MASLFACrURElCS Of
day, was most gratifying in every
iwrticular. The attendance was large,
and included the leading citizens of
this vicinity and of the counties in
terested. It was truly un enthusiastic
meeting. Nearly every store in town was
closed, mid all scented animated not
only hy a desire to see the road built,
hut with a determination to build it.
North East Georgia has been looking
for years to the Legislature, to the
Georgia railroad, ami to other sources,
tor aid in getting railroad communica
tion, and is determined to wait no
longer. The jieople have taken hold
in earnest, and all classes are taking
stock. Even many colored jteople arc
oflering to take stock and work it out.
The reliable subscriptions already made
amount to over 88011,000, and most of
the larger subscriptions will he greatly
increase <1.
The Board of Directors, whose names
will lie fotind'elsewliere, are a sufficient
guarantee „f the solid diameter of the
enterprise. As hits lieen remarked,
they are aide to hnild the road them-
selvns. They will certainly be able to
command all needed resources.
The elect in.i of Col. Campbell Wal
lace ns President niu-t lie regarded
most -fortunate. As a practical rail
road mail lie has no sujierior, and few
«s)uals in the South. The other officers
are men of the right stamp. Mr.
Bloomfield as Vice President, will
throw Jus gnat energy into the work ;
Mr. Moss, as Treasurer, is the right
man in the right placeand Mr. J. A.
Crawford will fill the position of fsoere-
tary and Book-kee]icr most efficiently.
We learn that a corps of engineers
will lie put on the line at once, and
within less than ninety days active work
will commence.
Much surprise was expressed at the
apparent indifference of Augusta and
the Georgia railroad. Possibly by the
time the road is built to the Air Line
they may begin to nuke up, and lidp
tap the rich region beyond ’the. Blue

Clark and Jackson counties nOdnllo meet the
requisition* of the company, viz: 8100,000 in pri
vate subscriptions, besides #10,000 subscribed by
the town of Albans.
Some of the subscriptions are conditional; those
made at Jefferson are on the condition that the
mad shall ran by the tray of Jefferson; and those
at Harmony Grore and at llomer. Banks county,
am on condition that the road shall raa by oneef
those places. The uncondlUonal subscriptions are
■fully up to'lhe amount required to authorize the
pcrmanent'nigznlzatlon of tbo company.
There art-also large subscriptions in lumlwr, cross
tics, and laboTwhlch arc not included in tbeabore
sums. Several subscription books, from Jackson,
Habersham and Itabun counties have not yet been
returned l>ut are ex)ieeted to come in to day which
will nuke up the amount of subscriptions to $200.-

Your committee found that the requisite amount
of private subscriptions had been obtained before
tr.illiug this convention, aud it affords them great
pleasure to state that the pis,pie all along tlic line
are hilly awakened to the importance of the great
work we have undertaken and are subscribing
liberally, and we have now no doubt of the final
success oi the enterprise.

Another New Departure.—
Chevalier Forney is about to organize
the African wing of the Radical party.
In his Philadelphia Pees*, of the 7th
iiwt., lie makes the following announce
ment :
“ For the puri>osc of more thorough
organization and united effort, an ad-
tlftew has lieen issued to the colored
citizensol the States of Alnliama Arkan
sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mary
land. Mississippi, Missouri, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Vir
ginia, West Virginia, and the Territo
ry of Columbia, inviting them to send
delegates—one from each Congression
al District—to meet in convention at
Columbus, (Columbia?) South Caro
lina, on the 18th of next October.”
Of course the Radical party, or the
Government, which is the same thing,
will defray the expenses of the negro
gathering. This movement is design
ed no doubt, on the part of the Radi
cals, to prevent the darkies from being
caught by the new departure of the
Ohio and Pennsylvania Democrats.—
Politics in this country are beginning
to assume a rather dark aspect.
The Northeastern Railroad and Augusta
A convention of the persons interest
ed in building the Northeastern Rail
road from At Urns to Clayton, will meet
in Atlieus tit-morrow morning. A
very large attemlance is expected, and
the oonvcntiiHi will not nd}oura until
a plan for the speedy completion of
this most important line is matured.
Augusta feels as much interested as
Athens in the good work, and will be
fully and ubly represented in the con
vention. On last night his Honor
Mayor Estes appointed the following
delegates from Augusta:
From the City Council—Aldermen
Thomas G. Barrett and DeSaussuro
Ford.
From the Citizens—Messrs. Henry

