Savannah, ami the DriUKWick
an<l Albany Kailroad.
Supt. Ilulbert has recently publish
ed a long letter in the Albany Kewt
upon the subject of this road, and set ß
forth the following roasions why Sa
vannah should ail in its completion,
and enumerates the advantages ac
cruing to that city. He says :
Savannah, formed by location on a
navigable river when the colony was
founded ; lor a long time its capital;
favored also by circumstances in the
early history and legislation of the
State, ha? now the advantage of ac
cumulated capital, and numbers
among her business men some of the
most reliable, prompt, sagacious and
enterprising in the has es
tablished a commerce amounting to
millions annually. Their liberality,
high-toned honor and ente-prise are
proverbial. It is therefore surprising
they should have been led, whether
voluntary or by tacit compliance with
the action of others, into opposition to
the Brunswick and Albany railway—
the inevitable result of tbe completion
of which will be the increase of her
business and wealth.
Tho reason why Savannah should
desire and aid in the construction of
the Brunswick and Albany Railroad
are great and manifold.
It will open anew line through a
new country, and create and bring new
business to her.
It will be anew and important
feeder to one of her present lines, and
hence augment her commerce.
It will open a competing line, hence
will excite competition and thus, by
reducing cost of transportation and of
transacting business, largely increase
her traffic. It will give her a short
line to the valley of the Mississippi
and the pacific.
Way should Savannah refuse tho
business; why should her business
m >n close their doors to the large and
remunerative traffic that this road o «
fers them '( Their refusal or neglect to
secure it will simply force it to Bruns
wick. Statistics prove that nearly on. *
third of the entire cotton crop of the
United States is raised in the counties
on or near the lines of railway be
tween Brunswick and Vicksburg, and
those projected between Selma and
Memphis and Meridian and Memphis.
The additional facilit es these railways
will a third will stimulate increased
productions and if wisely and ener
getically taken advantage of by Geor
gia s two ports, and her business men,
double her exports of cotton within a
period of three years.
Os nearly three million bales of cot
ton sent to market to date, Savannah,
with her present railway facilities has
received nearly five hundred thousand
bales, against some two hundred and
sixty-three thousand bales to corres
ponding date in 1868, thus nearly
doubling in two years.
The close connection of the Atlantic
and Gulf Railway with the Bruns
wick and Albany, by giving her a
shorter line with lower grades, insur
ing quicker time between the great
ralley of the Mississippi and the At
lantic porta, the business and incom
ol' the Atlantic and Gulf Railway will
be largely augmented, and Savannah
may reasonably calculate on receiving
at least one million bales cot* on the
second or third season after the line
reaches Eufaula, and an increase an
nually afterwards proportionate with
increased production. . <
That this is no idle speculation is
shown by what Savannah has already
accomplished.
The mutual interests of Savannah
and Brunswick may be promoted and
advanced by hearty co-operatioD and
generous emulation, divested ol the,
spirit of damaging, bitter rivalry.
There is room enough and business
enough for both, with no more cause
for unfriendliness than between two
merchants engaged in the same busi
ness at tbe same place.
A countryman stopped at the Max
well House, Nashville, for dinner.
The waiter inquired what he would
have and was told to bring something
of what he had.’ The waiter brought
him a regular dinner upon smaH dish
es as is the usual form, and set them
around his plate. The countryman
mirveved thorn foi a moment, and
tEbroke out: “Well, I like your
samples; now bring me some dinner.
