Jackson has rendered a very important decision in a case from the Twelfth circuit. Heretofore it has been accepted as law that, w here a pay ment had boon made upon a not • such payment took the instrument out ol the stat ute of limitations. According to the late decision, no note can now be col lected after six years, on the ground that partial payment has been made. The payment is to be considered as an ack noiedgeraent protanto, and not for the entire debt. A company 7 has recently been form ed in England for working a sys tem of machinery adapted to the manufacture of anew and apparently highly successful substitute for coal. The process in question is adapted for the production of tw r o or three va rieties of fuel, the materials employ ed being coal dust, peat, crude stale oil and stale tar. It is to cost seven shillings per ton. Much dissatisfaction prevails among the people generally as to the rates of railroad freights, and especially to the very patent and, as is believed, unjust discriminations which are es tablished by the companies, in favor of through over local rates. Wheth er these discriminations are absolute ly necessary to the profitable running of the roads, and whether proper div idends could not be made to the stock holders, upon a more reduced and fovorable schedule of rates to the intermediate points, are questions which are just now exciting a good deal of public attention, and causing no little feeling. The statement that higher rates are charged upon the way freights and in favor of distant points of transportation, because of the necessity of reducing the latter on account of competing lines, in or der to secure patronage, and therefore enabling the roads to charge less at the way stations, might do very well and be somewhat satisfactory, if this was the result, but so far from operat ing to diminish the rate of charges at these points, they seem to be, in the opinion of many, just about as high as they could well be made, and in their tendency calculated to break down trade at the intermediate points and, build it up at the termini. Not a few believe that the way stations, being entirely in the power of the roads, as to transportation, are sub jected to unfair charges of freight be cause of their inability to help them selves, being entirely dependent up on the roads for travel and freight, and that this fact, and this fact alone, is the cause of the difference in the rates of charges. They are unable to see why the same rates of charges should not he made upon the whole length of the roads, so that the bur thens might be equally borne by all, and no commercial advantage offered to one point over another by reason of discriminations. Especially do they feel unable to see the propriety or justice of demanding higher rates from the people along the line of the Western & Atlantic Rail Itoad, by which the people and merchants at Marietta, Cartersville, Adairsville, &c., are made to pay more on the same articles than the poeple of Ten nessee or the citizens of Atlanta, or that the citizens of this portion of Georgia, whose money built the road, should receive less advantage from the road, and bear heavier burdens than the people of distant States, who never contributed one dollar to its construction. This matter, it is thought, ought to he taken into consideration by the next Legislature, and something done to equalize the freight lists. It is believed that the Legislature has the power so to do, and that the bare fact of having leased the road to a company, does not operate os a con veyance of all rights of legislation and conduct of the road into the ’ hands of the lessees, but that all the powers which the Legislature possess ed prior to the lease, in this respect, exist unimpaired in the hands of the representatives of the people. Any other construction would, of a verity, leave the people at thv <>*'** corporation, with no privileges ex cept such as it might grant as a mat ter of favor. On this point, we publish below the following extract from an ex change, expressive of the already de cided opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States: THE ILLINOIS RAILROAD LAW. The new railroad law of Illinois, intended to prevent unjust discrimi nation and overcharges on passenger fares and freights by railroad compa nies, contains (says the New York Sun) some stringent provisions. Inj the case of a verdict for the people in any trial under this act, the corpora tion involved will be liable to a tine between the sums of $1.0;i0 and ss,<>oo for the first offense, and in an increas ed ratio for subsequent offenses, the maximum penalty in a single case being fixed at >2,000. As the author ity of a Legislature to make laws reg ulating tlie management of railroad lines in the matter of charges has been a subject <»f discussion, a recent Jecision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Olcott against Fond du Lac county, Wis., becomes of interest from its relation to this subject. This decision asserts as beyond all controversy or question that all railroads are public highways, having no existence save as such. It declares that: “No matter w 7 ho is the agent, the function performed is that of the State. Though the ownership is private the use is public.” The court further says that, though all persons may not put their own cars upon the road and use their own mo tive power, this “has no bearing up on the question whether the road is a public highway. It bears only up on the mode of use, of which the Legislature is exclusive judge.” This decisiou by the highest judicial au* thority in the land establishes the principle that a Legislature has very comprehensive powers in relation to the management of railroad lines within the limits of the State it rep resents.

