J Mr. Editor; In your paper of the 7th inst., I ■- observed an extract from an article by Dr. Dixon, in a late number of the Scalpel, on oily substances, as preventatives of consumption, and pointing to oil as the sole curative agent in, and secret of the success of Cod liver oil in-tbe treatment of diseases of that class. Such theory may read very well; but, beyond that, it merely provokes the astonish ment of any person at all acquainted with Chemis try, Materia Medica, or Therapeutics. I will, however, commit this new doctrine to the tender care of its learned propagator, and proceed with his views and quotations from observations on the same subject, by Dr. Hooper, who states that: Os all persons between the ages of fifteen and twenty-two, more than one-fifth eat nq fat meat. Os persons at the age of for‘„,-.five, all, excepting less than one in fif'.y, habitually use fat meat. Os persons between the ages of fifteen and twen ty-two, who avoid fat meat, some few acquire an appetite for it, and live to a good old age, while the greater portion die of phtbysic before thirty four. Os persons dying-of phthvsic between the ages of twelve and forty-five, nine-tenths at least have never,(a sweeping a-sertion) used fat meat. Dr. Dixon now asserts, on his own responsibil ity, that most individuals who avoid fat meat, al so, for the most part, avoid butter, oily gravies, etc.,etc.; and that even they should freely use milk, eggs, and saccharme articles generally. They are so poor a substitute for fat tneat, that, sooner or later, the body is sure to show the defects of deficient calorification. Vegetarians, and likewise breeders of stock, will do well to inquire into this matter; and, indeed, so would all others, as, in my opinion, most per sons would prefer eating a moderate share of fat, meat, or even swallowing a few teaspoeofulls of some kind of oil daily, to dying off, or suffering from consumption. But, as Dr. Dixon’s doctrine is not accompanied by any practical proof, and is alto*gether at variance with the physiological laws of digestion, as at present, understood, he would confer a -great favor on the pubhc, and very espe cially on the undersigned, Hy giving the rationale of his oily regimen in an early number of the Soalpel, or some other respectable journal. J am, sir, respectfully yours, T. 11. D’A. m t [COEMINICATUD.J Shall the State Sell the TSiaJf Road i Mr. Editor: I would answer, most certainly, no, do not sell the road. Because the experience of this year, so far, shows that wo may rely upon the road for all time to come for a net annual income of three hundred thousand dollars, if the road is well managed. But the advocates for the sale of the road say, we have no security that the road ■will be so managed after Gov. Browu goes out -Of office; but it seems to me that after it has been ascertained what the road ean do, under the late financial embarrassment, we may expect any sort of a Governor to make it a matter of principle to make the road yield as much net income to the State as Governor Brown did, and if any should fail, let the legislature appoint a Board of Direc tors, selecting honest, practical men from the dif ferent political parties, to-serve for small fees, tor devise some other plan, to secure the faitofnl management of the road, and if the legislature cannot devise some plan for the management of the road, and itc income of three hundred thou sand dollars per annum, who would be willing to risk them with the fflanagiment of five millions of dollars? How did the legislature manage the' large amount received from the general govern ment ? Or whec did the legislature ever properly manage any large amount of the State funds ? Can we rely upon a body of men (one half of whom could never manage their own affairs pru dently,) to manage live millions of dollars ? We need not expect that ary private company would give more for the road than it is worth to the State; and ths annual, steady income from the road would always come in as it was needed by the State, and cocld be applied to common schools or otherwise, as it was received, without tempting the legislature to-enter into schemes of specula tion whereby, five million of dollars would lie -squandered, and do the State or people no good. I have always looked upon it ac a great folly in the boy that had the goose that laid the go Idee eggs, to kill her for the unlaid egg he could got out of her, and I should look upen the sale of the road in the same light. The road is now doing well, why not let well enough alone ? Some peo pie are so constituted, that they can never get a good horse, or other-piece of property, but what they are half crazy to-he trading, And can never rest tiH they have traded out; and it would look like folly not to be as well content with three hun dred thousand dollars, received from the earnings of the road, as with the same amount from another source, equally as precarious, or more so, for I contend that the incense from the investment of the money derived from the sale of the road, would be more precarious than that desired im mediately from the working of the road. A cer tainty—yes, a precarious certainty, if voc please, is better than a precarious uncertainty, or rather 1 might say, almost a certain loss of all the money derived from the sale of the road.

