reasoning bold lood u to the Congressional nomine# t I
think hot; because we must have a candidate who tan
command not only the party vote hot something more. It
is a matter which more immediately concerns the people of
the district then the candidate for Governor: hence the
necessity of bolding the convention In a central part of the
district,,(say, at Hinosvllle or Reedivtlle j the latter, I think,
the moat eligible,) where the counties of the district can bs
directly represented, and tolly heard In inpport of their
respective friends, and the most available candidate select
ed, without a reeoit to proxies. The delegates from each
county, os well as their friends, would then fcol hound to
go to wolk In good earnest for tho election of the nominee.
All would then feel bound, by the rules or party honor, to
exert themselves for the success of the nominee.
It is the only course, in my poor judgment, that can In
sure unanimity among tho member* of the party, and It la
tho only course, beyond question, that will Insure the sue*
oess of the nominee.
There are my own views, as well as those of many others
with whom I have conversed. Yours, respectfully,

Of this, $500,000 was expressly reserved to be taken

Among tho frulta of tho present truce In Europe,

from London to Calcutta and Canton. Tho great work
is already commenced, and tho line has been actually
made from London to this city. Tho govornmont ol
this country lias also just entered into a contract with
Mr. John lirett who represents a large company of
British capitalists—the same which carried the line
acrou the British Channel—for carrying it on from
tho main land at Spezla to the farther extremity of
the Island of Sardinia, in tho midst of tho Mediterra
nean ; and Franco will see that it is continued thence
to the provinco of Algiers on the coast of Africa. Thu
interest that England has in its continuance to her
rich possessions In the East is obvious enough, with
out specification.
Tho company has engaged to have tho line from
Spezla to tho island completed within 18 months, at
its own risk and expense, and the government gives
it a monopoly for 60 years, when it will become the
property of the State. The cost is estimated at
$600 000. It !b provided, among tho details of tho
contract, that the government shall have the free use
of the lino for its despatches, and a certain small In

And whereas the Savannah and Albany Railroad Compa
ny has this day been organised by the election of President,
IHreeton and other officer#, and the adoption of Articles of
Association and By-Laws, In aocordance with the charter
granted by the State or Georgia—
RaoUtd, That this Company will cheerfully co-operate
with the Company represented br Mr. Kelly, or any other
company of capitalists which he may form, in any such
manner aa wemsy.lnour discretion, properly and legally
do, for tha purpose of carrying out our mutual object, the
construction of a Railway from Savannah across the State
of Georgia to the line of Alabama.
The Company was organized, and these resolutions
passed la August. The purpose of thoBQ interested
In the enterprise then was, totako no farther Bteps
until the promised foreign subscription was forth
coming. Subsequently—to wit, in November—it
was determined to commence operations forthwith.
The corporation was called upon for a subscription of
$500,000, which it made, on the condition that private
citizens should subscribo a like amount. This sum-
one million dollars—could he relied upon to carry the
toad. to the Alatomaha. Foreign capital would take
It from that river westward to Albany, and thence
Into Alabama.
But foreseeing the possibility that tho enterprise
might be left entirely upon her hands, Savannah, in
making her subscription, reserved to herself, in spe
cific words, the right, in that event, to proseente it
either In the direction of Albany or of some other
paint, aa might seem beat to her. Col. Tift, the re
presentative of the Albany interest, waa present, con
curring in and advocating tho resolutions wbicb were
passed.
If now, Savannah, on reaching the Alatamoha with
her road, shall conclude to provide the means to ex*
tend it to Florida, whether at Hamilton County or
it the junction of the Chattahoochio and Flint—
by what right can she be charged with acting in bad
faith to Albany? Albany has not subscribed, and
probably will .not snbscribo, one cent to construct tho
road from .Savannah to the Alotamaba. This city
will have built fifty or sixty miles in her direction.
The way will be open for an extension to Albany,
whenever the funds which were relied upon to build
to that place shall be forthcoming.
Girard and Mobile Railroad.
The Journal, of yesterday, contains an item of in
telligence, reported by telegraph, of very high impor
tance to Savannah. It is tho subscription by the city
of Mobile of a million of dollars to tbo Girard Bail-
road. We bad already learned, from the papers, that
Ur. Hardaway, President of the road, was in Mobile
seeking a subscription. Bat we confess we were not
prepared for this noble exhibition of pnblio spirit on
the part of that city, so soon after tbo subscription of
two or three millions to the Mobilo and Ohio Road.
Mach as she has done, Savannah has done nothing
equal to this. It secures the construction of tho road
beyond question or peradventure: a work which,
considering onr connection with Columbus, (opposite
Girard,) is of little leu importance to tho seaport of
Georgia, than to the seaport of Alabama.
A “ Citizen” asks, through tho Journal, whether
this subscription by Mobile to the Girard road, Insnr-
ing its completion, will not supersede the necessity
of a subscription by Savannah to a road to Pensacola ?
Wo answer unhesitatingly, No t It will only make
It important, and all important, that onr road to Pen
sacola shall be ran so far to the south as to be brought
as llttlo as possible in competition with that irom
Savannah to Mobile, by way of Coiambus and Girard.
We wont to bring the prodneta of Lower Georgia and
Middle and West Florida to this port. That, tho
road to Mobile will not do. Indeed, now others are
doing so mbeh for ns b the time that we should do
tlM» more for ourselves..
■ TUAorwalk Catastrophe.
Telegraphic dispatches to the New York papers,
dated Norwalk, 7th, P.M., state that bnt one more
body had been recovered that day, the wounded are
. doing well, most of them leave on Monday. The
Inquest adjourned to Monday, without making a re-
pOrt. At six o’clock fifteen bodies remained st the
station. The legislative committee were to vbittbe
scene of the disaster on Monday. Several additional
bodlee bad been recognised. Among those not re
cognised ore three females and two children, one
•bout four years old, the other six months. The oth

