Meeting op City Council. —This body
convened, last night, in Council Chamber.
Present: Aldermen Sibley, Meyer, Allen,
Jones, Gargan, Goodrich and Jackson.
Mayor Russell being absent on account
of sickness, on motion of Alderman Sibley,
Alderman Allen was requested to take the
Chair.
Alderman Allen stated that the meeting
had been called for a special object, and in
quired if it was the pleasure of Council
that the minutes of last meeting should be
read.
On motion, the reading of the minutes
was dispensed with.
By direction of the Chair, the Clerk read
a communication from the Directors of the
Augusta and Hartwell Railroad, enclosing
the resolutions adopted at their last meet
ing in this city:
Resoloed, That a committee from the
Board, to consist of Dr. John L. Wilkes,
E. Lockhart, Robert H. May, J. P. Wil
liams, Col. W. Mattox. Dr. J. L. Turner,
Marion McDaniel and Dr. H. R. Casey, be
appointed to wait on the City Council of
Augusta, and present the claims of this
company to them, and solicit such material
aid towards its completion that they in
their wisdom may see proper to give.
Resolvent, That the committee meet in Au
gusta on the second Tuesday (12th) Octo
ber for the purposes of their appointment.
Dr. Casey and the delegation were then
invited within the bar, when Dr. C. pro
ceeded to present in a full and confident
manner the claims which the Augusta and
Hartwell Railroad presented for the aid
which the City Council of Augusta might
be able to extend. The speaker announced
coutidently that the road would be built;
if Southern enterprise did not take hold of
it, Northern capital would. That the peo
ple of Northeast Georgia were determined
to have a railroad connection. They pre
ferred Augusta as a market to any other
point, but would turn their trade to a
country town wherever they could secure
railroad connection. Dr. Casey concluded,
introducing Dr. John L. Wilkes.
Dr. John L. Wildes, of Lincoln county,
followed Dr. Casey, urging the advantages
Os the Augusta and Hartwell Road, pre
senting the claims of the line as the most
direct route from Cincinnati and Knox
ville to the sea, if the present charter was
so amended (as he had frequently urged
upon his friend, Dr. Casey), as to intersect
the Blue Ridge Railroad at Clayton. In
this connection, he gave figures in support
of his assertion, which he considered of
sufficient importance to guarantee the con
struction of the line to answer the de
mands of commerce and travel, which al
ways seek the shortest routes. Inclosing,
Dr. Wilkes hoped the matter would re
ceive the favorable consideration of the.
Council.
Col. W. W. Montgomery followed, favor
ing the road ns the most important pro
posed in Georgia as a grand trunk line
reaching the Northwest. Its local advan
tages had already been held out by the
gentlemen who had preceded him. lie
desired that Augusta should wake up; re
presented it as the most, lifeless city, town
or village in Georgia, which he had visit?-
cd, and he had been in several. Instanced
the building progress in Griffin, a mere
wayside town on the Macon and Western
Railroad, which, if in progress in Augus
ta, would astonish our citizens. He forci
bly pressed upon Council the importance
of a serious consideration of the matter
presented to them.
Dr. Casey announced the presence of
representatives of the Port Royal Railroad,
whereupon the Mayor expressed the pleas
ure of Council to hear from them.
Mr. Brown, of the Port Royal Railroad,
announced himself as the representative of
Northern capital invested in the construc
tion of that road, and also interested in
the building of the Southern Pacific Rail
road. He favored the Augusta and Hart
well Road as one of the most valuable
roads which would come to Augusta, as a
direct liue to the Northwest.
Mr. John Davison followed, favoring, as
a large tax payer, the enterprise, but ques
tioning the ability of the City Council, in
the present financial condition of the city,
to afford material aid. The speaker, in this
connection, queried the Chairman of the
Finance Committee as to the debt of the
city. In response, Mr. W. E. Jackson
stated that the debt amouuted to about
$1 ,300,000. Mr. Davison resumed, favoring
the road, but counselling the City Council
not to make a promise to the ear and break
it to the heart. He did not desire that Coun
cil should lead gentlemen into any false
hopes. Under the debt of the city, he did not
believe that Council conld pay the subscrip
tion, if made. lie had held city coupons in his
pocket for several hundred dollars, and yet
had paid his taxes in cash, to enable Coun
cil to meet current obligations. In respect
to the progress of Augusta, he was satisfied
if her progress was slow and sure. The
gentleman had alluded to the progress of
Griffin; Atlanta was represented as flourish
ing; he was satisfied if Augusta should
move up an eighth of an inch at a time, and
not go back—she would move another
eighth of an Inch after awhile. Mr. Davi
son’s speech was marked with particular
earnestness in urging Council not to com
mit the city to a subscription which there
was no means to meet.
Dr. Casey thanked Mr. Davison for his
kind personal allusions and sympathy for
the enterprise, replying to bis position
against the subscription becanse of the
heavy indebtedness of the city, by citing
the city of Savannah, which carried a debt
of over $2,000,000, and none could deny
that she was prospering. He did not rise
to make a speech, however, but to intro
duce Mr. Chapman, of the Port Royal Rail
road.
Mr. Chapman announced himself as the
representative of Northern capital invested
to build the Port Royal Road, which he
considered as certain to lie built. But he
had not calculated to meet such discourage
ment as was presented by the gentleman
(Mr. Dayison) who had preceded him, in
stating that he was satisfied with the pro
gress which Augusta was making. He
stated that he anticipated that fifty miles of
the Port Royal Road would lie completed
in ninety days. He did not conceive that
the debt of the city should interfere to pre
vent the extension of aid to railroad inter
ests. He cited the alacrity with which the
city of Hartford contributes to all railroad
enterprises presented, notwithstanding a
debt of $2,500,000. He was not familiar
with the line of road proposed, .but from
what he had learned, deemed it one of im
portance.
Mr. Davison responded in a brief, but
pertinent manner, alluding to the far
greater losses which Augusta had suffer
ed in her capital by the war, as compared
with the cities of Savannah and Hartford.
No further remarks being offered, on
motion of Alderman Jackson, the commu
nication from the Directors was referred to
the Railroad Committee.
On motion, Council adjourned.
Has No Son Oi/d Enough. —We observe
a paragraph floating around to the effect
that a son of “ Governor” Bullock, of Geor
gia, was about to marry Miss Stevens,
daughter of the Hoboken millionaire. —
From the best evidence accessible in this
section, we learn that “our” Executive has
no son old enough for that purpose. The
people of Georgia would be rejoiced if he
had, provided the youngster would take
his papa to live with him in the “ great
Nor’ard." We presume it is one of the
young bullocks of Massachusetts upon
whom the young lady alluded to designs to
throw away herself.
We wish to call attention to the adver
tisement of Mr. C. Toler, of the “ Ken
tucky and Tennessee Stables,” on Campbell
street, near Broad. He is just now in re
ceipt of a very superior lot of match horses
and large mules, saddle and harness horses,
equal, if not superior, to any ever brought
to this market. He is also advertising a
lot of thorough-bred Berkshire pigs, just
received. We know that Mr. Toler lan be
fully relied upon in his representations, as
well as in his contracts, and advise all who
desire to obtain flue stock to call on him
at once.
Another Special Privilege. —The At
lanta Constitution learns that “Governor”
Bullock left with a special train, Saturday
evening, for Louisville, Ky , to attend the
Commercial Convention there. His train
is fitted up in flue style, and he takes
as many of the Georgia delegation as will
go with him, and, we understand, proposes
to feed them, while en route, there.
Opprourioub Words. —Maria Williams
(colored) was before Justice Ells, yesterday
morning, charged with the use of oppro
brious words to Mr. William Paiuter,
tending to a breach of the peace. The
prosecution was conducted by H. Clay
Foster, Esq., and the defense by G. A.
Snead, Esq. The defendant was fined $2
and cost.
Recorder’s Court. —John Colclougli
was arraigned yesterday morning, charged
with violation of the 21st section—abusing
a city officer. Plead guilty and fined $lO
and cost.
Stephen Payne (colored) —Violation of
the 18th section. Dismissed on payment of
cost.
Personal.— Mr. S. N. Carpenter, of the
El I«rton Gazette, called on us yesterday.
He will give our merchants and business
men an opportunity to extend their busi
ness in the section where his journal cir
culates.
Very Important Decision. —A Cincin
nati Judge decided, last Friday, that there
was nothing in the statutes of the State
or the city ordinances which prohibited a
woman from wearing trowsers.
Close at Work.— Mr. L. G. Close, for in -
ealy mail agent between this city and At
lanta, lias been appointed agent for the
Southern Life Insurance Company, and
will circulate in Middle Georgia in a few
days.
What It Costs.— The cost to the cotton
factors (those who pay) in this city, to se
cure four telegrams daily from New York,
furnishing the quotations of cotton and
gold, is said to be $5,148 per annum. This
is certainly a heavy, but necessary tax.
A niece of Mr. Jefferson Davis, the reign
ing belleof the Crescent City, is said to bo en
gaged to a very wealthy gentleman of New
York.

