Professor Smith of the university at
Tuscaloosa tells me that the state sus-
tanned an irreparable loss when the
museum was burned. 1t was at the close
of the war In fact, all the fighting
had ceased, when Colonel Croxton's
regiment of Federal cavalry neared the
city The university cadets turned out
and skirmished little with the caval-
ry, no one being killed, and the enraged
soldiers set fire to the buildings.
The geological collection was proba-
bly, the finest in America, as Alabama
was peculiarly rich in remains Of the
reptilian and mammalian ages. All
were destroyed, and most cannot now
be replaced, as they were the accumu-
lations of so years. IN iron, however,
it seems that the state can fulfill her
promises. When Senator Pugh said, in
1886, that she could make a good profit
and sell iron at 50 he was pronounced
rash, but they talk now Of doing it at
$3.50.
There is one subject. however, on
which all the gulf states join in exulta-
ton, and that is their claim that this
year they are self supporting in grain
and meat and will probably have sur-
plus. The commission houses declare
that in five years the imports Of corn
have decreased 20 per cent and Of meat
still more, and in the Georgia building
it is claimed that the state is now ex-
porting fat hogs Some other claims are
rather staggering to the faith Colum-
bus, Ga, says her trade has increased
over 400 per cent in ten years. Macon
says hers has doubled. Augusta has in
creased her cotton mills from four to
nine. Savannah reports her commerce.
