To the Editors of the Georgian fy Journal:
I thank yon for the offer of a place in your
column* to reply to what purports to be a re
view of my letter to the people of Outhbert,
by an Upcountty Cracker."
l em unwilling to pass without notice the
statement of any writer Impugning my motives
and falsifying my views. My reviewer shall
har* an answer, without auyof the hostility
wh ioh marks his communication. He is in the,,
dark, whilst I am In the light. If I answer him
to the satisfaction of every intelligent and un*
prejudiced man in the country, he can continue
in concealment; If I fail to answer him, he
may shew himself, with tho laurel on his brow.
In June lost, the Directors of the Southwes
tern Railroad Company learned that an offer
bad been made hy the Brunswick A Florida
Railroad Company to the peeple of Georgia
and Alabama, in the ?Iclnlty of Raudolph
county, to construct a road from Eufoula to
Albany, with a view to its extension thence to
the oily of Brunswlok, If the«people would sub*
scribe half a million of dollars; and, fbrther,
that the same people had been Invited byibe
8., A. AG. Railroad Company to subscribe to*
wards building a road from tho Chattahooohee
river, through Albany, to the Savannah Com
pany’s road at.ormeaf .the Alaiamaha. At this
period, although much bad been said and pub
lished concerning the Main Trunk Road, there
appeared no subscription to that work, save
$200,000 tendered hy the corporation of Savan
nah, and It was uncertain whether the great
wad would be built, or if started, where the
line of It would run. The charter gives author
ity to carry the Una to any point on the Chat
tahoochee between the junettou of that river
with the Flint and Fort Gaines. The voice of
ajarge majority of the people interested seemed
to be in favor of the ThomasvUle and Bain-
bridge route. The Southwestern Company had
been long at work under a charter which au
thorised it to carry its road to some point inter
mediate the Flint and Chattahooohee, and
theno* on the one hand to Albany, and on
the other to Fort Gaines; and also to build a
branch to Eufaula. The Georgia and Florida
Railroad Company had begun to build
a road from Americas (the terminus, for the^
time, of the Southwestern Railroad,) to Albany,
and the Southwestern Company waa on the eve
of negotiating with that Company for the pur.
ohase of its road and rights to Albany. The
people of Savannah owned two*thlrds of the
Southwestern Road. It was clearly the interest
of Savannah that the Southwestern Company,
soon to be proprietors of the line from Ameri
cas to Albany, should take steps for the exten*
sion of their road from Americas towards Cuth*
bert, Fort Gaines and Eufaula. It was seen that
If such steps should betaken, there would,in all
probability, be no further effort to get a road
from Eufaula to Albany, to Savannah or to
Brunswick. The Southwestern Compkny de
termined to extend Its road towards Outhbert.
The people of Outhbert and the neighbor,
hood met on the 4th day of July last, to consid
er the matter of their railroad' connections.
Unable to attend the meeting, I addressed it a
letter, which I took occasion, before seudlng
It, to read to tbo Directors of the Booth western
company. . The Directors, on due examination,
gave the letter their apprpyo), audjt was de
livered hy one of them in person at the public
meeting. Near five months have passed since
that letter was published. Its statements have
not been disputed,nor have the motives of its an.
thor been impugned, until now, when an anony
mous writer undertakes^ he says,"to strip this
document of ttagaudy trappings,to cast them to
the right and left, aud expose its rottenness to
the public view.” We shall see, let me tell this
“up-country cracker,” whose "comb is cut” in
thia encounter, so rudely provoked by him
self.
The first assault which the reviewer makes is
upon my motives in dispatching that letter,
which ho politely calls an “edict.” He says it
is “an evident fling at the Savannah A Gulf
Railroad.” The utter folly of such an assertion
is easily showu. The President and Directors
of that railroad, u month after the publication
of my letter, issued an address “te the citizens
of Savannah aud Southern and Southwestern
Georgia." In that address is the following
paragraph:
“It waa papablo from the rei7 first, that a di
rect communication with the Atlantic was the
proper outlet for your section of oouutry, and
various projects were, from time to time,placed
before the public, having for their object the
conuectien of your section with various polite
upon the Atlantic—Brunswick, larien, Savan
nah. One scheme wan so far carried out as
that a long line of road between Albany and
the Ocmulgee was actually graded. But the
same -difficulty opposed Itself to ail these
schemes alike. U was that alluded toby Mr.
