The Oeorgin Western Railroad.
With ull due respect, we beg to be
excused while we call the attention
of the City Council to what we con
sider a matter of the gravest impor
tance.
We want tbo Georgia Western
Railroad built at all hazards. It
must be done! and in saying this,
we feel that we but re-echo the senti
ment of every man, woman and child
in Atlanta.
But a heavy portion of this great
work mast be done by this city. If
we are in earnest, earnest work must
ie performed—such as has not yet
entered into the minds of many of
onr people.
The first thing necessary is a thor
oughly zealous, able, and efficient or
ganization—the President and Direc
tors—to be composed of men of prop
erty, ability, influence, and the very
best business qualifications.
The President, Campbell Wallace,
is the right man in the right place.
This all freely admit. To him there
can be no objection.
The Directory chosen at the stock
holders’ meeting on the 5th July, lust,
consists of the following gentlemen
John P. King, John Collier, K. Y.
Clarke, A. w! Mitchell, C. W. Wells,
A. M. Speights, Thos. Alexander,
John II. James, F. P. Rice, and C. P.
Csssin
Mr. Alexander has resigned. Of
the remaining members John P.
King, John Collier, A. W. Mitchell
and John 11. James, arc eminently
proper men for their positions; but
we trust no one will be offended when
wo say respectfully that the other
members are not the men to push
forward this great work, nor even to
assist it, in the position in which they
ure placed. They can do the Hood
fur more efficient service in the ranks
than In command, and we do sincere
ly hope they will sec and appreciate
this greut truth, and resigu. We
know they earnestly desire the Road
to be built, and we feel very sure that
nothing is lacking, but for them to
be satisfied that others can serve bet
ter in their jositions, to secure their
prompt resignation and hearty co
operation in putting the right men in
their right places and sustaining
them in those positions in every
way in their power. We make this
remurk from our personal knowledge
of ull tho men. We know they have
the good of the Koud fur more at
heart than the gratification of them
selves in any way.
The City Council, in our opiuion,
acted without that careful considera
tion of what was best, when it chose
three of its own members us Direc
tors; and when, as u compliment to
tho press, it secured the election of
Messrs. Clarke and Speights. Each
of these five men are far better qual
ified to follow their several vocations,
than to bo Directors of a Railroad
Company, where a million of dollars
are to be raised! That idea of com
plimenting the Press, by choosing
two persons connected with it, sim-
ply because they were connected with
the Press, and not because of any
qualifications for the office, was, to
say the least, a very thoughtless one,
wholly unworthy tho occasion. The
support of tho Press of Atlunta did
not need to be secured in this way.
We venture to speak for ull, when we
say that this sop need not to have
been thrown, and for Tub Sun, wo
decline to recoivo it Mr. Speights
is ono of our Proprietors, and under
stands the business of publishing u
newspaper very well, hut has not
much experience in building rail
roads. lie did not dosire or seek the
position thrust upon him, and does
not desire to retain it lie has no
time to attend to its duties, and de
sires some on* who can uttend to the
business efficiently, to l>e put in his
place. We say this of Mr. Speights
because lie is one of the Proprietors
of The Sun, and by his authority.
We forbear applying onr remarks in
dividually to the cases of the. other
gentlemen. Wlmt we might say is
•t once apparent to oil
Now, in order to build this Road,
money must bo raised, and it will re
quire the united and earnest efforts
of ten of the very best men in this
city—men of first-class business and
financial standing, whose very names
will be a tower of strength—to raise
this money. The Board as at present
composed, cannot raise it; and un
less it ie reorganized, and men better
suited to the great work put in the
places of those named, Me enterprise
wilt fail and Me Hoad will not be
built! Wo say what we know—or
at least have the very best of reasons
for saying.
How much stock have C. P. Cassin,
C. W. Wells, F. P. Ilicc, E. Y. C larke
and A. M. Speights takon ? now
much can they take ? How
they arc not the men for the posi
tion.
I,et them resign, and let such men

