directed to the numerous, severe, and iu some
instance* fatal, accident* which hove resulted
frniu the collision of vessels navigated by steam;
and ithppoariugto bo indlspensibly necessary, iu
order to guard against the recurrence t*f similar
oalamiticH, that a legnlntlou should be established
for tlm guidanee and government ofncrsuus en

Whereas the recognised Rule for sailing ves
sels is—
That those having the wind fair shall give way*
(o tiioso oil a wind:
That, when both ore going by dm wind, tlm
vessel on the starboard tack shall keep her wind,
•ltd the one on the lariroard tnck bear lip, thereby
passing each other nil tlm larboard hand;
That when both vessels have the wind large or
n-beaui, and iimef, they shall puss each other in
I'm saiiie way on dm larboard hand, toefll'ct which
two last mentioned objects' the helm must bo put
to tmrt;
And ns steam vessels may be considered in the
light of vessel* navigating with a fair wind, and
should give way to sailing vessel* ou a wind on
either tick, it becomes ouTy necessary tn provide
n rule for llmir observance when meeting other
steamers or ve*sel* going large :
Under these considerations, nnd with the object
before stated, this Board lias deemed it Tight to

oil communication with the Lords commissioners
of the Admiralty,the Elder Brethren find has been
already adopted in respect to steam vessels in her

To exhibit how impossible it has become to con
tinue a communication with Wilmington by steam
bouts, as fur nsregards profit, we would call atten
tion to the exhibit made at the Inst Semi Annual
Aleating of die Raleigh and Wilmington Rail
Road Company* of their income for tlm last half
year, comparing their profits oil llmir road with
Uieir profits by their boats.—It appears that the
net profit of llmir Rail Road amounted to §48,-
404, while the net income from tlm steam bout
linu was but $14,957 00. notwithstanding that,
there i* a higlmr rate charged for passage by die

Augusta and Hamburg toad are therefore deeply
concerned in the completion ofthia scheme for
connecting Charleston with Wikuiilgtun by Rail
Road communication.
Iu order to illustrate the truth of tlm remarks
of the Mercury, so fur as the transportation or
supplies to the ulterior is concerned, we state the
fiict—that during the present reason, notwith

Tlm gross receipts of the Georgia Wail Road,
now being constructed, for transportation, aie es-|

per uniiuyi. This amount is estimated Upon ilia]
assumption ihut tho road will terminate at Adi-
"Otlt.
Augusta, the largest interior •conitnorcial city 1
of tlm South, i* the next point. Tlut.prrtienl
population of Augusta is estimated at between
seven und eight thousand inhabitants; and imme
diately adjoining, connected by two bridge*, is
tint important town of Hamburg iu South Caro
lina. Of dm crop of Oottoii made ill 4835, dm 1
receipts at Augusta will-be 140.000 bales,und at
Hamburg 35.000, making an aggregate of 175,-
000 bates, which,at 50 dollars per bale, niukes mi
unmiiiit of 8,750,000 dollars. The sale of Mer
chandise may be safely estimated to exceed seven'
uiilfimu uf dollars,tlm* making nu aggregate com

steam boats and about 50 tow bouts. TImfreiglil
on dm import* of Anguela, from Suvanuxli,
though curried at very low rates, exceeds 200,000
dollars per enuum.
lJivereitig from the Georgia Rail Rond line, at
a point above Athens to dm south, die communi
cation i* opened by Forsyd* with Macon aud all
south-western Georgia.
Tho receipts ofCottop at Mncou the past sea
son amounted to 80,000 bales, of die average
weight of350 pounds, which nl the market value,
produced over four millions of Dollar*. The re
ceipts at other place* above Darien, amounted to
20,000 bule*, and in value to mm milium of dol
lar* . The sales of merchandise ut Mucun fa r din
year limy be estimated at 3,500.000 dollar*, und
other place* on tlm river at 7 to 600.000 dollars,
making nil aggregate commercial business for the
year ot over ume millions uf dollars.
The transportation of cotton uud merchandice
on the Orotic** and Ocmulgee rivers, employs at
present eight steamboats mid fifty tow bouts and
pole boat*. From Macon to Savannah, the Cen
tral Rail Road of Georgia is uboiit being construc
ted.
From Macon to Columbus on die Cliattahoo-
chie river, tlm present counmimcafmti is by two
daily lines of Post Coaclies,butwHlwidiontdoubt,

