Nearly four years have elapsed, since the Gov*

proof of its practicub tUty, and that the expendt-'
tore requisite for its nceomtilishinent, wus ccr*
taiuly within the compass or those menus which
Ute Suite might readily command.
.. -, As the last annual report «>t’the Cotamiraiotwra,
gave to the General Asstnhly, a detailed account
ofthe principal transactions of the Board, finnu*
- clal uud operative, fiom tho commencement of
the work to the month of October, 1833, untiring
more seems now to be required, than n continu

tenuiiiusoa.thoTeiine.-uce River, is n fraction
above one Imodred uud thirty-eight miles. Of
this, the grading, masonry anikbridging, oil about
oiie hundred miles, were pot under contract du
ring tho year ,J838. This great Southern divi
sion of the road, traversing a utnuxiaiuntis coun
try, comprised tlio heaviest ami most expensive
t , part'd the work. Some ofthe sections, on which
arelfmind the deepest cuts, and highest embank*
. moots, by mwon of die great omount of labor re-
- quirad to cffcct-li:*: requisite grade, and the ina
bility of the Gommissioiiers to make punctual
payments to contractors, still remain unfinished.
They ere. however, all- in progress, and will
doubtless be ready to receive the superstructure
. early in next year.
V In tho mouth of December last, the Board of
CotumiMinuRTs hnvyig directed the usual publi
cation of uniicc, proceeded to let tu the lowest re-
Sponsible.bidden, the grading and masonry ne

everywhere, ut that time being unfavorable to the
sale of scrip, or 8tale bonds, the Comm issioners
reserved to themselves die right of paying for die
work dieti put under contract, either is cash or
Stale bunds. They have not yet heen able tu
convert those bonds into cash at satisfactory pri
ces, and consequently, have made payments ill
them.
In their last annual report, the Commission rs
informed die Legislature Unit they had full cou*
tideuce in the estimates of the Chief Engineer,
which gave the sum of $559|OO0—us ompiy suffi
cient to out er die cost of the utilise .road forma-
lien, including grades, masonry, and bridges, on
tins Northern division of thirty-eight miles. We
ho*Q now die satisfaction to state, from duia fur
nished by vhe progress which the w ork bas alrea-
t rnade, dial its actual cost to dm State, will lull
rt iof this estimate by fifty or one hundred
thousand dollars—a result, which will doubtless
surprise those, who, twelve mmth* ago asserted
and especially those who bduccd dial it w oultl
much exceed o million.
' Tins unusually heavy and frequent falls of rain
this year, have occasioned soum damage tu the
embankments, and in a few instances, to the cul
verts that have been’ erected across brooks and
■mailer streams—uldiough none to our bridges.
Considering, however, die great length uud
height ofthe eiuhauikuieuU, Ui« open and loose
texture of die dry clay, of which they had
been so recently formed, und dm extraordinary
iloods thfit have so frequenily occured iu that pui t
of Uie Stale, it is, indeed. limiter of surprise, that
the workhaspufferedso little. These damages have
been repaired at a moderate expense, und the
ftate and condition ofthe road is now at every
E liot, such as to satisfy the public expectation.—
very unfinished section is iu Uni hands of a con
tractor. and uo duubts are entertained that the
whole will be completed by, or before the time,
it may be deemed advisable to luy down the rails.
Its progress has indeed been retarded by the great
prevalence of bilious lever among die hands,uud
the same cause bus deprived us at times, of die
, services of some members ofthe Engineer Corps.
Ill view of dp> damages dial lave beeu caused
by the heavy cairn uf Uve past aenson, we would
respectfully usk the attention of die Legislature
to a class of tho cases, that, it is believed, require
special provision. Itabems that the niitiuisbud
work ova few contractors (poot men, Uly able to
bear the loss), lias been to some extent destroyed
by die iutiiidaiion of neighboring streams, be
fore die embark me n ts were raised high enough
to be secure, and before they were inspected and
reviewed by the officer* of dm'Board. We do
not find any provision of existing law. audwriz-
iug us to allow to dm suffering party, compensa
tion for ancii damages.
The several appropriation* heretofore made
for the survey, location, and construction of dm
"Western and Adamic Rail Rond," consist of
the following items, viz: fciix hundred and forty
thousand dofiars. by acts of f8J(i and 1837—five
hundred diousaud dollar*, which the Commis
sioner* were authorised by dm act of 1kJ7, to
raise.ljiy die sale of scrip, or certificates of Slate
debt,—one million five hundred* thousand dol
lar*, which die Comiuuuuoiier* were aiidiurised
by an act of 1838. to raise by Ijko means. The

FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30, 1810.

t.ou of $39,327 07 cents, recently advanced to
the Coinniissioiiers hy tho Central Bank, under
the provisou* of nn act passed ill. December,
1838, constitute the sum of the means, widt
which the expenditures incident to die prosecu
tion of diis public work have been met. The
accompanying document, marked (A,) present*
u consolidated account current between the
Coniinissioners and the Stato of Georgia,—the
detailed accounts exhibiting die moudily settle-
meiits, with formal vouchers fur every item of
disbursement, having been filed in the appro
priate Leparliucut.
In looking to the fiitnie progress of die work,
with the superintendence of which, they have
been charged, die Coiiiinksiomr* respectfully
represent, that, as there is a large unexpended
balance of appropriated Stute bonds, which aie

Georgia Rail Rond and Banking Company. »nd
to die Central Bank for recent advances, auioiyt-
ing iu die aggregate to about $200,(XX), must be
laid in current money; and should our bonds not
leeouie available, tins sum should be provided
for widiout delay*
For the purchase of iron rail* in England—
of locomotive engines, car wlu.tls.axles, and their
appurtenances, mid to cover tho expense of their
transportation from die plaou of manufacture tu
the rail toad, die tt*e*of money will he indispen
sable. As the prices of Aich articled; like every
thing else, are liable to finctiiaie, with the rela
tive, proportion between demand mid. supply,
any estimate of them which could now be maue,
would he little better than conjectural approxmm-
lion. One million uf dollars ill. addition to die
means now applicable, especially should the
market value of Stute bonds be improved, it m
believed will hu amply sufticieiitio put (lie whole
work into operation, throughout die entire road.
We tiwrefore respectfully recommend die appro
priation of diis sum.
U does uot admit of question dint the most
sure, speedy, nud economical mutiiod of raising
diese hinds, is tho judicious employment of the
State's credit—iu odier words by die sale of
such bonds os have herefore been used—their
value being sustained by such pledges of re
venue or public pioperty. as will put die punctual
payment of interest uud principal beyond the
probability oflitilure <or doubt. For this pur
pose nothing like onerous Lixatioti can be neces
sary ; but to some extern it hiuMhe useful, or all
hope* of disposing of ritate bonds almuduned.
The commissioners have given no ordci* lor
the purchase of rails, though they have been con
stantly advised by their catrespeudeuU in Eu-
lop* of the stale ofthe English market. Rails of
die model vve prefer, have been offered to its at
£10 |0s. stcriiiig per toil, delivered at thd port of
(JardtiV or Newport, in Wales, on u credit of
eighteeu mouths, punctual nay ment secured by
I'm pledge of Rtatii bonds. tV e however decline
lo close u contract ou these term*, because diere
would be a manifest inditcretiou in putting such
bonds iu pledge, without having a previous as
surance that dm means of redemption would be
seusouulily mJiaiid.to prevent dieir sacrifice inn
dull market,und because the rails will uot be ueod-
ed till one or more of the brauch rail toads, in-
tended to connect the Slate works with the East
ern and Sontlieri! market* of Georgia, shall have
been nearly or quite finished. Toward the end
of the ensuing yeur, it is hut reasonable to ex-
peel that one or hodi die branches now in o
course r.f construction, will he ready for the trails,
portion of merchandize; nud as soon, thereafter,
us practicable, we deem it udvisuble to complete
the superstructure ofthe Western and Atlantic
Roil Uoud. To this end, our rail* ought to be
purchased as early as the moudi of July nc v .

