Wo boar no pirHadar Um* |d
tarn in thi* reeiiou in rteptet t the growing ©top#,
that they are gm*?y. Strange to say, too.
thi* complaint 1# vary general. Witli proper
deference • Jbeil superior judgment, w© are con
•indued u think that this condition of thing! is
tbe result of ill hu*l>andr\. We <lo not reuomW
a year hi whlob eMtlWl a more propitious
Kpriug for dean-dug n crop. The month# of
April and May, compared with former /earn, were
vary dry. There wu no rain to binder forming
operation* and give the gras# h vigorous start till
corn and cotton both -lioald hare received the
second working. If these bad Wen given thor
oughly, tb© ©au a© of complaint would not bate
existed. Hut fbe cotton jdantet aeldotu p*y#
utuch attention t tlie corn crop. Mnny of them
never suffer the hte* to go into It at ail. They
rely upon the plough for uprooting and covering
np what grave there may he, and itis nipn*il>le
that this operation ©km have all flic efficacy which
they den ire. They manege, too, to plant about
one-third more land in cotton than they can or
dinarily do j trader (<. Thi# fact, nMimitrlm
rapid ami, c<maet|ueutly, ©aretM* work. The
young grass ia almost entirely overlooked until
the third hoeing, by which time U i# no longer in
a contemptible atfnocify, hut is manfully disput
ing tht maatery with tbapnny plant. The only
ramc.lv agulm-t this evil I# to moderate their de
sires, ani devote Ins* land to cotton. It 1* not
written that they would not thereby infrensff
their rlutM.
Apropos of nr;wi. a friend stated to us the
other day that bo purchased. Hot long sinee.a fin©
mule. In making preparations to break him to
the plough, the muiiiml Mi.tdc bis ©scope, and ha*
ever shire koh-.t discovery and capture, lie
would offer a reward for him, did he not have
strong hope that the heust is in his cotton fluid,
protected from observation by a wilderness of
graas. With Much exceptions the crops in thin
part of the country are very good. W.< Irani
from a gentleman, just from Northern Georgia,
that tha corn is suffering li up drought. The
plant, however, is not in such a flute of forward
ness WS it is with us, and, with propitious -©axons,
may yot recover. One more bountiful ruin‘will
secure teour people an abundance of the stuff of
life.
Opposition ton v.ii mo a ;sd IHetrlrt.
From the Macon State we learn that the
(ippoMo^onventluu, which a*#eiubh<l at For
syth on nteeday, th© 6tb iu*t., nominated th©
Hon. Thom a* If aitokmam, Jr., of Maeou, ffr Con
gross, in (he fid District. This geutlcuian is on©
of the Representative# in the Georgia Legislature
from th© couuty of and a maif of fine social
traits, fttilh hi# can*** and party affiliation* are
such as to deny U> it# all sympathy for his sttu
eesa. We think the opposition mode a mistake iu
’Electing a stam lard-bearer from the eastern por
tion of th© District. Th© western section lias al
ways brought np the majorities for the American
party, and have never yet received th orumb of
a reward for their zeal and devotion to their
©ause. While ww should Haveoppoaed tb© candi
date chosen by tbe Opposition Convention, no
matter from what end of the District he might be
selected, yet we are satisfied that Harris or Upturn
county wa* entitled toth© nomination. In tb©
person of Col. D. P. Hill, she Opposition lih# al
ways rallied strong iu thi# portion of tb© District.
The Opposition, however, do not value hi* infln
euce or count upon hi# number# ux the Democracy.
We promise to give Mr. Hardeman, a manly,
open, determined opposition, resorting to nothing
that would wound his most delicate sensibilities ;
hut. believing that the Democratic flag, under an
active leader, can be'hoisted above the faction ‘
and light up th© path to a glorious and triumph
ant victory.

