D ARIBNT HERALD. Tartar norninK, Majr 11, INS*. THE PLK&MJBI EXCURSION TO BRUNSWICK. On Friday morning Inst, the steamer J. Stoni, Capt. Mendall, with a large party of citizens on board, left our wharf for Bruns wick on a pleasure excursion. The party was composed of the beauty and fashion of our city—the young, the gay, and lovely. Every heart beat high with pleasing anticipations— %every cheek bespoke a hue of pleasure, and every eye flashed bright, as the noble steamer left the wharf, for her destined haven. The party were all on deck, and bid a fond, but short, adieu, to our own loved Darien, as the city receded from view, and listened with un speaking pleasure to the hoarse rough mur mur of the waves that lashed the shore. The cheering appearance of the morning sun, ris ing from his oozy bed, shed abroad her silvery rays, reflected by the unruffled surface of the watery expanse, presented a scene beautiful and grand, and added pleasure to the day. The hand struck up a lively tune, and the party were toon engaged in various pursuits of a m use men t. With high spirits some engaged in the niv dance, tripped it on the ‘'light fantastic toe,” —others in promenading—while here and there a group would assemble and discuss the various topics of the day. The ladies were merry—that is, engaging—and there was such a happy mingling, and every thing passed on with such good feeling, that we presume all were engaged with light hearts and pleasant emotions. Business and care was banished from the mind, or lost in con templating a visit to the great (to be hereafter) New York of the South. In passing through three mile cut —or more appropriate perhaps. ‘ Alligator Creek—the juvenile portion of the ’ party, amused themselves in shooting at Al- ‘ ligators, which by the bye, were very numer ous, and betook themselves to shore, to see what was to be seen, to hear the music, or wit- ! ness the dance—we know not which. Here was a scene not only wonderful, but pleasing. Many of the finny tribe, so much elated with the hilarity on board the steamer, left their watery element, and with one bound present ed themselves to view, and then, as ifsatisfied, again betook themselves to the liquid wave. Dinner prepared, and the gay and happy party were soon around the festive board. It was served up in a style which reflected much credit and praise upon the worthy manager. The refreshments and “confects” were ample in quantity and quality. About 3 o’clock we arrived at Brunswick. It was our first visit, and as a matter of course our expectations were raised to the highest pitch, to see the city of which we had heard so much in print, and whose growing prosper ity has been wafted far and wide, from one end of the country to the other. Brunswick is beautifully located—her harbor is fine—and it is a fact that cannot be denied, that she only wants population, houses and commerce, to make her a great commercial mart. The j Oglethorpe House, kept by our friend H. \V. i Holman, is a fine building—and from its tower- | ing Cupola vessels can be seen entering her i harbor. The house is in fine order, and we j hope the worthy proprietor will reap a rich; reward for his attention and gentlemanly con- ■ duct in rendering his guests comfortable and j happy in his establishment. Our brief stay prevented us from visiting the improvements which are in progress—particularly her canal —but short as it was, we slept to the office of our neighbour of the Advocate, and were much gratified to find him so comfortably situated, and his prospects so cheering. If any person in Brunswick deserve-; encouragement and support from its citizens, it is him of the Ad vocate. Laying all kindred feeling aside, it is to him they chiefly owe the fame their city possesses, and most heartily do we wish, that they will render to “Ceasar the things that are Ceasar’s.” ‘Ye are not prepared to say what will be the future fate of this city—whether the sanguine anticipations of her advocates will be realized or not —this we leave to time, the j great regulator of all things human. But this | we must injustice say,that the unceasing and j determined exertions of those interested, de- \ serves unbounded praise—that they are men of strong nerves and decision of character, or | else, ere this, Brunswick, like the lost books of the ancient Sybil, would only have been known , by name. After a brief sojourn the company returned So the boat, and in a few moments we were Homeward Bound. The steamer glided over ; the dark blue wave like a thing of life, —the music struck up—and again the dance went; on. Some of the elder portion of the compa ny enjoyed the scene as much as those who were engaged in it —and each seemed to say, while standing