NOTICE TO BRIDGE BUILDERS AND CONTRAC
TORS.
BRIDUE Builders and Contractors take notice that a
change has been made ia the plan of building the
Causeway and Bridges across Ogeechee Swamp on the road
leading from Louisville to Miliedgevillc.
The Commissioners, after mature deliberation and con
sultation, have determined to alter the plan of bui'ding
both Bridges and Causeway, and in lieu of the plan as
heretofore published, the following one is substituted:
Sealed proposals will be received until the 96ih day of
APRIL next, for building Bridges and Causeway across the
Bridges and Causeway will be let separately, and the per
son making the lowest bid for the Causeway, and bid ding
u low as any other person for the Bridging, will be preferr
ed, and the same role will be regarded In the bidding for
the Bridges.
The following Is the plan of building the Bridge):—There
are to be six Bridges In the Swamp, located at such places
and distances as will be designated by the Commissioners
and to be of the following length and structure:
Tbo first Bridge adjoining the old one across the river,
and extending SIX) feet; seiond Bridge 89 feet in length;
third 180 feet long; fourth Bridge 3d feet long; fifth Bridge
100 feet long : sixth Bridge 82 feet in length; making in
all 040 foet of Bridging in length, dll these Bridges are
to be built afttr the following plan and specifications:—
Each Bridge is to he IS feet wide, the posts are to be 10
inches square of heart Pine, thereare to be six sleepers to
each aron, each sleeper tobeS by 12 inches; the arches
are not to exceed 2u feet in length or distance; there are
to be 8 posts for eash arch, and to be driven ; Cap-sills to
be 10 by 12 inches; the flooring to be of heart plank, 2 by
10 wide ; each Bridge is to be banistered with scantling 4
by 0 Inches; the railing to be mortised, and to have a
center post foreachrail. The posts of the hand rails are to
rest on scantling 8 by 0 inches and extending 2 feet over,
and are to be braced.
The Causeway will be 800 yards, more or less, to be
built in oonne tion with the Bridges. It will be IS feet on
top when finished It must be built of logs and dirt. The
upper or west side of the Causeway must be covered with
di tat least 8 feet deep. The building of the Causeway
wilt be let by the oubio yard, and both the contract for
Bridging and building the Caußeway, must be completed by
the Ist day of January next.
The Cnromiisioners desire tc Inform those who intend
bidding for these oontracts, that xs to the height of the
Causeway or Bridges, they are not prepared to say definl.e
ly, but from the estimate now made by them, the average
hei ht of thcC.useway will be about 7 feet, perhaps a
little more—the Bridges will be of a corresponding height.
Bond and security will be required of the contractor for
the fxith.ul performance of the contract tn his part—far
ther, that timber may beobtained on these terms, vis: the
contractor msy use such tiee* as may be Becesaary, and
the price, if not agreed upon between the contractor and
owner, msy be settled by arbitration—the contractor
choo.lng one, the oSTBtr another, and incase of their disa
greement, they may choose a third man, which shall settle
thepriee. As to tho dirt necessary, no charging will be
made, If taken along the line of the causeway.
The Commissioners are authorised to say, that S7OO has
been placed at the disposal of the Commissioners, to be
advanced daring the progress of the work, at snoh thnee
and in suoh sums as they may think p oper, and at the
completion of the work SI2OO m-re shall be paid, and the
belance due will be paid at the earliest convenience of the
Coart. The remaining unpaid portion bearing interest at
the legal rate.
Those who wish any information in regard to the letting
of either the Bridge or Causeway, can obtain it by addren

