Railroad Connection.
J)y reference to another place the pro
ceedings of the Railroad meeting at Tal
botton will be seen. We believe if the
committee appointed will enter at once en
ergetically upon the discharge of duty that
the road will be built. With the aid of
such an intelligent, liberal and working
committee, the word “fail” will not be
found in the vocabulary of those interest
ed in this great enterprise. Let the com
mittee open a correspondence, and each
friend of the road act and speak as if suc
cess rested on his own individual efforts,
and then let a meeting be called at an ear
ly day, and we will hail the result with
pride and satisfaction.
Thomaston Sax liorii Band.
Bv reference to our special notice head
it will be seen that there is a move on hand
to rc-organize this Band. We wish the
worthy gentlemen engaged in this lauda
ble undertaking, the success they merit.—
ftuch a band will be an ornament to our
Town. Let there be a large attendance
to-morrow night.
New Advertisements.
“When you see a man in business who
will not advertise or take a newspaper,
look out for a mean, penurious skin Hint,
too tight to enjoy good health, and who
holds a penny so near his eye that he can’t
see a dollar.”
We would call the especial attention of
our readers to the new advertisements in
this issue. If you visit “The Rock,” be
sure and examine A. J. White’s new and
splendid assortment of goods. Barnesville,
we hope, will also attract your attention.
Should you go there, remember that Na
ture’s Poet says “the apparel ojt proclaims
the man ” and look at C. R. Pringle’s cloth
ing and dress yourself like a liberal gen
tleman. Woodson & Bowdre of this place,
it will be seen, are also receiving their new
supply of Spring and Summer goods. The
low and uinform prices and the taste and
judgment exercised by this firm, are so well
known, that they need no recommendation
and nothing but liberality could induce
them to advertise. Os course when you
visit Thomastou, you will give them a call.
If you have any claim against the Estate
of John M. Hutchison, cast an eye on Mr.
M. H. Sandwich’s notice—or if you desire
to jump into a law suit by trading for notes
for which no consideration has been paid ;
before you do so, just look at U. C. Tig
ner’s notice and beware. If you wish a
supply of good books, Ac., when you visit
Macon, call and see John W. Burke, agent
of the Book and Tract Depository of the
Georgia Conference, Cotton Avenue.

Rail Road Meeting.
Connection of the Muscogee and Thom
asi on <£• Barnesville Bail Beads.
Pursuant to a previous notice, a very
large and highly intelligent meeting of the
friends of the Muscogee, and Thomaston
A Barnesville Rail Roads, assembled in
the Courthouse at Talbot ton on Wednes
day the 23d hast. On motion of Judge Is
aac Cheney of Talbot, G. A. Miller, Esq.,
of Thomaston, was called to the Chair.—
The Chairman explained he object of the
meeting and pointed out the influence ex
ercised by Rail Roads generally , in devel
oping the energies of a people and the ad
vantages to bo derived therefrom in stim
ulate all the industrial pursuits of a coun
try, and the especial necessity and practi
cability of the proposed connection as the
great thoroughfare b< (ween the North and
South. Col. Jack Brown of Talbot, and
Col. Mustian, President of the Muscogee
Rail Road, then addressed the meeting in
a lew practical and sensible remarks. Col.
Mustian stated that the proposed connec
tion would cost about two hundred thous
and dollars, and that a guarantee of 7 or 8
per cent, per annum would be executed to j
the stockholders, if the amount of the os
timated cost of the Road could be subscrib
ed.
On motion of Col. Jack Brown a com
mittee of five persons from the Counties of
Muscogee, Talbot and Upson, was author
ized to be appointed by the Chairman, the
uuty of said committee to be especially, to
■visit the citizens of their respective coun
ties and procure subscriptions, and report
progress at some subsequent time and place
subject to the call and convenience of the
said committee. The Chairman under the
authority of Col. Brown’s resolution, ap

G. A. MILLER, Chairman.
Peace or War in Europe.
The latest Intelligence from Europe is
no more decisive of the question of peace
or war than that we have been accustomed
to receive for two months past. Napole
on, through the Montieur, denies his wish
for war, states the extent of his obligations
to Sardinia, and insists that there is noth
ing unusual in his military perparations
which are going forward, and the journals
which speak for the government, reiterate
the old demands on Austria.
It is quite clear now, from the tone of
these journals, that France will not besat
isfied with the mere evacuation of the Pa
, pal territory, and that she means to insist
on a rigid and complete interpretation of
the treaties under which Austria pretends
to act. Now, these treaties give to Aus
tria the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom—
that fact is admitted and registered ; but
they at the same time recognised and es
tablished the sovereignty and independence
of Rome, Naples, Parma, Tuscany and
Modena, and the princes of those States
have no right to alienate these sovereign
ties. “Austria,” says the Patrie, in a late
article, “has no more right to occupy the
sovereign States of Italy—to garrison their
strong places—to bind their princes to cer
tain modes of government —than France
has millitarily to occupy, and politically to
domineer in Belgium, Switzerland or Ger
many.”
If this is to be the case, either Austria
must make great concessions, or the thing
must come to blows. A correspondent of
the London morning Post says:
“It has been stated here that Lord Cow
ley is commissioned to suggest to the Cab
inet of Vienna—
“l. That Austria should withdraw her
forces from the Roman States, France do
ing the same.
“2. That Austria should renounce all
treaties formed with the Sovereigns of Ita
ly after the great treaty of 1815.
“3. Agreeing to the above, the Great
Powers will secure to Austria her rights to
Lombardy.
“4. Austria under no circumstances is
in future to occupy any State of the Ital
ian peninsula, even if called upon to do so
by the Sovereign of the State. The Great-
Powers will, by a united action, use their
influence to create reforms in Italy, and at
the same time to maintain order.”
By the latest news, it would appear that
Austria is not disposed to enter upon these
reforms; that its Emperor, in fact,encour
aged by the adherence of the other States,
is more and more warlike, and that Lord
Cowley will return “’with a flea in hie ear.”

