' Tho Brunswick Project Once More.
• Wo announced our intention to nay no moro on
this subject, at least for tho present. Wo fcol that
wo trespass, somewhat, on tho patienco of our
readers, but there are two things in the article of
tho Courier of yestorday which wo will not suffer
to pass unnoticed.
In the first plaoo, wo published word for word,
in its entire integrity and without a word of inter
lineation, an extract from our Now-York corres
pondent touching this point, as thooditorof tho
Courier can ascertain by examining tho original.—
It is a perversion then in tho Courier to say that tho
editors of the Republican interpolated tho words
“slick a pin there.” This shallow device falls short
of its aim.
Ini the second place, wo cannot permit the editor
of tho Courier, supposing aa ho did that we would
say no more, to crow upon the idea that he had
Beared us from our ground by tho valiant suggestion
that, utterly contemptible .as our articles havo been,
a series of actions for defamation might bo brought
against us. To such matter os that wo havo only
to say, that we stand ready to moot judicial investi
gation With all who seek it. They who go to
law must go with clean .hands, and cannot work
in the dark. Wo havo complained of tho want of
light. It might bo possible, in court, to get a sight
of that contract which tho Courier promised to ex
amine ; it seems that othorwiso it is a scaled book.
A word in behalf of our Now-York correspondent.
Heisaneoredatbytho Courier as a hireling. All
irion are hirelings who for paygivo their personal
service, and thoroforo it is no reproach to bo a
hireling. But tho report of Simeon Draper, it
Boems, quotes Brunswick Bonds at 771, and because
it does so, our correspondent must need be taken
for a fool. It so happens that In Ml our examina
tions of tho report of tho Brokertf Board in New-
York, we have never soon these Bonds quoted
stall. It will bo recollected by our readers that it
was tho house of Simeon Draper which advertised
the Brunswick Bonds on account of the Company
last Jane, and which (according to tho newspapers)
sold them at about 73. Tho Brokers, who are
“Atreling#* of course, published only what their
principals authorised them to publish. These
Bonds were advertised in printed slips with a map
attached, and tho following representation was,
therein, made by the Canal Company:
“’i’he Brunswick Canal and Railroad Company
was chartered by tho Stato of Gooraia, in 1835.
which charter was renewed in 1851, with perpetual
privileges of a liberal character. The State tun
subscribed and paid $50,000 to the stock, and the
Company havo expended n capital of $475,000 on
the Canal, which Is all but bnishod; and tho pro
ceeds of the Bonds are to be applied to tbo pay
ments for the completion of tho excavations, and of
the building of the two locks, one at each terminus
of tho Canal. They will require no moro money
to fulfil all their engagements for pefectingtheir
works, which ore in active progress, and the Canal
Will be opened for traffic, on the 1st October next.
" Tho Altamaba. and its forks, tho Ocmulgee and
tho Oconee, with their numerous tributaries, afford
an inland steam navigation of ovor 1,000 miles to
Macon, Millodgevillo, and all tho great contra! cot
ton-growing regions of Georgia. Immense quan
tities of this staple, and of the vast supplies of ex
cellent pino lumber, which cover a portion of the
country, are wafted down these waters, but ore pre
vented a froe access to the Atlantic, by the bare
which obstruct the mouth of the Altamaha, in com
mon with all tho great Southern rivere. • * •
Recently our General Government surveys (see tho
reports of Captains Stockton, Sheburn, Claxton and
ethers, 1826 and 1837) pronounced it our only safe
and accessible Atlantic harbor, for large ships,
South of Virginia.”
Now, we submit it to tho judgment of our read
ers, whether this publication so made by this Bruns
wick Canal Company to sell thoir bonds, was fair,
truthful, candid or honest. The subscription by
tho Stato is mentioned as if it had recently been
made, when it was made and sunk years ago.—
The Oconee River has not had a steamboat on it
in ten yean or moro,and one cannot go to Millodgo-
ville. Cotton and lumber are not prevented a free
access to the Atlantlo by tho bare which obstruct
the mouths of all tho groat Southern rivere, except
the inlet to Brunswick. The naval officers, who
in 1836 examined the subject, did not report that
Brunswick was “the only safe and accessible At
lantic harbor for large drips South of Virginia.”—
They did, however, expressly state that tho "bar at
tho mouth of tho Savannah River is the deepest
and most accessible of any on the Southern coast.”
