•• It is seldom we permit ourselves to occupy s splice

we consider it as our rislit, if no! our duty, to Hive a sim

this article, w as that of a yonne lady of oiiracipiaiiitance.

Various remedies were used, hill w itli very little effect or
benefit. The Coiiidi crew worse, with copious expecto
ration, and the sunken eye, and pale, hollow cheek, told
plainlv that pulmonary disease was (Inins its worst on

and nlthnmrh he w ould not admit to the yonns lady that
she really laid the t'oiisnmptioo. yet he would irive no

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA,
following lines arc said to hare Utu tak* u

I look in vain—lie does not come,
Dear, dear! what shaH 1 do?
I cannot listen as I ought,
Until he listens too!
Re might hare come as well as not,
What plagues these fellows are!
I’ll bet lie’s fas! asleep at hoiua,
Ur smoking a cigar.
YV recommend the folio wing to *ir misanthropic
readers:
I would not die in Spring tim,
When worrne’begin.to crewl;
When cabbage plants are shooting p,
And frosts be.v;in to-Vpir.ll:
*Tis then the girts arc full of charms,
And smile upon the men;
When ‘atnb and peas are ia their prime—
I would not p rish then,
I would not die In Summer,
When trees are filled with frtdt,
And every sportsman has a gun
Tlie little birds to shoot;
Tiieriris then wear their r.loomer itta\
And halfdiatract the men;
It Is the time to’eweat 11 out—
I would not perish then.
1 would not die in Autumn,
When new mown hay smells sweet.
And little pigs are rooting round
For something nice to eat;
T a then the huntsmans wild hvlloo
Isjicurd along the glen,
Aud oysters Vin to fatten lip —.
I would not perish then,
I would not die in Winter,
For one might freeze to doath,
When blustering Horens sweepsaroaud
And takes away one’s breath:
When sleigh bells jingle; horses snort,
And buckwheat cashes are tall:
In fact,’this is a right good word—
-1 would not die at all!
A FRAGMENT.
Plant not the cypress o'er mv grave
When I ant dead,
Rut let tlie fragrant sweet-brier ware
Above my lieaJ.
I could not sleep beneath the gloom
Os yew-tree shade;
Then let the sweetest wild flower bloom
Where I am laid.
And lot the pleasant sunlight fall
Upon my head;
And the fresh dews of evening,ail
Their pure drops shed.
And, wlien the stars look from the sky,
Come where I rest;
There kneel .and lift thine heart on high,
That 1 am blest.

THE SAVIOUR’S PRAYER.
BY TUB LATE HENRI ITT A J. MKEKS.
“ lie went up into a mountain apart to pray ;
and when the evening was eonte; ho was there
alone.’’—Matt, xiv, 23.
Not in tlie cloister’s dungeon wails,
Nor in the stately sane,
M here tlie tinged smile of sunset fail*
in rainbows through the pane ;
Rut where light streams and heaven’s pure eyes
Met on the niounta’n gray,
hose head was pillowed in the skies—
Tlie Saviour knelt to pray.
When m .riling flung theTght of hope
Far o’er the hurrying throng,
The incense of itis soul went up
With morning's smile and song ;
Rut when pale evening round his heart
lia.l drawn her dim array,
The Saviour sought a place apart—•
The Saviour knelt to pray.
The wings of angels gathered it
To waft tlie prayer to God ;
And angel’eyes to diamond lit
The dew-drops on tlie sod ;
And seraphs hushed their hymns to hear,
And silence wrapped the throne,
When angel-pinions shed that prayer—-
“ Father, thy will be done.”
No wonder that the earth is bright,
And pure the sky above,
Which opened in that brow of light,
Lived in that heart of love !
’Ti.s ail an altar, every spot
Is hallowed to thy knee—
'Whoe’er thou art, whate’er thy lot.
The Saviour prayed for thee !

