tied under the peculiar circumstances to

4lb. Yuur corrospoQdent is mistaken
as to tho place of my birth—it was Con

sviiat has this to do with tjie subject?
• I have never denied, or been ashamed
of the fi'a eof my biith. Ifc was an oi
-fiurrence over which I had no control,
and for which I claim no credit and feei
ne responsibility. But lam responsible
for the fact that, from choice, I have
been now more than forty years a citi,
jsen of Georgia, an‘d that duiing that
,period l have tried to reciprocate tho
genarous confidence of her people by
devoting my best.energies to her wel.

I do not claim exemption from error.
I claim nothing but an earnest desire, in
common with all the good people of
Georgia to aid iu her redemption from

Railroad Construction and Ma
terial Progress.
The people of Araericus and Newnan
and intermediate points are stirred about
bui'ding a road 110 miles long, from
one point to the other—through Merri
wether, Talbot and other counties.—
This is by no means an unimportant step
on the railroad chess hoard, when it is
considered that Newnan is on the line
from the Gulf'to Atlanta; and from the
Atlantic coast-via Macon and Griffin to
North Alabama, and the great granaries
of the North-west.
The proposed line would seem to be
an extension of the North Alabama
roads to Southwest Georgia, and her
operating and projected roads direct.
The people are also excited about
building a railroad from LaGrange.
through the counties hf Heard/Carroll,
Harralson and Polk toiEome.
■Also from Atlanta towards Decatur,
Alabama, through the counties of Cobb,
Paulding, and Polk in this State.
And tbe extension of the Polk Slate
Quarry railroad West, to intersect with
the Selina, Rome and Dalton road.
The work .ueder f Col. Hulburt, in
change of the Brunswick and Albany,
Vicksburg railroad, seems to move for
ward like magic. It is expected that
the whole line West to Eufaula will soon
be, if not already under contract, and
that a part of the next crop wiil he car.
ried from Albany over this line.
Col. Crews is pressing the grading-of
.the Bainbridgc, Cuthbeit and Colum
bus road, and will soon have the first
dwonty miles.ready for the superstruc
ture.
Wo allude to these among the scores
of railroad enterprises of the.yoar 1870,
and ask, for the purpose of attempting
to answer the question, wb* does it all
pot tend ? Good, or ill, to our country
and people ?
This unparallelled spirit of building
railroads seems to be general over the
South, and .that a large amount of both
•capitdl 'and credit is being expended
and used in their construction and equip
ment, no one for a moment can doubt.
Aye, we go a step farther, and say, that
u vast amount of Northern capital and
Southern credit, are employed iu this
business, and at what scem3 r to be a
reckless rate. We all know that .the
Southern people are not building these
numerous.roads with their own money,
lit matters not whether the funds are
drawn upon company bonds with or
without the State endorsement, or
whether the people of other sections or
.countries, (and it is all-one to us) are to
be stockholders and owners of these
roads, the proposition is generally true
that people outside the S.atc* furnish the
larger poi tion of the money.
We of the South, with resources of
-the greatest wealth on .earth, are to day
too poor to build Taflrends, to any con
siderable .extent.
Railroad
It may also be asserted, unless
ry is nil diction .and arithmetic a lie, that
Ahis same wealth, whether in the hand
of a New York banker or Boston man
ufacturer, or wbat not, has been, iu great
part drawn directly or indirectly from
the products of this oppressed and im
poverished South. They were the basis
of national wealth and power, and to
an-extent are so to day. .Why it was,
with factß undisputed, and figures that
demonstrated the general proposition that
we furnished three fourths of the na
tion’s exports by our system of slave
labor, and apparently upheld credit and
commerce on both sides the Atlantic,
why it was .that a current of political
revolution should have sot in, and a
wave of fanaticism beea wpheaved,
which no phylosophy or reason, or he
roism cohid withstand, and which di
rectly threatened the destruction of the
whole structure of Southern institutions
with their vast results, noneof us could
see. Our wisest and best men seem
never yet to base comprehended the
vast politico fanatic problem. We look
back upon tlio vast wreck, and tbe au
thors and victims alike are unable to
give a philosophic reason which clears
all the clouds from it. We know it is
dono—we hate its perpetrators; and
while we bow to the unalterable decree,
and struggle to recover from the effects
of general calamity, the shadows of
mystery still hang around the whole
drama of assault and aggression, of re
sistence and revolution, of subjugation
and submission, destruction and recu
peration.
We are witnessing this day an un.
bannered and uusabered revolution,
equally mysterious, at least to the
writer, and we trust far more promising
ingesults. The vast wealth garnered
from this southern clime, by those who,
while hating and despising their sources
piled store upon store, and revenue up
on revenue, is now under the wild ma
nia for speculation and investment, flow;
ing back upon us; The cream of the
South, that has so long flown in rich
profusion on strangers and enemies,
and fattened them to surfeiting, has
reached the hight of its trade wave, and
begins to flow back upon our dessolate
and wasted land.
Why this is so, who can tell ? It is a
field in which we do not now choose to
uneable the imagination. We have to
do more with ways and means, and
with result.
Who will say there is a railroad ope
rating- in our whole country, that is not
a material benefit both to the region in
which- it lies, and to the whole country ?
Aye, who will stultify himself by believ
ing there is one of the many, that are pro
jected or proposed, that will fail of these
grand objects ? They are tbe subsbti
a ice of things to hope for, and the
beacon of promise to tbe million. They
carry the torch light of intelligence and
improvement t> the masses iu ever}’
dark nook and coiner of the continent.
Stimulate production, ihc only true ba
sis of wealth and power ; bring millions
of otherwise waste and useless pro
