THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga.).—AUGUST a, 1837.
ll Our State.” Below will be found a let
ter written by Mr. King, in reply to certain
enquiries of a young student just about to
graduate at the University of Georgia, and who
has chosen for his theme “ Our State.” If the
gentleman manages his subject with as much
talent as he has shown judgment in its selec
tion, his hearers will be furnished with a pro
duction highly gratifying to ever}' Georgian.
If we mistake not, this gentleman will mark
out an entirely new track. Os the innumera
ble subjects which we have know n to be se
lected for college exercises, we do not recol
lect ever to have seen one so practically use
ful and that could be rendered so instructive
and interesting to an audience. Without any
acquaintance w'ith Mr. Lewis other than de
rived from tins incident, we venture to predict
for him a life of usefulness and honor. The
letter itself, like all-Mr. King’s writings, is to
the point, without empty verbiage or taw'dry
ornament —full of facts and their necessary in
ferences, and setting forth in concise terms
the necessity of fostering Brunswick, as one of
the most efficient methods of bringing out more
perfectly the wealth and energies of the State:
Monticello, Wayne Countv, ?
July 19th, 1837.' $
Dear Sir, —
Your letter of the 29th ultimo, w'as not
received until the 14th inst., and I regret that
my engagements have delayed my reply until
this moment
Permit me to congratulate you on the happy
selection of your subject—“ Our State,” —and
to hope, that from this time forward it may be
the motto, not only of every student and gradu
ate of the University of Georgia, but of every
Georgian, from the ocean to the mountains, —
and that to promote her honor, prosperity and
happiness, may be the grand object of her
Scholars, Legislators and Statesmen.
The Southern States present at this time a
most extraordinary anamoly in the commercial
history of the world. Possessing a soil and
climate unsurpassed on the face of the Globe,
a population inferior to none in intelligence
and enterprise, and sending forth annually a
gricultural productions amounting almost to
one hundred millions of dollars, and yet pos
sessing no commercial marine!—no large com
mercial cities, where merchants can reside dur
ing Summer in safety and continue their trans
actions with all parts of the world, and conse
quently our commercial tow ns offer little or no
inducement to the educated young men of the
country and especially of our State to become
merchants. They have at once to enter into
competition with those who come from the
North, or from Europe with their ships, wares,
and merchandize, —their connections in busi
ness already established, —to remain during
winter, and return on the approach of Summer,
with the profits of our commerce as the re
ward of their toils—looking upon our seaports
as places to acquire wealth to be enjoyed in
more healthful climes. Nor are they singular
in this respect—the native inhabitants set the
example.
The question may, and ought to be asked by
every Georgian, why is this ? and every Geor
gian ought to be able to answer it, and for one
I will try, though I bring down upon me the
vituperation of all those interested in keeping
things as they are, to the degradation of our
State, and the injury of our commerce and ag
riculture.
It is because all our sea ports at present in
use, from Norfolk to New Orleans, are situated
on fresh water rivers! This has arisen, I sup
pose, partly in the early settlement of the coun
try, from the want of a knowledge of our cli
mate, and suitable internal improvements to
direct our agricultural products to salt water
harbors. Our fresh water rivers as they ap
proach the ocean arc bordered by extensive
swamps, which produce the most unhealthful
atmosphere, and when to this is added the mias
tna arising from the mixture of salt and fresh
water, which is of the most deadly character
in our climate, it will be perceived at once that
6eamen and persons coming from abroad to
transact business in our sea ports in Summer,
run the most imminent hacard of losing their
lives. This risk has become now so well
known that no ship sailing from Europe to ar
rive in the United States after the middle of
May or first of June, will come to one of our
Southern ports, unless wages, freight and in
surrance are increased to an amount sufficient
to induce desperate men to volunteer on this
forlorn hope. And as Summer is the most fa
vorable season to import goods from Europe,
the supplies intended for the South are sent to
New York, to come coastwise to us, after the
frosts of autumn shall have destroyed the mias
ma of our ports and rendered them safe for
seamen, and the return of our ami grating pop
ulation. The merchants of New York, quick
to perceive this, have established lines of pack
ets to our Southern ports, and to Europe. The
latter sail with great celerity, and from the
number of passengers, carry freight both ways
very cheap. The former arp aided in the trans
portation of our produce to New York, by the
number of passengers made up of our emigrat
ing population. This is a most singular and
extraordinary state of tilings, and so well ar
ranged, as to lead the casual observer to sup
pose it irremediable. A little examination how
ever, will, I think, convince any one that it is
not.
