This very efficient Fire Company leave our city on Monday morning, to become the guests of the Phoenix Fire Company of Charleston. Their brother firemen below are making arrangements to give them a cordial greeting. The Courier, ot yesterday, says : Firemen’s Parade. THE VISITORS FROM At OUST A. On Tuesday next, 29th inst., the Annual Fire Parade and Inspection will take place, as will be seen by official notice, and our various bands ot firemen are wideawake with preparation. The oc casi hi will be heightened by a visit of the Mechan -1 Fire Kngiue Company of Augusta, who are ex pected to arrive by the tram of Monday, and will be the guests of the Phoenix Fire Engine Comparn of our city, F. J. Porcher, President. The ver\ commodious and elegant hall of the Phoenix Com pany, in Cumberland, near Meeting street, lias been lately relitted and decorated specially.

The procession will then counter-march, und conduct the Mechanic firemen to the Charles ton Hotel, where quarters have been engaged foi them. In the evening there will be a collation ol welcome and social greeting at the Phoenix Hall, as preparatory to the main interest of Tuesday, the particulars of which we shall give in due time. Death of Iloehsa, the Harpist.

The Convention re cently met at Jefferson city, and we presume were not harmonious. The Presidency.-—Two Detroit journals take strong ground in favor of Wm. H. Seward, the Republican candidate, for the Presidency. One ot them, the Madison Journal, expresses the opinion that “no anti-slavery man yet spoken of for the Presidency will carry Wisconsin by as large a ma jority as Wm. H. Seward.” The Darlington (South Carolina) Flan says that a child in that District, not long since, re ceived the following name : Frances Cornelia Amarixthia Olivia Sarah Rebecca Sophhoxiv Julia Joskpbuxr Victoria, Queen of South Caro lina. Dr. Klipstein, whose plantation is within a few miles of Mount Pleasant, in the Parish of Christ Church, S. C., has lately discovered’the remains ol a Mastodon imbedded in alluvium.

Wilkes, con sists of sixteen young men, who are going to the Territory with a view of settling permanently a* lawyers, mechanics, editors, & c A company of nine Georgians also arrived, bound for the same Territory. Wheat and Flour.—A late letter from Pans says: “The number of barrels of American tioui at this moment instore in Havre, is 250,000; ot wheat. 251,082 hectolitres. A hectolitre is about 2 5-6 Winchester bushels.) To these figures add the quantity knc>wu to be on sea destined for the port of Havre, viz: 54,000 barrels of Hour and 02,000 hectolitres of wheat, and the sunt total will be 304,000 barrels of flour, and 313.000 hectolitres of wheat.” 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!" Ji STICK. Judos. O. H. Kenan. We remember distinctly seeing last summer an announcement of the death of Judge 0. If. Kenan published in many of our State cotemporaries. We were therefore surprised 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 formed that Judge Kenan was alive and in onr city, and that our informant, had just spoken to him. Me would hi- pleased to hear from any source the truth of the matter. Atlanta Intelligencer, April 25.

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. i The genuine article is manufactured only by 11. j I G.