spectators, b warms the blood in an old man’s heart, And makes his pulses fly— To catch the sound ofa pleasant voice, And the light of a sparkling eye. It was a delicious afternoon. The air was warm without being sultry: and the sun was slowly sinking down a sky bright as ever eye was enchanted with. Here & there beauti ful clouds floated like opalescence above, and now and then the wing of a passing bird as he skimmed over the tranquil surface of the water, seemed as if enamored of his own form. Occasionally we passed the neat dwelling of a planter—and then again could see the low range of huts for the negroes, who upon our approach rail to the bank, and gave a shout of I j°J’ > —and anon would come sweeping along ; the stream, a noble steamer —sen ling upacon j stant cloud of vapor, tinged a moment by the sunbeams and then evanishing, j The sun at length forsook the scene—the grey mists of twilight deepened into shadows, and night with her host of beauty was upon ns. i Still the dance went on—and the bright stars , reigning in beauty over the lovely heaven and crystal waves threw their cheering light around At length a shout from shore assured us that we were near home, and nil felt confident, : that “There i> an eye that marks our coming, And grows brighter when We eome.” The band struck up “Home, sweet Home,” and after a fond “good night,” the party sepa rated, all apparently pleased with the pleasure iof the jaunt. We soon betook ourself to our couch—“To sleep —perchance to dream.” Brunswick, May lltii 1840. ! To tke Editor of tke Ik raid i Sir: We will not trespass on your columns by requesting you to give full expression to our regret, ! at not being informed of the contemplated visit of the good citizens ofour sister city. We will merely say it was only known to a few the intention of your paying us a complimentary visit, and that they in the true spirit of individuallity, without a soul to pay a due tribute of respect, received you at our city with such inhospitallity, and at which we have felt abashed ; it never having been communicated by them, to those who were most anxious and willing to pay a tribute of due respect to the esteemed citizens of Darien. We must only console ourselves with the hope of seeing you here al some future period, w hich we truly Irusl will not be far distant, when we will have an opportunity of paying our respects gen erally, and not individually, as on the present oc casion, practised with avtew of which we will here after convince you. MANY CITIZENS. For the Herald. Mr. Editor, —I have ascertained by looking over the April returns of all the Georgia Banks, except the Rank of Rome and Mr. Biddle's Bank, the fol lowing result: —Capital Slock $11,213,730 Circula tion $5,4(56,093. Specie $2,210,208,11. Still there is a hue and cry throughout the State for more Capi tal. No, Mr. E., it is not the want of Capital be as sured—it is first the want of confidence in the people, and secondly, the want of harmony among the Banks, and a uniform and judicious policy in con ducting their affairs—and I feel satisfied the people will find no relief until these difficulties are removed, and the system of Banking Brokerage is broken down. A. For the Herald. Th<* Cotton Trade. No. 11. Mr. Editor: The Charleston Courier estimates the quantity of cotton that would travel over a rail road, from the Flint to the Oeamulgee rivers at 700,000 hales, when a continuous line of road shall be completed to Mont gomery. A road from Montgomery to Columbus is now under construction, end we are informed by the Mercury, that the means to construct a road from Columbus to the Flint river exists, and will be brought into requisition as soon as they have assur ance that the road from the Flint to the Oeamulgee will be completed. We are assured that $500,000 will complete the road from the Oeamulgee to Alba ny, and also to its junction with the road from Co lumbus at or near Pinderlown. This assurance is from a gentleman of much experience and high stand ing as an engineer. The well-earned reputation of Gen. Brisbane, in his profession, gives assurance that his estimate of (he cost of the road, will be suf ficient to complete it, and stock it with cars. We are informed that 200,000 hales of cotlon will be an nually sent from Gunter's landing on the Tennes see rivet, to seek a market at that sea port, that will most favor the interest of the holder of the cotton. That 200,000 bales will be sent us from Montgome ry, if we will make it their interest to do so. That we can make it their interest to send us theireotton, is susceptable of demonstration. The cotton at Montgomery is mostly sent to Mobile, and thence abroad, subject to the following charges: Freight from Montgomery to Mobile, in a low river or early in the season, $ 3 00 As the navigation of the river improves and com petition increases, freight is gradually reduced, and in March when the bulk of the cotton is shipped, it is brought down as low as $1 per bale. It will there fore be a low estimate to place the river freight per bale, at $1 50 Insurance on the river, per bale, 40 Expenses in Mobile, do 75 Lighterage, do 50 Marine insurance at 1 1-2 per cent, each bale supposed to lie worth SSO, 75 Freight to New York, per bale, 3 50 Expenses from Montgomery to New York, by way of Mibile, per bale, 7 40 The expesses from Montgomery to Darien will be : By rail road from Afonlgomery to the Oemulgce 220 miles, for each bale of cotton, $2 00 River freight and expenses at the landing on the Oeamulgee, per bale, 75 Insuranceon the river, per bale, at 1-2 per eeni. 25 Expenses in Darien, per bale, 17} Freight to New York from Darien, per bale, I 50 Insurance to New York, f per ct.,at SSO per bale, 31} Expenses from Montgomery by way of Darien to New York, 4 98} Difference of expense in favour of Darien ; two dollars 41 and a quarter cents perbale ($2,41 1-4) equal to 32 1-8 per cent on the expenses in reaching a market. Thus the annual saving, on the 400,000 bales of cotton received from and beyond Mongo mery, will be equal to $965,000. Add to this, alike saving, on the cotton received from the Gulf, and the counties on the Flint and Chatahoochee rivers be low Columbus, and from Columbus, and we will increase the net profits of labour, to the country, a million and a half of dollars annually, upon her agricultural products. Upon the return freight of merchandise purchased with this cotton, a saving in time and expense equally great will be effected. Thus the premium we would offer for shiping by the way of Darien, to the holders of cotton that now seek a market by the way of the Gulf would be nearly or quite equal to three million of dollars per annum. Besides this great saving in expense, the saving in time, will also form an important item in our favour. The time required, for a boat loaded, to pass from Mongomery to Mobile in a good river, is three days; and the average time from Mobile to New York, is twenty days. Thus, under favourable circumstances, twenty-three days will be required to transport pro duce, from Mongomery to New York by the way of Mobile. I believe, the speed at which heavy bur thens are carried on railroads, is the cause of much IBS OOWW.TY B.BKAftB* unnecessary expense. I wiTT therefore assume 6 miles an hour, as the proper speed for heavy bur thens. Then from Montgomery to the Oeamulgee 3 days From the depot to Darien by sfeamtiont, ‘I do From Darien to New York, from 5 to 10 days,the average we will lake to be Bdo Time from Montgomery to New York by Darien, 13 days Giving in favor of Darien Iff days. S saving of more than 43-100 in time. We have nottaken New York because we prefer it to all other markets, but by following the present course of trade, we can state facts as they exist, and have no nerd for spe culation. The calculations made in reference to New York can be applied to Charleston, Liverpool, Havre or elsewhere. A. B. rr In consequence of the absence of one of our compositors who is on a periodical spree, we are compelled to omit several articles intended for to days paper. We wish Braiuleth, or Peters would manufacture some pills to keep printers solier. A printer should never get “ shot in the neck," —it unnerves his fjT, squubbles his page—batters his I's —and often he finds his form in n gutter, in such a filthy contrition that the devil himself— J (printer's devil, gentle reader, we mean,)lnrr awuy : in disgust. For the Herald. J Mr. Editor: As I find that the Editor of lf*e Bruns wick Advocate is so much gratified by the notice I have taken of the remarks, mntie in his paper of the 4th inst. I shall endeav or to add to his happiness by renewing the subject, and giving to the public a fuller statement of the affair, about which the Ed itor is so much disturbed. In December last Capt. Lawrence (I ant informed) was elected by a majority of the board present, a Pilot for the “Bar and Harbour of Brunswick.” It will he proper ! here to state that one member of Council j was absent, Mr. Henry A. Breed ;—the members present were the Mayor, Messrs Franklin, Dart, Moore, Harrington and the Editor of the Brunswick Advocate. Capt. Lawrence received the votes of the three first named gentlemen. (Southern men,) ; the Mayor of course not voting, there be i ing a majority in his favor ; the other two voting against Capt. Lawrence. Now Mr. Editor, do you think that my signature is used for effect ! Council appointed a board of