Charleston Hotxl.w-TIhj reader ia referred to

to the Cbarleaton Hotel. It will be aeen that it
has been lcaaed for a term of years by Mr. Pam

that he used to be, when we knew him aa " mine

ling public to avoid hia house} foi he will treat
them so courteously:and provide for them so
sumptuously, Uwt thsy wilt n.v.p be tiLls to leave
it voluntarily. If, however, they like excellent
accommodations, comfortable apartments, atten

landlord, they will do well never to past through
Charleston without giving him a call.

' The Equinoctial* Storm this day one week
ago, was very violent all along the Atlantic coast
from this place to Maine. For a lime In New
York the wind was a tornado, and the rain a del
uge, knocking about the shipping, dislocating
sign-bokrds, chimneys, fee. Of course there has
been a thorough breaking np of the ice in the
Northers rivers, leaving nothing now to obstruct
navigation.

Sons or Txmserakce.—We noticed a report
not long since, drawn up by a Committee of the
Sons of Temperance in the city of Now-Orleans,
• who had been appointed for the purpose of sscer-
taining the number of deaths which bad occurred
in their Order from the Cholera. This report ex
hibiU some curious and interesting facts, the
most important of which is, that during the late
epidemic there were but three deaths among the
Order. Considering the extensive and fetal pre
valence of the disease, tEls feet speaks volumes in
favor of the principles of ths Order, and we doubt
not will exercise its due effect upon the minds of
those who hare hitherto been slow to yield their
support (o the cause of Temperance. If our pub
lic men would give to this institution the weight
of their influence and character, instead of pass
ing laws to fore* men to be temperate, as has r*-
cently been done In some of the New England
States, their effort* would be crowded with much
greater success. All Institutions of a benevolent
nml reforming character should rest upon the
moral sentiment of the people for their founda
tion, and not upon the strong and sometimes
tyrannical arm of tho law. Governments may
enact codes of morality and propriety, and pass
stringent statutory regulations in regard to the
private deportment of individuals} but they will
fail to accomplish much, as indeed they should.
Certain timid classes may bow submissively to
their commands, os tho Castern idolater does be
fore the crushing car of Jcooebmadt } but in the
end such a policy will only have the effect to
drive them to the other extreme, arouse their
worst passions, and produce in an aggravated
form the very evils which they seek to remedy.
Henro it is, that mankind view with so much
nversion the old Blue Laws of Connecticut, and
the pharasxlcal enactments of the Roundheads in
the times of Cbokwell.
It setma that there are seventeen Divisions of
the Order in New Orleans, which number in all
1,213 members. . Out of this number there were
only three deaths, and in some of the Divisions
. not even a case of confirmed cholera occurred.
This fact becomes more important when it is re
membered that in the city and vicinity, canals-
timr of nI * >u t-100,000 Inhabitants, there were 1,500
deaths from cholera. Of the three members belong
ing to the Order who died, ono htd been a mem
ber but one week, one other less than a month,
and the third, although a member much longer,
was a city watchman, and consequently much
exposed. It will be seen therefore, that the mor
tality in tho general population was fifteen deaths
to a thousand souls, while thatof the Rons of Tem
perance was less than 3 to 1,200—t strinking con-
tract which goes for to prove the value of the Order.
Rath** a “MdDKSATE” ArraiR—In referring
to the new Cabinet, the Athens Banner bolds the
following language:
“Gen. Tavlor professes to be a moderate Whig—
ho has certainly appointed men of very moderate
abilities to administer the government."
"Moderate” indeed ! and put forth by a very
"moderate" man, who happened "to be in Con'
grcM about nine years ago." The reader will be
relieved from tills otherwise fetal extinguisher of
the Banner, when we inform him that the editor
- has one standing argument against all manufec'
hiring establishments, from which his transcend-
nnt abilities may be inferred. He opposes them
because, as he alleges, they injure the business of
the old women of the country who follow sewing,
iknittidg'and weaving! This is certainly a very
'""WffNtf*” argument, and is altogether worthy
of tho "moderate" source from which it origi
nated. For the future uo body will bo surprisod!
at the estimate which he places upon the abilities
> of others; the only doubt will be as to whether our
" cotemporary does not have his knitting dose "free,
- gratis, and for nothing."
Mowumemt to Dx Witt Clinton.—The pro
posed monument to the memory of Da Witt
Clinton, for which subscriptions to tho amount
of $93,000, have been secured, is to consist of a
triumphal arch, surmounted by a collossal statue
of the deceased, to be erectod at the head or State
street, Albany, within the grounds and in front of
the Capitol.
Vagrant Children in Boston.—We find in
tho Post a synopsis of the report of Marshal Tukey
on this subject. The Marshal thinks that the
whole number of truant and vagrant children' in
ia VAX), of whom 800 to 900, from neglect
and bad habit*, are not fit to enter any of the
present schools.
(ft-Hon. Wm. C. Dawson, and Gov. Fitz
patrick, of Ala., passed through Augusta last
Sunday night on their return from Washington.
"On, G et Out!”—This, according to tho Spring-
field Republican, is what Mr. Webster said to
Mr. Foote, who was comparing Mr. \y. to De
mosthenes and Durke.
Too Liberal to be Tri e —The Macon 2Y1<-