The most essential requisite to a site for a
commercial emporium is a healthy sea port,
where seamen, and persons from all parts of
the world may come and go in safety at all
seasons of the year; without this we cannot
expect to attain to any degree of commercial
or naval importance, and our agricultural pro
ducts must Continue to be taxed at various
places, and in various ways on their circuitous
route to a market, or the places where they are
wanted for manufacture or consumption—and
our commercial transactions suspended during
the sickly season.
At present all persons who have the means
to do so, leave our sea ports in Summer, be
cause no one can transact business by remain
ing. Business ceases, and if any merchant
thinks proper to stay, he can do nothing. Ido
not speak of the few retailers who keep their
shops open to afford their customers a scanty ;
supply—but the merchants engaged in the ,
conunerce of the country. Therefore what
one may do with impunity all may do. Ever}' :
one who goes to the North or to Europe to !
spend the Summer, knows very well that he j
can return and resume his business as soon as 1
the frosts of autumn will permit it to commence,
and if his neighbor chooses to remain he can
do notiiing until that period. He therefore
runs no risk of losing his business, and has
the pleasure of spending the Summer in idle
ness, and perhaps among his friends in a more
agreeable climate.
Reverse this state of things. Bring into use
a healthy salt water sea port, from whence our
j commercial transactions can be conducted with
I all parts of the world, as Well in Summer as in
! Winter, and the desire of gain and the fear of
I losing their business, will compel our mer
i chants to remain Tit their post; and should any
| one abandon his business during Summer his
neighbor will take it from him. Our merchants
i can then own ships which they cannot do now,
j for want of employment during Summer, and
i because they cannot bring them to our ports
;at that season of the year. The reason why
ships cannot make European voyages from our
river ports in Summer is that the officers and
men are liable to be taken sick at sea, and the
| safety of the vessel and cargo consequently
endangered. This has frequently happened.
Coast wise voyages can however be made in
vessels manned by what are called “yellow fe
ver crews,” and it is in these vessels that we
have doled out to us at increased cost, our
scanty supplies during Summer, and in which
the produce of our country is carried to New
York to find its way to Europe in the packet
ships. Thus furnishing freight to enable them
to import for us, adding tribute to delay both
ways. It is a notorious fact that in all ordina
ry times our cotton and rice fall in price on the
approach of Summer. The cause is that our
exports direct to Europe cease, and our trade
during what is called the sickly season is car
ried on through the port of New York; and in
fact this is getting to be the case more or less
throughout the year. Regular lines of pack
ets being established from that city to ijll our
ports of any importance, for the purpose of
carrying our cotton there to be shipped to Eu
rope. A healthy port and city will give us a
resident mercantile population—our export and
import trade will be conducted with as much
safety in Summer as in Winter; and a vast a
mount saved to our agriculture in costs and
charges, as well as avoiding the annual depre
ciation, to which I have alluded, in the price
of our produce.
There are no causes, except those to which
I have referred, operating to depreciate the
price of our cotton and rice on the approach of
Summer; and Mere it not for them, prices
would rather go up than down, as that is the
season when commerce and manufactures are
in the highest state of activity. The annual
loss to our agriculture occasioned by the fall
in the price of cotton in Summer is immense.
