From thn Republican. Uth IwL he City Council of Savannah, at their laqt :tinr, passed a resolution concerning tho alTuirs our Company, which douiand* your serious consideratiunt TJiey Apply to the Legislature or Gceggbto alter the Male of voting prescribed in yonr charter. Under the charter, the scale of voting is as fol lows: “for one share, ono vote;for two shore* nnd not excel d .ig Cri, two vote*/provided flint no person or body 1 politic shall be entitled to more than 60 votes.” Thus, J00 share* glvo SI votes. The resolution of Council neoka an amendment to authorize tho Mayor and Aldermen, to vote SO rote# on each 100 share* after the first 100, of the Corporation Stock, that is to vote 1,000 votes. This application is baaed upon tho ground timt it is the opinion of many judicious persons timt tho City of Savannah is not fairly represented “according to her interest and representative ca pacity," in comparison with other Stockholders, in the appointment of tiie Directors and “necessary agents to manage the affairs of the Company” I propose to discus* the merits of this proposi tion with duo respect to the public body which is the author of it Tho uuuibor of shares of Capital stock, known as tho old Stock, isJ-20,510. Thejnumber of shares of hew stock is 5,000. Tho old stock (20,510 shares) is hold os follows: by the Mayor and Aldermen of Savannah 5,000 shares; by resident citizen*, property holders of Savannah, 8,GG1 share*; and by person* roaiding out of the city 6,549 shares. The new stock is held a* follows: by norsons re siding in Savannah 3,315 shares, and by persons mi., nfll.fi nil.l 1 AlK .lln.na residing out of tho city 1,685 shnircs. Tlio uOOO shares of stock standing in tho name of tite Mayor and Aldermen belong to the proper ty holders of the city. The property in tho city is taxed to pay the annual interest of tho debt created to purchase the stock; and certain property is pledged to pay tho principal. The resident citizens, then, who own near three- fourths of the capital stock of the Company, aru at the same time chief owners of the C0)0 shades of the Corporation stock. It follows, conclusively as it appears to me, that tho interests of Savannah, ns a Corporation, aro' identical with tho interests of the individual residont stockholders. Tho lust mentioned persons constitute at the sanio time, a large and iniluentio! body of the constituents of the Mayor and Aldermen. The combined interest of tho eorplfralion and the individual resident shareholders, bus always controlled and does now control the direction und management of the Company. How then can it, truly, be said that tho city of 8avannahis not fnirly represented in cumpurixou with other Stockholders 7 But the Mayor and Aldermen think they ought to have more control in the appointment of “7)1- rectors and necessary Agent to manage the affairs of,the Company.’’ to what good end would tho grout ofsnch additional control operate 7 Would it operate in favor of tho interest of tho resident individual Shareholders? Then the grant is en tirely unnecessary, for these individuals already have tho power in their hands. Would it oporutu against tiie interest of these individuals? Then the grant ought not to be asked by the May or and Aldermen, because these individuals are chief reul owners of the Stock represented by the Mayor audAldonnen.. Or would itoporate ngaiust the interests of non-resident Shareholders? If that would be the effect, it is curtuinly, unfuirto the latter Shareholders to grant tho additional power —because, already, the poweris manifestly ou the “side of Savannah. The application of the Mayor and Aldermen is unreasonable, moreover, iu this—thoy ask timt they shall have additional votes, end yet do not ask timt individuals owning over 300 shares be allowed the tame privilege. There are two persous hold ers of old stock who owu 19SG shores. Why aro they to be so utterly disregarded? Why are seve ral other individuals who aro restricted to 60 votes as well a* tho Mayor aud Aldermen, to bo like wise neglected, Do the Mayor and Aldermen seek undue control over the Compnuy7 The Stockholders and all persous interested may bo sure that if tho Legislature ever undertakes to alter the churter, it will never commit an act of so gross injustice as to alloie the right to the Mayor ana Aldermen to vote 20 vote* ou euch hundred shares of stock, and to deny tho same right to in dividuals who aro or may become proprietors of over 300 shores. I apprehend this exclusive featuro of the application was overlooked by the Mayor aud Aldermen. I have asked to what good eud would the grant ofthis additional control to tho Mayor and Alder men operate, aud havo endeavored to answer tho enquiry. I now usk the Stockholders of the Company generally, but especially thoso who hold property in the city, and also all property-hold ers who are not StoekholtUrs, will you run no risk by the grout of this requost ofthe Mayor and Aider- men ? The propcrty-holdersarc tho persons bound for the'naymoiitof tho city debt. But the property- holders are nottbe only constituent* ofthe Mayor and Aldermen. It is not tho possession of proper ty, but tiie paymont of a poll tax which gives tho privilege to vote. Might not this now power, then, especially in times of political excitement, prove to be tho power oftliose voters who own no property, against the true interests of tiie holders of property? This is a question which a dema gogue might fear to put aud fear to nuswer, but it Mono of great import to you. I leuvo it for your own answer. • Tho prohibition to vote over 60 votes was in troduced into the charter upon mature reflection, by those who originally subscribed for stock in tho Company.

