AVF.I>.M;SDAY MORNING. APRIL 11, 1840.
Oo* Neither tho Wcatorn nor Northern mail had
arrived last night when the Poet-offlee closed.
Another Fbint.—The public is aware that we
have propounded certain qucationa to our moat
amiable nnd interesting neighbor, commencing
'with the 16th ult., nnd reaching down to the
present time, without receiving any thing in the
tthnye of an anawer. We have asked him repeat
'edly whether ho subscribed to Mr. Calhoun’s
manifesto or Mr. Cobb’s? If the former, then
how does he excuse the refractory “Congressman
ground docs he approve of the course of th« great
NulUder? And if Mr. cuss was right in with
holding his signature, because the address did
notpraise tho Northern Democrats and adust the
Northern Whigs, then was not Mr. Calhoun and
the forty-five Democrats who acted with him
irrong in giving it their sanction ? If Mr. Cobb’s
•course wns right for him, would it not have been
i iiflit for the others1 and if so, were not the latter
wrong for nut following his eccentric course?—
Bjtli cannot lu> right, while their positions are so
antipodal. If Mr. Cods pursued the proper course,
then Mr. Calhoun did wrong, but if the latter
was right, then "the distinguished Congressman
from the 6th District" committed an error in not
following him. As we remarked on a former oc
casion, wo wish to see the two addresses recon
ciled.
Instead of attempting to do this however, tho
Diitor now says, if we will agree to answer such
questions as he may ask, then he will answer such
os we propound ! that is, as one angry boy says
to another, “if you hit me, I’ll hit you—if you
knock this chip of my head, I’ll knock that off
yours!” But this feint will not answer his pur-
j<*?c. When he shall have replied satisfactorily
t<> the foregoing questions and placed himself in
on attitude to make such a proposition, then w*e
will lx- ready to return him an answer. Until he
does this, his position can be correctly defined
only by calling it a full and final backout.
Sons or Temperance.—Wo are indebted to
•oinc unknown friend for a Copy of an eloquent
Address delivered at La Grange,Georgia, to the
Sons of Temperance, by our old friend and ac
quaintance, H. II. Hill. 8ucccss to him and his
cause.
Nt sr.veii and its Remains. -We are indebted
to the publisher,Georoe P. Putnam, New York,
for the first volume of tills long expected work,
which may be had at the Bookstore of Mr. Coop
er. It isfrotn the pen of Austen Henry Layaed,
mill is devoted to an investigation of the Remains
of Ncncvch, with an account of a visit to thoCbah
damn Christians of Kurdistan, and the Yezedis, or
Devil-worshippers, and an enquiry into the man.
nerd and arts of the ancient Assyrians. The au
thor's long residence in the East, his familiarity
with the customs and habits of the people in an
cient and modern times, and his knowledge of the
inscriptions, monuments, &c. which still remain,
no irss than his acknowledged ability as a writer,
will give to his work a circulation only equalled
by that of Macaulay’s History. It will be found
interesting to tho Biblical student, as well as to
the general reader.
The Sable Melodists.—Wo refer our readers
ui the advertisement of these melodists. Their
performance is very attractive—the individual
artists arc well trained, and understand their
business. The soprano falsetto, and the basso in
particular, are excellent. We are constrained to
Bay, however, that the excessive and noisy ges
ticulations of the tambourine and the bones, rather
invade at times the sweetness of the harmony,
and we are not sure that Mr. Chambers did not
•< Jlat ” a little, once or twice. As these minstrels
have a celebrity, wo suppose they will draw, of
course.
The Condition and Prospect* or Georoia:—
Within a few years past the Stnto of Georgia ins
at one bound placed herself indisputably in ad
vance of any other Southern State in manufac
turing* enterprise and internal improvements.
Georgia is at this moment celebrated in every sec
tion of tho Uuited Slates for prodigious advance
ment in these respects, and her actual command
ing position is tho common theme of letter writers
and travellers. We have betwoen forty and fifty
manufactories with from 100 to 6,000 spindles in
each, in operation in this State. Our yarns and
cotton fabrics find markets in nearly every quar
ter Of the country from New-York to Tennessee,
Alabama and Mississippi. Our mines have been
partially explored,and we are producing superior
Rail-Road iron, castings, marble, lime, at a prico
so low that It is used in considerable quantities to
revive the worn-out lands of the State, and other
articles which we need not stop to mention. Com-
ing down on a freight train from Marietta to Atlan
ta the other day, wo noticod the following articles
of freight, to wit: corn in sacks, flour in sacks
and in barrels, wheat, iron-castings, domestic
goods and yarns, cotton in bales, lime and bacon.
