The Rat®*©*©.—We aneetmeed -two
weeks ago tbattthe amount ot money neces
sary to give Eiberton railroad connection
with the Air-Line road was about made up.
■Since then events have transpired looking
to the construction of a branch road in an
•opposite direction, to which inducements
•are held out of such a character as to entitle
•the same to Serious consideration.
As wc intimated Some time ago, the great,
'est obstacle to a railroad to Eiberton is the
•diversity of sentiment among the people of
■the county as to which course that road shall
take. That division must be obliterated
and the people become united before any
thing cun be abcomplishca. The trade of
Elbert and adjoining couhties, all tendhig
in the same direction, is worth str.ving for,
and is too great to -bo lost by the road now
receiving its benefits. Hence any attempts
to build a road in another direction will al
ways be met by siren uoits opposition or ef
forts to divprt attention to some other point.
That we have; now propositions looking to the
construction T)f a branch rtrnd that will keep
the trade running in the o.d direction we be
lieve is entirely due to the promise of success
cf the road to the Air-Line, This is well
enough if the profferecj. assistance be made
in sincerity; hut wp must warn our too cred
ulous railroad friends that the promises of
corporations are not to be too implicitly re
lied upon. We do not mean to doubt the
veracity of railroad officials; but there is a
certain mode of promising that upon certain
contingencies certain results will follow,
which are to o apt to mislead the unwary, and
too frequently bod in—nothing. Nothing
but the most absolute pledges should be re
lied upon.
In relation to the inducements recently
held out by a wealthy corporation ( to render
material assistance in budding a .branch road
in a certain difectign, we urge those having
the matter ip charge to work it up to a final
issue with all practicable promptitude, in
o:der to pertain the, teal qbject of, the
company making the offer; so that if treach.
ery is intended it may be defeated, 01 if the
intention be honest .then we msy speedily
reap the f j 4 j.
From the character of the gentlemen in
teiested in getting a railroad to Elberton,
we are certain that the interests of the peo
ple of Elbert rre in safe hands, and we
know then* tp he suoh that if treaohery be
shown they will, immediately take such steps
as will most luliy and completely counter
act it. *•>*
We close this article by warning them to
be on the alert. TWfe people of Elbert look
to you, gentlemen, in this hour of need.
The responsibility isiof a serious character,
and the people will hold you to a rigid ac
countability. Guard well the trust com
mitted to youl

A SHORT SERMON,
. 't — wr~~ it wi " '
* Y A " c ' il W !?■
“I was in the Spiiit dn the dav,g apid
heard behind me a greajt voiejb as of a trumpet,
sa J' n o) fam Alphafqind Omega, the first# and
last, a:d whatthog seest write in a book,/and
send it unto the seven churches which are in
Asia ; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and un
to Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto
Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodi
cea.”—Rev. ll.
I suppose the above seven churches actu
ally existed in Asia when John wrote this
V/'
book, supposed to M A7D. 761 ‘ But as
the- mrarber seven in scripture-is often used
j as a figure to denote completeness or per
fection, and on that account we c.dl it a
perfect number, those seven churches
may symbolically represent all true gospel
churches throughout the earth. It seems
that these seven churches welc revealed to
John under the figure of seven golden can
dlesticks, aDd the angels or messengers
(supposed to be the pastors) of those
churches under the figure of seven stars, as
in 20fh verse : “The mystery of the seven
stars, which thoh sawest iu my right hand,
and the seven candlesticks. The seven
stars are the angels of the seven churches,
and the seven candlesticks which thou saw
est are the seven churches.”
We propose in the present discourse to
confide our remarks to the address to the
first named church; Chap. 11, veTse 1,
“Unto the angel of the church at Ephesus
wjyte : These things saith he that holdeth
the seven stars in his right'hand, and walk
eth in the midtt of the sevetr golden catidle
stfdks/’ Now the reader will please open
the New TestalaenU and read the whole of
the firet chaptpr ol Revelation and the sec
ond down to the 7th verse.