GOV. MCDONALD’S MESSAGE.
We have alluded already to this Stale paper*
hut i.ot in Units of respect or cditimendation.—
Portions of the Governor’s messnge can be de*
lutihed from the rest of it, which should he spok
en off in terms of exaltation. Such for example,
are his recommendatiiOis relative totiie Western
and Atlantic Rail Road. The Governor unques
tionably in this particular item of State policy is
sornid. His proposition to go forward aud com
plete a single track of Uie road to answer present
purposes is recommended by every principle of
economy aud sound policy—and other portions
of the message too are vvliat they onght to be.—
But it 4* the nature of democratic messages of tlio
present era. that while they contain something of
good, they ere rerioletfl nfinucli that is lietorodnx
and absurd. .It is obviously live misfortune of
Gov. McDoxami that lie has (alien upon these
peculiar times, when the ferocity of llie so called
democratic party calls upon all its employees to
subdue their belter judgment,and modify their po
litical whim*, so as to square with narrow and
oblique olid vague party theories. It is undeni
ably a striking characteristic of the prciient times*
that ** plain, roundabout common sense,” sterling
integrity and political honesty are not in rogue,
and it is unfortunate for u tnnn wlmhas a good
In-art, to ally hiuiself to a party of which llm pre*
dominant rtileofnctioti is devotion to that party.
There are few of our renders who know Uie
mentis and opplinuces by which the Vint Buren
fordcs in Congress have been so nicely drilled
and disciplined, as lo display the remarkable
phenomenon nf n battalion animated by one
mind, operated upon by the same appeals and
moved by Uie same irnttive*. Time will deve-
lope (lie fact, that the fubled Bed of Procrustes
has found a perfect realization in the modern
political system which expands, contracts, length
en*, or cuts off tbo fair proportions which kind
nature and a tolerable education have given to
American citir.ens in order that they may he ad
justed to n certain mode of belief. Time will de
ve lope the fact, that the rigid, exacting education
of Spartan yontha was leniency itself compared to
the severity of tim modem ways nnd mean*, by
which the promptings of nature and Uie sugges
tions of prudence and honesty are cheeked in the
breast* of many ol Mr. Vast Burks’s adherent*.
One would suppose that ever and nnon, some
wavering and shuffling might be discovered in
Uie Congressional ranks. But no! This per
fect unanimity which lends to their action the ap
pearance of patriotic emotion is only on the stir,
fuce, and Uiey act together because if any mem
ber of Uie party should venture to leave the ranks
they would immediately be denounced from one
end of tlin country to Uio oilier.
There are ninny individuals iu all communities
who have deceived themselves into the belief,
that during the past twelve years, the parti/ Mid
the country, have been synonomous terms. Self*
delusion is ou every-day quality, and wheu it op*
eralesso far as to cause its devotees to forget Uie
distinction betweeti right and wrong—between
devotion to conntry and devotion to a set of ar*
hitrary principles adopted by a party, we can
pardon the error into which Uiey have falleiq
und even sympathise with the subjects ofa way*
word und cupricious funcy. But diese eccentri
cities become a matter of serious moment, when
they are indulged in by Uie Executive ofa State,
who, from his position, may he presumed to
knew tho merits of most political questions which
come up for discussion, uud who is appointed,
not in order to consult the behevts of party, but
Uiu intercsUof the whole State.
Iu times past, the message ofa Presidentof
Uio U. States, or ofthe Governor of any particular
State, conveyed a faithful picture of Uie state of
Uie times, and of Uie condition of the country.

