TUB ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga.). JULY 6, 1837.
The Brunswick and Florida Rail
Road. Thus far we have spoken only of the
| effects which must follow the opening of a com
munication w r ith the Altamaha, and purposely
avoided dwelling with any stress on the im
mense advantages to follow the completion of
a Rail Road to the Gulf of Mexico. The Can
al must as a matter of necessity bring to this
point, the greater portion of the produce from
the middle section of the State. This will
give employment to many persons, and will of
itself support a respectable town. This alone
would amply repay the company for its expen
diture, and render Brunswick a port of impor
tance. But a Rail Road to the junction of
j Florida and Chattahoochie, will at once secure
||to us the trade of the rich lands of Georgia
~iand Alabama, which use those rivers as their
■ road to market That section of the State is 1
E3 improving, the cotton lands rapidly clearing,
11 and the amount of crops annually increasing.
m Though not so noisy in their rise as the Wes
m tern lands, they are increasing in value full as
jar rapidly. Their productions now find an out
■ let in the Gulf; but this will be abandoned
B when one can be as cheaply and easily procur
■ed on the Atlantic coast The difficult and
■ dangerous navigation around the Capes of
■ Florida will be avoided, a very large portion
■ of the time now spent in making the voyage be
P saved, as well as the many expenses attending
the transportation by water. This route was
surveyed during the last Winter by parties of
, competent Engineers, who expressed the opin
ion that it is the most favorable route lor a
Rail Road in the country. Seventy miles of
it w ill bo over a perfect level through the pine
forests, and in no section is there any tiling
which can be considered as at all a serious ob
stacle. The road will be extended from Mt
Vernon to Pensacola, and thence a communi
cation be established by inland navigation to
Mobile and New Orleans. Two hundred miles
of this road, from Mt. Vernon to Brunswick,
would have been under contract during this
season, had not the business of the world been
checked. The capitalists of Europe are de
sirous of investing property in the stocks of
this country'. Anticipating changes in the
political and social formation of the old world,
they look to this, as offering a greater security
to their wealth. With a change of times, the
whole of this stock will be readily taken up,
and the work commenced. Complete the road
only to Mt. Vernon, and it gives Brunswick
the trade of Western Georgia and a part of
Alabama. Extend tbc road to Pensacola, and
it brings Brunswick into the cotton market of
the West The transportation of passengers
will bo immense. The great number who
travel from the South to the North in the
Autumn, instead of ascending the Mississippi,
or rounding the Capes, will take the passage
across to the sea coast, and the line of steam
packets between this port and New York will
be as profitable as any on the Western waters.
Sucli must he some of the results of this line
of rail road communication. These are not
works of a day. Time must be taken for their
performance—but their construction must fur
nish employment for a groat number of blacks
and afford a market for many of the produc
tions of the State. The owners of blacks
and flic planters of corn and raisers of stock,
will find a demand for all they wish to sell, —
while the road will increase ten fold the val
ue of property, in the section through which
it passes. The advantages are not to be con
fined to Brunswick and its neighborhood, but
will be felt throughout the State. A commu
nication with the Altamaha and another to the
rhattahoocliie, will extend their favorable in
fluence up to the very head of these noble riv
ers, and while they create a commercial port,
will aid in calling forth the resources and ad
ding to the wealth of the interior of the State.
The examples of New York and Pennsylvania,
arc full of encouragement. By the liberal
patronage of their Legislatures and the energy
of their citizens, they have created sources of
wealth which arc inexhaustible. In a few
years the cost of these works will be repaid,
they will continue to be a source of profit while
their advantages to the States are incalcula
ble. Georgia maintains a position as'favora
ble for the prosecution of such enterprizes as
any Union, why should she not avail
herself of them. This she is now doing, and
it any opinion may be formed from the course
of other States, she will persevere unto the
end.
Since the above was in type wc have been
favored with a communication on this subject,
which shall appear next week.
‘•The Star of Seville,” is the title of a
new Drama by Fanny Kemble Butler. Per
haps no lady has ever tested more fully" than
Mm. Butler-the-value of popularity. When
she first appeared on the American stage, a
most rapturous enthusiasm welcomed her.—
The romance' of her life, perhaps did much to
exalt the character of her acting, and as the
representative of “the Siddons,” she walked
through the highest range of Tragedy, worth v
of her descent. Caressed and flattered by the
educated and wealthy, she forgot that those at
tentions must be repaid in kind and in an evil
day published her “Journal” —a work abound
ing in splendid wrfling and showing genius of
the highest order. But because she ridiculed
£oine of the usages of American high life the
tide was turned against her—talent of any
kind was denied her and the very jicople who
had crowded the Tlieatres night after night to
w itness her acting, declared it was but trash,
and a score of obscure actresses were brought
forward as her rivals ! Conceal it as we may,
our national sensitiveness continually breaks
out, and if not a stiff-necked, wc are a thin
skinned generation. No foreign traveller can
please us—if faults are pointed out, we attrib
ute his discrimination to prejudice—if our in
stitutions, political and social, arc lauded, then
it is flattery'. Every traveller is either a cynic
or a sycophant of course. Poor Fanny and
Irish Power have both been punished for crit
icising severely and favorably our country.—
The next writer on America should imitate the
fox in the fable, and be afllicted with a cold—
lot him be perfectly non-committal and lie will
be popular.
