The action of tbe meeting of cUisens, yesterday,
upon the question or subscribing to tbe stock of
the Atlantic A Gulf Railroad, will be found in

hardly long enoogh to attract attention—yet-tbey
are significant and to the point In this new de-
mand upon her energy and enlightened publio

There is another potnt to whtoh we would call

Thomas, the Black Republican candidate, received
but twelve votes in the whole city—did not the

Public Meeting.
Pursuant to a call of His Honor, the Mayor, n
meeting of a portion of the citisens met in the
Connell Chamber. His Honor, B. 0. ABderson,
Mayor, was called to the Chair, and E. A Soullard
was requested to act as Secretary.
The following resolution was offered by Wm. B.
Hodgson, Esq., and passed by the meeting.
Reeolved, That the Mayor and Aldermen are
hereby instructed to subscribe two hundred thous
and dollars to the Atlantic A Gulf Railroad, so
suon as they are assured that the sum of four hun
dred thousand dollars has been subicrlbea, bona
fide, to said road by other parties.

Main Trunk Road.
It will be soon by the proceedings of the poblio
meeting of citUens, at tbe Town Hall, that this
City has subscribed $200,dOO towards the con
struction of tho Main Trunk road. It premises, to
be sure, tbe snm of $400,000 to be raised by the wes
tern counties and from other sources; of that there
can bo no doubt There are positive assurances
of that subscription. Thus tbe sum of $000,000
being secured, the State will subscribe $600,000
additional, according tp the charter.
Dr. Soreven’s road will be up to tho inltioloolnt,
at an early period; and iu extension to Waresboro,
by tho Main Trunk, in 1868, will bring cotton to
ns from the rich producing counties of Lowndes,
Thomas and Decatur. That is the the inevitable
resalt, wherever tbe road may bo located?
I was pleased to observe, by the protracted dis
cussion in tbe publio meeting at tho Exchange,
an almost unanimous expression ofopinlon, against
the issue of more city bonds. This is a measure
of publio policy, which cannot fail to be appreciated
by the present holders of city bonds. Capitalists
will now understand that their investments in
these seenrities, have reoelved additional strength;
or in other words, tbe people of Savannah refuse
to give additional mortgages upon their property.
They intend to pay off mortgages already existing,
by selling assots, os all wise men do in such eases,
and for the future, they intend to pay as they go.
City Bonds should be worth to-day, five per ceot.
more, than they were yesterday. X.

