The Crossing Of the River at .Augus.;

blcd to state, that the negotiationSi So
long pending on this subject, have been
closed, and permission given by the
authorities of Augusta to the Charles
ton and Hamburg Rail Road, to bfiass:
the river and establish depots within
the corporate limits of the city. Tfia

1t proposed that the whole cost OF
this connection to the Charleston and
Hamburg Rail Road Company will be-
about S4O0,000-including the sum ]
paid to the city as above, (Which Is
party in lieu of tolls collected on the
old bridge,) the cost Of the bridge, of
the land which must all be purchased,
Of buildings, Sc, &c.
The Republican, infefs from ths
amount paid to the city,. as we'll aas
from the character Of the negotiations;
so far ms We understand them, that the
design Of the contract is Ito place the
Wanesboro' and the Charleston and
llamburgh Roads on precisely the &
same footing. Both their ,depots will
be, as nearly as possible, at the satpe
distance (some so yards) from ths
Georgia Rail Road Depot. The only
advantage enjoyed by the Wayne5Bo4
70 Road--that Of reaching their Depot
by stcam-hows from the fact that
their road approaches the city without
having to pass through. it. In both
cases bulk must be broken on through
freight, before. its transference, from the
Georgia to the other Roads, and is
may be inferred that if ever one of
the the tracks is permitted to run into
the Georgia Road, the same permis.
sion will be extended.to the other.

occupation, and the object Of its
dreams; the love it bears its mother,
being the leading trait of its heat.
Passions, distords and inward com
bats are strangers to it. Oh, would
that by the ennobling of ourselves,
by the development of our reason and
good sentiments, we might reach to
that happy state through which We
have passed without having been
conscious of it!
