It is a fact well established that Hail R tads always benefit the city from which they start, and that at whicliliiey terminate, together with the country through which they pass, the full a mount of their outlay , and leave the road itself as clear a gain as if it had cost nothing to build it. Our people have had their road built for them by the fctale. and have never been called upon before to aid in any enterprise of the kind, and hence are unfamiliar with such kind of investments. We say, then, that since investments in uegro property which, before the war were regarded, at least, as good as miv investments and as sale, there is no kind of property which offers so ma ny advantages as that of Rail-roads.— Many persons are apt to suppose that money invested in them is the same a 8 if it was bestowed upon some charitable purpose, whereas, if it were never to pay a cent in the shape of dividends, it would be no worse invested than if laid out in wild lands which might or might not rise in value, with this difference, in favor of the Rail-road investment, that it is a great benefit to the people generally and causes many trades and business to revi v e and llourish. But properly in rail roads is the kind of in vestment. The dividends out of the profits or net earnings of a railroad are generally arranged to fall i:> seasons of the year when money is scarcest, and when in consequence it is the more valuable. — They are semi-annual or twice a year, and on our leading roads will average i wo five per cent dividends a year. — Snip#times they go far beyond this.— The CenUni Rail Road, before the war, paid, one year, over 20 per cent divi dends in one year. We ste no reason why tho Cartersville 4' an Wert R. R. stock wilfnot be as good as the Central Rail Road slock ; but on the contrary it will be better. The facility of transfer or sale ofßail io.nl stock is another advantage initsfa vor over real estate ofany kind. If you wish to sell your railroad stock, the scrip is co arranged that you have but to sign your name and the sale is made. No deeds are necessary, nor any re cording of the same, which are always attended with more or less of trouble when sales of real estate are made. Another advantage of railroad prop erty is the iittle trouble it costs to keep •h c titles. A scrip is given to the par ty holding shares in a railroad, which he may sell, but if the scrip be lost no advantage can be taken of it by the par ty finding it. and the stock ledger is good evidence of the ownership, and new scrip can be issued on application to the Secretary of the Company. The last advantage of Rail Road stock that we shall name, is the fact that the stock always bears a well as certained value, and may be used as a collateral for the borrowing of money. It ia much less cumbersome and expen sive than mortgages which must be re sorted to in ease other than personal securities are demanded by the lender. It is a mistaken notion, therefore, when r person takes stock in a railroad enter prise. he virtually throws his money away, oi that he receives only advan tages from his investment. On the contrary he is laying his money out in the very best kind of property. The Cartersville &. \cn Wert Rail Read, if built at all, must be built by £2f> subscriptions. The shares are pin at that sin ill sum in consideration of the extreme scarcity of money at the present time, and every one inter ested. or who only wishes to make a pood investment ot his money, should take a share. We call on capitalists to aid in the enterprise which is to re numerate them and benefit the country. { The people of Atlanta are eonsidera* bly agitated over an alleged deficit of some thirty thousand dollars in their city treasury. Both the daily papers rail loudly for a speedy public exhibit of all the laots, and the Era politely advises and argues the Mayor and Coun cil to resign—a portion of them having been connected v. ith the Board of last year, in which the finances “ mixed.” Veto Hi Ti^re. Washington, January 28. —-The! following is the substance of the Pres- j id, ia"s Veto Message, on returning the j 101 lid a*...! Colorado: ' A sense of duty prevents his approv ing the bill. With the except ran of an additional clause, it is the same vetoed in May last, which still a waits the Senate's reconsideration. He is una ble to perceive any reason for changing his opinion, but sees additional reasons for confirming the wisdom of the former veto. The additional section makes the bill still more objectionable. 'I lie Constitution of Colorado provides that the laws existing shall continue. — Among these is one absolutely prohib iting negro suffrage. The recent Ter ritorial Legislature almost unanimously refused its repeal, and pending the passage of the act by Congress, the Territorial Iz-gialature passed an ;ct denying jury rights to negroes. The bill before me grants rights denied by the Legislature and Constitution of Colorado. This incongruity and pro test on the part of the people against a Slate Government, clearly indicates the impolicy and injustice of the proposed enactment. It is a subject of serious enquiry, whether the enactment is not an attempt to exercise power not con j ferred by the Constitution. Tlit President submits evidence of the repugnance of tlit* people of Colorado to a State Government. The total population of Colorado is 279,000, only one-fifth of what is required for Con gressional representation. He argues the injustice of allowing this small community one Representative and two Senators. Such admission ol Slates was not practiced in early days. Ihe Nebraska admission in 1847, resulted