THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (6a.) —DEC. 27,1838.
Mr. Lyman is happy to announce lo the
readers of the Advocate his return to this city,
though not in season for the entire preparation
of the present number; The paper of the next
week and thereafter will be conducted under
his charge.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
We understand from F. M. Scarlktt, Esq.
Representative from this county, that the
Legislature will certainly adjourn this day t
without passing any bills in aid of Internal
Improvements except an appropriation in favor
of the Western and Atlantic Road. As near
ly as we can understand, this failure to pat
ronize and promote objects, of which the whole
State are in favor, is mainly to be attributed I
to Mr. Gordon and the Savannah party, who I
while demanding millions of direct appropria-!
tions and fifteen million banks to favor their!
own selfish views, were not willing to come
into any general scheme, which should advance
and benefit the whole State.
BRUNSWICK AND FLORIDA RAIL
ROAD.
The Baltimore American of the 10th inst.,
in copying an article from this paper relative
to the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road, and
the appointment of Moncure Robinson, Esq.
as Chief Engineer of the work, remarks as
follows:
The work here referred to is undoubtedly!
one of great importance. The harbor ofj
Brunswick, near the extreme southern corner (
of the Georgia coast, is said to be the very j
best on the southern seaboard, and the Rail
road will open a direct and rapid communica- 1
tion between it and the western, side of the
peninsula of Florida, from whence to Pensa-1
cola, Mobile and New Orleans, the inter- j
course is safe and easy for steamboats. The j
dangers and delays of navigation around the
Cape of Florida will thus be avoided, and I
trade and travel to a very large amount will i
avail itself of this new route between the j
North and South.
We are satisfied, however, that a still more
advantageous route than that just referred to
is to be found for a Rail-road across the pen
insula of Florida. By starting at a point on .
the St. John’s river, to which there is at all
times a safe and easy navigation for large j
steamboats, a Rail-road may be carried across
to the Gulf by a direct and favorable route of
about forty miles only. By means of this Road, |
in connection with a suitable steamboat line
plying between it and New Orleans and Mo-!
bile, on the one side, and by extending the
present direct line of steamboats between
Baltimore and Charleston to the St. John’s ri
ver, on the other, travellers could be conveyed
with ease and certainty in five days, or proba
bly less, between Baltimore and New Orleans.
We are firmly of the opinion, too, tliaba prop
er and united effort on the part of our citizens,
but forth to a moderate extent only, would be
the means of rendering Baltimore what nature
intended her to be—the great commercial
mart from which the South would draw its
supplies of foreign and domestic manufac
tures, in exchange for the staple products of
its soil.
For the favorable notice taken of this en
terprise and our harbor, in the above extract,
we are indebted to the editor of the American;
but in relation to his preference of a route from ;
the St John’s river across Florida, we take'
the liberty of submitting a few- rem* rks.
The most favorable route for the conven
ience and expedition of travellers and the U.
S. Mail, the choice is in a great measure con
fined to one of economy and speed. The
Brunswick and Florida Rail Road commences
at one of the best of the southern ports, at a
point on the Atlantic further west than any
one of reasonable length which can be made
between the two seas. It proceeds to the wes
tern terminus towards the best ports upon the
Gulf of Mexico and in a direct line towards
Mobile, New Orleans and Pensacola. From
this consideration it is plain that it must have
the advantage in speed over all other rival
routes as well as that it will eventually com
municate with, and unite all the best Southern
ports.
As regards economy, its advantages to those
unacquainted with the nature of the country
may not be so evident. But they will be read
ily appreciated by stating the facts that north
and middle Georgia are occupied by spurs of
the Alleghany mountains, so that no line of
rail road to the north of us can compete with
ours ; while to the south the broken and ab
rupt limestone formations of Florida render
severe grades, expensive constructions and
costly transportation as upon
the Northern routes, to say nothing of the
fact that the Florida country now and is like
ly many years to continue in possession of the
Indians. The line of the Brunswick and Flor
ida rail road passes between and avoids both
these difficulties. In no case do its grades
as surveyed and levelled exceed twenty feet
to the mile and for eighty-five miles it passes
upon a line as straight as can be protracted
by the best instruments with no grade so high
as ten feet to the mile.
