Moiiiiii'i'ii ttnitronil Meeting t» Cincin

In the Cincinnati Gazette of tho 10th,
Wo find an Interesting report of the pro
ceedings of a railroad meeting held In that
city on the 6th Inst., to take into consider
ation the contemplated connection of Cin
cinnati by rail with Chattanooga or soino
other point South. Delegates wore pres
ent from various portions of Kentucky
hnd TeniieBseo; nnd our own Stato was
represented by Gov. Bullock and Col. K.
Hulbert, both of whom addressed tha
meeting In somo vory sonsiblo remarks,
which wo glvo below. Tho State of Geor
gia is deeply interested in this proposed
sir-lino road to the great metropolis of tho
West, as It will, should tho road termtn-
nato either at Chattanooga or Knoxville,

the Atlanta Intelligencer that Col. IIul-
bert’s "exposition of tho ‘railway system

Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, was first call
ed upon. He said ho was not hero so much
to recommend any particular route, ns to
show tho deep feeling his peoplo had lure-
gnrd to n direct connection with Cincin
nati, nnd tho desirableness of a closeu rail
road connection with the North nnd IVcst.
lie said the State of Georgia had built tho
lino from Atlanta to Chattanooga, con
necting themselves with the railroads in
Tennessee, and thought it would be to the
interests of Cincinnati nml tho Slate of
Ohio to aid in tho improvement of the sys
tem already in operation.
"With regard to the route,” ho said,
“ we would only suggest that the goutle-
meu of tho committee would examine
carefully, by aid of tho best mans, the
railroads already In operation, or for the
completion of which provision has been
made. Wo are satisfied that tho careftil
examination of tho chief railroads which
have been built in connection with the
roads from this city, East, North and
West, will show that, bv the construction
of a line of trunk road between Cincinna
ti and Chnttanoogn, a direct connection
may be made for your commerce, which is
now forced to go by a roundabout route
between these cities. We, therefore, from
our own examination, bclievo that this is
the best point, and we do not recommend
it without asking Hint tho gentlemen will
lursue the same course of examination
jy which wo linve arrived at our conclu
sions.

Another season’s good crops in that sec

Commercial (Radical organ.)
There is a great deal of truth uttered in
the above paragraph; and yet tho Com
mercial and all the other Radical organs
North, together with the whole Radical
party of that scctiou, are doing nil they
possibly can to cripple the energies of tho
South by vilifying, slandering and misrep
resenting her people—by charging them
with the killing of every negro, carpet
bagger nnd scalawag, that happen to die
by violence. They profess to look to tho
South as the only hope of tho nntiou from
bankruptcy—the “good crops” of this fer
tile section they say will do more toward
placing the country in a “condition to re
sumo specie payments titan all the tliei
ries of politicians’’—aud yet they continue
their interminable and relentless warfare
upon tho very people nnd section from
which they expect so much. They send
carpet-baggers down here to fill our otllces
and sow seeds of discord among tho negro
population, thus making them Useless as
laborers, and rendering every plan of in
dustry inaugurated by our people unnvali 1
iug. How despicably mean—how lost to

they have, by their seoundrellsm, jeopar
dized: the nation’s credit and prosperity.
Tho South is unquestionably an im
portant component part of tho Govern
ment, and much, yea almost everything,
of the nation’s prosperity depends upon
her. The country’s chief hope reposes
not only in the “good crops” of the South
" but in her general prosperity—no where
else can it find security from bankruptcy
nnd ruin; and if'the Northern Radicals,
in the languuue of the Louisville Courier-
Journal, were guided by wisdom and pru
dence, if they permitted their course tube
regulated'even by an enlightened self-
interest. they would, instead of seeking to

cherish them as the country’s best and

.A Cood Hit I
A Georgia “loll" paper, says tho N. Y.
World, conveys the melancholy^intelli
gence of "continued outrages by prowling
bands of Ku-klux on Republicans, both
black nnd white,” nnd adds: “To bo an
avowed Republican In this country is a
sure passport to death or violent outrage. ”
Which reminds us, ns tho late Sir. Lin
coln would say, of tho little story about a
Londoner who went to Dr. Aberucthy
with “Oh! doctor, whenever I raise my
arm in this w’ay it nearly kills mo.” To
which tho blunt doctor replied, "Well,
wlmt a d— fool you must bo to do it, thou.”
In like manner, where it is sure dealii to
bd'an “avowed Republican," we should
suppose that people pf ordinary common

