“CHARLESTON RAIL ROAD.
The following extract of a letter, from a highly
respectable commission merchant of Augusta, to
a merchant in this place, we lay before our rea
ders, that those who arc interested in having goods
forwarded may be advised of the despatch with
which it is done on this Rail Road :
“ Aoccsta,Nov. 19th 1836.
When you order goods again, do have them
sent byway of Savannah ; there will not be one
half the delay that is on the Rail Road, and the
expense much less. I have now Rail Road're
ceipts for goods for you, shipped from Charleston
on the 3d inst., not yet here ; I have other re
ceipts dated 28th last month, goods not here yet;
in fact the goods do not get up generally in less
than 15 to 20 days. I consider this Rail Road a
public imposition that ought to bo exposed and
put down. I will venture to make a bet that you
shall ship from Charleston, 20 packages of goods
all in one lot, and that no four of them arrives at
Hamburg on the same day, and that from five to
ten days shall intervene between the receipt of the
first and the last of the lot.”
The above is from the Athens Southern Whig.
Wo republish it, not from any inimical feeling
toward the road—(for we do not allow ourselves
to bear enmity toward any public enterprizo what
ever, or friendship cither, so far as to control our
judgment, or restrain the impartiality of our 0-
pininns ; and assuredly our interest is not to bo
benefittod by iQ —but to introduce some sugges
tions perhaps worthy the consideration of other
works of tho kind now contemplated, or in pro
gress. That the Charleston Rail-Road is a partial
failure, it is useless to deny ; and it is important
that it should be known, that others may not bo
led by its example, into similar error. Its fault
is in unreflectingly adopting the model of others,
(tho Northern ones,) which, however suitable in
themselves, arc governed by very different cir
cumstances—they, being dependant mostly on
passengers, and this on bulkly freight, which of
course requires a stronger, and particularly, a
broader, base. As tho above letter states —and
correctly, too, as is well known to tho merchants
of this city—it cannot convey any extensive
quantity of goods together, at least without de
voting too many of the cars to one parcel, and
thsrcby keeping back many others till the pa
tience of the owners would be entirely worn out.
But it certainly is not an “ imposition.” since it
floes all it can, and in its desire to please alt, as
far "as possible, is obliged to transmit portions
of the goods of each, as fast as its means will
permit. Having to compete with the river, and
on unequal terms, it is very natural that it should
flesire to engage and transmit as much freight as
practicable, so as to defray its expenses, enlarge
its dividends, and improve its slock; and of
course while freight crowds upon it sometimes,
there are others, which may quickly ensue, when
>• I it may not have enough, unless it makes what
provision it can for them ahead.
= It may be remembered that w% foresaw and
predicted those difficulties before it was comple
.. ted, and that it never could successfully compete
X with the river, at least under its present forma
g tion. It is very doubtful, indeed whether any
Rail-road can bo made to successfully compete
with a navigable river, under any ordinary diffi
ie culties of navigation: Bdt to attain that object
as far os practicable, tho road should have
n been made at least one-fourth wider, and the cars
and engines larger and stronger in propor
n, tion ; so that-each car would carry 150 or 200
bales of cotton, instead of twenty, or twonly-Cvo,
!( j (andjiogsheads, &c. in proportion,) and each en
s, i ginc propel an equal number of such cars. Only
! y the same number of hands would bo required, for
lJ such an engine, as the present ones; and thus
0 f the expense, according to the freight, would bo
lessened, in that most important item, at least
ll j five-sixths; and while one engine would propel
3 _ at least as much freight as a Steam-boat, it might
„ be transmitted in entire parcels, as well as by the
river, and the road would not be crowded with an
unnecessarily largo numbei of cars, as now. It
way be argued against this, that tho frame basis
j of the road would not bo sufficiently strong for
e such cars. That only proves, .however, that to
b render such a work complete, tho basis should bo
( solid; and if it were to be made so, and widened
J( as suggested, with a double track, wo have no
doubt that its profits would he greatly enhanced,
in proportion to tho cost. As it is, it is suitable only
s for passengers, and the mail. But wo protest
• ( against denominating it an ■“imposition,” or at
tempting to “put it down,” since, even in those
c respects, it is a very groat pubic convenience
j and benefit, as every one must admit; and. as to
- its dilficuhies in transmitting freight, they are