(I
Ats to the navigation of the St. John’s river,
we will admit that the St. John’s Bar has
water enough for steamboats as now con
structed, although there is only some seven or
nine feet at low tides, and the bar an ever
changing one. But when boats for sea navi
gation are made as they should be, with a
greater draft of water and greater strength,
the case will be widely different. For some
important facts relative to the dangers of the
St. John’s Bar, we would refer to those ac
quainted with the operations in Florida for a.
few years past. And it is plain, without argu
ment, that a rail-road of so much importance
as that which connects the Atlantic and Mexi
can Gulf ought to have a terminus on either
sea where abundant water for all commercial
purposes can be found.
In order to show that others reason as we
do in this matter, it may be observed that a
careful survey was made some two years
since by direction of a company formed in
Boston, of a road from Jacksonville on the St.
John’s, crossing the Suwanee and ending at
St Marks. The route was found to be per
fectly practicable, but the design was aban
doned as soon as it was ascertained beyond all
I doubt that the Brunswick and Florida Rail
road was to be constructed.
LATEST FROM HARRISBURG.
Intelligence from Harrisburg to the 19th
inst has reached ns. The division between
the two branches of the Legislature still con
tinues. The Senate holds its regular sessions
and also two assemblies, each claiming to be
the House of Representatives. The Van Bu
ren branch of the House occupy the chamber '
of Representatives, and the Opposition meet
in the Supreme Court Room, which is also
in the Capitol. It is said, but be believe not j
upon very good authority, that the Senate will
recognize the Whig branch.
We apprehend that the division will con
tinue, at least till the inauguration of the gov
ernor elect, Gen. Porter, which will take place
early in January. Whether executive inter
ference will then be able to effect a settle
ment of these difficulties by reconciliation,
dictation or corruption, remains to be seen.
The Van Buren party arc in a very peculiar
and mortifying position in Pennsylvania,—
afraid, and indeed almost certain, of the defeat
of their candidate for Governor, many of the
party voted for the amendments of the Con
stitution, by which the Governor was de
prived of executive patronage. To their ut
ter surprise they succeeded by a very small j
majority in electing Gen. Porter, though the j
majority of the Legislature are Whig. This
now places them in an awkward and ridicu
lous predicament. Though their Governor
will occupy the chair, he has lost what “ the
party” everywhere so anxiously contend for, —
the patronage — thf. spoils of victory.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Our latest dates from Washington are to
the 17th inst. As usual, Congress do nothing
until after the Christmas holidays. Much
time is occupied in inflammatory debates upon
points of order, winch arise upon presentation j
of Abolition petitions, or of others indirectly i
alluding to that subject. In these Messrs.
Adams and Wise take prominent part. This
is deeply to be regretted in every point of
view, except one, that it prevents our legis
lators from making new laws, of which we
certainly have enough.
The appropriation bill providing for the pay
of members, and for the current expenses of
Congress passed the House on the Kith. The
Senate adjourned from the 13th to the 17th,
and the House from the 14th to the same
date.
" |
The Weather. Since the latter part of
November, we have experienced more cold
weather in this vicinity than is perhaps re
membered by any one, so early in the winter.
On Sunday last the wind blew strong from the .
North-west, and through the day and night it;
was extremely cold. Ice was found in the j
morning nearly an inchin thickness; water
froze in our bed-chambers, and many suffered
severely who were exposed to the inclemency ,
of the night The arrival of a schooner at
our wharves on Monday morning in a short
run from Charleston, with her decks and ropes
covered with ice, presented an appearance
never before witnessed here.—Our register of
the weather states variations in a week which
are quite unusual in this region.
Melancholy. —On Sunday evening last a
sail boat containing a party of four men and ;
three women, left this city for Cumberland j
Island, where they were going to spend,
Christmas. When they had arrived near the
rnouth of Jekyl Creek, it being dark, the boat
struck upon the marsh and immediately filled,
the sea making a complete breach over her.
