MACON, G A .
MORNING, AUGUST 4,1849.
I0» The interesting proceedings of the Rail
road Convention will apologise for the want of
variety in our columns to-day.
Wheler’s Dollar Magazine. —We recom
mend to our readers this new periodical. The
mechanical execution of the work is very neat
and creditable, and the original matter is intcr
estingand valuable. We see no reason why a
I itcrary Magazine may not be supported in Geor
gia, and we feel confident that the work before
, IS will be one well worthy of an extended and
liberal patronage.
Macon and Madison Railroad. —The Con
vention which met in this city on Wednesday
last, adjourned on Thursday, to meet in Augus
ta on the 4th Wednesday in September. The
occasion for action in the premises, with regard
to this new enterprise, was the unjust discrimi
nation made between Macon merchants and
those of the interior by the Central Railroad
Company, together with the necessity of des
troying the present monopoly of trade upon this
route. That there were some and reasonable
causes of grievance, neither the people of Sa
vannah nor the Directors of the Central Road
will deny ; and that the people of Macon have
borne these impositions with patience is no less
true. In many instances our merchants have
been compelled to wait for their goods by the
Central Road until those of interior towns had
been served, and the freights for towns and vil
lages west of this, although received at the Sa
vannah depot some time after Macon freights,
were often sent through before them. The rea
son assigned is, that the motive power was in
sufficient to carry all the freights, and therefore
in order to keep the trade from the West, the
Macon freights must be delayed, because we
have no other means of transportation. We do
not believe that a defence of such conduct will
be attempted, nor do we think that the citizens
ofMacon can be charged with hostility towards
Savannah in this movement. Let the Central
Railroad increase its motive power,so as to pre
vent the accumulation of goods at the Savannah
depot and cotton at that of Macon, and much of
the cause of complaint from our merchants will
cease to exist. This we think would he to their
interest both at present and prospectively, and
we hope the attention of the proper authorities
will be forthwith directed to it.
We believe that a majority of the people of Ma
con have no ill feeling for Savannah—ourcitizens
will gladly make that city the outlet for their
trade, but they cannot suffer their State pride to
prompt them to sacrifice their own interests in
upholding and sustaining commercial abuses.—
Itcannot be churged against us, that we prefer
the seaport of another State to that of our own—
for if we do make this choice, it will be found
that Savannah has forced, us to it. We are con
fident that a more liberal course of policy would
secure to her the trade of this city—of Western
sod Southwestern Georgia—and, should the
Road to Madison be completed, she will have
the privilege of competing with Charleston for
the Cherokee trade.
To the people of Macon, the Madison Road
will be a perpetual security against monopoly—
and cannot fail to be profitable and convenient
I as presenting a choice of markets.
| Nr.w Cotton.— The first bale of New Cotton
| was brought to New Orleans from Port Lavaca,
Ito which place it had been brought ever since
the 15th ult., on the 21th July. Cotton was
. selling at 10 cents in New Orleans.
| Burks. County Railroad. —The citizens of
I Savannah advertise a meeting to be held in that
city on Tuesday next, the 7th inst., for the pur
pose of taking into consideration the immediate
| prosecution of this work. The citizens of Burke
I have held a meeting, and offered to subscribe

I town of Alexander.
K Heave Rains—We hnve had rain here for
■/"in necks past, without any intermission. The
■ crops of Corn and Cotton in our vicinity, as wo
■ learn from reliable sources, are likely to be very
Inuic/i injured from the unusually vvet season,
I and it is generally believed that if the excessive
Ir.iins have been universal throughout the State,
|n short crop of Cotton will be the consequence
'' c also lea m that a part of the work on the
(■Southwestern Railroad has been undermined
| an 'l l ' ,e progress of the work hindered a great