Leyden, A. C. and B. F. Wyly, E. E.
Dawson, Geo. W. Adair, Z. A. Rice,

Weekly, and a number of others we
might name, be put in their places.
Messrs. Harris St Wreun.
Wc understand that the books of
the State Road, in charge of Muj.
McCalla, the general bookkeeper,
show that on the 27th day of Decem
ber last, there were some $19,000 in
cash in the hands of Isaac P. Harris,
the Treasurer, and some six or seven
thousand dollars in the bands of Mr.
Wrenn, the general passenger and
ticket agent.
We further understand that Maj.
McCalla has frequently called upon
these gentlemen (as well as others
owing balances) to settlo up, but that
they (Harris and Wrenn) have refus
ed to jury, and that never, until since
their arrest, have either of them made
the plea (when thus called on) that
they had money belonging to the
State, and were ready to pay it over,
os soon as any one could be found
authorized to receive it and give them
a legal receipt which would discharge
them and their sureties from ull lia
bility.
We have been informed that the
Governor designated Muj.McCulla and
a clerk to take fiill charge of the
books of the Road under the superin-
tendcncy of Foster Blodgett, and
close up all balances und unsettled
business; and that all efforts to get
Mr. Harris and Mr. Wrenn to settle
or to acknowledge indebtedness, have
been futile.
Now the question arises, would
they ever havo conic forward volun
tarily und paid that money over to
the State or any one else ?
If they really desired to pay over
tho money, some way of doing so le
gally conld have been fonnd—at least
this is our opinion. If they desired
not to j>uy it over, but to retain it,
their conduct is easily understood.
Mr. Wrenn and the State Fair
Money.
During the State Fair in October
last.the State Road run a special
train from the city to the Fair
Ground, charging a very exorbiant
price for tickets. Everybody sup
posed a very large amount of money
was tuken in from the sale of tickets,
and it is a matter of surprise to some
that Mr. B. W. Wrenn, the General
Ticket Agent of the Rood reported
only some $9,000 as tho gross re
ceipts from this source, while the
net amount, after ull payments, ex
penses und deductions were made,
was only some $8,500.
This account may be all right; we
do not know, and do not say it is not
right; hut many persons would like
to see a detailed statement of the
ticket money received on account of
the State Fair—one that will be full
and complete.

much can they secure to be taken by
their personal example, efforts, and

chosen? Do not misunderstand us;

The work which John Alexander
wanted to make of Tom Collier was
a noble undertaking, and if it had
been carried out according to the
original plans and intentions of the
architect, it would have I icon disas
trous for Tom. According to the
testimony of an old colored sister, he
“made those references which were
spoken,” and which reduced to fine
Dutch, would read that tho allega
tions in which John perceived the
red in Tom’s eye reflected tho senti
ments of the congregation, and he
got off with $25 and costs.

was perhaps tho biggest swearer in
Court If John Alexander didn’t
say whut Tom said he said, then
Tom is one of the biggest liars un-
hung. He swore frequently that
Alex, came to his gate and said the
most outragoous bad words known to
the blasphemer’s lexicon, and wheu
he asked Alex, if he wanted to fight,
and that if he did, lie—though not
being of a belligerent cast of mind—
would undertake to furnish him
with the best his kitchen afforded,
und that at this time Alex, did not
appear to wont to fight, and kept out
of it. The Court persuaded Tom to
come to see him again this morning,
when he would have a better chauce
to unsling himself with the tale of
his woes,
ANDY SANDERS
was on the Andy Johnson style, and
he had “my policy,” in regard to
other folks trying to run thu same
machine of which he had control.
Andy was supervisor of an old frame
shanty, and when two other members
of his cabinet camo in there to get
out of the rain, he remarked his poli
cy in such plain language, that they
were on the eve of resigning, but a
diplomat, in tho person of a police
man came along about that time and
offered his services in the ca
pacity of a High Commissionee,
and Andy was impeached. Ho told
the Cabinet that thoy would have a
lively time in putting him out. The
whole secret wastliat two oilier work
men had taken possession of his shan
ty and licguu sawing away as if they
lived there, without any “commis
sion” from him. Verdict $5 and
costs.
OEOROE ANDERSON
was accused by his wife of ill treat
ment. She testified that lie had
kicked aiid cuffed and abused her for
ten months, and that she could not
get along with him. He provoked
her to such an extent that she called
policemen and liad him arrested.
Geoige, to get even with her, called
another one aud had her arrested.
The Court dismissed the cnee ugainst
Mrs. Anderson, aud fined George $25
and cost.
STONEWALL JACKSON,
as he is called, was up for being drunk
and diaorderly. Stone, is a candidate
for Mayor, and is always treating or
getting aome of his constituents to
do so, and between them all “Stone
wall Jackson’s way” is a little varied.
His quartermaster did not come tip to
time, and the General was compelled
to ask for a truce till this morning.
NANCY WINN
was trying to win on the hand by call
ing another nigger woman’s husband
“her darling.” Of course the thing
wouldn’t win that way, aud a fight
ensued between the two wives. Nan
cy marched around for the inspection
of the Court, six children, whom
she said were sired by the husband of
(he other woman, and if that fact
didn’t give her a winning hand, she
would like for the Mayor to tell her
\fliat would. She was “heavy,” and
the points she made were good. His
His Honor told her he was sorry for
her, and if he hod his unrestricted
way with her “darling,” that he would
soon have him iu pretty much the
suruc condition us the chap whom
Phillip baptized, aud who went on his
way rejoicing. He thought such u
man deserved such un operation, and
a Tom cat’s fate would not be too
good for him. Brigham Young was
u decent aud reasonable man in com
parison. The coses were dismissed.
fcod the market is crowded with liorei-s,
about twenty car loads of horses having
already arrived. The demand Is very
light, and prims nominal There is no
doubt but that there will be a heavy de
mand (or stock daring the next season,
which in Atlanta runs from October to
April.
THE FIRST Kl-KI.I I.
CITY STOCK PEN.
> Important Enterprise.
The growing importance of the live
stock trade of Atlanta has created a de
mand for a stock yard—even a necessity
for a place of deposit for stock from
whence it can be distributed to tho
butohers in the city or shipped off to any
point on the railroads. To meet this
necessity, it required a largo investment,
and active, industrious men to put it in
operation, and the announcement that
Messrs. O. H. Jones & Beattie have taken
charge of the enterprise, is snffioient
guarantee to the stock raisers of the
West that they will not only have com
fortable quarters for their stock, bat that
such a convenience will afford them
quicker and better market for the stock
shipped to Atlanta.
THE STOCK PEN
is on the ground between Fort and Bell
streets, adjoining tire “right of way" on
the Georgia Railroad. Tire ground is
graded to tho pens, and tho best conven
ience* provided for loading and unload
ing horses, mules, cattle or hogs, directly
into the pens provided for each. For
HOUSES AND MOLES
a shed 100 feet square, with troughs for
feeding and watering, will be provided,
divided into sections, where lots can be
kept separate, and delivered to the con
signees in good order. Tho lots will bo
kept in good condition, as competent men
will be there to look after stock,
CATTLE AND ROUS
have large lots allotted to their reception,
with conveniences for feeding and water
ing. In this department a pair of Fair-
Imnk's 10-tons scales are provided for
weighing, which will savo time and trou
ble to both the buyor and seller,
BOARD FLOORS
will be put in the hog pens, in order to
moke them oomfortable, which is one
great advantage that hog drovers have
uot heretofore had. Last season hun
dreds of dollars of stock were lost in At
lanta, because of the lack of facilities
for penning. Even in passing through
Atlanta with ear loads of stock, the own
ers havo heretofore had considerable dif
ficulty in getting them watered and fed.
Now, at the City Stock Fen they can be
drivne off and on, after feeding and wa
tering, and sent to their destination.
And for the convenience of even deal
ers in this city, this enterprise will be of
great advantage, as their stock is taken
off the cars
nuts or CHARGE,
and delivered to them, without the ex
pense of a taking a half dozen men to
the earn, and waiting for the delivery of
stock. When these pens ore completed,
all the stock that comes to the city will
be delivered there, and shipped from
that point by special agreement with the
Railroads; therefore it will soon become
a regular

