COLUMBIA THUIMDAI, NOVEMBER 11, 1838. Slate Aid to Rail Roads. As was to be expected, applications for aid from the State in the construction of Railroads, arc get tin 0, to be a staple article in the proceedings of our Legislature. In advance of any action upon the subject, we desire to enter our protest against the inauguration of that system. Wo object to it both upon principle and policy. We are here treading upon ground which was formerly the arena of fierce, political controversy. It was then sought by one of the great political divisions of the country, to incorporate the policy of internal improvement among the accepted dogmas of national politics. The same arguments were advanced then, as now, for the adoption of the system ; that it would de vclope the resources of the country and add to the prosperity of the whole people, and that the schemes were too grand and gigantic for accom plishment by individual exertion. The instructed moral sense of the people rebuked this position with the declaration, that the system was partial and unjust; that it wa3 essentially wrong to tax one portion of the country for the benefit of anoth er; that the duty of government was best dis charged when it was confined to the enactment of wise and equal laws for the protection of liberty and property, and abstained from all interference with the employment of labor arid capital; that schemes of iuternal improvement should he left to individual interprisc, for that if they were a profit able investment of capital, individuals would cer tainly undertake them, and if unprofitable, both parties, individuals and the public, had better let them alone. These positions, which we need not elaborate, commended themselves to the judgment of the American people, and tho theory, at least, of internal improvement by the General G overn ment was left without support. The same consid erations apply with equal directness and force to every appeal for aid for similar objects, from Gov ernment, whether State or Federal. They are simple and intelligible. They address themselves to the common understanding of men and compel its assent. “ The dull swain treads daily on them with his clouted slioon.” But it is said, by the advocates of State aid, that the State is not asked to enter directly upon the system of internal improvement; she is only required to lend her credit —to give her endorse ment to bonds of the various companies under cir cumstances and conditions which render the fact of her ultima:e loss an impossible contingency.— If this can bo done, the request, we must admit, is not very immodest. But hold ! we hope we will be indulged in suggesting softly that someone will have to pay for the road. Wo have every rea son to suppose that payment will he made, as far as practicable, in bonds. Money is never used in the payment of debts until every other means of set tlement areexhausted. ThcStatc will then certain ly be nominally liable for the amount of her endorse ments. But these bonds must be paid. They cannot run always. In the meantime the earnings of the roads have to meet tho periodical instalments of interest. Is it probable that they will be able to do this? Can it bo considered possible that, in addition to this, they will be able to pay the in stalments of principal ? How many of the roads that will spring in to existence under this wholesale system of State aid, will not be able to pay in ad dition to their running expenses, the interest upon tho cost of their iron. A few weeks ago, Georgia Railroad Stock sold in Augusta at niuety cents in the dollar. Over this road the produce of nearly one half the area of this State and a large portion of eastern Tennessee and Northern Alabama finds its way to market. The Muscogee Railroad Stock has been down to sixty cents in the dollar. Look at its sources of revenue! The State Road, it will be admitted, penetrates the most productive section of the State ; yet, with all its Tennessee and Ala bama trade, and under the incomparable manage ment of Dr. Lewis, its earnings do not pay six per cent, on its original cost. The Central Railroad is the only road in the State and, perhaps in the South, the stock of which remains permanently at or above par value. Now, if such be the true report with reference to the great central highways of freight and travel, what must be said of the probable valuo of the stock of the thousand and one schemes, to connect the little villages all over the country with these main trunks, which will bo stimulated into being by the prospect and promise of State aid ? The idea that the State is only lending her credit to such enterprises, without even a chance of ulti mate responsibility, is fallacious. She will be called upon for the payment of the bonds as they fall due, and when she turns to reimburse herself she will find of what value is a mortgage upon worthless property, or a recourse upon broken stockholders. The grand result of the operation will bo that the State will become the proprietor of most of the stock, and as we cannot aheays have Governor Brown and Dr. Lewis to manage such property for us, we object to the policy as well as the principle, of making the acquisition. If she comes out ofdhe entanglement with her credit un scathed—without the stain of repudiation upon it, she will be largely indebted to the care and gui dance of a favoring providence. A Wild Cat bone In.