Wertncsday, March 27, 1572.
Macon cV Knoxville It. It.
By reference to the letter from
Col do Graflenried, which we pub
lish this week, it will he seen that
arrangements have lieen perfected
for the building of this Railroad,
from Macon to the State line. The
contract lias already signed
up, and William 13. Johnston, one
of the leading financiers of Geor
gia, vouches for the reliability ol
the company who have taken the
contract, and to their ability to
carry it out. Agents of the com
pany will in a short time visit the
counties along the line to secure
the right of way. This looks like
business—and we are confident
our people will be rejoiced to know
that there is a good prospect of a
speedy completion of this great
enterprise.
In relation to the light of way,
Gwinnett county has heretofore,
by a public meeting of the citizens,
pledged the right of way through
the country free of cost to the
Hoad. We have never apprehen
ded any difficulty on this question ;
this count}’ is alive to the impor
tance of this Road, and it is im
material to them who builds it.
Every practical man knows that
the county through which the
road will pass is not able to con
struct it, without assistance, and
we will welcome any Company, no
matter whether the capital comes
from Europe or the North, who
can give us assurance that the
Road will lie built, even to the
Chattahoochee or the State line*.
If this company can consolidate
with the Cincinnati and Great
Southern Railroad Company, and
make this the great through line
to the West, connecting the Geor
gia sea ports with the grain grow
ing sections of the North-west,
there will certainly be no road in
the South which will be a better
paying investment.
We published last week a call
for a meeting of the corporators
under the charter granted by the
last Legislature to another com
pany over this line. They are to
meet in Covington, on the 27th
instant, for the purpose of organ
izing. We believe under the pro
visions of the act incorporating
tin's company that the company
which begins operations first will
be entitled to control the line.—
We have been informed by some
of the corporators under the last
charter, that they do not desire to
embarrass the efforts of the first
company, if there is » probability
of the Road being built by that
company.
We have no doubt this is the
feeling of nim -tenths of the cor
porators. And we hope that nei
ther company will act the part of
the “dog in the manger,” nebher
build the Road themselves, nor
let anybody else do it. Now that
there is a good prospect of the
success of the enterprise, let us
all put our shoulders to the wheel
and aid it along by every means
in our power.
Rev. I)k. Lovick Pierce. —Thu
Southern Christian Advocate, of
the 20th instant, says :
Wc have enjoyed the pleasure,
(lining ti.e past week, of a visit
from this venerable patriarch, hut
have been saddeud l»y the eviden
ces of his increasing feebleness
A severe cold, contracted early in
the winter, has obstinately refused
to yield to remedies, and continues
to be a heavy drain upon his
strength. The perishing of the
outward man, however, seems pow
erless to impair the vigor of his
mind, which, whether in pulpit
discussions, or private conversa
tion, continues to evince its accus
tomed acuteness and strength.
Though the tlesh is weak,his indom
itable spirit is busy in projecting
plans of labor in the Lord’s vine
yard ; and somehow or other, he
strangely succeeds in accomplish
ing what he lays out for himself.
On Sunday,^the 24th of March,
Dr. Pierce will be eighty years
old ; upon which day he proposes
to preach an anniversary sermon
in the town of Greensboro, Geor
gia—the scene of his early labors,
and the birthplace of all his chil
dren.

