Homo is also surrounded by a country of very exceedingly fertile nnd produc tive lands, cnpnble of supporting a very dense population. Tho. advantages of water power in and about Home cannot bo surpassed, presenting facilities for manufacturing purposes very seldom found in any country. If Homo can bo made a point to which tho attention of capitalists can ho drawn, and to wiiioh persons engaged in tho different pur suits of trade and commerco can bo in duced to concontratQ, offering ns it docs all the natural ndvuntngcs deemed im portant to a great and groivlnglcommer- cial town, great wealth and prosperity will bo insured our citixons, nnd a com mercial importance given to Home, un- by any-other inlun ' the* South, lienee every should be made to further these ends, and no better initiatory step could be taken t’mn to induce tho establishment of a Port of Entry at this point, As an inducement to tho establish* in or. t of a Port of Entry id Homo, your Committee respectfully submit that tho population to bo supplied, and are now mostly supplied from or through Home number about 105,fMK), embimqng tho (joining 0 or 7 counties in Alabama, nnd four adjoining counties to Floyd in Georgia, representing taxabble proper- to an amount of over $75,000,01)0. It reasonable to suppose that tho area ... country to bo supplied with importa tions of all descriptions would bo widely extended shculd Romo be mado a Port of Entry, especially after .the com pi o tion of tho Railroad now in process ot construction from Homo to Gadsder. and .Jacksonville Alabama, at which points .. will connect with other railroads run ning in different directions through Northern Alabama, nearly all of which would bo supplied with morohuudise shipped through Homo. I'lieso facts togeUior with the rapid increase of population as well as the large annual increase of productions of all kinds, and tho mineral resources of tho surrounding country, inexhaustible in quantity ; such as iron-ore, coal nnd slnto, will combine to tnnko Homo a Commercial point of much importance and largo trade. Alrondy wo nre in- formed that during tho last current year ending July 1st 1800, wore ship ped ovor the Romo Railroad to Homo 148,810 packages of merchandise be sides ovor ono hundred car loads of iron, coal and coke. There was shipped from Homo during same time: Bales of Cotton, 25,005, Bushols of wliont, 78,380, Corn. 10,742, 214,870, 42,112, 10,158, 52,233, 04,060, 2,078, 300,532, _. o . 880,000, Besides numerous boxes, barrels, furni ture, machinery, Ac., &o. In tho year 1859, them wero shipped from Romo 127,071 pounds of driod fruit, 108,482 bushels wheat, 167,200 pounds flour. This brings home tho tact that tho worth of produce shipped annually from Homo amounts to mil lions, and that tho worth of merchan dise annually to Homo amounts to bo- tween $3,00,000—and $4,000,000, at a low estimate.

Wo would invito particu lar attention to tho commercial statis tics, that wero cnrofully, nnd mostly from infallablo resources, propared for and embraced in this Roport.

The Seceded States* Referring to tho resources of tho So- coded States ip oftler to nieot the burdens of their Govormtient, Vice Prcsidojtt Stephens,' in his recent pooch at Savannah, held the following language t ••Tho taxable property of the Confed erate States cannot he Jess than $2,200,- 000,000. Tills, 1 think, 1 venture hut littlo in saying, may bo considered as flvo times more titan the colonies pos sessed at tbo time they achieved their independence.

The debts ol the sovon Confederate Stott's sum up In the aggregato less than $18,000,000: while the existing debts of the other, the late Unilod Statos sum up in the aggregate the enormous amount of $274,000,000. This is without taking into the account the heavy city debts, corporation debts, mu nuuq uuy uuuis, uurpumuuii uuuib, and railroad debts,, which press, and will continue to ptess, n heavy incubus upon tho resources of those States,— debts, added to others, mnko sum total not much under $500,000,000. With such an area or territory, with such an amount of population, with a olimato nnd soil unsurpassed by at.iy on tho fuco of tho earth, with sueh resour ces already at our command, with pro ductions which control the com merce of tho world, who can entertain any apprehension ns to our whether others join us or not?” Kentucky.—An animated canvass is now going on in this old State—the first admitted into tho Union after tho adop tion of tho Foderal Constitution. It turns on tho election of delouatos to a Border State Convention. -This oloo- tion is held on tho 4th of May next- less than a month from this time. There aro two parties in the field—a Union and a Southern Rights party.— The programme of the latter is to pro- sent tho Crittenden proposition to the North as an ultimatum, and if rejected by that section, to aoccde. This propo sition is advocated by Mr. Breckinridge in ltis late speech before Hio Stato Leg islature. TIow Lincoln oot his Eiout Million Loan.—An article from the Now York Express explains this seeming mystory. It appears that every interest nt tho north is prostrated und the money had no where else to go, nnd that even then the capitalists refused toadvanco a dol lar until assured by the Administration that its policy was peace. Requisitions for More'Proofs.—Pres ident Paris has issued reqtisitions upon tho Govcnors of each of the Conledo- rnto Statfes for additional troops, Florida and throo thousand from each of tho’other Statos. Tho municipal election in Augusta, resulted in the success of R. II. May, Esq., for Mayor, over Foster Blodget, Jr., who bus filled that office for several yours past.
