That it is a valuable property, and worth
the amount of its cost, no one will deny,
but is its value not depreciated under the

j office was so precarious and uncertain, that
j they left it to go into the enijiloy’ of coin-
! panics where the tenure of office is more
j dependant upon their skill, exjierieiice and
usefulness as railroad superintendents than
the freaks and shillings of ]>olilieal parties.
And as long as this road is worked under
(lie autlrority of tiie State this will be the
j case in a more or less degree. The Legis
lature have the selection ,of this officer, and
he, all sub-officers. We all know bow the
offices are “let out” by the Legislature, and
how irresponsible Legislators are as electors.
We mean no disresjiect to them, in the
main, they intend to do right, but it is a sad
l ruth" that even in the pursuit of right they
sometimes inflict a serious wrong upon the
country, but they do it under the lash of
party drilling and tactics, and excuse them
selves by blaming their opponents. If the
working of the .Hoad is to be continued by
the State, let the appointment of its Super-
ruteiidant be given to the Governor, and
the people can.hold him to a strict account;
or let the election of that officer be given to
tiie people,' and they can bear their own fol- ;
ly—but if something of this sort is not
done we are decidedly in favor of leasing
the Hoad, aud we are not certain but that
it would be the best policy under any con
tingency. If the Stale c m secure 6 jrer
cent irpon the cajiiial it has i nvested in the
Hoad, it wilj be about a* much *s she
could realise under her own. Working if not

Mr. Editor:—After se^ ^' uays u f :i j,
most intolerable rain;. a r\ windy weather,
our city has agi*,,, revived and invig
orated by a ..ea-'on of most delightful and
agreeah.ii t.tmsliine ; and the sour visages
°1 bur citizens, con#equent tijxm this, a*
f, .ey regarded it—infringement upon their
rights—have given jdaco to a sweet smile
of complacency, an index to their real feel
ings.
I notice this morning, that the streets
are unusually crowded with waggons, carts,
and iudeed, every variety of vehicle used
for the transportation of produce, giving ev
idence that the hospitality and encourage
ment extended to those from the country/
who do their trading at this market, is not
as yet entirely umijipreciated, and thrown
aside for that cold ind.Terence met with in
our neighboring sister city; here a man
has the right of acting in accordance with
his own discretion, in the di-qiosal of bis
jToduce, especially cotton, a fact which can
not be said in regard to the rules of trade
observed among the dealers of our Southe n
Now York. And it would be a matter of
very great astonishment, that tiie current
ot our trade has been to so great a degree
turned in that direction, were it not- for the
fact that the facilities of direct and speedy
communication with that place, in conse
quence of tiie commendable enterprising
zeal of her citizens, has piacud her perhaps
in a position of superiority. But it occurs
to me that certain circumstances pertain to
the trade of that place, which render it a
much less desirable market than this; and
our citizens receive, in the duninutiou of
trade, in the particular department refered
to, a merited rebuke for that spirit of leth
argy and indifference in regard to.plans of
public Hggranffizi-ment heretofore existing.
This we believe to be giving way to a sense
of their real duty. I would recommend to
the citizens of your county the plan lately
eutered upon of building a Plank Road be
tween this place and SamlersviUe, for the
advantages arising frum its construction
would be-to them of vast importance. Au
gusta is as good a market as we have in our
State, it is true, that from the nature of
things, that buyers here cannot give as
hi tic!) per jiound for cotton ; but then when
the innumerable item-, of expense incurred
by trading at the other, market is taken into
consideration, it will be found by actual cal
culation, that the trader at our market really
receives more hi return for his cotton than
he who sells his cotton fit Savannah. Aside
from the consideration of pecuniary advan
tage, is the important one, that here there
exists no fixed rules by which he is virtual
ly compelled to transfer Ids right of posses
sion toothed individuals, who it may be, do
not in every instance act in the purest faith;
in other words, the jiNutcr. the owner of
cotton, can, when the “Blank Read” shall
have been completed, send his cotton in a
coinjiaratirely short time, aud at a much
less exjiense, can accompany it, sell it, pur
chase his supjdies, while no one says no.—
Ou the oilier hand, all these things Lave to
be done by proxy, and proxy always takes
care, peremptorily, to demand his share ot
the squills. Common sense, therefore, sug
gests the propriety of extending your aid iu
the cotnjdetion of the enterprise now on foot,
and likewise does it poijit out the tnsny and
imi>ortant advantages to be derived there
from.
Augusta can now confidently assert her
equality with, if not superiority, over any
uf her sister cities iu number and extent of
factories, <fe<r.; all of which are, we presume,
lucrative investments; if they are not, we
can only attribute the failure to bad man
agement, for it is now no longer a mooted
question wheth r or not manufactories <fec.,
can be supported hy Southern enterprise.—
Iu this connection allow me to speak in coni*
raeudatory terms of the stationary steam
engine, recently turned out from the “Au
gusta Machine Works” of this place, which
in poiut of beauty and workmanship, is not
inferior to any we have ever seen ; we hope
that by the eaergyof their efficient super
intendant, Mr. Cooper, this establishment
may very soon receive its merited fame.
We have at this time in our city Mr;
