Es1iIrOnl Matters.

AUGUSTA, GA, December 23.-During the
past two days the directors of the Georgia
and representatives of the Georgia Central
railroads have conferred here. The cause of
the conference is that the Pennsylvania Cen
tral has been cndeavoring to lease three lines
leading from Atlanta to Selma in which the
Georgia and the Georgia Central are both
largely interested.
The PENNSYLVANIA Central is said to have
made proposals to the Georgia road towards
getting its consent to the lease.
The Georgia Central is now endcavoring
TO prevent any arrangement Of this kind, and
Offers other terms to the Georgia road. 1t is
believed that these terms will be accepted,
and the Pennsylvania Central will fail to get
control Of the lines above mentioned.

A HERO WORTHY A PoET's ATTENTION.
Jim Blut!soe had worthy disciple in the ell
@necr of the burned City OF New London.
Though he didn't hold her nozzle agin the
bank because lie couldn't get it there, he
did stick to his post till every hair on his face
and head was sin%cd with the flames. Then
he bucklcd a lilc-preserver round him and
went on deck to help the passengers. They
say his voice was CHEEKY and his face as bright
as ever through all the heat and glare of the
burning boat, and many 4 man and woman
owed their life that night to Matt Bakers
vigorous arm. The forward deck was the
last to go, and high up near the bows Matt
found a helpless woman without support
of friend or plank. His face grew little
grave as he fastened his life-preserYcr around
her waist and lowered her into the water,
but cleared again as bright as ever when he
turned to bid his captain goodbye. They
were the last soulsto leave the boat, and
Jumped together from the gansway. The
captain, unframed and fresh, reached the
shore in safety; but Matt Baker, burned and
bruised, one eye blinded and one ann raw
from shoulder to wrist, with his quiet smile
and his brave heart. went knowingly to his
death, counting the life Of a nameless woman
better than his own.

For my own Part cannot express my own
Sentiments of it, better than in the Words of

repeat them: the worst that can happen, /

that the Province must pay for it. Now,
think. the Province may pay for it, if it is
burned as casiIcy rs If it is drank and l think
il is a matter OF indifference whether it is
drank or drowned. The Province must pay
for il in either Case. Butthcrc is this differ
cncc, | believe it will take them 10 years to
get the Province to pay for it; if so, we shall
save 10 Years Interest of The Money, whereas,
if is drank it must be paid for Immediately;

the Province would never pay for it; and
also in this that the final Ruin of orr Constl-
tuition of Government and Of all American
Liberties. would be the certain Consequence
of Suffering it to be landed.
Governor Hutchinson and his Family and
Friends will never have done with their good
services TO great Britain & the Colonies.
But for him, this tea might have been saved
to the East India Company. Whereas this
Loss if the rest Of the Colonies should follow
our example, will in the opinion OF many
Persons bankrupt the Company.
However, dare say, that the Governors
and ConSiHnecs and Custom House officers,
in the other Colonies will have more Wisdom
than ours have had & take cf!cctual care that
their Tea shall he sent back 10 England I'M

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE on RATA young

him start ont, went back to town for help,
but when it arrived it was nearly dark, and
a northern hurricane had set i'll, daslling the
icy waves over the log, Which was the young
mans only salvation, and though bis friends
ATTEMPTED to reach him, every scow and Tat
boat which was put out swamped at once,
and they were obliged to leave him to the
almost certain fate of lingering and painful
death. All that night he remained upon the

bv the waves until he was encruSted in q solid
al1mor of ice. and tumblcd about by the cur