meroe, from the great centers lo.the in
terior like the blood of life from heart
to extremities, and aFo as essential to
the prosperity of this loved country in
which we live, as the veins and arteries
are to our animal economy. We hear
talk of rival lines of railroad. Title
may be true in a limited sense. But in
any general and comprehensive sense,
we discard tbe word rival when applied
to these ..great works "of improvement.
They feed each other every where, and
the more we build and the oftener they
cross each other the more food they net
and the fatter and more powerful they
will grow. If there are ten merchants
with stores in a town doing well, build
a hundred more stores and bring a bun
dred-more merchants, -and it will double
and thribble the business of the ten
there at first, and all do well. It is the
history of all our growing towns and
cities, and the same is true of railroads.
Let us have them, the more we have
and the more frequently the iron horse
dashes over them the better for roads
and tbe people. Let us shout welcome
to every dollar of capital, come whence
it may, to this great end, through
which our wealth and power are to be
re-established. F.
A Social Equality Verdict. —ln
New Orleans “the first verdict- onder
the social equality law” has been the
source of much amusement. Thejury,
m the first place, was mixed to a re
markable degree, and contained Afri.
cans, Creoles, Germans, an Irishman, of
course, Spaniards, a Frenchman, and na
tive Americans. This was a jury de
medietato linyucc with a| vengeance.—
The strongest argument made against
the principle of the law under which
the case was tried, was delivered by a
full-blooded black, who intelligently'
enough .remarked, “Now, gentlemen,
this law, if it is a law, is all nonsense
I am for letting every man chose his
own company, and for keeping out of
his house and company any person he
don’t care to ’soeiate with. S’pose,
now, I give a ball, and invito my colored
lady friends, I don’t want any white
men to come there and take tny colored
ladies away, and I don’t intend to ’trude
in the gatherings of white people. It’s
not genteel, according to my notions, to
go anywhar you ain’t wanted and invi
ted.” The Radicals on the jury found
it in vain to plead human rights against
this logic. Argument, however, was
impossible. To increase the fun, the
Celtic juror declared that he had made
up his mind, and would toll it when the
other eleven hail agreed. A German
found a solution fur the difficulty.-
“Gentlemen,” said lie, “I hear you all.
Odo says we must go on the law, anoth
er says on the evidence, and another on
the justice. Now, if the lawyers would
not bother us so, and let us know where
was the law, the evidence or the justice,
we might find the verdict; but, under
the circumstances the only verdict we
can find is that “we can’t agree.” And
this was their verdict.
Red-Cloud Makes an Unfortunate
Revelation. —The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore Gazette,
speaking of Red Cloud’s recent official
interview with the President and Cabi
net at Washington, says :
The reasons assigned by this honest
and straight forward old. Chieftain, why
his “children” should be guaranteed
forever in their present landed posses
sions, show plainly enough that he is
neither a Machiavelli nor a Butler in
statecraft, however eloquent ho may be
as an orator. He let slip a fact that of
itself is quite sufficient to upset any .ti
titte the Government could give if rati
fied by a thousand guarantee treaties.—
He said there were two “mounds, ’or
“hills,” or “mountains,” (differently
translated (in his territori s (one of them
called the “Big Horn Mountain”), in
which there was abundance of silver and
other precious metals, and his tribe be.
ing poor and unarmed, and utterly at
the mercy of the whites, he wanted his
“Great Father” to give orders that his
red children should remain in quiet and
permanent occupancy of these mines for
their future support! Poor old man!
He had scarcely uttered the words when
the telegraph was at work, and in less
than thirty six hours there were no less
than five rival Yankee “companies” on
the spot here ready to “explore” and
“prospect?’ Red Cloud has had no rest
from that hour to the present. He has
besides been “interviewed” by eveuy
“enterprising” member of either branch
of Congress! A happy deliverance to
him. Who wonders at his further de
tention, and of the endeavors to get him
North, instead of his coveted “straight
line home.”
Immense Immigration.— New York, June
13.—The report of the Superintendent
at Castle Garden shows that last week
the number of from Liver
pool was 4863, from North Germany
-3151, from Glasgow and London 1908,
and in sailing vessels 1900; total 11,822.
Out of this number over 8000 have gone
West or into the interior. During the
year ending May 31st, over 316,000 im
migrant* arrived at Castle Garden, of
whom more than one twentieth were
Scandinavian. These latter, two thirds
of whom havßHgmie West, brought with
them nearly $500,000. There has been
a gain to the population of this city
from the intlux of foreigners during the
last twelve months of over 60,000. Out
of 50,000 immigrants who arrived last
month, New York got 14,000; Illinois,
10,000; Pensylvenia, nearly 6000; "W is*
cousin, 3000; Ohio, 2000 ; California,
6000; New Jersey, 1500; New Eng
ltmd States, 3000 ; the Southern States,
1700, and others went West.
The Nashville Republican Ban
ner of the sth declares the crop prospect
in Tennessee unprecedented, adding :
With a continuance of such favorable
weather the finest corn and wheat yield
ever known here may be reasonably cal
culated upon. The stand of cotton is
equally promising, it is estimated the
prospect is good for a yield this year of
over three millions of bales of cotton in
the c >tton belt. An unusual amount of
this will be raised this year in Tennes
see, the planters have generally also re
serve! enough gn und for corn to find
them independent of the foreign market
for bread and meat. In one county, not
twenty miles from the State capital, ten
thousand bales are annually raised, and
the crop .will probably exceed this esti
mate th#s season. The vegetable crop
is also large, and, for*a marvel, the fruit
prospect is. the best in Tennessee for
1870 than has been experienced for many
years.

