BT TELEGRAPH FOR TUB REPUBLICAN.
Wo received (ho following deapatch from our
triaoda of the Alacon Journal $• Messenger at 4}
o'clock P. M., jeeterday.
*fho aevere froat on Sunday and Monday night
destroyed the Cotton, Wheat and Corn cropa, and
alao the fruits and vegetable*, in middle and upper
Georgia and Alabama. From one-half to three-
quartern of the Cotton was up, aud there is no teed
- to replant. Tha dealt-uctiou to general and we fear
>cry disastrous.
09- We are again without a mail beyond
Charleston, the Wilmington boat not having.ar*
i toed when the Savannah steamer left. The fail
ure to connect it attributed to the late snow atorm.
Transportation on th* 8tatb Road.—We
refer our mercantile and other readers to the ad
vertisement of E. R. Mills, Eaq., Superintendent
of Transportation on the State Rail-Road.
This advertisement transferred to the outside
will nearly carry out our original intention of
presenting ail our lines of communication. The
addition of two of our packet lines to New-York,
would make it complete for reference in moat
Reading Rooms of the Northern aud Middle
fitates—as well as in the South West.
Tbavbluno to Cosa.—As we are in direct
communication with Cuba at this time by the
steamer Isabel, and more or less interrstod in the
commerce and prosperity of that Island, we take
much pleasure in transferring to our columns the
article from the Charleston Mercury on the sub
ject. It will he found to contain important infor
mation to persons travelling thither, and to own
ers and crews of vessels.
Haas Alsxandsr.—We ere enabled to state on
tbs authority of a gentleman in this city, who is
^personally acquainted with Hess Alexander,
that the individual lately in this place who paaaed
himself off as the original magician of that name,
fa an impostor—at least so far as the use of another
man's name is concerned. We suspected es
ntuch, and therefore refrained from saying any
thing commendatory of him, though we were
not certain of the fact.
Dbmocbatio Candidate roa Govbbnob.—A
writer in the last Southern Banner commends to
tha Democrats the names of Col. John H. Lump
kin, of Floyd, and Major Jas. F. Cooper, of
Lumpkin.
••The Swoeo."—A writer in the Charleston
Mercury says: "Let the insulting and insuffera
hie aggressions of "Free Labor" end "Free
Boilers” be met with the sword, instead of stale
"Resolves” about our rights as guarantied oy me
.CenatUution, which they contemn and despise.'
The Wbathbe.—We learn from the Charles
ton papers that the snow storm on Sunday, and
the subsequent frost, extended throughout South-
Carolina as far as has been heard from. The
Columbia' Telegraph says "it was the severest
■now atorm" that had visited Columbia during
the past winter, and that the snow-fall was prob
ably much greater in the Northern part of the
State. It seems to he the general impression that
the crops have been seriously injured in all pat to
of the 8tate.
Chxap Postaob.—An official order from the
Post-master General has been published in Cana
da, directing that on and after the 15th inst., the
postage between the United Kingdom and any
part of British North America be 11 Id. sterling,
or thirteen pence currency, (a trifle less than
twenty-two cents,) on letters not exceeding half
an ounce in weight.
Lubbal Bequests.— 1 The Charleston tkening
News says: "Mr. John Horr, for many years a
resident of our city, and who recently died in
Philadelphia, has made the following liberal tes
tamentary disposition of his property:—To the
Methodist Bible Society of Charleston, $3,000.
To the Baptist Bible Society of Charleston, $3,
000. To the Bible Society of the Protestant Epis
copal Church, located here, $3,000; aod to the
Pennsylvania Bible Society, $3',000—the interest
to be enjoyed by his widow during the term of
her life; end after her death to be applied to the
above associations in the distribution jof Bibles.
"To the Mariner’s Church of this city $10,000,
and (o the Pennsylvania and other Colonization
Societies, $10,000, that shall succeed in establish
ing a colony of free colored persons in Africa, for
the purchase of a tract of land, and prescribes
that the site, location and territory so purchased
and settled upon, shall (be designated the Slate
or District of 'Iloff.' "
Cholera at Matamoros.—It is with deep feel
ing of gratification, says the Brownsville Flag of
the 4tb, that we announce that the cholera has
within the last few days nearly disappeared from
oar neigeboring city, Matamoros. There are few
placed Uui nave BunbieU au severely fioui Ure
dreadful scourge. The number of deaths is com
puted at about one thousand, which is about 25
per cent, of the population.
The Crevasse Above.-The New Orleans Bul
letin says: "We areaorry to bear that the cre
vasse which occurred ln*t Wednesday, at Eu-
OBNS Fortier’s plantation, alx miles above Car
rollton, still continues open, and is now threaten
ing the safety of all the plantations in its vicinity
When U first broke through, it was only about
thirty yards in width, but on yestorday at noon,
in spite of the most strenuous exertions, the breach
had increased to over two hundred and fifty yards.
