MACON, JUNE 13 1871.
' KDITOBIAI* COBEESPOSDESCE
J lie Xowh ia SontUwost Georgia, Bnlns,
Crops, Kie.
In the past ten days, it seems as if tha very
flood-gates of Heaven were open, and the
aqneons fluid permitted to descend without let
or hindrance.
To plow has been out of the question, except
in raw new ground, and few have been the in-
tervals between the drenohing showers, when
that handy implement, the hoe, could be brought
into service.
The African loves sunshine, and will sleep
with op-turned face exposed to the fiercest rays
of the King of day. But the wet makes him
like the salamander, take coyer incontinently;
and vain is the effort to dislodge him while the
clouds shed a tear, or the boom of thunder falls
upon his ear. No argument of grass, or dire ne
cessity, affeots him one iota; the stereotyped re
joinder “I’s free’’ is ever deemed a sufficient
answer.
The damage to the cotton crop of this section
can hardly be estimated. In a careful survey
of fifty acres by the writer, he is satisfied that
not loss than Jice have been completely washed
np and destroyed. The land, too, where in the
least undulating, has boen greatly injured.
Thousands of gullies now furrow the soil with
unsightly rents, where washes have never oc
curred before.
We were struck particularly with this fact,
that long and very gontlo descents had been af
fected most disastrously. Fields lying at an
angle to the horizon of not more than 15° seem
ed to have n large portion of tho top soil bodily
lifted and carried to tho plain below. In such
cases, it would appear that the water has time
to accumulate in great volume, and then moves
off slowly but with irresistible momentum,
bearing with it the saturated earth beneath. On
tho contrary, the rain passes off as fast &3
it falls when tho acclivity is steep, and has no
time to gather its forces for mischief.
The stands of cotton aro defective, and the
plant suffering from grass and tho lack of work,
though looking moro healthy since tho weather
has changed warmer. In point of time it is ful
ly three weeks later than usual.
The com crop, unless a sudden drouth sets
in, will bo overwhelming. Everywhere it looks
green and flourishing, and is beginning to Bhoot
thelasseL Many forming aro preparing to give
at the finishing work.
Oats, unless very early, will be much cut off
by rnst, and the wheat, already short in yield,
is destined to farther damage from the excessive
wet. Much of it is growing in the ricks, from
la<& of the necessary sunshine to oomplete the
curing process.
, The late continued rains have also damaged
to some extent, the admirable road-bed of the
Southwestern liailroaJ.
Below Andersonrille, near Major Black's plan
tation, several hundred feet were undenninod
by the rain of Sunday. At another point one
and a half miles north of the samo village, an
other bad wash occurred. The latter resulted
from the rain Sabbath afternoon. Tho passen
ger train from Eofanla on Sunday, met tho up
train at the former of theso obstacles, and the
mails and passengers having been transferred,
relumed again to Enfaula, after a delay of sev
eral hoars. The night freight and accommoda
tion train from that point, succeeded in reach
ing this city on Monday morning, after a deten
tion of two hours only.
The writer was on board, and testifies most
cheerfully to tho zeal and industry displayed by
those charged with tho duty of repairing the
damages to the road. Like beavers, they toiled
through darkness and rain until the track was
again passable.
Mr. J. E. Dense, also, the obliging conductor,
understands his business thoroughly, and ex
hibited commendablo tact and caution in the
management of his train.
If the prosent rainy and humid weather con
tinues, the result must prove to tho last degree
disastrous to the crops, as all meadow and bot
tom lands must soon be beyond recovery from
the grass. Six brief weeks will decide the crop
campaign for the present year. Remember this
farmers, and gird up your loins for the straggle
that awaits you. _
Editorial Correspondence.
In the Ar.tn.uar, June 2.
Iho deponent finds himself suddenly “caught
up” and on the wing towards the “Marsysip.”
Yesterday he got a summons which would ad
mit of neither denial, ovasion nor delay, and a
little after 5 o’clock thiB morning found himself
in an elegant special train from Savannah bound
westward, drawn by a very handsome new en-
gino—the Chatham—a trophy of the artistic
skill of the designers and machinists of the Cen
tral Railroad workshops.