■We; ask if even the Courier, in its great zeal for
this project, would justify such a statement os was
madoto soll theso bonds.! And wo ask even the
Courier, if tho men who resorted to such represen
tations ate not justly and properly to be attacked by
a public journal of the city of Savannah ? And
wo oak the Courier what would likely bo the re
covery, ; in damages, in an action against ns for
such on attack 1 If there has been any slander in
this business, it was the Brunswick Company that
slandered Savannah to puff Brunswick.

Tho Observer also makes some extraordinary re
velations as to tho kind of morals provalont in the
Uncle Tom's Cabin school. In tho course of the
book, Mrs. Stowe hnd brought certain charges
against tho Rev. Joel Parker, D. D. mentioning
him by namo. Dr. Parker, feeling himself aggriev
ed, wrote Mrs. Stowe two notes on tho subject, to
neither of which would sho deign a reply ; but to a
third letter, she answered in a defiant tone. Finding
no other remedy, Dr. Parker at length made ar
rangements for a libel suit against Mrs. Stowe,
laying tho damages at $20,000. This was an ar-
gumentum ad rem; the fair authoress becamo
very pliant, addressed a noto to Dr. Parker, and
in an intenriew with him made acknowledgments
in part, but laid tho blamo on the nowspapere from
which sho had taken tho statements. Tho Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, tho brother of Mre. Stowe,
then stepped in to help his sister out of the difficul
ty, and soon after, throe letters appeared in tho N.
Y. Tribune and Independent, with tho editorial
arrangements of tho latter of which,Mr. Beecher is
connected. The first of theso letters purported to
bo a letter from Dr. Parker to Mrs. Stowe, asking
an interview; the second from Mrs. Stowe to Dr.
Parker, confessing that aho had wronged him, and
promising to make all proper amends; and tho
third from Dr. Parker to Mre. Stowe, saying that
if sho would allow him to publish her letter, he
thought that would bo all that was noeded to placo
him right in regard to tho unpleasant affair.
Wiih regard to theso pretondod letters, ‘ho Ob
server makes tho following astounding statements.
“Now. what will be tho surprise of every reader not
of the abolition schcol, when we ststo,nswo now doj
that Dr. Parker aaaurcs us that he never wrote one woi
of the above tellers, that he never signed his name to ono
of them, that he never authorized their publication, that
he was as much surprised as any one else could be, when
he heard that such letters were In the newspapers. The
Bev. H. W. Beecher called on him, and In his (Dr. Par
ker's) house, drew up certain letters, ns If between Mis.
8towe and Dr. Parker, and proposed to Dr. Parker to
adopt those In his name as his own; Dr. Parker Inform
ed Mr. Beecher that bo would take tho matter Into con
sideration, consult bis legal adviser,Into whoso hands he
had placed the business, and as he (Dr. Parker) had no
wish to obtain Mrs. Stowe’s money, but merely justice,
he hoped that by some suck mttkod, the whole matter
might bo settled. WUh this. Mr. Beecher look his de
parture, and shortly afterwards, tho letters quoted above
appeared in the Tribune and Jndeytninnt. Dr. Parker
R resumes (though he does not know) that the letters are
ie same which Mr. Beecher showed him in his house;
but Dr. Parker affirms that no Inducement would hare
led him to write or sign his name to such letters as thoso
ascribed to him, nor to accept of Mrs. Stowe’s aa satis
factory.”
Comment upon this is unnecessary,
The Crescent City and the Caban Authorities,
WeTeceivod tho telographio despatch contain
ing the news from Cuba, at so Into an hour on
Wednesday, that we had not time to make com
ment on it. Wo are disposed now to await the full
account of theafiair, for in all cases of insult to our
country or its flag, it ia best to know all tho facts.
If for the alleged sin of Purser Smith, the Span
ish Government has indeed undertaken to interdict
the landing of mails and passengers from the Cres
cent City, we view that undertaking as a violation
of Treaty engagements. If an order was given to
the master of tho steamer to depart from the har
bor of Havana, wo view such order as an irisult to
tho flag of our country. A gallant and accomplished
officor of our navy commands tho ship. Wo think
’there murt bo somo raistako in tho statement that
he was unceremoniously ordered off. But wo wait
tho full accounts.
Savannah the Best Abased Town in Christendom,
We find in tho Charleston Courier of yesterday,
a communication over the signature of Galen, in
regard to tho health of this placo, which surpasses
any thing in the way of slander wo have ovor seen
in print. The writer publishes tho following note,
which he says ho "received from a physician” in
Savannah:
Savannah, Oct. 6, 1852, 3 o’clock, A. M.
