New Yoke, September 6.—Pleas* to
taka nolieo that Mr. D. 11. Crain ka»
been diacharpt-d from the General
Agency M Ihe New York Associated
Free*, by thn unanimous rote ot the
members, M. Jos. W. Simslon has

attention will be giseu to his dispatches

Jos. P. Beach, of N. Y. Sun, Sec’y.
REPLT or O. H. CRAIG.
To all Editors and Agents of the As
sociated Press:
New Yore, November 5.—1 have
read the notice sent over the wires this
evening, signed by Messrs. Prime and
Beach, and pronounce its assertions
utterly aud infamously false. I have
not bean discharged unaniroonsly, nor
at all. My responsibility is to the Ex
ecutive Committee, aud to them only,
and they have not and will not unite in
the lying assertions of Prime and Beach.
It is true, I have tor some weeks past
headed a movement here to remodel and
improve our Association, as you will
learn from my printed circular, now on
its way to you, and it is also true that
all these arrangements are complete,
and will go into effect next Monday.
My resignation has been in the hands of
the Executive Committee for several
weeks, and whether accepted or not, I
should have retired ut the end ot this
week, nt which time I have good reason
to believe, every Ageut or Reporter of
the Association will earnestly cooperate
in tbe new movement, which 1 assure
you, is started with the most ample
backers, and its results will largely pro
mote the interests of all the papers out
side of the city, and I shall confidently
hope for your earnest approval.
(Sjgned.) 1). H. Craig,
Gen’l Agent N. Y. Ass’d Press.
We find the above in the Chronicle
<£• Sentinel of yesterday morning, but
not in the Constitutionalist, Why it
was published in one, and not in the
other, we are at n loss to know. Per
haps it is none of our business—
perhaps it is of no consequence, as the
facetious Toots would say. But when
the President of the Associated Press
telegraphs to its agents and correspond
ents that Mr. D. H. Craig has been
discharged from the General Agency
of the institution, by the unanimous vote
of the members , we cannot resist the
inclination to ask our city cotemporarics
if they voted on thnt subject? Os
coarse, as they arc members of the
Associated Press, and the vote was
unanimous, they must have voted, or
else they have been treated very shab
bily by the New York members of the
Association, which undertook so impor
tant a move without consulting their
“ Southern patrons,” and, we beg leave
to tender them our sympathies for this
evident slight.
Let that pass, however. The New
York Associated Press, of which Mr.
Craig was the General Agent, has
removed that gentleman, and it is proba
ble that this step was taken because of
his course toward Southern papers,
cutting off, by urgent conscriptive policy,
no little revenue from the Association.
It is very evident thst the more custo
mers the Association has the greater
will be its profits, and consequently, the
greater its facilities for supplying its
own members and its customers with
news. Any policy, therefore, which
presents an increase of customers, must
be detrimental to its interests and
unsatisfactory to its members.
It is true Mr. Craig denies his expul
sion trom office ; but the character of
the gentlemen who sent the first dis
patch, and the official nature of the dis
patch, warrant the belief that their
statement is the correct one. And this
view, it appears to us, is corroborated
by the statement ol Mr. Craig, that he
had scut in his resignation to ibe Ex
ecutive Committee some weeks ago,
having in view anew movement, in
which he believes that every Agent aud
Reporter of the Association will co
-o|>crate. But whether he is expelled or
resigns, it is sufficient to know that he is
no longer the General Agent of the As
sociated Press s and those papers which
have been excluded from the benefits of
that Association may now have reason
to hope for a change of policy, for a
more just, liberal, and enlightened pol
icy.
