IMILV (OVSTITITIOMUST BY ,} AME S GARDN EH. Till RSDAI >1 <>RN IN’ G, FEll* Y 21. Meeting on Saturday Night. Co!. Calhoun being called upon to address Hie f meeting, stated that he would have been better pleased to be a listener than a debater at this meet ing He felt a lively interest in (he favorable re aalt of the enterprise, the eonsideration of which bad convened here so large and intelligent an as semblage of the citizens of Augusta, .he fate ot the Savannah Valiev railroad measure., depends up on the action of the people, or the re presentatives ! of the people, here assembled. He said that the ! citizens of that portion of the State of South Car olina. through which the Valley railroad would pass, had long traded with Ar,gusta, and were de sirous of continuing to do i»o, hut that since the completion of the Greenville railroad, a large, if not the entire portion of the trade of North Caro- 1 nna and from the upper Districts of South Caroli na. had been diverted from this market. All that trade desired to return here, if it had the facilities for doing so, because Augusta is regarded as a fa vorable cotton a? welt as grocery market, in conse quence of the number of its enterprising merchants, its abundant capital, and the several outlets to the ocean, leading to cither Charleston or Savutuiah, which ‘Jam city enjoys. Ho felt satisfied that the ; Rabuu Gap railroad would be built, and when com- i pleted, if the Savannah Valley railroad is in ope- { ration, it w : .\l shorten the distance to Knoxville, Tenn., about one hundred miles —through this route it will be about thirty-six miles nearer to Charleston than through Columbia—aud there will be an immense amount of the produce and trade of East Tennessee, brought to this market. Mr. C. continued, at some length, combating the views of parties opposed to otii.-riinf everv faciliiv to com .uchi, uj ujleus ajiu outlets. l_n opening avenues to trade, and inviting produce here, and then clos ing outlets to other markets, or removing facilities to trade, vve embarrass commerce, cripple it, and finally divert it entirely from among us. All commercial communities should enjoy the freest inlet and the freest outlet to their trade and leave to the enterprise of its merchants to control or manage its direction and opera tion. Augusta has active competitors in riva rv with her, and she should meet them with ae- ; live enterprise ou her pari. Let her commerce j have the least possible trammels or interference; ! and cotton and other produce, when the facilities for reaching this market are complete, will, in most cases, break bulk here, because of the many out lets to an Atlantic market. Mr. C. elaborated bis arguments at length, and presented the question in a very favorable and satisfactory light to the citizens. Before taking his seat, he paid a warm tribute to the memory of the lamented Andrew J. Mil ler. No man could question his sincerity and de votion to Augusta, and none ever brought a more thoroughly practical and cultivated mind to the examination of questions affecting the prosperity of this city. All Augusta mourns his death, and the State of Georgia, of which he was so noble, so worthy, so useful a-citizen, mingle their regrets. He was alike our friend—the Savannah Valley railroad was an enterprise which he,warmlv cher ished, and his lamented death is a great loss to the friends of that measure. In common yvith Augusta and with Georgia, we claim the sad privi lege of mingling our regrets with yours, in tin melancholy bereavement caused by the death of so iucsumable a man. Judge John I*. Kino being culled for, entered into a legal as well as practical examination of the provisions of the amended charter of the Savan nah Valley Railroad. He regretted that there should exist any differences of opinion in regard to the correct policy of allowing the largest liberty to commerce. He respected the opinions of those of his fellow-citizens who differed with him—he even respected their prejudices ; but, he thought he had enjoyed such advantages of observation and experience on this subject, as to enable him to form correct conclusions. He was satisfied, the interests of all commercial points were best pro moted by the removal of every restriction to trade. As to the plausible case of tbe receipts of cotton ut Macon by railroad, and the limited amount which was sent to the Warehouses there, he said that thr disproportion now existing is not greater than it was before the connection of railroads took place. The disproportion is the legitimate fruit (it the dis crimination by tbe Central railroad against Macon, for freight on Cotton from Barncsvill-■» to .Savan nah was only ten cents a bale more than from Ma con, and from Atlanta only fifteen cents a hale. He intended no disparagement to Macon, but she has but one reliable outlet, while Augusta Im* three competing lines of outlet, and two Atlantic markets. Here wo are thoroughly protected against discriminations. All the Cotton which nasses through Augusta, known as through freight, is purchased in the interior by Charleston mer chants or bv Charleston agents. If the industry and enterprise of other localities are greater than our own, they will enjoy the results. And this is a condition of things that exists and will exist in dependent of railroad connections. He referred to the indisposition and apathy of our City Coun cil, some time ago, in regard to the I.aGrange rail road —many good citizens considered that railroad as of no importance to Augusta—the City Council refused to subscribe for any of its Stock, but yet it was now apparent that the construction of that road has secured a valuable trade to Augusta, its Stock is held at a considerable premium above par, and the interest aud dividends promptly paid. He felt satisfied that the interest