Our commercial condition is also most unfa-
our"Seminaries of learning, and the
encouragement of the Arts and Sciences a
mong.us. The merchants and traders who
only conic here to spend the Winter, of course
leave their families at the North, or in Europe,
that their children may be educated. And our
own citizens who emigrate annually find it
more convenient to educate their children where
they spend their leisure time, and especially
where the climate is better. In short as a
State, we are deprived of most of the benefits
which result from the accumulation of wealtli
in large commercial Emporiums, and our pros
perity, power, and political importance, most
materially injured and retarded.
My object in bringing Brunswick into no
tice is, to relieve Georgia from her present
state of commercial degradation, to cause the
establishment of a Naval depot at that port,—
the only one on the Southern coast suited to
Naval purposes,—which will bring with it, as
matter of course, fortifications, naval arma
ments'and all material for defence in time of
war, and security in peace. The extract from
one of my letters herewith enclosed, will give
you a glance at my views on the subject of
the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road, by
which and the Brunswick and Altamaha Ca
nal, I hope to see Brunswick connected not
only with the internal improvements of our
own State, but with the whole West and South
West
I am perfectly satisfied that the port of Bruns
wick and the city will be found healthy.—
Planters who reside on the salt water bays a
long our roast, where there are no fresh water
pools or rivers in the neighborhood, have en
joyed uninterrupted health. I have been told,
and it w'ill doubtless be said again, that it is

impossible to have a resident mercantile popu
lation in our climate, and to continue our com
mercial transactions in safety with all parts of
the world in Summer. As though God has
placed a mark upon our country, and forbid
our onward march to wealth and power. Let
us spurn such an idea. We have only to look
to the Coast of Brazil and other w arm climates,
to see some of the most delightful harbors anti
cities in the world.

Impostors. Os the large and respectable
class who live by imposing on our worthy citi
zens, Williams the Oculist to all the crowned
heads of Europe, and the Wandering Piper,
are certainly most entitled to eminence for
their impudence and success. The Doctor
when he first arrived in this country, was quite
willing to submit to all that was said of him,
I doubtless consoling himself with the reflection
that all benefactors of their race have suffered
persecution ; but his success gave him cour
age and he actually commenced a war against
the Medical faculty of Charleston! We have
recently seen that he w-as driven from Nash
ville, and one of the editors exposes his at
tempts at self-puffing. The Doctor offered
the editor 820 to insert as editorial the Doc
tor’s own w riting!
The Wandering Piper is a vulgar, ignorant
| fellow, possibly a Scotchman. He has certain
j ly shown some cunning and will doubtless go
| home and live comfortably on the proceeds of
i his American tour—probably write a book,
i and give a substantial form to his peculiar
| system of Orthography. It is a disgrace to the
' country that a pair of such arrant knaves have
not only escaped the stocks, but accumulated
! fortunes among us.
[ Milton was asked by a friend, whether he
j would instruct his daughters in the different
j languages ? to which he replied,—“No, sir, I
firmly believe that one tongue is sufficient for
a woman.”
This anecdote, such as it is, we find in a pa
! per under the “Ladies’ Department!” Milton,
! though a great poet, was an ill-tempered, mo
! rose man, and a woman hater. Perhaps he had
j some reason for this, as two of his three wives
! led him a miserable life. But his brutal con-
I duct to his daughters is inexcusable. He enm
-1 pelled them to read to him books in many lan
guages, but never taught them to understand
j any of them. One edition of his w-orks which
w e have seen, contains an engraving represent
ing his daughters reading to him, and one would
really suppose the young ladies to be highly
cultivated and cheerfully repaying their father
for their education, when in fact they were per
! fcctlv illiterate, not being able to write their
' names. When reading the noblest portions of
the only English Epic, our pleasure is marred
j by thinking of the brutality of the a%thor, and
| our admiration of the poet lost in contempt for
! the man.
i Princess V ictoria. Tho English papers
| are filled witfi highly colored accounts of the
i beauty, talents and virtue of the future queen
lof the British realm. Notwithstanding all
: that is said of her personal charms,we are inclin
jed to place greater faith in those prints which
speak in more tempered terms. An extract
from those old wits, Beauinout and Fletcher,
convey we think, a very wholesome sentiment:
“She is a princess, and she must be fair,
That’s the prerogative of being royal:
Let her want eyes and nose, she must be
beauteous.
