The Colombia and Augutia Bail-
road. .* -
The City Council ha* acted wisely, we
think, in reftaaing to reconsider or re
•rind iu former artien (it regard to tho
’ Columbia and Augusta flail rood. The
qostion of or “no «üb
•cripiiou,” will now be submitted to the
pwpie, as ordered, on Monday next;
anti It behooVea them to act with judg
ment and prudence. They should un
denlapd this poiut, that, though they
oote for ‘‘subscription.’’ the vote is not
mandatory to the City Council, but sim
ply permissive. It is a prerequisite to
any action on the subject by the City
Council. With this popular permission
they can vote to subscribe to the Rail
road, or not, as, In their judgment, may
be deemed beat for the interest of the
City. Without it, they can not take any
aciinri sit all., Haaoe it is not au appeal
to the’ people*for“ instruction simply to
relieve the members of the Council Irpm
responsibility in the premises, bn't a
legal requirement, which must, in the
terms of the law, be fully complied with
before any. farther proceedings can take
place on tfee part of the City Council.
Hence, voters can vote for “subscrip
tion,”. without compelling Council thereby
to subscribe. That body is composed of
gentlemen of intelligence, integrity, and
business experience, and the people who
had confidence enough in them to place
them in their present position,
ftaght to, and will, we are sure, have
confidence enough in them to trust
them on this question. They will act
for the good of the City, and make no
subscription without first fully securing
the City against any future loss or injury
on account of it. By all means, then,
let our citizens give them the authority
to subscribe, and then leave to the
wisdom, the discretion, and the prudence
of the City Council the question of sub
scribing to the stock, or tendering a loan
to the proposed Railroad.
We have already shown the advantages
that must necessarily enure to the City
from the completion of this Road ; and
now, as it will be s.een, that a vole for
“subscription” will not irrevocably bind
the Council to subscribe, it is to be hoped
that those who wish to aid the enter
prise, by loan rather than by subscrip
tion, will not he deterred from voting for
“gubscriptiqn” on Monday next. This
vote will be necessary, in our judgment,
not only to authorize a subscription by
Council, but to show to that body that it
is the earnest desire of their constituents
that they should take some action iu aid
of this enterprise. And it will be well,
too, that the vote shall be a large one,
as it will bo.more authoritative and more
satisfactory.
Revolutionary Proceedings.
The Radicals of the North are evi.
dently determined to precipitate the
country into another Revolution, should
they not be permitted to carry out their
■wild and unconstitutional schemes.
Like Arteinus Ward, they are “ in favor
of the next war," and are willing to
sacrifice fbe last one of their wive’s
cousins in the cause of Radicalism t
The latest development of their schemes
is the following, of which appears in
the Washington Chronicle of a late
date:
“ Being profoundly impressed with
the importance of the struggle through
which the country is passing, and of the
necessity of preserving the results
gained by its triumphs in the field, and
more recently at the polls, the under
signed, a committee appointed by the
Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Union of Wash
ington, TANARUS). C., do in their name earnestly
invite their comrades, the loyal veterans
of the Republic, with all other friends-of
the great cause of union and liberty, to
be meet in a national mass welcome and
council to be held in this, the Federal
capital, on Saturday, December the Ist,
proximo.
“We ask yous presence to honor and
nssure protection to the loyal majority
»h the Thirty-ninth Congress, in whom
wc recognize faithful guardians of our
assailed institutions and able supporters
of the principles involved.
“ Come in your might I By your pre
sence show how sternly loyalty can re
buke treason. Prove thereby that the
threats and insults of a treacherous
Executive against the legislative branch
of the Government canuot intimidate a
free people. Here iu the Federal cap
ital must our great struggle culminate
in wise and equitable legislation. Here,
theH, should we assemble to;encourage
and strengthen Congress—do whose
hands the Constitution wisely entrusts
the power—to such just action as will
make peace permanent and liberty uni
versal.

“ Correspondence is invited, and may
be addressed, R. J. llinton, Washington,
b. c,"
The object of this call is cither to
intimidate President Johnson, and drive
him from his conservative position, or,
by the organization of a largo Radical
force in Washington eity at the assem
bling of Congress, to protect that body
in its unconstitutional and treasonable
legislation. If the first proposition be
correct, we need have no fears of tlic
result. President Johnson is not the
man, it we are correctly informed, to be
intimidated by tbo threats of his ene
mies.
If tbo second, bo can offset this revo
lutionary movement by concentrating
such n forco iu Washington City as will
secure the Government from tailing
into the hands of the revolutionists, and
sustain him in his efforts to uphold uud
support the Constitution ot the United
Htutcs. If it becomes necessnry, lie can
proclaim himself Dictator for the time
living, and thus crush out revolution
and Jacobinism at a Mow. 11a will
have the men to hack hiqu The Com
sorvalives of the Northland the South,
though thpy may have divided, by
war, are now united upon the common
platform of the Union, the Constitution,
and the Laws 5 and they will rally to
the support of the President it he needs
their services.
But we taper ney, we believe, that
there will he no necessity for any vio
lent assumption of power 00 the part of
tha Executive, nor for auy concentra
tion of force at any point. We believe!
that the good sense, the intelligence of
the American people will frown down
all the wild and visionary schemes of
the fanatics who are seeking to destroy
the temple of the Union, and to tear up
the very roots of Constitutional liberty. 1
They will be thwarted in their evil de
signs. They will be forced to yield to
the voice of the people, and they will
be punished for their temerity and their
criminal intent. This is the hope and
the belief which we feel authorized to
indulge, by our faith in the wisdom and
justice of our people, and confidence in
the nerve and patriotism of our Presi
dent.

