He declares that the sole object of the measure is—not to give Atlanta any undue advantage at all; but simply to put her on an equal footing with rival cities, and not to be dis criminated against, to her disadvan- Ztw He alleges that all the roads cen tering at this point, except the State Road, is controled bg rival cities, and that we are discriminated against in the price of freights, to their undue advantage, which has always crippled Atlanta, and will forever do so, re pressing our prosperity and clogging our efforts j and that the Georgia Western is the last chance for ns to gel a fair showing and he put on an equal footing., 1,-p V For these considerations, “An Old Merchant” urges the adoption of some such measure as that proposed. Tlie Census of 1870. Forney’s Press lias the following comparison of the present; census with that ol' I860: tot The increase of the aggregate pop 'd ulation of all the States and Territo- • ’ ries during the ten years is 6,902,429, and the -rate of increase is above twenty-one and nine-tenths per cent. The increase of the whole white pop- T ulation is 6,591,793, and the rate of -« increase is 24.4 per cent. <r ; ;d* f yn The increase of the white popula- •u iion in the Northern or originally Free States is 5,137,848, and the rate • * of increase is 27.4 percent. i** The increase of the white popula tion in the Southern States is 1,335,- 201, and the rate of increase is 16.6 per cent. d The aggregate increase of the black population in the United States is £<138,385, and the rate of increase is — 7.6 percent. uc ***&&!• . a The increase of the;black popula- • -tion in the Nmtivern biau-o is 188,953, and the increase is 4.6 per cent. The increase of the black popula tion in the Northern States is 119,- 192. and the rate of increase is 52.; wytPMBfcia* iUi« 1 1 - The increase of the whole popula tion in the Territories, including the District of Columbia, is 184,682, and the rate of increase is 74.9 p«r cent. jThis statement refers to the TemtoJ ' ; pel which remained in that condition . .in .4^70, NebraikaamJJNevada, which were Territories in' I860, had in the meantime become States, and are therefore ranked as such in the table and in these comparisons, oa *iH \ The increase of the white popula tion in the Territories is 154,315, and • .'the rate.of increase is 66.5 per cent The increase of the black popula tion in the Territories is 30,367, and the rate of increase is 208.9 percent. An inspection of the tables will show that the considerable increase of the white population of the South ern States has taken place chiefly in those on the Northern border of that section ; that is to say,rin Delaware, . Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, and that a diminution of, the number of blacks that have taken place in those bolder States, except in Mary land, where the increase is slight. The greatest increase in the num ber of blacks in the South has taken place in Noith Carolina, Tennessee . Arkansas, Texas^Florida and Alaba ma. In the two Virginias, compared with the old State, there is exhibited a loss of 18,000 blacks. In Georgia also, there is a falling off of blacks! and a considerable increase of whites. Other comparisons will suggest them selves to tn£~ intelligent reader who has a copy of the census of 1860 at ^hand. -Saeuunuh Sees. 11. 1871. Ihe above is from tlie Louisville (Ky.) Courier-Journal, of the 21st ult. That paper has departed from the faith with the new departures, and has joined the ranks of the so- called progressionists. We belong to the old fogy party, and believe in liv ing in the past We wish to go back with Mr. {Stephens to the good old days. We wish to recover lost liber ty and lost rights. The fundamental principles of liberty and good gov ernnient are as old as the human race, and yet this new party would have us forget them because they are old. Be cause Mr. Stephens, with hisgigantic intellect, is an old man, he must not be listened to. Because he lives in a Georgia village, he mnst not be heard. Because he speaks of the past, and goes back to first principles and tries to check his countrymen in their wild and headlong rush to ruin, it is said that he carries us backward and not forward. Well, personal liberty and the.nat ural rights of man are old things. Rivers of blood have flowed in the past for their purchase and mainten ance, and will probably flow again, and the stream will never dry up till the end of of time. It is the old contest between liberty and good government on the one side, ami des potism on the other. ' ., ' ** It is time for all men to pause and look back a little. It is especially time for all who profess and call themselves Democrats, to pause and look hack, and see how tar they have departed from first principles, and see how rapidly they are drifting towards absolute despotism. We opine that the time will yet come, and that be fore very long, when Mr. Stephens' utterances will sound still more- dreary in the ears of all who oppose right and justice.