ANOTHER GREAT COMMERCIAL TRIUMPH.
The Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi River
Join Hands. Us. If

from the vicksburg (Mlss.) Sentinel, Dec. 20.
One OF the greatest drawbacks to trade and to the
rapid development OF enterprise in this ctyand not
only has t been felt here but II has exerted its bane
full influences upon trade all throughout the South
has been the want OF through railroad lines to con-
meet the great mart OF America, New York, with the
ments OF goods were long In reaching their desti
nation that much valuable time has been lost
and the demand for the goods so shipped
has been dwarfed. We have long re-
elements OF this beneficial enterprise, and that
ii only required properly directed effort TO develop
t. The completion OF the Rome road has proved
the connecting link and at once energetic effort was
made to accomplish this grand result. The mer-
chants OF our city and Jackson have long looked
anxiously forward TO the time when the mississippi
river and the Atlantic Ocean might be linked to-
Qether by unbr0ken line OF railway. where unity
OF action and harmony would tend TO bring about
this much desired purpose The necessity OF II
has been so imperativey felt that futile
efforts have been made to accomplish 1t in the
past but unfortunately these EFFORTS were unavaiing.
But we are gratifed In being able to announce that
the line the last OBSTACLE has been removed aud that
to-day a line Ia In operation by which goods have
been shipped from New York via Charleston and de-
livered In Rome, Georgia, In four days, and along
the line OF the Selma road In i've days, and could
have been delivered In this city in six days. ship
ment OF cotton was made over this line by Messrs.
Lamkn Eggeston on the lstn ins ;S which n.n
Just four days interval This shipment beyond
doubt win be delivered In New York city on the oath
ns and could have reached lnat CITY two W., a Ns
York steamer, and was therefore compelled to re-
main In Charleston awaiting shipment by steamer
which left two days later The rates are as low a.
100 pounds first class freight, So ~; second class
AZ OH third class, 81 g. aud fourth class, 81 o. One
great advantage possessed by TINS line = that there
II only one reshipment between this city aud New
YORK, and that occurs at Charleston when trans
ferred from the steamer TO the cars.

RAILROAD KINGS Iy TIE SOUTH.
A Grand Tournament ON the Field Of a Cloth
Of Cotton.

From the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, Dec. ISL
Ring Wadley, Of the Georgia Central, mas just
added another feather to his plume. He stands be-
hind the Soutnwe stern Georgia and buys up con-
trolling interest in the Savannah and Gulf road The
result Of this purchase is to destroy all competition.
King Wadley can now charge what he pleases for
carrying cotton to Savannah from Macon and all OF
Central Georgia. Although he cannot buy up the
Chattahooche or the Alabama river, he can very
easily buy up the Alabama Legislature, and have
such a license put upon steamboats, as to
practically run them from the river. And
then, with controlling vote IN the railroad lines
from Savannah to Montgomery and Mobile, he can
charge what he pleases and reign as monarch of all
he surveys King waaey L. ho%ey Norn IA danger
stretched his down unto East Tennessee, and is
now getting cotton from Selma. We would not be
surprised to see the Norfolk king. capture THESE
domains of the King Of Savannah. Malone has EVIL
IDENTIFY 1anked Wadley at Selma, and will drain the
cotton region north OF the line OF the Alabama river
drawn due east and west between Selma and Mont
gomery. Now II General Malone VIII only help
us build q road from Montgomery to Lime
station, we will attach Mr.. OWENS road rs feeder,
and send our cotton bales to Norfolk instead OF
savannah. There Is only one way for King Wadley
to head or KING Malone, and that = to anticipate
sell. The two kings need not tear that anything
stands IN the way of their taking the contract be-
tween Lime station and Montgomery. 1t Is mis-
taken idea that II Montgomery cannot get all the

: The Women of the South.

If asked for my sublmest idea of what
women should be in time of war, would
point to the dear women of my people, as 1
have seen them during the recent struggle.
The Spartan mother sent forth her boy, bid
ding him return with honor-either carrying
his shield or on it. The women of the
South sent forth their sons, directing them
to return with victory, to return with wounds
disabling them from further service, or never
return at all. All they had was flung in the
confict-b0auty, grace, passion, refinement,
the exquisite frivolties SO dear to the sex,
was cast aside; their songs, if they had any
heart to sing, were patriotic; their trinkets
were flung into tho public crucibe; the car
pets from their floors were portioned out as
blankets to the suffering soldiers of their
country. Women bred to every refinement
of luxury wore home spun made by their
own hands. As nurses of tine sick, us angels
Of charity, as patient and beautiful house
hold deities, accepting every sacrifice with
unconcern, and tightening the burden of
war by their art and Establishment, and la
Dor proper to their sphere, the dear women
of the South deserve to rank with the high
est heroes of the erandest days Of the great
est countries.-JeferS0n Darts

AETLEss SIMPLICITY.-Oneo ofthe sweet
est incidents which we have noticed for many
a day-and one which shows the effect Of
early training, assisted by pure and uude-
filed Imagination has just fallen under our
observation. 1t is thus related: A lady vis-
tied New York city and saw on the side
walk ragged, cold and hungry little girl,
gazing wistfully at some of the cakes in a
shop window. She stopped, and taking the
little one by the hand, led her into the store.
Though she was aware that bread might be
better for the cold child than cake, yet de-
string to crafty the shivering and forlorn
one, she bought and gave her the cake she
wanted. She then took her to another
place, where she procured he shawl and
other articles CT comfort. The grateful crea-
ture looked the benevolent lady full in the
face, and with artless simplicity, said, '.Are
you Gods wife % Did the most eloquent
speaker ever employ words to better advau-
tage!
