STEAMER UNDME, CeosA RIVER,
EN- ROUTE FROM Rome, GA, TO GADsDEN, ALA.
For the last two weeks my wanderings have
been amid some OF the most fertile valleys OF
Georgia and Alabama. Some forty years sncs
these banks were the red mans; now they are
the homes Of civilization and culture, but DOW
OF only comparative wealth aud comfort. Here,
as elsewhere through the sunny South, the
wlpt Of labor, both as to quantity and quality,
is felt, aud especially difficult is it to obtain suf
icient servants, consequently the daughters
even of wealthy planters have much Of the
household arudRery to perform.
I left Rome this morning at seven o'cl3ck
and am now gliding down the Coosa with a
swift but gentle motion that is delightful, and
| after days and weeks spent upon the hot and
dusty cars, I find this mode Of seeing the
country preferable by far 10 any other that I
have tried; and yet at no distant Cay railroads
will have displaced entirely these stately walk
ers of the waters. am not surprised to find
what is known as the Cherokee country, lying
in the states of Georgia and Alabama, has
been largely settled by South Carolinians, for
indeed it is goodly land to dwell in. The
planters on the banks Of this stream laugh at
the idea Of using commercial manures, asltheir
lands will yield bale of cotton to the acre, aud
fifty bushels OF corn can be made in good sea-
sons Clover and the grasses flourish here and
repay handsomely those who have the good
sense TO cultivate them, and am glad to be
able to say that the number Is increasing.
There is a great but silent revolution gong on
among the farmers, as they are having forced
upon them the fact that they must cultivate
less land, employing the best improved imple-
ments. and that they too Il. e. the farmers)
must read and keep up with the times, if they
would not be left behind in the grand march
OF progress It is pleasant 10 find 30 many OF
the Indian names still in use in this portion Of
the country, and as they are being adopted by
the railroad companies as names for their
stations, thoy will live through ages, soon to be
the only evidence thai the Indian ever inhabi-
ted this continent. The scenery aloog the
banks of the Coosa is pleasing, and in some
places. where the stream battles the foot of the
mountain, imposing. SEMLoH.

TIE COLUMBIA FIRE.

The Pheni1 OF yesterday gives this detailed
account OF the late fire:
The fire OF Sunday morning came near being
very disastrous as well as extensive, as 1t origl-
mated IN O thickly- built portion of the square;
majority Of the houses in the vicinity being
woodea structures. Fortunately, however,
there was but little wind, and the tremen were
nble to keep the flames under partial control.
The heaviest losers were Cooper & Taylor.
grocers-ln whose building the fire originated
their stock beng estimated as worth about
$15 0OO, upon which there was an insurance OF
$4,000 only. The progress Of the fire was 30
very rapid, that one OF the proprietors, who
slept in the store, barely had time to escape;
his watch and cash box, containing several
hundred dollars, being lost. Not one dollars
worth OF stock was saved. The building was
the property OF Mr.. William McGuinuis, and
was insured for $1200-about two thirds it's
value The building on the north, belonging
to Mrs. John G. Waller, occupied as bakery
by Messrs. D. McGuinnis d Co., and Messrs.
]. A. Hendrix & Bro, gr GERS. was also entire
" destroyed. 1t was insured for $500. Messrs.
McGunnis & Cos loss IN tools, fixtures, &C.,
amounted to nearly S1000-not insured. Messrs.
Hendrix's losses were covered by insurance.
The wooden building on the south was oc-
cuped by Mr.. and Mrs. Huffman as fruit,
soda water and candy store. and alao as a

insurance. The building was gned by Messrs.
Recklipg & Heidi, and was not insured.
Mr.. Joseph T. zealy's brick dwelling, on the
adjacent lot, WAS destroyed, together with o
quantity of furniture, upon which there was
no Insurance The fire among the ruins is
still burning. notwithstanding several heavy
rain storms have since occurred.
Mrs. c. Huffman was one of the greatest suf-
ferers by the fire. She has family, and is o
poor woman, lost everything b. the fre-all
her little stock OF goods and all her household
furniture. There was no insurance on her
property. Her loss e1cites much sympathy in
the community. She needs help. and we hope
that the charitable will not forget her in her
pced.

COLUMBIA, July 5.
The famous W. W. Sampson, accused Of
forgery, still langulshes in prison, notwith-
standing the fact that the circuit Judge has
allowed bail at the exceedingly low figures OF
$250O In each Of the two cases now standing
against him. 1t is understood that the
readiness with which the former bond of $4,000
was endorsed arose from an impression that
Sampson would be acquitted upon the techni-
cal ground which did prevail when the trial
came. But now it is more serious matter.
The way is not SO clear. One of these two
cases is Identical with the former case, but the
other alleges forgery that was done In all its
parts here In Columbia; so that there is no
room for technicalitles as to venue. Besides
it is known that other actions await the prison.
