For further information. I refer Mr. Bmekenbrough to

he will find that a steamer, estimated to he worth $15,000 was
hired at S3OO per day. provided for, and insured, until the
compensation amounted to $82,555; and this only one of |
geven hired Steamers, $12,187 20 were paid for two hun- !
dred and six oxen. For one year’s rent of a house at Picola

and SB7 50 a piece for twelve Waddles. In 1840, SIOO,OOO i

doubt, Mr. Urockenhrough is ignorant. An invitation for
further proofs of corruption will meet with 9 prompt response.
Fiat Jcstjtia.
The reported death of Santa Anna, remaiks the New York I
Tribune, leaves a good office in the gift of President Polk.
He must appoint a successor to lead the armies of Mexico
against us. A knotty constitutional question occurs here
whether Mr. Polk can fill the ‘■vacancy during the recess of]
the Senate! Aon mi hi t ant as cornponerc hies, If Santa
Anna te dead, where will the three millions go ? Will this j
large amount reveit to the children ol his nearest friend J.
K. Polk?
Those Privateers. — We have obtained positive ar and
specific information concerning those 3 small, armed steam- |
brigs, which one of our English correspondents was inducer!
to consider Mexican privateeers. ‘They have been built in
England for the Governwenl of Manilla, which contracted for
them two years ago. Their object is to cruize against the
tSooloo and Borneo piratical prahus. and to facilitate commu
nications between Manilla and the provinces and adjacent isl
ands, &c. iSome negotiations for the construction and equip
ment of these vessels took place about three years ago with a
gentleman in this city, hut fell through in consequence ot a
change in the Government ot Manilla.—iV. Y. Com, Adv.
Reproof. —One of the young blades dining at a fashiona
ble hotel a few weeks since, was requested bv a gentleman to ■
pass some article of food which was near him. “Did you ‘
mistake me fora waiter ?” asked the exquisite. “No, Hr, i
1 mistook you for a gentleman !” was the prompt reply.
Rather Severe. —When the resolutions in relation to
the war with Mexico, and voting thanks to the President of
the U. S. for the manner in which the war has been conduct
ed, were before the Senate of Virginia, Mr. Gallagher offered
the following amendment, which he ‘hought would fill up the
cop of adulation offered to Mr. Polk:
Resolved, That in an especial manner is President Polk en
titled to the approbation and thanks of this General Assem
bly, for his wise and timely restoration to power, in Mexico,
of the renowned and reliable General Senor Don Lopez An
tonia de Santa Anna.
A Wash letter in the New York Herald, sav : ‘I
have been informed that the War Department, under the
Ten Regiment Act, will accept seven companies from New
York and three from New Jersey, making one regiment for
these two Stales. From Rhode Island, one company ; Maine,
three; New Hampshire, two; Connecticut, two, and Ver- i
moot, two; or one regiment for New England. From Ma
ryland, four companies; Delaware, one. It is said that Penn
sylvania and Ohio will each furnish a regiment ; and that
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, conjointly,
will furnish one. Three companies will he accepted from
Illinois. ‘The mounted regiment will probably be raised in
Tennessee and Kentucky. I have not been able to ascertain
the proportion from other States.”
Gen. Taylor is thus beautifully described by the “(* de
L*” of the New York “Spirit,” (a Captain of tbe 3d Infant
ry, now in Mexico:)
“Winding down a hill, our column was halted to let a
troop of horse pas*. Do you see at their head a plain look
ing gentleman, mounted upon a brown horse, having upon
his head a .Mexican sombrero, d.es-cd in a brown olive color
ed loose frock coat, grey punts, wool ocks and shoes ? From
under the frock appears the scahbaiti of a sword; he has the
eye of an eagle, and every lineament of his countenance is
expressive of honesty and a calm, determined mind. Reader,
do you know who this plain looking gentleman is ? No 1 It
is Major General Zachary Tailor, who, with bis military
family, and n squadron of dragoons as an escort, is on his
way to Victoria. He never has around him any of the “pomp
and circumstance of glorious war,” but when the battle rag
es, when victory hangs upon a thread, when the bravest even
dread the galling fi*e, you will find, foremost among them all,
that brave and gallant General, whose presence alone insures
a victory.”
Supplies. —Some of the people ol this country are anti
cipatmg a sudden diminution in the demand lor bead Mulls
abroad, in consequence of a supply obtained. We never
denture upon any vaticination, which directly reaches mer
cantile mbvt menl*. but it may be proper to stall? what oth

