FOR THE SOUTHERN WHIG.
COMMUNICATION— No. 1.
Mr. Editor,—Although I know the sub.
ject of this communication worthy of an ablet
pen, yet, the obligations of patriotism, State
pride and philanthropy, constrain me to say a
word in behalf of a cause, the importance ol
Which, I think has never yet been fully appre
ciated.
I allude to the subject of Internal Improve
ment, by means of Rail Roads; a subject which
for years has in different parts of the world oc
cupied the attention of some of the greatest
benefactors of their race in modern times.
The excitability of this subject increases
with the hours; and Georgia, who for a long
time was content to hear the din of applause
which echoed from distant lands, has of late
been somewhat aroused to the importance of
the subject. Happy for her, that in her first
awakenings she finds herself placed in so fa
vourable circumstances: not as some orphans
who are opening their eyes upon the world,
find themselves pennyless, powerless, igno
rant, and of low degree, themselves in a sterile
soil, over which is swayed the iron rod of des
potism, and insurmountable difficulties in their
march to wealth and to happiness. Georgia
blesses a kind Providence for being placed in
circumstances just the reverse of these. From
her mountains she looks abroad over the wide
domain of the earth, and rejoices to find her
own soil and climate not to suffer by a com
parison with the most favored lands. Her
mountains abound in the richest minerals for
commerce and agriculture, and at the same
time afford the means of subsistance for nu
merous flocks and herds; her vallies and plains
blossom in Spring; and Summer with the gems
■of die most valuable products and finest staples
of all the world; and in Autumn the husband
man rejoices in beholding the rich harvest of
his fields. Georgia, from her maratime coast,
might be a speculator of that interchange of
products with foreign lands, which would
equalize her with the spicy Isles of the South,
and command the finest and richest fabricks
of European and Asiatic taste, ingenuity and
industry. Georgia is proud to remember the
names of her Heroes, Benelactors, Legisla
tors and Statesmen; who if not foremost in the
march of Internal Improvement, are not want
ing in courage to command an army, nor for
wisdom to rule a Senate; while she looks o’er
the records of her history and dwells with de
light upon her illustrious ancestry. She looks
to the North with astonishment, when she be
holds the magnitude and utility of the works of
art in that quarter of the Union, at the same
time pities their condition when she sees them
* I
for several monfly^nthe year obstructed in i
their
excessive
tween the mountains ot the North and the wa- I
ters of the South, shield her alike from the
opposite extremes of heat and cold.
Is it to this fortuitous location among her
sister States, that we are to look for the cause
of her inactivity and supincness? Is it because
Nature has done so much for her that she
feels herself at liberty to do nothing for her
self? Shall her mountains, full of the richest
ore, her vallies and plains of fine soil, her no
ble rivers, and fortuitous location remain com
paratively dormant and useless, for want of
enterprize in her sons? Shall Georgia with
‘ ten tallents” in her hands, suffer other States,
who have but “one,” to make greater Internal
Improvements than herself? Shall her moun
tains so beauteous and rich, court in vain the •
visitations of the paramour? Are their flow
ers destined to “blush 'unseen, and waste their
sweetness on the desert air,” when many a no
ble youth would walk proud in their sight and
pluck with tender hand and grateful heart the
flowers that deck brows, and cheer a dreary
life in the products of their fruitful globe?
Shall Georgia’s rich valleys and plains he
comparatively rough for want of individual
and State enterprise; and the sickly swamps of
Florida and Mississippi rob them of their na
tive sons? Shall our own sea ports exhibit
the sad wrecks of deserted villages, and the
gloom of once flourishing cities and thriving
commerce; and all this the effect of a fancied
.security and prosperity 7
Who in reviewing the history of the past,
will not arouse from his slumbers and shake
off the shackles of commercial bondage, assert
the claims of his own free State, and call her
dormant energies into action?
While then Georgia has so many natural
-advantages, in point of soil, climate, and loca
tion, let her citizens awake to their interest, '
and let their energies be directed to works of
internal improvement, instead of wasting time
and strength in party strifes and civil broils,
and soon we shall see Georgia compete in ag
ricultural products, and the most valuable sta
-pics,tn commercial importance and command,
ting akrtude with the most favored portion of
‘the earth.
The-first and grand consideration in efl’ect
ping the above desirable objects, all must, upon
a moment’s consideration agree, is the connec
tion of the Tennessee river with the navigable
■waters of the State, by means of rail roads.—
This once accomplished, and it would act as
the most powerful commercial and political le
ver in effecting the almost ten thousand objects
tjhat render life easy, happy and desirable.
The fortunate course of the Tennessee riv
er, is happily accommodated to such a magni- ,
ficent enterprise as this. The mighty waters |
into which it empties, the vast extent of rich <
and growing countries through which they t
range, from the Rocky mountains in the far ,
West, and the Lakes of the North, through the '
great States of Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Hi- t
nois, Mississippi, North Alabama, Tennessee £
and Kentucky, would all open their stores, and I
pour in one mighty current their incalculable ‘
amounts, and vast variety of products and man- J
ufacturcs into our very bosom, by means of- <
j. the Tennessee river and the Rail Road. This,
it together with a connection with the great
Cincinnatti and Charleston Rail Road, by
means of the Hywassee Rail Road, now about
being commenced, would form certainly one
of the grandest dissideratums in a commer
>- cial, social and political point, of view, of any
r country.
e Now then, while we have the means in our
a power, and our sister States of the West and
>f North west are urging us to the work, not
i- only by every consideration of interest and pa
triotism, but by their own examples; while
i. parties are amalgamating for purposes of gen
ii eral good, and when the minds of the people
are waking up and their feelings enlisted on
it this subject, now is the time to make a united
effort for the accomplishment of this great
s work. Now, in the language of a conspicuous
member of the Knoxville Convention, is the
’ time to make “a long pull, and a strong pul).
e and a pull altogether.”
p There is a certain tide in the prosecution of
t affairs, which if taken at the flood will carry
us in safety over the shoal; but if the opportu
g nity is suffered to pass by unimproved, another
favorable one many never occur. A concur
ence of circumstances is often more effectual
5 in the aggrandisement of a State, a corpora
tion, or an individual, than any intrinsic vir
r tue, or wisdom, or power. But where all these
t are combined in an individual, a corporation or
i State, and no effort made to render them avail
, able, there is justly incurred a censure not ea
. sily atoned for, and a criminal remisness. in
. justice to ourselves and posterity, with which
we shall not fail to be reproached.
We congratulate ourselves with the good
. fortune of living in an age of general improve
ment in the various departments of the social,
political and scientific world. To promote
the interests of the former, the two latter
should be held in constant subserviency, for in
proportion to the social state, is the amount of
happiness enjoyed by man. Laws may be en
acted and operate in the protection of person
and property; but unless they promote the so
cial happiness of man, the State in which they
operate, is a dreary waste of artificial drudgery
and affectation. Science may display her
charms and boast of her mighty deeds, but un
supported by free intercourse and lhe concom
itants of the social principle, law becomes
a tyrant, and science is disrobed of her charms,
deprived of her strength, and pines away in j
death.
Let the State then, adopt the means promo-1
ting social intercourse, and it will have effect
ed the good object of the laws of its organiza
tion, when this intercourse is regulated by
wise and wholesome laws, and adorned by the
beauties, and armed by' the sinews of science.
This remains to be perfected in our State by a
system of Rail Roads, holding together in a ■
i bond ot union the different sections or our
own State; and at the same time connecting it
ties of mutual interests with distant sec
common country.

