8IXTH SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
Of the Engineer of the Central Hail Road and Bank

rectors and Stockholders.

To W.W. (Jordon. Esq., President.
Sin—In making the present semi-annual re
port of tlm operation* of this department, and tiro
condition of the work under its charge, 1 take
great pleasure in nimouiiciug to the Stockhold
ers, the final end complete location of the road
to the Oomnlgee river ut Mncou. This work has
beep one of great labor, and has occupied the
time and eiertiou of u party ol' Kiigincurs who
have been euguged in the special am ice for near
ly fonr years. The complex topography of the
country through which the upper portion of the
lino rune, and ihe various routes that presented
clains to an examination, have rendered these
protracted and laborious surveys iudi-peusable.
fonr different routes have been surveyed be-
tween the Oconee aud Ocuiulgee Rivers; nud
each successive survey hns shown u line improv
ed on the previous one; and it is confidently be
lieved we liavu at length selected uue thut could
Mi -bu iuiich further improved. -We have been
aUeto keejl <mr planes within the maximum in-
• duration of 30 feet per mile, and have no curves

aid of the pick or even the plough. Fine

hinted Ynr.uu ftealict, would otherwise have been
taken os tlm high water mark and that did not
■roach ihe height of this lost flood, by nearly five
feet, at that point.
Having thus passed die Ocnnen river, wc find
ourselves near the mouth of Commissioner's
Creek, which discharges itseUluto the river about
a mile nud a half below our line; about four
miles Irnni the river, the line crosses to tho South
side uf tho Creek, and follows its valley fur the
dWlanco of twenty-six miles i then leaving it, we
pass with a out of tliirty-oiie fust (which is tho
highest poittUtfhtud tlm toad crosses,being about
Wit) feel above lido witter) into it "prong or Dig
Handy Creak—following this stream, with a des
cending grade, about two mite*, we cross it,
and take another hnuicli of the same creok,
which wo keep fur about the same disunion;
thence across the in tin branch of Sandy
Creek; by a small branch we ascend to the
summit between lira Oconee and Ocmidgeo
Rivers—here we have a short cut of thirty-
twu feot depth at tho highest point; falling into a
branch of Swift Creek, which wo follow a imloand
a half.Uien cross the main creekputd takiug another
branch of Swift Creok, we reach Doggy branch,
which lends us to thn valley of the Ocmulgce.
iu crossing from Swift Creek to Doggy branch,
wu encounter thn deepest cutting on tho line,
which ut its grunicst depth is forty-oua leut. Af
ter reaching the river valley, about thraii miles.
LaUnv Uw» City %»f Mtw.on,Ave Vwrjvvifoug the low’
groundi*, mid cuter the river swump near the
•real iimitml; lira line crosses tho river, about
iiilfn mile below the bridge, nud terminates on
the flats at the foot of Cheriy Street ill Mat-oil,—
the whole distance from this cilvbeing Ilk) miles,
3900 feet.
In tho event of terminating the road on the
East side of the river, we should deflect by n
curve to the right, commencing near lira mound;
mid run nlong parallel witli the river, to snchspol
ns might be s-lecled for n depot.
For a distance of 25 miles from tlm Oconee
Swamp. Ihe work is for the most part light, witli
occasional short ruts and fills; tlm remainder of
the distance about 16 miles is rather heavy, com
pared with other parts of the line. I have taken
lira precaution to have wells dog in tlm principal
cut*, to ascertain the quniity of the material to be
lobe excavated, and find it of the most favora
ble character. The cilia are composed of a mix
ture uf satul and clay, easily removed by lira
shovel.
On the subject of the termination of lira rood at
Mncon I am of npiuinii that the interest of the
Company, nud mure especially that of tlm City of
Mncon, would bo best promoted by crossing the
liver.
It appears to me that the free nod constant in-
UiCoilise who'll will necessarily he kept up by
the business community, with the Depot, requires
the removal, ns for ns possible, of every obstacle
ro such intercourse; and that the intervention of
the river, wunld he. in some degree, a hindrance
m die transaction of business; but more especial
ly in the e.vent of the destruction of the picsent
bridge by fire or otherwise. .Should tlm road he
carried across the river, the bridge would of
course be so constructed as to be used exclusive
ly for the passage of the trains, nud would there
fore be no injury to the present one, iu the
matter of travel. ’There will be no difficulty in
selecting a (avorable site for a Depot in either
case. The additional expense to lira Company
by crossing, will lie about $30,000.
The grading of the wlmle of ihe line not under
contract is advertised for letting at Alilledgeville,
ou tlie JUh day of next monih; and I flatter myself
tlistwe shall have no [difficulty in putting it under
contract: should this be done I think we shall he
able to reach Macon witli lira superstructure by
1st January, 1843.
The work has progressed steadily on the grad
ing contracts for the Inst six months ; the total
distance graded is now about 143 miles and the
superstructure is completed 1*26 miles.
The *2000 tons of Iron last ordered, lias all been
received, and will be sufficient to extend die
tract to tho distance of 139 miles. Our trains
are nmv rmutiaa- ragutarlv to Hardwick'«~l!£l

