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. 1 am, dear sir, Your obedient serv’t., JOSEPH E.

The following from Harper’s Magazine, is a good illustration of the intelligence of North ern people upon many of those points connect ed with the South, upon which they assume to speak : Col. Williams, a gallant officer from New Orleans, tells the following capital story of himself, and a friend who heard it sends it to the Drawer : The Colonel was on a visit to the North, and at a large dinner-party in Lancas ter, Pennsylvania. He was almost a stranger 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, sir, I dou’t know which, find it don’t make then explained to her much difference.” I . „ and the company, greatly to their relief, that JtWion, as most other l oads are, to keep down creoU means native, and has no reference to i'„t» * * . . . 1 i 1 — . ifint opaa a ItnrcAC anil nrr»nIn overned by some for the Road knights to a reasonable standard. . ar “bad is the only connecting link be- the net-work of Railroads, at each end "Meeting a large portion of the Atlantic JSsts with thcniighty West.

Tho following is too good to be lost. We clip it from an exchange paper, and respect h reach it. q-},. r*y- in, to ti 7* St eri-E o fully call the attention to it of certain persons who feel disposed to spread in the newspaper line : A young man who ardently desired wealth was visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempt 1 ed him' to promise his soul for eternity, if he could he supplied on this earth with all the money he could use. The bargain was con eluded—the devil was to supply the money and was at last to have the soul, unless the young man could spend more money than the devil could furnish. Years passed away—the man married, was extravagant in his linn built palaces, speculated widely—lost and ga' away fortunes, and yet his coffers were a! wavs full. He turned politician, and bribed his way to power and fame, without reducing his “pile” of gold. He became a “filibuster,” and fitte out ships and armies, hut his hanker honor all hit drafts. He went to St. Paul to live and paid the usual rate of interest for all the money he could borrow, but though the dev' 1 made wry faces when lie came to pay the bill yet they were all paid. One expedient after another failed—the devil counted tiie time, on ly two years, that he must wait for the and mocked the efforts of the despairing man One more trial was resolved upon the man started a newspaper The devil growled i the bills at the end of the first quarter, was savage iu six mouths, melancholy in nine oroke, “dead broke,” at the end of the year So the newspaper went down, and the soul was saved. red “ Tc Liadie Plack Bony,” BY GOTLEIB. “ Chon, you recelemetnpcr dat fiddle plack bony pyed mit to de bedlar nex week ?” “ Yah ; yot of him ?” “ Nottings. only I gets shcatcd burdy pad.” “ So ?” “Yah !

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. A Thief Deterred by Hearing- Fami- LY PRAYER.

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.” $50 REWARD.

ADAMS, Supt. ‘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. E. C. ROWLAND. Macon, Ga., Sep. 8th, 1857. Valuable Plantation YOB SAJLE.

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.
