Trouble in the Know Nothing Cmup “ \
Whig Trick.”
The Georgia Citizen, a zealous Know Nothing
paper of large circulation, published at Macon,
thus protests against the action of the late Know-
Nothing Convention at Milledgeviile. It would
indicate that the jack-planing and re-varnishing ol
their platform threatens to lose that versatile par
ty numbers of its old supporters, without a very
bright prospect of supplying their places by con
verts from the ranks of the Democratic anti-Know
Nothing party. The Know Nothings, in leaving
out “by particular request,” the part of Ilamlet,
will be in no need of the prayer of that melan
choly Prince:
"Oh. that this too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, and dissolve itself into a dew.”
They are, in fai t, melting and dissolving away
under the fire of popular indignation.
From the Georgia Citizen.
Proceedings of the American Conven
tion.
F->r the sake of our readers who did not receive
our Extra Cifi ■•’. of Dec. 22, containing the pro
ceedings of the late American Convention, at Mil
ledgeville, we .e-publish the same on th>> last page
of to-day's paper. To the general principle--: em
braced therein, we have no thought of dissent, bin
are not so well satisfied with th ? policy which the
Convention thought proper to pursue in a rc-con
struetion of the American Platform, to suit per
haps tlie fastidious tast--% of certain gentlemen,
who have, at the last hour, condescended to make
common cause with us. The Philadelphia Plat
form was good enough, and ought to have been
re-endorsed by the Convention, as Judge Cone de
sired and labored in vain to effect. Instead of
that, however, we find thatihe. Philadelphia Plat
form has beeu juck'-nUtned here and re~varnish- ’
there. Here a plank has been removed and anoih
-er substituted. Here a km.-.-hole bus been filled
w ith gutta-percha, and there a rough place has
been smoothed over with the “oil of blarney.” In
fact, we do not drink that all the tinkering done
has beeu either profitable or judicious. It has
only served to show that there was some uncertain
ty in the principles of the party, where none ex
isted in reality. With us cardinal feature of
Americanism is eternal hostility to conferring po
litical power upon any men or set of men who o we
paramount civil aud spiritual allegiance to a for
eign poteir ate. To emasculate our Platform, then,
of the auti-Catholio feature, is to offer us the plav
of Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet left out! That
ts not the “feast to which we have been invited,”
So much on that point.
Another part of the proceedings of the Conven
tion appears to us to have been exceedingly impo
tic at the present juncture, if not disastrous to the
best interests of the party. We allude to the ap
pointment, as delegates and alternates to a nation
al convention, of men who never hited a hand or
raised a voice, in public defence of our principles,
during the late hard struggle. To alt intents and
purposes that was managed so as to “ pretermit”
th* claims to honor of many gallant men of both
wings of the party—the Whig and Democratic - -
for the benefit of some doubtful or “fishy” politi
cians of the old “ Tertium quid" school, who have,
for years, “had no place to go.” For instance,
how many old line Democrats are placed on the roil
of delegates and committees? How many, oa the
contrary, are Fillmore men, who are now moving
heaven and earth, all over the country, to push the
gentlemen forward as the American candidate fi.r
the Presidency, p.,r . ..v”, r „. without anv assur
ance whatever, that we have seen, that he lias ever
identified himself with the cause’uf Americanism'-
We repeat that the proceedings of the Convention
have this appearance to many of our most candid
and judicious friends. We day be wrong, and if
so, will rejoice to be so com iucetl, but we certain
ly cannot be expected to join in ” a wild hunt " to
restore effete aud defunct Whiggery to power un
der the guise aud name of unadulterated Ameri
canism! No! no! Gentlemen! when you engage in
any such “Whig Trick,” please "count us out” of
the scrimmage. We are determined to know noth
ing, politically, save the “ pure and undefiled reli
gion ’ of a vital, practical and thorough renova
tion of the American Republic from the baneful
affects of all “Foreign Influence” and every spe
cies of our unconstitutional higher-laiciem ! That
is the i i>ar on which we have laid our rows, and
may our “right hand forget its cunning,” if we
falter by the way.side or prove recreant to our trust-
Edgefield and Augusta Railroad.
