''•Andwehadl'.almost forgotten to say,
• . iring the. babies—those chubby little fel
lows that orow and chuckle and crawl and'
dig their fists in their eyes, and prattle so
jollily. We don’t see those sort in townv—
nected with'' the adventnre of building a
Railroad from Rome to Deeatnr, that are
worthy of mention, and that may not be fa
miliar ito the people most interested there
in. The idea of bnilding this road is al
ready appreciated, but its geographical des
tination, and the topogiahy of the country
through which it will pass, and what great
good is to be accomplished by it, are not
so definitely understood. Tbe reflective
man will not rest content with an icka, but
he will or he ought to look at the maps of
the country and see what is proposed. These
maps exhibit one leading and prominent
fact—namely—that it is a dne west line
from Kingston to Deeatnr, and the dis
tance is 140 miles—whereas by way of
Chattanooga it is 217 miles between the
same points. From Memphis via Cor
inth, and Decatur, and Rome to Charles
ton, is nearly a right line running East.
This line is the shortest possible line of
communication between The Mississippi
River and'the Atlantic Ocean. Its course
is through our city, and ‘ is certain to be
bmU—Tt' not built by. ns it is nevertheless
'certain to be built. The material question
is who shall build it—and who shall control
it? Rail Roads can be controlled for the
interests of a city or against it. If parties
build this road who are wedded to the inter
ests ofAtl .nta, it wonld be quite easy to
discriminate against ns in a schedule of
freights. Cotton and grain might be car
ried from. Collinsville to Atlanta, as cheap
as.from Collinsville to Rome. We would
have no just ground to complain of this,ifwe
rihglect or refuse to build the road and At
lanta capital and enterprise does hnild it.
If it is replied that we carnot build it for
w»nt of means, we do our own energies and
enterprise injustice. It wil* bo time enough
to despair when we have exhausted our ef
forts. As yet we have hardly begun to
make an effort. The small subscription
made by the people of Rome is not worthy
of the growth of our city. It would be
more just, if every citizen would subscribe
say 5 per cent, upon brnE state within or
the city. This wonld raise 5150,000, and
wonld insure the completion of the road to
the State lino It certainly is not right for
a few men to have all the burden of devel
oping aud maintaining the commercial in
terests of our city and our country. In
time past a lew .have dune it—a few public
spirited men who have ventured their
means in every enterprise that has made us
what we are. A fe# have not hesitated to pay
for Survey of Railroads that were no*
built. A few have expended money in
clearing the obstructions from our rivers—
in building up our Fonndrys and rolling
Mills, our Academies, and Colleges. It is
always the same few in every community
who marshail the way, and the rest came in
and enjoy with them the benefits thereof.
And here is a Railroad proposed that
will be 120 miles long—the building of
which will certainly be of vast benefit and
advantage to all of us, and to tbe country at
largo. Eighteen miles of it is within tbe
limits of this State, and State aid can be
procured to aid us that far.
The general Law of Alabama already
provides for a loan of sixteen thonsand dol
lars per mile in tbe Bond of that State. We
have obtained a charter from our State line
to Decatur, and now tbe proposition is for
us" to bend our energies to tho work. Our
Legislature meets in January and it will
greatly aid us in obtaining tbe passage of a
favorable Bill for us to have the survey made
and all the estimates prepared, showing the
practicability of the line, and tbe
cost of the work. This survey
is now being made and will soon be com
pleted. Col. Pennington with his corps
have already crossed Look—out Mountain
and little Wills and big Wills Valley, and
are now. on the top of Sand Mountain. No
serious obstacle has yet been found in the
way of making aline due West, and with
out losing mere than three miles distance.
This survey has been made with as mnch
economy and diligence. as it was possible
for any engineer to use. If a thorough re-
connoizavce of the different ways and gaps—
if tbe doily routine of being actually in the
field at sun rise and not suspending their
constant labors until snnset, is economy and
diligence, then CoL Pennington and bio
corps deserve our praise. Certain it is there
has been and will be no money wasted.
AVe wonld therefore urge upon all who
have subscribed to make no further delay
in meeting the amounts called for upon
their stock. The Board have cot and will
not call for a dollar until it is actually want
ed. : lii
• In another letter I will recite more par
ticularly the interests which connecting
roads at Decatur, are-manifesting in the
9peedy completion ol' our road*.-- Isayour
road for Remans should not contemplate
with any from the idea of-fbreign capital
controlling, at onr peril, the construction
of this great work. Let that be the last
resort! '