of road from Savannah to Dalton, in
Georgia.
Wo lmvo extended a line which runs
through the South from Atlanta to Macon,
thence to Thomasvillo, which would make
an air line connection. This Is on the pro
posed routo from Cincinnati, which would
also lie a direct air lino route. Colonel
Hulbert. the Superintendent of our Stato
ltuilrond, is fully inforinod of the route
n-oposed, and is advised as to tho connec-
ion which it is conceived desirable to
make. Col. Gaw, the Chief Engineer of
tho Atln'ntlc & Western road, is also frilly
informed of tho Service and advantage of
the proposed line.
"The disposition of tho people of our
State is to aid, as far ns they can, in mak
ing a railroad connection with tho people
of tlie North and West, and to do every
thing to nid the system of internal im
provement by which they can procure an

'RAILWAY BYSTEM OF TIIE SOUTH.
Col. E. Hulbert, Superintendent of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta, was announced ns th
next speaker. lie called attention to lb
fact that Chattanooga was tho northern
central point of tho great system of South
ern railways.
Chattanooga stands in the lower Cum
berland Gap, tho great water gap through
which tho river passes; tho great railroad
lines from the Atlantic coast, from the
Gulf of Mexico, front tho direction of N ew
Orleans, all verge to that common point.
They converge there, ns explained by Col.
Gnw, from, absolute necessity occasioned
by tho conformation of the country. They
could not lmvo been built otherwise.
The first great trunk is tho Western &
Atlantic, front Chattanooga to Atlanta,
138 miles in length, with an income of 81,-
250,000, connecting at Atlanta with the
Georgia road, from Atlanta to Augusta,
Ga., 171 miles, with an income of 81,500,-
000; connecting also with tho South Caro
lina-Railroad, from Augusta to Charles
ton, and branch to Columbia, S. O., 205
miles,'“with an income of about 81,250,000,
nnd with tho Wilmington & Manchester
road, Kingvillo to Wilmington, N. C., 171
miles, with an income exceeding half a
million dollars.
Returning to Atlanta, asastnrtingpoint,
we lmvo thence to Macon, Ga„ the Macon
& Western Road, 103 miles, with an income
of about §400,000 per annum; connecting
with the Southwestern Railway toEufaula,
Ala., 142 miles, with branches to Fort
Gaines and Albany, Ga., 51 miles, a total
of 104 miles of tho Southwestern road and
branches, with an income of over 8800,000
per annum.
Returning to Macon, we lmvo the road
from Macon to Savannah. Ga., by tho Cen
tral road, with Its branches to Mllledge-
ville nnd Augusta, Ga., 288 miles, with an
income of $1,500,000; also tho Atlantic &
Gulf road—Savannah to Balnbridgo, Ga.,
230 miles, with a side lino of 40 miles, con
necting with tho entire railway system of
Florida; total enrning exceeding ono upl
and pn tho west With the Selma & Meri
dian road, 107 miles, which in turn con
nects with VIcksburg&McrkllunHullroad,
to Ateksburg, Mias., 140 miles, )icuetrat-
Ing tho heart of tho cotton region of central
Alabama and Mississippi.
Tho third great trunk lino was tho Ala
bama & Chattanooga, from Chattanooga
to Meridian. 275 miles, through tho Wills
Valley, via Elyton and Tuscaloosa. Tho
Wills Vallov is particularly rich in coni
and iron, The mountains on either sldo
for a distance along the route of 00 miles,
uralUiqdwtththesemlnomls. Inconslruct-
Ing this road cuts were frequently madu
through iron. In some Instances embank
ments were made of iron ore taken from
the excayntions. This road then passes
hroilglt the Black Warrior coal field, om-
u-aclngfi'om 5,00(1 to 7,0011 square miles,
with iron nnd coal lying side by side.
It is now in process of rapid construc
tion, the work progressing on each end.—
About fifty miles are already completed.
Arrangements nre iflso being ;>crfected far
Its continuance from Meridian to New Or
leans, about too miles, making this, via
Chattanooga & Cincinnati, thu shortest
lino from New Orleans to tho northern
railroads, and connecting at New Orleans
with tile system of Texas roads.
The fourth great lino ft'om Chattanooga
Is that from Montgomery to Decatur, Al
abama, about 185 miles, thenee, by tho
Memphis & Charleston road, to Chatta
nooga. Tho former is under contract iu
the hands of responsible parties, to be coin-
deted within two years. Tims, you lmvo
wo great trunk lines, penetrating Ala
bama to thu Gulf—one through tho heart
of the cotton region—the other ponetrut-
Ing the great coal .and iron regions of the
Suite.
The fifth great trank lino Is that of tho
Memphis & Charleston Railroad, from
Chtltutnoogn due west to Memphis, on the
banks of the Mississippi, 30!) miles, with
an income exceeding $1,500,000 per an
num.
In addition to these five trunk lines,
there nre tha Nashville & Chattanooga,
151 miles, and tho East Tennessee & Geor
gia, 112 miles, Chattanooga to Knoxville,
making seven grand trunk lines centering
at Chattanooga, amounting, in tiro aggre
gate, to over 11,500 miles of road in nctual
operation, besides COO miles In process of
construction.
Colonel Hulbert, after this careful and
valuable exposition of the system of South
ern Railway’, closed with the fallowing re
flections:
‘‘Chattanooga being the northern center
ofthe great railroad system of tho South,
nnd Cincinnati being tho center of the
Southern line of the great railway system
between the Rocky Mountains and the
coast—with tho completion of this propos
ed Southern road, Cincinnati will com
mand the entire trade of tho Gulf of Mex
ico, almost tha entire cotton trado of the
South. Timo wns.when cotton was mov
ed mainly by water. That time has pass
ed. The commodity is too valuable.—
Steamer's and sail vessolskiro too slow.—
Three-fourths of the cotton crop, since the
war, hns been moved by rail, although
tho difiluulties in the way are now.great,
having to ship by roundabout routes. In
conscquonco of this, far threo years, the
shipment of our cotton crop hns beun de
layed, and our planting interests have
suffered. We feel the necessity of a great
railway connection with the Northern rail
way system.
S'Chattanooga is nearly on an air line to
Pensacola; nnd from there it is only eigh
teen hours! run to Havana. With such a
grand rlmroud qjMMi<MMi€lnciunnti
ought to control the sugar trade. (£hcers. ]
And not only this, but the South Ameri
can trade immediately south of tho Gulf,
and especially the coffee .trade of Brazil.
[Renewed cheers.).
“There is no railroad pro|eet onHiis
continent so important to the great inter
ests ofthe country at luree as this (tingle
line. Cincinnatians it in lief power, with
in ten years, to command the trade of the
Gulf of Mexijjoj almost the eutire trado of
tho cotton States, and tho trado of South
America. It rests with you to say wheth
er you will possess yourselves of this priv
ilege or not.

