Meeting of the Stockholder* of the Brunswick
and Florida Railroad.
Brunswick. (Ga ) June 23, 1853.
A meeting of the Stockholders of the Brun
swick and Florida Railroad Company was held
this dav. at 11 o'clock, in pursuance to public
notice, for the purpose of electing a Board of Di
rectors for the ensuing year, and of transacting
any other business that might be presented.
On motion of Hon. Levi J. Knight, Doctor
Thomas B. Winn, ot Thomas countv, was ap
pointed Chairman, and Henry G. Wheeler, of
New York. Secretary.
The meeting having been duly organized, the
reading of the Renort of the Board of Directors
was called for. and was read by the Secretary,
as follows:
The Board of Directors of the Brunswick and
Florida Railroad Company, avail themselves of
this, the first Annual Meeting of its Stockhold
crs. to submit to their view the results of the
operations of the past year, together with such
information as they possess in regard to the con
dition and prospects of this Road.
In the prosecution of their labors, the Board
have encountered difficulties which could nei
ther be foreseen nor provided against, but which
are now happily removed.
It was scarcely to be anticipated, that an en
terprise so comprehensive and important in its
character, conflicting by recessity with many
estab’isbed interests, and calculated in a materia'
degree to change the well settled channels of a
prosperous and lucrative trade—should not be
viewed with distrust and jealousy bv some other
portions of the State. The Directors have not
been insensible to the existence of these feelings,
nor to the bitterness of the spirit in which they
have been manifested. But they have not been
turned one hairs-breadth from their purpose by
any of these considerations. Looking steadily
forward to the accomplishment of the great trust
which had been confided to their hands, inflexi
b'e in their resolutions to finish the work, against
all opposition and in defiance of all obstacles,
thev have moved forward in the straight line of
their dutv, content to remain silent under grom d
less imputations, false charges and calumnious
assanl's. so long as silence remained an honor .-
ble alternative
That time has now passed, the reckless hos
tility manifested towards us has at length as
sumed an imposing foim, from which the com
pany cannot avert its gaze, and which should no
longer be suffered to pass without rebuke. Fore
most in this unscrupulous warfare has been our
sister city of Savannah—a city, which from her
wealth and resources, might at least have af
forded to he just, if she had not the magnanimity
to bn pi-n'rnut To her instrumentality are to
be s*ttr»b'i‘"d in a great measure, the difficulties
and impediments which have obstructed our pro
gress down to the present time. Her public
press, with honorable exceptions, has by a sys
tematic poliev, misrepresented our objects, im
pugned our motives, and levilpd our enterprise.
Her emissaries abroad have left untried no expe
dient. however unworthy, to subvert our plans,
destroy our reputation, and ruin our credit.—
Th#>v have not been ashamed to represent our
project as an unsubstantial and unreal mockery
—intended to deceive the people whose interest
it affected to foster, and by every species of im
position and fraud, to draw money from their
purses without the remotest prospect of a return.
It is hoped and believed that the sting of the
serpent can wound no more, and that no meas
ures to which the malevolence of our assailants
may hereafter prompt them, can retard our pro
gress further. In this spirit, citizens of Georgia,
the Directors meet you here to-dav.
Shortly af*er the organization of this Com
pany, at a mepting held in Brunswick, on the
17th of June, 1852. the Directors, acting under
the authority of a resolution then adopted, en
tered into contracts with Mpssts. Collins and
Alexander, for the construction of the entire
linp of road from Brunswick to Thomasville.
with a branch to Albany, for the sum of ($13.-
000) thirteen thousand dollars per mile, inclu
sive *f some equipments. As soon as practica
ble after the completion of these arrangements,
the Directors contracted throrgh a London firm
with W. Digby Seymour, a member of the Brit
ish Parliament, for fifteen thousand five hundred
tons of Railroad Iron. By the terms of this con
tract. one thousand tons w'ere to be delivered on
board ship at Liverpool, during the month of
October, 1852: and one thousand in each suc
ceeding month thereafter, until the whole quan
tity shot Id have been delivered, and payment
for this Iron was to be made in the bonds of the
Company, issued under authority of Resolutions
adopted bv the Stockholders at the meeting
abo« e referred to.
The contract was sublet by Mr. Seymour to
other parties We have adverted to the insidious
means called into requisition in ordertobreak ud
the p'ans of the Comnany and to defeat all its
negotiations on the other side of the Atlantic.
