Map f Northern Italy.
NVe present to our reader* with this issue, in
the form of a supplement, the map of Northern
Italy. It has been constructed, as will be ob
served, with much geographical particularity and
will he found highly convenient for reference,
and will greatly assist one who studies it thor
oughly In comprehending the tojwigrupby of
the seat of war, and the relative position* of the
the contending armies. The disposition of the
respective couibattants represented on the map,
correspond* with the positions which they bold at
the outbreak of the war. Hinee then the French
and .Sardinian t army has encroached upon the
Austrian line of defence, and, successively at
Montebello and Magenta,driven it back. AUhhl
accounts the Austrians were evacuating Milan,
aud ere now, we presume, the allied flag is float
ing above the fortifications of that ancient city.
Piedmont is the continental portion of th°
kingdom of Hard in in, and together with tho Is
land of Sardinia in the Mediterranean, contain*
a population of about ft,000,00(1. Lombardy and
the Venetian territory, lying to the north-east of
Piedmont,were annexed many years since to Aus
tria, ami also contain a population of .'>.000,000.
To the sooth cast of Piedmont, and southward of
the Lonibacda-Venetian Kingdom, lie the nomin

I but feebly expre. * tho emotions I feel when I
say that the distinguished honor conferred upon

Goorgia. I did not expeot to respond in person
to this nomination, (lie official intolligence of
which was conveyed to me by your coiuuiittoe:bnt
they told me Dial it wa* your wish that 1 would
do so; aud wishing to respond to every desire on
your purt as far as I can consistently, 1 have np -
pen rod before you.
W ere all proud of our uoble State, and well;
wc may be. Justly my she be culled the Empire j

