road. A similar plan would doubtless have been pursued with our branch. It would have been the Georgia Rail Road’s own folly to bare allowed us to compete with them on any other terms. If the same sum is to be drawn from the producer’s pocket in cither rase, it is of course a matter of indifference with Hm how it is distributed, and he will be | guided merely by the relative distances of the | roads from his plantation. With a short recapitulation, I must draw this article to a close. I have pointed it out ns a fact, that the nuzss of the citizens of Au gusta have not been proved hostile to our first undertaking. I have acknowledged latent errors in our first proposition, undiscovered even by our selves. This proposition, however, with both the others, was open to change. And, in the last place, the resolutions of have been canvassed, and the conclusion has been drawn (with no decision upon the motives which influenced their pas sage) that they were illiberal in themselves, and admitted of no substitutes, nor even mod ifications, without palpable inconsistency in the board. Hence the further conclusion that tee tccrc driven from our first enterprise by the ac tion of the Board of Directors of the Georgia Bail Hoad. In a second article, I propose to consider the practicability of obtaining and defending a ■charter. It is to be hoped that the unpleasant cir cumstances attending the transactions above treated of, may be forgotten, and that the pre sent collision of interests will produce no per manent ill feeling between different portions of the same State, tinder the same Constitu- j tion, one of the pillars of which the wisdom of our fathers dceuuMd to be W MODERATION. - * | *The above argument proceeds m?slie suppnsi- i tion, that the resolutions passed were a fair expo nent of the views of the board. The correctness <of the supposition admits of doubt. Whether r not, the original friendly disposition of some of those favorable to our road may not have been weakened by the influence of an opposition, (not open and avowed, but none the less influential for that*) is a question which some minds may have j answered in the affirmative. The second resolution, which killed the enterprise, may not have been <»een in its full consequences by all, while these j very consequences may have been the precise end proposed by some. The action of the board was certainly remarka ble. The first supposition, in this place,as to its cause was that undue influence had swayed the minds of the directors —for the proposed road was thought to be so clearly 7 advantageous to the exist ing one, that no doubt terms highly advantageous had been ■eptertained. Thisgave rise to feelings of hostility too diffusive to be just, involving the whole board of directors and the city of Augusta in a common censure. As it was only a portion of the interest of the latter which could hare been materially as- j fected by our first project,the censure was undoubt- 1 edlv too broad, as J think subsequent facts have ; shown. Neither do I suppose the whole body of di rectors to have been hostile to our road, although their action bad a strong tendency to prove them so, and did actually destroy tke plan of building it. The j probability is, that some were favorable—some op posed in toto—and others inclined tf> make slrin- : gent terms, on the supposition tliat almost any i terras would lx; accepted. Ihe latter directors would have been much more liberal if our eecond i enterprise could have been anticipated. To classify with even tolerable certainty, w ould j ’be impossible. , We do not even know who propoe- j .ed the resolutions—whether they were passed j unanimously—if not, who voted pro ami con, «V c.

LATEST DATES FROM MVERFOOI SEPT. 19 LATEST DATES FROM HAVR;i SEPT. 2 CHARLESTON, Oct. 6.— Cotton. —The tran sactions of Saturday last were confined to some 331 bales, at the prices current at the close of the previous week. On Monday, upwards of 500 bales were sold at similar rates; and purchasers were proceeding with their orders yesterday, when the telegraphic announcement, at an early hour, from the bulletin board of one of the afternoon papers, that the ateames Hibernia had arrived at Boston; and that Cotton had declined |d.; immediately put a stop to business, not, however, before up wards of 430 bales had changed hands. The sales during the three days reached, in the aggregate, 1431 bales, and when buyers withdrew, our quo tations of Saturday morning had been fully sus tained. The transactions were at extremes rang- j ing from lUor 12c., but a very large portion of the ' operations were confined to prices within the range of i 1 a 1 I^c. NEW ORLEANS Sept. 30,pm. —Cotton.—There has been some inquiry, and sales amount to about 1000 to 1200 bales. Prices decidedly easier, and we I think we give an extreme quotation in quoting Good Middling at as some small lots have ; been sold at lower rates. Bu^arami Molasses. —-Sales confined to retail.

York 607, and Boston 285, leaving the stock on hand and on ship board not cleared last evening, ; 10,194 b..les against 7,361 same time last season, and | 3085 the year previous. Our review of this day week left the market i quiet, with sales of some 1700 bales—middling i were quoted a 11c. We have again to report an exceedingly dull market, the transactions of the wriiole week amounting to only 10 a 1200 bales. | ; The sales in the early part of it were made at j pretty much the same rates as those current at the ! close of our last, but within the past two days, j holders shewing a greater anxiety to realise, have j in some instances submitted to a decline of fully ( I cent per pound, at which reduction only some 200 j bales, however, changed hands. Towards the i close of the week nearly all the buyers withdrew | from the market in consequence, it is supposed, of the want of shipping facilities, and in a measure to j the difficulty of negotiating exchanges. There is so little business doing, our quotations are nearly nominal, and sales to any extent could not be made unless at lower rates. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATION, Get. 1,1847. Oct. 2, 1817.
