Obteuary, GEORGE MOINTOSH TROUP. We are informed, by telegraph, of the death of ex- Governor Troup, of Georgia, which event oceurred at his wesidence in Laurens county, April 26, Governor Troup ‘was born in September, 1780, at MoIntosh’s Bluff, on the ‘ombigbee river, then included within the Territory of Georgia, but now within the boundaries of Alabama. Governor Troup was descended from « family long known for its faithful services in the cauce of the infant colo- nies, His grandisther, Captain John Mclatosh, fought bravely in the army of West Florida, and when the war of the Revolution broke out attached himself to the Roy- alist cause, He fled from Georgia and settled in the in- terier ot Alabama. His daughter married in Eogland a tleman of the name of Troup, and the subject of this Setcn was the issue of that mmrriage. One branch of the Mcintosh family affiliated with the lu and Gove: nor soonp bee, two cousins wno were chiefs in the ‘tribes weet of Mississippi. Another branch attached themselves to the American cause in the war of the Re- voluiion, fought in the war of 1812-16; and Col. John S.

He made e great rensation in the House, being a fervid, speaker, acd warm in defending the inte- reais of his State. In 1816, he was elected to the United Btates Senate, over Dr. Bibb, and in 1823 he was chosen Governor of Georgia. During nis administration the State of Georgia was brought in collision with the gene- val government, in consequence of difficulties with the Ind‘ans, of which trive some of Governor Troup’s connections were chiefs. The plan peone by the gene- val government for the removal of the Creeks did not #a tisfy the citizens of Georgia, and the Governor had @ ery correspondence; with the Sesretary of War on the subject. A treaty was made, to whica the Governor paid no respect, but ordered the State officers to pro- @eed in oppcsidon to it, They were then threatened with the armed interference of the general government, fm amsver to which threat Goveraor Troup ordered the officers of the State militia to be in reacicess te repel any hostile invasion of the State, thas set ting at defiance the authority ef the general gov- erpment.

[From the Boston Traveller, May 5. A report has been circulated of late that Fillmore bad determined to decline the nomination of the Am3r- ican party. The report eeems to have originated with the political opporents of Mr. Fillmore, acd the only authority adduced is a letter which he is eaid to have written to some friends ia New York. The obvious ob- ject of the originators of the report is to counteract te efforts now being made to ecncentrate the American party In fayor of the nomination hoping thereby to ttrengthen the factions which now distract that party and threaten to deatroy its integrity. It will be seen frem the following letter from Mr, Haven—an intimate trend and former law partner of Mr. Fillmore, aud now aromter of Congrese—that there is no ground for the statement that Pr. Fillmore inteads to decline the nomi tion, and tbat without the sacrifiseo: any former political opinicna, bis views wil be found to bo in accordance with thore of the American party which are expresaed ia Mr. Hayeo’s jetier.

