[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDE ST.] NEW YORK, March 5. The papers treat Grant's inaugural address wi Lb forbearance. It is open to criticism, particularly in matters ol taste; but as he bas promised to try to do belter lor the next lour years, tbe disposition ls to let bim bave the chance he asks without further present ad? verse comment. The people, however, are making severe comments OD the Republican party, in the elections which are being held In the cities and counties in the Interior for local officers. The returns from every county lu rural New York, solar, show -heavy Democrat lo gain?-. Several strong Republican counties have been completely revolutionized. So much for the Credit Mobilier revelations. Senator Cragln, of New Hampshire, read, during the debate on tbe Balarles bill on Mon? day, a dispatch from his Republican friends at Concord, saying that they would lose the State lu the forthcoming election If the Re? publican members of Congress voted to In? crease tbeir pay. The Congressmen evidently looked upon their Balarles as of vasily more consequence than the stability of the par..? in the Granite ?uve and passed the bill. The election comes off on next Tuesday, and If Mr. Weston ls not re-elected Governor lt will be because the Democrat) h'ive gone to sleep. The three Democratic New Hampshire Con? gressmen shrewdly voted against the in? crease. . . The Democrats are confident of carrying Connecticut next month cn the State tickei, and tbe New Haven Republican papers, at least, concede the State to them. Ingersoll will get about six hundred Republican votes In New Haven County, and, as the State ls close, ibis acceaslOB ought to elect him. Gov? ernor English has been nominated for Con? gress by tbe New Haven Dem?crata, airalnst Kellogg, tbe late member. Tbs delegation to the Thirty-third Congress will probably stand two Democrats to two Republicans-English, Barnum, Hawley and Starkweather-a Demo? cratic gain ol one. Broadway will be lively to-morrow morning with a military pageant. The Seventh will march down lo the Battery os early as eight o'clock, and receive the West Point Cadets (who are returning from the inauguration cel? ebration at Washington,) aud escort ibem up to the Grand Central Depot. A parade ol the Seventh Invariably brings forth the young ladies ol New York lu multitudes; but what may we not expect wheo, added to that peren? nial attraction, are those dear, delightful young lellows from West Point. Broadway will, doubtless, be all ol a flutter with while handkerchiefs, bright ribbons and sparkling eyes. Poor Charlie Spencer and his regiment did not reach Washington In time to march off with the procession. Something happened to the locomotive, and the train was four hours behind time. New York was robbed nf uearly all Its glory in tbe celebration; for Spencer, with bis shiny helmet, was expected lo at? tract as much attention and elicit as much applause from the crowd as Grant. The regi? ment managed to wheel in at the tall end of the procession, and was thereiore1 hardly no? ticed. There was really a little excitement on the streets yesterday afternoon, when the long expected evening Illustrated paper, the Graphic made Hs appearance. Public curi? osity had been whetted by the advertise? ments, and was keen. The paper went off like bot cakes. Newsboys with huge bundles stood on the street comers and disposed ol copies at five cents a piece, almost as faBi as theyconjd hand them out. Over bli v thou? sand. copies were ruo off by ihe Graphic presses and sold in the city, and the country orders conld not be supplied. The first number was hardly up to public ex? pectation. Some of the pictures were bad not in the drawing, but the execution. The publishers acknowledge their shortcomings io c&day'd issue, but attribute them lo tbe' acci? dents incident to the beginning of a new and untried enterprise. They promise to improve steadily until they fuily satisfy the an ist ic wants of the public. No fault, however, can be lound with the literary part of the Graphic. It is bright, chatty, newsy, cleverly arranged and beautifully printed. Among the contri? butors whose names appear lu connection wltb articles are Ell Perkins, Orpheus C. Kerr and Walt Whitman. Steadman contributed the opening poem. The advent ol the GraDblc bas been watched with Interest in journalistic circles since it was evident that lt ihe publish? ers could carry out their large pro m