State Investments in ilailroarts.
We commend to the consideration of our Legis
lators the following extract from the Journal <>J
Commerce, in relation to the above subject. V< hile
the result of one experiment in Georgia is resorted
to in order to justify a departure from a principle
admitted to be correct, it may not be deemed im
pertinent, or useless, to show the uniformity Mtl.
which similar violations of right and policy have
on tailed disaster upon offending, commonwealths,
A comprehensive induction vindicates the wisdom
of the “let alone” system, and proves our own
satisfactory experience in opposition thereto, in a
solitary instance, to be an exceptional ease. In
deed, it would be strange were it otherwise. If
the observance and the violation of correct princi
ple, of fundamental truth, were equally subject to
the capricef fortune and alike followed by sne
eess or defeat, wo should have reason to doubt the
stability, or even existence, of the moral govern
ment of the universe. In the great chain ot eter
nal order there must be some connection between
error and failure, between truth and triumph.—
Jvay, every department of life, individual or
national, furnishes abundant demonstration of the
fact. But to the extract:
“The experience of most of the States which
have made investments in Railroads, either in the
way of the direct construction of such w orks, or
in that of loaning State credit, in whatever form,
has generally proved disastrous. At the North,
we know’ of hut few instances, where any return
of the money has been received. In New
York, we believe, ucarly every dollar of money
pledged in any form to Railway corporations, has
been utterly lost, not only to tiie State, bat gen
e*iilly to the Companies also, for as a general prin
ciple, the lines which have required State aid in
their construction, have been those which did not
command the confidence of capitalists, and prov-
ed a bad investment to all concerned. The same
ill luck has generally attended the loans furnished
|> v municipal corporations, very tew ot v. hicli
have realized, t>r arc likely to realize, any return
for the money of credit thus furnished to lines ter
minating in or passing through their several lo
calities.
The famous loan to the Erie Rond, by which the
Btato lost outright three millions of dollars, will
not soon be forgotten by the authorities or the
taxpayers of New York. Smaller sums, at nearly
the same period, went tit other corporations, and
till with the same, or nearly the same result. YV e
lire not quite siii’C that (lie State dhlnot realize an
inconsiderable sum from the sale of the Hudson
uml.Berkshire Road, but the general fact is ns wc
ha ve stated.
The State of Massachusetts had better luck with
ils loan to the Western (Albany and Boston)
Railroad corporation, tlmt line having proved a
successful and profitable one. IV bother the same
success will attend its advances to the Troy and
Greenfield corporation, for the purpose of tunnell
ing the iloosac mountain, is extremely doubtful.
Our only surprise is. that the work has proceeded
sufficiently, to entitle tho Company to receive from
the*State, its advances, according to the condi
tions of the law.
Michigan, at an early day, went into the Rail
road business, as did also several other YVestcrn
States, without any great degree of advantage,
beyond the accumulation of an experience, which
has served to warn future legislators in those
States, against further meddling with a business,
which is clearly better left to private enterprise.
Indeed there is cumulative evidence against the
policy of meddling with railway building, by
State authorities or municipal corporations, in
any form whatever. _
Later from Havana.
Arrival of the Steamship Mack Warrior. —-The
U. S. M. steam ship Black Warrior, Capt. Smith,
from New York, via. Havana, has arrived at New
Orleans.
The Black Warrior left New York on the 27th
ult., and Havana at 9A. AI. on the 3d inst. She
landed at Havana 196 passengers, the mails and
freight.’ Among the passengers to Havana was
Alaj. Helm, the recently appointed U. S. Consul-
General at that place.
She brings on freight upwards of SBOO,OOO in
specie from N. Y. and Havana.
From Havana we learn that the barque A’ onus,
formerly under the Mexican flag, with 580 negroes
on board, was captured off the Aloro by a Spanish
war steamer.