T'ne first monthly shipment of iron, stipulated in
the contract, was not delivered. A great and
sudden rise of the price of iron had taken place
shortly aftet was made,and this fact,
added to the difficulty which Mr. Seymour al
leged to exist in procuring from his sub-contrac
tors a punctual de'iverv of t,h® rails, was pleaded
bv him in excuse for the violation of his con
tract.
To repair the injury thus inflicted upon us, at
the very threshold o f our undertaking, and to en
ab'e the Comnany tocarrv out in good faith its
agreement with the contractors, the Directors
without loss of time purchased a quantity of iron
rails in 3oston. which arrived in Brunswick and
are now in progress of being laid down. And it.
mav here N* stated, that a Locomotive and some
car* have also been purchased, and that the ves
sel which conveys them is now on her voyage to
this port.
The contract with Mr. Sevmour still lingered
or- t unfil’fi'led in any of its prrts And on the
first of March, the Board of Directors determined
to delegate the'r President, Mr. Foot, to proceed
to England for the purpose of ascertaining the
cause of the delay, and of making provision for
the delivery of the iron.
On his arrival in England. Mr. Foot, at the
vP r v outset, was met bv embarrassments and
difficulties which would have staggered a mind
less self-dependent. and a spiritless resolute than
his own. He found that Mr Seymour bad de
liberatelv broken the contract made under the
most solemn sanctions of human obligations;
that he had. with the selfishness of a cold calcu
lation, sacrificed the interests which bad bepn
entrusted to his keeping, and that he had com
promised the sub-contract* he had entered in f o
with other parties. In the language of Mr. Foot
“ h» had sold us out and pocketed thp price.”
It is not necessary to follow Mr Foot through
the various phases of his negotiation.
The Dirc.-tors are happy to be able to an
nounce that he has succeeded in concluding a
contract with a highly respectable and honora
ble house for the supply of fif s een thousand tons
of rails The first shipment, amounting to four
hundrel and fifty tons s to Ire made in the en
suing month. Tnlv, and the shipments are to
continue monthly, and in equal proportions, un
til the wh V quantity shall have been delivered.
The corr n'etion of the road from Brunswick to
the Sa*illa River, during the present year, i«
thus secured, and it will be carried through
with all p sdble d'apatoh. to Albany and Thom
asville. where a direct communication will be
opened with the Gulf of Mexico.
The Directors would reproach themselves
with a disregard of an obvious duty, if they cl id
not bear their testimony to the zeal, prom
ptitude and abiiity with which, at great sa
crifice to his own personal pursuits a ->d interests.
Mr. Foot has accomplished his mission. It is
believed that, no similar negociation, surrounded
by so many formidable obstacles, has ever been
carried to a successful issue in the same space of
time.
The directors are relieved from the necessity
of entering into any statements in respect to the
condition and progress of the work upon the
road, by the clear and explicit communication
on that subject, received from the contractors.
Messrs Coilins and Alexander. It is marked A
and intended to form a part of this report. The
Directors invite your earnest attention to this
communication If additional guarantees were
needed of the energy and good faith with which
the work will be carried on they may be found
in the position and character of the gentlemen
who have it in charge and who have raised on
the grandest highway* of the State, monuments
tr. their science efficiency and skill, nor destined
perish with theselves.
■jrhere remain* yet one duty for the Board of
Directors to discharge—that duty addresses itself t
more esj ecially to you. citizens of Geor ia.
. It will be remembered that at the last meet
ing of Stockholders, certain gentlemen repre
sen ting the different counties on the proposed
t'. r > e . ot P' ef, « e d themselves that impoitant
aid in the form of a large subscription, should be
secured.
In all their subsequent movements, the Di
rectors have imposed implicit confidence in the
high honor of those who made this pledge, and
in their ability to redeem it. Indeed, if reliance
is to be placed upon information, in the hands of
the Directors, derived from sources whose credi
bility they cannot question, a subscription ma
terially exceeding any amount at
pledged, will be realized.