lacs a revolution ID newspaper style was impending. It ls certain from ibe result that the old style has not yet received a severe shock. The Herald did a stroke of enterprise by en? gaging Edmund Tates, the English author, ana Colonel Don Platt, ihe prince cf news? paper correspondents, to report the inaugura? tion for its columns. Two well writteu sketches were telegraphed tn txtmso over the wires last night, and appeared In full lu ihe Herald ibis morning. The feat must have cost Mr. Bennett two or three thousand dol? lars, but it made ihe HeraM talked about, and doubtless Yates's screed will be extensive? ly copied by the press of other cities. The Herald ls famous for such splendid sumrlses. Our Beecher ls still away ic tbe Wes-t lectur? ing to immense audiences. He received $2400, exclusive of expenses, for iwo lectures in Cin? cinnati-twenty dollars a minute. In Chicago be drew a $3500 bouse. After fully a year's preparation, Fechter opens his new Fourteenth street tnealre on the 2?ih of this month. He will call it the Lyceum. It is arranged on an entirely novel ftlao, and the theatre-goers are all agog to see t. Melodrama ls to be Fechter's strong card. An investigation Into ibe affairs ol the East River bridge has brought ionb an opinion from Mr. Suanahan, one cf the leading busi? ness men ol Brooklyn, that it can never be completed by private enterprise, because lt witt not be remunerative. He estimates that the cost will be at least nine millions of dol? lars, and thinks that ihe two cities ought to undertake the construction. This opens up a new question tor newspaper and legislative discussion. What ll the big towers already partially finished should be left to stand as melancholy monuments ol lallure-like ihat affair on the banks ol the Potomac ? NTH. A SOCIAL INQUISITION. A social census has been taken of Washing? ton lately. An interviewer extraordinary bas visited tbe heises of certain officials and prom'nent private citizens and put the lady of the nouse through a course of questions; as for instance, "How many daughters have you in society, madam ? How iong have ihey been out ? Any debutantes ? Debutantes are very popular this winter, you know. Better say one debutante, eh ? Slonde or brunette ? Any sons, madam, In society ? Any at col? lege ? Which college and which class, madam* Expect them daring the season ? Do your daughters dance the German ? Do you ap? prove of the German ? Do you believe In chaperons? How late do you allow your daughters lo etay at entertainments ? At what hour do you desire young men keeping company with your daughters to leave the house, supposing you permit followers ? How many nights per week do you allow tbe young ladles to attend entertainments ? Have they a large wardrobe ? And do the intend wear? ing m fin y costumes, or doing the season with two? The last lavery popular, madam; the public Likes that look of economy lu these days of fraud, you know. Ah, yes; much obliged; good morning, madam." GERMANY AND BRANT. Sharp Comments on the President's In. augural. BERLIN, March ll. Tbe German papers ridicule and sburplj criticise the late inaugural ol President Grant asking If the great powers should mal nial c diplomatic relations with a country whose ex? ecutive thus insults them. A CURIOUS CASE. Mrs. Putnam's Petition for the Pardon of Foster. We have already nelle* d tho fact lhat MTP. Putnam, the widow or the victim ol the car hook murder, had pleaded for mercy to the doomed Foster, the slayer of her husband. The following Is her touching appeal to Gov? ernor Dix : To tte Governor of the State of New York: I wish to address you on the eubject which, as you can well understand, is in every re? spect most painful to me. I refer to the case of Wm. Foster, con vlei ed ol the murder of my husband, Avery D. Putnam. The Intense suffering which I have endured in my own IOBS and in feeing my child left fatherless has made me deeply sympathize with the wid? owed and the fatherless, aud eo I plead tor his life for ihe sake of his lnnoceot wife and children, who are Involved with me and mine in never-dying sorrow. It would in no way ameliorate my sorrow to know that the law had taken his life, thus, perhaps, robbing his family and Irlends of the hope that by lengthened years that husband and father may, by repentance of his sins, become worthy ot the mercy which Infinite love extends lo all. I do not presume to put forth my views on such a matter, but If my wishes