Lord Airlie, without repl ing, dropped
his knife and fork and retired from

the place seemed to be all in confusion,
and learned that Lord Airlie, after

The cause for the recent heavy
demands for Confederate bonds re-
mains unexplained. At first it was
said that the Confederate govern
ment had a large deposit OF gold in
the Bank of England when the Con-
federacy collapsed, This turns out
to be untrue, and when we stop to
think about it we can scarcely re-
frain from laughing at ourselves for
ever giving the slightest credence to
such story. We rarely hear of
one who goes naked and hungry who
has a deposit in the bank. And we
know that, in its last days, the South
ern Confederacy was both. It was
poverty personifed for several months
before it shuffled off it's mortal coil
But the bonds are being sold all the
same, and the mystery remains unex
planned. The supply will doubtless
be equal to the demand. Many of
them have gone into the waste basket,
doubtless, and have been worked
over at the paper-mills, but there are
plenty of them left. There is nc
telling how many were issued. II
we knew how many printing,presses
were used for that purpose and theil
capacity, we, perhaps, could tel
something obout it.

Augusta Chronicle November 4.
A meeting of the directors of the
Augusta and Knoxville Railroad was
held Yesterday, at the office of Pres
ldent Verdery. All of the Augusta
directors, with the exception of
Messrs. NJ. A. Stoyall and j. v. H.
Allen, were present. Messrs. Brad
ley, Middleton, Aiken, Riley, Neil
and Buckhalter were in attendance
from South Carolina. The reports
of the finance committee and of the
treasurer were very satisfactory and
the directors expressed them
selves as much gratifed with
the condition of the road.
The gross receipts from freight and
passengers, SO far, on twenty miles
of road, foot up over $4,000 This
is a capital showing when it is con
sidered that the greater part of this
business has been done since the
1 track was laid across the river.
Chief engineer Kirk, of the At
lantic and French Broad Railroad,
and president Latimer, Of the Sa-
vannah Valley Railroad, were in the
J city and held conference with the
board of directors.
j The object of their visit was to
secure, ii possible, aid from the Au-
5 %gusta and Knoxville Railroad to
able them to complete the grading
D those roads, They say that com,
paratlvely small amount will finish the
grading, and the roads can then he
bonded to purchase the iron. The
B Savannah Valley Railroad connects
with the Augusta and Knoxville at
Dorm Mine and extends to Ander-
SON. tifty-three miles. Nearly half
y this road-twenty miles-has
eeh graded. The Atlantic and
