The Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier writes on the 8th, that the charac
teristic reticence of the President has been
adopted in relation to Cabinet proceedings, and
nothing is allowed to leak oat; bat it is certain
that the coarse which Mr. Minister Motley has
been directed to take is such as to invoke no
danger even of a piquant diplomatic correspon
dence between him and Lord Clarendon. Mr.
Motley will in his interviews talk of everything
else tb«ti the Alabama claims and the Stunner
logic, and the new diplomatic epoch which Mr.
Stunner's speech is believed to have opened.
It is now certain, that in the opinion of the ad
ministration, no trouble with England will grow
out of Mr. Motley’s mission and instructions.
It is well that it is so, for some judicious per
sons, who know Mr. Motley very intimately,
have expressed the opinion that he is not well
suited by temper and tact for a critical and irri
tating negotiation.
The letter closes with the following paragraph:
Commercial men have lately felt some anxiety
in relation to the continuance of peace between
us and foreign nations, and also of peace in
Europe. They have, in reply to inquiries made
here, been advised from the' highest sources of
information, that there will be no trouble with
England, and probably none with Spain, if the
latter power should continue to treat our just
representations in the same friendly and liberal
maimer as she has lately done.

city, hsve been able to mix up
pleasure—fete* and finance*—in a very agree
able way. Let us note a few facts developed
by these reports and meetings which strike us as
interesting.
The first of these will refer to the Georgia
Railroad. This road has the name of being a
slow concern among the faster railway magnates
of the day, and yet its exhibition is extensively
satisfactory. We refer to a brief abstract from
the President’s report, which will be found on
the first page of this daily edition of the Tkee-
gbaih. It will be seen that the gross receipts
of the road are $100,797 38 in excess of those
of 18C8, and the net income, $83,542 CO greater.
With these results the President compares the
returns of connecting railroads which show for
the same period a falling off in their gross .re
ceipts as follows: Georgia Central Railroad,
$212,220 57-; Southwestern Railroad, $86,403
91; Western & Atlantic Railroad, $329,584 II ;
Macon <fc Western Railroad, $33,972 30; Atlan
ta A West Point Railroad,' $40,405 73, and the
South Carolina Railroad. $21,044 Cl.
It xrill also be observed that, although the car
riage of cotton on this road has sunk from 544,-
363 bales in 1800 down to 104,373 bales for the
year ending April I, 1809, the gross receipts
from freights were $35,852 and the nett receipts
$13,781 greater than in the year 1860. The dif
ference seems to have been made up in great
part by the enormous transportation of grain;
for while this road, in 1860, carried only 323,241
bushels of grain, in 1869 its grain freight run up
to 1,407,320 bushels. '
This is a terrible exhibit for the country, and
we suppose the contrast in the bacon freights
would be quite as great if we knew them. To
look at theso items in the business of the
Georgia Railroad alone, would justify the most
gloomy conclusions about the condition and
prospects of that portion of the State. The cot
ton crop—the only great article of exportation
—knocked down four-fifths, and the grain (prin
cipally Western com) freights increased in
about a similar ratio!
We should say such a country was on the
high road to rain; and in truth, though other
facts would very materially relieve the situation,
yet it cannot be a good one. No agricultural
country can prosper which importaita bread and
meat. It is bound to be poor, and the same
figures give a hint of the difference in the
pecuniary situation in the country tributary to
the Georgia Railroad. In 1869 the number of
barrels of flour carried by the road was 12,530,
while in 1860 it was 43,989. True, it maybe
that more wheat was raised or more manufac
tured from imported grain, but the chances are
that less flour was eaten.
In respect to the Macon and Augusta Rail
road, which is treated ns a branch of the Geor
gia Road, we are glad to see thst President
King says ho is informed the Road will be vig
orously prosecuted to Macon, and we hope,
therefore, the report that he has sold out this
enterprise has no foundation in fact. The
showing it makes is not discouraging for a short
work, in a condition which places its trade sub
stantially at the mercy of % competitor.

Augusta and Hartwell Railroad.
A Convention of corporators and subscribers
to the Augusta and Hartwell Railroad Company
was held in Augusta last Thursday, Hon. Eli
Lockhart, of Lincoln; in the chair and James A.
Gray, Secretary. The charter was read and ac
cepted, end the corporators named therein were
appointed a Provisional Board of Directors to*
whom were added Messrs. H. F. Russell, R. H.
May, James T. Gardiner, and James A. Gray,
of Augusta. R! L. Casey, was elected President
of the Company, H. F. Russell, Tice President,
and James A. Gray, Secretary and Treasurer.'
Books of subscription were ordered to be opened
in the counties of Columbia, Lincoln, Elbert,
and Hart, and in the city of Augusta, and each
member of the Provisional Board was authorized
to receive subscriptions. This road will be up
wards of eighty miles long, and pursue a course
nearly parallel with that of the Savannah River
above Augusta. It will give the counties named
an outlet to market, while at present they have
no better than wagon road and navigation by
flatboat down the river to Augnsta.
