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 cessary to the road fiirmation.on the whole length of tke.reumin'mg division, extendi ug from - * •Cross Whmw7' mi Murray County, to Ross’ Landing, «u the Tennessee River, The stuck markets 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.

These fund*, with die midi- 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 known to ho available for every purpose con nected with the road formation, diere cuu be no cull for a further provision of fund*, until con tracts shall have beeu made for the purchase of iron rails Indeed, it is pretty certain Unit w hen die euitrc road foioutturn shall have been com pleted and paid for. diere will still remainoii hand, State bonds to-dm amount of three lo five hun dred thousand dollars, applicable to the timber part of the supersUuutnrv.uud other object* con nected wiiii this work, aiiouid n.e action ofthe present session of die J«egisluiure bo such as to give capitalist* uuqiiestiomm'eussuraucesthatUie faith of the State wiU-he kepi in die punctual pay* meiil of die interest and principal of ibesuaud such otlu-r bonds as the State's Agenisuaiy here after he authorised to put ill market, diere-caube •no reasonable doubt that they will all be soon re garded as equivalent cir nearly >o, lo the best cur rency of die couutry. It is true, and must not he forgotten, that certain arrearages yet due to soiue-ofonr.first contractors, the debt due to die 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.

Itoil 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
