Wo are naaurod that the road wHl be built In good style-probably with a T rail. The route la very favorable, and the outlay for bridging and masonry will be Inconsiderable, We hope tbe enterprise of the Thomaston people will be rewarded. Naw Vrssslv—The barque Flight, nn excellent and beautifully modelled vesad of 388 tons, arrived here yee- terday from New-York. She will take the place of the Texas (recently wrecked on Tybee Island), In Messrs, Briqhais, Kelly fc Co.’s line of packets between this plane and New York. - Macallister continues to attract crowded houses.— On Tuesday night the Athenamm was filled to repletion, as It hu been for several evening* past. Of his wonder- fid performances,!! Is unnecessary to speak, unless It be to say they give great satisfaction. They would be more iatiafectory, howover, If there were less noise and confu sion In tbe galleries. Indeed, tba acreama and stamping and rode Jests which greet one’s ears, are Insufferable, and unices something la done to abate them, decent people ^1U foci but little Inclination lo attend. There aro polico Officers present any night who might, but who do twf, preserve order. Snchhclngthe case, would It not be wen for Mr. Macalliitrs to take tho matter Into hla own bands? A magician *o doeplyhrersed In tho aria of diab lerie, can bo at no losa for means to rid btmaelf and h» audience of noisy persons. • He can cither swallow them y pitch them out—no matter which, ao long aa thoy are NAII REUUBLlCy Prom a dispatch received by tho agents In this city, we learn that the steamship Florida, CapL Wooduull, hence arrived at New-York on Monday night, at nine Taa Baltic got ashore as she waa going down the bay at New-York, on Saturday last. There wa* a dense fog at the Ume, and tbe consequence was, she got aground on tho Mud Flats, about a mtie and a half below Governor 5 * Island. Two ateam-tuga wont to her assla- tanoe, but being unable to getheroff, ahe had to await the next Ude, 7 o'clock, Sunday morning, when ahe float ed off uninjured. •The 8otrm Carolina Legislature will adjourn to day, Thursday. ‘MAsaAcnustTTS Election.—An election or nine members or tbe Thirty-Third Congress, to fill vacancies’ took place In Massachusetts on Monday last, when seven; Whigs, one Democrat, and ono Freeaoller, were elected Tbaltbo vacancies were nil filled, may be accounted for from the fact that only a plurality was necessary to a 1 choice on this occasion. Cotton Burnt.—Tho steamboat Cleopatra waa do- - stroyed by fire last week, as we learn from New-Orieana, with MO bales cotton. 8tatb Subscriptions to tub Washington Monu ment.—It ta proposed by aomo of our oxchangoa, that each State, through Its Legislature, should subscribe * 910,000 to the Washington National Monument. 'Fro* Washington.—Mr. Bradford, or New Orleans, aa Judge of tho Supremo Court, In place of McKinley, de ceased, nominated at the last session, with the consent of the Senators from Louisians, waa laid over by objection fiom that quarter. The majority In the Senate, it U said, ore determined to reserve this appointment for one or thsir own stripo^-At the dose of Mr. Adqm’sterm, Mr. Crittenden, present Attorney Gen err 1, was nominated fora seat to the Supreme Court, but tho Jackson majority of that day suspended him until the new administration came In to power, and then he was superseded. The Washington Correspondent of the “ Journal ef Commerce," writes t • u It la the opinion of many of the leading members of both Houses, that none of the great subjects of Finance, sod of the disposition or tho Public I-ands, will be acted upon at the present session, though Ills they are matters >f pressing Importance.” Sailino or Missionaries.—Nino missionaries expect to take passage at New York, soon for tbe Mend! mission, Airies, under the auspices of tho American Missionary Association. Their names are:— and jtes tboasond, but the preptagmrarRlly WN Wralag up with tbelr smaller, but equally certain cubreriptiom. We Ilka loses long IlsU of aloekholdsr* to *»r Ballroad* -there are over ono thousand of them tolhc OjPjft 1 Road. By extending tbs Intercat, Moods and advocates are multiplied, and there b security and food manage ment where many walchfol eye* are upon tbe Presidents and Dlreoton of these greet corporations. Wc speak of the road aa Us Savannah and Pensacola Reed, because the men who have started and are now promoting the work look to nothing abort of binding there cities directly together by the Iron chain. The Indi rect route by Albany, we are