the favorable opportunity of enjoying.
“The Wild Men.”
Under this captivating title, the public are invi
• T to the Masonic Hall; where, as the advertise
meat announces, “ Wonders will be seen.”
The exhibition consist-, of two dwarfs, physi
cally and mentally, with half-witted countenances,
small, mis-shapen heads, and loug, soft, brown
hair streaming down their backs. Their eye- an
dark hazel; their complexions sallow, but inclin
ing more to the blonde than brunette. Their up
pearance would indicate ages between twenty and
thirty. Their faces are effeminate, —barring th
lack of comeliness; beardless, but with a slight
show of down. Both are well formed, and mus
cular, for littic men of three and a-half feet high ;
and by training, are able to exhibit a few reins : I.
able feats of strength. One of them raised I'o.m
the floor, in our presence, two men weighing, to
gether, three hundred and sixty pounds.
One of the dwarfs is very social and poliie,
though his obeisances are anything but graceful.
His bearing is as grotesque as his antics, which at.
playful and good humored He is anything hot a
wild man The other affects that character pi e-tty
weil; and plays the morose savage, in a style that
would do credit to Forrest, in Metamora. it,
performs a part, to which he is trained, by wa v ot
giving variety, as weil as novelty, to the show. He
snaps and bites at visitors who try to touch him,
in a charmingly malicious way ; and strides intpa
tieutly up and down the raised dais against the
wail, like a veritable little wild tiger, in his cage.
The exhibition is worth seeing. We were well
repaid by our visit. These are curious little speci
mens of humanity, and in their tight fitting stock
inett, and with their long streaming hair, sl op
little eyes, and puny faces, they are “types of man
kind," which amuse children, excite the pit . -I
ladies and afford a theme for speculative mind mi
the unity of the race.
Beyond this we have not much to say. Let ~t:
c rs go and see for themselves. There is a g »d
deal of humbug mixed up in the affair. Myst-iy.
that efllcient co-worker, is called to the aid of hum
bug, and no “authentic" account, in pampide
form, is handed round to tell how these wild men
~f Borneo were caught and tamed. Barxilm’s ac
count of the manner of the capture of the Fei-j,-.-
mermaid, though ingenious, was not got up v, iii
sufficient plausibility to stand criticism. The pre
sent showmen take warning, and are discreetly -
lent. We are left to imagination and eonject u
to supply the blank.
But the dwarfs will not stand muster as natn -
of the equatorial isle of Borneo—no such torrid
sun has ever burnt upon their little bodies. Tb iv
would be little hazard in a wager that these inter
< xting little strangers were never in five thousmi
miles of the longitude of the nativity of the Si a
mese twins. The United Slates may yet establish
a claim to the honor of the birth-place of lit "
•• wild men of Borneo." But which ot the con! d
erate sisters is entitled to the distinction, may U
like the nativity of “ the blind old man of Scin -
rocky isle,” a theme of emulous controversy.
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Bill.
W, regret to notice, from the report of our Mi!
ledgeville correspondent, that this important I -il:
Das failed to pass the House. We sincerely hop,
that the bill will be reconsidered, and pass tri
umphantly the ordeal of scrutiny through hot I
branches, and become a law. What the V> esten,
and Atlantic road did for upper Georgia, ths p r
pected Atlantic and Gulf road would do for Sou i
era Georgia, and the incidental benefit to the wh> !■
State would be as great and as enduring.

is, beyond all question, more safe than chloroform,
ihe number of deaths from which now amounts,
we fear, to thousands.

Mtstrt- Editors: The following item in your pa

“ The Boston Poti asks : ‘ la it true, as has been
reported, that the committee on anti-slavery lec
tures, who were requested by Hon Robert Toombs
to hand over the one hundred dollars he declined
to receive for his lecture, to some society for aiding
emigrants, have given it to the society for aiding
fugitive slaves to migrate to Canada "
The report is not true. The enclosed short note
contains the truth of the matter; which yon will
much oblige me by publishing. The disposition
made of the fund met my entire approval ; anti 1
am sure the gentlemen referred to are incapable
of any such discourtesy as is implied in the report
referred to by the Pott: their conduct towards me
being marked by courtesy and kindness, for which
I felt much indebted to them.

SENATE.
