MACON, NOVEMBER ‘870
Tlie Ueinnlcee nml Nortli Ceorfiia
Kailruad.
We woro much gratified to learn, yesterday,
from Mr. Cowles-who has been actively '
work in the interest* of tne above important
road, and to whose untiring efforts its success
at Atlanta is greatly dao—that the Presidents
of the Ceutr*l, Macon and Brunswick, and
Southwestern Bond* have volunteered to organ
ize and put in the field at once, a party to sur
vey threo routos between this point and Knox
ville, the Northern tormina-* *>f tne road. These
three routes lie, one oa either side of the Oe-
mn'geo River, aud the other by Monticello, Jas
per ^county. The remit of tbit survey, it is un
deistoed, will fix the route of the road from
Macon to Covington at least, as by the terms of
the charter it is made obligatory to touch at
that point, and also at Lawrenceville, in Gwin
nett county.
State aid has been secured sufficient to build
half tbo road, and its great importance as a
short line to Cincinnati and the North, as well
as the character and resources of the section
through which it must pass, make it an impo
ra'iva necessity that it be built as speedily as
may bo. Its advantages to Macon and South
Wes'ern Georgia are too apparent to need
elaboration. As long as we keep our smoke
houses and corn cribs in the West, it is greatly
to our intoreBt to havo as short and cheap lines
of transportation to and from them, as possible.
To the people of the sections through which it
will pass its valne w 11 l*e inestimable, and we
are sure they are fully awake to the fact. This
is one of the ro ids that onght to be, that can
be, and that will be built, sooner or later. We
do not deotn any argument necessary to estab
lish that point. Whether or nor Northern cap
ital can be enliated in its behalf depends, it
tee ns to ua, very much upon the way in which
the projvct is received and treated by those
most immediately interested in its speedy
success.
Postal Cards.
The Washington correspondent of the Press
says there is good reason to expect that the PoS'
Office Department will soon be authorized by
Congress to is*ue for the public use postal cards
similar to those now so popular in Germany,
and which have lately been introduced into the
postal service of Great Britain. These cards
have a place for direction, name, and place.—
They are about two and a half by three and a
halt inches, with ruled lines, and a postage
stamp printed on one of the corners They will
probably be sold at. two cents, and wi 1 find here,
as in Europe, abundance of pnrehasers. Kept
in the pocket-book, a message may be written
on them while on the street coiner, or in a car
or carriage, and they may be dropp; d into th-
Baan-st post box, or tbrown into the mail car,
and thus hundreds of messages will be sent by
mail which are not sent now, simply becanse
the materials for writing are not at hand, or it
is too much trouble to write a letter, which is
always supposed to be more or less a formal
document. These hastily-scribbled cards have
added largely to the English postal revenne, and
proved a pubic convenience of no mean ebar
aoter. We have no doubt tbo Postmaster Gen
eral will recommend their use in the American
Postal Service in his annual report, and that
We will have them in ose before the close of the
winter.
Gen. Lewis, the Commissioner of Fdnca-
tion, has goneNunhto familiarize himself with
the common school nyatems of several of tLe
Northern States.—Atlanta Intelligencer, 8th.
Jus' aa we expected The man has to be
taniht his business, in addition to being one of
ibe moat unfit persons in every o her respect,
tba even Bullock could have found. There
are p'eoty of native Georgians who are fully
competent noio to diseba ge the duties of tbe
office, wi hout going North to be “crammed’’—
Of course the tax paers of Georgia are
to pay Lewis’s expenses while on his t or
Mirth to qualify h'mself for tbe office into
which he has been tbrnst sg inst their wishes.
Lewis has a g'Mid thing. We predict he’ll go

public expense, to “familiarize” himself wish

saying that ail persons appointed have to un
dergo examination as to qualifications—tb*
preference, of course, being given (all thing*
