New York, Nov. 17. —The steamer Arabia has arrived, bringing Liverpool dates of Novem ber 5. The Arabia brought 134 passengers. The clipper ship Challenge had put into Fay al, leaky. This is the vessel whose captain was lately so ill while at the Chincha Islands. The latest accounts from the Principalities state that Bucharest and other cities had been placed in a state of siege. Any one found in correspondence with the Turks will be sbot. The Turkish fleet left the Bosphorus on the 23th tor the Black Sea. Rumors of a pacific termination of the diffi culty were current. It is said that a conference of the Powers in reference to the future pros pects of Turkey would be held at London. It was also said that Austria would resume medi ation, as she said that her efforts in favor ol a pacific termination of the difficulty will not be fruitless. The Eastern Question. —Reliable intelli gence fiom the East was very scanty. It was true that the Turks had crossed the Danube and occupied Kalafat, and it was reported that the Russians had repulsed them near that place. Fighting in Asia was also reported to have taken place. The mountaineers of Circassia and Daghistan had defeated the Russians and captured some of their boats. Prince Paskiewitch has set out to take com mand of the Russian army in the Principalities. It was now stated positively that the Austri an Envoy has pressed on the Sultan to accept a new note, which the Czar had approved on the condition that it was accepted by the Sultan without modification. The efforts of diplomacy were now directed to securing the joint assent of the Sultan and Czar to that note. There was talk of opening the Turkish loan in the United States. The allied fleets were collecling in the Sea of Marmora, having been dispersed by a storm. Latest and Highly Important from the Da nube. Liverpool, Nov. s.—By sub-marine telegraph intelligence has been received that fighting be tween the Turks and Russians was proceeding briskly in Wallachia. A body of 2,000 Turks appeared at Giurgeos and attacked the town.— This brought on an engagement with the Rus sian force despatched to the assistance of the place, and great slaughter ensued. Another en counter took place between 4,000 Turks and a like number of Russian cavalry, between Kala fat and Sothia, when the Russians were forced to retreat. England and Ireland.—Great inundations had taken place in the south of Ireland. Much damage was done at Cork. The premises of J. P. Hutchinson & Co., American merchants at London, had been acci dently burned. They were insured. The ship Victoria, which left Glasgow on the *th tor New York, took fire in the river, and was burned to the water’s edge. Italy.—Much alarm was felt at Naples of an anticipated French invasion now that diploma tic relations between the two countries were suspended. Mr. Owen, United States Consul, had arrived at Naples. A naturalized American named Papeir had been kept in custody at Ancona by the Austrain authorities on no charge, except that of enter taing liberal sentiments. The American Con sul had interposed, and, after numerous delays, Papeir was finally liberated. He was. howev er. still kept under serveiliance, because he re fused to sign a declaration that he would never again visit Italy. This seems to be a case de manding the prompt action of the United States. MARKETS. Liverpool , Nov. s.—Cotton is dull and prices irregular, especially for inferior sorts. Prices were however not quotable lower. Sales of the week 32.380 bales, of which speculotors took 4,250 and exporters 4,020 bales. Fair Mobile 6Jd, Middling s}d, closing dull. Stock 706,580 bales. Breadstuff's were in more limited demand at 3d a4d decline in wheat, and Is a Is 6d reduction in flour. Corn quiet and unchanged. White wheat 10s 6d a 10s lOd; red 10s 4d; Western Canal flour 36 a 36s a 6d; Philadelphia, Balti more and Ohio 37 a 37s 6d. Extra Indian corn 465. Havre, Oct. 31.—Sales of cotton for the week 4.000 bales. Stock 64,000 bales. Market quiet. Wheat firm. Flour slightly easier. SECOND DESPATCH. Turkey and Russia.—Omar Pasha, before crossing the Danube, addressed a spirited pro clamation to the army, stirring up their patrio tism and declaring he would “sacrifice his body and soul, to be revenged on the invaders of his country.” He kept bis word as to the Russian evacua tion of the Principalities, and at the expiration of the fifteen days, commenced hostilities in all directions, and in good earnest. During the in terim of fifteen days the Turks were actively employed in transporting troops certain por tions of the Danube, from which they could cross with little further obstacle to the opposite banks held by the Russians. The passage of the Danube by the Turks under command of Omar Pasha was effected without opposition. The reason assigned for the evacuation of Ka lafat by the Russians, was the great mortality which prevailed among the troops in the differ ent camps. It was rumored, however, that the Russians afterwards returned to Kalafat, and in a pitched battle had defeated the Turks. P The main force of the Russians were in posi tion near Bucharest,where several hundred pieces of artillery were-posted, and every preparation made for defence. There were