WEEKLY
CHRONICLE & SENTINEL.
Wednesday, December 3, 1851,
PreoWrnl's Mes»as».
The annual message of President Eu.i.mobe.
which was read before both Houses of Congress
yesterday, will be found in our columns this
morning. We have little inehnat.on to offer
any comments if our space permitted, and shall
for the present content ourselves with commend
ing it to the careful consideration of the public
as a document eminently worthy the source
whence it emanates-of enlarged, liberal, states
manlike and patriotic views, and most admirable
in tone and spirit. The management of our
Foreign relations indicated by the Message, will,
we feel assured, meet cordial response in
the breast ofevery American patriot
TO OUR PATRONS.
Aftkk a brief suspension, the sequence of a
casualty which was “not announced in the Bills,
therefore neither anticipated or provided for, we
have the high gratification of resuming this morn
ing our diurnal visits to our numerous friends,
and*trust that though somewhat altered in cos
tume. the effect of the fiery ordeal through
which we have just passed, our cheerful saluta
tion “will be cordially reciprocated, by each and
all. With our heart of hearts, therefore, gener
ous friends, we bid you good morning, and beg
leave to assure you that the Chronicle and Sen
tinel, has again taken a position among the jour
nals of the day, and will, ere long, make its ap
pearance in an entire new dress, greatly en
larged and otherwise, we trust, much improved.
A recurrence to the past, is sometimes an
agreeable reminiscence, at others, it stirs deep
the bitter cup oflife’s history. Such is the more
recent past in our own eventful career, which
we would gladly blot out from our remembrance
forever but unfol hmatety in its rude and un
bidden passage, it has left some deep foot-prints
some lasting impressions, the traces of which
can only be eradicated by time, and an indomi
table perseverance. If the former is vouchsafed
to us in the wisdom of a kind Providence, we
shall cheerfully apply the latter remedy .
This much for the immediate past, with which
we have now little to do, and should rejoice if
we could have ranch less. Let’s now to the fu
ture which holds in its capacious womb, not
onto the .Winjes of all classes, but to which al! i
conditions in this progressive
* look’with deep solicitude for the success of
plans, and the full fruition of their most sanguine
hopes To the bouyant and elastic temperament
it presents a gilded, bright and beautiful picture,
under whatever reverses; to the depressed and
dejected, no scene is less inviting. Our philoso
phy teaclws us to “take thingamy the bright
side of the handle,” and thus the glorious future
lias few clouds to mar the beauties of its horizon.
Reader, a word: we have already announced ,
our purpese to send forth the Chronicle & Sen- '
TiNEt. in a few brief weeks, in an entire new
dress, greatly enlarged and otherwise, we trust,
iiinch improved. This will be accomplished ad
soon as it is possible to procure the necessary
material. And that we may the more rapidly
and effectually wipe out all traces of tiie late con
flagration, by which we suffered so seriously, we
rely with much confidence on the generous aid
ofthose friends who have stood by aud cheered
us in the hour of triumphs and prosperity. Now
is our hour of need, and if our thousands of friends
and patrons but unite in a common effort to aid
ns. we shall be made to feel that what we now
reganl a great calamity, may be made a deep
and lasting benefit to us, and we flatter ourselves
as a natural consequence] to the country; for we
will not pennit ourselves to sup)»se that the
general circulation of the Chronicle & Sentinel
could be productive of any other than great and
permanent benefit to society and the country.—
Wesnbmit the matter therefore to your dispas
sionate consideration, kind reader, and simply
ask that you “do as you would be done by.’’
If there are any, whose eyes flash upon tr is
paragraph, who are indebted to us, however
smalt, we beg to assure them our pressing neces
sities are such as to require its prompt payment.
We have already cominenoed to rebuild on the
same spot, an extensive four story brick build
ing, printing establishment, to be tilled with
steam Engine, Power Presses, Types, &c , as
complete in all its appointments as the one re
cently destroyed, (destroyed at night of the day
on which the last shavings of the builder had
been swept out.) to accomplish which will re
quire thousands of dollars, and we look with confi
dence to all those indebted to us to make prompt
payment to enable ns to meet our engagements.
Shall we be disappointed '* We pause for a reply, j
The Diaonionists in Covontion.
The repeat Convention at Milledgeville, of
the Fire Eaters and bankrupt politicians of the
hi?. Party, for the j»irpu«eol reoigmii-
zing npoft the oM democratic platform, is thus
by the Macon Citizen, the editor of which :
was one of the origna! panel of the democracy;
Child “Southern
Rights,” alius Fire-Euting,—Secession,—
alias disunion party of Georgia had a meeting at
Mi Hedge viite on Tuesday last, and baptised
themselves anew by the cognomen of the •/*/«-
an-Uie party of Georgia." ‘The “Coon-
Killer and the‘Coffin Cotouel’’ were there in
their inimitable glory. The former offered a
Report and a series of Resolutions, embracing
the following propositions:
Ist. The questson of submission to the Com
promise Measures is settled, 2d: The Northern
DamoeratJ gives in to the idea and are more to
k? trusted than the Whigs. 3d. The Democrat
ic party is the only true Constitutional party ui
the country, and 4tbly said party in Georgia
must he represented in the next Baltimore Con
vention to nominate a candidate for President,
&c., and sthly a State Convention must be pre
viously calted by a Committee. to consi-tof nine
of the faithful, to wit: R. A- L. Atkinson, S.
T. Uadey, D. C. Campbell, B. $• Jordan, James
Gardner, Jr., C. J. McDonald, Joseph E. Brown,
Thomas Purse, and L. B. Mercer.
We have not time this week for extended com
ment, but must say, that the Democracy ot the
North and West, such as Benton of Missouri.
Chase of ( hio, Wilmot of Pa, Van Buren ot N.
¥.. and Hate of New Hamrature, etc., are very
reliable friends of Southern Rights, with wbom
to unite, in a Baltimore Convention to nomi
nate a President, say nothing of th < impudence
of a movement which coolly steals all the Con
stitutional Union thunder of Georgia and puts
the great de/gptrd jMirty of ‘Southern Rights i
in the \ anguard position of dictation and direc- j
lion.to the victorious may’rity! Alter tha r , ta<k
about the "impudence ot old Nick —you II need i
anew edition of that character to find a nerson
age that can hold a loco-loco match to Messrs.
Johnson, Cokpntt, Campbell & Co. in that par
ticular.”
It would indeed be difficult for any party or I
faction to present to the country more phases
within the short space ot a few yearn, than haw I
these disorganizers. In the early history of th»*
rec*ttt agitation oi the Slavery question, in then
zeal to make political capital out of it, the peo
ple were assured that the "Northern Democracy
were the natural allies of the South*' on this
question. and that the very climax of political
wisdom and sagacity, was to be attained by
elevating, by Southern votes, to the Presidency,
•‘a Northern man with Southern principles”
in the person of Martin Van Buren ; a man
whose every actin reference to Southern insti
tutions had evinced bis settled hostility. More
recently, however, when Mr. Van Bvrkn had
dotted las hypocritical canting professions of
friendship tor the South and her institutions, and
arrayed himself before the American people in
the full costume of a Freesoiter, this same agita
ting taction at the South, through the Nashville
Convention, denounced the whole north as un
sound—not to be trusted on the slavery question,
and urged upon the South not to unite with the
North in the election of a President. At this
extraordinary manifestation of exclusive de vot ion
to the institutions of the South, on the part of the
disunion leaders in the Nashville Convention,
the rank and file throughout the entire South
cheered nwt Wily and vociferously endorsed
the project.
How common was it a few months since to
hear the entire north, both parties, without qual
ification or reservation denounced as unsound
by the organs, leaders aud stump orators ot th*'
Southern agitators. No epethet was too coarse,
no invective strong enough to express their utter
detestation of both parties at the north, and ot
Ibe whole north, as polluted and corrupt beyond
measure oc power <rf redemption. Behold what
a change a few short months have wrought iu
the minds of these exclusive friends of the South.
What an etfect a single election has produced—
how utterty has it scattered to the four winds
