OUR CITY. The Old City of Oglethorpe we love. We have loved her tyt times past, when she was reviled and seomrd. We loved her is Iter hour of adversity, when pnralyted by a series nf nti*f»rtuncs, slm re mained locked in the embrace of n lelhcrgy, which her enemies prepltrcied was the embrace of sleuth! Wo love her. now, in the limirqf her tiding fortune*, whqn even her. former enemies, heg ! n to enst .their eyes towards her, and to fashion their speech into tho accent* of conciliation and re>prct. Our city is gradually moving iip«hrd< to tho emi nonce, which site is destined to occupy. That proud ofi'spring of tho entrrprixa of her citixens, tho Central Ruihqad is binding tha srnpnrt to the richest portion’of tho Interior of our Stuto. On Thursday next, it will he opened for regular busiues*. to the extent of one Aniidrcd and twenty two miles. Tho business season has commenced in a mnnnor cheering to tho friend* of the work amlof our city. Tho curs depart every dny laden with mcrchoudito for tho interior, and tho operations of the road this season promise to equal the most sanguine expecta tion*. It is not only ns a money making concern! (wo allude to this great woik) but wo louk beyond to tho vast moral effects "which must result ■ for its completion.
