Atlanta and Savannah Railroad,
We call the attention of our reader^
to the account of the meeting of the
Corporators of this Road, held in Sa
yannah last week, which we clip from
the Savannah Republican of Saturday.
As we stated last week this looks like
business, and we do trust that an enter
prise so important to the interests of
ihe county, will not be permitted to fail
from any lack of energetic cooperation
,on the part of our citizens. Time was
when our surplus capital found profita
file investment in land, and negroes—
(hat time is past, even land, now, owing
to the burdensome taXatbn and the un
certainty of it? cultivation, affords by ■
ho means, a remunerative investment.
This railroad running from Tennille
through San^ersville and Eatonton,
does We fielievp, ofljer to capitalists in
Washington co'^ntjj the very safest and
best investment for their surplus capital,
an investment which will pay them
(when the road is completed) at least
10 per cent, while at the same time
lands in the section through which it
passes will be greatly enhanced in val
ue. We call upon our planters there
fore and especially those who are hoard
fng money every year, to unlock their
strong boxes and bring out their old
V 'S s of coin qnd push forward th's en
terprise.’

Atlanta Daily Constitution.—

those mysterious shelves, and in those

Atlanta Neio Era.
The above is a part of an article in
which our cotemporary the Governor’s
oVgan, and the leading Radical paper
in Georgia, attempts to ridicule, the al
most universal wish of the Tax payers
of Georgia for a fair exhibit of the ap
propriations made by the last Legisla
ture. Does the New Era, see anything
wrong, or unreasonable in this ? Ir
saying that “the ayes and noes are not
wanted,” our cotemporary is mistaken
The people 9! Georgia, desire a fair
exposition of the actf cf their public-
servants. Who have an interest in this
matter, if those who support the gov
ernment do not ?
The doctrine of Legislative and Ex
ecutive responsibility to the people is
coeval with the Republic and no people
are fit to be free who do not hold their
public servants to a strict accounta
bility.
The proposed investigation then has
for its object simply, to let the people ot
Georgia know how, and for what purpo
ses fhe money -of the State has been
appropriated, by its servants ?
How much has been paid to members
of the legislature. How much appro
printed to pay for the full term of ser
vice, when service was rdhtjered for on
ly a part ? How much for public prin
ting ? How much for extra Clerk hire?
How much has been voted to Rail
Hoads ? ^ ■ '
Bow much has been sp$$t by his Ex
cellency the Governor, and for what
purposes l All this the’people, the tax
jayQrj of Georgia desire to know, and
cave a ri<±ht : to -JniQF« ‘
“He that doefh truth cometh to the
light.” has no motive; or wish for
concealment. If as ike Era would
lave os believe, tha late ‘ Legislature
have been faithful stewards of the trust
reposed in them, if .there have been no
frauds, no peculations, no scandalohs
neglect of the public interest. It is

Meeting of the Corporators.
There was a meeting of the Corpo
rators of this new enterprise, held in
the office of Hiram Roberts, Esq., in
this city on the 24th and 2ath inst, •The
sessions were private, and bench we
cannot report the proceedings in full.
tVe are informed, however, that the sev
eral counties of Georgia through which
h- road is to pass were represented by
the Corporators from them, or by pow
ers of attorney, and that the Georgia
railroad was represented also by attor
ney. The feeling among si\e!\ of the
Corporators as we have conversed with
is that the road will be built, j^nd we
gather tltat Northern capital \\ill Ipe
largely invested in it. There was some
talk of a combination to make a through
fine from here to Chattanooga ovef tiiis
route, but we have only the following
official resolution to rej ort which have
been handed to us by the Secretary of
the meeting:
Re-solved, That the early construction
of tte Atlania and Savannah tailroad
is demanded by the necessities of com
merceand for convenience of travel in
Georgia.
Thai the chief importance of said
railroad arises from the demand for s
great through lijje from Georgia’s coin
inercial emporium, Satatinah~ to her
capital, atitT therjc’tJ to the great West,
and that this tleiAau'cLcannot be satis
fied except by running a railroad di
rectly from Atlanta to'Savannah j. and
if satisfactory airangements cannot be
■nade with the Central railroad tor con
nection at some eligible point, then the
Atlanta and Savannah railroad should
oe run through, on an independent
line from Atlanta to Savannah,
We are tnformed t.ha^ the kooks for
-ubseriptions of stock were opeeed on
the 24.h and 25, under the supervis
ion of Hiram Roberts and H. D. Ca-
f ers, and that a large amount of stock
was subscribed. At any rate the fol-
owmg resolution was passed :
Resolved, That a suffici* nt amount of
t ck liaviug Ueen subscribed, the
books be closed for the presert, that
the S* erttary give 1 notice in the Atlanta
and Sivannah papers that an election
will be held in the city of Savannah
