Wednesday Mosmßo, Aicrsr 23, 1871.
Macon and Knoxville Rail
road.
We have read, with some de
gree of anxiety, our Macon ex
changes, hoping we would find
the report made by the engineers
of the Chicago company upon the
practicability of this road. It
was stated, editorially, by the
Tclegrah and Messenger, upon
the authority, we believe, of lion.
Jerc Cowles, that this report would
be prepared and submitted to the
board of directors for their in
formation by the 12th instant,
and that upon this report the com
pany would take definite actios.
Thus far we have l>e< n unable to
find a single reference to the mat
ter, end, therefore, presume that
no information lias yet reached
Macon.
The people all along the route
feel a deep interest iti this road
and therefore manifest some im
patience. But we must remem
ber that this is a gigantic enter
prise, Involving a heavy expendi
ture of money, and that capital
is always timid. There are other
things to be taken in considera
tion in building a road two hun
dred and forty miles in length
than the uctual cost of construc
tion and equipment, and mere spec
u ation and piofits. Let us be
patient. We have confidence yet
in the building of this road.

Home, August 10th, 1871
Dear Ati.as : It is refreshing,
these long, hot summer days, to
get away fr. in the monotony of a
country village, and aboard a first
class passenger car to go whirling
on, *' over hill and dale,” to the
great centers of trade and com
merce, where everybody seems to
be f ull of life and energy.
We had never had the pleasure,
until this trip, of riding on the
Air-Line Hoad, and we were
pleased to find the road in good
condition, for a new road over a
broken Country, and her passenger
cars well lifted up. Having uet
a number of acquaintances on the
train, we were enjoying ourselves
finely, when suddenly the train
(as we thought) stopped. We
did not see any depot, nor any
particular occasion for stopping
right there in a big cut; but, as we
were uot running the concern, did
not, trouble ourselves much about
that,supposing t hat somebody wan
ted to put aboard a dozen eggs, a
peck of peaches or an old rooster
or two, to glut the Atlanta market
It turned out that by some acci
dent, the lear portion of the train
had become uncoupled fiom the
flout, leaving our car standing on
the track. We were in the hind
most car, but near the door. All
at cnee wc noticed all the people
iii the otln r end of the car jump
tip and commence running through
towards the front door; some were
pale as death —all were excited.
We did not know what was the
matter, but as it appeared to be
fatdiiona'de to g.-t out of that car in
a hurry, concluded we would tol
low tbe fashion. Wc got on the
platform. Somebody said “jump, ’’
but it was unnecessary to have
said tha>, we had either to jump
cfl or be knocked off by the crowd.
We made a good jump, landing in
the cut, “right side up, with care.’’
Wc, then, for the first time, under
stood the situation A wood train
was coming right down upon us
under good hea 1-wav. We could
distinctly hear the clank, clank,
clank of the train right around
the curve—i collision was inevi
table. \\ e hail read of collisions
—of an engine mounting a train
and crushing it in—of broken !
arms and legs, and bodies crushed
until they could not be recognized
by their friends. We had never
had any ambition to be pub ished as
a victim of a railroad collision, and
therefore concluded that “distance
lends enchainment to the view ;**
in fact, we ‘ accepted the situa
tion,” and left without ceremony.
(Jere came the crowd —ladies,
gentlemen and children. Ugw
they all got out of the cars so
quit k, wc arc .re not prepared to
say. Some got out at the dooi s—
some came through the windows
One large gentleman attemptod to
go through a window head fore
most. lie had not estimated the
size of that window, and he got
about half way through, and there
he hung; to get back was about
as difficult as to go through. An
Atlanta lawyer, concluding that
in the cut was about as dangerous
as aboard the ears, and atb mpted
to climb the perpendicular bank,
but the law of gravitation is still
in force, and the print of his fin
gers and knees may yet be seen in
the soft dirt. Then came the
crash “Nobody hurt;" some
few complained of slight bruises.
The collision was over. The en
gine of the wood train and some
of the cars were damaged. The
engineer had checked the speed of
the train, which prevented further
injury. We were soon on om way
to the Gate City, where wc arrived
at about schedule time.
Atlanta continues to gvow. Her
streets, even at this dull season
of the year, present evidence of
life and business. We noticed a
number of new buildings which
are being ereited. J. II James is
building a handsome brick busi
ness house on Whitehall street,
near the railroad c-iossing. We
saw the Kimball House! bat can’t
say, with one of old, “ now let
thy servant depart in peace.”
Rome is a thriving little city,
situated at the junction of the
Oustanaula and Etawah rivers,
which form the Coosa, and upon
the line of the Selma, Home and
Dalton Railroad, and surrounded
by beautiful valleys, spreading
out as fai as the eye can reach.
