This beautiful Bay is situated on the West side es( 'ape St. Blas or gambles, as we notice it is called in some of the an cient maps or geographies, and it is form ed by a narrow strip of neck of land ex tending from the Cape about 20 miles Noithurcfly afong the coast and nearly parallel wilh it,which in the old mapsand chaits is called St. Joseph’s. The Bay is from four to seven miles in breadth. Its entrance or mouth is at the Northern end of the ruck of land above mentioned, which is also near that extremity of the Bay making it about 20 miles lohg. It is peculiar in not having any but one or two very inconsiderable fresh water streamlets enqtying into it, and in its uni form and unbroken high and bold pine bluffs, ami it is stated as an extarordinary circumstarrce (owing doubtless to the fact of its not being the reservoir of any fresh water stream as above stated) that its waters are actually more salt than those of the Gulf on the Ei st side of the Cape and at the mouth of the Apalachicola Bay. The Eastern arm of the Bay is only separated from the Gulf on the Eas tern arm of C.tpe St Bias by a strip of land scarcely 300 yarctowide,.—the whole cape being in Let a narrow peninsula. 1 his place is called the Indian haul over —it being formerly a place where the In dians in their voyages round the coast, por agid their canoes across, in prefer ence to going around the Cape. It has long been known that the chan nel at the entrance oflheßay afforded from 20 to 25 feet water,but upon art cent care ful examination,• it was certainly ascer tained that there is a safe and easy chan nel of 2t) ieet at all times into-good har bour and safe anchorage within the Bay. The Harbour is one of the most splendid in the world. We make this assertion on the authoiity of ger.tiemen of the first respectability—nautical men of experience and intelligence, who have personally sei n most of tie harbours of reputation, and who pronounce it inferior to none. It is completely landlocked—it is deep, and it affords the best anchorage. The town has been located on sections 12 and 18, Township 8, Range 11, South & West, being near the upper end of the bay. It is laid out after the plan of Philadelphia, immediately on the shore extending back about a mile The land upon which the location is made, and in its imnu diate vi cinity is not very rich, but. is a light san dy bluff, which as it is greatly conducive to health is an advantage. The best waler is afforded by sinking wells a few feet in depth. Several fertile tracts of the best land are however to be found in the inte rior a few miles from the town, which w hen brought Into cultivation w ill always ensure to the town constant supplies to its markets. The Bay abounds in fish of the greatest variety and choicest kinds. The town is al present to be connected with she Apalachicola river by Rail-road, run ning Irom the Bay through its principal streets, to Bayou Leland, an ann ol Lake W imico, about six miles distant. Gen. Searcy’s map of Florida lays down the po sition of Lake Wimico pretty correctly, but it does not notice (nor any other pub lished map that we have seen) the Bayou above mentioned. A contract has been made, for the completion under a heavy penalty, of this Rail-road by the Ist of December next, and we dewbt not the en terprrzing and rndelaiitrable contractor, John D. Gray, Esq., will have it furnished according to stipulation. The survey and' all the preliminary arrangements have been completed. The survey was made by Mr. L. W. Dubois, a civil engineer of superior skill and intelligence. Bayou Leland affords good navigation lor the largest steamboats, without the least diffi culty, and without improvements, up to ; the point where the Rail-road joins it. ! J he navigation for all craft, keel and flat boats, as well as steamboats, and for rafts, ' from up the river to this point, is in fact, superior to the navigation ot “Murder Point.” We have stated the Rail-road is intend- > ed to be temporary only. It is contempla-! ted during the next summer to cut a wide : and deep Canal parallel to its point, to end in a basin, on the North East side of the town, which will have two fronts, one upon the Basin and the other on the Bay connected by Rail roads, through the streets, as may be found expedient. The plan may be improved and changed, but such we learn is at present contemplated. If possible, the union of the fresh and salt [ water should be avoided We are satisfi-; cd such junction occurring at Apalaehi- 1 cola, is one ot the primary caases of its I mortality.