their single hearted devotion to the South and
her institirttousl Finding themselves a mere
laetion of repudiated, broken down, bankrupt
politicians* who have been rejected by the peo
ple as treasonable agitatiors. they as suddenly
as a laborer dvtfc hk coat, abandon their former
portions and ort declared rmncipJcs, and by a
new move on the political board, seek to gam
> power aud the spoils, by an edvrt to reorganize
the eni de rocratit party: and strange and in
credible as it may seem to these auacquainted
with the past history ot' the party and its ven
ous shifting*, and now prupcee to unite
with the democracy qjtiw North to elect a Pre-
I Oh. slume where » thy blush
I “ The Georgia Coalition - Mr. Cobb is Gov
i ernor Mr Toombs, Senator, Mr. Stephens retains
Whis seat in the House of Representatives. It mav
bo set down that at present Georgia is perfectiy nn-
• der the control and management of these three
politicians. They bare attained this ascendency by
politic j 1 trickery.’ That they should manage tocx-
’ alt themselves, is perfectly consistent with theii
history. That the people of Georgia, should aid in
their elevation. Is a mailer of astonishment. Ihe
Southern Rights parly assert’d that the com bi na
j tion was intended for their mutual benefit. W hat
was then taken as prophecy, may now be received
5 ! as history with the prospect oi abundant material
r ! for another chapter. Mr. Toombs made Mr. Cobb
I i Governor, Mr. Cobb made Mr. Toombs Senator,
! and Mr. Stephens is to have what he calls for at
- • all hours. The Presidential campaign will find
• i them severally figuring for “their part. They
have used, and expect to use the people as long as
? they are willing to be humbugged. It is a question
- entirely of time, and for the people to decide when
» this Mutual Insurance Company shall stop opera
tions. As their political principles are now in pow-
r er, they may apply for a charter, to secure them
perpetually in their present monopoly of honors
and offices. Some such experiment may he ne
cessary after it is palpable that the Union does not
require another ‘saving.’
The above paragraph, which we clip from the
[ Albany Patriot, affords an apt illustration of how
• easy it is for some journals and politicians to make
assertions, mere assertions, without a particle ot
proof to sustain them, and not unfrequently, in the
face of proof to the contrary. The only truths con
tained in the above paragraph, are the declarations
that Mr. Cobb is Governor; Mr. Toombs, Sena
tor; Mr. Stephens, Representative, and that the
disunionists asserted that the union of these gentlo-
l men was for their mutual benefit. The remainder
is all mere, bald, unsupiM>rtcd assertion.
j W e had supposed that the Patriot and its co
, laborers in agitation, had profited by the late elec
tion so much as to learn that the intelligent, reflec
ting, consenative voters of Georgia, could not be
gulled by any such mere fustion as that, but it seems
we were quite too charitable; and that the public
are to be agaiu modestly assured and re-assured, by
these organs, that they have been nfcdc the inise-
1 ruble dupes of Messrs. Cobb, Toombs and Ste
phens. This is exceedingly modest and eool, not
to say complimentaiy to the intelligent voters oi
Georgia, for all which they will doubtless feel great
ly obliged to the savans of the disunion facuon.
It is a little remarkable that all the political
wisdom and sagacity of the age, at the South,
should be exclusively confined to the organs, and
leaders of the disunion and agitating faction; and
that they alone, of the whole people are superior to
the management and “trickery' of Messrs. Cobb,
Toombs and Stephens, while the great mass of
the people, most of whom are equally as intelligent
as these very modest leaders, are their willing and
quies<-ent dupes!
Throughout the recent exciting eanva ■ at the
i South, the pcbplc wCte’a.-.-ure<l by the dis uiion or
j gnus and leaders, from its beginning to its close,
. that the ijuestions involved were superior to all
| parly associations, and it was the duty of all pa-
I triots to rupmliatc former pcflitical ties and rally to
I the cause of the country. Messrs. Cobb, Toombs
and Stephens, fully concured in this opinion, and
did rally to the cause of their country —their whole
country—the Union and the Constitution, but their
convictions of their duty as patriots, array oil them
in opposition to the disunionists, whom they over
whelmed and routed, horse, foot and dra* <H>ns, on
I every field. Hence, these tears and these contin
i ued denunciations of “the coalition, “the‘riumvi
rate,’* “the traitors,’’ and such other choice epi
thet*, as the discomfited in their chagreine thiiiktit
to apply. Unfortunately for them, the pe< ,»!e fully
comprehend their real condition, and just lappre
ciate all their slang and denunciation.
Thk Tax. Laws op Gkokgia. —The taxes us th • State
of Georgia, as now levied, are a disgrace to ih«* statutes
of the State. Au enterprising tadintrions merchant
living in one of our incorporated village- ia taxed en
ormoiiHly in proportion to the wealthy planter, who
perhaps lives adjoining the corporate*! limits of the ;
Town or village. If the merchant owns a h.orehou e .
worth $3,000 a dwelling worth SI,OOO. 0 negroes worth (
$3,000, a stock of gomta at co»l. at 10.000. in Morgan ,
county, hia tax tins year. A planter owns It'J
negroes, 3,000 acres of land, lie is w<»rth perhaps four ’
times a- ninch as rhe merchant, whilst hi. tax iff only !
alwnit $34,000. ,*
It i- wrong—radically wrong. Our Legislature will ;
certainly regulate this intolerable state of things. Let
every man pay a tax. in addition to his p«dl tax, upon ;
what he is really worth —let him give it in on oath. ,
Some would through meanness and stinginess give in |
their value below what it really is—but again, many •
through false pride, would do it for more than they are i
worth, m, in ih«- end nothing would be tost, and things
would in the wav of taxation be made upon all people ;
alike Bentham.
The facta stated in the above communication, ,
which we clip from the Madison I isttor, are un- 1
fortunately for the reputation of Georgia h-girla
tion, but too true.
The ineqnaliiy of taxation upon the citizens of a
Slate, where there ie no other object to be pr«mo- ’
ted than the support of the State goverement is |
au evil of no ordinary magnitude, ami should com
mand the highest energies and abilities of the leg
islature for ita eoi.’cction. There is no justice in a ;
system that taxes one citizen more than another :
where all are equally protected in person and pro
perty and where all bear equally the other bur
thens and duties of the citizen ; and there can be
no sound or sufficient reason offerwl to sustain such
a system. It b, therefore, certainly a reproach if
not a “disgrace” to the legislation of the State.
‘•Bentham” ha* correctly stated the disparity
I between the amounts paid by the Merchant and
Planter in the cases supposed. Can there be any
sufficient reason offered to justify such a disparity ?
• Wc think not.
The planter with his hundred Negroes and cor
responding wealth, certainly derives greater protec
tion to property from the government, than his
■ teas thu laarv-La ut, whu. nuLwiilt-
• standing, pays double the amount of taxes. This
I should not be.
Vroler a well regulated system of taxation, every
man should pay something for the protection of his
lM*rson by the government; hence, the justice of his
pay ing a poll tax. And it is equally proper that the
holders of property, should pay in projiortion to
thvprotetdion they receive to their property, which
can only be justly assessodby requiring each to pay
according to his worth—no matter in what that
worth consists, whether it be merchandise, cash,
slocks, money at interest, Negroes, lands or cattle, •
Groat as the disparity is, in the case presented by
Bentham, it by no means exhibits a cose of the
greatest disjutrity that exists under our system of
taxation. For instance, if a man were worth a
hundred thousand dollars in cattle, horses, hogs or
sheep, or even in money hoard Mi up which he would
not plaoff at interest, he would pay only a poll tax,
which in no case exceeds a dollar, while the mer
chant mentioned by Bentham, would pay over one
hundred dollar'*, and possibly might owe as much
money as his entire was worth. It is
therefore jiossiblc, under oar tax laws, for a man
who is really worth nothing to pay a hundred fold ns
more for the support of the State thanthe citizen who
is worth one hundred thousand dollars. This
seems a most extravagant assert'um. yet it b nevvr-
i theloss true.
That such a system is just or equitable, wc pre
' sumo no sane man will even pretend to assert,
i Why then should it continue to "Jisgracr" our
I statute b<x»ks ?

