General Sherman wept the other

For more than thirty yenra after the
eity of Baltimore was laid ont, con
Dieting interest kept her down, and
after midyears straggle, sbe began
la overcome opposition, and, a" at
onoe, to double her population every
decade. All geographers agree that
in that day ho etty over progressed
like. Baltimore. Sbe is now a splen
did eity and bids defiance to her com
petitors.
Bat tbe opposition to Baltimore
was notbingJik* U>st.which has been
directed against Brunswick. I
satisfied tbst no city bos ever been
bnilt which had to pass throngb great
er straggles and opposition than
Brunswick. If half the energy bad
been expended to boild that baa boon
to destroy bor, sbe wonld now have
20,000 population. In order to un
derstand your city and her fortunes
thoroughly, wo must take into con
sidoration the fact that Bruoswick,
like Atlanta, is the creature of rail
roods AU she possessed was her
magnificent harbor, her position be
side the sea and bor proximity to the
groat valley of tho Miosissippi.
It looks os if when tho groat Crea
tor laid out this grand continent, that
this port was fixed by omnisciont wis
dom to bocomo tbo outlet to this
North American continent, not to Eu
rope alone, bnt to all tbo world East
ward, and espdcii y Sooth America
and tho West Indies.
If a mathematical chart had beoo
made according to tho moat sciontifio
knowledge of tbe geography sod to
pography of this vast continent, of
both North and Sooth America, they
oonld not have fixed an entrepot more
oentral than that of tbo harbor of
Brunswick.
Bnt the dimdvnntagea under whioh
Brunswick labored wore, that sbo was
cut off outiroly from tbo interior by
heavy and almost impnssablo swamps,
and a vast pino barren, heavily laden
with tbo best of tiinbor, bat with no
rivore or other moans of bringing it
to market.
Tho harbor and its advantages wore
known to tho world almost from (he
vory first settlement of this country.
Bat bow to utilize thorn was the ques
tion. Capitr.'ists from Boston first,,
after tbo introduction of railroads, un
dertook its development, bnt tho great
opposition with which thoy wore met
forced tllbm to desist—aitor snrvoy-
iog and entt : ng ont tho right of way
of ons railroad, they abandoned tho
enterprise. Tho whole work stopped
for twonty years, when it was taken
up by capitalists from Now York.
About 1850, everything that human
offort conld do or hamnn ingenuity
concoivo was brought in active oppo
sition to them, nml lias been constant
ly kept op ovor since, to "stranglo
Hercules in his cradle.” But the
great world has seen tbo necoaeity of
this dovclopmont, and capital from all
parts of tho civilized world hassonght
investment hero, diroctod by the high
est commercial intolligonco, and Her
cules Las stretched ono of his arms to
tho Great Lakes of tbe North and tbe
appor Mississippi valley, and tho oth
er across to Texas oud Traus-Miusiss-
ippi, feeling for the l'acifio ocean. If
Hercules conld not bo strangled in
bis cradle, is any man so insane as to
suppose ho ean now with these two
arms? Lot tho pythons beware lest
they first bo choked.
I consider tho good destiny of
Brunswick now ns a fixed fnot; that
her destiny is closely linked with tho
destiny of tho M.ulh, and if the South
succeeds Brunswick will succeed, and
if Brunswick should go down, it will
only be when the South goes down
with her. Bnt I do not believe cither
or thorn will go down as long as n jnst
God controls tho destinies of men.—
Both have been greatly wronged and
will yet receive a just retribution.

A gentleman writing to the Condi-

tho old Selma and Greensboro to this
point. Connection with Mobile will
be secured.
In speaking of the above meeting,
tho Selma Tima Bays editorially:
"In a talk with Mr. Wolffe last night
we learned tbst the new organizatioir

filling tho gap between Greeniboro
and tbe Alabama Great Southern.—
There hoe boon trouble about secur

or obviated very soon. If tbe right
of way ia not secared readily, an en
tirely new - lino to the north of Saw-
ycreville, recently surveyed, will be
bnilt. Mr. Wolffe confidently asserts
that tbe lino will be in operation in
seventy days, say by March 1st.
“The namo Cincinnati, Solmn nnd
Mobilo naturally suggests tho question
as to how Mobilo wonld bo reached
from here. Mr. Wolffo says that the
rivor will bo usod for tho present as
another ontiet from Solmn, bnt that
railroad communication will probably
bo secured soouor or Inter. Tho com
