fCy"On Monday the 2d hud. 11. \V. Hidnall,
Eq. was elected a Judge of the Inferior Court
of M’lotosh oounty.
. U3” We are requested to state that Mr. T.
Delfgam. is-uot a candidate for a seal in the
Legislature at the ensuing election.
Darien Money.— The Dills of the Darien
Bank ami Branches, we learn from unquestion
able authority, will nut be received at the Cen
tral Bank in payment of debts due that insti
tution, the Board of Directors having resolved
and instructed the officers not to receive them
iu payment after the first day of this month.
Persons having remittances to make for re
newals at the Centra) Bank, should avoid the
delay which will accrue from their forwarding
the bills of the Darien Bank to pay their reduc
tions, &c. at the Central Bank.
The above article we copy from the Stand
ard of l inon of the 3d inst. and in order to
counteract the injurious influence of the para
graph, we beg to state, on the authority eff a
friend, that the Bank of Darien will resume
specie payments in the course of n very short
time, and in season to meet the wants of the
approaching full business.
Unlawful Weapons.— We hope the grand
jury at its next sitting, will lake some steps to
prevent (he carrying of deadly and unlawful
weapons. There never was a time more pro- I
per then the present, and we sincerely hope
the citizens will see the necoessity of enfor
cing the laws upon this subject. NO man's
life is safe, if every ruffian in the land is per
mitted to go armed to the teeth.
It is a disgrace to the age we live in, and a
reflection on the virtue and morality of our
citizens. We hope to God their is derision 1
and firmness enough in our laud to put down !
the dastard and cowardly practice of carrying 1
conceded weapons. Our heart sickens at
the frequent .murders committed in the South
ern Country,—and every good citizen should, ‘
as htf is bound to do, by every Christian J
feeling, make every effort to maintain and pu 1
the laws of the land into execution, no matter 1
who‘the transgressor may be.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this ■
city, dated !
St. Marys, Sept. 2. 183 R. |
Our citizens have been, thrown into much ,
excitement and gloom, from the wanton mur ,
der of poor Hardee—a man, useful in all res- ,
prets as a citizen. The facts are simply these: ,
Oil Friday, the 30ih of August, Charles
ignol visited St. Marys. About one hour after
his arrival, Capt. llardee came, into town from j
his plantation. Soon after his arrival, he Walk- (
ed to the Post Office for his letters. Rosignal |
way-laid him at the North west corner of the (
market, and as Capt. Hardee was returning, (
Rosignal requested hint to stop, saying that he (
wished so speak to him, Upon which .Mr. liar- ,
dec slid “yon are a man I wish to have noth
ing to say or do with“ You shall,” replied
Kosignol, and struck him over the head w ith a
stick. Mr. Hardee returned the blow, and in j
the scuffle, Rosignol lost htssucK, and.immu
diately commenced drawing a pistol. Mr. H.
desisted as soon as R’s stick fell, and walked
off in ihe direction of Mr. Dufotir’s store, and
as he was entering his upper store door, per- j
fectly unsuspicious of further assault, Rosig
nal placed the pistol to his back and shot him ,
through tin.* body. Capt. Hardee exclaimed,
“J am a dead man,” was taken home and sur
vived only sixteen hours. Thushasthe coun
try been deprived of one of its best and most
useful citizens, and the husband and father
taken, in his vigor of manhood, from a wife
and nine helpless children. I will say no more.
Public indignation cannot run higher than it
now does. The perpetrator has escaped. ‘I he
inhabitants of St. Marys raised in one hour
815‘JJ for his detection.
Extract of a letter to the editor of the Herald, dated
U. S. Frigate Macedonian, >
Pensacola Bay, August 20, 1839. j
The whole American West Indian squadron,
is nowYn this harbour, where it will probably
remain during the months of August and Sep
tember, to avoid the hurricanes, so prevalent on
this coast at this season. Frigate, Macedonian,
of 4g guns. Sloop, Levant, 20 guns. Sloop,
Warren, and Vandalia, of 24 guns each. And
the Sloops, Erie, and Ontario, 22 guns each.
Mounting in all 160 guns, and manned by
about 1300 Seamen and Marines—a force quite
sufficient for the protection of our Commer
cial interests in these Seas. . Wm. Branford
Shubrick, is Commodore, a very efficient Of
ficer. and most courteous gentleman. All of
these vessels have but lately returned from
cruises in various parts of the Gulf, and among
the West Indian Islands—they bring no news
commercial; or political,—ln Mexico, they
speak of invading Texas, with 16000 troops:
but it is thought to be all talk.
