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 Publications Heceived;— Peterson's Magazine for May, comes to hand early, and is found to be of usual interest.

We have received a communication in which the writer returns thanks to the peo . pie of Elberhon vicinity for favors re ceived. This coownunication belongs un der the head ot advertisements, and we would respectujly inform the writer that ,wo would be glsd.to insert the same for him at the fate of twenty cents per line.— We think it asking too much of us to insert the same gratuitously. The Lost by the Atlantic. Ihe great majority of the steerage passengers on the ill-fated steamer Atlantic, were German immigrants. According to latest re ports, the number of the lost is as follows: Cabin passengers, 14; crew, .60; steerage passengers, 472. Total, 546. For the Gazette.] 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. An accident occurred on the State Road last Wednesday, in the shape of a collision wherein an engineer was injured and a couple of locomotives smashed. The man agers ot the road are having a good deal of costly fun. For the Gazette.] 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 len care*!'* but we my, with Gretchcn, W kiaflfcgj thkis so vp%nr X'jr Oscar. 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. James M. Smith. 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.
