With out taking any part in the controversy, ^for we confess that our limited knowledge in Railroad business, does not enable us to give our opinion,) we would not be auurised if onr neighbors of Marietta have made some egregious blunders. Tke charges against Mr. Wadley, are of such a grave and serious nature, that he will, undoubtedly, demand the proof to sustain them. As to the rates of freight for short distances, the least reflec tion will convince every one that they should be higher per mile for a short, than a long distance. For instance, the .loading and un loading of cors, the number of hands, the wear and tear of cars, the trouble of keeping the books at stations, fee way-bills, &&, are as great for short as long distances; as the only difference is the mere running the cars, after the steam is at the proper stand- which is a very small item in .fee expenses ■of Rai broods. r The State Road. [ We have received the report of Mr. Wad- ley, the General Superintendent,for the last fiscal year, ending 80th of September, 1862, and we ate pleased to find that-our antici- pations as to his successful management of this State work, have been ftilly realized. During the eight months Mr Wadley has had charge of the road, from fee 1st of .Februa ry to the 30th of September, the total amount of-tlie earnings amountito $278,229,38. The total amount of expenses for maintaining and working the road for the same period, have been $186,695,79—leaving a balance ns net profits for the eight months opera tions, of $141,533,59, which is an increase in the receipts of fee road, over the corres ponding months of the previous year, of $78,72G,17. The whole road is undergoing a thorough repair, and by the last of 1863, this noble work of state enterprise will com pare favorably with any road in the State. The debts which have been accumulating since its commeiioemeat. wiR he-liseharged; and with ordinary mapngemeut, it will un doubtedly be a source of revenue to the State, annually, of team $250,600 te $300,- 000; paying 6 or 7 per cent, upon the entire amount fee State has appended in its con struction. For the year 1854, and for each year thereafter, the revenue arising from the road will lessen taxes one-half, besides Furnishing an ample school fend, if wisely applied, to educate every poor child in the State.

To an outaider, Ml this appears love's labor lost,’ and conclusive evidence that the Southern Rights Democracy are ill at ease, both as it respects their ability to recover, power in fee State, in-the next can vass, and in the. prospects before tuat-party, to have a.prominent.place in the National Councils, assigned to it, by the-President of their . creation and choice.’ The above is an editorial from the Geor gia Citizen, containing more than one truth. The opposition of Southern Rights prints to Gen. Pierce's appointing a Union man to aqy office in his Cabinet, is-manifested in a asanaer to gain the contempt even of those who do not sympathize with either wing of the Democracy: They indeed are restito, as they were before the election of this fall; and how can they be otherwise—their prin ciples are diametrically opposed to anything but « restioeness if ..not their principles, their position is. .By a ceaseless and.loud clamor during fee-last campaign, they'de luded « -sufficient i number of the-voters of Georgia-to sceure their success. As to what feat delusion was, we have more than one time explained, ami ft is therefore needless feat we any .mare than this—fee- Southern KighteDcmocracy, because they met in Mil- ledgeville last March, und salted upon all Democrats to do the same, conceive that they are acting in concert with the National Democratic party; and arc consequently, entitled to become the advisers of Gen. Pierce, to the exclusion of the Union wing. Their title to this.position we of course con sider spurious; and -we are well convinced from our knowledge of his-character and of the influence by which he -was elected, that fee arbiter in this matter, will, in the se lection of his-Cabinet, to fee extreme morti fication of those who supported him from necessity, prove that they are entirely with out the,pale of the National Democracy— that their principles are the only principles which opposed the platform upon which Gen. Pierce so triumphantly rode into the office of the Chief Magistracy. But these are they who would heal the breach that has been made in the Demo cratic ranks—fee ptaee-makerk: We must confess, though, feat we cannot agree as to fee manner they would affect this. Surely, the example of the meeting at Atlanta ought.to convince them that their tactics should be changed. To effect a conciliation of divisions, we had always thought each .pasty met upon equal grounds—and we yet think so; and the Union Democracy, when ever their voice is heard, -will say-so. Now, if the Constitutionalist, Federal Union, Sfc. are sincere in their professed desire to heal this division, why not < blow’ the same all the while ?

This is the caption of an article found in the editorial columns of The Spartan, a paper published in South Carolina. Speak ing of the various names suggested for this office, he says—« No one will question the patriotism or ability of any or all of them. They are all good men and true—so is Mr. Khett.” As to the ability or patriotism of. many of the -living *ons of Carolina, we have no question Wc are ^willing to grant the ability to Mr. Rhett, bnt that is just as far as we may go, and do justice to our own feelings, and what wc conceive -fee senti ments of fee masses of our oeunt^f.

What was that eharac ter ? Ha was a stirrer up of strife and dis cord—an advocate of secession—and of con sequent ruin and confaaon. And yet, he is again recommended for an office he resign ed, because his course had proven odious in the qyes of his constituents^-it was not a voluntas; thing a fee the Spartan, fa this same article contends.