Following this engine is a car devoted to
kitchen and larder. Next we have another which
represents dining and sitting room, and then a
third fitted up as sleeping chamber and parlor
—with beds nicely arranged with musquito nets,
and luxurious seats occupying tho remainder of
spaoe.
The party ig a small one. It consists of Presi
dent Wadley, and Messrs. Rogers and McIntyre,
of the Central Road, Mr. Cunningham, (of Cleg-
hom & Cunningham) a Savannah merchant and,
I beliove, a Director; Gen. Wa 8. Holt, Pres
ident, and Superintendent Virgil Powers, and
Mr. Clark, of the Southwestern Road. At Ope
lika we wore Joined by Judge King, President
of the Georgia Road, and by Mr. Foicacre, and
at Montgomery will bo joinoa by Mr. Presi
dent Pollard of the Western Road, eg (bo con
tinuous line from Opelika to Selma is now de
nominated. Theso ten with the writer will con
stitute the party. V,
The business purpose of tho trip I suppose to
be to make some arrangements with the Selma
and Meridian Road, which has been lately
bought in by tho mortgagers, and which is an
important link in the great line.from Savannah,
ox the Atlantic seaboard, and Vicksburg on the
Mississippi. This is tho shortest line of com
munication between tho father of rivers and the
ocean daddy; and the Central Road main tains
that it crosses the lowest Sonthernbelt in which
speh a line can be supported in vigorous opera
tion. This line passes through the great cotton
zone, and they say with entiro confidence that
it is destined to maintain and stregthen its po
sition a3 the groat ootton carrier of the South-
while lines below or above it can at best catch
only the driblets. ' •
Tho day has been sultry and cloudy with oc
casional light showers. We ore now (at about
0-1 o’clock) near Montgomery, and will go as
fur as Selma to-night. The cultivated fields and
patches on the road sides look better than I ex
pected to seo them. About two-thirds aro in
corn—generally backward, but very healthy—
the highest corn, up to tho shoulder. Colton,
too, looks better than yon would expeot—es
pecially west of Columbus, where a rolling and
dry country protects It against tho rain. But I
am told the low and prairie lauds make a des
perate allowing.
Generally, tho country on tho railway from
Macon to Opelika is uninteresting—for the most
part pino barren. There is our good old county
of Taj lor—a fine ootmtry, but from the railway
Jim Barfield said It would fake a thousand acres
of ter to winter a goat. Houston makes a good
showing—and is a splendid county. But west of
Opelika tfro country is pretty—-g beautifully rqjl-
ing and moderately rich upland. Whioh, how
ever, has been badly treated by inch-and a-
quarter plowing. 1 '
Oaelika is scooting heavenward hard after
Atlanta. Foreacro says they asked him five
thousand dollars for a quarter of an acre lot to
put a shanty on fo* lii3 family. Indoed, the
Opelikelaus say they will tread on Atlanta’s
tail before two yearn are ont. As for sates
and gate cities, they say Atlanta has but four,
while they are all gates. But good bye, and
take care of yourselves. J. C.
On the Boas, June 3,187i.
The Selma and Meridian Road is said to tra
verse the garden spot of Alabama, and certainly
a finer agricultural region never opened Us gen
erous and expansive bosom to tho industrious
husbandman. It discloses a considerable variety
of soil and landscape. Ton pass a good deal of
dead level, river bottom country; but far more
of a splendidly undulating surface, hero called
prairie. The soil varies from a light grey sandy
and pebbly formation through all shades of
color—yellow, reddish and brown clay, to a deep
black alluvium. Of these various descriptions
of surface and soil a landscape is constantly,
and, in fact, almost uninterruptedly opening to
you on cither side of the road, varying from
half a mile to two miles in width.
