Gov. Brown in his Message for the purpose of
satisfying the Legislature that the income of the
State Road will be sufficient to establish an edu
cational system, pay the public debfein a few years,
and reduce the taxes : affirmed that the net earn
ings would average $300,000 per annum, and sta
ted th.it if lie were satisfied the Legislature and
people of Georgia desired him to do so, he would
take the road for ten years as* an individual, and
pay for the nse of it $25,000 per month, and he
would forfeit and pay $10,000, every time a month
ly payment should be delayed twenty-five days.
He stated also that he would give bond with am
ple security, that lie would return the road at the
cud of the lease in as good order as it was 1st of
January last. That he would obligate himself to
lay down ten miles of the track every year with
new T. iron, and that the freight shall at no time
be raised above the average of freights on other
roads in Georgia. A bill has since been introduced
into the Senate to lease the Road to a company,
who propose to give $325,060 per annum for the
Road, payable monthly. The members of this
company do not propose to lay down any number
of miles of iron each year, nor do they propose to
give either bond or ample security that the road
shall be kept in good order. The corporators do
not even propose to bind their individual property,

The Supreme Court.
Messrs. Editors :—It is with deep regret, that
the writer has been informed that there is a dispo
sition, on the part of some members of our present
Legislature, to abolish the Supreme Court. The
reason for this, it is said, is because that Court has
made a decision as to the liability of stock holders
in a certain broken Ilank for the payments of its
debts, which is not approved. Admit that deci
sion to he both contrary to law and the justice of
the case (but about which the writer offers no opin
ion) is that sufficient cause to abolish the tribunal
altogether ? If this rule were adopted, all our
Courts would be abolished and we would be left in
a state of perfect anarchy directly.
Justices’Courts, Inferior Courts and Superior
Courts, all decide cases, and that often, both con
trary to law aud justice. Suppose, to test this rule
further, that we get an inefficient, or even a cor
rupt man in the Executive chair, should we abolish
the office of Governor, on t hat account ? No sane
man would seriously propose such remedy. We
would rather try to have better success in electing
another. If then, there be objections to either one,
or even to all, our present Supreme Court Judges,
(and I know of no one who objects to all of them)
had we not better try to remove that object in
a similar way 1 What sort of a judiciary would
we now have without a Supreme Court, while our
Superior courtjudges are elected by the people ?
Just such as I hope may never afflict Ga. With such
a judiciary we would have occasion enough to com
plain. In the first place, we would have as many
codes of laws as Superior Court Judges, as was
the case before we had a Supreme Court; but,
which would now bo much worse, a poor mau, or
one without influence at the polls, would stand no
sort of chance to get justice, in many cases, agaiust
one who can control his hundreds of voters.
Do not say this censurejis too severe agaiust our
Judges, of the Superior Courts. It is hut the na
ked, unvarnished truth, as any man of ordinary
observation will attest, who has attended the courts
and noted the working of our present system as
much as thewriter has. These Judges are but men,
descended from Adam since he fell, and are, by no
means, in some instances, the most infallible, or
conscientious, even of his race. A great deal bet
ter service may he rendered the country, I think,
by further enactments to perfect our present system.
To do this, as the most important change necessa
ry, I would suggest that our present Legislature
enact a law to restrain our Supreme Court from
overruling their own decisions, but require them
to stand as first made, until the Legislature shall
interfere ; then by rendering our laws more stable,
and to require the Judges of the Superior Courts,
in all cases in the last resort, to deliver their deci
sions and charges to the jury in writing. Let the
charge he then handed to the foreman, and when
returned into court, let it be filed by the Clerk,
with the other papers in the case, and making it
grouud of error for the Judge to deliver auy other
charge. We would then avoid much angry con
troversy between counsel, in taking up eases, and
the Judge, as to what was charged; aud the same
questions would then be presented to tiio Supreme
Court, that were determined in the Court below,
and that is not always the case note, as many par
ties aud their attorneys can truly attest.