— Washington (Ga.) Gazette. From the Butler County (Ohio) Democrat, July 6. ’71 Hon. Alex. H. Stephens. j w t if delegated, except in a limited sense!” Why, hat is sovereignty, hut the totality of pavers vested in States or individ- uals ? The Commercial perhaps does not know that there is a difference between the sovereignty of the States and the rights of the States ? Sover- eignty is the inherent and inalienable attribute of the people constituting a State—the government-making, and the source of all power in govern ments. The rights of a State consists in the political power that its sover eign people have agreed it should ex ercise in the State government over them. Sovereignty, therefore, can not lie divided, as it is inseperable from individuals, or communities of The States did not delegate sover- cigniu at all to the “nation,” but merely a portion of the political rights which their peoples conferred upon them as States. And these they did not surrender, but merely delega ted, deputed, entrusted to the Feder al Government, through and by the terms of the Constitution, to he used for the States united. This is all there is of it. We advise the Commercial to study Constitutional law, and our American system of government, be fore it again ventures out of its shell, to sail upon unknown waters, or it will eternally flounder in the mud, thors all claims upon our .respect.” Has Mr. Stephens or any one else ever uttered a more unqualified de nunciation of those measures and the manner of their incorporation with the Constitution ? They both agree in this. They both agree, too, that the amendments “have actually be come a part of the Constitution:''and they likewise agree that they are fd be obeyed and respected so long 1 as they are there. Mr. Stephens, on this point, says: “We advise and counsel no forcible resistance to any of these usurpations. We advise obedience to them so long as -they have the forms of law., as judicially expoun ded," &o. From this we are inevita bly led to the conclusion that they al- r I so agree on the mode of getting rid of these amendments, viz: as stated by the Pennsylvania Committee, “in the prescribed way, and not by revo lutionary or disorderly means. This remarkable concurrence ap pears to us to sweep away all ground of real difference and controversy.—- The Pennsylvania Democracy' con demn the usurpations as much as Mr. Stephens does, and they counsel obedience to them while they exist, as a matter of necessity, jus; as he does. They nowhere declare that they are fixed upon tlie country finally and forever as necessary results of the war. but hold them as they do the rest of the Constitution—subject to repeal “iu the prescribed way.” Nor are they ignored as questions no longer interest, for this very address From the Savannah Republican, July 7th. Mr. Stephens and Party Issues. We published yesterday an edito rial from The Atlanta Sun,in which of brings them forward, and declares them the result of “brute force” and “frauds upon the public will.” And so do the resolutions of the Pennsyl vania Convention. Then, if Mr. Stephens and the Mr. Stephens, writing over his in- D x lel V • ,5 Stephens au d the itials, gives in full his views of the £® uns y ] Ivama Democracy both hold issues upon which the next Presiden- 7 6 Same 0 P mi0n °? ^ ie amendments, We are higldy gratified at seeing it an nounced that Hon. Alex.H. Stephens Atlanta Sun. No man in the “Na- has taken the editorial charge of The ” has better abilities, being a pro- tion : found legal scholar, a pure statesman, and well read upon every subject which can possibly engage the human understanding. The Cincinnati Com mercial, in referring to Mr. Stephens assuming the editorial charge of the Sun, says: “The position of the Sun will be that the Government of the United States is a ‘Confederated’ or ‘Federal Re public,’ formed by the States, possessing in itself. no inherent sovereignty, but that all its powers—which are specific and limited—are held by delegation from the several States, and that the States are absolutely sovereign in the exercise of all reserved or undelegated powers. The Commercial continues : | “ This formula is tolerably familiar to the American people •, Mr. Stephens will not succeed in making them under stand that they are not a nation, with an autonomy for which they are not indebt ed to the States, and which is derived from the people themselves. As between the National Government and the States themselves, they will be quite willing to concede that such powers as the have not surrendered still belong to them ; sovereignty, except in a very limited sense, being one of the powers which was delegated.” Mr. Stephens may not be able to ! make the people believe that they are not a “nation.” That would be a dif ficult task indeed, surrounded as they are with imperial power, subjected to robbery, oppression and wrong, over shadowed by the Force and Ku-Klux bills, the power to suspend the liberty protecting writ of habeas corpus in the hands of an unscrupulous Presi dent, and bayonets in the hands of his minions to enforce his arbitrarv will. We say, with all this evidence before their eyes, it would be impossi ble to “succeed in making the people understand that the Federal Republic public has hot been changed into a “nation”—a horrid despotism. “With an autonomy for which they are not indebted to the States, and which is derived from the consent of the people themselves," is simple non sense. It is true the “autonomy” or right of self-government belongs to every individual, independent of the States. But what are States except political communities of self-govern ing peoples? And are not°States self-governing, sovereign bodies bv virtue of the fact that they (the States) are composed of self-govern ing individuals ? _ d \\ hat power or right was ever given to the “nation” that was not derived from the States, either voluntary or. by force.- How could the people, as We den . ounce them with the same just the indignation, agree to obey them while they have the form of law, tial campaign should be fought, doubt it there is a sentiment in article- to which any Southern man I Lllt f} wniie nave the form ofla would refuse his sanctiou. We all to the constitutionally “pre- * ” * - 1 scribed way” to get rid Of them, we cannot see why there should be war hold exactly the same opinion of the constitutional amendments aud the reconstruction laws that Mr. Stephens does.

