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. * Special “Notices.

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.