beyond her border*. lam no aspirant for Fade
ral honors. I think 1 have cause to be proud of ‘
the State over which 1 ha\o the honor to preside. ■
when I look at the public gazette* of the country !
and see her bonds, as was lately the case, quoted ]
at a higher premium than those of auy other :
State iu tlm Union. With a debt of about two aud ;
a half millions, while she own* public property !
worth from seven to ten millions, it is not strange :
that her credit should stand high in the eomuier
cial world. Well may her bonds command tho j
highest premium. He r resources sw a*t and j
are Iwiing rapidly developed. Her railroml enter !
prim'* arc Iming pushed forward with great rapid- I
ity, connecting the different sections of the Slate {
together. Already the (ample of remote portion* j
of the State are lamoming neighbors.
A tew years ago it took weeks (ortho people of j
Cherokee Georgia to reach Savannah with their !
produce and return home; and it was thought to 1
be almost like going nut of the world, for thepco- 1
phs of that city to go beyond the Allamaba. Rut
now, in a few hours we may travel ail over the
State- from Hast to West from North to South.
This is exceedingly gratify ing. Hut there is an
other thing in which 1 foela still doejwr interest, j
I with to aeo every free white child in tho whole j
State educated. | Enthusiastic cheering. ) 1 nm |
willing to labor to that point, 1 um willing to de
vote the whole energies of iny life to the accom-
plishment of that end. Wo can do it without in
creasing the taxan of tka people. Wo may even
reduce the taxes while we are doing it, and pay
the public debt into the bargain. The Western
A Atlantic Railroad is now paying into the Trnanu
ry of Georgia, monthly, between thirty-five and
forty'thousand dollars, clear of all expenses ami
repairs. There ia no bubble about it. The money
is there subject to appropriation by the General
\h seiuhly of Georgia ; aud should 1 continue to
hold the office I now hold. 1 shall fed that i have
been somewhere at fault, or thnse under me, if I
do not continue the payments into the Treasury
at about these figures; and yon would have u
right to ask me the cat*’ of a failure, and-you
should condemn me if 1 have not done iny duty
You have a right to enquire of my succeasor in
office the same thing. Tho road, iu a tew years,
should he made to pny the entire public debt of
the State, and increase the educational fund loan
amount sufficient to educate every son and daugh
ter of Georgia. 1 know that amuo arc opposed to
taxing one portion of the State in order to aid in
the education of the childreu of another portion.
This 1 do not propose to do, I do not propose to
increase the tuxes of th people at all. I had
rather reduce them. All that 1 desire in the way
of the education of the children of my State can
be attained from the income of tlm road if it be
well managed.
Gentlemen, l felt a groat deal concern w hen I
heard of tho dissensions that prevailed this body:
but when I rorteotod that the delegations scut up
by the different countio embraced so much of
tho weight and talent of the party, I foil assured
that you would bo able to harmonise, and part us
brothers. lam happy that such ha* been the
result. The platform which you lmve laid down
meet* mj approbation, and I do nut hesitate to
say that 1 stop upon it [enthusiastic cheers] nor
do 1 doubt that the Democratic partv throughout
the Prate will do the same. They will rise in thvir
might and rally to the s.andard and triumphant
success will he the result. Our opponents predic
ts! that there would be raroaport and fun for them
growing ont of tho dissensions of tho unterrified
Democracy. I did not believe it. 1 believe there
was too much good sense in tho Democratic party
to suffer this. It was not to be expected that we
could agree iu every particular. Ido not endorse
every act of the National Administration. I have
rarclv soon an Administration whoso every net 1
could endorse. But there has been enough of
harmony for us all to part as brothers and go be
fore the country as a unit. No party can main
tain itself up to a standard of strict test by which
all its members are required to regulate tlieir con
duct and opinions on all questions of State and
Federal policy. I'nlty of aenltment upon great
cardinal principle# is all thut can lie safely re
quired. Had more been required, it would have
produced division. Our opponents would have
taken advantage of this to our injury, and wo
could not have Idarncd them. It would have bocu
their right. I think I may safely say they aits
welcome to all they can make out of our present
difference* of opinion. ! accept your nomination
and am a candidate, nnd want all the votes I can
rt, and I expect to get many of the other party.
tool conscious that I have labored faithfully,
ami honestly iu the discharge of my official du
ties. 1 believe that the mass of the opposition
narty are houest man. and that they iu their
hearts approve my course, and that many of them
will vole for me. I shall sacrifice no principle to
gather votes, nor do I believe that they will sac
rifice any principle in voting for we.’ Ido not
kuow who my opponent is to be. I hope he may
lie the strongest and best man of his party, for
there ia some credit in boating their boat man thir
ty thousand votes, which I expect if. I live, to do.
I do not feel that 1 could be very well satisfied
with less.
But. gentlemen, before closing, there is another
point to which I wish to call your attention. It
ia my duty to say to yon that 1 cannot uudartake
to canvas* the State. Were Ito undertake it, i
few that nty pby*icl itrengtb would fail, god
that I should fall by the way. My official course
has been open and above board, and iskfiown to
the people. lain willing to he judged by luy
a-i*. While in office I could not canvas* the
State without, frequently neglecting important
official duties: and I aui unwilling to neglect the
duties of an important official trust confided to ate
by the people lor the purpose of canvassing for
another term in office. If my health permits,
and I can perform faithfully my Executive duties,
aud by necessary eo-ojujration with the able, ef
ficient and trust worthy officer* of the Suite
Road, can assist them to pour into your State
• Treasury from thirty-five to forty thousand dol
lar*! in cash per month. I Aha)! feel that l am
doing the State more service than l or any one
who may be my opponent could do by travelling
over her territory and making stump speeches.—-
This monthly argument I e.\|>ect to continue to
repeat. Thirty-five to forty thousand dollar* per
month l* un argument in favor of the Democracy
that will be felt in fh** elections.
For the compliment which you have paid me
to-day, aud the renewed expression of your con
fidence. ne'ept,gutiuuon, my profound gratitude
and sincere thanks. [Applause.] *

It resembles California gold more closely than

The gold in the large puckugc is from Gregory,
and is saved with quicksilver. For this I paid

The mines are surprisingly rich—so old miners

the officers in the station hou.se were surprised to
hear one of the prisoners offering up a fervent
prayer. Upon lookiug into one of the rooms the
negro was discovered upon his knees, and pray
ing as earnestly ns if he were in church. Upon
concluding his prayer, he arose and quoted the
passage, “Knack, and it shall be opened unto

himself the truth of thu above passage. “If,”
saul ho, “tho Bible is true, my prayer will be
heard.” Ju*t in* he concluded his argument,
turnkey Hash, from order* received from Justice

a strong article against the re opening of the Af

“I. Because, if hereafter, and under other cir

“2. Because, it is now impracticable and idle.

