The Savannah and Memphis Rail-
rnan

road.
Some time since we announced the
purchase by Colonel William NJ. Wad-
ley, Of this city, President of the Gen.
trail Railroad, Dr. Z. A. Flewellyn, OF
Macon, and other friends of the Central,
of the Savannah and Memphis Railroad.
running from Opelika in a Northwestern
ly direction to Goodwater. Alabama
As it stands st present, the value OF
this line as feeder to the Central Road
and TO this city is immense. II runs
through magnificent cotton country,
and will add materially to the cotton re-
ceipts Of on: port.
But, besides this, at Goodwster, its
present western terminus, there IS
a gap Of only about twenty miles,
over which, we learn, a line has already
been projected, and. we believe, par
tially graded, to some point on the
Selma, Rome and Dalton Railway.
We do not know when the purchasers
Of the Savannah and Memphis Road
propose filling this gap, but have no
doubt that they will do so as soon as
they think it advisable. When this is
done then the line will be in direct and
easy communication with the rich coal
and iron fields of Alabama, from which
the coal Of that section can be
transported direct to this city via
the Southwestern and the Central
Roads, or to Atlanta direct via the West
ern Railroad from Opeliks TO West
Point, and from thence via the West
Point and Atlanta Road. This. it is
needless to say, will efIectually avert any
future coal famines in that city; will do
away with the necessity for the construc-
ton Of the Georgia Western, over which
Atlanta has long been so much exercised,
while she, as well as Savannah, will en-
JOY the great benefits to be derived from
cheap fuel.
Invaluable as these advantages must
prove to our city, however, they are by
no means the greatest benefit which will
enure to US and to Georgia's great high
way from this purchase. A glance at
the map shows that it will give the Cen
trail Road direct and independent CON
nectioD with Chattanooga, Nashville,
Louisville, St. Louis and all points
West, and will thus afford
another line over which the vast grain
products Of that section can be poured
into the lap Of our city. The tremen-
dous increase in business to the Central.
and il commercial importance to Savan-
nah, which viii result from this connec-
ton, when it is established, can scarcely
be oYerestimated.
The purchase of this lIne-at figure,
we believe, Of less than $12, 900 mile
by Colonel Wadley and his associates, is
another proof of the wisdom and sagacity
of that gentleman. As We have seen, il
virtually makes the Central master of
the railway situation, and fortites that
great iron highway against any future
contingency likely to arise, for
though the Memphis and Savannah
has not been purchased by the
Central. it has been bought by
friends of. and parties identified with,
that corporation. And inasmuch az
what will benefit the Central must bene-
fit Savannah-since the policy of the
management of that line is to advance in
every way the interests Of this city-our
citizens have good reason to congratu-
late themselves upon this valuable &C
QUESTION.

A PORCELAIN FACTORY IN NEW Or.
LEASs.-The Times says: The porce-
lain factory of Messrs. Suigi & Estaupes,
on Carondelet walk, is a pronounced
success. The factory was started with
the idea Of getting the material required
for manufacturing porcelain ware from
Europe, but q fortunate discovery in
Texas Of the kind of clay needed renders
it unnecessary to bring material from
such distance. The ware manufactured
by Messrs. Suigi & Estaupes is Of a
very fine quality. AS this factory is a
home institution, we hope it will receive
announcement"

Although sorghum has not shown up
very fayorably in its contest with the
sugar cane Of the South, it is gradually
gaining ground in the Northwest. The
sorghum product in Minnesota last year
was about fifty thousand pounds of sugar
and fifty thousand gallons Of syrup, the
former selling in market at cents
pound and the latter at % cents a gallon.
In addition to this it IS asserted by its
cultivat0rs that more whisky can be pro-
duced from an acre Of sorghum than
from an acre Of corn. The latter fact
viii probably give sorghum its boom.