B. R. Cuyler in his late admirable letter to the
railroad meeting atCuthbert-the wide extent of
barren and unpeopled territory which bad to be
tossed over, before any road taking its departure
.Torn the Atlantic coast could reach the cotton
producing portions of your section. Private en
terprise was quite ready to grapple with those
portions of such a road as were likely to repay
its labor ; but whence woe the money to ome
which wat to bridge that desert, that hundred
miles of eand, whieh could neither now nor at
any future time be made remunerative ? All
the schemes either halted at that point, or
were paralyzed by the hopelessness of raising
the money necessary for the undertaking. The
Ocmulgee and Flint River Road made the at
tempt and failed. The Brunswick and Florida
Road in its projection likewise failed, its char
ter dating back as far as the year 1835. The
Savannah and Albany Road looked, in ita in-
cipiency, to English capital for the overcoming
or this natural obstacle. When the recent war
in Europe diverted English capital into ether
channels, and made help from that quarter
hopeless, it turned its looks away in despair
from your remoter sections,and sought a speed*
ier relurn for its expenditure in another direc
tion. Under theno discouraging circumstances,
an appeul was made to the Legislature of the
State to afford State aid to your section of
Georgia, us it had already done to the Nerth-
west. After various modes of rendering this
assistance had been rejected, in order to har
monize all contiioting interests, and with the
consent, as it was understood, of all the petto
turners for this assistance, the aot for the incor
poration of tho Atlantic and Gulf Raitraad
Company was passed, which offered the peouw
niary assistance of the State to the amount of
ooemijlionof dollars, upon certain conditions
specified in the act, thus enabling the desert and
unpeopled district if which wt hive spoken to
be crossed at the expense of the State. The aot
contemplated a judicious union of State assit*
lance and private enterprise, and enabled every
portion of Beutbera auu Southwestern Georgia
to choose ita own outlet to the Atlantic by put
ting ita shoulder to the wheel.”
The Reviewer would have the public believe
that 1 made false statements in my letter to tern
the people to the Soujh Western Road, he
scouts my statemmU.and imperiously says—
“away with them.” The' President of the
Brunswick Company attended the meeting at
Outhbert, where my letter was publicly read In
his presence and that of the assembly, and
there, himself, acknowledged, as the official
record of the meeting shews, that It waa the
true interest of the people to connect them*
Halves with the South .Vestarn Road. The
.prompt action ot the SoutU Western Company,
then, and not my letter, put an end to all fbr
ther effort to Induce the people of tho West to
build from the Chattahuchce near Eufaula eith
er to Savannah or toAlbany. That action turn
ed all thoughts to the passage of the Main
Trunk Road through the lower country, and I f fy^mllM |n breadth, and It wtUaveraj
flitter myself,’ that ita wisdom Is seen, not . only
by ray fallow citizens of Banunah, but of the
whole South West—in fine, by every one ex
cept those owning lauds between Doctor
Town and tho Flint, from the lower line
of Baker to the lower line of Dooly,—
And I would fain hope that among the latter
are men of liberality enough to say that It cannot
be reasonably expected that a Rail Road should
run through their section. It is said In the pub
lic prints of Bruuswlck aud of Macon, that this
section is to be flavored with a line from Macon
to the Brunswick Road. For the sake of the
people of the section referred to, I should be
glad to see the Macon and Brunswick rOad
built, but candor com pels me to say I appre
hend It never will be built. Such a road could
never be made to pay its owners. The Review
er is evidently angry at the complete snocesa
otthe movement of the B. W. Company. He
says that the people, by turning to that Com
pany, have, “ placed shackles on their own In
dustry by which they are constrained, forever,
to transport their supplies and the produots of
their labor a distance of from eighty to one
huudred miles further than what would Beem
their nearest and most legitimate route.” This
“ madness of the people," however, it is said,
might be excused, if that were the only fruit of
the letter. But another complaint of my amia
ble critic is, that my letter, with Capitallsta
abroad, “ will have the effect of crushing,com
pletely the credit, and thereby, stopping the
progress of the Savannah* and Gulf Rail Road.”
