Ala* ! that man should dare to tempt Jehovah’s chastening rod, By scorned aversion to the truth That nature hath a God ! For even the beasts, that daily graze Beneath the azure skies, Or drink from purling streams, look up To Him with thankful eyes ! The warbling songster, as he flits About from tree to tree, Ke-echoes the Almighty's praise In his wild melody. The little flower, whose thirsty hud For weeks hath lacked for rain, If but a sprinkling shower falls Its beauty smiles again. There are no skeptics here but thou, Poor creature of a span ; The summer's heat, the winter’s cold, Condemn thee, doubting man ! And shall the beasts,and birds, and flowers, Proclaim the Lord of all— And thou, the noblest of His works, Refuse thy Maker's call ? Oh, no ! discard the foolish thought That iseeps fhee from the truth ; A'rid sfrfve to gain Jehovah’s smile— The Guide and Guard of youth ! llis presence in thy soul will prove What thou hast oft denied, And whisper gently ifi thine car : For thee the Saviour died ! W. P. 11. British Requisitions in India. The English press is discussing, in con nection with the annexation of the l’unjaub the commercial value of that country. Ex tending between the 2Sth and 39th paral lels of north latitude, and between the 71st and 77th meridians of cast longitude, the country has a medium position correspon ding nearly with that of Northern Africa and the American states. With mountain ranges in the northern poition which reach an elevation of two or three miles, and with broad plains descending towards the south until they are scarcely above the level of the se3, all varieties of climate are obtainable, as well as every descrip tion of natural produce. The five rivers— the Indus, the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravee and the Sutlej—whence the terri tory derives its name [from the two Per sian words, pun}, five, aub, water,] afford a navigation of not less than 1960 miles, together with such facilities of irrigation as many be turned to account euen by the simplest methods. The products of the Punjaub, those of the northern portion, with Cadmere, and its harvests of saffron and its important manufactures of shawls, estinialed at £300,000 annually, together with the plains of Attock and Peshawur, which are covered with rich crops of rice, of wheat and of barley, are extremely varied. The mountains, moi cover, yield dings and dyes, and fruits, while their sides are covered with gigantic pines. There is also mineral wealth, although under Sikh rule, it has never been developed, lion, copper, lead salt, coal, nitre, plum bago, and even gold mines abound. The Central Punjaub is mostly a bushy jungle or a pastoral waste, and large herds of cat tle constitute its wealth. The plains in the vicinity of the Indus are not surpassed in fertility by any in the East. The chief products are wheat and other grain, indigo rice, sugar, opium, cotton, hemp, &c. Amongst animals deer atid camels are numerous. Buffaloes and sheep are also found in large herds and flocks. The flesh of cattle is, however,respected by the Sikhs who only use the milk of the cow and wool of the sheep, in addition to the skins or hides of either animals which form an article of export. In quiet times the com merce of the Putijaub has been extensive. It reached its highest point during the late years of the rules of Runjeet Singh, since when it has declined, owing to the nume rous robberies vexatious exactions, and the withdrawal of money to places of se- curity. The manufactures consist chiefly of silks, cotton, leather, arms, ami shawls —Next to Latliore, the chief manufactu ring towns are Umritsur, Mooltan, Shooja bad, and Leia. Most of their productions are remarkable for quality, and nothing hut misgovermnent could have kept the commerce of the country form rapidly augmenting. As regards population, no regular cen sus Tias ever been taken. It was compu ted by Burnes at 3,500,000, exclusive of theCashmerians and some other tribes, who might amount to 1,200,000 more. In 1544 the customs and excise duties of the Punjaub amounted to about £250,000 or to one thirteenth of the whole revenue of Runjeet Singh, which was estimated at £3,350,000. The chief portion of the re mainder of this revenue was collected by assessments on the produce of the land. Qcarrel between the Bonapartes. —The following circumstantial account of the quarrel, between Louis Napoleon and his cousin, is from a late Paris paper: “A considerable sensation has been cre ated in Paris, by a quarrel which took place two days ago, between the Presi dent of the Republic and his cousin, Na po’eon Bonaparte, the late Ambassador at Madrid. It is hardly necessary to state that the quarrel has arisen with respect to the dismissal of the latter from his office as Ambassador. It appears that Napole on, in the first place, called upon his sis ter, the Princess Demidoff, when his lan guage with respect to the President was so violent, that she intimated to him that she would dispense with his farther visits. He then proceeded to the Palace of the Elysee, and had an interview with the President. Avery violent scene took place respecting the letter written by the President, on the subject of Napoleon Bo naparte's speech to the deputation which waited on him at Bordeaux, in the course of which, and after a great deal of recrimi nation on both sides, Napoleon suddenly called the President a bastard, and told him that he was not only a kite’s egg put into an eagle's nest, but that the whole of the Bonaparte family knew him to be so. A scene followed which baffles descrip tion. The President flew to his sword, and declared that he would immediately fight the slanderer ; but the attendants in terfered, and the parties were separated. Still the President insisted that the stain on his honor should be wiped out by a du el, and appointed two friends to make ar rangements on bis side for the meeting.