AUGUSTA.
We owe the reception of the Savannah
Georgian of Tuesday tat to the polite-
nets of Capt. Wray, of the Steam Packet
Carolina. VVhv can not the mails be sent
by the packets which so regularly and so
rapidly ply between Savannah and Augus
ta ? Or if they must be continued by
laud, is not a daily mail to Savannah of
1oorc importance to us than one to Mil-
iedgeville 1 Georgia is asleep on the sub
ject of her interests iu this quarter.
The Governor, in obedience to an act
pf the last Legislature, has extended by
proclamation the criminal jurisdiction of
this State over that part of the Cherokee
Lands lying within the limits of Georgia.
Weltave received the Jacksonian, pub
lished at McDonnoueh, Henry County
Geo. by Samuel W. Minbr. It will be
some recommendation to the friends of
General Jackson to know that the publish
er of the above paper was the first who
nominated him for the Presidency of the
United States.
WAfiHXNOTON, «*• ^
At length the Rouse of Representatives
has got clear of the undefined debate in
which it became unexpectedly engaged
upon the motion of Mr. Chiltov, of
Kentucky ; and, as might have been an
ticipated, notwithstanding all the debate
upon them, Resolutions, so modified, how
ever, as to bear little resemblance to their
original form, have passed unanimously.
The opponents of the Administration
desired the inquiry, and its friends have
seconded their wishes. The contest
seems to have been who should be most
in favor of it, rather than upon any other
point.
The debate has been throughout some
what ptquan*, at its close, became rather
tumultuous and disorderly. The scene of
last night was one suoh as is seldom ex
hibited in the Representatives* Hall, and
it is hoped will seldom be repeated.
Now the storm of debate is over, we
hope that the angry feelings which have
been excited in it will subside, and that
the House will resume its regular action.
There is much important business befoie
it, requiring the exercise of all its discre
tion, and the suppresson of every thing
like such angry feeling as is excited by
mutual crimination and reproach. The
Tariff Bill and the Judiciary B\\\ involve
questions of too much pith and conse
quence to be deg.aded into mere party
questions, or argued or settled on mere
party principles.
Intelligencer.
' maintain their intellectual or persona) in
dependence. We have not enquired if
the sentiments w? have expressed aje re
sponded by the “Augustians generally,”
nor do we say they ought to be. Reason
is a shrine to which every man must bow,
and if they or we have drawn wrong de
ductions, it must be attributed to some
error in the association or perception of
ideas. X.

theatre.
Mr. De Camp made his first appear
ance before an Augusta audience on
Tuesday Evening as George Gossamer,
in Laugh when you Can, and Philip
Garbois, in the Farre of 102. He
made laughing philosophers of the whole
audience, and presented in the farce the
most inimitable representation of the old
soldier, in whom the accumulated snows
of 102 winters had not extinguished the
fire of youth, and the ardent love of mili
tary glory.
Mr. Green in sambo presented the true
character of an honest servant. In this
gentleman’s manner of playing we recog
nise just conception of character, and but
few, and those slight, inac •uracies in the
representation. From having seen him
personate mote than one character in the
plav, we judgediitn to he among the most
useful members of the theatrical corps.—
If an actor is deficient iu his part, or
thinks himself not sufficiently regarded in
{[:e cast of characters, or from any other
cause, the dramatis persona: are not com
plete, the play must stop, or Mr. Green
must take the part. This seems to have
been the case on tuesday night, from the
apology’ of the managers. Mr. Green,
< with but a short notice, was obliged to
personate a character, in which he was
not cast, or disappoint the audience. The
-public will knowhow to reward this dis
position to please, md to appreciate the
sacrifice which Mr. Green must necessari
ly make of his feelings bv suddenly appear
ing before an audience, not as well prepa
red as he would have been, had he been
originally cast for the character. Ham
lets, Othellos and Richards, no doubt
offer themselves to the Managers in abun
dance—-tdi would like to strut their hour of
importance upon the stage in the charac
ters of Kings, Princes and Heroes; but
who would not prefer Mr. Green in the
humble sambo, or fastastic Mr. Chasses,
the dancing Master, with the true concep
tion he fjas of his parts, to see the most
princely and heroic characters butchered
by a conceited coxcomb, whose vanity
and importance take a terrible alarm at
the assignment of an inferior part. Na
ture even in her lowest dress, presents
charms to the eyes of intelligence and
feeling, which art can never reach with
her coronets, her clarions and rustling
banners, and all the array of pemp and
magnificence, with which she delights at
times to sarround her dramatic heroes.
