Tho meeting held in this place, o’
Thursday last, to tied a Presidel
and Board of Directors for the presei
year, resulted in the election of th
following gentlemen:
Directors:
Van Wert —Cols. Seaborn Jones anc
J. P. Dever.
Stileshoro’. —Dr. 8. F. Stephens ant
R. H. Cannon.
Atlarta. —Col. E. Hulbert.
Cartmrwlle. —Msj. Murk A. Cooper,
Abda Johnson, Thomas Stokely, J. G
Stocks, D. W. K. Peacock and Wm. H
Gillie rt.
The Board of Directors elected Hon.
Mark A. Cooper, President.
The attendance upon the meeting
was large, and the debates exciting and
spirited. $300,000 stock was taken.
The new President and Board of
Directors were in council during a
good portion of the following day, the
result of whose deliberations we have
been, as yet, unable to ascertain, fur
ther than that steps would be taker,
within the next fortnight, to locate the
Road.
Among those present from a distance,
we had the pleasure of shaking by the
hand F. S. Fitch, of the Griffin Slav,
J. S. Peterson, Com. Editor New Era,
and onr lean friend Wliidby, report* r
for tlie Atlanta Constitution, from which
paper, as the result of his labors, we
take the liber.y of making the following
extract :
At an early hour yesterday morning
the people from tl e towns and coun
ties adjacent to Curtersville, began to
pour in. The passenger train from At
lanta brought a number of gentlemen
from that city, among whom we notic
ed, Dr. J. N. Simmons, E. W. Holland,
Lew,* Schofield, A. K. Seago, Col. JR.
V. Mattox, J. F. Cooper, Dr. W. I*.
Harden, ami many others. Cel. E.
Hulbert, J. S. Peterson, and others,
e-Aine by a special train just behind the
the passenger train.
Vmong the large number present, we
were pleosed to recognize Hon. M. A.
C-Kioer. Hon. Dunlap .Scott, Caoi C.
W. Howard, M. A. Harden, S.F. Steph
ens, Col. Robert Crawford, and -A. E.
Marshall.
The meeting wuh called to order by
8. F Stephens, President of the Car
ters? He and Van Wert Railroad Com
jjoiv. In response to repeated calls,
Horn Mark A. Cooper responded in «
plain, practical, common sense speech.
Railroads must be built by work and
not by talk. Loud calls were ranch
f»r Col. Hulbcrt. In responding, that
g -U leinan stated that in his official
q> u-ity, ns Superintendent of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, he was
walmg to extend to it every aid in his
p >wer. It was an important auxiliary
1 > the State Road, and would develops
a due sectio . He was willing to grant
t ;« uae of locomotives, oars, and the
1 * pet at Cartersvilie, to this Road, and
it necessary, to loan it iron. ’ r he en
hancement of property at the termi
n'ts of ?he Road, and contiguous to its
hue, woul 1 pay the cost of its construc
tion in one year. The development
of the iron interest, was of great prac
tical nr ment. The iron of Georgia is
recognized as a superior article. The
iron crop is sure, and never fluctuates.
Tne iron crop will he worth more than
the cotton erop, and the development
tins interest alone will make upper
Georgia the wealthiest portion of the
State. Cartersville was admirably
adapted for manufacturing purposes,
having tine water privileges, and being
situated in the midst of an agricultural
region. He could see no reason why
ah i should not be a manufacturing
town, and have, in the course of the
next five years, a population of at least
2 5,000 inhabitants. Activity should
be tiie motto, and he therefore sugges
ted that the meeting proceed at once
to solicit and receive subscriptions.—
The lists were then opened and $35,
(HJQ was quickly subscribed by citizens
of Curtersviile, Van Wert, Stilesboro
and other points. Hon. Mark A Coop
er then arose and said that if all who
wished to take stock had done so, he
should take ten thousand six hundred
shares, or $255,000. This raised the
amount of Stock subscribed to $300,-
000, and was loudly cheered by the
large and intelligent meeting.
A. long and animated discussion en
sued upon the right of the corporators
to reject subscriptions.