Commis sioners for the purpose of examining Capt. Lawrence as to his capability. The duty as signed them never having been performed, although repeatedly solicitatcd by Capt. Lawrence, and every impediment being thrown in his way ; the friends of Capt. L. determined that upon further applica tion they would receive his Bonds and Capt. ; L. was sworn into office as Pilot of the liar and Harbor of Brunswick. About the large j salary of which the Editor so much com plains, I am authorised to say, that the Mayor enquired of Capt. Lawrence what amount he thought would be adequate to the services of Pilot, he fixing the sum of Fifty dollars per month; when the Mayor | expressed much surprise, and thought he should receive at least one thousand dol lars. lam inclined to think, Sir, that the Editor has been hasty in this irfattcr; and he will find his friend the Mayor, will be extremely displeased at his temerity when he shall have returned to his dignified sta tion as presiding Judge over the Councils of our City. I am indeed happy to find that the Editor is so much above little things, and that he is so much disposed to be charitable, as to be willing to give up his neat little salary of two hundred dollars per annum, whenev er he does not earn it, but at the same time (truly characteristic) he makes himself his own Judge. I must insist, however, that the Editor shall not put himself to any in convenience on account of ‘A Southerner, ’ as he can always find enough to do with out disturbing the interest of the Editor. In conclusion should the Editor be in any doubt who the author of “A Southerner” is, he can be informed at the Post Office in | this City. A SOUTHERNER. Brunswick, May llth, 1830. From the Brunt wick Advocate May llth. We are pleased to observe that our remarks in last week’s paper in relation to the appoint ment of a pilot, has effected the sensibility of a certain individual to such an extent that a ’ reply has been deemed necessary through the columns of a neighboring print. The gentleman need not have taken so much trouble to send his communication to Darien, as our columns are open to him. If “A Southerner” (who we opine uses this signature for effect, instead of coming out over his proper name) thinks to plaster over this in judicions act of the City Council by endeav oring to misconstrue our remarks and excite a sympathy for the individual who has received this appointment, he will find himself mistaken. To the man or the appointment we do not ob ject. We blame those membersof Council on ly who were instrumental in passing an ordi nance giving a large salary where no corres ponding services can be rendered. In regard to our pilot’s buffeting the billowt night after night,” u ndergoing many “hard ships,” or being exposed to all kinds of weath er,” it is all moonshine. He need not be any more exposed for five months to come than he has been since he received his appointment, or than “A Southerner” was while seated at his table in his office, penning the article to which we allude. When the Mayor of this City exacts the twelve hundreddoilars perannum, of which this writer complains, it will be time enough totalk about it—he has not done so yet. And when the Cleik of Council does not earn his “neat little salary of two hundred perannum,” he will re sign it to “A Southerner,” who, we suppose, wili have no objection to receiving it! COMMON SCHOOLS IN PENNSYLVANIA. By the school law of 1836, the State of Pennsyl. vania, (exclusive of the city and county of Philadel phia,) was divided in 1033 school districts. Os this number, as appears by a late report, no less than 840 districts have assessed a school tax, and received their quota of the State appropriation within the last year. In these 840 districts, in which the law has gone into operation and is now producing its salutary effect up on the men of the next age, there are 5209 schools ; 4758 male teachers, 1964 female teachers, and 233, 719 scholars. Nobly is theold Key-stone State vin dicating herself, after all, on the great question of common scliool education—a question which, accor ding as it shall be decided, may be held to be of the very highest importance to the prosperity of a free country and to the stability of'its institutions. COLUMBIA, May 3—Early Cara—We have seen n stalk of Com, from the garden of Dr. Fitch of this place, already in tasorl, mid very luxuriant.