Spring.
This delicious season is stealing (or March ing)
upon os with all her wonted mysterious charms.—
And the fresh and sunny atmosphere in which
oar city has of late been resting, like a fairy cloud
metropolis in the sparkling depths shove, gives
pleasant token of her swift and bean:ifiil avatar—
her < ariy visible embodiments in green woods and
Jlowery fields and singing birds and brooks, and
in all the ten thousand harmonies and beaming
graces of awakening nature. Althoush eanric’cii'-, .
March, as usual, •‘dime in with j
it is already expanding into the brilliant “pea- .
cock’s tail, with which the Scotch proverb dis
misses this fitful herald of the Spring. We may ,
henceforth confidently look for the bright, onfal- i
tering advanoe of “the trembling year,” and no
longer fear that Winter will
Oft at ev* resume the breese,
Chill the pale morn, and bid his driving sleets
Deform the day delightleis.
Hyena, by these varied presents, has resigned
her scepter to Ver, and the countless tributes of
earth and air, the finuey people of tho deep, and
lordly man, and “mute inßeuaate nature,” all pas
sionately respond to her enchanting sway. And
was there over s more enchanting potentate than
tho omnipotent yet gentle Spring ? tier smiles aro
mandates mightier tbau the nods of Jove, her
breath is love, her sighs and sobs subdue the uni
versal heart, her tears melt and enrapture and dif
fuse the glorious divinity within us. No wonder
that she is peerless and supreme among the sea
sons, or (as philosophers assert) she will one day
absorb them all in her bewitching self, as sunlight
swallows up the Btar-besms. Bummer is magn li
cent and dazzling, Autumn is rich and plaintive,
Winter is stately and eheerh ss, but Spring is ar
dent and lovely aud overflowing with life and ten
derness and bouyant hope. Tho splendois of her
sister seasons resemble those of the dying day or
the dying dolphin, or the sculptured glories of the
mausoleum; hers nro instinct with the enorgy and
beauty of youth, and rest in the memory like a
bright dream of ambition.
There is a touching and thrilling fascination in
Spring that perfectly intoxicates the heart. Be
neath hor inspiring sway nature becomes sentient
und sympathetic, and we talk or sing of smiliug
fleldß, of woeping clouds, of cruel winds, of moun
tains that clap their hands, of brooks with silvery
voices, of flowers whoso glances woo the whisper
ing breeze. All her rnoodos are replete with ex
quisite sensibility, and whether she laughs or
cries, or muaeß with still and fathomless and brim
ming joy, our hearts aro over blissfully with her.—
But Bpring, like woman, is most lovely and resist
-1083 in hor tearful mood—when
“The clouds consign their treasures to the fields,
And, softly shaking ou the dimpled pool
Prelusive drops, let all their moisture flow
In large effusion o'er the freshened world."
Nature never appuears half so beautiful as when
peering through “April showers”—those balmy
atonements by which fickle Spring reconciles her
swelling buds and pouting birds. And how pas
sionately do they leap to her embrace, and resume
their mystic evolutions and rapturous melodies.—
Instantly
Every copse
Deep-tanged, tree Irregular, and hush
Bending with dewy mdisture, o’er the heeds
Os the coy quiristersthat lodge within,
Are prodigal of harmoDy.
Nature, meanwhile, revives as if by a magician’s
touch, and a thousand imprisoned charms shoot
np into every loaf aud flower—her heart seem
flushed with some profound and sweet emotion,
aud yon can almost feel it beat as each pulse of
beauty mounts to her face and beams through the
solt-flowing tears.
But the influence of Spring, while humanizing
and refining, is also eminently energizing. By tho
sublime example of renewed development evory
where transpiring, if by no subtle forge, man ia
insensibly moved to corresponding energy, and,
not UDfrequently, perceives, with kindling powers,
tho dawn of a destiny whose early beams disperse
forever the fatal misis of inactivity and sloth. He
who is not in some degree roused into new life, or
stimulated into high resolves, or strenghtened in
the virtuous resolves of the past, by the myriad
exultant and rejoicing voices of the Spring, ia more
senseless than the flower and duller than the clod.
While inanimate existence hears the glad sum
monti, and awakes with snob bounding and bound
less lile, surely no very rational being can stupid
ly slumber on.— Sav. Jour.
The Nxwbpafxb Header. —We were lately im
pressed moat forcibly with the advantages of beiDg
a constant newspaper reader. Travelling some
distanoe from the city by railroad, tho seat before
us was oocupied by two men, both comfortably
dressed hut strangers to each other, as the con
versation which sprung np between them showed.
The conversation originated in some trivai re
mark, and both seemed equally fluent in making
observations so long as the talk was about matters
ooming immediately under their eye. To listen to
thorn, or to look in their countenances, you would
not have suspeeted that one was greatly superior
to tho other in intelligence. But soon the con
versation turned upon the weather—that Irnitf'ul
topic—and one of the men spoke of the extreme
cold which, according to the newspaper state
ments, had been experienced this season in some
parts of the eastern States. From the weather,
the qnoter of newspaper authority turned to talk
of the nows from California, and that part of it re
lating to the Walker Expedition.
“The Walker Expedition,” repeated the other,
“What is thatJ" “The California flllibueters,
I mean,” said the companion. “ I guess Santa
Anna will have difficulty iu driving them out.”
Bnt from the puzzled silence of the querist, it was
evident that the answer was not very intelligible
to him. After somo little effort to explain the al
lusion to the filibustering movement on the Pacific
coast, the man posted np in tho latest news per
ceived that ho was only dragging his neighbor be
yond the sphere of his knowledge, ana the con
versation ceased. In some ten or fifteen minutes
wo reached a station, and the non-piussed gentle
man took advantage of the stoppage to change his
seat for ouo near the stove, where ne soon fell into
a comfortable doze.
We opened a conversation with our intelligent
neighbor, discussed flllibustorism, got his opinion
of Nicholas, tho Sultan, Prince Albert, and Louis
Napoleon, and ooming back to home matters com
pared opinions on those until the train reached his
stopping place. After his departure we occupied
some minutes in contracting in our mind the
immense difference between the man who reads
the newspapers and the man who does not read
them. The one fits himself to discharge all the
functions of a rational, social being, while the
other merely vegetates, devoting his life to sup
plying his animal wants.
Our chit chat with the newspaper reader made
part of our journey pass pleasantly. We became
,iis debtor to some extent, though he told us little
that was new; and if our share in the conversation
was an equivalent to him, this little bit of inter
course, equally profitable to both, though in the
nature of pastime, will place us on terms of friend
ship and good neighborhood should we ever meet
again. The man who was ignorant of Captain
Walker and hia conquering heroes and his doze,
and that, no - doubt, was very agreeable to him,
but he will never contribute much to society by
his explorations after knowledge. —flew York Sun.
FineTikxs job the Iron Min.— The Iron Men
are doing aline business, so good, that thoy say
not a word about a tariff. There are thirteen
thousand miles of railroad in operation; three
thousand miles additional, it is estimated, will be
built this year. For double tracks, one hundred
thousand tons will be required this year. The
quantity of railroad iron, therefore, in use by the
end of this rear, allowing one hundred tons to
the mile, will be one million seven hundred thou
sand tons, which, at $65 per ton, the present price,
gives a total of $110,1100,000 invested in railroad
bars now in use. Eight per oent. is estimated by
the Railway Times to be the wear and tear of the
rails in use. which would require an outlay for
this item alone, of more than eight millions of
dollars annually, or in the oourse often years,
over eighty millions of dollars. By January, 1860,
there will in all probability, be in operation in the
United States, 80,000 miles of railway. Between
now and that period, there will have to be fur
nished by our manufacturers, the iron for some
nineteen thousand miles of new track, and as
much as eight per cent, per annum of the amount
now in use. This magnificent amount with multi
plied uses for iron, care, locomotives, steam en
gines, machinery, steamboats, iron sailing vessels,
iron buildings, <Sro., gives to the iron trade the
most flattering prospects, if nothing intervenes
to stop the prospect of railroad construction.—

Railroads in Great Britain.— From documents
recently published in England, it appears that the
gross receipts from travel and freights en the rail
roads of the United Kingdom during the past
year, amounted to 17,920,380 pounds sterling.
These railroads cost upwards of 268,000,000, and
altogether pay less than three per cent, dividend
to the stockholders. According to the statements
of the authority from which we gather these sta
tistics, nothing can be more satisfactory than the
traffic returns on the English railroads; they have
advauoed at a rate far beyond the most sanguine
expectations of their directors; but, from some
cause yet to be discovered, the expenditure has
much more than kept pace with the advance of
trafic; and the consequence has been considerable
•fisappointment to those who have invested their
money in theee undertakings, relying on the na
tural development of traffi to cover the annual ad
ditions to the expenditure. These expectations
have as yet been disappointed, for it appears that
almost every increase of traffic, or chance of in
crease in the dividend, has been almost immedi
ately forestalled or anticipated by some scheme or
aeoret movement on the part of the lawyers, en
gineers or directors, either in the shape of leasing
other lines, of making some new branch or exten
sion, guaranteeing some line or dividend, or by
cresting preference shares for improvement, ex
tensions, or branches. The system of management
which has been pursued for the last ten years has
reduced, we are told, the dividends at least 50 per
cent, on the great lines, and the value of stock on
many as low as to a quarter, and even an eighth of
the nar value. Notwithstanding this, it is pro
posed to construct fiOw) ad ditto sal miles of road,
which are said to ba necessary to supply the de
mands of traffic and travelling throughout the
oountry.— BasUry Courier.
Iron.— The Puddling and Rolling establishment
of Mr. Geo. Welch of this place, has been in oper
ation tome 8«or 10 days, and thong hnot fairly under

in a few weeks, to finish about i tons daily- Whan
we oonsider the vast quantity of Stone Coal con
venient to ths establishment, we incline to the
opinion that it will ba profitabls to him, as it will
be advantageous to the community. —Loudon