This church took its name from the cele
brated city of Ephesus, of lonica, Asia MD
nor, situated on the river Cayster, on the
side Of a hill, five milts from the sea, said
to be about 45 milfes Southeast of Smyrna.
Ephesus was renowned as a great mart of
country, and by heathen Writers on account
of its famous temple of Diana.
It seems that the apostle Paul visited this
city twice, and on his second visit to them
he remained there three yeafs, "preaching
tfie gospel with great success, and succeed
ed ip gathering numerous cliuTcfi, to
which he afterward wrote his Epistle,
wfyich forms an important part of his in
spired writings. It was written while he
was a prisoner'aV RoUle, and sent to them
by the hand of Tychicus, who had been one
of Paul’s companions while at Ephesus.—
(See Acts, xix., 10.) Jesus commended tlie
works and patience of the church at Ephe
.Sgs, .Nevertheless he says, “I have sonie-
what against thee because ..thou hast left
thy first love.” He calls upon them to re
member from toh&ice they had faHen, and
repent, and do the first works, or else-he
would oome quickly and remove their can
dlestick. out of his place unless they repent-
(See Rev., ii., 4,5.)
Even in regard to the city of Ephesus
itself, the contrast presented in its present
•state and its lormer magnificence ami splen
dor, presents a striking fulfillment of the
prpphecy. As the great emporium of Asia
Minor it was conspicuous. It had been
favored with the presence and labors of
Paul and other emioeut Christians. But
history now records the melancholy fact
that! tliiß once great city lies in ruins ; it
now consists iu a few heaps of stones, and
.spme miserable mud cottages, inhabited oc
casionally by Turks, without a single resi
dent Christian—a place wretched, solitary
nnl* tbrlorn. Paul’s grand Epistle to the
Ephesians is known and read, loved aud ad
mired, by Christians in every part of the
world, hut in Ephesus now there are boue
to read it.
The church there left her first love; did
not repent and do the first works; their
candlestick, the orgitbiWd Christian church,
has been removed out of his place. Church
light, gospel tidings, Bible instruction, the
preserving salt is all gone; aDd as the con
sequence this great renowned city ol Ephe
sus is no more. The lightnirg curse has
fallen upon it; its streets are desJate and
overgrown, herds of goats resort there to
take shelter from the heat of the noon-day
sun, while the noisy flight of crows is all
that breaks the solemn silence. The gor
geous pomp of heathen worshipers is no
longer to be witnessed; Christianity, nursed
here by ministers and apostles, uo longer
displays its benign power and imparts its
heavenly influence.
Bet churches beware of the sin of leaving
their first love. If they have been guilty
and departed from their first love, let them
heed the injunction, repent, and do thy first
works, lest the awful threat he executed,
“or else I will come quickly, and remove
the candlestick out Ofhis place, except thou
repent.”
Bet all who have left their first love en-,
deavor to pray in the spirit of the following
lines :
O, that I could repent,
From every idol part,
And to thy gracious eye present
An humble, contrite heart. >,
A heart with grief oppressed,
For having grieved my God ;
A troubled heart that cannot rest
Till sprinkled with His blood.
Jesns, on me bestow
The penitent desire ;
With true sincerity of woe
My aching heart .inspire.
With softening pity look,
And break my hardness down,
Strike with thy love’s resistless stroke
And break my heart of stone.

QUIET ATTENTIONS.
