<Lbc fflailj City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST Cm CIRCULATION. AUOUBTA, OA.I SUN DAT MORNING Oei. 14. IMA The Colombia and Aogoita Rail road. A great deal ha* been said about this road of late, and on some two or occasions it has been before tho City Connctl, by its President, asking for s subscription on the part of the City. In another rohitnn we publish nn article on the subject, from the Columbia South Carolinian, and also the official report of the Railroad Committee of Council ou the Petition referred to. Our Columbia cotemporary is mis taken in two points. The amount of bonds asked for is SIOO,OOO, uot $130,- 000 ; and thia investment would, by an Act of tho Legislature, have* to be sanctioned by a vote ol the people of the City before the Couucil could effect it- And again, the City is not free from the effects of the war. Its losses were large, its outlays heavy, and numerous enter, prises commenced before the war, but not wholly paid for, have to be paid for now. In order to meet these expenses thus incurred, and new and unavoidable ones occurring, it was iouud impossible to aid this enterprise at this time. This will be seen by reference to the Report of the Committee, which we publish this morning. It was from no want of ap preciation of the importance of the road, that the asked for assistance was re fused; and we are not sure but that some arrangement may be effected yet. If it can, the City Council and the peo ple of Augusta will not refuse their aid. Indeed, they would be blind to their own interests if they had the ability, and yet refused to assist iu the completion ot thii work ; for it needs no extraordinary discrimination to discern the advantages which will accrue to onr City by its com pletion. It will greatly shorten the route of travel between the Southwest and the North, and thus attract trade and travel this way. It would opeu up new sources of trade for our City, and prevent the injurious effects which must certainly occur if the enterprise fails and certain others iu contemplation are completed. If the City lends its credit to the road, the bonds thus issued will, doubt less, he among the most valuable of its securities, because they will be based upou a work which must prove profitable to its stockholders, when completed, and popular with capitalists seeking investments in stocks of this character. It will be no argument, therefore, to say that the multiplicity of City Bonds issued will depreciate the credit of the City, and lessen the value of a!i its issues iu the market. It will, on the contrary, secure to them an ad ditional basis of sec iritv, which must improve the market value of all of them, by increasing the value of this particular issue. Siiil, while we fully appreciate the advantages to be derived by this com munity in a commercial and business point of view, bv the construction and early completion of this Road, we are well aware of tightness of the money market, and of the onerous burthen of taxation under which our people are laboring, to urge the adoption of any measures which may increase tbeir burthens, or involve the City, in finan cial embarrassments. As we have al ready said, however, the question is or.e for the City Council and the people to decide for themselves, and if they can so arrange as to give sufficient aid to the enterprise to ensure its completion, they will find the investment a profita ble one, and, we are confident, will not refuse that aid. “Tue Davis Family." —Under the above title, we notice that the Savannah Republican, and one or two other Southern papers, are giving currency to a letter, published originally in the Chicago Tribune, purporting to describe the habits, occupations, etc., of the refu freed household of our lamented ex- President. Interesting as it may be to our Southern people to know the cir cumstances of a family who belong es sentially to the South, and who are en titled to our adoption, we have no sym pathy with that Yankee, Jenkins, who pries into the private circle and reveals to the public eye incidents connected with any of its members, which are re hearsed simply to gratify an idle curi osity. There is something of the black guard and the villain about a writer who invades the holy privacy of a home, and introduces its ladies and children to tie criticism of * public whose chie passion is to urge that the father and honored head, shall be to the scaffold Hi the executioner. «e nepe that our exchanges will make a note of this. —Columbia South Carolinian. Those are our scutiments exactly. We fully agree with our Columbia cotemporary on this point, and are pleased that he has so plainly and forci bly expressed hi* opinion on it. Pkepakatiox or Cotton yob Mabket. We took occasion, it few days since, to suggest briefly the importance of taking more care in the picking, ginning, and packing of Cottou. It is largely owing to carelessness or indifference in the preparation of the staple lor market, that anticipated prices are not realized. Many thousands of pounds ure lost by the insecure manner in which Cottou is baled by many of our planters. I his carelessness is most