Tho deflecting linen of planets, tho irregularities
in thu motions of Saturn, and tho inharmonious

all of which were formerly sources of constant
and inexplicable difficulty with astronomers, aro
now perfectly understood and karinunizmijuml,

which, as the knowledge of it could not be mi
ddled subservient to n single want, will, in all
probability, forever remain concealed from hu-
tntiu investigation, scarcely a single observed ce
lestial phenomenon remains to be explained.
•• But. interesting as is this persevering, 1 may
say rail road trait m the Aiuurican character, it
is to he regretted that it is sometimes attempted
to be introduced where it can never b« success-
Ihlly applied. However much uiay be achieved

not to he best attained with so great a rapidity.
The consequence of mi attempt to crowd into the
minds ol thu youth, ill such quick succession, the
enure circle of Science and Literature, and to
finish the course of study ut so eatly on age, has
had the effect to lower the standard of literary em
inence in our country .until thoDiploma in Law,in
Medicine, or as a College graduate, has ceased to
be evideuce of any nimsunl proficiency. What
is wanted isa change in the models of our Insti-
lotions of Learning. They are nt present very
generally modelled after corresponding institu
tions iu Europe, where Uie circumstances of those
who avnil themselves of their advantages are ma
terially different. We are a working, active, bu
siness people, and we used institutions of learn
ing for our youUi adapted Vo this our peculiar
characteristic, where the innate energy which
they possess will neither be stifled nor directed to
' objects where it cannot be successfully applied.
Looknt tho men most noted for enterprise mid
business iu this or any other community where
you are acqninted, and see what proportion of
them nre graduates of a College, or, indeed, ob
serve the comparatively small number of College
graduates that are successful in business, and it
then ceases to be a wonder tliat it lins become ^so
- general a sentiment that an education disqualifies
fur ordinary pursuits. But, assuredly, h proper
education cannot disqualify lor business; but, on
. 'the contrary, Hwust necessarily lie a great auxil-
iaiy iu any pursuit whatever. The defect is not
ill the knowledge possessed, but in the sys'em by
which it has been acquired, and in the habits and
notions that have been acquired with it. Habits
of practical industry, without which no business
cau he carried on to full advantage, must he ac
quired, if at all in the early periods of life; but at
‘ this very period, the youth, in our institutions of
learning, are placed where they are not only gen
erally deprived of an opportunity of increasing
their habits of industry, and bodily activity and
energy, lint also liKely to lose any that they may
have previously possessed. We need institutions
of learning adapted to the genius of n business
people, an American community, where the bod
ily and tnental powers shall have an equal oppor
tunity to a perfect devclnpemeut, as there is in
utter life, an equal demand upon them in the
wants of their countrymen. We should enmbino
education with business, and a means of outlive-
..ting babita of industry. 1 mu uwure of difficul

THE MAILS.
No Mai! from the North yesterday. Remem
ber that the Savannah Mail from the North,
i-tops 21 hours at Charleston. It is carried some
40 miles on the Charleston & Hamburg Rail
Road Curs, which leave habitually before the
Wilmington boats arrive. That Rail Road re
ceives $200 per mile for transporting the Mail,
while the Savannah & Macon Road receives bu t
fclOO per mile. This is nice impartiality by the
way.' We think for this price the Charleston &
Hamburg Rail Rond might start their cars with
the Savannah Mail, immediately on tho arrival of
the boats.
Our Western Mail too, comes every day 24
hnnrs behind the time it should and wonld'
arrive, provided the Savannah and Macon Stages
took it at Macon, instead of at Mitledgeville.

would be remedied if the Savannah stage had ta

there is a sufficient unntber of causes Unit may be
assigned, without bringing us to the conclusion
tliat Education cannot successfully he coin! ined
with business pursuits. Tho term manual labor
itself, usuppliod to these institutions, was tnunr-
lunate. There is too generally associated with it
utt idea of degradaUon—that they are a kind of
juvenile workhouse. Again; there has been loo
close a calculation of dollars ami cents nt the com
mencement, and because the institution would
not yield a profit at first, it has been given up in
despair; when, from the nature of things, sever
al years must necessarily elapse from the cum-
mericnmeiit of such nit institution, before it could
possibly get into successful operation. It ap-
pears to me, too, and I say il wiUi great deference
to Uie judgment of those who have been engaged
in tim management of institutions of tiiis kind,
that too little attention has been paid iu the gov-

