COLiriODS, GA, FRIDAY, JA. 31, 1851.
We were compelled our last
Tri-Weekly issue, forthe wlnwf ink; our
supply being detained a pi month be
yond the time it should arrived ; and
our cotemporaries, happenfr; also to be
short and unable to Aeip i
We make all the amends a our power
by giving in this number tl matter of two
numbers.
The Young Men of ti South. —We
acknowledge with pleas e, a pamphlet
containing the constitutio if the Southern
I Rights Association of the rginiaUniver
| sity, with an address to th Young of
the South. It is written th ability and
in the highest and firmest ne of devotion
to the whole rights of e south. The
rising generation, thank 3aven, are be
ing educated, in a spirit ‘ freedom fioin
that superstitious reverec :for the Union,
which induces so many en of the pres
ent day to sacrifice to ] esent ease, and
the spell of a name, fu! re safety, vital
rights and lasting honor.
We commend this e.xa pie to the young
men in all the academie and colleges of
I the South. The preset generation is
shoving to the shoulder: if the next, the
dangers aud respspisibilies ot this great
question. Let tiro yout of the country
prepare to meet them.
THE RICHMOND (VAiEHGUIRER.
The number of this ament pape of the
, . > r r Cfi n
21st inst. contains two uding a^.-tes —
one entitled “T/ie Lunate of the Southern
Press,” and the other, rAbolition in Dis
guise.” These articles jrnish a contrast,
| so remarkable, in thetj sentiments and
; tone, topics of criticisnopd objects of at
tack ; that the reader hjurprised to find
| them, side by side, intlrsame newspaper
! organ, the emanations iJthe samelabara
tory of thought and lir n. We notice
them lor the exhibiting the
eminently treacherous jeire of the ground
on which a newspapeyj/ands, that pro
fessing (and in this ca-aP, doubtless feel
ing) Democratic State7'ghts principles,
is yet forced to the effort of
reconciling with thosfffinciples, an hon
est support of the uni<V° n^e basis of the
so-called compromises t f the Congressional
session of ISSO.
The first article is a lashing and pas
sionate attack on the •Southern Press,”
! and the editor include#! the sweep of his
angry pen, all who ag>c with the “Press”
that the legislation o last winter was a
foul wrong to the sUth, a fatal wound
to the constitution, an a desecration of
the principles of equity and justice, for
which there can bo rs pardon, short of a
restitution to the soth of her outraged
rights. These, tho -ich. Enquirer, char
acterizes, as “the srallest, most ultra and
ridiculous band olfactionists that have
ever, by their inimperate conduct, dis
: traded the southiti States.” We have
too much respect tr ourself and for the
noble party to whrd we belong, to retort
; this violent and itemperate language*—
| We content ours f with predicting that!
i the Enquirer wil find that the band of
1 true southern opponents of the cheats and
juggles of the preent Congress, is not so
small as he imagines. And in regard to
| their ultraism. \he are precisely what the
-Siftors would be, j they carriciTmTo*effect
the principles thd.'preach and teach. We
i cite their other ancle, to which we have
j referred, to provjix, This is a commen
tary on a letter, I ritten for the New York
Evening Post, l ; some pitiful northern
scoundrel, who enjoyed the hospi
tality of some oifour Rice Planters on the
coast of Georgif, and cotton Planters in

about what he. taw. Oil thi a theme, oil r
j Richmond cf’mporary lets himsell out
to the full leii-h of his southern tether.—
Nay, he|com< down, not alone on the let
ter-writer, onthenwfA with a degree of
: ferocity thafrs startling when we remem
jberhow reifint was his denunciation of
southern “ Itras.” Pray, has the “En
quirer” takn out a patent to monopolize
all the wra* and indignation against north
| ern wronf and injustice* If the “Press,”
i the “Tinfs,” or some poor wight of a S.
