From the Savannah Georgian.
■tztcnsion of the South Western Bail Bcrui-
It3 inSuence on the Commerce of Savannah
Messrs. Editors: —l have seen several
a f t! f * es late, y> advocating the extension
oftheSoirh estern Rail Road. These
nave generally looked to Pensacola as
the erulf terminus. I have no map before
me,and am therefore unable to sav what
would he the length of a road, extending
from Ogelethorpe to Pensecola, but sup”
pose that I shall not be far from the truth,
if I estimate it at two hundred and twen
ty miles. This road must, for a long
distance, pass over a sterile country”
and one that can contribute little to its
construction. Nor is this all; should
the road from Columbus to Mobile Bay,
now in part under contract, be compe
ted. the competition would tell fearfully
upon the dividends of the South Western
Road.
There is, however,a point on the Gulf
possessing in my opinion, important ad
vantages over any other yet named, for
the proposed connexion between the At
lantic coast of Georgia, ami the Gulf of
Mexico That point is St. Ffom
St. Marks to Tallahasse, the capitol of
the State of Florida, a distance-of twenty
miles, there is already a Rail Road con
structed and in operation, and that com
pany would be ready and willing to co
operate with the South Western Road,
or would doubtless be willing to sell
their Road at a fair price, and receive
payment in South Western Rail Road
stock. This is one of the advantages
possessed by that point over any other.
But not the only one. Eighteen miles
of Road from would reach
the Georgia line in Thomas county, and
this road would pass through a wealthy
p’anting section of Leon county, where j
the ability, and doubtless, the disposition |
exists to build it without charge upon
the State of Georgia. This would leave I
from one hundred and live to one him- j
dred and tea miles of road to be con- j
structed by the State and people of Geor- i
gia. and psssingover for the greater part I
of the distance, one of the finest co m- i
tries in the world for the construction of J
a Road. That such a Road would pay j
handsome’y, no one can and >ubt who is a j
all familliar with the capacity of South j
Western Georgia as a staple producing 1
country, j
But it would not rely entirely upon j
South Western Georgia for its support, j
It may beeasily shown that cotton would
come to Savannah from Tallahasse,
which is the extreme southern margin
of the table lands of that portion of Fb>r
ida, and almost the extreme boundary
of the cotton production of that State.
To show this, it is only necessary to
refer to the charges which are paid on
cotton shipped from that point to New
York, which is now their market. As- ;
suming the weight of each bale at 400
pounds, and the charges are as follows : 1
Dravage front Tallahasse to Dep .>t - 08 j
Freight to St. Marks 63 i
Passing through Ware house to vessel I'2
Freight to New York, average J cts,
peril). .... S3OO
Frimige 5 per cent - - - - 15 I
Insurenco to New York, at s32i
per bale - - -73 !
$1 73 ‘
Thus we see that the charges amount 1
to about $1 18 per 100 lbs., exclusive of
charges in New York, which are higher
and more numerous than the charges in
Savannah. The freight bv railroad from
Chattanooga to Savannah, a distance of
four hundred and twenty five miles, is
only sixty cents per hundred pounds,and
from Tallahasse toSavannah, a distance
ot three hundred and seventy miles,
would not be more than flfiyOrve cents
per hundred pounds, and would make
the expenses on a bale of cotton from
Tallahasse to Savannah two and 33-100
dollars, showing a saving to the shipper
two 53-100 dollars per bale, or over one
half of what he now pays to get his cot
ton to New York. Such a saving as this
would throw the 40,000 bales of cotton
now shipped from Sr. Mark’s to New
York into the Savannah market, —and
t e same may be said of the 100,000
bales that are destined not many years
hence to be exported from that point
and its tributaries Nor is this all. There
are about 1,000,000 dollars worth of
goods annual y received through the
port of St. Mams. These would of
course pass through or be purchased
in Savannah, and go on flic South West
ern Rail Road, iriince the simple item
of 2 per cent insurance would amount
to more than the entire freight on the
Rail Road from Savannah to Tallchas-
Sot‘.
If this be true in reference to Talla
hassee, the most remote Cotton market
on the line it is hardly nescesary to show
that it applies with still greater force, to
the large amount of cotton now shipped
from South Western Georgia to Ap
alachicola and to the immense amounts
of goods imported through Apalachicola
forconsumption in South Western Geor
gia. Nor is ill is all. The Road is so ;
short compared with other lines that are
projected, and passesinijs entirelength
through a country able to contribute so j
much towards its” completion, that it is
a reasonable supposition, that if ener
getically taken hold of, it will be fin
ished much earlier than any other route
intended lo connect the Atlantic and
Gulf and would become the great thor
oughfare oftiavel between the Atlantic

