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. - ♦ ♦- Death or a Railroad Man.—Mr. J. 11. lloopauah, for many years connected with the track force on the old Muscogee railroad, died in this city yesterday morn ing, aged about forty years. For the past few years he was connected with the same department of service on the Montgomery & Eufaulaand Albany & Brunswick Rail roads.