Much more of this noblo area is under culti
vation than I expected to find. The eye fol
lows great fields of waving com back sometimes
for two miles in depth, generally, say from two
to five feet in height' and of the rankest and
darkest green. A good deal of the com, how
ever, is not moro than n foot highland some
even less. Of the whole vast area in actual cul
tivation,, I think full ouo-half i3 exclusively ip
com; and from Opelika westward to this point,
where I am now writing, (Uniontown,) almost
every cotton field is crossed with com rows at
intervals of fifteen feet. This produces, they
say, about five to ten bushels to tho acre, and
the ordinary yield of. the full aero of com is
about forty bushels. - ' ' -
The forest growth of this country, where It
yet remains undisturbed, is magnificent—great
oaks, hickories, maples, gum, cedar amfcypress,
and now and then n little pine—but not much;
The cross-ties of the road are mostly oak; and
tlie-locomotives run on oaken fuel.
I cannot imagine a moro splendid oonntry
than this is destined to become, when it is put
under corresponding culture and improvement,
as, one of these days, it will be. It will abund
antly subsist as dense a population as anyspot.
on earth, and probably there are few parts of
the globe which will not only subsist but en
rich so largo a population. Consider that it is
as good a grain, as it is a cotton country, and
there is, apparently, bnt the smallest proportion
of it which cannot be brought under tho plow.
The most of this land is still hold in large
bodies by the great ante-bellum planters, and
is priced at ten to twenty-five dollars per acre.
But land which will bring forty bushels of com
without rnauuxu ami witxi veryincunerent band-
ling, seems cheap enough at twenty-five dollars
per acre.
How does this prairie land cotton look ? Va
riously. In low spots it is about drowned ont,
and a good deal of it irredeemably grassy.
The most of it 13 from two to four inches high,
and some little five or six. On the whole, the
average of it does not look vory unpromising,
though it is backward, and, generally speaking,
in bad tilth. - - - -7 —■ ■ ■-
We are at this moment running slowly over
the road, examining tts condition. The bond
holders and mortgagers have taken it for one
million dollars—that is to say, eighty miles of
it, to York, and wish to sell it (as I suppose) for
about the samo amount. Beyond York, twenty-
seven miles to Meridian, belongs to Stanton’s
line, and this is tho only missing link in the
chain to Vicksburg. I have heard it said that
Stanton demands thirty thousand dollars yearly
rontage for right of way, bnt that i3 too much,
and probably this gap will havo to bo built.
So far, about 12 m., it ha3 rained none to-day,
and Africa has been ont in force fighting grass.
A larger proportion of women are In the field
than I have noticed elsewhere. In such a coun
try as this, labor, judgment and economy, are
all that is needed to reproduce a condition of
overflowing wealth and abundance.
From Selma beyond Demopolis, say fifty-five
miles, it is apparent to the eye that tho whole
country rests on a rotten lime Btone substra
tum. As yon approach Demopolis it crops ont
more constantly, and the railway track is fre
quently cut through solid beds of it, sometimes
to the depth of fifteen or twenty feet. For two
or three feet the stone generally assumes a
greenish white color, and is rapidly disintegrat
ing. Below it is a solid blue—frequently seam
less—but it all disintegrates on exposure to
the atmosphere. It takes the form of slate, and
then slacks and breaks up into little squares,
and gradually abrades into an impalpable pow
der. This is the secret of tho extraordinary
fertility of tho soil, and in this unknown depth
of limestone substratum is an inexhaustible sup
ply of -creative vegetable wealth.
Here, too, according to tho popular theory,
is the secret of these Artesian wells, which sup
ply Dallas, Greene, Marengo and Sumpter
counties with their perennial, gushing foun
tains of limpid water. Boring through this
massive superincumbent bed of limestone, a
spring is reached whoso course is depress
ed below its sources by this enormous
pressure. Touch the subterranean current
and it springs up with great force above
the surface. On thi3 road, for example, is cer
tainly one Artesian well, which discharges a
heavy stream of water into a tank high enough
to supply the locomotive, and so has been pour
ing day and night, an uninterrupted stream for
years.
For this distance note the streams intersected
by this road—tho Little Bigby and the Big Big-
by, and all the creeks which intersect the track.
