On our firal page thia morning, will be found the proceedings of the meeting of citizens held yesterday to comidor *n3 act upon the re organization of tho Hnvnnnah and Albany Railroad Company. The meeting waa a re- markably hannunioua one, and na will be seen ’ by the officiul report, the preamblo and reao- lutions of Dr. Screven ratifying end appro* ing the new organization, were passed by a unanimous vote, Thia result is peculiarly gratifying, prosing as it doea that our citizens ure fully impressed with the immense importance of the contem plated work, and that they are resolved on its speedy accomplishment, ltut one opinion regard to the main foatures of the organization prevailed in the meeting, and the ready adjust mom ol opposite views on minor points, and the cordial unanimity with which the final action waa had, augur well for a vfgorous and successful prosecution of tho work. We nted not now roiierato our opinion of the immense advantages and importance of the pro posed road, to this city, to our own southern sec tion and to the country at large. We have from tho first advocated the construction ol the road aa contemplated by the charter tinder which the new orguitizatiuu has been made—-that is to any, of a great air lino trunk toad from Sa vannah to Mobile, with branches to Florida and in such other directions aa tho inteicata ol tho company and the necessities of tho country might require. We have bolieved that such road, giving ua tho shortest transit from At Juntio to Gulf, and placing un in speedy com fuunicatinn with the two most important Gull ports, with the important railroads leading from the middle country to Mobile and New Orleans, and in almost a direct line with the system of roads loading through Louisiana and Terns, towards El Faso and tho I'i cific, would secure to Savannah perinanot ad vantages ns the entreport and outport of tu immense trade and travel, while, in a nations point of view, it would be second in impor t ana* to no other road on the continent.. It ft the construction of aucli a road, or such a system of roads, that ia contemplated by the present organization. The charter which hot been bui rendered to Savannah en aides her to proaecuto her proposed connec tion with Florida without embarrassment delay, while it provides for tho construction o' the main trunk, enabling us to oiler induce merits which cannot fail to procure obundan. foreign capital fur the accomplishment of the entire system of roads in couiuinplation. Wo desire to congratulate our citizens and the people of Georgia on the consum mation of an arrangement which secures the commencement ol this groat enlerpri/.e undei auspices that promise its auccesslul accom plishment. With the first blow that is struck on ilia work will begin the date of a new era in the prosperity of Savannah and of South western Georgia. csr Wo invite the attention of the travel ing public, to the schedule of the South-west ern Railroad in another column, under the able Buporintemlttiice of Mr. Adams; this it ono of the best conducted roads in tho South.

Yours Truly K. R. MILLS. ill l Augusta Uotll.—In another column 'be found tho cord uf Mr. S. C. Wilson, pro prielorol the Augusta Hotel, Augusta, Geo Mr. Wilson keeps an excellent house and is obliging and atteutivo to the wunta and comfort of hia patrons. Da. Hines once Moke.—The Charleston Courier learns from tho Girard, Ala., East Alabamian, of the 26th inat., that several fire* liavo recently occurred in Columbus, Go., and that tho notorious Dr. llinea, having boon sus pected to be connected in aoine way with thr incendiaries, wun summarily expelled from .Girard and Columbus, and at the last account* wns quite ill in Barbour county, Ala., with but , littlo hops of recovery. A letter received in this city yesterday from Columbus, Geo., states that Hines, previous ti leaving that city, burrowed a hoi sir and buggy since which, no tidings oi him have beeu heard GT The total amount received by the edi tor* of the Charleston Courier, for the Non Orleans sufferers, up to Monday evening, wot $6,494 30, of which $785 was contributed un that day. ^^ 4 Tue African Squadron.