(BY REQUEST.)
Extract from a letter to a Charlestonian dated,
HAMBURG, JAN- l°^o.
I made those late sundry cotnmunica-
iions upon the preliminary principles o
founding a Rail-way V™ c,t y to th,s
concentrating vicinity of the interior, be
cause I conceived them to contain some
cardinal points upon this important sub-
u-ct worthy of due reflection and discus
sion : and because I know there is a cer
tain difficulty to be first obviated, in order
to insure success to the enterprise.
That my communications were predi
N. B.—It is possible to construct a sin
gle Rail-way, and furnish it with vehicles,
so as to transport three thousand bales of
Cotton, together with passengers and the
maii, from Hamburg and Augusta to
Charleston, in twelve hours; and at the
very same time to transport a correspond
ing number of loads of merchandise, toge
ther with passengers and the mail, from
Charleston to Hamburg and Augusta, up
on the same single Rail Road.

Washington City, Dec. 7th 1827.

Courier” of 24th inst., to shew that my b .- C riy ! n . the iore P a,r uf Dec. 1424
not verbally, correct, so far as it repre-
remaTks were not founded on fic ion.
I refer you to a writer in that paper over
“ X,” who, I suspect, from the style and
drift of the piece, is from Savannah, or
from some of her sattelites in Augusta,
which is the same thing.
There are several in 'hat place, who,
from their interests in the Banks, and ob
jects of private speculation in a few hous
es and lots in Savannah, would, if in their
power to “ stir up the energies of our
citizens, to make uso of a counteracting
effort, bv which our commerce with Sa
vanna!) will be secured to that place,”
(vide X,) sacrifice the general welfare of
their own State, and 'he just and natural
commercial rights of Charleston.
But they do not represent the senti
ments of the Augustians in general:—If
an improved communication can be estab
lished by Rail-wav, bv which the highest
interest of Hamburg, Augusta, and all the
North and East side of Georgia could be
facilitated, by making Charleston the de
pot, market and outlet, to the Northern
and Foreign ports, instead of Savannah,
there could then be no reason, or sound
argument adduced, why the general wel
fare of Georgia and Charleston, should be
sacrificed to keep up, by force of straia-
gem, more of a noity, than a real com
mercial city.
In my memorial to the City Council of
Charleston last June, I made a slight re
ference to the maritime and geographical
location of Savannah and her only just de
pendence for commercial suppo t, and
stated that she can only be sustained by a
temporary force of artificial operations,
(1 mig lit have added duplicity and deep
intriguejdiametrically opposite to the geo
graphical laws of nature, and to the m-
itoyance of a regular and systematic trade
to Charleston, back and forth, from this
qu trier of the country.
In the teply of that worthy man, your
predecessor, he expressed the following
-entiment:—‘’That it would not be prop, r
to speculate to the possible injury of a
sister city or state, with whom it has al
ways been our greatest pleasure to live on
terms of the purest friendship and good
will ” T-bis is surely a n .file and a re
publican sentiment—I cannot but admire
the heart of the author on the one hand,
while I am compelled-to deprecate upon
the other, that it cannot, nor never will
be reciprocated, except from deceiif'l
pens, on the part of Savannah ; and if the
official organs and capitalists of Charles
ton fancy, from the “ purity” of then
own motives upon this subject, that Sa
vannah will pursue a similar course, if in
her power to do otherwise, they will find
themselves most .egrettiously mistaken,
and that they have but a heartless “ sis-
ter,” when sectional interest is at slake.
Her commerce has been supported io
an eminent degree for the last thirty years
from the grow h of the back districts and
c■■unties of the tw<- Can linas ; and hence,
from the inaction and want of a UNISON
of public spyii, hi herto, on the part
of Chailest ui and he State, Savannah
new thinks, from such long usage of enjoy
ing the rights “ of .i sis.er city and stale,”
that they belong t ■ her by geographical
inhcritar.ee ; and, “ that theS.aie, (Geor
gia,) by making an efficient approptiation,
would secure happiness to thousands, and
Savannah become the great Southern
mart of commerce, from whence, via. (he
Savannah river, ibe interior of the states
villi be supplied with merchandise,”
(vide “X.”)
