Millions of Fish.
T...s..syy. o., ...,,s- -

There was fun in the Ohio river Just
below the dam Thursday evening. About
O'Clock the labOrers at work on the dam
succeeded in getting the gates raised,
which, of course, banked up all the water
above them, and let the water
below run of, leaving nothing but the
bare rocks. with here and there innumer-
able small holes. AS the water receded
all of the fish between the dam and the
bridge were left in the shallow pools of
water. They numbered thousands and
thousands, and were of every description,
from the half-pound perch to the 50-pound
buffalo.
1t soon became noised around among
the fishermen who infest the falls that the
fish had been left high and dry, and in less
than halt an hour fully 200 men and boys
were wading around in the pools of water
gathering up the fish by the armful.
COrnered as they were, and knowing
escape was impossible, the fish in some
instances made a desperate resistance.
Many a man had his lower limbs hnned in
a dozen places; causing painful and really
dangerous wounds. Armed with clubs
and rocks, reckless boys Waded in among
the fish, slaughtering them right and left,
until the pools of water turned almost to
gore. BoatlOad after boatload of fish as
fast as captured was sent ashore, and if
any speculator is playing in the bucket
shops he had better 'buy shOrt' this
morning, for to-day fish In the Louisville
market won't be worth a cent pound.
Tucked sleeves, fitted very closely of
the arm, the tucks an inch and halt
wide at the shoulder and decreasing In
size as they reached the elbow, were seen
upon a number of handsome Partisan
dresses recently sent to NeWpOrtN

New Orleans he executed people without the

citizens that President Lincoln was compelled

throughout New England.

A Railroad in Eaiugham County

A Railroad in Efiingham County.
4 call was made in yesterdays MORN
ING NEWS for a meeting at Springfield,
Bingham county, on Saturday next for
the purpose of considering the question
OF building a railroad from Springfield to
Guyton, NARROW, Tusculum or some other
point on the Central Railroad. The Cen
trail passes along the extreme western
boundary Of Effingham county and the
proposed road would run almost at a
right angle with that road. The dis
lance from Springfield to GuytOn is six
miles. and the country between the two
points very level. A railroad could
therefore be built at a very small cost.
Efinrham county is one Of the oldest in
the state, and has a population of 5,9T9
"a. a2S whites and ,, 75l colored). 1t is 30
miles in length ana 16 miles in breadth,
and contains $50 square miles. Its white
population are a sturdy and industrious
people, and noted for their integrity; law
suits being almost unknown. 1t is a
very healthy region, so much so
that Guyton, Springfield, and other settle
ments are used as summer resorts by
people from the coast. The soil is fairly
fertile, but as will be seen by a COMPARE
son of the area of the county with its
population, it is not thickly settled,
and that there is therefore a
large area of timber and pasture land.
The PRODUCTS of the county are cotton,
rice. and sugar cane, and vegetables and
fruits of all kinds. A railroad would do
much towards developing the county,
and every Improvement would be benefi-
cial, not only to its people, but also to Sa-
vannah, with which it does all its Dusi-
ness

The proposition TO place Prohibition

meet with any considerable eOuntenance
nom the temperance people Of Georgia.
Prohibition is almost universally recog-
nized in this State as a local and moral
question, to be decided by each cOmmu-
nitv according to the necessities and SEN
timents of thePeople. ItwOuld be crime
against temperance to force prohibitory
laws on a community where they could
not be enforced. The great progress Of
the temperance cause in Georgia is due