# Great excitement was created in Peoria, 111., a few days ago, by tho failure of Curtiss A Cos. They were the owners of the ‘‘Cherokee Insurance and Banking Cos.” at Dalton, Ga., and it is supposed that they had 5i50,000 of that currency in circu lation. This they refuse to take in payment of their own debts. The mob threatened to tear down their banking house, and the military wore notified to be ready to restrain them. United States Army. —The present military force of the United States consists of nineteen reg iments of the line, composed of the following corps; Five regiments of cavalry, four regiments of ar tillery, ten of infantry, making a grand aggregate of thirteen thousand rank and file of all arms.— ! This little array covers an area of over two mil- ‘ lions of square miles, being two-thirds the area of all Europe. There are eleven hundred commit- ! sioned officers, including one hundred medical of- ‘ ficers, eight hundred and fifty of whom graduated j at tho Military Academy, and two hundred and fifty civil appointments. The nativity of tlose officers is as follows: Born in tho United States, 1,060; Ireland, H ; France, 8 ; England, 6;G r many, 3; Scotland, 2; Austria, 1 ; Portugal, 1 • Spain, 1; Cuba, 1; Turkey, 1; at sea, tfree.— The miiitia force of the United State* is computed lit 3,000,000 effective men. MILLEDGEVILLE CORRESPONDENCE. Milledgeville, Nov. Oth 1858. Mr. Editor: —The House was engaged this morning in the reconsideration of a resolution, lost yesterday, appointing a Committee to locate a site for the Penitentiary. Messrs. Kenan of Baldwin, Smith of Towns, Hardeman of Bibb, Hillyer of Walton, and others participated in the debate.— The resolution was considered a test question whether the Penitentiary should be removed. The vote stood G 7 for re-consideration aud 75 against it. The debate occupied the whole morning. In the Senate many bills of a local character passed. None of general interest. Hon. James Gardner and William H. Stiles are here. The Su preme Court are engaged on the docket of the South-Western Circuit. While Milledgeville is not overrun with visit ors, there are many beautiful ladies here, who grace frequently the galleries of the capitol with their presence. The Proprietors of the Hotels are accommoda ting, and have good servants. No sickness among the members. Georgia Legislature. SENATE. Monday Morning, Not. 8. The Senate was called to order pursuant to ad journment by the Hon. Win. M. Brown of the county of Marion, who on taking the Chair, thanked the Senate for the honor conferred upon him at its last session. He would endeavoor to proceed with impartiality. It being the regular order for the third reading jof bills the followdug bills were read a third time and acted upon: A bill to allow the Justices Courts of Lee and Sumter counties to commence their sittings on Friday and sit for two days if necessary. Mr. Blood worth of Pike, said he was opposed to the passage of the bill on the ground that he had introduced a general bill covering the whole ground. lie opposed local legislation where it could bo prevented. Mr. Kill of Harris said the gentleman did not fully understand the hill, it was to change the times of holding the Inferior Court, his bill does not comprehend such a state of facts. Mr. Ward of Butts, said he was opposed to local legislation when it could be obviated by a general bill. Mr. Slaughter of Dougherty thought it a local bill and ought to pass. Ou motion of Mr. Guerry of Randolph, the bill was laid on the table to be taken up at any time. A bill to aid in tho construction of the Elijay R. R. Referred to the committee on Internal Im provements. A bill for the relief of Lawson Cody, amend ment by inserting the name of Emily Shaw. Mr. Dawson wanted “light, more light,” on the sub ject. Mr. Robison of Talbot, said that as to Mr. Cody, bis wife petitioned the Legislature, she was a young woman, and really wanted to marry,and ho would think it an outrage to refuse her. The petition was read, signed by Mr. Lawson Cody and Frances Cody. Mr. Gordon said that, as to Emily Shaw, she was a young woman, wanted to to marry, and by the way, was really pretty. The bill as amended was passed. A bill amending acts regulating tavern and re tail license in this State; passed. A bill to increase the salary of the Superinten dent of the W. A A. R. R.

