( OU MBIS, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1858. 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. Nothing of interest had occurred on the island. The health of the city was perfect. Stock of Sugars 85,000 boxes, with a quiet mar ket.

The Ist inst., All-Saints’-Day, and the 2d, All- Souls’-day, were celebrated in Havana with all the solemnity observed here on the former day. The American schooner C. Pendleton, Captain Stoddard, from New Orleans, arrived at Havana, on the 28rh ult. JUifiJMario de la Marina, noticing the defeat of Vidaum, bv Alirauaun, .states that there was not much doubt that Gen. Robles y l’ezuela would noon have possession of the Presidential chair of Mexico. 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 enttou continues to be urged with unflagging per tinacity.—A”. O. Picayune. 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 from the counties of Striven, Burke, Emmanuel and Bullock. Air. Gordon of Chatham, to add an additional section to the Penal Code of this State. This sec 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. For the Relief of Richard Scardan of the coun ty of Chatham. To amend an act providing for the education of State Cadets at the Georgia Military Institute. Air. Wall of Coffee: To incorporate the town of 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 exceed the proportion of S3 to Si specie bona Jide in the vault of the Banks. Air. Cameron of Wayne: To amend the 18th and 19th Sections of the Ist Article of the Consti tution. Also: To compel Sheriffs to advertise, Ac. Also: To exempt practising physicians from Ju ry and Military duty. 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. Washington Rents. Washington’ Nov. 9.1858. Senor Goieouria, of Cuban and Central Ameri can notaricty, and Gen. Henniugsen arrived here to-night. The filibuster question, Ihe right of expatriation question the Nicaragua emigration without organ ization and arms question, the neutrality laws, and the various features of these questions, were up before the Cabinet to-day. The President will enforce the law s, as lie is sworn to do, but will not interfere, where there is no violation of law', to please Great Britain, France, or any other Pow er. Such information is being received from day to day of outrages by Alexieans on our border that the Government will soon have to take very deci. sive measures to arrest the spread of anarchy and to protect our citizens. The Commissioner of Ihe* General Land Office has decided that r- umcer in ihe army can hold lands under tb Pre-emption Donation laws as other people there being no inhibition to prevent him, provided ie brings himself within the pro visions and i quirements of the kiw under which ho claims. The following Past Midshipmen have been pro moted. to Alasters from the 4th of Nov, 1858 : Philip Perdu Alfred Hopkins, Montgomery, Si card. Edmund D. Mathews, L. AlcK. Buchanan, George E. Law, Edward Lea, Alex, F. Crossman, P. Lull, Charles S. Norton and Hamilton It. Dal ton. 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. MARRIED. *4. In Girard, Ala., Nov. 10th, by the Rev. N. W.

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.