tho part of this city, of her purpose to unite with tho
peoplo of Middle Florida, In tho construction of onr
proposed Railroad from tho Alatam&ha through Mid
dle and West Florida, Jo Pensacola. The reasoning,
wo confess, seems to us unanswerable.]—Eds. Ueor.
Connection Between Savannah odd tho Gulf.
The more we reflect upon this subject, tho more are wo
satisfled that our citjr is. at this moment, in a position which
requires the exercise of cool, sound judgment and prompt
action, A connection by Railway between the Gulf of Mex
ico and a good Atlantic port, has been of late much mooted,
and we of this city hate maintained, that Saranuati should
be the eastern terminus of the lino, and I’ensacola the wes
tern. We will not, at this time, present tho many and for
cible reasons why we should not, by any supinenens or in
discretion on our part, lose tho opportunity of directing this
groat road orossing for our advantage. We take it that our
readers are well informed on the subject.
We desire, however, to impress on our follow-citizens tho
fact that we cannot, with impunity, remain quiet much
longer. We must soon decide and publish what we will do
towards the construction of the road. The million of dol
lars heretofore subscribed will bullil & read to tho west aido
of the nver Alatamaha. So far so good. But it bohoovos
us to declare what is our purpose beyond that riror. We
cannot, we are constrained to say, with our present impres
sions, have our action beyond the Alatamaha a matter of
doubt or uncertainty. We favor the declaration of our
purpose to be to unite, on (air terms, with the pooplo of
Middle Florida in carrying the work through. Wo know
that tho peoplo of Florida generally are alivo to the great
importance of tho connection between the Gulf and tho At
lantic. In tho eastern section of that State, the line from
the St. Johns River to Pensacola, is tho favored lino, and, as
a general proposition, it may bo said that tho pooplo of the
middle section nowhero oppose that viow. But they, of
Middle Florida, fearing that tho power of the State is not
sufficient to accomplish the enterprise of building tho Con-
tral Road from Pensacola to the St. Johns, aro ready to moot
tho people of Georgia at a fair point on tho boundary bo-
tween tho States, and to subscribo at least $800,000 to tho
work. They believe that such an arrangement will be sat
isfactory to a majority of their fellow-citizens, who will, If
it be made, forego their Captral Road project. It seems to
bo very clear that, unless Savannah moves soon towards
tho inhabitants of Middle Florida, thoy will immediately
abandon the idea of a connection with Savannah, and unite,
thoroughly, with East Florida to build the Contial Road.—
When the people of our sister State unite on the Central
Golf Road, it will be built, for with that union there will
come an appropriation of tbo large internal improvement
fund to tho work. Tho work would bo considered ono of
solf-preservation.
Wo think there aro strong Indications tliat Charleston
would prefer a terminus on the St. Johns to a terminus at
Savannah. We call attention to the following remarks,
which we find in the Floridian of the 30th ult,:
“ We have heard it stated that the citizens of Charleston
will probably subscribe liberally for the building of a Rail
road from somo point on tho Atlantio in our State, perhaps
St. Mary’s, to the-Uulf of Mexico, and that they will seek
to avail themselves of the Gulf aud Atlantic Railroad char
ter for that purpose. Indeed, It is intimatod that they will
not require tho aid of subscriptions within our own State.
Tho commercisi relations botwoen Charleston and Eait Flo
rida aro being rapidly extended, and the Charleston mer
chants are securing to themselves the advantage of a direct
trade with that soction. They have established a line of
steamers by which the trip between Charleston and Jack
sonville is accomplished in as short a timo as tho Savannah
boats roqulre to perform thoirs. We are informed that they
bavo already drawn to themselves a largo portion of the
trade which Savannah hitherto enjoyed.”
There is to boa Stato Railroad Convention at Taliohassco,
on the first Monday in Juno next. The policy of Florida
will then bo dlsdoiod. There can bo no doubt about a con
centration of effort on tho Central line, if we (all to unite
and co-operate with tho people of Middle Florida. How
can we, then, with a just sonso of the responsibility resting
on us, fall to glvo tho assuranco that our first and groat ob
ject is to join tho people of Mhldlo Florida In the work of
opening a railroad to FensacoU. If the Central Florida
toad *h*U be determined on at the State Convention in
June, who can expect to carry a railroad from Savannah to
Pensacola 7 It would not be possible to carry out such an
enterprise in the free of such great power and competition.
Now, the prize is within our grasp, but unless wo come oat
openly and distinctly as to our purposes, wo ihall be com
pelled to build a road, at our own cost, to the St. Mary’s
River, and ask of Florida a charter thenco to a junction
with her Central line, or remain forever cut off from the
Gulf connection.
Will any one undertake te say, in view of this state of
things, that we aro under any obligation te Albany 1 Our
good frith should be kept everywhere; that faith was
pledged to this extent, namely—to go to Albany when the
funds should he provided to build the road from the Alata-
maha to that place. It Is not, In any tense, the Interest of
Savannah to pay for a Railroad to Albany—to furnish the
whole, or by frr the greater part of two millions of dollars,
to build a road of 160 miles in length through, for its whole
length, the most nnprodnetive region in Georgia. Any ad
vocate of an Albany road would be compelled to admit
that an extension to the Chattahoochee would be absolutely
necessary to get the hope of ever receiving a dividend.
The counties of Clinch, Lowndos and Thomas are more than
ten times as valuable as ths eountles of Appling, Telfair
and Irwin, and the production of the counties of Middle
Florida are moro valuable to ns than anything which conld
be promised by a road to Albany.
Wear# sensible of this fret—that the money can nevtr
be proenred here to build the Albany Road; and, knowing
this, and believing that the money can be obtained In part
here, and In ample quantity la Now York, to build the roald
from the Alatamaha to the Florida line, at a suitable point
fbr the middle region of that State, we cannot forbear to
nrgo upon onr fellow-cicizens and onr City Council tbe ne
cessity of saying, at onco, that we mean to go to Florida,
and not to Albany, unless funds come from elsewhere for
that purpose. When those funds come, the road to Albany
will surely be built.