We have been excluded from the ad
vantages of the Association, as our read
ers know; and it is unnecessary to recount
the means here by which this has been
done. We will simply add that we have
not been idle since. In fact, we have
been iming no little energy to secure
telegraphic news for our paper, and will
not give up the effort until we do suc
ceed. After the General Agenl had de
cided against us, we applied, in writing,
to the Agent in this city, to furnish us,
as a merchant, with the dispatches which
he supplies to his mercantile customers,
which dispatches come to him in cypher,
and are not a part of the Associated
l’ress news. We informed him that we
did not want them until 9 o’clock at
night, at u time when they could not be
used to the injury of the mercantile in
terest ; that we would pledge Ourselves
not to take any advantage of them with
the daily papers, and would, therefore,
not give them publicity only in our
morning edition, and that we would give
security, if required and pay for them
in advance. We thought that this was
a very fair and liberal offer; but Mr.
Walsh, fur some reason, refused to give
us the dispatches, and has not furnished
ns with any satisfactory reason for such
refusal, thereby doing us, a.i we think,
great injustice.
Wc huve no desire to renew a conlro
»:ray which was unpleasant to us ; but
tbit much we have fell it necessary, in
justice to ourself to say. We desired
earnestly to establish the best of feeling
with our city cotemporarics ; but were
met with opposition aud unkiudness from
them at the start. Against their injus
tice we felt called upon to protest. But
as we have said, we have no Intention
to renew the unphtesant controversy.
We desire to coOperßle with them lor
the beet interests of our city, end we
should say or do nothing to disturb the
harmony and good feeling which ought
to exist between the papers of » com
munity. There is certainty room enough
for all; and in 'advocating and promo
ting the interests of the community of
the State and of the South, there' is
enough for all to do, without engaging
in unpleasant and unprofitable discus
sions. Our only excuse, therefore, for
this deviation from our policy And prin
ciples is the occasion which ca led forth
these observations. The change in the
General Agency of the Associated Press
is an important movement,, and gives
us reason to hope that there will also be
a change of policy; and that all the
papers of the country who are willing
to pay for the dispatches can get them.
Then the Daily Press will be placed
upon an equality with its older and
more favored cotemporaries, aud our
readers have all the advantages which
the telegraphic news can give.
The Columbia and Augusta Bail
road.
We published, in our issue of yester
day, a “ Report of the Proceedings of
the Stockholders of the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad Company, nt their
Annual Convention held in Columbia,
S. C., Thursday, Nov. Ist, 18C6.” This
morning we publish the proclamation of
His Honor, Mayor Foster, ordering an
election to take the sense of the com
munity in regard to a subscription, on
the part of the City, to the Capital Stock
of that Company. Both of these docu
ments are import,.ut, and should com.
rnand the attention of our citizens. The
work is an important one, involving a
considerable share of the commercial
interest and prosperity of the City. If,
after, a careful examination of the whole
subject, our people feel that they can
assume this additional responsibility
upon themselves, it will be their duty to
vote for “subscription,” and thus secure
the completion of the road to this point.
We should have preferred a loan by
the City of its credit to the road, if it
were possible, as being the most secure
mode of assisting it; out as this could
not be done, our City fathers, in
their wisdom have thought best to sub
mit the question of “subscription” or “no
subscription” to its capital stock directly
to the people. With this object in view
they have appointed the third Monday
in November instant as a day of elec
tion to ascertain tbe sense of the people
in regard to the subject, and affixing
certain conditions to the subscription,
should it be decided by the popular vote
to subscribe. These conditions are, that
the Road shall cross the Savnnnah
river into this City; that its machine
shops, and freight and passenger depots
shall be located in this city, that its
property shall be taxed as other proper
ty, and that the Mayor of this City shall
be, ex officio, one of the Directors of
the Company. These are wise provis
ions, and not too exacting. The sub
scription asked for is a large one, and
will, we are assured, secure the comple.
tion of the Road ; while the conditions
are easy, aud will, no doubt, be ac
cepted.
While examining into this subject,
the people will have to consider the
financial condition of the City, the
necessarily heavy taxation already im
posed upon them, and the liability
clause of the Company’s charter, pub
lished in connection with the Resolution
of the City Council. These are serious
and important considerations; but the
question arises, whether or not the
advantages to be gained by the com
pletion of the road to this point will not
more than counter balance these seem
ing disadvantages? We think they will.