Remarkable discovery!) which the President
aud Directors of tho Savannah Company fail
ed to make, but of which the astute “ up coun
try cracker" has tt*e entire credit. He has
kindly journeyed down tho country to let the
people or Savannah know that they have among
them a man, ut the head of their leading Rail
Road, who knows nothing or their interests!
but who has had the folly to write a letter the
publication of which is “ fraught with incalcu
lable miichisf'—a mat; who has informed the
world “thatthere are yet 150 miles more of
that terrible pine barren to be passed before
the Savannah, A. aud Gulf Rail Road reaohes
Albany, and that after getting thero, there is
dread that there is nothing beyond Albany
that will ever pay the expenses of the road.”—
I opposed and deprecated the building of the
road of 150 miles from the Alatnmaha to Alba
ny. and now, as I havo shown above, there Is
no fear that it will be built. Happily, there is
no subscription from any quarter towards it—
Such a Hue, If attempted, might, indeed, have
crushed the credit, destroyed the life of the Sa
vanna A GuirCompany, Thanks to the Legis
lature, Savannah has only seventy miles of
Rail Road to build. The Savannah A Gulf Co.
will very soon Bbow their road finished, and
leading into the Main Trunk. The address to
whioh reference has been made declares that
the Company has funds to build it. The aid of
Capitalists from abroad, who never yet, by the
way, advanced any money to build our Rail
Roads, is not wanting. The Savanuah Com
pany has no need to borrow money to complete
their work. If Capitalists desire an investment
in Georgia, they can now subscribe to the
Main Trunk, in company with the State of
Georgia—herself a subscriber for half a mil
lion, with Statute promise of a million. May I
not ask if it is not rediculeus to speak of my
orushing the credit and stopping the progress
of tho Savannah and Gulf Rail Road?
But, according to the Reviewer, I have sin
ned yet more—I have reppreaented one-third
part of our great State to be a terrible barrier
to all future Rail Road enterprises, and brand
ed lt as a sandy, unproductive barren—I have
served to discourage settlement, and to check
emigration of Planters from the States North
or us—I have undervalued the property and
resources of a large part of our citizens—'" and
the lost but not the least mischief resulting
from the publication of this letter will be that
the oredit of the olty will be sapped and shak
en." The leading object of my Reviewer is
transparent. He seeks and fancies he has the
power to bring me into discredit with the in
habitants of the region,by others befroe Aim,and
ty him, called the Dsstrt, and with the people
of this city. Hobos undertaken to shew, not
simply that my calculations were eroneous, and
my judgment wrong, but “ to shew" that the
region of which I spoke as scanty in ita pro
duction, “ it the most valuable agricultural re
gion in our State." This bold assertion may,
possioly, startle those who have always, hither
to, without the least doubt, looked upon the
country refered to as by far the least produc
tive^ Georgia. It does not surprise me, for
it is but the common talk of Land speculators
horde of whom invaded Georgia as early
os 1794, before the Indian title was extinguish
ed, made surreys, ostensibly, in the county of
Camden, whose western boundary they cen-
■tiued to extend to the South Sea, and “sliln«
gled over” with grants miles upon miles of the
land embraced in this region, west of the Ala-
tamaha, lands since lottaried by the State -re-
jectedor neglected by the “fortunate draw-
rod thon—by thousands of acres, grant
ed by (be State to the first‘applicant at from
ten cents down to a cent an acre. There is
now a Timber Company in London, claiming
nnder such grants over a million of these acres
-embracing tho whole of one county, and parts
of other counties within the area. The race
of speculators is not extinct. It is true that
the speculators of the present day, unlike those
of the olden time, whose assignees have lately
appeared, have valid grauta and good title,
but when was a Land Speculator ever known
to undervalue hta property ; when did k he ever
fail to “flare up”if any one should in bis opinion
underrate it? Indeed, I must acknowledge it
U not in human nature for any man to under
rate his possessions.
What did my letter say of the region of
Country under consideration ? I repeat it for
easy reference:
«ir you will cast your eye on the map of
Georgia, at the place where the Slit parrallel
ot North latitude crosses the Flint, river, in De-
cater county,and thence ran It Easton that
parallel to the sources of the river Suwannee,
lu the county of Clinch, then Southwardly to
the Southern boundary of the State, and along
that boundary to a point on the St. Mary’s riv
er, distant twenty-five miles trom the town of
St Mary’s, thence in a direct line to a paint on
the Savannah river twenty miles above Savan
nah, thence op Savanuah river to the lower
part of Burke county,thence Westward to Flint
river in Dooly county, and thence on the East
ern margin of the Flint to the place or begin
ning, the eye will embrace an area of land e-
3 uoi to one-third part of the whole area of
ieorgia. If you will calculate the slave as
well as the white population, and the produc
tion of Cotton, wltnin the area so embraced,
you will see that the slave population is not a
twenty third part of the whole—that the white
population Is not a tenth part or the whole—
of the population of the State, and that
the cottou is not one aixtaenth of the whole pro
duct or Georgia. The region referred to la
that great pine belt which intervene! between
the sea coast and the mixed oak and hickory

daringly proclaim* 7 The gentleman does not
like me. I have told the truth, and It b not
palatable to him. It may, for aught I know,
interfere with hta proipeeta He has lnadrer
tently attributed to me greater power and Influ
once than I possess.