FOR THE TIMES,
‘TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE MUS
COGEE RAILROAD COMPANY
Gentlemen : Tiie propriety of the city subscrib
ing its Muscogee Railroad stock for stock in the
Mobile and Girard Railroad is a mooted question,
and for my own part, on some conditions. 1 am in
favor of it to some extent.
I would agree to allow tlie Mobile and Girard
Railroad company to hypothecate Muscogee stock
as collateral security for the payment of Iron to
be laid on the track from Girard to Chunnemig
gee in this manuer, the Mobile and Girard to
purchase tlie Iron payable on its bonds, tlie Iron
to be deposited with tlie Muscogee Railroad com
pany to be delivered to the Mobile and Girard
Railroad in such quantities as it shall be required
to lay down from G irard to Clmnnenuggee.
Tiie stock of tiie Muscogee Railroad company
to the amount for which they shall agree to be
transferred to tlie party who shall negotiate tlie
Girard and Mobile’Ronds, lobe held by him as
collateral security. As soon as the Iron purchas
ed upon said collaterals is laid down, the Musco
gee Stock to become the property of the Mobile
and Girard Railroad, to be by them redeemed out
of tlie hands of the bond holders by payment of
the bonds. The Muscogee Railroad company
stockholders to he pa : d from their stock by the
transfer to them of an equal amount of Mobile and
Girard Railroad stock. This would leave the
Mobile and Girard road nothing to do but to raise
the means to build the superstructure and do
the grading.
It would guarantee to the Muscogee stockhold
ers that their stock shoul 1 not be wasted, but that
it should be appropriated to buying Iron to be laid
on the road to Clmnnenuggee, commencing at
the Columbus end ; and I would reserve to the
Muscogee stockholders the right to sell the Iron
o pa_v the Girard and Mobile Railroad bonds in
case they should fail to build a superstructure to
receive the Iron, so that they would be secure in
case of a failure, to build the Railroad ; in making
no other los3 than the difference between the
value of their Iron and itß original cost.
These are the conditions I would impose, and
the extent to which I would advocate the city suh
i seriplion, would be proportionate with the other
i stockholders, as for instance assuming the amount
:to be raised $150,000. The whole stock of Mus
j cogee Railroad at $(500,000. This would require
Ia subscription of 25 per cent, of the ‘whole stock,
j which would make the city proportion $37,500,
j and the proportion of the remaining stockholders
j who hold $450,000 would be $112,500.
If xh® schemejs to be attended with profit, there
j is no reason why the city’ more than any other
| stockholder, should subscribe for the whole, and
| derive all the advantage. If on the other hand it
j is to result in the loss of a portion of the stock eo
i invested, there is no reason why the city should
| bear the loss, except in common with the rest of
j the stockholders. lam entirely opposed to giv-
I iug the city all the benefits or saddling it with ai!
| the burdens of the experiment; there is no rea
son why the city should venture its whole stock
for a probable advantage to all the stockholders
in which the city can, under any event,, be only a
: prsjwrtio/ioilejbcnsficlary.

ConhelOwen Removed. —President Fillmore
has removed Mr. Owen, the American Consul at
Havana, whose criminal neglect of duty in the
case of the fifty Americans who were shot at Ha
vana has provoked such universal condemnation
from ail except the whig partisan press in the Uni
ted States.
The act of removal does not strike us favorably.
If the administration had not been parlicepst crimi
nis in the matter, it would have been bnt simple
justice. If ihe sentiments of Mr. Fillmore, issued
to the world in his proclamation, had not war
ranted the conduct of his agent, then this removal
would not have struck ns with the dubious ap
pearance it now does. But taking into considera
tion tile whole course of the administration—timid,
wavering, aud reprehensible as it was—;he pres
ent act appears like one of treachery. It resembles
the act of a~pr':n&ipal, who, having involved him
self in an unpopular transaction, endeavors to dear
himself by using his power to throw the odium
upon his subordinate accomplices.
Mr. Owen was guilty ofa serious misdemeanor,
luit he can plead in excuse of it the high authority
of the President’s proclamation. His fault, in our
eye, was that he did not disregard the plain in
junction of that proclamation, ami act as beeamo
an American Consul. But this, in the ere of the
administration, should have been no fault. He
acted out the spirit f the President's published
instructions. If the administration repents 1 thsm,
itself, and notits servants, should have been the
vietim. The honorable war would hava been for
Mr. Fillmore to resign, arid i*ce ice bvsk of re
moving Mr. Omen to hit successor. Then we
•ould have aneribed t’ him sincere regret far hi*
coarse he had tekea. Bet now he punishes tua
iisstrcmeat, while he himself is beyond reach.—

