GOD SAVE OUR NOBLE UNION.
It came to us through darkness,
It came to us through blood ;
It shone out like the “ Promise
Os God” upon the flood.
A beacon—it has served us
With true, unerring flame,
And cast a blaze of glory
Upon our nation’s name!
God save our noble Union 1
’Twas left us by our fathers,
Those souls of priceless worth—
The noblest types of manhood
That ever walked the earth.
’Twas bought with fearful struggles,
By sacrifice sublime,
And stands a proud memento
For all the coming time —
God save tke noble Union!
Our land a waste of nature,
Where beast and savage strayed ;
Its wealth of lakes and rivers
Unlocked by keys of trade ;
Then suulike rose the Union —
A terror to our foes—
And 10l this “waste of nature”
Now “blossoms as the rose!”—
God save our noble Union !
Where earth lay hid for ages
In deep, primeval gloom,
Behold a boundless garden —
A continent in bloom !
With iron bands of railroads,
Electric tongues of wire,
Aud energies within us
Which time shall never tire—
God save the noble Union !
But now upon our heaven
Are signs of coming storms ;
And dark, unholy passions
Unfold their hideous forms.
Tbe bravest hearts among us
Are filled with doubt and lear ;
While sounds of horrid discord
Are grating on our ear—
God save the noble Union !
The hallowed flag that bore us
So proudly through the wars—
Is there a hand would sever
Its sisterhood of stars /
Great God! can we so blindly
Cast all Thy gifts away ?
Or throbs there in this nation
One heart that will not pray ?
God save our noble Union!

Defaulting Agents, 18,213.28
Balance es assets, $62,994.44
Os the amounts reported doubtful and unavaila
ble in the Treasurer’s balance sheet, af date of
last reports, I have succeeded in collec ing the
sum $11,139.83 consisting of SIO,OOO, due from
the Thomaston and Barnesville Railroad, and
$1,139.83, from the East Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad Company, with $1,807.10 interest on the
two amounts. The remaining sum of $13,213.23,
consisting of balance due from defaulting agents,
which I explained in my last report, and which
has been carried up to this time in the Treasurers
balance, I have directed charged to profit and loss,
to which account any resulting procoeds will bo
credited.
By authority of the Board of Directors, in Feb
ruary last, I also sold the 60 shares of its own
stock, held by the Company, at the then market
price, 102. The premium S? 100.00 is included in
the interest account ; by this sale the amount ofi
Capital Stock issued was made to balance the con
struction accout.
The insurance, $6,100, on cotton burned in No
vember, 1859, has been collected, and the balance,
$6,372.60 charged to profit and loss, as shown by
the foregoing statements.
The earnings and expenses of your Road, have
both considerably increased over those of 1859,
leaving, however, the net income slightly in ex
cess. The former sharing in the general prosper
ity of the country, till within tbe past three months,
during which, shipments of Western produce have
kept them nearly equal to those of the last year,
while the latter necessarily increasing with the
earnings, have also been charged with certain
extraordinary expenses, which in the opinion of
your resident Directors, and my own, were requi
site for the proper transaction of the Company’s
business. Which are briefly as follows :
The purchase of two Freight Engines to replace
two condemned. The building of two Passenger
Cars in the Repair Shops ; aud tbe expenditures
made in Macon and Atlanta, for the freighting
accommodations at the termini of your Road.
These last improvements have been made at
considerable expense, and at the point, the heavy
produce business of the last three months has
cleanly shown the absolute necessity of the step.—
In Atlanta the new transferring tracks and yar.i
room, have been tasked, to properly accommodate
this same downward business. The new Freight
House has been but partially occupied, owing to
the dect eased purchases of goods by the mer
chants, for the Fall trade, but had they equalled
those of the Fall of 1859, and the Spring of the
present year, its capacity would have been fully
tested. In the Spring many of the goods for
warded lay in the Cars for days, owing to the
want of storage room, and to prevent recurrence
of this, the new house was began in June, when
the growing crop promised fair to rival any yet
produced.
I have been thus minute in stating the causes of
the increased expenditures, as those of tb past
three yeurs have been, notwithstanding the in
creased earnings, so similar in amount, that it
might be thought they were limited in perpetuity.