RAIL-ROAD PROJECTIONS.
We copy from the Savannah Georgian
a very sensible communication on rail-road
projections in Western Georgia. The wri
ter has hit on the true system and we are
surprised that no one hvs pointed it out in
•Savannah before. The Savannah Republi
can, last week, had an article favoring the
project of extending the South Western
Road from Oglethorpe South West, to
the Chattahoochee, with a view iothc forlorn
hope of seeing it reach the Gulf of Mexico
in that direction. A glance at the map will
show that such a plan would jbe a most un
profitable expenditure of money to all the
parties, & be of the least possible benefit. We
take it that one connection of .Savannah with
the Gulf is all that Savannah can want. Two
parallel roads would destroy, or at least crip
ple, each other. Why, then, talk of a road
from Oglethorpe to the gulf when in another
direction (the Muscogee Road via Columbus)
over half a million of dollars has already
b* hi appropriated and expended 911 the sam„
object,
The Muscogee Road from the Flint River
to the Chattahoochee, is so much of rail-line,
a’ready gained,an 1 the subscriptions of Co
lumbus and in Alabama have already secured
5i miles m ire in the same direction Why
not encourage a line just as good and better
•arrd of which nearly a hundred miles is already
provided for instead of an entirely new line of
which not a foot is provided for. Besides,
the true direction in which to project the
South W••stern Road from Oglethorpe, is be
yond all dispute, down the Flint River,
through the new cotton counties of Sumter
Lee, Baker and Thomas or Decatur to Flor
i la. That country too, stands in great need
of an outlet. Its products would pour a hnr
vest of freights into the Road's Treasury and
of trade into Savannah. Whereas a road run
ning South West to the Chattahoochee
would run through the single county of Stew
•rt, a small corner of Marion (in which is its
present terminus) and perhaps a corner of
lindolp’i. These counties unlike Lee, Ba
ker, Heard and Thomas are already provided
with outlets. They are within an easy dis
tance of the Chattahoochee River and the
South Western Road. No doubt it would
be a great convenience’ to Stewart .and Ran
dolph to have a rail way through them—the
same may be said of every Militia District in
the State, but the question is, is it good poli
cy and good econoinv to expend a milli >n of
dollars on an improvement that way, whoa
mother route offers vastly superior induce
ments whether we regard the interests of a
[ greater number of planters and land-owners
the interests of the road itself, and the inter
ests of Savannah as a shipping port.
The Muscogee and the Girard and Mobile
1 roads are on the best: nd .shortest line to the
Gulf of Mexico; this is the line more likely
to be constructed and in.a fairer way for com
pletion than any other, and this is the line
which should receive the helping hand of the
city and the people of Savannah .and of the
C entral Rail Rmd Company.
The Girard road survey runs twelve miles in
the din ction of Eufaulu in Barbour county,
and Eufaula could be put in communication
with the Atlantic by a road of only 33 miles
and by a d’stince only six miles g renter than
by a road across to Oglethorpe. It appears
to us clear, that the interests of all parties
and sections, havirg any stake in this Wes
tern projection combine to point to a union
of forces in the speedy completion of the
■ great line from Mobile Bay to Fort Valiev,
where the Muscogee Rosd unites with the
South Western. The sound sense of these
views must, we think, ultimately prevail over
ail counter and local interests, &over even the
prejudice to Columbus interests uhich seems
to take possession of a! I projectors of Rail
way improvements in the State.