ure of any importance I do implore yon lo regard those innocent ones. For my? self and my family it could only reopen our wounds and add another horror to the past to have to reflect that this man bas died, and that another wife is widowed and other chil? dren left fatherless, besides being disgraced. I believe that many persons, for whose opinions I have great respect, ibink that the punishment should be reduced to Imprison? ment for life, and to their petition I would earnestly add my own. Respectfully yours, ELLEN M. POTNAM. Providence, February, 1873. Thia pnpeal would seem lo be one hard to resist; but a different aspect ls given to ihe subject by the following dispatch from New York, which came over the wires yesterday: The case of William Foster, the carbook murderer, has assumed a new phase, and petitions of a different character from those recently sent lo Governor Dix are, it ls slated, being prepared for transmission to Alb my. The merchants in ihe neighborhood ol Broad and Beaver streets are, lt ls slated, greatly excited over the statement made by Wm. L. Allen, a butler merci)?*" of Pearl street, that fifteen tboupand ..ollars had been paid to Mrs. Avery J. Putnam, the widow of Foster's victim, for signing the letter recently Sint by ber to Governor Dix. Allen, whose wife ls a relative of Mrs. Putnam, says the money paid her for signing the letter came from a rich relative ot Foster. In view of the publicity of tie fact, a large number ot mer? chants have prepared a pedil?n to the Gover? nor, praying bim to wholly ignore all peti? tions, letters, &c, in consideration of the un? holy means employed to defeat the ends of J na? nce lo Foster's case, and to decide only on the points ol law and of the evidence, such as the corrupting Influence of money has not touched. The merchants who have s'gaed the petition are ali prominent in the Produce Exchange, and among them Is Putnam's former partner, H. Humberger. GOSSIP FROM GREENVILLE. Blore Incendiarism-A Valuable Gin. House Burned-The Weather and the Crops. IPKOU OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] GREENVILLE!, S. C., March 8. The gin-house of Captain Wm. Goldsmith, I one of our best men and most enterprising farmers, Just upon the outskirts of this city, was burnt down on Friday, the 7tb Instant, at about four o'clock A. M. It was unquestiona? bly the work of un Incendiary, as the gin had not been used for weeks. Ile had In ll four bales ot cotton, five hundred bushels ol colton seed, seven tons ot Wando fertilizers and much else that was valuable. The loss is at least twenty-five hundred dollars, and lt was not insured. It is hard to discover these In cendiarles,und thus the hard and honest earn? ings of a good citizen are all destroyed; no oue knows whose gin or dwelling-house will go next, and all are kept anxious and un? happy. The fertilizers are in great demand this season, and the supply will not be sufficient. Al least fltit-en hundred fons will be sold here, which will amount lo $80,000, and $100,000 worth could be easily sold. There ls uow but oue opinion of their Incalculable value. They are carried to the foot o? tue Blue Ridge, and lhere cotton ls raised by their means. The roads in every direction from the city are alive with wagons hauling fertilizers. They are ihe beat antl-emlgrallon society we have or eau have, and the best Immigration society. Farming with fertilizers will pay, and every? body wants now lo stay al home. N.> moving lo the West. And soon people will move lu lo share the protiis of farming. The weather since Gnrlstmas has been very disagreeable, cold, wet and cloudy. No farm woi k bas yet been done, and the roads have been almost impassable. The thermometer on Monday morning, the 3d Instant, stood at twenty degrees below freezing, aud ou Tues? day, the 4th, at iwenly-tnree degrees below freezing. It ha?, however, been au uncom? monly healthy season. Land on Main street. In desirable locations, ls Belling at one hundred dollars per foot ou the street, and hard to get at that. Merchants and tanners are boih making money. AR capital Increases eur people are anxious to en? gage in manufactures, and much would have been done in establishing factories this year had the Legislature passed the bill before them relieviog manufacturers irom tax for ten years. Now, those about lo establish fac? tories are difconceried, and, perhaps, will walt another year uni il the bill ls passed; and ? hus the wheels of