—Advices have •‘been received in Washington from Commodore Isaac Mayo, who is in command ol our African Squadron. He writes from Port Pray a, on the 21st ol July, with his flag ship, the Con stitulion, and was then about to proceed on t cruise upon tho slave coast for four or five mouths. Tho Marion .and the Perry had gone to Madeira, to enable their officers und crews to recruit from the debilitating eflucts ol u recent long cruise off the coast. These ves eels were also io start back for the coast (slave) as soon as possible. 'The Commodore is said to write that all in the squadron aro quite a* well as could be expected. f3T Complaint having been made to out Post Office Department that the French mails, aud particularly French newspapers, were de- tained in Engiand so as to be forwarded b> British instead of United Statos steamers, the Postmaster General brought the subject to the notice of the British post authorities, and ho* received from them a positive denial of the truth of the charge, asserting that the mail* are made up in the French post office, and dispatched by the first packet, whether undei contract with the British or the United States Government. The Washington Star says, the Hon Robert J. Walker will probably leave the United States for China in the course of the next month. sr The Bustuu Trautcripl learn, from a friend, wlio pe.sed Inn Friday nigln on Mount Washington, that for twelve hour, the mercury “■*< hot higher than 30 deg. ; and that in the morning there waa a couaideralile quantity ot ice and icicles. or The atoaraer Prometheus arrived at New York quarantine on 7'huraday, from Nev, Orleans. A strict search for those “cast-off. raga" said to have been shipped from New Orleans in sab! vessel, was made, but there were none found. There waa no sickness on board the Prometheus, She brought but few possengeri—not more than thirty iu all. OT The English Government is puzzled lo know what to do with the five thousand prisoners annually sentenced to transporta tion. Ilia not considered desirable to send them to Australis, or to keep them at home; or to found a new penal settlement. Bui pro- bably the last will he the course adopted. We have reason to believe, says the Courier and Enquirer, that there is no truth in the statements that the steamer AUeghany has been designated by the Government for the conveyance of Mr* Walker to China, and that the report concerning the Saranac is equally unfounded. The 8aranac cannot be got ready before November, and if then ready to set out would not reach Canton before March, by which timo, it ia believed, British diplomacy will have concluded s commercial treaty with the successful insurgents. The Alleghany cannot accomplish the voyage at all. It has been decided not to purchase or charter a steamer for his special service. There seems lobe no probability that Mr. Walker will pro. coed upon this important mission. A new steamer is now on the stocks, at the •hip-yard of John W. Griffiths, (late 8. fine- den,) at Greenpoint, which is expected to be ready for sea eaily in February next. This steamer is being constructed under the plans and specifications of William Norris, civil en gineer, and John W. Griffiths, naval architect, who have patented their improvements in thia country, England and France. The builder* and patentees, it is said, aro under engagement* to cross the Atlantic, from New York to Eng land, within six days, in all seasons, will greater comfort to passongars and less risk lo life than by the present conveyances. |y A public moo ting waa held at Provi dence, K. I., on Friday afternoon, to consider the recent collision on the Worcester Railroad. Resolutions, mild and exculpatory in their tone, wero reported, but were amended so aa lo strongly censure the roud. The first resolu tion was reported—"Whereas, in the provi dence of God,"—this was stricken out and amended es follows ; " Whereas, by the gross mismanagement of those hav ing charge of tho Provieciice and Worcester Railroad corpora tion." I)r. Wayland, who presided, left the chair, ploading an engagement, and a number of others left ilia Hall. The rnoeting waa not large, but tho debsto was sharp. Id?