—Experience has proved the places of such union are never exempt from fevers and similar diseases. This < anal is an important and necessary link m the great chain of internal navigation | from the St Mary’s or St. John’s river to New Orleans in conteajplation. Contracts have also been made for the i erection of wharves and ware-houses both at the Bayou and at the Bay, at the ex tremities of the rail-road, to be completed , this fall. 1 St. Joseph’s we are sanguine will become in a few years, second to no place on the Gulf of Mexico, except New Orleans. The country of which it must become the on.let, is already immense, and is increas ing in an unexampledmeasare,Seven years ago scarcely an hundred bales of cutton were shipped, and yet during the last sea son, nearly fifty thousand bales of cotton have been sent from Murder Point, either directly to Europe orcoastwise to Atlan tic ports, in the Northern, Middle, or Southern States, or to New Orleans. It is estimated also that merchandize amount ing in measurement to 400,000 barrels, were received at this place and sent into the interior during the last season. The merchandize received, and also the ex ports, it is anticipated, will increase from 1-4 to 1-3 annually for some years to come. The Apalachicola river, is the only prac ticable outlet for the produce of the South western pa it of Georgia, the South-eastern part ot Alabama, and Middle and West Florida, within fifty to seventy miles of [the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and i Flint Rivers andti.eir tributaries, compo sing a vast scope of fertile and valuable cotton and sugar lands, and one ol the fin est lumber regions in the Union. Vari ous projects have been devised to find oth er channels aud direct the trade to other places; lor instanc.*, a Rail road from Columbus to Pensacola, and one from Columbus to Macon, have been talked of, but they are generally regarded as the merest, wild, chimerical and visionary schemes that eowld be projected, and which it is i-nwpoes-ible to put into suc cessful operation, The idea of carrying sugar, salt, iron, bacon, pork, beef and lumber, several hundred miles in this [country on a rail-road, in competition ' with a goed steamboat navigation, is j really ridiculous and absurd.—Twelve large steamboats are now on the river, be sides keel, flat boats, barges, &c.. The ChatSahooche is navigated by steamboats, up to the populous and flourishing town of Columbus, Geo..—upwards of 300 miles from, its junction with the Flint: and the latter has been- navigated by steam t©- DanvllJle, about 250 miles from its mouth, and flat boats go up both rivers to a much greater distance. Within a short time past, the titles of the Cherokees, Creeks and Apalachicola Indians, to millions of acres of the most valuable quality of land contiguous to thtse rivers, have been ex tinguished, and the lands have come into the hands ofenterprising whites, who will soon bring much of it into a state of pro ductive cultivation. A commercial city of importance must, therefore, immediate ly grow up-near the outlel of the Apalachi cola. Nature has so imperatively destined, ' and her destinies cannot be thwarted. It j had been expected by many, that ‘‘Mur ; der Point," which has heretofore had - some four or five hundred inhabitants, i principally merchants—would be select ed, at the early settlement of the country before its survey, when little was known ofits geography or topography, before it could be certainly ascertained what was the most suitable, and at a period whin it was out of the question to think of such improvements as canal and rail roads to aid and bring into notice and use, the su perior and natural advantages of other po sitions; of necessity, this po.nt being under those circumstances and at that time the most eligible site then practicable to set tle, was pitched upon as the. temporary place of depot; temporary buildings- were erected, —and it became the principal point of trade. Influenced to continue here by the natural reluctance to change, which weal! have, for several years the residents have encountered many serious obstacles and labored under many great disadvan tages rather than break up and remove to another place.—Thousands of dollars have been expended by the United Stales and enterprising individuals, during that time, in endeavors to improve the naviga tion to the town, but without resulting in one cent’s benefit. All such efforts have proved fruitless and ineffectual. The ar tificial channel cut under the direction of Lieut. Long of the army, has within the lasi year almost entirely filled up, and vessels drawing over 7 feet cannot now approach within several miles of the town. The Bar at the mouth of the Bay, will not admit safely vessels drawing over ten feet water, and in consequence, the larger vessels have to come into the Eastern pass—and to employ lighters 25 miles dis tant from our wharves. The habor with an Easterly gale is greatly exposed and dangerous. We have not had during said time, and it is impracticable to get a safe, certain,and regular interior commu nication by land. Our mails have been miserably irregular and uncertain, and in deed. being transported from Fort Gads den (to which place they are brought on horse back) down the river in an Indian Piroque or canoe, have been an unsafe medium ofcommunication. We have of ten been weeks without any mail, and it never can be relied upon.