It is a fine farming country, pecu
j liarly adapted to the cereals and
! grasses. They have, however,
i this year, had a protracted drouth,
which has literally burnt up their
j crops. We iiave never before
seen, in Georgia, crops so com
pletely runed by drouth. We
saw some upland fields where the
stalk appeared to be completely
! dead and dry, and the fodder
| withered. Even on bottom land,
! cose to the bank of the river, we
j noticed that the tassels in some
i fields were dead, and especially
was this true where the land had
not been well cultivated. Those
!of the citizens with whom we
talked did tot appear as dcapon
! dent as we expected to find them
We were informed that this drouth
did not extend far, but only a
few miles on each side there had
been refreshing rains.
We visited the foundry ol
the Messrs. Noble, situated near
the depot, and were surprised to
find it so extensive We were
informed that two-thirds of the
car-wheels used in the States of
! Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee
were manufactured here. They
employ about one hundred and
twenty-five hands daily, and turn
out about one hundred and twen
ty-five kegs of nails per day, and
expect shortly to increase the
amount to two hundred kegs. We
had never seen a nail made before,
and were astonished at the rapid
ity with which it was done. One
of the tniployees imfornied us
lie could make one hundred# and
sixty to the minute, 'fhc iron
manufactured here sells for ten
dollars per ton more than any iron
in the United States. This is the
way to achieve Southern iude
pendenec.
We tender our thanks to Mr.
James Noble and family for their
kind attention to us while in the
city.
Our acknowledgements are also
due to the enterprising Editors ol
the Commercial for an invitation
to make our headquarters at their
office, we regret that other engage
incuts prevented our accepting.

Supreme Court decisions.
We published, in a late issue, a
decision of the Supreme Court,
holding that the act ol 1870, re
quiring affidavits in cases origi- \
nating before June, 1865, wascon
stitu Jonah
In a recent decision, the Court ,
in the case of Ordinary for the use
of E. H. Worrel vs. H. and C. Ad
ams, held, that where a debt had
been contracted in 1858, and was
reduced to judgment in 1867, for
about $2,600, and the plaintiff has
filed his affidavit that he had paid
all taxes chargeable by law up to
1865, lor which year his tax was
assessed thereon. That in 1866
and 1867 he gave in said debt at
what he believed to l>c its market
value, to wit: SI,OOO, and paid
the tax thereon. I hat since 1867, 1
he did not give in and pay tax on
the debt, because it was no longer
a solvent debt and ceased to have
a market value: and yet the Court
held that the plaintiff had com
plied with the requirements of
said set as to the payment of taxes
and filing the affidavit as prescrib
cd. We must confess that we are
somewhat surprised at this deci
| sion, and fully agree with Judge
Warner, that if the act is consti
; tutional, neitherits letter nor spirit
had been complied with.
We give below several decision

on contracts made before the Ist
of June, 1865, applies also to pend

ON TO ROME!
A Few Dots by the Way.
Mr. Editor —On the morning of
the 7th, I, with a few friends, at peep
of daylight, started for the railroad
at. Duluth, en route for the State
Agricultural Convention, to assemble
at Home on the next day.
Under cluck and whip we reached
Duluth in good time for the 8 o’clock
train, after passing over very rough
roads, and with many a jolt inean
wh’le.
It was my first visit to the new
town. I had often been to Howell’s
Cros. Roads, but before a town and
a railroad were ever dreamed of at
that place, or in that section.
Soon we were wending our way on
' ward over the Air-Line, and reached
the thriving town of Noreross, where
we were joined by a number of per
sons for the same destination.
After passing from the latter place
a few miles, we encountered a little
mishap ; and a scene ensued, which
you, being a par,y and a participant,
will no doubt give your readers an
account of, and 1 will tut. But
don’t forget to say bow “the man of
the tripod," with others, use! their
legs in trying to get oin of harm’s
way, and how you all charged over
each other, pell-mell—some thiough
the door, and others through the
windows, in such hot haste! And
don’t say that the few that held on
were too badly scared to run!
After this “ hair-breadth escape,”
we reached Atlanta s ife, and found
the city all agog with delegates for
the Convention.
On the next morning an extra
train was provided by Gov. Brown
to convey us to the city of Rome;
and soon we were underway in grand
! style—Gov. B. beintr one of the
I - °
party.
j We were forcibly impressed with
the change for the hotter, on this
road, since last January, when we
i traveled it It was then under Blodg
ett. His subordinates were arrogant,
insulting, and indifferent to the com
-1 fort of the passengers. Now they
are attentive and polite, and every
thing in fine trim.
I know nothing about the lease,
except what I have seen in the news
papers; hut, as a citizen of the State,
I am satisfied with it, and have no
douht it is the best arrangement that
could be made for the interest of the
State.
Gov. Brown is the man to control
it. He has everything in trim ; his
subordinates are polite and attentive,
and he pays $25,000 monthly into
the State Treasury, while Blodgett
paid nothing for many months, and,
it was said, was incurring debts
against the State in running it.