SPEECH OF HOnTW. C. DAWSON,
j OF GEORGIA.
In the Senate, March id, 1854.
Tin Senate resume! the consideration of the
bill to organize the Territory of Nebraska. The
pending question was, “Shall the bill pass f”
Mr. Dawson. I do not design, Mr. President
long to detain this body. The snbject has been
discussed, very ably discussed ; bat my relations
to it, and my connection with this body, demand
that I should say a few words, and they shall be
directly to the points before ns. I desire on all
occasions, to speak pertinently, uninfluenced by
passion cr prejudice. lam an American citiaen ;
in every feeling of my heart I am on Amerioan ;
and I desire to speak here as an Amerioan Sena
tor.
I have no fear, sir, as a southern man, for the
consequences growing ont of any notion on the
part of the Congress of the United States in rela
tion to my section of the country. If that dread
ful misfortune and catastrophe, disunion, shall ever
be brought upon the oountry, my section of the
Union will never be in the minority of these
States. The great valley of the Mississippi, with
all its tributaries, is based upon the Gulf of Mexico
and the Atlantic States South. Nature has thrown
her waters down through ns into the great recipi
ent of the world of waters. I have no alarm, sir,
as a southern man. My only alarm is as a patriot
and a Union man. My past hiatory in the other
branch of Congress and this, has shown that I am
governed by no sectional feeling. lam influenced
by no partizan foeling or unkindness towards
those who differ from me socially, politically, or
otherwise ; none, none in the world.
The eyes of the world are upon na, the represen
tatives of one of the mightiest nations of the
earth, which, great as it is, has not even reached
its manhood. What is the character of the de
bates to which we are called upon to listen? We
hesr speeches delivered from these high places,
not to convince the public mind, and direct it to
the support of the Constitution and the great inte
rests of all the people ol this oountry, but uttered
for the purpose of prejudicing the public mind, to
inflame tbs hearts of many of oar people agnux-v
the institutions of the country, to reuse a feeling
of excitement between sections; is it to benefit the
kingdom on high ? Is it for the benefit of the 1
country in which we live? No llt must be either I
to give to the individual who thus attempt to in- 1
flame the public mind a local popnlarity, or togra- 1
tify a feeling of malignity in the one seotion or
the other of this Union. Is this right? Is it pat
riotic ? Is it honorable ? Is it just to attempt to
make the Senate a mere instrumentality to affect
the opinions of the people one to another, or the
sections one to another? Strip this question, Mr. i
President, of the flimsy veil which, out ot this i
House, I would call political hypocrisy, and pre- I
sent it fairly to the judgment, tne honor and the i
hearts of the American people, and there will be i
no difficulty about it. Now, ia it not wonderful <
that men who have lived out more than half their <
days, some of them approaching their three score
and ten, for individual purposes of self aggrandize- '
ment, governed by no higher morality or sense of :
obligation to the Christian religion than myself, I
should attempt to distract oar country, and make i
our people discontented, dissatisfied and unhappy ? 1
1 am speaking with no unkindness. It is no part '
of my heart crof my life to be unkind to my follow- ;
man, white, black, or red. i
What are we about to do? Gentlemen go off in- t
to ossays upon great questions, scarcely having any t
connection with the points directly before us. <
publish their speeches in almost volumes, spread t
them out before the country, and misrepresent (
the questions before ns. Sir, wo—pardon me for t
the expression—should be a parliamentary deba- t
ting body instead of essay writers and long ora- l
tion-mabers, We should test the point presented
to the body and debate it, so as to elicit truth and c
bring about an understanding of the snbject, and t
the objects we have in view. What, sir, are the a
questions before us ? There is a Territory known c
as Nebraska. Who does it belong to? The i
States of this Union ; and it is in the hands of the c
general government for administration. We ae- a
quired it m 1808 ; and the question is whether it \
shall be organized. Here 1 beg my friend from \
Tennessee to hear mo; for there is a feeling, per- t
sonal and political between us, which has existed 1
bo long, and so kindly, and so purely, that I could j
□ot for a moment find the disposition in my heart e
to separate from him. I hope to be able to show c
him that he and 1 can Btand together, and work t
together. Let me say to him, further, thatal- t
though the subject has heretofore beon so tho- <
roughly and ably discussed, his speech was able, s
and dees honor to his head as a statesman—not s
as a southern man, but as a man efthe Union.— c
Shall this Territory be organized ? That is the 1
first question before us. c
Nobody denies the right or the power of Con- g
gross to organise territorial governments in this j
Territory. Then what are the objections to it J — t
Let us take up those objections and. consider them, t
and not mingle them with tho various questions s
which have been so unnecessarily oonneotsd with l
this matter. c
The first objection is, that there are not people i
enough in the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas t
for the organization of a government. That is a i
matter of judgment and of discretion depending
npon facts, flow are we to get at the facts of the c
case? We are to get them from the people them- i
selves, the foundation of our government. When <
acting as Senators, representing the sovereignty of i
tho States, if we desire to know the will of onr c
constituents, who are one degree removed from 1
us, wo must look to the House, composed of the c
immediate representatives of the people. At the
last session of Congress a Nebraska bill was passed
by the House of Representatives, and came to this
body. I united with my friend from Tennessee <
then in favor of postponing the organization of c
that Territory. I recollect the eloquent speeoh t
which he made on the subject on the morning of c
tho 4th of March last. r
WJwt ©conned then? Did we deny the power i
ofuoi'gteSS to' dTgsnfze a territorial government i
in this region ? No, sir. We opposed it beoause t
we regarded it as (tasty and inoonsiderate legisla
tion, and a violation of the treaties made with the
Indians within the limits of Nebraska. Is not that
an evidence that the people demanded the organi- c
zation of a Territory there ? If they did not the '
Houso of Representatives mistook the views of j
their constituency. Upon any question of right j
which can originate with the people lam ready to r
hear their voice. Whon they speak to me as a t
politician they speak bnt to command, and com- e
mand but to be obeyed. So far, then, the objeo- r
tion of a want of people avails nothing, because it a
has been determined by the proper tribunal.
What, Mr. President, is the next objection to
the bill I It is one which was made by my distin
guished, personal, and political friend from Mas- v
sachusetts, [Mr. Everett,] and by my friend from
Tennessee. It is that it violates the Indian troa- t
ties which have been made by us. They are obli- i
gatory upon ns, and I shall endeavor to preserve t
their provisions. Whenever, personally or politi-. s
oally, I have plighted my faith with an Indian, ora g
white man, or a black man, I will Btand to my en- a
gagement so long as the obligations remain recip- t
robal. I wish to show, not only to my friends g
hero, but to tho people whom I represent, why c
we should not be influenced by this objection. r
How many Indians are there within these Terri- r
tories ? c
Mr. Bell. Some twenty or thirty thousand
in the lowor Territory, and forty thousand in the f
upper. t
Mr. Dawson. I havo heard that thero are about t
fifty thousand red men in the Territory ; and the 1
queetion is, whether, if our people require thero
lands forsettlement, we shall allow them to be pre
vented by fifty thousand wandering Indians, who
merely traverso the country 1 ]
Mr. 8011. There are ten thousand of the emi- j
gran* tribes. i
Mr. Dawson. I will speak of them presently, j
but I refer now to the whole number of Indians;
and I ask, Bhall they occupy five hundred thou
sand square miles of land ? Shall we refuse to
place a government over our own property of five f
hundred thousand square miles in extent, equal to <
eight States, when there are but ten thousand In- I
diansto whom you are under obligations f j
Mr. Bell. I do not wish the gentleman to be i
misled. I was speaking of the Territory of Kansas i
west of Missouri. These large tiibea are north, |
in Nebraska. ,
Mr. Dawson. 1 understand that; and hence it
was that I put the whole number atflity thousand.
Is there any obligation npon us to allow this num
ber of Indians to occupy suoh a vast extent ofter- |
ritory! Gentlemen must recolleot that when they '
make a ohargo of a violation of plighted honor 1
and plighted faith in our dealings with the red i
man, it tends to degrade the character of our 1
country, not only in the eyes |of our own people
but of the civilised world. Is it just the impres
sion should go out that we are violating plighted
faith with the Indians on such a stato of tacts f
Are five hundred thousand square miles of land
to be occupied forever by a few wandering tribes
of Indians, who have no fixed locality, and who
do not make the land useftil by following agricul
tural pursuits! Because we propose to throw it
opeu to settlement and cultivation is the world to
be told that we, Amerioan Senators, are violating
our plighted faith to these people; and ia our cha
racter as a nation to be injured at home and abroad
on this account 1
Sir, a statesman should never use arguments
which are calculated to do injustice to his oountry,
and to depreciate the reputation of the body to
which he belongs. Yet, sir, both the Senators to
which l have referred have suggested or intimated
objections on this ground. I will say to my friend
from Tennessee that he is a most prudent man.
He nas argued the question ably on both aides;
and if a majority of our friends here shall go for
the bill he is bound te do so, under his argument.
He made objections on this ground. My friend
from Massachcusetts, [Mr. Everett,] who touched
the subject so ably, and with such beaetifal lan
guage, said that he had objections to the bill on the
ground of our obligations to the Indians: but he
said further, that he had confidence in the body
with which he was associated, and believed them
to be controlled by principles of justice, philan
thropy and liberality towards these tribe*, and
therefore would waive these objections, and leave
them in the hands o's those whose duty it is to
protect the rights of the people.
I say now ror myself, that if this bill does not
protect the rights of the Indian tribes with whom
we have treaties, and does not do all that the ob
ligations of justice, humanity, and philanthropy
require, I shall vote against it.
Besides the two objections which I have named,
is there any other objection to the organisa
tion of a territorial government over this vast
region > It has been objected that the chairman
of the Committee on Territories has proposed to
form two Territories, Kansas and Nebraska, in
stead of one. Why, that is a matter of discretion.
Here is a region of five hundred thousand square
miles; where would you locate the seat of govern
ment, so as to make it convenient, and comfortable
and liberal, towards a population spread over such
an immense surface! The smallest matter of the
expense of an additional territorial government
weighs not a feather in the scale against doing jus
tice to the noble pioneers who first settle on yonr
lands. I take occasion here to say, that I was bora
within a few miles of the border, and I know
something about the character and feelingß of the
population to whom I have refer! ed. I know tbeir
nature and their love of jnstioe; and whenever I
can close my heart or my pelitloal action against
liberality to them, I want to leave the legislative
body to which I belong. These men are scattered
over a country which ia subject to Indian depreda
tions, by which they suffer. They and their fam
ilies ran the risk of being put to death. They go
as the pioneers of civilization, and it is your duty
to extend to tuem protection, and conveniences,
and advantages which you do not give to the slow
moving man of wealth. It seems to me, therefore,
that the objection that it is improper to create tw#
F Territories over a oountry of five hundred thou
sand square miles is not one which should have
weight with the beast*.
Is there any other objection to the organization
i of these two Territories I Ido not know of any
Other which was sufficiently strong to make an im
pression on my mind. I h»ve disposed, there
t tore, of the objections to the organ iaaxion.
Now, sir, the next question is, how are these
r Territories to be organized 1 There aeemc to b* a
r division ofaentiment npon this point. Some wish
i to have a governor, and a few other gentlemen
I oompose a oouncil and govern them. This bill
- provides for a governor and legislative body to be
e ohosen by the people. I have ona observation to
II mtkfi upon this mattar, which I think will cover
a a gnat deal of the argument. The people who
settle there ere American artisans, entitled, under
the Constitution of the U nitsd Statea, Wtn aam<
privileges and immunities which yonHkfl {possess
and enjoy. They are entitled to tbs right of .vo
ting for those who are to males laws govern
them. Our principle of government is, that the
representatives of the people alona shall£aka laws
to govern them. Those of us who »r» friendly to
i this bill say, let the people elect their legislature,
they know belter whom to choose to goMgp them
ana control and manage their rights than, we do.
Where ia the man who at thia day wqul&fgy that
there is any power known to the Conetfcartion or
any part or the organiaation of thia government,
which oan take away the rapiesentativfl right of
citizena of the United States? However we may
differ on other matters, sll of na will yield that
The next qneation ia, should that legislative
oouncil, thus chosen by the people have the right
of making laws to govern all the domaattMoooern
of that people—plenary power like
We impose one limitation upon lha exercise of
their power. W hat is that limitation ? It ia, that
they shall legislate subject to the of
the United States. That Constitution limits them
ae well as it does na, and we proposa l* oonfer
upon them all the powers of self-government
which any other people in thia countiyhgj|snnder
the limitations or the Constitution. The difficul
ty thst originates here, ia sa to the power of the
people while in a territorial condition. My friend
from Michigan (Mr. Casa) has one view on that
point; and my friend from Bonth Carolina (Mr.
Butler) has another. These differences of opin
ion are those which arise from the varietyaf mind
and the various modes of reasoning. This con
flict between them however, is surrendered; and
how is it surrendered I By yielding on befh sides
owning very nearly, I will acknowledfa, to the
platform of my friend from Michigan, and 7 giving
to the people the right of self-government, subject
to the Consltitntion.
The difficulty in the minds of those whs Were
against this bill in tbs beginning was, that': if the
territorial Legislators had powsr to make laws
upon the snbjeot of slavery, they might frMMate
it in—and some thought they might legislate it
The difficulty was that we were divided ip.opin
ion kora m to whether we would allow • irri
long* to a State!" ThmMingeiSuothe conrideiv
ation of the point: what manner of people shall
settle within these Territories ? There is not a
Senator here who denies that ell the oitixens of
the United States have a oommon interest in the
common property of the oonntry. We should
understand each other upon this point. We of
the South say that the Missouri compromise set,
whioh was passed in 1880, restricts oar rights ee
to the country north of J# deg. 80 min. Gentle
men of the North admit that it is true. Then we
say to them that act is unconstitutional, and many
statesmen of the North, eminent for their intel
lect, eminent for their liberality, eminent for their
independence, announce that it is unconstitution
al. Others say to us : “We cannot go so hr as to
deolare it unconstitutional, but it is our decided
opinion, as Amerioans, as brothers, acknowledging
your rights to be equal to oura, that it is inexpa
disntand unjust to impose such a limitation upon
you." Thie is magnanimity. This is exercise of
heart andjudgement, uninfluenced by fanaticism
or prejudice, and it becomes an honeetman. But
there is still another olase, who say to us: “It
was unconstitutional; bnt in 1880 the men of
your section pledged there frith as honest men to
abide by this compromise, and whether constitu
tional or not, you ought to stick to it." Sir, if
that compromise of 1880 bad been recognised as a
oompaot between tbs North and South; if both
the North and the South bad honestly and sin
cerely abided by it without any concealment or
trickery, I would have surrendered my seat on
this floor before 1 oould consent to violate or an
nul it.
We have beard elaborate discussions aa to the
question of plighted fsith between the two sec
tions. I have heard the arguments npon both
sides, and I will not discuss it now, because I
could not add to what bis been said upon it. I
will merely say, the speeohes which have been
delivered, and especially the speeches of the Sen
ator from Tennessee and the Senator from Dela
ware, within the last two or three days, wonld con
vince any twelve men, taken from the oity of Bos
ton or New York, that the South is under no ob
ligation to abide by the compromise. Now, as a
plain man, a fair man, I ask, bow oonld any one
stand up and tell another, whether from the North
or from the Sonth, the East or from the West,
that, as the representative of his constituency, the
South had violated an obligation whioh dishonor
ed them? Suppose we were conversing upon a
subject in private, wonld one gentleman, under
similar oiroumatances, taunt another with dishon
or, and say he had violated his compact, when he
knew he had not ? I am willing to submit the
question to the oalm decision, to the honor of the
American people, uninfluenced by lhnaticiem or
prejudice, and their verdiot will be according to
troth and justice. I fear that those who predict
that agitation will follow this act, desire that it
should. Although this glorious country of onrs
has secured to them the freedom of abusing their
oolleagues, and of abasing the Constitution nnder
whioh thisglorioas Union was formed, still, under
this feeling, they would try to destroy its compro
mises, and orosh all of ns who do not yield.
But, Mr. President, there ia another question
oonneoted with this point. My friend from Ten
nessee has no idea of the powers which he display
ed to-day in arguing the nnconstitutionality and
inexpediency of the sot establishing the Missouri
compromise line ; bnt yet he stands trambling
like an aspen leaf for fear an sot of jnstioe, a de
claration of the truth, should exoite the American
>eople, and disturb the harmony of the Union,
lave we got to that period, in the Senate of the
United States, when we believe that the character
of onr people is snch that neither troth nor justice
cau receive support from them ? He who believes
that of the Amerioan people had better haul down
onr flag; for if this be trno, it floats over a peopla
who are not worthy of its protection. Bat I have
no snch fears. The same predictions were made
here Iriltttf yet tL- wea»u.«. whl,C -* „ tbfci
adopted have been approved by the people with
treat unanimity. My friend from Massachusetts,
Mr. Everett,] and my friend from Tennessee, [Mr.
Sell,] should be aware of the fact that I am advo
cating tbe principles which wera adopted in 1850.
The principle is, that tbe territory ia the oommon
property of the Union, and ia to be settled by the
people of a oommon country; thatthera shall be
no barriers to the rights of any portion ; and when
the territory has sufficient population to be form
ed into a State, it shall oome Into the Union with a
republican form of government, with or without
slavery, aa its people may deoide. Is not this the
i irinciple involved in this bill? Talk it plainly,
fell it to the people exactly aa it is. Conceal noth
ing in a multiplicity of words, and the people
will be satisfied.
Will any one dare aay that the principle of the <
bill ia not the American principle; the principle (
upon which onr whole eyetem of government is
based—the right of the people to govern them- i
selves I My colleague [Mr. Toombs] asked with (
great propriety, by what right bat this did oar ]
ancestors rebel against Lord North and hie minis- I
try! Oar forefathers rebelled because the English i
government was attempting to do things without \
onr consent whioh were Inconsistent vfith our <
rights, and we contended then that we had the ]
right of saying who should make laws to govern
us. Why should we ebjeot to the principle now I 1
The senator from Ohio, [Mr Chase,] the senator ]
from Maasoshusetts, [Mr. Sumner,] and the sena
tor from Hew York, [Mr. Seward,] object to the
application of this pnneipio, because say they the
Missouri compromise stands in the way, and our
flighted faith requires us not to remove it. Whyt
iecause humanity and philanthrophy demand
that this Une shall exist I Is that their reason I
If so, let me ask how does it extend humanity and
philanthrophy t Siv does It benefit the white
man or the slack man I Let us examine this, point
for a moment. Here is their doctrine. Let me
present it fairly, for I wish to be comprehended
n everything that I utter. They say that slavery
oould be restricted by this government in every
State of the Union, Bave the old thirteen; or. in
other words, that the Congress of the United
States had a right to prohibit slavery in all the
States coming into the Union after the formation
Os the Constitution. Now, why do thpy want
alavery restricted there I Is it for philanthropic
purposes fls it for the benefit of the negro I You
acknowledge that he cannot be mahumitted in the
iresent stale of sooiety, with the present state of
Seeling in the existing condition of the country.
What do they wish to dot Their conduct is
precisely like that of an army besieging » city, and
confining every malt within! lta wails, snd preven
ting him from going outside them. For what pnr
§ose does a commanding general give inch an or
er f To oonquer the city, to destroy its inhsbi
tsnts and means of subslstenoe, to make them
wretched and unhappy, to drive them into sub
mission. Why, sir, I should Consider it tne moat
ungenerous and most unkind feeling under hea
ven, if my good Wend from Maessehusetts [Mr.
Everett] was to attempt to pen me np upon fear
hundred acres of laud with my negroes, whom he
knew oame to me as an inheritance from my pro
genitor. And when he knew alga, that they or
their ancestor? oame into the oountry through the
porta of Boston, New York, Norfolk, and other
cities, under the reoognieed principles of onr go
vernment. Originally slavery existed all over the
oountry; and as the wave of manumission rolled
from north to south, the slaves floated on the top,
snd found their way into the southern States, with
a fair consideration paid for them; and that by
the ebbing of the tide oarried the prooeeds back to
the north, where it has been invested in manufac
tures, and where the fortunes of many Lave been
founded ujtpn the African slave trade. Would it
not be unkind to aay “I will pen you down with
your negroes to yonr four hundred sores of land:
have got the power, under ‘die government, to
throw around yen a cordon of free Mates, or a pow
er which will keep you confined to one spot until
the reproduction ofyonr family,.white and black,
will become so great, that safiering of every kind
will press upon yon until yon die or suDeuaer.”
That is the prinoipl? winch would be philan
thropists are inculcating.
No man in privets life would dsre to make each
a proposition to circumscribe, Control and perse
cute me. Would I submit to'a government which
would do any such thing 1 Moderate man as I
am, loving this government >a I do, having an af
fectionate regard for the Union, so help me God,
1 would not submit to be hedged in and degraded
in this way. I would rebel in order to protect
my inallienable and natural rights like ? men,
rather than be o rushed Otytay each a power.
How, lam speaking the sentiment of a man who
you all know loves this Hnion almost without a
limitation. But there should be moderation in all
cases. Kindness and sensibility, and propriety,
and juatioe, and magnanimity, should never be
abandoned for any political considerations, and
especially not lor the purpose of gratifying fanati
cism.
Look at the intolerant proceeding of England.
Look at the conflict between chnrchet there, aris
ing out of a similar feeling ; see how much pure
generous blood has been spilled, merely to gratify
similar fanaticism. I am to be the victim of such
proceedings, because it ia said that I am a aonth
em man. And ao I am. lam attached to the
place that gave me birth. I am attached to the
inatitationa andcr which I was reared, and whioh
have protected me down to this hour. I would
never violate a single right of a northern man. I
would never encroach on a single privilege guar
antied to the North by the Oonsutntton. In all
my legislative oeuise, where i* the vote which I ‘
have ever given to restrict the right, the prosperi
ty, or the interests of any one section of this coun
try 1 W here is the set of generosity <vj
ty in which 1 have failed 1 Yet,
the idea is pressed upon yon that a cordon of free