graph copies the following paragraph from, the
South Carolina Palmetto State Banner:
l, Look out for Incendiary Publications.—Since the
Pont-Office Department has been placed under
the control of a Vermont abolitionist, wo may ex
pect to hive our eyes gladdened occasionally with
the sight of some of those beautiful abolition pub
lications and priuts, with which we were favored
some years Unce."
We observed a few weeks ago an extract from
a letter to tlie Thlegnph from its Washington cor
respondent, Which spoke of Mr. Collamib, tho
uo# Post Muter, as the best appointment which
Gen. Taylor had made. Our cotemporary at
Macnu lias endorsed both the compliment from
bis correspondent and the slanderous insinuation
of the Palmetto Banner, inasmuch as lie published
them without expressing any disapprobation of ei
ther. In this dilemma what will his readers think of
Mr. Collamib ? They look to the paper and find
that one week it fires at him "in the tear," and
the next "in the front." Like the temple of Janus,
it seems to have two feces. When must they be-
lievc and when must they not believe ?
As to the "Vermont Abolitionist," we think it
probable tliat ho will emd out "abolition publica
tions and prints" just so soon as he learns that the
Telegraph and the Benner are converts to aboli
tionism, and not before. The one event will oc
cur about as soon as tho other. That the Banner
should make such scurrilous attacks is natural}
but we must confess that we were not prepared
to see a paper usually so just in its views as the
Telegraph, lending itself to such unbecoming work.
Sam Houston and Ma. Calhoun.—<3en. Hous
ton, one of the Texas Senators, (says the New-
York Tribune,) publishes a long communication
in the National Intelligencer, addressed to hia con
stituents nominally, but really Intended as a re
ply to some remarks of Mr. Calhoun, In a speech
delivered In Charleston-, ei. C., soon after tho close
of the SeMion of '47-f*, aud the passage of tho bill
organising the Territory of Oregon. In that
speech Mr. Calhoun contended that, but for what
he is pleased to term the defection of two Senators
from SlavehoIdlng8tates—HoutTONandBaNTON—
tho bill organlxifig 'the Government of Oregon
would not have become a Law, and thus another
victory of tho South over the North would have
been achieved.
The Testa Senator tayt it lias always been his
purpose to reply at a proper time, but lie did not
think it wortli while to drag tho subject before the
Senate to the detriment of the public interests.—
He then walks into the great Carolinian in a very
sarcastical manner, for assuming to speak for the
whole South on this subject of slavery—asks
whence Mr. Calhoun's authority for stepping
over the South Carolina line to issue Papal bulls
for such a multitude of States? Mr. Houston
then reviews tlie public life of Mr. Calaoun, his
ever-changiugcourao on the questions of the Ta
riff, Bank, and Internal Improvements, his Nul
lification schemes, fee., and endeavors to prove
therefrom that Mr. Calhoun has nover enjoyed
tlie confidence of the people of tlie South, whom
he addresses in such complaisant and patronising
terms. Tho following, extract from Mr. Hous
ton’s address will make somo of Mr. Calhoun's
’friends open their eye» wider than usual:
•• After the Ordinance of 1787 had settled the
question as to the introduction of Shivery into
Tenitories where it did not exist, the Missouri
question openod a new controverayon the subject.
Could the extension of Slavery be restricted by
Congress in any portion of a Territory in which
U had been authorised by law ? This momentous
question was submitted by Mr. Monroe to his
Cabinet, and the opinion of each member required
in writing, when the issue and all its threatening
consequences hung upon their decision. A co-
temporaneous letter from Mr. Monroe to General
Jackson, and the diary of Air. Adams of that day
f &CJ- The following ia a "tithit" a description
of tho aceno in tin* Senate Chamber on tho night
of tlie 3d hut. We copy it for Uio funny way in
which the tiling is told, and the queer description
Of Senator Fuote. Altogether, wo think tho sccno
must have been a ludicrous one, much more laugh
able than serious, though seriously provoking at
such a time and in such a place. A queer time
that Saturday night, in so grave a place as tlie
Senate Chamber:
In the Senate, during the night, the everlasting
Air. Foote, that teetotum of a man, that dried
neats tongue of a Senator, that wisened husky
inau-cose, that impersonation of Zoroaster and
Confucius, and Noafi, aud llaiulet, aud Hotspur,
and Parollcs; tliat bundle of walking explana-
ions and fountain of. prolixity, who seems to
iave been created on purpoeo to tax men's pa
tience—this gentleman, beside keeping the Sen
ate in a row half the night, had an lutrtMfr* tote-
a-teto with Mr. Cameron of Pennsylvania. Me.
Cameron intimated to him that he was a general
offence, and that his words were not worth mind
ing. Thereat the spicy Mr. Fbcte made a pot
hook of his forefinger and clapped it under Air
Cameron’s nose, accompanying the unusual fa
miliarity with a flip upward, and aakiug him if
that was worthy his attention. Air. Cameron re
buked tlie rude attempt to invert his nasal organ,by
somo sort of a slap or blow, upon which Air. Foote
squared away a fo Tom liver, and was for putting
in tho scientific licks mighty quick. Ths affair
stopped, ho*vever. Let no one thiuk the occur
rence, or tho description thereof, beneath the dig
nity of the Senate/ If the wholo of that night’s
proceedings were described in detail this incident
would seem tonic.
recording the transaction, prove that Mr. Calhoun
concurred with the rest of the Cabinet in approv
ing the act of Congress imposing the restriction.