Besides the vessels of our Squadron—there
are now in this harbour, the following ves
sels of the French West India Fleet, viz. La
Gloive, Ingate, ofSOguns. The Sloop of War,
Naide of 24 guns. And Brig, Dunois of 16
guns. This is a part of the force, that shatter
ed Vera-Cruz. These Vessels will remain
here, it is thought, for some months. Visits of
etiquette, and politeness, have been interchan
ged belwccnthe Commodores, and otbei offi
cers of the tw* squadrons, and there seems to
be much good feeling exiting on both sides,
notwithstanding, the slight misunderstanding,
or rather interruption to the same, that ccc.tr-
i red on the recent visit, of Admiral Baudain,
the one armed hero of Vera-Cruze, to this port.
Nine Vessels of War, i assure you, present
quite a fine spectacle; I only wish that they
were lying near Doboy, and I on board,—l24
guns, were fired in the space of half an hour,
on the visit of the French Commodore, to the
different ships of the American Squadron.
How would you have relished such a noise
about your ears, Mr. Editor ? The glaziers
would have had business enough.
Captcre of the Spanish Schooner La Arm
stead. —This famous piratical vessel, about
which so much has recently been said, lias been
captured, and the anxiety is therefore over.
She, together with her black crew of fifty-nine
men and three whites, were seized on Tuesday
morning last in Gardener’s Bay, west of Mon
j tauk Point, Long Island, by Lieut. Charles
W. Chamieey, of the United States Surveying
brig Washington. Iu the afternoon she was
towed into New London, where she will prob
ably remain till the time arrives for her to be
given up to the Spanish authorities.
Il appears thatthe blacks put into Gardener’s
Bay for water, and part were ashore when the
schooner was captured. They had plenty of
provisions on board, and also specie and small \
arms. Some accounts say, that there arc two
hundred thousand dollars in coin stowed away :
in her hold. Many of the blacks wore stark
naked and had bulls containing doubloons tied
around their waists. One negro leaped over |
hoard when Lieut. Clmuncey boarded her but
was brought too with a pistol, shot, but not,!
however, till he had cut the pelt -front his body,
holding five hundred doubloons. They were
very flush w ith their money, and had paid the ‘
farmers,on Long Islaqd,, a doubloon per barrel J
of water. She sailed from Havana the Hih of
last month for St. Jagode Cuba, with a captain,
crew, several passengers, and fifty-nine blacks.
They, together with the cargo, were owned by !
Mr. Cavrias, of Punto Punepe, who, with Mr. |
Joseph Ring, his nephew, were on board as j
passengers. When twodays out from Havana, |
the blacks rose upon and murdered all but two I
of the whiles on board. These two were sail
ors. and escaped by jumping overboard, and in
the long-boat reached shwre. The knives which
they are reported to carry are what are called j
iu Cuba Machetes, and are used by the ne
groes in cutting the sugar c.ane. One of the
sailors in leaping overboard received a severe
rut from one of them.
Important from the Sub-Tureasurers in
I'aris.— Notwithstanding all the statements
made to the contrary, in relation to those two i
’eminent sutureasurers, Swartwout and Price, I
they intend to return to this country in the j
course of a very few months. Col. James B. \
Murray, who went to Europe a short time
since, has written a long letter to Mr. Gilpin,
Solicitor of ilie Treasury, in which he says,
that lie had seen Price and Swartwout in Par- j
is. and had several long and interesting eonver-1
salions with them. It appears, by Col. Murray’s
statements, that Swartwout denies being in
jdebted to the United States Government to a
larger amount than $B6,000; and, moreover, he
pledges himself, his property, “his fortune and
his sacred honor,” that if the United States
Government will pledge itself not to molest
him, to secure his person harmless from urrest,
or detention against his will, that he will prove
(if placed m a situation similar to Mr. Gouvt rii
eur’s) before a jury, that Jieonly owes our Gov
ernment about 880,000; that he is able and wil
ling tb pay this sum and still have ujarge for
tune left behind. . *
This, if it can be wf!l ‘bi a
highly important movement, atuWi extremely
interesting developmeiß, notfmFy fbr the Gov-’
eminent, but for a large nttmberof Mr.*S*viy;ti
wout’s Jellovv citizens and person el friends.
