Chattahdochy in DeKalb county. The dis
tance Wbuld probably be about from one hui
dred and ten to one hundred and thirty miles.
At this point or at some neighboring point—
the rohd might be made to diverge into thru
branches, the most easterly proceeding to mee.
the Rail Road from Augusta to Athens; th
next to meet the Monroe Rail Road from For.
syth to Macon.—the most westerly pursuing
its way down the Chatahoochy to Columbus.
The three branches would thus be respective
ly united to the three leading Commercia
towns in the interior of the State. Augusta Ma
con and Columbus, and to the navigation of
the several rivers on which they are respec
tively situated.
These branches like the common trunks
beyond the Chattahoochy, would pass over a
country so favorable as to require no iuc'.ined
plane or stationary power.
ft will at once be seen by an inspection of
the map of the State, that this system of Rail
"Roads would diffuse over all parts of the State
almost a precise equality of advantages. The
main trunk would be actually common in its
use, and equal in its utility to all parts of the
State; and the several different sections of the
State would certainly receive equal or nearly
equal benefits from their respective branches.
There is a space of five miles from Ross
ville, on the boundary between Georgia and
Tennessee and Ross Landing, on the bank of
the Tennessee river, which being within the
territory of Tennessee, cannot, of course, be
covered by a Rail Road constructed by Geor
gia. To supply this chasm, and make the line
complete to the Tennessee river, there can be
no difficulty in effecting a suitable arrangement
■with the Hiwassee Rail Road company char
tereiby the last Legislature of Tennessee for
the very purpose of carrying to any potnt that
may be selected on the Tennessee river any
Rail Road coming from Georgia to the Tennes
see hue. The stock under this charter was
taken last summer, the company is organised,
and now it is understood are waiting our move
ments and ready to co-operate with us.
Another striking recommendation of the
scheme of rail road connections with the Ten
nessee river, which the committee have sketch
ed, is the facility with which it may, at any
future day, be united by a branch with the
Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Raii
Road at Knoxville. A branch of only an hun
dred and twenty or thirty miles in length would
be necessary for this purpose, and the Legis
lature of Tennessee, in enacting the charter)
of the Cincinnati and Charleston rail road,'
reserved to itself the right of authorizing such ■
a branch.
In the event of this connexion with the Cin
cinnati and Charleston Road, we should have
two openings to the trade of the West—one
through the channel of the Tennessee river
into the Ohio and Mississippi—the other
through that of Cincinnati and Charleston road.
And should this connection with the Cincin
nati and Charleston road never take place,
we shall still have access to the trade of all
Erst Tennessee and a part of North Carolina
and Western Virginia, by means of the
navigation of the Tennessee river and its tri
butaries above Ross’ Landing.
The Road when completed, with the three
branches, leading to Augusta, Macon and Co
lumbus will be fed and sustained by the trans
portation of all Western supplies introduced
for the
and
olinr, aJH
ti V---5
eo :• ■
r •
by our own people The I
revenue of the road would be still further swell
ed by the conveying of all foreign goods obtain
ed from or through Georgia, for the Western
markets—to which must be likewise added,
the important item of the stream of passengers
that would be continually flowing along the
lines of the road.
The commercial towns of Georgia would
also become to a very large extent, the medium
through which the foreign trade of the west
would pass; and thus be enabled to take their
stand as competitors with New Orleans, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, for the gen
eral commerce of the west.
With these greatand numerous advantages
—almost equally diffused through every part
of the State-—profiting alike our agriculture
and our commerce—with the certainty too
that the amount ofTravel and transportation
would be sufficient to render the work a sate
investment of capital, the committee see every
ground for believing that when the enterprise
shall be thoroughly ca iv. s; d and und rstood,
it will unite the suffrages and be supported by
the general co-operatioa of the people of the
whole State.
The mode in which the public energies
would most advantagously be directed to the
accomplishment of the work has occupied lhe
anxious attention of the committee. And their
opinion on the best reflection they have been
able to bestow, is that weighty reasons concur
in making it expedient that the single trunk of
rail road from the Tennessee river to the Chat
tahoochy, which would be common jn its use
to all the three branches and equal in its bene
fit to all parts oflhe State, ought tQ be under
taken and constructed entirely by the State at
the public expense, and emphatically as a
State work. The branch may be advantageous
ly constructed by Joint Stock Companies, par
ticularly interested in the sections of the State
through which they would respectively pass,
aided by the State subscribing for a portion of
the Stock.
The committee in accordance with these
views submit the following resolutions.
Resolved, that it be recommended to the
Legislature to commence and construct a sys
tem of Rail Road improvement, by construct
ing a rail road from a point on the Tennessee
line, at or near Rossville, to some suitable point
at or near the Chatahoochy river running
through the Cherokee counties on the most
practicable route between said points hereafter
to be ascertained by legislative provisions.
2d. To authorize any companies that may
have charters and to create others where they
do not exist to branch from any noint of said
main trunk to the towns of Columbus, Forsyth,
Athens, and to such other places as the Legis
lature may designate, the State investing one
fourth of the capital necessary for each branch.
Extract of a letter received in Charleston from
Col. Blanding, dated
Columbia, Get. 24.
“The subscriptions in the Upper Country
have on the whole been as we had a right to
expect. The four Districts between the Wa
teree and Catawba and the Congaree and Broad
River have taken about 8650,000. There is
no certain accounts from the Districts between
the Broad and Saluda Rivers, but we may cal
culate on about 8400,000 and 100,000 East
of the VVateree, so that without taking into
account lhe Southern and Western parts of the
S ate, the up country will take about®!, 150,000
It is probable that the whole subscription in
this S ate will therefore, amount to $3,000,000
understanding that Charleston has taken
1,500,000. I now regard the Charter as safe,
for it is not to be doubted that all th : other
States will make up more than 1,000,000.
“I have learnt that considerable subscrip,
tions have been made in North Catalina.

xtliens, («a. Saturday, November 19, 1836.
The space occupied in our paper to day
by the Governor’s Message, and the Report
of the Rail Road Convention, must excuse us
to our readers for the absence of the usual
quantity of miscellany and news.—Of the lat
ter however, we have little that could possibly
interest, except from the elections which are
now going on throughout the Union for Pres
ident and Vice President. Georgia has gone
for White by a majority of 1000 to 2000 votes
—Maryland is lost by the Vauites, and Penn,
sylvania, up to the latest dates is in doubt—both
parties claiming the Victory. Our opinion,
‘■from the lights now before” us. is that she
has gone for Harrison by a smali majority.

