Report of the Superintendent of Pah*
* lie Work*
From the Brunswick Appeal.
We have before ns thg able report
pi Col. B. W. Probel, the Superin ten
fitynt of Public Works of Georgia, made
oft the Ist of July, 1870, from which
< we glean a great deal of information,
and make copious extracts.
He ably reviews the condition of the
various raifroads which have received
State add, and clearly proves the great
advantages derived from the wise pol
icy of endorsement adopted by the
State. The taxable property along
the lines already finished has increased
to a very extent, apd along the
lines being constructed there is also
considerable increase of its taxable
value.
Upon investigation we find that Hon.
Alexander Stephens was the first to in
troduce a bill using the credit and
money of the State, and if had not
netted a dollar above panning expen
ses It would have proved a wise invest
ment The whole pf North Georgia is
no* the most properouß portion of the
State, owing almost entirely to the ad
vantages of the State aid, i. e. the State
Rkilroad.
The State next appropriated l/100,-
Flint Biverat Bainbridga Although
this Road has never paid a single div
idend, yet the enhanced valua of the
taxable property along its line, has per
haps more than compensated the origi
nal outlay hy the State. V.
The Macon and Brunswick Railroad
reoeived the endorsement of the State
to the amonnt of SIO,OOO per mile, and
is secured by property the cash value,
of -which is $lB or $20,000 per mile.—
Os thisroadhe says:
“Connecting as it does, the great rail
road system of the State, with two of
the finest harbors and most promising
seaports of the South, and offering to
the West and Northwest a cheap and
expeditious line of travel for their im
mense tide of immigration, and, at the
same time, an easy ont-let to the At
lantic Ocean for their rich and varied
products; it presents strong grounds,
for hope, that the most sanguine ex
pectations of its projectors may be
nttt^Ohattan^ogaßail
road has received the endorsement of
the State to the amount of $192,000,
scoured by a lien upon property to the
amount of $627,000 cadi value.
The South-Georgia and Florida
Railroad was finished a few months
since, from Thomasvilleto Albany, and
has been leased 16 the A..& G. R. R.
ThO entire length of the road is 73
miles, and it cost $1,345,1)00. Bonds
to the amount of $584,000 were en
dorsed by the State, which makes the
security apparently ample. Os this
road he says: *
“Its completion adds but another
link to that grand line of railroad,
which, beginning in the heart of Flor
ida, and passing through the length of
Georgia, finally terminates upon the
banks of the Onio."
The Brunswick & Albany Railroad
received State aid in March, 1869, and
the only one which encountered strong,
united and determined opposition.—
This opposition arose, not owing to the
danger of the endorsement of the State,
but entirely from selfish motives. The
whole secret lies in the fact that it will
shorten the lines from the cotton belt
and all connecting lines at Albany,
Eufaula, Montgomery and points be
yond, a hundred and more miles to the
best seaport along the South-Atlantio
coast Os this road Mr. F. speaks in
the highest terms:
“Upon a recent inspection, I found
all that portion completed, in excellent
condition. The work is being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible, the
whole line to the Chattahoochee being
under contract When completed,
this road will be of vast importance in
conveying the trade of Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas to the
sea ports of Georgia; and presenting,
as it does, the shortest and most direct
route to the sea-board for the trade of
the four States just rajßqtioned, there
can be no doubt of il| success.”
This road receives the endorsement
of the the State to the amount of $15,-
000 per mile, and will cost when com
pleted and equipped about $30,000
per mile.
The Air Line Road was the second
to receive State aid, yet it has com
pleted only about one section of its
road, while other roads have been com
pleted and are now running.,
The Cartersville and Yan Wert Rail
road . received endorsement ta the
amount $12,500 per mile, and the cost
of construction has been about $27,-
000 per mile in bonds.
The Dalton and Morgantown Rail
road, the Baiubridge and Cutbbert and
Columbus Railroad, each art to re
ceive the endorsement of the State of
$12,500 per mile. ~«*«w.i w i
The total amount of endorsement,
after all the roads oro completed, ex
clusive of the Bainbridge, Cnthbert and
Columbus Railroad, will amount to
$8,527,000. Os this amount there has
been issued $4,016,000. So secure
which the State bolds a first-mortgage
upon property amounting, in the ag
gregate, to $6,207,000, with the statu
tory right of taking possession of this
property upon the failure of the rail
road to meet their engagements.
The average rate or endorsement, he
says, has been something over SII,OOO
per mile, and this amount, ns we have
seen, covers one-third of the property
offered os security So for from the
State being endaugered by an excess.

assured by many experienced railroad
men, that there an few railroads, of

any importance, in- tho conntry, and
certainly none in Georgia, that would
not bear at mortgage or at least $20,-
OQO per mile with perfect security tb
the bondholder. An examination into
the annual profits arising from these
roads, together with the amount of se
curity offered by those for which the..
