ed to us tue opinion that the broad
rectors of the North-Eastern Road,
who sonic time ago, resolved to adopt
the broad gage. We do not think
their decision was necessarily final.—
New ligh! is every day dawning on the
question of narrow gage roads. We
i notice a statement that the Blue lliJgc
and the Gulf aud South Atlantic |>ort8,
it becomes important to cheapen the cost
of construction a.j much as possible
without destroying the cfliciency oftlie
line. We consider it an established
fact that a narrow gage road capable
of doing all tiie business that will ever
be offered—more iudeeil than the old
State runnel, fiout Atlanta to Chatta
nooga has ever done—may be built for
one-half to two thirds the cost of the
b >.iid gage.
It is argued that a narrow gage from
Athens to I'layton would drive oft'
through bu-iecss on account of delay
and ex; cn-c of transhipment. This
migl t lie true if the line were not so
mueh shorter than the other, as to far
more than make up for the delay of
transhipment; while the diminished
fious attention to
taut facts, demanding immediate con
sul-ration :
The first fact is, that the commerce
of Augusta has greatly declined, not
withstanding her merchants are men of
large experience, of real capital, and of
p>iinine enterprise. Iu some cases
business has decliueJ as much as fitly
per' cent., while in every case, without
exception, there is a failing off. T, of

Now is the golden moment which must

forever lost.
The second fact is, that a large cle-
meut in the success of Atlanta comes
from Tennessee, North and E:ist of
secure the route to Knoxville to their
own control, and the benefits to both
will, in time, surpass all present com
putation. While Augusta and your
road will stand secure from any future
competition, Atlanta will enjoy en

ambition, aud her future will not lie
dioinWl in the I-a-!. But to -preter
mit nc present goidcu opjHV?unity u«»w
urged will lie disastrous, in the ex
treme, to the great interests confided
to you, gentlemen, and prove the ruin
of tlie beautiful city whose well being
is involved in your road.

of narrow gage, and that they will be,
forced to conform to the narrow gage.
l*-t us keep pace with the march of
events. It is not safe to conclude that
railroad wisdom was exhausted when
llic w ide gage was adopted, and that
a narrow gage must of necessity be in
ferior in its capacity to meet the re
quirements for which railroads are con
structed.
In this connection attention is invit
ed to the article signed “ Augustus,”
which lately appeared iu the Augusta
pajiere. It is a strong argument why
Augusta and the Georgia road should
control the North-Eastern. It is
equally conclusive us to the importance
of its Vicing controlled by the people of

low scale of charges, as will attract; Sarloas trouble In Jefferson county,

Moreover, it is a crying evil of exist

money out of through freights, hut are
obliged to charge oppressive local rate*,
in order to make dividends on their
heavy capital. Is it not better to build

The Chronicle and Sentinel says that
a young man named Coleman was kill
ed some time ago by a negro near Bar

of Ku-Klux went to the negroes house
at night to offer him violence, and he
shot Coleman as he was entering a
window. The other account, which is
partially lost to Augusta
which must lie soon lost altogether, un
less steps are promptly taken to pre
vent so sad a catastrophe, hut which
can bi diverted from Atlanta aud re
stored to Augusta by wise and ener
getic action.
The third fact is, that your road is
deriving its most profitable revenue
from its Athens Branch, which, accor
ding to your last report, in May, 1S71.
amounted to the sum of 6135,612, t >4,
of which the Athens Station yielded
$85,495,59, which is more than double
the business done at the Augusta Sta
tion, and nearly double the best sta
tions on the road, Atlanta alone ex
cepted. I call it tlie most profitable
revenue, because it is derived from lo
cal, in contradistinction to through
freights, which, as a general rule, are
by no means as profitable as local
freights. It thus npjiears that the
Way Stations of the Athens Brauch
only yield 650,117,05. The length of
vour road is 231 miles, of which the
Athens Branch makes 40 miles; and
the whole business of all the stations
amounts to $701,285 05. Now by the
rule of proportion, if 231 miles yield
6701,285,50, what should 40 miles
yield? The answer is 6121,434 03;
luit the actual vied of the
or no profit (as all railroad officials do-
dare) in the “ green line,'’ and other
great through schemes, why voluntari
ly become a party to combinations
which make such lines necessary?—
What good will the green line, or any
other through line, do the North East
ern road, or the people of North East
Georgia, or Athens, admitting, as other
roads admit, that such lines ere not
charged jmying rates, but are merely
run in the interest of reads or markita
alxive or below, to divert trade from
one port to another ? It is true, that
if we could stop the green line at Athens,
it would possibly benefit the Athens
merchants. But it is well-knoWn that
such lines discriminate against all in
termediate points; in evidence of which
we have only to refer to the present
tariffs between the western markets and
Charleston or Savannah, in their effect
on Augusta, Macon, Atlanta or other
points.
Therefore we may dismiss all idea
of advantage to either the terminal or
intermediate |iarts of the mad, from
any great through combination schemes,
which demand a uniform gage. We

