BY JAMES GARDNER.
SATURDAY -HORNING, FEB’Y IC.
The Meeting To-Night.
In response to a call from a number of citizens,
the Mayor has called a public meeting to be held
at the City Hall this evening at eight o’clock. The
object is to consult together as to the policy of sub
scribing for £SOO, noo of stock in the Savannah
Valley Railroad Company.
Mr. Toombs’ lecture in Boston.
We commence to-day the publication of Mr.
Toombs' lecture, delivered on the 28th ult., in Bos
ton. It us unnecessary for us to accompany its
publication with one single line of commendation j
the lecture will be read, at the present time, and j
be referred to in the future, as one of the ablest ;
expositions of the constitutional powers and du
ties of the Federal Government in relation to do
mestic slavery that has ever been deli' ered.
We shall conclude the lecture to-morrow.
Hancock Manufacturing Company.
jhe Centra! Sparta (rtorgian, of 1:1th ult..
aavs: “Mr. Monroe, of the Montour Company
arrived last week, after more than a month's pas
sag.’ from New- York. We understand he was de
tained by sickness. The necessary arrangements
not having been made, the sheriff has again taken
charge of the property purchased by them from
the Hancock Manufacturing Company, and adver- j
tised a sale. It is hoped that a private arrange
ment can be made by a transfer of the former sale, j
that will be satisfactory to all parties.
‘ Xi is asked by the opposition press, what north
ern Know Nothing voted for Aiken on the tinal
vote’’ We reply, Wheeler and Williams, of New
York, —Macon Messenger, Feb. 13.
And what kind of a reply is it? Williams, of
New York, is, for the first time, claimed as a Know
Nothing. On what authority? We imagine the
“initiated" editor will find it difficult to produce
any. Williams was the gentleman who voted so
long and so devotedly for Mr. Orr, of South Caro
lina? He never was claimed by the Know No
things, and never voted with them for Mr. Fuller,
and has never been reported such in any statement
exhibiting the political complexion of the House,
that we have seen.
Now, as to Wheeler! He is reported, by the
Messenger, to be a Know Nothing, but, if he is he
has taken very good care never to vote with them,
or for them, so far as it has met our observation,
oti any occasion of a party test. In the contest for
Speaker, he generally voted tor Williams, and
Williams for Orr.
The record is complete, that not one Know No
thing Horn the Free States voted for Aiken for
Speaker, and it is folly to dispute it.
Politics of New Hampshire. Mr. Orr, of
South Carolina, Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, and Mr.
Weller, of California, addressed a mass meet
ing of the Democracy of New- Hampshire at
Concord on Thursday last. Mr. Weller condemn
ed Know Nothingism very strongly. Mr. Orr de
fended the South against the charge of aggression
upon the right* of the North; and, in turn,
charged the North with continually infringing
upon the constitutional rights of the South. He
defended the compromise measures and the Ne
braska bill. Mr. Cobb, according to the report of
the Boston Post, "expressed his pleasant feelings
at meeting a New England audience for the first
time, and said that if the people of the different
parts of the Union understood each other better
to any of ihe evils which now arise from miscon
ception would be abated and the spirit of section
alism hi- lessened. The great principle of the Re
volution, which had been and should now be the
animating principle of the American Republic,
was self-government. The doctrine of non-inter
ference between the States in the matter of slave
ry was ably presented at length by the Speaker as
essential to the preservation and harmony of the
Union, and the errors of Nonw Nothingism were
fully exposed.
English Basks.—Tin 1 banking institutions oi
London show larger profits than our own. The
London and Westminister Hank i tlie leading joint
stock institution; has recently declared u dividend
equivalent to sixteen per cent, per annum, viz:
Five per cent, regular dividend, and bonus of live
per cent, for the half year. Capital, iil.nno, you;
deposits. £5.74A,000 p loans and securities, £0,120,-
U'"i. Thus the sums drawing interest are nine
times the amount of capital.
Material Aid.—The people of Hampshire coun
ty, Virginia, have decided, by a majority of more
than two-thirds of the whole vote cast, in favor of
a subscription by the county of *1 no, ooo to the
Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad.
COMMUNICATED.
To “ A Citizen.”
it-. Editor: An article appeared in the Chrotti
cla, some few days since, signed “A Citizen’,’’cau
tioning our citizens against any railroad connec
tion, and advising them to take warning by the
falte of Macon drawing the conclusion that by the
junction of roads there the prosperity of the place
has been almost annihilated—in other words that
out of nearly twenty-six thousand bales of Cotton,
received in January, less than two thousand, or
1-18, bad stopped in Macon.
