A common need in all embryo cities is uily of opinion and action in whatever dates to material progress. While it is possible for nil men to see alike, (and isely bo) yet there should be an amount liberality iu opinion as to the merits of y various projects which may be osseu- [ftl to solid prosperity indulged, to allow eir prosecution, though the better mode ve fewer friends. Wo remember on o occasion to have heard the remark, nch a railroad has cost the city half a illion dollars more than a judicious use if the funds would warrant.” But then, id another, we’vo got the road; without wo would not have had it, and real Os lo bo worthless: all of which is true, .trip the iron from your roads to-day, and ho so simple as to take your million of al estate] at fifty cents in the dollar? ,xts and owls would be your tenents, and isolation brood over your streets. We teed, thou, union of sentiment, union i f ction. We need a wise liberality iu city uprovoments as well as fmvate. We oed to indulge in great charity for the pinion of our fellows who pull iar iu our boat. A back stroke vliilo under headway, might be oxceed- ngly disastrous. Go with him, if ho will lot with you, and so reach the haven of lope, to which every good citizen of this 'oung giant of trade looks so confidently, jst us bury once for all, differences of ipiuion as to minor details of the battle >efore us, and uniting move on in solid olumns, advance to the goal of our hopes, ind we cannot fail to build up a ‘city on theso hills second to none, and whose in kiest shall be felt, not only in Eastern Alabama, but throughout the State. Wo hould not for a moment, indulge the idea hat our position is naturally strong, for the reverse is the truth. A railway from Auburn to Union Springs would give that place as many bales of cotton and about as much trade as we oh joy to-day. The interest of other places aud of other peo ple havo given the opportunity, and we have wisoly picked up the good dropped before us, aud it is ours to improve, to build up, to enjoy, aud leave as an inher itance for our children. Wo cannot, iu this day of change of values incident to railroad towns, count with certainty the results of ten or twenty years, and it is wise now, to-day, to so hedge in our pre sent good aud futnro progress as that cir cumstances shnll not render comparative ly valueless the arduous labors of a life time. N illicitly, but for the winds which came whistling over the blue hills and far away, was an exceedingly enjoyable day. Large congre gations were out at the various churches, nud were doubtless well repaid for their two hours of devotion. As usual, the reg ular ministers of the churchos officiated, doubtless with their accustomed zeal and ability. Public School. Wo learn with pleasure that this insti tution is being tilled up rapidly with pu pils, aud the various teachers are in place prepared to discharge their onerous du ties. Wo lind the greatest opposition to this systoui comes from au unexpected qnartor. Those who uro least able to pay are least inclined to patrouizo it. Iletfiilarity— System. If the Western Road does not pay divi dends to its stockholders it will not be for want of propor management in the move ments of its traius. We have learned to look for the puff and whirr of its daily trains with ns much certainty us a well-to- do man docs his breakfast, or a toper his grog. To record a run oil’ or smash up, or serious detention of passengers or freight, is ono of the lost arts. With Ball iu the lead, aud Bacou at the wheel, wo aro iu a bad way for sensational items. Wo might very justly say as much for both the Savannah nnd Momphis nud East Alabama uud Cincinnati Roads. Wo feel, goutlemen railroad employees, like pub licly thanking you, ouo aud ally for so much skill and attention to thi interest of tho public. Error. In a local notice of our clever friend A. A.