wutcra of contention.
fJICP Wo publish to-day lira lucid, able nud sat*
iifuctnry Report of L. O. Reynolds, Esq. Chief
Engineer of thn Snvnimnh and Mncon Rail Rond.
We cotnutcud U to the attention of our readers
for and near. Wo do not notice its content* par
ticularly at this time, ns we propose ere long to
take up the suiiject at length. In speaking of
this great work heronftcr we shnll stylo it tlm Sa-
xnnutvh and Mncon instead of lira Csatrai Rail
Hoad, ns the former denomination is much more
significant tlioti Uto latter, which docs not convey
to people at a distance any idea of the exact po
sition of the ltond.
KT We furnish to our reader* this morning
the petition oi the cilixens of Chnthnm, for
Registry Law. We doubt not that nil citizens
of both pnrtieswill unite iu the application fora
W which to AnKi.il.hi citizens their le
gal right*, which is calculated to substitute order
and pence for disorder nud violence, as well as to
prevent the horrid critno of perjury. All good
citizens of this city are alike interested iu the pas
sage ol a Registry Act. Rut let it not ha in irai’
tatiotinf tlm New Yoik Registry Law which
leaves the door open to the introduction of false
swearing and fraud. Such nu net to bisbetrafi'
cial should require voters to register their names
at least two or three months before lira time of
election. This plan gives to nil qualified voters
equal rights, and the excitement of n pending
election would not in tlmUevout come to the aid
of those who might wish to avail tlinmselves of
the votes ofn transient floating population. We
take tlm liberty of dropping this hint to thoso
who may not have thought oil this subject.
Persons desirous of signing tlm petition can
find a copy at lira Georgian Olfice Reading
Room, and at Col. Williams' Dnok Store.
tTTIra Dill for the Court of Errors hns been
lost in the Georgia Legislature. The establish-
wrantofthU Gown is demanded by the Constitu
tion of the State. We notice lira fact of it* fail
ure iu order to record our solemn disapproba
tion of the course of tlm Legislature—a course
nut sanctioned by the Constitution, by rensoii
justice. The names of those who have voted a-
gainst it should be remembered, let them belong
to what political party they may. They hove
been unfaithful to the honor and true interests of
their State, umi nil intelligent men will fix the
seal of strong censure upon such narrow legisla
tion.

Tlm average distance in operation, duiing the
post year being about one hundred nml ten mile*
—lira cost of repair* has therefore been about one
hundred dollar* trar mile.
The opinion lias generally prevailed, that a
railroad, to be profitable to its stockholders, must
Imvc u large niimiiut of travel—that the only
source of profit is lira transportation of pa-seti-
gers, nud that n* a general rule, the freighting of
heavy commodities, yields little or no profit to the
Company.
The 4-xperience thn* far, on our road, demon
strates in the most satisfactory manner, the error
of this opinion.—It will he perceived by the a-
hove statement, dial our freighting business ha*
more that) doubled the amount of Unit of passen
ger*, and mail—and this ha* been done under tbe
disadvantage of having but uuu train, for both
purposes, consequently keeping up a speed alto
gether too great for lira most advantageous trans
portation nf freight. I ha \« no doubt that freight
ran separtely from lira passenger trains, with lull
load*, und at a velocity not exceeding ten mile*
per hour, would yield as much profit per trip, to IM,n '
lira Company, as passenger trains currying 50
passengers each way.
The present termiun* of our road, is by (he
wagon route 70 miles from the City of Macon.
Notwithstanding this long portage over a bad
road, wo have liail, during the present season,
nearly all freight for that city. There has been
an average of 200 waggon*, running during the
last three months to und from the depot. / am
confident thut die merchants will find it to their
advantage to abandon altogether the steamboat
business, on the Oconee und Ocuiulgee Rivers,
OliV machinery and motive power department,
is now oscmnplutu us tho necessities of tlm road
require. 8nice my last Report, u locomotive
Engine, from tlm manufactory of Messrs Rogers,
Ketidiimi & Grosveunr (the Oconee) has been
added to our motive power, making our whole
number right. The superstructure of the road
continues tb maintain iu grade and nliigument,
aud the small amount expended in repairs, ns be
fore stated, hns Kept it in good repair. .Some of
the timbers first laid on the lower portion of the
line, have decayed, uud we have, during the past
year replaced them. Contract* have been made
for tho delivery of timber, at different point*, along
the oldest part* of the road, for the occasional re-
newul of such pieces ns mny he decayed.
Tho operation* of tlm mad have thn* for been
conducted icithout the occurrence of a single acci
dent resulting in personal injury to any one.
Should we succeed iu letting the grading, a*
we have reason to expect we shall, on the 5th of
December, we shall he able to complete the rend,
without receiving aid from’abroad in the way of
pecuniary means It will ho a subject of just
pride to the friends of the institution should mi
undertaking of such magnitude bo curried through
with llrair own resources, unaided by foreign cap
ital. I lake pleasure ill congratulating them on