It appears that Mr. S. has a very large interest
in the Cumberland Coal Mines, and these arc
likely to turn out a rich and profitable specul
ation. A company in London, with a large
capita], and throughly acquainted with the
resour res of the Cumberland Coal Mines, have
undertaken to work them; and Mr. Swartwout
says, that if the United Slates Government will
allow all this to be done under his superintend
ence, he will be amply able to meet every just
claim they have against him, and to realize for
himself a fortune besides of 8700,000.

“ Strike ! —But Hear !”
A correspondent of the Herald has thought
: proper to bring before the citizens of this soc
! tion of Country, the subject of a repeal of the
j present retail law. .
He would have the citizens petition (lie next
Legislature to pass a law to prevent the retail
of ardent spirits, in order, 1 presume, to stay
the evil of Intemperance. Does not the writer
1 know that the Legislature never will pass so
illegal an act, and if it ever did, that it could
never Is* enforced l Docs lie not, ns well ns
! every member of the community know, that
the laws of the State upon this subject arc quite
sufficient, iu all conscience, to prevent the traf
fic iu liquor l If the retail of liquor isan evil,
why do not the authorities of Darien put the
laws in force ! I will answer the question:
public opinion is in favor of the retail law—and
j every man in the community has a just right
j to dispose of lus property as lie thinks pro-
I per. .
, I regret to see that (lie advocates of Temper
ance have become so intemperate of late ns to
denounce every man who does not think as
they think ; and that they should wish to draw
; a line between those who are Temperance men,
: and those who are not. The Temperance
Societies of our State have now entered the
arena of the political world, and relying on
their own strength, arc determined to elect no
man to the next Legislature who indulges iu
tlic use of liquor, or who will not further and
udvocute their cause. Temperance is a very
good tiling in its proper sphere—but when its
advocates begin to proscribe citizens because
they will not think as they think, or do, as they
do, it behoves our citizens, to watch with
jeuhnts eyes, their conduct—lest in an imgnr
ded moittent, we have our dearest liberties
wrested from us. Fanatism in every age, since
the commenceimmt of the world, has had its
day—and it is the duty of every Republican
to watch and see that it should not pass a cer
tain boundary*
Our government is a government of public
’ opinion,—and no laws passed in opposition to
that will, ran ever be enforced. EveryAmerican
should be proud of his country, and feel an ar
dent desire that our high privileges, purchased
by tho blood and by the toil of our forefathers
may be handed down unimpared to succeeding
generations. Do we wish to continue them in
all their glory ? Then we must resist the first
encroachment on our rights-the first effort to do.

in Seeking more, we lose the blessings we at
present enjoy.
If philanthropy is the objectof the Temper
ance Society why not turn their attention to
the condition of the poor and destitute ? Why
not establish a system of general Education,
where true morality apd virtue, willhe taught.
( Then will they strike at the root of all evil.
Every one knows, thut th'e early impressions
okyoutti, are those which form las principles, *
and guide hipi through life.
I But, alas! if tlie sentinels on the watch,

i ;tnd ourtotizeiis forgot the price of Liberty—
\ the fate of our Republic is sealed. He who
1 diffuses the most happiness among iiis fellow
1 men, who guards with tmeensitig care the Lib-
I erties of his country, who will boldly rail* his
voice when his rights of citizenship is Invaded,
and who will raise the tocsin of alarm when |
an attempt is made to sap the foundation of i
the Temple of Freedom, is tlie best patriot ! j
These are the men not to be shaken by the vio- j
lance of party —they “are the chief corner
stones,” in our - illustrious fabric; and should
it ever fall, which Heaven forbid, their names
! will be found written on its ruins ! Their
| manly virtues shall live, and like the firm rock,
j which amid the ocean rears its majestic head
above the waves and storms, their memory
j will remain precious and unshaken.
In a future communication I will point out
! some oftiie errors which the Temperance So
ciety have committed, and show that they have
attempted to take from the citizens their indi
vidual rights. I allude to the town ordinance
attempted to be enforced iu Darien preventing
the proprietors of our Hotels, from supplying
j the wants of those who sojourn with them,
j The act is illegal,-and if not illegal, is oppres
sive and tyrannical, & should not be tolerated
by our citizens. Temperance is truly a very
fine thing, and I am a decided temperance ad
vocate. But when inclination prompts, I wish
no individual to question my right !,o indulge
niy appetite as I think proper.