As the up passenger train on the Southwestern Railway was speeding along yesterday be tween Americus and Andersonville it ran suddenly into the scene of the most extraordinary hailstorm that we ever saw or heard of in Georgia. For ftve miles on both sides of the track, and as far as could be seen, the ground was covered wij;h hailstones that had just fallen. Some of these stones, as can be testified to by a doz en or more passengers, w ere as large as a man's jist, and nearly all of them in many places—in whole fields, in deed—were as large as hen’s eggs. In some instances the ground was covered so thickly with them that its very color was hardly discernaoie, and recalled, in the most startling manner, winter scenes in much high er latitudes than this. . [COMMIXICATED.] Cartersville, Ga„ ) May 16th, 1873. j Editors Statidard <fc Express: Gentlemen— Having beard much said in regard to exorbitant charges for freights that pass over the Western & Atlantic Rail Road, I have taken it upon my self to look into the matter, and gath er up facts for the people; and as it is a matter of interest to every citizen along the line of said road, I ask that vou give them a place in yonr valua ble paper. The management of this road in terests every well thinking citizen of the State, President Brown’s opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, and if other places, situated on the road, are discriminated against as Carters ville is, no one need stop a moment to enquire if the lessees are making money out of it. It is an old adage that, if a man only gets started down hill every body is ready to give him a kick. I don’t propose to discuss the question, or even to assert that the President of the road is the guilty party, but this much I do say, that whoever the guilty party is, when he is found out, every citizen of the State should begin to kick him, and continue to kick until he is sunk so far below r the bottom round of the ladder that he will never again be able to reach it. But I set out to give you facts, and if any one w’ants to know whether they are facts or not, if they will only take the pains to call on the mer chants of Cartersville and ask to see. their freight bills, as I have done, they can see for themselves. I could give you a long list of them, but think it unnecessary, as a few items will lie sufficient to convince any sane mind that freights over this road are exorbitantly high. Every item giv en is taken from freight bills of re sponsible merchants in this place, and goes to prove that the Western & At lantic Rail Road, w'hile it is a public benefit, is, likewise, an engine of op pression. On a lot of freight, 2,198 lbs., from New York to Atlanta the freight was sls 39. On the same, from Atlanta to Cartersville, 6 30. The distance from Atlanta to New York is 1,100 miles. From Atlanta to Oartersville it is 48 miles. Freight on 2 hags coffee from New Orleans to Atlanta, $1 92. On the same from Atlanta to Cartersville, 93. Freight on 1 hogshead molas ses from Charleston, S. C., to Atlanta, $7 00. On the same from Atlanta to Cartersville, 4 40. Freight on 3 bbls. oil from St. Louis, Mo., to Chattanooga, sll 70. On the same from Chattanoo ga to Cartersville, 5 25. On a car load coal from Knox ville to Cartersville w T e pay.,..,,533 35. And we are credibly informed that only 29 00 is paid on a ear load from Knox- ville to Atlanta. Freight on lot vinegar from Cincinnati, 0., to Chattanooga, per hundred lbs., $ 45. On the same from Chattanoo ga to Cartersville, per 100 1b5.,.. 