Ac., of the Charter of the Sa- Vallev railroad, and the several amend •- iherei". hut met with very unexpected de ,.- im inability to procure copies of those docu in either Augusta or Hamburg.

The next provision most objected to, is that rc- ; •ig a connection with the South Carolina and ; i, fijia railroads at this point. Upon this feature | ('barter much attention has been bestowed, j L :-i-uineof the Committee are not without ap i nsiou ns to the effect which it may have upon I: future commercial interests of Augusta. Yet j great advantage promised by the road, and the . j: cable influence which like connections have j, rAsed upon the business of other cities, render I |f. , S e apprehensions so vague and uncertain as to j V-TOiine the Committee to pass them bv as, per- | . -i, of in real moment. This determination was j j, firmed bv a knowledge of the increase of trade j datum of a number of cities of the North, i with like connections, and the unparalleled growth ; nut neighbor Atlanta. Her increase lias been larger, her growth, in a ratio far surpassing that of I |. IV soatliern city within our knowledge; a growth, ; I ~ which many well informed attribute altogether :. the conn: rcial facilities secured by the union • . i railroads, and this, too, in despite of most strik ladvantages; {a new place, with no tig established commercial relations, small - ks of goods and little or no banking capital, i it :i place tins circumstanced prospers, and l ers more than ant' other commercial point i i:i tii' State, why should Augusta, with her ; : g established and extensive commercial reta il ms—h r large capital, both in trade and bauk ::g the intelligence, energy and probity of her inerdiants, shrink from competition, or fear its , t - dt. Numerical odds and moral power unite in . r iiiinuiiion of arbitrary commercial exactions. • : internal improvements of the age have pro le.. i an epoch in commercial freedom —they | : disseminated broadcast throughout the I # ">uv:e:iun that freedom can be secured, t.i fully realized only by the enjoyment of com- • bcrciai right*, and by the independent control of j ' 'Wiiterciiil values by and among those to whom ; ' ;• belong. Turn which wav we will, in the in t-vigatiun of this question, iis aspects are every where the same. The right of transit, and of tin- , questioned transit, through comity, town or vil Jage is now so fully realised, so generally under stood and correctly appreciated, as soon to secure f-'r it everywhere triumphant vindication. At no distant day your own Legislature will he found 1 hirninga listening, rather than deaf ear to the re- , Inurement of its constituents.

But for t. practical purposes a connection is aireadt fcnado—-i.s now in actual operation. Under tiie i ■ "evading rule, the shipper is charged nothing, lot a cent, for the transportation of merchan- I'.sc, or produce through the eity r ; in other words, lih same freight is charged upon a given article, I: irehased by one of our citizens, for its delivery I the South Carolina railroad depot on Reynold P'A •-•t. that is charged an interior purchaser tor its j.i arerv ,v she Georgia railroad depot, on Watkins I'treet So that the only possible advantage to be |'" “ted far the perpetuation of the present system, is that which may result from the sUtbUng of a few s * " Another important consideration which should not be lost sight of in the investigation of us su 1:1, is the fact that an absolute and visi ble, and nor merely virtual connection, exists at and because absolute and visible, easily iuicru.:.id and always comprehended—the effect bus been to change the previous tenden d Before the connection was effected at "iioin. most of the business done on the Western • : Atlantic railroad, was done in connection with 1 ■ .rgia railroad; the businessof the Western Atlantic railroad lias rapidly increased— 1 I • dug to i:;7. r >,o.»i in ’.V2, SiisSytoo in ’ss— ■ the proportion of the Georgia railroad de f te “from it ha* rapidly decreased.