It clearly proves to my mind i that were Mr. Clay now alive, he would be found 1 manfully battling for the rights of the “industrious : and honest German,” the “versatile and philoso phic Frenchman,” “the open hearted and uncal- i culating Irishman,” by the side of his noble hearted and illustrious son Janies B. Clay. “ The honest, patient, and industrious German readily unites with our people, establishes himself upon some of our fat lands, fills his capacious barn, and enjoys in tranquility the abundant fruits which his diligence gathers around him, always ready to fly to the standard of his adopted country, or of its laws, when)called by the duties of patriotism. The gay, the versatile, the philosophic French man, accommodating himself cheerfully to all the vicissitudes of life, incorporates himself without difficulty in our society. Bat, of all foreigners, none amalgamate them selves so quickly with our people as the natives of the Emerald Isle. In some of the visions which have passed through my imagination. I have supposed that Ireland was originally part and parcel of this continent, and that by some , extra ordinary convulsion of nature, it was torn from America, and drifting across the ocean, it was , placed in the unfortunate vicinity of Great Britain. The same open-heartedness, the same generous hospitality, the same careless and uncalculating indifference about human life, characterise the in- . habitants of Ijdth countries. Kentucky has been sometimes called the Ireland of America. And I have no doulSvibut if the current of emigration prere revers#!, agid sent from America unon the shores of ISjffOpfl, Instead of bearing from'Europe j to America, every American emigrant to Ireland would there find, as every Irish emigrant here finds, a hearty welcome anil a happy home.” The above beautiful extract might prevent much surmising and conjecturing from our Know Noth ing opponents, and if this bo the case, you would oblige by publishing it, your correspondent, R. E. P,**** Greenville, Ga., Oct. 4, 1858. (communicated.) Constitutional Law, Mr. Editor: The following decision—now the late of the northern circuit of this State—l deem of sufficient importance to intetest your readers. Judge James Thomas decided, at Warrrenton, this week, that the act of the legislature, of Jan uary 12th, 1852, making it penal for a white man to live in a state of adultery or fornication with a woman of color, is void ; because the body of the act is different from the title, and therefore in conflict with the provision in Sec. 17, Aft. I. of the Constitution of the State: “ Nor Shall assy law or e»dinance pass containing any matter different from what is expressed in the title ■ thereof.” ' Now, the act in question is entitled, “An Act to ! cotil un additional Section to the Tenth Division of > the renal Code of the State.” The offences enu i merited in the tenth division are, among others, : polygamy)-bigamy, incest, adultery, ferhication, I lewdness, and keeping lewd houses. Ami it may • not be’quite obvious what difference there is be i tween the act, which treats only of adultery and > fornication by white men with women of color, and such a title. But as the decision, being in favor of'the defendasts, cannot be reversed, if wrong, by a higher tribunal; but must, whether right or wrong, remain the absolute law of, at least, that circuit, unless the legislature shall in ' terfere by another enactment, it should be made known to the people, in order that they may in. struct their representatives to take such steps as will insure the discouragement and punishment j. of the evi|, against which the act of 1852 was . directed. S. j. October 7th, 1858. | 15?* The Georgia Platform, published atCal ' houn, Ga., closes a long, and we may add, a very ( excellent article on political matters, with the sol s lowing complimentary reference.to Messrs. John | son, Cobb, and Gardner : “ If the service which an individual renders the party, constitutes him a leader, Herschel V. .Jobn ■ son is beyond doubt the foremost leader of the par ■ ty in Georgia, who has occupied office. And next I to him we would place Howell Cobb. But one , need not always occupy official position to give : direction to fee actionei not the principles of the 1 party. If any one man is entitled to tne appella ■ tion of leader of the Democratic party in Georgia, i in consequence of the service he has performed, ■ the labor he tuts done, the instruction he has given, Übe doctrine he has taught, and the ponderous ’Allows he has dealt upon all forms of opposition, - that man is .games Gardner, of the Augusta Con stitutionalist.” • The Election is Glynn. —The Brunswick Her ald of the fith inst. says: “On Monday last John L. Harris, Esq., was elected a member of the House of Representatives, to fill the vacancy oc casioned by the death of J. W. More, Esq.

