From the Federal Union, Sthinst. i THE SURPLUS REVENUE. < Bj the act of the last, session of Con- / gross, the surplus retinae is apportion- ' ed among the difierent stales, under the I significant term, a deposit. It devolves on the legislature to determine, whether this deposit shall be accepted or refused by the state. Wc all condemn, ns ini- : politic, and wasteful, and unjust, a sys- , tern by which the general government , draws from the people of the states, a ; fund to be returned to the government , of the states ; and which, during this un ( necessary circle of operations, has been , reduced by the fees of officers employed , in its collection, and keeping, and return. But as the fund now apportioned to the states has been already collected, and is j not wanted for any proper expenditure of the general government, we presume that the must scrupulous will vote fur its acceptance by the state. What disposition shall be made of this fund ? It has been proposed, that it shall be added to the capital of the Central Bank, a most insidious mid dangerous scheme! They greatly err, who suppose this insti tution to be the friend of the poor. Mow many thousands of dilizens who arc real ly iu need, can obtain no credit there ! The rich man, who is a favorite of its managers, or has the means of operating on their interests or their fears, may ob tain his loan of fifty thousand dollars ; while the common man, livingiu a distant part of the slate, wastes his resources in « wearisome journey to Milledgcville, and is lucky if lie can obtain five hundred.— In vain docs the legislature attempt to' control it by salutary provisions incorpo rated in its charter. How is it possible to guard against the favoritism of a body silting in secret conclave ? When its di rectors act with closed doors, shutting out the scrutiny of every inquisitive or unfriendly eye, what guaranty have wc, that the provisions of the charter will be respected? We believe that banks are in general opposed to that simplicity and equality, which tire necessary to the puri ty «l public morals, and the stability of republican institutions: but of all banks, that is most dangerous, which combines political power with pecuniary influence; and whose capital, being t ie property of the state, may be employed by politicians in advancing their schemes of personal aggrandisement, without subjecting (heir own estates to dangers and losses. Those virtuous men o( nil parties, who desire to preserve the administration of our govern ment from those corrupting intrigues, to which the control of public money tempts, and which it furnishes the means of exe cuting, should combine to destroy this unhallowed union between political'pow er, and « great money-power, A bank is a most dangerous element in (he govern ment us a country. The executive, the legislative, mid the judiciary departments are well poised against cadi other; but add to one of these the secret and seduc tive powers of a bank, and the balance is destroyed. A talented, popular, and am bitious governor, wielding the Central Bankas his engine,extending its powerful arms, unseen, into every comity in the slate, could acquire an Influence (hat , would raise him above nil the checks of the constitution, and make him tha mas ter of the state. His favor would be for tune; and his will would be law. Instead of increasing the capital of the Central Bank, by adding to it Gcor f;ia’s portion of (he surplus revenue, we lope to see this corrupting and danger ous institution expire, at. the termination of its charter in eighteen hundred and thirty-eight. If this fund is not to he ingulphcd in the Central Bank, we think all will agree, that it ought to lie applied to some great public enterprise, which will secure gen eral and lasting benefits to the state. We hope that no selfish calculations, or local interests will he permitted to disturb the harmony of the public deliberations on this most interesting subject. Let every man who shall be called to act on this matter, deeply feel, that he is not merely the member of a local community ; let him remember that a higher and nobler character belongs to him; that he is a citizen of a great state; ami under the expanding glow of a lofty patriotism, by all the honorable means in his power, let him endeavor to advance the prosperity of that stale. Let the friends of Internal improvement in every part of (he state, the patrons of agriculture and of com merce, be no longer divided and distract ed by dissentions among themselves. Let them not war on each other, as if they were natural enemies. Let no man waste his influence in an impolitic effort to ob tain unequal and unfair advantages for that particular section, with which his in terests are peculiary connected. Reason, policy, virtue, patriotism