We cull the special attention of our’ readers to the address to the citizens of Barbour, Alabama, and adjoining comi ties of Geoigiu. There are reasons set forth, plain, simple and in such a manner as all can see ami understand It ap pear’ to U’ that his is a point where no argument is necessary—that every man lias long since bceo > e sadly conviu. cd ot the great disadvantages which the whole country has been laboring under. Situ ated as we are, we are left in a depend ent situation. No commerce, no market, i,o home trade, and wh it money we have finds its w.iv off to siippori other section', and to keep up oilier towns. Let eveiy farmer read and ponder well the portion of the address which is directed to him. This | roje. t does not secure t > you only a market for your cotton, but it will give an out let for your meat, corn, fodder, poultry, grain, potatoes and every tiling which can be raised on your plantations. If you cannot get a marketable price at home, then you will be independent, f r in a few hours you can lay it down in any market within the limits*of Georgia. To those who fear that the stock will not pay, let them pause no longer ; for by toe action of the Board, there is seem - ed to you 8 per cent. Here you get one per cent more than you can get lawfully by loaning out. your money. Front the first day that a car ever rolled upon the South Western Railroad the divide) and has never been less than 8 per cent. By referring to H. R. Unyler’s report of August 14th, you will find the capital stock —the indebtedness of the Company set forth at length. If the present antic ipated extensions are carried out by the first of November, 1857, the Road will be 147 miles long, with a capital and debt ol $2,234,000 ; the nett revenue of the Company will be $275,050 per an-inni, which will pay 8 j'-r cent and all iiita-T ----est, and leave an animal surplus of over $1)0,000. I luis you see that stock in this Koad will be worth a premium the first day the cars are run through, and it is universally admitted that it will pay more.
