" ' .4? I Blisrrllnitratis liciiis. Jlie Florida Rail Road. Reports hav* reached upfront various sources, j concerning,:! misunderstanding ??r controversy that has occurred between Governor I'eiry, of'j Florida, and Col. George. W. Call, respecting j the Florida Rail Road Company. As Gov. iVrv?like many of hi-, constitn- j ents?is a Souih Carolinian, and a- the Roads which are affected hv litis controversy are i watched with anxious interest hv many readers in this city and S'a'e, we give the following e.\' j planation of lite matters at issue, as furnishul by a correspondent of the Tallahassee Flori ; dian :? Charleston Co nrier. The act generally known as the internal iw j provement law, provides among otlic-r tiling, | tiiat a line of rail road from Feruaitdina to j Tatnpa Bay, with a branch to Cedar Keys, are | table improvements to he aided hy the inter- ! i^li iioprovement fund. The Florida Rail R >ad ; 'Company have undertaken to build this line of j Toad, and its branch, and have availed ilium* selves of the benefits of the internal improve inent luntl. Governor Perry therefore insists that'they shall simply carry out in good faith j 'that undertaking, and in order to economize and iprotect the public funds as far as practicable, he contends that the location of the road should he be made upon the most direct route from Kcrnandina to Tampa Bay, fixing the point oi di vergruce for the branch to Cedar Key at such place upon the main line as will b?t subserve the interests of the greatest number of the people. To this end the Governor insisted thru a part of the road Lad been impnopcrlr located, that instead of running upon the West side of Fame's Prairie, it should have been located to run upon 'the East side of the Prairie and fix the point of divergence for the branch to Cedar Key, at or near Micaimpy, would shorten the road to Tampa 10 miles, and add to the length of the Cedar Key branch only 4 mib-s, making a clear saving to the fund of l lie entire cost of 12 miles of road, or about (*2(bJ,0()<>) three hundred thousand dollars. The Company, however, declined to change the location as desired by Gov. .Perry, and in lieu thereof, proposed to commence the work upon the Tampa road at u?c<r, c?i u I'UI i u.n {MI i HI it lini'i'ti w " IUIIII ithe points of Hatchet's Creek ami Micauopy 'under immediate contract, &c. I understand, however, that the company, through Mr. Call, have denied making any such proposition, or having entered into any agreement with (J"v. Perry, or otherwise placed themselves under any obligations to build the roid to Tampa, as alledged ; and this constitutes the issue betw een the parties.