Gov. H. A Wise—Sir;—I improve the
present opportunity to warn you of your
danger, anil the consequences attending
the e:.edition of John Brown, now under
sentence of death within the limits of
your Btate. Mark it well.' Just so sure us
John Promt strings from the scaffold, or is
in any tray injured or dies, while in your
prisons, or tauter any circumstances suffi
cient to warrant the belief that he has met
with foul PLAY at YOUR hands, or at the
hands of the slave minioss of the South,
then just so sure—so help me God—in a
moment, when you think not, you will be
launched into the eternal trorltl. This is no
idle threat, for I solemnly strew; by
Almighty (soil, Hull J will net rest, day or
night, until I hare taken your life with the
lives fffour of your associates.
At the same time I will assist (even to
the lighting tf the matches and placing them
at the fuse,) in carrying out a favorite and
well matured plan hero at the North,
which is this: That of burning Harper's
Feriy, Charlestown, und a few other
places, (which I am bound by oath not
to reveal,) to the ground, and ulso to set
fire to every village, town and city South
of Mason and Dixon’s Line as soon as
practicable after the execution. You are,
then, aware how matters stand. Pro-
ceetl as you choose, but havo a care how
you sign your own death warrant, and
the warrants of at least four of your asso
ciates, in crime. I withhold my name,
particularly, because I desire my liberty,
that in esse John Brown is injured in the
least at your hands, or at the hands of
your Government officials, my dagger, or
ballet, or poison, may be forthcoming,
to send you for trial before the bar where
the murdered Thompson has already
been. If you should wish to uddress me,
there is only one way, viz: through the
oolumns of the weekly New York 1W-
bune, address to the Great Mountain Boy
of Ethan Allen Descent.

How's This I
A liquor merchant from Selma, Aa.,
was in this city the other day, and wa*
actually selling the retail dealers in this
town whisky to bo shipped from that
place. It may be because it was an unu
sual fancy article, which was sold at a
low price; bnt certain it is that the goods
were sold, shipped and havo been re
ceived here, and give satisfaction to tho
purchasers.
This, perhaps, sounds a little strange
to those of our merchants who have not
thought of this matter, and it is a Quo
chanco for the Chamber of Commerce to
get its hand in in the way of reducing
freights.
