The State Road Again.
In our remarks in Tuesday morning’s pa
per on the recent report of the Superinten
dent of the Stato Road, we stated that the
unusually large profit from the business of
tho past year, as was made to appear from
t ho report, was illusory in its character, re
sulting. in a groat degree, from the neglect
of necessary expenditures ou tho part of
tho pre-ent Superintendent, and expressed
the opinion that the surplus §50,000 which
was paid into the state treasury, (as we
think, for political effect) should properly
have boon expended for necessary repairs
and re-construction, or in liquidation of the
debts of the Road, on which, of course, in-
taroU is continually accruing. We find
that our positions are fully borne out by the
reports and estimates of former superinten
dents.
In Mr. Yonge’s roport, of October 1853,
admitted to be tho ablest and lnostelabora'e
report which has yet emanated from the
State Road office, so full}’ was ho impress-cd
with the necessity of furthor heavy outlays
for repairs, equipment, re-construction and
the liquidation of the debts of the Road,
that in his accurate and skillful prospective
estimate of tho earnings and expendituie-
of the Itond ho did not contemplate, with a
doe legard for tho interests of the Road,
ihe payment of anything into tho treasury
until the year 185G. And his calculation
of the prospective increase of business was
fully up to the reality for tho past year.
For the year just closed Mr. Yonge esti
mated the nett profits, togothor with avail
able assets on hand at the commencement of
the year, and cn«h available by sale of old
flat bar rail, at $408,433 and he pointed out
in detail noccisary uu'lavs to consume the
whole of this amount.
Among these necessary expenditures par
ticularly specified by Mr, Yonge, is the sum
of $95,108 32 duo to tho the Georgia Rail
lload. This amount lias not been paid f
Mr. Cooper’s policy being to let this deb.
stand against the Road, continually drawing
interest, while with a grand flourish oi
trumpets he pays his surplus §50.000 into
tho stato treasury.
But there is a still moro important item,
considered absolutely indlspeusible by for
mer superintendents, which the present su
perintendent has neglected—an item requir
ing rn expenditure, nceordingto Mr. Yonge’e
report, of §110.000. Wo refer to the relay
ing, with good, substantial iron, of the sec
tion of the Road between Resaea and Dalton
on which the old, light flange rail is still
continued.
As far back as October 1852 Mr. Wadley,
in his roport of that date, alluded to the ne
cessity of having tho old flat rail on this sec
tion of the Road taken up and a good article
laid down in its place. lie hoped to have
had it doue during his own administration.
In Mr. Wadley’s estimatoofnecessary expen
ditures during the ensuingyear, ending30th
September 1853, he includes this item, and
rel'ering to tho leavy expenditures required
and recommended by him, says:
•• Startling as there figures appear, there
is no work or equipment contemplated that
is not actually necessary to complete tho
Road, so as to enable it to perform its ra
pidly increasing business.”
Further on in the same report, Mr. Wad-
ley says, icforing to the same items:
“ The necessity that exists for the prompt
execution of all tho work I have enumerated j
is such, that 1 should feel I haduotdischarg-!
ed my full duly were! to fail to urge its j
prosecution with all possible dispatch.” j
Coming down to tho date of Mr. Tonge's J
if it could Tie said that heavy expenditure* i
might here properly cease, and .the nett
earnings of tbe Road tie returned to the
Treasury; but the uitcrests -of the Rood will
require further appropriation of its profits in
: is re-consf ruction.”
It will thus be seen that Mr. Cooper’s
dan of neglecting the necessary expend!*
ures, demanded by the true interests of the
R-md, is a plan directly at variance with tbe
views and recommendations of bis two able
predecessors, Mr. Wadley and Mr. Yqnge,
ilthough it has enabled him to make a show
of large profits and to pay the little surplus
of $50,000 into the State treasury.
But what has been the result, in other
respects, of this neglect of the necessary
works of repair and re-construction 7 A
very natural result indeed. The condition
of the Road is daily growing worse and hea
vily increased outlays will soon be impera
tively demanded to keep the Road in opera
tion. What say the papers in the upper
part of the state along the line of the Road?
The North Georgia Times, published at Dal
ton, does not give a very cheering account of
the condition of things along tho neglected
section. The Times, says:
“The rail road track from Resaea to
Chattanooga, a distance of 54 miles, is not in
condition to do tho heavy winter's business,
being laid with tho light flange bar iron
considerably worn ; and the superstructures
and bridges' decayed and rotten—important
j improvements abandoned, and contractors in-
' iured, together with a failure of six months
to pay for stock killed and other just de-
mads against tho road.”
The Chattanooga (Tenn.) Advertiser says
that “emerpriees that were commenced un
der former superintendents have, under Mr.
Cooper, been wholly stopped, and are now
left to decay.”
Such, then, are 6ome of the natural re
sults of Mr. Cooper’s system of manage
ment of this great State work, and thus it
is that ho has been able to report an appar
ently large profit from the business of the
Road during hie term of office and to turn
550,000 into tho State treasury.
Wo understand that Gov. Johnson was
here yesterday and had an employee in one
uf the unimportant offices discharged on ac
count of his political opinions; but If Gov.
Johnson would answer the just expectations
of the people of Georgia, in his connection
with the State Road, he must look higher
than the office of a book keeper. If he ex
pects the Slaic Road ultimately not to be a
mill-stone about his own neck, he must com
mence tho work of expurgation with the Su
perintendent himrelf. The people care very
little about book keepers or assistant book
keepers. What they want is a Superintendent
who shall administer the affairs of the Road
wisely, economically, justly—with a con
stant jegaid for the true interests of the
Stn’c —who can place the prosperity of the
Road and the welfare of tho State high
aliove nis schemes of telf pi elerment.