progress will be arrested a whole year in this respect. The literary and theological Institutions here are doing very well. The Literary Club is in successful operation. Ii furnishes for five dollars two hundred dollars' worth of the best English and American reviews, and thus an abundant and cceap literature ls furnished to all its members. Tou pay little and get much. The churches here arc all well supplied and well attended. There ls some special interest In the Baptist Church at ?his time. The Good Templars are very active, and many youth are uniting willi them. They do much good. SOMERS. THE RAILROAD ANACONDA. PHILADELPHIA. March ll. At the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Railroad, to-day. a report was read, giving a highly encouraging statement of the present and future prospects of the company. Wilh the acceptance by the stockholders of an act of the Legislature, recently passed, authoriz? ing the doubling of the capital stock ot the company, a greater und more rapid extension than ever, ot the facilities of the road, will be practicable, and Us managers will be able to consummate thel rgreal scheme of making the road the grand highway of the continent for travel and traffic. With an Increase ol capi? tal, the company will have the means for lay? ing two additional tracks between this city and Piitsburg, so that it will have in opera? tion four tracks, two fjr through ana two for local traffic. THE COMING LABOR STRIKES. NEW YORK, March ll. The employers and workingmen are begin? ning to discuss the proposed movement In the various trades with reference to wages and hours ol labor. The employers seem to be unanimous lo their opposition lo a reduction of hours, while the workingmen are not united. Many of them regard favorably ihe ten-hour system. THE WEATHER THIS DAT. WASHINGTON, March ll. Probabilities: For Wednesday In the New England and Middle 8tateR there will be a ris? ing barometer, with westerly winds and partly cloudy and clear weather. For the South At? lantic and Eastern Gulf Stales there will be cloudy weather and light winds. Northerly winds and tailing temperature will probably extend southerly over the Western Gulf Slates on Wednesday morning. Cautionary sig? nals continue at Boston and Portland, Maine AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY A DEAD MAN'S BRAIN TRANSFERRED TO A QUICK SUBJECT. la the Compound the Party or the First or Second Part ? A correspondent ol the New York World, writing from Purls, gives the following strange and hardly credible account of the recent transfusion of a dead man's brain Into a living subject. The fads are reported by the World correspondent as recorded lo the Gazette Hebdomadaire, taken irom Yircbow's Archives, a medical journal published at Berlin: Il was at Leipzig that the experiment was performed. A soldier who had killed the col? onel or his regiment In cold blood, aud whom the severity of Prussian military discipline would have caused to die a hundred deaths bad ll been possible, was deliberately bauded over lo the surgeons, by sentence ol court martial, and was confined in a strong room in the military hospital, entirely In the dark as to the fate which awaited him. He was kept there ready for an emergency, which did not fall to occur. A keeper of a beer cellar In Leipzig, a man resembling in many respects the condemned saldier, and who nad been M zed with acute^flairrnration of the heart, or rather ot Its Investing membrane, was brought to the hospital to die of that Incurable and promptly fatal malady. No sooner bad Ihe anticipated death taken place than the dead saloon-keeper was placed on the table by the side of anoiher operating table, on which was the chloroformed but living body of the sol? dier. Two surgeons, with assistants, proceeded alike In both cases to divide the scalp over the summit of the skull from ear to ear, turn back the division, and remove the skull-cap by Incisions passing around ihe skull like a orown. In the soldier, whose carotid arteries had been prepared for compression, these vessels were clamped so as to prevent hem? orrhage, and bul a lew drops ol blood were lost during the entire operation. In each the dura mater was Incised, and the hemispheres of the brain were removed by an Incision with a sharp, tbln-bladed knife paBSinz above the cerebellum, or a narrow portion of about two Inches In a diameter called ihe crura cerebrl. The brain ot the saloon-keeper, which was Bound, the