same author, which is designed as a guide to
those who are just entering upon a Christian
course, whether they be young, middle aged or
advanced in life, although the author has mo e
particularly addressed himself to the mental
characteristics of the young. He assumes the
broad principle in theology, that salvation is to
be secured through repentance, faith and a
confidence in the merits of the Saviour, bu t
devotes his work to a discussion of the prac
lice, rather than the theory of re igion. Hence
his great object is to explain and illustrate the
oty o the Christian. Tne series will be

which, will be forthcoming at an early day.

State Railroad—Gov. Towns’ Message.
Governor Towns thinks that the Georgia,
c>«J Macon and Western Railroad Companies
are making 38 per cent per annum, by furnish
ing Freight Cars for the use of the State Road.
This is somewhat singular, if true —for in con
nection with this matter it is quite notorious,
that th?se Companies have continued this very
profitable arrangement with extreme relnc
nnco—and in the last annual report of one of
them, a pretty formal notice is given to the
Legislature, thatthe Company cannot stand this
38 per cent much longer. _ )
The prominent errors in the Governors
estimate consist in, . .
Ist. Allowing too small a sum for the origi
nal outlay. , , . ,
3d. Overlooking the well established iacl
that Cars will wear out, and require renewals,
and
3d. Estimating as a part of the interest upon
the original investment, amounts received by
the Companies for the cost of repairing extra
ordinary damage to Cars.
Now, his Eicellency had before him his
own Engineer’s estimate of $116,350 for origi
nal outlay flow enough in all and
the common estimate for renewals (exclusive
of the cost of repairing extraordinary damage
by accidents, &c.,) on Roads in good condition
is 30 per cent; and in the case el ibe notorious
ly bad condition in which the Slate Road has
been, 25 per cent is believed t® be not too
h gh an estimate.
A much bet'er idea, then, of the true state of
the case would have been given to the Legis
lature and the public, by a sta ement somewh it
. in i his form ;
Cost of outlay far 200Cars*• SI 16,250
Interest on this euiu ouc year
... 7 I)B r e«< * $9,137 50
20 per cent for renewals.. $23,250.00
$31,387.50
Aggregate of Preight Re
ceipts as stated in the Re
port of Mr. Fulltcn, the
Superintendent of Trans L
po I,»J
One eight of this amount *22 921 45
for the use of cars •
$8,466.05
By this estimate it will be seen that $8,466,05
is required belore these Companies would
make 7 per cent instead of 38. As lurther
evidehoe that this “one eigth” for car mentis
not too high, it may be stated that the Sou
C rolina Railroad Company positively retusi
to furnish Caisfor the Greenville and Charlotte
Itoads, at this rate, and are now receiving liom
those Companies ont-six'.h. ,
In their arrangements with the State Road
the Companies ate only indemnified by the
saving which is effected, of the delays and ex
penses of a transhipment at Atlanta, and have
always been willing to allow the State the
same for the use of their Cara (should they
obtain an ou'fit) as they receive.
The charges made by the Companies for
repairing extraordinary damages, covering the
cost of materials and mechanical labor theres .r,
have plainly nothing whatever to do with the
foregoing estimate. Thesa charges, so much,
and so ignoranily co r plained of, are made by
the Companies, without taking into account
the loss and expense of abstracting from iheir
regular business, motive power and Oarsi for
the transportation of the “wrecks to their
repairing shops at Augusta and Macon j and
it is believed that, under the management oi
the State, they would net have baen less.
The same “hue and cry” was formerly raised
against the high charges of the G*org.aßail
rord Company for tha repairs of Engines on
the State Road. But Mr. lion's Report for
Ihe year ending September 30, 1800, (during
ten months of which the repairs of Engines
were made in the shops of the Georgia It il
ro d Company) states the “Motive Power”
exjer.ses for that year, at $36,196

Making a difference of $2^017
in favor of work done by the Company.
With the character and condition of the
Koad unchanged, similar results might accrue
with regard to Cars.
The above sta'ements are made with no
view to criticism of the Governor’s Message—
which contains many valuable suggestions and
cornet estimates—but, to place the matter be
tore the public in its proper light, and in justice
to the Companies which have been (no doubt
unintentionally ) misrepresented *