But to return to the play. The Boston Gal
axy' which is devoted to the Drama and the
Stage, publishes a very severe criticism, and
from some of the extracts, very justly on this
production. Mr. Harrington, who is undoubt
edly the writer, is well versed in Dramatic lit
erature and above the prejudices of the day.—
lie speaks of the “Star of Seville” as far
inferior to “Francis the First,” and almost
doubts whether they can have both been
written by the same author. Whatever may
be its real merit, it can hardly have justice
done it in this country, and though from curi
osity it will be extensively read, we doubt
whether it will receive the same admiration it
w'ould have drawn if published previous to
her much abused Journal.
Life at the Wayne Springs. A travel
er passing through the pine forests of Wayne
would not suspect that among the hills and
glades were the habitations of man—that ele
gance and wealth had made these solitudes the
scenes of social intercourse and happiness.—
Yet were he to follow the windings of the car
riage paths which so frequently enter the pub
lic road, he would be conducted to rustic cotta
ges, the •abodes of gentlemen, who retreating
herefrom their plantations,spend the Summer
months, enjoying all the pleasures flowing from
agreeable and refined society'. Within a short
space are scattered some dozen families who
live on the most intimate terms. A club house
in the neighborhood of the Post Office, is the
rendezvous on each Saturday for the gentle
men, where a dinner is furnished by the mem
bers in turn. Billiards, bowling alleys and
quoits, furnish them with amusement, and not
unfrequently “ picnics” and dancing parties
are got up and the ladies and gentlemen living
within a circuit of many miles invited.—
Such a party was had last week, and an assem
blage of beauty and talent that might well
have graced the most polished circles of our
country, enjoyed the pleasures of a rural fes
tival. Such little events serve much to break
the monotony of a secluded life, and until
Brunswick shall contain within itself that
greatest source of happiness, refined society,
commend us to the Wayne parties.
Form Mexico. By an arrival at New Or
leans intelligence has been received front Vera
Cruz to the 12th ult. The Texian Cruiser,
Thomas Tobey, was busily employed, captur
ing Mexican vessels, armed and unarmed. In
formation had been conveyed to the Govern
ment of the discovery of several valuable gold
mines. The Message of Gen. Bustamcnte is
a sensible paper enough. He advises the or
ganization of the Judiciary, the simplification
of the laws and the establishment of a better
police. The war in Texas will be actively
prosecuted and be doubts not but order will
be restored to the remotest frontier of Texas.
He further recommends improvements in the
system of education. The funds of the Re
public arc in great embarrasment. The army
is in a good condition. The navy requires a
complete remodeling. The foreign relations
are of a friendly nature, with the exception of
the United States. Os this country he speaks
in the following terms : “In the flattering
perspective which I have traced of foreign re
lations, I have the mortification to except the
conduct held by the government of the United
States. Nevertheless the law which author
izes the Mexican Government to act on the
claims of that cabinet and to take the proper
measures for the safety of the nation, incase it
should not condescend to grant the satisfaction
to which wc have a right on our own part, in
duces me to hope, not without good grounds,
that our relations with the neighboring repub
lic will be restored.”
The Jacksonville (East Florida) Courier of
2i*th ult, says, “Day before yesterday Mr.
Kingsley’s negroes passed here from Drayton
Island, which they had abandoned because the
Indians made their appearance on the Island.
'Fhe negroes stated they saw Indians, and saw
lircs in various directions.
It is reported that-the mail rider was stopped
at tiic River Styx, by Indians—that they tolu
him to carry “his news” back—that no more
should go through their country.
Gen. Jessup has for some days been expect
ed to arrive at Black Creek, and possibly lie
is there now and we not yet heard of his ar
rival.
It is also reported, how true we cannot say,
that the Indians have burned the Government
buildings at Volusia.”
The Cotton crop in the vicinity of Montgom
ery, Ala. has been much injured by the ravages
of the insect, and in some places destroyed.
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
Brunswick, Glynn County, ?