Incoming Cotton Crop.
We extract the following from Talcott
and Brother’s Circular, forwarded to Liver
pool on the 28th by the Baltic:
With dates from New Orleans of 24th
injtant, by telegraph, we have as yet no ac
counts of killing frost. Our correspondents
at New Orleans write under date of 17th
inst. as follows:
“Cotton crop accounts are bettor this
week; the fine weather improves the pros
pects and checks tbe complaints. Wo have
beautiful weather, with no indications yet
of early frost. The popular estimate of the
crop here is 3,000,000 bales, which will
not be large enough unless we have an early
frost. Our present impression about the
crop is that if frost keeps off eight or ten
larger in Kentuekv than was some time i , w ’ e p hall adopt your figures of
since supposed, and adds:
Packers, under prerent circumstances,
with a tight money market, and large
stocks and great depression in prices of last
year’s product, are loth to enter the market
at the rates now demanded. Some arc of
fering §4 nett, but this is, we think, a lit
tle too low. We are confident, however,
that no sales could at present be affected at
over §4.50 nett.
The Alton Telegraph says:
Wo hear it rumored that fivo thousand
hogs have been contracted for at Spring-
field, 111., at §3.50. The represented seller
is a packor of that place.
The St. Louis Intelligencer says:
Here packers talk of §4, and so far as we
have heard an expression of opinion, none
calcularo that less than this will bo' paid at
any time during tho season. A drover was
in ihe city yesteroav, offering to contract
1,000 or 1,500 head at §5, but found no
buyer.
At Cincinnati §4 nett is offered.
3.100.000 bales; and if it keeps off two or
three weeks longer, we don’t know how
mnch higher we shall set our mark.”
Our estimate of 3,100,000, which we be
lieve will be realized, was based as wo ad
vised, “on a fair average season, with kill
ing froBts the last week in October.” if
frost holds off until the 12th or 15th Novem
ber, we shall feel ourselves justified in rais
ing your figures; but at all events are satis
fied that the short crop estimates recently
indulged in at the South, ranging from 2,-
700.000 to 2,930,000 bales must soon be
abandoned.

Starkvillf. Gs. Nov.‘2nd 1854.
Friend Rugplesi The weather for some
time past has been very dry and dusty, in
.consequence of which we have yet had no
fipst. The cotton crop is turning out much
better than was anticipated as a great deal
of the .late erop, which would have been, cut
off and almost entirely distroyed by an early
frost has now matured. As far as I can
learn, a foir average cotton crop wilt be
made throughout South western Qeorgia.
In some sections the corn crop is abundant
while in others it was injured by drought.
South western Georgia, the miasmas of
whose frog-ponds yon fancy you can snuffin
your mountain homo, has been remarkably
healthy this year. And during tbe past
summer when our cities and almost every
other portion of the State was groaning with
disease and death, with u’s sickness was al
most unknown. For these "blessings we
should be gratified to the wise Ruler of the