A Lump of Gold.—A lump of gold,
weighing forty-five ounces, and worth $'775,
was taken out on Sunday, December 15eh,
from Meehan & Co’s claim, in Illinois Ca
non, just above Picker’s Flat, Sierra coun
ty, California. We have known amounts
of gold, not in quartz lump, but in hard
dollars, drawn out of some of our places
nearer home, of a much larger figure.
A few weeks since, a gentleman in St.
Louis dug up $30,000 ; another, in Phila
delphia, the same sum ; another, in New
York, $20,000 ; and many others could be
mentioned. The mine from winch these
large amounts were taken was the celebra
ted Lotteries of Wood, Eddy & Cos., Wil
mington, Del., and Augusta, (fa. By sen
ding a $lO, $5, or $2 1-2, to their Address,
at either place, you secure an interest in a
claim that has yielded a better return, the
past year, to speculat ors, than Pike’s Peak,
or many other celebrated geld mines.—

Later from the Gold Regions.—St
Louis, March 20.—The Salt Lake mail ar
rived at St. Joseph, Missouri, on Saturday.
The Mail passengers report meeting hun
dreds of persons travelling en route for the
gold regions.
The papers report the emigration as be
ing greater than ever known before in this
country.
The news was favorable —theminersma-
king from three to five dollars a day on an
average.
M. G. Ramsey says the country around
the headwaters of the Arkansas is as rich
in gold as the Platte ; besides, it is much
superior for agricultural purposes.
He cautions emigrants against the Indi
ans, who are disposed to be troublesome,
and thinks the Ist of May will be a soon
start.
On the other hand, there are persons ar
rived by the mail, who state that the mines
are a humbug, and there is no money to
be made, and they predict starvation and
death to a large portion of the adventur
ers.

those favorable to this move is earnestly requested.
Grand Jury Presentments.
We, the Grand Jurors, selected and sworn for the
March Term of Talbot Superior Court for 1859, beg
leave to make the following general presentments :
In our County there is almost a total neglect in the
execution of our road and patrol laws. We therefore
call the attention of the proper authorities to a more
rigid enforcement of said laws.
We have by committees examined the books of the
Superior and Inferior Courts and find them, as usual,
neatly and correctly kept; and also the books of the
county treasurer, and find them in like condition. He
lias received for the year 1859 §l,lOB 68 cants, and
paid out $3,804 70, leaving a balance in his hands of
$353 06.
The committee appointed to examine the public
buildings report tlie necessity of some repairs to the
blinds and steps to the Court House. The Jail is in
good condition, but recommend the dungeon to be
white-washed and the repairs of the Court House to be
attended to.
In relation to our public schools in this County, we
recommend the Inferior Comt to appoint Commission
ers to examine Teachers without delay. W'o also re
commend the Ordinary of this County to assess 12 1-2
per cent, on tho State tax to secure the tuition of all
poor children that, may be placed on the list of poor
children by the Justices of the Peace of the different
districts of this County f*>r the present year, and if the
fund received from the State under the act of 1851.
with said tax so to be assessed, should not be sufficient
to pay teachers 7 cents per day for each poor child
taught, then and in that event the Ordinary do apply
bo much of the fund to lie received from the State un
der the act of 1858 as will enable him to pay thou, at
the above rate, and the remainder of said last-named
fund remain in his hands as a poor school fund for the
future.
We have examined into the poor school fund of this
County, and find now in the hands of the Ordinary,
according to his books, thesum of §238 04 of the funds
for the year previous to 1858; and. recommend that he
apply that sum to the debts of teachers now due. He
also reports that the fund received from the State for
1858 is §243 00. The County tax for that jiurjio.se he
reports as not vet received by him.
And as o'Ur business relations with his Honor, Judge
Lamar, is about to close, we cannot take leave of him
without returning our grateful thanks to him for the
zeal and ability with which be lias discharged the on
erous duties devolving on him ns the presiding officer
of the Court. We also tender our thanks to the acting
Solicitor General. W. D. Elam, Esq., for the attention
continually manifested to this body during the jiresent
Term of the Court.
We recommend and request the next Legislature of
our State to pass a special act to empower the Grand
Jury to regulate the license law for retailing spirituous
liquors. And also recommend that a law be jiassed to
prohibit betting on billiard tables, as well as all other
games of chance not already provided for.
Since making out the above report we learn that
some of the Bridges in this County are in bad condi
tion—the one at Ragland & Terry's Mill particularly.
We recommend the authorities to attend to that a* ear
ly as convenient.