JuneStith, 1837.$
I have been informed that in a speech which
Mr. James Hamilton Couper read at the pub
lic meeting of tlie citizens of this County, held
at Bethel on the 21th inst- he said it was his
opinion that the forms of law had not been
complied with respecting the survey of a cor
tain tract of land made by' me in the month of
December last for Mr. Thomas Butler King—
that the survey was not advertised, and if it was
he did not doubt that the same person who put
up the advertisement took it down again before
the seals got dry. These may' not be the pre
cise words used by Mr. C. but from what I can
understand they convey the same meaning.
I feel it my duty to reply to these charges,
being confident that I have never given Mr. C.
the least cause to speak of me in this manner.
I therefore take the earliest opportunity of do
ing so in the most public manner, and positive
ly assert that the survey above alluded to was
faithfully executed, and my proceedings fully
ami plainly advertised according to law. The
advertisement was tacked up at the Court
llouse by myself, nor did I take it down my
self, nor did I cause it to be taken down by
any one else. (If lam called upon by proper
authority, I can produce a copy of the adver
tisement,) and any assertions made to the con
trary I now take the liberty of saying arc un
founded and untrue, and have no other tenden
cy than to destroy the good opinion which my
follow citizens may have of me. Since I have
been in office, I have endeavored to discharge
my duty faithfully to the best of my ability and
to the satisfaction of all who have employed
me. Mr. Couper has held for several years
with dignity, an office of Honor in this County,
and if he had attended at the Court House as
often as the duties of his office required him,
no doubt he would have seen my advertisement
and saved himself the trouble of making a
speech about it.
Signed this July Ist, 1837.

The following, which we translate from
the Diario el Censor of Vera Cruz of May
30, is worthy of preservation ;is a specimen of
national character. Where was this terrible
Mexican when the brig of war Gen. Urrca
struck her flag to the Natchez sloop of war
without firing a shot? Where was he when
the same sloop of war recaptured an American
vessel under the guns of anot her Mexican brig
of war without the slightest resistance? It
took two Mexican brigs of war two hours to
capture a Texian schooner of fi guns and 30
men—how many brigs of the same kind would
be required to capture an American corvette,
of 20 guns and 200 men ?
Vera Cruz, 29th May, 1837.
To the editor of the Censor :
Sir—Please to publish the following few
lines in order that they may come to the
knowledge of Captain Dulany of the sloop of
war Boston belonging to the Pensacola station.
Capt. Dulany,
Sir —l have been officially informed by his
Excellency, General Bravo, of your intimation
to him. to release the prizes made on the coast
of Texas by our squadron or otherwise you
would capture it as soon as it leaves the pro
tection outlie forts that defend it. I ardently
wish to prove that it is much easier to utter
such bragging words than to carry those
threats into execution. If our Government un
fortunately conics to open hostilities, we can
procure you a very pleasing day, by your com
ing tome with your sloop, being sure to meet
me with the brigs Libertador& It.urbidc,whose
force, if there be any difference, is not in my
favor. If our Governments should amicably
settle their differences I would request you to
use in coimmincations a more proper and mod
erate language, otherwise means will he
found to compel you so to do, by
Your very obedient sorv’t,
JOSE ALDANA,
Commander of the Mexican Naval Force of,
of the Northern Sea.
II cstmmstcr Election—the lit duration.
LoXoo.x, May 18.
An immense concourse assembled yesterday
to hear the declaration of the poll.
Sir Francis Burdett arrived in procession,
at the hustings about two o’clock, and was most
heartily received.
On the hustings were Sir George Sinclair,
Caps. Ryder Burton, Morton Dyer, Esq. Mr.
Wood (the eminent brewer,) Col. Vcrner, Lord
Cole, Mr. Walter, Mr. Hume, Mr. Roebuck,
Col. Thompson, Mr. Leader, Mr. A<dionby,
Dr. Bowring, &c.
Upon the exhibition of the gross poll as
follows, the Hon. Representative (Sir Francis
Burdett) was hailed with vociferous cheer
ing.
Sir F. Burdett, 3,5(17
J. T. Leader, 3.052
Majority for Sir F. Burdett, 515
The high Bailiff having waited for some time
to obtain a hearing, said that, as high bailiff of
the city and liberties of Westminister, it was
his duty to declare that Sir F. Burdett was
duly elected to serve in Parliament for the city
and liberties of Westminster—(cheerino- for
several minutes, nearly the whole of the per
sbns waving their hats and hannkerchiefs with
enthusiasm.)
House of Commons —Friday, May 12.
The Speaker was enabled to take the chair
some time before four o’clock, owing to the
very full attendance of members, particularly
on the opposition benches.
