Wen, unless ho really think they nro fools and can see no Wtcr. , Wo would warn ■Uto people against the argument of Col. OaHVHeiil in his defence if •such a think was necessary^ -but his tricks re so transparent that it is only necessary to hear him to see through his motives.— When a man once proves faithless to his promises publicly made, and at a time avhon the denrest interests of the Scmfli wore a* stake, os Col. 0. has done during the Kansas issue, wo do not think the people, to whom he mode such promises, will ugain trust him ns their Representative. At least itdocs not look reasonable thattliey will. Col. tJartrell’s “Stewardship.” it is matter of pleasure and consolation to us toAuuw that we have a candidate in the Held for Congress in this IJistrict that makes his opponent, Col. Gartkell, know •and feel his responsibility to the people for his conduct. The fruitless and futilo efforts of Col. G. to defend his English vote is so ■pnoT that his friends can he hut disgusted and chngriucd when they hear him make the effort. Indeed it is insulting to the good sense of the' most unenlightened community in Georgia. Wo arc really surprised that Col. G. lms not the sagacity to know that he only augments the fear of his friends as to his ability to represent them in the Hulls of Congress. It is surprising tlwt he will per sist in defending his vote on the English Bill, when he ought to know that it was lor that veto that the Convention, which »o».umted him, refused to endorse his course. Is it possible that Co1..0abtiiei.i. expects the peo ple to endorse that vote of his on the first Monday in October next by returning him h Washington as their Representative ? lie ought to he better jwsteil than that. Mr. Gauthki.i. voted for the English itiil which denied Kansas admission into the Union unless she accepted a certain land arrangement attached to the ordiimiic which if she failed to do she was to remain out of the Union until she had a population of 1>JI,000 ; but, before three mouths OuL Gartueu. voted for the admission of Oregon, as a free State, with less than a Representa tive population. In this latter assertion we may be mistaken, though wo do not think we are. What do the people of the Fourth Congressional District think of such a re cord? Will they signify their approbation Western & Atlantic RaU-llon«!. We call attention of our readers, and all who feel an interest in the welfare of our State, to llie comnrtinicution over tin; signa ture of " Fuels are Stubborn Things.” It is written by a gentleman of ability and of the utmost veracity, and who never resort' to strategem to fortify himself in any position he may take. Wluit lie writes ho is ulwnys ready to substantiate it with the documents, .facts and figures. Thererclbro., the facts set forth in his commmiic.a4.ioa maybe relied mi as true, and will admit of no denial or con tradiction. We agree with him, and so ought every man who loves his Slate better than party, in the assertion that the State Iioad ought to lie made to yield twice as much as itdocs— admitting that (ho Road lias cost, twice an much ns it ought to havo cost. The Road, we believe, cost seven millions of dollars, and, therefore, is only paying about I per cent. If it should not have cost more than half that umoimt it will make 8 per cent. Eight per cent is a very small income when it is so common for Roads, with fewer ad vantages than that Road possesses, to make from 10 to 24 per cent, besides increasing the value of the Stock invented. Tim facts set forth by our correspon dent ought to elicit the attention off every truly honest thinker in the land. We regret exceedingly to witness the disposition of a portion of the people of Georgia to be con tent with the dim earnings of the State Road. They seem to think that, because the Gov ernor has paid a lilt/e into the Treasury, that he is making the Male Howl Pay ! People of Georgia such is not the fad. 1 You arc to day the worst duped people in the world as far as the State Road is concernrd. •"Your character for intelligence ought not to per mit you to lie so credulous and willing to swallow the demonstrations of the Demo cratic press with reference to tho monthly earning of the State Road with such avidity. We have been informed that hut little of the track on that Road lias been re-laid since Gov. lhiowx lias been in office, although From tbe Gold Mines! Some time during the mouth of Mar Mr. William D. Mgohr, q, journeyman print! engaged in this office, accompanied Messrs. Joscru L. Wars and Albert Haym left this place for tho gohl mines at Pik Peak. However, they did not go to Peak, blit to » place near* the Post called Aururia. Letters have been recei from the two latter gentlemen, end seem to be well pleased with tho count and their prospects. They state that arrived at tlio mines about the first of • They struck “good diggings” as soowc they arrived, and state that they, average about five dollars n 'day." one of tho letters : “ We would have been vert 1 much htii ged as far ns the Pike’s Peake, Gold Mil! were concerned ns there were none tl The mincB in tho Rocky Mountainswebo covered during tho week wo arrived Denver City * * * Thcro is plow gold hero, but it is hard to get at.

