Tlic Macon and Brunswick Rail- ROAD. The course of events the past week may be regarded as pretty conclusive in the matter of the Macon and Brunswick R. Road. The meeting of Thursday evening, the proceedings of which are elsewhere published, surpassed the expectations of the most sanguine among the advocates of the project, and displayed a unanimity of feeling and universality of interest among our people, which perhaps never existed to the same extent upon any one subject before. A city subscrip tion of $200,000 was carried ncm. con., and the efforts of the Committee to procure private sub scriptions, had, up to the time wc saw them on Saturday, met with but a solitary repulse froin any business man of the town. AYe will inquire into and report their success in another para graph. Subscription to Macon and Bruns WICK. Private subscriptions in town to the Macon and Brunswick Road, now reach the aeighbor- hood of $70,000, and will, doubtless, amount in gross to about $100,000. Mr. Hugh T. Powell Died very suddenly yesterday morning about four o'clock, as is supposed of apoplexy. His his health had bocn declining for a year past, but he was in town on Saturday'. The Journal has a way of writing long homi lies upon the people and the people’s party, and the virtues of all other parties but the Demo cratic party, and whenever a Democratic Con vention is talked o£ or called, the Journal A Messenger is sure to be seized with a fit of anti caucus and anti-Convention patriotism, and writes long editorials about the corruption of king caucus—fills its columns with virtuous sentiments, and inveighs against politicians and demagogues and placemen and wireworkers; the translation of all of which is, simply that the “ intense Amerikin” lick was a failure—was a minority movement, and hence all this outcry about caucus and convention. Let ns see how the Journal and Messenger stands on caucus and wire-working inside of his “Order.” Why dd not the Journal write homilies on the evils of caucus when Hammond was nominated by a convention for Solicitor of the Flint? Why did not the Journal grow eloquent in favor of the “right of the people to have a voice in the selection” of their Mayor and Aldermen, when the last “ Amerikin” ticket for this city was gotten up, nobody knows where and by nobody knows who ? Why did not our neighbor then raise his voice and cry aloud and spare not ? We have watched closely the course of our neighbor, on the subject of conventions, and we have never known him to object to a convention or a caucus in a single case where the “Ameri kin” party was in a majority—but if it happen ed to be in a minority, then our neighbor ex hausted over and over again his caucusian elo quence against the system. Wc think it looks as if the Journal did not object to caucus ex cept when resorted to by Democrats. Come, neighbor, be liberal, and don’t claim all special privileges for yourselves. Let us go on as here tofore. You hold your caucus, as of yore, by the light of the Dark Lantern, while the Democ racy will hold theirs openly, publicly, where they can he seen and known by all men. As to The State Convention, the Democrats will hold one—Gov. Brown will he renomina ted, and then tlie people—all the people—will have a fair chance to vote for him. lie will be Carolina side. Was ordered to go for them by the agent Capt Christie of tlie tow-boat La mar, went with his steamer from Brunswick to a point opposite Jckyl Island, saw there some negroes and white persons; the negroes were not American negroes; his boat transported the negroes who were on the south end of the Is land ; tlieir number, he heard, was about 300— does not know how many; they were put on board the steamer by white men. Saw the mast-head of a vessel about three miles off; did not recognise her as the Wanderer. This was on the 2nd December. There were six or eight white men engaged in putting the negroes on hoard—perhaps more; took them on board in the day time. Witness carried tlie slaves up the Savannah river to a point some fourteen miles above Savannah on' the South Carolina side; could not describe the place, as he was unacquainted with the river. White men went along, the negroes being in tlieir charge, some of them the same parties as assisted in putting the negroes on board at Jekyl Island. Did not deliver the negroes to any one, but ran along side the bank, and the parties having them in charge took them ashore. Some of the parties who took charge of the negroes went down on board the steamer to Jekyl Island; they were four in number. Did not take on any more at which the Agent, without any inquiries, prom ised to do, and was in the act of doing, when interrupted by Marshal Ross. The indefatiga ble deputy lodged his prizes in the guard-house till the next Savannah train, when lie took them down to that city. Those negroes, if they arc at all given to reflection, have abundant food for it We understand these negfocs had been pur chased in Edgefield District, S. C., by parties in South Western Georgia. It Ls not a safe investment to purchase these Africans as the law now stands. Tlie purcha ser runs the risk of losing them at any time within five years of his purchase. • John Peck, a mulatto boy, a train liand, saved and brought the news to town. Statements rather confused.

