■ TO THE] PUULlOi
A private letter from Washington city, datod 8th Inst,
t oUtes that there vu a report there that eorao coupona of
v Savannah Honda had been presented at the Phoenix
Bank, New York dly,and payment refused, “bocauao
that Dank had no funds to pay tho Interest.”
I beg to state thus publicly, a* the creditor our city
might otherwise be somewhat affected, that the City of
Savannah baa no fisoal connection with the Phmnlx
Bank? that the coupons or the Bonds payable In New
York olty are payable at tho Bank of Manhattan and at
tho CUyBank; that they become.duo In August and
February} and that the payment due in August laat was
provided tor at the time, to tho last cent due.
Whether this report originated in malice or in specu
lation, It la equally Impotent to affect the pecuniary credit
. or our City, and aa tho Presiding Offloer of the late Board
. of Aldermon, I have thought It my duty to expose it ac
cordingly. RICHARD D. ARNOLD, Ex-Mayor.
At the annual meeting of the Commissioners or Public
Roads of Chatham county held at tho Court House In the
city of Savannah, yesterday morning, 13th December,
1852, the following officers were elected for the ensuing
year, via: Dr.Richard Ways*, Chairman; O.P. Hsa-
bison, Vice Chairman; \V. \V. Wash, Secretary.
River and Harbor of Savannah*
■ Professor Bachb of tho Coast 8urvey, and Capt. Bow-
NAit add Liout. Gilmxr of tho Engineers, accompanied
by. a few other gentlemen, made an excursion In tho
- steamer Jenny Lind down the river y&terday, with a
- view to make some Investigations relative to the pro
posed river and harbor Improvements. The party loft at
11 o'clock A. M n and returned at nightfall, having gone
down to the buoys at the entrance of the harbor.
Although It could not bo expected that auy distinct
: principles would be established by a cursory examina
tion of this kind, yet it was deemed desirable after study
ing the maps and plans which Urn Commissioners had at
their disposal, to make aotno general observations, before
deciding on the character of the Improvements to be
recommended. As these gentlemen comprising UiU sci
entific commission have but Just commenced their Inves
tigations, It may easily be Inferred that it Is yet too early
to attempt to convey to our readers any distinct plan of
Improvement aa having received their sanction. We
believe, however, that they are pretty well agreed upon
the first step to be taken. It Is to purchase ono of the
excellent dredge boats now In common use, (cost some
- $16,000,) and commence by deepening the channel over
„ the Wrecks. No difficulty of any nature is apprehended
on this score. It la proposed to dredge out over the
Wrecks a channel at least two feet deeper than the pre
sent one.. When this la done, the water there will be of
the same depth as that at the three other shoal places
. lying between tho Wrecks and Tybee. In other words,
vessels drawing 17 foetwlU then find no difficulty in
coming to our wharves. Hence, vessels that now finish
•loading at “Venus’ Point,” will then finish off at the
wharves.
Tho regulation and control of the regimen of a stream
. Is a work of such groat delicacy, and Involves the con
sideration of so many nice questions, that beyond this
/ first step in the progress of amelioration, all else Is at
*V present Indeterminate. It is not certain, but It is proba-
' ble, that tho next operation will be, after reducing all
the obstructions to the same depth, to begin with deep
ening the lowest one, then the noxt coming up the river,
and so on, ending with a second deepening of the Wrecks
to correspond. Thus an Increased quantity of water
from the flood tide would be admitted, which, with the
• ’descending current, would exercise a continually lncreas-
’ fug teourinr effect. AH this work would doubtless be
connected with other operations above, to which it is not
necessary here to alludo. It may suffice to say, however
that not the slightest obstacle Is so«n in the way of im*
proving tho navigation of Back IUvor, or In the most re
mote degree Infringing upon the strictest construction
the treaty of Beaufort. The whole process resolves It-
’ eelf Into a question of tin* and money. And it maybe-
observed in passing, that tbe element or tima in the cal
culatlon,becomes more or less important, just In propor-
, tlon to the amount of science and skill brougbtto bear
upon tbe resolution of these nice problems. The length
of time occupied In Improving the Clyde lnBcotlsnd,and
otherrivers In other parts or the world, shows how im-
portant It Is when such works are once commenced, not
to look back, and how unfortunate for this particular
' Improvement was ti~ -'.sponsion of It by CoL Mans-
P)kld, alter hebsd fairly entered upon bis labors.
We presume that the officer In Immediate charge
the work, Luut. Gilhkk, will hand In an estlmale for
prosecuting the work noxt year; and It Is altogether
probable that another Internal improvement bill, em
bracing this estimate, will pan the present Congress.
Whether such bi Is will pass Congress during Gknbral
Fikkcb's administration, and whether, If they should
pass, they win escape tbe Executive veto, Is highly ques
tionable. Whatever msy happen, however, and what
ever other obligations the City or Savannah may assume,
we venture to assert one principle which should always
_,be maintained as of the first importance In all the future.
Once having embarked in improving our river and har
bor, we should never falter. If appropriations by Con
gress do not suffice, this city should Issue her bonds
cany on the work, looking subsequently to the justice of
Congress for reimbursement.
Look out for Robbers and Thieves.—A bold vil
lain entered a house in Liberty street yesterday afternoon,
and though questioned, insisted on going up stairs, as be
said, for bis clothes. Ittsanpposed that bis object was
to secrete himself and make a haul during the night.
On Friday evening last, an attempt was made by some
rogue, by reaching through a basement window in Csssel
Bow, to snatch some things lying on a table near by. As
we have some sharpen among us. it may not be amiss
to keep a sharp look out.

