Gov Smith, Of Georgia, has addressed letter
to the farmorB Of tho Wost. In which ho Hays that
tho four statos Of doorgia, Alabama, Florida, and
south Carolina, use every yoar 50,0o0,000 bush-
OILS more Of grain than they produce. They
must look to the Western farmers to supply tlia
deficiency; any attempt to raIso corn for them
selves would DO ut the expense Of their cotton
crops, and would cauHo them loss Of at least
s50,000000 yoar. Since 80 much of the grain
crop Of tho West must move southwarl, no
argues TINT all of It Ind better take tho same
direction. lie thinks Western farmers will mover
find the solution OF tho transportation question
in the charterlng Of moro railroads by congross !;
water transportation will alono suffice; and ho
belloveH that they will consult tlaoir own inter-
cuts in fayoring the Georgia Canal schome, to

MANAGEMENT OF THE JAIL.

1t is notorious fact that the county
Jail is overcrowded with prisoners.
There have been seasons when two m en-
at least have been placed in each cell.
The number of cells must necessarily be
increased, if discipline is to be yigor.
ously maintained if an epidemic is to
be avoided, Although the prison is as
neat as wax-not the least particle Of
dirt to be observed anywhere-yet an
epidemic might rage within those
whitened walls, and before we are alarm.
ed on this account, would it not be well
to prevent such possible con dition OF
things? Major Rose, director of the
board, with view of improving the
condition of the prisoners, and render
ing the Jail safer. yesterday offered a
resolution directing the committee on
public buildings to prepare plans for
the enlargement of the present jail-the
plans to be reported at the next meet.
ing-to be held on the first day OF
October.
There is no doubt but that the num-
Der of prisoners in the county Jail will
be increased during the coming winter.
We are located directly on the line OF
travel, and near. enough to Newark and
New York TO feel the effects of the pau.
perdom and misery of those cities.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RAILROAD.
The venerable Elijah Jordan, aged
ninety-three years, while walking on the
track OF the Pennsylvania railroad near
Murray street, yesterday afternoon
at about one o'clock, was struck by o
locomotive and fatally injured. Mr..
Jordan was at the time on the way from
his sons residence in Grier avenue to
get shaved. He stepped from one track
to another, and, in spite of the alarm of
the locomotive, did not get off the track
in time.
The train was stopped, and the man
picked up for dead, and placed in the
little shanty at the crossing. AS we
are informed, the door was provided
with spring lock, and of course closed.
The train went on its course, and the
fiagman was notified
| A number of persons gathered, and
broke the door open. The man was
found to be alive, although in a dying
condition. DR.. Younglove was sum-
moned, and Mr.. Jordan was removed
to his sons residence in Garden street,
where he died in about an hour. DR..
Younglove held post norton exami-
nation, and found that deceased sus-
tanned injuries on the head, legs, hand
and arm. Several ribs were fractured.
The doctor did all in his power for the
relief of the injured man, but he was be-
yond recovery.
