On the afternoon of the 2d, Val paraiso was visited by a severe shock’of an earthquake; the amount of damage was not ascertained, but it was supposed to be verv great, as the shock, on board of the -Raritan was severely felt. The Panama Railroad is doing a good business. Ilie freight and passenger bus iness, even in the present condition of the road, has not only been large but profitable, notwithstanding the frequent and heavy re- paiis foi some time necessary. Hie arrange ments for transporting passengers, though not so comfortable as they might he, are very secure, as well to baggage as to the lives and limbs of the passengers. The baggage is all ticketed, and duly entered on way bills, and the company is responsible for everything. Lieutenant Gillis returns home from Li- ma after an absence of nearly three vears.

The lover of such a luxury need not be assured that they arc a delicious article. Mr. Berlaek has a variety in his line and sells cheaply, those who arc fond of smoking, chewing, or snuf fing would do well to give him a call. Ilis shop is next door to Ainsworth & Slager’s Store. Historical Lecture. The Rev. George White who is prepar ing for Press a history of Georgia from its earliest settlement, will pass through this place to-moirow and will deliver a Lecture at night on the subject of the American Revolution in Georgia, and the men who acted in it, to which the public generally arc invited to attend. As to the Lecture, we will say that it will be of the most in teresting character, having had the pleas ure of hearing Mr. W., on this subject, we feel fully authorised to assure the public of this fact. Mr. V Lite has devoted the past ten years of his life entirely to this subject, to superintend an astronomical observatory,j and is therefore, fully prepared to enlighten the instruments of which were provided by the United States Government. The principal object to be attained by this I astronomical expedition, was the determi nation of the sun’s parallax by a new meth od, distinct from that employed in the last century, and which, from numerous simul taneous observations in the other hemis phere, promises to afford great exactitude to this important centre of our planetary system. Ihe laoors of Lieutenant C., however, have not been confined to this point alone, in proof of which : YYC-;'may state he brings .home with him some .40,000 observations relative to the position of-stars surrounding the south pole, for the formation of a new catalogue-of stars; air extensive collection of observations relative to. the motions of the moon, and meteorological observations made day and night for an uninterrupted period of three years. Arrest of a Mail Roller.—Mr. Hol brook, agent of the Post Office Department, arrested at Philadelphia on the 11th inst., the perpetrator of several mail robberies committed at Baltimore The. prisoner is John W. Coinegys, who, while employed as a conductor of the Express train on the Baltimore railroad, cut open the pouches at different times, at Baltimore, and took possession of drafts, after destroying the letters containing .them. He hadohtaiued cash u;>on drafts submitted by various New York banks to Southern correspondents, but payable in New York,- by opening an ac count in a bank in Philadelphia, and depos iting the drafts with forged endorsements. When arrested, he had 87 570 in bills of > j the public on a matter which has hitherto received little or no attention, and with his fund of information has gathered up a store of anecdotes and romantic incidents con nected with persons who acted in the revo lution which are laughable and amusing, those therefore, who wish to enjoy an hour or so pleasantly should not fail to give him a hearing. The Book which Mr. White proposes to publish is one of general interest to the people of this State, as all doubtless wish to familiarise themselves with the incidents of its early settlement, and the price will put it in the power of all to posess the work The price will range from $5,50 to 84 ac cording to the binding; a neat and dura ble book may be obtained for the first price which will be worth double the a- mouut in any family. The subscription payable on delivery of the book, which wil] be some time in April or May next. Mr. White will Lecture in Louisville on Thursday night on the same subject, the people of that town- and vicinity are re- spectfullv invited to attend. State