Gag The river is still in good boating order for
light draught steamers, which are improving the
opportunity thus afforded for carrying what little
freight there is to be shipped. What they lack in
freight they make up in squealing, and between
the whistling of the Flour Mills, the screenings Of
the Planning Mill and Foundry, the terrible snort
ing of our obstreperous 'roH horse" our citizens
are RECALLED with enough "musical evidences OF
our prosperity and enterprise to satisfy even the
most old fogyish among us that GAINESVILLE is
bound to be great place one of these days.
Since the above was put in type we learn that
the river has risen some three feet.

THE RAnRoAD.--ln our last issue, we promised
TO give our readers some items of interest in con-
nection with the work on a portion Of the line of
our Railroad. We conceive 1t our duty as friend
TO this great and important enterprise, to keep the
public posted in any matters of interest which trans
pires in its onward progress to triumphant termi-
nation.
We look with more than ordinary interest," to
that portion of the line which traverses the Valley
of Wells Creek, the Tennessee Ridge and Cane
Greek. Within FIVE or six miles west of Cane
Creek Ridge, there is concentrated working force
of more than five hundred men. The material in
this region is perhaps the most difficult to excavate
that has been encountered on the line. 1t is com
posed generally, of small masses of rock boulders
and congomerated pebbles and sand-the rock be-
ing embedded in n matrix of stiff red clay, which
yields but tardy TO the blow of the pick. The lat
ter is only found in the spurs of the hills which
protrude into the valley of the Creek, and along
its banks. The proportion of solid rock, compared
with the earth excavation will be exceedingly SMALL
On the Ridge, it is than probable that none
will be found, the only out-crop Of this material
noticed is one hundred and fifty or two hundred
feet below the summit
We understand there is a change proposed to be
made in the grades and alignment for distance OF
about two miles east and west of the Ridge. The
object of this the sides is to throw out the
heavy trestle work at the crossing of McMans
Branch-and on the west side, to reduce the guam
tity of excavation. The facts we have gathered
from the Engineers in regard to the subject, war
rant us in asserting that from twenty to thirty
Thousand dollars will be saved should the changes
be made.
We are not acquainted with any section Of coun-
try in the State where Railroad is more needed
than through the Ridge region in Stewart county
We would not expect stranger passing over it, to
accord with us in making so bold assertion
1t is true there no landscapes smiling with
highly cultivated fields and paatal residences-no
herds of fat cattle browsing the hills, or feeding
III the valleys-no scenery that the Artist would
love to paint-none that would enrapture the SOU
of the poet-no luXuries and but few of the COM
forts Of life to be found. But nevertheless, there
are inexhaustibe elements of wealth imbedded IN
the bosom Of its hills which the road, and the en-
ergy and genius of man, will sooner or later deve.

turned verdict of guilty. and u sentence to the
Pententary for three years. Upon motion for new
trial--the Court refused TO grant new trial the

there had been three convictions, and though he
thought the evidence inefficient yet regarding that
he had interposed often enough, he would override
the motion, but that he would recommend the pris-
Oner to appeal to the Supreme Court. The prison
err did appeal. When asked if he had any thing
to say why the sentence of confinement in the
Peniteutiary should not be pronounced against him