Thefe is at bottom a very subtle, but un
ackoovt lodged, between man
and woutap, vyhich has been scotched some
what by the progress of civilizatioii and:
chivalry,Jtut which ittuo deeply rooted not
to crop up here and there in all sorts of un
expected forms. There is very little true
trust and tenderpesa-existibg between them ‘
but there is an almost universal disbelief iu
the strength and endurance of each other’s
emotions w4refteter those ’©motions trench :
upon the sphere- of affection. Read any
man’s writings, from Chaucer or Shakt
spearfe downward, and you find running
through them a sq,off and sneei, scarcely
conscious, and therefore the more natural,
against the idea of real constancy and love
in woman. Listen to any woman’s talk,
and sooner or later she will let slip the mel
ancholy sentiment of the Psalmist, “All
men are liars,” or, at least, that milder ren
dering of the same passage, “A4l men fail
me.” There is as much antagonism im_
plied between “male and female” as
"Jew and Greek, bond and.free.” | ; :
There are two mistakes which women are
apt to make in the Outset of their busmens,
which tend to a vdrjf'pitiable
In a few cases she may remain ftp Gently un
oonseious ol the advance of any Ipvor, until,
after the lapse of mouths, or even years, she
is suddenly surprised and confounded by an
utterly unexpected offer. Charlotte Brouto,
who, as one would suppose, was all aflame
with'the passiou which pervades her writ
ings, was loved jpr years without suspecting
it, tmtil “like lightning,” she says, “it
flashed Upou me.” But this mistake is at
once less cornmou and less perilous thau its
opposite. What can surpass the absurdity,
the chagrin, the iporttfieutian, the heart
sickness and the heart-soreness of a woman
who has buoyed herself upon tire hope that
advances are being made to her, when in
truth the supposed suitor has no serious in
tentions at ail?
What are advances, and when are men
makihg them ? “A course of small, quiet
attentions,” says Sterne, “not so pointed as
to alarm, nor so vague ns to be misunder
stood With dow and then a look ol kindness
and little or nothing said upon it.” That is
a man’s answer to my question j the simplest
and ttiost straightforward I can find, after
a long and careful research. And what a
depth ol cunning and discretion there is in
it! Not too pointed, that the mao’s honor
may not be bound by them; and not too
vague, to leave the woman fancy-free. “A
look of kiudness i.ow and then, and little or
nothing said upon it” is delicious, mimfta
able, It gives him so much vantage, and
allows her so full a scope for tho active play
of the imagination. “Small, quiet atten
tions How small may they be, and bow
quiet ? In what way are we to make sure
that these delicate attentions are being paid
to us ?
Will men in general admit that squeezing
the hand is one of these small, quiet atten
tions which have great meaning in them ?
There is historical and royal’evidence in af
firmation of it in Dartmouth’s old scandal of
Edward Montagu losiug his post of Cham,
berlaln to Chftflcs the Second’s Catherine :
“Her majesty asked the king (having never
had an admirer before nor after) what peo
ple meant by squeezing the hand ? The
king, (no incompetent authority ) told her
‘love/ ‘Then,’ said she, ‘Mr. Montagu
loves me mightily,’ upon which he was
turned'out.” Yet what woman would dare
r sk her happiness, or her success in busi
ness, upon so trivial an advance as this i
Even that more significant attention of
keeping the hand in a warm, pleasant, lin
gering custody, which is quiet and pointed
enough, and so paid as to make- it difficult
to notice favorably, save by a drooping of
the eyelids and a more conscious flushing of
the cheeks ; even this, one knows, is no mere
to be relied upon than is a reed to be leant
upon in a tempest.
What about correspond3uce ? It is so
pleasant to write a woman ; such an escape
valve for the compressed sentiment, which
all a man’s dealings with the world cap not
entirely consume, that one ought not to clog
this delicate interchange of thought and feel
ing with the responsibility of being an ad
vance. It is no more than an element of
Platonic friendship. But it has been well
remarked, “Platonic love is Platonic non
sense ;” ’tis the fly buzzing about the blaze
till its wings are scorched. Age, old age,
and nothing else, must establish the barri
ers of “Platonic love.” Yet I wonder how
many letters to-night’s post will scatter up
and down through the country which shall
be just as vague and as pointed as Sterne
would have them to be ?