I hasten to Inform you of the rapid increase of yellow
fever in this city. Fifteen cateaand twelve deaths, I - ”"
last thirty hours.
Make what use of this letter you think proper.
It is hard, very hard, for one to preserve his tem
per when ho sees such a vile slander as this in a
respectable newspaper. We shall not trust our
selves to speak of it in tho terms it deserves, but
will simply say there is not ono word of truth
in the noto purporting to bo from this place.—
Wo furthermore call upon tho writer of it to come
forth, if indeed it was written in Savannah, and
make good his libel. Will tho writer come for
ward! Will Galen. *h« correspondent of tho
Oturier daro to give up his nnmo t It is all a con
spiracy to defame, to injure, and to slander this
community. We regret to say that tho Charles
ton Courier is partieeps eriminis. Tho oditorhas
suffered his paper to bo made the medium for utter
ing what he ought to have known was destitute of
all truth. Wo trust that the "physician” who con
ceived the slander—Galen who communicated it to
tho Courier—and the Courier which communicated
it to the public, will step forward and mako a clean
breast of it. They are all concerned in the publi
cation, and it is for each to relieve himself of his
complicity in tbo matter. Will they do it!
We predict that the note in question will turn
out to be a forgery.
The poison has already reached Augusta. Tho
Courier was received there yestesday afternoon,
and at 7 o’clock last ovening, ono of the editors of
this paper received the foltowing private dispatch
from a friend in that placo:
AUGUSTA. Oct. 7.
It is reported here that there have been twelve deaths
In tho last thirty hours from yellow fever In your city.—
la this a fact ¥
We replied, of coureo, that it was not a fact, but
a falsehood. There has not been a single death or
case of yellow fever in Savannah in tho time here
indicated. Tbo members oi tho Board of Health,
as well as ourselves, were diligont in making in
quiries all day yesterday, to ascertain if any now
case had occurred. Not one caso could bo heard
of any whore. This is the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.
It will be seen, by reference to our advertising
columns, that a mooting of tho Physicians of the
city has been called at uoon to-day. We are glad
they have acted thus promptly, and trust they will
not stop in their investigations until they ascertain
clearly the author or authors of this wicked and in
famous outrage. If there be a wolf in sheep’s
clothing among thorn, let him bo dragged to tho
light. Wo repeat, however, our belief that tho
wholo thing is a forgery.
—Since tho above was in typo, we have received
tho following report:

At a mooting of tho Georgia Medical Society,
on tho evening of the 7th inst., Dr. Arnold offered
tho following preamble and resolutions, which wore

Wo regret to state that a fire occurred at 10
o’clock last night, on the Eastom Wharves, which
completely destroyed the Eaglo Steam Saw Mill
belonging to J. Quantock, Jr., Sc Co, with a few
small out-buildings attached thereto. A largo
quantity of lumber was also consumed, and the
rigging and spars of the brig Rollerson, Captain
Baker, from Boston, much injured. Tho Rollerson
had just cleared for Boston with a cargo of 80,000

APuyat Oxford,
LONDON, SEPT. IS. >850.! '
^ JJimiWinni.-—No «tt*nger should pus
through England without a visit either to Cam
bridge or Oxford—seals or learning, which, for cen
turies, havo continued to send forth cultivated in
tellect, which has shod so much lustre on this
country, and cfoatod the gigantio monument of
British literature. Independent of tho many,at
tractions which thoso places, present, in the way of
architectural beauty, ancient relics, libraries, mu
seums, and galleries of art, the system upon which
theso institutions are conducted is, to Americans,
peculiar and novol. Thoy are, os it were, littlo
confederacies, formed of many colleges, each, in a
measure, independent, with its own governor and
officers, yot all united under one general govern
ment for the regulation of tho wholo system. All
theso colleges are, according to the manner In which
wo are accustomed to uso tho term, Universities;
yet, here, University is appliod to its collective ca
pacity only. Tho names and distinctions of tho
various ranks in theso Universities are not readily
understood by the stranger, and strike tho Ameri
can as decidedly absurd. Perhaps the greatest pe
culiarity Is in tho institution of fellowship and the
endowment of college livings. The former has,
doubtless, done much for the promotion of loiters;
but, whether college livings have been the means
of advancing morit and scionco, is vory questiona
ble. Though originally designed to insure a com
petency to talent, to enable it to labor in the fiold
of lottors,tho object, perhaps, is rarely accomplished,
and the charity of benefactors grossly abused; for,
instead of promoting literature, it has evor proved
an encouragement to idleness and dissipation. Tho
collego living is forfoited, and also tho privileges of
fellowship, on marriago—an objoctionablo feature,
os it is an inducement to remain in the bachelor
state—a state which is not much admired in this
Protestant ago.
