Matrt. Editors—Tho Georgia fVatchman, of the
19th Instant, contains a letter from E. R. Young, Esq,
relative to the reported arrangements for tho union of
the Savannah and Brunswick Railroads, which de
mands of mo a statement of tbe facts therewith con
nected eo far as I am concerned. I do not seek
controversy oil this subject—I simply, desire respect
fully to correct certain statements in the letter of Mr.
Yonng, and to give the.facts which led him into the
error of supposing that the Directors of tbe Bruns
wick oompany 44 will, in a short, timo receive from the
proper source such proposals for the union of the two
companies, as will meet their approbation and ac-
aceptance,” and the Editors of the Journal of Com
merce into the announcement that arrangements with
that object in view, are about to bo consummated,
entertain toward Mr. Young the most respectful re
gard. I regret moat exceedingly tho publication of
his letter, and tbe necessity which impelled me to
correct the statement of the journals which contained
it.
Some time in the month of August last, and pre
vious to the meeting of the citizens of Savannah, held
on the 30th of August, at which it was determined to
prosecute tho enterprise of a Railroad to tho Gulf, un
der the Savannah and Albany charter, Mr. Young
sought and had interviews with me on the subject
of a compromise, or nnion ofthe Savannah and Bruns
wick companies, and desired to know whether I would
receive propositions from tbe Brunswick company, of
which he was a Director? I replied in the affirmative,
and stated that Savannah desired to cultivate friendly
and commercial relations with his section of country,
that she had uever refused, and would not now re
fuse, to receive propositions calculated to extend
these relations. He then told me that he wasonhla
way to New York, and was determined to force pro
positions from the Brunswick Directors. I predicted
to him what would be tho result of his efforts, and tho
minutes of tho proceedings of that body, published
below, verify my prediction. My conversations with
Mr. Young on this subject were such os ought to be
held between citizens of tho same State, they were
frank and ingenuous, but Ido not understand that
wo were ever very nearly agreed upon the basis of
compromise, as ho states, for neithor party was then
authorized to carry on negotiations even for the liasia
of a compromise.
Upon the return of Mr. Young from New York, wc
had another interview on this subject. I explained
to him tho action of tbe citizens at their late meet
ing ; that Savannah now possessed a charter by which
she could, from tbe liberality of the powers granted
in it. not only construct a road to Mobile but a branch
&1bo to Florida—that by meana of tbe latter only
could it be expected that any comprpmUo could, be
effected, but that wo bad negotiations pending with
English capitalists for liberal aid to our enterprise,
and Savannah had made certain pledges to the peo
ple of Florida, and that until theso questions were
determined it would bo improper and embarrassing
to negotiate with a third party, bnt I could see no ob
stacles in the future, on our part, to a union of inter
ests with the counties of Lowndes, Thomas, and De
catur in a joint road from Warosboro’. Our conver
sation on these topics was of such a character that
determined not to have another interview witli Mr.
Young, but at tho solicitation of a third party, and in
order to bring the matter to a close, I addressed him
the following letter, and in reply received a commu
nication from him enclosing a copy of the proceed
ings of two meetings of the Brunswick Company,
held in New York, and a mom-trandum signed by
him.
It will bo perceived, from a perusal of my letter,
that I expressed a willingness to receive for the Sa
vannah Directors,any-propojifrotu that Mr. Young
might have to make from tho Brunswick Company.
In reply, I received ne propositions from that Compa
ny, but a resolution offering to receive “any formal
communication which citizens of Savannah may now
or hereafter propose to this Company, within a period
ot three months from this date.” With the memo
randum of Mr. Young I bad nothing to do. He says
it was written by Mr. Roberts, but I presume at the
dictation of Mr. Young, inasmuch as his signature is
affixed to it. No other parties having signed, It is his
instrument, and I acknowledge to have received it in
the Harne envelope which covered his communication
to mo and tho minutes or the Brunswick Hoard of
Directors. From these minutes it appears that the
communication of Messrs. Yonng and Nightingalo un
derwent some modification previous to its being act
ed upon by the Board. What waa tho character of
tho modification the minntes do not explain, and we
are yet to learn.
Those documents were submitted by me to tbe Board
of Directors of tbe Savannah and Albany Railroad
Company, at tho second meeting after tholr organiza
tion. They were respectfully received, but have not
been acted upon. It U a common custom for publio
bodies to reoeive communications, it being respectful
to do so, and yet not to consider or entertain them.
What tbe Bavannab Board of Directors will do in the
premises I cannot at this time indicate, but it is evi
dent that Mr. Young was mistaken, and labored un
der a misapprehension when ho stated in bis letter of
resignation that the Brunswick Company would, in
a short time, receive proposals from the proper source
which will meet their approbation and acceptance,
and hia tender of resignation, in order to make room
for a representative or tbe allied iotoreste waa preci
pitate, and I may add ill-advised. I am also free to
admit that he believed negotiations were going on;
bat if be will reflect that to condact negotiations be
tween corporate bodies tho parties negotiating must
be authorized to act, and that there were no authoriz
ed agents of either company in the transactions in
which he participated, he most confess that he wae
mistaken In hlsimpresaionaon this snbjeot.
I was surprised to see tho unfortunate letter of Mr.
Yonng in the Georgia fVatchman, and still more so
to find it In tbe Journal of Commerce, accompanied
by an editorial statement to tbe effect that 14 arrange
ments are about to be consummated between the Sa
vannah and Brunswick Companies, tbe result of which
is expected to be the construction of a Railroad from
the Atlantio to tbe Gulf.” I took immediate steps to
rectify the atetement of the Journal of Commerce,
and authorised the editors of tbe Georgian, News
and Republican to correct it, because In tho attitude
of the whole qneetion, it wu calculated to mlalaad
parties In regard to the actual condition of facta. It
*U1 be peroslved upon a reference to their editorials,
that each editor hu bandied the sntyect in a different
way. Two of thou editorials I uw and approved,
bnt the third, wbloh Mr. Young hu selected for oom-
ment, I did not see. I am, however, responsible for
tbe statement of (be Republican that no arrange
ments have bun made for tbe consummation of the
union of the two enterprises u stated by tbe Joum-
nal of Commerce, and -that no negotiation! are pend
ing for tiist purpose. I did also uy to the editor of
the Republican that tbs Savannah and Albany Com
pany oould not properly undertake negotiations with
the Brunswick Company at this time, beoaose of tbe
present Mate or complication ,^ He afihlre, with
pledges, which they woald not and will not violate.