— In the meantime, however, a council of Ministers was called on the subject, and it was resolved that the duel should not be allowed. M. Odillon Barrot, and all the Minis'ers, declared that the President, as the first magistrate in the State, could not fight, and that such a thing could not be thought of. In this state the affair at pre sent remains, but it is unnecessary to say that the nff’air creates an immense sensa tion at Paris, and greatly complicates the position of all parties at the eve of the election.” Poor Ireland !—The Dublin cortes pondentof the New York Journal of Com merce, writing on the Ist of June, gives the following sad picture of Ireland : “Ireland now exhibits the spectacle of a people so exhausted by misguided ef forts, that she has no longer power to act for her own preservation ; so paralysed is she by failure in a hopeless cause, as to have no energy left to extricate herself from the slough into which she has plung ed ; so discouraged by disappointments in attempts to effect what was unattainable, that she has no heart left to strive for a practicable good. Her condition is pitia ble in the extreme, and at the same time so embarrassing as to baffle the calculation and confound the judgment of the most astute statesmen. After an eleemosynary support of four years continuance, she is manifestly in a far worse condition than when the calamity overtook her. All the efforts, public and private, that have been made for her relief, have proved unavail ing either in arresting the evil or in pla cing any portion of her people in a better condition. ‘The truth,’ says the Advo cate this week, ‘is too sad, too pressing. The people are dropping dead by the way side, or crawling into their famine and pestilence-stricken hovels, to die of star vation ; the prisons are filled with unfor tunate wretches, who have taken refuge, in legal crimes, from similar fates ; the poor houses throughout the land are glut ted, casting off - tlieir surplus by death on ly ; and twenty-two unions in Ireland are bankrupt. The contractors for food for many of them must stop the supply if ex traneous ready money aid be not given.’— ‘I cannot,’ said a gentleman from Clara to the writer, ‘go from my own house in any direction, without seeing some persons dead, or dying of hunger by the road side, or in the fields, and hundreds are contin ually to be seen in the same dreadful con dition.’ ‘I travelled,’ said another, ‘over part of Mayo, where two years ago, I saw not less than two hundred and fifty thous and pounds value in live stock; but on this last journey, I saw not a living ani mal, except a Curlieu and a Plover.’ ” Pacific Rail-boad. —A correspondent of the National Intelligencer, speaking of the contemplated railroad between the Atlantic and Pacific, says— An attentive examination of the map and the best and most reliable accounts of the country between the Mississippi and the Pacific indicates Memphis as the most favorable point for starting the proposed nad to the Pacific. Passing through the State of Arkansas to New Mexico, the course of thi rivers is such that very few of them would have to be crossed, and, keeping about the thirty-sixth degree of latitude to the Pacific, would give this route the advantage of a milder climate than a more northern route. The south ern position of the route here recommen ded would render it more convenient to ■ be approached at suitable points by tradeis from Mexico, who with their pack mules, would come with safety at any season of the year, and get their supplies of dry goods, light hardware, and other articles that vve could transport by means of a railroad. Such a road would give us speedy aceess to our valuable possessions on the Pacific, and cause the intermediate country on the line of the road to be occu pied by permanent settlers. I hope that public attention will be effectually direct ed to the work, and that sectional feelings and party tactics will not be permitted to operate against one of the most beneficial scbemc3 of the present century From the Savannah Republican. Communication hetnren \rn-Vork and New-Orleans. Messrs, Editors: It was my design in the communication which I addressed to you yesterday to show that the proper route for avoiding the navigation of the Cape of Florida and connecting New-Or leans and New-York, is by Railroad from Pensacola to Savannah, and ocean steam ships at respective ends of the line. The fact has been presented that this route i«, in straight lines, by the map of the United States, the shortest route. It is very plain that it will be the most expe ditious route, because near five hundred miles of the way will be by Railroad