Air. Calhoun’s written opinion has disappeared from
the files of the Department} but the separate aud
written attestations left by Mr. Monroe aud Mr.
Adams establish the fact that it once existed. A
more recent act of Mr. Callioun throws on him
again, aa a member of Mr. Tyler's Administra
tion, a still more invidious responsibility, as giv
ing new force to the principle assumed to sustain
the power of Congsess in restricting Slavery even
instate* where the institution existed. By his
irreptitious dispatch of the annexation resolutions
_ mtaming this restriction upon Texas, Mr. Cal-
houn'destroyed the legal capacity there existing
to employ slave labor north of UP 30', and cut on
a vast region from the occupation of Southern
R lanters and fanners. In this case there was no
iroatened schism of tlie Union, as in that of tho
Missouri compromise to make it a sort of necessity.
AIR. Callmuu had an alternative proposition in his
hand, which U is known the President elect (Mr.
Polk) bad agreed to adopt, because, in giving a
commission to adjust the terms of annexation, it
was at once more just to the interests and more
flattering to the State pride of the young republic
in the act of blending itself with Uie confederacy.
Yet Mr. Calhoun chose rather, by an act of super
erogation. to apply a restriction of Congress not
meant to be executed, and mutilate aBoutheru
State, and suppress in a large portion of it the do
mestic institution sanctioned by its laws. Never
theless, be condemns tlie Senator from Missouri
and myself for assenting to an act of Congross
•imply confirming, in a Northern territory, tho
Government organized there by the people them
selves excluding Slavery, according to tlie princi
ples and precedents which every territory simi
larly situated had before adopted, with the uni
versal sanction of the representatives in Congress
right
1787.
makes me an offender against the South, did not
all the Senators and Representatives from that
quarter offend in the same way in regard to Wis
consin and Iowa ? And, most of all, Mr. Calhoun
himself, wlio, twice as a Cabinet officer, and
again as a Senator representing South Carolina,
had admitted the constitutionalpower of Congress
to repress Slavery evan ia territories wheie it had
a legal footing?
* • • "The Slave Question Is one ofimmense
import to Uie South. It notonly involves millions
of property, but of lives. Every fibre of the heart
of those among whom slavery exists may be tor
tured by apprehensions and jealousies, through
suggestions of an eminent public man, who takes
upon himself the character of sentinel to watch
and avert the lurking dangers that environ it.—
The man who stands guard over a magazine in a
populous city .may sacrifice the most innocent,
against whom he can point a suspicion of a plot
to fire it. Mr. Calhoun takes on himself this
charge, in regard tothj explosive materials of the
South, for sn-b sinister purposes alone. This
vigilant guardian of Southern Rights, who, it has
been seen, was ever ready tobarter them to attain
his selfish ends, is now laboring to make more in
tense than ever the excitemenfon the question of
Slavery, by agitating the Right of Extension, both
at the North and South, upon new and most ultra
grounds. In bis resolutions upon the subject, in
troduced since bis surrender of one third of the
State of Texas tq the Missouri restriction, the
right of extending Slavery into all of the territory
or the Uuited States is boldly assumed, in defiance
of all of his previous acts in Congress and the
Cabinet."
This is quite an interesting family quarrel
The Names or ths PaxtiDUMTi.—How far
name has an influence on character or on eleva
tion, says the Newport New*, we are not prepar
ed lo say. Our first President was named for the
then ruling king of England—and Harrison
bore tho name of two of her kings. Three of our
Presidents bore the name of the Apostle John—
three the name of the Apostle James, and one of
Thomas—distinguished new testament names.
Another bore the name of the great Protestant
leader, Luthsb. Taylor is (he first one who
beap-s an old testament name.
Tho cognomen Zachary has not very frequent
ly appeared appended to men in distinguished
public life. More than a thousand years have in
tervened between the election of Popo Zachary,
and President Zachary. It is a curious circum
stance that the Papal temporal dynasty was com
menced in Rome under Zachary, 1107 years ago
and in the same year that the American Zacha
ry is called to our Presidential chair, tho temporal
power expires, and a new constitution govern
ment Is formed in Romo upon the basis of universal
suffrage.
ILF Ttie Spring races over tho Alacon course
will commence next Tuesday.
(ft* None of the notices, that we have seen, of
Mr. Meredith's mental powers, do him so much
justice,as tho following extract from a Philadelphia
letter recently published in the New York Herald.
It is evidently the bold criticism of an honest man,
who was capable of appreciating intellectual char
acter, and who knows how to convey Ids ideas in
appropriate language t
"1IU acquisitions are universal, and a|way«
ready at hU command, for practical application.
What he knows not he can acquire at a glance,
aa it were, by intuition. In this respect he U a
wonderful man, far above any tnan we havohere.
If he U deficient et all, it may bo that be lackc
the power of continued application to one thing,
and U indispoeed to make preparation for the ex
hibition of any subject, elaborately, from iU first
principles to its ultimate results, and tliat with
unshaken confidence in hU power, which never
forsakes him, he may depend too much upon it
to meet emergencies as they arise. If this be so,