* Tho government Jius succeeded in re deeming about $ 1,200,(Ml^of the six’per cent, bonds, due in 1867 and 1868; and there is not the least doubt butthat it will obtain tho whole $7 ,000,000 in (ho various luans due in 1856, 1862,1807, and 1868. The greatest portion of the stock redeemed was presented by the houso of Winslow, Lanier Ac Co. There has not yet been sullinient limn for tho announce ment of this useful government measure tu reuch all such of the stockholders as Europe, but tho announcement w ill eventually bring back from that quarter a very largo umount of stock. IdT General Edward Alexander Tlieller, ol Detroit, who was taken prisoner in the “Pa triot War” of 1838, tried for bis life at Toronto, and sent to Quebec Citadel un his way to Van Diemau’s Land, whence ha effected nrvclloua escape, wrote a history of (he fron tier disturbances, became editor of The Spirit of Seventy-Six, at Detroit, a repealer, &c., is now in San Francisco, where be is publish ing u daily journal in French nnd English called The Present and the Future, iyi Phe New Y'ork Journal of Commerce says that one of the principal peach dealers estimates tho daily arrival of pouches iu the New Y'ork market at 60,009 baskets, or even more. 'Phe trudo has been maintained to this extent for the last five days, but must soon decline. Nine steamers a duy come in, load ed down with from 6,000 to 10,000 basnets. Sub-Appknink Railway Tunnel.—The McHiaggern Modunaue announces that tho in- ternationsl committee fur the Central Railway of Italy litis directed that the tunnel under (be Appeuines bo commenced immediately. The other parts of the liue uro to bo slaked out at the same time. Comparathre Route* is the Pacific. 1 he Washington Republic concludes an ar ticle upon the routes for a Railroad to the Pa cific as follows: We pretniie that we have great faith in the en gineering of nature; we do not doubt that the sav age and the buffalo will niukn tho war-path and the trail along the most favorable ground which is ac cessible. But we have another more infallible guide j it is the tendency of water to obey the law of gravity, and to flow from n higher to a lower country. According to thin test the crossings of the more north hi passes must present a higher level than any other ; becauso it is said tli.it the Colum bia, the Colorado, tho Missouri, ami the Rio del Norte here take their rise, and flow in different quarters to the ocean ; whilst tho southern route crosses three of those streams where they urt fit for navigation. Accordingly we find the elevation of the couth Pass plucod by Col. Fremont ot 7,490 feet above the ocean. The exact height of tho Cochntope Pn«* we do not know. It is less tln.u that of the South Pass ; but wo can readily gel from the report of Mr. Kinory a crons section, running parallel with the Rocky Mountains, ami iu part identical with the Cochu tope route., This will show the general elevation of the country, and indeed the sununit elevation which must bo encountered upon that pass preseuta morn physical obstacles than the more southern routes. It will bo remembered that Mr. Emory traversed the country from Bent’s Fort, Iat.38, Ion. 103, lo Santa F«, and dowu the Rio (Jrande to about the thirty- fifth degree of north Imitudr, where be crossed by way of the Copper Mines to the (ilia river, aud down that stream lo i:4 junction with tho Colorado. This routo then will show the general elevation of thu country, across which cither Ilia. Sooth Pass or lliu C’oclmiope routes must pass. We infer, there fore, that these routes do not prevent merely the obstacles of heavy grades lit a slnglo point, but thst the general elevation of tho country am ititutc a heavy cliurgc upon thu commerce it. isiug IV'i 'ho length of llio Michigan Central ffetn nt'n 'cost of $8,500,000*’or abuuf$Tl6UI) per mile.