All sorts of improvements arc being advocated
with great energy, and not a few prosecuted with
zeal. Numerous’railroad projects, means of im
proving sugar cultivation and manufacture, pro
posals for road improvements, Ac., are among
them : and at the same time the whole island ap
pears to be enjoying health and prosperity, and
anticipating a very gay season.
T’uc proposition to prosecute the cultivation of

Sir Isaac \cwton*s Taste for Farming.
When Newton bad reached his fifteenth year,
ho was called from the school at Grantham to take
charge of his mother’s farm. He was thus fre
quently sent to Grantham market, says Timhs, to
dispose of grain and other agricultural produce,
which however, he generally left to* an old farm
servant who accompanied him, and Newton made
his way to the garret of tlie house in which he
had lived, to amuse himself with a parcel of old
books left there : and afterwards he would en
trench himself on the wayside between Wools
thorpe ami Grantham, devouring some favorite
author till his companion’s return from market.
And when his mother sent him into the fields to
watch the sheep and cattle : he would perch him
self under a tree with a book in his hand, or shape
models with his knife, or watch the nio\ ements
of an undershot water-wheel. One ot the earliest
Scientific experiments which Newton made was in
J 658, on the day of the great storm, when Crom
well died, and when he himself had just entered
Jus sixteenth year. Newton's mother was now
convinced that her sou was not destined to be a
; and this, with his uncle finding him un
der a hedge, occupied in the solution of a mathe
matical problem, led to his being again sent to
Grantham School, and thou to Trinity College,
Cambridge, whieh thence became the real birth
place of Newton’s genius.
Georgia legislature.
THE HOUSE.
The usual preliminaries having been gone
through with, leave of absence wa.s granted to
several members for a few days on special busi- |
ness, including the Hon. Speaker, Mr. I rider- ;
wood.
Yesterday, the House took most of the morn
ing in re-considering apd correcting w hat they j
had done the day before, and this mommg the t
regular order was suspended and several bills ota j
private nature were taken up and variously dis- .
posed of; we admire the zeal of the gentleman !
from Jackson who gave the House a lucid expla
nation of the circumstances connected wish one of
these bills, which we understand has been up in
every Legislature for the last twenty years, but
was again lost, and Mr. Miutz gave notice that
lie should move, in the morniftg, a reconsidera
tion of the same. Like the ‘ didapper ’ this bill will
come up every now and then it seems, and though
it breathes not itself at least subserves this end to
the reporters.
A bill to lay out anew county from Fayette
and Henry to be called Butler, was read. Hon.
Speaker stated that there was a memorial ac
companying this bill, and wished to know it an}
gentleman wished it read. .
Mr. Bigham thought the right to memorialize
inalienable, and as the memorial in relation to this
bill was on the table, he wished it read, which was
done. The memorial petitioned tlie Legislature
to defer any action upon this bill until a petition
could be transmitted, <tc. A petition was read
from the citizens most interested, pray iug the pas-
sage of the bill. t
Mr. Irwin said that although not being eitner
for or against the formation of this new county,
and though a large number of citizens of both
these two counties wished anew one to be formed,
still the memorial having set forth that the bill
was HttjalrJj gotten up, lie was in favor ot unlay
ing the action of.the House.
Mr. Sprayberry of Catoosa, said that this was
no new question sprung upon the Legislature, the
bill had been up at the last session, and he thought
the members as fully prepared to vote upon the
question now as they would be twenty years hence.
He would explain the history of this bill: 11 was
made a test question at the last election, in layette
county. The old county candidates hau been de
feated", Ac., and that a large majority of the citi
zens of this county wished anew one to be form
ed.
Mr. Bigham asked Mr. Sprayberry a question.
Mr. Sprayberry replied by asking another.
Mr.Biglmm did not rise to be catechised.
Mr. Walker of Henry, was opposed to all new
counties, except*upon certain conditions.
A number of gentlemen rose and made remarks,
some in favor of laying the bill on the table for the
present, some in favor of its immediate passage,
and others were opposed to new counties on general
principles, though not opposed to or In fav or ot ;
tins one in particular. The lion. Speaker ruled
the whole debate as having been out of order from
its commencement, and the discussion of the
question was postponed until flic 25th inst.
A Resolution requesting the Governor to fur
nish certain information to the House, respecting
the Western and Atlantic Railroad was read, and
the yeas and nays were taken on its adoption, and
being counted, resulted as follows : ayes 5-1, nays
72.
In anticipation of being entertained with the
eloquence of several members ot the House, upon
the question of State Aid, as regards the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad Company, which hiyl
been made the special order ol the day, and the
weather being extremely favorable for a display,
the ladies turned out en masse, and graced the
Halls of Legislation with their presence, but after
the, (to them) uninteresting, “stale flat, and un
profitable” proceedings of the early part of the
morning, when the call of the counties was com
menced, a shade of disappointment might have
been observed, “to pass o’er their fair faces,” and
they showed their disapprobation of the dry pro
ceedings which were to ensue, by an adjournment
to the Senate Chamber where we hope they may
be well entertained and repaid for their “pains,”
Bills d-c., Introduced.
Mr. McDonald of Berrien, to lay out anew
count}’ from the counties of Lowndes, Berrien and
Clinch.
Mr. Schley of Burke, to lay out a now county