We "answer ; u : y‘ 'Y -nteresw are now so fully provided for, A* y y-'.'iuateiv protected by special contract, as y ngfr to need such influence. The increase of k iS" appreciation of real estate, so sure ■ 'J’ad upon the consummation of this enter- prise, (indeed in part secured by requisitions con ■ tained in the stipulations which accompany this ; report, ) will speedily restore to your Treasury an ! annual sum fully equal to the abstracted interest jon the §IBO,OOO of railroad Stock, By the stipu ! lat ions here particularly alluded to, the Charleston railroad is required to establish in Augusta, En gine House, or Houses, Car Buildings and Repair Shops, wherein shall be employed not less than J ° t ne . hundred men, with a probability of iwice or thrice that number, and that the Valley road shall j hat e its principal business office and exclusive | ’ Vork an .d Repair Shops here; thus securing to Augusta improvements upon real estate within her limits, - and that, too, at a very early dav) of more than *lcm v ."o of taxable property.' The erection : °* 'hose work shops in our midst must add mate nally to our population, and certainly to the retail business of our city. j Having shown that the Charter is acceptable— j that the connection at this point is not only admis sible, but in some respects desirable, anil proba bly soon inevitable—that the subscription mav be rna.de, and that, too, without a resort to increased I toxation, which might be done, and still leave us | jess burdened m that way than our sea-board neigh i we now proceed to enquire whether the Sa vannah \ alley road itself promises such results to ; our interest as to justify the subscription. In tin.-. ■ enquiry the Committee will endeavor as strictly as j possible to confine themselves to known or conce i ded facts : In the first place, the Savannah Valley j road will bring Augusta in direct connection with the Rabun Gap railroad, and through it with East Tennessee, a region whose agricultural and miner al resources are but beginning to be developed, resources whose variety and extent are probably I destined to render Tennessee one of the most im ; portaut of the Southern States, and the largest ex porter of grain and mineral productions, which, from their very nature, requiring the shortest and cheapest outlet, must necessarily he tributary to i the \ alley road, because it presents a route about one hundred miles nearer than the existing or an\ j probable future one. Another strong, if not con- j elusive, argument in favor of Augusta’s support of : the A alley road is suggested by the passage of an ; act by our Legislature, authorising the building of the Hiwassee railroad. It is true the Governor has j vetoed the bill chartering this road, but the deci- i | sive majority by which the bill passed both branch i es of the Legislature, renders it almost certain that ] j the charter will be granted at no distant day. This . road is not only calculated to increase the impor- • • tance of the Gap road, but to divert from the Slate, ; Central and Georgia railroads, an important por j tion of their present business, and in proportion to j the increase of business which it insures to the j Gap road will it hasten the time of its completion, i i l!v constructing the Valley road we shall render I the Rabun Gap and Hiwassee roads more certainly ! j tributary to us than to Charleston. By it Charles . toil will be thirty-six miles nearer Anderson, (the | ; point of the proposed junction with the Rabun Gap j vad, -by the way ol Augusta, than it is by wav of i Columbia, and as there will be no exactions at this j ; point, not met with at Columbia, the thirty-six miles in our favor may be considered as securing : to this route much the greater portion of the Rabun ! : Gap freight, presenting a most fortunate opportu nity of preventing the loss of western trade which would be inevitable to Augusta without the com | pleSion of this work, an opportunity of neutraUs- j ing the baneful influences which were looked to as j I certain to result from what wo considered the ill : advised grant of charter to the Rabun Gap railroad j by the Legislature of Georgia ; a grant which we, | with one accord, deemed most disastrous to our | Slate and city's interest, by it we shall secure large participation in a vast trade which we had looked upon as irretrievably lost to us; by it, too, Sa- j vunnuli may become a successful competitor for a trade which, without this road, must be lost to her and to us forever. Again, the Talley road will pass through several : of the richest Cotton growing districts of South i Carolina, producing an aggregate of seventy-five \ thousand bales of Cotton which do not now reach tliis market, and which can never do so without the road. In addition to the production of the dis tricts through which the road will pass, its connec- , tion with the Greenville road at Anderson will : unite us with the Saluda Valley, embracing a pro- ; duetivc portion of Laurens district, and place us twenty miles nearer Greenville C. 11. than is Co- \ lumbfa, and necessarily divert from that citv to j this, the trade of the town of Greenville and its tributaries, and as surely secure the transportation by this route of all produce designed for the Charles ton or Savannah markets. The full connecting ; privilege of this road with the Rabun Gap road at Anderson, will insure it against all injurious dis criminations. With the advantage possessed bv Augusta, as a Cotioa and supply market, the Com mittee entertain no fears of its ability to secure a i large participation in the trade of the productive country to be reached aud penetrated by the Sa vnnnaii Valley railroad. Entertaining these opinions, your Committee ro port and respectfully recommend the adoption of ! the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, it is expedient that a subscription of sso*'v ■' he made by Hie city Council of Augusta, to the capita! stock of the Savannah Valley Rail ! road Company, and whereas the interests of the city and the road, alike require definite action, : and as no such action can be had until authorised by a majority of the legal voters of Augusta— Ilf i f Resolved, That the city Council be and they are hereby requested to submit in due form, at an , early day, to the legal voters of the city- of Angus- i la, the question whether they shall or not subscribe the sum of §r>oo,iio-. to the stock of the Savannah Valley railroad, and in the event of an affirmative decision by said voters, that they at once make the subscription upon the following terms and : conditions : Ist, Tile subscription not to be obligatory until the Savannah Valiev Railroad Company has ob tained a good and reliable cash subscription of one million of dollars, payable without qualification or condition, except the condition of the whole sum being made tip from parties other than the city ) Council of Augusta. 