society, in any part *f the world, done so much
lor them as we nave in bringing them over to this
O'jotelliganoe, civilization, and Christianity ?
lhe Old Puritans knew of what benefit it was, and
they brought the Afrioana over and sold them to
na, that we might act as missionaries to them, giv
ing them a knowledge of their Creator, a know
ledge of the necessity ot self-government, and
learning how to guide themselves. Look at the
slaves in yonr various hotels, and on your car
nage boxes, and compare them with the natives of
Africa.
When I look into this matter, it seems to me
that men bo intelligent as some woom X see, ought
to be ashamed to tell me that our forefathers were
guilty of a monstrous error in biinging up these
negroes and improving them, until they have
reached to their present condition of mind and
Christianity. Why they were permitted to be
brought here I oannot say. I cannot tell why I
aorta of woes and sorrows and afflictions? Why
these people from Afrioe were permitted to be
brought here Ido not undertake to say. Where
is there a man out of ail these philantropists who
oould alter the condition of the negroes of the
south for the better ? What oould he do : He
might possibly render unhappy, not merely all
oonneoted with this institution, bnt every human
being oonneoted with the’ government, for yon
oannot stab a constitutional right of the South
without its reacting and punishing the North.—
There is harmony in the mode of our government
and in the oontrol of our institutions which leads
to prosperity in every part and section of the
Union; and whenever you disturb it, it is like dis
turbing the body. Prick the eye, and yon irritate
tho whole.
But gentlemen tell me that this agitation will
never atop. There was nothing in the speech of
the Senator from New York which fell upon me
so appallingly as that declaration ; and why ? Be
cause it seemed that ho wanted to continue his agi
tation. For what purpose ? Is he sincere in the
belief that it will improve the condition of the
slave, or will drive tne master into manumission?
Certainly not. Why then does he urge it ? Be
cause of the distempered condition of tho publio
mind. However intelligent a country may be, dis
tempers of this kind, which we usually call fanati
cisms, will exist. In a representative elective go
vernment like ours, where all men over the'age
of 21 years can vote, there is a class who can be led ,
for political purposes. Possibly it isa part ofpoliti- ,
cal machinery to keep tnia matter in agitation, in
order to keep one party or tho other ont of power; |
but I ask, is it patriotic, is it fair, is it just to your
selves and to posterity, for you to agitate for politi- j
oal purposes questions over which you have no |
oontrol ? It seems to me that at night in his
his oloset, if a man would search his thoughts, and ,
disoover that he had been governed by such a ,
motive, he would feel humiliated; and yet I know |
I have bad it suggested to mo tbat we might so j
act as to control this particular influence, and lead ,
it to onr ranks. Such a course might have been (
pardoned at one time; bat when that corps whioh ,
is to be led in this way, is driving this agitation
liKe a battering ram against the Constitntion of tho
country and the union of these States, do not pat
riotism, honor, and honesty, demand that you
should stop and attempt to counsel with, instead
of leading prejudice and fanaticism ? It certainly *
ought to be so. How are disastrous results to be 1
prevented from this agitation ? Let tbo leading
men of the country make patriots of themselveß ; ,
Ist them have hearts for the Union, for the Consti- |
tution, for the country, and for tho happiness of
mankind, including the negroes, and all will be ]
well.
Columbia and Hamburg Railroad.
The Commissioners will open their books on
Monday next for snosoriptions to this rosd. What
will Columbia do ?
We trust onr worthy Intendent will call a meet
ing of the tax-paying citizens, to instruct them
whst to do in tneir corporate oapscity. In consi
dering the propriety of s subscription by the town,
we think the most proper course will be to tarn
over to this road the stock in the Charlotte road.
The subscription to that road was made for the
purpose of getting the road bnilt, and sot os an
nvestment. The object has been attained, and it
is now the interest of Columbia to subscribe to
another rosd, to extend the commercial and social
advantages of Columbia, and to place her on the
highway of travel between the north and south
west. The roads in North Carolina are rapidly
iregressing to unite with those in Virginia, and
;he Columbia and Hamburg road will be the only
link needed to connect the great obain of travel
between New York and New Orleans. The sub
scription to the Charlotte rosd has served i>e pur
poses ; let it be transferred to tbe other road, and
'sssttfisaaas'ya
can he no doubt. A short road of seventy miles,
chiefly s passenger road, needing no large outlay
in machinery, fed with the travel from the rail
roads in all direction, it must be profitable. Open
ing to ns the produce of the west, as well as the
granaries of Georgia and Tennessee on the one
side, and connecting on the other with thpae of
North Carolina and Virginia, Columbia mußt be
largely benefited, besides the stock being valuable
to the stockholders. The lumber region through
which nearly the whole road passes will be brought
into use, and that produce will open a new source
of supply to North Ctrolins, now calling upon us
for tbe mesne of building up her towns. Turpen
tine is becoming a product of importance, and that
will also be a contribution of freight made by the
establishment of the road, which alone c*n bring
on its manufacture.
Onr friends of Savannah are interested in this
road, which will place her within nine hours of
Columbia, since the Waynesboro’ road now enables
her oitlzens to roaoh Augusta in five hours, and
by the Columbia road it will scarcely require four
more to arrive at our capital. This will aid very
much the summer travel of the low oountry of
Georgia, and in connection with onr Greenville
road, carry baok to Buncombe, tbe Switzerland of
America, those orowds of Georgians who formerly
flocked to the invigorating atmosphere of the Blue
Ridge.
We expect a large subscription from Georgia
and North Carolina to help us in this onUrprise,
and Lexington and Edgefield will pot bo back
ward iQ the adoption of the spirit of the age—the
great progressive stride of railroad civilization.
Let us all come up to the books liberally, and all
subscribe in proportion to their mesma, We will
find every raflroa; to our tdwn will add to our re
sources and individual interests. Wo made one sad
mistake in non-oonnexion with Camden, let ns not
lose that with Hamburg.—No. Carolinian.

