It tree* fiinyly idle now to inu< the import Mice,
not to say U»# necessity, of completing this command-
ini artery. livery Railroad man in Georgia well
Ikiowi that large resources. Increased revenue and
great financial advantages to the State, are conse
quences hat awaiting the completion of this—main
trank Road, connecting hr nearly an air line our At
lantic ports,—both Savannah and Brunswick withtbe
great West, by the most direct rente ever yet project
ed—“the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Rail
Road—prononneed hy the lamented Caylor,'‘the route
of routs, of great directness, easy of construction and
<>f vast impo-tanee to the State. It waa at tbe in-
nance, and by the will and forecast of that earnest
and eminent Railroader, that this 'route of routes' was
flrst surveyed by the Muter Engineer of bis day, in
the South, Emerson Foote, and its present road bed—
by him defined and located,—had the wise and prac
tical man lived, whoso grasp of mind conceived and
planted this grand extension and oonneetion, his fi
naneial policy would hare been more fully develop
ed in that fixed purpose of his to carry forward Geor
gia's irou connections from our Atlantioiseaboard to
i the great Father of Waters, Suppose, for a moment,
we consider the past financial policy of the great Ccn
tral, under the wise administration of Mr. Cuyler.—
It is well known that this successfully managed cor
poration became a mammoth money power in the
' State; so much so, indeed, that it wu not unfrequent'
ly remarked—that, so far as the legislation of the
State of Georgia was concerned, in regard to her Rail
way system, that Mr. Cuyler influenced all that. It
wu that line of policy of his which so advantageous
ly dsveloped South-Western Georgia. The Central,
by endorsing the bonds of the South-Western Road,
• arried forward its extension to the Alabama line at
Ettfiaula; and also built the Albany and Fort Gaines
branches. In like manner, endorsing the bonds of
the Muaoogce Road, it too became another extension
to the Chattahoochee of the South-Western—likewise
endorsing the bonds of the Waynesboro’ Road and
the Estonton fcranqb, it so multiplied resources and
revenue, that its patronage and power wu command
ing thcougheut the State. .Unfortunately, however,
for a more extended system of Railway development,
e ilher-by Statp investment or by State endorsement
such rural interests and influences have uniformly,
for years put, been arrayed—for instance, the Macon
and Brunswick Road and the Central Road—that the
State han'tcen materially damaged in her revenues
from such-sources. -. So far aa such opposing influences
have been controlled by more liberal legislation ob
tained. and the State been permitted to test the expe-
icncy of Railway development, by direct investment,
Such demenstrat'on has been furnished in the con
struction Jimd management of the Western t Allan'
tie Rail.Road, aa presents an unanswerable commenta
ry on the wisdom of its projectors, advocates and dl-
rectors, do tar from impairing or jeoparding the true
interest* of the State, in a money, point of view, the
Western a Atlantic, under the judicious administra
tion of Governor Brown, bu not only paid large annual
revenues into the treasury, and ia still doing so, but in
that hour of Georgia'* deepest financial distress, it was
made the beaie of qer credit, whereupon, to negotiate
for means to pay her legislators, and to relieve tier
starting poor. May not Alex H. Steven*, Governor Jen
kins, and I verson-L- Harris, well refer with satisfaction
and pride io tbeir advocacy of this much more than State
endorsement, in the construction of so profitable and
enduring a monument to their determined wisdom and
will. It wa< well said by Speaker Hardeman, th* other
day, that if he erred In hi* purpose to extend aid to
important roods, he would err with many of the gifted
and wise men of tho State of Georgia.
Fortunately, new, In the necessities of opr pondition
the practical lesson* tarnished by the Central and by
the Western A Atlantic.Roads, u well as by the
speedy recuperation and successful management of all
the other road* in tho Slate, are baviog a wholesome
effect in po'nting to Railway extension as among the
readiest means of securing to our people an enlarged
development of Agricultural, Commercial, Manufactu
ring and Mineral resource*,Simply State endorsement,
of the bonds of snch importantBall Roads, asaro nowln
process of construction, and have the ability to secure
theSlate agaiastany contingency of lost to so ready a
mean* of commanding capital, without cost to the
State, aa must command itself, on abort reflection, to
tho mind of every experienced financier, and, when it
is remembered that one-third of the coat of each mile
of tho Rail Road ia in road bed, eulverting and cross
ties, it it at once perceived that largo and continuous
disbursement ef money it daily relieving the necessl
ties ef our worthy laboring classes along each and
every roiio of const reeling Railway. Thus de
veloping the resoncres ot our State on tho one
hand, cheapening and expediting transportation
on tho other, and at the same time affording em
ployment and bringing relief to large numbers of
our people. May it not be hoped that the
same relief.which ia being extended toother import
ant road* may also be extended to the Savannah, Grif
fin and North Alabama Road—already ninety three
mile*—nearly half the distance of the entire length of
its line, ha* been graded, culverted, and is now being
redressed,'preparatory to laying track, a large amount
of cross-ties and other material on hand; all paid for,
and the Oompany ran from debt. What Road can pre
sent stronger claims I What Road more remunerative
to the Bute, or to Its stockholders t What greater ne

snry, to be audited and settled.
Among those receiving the benefits cf the act
were a number of negro men end women, tbe
former claiming compensation for wives which
they had liberated by purchase, and the latter tor

clamorous for unrestricted privileges, held a mee
ting last evening, which waa presided over by Mr.

The entente which has taken place with the

to the fntnre course of the President. It is clear
ly foreshadowed that he will so ehape his policy aa
to harmonise the Radicals in Congress, and there
by reinstate himself measurably in tbeir good
graces. It must not be Inferred that he will fol
low them la any unwarrantable encroachments
upon the rights of any section, bnt he will most
sssnrdly concur with them In every polloy not for
bidden by tho Constltntlon. It Is now broadly
proclaimed that he will show greatly modified
views relative to suffrage, and othM 1 disputed points