heart disease having left lt Intact, he having been sensible to the last, was transferred io the skull ol the sol? dier, and by an ingenious contrivance the continuity of the arterial and VOL?OS tubea was established. The greatest care was taken iu securing the nalurul adaptation of the parlB to a traction of a line, and the skull, having been replaced simply, was held down and in position by the scalp, which was drawn over, and Its edges conti oed by strips, o? adhesive plaster, and over all was placed a bandage. It was not until several days had passed that the pressure upon the carotid ar? teries was entirely relaxed,although before the skull was replaced the flow ol blood in the vessels of the brain was proved to be restored. The chief fear was from the results of Inflam? mation and suppuration, but fortunately neither ensued, aud the wounded parts healed kindly. There was from the first no difficulty in feeding the patient, nor was difficulty an? ticipated, for il ls well known thal In puppies and kittens In which ihe entire brain has been removed sucking and swallowing go on as well as before lue operation, and lu this case the nerves which preside over degluti? tion and digestion were far below the point of suction. Tne pillent remained In a sound sleep for two weeks, as In a case of apoplexy, the circulation, digest lon and nil the vegeta? tive functions ot life being uninterrupted. The gradual union ol the puris was shown by faint but gradually Increasing movements ot the limbs, of the Jaws and ot the muscles ot expression In the face. Speech did not be? come possible Nolil ihe close of the third week, and then it was hesitating, stammer? ing ns a child learns. Although it was evi? dent that the patient tried lo utter words and sen'ences, it was very gradual that the power of intelligible arilculatlon returned. The Gazelte contaluB the report, in a tabu? lar 'lorin, of the increasing voluntary power over the arms and hands, as measured from day lo day by Ihe dynamometer, the measure ments given in kilogrammes; also the dally temperature oi the limbs, as shown by the thermometer In degreeR of centigrade; also the measure of returning sensibility of the fing? ers and lips, as given by an instrument called an teithesiometer; but I omit these, as your readers will be Interested tu the main facts only. When speech became Intelligible it was found that the soldier, as he seemed, had for? gotten entirely bia military training and disci? pline; on the other hand, he told, at a formal examination, lo the presence ol a number of witnesses, the prices of all the wines and beers, such as the saloon keeper hud been In the habit of buying and selling, manifesting the unimpaired cerebral activity of the latter. His memory recalled ihe saloon keepers re?a Uves, lrlends and customers, whom lie called by name. The soldier had been ugly, taciturn, revengeful; he now had the saloon keeper's' fraukness and even garrulity, In spite ot his stammering utterance. He was totally blind. Although the nerves of smell and eight had been approximated In the ope? ration, they failed lu unite. It was both sad and strange lo see aud hear the sole 1er groop lug in his Infirmity ol blindness, and giving proof of all the patient endurance und good? ness of heart which had made the saloon? keeper deservedly esteemed and prosperous. These are the main tacts In the case as far as detailed In the Archive, but the subject of ex? periment presents so many Important prob? lems of the relation between blood and brain, of heart power and nervous energy, thnt we may be well assured thut no facts of Interest in the c-augeii condition of the culprit will be permitted to escape notice and record. A grave p int of discussion ls whether he must still be considered a criminal, and suffer exe? cution as a guilty soldier, or shall be pen? sioned and liberally cared for In his Infirmity as a guiltless und much-suffering beerseller. Public sentiment is divided. Emperor Wil? liam says "Ya," peremptorily. The Emperor William's Judges, therefore, all say "Ya wohl." Tue Emperor William's prolessors of meta? physics In the Emperor's universities say it is clearly a casa ol ego and non-ego, and the people seem willing that the matter should rest there as fur us the metaphysical aspects of the question are concerned. For my part I merely give the facts of Ihe case and the proof on which they rest. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES.