A striking contrast is contained in tho fol lowing statement, which wo ftud in the Econo mist ol this oitv : "The United Rtutos army numbers about 10,000 on, und they cost thu country lust year $8,820,246 fur pay, subsistence, clothing, &e. That is to say, 9dffU pur mail, or if we deduct the militia expenses, $80U per mail. It would puzzlo any ono to tell oi whut service wero those men, living uselessly in bur racks aud old forts, eutiug three meals per duy, uuJ turning out occasionally lo touch tbeir caps to thou ollicera. “ Tho llliuoit Ceutral Railroad army numbers ten thousand men also, aud they receive from the com pany 93,700,000 per annum, in return for which they •abor twelvo hours per day upou n work which ractually stretches itself through the most fertile dams, connecting the great lakes with the Ohio ml Mississippi rivers, uud ultimately with tho Uuli of Mexico." The prospective building of tho great Cen- iral Railroad of Illinois alone has added to the wealth of that state, in the appropriation ol wild land, the sum of forty millions within a strip of but twelve mile* in width, and the ac tual construction of the roud will bring to a ready market millions of acre* of land now owned by tho general government, which, were the roud not constructed, would lay waste for years to come. The federal govern ment employe* ten thousand men, at an ux petiso of eight millions of dollars, to cam about muskets. The Central Railroad Com pany, employing ten thousand men at leaa than four millions, confer a vast property upon the stute, upon the federal government, aud upon lltuusauds of farmers. Year after year the government spends its millions of dollars, ef fecting nothing, producing nothing, and result ing iu nothing but the turning loose of super annuated soldiers, mude paupers by a lile ol idleness, to prey upon the industrious during llio remainder of their existence. The Illinois Company, by three years’ penditurc, establishes seven hundred miles ol irun rails through prolific farina, many of them owned by the persons whom they employed to build the road—men of industry, vigor, wealth, and intelligence. The United States, in thirty years, have spent $300,000,000, enough to build a double track to the Pacific, and they have nothing to show for the money but some old forts, guns, tattered uniforms, and demor alized veterans.—TV.

The country intermediate between tho Rio Grunde and the Giln has born veyed, but the results have only appeared upon thr less favorable routo by the Copper Minos, which shows a summit level of from 0,100, to 0.3.0 feet; but it is said those elevations may be uvoided by more direct lino. We msy Imre express our regret that this routo bus not been surveyed with tlmoilier*. Does tho Admiuistrution think that the existing tcrinls are adequate for u fair comparison ? Or the survey postponed because of its apptohouded influence upon our negotiations with Mexico f ll tho former, it would have been woll to put uli the materials before tho public, that they might have influence upon the public opinion. If the latter Im the muse, the postponement is uitUACaM&ry, because long since the government organ of Mexico has pub lished that " the new Minister, Mr. Gudsdeu, would come empowered to offer an indemnity for thu Mcsilla Vulhy, us also for uuy other portion of the territory iu the Valley of the Gila, which it limy tin necessary or desirutde for the American Gov ernment to possoss for tho construction of a rail roud from the Mississippi to tho Pacific." Bu Mexico knows all about it. We think that even wills tlm mnngro materials that exist, Willi no means of equating dm comparative distance by the gradients and curvature, with still less of comparing the actual earth work or mcchuni- cal structure—(hut the difference iu the summit level uud general elevation of tho southern route gives it an immense advantage. For all know that the cost ofcoiiMrncting, maintaining, and working a railroad ovor summits is proportionate, and thut every de- greo ofdepmluro from u level must he u perpetual diurge upon transportation. So that, diitrihutad us thi-se summit elevations may he—along any length of lino—they oro still to ho otercoma aud paid for. Adding therefore to the positive advantages of sum mit presented by the southern route, the advantage that it will bo accessible for supplies from the Rio Grande, the Colorado, aud the Gila, uud the signal advantage of a milder latitude, we aro inclincu to think that it presents more fav..r *hle inducement* to the government, or to capitalists, than either of its competitors. At all events, whilst wo do uot commit ourselves absolutely to this route, unless it shall bn found to present more advantages than anv other, wo hope for a suspension of opinion until it cat) ho plated fairly before the public. [From theCourior do 1‘Europo.] Influence of tlie Knropenn Crisis on Commerce* Iu despite