Proposed rail road connexion, p
Between the interior of Georgia amt some 1
navigable point on the Tcnncstee River. 8
ft strikes us that (here is no section of 1
oUr country so much in want of comraer- 1
cial facilities, and so utterly dead to their t
necessity & importance, as that of North I
Alabama.- Possessing a climate of rare I
salubrity, an agricultural surface scarce- 1
ly paralleled for its beauty and fertility, '
it wants nothing but more abundant and 1
expeditious channels of intercourse with (
the neighboring States, to made it the |
most desirable region in our whole South 1
western territory.
Nature may do much, but she rarely
docs all for man. Something must be
left to his own labor and enterprise. It
is by a struggle w ith difficulties, by over
coming obstacles, that his highest genius,
his noblest energies are displayed. What
has',made the Western part of New York 1
a world of itself} What has converted
the forest into cultivated fields—the lit
tle village, of yesterday, into a splendid 1
mart of commerce, to-day ? The genius '
of man, co operating with those facilities
with which nature lias surrounded the
fath of his enterprise! If (he friends of
nternal Improvement in the great State
of New York, (a State, in comparison
with which many of her sisters arc mere
pigmies in the scale of moral power, and
physical resource,) had been awed by
common difficulties in the road to suc
cess, she would not now be crowned with
the imperial diadem of wealth and com
merce.
The South, generally, is beginning to
he more alive, man heretofore, to the sub
ject of Internal Improvement. She must
be so if sbe means not to dwindle into ab
solute insignificance. She must have
rail roads, canals, and turnpikes, if she
means to preserve her power, invigorate
her prosperity, and sustain the languish
ing form of commerce. Smith Carolina
has taken a noble stand in this matter,
Georgia is following in her footsteps, and
Alabama mti.it do the same tiling.
A large portion of the citizens of Geor
gia are anxious to form a. Hail Hoad con
nexion between Athens, or some other
V favorable place, in. that Stale, and a good
Xnavigablo point on the Tennessee river,
Nsay about the Suck. This subject was
\ucli agitated at Knoxville between the
from Georgia and Alabama.
t'Tlie Georgians arc deeply impressed
with its importance. The Delegation
from (hat Slate determined, while at
Knoxville, to call a Convention, on their
return home, to be held at Macon, some
time in the month of November, to take
into consideration the subject of Internal
Improvements generally—*and more espe
cially to bring to the notice of the people
of that State the policy and advantages
ot a Rav\ Road connexion between the 1
as already'*“ c '' 1
river; thro’ the medium of wVtVrlv'Ylie
South-Atlantic ports (Charleston and
Savannah) may he made accessible to a
vast extent of Western and Southwes
tern territory. We arc convinced, from
all we ncumr-ariW wirr*' m> cone occasion,
that the Georgians are in earnest—that
this improvement is practicable—ami that
itisol infinite importance to the interests
of both Slates. Alabama is bound to meet
Georgia on liberal and magnanimous
ground—she must look at tills project,
study it thoroughly, and not pause until
she has put her hand to the enterprise.
Let us examine into the nature ami
importance of this connexion :
The Tennessee river, although tributa
ry to the Ohio, is quite equal to (hat
stream for steamboat navigation from' its
mouth to flic point of the Lookout moun
tain, in the Slate of Tennessee, a dis
tance of 450 or 500 miles, with the ex
ception of that portion embraced by the
Muscle and Colbert’s Shoals. Indeed,
it is the only stream of the West which
perforates entirely the great Cumberland
chain of mountains so as to admit of good
navigation through them. Nothing then
remains, to obtain the proposed connex
ion between (lie Atlanticand nimmense
S onion of (he West and the adjacent
noth, but to remove the obstruction at
the Shoals, and to extend the Georgia
Hai! Read from Athens, or any other
convenient place which the Georgians
may designate, to the point of the Look
out mountain. To counteract the ob
structions at the Shoals, as our readers
are already aware, a Rail-road, 42 miles
in extent,lias been constructed from De
catur to Tuscuinbia landing, and has for
some years been in successful operation,
by which all the country above the Mus
cle Shoals, extending beyond Knoxville,
even in the State of Virginia, has been
supplied with groceries and other heavy
articles of importation.
As another means of overcoming those
obstructions, n canal for steam-boats was
projected some ye ws ago by the General
Government. Os the condition and pros
pects of that canal our readers have been,
from time to time, informed. lit miles
will be completed in a short time, and
ready for operation the ensuing winter.
Its disnieusioits arc 60 feet in width,
and 6 feet in depth, with locks 32 feet
wide and 120 feet long. This portion
ol the canal overcomes 8 5 feet of fall, and
ren lers navigable miu hthe most difficult
part ol die shoals; so tint all that region
ol country, lying above them will derive
great b-.-umiis from the (icili ies afforded
by the cm al in its present state. At low
stages of the water this obstruction will
continue to embarrass ( he navigation of
the river. Ihe unfinished portion of the
canal, it is estimated by Colonel Kear
ney, will cost about *4,000,000. Tin
funds granted by the General Govern
ment for this work are nearly exhausted.
