Maj. Coopera Report.
We did not reserve room in our last issue
to express our opinion of this paper. It is
of no consequence to spc..k of its more lite
rary merit. This feature in similar pro
ductions, is of such inferior consideration
that busines.-, men do not stop to see how
things are said, so the substantial part of
the matter is attended to. But to our mind
we thought this production, as far as style
goes a model for papers of its class, ana
after a critical, and we know an impartial
reviow of the facts and reasonings of the
report, we are constrained to say that all
things considered wo think the Superinten
dent did not only what he thought was for
the best, but that ho Jidthe best. For our part
we think that two years of ordinary admin
istration oftheaffairsoftheState Road would
not reflect half the credit upon the mana
gerial talent of those entrusted with its in
terests as did the triumph over the most
formidable obstructions to the business of
the Road occasioned by the burning of the
Etowah Bridge. We should all try and di
vest ourselves of a censorious spirit, and of
all tilings we should distrust that captiuiis
temper that will never accord to a man in
oflice either lenity* or justice. In the pres
ent instance what was to be done must not
only be done wisely, but on the spot, and
the smallest blunder was to draw after it
inevitably the most serious consequences.—
There was no sort of margin left for blun
ders. We do agree most fully with Maj.
Cooper that indemnifying bonds, though
taken for millions, could never have repair
ed tho consequences to the State of au un
fortunate contract or a miscarriage in its
performance.
We have given this subject much careful
thought, and have been advised, we think,
correctly, from the date of the accident to
the Bridge, of the measures that were adopt
ed to remedy the mischief, and wo avow it
to be our conviction, that in every one of
these measures, tho Super it ‘sndant acted
with an oyc single to the good of the State.
A C««i>ltnt Lfndrr.
We congratulate the readers of rhe last
number of the Constitutionalist <1- Republic
upon tiie pleasure they must havo enjoyed
in reading the article of Mr. Gardner, enti
tled “The Paramount Question of the day,”
It is with unfeigned pleasure that wo record
the fact, that in our community this fine
production of Mr. Gardner’s pen has excit
ed general remark and approval. It is an
auspicious sign to see our people reading a
paper embodying such thorough State
Bights and Georgia Rights doctrines with
so much avidity, and it is cheering that
tlieso sentiments are sustained by the com
mon voice of tho people. Let no blunders
be committed in tho use that the true sons
of Georgia make of the present golden op
portunity, and the vindication of tho rights
of tho State and the authority of the law
will bo triumphant.
Prrknunl.
We had the pleasure yesterday of enjoy
ing for several hours the genial and intel
lectual conversation of the editor of the
Montgomery Vail, Mr. .Johnson Hooper,
who remained over a day in Atlanta. We
regret that it was not in his power to remain
longer with us, that an opportunity might
have boon afforded our citizens of extend
ing a more general welcome to a gentleman
so advantageously known in our community
as Mr. Hooper.
Bnkadstufps from California.—A cargo
of wheat and flour is about to be shipped
from Sun Frausiscu to New York. The
clipper ship Charmer is up at San Fran
cisco, for New York ; 0,000 tons of wheat
and flour have been engaged at $16 per
ton, at which rate she will probably fill up.
A San Francisco letter says:
Some of the holders of Chili flour offered
to sell the balance of their stock at $4 per
barrel, to any party who would engage to
ship it out of the country. The whole stock
of Chili flour is now about 70,000 barrels
(in sacks;) of all other kinds 130,000, or
its equivalent in wheat. Total of present
available stock, 200,000 barrels of wheat
and flour.
The Batteries of the Allies at Sebas-
tofol.—A correspondent of the Philadel
phia North American says that, in the bom
bardment of thirteen days, at Sebastopol,
the guns of the allies have already perform
ed as good service as it i B considered safe
by competent authorities to look for in iron
ordinanrp v T n the United States service one
tliousittju .ounds is as many as it is thought
desirable to fire from these guns, although
there are instances of twice that amount of
service has been required of them. In these
thirteen day's, with one hundred and twenty
rounds per day, we find that each gun has
Jjeen discharged fifteen hundred and sixty
times, aud the effect upon the defences of
the enemy haB not been deemed sufficiently
great to warrant au assault. The corres-
pondcut further adds that, from experiments
made by officers of the United States Ord-
nance Department, and more particularly
those of tno late Capt. Walbach, our service
has required a much move thorough knowl-
edge of the means of testing the strength of
cannon than any other in the world.

