( AiianlS Celebrated Violin*.
Yon, who have music in your souls and
wish to move and cheer others by a “con

and examine Conants celebrated violins.
Those violins are none of your instruments
of a thousand cat gut strings, which in the
hands of an Artist would fling the strong

cate his joints, but real sweet toned violins
such as could be made to flatter even the
“dull cold car of death. 5 •

Large Turnips.
AYe see our friend of the La-Grange Re
porter is somewhat exercised about a 1 rojip
county Turnip weighing only 6 pounds. —
We were presented a few days ago by the
hands of Louis Hamburger of our town,
from “Old ft quire John Snclson” of Mcrri
wether, two turnips, the largest weighing
11 1-2 pounds. Wo ask Willingham if
this is not a pretty good turn-up for an Ed

Speech of Col. A. G. Fantlu’o,
of ursoN.
A bill to be entitled, “An Act to incor
porate the Hydraulic Mining Company, in
White county, and to confer certain privi
leges on said Company, and other purposes
therein named,’.’ being under consideration
in the Senate, Mr. Fambro said :
Mr. Presi dent and Senators : Modesty
in this our day is a virtue hardly com
mendable; a very rare commodity, and al
most worthless to the possessor. Timidi
ty is no less appreciated, and he who does
not overcome it, is so far behind the age
that his prudence, or silence, is too fre
quently misconstrued for ignorance, and if
he does not on some occasions raise a sten
torian voice against some of the follies and
vices of the age, he is set down as one of
the proselytes of “Young America” ready
to “ pitch in” to any and everything, how
ever dangerous or absurd. This, sir, is my
apology for once more troubling the Sen
ate with a few crude remarks in relation to
the great mania which now exists in Geor
gia upon the subject of chartered compa
nies and corporations of all sorts and for
all sorts of purposes.
Incorporations are defined to lx* artifi
cial persons, and it is truly said that they
have uo soul; and, in my opinion, they
are extremely fortunate in tliis, lbr were it
otlierwi" 0 . from their growing increase in
Georgia, and both of omis
sion and commission, the day not farfiis
tant when it would be necessary to cniargT
tue place for punishment, or the Legisla
ture will next be called on to grant a sort
ft general atonement. It is high time,
sir, for the welfare of the people of Geor
gia, that their delegates here—sentinels as
we are—fire the alarm gun to apprise our
constituents ot the approaching danger
which inevitably awaits them, sooner or
htfor, from this wild fanaticism for making
every body a body politic, with every sort
G privilege and for all sorts of purposes—
except for the public good. It is high
dme, sir, whon silence should cease to be a
‘ ll tue, and when w’e should “cry aloud and
Hare notand would to God that on
as occasion—feeble as I am, and unpre
tending as I have* usually been, and uu~
V" r thy ot the task as I feel myself to be—
that I could now summon the whole host
0 Georgians before me, and ring it in their
l ' ars , and rivet it upon their hearts that
day of reckoning is at hand, and that
d-*)’ should arise and throttle the monster
whenever he demands exclusive privileges,
such as the common yeomanry of the coun
try—the hard-handed working classes—
would be too honest to ask for and too pa
! triotic to receive.
Sir, I have the honor to represent upon
I this floor a constituency that I am proud
to say are honest, high-toned and honora
ble—intelligent, patriotic, and possessed of
philanthropy enough to yield a portion of
their individual rights whenever the pub
lic good requires it at their hands ; and,
as their representative, when you bring up
a charter properly restricted and properly
guarded, where the public are to be made
the beneficiaries, I for one will go as far
as the farthest in support of the meas
ure, even though it may in some degree
I jeopardize what I may consider a portion
; of their individual rights to consummate
the object. Though I never can—l never
, shall, nor I never will give up one jot or
1 one tittle, when the whole object is for in
dividual gain, and when no one is to be
benefit ted except the favored few whose
names are mentioned as corporators, and
immodestly ask at the hands ot the Gener
al Assembly, as these men do, to grant
them the privilege of conveying other peo
ple’s water over other, people’s land tor
their own exclusive gain, or at least the
chances for it, w hen it is neither show n by
j the bill nor contended by the friends of a
general indiscriminate grant of all charters,
with all sorts of privileges, that any body
; else save this highly favored few who have
been so fortunate as to have their names
1 appended as corporators, can by any sort
I of chance or possibility be in any way ben-
I etitted by the granting of this charter,
with all their concomitant privileges.