I shall now give you a littlo sketch of my visit
to Oxford. 1 spent only ono day thoro; and, though
1 saw a good deal, yet to seo all, would require a
week or more. There are no less than twenty col
leges there, about oach of which there is plenty of
tho beautiful and curious. Independent of theso
colleges, however, there are objects which belong
to tbo Univorsity, in whioh all are alike interested
—such as libraries, museums, See. Whon one re
flects upon tho royal munificence which, for tho last
six centuries, has been lavished upon this Univer
sity, tho princely bequests of benefactors, and tho
contributions which have so long blessed Oxford,
ho may justly look for on accumulation thoro of
tho mo6t invaluablo treasures. In this respect, a
visit will not disappoint him.
Tho materials of which theso buildings ore com
posed ore generally tho same—and it is unfortunate
that thoy could not have boon better. Tho Mono
is of a soft and crumbling, character, which is ill
adapted to stand tho touch of tho iron hand of
Time. Tho exterior of theso noblo edifices now pre
sents n very ragged appearance—looking much
older than moro anciont structures. The most im-,
portant collego is Christ Church, founded undor tho
auspices of tho illustrious Cardinal Wolsey; and*
on entering tho immenao gateway, undor tho high
tower, into tho spacious court, tho oyo is attracted
by a tftntuo of that venornblo personage, in a niche
in tho wall on tho right. Tho college hall is
striking and magnificent. It is considered unri
valled, as a refectory, by any room in tho kingdom.
Another interest about tho room is, that it is tho
apartment in which royalty has always been en
tertained while visiting Oxford. Around tho walls
hang tho portraits of many distinguished charac
ters, nearly or quito all of whom have bcon indebted
to tbo college for their lenrning and eminence
Tho library is vory extensive—contains, as the
librarian informed me, 130,000 volumes—tho room
fine, with the most exquisite stucco ceiling I ever
saw. In the picture gallery, I loitered soveral
hours, enjoying " the feast of reason and tho flow
of soul,” amid some of the choice productions of
tho old masters—Raphael, Guido, Correggio, Ti
tian, Tintoretto, &c. This gallery soems, with few
exceptions, to be devoted entirely to Italian art and
copies from tho Italian. Among the paintings
which especially pleased mo, I remember several,
viz: Interior of St. Peter's, by Panini; a Madonna
and Child, by Raphael; a picture representing
Rebecca at the Well, and Abraham's servant pre
senting Bracelets, by Guido ; a Butcher's Shop, by
A. Carncci; a head of Medusa, by Rubens, and
the Last Communion of St. Jerome, by Domeni-
chino. In tho entrance hall to tho gallery nre
some finely sculptured busta, by Sir Francis chan
try, tho Senior Bacon, and Rysbrach. 1 was par
ticularly struck by ono of Goorge III, by tho second,
and a couple of Georgo I and II, by the last. The
collection of paintings which 1 saw at tho Christ
Church gallery is tho finest I have seen in the
kingdom. Tho English are great patrons of tho
polite arts, and I doubt whether any portion of tho
world offers moro beautiful specimens than may bo
seen in England, where they have boen brought by
the wealth of the nobility, collected from all parts
of Europe.
