Under such cir- K cunistances, we might afford to lose a I few hundred, and then more than dou- I worthy friends aforesaid. I JSftrnct of Hletter from a gentleman in I iMohile, to his friend in this cily, da rn : < iec * ■ ' ; “Mobile, July 2rtli, loir. I If ear Sir, I, I The Ltuids, advertised to be sold I 4t Milledgcville in August ensuing, are f Situated from about 40 miles above Fort Claiborne, on the Alabama River: ami I bordering thereon, to die Indian line, a /few miles above Foit Jacroon. Oi the I /general quality of the land, I can say but I /jittjc from personal observation, but, I ifroin information obtained from persons I / that hare travelled through it, there can I / be but little doubt but there is a large ■ / portion of valuable land, and what uuy 1/ be termed first rate. There is, however, I a large quantity of land, commonly (but I improperly) denominated pine barren: v lids land (although vastly inlerior to the Jtivcr Bottom, and some Wlies’of superi or high land) is ascertained to be ol a 9 productive quality; and with care and ■ attention will raise good corn and excel lent cotton, and admits ot a profitable 9 culture. 1 conceive there will he considerable tisqwy in purchasing, without previously exaaiUiing the country, us one might be !| much (disappointed from a reliance on t the returns and reports of the surveyors. : With regard to the commerce ol the coun try, it i/» at present not considerable, hat is daily becoming more important. It is yet too new to admit at tins time a large I . consumption of goods, though in a few I years there can be no doubt hut the trade I will equal any seaport between those of I New-York and New-Orleahs. —Powes- | sing a much greater extent ol Dar k couu i: try, than any otlier port between those 9 places, the produce of which cun only I find a market through this channel. 1; From some recent experiments it is I satisfactorily ascertained that East-Ten | nc.ssee can be supplied through this rout Vi a much less expense, and considera- I hly shorter period than the way th' y have I hitherto obtained their goods. Hence, if I goods cannot in future be furnished here 1 4 upon as good terms as at Kew-Y ork, the “I of Tennessee will purchase in vi ” New-York. and order them lor this place, I to be forwarded. pi ; The want of capital and enterprise pj.: 'vita,the mercantile community m this I section of the country, is a great check | to its commercial prosperity. The pria ■ clpal part of the goods vended in this 9 country are brought coastwise from Ncw- Orleans and New-York, and the cotton ■ sent chiefly to these markets; consequent t ly there is a considerable loss by this cer- V yuitoHs traffic. Where goods can be I ’ imported, and the produce exported di rect to foreign ports, to and from this .place, at the sainesf if not a less expense, than to New-Orleans; particularly from the Wcst-India Islands which are more jmpvjenient to, tbisfplacc; add to this the 1 %|iHh^^m , to hf made \ .o.se places, will pro j Imra-of from v which gradually shoals to a bar ‘ across ffe’bay*9 miles Wfelow this place. ‘ t)n the bar there water, so that vessels of more tl(|n Ip 1 feet draft, have to discharge and take in their cargoes below the bar. After cros sing the bar the runs continue deep to the junction of the Alabama and Tom- V&U'.aV: . : ■ ' . this place, ilie Forabigbee is navigable for bulges drawing not more than 5 feet to its con fluence with the Black Warrior River, and I understand that the hi ter rim can be navigated as far as (he falls, with thy same draft of water. From the falls ol the Black Wan-im* to the navigable waters of the Tennessee River, is a dis tance of from fcO to DO miles through a | Ract of country where may be had aif ex cellent road. It is reported.that with a trifling expense this distance can be rc , laced about 25 or SO miles. The Tom bigbee is a very gentle current, posses sing few shoals, and but little interrup tion by strong currents during the sum mer and lull months. The Alabama has a much stronger current, and many shoals and rapids, 1 yet during-the driest seasons barges drawing not morethan ,5 leet water can ascend to Fort Jackson, 500 miles above this place, i OntHeUoo sa » miles above Fort Jackson, hre situ ated the Great Falls, which may be;con sidered the head of navigation of that ri ver. The Tallapoosa urtiy be navigated with little difficulty with small barges as high as the Indian boundary line.” ‘V^ ?.;» p*i«ißrii COMMUNICATED. OBITUARY. f. have learnt, ami announce with the deepest,sorrow, the loss which our country has sustained in the death of Fkteu Early, Esq. who died at his re sidence in Green County, on Thursday The 15th inst. e had heard some days since a vague rumour of this afflicting intelligence, but were unwilling to believe what wC hoped to be untrue: it is now, howevet, too confirmed, and instead of men tioning but to contradict it, which vve hoped would liave been our duty, we are assigned the melancholy task of record ing what we deplore. The death of such a man, in such a country as ours deserves to be lamented as a public calamity; for he combined in his character, many of those qualities of a great statesman and a true patriot, which even among patriots and states men arc most rare, and most wanted. Vigour of intellect, quickness of percep tion, promptness of determination, rapid ity ot cxcculio/;, unshaken firmness and inexhaustible resources; these, all allow ed him, and these during the late war, made Ins services invaluable tu the state over which he ruled, lint in (hat civil courage which does an i dares every tiling in the discharge of duty.