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. [For tho Atlanta Daily Intelligencer.] “ As between the Know Nothings and that compound of Freesoilism, Secession- ism and Red republicanism, “ held together i by the cohesive properties of the nublic | plunder,” known as the Pierce, Forney, ‘ Van Buren and Soule Democracy, we are with the Southern Know Nothings who will adopt a broad, national conservative plat form, such as the Georgia, heart and soul.”— Chronicle Sentinel. What does the Chronicle ft- Sentinel mean in the extract we have quoted above ? Does it intend, by the “ Pierce, Forney, Van Bu ren and Soule Democracy,” the present ad ministration ; and docs it charge on the ad ministration Freesoilism, Secessionist! and 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.

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 the foulest abuse on the one hand, and basest ! our naval power, ingratitude on the other.

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.

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 M. 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.

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.