tion provides that it shall not be lawful for any
owner or employer of a slave or free person of color,
to give’ them, either a verbal or written permission
to sell any rice or cotton to any person or persons
whomsoever, and any one purchasing these articles
from any slave or free person of color, shall be
liable to fine or imprisonment or both. The im
portance of this section will suggest itself to the
merchants of our several commercial cities.
To amend the various acts in relation to the
City Court of Savannah.

Douglas in Coffee county.
Air. Guy of Colquitt: To incorporate the town
of Aloultrie in Colquitt county.
The Senate in a body came into the House and
proceeded to the election of a Director on the part
of the State, for the Bank of the State of Georgia
which resulted in the election of Air. Solomon Co
hen, who received 141 votes.
After the election the House proceeded with the
introduction of new matter.
Air. Davis of Alarion: For the relief of Execu
tors, Administrators, Ac.
Air. Webb of Milton: To limit tlie liens of
judgments.
Air. Bigham of Troup: To add an additional
section to the Constitution —to operate on Bank
Charters hereafter to be granted, and all Banks
whose charters may hereafter be changed. No
person or persons who shall purchase the charter
from original corporators, shall have power to
conduct banking operations under the charter.—
Upon suspension of specie payments, all Mils in
circulation shall bear interest from that date. All
executions’ issued against banks may be levied
on the private property of Stockholders, until
claims of creditors are paid. Stockholders shall
have the right to enforce contribution. No act
of the corporation shall so dissolve it as to pre
vent the collection of claims by law. No act of
the Legislature shall authorize any bank to issue
bills while the same is under suspension. The
Legislature shall have the right to alter, modify
or repeal the charter. Circulation shall at no time

and 19th Sections of the Ist Article of the Consti

Also: To compel Sheriffs to advertise, Ac.
Also: To exempt practising physicians from Ju

The special order of the .day, to wit, to lend the
aid of the State to to the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad, was then taken up.
The first section Was read, amotion was made
to strike out $200,000 and insert SBOO,OO0 —Yeas
08. Nays 26. A motion to strike out not less than
$7,000 and insert not more than $7,000. Agreed to.
The second, third and fourth sections as read
were agreed to.
The fifth section was read, amended and agreed
to.
The sixth section amended by striking out 3
years and inserting 5 years, was agreed to.
The seventh section was read and agreed to.
The eighth section was amended thus: And
the lien of this individual liability shall attach
and bind the real and personal property of the
stockholders from the time of the endorsement by
the State of the bonds of the Company.
Mr. Harris of Glynn, was opposed to the
amendment, because, if this amendment should be
adopted, -it would deter persons from taking stock
in the Company.
Mr. Ifillycr, regretted to encounter the opposi
tion of the gentlemen from Glynn, but bis duty
compelled bimjjto insist ‘upon it. If the lauds
through which the road Would pass, arc increased
in value they can certainly lose nothing.
Air. Hardeman: It amounts virtually to debar
ring persons from taking stock in the Company.
Mr. Kcuuan: If the road results in^euhaacing
the value of the land owned by the stockholders
they may well afford to mortgage them to the
Stare.
Mr. Hardeman >( Bibb; Do stockholders wish
the State to endorse- their bonds, when they are
opposed to endorsing them themselves.
Air. Hillyer wished to say to the gentleman
from Bibb, that he stated to this House last win
ter that be could not vote fora bill of this kind un
less the State was fully indemnified.
Mr. Harris o| Glynn: This seals up the proper
ty of the Stockholders.
Air. Kenan: When we are called upon to cripple
■ this? entrpri.se, to give it the stab of Jonh, we had
bettor withdraw the bill.
After a running debate, in which several gpem
j bers took part, and after a variety of amendments
! to the remaining sections, the sections andamend
; ments were agreed to. The bill as a whole was
not acted upon, and the House adjourned until
9)4 a. m. tomorrow.
It appeared from tho funnber of amendments
offered and agreed to, that the aid ot the State
will not be lent to tho enterprise— t lie first amend
ment increasing the individual subscription irom
| $200,000 to SBOO,OOO will, we think, at least post
| pone the commencement of operations.