Your letter of the 28th instant, containing a quotation from some Boston paper, has been this moment hsnied me at my reat. I will answer it before I lay is down, The quctation is as follows :—‘‘ It is now conceded that Mr. Wilmore will decline the nomination of the Ameiioaa party, 1 learn from what I consider good anthority, tha’ he has written to his friends in New York that he is not an ‘ American,’ in the party sense of that word; that he cannot accept the nomination—and that as soon as he arrives in New York, he will maxe hia decision kaown.”’ I have not seen the paper from which you make the ex tract, but I have seen much similar moasense in free circulation in the avti-American press. Supposing the sensible wen of the country knew fully how to appreciate it, no one has taken oxcasion to reply to it. ‘The circulation of these reports seems to be about half the stock in trade of the cemocrasy of the South, and ap proximates to the entire assortment of the republicans And abolitionists of the North. There ¢xtreme men make a parade of isenes with each other, on purely sectional questions, bat upon this > ject they iook into each other’s eyes with mutual sym- psthy and satis‘action. They believe in common, if Land can drive from the field the man who is standing in the very midst of tae great American rrassez—of the people themselves—as Gistinguished trom toe poilticlens, aad the intrigues for place, that their work in the comiog cempaln will be more than half completed, and the winds of discord and sectional strife will again te et loose, and the cry will then {gain be raised, that the constitution is ‘an ill- considered compact’’—“ an atrocious bargain,” and that the time has come to ‘let the Union slice.” My dear sir, the wish of these men is father to the thought, and they will be disappointed in all their calen- ions. Mr. Fitlmore was not nominated to decline. His nomi- nation was the result of the deliverations of as intelli gent, war hearted, cool headed, disereet and patrio‘i: ® body of men as has met in this country since the con venticn that framed the constituticn, Mr Filurere will not decline. He has not so informed me 'n terme, It is tne; but were be to decline, he would prove a trailor to thet sentiment in the country which so nobly, 20 generously sustained him in the very tr: times ot his previous 2dm nistration, and to thosa jasc and comprehentive American sentiments which inou'cs and irsis' upon exact justize to every section of our ccmmon country, wich ail i's diversified insti utions, io- terests, préjucices and pursuits. The great American epicit and Ameri:an heart sus- taiped him in that former admin{‘tration, upon whizh he entered amidst difficulties, perils and sec'iozal s‘rite. He carried it on from the neceseities of the case, with the appointees of his predecersor, and not with men of his own selection, rave bia Cadmnet, in which, for obvions veascns, » change was vectssary, without casting any ixsputaiicn on thore not retained, and save also a very limited number—lese than dozen, I think—tha’ «>'f eqpect com pelied him to change, ia his own State. t adr inistration brought peace, quiet, contentment and satisfaction to the whole csuatry. Oar foreign rela. tiche were matn‘ained on higa, honorable and American grounds. In all our domestic affairs things subside into acquiescence, satisfac'ion and approval.

The greatest decline to-day was in the leading Western railroad stocks. Michigan Southern and Chieago end Rock Island experienced the heaviest fall. Cleveland and Toledo opened at 7534 per cent, cash, and closed at 75, buyer ten days. Erie was about the steadiest stock on the liet. The large receipts of this company in April and the prospect of May cannot be overlooked. The receipts thus far in May bave been at the rate of $778,000 for the month—an amount greater than the New York Central ever recetved in one month. Erie cannot remain long at present prices. It is ome ot the cheapest stocks on the Hist at current rates. Railroad bonds are well main- tained. The pressure im the money market naa not af- fected mueh this clas of securities. At the second bosrd the market generally was a little better. There was mot much business transacted, bu the tendency was slightly upward. [rie advanced 14 per cent.

What is here said of the soil and its productiveness spplies equal’y well to nearly all the of this com- pany, in the several divisions above enumerated, aud most of those which are of different character equal]y valuable for the beds of gravel, sand and build- fog materials which 1! contain. the route cf the road, in the neighbor! of De Soto and Da Quoin, ve deposits of coal, of most excellent quality, ve been vered, and is now furnished at such low rates a to be regarded by many os cheaper for fuel than he expense of cutting and Preparing wood for that pur- pose. her explorations will no doubt develope other Sports of coal equally valuable with those which have °) n . Generally the lands are well watered, many of then by navigable streams and their tributaries, where there is an absence of li streams and springs, excellen’ water can be procured by ig wells from twenty to birty feet ceep. Much