It would be superfluous at this time to enter
into any detailed exhibits of the value or pro
ductiveness of our enterpiiseor of the immense
interior resources which this road, in connection
with other kindred improvements, is to lead to
a profitable market. The former Reports of the
Board of Directors have partially surveyed these
grounds j and recent publications from authori
tative sources have supplied any deficiency which
t l ey might have left. The southern and middle
portions of Georgia have too long been shut out
from the commercial facilities which alone were
needed to give them pre-eminent influence an !
prosperity. The absence of these facilities has
clipped the golden wings of your commerce, and
pent up within the narrowest limits the resources
and energies of our people It belongs to you to
redeem yourselves from this unnatural bondage,
to pus your hands to the wheel here, now, to
day, to avail yourselves of the natural advan
tages which lie temptingly spread before you to
secure the harvest which waits only for the reap
ers.
• Your brethren of the North, associated with
you in this great work, have never, for one mo
ment. faltered in their forward movement They
have already paid ten per cent, on the twelve
thousand and fifty shares for which they have
subscribed, and they will promptly meet any
farther assessments which may be required to
sustain the credit of the Company. Reiving upon
your faith and your co-operation therewith they
have pursued tbeirohject. with that unfailing
ertergv which regards nothing as donp, so as
anything remains to be accomplished. You may
not—von can not—vou will riot disappoint them.
They look with anxious concern to the result of
this day’s gathering. They have never doubted
that notwithstanding all oppositon and iri the
face of all combinations, the victory would at
last be ours. And tbev have borne without a
murmur the repea f ed disappointments and delavs
which have attended our efforts, because they
felt that the highest and most durable triumphs
are those which have been achieved by the
greatest atruggles and sanctified by the heaviest
sacrifices.
By order of the Board of Directors.

Brunswick. 20 s h Time,
To the Prindent and Directors of the Florida and
Brunswick Railroad Company:
Grntlemrn : In reply to your enquirv. in
regard to the progress of the work on the R-dl
mad f we can only say, that we commenced the
grading with our company of hands in the
month of November, last year, and fully expecf
ed before this time, to have had several other
companies on the line, hut the work on the f"a
nal which we had previously engaged to do. has
detained our principal force longer than we an
ticipated. and it being now a season of the year,
when planters are engaged in their crops, we
have made no effort to suh-let contracts, hut the
eanal is now being about, completed, which will
«oon give n* the use es that force, and enable us
to place several other companies on the line of
road. We also expect to find othei persons who
will take contracts during the coming fall and
winter, so that we feel safe in assuring you that
s he construction of the road will go with greatly
increased rapidity. We have near about 6 miles
of the road graded, and five miles of'track laid
down completp, with both t'rriber and iron,
and although this is bn f a small portion of the
work, vet whpn the difficulties at the beginning
of such undertakings are considered, we venture
to say. that no road ir. Georgia has ever made
more progress, within the first seven months af
ther its commencement.
The Buffalo swamp which we are now ap
proaching, will create no serious to our
progress. The Engineer (Ur Hines) has found
and located a new line, which relieves that place
from some of the anticipated difficulties, and also
shortpn the main line of road
The sand hills of Wavne. will require consid
erable excavation, but the soil is light and the
work is easy.
The crossing of the Satilla River 129 miles
from this place) is a work of more magnitude,
requiring more time and pxppnse. hut no difficul
ty in effecting it. Beyond the Satilla. we are
not advised as to particulars of the work. The
Engineers who were in charge of that part of
the road, having left no profile of their work
with us. but the general report of the Engineers,
and the general character of the countr are
favorable and we anticipate no serious obstacle
The people of A lhany. hy resolution at a pub
lic meeting, and other sections bv private letters,
have expressed a strong desire, that the work
should also he commenced at the upper end of
the line, and to which we yield our hearty con
currence. and as soon as the Engineer depart
ment is arranged for the superintendence of that
part of the road we shall offer contracts over
♦he whole line, both tp Thomaevil'e and Albany.
We have reason to suppose tha v the connrncnee
ment of the next year will bring a sufficient
force on every part of the road +o insure j+scom
plefmn, within our contract time, say Ist July.
ism
We have great confidence in accomplishing
everything we have undertaken or promised, hut
it w<--uld he much more «a+t«far*orv to all parties
to PTrhihit from time to time, the road itself and
the work really done, instead of paper statemants
of what we expect t 0 do.
Very Respectfully, vonrs, &c„

23d June. Bipce writing the above, we have
gnh let 12 miles of grading and timber in the
County of Lowndes, and it is prohahle that a r«n
*ract will soon he made for another section of 12
miles. We are aI«o in negotiation for the work
on other sections with other parties. R. 0.

Fine Wheat.
