To-day the ball was filled to ite utmost capacity to listen to the literary address, delivered by Hon. Joel A. Billups, of Macon. Mr. Billups waa introduced by Dr. Dudley, president the college. In his introduction, Mr. Billups alluded lo the fact that years ago it had been his privilege to fill a scat in the chamber they occupied, and he. oould never enter it without peculiar emotions. altuded feelingly to some who had spoken then whose voioes would never be heard again. But ia the infiuenee of those men dead J The answer to that question introduced his subject proper—“rhs Aftermath of In- fienoe.’ Aftermath means recond crop, literally, the growth which springs after the harvesting of the first crop. By “Af termath of influence” he meant to signify the actions and results which have fol lowed or grown out of great principles and the Uvea of great men. As in rowing and reaping, men always harvested more than wm ooosamed. So in literary labor, the re searches of men have always developed a certain excess of knowledge. This be come* literary capital and we find it stored away in libraries ever ready to be checked out. Tho book itself is the direct result of the »*4d sown in tho mind of its author. But how is its aftermath to be measured? The establish ing tho independence of the United States grew out of the long straggle for constitu tional liberty which had been curried on in England. But does the harvest cease with American freedom? The aftermath has been the creation here of a race of American authors, novelists, poets and historians, American orators, painters and scientists. Soon the flame blazed on Chimborazo's height, and brightened the Southern provinces ot our land, and ora tions delivered in our Senate halls were rehearsed in South America. Then the •perk flashed across the Atlantio and illu mined Spain, Italy and Poland. Thus we see that the aftermath becomes infinitely greater than the harvest. Then, too, there is an attermuth of evil equally potent in its. results. In conclusion he nrged the scholars to realise thrlforce of what he hed ■aid, and to remember always that the influence they exerted was unending. Mr. Billups explained and elaborated his leading thought, the undying character of influonce. Every principle laid dowif w<u illustrated and verified. • At the coueluston of the addreva Miss Pauline White, in behalf of the two socie ties, prevented Dr. Mell with a gold-headed oane.

FROM I'uUPO. meat such as this or any other country never experienced in an equal number of yean. When Colonel G. began his professional career (December 16, 1P29) there were only eleven miles of railroad in tho United States, and these not worked by steam. There were two miles at Quincy quarry, in Mi asachusetta, and nine mites at Manch Chunk ooul mines, in Fen-sylvanla. The oar* were drawn by horsey or rather,” said the Colonel, speaking of the latter, “by mules, which, as the cars ran back to tho starting point by gravity, it being down grade, were allowed to ride, a privilege which they roon learned to appreciate bo much that they oouldn't be made to walk.” Col. G.'a first service as a civil engineer waa on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal under that distinguished engineer ihe late Charles Ellett. There was a board of en gineers at the head of that work, consisting of Judge Wright, Judge Roberta and Dr. Marttneau. About two months previous to this time the great competitive trial of locomotives took place on tho Liverpool and M&nchtster road, resulting in the premium being given to a locomotive in vented by Stephenson. This proved to bo the model of all future inventions in that line, but, it need not be said, many and great improvements were made on the roachir e after this period. At this time there waa an active contro versy going on between the advocates of the cannl and those of the railroad. Many believed that railroads would be used chiefly for pr Monger* and valuable freights, white heavy freights would eeek Very curious ideas were entertained in those early time*—one of which was that wind power and sails could boused iu the propulsion of trains, and experiments to thin end were actually mado on the Balti more and Ohio railroad. Another waa that any person who might choose could put Ms “vehicle” on’tho track, nnd claim r. right of way, it only he paid toll, for which purpose the companies were to havo toll- gates as on a turnpike. About October 1st, 1830, Colonel Garnett went as aMistant on the Petersburg rail road nuder General Walter Gwynn as prin cipal assistant and Moncuro Robinion as chief engineer. At thia time Mr.* Robinson stood at tho head of the profession in this country. He is one of the few survivors of Colonel Garnett's early professional con temporaries. There was littte known about the best methods of locating and constructing rail- ^ 84* at this period, and engineers had to vent as they progressed. One of the faults ‘ of that day waa the adoption of curves to save unimportant expense of work. It is amusing, said Colonel Garnett, to remem ber how far that was carried. Col. G. think* that the first locomotive in the United States was run on tho Charleston and Hamburg road in South Carolina, which waa under tho superin tendence of Horatio Allen aa chief engi- neer. The second locomotive was ran on tho l’ttersburg road, in this State, about September, 1831.

Codification In New York end Ueorrln i who The Legislature of New York has twice passed a bill adopting a civil code for that State. Ex oh tim*. the measure has been defeated by ths governor’s veto; although in on* instance the vote only lacked one of the number reqaired to override the ob jection* of ths executive. The discuMion of the measure has been very spirited. In its lest issue, the Albany Law Journal de scribes th* opponent* of the code as otrberus ot the metaphysical and c exited young law students seeking their fortunes, lazy old lawyars who have ma«*e theirs and pedantio doctrinaires who wolud never make anybody's fortune*.” Speaking of Governor Cornell’* vet >, the editor says the Oovernor “has lost the greatest opportunity of his administra tion. He has delayed, but be cannot de feat tb* establishment of a national eye- tern of law. In this connection wtfNtil atten tion to a communication in enotber col umn to the Georgia code.” Tho communication referred to, written by Mr. W. B. Hill, of this city, is subjoined: Editor of the Albany Uiw Journal:—l have been following with much interest the diecussioQ in your ootumns regarding the proposed code.