W.& A. Railroad.— The Atlanta Intelli
gencer gives the following as the receipts of tra
vel on the Western Ac Atlantic Railroad from
June 15 to July 23, both inclusive, for the years
1848 and 184'J :
1849, $1,183 82
1848, 4,203 69
S2BO 13
The Intelligencer adds: “The cheap fare
commenced this year on the loth June, and the
above statement shows how it is working com
pared with last year. It may be well enough
• Iso to observe, that last year the pleasure tick
ets, as the cheap rates were called, were paid
for both ways in advance, but that all the trav
el which has gone up now must pay its way
back ; so that the prospects for increased receipts
is very flattering, and must be gratifying to the
officers of the Road, who first suggested the
three cents rate, as well as the travelling public
who enjoy the benefit.”
Ei.ectricitv and CHOLERA.-Frofess
or Olmstead, of Y alo Collage has an arti
cle on this subject in the New Haven Pal
ladium, in which he denies that there is
any unusual and mysterous connection be
tween the condition of atmosphereic elec
tricity and the prevailing epidemic. The
facts which have been usually alleged in
proof of this connection, he explains on
the supposition that certain causes which
change the electrical state of the atmos
phere, tend also to increae or diminish the
ravages of cholera. Tho relation of
the atmosphere to electricity are controll
ed chiefly by the united agencies of heat
and moisture. Thunder storms occur
most frequently when the air is hot and
damp, Lut this state of the atmosphere
is unfavorable to the action of the electric
machine and other appartus for the artifi
cial production of electricity.
The hot and humid air which generates
thunder-stoms and impairs the action of
electrical apparatus, is remarkable for
promoting chemical changes in animal and
vegetable substances. In such a state of
the air meat soon spoils, bread sours, but
ter grows rancid, milk curdles, sweet
meats ferment. Here, we perceive, the
Professor argues, that the same condition
of the atmosphere which precedes thun
der-storms and impairs electrical action,
aggravates malignant diseases, and if, at
any place where the pestilence is prevail
ing, there is an unusual absence of thun
der and lightning, we may regard it as an
obstacle to the progress of the epidemic.
A copious supply of rain, however, has a
tendency to lessen the ravages of diseases.
The Professor concludes that the disposi
tion to ascribe the production of tho chol
era to variations in the electrical state of
the atmosphere are not in accordance with
the cautious spirit of the inductive philoso
phy.

great favor to pass some hours with the
German diplomatist. The Duke of Wil
lington goes often to converse with him.
Lord Palmerston himself shows special
attentions to Mr. de Metternicii, and asks
his advice on the political affairs of Eu
rope ; his banishment is thus a triumph
rather than a fall.
I* rom his retreat the Prince de Met
ternich still directs the court of Austria.
The new Emperor, Francis Joseph, does
nothing important without first consulting
the wily diplomatist, and the Czar Nicho
las corresponds with him by frequent let
ters. These marks of confidence give to
Mr. do Mefternich great importance. He
preset ves his pride and his arrogance, and
loves to talk like an oracle, veiling from
his heaiets tho secrets which he sees in
the future.
1 lie late events have not at all changed
his opinions. He is and absolutist, as be
fore, and you may be sure that he will die
in his political faith. He despises utterly
the democrats; and maintains that the
revolutions of the European continent are
meannesses, follies, which will afford useful
lessons to kings. He blames princes for
their weakness, because they heed the
wishes of the people. Ho even reproach
es Pious IX. for lending an ear to the ap
plauses of the 'liberals. Prince de Met
ternich believes that, after brief convul
sions, Europe will be happy to return,
under the double yoke of legitimacy and
theocracy. With him, royal and priestly
despotism is the perfection of governments.
He rejects not only the revolution of 1789,
but also the Reformation of the 16th cen
tury, and waits for the day when this world
shall return to the institutions of the dark
ages.