Harrwitz, ot Prussia, and M. 'Paul Morphy, of the United States—is now go ing on in this city at the Case de la Regence, in the Rue St. Honore, the headquarters Gs the lovers of this scientific game. The match ic to be won by the gaiaer of the first saren games. M. Harrwitz gained the first two games; Mr. Merphy gained the three next, the last of which was played yester day afternoon and evening. In the third and fourth games, Mr. Morphy made some of the most brilliant and startling moves that ever had been seen in the Case de la Begenee, and so great was the enthusiasm that telegraphic dispatches were sent to the Rhine, to Mery, to the Duke of Bruns wick, and other great players, begging them to come and see the wonder of the world. Notwith standing we are in the midst of the watering sea son, when all the fashion is supposed at least to be ont of town, the Case de la Regence is the scene of a crowd, or rather a mob, of distinguished men, and even women of all nationalities and alt tongues. It is believed that Morphy will beat Harrwitz, though it is not by any means sore; and, in that case, he becomes the champion of the world, for no mao in Europe can beat Harrwitz. Harrwitz is twenty-seven years old, Morphy but twenty-two. Morphy plays much faster than Harrwitz, and, in fact, faster than any adversary he has yet met in Europe, and the boldness and originality of his moves strike the lookers-on with amazement and admiration -YTJGTJSTA, GA„ WEDNESDAY,#!TOBER 18. 1858. Lord Derby’s Race Horses. The Times complains‘that the Prime Minuter of England, after announcing his determination to quit the turf, and advertising his stud for sale, does not really intend to get rid of his race horses at all. Speaking of the auction sale of Loid Der by’s stud at Tattersalls, a few days ago, it says: “ A large ring was formed, containing within it many intending purchasers. We do not profess to understand these matters minutely, but it appears as if the seller had no reason to complain of the spirit of the bidders. Among the yearlings we see the prices offered-and refused were three hundred, two hundred and ninety, and four hundred and seventy pounds sterling. Os course, we do not know if these prices were adequate, but in the case of a nobleman really wishing to give up racing and get rid of bis entire stud one would have thoughf.them high enough not to be refused. " Two" thousand five hundred pounds were offer ed for Toxopholite ; but Toxopholite was bought in. Notone stallion was sold, although for one one thousand five hundred guineas were offered, and for another eight hundred. Out of the whole twenty-two lots twelve seem to have been sold ; one for twenty-two), one for forty, two for forty six, one for fifty, one for one hundred, one lor one hundred-aneffifty, one for two hundred and fifty, two for three hundred, and one for seven hundred pounds sterling. Now, we should be sor ry to compare the Earl of Derby with some of the worthies who figure on the turf, but we eOfrfess we cannot see the distinction between this transaction and those so justly reprobated by our correspond ent. Os course, a man may do what he wilf with his own, but to advertise a whole stud for sale, and then io put prices on the superior part of it so enormous that they cannot be reached even by the open competition of a largo attendance of purcha sers held under the most favorable circumstances, looks very much like using the superior animuls as a means of getting together a large assembly, and thus increasing the competition for the inferior ones.” owing communication on “ direct I '.fade,” from C.

Rutherford, chairman, Ac., was read before the Planters’ Convention, recently in session in Macon, and is published in the State Press, of the 7th instant: Consulate of the United States of America, 1 Manchester, August 17th, 1858. ) Unofficial. — My Dear Sir: A friend has fur nished me with the “ organization of the cotton power,” being, I presume, the outline of an organi zation of the planting interest for its. own protec tion. It is needless for me to say how entirely your aims coincide with my own on the vital im portance of direct trade to the planter. But my object is not to interchange views in common upon this interesting subject. My object is business action, and that without unnecessary delay. An ticipating the reaction which I know must sooner or later take place in regard to the present suici dal commercial policy of the South, I have suc ceeded in organising in advance the very means of co-operation tn Europe