Tuesday Morning, June tl, ISSO.
TIIF. FOURTH OF JULY.
Wc arc pleased to learn tliat are 1
being made to celebrate this day in a becoming man-
Her. Its recurrence must always bring along with it 1
to every American bottom tbs most pleasing associa- ■
tions. The mind naturally turns back upon the past;
it views through the yista of bv-gone years, or by the
light of history, tlv condition of these United States s
when they were dependent colonies of Great Britain :
—we think of the unnatural aggressions of the parent
country ;of the injustice of the attempts to impose
taxes on our forefathers without their content; and j
of the many other acts of oppression which are ex- j
bibited in such bold relief in that masterly production’ j
the Declaration of Independence. We feel a pleas- j
ing jjiow of emotion, when we reflect upon the char- |
acier of that band of men, who achieved j
the triumph of the principle that there should be “ n i
taxation without representation.” The mighty task j
they accomplished, can never be forgotten—-Imeri- i
cans, as they rise up in successive generations, will j
acknowledge the eternal debt of gratitude. It is true •
t hey did not, as is often represented by our orators j
and writers, achieve the independence of America— .
to admit this would be to presuppoee her in a state ,
of slavery. The country now called the United j
.States was free before the Declaration of Independence I
was signed or promulgated. Our forefathers, driven
from their native land by persecution, on account of
their religious opinions, sought iu thv inhospitable
x ilds of tin* western hemisphere, a place where they
could follow the dictates of their conscience x ithout
molestation. When they arrived here, they found ,
no government or laws—they were then free, in the j
wid i st sense of the word, and were at liberty to ere- j
ate their own institutions, and frame their own laws.
In adopting such laws of the parent country as were .
suited to their condition, they did not tacitly or ex* I
preally acknowledge the right of Great Britain to j
impose on them a form of government, or forfeit their j
title to the freedom to which they had a natural and ]
indefeasible right from the moment they took posses- :
sion of the sod- This freedom th *n was enjoyed i
without interruption, until the English ministry un- j
dertook to tax the colon L*a, and Ute war of the revo- !
lution was at first waged, not for the purpose of j
achieving ind :pend dice, the id aof which was then
repelled, but to fore * the British government to re
linquish the principle of taxation. It was not until
after the war had begun, that absolute independence
was resolved upon, and the sages and heroes of ill -
revolution, although they did not disenthrall their
countrymen from the chains oftyrunny, because they
always had been free, yet they dissolved the political
connection between them and the mother country,
which, had it been suffered to continue, would have
entirely changed the and stiny of America, and the
fortunes of her people. They thus secured the inde
pendence. of their country, and established their liber
ties on a permanent basis. The blessings which have
resulted from their noble efforts will be fell by ages
yet to come, and millions to be born—and on each an
niversary of our ind pendence it particularly behove* i
us, as Americans. U recall u urnul unfir :
deed's, and to reflect on tin importance of the legacy
which their wisdom and value has transmitted to us
Du. Arnold’:* Masonic Address.— W have been
politely furnished with a copy of th* address deliv
ered at tiicUuitarian Church, in the city ofSavan
nah, on the Festival of Si. John, the Evangelist, by
Dr. Richard D. Arnold. It is a charts and eloquent
production and reflects much credit upon its author
Three thousand years luvc gone uown the tide of ;
time, since Masonry began her glori ,*us march. The j
whirlwinds of war have passed over the earth, j
spreading desolation and death—the monuments of
grandeur have crumb!;d into dust—th A sceptre hath
fallen from llic palsied arm of the monarch; yen
kin’s have tumbled from their lofty thrones, and em
pires have passed away, in the splendid drama f
destruction, sine - the sublime edifice of Masonry
first dipped its spire in the clouds and shed its bril-
Miance on the benighted bosom of the world. Hand
in hat*! with science it hath kept its march, amid
the melancholy ruins of ages, and it hath triumphed
over the bulwarks of opposition in every age and in
every clime. The prejudice of bigotry and the ty
. rannv of ignorance have tl -d before it, as the shades
of night before the orient orb of day. The lamp of
Masonry hath ulluininated with its light the darkest
night of time, and was instrumental in dispelling the
gloom which once hung on the fair brow of learning.