Such can never be the case with this or any oth
er Rail Road, and although with fair earnings this
Road should continue to be, as heretofore, remun
erative to its Stockholders, yet any attempt to
limit its expenditures must inevitably decrease its
permanent value.
The nature of the revenue of a Rail Road Com
pany, demands that the business offered it shall
be promptly and well done, and to effect this ob
ject ample and liberal equipments are needed in
every department. Extraordinary expenses arise
which must be promptly met, or the business passes
into other channels not easily to be re gained.
It has been my desire, as well as that of the
Directors, who have participated in the manage
ment, to have all renewals in the various depart
ment of the Road, made in as permanent and
thorough a manner as circumstances would allow.
This I am convinced is true economy in Rail Road
management aud, though temporarily increasing
the operating expenses, it yet tends towards ulti
mate reduction.
By the report of the Superintendent, and ta
bles annexed, is shown in detail, the condition of
your property and expenditures on its account.
I can safely say that it fully equals, if not exceeds
in value the Capital Stock representing it, and
that any depreciation has been covered by repairs
and renewals.
Os the Law Suits, pending against the Compa
ny at date of last report, one has been decided
adversely, for personal injuries, alleged to have

Among the names of our State which
tined to become historical, very lew, if iHH|
hotter cn tilled to tfiat distinction, than the
of this imperfect sketch, Chaki es J.
if - character and public sei vices will in st^HH
ture day, no doubt, receive an enduring
In the mean time, it Is with a melancholy pleas
ure, that this brief tribute is offered to a citizen as
much beloved as he was distinguished. Judge
McDonald was born in the city of Charleston on
the 9th day of July, 1798—received his academic
education at Mount Zion in Hancock county, un
der the direction of the Rev. N. S. S. Beman, and
was graduated at the South Carolina College at
Columbia. He studied the profession of law with
the late Hon. Joel Crawford, and entered upon
the practice in the city of Milledgeville. From
thence he removed to Clinton in Jones county,
and thence to the city of Macon, where he resid
ed for many years. After the expiration of his
term of office as Governor of the State, he settled
in the town of Marietta, where he died. Few
citizens of Georgia have been called to fill more
numerous responsible offices, than Governor Mc-
Donald, and not one has discharged public duties,
with more fidelity, firmness, industry and ability.
It is not proposed to write a memoir of his public
life—to recount his services, or to advert, except
very briefly, to the men and events of his day.—
His virtues and capacities as a public man, it is
true, would be most happily illustrated in a review ;
of the times in which he lived, and a notice of the I
men with whom he was associated. All however, j
that is practicable in this article, is an enumera
tion of the offices which he filled, with some illus
trations of his character as a man, a jurist, and a
public functionary. He commenced the practice
of the law, in the year 1818, and in the year 1822,
was elected by the Legislature, Solicitor General
of the Flint Circuit, which office he filled until j
1825, when he was elected Judge of the same Cir- I
cuit. In 1830 be was elected to the House of
Representatives from the county of Bibb. In
1834, and again in 1887, he was returned to the
Senate from the county of Bibb. In 1839 he was
elected Governor of the State, succeeding the
late George R. Giimer. He had been for many
j , i- — t .nj art lian death a Trustee of the State
University—was President of the Nashville Con
vention, and in 1857 was elected to the Supreme
Court Bench. This latter office he held until the
Fall of 1859, when declining health constrained
him to resign. A few months of variable health,
after his resignation, terminated bis career. He <
died at his borne in Marietta, amid the profouud
regrets of a wide circle of affectionate friends.—
His personal acquaintance was, it is believed,
more extensive than any man of his day—his pub
lic character was familiar to the State —his name
had become a household word in the homes of the
people. It is not therefore, too much to say, that
the announcement of his death carried with it a
thrill of anguish throughout the length and breadth
<of our Cormnoawealth.
Physically Gov. McDonald was a noble speci
men of a man ; of medium height, active, muscu
lar. and well proportioned, with a frank, benig
nant face, broad and high forehead, and a carriage
at once dignified and unrepmalye. Nature gave
him just those personal endowments in dispensable
to a life so laborious, and so successful £2 was his.
The simplicity and regularity of his habit*, pre
served his constitution up to a late period, unuc
paired. These, with a cheerful and hopeful tem
perament, carried him through more than sixty
years, with almost th® elasticity and Yigor of
youth.
