SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1869
THE PORT ROYAL RAILROAD.
"We have been informed by those who
are disposed to speak on the subject that
the building of the Port Royal Railroad
may now be looked upon as a substantially
settled problem. It is thought, too, by
competent judges that an early completion
of this line will do more to revive the en
ergies and prosperity of our beautiful city
and the State at large than all other indus
tries of the same character. It will give
to shippers three outlets to the North and
Europe. It will secure to us direct trade
with the old world by first class steamers.
It will woo to our State much of the immi
gration that now goes Westward. Immigra
tion will cause land .to appreciate, and in
creased cultivation will produce increased
wealth. The exports of the South in 1867
amounted to $328,000,000, while those of
the North were only $243,000,000. This
estimate demonstrates that 9,000,000 of
Southerners brought more money to
the country than 24,000,000 of North
erners. When pondering upon the superior
advantages this section has over that of
the North, our people should be stimu
lated to make these blessings still more
abundant. Our great want is immigration—
skilled labor of all kinds to build up our
factories, to cultivate our scil, to develop
opr mints an'l to set all the wheels of in
dustry humm ng the busy songs of trade.
This immigration is promised us by the
completion of the Port Royal Railroad. —
The harbor of Port Royal is the best, we
believe, on the Southern coast. It could
float such giants of the deep as the Great
Eastern. It is so spacious that the navies
of the world can easily and safely ride at
anchor on its bosom. The perils of navi
gation are so few that pilotage is almost
unnecessary. These are eminent advantages
and just such as the South lias long needed
for her proper development. The completion
of this line will open up a direct communi
. cation between the Northwest and Europe
for the shipment of grain, and the importa
tion of dry goods, hardware, etc. It will
be a shorter and cheaper route from St.
Louis to Europe than any rival road. Our
own Georgia Railroad must be benefited
by this road when finished. The intelli
gent directors of this company are alive to
the prospect presented of not only aug
menting the revenues of their splendid line
but also of making it the Grand Trunk for
freights between St. Louis, New York and
the lands beyond the sea. The Port Royal
Road will also enable the Georgia Road to
control a business which has hitherto
eluded its etforts to secure. Indeed,
the more sanguine anticipate that in
less than a year after the Port
Royal Road shall have been in opera
tion, the stock of the Georgia Road will
touch 120. Again: when the Port Royal
Road shall become an accomplished fact, it
is known that all the lines between St.
Louis and the ocean terminus will agree
to transport immigrants at about $lO per
passenger when in parties of fifty or
more. This liberal arrangement will, it is
hoped, cause many immigrants for the
West to pass this way. It is believed that
numbers of these, attracted by our hospita
ble climate and cheap and fertile lands, will
consent to stay with ns rather than push
on to the remote and inclement West. If
the proper inducements are offered, it can
not be doubted that many will remain who
would, if neglected, pass us by and con
tribute to the wealth of our neighbors.
Coincidental with the completion of the
Port Royal Road we cap reasonably count
npon the opening of the Macon and Augusta
line. This will expose the magnificent
planting region of Southwestern Georgia,
and give the people of that section another
line to Europe and the North, and one which
will be well patronized by them in their
shipments of cotton to foreign countries
and importation of such goods as they may
require. 1
Such are some of the prime arguments
that must have induced the directors of the
Georgia Road to favor the route to the
ocean by Port Royal. Let us trust that
they have not been overrated and miscon
ceived ; and let us, above all, hope that
Augusta will be greatly favored by the
proposed undertaking which promises so
much.
While such representations as the above
come from those who advocate the cause
of the Road, it is but just to say that some
opposition has arisen. The grounds of ob
jection were forcibly given by “ Stockholder ,”
in yesterday’s Constitutionalist. His
views are such as might have had weight
in the old days; but they will probably
make but feeble impression upon what is
called the “progressive era.” The war
seems to have changed everything, and
to have revolutionized railroad as well
as political systems. The stature must
decide upon the wisdom or the folly of
tills revolution. It may be that Augus
ta and the Georgia Railroad will reap but
paltry returns for any outlay in support of
this new enterprise; but the tide of popu
lar opinion runs decidedly in its favor, and
it will be a hard task to convince the ma
jority that they are going beyond their
depth. Meanwhile, we presume that Stock
holder's comiminicaxion will evoke a reply
from a quarter as much concerned in push
ing the road as Stockholder is in arresting it.
The National Intelligencer , whose demise
was announced in the Sun last Friday, was
started in 1800, in Washington, on the ruins
of a paper translated to that city, and once
known as the Independent Gazetteer. The
Intelligencer theu belonged to Mr. Harrison
Smith. In 1807 Mr. Joseph Gales secured
an interest, and in 1810 Mr. Smith left the
firm, and Mr. Gales, becoming sole proprie
tor, took into partnership his bi-other-in
law, William Wington Seaton. In January,
of 1818, the Intelligencer was first issued
daily. For eight years subsequently Gales
and Seaton were both editors and reporters
of their papers, and may be fairly credited
with being the patriarchs of Congressional
reporting. One of them attended the House
and €he other the Senate, and both received
marked courtesies from the officers of those
bodies. For twelve years one of the Intelli
gencer's editors, Mr. Seaton, remained Mayor
of Washington City, and rarely has ever an
elected officer been so complimented. The
Intelligencer's “Register of Debates” was
once a high authority in politics, and the
Intelligencer itself has, for nearly half a
century, maintained a position of staid
respectability.
