The Fire Yesterday Morning.
A lire occurred oil Marbury street, near the Au ,
gusta Cotton Factory, yesterday morning, about
half-past two o’clock. It originated in the store of j
Mr. Lterra, and consumed the building and a large j
portion of the goods in the store, his furniture, ,
Ac. The adjoining wooden building, occupied as!
a store and residence, by Mr. Matthew Sharon', j
with all the contents, as well as the wooden stores j
on the corner, occupied by Mr. Davis, were all con- j
sumed. Very few of the goods in the stores, or ;
the furniture, were saved.
The fire extended across the street to the row
of brick tenements, owned by the Factory Com- I
panv. Nos. 1, and 2, were occupied by Mr. X. A. ,
Fukh as a Factory hoarding house.

The roof and wood work in the interior of these
tenements were burnt, as well as a very large por
tion of the furniture and clothing of the occupants.
All of the families are poor, and seem much dis
tressed at the calamity which has overtaken them,
fn tenement Vo. 6, both ol the Jacksons had sick
families, (several children down with the measles
and lost what little furniture and clothing they i
possessed, save tvhat they hurriedly put tut when
they were aroused by the fire.
The loss to the Factory, from injury to their
buildings, will he about #4,iidO, and the other wood
en residences, stores, goods and furniture, belong
ing to other parties, will be about $4,000. Mr.
Leckie’s store and house, where the fire originated,
we leant, was insured, hut to what extent there
was insurance upon other property, we did not
learn.