which you require. The bankers in London are most anxious to sec the cotton power a distinct and independent clement, and I speak from the highest authority when I inform you that your ideas and purposes are warmly supported in Europe by parties pos sessing tlie necessary capital and facilities to carry the thing through. The joint stock bank system in London is a complete success. I know- a gentleman who is one of the Direc tors ot the London and Westminister joint stock bank, who*entirely concurs in your views. Tlie vice chairman of another leading London bank, entertains the same opinion, an<t more than one bouse in Liverpool ape friends Os direct trade with the American planters. On tho Continent of Europe, ut Bremen, Hamburg, Antwerp, Havre and Amsterdam, we have friends. But the ques tion is uo longer to talk, but to act, I have there fore to say to yon, and you are authorised to con vey the information to the planters of your asso ciation, that anv agent having your confidence, whom you may appoint to go to either Charleston or Savannah, will be forthwith.furnished tho very best European credit from every port on the Con tinent of Europe, duly confirmed in London, to enable these agents to make cash advances upon your cotton. lam going over to London to-mor row, and from there to the Continent, to see our German friends. I shall be back here within ten days, and will again write you on the subject. The planters, i«they will but use their power— their cotton vomer— can make themselves quite in dependent of those who prey upon their industry. In selecting your agents it would be well to take men who know something of the import trade, as our friends in Europe would be disposed tq con sign in their turn goods direct to the South. Wishing you every success, and hoping you will enrol me as a member, in some form, ot your as sociation, either as an honorary member or for eign correspondent. Believe me sincerely yours, C. G. Baylor. ‘JF- ♦ XstT Refering, we suppose, to certain recent editorials of the Federal Union and Cassville Standard, the Georgia Platform, of Calhoun, in its issue of the 7th inst., says: • Complaint is made that old line Democrats are » thrust aside andwiew lights put in. We do not » see the force nr necessity of this complaint. We > believe that old line Democrats deserve promotion , and rewards j and we believe that the Democratic ■ party of Georgia has not been very slow to per form its duty.

Lump kin could have done the same. We cannot con -1 fess that the Democratic party of Georgia has been unmindful of its old line members, while it has not proscribed the recent converts when merit and talents were presented. t3T“Aga” the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore San, writing on the sth inst, says: “ While the government expresses no opinioo as to the authenticity of the Oojeley treaty, it will doubtless regard its ratification by Nicaragua as of greatest possible insult and injury to us, un less, indeed, the Cass-Yrissan treaty is also rati fied by the same petty State. The treaties are alike in that that the profits of transit companies are to be limited to fifteen per cent, per annum; that troops and inanitions of war shall be carried over the route free of charge ; and that the route shall be protected for these purposes and for the trade of all nations by the establishment of a free port at each end, This sort of protection is not regarded as in whole or part a “European protect orate” in that political sense which would be in compatible with our fixed national policy, and which Mr. Cass, in his recent letter to Gen. Lamar, pronounces to be what we “shall resist by all the means in our power.” I do not understand the administration to be abstractly opposed to the Ouseley treaty, since that it desires the Isthmian transits to be open to the trade of the world upon equal basis, but it will in sist upon the ratification of our treaty contempo raneous with that of the ratification of Mr. Ouse ley’s. _ The Water Ccee. —The following, which we find in the Vicksburg Sun, would indicate that 1 there is more virtue In water than many medical advisers are willing to admit: “The yellow fever patient who plunged into the , Mississippi a day or so ago, while is a delirious condition, is improving rapidly, so we learn, con trary to the expectations of his medical advisers, who bad no idea that be would ever recover from the effects of the plunge bath.” i Nsw Yosjc, Oct. s.—Owing to an accident to l the machinery of tbe steamer Moses Taylor, the fit.