A correspondent of the New York Herald? after giving bis theory of the recent move? ment ol the McEnery miliiia at New Orleans, resulting In conflict with the police and blood? shed, details an Interview with both McEnery and Kellogg, the rival Slate governors. From McEnery be learned that the movement was made with his (McEnery's) consent, but on no account was it the Intention to defy the au? thority of the United Stales li lt was exer? cised. Its main object waa to precipitate an issue, in order that the government policy might be clearly defined, and an Interference with the State government made overt, j From Kellop . the correspondent found that his pr ">e: J mily aware of tbe movements ot the oiuEnery parly, and that at all times the Kellogg government was ready to check? mate any movement ot their opponents. The night of the collision Kellogg stated that be was at his headquarters with General Long? street, who, by raeann of a telegraphic wire, received Information of ibe movement, and when the dispatch was received that the militia of McEnery were firing pistols, Long? street saldr* "Shall I give the order to open fire on them." He (Kellogg) protested, ask? ing him whether "he would sacrifice so many lives belore lhere bad been bloodshed." Longstreet answered, "Yee; that was ihe only way to deal with them. That was the mis? take Warmoth always made, lu being unwil? ling to fire on the mob, and we muBt not fall into the aime error." Though everything ls quiet since th? collision aud defeat of Ibe militia, the McEnery government are doing wbat they morally can in their cause. Address to the People. The legislative committee appointed by the McEnery Legislature to prepare an address to the people met Friday evening at the St. Charles Hotel and prepared an address, In which they claim that the principles held In their former address liad beeu sustained by tbe United Slates Senate committee in their report on the elections in Louisiana, and the action of Judge Ourell. They recite the main points presented by ibat committee. The condemnation of Judge Durell, as as? suming illegal and arbitrary Interference; of the board of canvassers in setting aside the legal returns of the votes of the people, and that such returns as received by the board of canvassers could not create a de jure gov? ernment; that the State officiais who had the regular returns were entitled lo iheir seats, remitting their contestants to the courts-all of which propositions being agreed upon by Ibe committee of the United Stales Senate, tbe majority had declared that the govern? ment of Kellogg was a fl ?grant usurpation. The committee complain that lathe face of this report the President, advised by a single member of the United States Senate commit? tee, had aoied upon the presumption that there was a de facto government in Louisiana opposed lo the de Jure government, and that he must recognize the de facto party; and dis? senting from this view, Ibat there can be any legal government in a State entitled to recog? nition as a de lacto and not at the same time a de Jure government. The committee nod the mortifying fact that such a de facto gov? ernment can oniy be supported by the military power ot the United States. Tue committee say : IF WE RESIST the United States, which, with arms, defends this government, we are rebels. If we do not reslBt, we submit and acknowledge its author? ity and power. We do noe believe that the founders of ibis government or the frtendB of Republican Institutions and of liberty in any part of the world buve ever sanctioned such a doctrine or proposition. We believe ?hat the Federal government, represented by Con? gress and the President, ure under a sacred conBlltuilonul obligation lo protect nod de? fend tbe people of the Slates In the enjoyment of their Republican right in selectlug their own political agents, and that this right is utterly disregarded and trampled out lu ihe course pursued in our case. TS SO CLEAR A PATH SF DUTT and manhood we have deemed lt Imperative to assert those rights guaranteed by the Fed? eral constitution, und to endeavor lo perform the tunci lons and exercise the powers con tid? ed to tisby Hie people. Weare prevented and hindered therein by what we regard ihe wronetul and unconstitutional Intervention of tbe Federal Executive. Such luterventlen being so regarded by us, we cannot, ll we would, and would not If we could, cease our protest, and our opposition thereto. AN APPEAL TO THE STATES. We appeal to our brethren lu the other States tur their sympathy and support of a position which iheyare all Interested in main? taining, ilma vindicating a cardinal principle ol our political system. We have no otr.er hope or means of defence against Ihe wrongs done us. We can only assert our rights, re? fuse submission to usurpation, ai d abide the Judgment of ihe American people In our case. Meantime ll behooves the people of Louisiana to preserve their manhood, their dignity and their patience. Suffering under Ihe greatest indignities which CUD bo perpetrated upon a free people, they are threatened with the pro? longation of a reign of corruption and oppres? sion tor lour yearn longer. We bave no other recourse against such calamity, and no means for re-establishing our rights as a people, under our status os a Republican Slate, but by a firm and unyielding adherence to Ihe law? ful government ol the State. Ol VE US QUIET SUPPORT. We, therefore, urge our fellow-ciilzens to give us ihelr quiet support and encouragement In our eodeavois to support and pul lu opera? tion this government, not by violent resist? ance lo the authority or the United Stales, but by a firm and united opposition to any and every aol of ihe usurping government of Kel? logg and his confederates. In view of the great disasters ol' our Si me resulting lrom political troubles, we have been disposed to make large concessions and compromises to secure peace and good government lo Louisiana, but all propositions of that character have been haughtily rejected by Ihe usurpers, embold? ened bv the counlenance and support extend? ed io t?eni by the Federal Executive. Nothing now ls left lu the free and honest citizens ot this Si ato, wno elected ns and our associates, but to rally with renewed earnestness and de? votion lo the defence end eupport ol the de Jure and lawful government. Wllh their ap? proval and eupport we have an abiding confi? dence In th? eventual triumph ot our cause and lim recocnillou hy a Just and honorable nallonal administration ol the equal rlghisof Louisianans on? of the glorious Union ol this great republic and confederacy. Dishonor, tho reproach and dislavor of tbe people, and self-abasement must attach to all who, bavins once assumed the position so clearly pointed out as that of duty and manhood, shall aban? don the same or shrink from any responsibil? ities and obligations.