I regret to see that the fairer portion of
our community have also caught the temper
ance m'Lriia! These precious arid delicate lillies
are signing pledges to abstain from the use
of ardant spirits ! Who ever thought that they
were in the habit of indulging in the use of
1 , brandy and gin ? Prodigious 1
But this is certainly the age of wonders. I
1 beg respectfully to tell those fair petitioners,
’ that it is more fitting for them to attend to do
-1 ntestic matters, and mend the breeches- which
‘; require it in their families, and leave the
-1 j breaches in the law to be mended by tlfeir fa
-1 thers, husbands and brothers. Nature never
1 intended them to mingle with the affairs of
1 ’ State, but assigned to them important duties
| which are connected with the domestic hearth.
■ There is the sphere in which they shine tire
if brightest—’tisthere they can build the bright
•! est monument of glory —and like L.ucretia of
o'.d. stimulate the sterner sex. to noble deeds
of valor. The lilly which is so cheering to
the sense and beautiful to the eye, is never
seen to bloom when a bleak December wind
sweeps tile forest—nor should the delicate hand
of the fair daughter of Columbia, mingle in the

FOR THE DARIEN HERALD.
THE RETAIL LAW.
Mr. Editor:
My attention has been drawn of late, very
frequently, to subject that appears likewise
to have atti acted the attention of someone
wht has so feelingly expressed his views in
the Herald of the 3d inst. I have taken the
liberty of your columns, not for the purpose of
gratifying either a morbid vanity or a malig
nant spleen towards the author, nor for the
purpose of throwing the least obstacle ill the
way of that great and meritorious moral reform
upon the subject of intemperance, so ardently
desired by every philanthropist and every
friend of humanity.
1 know not the author of the nrtiele alluded
to, but 1 respect him for the cause he evident
ly wishes to advocate. 1 cun only say, that I
regret much, that lie, as well as many other
highly respectable and zealous citizens, do not
take a more comprehensive, liberal uud prac
ticable view of the subject. “That the preva
lence of grog shops in uny society is an evil to
be depreciated”—“that they conduce neither
to the morality, welfare, nor respectability, of
any class of men”—“that they tend to the
subversion of good order—to the grossest im
morality,and to the loss of domestic happiness,”
I am as fully convinced of, as Lite aforesaid
correspondent, or any other of the well mean
ing citizens who are circulating, and advoca
ting the doctrine of the petition in question.—
That petition prays for an additonal enactment
by the Btate Legislature, to prohibit the sale
of ardent spirits entirely, under a certain quan
tity, supposed to be sufficiently large to prevent
effectually, the sale of the aitide; unless per
sons wish to purchase at whole sale. 1 would
suppose gentlemen had seen enough of the
fifteen gallon law, in its operation in some of
the Nolhern States, to convince them of the
inutility of attempting to coerce people into any
measure of moral reform, against their own in
elinat ion,and in advance of the nge and public o
pinion. In those States, where the good people
have been induced to enact heavy penal laws
against the selling of spiritoils liquors under a
less quantity than from five to fifteen gallons,
what has been the result ? The result has
been, a strong determination of a majority, to
put down the law —that only excludes Ihe
poor man from the free exercise of what lie
deems an unalienable privaledge, to the inter
est and gratification of the wealthy—i;: create
discord and hatred among the citizens—to es
tablish a grand prerogative for the rich, thut is
scarcely paralleled in the annals of despotism.