DOCUMENTS PRODUCED BY MR. FAMBRO IX HIS DEFENSE
\ esterday, Mr. h ambro, of Upson, requested the
attention of the Senate, while the Clerk read some
documents explanatory and vindicatory of his ac
tion with regard to the sale of the old iron on the
State Road. The first letter is to Mr. J. ]>. Guay,
of Columbus, from Mr. Cooper, stating that he
had promised Mr. Wells to give him a "chance to
make a bid for the old rails for the Barnsville rail
road, and had made that objection to close with
Maj. Howard. But Wells did not press their
claim, and he had forgotten making a separate
promise to Mr. Ghat, or he should have consulted
him. The bids ranged *10.50 to and Maj.
Howard’s being the highest bid made at the time,
he closed the sale with him for $22.50. The price
of new rails was ss<), and he thought half price
was a good price for such old rails. 11c had on
hand still, scrap-iron, which he would sell. The
next document is a letter from Mr. John D. Gray,
stating the facts connected with his offer, as agent
of the Barnsville railroad, for the old iron of the
State road. The bid was £4o, cash down, for iron
delivered at Atlanta. He writes that Maj. Howard
has bought sixty miles of the iron, and part of it is
to be delivered this year. Mr. Gray tkinl'g the iron
has not been offered to any other person besides
Maj. Howard. Moreover, there is forty miles’of the
iron purchased by Maj. Howard, that he , Mr.
Gray i will give him *4 > per ton for. Still this for
ty miles of iron is not the iron the Barnsville Com
pany had been trying to purchase. The iron he
bid £4O for was the iron on the road from Dalton
to llosco —only eighteen miles. Maj. Howard pur
chased the whole. in all about two thousand six
hundred tons. He concludes with offering to buy
the whole for £hs,doo.
The next is also a letter from Mr. Gray to .Sir.
Bethel, President of Barnsville and Thomaston
railroad, dated Jan. Iti, ISSG. He writes that two
or three weeks previous to date, Maj. Howard
agreed to let him (Mr. Gray) have enough iron on
conditions that “all fuss before the Legislature”
should be withdrawn. On the day of the date .Mai.
Howard tells Mr. Gray that he “should not let
hint have a bar,” and he “might go ahead” and
do his “best,” that he had the iron and mean! to
keep it. “Write to Col. Fambro to do all he can
to bring the question up, though I do not expect
anything can be done, the Governor’s friends will
mash every enquiry that may be attempted. 1 fear.”
The next document is an affidavit sworn to 11th
Feb , 1856, containing an account of the circum
stances connected with the bid of Mr. Gray, of
the sale to Major Howard, and of a conversation
that ensued between Mr. Bethel and Gov. John
son, in Augusta, on the 9th of September. In the
conversation, Mr. Bethel told the Governor that,
as the Barnsville Company had the oldest claim
upon the iron, he ought to rescind so much of the
contract with Major Howard as to let the Company
have sixteen miles of the iron, and let Major How
ard take the balance. The Governor seemed dis
posed to treat the offer as not made in good faith,
out upon Mr. Bethel assuring him there was no
mistake about it, he expressed much regret for the
disappointment of the Barnsville Company, and
offered to write to Major Howard, requesting a re
lease from the contract, and to Mr. Cooper, in
structing him to get off from the contract with Ma
jor Howard, if’ he could do so honorably. Mr.
Bethel conveyed the letter to Mr. Cooper, from
the Governor. Mr. Cooper stated that he regretted
having forgotten to notify him, as he had promised,
but said, also, that Mr. Wells —the first agent of
the Barnsville Company—had not pressed the
claim, and he thought the road was abandoned,
and had forgotten the promise made to Mr. Gray,
the last agent of the Company, and had let How
akd have the iron. But, said Mr. Cooper, the price
you offer is an inducement for me to take up more
iron. Why is it, though, you are willing to give
£4O for old iron, when new iron can be purchased
for £SO? Says Mr. Bethel, we can make out very
well with the old iron, besides, new iron is up to
£OS, and still rising. Well, says Mr. Cooper, you
go home to your board and propose to them to en
deavor to buy new iron for ten miles, and I will let
you have enough at £4O, to complete the road. 1
will take the responsibility.
There is an affidavit from T. W. Rivbire, one of
the Directors, that the preceding conversation be
tween Mr. Cooper and Mr. Bethel, was true.
There is also an affidavit from the Directors of the
Barnsville and Thomaston railroad, that U. K
Wells and Jou.n D. Gray were the only two au
thorized agents ever employed to procure iron from
the State Road.