the Stato of Pennsylvania were either one und
the same Institution,or nt least that Uiey had ii lie*
cessnry and indispensable connexion. We should
refer to this as decidedly the most objectionable
part of Uio message. It limy ha (hut we do Uie
Governor injustice, Umt we have not construed
his meaning aright. If so, we shall he ready to
correct our error if it he pointed out,blit Uio con
viction is a sincere ono ou our mind at present,
thnt Gov. MoDoxALn intended to convey to tho
people of Georgia the idea that the old Bank of
the United States nnd a State Institution of Penn
sylvania culled Uie U. States Bank of Pennsylva
nia. arwnne nnd'lhe same thing, and certain it is
that he throws upon tho former a great portion of
Ihnt censure which is justly due to Uie latter In
stitution. Wo refer to this subject not in n fault
finding mood, hut wiUi regret, Uml : ti Siam paper
emanating from « gentleman so respectable as
Gov. McDosald, should be so framed as to con
ceal important facts, mislead the judgment and
directiUielpuhlic attention to the wrong issue.
We think the iRBSingo very incomplete in nin
ny respects. Tho reader will refer to it ill >aiu
for any statistics relative to the productions of
Uie State. Instead of an open and honest con
demnation of the Central Bank, on insUlutiou
which under injudicious acts ofthe Legislature,
hits squandered away the millions of public mo
nies on which it commenced itv banking opera
tion*, and thrown suspicion on Uie credit of our
Slate, which till very recently wus above all re
proach ; he lias ‘commended it for the supposed
assistance it has rendered to money borrowers,
many of whom were ruined land speculators.—*
Thnt the loaning of money to the sererul'conntic*
has had an extremely vicious operation both up*
ou tl-..- fortunes and morals of the public, uo nue
will doubt. But yet, Uie Central Bank is lauded
for aggravating evils alleged to have been inflict
ed on the'Country by excessive issues’of Bank
paper.

It is said \l)at titer® are at titia time, probably
3,000,000 ner<* sf Lottery lands which have re

very much. A judicious saleof Ufeso lands would
be apparently a rure ‘means ‘ofrestorhig the fi

