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 BRUNSTOfIC ADVOCATE. 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. I have the honor to be Your frignd and fellow citizen, THO. BUTLER KING. D. W. Lewis, Esq. Athens, Ga. 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 turing Company. A company has beeii re 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 | insure ready sales for its productions. The j iron ore is inexhaustible and of the richest kind, yielding, it is said, two-thirds of its ! weight of pur© metal. The castings have I been examined, and pronounced of the first ! quality. The establishment at present includes j tho Foundry, Saw and Grist Mills, and about 3,000 acres of well timbered land. The com pany has in contemplation, the addition to the iron works of a rolling machine and a nail fac tory, also the erection of an extensive cotton factory. We rojoice that the spirit of internal im provement is abroad in our land, and wc hail every effort to develope the resources of our State, ms the omen of better times. Wc en tertain no doubt that the Habersham Iron Works and Manufacturing Company have em barked in an undertaking that will be not only highly lucrative to themselves, but also a great convenience to the upper section of the State.

It was one of the great objects of “Waldie’s Library,” “to make good reading cheaper, and to bring Literature to every man’s door.” This object has been accomplished; we have given to books wings, and they have flown to the up permost parts of our vast continent, carrying society to the secluded, occupation to the lite rary, information to all. We now propose still further to reduce prices, and render the access 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.