“He urged that we ought not to impose any check at pre

France, Holland, anJ other countries, hail been compelled

The South Western Kail Itontl.
About a year since, we published a notice that books for sub
scription to the Slock of the South Western Railroad were
about to be opened, and at tbe same time, in two or three con
secutive numbers, gave our views at length in favor ol the
practicobility of the undertaking. By tbe unicmitting exer
tions of one of our public spirited Hnd energetic citizens, a most
advantageous charter wus obtained, authorising tbe construc
tion of u Koad from Macon to some point on tbe Flint or Chat
tahoochee Rivers. From incontrovertible data, we were satis
lied in our own minds, that the eontemplated Road would be
of more positive substantial benefit, to certain interests, than
any other that could be suggested. In the first place, Sevan
nah would receive the Irude ot lire most fertile part of Georgia,
from a section of country, where she has as yet got very little
f the trade. Macon would, in tum, be profited, and in a de
gree, obtain a share of these advantages. While the agricultu
ral interests of the country, would be immensely benefitted bv
a cheap and speedy transit of their produce to market. Eu
tertaiuing these views, we supposed that there would be a gen.
eralconcurrence with all the parties in interest. But we were
mistaken For reasons best known to themselves, our Albany
friends were most violent in tlieir opposition, and one of their
papers, in no gentle terms,condemned the whole affair, w ith its
authors and abettors. As always is tbe case, where argument
is wanted, recourse was hnd to ridicule, and not only was tbe
enterprising projector of tbe scheme handled roughly,but we
came in ourselves for a share of the ridicule, and was at once
set down as an accessory to a humbug. The cot.sei|uence
was, that no stock was taken,and the enterprise has been in a
suspended state ever since, although its friends, confident in
its feasibility, have never abandoned the idea of carrying it
through triumphantly, for, that there will he a railway com
munication between this place and the South Western part of
Georgia, at no distant day, we are disposed to believe, is now
reduced, if not to a certainty, at least to a strong probability.
From a discussion that has recently appeared in the Savan
nah Republican, and the Albany Courier, we are glad to sec,
that the subject is revived. Thete are now two ‘ barters, un
de.r either, or both of which, this Road will be built. Beside,
the charter above alluded to, there was one obtained at the Inst
Legislature, authorising the building of a Road direct from this
placet. Columbus; and this Road, lor at least thirty miles,
would run in the same line of direction, that the other would
take. From unmistakable indications of opinions in Savannah,
here, Houston county, and elsewhere, we think there would be
hut little difficulty experienced in raising the necessary funds,
and Imve the Road in a state of progress, and that speedily.
We should like to see our friends in Albany alive, to what we
candidly believe to be, their interest, and give a hearty co-oper
ation to ( the undertaking; yet, if they will persist in their op
position, we still think that the Road may yet he built.
An inierestiiis Fact.
Mr. Calhoun in his speech in reply to Mr. Simmons
stated this interesting fact which is not generally known
even by those most familiar with our early history. In ad
verting to the argument of Mr. Simmons, who was contend
ing that this was a Kalian rather than a Union, which he
fortified by reference to certain resolutions of the State of
New York, calling a convention for the framing of the Con.
stitution. Mr. Calhoun remarked:—
-It IS true the State of New York said so : and what is