Tho whole burden of Col. Gathiri.i.’h speeches, in tho canvass, seems to lie made up of denunciations of the treacherous “six Southern Americans,” who, he says, defeated the Lccompton Constitution. When it is re membered that tin' gallant and consistent^) Colonel told the people, two years ago, that nothing good could he effected by electing Americans to Congress, as they would be powerless in consequence of the small num ber who would be in that body, his argu ments to prove that six Americans, against a majority of 21 Democrats, defeated the Lccomption Constitution will fall powerless to the ground, and demonstrate so plainly his transparent trick that it will ho percepti ble to the most common understanding. A man that can't sc** that such is the fact, is certainly unfit to represent tlui intelligence of this District in Congress. And yet our honorable Representative is really so stupid and devoid of any thing like perceptive powers as not to see it. At least such seems to lie the fact. Personally, we think Col. Gauthki.i. a very clever man ; and we are sorry that he does lint pursue a more dignified course than to he going around 1 ho District trying to gull tho people with his " cock and hull” story about "six Southern Americans" us a poor, pitiublo excuse for his course oil the Lecomp- ton issue iu Congress. Great heavens ! don't Col. (1ARTRKf.f. know that tho people of this District do not care a red herring about hi« denunciations of those “six Southern Ameri cans.” lie is the man of whom the poopl wish to know. We desire him to explain to us why he did not contend as patriotically for tho admission of Kansas as we lmd a right to expect him to do. These are tho ques tions wo want him to answer. The fact is, Col. Gaiitiiell is growing des perate. lie now feels that his promises made, two years ngo, have not been lullilled and that the people are displeased, awl lie is absolutely unable to render a satisfactory account of himself. HciseniphutieaUg (lodg ing the main questions. Col. G. think«(?) that the English Bill con cedes none of the lights of the Soutl Kansas, inasmuch us that territory is now kept open for emigration until its population is sufficient for one Representative, when it can again apply for admission. The Colonel is trying to enforce this idea upon the minds of his constituents os a palliation for his vote on the English Dill, whon lie knows or at least ought to know—that it only gives the Abolitionists a longer time to work in and make the territory fully free soil by large emigrations from tile free States. Now, don't our intelligent Representative know that such is tho fact? He is not an idiot certainly ; nor do we think lie ought to try to gull the people with any such quixotic that tiie present Administration found such in abimdaiieu of wood on the Road, as not to have required the purchase of any since its inauguration ; and, therefore, nun or two great expenses have been avoided which will have to lie met hereafter by Hie present or the next Administration. Tlmt lliirliiiciic! it will ho remembered that there was a irge committee appointed at our meeting, n the 2nd inst., who are requested to make rrangoments for a Mass Meeting, and if practicable a llarhaeue. It in hoped the gentlemen composing said committee are al work to carry out the purposes for which they were appointed. In order that all may now who wore appointed that committee 'e will again insert their names, as follows : La Grange District.—-!). 11. Turner, 1). W. Morgan and A. 11. Fannin.

Atlanta & West Point KuU-lton-ii Air. Jkssk McLendon has laid upon o3 table the “ Reports of the President Superintendent of the Atlanta & West l’ui^ Rail-Road Company to the Stockholders Convention, July 25, 1859,” by which, loan that “ the gross earnings of the R(*4 the past year have been 2302,000 And operating expenses, und ex penditures, for extra purposes, us stated by Superintendent,.. 104,"oj Net profits from Read operations, 197,1159* Add balance of interest,........ 3,5921 Net increase from all sources,.. ..200,951 From Ibis two dividends have been paid of $1 per share each, 75,048f Carried to Reserve Fund $125,303 We learn from the report of Superini dent that the expenses urt^MH^o per., lie s? !I thut the Road is in a m dition.

