Within the last few days I have been assured by two or three of the lar- ’ proprietors of Baker county, that this measure w>uld meet a ready response from the citizens of this section ; and they further expressed their aril, lineness to subscribe liberally, though already sub scribers to the Brunswick road.

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 the Brunswick work will render that portion of the j and two for each Representative Adopted. 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.

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, F. P. HOLCOMB, 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.

H. Colquitt be unanimously declared the candidate of this District This was received marked approbation and was unanimously carried. R. H. D. Sorrel moved that a committe of! one from each county be appointed by the Chair, to notify the Hon. A. H. Colquit of his nomination, and ask his acceptance thereof.

The committee retired and soon after report ed the following resolutions, jyhich were unani mously adopted: Resolved, That we adopt as the cardinal rule of our political faith, the Resolutions of the Baltimore Convention of 1852, and forgetting all past divisions and dififerencics of opinion upon questions already settled, we cordially invite all, by whatever name heretofore known, who now agree with ns in princi ple. to join with us in carrying out in practical ope ration, the great Constitutional, States Rights, and Republican doctrines embraced in those resolutions. Resolved, That we have an unshaken confidence in the patriotism, integrity, and firmness of Fran* us Pierce, the President of the United States—that his republican -simplicity, his stem adherence to the strict letter of the Constitution in all his public life, and the noble and patriotic principles contained in his Inaugural Atldress, commend him to the love and admiration of the great party that elevated him to a nd that the Democracy of this Congressional appeared that the lion.
