Rome and her Rivals
The natural position of Rome is most fa
vorable for commerce and iimnufactures. Al
the bead of sle.mibont navigation and rail
road transportation, and surrounded ns she is,
by n country of unsurpassed fertility, health
and beauty, nothing but tho apathy nnd im-
|,olicy of her citizens, can prevent her from
becoming ihoqueBn city of Cherokee Geor
gia. Bat to attain this desirable destiny,
her citizens must open their eyes arid unloose
their purse strings. They must look Io fu
ture ns well ns pre-cut ’gains, and devise nnd
carry out their plans accordingly. And they
should do this nl once,for oilier “Richmonds
are in the field,” and « ill endeavor to hear
oil the palm.
I.asl year Vn efibrl was made to conned
Rome and Summerville by a plank road,
hut iho project for some reason fell tlnnugh
Had this road hecu cons (rue led, a large
Irnde from Chattooga, Walker and I)nde,
might have been secured lo Rome which is
likely now lo go lo Clmt'iinooga, Dalton mid
Calhoun. The last named pluce, indeed is
likely tu hccoiuo a formidable competitor for
not only trip trado of Walker, mid Chat
tooga, but a portion of Floyd. A frec-
bridgo will probably bo soon constructed
ncross llie Oostannulla, near Calhoun, which
will inevitably divert a cunsideinble trado to
that place. Some week since in passing up
to Calhoun we were not a little surprised to
see wagons et.ga.ed in transporting goods
Irom that place into Floyd. Our Rome cap
italists may not ho a * are that a City is rapid-
Itopi'S, and j ly springing up nl their very door, which
hi do. j threatens to diminish largely their business.
The Crops
To those of us who have been pul upon
short allowance fora year or two, it is quite
consoling to witness tho fine prospect every
where pre.-enled of a good wheat crop- Ac
companied by an esteemed friend who is n
jutlye of such mutters, w o took n trip last
week through a portion of Floyd, Gordon and
Murray, mid were informed that the wlioat
and oat crops were never more promising in
those counties. This prospect of abundance
is already affecting the price of corn, and we
trust that plenty will soon bo found in nil our
borders. A good wheat crop would add
grenlly to the prosperity of upper Georgia.
Population oi Floyd-
In the late census returns lor this Slate,
there is evidently quite mi error in the mini
her ot white inhabitants reported from this
county, mid probably tho black also There
is thought to be nt least ono third more peo
ple In Floyd than the census nuiv gives us
We trust this mutter w ill be examined into
nnd the error, ns far as practicable, correct
ed
Florida.
Tho census for this State, 1810, gnvc it n
population ol 54,477. By the census of 1850,
we perceive that hor present population is
4G.7C2 whites, and 39,803 colored; total
SO,055. I.oon county contnins3240 whites,
and S273 blacks—or more limn two lo ono.
(u^-Thie Inst Florida Sentinel contains a
loiter from Mr. M.iu.otiv accepting tlio Scn-

elected. We trust Mr. Yuj.bk’s efforts lo
oust him will prove unsuccessful. Mr At.

the fiicnd of the late Compromise.

G'Orgia Iiidcpendeuoa-
It is quite i-efredtuig to witness the rapid
progre-s of* 1 our own Georgia,’’ in all those
pursuits nnd improvements, v liich render a
people great, and prosperous, nnd iiidcpcn-
dent. During the last few years, mnnulac-
tnrics of different kinds have sprung u > in al
most every part of the Stale, (and others are
still in coiiteniplatiuny which liovu added
gieatly to its population and wealth. Every
step in this diiection wo hail as the harbin
ger of a more glorious future. Whilst upoii
ibis subject, it gives us pleasure lo say that
the Courier is printed upon Georgia made

The Weatiieu.—For, tho last few days
tlio weather has been uncomfortably and un
usually cold, which has greatly tetnrded the
growth of vegeta'ion.
The announcement nf Judge Sulu
van’s name ns a candidate foi Brigadier Gen
eral should Imve appeared in last week’s is
sue, but was inadvertently neglected.
CucustnEti.—We nro under profound obli
gations lo Mrs, Ann A. Smith, fur tho fine
cucumber we received the olhet day, nnd will
challenge our contemporaics in these regions
who have received any presents in that line,
to bent it. 1' was six inches long and luigc
in proportion, which, we think, will do for
the 20lh of April.
‘‘■What's in a Name V
Our opponents seem ns much nt a loss to
find a suitable name for their forthcoming
party, ns they nis to define their position.
Indeed, it is quito probable that they have
no fixed position or principles ; hence the
difficulty in adop’ing an appropriate cogno
men. Wlion the lenders shall convene nt
Millcdgevillo in Mny next, we anticipate
some very rich doings, particularly behind
the curtains. Such trimming and patching,
nnd notching—such billing and cooing nmong
the rank and file, will doubtless present a
very amusing scene to the metropolitans,
who, hy-tlie-bye, arc no slrnngejs to polili-
cal novelties, and clnp-lrnp. Wo perceive
that the convention nlready rejoices in several
different names—ns for instance, tho “ Demo
cratic nndSouthern Rights,” the “Democratic
nr Republican State U gilts Convention,” Stc.
Now those appellations are very good indeed
ns far ns they go, hut as our opponents seem
desirous of spreading a net that w ill catch
every body, w o would advise them to Inhel it
accordingly. Theto is much in a name, and
if they will call their new cow party, “(ho

that the contest between the Unionists and
Secessionists waxes warm in that section.—
Old party lines nro complo ely obliterated,

United Slates, no hitelligent man now
doubts. The N. O. Picatpine notes his pro
gress ns follows :
Senator Foote returned to his homo in
Mississippi on the 30th ult. The next day
ho addressed the citizens of Raymond and

The Late John 8. Skinner.—The Mem

“Jons S. Skinner has caused more Increase
of the real wealth and power ofthe Republic
than all ihe “heroes” il has ever produced.—
Ilia whole life was spent in fertilizing Ihe
soul and minds of others, while, from the
poor remunejjijiion paid for his labors, he
himself continued poor. It is hut just that
those who have been so much (tenefitied by
him should see to it that his family, now that
their protector nnd sustniner is -gone, is made
comfort able nnd independent oftho cold chur*
ities of the world.”