Aid of the State to the Macon and
Brunswick Railrtiad. There was some
discussion on the bill, Messrs. Harde
man of Bibb, and Moses of Muscogee
spoke in favor of it, and Messrs. Ridley
of Troop and Harrison of Chatham in
opposition to it. Upon taking the vote,
there were yeas 95, nays 54. So the
bill passed, “Look out for the engine
when the whistle blows.” Pluto.
MiUedgeville Letter.
Milledgeville, Nov. 15th, 1866.
Editor Daily Press— The railroad
mania Bore is something tremendous.
Avery great pressure is brought to bear
upon the subject of granting or amend
ing charters, or extending State aid,
aod, to Mi impartial observer, it is not
an over easy poiut to determine whether
the General Assembly should act as
desired in these cases or no. On the
one hand, it is true that the State is very
poor, the peoplo illy able to bear taxa
tion, and corporations too often given to
extending the inch the law allows them
to an ell of their own—having, to
restrain them, neither “bodies to be
kicked nor souls to %e damned.” On the
other, it is equally true that every work
of public improvement, every railway,
turnpike road, canal, wharf, ortheliko,is
an absolute and undeniable source to
any people of both individual and col
lective wealth, glory, and power. Bal
ancing one fairly against the other, the
true course is, perhapa, to aid develop
ment within our borders, wherever pos
sible without imposing too heavy ft
burden upon a people now engaged iu a
running yuidrunn light with poverty and
distress. A dollar now is worth more
tlmn five will bo to tho most of us some
years hence, hut, having due regdrd to
present exigencies, future prosperity
seems to demand that the Stdto do what
she cmi to foster any and every scheme
that may bring capital into her borders,
or open up regions, hitherto sealed, to
market.
. Among some of tho railway schemes
in ngil. tio t, may bo mentioned the
Macou and Brunswick Company, the
Air Lino, and the August* smd Colum
bia. The Charter of this latter was,
today, amended so es to strike out the
29th Section—or “personal liability”
clause—a fact It may interest the good
people of Augusta to kuow at this par
ticular time. On tha 13th instant, the
bill to this end was passed iu the
House, and to-day passed its third
rlading in the Senate, Col. Gibson
calling the matter up specially, and en
forcing the propriety of the action taken
by tbq Senate itt a shortcut oljjar and
influential argument. Hereafter of the
other railways.
The Governor s«6 l*i oil the morn
ing of the 13th instant (Tuesday last),
a message relative to the vexed matter
of the Florida boundary line—a matter,
as hie Kxcellen cy states, once settled,
but afterwards unwisely ripped up by
the Georgia Legislature in 1861. It
seems Jhat whs* ls,iytownf a A the Prr
and Whitner fine, which may be seen
portrayed on the State maps, was:
agreed on by both States, and, as the
secession from that .oopipgct by Geor
gia has brought about a great state of
disorder—that may even culminate in
violence—along the border, the Execu-I
tive statement is.that this State is
in good faith, to gb back to the original
settlement. In concluding the Message,
authority is asked to isadso a proclama
tion, declaring the Orr and Whitner
line the lawful boundary, and a proper
acknowledgment is made of the cour
teous bearing of Governor Walker, of
Florida, in his action iipoit the matter.
Though a U. 8. Senator—God save
the mark—is to be elected this session,
in place of Hon. Herscbel V. Johnson
term expiring—it is a matter of notice
that the election has attracted no atten
tion whatever, except that, for the first
time in the history of the State, there
are no candidates. General Lawton
has been here for some days, and Ex-
Gov. Brown has also made his appear
ance, in an unusually excellent state of
health at the Capitol., The compliment
of a seat upon the floor hae beqn ex
tended to either of those gentlemen, ns
also to Judge Hiram Warner. From
Fleming O. Griene, Esq., of the Su
preme Court, the following judicial
notice (official), which may be of in
terest, is received :

