PARTIES s1E = IN THE fsourH.-The Nsw

PARTIES IN THE SourH. The New
York Herald notices how the late South
ern elections have thrown the radical
party into muddle, and goes on to con-
slider what causes rhave brought ehout'
the present condition of Affairs. It attri-
butes the success of the conservative
Republicans to the fact that the Demo
Gratis have at length awakened to the ne
cessity Of ebating their ancient extremity
and recognizing all the results of the late
var, 50 far as it should be necessary to
the end, Of including Republicans Of a
moderate type to act with them, that they
might not. be forever shut out in the
cold. It asks what will be the effect of
these Southern events on parties in the
North, and says:
'It seemed at one moment as If they
were to be tremendously disastrous to
the Republicans by leading Northern
Democrats to act on the shrewd example
OF their Southern fellows. Witness the
nomination Of Rosencranz by the Demo
Gratis in Ohio: Fancy the copperheads
seeing some good in the hero of Stone
Pennsylvania, but the good impulse to
nominate Hancock failed of its point; for
Mr.. Packer is very rich, and rich man
is a wonderful thing in Pennsylvania.
Even despite the suspicion with which
the country very justly regards every
thing that now comes before it in the
name of Democracy, it is impossible not
to see that if the Democrats should make
their appeal on such names as Hancock
and Rosenoranz-names' that guarantee
the grand points of patriotism and un-
swerving fidelity to the national unity
they would seriously trouble the Repub-
hcans in all the great States. Indeed,
this possibility, in view of what has lust
taken place in the South, has thrown the
Republican leaders into no little alarm.
They are in semi-demoralized state,
with the consciousness that their party
has, in great degree, lost its affinity
with the popular will, and the fall elec-
tlons In the great States must be over
before any man can be certain that they
have not abundant cause for their unea-
siness,"

TR1PLETs TO YOUTHFUL MOTHER.
A correspondent of the Savannah Re
publican, writing from Scriven County.
gives the following:
A good lady acquaintance of mine,
Mrs. B., OF this county, gave birth few
days ago to three fine, healthy boys,
which up to this time are doing finely,
and gave every promise Of being raised,
an ana possibly growing into great men.
Inc fact that the good lady is only some
hfteen summers old, and being the first
time she has given birth, and that her
mother gave birth at like tender age.
may be considered remarkable, and to
the scientific men interesting. A wag-
gish friend suggests that with this un-
usual arrival in Scriven, there is certainly
something ahead, probably squads.

FLYING .MAcHTNEs.-Shall we ever,
with all our science, succeed in trans
porting ourselves at pleasure through the
air. making that our pathway Just as we
do the grosser fluid, water, which we
traverse so easily in every direction ?
This is a question which we suppose
every one Of onr readers has asked him
self more than once, for the idea of
serial navigation is so natural that we
find every age of the world has more or
less discnssed It. Just now in San Fran.
cisco this Subject is attracting great at
tenaon, from the fact that the model of an
mrial ship exhibited there, and some ex-
periments made upon it, gave complete
satisfaction to the engineers present:
An, Al1Erist Navigation Company has been
formed dor the landable purpose Of rails
ing funds to enable the protector to con-
strhct q full sized air ship. This will be
completed. 1t is expected, in about a
couple OF months, when the seronauts,
if successful, intend paying us flying
visit all the way from the shores of the
Pacific. The Avitor. as the new inyen-
tion lis named. is to be propelled by
steam, carrying for this purpose five
horse power steam engine, and is to be
elevated and supported in the air partly
by gas and partly by planes extending.
on, each side to the distance of about
twenty feet at the centre. These planes
will be so constructed in sections that
they may be depressed or elevated by
the radder at pleasure. The well-known
and fatal objeotlon to balloons, that they
are the nero sport of the winds, having
no propelling power within themselves,
is thus got rid OF. Balloons have been
chiefly found useful for scientific pur-
poses, observing the oscillations of the
magnetic needle and its dip, and expert
menting on the density, temperature,
humidity and electricity Of the air at its
different elevotions; but if this mrial
ship, the Avitor. prove as great sue
cess as many III California anticipate, we
arc on the eve Of a complete revolution
in our mode of travelling.

A WONDERFUL ACRE OF CoTToN.-We
learned, yesterday, from n gentleman
Just up from Eufaula, that the stalks,
bolls and squares in the brag acre of
cotton belonging to Major L. +. John
ston, near Eufaula, had been counted
within the last day or two, and that ly
close mathematical calculation, the
acre will yield at least five, and proba-
bly, eight, 450 pound bales of cotton.
Old and experienced planters who were
present and examined the cotton stalks,
said that the acre would certainly yield
five bales, and with favorable weather
and close picking seven bales would pro-
badly be obtained. This is most fabu. e.
lous statement, but we are assured that
it is true. Macon Telegraph.

~ REMaRKABLE RAILROAD EscApEs-
There was narrow escape from aihorri-
BILE accident at the crossing of the Cam.
den and Atlantic and Camden and Am
boy roads, at Camden, one day last week.
AS large excursion train on the Atlantic
road. neared the crossing the fagman
signailed that all was right, and the
heavily. loaded train kept on. When it
was near the crossing special train on
the Amboy road came in sight around
the curve, approaching at high speed
The fagman instantly displayed the red
flag, but neither train could stop. Most
fortunately one of the brakemen on the
excursion train had the remarkable pre-
sence of mind to cut the train and put
the brakes down on the cars cut off,
which go slowed them that q gap in the
train was formed just at the crossing,
and the Amboy train dashed through
and no injury was done. But for this
the loss of life and mangling of bodies
that must have occurred would have
been fearful beyond description. There
were 1000 persons on the excursion
train.
On Friday, MS the noon express train
on the New Haven road, bound East,
was nearing Westbrook, the engineer
discovered COW on the track. He in
stantly blew tho whistle for brakes, upon
the sound of which dozen cattle rushed
upon the track from the adjacent bushes
1t being impossible to stop the train, tho
engine dashed among the animals, kill
ing five outright, cutting one into halves.
Fortunately no one was injured, but the
shock to the train must have been terri
fic. "A passenger says that the locomo-
tive leaped several feet into the air.

ONLY THIRTY DAYs.-The gallant Gu
bans say that in thirty days after they
are recognized by the United States Go
vernment they will have possession Of
the whole island of Cuba outside the
walls OF Havana. Only thirty days to
accomplish this result, which is equiva-
lent to. the independence of the colony
and its speedy annexation to this eoun-
try. But the President and Cabinet
have postponed even the consideration
OF this question of recognition for half
thirty. days. in order that they may
"hnish up" their summer recreations
and receive further intelligence from
Spain. What a pity!