of Angus ta would be greatlv promoted by the Savannah Valiev railroad. .When completed, it would tap the great line which passes through the interior of South Carolina, and connects with the Rabun Gap railroad, and the produce and trade < f East Ten nessee, a large portion of which has been lost to Augusta, will return. Unless the Valley railroad is built, we not only lose the East Teuuessee, but a portion of the trade of our own State, which w ill be diverted off by new railroad enterprises, togeth er with all that portion of bust ness from North and South Carolina, which for many years has found a market here. •Judge Kino was not disposed to become au alarmist or to excite the fears of capitalists, or en terprising meu, but he felt convinced that the pro gressive prosperity of Augusta would be material ly jeoparded, if the Savannah Valley railroad was not constructed. He did not wish the city embar rassed by a subscription, or its credit depreciated. But he believed the subscription could be made without this result, if there were harmony and unanimity in the measure. He pointed out about SBOO,OOO that the city could appropriate, and thought $200,000 bonds could be sold at par as fast as needed, aud said that he would join twenty oth er citizen* in an obligation to take 125, x> each, of city seven’s at par, as fast as needed for instal ments. lie behoved the city would lose nothing in any event, as he believed the Stock would be a pay ing Stock, aud gave bis reasons at some length for so believing. 'fW* David Kiddo, of Randolph county, Ims been appointed by the Governor Judge of the Pataula Circuit; Francis T. Cullens, of Early, Solicitor General. Alexander A. Allen, to be Judge of the South western Circuit, in the place of W. C. Perkins, re signed. CoL Richard Mitchell, a meritorious aud prominent citizen of Thomas countv, Ga., died in Tallahassee, Florida, a few days since quite sud denly. His remains were conveyed to his resi dence in Thomas county for interment. W«. A. Harris. Esq., Senator from Worth eountv, has been appointed one of the Governor’s Aid-de-Camps with the rank of Colonel. Straw Paper.— From the samples of straw pa per which we have seen, made by a firm at Rock City Mills, near Strotoga, we should judge the manufacture to be an entire failure. The paper is stiff and harsh, liable to crack in folding, and can not ever be brought into genera! use The Augusta Canal. This enterp rise is freely condemned by many persons who look to the mere outlay in the first instance, and to the necessary expenditures upon ; it, which have resulted. The cost of the work is the harp up< >n which so many play their doleful tunes of con iplaint. Admit that the first estimate only amount xd to SB9J|)O, and that subsequent investments have increased the amount to #300,000. It was a new enterprise, and ordinary produce was liable to be deceived in results—it crossed a creek which lias involved a large outlay of money, in emiteuding w ith a swift and undermining current ; it is abou t nine miles long, and subject to occa- j sional interference from extraordinary freshets—it was a great enterprise, for our locality, and as wa- j ter was the motive desired, so it was the great en- i : emy to be rsombatted. The expenditure of $300,000 upon the Canal j may not have resulted in direct advantage to the j city; or in other words, the city may not have re- j ceived one dollar from that source in the way of j water or power rent - but from the increased valu- i I ationof real estate which has resulted, the influx ’ iof population, the collateral enterprises which j have been projected and given employment to our t laboring population, as well as the dormant capital j of our more wealthy citizens, aud the increased j revenue from taxation, the city has been largely i benfitted in every fibre and veiu of its operations. ■ Large flouring mills have been established, j which not only afford an abundant supply of fresh j ground flour, to our own citizens, but has formed a j j new article of export from a point which had pre- I I viously been an importing or receiving one. It has j i opened a large trade for wheat from the interior, j .ind brought thousands of bushels of this article of produce to our market in search of a pur chaser. The Augusta Machine Works, an enterprise which gives employment to a large number of val uable operative citizens, and affords facilities for the manufacture of innumerable articles of handi crait, steam engines, ranrouu cars, we., Jciives Us motive power from the Augusta Canal. The Augusta Cotton Manufacturing Mills employ j a large number of operatives, and have made us measurably independent of other sections for such fabrics as they manufacture. It is not a proper objection to urge against the ('anal enterprise, that the stock in the Cotton j Manufacturing Company is at a considerable de- ] preeiation, or that the stock in the Augusta Ma- ! ! chine Works proved unprofitable. These results ! i are totally independent of the Canal investment, j | or the control of the Canal Commissioners. The policy of the investment of £300,000 by the : city, in that important enterprise, should be con sidered by its results, and uot by the results of un dertakings which have only a collateral relation to it. We have just stated that it has given life and importance to many new pursuits among us, aud ■ added largely to our productive population. It is in this light that the Canal undertaking should be regarded. We have been politely furnished by Mr. Wa. Phillips, the Secretary of the Augusta Canal Com missioners, with the annexed statement, which will afford additional evidence of the incidental ad vantages which have resulted from the construc tion of the Canal. 1 I -1 | Statement of Produce, &c., \ Brought to Hit Oily «f Augusta, by nay of th?