We have received and examined the two
heads of Australian Wheat mentioned in the
following letter which we take the liberty of
publishing. The Wheat comes fully up to the
description, it being superior in appearance and
in the size of the grain, to any we remember to
have seen.
The general use of this Wheat for seed will
add much to the wealth of wheat growers, and
if Mr. Dickson has any lor sale, he can proba
bly get a good price for it.
Covington. June 29, 1853.
Mr. Editor :—Your taking so much interest in
fine headed Wheat as to copy in your paper the
account of a head of Wheat sent from Alabama
to the Editor of the Banner , at Abbeville Court-
House,containing 108 grains, I have concluded to
send you two heads containing 132 each, as near
as I can count. You will please rub the Wheat
out of one of them and count the grains. You
will observe the grains from one of the meshes
(4 grains) are rubbed out, which was done by ac
cident ; you had best rub out the other.
This Wheat is from Australia, and bears that
name.
Alabama is a little behind Georgia in fine
headed Wheat.
I sowed in drills of 2i feet wide in the rows*
very thin, one pint of this Wheat on one-sixth
of an acre of land,about the middle of November
last—lt grew about 5 feet high, producing 8.738
pounds in the bundle, equal to 4.428 pounds per
acre, and 31 bushels Wheat, equal to 21 bushels
per acre with not more than one-fourth of a
stand I have no doubt but 50 to 60 bushels
per acre can be made with this Wheat. I am
satisfied it will double the common Wheat on
rich or poor land. I believe it will produce as
much per acre as corn. It does not appear to
beany more affected by the fly or rust than
Barley. Yours truly, D. Dickson.

Destructive Hail Storm.
The Thomasvi le (Ga.,) Watchman, of the
28*h nit..says:
A hail storm passed over a portion of this
county on Saturday evening last, doing serious
damage to crops Fortunately it was not very
extensive, but most, destructive in its course, both
corn and cotton bping totally ruined. The
s*ones were from the size of a bullet to a hen’s
egg, and covered the ground to the depth of ten
inches. On the premises of Mrs. Dekle, some
five or six miles from this place, it was washed
up against the fence to the depth of three or four
teet.
*■ We are informed that the corn and cotton
fields over which it passed, are perfectly bare,
scarcely a sian of vegetation being left. The
Messrs. Pughs. Jordan, Mitchell, Mrs. Dekle and
Mrs McKinnon, so lar as we have been able to
learn, are the greatest sufferers. The hail was
accompanied by a considerable wind, which did
much damage by blowing down fencing, trees,
etc. Chickens, geese, ducks, pigs, &c , were
killed. This is the severest hail storm ever
known in this section.”
Knoxville and Charleston Railroad.
The amount of stock necessary to secure the
charter has been secured in Knox and Blount
counties, and the company organized by the
election of a Board of Directors. W. G. Swain,

Coffin Secretary, and Dr. Samuel Pride, Treas
urer.
The Knoxville Register of the 20th ult.
sa y S :— V VVe are informed that the 6toek taken
by citizens ol Knox and Blount counties amount
to one hundred and seventeen thousand dollars.
The counties of Knox and Blount have already
subscribed two hundred and twenty thousand
dollars, and the state grants eight thousand dol
lars per nlile for ironing and equipping the road.
This makes seven hundred thousand dollars to
wards the construction and equipment of the
road. We hope the company will put the work
under contract immediately, and push it forward
energetically.

Knoxville and Louisville Railroad.
An interes ing meeting was held in Louisville,
Ky., on the 24th of May, of parties desirous of
a railroad connection between that city and
Knoxville, Tennessee.
The Special Committee, appointed for the pur
pose, made an able and interesting report, from
which we extract the concluding portion :
In conclusion, the committee have thought
proper to make the subjoined statements with
reference to roads commenced, under way, and
completed, on Southern Atlantic slope with
which the Louisville end Knoxville road, when
constructed, will connect this city :
The E- st Tennessee and Georgia Railroad is
completed to Loudon, which is 28 miles south of
Knoxville, and cars from Augusta. Macon, and
Savannah, and from the largest inland towns of
Alabama, are daily arriving and departing. In
12 months this road will be completed to Knox
ville. From Knoxville northeasterly to the
Virginia line expends the East Tennessee and
Virginia roads. 12 miles, and all of which is un
der contract and in rapid progress ol construc
tion. At the line. Virginia will connect a road
from Lynchburg 204 J miles; more than one*
third of this route is now in operation, and the
remainder is being pushed forward to completion
with great energy.