In answer to “ Citizen," [ would ask him wliat
was the state of the case ]>reeiom to the railroad
connection ? By the returns previous to the con
nection, he will find that quite as large an amount
passed through without stopping, as since tlic
junction. The truth is, that Augusta has ever been
a good Cotton market; it is now, and no doubt al
ways will be. On the other hand, Macon never
was, and has no Banking facilities. She once pos
sessed a wagon trade, which has been removed, by
the South Western road, to Americas; and the
great advantage that would havejaccrued to Macon
bv the railroad connection, was prevented by the
heavy discrimination against her. This at first
was limited to twenty per cent., hut the Centra!
railroad, thinking this amount too small, induced
the Legislature to remove this limit, and it now
ranges from twenty to thirty per cent. We cheer
fully admit that with like discriminations against
Augusta, the great advantages to he expected from
the junction would be destroyed, but fortunately
we are protected by law from any discrimination
against us, and beside, unlike Macon, which has
but one outlet, we have three; and, therefore, there
is reason to believe that where all obstructions to
trade are removed, the total receipts will be large
ly increased, and that of Warehouses in a fair pro
portion Akoihkr Citizen.
[COMMUNICATED. J
James Gardner, Esq., Editin' (knutitutionalut:
1 cannot refrain from making public the intense
gratification I feel at the course recently pursued
bv President Pierce. After voting for him. in the
last Presidential struggle, niv feelings became en
tirely estranged from him on account of his ap
pointing policy, and especially on account of his
policy towards the Democracy in New York. In
conduetiug the Imuptnd:nt P.vs*. I felt that duty
constrained me to denounce the conduct of the
President, in allowing the "Softs" to sit down at
the table ot Democracy, as a weak and short-sight
ed policy ; though I always believed, and main
tained, that Gen. Pierce was actuated by the purest
motives of patriotism in the course which he pur
sued. The soundness of the views put forth in his
state papers, and his wholesome administration
•ichor* some of his appointments, could not entirely
appease the wrath and the prejudice of a Georgia
" Hard.” 1 intended that if Pierce should be the
nominee of the National Democracy, 1 would sup
port him. For if 1 did not go w ith the Democracy,
in the language of Mr. Webster, " where could 1
go?” Isay 1 should have given Pirrce my sup
port; but my feelings or prejudices would not have
gone with my judgment. I preferred the nomina
tion of some other man.
Now, however, "a change has come over the
spirit of my dream.” lam fully, unreservedly and
unconditionally a Pierce man. I had rather see
him nominated and elected, thau anv one else His
discussion of the constitutional theory of our gov
ernment, and his diagnosis of the negro mania,
presented in his last message to Congress, were the
John the Baptist which was the forerunner of the
mightier document that came afterward, in the
message referring to the Kansas difficulties. When
; I read the first, my prejudices against the President
were so far removed, that I became a “competent”
juror to judge of his case. And when the last doc-
I ument came out, I said, “surely the spirit of An
drew J ackson is upon the man who has the nerve
to take the positions assumed by President Pierce.”
My dear sir, Franklin Pierce, in his last mes
sage to Congress, occupying the position that he
does to give his views force, lias done more to se
cure the stability of this government, than has
been done by any other statesman since the iron
heart of the old hero ceased to heat at the Hermit
age. It is true, < ALHOUX and other men from the
1 South, have spoken in this way before. But tlieir
dicta were regarded as the language of sectional
ism and ultraism. It is true, that your Casses, and
Dickinsons, and Douglases, and Buchanans have
j enunciated similar sentiments, some with more
and some with less boldness. But these were re
garded as the opinions of private individuals. But
J- k inklin Pierce, standing upon an eminence from
which he is seen and heard by all the nations and
kindred of the earth, raises his voice, and savs to
the waves of fanaticism, “ Peace, he still.” When
did a President thus speak before? His utterance
' i* not looked upon simply as the private opinion of
an individual. But it is regarded as the mandate
’ of one of the mightiest nations of the earth. The
voice of the American Government says to Aboli
tionism, you shall not lay vour traitorous hand
upon the fair fabric of American greatness to raze
ir to the earth. For the heart that plans the trea
son shall, as certainly as the sun shines, feel the
dagger of the law.
