more than becomes the Democracy to rally to the

Influence of Railroads.
SUMPTER Co., March 25tb. |

SUMPTER Co., March 25th, 1851.
The influence of railroads has been noticed to
some extent by others, relates to cities and their
increase in business, population, &c With the
particular success of Boston or New York we are
not so directly interested, yet the success that
tend to produce it, are worthy Of note. Before
taking the census, intelligent persons knew that
Georgia was both rapidly carrying forward rail-
roads and increasing IN wealth and population, vet
but few were aware of the immense strides She
was making IN that way. 1t is true, that a little
previous to the last decennial enumeration she
had acquired large and fertile country for settle
ment, which has been rapidly filled up Her sys-
tenn OF railroads has in every way contributed to
these results by giving to dormant resources in
the Older parts of the State an activity and vital
ty that 1t could not otherwise have and rapidly de-
yelopng the resources of the new parts, and from
these causes have doubtless sprung her great pros
perity.
IL is not the prosperity alone or mainly, of some
overgrown city, but is the prosperity of an agrcul
tural country and the thrift of manufacturing viii
lagos.
these results are not the only ones that flow
from railroads. Some unexpected freaks of trade
ana business often arise from them, one of which
shall here briefly alude to.
1t IS known that the railroad running ont east
from Vlcksburg, was completed to Brandon a few
months since. Now, from the south western cor
ner OF hemper county to Brandon, is about eighty
miles from the same point to the Tombgbee IS
about fifty. The fall, as is known, was drv and
navigation was late opening. Groceries DC. be-
came scarce IN this region, and it was suggested
TO dealer living east of the center, east and west
OF hemper county, to go to Brandon, some ninety
miles distant and obtain groceries The sueees.
oa was adopted and at once he sent off two or three
wagons loaded with cotton. This cotton he sold
procured the goods he wanted, and returned in a
rev days. able to sell at fair profits. The news

To the fortunes of this Journal which has lust pass

are determined to devote to it our best efforts and en-
ergles This method selected to appeal to our friends
political and persona-for their active co-operation
IN behalf OF this paper and ourselves and particularly
at this Juncture. Owing to cause or other the
Monroe Democrat has ceased of late to occupy that
high position to which it formerly aspired and attain

to know and feel the fact, and to resolve if in the
power of energy and exertion-to elevate it to that
eminence to which it is entitled. To the high rank
it seeks to attain, it holds title whether we make it
good not, from number of considerations. In the
first and main place, it is the only democratic paper in
the largest town of North Mississippi Not a small
item in its favor, is that it is and will be devoted IN
comprOmsingy and jealousy to the defence of State
Rights and State Institutions. Impeed by that de-

He then impressed upon Eer forehead an I'M

But the scene did not end here. The voices OF
those who few moments before were loudest IN
vain prattle were now hushed in silence, and that
silence needed to be broken by some spirit that
could suggest different and more agreeable pas

DIRGE FOR AN INFANT.

He is dead and gone-a flower
Born and withered in an hour.
Boldly hes the death-irost now
On his little rounded brow;
And the seal of darkness lies
Ever on his shrouded eyes.
He will never feel again
Touch of human JOY or pain;
Never will his once bright eyes
Open with a glad surprise;
Nor the death-frost leave his brow
All is over with him now.
Vacant now his cradle-bed,
As nest from hence hath fed
Some dear little bird, whose wings
Rest from timid flutterings.
Thrown aside the childish rattle;
Huse'd for aye the infant prattle-
Little broken words that could
By none else be understood.
Save the childless one who weeps
Ger the grave where now he sleeps.
Closed his eyes, and cold his brow
All is over with him now.