Such information is being received from day to

The following Past Midshipmen have been pro

George E. Law, Edward Lea, Alex, F. Crossman,
P. Lull, Charles S. Norton and Hamilton It. Dal

The emigration party designing to sail for Nic
aragua have, it is stated on what is believed to be
good authority, been invited 1 hero by the democrat
icos, to make common cause against tlie new con
stitution. Hence a revolution is confidently an
ticipated, and, as one of the results of its success,
the return of tlie ratified Cass-Yvisurri treaty.
The American Atlantic and Pacific Canal Com
pany have complained to the State Department of
Jerez’s interference with their affairs, to their det
riment. It is stated that a letter has accordingly
been prepared, satisfactory to the company, ad
dressed to this Nicaraguan envoy.
The Receipts into the United States Treasury
for the quarter ending September 30 were twenty
five and a quarter millions, and from the loan tea
millions of dollars. The expenditures were up
ward of twenty-two millions, including over eight
millions for the army, and four millions for the
navy.
The 25th of November will be observed as a
day of thanksgiving to Washington.
The Legislature of Mississippi.
The legislature of Mississippi met at Jackson
on the Ist instant. Hon. James Drane was elec
ted president of the senate by acclamation, and
Mr. S. S. Calhoun secretary. The house was or
ganized by ihe election of J. L. Antry as speak
er, and Mr. C. A. Brougher as clerk. A resolu
tion was introduced in the senate by Mr. Davis,
and made the special order for the ensuing Thurs
day, declaring that the institution of slavery, as
now held and practiced in the southern States, is
neither legally nor morally wrong, and hence the
law of Congress making the slave trade piracy
should be repealed.
The governor’s message was read in both
branches, and a number of extra copies ordered
to be printed. With reference to the levee sys
tom. a project designed to give security to the bot
tom and swamp lands along the Alississippi river,
the governor recommends that a tax be levied on
all the swamp property sufficient to build up this
protection. After careful reflection, he could see
no means for the early completion of the railroads
but by the interposition of State aid. He would,
therefore, in aid of these great and beneficient
works, recommend that a tax of one-quarter of
one per cent, be levied upon all the taxable pro
perly of the State, outside of that heretofore pro
posed to he taxed for levee purposes. He had no
hesitation in recommending the State University
of Oxford to the fostering care of the legislature,
and to the care of all the people of the State, with
the expression of the hope that every young man
in the State who is desirous of a thorough educa
tion will seek it at Oxford, and not in other
States.
In reference to the common-school system, he
recommends the appointment of a superintendent
in-chief, whose duty it should be to travel over
the State, lecturing and advising and directing as
to those schools, and that he should annually re
port to the governor on the first day of October
the condition and pecuniary resources of these
schools in each county in the State, with the num
ber of children being educated in them, and his
views generally in reference to the legislation ne
cessary to give efficiency to the common-school
system.
Tiie Eighth Wonder of the World. — We
have before us the annual Alessage of the Govenor
of Georgia—honest Joseph E. Brown —to the two
houses of the State Legislature, and in this mess
age of eight closely printed newspaper columns we
can find nothing on the subject of niggers. The
Federal government and administration, Kansas
(yes. Kansas,) Lecompton and the English bill.
Douglas, Seward and ihe black republicans, slave
ry, slaves free niggers and all, are crowded out by
such humdrum subjects as the State finances,
banks, railroads, education, schools, asylums, Ac..
Ac. If there is any parallel to be found for this in
the annual message of any Southern or Nothern .
Govenor of the last twenty-five years we should
like to know it. Only think of it—a Georgia Gove
nor, in the year 1858, writing a message of eight
newspaper columns without a single paragraph on
slaveiy or niggers in any shape or form! It is the
eighth wonder of the world. Well done Govenor
Brown. Who speaks next !.—AS Herald.
Doing it Gracefully. —The Rome (N. Y.(
Sentinel “gives it up” in the following good hu
mored manner.
By such election returns as we have received we
are inclined to the belief that the country and
State have gone slightly Republican ! The late
hour our returns close, leaves us no time for com
ment : besides, we are otherwise too busily enga
ged. as we have our bundle of clothes under our
arm, with a cotton pocket handkerchief full of
doughnuts swung over our shoulder, and are jus;
leaving on foot for Salt River. Good bye!
The Legislature. —Thus far both Houses of
the General Assembly have evinced a laudable
desire to proceed with the public business with
dispatch. How long this state of things is to con
tinue, we venture no prediction. But it should be
remembered that the Legislation thus lar is almost