Wc pect to boat “ your man” in this District. Al ready your friends are becoming crest-fallen on account of the inability of Col. Gauthki.i, to defend, satisfactorily, his course in Congress. His vote for the English Bill is already a millstone around liis neck which is dragging him down. If we nro l ightly informed some of his truest and fastest friends nro deserting him in this his day of tribulation, und are arrayed against him alongside of the Oppo sition. It will require no power behind the throne, in our opinion, to tiring about tile much desired result of the defeat of y4ur dear “ Loosh.” lie has proved recreant to his promises made two years ago in reference to Kansas, and the honest und conscientious people of his party do not desire to trust lain again. So wc shall make up our mind to be repre sented by Col. Wme.iiT because lie clings (to true Southern Rights principles—not Ztojio- erunj.

XfiK ’Editor :—That sterling journal, tlio Savanntfh Republican, indulges In some re flections upon the faot, that for July $40,- 000 was paid into the State Treasury front the Western & Atlantia Rail-Road, making on advance of several thousand dollars upon the sums paid into the Treasury monthly, before Gov. Brown’s nomination. Ho also animadverted upon tlio fact that tho earn ings of July were announced some day’s be fore the month expired. Somo Editors iu Georgia, disposed to ridieule what they can not answer, havo thought proper to make themselves morry over the article ; but it is based upon sound common sonso. They have asked if the Editor of the Republican, whom they ooll sapient in derision, does not know that the passenger travel increases greatly in tho Sommer ? Tho reply is, yes, he and the 'public both know that this is the case ; and from the statistics of the Road common sense would draw a conclusion un favorable to the management of the Road. By propounding the question it is admitted tlmt tll^sums, monthly paid into tho Statp Treauiiry should follow those received by tho officers of Road. If so how can it be thought regular and business-like for' the lief oarnlngs of a month to bo ascertained before tho month expires. The Republican is right in noticing this absurdity. Again : Below I present to your readers a table of monthly earnings carefully prepared by me some time since, which every voter iii Georgia would do well to examine care fully and Iny aside for future reference. By reference to this table you will soc thut the earnings of the Rond vary with each month and that lio month is exactly like any other from the 1st of October, 1854, to Sept. 39, 1358, tliroHgk which periods the table runs. In tlio fiscal year, ending in Sept,, 1850, the earnings of July aro exceeded by those of October, November,' February, March and April, In the fiscal year ending in September, paying what you do into the well so far as it goes ; hi farther to approve yourself servant, Tho Road must double your figures. It would b?if to your administration to mate these insury. It is uu must go itf^iil public 'east yield tablo th- ly accounts balance to " J of a cent,” to payhito tlio Treasury, according to thS, amountiFJ'ou rccen’tfahiLput npon any arbi trary sum selected by yourself. Whit tho people wnnt is that the Road shall yield what it is cnpable of yielding and thfl,t4tf<at sum be promptly paid into tho Treasury and then safely kept until their representatives draw it out in accordance with tho Consti tution. Como, Mr. Browu ! Facts are Stubborn Tnixos. Fine Graces !—Mrs N. L. Herndon, of tlijf TgJtjsjijo earnings of July were exceeded ----- ‘ ‘’ by thoso\ of October, Dcoenibor, February, March and April. In the fiscal year of 1858 (Gov. Brown’s 1st year) tho earnings' of July were more than $8,000 loss than that of either of tho proceeding years and Was Icah than De cember, March; April aud May,- How happens it then that in 1850 nii in crease is ho suddenly announced in the slim that’s paid into tho State Treasury ? and that too before tho cud of tho month ! The Republican is not out of proper reckoning aflcr all. Hurrah for Mr. Sneed, its editor. this place, is certainly entitled to our thanks, and the same is hereby extended, for that basket of large and luscious grapes sent to us on Tuesday last. They aro certainly the finest wc have seen this year.

