Its symuie d ' nmjt'.i lion should both define and limit the >Ufv of Legislative action.” I will now aid that our scheme of internal im ••ireinent, is not only stamped with the svnmie •f svsrnt, bat with the forecast of demon. The • is di.ul.mvd forth in the above extract from biennial message, ami the other is pointed out a tin* unerring certainty of an index finger, bv g •••graphical position of Georgia. Spanning .11 the Allan:; ■ to the Southern spur of the Al -ii.uiy mountains, she forms the neck of a mighty imvoniii. whose largei end extends to the em i-oro el the vast \ alleys which aie fertilized by va4iing< fruit the eastern slope of the Rocky • intains. Hence the design of our system is, is mis boundless territory of teeming produe in > ekiu, the commercial marts of the world, ia pour through our own State, and be emptied • r own cities and seaports. Where is tho -•an whose bosom does not expand with , as he contemplates the picture of grandeur, ’■:■• giorioiis prospect of this future? ’Shall ' oe fulfill her mission of prosperity and pow v will she, hv improvident legislation, throw the controlling advantages of her position have been so liberally bestowed by a lienifi lWidencc? Never, never; but let her. I re ■ i use her power, as to force, by a eoinpul -01;n illy advantageous, the travel and pro • inch seek the ship, to become tributary to "a wealth, prospentv and greatness. Such . and such is the design of our scheme rual improvements; and in my humble - the bill under consideration is incom jtible with both. 1! is not m harmony with our system. It au s “the building of a railroad from some a the county of Union, or in the county of !i; ci, which mav be agreed upon by the Direc - f said railroad, or a majority of them, liere " ■! mentioned, running up the valley of I ittle -••tew er river in the county of Union, to con ■vuli the North-eastern railroad, (now contem -1 in the county of Rabun or Habersham 1, or me other railroad or contemplated railroad.” its western terminus is evidently to be on Tennessee line in the vicinity of the Duck not” s. Where will be its eastern terminus? will be fixed, of course, by the capital that invested in its construction. The bill con iites that it will require two million of dollars aid this road. From whence is this capital to Does any reasonable man believe that it furnished by the counties of Fannin, Union Rabun ' It must come then from Charleston, " I tlaiM■ engaged in the Copper business at Duck •n; ml being thus derived, it will fix its east "■ terminus at the most favorable point of con ’ 11 with the Rabun Gap railroad. Therefore, ‘Hat from being in harmony with the system of ,r Tgi.i internal improvements, it will not even be •tut and parcel of it. Il will form a portion of in" if internal improvements which South 1 ’ Li- prosecuting with such commendable It will a’.s, 1 f,inn a part of the internal im tii nt stem of Tennessee. A road is char •• -ii i t ■ v imlor C'intraet, from Chattanooga • v.

In a word, no candid man n-'ist th" conviction, that the Hiwassee road “ 1 !• h ! • the direct connection between Mem* - and Charleston, it is not a Georgia enter • !’i it time will show, if this charter be allow '• 'fgia territory is used for the purpose : ’ting other interests at the expense of her • • instruction of the proposed Hiwassee 1 'nr itupiitib'e with the great design of our "* internal improvements. That design is ' it' li direction to our railr ad enterprises, i" freight and travel to pass through -i f. with a view of building up our owtt ei -1 • “ aporis, enhancing the value of our lands, ] •using our capital to yield remunerating in -11-r,"i , you find all our lines of railroad lac State, taking a south-easterly direction, ■ ■ bring the freight and travel from every to the three cities 1 have named, as form - - basis of our system. Hence you find all , branch roads and connecting links located ■ ivterenec to the same object. Whereas the * • 'uni: 1 consideration looks to a different di , Its connections eastward and westward uvsvssary make it the means of diverting tra - id I: "tghts away from Georgia, to the cities •■"■aports of South Carolina. "■‘'■t:g shown that tite road proposed bv the ' inconsistent with both the system •' -design 0 f our internal improvements, permit j '•’ nvite your attention to the irreparable inju •vhioH it will inflict upon great interests oi ’ r -' a, which may not be disregarded by an en. ~ tu ntd Legislature. ",Ptlect upon the Western and Atlantic rail 1 '• old be disastrous. There is a single arti shipment which it would cut off from the mad, that, of itself, ought to be sufficient t< •’ r'l Uto final condemnation, I allude to cop j»er. The amount received during the last year tor the transportation of copper ore over* the v\ estern and Atlantic raiiroad, must have been nearly or quite ?25,000. That business is vet in its infancy, and future years must bring a largely increased revenue from this source. ' But this charter proposes to build a road from the copper mines, which will make the South Carolina roads the means by which it will find its shipping at i Charleston. Are you prepared to surrender this source of profit to our State road ? 