. the great art of education consists in being
able to bold out inducements for the youth vol-

is/Jesircd they should. Every one know* with
whut cheerfulness nud vigor a youth, even one
many times Unit will engage reluctantly iu what
he is dircctal to do, will enter upon its plays and
voluntary amusements; that tho bodily exertion
there uselessly employed would, under different
and proper direction, be capable of accomplish

it is that consUtntes the difference between work

The steamer Charle* Downing, Captain Dent,

D. informs ns there was nothing of interest from
Uie seat of war. From the following which we
clip front tho St. Augustine Newt of the 4th inst.
a copy of which was politely forwarded us by the
Editor, it will be seen that Gen. Armsted has
di.-tricted off Uie troops engaged in that service.
We hope under Uiis new arrangement our
gallant army will be more successful than hither
to, but the number of troops in Florida is so small
compared with the immense extent of territory
to be occupied, that we shall only expectns usual
a partial success from the untiring efforts of our

The firatevst of the great Erie Cattnl and its
branches, wrs in round numbers $12,500,000.
Title Canal is o\t tied by the State of Ncw-York,
nnd managed by C immiwioners appointed lor
that purpose. Its tiAvignUon is clpsed by ice ut
least five months nf lira year, nnd yet so exten
sive is the business transacted on it, that it is now
being enllirged at au additional expense, esti
mated by their Engineers nt $12,000.000—and
the New-York correspondent of the National In
telligencer writes, but a few days since, that tho
business of the Canal is increasing so rapidly,
that tho proposed enlargement estimated to
cost twelve milllonn more is demanded im
mediately at whatever cost t and that il it were
now completed, the amount of tolls, beside pay
ing the interest on the debt still dim add the debt
about to be incurred, would in a short space of
time, extinguish the principal. Wn remember
to have reed the annual report of tho Canal
Commissioners about a year since, ill which
they state that some of the bonds of the State,
bearing an interest of 6 per cent, were sold in
lti25, nnd were payable in London iu 1845. The
Commissioners having nbundaqt funds on hand
from the receipts of the Canal, were unxious to
anticipate Uie payment of those bonds in 1838,
hut the capitalists who had made Uie loan, re
fused tn take the money and givn up the bonds
until Uiey should full due. This is u striking
commentary ou the excellence of the system of
making loans abroad for objects of this nature,
particularly when we can pronounce with per
fect certainty that signal success will, follow close
upon an outlay of this kind. We regard the en
tire success of the State Roud as perfectly certain.
That of Uie New-York Canal was problematical
—highly so. The Erie Canal cost, $ny $24,000,
000—and is closed five niouUis of Uio year. The
Slum Rail Road, which is ns important to tho in
terests of Georgia as the Grand Canal is to New-
York, is to cost by tho lato report of the Com
missioners the very moderate sum of $3,000,000.
What gives Uio State of Georgia an immense ad
vantage,is thatprivutecompaniesare constructing
more than twice os much of this great line of iu-
tercomnuniication as she is. This condition of
Uiings gives lo the State an assurance of imme
diate income from her expenditure, which she
would not otherwise have. It gives to the Stale
the advantages of an internal communication
during ever)’ season offfie year front the Atlantic
to Uie Tennessee river, with only an expenditure
of $3,000,000 on her part, Uiis sum being neces
sary to construct a road coveriugone hundred and
thirty-five miles of the whole distance, the chasm
being filled up by the Savannah and Macon, the
Macon and Forsyth,and Forsyth npd DeKulb Rail
Ronds. We do not believe tho immense advan
tage to the State in this regard has been sitfficienty
thought on or commented on. Certain it is that
the State does not seem to hnve rendered to Uiese
works any acknowledgment of the vast assistance
she is to derive from them, for their repeated ap
plications for aid have been disiegarded. Thanks
however to the energy nnd prudence displayed in
the management of the affairs of these private
companies, they can do without aid from the
State, and they are going straight forward over
hill and over vulley and river, and will clasp to
gether with bands of iron, all tho vast interests of
this State. The effects of Uie New-York Canal,
distanced all calculation. New mines were dis
covered and worked, new sources of industry
were developed, villages and even cities sprang
up where but a short time before was heard the
woodman’s axe and the cry of wild beasts. The
realization of its benefits has been more like fan
cy Uian liko sound, undispntable facts. It was
as though tho times of the enchanters had come
again, when under the magic wand of some po
tent sorcerer. Uie gloom of the silent recesses of
the woods, gives place tn brightness and bounty,
and the rocks and caverns and streams are chan
ged to palaces nnd gothic halls and mtirmeritig
fountains. The effect in proportion to our pop
ulation and resources, will not be the less surpri
sing in our own. State. Our Rail Roads when
half constructed, begin to yield prodigious pro
fits. The small fractional parts are being rapidly
filled up and in May, 1842, the whole line of Rail
Road from Savannah to Ross' Landing, which is
fifteen miles beyond the North-Western bounda
ry of Georgia, will be in full operaUnn. We learn
that the contracts just offered nn the unfinished
portion of tlie Savannah and Macon Rail Road,
i. e. between the Oconee and Ocmulgce hnve
been sought with the utmost avidity—that an im
mense number of proposals hnve been handed in.
This looks well. We only regret tliat the Direc-
tors of this Rond hnve not resolved to complete
the work by the 1st of January, 1842, instead of
tlie 1st of May, 1842.

