I should suppose that a friend in time,

I take this opportunity, before I dis

him that the above remarks are intended
to breathe the same friendly desire, with
the tenor of his remarks, to aid in afford

In the late debate respecting Theatres,
in the Legislature of Massachusetts, Mr.
Sedgwick, of Stockbridge, said :
‘‘He agreed with gentlemen that The
atres were poor things, but did not believe
that they were so great an evil as some
-,1 v ferment, and thus perhaps produce a gentlemen apprehended ; he thought it a
corroding acid in combination with the in-| great mistake to attempt to legislate a
sects excrement, whose peculiar action is j code of morals. In regard to the The-

BOR THE G ORGIA COURIER.
publication
letter to a Charlestonian, originated from
his remarks in the preceding numbers of
the Courier, is very just and natural; and
his wishing to avoid a “controversy” upon
the subject of improving the communica
tion from this vicinity to the sea, meets
the most.cordial acquiescence ofY. Z.
I will, however, beg leave, to demur to
one poiut to which X has alluded, or in
fact asserted with some emphasis, in re
gard to the “right of Savannah to expend
one million of dollars to make the river
navigable at all seasons <>f the year,” with
out the consent of South-Carolina.,
The appropriation of the $40,000 of
the people’s public money, by the Legis
lature of Georgia, and the application
commented for the improvement of the
river, or more properly speakiug, for the
destruction of the Steam-boat navigation,
in even ordinary dry seasons, below Au
gusta, is in violation of a solemn compact
on the 28th of April, 1827, between the
two States, and sanctioned by Congress.
I desire not to raise any controversy
upon this part of the subject, but merely
to state for the information of X, that
a “ contraction of the banks opposite the
principal bars to increase he fiction” of
the current at bottom, would remove those
natural barriers which nature has placed
there to keep up back water in times <
low river, and the natural consequence
would be, that the waters from the interi
or would rush down the declivity of the
country the more rapidly to the level oi
the sea,and thereby destroy the navigation
of the Charleston, as well as the Georgia
Steam-boats ; ami as Charleston could
not make use of pole and flat boats to
Hamburg and Augusta, on account of the
inland passage, and sounds upon the sea-
coast. the whole trade of this river would
then oe forced, in pole and light boats, to
Savannah, (by the stratagem and deep in
trigue to which I alluded,) iu violation of
the Treaty of Beaufort.
This is what I conceive to be the es
sence of the object of this wonderful and
patriotic improvement on the part o* Si-
vannah, who moves the wires of this grand
scheme.
The treaty, of Beaufort says, in the
most positive terms, not to be misunder
stood, that “ the navigation of Savannah
river is declared henceforth to be equally
free to the citizens of both states, and ex
empt from all duties, tolls, hinderance, in
terruption, and molestation whatsoever,
attempted to be enforced by one State on
‘Jie citizens of the other.” The navigable
advantages of the river, therefore, are the
joint property of the two States, from
bank to bank, and cannot be “ interrupted
nor molested” by one, without the consent
of the other.
This subject, so littlo understood, is
therefore important, both to Georgia and
Carolina.
In regard to the banks, merchants and
people of Savannah, having to be “ led to
Brunswick,” hereafter, I will only state
nav most profound conviction on this part
of the subject, to wit:—That such an e-
xent, at no distant day, is irrevokably
decreed bv nature ; and as an evidence
of the fact, we have only to look to the
tapid emigration, improvement in wealth,
agriculture and commercial importance ot
the vast fertile regions west cf the Oconee
river in Georgia, which must in a few
years gain the ascendency ; and then the
banks, merchants and people of Savannah
will have no other alternative to make
their bread, but to remove to Brunswick,
or do worse, (w here thev can do far better
for themselves,) and help to raise that
place as a sea-port of some permanency
and consequence to Georgia. *
I did not njpke the country, but believe
this commertial revolution is as legible
upon the face of it, (except to sectional
eyes,) as the nose oa a man’s physiogno
my.
It would, therefore, seem to me not
unadvisable for them to hold up their mo
ney and Banking outlets in the interior,
predicated upon the Treasury and Bank
Stock of the State, until it can be more
fully ascertained, whether or net. Savan
nah can be permanently sustained by ar
tificial operations, in retaining to her that
greater portion of her former and present
trade, which by nature and right, belongs
to Charleston and Brunswick.
That Charleston, or the rights of Bruns
wick should “ mutually participate in the I
for amusemont : but which had, in a great
degree, been abandoned for the more ra
tional amusement of the Theatre. The
licensed dancing and gambling houses had
greatly diminished, and tlie morals of the
cily were improved, and this in ihe opin
ion of his informant, was fairly attributa
ble to the introduction of the Theatie.”
Washingto , Feb. 6.—We were led
into an error by exiracts from New Or
leans prints, published in the N. Y. papers,
bv which it was mad ? to appear that Grn.
Jackson lef New Orleans at 1 o’clock on
the night of the 8th of January. Posi
tively as this was stated, we are better in
formed by subsequent accounts. It was
the night of the 14 ; h that he left New Or
leans. In the time which intervened be
tween that day and the 8th, Gen Jackson
and his lady were politely and courteously
entertained at various public and private
parties, and pretty generally visited at
their lodgings. Gen. Jackson was accom
panied, in his visit to New Orleans, bv
Gov. Houston, of the State of Tennessee,
and several other friends.—Nat. Pnt.

Holland, that last year, in a popnlation of
upwards of six m Ilians, there were but
two executions.—Charleston Pat.

If, as Shakespeare says, the proper end of the
Drama is “To hold as ’twere the mirror up to
nature, to shew virtue her own feature, vice her
own image, and the very age and body of the

mated picture of every species of LIFE IN LON
DON, Deprived, through the filtering stone of
the proprietor’s critical care, of all that might
disgust or offend even the most fastidious imagi
nation, that experience of the economy of life, and
that knowledge of many of its stumbling blocks,
which have heretofore only been purchased at
th-' expense of many pounds, much time, and
frequently no small share of peace and health,
may, by the means of this piece, lie effectually
and pleasantly acquired and secured, As in a
mirror, life is. in TOM fe JERRY, shewn in all its
varieties Virtue sees its own feature, Vice its
own im^ge, and the very age and body of the
time is furnished by author, artist and dress-make-