While the Eleusinian, and a!! the mysteries of an
cient E :ypt, have been submerged and slept in the
dark vortex of oblivion, those of Masonry have
survived, ani will flourish, pcrhnps, until time shall
tumble over the precipice of empires, and be lost in
the ruins of a thousand centuries. What religion is
to the Christian world, Masonry is to the moral; and
in her march we behold some of the noblest attri
butes of nuturt. Not more grand and glorious is the
blue pavilioutf arch which encircles the uni verse—
beauliftd and sublime, isthe rainbow in the
east, where jusice and mercy meet, than the glorious
galaxy ofbcneiolcnce and charity'. Founded onthe
nosiest principles of human nature, the Ark of Ma
so-try can n-vtr Be moved. The storm of passion
tnsy beat against it—the thunders of tyrannical de
nanciatiotis may endeavour to subvert it—but it will
still stand initsown native originality, unhurt by the
I demons of ignorance and darkness. The antiquity
I of the institution—the long and splendid march of
I Masonry and the innumerable sons of genius who
lave joined her ranks, all prove her glory and substan
tiate her worth. Look or. the pages of history for
_ to- noufirmation, and sec how the glory of the world
’■sib passed away, and how the mighty of the earth,
wi'h splendid kingdoms, have fallen, while Masonry
hath marched through her own blood, to her present
macnilicenee and triumphant victory.
Where now are the trophies of grandeur and
inagniScencc which once adorned Egypt and Judea?
p-Tbcy are a id the undistinguished wrecks of ages.
Where now are the glittering towers of Troy, from
which the destroyers of the house of Priam were

La ou the pages of the Iliad.
-,1. -o- ft Hn the sunns ‘of Famainus and behold
v the garden of the globe, a <r the
land of Solon and Lycurgua. Listen to the immortal
strains of Homer, and the sublime eloquence or Dem
osthenes. Observe Philip of Msec don, as he vanish

| as he plucks the diadem from the brow of the Persian
! warrior. Sec Athens, Thebes, and Sparta, alter
nately holding the reins of empire, and the whirl
| winds of faction driving the wheels of destruction
j round the land. Where now is the glory of ancient
; Greece 1 Where now’ is the land of science and of
song 1 Where now are her victorias armies—her
brave warriors--her illustrious statesmen; her innnor
j tal poets. They have gone down the rapid tide of
time. They have censed to exist hut in the scroll of
! fame. Beneath the vengence of Rome they were swept
away, and where now is Greece I From the grasp
j of the turbaned Turk she st ruggled to be free, And
*
I the hour all thought had arrived when it was acc >m-
I plished. Rut even with freedom, th has fallen. The
! lamp of learning has been extinguished, and darkness
i rests upon the bosom of her land. Gothic ignorenre
now dwells on the ruins of oriental greatness. The
i traveller pauses as he wndr ihroughalhe clysian
I scenes of Greece, to muse upon the mutability of gran
deur, and he views th j noiseless serpent, as it crawls
over fragments of on •tent architecture.
From her hundred towers, behold llom- waving
I her sceptre over subjugated Greece. On toe banks of
t lie almost fabled Tiber, see her in all her splendour.
’ She is the mighty mistress of the world, and on her
j walls are waving the thtgsofall nations. Themigh
| ty Hannibal lifted bis arm against her, but she crush
! ed it; and Carthage, in whose walls Queen Dido en
j lertallied /Eheas. fell before her. Csesar then lived.
