^’vrs a simple question of dollars and cents 1
Vtither of us, if elected Governor, will have
", r r ight to introduce a bill into either branch
cf the Legislature. As no bill for the sale of
, y Road can originate with the Governor, the
piy question of interest to the advocates of
iheRosd, so far as the Governor’s position is
( a.enied.is, will he sanction the hill if pass-
d by the Legislature ?
If Ism elected Governor, in my inaugural
jtfresi I shall call the attention of the Legis-
htnre to this whole matter, and ask them as
jwrcentatives of the people, in their wisdom
to determine whether they will retain the road,
bee it for a term of years, or sell the whole,
a any part of it, to private individuals or com
panies ! And if they will do neither, I shall
nbmit for their determination the question,
tbich has been submitted to previous Legis-
litwts—whether it would not he better to
tale the management of the Road out of the
bands of the Executive 1
Should th; Legislature pass a hill for the
aaleof the Road, containing such details as to
ptcct the interests of the people, it would
iwtive my sanction. Would my opponent go
farther and sanction a bill for the sale of the
Brad, without regard to the details of the bill
srthe interests of the people ?
The details which I regard material aro the
blowing:
lit. The Road should be sold for its fair
nine—Georgia is not so much in debt that
ibe is obliged to sacrifice her property to raise
wney. The people have been taxed to build
At Road—they have invested a large amount
rfaouey in it; and, in my judgment, that
mount should not be foolishly or hastily
qtudered. ,Wc should not desire to sell the
bid simply for the purpose of saying that we
«rtrid of it. It is said that it has cost us, in
Mud numbers, some six million's of dollars.
This is a large sum of money, and it should
tube squandered, or iti, security as a perma-
lot fund endangered, for thfi advancement of
the fortunes of any, even the most ambitious
political aspirants.
Iu 1643, the Legislature of Georgia passed
abfil authorising the Governor to sell the
Read, provided he did not take less than one
mihion of dollars for it. This act remained
ia force till I860. Ilad the Governor the first
of the yea? 1850, sold the Road as he had
authority to do, for one million of dollars, and
lid the money, as might have been the case,
been wasted by improvident Legislation, eve
ry Georgian who now looks upon the Road as
being worth five or six millions of dollars,
must have deeply regretted our imprudence.
This showa^the importance of calm, dispas-
conate action; in matters involving such im-
aenseinterests.
2d. If the Road is sold, the people of Geor
gia should have the preference in the purchase
* the Stock. Books should be opened in evc-
jy county in the State, on the same day. giv
ing every citizen who desires it, an opportuni
st!) tako Stock, and denying to any capi-
tslist the right to take more than some rea-
•onsble amount, to be*detennincd by the Leg-
uliture, until*all the people of the State have
W a fair opportunity to subscribe for the
I believe the Stock of the Road in the
wads of a private company would be the best
paying Stock in Georgia. The plan above
Boosed, would deny to the wealthy capital
ists the opportunity of seizing upon the entire
*«« of the Road, and would give the labor-
tng naan, though he would have money to pay
but for a single share, a fair opportunity in
tne purchase of the Stock. In my opinion,
this is proper.
^-B. The question of freights should he ao
fa irJed in th e contract of sale, that the Road
CjU, '‘ not be made an engine of oppression up
on the people of Georgia in future.
In the evett of a sale of the Road without
l ‘« safe-guard, tho Conl^any purchasing,
would have tho right, in'future. to impose their
? wn terms of freights and passage, and the
‘■wie bound by her solemn contract of sale,
wd not interfere to protect her citizens,—
And let it not be forgotten that the Company
owning this Road would not be driven by com-
thc interest paid annually into the Treasury
or the otate, thus reducing the taxes of the
people ; or itmight be used in lending aid to
t he construction of other roads, provided those
uesinng its use, could make the State amply
secure by mortgage or other sufficient sccurr.y.
Or it might he otherwise disposed of, as pru-
lence and wisdom might dictate for the benc-
nt;of the people
Of cource I refer here only to the remainder,
after payment of the State debt, and the per
manent establishment of a sufficient school
fund. I regard these objects as paramount
aim as taking precedence over all others.
J lie above arc the four important points
which have suggested themselves to my mind
necessary to be guarded in the event of the
sale of the Road. With these points suhstan-
tially guarded, I should not hesitate to give
my sanction to a hill for the sale of the Road.
In determining the question of time, when it
would he best to sell the Road, the people
should take into the account the fact, that the
annual income from the Road will have much
to do in determining the price which the Road
wrll command in ihc market. The recent
completion of the Memphis and Charleston
Road is greatly increasing the freights and
travel over our road. The road from Nash
ville to Louisville, Kentucky, passing through
the rich valleys of Kentucky, and connecting
our road with the Ohio, as it is now connected
with the Mississippi river, will be completed
within a year or two from this time, which
will add immensely to the freights and travel
on the State Road. Add to this the further
fact that the East Tenn. and Va. Road will be
completed in a few months, forming a contin
uous Railroad connection from Dalton to
Washington City, and it is probable that the
increase In the value of our Road, when the
connections are formed, will be very great.—
As long as the annual increase in the value of
the Road, is more than the interest on the
money invested, the question as to the policy
of its sale, ia one which addresses itself to the
calm judgment, and sober second thought of
th* people.
From 1843 to 1850, the Governor was au
thorized to sell the Road for $1,000,000. In
1850, the Legislature repealed the act, and
refused longer to offer it at the price. Only
seven years have passed since that time, and
it is now worth five or six times as mueh as we
then asked for it. An increase of nearly $1,-
000,000 a year. It is true we have in the
meantime made some appropriations for its
completion, hut nothing to compare with the
increase in its value.
After maturely considering the question,
should tho people, through their representa
tives, refuse to sell the Road at present, or to
lease it, or take its management out of the
hands of the Executive, it will then become my
duty, if elected, to meet the responsibility of
its management, however onerous and unplea
sant the task may be. I am aware of the
embarrassments under which those charged
with the management of the road have labor
ed in the past. But I am of the opinion the
time has come when it ought to pay the State a
handsome income. To this point, I should
direct much of the energy of my administration,
requiring of every one holding a position on
the Road, a strict and searching accountability
Believing as I do, that I could, in this way,
render an acceptable service to our beloved
State, I should, not hesitate to meet the re
sponsibility whatever might be the consequen
ces personally to me in future.
The above are in substance, the positions
which I have occupied repeatedly in iny
speeches before the people, and in the hear
ing of my opponent.

