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 ' i show that he bad pecuniary value. ! 2. Exemplary damages allowable fur irespa.-s mi : property. —The law implies that some damage : sustained from every wrongful injury to property, although there may be in fact no sensible damage; | and if the injury is accompanied with circumstan | ces of aggravation, “smart money,” or exemplary j damages, may be assessed by the jury, although the property Itself had no pecuniary value. 3. Opinion of witness inadmisiable. —-A witness i cannot be asked, “ whether, from his knowledge of the dog. he did or did not consider him a nui j sance ?.” 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. The sclir. W. W. Fulton, Capt.
