At a public meeting in Columbia County, on
Tuesday the 2d insl., the following gentlemen
wore appointed Delegatus to the Commercial
Convention which is to assemble a! this place on
the third Monday in ibis month, viz ; C. 11.
Shockly, James F. Hamilton, Robert Beallc, and
Edward Ballard Esq.
The Editors t>f'Newspapers in Milb-dge-j
vide, Macon and Columbus are either the laziest 1
or ibu most unaccommodatit g set of Editors
upon die face of the earth. They have not for
-1 warded to us lho Ejection Returns of a.- ingle
1 county by Express Mail, except Baldwin and
l Bibb. Wo say this in all kindness, hut we must
confess that it looks very selll-h, ami hope they
will mend their ways. Instead of 20 counties,
■ wo ought to be able to give the returns from SO
in our paper to-day, if the Editors in those places
I had been prompt in sending the returns from the
counties in their neighborhoods as fast as they |
i might have done. We have kept our columns I
open every night until the arrival of the Expre.-s ,
Mail, in the hope of getting something, hut have '
thus far been disappointed.
We copy from the Standard of Union of Tues
day last, the following remarks, on the questions
likely to be agitated, during the approaching ses
sion of the Legislature.
To that part of the article in which the desire j
is expressed to tee the Stale borrow the money' and
complete us soon as possible the groat Kail Koad
which is lo connect us with the Tennessee River,
we yield our hearty and cheerful concurrence and
approbation. We look Howard with deep and
tliiilliug anxiety lo the petiod when the valley of
that noble stream shall bo brought within less than
two day’s travel of Augusta—when the citizens
of that patriotic S ate shall become the constant
visitors lo our market, supplying us with her
flour, her bacon, her corn ami the various
other productions of her fertile lauds, and
receiving in exchange the merchandize of our
commercial cities. We say, lei the State go
ahead with unabated and utirciniltcd zeal, and
pcTsuvctence in this great work, valuable as it is
to her citizens beyond all other works.
On the subject of granting tho credit of the
slate to Kail Koad Companies, to which the Stand
aid expresses its decided opposition, we shall cs
pre-s at this time, no opinion, as it is a subject
which wo have not examined. Wo arc wilting
to hoar and see it discussed with an eye solely to
the public good, and then decide according lo the
convictions of eur judgement.
On the subject of banking, wo too believe that
something should be done, hut wo are not yet
prepared lo say what. We have our doubts about
the New Yotk Banking system. I, is certainly
one by which the ultimate security of the hill
holder ia doubly fortilied, but we cannot see how
it can be a constant specie-paying system, while
the banks ate al owed to issue seven dollars of
paper for one of metal. Wo are thoroughly satisfi
ed however that if Georgia is in earnest in regard
to the importing business, she must increase her t
banking capital very considerably, and as the
time for the meeting of the Convention at this
place is approaching wo propose, between now
and that dine to give our views of tho whole mat
ter more at large.
We have copied tho whole of the remarks of
the -Standard without expressing our agreement
or disagreement lo its positions, but because it
shows a disposition on the part of that press lo
i*i, into tho consideration of those great questions
in which the s ale and the | oople are so deeply
interested, with a desire to di-cuss them calmly,
dispassionately and freely with an eye single to the
public govd, and unconnected with party polities.
Wo trust that such may be Iho spitit and feeling
of the Legislature, and that throwing aside ail
[jetty considerations, the-e questions may ho ap
proached and decided in that manner which may
best advance the honor and interests oi Georgia.
ft on the Slimdatd of Union,
Tho election past, the eye ot the public must
shortly bgturned to the legislature and the inea
-ures which the lepiesentalivcs oi the people,
may. in ilu-ir wisdom, adopt.
The subject of internal improvements being
one of vast magnitude, it may boexpoelbd lo m
gross much of their time and attention. Tho
State is now in the active prosecution of an im
portant wink, which we hope not only lo see
completed in, comparaivcly, a very short lime,
hut which, wo trust, she will still further extend
m an Eastward direction, with all possible dess
patch. We desire to see, ami see it quickly, a
direct Kail Koad route from the Atlantic to the
Tennessee river, and a- much of. that line owned
hy the Stale, as may be practicable, for the ac
complishment of this gland object, let the State
use for credit —let her borrow tho money and
execute the work at once.
To private enterprize, let her afford every fa
cility consistent with the Constitution and the
rights of the citizen, hut let these boundaries ne
ver ho overstepped; but against the u-c of the
Stale’s credit by individuals or corporations, for
private emolument, we do now, as ws have done
before, enter our most solemn protest. We be
lieve, however, the public mind is so well settled
upon the suljcct, that it will henceforth be con
siilercd a reckless act In bring 11-e subject again
before the Legislature—such is the general opin
ion of its partiality and injustice
Upon the subject of Banks and Banking, there
lis a wide held for action. The disas ers of the
lust eighteen months, coupled with the tact, that
a National B ink will not again be incorporated,
should ad nonisli the Stales lo set about a thor
ough reformation in the system of Banking, by
which the peop'c should bo secured against the
circulation of irredeemable and depreciated pain t,
and by which, the value of property, and the price
of labor, will become more uniform and stable.—
T' e effect already produced upon exchange-, is
evidence conclusive, that a well regulated -ystom
of banking, under the exclusive control of the
Sla'e Legislatures, will afford tire mos ample se.
curdy for cheap exchanges and a sound currency.
Tho system of f;ce bonking, as it is cubed,
which inis been a 'op cd by the S ale of New York,
with a few modifications, strikes ns as very far
[irefei-able to any other which has ever been sug
ges ed, and will, we trust, bo token into very seri
ous consideration by the Legislature, and. it adopt
ed, cannot, in our judgement, fail to produce an
auspicious era in the monetary afi'aits of our
country.
In the case of John B Henderson, who had
I been arraigned before tho criminal court of
Washington, for forging Troasuty Notes of the
United S ales, —a notice of which has been here
lofore published,— 'he Court ovi rrulcd all the oh.
jcctioris of his legal counsel and sustained the in
dictment. Tho prisoner was then f-iutid guilty
I and sentenced to pay a fine of filly dollars, and to
suffer lon } ear’s imprisonment at hart! lafmr in
the Penitentiary.