The "back water" has spread up and down the
coast for a distance of nine miles, and now presents
an unbroken sheet, from the rear of Madam Mari-
cot's place to tbo rear of Lucian Lasbanche’s;
and as the break is still open, it is reasonable to
expeet that much more damage will be done. So
for, cane, equal to a crop of two thousand eight
hundrod hogsheads, has been ruined."
Proscription.—'The Alexandria Gazette has
this pertinent paragraph:
Under the head of the "right spirit," the Penn-
S Iranian records with exultation, the fact that
r.Commiasioner-of-the-Patcnts,Edmund Burke,
"iaimod an official adverttoment dated March
11th, and ordered it to be printed in so me. ten
Democratic pa pert, and not in one IVhig paper.••
And yet, when this man, who thus to the last, ox-
crcises his power, to the proscription of his politi
cal opponents, and uses his official patronage
solely for the benefit of bis own party, lo the en
tire exclusion of the other, is removed from office,
ho will be set dorm as another martyr ! u
Moat About Plank Roads.—As we expected,
the 8outh, at least one por tion of it, has taken an
onward spring in the adoption of Plank Roads.—
The people of Fayettevillo, N. C., were required
to subscribe, according to Uie estimate, $80,000
for a Plank Road of considerable length, termi
nating In their town. The sum of $90,000 was
subscribed at once, and the Road is commenced.
We have lately conversed with a gentleman just
arrived in this 8tate from the interior of New-
York, whet a he has seen and travelled over some
of the Plank Roads now so numerous in that re
gion. His statements confirm us in the opinion
already expressed, that there is more advantage
to the best interests of the State of Georgia, to be
derived from the construction and use of Plank
Roads, than their most sanguine advocates have
dreamed of.
Moat of tbrf Roads with which our informant
is acquainted, are 12 feet in width, and have only
coat $900 per mile. The grading required, ac
cording to his statement, is a rather slight affair
when Uie Road is properly located. Aaa conse
quence, every Road thus far built, has paid heavy
dividends from the moment they have been open
ed. in the forming of tho Road bed great care la
taken to bavwit deeply ditched, ao as to be well
drained, and to insert all the culverts required for
this object. The earth takeu front the ditches is
thrown upon the Road, and then levelled, after
which the Planks are laid down perfectly even,
and without any stringers or rice perm under them.
They answer very well without them where the
drainage is good, and this materially diminishes
the first cost! Probably in the worst situations,
two planks used as sleepers, and laid lengthwise
would be amply sufficient. A Road of 12 feet
width, allows the heaviest wagons, when two
Uiect, iu keep all the wheels on the track—tlie
lightest one turning off with the outside wheels.
A farmer who lives near Clinton, twelve miles
from Utica, told our informant that prior to the
construction of a plank road between those points,
it took him (when tho roads were bad) from three
o'clock In the morning till after night foil to carry
one barrel of potash to Utka with two horses and
return home with a corresponding load. On
the plnnk road he hauls nine barrels of pot
ash, with the same horses, starting at seven
to eight o'clock in the morning, and arriv
ing back in good Reason. Here ure some of the
-reasons why formers like plank reads. They use
their own teams on them, and save quite enough
in the tripe to pay tolls, and generally more Uian
enough. If the roads made of Uie miserable hem
lock used in New-York can succeed so well, what
may not bo predicted of our Georgia pine planks,
laid dowu in a couutry not half ao impracticable
for transpnrtAUon, as is the Northern country,
owing to the rains and freexing and thaws during
so many months of Uio year. Our informant
drove a liorse and buggy over the twelve miles
from Utica to Clinton in one hour and a half,
with perfect case, but he had occasion to go three
miles further aud then come back again over a
common road in bad condition, and be was'(Arc*
I tours in doing the whole six miles. This experi
ence shows what plankroads are, and it will cost
but UtUe to begiu Uie first road in this State
right, by bringing out from New York some Sur
veyor who is accustomed to the location of such
roads and who can introduce tbo machine used
in getting out the lumber.
We do not suppose, reasoning from facts in our
possession, that the plank road which is to be con
structed from Griffin to West Point will cost more
than 70 or $80,000 at the outside, and we know
of no people more in want of one of these roads,
or more to be benefitted by one, than tho wealthy
planters and manufacturers of the fine county of
Upson. The Macon A Western Rail Road makes
such a bend towards Thomaston—the county site
oi Upson, that that place is only fifteen or six
teen miles distant from Barneaville. The coun
try is ao level that the preparation of a road Jbcd
would be a trifling affair. Probably the coat of
such a road would he $8.nOU to $9,000—and the
t.——- r— «• ho »i-r» larir* This in
about one-twenUeth of wbat a Rail-Road between
those two points would cost, while it would be of
for more utility than a Rail-Road.