j THE RAILROAD FROM COLUMBUS TO
CHUNNENUGGEE,
It seema to be conceded that this real cannot
be built, without the aid of tbe city of Columbus ;
’ and there seems to beau almost universal desire,
that this aid be at once and olfectualiy afforded.
The manner of doing it is the point of discussion,
and even upon this point, it sec ins to be agreed,
that we shall go no further than to make sure,
tlie furnishing of the iron when th road shall be
! ready for it. It scents to as, that the views of our
correspondent “ A Stockholder, ” whoso com-
I muuiention appeared incur issue of Wednesday
morning, arc worthy of very favorable cor.s’dcra
tion. Rut if his proposed scheme cannot bo car
ried at once into effect, the city should, wo think,
j take the whole responsibility, and say, that if her
j bonds endorsed by the Muscogee Railroad, can
: command the iron, it shall be forthcoming as soon
as it may beTvanted; for our estimato is, that this
road would bo worth to us, annually, the cost of
tlie iron. In th's opinion, many wiser heads than
ours eoncur; and if it be a sound one, how anxious
ought we to be to avoid delay from any and every
cause ? It is usual, in thiacountry, to oeoupy three
or four years in building thirty or forty miles of
railroad; when it would cost no more, or bat
very little more, to do it In one year ; thus losing
the interest on tho largest portion of the value of
jlie work for two or three years, besides the ad
vantages and profits arising to the public from the
use of the road. The want of sufficient force is
the cause of this ; a want which our friends on the
other side of the river, can easily supply, if they
will but make the effort. If wo shall make ample
and satisfactory arrangements for furnishing the
iron, ns soon as it shall bo needed, whatever delay
may occur will be chargeable to them. Can they
not throw force enough upon the work lo com
plete tho grading and superstructure by tho first
of September ? If they can, the road can bo in
operation by tho first of November. Call it tlie
“ Union Rail Road,” and we think that all this
will be accomplished. Th’s is a cause in winch
southern rights men will he willing to put their
shoulders to the Un'on wheel. MU e-o for ac
tion, immediate action ; and the c’fv authorities
can adopt a plan definitely, in ten days as well as
in ten years ; thus g’ving our Alabama friends
assurances, upon wh'ch they may at once com
mence work.