Kail Itj.a.l acting.
In pursuance of a call hy the standing Com
mittee, appoint-’d at a previous meeting, llio (iti
zi’iis met on the 2d Jay ol October, at the Court
House, in Wnynesboio, when Col. Augustus 11.
Anderson was called to tbe Chair, and Joseph \-
Shewniake appointed Secretary.
Major M. Marsh, of the standing ooniniillee,
inaJc the following Report, which was nnatii
mously udop cd.
The standing committee appointed to carry
; into effect the Hesoiu ions of the citizens of Burku
and n.ehmond counties, relative to the construe,
j lion of a Hail Road front Augusta, via Wayncs-
I hero, to intersect the Central Hail Hoad at some
poiftl in Butko county, adopted on tho G.h of
August, ultimo, hog leave tit Report,
That they immediately entered upon the dis
j charge of the duties assigned them, hy o. eating n
j correspondence with the Central Kail Hoad ami
j Hanking Corn) any, Georgia Rail Rond anil Bank-
I ing Company, and tlie City Council of Savannah,
and nlliets likely to take mi interest in the
cnlerprize, and they are happy to say tit it they
have met with warm support. from the Mayor
of llte city of Savannah, they receive 1 an answer
hum which they give die following extract :
“ Your favor of the l it it hist. (August) is Ire.
fore mo. It will afford me pleasure to lay it before
tlie Hoard of Aldermen at ih.'tr next scs-ion.—
The project of a I fail Hoad Imm some point on
the Cen ral Kail Rond to Waynesboro, and thence
to Angus a, is one that cornmenas itself to tho
judgement of all interested in the improvement
of our fella e, and I am sure will have the warmest
wishes of me citizens of this ehy. The immense
debt Savannah has recently incurred for die pur
pose of forwarding the works of Internal Im
provement, may cripple her energies in extending
pecuniary aid to the project, hut rest assured,
that the citizens must feel deeply for the success
of so praiseworthy an enterp ize.”
Tlie correspondence with tlio Central Rail
Hoad and Hanking Company, had for its object
not only the enlistment of its aid, hut to ascertain
as far as prac.icahie, tho terms on which tiro two
Roads could he united; and aithougii the com
notice were fudy aware that no definite terms
could ho agreed upon at this stage of the enter
prize, yet they deemed it ail important to know
the views of the Hoard of Directors of said
Company in relation to this matter. Upon lids
point, the President- of the Company, on the 2()ih
August, ultimo, says! —"On die subject of the
union of the two Roads, and the manner of con
ducting the business, it may not bo possible now
to settle the terms definitively, but each will lie
so much interested in the other, that wo may
look with confidence for harmony of action,—
Either we will receive and return your passenger
and freight eais at tlie point of junction, tliarg
ing for llie distance on our Hoad, or soldo on
other terms, mutually advaniaguuus to both.”
This reply tho committee think satisfactory at
this lime.
The Centra! Rail Road and Banking Com.
tiany, and tho Georgia Rail Road and Hanking
Company, with n degree of liberally that meiiis
the thanks of the friends of die enterprize, have
each promptly come forward to tho aid of die
committee, to make die preliminary survey of die
route
I ho Central Rail Hoad and Hanking Corona,
ny will furnish a party of Engineers free of
sdary—and the Geotgia Rail Road and Hanking
Company will famish an Engineer also, free, of
sa'nry, to make die survey—tlie committee have
accepted these libel til oilers, and I rust that they
will have tho survey executed in time to lay the
report of the Engineers before tho Legislature
and llte public by the 30ih November next. In
addition to the aid famished hy the two Rail
Hoad and Hanking Companies, chain carriers,
axemen and cooks will lie wanted—these ate to
bo provided by the committee, the expense of
which, and the food, provender, &c. of the par
ti , during the survey, will constitute the whole
expense, which as near as tho committee can
estimate, will lie about fit".cen hundred dollars.
Thu foregoing is a statement of the actings of
the committee, which they hope will meet the
approbation of their follow citizens. When i! is
considered that the proposed road will form a
grand connecting link in a chain of flail 11 oath
from ihc far West to the Atlantic Ocean, the
committee believe that it will not only meet the
warm support of every patriotic Georgian, but of ;
every one itricrested in the direct trade of the |
south and south west.
Tlie committee beg leave to offer the following
Resolutions.
Ist. That a committee of Eleven be appointed
to receive the subscriptions.of such individuals '
as may feel disposed to aid in effecting » prelum |
tmiy survey. That the sa ; d committee lie re. ;
quested to proceed forihvvi it in tho discharge of j
lids duly, and so soon as completed, to handover ;
the amounts to tho standing committee.
2d. li cached. That our Senator and Repre