Garvey, belore bis hasty depar lure for Europe, conveyed all bis real estate to his wife und others. Then Mrs. Garvey sold to Isidore Wormser some houses In Madl son avenue for two hundred and fifteen thou saud dollars, receiving five hundred dollar: when the contract was made.

THE "STA GNATION" IN SA VANNAH. The Latest Remedy Suggested-A New Route to the West-The Port Royal Railroad-The Central and Its Branches. (From ihe Savannah News, March ll.] A number of well-known and Influential parties are strongly advocating the* necessity and tbe advisability cf Savannah aiding lo tbe construction ot the proposed short line rail? road from Atlanta to Macon, which, lt, ls very reasonably claimed, will give us an indepen? dent line to tbe West by the way of the Atlantic and Gulf and Macon and Bruns? wick Railroads to the great railroad centre, Atlanta. We are pleased to observe mat there appears to be a strone Inclination to? ward maklog an effort lo solve the question as to what causes have produced the present stagnation in Vie business ot this city. An examination ot the map will satlsty any one ol the benefits that will Inevitably accrue to Savannah lrom the completion ot this pro? posed line, and should call forth liberal en? couragement from our people. Tbe time for action bas arrived, and the sooner our people realize lt and pnt their shoulder to the wheel, the sooner will cur city be relieved of the disadvantages which now encompass ber, and the obstructions which hamper ber onward march in prosperity and growth. THE PORT ROYAL RAILROAD, the completion ol which was announced a few days since, will not bein thorough running order to Augusta until the 16th of May. It is stated that the backers of this road have a pledge lrom parties in E-igland lo establish a line of steamships between Port Royal and Liverpool as soon as the Southern Pacific Railroad Is completed. This road may be utilized to some purpose by Savannah by proper energy and effort, and in the event of such a line ot steamships being established our Importing facilities may be largely in? creased. MOVEMENTS OF THE CENTRAL RAILROAD COM? PANY. In a recent article referring to the Central Ral I mud and Its branches, we mentioned that the Western Railroad of Alabama was owned respectively by the Central, Georgia and Southern Security Railroad Companies, and that a consultation in regard to Its future management and conduct was to be held. The cooference has ended, and under the late agreement effected, ihe Columbus Sun states that ihe following Is the plan bf operations : The Central Railroad lakes the branch road from Columbus to Opelika; the two others that portion lrom Opeilna to West Point. For this property they give iheir share of the floating debt of the company, and thus that claim is wiped out and the Western road bas nothing but a bonded debt against the corpo? ration. The Western Road of Alabama will then ex? tend lrom Opelika to Selma. The Columbus branch will be Incorporated in the Central, and the portion between Opelika and West Point In the Georgia Railroad and Southern Security Companies. The three companies possess most of the stock and bonds, and agree to put the West? ern Railroad io first clans condltioo. The Centrai Road will at once proceed to pul ihe road between Columbus and Opelika In first-class order. The three companies also agree to charge tbe same rates on travel and cotton and other freights to the different points, thus preventing all discriminations. The Central also takes charge of boih the depots in Columbus, and placea them under the officers now lu charge at the South? western Depot. Through irai ns-passenger and freight-will be run through to Mont? gomery as heretofore, and Opelika, as now, will not be a terminus, but a way-station. It ls also thought very probable that the Cen? tral will make arrangement to bring cars from the Savannah and Memphis Railroad to Columbus. It ls also thought probable the Southern Security Company, when these changes bave been consummated, will lease ol ihe Georgia Road the line lrom Atlanta to West Point, and incorporate it with ihe Richmond ond At? lanta air Line Railroad, which is soon to be completed. The changes of which we have spoken will most probably be consummated In May. The Western Road will gain by ihe removal ol its entire floating debt.