. KEY WEST, Nov. 10.
A brig landed here u lew days ago, u number
of passengers taken from the ship Norwuy,
wrecked on Key.dul Bank or Dog Key*, on her
passage from Havre for New-Orleuns; she hud
about 100 tons of cargo, all of which must be
damaged, os the ship had bilged, when the pas
sengers left her? end no assistance was in sight.
Four of our wreckers left this as soon us the
nows was known; but will not ho able to do uny
thing if the English wreckers get there, as it is on
the English sii® Ofthe gulf stream. We look
for our wreckers momeiitly; they have been
gone four days. I am iulbrmed that the Nor
way was a fine new ship, und belonged to Bos
ton. She was out thirty days from Havre when
lost.
We learn from® gentleman in this city, that
the Noncay was sold to Capt, Daniel Juckson,
(formerly of ship Cvrea and barque Hazard) nnd
other* ol providence, (R. I.). Cor $42,000 cash,
about thirty davs since. Capt. J. is well known
here, liavlug sailed ou t of this port for many
years.
From the Richmond Whig.
Gentlemen—I perceive that the Governor nnd
Council of Ndw Jersey hpvo set npartadny for
thanksgiving aud prayer.a bowing dowlt of tlin
heart before the omnipotent Throtra of Provi
dence, of thankfulness for the deliverauce nf this
great coutitry from the yoke of him who has op-
irensediuid trampled upon lira people and their
»i»ritm'mn»,‘and lor tho gift of him whose every
atition hud been fnr his country's gobd—every
thought for his country’s Welfare. Would it not
lie well to set upnrt some duy for such a purpose
throughout this Stato? Truly, her children nave
cause.to thank the Lord. B
School Rooms,—The Charleston Courier has
the following extract* from n latter of Dr. Smu'l,
B. Woodward, Superintendent of tin) State Lu
natic Hospital,lit Worcester, Mass, to (be Secre-
tury of tho Board of Education, of said State, iu
reply to some queries respecting the construction
of Scliobl Room*.
“ First, as to (lie ill effects of highand narrow
benches; nnd seats without backs.
High and narrow sent* are not only extremely
uncomfortable for tlio young scholar, tending
constantly to mnko him restless and noisy, dis
turbing his temper and preventing bis attention
lo Ins books, but they also have a direct teudency
to produce deformity of the limbs. If the seat is
too high tlio feet cdtlhbt reach the floor? the con
sequence is, thnt the limb* are suspended ottthe
centre ofthe thigh. Now, as the limbs bf child-
reu nre pliable or floxible, they ere easily made
to grow out of shape, aud become crooked by
such an awkward nud ufmutiirul. position.
Seata without backs huVeml equally unfavor
able influence upon the spinal column. If no rest
is uflorded flip backs of children while seated,
they necessarily assume a bent ami oiooked posi
tion; Such a position often assumed, or long con
tinued, tends to that deformity,which has become
extremely common with children or modern
tone*, and leads to diseases of tho spine in innu
merable instances.
THE DYING HOUR.
If lira experience hf the dying Hdhi; c5uld be
faithfully written, tlra thought* that then All the
brain, like the Just inhabitants ofa crumbling tem
ple, and die feelings that (Iran occupy lira cliillod
lieart, Ira revealed to the eye of souse, what a
view would be displayed l The period of disso
lution brings with it emotions ofn peculiar char
acter. There are at that time operations through
which the soul never before pussed. Nothing
appears in it) old itapect Like a splendid ball
wliich bus been hung ill new drapery, each ob
ject wears a different dress. Opinion*, dial lira
strongest force of argument could 4/ot repel to
withdraw from the mind, then hastily depart;
prejudices thut rooted themselves more and more
deeply at every utluck, then bend before the blnst;
cherished feelings, that the bnosom had ever clung
to, then arc hated, and desires that hud eVer found
u home beside uffection’s altar, then are banish
ed. Whut fearful eliuugu is this, that than befall-
clh thu spirit? Are the tucultiea then do weaken
ed as to prevent it fram tlmiking & feeling uright ?
Nn; it now sues things us they are. Fultehnod
has ceased to obscure its vision. Truth, long
deprived of her uutlmriiy, long forced to crooch
like u slave,obtains her rightful station, and shows
that the pretended nature nf the word is very
unlike iu real character. O wliulau hour is this I
When the soul is aroused to the true relations of
objects—when mistakes ere seen, but alas, too
lulu for Correction—when eternity’s importance
vnd awe enter into tho -decisions, wistier, und
feelings of Ura mind 1
Tlie hour of death I In this brief space the
■past is reviewed. How treacherous memory
umy have beeu oil a thousand occasions,she now
acquits hersell with fidelity. Omits she now to
unroll the record, which her bunds hud so often
clu*ped? Is she like the trumpet, tiiut bloweth
•0-« neertahraoltnUf”'Llfti'einiitory her tongue
now repents—scene*, forgotten scenes are recall-
iid, and buried events are brought up before the
eye. Over tho long path widen wo have made,
she leads us; here she stops to meditate on some
durkdeed; there site shows another way into
wliich puHsioit hurried us. Have we injured
friends? Have the true and fund bosoms tin
which wo rested been pierced by the darts of uti-
kindness? Memory presents it. Have we per
formed action* of genet ottity? IIuvo tho desola
tion ofthe widow been clraerud, uud lira londi-
ness of lira orphan beeu relieved by us! Has the
puth of one individual Inst a thoin by our instru
mentality, or the wreath offove had one rose ad
ded by our hands? Delighted wilfi the occur
rence, memory repeats it in strains of exultation,
Crowded into this narrow period, the momenta
resemble the waves that now dance in the suti-
jight to the music ofthe breeze, end now flow oft
in solemn silence beneath the shade of overhang
ing honghs. But does thd past alone employ
the fugitive hour/ That hour, imagination ulsti
make* her own. Whatever may huve hindered
its operation is now removed. Loftier uud fretir
than ever soars its wing. Over tho highest sum
mit it easily rises, borrowing life from death it
self.
Tho dying hour! It is then that Time nnd we
are purled. Though he may have led ns over n
diversified way, we then forsake hiut, he contin
ue* to travel tm in hi* own course, but we nre
ushered in'n a new condition. Cares ccnso to
distress. Tl.o last tear falls from thu eye, tho Inst
sigh escapes from lira bosom. Darkn'uss gathers
upon the earth, relieved only by Umt pure light
which proceeding from lienVen hath power to
,;ild the closing scene. Mortality, shrink not
i rom this hour I Pursue virtue—let religion bo
thy study, O man, and whenever and wherever
this event occur it shall find thee happily prppar-
ed. Whether death meet tithe nt lira door when
inidtiight rcignoth, or mid-day pour its tido of glo
ry on the world—whether it meet thee ninid the
consolations of home, or the privations ofa stran
ger’s country—whether il meet thee on tho up-
rising billow or in lira fruitful plain, it* stern brow
shall bear a soft aud holy expression, and its an
