The Removal Qaestion.
Mr. Smith :. In your paper of last week, I
see a communication signed <• Cartersville,”
giving <*a f ew of the many good reasons why
the eenrt house should net remain where it
ie, and why it sbonld be moved to the town
of Cartersville.” In answering this conrtnn
nication 1 ask not to be understood as sug
gesting that it is worthy of a reply, because
of the •< goodness" of the reasons advanced
in favor of removal, bat as I suppose it is
bat the prelude to another erasnde against
Cassville, by a few men who think Carterg-
ville the Jerusalem of Cass oounty, and they
the Sanhedrim whose will they would wish
all to consider ■■ jure divino." I hope I
will be pardoned tor attempting a reply — j
••Cartersville” being a man of business, can
spare tut an hoar in attacking the rights of
i others, the interests of many of his fellow

♦Mir. inquisition, ami that immediately,
«. Cartersville” says he .. will give a few
of the many reasons why the court house
should not remain in Cassville, and why it
should be moved to Cartersville. The ever
busy mind of Cartersville may bo able to
manufacture, possibly, some*truthful rea
son why the court hough should not remain
where it is, but we doubt very much whoth
er even .. Cartersville,” in his engerncss to
have n court house in his town, can give a
sensible reason, founded upon truthful pre
mises, why the pounty site, by being moved
to Cartersville, would be to the interest of
the people of Cass County. It might be
doubted whether the writers town, which
looms as a city in the distance, would, if a
court house should be located within its lim
its, ever be the ..town of note” which desti
ny and the fertile imagination of ..Carters
ville,” would have it to be. But to the rea
sons given by the author of the ..little com
munication,” in favor of removal to Carters
ville.
First, he says Cartersville is nearer the
centre of the County than Cassville. This
is not so, nor nothing like it; and unless
Cartersville was as ignorant of the loention
of Cassville and of the Geography of Cass
county as he is desirous of having a court
house on the railroad and in his town, he
must have known that what be was penning
was not so. CaBsville is situated within half
of a mile of the centre of the county, being
about twelve miles from the northern and
about eleven from the southern bonndary,
and very near equally distant from the east
and west lines. Cartersville is upwards of
eighteen miles from the north, and about
•eight miles on a direct line from the south
dine of the county, while the distances of
■Cartersville from the points of intersection
' of a line running through the centre of the
county, with the east and west boundaries,
are much greater than those points from
Cassville. Thus it appears that Cassville is
the place for the court house, if it ought to
be in the centre of the county. More than
this, I would inform «. Cartersville,” that
according to the returns of the January e
lection, a majority of the voting population
her people, and would not therefore injure
the place; a man that could look into the
distance and see .. little clouds get larger"
until they were converted into .. flourish
ing green bay trees"—to snch men it is not
surprising that such propositions do not ap
pear strange. Perhaps nine-tenths of the
citizens of Cassville came to the place be
cause a court house was there—not with any
expectation of seeing the literary institu
tions of which they and << Cartersville" are
so proud, built up in the town ; they have
had children born; tlicy have contributed
their money and their influence, in common
with many worthy men of Cass county and
of Cherokee Georgia, to the rearing up sf
these institutions; thair property has in
creased in vnlue, and when they are so for
tunate as to bo distinguished rather for the
colleges located in their midst than for a
court house ; i- this then to he urged as a
reason why the value of the property of the
citizens is to be reduced one half, and the
means of livelihood of one-half of the people
of the town to be taken from them ? Such
flimsy and such false arguments is on ac
count of their weakness, unworthy of notice,
and for the falsity of them ought to be treat
ed with contempt, but for the danger of their
leading honest men into error. 1 have taken
the trouble to reply to them.
I can but foel confident that the good peo-
plo of Cartersville will, if they are for re
moval, urge reasons if net so strong because
of their utter destitution of truth, yet more
worthy of consideration because of the bon
esty with which they are brought forward.
The writer of this is not interested one
dollar in any property in Cassville or its vi
cinity, but is actuated alone by a sense of
justice in replying to the communication of
Cartersville ” NO REMOVAL.

The Oldest Man in America.
Mr. Smith : A recent notice in a New
York paper makes Peter Nassau, a colored
man, residing at Woodstock, Vermont, the
oldest msn in America, ne has attained
tho extraordinary age of one hundred and
twenty six years Albeit, in this era of
short-lived humanity, this appears a won
derful accumulation of years, there is in
our own Sunny South an example of longer*
ity that considerably surpasses it.
There is now living in Murray county, in
this State, on the waters of Holley Creek, a
Revolutionary veteran, whp has attained the
age of one bundled and thirty-four. His
name is John Ilames. lie is known through
out the region in which he lives by the ap
pellative of <• Gran’sir Ilames.” Grsn’sir
is contracted for Grand Sire. A grand sire
he truly is. As I was on my way to viBit
this relict of the expired eighteenth century,
I inquired of an oldish gentleman of about
sixty, if lie knew him. ..Oh, yes, I know
him,” said he, «.he is my grandfather.”
John Hames was born in Mecklenburgh
county, Virginia, and was a lsd ten years
old, when Washington was in his cradle. He
was thirty-two when Braddock met his dis
astrous defeat on the Monongubela. lie,
with several of his neighbors, set forth to
join the headstrong and ill-fated commander,
but after several days’ march, were turned
back by the news of his overthrow. He mi
grated to South Carolina nearly one hun
dred years ago. He was in thirteen consid
erable conflicts during the war of Indepen
dence, and in skirmishes and rencountres
with Indians, with tories and with British
times, beyond memory. He was with Gates
at Camden, with Morgan at the Cow Pens,
with Greene at Hillsboro’, and Eutaw, and
with Marion in many a bold rash into a to-
ry camp or red-coat quarters
He remains among us like a monument of
an age that has passed away, an example of
astonishing longevity. He has lived a sub-

