To thr Honorable Smote and House of lit present atm sos the State of tit or "ia. Gentlemen :—The Commissioners ap pointed by his Excellency the Governor, in conformity with a Resolution ot your body of the 17th December, ‘ To go and examine t lie commercial advantages oltlie Port of Brunswick and tlie Rail-road avenue to the Altamaha, and report tin ic on upon oath, whether or not it would be advisable for the State to render any aid in opening Brunswick to tnc interior, proceeded early in the month ol Junelast to execute the duties of their commission, and beg leave to submit the following Report. The town of Brunswick is situated on the north branch or arm of Turtle river, near the centre of our sea coast, about eight miles from St. Simons light house, just above the 31st degree ot north lati tude, in the comity of Glynn, about 13 miles from St. Simons bar. The site ol the town is aheautiiul blufi of close sand, the soil is perfectly dry and very eligible for a large city, being elevated from S to 12 feet above high \vat«*r, and extending itself up and down the river lor upwards of two miles, affording a delightful situa tion for a town of the largest extent. — The beautv of its location—its splendid river, and circumjacent islands, make it altogether the handsomest site we have seen on our coast lor the erection ot a commercial emporium and naval depot. — Though this splendid sheet ol water is called Turtle river, vet, from its width, its great depth and its length, it may more properly he called an inlet or arm of the sea, which extends about 2ft or 23 miles into the interior. The entrance from the ocean is between St. Simons Island on the north, and Jekvi Island on the south. This inlet between the islands is,about a mile in width. The bar over which ships enter t from the ocean, is about five miles from -he light house on the south of St. Simons, and is, from all that we can learn, the best and the safest on the southern coast, with the exception perhaps o*f Norfolk in Vir ginia. Besides having had access to the report of a survey made by Lieut. Stock ton, under the authority of the United States, we took soundings ourselves under the pilotage of experienced men who had been many years well acquainted with the coast, and especially with St. Simons bar. The experienced olhcer who made the survey alluded to, has set down the aver age depth of the bar at 1G lhet at dead ' r.v water, and ascertained the rise of the lido to be, on an average, about G feet, giving 22 feet at high water: stating at the same time tint he was not satisfied that he had found the. Irr-si w ater. The object of Congress in ordering this stirvev having lieen tilt* establishment of a naval depot on Turtle river, it he pre sumed tiiat the officer made this report | with a view to the strict safety of our ships ! of war, and therefore preferred being rut h jer under than over the depth of water. — \\ e draw this conclusion from the fact, j that we found the soundings on the bar to he generally about IS feet at as near low water as we could judge; our shallowest | sounding was 17 feet, but we found more ! water on the same track. As we found Stockton's report very accurate in every respect, and as he bad spent some time in the survey, we conclude that the water on the bar may be set down at from 1G to i7 feet at low wafer, aijd 22 to 23 at high i water—striking at a medium between his survey and our soundings. The pilots and coasting captains on hoard the vessel i we employed in this service seemed to be !of opinion that there was still deeper wa iter, as they stated that they would risk | their nautical skill and reputation, in un j dertaking to bring the largest class of mer chant ships trading to the south, across [this liar at anytime of tide. An experienc ed pilot, w hose services wc had engaged, j assured us that lie had been intimately ac quainted with this bar for about twenty three years, and that its breadth and depth had not varied the least in that time. \Ye judge the extent of the bar, across it, to be about a quarter of a mile, and from half to three quarters in width, between the north and south breakers, to be navigable for large vessel. One of the great excellen cies of the bar is, that ships can pass over . it in a direct course with a favorable wind, ■ : and if the wind should be ahead, she has | a plenty of room for beating up. Mr. i King, the intelligent and enlightened Sen ator of Glynn, who lives immediately on St. Simons Sound, assured us, that it was by no means a rare occurrence for ships of i heavy burden, entirely unacquainted with , the bar, and without a pilot, to put into ‘ j the sound in stress of weather for safety, I and that this is done at night as well as in (lav. This we consider as the most con j elusive evidence of the superior execl j lence and