generally known, in this community at least,
and, as we supposed, to all likely to ho affected
' by them. Even as to freight, 100, tho' its rates
may be higher, and its difficulties greater, than on
the river, still, being known, it is presumed that
■ no one would employ it but for their own benefit;
and as no one is obliged to employ it, in preferenoe
• to tho river, whore is the "imposition 1”
There is another matter, too, connected with
the difficulties referred to, which is worthy of
observation. Travelling out of its proper sphere,
for purposes of speculation—as some Insurance,
and ether Rail-road companies do, in obtaining
I Banking privileges—it must fain go up and
down a hill,instead of round it, to establish a town
on top: by which, it not only greatly increased
the expense, impediments, and danger, but sub
• jected itself to another failure; for Aiken, as a
little reflection will shew, though it may do very
well for summer residences, will never attain the
1 advantages contemplated over Hamburg, as a com
mercial town. Sure of tho freight to and from
that place, whenever it suits their own conveni
ence to take it, the company will always give the
preference to that to and from Hamburg and Au
gusta ; which would otherwise go by boats ; and
as that at Aiken lias not that choice, and tho mar
ket must occasionally ho glutted with cotton, and
prices fall, for want of a vent, the market at Ham
burg must obviously ho a better mle for the Plan
ter—to say nothing of this additional advantage,
that when there, he has the choice of the Augus
ta market, also, the great competition and capital
of which will always protect his interest in Ham
burg, and give him a free selection of goods,when,
as is often the case, he is a country merchant, also.
We have no enmity against Aiken in those
remarks, more than against the Rail-road ; and
certainly it is not to our interest, as wo may
perhaps experience, as wc have done in rela
tion to tho Rhil-roa d, to deal with it thus can
didly: But it is our well known custom to
speak and write freely on all subjects, without
fear, favor, or affection, or consideration of our
own immediate interest. If what wc have said
be correct, it may he of use to some one—if oth
erwise, it !an injure no one.
Another Rail-road matter: It may he recol
lected that we exposed the necessary efl’ect of tho
Athens Kail-road on this city, if it should con
nect with the Charleston one ; and to prevent
1 the opposition which would have succeeded, an
arrangement was made with the Stockholders
here, that it should be stopped in the rear of the
' city, and made of a different width, so that the
1 cars of one, would not answer for tho other, and
tho city must of course become a depot for the
r passing trade. Wo took it granted, from this,
that tho new road would therefore ho made wi
der, for tho reasons above suggested, and were
not a little surprised to learn, sometime ago,
from a highly respectable gentleman, (who ob
’ tainedi t, wo believe, from the the former President
' of the company,) that it would be made still nar-
L rower, and for the reason, that, as it would have to
wind round a number of hills in tko way, the
1 cars would do so with more facility, than if it
• were wider! Can this possibly be so 1 We
1 pretend to nothing more than natural reason on
‘ the subject, and plain common sense; and if a
I car would not wind round a hill with more fa
il cilily, and infinitely greater safety, on wide rails
a than narrow ones, especially narrower than those
d on the Charleston road, then it passes our com
s prehension altogether, wholly, and entirely!
0 Does not plain reason suggest, that while the
- road is circular, and the impulse of the car direct,
■i 1 there is a tendency in the latter to run off tho
1- former, and that not only is that tendency in
;. creased with tile narrowness of tho road, but the
t liability to turn over, also, if the inner wheels
s should get over the rail—since, in proportion to
s the increased width of the road, would be the
II likelihood of the ear to slip inside of tho rails, in
-1 stead of outside, and over 1
J It has boon stated, however, that when the ar- 1
s tangement referred to m relation to the width of 1
0 tho road, was mentioned in tho Knox villo Con
if vention, as an objection to the groat western road
!, coming this way, some one asserted, on the au
-1 thority of the company,perhaps its President, that
l no such arrangement existed, and no alteration o
tho width was contemplated. How this con
-1 Iradiction is to be accounted for, we do not know
. Certain it is, that tho former President first statec
a it to us, as obviating the objections wo had sug
. gested ; and Ihoso of our citizens who rely on i
■ ought to know the position in which it now
j stands.
f GREAT CONFLAGRATION
A Fire broke out in this city,ycsletdity morn

