GEl Saturday Next.

The Freeholders of Augusta will be called npon
to discharge an important duty and we hope
when the poll is closed to have the pleasure of
recording handsome majority in favor Of the
proposed method of raising means to continue the
Railroad to Stanton. 1t cannot be possible that
our people can be so Indifferent to their interest
as to throw away the richest boon ever offered
to their acceptance-a market for tieir pvoduce
at their uery doors and such a reduction in the
cost OF transportation, Us will greatly add to the
price OF the article sold-for it must be apparent
to all, that whatever saving is made in the cost
Of transportation, is SO much added to the price
OF the article, to say nothing Of the facility thus
afforded to our Farmers to take advantage Of any
rise in the markets, and this, too, when wagon
ing would be impossible, as was the case the
greater part of last Fall and Winter How much
did our Farmers lcee last year for the want of a
conveyance to market Those who yet have
their Flour on hand can best answer this ques-
ton. But we will not insult the good sense OF
our people by obtruding our views upon them
the question is as plain as the road to market,
and every one knows that the shortest way is
the cheapest, and the cheapest is the best-no
man can deny this. Then let all come UP with
oae heart and one mind on Saturday next, and
lend thair aid to the greatest improvement Of the
age
