•• CROAKERS" AGAIN—CENTRAL RAIL*
ROAD.
Th* following communication from th« Afaron
T'/fftnpk, I Ith Inst,, deserves a panting notice.
The writer would appear to be one of thoae who
really du not with to ace the Central Railroad com*
plated. Ho polnta out the proceedings of a meeting
lately held hy our citltcna. at » hit'll tho Corporation
Of thlacity. waa recommended to sulrserihe 11 Otl. 000
Mock, to further the denign of I Railroad between
Augusts and Wnynesborongh. there*7 connecting
Augusta by Rnllrood with thla city ami Macon.
Tho ennetuainn ho draws f om thla pmpoaltion ia
that we of Savannah are “dincnnragrd with the
route to Macon, and wiah to turi our attention to
Au Itato.” And he further nrru«es ua of not " act
ing liberal or even jus/ to Mnron !**
Now. the writer of that communication, muat
have road the resolution below, which waa untni-
Stoutly adopted by tho meeting in Savannah!—
" Resolved, That the e mjdetion oftho Rnilrond
communication between tho cities of Savai nnh and
Martin, ia oftho utmost Importance—Uiut the com
pletion of the road (Vom Savannah t • A aeon ran
nrver/nr a moment be lost sight ({/'—that tho ihtida
a and credit of t 0 State ought, if neecsinry* to lie
• v freely used in tho accomplishment of that oltjoet,
' olruady *0 for ndvaoced hy the untiring teal ond
energy of the Central Railroad Company."
Does this look like being " discouraged," or ovinre
1 desire to impend operations ? Why d d not the
writer in tho Telegraph c spy that resolution, which
would have aettlod all doubts T Wo can only be
lieve it w.ts because ho drain'd to load his readers
astray. This cavilling should not be tolerated, when*
the interests of a great public work are at stake. It
should bepnimptly condemned.
Tho first and only object of tho Directors of the
Central Railroad ia to complete tho Road Iwtween
Savannah and Macon. This hui been said before
—but it would seem necessary to say so again.
The Augusta and Waynesboro’ Railroad it nnn-
thcr Company; and to that, tlto City of Savannah,
in hor corpor itu capacity, will, wo hope, lend her
aid, and wo also trust her citixens generally will
forward tho entorprise by the purchuse of stuck In
said Company.
Tho writer in the Telegraph asks,—"has Sa-
vannah such n surplus of cash as to bo able to enrry
on at thj sume time two expensive Rnilronds
Wo answer, that there is.no doubt, enough of means
in Savannah, to accomplish even such wonders;
but in this c isn, she has not m tde the first move—
the citixcn. of Durku county up* entiiled to that
credit—Savannah merely tilfer* !. r aid to tin* pro
ject—which all must admit is of u most praise
worthy nature.
When *hi Directors of the Central Railroad Com
pany, show tho slightest inclination to diverge fp'tn
their straight-forward course, it will he time enough
|>» make compliant#—as yet, tliojDourd of Directors
the entitled to receive not censure, but tho most un
qualified approbation of tho stockholders of tho
Company, either in this city ■ r Macon. The drift
^ of the writer of the following will be s eo it once.
We have nut deigned to reply to tins question—
" Is site then justified in taking our money to build
a road to Augusta 7’’-rns it is well known such a
thing was never even dreamt oft —
To the Editors of the Georgia Telegraph :
I wish to call your attention to tho proceedings
of a public, meeting hold in Snvatinnh on the 38ih
utt., where it is proposed to subscribe otic hundred
thousand dollnts towards carrying tho Rail Road
from that city to AUGUSTA!
Why is tills I Has Snvnnnah such a surplus of
cush, us to be able to carry on.nt tho same time tw o
expensive Rail Roads—or is she discouraged with
the route to Macon, and wishes to turn her atten
tion to Augnstn 1 In either case, it does not seem
that all** is acting liberal, or even just towards Ma
con. This city has contributed two nr tliroo hun
dred thnsnnd dollars to tho Central Ilnnd, and Su
va i.nh is pledged totini-li it to Macon as s|M*edily
as prait.cuhle. Is she then justified, in taking our
money to build n Hoad to Augusta?
How much has Savannah subscribed towards
completing the Marun nod D'Kalh RiH Road?
Not one cent! But here ap* the R-solutions:
*• Whereas, tho Central Rail Rond wdl very soon
bo completed to n point from which it may l>e con
nected with the city of Augusta, hy the shortest
practicin'*le route, by a Rail Road to that city from
such point,
And whereas, such connection will tend grently to
promote the interests of tho cities of Savannah and
Auguste.
Resolved, That it he recommended to the corpo
ration of the city uf Savannah to subscrilm for one
hundred thousand dollars of the stock of the Com
pany incorporated for tho construction oftho said,
roai), and tn invite the corporation oftho city of Au
gusta to unite with them, ill the necom lishtnent of
f this desirable object, hy a similar suhsiv iptinn.'
I would nlso call your nttenti-m to tho following
pnrremphs in the Annual Report of .1. Edgar
Thompson, Chief Engineer and Ageht of tho Gent*
gin Rail Rond Co. By ’‘putting this nnd that to
gether," a good deni of light may he thrown upon
the course of Ntvmnnh for the last 1*5 months, and
of her ulterior views. I make no comments at pn*-
sent. But 1 warn the friends of M.us.m, to waiuh
0$ well as pray!