I visited almost all the largo Colleges, with their
fino gothic chapels—“Queen’s,” "All Soul’s,**
" Merton,” " Now,” " Magdalen,” &c. Tho last
has decidedly tho finest grounds. " Mandlin’s learn
ed grove,” as a poet called tho rich and deep wood
near Magdalen, is a classical retreat. I strolled
along tho avenue styled "Addison’s walk”—a
walk certainly vory romantic, and highly adapted
to the peripatetic student. Tho great library of tho
Univorsity, which is opon to all graduates of tho
Colleges, is tho celebratod Bodleian, which was
founded by Sir Thomas Bodley in tbo latter part of
tho sixteenth century. I was informed that it con
tained somo 250,000 volumes. A vory interesting
collection oi relics is shown there, in tho genuine
ness of which ono can placo moro rolianco than in
those which may bo seen in many places. A largo
gallery of portraits is connected with tho library, in
which may bo seen some of the best of Sir Peter
Lely, Kneller, Vandyke—two by Sir Joshua Rey
nolds, &c. A portrait of George 3d in his corona
tion robes, by Ramsay, is vory striking, and a fin
ished picture. In portrait painting, few artists are
as happy as Ramsay and Lely—at least according
to my fdney. I am no connoisseur, you know, but
I express myself as my taste and limited oxporienco
dictate. I can tell whon I am pleased and when
displeased. I am not writing for posterity, yon
must remember, but merely dropping my passing
impressions on paper; and, if tho critical sages
should snarl, I’ll jump up and confront them with
that celobratcd address commencing-
u You’d scarce expect one of my age.— 1
It being vacation season, the Colleges were almost
a solitude, and looked moro like old deserted pal
aces than anything else. I had a very good and
intelligent guido from tho Angel Hotel—of course
ho ought to havo been all right—who “ pu; mo
through” in fino stylo. He is quite a classical
blade, and discourses bravely on tho beauties of sci
ence and art. History is a mere baublo with him,
and ho talks of Henry VIII, Queen Bess, King
James and Charles, and Queen Anne, os though
they were his school mates. I should highly recom
mend him to any who proposo looking at Oxford,
for men of his stamp, liko all visitants from tho
angel place, are “ few and far between,” aa tho poet
tolls us.
Among tho many architectural ornaments of tho
town, tho Radcliffo Library building is peculiarly
conspicuous. The u Martyr's Memorial" is a gem
of a monument. Near the spot of its erection per
ished Cranmer, Latimer' and Ridley—victims to
bigotry and religious fanaticism. It is an entirely
now structure, raised within a very few years past.
Tho town of Oxford, liko all English towns, ia
quite nico. It is situated iu a quiot valley, with a
picturesque and undulating country surrounding it.
In looking down Irom somo neighboring hill, Ox
ford pri >nts tho appearance of a city of palacos, so
numerous are her fino hails, colleges and public
buildings. It’s Mayor, you remomber, is quito an
important peraonago, and during tho coronation of
English Sovereigns occupies a rank noxt to tho
Lord Mayor of London. From time immemorial,
Oxford seems to havo been a pot of royalty—tho re
cipient of princely favor, for which England and
Englishmen and the world, should bo heartily grate

ish nation, to tho amount cf £700,000, or nearly
$3,500,000. Tho pension will continue to bo paid to
the Duke’s two next mail heirs,who also inherit his
largo ostatoa and his titles; but most of his offices
and emoluments are to bo scrambled for by the
nobility and others; and rich prizes they will bo
for tho disposal of tho ministry.
The new Dnko, at the time of his father’s death,
was at Frankfort, whence ho was immediately
summoned. Ho has hitherto homo tho titlo of
Marquis of Douru, and until tho last election ho en
joyed a soat in tho IIouso of Commons as mombor
for Norwich. Ho is 45 years of ago, and bears a
considerable, although not a striking rosetublanco
to his father. Ho has never token any prominent
part in public affiant nor is ho likely to do so. Tho
Duko’s second soi, Lord Charles Wellesley,
was with him at the timo of his death. Ho is 44
years of ago, ond has a seat in the House of Com
mons os member for South Hampshire.
Tho lato Duke’s personal habits were extremely
tomperato, if not abstemious. He slept littlo, and,
whethor from old military associations or for
health’s s&ko, used a hard mattress and camp bed.
He appoarod to avoid display in his dress, equipage
and attendants, preferring horso oxerciso to tho
state and luxury of a carriage, and even when In
creasing weakness rendered it a task of some diffi
culty to sit erect upon horseback, day after day ho
was still to bo seen ambling slowly down to tho
Houso of Lords, ttjuching his hat to tho crowds
assembled round the ontranco to catch a glimpse
oi tho veteran warrior. His household was said
to bo a modol of i^ood order and good manage
ment. He incurred no dobts ; punctual and pre
cise in all his dealings, he was nlways just, and fre
quently, though prWately, gonorous. His Water
loo banquets, which for many years drew around
him his surviving companions in arms in his last
glorious field, were the only exceptions to his usual
indifference to display. On theso occasions only,
tho massivo services, of plate and priceless china,
pictures, statues and all tho other favors, honors
and presents which h»d been conferred upon him
by tho sovereigns of Europe, were not inappropri
ately displayed.

tion or our distant readers, wo would slate, that our'
large receipts or I0<073 bales, against 07.360 bales at Uio
samo timo last year, are no criterion of the extent of lbs
crop, as this year all the tributaries of the Mississippi are
oncu to navigation, while last year our receipts were ex