“No kissing!” said .Goethe’s first love,
the little milliner, Gretchen ; “no kissing !
that is 30 vulgar; but let us love, if we can!”
No doubt the girl, two years the senior, was
laughing at the impassioned boy; yet there
was a rare refinement io her distaste, Wi -
lund the German novelist, must have been
u sublime lover. He was perfectly convinced
that love is born with the first sigh, and ex
pires in a certain degree with, the first kiss.
Zimmermann a§ked the young lady to
whom he was attached, when it was that
Wieland saluted her for the first time?
“Wielaqd,” replied the amiable girl, “did
not kiss my hand for the first four years f
our acquaintance !” Of-the same tAusoen
dental order must have been that Puritan
divine who, after a betrothal of seven vearr,
asked a blessing and returned thanks over
the first kiss, and was married Bhortly after
ward, it is added. These were betrothed
kisses, it is true; but are there no experi
mental ones? Down in innocent places in
the country, when it is rather rural than
vulgar? The excitement, of being kissed
unexpectedly is great and rare, lor no man
can take a girl by surprise twice, the mem
ory of a first kiss lingering in her mind for
ever afterwar I. There is, let it be confess
ed fratkly, a certain kind of t||umphant
disquietude in having been kissed;,* grazing
or the skinj df the conscience, and a tiny
.sting left 1# it. which g+*£* Zest to the sto

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTENR CA
NAL '
Executive Department,
Atlanta, Georgia, April 7, 1873.
@Ai<aIiA:EIGT’.H!3L
The quostioe -of- -©heap transportation
claims tho attention of the country. The
agricultural West, owing to inadequate
means tor tnbving her immense stores of
provisions, and the heavy charges exacted
for freight thereon, finds herself in great
measure without a market for her “Supply
products. These remain Worthless and
wastiLg on her hands because, when shipped
to the East or South, much the largest por
tion of the value paid by the consumer is
expended on their transportation.
From the same cause, in the Eastern and
Northern States, the high prioe demanded
for food increases the cost of labor and, con
sequently, the cost of production. This
forces the manufacturing intqrqst uf that
section, to deim.nd of Congress legislative
protection, to enable it to compete success
fully with foreign products in our home
Nor is its effect upon the Southern States
less deplorable. Our greut interest—that
of cotton —suffers proportionately with the
rest, and from the same cause. Furnishing
as tho .South does, the only reliable article
of export, she finds her wealth annually di
minishing.
The reason for this state of things is very
well known, und it has for years pa&tclaiun
ed the attention of the thinking men of
the country. That attention has become
intensified, as the necessity increases, and
the pressure becomes more .seriously felt by
the glasses. At • the present time the in
creased means ol transportation is fast be
coming the one, all absorbing question of (lie
country, and the one that will be most earn
estly pressed uprn the attention of Congress.
Indeed, so?great is the neoessity felt by those
sections of the West, remote irotu the sea
board, that it has been graVely proposed
that Congress shall take eoutrol of the en
tire railroad system ol the country, and cu
deavor by legislative Sut to regulate the
matter. Whether this would result ingooa
or iu an increase of the evil—whether con
gressional management would lessen tho
cost of operating these roads, so as to meet'
public expectation are graye questions which
I will not discuss here, I only refer to them
to show that a gieat, real necessity so prey
ing that it does hot scruple to resort lor re
lief to means so extraordinary.
That water affords the cheapest means ol
transportation is well known and acknowl
edged. The difficulty has been to find a
feasible line for a caual across the mountain
range w>hich divides the water of the Missis
sippi .Valley and the Atlantic. This long
sought lor route has been found, as recent
surveys fully demonstrate, in the proposed
Atlantic and Great Western Canal, and it
passes through the State ot Georgia. This
work will furnish the cheap transportation
so much ueeded by the whole country —will
open a home market for our varied products,
more attractive thau that which the West
now finds abroad, and, in my judgment,
wifi cure the trouble cemplaiucd of, without
resorting to tbe extraordinary expedient
above referred to.