1 have said that the grand design of our internal improvements, is to make the boundless produc tions of the great West tributary to the wealth and prosperity of Georgia. To effect this, the State has expended nearly $6,000,000 in the construction of the Western and Atlantic railroad. She wisely tapped tins fertile region at Chattanooga, which is the most favorable point near the termination of the great Mountain chain, to meet the converging j bnes which penetrate the Mississippi vallev and Eastern and .Middle Tennessee. That is the point, at which the State road must ever receive the freights on which it must mainly rely for a profits- ! ; ble business. That is the point of competition, and the geographical position of the State is such, that iter road, without her consent, never can have a formidable rival. The productions West of that point are seeking the Atlantic. Now they are com pelled to pass over the- road in going either to Sa : vannah or Charleston. Looking to the enterprises j now in contemplation, a great line may be expect ; ed, at no very distant day, from Chattanooga to Chesapeake Hay. This w ill be a competitor, but not fearfully formidable. In an hour of thought less generosity our Legislature granted the Rabun Cap charter which gives Charleston a line through Georgia to Knoxville. When completed, this will be another rival to our State road, but perhaps not : one that can supplant ns at Chattanooga. Without I our consent we never can have any others. Hut ; the bill under consideration proposes to make the latter a competitor, which will be most formidable, ; if not ruinous to i>ur State road, by making a con i nccted line at Chattanooga through Rabun Gap to Charleston. It will not be denied, other things being equal, that freight will take the shortest line to the sea. I The road proposed by this charter will inevitably result not only as I have before shown, in a connect 'd lint front Charleston to Chattanooga, through j the Rabun Gap, but a shorten line than the route . over the Western and Atlantic railroad. I hav • I before me the latest edition of Distuniell’xrailway and xteiimdiip guide, published for March, 1856. It is doubtless as reliable as any work of the kind eau be, and certainly sufficiently accurate for the : purpose in hand. According to this work, the dis- i • tances are as follows ; j From Charleston to Columbia it is one hundred i i and twenty-eight miles. ! From Columbia to Anderson it is one hundred j ] and twenty-seven miles. j In a right line from Anderson by Clavton and j i Cleveland, to Chattanooga, it is one hundred and i 1 sixty miles. So that from Chattanooga to Charles- I ] ton, “by this South Carolina route,” it is four him- , : tired and fifteen miles. From Charleston to Augusta it is one hundred j j and thirty-seven miles. From Augusta to Atlanta it is one litmdre 1 and j : sewnty-one miles, and i From Atlanta to Chattanooga one hundred and ! thirty-eight, miles, making from Chattanooga to Charleston, four hundred and forty-six miles bv j tlie Georgia line, showing a difference in distance j of thirty-one miles in favor of the Charleston route, I by the way of Clayton and Cleveland. This enm ! mtrison is based upon the supposition that the i South Carolina route will run from Charleston by Columbia, Anderson, Rabun (Fiji and Cleveland to j Chattanooga. It will, however, be shortened bv ! the proposed road froni Aiken to Anderson, thus ! making the competition still more ruinous to the ; : Western and Atlantic railroad. Ido feel that there | I is nothing to warrant us thus to put in jeopardv l j this great road, built at such an immense cost bv ; :be common treasury of the people. As the guar ; 'bans of the people’s welfare, we are bound to pro tect this valuable State property from distraction. If the South Carolina line were equal to, or even a ‘ little longer than the Georgia line, we should be ■ompelled to reduce the rates of freight to a point which would leave but a small margin for nett j profits. How then can we bear the competition of ; 1 shorter line ? Shall we invite it by our legisla- I tion, when we have it in our power to prevent it forever. From the direction which public opinion is tak ing in Georgia, in reference to the Western and At | lantic railroad, it is probable, that at no distant day, our successors will offer it for sale. Six mil lions of dollars is now the lowest sum for which any man proposes to sell it; in a few years it will be worth and will bring eight millions, if you will not fetter it with embarrassing legislation, or 1 build up a great rival for the benefit of other States. Hut what will it command in market, if t on allow a shorter line to Charleston, by the way of Cleveland and Rabun Gap? 2. If the construction ot the Hiwassee Road should not defeat all our contemplated roads in Vorthe-astern Georgia, it will certainly give a wrong direction to the development of the re sources of that section. In my judgement, it must inevitably do tlie one or tlie other. A’on have chartered a Road from Athens to Clayton, but where would be the inducement to complete the North-eastern railroad? Its stock would be val- ; tteless. It would command no freight from Fast : Tennessee and North Carolina, it would be diver- ; •ed to Charleston. You have chartered a rail- ; road from the copper mines to Marietta or some point between Marietta and Calhoun, llut what would be the inducement to build the Flijav road ? . The same remark is equally applicable to the road j which you liavechartered from Clarksville through tlie Hightower Gap to the copper mines; and in- | deed every road contemplated in that whole divi sion of the State. Hut suppose it should not have this effect upon those enterprizes; suppose that some of them should lie completed, and that through their