folly persuaded, will never receive tbe sanction of the subscriber*. There are strong and powerfol reasons for adopting tho direct lino to which we would desire to attract public notloe. There are also weighty considerations, touching tho Interest, the power and policy of our slater State, Florida, as well a* the in- toresta or Georgia, to which we would Invito attention. We take It for granted theta line of Railroad will be built from this city or It* vicinity to the Chafoboochee River, to be part (and the greater port) of the great Pen sacola Road; Whether the Brunswick and Florida RalL road Company can succeed lu building their road or not, It seems to ua to bo already a fixed foot that Savannah will have ber own Road. Wo continue to bollove that the Brunswick and Florida Road, aa set forth In tho pub lic announcement of President Foot, never wlU bo bulb. It. may bo true that 13,000 tons or 19,000 tons or Iron have been secured, for part cash and part Company’s Bonds, and yet it Is certain that the fond relied on to pay for tho grading and superstructure, *8,500 per mllo—wo mean tbe conditional engagement of the Ptantera to pay for stock when (and not before) tho Road U built—hna not reached in a reliable shape, half a million of dollars. It has been raid and reiterated that tho Road will be built, and this without any publicity whatever to any authentic or official report of the Preeidenl and Director* of that Company shewing the mean* adequate to the task, but Asm tbe thing Is to be done,on such a basis aa the friend* of the undertaking represent, Is, we confess, more than we can see. But allowing, for argument, that It Is fo be built, It la now evident that U can be of no value along side (even within 30 miles) of Us Savannah and Ptnsa- cafe Railroad. If the persuasion In the public mind that the Savannah and Pensacola, direct Roadie lobe built, la a tenth aa great aa the persuasion that the Brunswick Road will be built, the fete or the latter enterprise, as a profitless concern to Its subscribers, is scaled In advance. No friend- oven the warmest and blindest—or the Bruns wick Road will undertake to say that It will be a paying road, Ifthe Savannah Road la built. There may bo room enough upon tho land for both roads—but ono 6r the other must foil for lack of freight and passengers. Which ono that would be we have Intimated. We call the at tention or all the friends of Brunswick—thoao or little fotth and professors of unbounded confidence—to ihit ■tale of things. Will any of them undertake to aay, If Pensacola shall bo Joined to Brunswick by ono road, and If Savannah be Joined to Pensacola by another road, both roods running through the Southern tier of counties In Georgia, tAat tht road to Brunswick con ever pay its shareholders 1 Will any of them be bold enough to say that two inch roads could bo supported? There Is, In our view, no hope for Brunswick unless a turn like tills may be taken. As Savannah will build Its rood, If the Brunswick Company shall limit their exertions to Ihe expenditure of half a million and thus to tho securing of a rend or some 30 or 40 miles to connect with the Savan nah Road, the great object of that concern—namely, the sale of Brunswick Town Lota at an Immense profit to present holders, may bo attained. If a plan of that kind bo adopted, wo admit that tho Northern atockholdera may moke a good speculation, and make Brunswick a city of some importance—Am? not quite equal to Savannah. But we return to our main purpose. Tho Georgia part of the great line will be provided for. How la It with tho Florida port of tho line? At this day, there Is no charter for n Railroad from Pensa cola to tlio Chattahoochee river at tta Junction or near Ita junction with the Flint. Such a eliarter—liberal In ita character—tree—unrestricted—la Indispensable for Sa vannah. If It be granted, there la no doubt that tho great national road from Savannah to Pensacola will speedily bo constructed. Upon tho 8tate of Florida—upon her present Legislature—depends the question whether she and Georgia, united, as they ought to be, most thorough* ly and cordially, will ascura ue great prize. Tho State of Florida—most Interesting for Ita extent— ita climate—the variety of Ita products—and Ita bright future, under wise legislation—Is acknowledged by Go vernor Brown, iu his Into Annual message, to be LIU.IIO.U \V. will wit dw.ll o .lilcli Oomw Blow, it lion of |lio I’cmacol. .nil Ji _ JStHnUwtMipMAAr Mm, Willi WO. rrtUatoo, I Ml coolly be disturbed, UIM Florid.

