For the Chronicle .J- Sentinel. Augusta Academy 01 Fine Arts. 1 Perhaps no former time has afforded a reason able hope of success in attempting the establish ment, in our be ud.ul and L -o.q erous city, ol an At Mint u of E.nc Arts. There is, however, a tide in the aifd.rs of cities, as well as men, which, I if improved, cannot fail to produce tiie most nappy 1 results; and such, we think, the present moment ■ in regard to tiro enterprise named at 1,.e head of this paper. We wish therefore to coll the alien r Lon oi our good at.neiis to a subject 01 so much I interest. And at tne very onset, wc are aware y that many a reader wdl adow Ins decision to go K ahead „f uis mature rellecttons, and giving way to this want of enterprise relat.ve to new tilings uno improvements, which is too common 111 southern j cities, scale the points in his own m.iid: I. Tutu ■the movement is premature. 3. That the com munity is not ripe for it. 3. Tnat it is a matter, not of dollars and cenle, except inasmuch as it \ will cost them for its establishment. 4. Thai .there is not a sufficiency of talent and taste here •( its maintenance and patronage &c. ; ri i. ). Is the moment premature 1 Augusta is now rapidly striding on in the march of improvement, and is daily becoming more and more, tne admi ratton of the traveller. Tne great and rapid pra gmas in the numlicr, style, durability, &c., of iis improvements, tne greatly increasing demand for hopscs, and the abundantly increased value of real •spile, all tend to declare, plainly it? brighlo |,: prospects. V\ iih its natural advantage, Augusta being central to two populous and wealthy S.ati’: States in whii h every one whow.l. may thrive with two impo. taut railroads, comic ting it by lh.. medium w th the coast, and the rich valley of the | Mississ'ppi and a third one now under survey— ; its s.tuation as a great thoroughfaie for the norll | and south; to all of which, we may add its wate communication, has the fairest pros; c t of doub ling its population within ten or fifteen years. \\ i might aid ninny other advantages and influri c operating or calculated to operate for the prospei s of our city, such as the ii.flucn e of the Sou then Commercial Convention—the prospect of its be coming a port of entry, &e., which arc already lie ' ginning to he felt. Its position on the great fed, ral route from north to south, in connexion with its many commercial advantages above named with the power of its capital, make it now a th iron .hfirc for more passengers than most cities or any other city of two or three times its popula tion. 2. I? the communhy ripe for ill As great a proportion as ever will or can he, until it knows j more about its various benefits from that a quain t.inec whi. h is derivable only from its presence is now ripe for it. II id wo asked the question b. the beginning of this inquiry ‘is it demanded l y the commuifly 1’ Wo might have answered a more ini; ortant inquiry, more d cidedly. If vvi ■ontomplatc the rapid rush of vice and immartaii;-, which any place ol such a population must ruder, • (and which we cons,a ally w.tncss here ) where ehas eand rational entertainment is not accessible. • 11' we contemplate the taste and deposition of ih, community to patronize every thing of the kind which is ode red here -the constant pressure o. I lie desire for the cultivation and entertainment o refined taste, and lire absolute necessity wills k it upon sue community far those things which whil.s; they entertain the feelings innocently and the mind agreeably, lend n i less to the purification o thoughts the exaltation of genius and the per ' lection of usefulness, &e. dee, wo shall at once sec that it is demanded. 3. Is It a matter of pecuniary emolument lo the ommunityl Although this may be considered. •as it really is, its least interest, st.ll with those who hue on it only as a means of pecuniary profit to the city and eoaimun ty, it will, on investigation, he found worthy of ail attention. Certahr'y the erection of a suitable ed ficc will not he without cost; but this in ty be so done as to combine eco nomy with appropriate elegance, at a cost which will make it a profitable stock for the city, or for stockholders. This profit would arise out of the daily and the quarterly or other periodical exhibi tions it would a fiord—the rent of rooms for the . exhibition of valuable specimens from abroad- the rent of ofii cs lo artists for the ] urpnso of la bor or instruction in the various brandies, and it the plan an d location of the building were such, the rent of tenements beneath for other purposes, i'he.sc are the ways in which a most desirable pro fit would arise in money invested by the city, or by stockholders. But the profi s end not here. Every thing which stops money in the city, or ’ whi li causes an influx from abroad, tends to the general good of the city ; and there is no reason wliy.wilhdno entorterprize, this.should not be made : a seat, not only ofcntcrtain:nent,hutof instruction 1 in the fine arts, at least for l. c south. The great South, wantsevery thing—all resources which her citizens may demand as a pro perous ' and enlightened country, w thin her own I in.ts. ’ This is the great secret of lier own independence and her own wealth. Countr esjihe nd vidaals reding in dependence on others, will always be 1 viewed and treated us dependents . The only 3 remedy for su h a servility is to possess ourselves 1 of all the means of supplying the wants of our i own community; especially in those things for 1 which there is not a cash return from abroad. ’ 4. Is there talent for engaging with interest and power in forwarding its purposes and interests I Our city is remarkable for the patronage it has ex tended to several of the most importing brandies -of the fine arts (or a length of lime, and now pre r suits to the public three young and enterprising i artists of the most promising genius, combined with that exalted moral character which is at once the legitimate point and proper accompaniment of their occupation and the assurance of their present and promise of their future worth. These young - gentlemen, (and we feci free to name them, as we - write without their knowledge,) Messrs. Headdcn, i Broadhcnt and Richards, arc all now labouring in • the most successful and satisfactory manner in this > community, to its great benefit and gratification. Their genius promises every thing which might t make them the pride and glory of a community 1 which would surround them with the various ■ means of progressive improvement which our i Academy of F.ne Arts would afihrd. Their na > live powers, with their present progress leave them ) and others such m necessity for visiting, at great i expense of money and time, the s bools of Europe" t if means for their own use and improvement were ‘ assembled here. We arc aware that this sonti - ment may be doubted by some but it will be chiefly ■ those who require to be made ty the force of c.r , cumstances, instead of that power of a per or gc t nius which forces its way to success by its own . native energies. Let those who have not genius, ; but wealth, soar aloft on their fortunes and try' to gain on the exterior, what they are nalurally defi , dent of within. But the Sou'll is rich in native genius, as it is in precious minerals. Tao successes of these interest ng aijjl,^^^ ■ young artists mny be, and vc ' r ’, ” ti . f J | , i our citizens, seen at^- cat gucccss> I , r now occudv,- ... t .a,eet, at which we have only glanced, is 1 f 1 tCM 5- * one of great interest in every point of view. A p ope.- spirit of on crprlsc brought into operation may be looked to for rendering Augusta intimate ly, and at no distant clay, the emporium of the line arts, at least for the South; for the competition is no where formidable in the United States: It may e made the resort of the curious and enlightened, is well as the genius of the land. We leave the subject t us before the community —suggesting only, a location on Broad street, with notable olllc’cs below, or on Green street, with on ly a suitable elevation of one story. / PUBLIC SPIRIT.

The vessels that presented themselves before the ports of the Gulf of Mexico before the notification were warned of; but now that the no tification has been made to your Govei/mieut, and is known in the ports of the Union, it is evident that all vessels that present themselves have the intention to force the blockade, and in such ea:c will be detained until the decision of the Govern ment be known.
