Its pages are euriched with its usual variety of well written and valuable articles on agricultural subjects. Published by Wm. S. Jones, Au gusta, Ga„ at one dollar per annum. 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.

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.

Knoxville Amusements.—Tho Knoxville Register says: The bear fight to which we alluded a weak or two since, came off on Friday last—a large crowd was in attend ance and a terrible battle was fought. A couple of wolves were added to the list of combatants at the last encounter. Wo are unable to give the full particulars of the contest, as wo could not, from a press of bu siness, avail ourselves of a very polite invi tation to be present, and assist in awarding the laurel wreath to the most courageous dog that entered for the fight. Preparations for the Augusta Fair.— We have already stated that the Fair of the Southern Agricultural Society had been posponed until the 22d of November. The Southern Cultivator says: “The Committee of arrangements will en ter at once upon the business of preparing the ground^, buildings, tents and other fix ture-of tbe Society for the coming Fa>r, and if exhibitorswill make their entries and send their articles forward in good season, as directed, much of the confusion heretofore oomplained -f will lie obviated.” The Candidate of the Darkles. A convention has been held by negroes in New York, at which they determined to give their support to the Whig candidate for Governor.

Ills cathedral, said to have been built by Bishop Jeremy Taylor, has lately lieen restored atrebnsiderable expense. - 11 is proposed to orect a -monument to that distinguished prelaw and theologian, who U Burlki in this cathedral * 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 ly emigrants their names cannot readily be got, bat about fifty are killed outright, and many of the wounded must die, of which there are about forty alive. There was one woman buried under a mass of ruins, and lay there over four hours before she was extricated. She must (tie. .^.We were 32 miles from Detroit and 13 from Chatham; the surrounding eontry for miles a visit swamp and no aid or physi cians at hand, which, with-the denseness of the fog and frightful screams of-the wound ed for help and water, rendered the most appalling scene imaginable.

In order to afford the Department time to effect this settlement, and make a new contract if they desire it, we are willing to engage with them through you to transport the mails for ten days between Charleston and Augusta and Columbia as heretofore for the sum of §1350. “Very respectfully, your obedient servant, “John Caldwell, President.” “PosTorncE, Charleston, Nov. 3, 1854. “J.

Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, Alfred Huger, P. M.” From the report of the Pacific Steam Ship Company, we learn that a great improvement has taken place in the business of tho com pany. The receipts in 1852 were $1,622,- 000. These fell of in 1853 to $888,006. In 1854 the affairs of the company were not more flourishing, bnt since the amicable ar rangement and understanding between the competing companies, the estimated recepts are large, and it is bolieved that next year, dividends will be again declared. 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 Vot wash no hymn to sing at all Yellow Fever at Union-Point.—Tho Madison Visitor of Saturday says that Mr. and Mrs. Lampkin died of Yellow Fever, at Union-Point last week. Tho Visitor says that those eases appear to have originated at the Point, and the people there are much 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 that Dr. Gwin will be elected Senator. Whatever may be thought of Dr. G. as a politician or a man, all must concede that he has made a most officient Senator for the new State. 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.” BQjf* The American Party in the Legisla ture of Pennsylvania proves to be. stronger than was supposed. The Harrisburgl.Ifefe. graph says that there are over 60 members of the next Legislature known to hafong to the American order. ---