43. Freight o’n 2£ casks of hams, 1,120 lbs., from Nashville to Chattanooga, $ 3 00. On the same from Chattanoo ga to Cartersville, 3 £O. Freight on 3 boxes glass ware from Louisville to Chattanooga $ 1 15. On the same from Chattanoo ga to Cartersville, 1 25. Freight on 30 bbls. potatoes from Louisville to Chattanooga sl9 95. On the same from Chattanoo ga to Cartersville, 15 00. Freight on 3 hhds. sugar from to. Atlanta,. I >ll f.ru* sLAin** from A Hontw CUT Cartersville 11 45. Freight on bbl. whisky from Nashville to Chattanooga, $ 1 40. On the same from Chattanoo ga to Cartersville, 1 75. Now then, Messrs. Editors, w'ith such facts as these before me, I think comment unnecessary. But, kind sirs, it is enough to make every true citizen of Georgia rise up in the maj esty of his strength and begin to kick and continue kicking until every op pressor of a down trodden and pov erty rung people is kicked out of place and power. Your paper, and J every other paper throughout the glorious old State, and ! dare say an appreciative community will sus tain me in the assertion, should speak out against this wrong, and let these public carriers understand that the people have borne tiie.-e gypievanees untli forbearance has ceased to be a Virtue, If this does not remedy the evil, at tiie next pieeting of the islature let us have a hill passed reg uiutiiiK lreijflitß, and make the press ure upon the hand of these monopo lies so heavy that they will be com pelled to relax their hold. Let the people be thoroughly aroused upon this question, and it will not be long until their voice will be heard and heeded— vox poputi, vox Dei. The voice of the people is the voice of! God, is a truism. The people, as a general thing, are willing to pay a reasonable compensation for all they get, but they are not willing to pay so heavy a tax as is now imposed up on them in this direction. Let us hear from you, gentlemen; the peo ple will sustain you in this good work, Citizens of Georgia, J appeal to you, and you respond, What can we do? The answer is plain. Speak out upon this vital question. Talk it! around your hearthstones. Urge it 1 upon your neighbors. Press it upon your Representatives and Senators, i lalk and write, w 7 rite and talk, and i use your powers at the ballot-box. : Set in for a lifetime struggle, if need be, but what you have reform in this matter ot monopoly and unjust dis crimination, Yours, with respect, Georgian. Georgia has a society for the pro duction of dumb animals but it failed to receive legislative support and is acting, without a charter, but as the mnir-ty 111 hunting Up the statute sound iavv enough t<> ot-gm on, an or ganization was perfected and officers elected. In the absence of the neces sary statutes the society propose to call to his assistance the code of the statute which enacts and adopt as a part of the law 7 of the State “such por tions of the common, civil, canon, and statute laws of England as were usually in force in the Province ol > irgia prior to the 14th of May, A. D., 1776, which wore applicable to the condition and habits of the people so far as the same are consonant with our form of government, and are not repealed, modified, or suspended by the provisions of the constitution and laws of this State.” Certain old Eng lish statutes, as 22 and 23 Car. 11., chapter 7, and 9 Geo. 1., chapter 22, come under one clause of this author ization, and sundry cases decided on common law indictments come under the other; so that with proper care any atrocious cruelties to animals are legally cognizable as matters now 7 stand. Still, there is need of such dis tinct and postive statutory legisla tion as obtains in Maine, Massachu setts, Illinois, Pensvlvania and New 7 York. In time the Society will doubtless secure this.