It is not the South alone that should thank Pres
! ident Pierce for the position assumed by him. The
j whole country owes him a debt of gratitude. The
South is no more interested in putting down, at
! >he point of the bayonet, if need be, ihe ranting
hordes of abolition than the North. Under aboli
| tion regime, this Government cannot exist. And
1 have yet to learn that the Northern States of this
| Confederacy can get along any better without our
Constitution, than the Southern States. It is a
I gross error to look upon the contest between slave
j i vand the Abolitionists, as a fight waged for the
South alone. It is the battle of the whole country,
| and every inhabitant of this wide domain is deeply
interested in the result. Slavery is not sectional
in the warfare waged against it' It is national.
And the cause of slavery is the cause of the coun
try. It is hi the Constitution, and no other hand
hut that of the Southern States can pluck i! from
its place, without causing the whole fabric to totter
to its fall. To tear it from its place in the Consti
i tution, by the Federal hand, would be no less de
; structive to this Government, than to smite off
| from the coronet of the Constitution habeas corpus,
or the right of trial by jury.
Such being the case, President Pierce, in this
“war against the devils,” has—
————“ Above the rest.
In shape and gesture proudly eminent,
Stood like a tower.”
He is a tower of strength to sound constitutional
principles, and the whole country should rally to
; ais support. J. A. Turner.

Tennessee Suits Against the State
Kaiload.
REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE.
Yonr committee, appointed by resolution of the
Senate, in accordance with the recommendation of
'ris Excellency the Governor, contained in his mes
sage, in relation to suits, by certain citizens of the
State of Tennessee in the courts of that State,
tgainst the State of Georgia, for alleged damages
jiaimed to have been sustained bv those citizens,
for failing to ship promptly, and for unseasonable
detention of produce and merchandise owned bv
said citizens, and registered for shipment or trans
portation over the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
have had those suits, the evidence and the proceed
ings had therein, under consideration, and beg
leave to make the following report:
To have a proper understanding of the question
under consideration, it will be necessary to exam
ine the Legislation of the State of Tennessee, con
ferring on the State of Georgia the right to con
struct a part of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
in that State.
The State of Tennessee by act of her Legislature
passed January 24th, 183-- -granted to the State
if Georgia the right to extend and construct the
Western and Atlantic railroad from the Georgia
line to the Tennessee river, with all the privileges,
rights and immunities, and subject to the same re
strictions, as far as they are applicable as were
granted bv the State of Tennessee to the lliwassee
ailroad Company. The State of Tennessee, by act
T her Legislature, passed February 3d, 1«40, con
ferred upon the State of Georgia, so far as the
Western and Atlantic railroad is concerned, all the
rights, privileges and immunities, with the same
restrictions us were conferred bv that State on
the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad Company.
By virtue of the privileges conferred by these
acts, the State of Georgia constructed a portion
if the Western and Atlantic railroad in the
-date of Tennessee, upon the terms specified in
the above recited act. Your committee are of
the opinion, that the State of Georgia by accept
ing the terms, privileges and immunities, as well
as the restrictions specified in the acts above men
tioned, become liable to be sued in the Courts of
Tennessee, and consented to waive so much of her
sovereignty, as to authorize suits to he brought
in those Courts, for causes’of action arising in the
State of Tennesseee, for injuries, default or negli
gence on the part of the Agents of the Western
and Atlantic railroad. Your committee are of the
opinion that the causes of these suits originated
for the want of a sufficient equipage of locomo
tives and cars to transact the business of the road.
In the year 1552, the amount of produce ottered
for transportation over the Western and Atlantic
railroad was very large, and the facilities of the
road for doing a heavy business were very limited.
The road was mainly dependent for freight cars,
on the Georgia, Macon and Western, and Central
railroads, which roads, to some extent, claimed ami
exercised the right to prescribe the quality of
freights transported in their respective cars! In
consequence of the exercise of this right, great
difficulty arose in transporting the freights over
the road in the order of their registry, and most of
the suits submitted to our examination were predica
ted on aclaimfor damages inbehalf of the plaintiffs
for non-shipment of produce, registered by them
for transportation over the road, within a reasona
ble time, and in the order of their registry. An
nexed to this report is a statement of a number of
suits brought, for what brought, of the amount
claimed, and of those determined: how much re
covered, together with a brief of the evidence, in
those cases, and the proceedings had therein. The
suits have been brought not agaiust the State of Geor
gia, as defendant, hut again the Western and \t
lantic road, which your committee consider irregu
lar and erroneous, inasmuch as there is no such
natural person as the Western and Atlantic rail
road, neither has there been created by the Legis
lation of the State of Georgia or Tennessee, any
such artificial person or corporation; for all the
rights, privileges and immunities conferred by the
State of Tennessee, were conferred upon the State
of Georgia, and not upon a company called the
Western Bmi Atlantic railroad. The Western and
Atlantic railroad, is not a Company or Corporation
—but simply the manic of a line of railroad, ex
tending from the city of Atlanta to the citv of
Chattanooga, and is the property of the State ot
Georgia ; consequently, we are of the opinion, lhat
there is, and was, no defendant in these cases, and
the proceedings had therein, were, and are void as
agai list the State ot Georgia, and the-judgments
had thereon of no binding force or effect upon the
property of the State of Georgia, situated jn Ten
nessee oFelse where. Most of the cases decided, have
been determined by submission to arbitrators.
