If we have carried ' those two - coun ties, then, according to our calcnla-' uons, we wm nave a majority 01 tour. The contest is so close that it may' require the' official vote of every doubtful county to determine the re sult, but the chances seem to favor a small Democratic majority; A Noble Deed ' ' I Under the heading of "Alex. Hj Stephens Honor to Whom Honor is Due," the -Macon Telegraph ; and Messenger publishes the following1 editorial article: , ' f Although many believe, and per-! haps justly, that the Vice President! of the Southern Confederacy, enfee Uled by age and infirmity, should have retired for1 life to the quiet; shades of Liberty Hall, after the com-j pletion of his great historical work, yet few are aware of his aclive,living interest in passing events, and the noble benefactions of 1 this distin-; guished Georgian. ( The latter; have ever been characteristic of - the -man. JSelf-rnade himself, he- has - never failed to sympathize with those -who were struggling for" education' and independence, constantly extending to such a helping hand. Eternity alone will disclose how many have thus been elevated through- his agen cy from poverty and obscurity to po-j sitions of usef nines?, honor and trust in the State. No man was evermore, modest and- reticent in rthe - bestow-f ment of these kindnesses, or sought more diligently "to conceal them. These remarks are predicated upon a notable instance which, has . recently falleu under the observation of the writer, fully illustrating the 'charac teristic of the great statesman. 'Hie casa is that of young r -, in the University of Georgia.7 Sprung from an excellent and wealthy family, whd had been ruined by the war, ibis youth, ambitious, talented and yirtu u?, soaght in vain for the 'means to defray the cost of an education, and, when despairing of success, was taken up by Mr. Stephens andjiberally pro vided fon The matter was '.kept a profound secret,' however nor should have been mentioned here had it not somehow reached the ears of J his fel Ovf -students. His. name, however we suppress.

A, Bryson. of St, Louis, to construct an apron, $20 per lineal foot, to maintain it four feet above present bottom $34 per lineal foot to close New Inlet for $205,000. ; R. Q Ross and IL M.

No very correct judgment can be obtained of the cost of the work from the above prices, as .the plan of, ob struction for stopping the inlet and char acter of materials used in same by the dif ferent bidders, may vary greatly.
