It is aston ishing wliaf effect the siii;illost portion oi j the strong coffee made l»y the Arabs has ; 'no greater stimulus is required in the lon gest and most arduous journeys. It is u niversal throughout the cast, but more u sed by the Arabs of the desert than by I any other class; they will often go witli joulfyodfor twenty-four hours, if they can but have recourse to the little drain iof coffee, which from the small compass in which they carry the apparatus, and the readiness with winch it is made, they can • always command. I can vouch lor both its strength and exhilerating effect; it ; answers these purposes better than I can conceive it possible a dram of spirit could do to those who indulge in it. i A Sis ti n. lie who lias never known a ! .-i.-ter's kind ministrations, nor felt hi heart warming beneath her endearing smile and love-beaming eye, has been un fortunate indeed. It is not to he won dered if the fountains of pure feeling flow in his bosom hut sluggishly, or if the, genth r emotions of Ins nature be lost in the sterner attributes of manhood. ! “That man hasgrown up among kind and affectionate sisters,’' I once heard a lady of much observation and experience I remark. “And why do you think so !” said I. “Because of the rich developement j of all the!< nder and more refined feelings j of the heart, w hich are so apparent in cv-j erv word.'’ “A sister’s influence is felt, even in; manhood’s later years; and the heart of , him who has grown cold in its chilling; contact with the world, will warm and j thrill with pure enjoyment, as some inci-j dent awakes within him the soft tones and < glad melodics of his sister's voice.

We have received a letter from a friend of Brunswick residing at Athens, and learn from j it, that a most absurd report is circulating in ■ the; up country in regard to our city; being no more nor less, than tliat one of the stockholders had sohl out, and made nearly half a million by j the speculation ! and that he did not care what j became of the concern!! Had this report been circulated nearer home,we should not have noti- 1 ced it, but lest some persons in die interior may : be deceived by it we take the trouble to contra dict it No stockholder has sold out his inter- ; O't. and from f lie latest accounts, no disposition is felt by any of the company to do so. Hard j as the times are, no one is disposed to give up this portion of his property, and all reports to the contrary we firmly believe are without the slightest foundation in truth. A remark made by a gentleman deeply in- i forested here, has also been extensively quoted as being unfavorable to Brunswick, viz.—thati the stockholders looked upon this as a specula- i lion. Now we willingly admit not only that j the remark was made, but tliat it is correct in point of fact. And we should like to sec any work of the kind which has no private gain as the moving principle. Look at the public works in any of the States or in Europe, which have been constructed by private companies, and as a matter of course you will discover a desire to make money has led to the invest ment of capital in those particular modes.— But if the interest of the stockholders here is dependent on tiie growth and prosperity of this j State, can anyone object to their reaping a j harvest. If their profits are based solely on | the sound growth and fuller developement of Georgia, w ill not every Georgian rejoice in their realizing their fullest anticipations. The attempts which are continually made to create a prejudice against this enterprise, by denouncing it as a speculation, are founded on the opinion that the people of tills State are devoid of intelligence. We will not think so meanly of them as to suppose them capable of believing lor a moment tliat tins company is I composed of men devoid of any private ends— | of men whose only object is to improve the; State, without benefiting themselves. No, I the people of Georgia well understand, that while the Brunswick enterprise will result in the improvement of their State, it is also in ; tended to be a source of profit to those who ; are willing to encounter the expense and anx iety of carrying it through. QJ® Below will be found a letter from Mr. Kino, giving his views on tiic contemplated rail road to the Gulf of Mexico. This work originated w ith him and will be carried through i by his energy and perseverance. JI is opinions ! therefore, an; entitled to much respect and wo doubt not will command the attention of all ! who feel interested in the prusperty of this sec tion of Georgia. (copy.) Movtickllo, .May 1837. My Hear Sir, — By this day’s mail 1 have received vour letter of 3d inst., and although much pressed with business, 1 w ill give you a sketch of my | views on the subject to which you call my at i tent ion. Georgia unquestionably possesses a more commanding position than any Southern State, and it may be found, than any other State in the Union. Her t< rritorv borders four States ■ and Florida—her navigable rivers I believe are more extensive than can be found in any j territory of the same dimensions on the Globe! Her sea coast is free from capes, shoals, rocks, j ice and snow ! —she commands a comiiuuiica -1 tion with the Gulf of Mexico through the Ap- I palaclucola river—she possesses the most prac j ticable and desirable routes for rail roads lead | mg to the great Valley of the Mississippi, di : verging from the sea coast and extending ; through 1 lie centre of the State to her North western boundary, and along her Southern bor t dor to the Appalachicola, giving her command ! of the trade and travel to the grain and hemp 1 growing regions of the Northwest, and the i rich Cotton districts bordering the Gulf of .Mexico. It has been ascertained bevond all - j question that cotton and all other articles of produce can be brought from ports on the Gulf to her coast and shipped to their places of des tination, when the Brunswick and Florida rail 1 road shall be completed, vastly cheaper and j quicker than they can be carried round Cape Florida. This rail road w ill also prevent the , productions of many of the richest Counties of i the SSt ite from being compelled to seek a mar ket at the ports on the Gulf, ami subject to the expense, dangers and delays of the navigation round Cape Florida,.and will render the purls on the Gulf tributary to Georgia, instead of Georgia being tributary to them! i A .