The following article on the subject of “Lim ited Copartnerships,” we copy from the Charleston Courier—which will be fonnd to apply as well to Georgia as Carolina, to which we would invite the attention of our Legisla ture now in session. We deem it unnecessary to add very little to the very concise and forcible views taken of the subject in this article. We have long lek the necessity of such a law in Georgia, and we think it very questionable whether the Le gislature of Georgia could pass any law so well calculated to develops the resources ot her Citizens as one authorizing such partnerships. There are many young men in Georgia whose business habits fit them for the most important Commercial operations, who would he sustain ed by Capitalists had we such a law; who are necessarily compelled in the absence of such a law either to prosecute a small, unprofitable and hazardous business, or seek a business in those States where Capitalists are protected in their investments. Capitalists too in win se hands thousands of Dollars are now lying idle, would take great pleasure in throwing their funds into the com mercial operations of the Jountry,which would give to commerce in Georgia an impetus never before felt. WHTF.D We know of hardly any Law, that could be passed by the Legislature, which could be more beneficial to the commercial community, than one authorizing limited Co-partnerships. As the Law now stands, no man can invest any portion of his capital in mercantile pursuits, without putting his whole fortune at hazard. Now it often happens that Planters and uth rs are in the possession ot a surplus capital, with out any ready means of investment, which they would willingly throw into commerce, but tor the ruinous liabilities they might thereby incur. Many a monied man would readily adventur. ten, fifteen or twenty thousand dollars with a young friend intrude, who could n the induc ed to risk their whole fortune. The present law, which makes every partner liable to the whole extent of his private fortune, for the debts of the firm, however small may be his share ofthe profits, necessarily prevents any mai from lending his name or money to his friends, i unless he is prepared to embark yvifh them “for better or worse” to the whole extent of his ••state. In several of the States, and especial ly in New York, we understand that a ditf rem system prevails, and it is said to work well. There, any man who chooses to do so. may de vote uimong prectstdy on th same footing as Joi >t Stock Companies, with out the necessity ot an act ot Incorporate) . A capital is first made up, the amount of which must be known and declared to the world; rind this and this alone is pledged for the debts , ofthe concern. The public thus know before hand, the fund to which they are to look, and regulate their dealings accordingly. Under such an arrangement, it is obvious that the j potnmt rcial capital of a country, must be g-eat jy enlarged. The surpluses constantly acctu ing in every department ot industry, are seek ing profitable investment, are thus at once drawn into commerce, instead of lying idle and useless to the community. You Jg men are helped forward by their friends—who are >n duced to embark with them to limited amounts. We do not propose at this time, to enlarge o . this topic. We would merely call public at tcntioii to it, in the hope tint it may command the serious consideration which it it.nju -siion- r ebly merits. Our legislature will assemble in a few weeks. Let our members elect thi .k ofthe vast importance of opening a door to a jicw and profitable investmei t of capital, bx inducing all classes of our citizens to Income more or less interested in trade. Capital is now alone wanting to gi 'e an impulse to Char leston, the effect of which would be felt by all. We have seen hundreds of thousands of dollars always lying idle, which under a system’ ol (‘limited partnership,” would be constantly employed,in pushing forward our young men-- and extending our commercial connexions with all the world. The recent formation of p Joint Stock Company in this city, under « Charter by the Legislature to establish a line of packets between Charleston and Liverpool, affords at once conclusive evidence ofthe ne cessity of such arrangements, and the incon venience ofthe present system. Why com pel gentlemen who are desirous of embarking a portion of their fortune in any such uuderta king, to go to the expense and troub e ofgetting an act of incorporation ? Why subject them to the inconveniences attendant on the rmn berous operations of a corporation bound by a 1 charter to move in a particular truck, withoutl the liberty of varying their proceed! :gs -accor- ; ding to circumstances? Limited co-partner ships authorized by a law, so arranged as to i secure the public against, frauds, and at the > game time holding out such advantages as I Would tempt men to meet from time to timed .such failures of their capital as could be come- j piently spared, in comiperciaI pursuits-,—tvould j |qn(i(e p Spirit of enterorizc, which would con-1 Jribute largely to our prosperity.