to the company, both ladies and gentlemen,
but his agreeable manners secured him a home
reception, and he was quite at ease among his
new acquaintances. “ At dinner,” says the
Colonel, “I was seated opposite to a young
and .very accomplished lady, who remarked,
in the course of conversation, ‘Surely, 6ir, you
cannot have resided Ion" at the South, your
complexion is so very fair ?’ ’’ “ Yes,” 1 am
a creole of Louisiana.” Instantly every one
around me was startled, conversation flagged
and all eyes were turned upon poor me, utter
ly unconscious of having said or done any
tiling to attract so much attention. I knew
not what to make of it, till the lady remarked
again, with a long breath, “ Well, I declare,
—I beg your pardon, sir, hut I would certain
ly have taken you for a white man 1” “ My
face burnt like* fire, and for awhile I was silent
in my confusion; hut. recovering myself. I
asked the young lady what she supposed the
word cieole meant?” “Why, black oryellow,

Indiana Trials and Sketches.
REMINISCENCES BY nON.O. It. SMITH.—A TIGHT
FIT.
In early times there lived in Indiana a man
by the name of George Boone, a descendant of
the celebrated Danied Boone, who should not
be overlooked in these sketches, although I
have not space to pay the same respect to
many others whom I would be pleased to notice.
George Boone would have stood well in those
days when there were giants in the land. He
was near seven feet high, with large bones and
muscles; his bands were large, but his feet
were beyond anything of the kind 1 have ever
seen in length, breadth and depth. I can best
give some idea of them by relating an incident
that George used to relate with gusto, after
he became one of our State Senators.
I was about eighteen years of age, when
for the first time I took it into my head to go
a sparking. One of my neighbors, a few miles
off, had a large pretty daughter, that I thought
would just suit me. It was late in the fall, and
the weather pretty cold; still, it was too early
tor put on shoes. Tho Sunday evening had
come ; I dressed in my best butternut colored
suit made s jine six months before, but soon
found that the pantaloons reached only just be
low inv knees, and my coat stretched over me
as tight as a dried eel skin on a hoop pole. I
started bare footed, wading the creeks and
muddy bottoms till I reached the house. They
were about sitting down to supper and invited
me. Sally sat by my side. Yfe had mush and
milk, and plenty of it. Tho old lady handed
ine a large bowl. I thought politeness requir
ed me to meet her at least half way, and
Stretched out my hand to take it; I had made
no calculation of the size of the tabic, the space
between the milk pitcher and the bowl, nor of
the width of my hand. I struck the big milk
pitcher on one side, and out went the milk
over the table. Sally jumped up and went
roaring with laughter into the other room.—
The old lady merely remarked, ‘It will rub off
when it gets dry,’ and the old gentleman said
there had greater accidents happened at sea.’
But it was all over with me. 1 saw that all
was lost. Not a word more was spoken. I
saw nothing more of Sally. The clock struck
ten. ‘Mr. Boone, won't you wash your feet and
go to bed ?’ said t’10 old lady. ‘Yes ma’atn/
‘Here is an iron pot—all I have suitable.’—
I took the pot, and found it so small that I
could only get my feet into it by sliding them
in sideways ; but I got them in, and soon found
them swelling tighter and tighter, until the
pain was so great that the sweat rolled off my