2d. That said Valley Railroad Company be al lowed six months within which to procure the 1 amount of subscriptions, provided for m the fore- ■ ‘‘ going article. 3d. That the Council appoint a committee, eon- 1 sisting of the Mayor, the Finance Committee of the ■■ 1 city, and four citizens, to he selected bv the Citv Council, whose duty it shall be to determine as to ! the sufficiency of the subscriptions, other than that of the city, and upon their report, m :hqt of a roa- 1 jority of them, that the subscription is satisfactory, 1 the City Council shall make said subscription al- 1 solute, provided the terms hereinafter mentioned 1 are ratified bv said Railroad Company. 1 4th. The City Council of Augusta to be secured one-third of the Directors of said Valley railroad, i and that the direction thus provided for and se cured, shall he annually nominated by the City Council. oth. No discrimination shaii ever be made ; against this point. In any future arrangement of freights, whether local or through, Augusta shall participate fully in the advantage of the minimum rate, whether it he in the up or down charge for the transportation of passengers, produce or mer- ! chandize. Oth. The principal business office and work shops of the Valley road to be in Augusta. 7tli. The construction of the road to commence j at Augusta, and proceed continuously to its termi nation at Anderson, or such other point as will se cure the most eligible connection with the Rabun i Gap railroad. sth. A station nnd turnout to be placed ou the j Georgia bank of the Savannah river, at or near the ; point at which said river is crossed by said road, above Bull Sluice. '.<th. The connection between the Valley road and the South Carolina road to be between the i eastern terminus of the Georgia railroad ami the through Depot of the Carolina road, south of ! AN alkcr street, said connection to be by horse pow it. The Valley road shall connect with the Geor- j gia railroad at some point above or west of Gum ming street, and thus the roads be afforded the 1 same means of junction. loth. The South Carolina railroad to erect with in the corporate limits of this city, engine house or houses, car ami repair shops of such extent as to require the services of at least one hundred work- ‘ men, and to obligate itself to have, at no time, less than one hundred men employed, unless prevented i bv providential cause. 11. For the connection herein proposed, the rail- j 1 roads in interest shall pay or cause to be paid to ' the City Council of Augusta, one hundred aud sis- ! tv thousand dollars, or, at their option, a perpetual annuitv of ten thousand five hundred dollars. 12. The Valley road shall, from some point East | of Longstreet’s Culvert, so called, or such other point as may be agreed upon between the City j Council and said Railroad ( ompany, pursue the Northern or river side of the Augusta Canal, so as to make its embankment, on that side, the bed of ; their railroad from such point to some orher point | between Red’s Creek and the head wall of said ’ Canal. W. M. D’ANTIGNAC, Chairman, j Johx Boxes, Edward Thomas, H. H. Gumming, I. P. Garvin, Edwin Btstix, Wm. 11. Starke, It. 11. Gardiner, Jr. Col. Wm. T.Goci.d then presented the following: Minority Report. A Minority of the Committee to whom was re- j ferred the question of subscribing to the Savan hah Valley railroad, beg leave to report: j That in their view, the connections of other rail roads at Augusta, as a condition precedent to loca ting tiic road on this side of the river, is a decisive j objection to the measure. That connection, if it is I ever to take place, should be presented as an inde pendent proposition ; and not forced upon the city as preliminary to another enterprise. Although if carried out, it might not prove disastrous to our lo cal interests ; yet a large portion of our most in telligent citizens, and largest tax-payers think it would: and their views, on this point, seem enti ; tied to more consideration than is given them in 1 the report of the Majority, who consider them only worthy of being “passed by, as, perhaps, of no moment.” But this connection, and the subscrip tion so the Valiev road must, at present, stand or tall together. Tlie policy of the connection itself is extremely doubtful. The propriety of paving $500,000, in a case of such doubt, would seem not to require argument. But we are told this con nection will be forced upon us. That remains to beseen. It can only be done by our own Legislature, i an< i we shall not now-urge the reasons which would j lead that body to pause on such a step. But even i if it be inevitably at some future day, there is a vast difference between a man’s submitting to ■ have his throat cut by a power lie cannot resist, and by his furnishing a knife to cut it, and paving hall' | a million for the operation. But we are told, there is uo danger of injury, and that the connection is necessary to counteract the j diversion of trade, produced bv the connection at Macon. This argument would be unanswerable if addressed to the Georgia Railroad Company; but the city of Augusta is not that Company, and if the plun of the majority of the Committee prevail, will soon cease to have any interest in its stock. Not to dwell further on this objection, we pro ceed, very briefly, to consider the subscription on ; its own merits: T be first objection to it is the burden it will im pose on the city. How is it to be paid? If the Georgia Railroad Stock, belonging to the city, could be sold at par, (an impossible supposition, if such an amount is put on the market,) you would change a safe and profitable investment for one whose security is, at best, extremely doubtful. You renounce a regular annual income of twelve or i fitteen thousand dollars, and become the proprie tors of