STEVENSON Sc SMITH,
Kmroita ano Pkopmiitohs.
MACON, UA . APRIL 12, 1873.
.■%• Outlet t the Nurlhweat.
In another column will he found tlie
pioclainntioii of Mayor Hull duly issued
in accordance with the oalh of office aa
Mayor of the city of Macon, calling upon
iu citizens to go to the polls on the 23d of
the present mouth and vole far or against
the Macon and Cincinnati Uailrosd. The
proposition is whether the cily will give
this gigantic and all important railway
1200,000 after its stockholders shall have
built and equipped forty miles of Us track.
Not a dollar is asked for, nor a single
bond except upon these conditions, if we
understand tlie prop< sition correctly. And
the proposition Beems to have come in
good faith from the incorporators of the
road, who really wish to get the indorse
meut of their immediate city in tlie great
enterprise they have undertaken for its
welfare.
We believo they are in earnest about
building this new outlet to the Northwest,
and as every security which can l>e offered
by an honest man Tor tlie temporary loan
of money has been offerod by them to tlie
city of Macon, wo have no hesitation
about the duty of evi*y citizen at the
polls at the election on the 23d.
To what are wo indebted to-day for all
our greatness 1 Geographically, we have
some little claim to honor and distinction.
Hut no more upon that score than Forsyth
or Ilawklusvlile. It lias been our policy
from our youth up. to invest one dollar in
railways where there was a prospect of
making two. The Central railroad was
first designed to terminate at Hawkinsvllle.
Hut riawklnsvHle regarded tlie matter as
a big joke, and Macon thought the matter
serious enough to tuko SIOO,OOO stock In
it. She got the road, aud from this cir
cumstance all our prosperity since lias <ll
rcclly and indirectly been derived.
Must wo stop now T Must tlie boundu
ries of Romo be strictly couliued to that
accomplished by Romulus aud Remus, or
must we give birth to Ceasar, .ttniilius and
Augustiue T
We have no doubt as to what (tie result
will be. “To stand still is to retrograde,"
Is an adage accepted as a truism. We
have readied that epoch In our career as
a city where It is absolutely necessary for
ua to arise to the duties of a supreme mo
meut. and contradict the sneer that Macon
is not “Wadley's Cross Roads," but the
geographical and railway penter of the
Umpire State of the South.
The counties across the river, lying
between us aud Knoxville, tell us , start
your road ; at least, build it to tlie border
of your county, and lrotu thence we will
do everything in our power to help it
through. We w ish to open direct rela
tions of our county with tlie city of Macon
for the mutual benefit of ourselves and
of you. New, what shall be our response ?
Shall we tell them no ; we do not wish to
know you—we don't want your company,
your cotton, your patronage for our pro
visions and our dry goods, our agricultural
implements, our mauufacUniea
It would be an insult to our common
utellig etioe to even argue this point.
A Sc ha i* of History. —We were shown
today a letter from r citisen of New York
who used to reside iu Georgia years and
years kgo. lie was writing in the inter
est of the Macon and Knoxville Hail way,
urging us to go forward and build it.
He that when the Stale Hoad was
first sutvsyed the engineers adopted the
identical unite now proposed, that is from
Atlanta to Knoxtille, iustead of the one
eventually seleoted and which is now
known as the Western and Atlantic Kail
road.
But th Tennessee Legislature refused
to meet Georgia at Knoxville and laid
dewu Chattanooga as its ultimatum. Wc
had to come to its terms and hence the
necessity of building the line to day orig
iualiy selected by scientific engineers
They plainly saw then as we do now
that this was the shortest and the most di
rect and practicable route to the North
west. But they were overruled by a power
beyond their State—a Slate whose local
interests did not correspond precisely with
'-air own.
iii-lirlimn Vwiing. t
If we are to believe the telegraphic re
ports, this filthy old whbremorfger is pre :
paring to leave Utah and go where “tele
graph lines do not connect.”
We hopo the report is true. The world
has long flinch been disgusted with this,
tlie hugest imposter of the century. He
had sufficient cunning to lake his tribe and
ills imposition forty yeurs ago beyond the
immediate gape of civilization. Hut civili
zation lias caught up with him and now
he secs that it is necessary to either retreat
into another darkness or go down to ob
livion.
The very motto he bus adopted is a
falsehood. Over his Chief house or sera
glio is a bee gum—his coat of arms repre
sents a liive of bees busy at work, 110
selects these insects as an cmbleiu of In
dustry, and (Niints hi* people to them for
example. In all tlie Hiblo the bee Is not
mentioned ns an example of industry. It
1* known to God Almighty it n known
to natiiiulists as one of tlie laziest insects
that moves, and has its being. It fill- its
cells in the spring, and unless you go and
take away the honey, <t will lie up in the
shade during tin- balance of the year. The
Ant is the example of the Bible.
Wo doubt il a single reader of the En
tkiu’hisk evn hiiw a copy of the “Book
of Mormon” Years ago the writer had
one in his Lihraiy. Aud such a pack of
stuff and nonsense was never turned out
from the printing press. Gotten up by u
I’ittailing quack preacher, half crazy, and
given to a shrewd fellow by the nsme of
Joe Smith, it eventually founded a sect
which is known throughout the world.
Tlie book is full of trash which none other
than the most stupid mind could dwell up
on live minutes unless from sheer curiosity.
It lias been made famous from noiustrinsic
value whatever, but rather by what the
Mormons cull the persecutions of the
Saints. There is a great deal of truth in
the Baying, persecute an error and it will
find new friends. And you can kill a real
virtue by voluminous praise.
If tlie western roughs had never killed
Joe Smith for stealing horses aud com
mitting other depredntions upon them, Ins
book and bis sect would to-day have been
among tho forgotten humbugs of the world.
Bio Waters—The people of the Mis-
Bissippi valley, like turtles, have com
menced crawling tip to high places, but
with that degree of slowness known only
to the dignity of turtles. It was once
telegraphed from Cairo : "Since the flood
subsided we have received 340 distinct
smells, with four wards to hear from.”
The people of the low countries are be
ginning to hear from the up country. Six
aud eight feet of suow everywhere, like
Hrigham Young, is beginning to immi
grate South.
And what a beautiful thought, and what
a compliment iieie wells up in the heart
to our beautiful land and Its still more
beautiful climate. The boreal blasts, the
ice and the snows nre softened soon ne
they pass the thirly-fitih parallel. It it
not their home. And never yet did the
most virulent Northern hater of the South
cross this line without a softening ef his
heart tow ards those ho so cordiclly hated.