rumors prevalent that Reschid Pacha had retired from the Ministry. In the conflict at Giurgegos, which is stated to have been very desperate, the Turks received the worst of the fight and retreated up the river, closely followed by the Russians. The Turks respect all foreign property under the Austrian flag. Another dispatch from Vienna, byway of Paris’ under date of November 3d, announces that a battle had taken place near Kalafat between the Turks and Russians. The Turks numbered 8,000, and the Russian force was only 2,500. The engagement was a desperate one, and lasted about two hours, when the Russians retreated with a heavy loss. Prince Gortchakoff had left Bucharest for Karaiova. His departure produced a profound sensation. A battle was expected to take place in that direction. Karaiova was full of Russian troops. It was supposed that the Russians would pur posely allow a considerable portion, of the Turks to establish themselves in Lesser Wallachia, in order to bring them to battle as soon as possible ; and as the Russians felt confident of victory, they would, after driving back the Turks, quietly await the settlement of the affair on such terms as the great European powers thought reasona ble. The combined fleets of England and France lie at Lapsa, in the Dardanelles. The Porte had despatched Namir Pasha to Pans and London on a special mission. All the Russian subjects in Turkey are placed under the protection of Austria. A refugee tumult bad taken place at Pera. French and English officers were arriving in Turkey in considerable numbers. The Great European Powers were actively at work to check hostilities. With regard to the new note reported to have been drawn up at the sailing of the Baltic, it is stated that the Czar accepted it on condition that England and France would guarantee the Sul tan’s acceptance, which, however it is under stood those countries declined to do, neither be ing disposed to use coercion. The Czar declared that this would be the last proposition that he would make or accept. A grand council of the Turkish dignitaries it was believed was about to be called together in Turkey to consult on the subject. Omar Pacha’s Proclamation.—The follow ing proclamation was addressed by Omar Pacha to the Turkish troops previous to his crossing |bt Danube: j Proclamation.—lmperial Soldiers: When fiim and courageous, we shall engage the enemy, we will not fly—but sacrifice body and soul to be avenged. Look to the Koran :on the Koran we have sworn You are Mussulmans, and I doubt not you are ready to sacrifice body and soul for your religion and government. But if there be among you a single man afraid of war, let him say so, for it is dangerous to face the enemy with saeh men. He who is under a feel ing of fear should be employed in hospitals or other occupation; but he who remains with us and turns his back on the enemy, shall be shot. Let courageous men, who have long manifested their devotedness to their religion and throne, re main ! Their hearts are united w’ith God, and if faithful to religion they will piove themselves brave. God will assuredly give them victory. Soldiers ! let us purify our hearts, and then put confidence in a God. Let us do battle—- saciifice ourselves like our ancestors, and as they be queathed our country and our religion to us, we ought to bequeath them to our children. You are all aware that the great object of this life is to serve God and the Sultan worthily and thus win heaven J Soldiers, may God protect all who have the honor to believe and serve in these Principal ities. England.—The riots at Wigon had been sup pressed. The bullion in the bank of England had in creased, The effect of the last war news was not known as the usual dispatch was not received from Lon don just previous to the steamer’s sailing. Money was in quick demand, and silver was in great request for shipment to India and China, and the price had advanced. A Floral Festival. Since the Augusta Fair, we have noticed a great many allusions to the very limited display of flowers there exhibited, and also, some very commendatory suggestions as to the means of arousing that interest of flora culture which should belong so peculiarly to the Southern peo ple. We do not think that the State Fair was exactly the occasion for such a display. Hogs, mules, horses, cotton gins, bed-quilts, &c., &c., gave Flora but a poor opportunity to be appre ciated—besides it was not the proper seasonto afford a very abundant display, and no one lelt much interested,piobably,save those w hoe green houses and parterres had received that attention which leisure and wealth only can afford. The spring is the season for flowers—when the woods are green and leafy, when vines clamber up the sturdy tree to exhibit their wealth of fragrance and beauty, and shoot forth their myriad blos soms, fit nestling places for the thousand warb lers to pour their flood of song; all is then life, mirth and gaety. When the gentle water lily rests its delicate head upon the smooth surface of lake or brook, the honey suckle too with its varied hues softening the broken undulations of hill and dale—the odorous sweet shrub, the hare bell, the daisy, the thousand other wild flowers that genial spring