The receipts of the Society, during the last month, were 81,534. Br.DoMiNaoCor'rEE.—The Emperor Soulouqne has lately decreed that hereafter all coffee brought in from the plantations In his dominions shall be fire of dirt and stones, under a heavy penalty for non-compliance. Frzncu Annexation or Mexican Territort.—On* of tbe most noticeable and significant or events Just now, (says the Baltimore Sun,) la the news or the defeat or tbe Mexican General Blanoo In tbe State eft Sonora by tbe French Count Housed Boulbot and hla adherents, con sisting of French emigrants, Indians, 4te n with tbe addi tion that the conqueror has proclaimed Sonora indepen dent and annexed to France. The government or Franco It la known, has been for some time encouraging and assisting tho emigration of Ita eitizeos to California, who have mostly gono tfaencu Into the Mexican State of Sonora, and the result is ns stated. It seems most probable, however, that the Count’s annexation proclamation la only on act of policy resorted to with tbe hope or fortifying himself in bis po sition and flattering his countrymen at home into sus taining him therein. Any party having the Federal power in Alexloo, will of course feel itself bound to resist this "dismemberment of the Republic,” os Its first requl* site for reiolnlog authority. A prominent Mexican Gan- dost co-operate* with Ihe French adventurer. Opening or the Baltimore and Onto Railroad. —We see It stated that the President and hla Cabinet, and the Governors of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, have been Invited to attend and participate in.tbe ceremonies of opening the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on the 3tat Instant. • Webster Testimonials.—It Is stated that more than fifteen thousand doUara have been subscribed In Boston for amoptunent foMr. Webster, and, that Ihe.oommiUeo who have tho matter in charge will probably decide lo erect a statue In some suitable place. Winfield Scott as Lieutenant-Generai*-.Sens, tor Clrmbns’ resolution to confer the title of Lieutenant- General upon General Scott moets with very general approbation, by Democratic as well as Whig Journals, os a compliment. Tbe Boston Post osya that Democrats can heartily jola.ln this testimonial to nn old veteran, as expressive of the sense entertained of bis patriotism and valor. It waa political opinion which they contended against, and not the military excellence of Gen. Scott ; and now that the contest Is over, the Post bolds that they will see with pleasure a deserved compliment bestowed on him ns wlth.the united voice of tbe public. Grebe Church In Baltimore, and Grace Church ini Washington—both beautiful new edifices of tho Protest ant Episcopal denomination—were both opened on Sun day last, fertile first time, for Divine service. Seaooast Great Mail Like.—The annual Re port of the Postmaster General, after refer!ng to tho increased expedition of tho mall transit between Now York and Now Orleans, goes on to say:— Certainty and celerity on this line cannot be relied on while the service on an important link In the chain of routes composing It li performed in atoamera on tho atomy and unsheltered coast between Wilmington . Charleston. Tbe completion of tha Wilmington Manchester Railroad during the next year will, it la be lieved, enable the Department to avoid this uncertain portion of .the present line. A Disastrous VoyAoa.—The packet ship Csnstitu tisn, which arrived at New-York, on Friday, from Liver pool, lost overboard tour of ber bandsduring the voyage.

But tr a wasteful and unprofitable expenditure of ihla Fund were all tbe consequence to be feared, my own anxiety would materially abate.