Every one cf them presents/on either side, a
«"»lid limestone wall, smoother and moro com
pact than was ever laid by mortal hand.
Now, coaneivo tins fifty-five miles of country
old and well titled—no stumps in tho fields
—full of fino EolllcinOats and stately mansions—
opening to tho eyo a vista «t ihrco to five miles
of splendid farming improvements, and it is a
right worth seeing. From five to teii mile3 bo-
low Demopolis the country is poorer and «toie
broken. J. O. >
Strikes—Sambo an Apt Scholar.
In Washington City, several days ago, a large
number of negro laborers were employed to work
on the Columbia Street Railway at $1 25 per
diem. Taking a leaf from tho book of their
Northern lay and order friends, however, on
Monday they refased to go to work, demanding
$2 00 for eight hours’ labor. About a dozen
who reported for duty wore beset by their com
rades, and told if they did not all join the strike
they would be killed.
The mob was finally dispersed by tho police,
but not before they had driven away their com
panions who were at work.
The managers of the road have found no dif
ficulty in procuring reliable white labor, and
avow they will not employ the strikers now at
any price. How easy it is for the ignorant and
degraded to acquire bad habits and ape the
vices of others. These emutes are but the first
buddings of the harvest of calamity and death
which will follow a contest between labor and
capital. They should be put down by the strong
arm of the law in their infancy.
In some English manufacturing, towns the
• xonqyof secret societies, takes shape ip the
persecution of labor sivigg iuvntors, and
industrious and innocent rtrtn thro not un-
nnfrequently Iho victims ef there oorspiracies.
Once let our untutored colored population
believe that they can control their employers by
forcible exactions, and there will be no end to
the troubles which will ensue. We trust their
Washington experience will inculcate a whole
some lesson for the'fuinro.
Jeff. Dayls.
Too New York Herald and the whole crew of
Northern journalists, have.let slip the dogs of
war upon the person of the hapless ex-Prerident
so recently liberated from a long and inhumane
incarceration at Fortress Monroe.
The Herald even gives utterance to tho fol
lowing spiteful paragraph: “ Give him the
length of. the string that ought to have brought
him up long ago."
While we feel that it was in bad taste for Mr.
Davis to have uttered one syllable uponjwliti-
cal subjects, and believe that a vast majority of
Southern Democrats are opposed to taking any
active part in the formation of a Presidential
platform, still we confess to a feeling of sad
ness at the venom which is exhibited towards
an unfortunate and ruined enemy. This does
not savor much of universal amnesty and the
doctrine of forgiving and forgetting, which Mr.
Greeley and others aro so fond of expatiating
upon. ,
Doubtless tho “raw head and bloody bones’
of another rebellion on the tapis will be made
to do good service for Grant in the campaign
before him. It will not be the first time that
willful misrepresentation and falsehoods ont of
whole cloth, have been made to subserve unholy
partisan purposes. All honest Northern men
know that the Sonth does not seek the renewal
of hostilities, bnt on the contrary, presents the
spectacle of a law-abiding people, patient and
forbearing even under aggravated wrongs and
grievances.
■ j THE CEOltGU 1’ItESS.
; Without a single solitary exception the press
of the State allude to the almost inoessant rains
of the last four days, and express sympathy for
the cotton planters.
The Republican says the recent heavy show-
ert of rain have thoroughly washed the streets
and lanes of Savannah, thus rendering timely
aid to the street and lane committee, and giving
the assurance that the present health of tho city
will continue daring the summer.
Mr. A. D. Lockwood, a great cotton mill en
gineer of New England, says Augusta' is des
tined to bo -the Lowell of the South in manu
facturing proportions. It is to be hoped his
prediction will be amply fulfilled.