The prohi bition wo* intended to prevent a politicul body from controlling tlio ufluirs of tlio Company—to prevent it from appointing all “ tiie necessary Agents" to miuingo it* affair*. But it was in tended to do more. It was dosigned to provunt large capitalists whose interests might happen to be adverse to Snvaqnah from purchasing up stock to control tiie operations of tho Company. Let the scale bf voting he altered, and let every hun dred share* of stock give 20 votes, und where is the security against tiie introduction here of cup. i ai from another and a rival State, enough to buy the cobtroi ofthe Itoud and to destroy our city? The Jute actiou of the Mayor and Aldormcn is gratuitous ou their part—'although it inay hnvo sprang from a siucero desire to promote tho in terests ofthe city. They were, not moved to it by any call of tlio persons who own the stock standing in their name. They could not havo been tnovod by any personal interest, for all tho members of Council togothor hold but 12 shares of stock in tiie Company. Why then has the movement been made at this time ? Do they EOtePtyin dfiuty mismanagement of tho Cmnpn- ay’s business ?

But will not their moral iuflueiico ami effect upon foreign nations be most prejudicial to our character, most injurious to our grentness, most lamontablo in rcforcnco to our existing rclutions with Mexico ? Can any patriot, (wo speak regardless of party) can any patriot contemplate this effect without a feeling of unonsiucss for his country, of unmitigated indignation against those who are disposed to stab her to the heart ? In the midst of war, anti-war meetings nre held in the most populous aud controlling portions of tlio country. They aro represented in the pub lic journals of the times as being large, respecta ble and enthusiastic. They nre called together to respond to tlio views aud sontiment* of a man who has filled u lurge space in tho world’s oye whp is known to havo been for years a prominent light umong American statesman { who was a warm supporter of tho lust war with England, who was born in a Southern und resides in slave-holding Stuto, aud whoso former history, full of tho narrative of tlio high-toned, fervid olo- quonco of an earlier day, oro dark ambition had corrupted tlio fountains of fooling iu bis heart, still holds out tlio pretensions of u patriot for him. Thu expressions of thoso mootings nre most violent against tho policy of our own government, most abusive and insulting to tho President of the na- —not the country's war. The sovereign people nro doclarad to be opposed to tho war; and the idea.is hold out to the world that the people will oxertthoir power, and bring a corrupt, unjust and ruinous war to a speedy closo. The great ques tion, which it is believed by foreign tiations will fiually destroy our Union, bus boon rudely ap proachod nnd handled. The Southorn institu tion of slavery, so completely interwoven with the destining of a largo portion of tho nation, that uo human eye can di.scern in the future any change in tho relations of tho master and the slave, which must not inevitably result in tlio ruin and misery of both, is pronounced a curse, a.wroug, a reproach, a disgrace, and tho most in- suiting allusion* nro publicly made, aud vocifer ously applauded, in reference to the tyrnnuical conduct mid customs of tho slave-holder. These allusions nro uindoix response to tho soutimenN nnd opinions expressed by tlio citizen of a slavo- holding Stnto. The constitutional rights of that portion ofthe Union are to be wrested from them, by mun who claim to be tho suppqrters of tlio Constitution. Ay ell may wo nsk, with an emotion of appre hension, what is to be tho effect of tiiese mani festations of fooling upon tho views aud opinions ofthe other nations of the world ? Not .before, in tiie history of tlio war with Mexico, havo they reached such mi extrema as now. True tlio lead ing Whig journals of tliin country have been noi- #y and nbusivo of the Government, deuuneiatoiy ofthe war, and prophetic of its speedy, and to us dishonorable cluso.

During that time it is true that strange occurrences have taken place iu the political world, but wo do not know that our government has been revolutionized, or the great principles upon which it is based; yet during thut period a most remarkable "change has come over tiie spirit" of our neighbors' dream, upon a most important subject.

