the coming season; and they receive it, more over, in a form that, froth its novelty, gives i additional value.” 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. of different States influ- SYNI mMw'ul motives of reciprocal cAands in the commercial I depots or . air fy, Flanges, and mutually sup ply each other wi h all the necessaries, luxu ries and fabricks of civilized life. In exposing these remarks to public criti cism, 1 a aware they contain nothing but what 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 opinions of the wise and prudent, to examine the various reports of engineers and commit tees of Conventions on this subject, where its importance in the different points ot view held out in the above remarks are demonstrated with unering certainty. I f they have faith in the facts of experience exhibited by works of a similar nature in all places of their construc tion, then they cannot doubt the expediency and importance of the one under consideration —this work combines a multiplicity of inter ests, commensurate with the vast extent of country which it will command.

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. 1 . . . . r’ Arrest of an imputed Slave Ou Friday, t i a man named Edward R. VVaddy, of North . i ampton County, Virginia, as agent of John : Turlington, of Accomac County, in the same I State, by virtue of his letter of Attorney, made ’ - an affidavit, and sued out a writ against a mul -1 , atto man. named Jesse . whom he charged 1 I with being the slave of the said John Turlmg ' ton, and to have escaped from his said muster in theyear 1828, and to have remained since j that period absent from his said master’s ser j vice. In pursuance of this authority, in him j vested; constable Nash arrested Jesse ,and I carried him before Judge Ulshoeffer, at his I chambers in the City Hail, on Saturday morn, i ing, where Mr. A/iHard appeared as Counsel I on the part of the slave, and where Mr. Strang j as Counsel for the claimant, also attended to . prosecute his clients claim. There also came. , [ m all the pride and glory of her sex, the wife - ot Jesse, a handsome looking white woman, who like a second Desdemona, loved her Oth ’( ello, rnaugre the chestnut color of his skin. 1 It soon appeared much to the chagrin and dis appointment of the his counsel, that they lusion in making the 1 the rnau whom they clag; ev*Tv nc *; |be rnag ■) had absconded in 1825, uad in real'll' m 23 r j years a resident of places north ofthe Potomac, JlO years of which he had passed in Nova j Scotia and 13 years in this city; where some time since, out of respect to a reform in public opinion, he had carried the captivating doc trine of amalgamation into full practical effect.) by making a while lady happy, us above des cribed. Mr. Strang not wishing to disturb ) further the holy harmony of this delightful pair, and conscious that his claim was unsustaina ble in justice, withdrew it at once, and mulatto Jesse and his fair affianced bride, walked out of court, rejoicing in new visions of prophetic bliss, amid the congratulations of his brethren ofbrighter and of darker hue* Suit, however, was immediately instituted at the instance of the white friends of Jesse, against Mr. Edward R. Waddy. for the im- ) prisonrnent and false arrest, and he was accor- ' dingly arrested and held to bail to answer; I Messrs. Millard and R. Sedgwick have been I employed as counsel to conduct tne prosecu tion in behalf of Jesse, who has thus happily escaped restoration to slavery, and cherishes ! a hope of being handsomely requited for his' j brief deprivation of liberty.— N.

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.