MR. T< XJMIBA
W hen, previous to this gentleman's elec
tion to the Senate, rumor* came thick and
fast from Milledgeville that ho had avowed
himself a Derniicrat, a gentleman, a former
W big, but latterly of the Southern Right*
party, remarked that Mr. Toombs would talk
that way until after the election. The pre
(Bction has been verified, for w, have now
the news of a speech delivered by the new
Senator to his party in Milledgeville, in which
he issues in form, the “general orders” to his
officers and rank and file, for the campaign.
From this we learn that Mr. Toombs is not
yet a Democrat. Well we “breathe deeper
and freer.” Tiie*Editor of the Constitution
alist writing from Milledgeville gives the fol
lowing account of Mr. Toombs speech and
the programme lie lays down for the future
performances of the Constitutional Union
party.
From the Constitutionalist.
Milt eogeville, Nov. 10.
“The election of the Hon. Robert Toombs
as United States Senator, has been the chief
topic of conversation here to-day. It will be
perceived that he is elected by a sweeping
majority, there being no organized opposi
tion. A largo concourse attended to hear
hi.s address this evening at the State House.
There being a considerable fog surrounding
the movements and future course of the
Constitutional Union Party, his speech was
looked for with much anxiety as a reliable
exposition of its intentions. Many thought
that ohe would out on the square
as a full-blooded, thoroughgoing Democrat,
and avow hi.s determination, and that of the
party which elected him to sustain the prin
ciples ami nominees for President and Viee-
Presidciit of the National Democracy. The
work ot saving the Union being accomplish’
ed by the. defeat of those terrible fellows,
the firetcatcrs, and no disunion party being
in the field for it*to fight against, it was nat
ural to suppose the mission of the Union
party ended. It was in a good position to
unite gracefully with the National Deuioer.a- ;
ey:—that putty which was guiltless, both of
studied designs against the Union and against
tlie’Sonth—Unit party which had given such
frequent evidence of a willingness to do jus
tice to the South, and would have been uni
ted for her protection had she only been
united —a parfywvhieh has battled against an
ti-slavery aggressions upon the South when
most fiercely assailed, and, at this moment
contains nearly ill the friends the South pos
sess in th e Northern States. But it seems
that the Constitutional Union party of Geor
gia is to be kepthn. It refuses to take.sides
either with the Whig party or the Democrat
ic party. It leavis t.io latter to tight the
combined forces ftf wliiggery and abolition
ism, and indicates its purpose to join that par
ty only when it shall have achieved a victory,
and will not stand in need of its aid.
Had Mr. Toombs declared in favor of a
union of all parties in Georgia, on democrat
ic principles—in favor of a union with the
National Democracy as a party more sound
and reliable on the. slavery question, more
safe, in its State rights and strict construc
tion principles than the National whig party
tlio Southern Rights party would have ac
corded to the suggestion. As it is, it will
yield itself to the strong political affinities
which impel it into a union with the Nation
al Democracy.
Viewing Mr. Toombs as the exponent of
the Constitutional Union partv, we listened
with profound interest to his speech, We
will not attempt, here, to set forth all his po
sitions, or take issue with any of his state
ments as to the p.lst and present attitudes'of
parties on this slaverv question.
Ist. W e understand him distinctly to an
nounce that the Constitutional Union party
will adhere to their isolated independent or
gmiz.ition and name.
2d. That it will not send delegates to, or
be represented in either of the National Con