The Chronicle and Sentinel reports the arrest
of General W. Kryzanowski, Supervisor of In
ternal Revenue for this Btato, Florida and Ala
bama, in Angnsta on Friday, on a possessory
warrant, issued by Justloo Yerdery, at the in
stance of a firm in that city, whose books ho was
cnargeil with haviog illegally seized. Tho COSO
came before Judge Yerdery on Saturday, and a
motion was made to transfer it to the United
States Circuit Conrt. Counsel for the firm ob
jected, and the court refased the motion;
whereupon defendant’s counsel excepted to tho
ruling and gave notice that a writ of certiorari
would be aplied for.
Augusta negroes havo a novel way of receiv
ing their colored creditors when they call to
make collections. They snatch up double bar
reled guns, and offer to settle their debts in
powder and lead, if the creditor don’t leave in
short order.
J. O. Mathewson, Esq , of Augusta, shipped
to Baltimore recently a lot of white wheat. It
being the first of tho season received at that
point, it sold for the fanoy price of S3 per
bushel.
One of the Macon Knights Templar, recently
on a visit to Atlanta, gave it as his opinion
when ho went home, that Atlanta is decidely a
one-horse place. He says ho mustered his com
pany np here, and not more than two negroes
followed it around through tho streets. Ho
mustered tho same company in Macon last year,
and was followed by at least two thousand ne
groes.—Atlanta Sun.
Cuors in Hancock.—The Sparta Times and
Planter of the 3d Inst, says:
Tho wheat crop i3 said to bo excellent
thronghont.the county. Some have harvested
their crops, yielding well; few instances of rust
are reported, but as a general thing, tho crop is
above the average. The com crops in this
county cannot he surpassed. Planters say the
prospects are better for a large yield than they
have known for many 'years. About an aver
age crop of oats will be made, but tho cotton is
sorry throughout this section. A failure in this
plant the present year is predicted.
Rev. Dr. Skinner, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, Columbus, has been granted indefinite
leave of absence, in consequence of tho failing
health of his wife.
One of the proprietors of the Savannah Ad
vertiser won a §C00 set of f umituro at a raffle in
his town on Saturday night, and is, of course,
highly elated.
Excoubaging.—Moneyed men report less de
mands for loans on good collaterals at present
than at any time in our history. The city is
also doing an average business. There is as
much good security as ever. This Bhow3 farm
ers at least have moro money than they aro
credited with. It i3 pleasant to know all has
not disappeared, as tho croakers would have
us believe.—Columbus Sun, 4th.
Riot in Angnsta.
The -pres3 of Augusta of Friday, report a
rather seripns riot that occurred near the fac
tory in that city on Thursday evening last, da
ring tho progress of which two men weire shot
and several struck with bricks. Tho Chronicle
says tho row was of a sectional obaracter, and
tho War one of race. The difficulty seems to
have originated in the. following manner:
It appears that at a-laio hour on the ovening
of Thursday, Frank Miller, colored, passed
along Marbury street, in front of the Factory,
just as a number of lad3 wero coming out of tho
building. Seeing that Miller was intoxicated,
tho crowd commenced making remarks to and
abont him. Not fancying the manner in which he
was addressed, Miller replied rather roughly and
some of the boysbegan to curse him. Miller hap
pened lobe accompanied by several colored boys,
and these latter espoused his quarrel. Seizing
some bricks they commenced pelting tho whites,
who throwbriclrs in retnrn, and charging caused
tho colored combatants to fall back. A running
fight ensued until tho retreating party reached
tho old pistol factory. At this point one of tho
colored boys drew a revolver, but before he
conlduso it another colored boy, named Mnr-
plirey, snatched the weapon from his hand3 and
fired it three times at tho white party. Two of
shots took effect—one of the balls striking
.f J 0o ®{£ roan named Tom Bryant, in the chin;
*“9 . ^ penetrating the shoulder of William
Tcthston. " Aether of the young men received
serious injuries. Ag. soon as the shots were
fired both Bides retireu. Mr. Bryant, wo under
stand, had nothing to do -*ith the affray, and
had merely approaohed the spot to see the oc
casion of the disturbance.