When Charleston cannot project a
Rail-way, or improvement within her own
state, without consulting the sectional in
terest, and aristocracy of Savannah, (a ve
ry just solution of “ state rights,” the
grand hailing point for inuigue and cor
ruption for office, aud “ counteracting”
tiie improvement ol’ the couniiy,) 1 can
not see tho necessity of continuing that
noble principle of disinterested policy,
expressed by your predecessor in office,
to the greatest “ possible injury” of the
commerce of your city, seeing, that, with
out Charleston, South-Carolina would
bear but little or no weight in the com
mercial world.
The Savannah ptojectof improving the
fiver, by “ contracting the banks opposite
the principal bars, and thereby causing an
increase of friction,” of the current at
bottom, to let off the back water, in dry
seasons, more rapidly, is still the theme,
as represented in my communication to
the editor of the “ City Gazette,*’ sigued,
•* Water Level,” and suppressed. There
is but two ways to secure, unmolested, the
whole trade from this concentrating vicini
ty of a vast, fertile and populous surround
ing interior to Charleston, either of which
-are within her own means, and within her
own right. The time has arrived in which
it behooves her to appreciate them, bv
adopting either, with a permanent and
fired purpose; she would then in three
or four years have nothing to fear nor an
noy her from Savannah, aed the conse
quent *‘ dectease of population” there, can
do far better for themselves, their Banks,
health, and their offspring, by removing
‘but of the way of their own ruin to Bruns
wick Y, Zi
; that he intended to vote for Mr. Adams.
There is no mistake in the date, is a vi
sit which I made to your part of V rginia
about that time enables me to fix it with
certainty. I left Washington, on that vi
sit, about the 15th Doc. and had received
the information from Mr. Clay before I
sat out, and told it, while absent, in the
family of my father-in-law, Col. M'Dow-
ell, of your county. But the inference so
much insisted upon, that I must have told
the same thing to Mr. Eaton & other of
his political friends, is wholly erroneous;
for having no authority from Mr. Clay to
promulga'e his intentions, I only spoke of
them in the bosom ot a private family at
two hundred miles distance from Wash
ington.—Since that period, and especial
ly during the present summer, I have on
several occasions, and sometimes in the
presence of political opponents, when-fhe
course of conversation led me to it, men
tioned what I knew of Mr. Clay’s early
intention to vote for Mr. Adams: and iD
this way I came to speak of it again, some
two or three weeks since, in the house of
my father-in-law, where I had first spoke
of it near three years ago, and whence,
wiih some additions and variations, and
without the privity ofanv one present at
the conversation, it has crept into the pa
per which you have sent me. No one
ever a*ked my leave to publish what I
said ; if any one had, the authors of.the
publication in the Lexington paper might
have been spared an office which must
have been inexpressibly painful to their
honorable feelings, as I should not have
refused to the administration any testimo
ny in mv power to give, notwithstanding
•lie character of the war which the great
body of their forces are carrying on against
me.
Yours respectfully,
THOMAS H. BENTON.
FROM THE NORFOLK HERALD.
Shooting Militiamen-—“ like bullocks
'leference having been, on more than one
•ccasion, made to the execution of a sol-
lier at this post during the late war, while
Gen. Taylor was in command, by way of
palliating the cruelty of shooting six mili
tiamen, under the authority of Gen. Jack-
son, at Mobile, in IS 14, it may not be
amiss for us to state, that the individual
so executed was one of four soldiers be
longing to the regular army,* condemned
liy ’he sentence of a Court Martial to suf
fer death, for repeated desertion, viz.
William Proctor, of the 35th, and Wil
loughby \f-ggs, and Joseph Poole, of
tha5tl)U. S. Infantry, and Lemuel Jack-
son, of Morgan’s Rifle Reg’t. The Gen.
approved the sentence, but conceiving
that the death of one of the fourf would
be sufficient to serve the purpose of an
example to check the growing evil of de
sertion which was almost daily diminish
ing the rolls of the army, ordered the
most guilty, worthless and incorrigible of
•lie Lmr to be selected, and William
Proctor, a private of the 35th regiment U.
