The whole Editorial Department of the last Times is occupied with the Kailroud subject, by way, as usual, of , of City objection to the whole scheme ; ■Bn!) and taxation to pay the interest tbercou. ‘ TTiii marvellous bow tho respected Editor sticks to a thing, when ho starts, whether alone or in n crowd, lie is so seldom, however, in the latter category, as almost to justify the remark wc havo heard made of him, that were he to be drowned in the Chattahoochee below the bridge, his “ mortal remains ” might be lookgd ibr above Cowrta Falls, somewhere ! Be this as it may, onr neigh bor does seem to p-efer “ going in a gang by himself,” on many subjects of general interest. On the Kailroud question, lie is an inflexible stickler for tho constitutional rights of tho people, and will not allow it to be just that a majority should always rule the minority of file body politic. But is he not carrying the theory a little too farl Arc there not many usages nnd practises in every well-regulated community, precisely niwdngous to that of our Rnilrond system of taxation ? We alluded to one or two instances in our Inst paper, where ! those not property holders are taxed for the spcciul ben efit of those that urc. The people, generally, have for j years, been paying interest for money borrowed to build j the Bridge. They ore taxed to build water-tanks and , furnish Fire Apparatus—to pay for a night guard to pro ■ tcct the property of citizens—to keep the Btreets in or -1 der, Ac. &c. Agoin, under the Constitution, men have a right to “life, liberty and tho pursuit of happiness,” yet, how of ten ib it, that rights of this sort are taken away or ren dered nugatory. For instance, a wholesale or retail li quor merchant may not sell his goods without a license and paying a tax. The professional man ditto. So ulso ill somo kinds of useful business—ns butchering, tallow chandlery aud gas manufacturing. Men are not per mitted to follow these lawful callings to the annoyance of the public. We have also, various nutuicipal regula tions, us to the market, nuisances, et cetera, all of which take, more or less, from the constitutional and natural rights of individuals. A butcher must take a Stull iii the market house anteay a tax therefor, as well as be subject to a penalty for selling meat, elsewhere, during market hours. A citizcu who has not graduated at some legal medical College is not allowed to practice medicine with out getting a license, previously, Iroui a medloal fiotud. A preacher cannot undertake to proclaim Ihe gospel with out a pomei from (lie Conferonco or Presbytery. ‘ Laws are enacted prohibiting labor or business on the Sahhnlh, though tho Constitution forbids every thuig interfering with the rights of conscience, or looking to the establish ment of a public Feiigion. Wc might ekleud the illustration, indefinitely, but we think it unnecessary to rav more. Enough has been written to show that the Municipal Authorities have the general power to foster and protect the interests of the whole people. They ought to guaid against any depre fcUjgn of the property of the citizen—aud if it Were pos city Council to mttke such an investment ol would, m a few years, rebel e the mliah in Jutu,.i, a would be nght nr - - ;.i p. op!. if any measure ean be tnaj.u.iy. w.-uM a§W • Hl’ - , , m mat 1,1, SSfißite ■’ i' : t’-’ r l & K|, ’ • .*■’ .? - O e jjtj - if. wm':\ ■■ ffia au §©©(g g IJg mo© R & TTu Why should a’ Farmer take Railroad Stock 7 This question is thus answered by a Farmer of Ohio, and wc commend the practical good sense of the rc ’ ply to the farmers of Muscogee, Talbot and Upson | counties.

