Ttl« testimony of Capt. White on the
lease of the State lload, has leaked out,
and has created a wonderful amount of
guess-work and crimination. It is be
ing prematurely ventilated to the preju
dice of* the company and the embarrass
ment of the committee. Some restless,
dissatisfied ones wish to have the Leins
o
lature, wrought upon by the pressure of
public sentiment, feel that there may be
the shadow of pretext for some high
handed measures —such as authorizing
the Governor to seize the Hoad, Ac.
The publication and discussion of par
tial evidence, changing (lie aspect of
the matter almost as regularly and con
stantly as the number of witnesses in
troduced, may result injuriously to the
State, or do a gross injustice to the rep
utation of innocent persons.
W lien the work of investigation is
complete, then is the time for results to
be given to the public. Tho people
then cun make up a correct judgment,
and there will be no regrets then on ac
count of premature condemnation of any
party.
Stamps Abolished and Retained.
As it lias been a disputed question
whether certain staums were abolished
by the revenue law passed at the close
of the last session of Congress, the cor
respondent of the New Vork Journal
ot Commerce has taken especial pains
to ascertain just how far the obolition
extends.
The new law in this respect reads as
follows :
Section 3(5. That on and after the first
day of October, 1872, all the taxes itn
posed by stamps under and by virtue of
schedule B, of section 170. of the act
approved June 30, 18(51. and the acts
amendatory thereto, be and the same are
hereby repealed, excepting only the tax
of two cents ou bauk checks, drafts or
orders ; Provided, That where any mort
gage has been executed and recorded,or
may be executed and recorded, before
the first day of October 1871, to secure
flic payment ot bonds or obligations that
may tie made anil issued from time to
time, and such mortgage not Wm
stamped, all such bonds or obligations so
made and issued ou or after said first
day of October, 1872, shall not he sub
ject to any stamp duty, but only such of
their bonds or obligations as may have
been made and issued before the day
last aforesaid : And provided, further,
That in the meantime the holder of auv
instrument of writing, of whatever kind
and description, which has been made
or issued without being duly stamped,
•»r with a defunct stamp, may make ap
plication to any Collector of Internal
.Hercnuo, and that upon such applica
tion such Collector shall thereupon affix
the stamp provided by such holder upon
such instrument of writing as is required
by law to bo put upon the same, and
subject to the provisions of section 158
of the internal revenue laws.
According to the internal revenue
eir -ular soon to bo issued, this means
sibolittou in respect of the following in
strument* that now require stamps, and
the reader interested may accept this
careful epitome a.s final:
.STAMPS AUK TO lit ABObISIIKO OS

The Western and Atlantic Kail
road.
[From tlie Atlanta Sun.
The first annual report of the Pres
identand Superintendent of the Western
and Atlantic Hailroad Company has just
been issued. It contains a full report
of the operations of the road from the
27th of December, 1870—the date of
the lease —to the Ist of January, 1872
—covering a period of four days more
than a year.
During this time the earning from all
sources have aggregatedsl,3o7,742 (JO.
and expenses have been $1,078,705 11.
or $381,022 51 in excess of the earn
ings.
The President, Gov. Joseph E.
Drown, in his report says, when the les
see.? took charge of the road it was in the
worst possible condition it Cunldbe tube
in operation at all. Tiie’cngines, cars rails
and tanks all gave } evidence of hard
usage. The track was in a wretched
and unsafe condition, and the rolling
stock totally inadequate to the business
of* the road.
During the year the company have
laid down about twenty-six miles of
new iron, and have purchased seven
new engines, 215 new box cars and 12
new coal cars, and made extensive re
pairs on the old ones. About 40 miles
of new iron will have to be laid during
the present year. Hut this is above the
average of annual repairs that will be
necessary to keep the road up.
The President estimates that, in ad
dition to the regular outlay for iron, the
company will, each year, have to pay
for 3] engines and 125 ears of all de
scriptions. To this will be added the
expense of keeping up 2G bridges, ag
gregating a length of 5,550 feet—all
more or less decayed.
Hut the President finds his most dis
couraging view of the situation in the
competing lines which are dividing the
b usi 11 ess with the road. A few years ago
it held a monopoly of the western freight
business, but that monopoly is now lost,
and the present business of the road
will be depreciating by new lines which
are approaching completion. The roads
that hare already interfered in this mo
nopoly are the Selma, Home and Dalton,
and the Alabama and Chattanooga,
which carry off large amounts of freights
formerly passed over the Western and
Atlantic, in order to reach consumers in
Alabama.