——•
[Communicated.]
Taylor County, Nov. 12th, 1858.
Editors of Federal Cniou :—In your paper of 2d
iust.,1 notice that a meeting was held in Atlanta
on the 22d ultimo, by a portion of the friends of a
general system of Public Education. The report
of a committee of said meeting, recommends that a
department of public education he organized by
the next Legislature, with a responsible head and
adequate compensation, &c. This proposition to
increase the offices of State, imposes an additional
tax upon the people which is unnecessary, as the
offices now iu existence are sufficient to meet all
the wants of the gsvornmeut. If the present sys
tem of education is defective, the constitution of
Georgia authorizes "the Governor to offer a remedy,
by recommendiug to the Legislature such meas
ures as he may deem necessary and expedient;
this certainly includes every measure of profit and
interest to the State, and makes the appointment
of such new offices as that pointed out in the re
port. a positive burden to the people. No school
system that has been adopted in Georgia has serv
ed any purpose more noticeable than this, that it
was made to be changed by the next Legislature.
If this practice is to be coutinued, it would be wiser
if the Legislature would change their time of meet
ing from one to five years, rather than increase
public expenses by an increase of offices.
An imperative duty of all people iu a free gov
ernment, is to guard against the increase of public
offices. So important was this subject considered
by the Colonists of these United Slates, that they
made it a solemn matter of complaint in the De
claration of Independence ; asserting that the
King of Great Britain had sent over swarms of of
ficers to bairass the people, aud eat out their sub
stance.
It is clear, that it is too much the practice of pub
lie men to lessen the services of officers by increa
sing their number, whilst they manifest no son of
disposition to make a reduction in their salaries .
if public labor and wages were made to corresgond,
the whole country would be less cursed with that
class of speculators, whose employment is a “wild
hunt after office.” The education of the youth of
this State is a subject in wliien every Georgian
should feel interested, and for the accomplishment
of that object, none ought to withhold assistance ;
but the money raised foi that purpose should never
be wasted in the manner contemplated by the re
port referred to.
The chief obstacle in the present school system
of this State is not likely to be obviated by the
adoption of any other; because the Legislature
cannot justly establish any plan that will compel
parents to semi their children to school. It is not
dreu in the State are not educated: but it is gross
and willful negligence on the part ol parents of
such children. The only remedy for this evil, is
for the people of each community to see that eveiy
child iu their midst is sent to school. A little ex
ertion in this way, will bi of more benefit than
week* or months of legislation.

Trof, Wood's Hair Restorative.
It deserves to he called one of the greatest discove
ries of the age, as it not only turns the hair back to its
original color, but removes all dandruff from the scalp;
and cures cutam-rons irritations, and is a stimulant und
tonic to the ognns necessary to supply nutriment aud
coloring matter to the hair. It. removes the causes
which tend to turn the hair gray, it prevents the hair
from falling off, and brings it out where the head is
bald.
Caution.—Beware of worthless imitations asseveral
are already iu the market, called by different names.—
Use none "unless the words (Professor Wood’s Hair