! His path was conquest, nd dreadful was the fate of
| ,hat warrior who dared the vengeance of his arm.
i But wherenow is Csesar 1 Ho is murdered, Where
I is the rival Pompey, the hero of Pliarsalia 1 He is
murdered. Wnerc is Cicero, whose thunders ofelo
! quince shook the. Forum, and struck terror to the
hearts of tyrants 1 He is murdered. Where is Sen
; ,-c, and where is Cato 1 The one has fallen a victim
, to a tyrant, and the other to himself, that he might
; escape the tottering ruins of his country. And migh
i ty Rome, where is she ! She has tumbled over the pre-
I cipice of faction, and is lost in tile whirlpool of anar
chy. A barbarian torrent has overrun the blooming
gardens of Italy,and the rtsl urms of the Goth and
the Vandal have prostrated her forever The foot
stepofCaisar has been .effaced from the soil of England
• and Rome lias been a prey to the dreadful tiger of
Corsica.
France plunged in the labnrynth of n bloody revo
lution, arrests the attention. Rehold that santeNa
-1 poleon, who was once opposed to, but afterwards
embraced the principles of Masonry, ns he rises like
1 a giant from his slumbers, and seats himself on the
throne ofthe Bourbons. He arose— hp conquered—
la flourished. H pointed the thtOderof his artillery
!at Italy, and she fell before him. He levelled his
i lightnings ut Spain, and she trembled to the, centre of
| her throne,. He sounded the knell of vengeance on
I the plains of Austerlitz, and all Eurojie was at his
] feet. He was greater than Ctesnr—he was (,-rv....er
than Alexander. But where now is the French
Emperor"! Where now is Napoleon Buonaparte"!
Ho wears no longer the crown of the Bourbons. He
has fallen from the throne of the Czars on which he
seated himsrlfin Moscow. The tremendous military
drama has closed, and tlie great tragedian has left
the stage fore ver His race was short but it was
glorious. It was like the brillianlstar that twinkles
on the horizon for a moment, and disappears. The
Lion of England has triumphed over the fallen Tiger
ofCorsica, but his fame is immortal.
Amid the ruinsof empires, we behold poor,unhap
py Poland. She was divided, ami fought against
herself. Sh has conquered her own empire, but she
has not enjoyed the spoils. The Austrian, Russian,
and Prussian standards arc waving above the walls
iofWareo v. They have performed one ofthe moat
: oapu:J djd that every r .me lowh frost the
!wonb of itii- They have dismembered oho of the
most pow. rl’ul kingdoms on earth, with the same
facility that they would have divided the trophies of
war. The sun of glory basset behind the hills of
Poland, —forever a melancholy example of faction
and anarchy. Poland, once powerful, is n kingdom
no longer. Switzerland, whose Alpine scenery
has and lighted mankind even in description, is but
littl superior to Poland. The glory of William Tell
has departed, and is no longer known but in tradi
] tion.
Where now is the glory of Spain and her invinci
ble armada, with which she attempted to conquer
England 1 Where is Charles V. and where is Philip
11.1 Where isthe reeking hand of Alva and the
bloody inquisition 1 Ye Gods! where now is the
powerof Spain I Wealth has made her poor; and
with her sister Portugal, she will ever remain con
temptible. Spain has a name to live, but she is eter
nally dead. The bigotted, tyrannical Ferdinand,
once swayed her sceptre on tt throne of blood—yea,
on a throne deluged with the tears and gore of un
offending innocence. View the scroll of Masonry,
and his name will be found written in human blood.
Thus, from remote antiquity, through thes • coun
tries, hath masonry kpptbcr march, unsubdued by the
bigotry of ignorance Knd tyranny, but gathering
strength amid the fait of kingdoms, and the ruin of
empires. She hath passed through Spain, and her
footsteps in blood are still visible on the strand from
whence she embarked on the stormy sea. Chains
and dungeons still a wait her followers who have lin
gered on that despotic shore; and the rack and the
wheel still stream with the blood of her illustrious
sons. But the voice of tyranny hath died on the
ocean breeze—it mingles not with the breath of the
western wand. The Ark in safety hath landed fair
Masonry on the shores of freedom, where the God
dess of Liberty welcomed her to her gardens, and
aided her in erecting her sublime temple. Climb to
the summit of yon blue mountain, on which the grey
clouds rest in majestic grandeur, and from thence
survey the glittering spires and lofty fabrics of
Masonry, which lift their heads to the heavens, and
adorn the bsautifnl gardens of this modem Greece.
