Whittle—Dear Sir: I regret * 4 Editor* lelcgraph and Messenger: The card of President White, of the Macon k Western Railroad, impels me to make the following reply and statement, much as I dislike to obtrude myself upon the public. It may be remarked that in my note, which appeared in your issue of the 11th, I said, “X was not notified of the proposed meeting of the Board, as the other Di rectors were;” the plain and obvious meaning of which certainly is, that I was not informed of the proposed meeting by the President, of his own motion, and with an explanation of the object of that meeting, as was the case with the other Directors. In this card, he says X ap- E roached him on the subject, not he me; e does not say, and he could not say, that be infornfhd me of the object of the meeting, as he had done the other Direc tors. So much for my note and Presi dent White’s card. I left Macon on Tuesday afternoon, May 9tb, 1871, and went to Rome, Ga.; I returned to Macon on Saturday, May 13th,at about noon; from the 13th of May until the 25th of May—that dark day for Macon when the lease was made—I was, as usual, in the city every day, and was in my office more jhan is usual, for part of the time my partner was absent from home. On Monday morning next before the day of the lease, I went to my office about 9 o’clock in the morning. I either found the President of the Brunswick Road waiting for me, or he came in short ly after X did and requested me to invite the President and Directors of the Ma con and Western Board to go with a par ty to Brunswick on the following Wed nesday, and asked me to accompany them.. Shortly after, Mr. Hazlehurst left, say before 10 o’clock, I started to the Postoffice, and at Mr. Boardman’s store, met one of the Directors, who I asked to go with us. He replied he would like to do so very much, but that there was to be a meeting of the Macon and Western Board on next Thursday, and that he could not go as he would like to do. This was the first intimation I had from any source that there would be a meeting of the Board on that day. I went across the street to the Postoffice and there met Mr. James A. Nisbet; with whom, as I was returning back across the street, I fell into conversation about a law-suit which we are both of counsel. When we got nearly to the side-walk jnst below Mr. Boardman’s store, X happened to look up from a paper I had in my hand, and being about ten feet from the side-walk, I saw Capt. White and Mr. W. B. Johnston in front of us, walking up the street from the direction of the Cen tral Railroad Bank, and going toward Mr. Boardman’s corner. Capt. White was on the outside of the side-walk nearest to us, and the two were just in front of Mr. N. and myself.— I accosted Capt. White, and he replied, as nearly as I can recollect, in the fol lowing words : “Captain, I have just heard there is to be a meeting of oar Board on Thursday. X am anxious to go with Mr. Hazlehurst and party to Bruns wick on Wednesday, and suppose there is nothing of importance to be done.” He slacked his gait, but did not stop, nor re ply at once. When he did reply, he had passed us several feet; so far, that he only turned his head, and I only saw his side face, as he looked aronnd and said, “I don’t know, there may be.” This is my best recollection of bis manner and what he said. As we turned to go to Mr. Nisbet’s office about our business, before I said a word, Mr. Nisbet express ed his surprise at Capt. White’s manner and evasion of my question, and asked me if it was possible' I did not know what the object of the meeting on Thurs day was. I replied I had heard some ru mors and suspected what it was, but did not know, and was anxious to find out from the proper quarter. I asked two of the other directors to go to Brunswick, and they each said they would like to go but must stay to this meeting of Thursday. The last one asked declining to give me any informa tion as to the object of the meeting, be cause he said he had promised Capt White not to do so ; but he added that Capt White said he would notify me and talk with me about the object I determined not to go to Brunswick. I knew Captain White had some impor tant move on foot, for I heard he had been for some time getting all the prox ies he could. I suspected from what heard it was to lease or sell the Macon and Western Railroad, but it never once occurred to me that he dreamed of doing what he now claims he did-do on the same Thursday, the 25th of May, without pub lic or proper notice to several of the di rectors, and many of the stockholders, and who, it must have been known, were opposed to what he claims to have done, namely: in a space of less than five hours —I believe in less than four—submit to his board, a lease equal to a sale, of prop erty worth from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000, discuss, amend, chunge, sign, seal and deliver the same. Yes, more than this; during the same day turn over the whole, without schedule, inventory or appraise ment, to a company out of whose clutches he has for years, until within the last few months, been trying to keep. I say all this never once entered my imagina tion. I remained here in Macon, expecting certainly Capt. White would notify me of the meeting, and talk with me about it, not for a moment supposing that he would claim what passed between us in the street, as doing this. I waited and waited, but I did not see or hear from Capt. White again until the day of the meeting—Thursday. I was in town, but I did not see him, even at a distance. On the morning of Thursday the 25th, I rode down to my office earlier than usual, so that I would be in my place should Captain White call, or I be sent for. The time for the Board to convene is ten o’clock. I waited until eleven, or within a few minutes of eleven by the Town Clock, but I received no notice, nor heard from Captain White. Not