What are our moralists and preachers about ‘ that this plague-spot is suffered to widen its borders and extend its ravages, to n degree unprecedented in our an- ; mils? Do they “cry aloud and spare not,” as thsy ought, against this besetting sin of Columbus? Are our ; city Authorities doing all that they can to protect the ‘ public morals and guard our youth against contamina tion ? We fear not —and shall therefo/e feel it to be our duty to let the battery of one free presi be opened against all uitclciumess, should not a speedy reform take place ■ in certain quarters, and this too, “ without respect to per- 1 sons,” and •• without fear, fuvor or affection.” So look out, all yc night-prowling and sky-larking gentry —or I high on the roll of infamy will your names and deeds be ‘ registered. That Ciiauitv Sermon.—We bate often heard of things being ns “ cold as charily,” but this not the case, by upwards of considerable, with a sermon which was 1 preached in one of onr churches last .Sabbath, in behalf of the Orphan Asylum, if a true report of said sermon has j reached our cars. Tho orator is one of the Muckleurath j school of preachers, wlto believes much stronger in the ! efficacy of thunder than of lightning, to drive men to the performance of good actions and consequently he^pdopted; that idea even in preaching up charity for the -sirin plians, although lie had, it seems.prccious little charity, : himself, for the mass of his hearers. Nearly every class ! of the community came in for tho preacher's censorious animadversion, and though, it must be confesaed, he told j some wholesome truths, yet we suspect, he would have i caught more Hies if he had not used quite so much vine, gar. Tho ladies who wore s|2s dresses, he said, could do j us well with those that cost holf the money. Gentlemen ; could get along with ail—cr watches os well as with gold ones, and could appear ns well, in a suit costing $l3O, ns in one costing SSO, and so on, clear through the various | items of personal expenditure. Doubtless, all this is true, j but cui bono f What is the use of warring ngainst the | urts and refinements of social life—against the business of the tuilpr, tho dry goods merchant, the caniage maker , and the milliner? All these classes lire by contributing , to the comforts nnd luxuries rather than to the necessities of social life. And, moreover, if we are to'go to “first principles” in these matters—to the simplicity of tho Eden costume, or tho cheapest remove from thji same, why, then, the preacher did not go far enough. He might have looked around him and censured the waste ot money in the .‘ruction of the house of worship wherein he stood! As large a building, if. constructed after the primitive style of the country adjacent, would not have cost more than one-t<-mh as inoeh. He should have ap. ‘ pcaiT.l before tits people as thtj forerunner of Christ did be- 1 ! fore the Jews—in raiment of camel's hair, bound with a j leathern girdle—and not in broad cloth and fine-twined ! liuen, Ac. In short, be should, to havo been consistent, have given up all superfluities of apparel and household— and afforded an example, in hlB own person, of all that ho oujoined upon his congregation. But he | ferent course, and, we have rrnnrn In 1 1 Im* —ireM I— mmssmsmm 1 Succeeded so well us he might, In the object sought tW be gained. The preacher was also unfortunate in his ultra zeal against amusements. Os course he is entitled to his opin ion of the character and tendency of Concerts, Theatres, Dancing, Ac. but when he unqualifiedly stigmatized all such us wicked, and those engaged in them ub the “ most degraded beings that ever crawled upon tho face of the earth,” wc think ho “ travelled beyond the record,” and “ affirmed tilings whereof he knew not.” Such a charge involves an imputation upon the moral rectitude of those that ever attend Concerts uml other places of tho kind, that we feel much like resenting as a premeditated insult to many estimable people. But we forbear, in hopes that lesß of that “ religion which is without charity and char* ’ ily which is without religion ” will bo manifested bereaf- I ter on this subject, by those who take upon theniselvts the functions and duties of ministers of righteousness, in our midst. New Orleans under Water! Our last advices from New Orleans, which are up i to Saturday morning, represent the condition of the | city ns truly alarming from the threatened overflow iof the entire place. A serious crerasse hud taken place a few miles above the city and another below Algiers on the opposite side of the river, which was doing immense damage to the plantations, over which the waters of the mighty Mississippi were rolling in awful grandeur. At the crccassc above Carolton, the most active exertions of a large force, engaged in driving rows of piles ar.d throwing in gunny bags, filled with sand, had not succeeded, late Friday night, in arresting tho tide which was setting in at that point. The Delta of Saturday morning thus details the progress of the waters in the rear of the city : “ The water in the rear of the Second and Fourth Wards, Second Municipality, continued slowly rising through Thursday night, and all day yesterday, and onr dispatches from the Same Crevasse, in another column, leave faint hope of an abatement of the flood. The whole ol the new Shell Road is now covered to the depth of a foot and a half to three (vd~. arid the’ Canal, overflow ing its North bank, is pouring its sur charge into the rear of the Seventh Ward, Second Municipality; and thenefe the water finds no impedi ment to the lower extremity of the city. Although the water is constantly rising above the New Ca nal, it has not covered the ground further inward than it did on Thursday night. This is owing to the obstiuction offered by the ridge on which A|>ollo street runs, which fur the present acts as a partial barrier, and tore.es the water to seek its level over the North bank of the Canal, and through the artifi cial channels penetrating the city. The district now overflowed is two or three feet higher than either Camp or Canal streets, and it is only the Apollo st. ridge which prevents the immediate inundation of the whole Second Municipality; but as the ridge is intersected by gutters, ditches, and the Melpomene Canal, she calamity, it is to be feared, is only deferr rd for a brief s|>ace. Already has the overflow, be low ‘the Canal, spread itself as tar in as the outer edge of the inhabited portion of the Seventh Ward of the Second Municipality,and of the back wards of the First Municipality, and is steadily advancing.— In short, the whole city is threatened with inunda tion. • One Day Later.—The Picayune of Sunday, speaks doubting!*- of the success of the efferfs to stop L the crevasse above Carrolton. The waters ate still pushing through with great force. The Shell Road ■s covered with water to a considerable cxleat.