tion, is therefore much the safest for the State. By
his proposition, 100 miles of the road would he laid
down with new iron during the lease. This would
cost $350,000, or more, and would keep up the
road. A corporation may promise to do so, but
without security, the State has not sufficient guar
anty that the road will be kept up.
The bill proposes that tho rates of passage or
freight on the road, shall in no case be more than
is allowed on the Georgia Railroad. The charter
of the Georgia road was granted when rail reading
was an experiment. Hence the rates which the
company may charge are very high. Competition
compels this company to keep down its freights
far below what the laics would allow them to charge,
otherwise the freights would all go in the direction
of Savannah. The charter of the Georgia road
provides that the charge for transportation or con
veyance shall not.exceed fifty cents per hundred
pounds, on heavy articles, and ten cents per cubic
foot upon articles of measurement, for every one
hundred miles, and five cents per mile for every
passenger. Should this lease he made, let us see
how much this company would have the right to
raise the freight on the Western & Atlantic Rail
road, (and there is no competition to prevent it.)
At present a car load of stone coal weighing 16,000
pounds is carried over the road from Chattanooga
to Atlanta for $13. It the lease is granted to this
company, as proposed, they will have a legal right
lo charge $110 30 for carrying the same load. Corn
is now carried over the road for a few cents per
bushel, (we do not know the exact freight.) Then
the company might charge for 286 bushels or 16,'
000 pounds, $110 30. A passenger is now carried
over the road 138 miles iu length for $5. Oe might
then be charged $5 90. It is useless to multiply
the examples. The Legislature will Dot be likely
to give auy company a lease on this great State
work with any such privileges or powers. They
would be certain to be abused. We believe by the
end of ten years the road 1% 111 nett tu tile State
$500,000 per annum. It is now doing well, and
it is best to let well enough alone. We do not fa
vor a lease to uny company. The people of Geor
gia are entitled to the increased profits of the road.
It has now been demonstrated that the road is a
paying concern. It will pay well while the present
Executive is in office, and hi3 successors will be
one term men if they fail to make it pay.
The Peniteutiary.
There is no subject that is constantly brought
before the Georgia Legislature, that is surrounded
by so much unnecessary obscurity, as the Peuiteu-
tiary. The people of Georgia and the members of
the Legislature, have come to the conclusion, that
the Penitentiary has been of enormous expense to
the State; that this expense is altogether unneces
sary, and therefore, the Penitentiary should be
abolished or moved to some other place. A short
review of the facts will conviuce any mau, who is
desirous of coming to the truth, that all of these
conclusions are erroneous. By referring to the re
cord, we learn that from the time the Penitentiary
was first established in 1817 to the present year,
it has cost the State about eleve» thousand dollars
a year. This includes the entire cost of the first
buildings, the re-building them twice after they
were destroyed by fire, and all the expenses of
guarding, and recapturing, and maintaining the
convicts, in sickness and health. This is after all,
but a small sum for so large a State as Georgia to
pay for the protection of her citizens from the vi
cious and depraved.
It should be kept in remembrance, that many of
the vagabonds that lay for a long time sick iu tlie
Penitentiary, at the expense of that institution,
would have to be supported by public charity, if
there were no Penitentiary. And it is the opinion
of many, that the cost of confining criminals in the
county jails would be five times what it now is, if
there were no Penitentiary. But it is contended
by some, that the Penitentiary can b9 moved to
some point where it can bs made to sustain itself
The enormous expense of moving and re-building,
we believe, would exceed all of the necessary ap
propriations for maintaining it where it is for the
next hundred years, and after it is moved, it is very
doubtful whether a better site could be selected
than the present. If the object is to employ the
prisoners in cutting stone, there are inexhaustible
beds of grauite within a short distance of the pre
sent location; but it will be found on trial that the
sale of the stone will never repay the expense.
Two of the best and most remunerating employ
ments that convicts can be set at, is building Rail
Road cars, and tanning leather, and making shoes.
These can be carried on as well at tiie present lo
cation, as any where in the State. Tan bark may
he got cheaper in some other place, but lhat is but
a small item of expense, aud hides can be bettfer
aud easier procured here, and shoes gold at abetter
profit than where bark is cheap. It has so hap
pened that previous to the present iucuinbent,
nearly ever/ Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary
for many years has been anxious to get the Peui-
teutiarv moved to some favorite locality. This
may, and probably has, prevented him from keeping
the present walls and building in that state of re
pairs which might have been done by the means
at his disposal. The idea that the walls were rot
ten and ready to fall, has been held out for many
Harulaff afLa&yeMt Matt!
About 3 o’clock, A M., on Tuesday morning
Lafayette Hail .took fire and in about three hours
was a mass of rains.
The fire originated in the north wing in a defec
tive chimney. This we doubt not, is true. We
had several versions of the manner in which the
fire originated, but all, we believe, agree in attrib
uting it to a defect in the chimney .where it passed
