Atlanta and the Airline R. R.

One Of the most interesting meetings
we remember ever to have witnessed.
came off Tuesday evening, at the City
Hall. 1t is known to our citizens gene
rally that, some time since, the City
Council of Atlanta, by their Mayor,
Judge Ezzard, subscribed $500, 900 to the
stock of the Georgia Airline Railroad.
Subsequently to the time of making this
subscription, six out of ten of the men,
bers of the same Council passed an ordi-
nance resembling this subscription. The
friends of the Airline Railroad made a
call upon the citizens of Atlanta to give
an expression of opinion upon this last
action of the City Council This call was
signed by over two hundred of our citi-
zens. In pursuance of this call, large
number of our felow-citizens assembled,
on Tuesday evening last, crowding the
City Hall to overhowing. DR.. john G..
Westmoreland was called to the Chair.
and G. w. Johnson, Esq, was requested
to act as Secretary. Hon. S. B. Hoyt of
fered q set of resolutions condemnatory
Of the action of Council in resembling the
of 100000 to the Air-1inc
Railroad.
Dr. Jas. P. Logan offered set of rcso-
lutions approving the action Of Council
in reference to the resembling of the sub
scription to the Airline Railroad G..
B. Haygood sustained the resolutions Of
fered by Judge Hoyt, in a forcible, argu-
mentative and energetic speech, denoun-
cling the action of Council as reputation
and disgraceful to our city. Hon. Luther
J. Glenn replied to him in manner
which nobody but Glenn can do. His
speech was received with the most enthu-
siastic applause. 1t was apparent from
this that the meeting was decidedly in
favor Of the action Of Council
After the argument was concluded, the
vote was taken upon DR.. Logan's substi-
tute, and carried by an overwhelming
some say two to one, others say
three to one. There can now be no mis-
take that the public sentiment in Atlanta
is in favor Of resembling the subscription
to the Airline Railroad. Right or
wrong, the question is settled, and there
is no use in agitating the subject any
more. If the Airline Railroad Compa-
ny have complied on their part with the
terms upon which our city fathers made
the subscription, they have now to rely
only on their legal rights.-Atlanto Intel
Liqencer, 9th.

"This idea of a returning sense on the
part Of the North is 5supremely ridiculous.
Their very nature, education and feelings
forbid such an idea They are taught
around the freside, at the Sabbath school,
and in the pulpit that slave owner is
one of the greatest monsters on earth.
With such education, and such feelings OF
hatred to the South as has been instllled
into them from their cradle up, how can
anv sane man of the South ever hope tor
a returning sense of justice on their part?
Can the leopard change his spots, OF the
Ethiopian his skin You might as well
attempt to change the opinions and afec-
tions of the people of the South upon the
subject of slavery, as to change the opin-
ions of the Abolitionists. They have but
'onc idea,' and that is the possession Of
this Government as a means by which
they intend to accomplish their hellish
work.

or later; there is no power that can avert

NEGRO KILLEp.-As the excursion train on the
Blue Ridge Railroad was returning from Sandy
Springs at six o'clock on Saturday afternoon last,
IL negro man named Cyrus, the property of Mr. a.
CAMPBELL, of Pendleton met his death under the
following circumstances: He was brakeman on
the train, upon n box car and was about rising
from his scat just before the train passed under
bridge, miles from this place, when, before he
could take warning from another negro upon an
adjoining car, the bridge struck the back OF his
head killing him almost instantly. The train was
stopped Immediately, and before we could reach
the car from the platform, two cars in 'front.' the
pulsations of life were gone. An inquest was held
over the body that night and a verdict rendered in
accordance with the above facts. No censure can
be attached to any for the unfortunate acci-
dent.

in growing this delicious fruit so many months du-

taken he supplied with Strawberries about the
first of April, and now he favors us again the
middle of September. We have had occasion here
toforc, through the public prints to refer tq the
cnIcms and SUCCESS OF Or. NORRIS IN horti-

none will deny that more general attention to such
matters would be conducive alike to health, good