Experiments with Ruano In 1888.
Messrs. Editors: I submit for (ha benefit of yonr
subscribers the following results of experiments
made tfith this"(fertiliser bn the plantation of Capt.
Strother. For application to the soil it was pre
wired With 18 bags of Guano, 7 barrels of ground
faster of Paris mixed, and moistened with very
strong salt and water. The ground was 'then laid
off by running one furrow, end following in that
with a sm»U bun tongue shovel plough as deep as
it oould well go. Then from small buckets or
baskets convenient to handle, each hand taking
his row, the preparation was sprinkled in varions
quantities to the acre. This was easily and quickly
dons.
The qnality of the land yjzs as uniform as pos
sible in any piece of ground of that area—2s acres.
It was plafited about*he 20th of April ; worked
equally: picket at the same time, and each picking
weighed separately. The following are the results;
One acre without manure. 6*2 lbs.
“ “ with 10Q lha. of gUano.... .1018 lbs.
“ with 150 lbs. of guan0...;.1191 lbs.
“ “ with 50 lbs. of guano..... 860 lbs.
“ “ with 200 lbs. of guano TQO lbs.
The 200 lbs. aero was a very bad stand, and the
land more thirsty. was not by any means a fair
experiment perhaps more convincing I
was on a piece of land (old field) just taken iu
side by side with the same old field, oow-penned
some few years ago. Some of It was oow-penned
but recently, and ail excepting that on which the
guano waa applied was manured with stable and
oow-pen compost.
The part oow-penned and manured with the com
post yielded per acre 869 lbs.
The acre with 87 lbsi of guano 600 lbs.
The above experiments were made on grey
lands on Captain J. D. Strother’s place, (Goose
Pond,) 5 miles below your town. The season, as
all know was very unfavorable and the old field,
taken in sdjoiningthe cow-penned land, thin old
land with a few old fields pines growing on it. On
the remainder of the 25 acres it was applied at the
rata of 75 lbs. to the sere, after the experimental
aersa were manured and the whole averaged 76*
lbs- per aore.
If the above will in any way benefit yonr readers
yon may publish it, and any one desirous of fur
ther information will please call on Capt. Strother
or myself, and ws will cheerfully impart it to him.