New Orleans, April 28. The VtrKSiu no Duel. —Considerable excite ment bus prevailed here for some days past, on aceount of a rumored tight to come off be tween two of the Vicksburg Editors, Dr.llngiui, of the Sentinel, and Major McArdle, of the Whig, wc nre informed that a number of bets were made on the result, both at Vicksburg and in this city. The parties are reputed ex cellent shots. On Wednesday Inst they met on the Louis iana shore, opposite Vicksburg, at 1(1 o’clock, when 2 shots were exchanger) with pistols, at ten paces, without effect; suspension of hostil ities was agreed to, and the parties returned to town. We learn that not less than 1000 per sons were present to witness the duel. In the afternoon, McArdle seemed not to be satisfied, and it was soon arranged to have another meeting. Accordingly, at 4 o’clock the beligerimts were again on the field. One shot was exchanged anil the ball of the Senti nel Editor took effect in the fleshy part of the, thigh of theAA hig Editor. This pul a stop to the lighting a second time. Whether it will again be renewed we Itnvc not learned. We are glud to state that Major McArdle’s wound is not very dangerous. The above items are gleaned from a private letter from Vicksburg, received by a friend in this city who politely furnished us with its perusal. The same letter says, “they tire be ginning to fight here pretty fast now. Three at this place yesterday and one at Manchester. The thermometer 98 to 90. Nobody killed yet. More ok the Duel. In relation to the lute duel near Norfolk, which resulted in the death of Mr. Wilson, of New York, an extra from the office of the Old Dominion, published at Portsmouth, says. “The cause of this quarrel, we learn, was the following, words spoken by Mr. Wilson, in presence of Mr. Jones: “/ know enough of Southern people to know that they never comply wtth their obligations’ They fought at a distance of six paces.” We received through the Post office last evening a letter containing a notice of n marriage, and a one dollar bill of the Dedham bank to defray the expense of inserting it. We have ascertained that the money is good, but the marriage spurious, —The dollar will he expended for oysters, and the scoundrel who Ims attempted to impose upon us u ficticious marriage will remember the old ullage—‘a fool and his money urc soon parted.’ — Boston f/azette. Ten Thousand Dollars Lost!—As the steamboat Charter Oak, from Hartford, neared the city yesterday morning, a turnal Yankee who got on board at Ncw-lluven, (where the Hartford boats regularly put in,) discovered that his pocket-hook, which contained SIO,OOO, was missing; mid also his coot. The captain was immediately notified Os the circumstance, and on the boat’s arriving off the landing place, sent a messenger ashore and procured the at tendance of Officer Hpurks. The passengers were numerous, and to examine them all in detail, from garret to ccller, was no trifling matter. However, thd suin*was 100 large to be abandoned without an effort, and accord ingly the work was commenced. > Wc shall not undertake to describe all the developc nicnts of (pe occasion; suffice it to say, what ever else was found the pocket-book was not. The examlnalioit had not proceeded far, when some one*suggeslcd that perhaps it would be best to ustamiucfllic loser. He however de clared that ho was a good honest man, and should neqgr have made all that fuss if ihe facts had notbeen as he stuted them. “Where did you put your coot, when you went to bed ?” asked the inquisitor. “In my berth,” replied Jonathan. “A re yon sure of it?” 121. “Well, I sleep directly over you. Didn’t you say, when you went to bed. something about your berth being too low, and your wishing tocbnngc it?” Yes, “Did you in fact change it?” No, I did not: I am pretty sure I did not : I guess I did not. “ Well, suppose you look ?” So Mr. .Sparks and the loser of the pocket-book went to berth 124, and behold ! there lay the coat, and in it the pocket-book, and iti the pocket book the money, just as it should be! It turned outthat after taking berth 124 and putting his coat there, the 810,000 man laid himself in the next tier; and on awaking in the morning, and finding his coat was not with him, he at once concluded that he bail been robbed. [ .V. V. Jour, of Com. Steam boat burnt. —Wc leorn from the Louisville Journal that the steam boat Pennsylvania was des troyed by fire al Paducah on the night of the. 2lsl. April. She had a valuable cargo for Tuscumbiar Florence, and Knoxville, and $50,000 in specie for the Decatur Rank. When the steam boat Norfolk (which was ascending the river) arrived at tile scene of conflagration, exertions were making to gel the specie from the wreck, and about SIO,OOO had been recovered. The portion recovered, however, was in a very damaged condition, having been partially melted. The hold filled and the P. sunk while the Norfolk lay there, and, in all probability, nothing more will be recovered. The cargo and specie were insured, and there was insurance of $5,000 on the boat.