i"CarolinaArother, utter a complaint above
theirbrqfth; the Enquirer is,in a pucker
t of solicitude, and rushes, pen in
1 hand, t/the rescue of the emperilled Un
! ion ! b/t, he, can abuse the north, invoke
j retalia/on, non-intercourse, and taxation
oil ysJkee products, aud all the while be
; a mt/t catholic unionist. What most
i move the Enquirer’s wiath in this case, is
1 that/art of the letter of this abolition emis
sary which treats of the “poor whites” of
tht/south. We extract it. But, first, we
wcsild ask the Richmond Editor, if tiieeo
“Yankee wiles” are neics to him 1 Did he
ait know of them, when he consented to
;*• acquiesce ” in those fearful concessions to
| our unscrupulous enemies, madly, basely,
cowardly, yielded by the “omnibus” coiii
i promises 1 But to the extract:
Tn Poon Wiiitks. —It occurred to us that the
I interests • f these classes were essentially dillrrent;
! and I determined to get the sentiments of some
of the poor noti-slaveholder, as soon as I could, and
as luck would have it, l tell in with one yesterday.
’ He was a fin-, hale, and frank looking fellow, and
I exceedingly intelligent, considerinc his east lat
once told him I was originally from the uoith, and
i then remarked that it seemed to me, the pom white
men had no chance in a s’ave stale. His reply was
j manly, though sorrowful. aW ’ as I recollect,
I as follows:
I -No sir, we have not half a chance. The negro
i f ar better offthan we. We are considered bv
{ the rich far below the negro, and they have always
i the preference if there is anything to do—the nr.
groes,” he added, “steal fromthrir masters and to
sh-’lter themselves lay it to some poor wlme man.”
The negro show* hi* cunning in this; he i* good
witness against his own color, and not against the
white, by the laws of this State; and therefore, the
charge must drop, whereas, if he made it against
his own color, the probability i*. they would recmr.i
nate until half the negroes on the plantation would
get a flogging, including the one who made the
charge. I replied, then you would be better off if
there were no degrees, “Better off ‘ he repeated,
Lj w j s h ib-re was not a negro this side of Africa.
Do vou think,” he continued,’*l do not know that
I could get more for my labor, had I not the negro
to compete with, knd that, (I should be more of a
: nant” I then asked him if there were many df
his way thinking! he replied, ‘‘Yes and they”
(meaning the slave owners) “writ find it out be lore
Uc” and then said: “the success of the In,on
ticket here , is the result of the poor mans vote.
I Conscientiously believe that the negro s condi
tion in this State, is far better than be poor wh.te
man’s, who depends upon his hands for a hung;
and U .star less pM*. Though the white man
Can lire here, with half the labor he can at the
north, yet his contact with the negro, by being com-
y Tfaljiy *-
polled to work by hi* aid?, am’ connaquently k
clininir him to herd with him, reduces his mo|l
standing far below the lowest of your white*. I
firmly believe that the negroes here really enjs
life. As the northern man is often exposediii
•aunts and jeer* in South Carolina. I would ad* j
him to pass directly on to Savannah, if he is gt|.
to the south or west, where he will find a far m*
liberal state ofleeling and less extortion. C,
The Italics are not ours. The elemet
of the success of the “ Union ticket i
Georgia” seems to have surprised th
Editor. But it is now news to us, here i
Georgia.
We warned the Planters of Geor
gia who voted for submission last Novetro
ber, of this, among tho other dangers fron
“Yankee wiles” to which they were ex
posed. But large numbers of them could
see nothing “glorious” but the “Union”
and could not imagine any danger tha
was three inches removed from theirnoses.
particularly while cotton was worth l!
cents a ponnd.
But the Richmond Enquirer denouncei
this as “anew scheme of incendiarism set on
“foot, the. object and end of which, is servile
“ tear, to beheaded by non slaveholding whites
“in the South !” If tee were to say that
much, we should be pointed at as an
“alarmist.” But the Enquirer can say it,
and the following too :
No one can misundratand the hearing, the ob
ject and intent of the whole letter. Alter reading
this letter, if the people of Virginia are not prepar
ed *1 once to commence a proper system of diser m
inating taxation, on Northern import* and manu
facture*, they should not complain, if non-slave
holder* should he seduced into the argument* oft
Northern fanatics ! If the lai dholder and slave*,
holder shall cl>n? *° Yankee enterprises, and will
not aid our shipping inti-rcgt* and import ingmer-’
chant*, by giving a preference to forego goods,
which havo been directly imported into
and to domestic good* manufactured in Virginia-?
