The Canal. With great pleasure we an
nounce that this work is now let out to Messrs
F. & A. Pratt, the enterprising contractors
of the Savannah Hail Road. These gentle
men have been engaged in this kind of busi
ness for many years, having been employed
on the New York and Erie Canal. They are
under contract to complete the Canal by the
first of January next. We refer our readers
to the advertising columns for the proposals of
these gentlemen to employ negroes. They
have already engaged a large numbered in a
few days they will commence the work.
For the Brunswick Advocate.
Mr. Editor: It may b*necessary to the
future fame of the beautiful and fleet boat ‘Car
oline King,’ to state that in her contest against
the ‘Thomas F. Bryan,’ on the 16th, for the
club purse, she was rowed under two dis
advantages, namely,—the tide, and having tw o
oars less than the Bryan. The latter boat is
an acknowledged Jirat rater, and was fully ex
pected to take the lead with eight oars against
six. The Caroline King was merely entered'
to give the Thos. F. Bryan an opportunity of
showing her greatest speed, to afford sport to
the spectators, and to prevent her from walk
ing deliberately o’er the water unattended, as
she must have done, had not the fair Caroline
given chase to her. I here assert that the
Caroline King, although somewhat in the rear,
gave a convincing proof of her great speed, in
running so close against such odds, and such
a boat as the Thos. F. Bryan. The friends of
the Caroline, still hold her an overmatch for
any craft that can be found with six and six
oars. , BRIM. ,

The average value of silk exported to the

A useful discovery. The difficulty
of removing horses from a stable or house
when on fire, is well known. The sight
of the fire seems to have a paralyzing ef
fect, and they will remain immoveable in
their tracts till consumed by the confla
gration, in spite of every effort to lead or
drive them out of the reach ofthe flames.
In this way, thousands of noble animals
have been sacrificed, when Y> save them
would have been an easy matter, if this
singular infatuation of the animal could
be overcome. The manner ofdoing this
has, we understand, lately been discover
ered. A writer states, that horses may
be brought out of a stable on fire by
merely throwing over their backs the sad
dle or harness to which they have been
accustomed. They will then be led out
as docile and tractable as usual. This if
certainly a useful discovery, and well
worth the attention of every reader.

The following paragraph in relation to the
lost Internal Improvement Bill, we copy from
the Columbus Sentinel and Herald:
Posterity, it is said, always renders up
justice to the past in proportion as it has
been merited; if so, we most cordially
pity those members of the Legislature
who so strenuously opposed the great In
ternal Improvement Bill upon its appear
ance in the Senate. The bill had passed
the Representative branch—to the praise
of that body be it spoken—but by a sys
tem of management unworthy of so dis
tinguished a body, it was not put upon its
final passage in the Senate until the last
night of the session, and then at a very
late hour ! Many of the members had
“taken French leave,” others were fret
fully anxious to “close the concern,” a
few, we were informed, who had been
friends of the bill, “jumped Jim Crow” at
the thventh hour, and the last and clos
ing scene of the exhibition with which
our eyes were astonished, was a grand
display of “still vaulting by the whole
company when the measure was swept
by the board, which, if passed, would have
exalted Georgia to the highest pefint of
prosperity, and ranked her proudly a
inongst her most flourishing sisters! —
Whether our State shall live and flourish,
or whether she shall lanquish and die,
undoubtedly depends upon the progress
of that great system of Internal Improve
ment already begun. Shall it be foster
ed, sustained and encouraged, or shall it
be abandoned? We trust that hereafter
this question will be carried up to the bal
lot box, throughout the State, arid there
let the voice oj independent freemen speak
new life into the system of Internal Im
provement, and bid it go on prospering
and to prosper.
The prosecution of the great State en
terprize to connect our waters w’ith the
Tennessee, we trust, has been ensured
by the bill passed on that subject. It au
thorizes the disposal of State scrip, at an
interest not to exceed six per cent., and
to the amount of half a million a year, to
prosecute the work. It is a great a no
ble work, and when accomplished will
renovate the State, and turn old Georgia
young again. Success to the w'ork.
[Milledgeviile Recorder.
On the last night of the session of the Leg
islature, the opponents of the Internal Im
provement Bill, contrived by reason of the
the thinness of the Senate to defeat it. The
measures it proposed are only delayed, not
crushed; but we regret by this unwise policy,
that Georgia is still doomed by the tardiness
of her Legislature to remain behind her sister
States in the great work of developing her re
sources, and increasing the value of the prop
erty of her citizens. The great objection to
the bill seemed to be, that provision which au
thorised surveys of contemplated works of In
ternal Improvement to be made at the expense
of the State under the direction of the Com
missioners. In projecting an entire system,
of course many of its features will startle by
their novelty. When the Erie Canal was
planned by the master mind of a Clinton,
there were to be found far seeing statesmen
who pronounced the whole scheme a wild and
impracticable project The early' experiments
of Fulton in steam navigation were derided
and laughed at and it was only when the
steamboat moved ahead in spite of adverse
wind and tide, that the sneerers allowed it
sailed better than could have been expected!
The plan originally proposed by Mr. King
of Glynn, with some immaterial modifications,
met our decided good will; but when the bill
to carry it into effect was diluted into three
separate bills, we argued for the project but lit
tle success. Like another “Experiment,” the
more it was tinkered, the more it became no
better, until finally it was prostrated by the
open assaults of its decided opponents, and
the malicious support of pretended friends.
Complaint, however, is of but little avail.
Our object in these remarks was to suggest
to the people of Georgia a mode of applying
an effectual remedy to this backwardness, on
the part of their Representatives. It is unde
niably true,that the Legislature of Georgians far
behind the spirit of our citizens. \V T oulditnot
it not be a good plan to hold Internal Improve
ment meeting among the people? Let them meet
and deliberate, and lay the result of their de
liberations before their Representatives thro’
the press of the State. Make it a matter of
record, that the doubter and the popularity
seeker may have a beacon to guide their devi
ous way.
To no portion of our people is the facility of
transportation a subject of so much import
ance as to the people of Baldwin County, and
we would suggest to them the propriety of
holding an early meeting on this all important
subject [Milledgeviile Journal.

