M It is exceedingly difficult, says tho Nor folk Argus, te get at the quantity of oysters taken from the different porta from Virginia: but from numberless enquiries in every di rection, we are justified in affirming that 4.0Q0.000 go to New York city and vi- 1 entity, 2,000,000 to same to Phil adelphia 4 Baltimore, and 4,000,000 to eth er places, making in all 18,000,000 bushels.” It b estimated that the free people of the Unted states expend for oyster* every year, •bout fifty four millions of dollars.

Without regard to *iILLI Wc art Informed by tha last Bsdobridge Argus that tUb subscribers of stock in Daca ter county to tho Mala Trank Railroad, a! jaoat without exception, came*forward and l paid *p the first instalment Os twenty per cent called for by the proper officers of t|e company. We are truly gratified to hear this, as rumor bad created the impression upon the minds of some of our people, that there would be trouble among the stock hol ders in that county. The editor after ma king the above atatqjpmit, concludes that: M Wc are determined to maintain a position far in advance of both Thotnai and Lowndes united, in this enterprise, and folly demon strate that if wa do not possess wealth, we ean botfrt of men of spirit and enterprise, on whom the public can tely with confidence wlien they ore called upon to loos* their purse strings in behalf of their aeelion. Our pres ent subscription far surpasses that of both the Railroad counties of Thomas and Lowndq#, and In another twelve months will double it if they do not do more than they have ever yet done for any Railroad.—not conditional notes or public resolve* and good wishes. Nearly six hundred thousand dol lars is yet to be raised, and Decatur will subscribe and pan more than fifty thousand of it, and a hundred thousand if necessary.” We an also highly pleased with this an nouncement, and sincerely hope that the cit isent of Decatur will sustain Mr. Rnsaell in making it. Tho italics, however, nsed in reference te 1 Thomas and Lowndes, as Railroad counties, { show* that the editor intended to let off a little sarcasm at our oxpense. Thomas and Lowndoa took a large amount of stock in the Brunswick and Florida Rail road, and although the stock notes were con-1 ditional, yet they were given in good faith,! and with the full expectation of ■ paying them. Our people’ desire vory much to in crease their subscriptions to the Main Trunk road, and they have made repeated efforts to get up these conditional notes in order tlmt they might feel safe in doing ao. A meeting of tlie citizens of this county, or at least such as had given their notea, was held in thia place very recently, and appointed a committee to demand them of Mr. Wheeler the President of the Brunswick road, and he rcfhsed to deliver them up. Notwithstand these difficulties we do not doubt but that tho counties of Thomas and Lowndes will do their duty in this regard, and we repent, that we are happy to learn that Decatur stands ready to lead them. The early .com pletion of tho Atlantic dc. Golf Railroad is whnt wo ail desire, and in which we are all deeply interested, and it ia to be hoped that every citizen who lias the means to help at all, will put hi- shoulder to the wheel and push on the great and glorious work. Written for tha Wire-Grans Reporter. >r thi main tromx. Mb. Editor :—ln your issue of tha 26th iiist* there appears a communication signed Justice in which the writer proposes to dis place Messrs. Young, Stapler, & Mclntyre, fiom the directory of the Atlantic &. Gulf Road—their places to bo supplied with Messrs. M. B. Jones, J. T. Hays, foe. The abbreviation, dec., it is supposed stands for Justice himself. It is alledged they “all have landed interests bordering the Florida line,” and are therefore untrustworthy and ineompetent to manage the great interests involved in the location of the road. Judg ing others from the standpoint of his own narrow heart, he lias no idea that gentlemen will be governed by pure and honorable mo tives from considerations above and beyond tbeir individual interests. If lam not mis taken in Justice, he has been tha uncompro mising enemy of the Main Trunk through out—did all be could to defeat ita organisa tion—and hinder the release by the Bruns wick Company. Notwithstanding he lives about midway thia “ air line” and owns much “l.mded interest” with valuable water privi leges, and considers the charter “some de gree a favor by the State,” yet, he has never subscribed a tfoltar towards Tt.” A proper person, surely, ia he, to criticise its manage ment and dictate its location. If those as sailed have not,during the last twelve months, accomplished all that was desired or expect ed, they have at least been inetrumental in ■aving the country from the swindle attemp ted by the Brunewick Company. Mr. Editor, inasmuch as the communica tion of Justice contains, without legitimate excuse or valiod pretext, an unmanly insinu ation touching