THE PREMIUM DON\TIO\. ‘‘The Treasurer of the Augusta Free School Society, acknowledges the sum of seventy-five dollars, a donation received from J. Edward Cal houn, Esq. of Abbeville District, S. C., by the hands of Mr. Bcnj’n. Baird ; the same being a mnunt of the highest premium awarded to that gentleman at the Cotton Fair recently held in this city.”— Constitutionalist of * Monday. BRUNSWICK. “Wo understand it is in contemplation hy sev eral of our morchents, to apply early on the meet ing of the next Legislature, to charter a Compa ny, to bo styled the Augusta and Brunswick Steam Boat Company. They also have it in con templation to charter a Steam Boat, and a parly of twenty-five will visit Brunswick in May, thro’ the polite invitation of Tuos. BuTLcirKr.vo, Esq. Constitutionalist of yesterday. “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 i ing, which has laid about sixteen stores in ashes . beside tho dwellings and outbuildings attached ) It commenced about 6 o’clock, in tho cooper’s , shop of Mr. Duffy, in the roar of Mr. Bkxj Prxtt’a store, and near tho Planter’s Hotel, am] f is variously attributed to accident and design— r continued till about 10 o'clock—and consumed , all tho buildings on tho south side of Broad street , front and roar, from Campbell street to the brick t range of Messrs.

The entire loss is estimated at about $75,000, and the insurance at about two-thirds—that of the Charleston Ala rine and Fire Insurance Agency, risk gt 0,000, loss, $20,000 —Hartford Agency, risk, $5,000, loss, about $4,000 —Augusta Insurance and Bank ing Company, risk, $30,000, loss, about $15,000 —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 :1 ‘ stitutionalist of yesterday, !S, d. JACKSONISM I ’a A young lady has recently boon tried before } en ecclesiastical council in New Brunswick for heresy. One of tho charges preferred against 'o her was “having declared that there was hut _ ono God, and that was Andrew Jackson!”— ,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 I) in Nashville, after the celebrated fight with him. 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.” 1- _ , From a slip Jrom office of the U. S. Telegraph. Our time would not allow us to give particu- J lars if we were in possession of them. There y aro two reports as to the origin of the fire. Ono 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* ly under that office. We cannot say which i, I statement is correct. If tho latter ho true, thero can bo no doubt that it was tho work of an in j ccmliary. Wo hitlievo tho most of the papers on ’ the two first stories of the General Fust Office " Department have been saved ; hut all those in it the third story, being tho greater portion of tho papers belonging to tho Department, and amongst them ten or twelve thousand Unsettled accounts ’’ ol Postmasters for tho quarter ending on the Ist a of October last, are destroyed.
