We learned yesterday (says the Montgomery Ma,
OF the ID insant) that there had been sRpped fro'
this point by railroad, this season. $500 bales of co
ton, via Columbus to Savannah and thenca h Wv Wv
to Baltimore and New York. owing to the low $40"
OF the Alabama river. Some Of the papers in tbi
State, in their phrenzied opposition to the Central
railroad scheme, have lately been making some verv
unklnd thrusts at Montgomery for building araI
way towards tie gulf. We trust that the foreyo;na
item Cot news to them) will be sufficient excuse fa5
Montgomery aside from the fact that it is perfectv
natural for communities to consult their own ;nter
est If we but had railroad or respectable rivar
to the gulf. our warehouses now would be comnara
lively empty, instead of being half or twothrds FIJI
of cotton. Ao4'

singular to trace the manner in which arose the usa
OF the common beverage, coffee, without which few
persons. in any half or wholly civilized country in
the world, would seem hardly able to exist. Attic
time Columbus discovered America. it had nevar
been known or used. 1t only grew in Arabia and
upper Ethiopia The discovery of its use as bev.
erage is ascribed to the superior Of monastery in
Arabia who, DESTROYS of preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services made than,
drink the infusion of Coffee upon the report of soma
shepherds, who observed that their hocks were more

parent stock of all the French coffee plantations in
the West Indies. The extent Of the consumnt;om
can now hardly be realised The United States alone