A resolution to turn over the sub
scription books and franchises of the
charter to the stockholders, was car
ried.
lhe presiding officer and Secretary 1
were unanimously requested to act in
thru- positions.
Col. E. Halbert offered a resolution
that the stockholders proceed forthwith
to eiect by bid lot eleven Directors, to
bo determined by a majority of the
votes cast, each share to be counted as
a \ ote, which was adopted.
AtxJa Johnson, R. H. Cannon and
Seaborn Jones were appointed tellers
of tue election.
Gu out the ballots, the fol-
;wmg g-'-uiiKiiien weru declared eiect
d: i
Hon. Mark A. Cooper, Etowah; J. I
F. Dover, Van Wert; Seaborn Jones,
.'an Wert; S. F. Stephens, Stilesboro;
11. H. Cannon, Stiieeboro; Abda John- j
on, b'artersville; Thomas Stokely, 1
■Jartersville. D. W. K. Peacock, Car
ersville; \V. H. Gilbert, Cartersvills;
T. G. Stocks, Carters\ ille; E Hulbert,
ML nice
Complimentary votes were cast for
A. E. Marshall, of Ailanta; W. T.
Burge, Dr. J. G. Sims, of Stilesboro,
and Dr. W. W. Leek, of Cartersvillo.
The meeting then adjourned.
Alter the adjournment, the Direct*
ora met and elected Hon. Maik A.
Cooper, President.
The Board meets to-day to frame
by-laws, and will 'probably adjourn
subject to the call of the President.
We were pleased to see the energy
of the friends of this road, and believe
that it will be built.
Hon. Murk A. Cooper is a man of
uore than ordinary ability, and for
uore than a quarter A a century hat
>een identified with public enterprises,
n fact he is a leader in the field oi
/rogrcßS, and the development of onj
latural resources. In church or State,
he has been recognized as a leader and
not a follower. His life has been one
of unblemished character, and he can
well say:
••Mins honor i* my li'e, boil, grow in one,
lirno from me ane my life in done,”
Though * hattered in fortune and
vergingon three score and ten, yet when
Mark A. Cooper announced his sub
scription the people who knew him had
full confidence that he meant what he
said. He represents a Northern Com
pany, and they having implicit reliance
iu him, allow him to take it in his own
name, and vote in his own name. He
possesses extraordinary vim, and is a
man of dauntless energy.
He possesses more force to-day than
half the young men of the South, and
his election as President, guarantees
not only the building—but the speedy
building of the Road.
The B~nrd of Directors was an ad
mirable selection. They are men ot
wealth of culture and refinement,
vigorous and resolute. A better se
lection could hardly have been made.
Cartersvihe is a thriving place. Her
citizens possess a ‘.dive’ ’ character
which ensures success, rsotwitustand
i g the ravag. nos war, they have re
cuperated, and the town presents a
handsome appearance. Many new
buildings have been erected, and are
in } recess of construction. Anew
and handsome bri< k Court House is
going up. Anew hotel end a Baptist
Church is contemplated. We are
pleased to meet with our fat friend of
the Carters vide Express, and learn
that the Express was in a flourishing
condition. Sam is a whole team and
the driver thrown in, and Cartersvillo
cannot well do without him. At no
distant day, a large Cotton Factory
will Le built near that town, and Iren
Foundries and Rolling Mills greeted.
Cartersville has a bright future before
her, if her people will but encourage
manufacturing enterprises in her
midst, invite them, and assist in de
veloping her great natural resources.
The special train with the Atlanta
delegation reached here at 10 o’clock
last night. The party partook of a
fine supper at the Keneaaw House ia
Marietta, and returned highly delight
ed with the trip.
Goco for Athens anu Better for
Georgia.— The editor of the Athens
Watchman, Hon. J. H Christy, says
chat seven 1 Northern gent lei en have
been in that community looking for
locations for settlement that they
have been well pleased and purchased
lands. Let all such be welcomed
among us; and we hope our land-hold
ers will look to their own interests and
tho general interest of the community,
and sell lands at fair prices.