knowing what to do, not liking to forc«- myself upon a party of gentlemen, and still disliking to neglect a duty, I sent Captain White a note, in substance as follows—1 kept no copy: “I understand there is a meeting of our Board to-day, and that the other directors have been requested to attend, while I have not exceedingly that you. have not thought that you were notified of our meeting to day, for I informed you of the fact, and my recollection is, I wanted you to re main and come. I send my buggy for yon. Please come down as soon as you- can. Very truly, A. J. White, Pres’t. Capt. White says in his Card that he did not wish to treat me with discourte sy; that it is but a small matter; one who has been buffeted about the world for fifty-three years, cares but little for such things; but there is more than this in volved—much more. I was living in Macon, was not only one of the Direc tors, but the regular legal counsel of the road at this place; I was also a Director in the Brunswick Road, necessarily a rival of the Central for the business of the Macon and Western Road. I should have been notified and advised as were the other Directors in Macon, if it could have been done. It could have been done, for I was here on the. spot and could have been seen any day after May 13th, nearly two weeks before the day of the lease. Other Directors in Savannah, Charleston and New York were seen and consulted, showing I could have been with but little trouble, even by a written note through the postoffice, and the By laws of the company require a written notice for the regular meeting, much more for a called meeting like this, and one intended really to end the existence of the company, as such, distinctively. I could not say less than I have dohe; I might have said much more, but I de sist, following the example of Captain White, and bracing myself with the fol lowing from Mr. Nesbit: CoL L. N. Whittle: Your statement of the interview between yourself and Capt. White, so far as what passed when I was present, is substantially correct. Your accosting him and his manner and reply impressed me as though your meeting was accidental, and that Capt. White did not avail himself of the opportunity it gave him to explain the objects of the meeting of the directors of the Macon and Western Railroad Company, about which you asked him. Knowing myself of the wrong contemplated to be done to Macon, to the people of Georgia, and the stockholders of the Macon and West ern Railroad Company by the lease of the letter, I gave marked attention to what passed between you and Capt. White, and mast say he did not come up to a candid and frank intimation even of so grave a subject, when, pointedly asked by you if important business, and if so, what, was to be acted on at the approach ing meeting of directors.

Co, Macon; Ga., June 15, 1871 ! 1 Editors Telegreph and Messenger: To Colonel Whittle’s card, which appear ed in your issue of this day, in which lie says: “It maybe remarked that in my note, which appeared in your issue of the 11th, I said, ‘I was not notified of the proposed meeting of the Board, as the other Directors were;’ the plain and ob vious meaning of which certainly is, that I was not informed of the proposed meet ing by the President, of his own motion, and with an explanation of the object of that meeting, as was the case with the other Directors. In his card he says I approached him on the subject, not he ipe; he does not say, and he could not say, that he informed me of the object of the meeting, as he had none the other Directors. So much for my note and President’s White’s card.” I reply that in my previous card I gave simply a statement of the facts, as they existed, in reference to giving the notice to Col. Whittle of the proposed meeting of the Board, and never pretended that I had given bim notice as I had the oth er Directors; and I fully and faithfully explained to him, at the meeting of the Board of Directors on the 25th nit., (when all the directors whom he referred to in his communication were present, I why it was not done, and a positive dis claimer from me to him of not intending to neglect or overlook him; but that from the pressure of my business and his ab sence for a part of the time (and my own, perhaps, when he was at home), prevent ed me from doing what I desired and in tended to do np to the day of the meet ing referred to; and it is evident from the action of tlie Board of Directors on that day, that no intentional disrespect was shown Col. Whittle. His allusions to me as connected with the signing of the lease are not as clear as I would like. He seems to say that I submitted to the Board of Directors proposition for a lease (equivalent to sale of property worth $2,500,000 to $ 000,000 to discuss, amend, change, sign, seal aud deliver the same—and do more, turn over the road. Now, I think the Colonel’s zeal is leading him into error; and he will remember the'resolution or dering the lease was passed by the Board of Directors—was written by himself (as a matter of favor, I admit) for another member of the Board, and it was not mg act but the act of the Board of Directors. And I am sure Col. Whittle will remem ber that he expressed the belief that he would (as matters were working or stood) be forced to lease the road, and that he would go for this lease if he could not do better. This much I have thought it proper to say in reply to Col. Whittle’s card in your paper of this morning. To the stockholders of the Macon & Western Railroad Company, I desire fo say that I have ever had steadily in my mind the interests of this company. •For more than two years a steady and constant effort has been made to con nect this road with the Macon & Bruns wick Railroad Company, and that so far as I have had any evidence of CoL Whittle’s wishes in this connection, he lias been a constant advocate of this policy.