An immense amount of rain fell last week up to Saturday, a day which to the great relief of all ushered in the New Year with cloudless skies and cheering sunshine. The watercourses in this region rose higher than have been known for several years—travel was interrupted and the terrible railway mishaps wo elsewhere chroni cle, were the results of the “fresh." So far the general character of the winter has been unu sually mild and rainy. Harper for January Has been received at Boardman’s. The illus trated articles of this number are a very inter esting notice of the Panama Railroad—the Peo ple of the Red River—Quebec and its environs, and tho usual heavy instalment of tho Virgin ians—presenting more than the customary amount of pictorial embellishment. Among the other articles is a lively, chatty record of a visit to Japan by an American, in 1838. Vexed Question Settled. The New York City and State authorities, liavo at last settled upon a permanent location for Quarantine. They propose to construct an island of five acres on Old Orchard Shoal, in the lower l>ay, and erect the quarantine bufidinga upon it. The filling up will cost $186,000, and the artificial island, devoted exclusively to quar antine purposes, will be at a sufficient remove from the Staten Island shores to prevent infec tion. Gnuldcu oi tlic Intelligencer, Is one of tlic luckiest fellows in the State.— When he “run” the Empire State at Griffin, in every number he was sure to chronicle tlie re ceipt of an old ham—or first fine fruit of the season, or a present from a marriage feast ; but since he has risen to tho dignity of a city Edi tor, the presents come in still thick and fast, and of a more substantial character. He has lately had a present of a fine pair of pants, not' to speak of the boxes of segars, the old Brandy and Howard's good old wine, the receipt of which wo notice Is duly acknowledged. Well, friend Gaulden deserves his good luck.

The rich coal and iron mines in Chatliam county indicate that as the favorite spot. An attempt will be made to unite with this depot the national foundry authorized by Congress.” ■ Wc notice the above extract going the rounds of the papers, and must confess wc do not un derstand it Wc hope the Georgia Delegation will see to it, that the works at Brunswick are commenced at as early a day as possible, and not allow North Carolina to clutch this important prize from our grasp. Beaufort is the point referred to in North Carolina, and it Is a mere “ gopher hole,” in comparison with the magnificent har bor of Brunswick. Besides it is not more than a hundred miles from Norfolk, Ya., where the Government has already expended over twenty millions of Dollars. Wc want a fair division, and hope that the South Atlantic coast will not be left entirely unprotected and uncarcd for. Talk about rich coal and iron mines in Chatham county!—can they be compared with rich mines of gold and copper and iron and coal—the rich beds of granite and slate, and the almost illimi table pine forests—the exhaustless quantity of live oak ? In fact, can North Carolina, with its shallow port, and in a day’s ride of Norfolk, be for a moment thought of in connection with a Navy Yard, when such a place as Brunswick, with its immense advantages exist • Wc call upon our members of Congress to sec that Brunswick meets with the fostering care and favor which her superior natural and artificial facilities demand. Savannah ahead of Cliitrlcstoii— HURRAH FOR MACON. Wc shall soon have tho most populous sea- ' port in tho South. Savannah is making rapid strides, and will at an early day overtake Char leston.—Up to the 24th December Savannah had received 288,000 bales of cotton, and Charleston only 916,000 bales. Tho number of pounds re ceived is still greater in favor of Savannah. In a year or two, when Charleston and Savan nah get to be a little larger, we may incorporate thorn as “suburbs of Macon.” While on this subject wc venture the assertion that goods of all kinds can bo bought at Macon on better • terms, including difference of freight, than at either of the above mentioned places. If it. is thought we are boasting, let our country friends make the experiment and it will he seen tliat Macon is the best market AYin. A.CIioicc, tlic Slayer of Webb William A.

