UKfifcyTciTY tlk tLAfION. ”1- • THU lb* DAY MO&MNG...., Ne*. 15. MW* Th# Columbia & Augusta lUity TNmi. Z A “*"**• as to *Btttacrip»km* or "No Sufocrip ti >o** ta this Roml, tqr the City Council, %wll be Uicfn on Monday nest. The •object is on important one, and _de r asonde 0 cosoflil owl serious confers tio i ot the hands of the lefrel vottHrtrtf Involved in It; end we shoal® be csw ful not to take n hasty judgment against an enterprise which, in oug judgment, will greatly promote the prosperity of onr City. M <•< The value - and importance of this "Road are so apparent, that we are at a loss to conceive why any. individual, ol ' any journal, should oppose -it in itseH There may be some reason in opposing it on the ground that the finantes ot w It nllStTulG , fait MOfiTOWCripilOll Will increase the debt of the City, and that taxation will thereby be increased. We say that theta might be some reason, or rather some excuse, far opposition to the Road on these grounds. But there appears to be,‘in certain quarters, an opposition to ityflf on its own merits. Now, we propose to show the ground lessness of the former opposition and the unreasonableness of the latter. In the fitst place, the Gity Council of Augusta has a subscription oi $500,000 in the Stock of the Miliedgeville Rail road, which roust J»o greatly - improved in value by the completion of the Co lumbia A Augusts Hail road ;tor the lat ter Road will be a feeder to the former, and, by the increase of business in freight and travel which it will bring to it, mast increase thfe valnc of the Stock. In this view of the subject, it is not im probable that the $500,000 stock of the City will be increased . in.. value to the amount of at least SIOO,OOO- Os the amount of increase, however, we can only conjecture ; but that it will be considerable, there can be no doubt. This is certainly an important consid eration. In the second place, trade and travel will seek the shortest routes betujpen given points. This Road ’Will shorten the rputft between the North and Au gusta, and, by securing a direct commu nicatiou with the Blue Ridge Railroad from Ninety-Six, via the Pine House, give us a-shorter and more direct route to the Ohio river and the Northwest, thus bringing a large increase of freight arid travel to and through this City, benefitting'the merchants and mechan ics, as as laboring men generally, in the increase of commerce and trade which must necessarily ensue. By this Road, farmers, planters and • merchants, who Slow trade elsewhere, will' come to Augusta to sell their Cot* ton and produce, and purchase their goods. 'By the establishment of the depots and machine-shops in the City, the chances of employment for me chanics and laboring men will be in creased j and by the completion of the Road, and the consequent increase, ot business and labor, the value of teal estate will also 'beincreased. And by these processes, the sources of /revenue will be multiplied, thus reducing the rates of taxation or, at least, while • increasing their amount in the aggre gate, rendering them individually less burthcnsouie, and at fbe same time enabling the City to liquidate its entire ‘ indebtedness at an earty period. In the third place, it-will necessarily glye_etuploynaeat, Jo ltfrgtt-nnßibers of people, mechanics, engineers, laboring' men,' draymen, etc. In the fourth place, it will give in creased trade to the Georgia, Central, and Miliedgeville Railroads, and so im prove the stocks of those Roads,:much of which is held by our own citizens, including the City itself in the former and latter Roads. ' inf the fiTth- place; it/WiH rod*} proba. bly cause the postponement or discon tinuance of' the Air Line Railroad from (Jbqrlqlte,, Noijh Carolina, to Atlanta,- Georgia, how projected, and which, if completed vyill, without doubt, greatly injure this City. In the sixth place, the holding of Railroad stock shy the City is pi great ad van tage., tp, ifie City. Thus, for in stance, the Git/was enabled through its Georgia ftailroed Stock, .to borrow, abroad, at a time when it was greatly needed, and which it could not have done otherwise. Tbq dividends on the Stock amount to something, and by the sale of the Stock, Or by its hypotheca tion, money can be obtained, which, without this resource it would be imj os sible to get. 11l the seventh place, the subscription of SIOO,OOO on the part of the City of Augusta, it is authoritatively asserted, will secure the completion of the, Hoad to this placet It is true a resolution exists on the Records of Council de 'durinjf-thnt no curb [it:ring lioad shull enter the City without tirst tendering to the South Carolina Railroad Company the.par valves, of , its subscription of $200,000 to. the Milicdgeville Railroad, and that this resolution binds jtho City for twenty live years. Rut the question arises, id the action of the City Council ot' Jff.l, in u matter pMgiijg the f«*k of the fcily to a poli'-y sy utterly at v v riance with the best interest* id ,its citi zens, financially, commercially, and otherwise, binding upon its If it is bo, is a mere resolution of Coun cil thus binding, or is not an Ordinance requisite?' We say these question* necessarily arise'; mid while ’we wiiufii not, in u mere quibble, have the faith of thu City violated on any acj count,toet'wo.may bsk taw it|> that a ComfajUmUpf afsub*«r ,en ' Qpun#| reportiji*HW rfiltawinff this It..