Since the first of September last, 2,500 bales of Carolina ami 6,310 bales of Georgia Cotton have been brought down the Canal. William Phillips, Sec. A. C. A considerable amount of produce, which could find an easy outlet down the upper portion of the Savannah river, and through the canal to this citv, ’ lias been measurably diverted off by the railroad .ines in South Carolina, which have recently been constructed. This is a portion of trade or business which has long been enjoyed by Augusta, that has now found a new channel to other markets. We have thus very hastily embodied some few -uggestions, which we trust may not be forgotten or overlooked, while regarding the amount of money, which has been invested in the canal enter prise. Jo 7- W. J. Rivers, K ( i-e, of Charleston, has been temporarily appointed to the chair of Professor of Greek, in the South Carolina College. Consolation.—At a funeral service held recently in Norfolk, in respect to the memory of the hus bands, wives and children of those who had fallen by the pestilence, it was observed that one of the bereaved husbands was listening very complacently | to the eulogies of his deceased wife, while her suc cessor, his second “help-mate,” was sitting close to hint. Gen. Houston going to Resign.—A letter ap pears in the Cincinnati Commercial, dated Coving- I ton, January 26th, and signed J. C. Porter, in i whieh the writer states that he was present at n i conversation between Judge Perrin and General j Houston, during which the General distinctly said J that the Legislature of Texas had passed a resolu tion instructing him to resign, and that he intend ed to obey instructions. We see it stated that out of the ninety-one preachers regularly engaged in the A r irginia MetL ; odist Conference in 1544, but little more than thir ;ty now remain. Twenty-two are dead, and thirty six have located, been transferred, or are employ ed in other avocations. The conference, however, now numbers about one hundred and fifty. We have been informed that the Company of United State? troops, raised in Columbia last sum mer. and placed under the command of Captain DeSaussure, are now a! Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Territory. This fact is peculiarly interesting at the present time. The New York Kraminar, a Baptist paper, de clares that the scramble of clergymen at Washing ton for the chaplaincies of the two Houses, beget ting to be absolutely disgraceful; that the candi dates follow the members about, buttonhole them in the hotels, and behave no better than the poli i ticians. lajavcmvorth city coataius three hundred and seven buildings, of whieh seventy-six are business houses.

Concert Hall is nightly thronged to witness the laughter-moving performances of Chanfrati that prince of commedians—and the very efficient corps manager Crisp has brought to gether. The latter deserves much credit for his enterprising exertions to make the theatre an at- ; ; tractive resort. On Monday night there was a * perfect jam, and “New York as it is,’’ and “ Toodles” were performed in a style that highly j delighted all present. A pleasant evening is within the reach of e rery : one who has no scruples against being pro voked to mirth at the follies and foibles of liJe as j j pourtrayed by the commedian’s art. The pieces for this evening are “Jack Sheppard/’ j “ The Toodles,” and “ Mr. and Mrs. Peter White.” Arrest for Robbery. A man by the name of Hansel J. Thomasson, j supposed to be from Orceue and formerly j from Alabama, was arrested in this city on yester- I day morning about four o’clock, bv Mr. Joseph B. | Ramsey, of the Police force, under a warrant for ' stealing a Gold W atch, from a gentleman from | Burke county. The watch was found on the per j son of Thom asson ; and the arrest led to still further ! discoveries of robbery. He had in his possession i $1,360, which had been stolen from a stranger only ! a few hours previous to the arrest. Thomasson was brought before Lewis Lew, Esq., who committed ! him to jail for further examination. A census of the city of Natchez, Miss., just com pleted, shows that place to have 6099 inhabitants, exclusive of the public and private schools, which contain 390 male pupils and teachers, and 485 fe males. In the first named total are included 3707 white persons. 309 free enL.-oil, aud soso eluvos. ; The national census of the year 1850 gave Natchez \ about 5000 inhabitants. The increase since then ! >s a fair one, considering how much tho South western cities and towns have been afflicted with yellow fever. MARRIED, In Carnesville, Ga., Feb. 10th, 1866, bp the Rev.

The anguish of their bereavement cannot he written in word*. He was endowed with a noble and generous heart; of him, it may be truly said, he was amiable, duti ful, affectionate. His remains were brought to Greeneaboro’ for interment, and a numerous procession of friends and relatives followed them to the tomb. I-??' Chronicle A - Sentinel will please publish the above.