Borne preliminary refleotlone eeem indispensable
In tke consideration of a qaeetloa, which in the
United States Mas yet In lie Infancy, and of the
highest Importance to the Southern States.
Salt, whtoh the Bible place* in the first 1 rank, ae
a necessary artiele in domestio economy, has hotel
lavished by the hand of nature, with an abandonee
only equal to its utltilyi It exists in a state of
dUsolntlou and in Iho proportion of about 4 per
.cent, in all the ooeans which cover the earth.
From these inexhaustible. recipients the human
eklU can take it out, and nature itself teaches us
this industry, in showing the Salt cryatalisiOg, of
ten, on the sea shores, when climate, seasons and
locality fevor Uto evaporation of salted water.
Salt is also one of the most extensive minerals
to be fonnd la the bowels of the earth, and from
these saliferous strata it is extracted in a solid
state, like the eoal from the coal mine*. These
strata or salt rooks, being brought in contact with
fresh water produce salt springs, from which it
would be easy to take it out as from the ooean, by
means of atmospherio evaporation. They produce
also, the brine of many interior lakes whose shores
are covered with Incrustations. Curious examples
of this spontaneous orjstalisatlon are afforded by
the salt lake of Mormons and the dead sea of
Palestine. Numerous lagoons filled by high-tide,
formed by tbe flowing water having no vent, but
loaded with salt, aro also transformed daring the
warm season, under the Influenoe of the sun and
wtnds,lnto natural andextenslve salt-works, being
thus tbe first and raw model of tho fruitful indus
try whioh highly improved in Europe is now pro
posed to introduce in the Now World, with all the
progress made in the Old.
From these imperfect models which nature fur
nishes, we already learn that the production of
Salt, must ho as remarkable for tbe economy and
simplicity of this method, as fbr tbo extent of ite
products. Tbo prime matter is always at band,
and unlimited. We have only to seek for it in tho
oooan, in salt lakes, and salt springs, or in salifer
ous strata, by means of artesian wells, the agents
employed in its fabrication are not more expensive,
being the evaporating forces of the atmosphere,
inexhaustible a* the water, of the ocean, and which
it is only necessary for us to use with skill.—
Wherever these forces have been fUlly controlled
and based on truly scientiflo principles, salt has.
been produced in unlimited quantities; and as in
civilised lifo this merchandise is appropriated to
an infinite variety of purposes, every one has felt
tbe neoessity of obtaining a supply of tbo articlo
at the lowest possiblo price. Carrying it out in
this regard, the work of nature, human industry,
it may bo said, assisted by tho gratuitous power of
tbo sun aud winds, bas been enabled to produce
this necessary article of life, without any expense,
save only that which Is Incurred in its collection
and transportation,—therefore the mfaimtiM price
which in a normal state, would put it into market,
is always at band for every class of consumers.
As an indispensable auxiliary of nutrition, salt
is regarded as an article of universal necessity. It
is true, we take it little by little for tho eondfment
of our food; but bowover small, it stimulates and
controls us, as much ns our daily bread.
From the earlest times, salt has been regarded
as a powerful anti-septic, as a useful article for
curing fresh ment,andamoaus of providing against
future want and famine. To season and preserve
their rude food, barbarous people require a much
lnrger quantity of salt, if it werepossible, than
nations advanced in civilized life. They frequent
ly seek for it in tho tracks of wild beasts, who,
driven by tbe same neoessity, and guided by the
same instinct, are always tbe first to* discover
mineral, salt, or saline likes ond springs, and it is
also tbo caso, that tbe want ofialt or ignorance of
the method of obtaining it by the evaporation of
the ssa-wator, savage tribes, not being able to pre
serve their fish and game, aro exposed to the most
horrible femine, ana become anthropophagi I Aw
ful and unequivocal testimony of tho neoessity of
salt to tbo human race, ns tho triplo condition of
life, health, and social well-being.
This merchandize is almost as necessary in tbe
animal economy as the air which wo brentbe, and
liko tbe air, we can only appreciate its value when
deprived of its use. Tbonco arises tbe general in
difference in regard to tta production. Tbo price
is so small, why should wa calculate the cost?—
8uch is the answer. This, however, is the very
point in question: inasmuch as the cheapening
the market for salt will alone extend its nso and
utility and its consumption according to tbe uni
versal want of it In agricultural purposes, for
instance, how many millions of bushels, if salt
were cheaper, could be employed in the manuring
