nunciationsofthe anti-slavery of the North, ■
are exerting themselves to the utmost to pre- ,
vent the election of a northern man to the 1 res-
That you may have some idea of the grounds
noon which Harrison is urged in the South,
and appreciate whatever warmth I may have
manifested, I quote the following extracts Irom
Harrison iZaaery newspapers which have lately >
come under my notice. I
•‘General Harrison sacrificed himself for
tha South, in opposing the Missouri restrictions,
and in the midst of a non sluveholding popula
tian, denounces the abolitionists, and de
kies the power of Congress of meddling
SLAVERY.
So then, it appears the General at one time
sacrificed himself for the South, and now it
would seem that the South is to make a sacri
fice for the General —even the sacrifice of
Judge White.
Again, another extract;
“Is it not a strange notion that Virginia, who
HAS NEVER VOTED FOR A NORTHERN MAN, will
vote for Van Buren, who differs with heron
the tariff, on Missouri restrictions, and on the
right of Congress to prohibit slavery in the
District of Columbia?”
What stronger argument the anti slavery
menofthe North can require, to induce them
to prefer Van Buren to Harrison, than is afford
ed by these extracts, I am at a loss to conceive.”
Wo invite the attention of our readers to the
following Rail Road intelligence. It is an ar
ray of facts in relation to Rail Roads, calculated
to interest every man in the community.
♦‘Facts to make men think if they are capa
ble of thinking'.
Cincinnati, July 23, 1536.
Before the Charleston and Hamburg Rail
Road was made, the travel between those pla
ces was by stages, three times a week and
averaging about four passengers each trip.
Now by Rail Road an average of fifty per day,
making a difference of twenty-three hundred
per cent!
“The travel between Baltimore and Wash
ington lias increased since the Rail Road from
less than fifty to two hundred and fifty per day,
or upwards of four hundred pei cent. The
estimate is when this Road is completed to the
Ohio, it will average at least one hundred and
fifty passengers per day each way: this will
be found to be a very low estimate. On the
-main stem of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road, so far as made, the travel this year is
double what it was the last, and the freight
has increased fifty percent in the same period.
“On the Pennsylvania Rail Road and Canal
the amount of tonnage that passed over the
mountains Westward, between April 23, 1835,
and May 11, 1836. a period of twelve months
and nineteen days, was over twenty-four mil
lions of pounds; during the same period the
transportation East was ten millions of pounds,
making an aggregate of 17,000 tons. In ad
dition to this more than 150,000 passengers
crossed the mountains, exceeding 300 per day,
and three times the number that passed the pre
ceding year.
G(.)n the Liverpool and Manchester Rail
Road the travel has increased from what it was
before the Road was made, fotn an average
of less than 100 per day, to the astonishing
number 0f500,000 in the last year, making an
average of near 1.400 per day.
“It is from facts like these that we must es
timate the enterprise.

vested which may betaken tor clear profit.as
the freights will far more than pay every ex
pense.”
Interna.! Improvements,
Although the subject of the contemplated
Rail Road to connect Huntsville with Decatur
and Tuscumbia, does not at this time so closely
engross the attention of our citizens, as when
it was agitated a short time back; still, when
ever it is mentioned, we observe that the pub
lic feeling is not the less alive to the project,
and in favor of its early construction. Every
one seems anxious for it; and we hear of many
who are willing to take liberally of the stock;
but as yet but few have come forward and
placed their names on the subscription book.
We know of no better reason to account for
this seeming b tckwardtiess, than the fact, that
men are slow to bind themselves (even condi
tionally) until the object sought to be accom
{fished, is clearly laid open to their view.