NEW.YORK, Dae. Meat
Tha Present* Bleeeage aad aooompanylrtg doco-
moots,” since my lari, hare constituted tha staple oT
newspaper comment, and tbe sat*** of general remark
elsewhere, ft Is too late to say any thing In commends
tlon of the Message,—for wherever there Isa press that,
Independent of the trammels of party, has bad tha man
liness to speak out, there it has met Its well deserved en
comium. Some of our City Journals, that went mad
shout intervention and other absurdities, when Koasimt
was here, carp at wbat was said In condemnation of the
schemes and prqjcots of that personage—but what of
lhatT Had these editors been caught saying a good
thing of Mr. Fillmore, tho world would have had Just
cause to suspect that something was wrong In the White
House. Praise of public men from such quarters, yon
know, always has an odor or suspicion about It that
rnakos It a matter of positive misfortune for those who
Innocently incur It; and so you will readily understand
me when I say that when aid or any sort, or for any
causo, or for any person, la wanted from thoso gentry,
their enmity before tha public Is uniformly preferred to
tbelr friendship. Tbo other pub. doe. have given tbe
newspapers a Job, that makes them grumble “long and
load.” Prolixity is certainly a very marked peculiarity
of the style of tho Secretary of the Navy. Tho P. M. G.
also ts too dtfflue,—but the other papers In point of
leugth, and in most other respects, are looked upon as
exceedingly able. At this writing the Treasurer’s Re
port has not yet made its appearance, but it ta anxiously
looked for by tho Money Kings In Wall Street, and by
other Interests at all concerned in tbe finances of the
country.

Wealth of the United State*.
A condensed exhibit of tbe most Important statements
contained In the Report of the Superintendent of the U.
S. Census, is by for the most authentic and satlsfecioiy
exposition ortho groat material interests of our country
which has ever been given. U might properly be called
the statistical history or the Interior,” and Is a produc
tion which does honor to the department which from Its
name and tbe peculiar duties assigned to it, may bo
considered tbe guardian and exponent of the hopm Inter
ests or the nation.
Among other tabloa published In the Report, we ex
tract the foBowing, which contains tbe valuation of the
real and personal estate of tho Inhabitants of the United
8tates for the year 1850. It will be seen that Georgia Is
the sixth richest State In tbe Union. New York stands
first, Pennsylvania second, Massachusetts third, Ohio
fourth,Virginia fifth, Georgia sixth and Kentucky seventh.
Of the 97,133,369,725, or property In the Union in 1850,
about 93,000,000,000 of It Is owned in the 8oulh. The
aggregate value at this time (1852) Including tbe Territo
ries, cannot be much if any leas than 910,000,000,000.

Of Paupara, the census reports only 134,973 as having
received public charily during the year preceding June,
1856, and only 50^53 aa actually receiving a subsistence
from the public on tho 1st or June In that year. Of these
nearly three-fourths (36,016) were natives. The aggre
gate cost of supporting paupers during the year aforesaid
was reported as only 82,054,806, whereof New York paid
9817,336, and Massachusetts 9309,765. Pennsylvania
ranks next, but disburse* only 9233,138 In publlo charity,
and New Hampshire fourth, paying out 9157,351. Vir
ginia and Maine are Just behind. These returns are par
tially Imperfect, as a great many of the Indigent are sub-

Tbe real and personal estate In the United 8tates and

with tbe year 1853,910,000,000,00a, and estimate the pre

is tending rapidly westward and southward—to the
milder slopes of the Alleganlea and the prairies of Illi
nois, Missouri, and Texas. New Mexico has six sheep
to each person—an extraordinary proportion. Bestorau,
the returns show that while in 1840 the average anmial
yield of wool was a little under two pounds per sheep,
It was iu 1850 near two and a half pounds per sheep, so
that 21,000,600 sheep produced in 1850 forty-six per cent,
more wool than 10,311,374 sheep did In 1840. An Increase
of 12 per cent, in the sheep hnd been paralleled by an in
crease of 46 per cent in tbe wool. And In Vermont,
where tbo greatest attention has been paid to sheep hus
bandry, tbo average yield per sheep is almost 4 pounds.