This settles the question, and secures the early completion of the Road beyond the reach of ordinary contingency.— fu triumphe! of a Feather An Algerine paper of New pf, Rhode Island, says that “the manner in which Louis PbiUippe, of France, was dethroned, was the word kind of radicalism —rank Dorrism —and so leng as tlie leading men of France acknowledge the right (uihepeojde to revolutionize the government, for slight and transient causes, (!) just so long will rea sunhideand sensible men have just reason to fear for tlie salvation of the nation.” Doubtless, the Editor is tight in classing the efferts of the Republicans of Ftrancv fu overthrew the tyrant, Louis Phillippe, as I rank Dorrism,” and the only difference is, that the French were successful while the Dorrites were not!

A fc-t'years since a Catholic Convent at Charlestown was burnt, and its female inmates dispersed and abused—their property destroyed and no reparation malt. And now the enlightened and liberal Legisla- | tywwf the commonwealth refuse to incorporate a Chtbolic College at Worcester, because these legis lators, forsooth, have different religious notions from these of the petitioners! All that the Catholics asked the privilege of holding property for educational purposes—to sue and be sited—as other colleges.— Ttfe institution was designed for the benefit of Cath- | o!i|s, exclusively, and the refusal to give them an acwjf incorporation is, therefore, strangely inconsist- | 1 ontiwith that principle of toleration, which the consti- J tatlons of nearly all our States allow, in such inat j tcX But one step further can Massachusetts go in j this respect—and that is to prohibit the Catholics j bufiding churches, holding office, or worshipping ; Gad, according to the dictates of their consciences! , ; Oil upon all such narrow-minded and anti-republican policy.

The recepta- j cle of secret denunciations, of the reports of privi- j leged spies, of the base information of eaves drop pers. murdering reputation without responsibility, the 1 fabled year of Dionysius was but the type of what, ! under such circumstances, the post office would bo-! come. From tbe same April 27,17.47. “ Reform ” the order of the DAT. —It is with : sadness of spirit that wr perform the duty of daily announcing the removal from public office of men everv way unecceptionable.to make wayfor mere par tisans; by which exchange every branch of the pub” j lie service cannot but materially suffer. This same Intelligencer now supports Gen. Tay- j lor for doing that which he so bitterly denounced ! Gen. Jackson for doing in 1829! But “ audi alte ram partem ” —hear the other aide ! From the Wash. Union, July 24, 18 1.7. “The removals which have been made have hern imperiously called for by a decided and irresistible public sentiment. Other removals will no doubt be necessary, and will not be prevented by the sense less clamor of the Whigs. Justification of a tnea snre is uncalled for *p power by If I .J imunlaryTuuragc^ii^^^S^^ojile. and industriously engaged in carrying out the will i of that majority, securely rests confidence in the hon esty and intelligence of the masses, and in the pres sent case is in no danger of being diverted from its purpose by the interested revilings of bitter opponents. Front tbe Waih. Globe May 10, 1815. No vicious, incompetent, faithless men, of any par ty, we think, can retain or obtain office under the present Administration. No man who has reached office by “indirect, crooked ways”—who caine in j bi) ousting better men, ami by transferring their alle f iance, homage, and service to the Power at whose ands they begged it. can hvpe. to seem their gains in the way they got them. No worthy, capable, useful functionary, whose merits at first obtained, have con tinued him in office, no matter how long, need fear i the loss of that offipe which he so reputably acquired j ami retains. But no Irian who holds office through i life, being continued by one Administration after an- j other, should mistake the tertuhs by which he holds it. It is not his olßce, hut the People's —and he is suffered to retain it. not because the retention is ben eficial to him , but to the Public. ***** All the offices held at the will of the Executive arc supposed by the constitution to be reached by the ren ovating principle in the re-election of every Chief I Magistrate. If he be chosen by the people to change , the principles and measures of his predecessor in the j conduct of the Government, to reform abuses, and put it oil anew tack, he his the power mainly through 1 changing its agents. Again, the Union of Sept. 29, 1818, copies with approbation, as follows, from the i\.'V. Tew onn: ? “ The sore-headed and federal papers in this State arejnsllrow whining over the the removalof some thirty of forty disunion Postmasters. Forgetting j that they are advocates for‘proscription’to the bit ter end when in power themselves, they discourse with well feigned pathos over the cruelty of remov- ; ing front office for opinion’s sake. “From what we have heard from Washington