calls into life infuses through out all natures bright and buoyant spirts, almost clapping their rosy hands and whispering in per fumed plaadits, the return anniversary of Na ture’s birth. This is the time for a Floral dis play. There are none so rich as to be able to dispense with such delights, none so poor but that they can|revel in the most gorgeous chariot that Floral wealth can construct. But we did not commence this article to etherialise among flowers, so much as to call at tention to suggestions that have been made for the holding, during the spring months ot next year, a series of flowery festivals in the principal cities of Georgia, and extending, if convenient, and our neighbors will join us into South Caro lina and Alabama. The Home Gazette and the Soil of the South, have introduced the subject with such zeal and interest, that we second with all our heart their suggestions. Who will lead off in this matter ? What says Augusta, Savan nah, Macon, Columbia, S. C., Montgomery, Ala. ? We can speak confidently for Columbus. Ihe ladies of our city, we know will respond with that public spirit and appreciation of all that is lovely and joyous, as well as useful, for which they are so eminently distinguished. It is already time that some steps were taken to bring about such offerings to Pomona and Flora, as will be worthy of our clime, and the refinement of our people. Let a flowery holiday be ushered in, and dancing youths and maidens greet in laughing choruses, the rich festival of . garlanded spring, beneath the May pole’s sha -5 dow—and let the old be young again amid mirth , an d merriment. Why may not such festivals . take place—years ago, in “ Merrie England,” . the May pole was erected, andjviHagers flocked l in hundreds to intertwine the rosy wreaths of spring. What can be more refining, more eleva- I ting, more innocently joyous? What do flow ! ers not teach—what lessons of goodness and , mercy do they not suggest—what emblems of ’ innocence, beauty and purity do they not pre sent ? t our voiceless lips, 0 flowers, are living preachers, Each cup a pulpit, and each leal a book.” : Flowers are indeed the “bright stars of earth,” . gems that sparkle in the zenith, and deck the pathway ot life—they are beneath, around and above us, smiling companions wherever we go, > that “give lessons to teach us how to live.” Can leisure then not be afforded to give a “triumph” to those gentle ministers of joy, love and peace ? • —Columbus Times , 18 th inst. [From the N. O. True Delta , 1 6th ms?.] j Tragedy in Real Life—Love and Murder!! [ The stain of blood has again crimsoned our . city’s annals with a*• damned spot,” which will , not “ out ” A man and a woman have fallen . together in the full flow of an ardent and vigo j rous life; while madness and murder have min , gled in the elements of a terrible romance. Fic tion, in her wildest flights, never pictured a - more strange and startling reality than that ; which was yesterday enacted at No. 80 Bourbon j street; and the scene, by those who witnessed it, will not be readily foigotten. But, in the unfolding of our tale, we must begin with the beginning. A young and beautiful artiste, attached to the , corps ot the French Opera in this city, some time [ since formed the acquaintance of a French gen tleman in one of tae cities of the West. The . I t renchman, as was natural, seemed to feel a s | great interest in the rising fortunes of his fair 1 i EventLTlTT’h and Visited her frequently. , i Uons and y thi e °, Ver ardenfc in hisatten -3 yet kdfful hand y T eiked him with 3 yet skuiio! hand. Time passed on. Theladv 1 i and^ er husband—for she was married-started 3 I thl f Cl £ y and arrived here about ten 1 bey took lodgings at Mrs. Smith’s No 80 Bourbon street. A few days Xrwards the r I renchman also arrived and took rooms in the same neighborhood. He soon sought meins of f renewing his acquaintance with the lair canta t f r ‘ ce ’ and ? n federal occasions visited her at her i lodgings- Il ! tl ee d , he appeared to be perfectly : infatuated with her—begged her to sing tor him and praised her music and her charms in the [ ' highest terms of extravagant laudation, j Yesterday at noon he paid his last visit to her ! L Wlth what burning words of melting madness he told his tale ol unbridled love, none now alive ; can say ; but that he did so tell his tale, and re ceive in answer a disappointing negative, can scarcely admit of a doubt. Or, haply, both loved—well—but yet “ not wisely,” and as they could not live together, they determined to plunge | together into the deep abyss of death! But it were vain to speculate: one is already an un honored tenant of the Potter’s Field, and the other is unconsciously yet rapidly passing into that “ sleep which knows no waking.” No cry i j was heard ; no indication of a quarrel; but the reports ot two pistol shots, discharged in quick succession, brought the inmates of the house to u l a i r l ltte * room t and there, such a sight was beheld as made the beholders shrink back aghast. .Near each other, on the floor, the artiste and her tragic visitor were lying, and their blood, which flowed separately for a short distance, mingled at length in one common stream. The man with