Tho leaso of 1.1 to Macon & Western Railroad, l»y the Central Railroad Company, and with it, thus acquiring the interest of the former Corporation in the Savannah, Griffin k North Ala ’ urn a road; together with the refusal, (... the part of tho Mayor and Alder xr.u.-i of the city of Savannah, to sub set bo to the Savannah k Atlanta ; and, afford strong evidences of the :. icily and masterly activity of \Y m. : T . Wadley, President of the Central. >V Jen then the Griffin route to Dcca- 4 nr, shall have been completed, now rocess of construction, thus form direct communication with Savan by anew and shorter route than the "Western & Atlantic Itailroad, as is said, by fifty miles, the effects of this sagacious move on tho part of Mr. Wadley, will not only be seen, but so ricnsly felt by more interests than ono. The large amount of travel and freight which now comes from tho West over the State Road, will bo, to a large extent, diminished, and go down this new line, through Macon to Savannah. Tho State Road will lose, the city of Atlanta suffer, and tho Georgia Railroad, and city of Augusta bo in tho same category. Tlicso facts are patent npon the faeo of the ar r in,‘eraents already mado by Mr. Wadley, and it behooves all the parties in interest to bo up aud doing. Unless some counteracting or coun ter-balancing project shall be adopted, Wadley will have his way to the inju ry of all these other interests. We see that a writor in tho Savannah Re ■uUican, signing himself G. Bi L., and well known to bo active and far-seeing, dares that “three things of essential lportance in considering the Griffin •onto are, first—That it is fifty miles -orter (to Savannah,) than the one 7 way of Atlanta. Second —That it will bring all the business directly to Savannah, excluding tho Georgia Rail road from an i. . .Terence. Third— That all, or nearly all of it wall be new business which goes off in other direc tions, under existing arrangements.” While, in another letter, published by him, and signed L. R. Brower & Son, from Griffin, the direct announce ment is made that Atlanta may not ‘ continue to be the great distributing point for the West, and that, too, by reason of tho very continuations and connections of roads now under tho control of the enterprising Directors and President of tho Central Railroad. The interests of the lessees of tho State Road, and of the road itself, the interests of the city of Atlanta, as also those of the Georgia Railroad, and the city of Augusta, are thus, to a greater or less extent, brought in dan ger. The people of Atlanta seem to be alive to the necessity of immediate action, and we doubt not, but that the Presidents of the State and Geor gia Roads, will bo equally vigilant.— In the mean time, we bid a hearty speed to all efforts which may benefit *he State and hor people. Ono thing, however, wo think may bo sot down as true, that fro in the day that Atlanta ceases to boa great centre of distribu tion, from that day will her prosperity begiu to wane. Let her people look to it. Southern Review. The last issue of this able and pop ular Review, only serves to increase the admiration in which it is so de servedly held by the reading public.— The articles, “Reviewers Reviewed,” “TWhedon on the Will,” and “Bowaro of the Tropics,” are especially note worthy, and fully entitlo tho author to the just consideration in which he is held on both sides of the Atlantic.— We are especially desirous that this work should receive a largo and liber al support, not only because of tho great truths which the author so ablj’ presents, and the ability with which he handles the abstruse subjects of re ligious and political controversy, but that in him is presented ono of tho finest writers, and one of tho boldest and most original thinkers of this cen ' lury. Truth shines the brighter and more lovely when sustained by hits pen, and woe to the man who falls un der the trenchant blade of his wither ing sarcasm. Tho Southern Review is edited by Dr. A. T. Bledsoe of Bal timore, and is also published in Lon don; its great merits attract tl.o atten tion of the most learned on both sides of the Atlantic, and we take pleasure in stating that a perusal of the last number will more than satisfy its read ers of the justico of the high estima tion in which its eminent author is held in England and America. We commend the work to our readers, and, for their own sukes, advise them to take it. Tt has hitherto been published, at Baltimore, but will henceforth, Lo printed at St Louis. A cotemporary gives tho following notice of the dis tinguished author: Dp. BledsOe. —The Nashville Ban ner, of May 10, Says: Among tho dis tingffisliM visitors attending tho Methodist Convocations low being held in this city, wo notice die arrival at tho Maqwell House of A. T. Blcd soo, L. L. D., of Baltimore. Dr. Bled soe, by long service in tho chair of Mathematics in the Universities of Mississippi and Virginia, and publica tions on the most recondite metaphys ical subjects, has made for himself a reputation in tho world of thought second to that of no American. Mr. Manscl, the great English philosopher and disciple of Sir Wm. Hamilton, and Lord Brougham, unite in according to Dr. Bledsoe tho foremost place among American thinkers. By the advice of Mr. Mansel the Doctor’s pro found work, “A Theodicy,” was repub lished in England. Dr. Bledsoe held a high position in the War Depart ment under tho Confederate Govern ment, and was tho trusted friend of Jefferson Davis. Ho is at present en gaged in editing tho The Southern Quarterly Review, published at Balti more. Editorial Miscellany. Hon. Henry S. Fitch, of Savannah, died in Des Moines, lowa, on Thurs day. Ho was at one time United States District Attorney for Georgia, and a very brilliant man. A man named South worth, living in East Tennessee, has just ejected from his stomach a frog which has been liv ing there 15 years. The Southern Presbyterian Assem bly, at Huntsville, adjourned on the 25th. Anew Presbytery was organiz ed in Brazil, South America. The As sembly refused to recognizo the Bap tism of the Campbellite Church. A coal mine in Pensylvania took fire) enclosing in its caverns a party of the minors. After great exertion the whole of the unfortunate men were taken out, 38 in number, 18 of whom wero dead. Tho offico of tho Southern Express, in Atlanta, was entered last Thursday night, and a large amount of money stolen. Tho Central Railroad has leased tho Macon and Western Railroad for nine ty-nine years. The lease took effect tho first of June, and carried with it the interest of tho Macon and Western Road in the Savannah, Griffin k North Alabama Road. The High Joint Commission have agreed upon the treaty in relation to the Alabama Claims, and the same has been signed by Grant. It now only awaits the signature of Queen Victoria to becomo an accomplished fact. The Savannah City Council has re fused to subscribe to the building of the Savannah & Atlanta Railroad. The value of property in Atlanta, ac cording to tho city assessment is $12,- 531,647. Holsenbake and Loyd wero found guilty of tho murder of Col. Fish, and sentenced to be hung on tho 14th of July. A motion for anew trial was over-ruled. The case goes up to the Supreme Court. A German in Burke county read somewhere, a few years ago, that mon ey doubled itself by compound interest «every eleven years, if it was carefully put away and left untouched. So the guileless old fellow dug a hole in his collar, and there buried S4OO packed in a tea kottle. That was olovon years ago last Wednesday; on that day he roso at 4 o’clock in the morning, and resurrected his cash, confidently expect ing to find SBOO in the kettle. Now he says, “Dom aritmetics ish all a lie.” Allspice tea, made of whole grains o allspice, is said to be a sovereign reme dy for croup; it cuts the phlegm al most instantly, and induces free breath ing. Bishop Clarke, of the Northern Meth odist Church, is dead. There is a great deal of sickness this season in South-Western Georgia. Cot?: n Factory Meeting. Carteksvillk, Ga„ May 27, 1671. Pursuant to a call in our papers, a number of the citizens of our town met at tho Town Hall, to consider and take stops towards tho erection of a Cotton Factory. Judge J. R. Parrott was called to the Chair and Thomas W. Milner cho sen as Secretary. The Chair, upon calling the meeting to order, requested Col. J. J. Howard to explain tho object of tho meeting.— Ho responded by giving the meeting a brief and appropriate address, in which ho set forth that our town could, with a capital of twenty-five thousand dol lars, begin an enterprise upon which its future welfare greatly depend ed. Ho had been thinking of suuli an undertaking for some time, and liad concluded that it would be a good in vestment—that it did not require more than $25,000 to commence with, and build up as the business of the enter prise increased.