Polk Superior Court Postponed.
We are authorized by Judge F. A. Kir
by to announce that the Polk Co- Superior
C-onrt that was appointed to meet on the 1st
Monday in November, has been postponed
to tbe 3d Monday. This has been done
in order to enable the citizens of that coun
ty to attend the Fair for the Cherokee
country, which is to be held in Rome, com
meneing on Wednesday, November 3rd and
to continue fonr days.
Jurors will be particular to notice that
the jury drawn tbr the first week of the
regular August Term, are required to be
present and serve, the 3rd week in Novem
ber, and the jury drawn next after that will
serve the week following.
We believe this act of Judge Kirby will
be greatly gratifying to the citizens of Polk
and we know it is,to the lawyers, and many
others of this County.
It is believed that good, to the Agricul,
tural and Mechanical interests of Northern
Georgia and Alabama, will result from this
Fair, and onr leading men aaturaUy feel
disposed to encourage a laige attendance
Every day brings evidence that this Fair wil'
be a grand success.

Trade in New York.—The Times of
the 4th says:
The faU trade is upon ns with a brisk
beginning and bright prospects. This is
a cheery fact, and more than no offset, per
haps, for the anxiety and gloom which tbe
Wall street storm has brought to monetary
circles. Save the dry goods trade, which
is affected through the price of cotton, by
the fluctuations of gold.no branch of bos
iness seems to have felt the financial finny.
The Southern trade is reported as “trebled”
over 1866; and the particulars we present
eleswhere of the demand in various branch
es, show that both the South and W’est are
already taking a great many goods from
onr merchants. It is noteworthy, also, that
a better class of goods, in general, is called
for at the South. This happy revival of
trade will trouble nobody but tbe chronic
croakers, who, however, will very likely
come ont as optimists and say,” “1 told yon

This election takes place in the early pare
of November, while tbe canvass is npt yet.

Herald is our authority for tt e statement
that the Democrats will be heartily triumph-
Ohlo.
. —The Cincinnati Enquirer tho leading
Democratic papetyf t'ris State, is an article
headed “Victory Assured” gives certain
promise to the Democracy that Pendfetoo
will be elected.
Hear him.
Onr advices from all parts of the State
amount to positive assurances of the election
of Mr. Pendleton, by a majority larger than
theaverag:- against ns in the past six years."
We are not disposed to overestimate onr
strength or overstate onr prospects, but we
are so certain of success in the contest to be'
closed on Tuesday week, that we feel it a
duty to those who have helped in the good
work about tobe consumated,to tell them
that their labor has not been in vain. Tbe
people are at last aroused to a sense of their
true interests.
• Texas.
The Democratic editors iu this State
met and nominated a Simon Pure Demo
crat. fhe people, wisely we believe, repn
diated the rettou of these men, and are
nnited on the Hamilton ticket, which is al
most certain of success. Provisional Gov
ernor Pease has resigned, and will stamp
tbe State for Hamilton.
The Ultra action of Reynolds and the
administration will cause twenty more Re
publican speakers to take the stamp for
Hamilton.
So that in the “lone Star State/ “every
thing is lovely, and tbe goose haDgs high.”
Mississippi.
Onr exchanges are quiet npon the subject
of the Mississippi election, but if the high
handed outrages of the retrap Ames does
not cause the good people of that State to
decidedly repudiate him and bis colleagues
at the coming ballottings, then we have no
knowledge of human nature. The recoid.oi
Alcorn will work seriously agaiost him. As
he was a rabid secessionist,, many Radicals'
will oppose him. It is hard for a renegade
to inspire confidence in the hearts of men.
Tennessee.
The Legislature has assembled, and is
doing good work in wiping ontthe Radical
legislation of tbe past fonr years. The en
grossing subject is the Senatorial election,
wh-ch will come off ou the 17th inst.—
Johnson’s friends are confident of success.
Etheridge’s supporters swear that he will be
eleeied. And dispatches say that Mr. Ste
phens will be elected in preference to either
of .he others. 1 he result cannot be predi
cated safely at this early date.
THE 15th AMEND Jit XT.
We append opinions npon the 15th
Amendment Irom some ofthe leading thiuk
ere of the continent. It is a loathsome
subversion of the prime principles of the
Republic, and as such deserve tbe disap
proval of every honest man.
Our latest telegrams indicate that the
people of Ohio have repudiated it.
God give it destruction, say we.
Hear what our statesmen think of it:
The Hon. A. H. Stephens, of this State
characterizes this Fifteenth Amendment
proposition correctly when he says:
“Nothing could be mori'basc^than a rat
ification of the Fifteenth Amendment un
der the impulse of threats from Congress.
Military rule is better than se f degradation
An undegrad-d though oppressed people
may still preserve some hope of ultimate
liberty and good government; but a self-de
graded people—a people lost to shame, to
horor and personal respect—are not wor
thy of their liberty even if a hope of its res
toration could penetrate souls which of
their own accord have suffocated' the
light.
The ballot box, mnch as it has been
abased, is still present for tbe cure of po
litical evils. To it we shjuld look for a res
toration of liberty. ( Wewonld co-operate only
with those who.recognize the sovereign right
of local self-government by the people in
their respective commonwealths—whether
they rail themselves Democrats or by any
other nomenclature. By such a course the
day ofonr redemption may finally arrive.
Bnt it can never come in any other way.
The principle of local self-government, as a
sovereign right, was tbe foundation ol
American independence. Massachusetts
was the first to start it. Aud the cry re
sponded from all the colonies: “The cause
ot Boston is tbe canseof ns all 1” Even if,'
refusing self degradation, we pass again -un
der military rale, another contine ital cry,
sooner or later, may surge over the land.—
“The cause of Georgia is the cause of us
all 1”
Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio says;
I oppose tbe adoption of the Fifteeth
Amendment, because it is a material, radi
cal change in onr system of government;-
bcca se it d stroys the relation of the States
to the Federal Union whioh the 'constitu
tion established, and degrades them; because
it takes away from the States without' their
consent that essential attribute of a self-gov
erning community, the right to determine
who shall exercise tho right of suf
frage.
Senator Hendricks, of Indiana says:
What is the Ffleenth Amendment?. ’
What is the effect? Gentleman, the ef
feet is to takeaway from each8utein this
Union the control and regulation‘that is
important to her. as an independent mem
ber of the Confederacy. I believe this
question belongs of right to the States, and
it is a change in the very nature and frame
work of onr government, to take it away
from the States and confer it upon Congress',
lathe names of the States! objecttoibis
amendment.
The Don. Emerson Etheridge, of-this
Tennessc says:
“It is all important just now when the
general government is absorbing all power'
that this original reserved right should
not be surrendered; for the Federal govern
ment as a consequence, of war, has so chang
ed (be original ‘structure of government,
that' States, have become more' dependen
cies of the ccptral government. If this
right "were rnrrendcied, but few original
rights wonld remain to the States. - * *
* He wonld therefore vote against the
amendment and oppose it to the best of his
ability.”