FOR THE SOUTHERN WHIG. ‘As for man,his days are as grass—as the flow er of the field, so he flonrishetb, for the wind pasfseth over it, and it is gone: and the place thereof, shall know it no more.’ David. Man’s life is like the summer grass. That seems a moment to surpass In verdant brightness—all below— The next cut down, by one fell blow Os death’s keen scythe, ’tis lightly cast Withered, and dead, before the blast! Man’s life is like the opening rose That seeks amoment to disclose, Its blushing beauties to the sun, Exhales its perfume—and is gone! Unnoticed sleeps upon the spot, Where late it bloomed; unknown, forgot! Man’s lore is like this grass-—this flower— ” ’ I T’will bloom and wither, in an hour, A moment last within the rays, Os beauty’s smile, and fashion’s blaze, But fortune’s frown—or sorrow’s blast Leaves not a vestage of the past! I KATE. I Internal Improvement; Increased Facilities ‘ ni Intercourse and Travelling; ia tS»e Unit- | cd Mates. The following highly interesting article : is taken from the American Almanac for | 1837, than which we know of no work j more admirable in its way. Had any of us been told forty years since, that the re sults here given could have come within the compass of possibility, in so short a space of time, we should have regarded j the statement as an attempt to play upon our credulity: The great and rapid improvement which has taken place in the condition and cir cumstances of the people of the United States, since the American revolution, is strikingly illustrated by the increased fa cilities of travelling and intercourse be tween the different parts of the country, 1 by means of turnpike roads, canals, rail road cars, all of which were, at that time, wholly unknown here, with the exception of stage coaches, which had been establish ed on two or three short routes. But it I is since the close of the last war with Great I Britain, that the spirit of enterprise, with • respect to internal improvement, has been ; chiefly manifested; it is at the present time.; especially active, and promises, should no- I thing happen to check its progress, to ac complish much more in the ton succeed- ; ing years, than has been effected in twice '■ the number of any years that are past. The present facilities of intercourse are . altogether beyond what not only the first; settlers ofthe country, but also the inhabi- tants no more than fifty years ago, could have conceived to be possible. The fol lowing statement of Gov. Everett, at the late centennial celebration of the Settle ment of Springfield. Massachusetts, is scarcely an exaggeration. “ Such was the difficulty of crossing the palidess wilder ness which lay between them [the first i 4-1 L z-v 4 T -- - z~, 4 <♦♦ r« l-xv • *r * - settlers of Q>y way °f rittsburg, a uis fcSfek man miles, in about .A th'* first sdiii-rs i. "jiV* S: ' " .1 C'UlV.'lllio.'l .if delegates trom American co lonies, met at Albany for the purpose of forming a plan of union; and it was pro- I posed, that, if the plan were carried into effect, Philadelphia should be the place of , meeting. The reasons in favor of the city were stated by Dr. Franklin, a member of the convention, who was evidently dispos ed to give the most favorable representa i tion of the facilities of intercourse which the case admitted, as follows: “ Philadelphia was named as being near-1 er the centre of the colonies, where the ■ commissioners would be well and cheaply I accommodated. The high roads through j the whole extent, are, for the most part, , very good, in which forty or fifty miles a I day may very well be, and frequently are.! travelled. Great part of the way may iikew> S e be gone by water. In summer i time, the passages are frequently perform-. cd in a week from Charleston to Phil'a- ' delphia and New York; and from Rhode Island for New York through the Sound, in two or three days, and from New York to Philadelphia, by water and land, in two days, by stage, boats and wheel carriages that set out every other day. The jour ney from Charleston to Philadelphia may likewise be facilitated by boats running up Ctiesapcake Bay, three hundred miles. But if the whole journey be performed on horseback, the most distant members, viz: the two from New Hampshire and from South Carolina may probably render them selves at Philadelphi, in 15 <>r 20 ..ays: the majority may be there in much less time. ’ But such a change has now taken place, that one may travel with ease frem con cord, the capital of New Hampshire to Phi'adclphia, or trom Boston to the City of Washington, all the way in Rail Road Cars and Steam Boats, a distance of about 450 miles, in less than 48 hours, and the pas sage between New York and Philadel ' pliia, is performed in from seven to eight I hours. Stage coaches were very little known ! in this country till a period subsequent to i the close ofthe Revolutionary war; and ' for some time alter they were introduced, j they did not often go more than about 40 ' miles in a day. In England, in 1706. the j • stage coach was lour days in going from | ! London to York, a distance of about 200 j miles, which lias, for some years past,been travelled in about 20 hours.