tW We copy with great phwuro, from tlic
Columbus Sent nel, the very sensible and appro
priate remarks of the Editor upon tlie subject of a
Railroad from Columbus to West Point. We sub
join one or two remarks. Tfe may nek, what is
now tlie value of the land three miles deep and
extending on the eat side of tlie Chattahoochee,
from Co’nmbus to West Point ? The wiiole slip
contains about two hundred and fifty tracts, in
cluding fractmns, and about fifty thousand acres.
Some of this land is good, some is poor. Say
however, that the average vain? at this time with
out reference to water power, is five dollars per
I acre, making two hundred end fUv thousand dol
*r". The effect or a railroad from Coin mbits to
West Po:r,t would be to at least double this va us
This no one we think can doubt. Add to this the
value of the water power on trie completion of the
! road—a low estimate would be one million of
j dollars. Here we have one million two hundred
I and fifty thousand dollars of Tdueemcnt to build
the road—without noticing toe increased value of
lands lying east of the strip we have mentioned, or
the other advantages presented by the remarks of
the Sentinel.
The people of Harris and Troup have a deep
i interest in this subject, as well as the city ofCol
j umbiis; and we hope that some competent mem
ber of the Legislature will endeavor to get a char
ter during the present Union, of such character a
will be best adapted to the object in view.
Columbns and West Point Hail Road.
While Ihc mind of the community is occu
pied with the subject of its rail road interests,
! we have a few words to say on another route
! whose claims have not been canvassed.—
i Wo allude to a rail road connecting this cite,
with West Point, on the Chattahoochee above
ns. This route was surveyed by order
of ‘lie Legislature, in 1833. by Mr. Chief En
gineer Nicholls, and from his report now be
fore us, we arc able to gather pretty reliable *
data as to the distance and practicability of
the line, the cost of construction, and proba
ble revenue- By actual survey, the road be
tween the two points is forty-one miles, and
the country over which it passes,‘.not unfav
orable to the-construction or a railway.” As
to the difficulties to be encountered, the re
port says:
“The ground along the bank of the river
from West Point to Columbus, is not unfav
orable to the construction of a rail road.—
Through sow; short sections the banks are
rocky r.nd precipitous; but tiie road way may
be readily formed by tumbling the detached
masses of rocks, which line the shores,down
the cliff, *r,td a sufficient foundation!* made.
On the sideling ground, the excavation of half
the road section, cn its upper side, andthrow
ing it to the lower, will ford the road bed;
and by keeping the line higher or lower on
the hill side, the proper grade will everywhere
be attained, thereby incurring but a very mod
erate expense for excavation and embank
ment.”
Tbs estimated cost, in Mr. Nicholls’ report,
| NUMBER 44
Is 18,455. In the estimate, however. 1 the
calculation is made for iron of seventeen tons
to the mile, at a cost of .$97 a ton. Substi
tuting a rail of eighty tons to the mile, at sls
a ton, will increase this estimate to $268,446
which it will be seen is an average of $6,600
a utile, or less than the cost of any rail road
in the State.
Tile advantages to this eitv of such a road,
are at once .apparent. The line, according
to Mr. Nicholls” survey, runs the entire dis
taneeon the bank of the Chattahoochee.—
Among the first fruits of its construction will
be. that the finest water power iu the Union
will be brought into market, and rapidly ap
plied to manufacturing purposes. The river:
from West I’oint to this i itv, is almost a con
tinuous shoal the descent being so great that
all danger of overflows and backwater is en
tirely avoided. This immense water power
has long since attracted the attention of the
manufacturers, and has been permitted to lie
unappropriated, alone from its inaccessibility.
Once bring it into easy communication with
the markets of the country, and it will tic con
verted into motive power. We think it not
extravagant to say, that with such facilities
for transportation as this road would atfiord,
there would in a few years he more machin
ery in operation between Columbus and West
Point, than iu all the balance of the State to
gether, A heavy population would at once
settle all along the liue, and the market for
all that population would inevitably be Col
umbus. Tais would be one of the principal’
depots for the sale and transhipment of the
products of the manufactories, and our mer
chants would reap all the benefits resulting
from the trade of an iuiuicnce manufacturing
population.
This is but one of the advantages which
this road would secure to Columbus. It
would secure, us a very large proportion of
the cotton trade which has been diverted from
this place to the markets east of us. The
cottono: the northern part of Muscogee 1
Troup and Harris—a large share of which
now goes to Gridin—would be brought to
Columbus; because this would be Ihe short
est route to the nearest Atlantic port, and
because we could afford to sell the planters
their supplies on better terms than they could
he bought in markets east of them. We
cannot undertake to estimate the amount of
cotton bales that would be carried on the l o iff :
but any one who will consult the. map of the
counties mentioned, will find that this istlie
natural channel of communication between
those points and Savannah—which sooner or
later will become,as it ought to, the market
of all this section of country.
Again, it brings us into direct and speedy com
muuieation with Cherokee Georgia and Tennes
see. The trade which would thus be established
between those points, is one which our merchants
fully appreciate, and one, too, to which we have
heretofore looked in our rail road connections.—
The first idea of a rail road from Columbus, was to
connect with Atlanta over the very line of which
we now speak. A prominent idea with the pro
jectors of the Muscogee road, was to secure this
trade—and the pertinacity with which we held
so long to the Bartlesville route, for this very pur
pose, sufficiently attests the estimate we placed
upon the importance of that connection.
These are the prominent advantages,
briefly stated, which, it strikes us, are
to result to Columbus from the construc
tion of this road. So evident are they,
that we presume there will be no debate
about the value of such communication
to this city. Every body will agree
that the road is an important one; the
only question is, can it be built? We
believe it. can; for the benefits promised
by it are so great, and so immediate,
that, v/e think, the people will take
hold of it; and we know that if they will
do so in the proper spirit, the thing is
easily enough accomplished. We shall
in a subsequent article undertake to
show the practicability of this project,
and also the probable value of the stock
as an investment.