From Lynchburg there is now a railway con
nection provided for the Norfolk and Richmond,
and to Alexandria and Washington City Wash
ington City. Lynchburg. Knoxville, Dalton, and
Selma, Ala., are upon nearly a direct IWe be
tween New York and New Orleans, and the
chain of roads passing through these points will
not vary at any point over twenty-five miles
from an air line.
At C’eveland. Tenn.. 80 miles below Knox
ville, the East Tennesse and Georgia road
branches. Easteily forks runs to Dalton, Ga.,
and there connects with the Western Atlantic
or State road of Georgia, leading to Atlanta,
Ga. Three separate roads connect at this point
the first to Montgomery, Ala. 185 miles com
pleted. From Montgomery to Pe' sacola, on the
gulf. 170 miles, a road is now under contract,
the 2d, to Macon and Savannah. 292 miles com
pleted and in operation ; the 3d, to Augusta, Ga .
and Charleston, S C., 306 miles. A read is
projected to connect Dalton with the Alabama,
and Tennessee river or Selma road, or Jackson
ville, Ala , the distance is 80 miles, and the
route favorable, and there is every rea;on to be
lieve this road will be under contract within
twelve months.
The Westerly fork- from Cleveland leads to
Chattanooga, Tenn.. 30 miles. This road is not
vet in operation, but being light work, it will
be completed as soon as the other connecting
roads. By means of this a direct connection is
formed with the Nashville and Chattanooga
road, and also, with the Memphis and Charles
ton road, and through the Memphis and Charles
ton with the Mobile and Ohio, and with the
Nashville and New’Orleans roads. These roads
are all either completed, or in rapid progress.
The distances from Louisville to the following
prominent points made accessible by the con
struction of'he Louisville and Knoxville road,
are as follows—the time is made out assuming
as speed of 40 miles per hour:
Louisville to Knoxville 220 miles 7 hours.

Tho Crops.
The Marksville (La.) Villager, of the 11th
iust. says:
The planters do not grumble, and we therefore
surmise that the fine showers of rain of this
week have still improved the luxuriant crops of
this fortunate spot in Louisiana, denominated
Avoyelles.
The Concordia Intelligencer, of Saturday last,
says :
The weather is quite Warm as usual about the
last of June, and somewhat showery. Thpse
showers are not very extensive and are quite
unequal in their distribution. In our neighbor
hood especially the drought has occasioned much
uneasiness among the planters respecting their
crops. We had, however, a refreshing shower
here yesterday morning.
The Bayou Sara Ledger, of the same day,
says:
We are suffering greatly in this section for
want of rain. With the single exception of a
little shower, hardly sufficient to lay the dust,
w T e have had no rain here for about six weeks.
The com and cotton crops are suffering on ac
count of the drought.
The Baton Rouge Gazette of the same day
says:
During our recent hastv trip in the northern
part of th s parish. we noticed some crops, por
tions of which we r e almost perishing for the
want of rain. W** are informed that all the
crops in that section of the country were suffer
ing greatly from drought.
The Franklin (St. Mary’s parish) Banner of
Thursday last says
The health of the parish is extremely good—
the stubble rane never more promising than at
r»r'sent, though the plant cane is somewhat in
ferior—and the corn crop generally is not worth
a d—n. The weather is hot, dry, dusty, and
even the nights beautiful though they be, nnder
the regency of a full moon and cloudless skies,
are close and oppressive.
TheThibodaux Minerva of Saturday last says:
We have taken some pains during the week
in collecting information in regard to the growing
crops, and from all the reliable informaiion we
can gather, we hesitate not in stating that the
prospects so far for fair average crops of cane
and corn are quite flattering. The cane crop,
which unto within a week or two past was
somewhat backward, has greatly improved of
late in consequence of rain, which w-as much
needed. The corn crop promises finely, and
should no unusual cause intervene before it shall
arrive at maturity, thp quantity produced will
be abundant and quite sufficient to meet the de
mand. The crops of onions, Irish and sweet
potatoes are very promising, and our small farm
ers will he enabled to realize a living from the
fruits of their industry, should nrices continue to
hold a near proximity to their present scale.