of rie lands along the oute of the read are interspersed with fine groves of t mober, or it is found within reasonable distance of them; although Lv | of them are gently rolling, they are énerally sufficiently so for all purposes of snd none o; them, in my opinion, are #0 wet as to be unfit for cultivation—a very Nmited being sufficient to relieve them from all difficulty on that subject. As a gexeral thing there lands are underlaid by heavy strata of clay, of excellent quality for making brick, so that the settlers can have choice of stone, brick or frame build- ings, either being within reach ‘of their own industry. On she see pert of the main line, and some portions of the bi ihe land is heavily rolling, abounds in fine timber, and the scenery, ig many of these localities, is hly picturesque and rMhantic. @ whole country is healthy inan extraordinary de- , and although, aa in all other places where rich soil is first ploughed amd exposed 8 action of the sun, the rettlers on these lands are subject to billious and in- termittent fevers at the commencement of their settle. ments, the attacks are much milder than in apy other section of the country, rarely prove fatal, and readily and speedily yield to the simplest remedies. ‘An erroneous impression exists in many portions of our couniry, relative io the prairie lands of this Stato, the absence of tumber being supposed to rezder them le7s valuable. ‘The sumerous saw mills now in active opers- tion along the line of this road end ita vicinity, are eon- stantly mecufacturirg into lumber the vast masses of valuable timber that abound in particular localities, aud thet lumber ean be transported prowaptlys and at such low ratec by the ratlroad, tuat it ts foand cheaper to pur- ehare it tor buildirgg and fencin than to clear and grab ordinary lande. Fencing, moreover, is but temporarily edges can be grown in four years, so a3 10 ‘fect barrier to all anima's, and the materials of the fences can then be cold or used for other purposes. From the testimony of practical farmers along the mpute of this road, it appears that these lands will yield from twenty to forty bushels of wheat to the acre, worth $1 25 to $1 60 per brthel: sixty to one hundred bushels of corn to the sere, worth from 25 to 40 canta per bushal— all other grains in the same proportion, and fruits and vegetables in abundance. ene lands, with all their produc'iveness, quarries ani mineral wealth, had remained compara‘ively unsettied and uncultivated till this road was constructs¢, and would have continued #0, in all probability, for many years to come, but for the factlities of travel and traas- portation furnished by it. For about a third of a cea- tury most of them have been in market, subject to private entry, and yet, in very few instances wera purchasers found fir them; and if in process of time they bad been sold by the government, it would have been for the nominal price of 12%. per acre, to which they had been reduced by the operation of the graduation actof 4th August, 1854. Remote from markets, without facilities for transportation, and with roads almost im- passable, the cost of hauliug the products of lands to market, and the time souryes therein, amounted almost to as much as the value ot the load. Then, corn brought from five to eight cents per bushel, and wheat from 25 to 40c. per bushel. and hence, except tor home consump- tion, the farmer bad ne fncccrapsiaeny to till his lands. Stock was equally unprofitable, for the markets were 50 remote that it could not be drivea to advantage, and to haul it would bave cost nearly ss much aa it was worth. Now, prcduce of every kind stock command ready rales, with choice of markets, and bring nearly the New York prises, less the cost of traurportation, and conse- quently the’ farmers are growing rich. In no other instance, probably, have such abundant benefits flowed from ike causes. To the govarament thy lands were comparatively valueless; to the State they were in no way profitable; to the farmers the productive neva wasof no avail, while tie quarries of atone and mar dle, and mines of coal, with which the landsabound, were wholly undeveloped. In this condition, and under those circumstances, Con; » by the act-of 20th Decem. bet, 1850, donated these lands to ‘he State, oa the condi tions chiefly, that the road chould be commenced and completed im a specified time. The State transferred these lands to thin company, requiring sufficient per- formance of the conditions ‘stipulated by the govern- ment, securirg also the holders of the com: pany and appointing trustees ‘or that purpose. To avoid all future aifficuily, however, on the part cf the purchasers of these lands, ani to s:- cure to them Renee titles in fee sinple, the Legisia- ture, by act of 10th sey, 1851, In addition to the requirements abcve mentioned, provided that ‘‘on making euch rales, and receiving the price of ench laads in mo ney cr bonds as sforesaid, said trustees shall convey such tracte by an absclute title in fes simp'e to toe purchases, which conveyance sha'l operate as a release or an ac quittance of the particular tract or tracts so sold, from alllisb'lity or incumbrance on account of