present, and adapted to the wants of our country
and to its augmented and augmenting relations
with the whole world. lu ono respect, he U the
very opposite of Walker, the Into Secretary; for
Walkers wholo force Uy in Id* faculty oT pro
tracted application to one tiling; whereas Mere
dith owe* every thing to an intuitive faculty of
universal insight. A subject but passes before hU
mind, and it u at once setied, made its own, and,
as it were, fused into it. Meredith U a man of
no pretensions or assumptions; has an off-hand,
familiar manner, accustomed to appear at tlie bar
bare with the mightiest of cases, ana arguing them
with a power unparalleled, without even a note.
Instinctively commanding little respect for ability,
those who know him not have but little rever
ence for his power. It is not until there Is a ne
cessity for its display that you perceive it, and
then you are taken by surprise. . I know no man
in the country who unites the same momentum
of mind witli tho samo dexterity."
A Scientific Dispute.—Mr. W.C. Bond, of
tho Observatory of Cambridge, claims to have in
vented the instrument called the magnetic sidereal
clock, for which Congress has appropiiated $10,
000 to Professor Locke, of Cincinnati. Ho says
that he invented and made a drawing of it last
summer; that he showed it to Air. Bache and Mr.
Sears C. Walters, and tliat tho latter went to
Cincinnati. and communicated it to Professor
Locke.

