A public meeting of the citizens was held last night, at the City Hall,Mr. B. Conley in the Chair, ami Col. M. P. Stovall, acting as Secretary. Judge John P. King addressed the meeting in an able argument in favor of tlie subscription, by the City Council, of #s'J",o<» in the Stock of the Savannah Valley railroad. We were compelled to leave at an early hour, and are not prepared to state what other gentle men addressed the meeting, or what business was done otherwise. Savannah Valley Railroad.—Shall Augus ta Subscribe? As this important question comes up to-day for the action of our citizens, we re-publish the resolu tions recently passed bv the City Council of Au gusta defining the conditions of the subscription. It is, we thiuk, apparent that the interests of the City are strictly guarded. The terms here laid down are such as must protect our City from detri ment, and will probably secure to her as large a share of the advantages of the project as the most zealous friends of the Savannah Valley road among us could reasonably anticipate. The subject, has been elaborately discussed in all its bearings, and if our citizens err in their decision to-day, it will not be for want of light. We have no new views to present, but simply here record our conviction that the construction of the road will promote the prosper ity of Augusta, and that the proposed subscription by' the City under the restrictions laid down, would be judicious and wise : At a called meeting of the City Council of Au gusta, the following preamble and resolutions, in troduced by Mr, Bitt, were adopted : Whereas, a majority of the Committee, appoint ed to report upou the propriety of the City aiding in the construction of the Savannah Valley railroad; and said majority being supposed to represent the views of a majority' of the legal voters of this citv. Therefore— Resolved, That the City Council will, with the concurrence of a majority of the legal voters of the City to he expressed in the mode prescribed bv law, subscribe £SiK),OoO to the capital stock of said Company, on the following terms, as a basis tor future negotiations: Ist. The subscription not to be obligatory, un less the Savannah Valley Railroad Company shall within six months, obtain good and reliable cash subscriptions of payable without quali fication or condition, except the condition of the whole sum being made up from parties other than the City Council of Augusta. 2nd. No discrimination shall ever be made against this point. In any future arrangement of freights, whether local or through, Augusta shall parti 'ipate fully in the advantage of the minimum rate, whether it be in the up or down charge for th>' transportation of passengers, produce or mer chandise. 3rd. The principal business office and work shops of the Valley road to he iu Augusta. 4th. The construction of the Valley railroad shall be commenced at Augusta, and proceed con tinuous!'.- to its junction with the Rabun Gap road, and shall from some point to be designated by the City Council be constructed on tlie Northern or river side of the Augusta canal, so as to make the canal embankment on that side the bed of said l-oad from the point so designated, to some other point to be iu like manner designated between Ray’s Creek and the head wall of said canal. oh. The connection between the Valiev road and the Georgia railroad, shall be at some jioin west of Camming street, and that of both oi thest roads, with the South Carolina railroad, shall hi b- ween the now eastern terminus of ihe Georgia railroad and the through Depot lot of the South Carolina railroad south of Walker street, and tins latter connection shall be by horse. power only. t>di. For the connection herein proposed, th railroads in interest, shall pay, or caused to hi paid to the City Council of Augusta, such sum as Uie Council may deem a just equivalent for tin same. 7. The City Council of Augusta to be secured one-third of the Directors of said Valley road, arm tiia: :lie Directors thus provided for and secured, shall be annually nominated by the City Council.

SisGfLAY Accident from the use of Ethf.r.— The Detroit Tribune states that a young lady, a member of one of the first families in that city, recently, while suffering from neuralgia in her face, in her agony threw herself upon h r bed and attempted by the use of ether to alleviate her suf fering. While applying that remedy, by accidem she dropped the vial and spilled the ether upon her shoulder and the pillow. The strong fumes of it soon rendered her helpless and powerless, and only by mere accident she was discovered. All her powers were prostrated, and notwithstanding all medical assistance, her life is despaired of. She has not yet recovered her consciousness. Mr. Mason writes from Paris that the diploma tists of all nations consider the war at an end, and tha- all the relations of peace are about to be re sumed. The conference, however, may enter upOD a system of negotiations, embracing the revisions of the treaties of 1315, by which the general inter national relations of the great and minor powers of Europe were settled. It is needless to suggest that this is a work of such vast proportions, as must, if undertaken, greatly prolong the session of the conference. A resolution was offered in the Louisiana Legis lature recently, to prohibit the sale of lottery tick ets within the State. Mr. Sr. Paul, who offered it, stated that the city of New Orleans pays annually in cash twelve hundred thousand dollars into the coffers of the Queen of Spain, for Havana lottery tickets, and that a quarter of a miliion is paid for a similar purpose to Alabama and Maryland. Dr. Parker, the United States Commissioner to China, has notified the citizens of the United States, residing in that section of the world, that they will not only forfeit protection, but be liable to heavy penalties if hereafter found engaging in the traffic known as the “Coolie Trade.” The grand jury of Washington, D. C., has ad journed, it is said, without finding a bill against Mr. Rust for assaulting Mr. Greeley.

