The hisftry of Southern elections have blackened the record with nJhterous instances, and marked their track with the bfcod of the innocent.

He then tooj< up John Bell and, as the.saying is among the demo crats, demolished him and his party, lie said there wa% no chance for him, and if he v,*ere elected, he could not possibly carry on the government, because he would have but otw friend in the Senate, and but few in the House.

This is one of the most iiiiji iii enterprises now before the people of Thomas and contiguous eoun 1u ~. i tie Eg. tcttiti.; a! iii t ‘ ,i’ -erci ti isiu res sos the people in its vicinity louuly demand the speedy completion of such a mad. While the people of the S'uuuefii section ri (leorgta have ouietly witness, l the appropriation ot their jiortion of the money raised by their taxes, for the purpose of construct ing and equipping a Railroad from Atlanta to Chat tanooga. and have witnessed its great advantages to the people of Northern Georgia, may they not, with much propriety, expect that the State will not withhold her aid in carrying forward’ the a! w con templated road. But if the State coolly folds her ms.and looks on without any further < our interests in this section, we must endure it and determine in our own. strength to have the road. How shall this be done? Just in the way, I think, 1 the State has allowed us to do it—that is, by taxing I yes us, to the amount of 5150.000, allowing the amount each individual shall pay to be considered s stock—that is, a man paying twenty dollars will# be entitled to one fifth of a share, which he may hold or sell to those who buy railroad stock. Thus it will not bent a y thrown aftvay, but applied to the general good, and he will also of the sub jects benefit ted. This road will benefit the poor, consequtly. You J me how? I answer, by reducing vastly the price of salt, irion, flour, bacon, eotfee, sugar, and all heavy Articles brought to our market. The rich ; have teams and haul their cotton to market, and ng back, for their oftn use.*h®ir iron, flour, cof fee, S.C., in their own wagons. The poor have their carts and must sell and buy near home, and thus be compelled to pay the price of %ei£ht on what they | purchase. For instance, a sack of salt sells at Tho i m&sviite :® $3.00; flour. S6IOO per hundred; j iron, $7 00,per hundred; coffee, $1(3.00 per hun dred, &c. Now at Savannah tiiese articles are sold, at this time, at about tin# follow if; g rates: o Sacjj of Salt by retail $1 00 Flour, per hundred * 4 50 Iron, per hundied 4 50 Coffee, per hundred 14 00 0* Amount ® $23 00 . At ‘fltomasville: * Sack of Salt.ft $3 00 Flour, per Iron, per hundred... 7 00 Coilee, M 0 O • 0 Amount ?. * . ft...... „$31 # 00 B3’ the above estimate, it. is evident that in the purchase of the above items to o tlie same amount there will be a saving of cigb.t dollars; because it does not admit of argiunent that these articled will be just as cheap at Thoftiasville as if nut cheaper. How is this? Because flour, bacon, &c., can be brought from Macon to this place, afas little cost as it can be taken to Savannah. Ofe 11 ore suggestion. If the vote of tlfr people ! in this county should deeid?- i favnft of raxing t**e citizens to tho amount specified, it would give .assu rance to the citizens of Albany and Monticello, that the road would be built, and till projects for other roads would be abandoned. Under tliii view of the subject Iho mind of the public at those places would be concentrated individual enterprise. Tlte people of this county m otild all be benefite and alike in many •aspects, and, therefore, re should be a united voice in favor of Taxation. It is to be hoped 4 hat our citizens will cabuly consider this, .object as one of great utility, and vote according iy. *. .* .

She reports that the British war steamer Icarus, with a transport and troops under command of Alvarez, ! proceeded to Rio Negro, where Walker’s army were encamped. The boats of the Icarus proceeded up the river, and captured Walker with seventy of his men, till of whom were taken to Ttuxillo and de livered to the authorities of Honduras. Walker’s men were very destitute, and many of them being sick, were permitted to return to'tlic United States, on the condition of never engaging again in an expedition against Central America.