A diversity of labour goes hand in hand with this
progress. The eternal fields of cotton, and nothing
but cotton, no longer appear in the up-country,
except to a limited extent. The cultivation of
that staple in the Northern counties will compar
atively cease in a few years, and be transferred
mote and rooro to the fertile bottoms of South-
Western Georgia. The hill sides in the Cherokee
region end middle Georgia are now smiling with
green crops of wheat and other small grains.
There are flouring mills, as the Etowah, the Le-«
bauon,Columbus, those in Clarke and elsewhere,
whete the wheat is purchased at a liberal price
and converted into flour, which has some time
since found its way to Atlantic markets, while
some has bocn exported from this port to Brasil
*kJ «Uiw Tl.w MIR-ln vt tt.ak.m
flour is now slmdst banished from this market,
and it has required scarcely a year to accomplish
the change! t)ne year the Ceutral Rail-Road
conveyed into tho interior 6,000 barrels of North-
cm flour. The year following It brought down
6,000 barrels of Georgia flour, tho upward cur
rent being completely turned; and it now carries
up none, unless it be the Georgia article which
travels back again, for consumption at various
points in the lower section of the State.
These manufactories and rail-roads have crea
ted home markets. They have at the same time
deveraified agricultural and all other pursuits.—
They give employment to the farmer, carpenter,
the mason, the tanner, the founder, the miner,
and in short to almost all who follow the various
and devious ways of human industry. The act
of the last Legislature relative to manufacturing
associations is on a level with the most enlight
ened specimens of legislation of this century.—
And yet, in surveying the present order of tilings
we ought not to forget how recently it has been
established. The act just alluded to was not
until a considerable amount of capital
waiting for investment in manufactories, was
driven away to onotherState. Only a few years
have elapsed since the Court was created for the
Correction of Errors, which has showered so
many blessings on the State. The causo of Ed
ucation still receives but a tardy and inmjgquate
support.. It is a cause which claims attention
loudly at the hands of our law-fivers.
The moral and physical influence of our Rail-
Roads in bringing about this new order of things,
is not sufficiently appreciated. The Up-Country
is now no longer a scaled book, but a scene which
before the traveller like a moving pono
raraa. The travel on the State Road has proba
bly quadrupled since it was opened to Dalton. It
will increase vastly more when it is completed to
the Tennessee River, and yet more when our
communications penetrate to the interior of Ten-
, The famine in Ireland gave to the State
Road extraordinary receipts from freights of pro
visions and breadstuff* in October 1847. In Octo
ber 1843 the freights were greatly increased, near
$3,000, without any extraordinary demand, and
it bos been estimated that when the Nashville and
Chattanooga Rail-Road is completed, the Georgia
Road will require four times its present locomo
tive power—a condition which will probably in
volve the construction of another track, unless the
Tennessee business be done chiefly in the sum-
Our great State work, has already paid
back to the Stato the cost of its construction in
the shape of a multitude of benefits, beyond the
power of calculation, and it is not a daring
prophesy to make that in less than twenty-five
years it will pay all the debt of the State—princi
ple and interest, and relieve her citizens from all
taxation. The fair and impartial management
of such a work should not be confided to the con
trol of any one man. At least two Commission
ers—one from the Not them and the other from
the Southern section of the State—or perhaps
three—anaiagous to the New-York Canal Com
missioners, should be appointed to its guardian
ship. That such a law is in an eminent degree
necessary, we shall undertake to prove hereafter.
Death or Mr. Cooke, th* Artist—The New.
Orleans Picayune of March 26th, learns ‘‘with
pain of the death that morning of Mr. George
Cooke, the proprietor of the gallery known by
his name and an artist of fine powirs. The
moral excellences of the character of Mr. Cooke
were singularly abundant, and be will be lament
ed by numerous friends in the North as well ss
New-Orleana."
We knew Mr. Cooke ourselves a few years ago
in Athens, in Ibis 8tate. He was 'then engaged
upon paintings for the gallery which he after
wards established in New-Orleant. His skill as
•n artist was equalled only by his urbanity as a
gentleman; and his death will not be more keenly
regretted In New-Orleana than in this Stale and
wherever ho was known—for “none know him
but to love him.”
Q.j* By a despatch to the Charleston Courier we
learn that tho Rhode Island election has resulted
as usual, in favor of the Whigs, but their majori

