<||)t Dailji City Printer—Official Paper LA&GKST fivT CIRCULATION. « a.m-i.. ..mn . Al'UUti'tA, UA.i 1* SATURDAY MoRN Not. If, >899 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. D. S. Curtis, R. J. Hinton, A. J. UIiNTOK, N. 8. Mobsb, L. Emm - Ddw.ev. “ 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.

The House did nothing this morning but consider the Bill to Extend the 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.

Griene, Esq., of the Su preme Court, the following judicial notice (official), which may be of in terest, is received : Clerk’s Office Supreme Court, 1 MiUedgeville, Ga., > November.2d, 1866. J Whereas, Section 4174 of the Code of Georgia requires the publication of the order in which the Docket of the Su preme Court will be called, at least one month prior to the session of each term, in two Gazettes published at the place where the Court shall sit, I do, therefore, in conformity to this law, make this publication of the order in which the Docket of the said Court will be called on the first Monday in November next, of which all parties interested will please take notice. 1.

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.

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.