Killing. — We learn from the Huntsville
Independence (says the Montgomery Adver
tiser) th&t a fatal affray took place at Paint
Rock, at a Masonic procession. Two des
peradoes, Whettecon brothers, attempted to
Woodall. A fight ensued,
. Mr - Woodall was badly hurt. The
fuends of Mr. Woodall and others came to
his assistance, and the Whettecons were
ru Wl«*l with bullets and instantly
killed. The Independent says that the sen
tence of the community was that the Whet
tecons had qjet a just fate.
[From thb New York Wor.d.
A Blister for Sickles.
A considerable number of American citi
zens, and even of New Yorkers, among
whom Sickles has lived, and who caunot
fail to know what he is and what he has
been, have degraded themselves and insult
ed their townsmen by an attempt to bestow
a testimonial of esteem npon him. It is
not, they tell Sickles dnd us, an acknowl
edgment of his political services that they
purpose to make this testimonial, but, 111
their own words, a “ tribute of personal re
spect, esteem, and friendship.” That these
men, such as they are, should, wallow in
the social mire of Sickles is a pitiable things
and we have hopes that it will turn out
that the names of some of them were at
tached to this invitation without authority.
The regret with which we read the honored
name of Mr. Raymond in such company, is
allayed by the reflection that it is not in
consistent with the character or the actual
customs of the man whom these
so eagerly delighted to honor to have
ed the name of Mr. Raymond to this certifl-*
cate of character, secure in the conscious
ness that the journalist thus outraged
could no longer expose the forgery. Other
names there are attached to this certifi
cate which we read with a sensation of
positive nausea that their owners should
have permitted them to be used in so scur
vy a purpose. We knew the congeniality
between Sickles and Fenton; and we might
have expected Fenton’s name to head the
list of certifiers to the character of Sickles.
If the signers were all Fentons, the thing
would go for no more than it is worth.
Nor will it go for more, although there are
many names far less stained * than that of
Fenton upon it. These men may lower
themselves, but they cannot raise Sickles.
They may go to him, but he can never
come to where they have stood in the es
teem of their fellows. If Mr. Greeley
chooses to hob-knob with Sickles, the con
junction does not raise a Sickles to the
skies, but only drags a Greeley down. And
what confidence can the warmest admirer
of Mr. Greeley feel hereafter, when he reads
of truth and honesty in the abstract, while
he remembers that to the direct opposite of
truth and honesty, concrete in Sickles, Mr.
Greeley has given the tribute of his “ re
spect, esteem and friendship,” or his. fierce
denunciations of abstract crime, while he
takes to his bosom a concrete murderer.
To '“hate the sin and love the sinner” is
supposed to be the ultimate perfection of
Christianity; but to pay public and pecu
liar honors to the chief of sinners is au
achievement which only a pious Wil
liam E. Dodge can believe to be consist
ent with an abhorrence or even an aver
sion for those sins. The post office of New
York is in the hands of Mr. Patrick H.
Jones, who entertains “ feelings of kindly
interest and friendly regard” for a mail
robber; the collection of the revenues of
the port is entrusted to Mr. Moses H. Grin
ned, who burns to pay a “ tribute of re
spect, esteem, and friendship” to a notori
ous thief. These signers call for honors
for a career crowded with crimes, alike the
darkest and the dirtiest, and unrelieved by
the exhibition of a single virtue. They
have made their bed with Sickles. Let
them lie on it.
It shall make no difference to us. We
purpose to make this man’s works follow
him wherever lie goes, until he retires into
the obscurity from which it is an outrage
and an insult to every honest American
that he was ever dragged out. The men
who may be compelled to encounter him
abroad, and who will have the tight to
point him out as of the sort of men whom
the American people delight to honor, shall
not have the right to say that lie was so
highly honored and his country so deeply
degraded without at least one indignant
protest. It is Sickles’ fault, uot ours, if
this is a shameful record. If he is not too
callous to wince under it, let him relieve
himself and us by retiring to a penitent
privacy. Shame. on him for accepting
what ought to be the achievement of an
honest and an useful life, and double shame
on Grant for givihg it to him.
State Items.
The Confederate dead are being removed
from the Chickamnuga battle field and re
interred in the Confederate Cemetery at
Marietta. The Journal says that about two
hundred bodies arrived there during the
past week.
The Covington Enterprise regrets to learn
that the boll worm has appeared in force on
several cotton plantations in Newton
county. It is apprehended from their early
appearance that they will be very destruc
tive to the crop this year.