Let it suffice to observe there is a good road prac-
ticable for all kinds of vehicles from ono point to

provisions can be purchased at reasonable rates,
consisting of Corn, flour,onions, beans, dried peas,
Kef, mutton and vegetables. Supplies can be
ibtained at Donana, sixty miles above El Paso on

ney in 1846, leading past the copper mines near
U<e head waters if the Gila, or othcrawhich avoid
entirely the Mexican territory. From tlie Rio
Grande to the cwuth of tho Gila Is according to
the report of Geitral Kearney, GOO miles, through
a country cultivated bv irrigation, by the Penos
Indians, who rake crops oi rhuri,corn and rage-*
tables. Between tho inoutli of the Colorado into
which the Gila implies, rand San Diego on tho
Pacific, extends the Dewrt of 60 miles which
separates the Gu'Jof California from tho Pacific.
Whatever point of destination is desired upon
the Pacific,It is uost important first to establish
tlie proper route from the Atlantic coast to tho
Rio Grande.

Man Overboard.— 1 The Boaton jitlae of. the
22nd aaya: "The barque Roman, from Savannah,
which arrived at this port yesterday morning, re
port tliat Air. John O’Connor, r passenger jump-
cd overboard, March Jltb, off Cape Hatteras, in a
tcinpoary fit of Insanity, and was drowned.
Every effort was made to save him, but without
avail.
(ft* The Columbia THegraph, to referring to the
81avery “agitation,” says—
" The mocemenl hoM commenced, and must and
will go on; and the pertinacious flies who *U on
the chariot wheel to.the vain hope of arresting its
progress, must either abandon their position or
be crushed beneath its rcvclution. Hence we would
treat the Augusta Chroucle and 8avannah Repub
lican—as my Uncle Tost did the bussing blue-
botito—by opening the window for their escape
from a position at once dangerous to themselves
and disagreeable to others.
" We care not to impugn their motive*—but
their course is unwise, unjust, and unpatriotic—
We trust they may soon see tho error of their
ways, and keep up 'a fire to front’ instead of ‘in
the rear.*"
Hold, most noblo Festus \-Ede. Rep.
Follies or ths Wus.—In his funeral oration
over the Prince de Conde, the hero of Rocroi,
Bourdalono give* utterance to a remarkable
thought on the follies of the wise, or rather errors,
which in the wise are neither more nor less than
follies. "There is not,” he lays, "a luminary to
the heavens, which docs not sometimes suffer an
eclipse t and the sun, which is the most splendid
of them, suffers the greatest and most remat kabls.
Two circumstances to these particularly deserve
onrconsideration: one, that, In these eclipses,
tho sun suffers no substantial loss of light, and
pursues his regular course; tho other, that, during
the time of the eclipse, the universe contemplates
it with most interest, and watches its variations
with most attention."
"Insanity a Cause or Divorce.”* We are
glad to perceive (says the Richmond Repub
lican,) that tlie New York Legislature has
declined to pass a hill making insanity a cause
of divorce. The demoralizing tendency of such
a measure is evident at a glance. As the Balti-
more Sun remarks, its tendency would have been
to relieve those of the stronger sex, upon whom
restraints of passion and caprice sit heavily, from
duty and fidelity, while the weaker, which al-
ways clings the more closely to sorrow, would
have been the only victims of such a barbarous
Bud iuiiuman enactment. We wonder that such
a monstrous proposition could ever have been
entertained for a moment in a civilised and Chris
tian community.
New York seems to bo tho fovorite theatre of
experiments in legislation, but there are some ex
periments which may be tried at too severe a cost
of private virtue and domestic happiness.
The Barr Routs to Califobnia.—A gentle
man in this city who is connected with the Ar
my, has furnished us with the following Report
upon the cheapest and best route to California,
drawn up by tlie gentlemen whose name* arc ap-
pended to it. It will be seen that they recom
mend the overland route, starting ftom Austin in
Texna. Their opinions are worthy of attention,
as they aro personally familiar with the country
through which the proposed route pasera. We
do not give the Report entire, the subjoined ex
tract being sufficient to explain the advantages of
the overland route:

