It bus always appeared to us, that the Wisest, end most importunt step ever tuken by the-legis lature of Georgin, is Uie construction ofUiefVest* eru and Atlantic Rail Road. The determination to construct this Road, was the result of the far reaching draught and'expauded views of many of the first citizens of this State. No instance'can he pointed at in any State of this Uuion.'where, such prodigious results are destined to follow so small an expenditure. Georgia has done herself immortal -liouour by Uie adoption ‘of her present system, which is eminently a prudent and cautions one. She is Uie key-stone ofthe South, emphatically-: and nt an expense totally un important, she has taken the very steps to render herself indepondentofher neighbors, nmJ to keep within her ■own borders U.ose productions which would otherwise have gone to enrich adjoining States. The idea of delaying the exeention of this great work, is one so absurd and stupid, that we cannot nllow ourselves "to entertain*: for a moment. There nre no earUiiy cuiisiderdtious whiclrcan lie adduced, which \v04ld justify any delay, other than what njnst attention to the proper construction of the Road would justify, A verbal contract for such amount of tar u* may be required to complete the above, has heun mad , to he delivered as wanted, and uii terms according with the lowest price yet paid for so Tar 011 Uus work. • All'of Uie repairing parties hnve been d‘w* ALABAMA.

Before making a decision to adopt Uie Ky- anizitig process with the timber for onr super, structure, it would be advisable to investigate the claims of Dr. Earle's system of preserving wood, The short time dial 1ms elapsed since his discovery ofthe process, has not afforded a fair experience concerning it—Experiments ure now in progress, under the direction ofthe General Government, fortesting itseliicacy, by exposing timber thus prepared, to artificial causes of decay. The cheapness of the materials used theaulphntcs of iron and copper, (the common green and blue vitro! of commerce,) lends us to anticipate that it will he a cheaper mode of prerening wood, Uian Mr Kynn’s process, in which corrosive sub limate, ncostly urticle, is employed.

The extreme composure as well as gratification i.h which the Whigs of tho United Slates re ceive the news of their victory, the absence of oil public parade* and extravagant rejoicings, nre so many convincing proofs of their proper Ameri can feeling. It is aud ought to be evident to all thata pariy which tempers victory with so much moderation, is worthy of the confidence of Uie whole country. The causes for pablic rejoicings, processions and feslivuls are abundant, hut we have seen nothing more tlmu sober, republican manifestation* of the most unniingled joy and sntiHfaction. Far different was it four, eight and twelve years ago, when ou the election of Jack- son and Van Boren, the Umnder of artillery was henrd from the lakes to the ocean. The joy felt by true Americans resides in tho heart, and the great Whig victory just achieved has been cele brated by the friends of liberty by a proper and unpretending interchange of heartfelt congratu lations. Pending an election, processions and the firing of guns may he excused, but in an hour like the present the causes of rejoicing are of too momentous and important a character to admit of mirth and exhilaration.

Wn hnve inspected the aui'Oiildering ruins of Uie alarming conflagration which occurred nt Georgetown on Wednesday night, and conver sed with several intelligent gentlemen of Uiat city, relative to the cause of aud extent of da mage occassioned by the fire. The more pre valent opinion seems to ho that Uie total ainouut of property destroyed by tho fire, damage done to furniture, &c. is from $15,000 to $25,000. That the fire was the act of an incendiary, seems also to be tlie geueral opinion; although some persons residing iu the vicinity of the Aqueduct incline to Uie belief thut fire was carelessly, if* not accidentally, communicated to tho stable, where the cooling ration originated. Wo un derstand that the bakery of Messrs. Titos. Brown & Co., now utmost entirely consumed, was in sured by tho Firemen's insurance Company. Most ofthe valunble machinery used in Uiejinun- ufiiciuro of ship bread is destroyed or rendered useless. It is calculated thnt ubobt forty barrels offlour and bread were destroyed in the bakery. Fortunately, u large quantity bf ship biscuits e?;d bread, furnished to the orilur of Government un der rt contract, hud heen removed from the hake- ry,and Shipped outlie morning ofUie dreadful disaster; otherwise Uio loss would have been much greuter. In the progress ofthe conflagration, the shing led roof of the house situated on the north side of tho cuuul, belonging to F..S. Key,. .Esq- and tenanted by Mr. Gideon 1 Pierce, several times caught fire, and wus repenledly extinguished by the fire engines und upparatus, which were work ed with great skill und ell'ect by Uieir respective comuuiiies.' In removing Mr. Pierco’s furniture much daiuugu was, wu regret to stole, in some instances unnecessarily occasioned. Tho new nud extensive brick mill, lately erec ted hy Mr. Tims. J. Duvis iu water Htreet,uboul u square distant from the bukery, repeatedly caught fire bu its roof, aud was promptly und eflectually extinguished by the fire companies, who took an uduiirahle position all along Water street, where Utuy could work to most udvuuingo. Some other ware-houses and dwellings situated dt a still greater distance from Uie cOnflugralibii also took fire, and were happily rescued froin Uiede- vouriug element by thu tunoly exertions of tho firemen. ■It was a most fortunate circumstance that at the timoofthis dreadful mid alarming conflagra tion, which illuminated the atmosphere, and re flected u vivid nud beautiful light oil the opposite shore of the Potoinuo tor a cunsiuerable distance, Uie wind v/ns almost perfeetly nt rest; otherwise, the destruction to warehouses, buildings, and pro perty of every description would huve been im mense. ltwascertaitily much to the credit ofall our fire companies,bbth of Georgetown und Washington, that they turned out with remarkable prMApti tilde, mid iu great strength, to render adsrstuuce.