The Iliwassee Railroad Veto.
In the Griffin Empire State is a forcible article
on this subject, which we trausfjr to our columns
for several reasons.
Ist. We concur in the general principles laid
down.
2d. We admire its tolerant and liberal spirit,
in reference to Gov. Johnson, whose motives it
does justice to, while contesting his positions.
3d. We desire to enter our protest to its assump
tion that the public press of Georgia, with one ex
ception, “is abiorbt J bv the State aid railroad sys
tem of Georgia.” Iu the connection in which
this latter assertion is made, the inference is de
ducible that the public press is aiding to rear in
our State a railroad despotism, destined, at no dis
tant day to crush out the liberties of the people.
\\ e are second to no man—not even to the wri
ter— I “Justice”— in opposition to the despotic pow
er of corporations. We, too, consider that special
privileges should be granted with caution, and the
recipients, when handed together, under charters,
watched with jealousy. It was because the exist
ing railroad corporations in the State already pos
sessed vast power, and were capable, by combi
nation, of exercising an undue influence over State
legislation, that we advocated the proposition to
grant the charter sought for by the Iliwassee Rail
road Company, and advocate the granting of
charters to the people of every section who desire
to build a road for their own convenience and the
enhancement of their property. It was to coun
teract the spirit of monopoly inspiring existing
corporations, for it was evident that those pos
sessing these special privileges desire to monopo
lize them. Every effort to build other roads which
might draw- off a portion of their custom and relieve
sections of the State now tributary to their coffers,
is looked on by these powerful corporations as
infringing ou their vested rights. They
would have the regions now conimereially
in vassalage to them, for want of competing
routes, hopelessly subjected to their own use, as a
conquered province to a Roman pro-consul or a
Turkish Pasha. We favor the largest liberty of
railroad construction, as a means of increasing the
individual wealth of each section and the aggre
gate prosperity of all.
There is trade and profitable business enough
for all the roads at all likely to be built for genera
tions. The self-interest of those who embark in
railroad enterprises is a sufficient check to ruinous
competition. Men will not invest money in build
ing railroads that will not pay. There is not mo
ney enough to build as many roads among us as
would unquestionably be profitable. It is no ob
jection with us if capital comes to the aid of our
citizens from other States in building their roads.
We would never advocate an embargo on that sort
of importation.
Believing railroads have already greatly en
hanced the prosperity of Georgia, we advocate
their increase, and the aid of the State when asked
for, to judicious enterprises. It is by the diffu
sion of the system that the dreaded despotism, of
which “ Justice" speaks, may be avoided. It is
the concentration of power, in a few wealthy cor.
Mirations which seek to make all the rest of the
State dependent on and tributary to- them, that
mist be counteracted. For this reason we thought
' wise in the Legislature to pass the Iliwassee
Railroad Charter, and to subscribe for stock in
the Atlantic and Gulf road. For the same reason
ve would advocate State aid to the North Eastern
ailroad, to connect the Rabun Gap with Athens,
>r other convenient points in Georgia, whenever
lie Blue Ridge road is sufficiently advanced to in*
iuce an adequate amount of private capital to eo
iperate writh the State in this connection.
From the Empire State.
Review of the lliwassee Railroad Veto.
In dissenting from the views and opinions Gov-
Johnson has expressed in his “lliwassee railroad
veto," no improper motives are intended to be im
puted to him. There is nothing in the veto to
.hange the public sentiment in Georgia, in regard
to the purity of his character ; and the usual evi
dence of intellectual ability is displayed through
out that document. The writer dissents from the
expressions used towards the Governor at the
Union county meeting, and considers them as im
proper as they were undeserved.
Political questions are not founded upon subjects
of State nohcyj and the veto cannot effect Governor
fohuson s standing with the Democratic party,
hough it differs from opinions of a portion of that
party. And it is with feelings of the highest re
gard for his great moral worth and integntv, as a
well tried and faithful public servant that some
•bjections will be urged against bis veto message,
f‘*r place and position wili not exempt any person
from error, or from a free and fearless exposition
of the opinions of any man in our Government.
Gov. Johnson appears to attach some mysterious
rights and privileges to railroads that are not in
herent in them, or conceded to them, by statute.
Is there any difference as to the right of construc
tion, between a railroad and carriage road? Has
a man not the right to make either a carriage or rail
road on his own land, if he does not thereby inter
fere with the property of his neighbor?' Every
owner of land certainly has that right, his neigh
bor has the same right, and his neighbor’s neigh
bor also; they may unite fur their mutual advan
tage, and continue to unite until a road is extend
ed across one or more counties. For the conven
ience of conducting their enterprise, they apply to
the Legislature to incorporate them into a compa
ny, the Legislature does not create their right, they
have rights incident to the ownership of the land ;
the charter of incorporation confirms their naturai
rights, aud consolidates their capital. The same
principle applies in working mines, a man lias the
right to work his mine himself, or he may join the
copital of his neighbors in a stock company, to
operate to greater advantage. The English law
acknowledges every man’s right of way out from
his lands, and the statute law of Georgia re-affirras
the same rights to the citizens of this State.
Gov. Johnson says ‘that our scheme of internal
improvement is not only stamped with the symme
try of system, but with the forecast of palpable
design.” It is tlie “ symmetry of system” or pal
pable design (both are admitted) that deprived the
citizens of Georgia, sixty to 100 miles distant,from
any part of the system of Kail Hoads, from seek
ing the nearest and most convenient market for
the products of their honest labor? If such an in
justice and iniquity is attached to our railroad
system, as to deprive the citizens of the Union, or
any other country, of their just, equal rights, inci
dent to their sovereign title to the soil, as freemen,
It is time the people of Georgia should have their
rights defined. If they are the humble subjects of
the railroad power, we should acknowledge our
allegiance, and not be longer deluded with the
rain hope and belief that we are freemen. How
far one railroad, or more, is to operate upon other
and distinct sections of the State, and deprive per
sons of the privileges that are common to all por
tions of the State, is a very grave question. If
he people of Bibb county have a right to con
struct a railroad in their own county, can any
one say that the people of Union, or any other
country, have not the same right?
The State road cannot now carry off all the
freight from Chattanooga; it has had to pay a
urge amount of damages already for undertaking
more than il performed. And when the Memphis
mad reaches Chattanooga, there will be enough
freight at the last named place for two roads. The
country opened to our State road, then will extend
from the Lakes of Canada to the Rocky Mountains,
ind to the' Gulf of Mexico. How can our road
ransport sudh an amount of freight as may be
.•oncentrated at Chattanooga? The uncertainty j
if transporting such a large amount of freights as
the certainty of rapid transportation might accu- j
mulate there, will force the freight on the Ohio
tnd .Mississippi rivers to seek a more northern
route aud market to the Atlantic. Such a suicidal
dog in the manger policy, will not only drive trade j
from our own road, but will prevent our gallant i
sister State from a participation in the trade that j
may be made by liberal policy,) amply remuner- !
ating to both States and roads. Such a policy en
riches not us, hut will add to the great northern ;
monopoly of trade. Savannah and Charleston
need not be rivals in trade, but of mutual ad van- !
