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.

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.

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 Southern Rights Democintic Whig Stale’s Rights Jeffersonian Republican Federal Re sistance Submission Secession Consolidation Conglomorntion &c., &c., party, they mny cnlcli a few sleepy Union Whigs and Demo crats.