“ As between the Know Nothings and
that compound of Freesoilism, Secession-
ism and Red republicanism, “ held together

What does the Chronicle ft- Sentinel mean

it intend, by the “ Pierce, Forney, Van Bu

Red Republicanism ? We wish that the
Chronicled; Sentinel would be more specific
in its charges, and bring forward some proof
to support them. Until it does so, every
iutelligeut man must, in view of the facts
of the history of the present administration,
consider the above quoted language to be
nothing more than the unreflectcd ravings
of a political antagonist, and dismiss them
as such. In justice, therefore, to itself, as South, ignored, while every shift of political i used to trade on the seas, can seldom do any-

of this, tho Chronicle <f- Sentinel at least,
cannot complain—the purposes of an
armed and determined body of men have
been defeated, by the the unfaltering oppo
sitions of the executive. Bills for public
plunder have again and again been met by
the President’s veto; the Government has
been administered economically, and the
Constitution pursued strictly. In the per
formance of the duties demanded of the ad
ministration by the south, no President has
suffered half the trials, or met one-tenth
part of the opposition, that Mr. Pierce has.
He has done his duty, and faithfully and
energetically performed his pledges, amid j known and borne In minil

Democratic Meeting in Muscogee.
We bespeak for the resolutions of tills
meeting, the serious consideration of every
Democrat who reads our paper. They are
worthy of their draughtsman, Judge Iverson,
aud tho unselfish and high-toned policy
which they commend, is worthy of the cha
racter of the party. It was with deep regret
that we learn that certan gentlemen, onee
favorably known as Democrats in Columbus,
after withdrawing from the ranks of their
old friends, should have claimed a participa
tion in tbe councils of a party to which they
had willingly made themselves aliens and
enemies. If there is nothing in the Demo
cratic sentiment—nothing in its cardinal
principles that will force us to rogard Know
Nothingism not only as incongruous, but
dence
action, than the present.

the charge of Freesoilism against the man,
who signed and encouraged the Kansas-No-
braska bill, is a piece of impudence flagrant
enough to cause even a political newspaper
to pause before perpetrating. What author
ity has the Chronicle &• Sentinel for charg
ing on Mr. Pierce, Red Republicanism ?—
or rather, in the first place, what is Red
Republicanism ? The conservative press in
this country and Europe chargo Kossuth,
j Mazzini, Mitchell & Co. with being Red
Republicans. Does the Chronicle mean to
say that the President has affiliated with
these men ?—if so, why did tho mission of
the former in this country so signally fail ?
and why has that worthy since employed so
much of bis time in abusing his ally ? and
again, why was Sanders, tho confessed
friend of the revolutionary movement in
Europe removed from the Consulate at Lon

The Tribune and Times controversy.—
The war of words between tho editors of
'the Now York Tribune and the Times has
: callod forth the following “first rate notice”
from the Boston Post:
“Tbe battle between tho Tribune and the
limes in Now York has been getting ‘wery
savage.’ Ever since the Times (Raymond)
became lioutenant governor, and the Tribune
(Greedy) was left tenant of his musty sanc
tum in Nassau strec-i instead of getting eveu
a nomination for the gubernatorial chair,
j the Tribune has hated the Times, and inmst-
i ed, in many ways, that the Tunes is a ‘little
' villain.’ The Times replies with great force
■ and acrimony of utterance. Doubtless
i ‘A man may smile, and smile, aud be a villain;’
1 But the ‘little villain’ does not smile at all.

From this it appears that thc United Suites
stands second in tiie list, being very slightly
behind England. It has more ships than
all the rest of Europe together. If Gieat
Britain, France and Spain were united
against this country the three combined
would only possess one-fifth more tonnage
than the United State - -' has afloat. Aud as
we find that the tonnage lias nearly quad
rupled since 1812, it is sate to assume that ,
four or five years hence, the Amo icau uier- i
chant navy will bo equal to ilicirs, and will ,
only fall short by a small figure of equaling ’
the entire tonnage of Europe.
This is a startling fact, if viewed in eon- i
ueetiou with the possibility of a war.— (
During the last war nearly all our ports j !:

Five years ago it would havo required the
merest trifle of an effort to have carried a
bill through our Legislature making repri
sals aud retaliation upon Massachusetts.—
This will be done now, infallibly.
Whatever scruples we might have had

against the passage of retaliatory laws, we
can have none whatever, now she i< out

The head engineer at Sebastopol is a young-
man named Todleben, who at the commence

answered “Two months.” Todleben step-