That it would increase tho trade of our mer chants. An enterprise in which all were interested in building. Judgo J. E. Parrott was then called upon to give his ideas on the matter- He favored the enterprise—called upon tho meeting to go to work. It takes money to build a cotton factory, and tho first thing we have to do is to get the people to understand the benefits of such an enterprise. He would sug gest that a committee be appointed to open books and make immediate solici tation for subscription to the stock o f the Factory. He would suggest that they make a call upon the young men , the working mm of our town and vicin ity, aud explain the benefits of such an institution to them to make invest ments. On motion of Gen.

On motion, the meeting adjourned to meot Saturday, the 3rd of Juno next) at tho Town Hall. Let all who feel in terested in tho welfare cf Cartersville bo present. J. Pv. PARROTT, Chm’n. Thomas W.

Cartersville, June 1. R. W. Satterfield. Tho above named individual on Sat urday laid, snoakingly and with rou gish intent, entered the office of John H. Wikle and under pretence of want ing to examine the contents of a cer tain paper, tho joint property of John H. Wiklo and John Coxe, then in the possession of John H. Wikle, as soon as he got the paper into his hands, and pretending to read it,, broke and ran off with it in the same manner as a thief and robber would take a person’s horse from the stable or rack. We have long known this man to be a deep died-in-the-wool scoundrel, and for the information and guidance of the good people of the town and com munity, w e hereby denounce and brand him a3 a consumate liar, a sneaking thief and robber, and a con temptible coward, unworthy the notice or confidence of any gentleman, which wo are abundantly prepared to demon strate to the full satifaction of all hon est minded people.
