W effectually deaden any effort that might
be made in the way of internal improve
ment People living along the line of the
protected route never h> ar tbe roar ol a rail*
road train or the whistle of tbe engine. But
should the road be bnilt, and the ports of
Flotidaand the West be opened to them,
then not only will the rushing roar of tbe
railroad car become a familiar aoond, bat
they will find untold advantages mulling
therefrom.
The bill before us provides that the leesecs
shall have full power to construct a railroad
from Macon to Atlanta. Tha* is tha au
thority. Suppose the road is built and put
in operation, what will come of it f It ia
certainly too late in the day to decry these
important methods or modes of travel and
transportation, and hence should this road
pass through Henry tbe good (fleets will be
readily seen—first, io e sure and radical in
crease in the vaioe of landed property, and
in vbe utilization of every available acre of
farming land. With largely augmented
facilities for shipping and marketing, it re
quires but half a glance to see that by open
ing up a hitherto inaccessible region of
coonlry our advantages are multiplied ten
fold—and our property increased in value in
a corresponding ratio, of course. True, our
ow n immediate city may not be benefited
very much, severthetvia, while this may be
true, ju«t as sure as the sun rises and sets
will all this region—town as well as country
—renp eventually that reward which in
evitably follows in the woke of all great and
praiseworthy works of internal improvement.
How will this reward come ? It will come
in tbe largely increased value of land, in •
rapidly swelling population, and a conse
quent augmentation of business; and then,
with all these added benefits, while Hamp
ton’s growth will not be retarded in the
least, it pnts in circulation thousands of dol
lars in a section of conotry where it is most
needed. In some portions of Henry land is
not worth much. Tbe coming of this road
will give to it a bona fide value, unattain
able in any other way. 'l'he erection of de
pot*—which experience and observation
proves often develop into thrifty towns—to
gether with other and cognate causes, ahowt
conclusively that all sections will derive
benefit from the bnilding of the rood ; and
it is nrdoubttdly to the best interests of our
people ta recognise suck sn important high
way as a sore means of developing a really
fertile and valuable region. The objection
that tome will be injured may be true, ami
yet tbe greatest good to the large* number
is a grand prinoiple, and as sound ss it is
graod.
This is the position we assume, sad we
speak the sentiments of a majority of our
citisens when we say that Hampton is in
nowise opposed to the measure. To tbe
contrary, ahe is rather pleaaed at tbe prns
pect of another road tbroagh tbe county,
and has no fears that her interests will be
menaced thereby.
General Hood.
The death of General John B. Hood
deserves more than a passing notice. By
his brilliant and heroic services in the tented
field be had woo tbe highest appkanse from
bia feilow-citigens, and his sadden taking ofl
fen like an ice shower upon the people sf
the South. He was a true patriot, and no

exploits, his undaootft) courage Rod invinci

Nsw Your.—The Republican candidate
for Governor of New York must he an
amiable sori of animal, if be is to be judged
by the following liberal standard. Speaking
of him tbe' Saratogum say* :
•♦Let us not deny its paternity. Though
it be cross-eyed. I*andy-legged, weak m the
back, red-headed and unhandsome, still it
came taos and we most take care ol it.
Perhaps the next one will be better looking.”
However true all this may be, with Rob
inson and Kelly—both Democrats—io tbe
field, this “crose-eyed, b*Ddy-legged,” etc,
chap may waddle to the front last.
To thr Point —The Governor of Indiana,
popularly known as "Blue Jeans William*,’’
ia a rugged customer. The other day he
made a speech in Kentucky, during which
he spoke as follows :
“To the ladies of Kentucky he was bound
by peculiar lies of gratitude and udmiration,
for he had come to the ladies of Louisville
naked, and they had clothed him.”
“ Blue Jeans’ never had a Imbit of pot
ting things delicately,” adds an exchange.
Ths following, io reference to public
rouda. we find embodied in the genernl pre
sentments of tbe grand jury of Clayton
conoty:
"Notwithstanding the fact that we find
the pnblic roads in ordinary condition, gen
erally, we earnestly recommend that the road
officer* be more diligent in their »ffiwta to
bring the roada to a higher standard. We
think a lar too low estimate is placed upon
the importance of good roada.”
The Legislature.
We all have our fling at it just as everv
body docs at Congress when it is in session
Bot tbe fact is. that the great mass of the
people of Georgia are thinking well of th“
Legislature just now. It las hummed, ami
hawed, and dawdled a great deal, bat it will
stand in history as one that has dealt reso
lutely and without favor or fear with men
and questions that demanded prompt, impar
tial handling. There baa been do disposition
oo its part to either cover op or whitewash
any crookedness, and one of the sorest disap
pointments of tbe Radical party ia found in
this very fact. Many vigilant eyes were
watching matters at Atlanta from all over
tb* eoootry, and the slightest disposition on
tb* part of the Legislature to falter or hesi
tate in its dealing with them promptly woald
have been marked aod utilised. The Radical
pres* of tbe eooatry have found one of tbeir
sorest disappointments in this reaalt. They
don't seem to know that an impeachment
trial w going on at Atlanta, and that all
parties concerned are Democrats. The
Logwlatare baa spiked this gun most effect
ually. If it bad batted or hung buck, ever
so little, it would have been Ridical ammu
nition for Ohio, New York. Pennsylvania,
and other States voting this fall, and another
potent factor ia tbe fores* that are mUrebiug
against os all over the North and West.
True, the Legislature did wily' Us duty,
but even that bos come to be rarer than
formerly, and deserves the more credit. It
might have fnilud ia that esaensiaL Let as
take that view of the care. Other bodies,
for whom no more waa or could be expected,
have done that very thing It stand*. and
will stand to tbe everlasting credit of tbs
present Legislature (hat it baa never once
wavered iu tbe work marked out. --It had
open ryes aod ears and willing hands to see
and do all that duty, and * regard for tbe
best interests of the State and tbe punish
ment of wrong doing and doer demanded,

Public Cemetery.
Mr. Editor :—Hampton is rapidly im
proving. Many beautiful residences and
handsome business houses have been erected
dating tbe last twelve months, and several
mere are now in process of erection.
This is ell w* II enoogh, and speaks wrll
for the energy and iaate of onr citizens. But
while preparing for the convenience and
comforts ol the present, might it not be well
to pay a little attention to the future!
Witb all her business prosperity ; all her
handsome baildings, public and private, she
is destitute of a cemetery—a place to bury
bet loved ones when tbe Great I Am shall
have caik-d them hence. To a stranger, this
apparent want of respect for the dead au
gurs but little for our humanity, to fay noth
ing of our character as a Christian people.
Other towns, even less pretentious than
ours, have reinateries. Why cannot H:\mp*
ton ? The barial ground at Berea is well
nigh filled up; besides, it does not belong
Io tbe town, but to Berea church. Am) were
it public properly, its prescot condition
would full to add anything to the credit of
oar people so far aa respect for their ' loved
and lost” ia concerned.
Let us. by all means prepare a Inst earthly
resting place for our friends, for the stranger
who may die “within our gates,” ond lor
ourselves, that neither we nor our posterity
shall be ushamed of—one that will tell the
passing traveler that Christians, not barba
rians, occupy our handsome bouses and wor
ship in our pretty church buildings. The
cast will be but little, and the satisfaction
enjoyed will more than compensate for it.

as. one J G. Coldwell, in reporting a cer

base slander, and that Coldwell has stated a
number of falsehoods, and that he has hardly
made one correct statement aboot it.
Having certified this in the interest of jus