The last document is a letter from Mr. Thomas
F. Bethel, to some one not named, stating that
the Thomaston Company, through their Chief En
gineer, contracted with Mr. Yoxoe, the former Su
perintendent of the State Road, for iron to build
the Thomaston road with. The first iron taken up
was the iron contracted for. When the iron was
taken up, the Thomaston road was not ready for it,
and John P. Kino, President of the Georgia rail
road, having applied for iron, Mr. Yoxoe let hitn
have the iron ajreadv taken up, concluding more
iron would bo ready for the Thomaston road. !!- -
fore the second lot of iron was taken up, Mr. Coop
er succeeded Mr. Yoxoe, and he reiterated the
promise of Mr. Yoxoe, which ho say 3 he had
forgotten, when he sold the iron to Maj. Howard.
Mr. King paid £2B, Mr Howard paid $22,50.
We have stated every fact offered by Mr. Fajiinto,
in his defense, and leave the readers of this paper
to draw their conclusions. A motion was made to
print the above documents, but Mr. Fambbo with
drew them, content, as he said, with having pre
sented them to the Senate. Thus the matter stands.
Miu eogkvii.le, Feb. Isth, 1856.
SENATE.
Upon the reading of the journal this morning,
Mr. Welbobx moved to reconsider the action of
the Senate, relating to the amendment of the 9th
section of the bill incorporating the Western and
Atlantic Railroad Company, which strikes out the
provision fop excluding individuals or corporations
North of Mason and Dixon's line, from purchasing
stock. Mr. Welborx made a short speech, defend
ing his position on Saturday and reflecting upon
“the passage at arms” that occurred between him
self and the Senator from Greene, Upon receiv
ing information that he could not reconsider the
section, without reconsidering the whole bill, he
withdrew his motion.
The Senate agreed to House amendments to the
following Senate bills, viz:
A bill changing the time of holding Courts in
the counties in the Patuula and Middle Circuits.
A bill pointing out the mode by which Orphans
and Widows can receive support from the estates
of deceased parents and husbands.
A bill to change the county line between the
counties of Coffee and Irwin.
A bill to incorporate the town of Brunswick.
BILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE.
A bill to form a new Circuit from the counties of
Heard, Coweta, Campbell, Carroll, ilarralson,
Spaulding, and Polk, to be called the Tallapoosa
Circuit; amended by adding the county of Floyd.
Passed.
Mr. Dpxnagan, of Hall, opposed the bill because
all these new Circuits presented new offices to be
filled, and there were plenty of men anxious and
ready to become Judges and Solicitors, and it ap
peared to him this was the object of making Cir
cuits. When the offices were tilled by appoint
ment, there was no dearth of seekers, and he did
not expect there would he a change iu this respect,
now that the elections are given to the people.
A bill to incorporate the North Eastern Railroad
Company. The precise terminations of the road
are not yet determined upon, though it is to end
somewhere in Rabun, and connect with the State
road. Passed.
A hill to lay out and organize .a new county from
the county of Franklin.
There was some little talk upon this hill. Mr.
Ashe, of Franklin, labored most strenuously to
have it carried. The bill was lost.
The unfinished business of Saturday was taken
up, to-wii: The bill chartering the Western anti
Atlantic Railroad Company, Ac When the Senate
adjourned Saturday, the ninth section was amended.
To-day the Senate commenced its action on the
tenth section, whicl) was left unamended, and which
gives to the Company all the privileges, rights and
immunities which the State of Georgia enjoyed.
Section eleventh was stricken out, and an amend
meut of Judge Cone inserted, which locates the
Company at Atlanta, and the rates of freight shall
be the same as now used, and uniform; no dis
crimination shall be made in favor of auv indi
vidual or corporation, under forfeiture of five times
the amount of produce discriminated against.
The following amendments have been added .
Ist. Should any Director move out of the State,
he shall no longer be a Director.
2nd. Any person or body politic shall be autho
rized to subscribe for the stock at the minimum
price of seven millions of dollars, which shall
have precedence over the subscription of six mil
lions.
3d. Nothing in the bill shall be so construed as
to allow this Company to hold stock in any other
road, unless b\ the consent of the Legislature.
4th. The private stockholder.-, of this Company
shall pay the same tax upon their stock that is now
paid upon real estate.
■th. If any vacancy shall occur among the Di
rectors. during the time when the Assembly is not
in session, the Governor shall appoint a Director
pro. tan., until thp session of ihe next Legislature.