— But Ike most seiious evil has been the dreadful malady which annually pervades this point du ring the summer season. The causes are fully explained ill another editorial ar ticle in this paper, and it is sho-wn they will be coexistent with the place,—are permanent, and cannot be eradicated or p eviaied. New Orleans, Key West, 1 ensacola, Havanua, Mantanzas* oi any place noted for unhealthfuLness that we e ne.;rd of, is n ut afflicted with half the se verity or fatality as this p o j nt d ur j ng . sfc|e season of sickness. Ihe “Point” is included within the boundaries of the great Spanish Claim of Forbes, recently decided in favor of the claimants, (Don Collin Mitchell & Co ) 'i’lie settlers failed last spring (through the childs-play and trifling of the Proprietors) to make satisfactory arrangements with uiem in regard to the purchase of the town, or of lots, and consequently, taking also into consideration the total iueligibili- ty of the place, most of the merchants, 1 steamboat owners,and masters, and others, with great unanimity inMay last, resolved to remove town, stores, houses, business, “bags and baggage,and all to St. Joseph’s. ’ In anticipation ofthe probabilty of such I event, an act of incorporation was obtain ed at the last session ofthe Legislature of the Territory, for the Canal, above mentioned, which was now put into use, ‘ and the company incorporated—fully or gan sed. Gentlemen ofthe most exten sive influence and undoubted means at Columbus, and elsewhere in Georgia; at Tallahassee, and elsewhere throughout Florida; and in Alabama, and in New Or leans, Charleston, New York and Boston i have joined with the settlers to further this great and beneficial work. It can readily be seen that under such auspices, and with its superior advanta ges, St. Joseph’s will, without any doubt, become the great Emporium of the Apa lachicola. It has easy and safe communication with the interior by land. A pleasant and good carriage road can be made to Mari anna, Jackson County, (through which place the great Northern and N. Orleans mail stage passes tri-weckly) over a lev el country, at a trifling expense. The length of such road will be short of sev enty miles, and it will intersect the great Federal St. Augustine and Pensacola Road cut by the late Maj. Daniel Elmer Burch, U, S. A. in 1835 r about 45 miles from St. Joseph’s.. The road recently laid out by Maj. MacNeil r U. S. Engineer, from Apalachicola to Marianna, passes within sight of St, Joseph’s Bay, and can be used at present. The town is nearly a degree South of Tallahassee, a little less south of Pensa cola and New Orleans, and some miles of St. Augus'.ioe— St. Joseph's will be the Souths rnmosl city of the U- Stales. This fact as well as the protection against frosts, afforded by the salt breezes from the Gulf r will enable figs, oranges and th© tropical fruits, &c. raised with difficulty in the vi cinity ofthe places above named, to be cul tivated aland around St: Joseph's without trouble or danger. Combined to all these advantages, and having the sine qua non of health, without which blessing all else is worthless, is it 100 much to predict, that instead of being deserted, tone, forsaken and desolate as Apalachicola wow is du ring the summer r St. Joseph’s in a short I time after it becomes improved, will be resorted to by the citizens of the surroun ding country —and strangers to enjoy its salubrious sea breezes, and the luxuries it will afford visitors. We say it must be healthy, unless every indica tion and evidence of health fails, for we defy any one to designate at this time a sin gle probable, local cause of disease near the town. Application will be made to the Terri torial Legislature this fall, to incorporate the. city and make it the county site of F rank I in. Application will also be made at the next session of Congress to make it the Port of Entry and Delivery for this dis trict,—and ive believe the Navy a-td Treasury Departments have already been or will be shoitly asked to have, an offi cial survey made of the entrance to the Bay and Harbour, all of which will doubt less be successful. Ju the mean time, we would inform 1 lumber merchants and others, at the i North, that seasoned lumber of all kinds, | especially whitepine boards—ready made window sashes, frames and doors—pre pared floodngauds weather boarding, man tie peices, cedar and cypress shingles and slate sou roofs, turned columns, granite land other stone window