TUESDAY. OCTOBER 24, 1871.
The Augusta & Macon Railroad.
The deliberations at the Stockholders
meeting of this Company, which con*
vened in Augusta on the 2d inst., and
their results, wo Lad iutended noticing
earlier, iuasmuch as they were far more
than usually interesting and highly im
portant. Indeed, wc regard them as
cheering to the originators of this popu
lar road, and think they have not only
revived but mast greatly augment the
chances for the complete success of all
the objects of its undertakers. It was no
small triumph nor unmeaning strength
in that Convention which sustained Mr.
Hazlehurst’s policy and the direction
which he contributed towards its man
agement for the year that has just added
another to its existence; nor was it an
insignificant victory when he intercepted
the bullying would-be dictator of the
Railway system of the South, and
prevented him from subsidizing to the
Central Railroad Ring the increasing
value and growing prospects of the Au
gusta & Macon Railroad—aided, as it
seems Mr. Wadley was, by President
King having complicated the interests
of the Georgia Road, with those dictated
by the Central—an act for which we feel
that there can be no wish much less any
real cause, to blame Mr. King; but^we
are nevertheless unable to perceive what
increased facilities he expects will accrue
to his road either in crippling the infant
efforts of the Augusta and Macon route,
or by transferring its control into the
hands of President Wadley to be ma
nipulated by that gentleman in the in
terest and for the aggrandizement of the
Central’s Grand Trunk! It is true, Pres
ident King might thereby have been en
abled to continue the ‘rate of freights’
now existing between the Georgia and
Central, cs ‘the best that could possibly
be made’; and it may also be true that
the little demonstration of mutual ac
quiescence and affiliating views but fore
shadows that deeper aud broader alli
ance which rumor affirms is quietly ce
menting the rails of those eternally ap
proaching but never meeting lines, and
which it is designed shall extinguish the
fires md silence all the weaker whistles
that refuse to pay tribute to the Rob
Roys of the highways!
W T e congratulate President Hazle-
hurst for his valliant acts, and the tem
perate yet firm spirit he exhibited un*-
der the pressure that well nigh bore
him down ; and while we can see much
to admire in the conduct of both Messrs.
King and W T adley, we cannot assent to
their joint or separate appropriation of
all the railways that checker our State
and help divide its resources more pro
miscuously among our people. If, how
ever, ibe destinies of this Road are
doomed to other hands than its present
hoard and the immediate interest its
Directors have in charge, rather than
part with it to any Northern or foreign
Company, we hope it may be permitted
like the Milledgeville and Gordon aud
Eatonton branches, to glide as harmoni
ously as possible into the care and custo
dy of the Central, or probably better
still, into the Georgia Railroad Direc
tion.
COL. PETESSOU THWEATT.
In publishing the following article
which we take from the Constitutionalist,
we 6imply do an act of justice to Col.
Thweatt. We do not know that he is
seeking the office ; but if he is an aspi
rant, the Legislature by electing him will
be honoring themselves and rendering
valuable service to their constituents
end the public at large :
Editors Constitutionalist:—Allow me
through your columns to suggest to the
Legislature the propriety of electing to
the office of Comptroller General, Col.
Peterson Thweatt, the former efficient
Comptroller. When he first went into
that office, in 1855, although, from its
first establishment its duties were mani
fold, it was considered an office of little
or no importance ; hut upon being elect
ed Comptroller, Col. Theawtt found a
large amount of old tax and other claims
belonging to the State that had been
passed over by former officers and given
up as lost. By his industry and investi
gations, most if not all of these claims
were settled, and a large amount, some
$20,000 or $30,000, was soon brought
into the State Treasury. The tax sys
tem was rather loose and undigested, and
many things that were liable to taxation
were not returned and tbc taxes were prin
cipally thrown upon the land and slaves
apd other agricultural interests. The
taxes were then 9 or 10 cents on the
$100, but Mr. Thweatt was not in office
more than two or three years before,
through his efforts in amending the tax
laws, the taxes went down to 6£ cents
on the $100. Befora his gomg into of
fice the people of Georgia knew but lit-
tlq or nothing of the resources of their
mmmmm
State. There were no statistics provided
for or required by law, showing a con
solidated statement of the amounts of
the different objects of taxation in the
several counties in the State. But short
ly alter going into office he voluntarily
undertook the task of enlightening the
people of Georgia upon these things,
aud those tables showing the vast leiour-
ces of Georgia first appeared in the Con
stitutionalist in 1S56.