point of crossing Savannah oan enjoy commercial re
lations with several counties or tbe South-West cither
by the continued llnp of tbe Brunswick Rosd, or by a
joint road, u may hereafter be agreed upon.
The people of Savannah do not and bavo never en
tertained hostile feelings to tbe Brunswick road. Mr.
Bartow In his letter of February 20, 1863, expresses
their true sentiments on this subject. Ho writes
44 The people of Savannah are much misunderstood if
they are regarded u Inimical to the interests of any
of our brethren In tho Southern part of Guorgla.—
Surely it is tho interest of Savannah to allure Inter
course with every portion of the State. Her whole
history has been one of continued and palatal strug
gle to supply by the means of art, those connections
with tho country which nature denied. I will nof
now recapitulate those efforts, They are familiar to
all. Through every step In this prolonged labor Bhe
has encountered difficulties springing from hor isola
tion and her weakness. She baa felt how much tbe
gronnd gained has cost her in the expenditure of
streugtb, energy and wealth, while others from anoth
er point of view have expected more than she was
able to perform, and blamed hor laggard spirit, with
an lujustlae whioh she has proudly but keenly felt.”
Tho editors of tho Georgian treated this subject on
tho 28th February, 1863, as follows:
“ Another thing we may add, while Savannah feels
no hostility to Brunswick, (we should rather Bay
Northern speculators in Brunswick property,) orto -
auy other town or city, she will do what she can to
prevent Brunswick, or any other city from appropri
ating trade and commerce whioh she can make tribu
tary to herself. Savannah is punning no 4 dog in
the manger ’ policy. If sho were, wo certainly should
not sustain ber in it. Sho Is not striving to prevent
others from building a road through Southern Geor
gia—while determined to give no aid in building one
herself. Ou the contrary having nearly accomplished
other great undertakings which have for years task
ed to the rtmost her capital and energies, slit rests
not for a day. Summoning up hor strength for anoth
er gigantic effort, she proclaims to the world ber de
termination to build a Railroad of probably not less
than four hundred miles, to bring about a connection
between herself, South-western Goorgia, Middle and
West Florida, New Orleans, Texas. Mexico and Cali
fornia. She has determined to build this road be
cause she believes hor highest and dearest Interests
to be involved in its construction. If tbe Brunswick
operators with a road from that place, Savannah
makes no objection.” •
When the Brunswick road was first projected, Sa
vannah was not in a condition seriously to contem
plate tho construction of a road to South-western
Georgia. It will, however, bo recollected tbut Col.
Seward, with a wise forecast, had the charter of the
Brunswick road so modified by tho Legislature, us to
empower tbe Company to construct to Savannah or
Brunswick at its pleasure, thus giving indications of
its probable eventual terminus nt Savannah. As far
back as 1847, a charter tar a railway from Savannah
to Albany was granted. This road was strenuously
advocated in our city some timo previous to tho re
sumption of tbe Brunswick enterprise. Savannah bad
spent ber millions upon the Central, the South-west
ern, tho Muscogeeo and the Augusta & Waynesboro’
roads, and had slso agreed to expend a considerable
sum upon the Opelika road. Some of these having
proved to be profitable enterprises, sho felt strong
enough to turn her attention to the South-west, but
having no charter to carryout hor designs, tho Bruns
wick charter being in other hands, she availed herself
of the Albany charter to accomplish her object of a
connection with the South-west and the Gulf of Mex
ico. Tills charter is perhaps tho most liberal ever
granted by tbe Legislature of Georgia, and enables
her to construct a road to the western boundary of
the State, on tho Chattahoochee, with brandies in a
southerly and northerly direction, boundod in length
only by tho limits of tbe State. In a letter received
from the capitalists of London, who have so favorably
considered our enterprise, they say, 44 It is impossible,
for tlioso not acquainted with the locality, to doubt
that the route from Savannah is immeasurably supe
rior to any other.” Tbe main trunk of this road she
proposes to locate as soon as tho route to tho Alata-
maha can be fixed, and immediately thereafter to be
gin the work of construction. A bona fide subscrip
tion of $1,000,000 bos been made by the city to tho
enterprise, and large subscriptions have been and are
being mado by her citizens. She has expectations of
important aid from several sources. In these sho may
be disappointed, but she basthciei// aiuf the power to
accomplish much without it, and where those quali
ties exist, failure seldom occurs.
I feel no disposition and will not retort upon tho
Brunswick Company tbe unkind remakB ot Mr.
Young, one ofthe Directors of that Company, upon
the prospects of tbe Savannah Company. I have
uever written nor spoken disrespectfully of that Com
pany, nor of my fellow citizens in Georgia, who are
engaged in that enterprise ; nor will I now—but I
have pledged myself to use all honorable means, and
I will carry out that pledge, to place Savannah in
connection by railway with South-western Georgia,
and thus promote an identity of interests between
them. Veiy respectfully,
James P. SonsvEN.