S. Infantry was accordingly named, as a
proper subject for that purpose. In
pursuance of his sentence, Proctor was
shot on the 12th of Nov. 1S13, a detach
ment of U. S. soldiers being his execu
tioners, in presenc « of the whole army,
regulars and militia, who were drawn up
to witness the awful scene. The others
were at the same time reprieved. The
impression produced by this single execu
tion had as completely the effect of check
ing the evil which called for such an ex
ample, as if the blood of the whole num
ber sentenced had been spilt; and in thus
acting, we think it will be conceded that
the commanding General evinced both
judgement and humanity.
* In noticing Mr. Randolph’s remarks,
that “ militiamen at Norfolk were shot
down like bullocks,” we observed io our
last, that there was only one militiaman
shot here during the war our memory
was a little treacherous r the soldier shot
belonged to the regular service, No
“ militiaman” was shot at this post during
the war under any authority, save by the
enemy. How, then,could Mr. Randolph,
with all that nice sense of propriety and
fair dealing, for which he has credit, ha
zard the insinuation, that uuder the or
ders of General Taylor, “ militiamen at
Norfolk were shot down like bul
locks.”
t Extract from the general order issued
on the occasion.—'“ Anxious to avert all
suffering not required by the public good,
and under the persuation that the afflict
ing scene which is now passing, will at
tain all the just objects of example, the
General directs that the sentences against
Willoughby Meggs, Lemuel Jackson, and
Joseph Poole, be suspended."
Leghorn Hats.—Mr. Charles Thorn
dike, of Boston, has received from Italy,

laughable Farce of Monsieur Tonson,

evening. It would be but a cold compli
ment to Mr. Kent, jr. to say only, that he
plays Monsieur Mahbleac well—he
plays the character admirably. Those
who have seen his first appearance in that
character, will not fail to enjoy the repre
sentation again; and to those who have
not, we can only say, they have no idea

ADD LESS,
Written by a gentleman of Buffalo, N. Y. for the
Prize, which was offered for the best poem, to
be spoken at the opening of the New Augusta
Theatre. At the request of the Committee of
Selection, it was spoken in the Theatre, on
Wednesday evening. 6th February, 1S28.
With anxious t ope, and not untroubled heart,
I venture here, to piay no actors part—
To welcome friends, I most > ssay to please,
And beg a smile from faces bright as these;
Our Thespian fane, exulting, bid y e view,
To Nature dedicated—and to you!
Bear with me now—yet why attempt to trace
The humbling annals o' a perished race—-
Why follow ] ime. since the Barbarian came,
Wi h crimson’d sword, & ruthless brand of flame,
Struck down the Temples of fair Greece &. Rome.
And sung his triumphs e’er the fallen dome !
Mute at e the Isles where “Sappho loved tc sung”—
Broken the Harp that gentle Maro strung—
Weeps sad Melpomene by the lone shore,
And Thalia smiles, in marbled halls, no more ;
But though in hallowed glory these repose,
One splendid Phoenix from their ashes rose.
T . westfrp climes his inspiration came,
And here Prometheus brought the li ing flame—
The long bright galaxy of time and years—
The Hero's daring. and the Lover's tears,
Nature in every mood—in every age,
Bientin oncwreath,iu Shetkspeart's glorious page.
And, let not Bigotry, portentous frown,
Or the gay smile of harmless mirth, disown—
Look not on happiness with troub'ed groan,
And deem the world, for misery made alone.
There is a time for ail—Adown the sky,
The darkening storm and thunder-cloud mayfly,
But they shall pass ! And the blue Heaven again,
With golden clouds, and sunshine in its train,
Companioned with soft winds £: blushing flowers.
And minstrel warblings from our summer bowers’
Shall glance, in beauty, the glad landscape o’er,
As bright in smiles, as deep in shades before!
The thousand emblems of life’s varied scene
The pageant dream of al! that there hath been—
The good man’s triumph—the repentant’s tear,
Are the deep lessons w< would read vou here.
It is not ours, as dark designers say,
To dazzle sense, and lead the heart estrav ;
Can virtue’s sufferings touch the bosom less,
Because we paint them in their saddest dress ?
Shall Vice and Folly more attractive grow,
As both, in native ugliness, we show l
Shall guilt dread less his waken'd conscience sting,
When smarts the wound Si probed its secret spring?
Or will it blunt pure feelings that we prove
The strength of Friendship & the power of Love ?
