DARIEN 1 HERALD. TurMlny Horning, S*|H*ntlM*r 10. 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.

Tilt* ltfluil law ■■-Tin* Temp fruiter Parly. “ 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. prive us of the least priviledgts, Which has been guaranteed to usby the Constitution, and han ded down to us as a precious boon, by those who fought tho battles of ihe revolution. Ex amine Ahc world. Where arc lift? and property ‘ secure? Where do the arts and sciences flour- 1 islr? Where dwells the happiness of society ? i VV here docs commerce prosper? Where is j I woman not a prisoner tn.r a slave ? Where : does Liberty dwell? No where, r*oo ( it j n ( ,ur own beloved country. Beyond the light or Republicanism, commences the gloomy re sriQtis of .umoranccL fanaclicism. MuaAcotitinn, and barbarism. Let us then be careful, lest 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, | tower of Liberty are recreant to their trust, 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 strife of the political world. FI DEB. White-Oak Plantation. . j. - 1 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 Will . .. . , , -u some of the mildest laws that we have at present, ti*,^. ... , , , , . -‘weted, and they will effect more good to this corrifnu,.. _ () could with the sanguinary code oft/ie'o. ciun sage or the highest penal law that can be enacted. LEX NATURES. Mclntosh Cos. Sept. 6, 1830. * For the Herald. 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 er, of the profession have themselves been subjects, 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 thy, and those who leave feel in perfect security- as soon us they touch the Piney Woods. At this time, we have some of our most valuable citizens down, and many ofthceases very bad ones,and it, -s considered veiy doubtful- 1 hove seen pan; - A excitements—(have read of und heard of tilt, -at the present, now prevailing here, exceeds any thing lam capable of describing with my pen.” Remedy for hard times—more plough ing on land banks and less discounting in paper banks . 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 ses. —Brunswick Advocate. PEOPLE’S TICKET. FOR THE SENATE, Fob fltarles 11.
