t'OUMBI’N, MOKIAY, KOTEUIB *. 1858.
Hall Hoad to Lumpkin.
The brief article which we permed for our Sat
urday’s, issue was in type before we saw the re
marks of the Enquirer on the same subject. Oth
erwise, wc would have been more respectful to our
cotemporary than to say that the importance of
such a road to this city was not a debatable ques
tion. We presume the Enquirer will admit that
the proposed road will increase the trade and com
merce of Columbus except upon a contingency to
wit: the building of a road from some point on
the South-western lino (say Americus) to Lump
kin. Indeed this much is conceded when our
neighbor says : “Such a road would certainly be
a feeder to the Girard & Mobile Railroad Ac. _
Whatever feeds the Girard A Mobile Road must
necessarily feed Columbus, not only because it
enhances the value of her stock in that Company*
but because it must, necessarily, be freight or trav
el to or from this city. We quote further from our
neighbor’s remarks:
“But we regard it as almost inevitable that il
the road was constructed to Lumpkin it would
very soon be carried a little further east and make_
a connection with the G'uthbert branch of the
South-Western Railroad. The distance would be
so very short, and the advantage of the connec
tion so great, that it would be effected as a matter
of easy attainment. No doubt the SouthAV estern
Railroad would itself bo willing to close up the
insignificant gap. And when this was done, not
only all the eastern travel and freight from Hor
ence and other points along the road east of the
Chattahoochee would avoid the route by way of
this city as circuitous and unnecessarily long and
go by way of Americus instead, but in all proba
bility a large proportion ot the trade and travel
from west of Silver Run on the Girard and Mo
bile Railroad would take the same direction.”
Our ooteinporary would not have written the
latter sentence of the above paragraph, had he ta
ken time for reflection. Fort Mitchell, and not
Silver Run, is the point at which it is proposed to
make the connection with the Lumpkin and Uor
ence road. From Fort Mitchell to Fort A alley,
via. Florence, Lumpkin and Americus, the dis
tance is 111 miles, via. Columbus, it is only 81
miles—making a difference which must operate as
a perpetual bar to the passage of Mobile & Girard
freight over the lower road.
We inquire, in the next place, into the proba
bility of the construction of a road from Lump
kin to Americus. We shall assume that if it be
built at all, it will be built by the South- Western
Company. If we may judge from their action,
the citizens of Lumpkin are attached to this mar
ket and prefer a connection with us. If it were
otherwise —if they desired a connection with
Americus, the best possible means to throttle such
an enterprise would be to induce them to invest
in the Florence road. Neither road would pay as
an investment, and they could not be prevailed
upon to build both. But the fact is as we have
stated it —Lumpkin is anxious for the Columbus
connection. What inducement would the South-
Western Company have to build a road to 1 jump
kin ? We do not know’ the distance from the lat
ter place to Americus; but, it tucrc is any accu
racy in Bonner’s Map, it is more than thirty miles,
on an air line. We may safely assume that a
practicable route cannot be secured under a less
distance than 85 miles. We have already shown,
from a comparison of distances, that such a road
could not get any East Alabama trade. It would
derive its chief support, therefore, from Stewart
County. What does our cotemporary think of the
probable value of such stock? This “iusignifi
cant gap” would be suddenly magnified and be
come a very significant gap in the profits of the
Company. Now what would be the object of its
construction ? To increase the business and en
hance the value of the South-Western road, surely.
But were it not built—if everything came to Co
lumbus, in going East freight and travel would
be forced to go over 25 miles of the South-Western
road in order to reach Fort Valley, while by Amcr
icus it would only pass over 42 miles of the same
road. The South-Western Company, therefore,
would build an unprofitable road 35 miles in
length to gain a comparatively small amount of
freight over 17 miles of road already constructed
,—a degree of fatuity and folly which we w ill not
ascribo to the intelligent President and Directors
of that Company. We have said that neither road
would pay as an investment —in dividends to
Stockholders. This, however, should not and
will not deter the citizens of Lumpkin and
Florence, and the people along the line trom seek
ing a connection with us. The facilities for the
transportation of their produce and for obtaining
their supplies, besides tbo means of ready access
to the best cotton and grocery market in the State
which such a road would afford, would be a per
petual source of income to them and, in the end
would amply remunerate them for their outlay.—
This city, in her corporate capacity can do noth
ing ; hut she would be the beneficiary of such an
enterprise and her people should not withhold the
proper encouragement for its prosecution.
