probable that the question OF bulldings or assist
ing to build railroad from point on iis line to
some point in middle West Florida, on the line
Of the road OF Florida Railway and Navigation
Company will be considered. The people Of
Savannah, as we'll as those OF Monticello and
Tallahassee and the country adjacent are, as has
been repeatedly shown by the Morning Nssos'
deeply interested in having road that Will give
them full control of the trade at middle west
Florida Monticello and Tallahassee each want
a railroad, and there Is no good reason why eacn
should not have one. II is not improbable that
the Savannah Florida and Western Railway
Company may conclude that il is to its interest
to help both cities to get what they want Two
satisfactory to Savannah than one, because .
greater extent of country could be reached and
its trade obtained
Savannah would help herself by helping both
enterprises, and doubtless will help both, but
nothing can be done without the active cooper
alton and assistance of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company, because OF the
er one or two roads shall be built or no road
at all, must finally be decided by that COM
pany.
Tallahassee is under lasting obligations
to the Savannah Ne,cs for the active and
powerful influence it has exerted in be-
half of our railroad enterprise. But while
we hope that the action of the meeting OF
the stockholders of the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Railway Company
Yesterday was favorable to our pro-
iected road, we would remark that
its construction is not solely DEEPEN
dent upon the assistance of that corpora
ton. BY its aid we might get our road
sooner, but without such aid we are quite
sure to have it at no distant day. 1t Is
not only an obvious necessity, but it is
such an important key link between two
great systems of railroad that the-prom-
Use of profit will certainly tempt capital
to invest. 1t is quite certain that it will
be the avenue of much traffic and travel
into and out of Florida, and it will pro-
badly be one of the best paying short
roads in the Southern country. 1t will
be the nearest way into Florida from an
extent of country which has population
of many millions, and as most travellers
who start for Florida want to get there
as soon as possible they will take the
quickest route. Fed by the Florida Gen.
trail at one end and the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western at the other, the Talla-
hassee road must necessarily do large
and paying business.

An Important Movement.

The Florida Chautauqua convened in animal
session on the Sd ult, at DeFuniak Spripes
Florida
Recognizing this movement as one of great
importance, and with view of encouraging and
sustaining all educational works in our State
the Florida Railway and Navigation Company
have made the very low rate of three cepisa
mile, round trip, from all stations on its lines to
DeFuniak Springs. This will make the nate
from Tallahassee but 1878 for the round trp.
and it is hoped that large number will see 1t
to avail themselves of this very cheap rate.
Tickets are now on sale at all stations, and win
be good to return until March Slst.
The management of the Florida Chautauoua,
with view of giving special consideration 70
educational subjects, plans and theories, have
set aside one week of the Assemb,,, commesc-
ing Tuesday. March I'd, to Teachers Institute
to which we have made a teachers and pupils
rate of only one cent a mile, round trio. making
9 rate Of but 41.35 from Tallahassee. Tickets
will be on sale February 9th, and good return
ing until March 18th. This rate can only h
used by teachers. school officers, County So
perintendents and pupils who will be REQUIRED
to furnish proper credentials
The Superintendent of Public instruction de-
sires this to be Teachers Institute and that an
teachers and Superintendent will attend. We
nave done our part to accomplish this end and
trust that every teacher in the State will make
It Q point to be there.

The State Teachers Institute began its
session at DeFuniak Springs on Tuesday.
We are informed that there are several
hundred teachers in attendance, and that
they are having most delightful and in
structive picnic . The teachers are from
all parts of the State, even sea-girt Key
West sending its representatives some
FIVE hundred miles to increase the grand
muster at the camp of the educational
army Of Florida. The town is crowded
with multitude of spectators or partici-
pants, including large proportion of
highly educated persons, and the atten-
dance will doubtless be well sustained
throughout the weeks that the Assembly
will continue. We print elsewhere an in
teresting letter from at. T. & g." our
Chautauqua correspondent.

past nine years, Chairman of the Committee Of
the General Convention on the Conservation of
Bishops, is being earnestly advocated for the va.
cant office of Bishop Of Florida, and deeire to
give my heartiest endorsement 10 this movement.
feel assured that the cause of the church in
Florida, and of the whole country, could not be
better subserved than by his elevation to this
position, not only because Of his long and faith
full services In the Masters vineyard. but also on
account of his jealous piety, profound learning
and universal popularity with all who know
him, irrespective of race or creed, and devotion
to the church and people Of bis State.

The committee from Tallahassee called on
several of our merchants yesterday for he pur.
pose of interesting them in the proposed railroad
from that city to Townsville or lsome other
point on the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway. While they received no definite prom
Uses, those who were called upon expressed them
selves favorable to the enterprise. A special
meeting Of the Board of Trade has been called
for this morning at II o'clock, for the purpose Of
giving the committee an opportunity to explain
object of their visit to our business men.
There ought to be a large attendance, as the
question Of better railroad facilities into Middle
West Florida is one of great importance to this
city.
We do not thinksthere is any doubt that If the
proposed road is graded and tied the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway will iron it and
operate it under a liberal and satisfactory ar
rangement. The first step to be taken is to or
ganize company to construct the road. II the
meeting to-day indicates an active support from
Savannah, no time should be lost in organizing
company and in getting the enterprise in bus
mess shape.

We record with pleasure the agreeable
impressions which have been made upon
the saddened minds of Mr.. Tait's Sara
sofa colonists, by the beauties and ad-
vantages Of Middle Florida. We are not
surprised that these serious, thoughtful
foreigners should have been delighted with
the counties Of Jefferson, Leon and Mad

press them in the varied scenery, the di.
versifed crops and thei fertile soil Of this
pleasant region. We trust that the
Ecotchmsn will settle there, and We are

20 rich soil, and 70 grow up with SEQ
lion whose prosperous future Is assured. -