Tlie talk in the President’s Message about the acquisition of Cuba put the “ever faithful Isle” in a violent stage of effervescence. The docu mentary out-bursts of Spanish loyalty drawn out by this “degrading proposition”, and published under the sanction of the Captain-General in the Diario dc la Marina, in vehement and angry array, strike the nerves with all the effect of a bunch of exploding fire-crackers, or a lot of bursting soda bottles. The municipality of Havana tell the Queen that they consider “the shame of being sold as insupportable”, and Un cle Sam as “doubly insulting tlie “dignity of the nation” and the “natives of Cuba, who are thus regarded as a gang of slaves.” The man of the Diario newspaper is so dumb-foundcred over the audacity and ignorance of tlic message, that he says “it seems as if President Buchanan lias just been bom!” In short, Spanish Cuba —officialCubnis mad—outraged—astonished— insulted—desecrated—(“repugnantly desecra ted,” so they say), insupportable disgraced, and horribly indignant generally.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the rain pouring down in perfect tor rents, and the streets filled with mud and water, Fromjthe Columbus Daily Enquirer Jan. 1. The Railroad Disasters. The two terrible Railroad accidents of yes terday morning engrossed the attention and en listed tlic sympathies of our citizens throughout the day. Tlie anxiety and suspense was height ened by the difficulty of obtaining direct and reliable news from the scene of the disaster at Randall’s creek—the smasli-up two miles from the city cutting off communication by railroad, and tlic weather and tlic roads being extremely unfavorable for travelling by other conveyance. In tho break down near the city, first report ed, tlic white man killed was Mr. John Wal ker, a fireman ; he was killed instantly by the concussion. Tlie negro man wag caught in the wreck, where a stream of scalding water and steam from the boiler poured out upon him un til he expired in terrible suffering; his name was Simon, and lie belonged to J. L. Mustian, President of the Road. Mr. Georue Smith, the engineer, liad only his jaw broken, and we are glad to learn that his physician in this city thinks his iiuuries are not of a character en dangering life. This accident was occasion ed by the sinking down of the track over a cul vert when the engine ran on it—the flood liav- ing washed out the support from under it— The front paid of the engine passed over, but the rear broke through ami thus left it standing in the chasm nearly upright The train was running slowly and cautiously, and the passen gers hardly felt tho shock in tlieir car. The other and more terrible disaster occurred probably a lialf hour earlier, on the same road, at tlie bridge over Randall’s creek, 10 miles from Columbus. The two trains passed each other between the two places. That which left this city going east about 4 o’clock passed in safety over the place, two miles from the depot, where the train coming from Macon was soon afterwards wrecked; and the latter had just be fore crossed Randall’s creek on its way to Co lumbus without an accident It is probable, therefore, that the trains first passing loosened the supports of the track at both points, and the flood of waters undermined the track and left it without sufficient support in tho very short time that intervened between the arrival of the first and second trains at the two places of disaster. At the bridge over Randall’s Creek, the train was suddenly precipitated into the swollen and rushing flood, and the passenger car was borne down stream. Though we have not yet a full report of the extent of tlic disaster, wc have the gratifying assurance that a number more wpre saved tlian the first account represented But it is not surprising that the survivor who! first came in was not aware of tlie number of; those who had escaped, for several of the latter ; were borne down the stream half a mile before j they could cling to anything to arrest their pro-1 gross with the flood The number of persons on the train is vari ously estimated from 29 to 40. Of this num ber, the following arc reported as saved: Dr. Phillips, of Putnam county. Ga. Dr. A. M. Walker, of Columbus. Mr. II. V. Snell, the Conductor, of Columbus. Mr. Smith, from Texas—whoso family was killed A negro boy, Stepney, in charge of Mr. Pry or’s Horse