property, and for combined operations by in- j dividuals for importing directly from Europe into Southern ports, all commodities which may be wanted for the South and West, ami l which have heretofore been received chiefly thiough the Northern cities. In furtherance of this plan, it is in contem plation to make arrangements between the 1 Southern and European banks, for the estab lishment of mutual commercial facilities be- i tween merchants of both countries. Exneri enced navigators and merchants are of the opinion, that goods can be imported into . Southern Atlantic ports by pursuing the j Southern passage, and falling somewhat with in the truck of the trade winds, as cheap, and with as much expedition and safety as into | the ports of New York, Philadelphia, and Bal timore. If the plan for running steam ships, to and from Europe, shall answer public ex-: pectation, goods may be imported in twelve or fifteen days into Charleston, Savannah and Brunswick, and three more will bring them to the Tennessee River; a shorter time than it usually takes to bring them from the Northern cities to the West generally. Besides, on the Western and Atlantic Rail Road, and its! Southern branches, you w ill meet no impedi- i meats from high mountains, inclined planes, avalanches, ice or snow, abrupt curvatures,' and in no place encounter a stronger grade I than3o feet in a mile. The cities of Charles ton, Savannah, and Brunswick, have ad-1 vanced in health at all seasons for the last few years; chiefly arising from the drain ing of marshes, and the substitution of the , dry for the rice culture. Brunswick little known heretofore, and re cently brought into notice, is situated on a pe ninsula at the mouth of Turtle river, or what may more properly be termed an arm of the i sea, sixteen miles in length. There is, per haps, no town or city in North America, that combines more advantages for the erection of a great commercial emporium. With 24 feet of water on its bar, it has a safe harbor and good roadstead for shipping, which are pro tected by the island of Jekyl lying off the mouth of the river, from the severe easterly gales which frequently prevail on the Atlantic coast at certain seasons of the year. It will shortly be connected by a canal with the Al atamaha, which drains a large, and the finest part of Georgia, and in a few years by a Rail Road with the Gulf of Mexico, the Apalachi cola, and its important branches, the Flint and Chattahoochee. It lias a good ingress and egress, is without shoals in its neighbor hood, and scarcely requires any other pilotage than that whicji is afforded by the light house and buoys: and in three or four hours after a vessel spreads her sail, she is over the bar, and on the bosom of the great deep. Sit uated in the neighborhood of almost all the remaining live-oak in Georgia, and not far from that in Florida, ajid accessible to im mense forests of as fine ranging timber as is to be found in the world, it must become a considerable naval station and depot. From its peculiar peninsular position, and the features of the country in its vicinity, it is highly adapted for the erection and construc tion of strong military defences, both in front and rear. In a few years it will be approached from every direction both by land and water; no point of the Atlantic coast is the weath er milder in winter, or the sea-breeze more de licious or bracing in summer, and no place in the Union is more entitled to the appellation of the Montpelier of America. This is Bruns wick. About seventy-five miles to the east is Sa vannah, on a fine and navigable stream pos sessing many of the advantages of Bruns wick, and destined in a short time to reap her full share of the import and export business. Os Charleston, so well and so favorably known, it does not become me to speak, even if I were qualified, after the late residence among you of her able and distinguished citi zen and representative. It is understood to he the opinion of Col. Long, our able Engineer, under whose superintendence and direction the late reconnoisance and survey through the Cherokee country has been accomplished, that in three years after the commencement of the work on the Tennessee river, the rqad will be completed, (120 miles) to the eastern bank of the Chattahoochee; and I feel confident from what has already been done, that in two years more if not earlier, a connection will be formed to this latter point from Brunswick, Savannah, Charleston, West Point, and Columbus. All those circumstances then, must necessarily create a desire for legislative action on the part of Tennessee and Kentucky for the con tinuation of this road from the Tennessee riv er to