'Kiev know before the work can be commer
ce, a charter must be obtained from the Leg
islature; and hence, but an inconsiderable num
ber will be found active until that object is ac
complished. and they can see how and for what
ftlteir money is to be expended. Grant a char
iter that may be deemed liberal and just, and
•wo feel assured that the stock will be speedily
subscribed. We have heard of some few who
nuke objectton to the rail road on the ground
tint it would interfere with the canal from
Huntsville to the Tennessee river; and others
iuturti object to the canal because they say it '
his been the cause of retarding other improve- ■
Wits, which won'd have placed the commerce •
ofour town in a far more active and prosper- ■
pus condition than it at this time exhibits. )
V’e deem it unnecessary to take a retrospect '
pi’the past; it is sufficient for us to say that we ;
art ia favor ofboth th ■ improvements mention- !
ci,and in addition, turnpikes to run in every I
direction from Huntsville to the interior of Ten-'
nessee. Rail Roads are peculiarly adapted
*3fpeedy transportion, over which passengers
lUt/light goods can be conveyed at all times
and seasons; and when steam-boat navigation
/jsiiut in immediate competition, the heavy sta
phs of the country find a ready conveyance
•over them. The local position of Huntsville
d'avorsin our estimation, all of the improvements
’.mentioned; and it will be the fault of her citi
zens if they do pot avail themselves of the ad
vantages which nature has so lavishly placed
rbefttfc them.
' It has been intiipated by some tipt in as
.much as the rail road company on the South
side of the river already have the right to ex
tend their road into M ulison, that should the
citizens of Huntsville decline (he construction
■of the road, it possibly would take some other
.direction, and perhaps terminate at Me/'dian
yille, or some point where froiujMMMKAV
good portion of the sum
pb'tion would l;e iii Fed. AH '■’j?'*
enquire what influence
likely have upon the business oteur town; j
pyery qne mUst be convinced that the road '
should terminate iu Huntsville; and if her citi- j
zens even took no pride in the undertaking, the I
prospect of its greatly adding to the value of
their real estate should stimulate them to its
.accomplishment. And if so much would he
gained by a rail road, which could be made in
twelve months, what may we not expect from
(the completion ot the other great improve
ments now in progress, and of which we shall
now speak.
GEOBGIA R4IL ROAD
We lay before our readers (o day the Report
of J. Edgar Thompsi 11, the Engineer of the
Georgia Rail Road Company, qn the subject of
an extension oftheir road from Athens, to which
point it is now being made, to Knoxville; and
also of a branch directly to the Tennessee
River, near Rosses. We ask the particular
attention of our readers to this highly interesting
document; more particularly that part, which
relates to the route immediately to the Ten
nessee river. We conceive that no portion of
the country is more deeply interested in this
j improvement than North Alabama—no, not
even Georgia herself—and that no point in
N. Alabama is nearly so much interested in
its accomplishment as the Town of Huntsville.
Our readers are no doubt apprized, that at
the last session of the Legislature of Tennessee
a charter was granted for a Rail Road from
Knoxville in the direction towards Athens, in
Georgia —called the Hiwassee Rail-Road in
tended as a branch of the great Charleston and
Cincinnati R. R. Books of subscription were
opened on the 4th of July, and we learn from
a very interesting letter published in the same
paper which contains the Engineers report,
that the whole ofthe stock in this company has
subscribed—the state taking one third.
From the Georgia line, the Road will be con
tinued by the Georgia Rail-road and Banking
company already formed, and of which that
enterprising gentleman, Wm. Dearing, Esq.
is President.
This road—the whole of which, as we have
seen, is in the hands of Companies now organ
ized, will approach within 30 miles of the
Tennessee river, near Rosses; and by an exten
sion, say 20 miles lower down, will connect
with the river below all the obstructions above
this place, and give us an uninterrupted inter
course with Charleston and Savannah, and
through those cities with N. York and the
Eastern sea ports, at all seasons of the year.
We cannot present this matter in a stronger
point of view than by copying a paragraph
from the able report to which we are endeavor
ing to direct the attention of our readers:—
“We view this link as the most important
feature of our whole enterprize; by its comple
tion, we will have effected a connexion between
the navigable waters of the West and those
of the Atlantic, leading to our own seaport,
in the shortest possible distance. Upon this
route merchandize may be readny carried from
Savannah to the Tennessee River for 85 cents
per hundred weight, and thence delivered at
Knoxville by steamboat for 25 per hundred,
or at the Ohio river for 75 cents.”