In fine, lias it not elicited from some of our
■wio~ profound jurists, and liberal
philanthropists, Ule congUlu _
tionality, the wisdom and the I>i(i 0 f
such partial and unequal laws? It is easy to see
that such laws arc evidently calculated to iu
creas, instead of diminishing, Ihe desire of the
poor man for the indulgence of the prohibited
article,while it offers not the slightest obstacle,
to the gratification of the more wealthy. It is
a well known fact of moral Philosophy, that the
human mind is incapable of check or control,
so long as the body has the free exercise of its
natural functions ; and that it is natural for a
desire, or morbid appetite, to seek the at
tainment of any object, trivial or important,
with an ardour and exertion commensurate
with the natural and artificial obstacles thrown
in the way of their gratification. It is easy to
sSethat when a law of that nature is allowed
to exist, the man of humble means will behold
his wealthy neighbor with an sye of the keen
est envy ; and will look upon him as the hap
py recipient of priviledges from which lie is
only debarred by his poverty. Do those laws
when enforced with all possible rigor, prevent
the inebriate or the moderate drinker from
gratifying their love of strong drink? The
strongest laws that the ingenuity of man can
invent, or authority enforce, have always been
evaded, and suffered to become a dead letter
upon the statutes; a striking monument, of the
shortsightedness of legislators, iu attempting
to coerce a people into a measure at variance
with the feelings, the wishes, and the preju
dices of the great mass of the people. What
is the cry, when any sectarian denomination j
attempts to coerce people of different religious |
faith, to embrace its creed? Is it not proscrip- ;
tion, accompanied by active demonstrations of
a firm and uiifiincliing determination to abide
by their creed at any hazzard, and at any cost,
if only for opinion's sake ? If legislators are
so unwise as to pass laws of an unequal and
partial nature, granting priviledges or iramu*!
nities to one class of people, that are denied
another; and living too under an Enlightened
and constitutional government, professedly
granting to all citizens, free and euual rights;
what V.'ould be—what ever has been the cry ?
Oppression! Persecution! Tyranny and Aris
tocratic usurpation!
I will not attempt tedraw any picture of the
unhappy results <#a collision of two parties
of any one body politic : the pages of history
afford too many instances of the dreadful re
sults ; and the'same faithful chronicles plainly
show, that almost every revolution and every
convulsion of a state, has its origin in some’
single difference of opinion or breach of some
general pri’ iledge, of a minor nature, and of a
less general tendency than the one in question.
No monarch-of the old world, at the present
day, would dare to pass an edict prohibiting to
a portion of his subjects the exercise of a pri
viledge of the like nature. Other govern
ments, as well as our own, may ~ass restric
tive acts in relation to such matters, even
should they be at war with the spirit of our
constitution, and of chartered rights ; but they
must be extremely cautious howthey pass acts
of prohibition, and those too, of a partial na
ture. They tuny, In’our free government, im
pose light or heavy duties, either directly or
indirectly, upon any specified article, and it
may he submitted to ; but they must beware
how they say to Ihe people, in the voice of au
thority, thou sit alt “ taste not, handle not,
toudh not.”
I wish to bo understood, Mr. Editor, that lit
saying these thing*, I am not opposed to the
principlesof temperance, for if I know my own
heart, I am ns anxious for the spreading and
adoption of its principles, as any other person.
I only say that I am opposed to the petition
in question, more from the impracticability of
adopting its principles, than front immediate
opposition to iu real merits. Another objec
tion, that 1 have to the petition, istha-fnet, thut
the legislature has already done all It can pos
sibly do iu the way of enactments, to protect
our citizens from the evil effects of intemper
ance, and the iudiscreminute traffic of ardent
spirits;—and what is the result ? They have
frpm a want of.disposition among the people to
enforce them utmost becomeu dead letter, and
they ever will become so in proportion to the
severity of the law and the opposition to it. Our
statutes are filled with penal enactments
against the traffic of spiritous liquors, with our
coloured population, inflicting high penalties
and severe punishment for the slightest offence,
and what is the result ? A daily violatation by
hundreds of citizens of this state, and that too
directly before our eyes; and so little notice
is taken of the offence, often repented—that the
laws have become almost obsolete. Can people
expect that other and more objectionable laws
would be more respected ? Candid men will
say no. Let us enforce what laws we have al
ready made, and if they fail to produce the de
sired effect, then if practicable, we will enact
stronger and more effectual laws. After all,
laws never answer the purpose of any system
of moral, reform, other than in the mildest
form, so as to operate in a manner almost im
perceptably upon community, and rather as an
humble auxilliary Os public opinion, tlmn as
suming the nature of a boisterous leader,
speaking in the high tone of will and power.—
Let the righteous cause of temperance, like our
holy religion, stand upon its own merits, and
seek not the feeble aid of unrespected laws,
and it will continue to exercise its benign in
fluence over our community, that will forever
crown with imperishable glory, the names of
those illustrious persons who first planed the
institution, and conferred thereby, countless
blessings upon a truly benighted and I ‘ted
world.