FAR WEST,
"Agreeably to your instruct!vis, examination*
were nlso made during the full, of that portion of
the route nbovo Waynesboro’ of the Rail Rond
preposed to connect Augustu with the Central Rail
Way. The lower portion hnving hern surveyed hy
the Centrifl Rnif Road nod Banking Co.
On n direct line between Augusta and Waynes
boro’, the surface of the country is intersected and
much broken, &e.
The length of the rood will he Q3 J mi'es, its
greatest rise *?6 J fee t per mile, and estimated cost,
inclusive of the necessary outfit for Machinery and
Depots, &4*.. $383,780
The whole distance by this route from Savannah
to Augusta is understood to he 12 t -miles • from
Augusta tn the terminus nf thti Wesjern and A'lnn-
tfr. Rnil Road, the disthnre is lfiO mile*, making
the total distance from Savannah via Augusta tn the
state trunk, 296 miles—only 3 longer than the route
by Macon.
■UwHmAsI of the Constltnthm. 1 bit is mo point
fixed.-Again, tbe Whig* will lose all thedvan-
tages which they have deriv'd from their vote*,
multiplied five or sU, or scvm-f.4d during tlie recent
election. They can vote only onoe on a general
ticket.—Again, they will lose most of the Contm-
alive votes, which Will tn vet lie given to Mr. Clay,
or any whig candidate —And again, the immense
majorities, which we possess tn a few Democratic
counties, will sweep off nil the meagre majorities,
which they have obtained, as well as their n.«sted
stren-.tb in Augusta and Loudoun, During the late
election, Harrison alone has polled mtec than IBDO
votes—and M nongnlia more than 1(100, In iliesc
two ciHinties alone, we shall carry more than 2,500
minority. With there, nml Rockingham, f*bcnan-
d«wh, Montgomery, Halifax, and Utt e Tennessee,
*c rould more than absorb every Whig county—
and we shall cany the State hy flora 8 tn 10.000
majority. We e terrain not a moment’* doubt
alaiut ii. We know thnt such is the uniform opini
on of the Republican • arty—and many candid
Whig* confess, 1 hut such must be tho case. There
is no m stake about it.
Wc could mention some very remnrkublo chang
es in favor of tint Republican party, which have ta
ken place since the late election. We ootid cite
names, which wou.d astonish our readers. In fact,
the skies nre brightening up uli round us—and uvcty
thing is sufe.
THE PRINTING BUSINESS.
Tlie An of Printing bus done more, perhaps, for
v.lvUwttthm, than all other Inventions put together
It paved the way for great awl mighty Improve
ments in Mechanic!#, in the Fine Arts, and lent its
powerful aid to Science, by enabling n Gat.ltto, a
CopKttMirus, a Newton, to open even the finuu-
nent of Heaven to our view, and point out the plan*
clary b -dies for our inspect on.
In tho early stages of printing, nu one was per
mitted t«* become ucipmlnted with its mysteries,
who had not arrived at tlie ugc of discretion, nnd
who was not distinguished for scholastic attain
ment*. Subsequently, however, owing Pt the facil
ities thnt were 11 Horded hy tho many improvements
in the nimbi of ousting types, there arose a groat
demand for books, nnd consequently, for printers.
Tho ranks of the educated were drained, nnd yet
enough of operatives could not lie obtained. Then
ii was tlmt tin* arcana of printing were revoalcd to
tho grosser mass. For ages, however, none were
taken, us pupils, or apprentice**, who were not vers
ed in their vermicular tongue, at least, and other
wise liberally instructed. To secure their respect
ability, a large premium wn* demanded, and paid,
hy tlie parents or guardian* of the tyro, for tho in
structions about to ho ihipnrtoll to them. In tho
reign ol Eiiwako VI., the premium which a mas-
teleprinter received witli an apprentice wn* one
thousand pounds sterling—or not fur from $’»U0'».
And, even nt the present day, few printers takcap-
prnt.ee* in the British Kunqieaii dmnittl us, fora
loss sum than one hundred juinnds sterling
No youth should he taken to learn the business
who has not n rles.re for it—or who is not sufficient,
ly educated to make it useful to hint. As an occw
patina, it certainly stand* at the very top of the
column of uil mechunical arts; nnd it should, and
does, take tho lead wherever miinl is .concerned.
It muy bo likened to n school, where there is no
vacation, and whore the student is always improv
ing, and acquiring something new.
Is ho of u mechanical turn, he delights in the de
tail* of sumo now invention—tho nine hundred nnd
ninety-ninth attempt to discover the peipetual mo-
linn, while lie sets up iho paragraph, so minutely
descriptive of this cog nml that wheel. I# he fond
of "tho lumioof sweet sounds," hn is enraptured
with a poetical w»rre«ii|—the offering of sumo in
spired hard, to his ’‘Indie Jovo’’—the lyric of some
modern AiiACRtcon— or the more noble and soul-
stirring -trains «»f those who have drank deep of tlie
»ninu stream which gave vigour nnd force to a
ScillLLKR or a KoiiKKU, who told of de-ds of bai
lie and renown, nf gory fields strewn with the dead
ind dying, who tiled mid fell for liberty—while he
transmits their nchiovment* In 11 benighted world,
through the medium of his methl types—these hum
ble slaves, fore’er obedient to hi* will. Dims* ho
thirst for classic, lore, he may turn over the leaves
of tho historian Sallust—of tho poet Horace—

