The privilege was granted them on the con
ditions named, and without it, it may be safe
ly said not one dollar of the stock would ever
have been subscribed for—certainly not in
Augusta,
Each Company chartered had its exclusive
privileges—and how do we account for the
forms of them respectively ! That of the Cen
tral is perfect for all practical purposet. No lat
teral road, o rod long , can be built in twenty
miles of it, and no cross road could injure it.
But a limited right of crossing was reserved,
and therefore the term latteral was used to be
consistent with the reserved privilege of cross
ing. The form adopted for the Georgia Rail
Road was intended to secure in one section she
exclusive privilege against all latteral and cross
ing roads , and hence the words “from any
point” were used, as sufficiently comprehensive
to cover every thing, without the necessity of
another section. The restriction upon the
Monroe Rail Road, was intended to allow a
continuance of the road towards the west,
without any embarrassment about the right of
junction at Forsyth, and the proviso to that
restriction (against crossing the Ocmulgee)
was intended to confine the Georgia Rail Road
Company to their “solid slice of forty miles”
and keep them on their own side of the river.
Macon had just got rid of the dreaded Chatta
hoochee privilege, and it was intended to guard
against a similar danger.
We pass on to December, 1835, when the
rail road mania was at its higbt. This is the
period when the amendment was granted,
which “Moderation” calls the “strong-hold”
of the Georgia Rail Road, and a “strong-hold”
it would be if necessary to rely on it. Every
section of the State, not yet provided for, was
Applying for charters, and those having char
ters were applying for banking privileges, to
enable them to build. One floating charter (the
Great Western) was granted for a road to run
almost any where. The State itself proposed to
build a road, i nd in every instance showed the
utmost anxiety to remove every obstacle in
the improvement of every part of the State.—
Three or four charters were granted , at or about
the same time with this amendment , in every one
of which an unconditional right of crossing was
reserved by the State. At this time, when the
State, and every conflicting interest was wide
awake, and fully alive to the whole subject,
a modified privilege only was obtained of crossing
the Georgia Rail Road west of certain points. —
Why, in this case, was nothing more obtained?
In the first place no public interest could ever
require it. In the second place it was known
and well understood that the right had been
granted away. The right could be reserved
only so far as the Company would consent to
it, and the right of crossing east of the points
named, was with the Company a vital ques
tion. Had the right been then asserted and
believed, this great w'ork, and every interest
dependent on it, would have sunk in an in
stant. West of these points the Company
wiAs willing to clear the way to Macon, and all
others, to the Tennessee line or to the moun
• ■ tains, (though their roads might come within
twenty miles,) but cast of the same points, the
country was too narrow for two roads under
£ any circumstances, and cross roads would have
been much more objectionable than any other.
A'Uux ‘'Uc geography of the country; by es
tablishing termini on the north side of the
road, and crossing it at acute angles, the road
would be constantly robbed by such a road; but
very rare 1 y fed by it, Whether such cross road
■yvere built for spite or speculation, it would be
the interest of the stockholders to carry their
freight for the greatest distance, and every ef
fort would of course be made by discrimina
tion, and otherwise, to effect that object.
Such is substantially a correct history of
our rail road legislation and the reasons for it,
up to December, 1835, and including the ori
ginal charter and amendment of the Georgia
Rail Road Company. It is all embraced with
in a period of two years; mostly by the same
legislators, with the same parties before them,
and upon the same interests. No part of it
was by legislators dreaming over the doubtful
meaning of acts in ages gone by—but know
ing what they had done, what they were do
ing, or what they wished to do. That their
meaning was different from what was express
ed and acted on by the Company, may be pos
sible, but it is one of the most improbable con
clusions ever drawn from human testimony—
such as might prove to be true under the same
circumstances, once in a hundred years, but
when so discovered w r ould always be looked
upon as a marvel, or a miracle.
I have said that this road is not called for
by any public necessity. If it had been, the
exclusive privilege to the Georgia Rail Road,
might not have been granted.* The same
market may be reached without injuring es
tablished interests, or violating the public
faith. If from Augusta to Savannah the par
ties prefer a rail road to the river, the same
subscriptions proposed for this Cross road,
would secure a road to the Eighty Mile Sta
tion, which would accomplish every purpose
proposed, and in about the same distance. I
have never known a road so little called for
by public policy or public economy, even if it
could be built without a violation of public
faith. It would divide a business already
small, injure established interests without cre
ating new' ones, and as an investment would
pay little or nothing to the stockholders.f It
is is therefore neither called for by public poli
cy or public economy, whilst it is absolutely
forbid by the public. GOOD FAITH.