board bv tbe letters of E. It. Young and P. M. Night
ingale, Esqra.. and fortified by their remarks, is re
ceived with favor and respect by tbe Directors.”—
Now, in as much os the extent of tho subject matter
for negotiation is a limited one, aud not set fortli lu
the resolution passed by tho meeting of the Directors
in New York; and it is desirable to ascertain the ex
tent and nature of the subjects to be negotiated,by
and between these two Companies, it is deemed de
sirable that Mr. Young should make a statement, as
the basis of negotiation, which be does as tallows:
E. 1L Young. Esq., states, that tho Brunswick and
Florida Rail Road Company are disposed to negotiate
with the Savannah and Albaby Rail Road Company
terms and conditions tlint will tend to aid each o '
them with their contemplated Rail Road schemes, as
follows:—that 1r to say—the Brunswick company is
willing to submit tho proposition of continuing a Itail
Road from Savannah and a Rail Road from Brunswick,
westwardly to some point to be agreed upon, there
the two Roads to unite and continue ou to such point
connecting with tho Gulf of Mexico—as may be selec
ted—and the proposition Is to bo entertained wheth
er the entire Hoads are to be ono common stock,or
whether there shall be three separate divisions of
Stock and three separate divisions of interests:—
theso are tho main subjects mentioned at the mcctin;
of Directors of tho Brunswick and Florida Rail Uoai
Coni^anj at their meeting in Now York, September