We have received the September number of the

A mitt tin! e- II lorchotllngs aq 1 discouraging proph
ecies of disappoint'd ambition, and the unpalti
| otic movements of selfish politicians, who for their
own pttrpns s,would engondci and keep ali'c sec

! the true patriot, to meet with truths like Ihe fit
1 lowing, and to feel in his heart that the/ uio such.
•-The people always seek their own happiness,
hat the great dottier is that they may ho deficient
in knowledge of the true means of obtaining it,
and'thus sanction measures of injurious and de
structive tendency ; that, they may ho unable to
appreciate justly the qualifications necessary I t
men in public stations; and lints become ti.e vie
lims of selfish demagogues, by placing powet in
the bands of persons who wi.l use it, not lor the
general welfare, but to a Ivance their own inter

safe and beneficial operation ot popular go-em

That wo may retain the good vve have already
achieved, that we may real z.e this glorious vision
ot the future, it is necessary that all men should
iie impressed wilh the conviction of these truths
—that free government is the foundation and bul
wark ol every blessing; and that whilst the suv
creign power is shared hy the whole people, the
principles ol political science should ha studied
and understood by the whole people.
To Parents.
The right education of your children is dearer
to you than any earthly ohjecl ; for a good oiur
cu'ioii is a young n-uni’s besi CO pi t 11. To educate
your children well, is io give them a fair start in
die world—it is to give them un equal chance for
the privileges and honors of manhood.
Let, to keep them from school the most of the
li.no —to furnish them with a miserable, useless
teacher —lodcity them the necessary and die most
approved school hooks—to he unwilling to spend
a little lo procure papers and hooks for general
inf a malion and reading—to do these tilings, or
cither one of these, is lo do your children an in
calculable injury.
You wish ymir children lo he companions ol I
ilio viritieusand the intelligent—then make them
virtu ms and inlcllieeirl ; unless you do this, your
children will he ui lit lor such society as you wish
.lit-m lo keep. You wish your offspring inspect
ed and influential morality and intellect are al
ways respected, and those qualities are always in
fluential 100. You do not wish oilnrs lo trample
upon the rights of your children—you do not
wish others to lead them, to think for tl ein, or
io make ihem more tools tor ambitious ends.
Then give them an education—a mind, ihal’ihcy
may know and keep their tights—dial they may
make lor themselves, and have the privileges ot
freemen. 1 n’orancu is always the vassal, l! c
slave of intelligence. The educated man always
has had, and always will have, the, advanlag ol
ignorance; and if you lei your children grow up
uneducated, you let them grow up to ho the tools
mil trio slaves of ot hors, Y,,u cannot do your
children a grea’or h jury limn to let them step in
to manhood enedu a oil; and in no oilier way can
you do llio-c tiro ins ilnlions n greater evil.
You ought to pm into yoUr children's h inds
every thing that assists or encourages them in
tin it Hludice. Do you hesitate al the expense 1
If you can strengthen one moral feeling, or one
intellectual faculty in your child, you ate well
paid for almost any expense. Wealth will not
make your olf-pring gieal or happy—happine-r
and greatness con ists in virtue and knowledge