The route to the North will be greatly
shortened, and the time thus consider
ably lessened between the Southwest and
the North, thus inducing trade and
travel to come this way. In fact, there
is no railroad which terminates at a
given point but must benefit that point.
It roust, in the increase of trade and the
facilities for trade, increase the value of
real estate, and so increase the re
sources of taxation, thus rendering it
less burthensome to the individual tax
payers.
It should, also, be taken info consid
eration that, other roads are in contem
plation which will cut our City off
entirely fromthc great route of Northern
and Southern travel, unless this link is
speedily completed. By the completion
of this Road and the Milledgeville Road,
and the Mobile and Girard Road, the
route and time between New Orleans
and New York will be so much lessened
as to defy competition. The routes and
time to Montgomery and the West will
also be considerably shortened, and
travel induced by this line.
We have been informed that the
charter, an extract of which is pnblished
in our official column this morning, was
never accepted by the Company; and it
is not doubted that the liability clause
thus published will be repealed by the
present Legislature.
It is as wc have said, an important
subject, and we feel that it is tho duty of
every voter to examine it carefully, and
vote according to bis best judgment.
A great interest of the City is involved
in its settlement, and it behooves every
one to act with prudence and caution.
We believe that the Road ought to be
built, and that Cither the City Council,
or private individuals, ought to aid in its
completion. Still, we wish every citizen
to act for himself mid for the good of
th* community, For this reason we
have stated the question plainly, And
advised a calm and full investi
gation of it. And, in conclusion, we
earnestly suggest a full vote on the day
of the proposed election so that there
may be mr doubt as to the sense of the
community in regard to the action of the
City Council.

Special Correspondence Daily Press.
From Milledgeville.
Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 5, 1866.
Editor Daily Press: Thanks to
Col. Frobe!, State Engineer, the Capitol
has been put in very creditable order.
The roof no longer lets in the rain like
a sieve, and in either Hall the once
prevalent dinginess has given place to a
refreshing degree of light and airiness—
the woodwork having been painted a
glossV white, tipped off with gold; the
walls tintei. a faint pink, and the win
dow-shutters a very light straw. Above
the Speaker’s chair, in the House, is a
full-length portrait of old Andrew Jack
son, in the full glories of his New
Orleans uniform, leaning upon his
sabre, and looking heroically sour on the
beholder. Once the portrait of Gen.
Janies Jackson, who so strongly upheld
the civil authority in the affair of the
Yazoo fraud, occupied this post of
honor, but, as if to typify the present
reign of the sword, the soldier has been
promoted to the statesman’s place. To
the right and left, old Hickory is flanked
by Franklin and LaFayctte. In the
Senate, Col. Gibson’s chair has on
either side full-length portraits of Wash
ington and Jefferson. Along the west
wall are ranged like portraitures oi
Troup—the first Governor of Georgia
elected by tho people, the Legislature
having, prior to 1824, that selection—
and James Jackson, above mentioned.
The opposite wall has, in loving unison,
Clark and Crawford, cheek by jowl, ns
though they had never been at sword’s
points during life—Clark cleaving to
the Federalists and Crawford to the
then Republican party, an antagonism
whith led, in 1804, to a duel, in which
Clurk shot Cniwlbrd iti tho .vrist. On
tbe opening duy the desks of presiding
officers iii either house wore decorated
with wreathes and bouquets of many
tinted flowers—to one wheroof, with an
eye, doubtless, to the (un)Consfitutional
Amendment, was appended a slip vT]
paper bearing upon it, in delicate chi.
rography, the admonition, “ Don't bend
to the Yankees I" At first, there was
but a bare quorum, but now there are
only a very few vacant seats in the
House, and hardly any in the Senate,
beyond that which should be occupied
by Hon. C. A. Smith (Bill Arp), tempo
rarily detained at home. So far, of
course, there has been no legislation,
but signs iudicate, to some extent, the
probuble action of the session. A joint
special committee had the, so-called,
Constitutional Amendment entrusted to
its tender care to-day, and will, beyond
peradventure, return in the shortest
possible time, that precious bantling of
iniquity to its fathers, with the label on
its back, “ Not Wanted.’ 1 Speaking o|
this Amendment, it may be stated that it
is understood quite a number of promi
nent men throughout the Slate have
written here in advocacy of its adoption.