hoarse groans, was gasping out his life, and a portion of his brains nestled, like a terrible seal of death, on the snow white breast of his com panion. The bullet, it would seem, entered the mouth of the artiste , and passing along the base of the brain, lodged in the neck. She lay speechless on the floor, but her bosom heaved with tumultu ous swellings and she moved at times as if she lelt a sudden twinge of pain. Os her recovery physicians entertain not the slightest hope. ,7 an hour after the fatal shot was fired the sell-destroyer was a corpse. The weapon he had used was a revolver, and well had it per formed its allotted work. An inquast was held on the body of the de ceased by deputy coroner Terrill, and a verdict attributing his death to a pistol shot wound, in flicted by himself was returned. It appears that he first fired at the artiste and then discharged > another barrel of the revolver in his right ear ] He was born in France, but bait lived several years in England. The name he was known by was J. Beltford, and he appeared to be about forty yeats of age. For some time after the tragic occurrence, al ready described, took place, Mr. Sage, the artiste's husband, was absent, and knew nothing of the matter. When he returned and was informed of it, he at first became frantic, after which he fainted away, and was with difficulty restored. “aUgusta, gaT TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22. See first page Daily, this morning. The letter of our Milledgeville corres pondent, containing the proceedings of the Legis lature on Saturday, failed to reach us yesterday morning. The two back Northern mails, came to hand yesterday afternoon. The Public Printing. A Milledgeville correspondent of The Corner Stone , a paper published at Columbus, Ga., and established about a year ago for the avowed pur pose of advocating a dissolution of the Union, has singled out the editor of The Constitutionalist aS an object of attack and insinuation, and has indulged in sundry malevolent speculations as to our motives of action in matters upon which he touches. These we pass in silence. We are beyond the reach of injury from such a source, and are content to leave the public to pass their judgment upon our acts, and the motives of them, without entering into a controversy with our assailant. We can have no feeling but that of contempt for a man, who, on flimsy and hollow pretexts, will conj ire up from his own dark and scheming imaginings, imputations on the motives of one whom he would injure if he couid, but cannot reach in any other than this assassin-like man ♦aer. We simply notice him to place ourself right on a matter of fact. We are not a candidate for State Printer, aor have we ever intended to be, nor have we any pecuniary interest in the scramble for that appointment. Tampering with a Slave. A man calling himself Edward Detrer, about thirty-five years old, and said to be a native ot Philadelphia, was arrested in Savannah on Fri day, for attempting to entice off a negro man the property of Messrs Kelly & Montmollin.— He was taken before the Mayor, and informed by that functionary, that unless he left the State within a given number of hours, he would be locked up for safe keeping. He chose to take a speedy departure, and was escorted by one of the police officers of Savannah as far as Charles ton. Chinese Jugglers. Triis admirable troupe of Jugglers, who have astonished all who have seen them by their won derful performances, made their first appearance at Conceit Hall last evening, and all present seemed much pleased with what they saw. To form an idea of their different tricks in magic, throwing balls aud knives, springing, rolling tumbling, &c., they must be seen to be appre ciated. They give another performance this evening, and we would advjse all to go and see them. The Hall was full last night. There is one portion of the performance, however, we think ' could be well dispensed with. We allude to the brass band being placed inside the Hall.— , They will do well enough out of doors, but their i music is any thing but agreeable within. Each t seems to try which can blow the hardest on his instrument, and they make a beautiful discord , among them. We would recommend a good ’ Pianist—the music would be more acceptable, 1 particularly when ladies are present. South Carolina Railroad.

The present cheap Postage System of the United States, it is alleged, has not come up to general expectation, and there is a probability that some amendments will be proposed at the next session of Congress, increasing the price so that the Department will not be a charge upon the treasury. It is, however, very doubtful if any increase will be made by Congress at this late day. At a meeting of the Directors of the Marino and Fire Insurance Bank of Savannah, held Fri day last Charles F. Mills, Esq., was unanimous ly elected President, in the room of Elias Reed, Esq., deceased. Upon opening one of theiTconsigniHents of gold from California a day or. two since, the offi cers of the Americap Exchange Bank found two boxes which should have contained about $50,- 000 worth of dust fj]led with shot. Where, or by whom the robbery, was perpetrated, remains thus far a mystery.

