.THE NEW YEAR.

To the newborn year, all hail' As it is ushered into life we feel new hopes and aspiration. while "Antici- nation forward points the view In the grave of the old year should bc buried the fcude and apimcsities which have so long separated those who ought to be fast friends, while with the birth of the new year we should brighten all the links tn the chain of friendship, and moving for ward from this relay house on the road of life, pursue our journey with the hand of reconciliation and charity extended, giving and receiving all the pleasures of imaginatiop. The great end of our existence is happiness, and with this recurring epoch, whfie new and generous resolutions are being formed, let us notserals loo nsJfowly the every action VG ! peiks6or, but give the best impulses the sway, rather hiding than laying open to inspection that which may more properly belong to thoughtlcss mind rather than to a perversc heart. It is by such noble means as these we may eunoble our selves, and in never-ending regenei F ,ntion place still nearer tile creature 10 the Creator.
 We have all turned over our new leaf, but let us ponder well and mark with wisdom the rules we inscribe thereon. Let justice poise the scales of right and wrong, and with firm re- solve to lead follow in the paths of virtue and honor. He who goes not astray from these finds the sanction oi a clear conscience, the first attendant in the train of ihappincss and content ment.
 Many of the hopes and fears that have risen with the beginning of inc new year will be realized before it's close. Let us prepare ourselves to meet alike the good or evil fortune that may attend us, not suffering the one to exhilerate or the other to de- press. And now may the blessings oi peace, contentment and good govern inent be the portion of all our people, and wishing them happy new year. may all things work together for iheir good.

RAILROADS.
New Lines Pr reSent and Pi oieCt-
 ed for tle S0uta.

From the New York Herald
 Our Southern exchanges nearly eve rv day contain reports of q new iIi'e oi railroad or branch railroad to be estab- lislled in some portion oi tl'ai section ei the country. Taking these reports at venture, it seems that there arc now agitaied in North and Central Mississippi-one of the three States iabooed by the Radicals-no less than six new railroad routes--namciy the Memphis aud Selnla. Inc Mississippi Valley, the Grenada aud Yazoo, Gre mda and Eastern, Grenada and Meri dian, aud the kosciusko and Corinth. This number of proposed new railroad lines i,l an ostracized State shows that there must be wondrous amount of hidden resources within it's limits, and that the proper mode nf developing them is appreciated by Northern capi- talisls. A valuable road will be ihe prt posed Gulf line, from New Orleans to Mobile, thence northeastcrly 10 Chattanooga, the latter place being Il sort ot coniaou center for railroad travel between inc North and South, as it was the key with which General Sherman was enabled to unlock the rocky gates of the Southern country and spread before his arny all easy pathway to the sea.
 The Virginia and Tennessee road runs througha Il fertile district of coun- try, and aims al tlse possession ot a fair share of traffic and travel from Memphis. on the Mississippi. 10 the Atlantic seaboard, Norfolk being it's principal Atlantic port. The Western North Carolina road is of considerable importance. as it is roniantically as- serted that when completed the sea board will kiss the blue-capped moun- tains oi the grand West-the Switzer- land of America-ieening with her minerals. water power aud agricultural resources" As m evidence of t.,c value ot some oi these Southern roads, il appears that the Georgia Central has just purchased iron, the city of Silyaii- nah all the stock of the latter, amount ing to one million and half, in the Atlantic and Gulf Raiiroad. This gives the Central monopoly or the trade from Macon 10 Savannah. afford ing to that port increased facilities in obtaining cotton and other ircights for it's European shipping.
 Thus we find in the most important parts of the Southern country the ex- isteisce of an entcrprisiig spirit Of progress in accordance with the ad- vanccmcnt Of inc age in all that relates to commercial greatness. What the South must do is to encourage immi. grafton. Fill the land with the indus trious populations of E,,rope, keep the niygers at work. keep going shead, and it will be bur short time before tic men Of the Southern cline will again rejoice in hounteous opnience aud un- restrained political freedom.

THE CITIZEN.

With the commencement of new year it seems proper that we shou'd say something about our success in the past and our prospects for tue future. During thc year just closed we have done well; that is, when we consider that all manner of legal work of what ever nature, has been denied us. Since the passage of the law that takes this work away from Democratic papers our subscription has been doubled and advertising favors have been re- ceived as fast as we have had space to give them. A large number of our patrons to whom we have sent the pa per and for whom we have done work. have not yet come forward and paid us, though we dave less cause of com plaint SO far than we had the year be- fore. linen the people were barely able to pay, now they are. Taking all things into consideration we feel that we have done as well as the c,rcum- stances surrounding us would permit. For the future we expect to print a better paper, while we offer a great inducement to subscribers who care to read a good stock and agricultural pa per. To all new subscribers we offer the American Stock Journal as pre- mium. the price of which is one dollar per annnm. Thus, for two dollars and fifty cents the subscriber will get N good family newspaper worth all ofthe money, and the best stock paper in the United States. We have already sent a large list of names to this journal, and hope to be able before January closes to forward them another large list. Those who have been taking IL, and others who have read itprononncc it the best stock paper in their knowl- edrc, and worth twice it's subscription price. We have sent for large num- Der of the October, November and De- cembcr numbers of 1868 us specimens, and will distribute tkem as soon as they come to baud. ln tho meantime let our friends go to work and send us names nna money for the new year, and we warrant they will be pleased with the papers sent then.