May we not hope that the same power,
when theimportancc of this canal is made
tnore manifest by being connected with
a chain of extensive improvements, will
continue its fostering aid, ami make the
necessary appropriation for its entire
completion ? And, if not, when ample
means are placed at her disposal, that
tiie State herself will not suffer a work of
•uch magnitude to languish for the want
of sustaining help ? In any event, whe
ther the canal is ever completed, or not,
ufjon the scale originally proposed, we
shall have, in a short time, at fair stages
of the wafer, an uninterrupted steam
boat navigation from the mouth of the
Tennessee river to the Lookout moun
tain. 1
In order, then, to establish a line of ,
communication by which a Targe extent (
of territory bordering upon the Mississip- j
pi, Ohio, and Wabash rivers, may bcl*
, /
brought into intimate connexion with the
ports of Charleston and Savannah, and all
the intermediate region, it is only neces
sary to extern! the Georgia Rail-Rroad
from Athens, in that State, to the Ten
nessee river, at or near the Suck, a dis-!
tanCe of about 130 miles. It is already j
known that there is a Rail-Road in opera-1
tion from Charleston to Hamburg, ami
that a road is also under construction
from the latter place to Athens, with a
most flattering prospect of it* speedy i
completion, 'flic interveniug country
between Alliens and the Tennessee river
is said to be highly favorable for the con
struction of a road, ami so level as not to
require a single stationary engine. I( is
proper here to state, that the Coosa Rail j
Road, already chartered by the Slate ol
Alabama, would probably be made to in - \
tersect (bis line of communicat’on, at nr
near the Tennessee river, and thus would |
open to South Alabama an extensive con-j
nexion with both the Last and the West.;
To point out what'an extended system |
of improvements may be ultimately
brought into connexion with this road,
we must examine some of the schemes al
ready in agitation. —Measures are now
taking to continue the Decatur and Tus
cumbia Rail Hoad to the Mississippi ri
ver. Charters have been obtained for
the whole route, and the stock has actual |
ly been subscribed for tlw Western end,
from Memphis to Lagrange, a distance
of 60 miles, leaving only 80 or 90 miles
to unite these portions and make one con
tinuous line of Hail Road, of 170 or 80
miles, from Decatur, at the head of the ,
Muscle Shoals, to the town ol Memphis, j
on the Mississippi.
Let us cast our eyes over the map and j
endeavor to balance the cost of 150 miles
of Rail Road against the immense ud- ]
vantages which would result to Alabama
from its construction. Take every diffi
culty and expense into view, and how
paltry Would be the sum total compared
with the ultimate gain ? The commerce
of the East would be brought to our doors,
and (lie entire trade of a large portion of
the West could be made to circulate
through our borders by building only 150
miles of Rail-road!
When the work is done, (he distance
from Charleston or Savannah to North
Alabama 'could be run in three days and
one night, say finished on the morning of
the fourth day.--Nashville could be reach
ed in four days from the same points—
The month of (he Tennessee river in six
days j that is, in three days over (he Rail
Rond to (he Suck—the night following
by steam boat to Decatitr, and thence by
Hail Hoad 42 miles to Tuscuinbia, and
from that point by steam boat to the
mouth of the river in two days more.
From (he month of the river the same
boat could roach Louisville, Nashville,
or St. Louis in two days, thus making
eight days from Charleston or Savannah
Ito either of these cities. Should the Rail
through the RmU)Ve?n''ftor\\hr
Tennessee to Memphis, then, that place
could bn reached in 5) or 6 days, thence
Little Hock, iu Arkansas,, (.he juwteq U»*J
rrrtoi cimmrv, and even I ex.ts might be
brought within the range of these improve
ments,
, The advantages which would resnll
from the construction of this chain of in
i terior communication seem to us almost
incalculable.—The Slates of Georgia and
Alabama, large portions of Tennessee
and Mississippi—all the country lying
upon the Ohio River below (he Falls—
and upon (he Mississippi and its tributa
ries from Memphis to the Falls of St.
Anthony—would participate to an ex
tent, at present scarcely conceivable, in
the trade and intercourse flowing through
these channels. Estimating transporta
tion at the rates usually paid on similar
water courses, for like distances, wo may
safely conclude that transportation from
the mouth of the Tennessee to the point
of the I jookout mountain would not ex
ceed 50 cents per 100 lbs. From that
place the productions of the West, destin
ed for the consumption of the interior of
Georgia, North and South Alabama,
could be conveniently and cheaply dis
tributed by Hail Hoads. The time re
quired to perform the passage from the
mouth of the Tennessee to Charleston or
Savannah would be about 5 or 6 days.