The oldest I canal which has been much used for convey • i g passengers, is Erie Canal, which was I completed in 1825. The oldest Rai! Road i i I die United States, the Quincy Rttrl Rond io i Massachusetts, only three miles in length, was I finished in 1827. The Rail Road, which was first used in the United States fol conveying passengers in the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, (not yet finished.) which was opened for passengers from Baltimore to Ellicott’s Mills, 13 miles, in 1830. The first Steamboat that was used in any part of the world for convey ing passengers, vv.is one which commence:! sailing <>:i the Hudson, between New York and Albany, in 1807. 1 h first Post Office in America was es tablished at New York in 1730, the numb r of Post. Offices in the United States, was only 75, and the extent of Post Roads, 1,875 miles.— I In 1835, the number of Post Offices was 10.- 1770; the post routes covered about 112,774 i miles. In daily, or less frequent trips, rhe ■ in.ids were curried on these routes about 25 | 869,486 miles, viz : —16,874,050 nnies in four [ horse post coaches and twoJio-rsi! stages; 7,- 817,973 miles on horseback, and in sulkies; | 906,959 miles in Steamboats; and 280,504 i miles in Rai! Road Cars. j The rivers and w aters of the United States ; present a vast field for steamboat navigation, j which is more in use here than in any other | parts of the world. This mode of navigation I i has produced surprising changes with respect to facilities of intercourse, especially in the ex tensive region which is watered by the Missis sippi and its tributaries. In the western com. fryihe present century has witnessed ex:r«mr- J diuary changes and wonderful improv .'meat in the arts of civilized life; and a svstem of infernal improvement is now in progress there, which, consider! g the recent, seitleme t of the country, may be justly regarded as magnificent. The following account of “things seen bv a. I young son of the West,” originally published in the “ Cincinnati Register,” is extract 'd from the “ People’s Magazine,” for July 13th, 1833 : “ I have seen the time when the only b >at | that floated on the surface of tile Ohio, was a canoe, propelled by poles used by two persons, one in the bow a id the other m tfie stern. “ I have seen the day, when the introduction of the keel boat, with a shingle roof, was hail ed a mighty improvement in the business of the ' West. 1 remember tha day whon-the arrival of a Canadian barge (as the St. Louis boats were called at the head of the Ohio,) was a i im portant event in the transactions of<he year. “I remember the day when a passage of four months from Natchez to Pittsburg was called a speedy trip for the b st craft on lh<- nver, and when the boatmen, a race now ex tinct, leaped o i shore after the voyage, and ex hibited an air of as much triumph us did the sailors of Columbus ois their return from th New World. “I remember the time when the canoe of a white man dared not be launched on the, bo som of the Alleghany. ! “I remember the time when a trader to New Orleans was viewed as the most enter:- prising amongst even the most hardy sous on I the West, on his return from his six I t-cw |,\ «r. < ,^| la ii et iaa.a traveller who had se lair , til'.- .. w. re a wild t;.?'-',- . w;>s«to/oorZ>e divisa,’ literally cut off from ;; | I new world. j “I have lived to see the day when the de ; serf is flourishing as the rose; —u lien tli - n£ce n ; of boatmen has become extinct, and their m.--l moriesouly preserved in the traditional tales >f ! our borderers, “ I have lived to see two splendid cities, one devoted to manufuctures, the other to com j mere.-, spring up, where, in rny boyhood, no •i thing appeared like civilization but the hut of j the soldier or the.settler. I “I ha e lived to see a revolution produced | by a m -chauicul philcsophy, equal to that ef j fected by the art of printing.
