INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. i
Soon after the last session of the last Leg
islature, it was found, upon the return of the
members to their constituents, that tiie policy
of Internal Improvements was so warmly and
universally embraced by all parties, that it be
came a matter of shame to the Union Party,
and to their presses, that the bills in patronage
of the Internal Improvements of the State had
been defeated by their means and influence.
The imputation of such defeat, though well
groundfed, was therefore deprecated in the
strongest terms, and in the disposition, which ;
then appeared universal, to adopt and support ;
a liberal system of Internal Improvements, it
was not considered material to enquire to
whom was to be charged the very limited ac- \
tion of the last Legislature in reference to the
great public works of the State. Moreover,
at that time, the embarrassed condition of the
currency, and its future prospects were so un
certain, as in some measure to justify extraor
dinary caution and delay in new engagements,
whether on the part of the public or of indi- j
viduals. But now that a return to specie pay
ments throughout the whole country, enables;
us to see our way clearly before us, —now
that the great abundance of money in England
and its low rate of interest, invites public j
loans and largo investments in public works,
we are, as well surprised as mortified, to per- j
ceive the course which some of the Union pa-1
pers have taken in regard to this matter. We j
find more particularly the Savannah Georgian j
and the Augusta Constitutionalist, with the 1
narrow and selfish policy, which they dare not
in plain terms avow, advocating large appro
priations to those works only, which will im
mediately benefit their own cities to the ex
clusion of all others, which would prove of ad
vantage to other sections of the State.
If there he a city in the whole country,
which of all others requires Government pa
tronage to support it, it is Savannah. In the
last eight years, which has been, for the most
part, a period of unexampled commercial pros
perity, while all other cities of the Union
have increased at least 50 per cent., Savannah
ims enlarged but .'53, but little more than keep
ing pace with the natural increase of bur
country, which doubles in population every
twenty-five years. She lias now on hand her
Savannah and Macon Railroad, and is moreo
ver intent upon reviving her Savannah, Ogc
chee and Alatamaha Canal. To these enter- 1
prises the individual enterprise of her citizens
has largely contributed, but it is well under
stood that they can never be completed w ith
out assistance from the State. Under these
circumstances, can she expect that such as
sistance should be granted, except upon the
same terms that will be extended to public
works in (he course of construction in other
parts of the State? She may he assured that
it will not, and that to adopt the narrow' policy
suggested by the Georgian, would be only to
defeat her own interests and objects.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
We give the following statements from the j
National Intelligencer, of facts contained in
the report of Senator Ruggles of the New-
York Legislature. From this most able doc- 1
ument we made large extracts at the time of
its first publication in March last. The cir
cumstance that all the most sanguine expecta
tions of the projectors of the great public
works of sixteen years since, have been so
much more than realised, should render the
opponents of the modern schemes cautious,
lest they should find themselves in the disa
greeable and disgraceful predicament of the 1
enemies of Dewitt Clinton, who persecuted
and opposed him during his whole life, but
have since been obliged, in deference to pub
lic opinion, to retract their former obloquy and
abuse, and to adopt, with an appearance of
cordiality, his policy of internal improvement,
which has proved so beneficial to the State,
and has, more than any other single oirctim
stance, secured the city of New \ork in its
position as the commercial Metropolis of the
Union.
The great project of connecting the
waters of the Hudson with those of the
lakes by means of a canal was first brought
forward by some eminent members of the
Federal party, of whom Gouvernf.ir
Morris may be mentioned as the most
conspicuous. He was derided by the en
emies of the project for predicting that the
canal would bring down, within twenty
years of its construction, 250,000 tons
annually. In 183 G, eleven years only
after its completion, it brought down 697,-
347 tons, and the whole amount of ton
nage of that year which passed on the ca
nal, descending and ascending, exceeded
1,300,000 tons.
We mention this to prove either what
limited views the enemies of this measure
I entertained of its utility, or what a perfidi
j ous part they acted when they combined to
prevent its accomplishment, in order to
get the resources of the State into their
own hands.
In 1821, the Comptroller of the State sent
in an estimate, that, for the ten years suc
ceeding the completion of the canals then
authorized by law, the tolls would amount
annually to 150,000. This estimate was
ridiculed; hut, in 1820, the tolls, outstrip
ping all calculations, rose, for that year
alone, to 8702.000; in 1830, the tolls and
auxiliary funds had accumulated sufficient
ly to enable the Canal Commissioners to
provide for the extinguishment of the
whole of the canal debt, and this within
nine years of the period when Mr.
Wright, in his official situation of chair
man of the Canal Committee, had assert
ed his doubts of its ever being done until
direct taxations was resorted to.