State has already endorted, strength
ens the conviction that this estimators
not excessive. 'Toffi will •find, also, by
the returns made of tho side of these
bonds, that their price has been stead
ily advancing, aim that the roads find
no difficulty in paying them ont to con
tractors for local work, at par. During
thp past year there has been an in
crease of 71 per cent upon the entire
property of the State, making an addi
tion to our taxable resources of $14,-
449,535, a sum exceeding, by nearly
$6,000,000, the whole amount for which
the State would be liable did every
railroad to which Bhe has loaned her
credit prove an utter failure. And we
must bear in mind that the value of
the railroads built during that
is Dot included in the estimate.
In looking upon the map we see that
the geographical position of Georgia
gives her an advantage not enjoyed by
any other Atlantic State. Several
hundred miles nearer the Valley of
the. Mississippi, whose navigable wa
tert reach within four hundred miles
of her principal seaports, Bhe offers the
shortest and cheapest route from the
great Northwest to the sea, and has it
i her power to gather to herself the
whole importing and exporting trade
of all that vast region.
Aglance at the present condition of
affairs shows us that Florida, Alabama
andt Mississippi are each steadily push
ing their railroad enterprises. These
enterprises will surely build up and;
develop the resources of those States,
whiob, after all, must be, in a great
measure, tributary to Georgia. The
reason is obvious. The necessities of
trade require that (he great staples of the
South be brought into market with as lit
tle delay as possible. The seaports of
those States lie upon the Gulf of Mexi
co, where long calms and the dangers
of the "Florida Reefs,” make transpor
tation by sailing vessels tedious and ex
pensive, and with steamers differing
only in a less degree. In coming from,
and going to Europe they would be
compelled to coal at Key West or Ha
vana, or else accept the alternative, of
occupying the major portion of their
carrying capacity with the fuel neces
sary for so long a voyage. Hence, the
tendency of trade to the Atlantic Coast.
From tho Helen* (Monteak) Herald.
Sketeh by a Passenger,
Corbine, Utah, Aug. 6, 1870.
Messrs. Sparks <t- McPherson —
Dear Sirs : I arrived here last night
well and with all my greenbacks. I
presume that my telegram from Snske
River caused, some little excitement in
Helena. I gave the same particulars
of the robbery of our coach to the op
erator, who, I fancy, forward them sim
ultaneously with my private dispatch.
I will give you a detail of What I saw
and heard :
Nothing apeoial occurred on the trip
until the second day out, when ft be
gan to be vaguely whispered at the
several stations that we would proba
bly be attacked at Pleasant Valley.—
Tne reasons were, that twenty or thir
ty head of horses and mulew had been
stolen the previous Gay, and that three
horsemen had been driven off by Kir
kendall’s men while prowling about
their camp. Reaching Plesant Valley
about 9 o clock,, on Thursday evening,
I saw indications of some anxiety on
the part of the driver and guard—
both of whom wore armed with shot
guns and revolvers. We, passed tbe
first station south of Pleasant Valley
safely, but it was between this and the
next that we expected the fun. Lieu
tenant Hamilton, of Fort Ellis, was
with me, and the three Chinamen. I
only had one weapon of defense. We
were all now watchful, and as the
coach ascended from the bed of Dry
Creek, thiß is what caught our ears:
Click click 1 click click 1 “Halt 1” and
like an apparition three road agents
sprang from the rocks a few feet from
£he coach. One drew his Henry rifle
on the leaders, the next on the driver,
and the third paid his compliments to
the lieutenant and mvself by placing
the muzzle of his needle-gun in rather
uncomfortable proximity to our ears,
Itna, os the driver pithily remarked,
“the mnzzles df them rifles appeared
as large as a nine-inch stovepipe.” I
instantly seized my “navy,” but a touch
of cantion from Hamilton advisedjpa
tience. Not knowing what the issue
of the affair might be, I concealed my
in the cushion of my seat by -
catting a hole in the leather. My com'-
panion had previously placed his in
the band of his drawers.
The Chinamen had by this time
awoke, and began their gibberish. I si
lenced them, and then noted the prog
ress of affairs outside. The drive put
on the brake tbe moment they chal
lenged him. He asked what they
wanted. . - "
“Tho treasure boxes,” said they.
“All right!” said the driver; “hire
they are,” and threw ont the light one
(from Virginia City I believe.)
“Yon have another of these fish?”
said the leader.
“Yes,” was the reply.
“Throw it ont was the command.
This was done, and steping aside,
be picked np an axe and began chop
ping the light one open. It took him
full fifteen minutes, and hard work at
that. - He emptied its contents.
“There's nothing in that d—d box,”
he said, evidently much enraged.
Hu next attacked the Helena box,
wltich contained abont six thousand
dollars, T believe. He remarked to the
driver, during the progress of opening
the boxus, that lie was sorry to detain
us so long, but it oould not bo helped;
that these things would ocour in tho
beet of regulated families.
| “Are there any passengers aboard?”
71* , \*r \ V =r—■-«;
lie. said, when he got through with the
“Yes,” said the driver, “throe China
men and two, white JMa.* ,
“Gfet out John,” in a voice that 5
could hot bc' mistaken. We told the
bews t o get odt They were very tjn
•Wllling to go, but they finally tnnied'
out The leader held his rifle to their
bends and demanded their money.