The correctness of this view being admit
ted, and we believe it cannot be controverted,
how important must this improvement be to
the Town of Huntsville if a wise policy be adop
ted to turn the advantages of her position to
proper account? From the point of termination
of this Rail Road übo e on the Tennessee, the
river is closely embraced by the Cumberland
mountain and its various spurs, and does not
finally emerge, until it reaches Whitesburg or
Ditto’s Landing; and from this point and the
contemplated rail-road from Decatur to Hunts
ville must of necessity be forwarded all the
merchandize for the supply of middle Tennes
see, even as far as Nashville!
We have not time or space at present to de
vote to this subject, in all its extended ramifi
cations and bearings, but hope to recall it at
some future period. We cannot, however,
dismiss it now, without adverting to the state
of the improvements now making at the muscle
shoals. We have been favoured with an ex
amination of a report ofthe Engineer; in which
it is stated that less than ten thousand dollars
worth of work is now required to open the canal
arou -d the worst part of the obstructions; and
reasonably expect steam
winter. This is an im
i of connexion betwixt
• *he Atlantic; and,
by the
‘ we should
i : of t/ie
at all
seasons, betwixt the Ohio river and the point
of termination ofthe Georgia Rail Road.
The whole of these obstructions are situated
in the state of Alabama, and although other
States are no less interested in their removal,
yet we think it is the special duty of Alabama
to see that it is done, Let Tennessee improve
the river, above and below, and let Georgia
make her Rail Road; and let Alabama also do
her duty. To the next Legislature we look
for sonic efficient measures. We have been
praying to the General Government long
enough. It Hercules will not hear our prayers,
(hen it is time we should set pur own shoulders
to the wheels.

‘ for the southern whig.
It was a beautiful sentiment of one whom her
■ lord proposed to putaway —“Give me then back
that which I brought to you,” said she; and the
man answered in his vulgar coarseness of soul,
“your fortune shall return to you.” “I thought
not of fortune,” «aid the lady—“ Give me back
my real wealth—give me back my beauty and
i my youth—give me back the virginity of soul—
give me back the cheerful mind—and the heart
which had never been disappointed.”— Theam-
'■ bilious student, Bultcer
Oh! give me back my bridal dower,
The treasures that were mine—
, E’er yet my heart conferr’d love’s power
I E’er yet that heart was—thine.
And when each gift has been returned,
1 The wealth I brought to thee—
Then may the heart once thine be spurned,
The hand once mine—be free.
Then quickly answered with delight
Her worldly minded lord—
“ Each gem of price, each jewel bright
Os thine, shall be restored”—
“And many a glittering heap beside
Os metal that allures,
And many an acre fair and wide,
Os broad rich land be—yours.”
“I spake not of this world’s vain store,”
Proudly the lady said—
“ This heart of mine, asks something more
For love—for youth—betrayed.
Oh! give me back my real wealth,
The charms to thee resigned,
The freshness of my youth—my health,
My calm contented mind.”
“Where is the rose, that on my cheek
1 Its lovely hue once spread?
The eyes that love’s own thoughts could speak
1 Where has their brightness fled?
j Where is the heart that knew not guile,
I Nor disappointment’s sting—
That sunshine ofthe soul, whose smile
Its light on all could fling?”
1 And where the love, that long, long, years
Os scorn could ne’er estrange!
I The love that flourished but in tears,
„ Nor even time could change?
Can all thy heaps of gold restore,
i My spotless purity!
t The smile of innocence I wore,
. When first I met with thee?
I
And can thy jewels bring the light,
, The lustre to these eyes,
Now dimmed with grief—but once as bright
And ejear as Summer skies'
Qh! no thou cans’t not give again
The treasures that were mine,
But go—and on me rest the stain,
The light free heart—be thine!

vestigate matters and .-,
induced from this trait, to give the document
a cursory examination, to ascertain upon what
grounds the Farmers are particularly solicited
to vote for Van Buren—or in what way their
peculiar interest could be advanced by such a
step.