Rienzi nlantation, belonging to Messrs Mitchell
and Egana. one of the largest in the State, are
represented to us as being by far the most ad
vanced of any in this vicinity. The cane crop
on this place consists of one year old rattoon and
plant; and the number of hogsheads to be made
the ensuing season will exceed perhaps twenty
three hundred.
The Plaquemine Gazette, of Saturday last
says:
We have had a number of fine copious show
ers during the past week, w’hich we hope will
have a tendency to do a vast amount of good to
the ernpg.
The Darlington, S. C., Flag, of the 30th ult.
says :
A delightful shower visited this region some
day 6 ago, and was welcomed with joy and grat
itude by man, beast and plant. But a few days
of solstitial sun have sufficed to re-establish the
w ithering dominion of drought. The corn crops
are wftout exageration. threatened not only with
irreparable injury, but ab olute destruction. The
cotton crop in the upland sections, has been
doing well, but begins to be dwarfish. It can
not attain the proper fruit bearing stature with
out rain : and from the quantity of manure
which our enterprising farmers apply, it must
be subjected to the most disastrous loss by shed
ding off in consequence of excessive rapid growth
of weed, whenever the rains shall come at a
later period *
We understand that the plantations on the
river, both in this and the adjoining districts,
present an almost hopeless aspect. There has
been no rain to bring up the colton, and whole
acres are seen without a sprig of ve°etation. —
We trust a kind Providence may yet come to
their relief. We see from our exchanges that
this calamitous drought is almost co-extensive
with the cotton growing region.
The YorkviUe, S. C., Miscellany, of the 29th
ult., says;
“ Dry and hot!” is the universal cry. Our
farmers we complaining considerably about the
want of rain, and unless we have a “ season ” in
a short time, the failure in the corn and cotton
crop will be equal to that of ’45. We have not
bad a thorough soaking rain, immediately in the
village, in near two months, and there is no vis
ible prospect at present of any change for the
better. The diarrhoea is very prevalent in our
midst, and in some cases has proved fatal.
A letter to the editors of the Chester, S. C.,
Palmetto Standard, from a friend residing in
Floyd county, Georgia, written under date of
the 24th, gives the following account of the pros
pects of the crops in that section :
“We are suffering for want of rain ; in some
portions of the State more than in others. Since
cotton was planted we have had only one rain
that wet the land sufficiently deep to plough.
1 he prospect is rather gloomy ; but with tbe sur
plus of old com 1 think we can with light sea
sons make a sufficiency of grain and perhaps
some to spare. The wheat crop has turned out
pretty well. Cotton is small and late.”
The Raleigh, N. C., Register, of the 29th ult.,
says:
These trite subject* meet a notice from every
quarter, but those who are roasted with the
heat and stifled with the dust have a right to
groan and grumble. ‘ Our suffering is intolera
ble.” For weeks and weeks, the same bright
sky has g'ared upon us. and the thirsty earth
gasps for moisture. Vegetation is parched and
wifflering, and the hopes of the farmer hang upon
a thread. True, » glorious wheat crop has been
garnered, which dispels the fear of famine ; but
oats have been abandoned as unfit to cut, and
corn is beginning to show the effect of protract
ed drought. Tobacco planters complain bitterly
of scarcity of plants, and inability to get a stand.
Cotton has moie elements of vitality in it, than,
perhaps, any other crop, and in this State there
is as yet no ground for alarm
It would surprise many, who go north for
summer recreation, who hope to enjoy cool
breezes and exemption from heat, to learn how
much more intense the heat is in the Northern
cities than here at thp South. In New York
city the coroner is engaged from morning until
night, in inquests over the bodies of those who
have been stricken down by the sun, or who
have died from the imprudent use of cold wa
ter. while Broadway is daily strewn with the
carcasses of dead horses, which have dropped
under the combined effects of heat and labor.