*# (**>.'s■ the (Jty, %ort *aeJ received and laid over for future action; and that the present Council ordered an election tobeTieM toTahe tfielefile W the poepleropon the question of subterip ’ ifAn tor Vo' subscription to its stock by f—The** **• aieaUmsi points involved H* tlrtee questions ; but if the Columbia A Augusta Railroad Com pany will bind itself to assume #l| legal responsibilities in the premises, thus relieving Vbw-Gfcy of iu liability; or, Vgtter still, if some compromise can be mode between the Compenift* we see' no reason why this should prevent the voters of Augusta Horn voting ib favor of Subscription. That is, -a question, which the City Council cam avoid ,bjr requiring the assumption of responsi bility by the Columbia A Augusta Rai£ road Company. Then another objection is, that the Charter of the Company exempt* their property from taxation,' by the j Slate and Municipal Authorities of. Bouth Carolina and Georgia. This is correct, in point of fttet; but it li an objection which can be very easily overcome iu thja instance, by'the City Council ■ making a. condition of their subscrip tion, which they really, do, in submit ting the question to foe people, the right to tax their peoperty as other property in the City is taied. This objection is really no objection atalL ,-j The city of Bolumbia} with its black ened walls apd ruined homesteads, its robbed an<f impoverished oilmens, has subscribed $35,300 to the work. Shall Augnsta drive it away from her limits and thus lose its advantages, and build up those of other roads, simply because her indebtedness wiH be increased by $7,Q00 per annum, and her bonded debt I>y SIOO,OOO ? We should think not. We live in an age,of enterprise and progress ; and if we don’t want to be tan oyer and crushed, we must move along with that spirit of enterprise and progress. If we wish to see our City increase in population, i# business, and in general prosperity, we must give our encouragement to every enterprise that will tend that way. The Columbia and Augusta Railroad is oaeof these enter prises; and the voters of the City should, in our judgment, give their sanction, ou Monday next, to a Subscription of SIOO,OOO, in City seven per cent. Bonds, by the C ty Council—an amount which wq are assured will secure its completion to this point, and all thfe advantages which must follow that completion.

Pluto. [CON.WUNICATKD.'I Columbia & Augusta Railroad. Mr. Editor: It is to be regretted that the Conslilulionaiist has deemed it necessary to oppose that progress and spirit of public improvement which has, heretofore characterized it as well as the citizens of Augusta. Its course would not bn deemed objectionable, had it confined its strictures on the Colum bia <fc Augusta Railroad to fair and rea sonable arguments. It first tells the public that the Hoad will be built whether tha City subscribes or not. In the sftme article, it states that the Road may never get beyond Graniteville, fven if the subscription of SIOO,OOO is made. “This smacks of clap trap.* If the Company “numbers among its Stock holders some 6f the wealthiest men in Georgia and South Carolina,” it only shows that these gentlemen have done their duty, and the appeal comes with greater force so the City of Augusta— destined -to be the recipient of its greatest benefits—to give her aid. What is thought of the man who refuses to subscribe to a church or school house, when it is admitted that he will derive as great benefits from the improvemeitt as any one else ? He is not considered either just or honest. There are rela tive duties as well as absolute, which we owe, and our obligation cannot bep ignored or denied in the performance ot them. But the Constitutionalist, after many: unfair insinuations against a usefuL struggling for an existence amid all the difficulties of the times, and that financial condition of the country, says: that the City Council huve granted the exclusive right to the South Carolina Railroad for twehty five yeafs, to cross the Savannah river aud euter the City, and that no other Railroad connecting Charleston or Columbia with this City shall enter it without first tendering to. the South Carolina Road her subscript tioti, with interest thereon, to the Mil ledgeviließailroad. rs _ 1 Such appears to ba-the substance of a resolution, proposed by the Ctiuunil, The whole proceedings appeal- to have been only commenced—it was 'never carried out. No contract, of which this might have beeu the 1)11818, was ever executed or entered into Be tween the respective parties. It is therefore null and void, even if the Couucil, without the authority of the efti *oi,s,. thus undertook to confer a mo nopoly upon one Railroad for 25 years, and to exclude all others from th* City limits. Fortunately for the City, this action 1r without any Mtfgtralidity; otherwise'' no clher road rejtold evei think of corefiTg witMn our Hpts whenK it could go round thu ML The charter*Jßit pahaed by (hV Legist lature of Georgia does not exempt tbe ■property of the Company from taxation, - if |t by contact,dj*eraiienedFttipayta prof poftion ot taxation. —— Ip October tip present Mayor made a report to Council, recommend ing that the ripht of way through the . 