To the. Stockholder* y’ the Hood
Okvtlijmks :■*- I herewith present you with the
reports of the Superintendent and t’hiff Engineer,
and of iheSoerifwry and Tnjn*urer. By la* first
you are infonM of the condition of the road,
audits prospects, from which* in your collation of
fasde, you will discover that we have triumphed
over the niaiu diUtewlttow**! the work, and that
wo am now proceeding, with rapid march, to Its
eomplatiou to Union Springs, which point we
hdpo to reach on or before the first day of Octo
ber. We may 1m? delayed even to a later |*©riod,
from the great difficulty we tiud in pioeuring
bauds. We have, as yon are informed by (ho
t'bief Kugiiieer, about three miles of Iron ut our
•It'pot, ull ol which ha# ho© n paid for. I have
Ihmd promised by ihe Huperltdn!t*tvt of the Stale
Rondos i < cor gin. l>r. I*wi, ail that b a may he
able to take up. I am axpecUng* portion of it
every day, but should we be disappointed in re
reiving the quantity expected, I can command
it from Philadelphia in nine, but at u much gV©at
1 er price. I have Ihe money to pay tor the hat
r anew of tb iron, from the proceeds of the rity
i bond# of (’oluuibu#, which we Hake carafully
preserved for th© purpose,
We hove a large work going on below Union
Springs, but it is proper to state thul the expense
is borne entire!,) by tbe people of Hike, ami that
they are working Ibr stock which is to In: admit
ted into the general stock of the Company when
evoc soot lour urc completed, ready lor the cars,
mol thv value of the work regulated h> the ©sti
mate of the Chief Engineer. In this arrangement
1 do mil suppose Mutt tbur© is any violation of the
resolution of the stunk loddors that no money shall
be Appropriated or Used for the extension of the
road boy mid Union Springs. The Company has
not paid a dollar for this work except for the sur
vey, which War authorized by : resolution of the
stockholder#. As the oeoplo of have
tuMiHiril tha responsibilit y of extending (he road
through theit country, f innik It is but afM/en
©ouragoment to them for the Company to return
to them the amount which they have invested to
• *+ ry!i I utyn •"Springs s it i# about
iltumn tliousand ddHat*. mid f think that they
.iro the more entitled to this sheet jnstiee.ns they
have undertaken, and are paying tor, work six or
seven miles above their county line.
Prom an examination of the report of the
Treasurer, you will find #11,7 46.0(1 more due
than we have ability to meet. This is all right
from hfs books, but have twenty f*tu of tha
city l.optl# ol l duubni worth apd alflable at
ninety cent* in lie duHar. noioimtfng tos2T nut*
lake our indebtedness of $11,710.06 from it. and
we have a balance in our favor of*#aii'l
..nr mail pay trf #l,.'i6, til the lslol iM%inOHth.
be sales some few good subscriptions, which have
not been reduced to notes or brought into the ac
count. The grading, under the supervision of
Captain Beah\ will be paid for by conditional
subM-riptioiis wot brought into this aceoutit. We
•have, then, the above items to bear tbe expenses
••f the aaperstruotare of five and half inllas, and
iron for two and a half miles, which, I am per
suadMl, will enable .is to roach l'nion Springs
with little or no indebtedness, pruvidel our sub
scrihers and friends will pay their stibacrlpfion
with a reasonable degree of promptitude.
The board has m*PJf anufflMfti’Uh | < cns the
rivet and ewnnest vrill the Aftiscogc. Road. We
have received letters front Mr Cuyler and Mr.
Rndelfordboth, that our bonds for lorty thousand
dollars, cirdorscd by the Central Hall Road and
Hanking Company, have (/ heel*engaged at pc,
payablrt at fen year# at eight por cent, interest
I mini annually. We have loam auMioiircd by Mr.
i Hwdclford to draw oil him at sight (or 9 1 o,UU*, on
I Hccotiut of that amount engaged mid taken by
! him. We therefore have funds to go on with the
j bridge, and are mow using diligent** in its con
itrvretiaa.
Ww have not yet received the maps Irom llc
general land o(nw, desigtialiug our public lands,
but we believe that they amount to more Mwiu 41 v
hundred tboiisund m-ros, wbich, with the sub
scription#, tbal wa have had as#nranee* will he
inado ihroiigb Hike. Covington, Duller god Oou
eeuli, will enable ns to reach Mobile Hay, near
lilakoly. 1 have, a few weeks ago. proposed to
the President nod Directors of the Ureal Northern
Hnnfl.ihntlf Unit Company pill build upon its own
charter, upon our Hue, from the mouth of. Murder
Creek to Uliikelv, or near it,, crossing Tensaw,
Bpanih and Mobile Rivers, into .Mobile, that
this Company will divide the public land with
them, ih proportion to dittMice. computing the
whole distance from Columbus to Mobile.
The Company is now engaged in making its
surveys avroiisthe marsh and rivers, and I believe
that they will accept the proposition. If it due*
not, we are still independent, as we kaVf plenty of
public lands on the line frotu Murder Creek to
Hiakely, to build Mte road to the latter point,
which we caiiuol use. unless the road*is built.—
Tbi- arrangement will enable us to reach both
Hensoc'da ami Mobile, as we have ouly one
hundred and seventeen miles froftt Union Springs
to the Montgomery and Hensaoola road, over u
very favorable surface on the valley of tlie Cone
cuh river.
Thera is some diffaranee of opinion in regard (o
the extension of the road beyond liiiiou springs.
lam a sternly od*|cato fov completing the whole
line to Pensacola ami Mobile: but there cannot
be any reason fairly find candidly urged against
extending the road at least fifty utiles beyond the
."springs, as U ran *>e effeoted with out* fourth of
the cost per mile. Hange rail, which the toad lias
coat fruui Mirwrd to Cbttnnenuggee Ridge, and
from my knowledge of the country through which
it traverses, it will more Mum double the I'tieght
.uni pa-sage winch wc now have, or will have
whan reach tU#Springs, lfl am correct in
this proposition, the x Wall holder* must be bene
fitted by the extension: the (teopla on the line ac
commodated with facilities which they do not
now enjoy, and the commerce of Columbus will
lu largely augmented. If tbe itooklioldcr* choose
to stop the road short of Pensacola or Middle,
the}’ will lie in abundant lime to arrest its pro
gress alter we have reached titty utile# hey olid
1 nii.ii Springs: moreover, in the extension of
fifty mile#, we -hall la* aided by the public lands,
wbich wc cannot appropriate unless we carry the
road into them.
All of which is respoctfully submitted/

