Gw innett Herald. LAWK ENCEmLiTGAT 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. Tho Western Union Telegraph Company has ordered that ten cents a word be added to each message sent from Columbus, because the City Council increased tlie taxes. Col D. I). Hardaway has been ap pointed poet master at Thotnaslon. 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.” Laxertnceville, Ga., Mar. 4, 1872. ■ ■ • ■ S » WK* A newspaper advertisement calls for a plain cook able to dress a little boy five years old.

Samuel Barnett, Secretary. • London, Mitrth 17.—The London Observer says ihat at the meeting of the Cabinet yesterday the American reply to Lord Gran ville’s note was read and discus sed. It produced a favorable im pression, and was tegarded as fur nishing an opening for for further negotiations on the basis of ar rangements provided by the treaty of Washington. 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. his Steprkn x Lowery. mark his Andrew x Strong. mark. 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.

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. Gen. Pillow, the ex-Confederaie, is spoken of sot Gov of Tennessee. An Act.