lately, wc are satisfied that the Postmaster General is ( merely removing such of his deputies as are notori- , ousiy laboring to subvert the constitution of the Uni ted States, which they have sworn to support, or may be using their offices against tltecause of Democracy j in the present canvass. All the real Democrats and ! other patriots will thank the Postmaster General lor depriving such of his subordinates of official opper- : tunities to do mischief.” After being thus posted as opinions ; of these organ-grinders at Washington, let the read er pick up the “National Intelligencer” and the “ Union,” of the past two months, and see “ how the cat jumps now!” The latter is filled with groans, jeremiads and lamentations about removals for opin ion’s sake—“proscription”—the “axe in motion"— the “guillotine at work”—“more heads off”—“the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church,” Sec.. &c., while the former is laboring to prove all that the Union and the Globe of 1345 said, on the sub ject, to be the true doctrine, and to disprove the cor rectness of its own opinion in 1829! What then is the conclusion ? Why that they are both right and both wrong, or, in other vuonfaVthat there is one set of political maxim* and doctrines for the “ ins” and another feir the “outs,” which are practised by each set, accorofSjf as the/respective parties come into possession of the pots,” of the nation—or are kicked away therefrom, in the quadrennial revolution of the wheels of Government! Verily, politics is a strange juggle, which honest minds in vain may seek to comprehend ! CneLEKA.—This scourge prevails at Louisville, Ky.,and St. Louis, Mi. We have reason to believe, also, that it still exists to a dreadful extent in New Orleans. * , Appointments.—The following appointments have baewtnade for Baltimore.: George P. Kane, Coffee tor ;T. King, of Carroll, Naval Officer ; Elias T. Griffith Surveyor ;C. T. aladttot. Post "mowfef.J/VrKen*, Marshall. The New Yobk Riot.—Twenty five persons were killed and 23 wounded at tbe grand row which came of New York, last week. Twenty thousand pefSons had assembled at the Astor Piece Opera House, to wreak vengeance upon M’Cready the English Tragedian, for offences said to have been committed against Forrest, the American Actor, when the latter was in The rioting was believed to be over at 2 P. Mi Monday. Progress of Manufactures. —Dr. Sledge is about to establish in Augusta Ua. an extensive Leather Manufactory. The ‘Chronicle’ reccom ends a large Shoe Factory in connection or co operation with the tannery. Small Pox.— Atlanta is quite free from this disease, and from the Report of Maj. Cooper, for the week ending May 8., there have been but three new cases at the Iron Works, and those convalescent. No new cases at Carters viile. Horrible! —Miss Letitia S. Blaisdell, a young girl of New Boston, N. H., has been tried for poison* iiig her foster-mother and an infant child, and sen tenced to be hung on the 30th August! More Horrible. —Thomas Newkirk, of Jeflerson county, Ky. took down a gun, placed the mmtrie thereof to the head of his own mother, tired and kill ed her. He afterwards was found in the Woods, 9 miles oiT, dead, having committed suicide !! Most Horrible.— James Haugfitafing'of Lisle, Browne county, N. Y., was recently murdered by his own son, eight years of age. The father was a drunkard, and while in the field, p’oughing, with his son, laid the down in the furrow and went asleep.— The lad unhitched the team, took it home, procure,! a sharp axe, returned to the fieltl dm! chopped btf the head of his father and then kicked it away several feet! On being questioned why lie did it, he said that his father was a drunken scamp, and had beaten him the day before while intoxicated !!! The boy has since been tried, but acquitted on the grounds of moral incompetcncy to commit what the law calU murder. Slave Abductiox.—A man named Smith, has been detect'd at Richmond, Va., in attempting to abduct two slaves and take them north. They were packed in a box and to be forwarded by express.— The secret having leaked out, Smith was captured at Fredericksburg, by means of the Telegraph; brought back to Richmond and lodged in jail. “The Americas Mechanic.” —Mr. Wm. ll.Roy a’ f-rmerlv of Atlanta, has commenced the publica tion of anew paper, of this title at Athens, Ga.— The Ist No. is a fair specimen ol typography, and if the work is supported by Ihbse for whose interest* it is to be devoted, we have no doubt it will be a useful sheet. An “ Association of Mechanics” will edit the paper. Price 81 per annum. The Darkies Rising !— Four negro* have recent ly received appointments from the Government, at Washington, in the capacity of Messengers and La borers—one in the State Department, two in tho Treasury and one iii the Department of the Interior. The latter was a servant to Maj. Webster, in Mexi co, and was warmly recommended hv the “God-Like Daniel.” Progress. — Anew Hook and Ladder Com pany has just becu organized in this city, com. posed of juveniles of both sexes !
