The Journal published at Rome, (ten., suys : •Our citizens sre indulging in pleasing nnlicipa- lions of an arrival of a steamboat ibis summer.— Byway of a foretaste, we visited ilie boat yard ■one weeks since, and satisfied ourselves beyond the shadow of a doubt, that this long looked for oc currence was about to take place. The hunt is building at Green’s Ferry at the head of the Ten Islands,(Ala ) Sho will bo ubout 135 feet long, and 3b broad, and is designated to drutv 13 inches light—loaded, to 24 inches—niH be nhle to run tho rivor at the lowest stages,and a very little improve ment will increase its rhtpncity materially. The boat will probubly be completed in l»o no ntlts from this time. Everv thing even to the lust nail is Upon the ground, and nothing hut n continuance of unfavorable weather or some unfurseeit occurrence can produce delay. This enterprise bus been un dertaken by a company from St. Louis, Missouri, of great experience and abundant resources, they having first satisfied themselves (by u persuna! ex amination of the river, and the country, tliut it will seek a market through it) that it would ho succt ss. fill. The want of a connection between litis place and the 8late Railroad at Burrough’s, 15 mils dis tant, will prove a serious drawback. Nevertheless, it is believed that a profitable business can be done by the agency of stages, and tvagoti9, until this im portant link is filled up. The trade that will flow into the State of Geor gia, through the channel of the Cnosa river has keen leomuch overlooked. This has led to griev- •us errors, it is n remarkable truth that the u hole system of Internal Improvement for Ueorgiu, was conceived with no reference to this feeder which is destined to become its most prolific tributary.— We are aware that it will rot lie fully believed, that the Coosa river is navigable far steamboats, until it has been tried, still we venture the assertion tliut it will prove more permanently navigable than any other river in the two States through which it flows. The question is repeatedly asked whether the Al. ahemti cotton can bu carried by railroads to Sevan- oab and Charleston. It is very clearly our opin ion that it can. That is, all that is called North Alabama, East oflhe Muscle Shoals, which amounts to something between 15 and 20,000 bales. It costs $2 50 per bale of 450 lbs from any point between Decatur and the Suck, upon the Tennessee river, to New Orleans. It is estimated that the Charleston prices will average 1.2 cent more than those paid inGulf ports. This is92,25 in our fa. eor. Returns for cotton growing in North Ala bama, era never received short of two months, and ora often relayed four. It is an universal com plaint that it is last in market, after it is glutted, aod the price in consequence lowest. It is further liable to much damage in a tedious and exposed sealer carriage of 1500 miles. There is besides a system of extortion and ex ction practiced (upon lbs planters in New Orleans and Mobile) from which th* Atlantic market* are said to be compara. lively free. Upon the whole, in short, we believe, that on account of quicker returns, better prices, Sind less risk, a North Alabama planter will see his own advantage in sending his cotton to Charleston *t 95 per bale. It can be curried from the Ten Is. lends to Chsrleiton for 93,50. Allowing 50 cents upon the Coosa river, three dollars will pny the railroads as good rates as is paid upon tin, Caroli na railroads, including drayuge at Augustu and Charleston: 95 will then allow a margin ol $l,50 to pay wagon carriage to the Coosa river, which will be barely sufficient. If not the railroads must come lower; 15,000 bales of cotton is an item of cotton they cannot afTord to neglect. With a railroad from this point to the Slate Rond and the proper exertions being mndo, this amount might bo sent the next season—us it is, the railrouds can only safely calculate on ono third, say 5,000 bales. • It needs not the gift of a prophet to predict, that before a second season, this branch will he in op eration. We make this last remark in no light apiril, for we cannot be made to believe that if oil) at* do not build it, the railroad interests will fail to supply themselves with a feeder that by their increased receipts will pay for itself in two yeurs. Texas—Annexation.—Mr. G. W. Ko.udull, one of the editor* of the New Orleans Picayune, and at present ia Texas, writes from San Antonio du Bexar, April 26, as follows : "As regards annexation in this aection, the cry is the same—all, or nearly all are in favor of it.— To show how popular the measure is in Bexar, 1 would date that there has been an election here to day to fill a vacancy in Congress created by the transfer of Col. Cooke to the War Department.— Only ono candidate, Mr. Dwyer, whs started, and heisso warmly in favor of annextion tliut he will aocept of it with any boundary—with Benton’s aod Brown’s resolutions u, d all." And from Austin, May 6. "I hesr but little said ubout Annexation in this aaetiou, tha paople being nearly all on one side of the question—decidedly in favor. In the country, *6 I am told, there ore not more than ten nr fifteen opponent*of the measure. One effect of Annex ation I would mention—one which 1 believe iius never been mentioned before. Should Texus ever bo joined lo our Confederation, it will hove the sin. outer effect of fbr once turning a heavy tide of em igration Eastward ; for not only will the kaciende. to* and more wealthy rnnclieros of the Rio Grande valley flock to this side the stream, but the better portion of the population of such places as San rarntmlo, Mier, Guerrero, and even from aa far us 8allfllo and Mooterey, preferring tho protection tbot will then be offered them, will pack up and turn their steps hitherward. As it now is, the peo. of Northern Mexico in addition to groaning uodar (lie burthen of the heavy dabt which the gov. emment owsa and the oonteauent lax upon lhair mining and agricultural Industry, are every day oapossd to tlie attacks of ilia droadod Apaolwa and Camanclie*.

