Middle Ground Kail Hoad.
Mr. Editor. - At tlie close of my last arti
cle I stated that I would write you something
f-T this number, more pertinent to the mute or
line of tiie road. Upo > reflection, I deem it
prudeut jiot to forestall the engineer l ut wait
his report. 13m that u good location can he
obtained for the ent re line, there is not a
doubt; 1 am informed that it will not lie a her
culean task to cut a pass through the pine Mt.
at King s Gap Almost i very Hoad in Geor
git has more or less up and down grade. It
is a fact that a safe <oad may be eonstrn ted
npoa a grade of forty-live feet per m le. Then to
sum up the whole mat er in a vv rd toe route
is practical. Napoleon, when about to essay
a difficult passage over die Alps, o ee upon a
time, enquired of the guide, ‘is (he route prac
t ticable ?’ ‘'Non Sire, ‘ was the sad r. spouse
Then, said the conquer r of ha f the world, to
to his staff, we had better set ibout tie* march
a* soon as posible,cre another fal of snow ren
ders the way more dilfi ult of pas age, for w.
must res*, at our ouipos s b fore the enemy
perceive our manoeuvring Then, fellow cit -
r*iis of Harris, resolve at once to set about
this task of buildin.- a road to our very tioors
through your yard if you nad rath r, before
the iron gets cold. Strike while the iron is
hot and success will crown your effo ts. Von
have some fine speakers in your mi st, get
them to harangue tne multitudes fV< iu the
rostrum, the highways the Hill’ ami V llevs,
let them put a tongue in every rock, mid make
every man put his shoulder to the win el, aim
attempt to build up the road as Uidthe citizens
o f Jerusalem their walls—before their own
•doors.
Do you want arguments to show you iluif
■you must build this Road? I)-. o wish to
stand still and see your brothers of -isu-r coun
tie* all pa-sing bv in ge**rgeous pomp, ridiu
on the flying c ir, and you iike the captive
Knight, chained in your fetters ? God for in
that I or you should throw a st<me in the way
of a noble enterprise. If you are not in favoi
of the road hold your peace and 1 t t ose givi
their might who are able and w limg.
Will it hurt Hamilton byintr. duri g a ail
Road within its limits ? By no means; n<tli
ing can hurt your quiet pleasant little town
but fire and flood. I venture the predict io
that real estate ‘ ould be enhanced twenty
five percent, as soon as the cars -hou and m.iki
their first trip to our place. You have tie
groes who might do wonder* in grad ng the
Road, aid in procuring cross ties, and each
baud might make you isree hundred do lrs
per annum iu stok, which would pay tight
per cent iu less time than three years from t lit.
completion of the Road.
Will the Press of Griffin, Columbus, and
Atlanta and .Montgomery Ala., gve us some
light upon the sui-ject? In aii great enter
prise we tnu t invoke the p wer of let i * rs. I
would again suggest, that a meeting of the
citizens of Harris county, favorable io the
speedy construction of the Middle (.round
Rooad, be called at an early day, t<> deliln r
ate upon the matter, and set the ball properly
ia motion.
Respectfully Yours.
HAMILTON.