“All Along the Line.” —Under this
heading - the Baiubridge Sun gives its
readers a lengthy and comprehensive
article upon the general Railroad inter
est of that city and section ; and winds
up with the following very encouraging
statements in regard to the progress
and prospects of the Buinbridge, Outh
bert & Columbus Railroad :
The work is rapidly progressing.—
The grading is within a few miles of
Colquit, and the cross-ties are ready lor
the iron President Bruton is in, or re
turning from,-New York, where he has
been to purchase the material for the
road, and he has been eminently suc
ccfsf'ul. The iron has been purchased,
and if the stockholders will now do their
duty, the road *vill be pushed to Co
lumbus, its destination, forthwith.—
When*the first 20 miles are completed,
the State aid of $12,000 per mile will
be available. Columbus will extend her
aid, and the counties and towns ‘all
along the line’ will not be slow in con
tributing to the enterprise which will
be a blessing to the State. Now then,
let us, with a long pull, a strong pull,
and a patriotic pull—all pull together
and finish the work.
W iiat the Florida Legislature Did.
—The following summary of what the
Florida Legislature did and did uot we
copy from the Floridian:
1. It passed u Funding Bill.
2. It passed a Fee Hill reducing the
fees of officers to what they were in iB6O,
by which it is supposed a large amount
will be saved ou the Tit-usury.
3. It passed an act providing for the
election of a Lieutenant Governor in No
vember. This will squelch the Govern
or’s unlawful attempt to select his own
successor.
There were other acts passed, but
noneofsuch general interest us the above.
What it did not do.
L It did not give the Governor the
chance to manipulate the State bonds in
tho matter of funding the State debt,
whereat his Excellency is much wroth.
-• If did not pass the Agricultural
College Scrip bill, to the great disgruo
tlement of his Excellency, who is thus
cruelly deprived of feathering iiis al
ready well stuffed nest with the pickings
thereof.
3. It did not recast the revenue law,
so as to give the Executive a magnificent
income to meet his fondness for magnifi
cent expenditure.
In short, it did not do divers and sun
dry things dear to the heart of our Chief
Magistrate, in consequence whereof, as a
Reyu blican Senator remarked, “his Ex
cellency looks twenty years older.” The
result of the session is the “beginning
and the end” of Executive corruption,
and that lieed is waking up to the fact.
So mote it be.
The Korn an ian Massacre Hoax.— lt
is understood that this disgusting hoax
was manufactured in New York city.
The Tribune says :
“Its publication was an additional in
stance of the recklessness with which
startling statements are made by irres
ponsible associations, which, unable to
buy tho news, find a ready resource in
inventing it. It also illustrates the
readiness with which men who are care
ful to accept only the most positive evi
dence of their fellows consent to be de
ceived by the most improbable stories
coming to them in newspapers. The
statement as published was probably
elaborated from a brief paragraph
which appeared last week in a Hebrew
paper published in this city, which re
ported a few persons wounded in a re
cent outbreak in Roumama.
An-importaut decision, affectirg
warehousemen was rendered in the
Superior Court at Columbus, Ga., the
other day by Judge Johnson. C. C.
Hudson sued Gray, Bedell & Hughes,
warehousemen, to recover money for
certain cotton stored by C. H. Dudley,
who immediately after the storage of
the cotton aforesaid,traded the receipts
to a third party and then went on to
borrow money arid buy bagging and
rope without giving his factor notice
of tho transfer of the cotton receipts,
nor was any notice given them by the
purchaser ot said receipt. The Court
held that tire defendants, the warehouse'
men, wereeutitled to retain all the funds
arising from tho sale of cotton, to pay
all balances due them, notwithstanding
The Republicans Feel the Blow.
We copy the following article, under
the above head, ' from the New York
Sun, a well known Radical newspa
per :
“The recent elections would seem to
indicate a turn in the drift of the politi
cal tide. The defeat of so worthy and
