Eighteen rnnnths ago the route from
this point to Va.iwert was surveyed,
and pronounced to be practicable. A
President and regular board of directors
h id been elected, and it was the object
of the organization to heg:n work at
once upon the Road. The Slate had
tendered the Company the services of
the chain gang, provided they would
feed and clothe them ; hut owing to
the legislation of the country, the en
terprise was suspended lor future de
velopments. Eighteen months hwev
elapsed, IrtU srtill the clvamls tiVar envi~

bil tram of evils has vanished into
smoke and fog. and confidence restored
t i business to some extent. The
friends o f the enterprise are again ap

awake to their interests, and set to work
to eotisuniate the project. I'hc cry is
the work must be dont—the Road

the question above, appeared in the
Express. 1 thought at the time, i l
#as an art of great indiscretion on
your part to publish such. Having
hided my time, I now propose to air
swer the questions with a few words
of comment—though not a Secession
ist, in thr technical acceptation ol the
word. 1 was more, il you please- L
was a lleuolutionixt, and have never
had cause to be ashamed o! it*. The
question verv strong 1 ! y implies, that?
those who aided Secession brought
min u poll the country. This re-
proach has not- indy been repeated
again and agaim,. by Northern Radical's*-
but .Southern Radicals preface all their
slump speeches-, with denunciations
ol Secession au k Secessionists-. It is
high time the whole truth should he
made known, amt the responsibility 'or
our present political' condition he put
upon the proper parties, Even Con
servatives, so-called, are inelhtedi to
insinuate that Secessionist are respon
sible for our present eudiarrassinehts*
'f'his, Cos the superficial observer, is ta
ken for granted, and the honest Seces
sionists are taunted and provoked, and
even proscribed, while loyalists, so
called, arc preferred. I may be cen
sured for thus boldly stating facts, bn l
truth will plead my apology. A ques
tion is sometimes apyriately answered,
by propounding another. To answer
the question so strongly implied in the
one at the head of this article, 1 a*k—
Who will acknowledge that he evernn
posed a strict coast ruction of the Fed
eral Constitution ! Not that lie ad
vocated Centra'ism, for no one will
nucule that point. Now, to analyze
first principles, and arrive at facts, is
die first Innum-ss- of a- Miatesmon. As
all creeds in Theology must of iveces
sitv align themselves ir’der, either
Calvin or Armenius, so all political
creeds, must fall into the ranks id ci
ther a Sirin or Liberal Construction
of the Federal Constitution. There is
no neutral ground The doctrine of
State Rights, an! a strict coi strudion
ofrlre' mmstitiuion, as opposed to con
solidation, aim’ the uulia rubber roil*
strtKMiou. is coeval with, and even an
teiedent to, the organization-of th4>- Fed
eral government, To make short woi k,
and the whole subject transparent,
what do Conservatives note desire and
contend for? The restoration of the
original relations between the general
and State governments, with a strict
adherinee to th“ Constitution a c il was.
Tnis, regardless of all old psrlv issues
i< the consummation so devoutly wish
ed for by all true Conservatives. Has
any doctrine since 1737, been better
eiJetiraaed, to. preserve and perpetuate
the Union bv harirmniying the three
coardinatc Departments of government
than lint of strict construction ? New
England politics never recogniz' and the
federal features of our government, and'
alas T too m .uy South of Masons’ and
Dixons line i.ave subscribed to the
same, heresy. Expediency, the Fan
doms Box of tins nation, was the pa
reut of Centralism Expediency, as
opposed to strict construction, first
plead for and obtain the U. S. Bank
in 1791. Expediency, fortified by im
plied incidents, gave birth to the doc
trine and persistent policy of /’ro/ec
licou Expediency, coupled with cu
pidity, gave birth to the assumption
o? Slate dirties atuii the policy of Distri
bution.
Where now arc ill these abstraction.?
gotten up by political lunacy and fool
hardy demugogueisms? Some have di
ed with Or. Raley's similar theory in
moral ethics. Hut, alas! though dead
their works do follow them—the devel
opments of political dogmas, so long'
in antagonism with Democracy are
now complete. II id the doctrine of
strict, as opposed to u liberal const ruc
lion, been adopted and religiously ob
served by the North and South, there
hud been no occasion lor Secession,
and no necessity for war. If there is
cause to day for'arousing and rallying
1) -inn-rats to the rescue, that same
cause has existed for half a century
I Contend that the principles and pn|
icy of that party, of whatever Home,
that his opposed Democracy for fifty
year*, are now being fully developed
Then iel it n«»t be told in Maine, nor
pupii*hed in C-dufornia, that Demo
c-sat-ic Secessionists are responsible for
tlu: calamities that are now upon us as