Railroads in the World.
The Albany Time has been boiling down
some facts and figures, and dishes up the
following.
•The whole number of miles of railroad in
the world on the first of July last was in
side of fifty thousand miles. Of this a-
monnt, more than half (twenty seven) thou
sand three hundred and fifty miles is in
the United States. Railroads were started
in England, yet in ten years we passed her.

How the Pennsylvania Traitors are
Treated at Home.
The Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer says a
meeting of the Democracy of the upper end
of York County was held in Shrewsbury, (in
Menear's own neighborhood.) on the 14th ul
timo, when the following resolutions were
adopted by acclamation :
Whereas, We have learned with deep
mortification of the treason ofLebo and
Wngonseller. of Schnykill, and Samuel Me-
near, of our county to the party that placed
them iu power, in supporting Simon Came
ron for United States Senator, against the
regular Democratic candidate—
Resolved, That our immediate Represen
tative, Samuel Menear, has forfeited all
trnst reposed ; that he has betrayed and sold
a confiding constituency ; that we execrate
and abhor him, his treachery, deceit and
villainy.
Resolved, That he be requested to resign
his seat in the House, which he has disgrac
ed, so that it may be filled by an honest man
—oue who cannot be bought.
Resolved, That the Legislature be re
quested to take the proper means to investi
gate the late election of United States Sena-
Steamer Oostanaula.
During last week this boat went up the
river as high as opposite Calhoun, from
which to the landing is but little over a mile.
We-dearn that by, clearing out a few snags,
and cutting the overhanging boughs, the
Oostanaula can bo made quite as navigable
as the Coosa. This would open up a new
source of revenue for Rome, which could not
fail to add largely to her business and gen
eral prosperity. As a consequence of this
trade, more land would be brought under
cultivation, and its value would unquestion
ably go up. There would also be a con
stantly recurring favorable re-action be
tween the crop grower and the crop-purcha
ser.
Every day the business interests of Rome
arc looking ap better and firm-r. But what
eise could be expected from her surrounding
advantages of rich soil and healthful cli
mate, and her fortunate location at the con
fluence of the Etowah and Ostanaula Riv
ers ?
Ignorance of Gen. Washington.
The following facts in relation to Wash
ington are not stated by either Marshal, Ir
ving, Sparks or Mrs, Kirkland. They leak
ed out in a fourth of July oration delivered
by John Phoenex. Though new facts they
may be relied upon as correct:
Although for the time in which ho lived,
n very distinguished man ; the ignorance of
Washington in some things is perfectly in
credible. He never traveled on a steamboat
never saw a railroad or locomotive engine ;
was perfectly ignorant of the principle of the

Upon this subject the Charleston Mercury

The Federal Government, it says, depends
for its life upon taxation on Commerce, and
the south supplies the only reliable materi
als for the support of that commerce. And
yet, we allow all our great interests to pass
letters, and knew nothing of the application
of chloroform to alleviate suffering, or the
cse of gas for illumination. Such a man as
this could hard'y be elected President of the
United States in those times, although it
must be confessed, we occasionally have a
candidate who proves not much better in

Above we have the miles
of railroad in
various counties. Let ns now look back to
a few other matters. The average cost of
American railways has been estimated at
forty thousand dollars a mile, which is rath
er over than under the mark. The English
railways have cost, on an average, two hun
dred thousand dollars: the Belgian rail
ways, ninety thousand dollars: the French
railways, one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars; the German railways, fifty six
thousand dollars.
Many reasons may be ass'gued for these
variations. The German and American
have in general but one track, the French
and English two. The principle pursued by
the English engineers, who also built most
of the French roads was to avoid abrupt
curves and steepgredients, by grading and
cutting; hence a large increase of expense.
In this country we dread neither curves or
grades Ou some of the Pennsylvania lines
locomotives have to ascend eighty feet to go
a mile, while on the Erie road we find curves
so short that to go around them at full
peed would throw you off your boots. A—
gain the cost of land in England and France
was considerable, its real value being ire-
quentlj exaggerated by speculation. In
America and Germany it was comparative
ly small, on many of the western roads it
was insignificant. Finally, in England
large additional expense was incured in
Parliamentary nnd law fees. It is said that
the fees to counsel for obtaining a charter
for some short roads, amounted to as much
as three hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
all of which was of cousn charged against
the road, so as to increase the cost of con
struction.