FEDERALISTS.
This term is constantly applied to the Whig
party of tlm United States, by the editors of the
Washington Globe as one of reproach, and ill
Virginia it is ns constantly fastened upon tlm Ad
ministration. Which party will ultimately get
the Irast of it remains to be seen. From present
appearance*, the A<tmim*trnti<m will get foe
worst of tlm battle, because the Whig* being al
most the whole people, they of cour*e can will
llii* matter as they please.
For ourselves, wc are perfectly willing to let
them wear the faded laurels of democracy if it is
any gratification to them, but we pretest against
the deeds of the last twelve years going down to
posterity under that name. Not that the mere
name can note affect any tiling, lint that such a
course would have foe effect of changing by as-
mtetude the defiimtion of n long established word.
Democracy In one meaning of tlm term, ex
presses the majority, becanse there can lie no de
mocracy iu the minority. *A democratic govern
ment in it* primitive meaning, is one iu which
the people rule in person and without delegated
authority,and where the majority always governs.
Now, if foe minority in these primary and primi
tive assemblies, may claim to be the democracy,
there i* an end at auce of such government, for
its fundamental feature is the submission of tlm
few to tlm many. It i* true, the minority tuny
secede nud set up for theuisulves, bill this is a re
volution, it is not democracy. Iftlmy, the few,
remain members of the same community, of
course they must submit to be ruled by tho tnajo-
rity, and font very nnbinission surrenders up their
title to be called the democracy par excellence, for
they are not the people, nor the representatives
of the people, but a few malcontents who c.nnnot
agree with the people. They are a part of tho
whole people, hilt not the greater part—n part
cauuot be greater than Urn whole—a
ily even in a Republic cannot characterise thnt re
public, nor ran a defeated minority claim to he
that which it requires tlm grentest numbers to ex
press. Wr.Bitxn sir s, that a democracy i* n
government where the people legislate in per
Now, how can the minority legislate I
Have they the jure ditino of the veto—inherited
from the *• greatest and best" t Can they veto
whut the majority nay 7
Wo know that the minority Iinve rights. God
forbid that we of the South should ever deny it
but democracy i* not one of them. A party tnny
claim to he tlm democracy until they nro defeat,
pd.lnrt after font foey can no more claim to lie
the democracy than they cun pretend to he foe
victors.
Dut this U not a democracy nt all, it U just tlm
reverse, it is a representative government.—
What then did Mr. Jxrrxrisox mean by calling
his party the democracy 7 Why he meant (by a
sort of political fiction) thut dm people should ap
proach their representatives n* near a* possible—
dial their voice should be omnipotent, and though
not in the democratic assembly expressed, yet as
effectually done ns if done by themselves in per
son ; blit be never perpetrated the absurdity of
claiming fora very small minority to bo tlm demo
cracy, lie know better. Now a small and exclu
sive set, may claim to he the aristocracy ofa
country, for that i* exactly the reverse of demo,
ctacy, and that very nntithic.il position of the
two word* illustrates most fully foe absurdity ofa
small aud defeated faction cluitning to be tho de
mocracy. There is but one more point left them
—it is this; sometimes n great election leaves tlm
parties so nearly balanced, that each cluiui tho
victory, cud the vanquished often pretend that
temporary accident alone produced Uie result,
and that they are and will prove to Im tho major
ity. Is such the case with Mr. Van Buiikn's
little teeny democracy. Since the world began
there never was mjcIi a defeat before a whole na-
PETITION.