e Extensive and Cheap Water Works.
It will doubtless be a source of extreme grati
lS fieation to all that portion of our citizens, who
i- i have looked forward with such deep solicitude
e ! to the establishment of a system of water works
-- | commensurate with the wants of the communi
r ty, for the suppression of fires, and for other pur
poses, to learn that the City Council have, at
’ their late sitting made ample provision for its es
‘ tablishment, and at a price too so unprecedented
ly low, as to give entire satisfaction to the most
inveterate croaker about city taxes. This is in
. deed a great desideratum, one which commends
j itself to the unqualified approbation of all classes,
- the more so, as we may now* rest secure from the
- j danger of fires: and the appaling cry of “Fire,”
with its associated horrorswill loose its terrors.
i i even to the anxious mother, whose deep solici
tude for her tender offspring, is always upper
most in the moment of apprehended danger. In-
1 deed we believe the only fear that the holders of
’ real estate and tenants may now indulge, is
, the flooding of their cellars, by the unprecedent
) ed supply of w ater, and its too sudden introduc
tion. Those in low localities, to protect which
f no provision has been made, will certainly be in
great danger. It might be well, therefore, for the
1 ! city authorities, before introducing their immense
‘ supply of water, to warn the owners and lessees of
■ | cella|s to prepare for its recepfron, as the city will
I not be liable for any damages from flooding. We
| presume, however, such is their anxiety to ob
-1 ■ tain an abundant supply of water, and to relieve
the fears of the citizens about fire that they w ill
not take this precaution, and may involve the
city in endless litigation for damages. We hope
the}’ may be more prudent.
That the reader may not be longer in
in reference to the "New JVater JVorks.'' about
to be established, we beg to inform him that ata
late meeting of Council, to take into considera
tion the subject of introducing, a more abundant
supply of water, we learn that they actually
passed a resolution, requiring the Marshal to pro
cure twelve hogsheads, fill them with water, and
distribute them (three in each ward) about th!
city at such points as he may deem most proper
Small Debts.
We commend to our readers, both in town ;
and country, the moral of the story we publish ■
under the above caption. Though written for !
the latitude of Philadelphia, it inculcates a social
duty, on those able, readily to pay their small
. debts, the performance of which would diffuse
; comfort and relief very widely among our own
immediate people.
Il our thousands of readers and advertising
patrons, who owe us small debts, would but take
the hint, they would not only be independent of
hard times, but could relieve others, who, in
turn, rotdd do the same thing. If every man, i
who owes a small debt, would pay it, there is no
telling how soon the amount would, like Mr. ;
j Herriof s V, come back into his packet again.
It is stated by some of our exchanges, tha 1
California, after all is likely to gain the fraction
al Representative in Congress, inasmuch as the
returns just received from that State are said to i
show the number of white inhabitants to be ■