J. L. Orr, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, arrived in W ashington on I? ri
day, and on Saturday evening was honored with
a serenade at his hotel, lie was called out, and
made a brief speech, and concluded with the re
mark : *
“I thank you heartily for this expression of your
kind feelings towards me, and permit me, in ad
dressing you perhaps for the last time, to conclu
de with a quotation from the great Webster:
•Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and
inseparable !’ [Loud and long continued clieer
ing.”]
Wonder if Mr. Orr don’t want something! Or
is he catching the Union itch, dry so?
British Philanthropy. —The value of the
British opium trade with China is fifty million of
dollars a year. It is a contraband trade, out
lawed by the Chinese Government, yet it is car
fried on briskly. The English Government wag
ed a war with China in 1840, because it declined
to allow the importation of this pernicious drug,
that destroyed its people by thousands. While
with one hand England is stopping the African
slave-trade, she is using the other to crowd the
deadly poison down the unwilling throats of the
Chinese. This is a fair specimen of British phi
lanthropy.
The Price of Editorial Happiness. —The
happiness of the editor of the Fernandina News, “is
secured for the week” by the presentation of some
vegetables from the prolific Garden of Mr. Thos.
Hawkins. The vegetables done the business ; but
as if they were not enough, one advertiser sends
him a box of candies; another a basket of ban
anas, oranges and apples; another a suspicious
bottle, covered with cobwebs; another a choice
hunch of Royal Havanas ; another a peck of grist:
another an overcoat; another two bricks and a
bundle of laths. The first sufficed to-secure hi*
happiness; the rest wrought him into a phrenzy
of delight, and inspired the hope that a turkey
will he sent for his Thanksgiving dinner, and for
which he ventures his thanks in advance.

Hon. John Forsyth.
This distinguished gentleman reached our city
on Saturday morning,*on route for Washington.
It has before been announced that he goes thither
by the direction of the President who wants the
aid of his information in relation to our difficulties
with Mexico. As soon as his arrival was an
nounced, the following order was issued by Capt.
Paul J. Semmes, of the Columbus Guards :
COLUMBUS GUARDS, )
Columbus, 27th November, 1858. }
Orders, 1
No. 29. }
In honor of the Hon. John Forsyth, Minister
of the United States to the Republic of Mexico,
now in this city, a salute of thirteen guns will be
fired at the intersection of Bridge and Oglethorpe
streets, at 2 P. M., under the direction of the Or
dnance Sergeant.
By order of Capt. PAUL J. SEMMES.
John W. Hodges, \st Sergt. Columbus Guards.
At the appointed hour, we .heard the booming
of the cannon, and to its deep-toned welcome re
sponded the hearts of our people. The shortness
of his stay among us forbade his acceptance of
further honors tendered him by this gallant
Company. Mr. Forsyth was for a long time its
Captain, and then, as now, it was the pride of our
city. He left in the afternoon train of the same
day for Washington. Health and good fortune
attend him!
From the Federal Union.
Hon. A. H. Wright.
Texas Valley, Floyd Cos., Ga., {
November 19 th, 1858. J
Dear Gus : —My mind has been running a good
deal on what we were talking about the other day,
and I have concluded to write to you and give my
opinions more fully than I was able to do at that
time.
What was expected of you, Gus, when you
were elected to Congress from this the stoutest and
most unswerving Democratic district, not only in
Georgia, but in the Union? You were unques
tionably elected as the friend of the Administra
tion, and had you not gained the confidence of
the party in that respect, you would’nt have poll
ed a corporal’s guard of democratic votes. No
member ever entered Congress with more flatter
ing prospects—with the confidence of a constitu
ency almost a unit in political faith—with talents
of a high ordor and capacity for anything, and
warm personal friends who were ready to back
your claims for any position your ambition might
aspire to. You certainly had a bright career be
fore you. Now what report have you to make of
your stewardship ? How have the fond anticipa
tions of your friends been realized? You have
been in Congress about twelve months, and have
as effectually annihilated yourself as if you had
never been extant at all. You have knocked all
the fat into the fire, and the conflagration has con
sumed you.