up through the ceiling. From eighty to one hun
dred persons were asleep in the building when it
took fire. No accident to life or limb occurred,
that we have heard of. Every exertion was made
by our citizens, and members of the Legislature to
save the furniture, Jtc We might refer to several
gentlemen who were most active and useful, but
all seemed disposed to do what they could under
the circumstances. Without an engine, the fire
could not be arrested: and all efforts were directed
towards saving furniture, &c.
This fire has placed a heavy load of affliction on
Mr. Candler and his interesting family. Mr. C.
had hut lately taken the Hall—had fitted it up
comfortably, and as a reward for his labors, he had
secured a great many boarders. This accident
drives him out of a business that would have re
munerated him, and blasts all bis fond anticipa
tions. The heartfelt sympathies of the entire
community's well as of the members of the Leg
islature, are with him in his great loss. The buil
ding we believe was insured.
There are some reminiscences, coincidences.
&c., connected with this building, which we
think deserve a passing notice. This House
was built about the year 1823, by Col. Sea
born Jones, aud first occupied by Wm. F. Scott,
Esq. It is the house, at which Gen. Lafayette put
up on his visit to this place in 1625. There was
sleeping in it, when it took fire, an old gentleman
who slept in it thirty-four years since, on the first
night it was ever occupied as a Hotel. On look
ing at an old copy of Sherwood’s Gazetteer, we
see its original cost was $25,000.
DmUi Twialed Humbug.
The Constitutionalist of the 14th instant, in an
swer to an article in the Newnan Blade, charging
the hanks of Georgia with controlling the nrice of
cotton, puts forth the following awful threat:
“ It is equally fair, and far more truthful and
legitimate, to declare that Governor Brown and his
anti-bank friends are waging a war on capita] and
credit, to break down the value of property, and
the price of cotton, and the wages of labor, tnat he
and some of his friends may realise fortunes from
the depreciation of cotton, labor and property, gen
erally. The result of this crusade is already seen
and felt in the depreciation of cotton—and the fier
cer the war becomes, the lower cotton will go; for
English manufacturers and Yankee spinners, no
ticing the war on our currency, know that cotton
will decline in value, and they co-operate with
Governor Brown and his anti-bank friends to les
sen the value of cotton, destroy the value of ne
gro and other property, reduce the wages of la
bor, and prostrate the agricultural interests of the
State.
The yeomanry of Georgia will visit with tenible
retribution their indignation against those who
adopt such unhallowed means to impair the value
of their produce, the rewards of their labor, and
the savings of their industry.”
Now, we believe that the people of Georgia, “the
yeomanry'' if so the Constitutionalist pleases to
call them, have more sense than to believe that the
Governor or the banks of Georgia can permanent
ly affect the price of cotton. The value of cotton
depends upon the demand and supply; upon the
peace and prosperity of Europe, and upon a thou
sand things outside of Georgia, and over which,
neither our Governor nor the banks of Georgia
have any control. If the Governor of Georgia
should happen to die, we believe the price of cot
ton would not he affected in the least by that
event, and il every bank in Georgia were struck
out of existence, we do not believe that would af
fect the price of cotton but a few days. Just as
much colton would be wanted, and if there were
no bank bills in Georgia, money would bo sent
from other places in a short time to purchase all of
our cotton and the difference in the price would
only be the cost of transporting funds to Georgia
l’he value of cotton is regulated by other markets
outside of Georgia, and we in Georgia caunot af
fect it permanently except by the amount we bring
into the market. If we understand Gov. Brown,
he makes no war upon sound banks. Ho only en
deavors to enforce the laws made to govern them
when combined, with millions of money at their
control? The Railroads of Georgia are all now
working well. The State Bond, while under the
control of the people, serves as a cheek or bal
ance wheel to regulate the other Reads. But let
this great controlling power once get into the
hands of 8 company of shrewd speculators, and
what could prevent them from joining a combina
tion with one or more of the other R. R. Com
panies, and riding rough shod over the people.—
We know they would ha7e the power to do it;
and who will say they would not have the dis
position? When the interests of a great State is
put into the power of a chartered company of
sharp speculators, theu we say in all sincerity,
“May God have mercy upon the people,” for they
have no hope from any other source. But the
State Road is now doing well, no complaint
comes up from any quarter; it is every year be
coming more and more viruable aud useful to the
people, and why, in the name of every thing that
is decent, do the members of the Legislature wish
to disturb this happy condition of things? Have
their constituents instructed them to do it? far
from it. We have not the least indications that
they desire it. Is there an instance in the annals
of Georgia legislation, since the Yazoo specula
tion, where the Legislature, without any instruc
tion, have disposed of eight or ten millions of the
people s property. Not one. And we have
idea that this Legislature will venture upon snch
a hold, and as we verily believe, such a fatal pro
ject. If this subject should be further agitated
in the Legislature, as we presume it will he,
this company are not the inen to abandon a favor
ite project, we shall have many more things to say
about it in future. Wc stop for the present for
want of time.

