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.

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. lie urged the Press to take hold of iIh-sc questions, and arouse the people to tlieir importance. In regard to Col. Halbert’s ability, the reporter remarks as follows: He is a thorough railroad man. lie stud. ies railroa.l .movements as a player does a game ol chess, keeping his eye oil every possible shift of his adversa ry; guarding against attacks on his own flanks, as welt as bis front and rear, and combining hit own forces in such a way as at once to offer tbe most compact resistance to attacks, and lo move with vigor when tho occasion re. quires it, on the euemy’s works. We have hitherto criticised his manage ment of the Stale Itoad, lint we freely confess that we did not then under stand his policy as well as we do now; nor had we then perceived its bene, (its outside of tho ugnrea contained in his annual re|>ort and monthly pay- meals. Wc believe that lie wilt be able to convince the people of the Stale generally, as lie Certainly has convin ced almost the entire people of Upper Georgia, that Iho grapteel beset;S de rived from his mvmgeniMil Uro itotto be fniiud in the figures of thSaerreports, but must be sought in the rapid non. perm ion and steadily advaneingdetel^ opulent of many materia^interests and resources of tlie State. , .