ft is neeessary to remark, that although
my reviewer says that any child can trace the
lines whioh I have given to the region whom
value to in controversy, hi has not marked
them ae I marked them on my map when I
wrote my letter, or aaf Intend.-. On the east
my description ran up to the lower pari of
Burke county. It would here been more die.
Unct if I had said the lower fine of Burke.
Tho reviewer hae uo Justilcatton for taking in aa

to the lower purl of Sumter. Again—the re
viewer has no excuse for carrying the line na he
dees to Travelers’ Best, In the extreme north
ern part ol Dooly, so aa to take In part of
Houston county. I admit that it would huvu
been better III hud designated the point on
Flint river in Dooly county; still, I repeat that
he had no excuse for taking In the whole of
Dooly oounty or Laurens county, Polaakl conn,
ty and Emanuel oounty. Even, however, with
the addition of the stoves In these counties en
tire, he could not bnve made the atove popula
tion exeeed 97,000—when he made it 34,000.
The reviewer hae omitted Effingham county,
three-fourths of which are within my lines.
I had the map ot Gtoorgte and the census of
population of 18(0 before me when I wrote my
totter; I had net the census ot ihl production
ot 1850 before me. I sought general accuracy,
but did not pretend ta the minuteneaaof n statis
tician. The region described by me, and ln>
tended by me, embraces the counties end parte
of counties mentioned in the table annexed to
this totter. A pert of formerly Camden (now
Charlton) is within my area—but this to not a
matter of mueh importance. Of this region, I
said the white popntatlon to not a tenth of the
whole white population of the State. Thiele
not disputed by the reviewer, end to indisputa
ble. I said the slave population to not n twenty-
third part of the whole in the Btate,and that the
product in cotton to not n sixteenth of the
whole produet. 1 have carefully reviewed the
subject, and And the slave population to bo not
a twenty-second part, and tho product In cot

It will be recollected that the reviewer makes

1850 over 34,000. I make it less than
20,000. He makes tbs product in Cotton
in 185$, over 40,100. I make it less than 10-
000. He does not say what he considers the
Slave population in 1866—nor does be Hy
what he considers the rate of inorease in Slave
population sinoe 1850. He uyi that he has no
doubt the Cottou product has doubled since
1850, which Is just the same as saying that the
Cotton product of 1856 is (within my area) over
80,000 Hales!! I desire here to repeat the
very words of the Reviewer m to tho value of
the region in controversy. He says—“ I will
shew that this terrible pine barren beltis the most
valuable agricultural portion of our Stats and
that the Savannah, Albany £* Gulf Mail Road.
will be a more important avenue to the trade of
Savannah than the Central Rail Road."
The Reviewer has attempted to prove this,
by drawing a line from West Point to the River
Savannah on the dividing line between Bleb-
mond and Colombia Counties, calling all the
portion of Georgia Northward of ..that Una aa
ana equal to my area below, that Is, about one-
third of the State, and then comparing tha two
areas or thirds—hit area and myarea—he gives
tha population and cotton product In 1860 of
his Oak and Hickory area, thus—White popu
lation 106,000. Slave* 153,000. Cotton, 194-
000 Balsa, and says—'’ Here then the Record
shows that there Is a greater number of Na-
groes in proportion to the white population—
that there is more Cotton made to the band
and that the yield of Cotton to the acre to
greater in the desert than in the Oak and lilok
bry region.’! The utter, falaoy of this concln-
slon of the Reviewer is shown in an Instant;—
He embraced iu his area the following counties
which are not Cotton producting Counties, via:
Raban, Union aud Gilmer whioh according to
he last census did not produce 'one Bale of
lotion, and Dade, Habersham, Lumpkin, Mur
ry, Walker, Hall, Cherokee and Gordon, whioh
together, produced only 1244 bales of Cotton
but had 9820 Slaves. The white population in
those eleven ouuuties was about 84,100 in 1850.
