The Railroads..

II il conceded that 1871 was a year Of
remarkable railway enterprise. There
is some dispute in regard to the actual
number of miles Of track that was laid
down; but the lowest estimate shows a
wonderful amount of energy in the di-
roction Of internal improvements. The
number of miles of track laid down
was between S.2ll and 10000. This is
the greatest increase in railway facilities
ever made in any one year. The New
England States added 500 miles. giving
them n total of over 5000 miles now in
operation. The Middle States added
l,jOO miles: the old Southern States,
l.lGS: the Western States east of the
Mississippi, $500. West of the Missis-
sippi there are about 1900 miles now
in operation. The total for the country
is estimated at from 81, $50 to Gi.0W

McMimn County.

During the present week we have hnt
the opportunity OF meeting with goGC
many citizens from different portions o
the county, and are Glad to be able to
report the situation as satisfactory. Oul
people are more particularly concerned
lust now in attending to their agricnl.
tural and other industries but they arc
not ALTOGETHER cold and indifferent to
political Affairs, and seem to be deeply
impressed with the necessity for n tho.
rough change in the policy and admin
iSlrnlon of the General Government.
The dominant party has grown corrupt
and oppressive in the possession Of M
limited power through period Of ten
wears. and the best interests Of the coun-
try demand that the bad and reckless
men at lis head should be driven out
and II new era inGuguratcd. The period
is ripe for complete political rcvoIu-
ton through the medium of the ballot
box. aud nowhere else are the people
more generally impressed with this fact.

may safely calculate on favorable ac-
count from McMiun next Fail.

VIII There he War?

The intelligent correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution from Washington
SAYS:
There does not seem TO be the slight
est probability of this Government and
that Of Great Britain coming to an I'M
Outstanding on the Alabama question.
This government insists that its Claims
for indirect damages shall be presented
to the Geneva Conference. and England
persists in opposing their presentation.
The correspondence thus far is eminent
" peaceful l.. tone, but decidedly firm.
Meanwhile Congress will take no action
on the bills to carry into effect the fish.
cry claims Of the Washington treaty.
and the Yankee fishermen announce
that they intend TO arm themselves and
pursue their usual voyages. In this
event collision with the Canadian au-
thoriics is pretty certain TO cnsur, so
that Ben. Buffers constituents may drag
us into n war with England after all.
