Wo understand that a proposition has been ade by responsible persons, to lease the ate Road, at the rate of $1525,000 per an- Rcasonable and plausible as the propo- ii>n nmy scum, we are decidedly opposed to acceptance. YVe have lor a long time been ler the impression that the Road when freed run debt under proper management, wonld iv into the State Treasury $500,000 per an- imu. We arc still of the same opinion, l consequently we are opjx>sed to any ensure by which tlic State of Georgia and its ■pie. are to he deprived of the benifitsof tin; at work, wliicli has l»een built up at such large outlay of money, and for which the pie of the $tatc have been so heavily taxed, ’he time lia* now arrived when the benelicial esults of this great enterprise are about to be •ttlised. and to thrust this great boon from us this time, wonld we < oneeive.be the height folly. Gov. Brown in his late message, reposed to risk bis whole private fortune, that he road tor a series of years will pay $300,- 00 per annum. We do not consider the pro- sitiou by any means’ a desperate ono. His xecllency takes no risk really in this offer, i while there is a fair prospect of this work ing into the State Treasury even S300.000 annum, wo are opposed to its passing into ther hands Tlic Stntp Treasury. Weare indebted to the Hon. Jared I. \V hita- . Senator from Fulton county, for n copy of Report of the Treasurer of the State of ng in, for the fiscal year, just closed, and other important documents. 15y the Hsurer’s Report it appears tiiat tlie assets verv kind on hand a year ago, added to the. :ipts since that time amount to $1,201.- .2'.'. that tlie payments for the same pe- xl have been $745,480,04, leaving a balance $455,918,C5 on hand. The Public Debt of e.State on tlio 20th Oct. last, is set down the Treasurer at $2,(530,500. The receipts the year 1859, are estimated at $013,000; « expenses at $471,150. In the items ma- g up the estimates of the receipts into the asury for next year, the Treasurer has pier committed a palpable error, or very ich under estimated the receipts from one [>ortant source—we mean the nett earnings the State Road. This lie puts down at [>0,000. for tlio year. We are at a loss to iceive how Mr. Trippe could have commit- such an error. in the very teeth of Gov. bwn’spledge that it would pay $300,000 j r annum ami the offer of Messrs. Collins & to lease it for $325,000, How Mr. Trippe a explain this we arc at a loss to perceive, th this exception the report is highly sutis- tory, and very creditable to the excellent r why presides over the State Treasury. The Stale Road. We took occasion yesterday to speak in ms of disapprobation of tlie prop •silion to se the Stato Road to a company of private iividuals. To-day we publish the Bill in- iuced for the purpose of consumatiug this icme, also the proposition of the corporators 10 offer to relieve the State of the burden of naging this great work. The bill itself, pears very fair upon its face, and everything >ks plausible. The parties who propose to into this contract are men of well known jponsibility, and of extensive reputation ns aucicrs, and we have no doubt, that in eir hands, the prolits of the road would be glil v remunerative. But wo are as much posed as ever to seeing this work pass be~ jnd tlio control of the people of Georgia.—• »i liclievo that it can l* made to pay morn ian Messrs. Coll ins A Co., proffer to give for and the people of Georgia arc as much en- ;led to the benefit of such an increase, ns u ivate corporation. In addition to this, the [>ud wi# built bv tlie whole people of the ntc ; designed to develope the vast resources the Cherokee country and to contribute to e prosperity of other works of internal im- oveiuent. Should the Western & Atlantic 11 Road become either temporarily orper- unently, the property of private individuals, c objects and aims of its .construction above inded to might Iks in a great measure l'rus- ited. Hence we sav let well enough alone ; t the road remain ns it is, the property of the ate. Removal of the Penitentiary. Tlie enemies and envier* df Atlanta, on read ing the above heading, we presume will take it for granted, that we have started out to write on article in favor of removing the Penitentia ry to this place. Oh yes, say they, every thing in tlie way of State favor, must go to Atlanta! This class of our readers will be disappointed for once. We arc not going to advocate any such movement. But we are in favor of the removal of this institution from its present lo cation. Dip walls and buildings are in a di lapidated condition, and the necessity is im posed upon the State, of rebuilding it at its present location or somewhere else. In 1855, we think it was, an act was passed authorizing the removal to the Stone Mountain, but by some hocus pocus, or other management of. unknown character, a part of tlie act. was lost, mislaid or destroyed, and the whole project failed. We arc among the number of those who doubt whether the location of the Peni tentiary in this city, would enure to the gen eral benefit of our citizens. It might promote the interests of some, but at the same time it | would bo inimical io tlic great body ofourmc- j chunics—a large and useful class of our popu- ! lation. A large portion of the peoplo of Alil- lcdgevillc have long deemed it an injury and nuisance to that place, and have been, and are yet anxious to get rid of it. It Is a matter of importance to the people of tlie State, that it should be located at some place whore tlic con victs can be more profitably employed, than at its present site. The Stone Mountain or some other location convenient to granite, timber, and other raw material, and on some of our grout thoroughfares, would bo- an advan tageous change, and wonld no doubt result greatly in favor of the financial affairs of that concern. [From the Daily Federal Uukm.J Georgia Legislature. SENATE. Saturday Morning, Nov. 6th, 1858. The Senate was called to order by the Presi dent, at 10 o'clock.