With difficulty they succeeded in landing in
a wet state, where they were compelled to
remain through the night without shelter or
dry clothes, and with only what fire they could
make by breaking up two or three wooden!
trunks which they happened to have with
them. In the morning they succeeded in bail
ing out their boat and put back to this place,
where they arrived in the afternoon much ex
hausted from their exposure to the wet and
cold. One of the party by the name of Win.
M. Miller, we are sorry to say, was so badly ;
chilled, that he expired shortly after arriving
here. Mr. Miller was formerly from the State
of New York, but has resided for the last six
or eight months in this city.
THE OGLETHORPE HOUSE.
We are happy to announce that this elegant
and convenient Hotel is now in the excellent
keeping of Mr. Holman, long and favorably
known to the public as the enterprising and
obliging landlord of that large establishment
the Nahant Hotel, upon the sea const near
Boston. The mere announcement of this fact
will suffice to assure those who may visit this
. place, that they will find the greatest amount
I of luxury and comfort that can be expected in;
the best hotel.
BRUNSWICK AIWOCATE.
CARPENTERS ATTEND!
The buildings of this plnce are rapidly in
creasing. Within the last two months several
dwellings, stores and shops have been com
menced. The foundations of the Steam Saw
Mill are ready, and the superstructure will
soon be raised. For all these various build
ings many more carpenters are wanted than
are here at present. Twenty more good hands
we are informed by master-builders, would
find constant employment at high wages.
Union Candidate for Governor. At
the Convention of the Union party w hich as
: sembled at Milledgevillc on the 17th inst.,
j Gen. Charles McDonald of Bibb, was chosen
on the second ballot the candidate of the party
for Governor at the election next year.
Newspaper Change. Win. S. Rockwell
Esq. of the Georgia Journal, has disposed of
his establishment to James 11. 11. Washburn,
Esq., who will take charge of its columns on
the Ist February next, assisted by several gen
tlemen of distinguished abilities.
The Legislature on the 18th inst. elected
Messrs. Joel Crawford, Samuel Farris, and
Thomas Hamilton, Rail-road Commissioners, 1
and Messrs. James Troup, Samuel Mitchell,;
Isaac Rockcnbaugh, Dr. Holmes, and Clias
-11. Hopkins, Directors on the part of the State
for the Darien Bank.
Glynn Hussars. —This corps recently held
an election in this city, at which Win. A. 1
Howard was chosen Captain, Joseph Dubig-'
non and James Moore Lieutenants, and P. P. I
Gignilliat Cornet, to supply vacancies occa-’
sioned by the resignation of Capt. Couper,!
Lieuts. King and Stockton, and Cornet Oden. 1
We are glad to see this company re-organiz-
ing, and from what we know of the present j
officers and members of this corps, predict
that the Glynn Ilussars will continue to be'
an honor to our county and the State.
Such ungallant conduct as that mentioned
in the communication of “Philanthropist” is
certainly inexcusable to say the least; but as
we are left in the dark as to whom the author
refers, or even of the writer’s name, the article
cannot appear.
The Columbus Enquirer states that a gang
of horse thieves and negro stealers were ap
prehended in that city on the 13th inst. The
Grand Jury have found true bills against six
or seven of the gang for horse stealing, and
efforts were making to arrest others implicated.
One of the persons arrested, it is said, has
made confessions which is expected will lead
to a discovery of the incendiaries who set fire
to the Court House and Jail a short time since.
Several of the persons implicated as actually
firing tho court house are now confined in pri
son, and citizens have been called on to form
a guard at the jail to prevent a rescue.
It may possibly be in good feeling that the
editor ot the New York Emancipator, has for
warded to us a number of his paper. We
would advise the gentleman to distribute them
at home amongst his own clan ; at the South,
they are not wanted. We give this advice in
a two-fold point of view—the first is, that our
law prohibits the circulation of papers of this
description—the next is that should the editor
be consumptive, and change his residence
this way, he may justly meet with a rough re
ception verbam sat. The paper is returned.—
[Savannah Republican.