perfect safety of this bar, and the protection afforded to ships that run into j the sound in bad weather. Os the entire S safety and excellence of this bar for the navigation of ships, drawing from 20 to 2J 1 feet of water, we can therefore speak in j terms of the highest approbation. W e account for the unvarying depth of 1 this bar, from the great body of water | which at every ebb tide sets out of Turtle* ; river to the ocean. In coming in from ' sea, immediately after crossing the bar, j the soundings gave us from five to ten ' fathoms, and this depth was retained with ; but little variation, till we reached within half or three quarters of a mile of Bruns wick. We are informed by navigators, j that the river continues unusually deep, almost to its source. From these facts, ! we conclude that the bar will always retain its present depth, for there is no cause vis ible to us, or to he drawn by inference from the character of the river, to produce any variations in the tide or changes in the bar. In the most of our other rivers which ; penetrate into the mountainous country of : the interior, the great inundations fre quently happening carry down immense ! quantities of sand and illuvial soil, which ! are continually shifting the channel, and | affecting the depth and location of the nav igable waters, where they empty into the ! ocean. Hence it is, that there is so much | danger, delay and expense attending the ascent to our other sea ports. V> e think we may confidently say,that 1 lie bountiful j hand ol’nnture lias entirely exempted the port of Brunswick and its noble stream, and will continue in all future time to cx ! ompt them, from these dilliculties and ob structions to their navigation, j When you approach w ithin half a mile ! of the town, there is a smail salt marsh isl ! and which di\ ides the, river into the north -1 orn and eastern brandies, the main chan nel running southward of this island. Be tween Brandy Point on this island, and Dennis's Folly on the Brunswick shore, there is an inner liar, upon which there is ; about twelve feet at low water, and, as the tide rises ten feet, it gives the same depth of water that we find on the outer bar, with Aliis advantage, that the bottom being soft mud creates no damage to ships and may be very easily deepened if it were nccossa | rv. But no such necessity exists, as tiny j ship that crosses the outer bar can run i over this at high water, and find the best j anchorage near the bluff along the whole . extent of the town, in from tinnty to forty feet water at the lowest time ol tide. This we ascertained from careful soundings at low water, and after having finished tire soundings for ourselves, ascertained that Stockton's report and diagrams confirmed ] onr own survey. From the fact that wc crossed the outer bar thirteen miles from town, and beat up against a very light breeze to Brunswick in about three hours, we can state safely, that a vessel may pass in or out, from the bar to the town, with the wind from any direc tion. and with a lair good breeze, can 1 reach the wharves,’ and get to sea from tin i, in less than two hours Tile width ol tlif n' crniul the channel affords ail op portunity lor making long tack®,which are verv desirable in beating up or down a riv- ERUEfsiyxcii, F'SOE.bizse’g, june is, ies7. er or strait. The vessel once in port, we | consider her entirely sheltered from any j gale or storm, short of the most violent hurricane or tornado, such as would be j dangerous on the land as well as on tile j water. The harbor is completely land- j lurked iiy a beautiful cresent or semi-circle of islands, stretching along the southern branch of tin* riier, and preventing the; heavy swell oftlic ocean from affecting the j water in the harbor. In addition to this,; ail extensive salt marsh stretches along to | the east of Brunswick, which also acts as a protection from heavy swells in the sound ] and the ocean. The course of the river it- 1 self turning nearly south immediately around the north point of Jekvi. w ith that j island on the south and the Brunswick i promontory on the north, acts as a protec-1 tion to the port ; the river making a sud den turn towards Brunswick at a point of high ground known as Dennis’s Folly.