a corresponding amount of dead capital. ; In addition to this, assuming that the Railroad 1 Companies will pay slso,<Khj for the connection, there will be §170,000 to be raised by Bonds at ; the outset —at what rate of discount we are not in tormed. Now, however ingenious calculation may ; * disguise this operation, the result is that §350,000 ; is added at once to your city debt, with every pro bability that §51)0,000 more will be required to | I render your subscription of any avail. This will raise the entire debt to over a million, or more j than one-third of the whole value of real estate in ' ; the city. Can such an operation be brought, by argument, within the bounds of prudence, or even : j of reason? But, we arc told, we shall never be taxed to pav : the interest ou this loan ; for a bye-law of the road ! requires interest to be paid to the stockholders, till the road is completed. To the undersigned, | this very regulation is an unanswerable reason i why the stock should never he taken. If the mo- | : nev paid to build the road is to be returned to the ! - stockholders in driblets, liow is the road to be | built ? How you are to get vour money back - again, and at the same time build the road with- ! j out going in debt fur it, is beyond the comprehen- j sion of the undersigned. But what advantage shall we derive from the ; road when built? One principal argument seems I to be the affording to the great Rabun Gap road I i the nearest access to the Atlantic. If that route I I were certain to be through Augusta, there would , be force in the suggestion. But it is to be ob served, that the A alley road will, at all events, fur nish fifty miles of that route, to a point where a | direct road can be built, to Aiken, ten miles shorter than that by Augusts, in one unbroken line, all in the State of South Carolina. Surely ii cannot be j expected, nor asked, that Carolina should refrain i from using, lor her own purposes, an advantage '■ ' like this. Without looking to her past legislation in reference to Augusta, the very provisions of the j Act under which iliis subscription is sought to be | made, are sufficient grounds for anticipating her j course on that question. Again, at least three of the most important con ditions, reported by a majority of the Committee, seem to the undersigned to be wholly impractica i ble. That they will he agreed to, if agreed to at all. by the present managers of the enterprise, in ; good faith, and with every intention to carry them i 1 fully and fairly out, cannot for a moment be doubt- I od. But these gentlemen have no power to bind their successors by the stipulations referred to. 1. The provision, that the principal office and ' work shops of the road shall be in Augusta, can be j canceled, at any moment, by a vote of the stock- ] holders, under a st ale of voting, which gives the f , control in all elections to the smaller proprietors. And if this could be prevented—which it cannot, by anv means known to the undersigned—the I Legislature of South Carolina can change the loca tion at pleasure ; andiftheir State polieyVequires it, | they can neither be asked nor expected' to regard our interests, nor censured for not regarding | them. 2. The stipulation against discriminating freights j is wholly nugatory. It can be binding only as a j contract. There is no authority, yet existing, to j make such a contract on the part of the future | Company. 3. The provision, giving to the city Council the ; nomination of the Directors, is a nullity. The | Directors can be legally chosen only by the stock- | holders, under the scale of voting before referred : to. The Council can dictate a vote to no other , stockholder whatever. An election of their nomi nees can only be secured by a change in the Char- i ter ; and that change, the Legislature of South ! Carolina will never make. With these views of the subject, the undersign ed recommend the passage of the annexed resoiu- j tion. AH of which is respectfully submitted. William Schlev, Thus. S. Metcalf, B. H. Warren, AVm. T. Goi ld, Turner Clanton. Reaobed, That under existing circumstances, 1 and on the terms proposed by the amended Char- I ter of the Savannah Valley railroad, it is inexpe- : , dient for the city Council of Augusta to make any subscription to the stock of that Company. Col. Gould moved that the resolution of the ; minority report be adopted. Dr. Garvin moved, as a substitute, Ihe follow- I ing resolutions, which, after amendment, were adopted : Resolved, That the report of the Committee he , received, nnd that the City Council be requested to 1 have one thousand copies of the same, together | with the report of the minority, printed for circula- | tion among the citizens. Resolved, That the City Council be further re ) , quested to submit to the legal voters of the city, , i at an early day after the 24th inst., the question | , of subscribing to the stock of the Savannah Valley ! | railroad, such amount and upon such terms as they j deem expedient.

FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT. beautiful and fertile region skirting the desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and 1 penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused I through the whole nervous system, allaying the ! most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when j you will be convinced that no preparation possesses | in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities. Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but | skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water, j and this is the reason why it has been so success ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great rente- i dy stands before any other ever produced. For ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find it gives great relief. Tt has no equal in the world for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds, chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in deed nearly all diseases which require an internal application, and many others, are greatly benefitted j by it. It is used externally with great success in 1 goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King’s Evil, Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man. 1 Will cure any case of Sweeney in existence; also, Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Fa rev.