-hip can come from any port in Europe to her coast on an average ten days quicker than to New York, or the ports of the North, incon .sequence of being able to make what is called ( the Southern passage, and to take advantage of the trade w inds. If therefore, we had reg- I ular lines of packets to Liverpool, New York would be indebted to us for European intelli gence which would eyve us a vast advantage I in commercial and financial transactions, i Georgia has the only sea port south of the j Chesapeake Bay suited to naval purposes, and ! safe for seamen at all seasons of the vear.— , These advantages will enable our merchants to continue their ; commercial transactions | throughout the year with all parts of the world- At present we are tributary to the Northern ports, —our men of business emigrate, and bu siness ceases the beginning of Summer. The great Western rail road will bring to our coast the vast productions of the Western States, which South Carolina hopes to receive by the Cincinnati and Charleston rail road. —‘ The steam boats on the Western rivers can come at all seasons of the year to the terminus ot the road on the Tennessee river, and the merchants and tarmers of the W est can come to our coast in Winter with their produce when the Northern rail roads and canals are obstruc ted by snow and ice, and be enabled to return with their supplies in time to meet the wants of the Spring market at the very season that they are now- comp died to encounter all the difficulties incident to a Northern winter. Twelve months ago South Carolina, Florida and Alabama, were looking to receive, each their share of the trade of Georgia. The con templated rail roads from Charleston through a portion of her territory to Cincinnati—from West Point to Montgomery—from Pensacola to Columbus—from St. Marks to Jacksonville, on the St. Johns river, together with the Flint and Chattahoochie rivers, were supposed to be sufficient to drain Georgia of her wealth and deprive her citizens of the profits on her com mercial exchanges. I lew entirely has the state of things been changed. The Great W estern rail road w'ill supersede that contemplated from Charleston to Cincinnati in all its consequences and re sults, and besides give a ready outlet to the vast mineral wealth of the Cherokee country, and supply all the central and Eastern portions of the State with the bread stuffs and other marketable products of the West, and leave an immense surplus to be shipped from our own ports. The Brunswick and Florida rail road must necessarily receive all the freight and passengers to and from the Southwest— The contemplated rail road across Fast Flori da from St Marks to the St Johns, has been superseded by the Brunswick and Florida rail road. The W est Point and Montgomery road | "ill now in all probability come to Columbus, 1 and whether it does or not it must bring the produce from Alabama instead of taking ours jto Mobile. The route of the Pensacola and Columbus road has been changed, and it is now in progress from Pensacola to Monte-orn ery, and w ill in fact be a continuation of the Brunswick and Florida rail road into the cen tre ot Alabama, and bring the produce of the country through w-hich it w ill pass to our coast, instead of carrying the produce of Western Georgia to Florida. The surveys of a route for the Brunswick and Florida rail road are now completed. The distance from Brunswick to the junction of the j Flint and Chattahoochie is about two hundred j and ten miles, and the country over which it will pass, unquestionably affords greater facil ities for the construction of a rail road than any other route of the same extent in the Uni ted States. 1 w ill only observe further on this matter, that recent experiments prßve beyond doubt that we can bring cotton from Pensacola to Brunswick for two dollars a bale, and consc ! quently not only save from thirty to forty days in every voyage to Europe or -the Northern j States, from ports on the Gulf, but also from j five to six dollars in freight and insurance on every hale of cotton. I am dear Sir, With much respect and esteem, Your friend, TEGS. BUTLER KING. Miss M ailtineai ’s Book on America i Our last page contains an extract or two from this book which has just been published at X. V ork. 'l’lie writer has been favorably known in the literary world by her “Times of the Sa viour,” ‘‘Letters to the Deaf,” “Letters to the j Catholics” and “Illustrations of Political Fcon ! omv.” Those last were written at the request ot Lord Brougham and are said to have been productive of much good in the manufacturing districts of England. She visited this country during the years’3s and MG, and examined our various institutions carefully, and her observa tions wo believe will be more just and worthy ot respect than those of any English writer on America. Unfortunately however, Miss Mar tineau connected herself while at the North with the Abolition Societies, and by that act lost the confidence of many of her friends, and this feeling may have given a coloring to her views nnf.ivorab’e to an impartial decision on all our institutions. The Boston (airier from w hich we cut these extracts