F.arly after entering upon his profession success
began to demonstrate his capacity as a lawyer.—
Clients were not w-aoting, and his reputation as a
sound, industrious, and faithful practitioner, was
soon established. During tire whole of his life,
except whilst in the Executive <Qbair and upon
the bench, he was indefatigable in pursuit of his
profession. His circuit was extended, and ilk? va
rious engagements involved great energy gfcd
assiduity. Ilis cases were prepared and prosecut
ed with uncommon labor. His perseverenee was
indomitable. He seemed almost incapable of
abandoning a cause. When defeated, his case, if
possible, revived in some new form. His touch
of the-earth, seemed as io the case of the fabled
wrestler, to impart new strength. He was consid
ered, and justly, an eminent pleader—inferior in
fact to no one of his cotemporaries. When the
Governor came to the bar, and for many years
afterwards, the pleadings of the common law, re
lieved, it is true, of something of their subtlety by
our statutes, obtained in the courts of Georgia;
and familiarity with them was an indispensible
qualification. His skill as a pleader is referred to
ae proof of his ability as a lawyer, inasmuch as
it was unattainable w ithout thorough knowledge
of elementary principles. The pleadings in a cause
are a logical statement of the facts with a view
to a clear ascertainment, of the rights of a party.
A knowledge of the principles upon which those
rights depend, becomes essential, therefore to
good pleading. The writer of this article has had
occasion frequently to note, the admirable logic
of Bills in Eqpwtf, drawn by him. His oratory
was not impassioned—nor remarkable for fluency.
His language was pure, for be was a good classical
scholar. His maimer of speaking was rather grave
for he had no excess of imagination. He gave
himself more especially, to the solid matter of his
Subject, whether at the bar or in the Senate.—
Ilis style of oratory was upon the whole, more
forensic than popular. Still his addresses to the
jury were effective, because of his clear percep
tion of the strong points in his case, and his per
spicuous haitdbng of facts. No doubt much of
his success as an advocate, was attributable to his
accurate knowledge of men—his ready insight
into character. Coming into life without the ad
vantages of fortune or numerous connections, he
fought his way to professional and political dis
tinction among the ptriple, and in the midst of
able competitors. It is *d sud 1 * a school, that, in
our country, men learn to great'. It may not
be forgotten, however, by those who should profit
by the example of this gentleman, that th* foun
dations of his reputation were fid in sound pr a ’
ciples—in scrupulous integrity and persevering
industry. Conceding that something is due to
natural gifts and much to education, yet it re
mains as an incontrovertible proposif on, that no
man ever yet became a great lawyer, without
hard work. No one ever achieved judicial re
nown by inspiration, by clap trap prentension or
even eloquence. He who would win the highest
professional honors, and wear them by consent of
his fellows, must, like Judge McDonald, devote
a life time to the enterprise. Asa Judge, his im
partiality was never impugned, and his firmness
never questioned. Like other Judges, including
Mansfield and Marshall, he may have committed
errors, but the profession concede, that be brought
to his judgments, uprightness, and the best re
sources of a strong and well trained intellect.—
ne was not an “oft speaking” Judge but for the
most part silent—patient and courteous. He abid-*
ed authority, believing that rights depend greatlv
upon the permanency and uniformity of the rules
which guard them. He had not the vanity to be
lieve that he was wiser than an hundred genera
tions that preceded him, or that a principle was
erroneously settled, because an ingenious man
could give plausible reasons against it. His re
corded opinions whilst upon the Supreme Court
bench, are characteiiaed by brevity, perspicuity,
learning and pure Saxon English. They are
highly creditable to the Judicial literature of the
Bute.
Judge McDonald entered into politics at a time
[ of steal exeitamcat. The State nt nearly eyul-
\< • ■
it without taxation, pressed all together beyond
its capacity—had fallen into discredit in the com
mercial world. The credit of the Srate was pros
trate by reason of a protest of its obligations to a
large amount. The taxes, under the delusive
idea that the Central Bank would furnish am
ple provision for the public necessities had been
withdrawn and given to the counties, and tho
Treasury was empty. It is therefore appa
rent that his administration started under most
inauspicious circumstances. It is the crowDii g
glory of that administration that it exvicated thfv
State from her erubarassments. Gov. McDonald
achieved this triumph by s manly and persistent
demand, that the wants of the Government should
be supplied by taxation.