We are gratified to announce that wc
have the most cheering prospects of a
speedy, thorough and complete reor
ganization of the Democratic party in
our State. We ourselves are just in re
ceipt'of a letter from a distinguished
Democrat in North Alabama who has
been in favor of acquiescing in the late
Compromise. He himself is strongly
in favor of at once putting the old Dem
ocratic ship in complete trim, and
presses the confident opinion, after fre
quent conversations with many from
different parts of that section, that the
Democracy of North Alabama will res
pond to a man, and stand to their old
colors under the old party organization.
On the other hand, those in South Ala
bama who have, like ourselves, been
contending for resistance to the Com
promise, now that that question is set
tled, are falling into line without any
difficulty. The Watchtower, at Talla
dega, thus takes his position :
“ The Southern liights party, in a
hopeless minority, cannot change the
result. Submission’ to the sovereign
will of the State is an imperative neces
sity, and we must fall back into the
whig or democratic party, until some
aggression is committed of sufficient
magnitude to stir up the lowest depths
of Cuban submission.
“ The attachments of the members of
the party have been strong. No dis
turbing issue has interrupted the harmo
ny. Before new associations are funn
ed, which may widely estrange us,
and produce irreconcilable difference,
should we not endeavor to act in con
cert, and unite with that party which
will best reflect our opinions. That
party is obviously the Democratic.
“Protective Tariffs, Internal Improve
ments, Executive Power and Patronage,
no debt, Retrenchment of expenses,
are all existing questions, fearfully ag
gravated in importance in consequence
of the reorganized doctrine of the unli
mited power of the Federal Govern
ment. From tlie Demociatic party
alone, can we expect ‘ aid and corn
tort” on all tiiese questions. The whig
conventions in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Massachusetts, &c., have in
sisted on the whig doctrine of protective
tariffs, and if the whig party had the
power no one doubts the accomplish
ment of their designs. In a few days
after the passage of the “compromise”
bills, but two whigs in Congress voted
against Mr. Vinton’s motion to substi
tute specific for ad valorem duties, on;
some at the taxed articles.”
With but a few exceptions, this is the
language of the old Democratic press in
South Alabama generally. Our friends
of the Mobile Tribune, Spirit of the
South, Dallas Gazette, and one or two
others of trivial importance, still hold
out for a separate southern organiza
tion. We shall not quarrel with them
for it. They can keep up their organ
ization if they desire it; but that need
not prevent us, and all others of the old
Democratic press, who prefer it, from
organizing and rendering efficient the
Democratic party. Surely no one can
have any objection to this course, except
it be the Federal whig party-, who are
trying to prevent the reorganization of
the Democratic party. Now, as a plat
form upon which all old Democrats can !
meet, the proposition is to discard the
compromise question as a thing settled
by the sovereign will of the people
and not to be further discussed ; and to
contend only for old democratic princi
ples—such as were advocated previous
to the agitation of the compromise. It
is obvious that this is a proposition that
cannot he objected to except by the Un
ion Whigs, as it is their purpose, a>
we’ve just skid, to prevent, by all means
a reorganization ol'the Democratic par
ty. The reason of this is obvious : the
reorganization of the Democratic party
will be death to whiggery in Alabama.
The question arises then, are the Unioti
Democrats in the late contest, in favor
of an organization of the Democratic
party! We have no right t doubt it;
and hope that it will be speedily con*
snmmated.
How to Crr,E a Ci.j.d.— Of all other 1
means of curing colds fasting is the
most effectual. Let whoever has a cold
eat nothing whatever for two days, and
his cold will be gone* provided he is not
confined in bed, because bv taking no
carbon into the system bv food, but
consuming that Surplus which caused
his disease by breath, lie soon carries
off his disease by removing the cause.
This will be found more effectual it ha
adds copious water drinking to protract
ed fasting. By the time a person lids
fisted one day and night he will expe
rience a freedom from pain and a clear
ness of mind, iu delightful contrast with
that mental stupor and physical pain
caused by colds. And how infinitely
better is this method of breaking up
culds than medicines.