fraction 71,000 over the one representative al
lowed.

Later from Buenos Ayres.—By the arrival
at Southampton, of the steamer Severn, advices
had been received from Buenos Ayres to Octo

to the 15th.
The Brazilian troops had marched into Monte
video, to assist the Montevidians. Oribe, it was
said, was hemmed in between Montevideo and
the troops of Urquiza, and at the last dates, was i
arranging terms for surrendering, and which it I
was snpjMJsed would be accomplished by himself
and staff receiving passports for Buenos Ayres,
and his troop to be made prisoners. Oribe
wished passports for all, but this was refused.
h was reported that Oribe had escaped on

been taken prisoners.
The brig L. Baldwin, mentioned yesterday as .
having gone ashore on the 21st inst, on the South

she was insured partly in Charleston as well as in

Railroad from Cincinnati to the South Atlantic Sea
board.
We would call attention to an article in anoth
er column, in reference to the above Railroad
1 route, which we copy from the Knoxville Pbbian.
The editor of that paper refers to the interest ta
ken some twelve years ago, in a projected Rail
road from Charleston to Cincinnati, and which
was abandoned then, because of the vastness of
I the undertaking and the supposed insurmounta
ble obstacles in the way of its construction. And
yet, a link of scarcely one hundred and seventy
’ miles >s all that is wanting to connect Cincinnati
with Charleston and Savannah.
1 There can be no question that the trade with
I Ohio would be of great advantage to our section
at* country. Her net-work of Railroads sow
completed, or iu progress of construction, with
- others which will be built, concentrating a vast
trade at Cincinnati, would furnish, in the event
i of the connection, a large and profitable source of
t commercial intercourse for our section and the
* seaports before mentioned. We merely refer to
the subject byway of calling attention to the
. suggestions of the Knoxville Pletnan.—Constiln~