Upon our arrival at Rome, many
of the piivate houses were thrown
open to the delegates.
Your correspondent had the good
fortune to be assigned to Judge Me
Guire, who is a gentleman of taste
and generous hospitality. We ten
der to the Judge and his estimable
lady our hearty acknowledgements
; for their kin I ness to us.
We met a number of our old
| Gwinnett county friends who live in
| Rome, and our greetings with most
of them were cordial and refreshing.
It carried us hack in memory to
other days, when we woie younger
and happier. The pleasure of our
meeting seemed mutual. To me, it
was most gratifying. I always feel
, proud of our Gwinnett bovs who
have removed to other sections, if
j they do weil, and don't get above their
raising! If they do, I have a con
tempt for them ! A man of sense j
never becomes “stuck up." It dis
closes puppyism, which 1 despise!
This, 1 know, is a family failing
with some people. If they ate per
mitted to live in a city, associate with !
respectable people,Took thiough glass ;
windows, and drink out of glass turn- i
biers instead of cups, they become \
wise in their ow n conceits—self-in
flated and fools!
The Convention was an able one,
and reflected credit on the fanning ,
population of our State. Much gomf, j
we trust, will result to our ngricul- j
tural interest, and an impetus given
to it that shall be beneficial to this j
great interest.
V\ e left Rome on the morning of
the 11th, much pleased with our
visit—with a hope to see the beauti*
ful “City of the Hills" again when
occasion and fortune may favor us.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, July 24.
A Brilliant Achievement.
Between the hour* of 4 and 11 i
a m., yesterday, the Ohio and Mis
sissippi Railroad (main liue) from
Cincinnati to St Louis was trails
formed from a broad gauge to a nar
row gauge. In seven lion s, 2,500
men reduced the gauge of 340 miles
of railroad fifteen inches—seven and
a half inches on each side. Even to 1
those actually engaged in the work
this seemed an impossibility. Up to
1 o’clock yesterday morning, broad
gauge trains were rushing over the
road, east and west, seeking yards
from which they were never to roll
again on the wide trucks ot Ills past.
By ll o’clock, a. M., yesterday
new engines, drawing the wide par.or
cars mounted on narrow trucks, were
traversing the entire length es the
transformed road.
How this change was accmplished
we will endeavor to explain as clearly
as possible. The road was divided
into sixiy eight sections, of five miles
each ; and an average force of forty
men to the section —2,720 men in
the 340 miles—was secured to jump
to the work simultaneously, at all
points on the road, at daybreak yes
lerday. All along the line between
this city and East St. Louis these
working gangs commenced at day
light yesterday. Each section gang
was divided into two parties that
worked toward ea h other from the
extreme points of their five miles,
aiming to meet at the middle, making
[ two and one-half miles to each twen
ty men. Thus the time occupied by
forty average workers in changing
I five miles would he the time devoted
to the whole work by the entire force.
Our observations of this vast hut
quick work were made by special
train from this city to Seymour. A
big, new freight engine, No. 100, run
by N. Robeson, and drawing a post
office ca' 1 and a drawing room car,
conveyed T. D. Lovett, Chief Engi
neer of the entire line ; T. Van Name,
Superintendent of the Eastern and
Louisville divisions ; A. Hayward,
chief opeator, Vincennes office, and
our reporter. The men on the first
section worked west from the city
and east from the ancient an 1 re
nowned stink factory of the great
and only Si Keck, meeting opposite
D. Thew Wright’s residence at 7:40
a. m. Ai that point, Mr. Hayward—
the train having slowly followed the
men working west —tapped the wire
and telegraphed the time of the com
pletion of the section to both this
; city and St. Louis. Even at that
early-hour reports of the completion
of sections were being telegraphed
from many points west. The Os
good sect.on was reported finished at
7, A. M.
Details of the work : The task of
the day was to move tLe tails inward
7£ inches on each side and spike
i them firmly in their new place— alto
gether 680 miles of rails of the main
i line, besides many miles of switches,
with their frogs. Already, in the
course of two months of easy work,
the now lines for the rails on both
sides had b en fixed by the driving
of the inside spikes, under the tops
of which the inside “ web ” or shank
of th* rail could he immediately fitted.
Many miles of the new rails, which
it was thought necessary to lay at
the curves on the outside had already
been put down, rendering it unneces
sary to immediately move the old
outside rails. The “ dentists,” as they
' might appropriately be called, two
on each side, led the van with their
big claw levers, jerking out the inside
spikes of the broad gauge. After
them, two on each 6ide also, came
the “ liners,” whose business it was
to push the rails inward to the new
lii.es, and “ line up ” the rails firmly,
while the squad of “ spikers ” that
follwed drove the spikes firmly in
over each ” web,” on about every
other tie, leaving the completion of
the spiking to be accomplished in
a more leisurely mnner.