entirely local : very few of the subjects whieh
have been the topics of newspaper discussion du
ring the year, have yet been touched. Public
Education, State aid to Railroads, The State
Road. The Supreme Court, and others ot not less
importance and prominence are sleeping in the
Committee room. When they get fairly before
the Legislature, the battle of words will begin.—
Daily Federal Union.
‘Without Government. —Chihuahua, Alexieo,
is represented as being without any Government.
The people were divided into several parties, with
out support from either the consitutional or Zulo
aga Government,
Cu> Wkathek, Asn Cotton.— The breath of
winter has been felt in uur latitude, but not yet
with blighting influence. His frosts have been
visible lint notkiiliug. The change is a delightful
one, — healthful and bracing. Cotton however is
not vet touched on the uplands : it would not mat
ter if-it had been, as almost the entire crop has
matured. It is a mistake though, we think, to
calculate upon the present crop being an unusual
ly large one. The rush to market would lead to
this supposition. But this has been owing to the
fact of the early maturity"of the crop, superadded
to fb.e circumstance of tine prices. The planters
have, on these accounts, been able to gather and
willing to sell rapidly. At least such has been the
case in Edgefield. We have lately seen numerous
cotton iields in both the pine and oak lands; and
nearly the whole crop is open and out, —most of
it sold doubtless. Judging by our immediate sec
tion. we should say that there are good grounds
for thinking that the ci op of cotton stands at pre
sent over-estimated. Jhie thing it is delightful
to bear, —would that we could all see it! It is,
that money is becoming abundant throughout the
country and that the rates of money arc rapidly
falling.— Edgefield (.S'. C.) Advertiser.
Niagara Falls —The Hoad to Termina
tion Point Fallen Away. —We learn from The
Hamilton Spectator that constant change, the law
of nature, reigns too at Niagara. Every year, the
outline of the wonderful cataract changes, as the
mighty waters slowly but surely wear away their
channel, carrying in their embrace now’ a small
fragment, then a huge mass of rock into the
chasm below. Years ago, our readers well remem
ber, Table Rock yielded !o Time, and at succes
sive periods pieces of it have fallen. On a visit
to the Falls a day or two since, we observed anoth
er change has occurred, meriting at least a passing
notice. Every sight-seer must recollect the pain
which, commencing below the brink of the ravine
on the Canada side, almost opposite Prospect
House, leads beneath Table Bock, and which
those who desire to go “under the sheet of falling
water” used to traverse iu their water-proof habil
iments.
It led to Termination Point, as a spot a long
distance under the cataract was called, and the
adventurer who dared air and flood* to reach it.
blinded by spray, deafened by the terrible roar
which the heating million tons of water on the
rocks below produces, used to receive a certificate
of his having accomplished the feat. The oil
skins are yet in requisition, the guides yet demand
and receive their fees, and the certificates are yet
given. Termination Point, too, may yet exist.
But no mortal being can visit it. It never could
be seen from the shore end of the cavernous tun
nel—mne side rock, the other water, and the floor
a. composition of both —which led thither. And
the path to it is now cut off. The road along
which one used to grope has fallen array. One
can still walk about a yard under the cataract, but
then the hardiest and most courageous must pause,
no further foothold is afforded, and another step
would lead one to an intimate acquaintance with
all the mysteries which it is here forbidden us to
know. Ere long, doubtless, now that the stratum
of soft rock below has fallen and been pounded to
clay, the upper mass will fall. And then another
step will have been taken in the slow’ and tedious
course in which Niagara has eaten its gown way
back from Queenstown, and is, if geologists say
true, to wear itself away somewhere, above Chip
pewa.
Gen. Wm. Walker—His Own Account of
his Plans. Washington, Nov. B. —Gen. William
Walker’s business here is not directly with the
Government ; it is in part to ascertain the extent
of the proposed British interference in Nicaraguan
affairs. He is satisfied that it will be no hindrance
to lawful emigration to Nicaragua. He denies
the truth of the statement that there has been a
sale of bonds, and the Transit route, and hence
that part of the President’s Proclamation must
have been founded on incorrect information. lie
further says, that the passengers leaving Mobile,
are expected to pay their own expenses and act on
their own responsibility. The emigration is under
the auspices of the Southern Emigration Company,
which has been in existence for six months, and
has branches in Alabama., Mississippi, Louisiana
and Georgia. There is no clashing of interests
between it and the Canal Company. Gen. Wal
ker will probably leave for Mobile to-morrow,
though it is not ceriain that he will go out with
the first party to Nicaragua.

