From the American Union. The Railroad P.oject. j The project of a R nil road from Griffin to Decatur, Alabama, is eliciting a good ideal of attention, and promises to result in something mure than mere talk. We it.si week published the proceedings of a meeting at Carrollton, at which books ut re opened and stock subscribed for to the amount of about §33,000. Delegates were idso appointed to attend a meeting at JVewnan on the lffh of May next, at w hich,, doubtless, books of subscription will btt opened and stock taken in the same emerpiise by the people of Cos we a county. Would it not lie well for the citizens of Griuh'i to call a meeting and adopt some preliminary measures of co-operation, as weP. as appoint delegates to the Newnan meeting? No one certainly can feet indifferent upon a suiject involving so deep an interest to our community. We ars satisfied that the people of {Spalding county will be no ways backward in their contributions to this enterprise, when the matter shall come fully and fairly before them; but we must be permitted to say, that it would better become them to take the initiative than to wail for othens, with fewer interests at slake, to set the ball in motion. We like deliberation; we are always more sanguine of the success of plans that are well discussed and mature ly considered before entered upon. But it seems to us there can bs but onfe opin ion as to the advantages of the proposed road trom Griffin to North Alabama. In the first place, it would unquestion ably become a source of profit to the s’.oekholdeis, opening up a channel of trade and travel which would .concen trate to it a business unsurpassed by any oilier road in the Stale. Next, it would j enhance the value of reai estate along itsj entie line, 50 per cent; by biinging a[ market, us it were, to the very door off the producer. The facility’ with which ■ the products of the farm couid be dispos- | eii of, and til ir increased value, wouid ! stimulate the farmer to greater enterprise ! and industry . Seltleis would move into j now sparsely populated distiicts; the sy.s- ■ tern ot farming would improve; the price I of lands go up; daily intercourse with iu-.j lelligtnt, emerprizing business men,! wouid expand the views and awaken the dot mint energies of people long shut out trom the stir and busiie of active life.— That these are some of the inevitable le sults of radioad enterprises, no one who ; studied their history will deny. Oilier interests will exercise a great ! influence in the construction of the Grif fin ami Decatur road. The Macon &! Western Railroad Company will doubt- j less anticipate the advantages likely to; accrue to itself in the increased amount of freight and travel which such a road would bring to it, and will promote by | its stock subscriptions the furtherance of the project. So with the Central Road. And when we come to Savannah, who duubts that she will contribute to the ex tent of her ability. Were there no other; motive, self-iuletest alone would render! the consummation of this work a matter! of deep importance to her. indeed, the 1 mad itself was suggested at Suvauisah, and the history of that city teaches thoi her citizens are not addicted to sporting with the hopes of the people, or sketch ing enterprises which they are not pre pared to “back up.” Savannah will do her part. We have said ih.it the people of Giif fin and of Spalding rou-nty will not be backward in promoting the success of the road to Decatur, and that an earnest may be given of what we are willing to i do, we renew the Jeffersouians’s sugges- | lion of two week’s back, that a meeting j be held here on the first Tuesday in May’ for die adoption of such measures of co operaiion .iHii ii.o people of Carroll and I Cow eta eounU •, as rnay be , deemed most comtuctivo to the interests of the, project undet consideration.