—in that stern magnanimity winch admits ol no compro mise between the right and the expedi ent -in that integrity of purpose which presses directly forward to great ob jects in utter scorn of all artifice or indi rection—in that glorious self-devotion which sacrifices to the honour of our country, all the honours we derived from her, and while immolating all, to do her unwelcome service, moves onward in sol itary grandeur, unshaken by tiie curses of her phrensy, or the blessings of her gratitude—in these and not in those alone, he lowered above his compeers pror.dly pre-eminent. He united a real love of tue people, a sacred regard for theft’ rights, ami an undeviating pursuit of their interests, with a cool contempt for all tin* arts of popularity. Between him and the political demagogues of the day of any, and of every party there was no point of similarity or attraction. Such inert could find no avenue tu his heart: they hated him therefore with fiery /.nil. He revenged himself only by despising them in frozen silence. There was a calm severity about him. which while it repelled flatterers and sycophants and parasites, equally denied access to the machinations of intrigue, the hints of malice or the whispers,of en vy. When men of lit lie minds approach ed him, with,their petty schemes, their, cobweb snares and tiny stratagems, and all the pitiful artillery of-that miserable ■ warfare, which cunning wages am! would fain call policy, they were awed into in significance, and without venturing an attack retired in despair, astonished and confounded at their own temerity. They did not admire, indeed, what they couid not understand; but they wondered at the height to which lie was elevated above , them. "They found no lurking crevice of vanity—no projecting prejudice—no unguarded out-post —no point of anivoy t ante —no vantage ground of a-satiit. . All wgssmooth, and bare, and hard, and ■ perpendicular,ami inaccessible. 1 In dispatching public business jhc had the talent of cutting short all Unneces -1 sary explanations which is said to have ■ been so particularly diet! righi,shed in the • greatest man of our time, and which has « been made familiar to every one by an • imaginary character in the most cclebra i ted work of a lady who is certainly at the . head of what has been ingeniously terra -1 ed “ the low church of fiction.” Such was Mr. Early, while Governor t of Georgia; and m that station one would : think his countrymen should have been ■ proud to retain him while he lived. But 1 they, ho less fickle than the people they unitated, were tired of the name of Aris . tides the .just. . . . , The power which the constitution hart • entrusted to him, he dared to use for the . purpo>e,.of preventing a violation of that t constitution. , . This wjjk his offence. He dared be i honest in the worst of times, and to ad - monish others of the duty which honesty > required of them. Every one knows Hie - rest: and upon subsequent events it is ' V j>* '■noi our purpose to remark further, than by hazarding a conjecture that the fu m ncss of the Governor probably ciicoura gc«l the judges to draw up their drown ing honor by the locks. Neither do we H.U'in! to enter upon the debatcable ground which was opened by the decis ion (>t the bench, nor into any of the Jior der W ars that followed it. Thus much only will we add to all that has been done and said ami written. The Extc utiycpower wields the sword;the Legis lative commands the parse of the nation; the Judicial run do nothing but weigh die rights of die citizen. Jf against these, the gold of the one ami the iron of the otner. may be cast at pleasure into the balance, it is easy to conjecture which scale must descend. Jn such a state of things nil rights become a mock ery, and justice herself is made the in ; strument of wickedness, i Before his acceptance of some of the principal offices under the State Govern* , ment, Mr. Eauly had been a Represen tative of Georgia in the Congress'of the |United States. He distinguished him self there on several occasions, particu larly as one of the managers of the im peachment against Judge Chase; and when he retired left behind him a degree o! reputation not easily detained, ana in (hcat.ve of talents, which few, who aie not acquainted with that theatre where the master spirits of our age and country contend for fume and power, will justly appreciate. ; Mr. Early presided for some years as a judge of the Superior Courts iii one of the Circuits of this State. As U judge he was all the great"philosopher of common life wished to be, and more than lie was. The bench was his proper sphere, and those who havfe once,.'seen him there w ill not, easily forget him 4 . This is bat a sketch. The hand of the historian must finish the picture; for to history he now belongs. His fame is interwoven with the fame of his country, and that page of her annals which was sullied by folly and injustice, will be pu rified and redeemed /in the eyes of pos terity by the splondour%fhis name. This feeble outline is no piece of pious flatte ry intended to beguile the idlliclion of his kindred, it is indeed the work of one who cannot enrich his tablet with the skill of a master or,the recollections of a friend; hut who having admired and re vered, at an humble distance, the man whom' lie praises, is forced to con tent himself with paying a tribute to that worth, which, were Ids powers equal to Ids wishes-, he would seek to Canute. HIED, at his residence on (he Sand- Hills, on Friday evening last., Mr. Tho mas Saxdwictt,ttrthc* o4llt year of las age, a native of England, but for about 2H gears past, a resident near this place.

Yet throughout his dreadful afiiictibn, he evinced a degree of Christi an fortitude and patient resignation, sel dom witnessed in cakes of less nrgni tude. lie died in full po-seasion of his reason, and with a strong confidence of a glorious resurrection. , Mr. S. was a respectable teacher of Youth—and ably and conscientiously discharged the important duties of Ids or ifesssioji. He was charitable to a fault. The poor in his neighborhood have lost a fosler-faHmr, lie has left behind him a widow and four children to lament his loss.