tage to each other, bv establishing a line of steam- j
-its to Europe, and take freights and passengers
across the Atlantic ports, when the northern ports
ire frozen up. Such a line of steamers will be 1
safer than a line from a more northern port, and j
he difference of distance will be more than over
balanced by the safety of a Southern route.
In the discussion of the lliwassee railroad bill
in the House of Representatives, it was no secret j
from whence most of the funds for the construe- !
:ion of the road would be derived ; and that the
ailroad would be connected with the roads of
fennessee aud South Carolina, was also well
mown.
Though the Governor seems to be impressed j
with the belief that he only was able to discover
iow the lliwassee road was to be connected at each
ud, there was not a member in cither House,
-ut was well apprised of the fact, when the Gov
•rnor made the great, and to him secret discovery
j' “ nv ,lie road was to be joined to the roads of
a ? d South Carolina. The country
® 1 w hich the lliwassee railroad was intended
j mu ™ in *?-' mountains, the junction
with the road to Cleveland, in Tennessee, would
place the citizens of those counties in connection
with New Orleans, and by the South Carolina road 1
with Charleston, giving them access to the Gulf
and Atlantic markets. These junctions of the Hi
wassee road were fully discussed in the Legisla
ture, and admitted by a majority of both Houses,
that the citizens of F’annin, Union and Rabun
counties, have the right to carry their produce to
the markets of their choice, the Governor savs
that they shall not do it, though he admits the
right! the money being furnished by South Ca
rolina to build the road, fs an objection that was
not expected to he heard, at least from such a
source, two millions of dollars expended in three
counties, is a boon to that mountain-bound region
that would enable ttie people there to educate many
of their children, add to their comforts, besides
providing away to market for them, for all time
to come. All these advantages the Governor has
denied to these hardy sons of toil, to sw-ell the
bloated coffers of railroad stockholders.
If ttie building of railroads and cities were the
’ only objects of Government, then the Governor’s
veto advocates the true and correct policy of Geor- j
gia. But there is another interest that sustains all
others: it furnishes the freight to railroads, feeds ;
the cities, and pays the laxes in .State aid appro- ]
priations. ft is the producers, the tillers of the j
soil, they are iu Union and Fannin, as well as in I
every other county in the State. The time has ar
rived when their rights have to be considered and 1
respected, especially when the State debt is to be I
again increased by State aid to railroads.
, The Governor was correct when he said he be
lieved in “the greatest good to the greatest mini
| herbut in the application of his maxim, he was
( most unfortunate to think that the “greatest num
| her” consists of those connected with railroads
and cities. There is hope for the Governor, as his
principle is right; his mistake consists in consid
■ ering the railroad and city interests as constituting
! the greatest number, when it consists of the pro
ducers and payers of freight. When he is ap
prised of this fact, it will be his pleasure, no doubt,
to direct the veto power in another direction. It
is nearer from Savannah to Chattanoga, than it is
from Charleston to Chattanooga, by wav of Cleve
land, giving the advantage in distance to the At
lantic, to our own sea port. The wants and neces
sities of the producers, the “greatest number,” re
quire two roads from Chattanooga to the Atlantic,
so that freights may be kept at reasonable rates.
The avarice and extortion of corporations are pro
verbial, and afier the present generation passes
1 away, the next, or some succeeding one, mav press
! too hard upon the productive industry of the cottn-
I try; and as there will be sufficient freight for two
roads, one will act as a check upon the other, and
prevent extortion.
Many persons attach more importance to carry
ing freight across the State from other States, than
the subject deserves. It cannot increase (he pro
ductive industry of this State, further than the
consumption of food by the employees of the t oads,
there is no benefit, except to a tew stockholders,
who arc richer. But the rule of railroads, that
freight carried the longest distance, shall take pre
cedence of freight at way stations, operates inju
riously to the people of Georgia, giving the pre
ference to foreign freight over the freights of ou:
own State.
The Governor consoles the people of Union and
Fanin, with a promise of State aid to a railroad ,
he is liberal with State funds, to reject two mil
lions from South Carolina, and take the money
from the people of Georgia, for the benefit of rail
road stockholders; he is not certain it will be
granted at all. The people of this State have to
pay now, every year, $230,000 for interest alone,
to sav uothingof the principle when it become due.
The money given by the State for the benefit of
railroad stockholders, only stimulates the desire
fore more; they will never be satisfied. And the
. citizens of Georgia are not interested to build rail
■ roads at the public expense, to freight copper from
Tennessee.
But the Governor most certainly y ields the whole
question, when lie says, “it is right that et cry por
tion of the State be allowed access, if possible, to
i the market of their choice.” That is all the peo
ple of Union asked, and all the Legislature
granted them. His principles are admirable, and
vet there seems to he some power operating upon
him, that forces him to apply them, or some wav
to defeat them. If liefeallv believes it is right anil
just that every portion of the State should be per
mitted to make choice of a market, win did he not
allow Fannin, Union and Rabun counties to go to
the market of their choice V The chance of going
was not only “possible” but highly “probable. ’ He
admitted the right to go to New Orleans and to
Charleston to sell their corn and wheat, and bin
their sugar, coffee, iron and salt, and new bonnets
and dresses for their wives and daughters; but he
I tells them further, they shall not go at all, unless
they go a road he will have constructed forthem at
i some time, though it is farther to market, they
1 must wait and travel his road, or not go to mar
- ket. The people of Union are justly indignant;
- no doubt they admire his principles, but regret
‘ they are not adapted to a mountainous portion of
■ the State, particularly if the market of their choice
- is in a direction eastward.
The railroad corporations of Georgia are des
tined to rule the State,, whenever tlieir interests
are concerned. Corporations become the worst
despotism; where they have the power, these iron
“ garotes” will press upon the body politic, until
the liberties of the people are crushed on, unless
they are kept under by wholesome restrictions.
The whole public press of Georgia, i with only one
exception, the Corner Stone, of Columbus, Ga., J.
N. Bethune, Editor, i is now, not subsidized, but
absorbed b\ the State aid railroad system of
Georgia.
When this great “symmetrical system” of rail
roads is completed by State aid, populous cities
i built, and a splendid State government carried
out, imitative of the splendor of European Courts,
there will he then a people oppressed by taxes, to
pay the interest on a State debt, that will deprive
them of even the comforts of life for their families,
the principal of which they can never pay. The
only way to avert such a calamity from our child
ren, is to stop State aid to railroads now, pay the
State debts, and apply any surplus funds that may
he on hand, to educational purposes. Charter the
lliwassee railroad, that asks no State aid, secure
; to all sections of Georgia free trade anil equal
| rights; let the balance of Georgia railroads be
! built by private enterprise, there is sufficient capi
tal to furnish the funds, and intelligence enough to
point out all railroads that will pay remunerating
dividends. It is not the object of our State gov
ernment to become a stock jobber in railroads!
The Governor concludes iiis Veto with this mot
to, “Georgia first, our co-tenninous sisters second,
the other States third, and last the rest of man
kind.” If his motto was in accordance with his
Veto, it would read thus: “Railroads first, build
ing cities next, the rest of Georgia last!"

