Kail mud Mooting— President
de G ratten ried Addresses
the Citizens of Lawrence
ville.
On last Thursday, according to
appointment, Col. de Graffenried.
President of the Oemulgee and
North Georgia Railroad, and Dr.
Strohecker, the Secretary and
Treasurer, visited our town in the
interest of this enterprise. There
were a number of the citizens ol
the county in town, drawn there
by the announcement that a meet
ing would be bold that day. The
meeting convened atCnlvcr’s Hall,
and Col. de GrafTcnried addressed
the people for an hour and a half.
The proceedings of the meeting
will be found in another Column.
The President, in his address,
made no effort at rhetorical display,
but gave us simply a plain, practi
cal, earnest talk upon the objects to
be accomplished and prospects of
success of this enterprise After
giving a history of the origin and
progress, and the difllculties which
had presented themselves hereto
fore in this great work, he gave a
detailed and very encouraging
statement ol the contract which
had been entered into with a
responsible and reliable company
in New York, who propose push
ing the work through to com
pletion, without delay. By the
terms of the contract, it is only
expected that there shall be raised
in Georgia five hundred thousand
dollars by subscription, the North
ern company agreeii g to furnish
the entiie remainder of the six or
seven million, which it is estimated
it will cost to complete it, with
the aid of the State endorsement
heretofore guaranteed. It is fur
ther stipulated that the Georgia
stockholders shall have the right
to select four of the board of direc
tors, giving to tbe company who
furnish the means the right to
nominate five. The permanent lo
cation of the route to this point,
and perhaps to the Air-Line Rail
road, will begin in the course of
two or three months, and the work
is to he begun by the first of Octo
ber, although the speaker expres
sed the opinion that the grading
might not commence before tbe
first of January.
In relation to tbe direction which
the Road will take from Lawrence*
vide, the Colonel stated that that
would depend largely upon where
the engineers determined was the
best point to cross the Blue Ridge.
When that point was determined,
the nearest practicable route to
that gap would be tbe route pre-
ferred. His present opinion is,
that the Road will run by the way
of Gumming, and from there di.
reotly to Amicalolah Gap, which
is known on the map as Amica
lolah Falls, fiom there down the
valley of the Ilia wassee by the
Duck town copper mines. This
iniu ng company offer to take seven
hundred and lift}' thousand dollars
stock in the road, if it is built so
as to be accessible to their works.
The speaker earnestly appealed to
our people, and especially to cor
porators of the rival company,
chartered by the last Legislature,
a number of whom were present,
to take no action which might
jeopardize the sncces of the work
He stated that capitalists North
were timid about investing their
money in Southern Railroads, and
especially was this true when they
were likely to come in conflict
with local companies. And he
urged upon all true Iriends of the
Road to wait, take no action for a
few months, at leant, and give his
company an opportunity to de
monstrate that they were in earnest
in their effort to develop a section
of Georgia which has nut be*»u prop
erly appreciated heretofore. We :
think thia request is reasonable, j
in view of the fact that they were
the first to briug this route into,
notice, and are moving as rapidly
as could be expected in an enter-1
prise of this magnitude.
It would be impossible for us, j
in reasonable limits, to give any
thing like an extended report of
tbo speech. After the Colonel
finished his speech, he stated to j
the audience, that he would gladly
answer any question which might
be propounded, in order that they
might have the fullest information
desired. In answer to questions,
he stated that it was untrue that
the charter had ever been offered
for sale. That the reason the re
port made by the agents of the
Chicago company had not been
published was, that it whs false.
It misrepresented the country, the
people along the line and the esti
mated cost of the Road. In an
swer to a question, he stated, that
the Central Railroad had no con
trol over the company, and would
have none over the Road, but that
that corporation was friendly to
its construction, because it would
be a feeder to the Central and
South-western Roads, and read a
certified copy of a resolution pas
sed by the board of directors of
that Road at Savannah, to that
effect. lie farther stated, that lie
had flattering ccouragemcnt and
promise of material aid from
prominent capitalists, shippers
and business men of Savannah,
who realize the importance of Ibis
connection to the prosperity, and
especially to the shipping interest
of Georgia’s great sea port.
The President and Secretary are
very sanguine of success, unless
some unforeseen difficulty shall
intervene. This is a gigantic en
terprise—one which we fear the
people of Macon do not fully
appreciate. When completed, it
will be like the State Road, a
great artery pouring the wealth
iof the wonderful West into the
j lap of our grand old State. Let
1 us have no strife over who shall
j build it, but let the contest be as
to who shall do most towards its
completion, and in developing the
hidden wealth of the mountain
counties. Col. de Graffenried did
not have time to visit the counties
beyond the Chattahoochee, but
expsets to visit us again, perhaps
in June, when he will go to For
syth and Dawson.