the motives—a mean asper sion of the ‘hbnor of tbe Directors mention- j ed, tbe “hope” you express in their be half is considered altogether gratuitous, at least by the undersigned. J. R. StaplbT January Slat, 1858. taaarks on tht Above. ‘ Wv have been puzzled to know whpt to do w ith the concluding sentence in the above communication, inasmuch as it contains evi dence of a feeling towards tho aditor which was not looked for, and which never coiild have found a lodgment in Mr, Stapler’s brqast, had he not been stuug to the quick from another amtreo. There has been a time when we differed from Mr. Stapler iu regard to our railroad interests, but the time has never been when, wo did not consider him a high-toned, honorable gentleman, and we believed— a friend. We are astonished, therefore, to find that be has seized upon a single word to take of fence, and given to it signification never in tended byi us. We have not the particle of interest in the location of the Main Trunk road through Lowndes county, and do not desire, nor will we be mixed up in any controversy in regard to, or springing out of it. *M. Editors—l notice hi your issue of Jwn. 26th, that a writer over the signature of . Juqtiee with! conceive, morrf spleen than reason, in the frill grown exuberance of hit! 1 zeal pro bono publico has thought proper to indulge in severs strictures involving the’ good faith and integrity of three of the.di i rectors of tho Main Trunk road as unjust and uncharitable aa it is ill-timed. Ido not denyTe Justice, nor soy one else, the right to bia or tboir own private opinions,bat where these opinions are expressed through the me dium of a public paper alleging that merito rious and honorable gentlemen, while assum ing to serve tbe public are acting but fsem motives of selfishness, and with a view alone to personal interest, tbe ungenerous imputation should be met and unsparingly hurled back upon him who so unwisely makes it. I own no stock in this company arid may never do sd. Neither do I desire to appear aa the eulogist of the gentlemen assailed,and I regret that tbe necessity has arisen which renders a defence of these gentlemen right and proper, by all who have not foiled to ap preciate their action or to acknowledge the self sacrificing devotion manifested by them in their untiring efforts to forward the best interest of the community in which onr com mon lot line been cast for weal or wo, their office has been no sinecure—they have acted ‘by a commendable public spirit and a noble | pride,been the active agents in procuring the stock apportioned for the county, without j which tbe company could not havobeen or ■ ganized. They Lave regardless of tbe sacri fice of timo and money made repeated trips j to differeut and distant points of the country 1 for the sole and worthy purpose of securing this mighty boon. They do not receive onr dollar from their office, aniT one of tbemait least made himself a martyr to our cause by subscribing evcrydnllar demanded from the couiity, and without knowing that his action 1 would find, as it hag done, a response in the feetihgs of a generous public, and yet, oh, fief or shame! our sapient friend. Justice sagely advises a withdrawal of confidence and the removal of these directors. And why 1 Simply because better understanding the interest of a work for which they stand pledged, they wisely council and recommend a location of the road upon a line that will prevent future taxation reimburse the State and pay a larger dividend than any other. W ho ia it understanding the geography of the country outside of his own potatoe patch, that docs not know that the nearer the Flor ida line the road can.be-located the better it will be for its interests, embracing a tract of ! country that will socure tbe varied produc tions of the fertile lands.of Hamilton, Mad ison, Jefferson, and Leon counties, that Tiow - make and ship more cotton than the whole belt of country from Thomas to Savannah contemplated by tho nir line. It wonld far ther inflict a deathblow upon the project of a ■ central road through Florida, securing teem ■ ing thousands that, wonld otherwise, in the ’ course of time find, a transit to a different i point upon the Atlantic. One of the great 1 difficulties ill the plan of adjustment be -1 tween the Bruuswick and Savannah Cornpa- I uies was that of branching privileges. A 10-1 1 cation of the road at or near the Florida line 1 would obviato thnt entire difficulty,and cause 1 our neighboring State to do whal flic com pany would have to do if the road was loca -1 ted forty or fifty aides from the line. Florida 1 would build her own branches sooner than see rival towns built up along her line for the benefit of Georgians. I trust sir, that Justice will at onece with ’ draw his offensive charge and concede the tact.thnt these gentlemen as directors have ’ been patriotic, and influenced by a desire to ’ do neither more nor less than right, i *■ Truth.