How beautiful both the Genius of Masonry stand all
lonely amid the sublimities and soli udes of the west
ern wild, and views the great symbol of light, the
sun, as he sinks in his flaming car into the watcless
ocean of space. Her glorious march is now complet
ed—she hath descended from the oriental ages and
eastern nations, and hath disseminated her light in
the west—that light must now shine until the end of
time. Hand in hand with Liberty, slie now unfurls
the white banner of peace and innocence, and estab-
Tish_s the empire of Christian benevolence, where
the Indian, in his idolatry, once bowed his knee to the
setting sun, and offered up I.is human sacrifice to the
Great Spirit of storms arid darkness. Aided by the
light of Masonry, in conjunction with that of science,
and all those brilliant luminaries which once allumi
nated Greece and Rome, America will ere long es
tonish mankind, and outstrip the world in the glori
ous march of mind.

Dr. Dyott Convicted.— A Philadelphia pa
per of the 3d lust, informs us, that the jury in
the case of Dr. Dyott, the “free banker,” re
turned into court on .Saturday the Ist inst. af
ter an absence of three hours, with a verdict
of guilty on all the Cotints! fn this, the jury
have beyond a doubt responded to the facts of
the testimony, to a sense of justice,and to pub
lic opinion. He was a swindler ofthe first wa
ter, and his operations were very extensive.
His blow was aimed—not at those who were
Apable of resisting the attack : not at those
whose relations iu life would enable thorn to
recover from a state of prostration. It fell
upon the widow and the orphan:—the aged,
feeble, and poor. It struck the siaffthut suppor
ted the tottering steps of ago. It scattered
the pittance that shelded the widow and the
orphan from the tender mercies of a selfish
world. Deprived the unsteady of an Incen
tive to vfhuotis exertion, and drove them at
randonfßf) l ’ ll the vice to perish amid
the gttAn of dissipation. This, alas !is not an
effort of fancy. The deluded creditors who
crowd the court house, revealed facts which
well might strike with sympathy the most cal
lous. have become confirmed sots—
utterly reckless of the world’s laws. One
vv retched female become a confirmed maniac
in consequence of being deprived of her little
savings from years of toil. An aged veteran
formerly a surgeon in the army—who had
placed a small sum (a scanty accumulation for
the close of life) in the Heal Estate Bank, the
interest of which, with some other aid itc ex
pected, would smooth his downward passage
to the grave —alas! he slid, ‘ all is gone ! 1 am
too old to work, and to beg I am ashamed, and
I feel as ifdescrled almost by my Maker.”
Virginia Elections. —The following
results are obtained from the Richmond
Whig, ofthe 3d instant. House of Dele
gates—Whigs 07. Conservatives 9. Ad
ministration 55. Three counties to be heard
from, one of which returned n Whig last
year, and the others (we presume) admin
istration delegates.
If the result from the remaining counties
be the same as last year, the House of Del
egates will stand thus. Whigs 68. Con
servatives 9. Administration 57.—giving a
Whig and Conservative majority of 20—
from which deducting the Administration
majority of 4 in the Senate, the Whig and
Conservative, majority on joint ballot will
he 16. The Conservatives number 9in the
House, and 3 in the Senate, and they there
fore still hold the balance of power. The
statist of the Enquirer will doubtless vary
‘somewhat from the foregoing statement,
and indeed that paper claims several ofthe
Conservatives as Anti-Rives, although anti-
Suh Treasury.
The Congressional Delegation sec.ns to
stand thus—Administration 11. Whigs 7.
