Dry Goods and Groceries, for merchants in
this town, which together with the Boat will
no doubt be entirely lost. The principal part
of the Goods we understand, were insured,
but the boat was not.
We learn that in ascending the river in the
usual channel, the Boat struck a snag that lay
concealed in tho water, which forced a hole
through the bottom and held her there: be

standing the exertious of all on board she
went down in twelve feet water with every
thing in her. Nothing but the cabin which
is in the upper deck remained out of water,

it will be favorable to the good cause.

The Rail Road—It has boon charged against us
of the South, by our more cool and calculating friends
at the North, that we are a people who always act
in great as well as small affairs, from the impulse of
tho moment—that we are soon hot and as soon cold
—quick of conception and ardent in. projecting
great undertakings, but that our energies become ex
hausted on those preliminaries and can carry ns no
farther towards their accomplishment. This' wc
must allow to be the case to a very considerable ex
tent. 'It is a characteristic of the inhabitants of all
Southern countries; and a knowledge of the fact no
doubt contributed in no small degree, to secure for
the great Napoleon, the brilliant laurels which en.
circles his memory. The French, like the Ameri
can Southrons, he knew, always acted more from the
Impulse of the moment, than from cool, calculfting
intrepidity—that their ardour when excited was as
irresistible and tremendous as it was evanescent and
floating—and hence his anxiety always to lead them
to the assault,and never hazard the chances of victory
by suffering an attack, and his irresistible onsets
generally decided the fate of the battle.
Could the people of Georgia six months ago,when
their attention was first called to the noble subject
of Rail Road8,have been led onjo tho assauIt,no doubt
like Napoleon’s invincibles.they .would have won the
battle; and we should, in all probability, have some
thing more real and substantial to boast of, than
what we fear will have “ to fill the measure of our
Ra.l Roid glory,” viz. the-ridicule of having project
ed a splendid work to burst like children’s bubbles,
and dissolve in empty, air. From feelings exhibited
but a few short months ego on this subject, in Gcor.
gia, one would have supposed that, even without
Legislative patronage, the people were determined
to have Rail Roads. Now when a charter has been
obtained as liberal, all things considered, as was ask.
cd’forby the company, we find few indeed whose
zeal has not fallen from blood heat down to zero.
We have been always deeply impressed with the
magnitude of the work under consideration, and of
the difficulties of accomplishing it. Yet, there was
a time when we did believe that the energies of the
people would prove adequate to the enterprize, in
the event that a suitable charter could be obtained
from the Legislature. We do not yet despair. Al-
though tho ardour of some of its friends like Bob
Acre’s courage, seems to be oozing out at their fin-
gorends,at the very time when something even more
than good wishes or a puff in aid of the wind work
of the undertaking is wanted, yet we believo there
is still'enough left possessing all tho requisites neces
sary for the commencement of tho Road. Tho first
step in all great undertakings, is the most difficult—:—
let the Road 'be once begun, and its entire success
may be reasonably calculated upon.
• Wc do hope that tho real friends of the enterprize,
those who have been and still are in earnest in tho
matter, will not allow themselves to be discouraged
by the failing energies of those who are either too sel
fish to “cast th eir bread upon the waters,"or too tin),
id to risk a little of tbeir filthy lucro, for tho attain
ment of a greater good. Let such rally to the rescue—
reassure the doubting—encourage the weak, and en
list tbe indifferent in the good cause, and all may
yet bo well. Every thing is now within our grasp—
wo have a good charter—a location wliich is said to
be equal to any in tho Southern country, and intelli
gence, and capital; and all that is wanting for the
consummation of an enterprize which will turn tho
jeers of the detractors of tho South into admiration
of our character—resuscitate the failing vigor of 6ur
towns and villages—change our worn out fields into
smiling fruitful farms, and developo new and un.
thought of resources of wealth, and happiness to tho
people, is energy and activity.
We can do but little towards tho advancement of
the good cause, but what wo can do shall bo freely
dono. Our columns shall be open for those who may
take an interest in the matter, and every facility of
fered them for enlightening and instructing the pub-
lie mind on the subject.
We havo on file several interesting articles well
calculated to advance the good cause, which wo arc
compelled to lay over for the present, on account
of tho great length of the charter itself, which we
deem at the present moment of higher importance.
Tho charter, we have no doubt, will be entirely satis-
factory to tho friends of the enterprize.

tion to stick to principles regardless of the twisting
and turnings of friends or foes, will, wo havo no
doubt, meet the warm and cordial approbation of* a

The letter of which the following is an extract,

of the old school, and a gentleman long and well,
known as a distinguished member of the Troup par

such men as the writer of it, wo will cheerfully, and
with good grace, submit to all the indignities reser

advancement of tho few, but to tho interests of the
many.
Principles and not party leaders, shall be tho pol

our faith to the skirts of no man or set of men, but
will give our warm and cordial support to all such
as believe with us in tho doctrines of STATE