SENATOR TALLMADGE’S ESTIMATE.
In June last, a letter from the Hon. N. P. Tall-
madge appeared in tho public prints, giving his
estimate of tlio probable resultofthe Presidentinl
struggle then pending. Tho letter and estimate
gave rise to a great deni of discussion; the Ad
ministration presses assailing its calculations ns
visionary in tho extreme, nnd the Whig pnpers
defending tho claims preferred by the honorable
Senator to the several States. We re-publish nn
extract from Mr.Tullmadge's letter, togeUier with
the estimate, that our readers may judge for them
selves how wild it was— Alb. Daily Ado.
" I hnve written a much longer letter than I in
tended when I commenced; but, having said this
much, I will add n litUe more, by way of giving
my estimnte of the Presidential election. I have
takeh great twins to get tfie most accurate infor
mation. 1 have not only consulted members of
Congress, but I have had n very extensivo corres
pondence throughout the Union. My sources of
information may be implicitly relied on; nnd I
say to you with the utmost sincerity, thnt, in my
judgment, Gener.nl Harrison will be elected by a
more triumphant majority thnn General Jackson
received iti his palmiest days. In writing lo you
ns a friend, I hnve not only no motive, but no dis
position, to mislead or exaggerate. I give my es
timate below, on which I place the most implicit
reliance, and sincerely believe the result will fol
ly justily it.

03 s Amos Kendall vacated his place in the
Post Office at a very fortunate period; and has
made a pretty cat’s-paw of Dr. Niles. We do
not wonder uach that Uie Ex-Seuntor is annoy-
at the trick dint lins been played upon him,
and speaks ill of his illustrious predecessor. The
Doctor will he somewhat puzzled to make a fa
vorable presentment of the affairs of the office, if
there is good foundation for the following article,
which we copy from the National Intelligencer:
THE POST OFFICE.
That there is a general deficiency in the pub
lic revenue, lop large amount, which it will he
among tho first duties of the present or the next
Congress to p-ovide for, not only for the time
being but fo time to come, we presume is uni
versally midi mood. If nothing he done by way
of providing bi the extinction of this debt, the
first thing, it; ieed, that Congress will have to do
under the ad mistration of Gen. Harrison, (who
will no doult icstore to Congress the duty nf
managing tl t icteuue. usurped by tho Executive
since the 4th or* March, 1829) will he to provide
at once for t e payment of a public debt (inclu
ding Trensn y notes) of twenty orthiity millions
nf dollnrs. ‘In next and yet more important du
ty which wil necessarily devolve upon the next
Congress w I teto provide a permanent addition
to the reven lo, which fulls annually short of the
wants nf tin Government, parUy from Um late
derungcmeiis in the commerce of tlm country,
but prmcipa y by the tiecessnry operation of the
compromise nriff, which will have reached its
minimum in 842, but isnlready low enough for
its effects to e sensibly felt upon the revenue
from the cusoms. (or duties upon imports.)
Ill udditim lo oUierdcficienciesoftlm revenue,
which it will be necessary for Congress lo pro
vide for, if«t do not mistake the matter, will bo
that in the r< reipts of the Post Office which have
been falling iff, until its revenue is not adequate
toils expenliture. The prese'nt Post Master
General, Wf believe, received it from his prede
cessor load'd with a heavy debt, which tlie di
minishing revenue of the office is not likely to
enable him to provide for.
We suspect, in fact, thnt- the Post Office De
partment, n» i4efi ns the Treasury Department,
finds it difficult'to meut the daily ordinary de
mands upotlft. **