He looks forwaid to still further de
preciation through the South and North
Uou.l, which, during the present year,
win completed, tnnn'mir continuous
line between Montgomery and Louisville
cutting off nearly all the Alabama bus
iness. Again, he says, the Atlanta and
Kiehuiond Air-Line, which will proba
bly be completed during the present
year, will materially lessen the revenue
from passenger business. And he sees
less immediate competition in the roads
from Columbus to Chattanooga ; from
Macon to Knoxville, and the Georgia
Western from Atlanta to its intersec
tion with the South and North Hoad of
Alabama.
But the President says he dots not
cite these facts for the discouragement
of tlie lessees. They cannot afford to
, fail, and must go to work to overcome
the difficulties that are in the way. To
i Jo this he advocates the development of
the mineral resources of the couurty be
tween Atlanta and Chattanooga, and
the encouragement of home industry and
manufacturing of every kind along the
line of the road, and the growth of the
cities named. lie recommends that
(hi* be done it necessary, bv a judetous
outlay of reasonable amounts of capital.
In addition to this he looks to the se
curing of and operating long lines, of
milieu ilt is shall be a link, reaching far
into the \\ csfc, thus getting control of
freights in distant western cities. A
line to Bt. Louis, Muasouri, is already
worked in harmony with the Stats Load,
and cars run through from Atlanta to
that city. Steps hafoe also been taken
to open a line, by" way of Knoxville to I
Cincinnati and Louisville, which will
be owned by tlie friends of the Lessees
hy which arrangement be hopes, in « few
years to run through cars to Chattauoo- |
ga. This,however.will involveanjespendi- I
ture of some SS,U().Uj(KM)., which must b ;
done, or they run a very great hazard of
failure.
In summing, up the situation hesavs:
Hy judicions.caref’u 1 management .;;i;d
the exercise of close economy, and lame
investment of money, which can be safe
ly made, we hope to be able, not oilly
to meet our engagements with the State
promptly, but. in the end, to make S
reasonable profit. The obstacles in the
way may at first look to be almost insur
mountable, but I feel great confidence
that our company has the ability, the
enterprise, and the energy necessary to
secure the result.
The report of Col. E. W. Cole, Super
intendent, leiterates a great deal of
what is above coudeused from Governor
Brown’s report, and makes similar re
commendations. It contains some
items, however, worth cellceting. The
tonnage of the road for 1871 passing
South w.-.s 051.001.400 pounds, while
the tonnage going North for the same
period, only was 5 ,504,837 pounds,
showing that, of the cars coming South
loaded only otic out of every thirteen re
turned loaded.
During 1371 the company laid down
80,000 new cross tics and 32,000 cords
of wood. They will need about 30.000
more cross-ties during the year, and, du
ring the spring about 20.000 cords of
wood.
oilengines during tho year
cost $48,433 28. And seven new
freight engines were put chased at a cost
of $80,431 GG
The number of miles run by locomo
tives during the year was 000.387, and
32.300 cords of wood were consumed.
i he following is the balance sheet of
earnings and expenses, as furnished by
Superintendent Cole.

[COMMUNICATED.]
Jcm e 3d, 1572.
J fr. Editor: All who had the good
luck to hear the able address of the
learned and venerable Dr. Means before
the Agricultural Society of our grand
old county on yesterday will say that we
were not only fortunate, but blessed, in
having so great and so goflfi a man
among us.
No doubt that every man wlio heard
the words of love and wisdom as they
J
fell from his lips felt that there was a
higher and nobler destiny awaiting u; ;
then why do we l: sit all the d>y idle ”
and not. press onward to perfection ?
Why is it that noble old Gord n does not
march to the front rank in agriculture
and manufactures of every description ?
Is it because her soil is poor and refuses
to send forth her productions to man ?
No, it is not this, for the wheat she has
yielded to the faithful laborer this year
will brand even such a thought with Hie
stigma of falsehood. Old Gordon does
not give sparingly or confine her pro
ducts to one staple, but here grow clover
and the grasses in the greatest abun
dance and the highest perfection, ena
bling it to be one of the finest stock
growing countries under the sun ; and
not only does it produce all the grasses
and grain in the greatest perfection,but
cotton, the great king of commerce,
grows almost if not quite as luxuriantly
here as in any section of Georgia, so
the blame is not with the soil.