The Editor of the Emancipator has also for
warded to us a copy of his paper, but instead
of sending it back, we threw it into the stove
before leaving the po3t-office. We think he
had better distribute his paper where they arc
wanted, and not be lumbering up the mail
bags this way with them, as the only notice
that will ever be taken of them will be similar
to the above.
Anew ship of six hundred and seventy-five
tons burthen, called the Gen. Parkhill, was
launched at New York on the Bth inst. The
Herald says:—She is intended for a regular
packet between Florida and Liverpool, and
such has been the sensation created at the
South in consequence of her being the first
ship launched in accordance with the proceed
ings of the recent Southern Commercial Con
ventions, that the whole cargo has already
been engaged for the first voyage. Captain
Wilson intends to have her immediately rig
ged, and will sail hence for Florida in about
two weeks.
We cut the following paragraph from a
letter to the New York Courier and Enquir
er, by one of its Washington Correspondents:
Connected with the movements that are now
in progress, I will relate a pleasant little an
ecdote. Mr. Van Buren, son of the President,
is in the South. In a letter to his father, he
states, that while travelling in Souih Carolina,
he offered in payment a half eagle; that the
person to whom he made the offer, remarked—
that he knew but little about that kind of mo
ney, and would prefer a bank note. Young
Mr. Van Buren adds in his letter—“ when you
see Mr. Calhoun, tell him not to press his hard
money clause any further, for that such a cur
rency will not answer as well in his own
State as papeT.”
The Last of the Cherokces. —The Nashville
Banner states that the last detachments of
the Cherokee Indians passed through that
place on the 2d inst. They were in number
about eighteen hundred. It is apprehended
that they will suffer intensely from the cold,
ere they reach their new homes, particularly
if they prosecute their journey by land during
the winter. It has been suggested that they
will probably pitch their tents in the neigh
borhood of the Ohio River and wait for spring.
i Death of Com. ,\~cholson. —The Baltimore
American of the I3th inst. says—“ We are
pained to state that Com. J. J. Nicholson died
at his residence in this city yesterday evening
j about 7 o’clock, of apoplexy, after only a few
hours illness.”
It is said the hall of the Patent Office in
Washington City, will be the largest in the
world. The ceiling will be supported by more
than one hundred pillars. The portico will
cost $170,000.
j Pretty Good. —A western editor declares
| that some of the young women who pass his
| village in the arks, on the river, ‘are perfect
| divinities. He means, says a northern paper,
i ark angels.
\ The vote was taken on Saturday week in
J the Senate, on Mr. Echols Sub-Treasury Res
olutions, and lost, by a vote of 39 ayes, 40
; noes.
Gen. Charles Gratiot, Chief Engineer, U. S.
Army, was dismissed from service on the 7th
inst. by the President of the United States, on
the ground of an alleged defalcation to the go
vernment.
Thanksgiving Festival Extraordinary. —This
jubilee was celebrated at the Lunatic Hospi
tal, Worcester, Mass, in great style. The
Maniacs feasted on turkeys and mince pies,
and in the evening to the number of 70 <y 80
danced merrily in the great hall, to their own i
musicians. One of the most furious of the
lunatics led oft' the first waltz with Mrs.
Woodward, lady of the physician. The whole
affair had a most tranquilizing effect upon the
tenants of this establishment.
The defalcation of Mr. Price, U. S. Attor
ney for the Southern district of New York, is
supposed to amount to 8 or 900,000 dollars!
Naval.— Capt. Alexander Claxton has been
appointed Inspector of Ordnance and Ammn- j
nition for the Navy, vice Shubrick, ordered to
the command of West India station.
It is stated in the New Orleans papers that
over one hundred lives were lost by the recent
explosion of the steamboat Gen. Brown.
A Polygamist. —The Boston Herald says
that in Vermont lately, a Mr. Henry Lovell >
was convicted of having married a tenth wife, \
the other nine being still alive. He is a mar-!
rying man. j
Nearly the whole of the village of Wil- j
liamsburg, Ivy., near Maysvillc, was destroyed j
by fire on the 29th ult.