Washington, Fob. 2. —The message of the President,, accompanying the, Lecompton Constitution’ was read before Congress to day. The President says great delusion prevails about the condition of parties in Kansas. He recapitulates the history of past affairs—pro nounces the Topeka government a usurpation —and declares it impossible that any people could have proceeded with more regularity than the people of Kansas in the formation of the Lecompton Constitution. The Conven tion of June last was a propitious moment to settle all difficulties in the Territory, but the Topekeiteß suffered ihe e.Uictiao to go by de fault, henco they have no light to compla n. The Lecompton Convention was legally con stituted aud invested with power to frame a Constitution, iwhicli it did, and submitted the question to the people of Kansas, whether Kanans&liould be a free or a slave State. The President believes that under the or ganic act the Convention was bouud to sub mit this all important question to the people. And they did so, and again the refused to participate in tire elections At the election for State officers, oil the 4th of January, a wiser spirit prevailed, and the vote was much larger. The people of Kansas have, therefore, in strict eonforlftity with the organic act’ framed a Constitution for their State Government, and submitted the slavery question to the people,—elected their State officers—and now ask admission into the Union under this Constitution. The President is decidedly in favor of the admission of Kansas, thus terminating the ex citement of the Kansas question by trauquil izing its distracting influences. Asa question of expediency even, Kansas should be admitted; inasmuch as it would re store quiet to the Union and prosperity to the Territory and to the people of Kansas. The ouiy practical difference between its admission and rejection is, whether they can more speedily change their present Constitu tion or frame a second one, to be submitted to Congress. It should never be forgotten that in pro portion to the insignificance of the slave ques tions as affecting the few thousand inhabit ants of Kansas, the fourteen Slaves States will fool tbe rejection of tho Constitution keenly. % When Kansas is admitted, the excitement becomes trnnquilized and r#*<lily cools off, end the troops can be withdrawn. | Tbe President concludes by declsring as his conscientious belief that the dark clouds now over the Union can be dispelled by tbe admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, $r darkeued by its rejection. | THK KA*THQtTAKK AT NAPLES, A correspondent eff the Lendftß Daily News, writing from Naples, gives a vivid doa crlptiou of the recent earthquake wjpeh threatened to destroy that city : #’ •• I was writing,” sayalie, ‘ when the ta ble began to shake violently, the lamp to rock, and the bells of tlifliouse to ring a* if they had been pulled by.a strong hand T— . walls of iny room, too, visibly i w r vctl backwards and forwards, and crackdd as might a boat straining heavily at sea. I*re could be as to the cause of these awful phenomena, and I rushed out of my house. There had already been two shocks up to this time; then came a third, so strong that l thought that the house would bat e fallen and buried mo in its ruins. Some wo men were seated on the ground, and, in near ly a faulting state, leaning agaiNst the wall, to whose movements they yielded, rocked backwards and forward#,.as in a cradle. By this time people were escaping rapidly into tbe streets,-and making inquiries as to each other’s experience. Every one came to look at Vesuvius, but the mountain gave little comfort; it throw out but little fire, and seemed sulky and gloomy, llie street#, were full of anxious, trembling persons,some half-dressed, some in their skirts, some wrap ped up in sheets or blankets, and some in the gay dresses in which they had escaped from tbe drawing room or the the theatre. All the piazzas were full of carriiges, which were occupied by families who had abandon ed their houses. At every hundred steps, fires were lighted, round which wore bivou acked from fifty to one hundred persons of all ranks. A painter might have found wonderful studies, lUm had been so inclin ed ; but, alas! otheWPiouglits were upper most. Leaving the Riviera di Chiaja, I went into the city, and found there the same state of excitement to exist. 1 lie palace yard, the Largo Gastello, and other ojien places, were full of carriages, in which their inmates were reposing for the night. Hun dreds of persons were couched oil the steps of the churches, and later in the night, the images of file saints were earried in process ion, whilst the people sang litanies. As the houses were, in many instances, left vacant, the refuse of the population, who are always ready, in times of anxiety, to profit by the fears of the more timid, began to create con fusion, in order to rob. Republican cries were raised of ‘ Ft cat Tomesi,” and many houses were entered. Strong patrols, tbere- Tore, of the police gendannit and military paraded the streets, and much praise is due to the authorities for maintaining order.