Why is it that she has not more mills
and manufacturing establishments? Is
it because ■sve m»vo. large streams to
furnish water for such purposes, or wood
for steam, if such an agency be pre
ferred ? This question cun be readily
answered if we look at the many noble
streams that ramify the country in every
direction, and the large bodies of timber
found in every locality. So the fault
lies not with nature, but ourselves.—
The giver of all good has furnished us
with a genial climate, removed from the
groat extremes of heat and cold, a fer
tile soil and fine water courses and now
it remains with us to develop these re
sources.
line resolves never raised a grain of
corn or set a spindle in motion ; nor
docs science lend a helping hand unless
we are diligent in courting her society.
It is now within the reach of every pa
rent to educate his children, and on ed
ucation. after all, depends the permanent
prosperity of a nation. Every child
should be educated sufficiently to thor
oughly understand our own language
and those branches of mathematics
needed in every day hfe, and if possi
ble let the education be extended farther,
for w ithout it we shall never be a refined
people, or make any progress in agricul
ture, the science*, or fine arts. As the
Doctor told us, i£ is not possible (and I
will add not a£ all necessary) for every
man to become a mechanic, a machinist
od - a chemist, but l s is passible for each
of us to bo able to read and understand
and to apply the knowledge of others
to our own uses when we need it. Every
farmer ought to take s uno good agricul
tural paper arid never be without some
book on agricultural chemistry. By
these means he will learn what ingredi
ents arc taken from tho soil by certain
plants, and what chomieal elements to
usG iii order to replace these ingredients,
and until we use more science in the
c iltivation of our soil, wc shall never,
as an agricultural people, take the rank
that wc should. Many of us are too
old, and too wedded to old fogy ideas to
begin improvement, but let us resolve
to educate the rising generation, so that
they may be prepared for a noble des
tiny. and be able to march forward with
rapid strides to jtrr/t< tiou.
Let us boar this in mind, that those
countries of Europe are most prosper
ous in every branch of industry where
education is most general, and if we
will only look at the cold New Englaud
States, not half so blessed either in cli
mate or soil araipur own, we can see that
education is the chiel corner stone on
which every structure of science and
industry is reared; and let us not be
foolish enough to reject this stout', for it
will have to be as inevitably used as the
one which the builders rejected.
A Friend to Progress.
[(’oiunmnieatcd.
Mr Editor: I have been thinking
for some time of the best plan of* secur
ing a good and safe man to represent
our county in the next Legislature.—
Custom has established a rule by which
to secure this end. Whether the rule
is a good one I shall not now argue.—
It is a rule, and all who do not abide it
are regarded as bolters, dissenters, Ac.
Harmony of action is always necessary
to success in all parties, no matter how
great their majority. If all the civil
districts should send up to our County
Convention representatives, cither in
structed or unii.structcd, to east their
votes for the best man— -I mean a man
that can do ui 3 idle most good—and wire
workers •would all stay at home, then
vre u ight expect to have in the field an
able man —something of :i politician.—
‘ nfortunately, however, some of cur
citizens go against what they call politi
cians. and especially lawyers. Now this
is simply prejudice. Who is it that pre
sides over our civil courts? Who is it
that pleads our causes at the bar, and
who deals out law and justice? It is
the lawyer. I nlcss a man is a lawyer
he is unfit fgr the business id* making
laws. Ido not mean that he must prac
tice at the bar. but he must practice
somewhere. He must study law. and
the nature of civil society, and be able
to defend the interests of his constitu
ents. In the next Legislature Guidon
County will have great interests. Bhe
needs a railroad—must have it. In the
sclccth n iif a proper candidate to repre
sent Gordon county, the popple should
remembci him who has so long and abiy
defended and plead for her internal im
provements, and if you will allow me
the privilege, I will suggest tho name,
which is \\ .H. Hankin. Fellow-citi
zens, 1 am prejudiced against none of
the honorable gentlemen who propose
to run, but facts force this conclusion.
Ihink for one moment, and you will see
that I iun correct. Fair Play.

“Our Society its it Is.”
*• TJit mountain lias travailed and brought
forth a mouse.”
1 regret that the perfect abandonment
and utter disregard of the text which
has endrutty so lung haunted the day
and night dnams of the embryo author
of “ Our Society as It is,” makes it nec
essary for me to write again. Even now,
I reply in the kindest spirit, hoping
that it may be .worth something to her
distempered intellect in its future ram
blings.