Fall Oats.—Fall oats, says the Southern
Cultivator, ‘-Should. be - sown as soon as
possible; and we would most earnestly urge'
upon our - readers to 'increase the valuable
crop. For certainty of succeeding, and foir
the amount produced, oats sown in Septem
ber. are worth-double ; thpse-_agjrn in the
spring. .Cloyer and grasses may also be sown
now and have time. to get established be
fore severe ’ weather sets'in. There is this
advantage in sowing now, that should there
be'a failurcin securing a stand, one has an
opportunity of. resowing,' either in whole oi
in part, in the spring. Forclover or grass,
pulverize the lands th.roughly, manure sur

Tit Keep ‘Foich -Healthy.—The way I keep
iny fowls-in health, L clean out the houre
once-a-week ; put wood ashes under the
roosts ; have iron basins for them to drink
from ; whitewash inside of ben boose with-
hot lime ; put a little kerosene oil on the
roosts onee a month. The main food is oats,
and scraps of cake to pick on. I never
iced but once a day—at noon, or when
shut troni up at lour or five P. M. when
they run out. then give them all they will
eat. Il my experience, there is no way to
get diseased fowls easier than to keep them
stuffed; it makes them lazy, and they won’t
work as much as they ought to, to keep a
healthy condition.
I never have any gapes in chickens:
When any fowl begins to droop. I give
three large- pills of common hard, yellow
soap ; ’tis the. qest thing to cleanse a fowl
I know of.. I follow it for three days, give
thei/r nothing to" cat and plenty of pare
water to-.irink! In -.esperate cases give
a half teaspoooful: of tiuctnre ot lobelia.
It will seldom, if ever, tail, of caring. It is
a very cleansing and powerful medicine lbr

Savaunan Municipal Election.
The telegraph informs us that on Mon
day, the municipal election in Savannah
resulted in a signal triumph to the Demo
cratic party. Out of 4,400 registered voters
about 4.000 cast their votes for the Demo
cratic candidates. The negroes voted for the
Conservative ticket almost unanimously.
The election is not without its lesson. It
foretells the certain -doom of the Radical
party, if the Democracy continues to pre
sent an unbroken iront. The ticket elected
is comprised of Savannah s best citizens.