and door sills,and such like materkils will, we think, com mand forr prices, immediately, at St. Jo seph’s and during November and Decern ber next; and’wre are also of opinion tha several buildes‘anu carpenters will find employment there and’ good wages for the I winter. The Committee, appointed at a recent meeting of the citizens of Greenville Dis trict, for the purpose, and with instructions to survey and examine the Saluda Moun tains and the Blue Ridge, and Report on the practicability of the construction of a Rail Road across their respective summits, respectfully REPORT. That they proceeded immediately, on being informed of their appointment, to execute the task which had been assigned them—And it affords them infinite gratifi cation to be able tosay, that those difficul ties, which, on first sight and in the dis tance, appeared to be so alarming, and al most insurmountable, have, on a nearer approach and a more accurate examina tion, if not entirely disappeared, at least so far diminished, as to present no serious obstacle to the accomphishment of this I great and magnificent enterprise. Before entering into detail, your Com mittee respectfully suggests, that no con siderations of a personal or private nature, or of peculiar local interest, be allowed seriously to interfere with the execution of this noble work—but that every facili ty be extended, compatible with our own rights and duties, It is an undertaking of such immense magnitude, and of such vast importance io the South and the West, and in fact to the whole country, that no minor consid eration ofa private nature, or of sectional jealousy, should be permitted to interpose any obstacles, calculated to retard its pro gress, or to affeet injuriously its ultimate consummation. But if, in the construc tion of a Rail Road from the City of Charleston to Cincinnati, rs it be found im portant or necessary to adopt the nearest and most direct route from Charleston to the waters of the French Broad, then your Committee must be allowed to say, res pectfully, yet confidently, that in their opinion, no other route offers as many fa- i ciiities, and presents as few difficulties, as J the route which they have surveyed, from the head waters of the Saluda to those of She French Broad. As an evidence, and in corroboration ol the correctness of the position assumed by your Committee, let an attentive and accurate examination be made of the route designated on the Map accompanying this Report, of the heights ', and distances, and the elevation ol the ' waters of French Broad above the valley of the Saluda. The Committee commenced their stir vey at Green’s, a Gap ol the Blue Ridge, called Butts’ mountain, and about three miles east of Flat Rock, N. C. From | this Gap to the head waters of Mud Creek, j I which flows into the French Broad, the distance is only fourteen poles, and the descent six feet. Down Mud Creel, which is a very slugglish stream, to the French Broad river, no difficulty can pos sibly intervene; the declension is so grad ual as to be almost imperceptible. From the summit ot the Ridge at Green’s, the direction of the route proposed is nearly South, crossing Green River below the N. C. Turnpike road about one mile, at Baring’s Mills. Pursuing the original direction, with some slight variations, and J preserving the level by adhering to the curvatures ofthe ridge, we arrive at a field of J. Davis’ on the N. C. road, one mile North West ofthe Saluda Gap. From this point, (which is on that account above mentioned) two separate and distinct sur veys (as you will perceive by an examina tion of the Map) were made down the Salnda Mountain. The distance from Green’s, on the summit of the Blue Ridge to the field already designated N. W. of Davis’ on the road, is five miles, and the ascent 105 feet. From this latter place to the old Saluda Gap, the distance is one mile, and the elevation 24 feet—making the whole distance from the Blue Ridge Gap to the Old Saluda Gap, 6 milt s, and the entire elevation 129 feet. From the old Saluda Gap, to Poinsett’s spring, the distance is half a mile, and the descent 332 feet. The State road from the Spring to Rocky Mount, is now nearly level; and yowr Committee feel assured, that a plane can be got level, or so nearly so, as to of fer no serious objection to the plying of a Locomotive. From Rocky Mount to the valley of the Saluda, the descent has not been accurately ascertained; but a Station ary Engine will be necessary. On this route, therefore, it will require two Sta tionary Engines to accomplish the ascent. The Committee have heard suggested, the possibility of working the Engine sta tioned at Rocky Mount by water; but of the practicability thereof, they cannot confidently speak. There is a stream flowing down the mountain, contiguous to the Road, withan abundant