While the British Government have several armed express packets iu the Gulf of Mexico, tho United States have not one, though in the events daily happening iu tliut quarter, our gov ernment is especially interested.

On looking out at tlie passing train, we scu among the foremost a very comfortable covored wagon, ono of tho sheets drawn aside,and an extremely nice looking lady seuted inside very quietly sew ing ; the bottom of the wagon is carpeted ; there are two or three chairs, and at one end there is a bureau, surmounted by a mirror ; various articles of ornament nod convenience hung around the sides—a perfect prairie boudoir. Blessed he wo- mun! Shedding light and hnppiness where’er she goes; with her the wild prairie will he u paradise !

But they ure past, and now comes team after team, each drawn by six or eight stout oxen, and such drivers ! positively sons of Anak! not one of them less than six feet two in his stockings. Whoo, ha!

Now comes on a stock of every description ; children, niggers, horses, mules, cows, oxen ; nod there seem to tie no less than two or three thousand people who are congregating at this point previous to their start upon the broud prairie, which will be on or ubout tho 10th of May.

Wo learn from tlie Union that the act of 3 I of March, 1845, authorising the Post Master General to contract for steamers to carry tlie U. S. mail be tween ports of the United Slates and foreign ports, &c. is to be carried into execution. The Post Mas. terGoneral willudvcriise for proposals as soon as lie is satisfied upon some topics ol inquiry. It is presumed that the compuuy formed in New-Yurk, under the auspices of Dr. Junius Smith, will ob- tain tlie contract for carrying the mails between New.York und the ports of Liverpool, Havre, and perhaps Bremen, Col. Hoe offers for tlie contract for steamera between New Orleans, Havana, Gal. veston, Vera Cruz, &c. All these vessels aro lo be adopted to war purposes, and are to be currem dered lo the government at any time when tho gov ernment may require them. The government will agree to pay a certain sum fur tho mail service per formed by the vessels, or allow them the amount of postages received, as inuy be determined upon.— The design is one of great national importance, and seems to be strongly approved by public semi, inent. It appears from an interesting letter, written by an officer of the Truston, on the coast uf Africa, that the British iiave been bullying the African co lony of Monrovia. They will, no doubt, seize up on that culony und its trade in a few years. By privute letters from Mexico, we learn (hat thu April and July iustulmeuta of tlie Mexican in. deniuiiy, over which so much mystery has hung, have been actually paid. Gov. Shannon, oor Minister in Mexico, sluted in an official disputch lust September, dial theso instalments, amounting | member uf tlie family, from tlie venerable patriarch to two hundred und seventy-five, thousand dollars ; to the grandchild, is a teetotaller.

Subsequently this statement was unofficially con tradicted, und Congress, ut tlie laic session, provi ded, by law, that tlie sum should be paid out uf the Treasury to tlie claimants iu ca9e it should be us. cerluined that tlie money had beon paid und embez zled by U.

Tlie Secretary of tlie Treas ury Iius not puid the money for tlie reason that ho could i.ot ascertain whether the agents oflhe Unit ed States 1ms received it or not. it scorns that no explanation of the matter lias been received from Gov. Shannon, though tlie Government hnsmude attempts to obtain it. It is now ascertained (hat the muney wat paid by the Mexican Government. Four instalments have since become duo und are unpaid. Tim claimants now demand from this Government tlie payment of the money under the late act uf Congress. Tlie next advices from Texas are looked for with much unxiety. it is apprehended that strong demonstrations will be made by tlie people of’i’ex- as against (lie project of the treaty and its prnjfc. tors, und that they will hardly await with due pa lienee, the action of their constituted authorities fur (lie accomplishment uf ilm measure of annexa tion. Some eight or ten removals of subordinate nffi. cers of tlie departments took place to-duy, u cir cumstance which ceases to attract much notice. Nothing has yet been decided ns to the succes sor to Mr. Everett ut the Court of St. Jdinns.— Some suppose tliut Mr. Attorney General Mason will have thu offer uf tlie pluce, und will accept it ; and that, in that case, Mr. Anorrw Stevenson will he brought into (lie Cnbitet.