in strumentality, North-eastern JGeorgia should be developed; what then might we expect ? Inevi tably, that region of the State, instead of being tributary to Georgia, would transport the great bulk of its productions by the South Carolina route. The interest and welfare of North-eastern Georgia does not require legislation, which will ' lead to such results. It may be, to sav the least, | .is well protected by a policy in harmony with the system anil design of our scheme of internal im- j provements. S. The construction of the proposed Hiwassee road would inflict serious detriment, not only upon ( the immense amount of capital inrested in the Western and Atlantic railroad, but also, upon our ! ] great lines, that either directly or indirectly con- i | nect with it. The State road has cost about *f.,- o iO t noii. It is a great feeder to the Georgia rail- | road, which has cost *-t,nnO,pOO, to the Waynes- ( boro road, which has cost about *1,100,000, to the ; Macon and Western road, which has cost about | Al.lOn.OiiO, and to the Central road, which has cost | about *4,00. v«„ h So that we have invested in i these works, in round numbers, *10,200,000. Our people have laid down their money in good faith for the construction of these roads. They have operated most beneficially upon the wealth and \ 1 prosperity of the State, and placed her in advance j of all hei sister southern States. Now, if the con- , templated Hiwassee road would tend still to ad- | vance the great interests of Georgia, it would be | some compensation for the injury il would do to ■ 1 these great enterprises, and would furnish some justification for the sanction of this charter. But j instead of this, it would divert to the South Caro lina route, much the larger portion of the freights, 1 ; on which those heavy investments are dependant, 1 and lamentably depreciate their value. 1 havotoo ; much respect for the intelligence of the General I Assembly, to advance an argument to show, that ] any act of legislation is unwise, which will put in jeopardy *li>,g<>o,uOo of the capital of the people. It is equally unnecessary to advance proof, that j whatever would cripple the elliciency of the roads, constructed on the idea ot legislative consistency and good faith, would he a great public calamity It is no reply to this view, to urge that these j roads are private property, and that, therefore, the interest of their respective corporators is not to he 1 considered by the Legislature, in its action. I re peat, “it does not follow that a charter fora railroad must be granted, as a matter of course when i asked?” is tf-ue the Legislature have the right ; to grant new charters at all times. But the priti ; eiple of good faith is as applicable to, and as bind ing upon States as individuals. When the legislu- I tine charters a road between any two points, there is an implied obligation not to grant another either in conflict with it, or that will destroy the value of 1 franchise first conferred. The stern' adherence to this principle the unqualified recognition of this ; obligation is as much a part of public honor, as it islndispensable to the completion of our inter nal improvement system. I submit, therefore, that the Legislature ought to pause long, before they j will consent to an act, the inevitable effect of which will be to depreciate ruinously the value of the capital which they have invited to be invested in these private railroad companies, ami thereby inflict a serious injury upon the several large com munities along these‘lines, who are deeply interest . d ill their being kept in good condition and oper ated f.nrftJihlf/. without which they cannot be oper ' ated It may be asked, whether the communities who are to he accommodated by the Hiwassee railroad, are to be kept forever excluded from access to fa- j vocable markets, bv the mountains which inter pose between them and the great thoroughfares through our State. In considering this question, it must be borne in mind that the State in refer ence to her own internal interest must be regarded as a unit—a consolidated community, and that so considered, it is a sound principle, that the inter est of a part must he subordinate to the welfare of the whole. Or, in other words, one section is not to be built up at the expense of every other. It is indeed the duty of the Legislature to so shape its - 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 i the interests and rights of other portions of the - State, and in a manner compatible with the ays tern and design of our internal improvement scheme. Hut to the question just propounded, I reply, that the communities ot the Slate who desire the Hiwassee' road ought not by any line of State Policy to be shut off from favorable markets for their produce. There is no necessity for it. The general interest does not require it. They can be accommodated in another way, consistently with a sound Georgia interest and Georgia policy. How can this be done * This leads ine to extend a lit tle more fully my views in reference to our system of internal improvements, than is contained in my j biennial Message, front which 1 quoted itt the first, part of this communication. I said that Au-i gusta. Savannah and Brunswick are the bases of ! our system, and that aid might be wisely extended to the completion of its general framework. For j this purpose, and the fin! development of our na- ; tnral resources, I believe that each of these points of commerce should be connected bv main lines with the great geographical divisions or sections i of our State. At present, neither of these cities is connected with North Fastem Georgia. They are, or snon will be, by contemplated routes, with North-western, Western and South-western Geor gia. Hence, what is needed to connect them til! ] with North-eastern Georgia, is a road from that ; section to Athens or some point on the Georgia or Western and Atlantic railroad. To such an en j terprize, I belie\e|our true interest requires that State aid in some form should be granted. I did hope to see this done bv the present General As sembly. 