” One who Knows” says, she has i; no
apologies to make to • Our i'.ieud’ or
any other person.” I have never asked
for au apology; I neither defend or de
ny for myself and 1 presume no other
individual desires one. but “ our society,”
which has liccu so unjustly ags« ; LJ,
does demand one, ami for this i v. iac
" Kjjn t yovd to our society .” Can
one nr.Kr the guise of friendship visit
your house, ingratiate himself or fier
sdf into your confidence, treasure up
every unguarded expression, ponder
over it. exaggerate and contort it into
slander, anu th_n publish it to the
world as an evidence of a desire to ef
fect, good ? As well might one truth
fully say. he who commits homicide in
one instance is a greater murderer than
the moral monster that indiscriminately
assassinates whole families of innocent
men, woir.cn aiK*l children, or say that
one who reports a private conversation
to a friend, is a worse gossip, and does
more evil than me who proclaims to
• the multitude from the housetop” the
conversations and faults ot a neighbors
or resorts to a public journal for the !
same, thereby giving tenfold power to
the evil already existing.
One who Knows” ought to have ■
the sagacity to understand what the ed- !
itor meant in his comment on my com
munication, when lie says, i* is defensive.
She says, •• What has she to defend?”
lost assuredly, our society, which has
been so grossly attacked, and which ev- j
ery good citizen ought to sustain and I
dr fend.
It would be better for he? cause if she |
would only practice what she preaches,
and not in the self-same breath or sen- j
tence assassinate the very principal or ;
doctrine she feigns to promulgate or
sustain. She says she ‘' had no doubt
the gossips would say, it was meant for
me.” Did 1 anywhere take it h -nu”
and intimate it was f:»r mi' ? The pub
lic has the communication and can
judge*.
Again .-he says, “if imucent <-f the
imaginary charges I made, why did It
trouble her?'* What misconception!
Whither can the mind wander? I
thought she would know I responded
as “ A Friend to our Society.” She
ought not to dodge or seol; to evade the
issue site brought.
She says . "1 know that the whole
of my communication was miserable g ;s
sip ; but deny that it emanated from
me.” Is she not flagrantly guilty in
publishing to the w rid what she hot
self pronounces “miserable gossip.’* al
ter saying, ges'ip ought not to be re
peated ; yet I ask, did she not repo.:t it.
and in that repetition, did she simply
; give it to a friend, where it would do,
i perhaps, but little harm ? < r did she
proclaim it to the world ? casting a blem
ish upon the good name of our soci
| cl y-.
W ebster gives as one of ins defini
tions ci the word gossip. "One who
rtins from house to house, tattling and
telling news.” To any reasonable mind
publishing it to tile world is fur wnise.
“ One who Knows ” says, -a guilty
conscience needs no accuser” —thou so
much less the reason f>r her war upon
“our society.” Should we not let con
science be the teacher and guide of each
one’s conduct ? and not set ourselves
up as par excellence, or as a great light
house of social reform, unle s we can
show a continual lustre, and a light that
illuminates ever, leaving no darkness
when storms of adversity assail our so
cial burn tie.
i
She te.is us that no one of the gossips
have a willing ear lent them by her.-
The public, in reading her first eour.nu
ideation would most certainly think that
the “ willing” car was most freely given
if not lent.
‘•.Mistaken,” she 833 s, ‘‘knowingly,
if she imagines tis a case of sourgrapes.”
I only judged from her first couimuni—
j cation, which speaks for itself, and tells
| a most wondrous stoi v. \\ hat could
have moved her to that but a ease of
‘‘s. ur grapes.”
It she is wholly guiltless, why an ex
hibition of so*much anxiety in her de
ftmsj ?
File asks ‘‘ did our friend read my
motto?” Oh! y*s. I read that, am
slightly versed in Latin—in fact, lead
all printed under her auspices, and
would advise her to abide by her idio
matic motto, and she will move with
fewer blunders \\ lien she left her
good (juoted morals and motto, she seem
ed to be at sea, without sudd r or com
pass.
I too agree with “ Mystery,” but have
j grave and serious doubts, fn.ui the pres
cut demonst;aliens of her auth rsliip,
; whether she will ever have inscribed on
I her banner, •• Excelsior.” Bhe says
j neither her brain or ci n-cicnee accused
uer. Teihaps the tabled waters for
which she so plaintively sighs, have al
ready responded to her wailings, and
covered al] in forgetfulness. If so.
j mine shall not be the task to remind
! her of past events, arid her first eominu
{ imation, In t will leave them to their
proper destiuatu n, letting them float
on as a. uiy. t c and legendary story that
is not to be recalled-
Apologising, Mr. Editor, for this trcs-