State Dedt ov Georgia.— The Message cf '■
Governor Towns is calculated to deceive the
people of Georgia in regard to the amount of the
estimates the debt at $1,424,722,-
Bank* That liability, wfncn
out of ihe Treasury, is $371,000, and the assets
of the Bank are only estimated at SIOO,OOO
leaving a balance $271,000. The Treasurer’s re
port states the matter as follows :
Due July 1 at, 1853, at 6 per cent,- - - • $ 10,000 00
Due Jan. Ist, 1953, at 6 per cent-••• 2-., WL--&

Sterling Bjnds at b per cent 72,000.00
Central Bank Liability 2/1,000 00
Aggregate actual debt, $1,99a,722. 22
The last item on account of the Central Bank,
is not included in the Treasurer’s Report, but
it is so clearly a liability of the State, that it
ought to have been so reported.
To the above must be added the sum of slb9,-
512 18 for 4200 tons of iron purchased for the
State Road by the Engineer, with Executive
approbation This claim, will run up the State
debt to $2,364,254.40— being nearly one million
of dollars larger than stated in the message.
We warn the Legislature to look well into these
matters before going into any extravagant sys
tem of expenditure. The State debt, it is true,
falls due at distant periods, and can be easily
met. The Central Bank liabilities, however,
will have to be provided for at an early day.
They fall due as follows:
In 1855- 39,000
In ; 34 600
In 37-000
In 48,500
In 1864 74,000
Gov. Towns states that there is in
the Treasury; buthealso states that the 870,000,
as ordered by the last Legislature, has not been
passed to the sinking fund. Had he obeyed the
mandates of the law, the Treasury would not
only have been empty, but there would have
been au actual deficit. We are thus particular
in mentioning these facts, in order to call the
i attention of the Legislature to the matter, and
in order to prevent future embarrassments in the
Treasury. There ere politicians and Editors
who evidently wish to involve the Stat“ in ex
travagant expenditures for various purposes.
This is wrong—at least at ihe present. It is
evident that the country is on the eve of a pe
cuniary crisis. It is impolitic, therefore, to in
cur any liabiliiies which arc not absolutely
necessary. We warn our public men to bs
cautious how they put their hands into the
Treasury. The liabilities of the State have been
increased nearly three quarters of a million
since 1847, and it will never do for the present
Legislature to add another million to the amount.

What the extent of the entire crop may bo is
still a matter of uncertainty, though that it

is generally conceded. As for the bottom

Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
We learn from the able and energe ic Princi

that on the first of this month, he recaived from
the contractor all that portion of the road be
tween the point of its intersection with the
Western and Atlantic Railroad and the deep
cut around Look Out bluff, a distance of near
three and a half miles. This speaks well for
the progress of the road. A few months
sir.ee, the formidable ledges of rock which
presented, seemingly, an almost insurmounta

CHARLESTON, Nov. 14.— Colton.— There was
a fair demand for this article during the previous
week, and a moderate amount of business was done,
but Ihe market quite early exhibited a drooping ap!
pearance, and when we closed our inquiries pre
paratory to our report of the 7th inst, most quali
ties had suffered a reduction of * to 4c., and the
subjoined quotations were considered at the time a
fair exponent of the state of the market, vi*, mid
id wg to good middling, 7| a 7» ; m-ddling f,i r 71 a
7f; and fair, 8 a B*. The marketopened on Friday
last—the first day of the week under review—with
n very good demand *nd the early transactions sus
tained the above range of figures; as the day ad
vanced, however, the market assumed a certain de
gree of bouyancy, and at the cloae of business the
sales indicated a decided upward tendency in pr im
Monday wefc notwy J.
transactions most generally indicated a decline of a
full ic.; but the operations of Tuesday, being quite
heavy, took a large portion of the available stock off
the market, and former rates were fully re-estab
lished. Buyers wereeaily in attendance on Wed
nesdny, but they were unable to make much pro
gress in consequence of the limited supply on tale
and the stringent teitns demanded by sellers, and
these remarks may to a great extent apply to the
busino sos yesterday. Prices, under the influence
of a gradually strengthening market, are |c. better
at the close ol the week ;* and having altered our
figures to correspond with this improvement, we
would with confidence refer to the subjoined quo
tations, wh : ch will give the trne position tfihe m«r
ket at the clore of busine s. We must again re
mark that we have sf> q locations <o < ffer for the ex
tieme grades, as then is not enough dome in them,
owing to their scarcity, to establish a mirket. Tbe