I wonder they had not asked State aid,
as the object seems to be to develop© the
resources of what they please to term Cher
i okee, Georgia. I presume they have learn
ed a lesson from the story of the fellow
who made two licks to cut otf his dog’s
tail. He thought it would not do to cut
it all otf at once- —it would hurt too bad,
and the poor fellow might bleed to death
besides. But just as sure as you grant
this charter legalizing a set of trespassers
to do as they please with other people’s
property for their own exclusive benefit,
that if they are too modest to ask State aid
now or hereafter, those whose lands and
property are trespassed upon will be here
for the balance of time, knocking at the
door of your treasury for remuneration—
asking to be reimbursed for damages sus
tained by the hands of this Company,
whom the Legislature of your State has
created and invested with the power to
damage them, and. left them remediless
before the courts of the country. And
should they at some future clay call upon
the LegieJcitmv> of €h?u igla ITn dace aid,
with clear cases well made out, however
skeptical I may be considered upon that
subject, with the obligation of an oath as
a Senator of Georgia resting upon my
conscience, rather than repudiate an obli
gation of my beloved State, it would be
one of the times, however much I oppose
the principle, that 1 should be compelled
to vote State aid.
Mr. President, I am no demagogue, if I
! know myself. Ido not pander to the pop
ular will of the people ; but when I know
my duty I will try to do it, and whether it
shall be my lot to “sink or swim, live or
die, survive or perish,” J expect to make
it my business in all proper places, and on
all proper occasions, to oppose with manly
firmness all these little one-horse institu
tions gotten up to benefit the few at the
hands of the many.
I do not oppose the granting of bank
charters in localities when they are needed,
when properly restricted. Always be cer
tain, however, to put in the charter the
personal liability clause, and say in addi
tion, that their liability for the redemption
of their bills or the payment of their debts
shall not cease upon the expiration of their
charters ; that they may establish branches
or agencies, but that those branches or
agencies shall redeem the hills they put in
circulation at said branches or agencies ;
that they shall not receive a greater rate
of interest than seven per cent, per annum ;
that they shall not shave ] aper at home
nor abroad ; cause them to make their an
nual and semi-annual reports as now re
quired by law ; allow them to extend their
issues five to one if you choose, and no ob
jection. Charter railroads wherever they
can he made to pay, and benefit our own
people, and our own State, but let them
be built by individual enterprise and paid
for by individual capital, and keep your
State aloof from all hazardous risks in all j
such enterprises. Incorporate your cities,
towns, villages, seminaries of learning,
thurche* and camp grounds, a few insu
rance companies, and you have incorpora
tions enough to answer all the ends for
which they were originally designed.
And here upon this floor to-day, in ik p
session of eighteen hundred and fitty-eight,
in this the nineteenth century, I make the
prediction that unless this mania is check
ed, that the day is not far distant when
the people in this country, like those of
Europe, will feel themselves so aggrieved
by a misplaced confidence in their public
servants that their railings will he heard,
and their demands for a return of justice
must be heeded.
The Anglo-Saxon blood that moved the
Patriots of Seventy-Six to valor and to
victory u not yet extinct, and though it
did flow freely in those days that tried
men’s soul’s, there is enough lett ot the
same sort, and knowing our rights we will
dare maintain them, regardless of conse
quences.
THE tPsOtf PILOT. THURSDAY >IORAiJ\G, JANUARY 13, 1859.
A Railroad from Columbians. C.,
to Augusta, Ga.
The Soutli Carolina legislature, at its re
cent session, granted a charter for this road,
j a correspondent of the Richmond (Va) Dis
i patch says in regard to it:
“The charter for a road from this place
to Augusta was granted, so that nothing
now remains but the forty miles from Dan
ville, Va., to Greensborough, N. C., to es
tablish an “air line” from Richmond to
Augusta. ’ That line would sweep the trav
el. Passengers generally from New Or
leans, Mobile, and all the southern States
except Florida, would come into your city
over the Danville road. I learn that the
committee on railroads in the North Caro
lina legislature will report against the Dan
ville and Greensborough connection, but it
is thought the report will be rejected and the
charter granted,”
The Dispatch , in commenting upon this
subject, makes the following editorial re
marks :
Only a Little Gap Remains. —Our Col
umbia correspondent informs us that the
South Carolina legislature, at its session
just concluded, passed a bill incorporating
a company to construct a railroad Jrom
Columbia to Augusta Georgia. Thus then,
we have only the little gap of some thirty
five miles between Danville, Va., and
Greensborough, N. C., to fill up, in order
to finish the great controling route ot trav
el from North to South. That this gap
will be filled up, we have not a doubt. To
prevent it, is an impossibility. I lie North
Carolina legislature may delay it, but it is
to be hoped that that body will be govern
ed by a liberal view of the policy of the
State and its international relations, and
no longer postpone an event which is itself
inevitable. Without the completion of
this link in North Carolina, the shortest
and most popular route will be unfinished,
and there will not be though that State
any line competing seriously for the south
ern travel with the line through East Tenn
essee and South-western Virginia. To
maintain such a route within her own lim
its, and ensure the prosperity of her cen
tral road, she must consent to the filling
up of this little gap.
To maintain a prosperous through route
in the western part of North Carolina, will
be to give that beautiful country a fame,
and spread abroad a knowledge of* its re
sources that must contribute immensely to
its population and development. It would
throw a bright light into that naturally
highly favored region, and bring to view
its riches, so long bidder?from the world.
No serpentine and lengthened communica
tion can confer such a benefit—can alford
such a stimulus to the resources and
growth of the State.