Calvin’s Church at Geneva—A traveller in
Switzerland writes from Geneva, “that the old
Gothic church where Calvin preached—the very
sound-board which re-echoed the discussions of the
Catholic monks with the reformers, is still in a
green old age. It is now the principal church in
Geneva, and 12 pastors of the city officiate in its

Tiib Cheat Bridob at Wheeling, Va—The
people of Wheeling are going on rapidly with
the construction ot their vast bridge across the
Ohio river, the span of which will be 1010 feet
and ita height above low water 97 feet, to avoid
obstructing the steamboats. It will cost about a
quarter of n million of dollars.
The River—In the twenty-four hours prece
ding tho evening of the 23th ult., the Mississippi,
opposite St. Louis had fallen about two feet, with
every reasonable prospect of a decline in the
water. For several days past, tho weather had
been clear and dry, and no high water in the up*
per .rivers had been heard of.
Steamboats on the Upper Lakes—The num
ber of steamboatson the upper Lakes up to tho year

• bouts—many of them of the most splendid dea
cription, and somo of 1000 tons burthen, besides
thirty propellers by stenra! Thu* it will bo

boat on these mighty inland seas. Who will at

^Resolved, That believing in the maxim that
“eternal vigilance is the price of liberty;’’ we
warn our Democratic friends to bo vlglant and
active; that tho Federal party, abandoning all
hope of success upon honest efforts, have resorted
to the most monstrous system of fraud which
has ever disgraced that party, blackened as are
their records with infamy. They have now in
tills city two separate publishing rooms, in one
of which documents arc prepared for the North,
representing Gen. Taylor as a “Wilmot proviso’*
man, nnd (ion. Cass as the advocate of tho exten
sion of slavery; in the other, documents are pre
pared for tho South which represent Gen. Cass
&s a “Wilmot proviso” man and Gen. Taylor as
the chaiupiou nnd interested friend of the exten
sion of slavery; they have iu circulation fourteen
different Lives of Taylor, representing him* as
ouo thing iu one and another tiling in another, suit
ing him to each meridian, and to every faction in
each meridian of the country; they have imported
into thiacity, ns public speakers, cowardly poltroons
and malicious tiara, whose oaths woula not be ta
ken in a court of justice where thoy are know*n;
they have chected on these infamous miscreants
in their statements of slander and falsehood; they
have scattered throughout tbo land the statements
ofono of their speakers in a private circular with
out a responsible name attached to it, too infa
mous to bo published in their organ in tills city,
or to be endorsed by a respectable roan; they have
falsi|pd history in thoir fruitless efforts to blacken
tho reputatiou of tho Democratic candidate for
the Presidency—a mah whose character the re
spectable portion of their party have acknowledg
ed to be above reproach; in their extreme necessi
ty they have been reduced to this. Let the
crush’d serpent writhe and spit out his venom,
ho U fnngless, nnd can do no burin.
Resolved, That we treat with contempt and
scorn the impotent and ridiculous threats of the
millions of Taylorism towards those officers of tire
Government who chose to exercise their rights as
citizens; that neither the threatened loah of their
master, the glitter of bis bayonets, the baying of
his bloodhounds, nor the bullying of his whip-
pere-in, can frighten or intimidate freemen.
Resolved, That the democratic papers through
out tho country be requested to publish these re*>
um»v «no peopre may bo apprized of the
frauds of the Fodcral party, and be able to detect
and expose them.
After having read the resolutions, Mr. Brown
supported them in a speech of great force and
scotching severity; anct the resolutions were im
mediately adopted, and three times three cheers
were given.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Patriot says I have before me, as I write this
evening, an official report of a “Democratic Moss
Meeting,” held in this city on the evening of the
27th of September last, in front of the Uuion
office, which report was published officially in
the Washington Union. Most of the officers of
the meeting were Government office-holders,
such ss Mr. Lund Washington, Jr., the Presi
dent, and Messrs. Towles, Davis and Seng-
stack, Vice-Presidents, and Mr. Ashford, one
of the Secretaries.
So also were Messrs. McCalla and Bbown,
the two leading orators on the occasion. I was
at the rocctingrin question, a looker-on, and mark