Mr. Stephens, in speaking of these amendments, makes the Pennsyl oorat at. the' North entertains exactly I V ? nii t .Convention say they, were tllf> ornno nnininn adopted the. same opinion of those revolution ary and violent measures. Where, then, does the difference exist ? Let us examine into this question a little, for it is evident a popular impression prevails, and prevails witlr Mr. Ste phens, that there is some radical, vital difference of opinion and principle between himself and his followers, on the one side, and the Democracy of f do P ted - the North on the other. .. }y P & na ii? e .

Wb arc free to say, how- t _ ‘in the manner and by the authority constitutionally appointed.” We think he is mistaken in this.— We have not the platform at our command, and have searched in vain for it in our exchanges, bet we have no recollection of such language as belonging to it, and think it will not be found in the resolutions as finally „a We cannot see how Such _ „ can be made to consist with the universally declared sentiments of the Northern Democracy, in Penn sylvania and elsewhere, regarding the j of bank notes authorized at the "close ; of last session will not all be issued. Up 't6 the present tifne the applica tions for new hanks will barely reach twenty millions of dollars. And even if the whole should be issued, the equilibrium of the currency will be kept steady by the retirement and cancellation Of"an equivalent amount of three per cent certificates. The aggregate of our paper money circu lation is too large, and the excessive issues cause the existing depreciation. But it is also true that from the ex- tension of railroads, telegraphs and other business facilities, the country requires' annually a larger aud larger amount of money to carry on its busi ness. Thus we are growing up to specie payments, and the progress of the country, North, South and West, on the Atlantic and Pacific slopes and in the Mississippi Valley, is esti mated to have so enlarged the area- for the use of currency as to be equiv alent to a reduction of at least 25 per cent, in the premium during the last five years. The true method to re duce the gold premium undoubtedly is tp. enlarge the field for the use of currency by expanding the trade of the country and developing its indus trial activity. From the Baltimore Sun of the 10th, ANOTHER RAILWAY MASSA- CRE. tioned, lay the body of the fireman belonging to the train trom this city. His brains had been dashed out, and* death must have been instantansous. His name has not been ascertained! Search was then made for ;he body of George Hill, the engineer of the train from this city, but fer some time the search was fruitless, and it was hoped that he had escaped. At length, however, his body was discovered buried beneath a mass of jron and wood, from which it could not be extracted. The head and limbs had been crashed into a shape less mass by the force of the collis- sion, aud had been afterwards partly consumed by fire, kindled by the coals from the engine. After a few- futile efforts to rescue the body from its horrible position, the passengers, with the surviving servants of the company, turned their attention to saving the property from the burnino- cars. ” ° A great number of the passengers received painful bruises, many of them haying been thrown violently from their seats to the ground; but as they scattered soon afterwards it is next to impossible to obtain ther names. A FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCE. It appears that the train from this city was almost entirely empty, while the train from Newark was as usual, crowded with business men on their way to this city. Had both' trains been laden with passengers the loss of life must have been fearful, as the two first cars of the empty train tele scoped, and any person in either of them at the time must have been killed or terribly injured. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? Great indignation was expressed on all sides at the culpable negligence displayed in leaving the switch open, but the officials were unable to say to whom the blame properly belonged. The suggestion that the switch may • » , , ., , , i have been purposely misplaced bv -\t A ™ accident occurred on the some miscreant was not credited.