— Ail this will be more apparent to your hon orable body by a reference to a map of Brunswick, its port, its environs, and the position and course of the rail-road, which we have ordered to he carefully drafted, after a very correct model, (w ith a few al terations indicated by us) by the countv surveyor, to be submitted as a part of this J report. In the southern and principal branch of the river is the outer harbor. In this har bor, the w hole navy of our country might ride, with perfect safety, in seven fathoms! water, and moor w it bin a mile of the town.! In regard to health, we consider Bruns wick superior to any sea port on the south- ] cm coast. Its high and dry bluff, the to tal bsouce ol laguncs, swamps of stagnant fresh water and rice fields—its broad sheet ol clear ocean water, almost as salt as the sea, and its pure sea breeze setting in reg ular! v from the ocean, make it not only a delightful situation in summer, (as we ex perienced it to ho,) but give the strongest assurance of the health and comfort of sea men and navigators, and of the inhabitants of the town. We found wells of water as good as could be expected in so low a lati tude. Though not very cool, we believe it to he pure, and that which wc found in town was better than the wells in the im mediate vicinity. The extensive salt marshes are overflowed at every tide with pure salt water, and art* not considered at ail injurious to health. The sea breeze sweeps delitrlitfullv over them, and we found some of the most healthy families in the vicinity living immediately upon their edge. Brunswick may he so protected by for tifications as to become entirely inaccessi ble to anv naval force that might attempt to approach it. The inlet between St. Simons and Jekvi Island being hut a mile wide, might he defended by forts on both sides, so as to cut oil' any naval armament that might attempt to enter it. Should an enemy's ship succeed in passing this strait, there are other points for defence, on Cedar hammock, the firm marslr on the opposite side, on Dennis’s Folly, and on Brandy Point—all well calculated for the strongest and most elfectual fortifica tions. Whether, therefore, we regard the “commercial advantages of the port of Brunswick,” in reference to the water on the bar and in the river, —in reference to the short time in which a ship of large draft may sail in or out of port, against or with the wind, —in reference to tlu* excel lence of the anchorage in port, and her en tire safety from storms while there, — whether we view them in reference to the health, convenience and beauty of locali ty ; or in reference to their capability of being made impregnable to an enemy; your Commissioners regard them as of a very superior order ; and with this opinion, formed from accurate inspection and per sonal examination, we feel constrained to sav, that it is highly “advisablefor thr slate to /■•■ lidcr aid ft o/nnin g Urunnriek to the interior;" and this aid ought, for the ben efit of the state and its inhabitants, to be ri ndored r ffit it nth/ and promptly. j Os the “rail-road avenue to the Alta -1 malia,” we can speak in terms equally unequivocal and equally lnvorablc. The distance of this avenue is but eleven miles and a few chains from river to river. I 'rom the Altamaha swamp to the bluff at Brunswick, its location is as fine and beau tiful for such ail improvement as can be found in any part ol tlie Union. Its course is over a campaign country, so level that its inequalities arc scarcely perceptible to the naked eye. It lies over a pine barren flat, of dose, compact, sandy foundation from river to river, and when once com pleted and settled, the Commissioners are . of opinion that it will he as firm and hard, and as well adapted to rail-road operations, and as little liable to injury from any causes as could he selected in the state. — There is but one curve in the whole route, and that very gradual, to avoid the point of a bay swamp, which would have increased t'ac labor and expense to have run through it. From this curve, a shade tree of ordinary height, on the bluff at Brunswick, is distinctly visible to the naked eve, along the avenue, at the dis tance of' eight miles or upwards: and it will require but little additional labor and ‘•HE A R M E FOR M Y CAU S E skill to render the foundation, now almost completed, a dead level the entire dis tance from the Altamaha to Brunswick. This foundation has been thrown up by the superintendent, with a becoming re gard to the public service, and in a style which does credit to his skill and indus try. As far as completed, it is a road of the first order for horses and carriages, and is daily becoming firmer and better from use. About the •middle of June, 1 when we examined it, the foundation was thrown up about two thirds of the wav, j the avenue cut the whole distance, and the superintendent expected to complete it in two or three months. Nothing will then remain to be done, but to prepare it for the reception of the rails. In the im- , mediate vicinity oftlic entire route, there j is an abundance of the best cypress and j live oak for the wood work. The lieav- 1 icst job in its completion w ill lie the jimc- j tion of the rail-road with the Altamaha, 1 though this is by no means a serious one. ! It may be united either with the rail-road! creek, or with the river it-elf, or with Six mile creek ; the latter we think the