Nashville, and from lienee to the Ohio in a direction for Lexington and Louisville, as well as some point near the mouth of the Wa bash, where it is understood several routes from the Lakes and other places will concen trate. It will also lead to the improvement of the navigation of the Tennessee, which, for its length, is the finest river in America. Fed from the highest mountains and the largest springs in the United States, it discharges a greater volume of water in the summer and full than the Ohio; and the improvements that will be made in the rocky beds of it and its important branches, will be permanent and lasting. When all this is effected, and effected it will be, what spectacle can be more grand and imposing than the connection of the Atlantic from three points, with the smooth and beauti ful river of the west, by the routes of 700 miles each, of the Charleston and Cincinnati, and the Western and Atlantic Rail Roads, and by these great thoroughfares themselves becom-' ing united at three points on their way. The first by the Charleston and Hamburg Rail Rond at Augusta. The second by the Iliwas rce Rail Road at or near Knoxville: and the third at Lexington or some nearer place in Kentucky. By this time, a, bill it is presumed, has passed the Legislature of Georgia, author- . ising the issue of State certificates to be loan ed upon certain conditions, to all companies incorporated for the construction of a turnpike, rail road, canal, or slack vvater navigation in any part of the State, and which certificates :ve to bear an interest of not more than six jier cent- and redeemable in not less than twenty ;ior more than fifty years. Upon these certi ficates the directors of the said companies arc to obtain loans upon the credit of the State, rom American or European capitalists. On lie part of Georgia therefore, with these addi tional means there can be no failure, so far as egards the speedy connection of her sea ports vith the Tennessee river, nor do I now enter *in any doubt of the progrees (pari passu) of te other great work to which I nave alluded, j toth of them, when completed, and passing * lrough and reaching some of the richest re , ions in the world will be insufficient to at-1 tend to the immense transactions, which must j grow up between these two great and interest ing portions of our confederacy ; and it will not he many years before a call will be made for a canal communication between the Ten ! nessee river and the southern streams; and which it is believed the water of the high Chat -1 tahoochee will chiefly afford. If these views are correct, and I can per i ceive no error in them, it follows, as a matter of Course, that North and East Alabama, al most every part of Tennessee, and a very con .siderahle portion of the west can, and will re | ceive two thirds, if not three fourths of their foreign and other supplies through theso south ern channels, as the safest, the surest, the j nearest, the chea|>est and the most expeditious, j There is much interesting detail that belongs to this subject, I deem it unnecessary on the : present occasion to enter into it, believing that even the condensed view which is presented, ! imperfect as it is, is more than was needed to i obtain from this government all that Georgia desires. DANIEL NEWNAN, Agent for the State of Georgia. Nashville, 20th Dec. 1837. TIIE NORTH AND THE SOUTH, j The Constitionalist quotes with deserved I censure the-following remarks appended by ! the Boston Courier, to a statement of the | wealth und resources of Massachusetts : “Let the honorable representatives in Con i gress, who are eternally prating about the val -1 tie of the products of the South, look at this [ subject, and consider whether it be advisable : to continue their taunts and reproaches against ! New England, or their vain-glorious blustering jin favor of their cotton and tobacco—as if noth- I ing else could be placed in competition with ! those productions.” The Constitutionalist, however, does not know the Editor of the Courier so w*ell as we do, or it would not handle him so gently. He was first brought into puWic notice by the editorship of the New England Galaxy, a paper which derived its interest from its abuse of pri vate character, until the individuals thus un cerimoniously dragged before the public sub scribed. Os course that paper soon became stupid when the abuse of those whose con cerns could interest the public, was silenced by subscription, and tlieu the Courier was es -1 tablished. It iias also maintained a much more respectable stand than its predecessor; but still the radical spirit of its conductor occa | sionally breaks out in ill-natured and injudi cious remarks, and