Guy Abgyle. TELEGRAPH NEWS Bjeclal Bispatches to tie Si, Editor Sun: A convention of the stock holders of the Rabun Gap, or North- Eastern Railroad, assembled here to-day at 12 M. Considerable enthusiasm pre vailed. Proxies and delegates represent ing the various interests of North-east Georgia were present in large numbers. The meeting was called to order by Mr; John H. Newton. Hon. Madison Bell and John Crawford were elected secre taries. The chairman read the report of the executive committee, who, from the amount of stock subscribed and the pub lic spirit manifested in the enterprise, felt justified in advising a convention of the stockholders present to enter into a permanent organization. After calling the roll of the stockhold ers, it was ascertained that 1670 shares were represented, 1075 by proxy and 595 in person. During the investigation of the committee on proxies, Mr. R. L. Bloomfield,Superintendent of the Athens Manufacturing Company, addressed the meeting. His enthusiasm in behalf of the enterprise knew no bounds, and was equalled only by his statistical argu ments for the same. He stated that this projected road would afford to Athens and Augusta a direct .route to the com mercial emporium of the West, whither the spirit of manufacture had already taken its flight; that the reduction of freights in everything pertainingto com merce aud manufacture would be reduced 25 per cent. He commended the zeal and public spirit of Atlanta, stating that her enormous facilities of transportation had induced almost every manufacturing company of the West to establish a branch honsc in that city. CoL W. L. Mitchell, who followed, said that Mr. Bloomfield had demonstra ted the importance of the enterprise. It only remained then to build the road, and in order to do so capital was needed. The question was, “have we the means?” $300,000 had been guaranteed by private subscription. Moreover it was an Au gusta enterprise, and he was satisfied they might rely on that city for $100,000 more. The Georgia Railroad Company would not allow a company so materially affecting her interests, to monopolize such an enterprise. They might expect at least $200,000 from it. Only $1,200,' 000 was needful to construct and equip the road. The sum of $500,000 had beeen secured. With such assurance, and still brighter prospects they were justified in commencing work. Dr. Moore, said the road was one of in terest to he whole State, and should be zealously prosecuted. The House then moved to the election of officers and a permanent organiza tion. In the absence of the Committee on nominations, CoL McMillan, of Hab ersham county, addressed the meeting. He represented the people of his county who had subscribed 320 shares, but they were trammelled by restrictions and conditions, that he did not feel justified in voting. He stated that the citizens of his connty were enthusiastic for the road until very recently, when it became positively known that the Air-Line would be com pleted, when they said one railroad was enough. . . . The Convention then proceeded.tq tla election of officers for the. railroad! TIi names of Ferdinand. Phinizy and R. S. Bloomfield were canvassed, but finally Maj. Campbell Wallace was unanimously elected President. The Board of Direc tors were invested with all the power conferred by the charter, were authorized to fill all vacancies, elect a Chairman who should act as President until the Presi dent elect should enter upon the exercise of his duties, and were instructed to draw np By-Laws.

They were flying from their homes, being driven off by the Ku-Klux. It was reported that on Sunday night fifty disguised Ku-Klux entered Rutherford and brutally beat, a negro, a justice of the peace and a mem ber of the Legislature. The band also completely gutted the Star office. Lo gan, Beckerstaff and others narrowly es caped with their-lives. Cabinet meeting unimportant. Browburg, Postmaster at Mobile, who was lately discharged, refuses to turn over the office* to his successor, Putnam. The Postmaster-General has telegraphed him peremptorily, to surrender the office. The testimony of Governor Stanly of Alabama, before the Ku-Klux Com mittee to-day, completely riddled the Radicals, and showed that most of con flicts paraded before the Committee were not political, but grew out of personal rivalries and contests. Marked impres sion was produced by his account of the disappearance of five negroes alleged to have been killed by the Ku-Klux. Gov. Lindsay was the counsel of these men. They had been members of a ne gro conspiracy to bum the town of Tus caloosa, but had compromised by burn ing the female seminary building there, and had confessed their crime to Gov. Lindsay. They were only convicted, and while in jail had been released by their Radical friends and escaped from the State. Gov. Lindsay described Alabama election law, which punishes any person for challenging a vote, but yet inflicts no punishment for the ill. In regard to the whipping of Dorman for preaching the Gospel, it appeared that he had, on being ordered off by the owner of the plantations for incendiary language, drawn a knife, and had been knocked down for it. For this act of self-defence this gentleman and many neighbors were arrested as Ku-Klux. Dorman, pretending to be a preacher, had committed rape on his own cousin in Georgia, and was a fugitive from jus tice. Gov.