(and these enterprises arg always carried on by ine'i
not deeply interested in lands or negroes, heeaifi.-
their main capital must he vasted in their trade ,)
—why, then, what right have fiiey to expect tl.jt
the person* engaged in these ijilores-ts, (as we / as 1
all other non-slaveholders, so strongly tjppealcdho,)
will not join in a few years with the Yat kr fs to
overthrow slavery together* This is the prif } e ob
ject of all abolition movement*. Arid yet t/e first
measure has not been taken by our Legislature to .
unite theiuterest-,indissolubly,ano thcslavhnhlerand :
non-slaveholder—hut on the contrary,no sooner was I
the uhject ol taxing northern productions publish- |
erl through the metropolition press,than the Valley i
Whig, and some other Whig presses, took side,
with the abolition presses, that suchjineasurcs were
unconstitutional, and, with the decision of the Su
preme Co.irt. affirming its constitutionality, staring
them in the face! The Whig presses, which
have not taken sides against the tax, have
generally been mum ! While many of them have j
been, asd now are advocating an increase of the
tariff by Congress, for no other purpose than to
make the North stronger and the South weaker,
and the committee raised in so much haste on the
sulject has done nothing. Now we call upon the
slaveholder and non-slaveholder, the. farmer and
the mechanic, tho shoemaker and the blacksmith,
the house-builder ami the ship-builder, the machin
ist and the manufacturer, the importer and the re
tailer to unite in a measure mutual y beneficial to
all; and let the diiveller in politics,l(the common
enetnv to all.) tread his fatal path alone. Let
him follow his argument and take up his e.bode pro
perly in the ranks of those whose interests hr. best
subserves.
Every reader of the Enquirer must be
painfully impressed with the unhappy
state of “betweenity” in which it daily la
bors. It is not the juste milieu of
tion and wisdom ; nor the medio tutissimus
of prudence; butit is rather a state of com
pulsory suspension between counteracting
forces and principles at war with each oth
er ; l>=r magnetizing by their rapid play
the unhappy object who stands within ihe
circuit of their current. The centritugal
force is the-strong native southern instincts
of the Editors, strengthened by a politfeal
education in the school of Southern, |ate
R ights YJAgintaUemot j olntri
petal force, is the unhappy consaugujnity
to the Washington Union, and tjre evil
hour that lured the Enquirer intb A sup
port of tlie compromise measures, j
The Enquirer abuses us for an “ultra.”
We pity it, as the poor beast between two
stacks of hay; or rather, as one trying to
both God and Mammon—the god
of principle, and the mammon of expedi
ency. Until it decides fully between the
two, it will continue to struggle “ like a
strong man in a morass,” and fritter away
its power for good or tor evil, regardless
of the amount of talent it brings to bear on
the suicidal game. In short, the Rich
mond Enquirer, must continue to be a pair
of Kilkeny cats within itself, swallowing
each other and “leaving not a (tail) be
‘hind.” No man or paper need prate about
Southern Rights unless he is prepared to
look boldly in the face the only remedy for
their All nego
tiations between men and nations, that do
not look to the ultima ratio, are as idle as
the wind, and not worth the paper on
which they ate conducted. White Hal
lers may row one way and look another,
let no man pretend to be in favor of
defending the south from her enemies, and
yet make war those who look to a with
drawal from the family of States as a last
resort to find peace and escape dishonor
and wrong.
THE WAY TO PRESERVE THE UNION THE
WASHINGTON CITY PLEDGE.
The Telegraph announced to us a few
days ago that some 60 members of'Con
gress had signed a sort of total abstinence
pledge, to hold all candidates, unclean,
and not to be “touched,tasted or handled”
who were not in favor ofthe omnibus com
promise and the union, and against all
slavery agitations. The pledge has not
yet come to hand to gratify a rational cu
riosity to see so curious a document. We
find the names of Clay, Foote, Cobb,
Toombs and Stephens iuentioned as sign
ers The letter writers give very- differ
ent accounts of it. The “ fast-man” of
the Baltimore Clipper has th if about it;
“The new Union movement, of which
I spoke in cue of my recent letters, is
progressing. The paper or address has
already some sixty signers to it in the Sen
ate and the House, among whom are Mr
Clay, Mr Speaker Cobb, Gen Foote, Mr
Toombs, Mr A H Stephens, &c. The
signers pledge themselves to support no
man for President or Vice President, who
is not openly for the preservation of the
Union. Aud lurther, they pledge them
selves to vote for no man for any office
whatever, unless he be an avowed Union
man. Mr Cass and Mr Douglass are said
to have refused to sign. So you see, that
this movement, of which the first inkling
appeared in these letters, is no child’s
play. It utterly destroys all past Presi
dential calculations.”