Uuitiog, as it will do, two great systems
of uavigaiion, its importance to the whole
country is so evident that it requires no dis
cussion. That it will greatly increase the
production of cotton is firmly believed, that
it will furnish a home market of vast value
to the food-producing section requires no de
monstration ; and that it will give us, of the
.South, what we most need —direct trade
with foreign lands —immigration to fill and
build up our waste places, aod an increase
of capitul for the development of our miner
al resources, is susceptible ot the clearest
proof. The route has been surveyed and
found eminently feasible. The verdict ot
the country pronounces it a work of nation
al importance and necessity, and what now
remains to be done, is to devise the best
and surest means for its speedy accomplish
ment.
To this end, as the Executive of Georgia,
l deem it my duty to take the initiative. I
have invited the Governors and other prom
inent citizens of many of the States, to meet
in Atlanta on the 2Qth of May next, that we
may consult upon this important matter. I
need y6ur aid and counsel also, and 1 there
fore cordially invite the Mayor of each city
in the State to be present, and each incorpo
rated town to send such delegates as may
best represent its interests, to advise and
counsel with us on that occh’sibn.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF TIJE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.
Supreme Court: Hanover vs. Woodruff.
Certificate of division from the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
In thiscase, Hanover sued Woodruff on a
promisory note, given for a consideration in
war bonds, issued by the Arkansas secession
Convention. On the trial the court di
vided in opinion on the following ques
tions, which wore certified to this court for
answer:
X. Was the consideration of the note
void on the ground of pu die policy, so that
no action could be sustained ?
2. Was the consideration of the note ille
gal, under the principles of public law, the
Constitution of the United States, and the
laws of Congress, and the proclamal ion of
1 the President referring to the rebellion
which existed aud wa“pen<iirtg when the
note was made ?
wr" WBW swr* I
*4rese questions nrerboth answered in the’
affirmative, the court holding that the' issu-jj
in" of the bolids was aHuct of open hostility!
to (ike United Statesßieclaring that, al-j.
thdagh wmfused
medium in the sense of any negotiable
money investment, founded qri the public
faith in its. paymonf as> such a medium,
they were still not a forced currency which
tyio people of that section were ob)iyed,Jp
use.
This case Ts distinguishable from the case
of Thofningteh m (Smith’, befdre decided
ly this court, wheu the question was up m
the validity of Confederate money as a con
sideration, and it was sustained on the
ground tfiat it was the only medium of ex
change of a people under the absolute con
trol of the Coufceherute government, and was
hence a forced currency.
The last English files contains tbe partic
ulars of the trial at Durhaiu of Mary Ann
Cotton, the West Auckland poisoner, who,
id order to obtain an insurance of from
tweftty-five to fifty dollars on the life of each
victim, poisoned during the last twelve
years-three husbands, her mother, all her
children and those of her husbands, num
bering in all thirty persons. The woman
Cotto.appears in court with hor two months
old ohild at her breast, the only oue ot her
offspring that has been spared the fate ol
the otbirs. This child was born in Durham
prison since the incarceration of its mother
a few months ago. and the lather is un
known; A description of Mrs. Cotton’s
personal appearance represents her as hav*
ing a- handsome prepossessing lace and fine
black eyes. There is no doubt of her guilt,
aod of her certain conviction.
Interesting Decision. —ln tbe Su
preme Court of the Uunited States on
Monday last, in i ease from Wisconsin, the
court gave it as their opinion that railroads
are public highways, no matter whether
they ore built and operated by the ’State or
•by private corporations j and the building
of railroads is therefore a matter ol public
conoom, to aid which it is just as coustitu
tionali to levy taxes as for the building of a
wagon road or any other public work, and
the. collection ot these taxes cannot he re
sisted by authority ct at tide. Y. of amend