Sir Francis Burdett, who had been for some
time seated behindtjm sergeant-at-arms" after
wards appeared to take his seat on Ins re-elec
tion for Westminster. (The honorable Baron
et had the support of two crutches.) He was
introduced by Sir George Sinclair and Lord
Samlon. The first glimpse that was caught of
him was the signal for the loud and enthusias
tic cheering from the opposition benches, which
was continued for several minutes; and that
was responded to by jeering cheers, and other
noises, of no very harmonious character.—
These friendly and unfriendly recognitions
continued during the whole time of the oaths
being administered. The honorable Baronet
then took his seat on. the opposition bench be
low where Sir R. Peel, Sir Janies Graham,
etc. usually sit. Sir J. Graham afterwards
went to the honorable Baronet, shook lmnds
with him, sat down by his side, and entered
into conversation with him. Many of the op
position members went and shook hands with
him, but we did not observe any one member
from the ministerial side go anil offer that
compliment. The honorable Baronet, having
stayed about half an hour, quitted the house:
but during his stay he was repeatedly cheered.
Western and Atlantic Rail Road.
Wc are proud to learn from a letter re
ceived by His Excellency the Governor
from Mr. W hitwell, one of the principal
assistant engineers, that the several parties
ol engineers, with their necessary insiru
ments, wagons, horses, camp equipage,
&c, to prosecute with despatch the surveys
of the route lor the rail road from the
Tennessee to the Chattahoochie river,
have left Augusta for Athens, where they
expected to arrive ou Sunday lust. From
that place, wc understand, they will pro
ceed to Warsaw—on the line of Forsyth
and Gwinnett counties, and commence
the great work. Three parties will be in
the held, on three different routes, at the
same time, and when they shall have com
pleted these, and others that will probably
be examined, the principal Engineer, Col.
Long, will be enabled to determine where
the road will lie finally located. The
Governor as we understand, will probably
leave Milledgcville for Warsaw, on Sun
day next, for the purpose of giving bis
attention to the work. [Fed. Union.
Sandwich Islands. —lt is from Nan
tucket—next door-neighbor to the Isles
of Sandwiches—that we look always for
the latest court intelligence from that le
gion. We accordingly lind the following
in the latest Nantucket Inquirer :
Queen of the. Sandwich Islands. —The
demise of this lady is reported, in accounts
recently received, as having occurred in
January last. She was the sister of the
present king, Kuuik aouli, young, beau
tiful, and perfect in all the accomplish
ments of an occidental prince —inso
much that his majesty himself at one time
earnestly desired to espouse her. The
proposed union, however, was overruled
and prevented by the high council of
Chiefs—and both :!ie king and his royal
sister .la Inllc savage, have continued to
repose in the beatitude of celibacy. She
is described, to us, by gentlemen who
have been permitted to approach her au
gust presence, as having possessed a fine
lbrin, remarkably handsome features, a
complexion exceedingly fair and brilliant,
altogether unlike the generality of her
countrywomen ; and manners so gentle
and lady like, that she shone amidst her
swarthy court as an example of grace and
elegance, claiming universal admiration.
She was the daughter, we believe, of llie
celebrated William l’itt, formerly prime
minister of that empire.
Persecution in England. —A Maria
Monk excitement lias been got up, on a
small scale however, in England. Among
the law reports in one of the papers, is
an application for a rule to show cause
why a criminal information should not be
filed against t lie- publisher of the Church
man, lor a libel on a number of helpless
females, established in a nunnery at Dar
lington. The libel was evidently framed
upon the “Awful Disclosures,,” consist
ing of murdered innocents, secret passa
ges, foul debauchery of priests and nuns,
&c. The affidavits of the prioress, nuns,
and lay sisters, were read, utterly, deny
ing the truth of the charges—and the rule
was granted. In old England these slan
dered and helpless women will bo gndtet
etl—V<o' England lias the honor of yield
ing no redress to unprotected females for
ihe conflagration of the Ursuliuc Convent
—an act of cowardice and cruelty, that
will forever stain her annals.—[Albany

Fuse Arms.— Tin* hoard of officers
appointed under the resolution of the
Senate of the United States for examining
and ter -ling the improvement in fire arms,
which met at Washington iast winter and
adjourned to meet at West-Point, are to
assemble at the latter place the present
week. We understand that since the last
meeting of tlie hoard .Mr. Colt has made
some improvement in his gun, and that
he can now fire 100 charges in the incred
ibly short space of ti n minutes. Such an
instrument of distraction we think would
strike terror into the hearts of ordinary
belligerents. We understand several offi
cers of the army have given orders to Mr.
Colt for braces of pistols. We also un
derstand that a splendid factory lias been
erected at Paterson for the manufacture
of arms under Mr. Colt’s patent, and that
within a short time, a supply will come
into market. [N. Y. Courier.

“If youth but knew the fatal misery that