T*>*t Road would bo tho very best which Pensacola oonld desire. To prove this let ua aao what would be the Immediate contequonce or tho policy which we recommend: From the Junction of the Cbaltahooehe and Flint (a point to which large steamers can go at all seasons of the year,) to Amerlous, In Geor gia, tho distance In a right lino, does not exceed 130 miles. Provision has been made for tho extension of the Southwestern Road to Americua, and In a year tbe work will be oampleted. The State of Georgia, os a Stato owning (ho Western and AUantie Road, Is deeply Interested In carrying on the Southwestern Rond from Americut to tbe Junction of tho Flint end Chattahoochee, ifshelsthereto find a way open to Pensocola. 8uch outlet* as the Apalachicola Rlvor and tho Pensacola Road for the produce of tho Cherokee country, and of tho 8tato of Tennessee, would add two-fold to the value of our 8tate Road. The Gulf and . tho Atlantic, and the great mountain rood, and all tho roads of Tennoeaeo and Alabama, and tho entire chain of roads from Georgia to Maine and Canada, could be joined together by the con- strnctionofthat short road of 130 miles, In a country favorable not only for cultivation hut for local rtnuntra. tlon. Where could Pensacola look, or where could tho State or Georgia look for a lino or Railroad so easy of construction or ao great In ita consequences? To Pensa cola, a road to the junction promises a perfect communi cation to tbe second sea-port of Florida, tho town or Apalachicola, and a near approach to Tallahassee—and far more, It will secure to Pensacola an immense trade In provisions from the mountain regions, and still more, U wtQ, beyond doubt, wcure for her lines of eteamehlps to New Orleans, Panama, Vera Crux, and tho Tehuante pec Railroad, and thereby all the strictly commercial and rapid travel passing between the whole of the Atlautio States and California. TUe.Rallroad lino from Wash ington City through Wilmington, Manchester, Augusta, Waynesboro’, Macon, Oglethorpe, Americua, to Pensa cola, must or necessity!^ be tho great mail line of the United 8tates—oven to New Orleans. No other line can well compete with It. In this connection we beg refer ence to tho articles published lu this papor In July, 1849, and republished to.day. We think we havo sold enough to prove that It Is the true Interest of Florida to fomlsh the means of Joining Pensacola to the South Western Road of Georgia, and thus to all tho other Railroads of the great commercial and agricultural Hues of Iks Union. But let us now see what forther la promised by n Railroad from Pensacola to the junction of the Flint and Chattahoochee. The road would be common fer lines through the lower part of Georgia to the Attantio at Brunswick and at Savan nah. We will apeak of n road from the junction to Sa vannah only for thee© rt nson*: here nreto be found the capital to aid largely In the construction of U—here are all tho appointments of business and commerce, of steam ships, steamboats and Railroads to contribute to and join It and make It at once a line of profit—of value to Its stockholders—of Immense value to all the Slates of tho Union. The Tehuantepec Road will soon bo oponed. When it shall be, what line* of travel can there bo to compete with tho Hues through Ponsncola to Macon, on the one bond, and to Savannah on tho other?—Ihe formor, aa we havo soon, giving tho most rapid travel for New-York, and the latter tbe moat convenient and cheap route to the tame city. Establish such a line as we now advocate, and both Savannah and Pensacola must very soon grow into cities or great commercial Importance, sustaining and building up each other, la the city or Charleston to be an idtospectatorof these two lines, from upper and lower Georgia to Pensacola? She wlU aurely Join with more capital—with spirit nnd experience In carrying on tbe great work. She will, too, connect her self with the direct line at this city. For her, it would not bo too bard a task, even considering her already great outlay, to build % road from this city to her border. Now let Florida consider tho mighty Interests at stake, the Immense power in money which she can force to her aid and advantage; and can she—will she—forego the opportunity to enrich heraeir, by continuing to