require them to rise above narrow, ungenerous, local par tialities and prejudices. It is only by union among the friends of internal im provement that any great and beneficial scheme can bo matured and executed; it is their union that will best secure the execution of those works, which are must desired by each separate portion of the state. Let them meet as friends and pa triots, determined to advance the prosper its of the whole slate, at the same lime fostering the interests of each separate part. [/from the «Yalional Intelligencer.] THE UNITED STATES & MEXICO. The New York papers announce that Mr. Gohostiza has embarked, with all his Legation, for .Mexico. The New York Courrier vies Etats Unis, of Saturday, states that, having in vain insisted upon the withdtawal of the United' States troops from the territory of Mexico, Mr. Gokostiza had no al - ternative left. The Courrier promises, in its next num ber, a copy of (he last despatch of Mr. Gorosti/.a, and, mean time, publishes this important ami decisive extract: “ The note of Mr. Dickius left the un dersigned no hope. The explanations given to him in the name of the President convinced him, moreover, of how little Mexico has to expect from the United States, since her most sacred rights and dearest interests arc saciiflcccl to the shadow of an imaginary danger. Mexico is insulted and wronged out of pure pre caution. “Under such discouraging circum stances, the undersigned would be want ing in his duty, if, as representative of Mexico, he tailed to use the only means left him to express at least hew much he is wounded by the wrongs done to his I country by the United States ; he there fore declares, upon his own responsi'nli ip, that,from this moment, he considers his mission ul on end.” From the Southern It'klg. Mr. Jams, —I send you the proceed ings ot the Macon Rail Road Conven tion, and request their publication in your paper. Permit me to use this occa sion to submit some facts to the public, to shew t lie urgent necessity of carrying out the plan recommended by the Conven tion, or of commencing some other which will stop the rapid emigration of the peo ple from this State. Our territory is now acquired and the freshness of it lies in that part of Georgia where the principal improvement is re commended. There are ten new Coun ties in the Cherokee country, and territo ry sufficient for at least si* more; they arc situated at the termination of the Blue ridge which spreads itself out into vari ous rich valleys, finely watered, possess ing pure air, and in every respect well calculated to sustain a hardy white pop ulation. As must be perceived at a glance, this desirable region is extremely remote from market, and unless some fa | cility of transportation is offered them they must have their labour subjected to a taxation, which, as I shall presently •hew, cannot be borne by any people, anil will in the end compel them to desert (he country. Contiguous to the Cherokee counties and yiog Southeast of them, arc four teen other flourishing populous Counties labouring under the same advantages as to the means of transportation, making in the whole twenty-five of the flower of Georgia,containing n population at present of 150,000 inhabitants, and daily increas ing. Looking on the Map it will be per ceived that the eastern point of Cobb county is nearly in the centre of (lie above mentioned Counties, and in the neighborhood of which, it is probable, the main trunk of the recommended rail road will terminate, and the d. lie ten I branches commence fanning east, west and south, to the head of navigation ot die principal rivers of the Stale, and thereby furnishing to all the Counties be lovy the most ample facilities oftranspor lation. I repeat, the counties lying in the north and northwestern parts ol'Geor gia, anti already enumerated, are very peculiarly situated, and in a most striking manner require the aid of the State to place them upon n fooling with (heir sis ter Counties.—Notwithstanding they possess so fine a climate and soil, these are wholly useless to them if they arc shutout from market. The State Owes it to them, by every consideration of jus tice and sound policy, to remove the im pediments imposed by nature to their prosperity by which they would become a thriving happy people. I have lately been informed bv a respec table gentleman, now a member of (he Legislature from the County of Cobb, that the price ol freight from Augusta to loat County is THREE dollars per hun dred. This county from its central posi tion among the twenty-live Counties •named, will furnish a fittV average crite rion of the price of freight to the rest. II so, let us now sec what is the monstrous condition of that people. Salt, sugar, and iron I consider as essentially necessary to their support