through a remarkably level country. In point of profitable investment, the Geor gia route must certainly surpass the Flor ida route, because it will go through the heart of the most fertile and virgin Cotton region in the United States—a region al ready well peopled and destined to sus tain a very large population. These re marks are applicable to routes made up of land and water carriage. We should not, however, shut our eyes to the fact, that in a short time, the Rail road of South and Norfh Carolina will be connected. Nor should we fail to consid er what will be the effect of that junction of Railroads on the communication be tween New-York and New-Orleans. If a straight line be drawn on the map, from New-York city to the city of Pensacola, it will be found to pass into Georgia, not far above Augusta—to run a very short distance Wcstwardly of Macon, and to pass out of the State very near to and a lit tle South of the city of Columbus. If the existing lines of Railroad be now recollec ted and considered, it is very certain that, whatever may be the plan of joining the North and South Carolina Railroads— whether by Wilmington, Manchester, &c., or by Raleigh or Charlotte, the city of Au gus'a will be on the line. The tendency to this has been seen by many for vears past ; the fact that the State of Georgia is to be entered by Railway from the North and East at Augusta, cannot be disputed. It must be admitted that the line of Rail way from New-York to Augusta, will be as short as the ocean line from New-York to Savannah, and consequently, to St. Ma rys, Georgia. As Railroad speed cannot be approached by steamship speed, it is manifest that the most expeditious plan of carrying the great mail of the U. Sta'es will be by Railroad through Augusta , if a Road is built from Augusta to the 80 mile station of the Central Railroad. The Government will not, four years hence, pay for the carriage of mails by sea be tween New-York and the South Atlantic coast. \\ herever the mail shall shall go, many, in fact the greater number of men on business will go. We should then look at Augusta as the starting point in Geor gia whence the mails and consequently much travel will go, to and fio, across the State. In this connection the intelligent reader will not fail to see the great impor tance to Augusta—Savannah and the Cen tral Road—to Macon and Southwestern Georgia, Southern Alabama and Western Florida, of a Railroad from the citv of Au gusta to the Central Railroad. This lat ter road built, and then the N.Orleans mail route must of necessity be brought through Macon and the Southwestern Railroad. The commanding position of the Slate of Georgia in the matter of internal commu nication of the Union ie now apparent to every one. We hold the key to the West; we have opened the door by the Western and Atlantic R®ad. We hold the kev to the Gulf of Mexico ; let us now but open that door also, and we will arrive at a point of prosperity, the equal of which but few of our sister States will ever see. Let me say a word for Savannah, and shew the great advantage she has over the City of Charleston. The latter city strain ed all her strength to get the trade of Geor gia, and ot the \\ est through Georgia.— She failed in her true policy of looking North instead of South. The great me tropolitan route, between the North and South, might, if Charleston had pursued her true course, have been through "Wil mington and Charleston and Savannah—a route through all the Southern sea-ports on the Atlantic line, instead of a line through the middle country. But now that great route approaches Charleston no nearer than Branchville, it cannot be made to approach Savannah nearer than the SO mile station of the Central Road. Both Savannah and Chaileston then are off the main Railroad route. But whilst it is seen that the great mail of the Union will so pass Augusta, it does not follow that the great mass of promis cuous travel will be by the same line. The combined line of steamships and Rail road by way of Pensacola and Savannah will be short of the mail line in point of speed, but it will far surpass it in comfort and ease of travel, and moreover it will prove the cheapest line between the two great points New-Orleans and New-York. Open the line from Macon to Pensacola, and the traveller from New York will reach New-Orleans in ninety-six hours, and the line itself will be supported and fairly compensated upon a through rate of $35 the passage. Savannah being so much to the South and West of Charles ton, and so much nearer New-Orleans, lias the advantage of the last named city. In a word, tbo opening of a Road from Augusta to the Central Road, and from Macon to Pensacola, will secure the City of Savannah against all rivalry whatever. The people of Savannah have looked at this state of things—they have invested some $400,000 in the Southwestern Rail road ; that line will go on. They have striven to obtain the Road from Augusta to the Central, and every sign is now pro- I pition for this crowning work. C. From the Charleston Mercury. Strain Navigation with Enropr. Mr. Editor : We were pleased to see the notice taken in your paper of the pros pects and importance of a direct communi cation by steam between Charleston and Liverpool. This subject was discussed many years since, as