The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post (Democratic) gives it the fol
lowing very cavalier notice:
“The proposed Union movement here
in Washington is a sheer humbug. It was
never contemplated by the leaders of par
ties, but merely pushed by the ultra fac
tions, as a means of breaking down such
titer as Cass, Foote, Ac., by'making it ap-
“THISAItos OF THK STATS s’ ASD THBI SOVEREIGNTY OF THK STATES.*
COLU||pUS, GEORGIA, RXjYr] TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1851.
Sear that there had been an improper un
erstanding between the leading whtgs and
democrats, for the purpose of breaking
down the democratic party. Gen Cass
was the first man to put his foot on it, and
he has crushed the scheme so that it will
never again be heard , of. If the Union
men want to come to Cass, there he stands
as a rock on the platform of the Union,
but they rfiust come to him without a bar
_gain—they must come to him from patrio
tic motives to save the constitution and
the Union. The northwestern democracy
is as firm as a rock, and will not yield an
inch. Osceola.
So Gen Cass would’nt go into it. He
“put his foot on it” i Some of these wire
workers will put their foot in it, before
they are done. From present appear
ances, this is a Fillmore movement. His
administration has straddled the “ com
promise” as its hobby, for the lack of a
better; and th e nag of union is harnessed
in the; lead to help along the movement.
Meanwhile where does the compromise find
hearty approval and support* Is it in the
North, which has the best reasons to be
pleased with it ! Alas! it conta.ns the Fu
gitive Bill; and the Vermont, Massachu
setts and New York Legislatures will an
swer how the north likes it. Hear the de
fiance of Horace Greeley to the Fill
morines. He is speaking of the New York
Legislature:
“We beg the Silver Grays (the Fillmore
party) once for all, to pass their resolves
approving and promising to sustain the
Fugitive Slave Law if they can. Do stop
Sour whining and call for the Yeas and
ays. The only obstacle to the passage of
•your resolves is the want of affirmative
votes. You can get a majority ofthe Lo
co-Focos to vote for “echoing the Presi-
I Gent’s Message,” if you like that soli
phrase better than blunt ‘approving the
Fugitive Slave Law ;’ and if you only had
a majority of the whigs in the same humor,
( you need not write any more wheedling
and whining Editorials to achieve your
l end. So just trot out your Silver Gray po
ny through his paces. We
say he has the spring-halt,
Sind can’t thlfke headway. It such is the
act, no amount of horse-chanting will cure
tis distempers. But just understand that
here is nothing “terrible” in all the
you are likely to get out of the i
j iresent Legislature. N >budy is likely to
j >e terrified unless it is your Members at
he aspect of their constituents.
Is it in the south that it finds strength !
The Virginia Legislature has just voted
lown resolutions giving it only a quasi
j upport. Even the Georgia submission
•ooventiou did little more than tolerate it;
Ihile with the Southern Rights Party, it is
‘{tested, as at once, the omnibus and the
1 idge of southern degradation. The Clay
<>mpromiseis not a solid platform that
< m support a party before before the
tiuntry ; because Injustice is at the but- 1
t m ofit. The compromise was a clum
° effort to heal an incurable, moral and
” litical distemper. It has stifled for the
1 le being, the fierce and angry passions
rnsed in the struggle of antagonist prin
() ties, but it has not touched the germ of
te ise principles. It has settled nothing,
Gcept that the constitution - can De violat
es and the compact of equality disturbed
• oja vain attempt to pacify an insatiable
Fiiaticisin. Clay and Webster, and Cass
at 1 the great men who made this compro
m 3, knout that they have settled nothing
pe nanently; that the effect ofthe i
oil heyihav A thrown on the troubled wa- j
le. is ifLits'nature, fleeting. The ditter- j
eii es beWeen the north and south are j
®*l/. can be no compromise of a ‘
qt’Atjon of abolition and slavery. It is a j
victory or death ; a war, in Its j
na ire, of extermination. The south must
g* u \ its slaves, or abolition is forever j
and inappeasable. Why shut
ou ! eyes to this truth ! Why not probe
thc’;vil to the bottom, and determine at
on r > the appropriate remedy * Truly, real
dainers are not postponed by turning our
hePls so thatwe cannot see them; andall
exjj nence shows they are best and safest
my-.face to face. And this is our grand ob- j
jeajbii to the Union submission party. It j
promises palliatives and quack nostrums, |
white the sharp knife of pi in cipie alone i
catijure. The north must be forced to ad- j
herjo the last letter of the constitution, j
and.jang the abolitionists, if necessary |
or t,p Union must fall to pieces in a few j
yea ; or else, the south must give up its j
slav ias the price of Union. This is I
tru'i and it were well that, the south mi- j
ders od and acted unitedly on it. Then
titer-would be some^hopeofsaving the un
ion sit was, when our fathers made it—a !