Progress of the West.—It is interesting to in Indigent rouderi, at all times, to look over the sta tistics. which indicate the prosperity of any portion of our extended country. Tile growth of tho great empire of tlie West has been wholly without a precedent. For instance the increase of the Wes tern States, from 1830 to 1840, was at the rate of 73 per cent. Nothing, indeed, can prevent the ra pid strides of this extensive region. The fertility of the soil would alone secure this. To this add the vast commerco of the great Lakes and Rivers —und wo may have some little ideu of the nuturoi advantages of the Western Slates. There are upwards of 000 steamboats navigating the West ern rhers with produce. Tlie annual trade down ilie Mississippi to New Orleans is valued at sixty millions of dollars, and the same amount up the riv. er. Tlie value of tlie manufacturing trade of the West is seventy millions, and goods forwarded from the Atlantic by tlie way of Pittsburgh, arees- limatud at sixty millions, making an nggregule val ue of the trade of two hundred and fifty millions, which increases 10 percent, annually. The trade of the great Lukes is estimated at one hundred mil lions of dollars, and the internal commerce of the United Stales on the Northern Lakes and Weatern Rivers, amounts annually to 9350,000,0(10.

We are glad to perceive that our friends, in a large number of counties iu Georgia, have moved in this mat- tor since onr last, and have appointed delegates to the Whig convention. Wo regret that we cannot, this week, publish all the proceedings that we have been re quested to publish, but will make it up in our next. In the mean time, we place in our list of delegates to tho convention, many additional names, and among tnem the names of the delegates from those counties whose proceedings we arc compelled to delay publishing. It will be seen by our cotemporaries in various sec. lions of the State, that our list of delegates to the con vention is an imperfect one, Will they supply omis- eions, so that all may know what counties have nomi- nated ? , The Convention is now only four weeks off It is time, that all the counties should speak out, by nomin ating delegates to attend. Let them who have not, proceed to do so at once! We want a large conven tion—one equal in number to the Democratic conven tion, which will come off next Monday. Rouse up, then, Whigs of Georgia, to this work! Be not outdone even in this preliminary move to success. Ask the people lo meet with you to send delegates loa con vention to nominate a people's candidate, and not a parly candidate, for Governor ! Ask them to join with you in your attempt to sustain one, whoso care of their interests has beet, paramount to every other considera tion ! Our word for it, you will find a hearty response from many, very many, of that same people, although, in some respects, their political acts may have differed from yours. Come up, then, lo the convention one and all, and lay the foundation for a good work to be completed, by the will of a patriotic people, on the First Monday in October next! Be not backward at tlie beginning, but, notwithstanding that you do know whowillbe nominated, begin as though von did not, and then, work to the end. This is tbc way to promote success. Try it every one. MR. GARNETT'S LETTER TO THE PUBLIC. ■‘They bite at a file.” From tlie last Federal Union we extract a letter, which will bo found in our columns to day, from C. F- M. Garnett, Esq. Chief Engineer of the IVesferu and Atlantic Railroad, addressed to the public. The attempts which have recently been made, through the use of the columns of the Federal Union, and oilier here on Tuesday with advices a week later. In addi tion to the confirmation ofa sufficiently abundant crop, the Caledonia’s accounts are also happily considered as of a pacific character. Previously lo her arrival, apprehensions had been entertained that something of a hostile nature might grow out of tiio discussions on tho Oregon question. It was upon this conjecture that considerable speculative business bail lately been founded; the operators therein concluding, from our low scale of prices, that no material decline eoulil lake place under any circumstances, while a very important turn in their favor might arise in the event of a misun derstanding between tho two countries. It is to the respects the Slate Railroad, and the gentleman wlmpre sides over it with so much industry, faithfulness, and ability. Mr. Garnett, it is well known to most of our read ers, was appointed Chief Engineer, by Governor Mc Donald in the first year of his administration. That was nearly six years ago. During tho whole of Gov. ehnor McDonald’s administration, wo were not indif. ferent, as to the official acts of himself and others, and although we directed no little of our attention to itanagemvnt of the luslnutimi. |, ul 7**** Showthit tfa* condition W»t|*Mirftu»,„ tffi? ery.hmg which* high minded, | lbcrali>|(J ’”***.. p!o, esn demand.
