Seneca Items.

Having recently visited the thriving city
OF Seneca we took II iew items in that livciy
business p,ace and transcrlbe from our note
book as follows:
Main stree; is being nicely gravelled from
the depot to the canal, and the intention, we
understand, is 10 put the street southwark TO
the Illinois river bridge in the same excellent
order. No town in La Sale county has maze
more permanent improvement This season
than Seneca, all of which Is due to the active
and efficient town trustees and the president
Dan. Shade, not by any means leaving out
the marshal and street commissioner, Mr.
Maher. Jerry Crotty's new brick building
the only one in the town, we belieVe-is near
" completed, and so well does il please the
owner that he has made, or is making, ar
rangements 10 put up similar one on Inc
south side OF the canal. Our respected TREND
10 waking up 10 the knowledge that brick
buildings are u great improvement upon
wooden ones Mr.. Beterman, the well known
hotel keeper, is meditating upon building
new hotel, adjoining Mr.. Crotty's brick, and
we think he will make it of the same materi.
al. Lawrence Epple and Valentine Maurer,

the proof was wholly wanting, feel happy.

RAILROAD MEETING.


A Railroad meeting was held in
Canton on the 3lst Of March. The
meeting was organized by calling
Col. James r. Brown, President
of the Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad, to the Chair, and W, II.
Simmons, of Pickens county, was
requested to act as Secretary. Col.
Brown explained the object of the
meeting in few sensible and prac>
teal remarks, urging upon the citi-
zens Of Cherokee county, to act well
their part; that now is their time to
move for the road. At the close of
his remarks he introduced Col. HUI
bert to the audience who addressed
the meeting at length, giving a de-
tailed statistical account of all the
railroads in the United States, with
actual cost of each; showing by
facts and figures the difference III
favor of the Narrow Guage. The
Colonel then addressed the meeting
eloquently on the necessity of di-
versity Of pursuits, showing that
Georgia was slave to the manufac-
tories ofthe world. He showed that
the new born Georgian is wrapped
in imported goods, he uses imported
goods through life and is buried in
imported goods in death. Nothing
but railroad facilities will develop
the resources of this portion Of the
State. His speech was very able
one, full OF practical sense and use
full information.
Gen. Phillips at the request of
the chairman explained the relation
between the stockholders of the road
and the contractors who have the
convicts.
The books were then opened for
subscription of stock and very
large amount was subscribed.

MARIETTA g NORTH GEORGIA
RAILROAD.

This Road will commence at Ma
rietta, in Cobb county, and run al
most on an airline to Ducktown, q
Aourishing place situated in the
midst Of one Of the richest mining
districts in the Union, In Tennessee,
a few miles over the line. En- route
1t passes through Canton, in Chero>
kee countyj Jasper, in Pickens
county; Elijay in Gilmer county,
and thence through Fannin, leaving
Morganton, the county site, few
miles to the right. Should the road
be continued northward hereafter, it
will shorten the distance to Cincin-
matt, as compared with the nearest
existing lines, some eighty-fye
miles. The counties traversed con-
stitute the very best farming and
stock-raising region in the State. -
The valleys are highly productive,
while marble of the finest quality,
granite, gold and copper abound. -
Il is also said to produce the finest
spruce and white pines to be found
in the South. As means are at
present not over abundant, the COM
pany have determined to adopt the
narrow gusge, which, it is thought,
will afford all the required facilities.
Hon. J. r. Brown. Of Cherokee
county, is the President Of the COM
pany, and has entered upon the
work with q will and vigor that
knows no such word az fail.

ty years to come. The citizen Of
Georgia or Alabama is barely three
days from Pennsylvania, and can
ship hither for market; order
hence; come here easily and receive
visits from home. And it is borne
in the very nature of the facts that
enable such purchases to be made
that the States are gaining so rapid
~ in other directions that each pur-
chase must appreciate in value at a
compound ratio.
These instances apply to Georgia
and Alabama, but the fact is not so
limited. Like inducements and OPP.
portunities abound in all the South
and will not continue long. They
need immedirte application and i'm
provement We know it is perfect>
ly safe for our citizens to go because
many have gone, and reported the
kind treatment they have received
and the kindly sentiment that is be-
ing renewed and strengthened to-
ward Pennsylvania. We know that
at no remote DAY the bonds that
unite us with Georgia and Alabama,
with North Carolina and Tennessee,
will be as strong as those that al
ready bind US to Virginia. These
opportunities only hasten the cores
pondence and appeal with equal
power to the citizens of those States
and this Commonwealth. The adj
vantages are common to both seller
and purchaser, and each gains in a
double degree from the transaction.
We have no surplus population in
Pennsylvania to send anywhere
But we shall certainly send more
capital and some population into
this field.

CHARLESTON, S. G.. March 16.
Carpetbaggery and negro rule has
"done the business for US, as Chas.
Lambs last platefull Of mutton
pie did for him. We are s'clean
busted" Robbed-st stripped Of every,
thing. The plumber amounts to six
teen million-and this, since the war.
Our people have not the means to
pay the taxes on their homes
Many sold out for what they could
get, and gone to Texas and other
regions. But the Federal and State
officials have fattened and grown
rich. Hundreds ofthese bloodsuck :
ers have got full at the expense Of a
helpless and suffering people. One
case, not SO aggravated as some
others, will mention. tits that Of
Mr.. Leslie, the late internal revenue
collector of the first district. He
came to Charleston poor man, just
after the war, and actually borrowed
two pairs of socks aud a shirt. He
didIwell as internalrevenue collector,
and made pile. He also procured
himself to be elected (by the negroes)
to the State Senate, aud there, for
four years, managed to do thrifty
business, like many, Of the colored
Legislators. He Hretired" one year
ago, his income being SIS, 600, and
he owns city lots near New York
Central Park, and drives his fast
horses. He is one of thousands.
And now--as to negro rule here.
You should just see this Legislature
when it is in full bloom. But there
lis nno use talking Here isa fact :
There was a trial in progress in this
city, and "the court" consisted Of a
negro Judge. The lawyers were Of
the same persuasion--all save one /;
he was white man, and when he
made his plea the Judge" interrupt
ed him with questions as to what that
meant, ill Suddenly the negro law
yer onthe other side sharply repris
manded His Honor, exclaiming
"You hush up! Don't you hear

lar, means white man, who is also
supposed to be man Of education

We are Of the same opinion Of
the Dalton Citizen when it says Car
tersville has furnished our Congress-
man ever since the war, and not
satisfied with this, she proposes 70
furnish the next member in the per-
son Of Hon. John w. Wofford,
very worthy man it is true, but our
neighbor ought not to be 50 greedy.
That bailiwick does not constitute
the whole Of the Seventh Congress-

would at least be a mark Of modesty
in her to 60 little slower on the