And how have you done it? Why first you
went and slept with Toombs and Stephens, and
caught the Douglas itch, and then imprudently
exposed yourself to an airing in the newspapers,
while the disease was in its confluent state. That
was madness, Gus. 1 have known a man to be
wrapped up in a straight jacket for less. No
man can tamper with his consitution in that man
ner with impunity, and I tell you, old fellow, you
are now in a bad way, and your political end
draweth nigh. How often, Gus, has your uncle
Billy and the rest of your friends warned you
against that pernicious habit of letter writing ?
The least said about those letters, the best. They
say nothing and say it badly at that. They as
sume no position, enunciate no principles, no
policy, no nothing. In fact you are nowhere, and
don’t know it.
Solomon (not old Billy) said “Oh that mine
enemy would write a book.” You’d have been a
foe to tickle his fancy, he’d* have gone to sleep
over you, Gus, and woke up to find that you’d
written, published and busted, before he’d fairly
got bis nap out.*
Men readily forgive rascality, but folly they
rarely pardon, and you have sinned almost past
redemption. But luckily for unfortunates like
yourself, there is no evil without a remedy, and
your uncle Billy is not the man to strike you
when down without helping you on your legs
again. In desperate cases, remedies must be
strong to be effective, and in your critical condi
tion I would strongly advise your total abandon
ment of the art of Chirography. Forget how to
do it and sign your name like Bonner makes cross
marks on his maps. Your only safety is in total
abstinence, for if ever you put pen to paper you
are gone.
When I heard of your first Douglas letter I went
home mighty down in the mouth, your aunt Polly
smelt a rat right off. What’s the matter old man ?
says she. Nothing but some political news that I
heard to-day, says I. What is it ? says she.—
Guess, says I. All the missionary Baptists going
to plump Hanks? says she. More than that says
I. Good gracious! old man, says she, Bob
Toombs aint said nothing and stuck to it, surely ?
That aint a circumstance to it, says I. You’ll
frighten me to death if you keep on this way.
Cobb aint had the apoplexy ? says she. No says
I, its about our Gus. Oh Lordy ! says she, you
need’nt say any more old man, I know now, Gus
has been a writing. She shucked and went to
bed, without saying another word, and her and
me lay there groaning, without sleeping a wink
that blessed night. Wc feel very much hurt at
you, Gus, for your uncle Billy is flattered in the
belief, that he is considerably of an ass himself, and
for you to go out of your way to break him down
at his own trade is unkind, as the pole cat said to
John Glenn when he put on his suit of corduroy.
If you had your uncle Billy’s pluck and manli
ness of character, you’d lie out of the whole,busi
ness at once, and swear that A. R. Wright of
Jefferson wrote those letters, and there would be
no great harm in it either, for Ranee has so many
sins to answer for already, that the additional en
cumbrance would’nt amount to much. However,
that is more than I can reasonably require of you.
But I have the right to expect you to abandon
that pernicious habit. If you can live without
seeing your name in print, then confine your lit
erary efforts to writing certificates for hair restor
ers and pile ointments, that’s innocent amusement
and can harm nobody, except those who take the
remedies, and serves them right for being such
fools. And if you must write letters write to me :
and they won’t be wasted. But by far the safest
course for you to pursue is to abandon the use of
stationery altogether.