We present to our readers an article signed
"Enterpriss” which appeared in the Chronicle <T
Sentind, of Wednesday morning. Having now
the opportunity of choaing between two Railroads,
both of which offer great inducements for the city of
Augusta to aid in their completion, our citizens can
decide for themselves, which they will favor, aud
to what extent. The Edgefield and Augusta Rail
road has certainly much to commend it to the fa- I
vor ol Augusta, if the statements of “ Enterprise'
are strictly accurate. We take no issue with the
writer upon his facts, but are much inclined to j
doubt the correctness of itis conjecture that I
South Carolina will, under any circumstances, !
abandon her great undertaking, the Blue Ridge
Railioad, which she has so long had deeplv at heart,
and in which she, as also the city of Charleston, !
has already invested so much money. It is in our
opinion “manifest destiny,” that that road will be
built.
Ihe Edgefield and Augusta road has to recom
mend it, a connection with Anderson, only seven
miles longer than by the \ alley Road, at a much
less expense. But a short road of fifty-two
miles, if operated independently, is liable to the
objection of being less apt to prove a profitable j
investment to stockholders, than a road nearly i
twice the length, when both run through an 1
equally rich, fertile and populous country.
We feel every confidence that either or both j
roads would add greatly to the prosperity of Au
gusta. That prosperity must advance with the
number of facilities of arrival to, and departure
from, the city by railroads. We are not the advo
cates of increasing the inlets of trade and travel
to our city, and blocking up the outlets. To invite
railroads to our city, coupled with obstacles to its
rich tributes of trade and travel, passiugout so as to
reach the seaboard, would be about as sensible as j
to erect a dam across the Savannah river, or to j
erect upon it a toll draw bridge for the purpose of I
i bringing contributions to its commerce. In j
this view we have been a consistent advocate of
i freeing our bridge, for the convenience of mutual j
I trade and intercourse between South Carolina and :
Georgia. For a like reason, we make no objection j
to the charter of the Savannah Valley Railroad, j
which requires a connection by steam or other la- 1
oomolive power between that road and the South ’
Carolina Railroad.
The connection by steam we would object to, be
cause of its local inconveniencesand possible dan- I
gers. But to the same locomotive power which now ;
connects the two depots of the South Carolina road. ;
>ve would interpose no objection. Nor do we see how
the refusal to allow the Georgia and South Caroli- ;
na Roads to connect by the use of horse power I
.•nures to the benefit of Augusta.
On the contrary, every intelligent citizen must |
oe aware, that the disconnection costs the two |
roads annually about §15,000, the interest on more I
Ban §200,0u0, aud this §15,000 enures only to the
benefit of the owner of the mule trains, which
transfer the freights from one road to the other.
No body else in our city levies a tribute, even indi
rectly, upon this freight; and this is so far fortu
nate for our city, with the increase of obstacles and
expenses,there would be for diminution of the trade.
In fact, this break of connection has already
lost and is daily losing to the Georgia Railroad, in
which Augusta is a large stockholder, a very
large amount of business. Previous to the con
nection at Macon of the Central and Macon and
Western Railroads, un immense amount of produce,
seeking an Atlantic sea-port cante by Atlanta,
down the Georgia Road, from points even as low
down as Macon ; aud goods destined for Atlanta
and points beyond north aud west, and points on
the Macon aud Western Road down as low as
Griffin, Bartlesville and Macon, passed from or
through Augusta and up the Georgia Railroad.
Now that business is lost to the Georgia Railroad,
and the business, not small in amount, incident to
it, which Augusta used to got, is also lost. It will
never be restored until the policy adopted at Mason,
by Railroad connections is imitated by Augusta.
Prior to this, the stock of the Macon and Wes
tern Railroad was freely offered at §6O to §7O per
share, now it is above par. Then the Georgia
Railroad stock was above par. Now it is below
par. It may be said thal while the policy here
indicated would benefit our railroads, it would
injure Augusta. Such is not the experience of
Macon. It' some interests have suffered, others
have been beneiitted to a degree which more than
restores the equilibrium. Macon has increased
notwithstanding, in population and wealth.