Discarding expedient.', and confronting the exi
gency with unflinching courage, be exposed the
true condition of the finances, and counselled the
people, and the legislature to restore the taxes to
the Treasury. His appeals to the pride and honor
of the country were not in vain, although tardily
and somewhat reluctantly met. They however
were met, and the credit of the State restored.—
Her great work of internal improvement advanc
ed, and his successors had little to do, but follow
ed out the line of policy which he had inaugurated.
To illustrate his moral courage, the following inci
dents are presented. In 1841, when the pecuniary
embarrassments of the State were yet unrelieved,
the legislature passed an act to reduce the taxes
twenty per cent. ll® vetoed the act. \ etoes in
that day were rare things. To intervene by exec
utive authority to prevent a reduction of the
taxes, was to imperil most seriously the popularity
of the Governor, yet he did not hesitate to t>U\9
the hazard. Again in 1842, he had made an ur
gent appeal to the legislature to provide for the
necessities of the Treasury by an increase of
taxes. A bill in accordance with his views was
introduced, and lost. Upon learning toward the
1 os® of the ression that the Treasurer was, as
usual, paying to the members their legal compen
sation, before the passage of the appropriation bill,
he issued an executive order, forbidding further
advances. The supplies being thus stopped, the
General Assembly was thrown into violent agita
tion, but neither the remonstrances of his friends,
nor the denunciations of his enemies, availed to
withdraw the order. He stood firm, and the bill
was passed. These incidents, now that the pas
sion of the hour have died away, will be looked
upon by all candid men, as striking illustrations of
charucter.
Officially and personally he was an enlightened
and lit eral patron of education. He entertained
a profound respect for Christianity and its institu
tions, and contributed freely to the charities of the
Baptist Church, with which denomination, were
his doctrinal convictions, and religious sympa
thies.
Judge McDonald was twice married, first to a
daughter of Col. Franklin, a rising lawyer, who
died early, at Madison, Morgan County ; and after
her decease, to Mrs. Ruffin, relict of Hon. Mr.
Ruffin, of Virginia, and daughter of the late Judge
Roane, of that ilk. He survived hia last wife only
e few months.
Til® n?ost pleasing part of this review of tho
life of this .eminent person remains, and that is,
to speak of bins ip his private relations. If his
public life emitted a more brilliant light, his pri
vate character shone with purer and sweeter
radiance. His affections were warm, and his sym
pathies with human suffering and joy, quick and
generous. His benevolence extended not alone
to his peers, but to all classes of men. His affa
bility was remarkable. lie had for all his acquain
tances, always, a shake of the hand, a friendly
greeting, and a kindly enquiry. He seemed to be,
and was, in fact, interested in every body. Ho
.W 63 temperate, but not wholly uneonvivial. If
there is aught of the social element in a lawyer,
it will show itself on theCiicuit. Those who bavo
been professionally a-sot dated with him, bear tes
timony to hjs uniform agreeableness of temper—
his obliging disposition—his mirthfulnes?—his
keen relish lor harmie,.t wit—and his appreciation
of humor. In the Court House, on the road, in
tavern halls, in parlor circles, and round his own
hearthstone, he was always the polite, agreeable,
i and refined gentleman. As head of hU family, in
the relations of husband, father and master, ho
illustrated all the virtues of a wise, affectionate,
strong and just mas. In these relations none
know the vastness of the void his death has made,
except those who daily saw the magnitude of his
living presence. The richest inheritance he has
left to his children and his country, is the mem
ory of his virtues.

I sent you by telegraph this evening a partial
organization of the Convention and a preamble
and resolution adopted by that LoJv. The organ
ization was made upon a strict party vote. Wm.
M. Brooks, of Perry was chosen President over
Robert Jati Don, of Tuscaloosa—the vote standing
54 to 45 the two candidates being absent from
the Hall. Thus it will be seen the Convention
stands, for separate State secession 64, to 46 for
consultation and co-operation with the Southern
or slave States. Fifty-four is every vote eeparato
State secession can get in the body. That fifty
four represent a minority of the popular vote of
the State, and of course should it adopt the Ordi
nance of separate State secession, it must fail to
carrv with it that moral force and harmony which
is necessary to secure the co-operation of other