And she must know it too, and the use of it.
And people must believe it, they are damned
else.”
Intemperance of American Ladies.—
Miss Martineau it scorns accuses the ladies of
the higher circles in the United States of drink
ing wine to excess! This charge has been
contradicted from all quarters. We were par
ticularly pleased with the remarks of an En
glish clergyman of great attainments, now ed
iting a literary paper of high character in
Maine. He has traveled much in this country
and has had opportunities of observing, fully as
good as those of Miss M., and he states that
so far from the charge being true, the Ameri
can ladies arc particularly free from this vice,
and the ladies of no nation can bear compari
son with them in this respect.
Foreign Intelligence. By the last ac
counts the English Bankers were failing and
the artizans starving. The French were fiddling
and dancing in honor of some marriages in the
Royal family, and the Spaniards were cutting
each other’s throats for the sake of determin
ing whether a woman or man should play the
tyrant over them.
William the Fourth of England dead.
By a letter received here from Savannah on
I uesday last, we learn that this personage has
gone to the tomb. The character of William
was not such as to distinguish him from other
men, and to his croivn alone will he be indebt
ed for an insignificant niche in the temple of
fame. His youth w-as passed in a round of
follies such as were pursued by his more bril
liant brother the Prince Regent His latter
years have been more orderly, illustrating the
line—
“A youth of folly and an old age of cares.”
During his reign the work of Reform has
been commenced, but it owes nothing to his
friendship, all that has been effected should
be attributed to his fears. Though there will
be a great parade of grief anff Snoumers will
go about the streets,” we doubt whether much
real sorrow will be felt at his death, for
“Thus unlamented pass the proud away.”
Anew reign has commenced and a youth
ful female now' wields the sceptre of Britain.
A reference to history shows that the reign of
Queens has always been to the honor of that
realm, and “petticoat government” the best
fitted to those Islanders. With the exception
of Cromwell, no one has wielded royal power
in England w ho can be compared to Elizabeth,
and the reign of Anne has been the most bril
liant of modern times. We hope that of Queen
\ ictoria wdll far surpass in true glory all which
have gone before.
Indian War. The Jacksonville Courier of
27th tilt. makes no mention of any recent dep
redations, and we are inclined to think there
is no immediate danger of hostilities. Col.
John Warren has been appointed to command
six companies of mounted men, recently mus
tered into the service of the United States.—
We join with the Courier in deprecating the
removal of Gen. Jesup, and the assumption of
command by Gen. Macomb. The latter Gen
eral ought not .to peril his laurels won at
Plattsburgh, and such an arrangement might
materially interfere with his literary labors.
From Buenos Avers. Another general
war is breaking out among the mushroon Re
publics of South America. President Rossas
| of the Argentine Republic has declared war
! against Santa Cruz, the Dictator of Bolivia
I and while they play the principal characters,
j other Generals play the meaner parts. When
| will this nest of hornets be pacified.
Explosion. A w'oodcn building was blow-n
up in New' York on the 21st ult. by the acci
dental explosion of a quantity of gunpowder
that had been carelessly placed in the store.
The building was occupied by a Mr. DeGroff
fora gun-smith’s shop and dwelling. Mr. DeG.
anti his wife, (the latter at the time being in the
second story) were buried beneath the ruins.
Ilislife is despaired of, he being badly burned
and mangled—his wife had her leg broken and
received other injuries, from which she will
recover. Three men were in bed in the gar
ret at the time of the accident, who were
all throw n out, up to the ceiling, but none of
them injured.
Importa nt Rumor. It is said that the Ya
zoo, from N. < Means, arrived here, spoke the
Pocahontas, from Liverpool, bound to Philadel
phia, off'the mouth of the Delaware,from w-hicli
source it was stated that, in addition to many
failures in England, the Bank of England hall
stopped specie payments. We give the rumor
as we had it The Yazoo is at Quarantine
Ground ; the passengers are up.