singular, when it must he known that wastage is inevi table, and that bagging sells on the bale at one half its original cost. What folly, then, as a coteuiporary says, in planters to stint the use of bagging in properly protecting the bale of Cottun. And yet, for the want of such protection, loss is constantly ensuing in classifica tion and price. —Savannah Newt As Herald. Poetical Motto you Salmon. —“We are seve(r)n." Jamu Gahdnkh, fcso. —We had the pleasure, • day or two since, ol meeting up with our friend end respected ettiven, James Gardner, who, as onr renders al ready know, is about to leave thia State tor the North, where he takes a position as Vic-President ot the Carrington For warding and Kx press Company. Wo, in common with this community gener ally, will regret to part with him. His gentlemanly deportment, his urbanity, aod hi* editorial aoomplishmeuu, hare all won I r him the respect and friend ship of his fellow citiseus. There are few who do not remember the ease and dignity with which he presided over the columns of the Owntits/sswlid, and it was by his tact and judgment that was secured lor it a name and a power among the leading journals of the country. In his new location and business the Colonel will carry with him the best wishes of his fellow-citisens. The Columbia South Carolinian, in a notice of Col. Gardner’s association with the Carrington & Co.'s Agency, says: “Our former contemporary, Col. Jai- Gardner, of the Augusta Constitution alisl, has exchanged the sauctuui for the counting-room, and politics for mer chandise. We miss him; but he carries to his new position, the warmest wishes, the kindest sympathy, aud an earnest of success in the support of hosts ot friends. Associated, henceforth, as \ ic-President of Messrs. Carrington & Co.’s General Purchasing Ageucy, No. 30 Broadway, New York, he will be prepared to servo our people in a more practical way than ever, aud we cannot do better than com mend our readers to the explanatory ad vertisement which appears elsewhere- Citizens who desire mi agent in New York for the purchase of anything, great or small, cannot be more effectually or economically served, than by Col. Jas. Gardner, the high toned Georgian. Important. —We are informed by some of our farmers who have recently sold Cotton in Augusta, that a City Tax had to be paid upon all Cotton sold in the City. Other planters state that they hhve sold their Cotton recently in Augusta, without any demand for City tax being made. Now we would be greatly obliged to some Augusta friend if he will inform the people of Warren county as to the amount of City Ta-Ufs (if anv are exacted upon Cotton). It is apprehended by some of the planters of Warren, that a’ system of swindling in regard to this matter is being carried on by Cotton Factors, or somebody else, to a very considerable extent. — tbarren ton (Ga.) Clipjtcr. In answer to the above request, tor information, we will state that the tax on Cotton in this City is twenty-five cents on every one hundred dollars of gross sales. On every one hnndred dollars of the commissions of Comm s sion Merchants and Cotton Facto r s, there is a tax of three dollars. There is no Cotton Factor in Augusta, we feel justified in saying, who would knowingly swindle the good people of Warren county. Some parties may assume that business for unworthy motives, but they are not among the known Cottou Fac tors of Augusta. Letteh From a Colored Max.— The following letter from a colored man is published in the .Columbia South Ca rolinian. The a lithography is bad, but the sentiment is good, arid we therefore give it a place in our columns: Mr. ETiitor: I take the privileg of riting a few lines to say to yon that I saw yesterday a white lady walking with a man of my own color in our streets. She wore what you call a littin whoop and a big waterfal and I noo she wasn’t one ol our own people. I felt a disgust for her, but a good deal more for the colored nugp who put himself on an ekwalety with bier, becaus I noo it wasn't right. I wish to say to you that t.e old servants of our people though they know they arc free have not forgot ton there position, and wish to give them the respect which they are entitled to. School marm.s are welcome for the pur pose of teachin our children, but let them kep thare places. Please print this. Person al. —We had the pleasure of meeting on 11 roau street, yesterday, our former Captain in the C. S. A., Mitchell G. Hester, than whom no more gallant officer ever drew sword. During the Dalton campaign, the Captain received, J 1 his right wrist, a wound, which has per manently disabled him. Since tl|« close of the war, he has been faithfully work ing with ht3 own left arm, in order to the support of himself and his interest ing family. Last fall, he was one amongst the most active merchants of the Gate City, but at the present writing, he is connected with the house of O’Bannon & Bashaw, Commission, Produce, and Provision Merchants, 95 Main street, Louisville, Ky. Our best wishes attend the Captain. We had, also, the pleasure of grasping the hand of an esteemed collegiate lriend, Mr. James B. Duke, of Burke