Wetumpka is oroWine.

A loyal citizen of wetumpka writes what he conceives to be correction of a statement made recently in these col umns by a facetious Wetumpkian that the beautiful Capital City of Fillmore was finished town
 T do not believe there is any small town in the State where the spirit of progress and improvement has a greater hold of the people than here in Wetump- ka." says this correspondent. "In the past few years there has been erected about fifty new residences, few of which would attract attention were they in the Capital City of the State, an electric light plant that furnishes electric lights for the business portion Of the town; the Fifth District School, one of, if not the best school of It's kind in the State where over three hundred students from every portion of the district are being educated and equipped for the duties of life by a corps of teachers equal to any in the State. There are several modern up-to- date business houses with iron and plate glass fronts now under construction. The streets of the town are being graded and graveled and otherwise improved by the city authorities.
 "Wetumpka Is not finished the spirit of progress has hold of the people and there are surprises in store for those who think she is dead"
 This writer shows the true Wetumpka spirit. He is proud of his contemplating lit- tie city and he has just right to be so.

aovernor Winston,s Message.

Tn Ine MOnlkOmCEy A4NCLllSck anu State Gazette of November 14. 1855 appear ed the message to the Senate and House of Representatives of Governor John Anthony Winston and the following clip pings from the editorial page of the paper of that date may be found interesting:
 I've submit this production of tine Gov ernor's message to the inspection of the reader He will find 1t characterized by just and enlightened views, and by that frank. lofty spirit for which its author Is distinguished. As a piece of compost ton 1t is free from the objection which has been so justly urged to many of the State papers of the day.
 Tt has no glitter of tinsel ornament, no studied array of tropes and metaphors. nor rhetorical fiourtshes It is a plain, unpretending, matter-of-fact document. presenting a clear view of the public affairs of Alabama, and suggesting such State action as, in the opinion or her Governor Is necessary ana 1vE proper ans Ss .ns e and acts like a sensible, practical states man. He always speaks right out and to the point, and his practice as a states man is always consistent with the pre- cepts of his messages and speeches.
 In the same issue this ancient Adver- tiser makes the announcement that 1t would during the session of the Legisla- ture issue a daily edition, the subscrip- ton price being p.S0 for the entire ses- sion. The editor also stated in an editorial that a few extra copies of the edition containing Governor Winston's message could be had by application at the office.
 Another interesting article printed m inc issue of the Advertiser and Gazette" on December ls, 1855. was a dispatch to The Mobile Register from its Washington correspondent who signed himself Argus" The dispatch was relative to the Governors message and read as fol- lows:
 ''The message of Governor Winston at- tracts much attention here. His views upon the slavery question are highly ap- niauded by the Democrats from the North. They say that if the South will only act upon the suggestion of the Coy ernor. and present an unbroken front In the defense of her rights. all will De rioht in inc North. Such course will stTsnothen the hands and hearts of those friends which the South has in the North in their struggle against the abolition ists"

Living Stones.

It is generally konwn that stones pos sess species of life in at least that they grow from small beginnings frequently to enormous size. There Is one stone 1T, particular, however, that seems endow- ed with a greater egree of life than others. It Is called the living stone'' and is found in the Falkland Islands. Those islands are among the most cheer less spots in the world. being constantly subjected to a strong polar wind
 In such a climate 1t Is impossible for trees to grow erect. as they do in other countries, but nature has made amends by furnishing supply of wood in the most curious shape imaginable. The vfs- itor to the Falklands sees scattered hero and ther singular shaped blocks of what appear to be weather-beaten and moss covered powders in various sizes
 Attempt to turn one of these bowl ders" over and you meet with a sur prise, because the stone is actually an chored by roots of great strength. In fact. you will find that you are foolinR with one of the native trees.
 No other country in the world has such a peculiar forest" growth, and 1t is said to be next to impossible to work the odd-shaped blocks into fuel because the wood is perfectly devoid of grain and appears to be e twisted mass Of woody fbers.
