From our Correspondent.
Baltimore, Nov, 9.
The great contest is over, and from every part
of the Empire Slate, the most cheering tidings
come. There is little hazard in declaring that
New-York is with the Whigs in every depart
ment of her representation—Gubernatorial, Con
gressional, and the State Legislature.
The bulletins from the city, give most ani
mated accounts of the campaign. They bring
very vividly before us the whole camp of the Ja
nizaries ; and truly it must have been a deplora
ble spectacle 1 The dispirited infantry—the
broken cavalry—the drunken legion of riotous
auxiliaries—the mutinous ofiicers—the disordered
tents—the whole field strewn with the fragments
of shattered corses and broken armor. The
hurrying to and fro of Government officers—the
j » ’■' movements of General Hoyt, (the collector) and
the clouds of his adjutants despatched in every
direction—the deep-toned and moving appeals of
i ’ Major General Frances Wright Darusmont, to the
i infidel host—the exertions of Major Cambreleng,
. I at the Murine Court manufactory of native Amc-
1 1 meiicans—the terrors of the flying legion of Cro
-X ton watermen, when they found themselves dis
> pr | covered by the Whig spies on the watch for illc
•Si 6 a ' voters—the conduct of Mackenzie, and his
' '"CI Canadian tatterdcmalians who were unable to
I pass themselves off as Americans, because they
I could not speak English, all arc detailed with
t great spirit and power. These movements have
i been of no avail. The constitutionalists have de
[ seated the spoilsmen in the very field of their
IB length.
II Our Whig brethren in New-York, and through

We copy the following remarks in relation to
movements, men and matters at Milledgeviile
from the Correspondence of the Constitutionalist
of yesterday morning.
MitLr.nnr.viLtE, Nov. 13.
Now that the elections arc over, and the ex
citement they naturally produce has subsided, the
Legislature will proceed to the important business
of the session. The most important subject which
seems to engross all minds, is that of internal
improvement, not internal improvement as here
tofore, embracing a few appropriations for rivers,
creeks, and common roads, but internal improve
ment embracing the construction of rail roads
and canals at an expense of millions of dollars.—
The subject, as it is now considered, is of vast
importance to the State, and may, by the action
of the Legislature upon it, be productive of results
the most ruinous or of lasting benefit to the state.
The subject then should be approached with
much caution; and the future welfare of the peo
ple of Georgia requires that prudence should pre
side at the deliberations of our legislators, and that
the plan they may adopt should have a solid foun
dation. But lam afraid nothing of the kind is
in contemplation. Those interested in the con
struction of rail roads appear to care very little
for the prosperity and future welfare of the whole
State, provided their particular interest can be
promoted. Provided they can obtain the credit
of the State, they have no feeling for the losses
that may be incurred by the public. And lam
sorry to find that a system of log rolling is now
in progress to insure a majority in the legislature
in favor of pledging the credit of the State to an
unlimited extent. It is to be hoped, however,
that there will bo virtue independence and patri
otism enough inlho Legislature to withstand the
allurements of anticipated wealth, so much pro
mised by the leaders of a phalanx not to be de
spised on account of their talents and influence.
I have been, and am still, a warm friend of inter
nal improvements. lam in favor of the State
pledging its credit for rail roods and canals; but
of such rail roads and canals which arc ascertain
ed to be needed, and to comport with the popula
tion and resources of the State, as they now
stand. I must oppose all rail roads and canals
in sections of the State where nothing is to be
seen but wilderness, and where the incomes of
such improvements would not pay for their re
pair. It will be much better for the legislature
to do nothing, than to adopt a system of internal
improvements, which may ruin the State, though
it might enrich a few individuals. I have made
an estimate, from the information I have been
enabled to obtain, of the amount which several
rail road companies would require, and obtain if
the log-rolling system lie sanctioned by the legis
lature; and this amount would be near ten mil
lions of dollars, exclusive of the amount neces
sary to complete the State rail-road to its termina
tion on the Chattahoochee. Let a prudent course
be pursued by the legislature, and a wise distri
bution of the credit of the State be made, and the
people will be satisfied ; but let extravagance pre
side over the action of the legislature, and an in
discriminate and unlimited pledge of the credit of
the State be given, the people will curse those
who will have been most instrumental in pro
ducing injury and ruin to the State.