State Loans. We observe in the late ac
counts from Europe that the late Massachu
setts loans meet with particular favor in the
London Market, from the circumstance that
they are redeemable in London, and the cer
tificates are drawn in Sterling currency, in
stead of in Dollars. Wc presume that the fu
ture commissioners of loans will pursue this
course, and thus facilitate the negotiation of j
loans in the English market. This loan was
made in aid of the Western Railroad, which
is to connect Bot.ton with Albany, and so with
the great chain of public works in New York,
and with the far west. With what perfect
ease, facility and security a State can con
struct the largest and most important public
works, by the mere loan of her name and
credit, may be seen by the following extract
from the Boston Advertiser:
Wo understand that the stock, created at \
the last session, so far as it lias reached Lon- I
don, lias been sold at 3and 4 percent, advance, ■
principally at 4 per cent, advance. This, ad- j
ded to the premium of the exchange on Lon-1
don, will make an aggregate of 11 per cent., j
which (agreeably to the provisions of the act);
are to constitute a sinking fund, and to be paid |
as such, into the hands of the treasurer of the j
commonwealth.
This sinking fund, augmented every year, j
by its accruing interest, and by l per cent, on
the w hole loan of $2,100,000, to be paid annu
ally, by the Western railroad totltn treiuiurer
of the commonwealth, will be more Hum suf
ficient to pay off the whole amount of loan, by
the time it becomes due.
Thus will the legislature of Massachusetts of
1838, have caused the Western Railroad to be
built, in the shortest possible time:—have oc
cupied, usefully, a great mass of idle labor; —
and have created, by their skill, a great pro
portion of the funds to accomplish this great
enterprise;—and have done all this without
any expense or risk to the state.
NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION.
The result of the late elections for the mem
bers of the Legislature, are not yet correctly
ascertained, says the Fayetteville Journal of
the 22d inst. Enough is known, however, to
make it certain that the Van Buren party
have in that State, as well as in so many oth
ers at the recent elections, met with a change
in the tide of their prosperity. From the re
turns already received, the Administration
have lost to such a degree as to insure a ma
jority of 1 4 at least to the Opposition, and
Gov. Dudley’s majority is about 15,000.
GEN. JESUP'S REPORT ON THE FLOR- 1
IDA WAR.
The number of Indians and negroes alto- ;
gether, who surrendered or were taken by the
army, from the 4th of September, J 837, until I
let! Florida, amounted to nineteen hundred and
seventy eight, twenty three of whom escaped,
leaving nineteen hundred and fifty actually se
cured; and l estimated the killed at thirty-five,!
though 1 am confident, from the admissions of
the chiefs, that with those who died of their j
wounds, the number of killed w as much great
er. Os this number killed and taken, the war
riors, or those capable of bearing arms, exceed
ed six hundred.
From the time I commenced operations in
December, 183li, to the 4th of September, 1837,
the number of Indians and negroes killed and
taken by the different detachments of the ar- 1
my, were equal to about four hundred; Aver a j
hundred of whom were warriors or men capa- j
ble of bearing arms.
It will thus be seen that during the whole 1
period of my command in Florida, tiie Indians j
and negroes taken, with those who voluntarily
surrendered, amounted to nearly twenty-four
hundred, over seven hundred of whom were
warriors.-
! The villages of the Indians have all been
destroyed: and their cattle, horses and other
stock, with nearly all their other property, tak
en or destroyed. The swamps and hammocks
j have been every where penetrated, and the
j whole country traversed from the Georgia lino
, to the southern extremity of Florida; and the
| small bands'who remain dispersed over that
extensive region, have nothing of value left
but their rifles.
These results trifling as they are, compared
! with those of the Creok campaign, and with
! public expectation, are greatly beyond what
we had any right to hope, v lien we consider
j the nature and extent of the country which
; has been the theatre of operations, and our ut
ter ignorance of it, even when we commenced
the last campaign. Nothing but the untiring
devotion of both officers and soldiers to their
; duties,.and the energy and efficiency of the
j different branches of the staff could have en
abled me to overcome the difficulties which
surrounded me, so fur as to accomplish what
| has been done.
If our yperations have fallen short of pub
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
! lie expectation, it should be remembered that
we w'ere attempting that which no other ar
; mies of our country had ever before been re
| quired to do. I and my predecessors in com
j mand were not only required to light, beat and
j drive (he enemy before us, but to go into an
| unexplored wilderness, and catch them. Nei
ther Wayne, Harrison, nor Jackson, was re
| quired to do this; and unless the objects to be
I accomplished be the same, there can be no
ijust comparison as to the results.
I have the honor to be,
Sir, very respectfully,
Your ob’t servant,
THOMAS S.JESUP.
To the lion. J. R. Poinsett,
Secretary of War, Washington.
The above is the conclusion and summing i
up of Gen. Jesup’s report upon the last Flon-,
da campaign, and includes the material results ;
of his operations during the last winter and ■
spring. It will be perceived, that they are as ]
far from being satisfactory to himself, as to
the public, and that they do not, in any degree !
j countenance the statements which have been
so often reported, upon very insufficient au
thority, that the war is nearly concluded.
This report tends, moreover, to shew the utter
inefficiency of the expensive and unwieldy ar
mament, which has been brought into the
'field against the light and roving bands of In
dians, and cannot fail to suggest to all ac
quainted with the facts of the w'ar and with !
the nature of the country, how much less ex- 1
pensive and more efficient the troops of the !
country under an able commander, would I
prove, than any means that has yet been
adopted by our Government. It is the men;
whose plantations and firesides are in danger,
wife feel the deepest stake and interest in j
their preservation. It is these very men too, 1
whose active habits of life, whose enterprise
in settling anew country, whose long resid
ence in the neighborhood of Indians, and ac
quaintance with their habits particularly qual-1
ify them for the successful pursuit and termin
ation of this protracted war.