Your Committee would recommend, that the cases
still pending, be vigorously defended in the Courts
of Tennessee; and that no more of them be submit
ted to arbitration. Your Committee would further
recommend that the road be equipped iu such a
manner as to enable the agents to transact tire
business offered, ! with dispatch and promptness,
which, we believe, would largely increase the pro
fits of the road, and greatly benefit the citizens of
our own State residing on that line of the road.
We would further recommend, that a freight list
be established, graduated in proportion to the dis
tance, u hich freights are carried over that road.
Your Committee are divided in opinion on tin
question, as to whether Georgia ought, or ought
not, to sell, or dispose of, that portion of the Wes
tern and Atlantic railroad lying in the State of
Tennessee; and upon that subject, beg leave to
make no further report.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
V. H. Cone, Chairman.
Andrew J. Miller, Deceased. -—Months ago we
heard a gentleman of Augusta remark of Andrew
J. Miller, “ When that man dies, the poor of this
city will lose a great friend.” We though it one
of the highest eulogiums that could be pronounced;
and the universal testimony is, that it was entirely
merited byhim upon whom it was bestowed. Vet it
is not onlv the poor who are sufferers bv the death
of their tried and faithful counsellor; but the
city of Augusta mourns the departure of her chief
pride; and the State of Georgia grieves over the
loss of one of her brightest ornaments. It was
our good fortune to know Mr. Miller personally,
socially. And we can but record the impression
which always possessed us when in his presence;
it was, that we were with one of thebest and purest
men. The beaming generosity of his [soul
-hone above the brightness of bis intellect. Yet
there were moments, even in social converse, when
the tension of powerful thought rendered rigid his
otherwise placid feature and made every one feel
that a master mind was there. Most si'ucerelv do
we condole wnh the family and friends of the de
ceased in this, their irreparable breavment.

The Sick Man’s Dream.
This beautiful piece of poetry was written by the
late Judge Robert Raymond Reed, of Georgia, af
terward Governor of Florida. It has never appear
ed in print before, and the lady for whom it was
penned, now a resident of this city, has kindly
permitted us to give it to the public through our
columns. It is one of those choice, yet unobtrusive
gems, struck out from a rich mine of thought, that
has only to see the light, to have its beauties ap
preciated :
A SICK MAN’S DREAM.
Methought that in a sacred wood,
1 slumbered on a bank of flowers;
Soothed by a streamlet's wandering flood,
That gurgled through the whispering bowers;
And dreams did visit me—so bright,
An Elysium only could beget them.
They brought me such intense delight,
1 never, never can forget them.
It seemed that thou was present there.
Thine eyes with living lustre beaming;
The star of morning deck’d thv hair,
And till around its radiance streaming,
Imparted to thy lip—thj cheek
The brightness of immortal glory,
O I we can ne’er such visions seek,
Hut in some old romantic story !
And near thee hung a lyre of gold.
Beneath a bow of shadowing roses
Roses dike these that lot - enfold,
When from his toils the God reposes;
And when thy fingerrs touched the strings.
They yielded numbers rich and swelling.
As when some spirit sweetlv sings
At evening, from her viewless dwelling.
Yet changeful was that Music’s strain.
It told of Hope, and Youth, and Gladness ;
Os Pleasure’s \\ reath, of True-Love's chain.
And then of blighted Joy* anil Sadness.
\t he-t an answering I we... there came,
From u bright cloud that then descended,
And while it spake—a quivering flame
Was with the fleecy whiteness blended.
i may not tell the words so kind,
By that same plaintive voice then spoken,
For the dark night-storm’s rudest wind
Came o’er my dream, and it was broken.
But lady, tranquil he thy hours,
And smooth the path of life before thee,
For surely, from celestial bowers,
Some happy spirit watches o’er thee !

wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