ventions next year.
.id. That it will wait until those Conven
tions have assembled and set forth their prin
ciples and candidates before the country, be
fore. it dot trmiucs which side it will take.
4th. That .as an indispensable condition of
its support, the National C inventions, whe
ther Whig or Democratic, which it coalesces
with, must adopt the Compromise *as a port
of its pi; tform.
5-h. That this condition being complied
with Contitutional Union party will be free.
to unite, either with the National Whig or
National Democratic party.
Whether the coalition of Messrs. C >bb.
Toombs & Cos. will hold, together till next
summe’ - , under this uncertainty as to the fu
ture course of their party in the next Presi
dential election, we are unable to sav. That
party contains in its ranks a strong Fillmore,
whig influence, and an equally strong Buch
anan, Democratic iniluence. If Mr. Fillmore
gets the nomination for President from the
National Whig Convention, which is not un
likely, and Mr. Buchanan gets the Democrat
ic nomination, the Constitutional Union par
ty will divide, and the Democratic portion
will come over to the Southern Rights or
Democratic party. If a free-soii Whig is
nominated of the Seward School, the Consti
tutional Unionists will have to come over to
the Southern Rights side in Georgia, and go
for the Democratic nominee. The Union
Democrats will have to come over any how.
The sooner the better, for they can come
now out of the Constitutional Union concern
which may turn out a big W lig trap to eatch
unwary Democrats in, with a better grace
than they can six or eight months hence.
Upon the whole, political matters are still
in a fog. There are a few things, only, which
may be set down as certain. Cobb is elected
Governor—Toombs is elected Senator; but
the Constitutional Union party has not hrten
democratized. It may turn o*t a good old
fashioned whig party yet. The Southern
Rights party is democratized. Its uniformly
declared principles make it democrats, and it
will be represented in the Baltimore Demo
cratic Convention.”
All this iB sufficiently patent to our poor
, comprehension. We fancy, if the secret
chambers of Mr. Toombs’ bosom were laid
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER *25 1851.
; open it would discover his thoughts and wish
; os it to be something like these.
First. he is disgusted with Northern
Whiggerv which Ims no love fur him. 3d,
he is personally attached to Mr. Buchanan,
and has a very decided conviction on his
mind, that of the two National parties, the
j Democratic party is the only one that it will
“begin to do,’ to trust.
His first thought was, with his usually*
bold .a*l dashing policy, to come out openly
I for Democracy and to wheel the Constita
tional Union party, whigs and all, into the
line of the Baltimore Convention.
Bcrr—alas! for these Ir.t's In the way of
politicians—but. he has found it rather
difficult to manage his Whigs—Jenkins and
! Bartow and the Chronicle & Sentinol and
j other important elements were restive under
J the arrangement. Mr. Toombs therefore
i falls back on the “watch and watt” poliev.—
lie now proposes to hold the Union poty of
Georgia “in hand,” ready to make a dash at
the first opening presented by either of the
National organizations, which promises pa
tronage to his satellites and power and ag
grandizement to Mr. Toombs. Mr. Toombs,
by this plan, does not forego his Democratic
predilections. Ha knows wjie, as well as he
j will two years hence, that the Seward Whig
party will not snlorse the Fugitive law ; and
he considers himselfdirectly ou the high-road
to full fellowship with the Democracy at the
next Presidential race. Tout such is his
’ purpose we do not doubt. But one thing
| can happen to change it—and that is, the con
tingency of the opportunity to make a better
bargain sumetohere else.