hope for her Central Road to Jacksonville? How easily can all ber work be supplied by one or two short and com paratively inexpensive roads to connect with the Savan nah line. It Is due to the people of that State to l .ferm them that there are some men In Georgia who hope to get tho Bavannah line to Albany with a visw to ito oxten- sion direct to MohUo Bag. For our part we have opposed and will oppose that scheme, advocating rather tho line to Pensacola. Is It not wise, however, to look to wbat finally may be done If Florida throws any obstado In Ihe way of Savan nah’s obtaining what ahe now seeks In a spirit and a power worthy of all consideration—namely, a direct con nection with Pensacola ? We feel that we have prolonged our remarks almost, if not quite, to tho fotlguo of our readers. We have much more to say, but cannot trespass further tonlay. May we not hope that we have said something at least, worthy of the passing notice of the people and represen tatives of our sister State and of our own people also ? , r.n b. wm*! i scarcely any IN I rough travel to I tba Georgia Railroad portion a country producing and re- jof ootton annual ly. __ Is now a | iron table Road, nay- destined to pay much more. The m Macon lo FortGalnas^hrough, ootton region, will certainly, hg .. cent. Interest on the coat of It— rt Gaines to Psnaaoohb It must bo .will atlaaat bo worthe* much In trinsically, as a Roadfrom 8L Mary’s to Cedar Keys. _ It requires, I apprehend, but little calculation or re- Pedlnsul^^uu. 6 * The tolerwt^rtha^lSd Btatos* In having a Railroad from tho best Southern Attantio port, Savannah, to thei best port on tbo Gulf; Pensacola, U suffi cient of Itaelfitf all .timer things were equal, to give tho preference to the line for which I contend. When tho consideration la added, that tho Central Railroad Is now part of the Goorata line—that fifty miles or the South- Western Road WUI so speedily be opeued—that tho re mainder of tho Hue to Pensacola, two hundred mtlee— can be put In operaU <u about aa soon as tbo ono hun dred and forty-five mile* of tho Florida Railroad—that Ihe Inducements to theoouatructlon ortho Uno to Pensa cola are much greater than they can bo to tho building, ofthe other—what Judicious mind can hesitate to deter mine In fovor of ihe route for which I contoud. It Is due alike to truth aud to the good Judgment of the projectors of tbe lluo to Pensacola to say a word ou the subject of 8L Mary’s harbor. It Is stated la tho Review a 47) that the harbor or St, Mary’s “baa a depth or m foot on thobar etlta lowest tides, nnd some tvren- rrthree at high tides,” and that “this Is better than Jharieaton, nnd equal or superior to Savannah.” It la notorious In Georgia, that tho bar or Savannah River has tho greatest depth of wafer on any river bar on tho At- and lautlo South of tho Chesapeake Bay. All tho harbors South of the Chesapeake Bay wore examined by a com mission composed of Captains WooLaxv. Olaxton and SuuaaioK, ortho Navy, aud they reported at follows: . “Depth or wafer and eaay acoes* being olijcota of the first consideration, they (tho said officers) are of oplnlou that tho porta of Charleston, Darien nnd St. Mary’o, being deficient In depth of wnterto permit tho entrance of a larger ship than n iloop or war—are unfit ts com vets with the frigute harbor* ot Beaufort, 8avannoli and Bruns wick. Tbo bar at the mouth of the Savannah River la tho dsepest and most accessible of any on the Southern coast. The avenge depth la nineteen foot at low water.” The spirit which has been evinced in Georgia in the . instruction of Railroads, Is a sure guarantee that the South-Western.Railroad will soon bo finished. Eveu without tbe Railroad from Fort Galneato Pensacola, a rood communication will thus be opened by the Apa lachicola Rlvor to Now Orleana, auch a communication as would compql (but compulsion Is not uecosaary) the people of Pensacola to bulla a Road to Fort Gaines. You, Meiers. Editors, and ihe Editor* of the Savannah Georgian, have always done your pnrt lu giving light to our people ou the subject ot our Roads. Arouse them now, 1 beg you, to the Importance of finishing without delay the South-Western Road.

A Widow advertises In tho Boston Transcript, that ehe Is very much In want of a husband.