chin. The clock struck eleven. ‘Mr. Boone,
are you not done washing your feet ?’ ‘What
did this pot cost ? I must break the infernal
thing.’ ‘A dollar.’ • Bring nte the axe.’—
Here it is.’ I took the axe broke the pot to
pieces, handed the old lady the dollar, opened
the door, and never saw her afterwards
met Sally at a husking several years after
wards, and as we met she roared out laugh
ing.”
A FIGHT IN THE SENATE
But the end of George was not yet. He
grew up to be a man and a Colonel, and, like
Saul of old, was chosen to lead the people.
He became the State Senator and an able de
bater. His figure was so tall and commanding
his voice so strong loud and clear, his manner
so plain and unasuming. his coolness and
known courage such, that he was both respect
ed and dreaded as an opponent. While he
was in the Senate, a warmly conteseted ques
tion came up for debate, Ratcliff Boone, Lieu
tenant-Governor in the chair. The Colonel
was the leader of one side of the question, and
a senator, about four feet ten, limbs in propor
tion, with a voice like a katydid, led the other
side. The chamber was crowded. The col
onel rose, with bis eye upon the chair, and was
speaking at the top of his voice. “ That’s a
lie !” squealed out the little opposition senator.
‘As I was saying, Mr. President”—“That’s a
lie!” in the same squeaking voice. “As I was
saying”-—’The little senator could stand it no
longer. He sprang over the railing ran round
to where the colonel was standing, and struck
him with all his might on the back. “As
was saying Mr. President”—the blows repeat
ed several times, while the- colonel, without
taking the least notice of, it, continued to ad
dress the Senator until be closed his speech,
then turning his eye upon his opponent—
“What arc you doing ?”—“What am I doing?
I’m fighting.” “Who are you fighting?” “I’m
lighting you !” “Me! 1 had no knowledge
of it whatever.” The sergcant-at-arms step
ped up and carried the little senator away in a
state of exhaustion. A glass of wine and tho
friendly band of the Colonel soon put all things
to rights, and the debate proceeded.

Criminal Life,” in the Leisure Hour, contains
the autobiography of a thief, who describes
how he was once stopped by hearing sounds
to which ho had been at one time used:—
“Three of us (thieves), one winter’s evening,
were marking the premises'of a man who, we
had heard, had something worth taking, in
tending after midnight to do the job. As we
approached, however, we heard singing, and
then the master of the house praying for his
family, the neighbourhood, and all mankind ;
that sinners might be converted and turned
from the evil of their ways, and made to know
the Saviour, in whom alone peace and salva
tion were to be fonnd,’ &c. I saw that my
companions were somewhat startled, but they
tried to turn it off. As for myself, I could not
shake off the impresssion. I knew too much
to he easy. The instructions I had received,
and the prayers iu which 1 had once joined, all
rushed to my miud, and made me very mis
erable. I said, ‘Let us go; we have seen
enough.’ ‘But,’ said one, ’we haven’t been to
the back of the house, and have seen nothing.
Don’t you intend to come to-night?’ I said,
sullenly, ‘No this is no place for us;’ and as 1
was the leading man they said no more. 0
that I had not stilled the conviction of that
moment!”
Too Weak.—A Frenchman went into Flor
ence's and asked for a glass of brandy and
water, “ not made fortnight.” “ Fortnight!”
ejaculated the barkeeper, “don’t wish itnowj”
“Now, yes, sure, but not fortnight—not too
weak.”

