3IILLEDGEVILLE RAIL*
ROAD;
wru. IT EVER HE COMI’EEf ED t
This Road* i:i importance t» the cities of
■Vwgitrte. >nUei^evHlo, Macon und Columbus,
indeed to tic whole State, second to nene in
Georgia, lias l»cen prominently before the
public since 1988, nnd should luvr.' been
running, nnd in daily use, since 1840;
but, most unfortunately, it has been
nursed to death. Hour stands the case, and
what shall we do to reach the metropolis of
the State more intimately, iu all directions,
if we wish to preserve this place as the
scat of Government ?
Alter a lal*or of near twenty-fivo years,
during which time Convention after Conven
tion was held, for the purpose of building
this Road, an organization was attained a
short time before the war; subscriptions ob
tained, nnd the friends of the Road hoped an
early completion of their favorite project was
certain. The war, however, coming oil, when
about three-fourths of the grading had been
done nnd the iron procured for the line, all
further operations were suspended until the
cessation of hostilities. The iron which had
been procured for the Road was used by the
Confederate Government, although payment
was made to the Company therefor.
Thus matters stood up to the surrender of
our armies, say May 1st, 1803, when every
Road in the State, it is believed, without ex
ception, was more or less destroyed by the
armies on cither side—some being destroyed
lor nearly their whole extent, others in n less
degree.
With a single exception, and that our darl
ing project, all the Roads in the State went
to work at once nnd with a will, to rebuild
and put iu order their respective lines; and
now, after a little more than a year's time, all
the Roads have re-opened their lines for the
whole distance they were used before the
war. Some have extended their lines even
further than they were running before the
war, except a few miles on the Central Rail
road; but the Central Railroad, in tills time,
has rebuilt and put in use 120 milts of its
line.
Why is it, then, that the Road from May-
Held to Milledgcvillc, (the distance only thir
ty odd miles and the company having all the
time more means, in comparison to the work
to be done, than any other in the State,) lias
stood still and done nothing; while other
Roads, without a dollar in hand, have built
from 10 to 120 miles of Road each ? Why is
this? Can Augusta answer? She controls
the stock, or a majority of it. Cau it be that |
Augusta does not desire the completion of
this Road ? If so, it should have been an
nounced before the million of dollars which
have been sleeping in the road-bed for the
last five years, were invested. Looking at
things ns they were in May 1st. 1805, and
considering what other Roads have done, it
is asserted that with the conunoncs.' manage
meat and energy, the Road should now be
complete to Milledgcville, and daily trains
running from Augusta to Macon, via Gordon
and the CeatralJRailroad, (to which the latter
company cordially assents.) By such a con
summation not only the million of dollars
which have been lying idle for the last five
years would have been made productive, but
the Great Southern Mail might be taken over
this route after July next, when new contracts
will be made for the next four veers.
Docs Augusta desire the complct on of the
Road? If so, as she has the control, why does
she not go forward ?
While the Central Railroad Company has
built and put in use one hundred and twenty
miles of their road, and other Companies
have done what was necessary to re-open their
lines, what have the President and Directors,
done for the Milledgcvillc road ?
While the other Roads have hurried for-
ward in every way they could_and accom
plished their work without exception, this
Board not only did nothing, but actually
would not, or did not, have the annual meet
ing, nor any meeting of Stockholders, in 18G5;
for fear it would seem that the stockholders
might move.
Again, some months ago, some friends of
the Road in Macon, hearing that i:i order to
start the work it was necessary that the Com
pany should have $25,000 in cash, so that the
Bridges might be put under contract, raised
cash subscriptions to that amount i i that city,
with little or uo trouble. Strange to say,
the Directors when notified of what
had been done would not, or did
not call for the subscriptions; and thus the
matter stands.—but a small part o: the $25,-
000 having been paid.
The state of affairs liecoming intolerable,
the parties interested, commencing to grum
ble through the papers, some step, or pre
tended step, had to Ire taken. A Convention
of Stockholders is called to be held in Au
gusta, ox Mat IOtii 1900; but strange to say,
it is held the day before, on the Oth: and
those Stockholders wlm arrived promptly cn
the morning of the 10th, found to their cha
grin and mortification, that they had their
trip for nothing, the Convention having met
and adjourned the day before.
Thus stands the case: With the means the
Company has at its command, nnd has had
since May 1805; and considering what other
Ronds have done, there Is no reason why this
Rond from Mayfield to Milledgcville should
not be completed in four months from to-day,
or in any other four months since May, 1st
3805, and a doily Railroad connection crea-
•tod, -between Augusta and Macon.—
The questiou, however, so far us we
arc concerned, is not . so much what
•can be done, as what will be done; we
are but a small minority and can't answer.—
Will those who can I Will Augusta and her
stockholders tell us? We feel much interested
and beg a reply. The Rule of Three tells us,
that if only ten miles, front Warrenton to
.Mayfield, have been built in thirty (80) years,
the thirty odd miles from 3Iayfield to Mil-
'dcctgrville, necessary to complete the connec
tion. will require a time beyond our day and
generation; and we give up in despair.
What, then, shall we do ? for Milledgcville
must have other connections. We have but
little money; still we have some. A small
amount united to a .living, active, working
Company, will do more than a much larger sum
sunk in a Corporation dead in every thing
but name. Let us, then, appeal to the Cen
tral Railroad, and extend to it what aid wc
can to build the line from Eatontoa to Madi
son, thereby giving us one other outlet and
connection by Rajf, which, while it ifl impor-
. tant,.;uid will to 'some extent subserve our
purpoees,is notthfc one wc have expected,
For the Telegraph.
