Most persons, I think, will be disap
pointed with the scenery of Echo Can
on, though it is really grand and beau
tifun Owing To some optical delusion,
probobly the elearness of the atmos-
phere, and the consequent distinctness
with which details of form and color
can be distinguished in the distance, as
we'll as the homogeneous structure of
the rock precipices thousaLd feet
do not impress one at first as very high;
and it seemed to me that manya coun-
try highway of New England wound
among higher hills and under loftier
cliffs The scenery, like Niagara disap-
pointing at first, but il increases In mag
nitude rapidly after little comparison
and reflection. AT first, persons will be
likely to think the Cheat river scenery
on the Baltimore and Ohio Road, or
the scenery about the west of Kittan-
ming, Point on the Pennsylvania Central
grander and more interesting.
One keeping watch, will find many
things novel and entertaining by the

Billiards ExtraortkiEr ary.

j NJ. Desire, who is undoubtedly the
finest billiard player on the continent Of
Europe, has been summering at OStepd !,
and his performances at the billiard
table have attracted no little attention
there. He is large, fat man, over
fifty y ears Of see, with a somewhat bald
head, and eyes framed IN curious liues,
as if every muscle and ligament about
them had boen for years made to do
duty in giving him the greatest exact
ness of vision. He plays equally we'll
with the left hand as with the right
and the precision with which he strikes
ball from above, indicates that he is q
master Of the cue. Among various
fancy strokes which he executes is to
shoot all three balls in succession into
the mouth of a basket, just large enough
to receive ball-the basket being hold
SIX or seven inches above the cloth
Another is to place hat in the middle
OF the table with ball beside it, the
third ball being placed against the cush-
in from which he plays, at his left hand;
he than sends his bail against that
beside the hat, SO as to make it 20
completely around the hat and come all
the way back to strike that which is at
his left haud against the cushion.

most touching each other-thc player's
ball being ut one end of the series mos
persons would dismiss the idea Of secur-
ing carom as simply impossible. But
it is situation in which NJ. Desire
uover fails to score. lIe hits his bal
so as to make it run quite around the
ball next to without touching it
and then curve back again and strike
the two balls.

SATURDAY. SEPT. 81, 1873.

The financial panic which has shaken
the commercial North has, we believe,
been even more disastrous here at the
South. At tho North the sufferers
have been mostly bankers, brokers' and
speculators generally in other peoples
money. Hero, the fall i'll the price of
Cotton has been felt in the pocket of
every farmer every business an in
every profession. We have had no
exciting kilograms, no startling editor
ials, upon the subject of our losses, but
the misfortune has come straight h ome to
every man. woman and child. At the
North few have been damaged save
those who were engaged in occupations
which are not required for the we'll
being of the community-which are, in
fact; prejudicial to that we'll being,
With us, Agri culture has suffcrcd-the e
"most useful, the most general, an d the
most noble employment of man" And
yet our misfortune has been a direct
result of the Northern panic. Our
healthy and natural business has suffer-
cd because tho unhealthy and unnatural
occupation of few Northern specula
tors has come to disastrous yet logical
end.
Let the South learn lesson from ali
this. Let her be independent of all
classes at the North save tho consumers.
Let her raise her own bread and meat
as she easily can, even if she makes n
million less bales of Cotton per annum
in consequence-for she will be paid as
much fof three million bales as for four
millions. Then let her manufacture at
least one half of her Cotton, and she
need ask no odds of the world or of any
part of it. And if she must have
"p,ncs," she may have them of her
own raising and under her own control.
let us have everything "home mad" -

decision delivered by Judge II. A.

Once More.
Mr.. EDITOR In your issue of this morn
ing new correspondent, "Citizen," of Gar
diner, comes to the fore, with direct chal
lenge to me. inasmuch as he is not satisfied
to leave the question of license vs.. prohibi-
that concede the validity, expediency, and
efficiency of the prohibitofy law. On the
contrary, deny them all. | deny the valid
| ity, expediency, and efficiency of any law
| which is not only not enforced, but which is
practically treated with contempt.
Citizen says, "execute the law and the
work is done" Very good-so say |; but
why do not the friends of the law execute it :?
| The officials tell me that they cannot get any
of them to make complaint or to testify
against the sellers, so they are compelled to
do it themselves. The fear of retaliation and
| publicity produces this.
The prominent liquor sellers in Gardiner
| and Augusta have been indicted and convict
ed by the proper officers. They have been
| fined once or twice each, and are now SUBJ
| ject to sentence of imprisonment in the
| county JAIL under Sec 20, chap. 81, r. S.
At the last court they all plead guilty and got
| a continuance for sentence. Perhaps Citizen
| can tell me why they were not sentenced.
Perhaps the friends of the law will see to it
| that at the next term of court they do get sem
tence, and are sent to prison. When that is
done we shall know the Law to be efficient,
| and Citizen will be at liberty to bury ''the
| stale, stupid and false assertion" that public
opinion will not sustain the constituted au-
thorities in enforcing the law.
| would remiAd my friend that have no
power to enforce the law, beyond that exer-
cised by all other citizens, to wit, the power
the law. This have done, repeatedly, with
very little ultimate effect. The seller PAYS
his fine and goes on with his destructive work
What want is law that will shut that man
up. And this brings US TO the license ques-
ton again. Citizen asks il il will be any
| easier to enforce license than a prohibitory
law. That can only be decided by trial, and
! if the latter is impracticable, why not give the
| former a trial! Oar object is 10 stop crime and
| misery, which we agree in attributing, large
| ly, to the pernicious habit of drinking alco-
| mol. There will be no difficulty in the case
of the man who sells without a license. Ev-
erybodys hand will be against him, ard the
proposed law which shall prohibit him from
selling without license will be enforced. I
| have nothing to say to the moral conclusions
| Of Citizen; this is question Of law; there i.
| 40 dispute about the ethics. If these anony-
nous correspondents wish to know my opin-
ion, in the latter point of view, l am free to
say that think rum the cause of most of the
trouble we have on earth And it is for this
| very reason, wish to control the sale OF il .

A gentleman, evidently clergyman, who
in this city, writes thus pleasantly to the
Christian Mirror:
A group of choice friends make Augusta a
notably pleasant city in November as well as
IN any other month Among these is Dr. II.
VI. Harlow, for many years Supt. of the Asy
lum for the Insane. The number of his pa
dents is about four hundred. The Asylum
has now female physician who has skiltully
demonstrated what woman can do with
the science and practice Of medicine. Special
effort has lately been made to furnish the pa
tents with indoor amusements. The result
proves this wise policy. In fact, the whole
conduct of the Asylum as far as this is de-
pendent upon Dr.. Harlow, was never SO salts
factory as now.
The affairs Of the Sprague Brothers were
thoroughly canvassed in Augusta The tone
was hopeful, and subsequent events have jus
tilted that hopetulncss. The 700 employees
and the 50, 600 spindles are not to be work
less this winter.
Rev. J. H. Ecob, pastor of the Congrega-
iional church. has for a month been compel
led by sickness to re!inqush pulpit work. He
is now better and will soon be able to preach
again. His people are considerable of him,
ana IN granuly generous way 100. IL every
pastor had such a people and every people
had such pastor, what millennial peace and
good will would reign in our societies
