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.

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.

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.

A .warm and f irotractcd debate ensued, and the resolutions were inally rejected.

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. To Wm. S. Allen, Esq., 8t Louis. . CARSON. 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 timore Sun. 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.

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.

After conversation, an altercation ensued, when tho wife of tho overseer, being armed with a pistol, threatened to shoot Mr. Sims.