While ou this subject, says the Tel
egraph, we take pleasure in stating
wiiat we know to be true, and that is,
that the people generally of the North
are not a liundreth part as bitter to
ward us as are the vile trading politi
cians—mo t of whom ought to be
hanged. During the past winter we
were brought in frequent contact with
Northern people of every grade and
calling ministers, lawyers, doctors,
mechanics, farmers, merchants and
manufacturers. They express kind
feelings—eveu the more liberal oi
their preachers—than do thoir politi
cians.
Another gratifying sact —and’it was
noticed by everybody, and as a Geor
gian we were proud of it—they all look
upon Georgia as a “live State” —a*-
truly tho “Empire State of the South.”
Everybody seemed anxious to come to
Georgia, and hundreds assured us
they would do so, if the politicians
ever got done the mischievous and
never-ending work of reconstruction.
Important Decision. —From a gentle
man just from Clayton Court, we learn
that Judge Pope made the following
important decision upon a case, in
which the facts were about as follows:
In 1859 or 1850, an execution was ob
tained in favor of A against B. B af
terwards—about 1852 -sold his land
to C, the claimant in the case. Iu
1858, A hul his ti. fa, levied upon the
property of C, which he had purchased
from B. It was admitted that C had
been in possession of the land for more
than four y ears, and A had not dis
turbed it with his fi. fa. After argu
ment, Judge Pope held, That the stat
ute of Georgia which provides that
where a party holds land four, and
personal property two years, undis
turbed by judgements against the par
ty from whom he (the purchaser) pur
chased, was not a part of the statute of
limitation, and had not been suspend
ed by any legislation enacted during
or since the war; and that real prop
erty held for four years, and personal
propei ty for two years, undisturbed by
judgments against a party from whom
such property was purchased, was re
lieved from the liens of such ju g
ments.—Griffin Star 9 lk.
Washing ton, April 10.—The XJ. S.
Congress adjourned at IT o'clock nine
dt a
ilen. loudk,
In discussing Butler’s butchery bill
in regaid to Georgia Gen Young first
broke the long dreary silence that has
brooded over the benches once filled
by the sons of the South. It sounds
t namely to hear a man not of the
North make articulate sounds in this
sectional forum and in behalf of polit
ical orphans and outcasts such as we
are. The General lias spoken like a
man and a patriot, God diets him, and
we accept his defense of us with cor
. dial approbation and endorsement.—
He says:
| Mr. Speaker, I pass on with a bare
j reference to the second section of the
bill before us. That section provides
that the present acting Governor of
j Georgia, is empowered and authorized
to suspend or remove from office
any civil officer, either executive, ad-
ministrative, or judicial, churning to
hold or exercise the duties of any office
under any authority derived from or
granted heretofore by the provisional
government of the State of Georgia,
or any portion of the people thereof;
and to appoint such other officers in
their stead who are authorized to per
form the duties and invested with the
powers of such officers so removed, and
to fill all vacancies otherwise occurring
in said officers.
The power thus delegated by this
bill to a single individual amounts to a
monstrous tyranny, and is a scandal
to a people professing to be Republican.
It would be an outrage on human na
ture unless this individual liad been
nominated by a voice from heaven and
was tlie divinely appointed head of a
theocracy. Were Mr. Bullock a proph
et or inspired priest; had he lived a
life absolutely without sin t > this last
hour of his existence; had he the self
command and purity of Washington,
the wisdom of Solomon, and the public
integrity of Aristides, it would even
be a crying shame in this hind to exalt
such a human being by the grant of
such fearful powers.
May I ask, Mr. Speaker, what safe
guards do we have in this bill against
tl.e appointment to any or every office
in the Stat» of the most truculent and
ignorant negroes to be found in or out
of Georgia?