We cheerfully- comply with the request of this gentleman, and spread his defence of the Associa ted press before our readers. Columbia, March 26th. James Gardner, Esq. — Sir: In the issue of the Constitutionalist of Sunday last, an article appears, assailing the New York Associated press, to which I propose to reply. I request, therefore, the privi lege of using the same columns, through which the assault was made, for my defence of the Asso ciation. Tour strictures are based upon the assumption, that the New York Association make a large pro fit out of the despatches which thev receive over the wires from Halifax, and if that can be demol ished, the superstructure which vou have reared upon it must necessarily apple to the ground. 1 will, therefore, state, 'that the presses of the four cities of C harleston, Savannah, Augusta and Columbia, do not pay- now more than enough to meet the simple expenses of tolls to this point from New \ ork and New Orleans, and that during the brief continuance of the agency at Augusta, the four cities enumerated, did not contribute enough ;o pay the expense of getting the news to them. In fact, the receipts from the entire southern press and merchants, barely met the expenses of this agency, consequently the southern press contributed neither directly or indirectly, one soli tary cent towards the defraying of expenses upon steamer’s news from Halifax to New York. If I had the hundred patrons, of whom you speak, some profit upon the Association’s news might be made; hut as I have not quite one fourth of that number, newspapers and merchants, included, I am not able to “peddle out” the news at quite so large a profit as your imagination has suggested. Your surmise, that the Association have any interest in increasing the tolls of the Telegraph Company by sending despatches of unnecessary length is palpably fallacious; for as the Association sell you the news at a fixed price, without refer ence to the quantity sent and pay the tolls thereon, it is manifestly their interest to get despatches in a.- brief and condensed a form as possible. In conclusion, I have only to renew the offer which I have made heretofore to the presses of Augusta and Savannah, which is, to furnish you with just such news as you may wish to receive, from any point you please, at just such u price as will barelv cover the expeuse of getting the news to you. The Associated arrangement you admit to be the best in respect to its news facilities; and that it is the cheapest you can have, I unhesita ingly assert. Possessing then, the advantages of reliability and cheapness, it fears competition with , no other arrangement, and will not lack for pat rons, even should the editors of Augusta and Sa vannah withdraw their support, Respectfully, T. S. Piggot, Agent New York Associated Press. If as Mr. Piggot states, “the presses of the four cities of Charleston, Savannah, Augusta and Co lumbia, do not pay now more than enough to meet the simple expenses of tolls t> this point from New Tort and New Orleans,” we answer in the name of common sense and common justice, why should •uch a claim be demanded or expected from those publishers ? Must they pay for the work where the publishers in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash ington, Richmond, Portsmouth and a dozen other places reap the benefits ? Is it expected from the four cities named, that they shall pav, to this point, from New York, the telegraph tolls for news which is to be dispatched to Columbus, Montgom ery, Mobile and New Orleans, and to all other Southern points for publishers and merchants? Byway of illustration—A. consents to proceed from New York to New Orleans, and charge noth ing torhis time, if B will only agree to pay his ravelling expenses—the bargain is made—C D and E each agree to pay his travelling expenses to Philadelphia, Montgomery and Mobile for some lew minutes talking services to be performed— at Philadelphia, F G and II pay travelling ex penses to Richmond, Augusta and New Or leans, for similar services—-at Baltimore, A picks up customers to talk for at Portsmouth, Co lumbia, S. C. and New Orleans, and so on through out the route, and through the alphabet, each party paying only travelling expenses. It may appear very liberal on the part of A, and many persons will give him great credit forhis disinterested labor —but bow will stand A’s financial condition when he reaches New Orleans ? He talked for each man for only travelling expenses, and while lie made nothing for las labor directly, he lias realized about fif >oo profits on his trip, in the way of travelling expenses! Is it reasonable or just that the publishers in Savannah, Charleston, Columbia, and Augusta, should pay the travelling expenses of the New- Ysrk Vgent FROM New York to this point or Columbia, when he is on his way to New Orleans? The Ygeut, or his telegraph news, does not leave New i ork specially for this point only, but meets us on iis journey, and demands pay for his travelling xpenses from New York before he can communi •aie bis news. We very well perceive she j ie rx? under which *lr. Piggot assumes tha. our surmise that the As s i iaied Press in New- York have an interest in .ending iorward despatches of an unnecessary ■ 'tigth and devoid of interest, is “palpably falia ious.” But, where several parties, on a long line , require telegraph news, and the Associated Press •ay one toll for all, and then multiply the >f customers by the amount first paid, of course, .aviug reference to the distance, it is very probable hat the Association isausi-ms to have the multiply ing numbers as large as possible, so as to make a very gratifying and profitable result. Mr. Piggot’s offer, in conclusion, to serve the presses