L«ttar from Mr. Thrasher—The Charges against
* him.
Boston, Nov. 26.
o A letter has been received from Mr. Thrasher.
- the late editor of the Faro Industrial, who was
e convicted at Havana, on the charge of partici
s paring in the late Cuban invasion, giving an ac
count of his trial. Among the charges preferred
is against him were the following: First—receiv
is ing letters in cipher. Second—receivings loaf
d ot bread, wrapped in a piece of paper, containing
g the arrival of the United States ship Cyane.
0 Third —that his mother sent him cakes in a
►. newspaper which hail an account of the Loper
expedition. The Court met on the 12th. and
II consisted of a President and six military officers.
>, A captain iu the army made a lame defence
ie for the Government. Mr. Thrasher reod a pow
t. erlul protest against the proceedings. He was
roughly checked whenever be referred to the
treaty with the United States and Cuba.
, The sentence of Mr. Thrasher, as previously
announced, is confirmed. He is allowed two
T hours each day to see his friends, through the
>- bars of the prison. He says the whole affair was
a ridiculous mockery.

November 29.
Though the House has been engaged, this af
ternoon, in the consideration of very important
subjects, it has not finished any. The bill intro
duced by Mr. Thurmond, at an early period of
the session, to amend the Attachment Laws ol
this State, was taken up, variously modified and
amended, and its merits slightly discussed by its
author, in favor,and Messrs. McDougald and Rus
sel), in opposition. It was then postponed for
further consideration.
The bill to prohibit the introduction of slaves
into this State, for the purpose of hire, sale or
traffic, was next taken up. From present indi
i cations, I suspect this bill will consume more
time in discussion —will call forth more of the
loquacious, as well as the argumentative powers
of the House, than any other one in the calen
dar. Several amendments were made to the
original bill—amendments which will meet with
formidable opposition. Some time having been
spent in irregular discussions upon these modifi
cations, the bill, together with the substitute re
commended by the Judiciary Committee, was
postponed to Wednesday next.
Mr. Dawson, of Greene, introduced the follow
ing bills :
To establish an Election Precinct at White
’ Plains, in Greene county. Also,
To pardon John D. Malone, alias John D.
Hall, of Greene, for the crime of mutder. Also,
For the relief of the estate of James Mapp,
deceased.
In the Senate, the following bills were intro-
i duced;
By Mr. Flewellen—To organise a new county
from the counties of Carroll, Campbell, Cobb
and Paulding, to be called Eldorado.
By Mr. Hannan—To incorporate the Georgia
Mechanical & Manufacturing Institute, with
certain privileges.
The bill to require the payment of an assess- :
ment from the stockholders of the Brunswick
I Canal & Railroad Company, for the completion I

us are these:—The organ grinders got on board the
. cars at aw ay station, without procuring tickets,
. and Mr. Barefield went to them for their fare
, which they refused to pay. He suffered them
. to pass one or two stations when he at length
told them if they did not pay their tare he would
put them off the car, which he did at one of the
, stations, we understand, when one of them told
. Mr. Barefield if he would get off the car he
, would whip him. When Mr. B. stepped on the
ground one of the Italians struck him, which
Mr. B. returned with interest, when the other
Italian ran up behind him and stabbed him. the

The Treason Trial.
j Philadelphia, Nov. 28.
I In the U. S. Circuit Court to-day, the trial of
' Castuer Hanaway was resumed. A greater
I number of ladies were in attendance than upon
any preceding day, but the same absence of ne
t groes was observable. The Court room was
densely crowded and every avenue leading
thereto was thronged with an anxious multitude.
The most perfect order and decorum was mani
. tested. James Cowden, the Juror chosen on Wed
nesday, was sworn in. The Jury is composed of
the following persons—Robert Elliott, Jas. Wil-
5 son,Thos. Connolly, Peter Martin, Robert Smith.
■ W. R. Sadler, Joseph M. Hopkins, John Junkins,
Solomon Newman. Jonathan Wainwright, Eph
raim Fenton, and Jas. Cowden. After the Jurors
were seated, District Attorney J. W. Ashmead
opened the case and addressed the Jury at great
' length.—He said the outrage perpetrated at
Christiana was treason against the U. States,
and all who participated in it were guilty of that
| offence. It was concerted and combined resis-
I tance against a statue of the U. S. and as far as
the defendant. (Hana way) was concerned, was
[ made with the intent to render that statute void
and inoperative. The proof against the prisoner
would be clear and convincing, and such as would
satisfy every m?n of his guilt. The overt acts
would be established by the testimony of more
than two witnesses, and in so pointed and dis
tinct a manner that no question of their truth
could exist.

