Comparative Advantages of Savannah
and Nt-w Orleans for the Cotton of
Southwemern Georgia.
[From the Cambridge Argus.]
Savannah, Ua., Oct. 20th, 1866.
Willis M. Russell, Esq ,
Editor Bainbridge Argus.
Dear Sir : The citizens ot Savannah cannot but
appreciate the lively interest that your journal has
always manifested in behalf of her commercial
claims; an evidence it is of the kindly feelings
of your section of the Slate toward Georgia’s principal
port. They have for a long season anxiously contem
plated the prospects of an iutimute connection
through the agency of the Gull Railroad, and hope
fully anticipate a speedy realization of their desire.
The unfortunate postponement of this result, arising
under the circumstances of llie late war, has been
occasioned by difficulties and obstacles of an almost
insurmountable character. But if earnest desire, se
conded by vigorous and enthusiastic energy, be capa
ble of any accomplishment, we may still look forward
reasonably to an early resumption of the work of
laying tho iron to your very doors. Such, in fact, is
the assurance of Col. Screven, in his recent letter on
this subject, in which he briefly alludes to the causes
of interruption, accompanied with declarations of
purposes to resume, at the eeriest practicable mo
ment, tbe work of extending the Gulf Road towards
its ultimate terminal point. Mobile.
The 1 ecen t vigorous protests of your section against
any further delay, originating too in part under some
misapprehension as to the circumstances under which
tlie work of rebuilding tbe Florida Branch was under
taken, we must regard but us manifestations
of uu earnest dlsire to be brought into active commu
nications with the larger channels of trade. In your
disappointment we feel a lively sympathy with you.
But this docs not meet tbe necessities of the present
year, you S'iy. And the question pertinent to your
immediate interest was the consideration of some ex-
pcdi«.-ut contributing to immediate relief.
Two such expedients have been found or offered to
the merchants and planters ot Southwest Georgia,
viz: that of direct shipment to New Orleans and that
to Savannah made more accessible by liberal discriin-
iuation. I propose to examine with 3*011 the respective
merits of these two expedients, with the view to estab
lish tho claims of the most eligible one.
Heretofore the natural outlet to the product* of
Southwestern Georgia, and tho principal medium of
supply lias been the Apalachicola river and its navi
gable tributaries—Apatachic.ila, as u mart, being the
point ol transhipment aud delivery. But the active
progressive era of iho “ iron horse’ 1 has made nature
as a common carrier secondary to art. And to keep
pace with the rapid and extended requirements of
trade, you demanded the facilities of railroad commu
nication. Isolated and w ith but a single outlet, tho
opportunities ol your trade were limited and circum
scribed. By the rail you would be brought iuto con
tact with other centres ol trade and thereby under
varied and eularged influences, with the additional
advantage over the did and single route of speed and
cheapness. These were, truly, considerations of suf
ficient importance to justify on your part an earnest
the work ol buRdmg a railroad to your
alue aud importance of such
line of communication has ever been fully con-
| ceded. You say, but it has not yet reached us, aud
us, and we need iinme-

"cre invited to seats on tbe
b
interests of receipts of tho old monopolies, it became
a matter of prompt policy with them to meet the im-
pcndmg diversions .with such concessions or improve
ments asVould enable them still to control the move
ments and operations of their old trade. These con
cessions have been held out to tlie merchants and
farmers in the proposition to transport their cotton to
New Orleans from landings upon the river, at the
rate of $4 50 per bale, with siniilur reductions upon
the rates of plantation supplies.
The difference then and now, is tnirfi Apalachicola
,,’aa the point of immediate shipment. Here the
planter was offt-red the opportunity of sale or ship
ment further to New Orleans or Mobile, heavier ex
penses arising with extended conveyance. Little of
it I venture to say ever went b>* tho planter’s direc
tion beyond Apalachicola, he being content to realize
the proceeds of sale at that point, in preference to the
risks aud increased charges of a further shipment.
Now it is proposed to deprive the planter of this
privilege of selecting his market, by tho means of this
direct shipment. .. .
Will the aiffeienco in price there, supposdto be
realized by the planter on sa!e of produce in New Or
leans, compensate him for the change ? We say no.
Where then the advantage ? In this pOBsibly. That
supplies for plantation use may be purchased more
cheaply in New Orleans than in Apalachicola. I say
possibly! Tor I have not fully examined this branch
of the subject, but propose doiug so in subsequent
communication. But there is another route aud
another market held out to the consideration and
selection of your section through the agency of fa
vorable discriminations ii» the rates of raiload