Moidore. (Moidore lost.) A negro boy lielonging to the Railroad or to the President. S. M. Blake, of New York. Mr. Gammon, Railroad agiffit. Jordan, a negro belonging to Maj. Easley of Cass county. Besides two or three others, whose names arc unknown. The following are known to be killed or drowned, or missing: Two Slisses Guise, of Salem, Ala. An elderly lady from Tennessee (supposed to be the aunt of Mr. Smith of Texas.) Mr. Bouclie, of Columbus, an Italian and a train hand Tlie wife and three children of Mr. Smith of damage to the roads and bridges. The bridge at Bailey’s mill, three miles from the city on the Knoxville road, lias been carried off. Wc hope as this Is a most important crossing that it will be rebuilt at the earliest day possible. South-Western Rail Road. Wc are glad to hear that this Road is in good order to Albany and Dawson, and no delay in the regular and accommodation train. The trestle work at Howard’s Mill, about a mile from Flint River, on the East sidp, on the South- Western Branch to Columbus, has given way, and cannot be repaired until the river falls. We are informed that the difficulties will be reme died during the present week, and tlic trains commence running as usual about Saturday next to Columbus. For the Telegraph.

In the Macon Circuit, thccanvnss has been con ducted with becoming dignity and propriety, and it is a high compliment to both of the gen tlemen who aspire to Judicial Honors, to say that where they are best known, they receive the best vote. In some other Circuits, wc- regret to perceive that the canvass lias been marked by great bit terness and lunch personal feeling. Judges Fleming, Hardeman, Love, Worrell and Bull have no opposition. showing clearly tho importance of the project— its benefit to Macon—its great importance to the planting interests generally, and aliove all its incalculable benefit to our great, glorious and prosperous State. The Hon. Thomas Hardeman of our city was then loudly called for, and ascended the plat form, and os ho always does, made one of his telling speeches, cogent, argumentative, and effective—proving by the statistics of tlie Rail Road System in tho Union, that the Macon and Brunswick Rail Road was absolutely necessary to Macon, to her prosperity and happiness, and urged the audience to give it a hearty and libe ral support. His address was heartily received, and applauded throughout Col L. N.

Resolved, That tlie Mayor and Council of the City of Macon are hereby recommended and in structed to subscribe the sum of Two Hundred Tlie “Bridge over Knmlall’s CrecU,” Tlie scene of the late terrible disaster on the Muscogee Rail Road near Columbus, is of stone, spanning the Creek with a single arcli, some forty or fifty feet wide. We learn that it has always been regarded as one of the best pieces of masonary of the kind in Georgia, and its most calamitous demolition is wholly attributable -to the action of natural causes against which, what was deemed at the time extraordinary provision, proved unavailing.

Southern Manufactured Silk.—We were shown a few days since a beautiful white silk pocket handkerchiaf, manufactured at South Union Kentucky. An agent of the Shaker Society at that place, passing through our village selling garden seed, exhibited some half dozen of them, when they were all pur chased by two or three public spirited gentle men standing by, not only because of their ex ceeding beauty, durability and cheapness, but because the silk was raised and the article affected, amiable young woman. Her sister is about twelve years of age, and a bright and pretty child. One of Governor Hammond’s sons—a gentleman about twenty-five years of age. and a young man of excellent ability and promise—is a member of the present House of Representatives of the State. He principally manages the large plantations at Beach Island, where the family reside, and is a practical, well informed man. It may appear strange that while the majority of the people of the State are moderate and conservative in their sentiments, a Grand Jury should just have re fused to find a kill of indictment against a gang of pirates, or slave traders, who have clearly broken the laws of their country. It must be remembered, however, that this Rich land district is the very hot bed of slave trade ultraism, even as Syracuse is in your own State the forcing ground for rank abolitionism.