1 have an abiding confidence’that it will be done at an earlv period. To such a road, branches would be built, in due time, thus devel oping that whole region, affording it facilities for transporting its products to market, and at the same time, making it tributary to the interests and prosperity of our general scheme. Or, if those who seek railroad accommodation by this bill, believe Charleston to be the best mar ket, and desire a connection with it, they should not be prohibited. It is right that every portion of the State be allowed access, if possible, to the market of their choice. For ibis purpose, let charters lie granted to connect from any safe point South of ths Tennessee line, ut Rabun Gap or any point East tliat will give the desired connection. Hut 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 re suit in connections between points, East and West, that will prove fatul to the interests of Geor gia. I trust I am not selfish in the disjointed views which I have presented for your consideration. 1 believe thoroughly in the doctrine of “the greatest good to the greatest number,” and it is under its influence that I have felt bound to withhold ruy sanction to the bill under consideration. Noram 1 animated by any hostility to the inter est and \\ elfare of South Carolina. She is now act ing and always has acted in accordance with the policy which I advocate for Georgia. By it, she is stimulated to the noblest efforts to reach" the West by a route shorter thau that through Georgia bv the Western and Atlantic railroad. She does right in thus seeking to sustain her own public works, itid foster her own seaport. Her energy and sa gacity command mv admiration, i respect her 1 people, I venerate her great men. I applaud her public spirit, and I cordially bid her ‘God speed ’ ut her career of enterprise. Ido not love her less, hut Georgia more. Still, however, much l mav rejoice in her prosperity, I confess to an ardent desire, that our Legislature shall not promote it at the sacrifice of our own. My motto is “ Georgia fir.it, oar ot-tennimu six tc, \i st,-cut,d, tin other Sfatal third, and last, ‘the rest of mantind.’ ” Herschki. V. Johnson. Do Good.

The receipts at all the southern ports, compared , with 1353, at the same time, show' an increase this ! year of about 60,000 bales only. The falling off', j at all the receiving points, for the last two weeks, is very apparent. Appearances indicate that we have reached the highest point, in the excess of re- : ceipts, and the probability of the crop reaching j 3,600,000 hates, is sustained bv a very attenuated j thread. DRY GOODS. There bus been a large business done in dry goods during the past week. The bright and genial sunshine has thronged the j streets with shoppers—who have been long ice- ! bound- anxious to get the tirst glance at the new patterns and styles for Spring. Our merchants j have large and elegant stocks of dry goods, and are turning out a large number of Cheue Silks, : Organdie and twisted Silk Robes, with all the ap purtenances belonging' to a Ladies’ toilet--Chantilla i and Moire Antique de Tuelleries Mantillas, arc all ) the rage. Country merchants also will find large and well assorted stacks in our market, and many are availing themselves of the facilities offered here to fill their orders. OKOCHRY TR.YDF. We have no change to notice in most of the articles in the grocery trade, and refer our readers to last week’s quotations. In 1 M 4. . there is a decided decline; orders for small lots of two to five hhds., have been tilled at to cents per gallon. We notice a considerable quantify of Adamantine Candle* coining into mar- \ kel, and we quote prices from 27 to 28 cents per lb. Whisky is dull of sale, as there seems to be a general impression that it will decline in priee. , We quote 8.3 to 55 cents per gallon. SWEET POTATOES. We do not remember to j ! have ever known such an active demand tor sweet ! potatoes for planting, as exists at present. The j great destruction to seed, during the past severe i winter, is the cause. The commodity is very scarce, and we have heard of sales as high as 85 fi bushel for seed sweet potatoes. IRISH POTATOES.—The market is well sup plied; and selling, according to quantity and quali- , lv, from $2 to *3 ft barrel. At auction they have j j sold front #1.75 to #2.50. BACON.—There is a good demand, and prices range from 9% to 10 cents, hog round, for choice ; j I but for an inferior article a lower price is asked ! ! fn the priee of Lard there is no change. BEEVES ANI) SHOATS. Good fat No. 1 Beef will command 7 cents ; and Shoats weighing from 1 5o to 75 pounds are worth 7% to 8 cents. FLOUR.—The market is very quiet, and prices ! for Superfine range from #8 to #8.50 ; and for Ex- j tra from #9 to #9.50. The supply is very large, I and holders are very agreeable to purchasers.

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