We hare studiously avoided, heretofore, al
discussion upon the extraordinary state of us
fairs that have prevailed iu ;he Tr- it-.ry oi
Kansas for many months past, Io king upon
the controversy as one fraught witn eminen
peril, aud not wishing to add, by one ill ad
vised word, to the excitemnt already pervad
ing the publie mind of the South. Ilowt vei
averse we may be, though, to fanning tie
flames of discord, the questions arising out of
the settlement of that Territory are f t o
great and imra diate importance for us to re
fuse, at this day, to look h m st rnly in the
face. That there has been no more set ling m
the South on this question, ad that they have
abstained from all lawless and intemperate
mea.-ures in regard lo it, is the strongest evi
dence of patriotism and sincere attuchm nt to
the Union, that has been given by < ur peo
ple since the foundation of the government
> v e do net propose to discuss the late extra
ordinary course ot events hat has transpired
iu that territory, they have been duly rei < it
ed in our columns, and t e publie are fanii iar
with the facts. We simply wish to take them
as they stand, and to eont mplate for a in -
merit the const quences that must necessarily
result from so deplorable a st te of ffa rs.
It is well known that for a year past a rcur
ular and legitimate govt mine t has been in
operation in Kansas. It was organized un
der the law of Congress passtd for that pur
pose, and in accord nee with tne provisions of
the same A governor was duly a, pointed
by the President of the United States ad
under his order mi election was held fo* mem
bers to a Teiri oral legislator . This d* tic
Government was fully organized, nd proceed
ed to the exercise of its legitiniat pow> rs and
jurisdiction. This gjuvernmeir h s been r> cog
nised as regular and legal by the fedei 1 a
th-rities; yet the minority, who wee defeated
in the election of membi rs io the h-gislatu e
and a delegate to Congress, becoming dissat
isfied, couspi ed with huge l>- dies of m wlv.ur *
rived emigrant a, .-ent oil f r the expire* s ,ur
pose by the abolition societies <f t e Nortm
to subvert the ex sting government ami u>
establish one of their own iu its st a 5 So
far as the forms of organization is comre no <i,
this project lias been fully consiimated
new Governor and anew legislature a\e he. o
chosen, and duly inaugurated, while a secon
delegate to Congres ias been day eo.nii
aioued and sent on to the federal capital. A!!
this has been done, confessedly without any
authority of law whatever, but solely in iu
suance of the parties engaged in the m vc
ment.
Such is the condition of aflf.is in K. nsas
at the present moment. That the mm govern
mentscan exist together and over e sain
territory, is simply imposible. A confl et
mint arise, and that speedily. The ultimate
issue of such a conte t no m ot can te: ; y- t no
patriot can contemplate the pro p ct wit. > ut
alarm
There is another feature in this extrao.-di
nary movement that gives a still mo e low r
iug aspect,.and painful interest, io the whole
quest ion. The controversy is •ot confin* and t.
the distant and comparative y insignifie nt
Territory that skirts the base of the R cky
Mountains. Were this the case, there might
be some prospect of adjustment either by a
peaceful iiittT| osition of Congress, or by t 1 e
equally effective, but painful reso t, the mili
tary |wwer of the federal arm. Our preset
Chief Magistrate has hud his attention turned
to this latter alternative, and stands pledged
to the country to put it into execut on should
the emergencies? of the case demand so serious
a measure. But while it is easy to take Mich
• position in a measure to • ougres-, we . j
preheud ijftre would be no slight and ffiettlly m
carrving it out by practical r- dem. tioo ot the
promise. There is a large body of-men- in the
led ra legislature, representing, as we believe
a in jority of the | eople of the Northern S ates
who sympathise with all these lawless move
men\s in Kansas, and liavt resolved to sand
by ami pro'* c; the traitors who have set them
j foot. They const tute nearly a full m- iety
lof the present Ho se of Representatives, and
i s ''Mil determined ! o maintain their posit o > and
itohuivyon the country to that disastrous
consummation ii is so rapidly approaching.
Now, should a conflict arise in Kansas and
the President order the army thither to sub
due it and should the North carry out its
pledges to these fanatical revolut onisis, what
is to be the result ? Tin* war may begin up
on the soil f Kan-as, but w here is it to end ?
These are solemn questi ns, and we ardently
h pe there is enough of wisdom a; and i-a riot sin
n the country to solve them m someway short
lan appeal to arms. There is but one hope
that comes w thin the read', of our own vision:
i he North must recede, or civil commotion, em
broiling the entire Union, is inevitable — Sar.

Gentlemen : Having experienced the beneficial effects of
Dr. McLane's Celebrated Liver Pills, I take great pleasure
in recommending them to the public. 1 feel warranted in
-oying, that they are a certain cure for liver complaints,
mil all billions diseases, no matter how difficult or long
-binding. I my.el; was afflicted with this dreadful disease
■rover two years, and oh! how than kful lam that 1 heard
•i’ these Pills I purchased of one of your agents three
e xes, and before 1 iiad finished the third box, was com
pletely cured. 1 verily believe, but for Dr McLane’s Liver
Pills, I should have now been in my grave ; but as it is. 1
mi now enjoying the best of health, and stand a living wit
ess of the efficiency of Dr McLane's Liver Pills. Be
sides recovering my health, 1 consider that I have saved in
■iy pocket some two or three hundred dollars physician’s
t-tvs
This testimony I give you with the greatest pleasure, and
■i ipe it may do something towards making there* invalua.

At a called, communication of Sharon Gr ve Lodge. No
152, held at the Lodge Room, Feu. 19, 1856, the following
preamble and resolutions were nffeied by the committee,
and adopted by the Lodge, to wit :
Whereas, the grim monster, Death, has invaded our mys
tic cir-le, and ly order of the Supreme Architect of the
Universe, has removed the tie which has so long bound our
deceased brother, JAMES MoLEROY, to our Order ; and
whereas, another column has been broken in our stately ed
ifice, another of the principal supporters of Masonry has
fallen, and the Craft like the weeping Virgin, depicted on
the Master’s monument, mourn while they read the record
of the many virtues of this amiable, distinguished and ex
emplary brother. Man that is born of a woman, is of few
days and lull of trouble. He cometh forth as a flower, and
is cut down : he tieeth also as a shadow, and continucth
not. But our sorrow is not without consolation. We trust
that what has been our loss is his eternal gain. And we
are assured by all the lessons we have learned beneath the
evergreen Acacia,that our beloved brother, having wrought
his allotted time on earth with all fidelity.and having passed
the middle chamber of this transitory life,has rec< ived the
rich rewards of a worthy craftsman ; that by the Omnific
word of the Grand Master of the Universe, lie has been
raised from corruption t<> incorruption, and called fr m the
labors ot an earthly to the divine refreshment of a celestial
Lodge. Therefore,
Resolved, That iu token of our respect for his memory,
we will accompany his remains to the home appointed for
all living, and there deposit the same with the usual eere
n'i nv ot our Order.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympathise with the afflicted
family and bereaved friends of our deceased brother.
Resolved, That a blank page be left iu the books of the
Lodge, on which shall be inscribed the name of our deceas
ed brother, with the day of his birth and death.
Resolved, That a copy of the above be presented to the
widow and orphans of our dec-eased brother, with the seal
of the Lodge attached to the same, and that a copy be sent
to the Signet & Journal, and to the editors of the Griffin
papers, for publication.