Measures are in progress to still further
facilitate and shorten this advantageous
route, which so commends itself to the
traveling public, and which deserves such
favorable consideration at the hands of the
people of North Carolina. The Baltimore
and Potomac railroad will be built. This
will but strengthen the line, that cannot,
even* without it, be successfully assailed,
and which must ultimately be still furth
er fortified by diverging lines in western
North and South Carolina.
Bank of Alorgan-A Swindle,
Editor Chronicle & Sentinel.—
Dear Sir: —You will place the people of
Georgia and the neighboring States, under
an additional debt of obligation to you for
exposing a worthless currency—by inform
ing them where located, and what respon
sibility there is in the Bank of Morgan. I
enclose yotl a Five Dollar Note of its cir
culation, which has been in the possession
of a gentleman for six months without his
ever being able to ascertain where the Bank
is located. I trust you will allude to the
matter, and thereby save the people from
farther imposition. Yours, respectfully,
Augusta, Dec. 28, 1858. C. A. R.
Remarks by the Editor. —The charter
for the Bank of Morgan, is one of that
large brood of Bank charters, ushered into
existence by those famed currency-tinkers,
the Georgia Democracy, in the Legislature
of 185b’. Morgan, is the county-site of
Calhoun county, where they have about as
much use for a Bank as on the Cura bee
Mountain, or the middle of the Okefeno
kee Swamp. But the currency-tinkers
thought otherwise, and granted a charter;
whereupon some Wall street thieves and
swindlers, without any organization, or e
ven the possession of the charter, issued
bills, and got one of those reliable \Yall
street Bank Note Reporters, to announce
the Bank organised on a firm foundation,
and the bills worthy of credit ! There was
never any attempt to organise the Bank
under the charter, and the bills issued are
entirely worthless. There is no such Bank
in existence.
The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer of De
cember 24th, comes to us graced with the
salutatory of Jere Clemens, who has as
sumed ill? control of its editorial depart
ment. We have already spoken of Air.
Clemens’ ability and eitgance as a practis
ed and well-informed political writer. His
salutatory is a formal declaration of “*ar
upon the misnamed democracy. The terms
of the battle are thus succinctly stated :
“In battling against tl e misnamed de
mocracy, I shall certainly use every fair
and honorable weapon within my reach.
I shall endeavor to show that the democ
racy of this day, is not the democracy of
Jefferson, or Madison, or Jackson ; and
that those who claim to be their followers,
have inherited neither their public virtues,-
nor their political sagacity. Taking the
Cincinnati platform as the authorized ex
position of democratic policy (at least un
til they build up anew one) —I shall hold
them accountable for the evils that have
grown out of it, and for those that are yet
to come. But Ido not propose to pursue
them beyond a just accountability ; nor to
impute to them offences of which they arc
not guilty; nor to degrade an open and
manly Warfare, by fishing up opprobrious
epithets, from the sewers of the vocabulary,
to hurl indiscriminately at all those who
may happen to differ from me in opinion.
I believe that the strongest force of argu
ment is perfectly consistent W ith the mild
est form of language, and that it is not at
all necessary for a partizan Editor to for
get that he is also a gentleman. Neither
to oiler, nor to tolerate a wanton indignity,
is the true rule, in editorial, as well as in
social life. At least that is my opinion ;
and those who know me need no assurance
that I will act up to it.”
This is fair, plain, honest and chivalrous.
We would fain see partizan newspapers ev
erywhere conducted upon such principles.
Mr. Clemens proceeds to designate the dif
ferent kinds and phases of Democracy a
gainst which he shall wage battle. In his
hand the pen is a bright and trenchant blade,
which will make sad havoc among the fal
lacies and follies of Democracy.
Robert Burns’ Birthday.— We un
derstand that the Hon. James A .Pearce,
United States Senator, and the Hon. James
L. Orr, speaker of tlie House of Repre
sentatives, have been solicited, and have
accepted, the invitation of the Burns’ Club,
in tliis city, to preside at the centennial
celebration of the birthday of Robert Burns,
on the 251 li’ of January next. We believe
Mr. Pearce is a lineal descendant of the
bouse of Ruinsey, represented by Lords
Dalliousie and Panmure, two eminent Brit
ish statesmen. Mr. Orr is Scotch and Ir
ish in descent, and fully appreciates the
poetical genius of Scotland’s great bard.
Sir Archibald Alison, the historian of
Europe, is to preside at a similar celebra
tion in Glasgow, and Lord Macaulay, the
historian of England, will preside in Lon
don. The versatile Lord Brougham does
honor to Scotia’s peasant bard and will
preside at the Edinburgh festival.
No one who participates in this festivi
ty can expect ever again to witness anoth
er. Preparations are making wherever the
English language is spoken to do honor to
the author of “Tam O’Shanter,” “Man
was made to Mourn,” and “A man’s a
man for a that,”
Cols. William and James Burns, sons
of the poet, are to be present at the Dum
fries celebration.
