Athens, Ga. Saturday, December 3, 1536.
In our anxiety to lay before our readers all
the legislative proceedings of interest, together
with the current news of the day, we have de
prived ourselvas of the usual space for editorial.
We are not aware, however, that our readers
have sustained any material loss, for in the pre
sent barrenness ot the times for news, we feel
assured we shall impart more interest to our
columns by judicious selections in miscellany,
and the varied and important subject of internal
improvement, (to which the people aie becom
ing sensibly alive,) than any thing we could
concoct.
To Correspondents.
A friend to Internal improvement, has been
received but we regret to say too late for to
day’s publication. It shall appear in our next.
We would respectfully inform A f riend to
the Poor, that the arti< le received through the
Post Office can not obtain a place in the Whig
without the name of the author.
Tire Election.
Since our last, few additional official returns
have been received, enough however has been
ascertained to satisfy us, that Van Buren and
Johnson, will be elected by considerable ma
jorities. Alabama has probably gone for Van
Buren—Tennessee certain for White, by a
large majority—in Mississippi and Louisiana
the contest is yet doubtful, the former has prob
ably given her vote to White, while the latter
is claimed by both parties—Our latest infor
mation from Louisiana, is the official return i
of all but one county and a reported return of i
that; which gives White the vote of the State
by 32 votes
Kentucky the residence of the amalgama
tor has disregarded hissable claims and given i
her vote to Harrison and Granger—so also I
has Indiana— <
The following is the result ascer'ained: ;

The Lesislatuu e. j
This body we fear are, as usual, doing little (
on those subjects, which imperiously demand i (
their special investigation. If we were tojudge j (
from the number of applications which have I (
been made for Bank charters, and the corres- I
ponding spirit with which they have thus far
been met, we should set them down as a set of 1
stock jobbers, »ach of whom were studiously 1
engaged in devising means by which, in the 1
present excited mania for speculation he might i
increase bis fortune. I
1 Lotus not, however, be understood by these |
as being opposed to Banks—on the
r and have always been a warm

cial operations.
and that an increase of that capital must ter- ‘
initiate in disastrous results sooner or later; but I
we suppose we were mistaken, as we would I
not attempt to set up our opinions in opposition c
to those of a Georgia Legislature. In the Se- ]
nate, the committee to whom was referred the t
subject of accepting the eu-plus revenue, re
ported through their chairman, Mr. Hudson, fa
vorably, but took occasion to condemn the prin
ple of collecting money by the Government for
the purpose of distribution among the States.—
Mr. Liddel from the majority of the committee
to whom was referred the subject of its dispo
sition,made a report recommending its being ex
pended in internal improvements, the revenue of
which shook’ be applied to a liberal system of j
Education; and Mr. Dm agan from the minority
made a report, recommending its “being placed !
in the Central Bank”—where it would wield t
its corrupting influence over the people of ,
Georgia—all of which were ordered to be
printed.

FOR THE SOUTHERN WHIG.
Mr. Jones, —The residue of my remarks, i
on the subject of Rail Roads, will ba very
much in the character of truisms; but even
these may be so presented, as to awaken a
spirit of investigation, which sometimes leads
to profi able results. For instance, when I as.
firm that a rail road car will carry a traveller
twenty miles at one dollar, while a stage will
take himbuttenat the same price, when I state
that it will transport him 120 miles in one day at
6 dollars, while his own horse is overcoming
the same distance in four days, at an expense
of eight, besides the risk ol his horse, and the
' great fatigue of both—but, further, when I as
-1 sert that in the transportation of produce and
( merchandize, a load of either can be convey
ed a distance in one day. on the rail toad,
t which a common road waggon can not per-1
• form in eight, find at a cost 150 per
higher than by the otlmr convevyjc<.'ft;
lv, these obvious
reflection, and ,
if rad roadsawp ' <
in no wax .SmH
it that a
commeti'T ’ * y ■
AgattiK three