But, sir, I weary of tho subject, and
in complete hopelessness make this last
appeal to the honor and patriotism of
Congress. If I had the faintest hope
of a candid hearing, I would plead with
the honorable member from Massachu
setts, who presses this bill, to call for
a fair commission with the fullest pow
ers, who upon the soil of my State
should investigate for themselves and
the whole country the charges, what
ever they may bo, calling for tlie.se ex
treme and cruel measures. I here de
clare upon my honor and in my place
that I believe them to be uncalled El
and the suggestions of private aud
party interests or revenge. The day
has not yet come to write tlie chapter
of our wrongs and our endurance of
them. The honor of our achievements
has been nothing in comparison with
the sublime courage and resolution un
der afflictions and wrongs; aud this
day the universal wish of our people is
to live in peace with all men, and a k
ing favor of none but the poor privi
lege of being let alone to work out our
fortunes as we may be able. ~vYe are
willing to accept the terms, aud under
them to live if we can or die if we
must.
Exactly So. —The Baltimore Gazette
says:
“The audacious wrong which it is
proposed to inflict on Georgia is a blow
struck at all the States By the sub
ordination of Georgia to the will of
Congress their independence is men
aced. If Congress can dictate to Geor
gia what she must do in matters of
strictly State concern, so also can it
dictate in like manner to any other
State of the Union, and the people of
those States who recognize this right
in the one case, cannot with any de
cency complain if, at some future, and
perhaps not very distant day, they find
themselves deprived of their own lib
erties in an equally arbitrary way.”
Ay, they may strike Georgia, but let
them, some day, beware of the recoil
The Fire at Madison.— From parties
who have left the city of Madison since
the lato and structive confUgration we
learn that the lire originated over Se
bastian’s store. Somo twenty-four
business houses and some sixteen resi
dences were destroyed. But one bus
iness house was left. . Much of the
merchandize was destroyed by fire af
ter removal into the street, and much
more stolen by negroes. We learn
that many of the thieves have been ar
rested and lodged in jail. The loss
will be over $400,000 —about $75,’000
covered by insurance. Much distress
is apprehended, as there are no pro
visions in the city. Our City Fathers
very promptly donated five hundred
dollars worth of provisions for them
last night and doubtless our citizens
will double that amount. We were
pleased to learn that the office of the
Farm Journal was saved, though “pi
ed.”—At. Con ,

Silly St hues from t”e South. —Mrs.
Paulina W. Davis writes to the Provi
dence (R. L) Journal to deny a silly
story that she had been poisoned in
Florida. She speaks severely of the
sensational writers who send on such
tales of malicious temper and violence
on the part of the residents of the
South, and says: “Throughout the
South, for the past three Winters, I
have met only kiudness and courtesy
from all classes, and by some I believe
my visits are gladly welcomed.”
Couiinuntcatcd.
Rohe, Ga., April Bth. ISG9.
Editor Exfiesb: It is generally ad
mitted that nef rly all the voungpeach
es are killed, and while every thinking
person know, the loss to this section of
the Stale is considerable, but few know
the extent of the loss. Thut your
readers may know what the people
have lost, allow me to state that since
the fiist of September last, up to tin
first of this month, (seven months,
there was shipped over the Rome Rail
road, three hundred and sixty tliret
thousand, seven hundred and seventy
pounds dried fruit And all this w>*r
sent from a small part of the country.
If the amount of dried fruit sent to
market frem the Counties most of thi
Chattahoochee, was accurately known
it would astonish most persons. The
counties of Dude, Walker, Catoosa,
Murray, Whitfield, Gordon, Bartow,
Paulding, Cobb, and all the counties
North and cast of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, sent more of then
fruit over tho Rome Railroad. When
the Value of dried fruit consum’d at home
and the value of the undried fruit fcegi
to market, and consumed at home, is
estimated, one may form a tolerably
correct idea of the value of tbs frail
crop to the people in this section of
tlie State. J very farmer should, have
large orchards, and the amount of
money from the sale if fruits alone,
would be of great benefit to the peo
' pie.
I have written this to attract atten
tion to the subject, and would be
plead ed to have the views of others
on the subject, and to know what ef
forts are being made to improve the
fruits and to increase tho quantity.