Let the friends of Temperance persevere in
a just cause which has been blessed with a
success far beyond the most sanguine hopes
of the early friends of the caV.se; let them, I
repeat, continue their exertions in a just and
peacable manner, and like the “still small
voice” strive to convince the understanding,
ratltet than struggle, with the passions and pre
judices of our nature, and they will still go on
“conquering and to conquer,” and they will be
the means of scattering more blessings upon
the land, then the supporters of any institu
tion, save thut of the religion of the gospel.
Lel them adopt such a course of action as

Mr. EbiTon-:’
It is not often that I take an interest in Elec
tions, but really I feel this fall curious to know
who arc to be supported for the Legislature
in this county —there are u number of gentle
men with us, who if they would serve might
do some good for the county —we are tired of
this old system of trotting up the hill, and ri
ding down again. .If we have a delegation at
all, let it be composed of men who will let us
hear from thftn sometimes in Milledgeville,
and then we will know that all hands are not
asleep,—Six years have they slumbered upQm
our dearest /lights. Our institutions have been
broken up. The energies of merchants, par
alized —the peace and harmony of the commu
nity interrupted. Respectable citizens libeled
and handbilled from one extremity of the coun
ty, to the other ■ eat public meetings culled,
to trample them m the dust.— And still this
blind infatuation to rnan, seems to exist. My
friend this stateof thingsought not to be sanc
tioned —we have the power to correct the evil;
and aught to apply it. Then at once have a
respectable ticket announced, and I feel con
fidant it will be generally supported.
INQUIRER.
We take the following from the Charleston
i Courier;
Accusta, Aug.3o—
Tlwrc appears to be no abatement of tlie disease,
when taken into consideration that thousands have
j left the City; und to show the extent of the panic,
i the Eagle and Pliumix Square, (the most populous
i one in the City.) is completely deserted. I w s re
| speciality informed to-duy, tnitl not mie. white male
person slept on the square; and the Stores on it,
| without an exemption, are closed. As respects the na
ture or name of the disease the doctors differ ; but
J some among the most eminent pronounce it thereat
! i/el hie fever. It is rio respecter of persons; itatlacks
old and young—black and white-male and female—
native and stranger: and what Is more strange, so
j far it has been confined to say, two or three squares
in the city, but is gradually progressing in different
directions. The deaths are fewer to-day, and I at
tribute it to the fact that our medical men begin to
know better how to treat the disease. Most, howev

and, I am happy to add, are likely to recover. We
base had several very respectable young practition
ers from the country, who have kindly come to our
aid. The weather has changed, and to-day it is
cold enough for afire, to be comfortable. What ef
fect this will have on the disease remains lube seen.
The surrounding country continues perfectly heal

New Route rnoM Nxw— York to New*
Ohleanh via Bhiinswick. —'Flic rapidity with
which communication and travel is now ac
complished between differnnt points of oyr
country,compared with w hat it was n fawyean
since, is astonishing. The time occupied in
transporting the great Southern mail between
New-York and New Orleans lias been recently
reduced to nine days, whereas but a f :tv years
since it occupied fourteen or fifteen days.
With this increase of speed, tho comforts of
the travelling public have not been overlooked,
hut on tlie other hand, have likewise increased
in a corresponding degree.
Another improvement whereby the time now
occupied in travelling from New-York to New
Orleans will be considerably lessoned, has been
we are lmppy to announce, decided on. A
: stage line is shortly to be established from thin
: city to Tulahoaace, distance 207 miles—thonce
to loin, fit) more, over a road now being con
structed by Government—thence by tho new
Rail Rond just completed from “lola,” (former
ly called “Tennessee Bluff”) on the Appalln
ehicoja River, to Nt. Josephs—thence l.y “'cam
bout to New Orleans.
In commotion “ ith this, a lino of steamboats
will commence running from this city to Wg.
mingtott via Charleston —thence a communi
cation to the Northern cities is had by the
rail-roads passing through North Carolina,
Virginia, &c. via Petersburg, Richmond, Fred
ericksburg, etc.
This line, which will go into operation early
next month is expected to outtravel the U. B.
mail from Washington to New Orleans, by
thirty-six to forty-right hours. Passenger?
from the North to New Orleans will also be
transported about three days quicker than by
any other route now in operation,.
When the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road
is completed, tlie time occupied in travelling
from this point to New Orleans willhegreatly
lessened. In the mean time the stagihg will
be gradually reduced, as the rail-road progres