prevents its attaining any considerable influence at the North. It would j be as unjust to make an estimate of public feel ' ing at the North, from the tone of the Courier, j as it would to consider that quarter of the coun try one grand Abolition Society from the in i temperate and constant ravings which a few | desperate fanatics so industriously circulate. ! OGLETHORPE BAY ANI) BRUNSWICK HARBOR. j We make the following extract from the | memorial of the citizens of Charleston to Con j gross, petitioning that Government would lo cate a Naval Depot at that place. We should make no very great objection that the prayer of that memorial should he I granted. It is true that the consent of Con gress to this measure, would be likqly to delay ; the interests of this place, as far as they are j concerned in the location of a Naval Depot, for some years. Still the advantages tint are i presented here in depth of water —abundance | of live oak timber —capacity and security of | anchorage and harbor—capability of defence i and salubrity of climate, are so great, that its j claims cannot for many years be overlooked ;by Congress, even should they now decide to locate a Depot at Charleston. With the interest and influence naturally i attached to so large and prosperous a city as I Charleston, it would be very strange if it . could not present claims, to secure the patron age of Government, almost too strong to be | resisted. Brunswick is still in its infancy, and as yet has neither population, influence or connexion,, which will enable it to compete with Charles- i ! ton. It can rely simply on its own merits and 1 the great superiority of its harbor, as ascer- 1 tained by Capt Stockton in 1828, and by Com- j modores Woolsey, Claxton and Shubrick, in 1831). The memorialists are mistaken in their j 1 statement “ that it has never been contended | that the depth of water at Brunswick is sufti- ! ! cient for frigates.” The Commissioners above , ° named in their report, state most distinctly that “ the average rise on the Brunswick Bar is six feet, which gives at high water on the bar twenty-four feet; sufficient for a frigate .” As to the stranding of the Porpoise, we have ' already spoken of it as an awkward affair, of ; j which a master in the merchant service would , have hpen ashamed. The Porpoise on arriving here got upon one I of the bars—we believe the south breaker, ! which runs out from Jekyl Island. That was j not to be wondered at. Any vessel arriving at the best harbor in the world, where there , were no pilots, would be very likely to touch 1 the bottom. On this occasion however the! Porpoise got off pretty easily. But after stay ing here nearly three months and exploring and sounding in every direction, in going out the hay she struck again and placed herself in the perilous condition set forth by the Me morialists. From it she was only rescued by r the loss of a part of her armament and by the assistance of the steamboat Dolphin. We re- 1 peat that this was the result of gross careless ness. Whether it be chargeable upon tho Commander or the Sailing Master of the vessel we know not, nor does it concern us. We beg the attention of our readers to the extract subjoined: ! “Os these, the most important is, that BRUNSWICK. ADVOCATE. the conimissioners, recently appointed to I explore the Southern coast, with a view ; to the locatiou of a Navy Yard, have cx- ! pressed an opinion favorable to the selec- j tion of Brunswick, in Georgia. As an offset to that report, on the part of thel Commissioners, your Memorialists would ( respectfully remind your Honorable Body,! that opinions, decidedly and warmly fa- [ vorable to Charleston, have also been ex- 1 pressed by commanders, at least as skilful' &l well informed as those,to ifhoin we have j just alluded in reference to Brunswick. In the reports of Captains Elliot and Kcar-i rtey, upon this point, as above stated, your Memorialists understand, and believe, that Commodore Barron, and a majority of our naval officers, cordially concur. As far as the opinions of naval officers, therefore, are Calculated to affect the deliberations of Congress upon this subject, they arc decidedly favorable to the selection of Charleston harbor. In addition to this, your Memorialists beg it may be borne in inind, that they only apply for the estab lishment of a Navy Yard of the secondary j class. Now it lias been abundantly prov ed, that for an establishment of that de scription, the Charleston Bar affords an ample depth of water, in addition to all the other advantages that have been enumer ated. And a sufficient depth of water, for I vessels of a smaller class, is all that has 1 been said in favor of Brunswick. Let