The Late Gale—Vessels Abandoned,
The late heavy northeast gale has extended a con
siderable distance along the coast, and done immense
damrge to the shipping.
Tho Br. sohr. Golden Eagle, which arrived yester
day morning from Nassau, N. P., foil in with on Sat
urday last, off Savannah, tiio sclir. Advent, of Jack
sonville, Fla., Tobey master, from Portsmouth, N. H.,
with a cargo of hay, bound to Jacksonville, about __
miles from Tybee. The mainmast had to be cut a-
way daring tho gale to relieve tho vessel, the foremast
going with it, and sweepiug the decks of every thing
inovcuble. The Advent having no spars or sails left
ou board, the officers and crew found themselves com
pelled to abandon the vessel, and came on in the
QoUlen Eagle. The Advent waa fallen in witli by
the steamer Charleston, after the Advent's crew bad
left ber, and was towed into this port yesterday af
ternoon.
The sebr. Charleston, Johnson, master, at this port,
from Satilia River, fell iu with, on Friday last, to tho
eastward of Doboy, the achr. Hallowcll, Harden,
master, from Savannah, lumber loaded, of and for
Rockland, Me.—took off tho officers and crew and
brought them to tills port. The Halloweli was thrown
on her beam ends while scudding before the lat - gale,
when her masts had to bo cut away, andBho waa
rendered a complete wreck.. The llalioway was
passed and boarded on Saturday last, off St. Catha
rine's, by tbe steamer Florida, at thin port.
Tho barque Dudley, Morrison, from this port, 18th
inst., for Havana, in ballast, returned yesterday, to
repair damages sustained on the 19th, (in lat. 29.00,
long. 79.31), about 230 miles S.fc E. from Charleston

Dear Sir:—Having had Beveral informal conversa
tions with yon on tho subject of Railroads, in which
'our section of country and Savannah are interested,
jut oa they can lead to no practical result, I have to

road Charter, and the Directors of that Company
will receive any propositions yon may bavo to make
from the Branswlck Railroad Company.

upon tho Savanuah and Albany Railroad charter, and

road Company.” On a recent tour I visited New

New Yoex, Bept. 7tb ,1863.
Tbe undersigned, citizens ofthe State of Georgia,
and Member* of tb* Board of Directors ofthe Bruns
wick and Florida Ball Boaa Company, having had
several Interviews with prominent and inflaoqtial
Risen* of tbe city of Savannah, who are now enr -
Jacksonville and Alligator Plankroad Com-
pany.
Meeting op Board op Directors, Oct. 13,1853.—
Board mot pursuant to adjournment. Present—J. P.
Sanderson, President; Messrs. Dongias and Ledwlth
Directors.
Ordered: Whereas, doubts have been expressed as
to the ultimate completion of the road, which doubts
have influenced subscribers otherwise well disposed,
to neglect tho payment of their iuHt&lments with the
promptness which is necessary to insure an economi
cal andfauidprogressof the work ; Therefore,
Resolved, That the Bourd of Directors see no rea
son to despair of the speedy completion ot the road.
That they have expended & large sum of money tar
machinery, tools, carts, provisions, and other essen
tials, also in locating the route of the road and in
opening several miles thereof, and will immediately
and energetically progress with the actual work upon
tho road: and that justice to those subscribers who
have paid and whose money lias been thus expended,
requires the board to enforce payment from all others
by all tbe legal remedies in their (lower.
Ordered, therefore, That the Secretary do proceed
forthwith to cause suits to be instituted against all
subscribers to tbe capital stock or tills Company resi
dent in Florida who nave not paid their first instal
ment ; that James M. Baker aud M. W. Smith, Esq*.,
be requested to superintend such suit as may be
brought in Columbia county under tho foregoing res
olution, and John P. Sanderson and George W. Call,
Esq8., be in like manner requested superintend such
suits as may be bronght in Duval county, and that
said attorneys, or either of them, bo authorized to re
ceive subscriptions and pay tho same over to the
Treasurer.
And whereas, also, subscriptions to the stock of
tills Company, were tnado in Savunnah under the tal
lowing stipulation, viz:
“ Savannah subscriptions to tho stock of tbe Alli
gator and Jacksonville Plankroad Company, jnyable
in instalments as called for in common with the sub
scribers at Jaeksonvdle and elsewhere, and to be ox-
pended on the last twenty miles of the road "
ply, created, as you inppoae, an Immense sensation.