further true, that there was a large parly in the U. Stales, at
that time, in favor of a national government. The three
Stales which took the lead were Massachusetts, Pennsylva
nia and Virginia. They were actively and strenuously in
favor of a national government; and the two leading spirits
who led wore Mr. Hamilton, of New York, probahly the
author of that preamble, and Mr. Madison, of Virginia. In
Ihe early stages of the convention there was a majority in fa
vor of a national government, and who regatded a union as
a great absurdity. But io this stage there were but eleven
States in the Convention—Rhode Island never appeared
there, and New Hampshire had not yet appeared with her
delegates. In process of lime New Mamsbire came in—a
very great addition to the lederal side, which now became
predominant! and it is owing—l speak here in honor of New
England and the Northern Slates—it is owing mainly to the
Slate of Connecticut and New Jersey, that we have a feder
al instead of a national government—that we have the best
government instead ol the most despotic and intolerable on
the earth. Who were the men of these Slates to whom wc
ate indebted for this admirable government 1 I will name
them. Their names ought to Ire eugiavrn on brass and live
forever! They were Mr. Ellsworth, Roger Sherman and
Judge Patterson, of New Jersey. The other Slarea larther
I south were tdind. They did not see the luture. But to the
I sagacity and coolness ol these three men, aided by a few olh*
‘ere, hut not so prominent, we owe the present constitution,
j So completely did the national party succumb, that during a
j large portion of the sittings of the convention the word •-na
! ttotnl ’ was not named .-Federal ’ the ‘‘Union, were the
I terms adopted. ‘The national party was completely over
j whelmed; ami what is still more remarkable, the very men
1 who took the lead of that party, assumed the naiue'ot ledcr
!~i st,’ because that had become rite popular name. Honest
and great men they were; but they were disposed to make
the most of the and under that name they recommend
ed that constitution to the adoption of the American people
Now, ifthe Senator s eyes had been directed in this duec
lion, he woulJ not have been ignorant of all this! and not
being ignorant, he would not have made the extraordinary
declaration he has made. But lilts is Hot all. ihe original
federalist party, not sattshed simply with that name, thong!,
in convention it had assumed it and as it had Ireen taken Iron,
them by the ‘national’ party, now assumed the name of ‘re
publican,’ and under that name asserted and car ieil out in
practice the doclunes which were inserted into our constitu
tion by the federal party. *nd achieved that great victory
which brought Mr. Jctforsou into pow--r. I hat allowed the
deep sense of the people that this should not he a national
government—that they would not tolerate it—would never
have adopted It—and that their object was to nave a ledetal
government, 80, if you look to lire conbil tutroil itaelt, the
same thing is manifest. There are ample provision* to show
that it is a federal government —a union u! State*, and not a
national goverurneul—a combination of nation*, and not a
single nation—a lar more brilliant and linking conception,
much more philosophical, nd belter calculated to carry out
the great object. In the letter of General Washington re
| commending ihe adoption of the constitution, which he
I signed as Ficsident of the convention, do we hear a wmd of
| nation 1 Uo we hear a syllable about a consolidated govern
ment 1 Not one. It i* to pc-rpeluai* the Union. And
j what due*'Union’mean 1 We had union hefbro. It was*
mere league—no more; —article* ol confederation. It was to
j perpetuate the Union, not to destroy it. ’