The Army, Hon. W. L. Maroy, Secretary of War, in his report, of 2nd inst., again recommends a retired list of oificers of the Army, who, by age or iufirin- ities have become unablo to perform active duties. The experience of tho past year, he justly remarks, has added force to the considerations in favor of such a measure. The Secretary also concurs in the acting Sur geon General’s recommendation of an army asy lum or retreat for tho soldiers, who, after faithful service, will retire from the army, worn out in service, disabled by wounds, or permanently im paired in health, by exposure andhardships, with out tiie means of comfortable support or the abil ity to earn it Wehope to seo Congress promptly acting after such suggestions. Hospital Surgeons. Secretary Marcy recommend* six hospital Sur geons to be appointed to bo continued, in office only to tiie end of the present war. Further Operations, Sccrotary Marcy, in his Report, remorks :— Our further operations must, in my opinion, be conducted in ono of tho three following tnodas:—“first, to take and hold an indemnity line ; to recede from all places and positions now occupied in advance ofit, and >cease from all ag- gressivo operations beyond timt lino; second to overrun tho whole country, and hold all tho principal places in it by permanent garrisons; and, third, to return what wo now possess, open tlio linos of communication into the interior, and extend our operations to other important places, as our means and the prospect of advantages shall indicate—keeping a disposable force always ready, within approachable limits, to annoy the enemy, to seize supplies, enforce contributions, aud frustrate bis efforts to collect means and as* soluble troops for the purpose of protracting the war." After discussing their respective merits, tiie Secrctaiy declares his preference as follows :— “The third mode presented is, in my judgment, preferable to tho others. Beyond certain limits, it admits of expansion and contraction; but as a fixed condition, all now held is to be retained, and no part surrendered, but in compliance with treaty stipulations. This plan also contemplates further acquisitions extending to other important points, more or less numerous, as circumstances may warrant."

In view of tills pledge, the Legislature of Tennessee, doubtless, passed nu act on the 24th of January 1838, entitled “an act to authorize tiie State of Georgia to extend her Western and Atlantic Rail Rond from tlio Georgia line to some p6int on the Eastern margin of the Tennessee River—which act doclares, that the State of Georgia shall be entitled to all the privi leges, rights and immunities,(except tho subscrip tion on the part ofTennossee) and be subject to the same restrictions, as far as they are applicable, os are granted, made, and prescribed, for the benefit government nnd direction ofthe 'Hiwas- see Rail Road Company.’ By the 3d Section ofthe act referred to, it is provided,, that the fore going rights-and privileges are conferred upon the State of Georgia, on condition, that whenev er application is made, she will grant and con cede similar ones, and to ns great an extent to the Stato of Tennessee, or her incorporated authorities." It is obvious flint tlio extent ofthe grant to Geor gia, under the act referred to, is to be ascertained alone by reference to an net of tho General As sembly of the State of Tennessee, entitled “an act to incorporate the Hiwasseo Railroad Com pany," which act, it is proper toremnrk, from the copy herewith transmitted, does not appear to have the usual credence of having passed the Le gislature ofthis State, although attested by the Speaker ofthe Senate and House. In addition It will bo remembered that the validity of our graut is defended upon granting like privileges to the State.of TeimoHsee, orcompaniesincorporat- ed under tlio authority of that State, whenover ap plication is made to this Stato, far that purpose. This application is now made tinder the author ity ofthe resolution to which I havo called your attention. I apprehend tlio Legislature will most cheerfully carry out by suitable legislation, these principles of reciprocity in regard to tho public works ofTenuessoo in tho process of completion, or such other works as may from time to time bo found desirable to afford suitable facilities to the citizens of tlio two States whose interests nro so closely connected. It becomes, however, desira ble to determine, os it is now believed to lie the settled polioy of Tennessee os well as of our owu Stato, to connect Nashville with tlio Atlantic by moans of a continuous Railway, what additioual legislation on tiie. part of either is necessary, to secure that object. In the accomplisluneut of an enterprise of so much magnitude, evory minor consideration involving no principle or surrend er of sovereignty dangerous to the State, should be yielded by each to tne other on terms of perfect reciprocity, and even liberality; nothing Icbs than this m becoming the character of Georgia to offer or to accept. Under existing laws it