With many' pretestations of poverty,
they said they had none. One said;
“Two dollars hap alee; no more.”—
Tkev would not be satisfied, but with
-fearful imprecations they told them
that they would shoot them where
they - stood if they did not disgorge.—
One by one he stripped off their tunics
and boots, and took what they had.
The third and last who had the lar
gsst-amount of money ($3,700,) strung
around'" his neck or iff a belt, ho han
dled very roughly. He took his long
knife (about twelve inches,) and rip
ped shirt, vest and coat from top to
bottom, and the gold fell out with a
heavy “thud” to the ground. Having
finished, they ordered them into the
ooach, and told them to “go on,” much
to our relief, indeed, for I fully expect
ed that we would be next. We cannot
explain their partiality in our favor,
but think that,they were afraid to at
tempt to force xis out.
I could easfiy have killed two of
them, but it wbuld have been at the
expfeUSe of the life of one of the men
on the box, an issue which I did not
like to force. The hind curtain being
down, none of them could observe our
movements; hence I had the “drop”
on any one of them except tho nmn
who covered the driver, who was a lit
tle too far. Thus ended my experience
with the road events of Montana, of
.whom ! have heard and read so much.
I will leave to-night for my destina
tion, and hope I will find everything
all right It is reported here that the
Boise coach was robbed the same night
as ours—s2o,6oo lost
Yours, very truly,
D. A. McPherson.

Georgia Politics.
The New York Tribune thus ham
mers away at Georgia polities:
“The American Bourbons. The
“Democrats” (late repels) of Georgia
have constructed a platform, whereon
they are organising to carry their State
in her approaching election for Con
gress and Legislature, as they carried
ssSSSs
irn^irs?
work and wages, while thrice as many
are terrified into staying away from the
polls, they will, of course, have a large
majority. It is, therefore, desirable
that the whole people should know on
what principle they resume tho control
of their State; ana they have-not dis
dained to satisfy the rational interest
felt in their attitude. State Bights
as maintained prior to Secession, is
their freed, and the whole of it. They
That Gie Democratic party of tho
State of Georgia stands upon the prin
ciples of the Democratic party of the
Union, bringing into special promi
nence, as applicable to the .present ex
traordinary condition of the country,
the unchangeable determination that
this is a Union of States, and inde
structibility of the States, and of their
rights, ana of their equality with oaeh
other, is an indispens&le part of our
political system.
Now, there are yearly as many ex
positions as expowtQHMjf State Rights;
but, happily, we are not left in doubt
tas to the Georgia exegesis. The Hon.
A. H. Stephens has, just completed an
elaborate and able defense of tha late
rebellion under the title of “The War
Between the States,” wherein the Geor
gian conception of State Rights is un
hesitatingly set forth in all its native
deformity, and commended to general
acceptance as the true American doc
trine embodied in the preamble to the
Federal Constitution.
Mr. Stephens, it is well known, was
an original, forcible, influential oppo
nent of Secession, deeming it uncalled
for by any existing exigency, and. un
justified by any RUegea wrong inflicted
on the South by thoNcg-th; but, when
a majority of the Georgia Convention
had voted to secede, went
over to secession, andwias thereafter its
zealous champip*. was jiq sub
mission of thalmomentoUß'/Ordmance”
to a popular vote, whether in Georgia
or in her five sisters whflCforiued with
her the origimd Southern Confederacy,
and Mr. Stephens never Remanded any.
In each case, were qhoeen
who assembled in Convention and voted
their State out of the Union, feT defi
ance of a known popular majority in
most of them; and this (Mr. Stephens
maintains) released him and his fellow
members of Congress froto their oath
of fidelity to the Federal Constitution,
justified those Southern officers of the
army and navy who (with Gen.
Lee) that there was no sufficient rea
son for secession, in turning their
swords against the Government which
had educated, subsisted and hobored
them, arid, in fact, dissolved all the ob
ligations whereby the citizens and
functionaries of the seceded States
had previously been botfod to sup
port and obey the "Government of the
Union. -
Mr. Stephens is a very acute and
subtile logician, and has probably oon
.nriced himself that this is At least the
doctrine of the South, and was held by
hhriwhile a Whig ; beforo he took the
downward road through Sham Demoo- i
racy, Into treahbn and overt rebellion.
In reply to«ur statement that he ac
cords to 100,000 persons, composing
which he denies to tan times that num
ber forming a like majority of tbo peo
ge 6f southern New York, bo says, (vol.
•I jb* 19) ? wGW
“My obriception involves no snob
nonsense as that exhibited in liia atata
ment of it, touching the rotative popu-
lntion of the whole State of Delaware
agdffii portion only (beiag a large ma
jority, however) of the population of
the State of New York. Populations
iu tha respect must be looked to and
considered in their organized character.
The doctrine advocated by me, with all
its corollaries, rests upon the fact that
Delaware, however .-mall her popnla
tito, is a perfectly organized State—is
a Sovereign State—an,l as such . is an
integral member of onr Federal Re
public, and that New York, with lier
ever so many more people, is no more.
The doctrine is that ours is indeed a
Federal Republic—constituted, not of
one people in mass, as a single republic
is, but composed of a number of separ
ate republioe.”
