The admirers of refined and classical music, ren dered in the purest style of art, need no urging to j attend the Concert to-night at Concert Hall. The programme is attractive, and the performers stand . in the front rank of their profession. They are S entitled by their fame and their merits to draw I vo.vied houses in the most polished and critical; cities of this or any country. We were pleas <1 to witness so full and so appre- t dative an audience on Wednesday night, and to observe the genuine enthusiasm evidenced on the j occasion. Pabodi's rich and flute-like soprano ; charmed every ear a< she delivered “Comebdlo," from LrcaKTia Borgia, and the “Gipsey Smg.” • from L’ Etoile dt; Nord. Mad. Strakosch also won rapturous plaudits by , her simple Scotch melodies; while her clear and sonorous contralto voice combined in delightlui harmony with Pabodi iu the duets they sung so ex quisitelr together. The “Duetto," from Norm*.. was beautiful beyond description. Signor Leonardi sings with taste and correct- . ness. His voice is true and pleasing, but wanting in force and thrilling power. Strakosch was encored with great fervor, and responded with his splendid variations of Yankee Doodle. For the Concert to-night, many favorite gems aro selected from the most approved masters. We hope another crowded house will be there to enjoy the treat. On the last night of the performance of Pabodi ! ia Savannah, the Usuis remarked : Hut the great triumph of the evening was the “ SCr Spangled Banner," sang by the ladies to gether. We think the audience were agreeably surprised at the spirit and feeling with which this American song, and especially the chorus, was given by il’lle Parodi. With the lines— •‘And the Star Spangled Banner forever shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!” Her rich and powerful voice rose to its full vol ume, and her face beamed with an expression which seemed to electrify tho audience, who re sponded to each verse of the song with rounds of applause, which was prolonged for some uu«: ut ter the ladies had left the stage at the close. It was a most triumphant and appropriate finalu to the concert. Meeting this Afternoon. The Committee of Thirteen will make their re port* at the City Hall this afternoon, at half past two o’clock. Railroad Connections at Dalian. We publish in another column on uniele from :iie Dalton Times, which will no doubt be read with some interest and reflection at the present time. At a point uear the western terminus of tho State road, we notice lines of railroads rapidly advanc ing to completion, which will divert off a large portion of the trade of upper Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. There is a connecting line of railroads from Dal ton through Macon to Savannah. South Carolina has a line of railroads connecting from Greenville, S. C., to Charleston, and is en gaged iu pushing forward her Rabun Gap enter prise—While Augusta, with a tight public debt, and abundant resources, is comparatively inactive. insertion this morning.

Plank Rom, ) March 12th, 1856. ) At a meeting of the Stockholders of this associa tion, on the 6th instant, on motion, the President was requested to prepare an abstract of his Report, showing the condition of the road and its prospects, from the data in his possession, and publish the game in the papers of tho city for the information of those Stockholders not present: in pursuance of this desire, the President presents the following statement : The subscription, or stock list, amounts to *62,000 00 Ol which there has been paid in 53,950 00 leaving due by Stockholders 8,050 O ' There are twenty-seven miles of Road completed, at a cost as follows : Road, including five Bridges, measuring 2,000 feet, Toll Houses, Right of Way, and ail other expenses incident, per mile, of not over . §2,528 on Os the‘27 miles of Road built— -15 ’’ was under toll Ist March. 1555. 22 “ Ist Get., 1855. 27 “ “ “ ‘‘ Ist Jan., 1856. There has been r. revenue derived from the Road, since it was first put under toll, of. . . .§7,576 00 Os which, from the Ist March, 13.55, to Ist March, 1556, or one year 6,158 00 or over 11 per cent, on the whole amount paid in. If the instalments, due by Stockboldera, should be paid up within a reasona'ble time, all the presu ing claims against the association could be paid off, and the revenue of the road be devoted to an early dividend. From the most reliable data, the President places the nett receipts of the Road, for the ensuing year, at about *7,000 00, which, alter paying a dividend equal to Dgat interest of seven per cent., would leave a surplus of §2,660 to be disposed of in such a manner as may be most for the interest of the association. Although it is certainly desirable to extend the Road, so as to make its terminus at the junction with the Quaker Road, at Robinson’s Store—a dis tance of nearlv three miles beyond its present point—yet, as the means of the association are lim ited, this will not be done, except by slow degrees, and with the extra means in ihe’ power of the Company. Manv things have operated against a more eco nomics! promotion ot the work during ihe past vear—the most prominent are the extraordinary price of provisions and forage, as high as *1.50 having been paid for corn and meal, and 15 and 16 cents Tor bacon, and over »..