Supreme Caart.
If there is one opinion that has gained ground
among the people during the past year, more than
another, it is, that tho Supreme Court should be
located permanently at the State Capital. This
peddling justice around the country, is beneath the
dignity of a tribunal of the character and force of
our Supreme Court. The United States Su
preme Court is located at the Federal Capital,
Washington; and in most of the States, where
there is such a tribunal, it is located at the seat of
Government. Here we have appropriate Rooms
for the meeting of the Court—access to the most
complete Law Library iu the State, aud a city at
all times healthy. Milledgeville is now easily
reached from any section of the State, and her ac
commodations will successfully compare with
those of the largest city iu Georgia. Public
opinion is clearly in favor of locating the Court
here, and the Representatives will do the Court a
signal benefit, and the people justice, by deciding
to make the sittings of the Supreme Court perma
nent at the Seat of Government.

We publish to-day a Message fiom Governor

Message to the House of Kepreseatatlees.
Executive Department, \
Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 18th, 1658. V
To the House of Representatives ;
In reply to a Resolution of the House of the I6th
instant, calling upon me for iutormation on several
points connected with the management of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad, I have to state that
the report of James M. Spurlock, Esq., former Su
perintendent, now of file in this Department,
shows that the gross income of the Road for the
fiscal year ending 3<)th Sept., 1857, amounted to
$900,808 95, ami that $100,000 was paid into the
Treasury during that year.
It also appears from the Report of Dr. Lewis,
the present Superintendent, that the gross income
fir the fiscal year, ending 30th Sept., 1858—for
reasons already communicated to the Legislature,
amounted to only $800,001 28, aud that tho gross
income of the Road from 1st January to 30th of
September, 1858, (being the first nine months of
Dr. Lewis's administration of the Road, and which
period he reported seperately) amounted to $618,-
874 52.
During this nine months the present Superin
tendent paid into the State Treasury $175,000, and
since that time he has also paid in the further sum
of $25,000 for the month of October.
It will further be seen by reference to the report
of Dr. Lewis, that he paid during the nine months
$172,116 74 ot debts against the Road, which had
been contracted by former administrations, and
that he had a balance in the Treasury 30th Sept.,
last, of $59,820 74 to meet bonds of funded debts,
soon to fall due. and to pay balance for the con
struction of Chattanooga Depot, when finished,
&c.
By reference to the report of the Senate Commit
tee, it will he seen that the present Superinten
dent, when lie entered upon the discharge of his
duties on the first of January last, was properly
charged with about $57,324 15 of solvent assets,
due from connecting Roads and from agents, aud
that there was then turned over to him a balance
in the Treasury of the Road of $15,907 43.
Deduct the above sum of $57,324 15 of solvent
assets from the $172,116 74, aud it will be seen
that the amount paid of debts of prior administra
tions, exceeds the amount of solvent assets receiv
ed from the prior admiuistration, the sum of $114,-
792 59 while the balance in tho Treasury of the
Road, on the 30th ‘ept., 1858 was $43,913 31, lar
ger than the balance in the Treasury 1st January
last.
Recapitulation of the foregoing statements taken
from the reports above refered to.

of 12 inch square timber to be laid ou the ground for

and dove-tailed together, the out side wall to be 20 feet
square, and to be 10 inch space between the two walls,

Deduct this $8,000 00 from the $26,223 50 aud
it appears that the balance paid to other attorneys
a want of money, neither is it a fault of the Execu- ,. eargi nlI(1 n, e bricks that have fallen out have not

dated appearance; but we are assured by good
judges, that the wails are solid and in no more dan
ger of tailing than when first built. It is undoub
tedly necessary that more cells he built, and more
work shops provided for the increased number
of convicts, and we are assured that all necessary
repairs and improvements can he made with some
thirty or forty thousand dollars, which would be
but a drop of the bucket, in comparison to the enor
mous expeuse of moving the Penitentiary, or sup
porting convicts in the county jails. We intend to
investigate this subject further at some future
time, when we ihink we shall be able to prove,
that a well conducted Penitentiary system is as
cheap, and as effectual a preventive of. and a pun
ishment for, crime, as has yet been devised.

Lease ef the State Read.
Tlie answer that appeared in our paper of yes
terday over the signature “ S ” to our arguments
against leasing the State Road, is more plausible
than sound, more specious than convincing. The
writer says the company will obligate themselves
to do all that we require, will promise to lay down
the ten miles of iron a year, and will return the
road at the end of ten years in as good order as
they found it. To all this we answer, that expe
rience has taught us that no obligation written
on parchment or paper, is strong enough to hind a
company of shrewd men with eight or Ten millions
of money at their control. The writer calls upon
us to reflect upon the possible accidents that may
happen to the road, how its bridges may be de
stroyed by tire or flood, or the produce of the land
may he cut off, and consequently, the business of
the road ruined by providential causes. We have
thought of all these things, and we feel assured
from the history of all contracts made' between in
dividuals and the State, that in such events the
company would apply to the Legislatuie for relief
and would get it. The company would take all
the chances for making money, but if by any ac
cident or casualty they should happeu to lose, they
would apply to the justice and magnanimity of the
State, aud the people would have to suffer the loss.
Iu short, in all bargains between a chartered com
pany and the State, if it turns out favorable to
tiie company they insist upon the fulfilment of the
contract; hut if unprofitable, they repudiate the
contract, and apply to tho Legislature for relief,
and tho Legislature always relieves them. Tell us
uot, then, about the liberal promises of a compauy
that has all the power atfd patronage and money of
the State Road to back them.
In less time than the ten years for which their
proposed charter is to run, they wouid have ac
quired power sufficient to control some future
Legislature, and thus be able to perpetuate their
lease and their power, as long as they chose.
The gentleman who writes for the Company, calls
upou us to look at their names, as if the very
mention of them was enough to put down all op
position. We have looked at them, and we con
fess the contemplation has not served in the least
to allay our fears, that the State may suffer when
put into their power and keeping. These gentle
men have acquired a very wide reputation as suc
cessful speculators. They always get tho best
end of every bargain, and make the most of eve
ry chance to make money. If as individuals no
one has been able to coatend against them suc
cessfully, what may not the people fear from them