ton Screw, where two of them are now standing and
will remain until October for inspection. I believe
it is chi-aji —t, by half, ever "iV.-i-d for the purpose of
pressing cotton or hay, as the frame, screw, pin, and
levers are alt of wrought iron. It should be attach
ed to the gin house, and have it put lip through the
floor, ns the ordinary pres—the levers being only-
five feet in length—to have the width of the house
and 13 and 2i) feet in length, the lint could then be
placed all around tho screw. Then a man ean take
five hands and pack as many five-hundred-pouud-
balcs in one dsy, with as little labor to the hand, as
the same five anil two more, with a horse, *an on

‘THE STATE PRESS.”
TO BE PUBLISHED AT 5IACON, GA.,
BY EDWIN C. ROWLAND,
EDITOR 'AND PROPRIETOR.
PROPOSE publishing in the city of Macon a
newspaper bearing the above title, the first num
ber of which will be issued as early as practicable in
October (1857). ' For the present It will bo a yreekly
japer, but will be converted into a daily or tri-week-
y as soon as the encouragement warrants it.
Believing that Macon, in view of its increasing
business and its central location with Rail Roads ra
diating in every direction, is a suitable point for es
tablishing a new paper, I embark in this enterprise
with every confidence of success, and will strive by
making
£31i£5,1;© 3Pi*©ss:s;
worthy of patronage, to secure for it both a local sup
port and a general circulation. And in order to ac
complish this object no effort will be spared to ren
der it in all respects a valuable Family Journal—
complete in its news, literary and political depart
ments—useful and interesting alike to the Planter,
the Merchant, the Mechanic and all other classes of
onr population—a paper thoroughly identified yvith
whatever concerns the weal or yvoe of Georgia, and
one which I hope to make acceptable to the citizens
of the State.
In politics. The State Press will belong to the
Southern Rights Democratic School. While I am
in favor of the preservation of the Union on the ba
sis of the Constitution, as a Southerner by birth and
education I naturally consider the rights, the inter
ests, and the honor of the South as paramount to all
other considerations. Hence in the management
of the paper my motto will be “ Equality in the
Union, or Independence out of it." But, in my hum
ble judgment, there is bat one effectual means of
preserving the Union consistently with the constitu
tional rights of the South, and therefore X will zeal
ously advocate the policy and principles of that good
old Democratic party which has been our only an
chor of safety during tho past, and now stanib our
only hope for the future.
The State Tress will be printed with new type
on a large sheet. It will he an excellent medium for
advertising, as arrangements have been made to give
it a wide circulation.
Subscription—two dollars per annum in advance,
or three dollars at the end of the year.

within three months embarked in the business* and
who will testify that they are making from 88 to 815

Tlic GrcntCNt ‘Discovery of the Age.
T HIS mixture, composed of some dozen oils and
extracts, is the result of many years experi
ments made by a medical man, the owner of a largo
number of slaves employed in exposed positions,
and subject to all the ills that usually attack the hu
man family. It is found to be superior m its restora
tive qualities to any mixture or compound ever pre
sented to the public. It has no superior for the treat
ment of any of the following afflictions:—
Sores and Eruptions on the Skin, Neuraliga, Head
Ache, looth Acne, Tetters, Bone Fellons, Pains of
every description. Rheumatism, Son Throat, Swol
len Glands, Sore or Weak Eyes, Ear Ache, Cholic,
Cramp or Pains in the Stomach, Weak Back, Spinal
Affections, Sore Breasts and Crackea Nipples, Scald
Head, Ac. We ask for it a fair trial.
We claim no magic for the workings of this suc
cessful competitor of all remedies that have been
put forward for public favor. If its first application
does not give relief, try the second, third or fourth,
and we will guarantee the sufferer shall m t be dis
appointed. Where it h.isbeen introduced, it has su
perseded DeGrath’s and all to her remedies. For
tresh cuts, the Eureka Oil lias no equal—it almost
instantly soothes pain, prevents fever, and puts tho
sore to healing. We challenge the world for tiie
production of its equal in allaying pain or in the heal
ing art. It would seem superfluous to mention the
wonderful cures produced in a very few minutes in
the streets ot Columbus, when administered *to a
horse judged to be dying under tho effects of bots,
and on two other occasions when administered to
mules suffering greatly with colic.