The signs of the times look mighty squally for
you, Gus, and sorry it is that your uncle Billy has
to tell you so. Look at Turulin hugging every
body that will let him. Look at Chastain, travel
ing round, complaining of his biles, and getting
every body’s sympathy, and see Billy Clayton
(‘•the old man elephant”) how polite he is, hop
ping about as nimble and spry as if he’d sold out
and retired from the Tippoo Sultan line of char
acter. What do they point to ? They point to
the loftiest tumble for you next October that ever
a man got, if you don’t fall into ranks again in
double quick time ? You have kicked out of har
ness, old boss, but fortunately for you, you hav’nt
broke any thing, and now Just get your legs baek :
again over the traces and go along quietly, like a j
well broke horse, and dont get frightened at the
Bullgine. When Aleck Stephens goes again to
Illinois to have his picture painted, dont you have
your doggerytype taken too, or you'll be hung up
along with it and left hanging there for Bob and
Aleck to come and to take you down, and wont
you have to wait a long time, Gus? And when
Bob Toombs talks Douglas at you again do you
make him write it, and sign his name to it, and
print it. or Bob will dodge you certain,
Now I know What you will say when you sec me
again, you’ll smile on your uncle Billy in that in
sinuating way, g e your head a twist in that ami
able bird-like way of yours, and talk about honor,
convictions of duty, principles, Ac. Now Gus,
they are all gammon when they dont pay and to
make them profitable you must make them follow
your lead and not you follow theirs. Always make
your principles sebsurvient to your interest, and
when it is to your interest to change your princi
ples, right about face at. once, and make it a
point of honor as well as duty, to come down on
your old principles like a thousand of brick.—
And that’s the way for you b> get your foot out of
this Douglas business.
Bob and Aleck have got the start of you in the
rack back to the Democratic stand, but you have
the wind and bottom and can beat them on the
last quarter sretcb, if you dont spoil the sport by
bolting—there lies your danger. And when you
get safe back again, turn your pen into a tooth
pick, dye your whisker? with your ink, and tear
up your writing paper. Don’t have any thing
more to do with Toombs and Stephens, and Doug
las and all that set of skylarkers. They are not
the sort of boys for you to associate with, they will
always be getting you into trouble. Lean up to
old Buck like a sick kitten to a warm brick, culti
vate Howell, dig around him and dung him.—
Climb up the hill there at Rome to Fort Lumpkin
and talk to John, tell him you did’nt go to doit,
you'll do so no more. That’s your platform Gus,
stand to it, and Tumlin may bug tnc boys in vain:
Gossamer Billy get as tight and airy as a tom-tit
to no further purpose, and Chastain’s crop of biles
won’t pay the expense of cultivation.
Asa parting injunction, I would advise you to
have the following little mottoes printed in large
letters and stuck in conspicuous places about your
house, so that whichever way you turn your eye
will light on at least one of them. No write—No
n d — letter—Forgot how —Cross roads his mark —
Talk to you all day—Soy anything you want to
hear—lint write, never—wont pay — Quit —Learnt
better sense — Perish Penmanship — Stationery
Avaumt!!!
Now Gus you have the benefit of your uncle
Billy’s counsel, an: 1 if you feel that you owe me
any return for it. , uu can fully repay me by fol
lowing it to the ietter. Do so, and if ever you
rue it, my name isn’t Mu. Woodpile.
A Hi-Broad Engine on its Travels.
The Lfost Remarkable Leap on Record. —At
Cincinnati, on Wednesday morning, a locomotive
of the Marietta Railroad started down the track
about half a mile, when the man in charge seeing
a locomotive of the Little Miami Rock backing
towards him, and fearing a collision, reversed the
engine and jumped off. A minute after the two
engines came together, when the impetus given to
the Marietta engine, together with the foree-of the
reversed power, started it towards the depot with
the velocity of a rocket. The Gazette says :
The down grade gave it additional headway,
audit bounded along the track like a fiend incar
nate, belching forth fire and smoko to the distance
of twenty or thirty feet from the track, and literal
ly bounding from the iron rail, threatening de
struction to everthing that impeded its progress.
Experienced judges of the speed of railway trains
who saw this engine on its lightning travels say
that it could not have been going at a less rate
than seventy five to one hundred miles per hour !
Its final bringing up shows that their calculations
could not have been far out of the way.
Upon the track in the depot the moyning train,
consisting of some four or five cars, had been
made up, and about 100 passengers had already
taken their scats. On came the engine with the
speed of a destructive whirlwind, directly upon
the track leading to the train, until within about
four Ur five rods of the depot, when the fortunate
accidental change of a switch drove it upon the
other track.