most eligible, as this creek is wide and deep i enough for up country boats, and enters the river in a deep bight, which renders it very convenient for boats to enter. In i either route, the distance will be rather over half.a mile, and may be either exca vated to the line bluff by a canal and ba sin, or the road he extended through the swamp, which is there a rice field in cul tivation. Before it enters the ocean, the ,flt amahadivides itself into four brunches; ; on the outhern branch, which from exam ination and information we found to be tin: deepest and best for navigating boats, the rail-road w ill end. As to the co>t ofthis work, we have only such data as will enable us to approximate a reasonable estimate. We have address ed the Agent of the Charleston rail-road, lor accurate information from experience, j hut not having received an answer, we deem it our duty not to delay our report, as these matters are within the reach of every member of your body ; and tin* dis tance is so small as not to make the cost n matter of great moment. We understand that the li st estimate ot the Charleston rail-road was3,IKK) per mile, and that the actual cost lias been found to fall short of the estimate. As the location of the route j for the Brunswick rail-mail is so favorable, j and as the foundation w ill soon be com j pleted by the public hands, we should think it would he a safe calculation to set ; down the utmost cost at •'*3,000 per mile, including labor already bestowed bv the ■ hands, or that it could not exceed from j *30,000 to >70,000, including the cost of j the labor, materials, engine, cars and ware j houses. We think this a high limit for the ■ cost, but that it would he a trifling sum | compared with the immense advantages • that would result to the State from tin* completion of the work, even should the State a.-sumc the entire expense; but this will not bo necessary, as individuals have already subscribed for stock. The distance from the Altamaha to Brunswick, and vice versa, may he prr : formed with ease bv the engine and loaded i cars in one hour. By a proper construc tion of the etuis of the route, a boat load of ! cotton might he soon placed into the cars, and he taken to BfiiiiSwick in one trip, j while other cars might fie ready to return | immediately with freight of merchandize for the boat. In this way hut little delay would be occasioned. We consider this ! process much cheaper and more expedi tious than loading a boat bv dravs from j one of our warehouses at run distance from the boat landing. Ashy the charter not * more than tin nty-fivr per cent, can be ! demanded for any one year upon the a mouiv.of capital invested, should the pro -1 ject succeed, the cost oftransportion would ; not probable exceed from 12 1-2 to 23 j cents per bale upon cotton, and so in pro- I portion for goods—for wo believe that all j the cotton-growing country in reach of the ; Oconee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha, would igo to Brunswick. We are therefore of ; opinion, that the great advantages to be derived from this work, by the extensive region of fertile territorv, and the dense, industrious and growing population that trade and will be induced to trade upon those rivers, render it advisable* for the State to give prompt and efficient aid in completing this rail-road, so as to connect Brunswick with the interior oftlie State. Perhaps the letter of our duty is dis charged in givingthese facts, and the opin ions founded upon them. But wc feel, in common with our fellow-citizens, so strongly the great importance of building upon our sea coast a commercial town, for the sale and exportation of our products, and the importation of those supplies of merchandize yearly consumed among us, and now essential to our prosperity and comfort, that we believe a more extensive view of this important subject to fall within the range of our official functions. Indeed we should consider our commission but half accomplished, did we fail, at this mo mentous crisis ofour commercial relations, to spread before your body those powerful considerations that form the very basis of i the opinions we have already submitted. | Our state is second to but one or two of lu*r sister States, in her internal wealth and resources. Possessing almost every variety of soil and climate from the moun tains to the sea coast, with corresponding varieties of mineral, vegetable and agricul tural wealth, she may vie in these respects w ith the most favored States, of the most highly favored nation upon the earth. All that our people have to do, to place us bv the side of Ohio, Pennsylvania and N. York in internal improvements, is to arouse from our torpor, and direct our energies aright. Your Commissioners can say, upon the solemn appeal they have made, in submit ting this