• per hundred for bav, with 50 hands and 17 mules and horses to feed. The debts of the association amount t0.{15,461 54 The property and means of the Compa ny, including amount due on Stock, cash on haud, Ac 22,490 00 Leaving a balance in favor of the Coin’py. §7,025 66 The Road, so far, is equal if not superior to any in the United States—the greatest grades, at anv point, being but one in twenty. The whole twentv seven miles being laid dow n with the best heart lumber, and the bridges being well and sirouglv constructed, many years must •■.apse before any re pairs of consequence as to amount, will be neces sarv. As the main work, which he was elected to for ward, is now completed, and most of the more onerous duties, which employed his time, are over, those now to be performed can be mainly attended to by the other officers, without interierin*; with their special duties; and while he will neglect no means of adding value to a work which he believes w’til be more appreciated and patronized, as it be comes known by use, he declines receiving a salary fur his future sarvieee. while acting as Presides*. Executive Veto ol the Hiwassee Railroad Hill. A right may sometimes be dented, or a favor re fused iu terms so considerate and gracious as al- j most to amount to a service rendered—or at all events so as to mitigate the sting of disappoint ment by suggesting compensations or consolations. In this light the friends of the Hiwassee Railroad bill will have an opportunity of viewing the veto j of His Excellency, Gov. Johnson. We have just read his message, returning the bill to the Legisla ture, and giving his reasons for withholding his ap proval. Did we design combatting at large those reasons in a renewal of discussion ori the merits of the application for a charter, we should, in justice to the Governor, publish his message in full. But ; a controversy at this time cannot avail anything j for an enterprize which has so many vested inter ests arrayed against it. The true policy of those j who, cut off by mountain barriers from railroad j connections with the outer world, sought relief bv means ol this vetoed bill, should be to avail ihem- : selves of what comfort they ean find in the friend- j Iv suggestions of the veto, and to make use of 1 them to the future realization of their hopes. We take great pleasure in quoting in full the following passages from Gov. Johnson’s message, j as presenting views which, if concurred in by pop- j ular sentiment may yet result in securing for Fan- j nin and Union counties relief from their present i isolated condition, f We regret with his Excellency | that State Aid, in some effectual form, was not ! given by the Legislature, just adjourned, to the pro- i , posed railroad enterprise by which North Eastern j l Georgia is to be connected at Athens, or some j | point on the Georgia or State road, with the rail- ; i road lines of the State. We hope this scheme and j the Hiwassee railroad scheme ntav become affilia- ; ; led interests, and that the friends of each may ! j hereafter work together for a common end, instead j of being in antagonism, as was at least partially i ; the case, this winter: i “It may be asked whether the communities who ! are to be accommodated by the Hiwassee railroad, j are to be kept forever excluded from access to fa- ; vorable markets, by the mountains which interpose t ! between them and the great thoroughfares through i ] our State. In considering this question, it must j ! be borne in mind that the State, in reference to her ! own internal interests, must be regarded as a unit —a consolidated community, and that so consider ed, it is a sound principle—that the interest of a I part must be subordinate to the welfare of the | whole. Or, in other words, one section is not to \ j be built up at the expense of every other. It is j j indeed the duty of the Legislature to so shape its j : policy as to afford needed facilities to the region which the Hiwassee road is designed to accommo- : date. But it ought to do this, with reference to 1 j the interests and rights of other portions of the ] ! State, and in a manner compatible with the system I and design of our internal improvement scheme. But to the question just propounded, I reply, that the communities of the State who desire the i Hiwassee road ought not by any line of State poli- i ey to be shut off from favorable markets for their ! produce. There is no necessity for it. The gen- ' eral interest does not require it. They can be ae- ! 