June 2,1871. >
Editors Telegraph and Messenger :—We see
arrayed in Governor Bollock's Ku-klnx column
tho case of a Mr. Andrews, of this county,
whose rouse was recently robbed. We have
often heard the facts of this case, as related by
Mr. Andrews’ family. But never until the
Governor’s proclamation was published did we
hear even a suspicion intimated that it was a
Ku-klnx outrage, or the work of any organized
band. It was simply a caso of robbery, perpe
trated by two unknown disguised men, who
came to Mr. Andrews’ house early in the
night in Us absence, and, in presence of his
family, searched Us trunks and took hls'money.
And from the indignation naturally aroused by
such a crime as this, and wUch we have, heard
universally expressed, we doubt not that the
citizens of this county unanimously desire the
apprehension and punishment of these crimi
nals, even more sincerely than our immaculate
Governor does.

favored a simultaneous decision in verification
of the elections of the Orleans Princes and tho

Savannah, Ga., June 2,1871.
Having been informed by my friends in the
interior of Georgia that there is prevalent in
that section a report that the recent lease of the
Macon and Western Railroad by the Central had
been secured through some collusion of the Cen
tral Railroad with the gentlemen interested
ni the construction of tho Atlanta and Savan-
vah Railroad, and having had my attention
called toa newspaper article, in which it was in
timated that I had, as a “junior attorney,’’been a
party to this matter, I consider it but just to the
Central Railroad, to the interests of the Savan
nah and Atlanta Boe3, of which I am a Director,
and to myself r that a statement of facts should
be made. In my correspondence with Colonel
’Robert C. Humber, of Putnam comity, I find a
letter of the 25th of May, which presents these
facts, and I prefer to present them to tha pub-

The District Courts;

would not again thrust himself before an indul
gent public were it not for the purpose of cor
recting a wrong impression oh the mind of Ver
sus, and perhaps some of your many .readers.
He does not assume tho championship of the
District Courts in general and challenge a nows-
papor war. Tho article -of the SOlh was written
solely for the purpose of. correcting what was
honestly’ conceived to bo an error in the prac
tice of some of our local courts, and call tho at
tention of thinking men to the practical work
ings of tho District Court in this county : and if
Jiis theory and arguments were not confined to
the wants of his own connty, then his mind was
Tn error (if error it be) and not his heart.
Quidam has not seen the practical working of
the District Court in any connty other than his
own, and would “not seek to enlist other Sec
tions . of tho Stato in its favor. “Having, he
hopes, convinced Versus that the article in ques
tion was intended to apply solely to local algdir8,
and not to the public at large, nothing is left to
him bnt to apologize to his “Piney Woods” ac
quaintance for having unwittingly entered his
rustic retreat, and disturbed his equanimity by
advocating the claims of the District Courts in
sral, and bids him adieu by admitting all
ho claims for his own connty, his people
and his judge.
He admits that “jaslices in our county”
were good men, learned and.true, and the pres
ent encumbent in “our county” has * knoro beaver;
than brains. ” Such’ a state of affairs is truly un
fortunate and deplorable, and when Quidam'
turns from an upright and enlightened judiciary
at home and gezes upon the sad picture,his heart
yearns in sympathy over tho misfortunes of the
people of “our county,” and he regrets that the
virtuous indignation of Versus did not inspire
manly courago enough to. tell the name of hla
unfortunate. connty, his oppressed people and his
wonderful Judge, and not leave his. friends
groping in the dark seeking the proper Tecip-
ents of their sympathy and fearing lest they
bestow iton the wrong object. He admits that
justice was cheap under the old regime and that
“it has cost fifty times as much to get ready to
try the first case (in the District Court) as it did
to try all the cases by the two justices under the
act of 1868.” Truly, a wonderful ratio of in
crease. Yet he accepts it as true to the letter.
He admits,that “our people are so xnueh op
posed to tt that they refuse to come in contact
with it in any shape,” and that their indignation
rises to such virtuous heights that their very op
position to the court nips crime itself in the
bud, and leaves a brainless judge to gaze In dis-
pair over dockets nnspotted with crime. A new
theory, bnt true in fact.