Atlanta is now the third city in Georgia, in pop
ulation aud business, and is fast treading upon the
heels of Augusta in the race of competition. Yet
. Atlanta has no disconnection of Railroads entering
i "
her corporate limits. She has, in fact, no mule
team trains traversing her streets, and no breaking
of bulk of car loads destined for points beyond her.
The true maxim is, let trade have every facility
to reach a city, and to passthrough it, leaving it
to the enterprize of its citizens, and to the legiti
! mate competition of trade to contend for it with
| points for which it is ultimately destined.
These remarks are submitted in view of the last
; sentence of the Charter of the Edgefield and Augus
! ta Railroad.
“ This act shall be of no effect until a direct com
; tnunication, by steam, or other locomotives and
j ears, and a common track and depot between the
: Georgia Railroad and the South Carolina Railroad,
j be established or secured."
j Our citizens will not tolerate the proposition of a
j connection by steam. The question then arises,
j under this provision, is a mule a locomotiveJ If so,
I a team of mules hitched to a car comes up to the
intent and spirit of the Charter, and some hope may
! be indulged that our neighbors of South Carolina
may one day bo put in Railroad communication, and
conduct business and social intercourse with the
people of Augusta. But the old fogy policy, of in
sisting on a break of connection between ail the
Railroads coming into our corporate limit*, i- still
in the ascendency among us.
i. Dog Law iu Alabama.
in the recently published “head notes of Deci
sions” in the Supreme Court of Alabama, which
we rind iu the Montgomery Mail, we extract the
following. It originated in the Circuit Court of
Dallas county, and the parties were Barker vs.
Wise. It was an action brought under the code to
recover damages for shooting a dog :
Parker Wise— Front Circuit Court <f Dallas.
Action under code to recover damages for
Shooting a Dog],
1. Injury to Jog actionable. —A dog is a species
j of property, for an injury to which an, action at
■ | law may be maintained ;‘aitd if is not necessary 1 '

sustained from every wrongful injury to property,
although there may be in fact no sensible damage;

j damages, may be assessed by the jury, although
the property Itself had no pecuniary value.

Fire.—Last night, about 11 o’clock, the brick
building on the N. W. corner of Broughton and
Montgomery streets, running through to Congress
street lane, was discovered to be on tire, the flames
burstiug from every part of the building simulta
neously with the first alarm. It was evidently the
act of an incendiary. The destruction was com
plete, both to the building and its contents. A
portion of the building, on Broughton street, was
occupied as a cabinet-maker’s shop, by Messrs.
Newmake A Miller, another by——, as a wheel
wright shop, aud another, on Congress street lane,
by Jlr. J. Rourk, as a blacksmith shop.
The adjoining building, a large wooden tene
ment on Broughton street, occupied by Dr. W, T.
Park, was very much injured, the Eastern portion
and the roof being burnt, and the rest much dam
aged by the water from the hose pipes. This build
ing might have been saved with but trifling loss,
were it not for the difficulty of obtaining water, on
account of the ice in the hydrants. All the build
ings were owned by the estate of the late Dr. C.
P. Richardsone, on one of which, that occupied by
Dr. Park, there was an insurance iu the Southern
Mutual Company of §2,500; we were unable to as
certain whether the block destroyed, or its con
tents, were covered by insurance. Dr. Park’s fur
niture was removed, but much damaged by rough
usage. It was insured to the full amount of loss
sustained. —Savannah R.nnUican , 25 th ins!.

From the Chronicle Jh Sentinel, Jan. 24.
Edgefield and Augusta Railroad.
Hr. Editor—l noticed in a recent number of the
Constitutionalist, a communication signed “ Obser
ver,' calling attention to the fact that the Legisla
ture of South Carolina had, at its last session,
granted a perpetual charter for building a Railroad
from Augusta via Edgefield C. H., to any point on
the Greenville A Columbia Railroad in South Ca
rolina. It is also known that the Legislature of
tnat State at the same session, granted an amend
ment to the charter of the Savannah Valiev Rail- I
road Company, giving them permission, tinder cer- 1
tain conditions, to cross at Bull Sluice, aud build j
their Road from Anderson C. H., S. (’., to Aueusta. !