One watches cells, and the other sells watches. “HOME AT LAST.” Occasionally we meet with some of our citizens who, won by report- of the far famed Texas, are disposed to give up this, one of the mast fertile healthy and delightful regions of the eoptinent, and emigrate to that eonu trv. Occasionally, too, we meet with a poor fellow who has made the trip, and returned perfectly satisfied to spend the remnant of his days just here. We deem it not amiss, for the benefit of ahy who may be laboring under the emigration fever, to pub lish the subjoined letter, taken from the Albany New’s, which so fully ac cords with the experinece of some others whom we have met, that it sounds almost like the rehearsal of the same story, and which it would be well for all to regard before they venture their fortunes and those of their families in the wilds of the West. May 6th, 1873. Colonel Cirey W. Styles : Dear Sir: —l intended while in Texas to write you a letter for the benefit of our South-West Georgia friends who are so desirous of mak ing a home in that State, To them I say you will ever regret it. I saw four months of Texas. I traveled over Middle Texas and through Southern Texas, and pronounce it a trap well set. It has caught its thous ands, and millions are traveling on, doomed to be disappointed, but still they go. Some are pleased, some not and not able to return, and some — return. Texas is a fine landed coun try—as fine land as any country can boast of — But ! The cost of saving the productions from tJie land takes away all the profits. Labor is uncer tain and poor, principally white, ex cept on bottoms (river bottoms) where the negro prevails, in fact, it js exclusively negro. Fverything is a great deal higher there than here in proportion. Rails are worth from S4O to S6O per thousand or 10 cents each. Lumber S4O per'thousand delivered at depots and off in country towns ran ges as high as S9O. Improved lands are on the market atffrom sls to S6O per acre, according to the distance from town. I know of land 80 miles front railroad in Erath county sold in December for $29 per acre, Improve ments very indifferent. In a letter to the Telegraph & Messenger “Facts” described the improvements exactly, and his letter gives the right picture of Texas. The climate is much colder than I expected to find, and so disagreeable! The mud is also a disagreeable com panion, as it brings to mind this sen tence, —“sticketh closer than a broth er,” but it’s a kind of a stick not at all desired. I’ve seen 12 yoke of ox en hitched to one wagon pulling hard to try and get the wheels to turn, but in vain, for the driver is compelled to halt and clean his wheels. This, however, occurs only after rains or rainy weather, as the roads are A; No. 1, in good weather, but that seems to come so seldom. All these objec tions may seem trivial to those desi erous of a move to the “Great Prai rie State,”lbut they assume huge pro portions when once you are there. To ihe young men I say remain as you are, for I am personally acquaint ed with the best salesmen in Middle Texas, men who control a great deal of trade, and they only get S4O to SSO and S6O per month. These are men who know a great many of the in habitants who trade in their respect ive towns. To a young man from Georgia or any of our old States I say you can’t get employment only on farms and at a paltry sum. A cash only S4O per month, mr dfagt lion in Texas I’ll guarantee there are twenty aspirants. The State is over loaded with young men. In Dallas. Texas, a principal town oh Houston & Texas Central R. R. there were, in February, 150 aspirants for one situa tion—conductor’s position—and they bid the salary down to $lO per month. I hate to hear of any one leaving Georgia and going to Texas, as I know what it is. To the rich men Isay you can make millions there, but to any one else I say stay at hoir*e. The cost of im provement in Texas is too much for us who have so little. I came back and intend to buy me a home in Georgia. Unimproved land is cheap, worth, according to distance from railroad, from $2 to sl2 per acre, and after the fence, poor as it is, is put up, cabin built and stock bought, it will cost S2O to $25 per acre. Some may say they can do ou lesa. I was there and mailt, up my mi nil I’d stay and rough it and said I knew I could fix i,p my farm for $8 or $lO per acre. I sat down, took a pencil and made a memorandum of all the things I was necessarily compelled to have, and it was $27 75 per acre! The things I wanted were 1 horse, 1 wag.in, 1 house, 1 fence, etc.,but they count up. You are oblidged to pay casu for everything. The printipal drawback to Texas is the great scarcity of timber. J*uiow men in Texas who haul their burn ing wood from 15 to 20 miles. How is that, Georgia farmer, you who can go to your woods almost at your door and get the best of wood ? The society in the country of Texas is poor—poor and little of any kind. The towns are rilled generally with a good, kindhearted, generous people, and 1 am under many obligations to so me‘of them. f o the people of Georgia I s;.y re main by the old “ Empire State ,” and let us rally around her and support her with “ Wisdom, Justiee and Moderation." New Orleans Times * “The most curious instance of resuscitation re corded in our annals happened last Thursday on Prytania, street, near Terpsichore.