It is said to have been written by Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, one of the ablest statesmen and appointed, ever, that, used by whomsoever it may be, the Pennsylvania Democracy or anybody else, every honest man at the South will unite with Mr. Ste phens in denouncing the lauj* na«#as utterly false. ° " The Gold Premium, The New York Financial Chroni cle regards the advance in the gold premium as temporary.

Any change which evjjerience nl. r . ..-W and reason shall prove to be desirable must not go abroad to buy gold, but be me vie m.ihe prescribed way, and noth y " f ~ revolutionary or disorderly .means.” So much for the address. Mr. _ tepliens presents his views on the ante identical question in the edito- be imported into Englaud from this country. But there is no doubt that this policy, which is attributed to the Bank of England, would have an in fluence of counteraction. Says the Chronicle: For a quarter of a century the set tled practice has been that the bank shall not go abroad to buy gold, but refrain from all interference in that way with the regular movements of commerce, which cause gold to flow mto or to flow out of the coffers 'of the bank. WRen the gold balance M -PP* train from New York met at full speed,' both en gines being destroyed, and the smoke stack of one was thrown fully fifty yards into a ditch. The New York train ran off the up on to the down track, and cut right into its vis-a-vis and jumping from the track, bound ed down an embankment into a ditch, dragging with it the three foremost cars. The cars of the other train were completely telescoped. The furnace of the up engiife set fire to the wrecked carriages in the ditch, and they were enveloped in a mass of flame and smoke. The shrieks of the passengers were awful. Assistance was near at hand, however, and with the aid of some men who were work ing in the neighborhood, many were extricated from their terrible posi tion. Three new cars on the train from New York were entirely burned.— The train from Newark contained four cars, all full, which were teles coped, injuring several passengers, but none fatally. Four of the em ployees were killed outright, viz:— Frank: Keenan, and George Hill, en gineers of both engines; Daniel White, brakeman, and John Roeha- tellow, fireman. A roundhouseman, Samuel Taylor, was seriously injured, and Wm. Hoofman, brakeman, seri ously, but it is hoped, not fatally in jured. The passengers most injured were David Andorsun, Stephen Dick erson, C. W. Juhnkle and Minnie Garrity, an immigrant, but none fa tally hurt. Several, others had nar row, escapes and slight bruises. •WHAT A PASSENGER SAYS. A gentleman from New Y ork, who was on the train going from that city, at the time of the disaster, says he was in tho rear ear at the time of the disaster, and the first intimation he had of the accident was a terrible fihock, He was thrown over the seat in front of him and somewhat day, the newspaper offices having been besieged with inquirers after friends on tlie train. It is the gen eral fueling that an investigation of the strictest kiud should be made. Bret Harte’s Fiasco at Cam bridge. Free the Boston correspondence of the New York Times. Bret Harte’s experience at Cambridge betore Fhi Beta Kappa, is still tlie occas ion of much talk about town. He has been roundly censured and severely criti cised in various quarters. But he has a sid® to the story, a strong one, and one which ought to be told. His friends as sert that he was outrageonslv misled by tne committee of the society. He was informed of his election as a poet some time ago, and strenuously urged to ac cept, the point being dwelt upon that he, would have until midsum mer to write it, and the statement made that Commencement was late in July, the writer of the note for getting, though a Cambridge man, th&t the commencement time had been changed from July to June. Bret Harte accepted, but reluctantly, and after his acceptance all communication with the committee ceased ; no effort was made to correct the misapprehension regarding the date of commencement, and notbiug w s told him concerning the arrange ments for the day. A week or so before Commencement he began his poem having the impression that he had a month before him. Happening in Bos ton at this time, he accidentally learned when Commencement actually was, and, as cun be imagined, was consequently immediately in an unenviable state of mrnd. He hurried back to Newport and tried, in the few days intervening, to finish liis poem, but found it impossible. So when the day came, the Thurs day after Commencement, he se- lected what he considered the best of his unpublished poems and started for Cambridge. Not being well acquainted about here, on arriving in Boston he call ed at a friend’s and asked with much con cern how he was to get to the college, and what he was to do when he got there The friend took him out in L,,,.,- j T,. . - - . —7 they reached the square just as the nfo-’ ©raised.