and the distinguished ex-Secretary of j

and after returning thanks, concluded
by giving “the distinguished ex-Secreta

philosophy & accordingly Lola found It
expedient to get away as soon as possi
ble. At Antwerp an election was held

“At Brussels a hippodrome had the an

a couple of turns in his circus offeringa
handsome remuneration for her services,
‘ihe indignation of the high-heeled wo

Such terror has she inspired in the

The plan of Abolitionists.
The question having been frequently
asked what was the plan of the abol
itionists for the future, the last number
of the National Anti-Slavery Standard
undertakes to answer it. That rabid
abolition print says, that the abolitionis
ts have had no particular pian, but have
continued to agitate the slavery question
and exerted themselves to influence the
popular mind ofthe North as well as the
South, against the institution. It shows
how weak abolitionism was twenty years
ago, and how strong it is now.’ After
boasting of its triumphs and present
vast power, it concludes its article as in
extract below. It will be seen that its
efforts are to be continued, and by the
same means which have given it so
much success up to the present hour
It abolitionism has effected so much in
the last twenty years, from so small a
beginning, what will it not accomplish
in the next ten, weilding as it docs such
tremendous p over now ! Ilore is the
conclusion of the article :
“Our plan lias thus far worked exact
ly as we expected in all material tilings.
Me always believed that the South
would be aroused by the movement ot
this question to that madness that goes
before destruction. Perhaps we could
hardly have imagined the diabolical
impudence of the Fugitive Bill or the
interna! absurdity of Judge Kane’s Law.
But the evil spirit would cry aloud and
rend as before it departed from U 9, we
always believed. What has been gain

or three trom Buffalo; and three or four
from Philadelphia. Wo do not take in
to the ac ount those carried ha k from
the free States along the line of slavery
for slares have always been recovered
in that debatable land. But in the
parts of ihe country where fugitives
have been considered safe, these cases
make up about the sum ofthe triumphs
ot the Fugitive Law. And as an offset,
we have the rescue of Shadrach, the
battle of Christiana and the storming of
the Syracuse carracoon. flow stands

ty between him and Kossuth and acknow
ledging that he had not given Kossuth
$15,90(1 from the American government.
Neither Kossuth, nor any other of tho ex*
iles who embarked“on the Mississippi,
has received money from this govern*
mcnt. This story was contradicted on the
arrival of Kossuth at Southampton, and
the contradiction then made is confirm*
ed by the Hungarian olli. ers on board
the Mississippi here. A considerable
portion ofthe refugees are without re*
sources of their own and may require
assistance till they can apply themselves
to such pursuits as their faculties are
adapted to and earn a subsistence for
themselves. This they are all ambitious
to do. Rome of them we learn are compe
tent engineers and hope to find employ
ment on the public works of this coun*
try. Others are farmers and would be
glad to engage in that occupation. One
or two of those having small means in
•possession propose to hire plots of
ground to cultivate in the neighborhood
ofthe city. The whole party have been
invited by the Committee of the Com
mon Council, to take up their abode at
the Irving House till the arrival of Kos

Girard and Mobile Rail Road.
The people of Coumbus seem to bo
waking up from the lethargy which has
so strangely marked their history with re
ference to Hail-Roads. In obedience to
the voice of a large and enthusiastic
public meeting, ((its City Council has
subscribed $150,090 to the Girard & Mo
bile Road. This road has already been
surveyed and located from Girard (op
osite Columbus Ga. ) to Chunnenuggee
in Macon Cos. Alabama a distance ofa
bout fifty miles. To this latter point tho
Columbus subscription will secure the
completion of the road. Terminting as
it will in one of the finest cotton s ctiuns
in the world and one greatly in need of
rail-road communication, even should
his Road extend no lurther than to
Chunnenuggee, it will yet be of great
consequence to Columbus and of no lit
tle importance to Savannah. Its further
extension to Mobile Bay—at least at
any early day—will probably depend
upon a simple contingency. That con
tingency is the obtaxnment from Con
gress of the public lands on the route
lor the benefit of the enterprise. Such
appropiations to North Western Rail
Iloais is matter of frequent occurrence.
It is then difficult to see why thi3 one in
the South should meet with le s favor
from our Washington Lcg : slators. Capt
Abercrombie, who is prominently iden
tified with the road,is one of the mem
bers of Congress, from Alabama, repre
senting a district through which it will
run. lie will of course exert all his in
liucnce to obtain the desired aid.
Whether it may notbe to the interest of
Savannah, hereafter, to lend a helping
hand to a road which, as it progresses,
will bring alarge amount of Alabama cot
ton to this city, to say nothing of South
ern travel, will probably be asubjectfor
future consideration Atpresent we ven
ture no opinion in relation thereto.