Road Affairs. We notice , that the people of Marietta have become somewhat indiguant with Mr. Wadley, for raising the freights on the State Road, and very seriously challenge his in tegrity in this matter. They resolve that lie is in some way connected with the Cen tral Rail Road and the city of Savannah in raising the charges, and not acting for the benefit of the State, and therefore advise all persons trading at Marietta not to ship their goods by way of Savannah. The Savannah Republican denies flatly that that city, or the Central Rail Road, has ever shared any partiality from the Superintendant of the State Road, and shows from the reports of that officer to the Governor, that Savannah and the Central RailJUoad has shared but a small part of the business of the State Road. It seems to us that the Superiu- tendant is a dull and stupid fellow, if he has the interest ascribed to him by the Marietta people, and cannot make it tel! better in fa vor of his interest, he is but a lame copart ner and the C. R. R. ought to dissolve with him, and pray the Governor to eject him from the office. It is a matter of but little interest to us in this part of the State how the rates of freight arc fixed on that road, but as tax payers we are decidedly in favor of haviug them so arranged as to make the concern as shy al >out the State Treasury as possible, if higher rates are necessary to make the road pay its own way, let them be raised, and those who are especially bene fited by the road will pay for it, as in justice they ought, the Superintendaut of course is to be the judge in this matter, and it will be time enough to find fault with him, when it is seen that bis policy has not subserved the interest of the State, but not that of the people along the line of the State Road. with it. Before leaving this branch of the subject, I will propound to Crab Grass a few questions which may lead him to reflect on this subject a little more maturely. Did you or not, ever drink any well or spring water impregnated with lime ? Iron ? or sulpher? If yea, how did it get into the wa ter. Did you or not ever drink any water in which neither of these ingredients could be detected by the tasLe, that was decidedly had or unpleasant to the taste, and if yea, why is it thus bad or unpleasant to the taste itSF” Ihe Supreme Court of New Hamp shire have declared the law passed by their Legislature prohibiting the sale of liquor, as unconstitutional. High 1’rices.—At a sale of wines of the lateJosiAH Lee—stuck broker—in Balti more lately, fifty demijohns of various brands of Madeira were struck off at prices ranging from twenty four dollars to foUy-ninc dol lavs per gallon; and cate lot of twenty-two bottles commanded the extreme price of fif- the Bank o!

The first discovery of the rob bery was from finding a rifled pouch in a sink attached to the United States Hotel, Baltimore. The prisoner is connected with a most respectable family in Philadelphia. Finances of Georgia.—The money arti cle of the N.E. Evening Post has the fol lowing; The debt of the State of Georgia is about or under “three millions of dollars,” con tracted for a railroad 140 miles long, (through the only gap in tliep mountains from Maryland to Alabama,) running to the Tennessee river. The Western and Atlan ticRailroad is owned exclusively by the State of Georgia.. It is the only connecting link in the railroads on the western side of the mountains with the south and south-west; and-, of course, none others can be built to compete with it, without a charter from the State. The income of the railroad has iu creased 100 per cent, within this year, and a double track will be absolutely necessary to accommodate the freight and travel. Railroads are made and being constructed, both on the east and west, to connect with it, and the Legislature has provided by tax for all the interest on the debt and. expen ses of the State, and appropriated the inter est of the road to redeem the bonds. It can be sold for four millions cash; and the chief Superintendent thinks that the in come will be. riel.from. 8. to 15 per - cent, on the three millions; and, if the State be not compelled to make'a double track (o aceorn- date the increasing business of the road, the Comptroller will be a purchaser-of the bonds in less than two years. w The interest aud coupons on all Georgia stock have been 'regularly paid, and no State or States e-an make be ai- e.