ENLARGEMENT OP A GEORGIA IN DUSTRY —waking’s cement WORKS NEAR KINGSTON. The Daily Hearld gives a very fa vorable account of the pavement now being laid in Atlanta, of Portland Ce ment. We are truly gratified to learn the fact, as it must result in the great extension of the Cement works of Mr. G. H. Waring near Kingston, thereby dispensing with the need to send abroad for an article that can lie produced in Georgia, and also afford employment for many, in what may almost be considered anew home in dustrial enterprise. From tests made years ago by order of the U. S. Gov ernment, in work on fortifications at Charleston harbor, as well as those of Civil Engineers and for domestic pur poses, Cement made from the quarry now owned and being developed by T Mr. Waring was proven to be superi or to the Portland and Louisville va rieties. As regards the fitness of Kingston Cement for paving, and its durability, all doubt will be removed by an ex amination of such work done with it in front of the residence of Rev. C. W. Howard at Springbank as neith er the frosts of many winters, nor the iron hoofs of Sherman’s vandal horde could destroy. For foundations, cistern lining and basement floors, the Kingston Ce ment is all that can be desired, and a ground floor laid with it at the coun try seat of an English gentleman near Kingston is unquestionably su perior to any similar work we have seen in the United States or Great Britain. We trust Mr. Waring will soon extend the capacity of his works to the full requirements of the State, and that ere long, shipments of Hy draulic cement to Georgia, will be in accord with “sending Coate to New Castle. ’ Cutoom Courier. RELIGION IN THE SOUTH. Dr. Iloge, of Richmond, Va., said in a recent address at Philadelphia: There are some influences which hinder the progress of Christianity elsewhere, which are found in the South, but to a limited extent. Its white population is the most homo geneous on the continent. As yet the foreign element is comparitavely small. The European continental forms of unbelief do not prevail among us. The native population is not migratory. It loves the ances tral home and clings to the soil in which the dust of forefathers is mingled. The decendants|of the earliest settlers are sometimes yet to be found just where the original stock was planted. Tiic old religious creeds are venera ted and a spiritual conservation cher ished which has no sympathy with novel or specious forms of errors. There is no part of the world where there are so few skeptical isms. There is, indeed, a lamentable and wide spread indifference to the Church of God and the glory of its exalted head, but the irreligion of the South is not the irreligion of infidelity or of crys talized forms of unbelief. And least of all are our people infected by the scientific skeptical philosophy of the day, which asserts such an unvary ing uniformity in the operation of physical law as to leave no place for the supernatural, and therefore de nies miracle, discredits prophesy and silences prayer, It follows, therefore* that the relig ious teacher in a Southern communi ty has not the double task of having first to storm some outwork ofinfidel ity before he can reach the inner cita del of natural aversion to evangelical truth; and this certainly gives him a great facility in his efforts to dissemi nate the truth. wiie New York World thinks the iron interests of St. Louis are threat ened more seriously in an easterly and southerly direction tljaq by the city of Pittsburg, New furnaces are being erected in different parts of Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, where iron can be made cheap, and rolling mills are bound to follow, for capital and skilled labor will find their way to places where they are the most remunerative. This is so certain as to be inevitable, and the fullness of time and the exhibition of manly pluck are only needed to give |t realisation. The census statistics arrange wo men’s occupations under seventy-two ]leads. Domestic servants head the list in point of numbers, and, strange {to say, “laborers on farms” come next. There are 97,000 seamstresses, 00,000 milliners and dressmakers, and j K 4,000 teachers. There is a glorious ;army of J 0,170 nurses. There are t preachers, shoemakers, journalists, [authors, “mechanics not specified,” | and oniy one hundred “show wo men.” But who would dream of women “steam-boiler makers, five,” ‘bell founders, four,” “hunters and trappers, two?” Hostlers, charcoal burners and miners also figure in the ■list.
