Hue should be the oocaalon of sincere gratification ■“ ‘ onfew,l‘ ‘ from late map*of Georgia and Florida, win abow at a glonco the different Unis of road propoeed from Savannah to l en to every true-hearted Democrat. To me, I confess, It it pe culiarly so. The recent divisions In our party, resulting from honest differences of opinion, touching a subject or great delicacy and embarrassment, have passed away with the lasuea that produced them. The temporary alienation that existed has ceased, and whatever acidity of feeling a intemperance of expression may have been indulged i forgotten and forgiven, in the general fusion of sentiment which unites ua in the bonda or political brotherhood. For this I have unceasingly labored since the 10th of December, 1860, down to the present day; and for this, I shall con tinue to consecrate my feeble abilities, until It may be said emphatically, that tho Democracy of Georgia are •- now and forever one and inseparable.” To this end, I humbly in voke a general spirit of kindness and mutual forberunco. If our late divisions have produced a temporary paralysis In the action of tho Democratic party, there is a considera tion that goes for to compensate for the pain which Itare- membranoe awakens.

We call the attention of alt oonoernod In oor pro* posed Bailroad oodneotlona with Florida, town arti cle copied flrom the Tallahassee Journal. We reoog* nlao In its stylo and signature ono of the most lucid, accurate and comprehensive Intellects of our. sister State. TO be appreciated It should, be read with a large map of iba United SUtea, or with the maps of Georgia and Florida ready for referenoe. We have reason to believe, both from inherent evidence, and from the well known ebarooter and habits of its aa* thor’a mind, that it has been prepared with extromo care to sooure the utmost accuracy in Its statements and estimates. The difference, then, In length between Savannah’s preferred line to Pensacola, through Lowndes, Thom as and Decatnr, to the junction of the Chattahoochee and Flint, and the line recommended by the Talla* hsssee Convention Is, in all, ttvenietn miles—making a difference in Umo of abont a half an hour. As an Inducement to make this deflection, and as a compen sation for seventeen miles Increase in distance, and a half hour’s Increase In time, the Middle Floridians offer bonajidt subscriptions to the amount of 8800,000. With this $800,000 they offer something else—they oflbr ns their htartt and thoir hands, their good-will and unfailing friendship. Lot the road enter Florida at the jnnctlon of tho Chattahoochee and Flint, and for all time more than three-fourths of tbe people of Florida will be its ene mies : the opponents of tho road, and by no means the friends of this city. That the legislation of the State ia that event, if not hostile, will not be favora ble to tbe enterprise, may be confidently expected. By the othor route, more than half tho road is a Flor ida road—more than half her population become thor oughly identified with its interests and frilly commit ted to its protection. We say, then, if wo wish only to be connected with one of Florida’s great ports, Ponsacola, the consider ations, pecuniary and moral, la favor of the line through Middle Florida, are conclusive. But when we look to a connection with her other port, Tampa— likely in coming years to be of not one tittle less importance than with Pensacola, tho considerations in favor of entering the State at tho best point in Hamilton County become overwhelming In their force. Wo have no fears as to tho ultimate determination of Savannah. s chatigo came over tie spirit of hta dreams 1 fee “ friend"’ ofhto eaHy poems, tho " Lillian of hte Rhymes of Travel,”: dled.TYears before, they h«4 betrothed tbomselves In' sincerity and truth, and It WM tlwlronly wUh Inllfo tecall_ ewii other by the endearing names of.wifi tod husband, two of tbe sweetest and moetholy worts ever tittered on earth.

