Twonty-flvo per cent is about the rule, sad even that Is not hlng more nor lean tha«‘ black-mail, and too frequently assumes the form of bribery • for advertising In violation of the law’. The advertising of Lee county legitimately and legnlly belongs to tho Albany News, and but fora “Rat," weald appear Ig Its columns 'but thefluinter RrpvbHcan„ not only “cuts under,’’ but actually pays the 8horiff of that county eiu-Aof/thei fees, and this induces that officer t»» do nti unneighhorly act.

The caso of the Journal A Messenger nnd the linker county advertising is a most un. generous, unprofessional, aud Illegal illus tration. Tho Agent of that paper lolicited the county advertising for Baker, and by some mcam* or other induced the Sheriff and Ordinary to pate by tho paper that is, by law, good fellowship, fair dealing and the interest of the citixens of that county, elided to their advertising. It wont do for gentlemen to plead the bald abstract right to ao tho*o things. Whatever is illegal is not right, and whatever is un professional is dishonorable. To cuable our contemporaries to see them- aelrea as others see them, suppose we pro pose to advertise for the following counties -*t the rate* namod : Dooly, SlTffs sales, per levy $2 00 WaBeter 2 00 Mobroe 2 00 Twlgg* 2 00 Campbell..... 1 60 Columbia 1 60 liarri* ] 60 Emanuel...- ; 1 00 Bryan 1 00 Baldwin.... 1 ..^...'.,'. 1 00 Of course the officers would have to vio late the law, and as wa offer no inducement in the way of black-mail upon our labor we M cjtfWCt to. advertise with us; but newspaper proprietors cannot fpil to see Qqpntto for the counties we are entitled to by laV, %nd<otntnon right, are as low as, • ww-can live ft, and those who are mean enough to Wtadt this sort of woTk*done with- Georgia .re not on Ihxl otder, though th.j Coast Surtky to detemine U» longitude of tbcikfiiSpimHiutyf dipcovcryd the follow- }ty signals passing from > and return, BP|f and return, was two-tenths; to Omaha, Ne- _______ i Salt Lake City twA» ‘*CbiuocaTno«ot/^^ff^S/i«r/i Jkn (Balnbrtdge) takes us to taek for chatac- terisiag the Bainbride, Cutbbertand JColuiu- bus Railroad enterprise) as a “curious pro ject." It did, at first, strike us as a “curious," unnecessary and visionary , *prqjcct, , * but ou looking further Into tho designs of tho pro jectors, and tho importance of the scheme in an agricultural and immigration point of view, we have changed our notion material ly,- and now a«e 1l as a curiously interesting auxiliary to the development of the agricul tural resources of a vast region, now almost a wilderness. The San greatly errs If It wd aro contracted in our views about Railroad ini. provementa, or tbo prosperity of the town we life in at thf expense 6f others. Wo want every body to have railroaJ faei)itles who can afford them, and we have ever favored liberal State aid to wisely located linen; and one of the surest tehts of proper location is the opposition of monopolies and the hue and cry of oorporationa likely to he effected Injuriously. Wo hold that the people along tho Chattahoochee have ns much right to Stale aid an those along tho AllaiuuLa, the Florida line, tho Air line, the Ui'iiuswiok & Albany line, or the Cherokee region ; nor da we believe hiioIi aid a wasteless expenditure of the Slate’s bounty. If nny of tho older Hoads or older cities are in the wrong plan 1 , they imiHt yield to the progress of the ngc, and submit to Inevitable results. Time is honoeforth to be the eotitroling clement of transit, nnd commerce in nil Ita branches will demand the strnightest lines and Die shortest rates.

The .Slate ia not likely to lose anything by endorsing Rail road boudn; but if »>h« dm-a get caught In n non-paying enterprise now and I[icii, the general development of her resources, and the im-reased value of her taxable prop erty will reimbiirsu her treasury, and the people at Isrgs will grow rich, sad rise to a higher standard of intelligence and culture in the arts of peace and civilisation.

Their puny efforts will no doubt ho exerted, but us well might they attempt to dam the Missis sippi With the proof shoots of the JtnUrpthc, or control the wold’s commerce with Its edi torials, an to attempt the licmilcati task of delaying tho State’s bounty or schotching the great project of the ago.

Will the people of this section of the State permit tho enormous fraud of ihu Lcgudntugu in aiding the ahovo road to the amount of $•'1,000,000, to go quietly into operation when ita meet* threatens to destroy or render val ueless nearly $2,000,000 already iuveated by the Stale iu the Atlantic k Gulf aud South Ga. k Fla railroads? Wo ask will those in terested allow this great mischief to be dono without an effort to prerent It ? We believe the State aid to the Brunswick & Albany tailroad bill can bo defeated by protest and injunction 1f tho people will bo up and doing. The Atlantic & Gulf and the South Ga k Flu. railroad Companies should immediately hold meetings and unite to stop the progress of the fraud by filing a bill of injunction. It should bedona baforeclaims can be acquired against the State by work on the road.