( Terrible Conflagration l J—The Crystal I‘ulace tu Ashes. .Yesterdavaficruoonthe community was startled hy the antroSucement that the Crystal Palace had been destroyed by fire. It appears that about five o’clock lire was discovered in the Palace, in the im uiod,ale erttßOyW'he extiance on F,.. tv-second street, or around tlie door leading from the North nave. The alarm was immediately given, but so rapid ivas the progress of the flumes that those in file building hud but just time to escape before the dome tell in and the whole building was en veloped inflames. The fire seemed to spread with the velocity of a set piece of pyrotechnics. But few articles were saved. There were somo two hundred 'p. rsons in the Palace at the time of the ca’astrophe,- many of them children. The greatest excitement prevailed, and in the dense and suffocating smoke which pre ceded the bin-sting forth of the Haines, it is a mir ucle that so many should have made their way out in safety. Mr. Wilson, one of the exhibitors, says he had but time to secure a portion of bis watches and make his way to the staircase, when the smoke was so thick that he could hardly breathe. A young men who had charge of the jewelry of Mr. Halt, had a narrow escape, in delaying to secure a portion of the valuable property in bis charge. A gentleman who was in toe picture gallery says that he saw the smoke coming up through the floor of the gallery, and becoming alarmed; turned toward the place «f exit; in seventeen ruinates from the time that he discovered the smoke, ibe whole ed ifice was a complete ruin. The speedy destruction of the building afforded little room lor incident, and no opportunity to ob tain information. All were engaged in an effort t to escape, confusion reigned supreme, and conse » queutly all that any one can tell is just his own individual narrow escape. There were three thousand eight hundred and forty-four entries of goods to the fair, and the loss B must reach a large amount, exclusive of the build t ing. The building was erected in 1852, a year i after the great World’s fair in London. This en i terprisc gave birth to the famous hatting Obser : vatory, which so mysteriously disappeared some -two years ago in a fate similar to that which has i just overtaken its parent. : Statement of Kt-Ald. Daniel Dodge. —l was in . the building at the time it took fire. By my , watch the building commenced burning at fire ! minutes past five o'clock. In four minutes the t North-eastem nave gave way; people bad very , little time to escape. I merely bad time to turn . round when the whole thing was id flames. Its first - appearance seemed to emanate from the North - east wing. At this lime the Are raged tearfully, • and in nineteen minutes the West nave fell in, t and in tweniy-aix minutes the dome came down i with a terrible crash. t Everybody about the building said that the Are originated in the pattern department, which means that portion where the models of the palace is f kept; but to all who fully understand the matter, say the fire originated by an incendiary. Women and children were running in every direction, and i it is possible that some who were unacquainted I with the building might have become bewildered i and perished to the ruins; although, in thejudg ' ment of those who ought to know, none bare fallen a victiui to the fire. Nothing can exceed the vel ocity with which the fire went through the build ing ; before aoy person bad the least idea of its intensity, the greatest uanger waa observable. The palace became like an oven, and everything com bustible took fire at once. We have it from the best authority that no person was mortally injured. The engines that Were burned will be a Bore loss to the department. "The Horrors or the Slave Trade.”— The steamship Cahawba has arrived at New York with Havana dates to the 2«lh olt.

Is it not possible to put an end to this wholesale system of ruurder? askstbc Pennsylvania Inquirer. We answer that nothing is easier. Repeal all laws against the slave trade, legalise the traffic, as should be done, and then humane and good men will engage in it, openly and above board; com fortable aod ample accbtmnndadlions will be pro vided for the negroes, and we shall have no more talk of “ wholesale murder,” or “ the horrors of the slave trade.” This must be apparent to any one who is not willfully blind.

Mr. Lloyd, a highly respectable farmer of Wick lifl'e, arrived in this city last evening in an excited stale of mind. He sought out Marshal Gallagher and told him that his two daughters had eloped Monday night with two hired men, brothers, and named rispeotivelv Chauncey Lewis and Watson Lewin. Mr. Lloyd said he thought they were in this city. The marshal put on his seven-league boot* aud commenced walking rapidly round the city, lie found the enterprising parties at Inst at tho Franklin House, on Peart street. Watson Lewis had already married one of the sisters and retired for the night. Channcev Lewis was mak ing arrangements to marry the other sister when the marshal appeared and took him and his in tended to the police station. Locking- Chauncey Lewis up in the watch house, Mr. Lloyd took his daughter to the Commercial House and locked her up in a room. Mr.‘ Llyd, in addition to being an extensive and flourishing former, keeps a tavern in Wickliffe, which is very favorably known through this sec tion. It is located near the lake shore, and near where the ill-fated steamer Griffith was burned some years since. Mr. L. owns some four hun dred and fifty acres of land in Wickliffe, and is quite wealthy. His daughters are named Mary und Laura. Mary is about twenty years old and Laura about sixteen. They are splendid looking girls, and are fashionably and richly dressed. They are both well educated, having enjoyed su perior advantages in this respect. The Lewis brothers are uncouth, uneducated, and evergrown specimens of humanity, anu c*» neither read nor write. They hired out to Mr. Lloyd some six months ago. He paid Watson, the eldest one, thirteen dollars, and Chauncey ten dollars a month. Chauncey Lewis, the young man who didn’t get married und who passed the Dight in the watch-house, is a very sleepy and stupid appearing young man. We doubt if he knows enough to exercise the sagacity of a com mon Shanghai chicken and go under cover when it rains He was released this morning at the sug gestion of Mr. Lloyd, and requested to "scoot,' which he hastily did. He promised, with tears in his eyes, never to come within ten miles of Wick liffo again. The married brother, of course, can not be interfered with. The parties eloped at about eleven o’clock on Monday night, and were not missed until yester day morniug. The brothers hired a horse and buggy at Willoughby, and went to Mr. Lloyd’s c house, where the girts were awaiting them with their trunks all packed. The girls left the house j noiselessly and got into the buggy, aud the parties | moved slowly towards Cleveland. One of the ( brothers walked all the way here (üboul sixteen s miles) and the other rode and drove. Arriving here they stopped at the Commercial House. In t the evening a justice wus called In and Watson j and Marv were married. Chauncey and Laura concluded to postpoue being united until this morning, which conclusion fortunately enabled Mr. Lloyd to prevent the ceremony. The parties all moved from the Commercial to the Franklin, where they were found as above stated. This is the most remarkable o»se of elope went that we ever heard of. It utterly eclipses the linker and Dean case. What two handsome and culti vated girls, as the Misses Lloyd certainly were, could Hnd to admire in two such fellows as *'“« j Lewis brothers, is more than we eairunagme. Mr. Lloyd und hia wife are overwhelmed with grief by this inexplicable conduct of their daughters. From the Jiichmund Dispatch.