Letter from Kit Carson—Route to Uio Pa
cific—South Pass.
Tho following letter, for a copy of which wo are In*
lohted to tho editors of ’the Intelligencer, will, con
sidering tho source from which it comes, be read with
Interest nt this time, when tho question of tho most
eligible Railroad route to tho Foclflo is occupying so
largo a share of tho public attention:
Santa Fe, March 27,185f.
Sm: I find the following sentence in a letter ad*
dressed by you to tho Santa Fe Gazette:
“I seo a writer in tho New York Tiibune, who pro
fesses to have visited Fort Laramio in 1840, and then
and there saw Mr. Kit Carson, quotes that gcntloman
os in favor of tho South Pass. I have ventured to
doubt tho statement that Mr. Carson prefers tho route
through Utah,and have claimed him as a friend to
tho New Mexican route. I wish ho would write to
mo as soon os may bo. and give mo his opinion, with
all the testimony which hisvaluablo experience and
sagacity on such subjects cau supply. ”
You aro perfectly right in claimiug me os a friend
to the route through New Mexico. 1 consider it as
far, far preferable to tho route through Utah Terri
tory. I know but ono route across the continent
which can bo traveled whiter aud summer, and over
a remarkably level country, and tbnt oue must cross
the Bio Graudo del Norte witnin fifty or sixty miles
of Santa Fe, and from thenco as direct to tho Cali
fornia Mountains as tho nature of tho country will
allow. The pass known ns " Walker’s Pass” through
the mountains is a good one, and has no very abrupt
ascents or descents. There is another pass higher
up, - which is neatly if not quite aa good as "Walk
er’s.” That comes in some where about ono of tho
" Four Creoks,” and Dr. Nagle, of Santa Fe, has men
tioned to mo tho fact that u reliable and intelligent
man, an old mountaineer, and whose statements I
know aro to bo depended qpon, having passed from