county, who was distinguished at Col fur his learning and eloquence, and, in the army, for his unwavering courage. He has turned his attention to the work of “tenchingjthe young idea bow to shoot," and farming, in both of which undertakings we wish him abundant success. Thf. Alarum. —The National Intclli gencer sounds the note ot warning. It says •“A project is on for the over throw of constitutional liberty in the United States. We charge the class of uartizan zealots, known as Radical . leaders, with compassing an early and violent overthrow of the Government. They know that this charge is.true. Jtechanfft. Hupp''sc President Johnson, or some other Conservative man, assumes the Dictatorship temporarily, uud crushes out this “class of partizan zealots?" What then ? Why Constitutional liberty could be re-established on a secure at,d lasting basis. Radicalism should not go too far. Its “vaulting ambition may o’erleap itself." That, however, is per haps, after all, no business of ours. Correspondence.

Gextlkmkn :—Your kind letter of the 9th inst., requesting the delivery by myself of a lecture iu this City on some topic connected with the literature of this State has to-day been handed me. Relying for a merciful judgement of my poor effort on that kind consideration prompting your request, it wili afford me pleasure to lecture at Masonic Hall, on Thursday, the 23th of this month, on ‘‘The Wits of Georgia”—using the term mils in its old Addisonian sense to desig nate those who have illustrated the State by an exercise of the lighter imagina tive talents. I am, gentlemen, Very respectfully yours, Salem Dutches. To Judge E. Starnes, Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, Col. Claiborne Snead, Wm. A. Walton, Esq., Judge John C. Suead, General LaFayette McLaws, Rev. Ar minius Wright, Kev. George Kramer, and others. One ok us in Augusta. —Business requires attention, and one of us, had the pleasure ol visiting the beautiful City of Augusta, on business matters, and we congratulate ourselves on the happy trip, but am nuhappy to state we did not get our free ticket from the Georgia Railroad Superintendent; how ever, 'hat lias been promised, and we hope to enjoy tho felicity of not letting our empty purse suffer the next time we go away from home. But that has nothing to do with Augusta. When we first arrived, of course wo went to a hotel, aud having been there before and accepted of Col. Geo. H. Jones’ hospi tality, we paid our respects to him, aud am fuily convinced of his kuowing how to keep a hotel (the Augusta we mean). The first night, we sauntered around to our brethren of the quill, to let them in form the community that the Clipper man was in town, and the young mar ried man of The Daily Dress (by the way, this is one of Augusta’s favorite newspapers now), had tho following say: “Editorial Call. —We were much pleased to meet iu our sane him, last evening, Mr. Henry S. Hill, one of the editors and proprietors of the Warrenton (Ga.) Clipper. Mr. Hill will call on our merchants to-day for the purpose of re ceiving their favors in the way of adver tisements lor his paper. Business men will find the Clipper to be an excellent medium for communicating with the country people.— Warrenton [Ga.) Clip per, Get. 10th. And we don’t intend to take it back either. “We repeat it, sir 1 We repeat itpi “The Clipper is an 1 excellent medium for communicating with the country people.” “ Advertise.— Advertisers are the men, says the Columbia South Caro lirUan, who now adays make the money.” “Without duo notice to the public, a stock of goods might lie and rot on the shelves, while ajudicious sys tem of making their presence known to the community, creates at once a ready demand. We are daily reminded by our merchants of the gratification they en joy from patronage due to advertising. No matter where a merchant may be— whether in his little establishment built up among the ruins or in the more ele gant edifices recently erected, people will seek him out when led-by that in evitable guide—the newspaper.” And we may add that The Daily Press, enjoyinga a Irge circulation, is a most valuable medium for making the wants of our people known. Let them advertise with us, and they will find the result profitable to them. A Brtee and Pointed Criticism.— The “Rockland Gazette ” in announcing the receipt of anew work, spoaks thus briefly and to the point: “We have re ceived a book entitled ‘Arabella, a Tale of Tenderness.' The author is a fool.” — Exchange. If the author of “Arabella,” gets after that fellej, he may takehis umbrella, and hitblm on “the smeller,” while he makes him yell, oh! Perhaps be was a little "mellerbut that- won’t do to tell, ah! Therefore let him slide 1 —The latest way to pop the question is to ask the lady if you shall see her to church. From tho Columbia South Carolinian, October IS. Augusta and Columbia. While tho people of Columbia are pursuing their voeatioua, mindful only of the direct iullueuces which conduce to present prosperity, and fascinated only by present means and ends, a great work, almost unkuowu to the mass, is going on just beyond our city limits; a great