from sectional strife, which we would do well to regard as the warning of evil rather than an example for im press. lie shows by statistics that other States, when admitted, had popu lations entitling them to one and nearly to tw r o Representatives. Every organ ized Territory, equally with .Colorado would he entitled to admission as a logical precedent. He admits that Docotah, Montana and Idaho, when they present themselves, will give us ten new Senators and five Represent atives, furnished by a population scarcely entitled to one Representative in the existing States; while the aver" a ge population for two Senators is now nearly one million. He argues that the enabling act for Colorado was passed under false statistics and against the deliberate decision ol the people. Besides, the bill is so framed as to render its execution impossible, and it is a question whether or not it is in itself a nullity. He argues at some length the incongruities of the bill, and concludes : The admission of the State will be looked upon by history as mat king the progress oi the nation; but I cannot see that the propose proceed ing is according to the uniform policy of the Government ir admitting new States. —A ew Fra. Gkn Grant and the President. — Leo, the correspondent ofthe Charles ton Courier wiites : The Radicals hope to obtain some information from General Grant which will implicate the President in a plan for resistance, by force, of the illegal and unconstitutional acts of Congress. It is averred that General Grant has such information, and the President has conferred with him as to the meas ures to he taken in certain contigencies, lor the maintenance of the Government or against the usurpation of Congress. The President has more than once openly declared that while he would submit to impeachment upon any charges that can be preferred in a legal and constitutional manner, he will op pose. with all his power, arbitrary and illegal measures ot Congress. Congress desires now to put him to the lest —stripping him first, however, of all power of resistance. The radicals now find that much depends upon Gen. Grant. If Grant and Sherman stand by the President, there will be no impeachment, and no military and negro governments estab lished over the Southern States. Among the acts passed bv the Geor gia Legislature is one protecting the rights of married women. The Milledge vilie Recorder says that it provides that all the property of the wife at the time of her niarri age, whether real or person al, or choses in action, shall be and re main the seperate property of the wife; and that all property given to, inherited or acquired by the wife during the co reture, shall vest in and belong to the wife, and shall not - te liable for the oavment of any debt, default or con tract cfthe husband.

The National Publishing Company has just issued a work entitled Alex ander 11. Stephens, in Public and Pri' vale, with Letters and .Speeches, Before, During and Since the War, by Henry Cleveland. In the copy sent us we find the following exceedingly interest ing correspondence, which has never belore been published. Mr. Cleveland says: “We are informed by Mr, Ste phens that no person had ever seen the letters of Mr. Lincoln to him until since his return from Fort Warren in 1865, except his private secretaries/’ The ‘For your own eye’ of Mr. Lin coln ha i been sacredly observed, as far as possible, so long as it was deem ed at ail necessary or proper.” The letters are as follows: — Const. FROM MR. LINCOLN TO MR. STEPHENS. Springfield, 111.. Nov. 30, 1860. Hon. A. 11. Stephens : My Dear Sir: I have read in the newspapers your speech recently de livered think) belore the Georgia Legislature, or its assembled members. If you have revised it, as is probable, I shall be much oblighed if you will send me a copy. Yours, very truly, A. Lincoln. FROM MR. STEPHENS TO MR. LINCOLN. Crawfoudvillr, Ga., 14tn Dec., 1860. My Dear Sir : Your short and po lite note of the 30th ult., asking for a revised copy of the speech to which you refer, &.C., was not received until iast night. The newspaper report of the speech has never been revised by me. The notes of the reporter were submitted to me, and corrected to some extent before being published, but not so thoroughly as I could have wished. The report was substantially correct. If l hail had any idea that it would, have been so extensively circu lated as it has been, and been repub lished in so many places throughout the country as it has been, I should have prepared a copy for the Press in the first instance. But I had no such thought, and theiefore let the report go as it did. There are several verbal inaccuracies in it, but the main points appear sufficiently clear for all practical purposes. The country is eeitainlv in great peril, and no man ever had heavier or greater responsibilities rest ing upon him than you hav« in the present momentous crisis. , Yours most respectfully, Alexander H. Stephens. non. aqraiiam Lincoln, Springfiieldlll. Reply of mr. Lincoln. (For your own eye only .) Springfield, 111., Dec, 22, 1860. lion. A. 11, Stephens: My Dear Sir : Your obliging answer to my short note is just received, and tor which please accept my thanks. I fully appreciate the present peril the country is in, and the weight of re sponsibility on me. Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican Administration would, di rectly, or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them about their slaves? If they do I wish to assure you, as once a friend, and still, I hope, not an enemy, that there is no such cause for such lears. The South would he in no more danger in this respeci, than it would in the days of Washing ton. I suppose, however, this does not meet the case. You think slavery is right, and ought to be extended ; while wc think it is wrong, and ought to be restricted. That, I suppose, is the rub. It is certainly the only substantial difference between us. Yours, very truly, A. Lincoln. Mr. Stephens to Mr. Lincoln. Ckawfordvillk, Ga., 30th Dec., 1860. Dear Sir: Yours of the 22d instant was received two days ago. 1 hold it and appreciate it as you intended.— Personally I am not your enemy—far from it; and however widely we may differ politically, yet I trust we both have an earnest desire to preserve and maintain the Union of the States, if it can be done upon the principles and furtherance of the objects for which it was formed. It was with such feelings on ray part that I suggested to you in my former note the heavy responsibil ity now resting on you. and with the same feelings I will now take the lib erty of saying, in all frankness and earnestness, that this great object can never be atlained by force. This is my settled conviction. Consider the opinion, weigh it, and pass upon it for yourself. An error on this point may lead to the most disastrous conse quence. 1 will also add that in my judgement the people of the South do not entertain any fears that a Republi can Administration, or at least the one about to he inaugerated, would attempt to interfere directly and immediately with Slavery in the States. Their apprehension and disquietude do not spring from that source. They do not arise from the lact of the known Anti- Slavcrv opinions of the President elect. Washington, Jefferson, am! other Pres idents ire generally admitted to have been Anti-Slavery in sentiment. But in those davs Anti-Slavery did not. enter as an element into party organ* iz nions. Questions of other kinds, relating to the foreign and domestic policy— , commerce, finance, and other legitimate | objects of the General Government — were the "basis of such associations in their day. The private opinions of individuals upon the subject of African slavery, or the status of the negro with us, were not looked to in the choice of Federal officers, any more than their views upon matters of religion, or any other subject over which the Govern ment, under the Constitution, had no control. But now this subject, which is confessedly on all sides outside of the constitutional action of the Gov ernment, so far a9 the States are concerned, is made the “central idea” in the platform of principles announced by the triumphant party. The leading object seems to be simply, and wan tonly if you please, to put the institu tions of nearly half the States under the ban of public opinion and national condemnation. This, upon general principles, is quite enough of itself to arouse a spirit not only of general indignation, but of revolt, on the part of the proscribed. Let me illustrate. It is generally conceded, by the Republi cans even, that Congress cannot inter fere with slavery in the States. Jit is equally conceded that Congress can not establish any form of religious worship Now, suppose that auy one of the present Christain Churches or sects prevailed in all the Southern States, but had no existence in any one of the Northern States —under suck circumstances, suppose the people of the No/tern States should organize a political party —not upon a foreign or domestic policy, but with one leading idea of condemnation of the doctrines and tenets of that particular Church, and with the avowed object of prevent ing its extension into the common Territories, even after the highest ju dicial tribunal of the land had decided they had no such constitutional power ! And suppose that a party so organized should carry a Presidential election ! Is it not apparent that a general.feeling of resistance to the success, aims and objects of such a party would necessa rily and rightfully ensue? Would it not be the inevitable consequence ? And the more so. if possible, from the admitted fact that it was a matter be yond their control, and on-e that they ought not, in the spirit of comity be tween eo-States, to attempt to meddle with. I submit these thoughts to you for your calm reflection. We at the South do think African Slavery, as it exists with us, both morally and politi cally right. This opinion is founded upon the inferiority ofthe black race. You, however,and perhaps a majority of the North, think it wrong. Admit the difference of opinion. The same difference of opinion existed to a more general extent among those who form ed the Constitution, when it was made and adopted. The changes have been mainly on our side. As parties were not formed on this difference of opin ion then, why should they be now ? The same difference would o( course exist in the supposed case of religion. When parties or combinations of men, therefore, so form themselves, must it not be assumed to arise not from reason or any sense of justice, but from lanat lcisin? The motive can spring from no other source, and when men come under the influence of fanaticism, there is no telling where their impulses or passions may drive them. This is what creates our discontent and appre hension. You will also allow me to say that it is neither unnatural, or un reasonable, especially when we see the extent no which this reckless spirit has already gone. Such, for instance, as the avowed disregard and breach ofthe Constitution, in the passage of the statutes in a number of the Northern States againts the rendition of fugitives from service, and Such exhibitions *f madness as