Their tciu are nndefined—their apeedy and proper j-irlepment ia a matter of vital importance to ^ whole State. Look at Pcnnaylvania and ml. the hiatory of the development of her cool mi iron field*, and ita effect upon her increase a population, mannfsetnres, commerce, and w^th. The remits therd show ocmelnaively the radon of the policy punned. As in North Gairgi* we have these minerals in abundance, it ii unpoaribla for yon not to perceive the great afnatage to the State of their development. Bet I spoke of Pennsylvania because tho ro- them tie a practical illustration of the knits of the policy I would pursue in Geor gia Twenty-five yean ago, only, ibe adopted ike policy of development. Persons present turn how rapid the growth of her ooal and iron atutsl has been, and to what it is to be attrib- tad. Ii is mainly due to the liberal manage- ecst of the Pennsylvania railways. They pur- ■ssd the policy of reducing freights on coal and Ins to low rales—lower than those of any other roods in the oountry. The burden of expense to >t one time so great and the profits so small thatthoy were almost ready to give up the ox- Diriment in despair. But they persisted ; tho besioess began finally to increase, slowly but SMdily, until, after a few yean, they felt jnati- fed in making a still further reduction. Their bainevi continued to increase—fine profits were tMlircd, snd now, I believe, the profits on ooal od iron freights alone, on the linos doing n itgnlar heavy business in theso articles psy a bubonic dividend on their aggregate capital The Suto Road of Georgia, in conseqnenoe of in position, has hitherto had the monopoly of Ibe carrying trade between Tenneeaoe and lie West and Northwest, and a largo portion of ikUma, and all of Georgia and Sonth Caroli na Taking advantage of this position, high ubilnry rates were exacted, to the detriment of i£Tiealtnml and other portraits, especially of Ibe Coal and Iron interests. Deeming this a niiUken policy, I hare reduced the rates on ooal and iron, (hy which tho development of tbeee interests has been stimulated,) and on rocb leading articles of food as baoon, oom. ■host. Hour, etc. A second reduction has had tie effect of still further stimulating their de velopment, hut at the aacrifioe of immediate pipit to tho road. Vto are now, probably, car- lying ooal and iron at lower rates than any other to«d in the country. Now for the practical re «l!S: Fuel, like food, is an article of primo neecssi ly to rich and poor alike. To cheapen it to the eoosmaer ia to do a material service. Until the might was reduced nearly one-half, ooal was "tattle used in Atlanta. Since the reduction, aovDTrr, the consumption for domestic pur poses has more than quadrupled. As one ton u kmI is claimed to bo equal to threo corda of »«>d for heating properties, and as cosLis sold mv in Atlanta at $5 50 per ton, it i« dear that a generally nsed, the saving to the soven thou- ■ad (or more) families of Atlanta would ap- pmiimate 8200,000 per annum. Tike Other interests. The Rolling Mills and foundries of Atlanta uao about fifty tons of ooal •"day.

We may not have i^ or if we have.we bji ;,° invest it in a business new to us. But ja..ung out proper inducements—by show- ing to capitalists elsewhere how profitably it can bo employed here, it win come by hundreds of thousands. There are men all through .the or *h—men of capital, energy, experience and enterprise—who have strong desires to come South, but they hesitate about coming note. To all such I have said “come! bring your capital atid experience, and help us to develop and build up, and you will receive a hearty wel come:’’ ThisdesureexistafromMainetoOmaha, snd we have only to adopt and punrao a liberal line of policy, fit aU retpecU, to secure aU the beneficial results so much desired. Aware of this very general desire on the part of Northern men; of the opinion generally prevailing that the South was unhealthy: and that we over-estimated our resources, I eon- ceived the project of offering low rates of fare to persona wishing to visit and examine proper ty in the South with a view to investment and settlement. Accordingly, I issue a can last De cember for a Convention, which met in Atlanta in January. Two days were spent in consulta tion. Conceding that the roads might be the victims of fraqd to some extent, it was never theless determined to try the experiment, and the fare over nearly all the leading roadt in the Sonth was reduced to two cents per mile, nntil July 1st, 16C9, to all coming South in good faith for the purposes indicated. I had the honor of being appointed chairman of the Standing Com mittee, charged with c-xecnting the details of the plan, and am pleased to report that, al though the arrangement did not become gener ally known in the North until after the uied to dccelop the re- had been put in tho ground, many hundi have visited onr section within the past months, all of whom have been favorably im pressed, and many of whom have invested, and will mako their homes here. The immediate results of this experiment were so satisfactory, and promised snch really incal culable benefits, that