fugitive slave already mentioned in onr colams
On the night of Friday last, Joshua Glover, an
alleged fugitive from Missouri, was arrested near
the oity of Racine, on a warrant ißsned by Judge
Miller, of this city. On the next morning, a large
meeting was held at Racine, denouncing the vio
lent manner in whioh the arrest was made.
Said Glover was brought to this oity on Friday
night and plaoed in jail; his case was to havo been
heard yesterday, at 2 o’clock, but Judge Miller
deolined, fearing a rescue, and had postponed the
case, until Monday morning, at 10 o’olock. On
Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, under a call, a
large and exoited meeting convened in the court
house square. Dr. E. B. Woloott presided;
speeohes were made by Mr. Booth, Gen. Paine,
Brvon Paine, aad A. H. Bielfeld,»(in German.)
A vigilance oommittee of twenty-five with power
to add to their nnmber, and to oall a meeting by
ringing the bells, was appointed.
In the meanwhile, a writ of habeas corpus was
issued by Judge Jenkins, whioh tho U. 8. Mar
shal, under the advice of the U. S. Jndge, refused
to obey. This denial Intensely exasperated the
orowd, and they thereupon determined to release
said Glover. They went to work deliberately,
broke open the doors with a beam and axes, and
carried him off in triumph to Baoine, where we
learn that he now is,
The persons who were engaged in these proceed
ings were sober, end were composed of Amti loans,
Germans and Irishmen. It Is stated that “the
refused to call out the military companies unless
every form and requirement of law wore strictly
complied with;” aud we lesrn that six oaptains of
vessels were on the ground armed with revolvers
and prepared to qse them. In the afternoou boat,
a delegation from Racine, numbering 80 persons,
came to Milwauke, and marched to t(ie court house
in preoession to sustain the alleged fugative, and
after bis rescue, they returned to Baoine with the i
fugitive—acting aa a body guard.
The slave owner, B. 8. Garland, of St. Lonis,
was subsequently arrested for assault and battery,
and was about being oonveyed to Racine for trial,
but Judge Miller granted a writ of habeas corpus,
which is returnable this morning. In the mean-'
while, said Garland was placed la the custody of
the U. 8. Marshal. These we believe are the prom
inent facts In the case.
There will be a question elsewhere, why WZS
there so intense an excitement here I There can
not be a doubt that the attempted repeal of the
Missouri compromise has so far exasperated many,
that they consider themselves absolved from the
obligation to enforce the fugitive slave law, whioh
was a compromise measure yielded to the South
for the sake of a permanent settlement of the
slavery queetion.
We mention this oiroumstanoe as ona of the
reasons whioh incited some of ibe irst men in the
city for oharacter, honesty aud integrity,' to give
all the jGsntenanoe they oonld to this rescue. Still
even they will, in their oooler moments, fact that a
respect for law and order under our form of gov
ernment is the only way to accomplish any perma
nent good. » " 1 *