We take the above from the N. York Star.
There was a passenger of the Yazoo in the
steamer Lexington from New- York city, who
came to this city and gave us direct informa
tion on this subject The Pocahontas was
spoken, as stated above, and its Captain assert
ed, positively, that the Bank of England had
suspended specie payments. The news is al
most too favorable to our country to be true ;
and we can scarcely believe that the suspen
sion has taken place, in spite of the probability.
However, on the reception of the news at New
York, silver fell to 7 per ct. and gold to 8 per
cent. [Boston Herald.
Habersham Iron Works and Manufac

cently formed under the above title, for the
purpose of extending the operations of the
valuable property hitherto known as “Stroup’s
Iron Foundry,” and situated on the Souquec
river, about three miles from Clarkesville.—
The stock was readily taken up by gentlemen,
whose enterprise and discernment, cannot fail
to render it highly profitable.
With water power and natural advantages,
considered superior to any in the state, this
establishment is highly situated in the most
delightful and salubrious climate of the south
ern country, at the same time that its proxim
ity to the route naturally indicated for a branch
of the great Western Rail Road, will always

to a literary banquet, more than two fold ac
cessible ; we gave, and shall continue to give,
in the quarto library, a volume weekly for two
cents a day ; we now propose to give a volume,
in the same period, for less than four cents a
week, and to add, as a piquant seasoning to the
dish, a few columns of shorter literary matters,
and a summary of the news and events of the
day. We know, by experience and calcula*
tion, that we can go still further in the matter
of reduction, and we feel, that there is still
verge enough for us to aim at offering to an
increasing literary appetite, that mental food
which it craves.
The Select Circulating Library, now as ever
so great a favorite, will continue to make its
weekly visits, and to be issued in a form for
binding and preservation, and its price and
form wilFr lmain the same. But wc shall, in
the first #oek of January, 1837, issue a huge
sheet, of the sire of the largest newspapers of
America, but on very superior paper, also, fill
ed with hooks, of the newest and most entertain
ing, though, in their several departments of
Novels, Taless Voyages, Travels, &c., select in
their character, joined witli reading, such as
should fill a weekly newspaper. By this meth
od, we hope to accomplish a great good; to en
liven and enlighten the family circle, and to
give to it, at at expense which shall be no con
sideration to any, a mass of reading, that, in
book form, would alarm the pockets of the pru
dent, and to do it in a manner that the most
shall acknowledge “ the power of
concentration can no fartiier go.” No book,
which appears in Waldie’s Quarto Library, will 1
be published in the Omnibus, which will be an
entirely distinct periodical.
Terms. Waldie’s Literary Omnibus, wjll
be issued every Friday morning, printed on {&.
per of a quality superior to any other weekly
sheet, and of the largest size. It will cqgtain,
Ist. Books, the newest and the best that can
be procured, equal every week, to a London
duodecimo volume, embracing Novels, Travels,
Memoirs, Ac., and only chargeable with Kews
paper postage.

of books, and information from “the world of
of every description.
3d. The news of the week, concentrated into
a small compass, but in a sufficient amount to

political and miscellaneous, of Europe and A
inerica. '
The price will be TWO DOLLARS to clubs
of five subscribers, where the paper is forward
ed to one address. The clubs of two individ
uals, FIVE DOLLARS ; single mail subscrib
ers, THREE DOLLARS. The discount on
uncurrent money will be charged to the remit-,
ter; the low price and superior paper, absolute-'
ly prohibit paying a discount.
O’On no condition will a copy ever be sent ,
until the payment is received in advance.
As the arrangements for the prosecution of
this great .literary undertaking, are all made,
and the proprietor has redeemed all his pledges
to a generous public for many years, no fear of
non-fulfilment of the contract can be felt, The
Omnibus will be regularly issued, and will
contain, in a year, reading matter equal in a
mount to two volumes of Rees’ Cyclopedia, for
the small sum mentioned above. Address (post'
paid,) ADAM WALDIE,