"From Austin, the route leads up the cast bank
of the Colorado river, keepingthe divide between
the waters of that stream and the tributaries of
tiic Brazos, to a point three miles above tho inouth
of the San Saba, 95 miles; where there is an ex
cellent crosetog. Thence bearing a westerly di
rection between the Sin Saba anu Concho rivers
to the head waters of the main or south branch of
the latter, near ninety miles over a gently undu
lating musquit prairie, interspersed with timber
and Intersected by numerous small streams
From tho head waters of the Concho to the cara
van crossing on the Pecos, in a south of west
course, avoiding tlie head of Devil’s river and its
mountains. From the crouing of the Pecos, tlie
Presidio del Norte lies southwest 1G0 miles—by
the road travelled by. Connelly's caravan in 1837
and 1840, and by Campbell’s party in 1847. Tlie
reports of these different parties all agree tliat the
entire route from tlie Colorado to tho Rio Grande
poasoa over a rolling country, having an abund
ance of wood, woter and grace. In proof of the
feasibility of what is advanced, the great Ca-
nrnnche trail to the Chihuahua territory, bears in
nearly a direct line, S. W. S., from tlie Clear fork
of the Israzos river, to tho Rio Grande forty miios
below Presidio del Norte.
"Paso del Norte lies nearly due west from the
crowing of the Pecos, 130 miles: a road striking
the Bin Grande opposite Elcazario, twenty miles
below El Paso would avoid all the mountains and
passover a level table land. An abundance of wa
ter can bo luul by keeping along the Urge tveet
branch of Pecos, which empties into it a short
distance above the creasing.
Another route from Austin to the head-water*
miu-romi. i luunu oniy nun; anu irotu uio main
ridge or "divide." which haaa smooth soil, there
was no snow to be seeuon tie 91st January, on
the highest points in view. Df this road, the dis-
tnneo from the Rio Grande wis 839 miles to San
Dirjro, which haa a well known excellent liarbor.
"Tito road referred to in tfe above extract U
laid out and described to Cart. Emory's map,
published by tho Senate.
"Without designating any pobt, we offer the
rivera and aeacoaste of Texas as ^presenting ad
vantages peculiar to the State. Upon tlie routes
we havo designated, wood, water uid grass can
always be had to abundance. Tho feculiar qual
ities of tlie musquit grass ueed no dtscriptlon to
tho Tex Up, but to strangers wo wouln say that
this generous growth ofiiie prairies affords us'a
rich and nutritious substitute for all other pro-
vender; as well adapted to the highly bred
racer as to the patient and enduring ox. The
formation of the country is especially favor
able to the construction of a natural road,
which must become tlie great highway between
tho Gulf of Mexico • no the Pacific Ocean.—
With a climate of great salubrity andmlldnen,
a soil which supports the richest vegetation du-
e far west,
tl — r Age* to the
traveller, merchant and emigrant which cannot
be found combined on any other route. The free
air of the prairies bids defiance to tho diseases
. cr0 , w ^ c " »c*pOrts or pestilence breathing mar
shes of the Isthmus. Abundance of game pro
tect tee hunter from the dread of famine, cool
assuage his thirst, and scattered mots of
timber affords a grateful shelter from the noon
day heals.