comotive was completely thrown over to
the right, the express car thrown over and
crushing the first and second class car into
mere splinters, demolishing the next, and
making a wreck of the third car, and
driving in the end of the fourth; the
passengers in the last car escaped un
hurt or with slight bruises; almost the
entire load of the second class cars were
killed or wounded, some completely cut
in two, others with mangled heads and
bodies, and without limbs.
The kcreams and groans of the mangled
was awful in the extreme. Every effort was
made by the conductor and passengers to
relieve the suffering, but notwithstanding
all superhuman effor s to relieve them, all
were not extricated until more than four
hoars after the collision. Among those
whose exertions in saving the victims, are
Thomas F. Meagher, and Junk, the baggage
man, Mr. O. A. Brownson, and others of
the passengers, neaps of the dead and
mangled were found in the rains piled to
gether in all mangled shapes.
One poor fellow wa* cut out of the ex
press car. his limbs hanging out of the side,
fifteen feet from tbe ground. One of the
strangest features of the accident is, all the
gravel cars we demolish and piled upon
each other, with tender of the engine stove
in. The conductor of tbe gravel train was
on the rear car, with his signal and a ne
gro bov at his side. The conductor saved
himself by jumping; the negro bov was
killed.
At the time of the colliekra there was a
dense fog. it being almost impossible to see
lights. TVhere the blame belongs in this,
awful catastrophe, we know not; but there
is gross and culpable negligence in tbe ope
ration of the affairs of the road. The con
ductor of the gravel trains says he was or
dered out by the superintendent of thegrav-
el pit.
We ought to mention that on the third
car from the rear we had no light at the
time of the collision and was in total dark
ness. nor had we anything but pieces of
candles stuck in tubes at any time. Those
had gone out at the time of the collision.—
The dead are lying around, and being most

and many of the wounded must die, of

From the report of the Pacific Steam Ship

has taken place in the business of tho com
pany. The receipts in 1852 were $1,622,-

1854 the affairs of the company were not
more flourishing, bnt since the amicable ar

Taken Aback.—A young clerical gen
tleman relates the following anecdote of
one of his old Dutch brethren:
The old fellow was About commencing
bis spiritual exercises one.evening, when
to his being near sighted was added, the
dim light of a country church. After
. cleaning -his throat and adjusting his spec
tacles, be commenced giving out the hymn,
prefacing it with the apology—
“The light Lh- bad, wine eyes ifh dim,
• I srhareh can ree to road, dish hymns.” _
Tbe clerk, supposing it was tho first
stanza of the hymn, struck iip to the tune
of a common metre. The old fellow, taken
aback bv this turn of affairs, corrected the
mistake fey saying
•‘I didn’t mean t<j sing dish hymn,
I only meant mino eyes ifh dim.”
The clerk still thinking it a combination
of the couplet, finished in tho preceding
strain.
The old man at this waxed wroth, and
exclaimed at the top of his vo(co:
“I dinks the aebil’ab in you all

Yellow Fever at Union-Point.—Tho

alarmed in consequence.
The New York Courier and Enqui
rer, in speaking of the three tickets now in
the field in New York, says that unless an
unusual departure from probabilities takes
place, Judge Bronson will receive 90,000
votes, Governor Seymour 80,000, and Mr.
Clarke 160,000. The great conceutration of
the struggle will be on these; they will draw
with them the remainder of the ticket. Tho
vote will he a large one because the Con
gressional canvass will be a very exciting
one, and will lead to the attendance at tho
polls of many who in careless times arc
absent.
The California election returns indicate