Savanna!*-ft < ft<. '-ft old part of
Georgia, a>>. houses fall-
ing in
briers, the tiWK&k* dreary WaSte
sedge grass, arnlthoW® of their former in
habitat ts have gone to some distant country.
So, but not quite to such an extent, with th.it
once fine flourishing country between theOco
uee and Oakmulgee rivers. Why is tins?
With such a soil and climate, with such vulua.
ble productions, with such facilities for inter.
nal improvement, with such rcsoti’ r cs m be
long to Georgia, why has s'ich a blight been
permitted to come over the land? How dif
ferent at the North! A cold, bleak, barren re
gion, and yet, every thing teams with life and
plenty. They' supply the Fjfouth, the finest
country the sun shines upon, with every thing,
even down to their brooms. Would von know
the reason of this? Hear it in the beautiful
language of one of the South’s most brilliant
orators,* “All this is done (says he) in a region
with a bleak climate and steril soil, bv the en
ergy and intelligence of the people. Each
man knows that the public good is his indi
vidual advantage. The number of rail roads,
and other modes of expeditions intercommuni
cation, knits the whole country into a closely
compacted mass, through which the produc
tions of commerce and of the press, the corn
forts of life, and the means of knowledge, are
universally diffused, while the close intercourse
of travel and business makes *.ll men neigh
bors, and promotes a common i..forest and
common sympathy. In a community thus
connected, a single flash of thought pr-rvad s
the whole land, almost as rapidly as thought
itself can fly. The population becomes, as it
were, a single set of muscles, animated bv on<>
heart, and directed bv a common sensoriurn.”
Independent of all th- cot-sid.-rations alrea
dy presented, and which no government can
in conscience overlook, without great, violence
to the just rights of the people and the higher
claims of posterity, we are thrown upon a pe
culiarstate of things that loudly calls its to ac
tion with no common urgency. Fifty millions
of dollarsart about to be distributed am. eg all
the States for the express purpose o'’ inter :a !
improvement. This mass of wealth is to give
vigour to the arm of industry in a thousand
wavs. It wifi call forth and give employment
to millions of labourers in every conceivable
form. To such as can work upon roads, riv
ers and canals—these must h ive provisions,
and consequently agriculture is stimulated and
largely promoted. This, again, gives life and
animation to trade, and trade seeks new con
nections and channels for its all pervading ope
rations. Those States whose natural advan
tages are inferior to others, will of course,
strive to draw’o themselves,by artificial means,
the benefits of which they have been deprived,
and to wrest from the more highly favored a
portion of that bounty conferred by a kind Pro
vidence. Georgia is confessedly a beneficia
ry of its choicest blessings, mid on her right
and left is looked upon with no common rival
ry. Her advantages, if not envied, are truly
enviable, and none can condemn the effbit to
share them with her. if she neglects to impn-vi
them. O i her northern boundary is a pas
through the Blue Ridge, which South C tro'i
na would gladly avail h ‘tsalfof, to co duct th<
trade of the West to h -r Atla tic borders, and
if permitted her to enjoy, would not r< main i:
its present useless condition a si gle year—m.
her western borders, leading from the Chero
kee country are those fine rivers, the Chatta
hoochee and Coosa, to each of which the Stat
of Alabama is now project i. g rail roads, which
when flashed, will drain the valuable produc
tions of that fine country, and carry them ■>.'?
to markets to which they do not I'giti m.iteiy
belong. Georgia will, by'he publicspirit am:
liberal enterprise of her adjoi flag sister States,
be ultimately driven, in self defence, to works
ofmternaj improvement. Why cot then, bold
ly and generously commence the work, rath r
than be compelled to make a merit of necessi
ty? Now is the time to act?

Concept rated Sarsaparilla,
For the cure, of Scrofuivu's, Mercurial, Syphi
litic, and other disease's, which depend
upon, a Scrofulous hai. it of body,
IS prepared by a new process', without boiling,
and is warrented to contain, in a concentra
ted form, the active principles of the root, ob
tained from the most approved of smi
lax.
Its efficacy has been repeatedly tested in nri
vate practice in the successful treatment of the
worst lorms ofthe diseases, for the cure ol which
Sarsaparilla is recom mended, alter other pre
parations of that medicine, the Panacea, tee.
had been used wuhout effect. A number of ca
ses of extensive ulcerations, mid affections of
th j e ne , S ’. 1 1 ?. ii ‘ ln ! ,le scrofula, and in Mercurial
a,l d jyph l J ltlC diseases, have been permanently
cured by its use m three months, without anv
other treatment, except the most simple appli- ‘
canons to the parts diseased. A trial of two or j
three bottles, in similar cases, will prove the el- :
heacy and importance of the preparation.
It has been found particularly useful after cal- ;
otnel, where tint tiiedieme has been given too i
freely in scrofulous habits, or in cure of acer- 1
tain disease. It is admirably calculated, in such
eases, to remove ail disease from the bodv, and
restore tiie usual vigor of the constitution; and
may betaken with safety and advantage when
the system is mereuriali'zed. The use of one
m two bottles, op ordinary oe -nsiims ofthe kind,
will prove an effectual security agamst secon
daiy diseases; and in recent eases, wiileff ct a
perfect cure, after three or four doses ofcalomel,
of live or eight grains each, niaht and mornitir.
have been taken, fallowed by salts, md the usu