the names of stockholders he col led,
which was adopted.
Col. Mitchell moved the appoint
ment of a committee on proxies, which
wm» adopted. The clmir appointed
Capt. A. S. Erwin, W. T. Howard,
R. L. Moss, J. 3. Trumbull, Dr. W,
B. J. Hardman.
< )n motion of Col. Mitchell, the
Secretary read the charter of the North
Eastern Railroad Company.
Mr. R. L. Bloomfield, in addressing
the convention, remarked that the im
portance of the enterprise is not prob
ably fully appreciated. The West is
becoming an important manufacturing
center. Articles from wood, iron and
leather are manufactured in the West.
We want a Western outlet, and above
all another outlet. A liale of goods
front Augusta to Philadelphia costs
SI 75; from here it is 84 90. Give
us this road, and we have another out
let to Philadelphia. Railroads make
their own commerce. The receipts of
the road from Athens to Union Point,
according to the report of the Georgia
xviiiroau, in-10 io were 8112,835—one
tenth of all the earnings of the road,
200 miles long. The expense of run
ning is much smaller in proportion to
length than any other jMirt of the road.
The receipts c.t Athens are cue half as
large as at Atlanta. The, passenger
list is one third of wliat is received at
Atlanta or Augusta.
The North Eastern road is destined
to open up a new through connection
to Cincinnati and Chicago, when bacon
can be laid down here at SI 00 a hun
dred, and manufactured goods returned
at SI 50 per bale. This will develop
manufactures here. There is no reasou
why we cannot compete with the North
or West or the world in manufacturing.
At present the South has no home mar
ket. Railroads help to develop such
markets. Railroads draw commerce
front the coast, and that is wliat has
given importance to Atlauta. Rail
road facilities will give Athens equal
advantages, and add largely to its com
mercial importance.
We can build the road with the re
sources at hand. The Georgia road
can run it tit a very small addition to
the cost of the road to Union.Point.
He alluded to the proposition of Mr.
Grant in reference to the construction
of the road, and declared that there is
i no longer a doubt about building the
road, and buikliug it at once.
The committee ou proxies rejiorted
.595 sltarcs represented in person, uud
1975 shares bv proxy—1079 shares in
nil.
Col. Mitchell referred to the rcsourct a
from which to build the road. The
amount of stock represented here is
most gratifying—807,000 more than
was requisite to make a beginning—
and it was particularly gratifying to
find so litany small stockholders. He
thought it would be easy to increase the
local subscription to 8200,009. He
thought the road could be built fur
810,000 a mile; 75 miles would make
the cost 81,125,000.
Xr. Bloomfield.—Mr. Grant 'states'
that the road can be built and equipped D1 ^2 1 ft ® r '
at 815,000 per mile. The vote
Col. Mitchell then stated that at the
outside 81,200,000 would build qhe
road. He thought the Georgia Rail
road would not suffer, to coma and ino-
nojiolize this enterprise. He thought
tlrnt road could at least 1* relied on fbi-
8200,060.
-17r. Bloomfield.—The -stock already
subscrilted is 8300,000.
Col. Mitchell thought Augusta would
take hold of the enterprise.. An Au
gusta paper had well termed it au Au
gusta enterprise.- 8200,000 for Au
gusta would make 8500,000. With-
this much cash at comtmutd and in
vested, With, the endorsement of the
Geoigia Railroad, the balance of $600,-
000 or 8700,000 can be raised; These
arc our natural allies. They pro the