* I
salvi,lon that can never be worked out by :
cowl dly submissions to assaults on the j
cons\ ution ; or by the jackleg tiukerings \
of ca promisers, to heal the wounds and j
breaig es thus made on it.
Wq :annot forbear quoting a brief and j
preg; nt paragraph or two, from an arti
cle ill he January number of the Dento
craiit leview—an article we have before
had ca;asion to commend to our readers.
It is man, speaking to tne j
not tho says:
“TPltrong have ever tyrannized over
the ‘Uker, to the extent that aggres
sion A met by sufferance. Aggres
sion, Jeiefore, can only be arrested
by reliance. Nor is the remedy specu
lative (erely. When Missouri, in 1820,
was rtlfed admission into the Union, by
reasorjatthe constitution framed by her
inhabt ats permitted domestic slavery, j
nothin f preveiited the consummation of |
the agjession but unmistakable demon- j
stratit f that it would effect a dissolution j
ofthe infederacy.’ So the resistance, in
1832, .JSouth Carolina, to a protective j
tariff, 3s mainly effecnal in the subse

Let not; ie truly Union men, therefore,
look with isapprobation at the agitation
which is v rvading the south; for it is but
the tempt- which is to purify the political
atmosphq’ ; and by means which God
has ordaq and for the purposes of longevity.
Nations at 1 1 society of every grade are
kept peact ible and just by only the anta
gonisms which nature arouses between
the aggrieved and the aggressor. Suffer
ance, on the contrary, but facilitates fur
ther aggression ; nnd unrestricted submis
sion in the intercourse of mankind with
each other, would be attended with uni
versal ravage, rapine, and outrage.
# * * * * * *
“For the aggrieved to resist aggression
is, therefore, the most patriotic of duties ;
and the fault of the south consists in not
having resisted effectually in 1820, instead
ofcompromisingbythe circumscription of
slavery in Missouri. If an injured party
is subdued by force, he must submit; but
he who submits without physical necessity
is an accessory to his own dishonor ; and
in our confederacy hebecomesan accom
plice in the overthrow ofthe Union,”
THE SAID PLEDGE.
To , gratify public curiosity (says the
Washington Union) in regard to the char
acter of a paper which it is understood is
being signed by many members of Con
gress we have procured a copy for pub
licati n in our paper of to-day :
“T! e undersigned members of the 31st
Cong ess of the U States--believing that a
renewal of sectional controversy upon the
subject of slavery would be both danger
ous ttj the Union and destructive of its ob
jects, and seeing no mode by which such
controversy can be avoided, except by a
strict adherence to the settlement there
ofefl’ected by the compromise acts passed
at the last session of Congress— do hereby
declare, their intention to maintain the said
settlement inviolate, and to resist all at
temptsto repeal or alter the acts aforesaid,
unless by the general consent of the
friends of the measures, and to remedy
such evils (if any) as time and experience
may develope.
“And for the purpose of making this re
solution effective, thoy further declare that
they will not support for the office of Pre
sident, or of Vice President, or of Senator,
or of representative in Congress, or as
member of a State legislature, any man,
of whatever party, who is not known to be
opposed to the disturbance ot the settle
ment aforesaid, and to the renewal, in any
form, of agitation upon the subject of
slavery.”