Most assuredly the leather-headed author of
this handbill, must have thought the farmers
were generally composed of very weak mate
rials, and possessed of no ordinary imbecility,
to iipagino that they could be induced to give
their support to an individual, who has proven
both from his conduct and principles, that he
is opposed to their interest, and the uncompro
mising enemy of the South.
I shall now proceed to examine the argu.
men!, (if it deserves the name) which this sa
pient writer urges, in support of the claims of
Martin Van Buren upon the Farmers, us well
as a disgraceful effort to enlist the feelings of
the mechanics against Judge White, in order
that all may see to what extent the friends of
Van Buren will go, to force him upon the peo
ple; and also, how frail and insignificant are
the inducements presented to the honest yeo
manry of the country, for the purpose of court,
ing their favor, and foicing them to perform
an act, which must and will terminate to their
injury. The writer says,
“But the lilo of this gentleman (Van Buren)
J particularly recommends itself to the notice ot
hv,'- who, like him, were born and raised
jh. e yeomanry of the land—a stranger
De was compelled
•. own hands to obtain a liveli-
'• ' Wtu H U nights ty study inorder
’cation. He is no sprig of
'ing "ith contempt upon the
Suer, or the “greasy mechanic,”
digs call the latter class) he is the
of a farmer, an humble but honest man,
who instilled into the mind of his son the prin
ciples ot probity and honur.bv observing which
he has attained the present elevated standing.
Will not the farmers ofour cotpitrv prefer one
of their own men—an individual tints reared
to feel their wants and know their wishes, to
one who has no claims upon their sympathies
or affections?.”
Now, Mr. Editor, you have in the above ex
tract, a lair specimen ot the int'igue and chi
canery to which this writer has resorted for
cflcet, \\ as there ever oil .'red. for the coll-
® tHer it Oast wi $ ♦
siderafion of any class of men a more piti
ful argument, or a grosser insult to th< ;
feelings <d a large a id respectable portion ol
our fellow.citizens, than that presented to the
attention of farmers? V\ hat must have been the
I idea which the writer entertained as to the
chaiacter and understanding ol farmers, when
he would attempt to allure them away from
correct principles by such weak declarations
as those contained in his address. He tells
them that Van Buren was a stranger to the
luxuries of wealth; and compelled to labor with
his own hands tor a livelihood, and study of
nights to obtain an education. Admit it. Does
this necessarily bring the farmer under obli
gation to support him for the Presidency? And
do the circumstances of his being horn poor.
(perhaps cradled in a gum) and obtaining his
education by a torch-light, any better qualify
him for so responsible a station? Or will his
elevation to the Chief Magistracy, alleviate
any of the sufferings and turmoils to which the
industrious farmer may be exposed, from the
descending, scorching rays of aver ical sua?
Assuredly not. Why then, are they called on
to support Van Buren, as “an individual rear
ed to feel their wants and know their wishes?”
But, you say again, he is no sprig of aristo
cracy, looking with contempt upon the indus
trious farmer, or the “greasy mechanic,” (as
the Whigs call the latter class.) 1 would en
quire of you, sir, where did you obtain your
information with regard to the mechanics? i
From whom did you learn that the Whigs call
us “grersy mechanics?” I imagine this, like
many other statements coming from the same
corrupted source, is but the offspring ofan evil
imagination, and the exhalmgs of a disordered
heart. Poor man, my heart move? with pity
for you; I would gladly alleviate your miseries,
a:id prepare your mind for the bitter disap
pointment that awaits you on the first Monday
in November. Your labors are vain—you toil
for nought. You can not arouse the prejudi- j
ces ofthe mechancis, by calling us “greasy," !
our principles are to > White to be soiled by the !
friends of free negroes, or to vote for u practi- i
cal Amalgamationist. And you could not, were I
you to write until doom’s dav, convince the •
Farmers of Georgia, that Van Buren is their j
friend, when he his declared that Congress
has the right to abolish slavery in the District
of Columbia, and will receive the support of
such a class of fanatics as the Abolitionists.—
The Farmers are wide awake on the subject
—they know whether he is “their man," or
not; and they will, to your utter sorrow, make ;
known this fact, by giving their support to '
Judge White. He is a slaveholder and a j
Southern man; and they are not so ignorant of!
their interest, as to be gulled by your old sto
ries about your plough-boy and torchhght-edu
cated candidate for the Presidency.