said deed of trust, ard the fesue of ssid bonds s> specified ia the preceding section, so aa to ves* in the pu: plete and indefeasible title.” I would here reraark. that all the lands affected by thie deed of tras‘, ate deedad by the trustees, and hence all purcbaters receive their tit! uncer this isw, free ard clear of all and every incun- orance. This company tock these lands thus comparatively valueless, under the ac’ of the State Legislature, and by the expenditure of about twenty milions of dollars, ira- parted vitality to the whole matter by the construction and ¢quipment of this road. That the country might be rapidly developed, the carryirg business of the road in- creared and s mcderate price obtained for the lands, tha credit eystem was adopted. The prices were fixed from five to twenty-five dollars per acre—six years credit iven, and now three per ceot interest only charged fro Jenre interest at this rate on the whole amount o° mrchase money is required to be paid when the contract for vale is msde, and the purchaser gives hia no‘es at two, three, four, five and six years, with the interest added. Ove of the conditions of eale is, that one several teuth et the land shall be cultivated each year, s0 that, at the end of five years, one balf of it shall be under cultiva:ion. Alzeady the benefit of this system is beginning to be fe't in the increased business of the road, as showa by the annual statement ot the euperintendeut, aud when fully carried out, that business will he increased to euch a2 extent that, in my opinion, the whole foree of the line constantly employed, will be inrufficteat to perform it wishout a double track, and the profit will, of course, be : fablished at distances of about ten miles aps entire lergth of the road and brancher. Already wany of there stations have grova up iato flourishing villages and towne, each belagy the mercantile centre of its particular neighborhood. As the Janes in the neighborhood cf these stations are sett'ed and cultivated, not only the business of the road, but that of each station, will be increased, and the lots,whica are now sold fcr prices merely nominal, will then be- come exceedingly valuabie, and 60 far as retained by th» ecmpany, will add roatertally to its revenues. X At the prices and on the terms for which the lands of this company are offered, they are more profitable ani yield « better interest, with lees labor, than lands at the same rates inthe interior of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland or Virginia. With the advantages of olima‘e, high prices for early crops, convenient and cheap trane- portation, and choice of markets, they ate much better investments than govert ment lands in more remote Wes- tern States, even if the latter were equally productive. With moderate industry, a settler can earn from those lands the whole smonnt of Lp o money required to | psy for them, betore his first note becormee due, aa shown by the seccmpenying recapitulation of an article pub- Iebed in the Praire Farmer, the correctness of which is folly sustained by the testimony of energetic ani industrious settlers on these iaods. Superadded to these direct profits, the great and constant in- crease in the value of the lands, consequent on the rapid settlement of the country, and {he equally xapid_ growth of the toWne and villa; along the line of the road. Moreover, the geographical poettion cf Illinois is euch as to give it great and important aivantages. Located about the centre of the rich agricultural portions of the Union, with the Mississippi river on one side, the Ohio on anoth- er, Lake Michigan on thejnertheast, and overlsid with network of railroads, ithasall the advantages of water communication to all sections of the country, and even to foreign parts, while navigation remains open, and when closed, throngh those nunerous railroads it has unbroken and almost interrupted communisation with the principal markets of the Fast. Thus it will be perceived, aa stated by a distinguished staterman, that this lee isa three-slded vagal, and one by which each of the parties is a gainer. 16 gain to the United States bas been the speedy sale, at privee vary ing from $2 50 to $6 per acre, of lands that other- wise would have remained on hand tor » quarter or halt century, and then been disposed of at 1216 cents psr acre, thus being fer more than repaid for all the lands granted. The gain tothe State has been s Jargely in- creased populaticn of industrious, intelligent and enter- prising cltlzene, chiefly producers, a very heavy increase ol taxable property, an immens9 acquisition of trade and capital, and seven per cent of ithe gross receipts of this road, which will soon go far towards relieving the people from all taxation for State purposes. And tae gain to the company is a valuable ané productive road, constructed and equipped on Mt Homies scale, at an expense of over twenty miifions of dollars, witha reasonable certainty, however, that by s judicious disposal of these Janda aad town lots the entire expense of conetraction will be re- furéed, and the value and productiveness of the road be constantly increasing. All which is respectfully sub- mitted.