This pledging concern goes in Wash
ington by the name of the “Mutual Insu
rance Company.” A letter writer states
j that Senators Doiens and Houston have
“thought twice,” and taken their names
off the roll ot the company.
The correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury says:
“Ti e Mutual Insurance Association,”
as the new league between cer
tain Congress, to keep out. of
officFederal, all who will not
stand by the “Com
promisepßmd to appropriate all the said
offices to themselves, came up in the Sen
ate yesterday. Mr Clay and Mr Foote
were of course head members of the “As
sociation.” But only nine Democrats have
I taken stock in the concern, and we may
i guess that the pressing motive that drew
Mr Foote and JVIr Cobb into it, was the ex
treme need they felt of being “insured”
by somebody. They are in a predicament
—groping in the most bewildering dark
ness, with both hands stretched out to feel
for the dangers ahead, which they fear all
the more from not being able to tell when
or in what precise shape they will start up.
Hence they are trying to get up all sorts
of new platforms. The Whigs are swal
lowing them ; they feel it; they are trying,
but in vain, to escape their jaws. Their
position, and their struggles to mend it,
are becoming equally ridiculous.”
The New Missouri Senator.? —The
Southern Press says: “We learn from
good authority, that Mr Geyer, the newly
elected Senator from Missouri, is in his
own State regarded as a thorough South
ern man, ready and able to maintain the
interests of his section of the Confedera
cy.”

-11 grade ot‘2 miles in length, rising
e I ate of 42 24-1,00 feet to the mile,
at j l le us upon the dividing ridge, with a
place i eet j u depth. From this sutn-
°(3jjr Euchee (as the creek is called
I”' 1 l 'the confluence of Euchee and Lit
i pfhee) the grade descends for one mile
half at the same inclination by
whi<h it ascended. The Big Euchee will
be ciossed by a Bridge thirty feet high
aud ibout 200 in length. In selecting the
crosdng point reference was had to such
a poution on the right bank of the creek
as will affiird an rligilde route to the high
grounds dividing the waters of Euchee and
Hatpteecliuhbee. This desideratum is
wel supplied by the valley of Cow Pen
cretk, which empties into Big Euchee
nea* the point at which our Survey cross
ed. Pursuing the valley of Cow Pen
crek for four utiles with an easy ascent
of res than twenty leet to the mile, we
reibh a frk of the creek; which is also the
poi.it where must separate two routes, the
reix'Ctive claims o/ which must be duly
c'tfsidMed.
Toe Northern or Ridge route continues
up the valley of the North Prong of Cow
Pen to its head, there with heavy cutting
rises upon the Ridge and follows it through
a j’erv tortuous course ilong the route of
tlif* Federal road, passing through Sand
Firt, Euchee Yillage, and Fort Bain
bjidge. After passing the last named
piint, the Ridge undergoes a great depres
s'oo aud its hitherto abrupt and forbidding
character becomes flat arid rolling; here,
therefore, we are enabled to make a de
fection to the South, in order to reach—
rjirer good ground—a point in Coxvikee
Flats favorable to the ascent of Chuniiy
tiuggee Ridge. At this point on C6wi
liee the two routes comes together, which,
as above described, separated in Cm# Ben
valley. 11
The Lower or Cowtkee Route to be con
trasted with that just described, pursues a
dtore Southern Prong of Cow Pen creek
to its head, and theti, cutting through the
Ridge, comes upon the waters of Silver
Run, crosses that and several other branch,
fes of Tlaichee-chubbee, then the main
creek itsejf, and pursuing a very direct
| NUMBER 7
route it crosses the North and Middle
Forks of the Cowikee near their head and
several branches, reaching the point in
Cowikee Flats where the two routes con
verge in a distance of4l 1-10 miles from
Girard. The Ridges dividing these wa
ter courses are low and of easy transit, ad
mitting of a remarkably direct line, with
out difficult grading.
In arriving at a choice between t!-.e two
routes, let us have recourse to the follow
ing estimate of the probable cost pf con
struction upon each, computed between
their points of separation.