To Y?* j G,b “—® T ow > J®*—Ladies, you are
caged birds of beautiful plumage, but sickly looks;
you pale pets of the parlor, vogetsting in an un
healthy shade with a greenish oomplexion, like that
of a potato© sprout in a dark cellar—why dout you
go out into the open air and add lustre to your
eyes, bloom to your oheeks, elasticity to your steps
and vigor to jour frames? Take early morning
-‘ e t loose yonr oorset strings and run up
the hill for a wager, and down again for fun.
Liberty thus exeroieed and enjoyed, will tender
you healthy, blooming and beautiful—as lovely as
the Graces and as prolific as Devona. The
buxom, trigut-eyed, rosy-cheeked, full-breasted
bouncing lass—who can darn a stocking, ra°nd
trowsers, make her own frocks, command a regi
ment, of pots and kettles, feed the pigs, milk the
cows, and be a lady withal in company—is just
the soft of girl tor me or any other young man to
marry. But you, ye pining, lolling, screwed np,
waep-waisted, doll dressed, patty faced, consump
tion mortgaged, music-murdering, novel-devour
ing daughters of fashion and idleness—yon are no
more fit for matrimony than a pallet ia to take care
of 14 chickens. The troth is, my girls, you want,
generally speaking, more liberty aud less fashiona
ble restraint; more lag exercise and less sofs:
more padding and less piano; more frankness and
leas mock modesty; more corned beef and steak
and less bishop. Loosen yourselves a little;
enjoy more liberty and less restraint by fashion.
Breathe the pure atmosphere and freedom, and
become something nearly as lovely and beantiffil
as tbs God of Nstore designed.

Fmci’i Administration at Tammant Haul.—
The recent anti-slavery excitement, and tbe Ne

signed his leadership and Captain Rynders to have

ceded the last election, John Van Boren stood at
the head of the party. and Ciptain Evaders at the
tail. Tfcsir position la now reversed, John Ms

Impressed witn the gratifying and substantial in
dications of the commercial progress of Savannah,
and the facilities presented by her merohant ma
rine and railway connexions for the rapid transit
of merchandise and produoe to and from all
parts of this and the adjoining States. The
wharves were alive with the aotivity and stir
whioh denote the vitality and animation of busi
ness ; the trains of oar great railroad and its
branches are orowded with goods going forward ;
while the ooanters of the various trading estab
lishments of the city present an inviting array of
Bpring atooks, both for the retail and wholesale
I purchaser.
i Some idea may be formed of the extent of the
I freighting business done by oar New York and
Philadelphia steamship lines, from the following
i partial statement of the plaoes to whioh goods
brought out by the Knoxville and State of Geor-
F gia, on their last trips, are destined. And first of
, the Knoxville from New York: Os the oargo which
was discharging daring our visit to her, we noticed
goods destined for Charleston, in South Carolina—
for Montgomery, Wetumpka,Tuskeegee, Frank
lin, Autagaville, Benton, Clay, Hill, Portland,
Pratville, Marion, Cahaba, Berlin, and other points
in Alabama—for Knoxville, Chattanooga, Green
ville, Dandridge, and other towns, in Tennessee—
for Augusta, Maoon. Milledgoville, Columbus,
Griffin, Atlanta, Madißon, Albany, Thomaston,
Americas, Sparta, Hillsborough, Washington«feo..