FOR THE SOUTHERN WHIG.
Mr. Jones, — I send you the proceedings of
the Macon Rail Road Convention, and request
their publication in yjur paper. Permit me to
use this occasion to submit some facts to the
public to shew the urgent necessity of carry,
ing out the plan recommended by the Conven- j J
tion, or of commencing some other which will ;
! stop the rapid emigration of the people from '

for at least six more, mey are situated at the
termination of the B'ueridge which spreads I j
itself out into various rich vidlies, finely water- | i
ed, possessing pure air, and in every respect 1
well calculated to sustain a hardy white popu
lation. As must he perceived at a glance, this ;
desirable region is extremely remote from
market,and unless some facility of transporta. ;
tion is afforded them they must have their la
. hour subjected to a taxation, which, as I shall
presently shew can not be borne by any people,
and will in the end compel them to desert the
country.
t Contiguous to the Cherokee counties and
. lying Southeast of them, are fourteen other
> fl< urishiug popmous Counties labouring under
1 the same disadvantages as to the means oftrans
’ , portation, making in the whole twenty.five of
, i the flower of Georgia, containing a population
, at present, of 150,000 inhabitants, anddaily in
creasing. Looking on the Map it will be per-
! ceived that the eastern point of Cobb county is
nearly in the centre of the above mentioned
, Counties, and in the neighborhood of which, it
> is probable, the main trunk of the recommeu
r ded rail road will terminate, and the different
1 branches commence running east, west and
p south, to the head of navigation of the princi
pal rivers of the State, and thereby furnishing
! to all the Counties below the most ample fa-
■ cilities of transportation. I repeat, the coun
' ties lying in the north and northwestern parts
t of Georgia, and already enumerated, tire very
. peculiarly situated and in a most striking man-
■ ner require the aid of the State to place them
’ upon a footing with their sister Counties.—
Notwithstanding they possess so fine a climate
and soil, these are wholly useless to them if
. they are shut out from market. The State
owes it to them, by every consideration ofjus.
’ tice and sound policy to remove the impedi
ments imposed by nature to their prosperity by
, which they woul 1 become a thriving happy
people.
I have lately been informed by a respectable
gentleman, now a member of the Legislature
from the County of Cobb, that the price of
freight from Augustato that County is THREE
dollars per hundred. This county from
central position among the twenty-five CgJBH
ties named, will furni^rf^i^jtoßßßhNaSr^"
rion of the price
of that peonk

L subject burthens as
’ those imposed sugar and iron,
j The price of salt heretofore, (and I speak of
, prices as they formerly stood, believing they
) will be reduced) was fifty cents a bushel, the
* average price of sugar nine and iron five cents
’ a pound, in Augusta, lhe principal market of
the up country. Freight at THREE cents a
pound consequently imposes a tax on these ar
tides of the following amount, viz: on salt
$2 10 cts. a bushel, on sugar and iron three
cents a pound, which upon their original cost,
is 38 1-3 ner cent upon sugar. 60 on iron and
420 on salt. Let us illustrate lhe effects of this
oppressive burthen—For the population I have
assigned to these counties, I suppose they will
consume 150000 bushels of salt, a bushel to
the inhabitant including stock &c. (remarking
however, that if my estimate of quantities be
wrong, it will not vary the principle, as the
same result will be relatively shewn upon as
suming any other amount.) The cost of this
article will be $75,000, the freight $315,000.
Supposing the same people to consume one
million of pounds of sugar and iron each, there
will be on sugar $90,000 cost, 30,000 freight,
Iron 50.000 cost, freight 30,000,
The costand freight account will then stand
thus,
' Cost, Freight,
Salt, 75,000 315,000
Sugar, 90.000 30,000
Iron, 50,000 30,000
215,000 375,000
Expending over the actual cost, $160,000
The freight on tho same articles as establish
ed by law on a rail ro.td would be,
On Salt, 50,000
“ Sugar, 7,500
“ Iron, 7,500
Saving the enormous sum, in
freights, of 310,000
But this is not -ill, when you add to the above
prodigious expenditure nearly the same amount
fordownward freight, it will be seen at once
that no people, however industrious and eco
nomical, and perhaps none can be more so than
the people of the up country, can sustain them
selves under such a tax upon their labour.—
And the fact is every day apparent for our cit
izens are actually removing from this compar
atively new and fresh country to places where
they can have access to a cheap and ready
market by means of navigation. I f something
is not done for the Cherokee counties they
will be driven to seek a market in Alabama,
down the Coosa river or upon the rail roads
which that liberal and patriotic State is about
to construct to her markt t towns. Could anv !
thing be more reproachful to the State of Geor
gia ?
I beg to offer some further reflections at an*
other time.

This is to certify that during the present year
I have acted as agent for D. Cooper «Sc Brothers,

’ ' none. They have been well treated and fed,
■ I will add that I have had with them in addition
I to the above, thirteen of my own hands and as
, j regards their treatment, I am well satisfied.