The undersigned, citizens of the County of

Tbe safeguard nfour Institutions consists iu the
purity of the elective franchise. As the end
sought by its exercise is to ascertain the will of a
majority nf those wham alone foe Constitution
recognizes as the sirereignty; so whatever tends
to defeat this result is hostile to the Constitution
and subversive of the highest privilege of citizen
ship.
Experience has proved that, iu closely settled
districts, the sanctions which the law* have thrown
around this right, are insufficient for its due pro
tection; nnd especially is this true of sea-port*,
where, from the ense of accuse, nianv who are not
entitled to vote, are assembled, and umv, if so
disposed, with little fear of detection and punish
ment, commit gross frauds upon the rights of
qualified electors. Accordingly, a measure simi
lar to that prayed for, has been found necessary
in many of our sister citie*, aud has been attend
ed with signal success. It interferes with no
constitutional provision; it introduces no now
qtinlifientiuns—it seeks only to guard a sacred
right, by stibjecliiig those qualifications to more
rigid scrutiny. Among iu benefits, not the leust
is tho prevention of the crime of perjury; the
temptations to which, in many cases, arc too
strong to he counteracted by the system now in
force. This foct alone would be conclusive of
its utility.
From local position, our elections ore peculiar-

The city of Savannah bus, in und near it, several
great public works; it is n sea-port witli a Jurgi
and increasing coasting nnd foreign trade: it is
the commercial capital of un extensive region;
nnd it is the terminating point of n Rail Road
which traverses a populous portion of the Slate:
all which causes, with others unnecessary to be
specified, collect within its limits n multitude o f
strangers, throw open the door to illegnl voting
and perjury, render it impossible to arrive at the
general will through the ballot box, nnd in cases
of close elections, mny thrust upon the citizens
men aud measures, not approved by n majority.
Impressed with the conviction font a Rkgis-
Tity Law furnishes the only remedy for these
evils, the undersigned solicit tho early attention
ofihe Legislature to the subject; nnd do enrne*t-
pray for tlm establishment of such a system as
shall in future effectually secure to the citizens
of Chatham County nnd ortho City and Hamlets
of Savannah, the enjoyment of tlioir legal rights.

From 7 to 9 o’clock, our streets presented tho

streets, rockets and other fire works. There
was also a continued roar of cannon, together
with strains of martial music. Tho scene was
truly grand nud sublime—such ns onr city never