i don, Deostar, Greenville, Dandridge, and Mary
i ville, in Tennessee—and to Charleston, Yorkvilte,
Newberry, and Chester, in South Carolina. This,
it should be remembered, ie only a partial list of
the points for whioh the osrgoea of these steamers
are intended; it is sufficient nevertheloes, to givo
the reader Borne idea of the extant of the business
wb !ch (tie,’ Mt\ c. . **• ‘r
It should be no cause of surprise, however, that
our steamship and railway lines reeeive suob libe
ral patronage from the trading pnblio. The line
from Savannah to Philadelphia ombraoes two first
class ocean steamships, the State of Georgia and
the Keystone State, whioh sail from the two ports
every Wednesday ; while the line to New York
embraces the Knoxville, Augusta, Florida, and
Alabama, four as fine steamers ss are afloat. Their
sailing days are every Wednesday and Saturday.
The facilities whioh theee lines oner for the rapid
transportation of passengers and freights are un
rivalled, either for speed or for safety. To these
should be added the various lines of sailing ves
sels between this and Northern ports, whioh do a
heavy freighting business also, and furnish a ssfo
and cheap means of transportation.
But great as are the facilities for aeoommodating
the business which Becks an inlet and outlet here,
they do not surpass those presented by our rail
way improvements and their connexions for reach
ing the interior. The Central Boad, with its stems
and continuations, is not unlike sn outstretched
arm and hand, of whiob the main trank from Sa
vannah to Maoon represents the arm, while the
lines loading off to Augusta, to Milledgoville aud
Eatonton, to Atlanta and Chattanooga, to Ogle
thorpe, and to Columbus, correspond with tho fin
gers. These lines place Savannah in direot and
Bpeedy communication with every point in the
State accessible by railway, and enable passengers
and freight landed here, to reaoh their placeß of
destination more directly and oonveniently than
from any other Atlantic port.
The completion of the Waynesbero Boad has
not only brought Augusta within a few hours
ride, but it has openod up to our business men all
Northeastern Georgia, a section whioh has hereto
fore been a sealed book to Savannah. And the
advantages of this improvement are already being
realized. It was only the other day that we met an
acquaintance from Greensboro, who had left bis
home at 11 o’clock in the morning, was purchasing
his supplies here the next morning, and expected
to armvo at home at 11 the following morning,
after spending an entire day here—thus accom
plishing tho trip and attending to hia business
within 48 hours. We may remark in passing, that
the consummation of an enterprise which opens so
auspiciously, deserves to be celebrated in some
more imposing manner than by a flying, though
pleasant trip, over the Bond. In addition to all
those facilities, we possess the further advantage
of river navigation as for as Augusta, for the trans
portation of heavy freights.
Upon a survey of the whole field, we see every
thing to encourage, and nothing to discourage,
those whoeo fortunes are embarked here. Savan
nah must necessarily beoome the base of an im
mense commercial system, not merely
Georgia, bnt the greater portions of Florida, Ala
bama and Tennessee, and at no vary distant day,
important portions sis Mississippi and Kontucky.
To this consummation things are rabidly and surely
tending, and no rivalry oan prevent it. Addition
al banking oapital, a more intimate acquaintance
with the people and resonroea <ff the country,
further hotel accommodations, and the observance
of theeame cautious policy in the future whioh has
marked our undertakings in the past, are all that
is necessary to place Savannah in a position
second in its trade and iimportance to no Atlantio
oity South of New York.-? Savannah JitpullUm,

An OaiaiNai.SuaonmoN.-~.Apropos of the mea- ,
sures takon in New York by the Hot Corn and Old
Brewery philanthropists for tho reform and in- :
atruction of the children of the poor and vioious of
the Five Foints, the Tribane invokes some oon- .
sideration for the children of the rich, whom it
seems to regard as in a far more “parlous state’’
than the others. The taditor calls on Parson

expenditures, at sn outlay of between twenty and
thirty thousand dollars a year.

theae Five Point philanthropists to the fact that,
aa they pass along Broadway they may see juve
nile faces about noon-day fiTling the porches' and

asks thorn how they would like to see a sou of

Dreadful Case ox Hydrophobia. —The Charles
town (Mass.) Advertiser, relates the painful par
ticulars of the death of a lad in that oity, named
John W. Homans, from the bite of a mad dog.
The boy was bitten on the 27tb January, and a
physician being called, some simple remedies
were applied, it not being supposed that the dog
was mad. In a few days the wound healed, and
the hoy was again out until Sunday last, when
he complained of chills, waa drowsy, snd irrita
ble. In the afternoon of that day, his eyes look
ed wild end deranged, and the next day spasms
followed, whioh continued until his deatn, on
Tuesday afternoon. The Advertiser describes the
terrible symptoms of the ease as follows: “ The
oase was pronounoed by the attending pbysioiaos,
as the moat painful they ever witnessed. The
boy was sensible throughout, as would seam,
though not knowing the oause of his siokness, all
allusion to the fact being carefully avoided; and
on being asked what was the matter with him, he
firomptly replied that he had a terrible fever. The
east breath of airin the room, and such as would
not be noticed by othera, would cause the most
violent and painfril irritations; in fact the boy waa
in a perfect treaty ail the time, tossing about aDd
tearing everything, and had to be constantly re
strained, whioh state constantly increased in ylo
lenoe from Monday evening. The case perfeotly
baffled medical skill, and all that could bo done by
the physicians was in a measure to allay its vio
lence by spirits,’'

i Fattening Podliut.—Mr. (J. Jackson of Pa.,
, says: “ I keep my fattened poultry in a warm
r quiet room, one with glass windows, with shatters
. facing the South. I vary the food constantly, nev
[ er give the same twice successively. Small potatoes
boiled, boiled oats and Indian meal, a piece of
cooked meat suspended from the rafters always
. accessible, milk to drink, and walor fresh every
■ day, a heap of gravel, one of ashes, snd some
l charcoal, are my moans of making poultry ready
. for tbe market m two weeks from the time they
i are put up to fatten. If longer than this time is
i required there must besoine mistake in the man
[sgement. It should he recolleoted that the sooner
meat is put on a fattening animal, whether a steer
i or ohickeD, the more tender it is. I pleos before
my poultry eli the materials for fattening thom
. selves, tempt their appetites by giving them vari
i ety, and keep them quiet and comfortable, as I
have before alluded to. It is woll known that the
i digestive prooees is sooner and easier finished do
, ring a state of rest. A chicken should have noth
ing to worry it, no anxiety of mind. Could they
\ anticipate their latterendand the reasons for sup
plying them with the dainties of the tend, they
I would be held very uneasy, and I make it a point
I to keep all snoh information from them.”
I We learn from our esteemed Montgomery eor
l respondent that during the iste overflowofthe
L Alabama river, the Artesian well •‘Honuwmew
I discharged much more water per minute, than at
I aov previous time. While river wae at lte
highest stage, a gosgo showed that the well was
dteobmtfnTabout three time, tbe quantity of
wster it had uniformly given out up to Ibe naa
in the river, and but for the email oiroumferenoe
of the spout, it would probebly have discharged
more. This inorease of flow was first noted at the
time of tbe great rise in tbe river, and it appeared
to decrease with the falling of the water in the riv
er bed, until at this time, it ie venting only its usu
al quantity previous to tbe rise. The well is about
too yards from tbe river, aud its depth near 700
feet—so that its sonroe must he fully 600 feet
below the bed of the river. Tho pressure of the
wster of the river upon the earth must have been
ve*y great to affect to such an extent a stream of
water passing under its bed so many feet below it.

French Protest ants.—A precious disoovsry for
the history of the Beiormea Churches of France
has lately been made by M. Eugene Hagg of Paris,
in tie publio library of Geneva. It is the manu
script history of Frenoh Protestants in the various
places whither they fled for refuge, a work com
posed ebout a oentury ago by Pastor Antop’o
Court. As is well known, Court was one of the
men whose faith snd »al pnnoipslly contnb jted
to sustain Protestanlem in Fran<» during th'j re ign
of Louis XV., when its legal existenoe wes inter
dicted, and theobieftot the Keforme-j Churches
were either baniahed or dead. Cor.rt published in
1760, a history of the Camisards, bat he had no*
time to bring to light hia great work, L’Histoire da
Refuge. In 17 it, alter the death of the Court de
Gobelin, son of Antonio Court, the unedited
manuscript of this work was lost, and from that
time no trace of it oould be found. It is, there
fore, an unexpected oircumstanoe, that it haa at
length been discovered amongst the old papers
deposited in the library of Geneva. It will he cu
rious and interesting to compare L’Hlstoire da
Befoge by Court de Gobelin, with that published
by M. Weiss, who had not seen the former, and
to serve how esoh confirms the other up to the
time when that of M. Weiss necessarily leaves be
hind that of an historian who died in 1781 *—E*on~
gelical Christendom.