Byron thus commemorated tho double event:

There is no manner of doubt that tbo trail from Al
buquerque by Zunl, along the head waters of tho
streams that run into the uila, and then crossing tbo

road that can be found. Tho only .objection that 1
know of is, that a great part of the country along
there Is very barren,in fact so bad that the wolves
can’t make a living, and then it comes into the Tulare
Valley at Its very southern extremity, nnd yon have
to run up 300 or 400 miles to strike the bay of San
Francisco—so that if you could made a little more
lothing it would be better. Mr. Fremont bad always
txpressed a wish to me to examine the country along
tie southern limit of tho basin, and if his explorations
lad not been Btopped, that would bavo been his next
mterpriso.
On the other band, I do consider tho road by tho
South Pass as almost impracticable. I have no faith
il it. Tho snows lie early and late in both tho Rocky
aid Snowy mountain countries. It is easy enough
tee ascent ofthe Snowy mountains going up from the
eistern side, but on tho west it falls right off, and it is
Ike going up a ladder to get out ofthe California val-
leys to the top of the mountains any where that I
know of so far north. As to the snows, you folks that
live in tho States know nothing about them. Why,
sir, it snows harder aud longer, and faster and more
of )t, high up in these California mountains than per
haps any other placo in God's world. I am not alono
in my opinions on the subject about which you have
written to me. Any old mountaineer that knows
anytliing about, it will say that tho Southern route
through Now Mexico is the best.
I am, Sir, yours very truly.

Mrs. Howard.
Tho namo of Mm. Howard has of late been promi
nently associated with that of Louis Napoleon, and
rumor has generally pointed to tho State of Maryland
as her native place. An article to this effect recently
appeared in tho Baltimore correspondence of ono of
our exchanges, and tho statement has been oommon
to the press of this country and Europe, and uncon-
trodictcd. Its appearance yesterday In the Sun, and
quite unintentionally by the way, inasmuch as it was
not cut out for publication, has led finally to an au
thoritative contradiction of it, a member of tho family
unquestionably alluded to having called upon us for
that purposo. Wo are assured by him, that tho Mrs.
Howard recently discarded by Louis Napoleon, la an
English woman, the daughter of a London merchant,
and formerly an actress. Tho Mrs. Howard, with
whom it is alleged, public rumor half confounded
her, we are informed, Iras been dead four years; that
she died in Paris, and was attended in her last illness
by her mother, by several of tho friends of her family
who were then in Paris, and by a priest formerly of
Baltimore, well known and highly esteemed hero;
and further, that her remains were sent to this coun
try, and now repose in Greenmouut Cemetery.—Bal

