettered, unknown and uncared fur by thc busy throng who hurried past her lonely pris on, she remained the slave of this foul tyrant. The ?brill voice of thc steam whistle, thc rumble of tho engine and thu sound of tho school bell roused in her no gleam of intelligence. Sho knew absolutely nothing. She was not even sensible to the horror of her situation. Some idea of it was awakened, however, by his own guilty conscience and his fears of her escape, which dicta ted tho most blood curdling threats of what he would do if she attempted to escapo, or if she left the house without bis knowledge mid consent. Her e.-eope, however, was made at last, ?lie concluded to set him ut defiance, and one night when he accidentally left thc gate unlocked, fled from the house. The first person sho met was a negro girl about ber own age, to whom she told ber story and usked protection. The girl, by name America Mitchell, recognised her al once ns thc niece of her former mis tress, ami, startled by her story, went with her to her prison lo demand au ex planation. When they reached thc gate it was locked, but her destroyer rustled out mid, clutching bc iv the thront, ?vas in thu act of (striking a dagger to her heart, when the young negro girl clutched his arm and saved her lite, arousing the neighbors by her screams before he could do more. Sho has since been living with her new-found friend, bu; always in deadly fear of her life. A few day? since she upplicd for und received a warrant for! assault und bullery against Zack Bey? moor, her seducer. He was found at work in a confectionery, where ho has been employed for eleven years, and ar rested. Ho is now on trial in the courts. In nu interview with him ho denied every point of her story in toto excep bad lived willi her as his mistress, rle is about 55 years of age, medium stature, stoop shouldered, woolly hoad, sloping forehead, projecting mouth, heavy lip-?, large yellow teeth and as black ns the ace of spades. Tho nial ia creating considerable inter est in and around the city. Her story, incredible us it sounds, is sustained by a deep earnestness of manner and by oilier proofs that seem Incomestible.- Cincin nati Times-Star. A Silent Partner. Old Dabbs und Jim Carter, two color ed men, having grown tired of farming, came lo this city and opened a kind of grocery store. Dabbs was a shrewd, bow-legged man, with broad fvet, and with a no?e shaped like tho half of apear. Cutter was young and inexperienced. After the siojk had been purchased, Dabbs remarked: "Carter, I'sc do oidt-st, lu dis case hit's nniacssnry fur yer to be the jungirr podner." "All right," said Carter.

At No.735 Freeman avenue, a couple of d'iors above Hank si reel, lhere reside-?, says ibo Cincinnati Eut/itirer, no ugeil and respectable German ami his wife, who make a living by keeping a family grocery and provision sture.

She is very neat .tod clean in her appearance, and is one of those sensible bodies people like to talk lo, either on business or merely for pleasure. This good couple are the parents of one of the most wonderful specimens of hu manity lliat the world ever saw, and r< r tuinly the most wonderful ever known lo exist in Cincinnati. It is a mau having the head of a donkey on his shoulder*.

Thc name of thc unfortunate creature is George Vol/. When visited hy our reporter, says the Enquirer, thu cripple siaied al him in i u unpleasant way, and began t<? kick vi ?. (ditly, os though bcuwere trying to gel at tho stranger, the while his hands, or what corresponded to it hitman being's hands, pounded iadi oilier with frightful rapid ity nu'! apparent viciousness. The re porter tinnily became hiilficieutly at ease t?> mitke a close observation, and hu saw that the face of thc cripple was u< near the shape of a donkey as could be. the only feature that nt all approached thc shape of thc genna hinno being the mise. Ibis tras noticed to be more prominent than that of a genuine specimen of the donkey, but thc outline was exactly the sume. The mouth could n<?t be tobi from ii donkey's, mid when il caine to observ ing thc upper part of thc face and the head, the resemblance was exact. The head is very large and nearly square like the donkey's, lt is covered willi course black hair, as still' and straight us ever seen on the animal referred to. The eyes ii reihe eyes of a donkey to per teeth in ; hut thc most perfect resemblance to the nnimal aro the ears. They stand straight np and um out to a sharp peak, in thc exact shape, of the cars of the donkey. The expression-the lower portion of the face-is covered with a short growth of huir, which is sheared by tho mother at regular intervals. The body of thc cri ji p?o is also covered with a growth of long, stiff, coarse hair. Tlie reporter, noticing the fact thal the lipper part nf thc bend between the ?-ars was much larger than the lower part, nt first thought ibis was ?lue to thc growth ?d' hair. In order to satisfy himself on this point he advanced toward George to place his hands upon his head. .Vs soon us he git within range he received a cou ple ot vicious kicks from one of the monster's feet, Mrs. Voir, also advanced, ut thc samo time and she. also was kicked. The reporter, however, succeeded in get ting his hands on George's head and found thal the shape noticed was the ?tiape of the skull and was not caused by tho hair. Al! of thc hairs grow up ward. As thc visitor stood looking al thc object before him, it kepi swinging its bead from side lo side, mri thu ex pression of ibo face was precisely that of the donkey. George cannot talk nt nil. Ile makes no sound that approaches lo the human speech. George's mother informed the reporter that he had sulhcieut intelligence to coin prebend enough to have his wain's sup plied, which were few. Ho expressed a wish for a drink or something to cat by signs. George's hands were nienti<-."ed above. There aro really no hands, but the stump*) ? r three or four lingers in thc njigrcgnte arc attached to what would be * . hands if he were a perfectly formed '.ninan being.