Now, that she has determined on a direct line, our renders will seethe propriety of our advocating a 111 Junction or Ihe Hint nnd " the strait' thojuuct It la a matter of great moment, yes, of vital import to Florida, now, without delay, resolutely to decide upon her plan of action, and to aay bow that “ munificent fund”abaU be appropriated. Our humble advice may never reach tbe car* of her legtataton, or reaching them, may fell to receive fevor, and yst we would, avoiding all spirit of Interference, be bold enough to offer it. If the railroad system or Georgia—aa a whole—and in all Its parts—hat proved eminently successful so far; if by that •yslem blessings are literally multiplying upon ua—(four CUr baa contributed a fourth of the sixteen millions which It cost to build up that system and Ita accessories— If we, aa Public Journalists, havo not felled to giro our mllo of Intelligent old in tbe cause, we may be readily pardoned at least for this present offering. Pensacola Is admitted on all hands to bo tho boat har bor on tho Gulf or Mexico, and the nlghest to tho Atlan tic. U Is now the great Southern National Navy Yard— where, recently, ono of tbe best and costliest docks has been ||ullt by the General Government. It Is therefore Ihe jewel In Florida’s crown. No other place within her jurisdiction has equal claims upon her care and treasure. A general system of Railroads, for Florida, should begin at Peasaoola; Tbe object of that system should be to build ups great City on the Gulf, and at the same time to give outlets for tho productions of the State and inlets for returning aupplles—and to do so, those portions of tbe State where at present there Is no way to market, Middle and West Florida, should bo furnished with the means of proper development, and be brought as nearly as poesiblo lo tho Eastern Peninsula, where tbe only great river or Florida fondsbes a highway for the people to the Atlantic. Hence the projection of “ the Trunk or Central Railroad, commencing at Pensacola and running Eostwardly to the St. John’s River,” liidicated by Mr. Cabell “ as tbe first great work lo be undertaken.” We have not space to quote mnehfrom the recent patriotic address of that gentleman. We will barely remark at present, that he doss not fevor a Him rroa»u»* A«Wi« to West Florida unless that line should enter tbe State “much further to the East than has been stated ts In tended.” He objects, in feet, to such a line aa tbe con templated one from Savannah to enter Florida at or near Uie Junction of tho Flint and Chattahoochee, on Ihe ground that “ U would be a rival and competitor ot tbe “ Central Florida Railroad, if allowed to abstract from It “ tbe Southwestern travel and transportation for tbe ben-, “eflt of Southern Georgia, by leaving tbe State of Flor ida In the Western Section.” Tbe ambition of Mr. Ca bell. and of other Intelligent citizens of Florida to te cure, for that State, the passage of the Great Gulf and Atlautio Route entirely through tbelr territory, is natu ral nnd commendable. But he aud they must take things as they are, and If the resources of their State are Inade quate, as we believe they are, lo the attainment of their object, they must (and we think they will) adopt auch * feasible plan as will come nearest to their view. In tbe present condition of the population, wealth, and re. sources of Florida, tbo construction of a Railroad from Pensacola to Jacksonville, would be an undertaking of too much magnitude for ber own people. Foreign old could not be reasonably calculated on for two reasons- first, because the existing state of things in Georgia Is likely to furnish n far better route; and secondly, because the Eastern terminus, the River St. Johns, Is difficult of access—rather Inaccessible for steamships of proper size. The Inferiority of the bar of tbe St. Johns, compared with that or Savannah River, Is so great that Mr. Cabell could not overlook It. In his address, he says—“The “ bar at the entrance of the SL Johns cannot ordinarily “be passed by vessels drawing over thirteen feet, but “Insldo It la navigable for vessels of twenty-five feet “draft.” Ho oontinuos-“ An eUbrt will be made to deep en the water on Ute Bar, which it it eauguineig snticlpa. ted eta ti done to at te admit vttttle et loti wafer draw ing twentg tr twentfifive feet sad hg a* tiptndUurt nf twsnig thtusand dollartWe place the hope of Mr, Ca- mi, oowptouo inly Ifefore our reed are, knowing that no thing more will be required lo eatliQr them of Bio utter Im practicability of io Improving tho M, Johns as to admit aeveoiy-fournun ship*, or evou ordinary sized Frigates, Wa Ilka tba spirit of Mr, anxious desire to rocatlng a line from Pensacola to the land Chatabochee.