of the profound lassiludo caused by this iutermiuuhlu Eastern question, we are still obliged to return to it were it not for the pur pose of following the perpetnol oscillations which it undergoes, to the great detriment of the cummer cial nnd industrial interests of Europe. In fact, Ihe grnvo conflict which now exists between Russia and Turkey has, for three months pu»t, held in stis pease all tho great commercial enterprises already undertaken, and completely checked those which wore to he brought forth successively during the course of this year. At no epoch, liownvcr, was the field nmrn open for the development of great public works, umi never hud the spirit of enterprise a vaster urena for tho execution of its projects, however xtupendons they might uppeur. By tacit accord, uud in virtue of a common uccessity for turning aside into the chuuuol of industrial activity tho movement thut was lately loading the populations of llio Continent towards social und politicnl reforms, tho dillercnt Governments had mudo prodigious efforts to devel ops such new tendencies. Immense enterprises had been conceded by nil the Stales of North und Cen tral Eurojin. Italy, disinherited fur tliroo centuries from her, boheld Imr mIioi-ch busy again with u now life ; und, from the Italian Alps to tho Gull* of Tu- rentum, liuos of railroad were about to reunilo hot territory, so fatally sopuruted and parcelled out hy tlieir foreign possessors, uud by the long dissension- of Imr own citizens. Even Spain, which so long hold back from the civilizing movement that wus to carry along the ro*t of Europe, passed from Monkish to military despotism, without thu revolutions accomplished by her diildreu, ever appearing to ameliorate her de plorable financial condition—un administration cor rupt buyond all others, und a government as dntnatu- Ido as when it was in the hands of confesHors und favorites; yes, oven thisHpniu, wasut lengthurous ing from her dreary lethargy and entering upon u career of comparative progress, by no longer repuls ing the competition of foruigu capital und foreign workmen. Upon her soil, so marvellously endowed, enterprises in the metals were increasing nnd large establishments wore bring founded ; severul trunks of railway were projected, uud then tlm caualugc of tlm most important of her rivers wus planned uud pursued with energetic activity. Germany, thut might} body, so long divided by priued' Touds und antagonism*, and the conflict of potty interests, wus advancing, net lowurds thut po Itticul fusion droumod of by some eulhusiustic bruins hut to a much more protitiddo one, viz that of indu trial uud commercial union, of which tho Pi siuu Zollvereiu was the first essay, and which turuationul treaties huvo successively increased of late. In France, where the expunsivo force is so great that military dospotism would uot ho ablo to restrain it, whuro all tho social springs ure so robust that they defy thu repeated shocks of revolutions, und do not give way even under tho pressure of tyranni cal rule ; iu France, it hns happened this timo thut despotism has been obliged lo seek tor its momen tary cousecruliou, and its conditions of ephemeral duration, iu a clo-o ulliuuce with the industrial and commercial eleinout. Favoritism, it is true, hns had its open spoils iu the midst of this extraordinary movement of nil sorts of public enterprises, uud im portant grunts have been mudo to audacious in trigue and sbumcIcM corruption, disgraceful servi ces have beau ucquiitnd by tlm bestowal of favors druwu as u lust resurt front tho pockets ofsubscrib tug stockholders ; yet it must at least be admitted that a considerable impuUe has sprung up out ol uvett this strango state of things. Partners und joint venturers, one with Knottier, the new enterprises have profittod by the excellent position of their predecessors, whose profits, rising every duy, be came ut once both guurunteus and inciting cuutes to fresh ventures. Englund rendered powerful uid to «ho geuerul impulse by her industrial genius uud tho accetiiou ol* her immense capital, ilsviug uo inure greut liucs of railroad lo execute ut home—enjoying an unheard-of prosperity, due to an ocououiicul sys tem which the greut .States of tho Continent, Franct particularly, persist In rejecting, notwithstanding its lucoutostible advantages—with u budget which is iiivariuhly paid off with considerable surplusage; and, finally, with tho precious metals which Cultlbr- uia und Australia pour overy week into bor banks, and of which the source is continually enlarging: England placed her money uud her rare practical skill at llio service of all Ilia high industrial enter prises of the rest of Europe, and showed hersel: every day more and more disposed lo engage in them. At the present hour, this movement, if 0 has not altogether ceased, is, at leant, interrupted for a peri od of greater or less duration.