TO TIIE WOMEN OF TOE SOUTH.
Wo make an appeal to all the true-hearted
women of our State, and especially to those
who have not had their homes laid waste du
ring the late war, to assist us, in the last sad
duty we owe our brave countrymen who fell
at the battle of Resaca, 14th and 15th May,
1864, and whose bones still lie blcacliing on
the hill sides around us. The immediate re
treat of our anny, after that brilliant, but
disastrous engagement, and the occupation
of the country by the enemy, for more than a
year afterwards, prevented the proper inter
ment of our dead.
But shall they still lie unburied, a silent
reproach to us ? Shall those whom wc de
lighted to honor while living be less dear to
our hearts now, after having sacrificed all in
our common cause ?
No! no! the response comes—eagerly,
though mournfully, from the warm, sympa
thetic hearts of our Georgia women, ever
ready for every good work during the last
five eventful years, and they will not deny
themselves, all that is now left ns—burying,
and mourning our dead.
We would suggest that the ladies of each
city form Committees for the purpose of
makiug collections to be appropriated to this
sacred use.
Mr. John F. Green, a citizen of this neigh
borhood, has given a beautiful piece of
ground for our proposed cemetery, and he
will gladly receive, and use ns directed, all
money sent for the purchase of coffins, and a
suitable enclosure of the ground, assisted by
the
“ Women of Resaca”
Resaca, May 24th, 1866.
Con federates in Mexico.
A Radical Jenkins, writing to a Radical pa
per from Mexico under recent date, says:
Whose history since the close of the rebel-
ion has been identical with Mexico, as Maury,
Magrudcr, Wilcox. Watkins, Shelby, Price,
Harris, Hindman, Bee, Slaughter, Dunn, and
many lesser stars of the Confederacy, are
strangely scattered alter a strange connection
with this bogus empire. Maury and Jlagru-
dcr. lately dismissed from office as Chiefs of
the Bureau of Emigration and Sun-eying Gen
cral, know not what to do. Maury is in Eu
rope. Tom Reynolds, of Missouri, has been
with Magrudcr as Assistant in his surveying
department Broadwcll lias also been with
Magrudcr. Young Colonel Maury lias been
assistant to his father, and will now join his
father in Europe. Henry W. Allen, cx-Brig-
adier General of the Confederate States army,
and cx-Govcmor of Louisiana, lately editor
nnd proprietor of the Mexican Times, was
buried on Monday, the 23d ult., in the bury
ing ground belonging to the United States
Government, in full uniform of the Confed
erate States army. Jubal Early left for Ha
vana a few weeks since. Fiend Quantrell is
ensconced at Cordova, along with Shelby,
Price, Harris and others, who, waiting for
Max to fulfill his promises of land, purchased
some and named tlicir cabins Gnrlota.
({Judge Perkins is also at Cordova. Hind
man, Wilcox and Ledbetter are gone.—
Slaughter is running a steam saw-mill near
Orixava, and Colonel Green, and all others
not mentioned, have left the Capital for Texas
and their homes.
The mint of Guadalajara coined 336,000 in
gold and silver during the month of March.
The mint in this city has made no report

A N>ce Commest on Divorces.—Some
parts of the country, as is known, do a whole
sale business in divorces, and without much
rhyme or reason. The loose manner in which
they are granted is often the subject of com
ment, but the strangest case wc ever heard of
is the following, reported in the Louisville
Courier, of the Gth inst.; the divorce took
place at New Albany, Ind.:
“A divorce was granted, among many
others, in the case of McCartney vs. McCart
ney, but neither of the parties knew anything
of the pendency of tho suit; neither of them
were present when tho decree was rendered,
nnd only learned through their friends that
their marital bonds were sundcn-il. They
arc, and have been, living together most hap
pily, entirely satisfied with each other, and arc
strongly disposed to demur to the singular
and summary process by which their happy
relations were dissolved. How the case got
into court is entirely unknown to the parties,
but it is supposed to be the work of some mad
joker or envious' Benedict. Of course the
parties will have to get married again or pro
cure a reversal of the decree. This is another
and forcible illustration of the loose manner
in which tho divorce business is managed in
Indiana.”
Financial Relief for Georgia.—The
Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel says that T. W-
Chichester, Esq., of that city, who was ap
pointed by Governor Jenkins, tigent of the
State of Georgia, has made u temporary loan
of $400,000, in the city of New York, at alow
rate of interest which it is expected will re
lieve the Governor in his financial matters. _
Here is another instance of the manner in
which the bloody-minded Radicals oppress
the people of the South. They seem ready
to divide tlicir Inst loaf to relieve the poor and
suffering of the South.—Brounlotc.
You impcrsonitication of impudence and
misrepresentation! If wc waited for chari
table help, or kindness from “the Radicals,”
we’d wait till doomsday.
Well do you know that no Radical overdid
nor will lend money to the South! And you,
who penned that line, would you do such a
thing ? You’d let every Southerner starve
first.
There are some kind men at the North—
men kind enough to advance money to the
needy Sonth, at a fair rate of interest; but
they are not and never will bo numbered
among the Radicals. Away with you, for a
vile hypocrite!