JtdT The Li bcral Republicans
hid a great gathering in New
York last week, preparatory to
sending delegates to the Cinciu
uati Convention. The proceed
ings are too long for ns to attempt
to publish them, but we give be
low a short description of the
speeches of Senators Trumbull
and Sehurz. The breach between
the two wings of the Republican
party is daily increasing :
‘ Senator Trumbull was next in
troduced, and was received with
tumultuous cheering, which, how
ever, was surpassed by the enthu
siastic applause from all sides
when Horace Greeley appeared on
the platform and took a seat near
the speaker’s stand. Mr. Trumbull
spoke with great energy and tire,
and not only electrotied, but also
instructed his audience by his elo
quence. His assaults on the cen
tralizing tendencies of the present
administration were hailed with
indignant cheers, and he astonish
ed his hearers by showing them
the despotism which threatens the
safety of the republic. He upheld,
in unqualified language, the true
democratic doctrine of State
rights, and while denouncing the
rebels as traitors, ho yet said they
were never thieves. He wanted
his audience against the dangers
of a centralized authority, which
1 has already established in differ
ent States of the Union tribunals
for the adjudication oi the prop
erty and lives of the people, suit
ject to its own control, and said
this power was in great danger of
abuse.
“Senator Scliuiz next took the
stand, and received a similar over
whelming ovation to that of Truin
! bull’s. As the lion of the occasion
and leading light of the reform
movement, bis speech was eagerly
anticipated, and attracted many
persons expressly to hear it. He
spoke calmly and yet earnestly,
using very full notes, aud his
manner was not full of fire aud
fury, signifying nothing, but clear,
logical and convincing, and his
I dispassionate arguments did not
carry away the feelings of his
audience, but they appealed to
j their reason and held their atten
! tion closely. His voice rang loud
and clear through the vaulted hall
and throughout the packed, yet
silent throng, like the notes of a
clarion. The audience seemed spell
bound, and only at intervals re
covered themselves sufficiently to
applaud. This, however, they did
repeatedly, and with vigor, show
ing that the eloquence of the ora
tor was fully appreciated. Each
word was received with attention,
and every strong point made
against tlie administration was
fully appreciated. As to the speech
itself, we can only refer to the re
port annexed, which can alone do
justice to its acumen, profundity,
close reasoning, wit, and other
admirable qualities.”
A Grant mass meeting is called
at the Cooper Institute next Fri
! day.
Specimens Wanted.
We are requested by Colonel
de Graffenried to solicit our sub
scribers in the'counties of Forsyth
and Dawson, along the line of the
contemplated railroad, to send to
him, at Macon, Ga , specimens of
iron and copper ore, marble, coal,
etc., to be exhibited to capitalists*
in New York. We have been in
formed, by reliable and scientific
men, that the counties of Forsyth,
Dawpon, Lumpkin, Gilmer, Pick
eng and Fannin abound in ores,
marble and coal in sufficient quan
tities to furnish transportation for
an hundred years for a railroad
Colonel de Graffenried proposes,
at his own expense, to transport
these specimens to New York, and
thus bring this section, rich in
mineral resources, to the notice
of capitalists. Nature has pr Ailed
the mountain counties of Georgia
with a source of wealth, if it was
only developed, compared with
which your crops and herds would
be as chaff.

Lawbkscbvim.k. April 18, 1 872.
Pursuant to public notice, Col.
Win. K. de Graffenried, President,
and Dr. Edward L. Strohecker,
Secretary, of the Ocmulgec and
North Georgia Railroad Coupany,
met a respectable number of the
prominent citizens of Gwinnett
county this day, for the purpose
of imparting to them all the infor
mation in their possession in refer
ence to this great enterprise.
On motion, Dr. A. J. Shaffer
was called to the Chair, and M. L.
Gordon requested to act as Sec
retary.
Cjipt. T M. Peeples, in a few
remarks, introduced Col. de Graf
fenried to the audience, who, in a
plain, practical, and business like
manner proceeded to give a clear
and suecint account of the pro
gress of this great work, from its
inception up to the present time,
lie also gave a detailed account of
the difficulties and obstacles cn
Countered in negotiating for the
construction of the Road. These
had, however, all been successfully
met and overcome, and the present
status of the enterprise was very
encouraging. A contiacthad been
made and entered into with prom
inent N-w York bankers and capi
talists for the construction of the
entire line of the Road, so soon as
deeds to the right of way—so far
as sun eyed—had bebn obtained,
and other preliminaries had been
perfected.