Mr. Editor: In the letter preceding this, I stated that it was generally believed here that the Democratic party would stand by the nomi nation of the caucus, and, therefore, that Gov. McDonald would probably be elected U. S. Sen ator. The statement was correct. It was con fidently believed and expected that McDonald would be elected on the first or second ballot; but contrary to expectation no election has taken place. While the mass of both parties here as sembled looked forward to the election as a mat ter fixed upon for to-day, and certain to take place, some ot the sachems were engaged in de vising schemes which have produced this trouble in the wigwam. Below will be found the Legislative proceed ings, and that portion of the proceedings in the Senate which appears subsequent to Mr. Single ton’s resolution, is nearly an exact copy of the journal. I have been thus particular in furnish ing your readers with a full and correct report of the action of the Senate, in order that every one may form his own opinion concerning the mo tives of different members. Tour correspond ent, at present, offers no comments, he “doth nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in mal ice.” LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Senate.— The Committee on Internal Im provements through their Chairman, Mr. An derson, reported that (hey had examined the bill repealing the 10th section of the act for the gov ernment of the W. & A. R. R., and amending the 2d section of the same act, and that they re ported the same back to the Senate without the expression of any opinion. Mr. Anderson also reported a resolution in behalf of the same com mittee, to authorize the two committees on In ternal Improvements of the House and Senate, to appoint a sub-committee of three from the House committee, and two from the Senate committee, to examine the Western & Atlantic Railroad, and report thereon to the General As sembly. Two new bills were reported as follows: Mr. Mosely : a bill to incorporate a Bank in the city of Griffin, to be styled the “ Interior Bank of the State of Georgia.” Mr. Hill: a bill to re-enact and declare in full force all acts relating to the incorporation of Monroe, and extend its corporate limits. Mr. Singleton introduced the following reso lution : “ Resolved , by the Senate and House of Repre sentatives, That the resolution heretofore passed, bringing on the election of a U. S. Senator this day, be repealed, and that said election be post poned until the next session of the General As sembly.” Mr. Stephens moved to take up the resolution, whereupon the yeas and nays W'ere ordered to be recorded, and are, yeas, 51; nays, 43. I hose who voted in the affirr native are: Ad ams, Bailey, Beal, Boyd, Br<\wn, of Baldwin, Bullard, Crawford, Crowder, Dawson, Deadwy ler, Delamar, Dixon, of T albot, Drake, Dunna gan, Gresham, Griggs, Guyton, Hubbard, Hull, Jackson, King, Knight, Laughridge, Lambeth, Love, Miller, Moon, Moore, Mosely, McCon nell, McLeod, Morrel, Newson, Pratt, Peebles, Piles, Pope, Ridley, lkobinson, Saffold, Simmons, Siagleton, Stephens,, Stovall, Surrency, Tram mel, Turner, Wilder, Williamson, Willingham and White.

Mr. Stephens moved to agree to the rescdution and on that motion moved the previousque.rtion. Mr. Sturgis moved to lay the resolution on the table for the present. Pending the a message was receiv ed from the House of Representatives, inform ing the Senate 4 ,hat the House was ready to re ceive them for the purpose of electing a U. S. Senator. Mr. Sturgis rose to a point of order—that the motion to kay the resolution on the table takes ’ the precedence of the motion “ for the previous question.” Mr. Clark rose to a point of order—that the hour of 11 o’'clock having arrived, when by joint resolution the Senate and House of Representa tives determined to go into the election of U. S. Senator, the Senate could entertain no motion, , but must repair to the Hall of the House of Rep resentatives. The Chair decided the point of order raised by Mr. Sturgis—that the motion to lay the resolu tion. of Mr. Singleton on the table for the pre sent, takes precedure of the motion for the pre vious question, unless the same was seconded be fore the motion to lay on the table for the pre sent was made. Mr. Miller then mo ved the previous question on the motion to lay the resolution on the table for the present. Before putting the motion for the previous question, the Chair decided first the point of or der raised by Mr. Clark, that the motion to re pair to the hall of the House of Representatives is prior to any other motion. Mr. Stephens ap pealed from the decision of the Chair, and the yeas and nays were called for on this question yeas 46, nays 48. So the decision of the Chair was reversed. Mr. Claik mov ed to proceed with the order of the day, waich was to repair to the Representa tive chamber, fir .r the purpose of electing a U. S. Senator, and insisted that a decision of the Chair be made on tb e point—whether said motion was in order. TKe Chair decided that the same was a privileged question, and takes precedure of all other motior is, previous question included. Mr. Stephens appealed from the decision of the Chair, and on the question whether the de cision shal'l be sustained, there were 45 yeas, 49 nays. So the decision was reversed. The quest ion then recurred on the motion of Mr. Miller ior the previous question, and on the question shall the main question be now put,” the yeas and nays were, yeas 50, nays 44. The pr evious question was then pint, “ Will the Senate agree to the resolution,” whereupon the yeas and nays were required to be recorded and are, yeas 49, nays 45. The yeas are, Adams, Bailey, Bea<l, Boyd, Brown* of Baldwin, Bullard, Crawford, Crow der, Dawson, Delamar, Dixon, of Talbot, Drake, Dunnagan, Gresham, Griggs, Guyton, Hubbard, Hull, Jackson, King.