Cf Cotton, tho production continues largely to increase.
The product I* now over 3,000,000 bales or 600,000 tuns

Of Potaioeo, tbe product would seem to bare Adlen off
from 108^98,060 bushels in ’40 to 104,055^)89 bushels In
1850; and we presume this Is correct; tbo reason being
tbe effects and fears of tbe potato rot. This disease
would now seem to be passing away, and the culture of
the root consequently revivlmr.
Of Wine, the production is steadily increasing. Our
Importation amounts lo six millions of gallons per an
num; our consumption loot least twenty millions of gal
lons ; so that our borne production must be not far from
fourteen million gallons. Of ibis aggregate, it seems that
only 221,249 gallons are acknowledged In tbe census—

Tbe defeat of General Blanco by the French Count
Raoussct Boulbon is confirmed. The latter has pro

Tbe revolution Is progressing everywhere, but no

critical, and there la but little possibility of his receiving
assistance from tbe capital, General Maga, whose forces
now number nearly 4,000 men, bid been received with
the greatest enthusiasm by tbe people of Uuadalaxara.
Generals Mesla and De Valrdo, at the bead of 11000

Important prom Havana.—Ns/ssse of Capt. Gray.—
Private letters received at New Orleans, by the Ckcrokeo
from Havana state, that tbe captain and crew of tho
American clipper Lady Suffolk, Imprisoned on the charge
of having sold their vessel to slavers, have been released
by tho Captain General. Tbelr release caused much ex
cltement among the British residents, who assert tint
their Imprisonment was merely a formality to conceal tho
connecUon of Uie Cuban authorities with the slavers.
Seven or eight slave shlpa, with full cargoes, are dally
expected In Cuba from Africa, aud all the British vessels
of war are cruising off the Island awaiting tbelr arrival to
seize them. This Is said to bo the ntyect of so many
English vessels of war having collected at Havana.
A uew revoluUonary paper, caUed the “Vox de Pno-
bit,” has been started at Matanzos. It Is put forth in
manuscript, and several copies have been sent to the
Captain General. The authorities contend that It Is
written In Uie United 8tates and sent to Matanzas, for tho
purpose or making It appear that the American FUlibus-
lore hare an organized co-operation In Havana.
On tho 2d Inst, there were In the port of Havana
seven Spanish vessels of war, two French, three English,
and one American.

Taicxa or Neceomahcy,—The Chicago Journal lets

letting tbe publlo Into tbelr secrets, bnt as we are not

Ice, or mysteriously metamorphosed Into half a dozen
pigeons, rabbits, fete, fewn, which, on removing the cover,
hurry sway in every direction. AU this Is tbe silliest
piece of humbugging In tbo world to sucb as can per
ceive that this mysterious kettle Is made with double

ter passes, and thence is drawn upward through the ball
and suspending rods, which are hollow, and passes off in
a manner of a syphon to a tub below tbe stage. Tbe

A Fortunate Stock Operator.—In tbe midst of the
stock operations, especially in tho “fancies,” now going
on so largely In the Northern dtles, tbe prices fluctuate
greatly of course, making and losing hundreds and thou
sands of dollars for operators tn a very short time. The
Philadelphia ledger, after mentioning ono case of an op
erator who bought largely of au inflated “fancy” In the
morning at the top of tho market, which run down so be
fore nigbt that'he lost $400 by bis day’s operations, gives
the following aa an offret to It:
We were yesterday toldol a rase of a perron who a
few weeks agu started with only 9400. He engaged a bro
ker to buy for him 400 shares of one of tbe “fencles,” de
positing with him one dollar pet shore ss a margin. Tbo
stock sdvaneed rapidly—he sold out—appropriated the
profit as a margin fora mudi larger line. The stick
continued to advance—he sold again, and again applied
all tho profits ns a margin for a still larger line, ana so on
until he lias realised from his small beginning 940,009.
He now pauses In bis speculations, ana If he will only
take tbo advice of a sensible broker, to get Into the first
car that leaves the city, and not stop until be reaches a
point where stocks are never mentioned, he may hold
mud enjoy his gains; but so long as he stops In the vicin

From tbe Cara or Good Hope.-The Philadelphia

“Tbe Cape Town Mail of October 26th contains nu
merous notices of Incidents of. tbe Kaffir war, which

between the troops and the rebels are noticed, though no
decided battle.
“ A small force of police, Flngoes, Mounted Rifles anc

of rebels in the colony of Albany, killing five men, wound
ing others, and capturing five guns.
“ Captain Ht-nrno ana two men of tho 12th regiment
bad been killed by a mauraudlng party of Kaffirs.
“A dozen or more petty engagements with Hottentots,
with slight loss on either side, are noticed In the papers.