.Route will save the Company the sum of

it will afford a much straigliter line,
l I the amount of ascent and descent,
► lid save five miles and 400 feet in dis
tance. On the other hand, while the
Ridge Route recommends itself only by its
high and dry location, it will involve a
heavy outlay to bring it to a practicable
grade, unit will be disfigured by continued
curvings.
It is iioi forgotten, that the preference
thus given to the Lower Route will do
great violence, to the wishes of those enter
prising gentlemen who, living upon the
Ridge, have embarked so zealously in our
great undertaking; hut -a sense ol justice
to them as Stockholders, and to the mass
of our subscribers elsewhere, woo have no
local interest to be affected by .this selec
tion, requires that a candid comparison
Lshould be instituted, and its legitimate re
fairly deduced.*
-* Pursuing our line westwardly, the next
point of interest is to discover a practica
ble ascent ofChunnymiggee Ridge. By
itis name is styled the remarkable eleva
tion, at the Northern base ot which rise
tile waters of C'alebee, Cnhahatchee and
Line creeks, while Pea River flows from
ti southerly and the head waters of Cone
cuh river (pronounci and Co-na-kaj occupy
its summit and flow upon it in a cuurs*

Cnunnynuggee summit in a run of lour
miles at our maximtnn inclination of 42
24—100 feet to the mile. In accomplish
ing this ascent some very heavy grading
will be required, which perhaps may he
reduced by a careful review ot the line.
Alter attainingthe summit, we immedi
ately come lipon the head waters of Cone

Second Division.
Up to the commencement of this Divis
ion, the controlling'cbnside.atiou which in
fluenced the course of?.ur Survey, was the
selection of the cheapest route"for a rail
Lroad from Girared to Mobile Pay. East
■tardly of this point, it is believed that
Bfh of the routes exainiued will possess
(Bdniages measurably equal qs to the cotn-
business which is to be
so essential q tributary to the <s|>e-rity
ofthe. road. It a location upon the ktogl
would secure to us heavy and valuable
freight from the Euchecs, on the other
hand it would surrender, what the lower
route must ever command, the productions
of the fertile country watered by the Cmv
ikee and Hatcheecliubbee. Thus far,
there is no material variation between the
line of cheapest construction, and the line
of valuable business, and it wou.d be for
tunate for the Company if this favorable
conjunction c6uld continue throughout Du
Route. Sych, however, is not the ca.-e.
If the topography, of the country only
were to govern that location, it is believed
that a line following the course of Conecuh
river, and continuing in its valley t> some
point near the Florida line, w? uld best an
swer tho purposes of economical construc
tion. The straight course of this stream,
in a direction well ‘’alculated for our des
tination, its generally sluggish current aud
the broad hummocks which border on It,
all conjoin to distinguish it as an eligible
route in a topographical point ot view.
But commercially considered it is barren
ol attraction, The genera! sterility of tin
river lands, and the insalubrious character
of the adjacent country, must prevent its
settlement and successful cultivation. No
reasonable hope could'therefore be enter
tained of a remunerating business from
such a quarter, and i;t pursuing th s roire,
the Company mqst forfeit in’ adv nice, tin
prospect of a great carrying nade, w.dcii
constitutes a leading item in tin* account of
anticipated revenues.
Governed by this consit ,e ti ,it was
deemed advisable to leave the Conecuh
and at some sacrifice of cost, to occupy
with the rail road, a position tnre c *nv. ni
ent to the fertile and highly cultivated
lands which are destined to supply it with
a vaiua,b |e freight and passenger business..
By taking a direction nearly West, at the
line of.Macon and Bike counties, ‘.lie *
road will traverse a good up-land fanning
region in F.ke, Montgomery and Lmyitd.-s
Counties, and, at the same tone, will be
within easy reach of the vast body of rich
prairie lands which, for more than a HM)
miles in length, stretch out from the foot ol
the great dividing and extend nor
therly to the Tallapoosa and Alabama rt
Vers. South of the line also there are
productive lands upon Palsaliga, l igeon
and Persimmon creeks and tltdtr branches,
capable of sustaining a defise population,
but not as yet much settled ou< account of
their seciuded situatren.
In emerging from the valley of Conecuh
with a western-course, the line necessari
ly soon finds itself either on or near the
ridge, though it is occasionally necessary
to depart from it on account of the uneveti-