Col de Graffenried gave a full
history of this contract, and of the
ability, reliability and good faith
of the contractors.
An animated but friendly - cotlo
quy occurred between Col. tie Graf
fenried and Maj. Wm. E. Simmons,
the author of the new charter of
the Macon and Knoxville Railroad,
which resulted In mutual informa
tion and explanations.
Col de Graffenried’s address was
earnest and practical, evincing a
deep interest in the work, and a
determination (i! he should receive
encouragement and assistance
from those interested in the Road)
to carry it forward to a complete
success.
At the conclusion of the address
of Col. do Graffenried, Col. Sam.
J. \V inn offered the following res
olutions, which were unanimously
adopted :
Resolved, That we request the
meeting of the corporators of the
Macon and Knoxville Railroad,
(under the new charter) called to
meet in May next at Atlanta, be
postponed to await further devel
opments in reference to the pro
posed early construction of the
Road by the Ocmnlgee and North
Georgia Railroad Company.
Resolved, That we tender our
thanks to Col. W. K. de Graffen
ried, President of the Ocmulgee
and North Georgia Railroad Com
pany, for the satisfactory informa
tion imparted, aud for the assur
ance of the success of this great
enterprise; and we request our
citizens along the line of the pro
posed Road to grant the right of
way to said company.
On motion, the proceedings of
this meeting were ordered to be
published in the Gwinnett Herald,
and the Macon aud Covington pa
pers be requested to copy.
A. J. Shaffer, Pres’t.
M. L. Gordon, Sec’y.
Air-Line Railroad —Track lay
ing on this road is now progressing
East of Gainesville, and it is said
trains will be running to Jarrett’s
Bridge by the middle of July. On
the eastern end of the line, trains are
now running West from Charlotte
as far as the Catawba river—a dis
tance of twelve miles; and the work
of grading is going on briskly all
along the line. — Watchman.
Northeastern Railroad.- The en
gineers are busy “locating” prepar
atory to letting contracts on this
Road. We hope the work will be
speedily commenced and vigorously
prosecuted. The grading from this
place to the Poplar Spring gap is so
light that it ought to go forward
very rapidly.— Watchman.
Cummiso, Ga., April 11,1872.
Editor Gicinnctt Herald:—Pro
gress serins to be the watchword, in
all the departiuet t«,of life and busi
ness. While great and grand pro
ject* in canals, and long and impor
tant lines of railroads are attracting
the attention, and engaging the tal
ents and energy, of a gieal num- I
her of our thinking and wise men, j
and the all-important subject of edu
cation and the training of the rising
generation is receiving continually a
fresh impetus all over this Fair Sunny
South Land ; and all the best energy !
of the country is being directed to
the obliteration of the anarchy and
misrule that has cursed us for so long ,
a time ; and all the churches of the
various denominations seetn to be
moving on smoothly, the wolf breaks
in and scatters the sheep—and goats
too —or makes a tremendous effort
in that direction. The county of
Forsyth has been, for some time,
afflicted bv a kind of hybrid—Meth
odist, Baptist, Campbeliile, andgood
| ness knows what else —who opposes
j nil church organization, church ordi
nances and discipline and govern-
ment in whatever way imaginable—
as well as also all civil government —
has been preaching to, lecturing, or
teaching the “common people”—as
he terms them upon some of these
very important subjects; and has
created quite a sensation among a
few disaffected and nowhere else to go
people in this vicinity and county.
He is a very assaultive kind of fellow,
arrogant, and with all, a man ol fine
sense ; but evidently there is a screw
loose somewhere. In Lis lectures at
various places in the county, he has
had occasion to speak very slightly
of the town of Camming, and espe
cially of the ministers of all the de
nominations, and to make some very
arrogant challenges for any minister
in the State to meet him in debate
No notice was taken of him until he
made an appointment to lecture, on
yesterday evening,at the Court House,
and desired that everybody would
give him a hearing on that occa-ion,
and witness him give the “nasty
place” a complete “combing out,’’ and
“divest” it of its “filth,” sending at
the same time a challenge to any and
all the ministers to meet him. When
the time come for the show, arrange
ments had been made for him to be
met and signally vanquished, but
when the elephant got Lore, he was
non committal, in every particular.
| Did you ever hunt deer, Mr. Editor ?
