RAILROAD.

We are truly glad to learn that
the work on this road is progress
ing so rapidly. We understand
that on yesterday our friend, Col.
Chesley B. Howard, superintendent
Of the contracting company, with
his convicts, was at work on Bul,
locks farm, in Cherokee county.
The people being determined to have
the road, have gone to work, and
are themselves, in these times Of
scarcity of money, pressing forward
their pet measure. They know the
untold value Of soil, mineral and
water power, to be developed by
this road. There 10 no work Of like
character in which the entire State
and the whole South is SO much in
.erested, and we do not hesitate to
say Georgia ought to help-self.io-
terest and protection to her citizens
demand it. Only those who know
the country and the immensely of
its wealth, now buried and useless,
can appreciate wha, we say or mean.
We admire the pluck Of these PEG.
pie, striving to relieve themselves.
1t is noticeable fact that the con-
tracing company is composed Of
citizens living on the line of the
road. That by the terms of the con-
tract the grading is done at the low
est cash prices, in panic times ; that
they receive no other compensation
than paid up stock at par above the
actual expenses of working the con-
victs. But we believe they will
have a double reward first in de-
veloping their section-whieb will
make them rich and then the cost
Of the narrow guage which is being
constructed 80 cheap will make the
stock valuable and pay a dividend.
Atlanta is interested-every mer-
chant and business man inf Atlanta
is interested, for the road will swell
the stream which adds to the BUSH
ness and prosperity Of Atlanta more
than any other projected enterprise ;
Our people ought to lend a helping
hand, and while some have sub
seribed, we hope all will unite with
our neighboring friends and aid in
the early completion of the road.
Gov. Smith and Mayor Spencer
have been over the line and will
more than corroborate all we have
said. They ''proved their faith by
their works" by subscribing and
paying. 1t is true Marietta is more
directly interested, but il the popula-
ton and business of Marietta is in
creased ten.fold, and twenty other
Marictta's built on the line, they
will all serve to add to the popula.
tion, wealth and prosperity of Allan.

Monitor of last week | see an article
from the Big Shanty correspondent
of that paper in which he says it is
ssrumored" that the colored people
in the neighborhood Of "Shiloh"
church are congregating together at
"night" for the purpose Of muster-
ing or drilling.
There is weekday and Sabbath
School being carried on at the color
ed peoples church near Shiloh. On
the night referred to by this cores
pendent, some Of the pupils Of these
schools met to practice and prepare
for their examination and celebra
ton. | live very near lin hearing
Of these schools and yet ] never
heard Of this rumor until ] saw it in
the Monitor. This ra10r does man
fest injustice to the colored people.
The natural inference drs@n from
this rumor is that the negroes are
anticipating the passage of that
devil -begotten, hell-born measure
called the Civil Rights Bill and are
preparing for the evil consequences
that would most certainly follow its
passage.
think | know the colored peo-
pie of this neighborhood. They are
generally living on the land of their
former masters and are contented
and happy. Some Of them by in
dustry and economy have acquired
considerable property. have talk
ed with some Of the most intelligent
of them in reference to this crown
ing infamy, the civil rights bill, end
they regard it as another "forty
acres and mule" affair. Most of
them know that the passage Of this
low, fiendish measure, would be the
death -kpell to their every hope of
prosperity or even existence on this
continent.
The colored people want peace ;
they want no more freedom than
they now enjoy. They feel their
inferiority to the white race. They
know the white race must and will
remain their super;ors socially and
intellectually. The colored people
in this locality have been and are
now remarkably quiet and unob
trusive, giving no one mot even
hysterical old women) any cause for
alarm.
There is as much tendency on the
part of some white people to degrade
our race by lowering themselves to
the social Equality of the negroes,
as there is of the negro to crowd
himself into social equality with the
white people. Such people the mes
gro loathes and detcst.
know the Big Shanty cores
pendent Of the Monitor, aud know
him to be a gentleman incapable of
doing an injustice even to the color
ed man but will take occasion to
say to him Madam Rumor is not at
all reliable. She has been the au-
thor of much unnecessary strife and
confusion. She cries wolf, when
there is no wolf. There is not the
least cause for alarm in this neigh
borhood. My opinion is that the
result of the election on the 9TH of
October will demonstrate the fact
that the colored people of this Dis.
triet are in full utilization with the
white people by giving Hon. W. D.
Anderson and +. II. Lindley and
the balance of the ticket an over
whelming majority.