seems disposed to sneer at the book and its author and expresses great thankfulness tor not having joined in the praises and compli iiienisqn:id to the lady during Ist-visit to this, country. The attentions which she received I (previous to the unfortunate act to w hich we , have alluded) w ere no more than she deserved. An authoress of high reputation, a strong advo- j cate of reform in her own land and a decided j friend of America, she presented many claims to the courtesies and kindness of our citizens, i Let her bool; be what it mav, she is one of the remarkable women of an age characterized by the number of distinguished women. Public Executions. You can hardly take up a paper w hich does not contain at least one account, long spun out, of the last words and dying agonies of some poor wretch who has paid w ith his life for the infraction of some law. Without w-ishing to discuss the policy of capital punisliments, we cannot but feel a degree of shame that in the present boasted age of civilization such exhibitions should at tract crowds or the accounts be read with so much eagerness. It ‘is quite the fashion for people to display at once their classical knowl edge and humane feelings, by decrying the Gladiatoral combats which were witnessed by the Roman ladies—but for our part we frankly admit there was much more excuse for this, j t,lan the morbid appetite of modern times for “ hangings.” A mortal conflict between two men in the full possession of strength and skill, in the noble arena of a Roman Aphithea tre might have been a spectacle of sublimity, but to see a man quietly hung up like a dog, or to read with interest of such a sneaking af lair, argues we think, a bad heart and perverted understanding. The object of punishment is two-fold, to act as a penalty on the offender and [ deter others from committing the same act. , But in case of public executions this last is j certainly lost. People assemble as to a frolic j !U,( l go away from the show- with the im ' pression that hanging after all is not such a bad affair that death is not so much to be i dreaded. In “Logan,” a singular novel by Neal, it is proposed tliat executions should take place by midnight, in private, and at the in stant a heavy bell used for no other purpose, should toll—impressing on the minds of all by its solemn sounds, tliat a soul was then taking its flight into the unknown world. Would not the effect be far better? Would not the mys i ,er .v shrouding the act, render the punishment more terrible, than the disgusting familiarity with which it is now inflicted? The threat which w-c made in a previous number to “publish a certain correspondence and prove a lew facts,” has given the despera ; :l tion of a cornered rat to the Editor of the Da j ricn Telegraph, and who as the best means of | lessening the odium which his conduct has j attached to his name, has published his own infamy to the world. It is therefore unneces sary’ for us to undertake the task so completely performed by himself. It is for the Public to determine w hat notice is to be taken, or what dependence be placed in the honor of a man, who sends a challenge through the hands of I an individual v.ho has disgraced a Commission lin the Army—a Commission ho was permitted ; to give up rather than expose himself to a Court ; Martial, and w ho since that time has yielded up to the lowest kinds of dissipation—a man who belongs to a highly respectable family, but who his ow n brother, a gentleman of un- I sullied honor, candidly admitted, has sunk be low- the level of a gentleman, and ought not to be admitted to participate in an affair of the kind. Our own personal knowledge of Mr. 11. L. O’Neal, is limited simply to that ac quaintance which exists between a gentleman and urr.lcr, in a public house, and results sole ly from the performance on his part of such memo! services as we required. We have oc casionally seen him at the Mansion House in Darien, as a drunken servant, and there for his insolence saw him receive the most insulting epithets and a slap in the face, without his dar ing to resent them. Ile is now,we learn, a bar keeper in a little dram shop in Darien, entire ly disowned by the gentlemen of the place.— I lie following note from Mr. Mubrv, in answer to a letter of ours, will show at once that we were not alone in our objection to tfie man, and Mr. P. P. Gignilliat, who bore the note from Mr. M. to Mr. MacArdcll, also informed him tliat O Neal was not a gentleman, and bv no means a suitable person to associate with gen tlemen, an.l he then promised to send to Sav vannah fora friend. Mr. MacArdell know when he sent his mos ' sago that our friends would object to the black : guard he employed, and he would thus escape die unpleasant circumstance of being shot at. 1 he gentlemen acquainted with the character ; tke parties agree m the opinion that no hon ! orablc man ought to notice any communication borne by this man, and we publish the note of' j Mr. -Mabry to show to those who reside at a distance the character of Mr. MacArdell’ s as sociates and friends. As to all his boasting and threatening, it will be time enough for him to claim the honor; ; a hero after he has resented the persona j chastisements bestowed on him in Savannah.— A man mho has bcfrircd in the most piteous tern i# for mem/, should be the last to bluster abort his courage. Darten, 1J th July, 1837. j Dear Sir, — t ours ot the 10th, has just been received.— I I regret much to find the Public troubled for an opinion on a subject, which I expected, a* it ought, to have been settled in a much more satisfactory manner. Injustice to you, I mu-' hero stilt- that the grounds of objection to Mr If. KO’Neal, were mutual. I stated to you or the morning Mr. MacArdell’s note was re ceived that if he Mr. H. L.