Savannah, March 19, 1849.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors, the
following Preamble and Resolutions were phased:
Whereas, TheCnpitnl stock of this Company
subscribed is only $2,560,000, of which is paid in
the sum of $2,519,165, whilo the cost of con
structing amlcquipping the Road, stands upon
its books at $2,650,000, after having charged
account for depreciation or over cost, the sum of
$218,814 29, which has at various times been ta
ken from tho Reserved Fund or earnings of the
Company;
And, Whbrsab/There is still a Reserved Fund
of $160,861 25, of which at least $100,000 has
been invested in tho Rond and its equipments,
showing that the auin of $318,814 29 has been of
necessity taken from the Road earnings for went
of an adequate capital, instead of being .divided
among tlie Stockholders, a system, which to the
present condition of thing* should cease;
. And, whereas, this Board considers that tho said
sum of $2,650,000 at which Uio invoatment now
stands upon the books of the Company as below
the fair cash value of the Road and equipments,
without further additions to them;
And, whereas; the rapidly increasing business
of the Road has made it tho duty of this Board,

SAVANNAH MARKET.
COTTON.—Arrived since the 90th but, 13,380 bales
Upland (6,900 bales from Augusta, 1,492 from Darien, 5,584
per Rail-Road, and 14 per wagons,) and 637 do. Sea
(stand. The exports for the same period have been 11/179
kales Upland, and 596 do. Bes Island, viai to Llverpoo
6,407 belts Upland and 606 do. Sea Islands, to Glasgow
1,344 bales Upland, to Boston 561 bates Upland, to New-
York 9^71 bates Upland, to Philadelphia 199 balsa Up
land, to Baltimore 87 bales Upland, and to Charleston 350
bales Upland and 0 do. Sea Island—leaving on hand and
on ship board not cleared, a stock of 38,753 bales Upland
anil 3,161 do. 8v4 Island, against 36,100 bales Upland and
3,845 8#a Island* at same time last year.
The receipts since 1st September excegj thoee or last
year 130,330 bales, and the exports 140,300 bales.
ny reference to our tables, it will be seen that the total
receipts in the United States exceed those of last year
394,921 bates, and the exports .to foreign ports 905,391
bales. Three-fourth* therefore, of the increase has already
gone forward, and as no on* anticipates that the future
receipts of this year will equal those of the last, wa may
at all l(. 8. porta for tha week; this year aro 81,668 bales;
era lo bring their crops forward freely.
• At the close of our last weekly report the market wu
•o much unsettled that our quotations were almost noml-
mio iint uir piruun ui iuu irscs, invor
other outlays an investmentof $450,000.
And, whereas, it is. manifestly unjust to tho
R resent Stockholders, if it can be avoided, that
10 said expenditure (being for construction and
permament improvements, and a fir different
matter from repairs) should fnll on them by the
absorption of the earnings of their capital; in
stead of dividing the same, more especially so,
when the present investment is worth fully dollar
for dollar, the sum at which it stands charged $
And whereas, it is evident from the past and
present, that the road on its present footing, can
annually earn at least eight per cent on a capital
of $3,000,000, having earned 3 1-2 per cent on iu
present capital last year, and as so far tho ratio of
increase this year shows still belter things;
And whereas, when its capabilities are Increased
and its condition improved by the new iron, thus
lessening wear and (car of machinery, coat of ro
pairs, and expedittoff business, the ratio of nett
earnings must be.sull greater;
Resolved, therefore. That the Board suggests
the great advantage of, and hereby recommend
to the atqckholders an increase of the capital stock
of tiiis Company, whereby the p: oposed improve
ment of tho Road, and tlie new investment in
iron, may Iu- borne without absorbing the earn
ings of Uie Road'or its present means, and with
out foregoing fair and propor dividends of its
profits among present and future stockholders.
Resolved, Tliat thft Board recommend that the
anid increase of capital shall be to a total rf
$3,000,000, by the sate of, not less than par, from
timo to time, as maybe needed, of trunranteud 8
per e;nt. stock to the amount of $480,009.
Resolved, That ine foregong bo published in the
Gazettes of this city.