of cotton fields, the fattening of cattle, the pre
paration of oheese, the curing of meat, and flmuly,
for every thing whioh constitutes tho wealth of tbo
farmer.
The reduced price of salt is also a matter of
prime importance in the manufacture of glass,
leather, tbe varnishing of crockery, and indeed
the powerful productions of modern chemical skill,
the dcvelopinont of which seems to characterize
tbo progress of material civilisation.
Can our fisheries, whioh open suoh a wldo field
for our industry, so justly described as tbe agri-
culture of tho sen, be supported withont the UBeof
salt, and salt at the lowest price? Tho immense
production of the ocean cannot be immediately
ooosumed, and without this preservative, tbe excess
beyoud present consumption must necessarily be
destroyed. But tho sea which gives us this super
abundance of fishes, also gives us, almost with tbe
same facility, tho article necessary to preserve it;
and thanks to this facility, tbo harvests of tho
flserraen, supply an immonso population in the
most distant ports of the shore or in foreign coun
tries, being thus ono of the first ortloles of com
mercial wealth for the exporting nation.
Tbe shipping, as tbe fishing interest, inquires
also every day on the cbeapno-s of salt, for salt is
usefully employea in the preservation of wood.
Why at firtt not employed for preserving plank
rouds and plank streets, whoso durability is so
much shortened by rains and fresh water? Their
keepingin repair is so burtbensomo for tho cities and
publio enterprises, it would be worth indeed to try a
better preservation of tholr new planks saturated
with salt water. But with tho actual cost of salt,
the trial would turn to much expense, and it is
given up. Mcanwhilo, ship builders often load
now vessels with salt in order to saturate tho hold
ond sides with saline particles, to counteract tbo
depredations of worms and Insects which are so
destructive to ships. This operation is also done
in the ship ynrd, and we find many American ship
builders employing laborers whose only duty is to
wash all the time with concentrated salt water, the
new timbers and planks of tho ship, while on tho
stocks; consuming in this way about flvo hundred
bushols of salt for a ship of 1,000 tons. What is
the result of it? If salt was costing only 10 cents
a bushel, Instead of the present average rate, the
cost would not exceed $50; at the selling price of
tho French salt, at 6 cents a bushel, It would be
ouly $25, and fur nil the Amerlcnn ship building
interest, it would yearly save, perhaps, several
hundred thousnnd of dollars.
But salt posses another infiuoncc In maritimoln-
dustry. This industry requires from all parts of
the world, not only useful transports, but heavy
burthens and encumbering merchandise ? for U is
tbo weight and the volume independently of the
Intrinsic value of the cargo, which regulates tbo
freight. Iu this respect, therefore, salt, as a
bulky article, fully recommend ngain itseir to
the shipping interest. It will rival tho cotton of
tho Southern States, tho coni of Englnnd, and the
wines of France, and will constitute for the com-
mercinl morinc, a freight of the first class, of which
no groat and prosperous nations should ever bo
dispossessed. It is for this reason that tbe Veni-
tinns, in tbo time of their glory, rcgnrded It as nn
artiole of commercial superiority, and were always
jealous of their monopoly, and furnished salt not
only for tholr own consumption, but supplied the
cities of the Levant, in exchange and payment of
tbo spicos brought home from those places. Por-
tugab as long as she retained the ascondency In
the East Indies, pursued the samo polioy by sup
plying those countries with salt from Lisbon and
the Capo do Verdo Islands. At this very time
England carries on tho same speculation in respect
to tbe whole world, and particularly to the United
States. She exports, only from Liverpool, forty
millions bushels of salt, or ono million of tons.
Thon it is no doubt, in tho question of commercial
supremacy, tho salt plays an influential part, and ns
an eloment of universal transport, it oan decide
the superiority in tho race of maritime powers.
Let then the Amerlean people produce on his
Southern shores all tbe salt that they are consum
ing yearly in so progressive quantity. Let them
only transport tholr own salt to tbelr northern fish-
erics,and for the number of ships as to tbelr ton-
nage, the United States have forever left behind
their ancient nictropoly.
As to tho internal improvements, tho American
production of salt Is not of sooondary or special
utility, but of general and prime importance.—
Frultfbl mother of other industries, this manufac
ture will extend its progressive influenoe ovory-
where-lnfuBlng energy, and giving employment
to all olassos of soolety. To foraioo the advan
tages derived from a merchandise apparently so

