The annual report given in full, elsewhere
in this paper of the General Manager of the
Burlington and Lamoille Railroad will be
found an interesting document and an en-
couraging one TO everybody interested in the
prosperity of our city as well as of the road.
That the recent contract with the Central
Vermont was eminently advantageous to the
Burlington and Lamoille is shown by the
fact that the tonnage transported from Bur-
lngton TO St. Johnsbury and TO the White
Mountains and points beyond increased from
1886, llj and 2,3O7, OPS pounds respectively
in eleven months Of 1878 Jan. dec. y
to s,34G, 200 and j, G91, 800 pounds, or total
of II, OBS, 020 pounds, in the corresponding
months of 1s79-an increase of about 175
per cent. Every pound of this merchandise
(some seven thousand tons in the aggregate)
was, be it remembered, bought in Burlington
Of Burlington merchants; and consequently
some idea can be formed Of the value of the

greater prosperity in the not distant future.

Senator Gordon's Resignation.

The following official communication from,
General John B. Gordon came to the Executive
Office like bolt out of the blue. Its coming
had not been heraldcd even by rumors, and all
to whom the news first found its way were in
credulous, and only became believers in its gen
uineness when there no longer room Tor
doubt. We give in full General Gordon's resig-
nation:
UNITgD STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, ID. e., May Is, 1880.
To Nts Erceitency Governor Il. IT, Cotguiu, At
SIR: ] hereby tender to you my resignation
as United States Senator from Georgia.
In taking this step nm simply carrying out
long cherished desire to retire from public life.
l have hitherto subordnated that desire to n
sense Of duty aud to my reluctance to leave the
service Of a noble and generous people who have
honored me with the most exalted station and
supported me in tho discharge Of its duties with
answering confidence.
Since April, l8G1-for nearly twenty years
my life hns been one Of incessant an xiety and
or great labor. For more than onc-half of that
long period, either in war or in public office, my
energies have been devoted 10 whit conceived
TO be tho welfare of the Southern people and the
best interests Of the whole country. And now
that the restoration of Louisiana and South Car
olina to the rights of scf-goverRment secures
to the entire Soath her full and rightful repre-
sentntion in the legislative department of the
Federal government, my most cherished object
III politics has been attained. l am left free
therefore to consult my inclnations and the i'm
perative interests of my family, without the
least detrimcnt TO the public service
give way TO some successor who will, trust,
serve the country with greater ability than my
self; but who, am sure, will not do so with
greater devotion or purer m olives. | am, most
respectfully, your obedicnt servant,
j. b. GORDON.
Immediately upon the receipt of the foregoing
letter, Governor Colq,.it sent the following dis
patch, hoping to procure its withdrawal:
MAY lS, 1SS0.-General John Is. Gordon,

Georgia, beg that you recall your resignation.
If you cannot do so Internationally, withhold it
mt least until the meeting Of the General Assem-

MR.. EDITOR Since my last communication
We have been blessed with genial showers OF
rain, which was much needed, and has starte the
crops of corn and cotton to growing off nicely.
There arc generally good stands of cotton, with
perhaps an increased acreage ever last year 8
crop.
Oats arc improving rapidly since the recent
rains. Wheat is now in the ear generally and
promising, with the exception of rust in places.
Cotton chopping is booming since the recent
rains.
There is nothing doing politically the farmers
are still too busy to bcstow much thought on
politics, except few budding candidates the
warm weather is bringing out and we think, lin
less severe political frost comcs, they will hc
in full bloom in few days, will then let you
know who tho Browns Store roses are, and we
hope to be able to have one or two of them on
North Pacolct u help and ornament TO our
community.
The health of our community is very good
now, AMI the Drs. are sitting around under the
shade, wearing very long faces and prognosti-
eating on the probability of the warm weather
bringing plenty of work for them to do ; but We
hope they will be greatly mistaken this year.

of We. Noriah Seminary, has his school in flour

EDITOR UNION TINES The Democratic Club
of Jonesville met on Saturday last at41 A. NJ
The hall was not so crowded rs on previous SIM
liar occasions, owing, probably, to the amount
of work which the farming community had to
attend to.
After balloting for some time, w. 7. Little
john, Esq, was elected President for the ensu-
ing two years, and ON taking the chair he ten
dercd his thanks to the Club aud made quite
an impressive speech on the political situation
of the County and the probabilities of the COM
ing campaign, which was duly appreciated by
the attentive audience.
On the first ballot for Delegates to the County
Convention, Messrs. w. 7. Littlejohn, F. C.
Halle and W. A. Smith, were elected with, ut
opposition. There being no further business

The Methodist Church building, since the
green blinds have been put on, makes a neat
and imposing appearance and shows to great
advantage.
The Union Meeting commences on Friday at

tion takes place. 1t is presumed that the church
will be crowded to its utmost capacity TO hear