We have now laid before our readers all the in
formation that has come under our notice on the
subject of plank roads. We shall procure more
and publish it. The people of this State sliould
know all about (be matter before tho assembling
of the next Legislature, and it will not be oty*
fault if they are not well advised. AU we urge
at present is, that people should reflect seriously,
and arrive at their own conclusions. Sober and
enlightened reflection will make friends to plank
roods fast enough.
Steam Boat Mail between Philadelphia
and Charleston.—We have been favored with
the following letter from the Post Muter Genet-
al, in relation to a Mail transportation by the
Philadelphia steam boats between that port and
our ownCourier.
••A. IV. Thompson, Esq., President of the Phila
delphia and Atlantic Steam Navigation Co.:
"Sta:—I have considered the application for a
Mail lo be carried by steam boats between Phila
delphia and Charleston by sea, in the manner now
dono between New York and Charleston, and
have come to tho following conclusion:
" The Now York steamers were first tried with*
out a Mail, and their speed and tima fully ascer
tained by experiment. A Mail waathen allowed,
and eighty dollars for each trip out and bark wu
agreed to bo paid. This waa uot done merely for
the merchants, or city of New Ybrk, but it was
granted, and is continued, because thereby Uie
Northern section of tho country, inUrantely con
nected together, and with New-York by Rail-
Ronds, to furnished weekly with a Mail communi
cation, fifteen hours in advance of the land Mail,
with the Southern section united in thesame man
ner. With tlie same view Uie Philadelphia appli-
cation should be cutertnined, provided itbe annum-
aged as to have the Philadelphia time of departure
and arrival a different day of the weekend about
midway between tha New-York daya. Thto
would seem advantageous to both owners and the
community, tail would make a aemi-weekly line
but w ecu these two sections of country. It may he
understood, that when experiments shall show
that Uie Philadelphia steamers inako the degree of
speed to justify the proceeding, a Mail willhe al
lowed on the same terrfis, now allowed to New
York—provided the departure and arrival to made
to altemato with that of New-York.
Very respectfully, Ac.
J. COLLAMEH, P.TW. General.

The Race or Improvement.—We quote the
following from one of the late money articles in
the N. Y. Herald:
"The Augusta (Ga.) Cotton Manufacturing Co.
have realised a profit of four per cent, on their
capital within the last three months, notwith
standing no more than three-fourths of the ma
chinery of the establishment has been fitted for
work. A dividend of three per cent, on the last
quarter’s business baa beendectored, and a surplus
retained to meet contingencies. The stock of the
company to above par in the market. This to the
way the 8outh to going ahead in Uiis branch of

Great Names.—A Northern paper states that
George Washington was tried in Buffalo, a few
dnys since, for an attempt to kill Win. Henry
Harrison. Both these gentlemen, though not ex
actly the shades of the great departed were of a
shady complexion.
Dissection or an Elephant.—The enormous
elephant recently shot at the Zoological Gardens,
Liverpool, after a vain attempt to poison him with
two ounces of prussic acid, was subsequently dis
sected. At the first plungo of the knife into the
cavity of the stomach, the gasses in the interior
exploded with a sound like that of a six-pounder.
The poison appeared to have produced no effect.
Such waa the size of tiro beast, that his skull was
capable of holding three full grown person*.

other uitlays au investment of $450,900;
Anil, whereas, it to manifestly unjust to the
R resent Stockholders, if it cau bo avoided, that
10 said expenditure (being for construction and
pcruuuncii improvements, and a fur different
matter from tapuirs) should full on them by Uie
absorption of 0»e naming* of their capital, in
stead of dividing tlie same, more especially ao,
when the present iiveslinent to worth fully dollar
for dullnr, tho auinat which it stands charged;
And wherons, its* evident from tho past and
present, that the pad on its present footing, can
annually earn atienxl eight per cent on a capital
of $3,0(10,000, luting earned 9 1-2 per cent on its
f ircsent capital last year, and as so far Uie fotio of
ncrcosc thto yearshows still better tiling*;
And whereas, vJi-n its capabilities ure Increased
and its condition improved by the new iron, thus
lessening wear aa4 teat of machinery, cost of ra
pairs, and expoditfasr business, the ratio of nett
earnings must bestfll greater;
Itesolved, therefore. That the Board suggests
the great advnutugo of, and hereby recommend
to the storkholdeis an increase of the capital stock
of thto Company, whereby tho proposed improve
ment of the Road, and tlie new investment in
iron, mny be borne without absorbing Uie earn
ing* of the Road or its present incans, and with
out foregoing fair nnu proper dividends of its
profits among present anu future stockholders.
Resolved, That thto Hoard recommend that the
said increase of capital shall be to a total of
$3,000,000, by the sale of, uot less than par, from
time to time, as may be needed, of guaranteed 8
per cent, stock to Uie amount of $459,000.
Resolved, That the foregong be published in the
Gazettes of this city.