REUUIOI'S MEDITATIONS—NO. XII.
COMFORTABLE. REFLECTIONS FOR DESPONDENCE.
Thero are moments in my experience when
the most cheering assurances and encouraging
promises fall like dull weights upon my spirit.—
Perhaps I may not be enabled to assign a reason
for these doubting periods—but at all events, 1
am not during their stay, *atall inclined towards
reasoning the matter. Now, as circuinstancial
evidence, or at any rate, the evidence of circum
stances, is often reliable—l may succeed not on
ly in determining a cause for this evil, but also
a remedy for it. Three tilings conspire to pro
duce this state of mind : 1. I become wearied
with continual watching, and fall into a state of
negligence and false, security. 2. Consequently,
not seeing any necessity for it, 1 cease to pray.
3. The Devil, seeing this state of affairs, finds
a glorious opportunity to make me doubt at first
the propriety, and then the reasonableness of
being so enthusiastic in religious concerns. An
idle bnrin being the workshop of Satan, he im
mediately begins his work, and very soon it is
evident that my mind is filled with the lumber
which he uses. Too cunning at first to manu
facture instruments of labor, wherewith to give
me employment; he constructs sofas and set
tees to encourage luxury and indolence—until I ■
become so enchanted that 1 have entirely forgot
ten my former course of self-denial and cross
bearing. Just here I get into the wilderness—
having lost sight of the pillar of cloud, and wan'
dered off from the main body of the army. Not
a single member of the Lord’s host can I see in
the distance, and very soon, wearied and thirsty,
I throwaway the weapons of warfare, and sink
down without either moral courage or ambition
to proceed any farther.
Oh, how grateful should we be that the mer
cy-seat has been erected, in place of tho tribu
nal of justice ! Poor deluded man ! how often
art thou over-persuaded by thy enemies to har
bor again in thy bosom the frozen reptiles that
thou hast so long discarded. Here—in the wil
derness, without a guide or even a friend to con
dole with me—difficulties press me on every
hand, and there is no way to escape. If I look
forward, I seo nothing but a labyrinth of dark
and devious windings ; if to the right or left, I
can find no help; but the Devil says go back to
Egypt. But alas ! I can’t get there : the Red
Sea of penitence separates me from the flesh
pots of my former bondage-land. What shall I
do ? To stay here is death ; to go back is ruin ;
to go forward is uncertainty itself.
Oh, my Soul! tliou art in a dark, dreary, and
sorrow-stricken world—in a valley of sepulchres
and cltarnal-houscs, where all around thee is
infected with The warm breath of pestilence.—
The unseen arrows of death fly thick and fast
around thee, and tliou knowest not that tile
next dart will spare thee !
Whilst here I give over the race, and lie per
fectly heartless and motionless, the Spirit of Je
hovah beams in upon my darkness, and for a
surety I find that man’s extremity is God's op*
portunity. When I was driven from every oth.
er hope and expectation, the Lord gave me the
light of understanding to know where I was, and
the energy of his grace to nerve me onward.—
“Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of
him ? or the son of man, that tliou carest for
him?” When he has exhausted the strength of
his own arm, and sought refuge in the last vain
effort of his ingenuity, then the child of the
dust looks up, and says “Lead me to the Rock
that is higher than I
But what reason is there for despondency ?
It is true that “I possess no foot of land, no cot
tage in this wilderness,” and that I am a “poor
wayfaring man,” but 1 “know” that I “have a
building of God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens.’’ What more of wealth
do I need ? The most beautiful palaces of earth
decay—their marble floors and decorated walls
decay—the castle's dome and the cottage roof,
like “victors’ wreaths and ntonarchs gems, will
blend in common dust.” Indeed, I may say to
myself “this will I do, I will pull down my barns
and build greater, and I will say to my soul,
Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for thyself,
take thine ease; eat, drink, and bo mery,” but
what if God should say “Thou fool I this night
shall thy soul be required of thee ; then whose
shall all these things be ?” What if Ido live in
a hut upon earth, if I am to have a palace in
heaven ? My earthly house is small and unpre
tending—the rich and great of the land pass by
iii their fine carriages and look over its roof—
but it is well that a traveller to the grave should
sojourn near to the ground. While the wealthy
are looking out from tho balconies and plated
roofs of their mansions on the hill, over the sur
rounding vallies, I sit in my easy chair by the
window, and my mind wanders up higher and
higher until I get far above the earth—and there
my imagination is ravished with delight, at the
prospects of my new home ; the gazers from the
balcony see but a few miles on either side, but
in my mansion in the Now Jerusalem, my eyes
peer out for millions of miles, over a vast and
boundless plain, filled with an innumerable and
triumphant host, with golden crowns upon their
heads and the olive-branch of peace waving in
their hands. As the gentle breezes,come rolling
like the ocean waves, the songs of joy and glad
ness from the distant throng. Very soon 1 shall
join them—what a glorious thought! Yes, now
I cannot dress in cloths and satin, nor decorate
myself with brilliant ornaments and jewels, but
then I shall be arrayed in white—the common
robe of rich and poor. I have no splendid so
fas, gilded pianos, or marble furniture, but a
well-thumbed Bible and a book of hymns supply
their place—l have no time to lounge away : I
must be preparing to move to my new houso
Blessed be God ! it will not he long before Ho
tells me to come up higher. “My suffering-time
will soon be o’er,” and I shall depart to that
land where sighing is no more—there 1 shall be
at rest. No more weeping, nor sorrow, nor care,
for all will be brightness and glory there ! “Jeru
salem, my happy home ! oh how I long for thee!’’ 1
My Soul ! with such a prospect as this, can’st
thou despond ? Wilt thou despair when thou
art so near the prize ? Oh no! thou hast rela
tives in Heaven, and they are waiting for thee!
Go, gather up thy friends and neighbors, and
bring them with thee. ZAO.