FOR THK CURB OF

n. HE proprietor of this celebrated medicine just
ly claims for it a superiority over all ever offered to
the public for the safe, certain, speedy and permanent
cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refors to tho entire
Western and Southwestern country to bear him testi
mony to the truth of the assertion that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if tho directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a great many
cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single bottle
with a perfect restoration of the general health. It
is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain
w cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for s
week or two after the disease has been checked, more
especially In difficult and long standing cases.—
Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to
keep the bowels in good order; should the patient
howevor, require a cathartic mcdicino after having
taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose
of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLS wi
be sufficient.

TO MY UNITED STATES AND WORLD

I have received many testimonials fiom profession

following from a highly educated and popular physi
cian in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sensible
communications I have every received. Da. Oi.fmrnt

deserves to he written in letters of gold. Hoar what

Dr. John Bull— Dear Sir : I have recently given
your “ Worm Destroyer ” several trials, and And it
wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single
instance to havo the wished-for etiect. I am doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use ior
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that 1
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest au
thors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing you is to ilnd out upon what terms
I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can
get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of It.—
I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to
the teachings and practice of a great majority of the
regular line of M. D.’s, hut I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which wo know to lie
efficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its
combination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to
use all andany means t# alleviate suffering human
ity which I may be able to command—not hesi
tating because some or e moro ingenious than myself
may have learned its effects iirst, and secured the sole
right to seenro that knowledge. However, I am by
no moans an advocate or supporter of the thousands
of worthless nostrums that Aood the country, that
purport to cure all manner of disease to which hu
man Aesli is heir. Flease reply soon, and inform me
of your best terms,