it also be remembered, even as regards the comparative depth of water, that the ves- sel of war, the Porpoisr, in which the Commissioners visited Brunswick, was stranded at the North Breaker of Bruns wick Bar. The Porpoise, was rescueil from her perilous condition by the Steam Boat Dolphin, the captain of which pre sented a petition to Congress for remu neration for his services, accompanied by certificates from the officers of the Por- poise, freely admitting the extreme dan ger in which she was involved, and that they were indebted to the exertions of Capt. Pennoyer, the commander of the! Dolphin, for her preservation from de-! struction. These facts show conclusive-1 ly, that notwithstanding all that has been said of the depth of water at Brunswick, a brigofwar, a vessel of the very smallest class, may be stranded at her bar: a cir cumstance which has never happened to sloop or schooner, both of which are larg er, and of greater draft than brigs, at the bar of Charleston. But even, admitting that there may be a superior depth of wa ter at Brunswick bar, it has never been contended that it is sufficient for frigates, whilst the Charleston bar possesses all that is requisite for sloops Or schooners. In this point of view, then, these two bars are on a footing of equality, whilst Charleston possesses all the advantages over Bruns wick, in every other point of view, which may fairly be predicated of a large com mercial city, in comparison with a place, having little or no population, and on which it may be said, without exaggera tion, that a town or city yet remains to be built. And, if such is the equality of Charleston with Brunswick, in relation to depth of water, and such the decided and obvious superiority of the former over the latter, in relation to every other desidera tum connected with the selection of a nav al site, assuredly there is no other posi tion on the Southern coast, between the Chesapeake and Florida, of which it is necessary to show that it possesses no requisite, for the purposes of a naval es tablishment, comparable to the extent in which the sayie is exhibited by the city of Charleston. To the reply of the Darien Telegraph to an article in our last, we have a few words to re join by way es explanation. We really thought lie did use the word ‘re markable’ in reference to the ‘sleeping break ers.’ The error, which we readily acknow ledge, occurred from the hurry and careless ness of quoting from memory. Editors often feel the truth of the proverb, “Needs must when the (feint drives,” and that is cur only excuse. If our neighbor in regard to this forcible expression, claims the ‘poetic licence’ why we will even give it up to him with the best grace. In ‘Bowditch’s Practical Navi gator,’ it would not be exactly the thing, but the nautical prose of the Telegraph shall have an exception. \Ve have often admired his vigorous imaginative power where Bruns wick was his theme. It carries him on a strong pinion quite beyond the bounds of so ber reality into the regions of romance. We would not on any account, detract one grain from the interest of his articles, by making them one scruple more prosaic and correct. With regard to the Porpoise getting ashore, the Telegraph w ill .find our views stated in an other article appended to the Charleston me morial. The clumsiness we spoke of, was not that of striking when she first arrived at this port, which as yet has no pilots,—but that of getting on to a well-defined bar after she had been here three months exploring and sounding and by the side of which there is a deep chan nel half a mile in width. It is true, mer chantmen have struck the bar, but it was upon! their first visit, and without pilots. No vessel has, however, struck any bar more than six , miles from the light; and for the simple rea son that the bar docs not extend farther. If it did so extend to the distance of ten or twelve miles and beyond view of the lighthouse, as has been stated, vessels from and to ports to the South of this, would constantly strike up- ! ou it, as they may be seen passing and re-pass ing in clear weather, at all stages of the tide. ! The Telegraph says, our l tofl tauider' is se- i rio-comic. The Dramatist may well be morti- j fied to find his tragedy laughed at and mistaken I for comedy. We assure the Telegraph that j if we were always as serious as when (writing ; the paragraph alluded to, onr life might be a short one, but it w ould be any tiling but merry. We read in the Darien Telegraph of the, 20th inst., an article relating to Brunswick signed ‘Truth.’ We Have not room to re-i print it, this week, but shall do so in onr next. It contains a good deal of ‘truth’ and of good i and correct reasoning. But we confess we j dislike the tone of this article exceedingly.; The strictures upou Savannah and Charleston j meet with no sympathy in us. “Save us from! our friends,” we may well say with the Span- J iard. Those friends who would build up: Brunswick by detraction of other %>uthern ! Cities take, to say the least, a very injudicious course. Beside, they stand ou ground alto gether false. The growth’of a large city here, never will, in fact, injure Charleston, Sa-, vanuah, or even Darien. TheSWest — the < ureat West — the miuhtv WEST, is the i mark for all of its. The southern cities are her seaports as soon as railroads can connect her with them. Three hundred wi.es nearer to the West than any northern port-, what competition shall we fear from them? Is there not in the West ‘ample room and verge enough’for us all. Charleston, great andj ' prosperous as she’ now is, shall rise yet higlt i cr: Savannah shall rise, and Darien too shall ; receive its share of prosperity. The race j j shall be to the swift, and the battle to the J ! strong, and the public may be sure that Bruns- j ! wick will not be distanced in this frityx’dy \ J competition. In a noble emulation for our own and our i country’s prosperity, let us go on. Jealousy and ill-temper can only make ourselves unhap ! py, and are, w hen arising from such a conten tion as this, as foolish as they arc superfluous. I » Canada.

SENATE chamber, Washington, Jan. 31, 1838. Messrs. Gales & Seaton: Gentle men: I find the columns oftho Intelligen cer of this morning’s-date, chiefly occu pied by the publication of the memorials, and other writings of Mr. John Ross Cos. remonstrating and protesting against the justice and validity of the Cherokee treaty of 1835. I am familiar with the contents oftiicsc papers, and am apprized of the plausibility of their contents, when exhibited in an tr parte form, and to per sons who are unacquainted with all the circumstances and facts Connected with the subject. I feel it a duty which I owe to the coun try. to my government, and to the indi viduals who are implicated by these publi cations, not to permit this delusive state ment to he handed down to posterity, and that in the columns of the Intelligencer, without an effort to counteract what I deem to he mischievous error, and to place the subject in its true light before the pub ' lie. i In order, therefore, that the readers of j the Intelligencer, new and hereafter, ns well as tlie historian who may collect ma ! teriah- from the preserved files of the news- S papers of the present day, may find the ; means of making up a correct decision on this subject, I have, therefore, respectfully ito request of you, as faithful journalists, | to publish in the Intelligencer, at as early j a day,as practicable, the reply of Elias i Boudinot, as republished by order of the Senate, being document, No. 121. This reply of Mr. Boudinot, although not writ ten as a reply to the particular papers now j published by you at the request of Mr. Ross, will, nevertheless, be found a most ! conclusive refutation of all the most im» | portant grounds of Mr. Ross, contained in the memorials and papers referred to, M rreover, Mr. Boudinot’s reply will ex hibit Mr. Ross in his true character, and give to the public the most clear and cor rect view of tlie subject under considera tion, of any publication which I have seen. Should any cause whatever prevent your | compliance with my request herein con tained, 1 then have so request that you will lat least publish this letter, in order that ; those who may read and examine the files ; of the Intelligencer after the present gener- I ation shall have passed away, may find this . letter as an index to point to a more correct ; history of facts than that which is coutain !ed in tlie memorials and papers of Mr. | Ross. j Moreover, other and strong considera tions tend to enlist all my sympathies in j behalf of the Cherokee people, and to | avert impending evils which threaten them, and to promote their present and permanent welfare. Therefore, I wish to weaken the mischievous influence which such publications as these memorials and papers arc calculated to produce, if permit ted to go to the world uncontradicted. These publications tend to affect the interest of th»Cherokee people most in ! juriously, by misleading and enlisting the j feelings of persons of character •uni influ | cnce, and thereby cause such persons to encourage the Cherokee people in a cou j tiuuance of their opposition to a treaty, up ion the execution of which their temporal salvation chiefly depends. 1 am, gentlemen, very respectfully your obeieut servant, WILSON LUMPKIN, of Georgia.