As those proceedings are of some interest just
now, I will hero give them, as they were pub

FUItTHER RY TIIE NIAGARA.
New York, April 7,8 p. m.
The Niagara arrived at Uo-rion, at eight o’clock
this morning. Tho markets are as quoted in my
despatch yesterday. The steamer Europa reach
ed Liverpool on the 20th. Tho propeller Sarah
Sands made her voyage out iu seventeen days.
In Parliament the Army and Navy estimates
were passed by a large majority. The public
mind was much unsettled in consequence of tho
threatening aspect of affairs on tho Continent,
and apprehension of reverses in India. This
iisd been carried tq such nn extent as to produce
an almost total suspension of business. Three
days before the Niagara sailed, howci'cr, news
arrived of a more favorable character from India,
nnd business assumed a more cheerful aspect.
The anticipated drain of bullion was not realized
and Cotton which had declined a farthing rallied
and regained an eighth. The stock on hand at
Liverpool was four hundred and eight thousand
bales, of which two hundred and nine thousand
were American.
Ireland is rcpiesented as being in a most de
plorable state. Pestilence nnd famine are making
awful havoo among the inhabitants, while the
most frightful murders have been perpetrated in
several places in the South and West of that ua
happy island.
The most cordial understanding exists between
France nnd England in regard to tho nffairs of
Italy. As a matter of precaution, and to guard
against contingencies that might arise in that
quurter, a number of troop* that had embarked at
Toulon for Algeria had been reculled.
William, the third son of tho late King of Hol
land, had ascended tiie throne.
_ Official notice had been given of tho termina
tion of the armistico between Denmark aud the
Duchy of Schleswig Holstein, but strong efforts
were nuking to proloug it for another three
months.
The war between the Imperialists and tho Hun
gsrians is carried on with relentless ferocity. The
Mnygsrs have adopted tho (guerilla system of war-
firu, »nd aro harrassing the invaders, by Inter-
ccptiqg their communications, and cutting oil
their supplies. Windischgratz was still remain
ing at Barra, and his neglecting to advance
shows the difficulties by which he is surrounded,
and tbut the war has only just commenced.
New Yore, April 7, 6 p. m.
The Crescent City arrived to-day from Havana.
The markets to-day have been dull, under the
influence of the nows by the Niagara. Cotton
has declined one-cight; Flour 61 cents per barrel;
Provisions have also declined. Sugars, Molasses
and Rice also quiet, and without change. Gov
ernment Stocks have advanced a half per cent.
Despatch to the Charleston Courier qf the 9th.
At a little before 12 o’clock last night, wc re
ceived a despatch^ giving us somo further par
ticulars of tue news by the Niagara, which is as
follows:
The stock of Cotton is 400,000 bales, of which
260,000 are American.
Pork wns in moderate demand. The best Mess
is quotedut 65 to 57.
Bacon is iu active demand, and forcortnin qual
ities a trifling advance has been realised.
Within fourteen days two hundred tons of Lard
have been disposed of, at s reduction of 6d. per
pound.
The transactions in Naval Stores have been lim
ited. About 600 barrels Turpentine have been
disposed of since lost steamer loft, good quality at
7s. to 7s. id.—ordinary quite neglected.
In Ireland it is said that the suffering is terrible,
and that the Cholera is committing great ravages.
The New-York Cotton Market, on Saturday,
was depressed, nnd dealers not disposed to operate
until the letters came to hand. Prices were down
fully one-cigth, with small sales.
Flour had also declined aboulone.eigth. Amer
ican Stocks had advanced one per cent.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
Ds. Locke’s Electbo-Maonetic Chrono
graph, and Mb. Bond’s MAONETicCLOck.—The
following is Mr. Bond’s invention os defined by
iiiinrelf:
“A sidrrial clock which shall make ita beats
audible in New-York, Washington, Cincinnati,
Ac., by iiisulatingcertain parts of the muchiner v,
and making the escapement itself the break-cir
cuit key of the Telegraphic wires.’’
.This arrangement docs not propose to subdivide
the second ol time, and requires the astronomical
observer to record bis observations as usual by
seeing and hearing a clock.
Prof. Locke’s invention as defined by Mr. Walk
er is .*
“A clock put in connexion with the telegraphic
wires and with the Morse register, ana which
prints tho hours, minutes and seconds on the fillet
of paper i and by on observer’s striking a tele
graphic key at the instant of an occurrence, the
dute of it is rccoided on the same paper to the hun
dredth of a second.*
The clock, the Morso register, witji ita fillet of
paper, and the observer with his key, may be
anywhere in tho circuit, separated thousands of
miles. The observer neither sees nor hears a
clock; he only sees the'event and touches a key
when n permanent and unerring record of the
observation ia made. All tiiis has been reduced
to practice by Dr. Locke through circuits of a
thousand miles of single distance and two thou
sand of conducting circuit.
Both Mr. Bond’s suggestion and Dr. Locke’s
invention were reporfoato Congrcssby Dr.Bnche
and by Coast-Survey Assistant Sears C. Walker,
commutdcnted by Hon. Secretary R. J. Walk
er, and published in Document 21 of tho last
s<«ion. Congress preferred Dr. Locke’s inven
tion, and uppropriulcd tho means of carrying it
into effect. It tins been adopted by tho Const-
Survey, and by tho National Observatory. Mr.
Bond may be disappointed, but has bo any renson
to complain? Dr, Locke's invention is new in
modo and in effeeto, while Mr. Bond’s is new only
in modo.
If Mr. Bond seeks to claim Dr. Locke’s inven
tion, because electrical interruption is used, ho
might on the same ground claim all torts of talc-
graphs andallsortaofclectro-inuguctic machines,
from Henry’s to Page’s, as they all work by inter-
ruptors. K.