enterprise is in progress of com pletion. Wc refer to tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad. With a zeal that has not been abated by the destruction of war, and with energies that have not been paralyzed by the ruined condition of the country, its projectors have pushed forwsrd iu the face of difficulties until they begin to see their way clear t > the magnificent results which await the termination of thoir labors. The road bed has been nearly comple ted; a magnificent bridge is in course of construction near this city, and thou sands ot dollars are every month dis bursed to laborers who expend their earnings in our midst. In one year from to-day there is every probability that the irou horse will be performing its mission, and another great commercial link will bo established between Augus ta and Columbia. The powerful influence of such a direct line upon tho prosperity of these two cities is not a matter ot snrmise. Opening anew avenue of trade, new regions of supply, bringing us in more active relation with other centers of business, inviting capital, fostering en terprise, reducing freights, and creating healthy competition, from which both Georgia and South Carolina will deri' e substantial benefit, no sensible man can withhold . his support and sympathy from an undertaking so vital to our interests. Thus far, the Railroad Company have been enabled to carry their own bur dens, but hereafter they must have aid. A comparatively small amount is re quired—some one hundred aud fifty thousand dollars, we believe, and this has been asked for as an investment from the City of Augusta. Columbia, as is known, can do nothing. Many of her public-spirited citizens are already deeply interested, but the corporation of the city itself is not in a condition to employ its limited resources away from home. Augusta, on the other hand, has uot materially suffered. Her citizens can pay taxes ; her Council can transfer certain railroad bonds, already owned, without teeling the change, and thus really, without the outlay of a dollar, most valuable aid may be rendered in putting the Augusta aud Columbia rail* road beyond the power of any ordinary pecuniary contingency. We hope this assistance will be forthcoming. We know that the Georgians, always gene rous in public undertakings, feel no little interest in the success of the enter prise, and it is gratifying to observe that the press of our sister city are urging upon the Council the importance of granting the necessary aid. With the connection established, tha human mind cannot measure the com mercial prosperity that will be ex perienced. Although interior towns, Columbia and Augusta will enter upon a race for supremacy over even the cities by the sea—Savannah and Charleston. Manufactories will grow apace. The grain of the great West will come whirling into our midst; the products of the North will seek a resting-place in South Carolina and Georgia, aud wealth will fiow into the coffers of a people, whose energy has so plainly marked them as worthy to become it3 possessor. • • The Cordova Mexican Colony.— A number of reports have been pub lished in reference to the Confederate colony, at Cordova, Mexico, going to show that the colonists were dissatisfied with their location and condition, that they were anything but comfortable and satisfied and were anxious to retnrn to the United States. The following au thorative statement of one who has been with the colony, will set the Report at rest, and gratify the friends of those settled in that far-off country, to know that they are doing well and are satis lied : “We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday, says the New Orleans Pica yune of the 6th, a gentleman, recently returned from Cordova, Mexico, where since the close of the war, he has been engaged in business. He fells us that all the colonists are well, with the ex ception of Gen. Price, who has been down with a severe fit of sickness, but when our friend left he was convalescent. The rest of the colony, and the employ ees on the railroad were in excellent health. Their crops, morever, are good and promise large returns. Many of the colonists will make a great deal of money. Their superior knowledge aud tact have enabled them to realize largely from the peculiar labor and cultivation of Mexico. So satisfied are the colo nists who remain in the country with their prospects that none of them think of returning to this country. They receive their supplies principally from this port.” The Milledgevili.k Railroad.— The Warrenton (i a.) Clipper, of the 11th instant (by the way, a lively, go ahead little paper, up the Road), in alluding to the Milledgeville Railroad, says of its new President: “ Mr Heard Is a gentleman of ability and great energy, and he has assured the Directors that the Road shall be built immediately. The train went out yesterday morning to bring Mr. Heard from Camack; he is already on the “war path,” and we may expect to see dirt fly soon. —The poet, Campbell, who used a poor razor, said that a man who lived to bo sixty, had suffered more pains in shaving than a woman with ala family ever endured.