Cuba nad France—Report of a Secret Treaty. The correspondent of the Koeniscbe Zei- tung—(Cologne Gazette) writes from Ma drid, under dote of 0ctober-20tb: Mil can inform yon on the authority of an authentic source, that a secret treaty has been conclnded with France; according to which that power has pledged herself to pro tect Spain in the .possession of the -Isle of Cuba. AU commanders of French -vessels of war, at present on transatlantic stations, have received, orders- from tbeir. Government to, place themselves under the orders of the Captain General of Cuba. Three French vessels of war have been already, for some time, in Cuban ports, and to our squadron on thqt station, the St. Edward, of 86 guns, witlfeortiy be added. She is quiten-new vessel, and was only launched on tha Hfe inst.” •In connection with this, we quote the fol lowing-news brought from Cuba, by the Black Warrior: ..The English steam frigate Highflyer, and two sloops of war, were in the port of Havana; also several French vessels of war, but no American man-of-war.” The Governor General received on Sunday at his table, the senior commandants of the four English and French steamers in the port—mot only to express thc -kind feelings the Spanish sovereignty’ feels for their illus trious nations, but also to express the-cordi ality with which the Governor General ‘wel comes the-socicfcy of such accomplished offi cers.

Two Brothers in Congress.—E. B. Washburn,Esq., just elected to Congress in Illinois, is a brother to Israel Vtesbburn, recently elected in Maine. They are the sons of Israel Washburn, Esq., of Maine. This is .probably the first instance of two brothers meeting together in Congress, from two extremes of the Union, both -Whigs, and printers fcy trade, and-both highly esteemed for their talents and moral worth. «* These are my jewels,” truly-the father might ex claim. Hogs.—The Cincinnati Gazette of the 11th ult. says: Two houses arc now cutting hogs, and about 5,000 head have been packed to this date. The feeling exhibited in the ear ly part of the week was rather heavy, but yesterday the advices from New York and New Orleans, showing an advance in pork, imparted firmness to the market, and it would be difficult to purchase good corn fed fatted hogs for less than $2,25 per 100 lbs ■net One or two drovers have reached here from Kentucky, and we noticed a number A drovers on Change yesterday, indicating the near approach of-the active packing sea son.

The Lemon Indemnity Fund.—We leant from the -New York Journal of Com merce, of Friday, that -the -sum of $2,135 has already been subscribed in that city to indemnify Mr. Lemon, of Virginia, for the •less of his eight slaves, set at liberty by the decision <of Judge Paine. Among the con tributors arc Judge Paine, $100; Trow bridge, Dwight & Co. ? $100; R. Patrick & Co., $100; James Boorman, $100; Jacob Le Roy $100; Henrys, Smith k Townsend, 100; S.

The Lemon Fund.—On Friday evening fee Lemon indemnity fund in New York had increased to $4,230, leaving only $770 to be subscribed.

St Rep. Nicaragua and the Transit ’Compa ny.—The Government of Nicaragua con tends, and it is said, very justly, too, that the Nicaragua Transit Company has for feited its-charter, in consequence of not pay ing the does stipulated to be -paid to the Government, and in not making it such a route of transit as required by the charter. The Nicaragua Minister had entered his protest against the bad faith of the company and fee Government, it is said, is-fortilying the fort at the Castlo Virio, on fee San Ju an, with the view, if necessary of compell ing a compliance with the terms of the con tract with the company. The *U.-S.‘Consul at Acapulco.—Two United States consuls were lately acting at Acapulco at the same time, each of whom demanded consular fees for American vessels at that port. ■ It occurred in consequence of Mr. Rice, the late consul, on hearing be had been superceded by our government, asking the U.-8. -Minister in Mexico to grant him two months' leave of absence and to al low Mr. J. -Howland Bell to fill his place until the amval'of his-successor. Tke act ing Minister granted the ’leave of absence, but appointed Wm. Foster consular agent, instead of-Bell. On hearing this, Rice re fused to acept the leave of absence, and at the last accounts both Foster and Rice were acting as consul; and the Captain of the steamship Pacific, to avoid detention paid consular fees to each of them. Corruption in Washington. Mr. Benton, who has recently been elect ed to the House of Representatives from St Louis, after serving as a Unised States Sen ator of Missouri for a quarter of a century has made a speech in the West which con tains some important warnings.

A glance at the various sumption of partiality to either of tho am- published lists of freight rates, issued by j Bect * n S Roads. those in direction of the Road, will show that Marietta, and through her, the county of Cobb and many of the adjoining counties, have always been placed in disadvantage to other points on the Road much further re moved from its eastern terminus. This they have borne, however, without murmur, ra ther than disturb, for slight cause, the pros perity of the Road. As a great State enter prise, they might have been justified before this, in expecting that in its conduct, its burdens as well as its benefits, should be made to fall proportionally, equally as far os practicable, on all her citizens living on the line«f the-road. Tho late increase in the rate of freights, as promulgated by Mr. Wadley, has pat a limit to our forbearance. As citizens of Marietta, we would, for ourselves, and in behalf of our fellow-citizens of the counties adjoining, who look to Marietta as their nearest point of shipment, remonstrate and protest against this increase, and solemnly declare that wc will not and cannot submit to it. But while fre cannot but regard these rates if persisted in, as destructive of the best interests of our city, in whose prosperi ty a large section of Cherokee Georgih is di rectly interested, we arc not so selfish as to confine our views to these alone. But we would also protest , in the name of the State, against this increase, as suicidal to the best interests of the road. It is most flagrantly a short-sighted and mistaken policy. Al ready, to the most caiual observer, the down freights of the road have most perceptibly decreased.