ing the people along the line with the
enterprise.
Dr. R. I). Moore rose to endorse the
j—jMMMfaiwIlill ni-Uak
Mitchell. This company is composed
chiefly'of planters.’ We have a de
lightful climate and tnriiiuited water
power. All that is -needed to, uppre-
ciatc the value of lauds is to secure
railroad communication. Open this
great avenue, and population will flow
in, and a demand will lie created, not
only for lands but for stock and every
thing that can be raised or manufac
tured.
Capt. McMillnu moved that we now
proceed, to tho election of officers, which
was adopted.
Col. Mitchell moved that the uuntber
of directors be seventeen, Which was
adopted.
Dr. R. M. Smith moved that a com
mittee front each county be selected by
the Chair to propose candidates for Di
rectors, which was adopted. The Chair
appointed A.' S. Erwin, Esq., of Clark,
Pope Barrow, Esq., of Oglethorpe, W.
C. Howard, of Jackson, A. C. Moss,
of Banks, and Garnett McMillan, of
Habersham.
A call was made on Capt. McMillen j
who addressed the convention briefly, j
His mind had not been given to the
investigation of railroad questions. '
The water power of our section, its
j mineral wealth and pure nir, have all
been referred to, ahd he need not reite
rate reference to them. What we need
is work—money—and not speeches.
Inaddition to$107,000tolie voted here,
he felt almost authorized to cast the
vote of $40,000 more. The ]*eo]tlc of
Habersham have subscribed fully that
amount of good reliable stock, aud he
liad been infurmally authorized to act
as their proxy. But they hud not ]>aid
the instalment called for of 81 00 a
share; if he voted the stock he should
feel bound in honor, if not in law, f>r
that amount of stock. Matty of these
subscribers had conditions to pay when
work was commenced in the county.
The people of his section were very
zealous for this road until a few weeks
ago, when the air line was located
through the count-' - . He felt safe in
pledgiug that the people of Habersham
woulddoas muchasanycounty through
which the road would pass. He sug
gested that an effort would be made to
jaaaal ,manv„nf-thainlm«s«»-' «*?-—'‘'i**.
State aid had been voted. It is iut-
Be we must not depart too much. * So
to speak, there is os much danger in
getting too far away as Staying too near.
There are nnddle-grolinds which it is
the best policy to occupy. The trouble
is that some of our party want to ac
cept too much, and others don’t want
to accept anything. It should uot be
t'.ie policy of theDetnoeticy to threaten
to use force against the reconstruction
acts, or against the recent amendments.
There is a lawful and constitutional
remedy^ for every ill. Our party is a
party of peace, of law, of order. We
want no violent measures. In my
opinion the letter of Frank Bluir to
Broadhead at the eve of the presiden
tial campaign did a great deal of harm.
Why? Because it wis so written as to
be construed into a threat that in case
the Democracy came into power they
would use force against the reconstruc
tion acts. Now, we should not threaten
force; nor anything likejt. -There is a
peaceable remedy, ( andobat remedy is
m ccmvimiin^ the people that the last
two amendment's to the Constitution
and the reconstruction acts are wrong.
It is within the province of the people
6) alter these things if they will. The
true policy is to accept all these things
as accomplished facts, but at the same
time leave ourselves free to hereafter
urge their abrogation ;U the barjof reason j,
aud justice, i have always had great
faith in the good sense and intelligence
of the American people. We must
appeal to them to remedy these evils,
hut to do it in a lawful and constitu
tional way. Another amendment can
be adopted that will do atvay with the I
evils of the best two. I Lave no faith |
in a remedy through the courts. It

.Mr. Bloomficldstated that Mr. Grant
had'advised that state aid be declined.
This work will Ite begun this fall, that
is a fixed fact; and if the Legislature
takes away the aid granted, let them
take it. We can and will build the
road even without State aid.
Col. Matthews of Oglethorpe, being
called on, regretted that he could not
make a more favorable report from his
county. The people tliere were in-
dined to regard this enterprise as
chiefly important to Athens ;tnd the
region beyond : and to invest in old
paying stocks. He thought that when
the success of the road was assured,
there would be some stock taken by
them. He thought - the Georgia road
would aid this enterprise. Other com

new feeders, or sec their stock decline.

Frequently they have both come in to

stood back and let /Sherman do the
talking. The little ffeHow felt his in

HANCOCK FOH FXtESIDUNT.
You tliiuk, Mr. Johnson, that
there is no prospect that the Democra
cy will take Sherman ?”
“No, they will not be apt to take
him. Generally speaking, I atu op
posed to a military man on the ticket;
but if it is necessary that we have one,
why not take General Hancock ? He
is a soldier, a statesman, a scholar, and
a gentleman. He is a noble specimen
of a man anyway you take him, physi
cally or mentally. There is no com
parison between G rant and hint. Giant
is no man; be is nothing.”
“ It seems to tuefMr. Johnson, that
the Democracy have a golden opportu
nity to win next year ifthev will act
sensibly.”
“ Yes, so they have, as you say, if
they act sensibly. But will they?
There are men in the South, especially,
who are coutinually committing blun
ders. Now, look a’t thewtpeech of Jeff.
Davis, recently made at Augusta, in
which lie talks about the lost cause and
all such foolishness. Tha't will be
trumpeted all over North, to irighten
men away from the Democratic party.
I' have no doubt hut what fiis Selma
speech contributed much towards our
defeat in Connecticut.”