I agree with Mr. DeBow,that “the Idea of bringing New-Orleans and New-York, these great emporiums, by a safe and pleasant medium of travel, within four days distance of each other, Is worthy or tbe progressive spirit or tbe age, and Is but another Indication ofthe high destinies of our country.” But I clslm for Georgia tbe merit of starting, aud being nuder way at the present moment, with tho most flattering prospect of success, in the Interesting work referred to. 1 do so. In no captious or complaining spirit—with no view of detracting from tho merit or tbo proprietors of the Peninsula Railwag—but In tbe hope that these lines may meet the eye of the Intelligent au thor or the Review. I desire not to be understood as claiming for Georgia the merit or tho idea of connecting by Railroad the liulf of Mexico with tbe Atlantic—and thus NewOiUmna with Ne»-York—foi the subject has long been dlscusred. But I do maintain that the proper communication is through the line now being .worked out In this State. 1 Uribe Peninsula ronlo the plan Is aa follows: “The distance from Now-York, by sea, to 8t. Marys,by the usual ronto for vessels, la about seven hundred and pass by Railroad the Isthmus of Panama, and tho esta blishment of mall steamships on tbe two oceans—the course ot tho commerce of the world io soon to bs changed —changed before we can, with our utmost dlligcnco, bo ready to receive and pare through Georgia and through this city the multitudes who wlti follow that commerce. If the people of Georgia embraco tho present time, If our noxt Legislature ahall grant liberal aid lo this groat work, In a very few year* there will bo nothing wanting lo make this the second State In population and wealth or this confederacy. O. [From tho Republican, Julg 11,1840.] [communicated.] Communication betweon New-York and N, Orleans. subject continued. Messrs. Editors;—It was my design In tho communi cation which I addressed lo you yesterday, to show that the proper route for avoiding the navigation of the Capo or Florida, and couu cling New Orleana and New York, la by Railroad from Pensacola to Savannah, and ocean steamships at tho respective euda of tho line. Tho feet has been presented that this route is, In straight lines, by tbe map of the United States, the aborlest route. It la very plalu that It will be the most expedltous route, because near five hundred miles of tho way will be by Railroad through a remarkablu level country. In point of proBtnble Investment, the Georgia route must certain ly surpass tbe Florida route, because It will go through the heart or the most fertllo and virgin cotton region In the United 8tatos—a region already well peopled and destined to sustain a very large population. These re marks are applicable to routes made up of land and war ter carriage. We should not, howover, shut our eyes to tho feet, that In a short time, tho Railroads of South aud North Carol!- ua wlU be connected. Nor should we fell to coniidor wbat will be the ofibetof that Junction of Railroads on the communication between New York and New Or leans. If a straight line be drawn, on the map from Now York city lo tho city of Pensacola, it will be found to pose into Georgia, not fer nbove Augusta—to run a very short distance westwordly of Macon, and to pass out of theSta every near to and a little south ofthe city or Columbus. If tho existing lines or Railroad be now recollected and considered. It Is very certain thnt, what ever may bo tho plan of Joining tho North and South Carolina Railroads—whether by Wilmington, Manches ter, &<l, or by Raleigh or by Charlotte, tho city of Au gusta will be on the line. The tendency to this lias been soon by many for years past; Ihe feet that the State of Goorgfa Is to be entored by Railway from the North aud Er.st at Augusta, cannot be disputed. It roust be admit ted that tho line of Railway from New York to Augusta, will bo as ehort as the ocean line from New York to Sa vannah, and consequently to St. Marys, Georgia. As Railroad speed cannot be approached by steamship rpeod, It Is manifest that the most expeditious plan of carrying the great moll of the United States will be by Rolrooa through Augusta, If a Road Is built from Au gusta to tho 80 mllo station or tbe Central Railroad.