Improved lands in them 322,000 acres. The
Reviewer says to this white population, which
to double that of the piue belt. tot. that the
number of Nogroes is greater in proportion to
the wholo, in the piue bolt than in their region.
2d .that there is more Cotton mude to tho hand in
the piue belt than in their regiou^nd 3d,that tho
yield oi Cotton to tho acre is greater in “the
desert” than in their Oak and Hickory lands.
That white population will reply—tot, If the
pine belt does hold more Negroes iu proportion,
that is no evidence of the greater value of tho
pine land, for ours is a regiou better adapted
to white than to Slavs labor. 2d, That ours
do** o°t pretend to be a tiotton growing coun
try ; ita altitude it too great for raising that
staple, and 3d, That as our country 'does, not
grow Cotton, it is out of the question to com
pare it, In Cotton product, with a region which
pioduces nothing but Cottofl Jor market, All
these remarks are applicable to a full fourth
of the Reviewer’s Oak and Hickory area. But is
knot in the power of this Urge mountain pop
ulation to retort on this Reviewer and say
Boast not too much of the value of your pine
belt—you do not raise enough Cotton to the Ne
gro to brag. In eight of your whole Counties
iu the pine area, contiguous, you k bavo 6382
Negroes aud raise only 2535 bales of Cotton
in two of these eight count.es you have
810 Negroes and raiso but 160 Bales of Cots
ton. Is it not In my power to throw iuto the
Reviewer’s toeth his vain aud uncivil—“atony
with" such statements ?
In further Illustration of tile greater value of
the region indicated by me, the Reviewer, in
tabular statement, cotnpares Putman. Bald
win, Jasper and Jones, with Dooly, Baker,
Thomas and Lowndes. This comparison is
worse than falUcious, for the reason that three
fifths of Dooly county, two-thirds of Baker
county, two-thirds of Thomas county and three
fifths of Loundea county are not within my de
fined area. I say, “ away with" such state
ments—they are grossly unfair. Compare
Putnam, Baldwin, Jasper and Jones with the
fear whole counties in my area, which produce
most Cotton, Vis; Sorivon, Bullock, Telfair
aud Ware, and see to what it will lead.
Such are all the proofs, adduced by the re
viewer to show that “ the Desert ” is the most
valuable agricultural portion of the State.
In Addition to what I have said, I will, in
brief space shew, that the region or third defin
ed by me is far below either of the other two-
thirds of the State.
Take the Tax Digest of 1852: Of all Georgia
the lowest county, in value of lands, was Wayne
(over 60 years acouuty)—the next lowest (ex-
cept Rabun) Appling, next Montgomery, next
Ware,next Irwin, next Clinch,next Effingham,
next Tattnall. Again, take the Tax actually
assessed in 1855. Thirteen counties paid nn
der one thousand dollars of Tax, vis;
'Ware, $892,39. 9 GUmer, 823,00
Wayne, 898,74. 10 Fannin, 742,00
Worth, 783,06. 11 Dade, 700,19
4 Irwin, 839,34. 12 Pickens, 742,55
5 Clinch, 999,17. 13 Rabun, 499,34
6 Charlton, 580,75
7 Montgomery, 985,16
8 Telfair, 776,34
and Appling which pays $1022,89 is tbs next
lowest in order.
not.think it will raise Sugar and Molasses for
transportation over the Rail Roads, though ths
quantity bo doubled every six years during the
present, generation. I beg the “tip country
cracker" to bear iumlud a fact (qf which he
Meftri not to be uware) that If just Sugar and
Molasses enough be raised for the supply of Ita
people, tjie.Ruilroada will derive no profits for
carrying those articles to them.