supply of water. On the other route designated on rhe Map, the distance from Grein’s on the Blue Ridge, to Hightower’s on Hodges’ Gap, is 7 1-4 miles, and the elevation 276 feet. From the summit at Hodges’ Gap to the valley of Hightower’s Creek, (wa ters ofthe Saluda River) the distance is 1 1-4 m’les, and the descent is 924 feet. Os the two routes here proposed, the Com mittee incline (o regard that over the High tower Gap as preferable. The elevation or asi ent is too rapid and too great for the capacity of a Stationary Engine—but it is not at all impracticable to reduce it by | Excavating, and Tunnelling through one ’ fourth of a mile ofthe mountain, which is narrow; and which operation will also bring us nearly on a level with the Gap ofthe Blue Ridge. After we arrive at the valley of the Saluda, on the South side ofthe Mountain, no further serious I difficulty presents itself in the construction of the Road 1 .. The following i.r- the additional Report r called for by Mr. Thruslon's Resolution: Descending the Saluda valley, withan entirely impercep ; ible declivity, passing to the west of Paris’ Mountain, near the Village of Greenville, we enter wilh ease on an elevated and continuous ridge, that divides the waters of the Reedy from those ol the Enoree river. Pursuing this ridge, and keeping, with an occasional diversion, the general direction of the present Mail I Coach route to Columbia, we intersect the Laurens line, somewhere near the road. If, on the other hand, the direction to Hamburg should present greater in ducements, we will pass from the valley a little South West of Greenville Court House, from which place, we have a high, unbroken and uninterrupted ridge, which separates the waters ofthe Reedy from the Saluda, entirely through the District, to the Saluda river, at Neely’s Ferry. E. D. EARLE, W. T. ROWLAND. November 24, 1835. CoZ. A. Blanding.— We had the pleas ure of witnessing the arrival of this gen tleman in our village on Tuesday evening last, by the Mail Coach. We unde: stand that some of the gentlemen attached to our Rail Road Committee?, hadthesatL fation of interchanging their v.. ws with him, on the great subject which so gen erally engrosses public attention, and ex press much gratification at his liberal amd enlightened sentiments. Col. Blanding was on his way ?o> Nashville, and from thence to Frankfort, to meet she Legisla tures of Tennessee and- Kentucky, to me morialise those bodies, with a view of pro curing Charters for a Rail Road Compa ny, connecting Cincinnati and Charleston with a right, among other privileges car rying the road through those States.—He left Greenville on the morning after his arrival, so-F the West.— Greenville Moun taineer.

JANE CHURCHILL, Guardian- Nor 9 133 AUGUSTA, FRIDAY, DE€EM BE R . 1 . The political news by the Roscoe at N. York, having left Liverpool on ‘2sth Oct. has no inter est. We learn from a good authority (says the Boston Mercantile Journal of Thursday last,) that a letter has been lately received by a gen tleman in New York, from Gen. Bernard at Paris, stating that in his opinion, a war with France is inevitable. The king and his minis ters had taken umbrage at some sentimentsex- j j pressed by Mr. Livingston, in his speech at the I 'public dinner given him in New York; and Louis Pihllippe had also changed his views wilh regard to the policy of a war wilh a for eign power. He thought’ that such an event might strengthen his government. Houq.ua, the celebrated and immensely rich merchant, died at Canton on the 27th of May ■ The Canton Register says, “ he was universal , ly detested.” i We learn, says the Philadelphia Enquirer, Nov. 25, “that Col William Duane, formerly ' editor and publisher of the Aurora' newspaper, and, since the election of Gov. Wolf, Prothon-- j otary ofthe Supreme Court, diedin thdk eity ; yesterday morning, in the 76th year of his age. ; He was for a long period of his life one of the most active and influential politicians of Penn sylvania.

LEGISLATURE. The following billshave passed the House: A bill to authorize each county in this State to retain the general tax for the years 1835 and 1836, to be applied to county purposes. In the House, 29th instant,a bill concerning the Georgia Union Rail Road Company was taken up; after it was read, a substitute was of fered, providing banking privileges to the com pany. The substitute was ordered to be printed and made the order for to day. By this substi tute the company is authorized to establish a bank at Athens,and branches in other parts of the State. On motion of Mr. Gordon,of Chatham, a com mittee was appointed, lorepoit a bill to provide for the election of three Judges of the Court for the correction of errors, and carry into effect the bill for the amendment of the first section of the 3d article of the constitution. The commit tee consists of Messrs. Gordon, Clayton and Burney. In the Senate the following resolution, offer ed by Mr. McAllister, was agreed to: That the President of the Senate appoint! a committee, to join such committee as may be appointed on the part of the House, to prepare and! report a bill to create a court for the cor rection of errois,. as contemplated by the con stitution as amended 1 .