Another Route to the Pacific.—Col* Rntnsey has been recently exploring the route included in the grant made to him by the Mexican Government, to navigate the river of Lacatula or Meseala, from the sea to the boundary line of the State oi Puebla, a distance of 450 miles—the latter point being only about 350 miles from Acapulco, on the Pacific. By this route the distance from New Orleans to San Francisco will be per formed in twelve days. ■ [for THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.] Me. Editor: Sir, having noticed in your paper some time back a proposition of some friend that we select candidates from each political party to fill the bench of our Infe rior Court, I heartily acquiesce in said proposition and proj>ose the names of our worthy citizens Richard Warthen, Joseph Bangs, E. C. Williamson, Jeptha Brantly, and John Bland, as a suitable tieket. LIMESTONE. [for the central GEORGIAN,] Mr. Editor:—In my communication of the 6th inst., I promised at my earliest leis- sure to reply to your correspondent Crab Grass. I now propose to redeem that pledge. He sets out by referring to my position^ that the salts of manures on which plants teed, are dissolved by rain water and filtered off with said water, when there is a redun- dency, in its passage through the strata of the earth. He then says, “here arises a question, where docs it deposit them ? Sure ly notin its passage through the earth, the same element in which it took them up; and yet they are not found in the same ele ment where it runs in to our wells and springs.” Ergo, the salts are not thus removed, if at all. Now Mr. Editor, stick a pin there, for I shall have occasion to refer you to this point before I proceed far. He then goes on to argue, that rain water in its descent on the earth has in it ammonia, and if j ploughed land will absorb five times as! much water as unpioughed, it will of course I take up five times as much ammonia, and it is a fair inference, that he would have the ammonia counter-balance the loss of the salts of manures by filtration, if indeed there should be any, but fails to tell ns how much ammonia we might expect to receive in a fall of one inch of water. This is im aud from what cause? Your correspondent next goes on to dis- cautou the bcuefits of the green crop turn ed iu—the humus formed, &e., &c., closing with his quotation from Dr. Leibog. All of which is very pretty in theory. But it is said that one fret is worth a thousand the ories. Hence I will give one in answer to his theory. Mr. A. being dissatisfied or doubtful of the theory of turning in the green crop, de termined to test the fact. Accordingly he took four acres of land, all laying together, and as nearly equal in fertility as may be ; planted two in peas, and the other two he let grow up in grass, The peas were culti vated, and at maturity one of the acres were ploughed in, the other, was allowed to re main on the land all the winter undisturbed. Also one acre of the grass and weeds was ploughed in at full maturity, while the oth er was allowed to remain undisturbed all the winter as the unpioughed acre of peas. Now agreeable to the theory of Crab Grass these acres that had the green crop plough ed iu should have beat the acre that were not ploughed. But what says Mr. A. the experimenter. He says all four of the acres were prepared the same way next Spring. MEMOBIAL. To the Honorable, the. Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Gear gia. The undersigned, your Memoralists, be ing citizeus of Jefferson county, in the ex ercise of a constituent right, do respectfully present this memorial to your honorable bodies, praying a due consideration of the subject therein alluded to, namely: The Laws regulating the Retail of Spirituous Liquors in this State. The citizens elected to, and constituting members of your Houorable bodies, being selected from the mass of their fellow-citi zens, cannot be unaware of the existence of a wide-spread aud increasing interest in the subject of Temperance. It is a principle pe culiarly characteristic in the social organiza tion of our countrymen, to cultivate benev olence—to cherish aud foster all institutions calculated to raise the standards of morals, and to ameliorate and improve the social condition of mankind. To this end, among many other enlightened means, wise, tal ented, and good men, Lave associated them selves together, that they might more ef fectually, fully, and beneficially, accomplish united, what individual eflbrt, however well directed, would have failed to do. Our country presents a vast number of such as sociations of men, kuown as, and appropri ately designated Temperance Societies.— These Societies are formed Upon the sole principle of discouraging the use of Spirit uous or intoxicating Liquors, as a beverage among their fellow-citizens. The benefits resulting from their past labors are as yet, rather of an individual or local character, but sufficient, however, to hold out the hope of realizing at no distaut day, all the most brilliant anticipations of the ardent minds and benevolent hearts, that have en tered zealously upon this great work- As sociated thus, with no allusion to civil or religious opinions—with no wish to mingle with, or promote political distinctions, your Memorialists are only actuated by an ar- authonzmg the Judges of the Inferior Court of this county, and all other counties desiring the same, to refuse the grantinq of Licenses to Retail Spirituous Liquors in any. District or Districts of the same where the majority of the citizens of the said District or Districts shall make known their desire to that effect by Ballot. Andyour Memorialist will even pray,& c . MHT. Newspapers of the State friendly to he cause, are respectfully desired to publish the foregoing Memorial, that all may judge whether there is anything in it, to which Legislators should object, if the people wish and ask for it.