*lf this exclusive privilege be so valuable and so
envious, why have not the people of Wilkes parti
cipated in it I They have been ottered a branch
at the expense of the Georgia Rail Road, if they
would subscribe stock enough to build it, and I am
not apprized that the otter has ever been with
drawn.
fUntil the articles of “Moderation” were writ
ten, 1 thought the more intelligent of the projec
tors of this new road had given up all idea of pro
fits from the road itself as an investment. From
Washington to the Georgia Road it would pay
something, but between the two roads it would
scarcely pay expenses. No part of the road would
exceed twenty miles in distance from one of the two
great lines ; a distance which the planter never re
gards, when he has to use his wagon at all. Some
calculations were at first made of heavy profits
from the upper end of the Georgia Road as a
feeder. _ This is fallacious, and I believe now gen
®raUy given up. Without any change of policy,
• the Georgia Road would charge the same to the
_ junction as to Augusta, it would be unreasonable
to suppose, that under these circumstances, trade
r would leave the Georgia Rail Road, and diverge to
1 Savannah, where it would he confined to the
chances of one market, when for the same, or a
less cost, it could continue a route giving the full
3 advantages of three. Without enlarging on this
subject, a single example may serve for illustration.
L A few weeks since, a letter appeared in a city pa
- per, speaking rather extravagantly of the expcct
. ed profits of the road from this source. It so hap
pened that the same paper contained the statement
’’ of the Cotton market, and actual weekly sales for
. both Savannah and Charleston, and also the Cot
ton market of Augusta, From these ifhppeared,
’ that the Charleston market was about Act. or sav
2 two dollars per bale better than that of Savannah,
. and that of Augusta was about one dollar per bale
better than either. In this comparative state of
the markets, suppose two planters coming to the
. junction, one diverges—the other continues to
Augusta. What is the relative situation of the two
parties ? The one coming to Augusta has three
markets before him, in one of which he can real
, **e two and in the other three dollars per bale,
more than can be obtained by the planter who
r has confined himself to one market. He loses
; none of his chances by the Augusta route. If the
Savannah market happen to be the best, he has
1 that before him also. It is this position that has
, generally made Augusta the best Cotton market for
the planter in the Southern country. The buyers
here have no power to combine , against the planter as
; they have in a seaport. They have two markets be
low them to compete with, and must rise to a com
peting price with the best of them for the time being.
[ Under this triple competition, they often give more
1 than can be afforded, —but they can afford to give
more in a quiet or settled market (freight deduct
ed) than a shipper from either seaport. They can
hold for fess, and when they wish to ship, they
have the advantage of two ports to ship through,
and may select the cheapest. This choice is often
worth, I am told, an average of one dollar per bale
, f° the shipper. If the planter wishes to sell, he
may do so under ail the advantages of an excited
- competition, and sell himself, saving commissions.
If he wishes a commission merchant to sell, he is
charged not over £ ora what he is charged in
the ports, and if he wishes to hold for better prices,
he can do so lor about one-half. The consequence
is, that the planter generally sells in Augusta
when that market is accessible to him. These
i are the advantages which bring so much Cotton
from Jefferson county to Augusta in wagons—and
which bring it up to Atlanta against a heavy dis
criminating freight on the Macon and Western
i R-oad. They would never be uselessly thrown
away by the planter when he could have them at
the same cost, and all the chances of the Sat'annah
t market besides. An intelligent gentleman of Ala
bama once remarked, that such an interior mar
ket as Augusta, to cheek the extortions of their
seaport—would be worth to the planters of Ala
bama 51,000,000 per year. This is the market,
, which a seaboard interest in Carolina and Georgia
are so anxious to destroy, and constantly appealing
, to planters to aid them.

Our last report left the Cotton market in an ex
ceedingly unsettled and depressed state, the re
ceipt of the European letters by the Cambria hav
ing presented the state of things in Great Britain in
a much gloomier aspect th >n the printed advices.
Indeed a commercial revolution appears to be in
progress in England which for severity has scarcely
a parallel in any period of her previous history.—
1 The immediate effect of these advices, as we stated
in our last, was a decline of one cent, per pound, and
t e maiket has continued to droop since from dav
to day, until the rates are now three and three-quar
tet s to four cents per pound below those current at
the opening «t the season. On Saturday business
to a good extent was transacted, the saels having
reached some 6000 bales, but 'prices |were rather
easier for purchasers, our inside figures of Friday
having been the prevailing rates. On Monday
about 4500 bales were disposed of. prices still tend
ing in favor of buyers; but yesterday, owing main
ly to increased difficulties in the way of exchange
negotiations,' the sales were confined to some 30t»0
bates, prices closing at a fu l | decline from our
quotations of 1 riday last, in conformity with which
our figures have been reduced. The total busi
ness ot the past three days sums up 14,000 bales, ta
ken almost entirely for France, Spain. Continental
ports, and the North, English buyers having con
tinued to keep aloof; and the qfuaities in request
have ranged from Good Ordinary to Fair; the finer
grades being still neglected and nominal.

MOUNT EAGLE TRIPOLI.
A REMARKABLE mineral, pronounced by
geologists to be a great rarity in nature and
known to them by the name of Tripoli, has lately
been discovered in this country, although but in one
bed, of very narrow limits, all owned by the “Mount
Eagle Manufacturing Company,” incorporated for
the sole purpose of its manufacture.
The article is excellent for burnishing and clean
ing all finished metallic and glass surfaces, such as
gold, silver, brass, Britannia and steel ware, win
dow glass, Ac. Nothing has ever yet been discov
ered equal to the pure Tripoli, and the common
language of the consumer is, it is the best thing 1
ever saw. The genuine article is for sale by the
exclusive agent for Augusta. WM. HAINfiS.