{From the Knoxville Plcbiau.}
Rail Road from Cincinnati to the South Atlantic
Seaboard.
The State of Ohio, though comparatively new, |
is already further advanced in wealth and com- '
; mercial greatness than any state in the Union. ,
Her people are energetic, industrious, and enter
| prising, mid her soil, rich and fertile, yields year
j ly its full measure of strength to add to the wealth
I and independence of hej; thrifty sons. And in
' comparison to the trade of this great State, that
; of the other States of tiie West and North-west
! hardly approaches rivalship. At present the
I South-eastern cities get not a dollars worth of it.
1 To secure it. would be a triumph they might i
well be proud oi. That it can be secured, was
I demonstrated ago. Despairingut a
J direct connection with the South-atlantic sea
; board, they have, it is true, pushed forward their
connection by railroad ’ with the cities of New
j York and Philadelphia, but the great superiority j
| of the southern marts for the sale of their pro- .
ducts, will readily presentitself to them, and the
! old will be abandoned for the new, when the i
means of reaching the latter are made as acces- |
•ible as those already possessed for reaching the
i former. From Cincinnati, there are railroads
: either in operation <. r in progress, branching out
• in every direction over the State. These already ■
1 draw a vast deal of the products of the State into
, that city, whence it finds its way to New Orleans.
or, by circuitous and expensive routes, to most of ,
the southern States. Thus to secure this trade,
Cincinnati presents itself as the natural ter
minus of the railroad artery through which it !
must course its way directly to the south-east.
Louisville is two low down ever to be the per
manent terminus of this great channel of trade.
A glance at the route of this line of railway will j
substantiate our declaration. Thus, taking Dal
ton, Georgia, as the starting point south, it is for
ty mites to Chattanooga; one hundred and iorty
miles from Chattanooga to Nashville ; one hun
dred and seventy miles from Nashville to Louis
i ville. thence to Cincinnati one hundred and thirty
; mites; in all, four hundred and eighty mites from
: Dalton, via Chattanooga, Nashville, and Louis
ville, to Cincinnati We have put down the
distance from point to point very low. but we
wish to be on safe grounds. Now, starting at |
the same point, we find the distance from Dalton
i to Cincinnati, through Eastern Tennessee and
i Kentucky, to be but three hundred and sixty I
miles, as follows: from Dalton to Knoxville, one I
hundred and ten mites; Knoxville to Lexington,
Ky., one hundred and seventy mites : Lexington
to Cincinnati, eighty mites; giving a difference
in favor of the latter route of from one hundred
: and twenty to one hundred and forty miles: thus :
Dalton to Chattanooga. 40
Chattanooga to Nashville, 140
Nashville to Louisville. 170
Louisville to Cincinnati. 130
480
Dalton to Knoxville, 110
Knoxville to Lexington, 1 70
Lexington to Cincinnati, 80
360
Distance via Nashville, 480
“ Knoxville, 360
In favor of last route. 120
At Lexington there are three roads branching
i out. two of them are now completed and the other
in rapid progress. Each of these is about eighty
miles in length—one striking the Ohio at Cov
ington.opposite Cincinnati, in course ofconstruc
tion; another running to Louisville, and another
to Maysville, the last two completed,we bel»3ve.
Thus it will be seen, that by the route projiosed.
it will be but ten miles further if indeed any,
even to Louisville, than by the route now de- I
pended upon.—Again, while t 1 r< is but one .
hundred and seventy mites waiting to complete j
the route as herein laid down by us, and form
op unbroken frfrteyay tiorn Cincinnati
through Eastern T— to tbe seaboard,
there is wanting on the other side three or four
hundred mites, being all that portion of the line
between Nashville and Louisville and Louisville I
and Cincinnati, and the better half of that be- .
tween Chattanooga and Nashville.
There are a hundred advantages presented in
this route of railroad over all others that are or
can be devised, which will suggest themseles to
the minds of the business men of the cities more
directly interested. We have thrown together
a few tacts which all may understand. The
people of Savannah and Charleston and
of Cincinnati, ougptto give this important sub
ject their early attention.—The stock in this
connecting link will be equal to, if not more
valuable, we venture to say. than that of any
road in the countiy. It will be a vast tube,
through which will flow the immense produce
and the live-stock of Ohio and Indiana, Georgia.
South Carolina, and Florida. No rival road can
ever spring up to dispute the commerce of this
vast section of country. Ohio would be drain
ed of its vast surplus products, which concen
trating at her great commercial emporium. Cin
cinnati . would flow through this channel to its
almost undisputed »nonopo:y of the southeastern
markets; and in return Charleston and Savannah
would soon become extensive importing cities,
and instead of the present yearly drain upon
our currency for stock and produce from Ken
■ tucky and the west, the phase of things would be
materially changed and a great share of that now
taken back and carried to Philadelphia and Ne w
York, would fcgo to Savannah and Charleston,
and be exchanged for merchandize that the peo
ple of Cincinnati, Charleston and Savannah are
most directly interested, and upon them to a
considerable extent devolves its construction.
We hope the public journals of the respective
cities will, at an early day, present the subject to
their readers for their consideration. We feel
that the connection is so important and so plainly
practicable as to need very Little argument to
commend it to the favorable consideration of the
business men of these cities.