We took four mon and some Chinese coolies with
us and started on a six days’ tramp, during which
we made 103 miles and thoroughly explored more
than one half of the felaud. Wo were attended by
Government officers, who acted as spies, bat did not
attempt to control our movements. We led them
such a dance as they never had betare, bnt it was
impossible to escape their espionage. Scout* were
sent in advance wherever we went, and the natives
driven away from tho road. The inhabitants either
shut up their houses or hid thomselves; not through
fear of us, as muny llttlo incidents proved, but of

Commencing Monday, Oct. 24th,
their own rulers. Tho Island is one of the most
beautiful in tbo world; very fertile admirably culti
vated, and combining in its scenery tho characteris
tics both of tho tropic and temperate zones. We dis
covered a ruined castle, 650 feet long, on tho summit
of a mountain, besides many anciont tombs, hewn in
the rocks. Tho northern part of the island is moun
tainous, and covered with dense forests in which wild
hours are found. Tho trip was altogether tho mo*t
fantastic and peculiar I ever made. We took a tent,
but lodged mostly in the cimg-qiw’a, or Government
bouses, which are vory neat’ aud comfortable. Our
native escort furnished us with provisions and bear
ers for our baggago. On Monday the fltli Inst, tho
Commodore returned the Regent's visit at Hlieudi, tin*
royal residence, three miles from hero. Ho wont in
state with a procession of more than two hundred
officers, seamea and marines, with two field pieces
and two bands. Great numbers of the natives came
to witness our aray. We entered the royol castle at
Sheodi, but did not sco either the young Pri co or
Queen Dowager. After tbe reccptition we had a
grand native dinner nt the Regent's house, I par
took of thirty-ono nondescript dishes, and was then
obliged to stop. Everything passed off remarkably
well. We left there on tho !»th tar tbe Benin Archi

tropical vegetation. I never had such a hard day’s ■ ® ._ vn tlOUIJloOD
work in my life, although wo only travelled 12 mile*. ‘
I had seven men—officers and seamen—with me. Two
of them broke down completely, a third barely „
ged liimsclf along, and the others were wonilly fa
tigued. Wc climbed down a mile of precipice by hold ■
ing on to the corners of rocks and roots of trees, shot
a wild bom,kindled a fire and roasted his flesh, and
had a grand time generally. The Benin islands are
of volcanic formation, and though in lat. 27° N., tlu-
vegetatlon is that which is elsewhere found near the
Equator. The inhabitants—30 in nil—are English,
American and Kanak—mostly runaway sailors, who
raise a few vegetables which they sell to sailors. Port
Lloyed is a splendid and secure harbor, and thu onh
one in ail this part of the Pacific whicli will answe'r
as a stopping place and calliug station tar our new
Paclflo steamers, when they get under way. We can
even afford to lose the chance of n station in Japan,
if wo get Port Lloyd. Altogether I have employed
my timo pleasantly and profitably, since entering tin
service. We returned on the 23d. and found the Ply
mouth in from Shanghai with the mails—my first dcwf
from home is nearly seven months. We leave here
tar Jeddo in throe days. The length of our stay is ol
course uncertain, but as soon as I get back again to
some Chinese port, 1 shall resign, and make straight
across the Pacific. I have a mighty hunger to get
back to Civilization. I am tired to death of barlmr-
Ians, especially of the Chinese, with their mon
strosities and abomitations, and I suppose tho Japan
ese are not much better. What I see of the opera
tion of tile Japanese laws in Loo-Choo disgusts me. 1 ‘

Cleaning Stained Cotton.—Joseph R. Black, of
Abbeville, S. C., makes the following communication
to tho Indejundent Press, which may be very valuable
to tho cotton planters, all, or nearly all of whom bavo
stained cotton this season. Let the method be test
ed :
Mr. Editor:— Having discovered a simple process
by which cotton soiled by the late rains may be cleans
ed and whitened, I make the suggestion tar the bene
fit of fanners. Take a common wheat thrasher and
raise the cylinder ono inch, tho box one-half inch,
which will throw tho frails an inch from the cross-bar.
and by placing tho cross-bars an inch apart tho dirt
and trash pass through and fall in a heap near tho
thrasher, and separately from the cotton. In this way
I cleansed enough dirtv cotton to make Home three
bales of ginned cotton in about two hours. It can be
cleansed as fust as several hands can feed the thrash
er. and when done, is as white ns that which has open
ed since tho rain. Very respectfully,
Joskph H. Black.