Mr. Johnson of Fayette amended bv tilling certatn blanks ill the bill. Mr. Whitaker by altering the county in some respect. A memorial was then read, signed by about 1,500 voters of the twocounties. Mr. Wil- coxon, ot Coweta, said he was opposed to the presage of the bill, on the ground that there was no necessity for the county. He hail uhderstood. from good authority, that a great many of the names were not voters of the county, and some were even fictitious. He was opposed to cutting up the old counties, tiie speaker had referred to the remarks made I and building up Jonesboro, at the expense of by him on yesterday, and seemed to base his I the county sites of Henry and Fayette.

Troup is a capital fellow, an excellent editor, and we regret ^arture from the editorial corps.—Couri- tataman. Prlm-ipla Non Homines. Under ibis caption the Atlanta Intelligencer says : “Wo wish that our cotemporaries of the op position Press had the sagacity to perceive that ours is a party organised and designed to carry out great ‘principles,’ and not to ad vance the interest*; ol particular 'men.' " Vo can assure our friends of the Intelligencer that wc fully appreciate tlic designs of democ racy, and readily admit that it has been emi nently successful in carrying out ns principles without regard to men, or the country. We would therefore recommend that they adopt the following mol to in place of tlie above cap tion—' ‘Softs prindpia —Sant Homines.'' Angli cised—“without principles—without men.”— Ha\ ing carried out their small stock of princi ples, the menace incontinently carrying them selves out of democracy, which is now reduced to seditious and antagonist factions. We clip the above front the J uiced &>■ Mes senger of 10th inst. It hears the car marks of our cotemporary, Brother Knowles. Il he could unstring himself a hit. and let himself down a little from that lofty eminence of par ty acerbity with which his pen has been tinctured l'or several years past, we opine that lm would not have said, that the Democratic Party is “Srtns principia,” Sans Homines,' which being interpreted means, "without principles,” “without men.” Brother K. certainly ought to know, that the Democratic Party is a party of well defined principles. It never goes into n political light without laying down a platform of principles, so plain, “that "the wayfaring man. though a tool, need not err therein.'’ As for being without men our cotemporary is certainly wide of the mark. The misfortune with the Democratic party has often Wen that it had too many men. Along its pathway may be seen the poiltical graves ol'Van Buren and others of small ercali- ber, who in this connection shall be nameless. Brother Knowles has certainly committed a great mistake which wo trust he will take tlie jarliost opportunity to correct. Downing Htll Nursery. A catalogue of tho “fruit and ornamental trees, &c., cultivated and for sale by Peters Harden. & Co.,” has just been laid upon our table. Wo are highly gratified with tho suc cess of this enterprise. In the advertisement of the catologue we rend that : "Afewyearsftgo.no ono behoved that our Southern Apples would keep throughout the Winter ; that lino Pears could he grown at the South, or that the Peach season could be ex tended more than three months. Now we have native Southern Apples that will keep perfectly sound and sweet until the earliest varieties ripen in May ; delicious Pears that will keep throughout tbo Winter ; and Peach es ripening in regular succession from June to tho middle of November. Wc hope that this company will continue to meet with abundant patronage. Tlie pres! ent Proprietors have greatly enlarged their Nursery by adding to it “upwards of two hun dred acres. for the purpose of testing and pro ving Fruits.” Every man ought to try to render his home attractive and comfortable, and he can do much to accomplish this result, by gathering around It, a choice selection of "fruit and ornamental trees and flowers.”— A home blessed with these surroundings, has something refining and cheerful in its influ ence. We learn to look ou all its natural or naments. as familiar friends and if after years of absence, and many a hard fought battle in tlic groat warfare of life, we are permitted to return again to the loved old home, where our parents raised us, liow our hearts leap for joy at the prospect of cooling our care-worn brows in tlio same shades, where we spent many a pleasant youthful hour and feasted up on the delicious fruits of tlie surrounding nur series and made many a beautiful boqnet, for our, as we then thought, more beautiful sweet heart! “Home, sweet home.” how sweet that homo of ours, embowered with lucious fruits and lovely flowers !