In the Senate this morning, the following stand
ing committee were announced;
State of the Republic. —Messrs. Branham,
Billups, Echols, King, and Gordon.
Judiciary. —Messrs. Miller, Bailey, Alexander,
Floyd, and Holmes.

Several important hills were introduced this
morning in the Senate, namely:
By Mr. Jones of Paulding, to give the people
the election of judges of the superior courts, so
licitors, and generals.
By Mr. Springer, to prevent frauds at elections,
&c. and to divide the stale into Congressional
districts.
The bill to reduce the fees on grants in the late
gold and land lotteries, was lust in the Senate
this morning.
The bill for the organization of a Supreme
Court for the correction of errors, was taken up
this morning in the Senate, and read a second
tin e. On the question to commit or engross the
bill lor a third reading, Mr. Cone of Bulloch mo
ved to commit it to the Ist of June. On this
motion the yeas and nays were called. 'Flic yeas
were 23, the nays 59.
A resolution was adopted this morning in the
House to furnish arms to the Clinch Kitlciacn of
Augusta.
'Flic committee appointed agreeably to a reso
lution of the last legislature, to investigate the
affairs of the Central Bank, made a report, of
which 500 copies were ordered to be printed. As
soon as I can procure a copy I shall send it for pub
lication : the subject is of general interest.
The convention miscalled “ Commercial,” after
organizing, directed the appointment of a com
mittee of 21, to report business. The convention
met last night, and the President announced the
1 names of those who were to compose the commit-
100, of which Mr. Chappell of Macon is Chair
man. Tiie convention will moot to-night to re
ceive the report of the committee.
The Convention which assembled at Augusta
waste have linen rstvnl hilly a Commercial Con
vention, for the purpose of devising means and
plana for a direct intercourse with foreign nations.
At the last Convention in Augusta, State Con
ventions were recommended to he held for the
same views and the same purposes. Will the
State Convention, now assembled at this place,
confine itself to the same views and the same pur
poses? From certain circumstances which have
already taken place in the Convention, I am led
to believe, that direct importations will lie set
aside, and the object of the Convention directed to
banks and internal improvements, to the policy
of pledging the credit of the State for rail roads
and canals. If this course he pursued,—and I
am afraid that it will, —no beneficial result will be
produced by the meeting of the Convention : it
will he a complete failure. It is to lie hoped,
however, ns there are men of talents and influence
in this Convention, that they will he able to give
to tho proceedings that direction for which it was
recommended to meet. I shall endeavor to pro
cure a copy of the report of tnc Committee of 21,
expected to be made to-night.
Mormon War.
The St. Louis slips of the 2d instant, repre
sent tho Mormon War as actually commenced,
which will doubtless end in the complete extermi
nation of these unfortunate enthusiasts. The
following slip is from the St. Louis Bulletin:
“ Further Outrages —The people of the north
western part of Missouri, are now in the midst
of cival war, and wo believe it will never end,
until every Mormon is exterminated or driven
from the land. We have the following alarming
intelligence by a slip from the office of the Mis
souri W'alchmau.
From Ihe Missouri Watchman , Oct, 29.
C/JTT OF JCFFERSO V, Oct. 29.
We have been requested by the Governor, to
publish an extra of our paper, giving to the pub
lic. the intelligence which ho, on yesterday, re
ceived in relation to tho Mormon difficulties. Wc
arc also informed that a force of three thousand
men have been ordered to he raised and to march
immediately to the aid of the sulfering inhabi
tants. The outrages of tho Mormons, are of a
character never before witnessed in a civilized
country. They have now placed themselves in
an altitude of open dolhmco of the laws of the
land. The contents of the letters published be
low shows, that they have driven the inhabitants
of Davies county, from their homes—pillaged and
burnt their dwellings, driven off their cattle, and
have taken the lives of our people. They will
now he dealt with as enemies, and as traitors to
the country.

