VHE southern witness r .sATURH4y 3 .JU^L. 2 > 1870 .MACON AND KNOXVILLE R. R. Christy of the Watchman said, he had attained all'lie wanted, the very thing at which he had “pegg ed”. for years, when the Stockholders •of the Ga., Railroad passed a resolu i,ion authorizing the extension of the Athens Branch:—But we are not sat isfied with simply a resolution, we are “pegging away” for large subscription, •for earnest effort, for consolidated •power, in a word, we will not be satis fied with anj’ thing short of the Rail road itself and pulling engines and freighted cars and growing cities. We must have it, our necessities demand it, our prosperity depends on it, our interests are jeopardized if wc neg lect it. We mu*t have it, for provi dence,,as with the finger of destiny, has pointed out’this route. If we fail, it will be a gross violation of the law of circumstances and a most palpable rejection of nature's invitation. Every thing is auspicious—one thing alone is to be dreaded, namely, the inertness, the want of earnest action on the part of our people. But read the following Hotter, -received by one of our most prominent citizens, from a high Rail road official. llis opinion is well ma tured andyhe .has an experience that intrtles his opinions to high respect.— But is the letter: Macon, Ga., June, 25, 1870. Dear Sir : Yours of 22, inst., at hand. The route which would encounter the least •difficulty in the way of building the Mooon & Knoxville Railroad,is unques tionably the line following the ridge East of the Ocmulgce River. This line leads by Monticello, Social Circle, Monroe’Ac., Unless diverted by outside influen ces, there is little doubt but that the surveys will develops the truth of the above. My impression being that this will save at least $5,000 per mile in the grading, and probably SIO,OOO, over any r other route that is projected. The topography of the country in Middle and North Georgia, giving a vast advantage in a ridge route over one following the valleys of the streams. If you could abandon the idea of “State Aid - ’ and relyon your own effort for building the Road, it would'be vastly preferable, ' Respectfully Yours, * * * HiSisuggestion is a good one—the Road cannot spring up itsell by magicr neither will it draw itself along through this country like a serpent and it would be vaifcQjresumption to hope for the State teftuild it.

Who was to Blame? ADELINE WETJIORE. “May you never be ashamed of your new son!"’ said a gentleman in a light, merry tone as he turned to his host and raised a wine-glass to his lips. All within bearing smiled, not mei’ely at the brusque manner in which the 'toast was given, but at the idea that shame could be attached to the name of Edward Fowler, he who the hour before, with solemn vows on his lips, stood at the altar with Mary Tup per. At these wedding festivities the con gratulations were most hearty—“a capital, most suitable match,” echoed all voices. And no one seemed more pleasant and satisfied than did Mr. Tupper, who fl#ughtrf, orjfcsitation to the man of her clioiML jjaS popu lar. No young main in the city of Bos ton had higher or brighter prospects, either in private or professional ifrfe. ; A few years before he had been admit ted to the bar, and had already acquir ed honor ami distinction. on the return from their bridal trij Mr. and Mrs. Fowler went to a beautiful little home which Mr. TupperTia‘dft)oj%lwfancl given them, 'taliis present vras very complete, house was every nejected comfort and and the 'happy pair might%ellpiink that had yip.t a mjEratified. jEI J ' V ery earlca in the. days, while planning tor soclfil festivi tieip Mr. Fowler said: “Your father hjs genejpnsly supplied us \jfth choice nne We do not use'them, '-jg [east on cur table.” * ' // * “Oh!*nonsense;rtiow*dine jfca-'t'm think of anyth#g»« l his wife. ‘“Because, if we offer wine to one, we mu* to all our guests, and I have sev erdfyoung gentleman friends to*whom T Should not think it mrtit to give the temptimg cup.” w “I have never,” said Mrs. Fowler, been so inhospitable as to give cold water to my friends, and I cannot com mence now; itwould.be shabby.” “But wouldn’t it be right?” saiiWnP Fowle'L “No?’ replied drinks, too much, it is his own fault, not yours.” During this conyrsationM per joined them, iyipthrew hisjJPujßoe rt/cidfedly ven cowardly, tenyicrence sPn-in-law!

Too much heat will kill a man; yet I flHh- this bright lire, and this glass of old sherry My in all things, none.” Fowler was silenced, but rtßßon¥fficed. Afterwards be bitterly •fegi •etted that he had not the real that time to take the deci ded step he knew to be right, especial ly as he was haunted by the lurking fear that he himself was fostering a real appetite for this stimulant.' Ah! soon it not merely cheered, but it ine briated him. In the years that followed, his little wine cellar w r as filled and emptied many times, and Mrs. Fowler's heart emptied of all happiness and hope. ~~ Intoxication has many and various forms by which it kills souls and bod ies of its victims. With EdwardrFow ler the work was sure but slow, Ilis wife saw him gradually lose self con Itrol, self respect, liis interest j ding in his profession, and in society. Yet he lived a long life, a by-word and a reproach. Neither Mrs. Fowler nor Mr. Tup per ask, “AVho is to blame?” their own hearts give answer.—Nat. Temp.

The Richmond Dispatch, in an admi rable articel, exposes this fresh fanat icism of New England, and, apropose of.the present pig-tail idol, and the future use to be made of him, sins: j “So the negro has been praised—so i lie has been exalted above the white man—and so lie has burn used.