One name in particular might be men
tioned, but is withheld in hopes the
gentleman will get over his twitter in
good time. Every man has, of course,
a right to his opinion, but, as a matter
of interest, the people might like to
know, and perhaps will know, the names
of these swift runners of the reconstruc
tion race.
A bill to abolish the County Court:
and providing no substitute, has been
introduced, but it is not thought so
suicidal a measure will pass. The
chief opposition comes from counties
that, as having only a limited freedman
population, cannot properly set off the
benefits of this tribunal against its
disadvantages.
Col. Snead, of Richmond, has, up to
date, introduced three bills—one to in
corporate The Planters’ and Mechanics’
Bank of Augusta (capital stock $200,-
000, with power of extension to a mil
liou); one to change the times of hold
ing the Superior Court in Richmond
County from the second Monday in April
and October to same day in January
and,June; and one to strike out the
word “ indigent” in the act of last ses
sion, giving artificial arms and legs to
maimed Georgia soldiers. This latter,
which makes mutilation and not poverty
the condition of receiving the State
bounty, is an admirable measure, and it
will be a shame should the General As
sembly refuse to adopt it. The subject
ot relief is destined to prove a problem,
whose solution will tax to the uttermost
legislative ingenuity, but will not be
further touched on in this letter than to
say it has been suggested that the State
credit be relied on to help the people out
of their strait—assuming the relation of
creditor, under certain restrictions. This
plan comos from high authority, but has
not as yet been perfected in detail. The
S'ate finances, it is pleasant to say. are
in a condition that gives no ground for
despondency. The entire debt of Geor
gia is at date $5,706,500, and exclusive
of the State road, which, by law, is not
allowed to be valued in a presentation
of public accounts, the present assets
are $1,126,000. The road is, ot course,
in reality assets, and I am informed by
the Comptroller General—whose report,
by the bye, is highly creditable, and
shall receive hereafter a more fitting
notice—that he has means of knowing
it could be sold at a fortnight’s notice
for ten millions of dollars.
The indications arc that the session
will be far more lively than was at first
thought, some of the fair ones of the
State having descended, like so many
goddesses, upon us, and bringing with
them much talk of festive import.
Yesterday the pastor of the Methodist
Church made an exhibit that speaks
little for the state of the vineyard in this
quarter, stating at the end of the ser
vices that he would, with that day, with
draw from further ministration—having
been cheered in two longyears with little
spiritual comfort from his flock, and still
less wherewithal to keep himself and
family from want. Report says the good
man has enjoyed a munificent salary of
S3OO per annum, which, if so, will
account for his somEwhat startling hom
ily. Rev. Mr. Flynn still ministers ac
ceptably at the Presbyterian Chuich,
and keeps up his laudable wont of pray
ing for all them that do languish in an
unjust captivity.
The story told by a correspondent
(Quondam) of the N. Y. Times-, in a late
letter to that paper from Augusta, to the
effect that Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
and his brother, the Judge, favored the
adoption, by Georgia, of the Constitu
tional Amendment, turns out to be
without foundation. A letter was very
recently received, in tlm city, by a gentle
man once occupying a high official po
sition, in which Mr. Stephens emphatic
ally says his position is not such as the
letter alluded to attributes to him, and
that he cannot imagine what could have
led to a statement as erroneous in re
gard to him as to his brother. He thinks;
also, that the Amendment should be
acted on at once in order to put at rest
all doubts as to how Goorgia will stand
in the matter. The first steps in this
action were takeu to day, as stated, and
by the 7th or Bth, perhaps before, the
proper verdict will be passed upon the
measure. 8. D.