The Reviewer lost sight,entirely,of hto prom
ise to shew that the Savannah, Albany A Gulf
Road will be a more valuable avenue to Sa
vanuah than the Central Road. I will consider
thia merely “ a filing M at the Central Road and
relieve him from his promise by the simple,
but sincere declaration, that if it shall so prove,
it will give me more heartfelt gratification than
lie could possibly experience from being the
owner of all the blocks of plantations whioh
may ever be established West of the Alatama-
h&. There is nuotuer “ fling ” at the Central
Road, namely, that it once had a sliding scale
of freight at Macon and broke down the Boat
ing balances ou the Ocmulgee. Before the
Central Road was completed, when the River
was low, Cotton paid tbreo dollars a hundred
to be hauled to Savannah. It was the common
cry, during the progress of the road, that If it
could reduco the carriage of merchandise and
produce to one dollar per hundred,'as a uniform
rate from Macon it would be a blessing. The
rate of Cotton is forty cents aud on merchan
dise generally lower. And yet with the Review
er, the Central road is a cruel monster. There
is still another fling at the Central road, which
carries a curious conscqueuco with it. The
Reviewer speaks as if t tie Central road, by its
oruel and arbitrary management, bud ruiued
“ the desert,” and yet he makes the present
Cotton product thereof 80,000 Bales—or double
what bo says it was seven years alter the Cen
tral toad waa finished; aud he has scarce a lim
it tor the Sugar and Molasses which it will
iroduce. Alter this, he will relieve me from
the imputation of uooly sitting in the Carpet
ed Bank parlor, to underrate the value ol alarge
part of the State of Georgia.
The inconsistencies of ..this Reviewer cannot
escape uu intelligent reader. After bis first ta
ble add his urguweut thereon, he uses these
terms: “ to it auy wonder then that its white
and Slave population, together with ita pro
ducts should so greatly exceed that of the pine
region which had not. a single mile of road
built within its borders save sixty miles of tbo
Central Rail Road.” Why, et me oBk, did
that Ouk and Hickory region-get ita six huu
dred miles of Rail Road, white the pine belt
could only get sixty miles V Because there wus
population aud pioduction enough in the Oak
and Hickory region to invite and sustain the
fnvannnh Market, November. IS*

Here, then, we see ataglauce eight counties
a great part of my area, the eight lowest in
Georgia (except Rabun) In valuo of lands
sworn by their owuers in 1852. We seo also
how nine of those counties stood in 1855. If
this true plan of ascertaining values be carried
out by the Reviewer he will be ashamed that he
undertook “ to shew that this terriblo pins bare
ren is the most valuable agricultural portion of
Georgia.” What better, what more conclusive
proof that the Desert is.far surpassed in value
by either of the other thirds ? Before the Re
viewer got through with his task, he quaked a
little about this bold assertion, aud qualified it
thus“ The country South and West of the
Alatamaha and Ocmulgee River, now denounc*
ed by Mr. Cuyler as sandy, unproductive pine
barren, will bt found, as soon as tit's develop
ed by the Rail Roads now in progress to be the
most valuable agricultural portion of our state.'
“ In a few years, this whole region will be one
continuous block of plantations." Then, this
part of the region, Is, by the Reviewer himself,
confessed uot to be, yet, the most valuable ag
ricultural portion of Georgia. WillScreveni
Effingham, Bulloch, Emanuel, Telfair, Tattnall,
and the upper portion of Bryan,Liberty and Mo*
Intosh ever become “ one continuous block of
plantations?” I am sure I might have increas
ed myarea five miles in its whole Southern bor-
der to the Florida line and its Eastern border
and yet held my position.
H to then an absurdity to say that tha area
whioli I marked is not the least valuable of the
three divisions of the State ; it is a contradic
tion of authentic recorded figures to say so,
it is a deuial of the sworn values of the digest
to say so. That there are good farms and
good formers, within the region,I admit. That
in many parts, especially westward of the Al-
tamaha, it to capable of supporting iu inde
pendence, a much larger population than now
rests upon it, I likewise freely admit. But,af-
ter all, I must say it ton region, at this day,
just such as I described it in my Outhbert let
ter. It is uninviting, for the greater part, to
Rail Road enterprise. What I thought of the
Southern part of the State, outside of but adjoin
ing my area, will be found in the same Cuth-
bert letter an extract from which I now quote
“When, in 1835, the people of Georgia began
te turn their attention to Railroad improve
ments, a gentleman of Glynn,talented,wealthy,
enterprising and hopeful, procured a charter to
tralld L the Brunswick and Florida Road. He
saw stretching Northwestward, that long bar
ren region denying access to the heart of Geor-
I;ia. He saw, too, the people of Savannah de-
ermined to reach that heart^nd to revive their
drooping spirit from the fountain. Hto intelli-
K ent mind turned to the Southwest, and there
e saw on -the Southern border of the great
belt, a strip of laud rich in quality, healthful
in climate, ihviting a thrifty, industrious popu
lation, streching to our Western boundary, and
he Baw beyond the great harbor of the Gulf of
Mexico, Pensacola. He, wisely, I say it not
withstanding failure, wisely sought to connect
theGulf with tbs Atlantic at Brunswick.”