From Kf.y West. — Wc have received tho
Key West Floridian of the 20th and 27th of Oc
tober. There had been a rejoicing at the result
of an election in Key West, and a dinner, at
which both the victors and the vanquished sat
down in good fellowship together. Dut what the
election was for, or which party was victorious,
wc cannot for our lives discover !
The schooner Florida, Capt. Marshall, had ar
rived at Key West, with intelligence that the
1 schooner Comet, of Harwich, was on shore at
1 Capo Canavrel, and had been stripped of her car
go and every thing that was valuable on hoard.—
On the 12th, saw a string of Indian fires, fifteen
miles to the North of Cape Flo.ida light house.
Tho captain landed with eight men, and found 20
or 30 half finished canoes; wont aboard, again,
saw two Indians in the trees, fired at them, and
; brought one of them down. It is thought they
arc pretty plentiful in that vicinity.

To W. W. Gonnojf, lisa. PraiiUyit,
Sir. —Nearly six. months have elapsed since
the date of my last report, and as you arc about
to leave the city to he absent some weeks, I have .
the honor to present you the semi-annual report
of the operations of this department, and the pre
sent condition to the work.
The entire route, hence to the city of Macon,
although not definitely located, has been so far
determined as can bo done by experimental sur
veys. A particular description of the line, ns
then located to the point where it passes the
Ogecheo river, was given in the report of the 10th
of May last. From that point, it follows the val
ley of Williamson's swamp, and crosses that stream
irei v the “Double bridgesthen taking the south
ernmost of the two southern prongs, ascends to
the summit of the ridge separating the. waters of
the Ogochce from those to the Oconee, which
ridge ii crosses about two miles and a half south
of the village of Bamlcrsvillo.
An examination was made of the valley of
Limestone creek, with a view of making the as
cent bjf that stream; hut although vve should
have saved about •} of a mile in distance by that
route, the lino would have been objectionable,
both in allignmcut and grades, which latter would
have been undulating, and have frequently reach
ed our maximum vale ofmclinalion, while on the
line adopted, wo have a regular and gentle ascent
to the summit. Having parsed the summit, vve
avail ourselves of the valley of a prong of the
head branches of the Ohoopec for a short distance;
this takes us to the head of Sand Hill Creek, by
which we descend to the Oconee river. The line
down Band Hill, crosses several deep ravines,
and cuts off points of hill, involving a succession
of heavy excavations and embankments,rendering
this part 1 1 the grading more expensive than the
general average. The distance of this heavy
w ork, however, is only about live miles, and will
probably sot exceed air average of $20,000 per
mile.
We reneh the Oconee river near a spot railed
“Rag-poin:,” about three miles above the mouth
of Commissioners’ Creek, and sixteen or seven
teen miles below Milledgoville. The River
Swamp is hero about one mile wide on the east
mid two miles on the west side—for this distance
it will he most safe and economical to support
tiro grade, by strong truss trod;; and if hereafter
it should he deemed expedient to substitute an
embankment through the whole or any part of
the swamp, the ro.td will aflbrd the means of do
ing it at comparatively a small cost. The river
will he crossed by a bridge 200 feet in length,
supported by stone abutments and a pier in the
centre.
The line having passed the river, follows the
valley of Commissioners’ Creek, which affords a
very favorable route. The foundation in the
Creek Swamp wherever we touch it, is firm
The line may lie located with very easy grades
and gentle curves, for the distance of twenty-sov
en miles up this creek ; at this point and thence to
the summit, (5 miles) the country is similar to
that described on Sand Hill Creek. Wo pass
the summit dividing the waters of the Oconee
from those of the Ocmulgce, at a point B,', miles
from the city of Macon, on thoMilledgcvillcroad.
Taking a branch of Walnut Crc k, wo here
commence our descent to the Ocmulgce, which is
cll'cctcd by following the valley of this stream.