Cth. Suits may be instituted against the Compa
ny, in any Court having jurisdiction over the cause
of suit, and process of notice of suit may be served
against any Depot Agent, or by leaving a copy at
the Depot office. This completes the bill.
. tr. Bcchaxax delivered a complete, argumen
taitve, elaborate defence of the policy of not sell
mg the road, lie took statistics, and facts indis
putable and acknowledged, and argued in the most
logical, close and strictly reasonable manner,
against selling and for keeping the road under the
patronage anti management of the State, and mak
ing U contribute an annually increasing revenue to
the Treasury. He said he wished to give the rea
son* that influenced him in bis determination not
to vote for this bill. He considered it the most
important, momentous question that had ever been
brought before the notice of the Senate, and it be
hooved them to act coolv, calmly, dispassionately,
deliberately on it, and let their decisions be the
result iff unclouded, unprejudiced reason, and ma
ture thought. It was strictly a matter of dollars
and cents, and involved the great, financial inter
ests of the State. The question was whether the
road would pay or would not pay. If it would pay,
it was their duty to keep The road; if it would not
pay, it was their duty to sell it. Look at
the income for the last three or four years, and
every unprejudiced man must acknowledge
that it has been paying. Twenty years ago, when
the road was cominmenced, the people entertained
the chimerical idea that as soon as forty or fifty
miles was completed, the revenue would be suf
ficient to almost build the remainder of the road.
What road has ever paid until it was completed ?
no past experience will prove that a road will pay
before completed. What was the income of this
road during the years 1850, and ’sl V £285,028,44.
For 1851 and ’52, it was £375,176.72, showing an
increase of £90,u00 in one year. For 1852 and ’53,
it was showing an increase of over
£loo,uoo over the last year. For 1853 and ’54. the
increase was £591,154.78, showing an increase of
income of over £IIO,OOO over the previous vear. For
1-54 and ’55, the income was £688,930,56" showing
an increase of about £IOO,OOO over the previous
year; and an increase nearly threefold in the last
four years. 4et this road has not shown what can
be made after sufficient improvements. Judging
from the past yearly increase, by 1860, the road
will pay an income of one million of dollars. It
was not a road before the year 1850, it was merely
the shell of a road, and therefore could make
nothing; but since it has been more completed,
experience proves that it will pay, and increase in
its payment yearly. There are many advocates of
the main trunk railroad, which is to improve and
develope South Western Georgia. The State is to
take stock to the amount of £500,000 for every
£600,11..id subscribed by the Company. Here is aii
investment required in a project that is extremely
uncertain, of half a million of dollars, when we
have already a road built which will pay, and
which you desire to sell to people who will buy in
in preference to investing in the main trunk rail
road, thus proving that the State road is the safest
investment of the two. If £3,600,000 worth of
stock is not taken bv the people, your present pro
ject is a failure, and your action’for the last two
or three days on this matter, to no purpose, and
the bill a nullity.
But the great argument against the State road is
the mismanagement. Let us examine and ascer
tain some of the facts in relation to this matter,
compare incomes and expenses and improvements.
In 1853 when the freight business was £321,888.4-3,
the car rent was £22,011,80. In 1854, when the
freight was $.395,956.31, car rent was £10,780.28.
lit 1855, with a freight business of £493,379.94, the
current wassl,3lß.ol, thus showing a decrease in
the expenditure for cars not at all proportionate
with the increase of business. Where is the mis
management ? Not in the Governor, not in the Su
perintendents, but in the Legislature. The appro
priations have not been sufficient for the actual ne
cessary expenses of the road. Make a large enough
outlay for improvements, and your road will pay
you a handsome dividend ; and it never will pay
while you keep it down by not providing ordinarV
indispensable equipments. Suppose a' merchant
were t«> fit out an elegant store, and then be too
niggardly to buy goods to fill it. would it be sur
prising if he made nothing? Such is your police
with regard to this State, and at your door lies
the mismanagement.
What is the amount of indebtness of the road ?