of Savannah and Augusta, for “just such t price as will barely cover the expense of getting the Mows to us,” is apparently plausible, but it is the old ory of “merely paying travelling expenses.” If we have to pay “just such a price,” it is as well to get somewhat nearer the source of information, .lid have the news hashed over the wires to us direct, without waiting for the circuitous route around and through Columbia, situated as it is off >f the main or through line of communication. Now, to test Mr. Piggot’s fairness, will he agree ) furnish us, or the cities named, with the tele graph news, and none others, if we agree to pay •notigh to “cover the expense (the telegraph tolls,) i’ getting the news to us.” He partially offers to do this, and perhaps may intend to make that im ression, but says he has about twenty- other cus tomers who of course each pay "just enough to cover the expense of getting the news to them.” As he is the Agent of the New York Associated Press, does he feel authorized to contract with us, upon the above terms, and not send any of the clegraph news, by the wires, beyond Augusta? Os course he will nor, because ho calculates to re live from each and all his customers "just enough ?o cover the expense of getting the news to them.” Personally, we have the highest respect for Mr. Piggot, and were anxious to continue our business relations with him as the Agent of the New York Associated Press, and when he removed from Co lumbia to Augusta, we doubled his salary, and yet he wanted it still further increased. We thought 1 1,2' mi a year was a sufficient salary for Mr. Piggot, at this point. When at Columbia, he only asked and received J6OO, and he was then, as now, the Agent of other newspapers and private parties, and in receipt of liberal salaries from them as their Agent. It is true, we paid “ the travelling ex penses,” or telegraph tolls, as all others did, but at Augusta, where the Agent was located, we con tended we had no tolls to pay, as every-thing he tarnished us was on its way to New Orleans, but for all that we willingly consented to pav the Agent double what he charged at Columbia. The New A ork Associated Press, as we conceive, extorts too much money out of too many parties for the same “travelling expenses,” and we think we have satisfactorily exemplified that fact in these remarks. We have never been captious fault finders with the Associated Press, or with the Telegraph Compa ny or with any of the Agents employed in conduct ing the business in either department. In all our intercourse with them we have found them polite and attentive, and urge no objection except to the unreasonable exactions of their so often charged “travelling expenses.” However, before closing, it may not be improper to state that, as a general thing, the daily papers in the Middle, Northern and Eastern States, and in some portions of the South-western States, publish telegraph news, promptly, because we presume they reeeive it, but South of Washington, we often no tice it published from one to two days old. This condition of things has certainly not escaped Mr. I iggot s attention. We do not refer to steamer’s news, but to other matters of general intelligence, which, if worthy at all of being sent by telegraph, should be transmitted speedily. BY TELEGRAPH.

G. FARRELL'S CELEBRATED ARABIAN .LINIMENT [S well known to possess the most wonderfully healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, and by its promptness in effecting cures, which previously had resisted all other medicines, ad ministered by the most scientific phyefoians, has placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in I reduced to the 'people of the United States. It stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and thus enables nature to throw off disease —it pene trates to the botur, adding strength and activity to the muscles - it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allays nervous irritation, producing a delightfully pi< using sensation through the whole frame. Owing o its remarkable autieeptic properties, it purifies and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal; it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speeds’ cure. This Liniment from its penetrating anil strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe cific lor Paralysis or Palsy, V* hiteswellings and diseased joints, and in fact all complaints invol ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing, aud affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the patient could not walk or stand without artificial support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally without use or feeling. ¥or Children with, Croup it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over the throat and chest, it applied freely on the chest it never tails to give relief in the severe (dough* at tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals wounds speedily—will cure Sealdhead, Mange, etc. Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for •sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Still Joints, Sweeney, Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc. Look out for Counterfeits ! The public arc cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having Hie name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they w ill perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil effects. The genuine article is manufactured only by 11. G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois, to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters 11. G. be fore Farrell's, thus— H. G. FARRELL’S—and his signature on the wrapper, all others are counter feit. Sold bv HAVILAN D, RISLEY A CO., W. II A J -TURPIN, X. J.