George A. Cuyler, Esq., was on Wednesday

[communicated, j
Mr. Editor: Sir—ln your paper of last week
you publish a letter of Junius Hillyer, “to the
people of the Sixth Congressional District.” It
is much to be regretted that such a letter should
be published by him at this time. It is evident
ly intended by tbe writer to keep up an under
handed agitation among Democrats in this Dis
trict. Its whole tenor has this tendency—the
shallow pretext and avowal to the contrary not
withstanding. And not only in this District,
but also throughout the State; else, whilst there
are two papers published in his own district
why wish this document published in the Con
stitutionalist, a paper which he knows is not
only read by everybody, but which, from the
candid, faarless, and impartial course, always pur
sued by its high-toned and talented editor, gives
every article in its columns a passport and an in
fluence it could not otherwise have. We have
every evidence in this district that the Democ
racy are thoroughly and warmly united, «nd this
attempt to speculate upon their confidence, peace,
and harmony, will meet with its just reward-
His letter though not long, has in it secede, se
cession. southern rights, fire eaters, secessionist,
southern rights man, &c.. no less than fifteen
times. One of the complaints of the late editor
of the Southern Banner was, that we Union
Democrats would not be liberally dealt with by
Southern Rights Democrats, and yet this is tbe
very first attempt we have seen from any quar
ter. to even allude to former differences for self
ish ends: and doubtless it will be signally
frowned down by a people on whose peace it is
intended to speculate. He says, “owing to the
many misrepresentations that are abroad among
the people, as to my political opinions and pres
ent position, it is necessary that I should address
you,” and after alluding to the past, and 1 what
shall be our future course,’ he says, “ I have de
termined for myself, and it is due to you, and it
is due to me, that 1 should with my characteristic
frankness! avow my determination.”
It is the right of the candidate for the suffrages
of a free people, to address that people, and it is
the right, of the people to address the candidate,
and it is hi.s duty to reply to their enquiries. In
asmuch a* Judge Hillyer has-invited this course
by that pursued by him—l will propose tohima
few questions, which I wish him to answer
with his “ characteristic frankness.” The peo
ple of this district have an interest in not being
*• misrepresented” as well as the gentleman.—
He will therefore be pleased to state what those
*' misrepresentations” are ? By whom have they
been made? and whether or not he has by his
conduct, course and conversation, at different
times, in different places, and to different indi
viduals, induced those persons to form different
opinions in relation to his political views and
position ? Again is his present position , the same
as it was when he was last a candidate, in this—
did he not when in the upper counties of this
district, when he supposed we were so ignorant
that he could operate upon our prejudices at the
expense of our integrity to the constitution and
the Union—when talking of Compromise tell
us that we had nothing to complain of—that it
was to our interest that nigger owners were shut
out from California—that California was open
to us, and that we had no negroes to carry there
—was not this his position then in this section
of his district ? I have been informed that it
was; if so he is unfit to represent this district.—
Whether we own negroes or not, we love jus
tice, equality, fair play and equal rights. Many
of us own no slaves, but we spurn the idea of
drawing lines of distinction between those who
do, and those who do not, own this species of pro
perty, and never will countenance by our votes
the man who would thus throw a firebrand bp
tween neighbor and neighbor—who can suppose
■ t capable of pandering to so vile, so degrading a
sentiment —who for self-promotion, would light
up a torch of civil discord among us, which if
encouraged and cherished would bring the most
sanguinary conflicts to our very hearthstones.
Judge Hillyer’s opponent, General Wofford,
is a man who we all knew, and always know
where to find, upon all questions. He has served
us, and served his State long and well in her
public counsels. His voice has been heard, and
his influence felt, in and upon the legislation of
Georgia. The idea has been sought to be pro
mulgated that he is not polished, not refined enough
to go to Congress. Sir, his friends will to-day
put him side by side with his opponent in any
assembly, before any audience, and challenge a
comparison, for gentlemanly deportment, high
bearing, pure patriotism, consistent policy, sound
sentiment, sound sense and good judgment.
General Wofford has not been operating in a
corner. There stand his official acts and votes
for over a quarter of a century, by which to test
the capacity and sound judgment of the man—
and his friends can proudly challenge a compari
son of his eourse upon all questions affecting the
rights, the honor and the interests of Georgia,
with that of the most able of her gifted sons.
It is true he has been the architect ot his own
fortune, and that fact alone proves that he is
every way a man of no ordinary mould. It is
a duty which the people owe him as a faithful
public servant, w’ho has done much for his State
and his section, to give him this last proof ot
their appreciation of his valuable services
What encouragement have young men to toil
up the “steep ascent,” to take an interest in
preparing themselves to be useful legislators and
politicians, if after all, when they arrive at the
point where they wish to rest, and ask for the
last endorsement of their course, by which they
may leave a name behind them as some slight
compensatian for all their efforts and labors—
they are to be cast off?