A YANKEE SCHOOL HARM WRITES love
LETTERS TO HER“DEAR AUTHOR” (A
hick mogxr)-forgks an order for
Q HOC ERIKS, AND GETS iN JAIL.
The Cram! Jurv of Bibb county
were vesterday ealle I upon to investi
gate a rich case, the facts of which we
propose to give in detail :
Several m ntiis ago, a white woman
by the name of Amanda Fawler, thor
oughly imlmed with the iovc of the
‘down, trodd'en African,’ came here from
the North ami entered upon duty as a
teacher ol colore 1 children' She had
no connection with the Lewis High
School, hut was riir.ning’uf»>n*an inde
pendent scale.
in the course of time she met Author
Edmonds, a black negro fellow, who
acts in the capacity of porter at the
family grocery store of Drier <fj- I, ike,
and fell violently in love with him.—
Tiiev carried on a correspondence of
the ni'*st affectionate, loving and en
dearing kind, as will he seen by the
letters published below, and
often met and billed and cooed togeth
er.
Tni« might have gone on indefinite
ly, ami resulted in a permanent uiiiim
between .Miss A mind.i Fawler and her
dear Authur Edmonds, if the aforesaid
Amanda had not been guilty of a little
piece ol moral insanity. On Wednesday
last Mtssrs. Drier 4* Like received
an order purporting to have been sign
ed by the lad) of a prominent Minister.
The order was -ent bv a servant who*
had been in her employment, and re
quested the sending of a ham, ajar of
brandy pcuulies*. some coflee and- sugar,
cud several oilier articles, amounting
t*o eight or ten dollars worth. The
clerk g’Tve the note a cursory glance,
and, not stisniciouing anything, sent,
the goods as requested.
But wueu lie came to copy the or
der into his blotlei, it occurred to him
that something was not right about it,
and that it was in the samp handwri
ting as Antliur’s lore letters which he
had been hi toe habit of read hug tor that
gay Lothario. Catirng upon AuitiJr
lor a specimen letter, (of which he had
a pocket full) and comparing the wri
ting with tiie o.der, iris suspicious
were more fully confirm and. It only
took a few iniimnes to confirm them
by a conference with the lady from
whom it purported to have come, ami
ft nail) vvntii Miss Amanda was called
upon for an explanation, she acknowl
edged to have written it, but claimed to
have somp sort of authority for doing
so. This was all stuff.
She was at once arrested and sent
to ja.i, and ai ihe hour o> writing the
(Laud Jury is considering true bili
against her, which will be returned
and the case tried before Judge Cole
at the present term ol the Superior
Court,
M.os Amanda Fawler is i.bor.t thir
ty-six years of age, is not killed with
good looks, hut appears to be a wo
man o! some intelligence. She has
been teaching a colored school near the
A inevilie branch, she savs she hail
eighteen day scholars and more than
that number of night sciiuiais.
Authur has a tvife and seven chil
dren, who will, no doubt, rend Miss
Amanda’s losing, letters to him with no
small mieitsf.
WecojM ,*vo of her letters to “Dear
A-uthur,” as follows : „

The folly’ of strictlv political legisla
tion, for which the radical Congress
has become n« torions, is illustrated
and rebuked by the results of the late
municipal election in Washington. It
is stated bv an Exchange that ‘•hereto
fore the City Council of Washington
lias been Republican, while the Mayor
lias loci) a Conservative or Democrat.
In order t" secure the little patronage
that attached to the City llall, the
Radicals got Mi. Sumner to introduce
a bill taking the appointing power as
to city offices out of the hands of the
Mayor, been ise lie was a Democrat,
land vesting it in the t.itv Council,
because it was Republic an. The bill
passed Irtish Mouses, and became a law
oiti v a week- or sy ago. At the muni
cipal-' i-JVctwm yesterday, the Council
was made Dcmocriiic bv a decided
maj uity, while the mayoraliiv was left
in doubt, with the chances in favor of
the Ret üblican candidate. Thus Mr.
Sumner and his friends are ‘hoisted
with their own petard,’ and his bill
defeats its own object. 1* they hadn't
passed this* biM, the Radicals would
have all ilie city offices through the
appointment ol Mr. Bowen. wlvo* wilt

President Lincoln came in.
“Well, Tyler,” tie said, “your Bu

after all ?”
“We discovered, Mr. President,”
responded the frank old man, “that
Bragg, with thiaty thousand men, all
told, drove hack Buell, with seventy
two thousand veterans, from Chatta
nooga to the Ohio River ; marched
round him twice and whippet! him at
last, ant! them retreated out' of Ken

“A.nti how do* you. account for that,

sir ; I won't say that, 'l'he

“Why,” exclaimed Mr. Lincoln,
somewhat warmly, “do you mean to
sav that our mer. will not march ami

“There is no braver or better mate

you. Mr. President.”
“With me ?”
“Yes, sir, Ifragj had thirty thous
and men. Ihe had no base of supplies,
no burdensome provision trains, amd
vet no stragglers. If a man fell out
of the ranks, underjmy pretence, he
was shot. To touch that little army,
anywhere, was to fight a force well
under hand, easily controlled. Our
men straggle, disobey, and desert, and
all with your sanction. When found
guilty by a.court you pardon him.”
“It is live most* painful business that
has fallen t<> my lot.”
“But, Mr. President, Congress
knowing your goodness, has removed