McDuFrIE SrREEr.-In paragraph last week
in relation to the Episcopal Church, We inciden-
tally referred to the increasing beauty and elegance
of that part of town which bears the name of dis
tinguised and l,mented son of South Carolina
After n stroll in that direction we are 10th to be
satisfied with.so meagre reference. There is no
street within our corporate limits better adapted
by nature for handsome display of art. beautiful
and eligible building sites are on either hand, anu
in the last few years the taste Of many good citizens
has here found an outlet.
Among the more recent improvements which we
discern on McDuffic street, we ti;i that three of
our young friends, who latcly began matrimonial
life, and who (by the way) bear one family name,
have erected neat and tasty private edifces there
upon At the more remote portion of the street,
we approach the dwelling of our brother editor,
Jomx PETER BRowS, Esq, of the Gazette, and conf
ing in the direction of the square pass that of

emy lot, we stop to view the nearly completed anu
spacious house of SAMUEL BnowN, jr. Verify, II IL
few more of the name become residents on that
street, here arc now only vc.) its title will have
to be changed!
But there is another improvement on McDufiie
which deserves mention. Our friends of the Meth
odist congregation have just began some desirable
changes and improvements upon their church edi-
flee, Which will add very materially to the comfort,
neatness and capacity of the same. They intend
having more comfortable seats, re-painting the
building, and by extending the present front, pro-
vide more accommodation for the people generally
and the scolorcd folks" in particular. BY doing
this, they accomplish much desired object, and
which has long been needed. At the late protrac-
ted meeting numbers failed to obtain seats night
after night. We are glad the deficiency will soon
be remedied.
These evidences of progress on McDuffie street
are indeed gratifying, and we trust that all portions
will imbibe the spirit, until Anderson shall become
noted for beauty and taste she now is for public
spirit, energy and enterprise.

R- A letter from Paris. March 9th, gives
some general details of the interview be-
tween the Emperor Napoleon and Mr.. Faulk-
ner. Our Minister was attended by the two
Secretaries of Legation, Messrs. Calhoun and
Wilbor Upon being presented to His Maj
esty Mr. Faulkner made few remarks, in
accordance with diplomatic usage. He said
he was the bearer of the ardent wishes of our
whole country, that the ancient ties of amity
which unite the two nations, may continue
to be maintained in all their force and SIN
cerity. Mr.. Faulkner made a pertinent al
lusion to the new and enlarged common
benefits which could not fail to flow from
the recently declared commercial policy of
the Emperor Government, and to the lively
interest it has attracted in the United States.
The Minister concluded his address with the
assurance of the Presidents kind wishes for
the happiness and prosperity of the Empe-
ror and Empress. His Majesty replied in
English, heartily concurring in the sentl-
ments expressed BY the Minister declaring
his hopes and belief that the happy political
relations which have so long and uninter-
ruptedIv existed between France and the
United States would ever continue as cor
dial and amicable as they are at the present
moment. Atthe conclusion of these official
remarks on both sides, a conversation of a
less ceremonious character ensued between
the Emperor and Mr.. Faulkner, after which
he was conducted to the apartments of 'he
Empress and formally presented to her Maj
ssty, who, in substance, repeated hefriendly
assurances of the Emperor. Mr.. Faulkner
was then conveyed. in a Court carriage. to
his own residence. and his mission wa:

An ALARMING AsGREGATE.-The aggregate
of the appropriations-ord ordinary and extra
ordinary-made by the past Legislature. is
truly alarming for the people to look at. 1t
exceeds any sum ever before appropriated
by California Legislature. The different
sums add up nearly a million and half Of
dollars. In extravaganza the past Legisla-
ture has exceeded those which convened in
the days of State scrip when it took two
dollars to pay one when claims were pre-
sented against the State. Bat the past
based its operations upon cash in the treas
ury. Members had the gold to draw against
and they drew with liberality so reckless
that before their drafts are all honored the
treasury Will be stripped of every dollar
Indeed. we very much fear that before six
months have passed the State will again be
reduced to the old scrip system. True scrip
canuot be issued, under the present law, but
accounts can be audited, which may be
transferred from hand to hand, on the scrip
principle. The last Legislature felt the
want of a strong opposition minority. II
parties had been nearly equally divided, an
aggregate of nearly one and ii half millions
of dollars in appropriations during the ses-
sion would not have been witnessed The
opposition, such as it was, was, if possible,
more extravagant and reckless than the
heavy Democratic majority.-Sac. Union,