Our reporter vouches for the active
and energetic work of such squads
as he had an opportunity to observe
in their operations. They made a
full mile to the hour, each squad fol
lowed by a band car beaiing tools
| and by boys who c.a.ried buckets ol
water for them. One following these.
‘ men and watching their woik closely
would have to step out briskly at
times to keep up with them. Their
| progress seemed almost incredible as
they pushed forward with constantly
rising and falling mauls and the in
cessant ring ot continuous blows on
spikes and rails. At a distance from
them the metalic click, click, cii k,
that rang from the shifting rails was
caught up by the iron lines far ahead
seemed to come from under the earth,
making a perfect acoustic illusion! ;
The reader will bear in miud that |
with the Fish joint the rails form J
a continuous line, and were shifted in
that form, the work of the “ liners ”
being directed first ou the joints and
then at the middle of the rails. '
Looking ahead over a space not
yet completed by the laborers, there
could always be seen a strip of the
old gauge suddenly narrowing into
the new.
The majority of the men thus em
ployed at 25 cents per hour seemed
to partake of the spirit of the occa
siou, and to work with enthusiasm
as well as for pay. They seemed to
realize that they were engaged as ac
tors in one of the greatest transfor
mation scenes cf the age. A scene
at Delhi will suffice to illustrate. In
one of the gangs working to ajnnc
lion tiiere was a small, rat her slim
Irishman, who seemed possessed of
the genius of energy, lie kept iliree
or four men on the keen jump to fol
low him in adjusting a frog and
switch, lie was very dirty and quite
slimy with perspiration, and his
hands were bleeding fiom several
rough cuts received in the work.
Looking up and noticing a squad
of men stealing a moment’s rest, he
was completely overcome. “ Luck at
thim Infers,” said he, l ‘d—n ’em,
they’ll nicer need to change their
gauge; they’re small enuf now ”
and awav lie went to help “ lines up
dose ” ahead. The work from Cin
cinnati to Osgood, as reported by
Road-master Burke, was all completed
by nine o'clock.
Attempted Murder.— About 9
o’clock, Monday night, near the junc
tion of Marietta and Walton streets,
Mr. J. G Clark, familiarly known
as “ Dick CliirK,” a conductor on the
Atlanta and West Point Railroad,
was attacked by Taylor and W. A.
Turner, and Charles F. Elliott, a
brother in-law to the Turners. Mr.
Clark was hit by two bullets, one in
the aim and the other through the
lungs. Clark is now lying in a very
critical condition, and the chances
for his recovery is said to he by his
attending physicians, decidedly bad.
At an investigation of the case had
before Justice Butt ye-tarday morn
ing (lie ] arties were refused bail, and
committed to ja 1 to await the issue
of Mr. Clark s wounds.
Miss Mmnie Turner, a sister of the
Turners, named above, and deeply
implicated i:i til's murderous attempt,
was up, and hail in her case was of
fered at $2,500 until next Saturday,
at which time the parties are to have
imo 1 her hearing.
Until after that time we shall re
train from giving further particulars
of tliis affair. It has created consul*
able excitement and talk, and many
rumors are afloat as to how it all oc
curred, and the cause, etc.
As above stated Mr. Claik is \ery
dangerously wounded, and hut little
hopes are entertained of his recov
ery. —Atlanta Sun.
A Bloody Tragedy. —The Savan
nah Republican says: “We learn
from parties who arrived in the city/
yesterday from Bulloch county, tl*e
following particulars of a very nirfs
terious tragedy which occurred atshe
residence of Mr. Joseph Davis, in
that county : About 3 o’clock
Wednesday mc-nii.g the inmateskof
of Mr. Davis’ house were alarmed
by the screams of his wife (Mrs:
Davis). Her sister ran to the room
and found Mrs. Davis sitting on the
bed. As soon as she entered the
room Mrs. Davis said : ‘ I am bleed
ing to death ; run out and call some
of the neighbors,’ after which she
sank down on the bed a lifeless
corpse. On examination it was found
that some one had cut her throat,
and from the nature of the wound it
is thought that it was inflicted with
a pocket knife, which was afterwards
found in a tub of water in the yard. At
the time that the wound was inflicted,
Mrs. Davis was sleeping in bed with
her two little children. Her husband
was off from home on a fishing frolic,
and the sad news of this tragedy was
as startling as it was unexpected. 1
No one can account for the diabolical
outrage, nor can it he even surmised !
who was, the cowardly perpetrator !
of this damnable crime, the perfor !
niance of which should have made
the very worst fiend blush for shame. j
We learn that steps have been taken
to ferret out the murderer, and we j
hope that the effort will he success
ful, and that the guilty party, if dis- i
covered will he brought to immediate
condign punishment.”— Constitution