We are requested to state, that there
will be no postponement of the entertain
ments in the Theatre on account of wea
ther. When, therefore, such reports are
in circulation as existed yesterday after
Ooon, and -which was the cause of the post
ponement of Paul Pry, as auuounced, the
public may rest assured that they are
groundless, as the managers have express
ed their determination that, when perfor-
oance is announced in the Theatre, those
»!-*o honot them with their presence shall
Cot be disappointed.

Averse to any thing like controversy
we would not have noticed the extract
from “ Y. Z’s letter, if we had not pre
sumed that the person at whose request it
was inserted, intended it as a reply to our
remarks “ over X,” or with a view to elicit
some further exposition of the effect of
Rail Roads.
The drift of the writer (Y. Z.) appears
to have been an anxious desire to convince
his correspondent that there was “ a cer
tain difficulty to be first obviated in order
to ensure success to the enterprise,” and
that X had given a demonstration of the
feeling that existed in “ Savannah, or
some of her satellites in-Augusta,” and
supports the right of Charleston to be
come the “ depot, market, and outlet to
Northern and Foreign ports.”
It is not expedient to display our views
of interest in the Banks or privato specu
latiojis we only intend to discover (if
we can) why Savannah is to be put down
by monopoly—why her citizens are to be
led to Bruuswick—or why her Banks
health, and children should be milled un
righteously out of their ancient posses
sions. The claims of Charleston or Sa
vaunaii to become tho “ outlet, depot,”
&c. ought to be founded on the superior
facilities that each may possess for the
transportation of goods and intelligence to
& from the interior; if it appears that one
has the advantage then it naturally be
comes the “depot,” &c.; but if each are
on par with the other, or the natural defi
ciencies of either can be remedied by art
then, individual) >, they have the right of
using whatever means they can command
to gam the ascendency without “ consult
ing the sectional interest or aristocracy”
of each other. Charleston has an undis
puted right to expend three millions of
dollars on a Rail Way. Savannah has the
same right to employ one million in mak
ing the Rivei navigable at all seasons of
the year. These are rights inherent to
all combinations of men which “sectional”
feeling can neither qualify nor modify ;
and if Georgians have been divested of
them, we are not aware of it. ‘ Suppose
the question was urged, whether Charles
ton, Beaufort, Savannah, or Darien, was
the most proper place for the location of
an United States Navy Yard. The inha
bitants of each place would as certainly
vote for their own town, as that they know
it would be an advantage to them ; or if
the question was, whether Carolina or
Georgia should be the place, they would
as certainly vote for themselves. Now,
to say that they had followed the dictate
of gross self-interest, in seeking to ensure
this advantage to themselves, would be
absurd. No, a love of country exists in
the bosom of almost every man, and he
feeis an honest pride in contributing ever
so little to the welfare or glory of
the state or country that affords him pro
tection, or from which he derives the hon
orable means of subsistence. The union
of Stales do not depend on mercenary
connections, necessity or accident; it is
that mutual participation in misfortune or
glory that affects the heart of man and cre
ates a reciprocal regard for those to whom
he is so uearly allied ; they know that
wealth is not happiness, but a means in
the pursuit of which they are all alike free
to take their own course, and that the
“ sectional” feeling (more properly "hon
est contention) that is excited by the com
bination of men acting in particular loca
tions in the pursuit of that means, is no
longer censured than the suggestions ufen*
vy are listened to.
Located as conveniently as Charleston,
and presenting as “just, natural and com
mercial rights,” having it in her power to
establish a permanent, cheap and expedi
tious communication with Augusta and
Hamburg, and above all, as capable of be
ing as “ noisy” as ever ; we cannot con
vince ourselves, that Savannah has no
right to exert herself to secure perma
nently, and with a “ fixed purpose, these
advantages, nor can we discover any sa
tisfactory ground for relying on the “^w-
ritif" of the motives of the “official organs
aud capitalists of Charleston; but perhaps
it is because our minds are not so flexible
as to receive impressions tbatcould recon
cile us to the abandonment of any “ no
ble or disinterested” feeling. The Rail
Road may be constructed or the Riv
er improved, still on points of imagined
sectional difference, “ duplicity and deep
intrigue,” “ corruption for office " and
“ counteracting,”, will be charged" to us as