Domestic Life.—Pleasure is to woman, wlia
the sun is to the flower; if moderately enjoyed, it
beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves—if im
moderately, it withers, it deteriorates, qnd de

of Georgia,
Savannah, March 19, 1849.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors, tho
following Preamble and Resolutions were passed!
Whereas, The Cupital stock of lids Company
subscribed is only 02,650,000. of which is paid in
the sum of 02,649,165, while tho coat of con
structing anil equipping tho Road, stands upon
its books at 02,660,000, after having charged
account for depreciation or over cost, the sum of
0218,914 29, which has at various times been ta
ken from tho Reserved Fund or earnings of the
Company;
And, Whereas, There is still a Reserved Fund
of 0160,861 25, of which at least 0100,000 has
beon invested in the Road and its equipments,
showing that the sum of $318,814 29 has been of
necessity taken from the Road esipings for want
of an adequate captai, instead of being divided
among tho Stockholders, a system, which in the
present condition if tilings should cease;
And, whereas, tHa Board considers that the said
sum of 02,650,0(M at which the investment now
stands upon the topics of the Company ns below
the fair cash value If the Road and equipments,
without further adtjtiona to them J
And, whereas, thi rapidly increasing business
of the Road has mido it tho duty of this Board,
Ob kit the manifest iitercstof the Company to meet
it by contracting fa 6,500 tons of rails, to relay
tho flat bar portionof tho track, involving with
other outlays an invatinentof 0460,000;
And, whereas, it'Is manifestly unjust to the
irosent Stockholders, if it can be avoided, that
he said expenditure t being for construction and
permatnent improvement*, and a far different
matter from rsroira) should fall on them by the
ahsorption of the earnings of their capital, in
stead o£ dlvldng the same, more especially so,
when thepresstfinvestment is worth fully dollar
for dollar, tho turn at which it stands charged;
And whereof it is evident from tho past and
present, that tin road on its present footing, cau
annually earn it lenst eight per cent on a capital
of 03,000,000, luving earned 91-2 per cent on it*
iresent capital kat year, nnd as so far the ratio of
ncrease this yar shows still better things;
And whereas,when its capabilities ate increased
and its conditim improvedby the new iron, thus
lessening wcarand tear of machinery, cost of ro
pairs, and expoliting business, tho ratio of nett
earnings must to still greater;
Resolved, thrtfore, That the Board suggests
the great ndvaitage of, and hereby recommend
to the stockholders an increase of tho capital stock
of this Company, whereby tho proposed improve
ment .of tho Read, and the new Investment in
iron, may be torno without absorbing the earn
ings of the Road or its present means, and with
out foregoing fair and proper dividends of its
profits among present and future stockholders.
Resolved, That tids Board recommend that tha
>id increase of capital shnil be to a total of
R 3,000,000, by the sale of, not less than par, from
tlmo to time, ns may be needed, of gunrnntccd 8
per cent, stock to tho amount of 0460,000.
Resolved, That the foregong be published in the
Gazettes of this city.