The Times’ correspondent gives : th^/pllqfjng i$*
teresting particulars of the great famine in ludia:
A Calcutta paper of August 10(h gays.that 20,000
paupers from the famine-stricken region have inun
dated Calcutta, aud the arrivals arc reckoned at 200 a
day. We have, on the highest authority, a frightful
picture of the prevailing destitution, especially in Cal
cutta. li would be difficult to exaggerate the magni
tude and extent of the calamit3’. All the accounts 1
have seen have underrated it.
It ia difficult to obtain reliable statistics as to tlie
mortality*from famine, and cholera occasioned by it;
but all that 1 have seen aud heard has convinced me
that it has been on a scale of frightful magnitude.
There are still four long dark months before us;
though for a mouth past there has seemed .some slight
abatement in the distress in tlie lour districts of But-
ozoir, Mednapore. Sarurn and Tirahout. Over 40.0U0
non-laboring paupers were being daily relieved in tlie
latter part of July; besides 7,009 who wore able.to
make some return for food by working.^ ; :
A week later we find 34,000 daily relieved in Batazorc
and Midnapore alone; while Pcoro and Nudda add
17,000 more to the sad list.
H is believed that in Cuttack the majority of the
people must die before relief can reach; while
1,000 persons a day were peritdiiug at the single sta
tion of Batazore. A vessel, the Tubal Caiu, which
was bringing them food, was driven off by a slor.n,
and compelled to throw overboard 1,500 bags of rice.
But this is not all, and possibly not tbe worst. The
new crop of rice will soon be obtained, but it is likely
to add s new source of damage. For, lacking other
food, the poor people will devour it in its uumatured
and unwholesome state, and a dreadful pestilence will
probably thus bo produced.
Until the land can be covered with a network of
railroads aud canals there seems no escape from the
frequent repetition of such calamities, and that day is
not far distant.
Another account says: When the Ibniiffe was at its
height the starving poor, we are tol3,crowded into the
streets of Calcutta; and it was estimated that no fewer
than 20,000 to 25,000 starving people were wandering
about the capital.
At Mullick Ghat, where tbe Bombay merchants
raised a fund and distributed food, there were at one
time 7,000 famishing applicants crowded up. They
were described as placed in order upon an open space
waiting for the distribution. On one sido nearly 4,-
000 Hindoos, each with a leaf platter before hip, were
scattered on the wet ground, hastily partaking of 4b'e
scant dole they received. On the ◦th^f ^u|de wete
thousands ef famishing Mussulinen, ranged in like
manner, and watching with silent and greedy eager?
ness the meal of their Hindoo brethren, and counting
with bitter longiugs the minutes till their time should
come. ‘ ;
Under the shelter of the Ghat crowded women, aud
girls and children,and outside the|gates were hundreds
and hundreds who had lost their cliance till the next
distribution. Over all a horrible dead sileucehreigm-d.
There was no chattenug or conversation; haiMly a
sound, excepting when at intervals some Wreuli
threw up his arms with an ejaculation to heaven,
wrung from him by the unappeasable pangs of hun
ger.
More than this, officials wrote home description.^ of
meeting dead bodies in every morning’s ride, bodies
lying in the road, with the village ddgs eating them at
leisure.
A Calcutta journal stated that in Batacors, having^
population ol 12,060, the death* amounted to ttU^T
day, aud on tlie government demhaditi^nf its offleul
a report against the libel, the collector of the district
replied that on the 8th of August he had 243 deaths in
the city, and on the 9th, 151, aud for the week ending
the 9Ui, 126 a day, tlie budics sometime* remaining
unbuned for three days.
'Hie province of Orisa suffered the most severely,
one paper declaring that 400/ 00 souls have perished
ia maratime Orisa alone. Indeed, a telegram from
ludia announces that halt the population 9i Orisa
have perished in the famine; that is,fully two millions
aud a half of people.

money duly paid; yet, up to ttiis hour, there has nut
been even un attempt made by the Government to pro

been popularly, ii not official^’, accused ol complicity
in the virtual murder ot Union soldiers, while prison

Relying then upon the correctness of netlmetr
cute; tbe machinery of the C^q-ts is k sI\rays.oUt;ot Or-/
der. At one time, martial law stands in the way;
when that obstacle is removed, there is a cavil os to
the sufficiency or completeness of its withdrawal;
and, when l|iai will no longer serve, it is found that
Congress h^s somehow disarranged the judiem! dis
tricts, so that the case cannot safely he proceeded
with. And Congress itself, having-most inconsider
ately meddlfed With the matter, never took pains to
inquire whajt action ou its part,<f auy fc was requisite;
so that now Congress, PresidtAi^ ahd Chief Justice hfe
in a comple muddle ou the'subject;* efleh scfciritiig'tn*
cliued to throw all responsibility^ lor the delay ou one
or both of the others.
The ux>shot of ail this is that the prisoner U not
tried, nor likely to be: aud that, if tned, he is mor
ally certain iiot to be convicted; if convicted, not to
be punished. There are slIH many pjraonq who would
like to h&vejhim executed; but tht-re is not one intel
ligent man oil eo^th who has the faintest notion that
lie ever will be. Ft>r, though Gov^i$tdfenU sola

never, at least in modern times, do so long after their
rebellion was suppressed. Austria, in 1849, put to
death thirteen of the Hungarian leaders betrayed
into her hands by the miscreant Gorgcy; but she tried
them by dnim-head court-martial directly alter their
surrender, And had them all hanged und buried wituiu
forty-eight hours. Had she waited eighteen months
and then executed them, she would have invoked the
execrations of all Christendom.
Since it is notorious that Davis is not to be pun
ished, why is be still kept awaiting a trial which he
alone seems to desire, aud which he can by no means
obtain ? What good end is subserved by persisting
In a menace which still serves to irritate, though it
no longer appals ?
Congress, at its last session, evidently felt that it
bad the President at disadvantage with regard to this
prisoner—that he was an elephant which Mr. John
son had too easily acquired, and was now unable
either to keep or dispose of save to bis own los*. Iu
the state of feeling then prevalent, this aspect ot the
case was regarded by many with evident complacency.
Had tbe President been a maif of high courage, we
think he would have bailed the prisoner and called on
Congress to demand, if that were deemed
advisable, that he should be surrendered
and tried, and ta prescribe tlie legal condition
of such trial, since the laws as they stand
seem inadequate or defective. But he should firsr, at
all events, have pnblicly retraeteJ the charge of com