No ! let the sickly cant of modern days,
Seek native gloom, and shun truth’s stedfast gaze;
Good was the object of the ancient stage,
And we shall hold our Fathers’ heritage :
Its purpose then, is e’en its purpose new,
To chace the wrinkles from thecare-wo-n brow—
“ To hold the Mirror up to Nature’s” face,
And changing times, and men and manners trace;
Its chiefest aim, by Grecian sage defined,
“To sooth the passions, and instruct the mind.”
“ The domestic exports of the United
States, in 1796, were about $33,000,000,
exclusive of cotton and tobacco.”—
[Yes, gentlemen, “ exclusive of cotton and
tobacco.] “ In 1825 excluding those ar
ticles ; they were only $23,982,478.—
Our population in 1796, was about 4,750-
GOO. It is now about 12.500,000. Thus,
while it has nearly trebled, the exports of
all the articles produced by about ten mil
lions of our population," [that is, allow
ing 2,500,000 for the cultivation of
cotton and tobacco,] “have diminished
one third ; although the export of ma
nufactures has increased above four fold,
“Address of the Pennsylvania Society,
page 4.
In regard to (he difference between the
price stated by Col. McKenney, in his
letter to the Secretary of War, to have
been given to the Creek Indians, in the
recent Treaty concluded by him with that
People (to wit, 5000 dollars and that
which was stipulated at the ratification of
the Treaty at their Council, we are au
thorised to say, that it was added at the
Council, it being usual to make presents
on suci occasions, and was, in pursuance
of instructions left by him, under the an- j
ticipated belief that they would look for I
something. We aie informed, that the
price stipulated is about 150,000 dollars
less than had beeu heretofore offered them;
but this saviug to the Government may
not be put dewn to a grinding policy in
the negociation, we understand that, whilst
it saved that much to the nation, ij took
the Creeks, with whom he negotiated,
without the operation of their own laws,
which make it death to sell land, except
by consent of the nation in full council —
It was assumed by Col. McK. that this
was no new act of cession, but simply car
rying into effect the spirit & understanding
of the Treaty of Washington; but, to
make this clear, it was insisted that the
same price, and according to quantity,
should be received for it. This basis was
accepted ; and less money and safety pre
ferred by the Indians, to a larger sum and
danger..
That acute observer, Sir Thomas
Browne, in a “ letter to a friend, upon the
occasion, of the death of his intimate
friend,” has well described a remarkable
appearance at the moment of death.
“At my first visit I was bold to tell
those who had not let fall all hopes of his
recovery, that in my sad opinion, he was
not to behold a grasshopper, much less to
pluck another fig; and in no long time af
ter, seemed to discover odd mortal symp
tom in him mentioned by Hippocrates,
'hat is, to loose his own face, and looked
like some of his near relations; for he
maintained not his proper countenance,
but looked like his uncle, the lines of
whose face lay deep and invisible in his
faithful visage before; for as from our be
ginning we run through a variety cf looks
before our end, by sick and languishing al
terations, we put on new visages : and in
our retreat from earth may fall upon such
looks, which, from community of seminal
originals, were before latent in us.”
A writer in the Florida Advocate ex
presses the belief.(hat the best and only
practicable route for connecting the wa
ters of the Atlantic with thos«* of the
Gulpli of Mexico is by a Cana] between
the Oakmulgee and Flint rivers; and says
that the project of a Canal through the
Peninsula of Florida, since the survey
made by Gen. Bernard, is considered as
abandoned.'
New Orleans, Jan. 12.
Mr. F. Gardere, was yesterday elect
ed Treasurer of the State. On the 4th
ballot he received 35 votes. Mr. Gar
dere and two other candidates were ad
ministration men.
The majority for the administration in
the two houses of the Legislature, is six
teen, we believe. Considering the very
small number of members, this majority
is overwiteming. The relative strength
throughout the State is about the same.
Twelvemonths ago New Orleans was
considered, if not for Jackson, at any
rate a doubtful city. What has caused
the wide revulsion and conversion in pub
lic sentiment here, but the fact, that the
opposition, organized against Mr. Adams,
is the most reckless, dgringand dangerous
one, ever clubbed together against the lib-
euies or prosperity of a country.