The negro went to the Governor with

ouiitrol our road, and do not let tlie
oinnoranta gobble it up, we tan cun-
trol it in the interest of our own local
markets. And, in consideration oftlie
• oonomic.’d construction of the roiul,
we can rarry freights as cheap ns any
body. '
North East Georgia wants a rni road
for the purpose of getting her own pro
ducts to market, m:her than for tlie
purpose of inviting the products of
other lections. She wants a road to
develojie her rcsomccs, increase the
value of her lands, and bring her into
communication with the world; but
she wants one whose construction is
within her means, and which she can
control.
It is argued that connecting interests
will help to complete a broad gage
road, as they are iqterestcd’in it 2his
exirtly what Jiould he. avoided. The
inoiiieut connecting roads take hold of
our line, it will be to tue it in their in
terest—to make it a part of a great
combination, to get through business,
while.North East Georgia will be
ground with local freights, and the con-
Tlie Effect of Raising Provisions.
It is stated that corn is selling at ten
to fifteen cents a bushel in some parts
of Missouri. In Cincinnati and other
Western markets it is worth about 50
to -55 cents. Bacon is worth 04 to 74
i cents in Cincinnati and Louisville, aud
it is thought that meat will sell at three
to four cents this fall. This result is
mainly attributable to the fact that the
isuothem demand has been very limited
this year, and promises to he more so
hereafter.
On the other hand, cotton opens high,
and the reduced crop will probably
bring the cotton district more money
Jims tic last; if not ns lnrge a gross
amount, wore uett, after deducting the
vast sum paid for provisions last year.
With sii<4 results, in * jioor crop year,
it would seem that iiereaftcr tlie plant
ers of the South would persevere in
raising provisions, and keep more of
their earnings at home.
Party Servility.—Go where you
may a u »ag politic il frisnds or
{xitilical foes, and you will not hear
one word iu commendation of the ac
tion and policy of President Grant.—
There is a general and unrestricted
admission of his inability to ateeharge
tlie duties of his position to the honor
nud safety of the country. Many of
his party friends iiold a merely nega
tive position, while others are open in
tlu’ir condemnation. They are un
reserved iu their censure ol his accept
ance of gifts and bribes in considera
tion for official favors, for ids slutme-
less nepotism and hts general want of
in excess of its pro rata share. Th
figures demonstrate the value of :ho
Athens Branch to your company, and
more especially the value oftlie Athens
•Station. Again, the Augusta Station
does a business amounting only to $34,-
549 25, while the Atlanta Station
shows a business of §214,450 28, ac
cording to your report, which two items
being conqiared, demonstrate that the
business oi distribution by commercial
operations is at Atlanta, and not at
Augusta; Atlanta Station lining more
than six times the business of Au
gusta Station.
The fourth fact is, that this large
business at the Athens Station of688,-
395 89, will soon lie lost to Augusta
and your road, unless the Northeastern
Railroad is brought under the control
of your road. The engineers are now-
making the surveys with a view to
definite location, and putting the road
under contract. When completed to
Poplar Springs, on the Chattahoochee
ridge, it will connect with the Air Line
Railroad at that point, and thus open
steam communication eastward to Bal
timore, and westward to Atlanta; and
then Athens will cease to be in any re
spect tributary to Augusta and your
road, unless under your control. You
announce n great truth ill your report
when you say, “ In fact, consolidatl n
in management (not capital) has be
come necessary to success with almost
every road, and the company that iso
lates itself will soon find its business
drawn away by competing routes which
favor a more enlightened and liberal
policy, and its own road a stage route
of by-gone times compared with the
lightning express of to-day.” This
necessity of consolidation will control
the Northeastern Railroad Company,
which must consolidate with the Bal
timore interests, for to stand alone is
impossible. If this Northeastern Com
pany cousolidatates with the Baltimore
interests, it requires no penetration to
see how Augusta and your road will
fare. They will dry up; Augusta wiil
lose her best field for cultivation, and
your company will lose at least one-
eighth t f her present resources for divi
dends. For it is evident that the Ath
ens Station nets 640,000, which consti
tute the eighth part of an eight per
eent, dividend, now usually declared
and anticipated in the future; for, be
yond doubt, theexpenses of the Athens
Branch are less thau any other forty
miles of the entire road. Fifty-five
and a half per cent, of the gross earn
ings of your road cover the expenses
for the year ending April 1,1871, and
he Athens Statioii alone could pay
more than fifty-three per cent, of its
K earnings and still have 46,000
o appropriate to dividend. So it
is demonstrated by thcase figures that
tlie Atliensllr&ncn, and eepemlly the
Athens Station, are of vast present im
portance to your road and to the city of
Augusta.
The fifth fact is, that the charter of
the Northeastern Railroad Company