personally acceptable a candidate as
Gov. Jewell in Connecticut, last April,
was doubtless due to the unpopularity
of Geri. Grant’s administration, and es
pecially to its anti-American,-cowardly,
and shameful attitude on the Cuban
question. Tbe overwhelming Demo
cratic majority in this State at the Ju
dicial election -was caused in a great
measure by the disarrangement and de
moralization diffused through '/ ne ran p s
of the Republican payty by"the absence
of anyjnsoin.ig idea in the conduct of
our Hairs and by the unwise lederal
appointments made from this State and
city. The Toss of Oregon is also a se
vere blow to the administration. Tile
seat of Mr. Williams, the present Re
publican Senator, and one of the fore
most men of tlfc slope, was at
stake, his term expiring in
March next. Great exertions were
therefore put forth by the administra
tion to carry tbe Legislature; but the
Democrats having -secured both bran
ches, a member of that party will suc
ceed Mr. Williams
“fie most signal and significant of
these defeats is the election of -Emery,
as Mayor of Washington, by more
than 8,000 majority over Bowen, the
regular Republican candidate, and the
emcfidential friend of the President.— ,
Now that this catastrophe has hap
pened to the administration, of course
its champions declare that Gen. Grant
took no interest in the matter and that
the failure to achieve the triumph of
his favorite is not a striking proof of his
weakness at the Federal capital. The
people do not believe this; and at all
events, every shrewd politicician will as.
sert that if the President did nert use
every effort in his power to elect Bowen
lie ought to have done so. and that bis
delinquency only affords another proof
of his incapacity to lead a great party in
a trying crisis.
“In any view of the result, the stun
ning overthrow of Bowen, under the
very eve ot the White House, in the
presence of a Republican Congress, and
in a city swarming with the beneficiaries
of the President, must be accepted as
an indication that either his days or
tiiose of Ins party are drawing to a
close,”
A New York dispatch of the
Ifitli, says • The excitement in our mar
kets for ffnur and wheat yesterday, was
something remarkable. The sales of
wheat considerably exceeded 300,000
bushels. The French were targe buy
ers, and their presenes iu the market led
to an active speculation.
A further large advance is not im
probable. Great Britain, as appears by
late circulars, is not getting any foreign
wheat except from the United States. —
The demand at this market for the con
tinent lias interrupted her supplies, and
eho will soon feel the want of them, but
ttie molt in p a t int act is the falling oft
of the receipts at the lake ports, which,
according to tbe statistics, weie, for the
week ending June 11th, 9,200 bushels
of wheat and 2,600 barrels of tlour, or
reducing the flour to wheat, equal to
80\£00 bushels less than for the corres
podding week last year. This in cun'
neetion with an increased demand, can
hardly be over estimated.

“BAD blood:”
“The Life is the Blood.”
17'ROM it we derive oflr strength, beauty, and
i menial capabilities. It is the centre of our
being, around which revolves all that makes exist
ence happy. When this source is corrupted, the
painful effects are visible in many shapes, promi
nent among which is
SCROFULA.
This a taint or infection of the human organism,
and probably no one is wholly free from it. It ex
hibits itself in various shapes—as Ulcers and Sores,
Decayed Bones, Diseased Se*fp, Sore Eyes, Weak
and Diseased Joints. St.S itus’. Dauce, Fowl Dis

Affections, Nervocs Disorders, Barreness, Disor
ders of the Womb, Dropsy, Syphilitic Affections,
Liver Complaint, Sal; Rheum, Dyspepsia, Neural
gia, Loss of Manhood, and General Debility.
It has been the custom to treat these diseases
with Mercury and other Mineral substances, which,
though sometimes producing a cure, often prove
injurious and eutails misery in after life. The long
known injurious properties of these so-called alter
atives and purifyers has led the philanthropical
man of science to explore the arena of Dature, the
'esultof which has been the discovery of vegeta
ble products which possess the power of eradica
ting these Taints from the Blood.