Conservatives 2. Uncer. I—Lucas (Ad'in)
said to be returned by n majority of one or
two votes, and his election contested by
Barton (Whig) with great probability’ of
success.

Fire. —About half past 8 o’.clock this
morning, the alarm oflirc was given, which
proved to he the wooden building on the,
corner of Price and Brough ton-streets,
owned and occupied by Mr. Roscv, which

was very much burnt in attempting to save
his furniture. Mrs. Lewis, (a widow with 2
children) also residing in the family, wc

The fire originated from a candle being
left in the room near the bed, which ignited

Important from Mexico —A friend, who
arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz and
Tampico, lias furnished us with the fol
lowing information :
Col. Bee, minister of Texas to Mexico
had arrived at Vera Cruz, and applied to
Gen. Victoria, then in command, for pei
rnission to land, which the General refused
to grant, on pain of immediate imprison
ment. The Colonel was informed that he
might stay on board of any vessel in the
harbor. Col Bee replied that if he could
not land, he would be compelled to throw
himself on the hospitality of the French
commander, then at Bacrificlos, which he
accordingly did, and was received with
marked kindness and distinction ; but be
fore be could remove bis effects to the
French commander’s ship he received a
passport from Gen. V. granting him per
mission to remain at Vera Cruz until he
could hear from the supreme government.
(Jol. B. accepted the passport and per
mission, and landed.
It will be seen by the following commu
nication from Judge Dougherty, in reply
to the Committee appointed to inform him
of iiis nomination as the State Rights’Can
didate for Governor, that he has accepted
the nomination.

By the arrival of the Great Western, about
one o’clock this morning, (Saturday) wc have
our full files of Kugiiah papers to the 18ih of
May, her day of suiting, and Purls dales to the
lflili inclusive. The Great Western made the
passage in 13 days.
The position ofuffuirs in England is curious
in the extreme. After the resignation of the
Melbourne Ministry, the Queen sent for Sir
Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington;
they consented to lake olliee, and did so; they
then insisted upon the Queen dismissing all
the Ladies of her household—she refused to
do ibis; they then threatened to resign ; she
told them they might, and they did; she then
scut for Lord Melbourne and Lord John Rus
sell, and they consented to take olliee itguin.
Here is a list ofthe ladies whom she would
not dismiss:
The Dutches of Southerland, sister of Lord
Morpeth—the Murreioness ofNornmnby, wife
of the Secretary of the Colonies —Marchioness
of Bredtilbanc, wife ofaWhig Marquis, made a
Peer by the Whigs—Marchioness ofTavistock,
wife ofthe eldest son Duke of Bedfold, and
sister-in-law of Lord John Russell—the coun

Lady Porimuu, wife of u Whig Peer, made a
Peer by the Melbourne Ministry—Lady Lit
tleton, widow of a Whig Peer, and l iter of
Earl Spencer—Countess of Cbarlemonl, wife
of an Irish Radical Peer—Lady Gardner,
daughter of a Whig Peer, and wifi; of a whig
partizun—Lady C. Barrington, daughter of the
Whig Earl Grey—Lady C. Copley, daughter
ofthe Whig Earl of Yarborough, and wile of a
Whig Baronet—and bail’ u dozen other ladies
of the same stamp.
Great excitement prevailed allovcr England.
Large meetings wove held in all the princi
pal towns, and they voted addresses thanking
the Queen for s;.aiiding by the ladies of her
household and dismissing the Tories. All de
scriptions of business were dull, ml stocks
down.
Lord John Russell goes the upper house.
Shaw Lefever is to be the new speaker; the
Tories will support M;. Goulbourii; the ques

INSURRECTION IN I’AIUS
We have received by an extraordinary ex
press .etters from our correspondent and the
evening papers, dated Sunday eight, II o’clock
announcing an insurrection in Furis.