So that Augusta now has two projects offered for !
extending her system of Railroads into the interior ;
of South Carolina. If our city be wise, she will i
use every exertion to have both these Roads built j
into Carolina. But if she cannot construct both of
them, and must needs select between them, 1 wish
to present a few thoughts why our town ought to
give the preference to the Edgefield Road.
1. It is The shortest connection that Augusta can
form with the great Rabun Gap Railroad, by a
small subscription on the part of the city. I am
informed by reliable authority, that the Road can
easily be built, if Augusta will aid the friends of
the measure in South Carolina, by a subscription
ol two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, whereas
at least half a million of city funds will be neces
sary to secure the construction of the Savannah,
Valiev Road.
2. The distance from Augusta to Anderson, bv
the Edgefield Road, via New Market, is but five, or
at most, but seven miles further, than by the Val
iev Road, and Augusta can thus connect with the
Rabun Gap Road two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars cheaper than she can by the Valley Road.
3. The proposed Edgefield Road would not only
bring us groceries and provisions from the West,
but it would also fetch us a vast deal of cotton,
which is now sold at Abbeville C. IF., Laurens (’.
H., Newberry ('. 11., and at Columbia. This cotton
would necessarily find its way to Augusta by the
Edgefield Road, because we can and do always give
more for cotton than any interior market iti South
Carolina, because we have choice of two seaports,
and can forward produce with greater certainly,
cheapness and dispatch, than any inland town of
South Carolina, except Hamburg, by reason of the
tact, that competition among the three routes from
this place to Charleston and Savannah, enable us
to send the same article from Augusta to the sea
board for fifty per cent, less freight, than has to he
paid on it from Columbia to Charleston.
4. The Edgefield Road might he built to New
■ ry C. 11., and lienee to Chester C. H., as there
-s now a charter for a Railroad from the former to
the latter place ; and when the connection is made
betv.een Greensboro’, N. C\, and Danville, Va., Au
gusta will then have two rival routes for the great
Northern and Southern trade and travel, passing
through her limits. The Edgefield Road being the
shorter aud the more direct, of the two routes, as
well as running farthest from the Southern Atlantic
cities, would necessarily get most of the business.
This Edgefield Road would restore the great North
ern and Southern trade and travel to the identical
channel, which it followed previous to the day of
Railroads.
5. If the Edgefield railroad be built to New
berry C. 11., it will there connect with the Laurens
road, which will undoubtedly be extended some
dav, either 10 Spartanburg or Greenville C. H.,
from one of which places the long talked of French
Broad road, will certainly be built before many
I rears. The people of East’Tennessee and Western
North Carolina, as well as those of Greenville aud
Spartanburg Districts, in South Carolina, are now
agitating the subject, and meet with considerable
encouragement. ' Besides, if the Edgefield road
be continued from Newberry C. 11., to Chester C.
11., under the existing charter, it will likewise in
tersect the Spartanburg and Union road, which is
i now being built. So that, if the Edgefield Road
i were built from Augusta to Chester, our town
i would be connected bv direct communication with
| the Greenville and Columbia railroad, the Rabun
i Gap road, the French Broad road, (should it ever
be built,) the Laurens road, the Spartanburg and
j Union road, and the Charlotte road, all at a point
| above Columbia.
, 6. Augusta now gets most of the produce us the
Savannah Valley, by the river and canal. There
fore, the Valley railroad would only be valuable
; to her, as a connecting link with tlie Rabun Gap
I road, which will not be completed in many years,
! and perhaps never, as thai road has to be’ built
| over a very rugged country, through tunnels that
. will cost untold millions, and the State of Soutli
Carolina may abandon the enterprise. It is an un
j dertaking by the State and the city of Charleston.