the John Brown raid into Virginia, which has received so much sympathy from many, and no open condemnation from any ofthe leading men of the present dominant party. For a very clear statement of the pre vailing sentiment of the most moderate men of the Smith upon them. I refer you to the speech of Senator Nichol son, of Tennessee, which I inclose to you. Upon a review of the whole, who can say that the general discontent and apprehension prevailing is not well founded ? In addressing you thus, I would have you understand me as being not a per* sonal enemy but as one who would have you do what you can to save our common country. A word ‘fitly spoken’ by you now would indeed be ‘‘like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” I entreat you be not deceived as to the nature aid extent of the danger, or as to the remedy. Conciliation and har mony in my judgement, can never be established by force. Nor can the Union, under the Constitution, be maintained by force. The Union was formed by the consent »f independent sovereign States. Ultimate sovereign ty still resides with them separately, which can be resumed: and will be if their safely, tranquility and security’, in their judgement, require it. Under our system, as I view it, there is no right ful power in the General Government to coerce a State in case any one of them should throw herself upon her reserved rights, and resume the full exercise of her sovereign powers.— Force may perpetuate a Union. That depends upon the contingencies of war. But such a Union would not be the Union of the Constitution. It would be nothing short of a consolidated des. potism. Excuse me for giving y r ou these views. Excuse the strong lan guage used. Nothing but the deep interest I feel in prospect of the most alarming dangers now threatening our common country could induce me to do it. Consider well what I write, and let it have such weight w ith you as, in your judgement, under all the respon sibility resting upon you, it merits. Yours, respectfully, Alexander H. Stephens. To Hon. Abkaiiam Lincoln, Spring field, 111. . Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29. Atlanta Market. — Messrs, editors Express :—The past week has been less brisk, in general trade with a few exceptions, than the previous week The demand for Corn has been ac tive and heavy. Although the re ceipts nearly double those of the previo.ua week ; the stock has been reduced to about one days average supply, while only about three days supply is reported to arrive. Wequote mixed by the ear load at $1,35, and white at $1,35, and the market firm, with an advancing tendency. Flour is in less demand, with an increasing supply, but the market is firm at sl3 to 13,60 for standard supei fine; $13,25 to 14 lor Extra ; 14,50 c for Double Extra; 15 to 16 lor Family and 17 to 18 for Fancy. * An increase in the supply of Bacon has been met by a very active inquiry, and the sales foot up equal to the av erage per week last season. We quote bacon shoulders at 15 cts, hams 20 cts, rib sides at 16 cts and clear sides at 16£ cts. Bulk shoulders brings 12 cts, sides 15 cts, hams 16 cts. There is a good stock of Lard on the market, with a fair demand. It is worth 15i cts in barrels, kegs and cans 17* cts, cans included. The large receipts of Hay during the week have been absorbed by a much increased demand. It continues to bring $45 per ton. The receipts of Oats have been very heavy, but unusally active demand has left the market with a moderate stock on hand. The market is firm at $1,05. There is a small stock of Barley yet on the market, which is selling at $2,00. Irish Potatoes, for planting purposes, are now in good demand, supply limited as yet. Very Respectfully, A. K. SEAGO, Com. Merchn’t Kentucky U. S. Senator. Frankfort, Ivy, Jan. 30th.—Garrett Davis has been elected Senator by the Union Democrats and Conservatives 78 to 41. From Id alto.

Congressional Proceedings. Washington, Jan. 19th.— Senate.— The discussion of the bankrupt bill of last session was renewed. A motion to postpone was lost 10 to 21, and an amendment that District Judges ap point registers of bankruptcy on the recommendation of the Chief Justice, was adopted. After discussion of other amendments the Senate adjourned. Action on the enabling act was re sumed. Mr. Stevens accepted as a modification that, after the passage of the act, until the States were allowed representation —the habeas corpus be suspended, and martial law rule those States during the whole time. Elabo rate speeches were made and the House adjourned. The SuruEME Court. —The Wash ington correspondent of the Picayune writes : ‘Thoattack of the Radicals upon the Supreme Court has had a very good effect. The Radicals are conscious now that they committed a very grave blunder in making that at tack. As I intimated in a recent letter, they have ascertained that they cannot carry Congress with them, in the as saults which they proposed to make upon the Court; while the general sen timent and good sense of the whole North has risen up against the proposal to reorganize the Court, so as to make it subservient to partizan ends. When Congress re assembles, there may be some men, like Boutwell, who will rave and gnash their teeth over the recent decision of the Court, and the one on the test oath, now soon to be pronounced. But even the Republican members of Congress have cor.fidence in the integrity of the five judges ap* pointed by Mr. Lincoln, and they are willing to acquiesce cheerfully in all the decisions of the Court.’ MARRIED, at the Bribe’s fathers, on the evening of the 17tfi January, 1867. by the R 4 v James G.