tar back as 1839, in the columns of the Mercury by the writer of this article ; and the midle passage, by the middle and calm latitudes of the Wes tern Isles and Bermuda, pressed oh the public consideration. Whether the pro ject was then considered premature, (al though many years succeeding that in which our most sagacious statesmen were urging the importance of a direct trade be tween Charleston and Europe,) or the want of enterprise and means interposed obstacles to its execution, it is certain no action was taken on the subject. It is greatly to be regretted, that at asubsequent period, the capital which was placed in our New York steamers had not been fiirst applied to steamers to Liverpool. The Southerner and Northerner only ren der us more tributary to New Yory, or an indirect trade with Europe which has to pay i:s tribute. The effects of that enter prise is evinced in the efforts since made in Philadelphia and Baltimore to perfect their communications by steam with Charleston, and to retain a trade which was passing from them, and which they fore saw they would lose if the communications with New York were preserved with so much certainty and frequency as the Nor therner and Southerner had rendered it Charlestown may expect therefore to be a mere ferry landing, and her citizens con tinue to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for the Northern cities, of larger capital and greater enterprise, if they do not awaken to their true interests, and per fect the communications by steam direct with England. She is the manufacturer and the great consumer of nearly one half of the Cotton crop. The returns, appre ciated in value, by their ingenuity and manipulations, should find a market in the ports from whence the original produc tion was exported. It is the true policy of lhe South as producers ; it is true policy of the country which manufactures ; it is the reciprocation, as least cost, and of course greatest profit to each, to have no intermediate agent In tax, while tlTey % vend vvhat-they have bad no instrumentality in producing. Our internal and our exter nal communications are intimately connec ted. As we extend the former, and en large our trade with hitherto inaccessible but productive regions, so must we im prove our relations and connections with those countries which consume our pro ductions, and re construct them into other articles of commerce and additional value. Charleston can alone attain that position in the commercial world which her position gives claim to by this policy. We should aid and encourage with all our means this great project. Frequency and freedom of intercourse with Great Britain by the agency of steam, and cheapness of trans portation of the raw material, where, by great capital and cheap labor, it can be most advantageously manufactured, will make Charleston all that the most sanguine have anticipated. The Western market for the purchase of manufactured goods should be here —in Hayne, King, and Meeting streets —near to our Railroad Depots, and not in New York, Philadel phia or Baltimore. Our Railroads give us ready access to the interior. We are by them nearer and more certain of con veyance to the greater part of the South west than any Atlantic port; and if the goods which Suit the Western market could be purchased here on the same terms few of the Western merchants would go beyond. But direct trade and steam nav igation with Europe would enable us to sell cheaper ; we could offer greater in ducements to Western travellers, who daily pass through us, at additional ex pense to themselves, by the Wilmington and Northern Steamers, to halt and trade with us. To accomplish this, however, we must perfect the first object. We must render our intercourse with Europe frequent, certain and expeditious, and which steam alone can effect. That these views are now beginning to awaken atten tion, that after a Rip Van Winkle nap of some ten or twelve years tn the sleepy hol low of hope, we are beginning again to turn our eyes towards a direct trade with Europe, is truly gratifying. That others have been directed to the same object, and even a Company in England have made overtures in favor of the enterprise, is the more encouraging ; and if we fail to meet them, Charleston is content to remain the mere ferry landing of our more Northern and more enterprising cities. STEAM. East Tennessee and Georgia Rail road. —We are gratified to learn from a reliable source, that the whole of the work (with the exception of three miles) be tween this place and Red Clay, has been let to responsible and energetic contractors nearly all of whom have commenced oper ation. Those who have not, arc only de tained from the work gathering up hands and tools. It is estimated that about two hundred hands will be engaged on the work in course of ten or twelve days. Mr. Pritchard, the Enginer in charge, seems to be an intelligent, energetic, and work ing man—wholly intent on building rhe road. It may not be amiss to remark (and we have it from good authority,) that all ser vioes rendered, and work done on the road, is paid for in good Tennesssee mo ney. Gen. Green is absent on the line some wheie in Tennessee, but we understand will pe hereinafew days.