9, inclusive. Another week is past,
and nine deaths arc added to the list,
viz: Two on Septem!>er-12, three on
Septcmlter 13, one on September 14,
two on September 15, and one on Sep
tember 10. It is ]H)ssihlc, blit ex
tremely improbable, that one or two
deaths, occurring lietwecu September
9 and Scpteinlier 10, are not yet re
ported to the city registrar ; hut, as the
count stands, we have a total of only
50 deaths from the 25th of July, whet,
the first death from yellow fever took
place, up to Saturday last. A glance
at the annexed table will show that
the heaviest mortality this year was in
the week ending September 2, when
there were twenty-one deaths. But in
1854 the greatest mortality was in the
week ending September 10, and in
1850 in the week ending September
30, and in 1858 in the week ending
September 18. This would seem to
suggest that the carliness of the present
season, as shown by the c<»ol weather,
has put us so far forward that there is
no danger whatever of any considera
ble increase in the number of deaths. I iu»i D.eauiue n°w i.««nted totpewweu

The Largest Manufacturing
City in Georgia.—The Columbus
Sun rays: Columbus bears off the
palm hv long odds. The Controller
General reports the capita] invested in
cottjn manufactories in Georgia at 82,-
975,498, of which 81,407,800 is from
Columbus. Next comes Augusta with
a capital of $225,250. Macon has
only $72,0(H). In iron foundries $658,-
02*5 of capital is reported in the State.
Of this amount Columhits reports 873,-
300. In this line she is behind Atlan
ta, where 8147,500 is invested, Clark
county with 683,000 anil Rome with
$79,350. There is a large amount and
a greater variety of cotton goods man
ufactured in the South. The Eagle
and Phcenix establishment ts~ the only
one in the United States Where cotton
blankets arc made. Our manufacto
ries run about 30,000 spindles, and
consumed last year 5,127 bales. One
or two new ones are now being talked
of. Our establishments of all kinds
are continually expanding, and other
interests are being introduced. We
need more railroads for the full devel
opment of our immense water power.
The river dam at the lowest stage of
water will run 180,000 spindles, and
in a distance of three miles the fail of
the river is over 130*feet. - Unlimited
quantities of granite furnish the mate
rial for building purposes. These vast
resources for cheap and profitable man
ufacture of cotton and wool must of
necessity become developed some time,
and we do not think that period will
lie so very far remote.