and comfort, and fitere torc upon these articles I desire to base some estimates tor the reflection of our law-makers, observing however, that be sides dry goods which they are obliged to have, there arc several heavy articles, such as hardware, castings, coflco, crocke ry, molasses, anil other groceries, which will nearly subject (hem to the sumo enormous burthens as those imposed bv the use of salt, sugar and iron. The price ot salt heretofore, (and I speak of prices as they fotmerly stood, believing they will be reduced) was fifty cents a bushel, the average price of sugar nine, and iron five cents a pound, in Augusta, the principal market of the up country. Freight at Til REE cents a pound con sequently imposes a taxon these articles ol the following amount, viz: on salt $2 10 els. a bushel, on sugar and iron three cents a pound, which upon their original cost, is 38 J per cent upon sugar, Gj on non and 420 on salt. Let us illustrate the cfleets of this oppressive burthen— For the population I have assigned to these counties, I suppose they will con siimc 1,50,001) bushels us salt", a bushel to the inhabitant, including stock &c. (re marking however, (hat if my estimate of quantities be wrotig.it will nut vary (he principle, as the same result will be rela ■ lively shewn upon assuming any other amount.) The cost of this article will be 875,000, the freight 8313,000. Sup posing the same people to consume one 1 million ot pounds of sugar and iron each, there will be on sugar s>oo,ooo cost, 30,- 000 freight, Iron 50,000 cost, freight 30,000. ° The cost and freight account will then stand thus, Cost, Fheioht, 75,000 315,000 ■Sugar, 90.000 30.000 iron, 50,000 . 30,000 ' 215,000 375,000 Expending over actual cost, 8160,000 The freight on the same articles as cs tablished by law on a rail road would be, On Salt, 50.000 “ Sugar, 7,500 “ Iron, 7,500 Saving the enormous sum, in freights, of 310,000* But this is not all, when you add to the above prodigious expenditure nearly the same amount for downward freight, it will be seen at once, that no people, how ever industrious and economical, and perhaps none can be more so than the people of the up country, can sustain themselves under such a tax upon their labour.—And (he fact is every day ap parent for our citizens arc actually reran yin"; from this comparatively new and Iresh country to places where they can have access to a cheap and ready mar ket by means of navigation. If’somc thing is not done fur the Cherokee conn ties they will be driven to seek a market in Alabama, down the Coosa river or upon the rail roads which that liberal and patriotic .State is about to construct to her market towns. Could any thin* be more reproachful to the State of Georgia ? I beg to offer some further reflections at an other time. A. S. CLAYTON. GEORGIA.

Wo very much regret to see the severe reflec tions on Savannah, from the Milledgeville Cor respondent of the Constitutionalist, in that paper of yesterday, which are exceedingly indiscreet, to say the least of them. What though the charges be true, and the censures deserved, still what good can possibly come of this public expression of them, and thus fostering the already too prejudiced and unkind feeling between the two cities. And, “treat every one according to his deserts, and who shall escape a whipping!” The writer talks of what Augusta may do in ~ adopting measures in self-defence j” yet, in an other sentence he says; “Those baleful conse quences [of the enmity of Savannah,] will visit Savannah without being felt by Augusta, be cause no means can be employed by the former, which would in the least injure the latter." —How will he reconcile this gross inconsistency 1 And if the alledge J enmity of Savannah can injure, as wo ourselves believe, only herself, or rather most ly herself, where is the necessity, or the utility,of 'all this resentment! If we cannot bo injured by Savannah, as it should certainly be desired to have friendly relations with her, and all Olli ers, were it not bolter to leave the evil to its own cure—the enmity to its own self-punish ment ? It would at least show, more than his angry feelings, that the writer believes what he says. The occasion, too, for this angry ebullition seems to us, most unfortunate—the opposition oi the Savannah Senator and his friends, to the bill to give Banking privileges to the Insurance and Trust Company of this city. Will the writer pretend to deny, that wo have Bank capltol e nough in this city, in ail consionCt—and if wo have, was not that reason enough for opposition to such a bill I FOSTER'S PUBLICATIONS. “ Foster’s Cabinet Miscelexnt.” —This is an cxcellcntpvork, of which we have received the first five numbers, and wo take pleasure in re commending it to public attention and patronage.