The folAving letter from our correspondent
contain? a summary ofthe events known lo
him up lo the dale of his letter: —
p..i. Sunil mlu May M 11 n’cl'V’k,
p. M. - This day, at Imif-pn# two o’clock,
eommepcea mi entente, if not un insurrection,
of u very serious nature. •
At half-past two o’clock thia nftcnioo.i a
number of men, amounting toatleast 2jj, sud
denly made their appearance in the Kuc St.
Denis. Their presence attracted a crowd oi
idlers, and they were immediately joined by
others of their own party, no uoubt; all oi
them being, like them, dressed in blouses, with
Casquclles (the ordinary apparel of work
men.) They passed down the street rapidly,
and halting before ihe house of Lepage, the
gun-maker, which they attacked, unu, after
some difficulty, forced un entrance into it, unu
seized about one hundred and fifty muskets,
and other fire arms, which they earned ott.
They forthwith passed down mat street (the
focus of all previous insurrections,) and rcucti
ing the quays, divided. One party proceeded
to the military post on the Quai auz Fleurs,
adjoining the Palais de Justice, and culled on
the troops to surrender. Without waiting tor
a reply they fired a volley, which killed a very
fine young man, the sentinel at the door, and
wou dcit the officer in command, and a Ser
jeant. The soldiers (principally conscripts)
immediately surrendered, and were disarmed.
These scenes had occupied scarcely un hour.
The Municpal Guards were the first who ap
proached the insurgents had fired on them.
After a heavy fire, with but little mischief to
either party, the latter gave way, and tell back
on their central point already mentioned.
There they must have received reinforcements
or co-operation, for at eight o’clock same of
them were air. ariy in the Cop St. Honroe and
in the Rue Croix des Pens Champs, where
two shots were fired; but although their object
was unquestionably to have attacked the Lou
vre in that quarter, they were deterred from it
by the. closing of the gates, and the firm atti
tude of the troops within.—(l ought, when
speaking of ihe first movements of the insur
gents, to have staled that they shot a National
Guard, a printer by profession, at the Rue
11 ante ville. A woman also unfortunately fell
there.
It is needless to say that all the garrison is
on foot. The National Guards also turned out
numerously at the first beat of the rappel.
Putroles of each arc passing every instant
through the streets, and an occasional shot is
heard, but no volleys or sound to indicate that
a general attack is going on. The morning
will be a terrible one, it is to be feared.
You will not ask me, as I have asked a hun
dred people, “What is all this! What is it
about!”
I am told that it is the outbreak of a regular
republican conspiracy. That the disaffected
have twenty six depotsofarms in several parts
of the town, and that they are well organized
and well prepared.
That there has been, during a long time, a
smouldering plot and determination to revolt,
every body has heard. If this he the result of
it, and no common incident could have sug
gested such proceedings, we have some mel
ancholy scenes in store for us.
Thereisin the affair analarmingfeature. Six
or eight regiments of the garrison are under
orders for the departments, to be relieved by
others on march for the metropolis. Rumor
states that their removal is < wing to an intima
tion received by government that they had
been successfully tampered with. If this be
true, there is but too much reason to expect
that the insurgents will be joined by some of
the soldiery.
I forgot to say that no rallying cry was oris
heard from the insurgents, but yells of the
most savage and hellish character. Will you
ffblievo it ? The mob nre told that the people
of England and Ireland arc iu full revolt.
In fine, the only thing clear is that wc are
in insurrection.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Equal in importance tothccrvution of a suf
ficient cupitul for carrying on the direct trade,
is the lurnishiitg a .maskit for all the guuds
that can be imported, -indeed it may be assu
med as indispensable to our success, that Rail
Roads, Canals and Turnpikes, must furnish
the greut channels of communication, through
which the goods brought into our ports, must
find their way to the consumers in the interi
or. Fortunately for our enterprize, the South
ern and South-Western Slates, are now enga
ged iu various schemes of improvement, all
having in view the cxiensionof the connection
between their commerci 1 cities and the in
habitants of ihe interior. From Virginia to
Florida inclusive, and from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi and the Ohio, Rail-Roads are eve
ry where in progress, which, when completed,
I will afford the ready means of supplying our
| whole Interior country with foreign goods in
the shortest time, mid on the cheapest terms.