Before Mr. Thweatt’s going into of
fice, such was the meager mauner and
style of all reports made from the Comp
troller’s office, the people learned or
could understand bat little of the opera
tions of the State government—its finan
cial condition, its debt, assets, &c. Bat
from year to year such a succinct and
clear exposition of such things, and
such were their importance and interest,
from the mauner in which they were
presented, that they were generally cop
ied in the New York and other Northern
papers, and from no other source did
Georgia credit derive greater support
and enhancement, than from these re
ports of Mr. Tbweatt.
If in better and bonest days Mr.
Tbweatt’s services were of so much ben-
fit to the State, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that, at this time, alter Radicalism
has had full sway for several years, bis
services hereafter will be doubly valua
ble to the State. That Bullock has used
the State money most extravagantly and
villainously, no one doubts. If by close
investigation any of his rascally expendi
tures can be recovered, who is better cal
culated to detect them and expose them
and recover them than Mr. Thweatt 1
If there was ever a time when the
people of Georgia needed their most in
telligent, tried, experienced and honest
men in such offices a9 this, now is the
time they want them, and I propose Col.
Thweatt as the man for Comptroller
General. Baldwin.
Autumn and root-crops destroyed. They
are utterly destitute, and will require
full support, at least until another sea
son. Seveu couuties in our own State
are thus, in great part, utterly desolate.
Whole regious of country in Western
Michigan are in the same condition, and
these fires are still raging and destroy-
Georgia’s Turn Next
The New York Herald’s special of
Saturday has this interesting paragraph
“It is understood that the forthcoming
proclamation of martial law in South
Carolina is the beginning of an impor
tant movement against the Ku Klux.
Georgia will be the next State to be
warned and punished.”
Wc suppose this is more of Akerman's
deviltry. Aud we hope, says the Sa
vannah Republican, the lawless men who
have given a pretext for the contemplat
ed outrage on Georgia, will look for a
moment at the probable consequences of
their acts. The State invaded by armed
Federal soldiers, its government sub
verted, tke habeas corpus suspended,
and the best citizens liable to be thrown
into prisou without remedy, upon the
testimony of a vagabond scalawag or
worthless negro. This is their work.
But Judge Erskine seems determined to
demonstrate that there is no occasion
for a military occupation of Georgia.
The officers of his court are arresting
men by the score in the upper part of
the State under charges of Ku-Kluxism,
with what justice, we do not say. Any
way, the law is being vindicated byjthe
civil tribunals, and we believe Georgia
juries have long since lost patience with
heedless men who are bringing so much
trouble upon the State, and will punish
them when proved to be guilty. While
this is the case, there is no excuse for
declaring martial law, and the President
will not do it unless he has predeter
mined it with or without a cause.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Oct. 18 —The President,
by proclamation, suspends the habeas
corpus in the following South Carolina
districts: Spartanburg, York, Marion,
Chester, Laurens, Newberry, Fairfield
Lancaster and Chesterfield. The sus
pension exteuds to all arrests by the
United States Marshal, his deputies,
aud Federal officers, soldiers or citizens
aciing under the orders of said marshal,
his deputies or a military officer,
Assurances are made that there are
do injurious complications in General
Bulloch’s accounts. The announcement
that there was a run on the Freedmen’s
Bank is incorrect.
The Secretary of War directs com
manding officers to give such aid to the
Wisconsin suffeiers as they deem ad
visable.