* Thu Government will not, four years honor), pay for the carriage of malls by sea between Now York and the South Atlantic coast. Wherever the moll shall go, ma- uy, in fact the greater number or men oit business, will go. Wo should than look at Augusta as tho starting point In Georgia wheuce the malls, nnd consequently much travel will go, to and fro, across the Stale. In Ibis connection, tbe Intelligent reader will not fell to seo the groat tmpportance to Augusta—Savannah and the Central Road—lo Macon and South-Western Georgia, Southern Alabama and Western Florida, of a Itailimd from the city of Augusta lo the Central Railroad. This latter road built, and then tho New Orleans mall route must of ne cessity be through Macon and tbe Soulh-Weatera Rail road. Tho commanding position of tho Stato of Georgia in the matter or Internal,communication or the Union la now apparent to every one. Wo hold the key to the West $ we have opened tho door by tho Western and Atlantic Road. We hold Ihe bey to the Gulf of Mexico; let ua now but open that door also, and we will arrrive at a point of prosperity, the equal of which but few of our sister States will ever see. Lot me aay a word for Suvnnnab, and ibow the great advantage she hu at this day over tbe City of Charleston. The latter city strained nil her strength to get the trade of Georgia, and ofthe West through Georgia. She felled In her truo policy of looking North instead of South. Tho great metropolitan route, between the North and South, might, If Charleston had pursued bor true course, have been through Wilmington and Charleston and So- vnnnab-* route through all the Southern seaports on the AUantio line, instead of a line through tbo middle country, But now that great route approaches Charles- — . — St Mam rood route proposed from ot. Maryt, on tne Atlantic, across Florida lo Cedar Keys, on the Gulf, a distance of oue hundred and forty-live miles, fire hours would place the traveller on the Gulli and the Ibroo hundred and sev enty-five miles lo New-Orleans would be run In thlrty-five hour*; thus giving one hundred and five hours, or about four days, os the running time from New-York to New- Orleans, and, lucludlng ull detentions, In less than five days, even at the presont rates of speed, which ore con stantly being Increased; a shortness or passage render ing all competition by any other route entirely out ofthe question. When taken In connection with Ihe adraninao of having only two transfers or baggauo, and the supe rior comfort, convenience, and travelling by sea steam- era, would ensure for such a route, when established, nearly aU the travel from New-Orieana and the Gulf ports, North, Texas, Mexico, 4ml—Review, Mo. I, Mew Scries, pagsVI. “Tbe South-Western Railroad” of tbe State or Geor gia, beginning at Macon, and terminating at Fort Gaines on the CbaUanoocbee River, a distance of 160 miles, was designed by Ito authora and projectors to develop the most fertile and vnluable now cotton-growing region In all the South, and also to be port of a line of Railroad from the dty of Savannah to Pensacola. It waaelalmed Ibr this route that It would be “ a line on tbe way, from New-Orleans td New-York which never could ba headed."* This Road to now being constructed. Over five hun dred hands are at work on It—over twenty-five miles have been graded, and It is certain that the first fifty miles crossing the Flint Illver will bo completed by the 1st day or September, 1850. From Fort Galues on the Chattahoochee River to Pen- •aeoto, tbe distance, by the Map or the United States, to one hundred and filly miles. The Central Railroad from Savannah to Macon Is one hundred and ninety miles long.

But, whilst It Is seen that the great mail of the Union will so pus by Augusta, it does not follow that tbo groat hum of promiscuous travel will be br the some line. The combined line of Steamships and Railroad, by way of Pensacola and Savannah, will be short of tbo mall line In point of speed, but it will fer surpau U In com fort ana ease of travel; and, moreover, It will prove the cheapest line between the two great points, Now-Orleons and Now-York. Open the line from Mocou to Pensacola, and the traveller from Now-York will reach New-Orieana In nluoty-alx hours, and the line Itself will be supported and fairly compensated upon a through rate of 935 the passage. Savannah being so much to the South and West of Charleston, and so much nearer New-Orleans, hu the advantage of the hut-named city. In a word, the opening of a roed from Augusta to tbe Central Road, and from Macon to Pensacola, will secure the City or Savannah against ell rivalry whatever. The people of Savannah have looked at tbla state of things—they have Invested some 9400,000 in the Southwestern Road. That line will go on.
