T. M. Forlow, of Sumter.

J H Gilmore, of Lee,
Dr J G Slappey, ef Baker,
E L Douglass, of Randolph.
The Committee reported the following:
Col. PORTER INGRAHAM President,
Col. R. H. D. SORRELL. Secretary,
Dr. Slappey moved that a Committe of three
be appointed to conduct the President to his
seat.
The following gentlemen were appointed that
committee : A R Ragan, of Muscogee, M Blant-
ford, of Marion, and Col. B M Cox, of Baker.
The President, on taking his seat, made a very
appropriate and stirring speech, which was re
ceived with marked approbation by the Con
vention.
B. K. Harrison of Stewart, moved that each
county be entitled to one vote for each Senator

latter lying West of the point of crossing a feeder
in anv degree to tho former, yet thinks the Albany
branch of the Brunswick road would be, it would
appear, in some degree a feeder to the Savannah
and Albany line. This is an admission that the
Brunswick Company would not be able to control
the direction of the traffic, though having got it in
their cars under lock and key.* Savannah he ap
pear* to think, would find a key that would unlock*
it. Might not the same key answer where the Sa
vannah road crosses the Brunswick Line.
Here allow me to correct an error which appears
to be somewhat prevalent as to the cost per mile of
the two rival works. The cost of the Brunswick
work under the contract, is $13,000 per mile. The
company furnish the iron and charge the contract
ors ^ 15 per ton. The contractors grade and bridge
the same, and lay the track ; they also furnish two
locommotive engines, two passengers and 50 freight
car*. N >w if the iron costs more than $45 per
ton, the Company pays the difference, and if thei
contract is a recent one payable in the bonds of the
Company, »t is probable they pay at least the full
market price. Here there is §2,500 in round num
Ins per mile. The company furnish the splicing
fUtes, spikes, and punch the iron ; say $1200 per
mile. This will make the cost of the road $16,-
TuO—supposing the iron to be a recent purchase.
1 do,not vouch for the entire accuracy of the state
ments. hut 1 nelieve them substantially correct. The
Company furnish also and pay for the engineering
and right of way, as l understand. The entire coat
ol the Savannah and Albany road is $16,622 96 per
On Motion of Mr. Harrison, the two thirds
rule was adopted unanimously.
R. H. D.‘Sorrel, of Macon, moved that the
Convention proceed to ballot without announc