The Attorney General has a dispatch
from North Mississippi stating that five
Ku-Klux, with their disguises complete,
Lave been captured.
Three-quarters of a million in reve
nue stamps have boon found safe in the
Government vault at Chicago.
The Augusta powder mills and land,
embracing in all 13l acres, were sold on
Thursday, 19th, as announced, and pur
chased by the city of Augusta for 810,-
300.
The Brown House, in Macon, has re
cently undergone great improvements,
having been repainted, recarpeted and
refurnished, at the same time it has been
enlarged.
The Vicksbnrg Times and Republi
can of the 7th says: ‘‘During the last
week in this county and city have oc
curred two murders, one suicide, three
fires, twenty one arrests besides four
persons have been bitten by mad dogs,
one of which proved fatal.”
The latest vegetable wonder in Haw-
kinsville is a bunch of sweat potatoes,
containing three red Spanish Bermudas
and one white yam growing on the same
vine.
Despite the repoits of planters and
speculators to the contrary, the sugar
crop this season in Cuba will be a very
large one. Labor has been plenty in all
the departments but that of the West,
and it is estimated that from fifteen to
forty per cent, more acreage is under
cane this year than there was last sea
son.
The Ohio Election.—According to
the footing up at Columbus the Ohio
Legislature stands thus : Senate—Re
publicans 17 ; Democrats 19 ; Demo*
cratic majority 2. House—Republicans
57 ; Democrats 47 ; Independent 1 ;
Republican majority over Democrats and
Independent 9. Republican ^majority
on joint ballot if the Independent votes
with the Democrats, 7 ; so that in any
event the Republicans will have at least
seven on joint ballot.

“Roasted Alive.”
Auful account of the Fire in Michigan
and Wisconsin—Twelve Hund/ed peo
ple Burned to Death.—Misery of the
Survivors.
Chicago, Oct 15.—The latest reports
from the terrible fires in Northern Wis
consin and Michigan represent the loss
of life as being fearful. Some seven to
eight hundred dead bodies had already
been recovered, and it is believed the
number will reach fully one thousand,
and the wounded two hundred. This
comprises at least three-quarters of the
population.
Milwaukee, Oct. 15.—Later accounts
from Northern Wisconsin confirm all pre
vious reports and rumors. The loss of
life in the neighborhood of the burned
village of Feshtigo will reach over 1200,
for 15 per cent, of those injured cannot
recover.
The fire tornado was heard at a dis
tance like the roaring of the sea. Balls
of fire were soon observed to fall like
meteors in different parts of the town,
igniting wherever they touched. Peo-
p'e rushed with their children in their
arms for a place of safety, but the storm
of fire was upon them, and enveloped
them in flames, smoke, burning sand and
cinders, and those that were unable to
reach the rivef were suffocated and
roasted alive.
This terrible scene happened on Sun
day night, the 8th of October, already
made famous by the Chicago horror. A
member of the relief committee sent
from Milwaukee with supplies says the
oulv survivors were those who were for
tunate enough to reach the water, many
throwing themselves into a mill-pond
and clinging to floating logs. A num
ber of these were drowned by be
ing thrown from the logs by maddened
horses and cattle that rushed into the
water. The fiery cyclone swept over a
tract of country eight or ten miles wide.
Every building, fence, and all the tim
ber were licked up clean by the tongue
of fire. The town of Feshtigo numbered
two thousand, one-third of whom perish
ed on that fearful uigbt.
Reports from the east shore of Green
Bay place the loss of life fully as high
as at Feshtigo. The same account states
that the immediate wants of the people
are supplied, but large amounts of pro
visions and clothing will be required for
the coming winter. Mayor Ludington,
of Milwaukee, publishes the following:
“The calamities that have befallen
our State and some of our neighboring
States are truly appaliog. Over 1,500
men, women and children have been
burned to death in Wisconsin alone;
their business, houses and farms, to a
large extont entirely destroyed, the very
soil having b$en burned, and all their