A Sla'o Arsenal should be creeled in Augusta, and supplied with hfass Field pieces for one Vo lunteer company, at least, and Muskets and Hi fles sufficient for this Division, or Brigade, in case of any sudden danger; or at least for this Regiment, or Battalion. ’Phis city requires pe culiar military care and provision, for reasons which it is surely unnecessary to mention. It is out of the question to expect military pride, or der, and discipline, in companies wholly divested of military uniformity, cither iu dress,’arms, or equipments; but such would not be the cast! if they were regularly furnished with amis and equipments in handsome order, at each parade. Few men arc wholly divested of military pii,l» and feeling ; but an ordinary District company | muster wears so much the aspect of a burlesque, j as to disgust and repress, rather than inspire and encourage them. Such, however, would no* be the case if the men were supplied with arms and | equipments for the occasion. A man equipped [ with cross belts, Ss white as pipe clay could raako them, a cartouch box in which he could see his face, and a musket arid bayonet, flashing like lightning in the sun, could not, thus looking like a soldier, fee! wholly unlike one, or he insensible of its natural stimulus to act like one. The de gree of pride it would naturally excite, would stimulate them, under suitable encouragement fiem the officers, to promote uniformity of dross,- by appearing in citizens' blue or black coats and pantaloons, which, would render their appear ance almost complete, as they will readily admit who have seen a volunteer company in such dress—all blue, to he sure, hut black would make a pretty good substitute, where blue could not be had; and black and blue being the most common colors, they who had not such could mostly borrow thorn. Where need there be a more handsome or becoming uniform than that of the Augusta Guards, composed of citi zens’ blue coa's and pantaloons, with cross belts! And the old Georgia Fencibles, in that dress, ami commanded by Capt. Holt, it will be recollect ed was the largest, and one of the best discipli ned and most admired Volunteer companies that our city has over had. The militia of the city, thus equipped, would be a defence worthy of the name, and one of the utmost importance to the peace and safety of the city, since the exhibition of it would render a re sort to it unnecessary. The public expense of it would bo trilling, compared with its groat good ; and the arsenal and arms once established, that would be all, except three or four hundred dol lars annually, to the Keeper ; as the former would bo permanent, with proper care; and if the salary were an objection, wo doubt not the city council would cheerfully pay it. The Arse nal should ho placed under its charge, and the Keeper be appointed hy it, & act under the super vision and orders of the commandant of the Re giment or Battalion; and if the Bcgislature will provide the means suggested, wo will answer for the latter, (fully satisfied as he is of its practica bility,) that nothing will bo wanting on his part, or in his power, to carry the purpose into com plete effect. The Military officer suggested, would see that the building, am! arms and equip ments were in proper military order; aud under hix authority the latter might be delivered to each District company, after falling in, and returned before it was dismissed—so that there could bo uo loss, and, with the immediate attention of the Keeper, no injury, and but little trouble in clean* ing. The cost of the building wo are riot at present prepared to determine, but should think that one of proper appearance and dimensions would co:I at least $10,000; hut if the Bcgislature should he unwilling to erect such a one, it might pro vide a plain wooden building, merely to hold the arms, for perhaps less than one tenth of that sum; though it would ho highly desirable, and certainly proper, to provide such a one as would form also a suitable refuge for the woman and children of the city, under certain passible con tingencies. Should one of thoso actually hap pen, every member of the Bcgislature might then be very willing to incur the expense suggested, after it were too late. A State Arsenal, and we presume an equ l’y ex pensive, tho’ perhaps not well-constructed one, I.ai been erected in Savannah; and Augusta, at tile head of Steam Boat navigation, is an important position for receiving arms, and forwarding them to the interior. 4 This matter has already been before the legis lature, and not only favorably reported on, hut the report was adopted by both branches, and approved by the Governor, as follows—see Acts ' of 1831, p. 310: “ The Military Committee report, on the cor respondence between His Excellency, and Maj. Gen, Montoomebt, which relates to the pro- . pricty of erecting an Arsenal in Augusta, that they are of opinion it would he expedient to have an Arsenal built in that place, as the Arsenal of the United States is at least throe [they might have said four,] miles from the Centro of tho city, and in case of an insurrection, great injury might be sustained before anna could bo obtained [from the U. States Arsenal. They therefore recom niond the following Resolution : Resolved , 1 hat His Excellency the Governor bo and ho is hereby authorized and requested to open a correspondence with gentlemen in Au gusta, and with Gen. Montoomebt, to ascer tain what should be tho dimensions of tho build ing, and tho probable expense, and lay the same before tho next legislature.” Here ail legislative action on the subject ap pears to have ceased, as we see nothing in rela tion to it among the laws, reports, or resolution* oflhc succeeding session ; hut the correspondence we presume was effected and laid before the le gislature, and that the information called for can still he obtained from the original letters, in the Executive office. If a general law or code is established, the Le gislature should order it, together with the Patrol laws, all the militia laws of the U. Slates, and the Articles of War, to be printed in pamphlet form, neatly bound, and distributed among tho commis sioned officers throughout Ihc State, from the high cstto the lowest—one copy to each—to be preser ved as the properly of the offices, respectively, and delivered over by the incumbents to their suc cessors.—For precedents, sec 46th section of the law of 1818, Prince’s Digest, p. 337, and the Resolutions of the Military Committee, of De cember 6th, 1822.' It would ho well also to pur chase and distribute, in the same way, an equal number of copies of Cooper’s .Military Tac tics, recenlly published for the use of the Militia and Volunteers of the United States, under th* authority and supervision of Maj. Gen. Mxcomi: Or, to save expense, that part of tho work which relates to Infantry Tactics only, which would be all-sufficient for the militia, alone; and w* doubt not that a contract might be made with th*