Mobile A tilrard Rail mad. MaJ Howard.
In another column umy bo found a timely ar
ticle from the Eu</nirtr protesting against the
election of any one else than Maj. John 11. How
ard to the Presidency of tho Mobile A Girard I
Railroad. Before its appearance, the idea was not
“UtoruUicd by us that there was a disposition on the
part of some of the member- of the present Coun
cil to soperemle him. Wa are incredulous to be
lieve that the guardians of ou city seriously in
tend to defeat Maj. Howard's election to the Presi
dency of the road does the good people of
Dili oity credit such a rumor. The office of Presi
dent of the Mobile aud'Girard Railroad is a most
onerous and unenviable one. It was neither
sought nor declined by Maj. Howard, who seldom
shrinks from the jierformaßce of any duty no
matter how arduous or difficult. Having at heart
the interest of the city, be ha# poshed forward an
enterprise to completion, which quailed the
stoutest hearts, making personal enemies in bis
commendable *eai and stirring energy. Why
#hould the Council tote against him? lias be
wanted his time in idleness ? No. Has be been
wanting in energy ? No. Ha* he failed to meet
the most sanguine expectation* of the fritnds of
the road? No. What then, b the matter ? From
all we can learn he has not been fortunate iu the
location of some of his Depot*. That is to say,
he has con salted the interest of th* stockholders
of the road, regardless ul’ the interest ami conve
nience of nomv of hi# friends.
Grunting that Maj. Howard doe# not give uni
versal satisfaction, from his hold, ardent temper
ament, and that he mnkue a few personal ene
mies in the successful prosecution of the Mobile
and Girard railroad to completion, when the city
dispense* with his service# for those of anew and
unexperienced man, they will rue the day. We
tiuheritatingly say, that he combines more of the
clement* of a competent President of a road la
boring r embarrassment* than any man
within the limits of our acquaintance. Others
may give up au enterprise from deapondency and
wont of encouragement, it is then that Maj. How-
ard show# that untiring energy, real and abilitv.
so characteristic of him.
As to the Superintendent, John Howard, Esq.
he is every way competent—having received in
struction in the science of Engineering from one
of the most talented Engineers in the country,
viz: Mr. Dennis 11. Mahan, Professor of Engin
eering at the U. 8. Military Academy.
We then unite our voice with that of tho AV
‘/uirer in protesting against any movement on the
part of the City Council that contemplate* the
removal of Maj. Howard. We have 100 mneh
confidence in the judgment, honesty and ‘ability I
of the present Council to believe that they will
commit such an act in the face of the overwhelm
ing facta before them. Enough for the present.

Thy life, fair Co*, in pleasant dream#
Is passing swift away,
And the beauteous dawn of girlhood’s morn
Is ushering iu the day.
Thy spring is hastening on apace.
Thy summer's coming soon
Aud the buds of May will pass away
For the lovely flowers of Jnne.
The Spring has many beauties rich
And flowers Dir to view,
The longing gaze on future days
Contrasted with the new.
The heart's fond hopes of coming bliM
And all the joys they’ll bring.
Affections present pleasures too
May yet be thine in Hpriug.
Thy Hammer—may it lie to thee
A calm aud happy time.
No fretting care or black despair
To blight thee in thy prime.
Spring bud* will then be opening flowers
And may thy hope* prove true—
And many a fear will disappear.
May all thy sorrows too.
Thy Autumn—may life’s clustering fruit
Hang thick on every bough.
But 0. remember then you’ll reap
The seed you’re sowing now,
If Spring is passing idly by
No fruit will Autumn yield,
Oh. sow the truth while yet in youth,
‘Twill prove a fruitful field.
Thy Winter—may the close of life
Be free from every pain,