—[Dalton Eagle. From ehe Federal Union. Georgia Institute for tile Deaf and Dumb. It was our good fortune to have been present at the closing exercises of the late Examination of this interesting but infant institution. For many yaars, it will be remembered by our readers, that annual appropriations | were made by the State, for the education I of her indigent deaf and dumb at the insti j tution at Hartford, Connecticut. The last j Commissioner who had the control of this jjust but generous munificence, the Rev. j J. H. Campbell, in hunting up the individ uals entitled to it, ascerlained the number to be considerable. This consideration, in connection with the fact, that their pa rents and friends almost uniformly object ed to their removal from the State, led to an entire change in the mode of tlieir ed ucation. The Legislature of 1547 organized a board of commissioners, who were appoin ted by the Governor, and to whom was committed the w hole subject. They were authorised to establish a school at Cave Spring, in Floyd county, to collect as ma ny of the indigent as could be accommo dated, and to erect there appropriate buildings. To defray the expenses of the school an annual appropriation was made of $4,500, and to cover the expense of the building, a specific appropriation of $3,- 500, with any unexpended balance of the annual appropriations. With this fund the commissioners have just completed a substantial, beautiful and appropriate two story brick edifice, 70 by 40 feet. In the centre above and below, is a broad pas sage ; one end arranged for the accommo dation of the male and the Other for the female pupils. In the expenditure of the funds employ ed in the building, it may be safely affirm ed, that here is one instance at least, where the State has been fairly dealt by. They have been employed judiciously and eco nomically. The enterprise is one honor able to the Slate, and the building one up on which her citizens can look with pride and pleasure. Since the opening of the school, the ac commodations have been limited, and the number of pupils necessarily small. The number has at no time exceeded twenty. 1 lie Principal, Mr. O. P. Fanning, is ad mirable adapted to bis vocation. He is a proficient in his duties, and his whole soul is engaged in building up and extending the usefulness of this noble charity. He is assisted by Mr. Edwards, himself a mute, and if we mistake not, a beneficia ry of the State. The examination was at tended by a large crowd of interested vis itors, all of whom concurred in admiration of the proficiency of the pupils and the fi delity and ability of the instructors. At the close of the examination, an eloquent address was delivered by Judge Wright, and on the day following, the Sabbath, re ligious services appropriate to the dedica tion of the building to its high and noble purposes, were performed by the Rev. N. Greene Foster, of Augusta. i o some it may appear strange, that the institution should have been located in one corner of the State. The design of this was, that it might derive patronage from the two contiguous States, Alabama and Tenuessee. This expectation has already in part been realized, and now that ac commodations are prepared, it is anticipa ted that the next term will commence with double the number of its former pupils.— The location is retired, salubrious, sur rounded by a community distinguished for its morality, and where the expenses for board are remarkably low. We cannot close this notice of an insti tution in whose prosperity every friend of humanity must feel an interest, and every Georgian a laudable pride, without ma king two suggestions. One is, that every unfortunate mute in the State should be hunted up and sent to this institution. To this end we respectfully solicit in its be half, the co-operation of the entire press of the State. The other suggestion that we would make is, that the limited means at the disposal of the commissioners, have not enabled them to complete the designs they have commenced. A small additional ap propriation is needed to erect out-build ings, to enclose the grounds with fences, to decorate them with trees and shrubs, &c. Such an appropriation, we are sat isfied, will not be withheld by the next legislature. Nashville and Chattanooga Rail road. —TheChattAnoogaGazett of the 6th inst. says : “The Engineers on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad have moved tlieir camps Jo the line on this side of the river, and are now engaged in surveying and definitely locating the road from the river up to this place. We understand that the worn is progressing reasonably well on the road beyond the mountain and on the tunnel.” The same paper remarks of the Geor gia Railroad : “We had the. pleasure of an interview with Colonel Mitchell, Chief Eegineer of the State Road, one day last week, and he authorized us to say that the work on the road was progressing as rapidly as possible, and that it was the calculation to have the cars running into Chattanooga early in October.” There is a peculiar tendency in hu man nature to consider anything belong ing to, or emanating from self, superior to every other object, no matter from what source ic may be derived. The buzzard can always detect features of charming beauty and surpassing excellence in its own young. MACON, G A . SATURDAY MORNING, JULY' 14, 1849.
