The remarks of the Savannah Republican of yes terday, and the Savannah Georgian of Friday, to -|*tber with other circumstances which are calculated • to place me in a false position, have determined me to give a brief history of my course, In connection with the Savannah and Albany Railroad charter and SAVANNAH, GA.: TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 31, 1853. Savimnmli its Gulf Railroad—Meeting to-day* The stockholders under the Saranimh and Albauy charter, In dctermlng, as they did last Thursday, to dis solve their organization, passed by a unanimous vote a resolution earnestly requesting ids honor the Mayor to call a meeting of the citizens to provide for a '•;*KbUloed'the charter in 1847. It was amended in „ r . ^42*5°* Wi? kC thnurere 1 new organization under a new charter, to build a rail- iimin trank ®Hno train Savannah from Savannah to Florida, with a view to extend |g Albany, but it allows one or more extensions across tho same to Pensacola.

I refused the Pres idency of the Company, which was tendered to me by the Savannah Directors, and upon my suggestion, Dr. Screven was unanimously chosen President. I atato these particulars to show, that I acted in good tingency—that this un in the charter—that it was iu the airline to Mobile, and nearly an air line to Pensacola—that I could not consent to any change in tho route or organization which would deprive Albany and tho surrounding section of the bcueflts required by the charter, that the constrnction of railroads was a matter of business in which parties are not expected to spend their money contrary to their interests, and 1 stated dis tinctly that If tho people of Savannah did not believe It to be for their interest to construct a road in good faith according to the Savannah and Albany charter and existing organization, it would be better to say so frankly and withhold the city subscription, I stated that we desired a connection with Brunswick, but we preferred a direct connection with Savannah —that ir the Brunswick and tho Savannah and Alba ny roads were both made they would bo some lifty miles apart, would both secure a good local trade, would open to a market and render productive, a large section of Georgia, and when the Gulf was reached, each would have all the business it could do. Similar views were expressed in Mr. Bartow’s able speech on that occasion in which be opposed the res olutions Of Mr. Cuylcr and advocated the ratification of the city subscription. The suoscrlptlon of the City Council was ratified by a large majority, and I then considered tho qucB- Stioa of the route, aud tho objects set forth in the or ganization, settled, if tho company, of which Savan nah bad, by her subscription?became a part, could raise the means to construct tbo road ; if this could not be done the organization would cease by its own limitation, and no one would be injured. But the Republican placed a construction upon one of the resolutions passed by tho meeting, which caused doubts in the minds of the people of the Sonth-west, as to the real intention of Savannah in making her subscription. The Brunswick Company had recently commenced operations, and it was wslfcved by many that the Savannah movement was intended, not to make a road in good faith under tho Savannah and Albany charter, but to frighten off, or break down tho Brunswick Company. This will account for the fact, that no efforts were made in or about Albany for sub- ■oripttous. I knew there was a party In Savannah who opposed the construction of a road to Albany, through fear that it might conflict with the business of tha Central And South-western Railroads; but my opinion was, that they were still in a minority, and tail would be demonstrated at the stockholdcrs r meet- ing on the 25th of May, when-1 hoped that measures might be agreed upon to perfect the organization and commence the road. With these views I came to Savannah to attend the Stockholders’ meeting. I arrived here on the 23d lust, and Boon found that tho party who were in a tolnorlty In the November meeting, were now in a majority, and that there was littlo prospect of making the Savannah and Albany road. I have been shown tt written opinion of some of tho most distinguished lawyers in the city, giving a legal construction to the provisional organization of tho company which au thorized the subscribers for stook to tako control of tbo Charter, contrary to the express conditions of the organization, and tbo intentions of the parties. I stated my objections to this opinion, and it was sub sequently reviewed and confirmed. Tho board of Di rectors, acting under this opinion, and hoping doubt- i to obtain my consent to the change, prepared a ir organization of the company to be submitted for the adoption of the stockholders on the 25th inst.— Mr. Cuyler had prepared resolutions to be submitted to the meeting proposing tq ebango tho route fixed by'tbo charter, and existing organization. Ail these toots came to my knowledge before tho meeting of the 25th, and I state them to account for tbo course which I conceived it to my duty to adopt la tbo stockholders' meeting. It should be remember- edtbat I was acting not for myseir alone, but os an assignee of a charter which was intended to benefit my own section as well os others, and which I was morally bound not to abandon as long~ as there was a prospect of having a rood made in compliance with its provisions. The recent provisional organization of tne Company was made in consequence of tho ef forts of Gen. Brisbane and other parties to raise the money, by the sale of their lands, for tbo construction m of this road i and the day before the meeting l saw’a letter from Mr. Keely, their agent in London, giving very strong assurance that £500,000, (two and a half millions or dollars) would soon bo secured to be ap plied to the construction of the Savannah and Albany read. • Under these circumstances I determined to leave nothing to contingency which should affect the true Intentions expressed in the charter and the organiza tion. I prepared a preamble and resolution to obtain the sense of the meeting with reference to their right to ebango the organization and control the charter; and to guard against the effect of the legal construc tion whloh had been given to the articles of provis ional organization. I subscribed to the Albany list, 60^000 snares of stock, with a determination to ad here to it in good faith, and sink or swim with it, if the,meeting adhered to the organization rather than lbse/Tpy a legal constrnction whloh violated the Inten- ■ # “-e parties, the rights and interests with Ibsen entrusted. he meeting of the 25th 1 asked, and obtained twffihpldtbe, MJB MNI 4 MUU, Mia UUtAlUBU Albany subscription list, until question should be decided by tbe would determine my action.

Arrival of the Conway. Tho Royal Mnil steamship Conway, Captain T. W. Sawyer, from Navy Bay, arrived here on Saturday. She left Navy Bay, May 18,5 P. M.; Kingston, (Ja maica,) May 23,5 A.

She remained for ty-six hours at Jamaica, two hours at Inagua, and seven hours at Nassau. Her list of passengers con sists of twenty five adult saloon, two children, and two fore-cabin passengers. She reports the continued prevalence of fever on board tho R. M. S. P. Company’s ships in tho West Indies.

This passage luw hceu performed, from Kingston to Tybce Light, a distance of one thousand ono hun dred and ninety miles, in five days and four hours. She remained off tho Bar till 10 A.

A late number of DeBow’s Review says s—The cot ton crop of the old world cannot be accurately esti mated for want of correct accounts of the quantity consumed in India and exported thence to China—- We may by approximation, however, arrive at a con- i sufficient to illustratoour views. The quantity elusion , imported into tho whole of Europe, from all parts of tho world, during the years 1840,1847,1848 and 1849, reached 11,502.000 baga of 300 pounds, which, at the average price for these years, cents, was worth $293,401,000. The production of cotton in the United States commenced in 1790, and in the next year only 81 bales were exported, and yet of 11,202,000, above stated, 8,922,000 went from tho Southern States of America, which, at the saino price—8& cents—was worth $227/(11,000. Bo that in quantity the produc tion of tho South is as 8,925,000 to 11/02,000, and tbe value is as $220/(11,000 to $292,301,000, and thus we see that we produce more than tlirco-fonrths in quan tity und value of this great staple. If the unascer tained quantity consumed iu England, and exported thence to China, which is inferior in staple to ours, is set off against tho quantity of our cotton consumed iu the United States, (which I have not added to tho computation) the result, it is believed, will not he varied.