- The committee to con sist of one from each judicial circuit. In the Senate, a bill was passed, with amend ments to incorporate the Iron Steam Boat Com pany of Augusta. Two propositions have been laid before the House: one to extend the charter of the Plan ters Bank of Savannah, and the other to com pensate the owners of slaves hung for crimes. FOR THE COURIER. Mr. Editor:— l was much pleased on reading the remarks of the Constitutionalist of Wed nesday morning last, while commenting upon that section of the city ordinances having ref erence to gambling—than which a more per nicious vice never cursed this fair eaith ; and which, at the present time, is, perhaps, more rife in our goodly city than at any former pe riod. Yes, sir, I might say, having some op portunities of knowing, that this place literally groans with the nightly—aye, and daily inflic tions of the enormities of those who, had they their just deserts, would be made to feel some little portion of the toiture which, victim after victim, has suffered at their perfidious hand's, more- to be abhorred than the hand of the assassin, wielding the midnight dagger,, stained with- human blood. Mr. Editor, my object in penning this article is to awaken, to arouse public attention with legard to this matter—to call into action Vhe public sentiment in suppressing this most ne farious practice—to excite the public vigilance, that men pursuing the basest of all possible vo cations, shall no longer be permitted' to riot, un molested, in our midst—to stimulate the good, the virtuous, the orderly and well-disposed itu arresting, by means of legal proceedings, the growing, wide-spreading, and th rice-iniquitous evil. Sir, our laws are sufficiently potent, though they may not be sufficiently rigorous, to extir pate the deadly sin and blasting curse of which we complain, were they at aft executed. They can, ought, and should be enforced to their ut most extent against that man, or set of men, who, alter ensnaring, entrapping,- stripping their oft-times unsuspecting prey, will laugh in his face.—Cursed monsters! Theic was never, sir, a more propitious time t .he present to commence the work of ex f. rgation. Let the axe be aimed at the root — let the blows fall thieir and heavy—let the ope ratives be most i. dustrious—let them cry aloud and spare not, and my word for it, the laws will stand forth in their majesty, abundantly mani festing their efficacy tn the cure of the foul dis order, which, gangrene like, pervades, with its putrescent qualities, our otherwise healthy body politic. Something should be done. And by whom can it be more appropriately done than by those who have their all at stake, in the city of their birth, or of their choice. Their pro perty is here—their children are growing up here —their honor, their welfare, their peace of mind, their happiness, are all measurably in volved in the good or evil name whieh may at tach to their city. I mean that those persons among us of high standing, possessing weight of character, uneit of influence—our principal citizens should take the affair into their hands, and see that the community in which they reside “ suffer no detriment.” When such persons, as these step forward and take measures to have the odious gambler, who robs with impunity, and insults with audacity, dragged from his hiding places to the bat of justice,—“ then, and not til! then,” will our moral atmosphere become puri-Sedof a species of demoralizing whose pestilential exhalations spread abroad more ruin than death, —for death, in my le gard, is far more preferable than shame, ruin, penury, and disgrace. X. Vr John EfoWard Payne, respectfully begs the citizens of Georgia, to suspend their opin ion for a few days,-upon the subject of a recent arrest within-the chartered limits of Tennessee by the Georgia Guard of Mr. Payne, in compa ny with Mr. Ross, principal chief ofthe Chero kee Nation. Mr. Payne, ol course; cannot iden tity the State of Georgia with this gross viola tion ot the Constitution-of the United States, of the rights of an American citioen, and of the known hospitality of the South to strangers.- But as he is conscious that every art that can be devised will be resorted to for trie purpose of endeavoring to cover such an act from public indignation—he thinks it due to justice to prom ise that a full and honest statement shall be sub* mitted,-the moment it can be prepared.