I cosily obtained the con sent of three-fonrths of the roads originally con senting to the reduced rate, to extend the time to July, 1870, while some of the remainder agreed to recognize the eertfleates from October 1st, I8«!f, to May 1st, 1870. This liberal action will induce many additional thousands to vkut the South for investment or settlement, who, but for it, would not have done so. Thus will our population be increased hy farmers who will im prove our wild lands, and add to our products; and by skilled miners, and machinists, and man ufacturers, who will bring or command capita], and develops our mineral and other resources, augmenting onr wealth, influence and power. Then was conceived this Excursion for the Press of Georgia, believing that by giving you, gentlemen, an opportunity of seeing/«r pour, uitee, a portion of the vast resources of our immediate section, and the publication through your journals of your observations, would be the simplest, cheapest, and surest way of get ting the desired information before the oountry. Northern journals will repnblish much of what you will write, and Urns Northern labor and capital will be attracted to our fields, mines, and water powers. Now, gentlemen, a few remarks as to the policy of the State Road, as to competing lines building and projected, and what ahonld be done for its protection. Tho prevailing idea has been, that the road waa projected and built with a view to its pay ing money into the treasury. Consequently, taking advantage of its position as a trank line, poaseased of a monopoly of travel and freight lietween great sections, high and military rates of freight have been exacted. Dissenting from this view, and under the oon viction that the wise statesmen of the past who originated this great work—which, when origi nated, waa regarded a gigantic contemplated tte being need to tourcci of the State, I have adopted potloy, already indicated in my opening remarks. To cheapen food to the laboring eontumer, I re duced rates on article a of food of prime necessi ty, as already stated; to cheapen fuel, and stim ulate the search for, snd the opening and work ing of ooal mines, and thus •nonumge the erec tion of furnaces, and foster them afterwards, I reduced the rata on ooal noarly one-half; and, still farther to encourage the' production and manufacture of iron, I very materially reduced the freight on pig, and merchant bar iron. But, gentlemen, I did not stop here. I told connect ing roads that I wanted liberal through rates— that I proposed to reduce to very low rates— and that I wanted their co-operation, no a* to place our iron product before Northern dealer* in their oicn market*, where lira* ran rinerda com. parieon would be adeantageous to the Southern product. Some demurred at first, bnt finally consented, and the transportation of these ar* tides has greatly increased. I do not oensnre any one for the policy here tofore pursued—bnt had it been broader and more comprehensive—more in accordance with what ita projectors contemplated, farnaoea and S undries would long sinoe have been established l along the line, devdoping these dormant re sources greatly to the advantage of all the other great interests. It ia well known that the State Road has been regarded and nsed as a political machine—and that the payment of money into the State Trea sury has been considered a strong card in tha hands of the party in power. It is fair that I should state that I could easily pay forty, or even fifty thousand dollars into tho Treasury, instead of twenty-five thousand. I could do it by simply neglecting the road itself, its motive power, or by increasing the freisbton oom, and the other prime neoeasaries of life transported over it. Butin the one osbo the property would soon become valueless—in the other I would take the additional profile out of the pockets of the poor man and the day laborer. Every dollar thus paid into the treasury would cost the people tiro—development would cease—capital would be discouraged—snd then laborers would be without employment Thus, gentlemen, while money may not be taken from the pockets of the people, by high rates of freight, that it may m paid into the Treasury and squandered by reeUeas legisla tion, tho policy I have endeavored to inaugurate will improve tho road every year, reduce rates of freight on food and fuel, thus cheapening liv ing, and encourage the development of dormant resources, affording employment to the laborer, increase tho comforts of all, and enrich the State. It is generally believed that the road is in good condition. This is a mistaken idea. To make it a first-class road in nil respects would require half a million dollars. If left to the dic tates of my own judgment—the profonnd con victions of my own mind, an to what I thought for the best interests of the State in regard to ita management—I would use every dollar of its surplus earnings until ita entire length was well ballasted, all its depots pnt in the best possible condition, new rail of the best manufacture placed wherever needed, all the bridges built of the best material and on the