Mayor’s Office,
Macon, ’June 4, 1849.
The general health enjoyed by the citizens of
Macon is, probably, without a parallel in any
community of its size in the Union. To insure
this blessing,a general state of cleanliness du
ring the summer months should be rigorously
enforced. The Aldermen of the city are here
by called upon to report the names of two citi
zens for each square in the city, whose duty it
shall be to co-operate with the Aldermen and
Board of Health, to examine, at least once a
week, until the 10th of October, all yards and
cellars, and to require the instant removal from
the city of all nuisances and filth calculated to
engender disease. Occupants of houses are
called upon to cause their premises to be thor
oughly cleansed and ventilated ; and it is farther
suggested, that the yards and cellars having
been cleansed, should be sprinkled with lime or
some other disinfecting agent. Those who are
aware of the existence of nuisances of any kind,
likely to become dangerous to the health of the
city, should lose no time in reporting the same
to the Mayor. Proper vigilance will bo exer
cised by the city authorities for the removal of
all such annoyances. A supply of lime and
chloride of lime will be furnished free of charge,
by the city authorities, to those who are unable
to buy, on application at this office. The fines
imposed by law for neglect in cleansing yards
will in all cases be enforced, when reported to
his office. GEORGE M. LOGAN,

fine, they are placing their dependence fur ele

denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c.
&.C.; be it the pride, the happiness, and the glory
of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is far more substantial—“t/ie results of his
practice." These are his dependence, and to
them he looks for that “professional” elevation
to which he aspires ; and judging of the future
by the past, he has every reason to believe that
he will not be disappointed. Influential bodies
may rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation
may place its ban and promulgate its anathe

traduce, but“FACTS are stubborn tilings:”
“Are cheils that winna ding,

One of which at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them lie lias laid the base, and
on them he expects to raise the superstructure ;

more to the list, already befiire tho public.
The following letter is from the Rev. John
W. Mills of the Florida Conference, of the M.
E. Church Souths who without the fear of the
Faculty before bis eyes, dares their rebuke and
accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying”
conduct, and boldly gives his experience to the
world. It is too late in the day for men to
school themselves into the repression of their
convictions :
Quince, Florida, April 10th, 1849.
Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
1 received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that Ido not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, my morbid appetite left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing I eat now agrees with me, and 1 am satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed to do their office when 1 last wrote
you, but these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with ine at the improvement in my health.
When I compare iny present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1
now enter into conversation with life, as I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in tny
heart for the Church has been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgetfulness, which disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach tho un
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines left, &c. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
Persons desirous oftesting the efficacy ofthese