The ground is so broken and hilly in this re
gion, that our lino is confined to the incanderings
of the stream, and consequently varies consider
ably from a direct course, the curvatures howev
er arc generally easy—in no ease on a radius of
less than 2000 feet. From the summit to the
Ocmulgce, wo again have an expensive section
similar to that down Band Hill Creek—making
altogether about 2.0 miles of what may he termed
(in comparison with the portions of our road now
graded,) heavy work. This is no more than we
have always expected—and when we look abroad
and find that the average, cost per mile of the
graduation of most of the roads in the United
Stales, far exceeds that of our most expensive
sections, wo have reason at least to bo satisfied
with the natural advantages which the country
affords for the prosecution of our enterprise.
The total distance from the city of Savannah
to the city of Macon by our lino, as above des
cribed is 1!)C miles. Only 113 miles however
being definitely located, there will probably in
the remaining portion he some reduction of dis
tance, occasioned by substituting curves for angle s,
and making slight changes and improvements in
flic experimental lines.
»#»*»•»
It was believed by many individuals of respec
tability, residing in Tviilledgcvillc and its vicinity,
t at our road might cross the Oconee river within
a short distance of that place, not only without
any material increase of distance, or cost, hut with
great advantage to the interests of the company
as well as benefit to that section of country ; and
the Board ol Directors lining desirous that an ex
amination should he made to ascertain whether
any advantage would result to the company from
such a location, an exploration and iustrumciit.il
survey was accordingly made with that object.
The resell was an increase of twelve mile:;,
and us the point of divergence from the Commis
sioners’ Creek line was above the most favorable
portions of that line, and the route thence to the
mouth of Camp creek being through a very un
favorable country for a rail road, we should, in
addition to the increase of distance, exchange
twenty miles of very favorable lino, for the same
distance of very expensive, making nearly tiro
whole distance from Macon to the Oconee, heavy
and costly work.
The comparison would stand thus :
Il f the Commissioners’ Creek line.
From the point of divergence to the
Oconee swamp, 20 miles of grading
at $4OOO, $BO,OOO
Crossing the Oconee swamp three
miles, $lO,OOO, 30,000
Bridge over the Oconee river, 20,000
Total, $130,000
Il f the Camp Creel:, Han.
From the point of divergence to the
mouth of Camp creek, 20 miles of
grading at $25,000, $500,000
Bridge over the Oconee 30,000
15 miles of grading down the north
side ol tho Oconee, at ;>4ooo, 00,000
$580,000
Difference in cost in favor of the
Commissioners’ Crock route, $450,000
To sum up the comparison of the two routes,
wo have in favor of the Commissioners’ Crock
line,
Ist. An advantage of 12 miles in distance,
2d. A difference of nearly Half a Mi'lien e(
Dollar in cert
Oil. Ail advantage of a gentle ami nearly uni
form grmlo down Commissioners’ Creek, while
on Uioother lino wo arc ohligi il In undulato to
tho extent of ourma.ximum rale of inclination,
for nearly the whole distance.
4lh. Hy taking (he Camp Creek route, we
.should violate a provision of our charter, which
requires us to pursue the shortcut t pruciictihle
rmlrfroin Saronnah to Macon,
It may he proper here to mention, that the
country on the east aide of the Oconee nllhrds a
most favorable, route for the construction of a
Hail Hoad from Milledgeville to our line. The
grade would he almost one uniform inclination,
and the low landshorderingon the <JconcoHwamp
would require hut little excavation and embank*
Hunt to form tho road lied.
The grading of our read is now under con
tract to a point 112 miles from the depot in (his
city, and the contractors are hound to complete
t to that point hy the first of March next.
The timber for the superstructure is laid for
the distance of 55 miles, and progressing at the
rate of five miles per month.
The iron is laid and tho road completed 40
miles. Our engines now run daily with the
Macon mail and passengers to that point.
The bridge over the Little Ogcchec is finished,
and the grading, including most of tho bridges
and culverts, done, fur a distance of TO miles.