Mr. Hams, of Worth, from the Committee on new Counties, reported a bill reeommendiug its passage, to organize anew couuty from Henry aud Fayette, to be called Butler county, the couu ty site to be at Jonesboro’. Mr. Johnson of Fayette amended by filling certain blanks in the bill. Mr. Whitaker by al tering tho couDty in some respect. A memorial was then read, signed by about 1,500 voters of the two counties. Mr. Wilcoxen, of Coweta, said that he was opposed to the pass age of the bill, on the ground that there was no necessity for the county. lie had understood, from good authority, that a great many of the names were not voters of the county, and some were even fictitious. Mr. Johnson, of Fayette, said that the petition had been before the Senate fora whole year, and it was now too late to raise such an objection as to the names of the signers of the petition. He thought a majority of the people of both Henry and Fayette were in favor of the bill. lie did not see why the Senator from Coweta, should in terfere, it was not/ue county! Mr. Reynolds of Newton, opposed the bill, he was opposed to new counties any how, he was opposed to the cutting up of the counties of the State. He hoped the bill would not pass. On the passage of the bill, the yeas were 73, nays 37, and the bill was passed. Afterwards, several bills were read a 2d time, a portion of the time Mr. P. 11. Colquitt in the Chair. During the reading of the bills 2d time, Mr. Whitaker of Fulton, moved to refer the bill incor porating the R. R. City Bank, to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. W. A. Harris, of Worth, sug gested its reference to Governor Brown, which brought the House down. The Senate then adjourned until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. HOUSE. Monday Morning, Nov. 8.

Mr. Boggess, of Carroll, to aid in the construc tion of the Savannah, Griffin, and North Ala bama Railroad. State aid seems to be gaining ground, judging from the number of projects now asking lor it. — Would it not be better to pass a grand State aid bill? Then every Railroad could participate in the benefits without special legislation for any.— Then no portion of the State could complain that another section had enjoyed benefits denied to it self.

The small remnant of stock open to individual subscription will soon be taken, and if a list of stockholders as substantial as any bank could ever boast, a directory, the most pru dent and efficient, officers the most competent, and the good wishes of the whole community furnish any assurance of success, we may confidently an ticipate a most useful and prosperous career for the Eastern Bank of Alabama.— Eufaula Spirit of the South. Piracy in the Black Sea. —The Journal de Constantinople relates an audacious act of piracy which had been committed in the Black Sea. The Dutch brig Maria Catherina, Capt. Poel, with a crew of seventeen men, left Constantinople for Trebizond with a cargo of sugar and coffee. She took on board a pilot named Panai Arghiri. This man, when they had been three days at sea, and had reached within two miles of Sinope, went into the Captain’s cabin at night, murdered him, and then attempted to change the course of the vessel. The crew, however, had their suspicions excited, and the pilot, perceiving the circumstance, jump ed overboard and swam towards a vessel which was not at a great distance, and the captain of which is supposed to have been an accomplice of his. The Dutchmen, however, lowered their boat and caught the criminal; and. being unwilling to put in with their prisoner to a Turkish port, where ; justice would probably not have been done, steer- | ed for Odessa, where, on their arrival, they made j their declaration, and gave up the murderer to the , Russian authorities. A Slave Difficulty. —The schooner Mystic Valley,,Capt. M , owned by Messrs. Benner A I Deake, on her recent voyage from New York to > Key West, carried as a passenger a faithful slave owned by a gentlemen in Key West, (who had per mitted him to travel on his own guarantee,) with- ! out being aware that the revenue laws required ! the entering of the said slave at the Custom House by a manifest. On arriving at her destination in Florida, the vessel was seized by the Collector of the port, and is already confiscated to the govern ment, or imperilled in this respect. We learn that the owners, who are very respectable and j honost merchants of this city, have applied to the President to have the forfeiture remitted, and we hope they may succeed, having been innocent of any intention to violate the revenue Y , Journal of Ommoro t, Telegraphic.