timiiihly the second, and Columbus tlm third city

Though of recent origin, they huve already out
stripped their cider competitors, and ore growing
w ith a rapidity only equalled hy dm most flour
ishing towns of the north and west.
The quantity of Cotton made in Georgia dm
Inst season and exported by dm way of Co him-
hu* und dm Chattahtiochw und Flint Rivws to
Apalachicola exceeded forty thousand bales, and
in value over two million of dollars, employing
two steamboat* on tlm Flint nnd twelve on the
Chnttahoncoie river. In diis section, of tho coun
try. a large portion of tlie.best Cotton lauds are
not yet brought into cultivation, and tlm produc
tion is yearly increasing in u great ratio.
We Imve staled foot a rail road entering tho
nordmru boundary of Georgia, ut any point be-
twevpn South Carolina and Alubumn, would com-
niunicntis by the Georgia Rail Road dirough Ath
ens to Augusta, and from that point wotthl com
mand the trade ofboih Charleston and Savannah,
thus giviifg n choice of dm two most important
markets of dm Son them Atlantic coast.
The city of Savannah in 1830 contained a pop-
illation of 7900 inhabitant*. By information de-
rival from dm local audiuritie*, the population i*
now stated at 11,000.
Th« exports of cotton from Savannah of the
crop mndo in 1835, will be about 250,000 bales,
which at the average value of 55 dollar* per hale,
will unount to $13,750,000 dollni*. The export
of rice of the crop of 1835, will be about 24.000
rn«k*. aud will amount in value to $450,000.—
The exports ofLnmbernnd nil other article* may
amount to $7511,000, making au aggregate of
nearly fifteeu million* of dollar* in value export
ed ofthe produce of the country from Savannah
the present year.
Tlm imports into Savannah the present year
from all quarter* will exceed twelve million* of
dollars, part of which is sold in Savannah, nnd
part forwarded in the original pnekuge* to Au*
gnsta, Mncon and other places in the interior.—
The intercourse between Savannah and N. York
ulone employs fifteen regular packets mnttv ol
diem large ship*, borides transient vessel*. But
the largest busmens from Savnnunli i* direct with
Liverpool. In eight und a half months, to wit:
from Oct. 1,1835, to June J6.1836. there wa*
shipped from Savannah direct to Liverpool, 125,-
8U7 hale* of Cotton, which at tlm value of 56 dol
lar* per bale, amounted to $6,919,385.
From Savannah steamboats inn to Augusta, In
Charleston, tn Darien, to Macon In the St.Johns
River, Host Florida, and to ull die intermediate
place* on the coast and river*.
By a statement published iu die Savannah
Georgian on the 17th of June 1836, it appears
that the merchant* of Savannah were then own
er* in thirty-seven ship* and brigs, beside* small
er vessels, and steamboat*—that of these, eigh
teen were ship* of tlie largest class avetuging over
500 ton* each.
From Savannah the Central Rail Road will
lend directly into the heart of Georgia, nnd ar
rangements are being m»d« to count'd line* of
steam packets running to Norfolk and Nuw-York.
Having pointed mil the important cutntiicrcinl

here tlie broad caricatures of tho Babble Family,

that the lady tells us plain enough as tn her po

Bubbles are all Whig*, but further than that it is

and with an upward tendeimv in prices. Since then,
thero has been a very anhmmsd, as well as a very
general demand. The salVls on Wednesday amount,

to about 3500 bales. Tiro continued activity in
the market, and the conseqdbnt decrease In the quant

and obV quotations have bteen altered accordingly.—
Our highest rate for Louisiana nnd Mississippi Cot-

Tiro Whig pres* hns very generally exprosseda
decided opinion against tiro scramble for office
which.since tho election of Gen. Harrison, tin*
manifested itself in some quartern. The pres* in
Virginia, it will be seen by the following para
graphs, is equally decided ou the subject:
The New.York correspondent of tiro National
Intelligencer states that “uu undignified aud un
worthy scramble for office has already commenc
ed" in tliut city. “ Mondre going uhtiut getting
other men to sign their names to papers request
ing Gen. Harrison to give them such und such an
office.” We almost devoutly hope that in every
such case, Gen. Harrison will reject the applicant.
This offict-scthing mania is the disgrace and curse
of the country? and we hold that the beggars for
the crumbs that fall from tiro President’s table,
show, by that very .circumstance, that they tiro
mercenaries in spirit, and unworthy tlie stations
they seeki They make the best officers who staud
aloof from this spuniel-liko scramble of tho
•'spoils."-“Wo all recollect the host of office-
seekers by whom Gen. Jackson was besiged
when he entered Washington City, and whom lie
only succeeded in dispersing hy u general notice
that no mull should rcceivo an appointment cz-
cept at his home I The Whigs have been denounc

Wo look to Gen. Harrison with unfaltering
confidence to put an end nt once and forever to
Uro demoralizing office seeking spirit, which was
engendered by tho "spoils system” us introduced
anil practised by the reigning faction. His posh
lion will nimble him to do it, und wo Imve faith
that his inclinations wil prompt him. Lei him,
by his acts, proclaim to the world that mere par-
tizan Zeal, without capacity und established char
acter for honesty, constitute no passport to office.
And let him, il possible, suppress tlmt growing
pussiun ol'tbo age—Uie eagerness to lie quurlered
upon tho Public. Treasury—to live without labor
ut tho public expense—a passion which is n baiiu
to honest industry and In good moral*. This ho
cun only efiefjt by exerting Ids influence in cur