PROPOSALS
For publishing, by subsenption, a work to be
entitled
Flora Georgiensis.
THIS will be, both a Grammar and Diction
ary of Botany ; —presenting, first, Vegeta
ble Physiology, and, second, a minute and ac
curate description of every plant yet discovered
in Ge6rgia, together with its medicinal or nox-'
ious properties—its English name—its emblem,
language, &c. Such a work is much needed,
at this time, in our Southern Institutions. We
have no text book in Botany, calculated to
render the science attractive-. Such as we
have, are nothing more than a few disconnected
facts in Physiology, or a dry desc iption of a
few leaves, roots, flowers, &,c. all tending to
excite disgust rather than taste. Students
should, as soon as possible, be inducted into the
practical part of the science—it is that only
which can inspire them with enthusiasm in the
prosecution of their researches. We have nev
er known a profound botanist, made so, by
delving for months over pages treating of sap,
alburnum, cambium, and the like. This work
will teach pupils, first, the names of the classes
and orders in the Linnean system, the method
of analysing flowers; and, proceed next, to the
examining, collecting and arranging of them
into an herbarium. A love for the science be
ing thus implanted, it must and will increase,
and urge them on to further and further investi
gations.
We intend that our work shall be, at once, a
text book for schools—a pleasing companion
for ladies in the boudoir and saloon—a useful
friend and companion for gentlemen in their
travels, their daily rambles, &c. Finally, it
will be enriched with every species of informa
tion which can render such a work entertaining
and instructive.
We solicit the assistance of scientific gentle
men throughout the State, in furnishing us with
information concerning the names, locality and 1
habits of plants in their immediate vicinity.—
Such information will be gratefully and proper
ly acknowledged.
Postmasters are requested to act as agents in
receiving and forwarding us subscriber's names, ]
as early as the Ist November.
The work will contain from 5 to 700 pages, j
octavo, and be furnished to subscribers, in 1
boards, at $5 per copy. It will be issued dur- j
ing the next winter, provided the number of j
subscribers warrant the expense.
All Editors throughout the Southern States. \
friendly to the diffusion of scientific knowledge, j
who will insert this notice, and forward us a
copy of their paper, will be entitled to one copy
ofthe work. L. LATASTE,

A New Advertisement,
.1 .Yew Tear, and a .Yew Inducement, for sub
scribing to the Weekly Messenger!
THE cheapest and decidedly the most pop
ular Faiqily Newspaper in the U States,
with a circulat ion of many thousand subscrib
ers The American Weekly Messenger is
published every Wednesday, onheautil’ul white
paper, ofthe largest class, at $2 per annum, or
ten subscriptions for $lO.
Its contents are adapted to the wants of the
Farmer, Mechanic, Tradesman, Agriculturist,
Merchant and Manufacturer.
This Journal wag commenced on the first of
January last, and, without any previous effort
to herald its success, went rnto immediate and
rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent
ed popularity which attended its projection
that, in übout six months from the period it
was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand
names were embraced on its subscription lists!
which have been ever since constantly and
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
cede in extent and stability every other pub
lication which has existed in the literary world.
It is generally conceded that the contents of
the Messenger embraces as much origimal
mutter as any other periodical of the present
d;ly. The diffusion of useful and wholesome
information, with a view to the cultivation of a
correct knowledge of Polite Literature, is the
chief object at which it aims. Arrangements
have been entered into, by which the publish
er will be assisted in the editorial department
by the talents of three or four gentlemen of
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
introduce several important improvements,"
which will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this
Journal are well known throughout the United
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
recital ol the same. The season is approach
ing, liowevpr, when the reading public are ex
pected to make their selections for the next
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
lurnish a brief and explicit statement of our
terms, which we hope will prove satisfactory,
and be implicitly observed : *
A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail, postage
paid, will pay for ten copies of the Messenger
for one year ! A five dollar bill, forwarded by
mail, postage paid,-will pity for four copies for
one year ! Two dollars, paid- in advance, is
the price of an individual subscription for one?
year One dollar, in advance, will pay for a
single subscription for six months only»
• A five dollar note will pay one year’s sub
scription to the Weekly Messenger and also
the Gentleman’s Magazine, edited by YV. E.
Burton, Esq.
O ’Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled
to tlm full advantages of the liberal terms here
offered, must he made in sums of five’s and
ten s gif current Bank notes—any lesser a
morfnt, forwarded by mail, will be classed a*
long with individual subscriptions.
A premium of FORTY NOVELS, neatly
and appropriately bound, containing the pro
ductions t>f many of the celebrated writers of
the present day, #ill be presented to any Agent
forwarding forty subscribers, and the pay in
advance, as heretofore stipulated.
At the expiration of the term subscribed for
and paid by dluhs, the invariably be
discontinued, unless the advance money is for
warded previous to that time,aud the subscrip
tions renewed, in the manner above specified.
’lt will be a great saving to the publisher,
and facilitate the early mailing ofthe paper, if
the individual forwarding the sum required for
four, or ten, or more subscribers, when they
are located together, will allow the paCK<se to