Quidam admits that “he does not comprehend
the motives that prompted. the Legislature to
organize these tribunals.” Hie education, asao-

Robert C. Humber, Esq., Ealonton:.
Mx Deab Bib : Your letter of iha 1 _
has been anticipated by nie, and hence my com
mu&ication of the same date,' giving m j eon-
jeobares as to the action of the City Council of
Savannah on the resolutions adopted at the cit
izens' meeting on the lGth, a copy of whioh I
have forwarded to'yofr , The claims'c^ the 'At-
lanta and Savannah Railroad have been pre
sented to the people of Savannah, as we desired
that it should be pres9nted-ufoly,on M
as an enterprise'in which’thoy'arn Ini
representatives of the interests of Georgia’s
commercial emporium.- . ' .
As far as my part in this mailer is concern-
whether well performed or not, IfcavO certainly
labored under great embarrassments, just such
as yon know how to appreciate, from our .ex.
tended conversations and correspondence. Yon
are, therefore, fully prepared to appreciate the
remarkable action of the Council last night, a
copy of which I enclose, takerf f(oni this morn
ing’s paper.
From the information I have received, I am
satisfied that some good has already come to At
lanta and Savannah, the termini-of our road,
even though our friends along the line may be
for the present disappointed. I am assured that
a lease of the Macon and Western Railroad has
been, or is abont to be consummated J>y 4he
Central. This is a result, at least, of ihe agita
tion of the questions involved in the construc
tion of the Atlanta and Savannah, and an inci
dent in the progress of our work which'will re
quire careful consideration. I would inrite your
thoughtful attention to it now, as I will make it ”
the principal subject of this letter, and it must
become a snbject of grave deliberation among
tho friends of the Atlanta and Savannah. Rail-
th&d-
You aro familiar with the circumstances con
nected with tho inception of our enterprise and
the obtainmentof its charter from the Legisla
ture. Pray, pardon ms, if I should weary you
by repeating them, and bo assured, my dear sir,
I only do so to preserve against every future
contingency the record of a work which has to
this date been preserved in its spirit, and
moved onward in tho fult recognition of every
principle of equity or law—recognized by men
of character in the civil walks of life. Our
Charter, as yon aro aware, was obtained from
the Legislature by myself representing the
wants of the pemle in your section of Middle
Georgia, and tL.-ir groat commercial friend, the
Cenirt.1 Railroad.
Mr. George W. Wyly, a sagacious business
man and publio spirted citizen of Savannah,
acting at tho time as tho President of the Cen
tral Railroad, during tho absence of Mr. Wad-
ley, approved it, in advance of its being sub
mitted to tho Legislature, and has to this day,
unofficially declared his hearty endorsement of
the enterprise as one in the interest of the peo
ple along its projected line, the cities of Atlanta
and Savannah and of the Central Railroad.
Acting under, his advice, I presented the
charter to the Legislature in the form of an act
of incorporation. This had not been done long
before I discovered in the opposition arranged
against it the interest it was to affect on the
State. Notwithstanding that we askedfor none
of the “aid” which was being lavishly bestowed
npon tho multitude of railroads chartered at
this session, our enterprise was mot with an op
position in iho Legislature, the very organiza
tion and openly declared purpose of which
evidenced the fact that rival corporations were
at least afraid of.iffi power. This opposition
wn, by persistent effort, overcome, and the
charter granted by.a very small majority vote
in both branches of the “developing” General
Assembly. As soon os I returned to Savannah
acd could do so, I presented tho charter to the
Board of Directors of the Central Railroad in
session, believing that it was from the circum
stances of my relations the property of this
corporation. • :
It wa3 then, for the first time, that I heard di“
reclly the views of . Mr. Wadley, the President
of the .Central Railroad, expressed upon this
subject, as it had beea associated with the in
terests of his road. Mr. Wadley, in the frank
ness and deliberation characteristic of the gen-
tleman, stated to me, that, under the circum
stances then existing, the Central Railroad
oonld not aid in the construction of the Atlanta
and Savannah Railroad, either as & branch of
the Central, or as an independent line "of rail;
way, and that, as -far .as the interests of his
road were ooncemed, he did not appreciate the
necessity for its construction. The action of
the Board of Directors was in harmony with
Mr. Wadley’s views, as expressed to, mo, and
thus terminated all connection whatever of the
Central Railroad with onr enterprise..