We will not be so bold us to assert that
commerce will be attracted along this
channel of communication, from the coun
try bordering on the Ohio river above the
Falls, or even from Louisville; but we
believe it would not be extravagant to
suppose, that Missouri, Illinois, and the
region watered by the Wabash—counties
eqnaf, it not superior, in fertility and pro
ductiveness, to any portion of the West,
and which will in a short time yield the
bread stalls, provisions, &c. required bv
the cotton growing States of Georgia and
AlSbama, would fake this route in pre
ference to any which could be presented.
We have thus laid before our readers
some general views iu relation to the im
portance ol a Rail Hoad connexion be
tween some navigable point on the. Ten
nessee river and t he interior of Georgia.
I hat State is already engaged in the
construction of an extensive system of
improvements within her borders Char
ters have been obtaining for roads run
ning from Savannah to Macon, Forsyth,
&c. .which roads will probably be exten
ded to the line of road to the Tennessee
river; and, in this wav, we shall have a
choice of the posts of Charleston and Sa
vannah.
We might here enlarge upon the ad
vantages which would result, especially,
to Huntsville and the contiguous coun
try, from the consummation of this im
portant enterprise; but our limits will
not permit us to dwell longer on the sub
ject. To be able to travel to New Y’ork
m (3 or 7 days—to have our merchandize
delivered here in the same time—to com
mand the markets of (he West—arc bene
fits, (he importance of which it requires
no warmth of imagination powerfully to
enforce.

To the Editor of the. Aiken Telegraph.
Sir :— As various reports may be cir
f culated respecting the untimely and
shocking fate of my neighbour, Mr. Josiah
1 Stallings, it has occurred to me that it
1 would be proper (0 lay before the public
s a brief and correct account of the a (fair.
1 * Respectfully,
On the afternoon of Friday the 12th
, inst. about half an hour before sunset, Mr.
Josiah Stallings, who lived near Rouse’s
bridge, on the Upper 3 Runs, was re
turning home from the plarfe where his
hands were getting Ranging timber,when
he was shot down by a negro fellow of
his. named Primus. This fellow had
runaway repeatedly, and xvas then lying
out, when he took his station on the side
ol the road, and as soon as his master
1 rode up, he shot him, through the head.
The load consisted of fifteen buck shot
and three large slugs, which had been
cast in a reed and with such precision did
he take aim that the whole went in at bis
left temple and out at his right, making
such an opening through his head that 1
have been told the light of the candle tvas
seen throngh it. I heard of the affair on
Saturday evening, and went down on
Sunday morning, but did not get there
before he xvas buried. Just before I ar
rived, Silas Stallings, a son of the deceas
ed, and his brother in law, Mr, Cochran,
who watched for the negro while the rest
of the family and the neighbors had gone
to bury the Father, were so fortunate as
to find Primus, whom they suspected to
be the murderer, and who had approach
ed on Saturday night within a few yards
of the house, while his master was a
corpse within. They brought the negro
to the house a few minutes before I ar
rived. He made no resistance when ta
ken, but said he would give up, if they
would not shoot him. 1 asked him se
veral questions Vespecting the murder of
his late master, but he firmly denied hav
ing any knowledge of it. Finding that ,
he would make no disclosure at the house,
I proposed to the family and friends of
the deceased that xve should take him to (
the place where the murder had been i
committed. Wc went, —(he negro o-o
mg before, and ns soon as he saw his
master’s blood on the ground, he became
exceedingly agitated and exclaimed
“ This it the place: that’s the spot.” One
of the company then said shew us where
you stood when you shot him. He im
mediately went to the spot just ten steps
from the blood, and said, “I shot him
from behind this pine.” The bushes were
cut, and a blind made, behind which he 1
concealed himself, and as soon as lie dis- 01
charged liisgunhe said he run off. While
here he implicated a white man, statin"
that he furnished him with the gun and
ammunition, and that he advised him to
shoot his master. He then took us to
the place where he had carried the gun,
which upon being produced proved to e
his young master’s. In the same p ace
where the gun was hid. they louud a ra
-/.or, a long carving knife, some powder
and some provision. Having piocure
these articles, xve returned to the house
when a warrant xvas issued for the app.e
hension of the white man, and summon
ses for another magistrate and five tiee
holders.
On Monday morning, the magistrates
and freeholders having met, proceeded to
the triaj. The fellow confessed the
crime, ami gave a circumstantial account
of the shocking transaction, the Couit
sentenced him to he hung on the spot
where he committed the murder, which
sentence was executed on Friday the
I9th inst. the pine trees behind which he
stood serving him as a gallows, oil which
he expiated his crime. It may he proper
to add, that under the gallows he acquit
ted the white man, whom he had before
implicated, of having any knowledge oi
the murder of his master, or having given
him any advice or of having furnished
him with the gun or ammunition with
xvhich he perpetrated the horrid deed.