I would remark, in conclusion, that this do
cument proves to my mind, that the friends of
Van Buren are making their last dying strug- i
gle, and the times are growing portentous of a I
decided and mortifying defeat. When such
means and measures are adopted for the pur
pose of sustaining the cause of Van Buren in
the South, I am of the opinion, the people I
should arouse from their slumbers, and stand ,
as sentinels to guard the beautiful temple of!
liberty, based upon the firm pillars of State ;
Rights and State Sovereignty; then we shall
be enabled to combat successfully the efforts
of our opponents, and rise triumphantly above
a party, who are striving for power, and like
attending menials, ready to obey when Master
Jackson speaketh.

r|XHE Examination o>f the pupils of this In-
L stitution will take place on Friday and
Saturday 11th and 12th of November. Parents,
Guardians and the publick generally are invi
ted to attend. The first term fpr the next year
will commence on the socond monday in Jan
uary. Boarding may be had with the subscri
ber, or in other respectable families in the vil
lage on moderate terms.
The musical department is filled by P. G.
Guttenberger a gentleman of very superior
qualifications. He gives lessons on the
Piano, Guitar, Violin and German Flute.
From the experience I have had of Mr. G.’s
mode of teaching musick, I can recommend
him with the utmost confidence as a teacher,
superior to any I have ever seen. But I have
better testimony of his abilities. Judge Clay
ton in a letter to me, says of him: “It is true, he
has the misfortune to be blind, but I can assure
you from actual experience that his blindness,
so far from being a disadvantage is positively
of great service. Whatever the eye has to per
form is thrown upon the ear, and musick is al
together connected with that organ. The pu
pils have to point out all the parts ofthe musick;
the bars, the stops, notes, letters, &c., and of
course have to bestow more attention upon pie
ces performed; and all errors are immediately
detected and corrected by his ear. The conse
quence is, they become very perfect in the sci
ence ot musick; particularly in regard to time.
I have sent my daughters to several of the most
popular teachers, both in, and out of Athens,
and I have never had any of them to give more
satisfaction than Mr. Guttenberger. I ean also
speak of his attainments in the highest manner,
for he is, in every sense of the, word, master of
the art; to which he adds the most indefatigable
industry and faithfulness in teaching.” This
testimony of Judge Clayton is corroborated by
that of a number of other gentlemen of Athens
ot the first respectability.
Arrangement? have been made, by which
lessons in the
French £’ German Languages
will be given, by a teacher well skilled in the
pronunciation and different dialects of those
languages. Arrangements are also being made
i for a large addition to the apparatus ot the school,
, and other improvements to make it as worthy
as possible of publick patronage.
It is desirable that the gchool may become
entirely a female school, and for the purpose of
changing it gradually, and without sustaining
too great a diminution at once, it is expected
I that male pupils over sixteen years, will not be
received into the school

FKOSPECTI’S.
A T the late meeting of lhe Alumni of Frank
jA. lin College, it was unanimously resolved to
be expedient to make arrangements to issue a
Monthly Literary Magazine, to be called
THE ATHENIAN.
The undersigneo were appointed by the So
ciety a committee of publication and joint Edi
tors of the work, until the next of th*
Society We have no interest in the work,
ccpt that which we take in the welfare of the
country and honor-of the State. We, ofthe
South, have too long depended upon foreign. *
part? for our Literature, and neglebted our own
talents. We sha.l be weak so long as we think
j we are weak: and dependent until we make es-
I forts to be independent. We hope all the friends
of Literature in the State, and especially the
Alumni of Franklin College, will patronize the
enterprise both by word and deed. State pride,
the love of Literature, our interest in the cause
of general Education, all cal! upon us to sustain
an enterprise so necessary to our improvement,
and the honor of toe Stale.