Sub-Trcasvrers' .Meeting in England.— Ro
binson has got out a capital ciricature of an
embrace in England between Swartwout and
Price. Swartwout has got a bag of 1,500,000,
and Price of 1,200,000. Sam says to Bill:
j “ Welcome thou pearl of wondrous Price,
The oracle of Tammany Hall ;
I hope you’ve got a wondrous slice,
Since I’ve in motion set the Ball.
ri~tIIE undersigned, land holders and inhabi- j
X tants of St. Simons Island, comparing the
present state of their society with what it lias j
been, feel deeply mortified at its present deg. j
rndation.
They have to lament that their former char- ;
acter for respectability has been impaired ; that
they have been exposed to the ridicule of the
community ; that their property has been de
teriorated in value, and that their happiness lias
suffered a shock of a most fatal character.
These are evils that have become so intol
erable, that a proper respect for themselves
and public opinion, and the instinctive princi
ple of self preservation, require that they
should, by a public declaration, shew their dis
approbation of those acts which have led to i
such a degraded state of society ; and that they ;
should endeavor to prevent a repetition of;
them, by legal corrtion, and the full moral ini ,
fluence of the whole community.
I hey would in the first place express their
unqualified disapprobation of the recent pub
lications in hand hills and newspapers of chal
lenges for duels, given and received in open j
contempt of our laws, conveyed in language so j
indecorous, and containing conditions so bar- i
barous and ferocious as to reflect disgrace on a
civilized community.
They would recommend that the members
of our society, who have been concerned in I
such publications, be prosecuted.
The late lamented renconter that took place
at Brunswick between Mr. John A. Wylly and
Doct. Thomas F. Hazzard. and which terinina- ;
ted in the death of the former, being now un
der judicial investigation, the decorous respect
due to the laws of the country prevents the un
dersigned from giving, at present, any declar
ation of opinion with respect to it.
They cannot however repress the expression
of their grief that by that act, one of their most!
respected citizens has been consigned to an un- ;
timely fate, and a blighting misery inflicted on 1
a most worthy family Consisting of ail aged |
and amiable lady and her daughters.
They cannot too pointedly advert to the fact,
that had the only Justice of the Peace on this
Island discharged his duty, such a misfortune
would not have happened. They therefore
recommend that he be prosecuted for mal
practice in office and neglect of duly; unless
lie previously resigns his commission.
They would notice the circumstance that'
strangers and aliens of doubtfnl character have
established themselves at Frederica, ami sub
sist by illegal trafic with slaves, and would re- ;
commend that they be prosecuted.
They would strongly express their indigna- ;
tion that strangers, aided by some members of
this community, have attempted to run up ■
lands set apart for useful public purposes, and j
held by public bodies under the authority of;
the State for a period far beyond that prescrib- 1
ed by the law.
They would particularly notice, that follow
ing so bad a precedent, a certain Mr*. Cather
ine Blue has made a sacriligious attempt to
run up the Church lands on this Island, vested
by the Legislature in the Wardens and Vestry
men of Chrilt’s Church; and which now are
and have been in the undisputed possession of
that corporate body for above thirty years. —
Such attempts to wrest from public bodies of
useful character, the endowments conferred J
on them at a remote period, being equally bold |
ami unjust, they recommend that all legal
means by suits against the trespassers, and the \
Surveyor, be resorted to in order to defrafthem. j
-And whereas it appears that society has be
come so depressed, that the Church bibles and
prayer books are no longer safe in our Church,
they Recommend their removal, and that of the'
pulpit and altar ornaments and the communion
cups, to some place of safety, until Mrs. Blue’s
survey is decided, and until the Rector re
turns.
i We, the subscribers, do hereby nominate
i and appoint John Couper. Robert Grant
j and James Goui.d, a Standing Committee, to
watch over and attend to the interests of our
Island, with power to call a meeting of the in
habitants whenever they may deem it neces
; sary. And we pledge ourselves to support
j them in all the legal prosecutions herein re
: commended.
We also request tlie above named Committee
' to forward, under their signatures, copies of
this expression of our feelings and opinions,
for publication in the Brunswick Advocate,
Savannah Georgian and Savannah Rcpubli-I
can.