Rev. Samuel Babcock, says: ‘ I found special
relief front its use, for a severe headache, with
which I had suffered. ’
J. W. Wood well, Esq., says: “I have used Boer
haves Holland Bitters ntyself and recommended it
to others, knowing it to he jnst what it is repre
sented.”
Alderman Jonathan Neely: of Lower St. Clair, i
says “I have derived great benefit from its use for j
weakness of the stomach and indigestion.”
James M. Murphy, says: “After several pbysi-

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Almost every body has heard of Wood’s Hair
Restorative. That the word Restorative in this
case is no misnomer, we have the testimony of
individuals whose elevated position iu the country
as well as their acknowledged and honorable cha
racter as gentlemen, render whatever they publicly
asssertin the lust degree reliable. Several of
these have tested, personally, the hair preparation
we are now speaking of, and certify to its amazing
efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their
certificates can be seen at the proprietor’s depot,
312 Broadway, New York, and once seen and
properly appreciated, we have no hesitation in
saying they will impress conviction on the most
skeptical mind. Wood's Hair Restorativo is,
doubtless, the best article of its kind ever yet pro
duced.
-SAG’It does not dye, but gives life, health and
beauty to the decaying, falling and dead, restoring
as if by magic, that which was supposed to be ir
recoverably, lost. Heads nearly bald, and others
nearly white, are daily being changed to their
pristine beauty, and laces covered wit h pimples a re
rendered as smooth as an infant’s, and blushing
as a rose, all by the use of Prof. Wood’s Hair Re
storative. For sale at 114 Market Street, and by
all Druggists.— Chicago Democrat.
Sold by all Druggists in this city, and by deal
ers and druggists generally throughout the United
States and Canadas. oct27—wd2w.

in the “Empire State."’ either by a foreign or wiUre ar
tist. His prices range from that much <lc3}rised e-vm—

pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United

those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver

prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fullv understands the nodus operamli of picture
taking. AU he wants is a fair and impartial trial, and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store. Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and show
them his specimens at ail times.

quailed flavor.
We hope that you may have astockof growing vir-es
of this vn&iaMc Grape sufficient to supply the fame <1

We recommend those of our friepiis who w ish m
! raise the Grape, by all means to purchase vines of you.
as your Grape is. in our opinion, less liable to rot. and