6ity to the Columbia A Au gusta Railroad Company. This ; pqs aitcofd by U>f Raitaapd Committee, 'including Ml. Heart, wuoHittaduceq the resolution offering to grant a monopoly pany. This* shows what importance was attached to the resolntion offered in ' favor of tba South Carolina Rail road by prominent members of , tbe Snuacik Jt was treated *f Afviug no liAexistence. Should - the subscript tion be made and paid in Bonds of the Gity, tbtey will probably not- b*. offeradin mqrket for twelve months, apd such wilT be the impulse fliran.to the Road,land thewerhaSn increased psoeperity to our City, that its credit will be improved Hereby. yjj&fffippia*. ’ * Colombia & Angosta Railroad. Mr. Editor: Tfhe Constitutionalist, in its editorial of yesterday, beaded “Subscription,” or “No Subscription,” indulges in a long argument against subscription to the Columbia A Augusta Railroad. The editor very truly re maiks, “the Road is, in progress,'’;and will be built. “Some oi the wealthiest men in Georgia and Sooth Carolina!’ are Stockholders, and insinuates that those wealthy men ought to build it; “if they think it will pay." Now, Mr. Editor, wealthy men are' very useful in a community; but too much must not be expected of them ; and it was a kind .prevision of natur* that -thfey should not own all the Railroads and Churches, {but N tkat -1 m : ight participate in the' benefits and risks of those enterprises. fbffher truly remarks that it is bflb V h question of time,” and asks "will the. benefit that may be derived from an earlier completion of the Road compen sate for the certain loss sustained by subscribing?” Now, here is the whole question. I say time is all important; and as the Road will be completed so tnueh soouef by the subscription, the loss—-in interest on the Bonds—will be more than counterbalanced by the increased trade and the enhancement ot real estete in this City. It iS also true that the stock of the Road, at present, is below par. Bat, Mr. Editor, I am informed this City subscribed <to the Georgia Railroad at par when its stock was selling at 22 cents' on the dollar, and the prospects then were not nearly so good as those of the Columbia A Augusta Road. l ■ As regards the debt of this City and its present financial coudilioh, perhaps the less said tbe bettev No one outside pf tbe Council knows what the condi tion of the City is ; but I take it for granted that if properly exhibited the apprehensions felt on that score will be dispelled. One thiug is self-evident —if you did not have the Georgia Railroad Stock you could not have raised that money. And now for the “ dap-trap" about 1 this question. I .find none in the resolu tion ; but I do fiod sophistry, and, per haps, clap-trap iu the question, how is the Road to cross the river against the contract between the South Carolina Road and Augusta?: Show up youfa contract, gentlemen, show it up. A resolution is not a contract. Mr. Heard’s resolution was offered on the 18th December, 1861. It amounted 1 to giving a monopoly to the South Caro lina Railroad for-twenty?five years ; but subsequently I find, by the Minutes of Council, that on the) 7th .of October, 1864, the then Railroad Committee of Council recommended the ‘‘crossing of the Savannah river by the Augusta A Columbia Railroad;” and the same Mr. Heard was one of the Committee, and signed the Report. Would the gentle- r . man have done this if his previous reso lution was binding? Clap-trap, eh?- In regard to the necessity of the Com pany, compelling it to- atop at Granite ville, “what redress?" etc., I answe/, let us make no olap trap contract, bijt let the Company Outer into bonds in doiable the City’s stock, to comply with'’lhfi.' terms of the subscription. Again, the' Const it xttion (dipt intimates that the Leg; islature of South Carolina own control. the City of Augusta through, the charter of thsColumbia and Augusta Railroad, and this City cannot tnjt the property of th® Company in Augusta. Oh, clap trap 1 Finally, and in conclusion, the bbjjec tions offered by the Constitutionalist ate, 'to use their own words, “clap-trap.” Let the people, one. and all, come out and vote for the interest of the City, and the Columbia & Augusta Railroad.