M'. Calhoun has lulled in hi* ulteinpl to get u direct vote -
upon hi* resolutions.
Itlr. Itniton anti Mr. Calhoun.
These two gentlemen have locked horns, and have been
criminating and recriminating each other, very much to the
cbagrine of the harmonious democracy. From the Baltimore
American we obtain the following synopsis of the debate :
Mr. Benton addressed himself at once to the Senator from
3. C. whom he charged with raising the question, and some
what peculiarly, as to the causes of the war.
Then he arraigned Mr. Calhoun’s reasons for not interpos
ing to prevent the marching of the Army to the Rio Grande,
it could not be in consequence of the Oregon question, a* was
alledged, for it was known that the benaie held adverse opin
ions to the Executive upon this topic of Oregon.
Mr. B. reviewed ihe cause* of the war with Mexico—be
ginning with the treaty of 1819. There was, however, a
pause at once here, as Mr. Benton a second time addressed
himself to the Seuator from South Carolina.
He euid Mr. Calhoun hnd assumed to be a champion for
the South, for the institution of Slavery. For one he disa
vowed him, his championship and most particularly would he
tlo so for the S:ate ol South Carolina. The Senator had been
recreant to the South, and he now said to him confine your
self to your own bailwick. The Senator, after uniting him
self to the Abolitionists, as he diJ, upon the subject of coin
promising this very question of Slavery in excluding i\ from
ihe Valley of the Mississippi, that Senator had put an everlast
ing answer upon his own lesolulions, introduced here a lew
da vs since, by his own acts.
Mr. Calhoun was then charged with bringing on tbe war ;
for Texas by the mode in which he had begun negotiations
made upon this subject. V\ ith motives he bad nothing to
do. It wa9 to arts he referred, and by hi* acts he arraigned
the Senator from C. For himseli he aspued to no cham
pionship, and was not disposed to fvdlow one under such u
lead.
Mr. Calhoun was then charged with doing that which led
to the World’s Convention in England, and in connection
with this he was charged with making the President respon- ;
sible for the war, and this at the certain hazard ot injuring ,
the country, as it was injured by his course.
Mr. Bunion introduced whatever dates and documents
would bear upon the subject of which he was treating, it i
was intimated that Mr. Calhoun had shown himself any thing j
but a Statesman, and less a i hristian Statesman, by Ins course !
of conduct in regard to his negotiations. They were at least |
very unlike his acts. He had agreed to take the war from |
Texas with Mexico, and had refused, as a Senator, to support i
the war thus assumed. All this, it was said, could be made
out from the documents, and upon (his he relied. ‘There was
a want of Christian Statesmanship and a miscluef-makiug in
the course of the Senator. He had indeed renewed ihe strife
among us by the introduction of his Resolutions.
The design of Mr. Benton was to show that Mr. Calhoun,
as Secretary of Stale, had pledged himself to Teia* to send
the Arm> of the U. S. upon the fiontier. and the Navy into
the Gulf to protect Texas in case Mexico should make any
demonstration against her. These pledges were ol tbe strong
est kind, and were dwelt upon by Mr. Benton, as they had
been by General Houston, for the purpose of showing that
j Mr. Calhoun bad done all in his power to bring on ibis war.
He said that Mr.C. was willing to participate in an order
for a secret advance of the Army and Navy, to violate the
j Constitution of the United States, and to add enormity to e
normily by transferin” this war to the United Stale*. Tbe
Senator from S. C. had overturned the decision of Mr. Nelson
and had turned round himself. It was owing to the good
conduct of Texas that we were not much sooner in war than
we were.
Mr. Benton remarked that he said in closed doors last year
that if there was hut one man in Mexico, and he not bigger
than Torn Thumb, he would fight. That blood which was
a compound of Roman or Celtic would not brook oppression.
He sard this in closed doors and he repeated it now. The
Senator from S. C. had gone one step further and was even
ready to agree to pay leu millions to prevent a war which he
had brought on. •
Cicero had said that if Antony had not taken his flight from
Rome, there would have been no civil war with Rome. So
the Senator’s sending a flying Messenger to Mexico upon the
fatal night of the annexation of Texas, was the cause of the
war with Mexico, for the pre-existing causes of which the
Senator from South Carolina was responsible. Antony was
responsible for the war with Rome, and Lord North respon
sible lor the war of England with the United Stales, so was
the Senator from S. C. responsible for the war with Mexico.
Mr. Benton reiterated this over and over again, and in the
most offensive form. Mr. Calhoun’s “masterly inactivity,”
particularly in his plan of defence, proposing five regiments
for Ihe defence of the boundary between the U. States and
Mexico, would be, according to Mr. 8., our defear in the end,
and our banishment from Mexico ascertain as the Moors were
banished bv Spain.
Mr. CALHOUN said that one thing was shown by the
bold speech ol the Senator from Missouri, and that was that
the war with Mexico was an unpopular war, and being so il
would soon be put to rest. Hitherto, many Senators and
runny person?* and not a year since the organ of the President
had said that fhc Executive had securer! annexation. It was
now admitted, 9nd it was with pride and pleasure that he
heard it, thut the annexation of Texas was his own act, as it
certainly was. He bad seized the golden opportunity and
consummated the act.
Mr. C. said be had heard two days ago that an elaborate
attack was to lie made upon him and he came here expecting
to hear it. and with il something like an argument; but of
all empty and inconclusive arguments, this was the the most
narrow and incoheient he had ever heard from that Senator.
He? could even thank him for such an attack, confident as he
> wa*. that such an assault would result in his own elevation
j and in the relative depiessinn of the Senatoi.
Mr. Chlboun expiessed himself amazed at the attack of the
Senator, but he coutd not but be surprised that be had brought
forward such old and stale charges. Every one of these chais
es had been urged two years since and were then repelled
by him.
Mr. Calhoun proceeded to a somewhat elaborate defence
of the trea'y of 1819. the course he had taken upon the ques
tion of annexation of Tex a*, his defence of that course, and
* somewhat protracted argument in defence ot the opinion
entertained by him that no war was necessary.
Mr. C. believed that the war could have been avoided even
after the battles of May last, by ordering a proviiori*l army
to be raised for the protection of our territory. By this means
we coutd have secured the Kio GrjnJe and been saved the ex
pense of an invading war.
Mr, Calhoun spoke briefly, with great point and terseness.
;ind closed by remarking that as the charges were light and
stale he would not further reply to them.