will be seen that that portion of the Western and Atlantic Rail road from tho State line to Chuttanooga, is ex empt from taxation fortwonty years after com pletion— a similar provision will be expected in (iivorofthe Railroads of Tonnosseo,running over any portion of our territory. If exemption from taxation for a period of twentyyears was desira ble to Georgia, as a protection of that portion of our road in the State of Tennessee while in the process of construction, is is not quite ns desira ble, that after completion, in order effectually to S uard tlio interest* of this Stnto, that Tennessee iould grant an exemption from taxution, to con tinue as long as the road may be used as a railway, Unlesstliisfiberal policy is adopted in rcforcnco to tlio public works ortho two States within the territory of the other, there may arise, froui tho taxing ^powers upon the property and road of cither State within the limits of tiie other, serious misunderstandings, destructive of tlio harmony necessary for tho buccoss of their respective works, tot not the improbability of tho abuse of power, at a distant period, deter us from guarding against, it now, and especially as tiie Treasury of this State, may alwuys oxpect to enrich itsolf, as much by yielding up tho right to tax Roil Road proporty belonging to Tennessee or its citizens, ns it will by the exercise of this right, provided we (secure the like immunity for our Rail Roud, nnd other property attached, within the limits of tho State of Tennessee. I would therefore very respectfully suggest, that the Legislature offer to tho Stato of Tennessee, total exemption from all taxes on Rail Hoads char tered by that Stato. and terminating in Georgia, or passing over any portion of our territory, niuf connecting with tho Western & Atlantic Rail Rond, upon tho condition that our Rail Rond nnd proporty attached, in that State, lie in like manner exempted. I avail myself of this occa sion to recommend to tho General Assembly, in { [ranting to tho Nashville and Chattanooga Ruil toad tlio right of way through the county of Dado, to prescribe, ns a condition, that four years bo allowed this Stato to complete thut portion of tho Western and Atlantic Rail Road from the Stato lino to Chattanooga, instead of tlio time uow prescribed, und in directtorms.all tiie rights, privileges, und securitie, to tho Western & At lantic ltnil Rond, granted by tlii* Stato to tho Nashville & Chattanogn Rail Road. Believing it may boncceptible, I trdusinit a copy ofthe act ofthe General Assembly of Tennessee,entitled an “act to incorparate tlio lliwasseo Rail Road Com pany," aud also the uct passed Dec lltli, 1845, to incorporate tho Nashville and Chattanooga Rail Roud. GEORGE W. TOWNS. Tho House has taken up the special order of tlio day, being tho bill to remove tiie Seat of Gov ernment to Atlanta. Mr. Harris of Baldwin is now delivering a forcible argument ngainst it.— The debate will bo protracted. I cannot surmise who will uppear its champions and opponents I aupposo tho up country members will be lor passing tiie bill—but l tbiuk it will fail. or something abovo 11 percent per annum. Com plete this road to tlio ChataUooohee River, a few miles farther, and its profits will be immense, as it will necessarily become the great thoroughfare forthe Atlantic travel of the United States and the great mail. New commercial relations will bo established, and social intercourse will be happily promoted, not only benefitting the agricultural in terest of Southwestern Georgia, by developing its resources and increasing its population, but would facilitate tlio accomplishment of a high na tional purpose, in connecting the Gulf and the At lantic,Ocean, thereby avoiding the dangerous nav igation around the Florida point. Tho Pensaco la Company, now freed from its embarrasments, and having already fifty miles of their road grad ed,wilt diverge iu a direction to connect with tliin road: and thore can be uo doubt timt this Peusu- cola road will uow be built. The General Gov ernment will grant to that Company the right of way through tiie public lands in Florida and Ala bama, with liberal grunts as a donation, urged to do so from the great increase iu value which the road will give to tlio romaining lands, as also from the fact that Pensacola is the great naval depot on the Gulf, and Savannah is tho most western At lantic port. Thus by encouraging tlio comple tion ot this route, to connect wall tiie Southwest ern Railroad, these two points will be brought within thirty hours of each other; uffording con veniences to tho General Government, the bono- fits and utility of which are so ovident to overy one, that comment is unnecessary. ' Your Committeo have boendeoply impressed with the advantages the South-western Railroad would give to tho State of Georgin, tho almost unbounded profits that would result from it, and the lateral branches that would diverge from and connect with it, and its almost' certain extension to far distant points. Columbus will find it to be her interest to connect with it.