A Monumental Masonic Temple to the Mem
ory of Washington.
The Masonic brethren of Fredericksburg, Va., in
tend to raiso a monumental temple to the memory of
Washington. Tho 4th of November next will bo tho
centennial anniversary of tho day when Washington
was first initiated into tho mysteries of Masonry.—
This event occurred in tho Fredericksburg Lodge,
No. 4, on tho 4th of November, 1752, nnd is recorded
on tho minutes of the Lodge, which wo bavo recently
hid the privilege of inspecting. At that time Wash
ington was but twenty years of age. On Noverabor
tho 6th it is recorded that ho paid his initiation fee,
£2 3s. March 31, 1753. he passed Fellow Graft, and
August the 4th, following, was raised Master Mason.
There have been somo disputes abont tho Lodge in
which he was first initiated, but these records settle
tho fact conclusively. Tho design of tho Fredericks-
birg brethren is to erect a templo os a slirino for a
statuo by Powers of the Illustrious brother, who will
bt represented clothed in bis Masonio regalia. Three
thousand dollars have been contributed to the work
by the Grand Lodges of Massachusetts, Virginia and
Alabama, and by subordinate Lodges and individn-
as. Au effort is now being made to increase this
sim,aud it is presumed that it will meet with suc
cess.
There is a story told of a Roman Catholic priest
remarkable for his humility. He was the son of a
poor fisherman. His piety and leamiug recommend
ed him for promotion, and he never concealed the
humbleness of his origin, for though he rose rapidly
from dignity to dignity, ho always spread a net upon
his dinner table as a memorial of his piscatorial ex
traction. Tho reigning Pope died, and the College
ef Cardinal determined to choose this modest priest
as his successor. After his election he invited them
and his friends to a magnificent dinner; when, to the
astonishment of tbe assembled guests, the time-hon
ored net was removed. One of the boldest of the
company asked why the familiar object was missing,
to which the supreme Pontiff laconically answered,
“ The fish is caught,”
Counterfeit.—We were yesterday shown a coun
terfeit $10 note on the Bank of the 8tate of North
Carolina. The note is an imitation of tbe genuine,
and is well calculated to deceive, even some of Net-
tleson’s pupils. The vignette or tho good note is an
engraving of the Capitol at Raleigh, and we recom
mend the Bank to issue no more notes upon that
plate, as the engraving Is poor, docs not Keep up
with the promess of modern iraprovomentin Bank
note engraving, and affords thereby an opportunity
for counterfeiters to omit spurious huraca. Wo cau

Properties op Charcoal*—Among the many pro
perties of charcoal may be mentioned, its power of
destroying smell, taste and color '
[lossessii " “
j. us power
id.asa proof of
its possessing the first quality, If It be rubbed over
putrid meat, the flavor will be destroyed. If a piece
of charcoal bo thrown into putrid water, tbe putrid
taste or smell will bo destroyed, and tbe water be
rendered completely fresh. Sailors aro aware of this
for when water is bod at sen, they are in the habit of
throwing piecca or burnt biscuits Into it to purify It.
Color is materially influenced by charcoal, and in num
bers of instances in a very Irregular way. If yon take
a dirty black syrup and fiilter it throngk burnt chare
ooal, the color will he removed. The charcoal of ani-
mal|matter appears to be tbe best for this purpose. Yon
nay learn the influence of charcoal in dostryolng col
ors by filtering a bottle of port wino through It; In
the filtration it will lose a great portion of this color
and become tawny ; repeat the process two or three
times, and you; have destroyed It altogether.

Double Homicide.—A very dreadful homicido
(says the Columbia South Carolinian, of tho 10th
Inst.,) was perpetrated near Maybinton, on Friday
last, the particulars of which are nearly as follows
It seems that Mr. John D. Sims bad on his ptautation
an overseer who had become objectionable to hint,
and whoso removal from his premises ho sought to
effect. After conversation, an altercation ensued,
when tho wife of tho overseer, being armed with a
pistol, threatened to shoot Mr. Sims. Being armed
with a double barrel gun, Sims immediately shot her
down. Enraged at this, the overeeer ordered his Bon
to bring his gun to attack Sims, when the latter lev
eled his gun and killed the overseer.

tho week. Flour has slightly advanced, owing to a limited
supply on the market, and the Improved rates for Com no

quiet, with loss firmness in prices, while Bacon has brought
full rates. Freights have been firmer, but with few en
gagements.
