perlty. Well may the Recorder ask,
who would leave Georgia to go
any where else?' 1t is a rare circum
stance now to meet Georgion mo-
wing to new country. Emigrants
may be met from ali the other States
east of us, but it is rare circum-
stance to meet a family from Geor-
gia. Her citizens are contented at
home. BY diversifying herlabor, de-
veloping her varied resources, and
drawing on her immense mechanical
power and mineral wealth, Georgia
has opened up to her peopled fu-
ture of such promise as to fasten
them wit hooks of steel to the soil
upon which they were born. She
has adopted a policy which every
State South of Mason and Dixon's
line should have acted upon years
ago. But tits not yet too late, and
we trust to see a like policy engraf-
tedupon the legislation of Alabama.
a very fair beginning was made du-
ring the sessionof the last Legisla-
ture, but that body stopped short of
what should have been done.
The State should have assisted.
with her credit and her money, the
two important lines of railroad, the
Mobile and Ohio, and Alabama and
tennessee, in q manner so effectual
that the final completion would have
been insured within the coming three
years. Georgia adopted a similar
policy, and we have before our eyes
the result. Thousands of citizens
are annually leaving Alabama, who,
had these lines of railroads been com
pleted, and her vast mechanical now
er and mineral wealth tully develop
ed, would never have dreamed of
leaving her soil.
To secure rapid increase ofpop-
ulation, of wealth, of comforts, of
general prosperity and general intel
ligence, our labor and capital must
be diversified. If our citizens are to
remain at home contented and happy,
we must add to the culture of cot
ton, railroads, cotton factories, iron
forges and foundries, coal mines, Sc.
thereby giving all profitable employ
entand adequate compensation for
their labor. The Georgia papers are
fully justified in shouting gLHurrah
for'GeorgiaI Hear the Milledgeville
Recorder: aom .E
"F'rom table of the railroads of
the United States, we notice that the
total miles of railroad is 1877, and
that Georgia is the third State in, ex-
tent OF this Improvement. New York
is the first, having 1906 miles ofrail-
= road; Massachusetts second, having
I,O49 miles; and Georgia third, hay,
ing 655, Pennsylvania comes next,
having 5l37Tand so on. Hurrah for
Georgia! She has more colleges and
more students attending them. than
any other Southern State, more man
ufactures ofvalious kinds, more rail-
road, and soon will have more plank
road than any other. She us the lar
gest cotton grower, and has general
Ignore varied resources, mineral
wealth, natural mechanical power,
variety ofproduct, and all else ia pro-
mote the prosperity of her people and
her own greatness, than any other
country in the world. Who would
leave Georgia for any where elsel--
Who will berash enough to mar her
onward progress2 her onward great