The tdrartf Railroad Flection
Several communication# which we have alrea
dy published have advised our readers that the
approaching election for a President of the Girard
and Mobile Railroad is exciting considerable
interest. Our City Council is understood to i*j
divided on the question of the re-election of Maj.
Howard,and we hear report* of strong opposition
to him among some of the stockholder* along the
line of the road, particularly in the neighborhood
of its present terminous.
W# rw convinced that this dissatisfaction with
Maj. Howard dues not arise from any fault or in
efficiency of hi# tjencrul policy in prosecuting the
work, but rather from local aud perennal causes
of eoinpiaint. That ha bos forwarded the enter
prise with signal and even surprising energy
that he ha* proven himself to he fertile in resour
ces aud ever vigilant in the adoption of timely
expedients—ami that he ha* made the at
his command go as far a s possible in the exten
sion of the work—are propositions that even
those who wish to dispDce him will hardly gaiu
say. But be has given dissatisfaction in partic
ular localities and to individual stockholder* by
hie policy in reference to certain sections of the
road, in the location of depot#, and by little In
conveniences along the line of the road. Granting
these complaint* l<> be well-founded, we do not
think they furnish a good aud sufficient cause for
casting the vote of Columbus against Maj. How
ard. llis general policy and management are
what concerns our city aud affect* her interests.
If the road has flagged under his supervision and
control—if he has been feeble or injudicious in
pushing it forward—or if he has adopted any
regulation# partially unjust toward# Coimiuhns—
these considerations cull for her vote against bun.
Bat behoving that no such charges uu be sus
tained—and indeed we have never heard them
urged --we should regard it a* a hazardous and
uncalled for act if M%|. Howard should bo defeat
ed by the vote of our city representatives. Es
pecially would it be calamitous if the contest
should result in the election if a President in
any way sympathising with the effort to divert a
portion of the trade ot t lie road to Montgomery.

F.d. Unqmfrr :—J see iu the papers that tho *
subject is being disco need in relation to the next i
election *f Directors of the Mobile aud Girard |

ho made ;o_displace the present aide and efficient i
0-i NMf, M"W*r<. II UM* cimiW s* umir,
it will b© a calamity to Coluinbus. \V e all know j
the situation of this Road at the time he wa*
nearly forced lo take the management ot it. The
Road was in debt and under levy. It was in
running order to Silver Run -not a dollar could
be raised to push it further. Maj. Howard at
this crisis nobly came forward, and by bis indo
mitable energy raised money by becoming secur
ity for the Road, paid off old debt*, and has
pushed it on to the present terminus. Reside*, he
has a portion under contract in Hike county, and
it is his intention to have it pushed through to
.Mobile Bay. Now I would ask the taxpayers of
Columbus, will you who have to pay heavy taxes
to pay the interest on the bonds, stand still and
see Maj. Howard sacrificed to the cupidity of a
few property holders at Union Sl.rings, backed
by the people of Montgomery ? For e assured
#I” ‘he object of the Montgomeryites to forestall
this Road, if nossible. They know well, should
this Komi be built, (which will be done ir How
aril continues to manage it), it digs the grave of
Montgomery. Hence the effort to displace him.
I would aay to the citizen* of Columbus, if you
do not want this calamity to befall you, look to
your City Council.

The Times’ Haris correspondent says it is stated
that two of the most influential neutral Powers
have agreed in proposing an arrangement after
the first great battle, and, if necesnnry, insisting
upon tbe adoption of it by the throe belligerent*,
on tbe following principle*.
Ist. That tbe territories gained by the victori
ous party shall be accepted by all the European
Powers as the basis of a Congress.
2<L That the entry of the French into Milan,
supported by a popular manifestation, shall be
considered by tbe Knropean Powers as a convinc
ing proof of the disapprobation in Italy of the
Austrian policy.
3d. The neutral Powers will insist ou an ar
mistice while congress is assembled.
4th. Tbe extension of the kingdom of Sardinia
will be di-cmed essential; the Daehiae o< Parma
aud Modena, with the fortress of Hiacenxu, are to
be added to it.
oth. It will be pro|>oeed to form the Lomhardo-
Venetian Kingdom into a state distract from the
Austriau Empire, but governed by an Austrian
Archduke.

was very desperate between the first and third
corps of the enemy, which latter wa* in conside
rable force. The contest was undecided and con
tinued until Sunday. Our troops threw them
selves on the enemy with ardor and perseverance
worthy of tho arm# of the most glorious feat of
the Imperial army.