Mississippi Politics.
lion. Wm. McWiilie, Democratic member
of the last Congress, and Democratic noin’-
nce for re-election, has put forth an address
to his constituents, from which wc make the
following extract: ‘*
“The reference that I have above made, to
three of the compromise measures, has not
been for the purpose of discussing their me
rits, but simply to justify my own conduct
in relation to them in the past. 1 now dis
miss t hem from all further or future consider
ation, as I look upon the vote, taken upon
the election of Delegates to the Convention,
as having authoritatively, and forever, settled
this question. Mississippi has signified hor
acquiescence in those measures, and 1 yield
obedience to her behest. But I must be per
mitted to think that she has done so, upon
the principle, ‘that it is better to bear the
ills we have than fly to others that we know
not of:’ and that she has not done so u|Km the
ground that she approves them. Nor will
she be disposed to honor with her confidence
those who do approve them, or who have
been instrumental in forcing upon her the ne
cessity for such submission. There is a w idu
difference between submitting to that which
we may consider a political necessity, and hon
oring those who have brought such necessi
ty upon ns.
If the foregoing views be correct—that is,
that the late Convention election has settled
the slavery question, in connection with the
compromise measures, the mission of the
Union party has been accomplished, and it
(the Union party) ought to be dissolved.—
And it will be dissolved, unless it be held to
gether by a love for the loaves and fishes of
office—unless it be the wolf in sheep’s cloth
ing—the old whig party in disguise, under a
new name. For the compromise measures
being accepted, I defy human ingenuity to
suggest a practical question that is in issue
between the two parties, but the old issucscf
v, higgery and democracy. Now, if this be
true, it is time for democrats to begin ton dly
to their colors, and to endeavor to sustain
them in the November election. For, if you
lose the next I legislature, the whigs will be
able to elect a United States Senator for the’
next four years, in place of Gen. Foote, who
has two years yet to serve, and it will be t’ ’
duty of the Legislature to elect his successor.
And further; the Hon. Jeff. Davis having con
sented to become a candidate for Governor,
has resigned his seat in the Senate, and his
place will have to be tilled for the next six
years. Jf the whigs have a majority in the
Legislature, they will have possession of the
United States Senate, entire, for the next six
years, and in part, for eight years. In add!
tion to this, hereafter the State of Mississippi
will be entitled to five members of Congress;
consequently, it will be the duty of the eu
suing Legislature to lay out new Congres
sional Districts.
Now if von permit to tin; whig party a
majority in the Legislature, in making the
new Districts, notwithstanding the fact that
at the State elections, two years since, the
Democratic majority- was over ten thousand,
they can be so arranged, by the Legislature,
as to give the whig party-, at least three out
of five, of the Representatives in Congress.
Arc democrats prepared for this? The fact is”
if we lose the State elections lliis fall, i will
consider whiggery as having obtained the jins’
session of the State for an indefinite period
of time. You see from the above, that the
whigs showed their usual adroitness when
they, for the purpose of confusing and disor
ganizing the democratic party, took for their
candidate for Governor a democrat, (even
though he was rejected by his own party,)
and selected democrats to run in each dis
trict for Congress. This was tlie masked
battery-, from behind which the Democrat
ic party was to be assailed, divided and corv
quered. The whigs could well afford to
those who had once acted with the democra
tic party, a chance for a portion of tlie offices
this fall, provided it would secure to them
selves permanent, power and ascendancy:—
Gan democrats shut their eyes to the fact,
that tnis whole affair is a political trick? and
gotten up, not from a fear tor the safety of
the Union, but to destroy the democratic par
ty of Mississijipi? Who constitute the so
called Union party? Why it musters in its
ranks at least nineteen twentieths of the old
whim party. A large majority of it arc whigs,
and after the November elections, all who’
then act with it will be considered and treat
ed as such. Asa test of the political com
plexion and opinions of the so-called Union
party, I will venture to say that a very largo
majority of its members would, to-day, or at
any other time they may have a chance, vote
for Clay-, Webster, or Fillmore for the I’resi
liency. These three men are ardent friends
of the. Union party, and they are so, because
they know full well that the Union party is
but the whig party with anew name. Iho
same party- has already worn out other names.
They started out as Federalists, they then be
came National Republicans, then whig, and
now in this State, and Georgia, they have,
(as it would appear) worn out the time hon
ored name of whig, and have adopted that of
Union. This, too, will be rejected when it
lias accomplished its purpose. Is not this
thing too transparent to deceive democrats?
