[From the ltan< TrLWiekly Courier-J
Sprrrhof i'ol. Holhrri to the l’rfss
i:\cnrsion Parij.
Tltf follow ing very faithful and ac-
eiiRtle report of the Kpitadi made by
Col. llullu rt, on the steamer Etowah,
on the ittt'hl of the 2Stli inst., was
made by Col. J. II. Martin, editor of
the I'.htttihuH ICxQUiiiKt:, who ha>
kindly |»ermiUed ns In use it even he
fore it :ip|H»ars iu his own paper:
Col. lliilbert commenced by ex*,
planting his n*:i ons and objects in as
sembling-the n-presenlaltves of the
l*»e>s ol tieorjgia to accompany him on
this exctiision. lie said that in his
opinion, the railroads of Georgia had
pursued the wrong policy in adjust*
• ug tlieir tariffs upon commodities, the
ftiruishiu^ ol which, at cheap rales
was essential to the pros|N*r ly.of the
|ieo|>le, anti (he development of the
resource* of flu* State. /
Tujqti \ -live y«*um a*;o the iron in*
fT»r«»st ol J\*finsylvania was small.
The Pennsylvania Central Itaiiroad
devilled to carry coal and iron at very
low rates —much lower than the rales
ol any other railroad iu the eom»try.
Tin* business slowly and steadily in**
creased, until, after five yea»s, the
-ante ro.t l lowered the fiebjlils still
further, and the business continued to
increase until it been me a seouree ol
hamlsouie revenue to ihe Stale. He
had tried on the Slate Hoad the same
policy of reduction, and Ills reduction
had been billowed by an me reused
amount of business. It was now prob
ably, carrying voal and iron cheaper
than any other railroad iu the coun
try. Coal was delivered in Atlanta
last winter, rt $5 50 per ton ; and
coal, as fuel, compares with wood iu
tlie rates of one ton of coal to three
cords of wood. The Having to the cit**
i/.ciis ol Atlanta, 1st winter, by the
use of coal.ins!cad of wood, had been
about $200,000. Other cities had liecir
and would be benefited iu like man
ner-by the reduction ol freights on
joal; ami the consumption of coal will
no doubt, so rapidly increase that it
will, in a few years, require the entire
present carrying capacity of the Suite
Itond to transport it. Exclusive coal
trains are now run.
(.’heap coal produced cheap iron.
The machine shops and foundries,
along ihe line, since the reduction of
freights, have steadily increased tlieir
business, ami are now imjiortiiq*
more labor. The citizens of Georgia
have been importing iron, and wear
ing out tniich of if, when made into
agricultural implement— our bills are
lull of it—wearing out tlieir plows on
iron, ami complaining ln*oause it was
there ! lie had offered,and would oi
ler to transport iron and coal to foun
dries, shops, factories, etc., at rites as
low, or lower than those ot any other
road on the continent, lie wanted
fumades and "foundries, ail along llie
fine of his road, to lighr up the track
for his night trains.
He spoke of the vast undeveloped
mineral wealth ol this section of the
coni.Isv. He had been in correspond*
once with iron men in Pennsylvania
and Ohio, and had described to them
the nfiier.il resources of Georgia and
Alabama. The reports had struck
them with astonishment. He had as
sured them that there was no ground
for the apprehension that they would
he in any danger here ; that it woirtd
^be entirely s**h: fW them to come. lie
had, in the Railroad Convention, held
a year ago last January, proposed to
sell excursion tickets to persons from
the North, desiring to' explore the
.Southern country, and it was finally
agreeifto try this policy for six mouths.
About 5000 of such explorers visited
the Southern States within the six
months, and thousands more had prom
ised ta come Many of the hotels had
co-operated by reducing their rates
to such explorers. The plan worked
so well that before the cxpirat.on of
the six mouths, neatly all the roads
agreed to extend the time twelve
months longer. There he conceived
the idea of this excursion, as the eim
pleat ami cheapest plan ot advertising
the mineral interests aud resources of
Georgia.
He had said to all parties desiring to
locate near the Stale Koad a cotton
mill, furnace or fonndry, that he would
transport their machinery at very low
rates, and aid them iu other ways.
There is now more machinery along
that line than ever before. He bad
said to the iron men and manufactur
ers that he won Id endeavor to get for
them the same low rates from oilier
mads, and he had generally succeed
ed.
The St at o Road heretofore bad a
monopoly, and had taken advantage:
of it to charge higher rates than ether
roads.' He”doubled the policy of this
.course, and reduced the rates." Other
mads “had with some hesitation, come'
into the arrangement and lowered-iheir
rates. lie did not intend, by bis. re*
of property would yield a great reve»*
m.e.
Co!. Ilulbert directed attention to
the movements that threaten seriously
to curtail the business of the State
Hoad. Tlie road has lost monopoly.
The road from Decatur to Montgom
ery would take a large portion of iu
business, so would the Selma, Rome
ami Dalton Koad. .The proposed road
from Griffin to Decatur would have
the advantage iu grades, and become
a competing linct We would be corn*
polled to divide with that road. The
road iriun Knoxville toward Charles
ton would turn off aiiolhei portion ol
the f reights, now coining over the State
Koad. * It is surronuded with dangers
on all sides. Dfttat-W to be done?
lie would answ'er, purchase the liome
Hoad and extend it-tn Decatur. Build
the road from CarterstUteT to Van
AVer*, and extend it-futftWsfd, op the
line of Etowah, river, add build the
road from Dalton to Ifnrgattufc. .We
would Lima build up a local business
that would render tlie State Koad iu*
dependent of through freights. With
out this, iu a lew years, the revenue
ol ilu* State K ad might foil to cover
ibr expenses. The a*h»ptiou of a lib-
eial policy to aid in the development
ofltiie country, and tlie buildiug of side
lines, would not only save the State
Koad, lml make the jieople rich and
increase the amount of taxable prop
erty oOO per cent, in ten years. Tiu*
purpose lo build the roads, now tlireat-
cning such serious iroiii|H'tilin:i, arose
from the high rales charged oil llie
Slate Hoad, and the dcs*ir.i to avoid
them.
Col. Ilulbert thru read a table of dis
lances, to show more clearly the diffi
culties which the State Koad lifts in
prospect. He said that they 1 were not
all derived from reports of actual sur
veys, but they might lie relied on as
very ucarly correct. Wo copy tho
most important of them :

Col. Ilulbert called the attention of
the representatives of the Press par
ticularly lo these dangers threatening
the State Road. Our truo policy m
this emergency, was to build side lines
and develop tlie resources ol lhe£tale.