When tho two houses adjourned their morning
seisiun yesterday, they did so to meet at 3 P, M.
to tvrreuse foe funeral cetemauloi uf fon Hon.
Senator from Walkor, wlm expired in tho morn*
lug. Thnt being dona both houses adjourned till
thi* morning.
In the llottso yesterday after nty latter was
closed the tiniu was pretty much occupied In
reading Dills a second and third lime.
A* I anticipated yesterday the voto in tho 8n-
nnto on tho Court Dill was decisive of its fttte—
on a motion to reconsider the question this morn
ing, foe motion after some discussion was decided
by 52 nny* to 30 yens.
In the,House tins morning, after tho call oftho
counties during which tunny unimportant and
local bills were introduced, foe special order of
tho day, being thn Resolutions of Mr. Flournoy,
orWnshingtoniOii the Sub-Treasury, Ac., came
up fommshiumtUm.nml foe Hon, nmv or bus,
while 1 write, the floor, and is making a bold and
able defence ofliis resolutions, nnd ill opposition
to tho 4 8tib-Troasiiry. Where'er when tho dis-
cuMtcm wilt end, will depend entirely ou the
fooling oftho IIou«e. It is not Improbable thnt
they tuny go off on motion to lay them on tho tablo
for the remainder ofllte session, simply becaitso
a majority nfthu representatives nro unwilling
to consume the time uf the country in the discus
sion of the resolutions under consideration.
Every day's observation confirms the impres
sion which I entertained at un early day nflhe
session, that little will ho dnn»of general Impor
tance by thn present Legislature, und I conlhsa
that this opioiiion hit* been greatly strength
ened by the action of the Senate on the Court
Dill.
On theRuhiect of the resumption of specie pay
ments, tho indications nt present are that the
hanks will not bo required to resume before the
first of February next, if then. And strange a*
mny seem, it is lint improbable that thn sell-atyl-
rd Democratic party'will make nil effort to stave it
off* oven turn more distant duy, in order to pro
tect their party aud its bantling, (the Central
.Bunk) from the indignation of thepeonle.
this question a fow days will show what \
they will take, upon tiiis important nud engross
ing subject. J*
NOV EMBER 19.
In a previous letter I expressed the opinion
thnt there wns u disposition apparent among the
apparition or Van Duran members to stave off
Ihe resumption of specie pnyments beyond {he
1st of February next. The event* of every day,
and I might utmost add of every hour, confirm
foe justice of the opinion and develope addition
al proof that there is a powerful additional influ
ence lobe brought to hear upon the Legislature
on this question, no less powerful an influence
than some ofihe Banks themselves, whoso vitali
ty may probably he jeoparded by requiring a re
turn to specie payment* ut that day. The coun
try need not therefore he disappointed (mark the
prediction,) if the Legislature should extend the
time nf resumption till the coming in of foe next
crop. It is true thut the feelings of both houses
have not been sufficiently developed to justify the
nsserliou tlm! such wilfbo tho result, hut when
wn reflect upon thn powerful influence* which
are to he brought into requitition to produco it,
the preHitmption is not extravagant, that it will
be accomplished,
Tbe time of foe Rennie yesterday wns pretty
much consumed in the reading of Dills, the 2nd
nud 3rd time. This morning they re-considered
the vote nf yesterday refusing the pardon of
Jntues Hunter of Chattooga and passed foe Dili,
The Dill contemplating that all election* by the
Log i*la tu re slionId be rim race cnmo up ibis morn
ing ou its final nnssngo and wns lout.
The timeorthe House yesterday was consum
ed in tho consideration and discussion ofihe Res
olutions nnd amendment* thereto of Mr. Flour
noy of Washington, and tho House adjourned
without coming to any decision.
Tfii* inouing nfter rending the Journals, tlm
House proceeded to tlm unfinished bu*iue*« of
yesierday.lmiug tho Resolution* of Mr. Flournoy
of Wnriiington. And alter an additional amend
ment, the previous question wns united; and beifis
lost, the further discussion uf the subject couli
not be proceeded in this day.
Some little exeitement and a short but anima
ted debate occurred tit foe House this morning,
on the reception of a message from the Governor
in relation to alleged frauds in tho late election
in Bumpier county. The debate arose on foe
question of reference to n Special or the Election
Committee, which resulted in the selection of the
former.
The Bill for the repeal of tho Inw making nil
nnnual appropriation of GU00 dollars to Franklin
College being the special order of the day, for
this day iu the House, is now under considera
tion and i* calling forth and will no doubt contin
ue to elicitnn animated and highly interesting de
bate, that will continue beyond'foe time when
thi* communication must close. As this is nil
important and highly interesting question, in
volving iu short, uotiung less than tlm destruction
ofihe State Institution os its friend* alledge, n
question in which every Georgian of whatever
grade or condition, must or should feel ndeep in
terest, I shall take occasion in a subsequent
communication to spread thu matter before your
renders, exhibiting tlm true merit* nf this hill, nud
the object of sonic of it* friends; when I feel con
fident the great mass of the people of Georgia,
will frown indignantly upon those who are seek
ing tlm destruction nfnii institution which has re
ceived foe fostering earn of tlm State of Georgia
from the moment that tlm Constiiutioneinannted

Mints for Rail levy Travellers.—1 .Ifyou love
comfort uud safety, never travel by night.
2. Always arrive nt the depot at least twenty
minutes before tbe time. You can then choose
your seat, and mnko nt leisure, any other arrange
ments thut mny be necessary.
3. Occupy the seat neat the centre af the cen
tre division uf the centra cur nf foe train. The
motion i* less in thut situation; und you cannot
thrust your head or arms out of thn window.
Besides, if tho car is capsized, orotheiwisede-
uiolifoed, you will not fie vo-liafilato be.cuLbyihe
gin**, mid it is not quite certain thutyou will bo
literally smashed to pieces."
4. Never go by tlicfirst morning train, when
there is n second. If there i* any nbstriition—or
ifuny embankment hns been wurited nwny in foe
nlglit, the first train will discover it, perhaps to it*
sorrow.
6. Never quit your sent, or car, when making n
temporary stop,unless it is absolutely necessary—
for tho engineer wail* for no man—and a person
seldom look* so awkward or feel* so foolish, u*
when chasing n railroad train.
0. Never get in or get out of Urn cur* while foo
train i* in motion, however slow.
7. Never smoke, or chew tobacco, or sleep in
tlie cars.
8. As the first notice yon have of tlie train's run
ning off the track, or coming into a collision with
mmihi-r train of cars, throw yourself suddenly
into n heap, resembling ns much a* possible it
sphere—curtail your legs nud arms, instead of ox.
tending them, ns is loo often the case—und await
with patience mid philosophy the result. It is,
however, often the case that die effect treads
closely on ihecnttse, thnt no time is foil to assume
nn attitude, therefore it mny bn advisablo to bo
prepared for the worst Hie whole time, albeit forf
posture mny bo somewhat inconvenient.
Wherever vVhiggery fltmr'whes, its ally, Abo