The force now employed on the line is about
500 men, and (lie contractors arc daily augment
ing their forces, so that we, shall probably in a
short time have three times the present number.
Il is worthy of remark, that there has not been
a contract relinquished or abandoned, since the
commencement of the work.
We have commenced the erection of the ma
chine shops at tho depot i:i this city, which are
to he of brick, and on a scale suited to the mag
nitude of the eiilorpri/.0.
A further distance of fifteen miles of grading
is advertised for letting on the Ist of December,
which will extend our work 127 miles from this
city.
1 have often been asked the question, “ why do
not the company commence work on the upper
end of tho line7” Hindi a desire no douhl esislti
with many persons deeply interested in the suc
cess of the undertaking, residing in that part of
the country : hut it is presumed (hey arc not
aware of the dilllculties attending such a course.
If our operations, which are at present widely
extended, were no far enlarged as to embrace any
portion of tho further extremity of the road, a
separate establishment and organir.alion of su
pervision and superintendence would he unavoida
ble, The engineer corps would require to ho in
creased, and whatever work might be clone, would
not only ho unproductive of profit to the company,
hut the excavations and embankments being ex
posed to the weather, would by washing, deterio
rate 8 or 10 per cent, before they could he brought
into use. It will not for a moment 1.,- supposed
that it would he expedient to haul tho iron for
tho tracks in wagons, or even ship it v'u Darien
for Macon ; such a course would add greatly to
the cost without any equivalent benefit. 15y our
present arrangement, the iron and other materials,
as also most of the supplies to contractors are.
carried forward hy our locomotive engines, and
tho freight and passage money collected, not only
1 defrays the expense of this transportation, hut al

establishment at the depot in (his city.
'/'he advantages of keeping up a communica
tion Irani (his end of the line a*; we advance with
the work, and of finishing the work emitimmu.-dy,
I am persuaded will strike any one who w ill take
tho (rouble of reflecting on the subject.
■ 1 had intended to present you an estimate ot
the cost of the whole rea l in (his report, hut tho
time since the completion of the explorations and
surveys determining tho western end of the line,
lias been so short, that the ne.acaary computa
tions for a careful estimate could not ho made.
These surveys, however, have not developed any
facts leading me to believe, the work will cost
more than the original estimate made by Col,
Crugcr, which you will recollect was a little over
two millions of dollars,
Tho surveys detailed in tho report, of the line
passing near Milledgeville, arc also laid down in

have the plea are to ant.ounco to the public, flint
their Academies tiro in (.lie most /iom idling cou.iil ion
and present to tiic public the most inviting induee
ini id 1 for Hie education ofyoulh.
’I he male department is under (he ehar'c of Au
gielus Alden, A. M.,tlio «nl J let tor, who will
have an able assistant for the Engii-li department.
Mr. Alden is known as one of the most successful
ti.nelins ia this state; bis time during the ensuing
year will be devote.l la the higher branches) of the
da; ics, Mathematic s and (‘rutory.
Oui female .'.eiswl ban s ucceeded beyond cur most
sanguine expectations. We consider our in.dilution
interior to none in the South'lll coup try. Professor
Pierce, assisted by Miss White and others, have
charge of the Literary department. Their success
during the present year, wo consider a sufficient
gnara .tec for an opportunity of obtaining in the
•Wadi on Female /.ladcmy a Lni hed education in
all the higher and mb; tan; il branches of literary
knowledge. Mr. Daniel Chan, Professor of Vocal
and In t rumen tal Mm ic, having secured a competent
(resistant, will lie enabled to give the utmost satis
faction in liis department. Such has been the num
ber of pupils during the present year wishing musi
cal instruction, that hecould not accommodate them
all; this will be now obviated, and his entire atten-
Poit to this dcpailmcnt will be given, llis reputa
tion is firmly established.
Cur village is quite healthy'. Hoard can he ob
tained in tiie most respectable families at moderate
rates.
The tuition fees are placed upon fair grounds.—
VVc believe they are lower than at several in dilu
tions in our Stale, where opportunities for education
arc not as good.