It 1 htt 'Our informant was in the dressing-room of Mot ' rissey when the prize fighter returned. He was smoking a segsr, and having his Dark to the door, ' did not notice, the entrance of the would-be r “champion.” The first intimatioo, therefore, which our friend received that he was standing in [lie presence of the distinguished hero, was the request on the part of one of the trainers to "put out tliatrsegar. What could liai'c prompted the singular request, our friend was at first unable to understand, for but a moment previous the author of that same request was engaged in the samo de lightful occupation. Looking unbind, however, he beheld Momssey sitting upon hia bed, when the problem was readily aolved. The lungs of that individual were too delicate to encounter the nox ious exhalations of the “ weed,” and so, of course, “out” went the segar. Morriasev sat for a few moments upon his couch, (evidently considerably fatigued from his long wulk, though Shepherd, who had accompanied him, appeared quite freab), when he submitted himself to a vigorous rubbing down. The crowd down stairs were now in the greatest state of exoileinent, aud gathered around the stairway in anxious expectation of the appear- , ance of the fighter. Presently their wishes were , gratified, and Morrissey came forth—not, we are , bound to say, with the air of a conqueror, but in a meek and modest manner. One gentleman was beard to exclaim, “ I think considerable of him, now; lie’s modest, and that’s something.” Mor- i rissey had much difficulty in making his way ; through, and was evidently greatly annoyed at the impertinent gaze of th« crowd. Finding that the , crowd followed him wherever he went, and that it was useless to attempt to get out of it, he re traced his step* back into the house and did not come out again until many of the people had left. The appearance of Morrissey is very much changed. Few would recognise him in the street. The evidence of hard work is plainly visible upon bis person, and the diminished size to whieh he has been reduced, very unfavorably strikes the observer. A number of gentlemen remarked ss be came out that be looked “ like an ordinary sized man,” and some could scarcely be made to think that the person they were gazing upon was the reoonmaoie Morrissey. Ills features and hands are browned by a substance which is used for hardening the flesh, and this alone very much changed his whole appearance. The luxuriant growth of whiskers which formerly adorned the face of the "champion” is now all gone, and even -‘the hair en his head,” is kept down close to bis poll. He wore a slouched hat and quite ordinary clothes, and looked for all the world like a backwoodsman from Grafton, or a hardy help to so#e farmer, tan ned by exposure to the sun and worn down by bard work. Though the outward appearance of Mor rissey illy comports with the idea our informant had previously formed of him, yet a closer inspec tion satisfied him of the great muscular develop ment of the man, and bis consequent poweiful strength. Hia movements were, however, exceed ingly slow and his gait awkward and miff— so stiff, indeed, as to attract tho attention of many disinterested spectators, who remarked that he must move much quicker on the day of the fight than he was then doing in order to win the battle. Morrissey looks the very embodiment of health, however, and is no doubt in proper trim for the encounter which is soon to take place. He leaves here for Canada on the 12th proximo. i A Good Move.—We clip the following item from the publiebed proceeding! of the City Council of Macon at (be regular meeting on the let instant: “ Elam Alexander’s petition for the exclusive privilege of boring an Artesian Well or \V ells upon such unoccupied ground or street* belonging to the citv, as may be suitable for the same, with tbe exclusive privilege of tbe streets and lanes for tne purpose of laying pipes, 4c., on such terms as may hereafter be agreed upon, was received, "hen Al derman Jones moved that it be retotredtoa spe cial committee.