Those whose votes are not recorded are An derson. Brown, of Thomas, Deadwyler, and Smith. It was then moved that the Senate adjourn until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning, and on the motion, the vote stood yeas 48, nays 46. The Senate, therefore adjourned until 10 o’clock to morrow morning. Messrs. Brown, of Thomas, and Smith were prevented from attending by sickness. Mr. Gaston, I understand, had stepped out shortly be fore, and was not in the hall of the Senate when the vote was taken on the question, “ shall Mr. Singleton’s resolution be taken up ?” A very warm discussion, participated in prin cipally by Messrs. Miller, Sturgis, Ridley, Clark, Hull and Cone arose on the various points of or der mentioned in the above report. The discussion, however, was entirely too ir- regular to admit of a full and correct report. But yet it was instructive, clearly showing the great advantage which a member, well acquainted with Parliamentary rules, has over his antago nist, who is ignorant of them, however full may be his information upon other points, and how ever acute his logical powers. The excitement was intense in the lobby and in the gallery du ring this discussion, for upon the decision of these points, depended the question whether the Legis lature would go into an election for U. S. Sena tor. It is impossible to form any surmise con cerning the time when the election will take place, if it should take place at all during the present session. Gov. Cobb left for home on j yesterday. He continued to urge' upon his ! friends to stand by the nomination. His con duct has been worthy of all praise. Gov.

The bills as thus amend ed were adopted, and the clerk ordered to inform the house of the ; r passage. House of Representatives. —The following new bills wr re introduced into the house, to-day. Mr. Fanning: a bill to make uniform the stan dard of weight* and measures in this state.

Hancock, Ga., Nov. 18, 1853. Mr. Editor :— lt is gratifying to the friends of the Macon & Warrenton Railroad, to learn that : the preliminary survey of the proposed route for this road has been completed, and that we may ■ very shortly expect t.'i see something of an of ficial report from the Engineer, giving the pro bable cost of said road. Much credit is due that gentleman for the prompt and efficient discharge of his duties, and it is to be hoped that the same energy and zeal will charactei ize this movement from this, its incipient stage, to the final comple tion of the road. That it is highly important for this road to be speedily built, is a. proposition that will be readi ly admitted by all who have given this subject a careful considerat ion. Georgia, in developing her resources by Rail roads, very wise ly encouraged their construction 1 by avoiding injitrious competition, which policy is fully recognized, and appreciated, when we see the prosperous and flourishing condition of 1 her two leading lines of road; to which nearly every other in the tributary; the ex* tension of these branches, and the rapidly in creasing demands for transportation on these lines, fully justify the Construction of another road, which is seriously required by the country through which it is to pass. Nor is the existing necessity for this road lessened, when it is a re cognized fact, by the planting community, that the freights, charged on these two important roads, are notv too high, and that it is also lamen tably true, many o' our citizens are leaving the oltier counties to find homes in Texas or else where, and that we may see hundreds and thou sands of acres of exhausted lands in these coun ties, that must be re-claimed, by fertilizers, (which can be used only when transportation is cheaper) ar remain useless for agricultural pur poses, and be as they are, eye-sores for the public gaze, affording melancholy evidence to prove the ruinous and blasting effects of that wretched system of tillage so universal in some of the Southern States. Mr. Editor, will you allow us to ask the citizens, in the counties interested in this road, if they are fully alive to their true in terests in this matter, ready to show that they are not less public spirited and enterprising than their sister counties, who have less age, but have set examples worthy to be followed. Will Charleston and Augusta be wanting, when their ! interest is so deeply involved,—in a word, shall it be ever said, that Georgians commenced what j they failed to finish, —that all will do their duty 1 and this road may be soon completed, is the wish 4 of many.