tion of mankind. Is he a sage, and philosophic,
lie can consult Pi.sto,—ask advice from Socrates,
and glean lessons of wisdom from Aristotle—
without leaving his pr -per study, the printing-office.
Would ho acquire n knowledge of the luw, the
Pandects of Justinian—the tomes ofCrtKK and
Lytti.etun, and die luminous commentaries of
Ulackstusk, may bo made subservient to his
wishes, as ho follows hi* daily occupation. Ho
cull tho beauties of Sit UCIFKAIU, and the old
English dramatists— r if he loves them more, tho

lag apprentices, at least to the icw*)mper if not to

old, of (kmilles in easy ritvumstat.ee*.—living
with their parents, and familiar with all the de
ments nf the English language, baling a pla*n I ut
sutslanclal education, are mostly desirable. In

Wo were led to make these observations by pe
rusing the subjoined article, in the New York
Earning >lar, of the 6lh inst. We are happy to
find that tho business is looking up. To tjie New
York and Washington Typograph cal Associations
the fraternity are much indebted—for at the period
of the formation of the NW York Association, the
trade wa* ot its lowest ebb, from the iiqimluti' n of
runaway apprentices—or persons underihe ogn oj
21; and it wa* the Washington Society thnt blew
up the notable schema of Gen. Durr Gkekic. some
years ago, which designed to introduce and keep
up an army of 50J apprentices—a great number of
wno.11 were tu bo discharged every year, m.d sclI
abr.Ktd on tlie great world, tn do tho Lest they could.
The futility of the plan was appiircnt to eve y prac
tical eye—yet, but for the determined opposition ol
that Association, hundreds of youths would be ruin
ed, and much V4,liable time lost to them, ut that
interesting period of life, jvhen the deepest impres
sions are usually mude, whether f r weal or for wo.

though the b'isities* i* by nu menus laborious or pain

yet su it wn* that some years ago Journeymen Prin

intemperate boJy of men, and of very unsteady cha

improvement in the character and dep.*twr»K uf

Yesterday. Mr. Editor, at twqprecisely, tlm very
hour at which you told u« tho thermometer "stood
at 90°"—and that wo ‘‘should keep (nml. und im
bibe soda water"—I saw two loafers, who Iwd
somehow or other raised the needful,or went nn tick,
to imbibe most immoderate draughts of brandy, or
somn other alcoholic stuff, thit my soul nhhors.
TheirlibtMiniis had the usual effect, nnd they “ reel
ed" or *’ nqdded,' 1 as they went along,'.rqlkinguny-
thing but a straight line, and appearing tn bo any•
thing but tho o c|car grit"—ifor, in truth they looked
as if they had been turned out of doors, by their
last host, at worthless loans. Come, Net), let us
run our faces for another horn, at ■ ■■’«. He’s
the right sort of a chap, never says no," “ Well
B;li., if you ax it, I'll go," suid his itiute modest
cpiqptniun—und away they suited. I tHnllghl of
ibk chance these men ran of hnving their names
rolled Ip tho Sexton's Report next week—and I
thought that no • ne would mourn their loss, flip
wh® would Writo the “Lonfer’s Monody”—whq
would care fnr h'm won never cared, for anyth! g
on, qp under, er above the earth, but rum, I thought
of tbrie things, nnd I p inted out tho hideous crcu-
tures as they rcrtjrir) a(on7, to my little son, and told
him they were " Inafeps, 1 '
“Ob, p i!" said tt|« ql|ilt|," how can poqpje drink
rum such a hot day as thU^dt m"*t burn their im
rides." So thought I my.sajfe*bi|t tho “ liquid fire"
finds as warm a reception in their stomachs, as it
ran impart. Didst ever tep q drop of water on a
red hot bar of iron ? Ewq sq ji (ho rpudicum of
rum, in the drunkard's stomach. Ah. there's noth