Washington, Nov. 10—The emigrants to Ni caragua will go thither by an invitation from the Democratic party of that country who have made preparations to revolutionize the country. The result anticipated will be the return of the Cass Yriseari treaty ratified. The State department has prepared a letter re buking Jarez far his interference with White’s transit arrangements. Additional by the Kangaroo. New York. Nov. 9 p. m — The general Parlia mentary elections in England have resulted in favor of the liberal party. Eurydice won the Cambridge hire stakes. Pri oress came in the sixth. It is stated that the French are about to estab lish apogt at Canton. The Wabash was preparing to leave Constanti nople. In London the money market have sligthly im proved, and loans were abundant at IK per cent. Cable shares were quoted at £368. Lord Napier’s Despatch to the State Department. The substance of the despatch of Lord Napier to the State Department, in regal’d to Nicaragua mattors, is represented to be, in effect, that the Nicaragua Government will avail itself of the aid of the British fleet to prevent tho landing of Amer icans emigrating to that country, for the purpose of colonization. Every American who visits Nic aragua, for the purpose of settling in that coun try, will only be recognized by the British Govern ment as a fillibuster, and treated accordingly. The whole question is now settling down to a British protectorate over Nicaragua. This is just what we have been trying to impress upon our people for the past three years. Arms and ammu nition were furnished by the British Government to Costa Rica, and other Central American States, in the first place, to drivo the Americans out of Nicaragua, after they had been peaceably invited there by a very large portion of the people of that republic. It was through British intrigue that Costa Rica, Guatemala, San Salvador, and Hon duras combined for that purpose, and raised the bloody flag and war-ery of “death to nil North Americans /” British guns in the hands of the Costa Ricans broke up the Nicaraguan Transit route while un der the control of American citizens, and the British fleet at San Juan protected the Costa Ri cans in holding the property they robbed from our people when this outrage was committed. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty, then, was a dead letter in the eyes of the British Government. It can cover “Monsieur Belly’s” scheme, but not the rights of American citizens, notwithstanding they were in peaceable possession of the Nicaragua Transit route. These are all facts, and are sustained by records at the State Department. If not there, tho facts can bo substantiated by the very best testimony. The policy of the British Government will soon bo distinctly understood. It will assume a protecto rate over Nicaragua, and American emigration to that country will be strictly prohibited. The British Government was instrumental in procuring the expulsion of Americans from Nicar agua; and now, having them out of the country, its policy will be to keep them out. Will the American people tamely submit to such encroachments of British power?,— Washington States. The foreign papers contain a strange account of a trial in France, growing out of a marriage in England between a young Frenchman and an English woman, who falsely misrepresented her pecuniary circumstances, and the social position of her family, for the purpose of obtaining the consent of the young man’s father to tho union. The case is a curious one upon the facts, and the decision of the court is very important. The law declared by it is, that a French subject, under twenty-five years of age, cannot contract a mar riage in a foreign country without the consent of his or her parent. It follows from this, that an American, before entering into a “French Alli ance” of this sort here, should be sure of one of two things, viz: that the other party is either twenty-five years of age, or has obtained the pa rental consent to the marriage. Tho object of the French law probably is, to oppose an obstacle to runaway matches, on the part of young persons, by declaring marriages abroad, without the pre scribed consent, invalid. In doing this, the French have only extended their municipal law respecting marriage to French subjects abroad; The prin ciple of the French law has been authoritatively asserted by tho British House of Lords, as the High Court of Appeals, namely, that if either of the parties labors under any legal disability to en ter into a marriage contract in England, and they proceed to another country and get married, such marriage will be declared invalid in England, and the issue of such marriage cannot inherit as heirs at law.

And although he does not pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United States, yet he fears not the result of a comparison with those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver i tisements and puffs of their own manufacture. He prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture will call and give him a trial, he will convince them that he fully understands the modus operand* of picture taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial trial, and he fears no competition from any quarter. His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store, Broad Street, where he will be happy to receive visitors and show them his specimens at all times. v G. T WILLIAMS, Nov. 6—4md Photographic Artist.