Whatever may be thought of Dr. G. as

Tunnel Under the Ohio River.—The
Louisville Journal has an article upon tho
prospects and feasibility of the construction
of- a tunnel under the Ohio river at Louis
ville Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana.
A charter for this work was granted by the
Kentucky Legislature, March 6, 1854;
and the" right of way given by the city of
Louisville, and the work forever exempied
from taxation for the city purposes, on the
27th day of May, 1854. The Fort Wayne
and Southern Railroad Company have ac
cepted the charter and the release of the
right of way; and propose making up the
stock, and if possible, to put the work un
der contract this fall or early in the spring.
The tunnel will be exclusively for railway
purposes, with a double track, adapted to
the use of all the roads of the different
guages. It will be 28 feet wide in the
clear, and 17 feet high, perpendicularly,
from the centre of each track. The arch
ing will be sixty feet less than two miles
in length. The descending grades into tho
tunnel, at either end, will lie only eighty
feet per mile on a straight line. From the
head of the grade on one side to the head
of the grade on the opposite e|de of the
river will ho two miles and a halt The
tunnel will be constructed in the river by
exeayating a channel or pit in the rook ana
arching over with the material excavated—
milestone rock of the best quality. The
work lias beon surveyed, and the cost esti
mated ai, §1,200,000. It is proposed to raise
this sum by a cash subscription, no part of
which is mado payable until tho whole sum
is subscribed. * whenever all the stock is
taken then it becomes payable in four
equal semi-annual instalments.
Immigration at Quebec.—There arrived
at Quebec, up to the 14th ult., 51,000 emi
grant passengers, which is an increase of
16,400 over last year.
The Ouirageat Worcester. Mass.—The
telegreph has already anounced that a riot
has occurred at Worcester, Mass., the heart
of the State, and the very core of abolition
ism. It seems that Mr. Asa O. Butman, an
officer attached to the department of the
United States Marshal at Boston, rendered
good service in energetically carrying out
the directions of his superior on the occa
sion of the arrest of Sims and Burns, fugi
tives from service. Mr. Butman was also
one of the officers deputed to deliver Burns
to the custody of his owner, and his con
duct elicied the approbation of the citizens
of Richmond, to which city the slave was
taken.
A dispatch to thc New York Associated
Press dated Worcester, Oct. 30, says:
“Asa O. Butman, the person who arrested
Thos. Sims and Anthony Burns, was dis
covered booked at tho American House in
this city yesterday, and was immediately
posted throughout the city. In the evening
a vigilanee committee of citizens suroundea
thc hotel and watched Butman’s move
ments. He presented a pistol at them and
threatened to use it: whereupon a warrant
was issued and he was immediately arrested,
and this forenoon brought before "the police
court, charged with carrying coneeald
weapons. Tho case wa3 postponed two
weeks, and ho was required to give bonds
for his appearance.
“A large and excited crowd gathered
around tho court room, and it becoming
evident that Butman’s life was in danger,
Mr. George F. Hoar, free-soiler, and son of
the venerable Samuel Hoar, appealed to tho
crowd to let Mr. Butman go in safety out
of the city. The crowd gave vray, and But
man, accompanied by strong guard, went
to the depot, followed by the populace,
where the colored fell upon him ana would
undoubtedly have taken his life but for
the interference of Martin Stowell, James A.
Howland, 3Ir. Hoar, Rev. T.T. V. Higginson
and Stephen S. Foster, all abolitionists.
“Butman was placed in a carriage, accom
panied by Mr. Higginson, and thus escaped
with his life. Mr. Higginson was consid
erably cut by the missiles thrown at the
carriage, and Butman was pelted with rot
ten eggs and stones, and kicked and beaten
almost to death.”
Putnam on Slavery.—Mr. G. P. Putnam
is industriously writing down his Magazine
in the South. In the last number he char
acterizes slavery in these words: “ From
its very nature it is a despotism of force, of
law, and of opinion combined—partially
mitigated in practice by humane personal
considerations, but in tneory absolute. It
is administered for the most part by the
whip ; it is sanctioned by legislation : and
it admits of no scrutiny or discussion. All
that can be said of it, m the regions where
it prevails, even by those most deeply inter
ested in its results, must ho said in its fa
vor on pain of peremptory banishment or
assassination.” If all Northern periodi
cals would speak in this spirit, there would
be some hope of Southern literature. Wo
are glad to learn from the booksellers here
that Putnam is rapidly vanishing from the
market. The void should be supplied by
tho Southern Quarterly Review, tne ablest
periodical in tho country.—Richmond En
quirer.
A special despatch to tho N. Y. Tribune.
dated New Qrloaus tho £9th ult, says:
“ I learn from head-quarters that the Cu
ba expedition, which was to have left the
States under command of Gen. Quitman,
has failed, and them is no probability or fu
ture hope of succoss. I have been promised
by ono of tho “head men,” a full history of
tne present organization, the names of the
committoc here, iheamounts subscribed and
tho names of the subscribers, as also the
names of parties in our city who have been
connected with the movement. All of the
facts which are of any public interest will
bo forwarded to you for publication. The
gentleman from whom I have obtained this
information informs mo that one of the
members of the grand jury who pretended
to investigate tho truth of the rumors of
a fillibuster expedition, was the Recording
Secretary of the Cuba Committee.”