The former has one million of subscription in
it, and has indorsed the bonds of the company
: for another million. The city of Charleston also
| has a million of stock in it, while private in
dividuals own but about half a million of its stock.
1 The Rabun Gap project met with very formidable
opposition in South Carolina, and that opposition
' is increasing instead of diminishing, from the fact
that the people of Carolina are now being heavily
1 taxed to pay interest on the State bonds which were
issued to procure the million of money that the
State subscribed. It is absolutely certain that the
State will have to grant wo aid to the Rabun Gap
Company, or the Road will never be completed;
and from appearances, the platUers will not sub
mit to have their taxes raised still higher, especial
ly as South Carolina is at present engaged in erect
ing a very costly State House, which must be Du ill
by issuing other bonds to an amount exceeding a
million, and taxing the people to pay the interest
on (hem, and some day to redeem the principal. I
was told, recently, by a distinguished Carolinian,
that lie had serious fears of the Rabun Gap road
biting abandoned, and that he thought the people
would luru their attention to the French Broad
road, which has always been the route to the west
most favored by South Carolina. But North Caro
lina steadily refused, for many years, to grant a
i charter to the French Broad road, and South Caro
lina only adopted the Rabun Gap project as a last
chance to connect with the West. There is a
strong party, however, in Carolina, anxious to build
both roads; and the proposed Edgefield road would
connect Augusta with the liabun Gap or the
French Broad route, whenever either or both
should be built. The French Broad road must, in
the nature of things, be completed some time, us
there is now a charter for the whole of it, and Au
gusta will be blind to her interest, if she fails to
throw out her arms to intersect all the Carolina
roads above Columbia.
7. If Augusta subscribes §500,000 to the Valley
: road, she will have to give a bonus, perhaps, of
§IOO,OOO to the Rabun Gap road, or take stock in
that road to the extent of a half, or whole mil
lion, for the privilege of forming a connection at
Anderson C. If.
| 8. If Augusta fails to get the Edgefield road
connecting her with Chester C. 11. direct, another
road will he surely built from Atlanta or Washing
ton, in Georgia, to Anderson or Abbeville C. 11., in
Carolina, and thence to Chester C. il„ or to Char
lotte, in N. <’., thus carrying business above, not
. through our city. The people in the upper part of
Georgia and South Carolina are now agitating the
subject of constructing a road, North and South,
through the two States, abov Augusta. Again,
the North East, rn road in South Carolina, and the
Charleston and Savannah mad will both soon be
' completed, by means of which, another great route
of Northern and Southern trade and travel will
pass below Augusta. The Edgefield road will ho
the most direct route from Richmond, Va., through
the v. ry centre of the States, going South. This
Edgefield road, therefore, offers more induce
ments to Augusta than any road which she could
possiblv build, and I earnestly hope that her peo
ple will reflect long before they reject the Edgefield
for the Valley road ‘ Enterprise.
Important to Postmasters.— Oitr attention has
been called to the fact, that some postmasters are
in the habit of sending back to the mailing office
; letters reaching them for delivery, because they
were not prepaid by stamps, but by money. This
is wrong, and arises from a misapprehension of
the law. In no case, indeed, should a letter, after
it has reached the office of delivery, be returned
l for postage, much less should it be returned be
cause the postage was not paid by stamps. It is
the general duty of postmasters to see that letters
are prepaid by stamps, but when (havingbeen pre
paid in cash, either through ignorance of the law,
or inadvertence, or want of stamps on the part of
the mailing postmaster) they reach their destina
tion, it is the duty of the postmaster to deliver
them the same as though prepaid by,.stamps. It
will necessarily happen, in the introduction of the
stamp prepayment system, that supplies of stamps
■ will fail to reach some of the small and remote
offices at the proper time, and it would be doing
violence to the citizens of those localities to return
and thus delay their correspondence, because of a
circumstance so unavoidable. Entertaining this
view of the subject, the departmenent has instruct
ed postmasters, not having stamps, to forward let
ters as heretofore when prepaid by money. If an
unpaid letter, from any cause, gets into the mail,
and reaches its destination, it should be deliw
ered on payment of postage at prepaid rate.