Hayne, in Reply to the Statement of ?A Columbia Lady." TO THE EDITOOS OF THE NEWS. Ton have recently published an article, pur? porting to come from the pen of "A Colombia Lady," and originally addressed to the ?diter of the Boston Dally Advertiser. This commu? nication attributes the Impression, widely prevalent at the North, that Timrod waa ne? glected by bis own people, to "garbled truths," and "unfair statements" in regard to the events of the poet's life. Now, If by such langnage the writer would imply that the biographical sketch attached to Tlmrod's poems contains anywhere "garbled truths" and "unfair statements," I have only to reply that as every assertion of imp?rtanos In that narrative touching the poet's wants and con? dition is derived lrom bia own or ola sister's written evidence, this charge is derogatory to the character of the dead alone ! The lady correspondent of "The Advertiser," elsewhere in the p^me article, apeaks ot "tb* veli having been ruthlessly lorn aside irom th? sacred scenes of Ihe fireside and death-bcd ol the sweet singer ot the South.'' To bava Ignored In any Hie of Timrod pretending td fulness and accuracy, his domestic circum? stances and domestlo trials, was dearly aa Im? possibility. That there ls anything "ruthless" In the manner of unveiling these appears to be a discovery for which the fair correspon? dent of the Boston paper can claim the ex? clusive credit. The circumstances ttiemselves were hardly of a natnre to be detailed In rota water lor Ink, upon a "rose-leaf page." As for the death-be I scene, lt ls from first to last described in a letter from the poet's favor? ite sister, the publication of which ehe em? phatically sanctioned.* Probably no account ol the sort can be found In English literature more tender, more pathetic, more eloquent. To apply the term "ruthless," were lt but by Implication, to such a narrative, (or rather to its publication,) ls, with due respect to tba writer's eex, an example of perverse taste and feeling difficult to comprehend. . The anecdote of General Wade Hampton's dellcate-mlndcd munificence towards TimnKi ls characteristic of the General's cordial and. sympathetic spirit. Yet, even here, Inadver? tently, no doubt, a wreng impression bas been produoed. According to the writer this help came to Timrod in the autumn of 1867. "Thenceforth," she remarks, "he was never in want again. On the contrary, the remainder of his life was sustained and soothed by every comfort that friendship could devise." Strangers to the truth, reading this para? graph might naturally suppose that "the re? mainder ofblB (Tlmrod's) life" embraced a considerable period; a period of months, if not years. But, as he died early in October, 1867, the lime which elapsed between the occur? rence of the incident mentioned and bis de? cease, could scarcely have been more than* few weeks at furthest. , In conclusion, let me say that my detr as Tlmrod's biographer was plain, simple. Im? perative. I was bound to present tbe un? doubted facts of his career, however sad and painful. Any attempt hereafter on another's part to conceal the harsh features of his fate, to deny or materially modify the statements of bis biography, resting upon such demon? stration as exists therein, can result In noth? ing but failure. Billi, while recording the facts of his melancholy experience, I have not presumed to blame either Individuals or communities. PAUL H. HATMB. Copse Hill, Ga. Cen. B.