1 eommodated in another way, consistently with a i sound Georgia interest and Georgia policy. How j can this be done? This leads me to extend a little j I more fully my views in reference to our system of internal improvements, than i- contained in my bi i ennia! message, from which I quoted in the first oart of this communication. 1 said that Augusta, Savannah and Brunswick are the basis of our sys tem, and that aid might be wisely extended to he completion of its general frame work. For this purpose, and the full development of our natural resources, 1. believe that, each of j these points of commerce should be connected by i main lines with the great geographical divisions of j our State. AI present, neither of these cities is | connected with North-eastern Georgia. They are, I or soon will be, by contemplated routes with North j western, Western and South-western Georgia. Hence, what is needed to connect them with North j eastern Georgia, is a road from that section to Athens or some point on the Georgia or Western and Atlantic railroad. To such an enterprise, I j believe our true interests requires that State aid in some form should be granted. 1 did hope to sec j this done bv the present General Assembly. 1 ; have an abiding confidence that it will be done at an 1 early period. To such a road, branches would be built, in due time, thi s developing that whole re gion, affording it facilities for transporting its pro | ducts to market, and at the same tune, making it tributary to the interest and prosperity of our gen eral scheme. Or, if those who seek railroad accommodation | by this bill, believe Charleston to be the best ruar- I ket, and desire a connection with it, they should j not be prohibited. It is right that every portion of the State* be allowed access, if possible, to the mar ket of their choice. For this purpose, let charters j be granted to connect them from any safe point !' south of the Tennessee line, at Rabun Gap or any point east that will give the desired connection. But it is quite a different question when a charter is asked which yields, as this bill does, the right of way across a portion of the State, which must result in connections between points, east and west, | that will prove fata! to the interests of Georgia. It is unnecessary for us to repeat here, at large, 1 our views in opposition to what we consider the j narrow and illiberal policy of seeking to force ! “by a compulsion, mutually advantageous, the : travel and produce which seek the ship to become tributary to her own (Georgia’s) wealth, ■ prosperity and greatness.” Compulsion, inutu allv advantageous is a solieistn in terms, or ■ sounds very like it. Advantages, bestowed by | compulsion are rarely appreciated, and the donor j wins small thanks, even though the advantages j ire like Faistaff's reasons “as plenty as blaokber • ries.” It may be that it was the policy and “grand de sign” of Georgia’s system of internal iraprovc- I meats, “to make the boundless productions of the great west tributary to the wealth and prosperity of Georgia;” but if so, it was not in the spirit of extortion and black mail. It was in the spirit of conferiug, as well as receiving benefit. This is the : only right spirit of mutual trade and commerce [ between communities and States. It is in this : spirit we would advocate the freest and most liberal | intercourse with our neighbors. The great and paramount blessing to Georgia of I her Western and Atlantic railroad, is not, in our i j view, the large revenue or “tribute,” exacted from the people, or to be poured into the State Treasury. | f That Georgia i 3 likely to be a rich railroad propri- : •tor is not the grand and noble result which is to achieve most for the State. It is the markets I opened to her own products and the facilities af i forded her own citizens, enhancing their lands, in i creasing their wealth, enabling them to marry and j jive in marriage, and settle new farms and home ’ steads, embark their surplus in new enterprizes for . which markets had been opened, establish schools j and colleges, and churches—it is these Lings that i ‘he State road and the system of inie: .m! improve i ments have dona and are doing for G 0.,, gia, that I ire contributing to her real prosperi i , ~nd great ness. The policy of a State should be to invite trade, mvite commerce, invite the products of the labor, apital and skill of other States and communities, i giving to each and all, the benfit of the freest com ! petition, offering all she