GROCERIES —We have little or no change to notice
this week iu the Grocery market, and as our remarks of
lent week are applicable, we continue them with slight
alterations. Our merchants now have on hand a
i large and well selected stock of goods, which they are
i willing to soil on very reasonable terms for cash, and if
: merchants in the interior or planters have this neses
. sary article (cash) at the present time on hand, they can
do as well, if not better with it iu this market, than
, were they to visit New York or Charleston. A cash cus
tomer can, we believe, do better in either place, at the
! present time, than he could do for the past six months,
but the difference in his favor, in purchasing in the
Augusta market would be, he can .save freight, a very
I important item.
CORN —The demand is at present limited to city
wants, and sales are making by the small quantity, at
i prices varying fr<4» so to Tfrr«»ij-
rty and quantity . Sales continue ft> be made of Tennes
see. deliverable at the Georgia Railroad between this
’ and February next, at prices ranging from 70 io 75 eta.
• per bushel. Seitd Oats are in demandat 60 a62 cents
; Sead Rye is dull of sale at $1 for Northern and $1 a
$1,12 for Georgia. Cow Peas are worth 75 cents per
bushel.
BACON. —The supply on hand is light, but the demand
; is limited, and prices have a downward tendency.
Wo now quote sound sides at 11 a 12 cents, at which
prices they can be purchased according to quantity.
MOLASSES.—-There is a good demand for Cuba, which
i at the present time is scarce, and sales are making by
' the bbl or hhd. at prices ranging from 25 to 27 cents.
I New Orleans is worth from 33 to 10 cent.’, according to
I quality. In a few days, our market will be well supplied
with Cuba, as there is an abundant supply on the river.
i SALT.—The supply on hand is still light, and sales
continue to be made at $1,25 per sack from store by the
small quantity. The supply,however, is on the inccease,
as the river is now in good boating order, and prices
will, no doubt, be lower.
LARD.—The stock of Lard is on the increase. We
’ quote 10| a II J cents.
COFFEE. —The stock on hand is on the increase, but
is at present, fully equal to demand. We quote Rio 9
a 10 cents —principal sales by the small quantity, at 9|
j a 9] cents.
SUGARS. —Good stock on hand —no change to notice
' in prices. Our quotations wi 11 give a fair index of prices
BAGGING. —There is but little enquiry for this arti
' cle. We quote Gunny at 14 a 14j from stores by the
I bale or piece. Most holders ask the latter price for piece
WHEAT. —We still quote good Red at 90 a $1. —
White is scarce. Our City Mills, however, are well sup
plied with Virginia and Maryland, and are kept busy in
• grinding.
FLOUR.—There is a good demand for City Mills.
Wo now quote for white Wheat 6$ to s7s per bbl.
as in quality, and for rud at 5} a6. There is a good
■ supply of Northern and country on hand, but the de
mand for these descriptions is limited.
EXCHANGE —We have no change to notice in the
I rates for Northern Exchange, which continue at | pel

' Northern cities. On Charleston and Savannah our
■ Banks are drawing at par.
FREIGHTS.—The river is now iu fine boating order,
' the water running over the lower wharves about four or
i live feet. There is every prospect now that we will
have a good boating river for the remainder of the sea

LIVERPOOL. Nov. 14.—We have had another brisk
, week in the Cotton market, and this time speculators
, have entered more extensively into the bu-inesss than
they hat e done of late, though the speculation may lie
' more correctly described as a mere jobbing upon the
turn of the market. The trade have increased their
i extra stocks by about 40.000 bales during the last week,
i and possibly they may add another 20.000 bales to it
I before they withdraw from the market. Holders have
f continued to meet the demand very freely, and thus we
have to record only an advance of |d. per lb. upon U.
S. cotton up to middling, while the better descriptions
i continue at nearly the same prices as before. Brazils
• have been in fair demand at steady prices. A good
deal has been done in Egyptians, particularly in the
common descriptions. Surat? have been in extensive
’ request, one half on speculation, and we raise our quo
tations for the lower qualities ]d. and for the better |d.
, per lb. The demand has rather fallen off as the week
advanced. Adverse winds have kept out all supplies, of
■ w hich there are however only about 37.000 bales known
1 tabe on the way from the United States.
A large business was done in manufactured Goods at
Manchester up to the market day on Tuesday, when
I there was less doing on account of the advanced rates
| demanded; the market was. however, very firm as the
stocks have become once more very light. Yarns hare
i lieen in improved demand, ami a further advance has
been realized ; more business w ould have been done as
the shipping season to the North draws to a close, if
there had been any stocks, but most spinners are untier
coiitract. The'advance obtained is fully equal to the
, advance in the price of Cotton. Spinners continue to
: stock themselves upto a certain extent, and will tease
purchasing as soon as they consider themselves sufti
■: cienth independent, for they consider the present state
of the Cotton market entirely fictitious, and that the
increasing scarcitv is limited to within a very short pe- I