Macs, Ga , March 10, 1872.
Mr. T. M. ret^e*:
Mv Peak Sir —1 am glad to say,
that in my opinion, onr Road is
now no longer in doubt as to its
completion, and at an early day.
Dr. Stroliecker and myself re
turned last night lronr New York,
whither we had gone in the infer
est of the Company, and while
there succeeded in making a con
tract fur the whole Hue of Road,
from Macon to the State line. The
parties who undertake the business
are responsible persons, well and
favorably known in the financial
world.
Tbe first step to be done is to
secure the right of way, and after
that has been obtained, the loca
tion of the whole line surveyed to
the Chattahoochee will be made,
and the work of grading, etc., com
menccd. It would be well I think
for you, and other friends of the
enterprise, to call a county meet
ing, and guarantee the right of
way.
The hoard of Directors is to be
enlarged, and Directors chosen
from counties through which the
Hoad shall pass.
The movement for organization
under the Simmons Charter will
not check our work, though it may
embarrass it.
I shall, in the course of the next
two weeks, visit your place, and I
will ho glad to give all the details
of our contract.
she parties who take onr Road
are in the Cincinnati and Southern
Road, and it is proposed to put the
whole line, from Cincinnati to
Macon, under one organization.
We shall, from time to time,
confer with you. I enclose our
paper containing notices, which
you can publish.
1 will write again, on rny return
from Savannah, and give yon no
tice of the day I propose to visit
Lawrelicevillc, so that I may not
tail to meet you. Very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
Wm. K. dkGuaffenkiicd.
For the Gwinnett Herald.
Alone in the World.
“Alote ] wander in the walks of men,
Alike unknowing and unknown.”
“Few and evil have the days of
the years of my life been,’' said
the sire of Israel when had around
him, for tlits first time in years, all
he held dear on earth; and to
night as I sit by the stranger’s
fireside, with none to drop “the
sympathizing tear,’ his words arc
pertinent to my own cai-e. But
alas! none of the visions of that
happiness in re-union, which
doubtless flitted by on the wings
of tbe patriarch’s imagination,
come to cheer up the soul depres
sed by the bitterness of the past.
Far back in life’s vale I gathered
flowers on the green mounds of
earthly felicity; but later, few
verdant spots have appeared on
the rugged pathway; audio night
no star of hope shoots a glimmer
ing ray “athwart the gloom pro
found ;” no l>ow of promise spans
the dark vista of the unknown
years of my pilgrimage below;
and I can only pray for resigna
tion, and patience to wait for the
“life beyond the vale.”
True, 1 love the lowly Naza
reno, and gratefully, joyfully re
member his promise, “I will not
leave you comfortless.” True,
also. 1 love the “Christians” and
“faithfuls,” with whom I hope 1
am journeying to the celestial
city ; but tlie Almighty Father has
ordained other, earthly lies, sa
credly legitimate; and who can
lay anything to our charge if the
loneliness and void in our hearts
bereave us. Though our sorrows
arc blessings in disguise, and
augment the joys of religion, yet,
You cun never think, who have always
dwelt
With a cloudless sky above,
Wliat u dreary thing ’tis for one to live,
When the heart has none to love.
No one knows the nndefinablc
yearning of the lone wanderer on
| earth’s sterile plain, hut he whose
| lot in life is as his. No earthly
j home, where the nnsk of necessary
reserve may be laid oft'; where
! quiet rest from life’s battle may
| be found, and loved ones share
and soothe bis sorrors, calls him
from the walks of men; but the
cry of hia heart is ever ’•[ am a
stranger in the earth.” Can you
wonder then, dear reader, while
you gather with your loved ones
around your hearth stone, that the
stranger who seeks a resting place
beneath your roof, for the time, is
sometimes gloomily reticent. Ohl
rattier remember that perchance
heart-wounds are bleeding afresh,
as the scene before him reminds
him of brighter and better days,
now buried with the dead past,
forgive his silence, treat him kind
ly, and endeavor to cheer him, and
make him feel that though
‘‘Kunming alone through this world's
wilderness,”
there are hearts and homes in
which a place may be found for
him who is ‘‘Alone in the world.”

London, Mitrth 17.—The London

of the Cabinet yesterday the
American reply to Lord Gran

Further from the Robeson j
Outlaws-The Herald Cor
respondent a Prisoner.
When the train passed Moss!
Neck, on the Wilmington, Char
lotte and Rutherford Railroad yes- j
terday, Stephen Lowery and An I
drew Strong, two of the Robeson
outlaws, appeared at the depot,
each armed with a Winchester
rifle and four Cult’s navy revol
vers in their belts. Willi them
was the latest Herald correspon
dent, A. B. Henderson, a true Bo
hemian, who repotted himseli as a
prisoner to the outlaws. Hender
son had slung across his shoulders
a long backwoods rifle, belonging
to one of the outlaws, and was
escorted wherever lie went by
Stephen Lowery ami Andrew
Strong. He remarked privately
that he was still determined to in
terview' Henry Berry Lowery, if
to be found in those parts; but
als’ stated that from all accounts
it seemed that he had flown the
country ; not one word, however,
hud he been able to obtain of the
whereabouts of the chief leader
of the gang from those who had
them in custody. They insist,
though, in declaring Boss Strong
not dead, but badly wounded.
This Bohemian, Henderson, is
heavy on the sensational, as will
appear from the following dis
patch to the New York Herald,
which was handed to the conduc
tor by one of the outlaws to for
ward to its destination, but which
was no doubt written by Hender
son himself. It is as follows :
\Yo have captured your corres
pondent, A. B. Henderson ; will
not hurt him, but will keep him a
week. Boss is not dead.

Witness: A. B. Henderson.
Henderson also sent tne follow
ing dispatches regarding himself
to his wife and a ministerial friend,
which were duly forwarded with
the foregoing by Capt. Morrison,
the conductor:
Mrs. A. II flenderson, Lock Ha
ven, Penn. —l am with the Low
erys, perfectly safe.
A. B. Henderson.
Rev. S. S. Shed dan, Rahway,
N. J. —! am in no danger whatever
A. B. Henderson.
Tlie whole a (Tail is in the true
Bohemian fashion. Henderson is
determined to kick up a sensation
while be is at it. Ho may gain
much information from the outlaws,
and lie may lose his head. It* is
emphatically a toss up —“heads
and tails.” lie deserves some
thing, however, for his very bold
ness. We look for further devel
opments with interest. Notwith
standing the assertion of the out
laws, we believe Burs Strong dead ;
and it is very probable that Henry
Berry Lowery has left the country.

Savannah, March 22. —Important
railroad matters are transpiring
here. At a meeting of the directors
of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad the
proposition of certain parties to lease
the road for ten years was rejected,
consequently six directors represent
ing the Savannah interest resigned.
At the last annual meeting the stock
holders a proposal was made to lease
the road and extend it to its original
terminus —Mobile.
The Central Railroad has pur
chased a controlling interest in the
steamships belonging to the several
lines plying between this city and
Northern ports. The effect of this
arrangement will give to the com
pany an opportunity of regulating
freights.