The Marietta Journal reports that the
Confederate Cemetery hands have been on
a strike for higher wages. They left the
superintendent alone to bury l the large
number of bodies received. He would not
accede to their demands, however, and the
colored strikers are now parading the
streets in their good clothes.
The Athens Watchman says that Mr.
Samuel Bailey, at Maxey’s depot, in Ogle
thorpe county, grew, on one acre, fifty-seven
bushels of wheat, (lacking five pounds.)—
This beats Clarke, and all other counties,
so far as we have heard, except the acre at
Griffin, which produced fifty-eight bushels.
The same paper learns that A. M. Jack
son, Esq , the Ordinary of Clarke county,
sold, last week, the cotton grown on an
acre lot in Watkiusville, for $267!
Mr. Walker Dunson, living at Liberty
Hill, Heard county, died very suddenly on
Tuesday night. He was an old and respect
table citizen and his death is much re
gretted.
The Athens Watchman learns that the
Rev. Dr. Waddell, Chancellor of the
University of Mississippi, wil] preach the
Baccalaureate Sermon at the approaching
commencement of the University of Georgia,
August Ist. The Alumni Oration will be
delivered by the Hon. D. W. Lewis, and the
literary address before the Societies of the
University by Col. R. M. Johnston, of Mary
land.
The Albany News reports the continuance
of fine seasons in that section, many plant
ers report their corn beyond a casualty,
and as good as ever grew. Cotton is all
that the most greedy could desire, but its
trying ordeals are to come yet. A wet
Summer, the worn or the catterpiller may
prove disastrous to the present splendid
prospect.
Mr. H. E. Morrow has become Associate
Editor of the Middle Georgian, and makes
his debut in that paper of the. 30th ult., in
a well conceived salutatory.
Rev. W. J. Morcock, formerly of Allen
dale, S. C., has been elected Professor in the
Monroe Female College at Forsyth, Georgia.
Mn. Raymond’s Successor. —lt is now
definitely determined that Mr. Sillman S.
Conant shall be the successor of Mr. Ray
mond in the- editorial chair of the Times.
This action affirms the confidence so long
reposed by Mr. Raymond in Mn Conant,
whp has for two years been the responsible
manager of the Times , standing in the place
of the-chief when he was absent in Europe
or elsewhere. Mr. Conant has had a long
and varied experience as an editor and
writer upon the daily, weekly and monthly
press. He has been on the Times nearly
six years. He is a man of sound judgment,
culture and good scholarship. He is a
practiced and rapid writer. Mr. Conant is
a young man, and he is placed at the head
of a great undertaking. That he will acquit
himself well in his high office is the belief
of ail who know him, and lie lias a host of
warm personal friends. Mr. Conant is a
son of the distinguished Hebrew scholar
and professor, Rev. Dr. T. J. Conant.
Deaf and Dumb Asylum. —The exami
nation of the pupils at the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, at Cave Spring, came off on Tues
day and Wednesday last. From one of the
trustees, who was present, we learn that
the mutes underwent a highly creditable
examination. The teachers, Messrs. Con
ner, Davis and Fisher were retained for the
present year, and Mr. Quillian as Steward.
The Institute had fifty-seven pupils last
session, more than has attended any one
term heretofore.
It is thought the appropriation of SB,OOO
will not be sufficient to run the Institute,
with all the economy that can be used. It
is the amount allowed before the war, and
the increased prije of provisions renders it
necessary that the appropriation should be
increased— Rome Commercial.

THE SEASON OP EXHAUSTION.
No matter how vigorous by nature the system and
the constitution may be, they must necessarily suffer
more or less from the depleting effects of the tempera
ture of midsummer, unless strengthened and sustained
by wholesome tODic treatment- The extra pressure
upon the vital forces mnat he met and counterbalanced
by an extra resistant pqwer; the unusual and rapid
consumption of the animal fluids by profuse perspira
tion must be compensated by the perfect digestion
and assimilation of the food taken into the stomach
from which both the fluids and the solids of the bsdy
are derived.* Otherwise the physical strength declines
and the mind, sympathizing with the machinery
through which it acts, becomes depressed and ener
vated. A stimulast is thetefdfe absolutely required
at this season; not a violent one, ejaculated to produ.e
febrile excitement, hut somethin# which will recruit
and reinforce the whole Organisation'in proportion to
the extraordinary drUih to which the torrid heat sub
jects it.
This desideratum is supplied in a palatable and most
efficient form in HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BIT
TERS, which the people of this country, after mare
than twenty-five years’ experience, have accepted and
endorsed as the best tonic, alterative and anti-bilious
preparation which medical chemistry has yet succeed
ed in obtaining from the strength-sustaining, healing
and purifying products of the vegetable kingdom. -
Every ingredient of this famous compound has its
own specific virtue, and the result of their combiuatl n
is the most genial invigorant, aperient and regulating
medicine ever administered, either as a preventive or
cure of the disorders most common in our variable cli