Travellers upou the Colorado and iu tributaries have long since spoken of tho existence of ancient ruius in different localities, embraced by the great American desert, lying upon botb, though princi pally upon tho wc*t bank of the Colorado, and be tween it aud the California runge of mountains.-— Even Bur on Von lluinboldt, during his researches upon tho American continent, discovered unmiuak- able evidence of the existence, at some greatly re mote period, of a race of people entirely unlike, and apparently superior to, those inhubiuug tho cooti nnnt ut the time of its discovery by Europeans. These evidences are becoming every day more and more conclusive, as the energy, love of travel and novelty of the American people lead them into earth's wildest fustuesses, aud over its most forbid deu, sterile and iuliotpitshlo wastes. We remark, as above, on perusing un urticle from the pen of our Ban Bernardiuo correspondent, giving un account uf au ancient pyramid, lately discovered upou the great dmert of tho Colorado, by a party of adven turer*, five in number, who ultempted to cross the desert in a westerly direction from a point on tl Colorado, at least two hundred tulles above itu co flueuce with the Gila 8an BEBNAnDt.NO Vai.ley, June 23, 1853. There lias been no little excitement here of late among the uutiquariuiis and tho curious, arising from tho discovery of an micieut pyramid upou the f reat Colorado desert, slid which fixes the probabi- ity beyond all dispute of the possession and oenu- puncy, at some grrolly remote perind of time, of thu American continent by h race uf people of whom all existing history is silent. A party of men, live in uumber, had ascended the Colorado for nearly two hundred miles above the mouth of the Gila, their object being to discover, if possible, soma large tributary from the west, by which they might ntuke the passage of the desert, ami enter California, by u now, more direct, uud eusier route, inasmuch us there uro knowu to numerous small streams upou the eastern slope of the mountains, thut are either lost in tho sundii of the desert or uuite with llio Colorado through tribu taries berotofore unknown.

He Hah not an Enemy in the World.— Hqs’ih! Well, we uro sorry for him! For he lias mighty little character who has no ene mies. He is nobody who has not got pluck enough to get un enemy. Give us rather a* our ideal of virtue aud manliness one who ha* many enemies—ono who has made them b) Ilia matihood and downright sincerity, candor and fearless love of the things he sees to bi right. The roan of earnest purposes, at rone will, aud love of principle for its own sake, must have enemies. But this, so far from being ill, is to him a good. The strong tree is more deeply rooted aud fustened in the soil b) the blast than the Hummer breeze. A inun never knows how much thorn is of him till hr has confronted and bravad hitter opposition.

From the present level of tho snmls that surround it, there are fifty-two distinct layers of stone, thut II avorage ut least two feet: this gives its present height onu hundred and four feet, so that before thu top was displaced, it must have been, judging from anglo of its sidss, at least twenty feet higher than present. How fur it extends boneuth tile surfuce of tho sands, it is impossible to determine without greut labor. Such is the age of tills iinmensestructura, that the perpendicular joints between tho blocks are worn away lo tho width of from five to ton inches ut the bottom of ouch Joint, and the entire of tho pyramid much worn by the storm*, the vicissitudes und tho rroding* of centuries, ns to make it eusy of ascent, particularly ttpori ono of its sides. Wo say ono ol it* sides, because a singular fuel connected with this remarkable structure is, that it iuclinec nearly ten degrees to oue sido of tho vertiuM or perpendi cular. There is not thu slightest probability thut L wi thus erect.-d, but the cause ot its inclination isn_. dly accounted for. By whom, ut whut age of the rid, and for wlmi purpose, this pyramid wus erected, will probably forever remain a hidden mys tery. The party, iu their unsuccessful attempt to cross tho desert ui this point, in their wanderings discovered other evidences, of u nature that would seem to make it certain that that portion of country upon the Colorado, now the most barren, was once the garden and granary of the continent, and the uboiio of millions of our raco.