In a recent number of the Scientific American, a statistical writer speaks of the United Staten as pro- .... .. . —x —itaclo of rapid energy in our people, which enables them to trans form tbe waste places of onr lands into frnitfnl Helds, and lonely dosorta into teeming cities, and that with a facility and power akin to the skill ascribed to the old nlcbymists, In whose magic hands iron became gold, and brass shining silver. With a most wonder- lul increase of cities, villages, and everything con nected with Industrial progress on land, no loss won derful haa been our progress on bcu—In building tho winds i and waves by tho Bhips and subduing mighty power of steam. Bik years ago there were only two mercantile steam ships In the whole United States; those bolonged to New York, and wore but insignificant In size. Then we had no mail steamships, and tho star-spangled banner had never floated bat in a solitary instance in a foreign port above tho quarter deck or an American steamer. The smoko from American funnels never was seen afar on the ocean, and in thta respect Eng land alone reigned mistress of the seas. But what a change bos taken place in that short period. The four largest and as yet tho fleetest ocean steamships in the world belong to our country, and tho rivers Mersey, In England, tho Seine and Wesor, in France and Germany, are now visited regularly by eight Amerlc$u steamships of largo tonnage and powerful engines. Tho two mail steamships Washington And Hermann, which ply between Now York and Bremen, are 1,700 tuns burthen each; the two which ply be tween New York and Havre—tho Franklin ana Hum boldt—are 2,200 tuns each; and tbe four of Collin’s line of steamships are each 3,000 tans burden, mak ing an Atlantic fleet or steamships amounting to 10,- 800 tans burden. On thta dav, six years ago, not one of these Teasels had disturbed the waters of t‘ °BoisideB thoso nohlo vessels, there are seventeen steamships, of an aggregate tonnage or 21,012 tonB, plying regularly between New York and onr South ern cities and tho West Indies, and there are no less than 41 of an aggregate tonnage of 67,330 tons, en gaged in New York, California and Oregon trado.— All theso are American bnllt steamships, and com prise a mercantile marine larger than that of all tho other nations In the world—Great Britain excepted— t >ut together. AH tho steam marine has been created n less than six years. Do these figures not exhibit a touch of power more wonderful tuan that of any genii of Oriental tale, that of Aladdin’s wonderfril lamp not excepted? Bide by side with us, the peo ple of Great Britain have been running a race in in creasing tbeir steam marine also. Within the same period they have bnllt a greater number of steamships than we have, and the same circumstances which have operated so powerfully to open up new fields or trade with us now operate upon them—wo allude to tho gold discoveries of California and Australia. It Is dmlcnlt for the mind to entertain at once a just Idea of the magnitude of these stupendous changes in our steam marine—a contemplation of them makes “ tho boldest hold hta breath for a time.” It la very natural to ask, M can our country go on mnoh longer at snoh a rapid pace; will a period not arrive at no distant date when, like other uatlons of the Old World, ours will also cease to mako such strides in industrial progress-^when It will, to use a common term, stand still ? We have no affirmative answer to return. Onr nation, If wo keep united, and hot-headed men do not foolishly precipitate us into war with powerful foes, musk go on with just as rapid strides for tho next thousand years as it has for tho last fifty. We bavo more natural resources of all those things which go to make a nation groat and powerful than all tho known kingdoms on tho globo. Wo, like tho boose of David, roast inoreaso, while other nations, now great and poworfal, will decrease. The'llew York StaliTYords. The Ship Yards at tbe present time present a rath- or animated appearance, although the business is not as brisk as In the forepart or the season. We are in formed that In consequence of the lane number of vessels from the Eastern Cities, that Have been put up at this port for frolght, there are many vessels ly ing idle for want of business. After, the vessels now in progress of construction are completed, there wiU be but very little work going on u there are now no contracts Ming given out. At the Yard of Jacob A. Railroad Iron. Brunswick Road.—We are pleased to learn, that Senator Foote, of Vermont, has succeeded in negotiat ing a contract in England, for the immediate ship ment of tho iron necessary for the construction of tbs Brunswick and Florida Railroad. Two cargoes will leavo Liverpool forthwith, and will shortly be depos ited on the wharves of Brunswick. Tbe remainder will be shippod from time to time, as necessity and convenience may suggest. Here then is a tangible R roof, of the honest intention of the men engaged in 10 enterprise. Words would not satisfy the unbe lievers in Savannah, but they will have to knock un der to the cold iron! There can no longer remain a* ht, but that tho road will be pushed forward with energy and rapidity. The people of the sonth-west are alive to its importance, and will spare no effort to promote a scheme promising such results to the wholo of Bouthera Georgia^—iua«m Telegraph. Well—we are ready to 14 knock under to the cold iron i” though some of onr Mends, in this city, from tho coolness with which they speak of running a road through Lowndes and Thomas counties, along tbe exact tract chosen for the Brunswick work, would seem to have forgotten that the latter was over con templated. Wo presume that the intelligence of the purchase of iron comes from Mr. Foote himself. If so it is doubtless worthy of confidence. The Macon Messen ger Bays the purchase embraces 41 iron enough to lay every mile of tho road under contract.” Bet ob down then, as bellevoreln tho consummation oftho work— a point in relation to whioh our opinion, as that of many of its best friends, lias been, we confess, not a little unsettled. Should other information again load ns to change onr conclusion, pride of consistency will not prevent us from saying so. Now, at least, we think we may congratulate our friends In Lowndos, Thomas, Decatnr, and Baker, on the prospeot of soon having two ontlota to the Atiantlo. Whig, or Union Convention.—This Convention met yesterday at MlUedgevllle.

Yesterday mornlnjj we had ono or twoshowora,and at about three o’cloct in tbe afternoon tho rain com menced to full heavily, and continued so to do, with very little lutermissbn, throughout the evening.— From all appearances the rain must bavo been pretty general, and has, doibtless, been of considerable ser vice to the parched ind thirsty crops. Wo make the following extract from a letter writ ten from Chester DUtrict, 8. C., dated Blaokotooks, Jane 18,1863. 4; Tho weather and the crops at the present time promise nothing ahort of a famine In this section of country. We navo not had sufficient quantity of rain for a season since April, at no time since thatjhns tbe dust been laid for two days at once. Wo have had a few slight sbowors, (and very few,) bad they all fallen at one time, they would not havo boen suffi cient for a season’. 44 Corn In upland is tod far gonoto make one-fourth of a yield, though the rains should commence at once —old red land will not make ono bushel per acre, though the balance of the season should provo favor able. Fresh lands and bottoms with rains, will make perhaps half a yield. Tho Cotton promises a pretty Wr yield, if we shonld get rain Boon, as it looks toler ably well for the season—all depends on rain soon and a late fall. Wheat crops were very good. Oats very short, as not ons-half can be cut. "Corn is worth, at thla time, hero 75o. to $1,00 per bushel, and none orb Willing to sell. 44 Chester District, hotwltbstandingthe overwhelm ing crop ratacd ia *52, will ueed in ’64 from 60,000 to 100,000 bushels of c*rn more than she can raise In ’63.” lrlali Union Society.