— Most of the population passed the night in streets, and the next day brought with it the same wonderful summer-like weather that we hare had,for the last two or three months. During the day great anxiety prevailed amongst fbe provincials to know to what ex tent their families might have suffered, and , the telegraph office was so beseiged that a sentinel was placed before it, to prohibit all ’ persons from entering. On walking through the Toledo, crowds were assembled, looking at the fissures that had been made in some ! of the lofty houses. The monastery oPtbc Jessits gave similar indications of the ter rors of the proceeding nigli.t, and“Dwas t >ld that the great bell had been rung by the shock.” ■ ‘ SENATE BILL TO INCREASE THE ARMY. Mr. Toombs gave tbe reasons why be op posed the increase of tbe army. There was no need of it on account of Indian hostilities, for there had not been an embodiment of In dians in this country for twenty-five years past that was capable of fighting two thou sand men. .tvs for Mormon troubles, he (i?emed it ridiculous to suppose that Brigham Young was able to compete with three thou sand United States troops; and therefore no necessity existed for an increase on that score. He alluded to the remarks made yesterday by Messrs. Iverson and Chandlci, the former of whom had said that had it not been for the troops the abolitionists in Kansas would have been exterminated, and the latter thinking that suclr would have been the fate of the border ruffians from Missouri. Mr. T. said he would not enter any- controversy up on that subject, hut that he would not vote to give a single man for the purpose of main taining the peace of Kansas, whoever might ‘hold the power there. The history of forty centuries had demonstrated tiiat order main tained by regular soldiers was despotism ; a peace which was only maintained by the use of the army was the cemetery of liberty. He would maintain peace in Kau -as on no such terms; he would have order thereat no 6uch cost. If freemen could not maintain peace among themselves, they were unworthy to ‘exercise self government; they were not fit to bo freemen. A regular army had always been the instrument of despotism ; and there was not a despotic government in Europe to day which could stand ninety days without it. He proceeded to allude to the increasing cost o f the army/- When Mr. Callioun was Secretary of War, he brought down the ex penses of tho army to $273 per man; now, estimating only the legitimate expenses of the army, they amount to more than SI,OOO per man each year. He was opposed to the soldiery, except so far as was absolutely ne cessary for tho common defence. ‘l'lie last soldiers that were seen in Georgia came there to help the Indians against the whites ; and he hoped that jhe sole of the foot of another federal soldier would never iigniu press the soil of Georgia. FIRE IN ROME. v ’ By an extra from the office of the Couri er &. Statesman, we loarn that a fire occurred in that city on the afternoon of'Fridny last, whiclf destroyed an entire square, including the Exchange Building and Post Office,some twenty Stores and Offices, and involving a loss estimated at seveuty-five thousand dol- Among the offices destroyed, we are sorry to see that Os the Rome Southerner and Advertiser. The fire originated in the middle of the squard and spread both ways, wholly, as appears, from the want of means Vnd appliances to arrest it. There was no j Fire Engine or even a Hook and ladder p ---! paratus in town. The citizens, however, ; were fortunately . able to confine the fire to the single square, although buildings on the opposite side of the street, (among them the Choice Hotel,) frequently caught from the intense heat of the conflagration. By** letter from a friend, we learn that most of tbe goods were carried out into the street, and many ol them there consumed or greatly damaged. He further states, that, with a single exception, the buildings burned were insured. —Journal If Messenger. - later Frans Europe. ~. arrival of the ; EBIN3UBG. New Yore, Feb. 4.

CHAWTORD’B EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF WASH INGTON The Richmond Dispatch of Tuesday, says: The equestrian statue of Washington was yesterday unveiled ; and at once presented to the eyes of the assemblage present per haps the grandest work of the kind in the world! The criticisms suggested by tbe outlines ot the figure when sewed tip, at onee banished like mist before the sun, and ono and all united in sentiment that there could not be a grander conception, or one more beautifully and completely executed. It is a great triumph of art, and every beholder deplored that untimely death of the great genius who conceved it, by which he - ’ was denied the ioy of witnessing the elevation of the statue and hearing the exultant praises of the multitude. As Virginian*, ns American*, we are proud of tills great work of genius—this master specimen of the Sculptor's art. We have no time, nor language to express our ad miration for it. It will become celebrated all over the world, and men will innkc pil grimages to this city to behold it—at once to do homage to the memory of the greatest and'beat of men, and to offer a tribute to one of the noblest achievements of genius.