By these several lines of communication, the
country merchant will find a ready access to
our ports, where he will he able to lay in his
supples on at least as good terms as he cculd
in New-York, in addition tothe saving of time
and money, in avoiding the tedious and circu
itous routes through which he now receives
his supplies front that city. In the menu time
and until these rail-road connexions can bo
established, prompt measures should be adop
ted, and especially by Rail-Road Companies,
to establish lines of communication by wag
ons, from the terminii of these Roads, to the
points were a demand may exist for the goods
so transported. In the “Address to the Citi
zens ofthe United. States” issued by Ihe Con
vention which, assembled in Augusta in Octo
ber last, s'.iiiemcnts were submitted, which
showed conclusively that the coast of impor
tation from New-York to the interior towns of
the Southern and South-Western States, great
ly exceed what would be incurred on the im
portation of similar goods through our own
ports, when conveyed by Rail-Roads into thr
interior, even ifeharged with the highest rales
of transportation.
Let us suppose that a merchant of Montgomery,
Alabama, lays in a stock of goods iu New-York, to
the value of SIO,OOO. The expense of placing these
goods in his own store, will he about ns follows :
Travelling expencesto and from New-Yorlt,
and three weeks board in that eity, - - - - $350 00
Freight and Insurance to Mobile, 4
per cent. ---------- 400 00
‘.Montgomery, and Comrr.missiona,
3 percent, - - - - 300 00
Exchange on 810,000 et customary
rates 2 per cent. --------------- 200 00
Interest on 10,000 from the time of
leaving home I ill the receipt of the goods, - - 133 00
61,383 00
Let us now suppose the Hail-Bonds in progress
between Charleston and ,Savannah, & Montgomery,
completed to the last named place ; and that the same
merchant lays in un equal amount of goods in either
of tnose cit ies. His cxpenccs would stand thus :
Travelling lo and from, und 20days
hoard, - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- B’HK) 00
Freight per Rail-Road, of G,OOO lbs.,
the estimated weight of 610,000
worth of goods, ul 30 cents per 100
lbs. per 100 miles, 430 miles, - 135 00
Exchange on investment at 1 percent, - - - 100 00
Interest'* “ “ for3odnys,- -- - - 6G 00
Other incidental cxpences, --------- 50 00
sl3l 00
These estimates, which all will admit to be rea
sonable, exhibit n saving by direct trade and Ra.l-
Hoad transportation, of $931 34, upon an invest
ment of SIO,OOO.
Suppose the purchase made in A/obile, and tile
dificteTiQe is stilt more striking.
Freight and Insurance, Ate. etc., on SIO,OOO worth
of goods from Mobile by river,
330 miles, --------- $l5O 00
Travelling expenses, &c., - iOO 00
$250 00
According lo the foregoing estimates, if wc com
pute the amount of goods purchased yearly by Jla
bamn, at $12,000,000* then the annual loss to that
State, by indirect trade and lardy portage, amounts
to at leust one million of dollars, exclusive of the im
porter’s profits—probaly two millions more. The
computation may be readily extended to the other
Southern Stales ; and it will be found that their los
ses full little short of $10,000,000 per annum.”
From this statement it appears, that
while the expenses now incurred on the im
portation of $10.0.) J worth of goods from New-
York into Montgomery, Alabama, amounted
to $1383 the same amount of goods might be
received by Rail-Roads through Charleston or
Savannah, at a cost of $451, making a saving
by means ofthe direct (ratio and Rail-Road
transportation, ofso3l 34, upon un investment
of $10,000; and if the purchase were made in
Mobile, and the goods transported by the riv
er, die difference would be still greater.
The road front Montgomery to the big bend
ofthe Ociriulgee,would save more than 100
miles of Rail Road transportation, compared
with any other road, from the interior of Ala
bama to the Atlantic.