report, that they do not believe that there is in .the United States, so small a work of internal improvement as the con templated rail-road, fraught with conse quences so important and so beneficial to the same extent of country and the same amount of active and industrious popula tion. Th<* first and mo: t important inquiry for tiie people ofGeorgia is: Have wc within our own State, an outfit for our immensely valuable productions, and an inlet for the foreign necessaries and luxuries of life, that may be made to vie with the large sea ports in other States ? that may enable us; to command the /tight st /triers for [\wfor tnrr, and obtain the la!It r at the tin attest rate to the planter and the farmer ? Your Commissioners do not hesitate to answer this question for the people of Georgia in ill:* Affirmative. In the town of Brunsw i<*k, properly connected with the interior, we con!,! have a commercial emporium that might rival any on the Atlantic const, south of Baltimore. The only obstacle now ex isting to t lie connexion ofthis noble port with the heart of Georgia, and with the great wealth and the densest population of the State, is the narrow slip of land, of lit tle over eleven miles, between Turtle river and the Altamaha: and this obstacle, we ■ have already stated, can, in our opinion, he ! overcome by the trifling sum of from >3ft,- tK>O to $?U,(I00. But suppose it should I cost > l Oft.01)0, the expenditure is a trifle in comparison w ith the immense advantages it would yield, not only to the Treasury of i the State, hut to the great body of the peo ple. I The next question is: How is the itn portanrr of opening the Port of llrtms \ trick, to he demonstratedl The answer is 1 ready, and the various considerations rm ; nccted with it, oftlic most momentous im portance to the prosperity and indepen dence of the State. But look at the map jof your State, and it will be seen bv a sin gle glance of the eye, that our noble rivers the Oconee, the Ocmulgee and the Aita -1 tnalia, penetrate the very heart of the State from the ocean to the Mountains. On these rivers and th'.*ir tributaries, and with | in tin* range of their trade and influence, will be si a ii nearly half the number of our I counties, containing the richest soil, and ! yielding the most extensive supplies of cot ton, corn, sugar, flour, rice, stock and I lumber to be found in any equal extent of ; the Southern States; containing the larg j est and most growing population, w ith a rich and new country every dav gaining in ; resources. The trade that goes down these rivers would be derived from an extent of |country nearly three hundred miles in * length, and from fifty to one hundred miles jin breadth. To all these people and this i extensive district, the benefits of JBruns jwick would he brought, should it he fos tered as it might be. That w e have the fa cilities lbr the immediate creation of such t market, yet that we hare not such a mar ket, must be matter of the deepest regret and most humbling reflection to vour hoa j or able body, and to our people at large.— That the immense product of our soil ! yearly descending our rivers, and trans ported in wagons, should piss by the ■ wharves of Darien and Savannah to go to Charleston, in another State, at a heavy ex pense, and our supplies returned by the ‘same circuitous and expensive route, must he humbling to tlie State pride and the pat riotism of every true hearted Georgian ; while in the opinion of your Commission ers, the amount of wealth that would be re tained at home, would in one year compcn i sate us for the whole expense of setting this I road in operation, and opening the Port jof Brunswick to the interior. Georgia at ■ this moment presents tire spectacle of a ro ‘ bust mm, rich in the vital fluid, submitting to have the veins of both arms opened, | and bleeding to death; while, by the ex ertion of his own strength and energy, he might save himself from destruction.— Savannah wc 1 fear is prostrated by the com pletion of Charleston rail-road to Augusta. Our produce already goes Ivy her wdiari es, because the farmer and merchant can get better bargains in a foreign market. All the produce on that noble river, which goes , to Augusta, is eventually destined to Charleston. On the other side ofour State, the rich country along the Chattahoochee is draining its products into Florida.