most, approved plan, and commodious, substantial, fire-proof shops built In every detail, from the most im portant to the minutest, I would have it first- class. Having done this—still keeping in view the great leading idea that tho road was origin ally projected and built not to build up and subserve tho interests of this or that partisan organization—not merely to pay a few dollars into the State Treasury—but to develop the inter- e*t$ and build up the power and influence oj Georgia—I would find the net profits, and then reduce tho rates c* freight to the lowest possible point that would pay current expenses and main tain tho road in aU its appointments in a first- class condition. By this policy the protperity of Georgia would be increased to a wonderful extent, andthe in creased ealue of aU taxable property would cause to be paid into the Treasury a much larger ■amount than has been or is note paid by the road. X word, now, as to the future of the road, and toe effect upon it of other lines building or pro- ject. d—and ; -rmit me, gentlemen, to ask your Au I have already intimated, the position of the bt ite road has enabled it to exact high rates. This w:,s because it enjoyed a monopoly of the ir.vi, I mid trade from the Northwest and from East Tennessee and Southwestern Virginia to the Soutb-Atiantic States—South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, a largo portion of Alabama, and even a part of Mississippi. Bnt now it is different. Lines already built have taken away a portion of the travel andfreight, and lines be ing bnilt and projected, and which will certainly be completed, will take away still other and greater portions. Let me demonstrate my propositions, taking Nashville, Tenn., as an initial or central point. Heretofore freights for Montgomery and points in central and Southern Alabama have been transported tit Chattanooga and the Western and Atlantic railway, the distance being 401 u.:'"-. «.•!. grades on the Nashville and Chatta nooga railway of 105 feet to the mile. A road is in operation from Nashville to Decatur, 122 miles, from which point one is being bnilt to Montgomery, 183 miles, making the distance only Mj miles, or 159 miles less than rid the State Road. The highest grade on these lines is about 80 feet, or less, per mile. The distance to Columbus, Ga.. from Nash ville rid Decatur and Montgomery, Ala., is only 402 miles, over an easier grade, against 42S miles rid Chattanooga and Atlanta, showing an advantage over the State Road even to that city of 26 mues t The Selma, Romo and Dalton Road is com pleted and working between Selma and Rome, and will soon be completed to Dalton. The dis tance from Naahville to Montgomery ria Chat tanooga, Rome, Lime Kiln, andthe Montgome ry and Decatur railways is 426 miles, while rid Atlanta and West Point it is, as before stated, 464 miles, showing a difference against the State Road of 35 miles 1 The Alabama and Chattanooga railway,between the latter city and Meridian, Mias., is being rap idly poshed forward to completion. Thus yon will observe that the travel and freight between Nashville and Montgomery is os good as lost already to the Western and At lantic railway, and that at a day not remote, we shall have to compete for travel and freight with Alabama roads for Columbus business even, in th© Stat© of Georgia. Another line projected, which will doubtless be built, is that from Griffin, Ga., to Decatur, Ala., which will be 2S7 miles long. By thislme the distance from Nashville to Columbus, rla Newnan and West Point, will be 418 miles,with lower grades, against 428 miles via Chattanooga and the State Road, or 10 miles in distance against tho latter! The distance from Naahvillo to Macon, ria Decatur, Ala., and Griffin is 419 miles, against 892 miles by the State Road, showing an advan tage in favor of the latter of 27 miles. But the of the line via the Griffin and North Ala- town, and across the northern portion of the State to where it would intersect with the Blue Ridge railway. This line, as yon are aware, j would traverse a portion of Georgia including soil of rare fertility, iron ore, and copper mines of immense value and extent, medicinal springs and vast water power. By the local business of these aide lines the Western and Atlantic railway would i>e inde pendent of through freights, aid in deeetopiug untold treasures and be self-sustaining. f With out the development of this vast portion of the State, and the construction of these site lines, tho State road, (if the lines building and pro jected, to which I have directed your attention, are completed,) wUl not cover operating expenses. In conclusion, gentlemen, we should give onr hearty co-operation to tho various railway en terprises now in progress or projected, while at the same time guarding the interests of onr K State work, and extending to it a helping by building ode lines, whereby our vast rarces may be developed, the valnc of taxa ble property increased, and a local business crested, which, nnder all circumstance, would maintain this valuable property in a condition worthy the people of the great State of Georgia.