. beside tho dwellings and outbuildings attached
) It commenced about 6 o’clock, in tho cooper’s

—and Georgia Insurance and Trust Company,
risk, $15,000, loss $5,000.
The Planters’ Hotel, as well as the buildings
on the opposite side of Broad street, were in
great danger, and often on fire, and saved only hy
the groat exertions of the Firemen and citizens.
ANOTHER NEW STEA MBOAT.
Wc yesterday paid a visit to the new Stcara-
Boat Cincinnati, just anived at our wharves 1
from Charleston, and were taken hy the hand
by our old friend Capt. Cottar, her com
mander. The sight of him put us in mind of
old times when wo had half a dozen steam-boats
plying between this city and Charleston,, ami we
hope the day is not far distant When we shall see j
the old number doubled—not that wc have any
ill-will against our sister city, Savannah, but be
cause we believe, in “ Free Trade”—that two
markets arc hotter than one—and that competi
tion is tho life of business. As matters now
stand, our whole dependence is on Savannah—
through her wc rccelve our supples, and it is to
her our merchants are compelled to ship their cot
ton, cither for sale or shipment—if for the former,
they arc completely at tho mercy of our Savannah
brethren. It is true, wc have a rail-road leading to
Charleston, hut this road benefits us only hy its
name, for wo actually carl send more cotton to Sa
vannah in a week, than the rail-road can carry
for us in twelve months. Tho completion of this
road knocked up our stoam-hoat trade to Char
leston—hut our merchants soon found, to their
sorrow, that when boats between the two cities
ceased to run, their whole dcpandcnco was on tho
Savannah market, and that instead of having two
markets to resotl to as formerly, they hail but one.
| They have labored under this disadvantage fora
long time; and wc sincerely hope that the ap
pearance of the Cincinnati, in our waters, will a-1
waken a new feeling among them, and cans? a
nother state of thing*. Every communication to
of or from our city should bo kept open and liberal
t- ly encouraged,—we have the men—-we have the
-V. means—and if we aro beholding wo deserve the
?d beggar’s [portion.
S' The Cincinnati is a fine boat 125 feet long,
it 23 foot beam, 8 feet hold, 210 tons burden, drawl
w when heavily laden 4J feet water, and will carry
from oto 800 bales of cotton. She will ply be
tween this city and Chailcstml as long as suffi
cient encouragement is extended to her.—Con

'o her was “having declared that there was hut

,j Courier.
it, How differently things arc judged, indifferent
•|j countries. Had she only resided in the United
0 f States, her opinions would doubtless have been
considered orthodox, hy those in authority, at
j. least, and pcrlups have elevated her to office—at
j. least that of “ Post-mistress”—witness tho clcva
„ tion of “ Sam. Gwin," who publicly declared An
j drew Jackson a “true sac simile of” tho “one
God,” or, in his own words, •< the Rock of Ages.”
l 3 It’s well for the ecclesiastical council of New
_ Brunswick that they don’t come in any way with
in the control of that same Andrew Jackson. If
~ they did, they’d find themselves something like
y where honest Tom. Kenton said he was, when

However, honest Tom has rcc#ntod his heresy
since then, and now worships in tho same faith
a with Gwin, and at die fool of the same “throne.”

is, that it originated within the City Post Office ;
_ and another, that it commenced among the wood
in the basement story of the building, immediate*

papers belonging to tho Department, and amongst
them ten or twelve thousand Unsettled accounts