Judos. O. H. Kenan. We remember distinctly
seeing last summer an announcement of the death

on reading, a few days since, of the recent death of
the same person. But the climax of astonishment
was reached yesterday, when we were credibly in

him. Me would hi- pleased to hear from any

l-if" A Perfumed Breath W lint I.ml v
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “BALM
OF A THOUSAND FLOWERS” as a dcntrifice,
j would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
| white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
j their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate
; their friends will never mention it. Pour a single
j drop of the “ Balm ” on your tooth-brush, and
j wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
j bottle will last a year.
A 1!k w TtFTi. Complexion’ may easily be acquired
!by using the “ Balm of u Thousand Flouers." It
: will remove tan, pimples and freckles from the skin,
leaving it of a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel,

and morning.
Shaving M viib East. Wet your shaving-brush
i 'n either warm or cold wafer, pour on two or three

\ MR V family should at once procure a bot
i tie of the great Arabian remedy for man and
beast, called 11. G. FARRELL’S ARABIAN LINI
MENT. It allays the most intense pains in a few
minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and thus cures stiff joints ; it penetrates the flesh
to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures rheu
matism and palsied limbs of twenty years’ stand
ing ; also, tumors, swelled neck, enlargement of
the glands, and is the best medicine for ailments
of cattle ever discovered, curing sweeny, spavins,
splint, and all diseases which require an internal
application.
Sun Pains ten years' standing cured by 11. (j.
Farrell'* Arabian Liniment.
Mr. 11. G. Eahhei.i, /bar Sir: 1 had been af
flicted with the “ Sun Pain ” for the last ten years,
and could never get relief except by bleeding; but
by the use ot 11. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment,
applied over the temples about three or four times
a (lav, it was entirely removed, and 1 have felt
nothing ot it since. 1 went into the stable one
night, to apply it to a horse’s sore leg, and being
very lame he stumbled and fell against my letts,
crushing and bruising them so badly that they
turned black as my hat, rendering them powerless.
1 applied your Liniment, and was well enough in a
few day s to go about again as usual. 1 also crushed
my finger in a shocking manner, by letting a back
log fall upon it ; vour Liniment soon healed it up
though. JOHN B. M’GEE.
LaSalle Precinct, Peoria Co., 111., Feb. 6. 1549.
! F* </. Barker, of A- a 1 Canton, 111., says: |
Mr. 11. U. Farrell s Arabian Liniment has cured
some bad cases here, which every other remedy
had failed in ; one was a white swelling and con
tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve vears old.
The leg had withered away, and was so contracted
that he had no n.-o ot it. Three doctors had tried
their .skill upon it in vain, and he ini* fast sinking
to tl.e yrar, , when the boy’s father was induced ti
ny 11. (f. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment. Before the
j first bottle was used up, he came to Mr. B.’s store,
and the first words he said were, “ Mr. Barker, 1
! want all that Liniment you have in tin* store; the
| one bottle I got did niy boy more good than all that
; had ever been done before.” That boy is now well
i and hearty, and has free use of bis legs. It is good
; tiir sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings.
Look out for Counterfeits I
The public are cautioned against another coun
| terleit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
gerous of all the counterfeits, because bis having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error !
when the spurious mixture lias wrought its evil j
effects.