Let us examine this and see if it is so enormous
and smrtling, One quarter of a million will cover
the whole. And when does it fall due ? On Julv
next there is due £25,000, in October £40,000, and
in December £60,000, while the remainder is due
in 1858, ’59, ’Go, ’6l, ‘62, and ’6-4. The amount to
be paid this year is, altogether, £125,000, about
£190,000, amounting in all to $240,000, as the stand
ing bonds of the road, and which seems to fright
en the members, when considering the possibility
of redemption. If this road was decreasing in its
profits and the amount of freight, then it would
be right to sell the road; but when the reverse is
the truth, when the income is yearly increasing,
and at a rate that is pleasing to behold, it is a sui
cidal policy that would dictate its sale. It is the
same policy that would lead a man to sell negroes
from six to eight years old, when by keeping them
live years longer, he could realize double the
profit.
j Sir, these charges of mismanagement can he
j easily made, but the difficulty U to substantiate
j them. I hey involve the honesty o( the Governor
I and the Superintendent, their integrity, their mor
al character and position, and hence there
: should be no mistake about them when they are
! made. But in the present case, they are ground*
1 less, and it shows a vile spirit that will lead to their
' repetition when they are false. Why cannot the
; .'■late manage the enterprise as well as a monopoly
Jof private individuals'- Have the people of Geor
! gia not discernment enough to chose tit and com
petent men to fill her posts of responsibility ?
Men are men, whether as the agents of government,
or the superintendents and agents of private mon
opolies, and if the proper and suitable kind of men
are placed in office, will discharge their duties
I promptly and well, whether in the employ of the
Slab or of individuals. Why, then, cannot Goor
gia conduct this business as well as private
persons 1 contend that no monopoly could have
succeeded better with this grand work, than the
j State. It is a work of Hercules, and requires time
and money to accomplish the ends in view. Ex
amining all the roads in Europe and America, 1
j say that no road is better situated than this one.
I I speak from knowledge of the matter. It centers
. in itself as many individual advantages as any
railroad on this or the other continent. All that
is necessary is for you to complete it, and von will
find it tlie best investment you can make of State
capital, better than main trunk railways or any
other plans of improvement.
\\ hen Mr. Buchanan' concluded, the previous
question was called and sustained, and the bill put
and carried. Ayes 53, nays 4-1,

between the two States.
HOUSE.
Mr. Tkrhtne moved a reconsideration of the ac
tion of the House on Saturday, relating to the bill
removing the Penitentiary. His object in wishing
to reconsider was to make the sum appropriated
',*72,500) the limit of the expense of removing and
erecting new buildings. The Lunatic Asylum had
received one appropriation, which was expended,
and another appropriation of double the amount
was necessary for the completion of works com
menced. He wished to guard against such a con
-1 tiugency occuring in the present ease. Unless
this was done, the next General Assembly would
be obliged to appropriate monies. In his judg
ment $?2,500 was insufficient to cover the expense
| of removal.
Mr. Rumph, of Wayne, opposed the motion.
Considering the great expenditure caused bv the
scheme, and the success as doubtful in the extreme,
he was opposed to removal, lie doubted whether
it would support itself at Stone Mountain. The
institution was a curse and a burden to the State,
involving an annual expenditure of *30,000. The
most practicable plan was to let the present build
ing remain as the Penitentiary, and make the ne
cessary improvements upon it.
Messrs. Fields, and Smith, of Union, also op
posed. The whole matter had been carefully and
deliberately investigated by the committee, the
i benefits and advantages, and disadvantages esti
mated, die expenses sumed up. and their Report j
was in favor of removal. If the gentleman from
Floyd desired a reconsideration for the purpose of
adding the amendments proposed, it could be an
well done in the Senate. The motion to reconsid
i er was lost, ayes 33, navs7B,
ATLANTIC AND GULP RAILROAD.
This bill is the special order of the day, and in
corporates the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Compa
ny, to build a “main trunk railway, to run from
the intersection of the counties of Appling, Ware,
and Wayne, to the western boundary of the State j
of Georgia, at some point between Fort Gaines,
in Clay county, and the junction of the Flint and
Chattahoochee rivers, in Decatur county. The bill
was taken up by sections.
Section first incorporates the Company and ap
points Commissioners. Amended by appointing
as Commissioners, Chas. Spaulding, Charles .1.
Mi nnerlv, T. Hamilton, ST. W. Collins, and .1 as.
McCreary.
Section second, adopted.
Section third organizes the company after the
subscription of #1,000,000 of stock. Amended by
fixing the first Monday in February ns tho time for
electing Directors.
Section fourth prescribes the route of road, and
applies tbe eighth section of the amended charter
ot Ventral railroad to thi» road deciding the quet
tion growing out of the right-of-way and damage.
Amended by settling more definitely the point from
which the road is to start.
Section fifth prescribes the conditions upon