This must not, it will not be so The people
know Gen. Wofford : they love him : he is one
of them—and understands well their rights
their interests, and their wants. We need just
such men in the councils of the nation—work
ing men. At the last canvass Judge Hillyer. by
some means, got the nomination, and Gen. Wof
ford was thrust aside. He acquiesced and sup
ported Judge Hillyer. It is to be hoped that
the latter will yet, as an act of justice to Gen.
Wofford, withdraw his name and support him as
he did Judge Hillyer in 1851. Let h m imitate
the noble example of our standard-bearer for
Governor—the Hon. Herschel V. Johnson—
who in the late President al canvass, for the
sake of harmony and strength, and in deference
to the long and able sei vices of Gen. Wofford,
offered to withdraw his name from the Electoral
ticket, and tender his place to that veteran De
mocrat and staunch republican.
Judge Hillyer can well afford to do this. He
is vet young, and has shared largely already o
offices. Union.
Dividend Day.—We have celebrated Palme 1 -
to Day with*more than usual erlat. and we are
about to celebrate Independence Day with still
more imposing ceremonials ; but, yesterday, we
celebrated a day of great financial importance,
and of very general gratulation. The First of
July was Dividend Dav.—a day. which reduced
the coffers of the Banks, to fill the pockets of the
citizens, —enabling honest men to pay their
debts [to the Printer, as well as others.] and dif
fusing money in abundance throughout the com
munity. Our Banks and other Stock Compa
nies. have really done nobly—dispensing liberal
ly, fruits of a prosperous and profitable season,
making the rich richer, and the poor easy,—-en
larging the means of charitable Societes, and
causing the hearts of the widow and the orphan
to sing for joy.
The little bank of Georgetown heads the list
with a dividend ?t, the rate of 16 per cent, per
annum, and the Mammoth Bank of Charleston
holds on at 10 per cent. The Bank of Camden
has run up to 12 per cent., at least 4 or 5 per cent,
more than it ever attained before ; the Commer
cial Bank of Columbia 10 per cent.; the Planters
and Mechanics Bank 8 per cent.; the State Bank
8 per cent.: the Bank of South Ca-olina nearly
7 per cent., and the Union Bank and the S. W.
R. R. Bank, each 6 per cent. The South Caro
lina Railroad Company continues at 8 per cent.;
and the Charleston Gas Light Company at 10
per cent.; and even the South Carolina and Char
lotte Railroad Company has declared its first
dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum.
These are indeed u piping times of peace”—we
are truly in “ a high and palmy state,” proving
our iron age to be more than an equal to the
golden age of antiquity.— Charleston Courier , 2d
instant
Factory Destroyed by Fire.—We have
just learned that Bowen’s Factory. Carrol! coun
ty, was destroyed by fire Wednesday night last.
We understand that all the machinery, goods,
cotton, out houses, store house, and everything
connected with the factory were totally des
troyed. We have no doubt it was the work of
an incendiary, as from what we have learned of
the Messrs. Bowen, heretofore, of their strict
caution and management about the Factory, to
guard against fire, it was almost impossible for
it to have been the result of accident. The loss
will not fall short, we are credibly informed, of
535 000, and no insurance. Messrs. John and
Kit Bowen, we learn, were the sole proprietors,
and in these hard, dry times the loss would
prove a serious one to the most able.— Neunan
Banner, Ist inst.
Returned —Pierce, who killed young Argo,
some 12 months ago in this place in a drunken
frolic, and who made his escape, returned a short
tfffie since, and voluntarily gave himself up to
the custody of the Sheriff, and is now in jail to
stand his trial. It seems that after travelling
extensively and shifting himself from place to
place in the vain hope of “ quieting his troubled
conscience ” he determined to return at all haz
ards, and stand his trial. As such cases are of
rare occurrence in this blood thirsty murderous
age. we deem it not nn>« orthy o f notice among
the passing events of the day.— lb.
No Rain.—With the hope of being able, from
week to week, to announce the visitation of
rain to our parched earth and withered crops
and gardens we have not noticed the drought
which has prevailed and is now.' prevailing ex
tensively in all this section as far as we have
learned, almost wi'hout exception. We have
had no rain to do any good to the growing crops
for weeks, and unless we have thorough wet
ting, soaking rains in a few days, the corn and
cotton crops will be entirely cut off In con
nection with this, the weather is excessively
warm, and the heat oppressive—the thermome
ter ranging from 90 to 95.— 1 h.