It ought to meet llie approbatin of our Democratic brethern of, flic press; and we havo no doubt that they would acknowledge its soundness had iOiociiwrW ten by a Democratic politician^^ThesclJc- mocrats aro very selfish men ; they are nor willing to acknowledge thut any good can emanate from tlioso who aro opposed to them politically. We give this week the comments of ope or two of our Opposition cutempmarics in reference to the letter ; and wo shall con tinue to do so as opportunity is offered.— Such a letter is worthy of all commendation, and will receive it at the hands of ull hoaor- ablo and true Southern men. Atlanta Intelliobncer.—This paper used to como to us daily ; but since the opening of the Congressional canvass it has curtail ed its visits, and wo only gut tho weekly issue, which is, owing to the fact that it is roeieved by us on the morning on which uur pnper is published—useless to us. Being in the same Congressional District, and the dis tance being so short between hero and Atlanta, it would scorn that, if prompted only by a sense of common courtesy, wo ought to receive the daily at least uutii af ter the election. Wc do not expect it as a right, but merely as a matter of courtesy which we, would certainly extend to an op ponent in tho same District, if we published a daily. Klectlou Returns, Ai.An.vsi.t Election.—In Alabama, Hon. A B. Moore, (Deni.) the present Governor of the State, lms been rc-elccted. The following Congressmen arc also elected ; First District—James A. Stallworth. Second District—James I,. Pugh. Third District—David Clopton. Fourth District—Sydenham Moore. Sixth District—W. R. W. Cobh. Seventh District—J. L. 51. Curry. These are all Democrats, and with tiie exception of Messrs. Pugh and Clopton, were members of the previous Congress. In the Fourth and Seventh Districts, there was no opposition to the Democratic candidates, wo believe. From the Fifth District wo have -no returns yet; but presume that Geo. T. Houston (Dem.) is re-elected. The Stato Legislature, is of course, large ly Democratic. Kentucky Election.—Kentucky returns establish the election of tho following Con gressmen : District 1. II. C. Burnett, domocrat. “ 2. S. O. Peyton, democrat. " 3. F. M. Bristow, opposition. " 5. J. Y. Brown, democrat “ (1. T. T. Garrard, opposition. “ 7. 11. Mallory, opposition. “ 8. IV. E. Simms, democrat. “ 9. L. T. Moore, opposition. “ 10. J. W. Stevenson, democrat. Five democrats, four opposition, and one, the fourth, doubtful. Tennessee Election.—Netoerland, Oppo sition candidate for Governor, has made large gains in Eastern and Middle Tennessee. The nett gain in forty counties reported is 4,000. Sufficient returns havo not been re ceived to detention the result. Tho Memphis Enquirer of Saturday, says : Wo have probably elected five metnbors of Congrtiss, and cut down Governor Harris’ majority in 1850 to an insignificient figure, if not defeated him entirely. Later nows render certain the election of Harris. North Caroi.ia Election.—In North Carol! na, W. N. II. Smith, opposition, is elected in the first district, defeating Henry M. Shaw, member of last Congress. Now by the examination of this table it will be seen that tho earnings of the Hoard in the fiscal year ending in 1858, were less than those of tho year 1857 by $100,807 (17. Why this great falling off whon every other fiscal year shows a steady advance ? In 1857, $200,557 47 were paid out for contracts of tho preceeding administration. In 1858 only $172,11(1 74. By Mr. Si-ullock’s Report the Road bed and superstructure were left in “ excellent condition,” und Dr. Lewis says tho supply of cross-ties was “ very large " and admits the supply of wood “ ample;” and they both agreo tlmt tho most important account for monies paid out, to-wit : “ The construction account was to bo wholly closed in 1858.” Now how conics it that such meager returns have been made, to tho State Treasury in 1859 ? This will not do ; tho returns of this Rond to the State Troasur should be doubled. It is admitted on all hands that this Road possesses great advantages of location, bo- ing " the great link by which a number of Roads nro connected with tho Mississippi Valley and the South Atlantic States." So that by authority of one of its Supcrinten- teudont’s these things “ will necessarily make it one of tho best paying roads in tho South.” This Road, thus located, is 138 miles lung. The groat Rail-Road’s in Geor gia directly or remotely connected with it aro : Tho Georgia Rail-Road, 171 miles long. Contral Rail-Road, 191 “ “ Macon aud Western Rail-Road, 102 miles long. South-Western and Muscogee, 145 miles long. These are its Georgia feeders and to them the Western & Atlantic is tho main trunk. Now it is capablo of demonstration that those Roads average more than 16 per cent, to the Stockholders. Can .it be expected then that because wo have heretofore got nothing in the Treasury the peoplo of Georgia will bo satisfied with what is not equivalent to more than 6 per cent, from this Road ? No never. Gov.
