Effect of Railroads ON Towns.

The rapid growth Of Western tow Ms, says
the National Intelligencer, under the influ-
ence of railroad facilities, has seldom been
more markedly exhibited than in the case Of
West Urbana, n village in Champagne coun-
ty, I29 miles south of Chicago on the Chi
cago branch of the Illinois Central railroad.
One year ago this place contained but one
building, a freight house bclOugidg to the
company. Eight months ago there were
five houses. Now there are at least one
hundred houses and four or five hundred in-
habitants, and il is estimated that nearly
three hundred other buildings, Of all kinds,
are being erected and to be erected during
the spring. Included in the buildings are
two large hotels, six stores, large furniture
wareroom, large warehouse for forwarding
purposes, a Presby yterian church, and large
school-house. The village is incorporated
and post Office established; ; and all this
his been accomplished in eight months

ton with Cincinnati and the East and its
extension to the main trunk of the Illinois
Central will, during the year, also put it in

AUBURN, Ala, May 70.
Messrs. Editors Noticing your luiries
in regard to the cotton crop in the Courier
Of the gath inst, submit the following, af-
ter consultation with good many of our
planters.
To first inquiry There Is all Of one
fourth, if not one third, less cotton planted
in Macon county this year than IN 1853 and
1864.
To second.-On the gray lands the stand
is good and the weed very fine; on the red
and stiff lands, embracing PORTION Of this
and Chambers county above, the stand is
very poor-not more than half up, in fa,t.
Many planters have ploughed up and plant
ed corn instead of cotton. The crop, taken
generally, is not Us good, by one third, rs it
was this time last year and year before.
Third-There is not two hundred and
fifty bales Of cotton in Macon county of Last
years crop, and doubt If there is three
hundred and fifty in this aud Chambers coun-
ty-boih large cotton growing counties.

ASYLUM for Drunkards.

We noticed in one of OUT. ur..cxchanges u few
days ago, thata bill has been passed in the N
York Legislature, providing certain amount
for the purpose Of erecting an Ass, lum for
drunkards. When man has been on n bust
he will be placed in there, until he becomes
perfectly well, even if it requires six months.
We think it an admirable idea.
All men are differently constituted. Some
can take ono drink and let il alone, others
again, If they take one, cannot restrain them
selves from taking more. A man Of quick
nervous temperament, for instance, when he
tales one drink, his Imagination becomes
| excited, he feels elated, and in order to per-
pctuate the exieration, or increase it, he
keeps on. Some, again, after enc nights de-
bauch, have no inclination TO taste the stuff
! the next morning, the smell is even repusive
to them; others again, on the next day have
an inordinate, burning thirst for more; they
know stimulus will relieve them Of the ter.
rible suffering they endure, and they fly to
it. You cannot restrain them.
We recolect reading an account some
time since, of a young man, who, being very
much addicted to the nse of opium, and find
ing that he could not renource the use of it,
applied to the superintendent Of the Belle
vieu Hospital, in New York State, for ad-
mittarco into that institution; he stated his
case, said he could not restrain himself from
using opium, that Of late, he had consumed
half an ounce day,--which is equal to 2ss
grains, and one grain is considered full dose
that he wished to be confined there, until
he had lost all taste for the noxious drug.
His petition was granted. Itis jus. SO with
ardent spirits, and we believe an ASYLUM
where men, who are suffering from Delrium
Tremens, or Mamma Potu, or any of the ills
produced by the Incorporate use of spiritu-
GUS liquors, could be confined until perfectly
recovered, would do much to promote re.
form in an evil, which destroys more Of the
human race, than pestilence, war, and fam
inc combined.