will be (be case for all seoondkry purposes, In agri-

But let it be remarked that auxiliary arts which
accompany the principal industry, are only useful
to the nation, mistress of the latter. If, therefore,
the United States Mould abandon to foreign na
tions the. manofectore of salt, an artide,of such

The Masses Insulted.
"The American Party la dead," sing out tha
. , ig ont
mixed Democracy. That is, the principle of
intense American nationality does not pervade
the hearts of tbe American people. An intense
lore of country is dead, and Foraigniam under
the patronage of tbe so-called Democracy is tri
umphant.
Washington letter writers, in hot haste send
word to tbe Democratic organs throughout tbe
land "Fillmore will nofc receive the electoral vote
of a State in the Union," and what is eingular,
this occurs in the * * *
ccnrs in tbe paid correspondence of almost
every Democratic journal North and South. Tbe
contemptible trick is pntented nt Washington and
stereotyped in all tbe minor organs.
But the mixed Democracy, not content withforg-
iug their patent falsehoods, must go farther and
insult the people of these United States by look-
ing upen them as ignoramuses of tbe most lament
able kind.
Suppose, say they, in utter contempt of the good
senso and sound judgment" of tho nation, Bu
chanan, Pierce and Douglas are thrown overboard
by tbe dissensions of the Cincinnnti Convention—
it matters not; and then boastingly tell the mass
es, whomever we nominate at tbe Cincinnati Con
vention, untried he may be, unskilled in national
affairs, a sixth-rate the-people will elect him.
Tho Democratic gngdeons will swallow the bait,
the foreigners, like menials, will follow suit and
we shall
BbaH triumphantly elect him. They tell us in
nany words wo need hot appeal to the judg-
it, or to the good sense of tbn people. They
so many
ment, or to tbe good sense of ’tbn people. They
will tako tbe man whoever he may be limply be
cause their misters will it ao to be. ?
Tbo masses, heretofore, have poeketed this
national insult, and honco, they have some show
of reason to cry out again, "American principles
and love of country is dead in tho boarts of tbe
American people." Wbatan insult, and yet it is
daily thrown in oar flraei.—JV. O. Creole.
Effect off the Late Flood.
The disasters caused by the late floods in the
counties South of us can hardly be exaggerated.
In Giles county, especially, tbo damage caused is
immense, and altogether unprecedented. Rich
land Creek and its tributaries roso several feet
destruction stock of all kinds, particularly hogs,
cattle, and shoep, whilst tbo stripping plantations
of rails and farm buildings appear to be minor ca
lamities. One man lost two hundred hend of
sheep, and tbe Injury caused by the washing away
of tbo soil oan be hardly estimated. Nearly every
small bridgo on tbe turnpike from Columbia to
Elkton has been carried away, the two bridges
over Richland Creek barely escaping. It is un
derstood that numbers of mills have been de
stroyed.
But tbe most melancholy result occurred at
Lynnville, situated on the Turnpiko road about
fourteen miles North of Pulaski.
Lynn crcok, running through tbe town, rose to
suob a height on Tuesday morning, and so sudden-
ly, as to destroy almost without warning a house
occupied by a roan named Richardson, situated in
tbe lower part of the village, within some twenty
feet of the main rood. The building was crushed
in a few moments, the fnther nnd mother finding
themselves with an infant drifting down the angry
torrent, two other children bnving perished in bed
at the time the house fell. After floatiug with the
wreck about three-quarters of a mile, tne whole
family lodged against a tree, the father severely
injured, the threo children dead, and the mother
so jammed amongst tho drift, ns with the best ef
forts of tbo husband, barely able to keep her head
above tbe roaring waters.
In this condition they were discovered a little
after daylight, and horoically rosened by a young
man nnmed Isaac Bearden, who swam his horse to
tho spot, declaring bis intention to "savo them or
f ierish in tho nttompt." Others finally aided him
n tho generous endeavor. Such noble conduct
needs no oology, it is an honor to human nature.
It is reported that on oVorsoer nnd a negro man
have perished in tho sntne neighborhood. Alto
gether, the visitation has no parallel in tbe history
of that region since its,^ottlement—Banner.
Tiir Nicaraouan Minuter.—Pndro Viell, the
now Minister sent by GenernlWnlkor to Wash
ington, is thus described in tbe N. 0. Delta:
The Padre was at onq time a lawyer practising
in Granada, we beliero, and enjoyed very grant
prestige ns an accomplished jurist and a skillful
speaker, being almost^* effective in court as in
ohnmbors, in pleading os in ndvico. lie became
connected with some of: tbe political movements
which agitated Central ^morion periodically, nnd
bad to choose between^ exile nnd death as the
penalty of his patriotism, or bis rashness, or bis
ambition, or whatever U pay bo called. Aocord-
ingly, ho bad to leave Central America, and was
refused tbe privilege of returning in the character
of a lawyor, or n soldier, or a politician. Only
one role remained which he could play with any
adeqnnte ehnneo of sippets, and in duo timo he
resolved to porforra it, and ra-nppear in bis nutive
oountry under tbe protection of the Church and in
the surplice and stole of a Priest. A priest might
act as a lawyer when occasion required, but it is
somowbnt novel to find a lawyer with a sufficient
hardihood to become a priest. Thore is very little
affinity botweon brlofa and blblos, between psalms
and forenslo harangues, between the servico of
nn ordinary client; but Padre Vigil was able to
reconollo both, and exhibited nn equal amount of
Christ and the servico of ability for fees nnd fervor,
for briefs and beads, for the court and tho con
fessional, for cross-examination and the cross.
Thomaston and Barnesvillb Railroad.—The
Southern Recorder of Tuesday says:
We were gratified to find on a late visit to these
places, that this Railroad will bo put in operirtlon
within the present year, in time, it is said, to take
to market the growing crop. The money hns been
raised to pay for tbe iron and it ordered. Nothing
therefore, is likely to impede its completion. The
grading bolng finished, the timber for the super!
structure mostly on the spot, and tbe contract let
for tbo laying of the iron to a responsible and ex
perienced man, Mr. Gray, would appear to insure
its speedy ooropietion.

Where Shall we spend (he Summer!
ROUND HILL
Water-Cure & Motorpathic
INSTITUTE,
AT NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
I N all tho local advantages which render attractive an
inetitutlon for Invalid*, and a summer retreat for
other*, seeking relaxation and pleasure, thii stands alone
and unrivftllrd. For tbo gratification of rural tastce and
real enjoyment, It poarecroa many ndruntacea over moat
“watering places." Jenny Lind, after a throe months
•tay, called ft the “ Paradise of America." Families from
the South, find In it a lovely, nnd In every respect desir
able summer residence. 'Parents, anxious that tliclr chil
dren should possess good constitutions on entering youth
or adult ago, would find that a few months residence in
tho bracing mountain air nf Hound llill, with Its sys
tematic, invigorating exercises, would put them in pos
session of greatly enhauced powers of endurance, and
tlielr whole life would be likely to be more energetic,
from tho impetus thus given to physical development.
Dr. II. Ilalstwl, the proprietor, continues to imy par
ticular attention to Women's diseases and weaknesses.
Tha success which has attended hts method of treating
such complaints by bis systom of Motnrpathy has given
him a most extended practice. This system Is founded
on now pathological principles, and by It, permanent
cures aw effected with an case and certainty heretofore
unntUined. Ho also devotes himself to the cure of the
various kinds ofcbronlc diseases. Havingbeen for twen
ty years at the head of a Hydropathic Institution, and
within that time having treated many thousands of the
most complicated cases, ho has had an opportunity which
few have posicssed of acquiring skill in tho control of
protracted and difficult complaints.