November 6, 1866,
The fifteenth annual report of the
Georgia Academy for the Blind, just
laid before the General Assembly, shows
thirty five pupils in that institution—
twenty males,fifteen females—a number,
it is estimated, which will reach forty five
before the next report. These pupils:
being chiefly indigent, have been taught
handicrafts, aud are reported as showing
great dexterity in the manufacture of
brooms, hearth-brushes, cushions, mats,
and the like articles. Some have beeu
blind from youth, aud others have be
come so by disease, or the casualties of
battle in Virginia, Georgia, and the
Carolinas. An elaborate essay by Col.
Frank Schaller, of Athens, on the
Labor System of the South—five hun
dred copies of which were ordered for
the House—has been laid in printed
form before that body. This essay was
submitted to the Planters’ Convention,
at Macon, 6th September last, and seems,
from a necessarily hasty inspection* re
plete with useful information.
This morning a bill was reported to
establish a Common School System,
from the Joint Committee of Sixteen,
appointed for that purpose last session.
The system proposed by this bill is a
combination of public aud voluntary
effort, and bids fair to give us that ines
timable boon—a uniform aud permanent
system of education for the young. One
noticeable feature is that the schools are
to be no longer called “ Free,” or “ Com
mon Schools,” but by the far better
appellation of the “ Georgia Schools.”
Col. Butler, of Madison, has the credit
of originating, in great part, of this
system, and deserves meritorious men
tion for his honorable enthusiasm in n
cause so mighty at all times, hut so all-'
important now. Rev. 0. L. Smith and
Dr. Cnsey of the Senate ; and I)r. Rid
ley, Col. Ponte, and Hon. T. B. Phillips,
of the House —members of the Com
mittee—have also done much to the de
sired end. S. D.
—“The smiles of homo are exceed
ingly pleasant," but there are ipany
people who have good homes who prefo
“smiling” with a friend outside. "

cases in Columbus, at present.

Colombia and Auguita Railroad
'The Augusta' nnd Oolutubia Kuilroa
is, without a single doubly one of th
very best investments of the day. N'.
shrewd man questions for an Instant
the success which await* it. No du
man can avoid catching a gleam trot*
the wealth of its future, if he will J>i>
open a pair of ordinary eyes. A com
mon school map would reveal its ui
paralleled advantages to a boy.
Hitherto, the trade and travel of th |
Hojtb, Soutfv end West,- he* been com
polled to make * greet detoqr betwee
two Important cities. The road frot
Augusta to Columbia, tia Branchvill- ,
constitutes two sides of a triangle,, whir .
we may suppose di-awn between foots
three points. The Augusta end Col urn
•bia Road, despite certain necessar
deflections from a straight line, must I
regarded as the third eide 'of that tr
angle. It is, therefore, by far the shor
est Road. When it is in operation,
will, in behalf of the commerce .of Jh
country, destroy sixty-three miles i
space, and gain six hours of time. 1
will make the difference of nearly
whole day in the journey from New O*
leans to New York.
This advantage, alone, will result i
almost doubling the amount of the
travel whose route lies directly throng
our streets. No one who has watcher
the influences which control the curreuj
of trade will deny this statement:
Every obstacle removed from its chau'
nel, every facility imparted to its pro
gress, tempts uew adventurers into thi,
stream. Within a very tew years afte
the opening of the Road, we may loo’
to see such a tide of business rolling
through Augusta as she has never seen
in her palmiest days. Even that part
of it which passes onward with scarcely
a pause, will not fail to leave rich de
posits in our midst
It will be the interest of every railway
fine to the North of us, and of every stean(
boat fine as far South as Wilmington to
send their through passengers over this
road. The stream of travel which flows
Westward, making Augusta its channel,
will therefore be largely increased. Ou
the others hand, a further reduction of
time and distance is rapidly being mado
between this city and Mobile. The tido
pouring East and North will conse
quently be equally increasedjin volume
In addition to the above advantages,
the fine runs through a rich, healthy and
comparatively thickly populated regiun,
offering every prospect of local aid,
local business, and local resources to
sustain the enterprise. When one con
siders the many arguments in favor of
the road, one cannot help wondering
that it was not built many years ago.
Let us congratulate ourselves, however,
that it is in the course of‘construction
now, and iu the most competent hands.
Before next Spring, it is hoped that the
whole bed wifi be completed, and every
thing ready for the laying down of tho
rails. Nothing can prevent this but some
temporary embarrassment from the wan t
of "funds.
So seplnflid are the prospect* of the
Company, however, so solid its plans,
and so able its officers, that such an
embarrassment cannot last long. Money
must pour in upon it. Its stock is of
more real value than gold; and tbe
completion of the work is almost beyond
the reach of fate. Still, it would be ft
great pity if auy delay should occur.
Tho Company desires, and the interests
of the country demand, that the fine
should be put into operation as soon ns
possible. Subscriptions are wanted at
once. An appeal to meet this demand
has been made to the city of Augusta as
to a party particularly interested in the
early accomplishment of the enterprise.
She will not fail to heed it, we are sure.
Columbia, which is still half in ruins,
has already contributed mostgenerously
to the stock. Augusta, we hope, will
show herself equally public-spirited and
wise. The question lies with her citizens
to decide. They have but to consider
what they are asked to do, and that is,
not to risk a hundred thousand dollars
on a doubtful adventure, but to invest
that sum iu a work which will not only
pay a large per eentage on the mere
outlay, but which will contribute in
countless ways to increase the wealth,
the busiuess, and the attractions of our
beloved city. Poi.icy.