Up to this time I considered, that I had been
acting as an attorney for the Central Railroad*,
with the interest of an. attorney:4n the work
whioh had been completed by him,, and as a cit- e '
Izen of Georgia, with the interests of a citizen
in the resalts to accrue to this seaport, the city
of Atlanta and. tho peoplo along the dine of the
projected road from Tennillo to Atlanta. Since
then, by no word, spoken, written, or in any
manner whatever conveyed, has Mr. Wadley or
any official of the Central Railroad intimated
to nie, or to any one connected with our enter
prise, that I am aware of, that de desired the
construction of the Atlanta and Savannah Rail
road, or that he or his Board of Directors would
encourage any more in that direction. This,
as a fact, you -are aware of.. All that has been
done towards the construction of onr road has
been accomplished through the advice 'and
counsel of our President and Board of Directors
and as independa&t of the advice or of any col
lusion with tho Central Railroad as we aro to-,
day of the railroads in Great Britain.
The lease, therefore, of the Haeon and Wes
tern Railroad .by the Central, if indeed it. be
really accomplished, 13 bnt incidental to the ac-i
five manner in which wo have prosecuted our
work. Mr. Wadley, with the sagacity of an able
executive officer, has watched tho progress ,o£
the fight, and having placed himself in pesition.
has accomplished an end which he would have
achieved at some day by a slower bnt by an
equally sure process. Had he done Ies3 than
tins, he would not have been aoting np to his
past record as a discreet and skillful officer.
I think Atlanta and Savannah should be con
gratulated on the result, and give us, at least,
the credit of haring hastened the completion of
a through line between these important com
mercial points.
There yet remains much merit in our enter
prise, and I am rather indisposed to leave the
field when my judgment is convinced that there
is a remaining chance for success. Let us bury
the dead, send the wounded to the rtar, get the
old women and the croakers out of dangers, and
oall another council of war. j ■*T j
I have great confidence in onr General, and
at the same time that the great Central hat not
expressed any opdn friendahip, we have no pea-
son to believe there is any enmity existing to
wards us.

But this objection was obviated by the
tative statement that certain liberal and u-ealihv
Presbyterians intended, by largo gifts and be^
quests, to commence the work of a great South,
em University, and that, therefore, the resour
ces of tho Onureh proper would not be tak a:
all in this direction. Authentic Information va
received to the effect that one gentleman mu’]
give fifty thousand, another thirty thousmi, ml
a third twenty thousand dollars to inaugurate tts
magnificent scheme. In view of these genera
propositions, tho General Assembly, towhich
body was referred the report of the Educations!
Convention for a decisive disposition ot tie
question, appointed its own trustees (acharterej
board) to receive and holdall funds that mj
be contributed for this purpose till the nsi
meeting of said Assembly, which is to be Men
in the city of Richmond on the third Rushy
in May, 1872, when final action will belai in
the case. It was the sense of all concerted that
a half million of dollars will be required aa an
endowment for the University.
Where this contemplated institution wQbe
located ia yet to be determined, but from shat
we heard in Huntsville, we fee! assured that the
claims of Atlanta are paramount to these of ary
other place in the South. Indeed, no oihr lo
cality was mentioned in this connection. Ve
cherish, then, tho confident hope that this city
is destined to be the fnture location of oneo.
the grandest enterprises of the age. In this
event Oglethorpe University will, of course, o»
absorbed in the larger and moro coaBandirg
establishment.
In conclusion, permit mo to state that the
General Assembly has enjoined upon all tha
Presbyteries and Synods under ils care to rally
round the existing institutions of the Church,
and to sustain them by their substance, patron
age and prayers. Tins timely action ou the part
of the Supreme Court of the Church, ridUeni