Theso are our present and impending dangers on tho West Y’ou will observe that n portion of travel and freight once ours is already gone, while roads projected, and others progressing to completion, will shortly take away a portion of what ia left. • Now, let ns aco what is doing on tho North and East: As I have already stated, tho entire travel and trade of East Tennessee has heretofore been monopolized by tho Western and Atlantic Rail way. This has been tho only railway over which tho peoplo and products of that prolific region could reach Georgia, Eastern Alabama, Florida and Sonth Carolina. As already shown. Middle, Southern and Eastern Alabama, are lost to ns; nnd wo aro threatened with tho loss of oven that portion destined for Columbus, on our own soil. The distance from Knoxville to Montgomery ri<J the Selma, Romo and Dalton Railway is 347 miles, against 385 miles ri'<i tho Western and Atlantic Railway—a distance against ns of 37 miles. The Bine Ridge Road, from Knoxville to Charleston, will soon bo completed. By this line the distance between Knoxville and Charleston will be abont 400 miles, against 518 miles ria tho State Road, a difference against ns of abont 118 miles. So that travel nnd freight from this direction is as good as lost to us. Tho distanco ria tho Blue Ridge, and tho Co lumbia nnd Augusta Railways, to Augusta, Ga., is about 295 miles against 381 miles by tho Western A Atlantic Railway, n difference against us of atxrat 86 miles. So that travel and trade aro lost Not only that—the Georgia Road can compctowitb tis for both nearly half-way its lino from Augusta. Gentlemen, theso facts need only to be told for yon to perccivu that the East Tennessee bu siness for Sonth Carolina and Eastern Georgia, once ours without competition, is irrecoverably one. Tbo Georgia Air Lino Railway from Atlanta via Gainesville (ami, probably, Walhalla, on the Blue Ridge Railway) to Charlotte, N. C„ is in progress, and will very likely bo completed to a junction with the Blue Ridge Railway, by Jan uary, 1871. An extension of tho Georgia Railway from Athens to Clayton, Ga, or a jnnetion with the Air Lino Railway, somewhere botween Gaines ville nnd the South Carolina line, is in serious contemplation, with strong probabilities that it will bo built. Tho construction of this last named lino will taka away from the State Road a largo portion of tho East Tennessee business left by the Blue Ridgo Railway. Look at, and ponder tho fig. urea. Tho distanco from KnoxvtUo to Augusta via Clayton nnd Athens, is abont 336 miles, against 881 via Stato Rood, a difference of 45 miles against ns. Tho distance from Knoxville to Atlanta is 210 miles, while the distance from Knoxville to Ath ens ria Clayton, is only about 220 miles, and to Union Point abont 260 miles; and to bring tho matter to o nice point,- I will state that the dis tance to Union Point, on tho Georgia railway ria Western and Atlantic railway, is 317 miles, against abont 2G0 miles ria Clayton and Ath ens ; showing a difference of about 45 miles against the State road. In conclusion, on this point, I will remark, that tho completion of the Bine Ridge road to Knoxville, and of the Air Line railway to a jnnetion with it, will form n competing lino with tho Stato road, even from Knoxville to Atlanta, so nearly equal will tho distance be ! It is, perhaps, proper to state that exactness is not claimed in every instance. Where roads aro completed nnd in working condition, the ares ore official; bnt whero partly construct or projected, the distances have necessarily been estimated, and, consequently, must be re garded as only an approximation—yet I think tho estimated distances sufficiently correct for all practical purposes, and to make good tho argu ment based on them. Now, gentlemen, yon will naturally ask what policy should bo pursued: what measures can be suggested, by which to mako up what is lost, prevent further loss of business, or secure other business from new sources. First, then, there is the railway projected from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, in which, as you all know, I feel and have taken a gre terest. This, when bnilt, will do an inn business, of which this road will get a fair 1 share, though it will bo divided by the several other lines radiating from Chattanooga. But even a large portion that we might have secured ( for Eastern Georgia and Sonth Carolina will be I diverted by tho Knoxville and Kentucky Rail- j way, which will tap the Cincinnati Railway at or near the Kentucky line. Another proposed remedy has already been discussed at length—namely, the encourage- 2VXXT iTiB, meat by low rates of freight, and byevery other | BOILERS, BRIDGE BOLTS AND CASTINGS, means in onr power, of the development of onr mineral resources, and of the introduction among ns along the lino of the road of shilled labor of all kinds, and of the surplus capital of the North. AYhat you will have seen before this excursion is over, will supply you with all the arguments needed to persuade labor and capital that this is the country in which to find profitable employment. My next suggestion is the purchase by the State of the Home Railway, and its extension to tho Alabama line with tbo least possible delay. From this point it is understood parties stand ready to build it to Decatur, Alabama. This will shorten the distance between Memphis and At lanta about seventy-four miles: while the dis tance between Nashville and Atlanta will be eighteen miles greater. But this distance will be more than compensated for by the grade be ing so much lighter on tho line from Nashville to Decatur than on that from Nashville to Chat tanooga— there being a difference in the maxi mum grades of the two roads of twenty-five or more feet to the mile. Next, build the road from Cartersville to Van Wert, that that vast mineral region may be de veloped, made useful to the world, and add to the greatness and power of Georgia, while en riching her people. Then build a road eastward from Cartersville, up the Etowah and amid the mineral wealth which lies imbedded in the mountains on either side of that stream, awaiting the coming of the miner and the locomotive, to swell still more the volume of Georgia's contributions to tha com forts and commerce of the world. Then build the road from Dalton to Morgan- for »U daraMlUx, ita>- •team power, ,J1 ro »wc\i* _ ^ ooerettii the kiad'of J sra*th*r“’»h l e d, Pr»is^bsiaTin'^the boa»£ rainy* a •^o°obstac!7 to«5feaff wooden screws* Another advent*** L«, when you rat ^choSeM’.