hasand all she produces in ! xchange with the least practicable burthens on this mutual intercourse, in the way of tolls and tributes. It should not be, to force trade by circuitous routes f and burthen it with extortionate tolls. This forcing process, and heavy tolls result in I profits to railroad companies and the commercial i interest of cities, for whose benefit the policy ia ! adopted ; but society at large is not benefited bv : it, and is not interested to sustain it. Nor is it incumbent on a State that has granted I chartered monopolies to shape its legislation so ns j to make those monopolies most profitable to the ! favored holders, and to discourage all competition. ; There are no obligations of the* kind to be implied j other than are to be deduced from the language and 1 context of the charter, which is tho contract be tween the State and the corporator. The main grouud of objection, and that is not without force to the Hiwassee railroad bill, is the ■probability of its becoming a part of a competing line of railroad to the Western and Atlautic rail ; road. It i-. thus clearly presented bv Governor : Johnson. It will not be denied, other things being equal, : that freight will take the shortest line to the sea. j The road proposed bv this charter will inevitably result, not onlv as I have before shown, in a eon , netted line front Charleston to Chattanooga, through the Rabun Gap. but a shorter line than the route over the Western and Atlantic railroad. 1 have | before me the latest edition of Distir,-neW* railway ! and steamship guide, published for March, 1856._ It is doubtless* as reliable as any work of the kind j can be, and certainly sufficiently accurate for the ; purpose in hand. According to this work, the dis i tanees are as follows: From Charleston to Columbia it i* ona hmidrad aad twvnty-eighv nsilaa From Columbia to Anderson it is one hundred ! and twenty-seven miles. In a right line from Anderson by Clayton and Cleveland, to Chattanooga, it is one hundred and i sixty miles. So that from Chattanooga to Charles ton “by this South Carolina route,” it is four hun dred and fifteen miles. From Charleston to Augusta it is one hundred and thirty-seven miles. From Augusta to Atlanta it is ono hundred and seventy-one miles, and Front Atlanta to Chattanooga one hundred and thirty-eight miles, making, from Chattanooga to \ Charleston, one hundred and forty-six miles by the ; Georgia line, showing a difference in distance of ! thirty-one miles in favor of the Charleston route ' hy the way of Clayton and Cleveland. This com parison is based upon the supposition that the j , -South Carolina route will run from Charleston by j : Columbia, Anderson, Rabun Gap, and Cleveland, I ito Chattanooga. Ii will, however, be shortened by ihe proposed road from Aiken to Anderson, thus ; making the competition still more ruinous to the ! Western and Atlantic railroad. Ido feel that i 1 there is nothing to warrant us, thus to put in jeop- I ardv this great road, built at such an immense I cost by the common treasury of the people. As the guardians of the people’s welfare, we are bound to protect this valuable State property from des truction. If the South Carolina line were equal to, or even a little longer, than the Georgia line, wo should be compelled to reduce the rates of freight to a point which would leave but a small margin ' | fer r.ctt profits. How. then, can we bear the cont ; petition of a shorter line? Shall we invite it by ; our legislation, when we have it in our power to | prevent it forever. j All this being true, it is unquestionable, that j ! when these lines were completed, the Rabun Gap I route would have the attraction of thirty-one miles less distance. This is, however, a very small ad ! vantage between two lines of road, between four ! ; and five hundred miles in length. In point of j j travelling time, it would give the shorter route the ! preference of about one and a half hours, and a 1 few cents less fare. In point of time and price for j freighting produce and merchandise, the difference i would be inappreciable. On the other hand, the ■ route by Atlanta would have the attraction of the | markets of Macon and Savannah, and of Augusta, • Savannah and Charleston. This would be a more j | than compensating advantage. The competition j j of the twolines would be no detriment to the com- j j munity at large. It might be to a few class in- j lerests. The danger apprehended for Georgia railroad ; stockholders and Georgia cities, is that either all j the trade would go to Charleston, or a part would ] j be secured to Georgia only by a ruinous reduction | jof freights. This apprehension ia based on the 1 idea that there is a limited amount of this trade— j not enough for both roads—not more than suffi ! cieut to employ profitably one line of Road; that i one or the other line would be idle, or both running \ with half-loaded cars. Yet those who express thi > J fear, will, in the same breath, talk of “the bound j less productions of the great West.” The expres | sion is not figurative. Those productions are boundless indeed—enough to employ all the rail roads that will be built for generations ; and there ’ need be no suicidal rivalry of competing roads, j The two lines under consideration, if both were ' built and competing, would both get as much busi j ness as would pay good dividends to their stock ; holders, and they would have no temptation to put freights down at unremuneratiug rates, j The Macon and Western road, and Central road, | form one line from Atlanta in competition with the ) Georgia railroad. Yet they do not destroy each other by disastrous tales of freight. They find business enough at Atlanta for all lines converging to that point. What is true of Atlanta will prove true of Chat tanooga, with the competition not only of roads running to and from that city, but of a largo uavi ble river flowing by it, in the bargain. We have said thus much in vindication of the views we have hitherto expressed, in supporting the Hiwassee railroad bill. They are not changed by the able veto message of tho Governor. But we fancy we discover in that message commou : ground, on which we can hereafter co-operate with j his Excellency in relieving the citizens of north } eastern Georgia from their isolation, without the j possibility of detriment to the State property, or jto private vested interests. We shall be pleased j to co-operate in the spirit of the Governor's motto, j to which we cordially respond : “Georgia first, our co-terminus States second, the other States third, and last, ‘the rest of man ! kind,’ ” j We clip the following items from the Sa i vannah Morning Sews, of yesterday; “Sale of Sugars.— The cargo of the schooner : N.

The telegraphic intelligence in yesterday’s Demo oral announced to your readers this lamentable ca tastrophe which, like many other terrible accidents that happen in the extent of the United States, pro ceeds from doing up things in two great a hurry, and not finishing ofl matters soundly before using them to the fullest extent. The bridge near Mar garettesrille, about fifteen miles from this place, is on a very sharp curve ; it is a trestle construc tion, and about two hundred and fifty feet lorn:. The express train, consisting of locomotive, tender, and two passeuger coaches, under conductor Bour dette, arrived on the bridge about, 11 o’clock, A. 11., and was travelling at about twenty-five miles per hour. The locomotive had just got to the end of the bridge, when the hind cars, swinging around them their weight with u jerk on one side, and all went down with a terrible crash. There were about fifteen passengers only in the train, and only four females, who, with the exception cf u colored servant, are safe. Mr. Friedland, the baggage master, had a most miraculous escape from the ruin and death, and immediately sei to work to assist those in peril. When the fire burst forth, he had no other means <if bringing water to throw on it than in his hat. Two others, whose names 1 now disremeinber, started off directly towards Portsmouth, when they 1 should have remained to help the sufierers. I regret to inform you that IV. G. Kilkelly, mos- , senger for Adams & Co.’s Express, is among the dead, so is W. 11. Daughtroy, the mail agent. A ; book agent named Levi (’ox, and another young j man named T. Carey, also a fireman, are killed, ! and the colored female servant is missing. As soon j as the cars caught fire the flames spread with j amazing velocity and every vestige capable of be- I ing burnt of that unfortunate train was soon in ] ashes, baggage, freight, passenger’s baggage, all j are burnt. Adam’s Express Co., lose about six or eight tons of freight by this mishap, and there was : an immense quantity of blank bank notes for ; the Wilmington Bank also consumed. Captain ; Bourdetfe has two ribs broken. Cook, the assis- ] tant mail agent, is badly burnt. Mr. Niemever, of the firm of Niemever and White, of Norfolk, was very seriously hurt, and a Dr. Williamson, of near Branchville, In this neighborhood, is badly hurt, his lady had a narrow escape from death. The rest ot f the passengers are more or less bruised, j and some are so terrified as to be yet like out of : their reason. The fall was about twenty feet. At tention was given very promptly to the sufferers from Margarettsville and from Weldon. These particulars I have learned from the train that came up from the spot at half-past twelve to day, and it is feared that matters on elo3o investi gation will show for the worse. In haste.