I am inforned that the variety and
excellence of the fruits on Captain
Shelman’s farm in your county, would
sin prise many if they ware to see his
trees in full bearing. His views on
this subject would doubtless be inter
esting.
Com m ii n Seated.
Mr. Dditor: A short time since I
had occasion to visit old Cassville, tlie
scene of my early youth, the home
stead of many, who are now scattered
in the various pursuits of life to diff r
ent sections. This old homesfea 1 of
so many of my old associates, notwith
standing the rude arm of war laid her
hand heavily upon her, and utterly de
stroyed what man had done, (or near
ly so,) yet she still retains to its full
est extent all that was created by Him
who rules. Her geographical posi
tion in Cheerokee (.eorgia; her unri
valed mountain scenery; her bracing
atmosphere and pure water, are too
well known, Mr. Editor, to require vin
dication at my hands. et, old moth
er Cassville, has life in her yet. 11l
her immediate vicinity, live her old
citizens, whose characters for truth,
honesty and Christianity, stand as
firm as those majestic mountains which,
with singular regularity, surround her
incorporate limits. If it were ordered,
as it seems to be, that she should
atone for the error, (if error it was,)
for Secession in Georgia, has she not
bowed and nobly received, and with
Christian resignation, the most severe
punishment, a parallel to which can
no? be found in all the so-called Con
federacy. Yet God, in his infinite
mercy and goodness, still watches over
and about them.
The Methodist Sabbath
numbers one hundred scholars. The
Baptist Church, one hundred and
fifty-five.
A- fine school is .in flourishing ope
ration, headed, as Principal, by Rev.
Robert Headden, a regular graduate,
and talents of the first order. No
spirits sold in the place; the old incor
porate laws fully inforced on that ob
ject. The brick walks, leading around
the .squnre to the old College grounds
remain as firm as when first laid.—
The grave yard, that old sacred hill,
in whoso bosom ?repose those whom
we loved with a feeling unuttered and
never to be told. What thoughts!
what reflections! Shall we never more
behold them ? May tho God of Heav
en and Earth so direct us in thought,
deed and action as shall enable us to
realize to our fullest hopes, when we
depart As remarked, the grave yard
has just been cleared off and neatly
trimmed, and anew and substantial
pailing surrounded the entire brow of
tuat sacred spot Now-, Mr. Editor,
permit me to address a few thoughts
to the citizens of old Cass County. I
speak partially from memory, not hav
ing the date, but the substance is this:
The Methodist Female College and
Baptist Male College, under the super
vision of the above named Christian
Churches, separately, was chartered by
the legislature in 1852. The condi
tions were, that if they failed to keep
up the College exercises for the spact
of three years and at any one time,
the Charter was forfeited and tin
property was to revert back to the
original donors. There was, however,
a statute passed subsequently protect
ing the charter, against the provision
as to forfeiture. Those Charter en
actments &<?., were applicable, to both I
Colleges, word for word. Under the
ltberul provisions of that charter, the
Colleges were erected; the Male Col
lege eoeting, without aparutus, $15,000,
the Female College costing, without
apparatus, SIO,OOO, those firm Insti
tutions under their Christian Profess
ors, were the boast of Uheerokoe Geor
gia, and the pride of the Baptist and
Methodist Churches. What of those
no brick buildings? Gone! Fire
ms long since sen . its forked, flaming
ongue through then- spacious halls—
taped through i heir windows—burst
Inough their roofs! All gone !
Aith here and there, their old sacred
nick walls,bowed and sinking through
neglect, and the old debris, back to
mother earth. tThe old Professors,
thank God, yet liveth—though scat
tered—can be gathered. Shall we do
it?
With the liberal advantages of the
present Charter, and the necessity of
such Institutions in onr midst, I
mow of no better work in behalf of
hit children, nor better location than
at CassviUe. The necessity requires
die veniila ing of this important sub
ject. What say you, people of Cass ?
Let’s put the ball in motion. I shall
patiently look in the columns of news
papers, for some abler pen than mine,
to call the attention of the people to
this important subject.