Milledgeville, (Ja., Jane 22d, 1853.
At <a meeting of the Conservative men of
Georgia, standing apon the principles and de
clarations of the Report and Resolutions adopt
ed by the State Convention of 1850—
On motion of Linton Stephens, Gen. John
to* A. Sanford-was called L« preside over the
deliberations of the Convention, and Messrs.
Wooldridge of Muscogee, Word of Cass, and
Peeples of Clark, were appointed a committee
to conduct him to the Chair;
The Committee of Sixteetr through their
Chairman, Mr. Toombs, submitted the following
report, which, haying been read, was on motiou
of Mr. Peeples, unanimously adopted 3
Resolved, That this Convention now proceed
to the election, by ballot, of a Candidate for
Governor, and each county shall be entitled to
one vote for each Senator, and two votes for
each Representative, and a majority of the
whole shall elect.
Resolved, That this Convention of Republi
can citizens of Georgia, invite the co-operation
of all those, whether Whigs or Democrats, who
agree with them in the principles herein set
forth and declared.
Resolved, That we adhere to the Report and
Resolutions of the Georgia Convention of 1850,
because we believe the principles therein pro
claimed are not less important to the rights of
the States than of the Union of the States; and
that we consider the rights of the Southern
States as in great and imminent danger, and
the principles of the Georgia Convention great-
Iy jeoparded by any political party whatever
may be its name, which recognizes Abolition
ists and Free-Soilers as worthy of political
honors and public emoluments.
Resolved, Thst in the opinion of this Con
vention, both the Whig and Democratic parties
of the United States have been faithless to tu^ir
oft repeated pledges of economy in the expendi
ture of the public money, and that we view
with great alarm and disapprobation the partial,
unequal and unjust appropriation of the pubile
lands to internal improvements in particular
States, and of a local character; and of the
public money to wild, reckless and gigantic
schemes of internal improvement, intended for
the promotion of particular interests rather than
the general benefit of those who bear the bur
then of Taxation.
Resolved, That the public lands are the com
mon property.of all the States of the Union,
and in their appropriation equality is the only
rule of equity and that any alienation of them,
except to bring money into the public treasury,
should be for the equal benefit of all the States
of the Union, old as well as new.
Resolved, That while struggling freedom eve
rywhere enlists our warmest sympathy, we still
adhere to the doctrine of the Father of his
country,-as announced in his farewell address,
of keeping ourselves free from all entangling al
liances with foreign countries, and never quitting
our own to stand upon foreign ground. That
our mission as a republic is not to propagate
our opinions, or impose on other countries our
foim of government by artifice or force, but to
teach by example, and show by our success,
moderation and justice, the blessings of self-
government, and the advantages of free institu
tions.
Resolved, That this Convention avers that
the maintainanee of the honor and dignity of
the position assumed by Georgia in 1850, and
the promotion of the moral, social intellectual,
and national interests of her people, to be ob
jects of greater importance, than the success of
any national party.
In pursuance of tho first resolution, the Con-
ention proceeded to ballot for a candidate for
I agree w'-l'i Col. Tift most fully that the
ultimate destination of the work should be Mobile
t'lprc connecting with the great West and South
WVst and New Orleans, through the Mobile and
Ohio, and the Mobile and New Orleans road—the
letter having recently'taken its position among at
1 a.-t projected works. I expressed these opinions
in a letter to Dr. Screven which 1 placed in his
hands along with tho report. But I was instructed
to report on a toad to Pensacola and not to Mobile.
This l hope will satisfy Col, Tift on this point.—
Nevertheless* in the next report which I shall be
railed on to submit, viz : when^the surveys bn the
Utter line recently ordered, and already commenced
are brought to a close, I may allude to this subject.
Col. Tift appears to consider ine committed in
my report in favor of a route penetrating Florida
He has misapprehended me. I do not suppose my
opiuona can be worth much
subject. Nevertheless, such as
by no means in favor of canying the road into
Florida, except as a measureexpediency—hav
ing refen nee to an existing charter, and the liberal
•id looked for from that source. And it may be a
grave question after all, whether the expected aid
• and the facilities affiirded by the charter in question
will over balance the disadvantage of a divergence
*o much South, and out of our own territory—and
especially if that organization is to be a separate
and distinct one, and the Florida road is to be work*
* ed by its own officers, its own machinery, cars &c.
What is wanted, is a road under one set of officers,
nne system of management. To proceed without
the co-operation ol Florida will be perhaps to pro
ceed more slowly, but it may be more surely. In
dependent of any question of expediency. I am
not quite satisfied, that the line should go much be
low Troupville, in Lowndes Co., and Thomasville,
in 1 homas Co., and thence to some elgible crossing
of the Apalchicnla.not far below the junction of the
of the Flint, and Chattahoochee. In carrying out
this course, the line, with a view to the ultimate ex
tension of a branch, (or a main line, should circum
stances give it that direction,) into Florida, might
be carried from the Altamaha, in the direction of the
N. W. corner of Hamilton Co., or a few miles West
but should not in my humble view, be carried East
of that point, until a point is retched, suitable for
the Westerly divergence, necessary to cany the
line by, or below Troupville,and Thomasville ; of
course being governed so far as necessary, by eng
ineering difficulties and facilties.
But it may be out of place to allude to this sub-
bet at all here—as at any early day the Provis
icnal Board of directors with whom it rests, will
it, in all its bearings, under consideration. On
the subject of Col. Tift’s strictures, this mach and
no more.
Yours very truly,

The Fishery Troubles.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier says, the decided conduct at Washington,
with reference to the fisheries, and the firm yet con
ciliatory representations of Mr. Marcy, have pro^
daced a suspension of proceedings on tha part of
foe English against the fishing vessels in the dls
poted waters. There is now a'clear prospect of a

Abolishing Titles.

totion of Massachusetts, has passed to a second read
ing a resolution purporting that it is not advisable
to »dd the phrase “His Excellency” to the title of
.gdrerqor of that'commonwealth,

It has been remarked by eminent men, that in the Tarried
catalogue of diseas to which man is liable, there is scarcely
one ofsuch importance and of such interest as Scrofula,
whether we look to the obscurity of its origin, its insidious
progress, the number and variety of organs that it attack^
its remarkable incurability and extensive fatality.
Scrofula has baffled the skill of the most eminent phv
cians in this country and in Europe. But there is an antidote
for this disease in “ Dr. Ouysott’s Extract of Yellow Dock
Georgia—Baker County.
To all whom it may concern.
HEREAS John J. Sparrow applies to me for
* * letters of Administration on the estate of Eze
kiel Floyd late of said county deceased.
These are therefore to cite and admonish all persons
interested to file their objections (if any they have)
in my office within the time prescriboij by law, oth
erwise said letters will be granted at the next August
term of the Court of Ordinary of safdcbunty. • r : :