The region in dispute between the Reviewer
and myself will be vastly, improved by the Sa
vannah and Gulf road, reaching to a point 20
miles beyond the Alahamaha and by the Main
Trunk road, beginning the end of those 20
miles and destined, as 1 think, to go on,, after
receiving the embrace of the Brunswick road
and the Savannah road, by Magnolia, In Clinch*
by TroupvUle, Thomasvllle and Bainbridge to
the Western bank of the Cbatahooche River.—
The line will pase^ao near “the dssert" aa to
bring into activity that latent lime or other fer-
till*tug quality of which the Reviewer speaks,
for fifty miles, at least, in width, from the Sa»
tilla to the Flint. "The Desert”will not, I fear,
“ blossom as the rose" for many years; I do

enough to pay tho exptnees of roads, to not
this tho true reason ? The very existence of
Rail Roads in any portion of the State just
iroves tho greater value of that portion. This
s exactly true so far as roads havo been built
in Georgia. But if tho people shall disregard
the wise adinouitiou of tuo present Governor of
tho State,and graut Charters to Rail Roads as
matter of course, and spend money to build Air
Line Roads aud rival roads, the symmetry and
value of the Railroad Bystem or Georgia will
be destroyed, aud we shall, as a people, present
the sad spectacle shown in somo of the North
ern and Eastern portions of the Uuited States,
and in England—of reads which do not pay the
men who Guile them. Tho Reviewer to among
those who apeak flippantly of opposition air
iue roads as the most “ legitimate "—though
there be very good and sufficient Hues actually
in progress, He surely, caunot he a stockhol
der in any of the existing lines in Georgia. I
advise him to go into the Main Trunk.
The great length of his letter admonishes me
that I may exhaust the patience of the reader.
I ask a moment’s further indulgence, whilst 1
give brief auswer to those' portions of the re
viewer’s letter which seem to impute to me
the lack of understanding. He says I am
wrong in attributing the prosperity of Savan
nah to the building of the Central Roud. What
would be the condition of things if this rond
were taken up and blotted out—suppose it had
never been built? Would not the grass be
growing literally in our streets, and our city'bs
a mark of derision to all tho inhabitants of
Georgia ? 1 leave all men of common sense to
answer.
The reviewer says I seem not to be aware of
the extent of the great pine belt which in the
Southern States stretches from the hill country
towards the sea ; or of the lact that the Wil
mington, tho Manchester, the South Carolina
and the Central Roads are in that region.
Neither of these roads begins to pay profit from
anything derived from the pine belt; the con
nections beyond the pine belt, in every case
where there is remuneration to the BtocKbold*
ere, are the causes of that remuneration. But
to not that greut pine belt in North Carolina,
South Curoliun and Georgia the poorest and
least productive part of the country ? Is it not
just the region which is most backward in im-
rovement? Tim mountain men of other
itates have generally migrated to tho mountain
region of Georgia, tho men of tbo hilly country
to the hilly country, aud tho men of tbo pine
oonntry have followed the pine country. The
samo architecture, or want of architecture,
which prevails lu the pine barreua of North
Carolina, you will find throughout the samo
pino belt in Georgia aud Florida. The same
means of locomotion to market towns—pre
cisely tbo same carts, driven in tho same man
ner—you may see daily In the markets in Wil
mington, in Savannah, in Darien, in St. Mury’s,
and in Florida; andno where else than in, and
iu tho vicinity of, the pine belt. Why to there
this lack ot improvement, which every man
must daily see iu the pine land in Georgia? it
is because the land is the least valuable agricul
tural portion of the State.
My purpose is, I trust, accomplished, and I
take a final leave of the reviewer. One great
railroad, recommended by Governor Johnson,
and provided tor by tho wisdom and liberality
of the lost, Legislature, will pass through the

south of the area which I have defined, and it
will suffice for the whole area. The railroad at
Albany and the railroad at Bainbridge will
share the business of the valuable part of the
conntry ; existing interests will be supported,
and no injurious rivalry will ensue, but, instead,
a healthy, active competition. We want no
road to Albany to get to Montgomery, Ala.,
for wo have a railroad already to Montgomery,
near three-fourtbs of which have been built by
Georgia capital and enterprise. Aud we can