Business Prospects.—On Thursday Inst, there
wns a considerable quantity of Cotton arrived in
wagons, beside some hundred bales by boats.
We can snywilh safety that there were at least
700 bales received in store. One warehouse re
ceipted for over 260 bates, and ns we have six
warehouses, and eoch did a good business that
day, the number of hales received cannot full
short of our calculation. A large business wns
done in Uie grocery line, thereby sustaining our
calculations relative to the prospects of Ham

The Colton Crop.—The Red River Whig of
thR2?st,re-nsserta its former belief,Uiat the cotton
crop of thnt section, will not bViine-hnlf ns large
as tliat of last year. It says information derived
from all parts of the country confirms tho correct
ness of the opinion. Some few plantations Iiuvr
been comparatively favored and will niakn near
ly the usual quantity, but taking tho whole toge
ther, not more Ilian half n crop will he realized.
The great overflow of lhe river ondlhe ravages
of Hie Cntarpliler have been the combined causes.

Removals Jrom Office.—We hopo among the
removals from office, which the ins seem to np-
prehend, nnd the outs to claim, one man in par
ticular will he spared. He is n post master in
Maine, near thn Arostook line, who, .when Col.
Bnrry took command of the Post Office Depart
ment, and was sweeping all before him in the
sliane of reform, addressed him a letter which ran
iu the following vein:
"My Dear Colonel: The sound of your broom
which is now sweeping the Augean stables is
echoing among these distant hills; village nnd for
est are nlike filled with dismny; tho birds forsake
the woods, the trembling infant (lies to its moth
er’s arms, nnd even strong men find Uteir joints
give way—they shnkc like Belshazzar nt ilia vi-
sionnry hand tnnt wrote his death-doom. I tiem-
ble for my office—I have eleven small children,
and nine of them are girls—it yields me now three
dnllurs and thirty-seven nnd a half cents n year—
this enables me to buy them sugar-plums, jows-
harps, piccnninies, besides a • thanksgiving’
goose. I cast myself on your clemency.
Ever faithfully, yours.”
From the Baltimore Patriot.
A True Prophet.—Tho Wnrrenton (Vn.)
Times is entitled to credit for a prediction, made
four yenre ago, which has been more entirely re
alized than any modern prophecy within our
memory, unless it bo the prediction by tho Whigi
of tiie consequences of Gen. Jackson’s underta
king to '‘manage tho revenue of the countly.**
We subjoin u copy ofthe prediction:
'• Tho Opposition, claiming to be contending
for the rights of the Peoplo under tho law und
Constitution, will ImistMheir flags with the name
of William Henry Harrison, tlio soldier nnd
pairiot.the hereof Tippecunoeund ofthe Thames,
and, nl the end of four years, we shall Imve an
other President of overwhelming popularity,who
will have the power to mould and shape our Go-
vermnenteshe chooses. We are furfiom bo
Moving that Gen. Harrison would abuse bis pow
er; but when wo nided to elevate Jackson,wo hnd
full confidence in hitn, und God defend us from
a second military President coming into power
on the vote of an almost undivided People! We
sincerely hope thnt Harrison limy note bo elect
ed, for very many reasons besides thoso assigned
above; for that he is to be rhclttl on the next trial is
as certain as thut our Union will lice through the
next four years."
Election Joke.—At lhe late election in this city,
nn old and well known gentleman presented him
self at the window where, he hud voted for twen
ty years. His vote wns challenged hv a young
whipper-snapper who officiated, nnd who knew
that the old gentleman differed iu politics with
him.
*' It is noccssnry for you to swear thnt yon
hove lived in • this ward more tiiuit ten days,"
said thn challenger.
” Why you know thnt I have,” replied tlio vo
ter, " fur more thuu a voerngo you came to my
■hop nnd purchased tfie hat you have on, and
have never puidforityet!”—Saturday Courier.
Gallantry.—A sailor who had spent nearly nil
hi* days On the blue watflre, and knew liuifl of
land gear, cumo ashore tlie other day, and In pass-
inp up ,street, saw a little woman going ulong
with u largo tnqff before her. Ho stopped up
very politely, nnd offered to carry it for her, ns
he was going the tame way.