If you have, you can imagine how
a fellow feels when he has his piece
leveled at a fine buck, and just before
he gets ready to pull the trigger the
buck w hips out of sight. The ani
mat, however, went through with his
part of the show, giving nobody any
chance to reply or take part in the
discussion, and immediately left the
place. This man, T. Castelle—alias
Samuel Castelle—alias Columbus
Castelle—hails from the State of In-
diana originally, I believe; was in
East Tennessee a part of last year /
came to Knoxville as a Campbel!i/e
preacher ; undertook to join the Bap
tists, and made application lor ordi
nation ; but when the test cam a, lie
held doctrines so heterodox, thatithe
committee of ministers appointed to
examine him reported adversely and
advised that, as he was a >tranga‘ man,
teaching strange doctrines, the people
ought to. have nothing to Jo with
him. He says his father was a Meth
odist prea her; that he was in his
youth a class leader.—
So, from all the evidence, he has
tried all the denominations-—or en
deavored to do so—and is now op
posed to all.
I understand that in Tennessee he
sowed discord in the churches to
such an extent that it was expedient
for him to seek a more congenial
dime.
Now, Mr. Editor, you have, in a
hurried manner, an outline of this
Uian’s character. I give it solely for
the purpose, that if other communi
ties are visile 1 by him, they may
have some knowledge of how to take
him. Philo.
Mean and Cowardly Persecution.
—The Charleston Courier of yester
day says: The Ku-Klux prisoners,
in passing from jail to the United
Slates Couit House daily, are fol
lowed by a crowd of very insolent
colored men, who pay no regard to
the officers who have them in charge,
and take advantage of every oppor
tunity to curse them in the most
degrading language, and we under
stand pelt brickbats at them, as was
the case yesterday.” The News of
the same date says: “The prisoners
were followed all the way up Broad
street by a crowd of colored men
and women, gathering ascessions
from every group oflonngersasembled
on the streets, and all hooting, yel
ling and hurling all manner of ob
scene and abusive epithets upon the
unfortunate prisoners. The small
guard of deputy marshals in charge
of the party made no attempt to
repress these unseemly demonstra
tions, and perhaps would have been
powerless to do so if they had been
inclined.”
The subjection of defenceless pri
soners to such treatment from a mob
of semi-barbarians is a disgrace to
the Federal authorities.
The London Post repeats the rumor
that Napoleon lias borrowed in London
the sum of £15,000,000. And M. Rouher
has left Paris for Chisoiburst. It is re
ported thut he took with him for the ex-
Emperor 3,000,000 fames. Is the violet
in blossom ?
Agricultural Scrip.
Editor Herald :—Your short edi
torial on this subject, in your last
issue, covers the whole-.ground.
Now, was Governor Smith com
pelled to act “at once, in order to
prevent the donation from being
forfeited ?” If not, then he has,
whether at the dictation of the j
Alumni ring or not, taken upon
himself the responsibility of giving |
direction to this important matte) - , 1
in a way that prevents the people
of the State from giving an expres
sion of opinion on the subject.
That it was a subject that occupied
the attention of the members of
the General Assembly, one they
were perplexing themselves to act
on, your worthy Representatives
are well aware of. They are now
left without a choice, and members
of the Agricultural Convention,
who have spent so much time in
discussing the subject, have done
so to no purpose. There is no
excuse for the hasty action of the
Governor in this matter. lie has,
hy it, ratified the sale made by
Governor Conley, that had in it
every appearance of fraud. At
the very time he made the dona
tion to the University, there was
a bill pending before Congress to
extend the time, and on the 12th
of this month, the committee it
was referred to (Education and
Labor) reported in favor of exten
ding the time for two years. Then
why this haste ? Why did not the
Governor call the attention of the
General Assembly to this question
before they adjourned, and get an
expression from them? or, if the
matter was so urgent, why not call
them together? It is simply a
flank movement on the question,
and one that reflects no credit on
the Governor, and among the
honest masses here, and elsewhere
in the State, creates great indig
nation—but little less than that
experienced on the surreptitious,
illegal and fraudulent sale made
by Conley. There is no use trying
to disguise the matter. Papers
may publish commendations of the
act, and urged by the ring who
led the Governor into this—pat
him on the back for the deed—but,
it will be denounced by the honest
masses who go for fair dealing
and legitimate transactions in the
administration of our public af
fairs. This act by the Governor
will open the question that even
the Radicals in the acme of their
| power did not dare to open, viz :
the admission of both races to the
State University. They have de
manded it already; and it will
have to be complied with, or the
! State will lose this valuable dona
' tion that has been the subject of
intrigue, fraud and speculation
since it was first made by the
Government. Forsyth.