— While we are thus losing the advantages ofour trade on both sides oltlie State, the body of the State is perishing, or finding a scanty subsistence abroad, for ihc want of that commercial nourishment at home J. W. FROST, EDITOR. NUMBER 2. which the resources of the Stato and the capital of wealthy individuals in it are am ply sufficient to supply. Under this state of things, for the want of our manly and vigorous exertion, we shall soon become like North Carolina, tributary to our sister States. Our system of internal improvement has been radically defcctire. Instead of di recting our operations to one important point on the sea coa«t, we have been work ing from village to village, and carrying our improvements across the State; thus giving facilities to. the passage of our pro duce into other markets. By some central operation, we should approximate the ship to the plough, and bring the mountains to the ocean. We have the means of avoid ing this suicidal policy, by a very trifling improvement. The navigation of three rivers already mentioned, is open to the heart of the State, to Hawkinsville, Mil ledgeville, and Macon; and these towns draw the trade from near the mountains. Connect the navigation oftiiese rivers with Brunswick, where the ship can at all .seasons approach, and the merchant and planter of the interior can find a good mar ket for sale and purchase, and our failing commerce would in a great measure revive and begin to flourish. It is by such means that South Carolina has fostered Charles ton, till having absorbed the commerce of her whole State, she is now draining Geor gia of hers. Let us learn a lesson from her example. From seventy to eighty thousand bales of cotton annually descend • lie Altamaha, besides other productions. These will increase as our fertile lands are opened, and our population becomes more numerous; and our cotton, corn, wheat, lumber, bacon, and stock of various kinds, will seek the best and nearest market on our coast, if such an one is to he found. — In return for these products, very exten sive supplies are, and will continue to be brought up these rivers. The greater part oftiiese products are now sent to Charles ton and New York, and our goods purchas ed in the same markets. The advantages of all these transactions might, in the opin ion of the Commissioners, be saved to Georgia, by a sea port of our own —and ; we arc confident that Brunswick holds out ; the strongest inducements for such a sav ing of our resources. Our capital might 'be kept at home—our merchants might j annually save large amounts of freights, : commissions, exchange, insurance, stor- I age, travelling expenses, and time —a very important item in the account current of every man of business. The merchants being enabled to save this expenditure, could afford to give better prices for pro duce, and sell their goods at cheaper rates, and on more accommodating terms; — while the farmer and planter would be the great gainers in the end. It would keep wealth at home, diffuse its comforts more generally, and increase the revenues ofour treasury. The merchant could obtain supplies of articles just when there is a demand for them, and know when he could calculate on receiving them. He could bring his goods into market much sooner after he had made his purchase, and of course be sooner able to pay for thorn, and better able to afford accommo dation to his customers. The price of our lands would be increased, and all our pro ductions find a more ready market. Such are the facilities and advantages that might, in the opinion of the Com missioners, be afforded to the people of Georgia, by opening the Port of Bruns wick to the interior, by connecting it with the Altamaha. This would in time, in duce further and more extensive 'improve ments. Trade might, in time be brought bom the isthmus of Florida, from Tennes see, Kentucky and Ohio— for the northern roads and canals are chained by the ice in winter, and the dangers of navigating the Gulf of Mexico, render an eligible and accessible port on the Atlantic, far prefer able to.any on the southern coast ofFlori dn. There is no reason why goods should not he bought as cheap at Brunswick, and produce command as high a price as at Charleston or New Orleans. The ship can as readily come to Brunswick from Liverpool, Bordeaux, and the East and West Todies, asto New York and Charles ton. Why should the freight be higher, or the goods dearer ? There would b« no delay in running in, and putting out to sea, and no heavy river charges, and no loss of time to increase the price of mer chandize, sold by the importer apd the wholesale dealer. Open the Port of Brunswick to thein terior, and the enterprise of seamen will soon bring the ships there ; and your cot ton, your grain, your sugar and every other article of home production will go there, and the merchant of large capital will soon find it to his'interest to invest it in Brunswick. The commerce of these rivers, and the trade of the whole interior of Georgia, belong, by nature , to some sea-port on our coast. Let the most eli gible, and the best be selected. I«et no sectional jealousy impede the enterprise Such a sea-port, we think, Brunswick might be made, being decidedly of opin ion, that it affords advantages for « largo ■*