The OanersviUe J&oprcee, of the Bth instant, in a leading editorial, zealously urges the building of ■ a railroad from Cartersville to Dnhlonega, via the ‘ Ktowah Works and Canton. Wo publish below 1 ihe greater portion of the si licic referred to: - The contemplated route for this road will hr .1- i- most oz,;lum!Veil' confined VJ the v-'ley f.l live e, Etowah river. 'J hia lovely valley lies now almost » buried iu obscurity, and comparatively few know - uught of its loveliness and resources. It contains t the mineral region proper of our Stale, while the climate and the purity of its water is unsurpassed. - It is, beyond all attention, one of (be healthiest • portions of the Union. The facilities of water , power are unrivalled; the fertility of its soil and t (he resources of timber and wood are unequalled. , in addition to this, its topography is no less re i markable, presenting a strikingly beautiful and 1 inviting scenery. The mineral wealth of this re gion is enormous, far beyond calculation, and if properly developed wilt contribute uotoid mil lions to the wealth of our State. Ores of iron, cop per and gold abound: silver, lead and plumbago are found, and tin, cobalt aud nickel no doubt will be. Iron ore. of the very best quality, and well adapted to the manufacture of steel, t* immense and inexhaustible. This delightful region, with all these vast resources, is proximate lo toe cotton region, and is allied to it, by the strongest ties of interest: now it follows, if these fads be true, that this is the proper mautifecturing region of the Mouth, and must inevitably, in the sequel, be dense ly Ailed with an enterprising population sod stud ded with towns and villages. The products of this valley, when properly developed, will be vast and various for transportation. To supply its numer ous wants, with such s population us will necessa rily All it, shipments of (foods, wares and merchan dise, immense in tonnage, will be required. Being proximate to the cotton region, her people win be largely u manufacturing people, baring superior natural advantages. In addition to this being unsurpassed in health,—the most favorable point for the life and health of man ; being also, almost sufroanded by the cotton growing region of the entire South, will be pre-emincnuy inviting to wealthy planters and retired merchants, as a summer home. It also and necessarily follows, that it will be the greatest and best feeder to the Westernaad Atlantic railroad, and should it be traversed by railroads, is des tined to contribute more freights, habitually to it, than all the other sections of that road besides. For proof of this, it is only necessary to look at the development of a few miles only, of Ail valley, . from the Ktowah depot to Maj. Cooper’s Works. Maj. Cooper, with an energy tost knows no slum ber, lias demonstrated and made palpable the vast wealth thst lies buried, in our hills and mountains aud notwithstanding the astonishing results that hare followed his industry, still he la only a pioneer in this vast field of enterprise. The valley extends fully seventy-five miles, aud at every point, similar results will accrue under the guidance of enterprising minds. .Major Cooper, as an individual, and seemingly isolated, has con tributed bis thousands to swell the prosperity of our State. He has brought to light and made available wbat was before useless, and annually gives more freights to the Western snd Atlantic railroad, than any town on the line. If he, there fore, unaided, and solely by the force of an uncon querable energy, has done so much to developo our resources, what would not a railroad accom plish, traversing the verv heart of this region ? Major Cooper has pot the ball in motion, audit the citizens of this valley will only exercise a tithe of his energy and far-sightedness, the results will bo inevitable. Tbe people of Cherokee county should be alive to die vast tmportence of such an enterprise, which promises them so grand a future. If this road is built we do not hesitate to say, thst she will take the foremost rank with her sister counties in wealth nod Intel lectoal greatness. If the resources of this region are so varied and commanding, two propositions necessarily follow; First, tbe people of this val ley from Cartersville to bahlonega, should build 1, railroad forthwith. It can be dtme-qnd will pay enormously : Ist, m dividend ; 2nd, in doubtin'/ and treUiag the value of their property; slid last, but not leaat, in raising the moral tone, exalting the grade and intellectual power of her people. Second. The State ofGeorgia,being interested to the greatest extent, at aU point*, in the success of such an entepnse, which if completed will throw open the widest door to the development of our vaet re sources, should lend a helping hand and assist in its construction. And this, she will most assured ly do, if her legislalture is governed by wise states- men.