the speaker.

who raises hi* hands in half horror at the idea of
enslaving those whom Hod intended to l*v sluvaa,
hut, like ustatesman, who thought the atttyect
worthy the study ami mvoatigatiou id an en

not commit himself to the iinportaiiou us more

laws upon tbo Ktatillv Hook
The quest ion of protection to slave property in
the territories had tbuud an early defender iu Mr.
Stephens, when the large majority of the Demo

parades with a good deal of gusto, a aeries of
resolutions passed by a Whig Convention in IS4-4,
m which Mr. Crawford was a mom her of the
Committee that reported them, taking ground
against the annexation of Texas, if war was to
follow, but advocating it, as a imaceable measure.
Mr. Judge, tb© candidate for Congrein on th*
Opposition ticket in the Ad Congressional Dis
trict of Alabama, is pressed to the wall for u
vole given hy himself in the Alabama Legislature
against the annexation of Texas, and the Ewfuir
er thus bring# forward Mr. Crawford with a view
of destroying the effort of Mr. Clopton’s blows
against Mr. Judge on this point. Mr Judge aays
he was young when he ©oat that vole, but claims
, u apology on that ground, tail defentln bit vote,
nnd says that he wa * right. The Enquirer, re
posing confidence iu our patriotism and integrity
•lte# not doubt that w© will repudiate Mr. Craw
ford for his position in 1*44, orexensc Mr. Judge.
<ter©'/temporary rghtly judges us. We should
hesitate to defend a uiuu for hit rote against he
annexation of Texas, though bo should fight un
der the Democratic -taudurd. And, if Mr. Craw
ford, lik© Mr. Judge, defended sueh a position,
the xtia’ kl©- of parly drill would never permit us
to throw up our hats, shout huzzas, and ap
plaud every sentiment he uttered, merely be
cause it was from the mouth-piece of the party.—>
We would *r. that in uppoaing tb© **• vs
Texas, Mr. Crawford was trrouq, and if the wis
dom ol experience did nt teach him to repudiate
*il©h a position, that we could not defend it !
That Texas should have come into tbe Union !
Thai it was a wi#e measure ! That no iuau was
entitled to credit for opposing tb© admission mto
tite Uuion of sueh a fire-eating State. Hut we
Hre authorised to say that Mr. Crawford will nor
defend any position he may have taken in 1941,
which commits bun in auy way to tbe position
held by Mr. Judge. If he ever opposed tbe an
nexation of Texas, he repudiates it. like a man,
who seeing tlie error of his ways, turns therefrom.
Having token ouc step in the fund to political
ruin, he has the marline#*, integrity aud purity

iu which he attacked the National Democracy,

told a tew anecdotes which u.cf with appiausa

never said once what were the principles of the

query, “where lies the safety of the South.” We