The Cuvcritmcut Already Devolution,
izetl.
The Constitutional Union, published at
Washington, maintains Hint tile people of
the United States have already passed un
der tho yoke of a new and arbitrary gov
ernment. It says iu tho commencement
of a long anil ipurgent article:
It is a gravo and startling thing to know
that tho present government of tho U nited
States is ono unknown to the constitution
and never designed by the People. It is a
government created during and since the
war by the Radical Leaders. It consists
substantially of a closed Caucus controlled
by those Leaders. It is, consequently, real
Oligarchy.
The so-called President of this concern,
by signing tho tenurc-of-oflicc act, the re
sult of a conspiracy between tlie two
Houses of Congress to test his fealty to
them, has virtually abandoned the otfico
described ill thu constitution as a co-ordi-
nnto aud independent department of the
government ofthe United StatdS, nnd sur
rendered to the oligarchs the cxecuiivo
powers lodged in his hands by tlie People.
And the Supreme Court, by dismissing
tho appeal, in tlie McArdlo case, has also
subserviently placed itself at the feet of
the usurpers. It cannot bo denied that
this Court, the chief tribuual of the Judi
ciary Department, heretofore always sup
posed to he a separate, distinct, and inde

An exchange says: “Years ago a Penn

a fit of drunken insanity and fled to the
West, supposing himself a murderer.—
The woman recovered, nnd after five years
of solitary life, married again. Her sec
ond husband died in a few months, and
sho also went West. There she met a
prosperous and wealthy merchant, was
wooed and wedded; and upon disrobing in
tho bridal chamber tho bridegroom saw
upon her neck the sear of tho wound he
himself hnd made, and recognized his wife
of years befare.”