Minority Report of tlio Coimnlttco on Internal Improvement. The Minority Committee on Agriculture and Internal Improvement, to whom was referred tiie petition of sundry citizens asking assistance from the State to aid iu completing the South western Railroad, having had tho same under consideration, beg leave to i>resent the following Report: Four Committee cannot doubt tho permanent utility of a Railroad through the Southwest coun ties of Georgia. Thoy stand isolated from the benefits that spring from our system of Internal Improvements. Whilst nature,hus denied to that highly fertile section of Goorgia fine navigable streams, and in consideration of the distance from any place of Commercial importance, it cannot bo otherwise than apparent to every reflecting miud, that the want of a proper outlet to market has greatly hindered the development of its re sources, as a few statistical facta will sufficiently illustrate. The white population ofthe counties through which a road would run, or necessarily bo tributary thereto, to wit: Dooly, Houston, Macon, Marion, Sumter, Stewart, Randolph, Leo, Baker, Early and Decatur, was, in 1845, 56, 209, whilst tlio number of blacks was, 37,602. r The increaao in the white popnlation, from 1840 to 1845. was at the rate of a little over 15 per cent, whilst that ofthe black population was about 37 per cent, for thn five years. In the counties most convenient to a market, the inurease in the black popiilation has boon at the rate of 75 per cent, whilst in the couhtibs more remote from market, though having the advantage of a more fertile soil, better adapted to the cultivation of ootton, the inereaso has not oxceeded from 10 to 25 per cent The cotton crop of 1840, in the above named counties, was estimated, by the Amoricus Con vention, at near 100,000 bales; and it woald not be an extravagant calculation to put tho amount capable of being produced In these counties, and which would be nnnually raised iu cnusequeuce oCtho increase ofpopulation, particularly that of the blacks, and the extended agricultural interest that would follow tiie completion of the South western Railroad, at 200,000 bales. Thoir pro- ducts, now great, would bo doubled, trebled, and quadrupled, iu A very few yenra after this work must and will connect with it. A route from Mo bile to tho mouth oftlio Ohio rivor is uow being surveyed, and tho stock nonrly taken up, author ising the belief that the road will oro long bo built; and Georgia will be tho recipient of tne almost incalculable benefits that will result from the trade and travel through this connection with tlio Gulf aud all that vast region that is washed by its waters, tho West Indies, Texus, Mexico, and South America—aud also from the connection with the rich valley of the Mississippi and tlio Great West. And this can bo effected, on the part of tlio citizens of Georgia with an expense a little over a million of dollurs, about a third of what the Western aud Atlantic Railroad has al ready cost. Iu view of thoso considerations, and the ndvnn- tages that inevitably inure to tiie State of Georgia from the completion of the Southwestern Rail- roud, in tlio opinion of your Committee, tho Leg islature ought to render such uid to tho citizens of Southwestern Georgia, with restrictions sufficient to secure the State from loss, as will ennblo them to complete tho road. To doubt the willingness ofthe Legislature to graut to tlio people of that section of the Stato the assistance asked for, is to impugn its liberality and justice. Georgia has spent threo millions and a half of dollars in im provements necessury to dovelopo tho resources of tho Cherokee rogiun of tho state. Not one cent has ever beou giveu to any projeet which cau uid even reinotmy tho Southwestern coun ties, to relievo them ofthe commercial and agri cultural difficulties with which they are environ ed. During this profusb outlay of money, they havo nobly submitted to overy sacrifice which has been deemed necessury for the public good.— Taxation has been increased to compFeto the great works of internal improvements carried on by the Stato. Yet not one word of dissatis faction or disaffection hns over been heard from the people of that section ofthe State in op position to tho policy of the Logislaturo. With opon purses, they have inetevery demand neces sary to sustain the good fuith and advunco the E rosporitv ofthe State. For many years they ave paid into the Treasury ofthe Stato as large a proportion of taxes as any other given number of counties in tho State, without having derived any advantage or profit from its profuse expenditure in works of internal improvement. ’They therefore feel that they havo a right to ask, trusting that their appeul will not ho iuvnin, for assistance uccussu- ry to enable them to complete this road, so im portant to their interest, and ho advantageous to tho prosperity ofthu Stuto of Georgia. In consideration ofthe uhovo facts, your Com mittee would recommend tiie pussnge of tlio fol lowing Bill. B. II. PERKINS, JAMES A. NISBET, NELSON TIFT, FRANCIS S. BARTOW, CONSlGIfCKS. Per Steamer Wm.