In exposing these remarks to public criti

has been often and better told; but hope they
may catch the eye of some, who have per
haps thought but littlv on the subject. I would
ask all such, if they give any credit to the

with unering certainty. I f they have faith in

a similar nature in all places of their construc
tion, then they cannot doubt the expediency
and importance of the one under consideration

More Agitation.
The following article is from the New Eng
land Spectator, published in Boston:
Anti-Slavery Movements.— The plans and
r operations of the American Anti-Slavery So-
I ciety have never been more extensive than at
t the present moment.—Lewis Tappan and R.
G. Williams have met the friends of lhe cause
■ in the city, and made highly interesting and
: important statements.
1. They have now in the field or prepar
; ed to enter, fifty agents. Those are soon all
to meet in New York city, to receive sugges
-1 tions from Mr. Welde’ who has the general
I control ot the agencies, to devise plans for
! occupying the country, and to receive instruc
; tions as to their fields and plans of labor.
. 2. Two missionaries are to be sent out to
the West Indies, to ascertain facts respecting
the results of British emancipation. &c.
3. Rev. Dr. Beman is to go on a mission
f to Europe.
4. The publications of the Society shall
. besustained. Now about 12,000 of the month
lies are circulated.
Ihe annexed paragraph is from the New
York Journal ot Commerce, and deserves the |
I public attention.
“We are credibly informed that the Aboli- :
tionists are about to make another onset —
preparatory to which all their agents who
could be collected from the different parts of
the country, have been in secret conclave in
■ this city for nearly a fortnight. When they
get their plan of operations sufficiently cqnci c
ted, about fifty emissaries wi.l proseed to the
work of agitation, and if they do not shake our j
Union to pieces, it will be better than our tears, i
We are certain they will accomplish that, soon- 1
er than the immediate abolition of slavery.
On this paragraph the New York Commer- '
cial Advertiser remarns—
We received information of the meetingl
of this precious assemblage, on Friday evening',
but at the request of a friend forbore to men-I
tion the fact. The convention had then been ;
• in session about a week, and it was supposed I
would continue in session ten days longer. '
But the place of their meeting is a profound
secret. The reverend agitator from Oneida,
Beriah Green, is here; and it is supposed that
Birney is here from Ohio. Indeed all the
master-spirits of this scheme of anarchy are
skulking about the city. We understand that
Birney counsels a new and geneial crusade of
agitation, and assures the convention that he
has reason to believe that the moment the whole
north are united on this subject, the southern
people will emancipate their slaves. We
j must confess we look with deep regret upon
| this new movement of these incendiaries.
I From the recent stillness on the subject, and
j the comparatively moderate tone of their pub
lications, we were hoping that the storm was
past, and that, with the close of the Presiden
tial contest, the country would ba allowed a
season of repose. But we are mistaken.
The bitter fountains of strife are to be re-opened
And it the work of agitation is to be prosecuted
with the increased exertion of which we hear,
we must confess we tremble for the result.

METEORS—AGAIN.
We learn that the people in the neighbor,
hood of Maybinton, Newberry District, wit
nessed the fall of an immense number of Me
teors, which made their appearance at about
12 o’clock on Saturday night last, and contin
ued their descent until daylight the next mor
ning. It is said their number was not near so i
great, as at the “falling of the stars” (as it is ■
usually termed) three years since; but the spec
tacle is represented as having been very bril- j
hunt and unusual. It will be recollected that )
I last Sunday was the 13th; and that this last
j Meteoric display of nature’s fire-works took
i place o', the same day of the month, and at
about the same hour, as in 1833. We have

\ ing all the young ladies, at all times, under the
1 supervision of the teachers, as m;my of them
1 ar.: disposed to neglect their studies, and bo