We are happy to believe the reports, which
we have heard, tlmt the Government are at
last alive to these truths, and that a negotia
tion is now in progress with Gen. Charles
Floyd, who recently so much distinguished
himself by his able and successful command
in the Cherokee country, by which a portion,,
if not the whole, of the campaign of the |
ensuing season, w ill be entrusted to his j
charge, to be conducted upon such princi
ples as to his experience and judgment
shall seem best.
COL. NISBET’S LETTER.
The following is the conclusion of Col.!
Nisbct’s letter, in which he avows himself j
m favor of the Sub-Treasury system. Notwith
standing his heterodoxy upon this point, it will
be seen from it, how little lie favors the gen
eral principles of the Yan Buren party.
In conclusion, allow me to say, that I
belong neither to the house of York or of
Lancaster. M y principles will not permit
me to support either Van Buren or Clay.
The latter I admire greatly, as one of the
pure and consistent —a generous, gifted
noble man. But he is a Tariff man—an
Internal Improvement man—a Hank man
—a lat i t rid in a r inn: as such, he may not
expect the support of a State Rights man.
.Mr. Van B uren, to say nothing about the
long, long catalogue, advised and support
ed tlie Proclamation and the Force Bill.
That is enough.
1 shall he most willing to yield my hum
ble support to any gentleman, whom, at a
proper time, the State Rights party may
designate for the Presidency.

FEVER IN CHARLESTON.
IVe regret to learn from the Charleston
Courier of 22d and 25th inst. that the fever
has made its appearance in Charleston, and
has indeed been known to exist there since
the 10th inst. The Mayor, however, does not
officially announce it until by his proclama
tion of the 25th inst. The only facts that we
can ascertain, is that stated by the Courier,
“that many of the cases’havc been of a viru
lent character, and fatal in their termination.”
We find no report .from the Board of Health
of the number ol deaths and the extent of the
disease. Such ill-advised caution and con
cealment of the exact extent of the danger,
serves rather to exaggerate than to allay fears.
another column will be found the
I record of a meeting lately held at Darien in
relation to the paper published at that place.
We have been frequently asked to give an ac
■ count of the causes that led to the late suspen- j
sion of that print. We can only say ghat we have
! been told that it arose from the united opposi
tion of many individuals, who, like our fore
fathers, conceived themselves-aggritrCed by
I “a long train of abuses,” were about to resort
to the forcible “Right of Revolution.” We !
! profess ourselves as jealous of “the liberty of
the press” as any one can be; but while advo- !
eating its liberty, we cannot consent to de
fend its licentiousness.
A newspaper is the presence chamber of
| the public. It is no more fit or respectful to
I introduce therein, the private character or do
! mestic concerns of private individuals, who
neither place themselves, nor are placed in a
public position, than it would be to comment
upon them at a meeting of their fellow citi
zens. And who would violate rules
of decorum so manifest and obvious, can hardly
complain, if lie meets with the same reward of
i forcible ejection in the one case, that would bo
unanimously awarded to him in the other.
SAVANNAH AND ALATAMAHA CA
NAL.
We are happy to see that this project
which has so long slumbered, is again revived,
j The writer in the Georgian, who speaks ol
| the Brunswick Canal to that river, as through
i a quicksand country, w ill he happy to learn
that the difficulties of excavation here, are no
! greater than must be encountered between
Savannah and the Alatamaha, the formation
j of both sections of country being of sand and
precisely the same; and which, afler being
drained, can be very easily excavated.
NEW STATE RIGHTS PAPER.
Cor.. A. 11. Pemberton, late the accom
plished Editor of the Augusta Chronicle, the
extensive circulation nf which print proves its
appreciation by the public, has issued propos
als to publish at Columbia, S. C., anew paper,
to be called the “South Carolinian.” This
new print as we perceive by the proposals,
w ill advocate the Sub-Treasury system, and
the entire divorce of Bank and State.
Actual Resumption. All of our city
banks,says the Cincinnati Whig,commenc
ed paying specie for all their notes on the
7th inst. The resumption did not create
any special excitement, nor was there any
unusual demand for specie. It was effect
ed without any parade, and as a matter j
of course. The city of Cincinnati enjoys
the honor of having led the way in the west j
in the resumption, while, by anticipating;
by a full week the day agreed upon, the
banks have proved their ample preparation
and ability to pay specie. As might be
expected, when the banks all pay specie,
no person demands it except for special
purpose. [Charleston Mercury.

We, the inhabitants of the County of Mc-

Mr. MacAkiii.il to resume his Editorial du
ties, and to re-issue his paper, under the full
assurance, that we will, to the utmost extent

of his personal and his Editorial rights. [This
Besulutnin was rejected by a large majority.]
