From tae H.tmilt <n Organ. 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. The KaiiMH Ainbrogllo. 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. Hep.

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.