IN BURKE SUPERIOR COURT.
NOVEMBER TERM, 1851.
Present His Honor Ebewzer Starnes, Judge. •
Georgia. Burke C ounty.—We the Grand Jury,
. chosen and selected for the county of Burke, com- ;
plying with our duty, make the following present- •
j ments;
On a satisfactory examination, we find the Books >
and Offices of the'Officers us the county correctly i
and neatly kept, and arranged in a well systematized
order.
The poor School Fund we find about meeting
the demand of the applicants, but as the last year
has returned a larger list of children, we may ex
pect the fund will not be sufficient to meet *he
year's demand, though the fund of this year will ex- ’
ceed the one of last by about one hundred dollars.
The existing acts for working the Roads are so
ineffectual and have been so often referred to the
Inferior Court without interesting their attention,
that we deem it superfluous to say a word on
the subject; fortunately, from the longcontinued
drought, short crops, and low prices of cotton, they
are now in a fair condition. The Bridges we report
to he generally in bad condition, and respectfully
invite the attetnion of the Inferior Court to the
same.
The Defaulters list ha- been returned to our
body, and we have passed to the credit of the Ex-
Collector, John Rogen, the amount of SIOB 12. be
ing the aggregate sum of execution? issued by him,
and returned to us, by the Sheriff, shewing on their
face his levies and by his report suspended by or
der of the Inferior Court: seeing nothing to prevent
the collection of a greater jxirt of them, and no rea
son for such a process, we would beg the Court to or
der their execution immediately.
We especially present to the attention of the au
thorities and our fellow-citizens, the retailing of
<pirituousor intoxicating liquors, as an incalculable
grievance, so thoroughly diffusing its demoralizing
taints through our society, as now seemingly to
threaten the prostitution of almost every moral and
the violation and degradation of the good order and
peace of all our people: wherefore we would im
plore a more vigilant action of the constituted au
thorities to curtail its growing powers—-and an ac-
tion of our fellow-citizens on the approaching coun
ty elections against this malignant evil.
To His Honor, wc most courteously return our
regard for his kindness, and respectful and explicit
manner towards our body.
, In the selection of our Attorney General, we con
gratulatc ourselves, and most cordially return him
0 our thanks for his precision and instruction in his
e business before us, and his accommodating and
s respectful deportment towards us.

TUTT’S PECTORAL ELIXIR.
THIS Preparation is not recommended to cure
all disease. It is adapted only to one disease,
in its various forms, and that disease it is warrant
ed to cure. All lung complaints, whether in the
form of Croup, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Pleurisy,
Asthma, or Consumption, in its incipient stages,
yield instantly to its healing properties. Its claims
to merit are . ‘
Ist. The rapidly increasing demand for it;
2d. The sanction it receives from the Medical
Faculty ;
3d. The daily receipt of testimonials from the
most respectable sources;
4th. The fact that it is purely vegetable ;
sth. That it contains nothing that could injure,
if it was taken for years;
6th. Its pleasant taste;
7th. Its strengthening properties:
Bth. That out of 2,000 bottles sold, but few cases
have been known where it failed to afford relief.

GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA.
FOR DISEASES of the Liver, and to purify the Blood :
Useful in Jaundice. Sick Headache. Dizziness. Loss
of Appetite. General Debility, Constipation of the Bow
el*. Piles caused by Costiveness, Pain in the Bones, or
Rheumatism caused by the use of Mercury, Scrofula.
Cutaneous Eruptions. Pimples. Boils. Ulcers, and all
other diseases arising from an inactive state of the
Liver, or an impure state of the Blood.
This is the purest, produces the best effect upon the
system, and is the cheapest preparation of Sarsaparilla
in use.
While the most of Sarsaparilla in the market has the
sugar taste, this preparation will be found, on trial, to
have the root taste —the taste of Sarsaparilla itself.
With the most of persons, it acts upon the bowels as
a mild purgative. Being a tonic as well as alterative, it
produces its effects without causing any irritation or
unnatural action on the bowels. Some few individuals
have used it without perceiving any perceptive purga
tive effect, yet such persons find that their general
health improves, and that their diseases yield to the al
terative properties of the Georgia Sarsaparilla.
As it contains nothing but Sarsaparilla, with spirit
and saccharine matter enough only to preserve it,
physicians can combine or prescribe with it. when ne
cessary. such medicines as they may consider the most
appropriate in cases under their treatment.
Price, $1 per buttle—six bottles for $5.
Liberal discount made to those purchasing large quan
tities.

ARAR E chance for making money by a Labour
Saving Machine.
Tho greatest labor-saving Machine in existence
WOODWORTH PATENT PLANEING MILL.
This Mill will plane, tongue and grove ’.umbor,
at the same time, and will do more work than fifty
hands can, and do it much better, as it is capable of
being set to plane any width or thickness, thus mak
ing the work of a uniform size. It is only necessary to
see one of these Machines in operation,to be convinc
ed at once ofthe practicability ofhaving one attach
ed to every Saw-Mill or Manufactory of any kind,
where there is power required to carry on such op
erations. This machine requires but about three
horrr-power to carry it, but the beauty of hav
ing it attached to any manufactory, is that while
the work of the establishment may be laying still,
this Machine can bo run, as it need have no connec
tion with the other works. The Patent Right for
the State of Georgia, (except Chatham county and
t he city of Columbus, with a district of thirty’miles
round,) is owned by the subscribers, and will be sold
to applicants for single rights cheap, as the owners
are about leaving Georgia, would like to elCjj© up
their interest in it immediately. The new Machines,
now built, will plane more than twice the quantity of
Lumber the old ones would. To see tho Machines
in operation, we refer you to the Factory of the
Augusta Machine Works, Goodrich's Mill at Au
gusta, the Saw Mills at Savannah, the Mills of
John G. Winter at Columbus, and at our own Mill
near Griffin. These Machines will pay for them
selves in a few days, when at work.
Also, a valuable Steam Engine and Saw-Mill, 120
horse power, together with a valuable Negro, a good
engineer.