Almost before the persons standing by could
realize that an engine had entered one end of the
depot, the iron steed had bounded through the
entire length, demolished an eighteen inch brick
wall, timbers and all, at the rear, leaped across
two road tracks —one about ten feet below the
other—without touching either, and imbedded it
self in a huge pile of coal in the yard of J. Coch
nower. The distance leaped, from the wall of the
depot to the lamp of the engine, could not have
been less than seventy-five feet. All this distance
through the demolished wall of the depot, it drag
ged the tender loaded with wood, without break
ing the couplings.
But for the fortunate change in the switch,
which threw the engine upon the opposite track to
that on which the Cleveland train was standing,
the loss of life must have been terrible. The
force which rent a brick wall, eighteen inches
thick, for circle of fifteen or twenty feet, would
have smashed the cars upon the track into frag
ments, and a fearful destruction of life and limb
must have followed. The damages to the locomo
tive is estimated at $3,000 to $4,000, and to the
Little Miami depot, SI,OOO to $1,2000.
Mexican Outrages on American Citizens.
From all accounts, Mr. Forsyth, our minister
to Mexico, will have a nice batch of grievances
to aslc redress for when he reaches Washington.—
Almost forced to leave the country to which he
was accredited, he could not be permitted, it seems,
to depart in peace. Not content with abusing
him in its organ—calling him a thief, conspira
tor, Ye.—the night before his departure the Gov
ernment visited his house ivith a police force,
claiming a person said to be a servant of Mr.
Forsyth’s. Nor did the police force leave the min
ister until the person claimed had paid $30,000 to
the police. The minister left without an escort,
was twice attacked by robbers, and the person who
was taxed the $30,000 twice attempted to be seiz
ed. And when the party arrived at Orizava, a
claim of $60,000 was made on this person. But
Mr. Forsyth declined to give up his servant, for
whom he had a passport.
But Mr. Forsyth was fortunate in faring no
worse. After his departure, we are told, by a cor
respondent of the New York Times, that an Amer
ican was excommunicated while standing in the
hotel in which he lived, for not going down upon
his knees when ordered to do so by a priest.—
Another American is now in prison in the city,
where he has lain for two months, for God only
knows what! The Government has preferred no
charge against him, nor have prayers, entreaties,
and protests of the good-hearted and patriotic
American Consul here been of any avail in dis
covering the cause for the persecution of this
poor man. His family have been reduced to the
most absolute want, and he lies in the hospital de
partment of the prison severely suffering from
acute rheumatic pains, contracted while confined
in a close, damp, dirty, and stone-cold cell. Com
plete victims of our stupid procrastination policy
may be capable of a sigh of regret for the sad pos
ition of this fellow-citizen.
Some may even go so far as to wish to avenge
his wrongs. Thomas Worral, an English gentle
man of long residence in the capital, had received
his passport and was ordered to leave the country
forthwith. His order of banishment was given
on account of non-compliance with the decree of
May 15. Mr. Perry, the friend of the ex-Ameri
can Representative, has his order to leave. Such
are a few of the latest outrages on foreigners re
ported to have occurred in the capital of the Mex
ican Republic. Persons and goods are without
protection; the last English mail had been detain
ed by Government; correspondence between Vera
Cruz and Mexico was interdicted: and unless
some sort of protection is soon afforded, all for
eigners will be compelled to leave the country for
their own safety.
Despatches have been received from Capt.
Chauncey, of the Niagara, dated at Porto Grande,
October 22. from which we learn that forty-five of
the captured Africans had died during the pas
sage to that place. It was found impossible to
break up the filthy habits of the negroes, which
greatly tended to spread the ravages of disease.--
Remonstrance was unavailing. Those portions of
the ship allotted to them, in spite of every effort to
keep them cleanly, had become almost a pest-house,
filling the air with pestilential vapors. Captain
Chauncey considers these negroes the most de
graded class he has ever seen. The females, how
ever, of whom one only had been lost, were in far
better condition of health and habits than the
males.— Wash. Union.
