in, the coincidence of this discovery with
the rapid occupation of the New.World.
“He that pntteth up one, and pnil^th
down another,.’’ must have had a design
in it..’ A. ,
The seeds of population were sown in
this country under the influences of
Christianity; and its rapid growth could
only.have taken place under the benign
teachings of the Bibly. The rapidity of
its growth reqnired the services of the
Angel flying throughout the'air, to meet
its increased wants; and hence Provi
dence supplied' the Gospel with the
wings of science,.with whicU tg, compass
these e.nd.s of the earth,.From the iron-
ribbed Christianity of the dark ages, an
itinerant system of pure Bible religion
was brought forth; which has unlocked
the treasures of. knowledge, broken the
fetters of Priest-craft, and- supplied the
teeming millions of America with the
gospel in a form adapted to their, capac
ity. and circumstances. And * as the
country has grown in intelligence and ■
wealth, 1 this -Christianity has assumed
brooder proportions, and‘a -more stable
character; which -is’characteristic of the
works of God, whether in nature or
grace. It is true, the seeds of moral and
political death have grown up with the
growth Of this great country. But it is
hoped that the Divine Control will
eventually work out these evils, and
once more set the-country upon its race
feu; prosperity and renown.

Mr. Loxve then entered, and being
informed of the character of his visi

A comfortable repast Was then
spread, of which Mr. Beaumont read
ily partook. His spirits rose, and he
seemed to grow younger as he saw
ihe ceerfnl faces arotind him, and
felt himself at home. Soon after the
evening meal he rose to-depart.
‘Surely you Tare not going?’ s-id

‘We will see about that, and if you

In looking over the BAixuarDOE Abgus j
of June the 5th, we find some suggestions
to the citizeus of onr county, in relation
to the railroad movement on foot. The
editor suggests that it uiuy be' pnident
to investigate the merits of a railroad

obliquity of his principles infected his
polities as well: ns his morals; and tbe
defection permeated the early legislation
of this country in such a way us to leaven
the whole lump of the Northern section
with a fetid fanaticism which regards no
law and knows no bounds. And the
huge evils'to-day are largely owing to
the leaven of Paine’s infidelity which
degenerated liberty into 'licentiousness;

forty thousand miles of navigable waters
to be thrown open to the high-ways of
population and commerce.
The masSes of Europe in millions were
to enter these liigh-ways. The growth
of population was to transcend the most
credulous anticipations. The one.
million and a quarter of 1750 the less
than three millions of 1788—were to be
m«?e than four millions in 1790—nearly
five and a third millions in 1769—more
than nine aud a half millions in 1820,
and nearly thirteen millions in 1830,
which, increased in the same ratio until
1930, will give a population of near 250
millions—almost equal to the present
population of Europe. And can any
one believe that snch a vast empire can
rise, culminate, and pass away without
Divine recognition, intervention and
control ?
In connection with this grand open
ing, and this vast population, is tbe
wonderful power of steam as an ad
junct of civilization. The ordinary speed
of locomotion coaid not have kept pace
farther west.. It appears, .however, to
be a-settled, point, with the directors,
that the road skull diverge to the west,
so as to pass through Golquitt. We can
therefore no kmger entertain tho hope
that it wifi reeross the air line, ^nd pass
far Cnoagh east of it, to benefit ns a
great deal. Doubtless, the Directors
of that road have consulted their inter
est in selectihg tho route, and we, "by no
means, find fault with them, for doing
so; fur every community, as veil as
every individual, should certainly 6eek
ps interest.
It is suggested that commnnication,
■directly with Bainbridge, would open

doee not see that we have all the markets
opened to ns throngh Tbomasville that
we should have throngh Bainbridge ?
There are several difficulties in the way,
