be seen by tho following letter from a highly respectable
gentleman In Jacksonville, that another folse rumor has

Massae.Locks 4c Co.—Gentlemen: It baa been cur*
renUy reported In this town for tho last ten days, that the
Bank of Savannah was broke. I have been Informed
that this report came from the Captain of the steamer
Florida, which runs direct from Charleston to this place.
Whether the Captain Is base enough to put In circula
tion such a falsehood I am unablo lo any, but certain It
la, that such la tbo report. It la due to (he Bank and to
the citizens of Bavannah that tho perpetrator of such
malicious reports should be forreted out and exposed.

The Webster Annuity.
We have the pleasure, says the N. Y. Journal of Com-
, marcs,4>r laying before our readers to-day the interesting
correspondence between the late Hon. Daniel Webster
and Hon. David Sears, of Boston, on the subject or the
annuity presented to Mr. Webster by hla Boston friends.
This annuity baa been the occasion or much remark and
of some Centura on Mr. Webster during his lifetime, the
Injustice or which the correspondence shows; but Mr.
■ W. was too proud a spirit to vindicate himself, and pre
ferred to leave U to posterity to do him justice. While
he chose to remain silent, parties Interested did not feel
authorized to speak out. But tbo time has now come to
dear his fame of all aspersions, and bold up to mankind
for their emulation tho nobleness of his dmracter In all
its brightness. Something also Is due to tho contributors
to the Bind as well as to Mr. Webster, aud their motives
are entitled to be vindicated as well as hla; f-*r to this
day they have rested under the opprobrium of having
bribed the greatest statearaan of their country. Yet their
hoarta were conscious of the purity of their gift, and the
honest, straightforward purpose they bad in view; nnd
they rested satisfied with the frankness and good feeling
with which It was received by their honored friend, who,
tbrongh good report and evil report, bad faithfully la
bored for his whole country, knowlug neither East nor
West, nor North nor Bouth:

But they have been moved In this matter by no com

This is a most entertaining little book—a worthy New
Year’s Gift for yonng persons. It was written In England,
and MImAonkb Rtricrland has assumed the task of
editing it for her sister who la the author.
Tho interest of the atory turns upon an event similar to
that on which Daros’s immortal atory of Robinson
Crusoe is founded. It la but a reflection of Incidents
that have often occurred on the remote frontier* of
Canada, and perfectly well written. There la no class of
stories of more absorbing Interest than those describing
the adventures and Bufferings of those who
u Are out of humanity's reach.”

dressed lo our contemporary of the Georgian, R. B. Hil
ton, Esq., now on a visit to Florida:— *
Savannah, Dee. 10,1859.
R. n. Hilton, Esq.—JDssr Sir.'— In the last conver
sation which I bad the pleasure to hold with you on the
subject of a connection by Railroad between this city and
Pensacola, you Informed me that It was your lutentlon to
visit Tallahassee during the session of the Legislature of
Florida, and you were good enough to ask my opinion as
lo the course which that Legislature should pursue
towards the people and tbe Interests of Georgia.
The Importance of the connection referred to la, atthla
day, ao universally admitted, that there la no need of
saying much on that head. If tho same conviction or
tbe Immense value of this line or railway Which now rests
lu the public mind, had existed years ago, when tho
Southwestern road was projected, there would have been,
long era this, a connection between Macon and Fori
Galnea, and probably, between Pensacola and Macon.
Un to a late period,. I have always looked to the Junction
or8avannah with Pensacola through Macon. I beg to
refer you to an article In your Journal, republished In
tho appendix to the first report of Mr; Holcombe, signed
“Savanuah,” and to two communications signed •* C,” In
tho Republican of July, MB, republished lu Dellow’s
Review, In August or September,’40, for my vlows nu
this Interesting subject. 1 remain Impressed with: tbo
same general vlows, but I yield lo tho marked determl
nation of my feltow-cUIzcna in favor of a direct line from
the Gulf to the Atlantic. I admit, for tho thing Is ob
vious, that the direct line, If we can establish It, will bo
ths beat for this city.
1 regretted to hear from you that, notwithstanding my
disclaimer and toll explanation before tho people, the
Impression still remained (bat my object In offering the
preamble and resolutions presented by me at the Into
town meeting was. by mere paper boast, to kill offtho
projectors or the Brunswick road. Injustice has been
done me In this. When I yielded to the determination
of our people to bavo a direct road, rather than the one
by Macon, I earnestly desired to give proper direction to
efforts for establishing tbe direct communication. The
fact that my fellow-citizens preferred other counsels and
another plan to mine, has not, In the slightest degree,
damped my zeal In the promotion of the great cause, for
1 see, now, that the capital and Intelligence being em-
bodied In the enterprise, as started, will not fix the line
by Albany, but lower down tbe country, whore all the
great Interests Involved, require It to bo fixed.

Iktebnal Improvements in Vieoinia.—The agure-

the capital employed Is $127,000. These are sent even
ao far as to Missouri, after supplying the demand of the
vicinity.
Monks or Saint Bernard.—The Paris correspondent
of the St- Louis Republican aays that the Monks of Saint
Bernard, after exercising so long and so nobly the rights
of hospitality among the anows of their lofty solitudes,
are preparing to abandon their establishment, which will
shortly be rendered useless by the opening of the tunnel
of Mcnouyre; the good brethren will establish them
selves beside this tunnel, and again proffer tbeir world-
renowned hospitality to travellers on this new route.

But for all I have done, and for much more, if I couid

ests of Georgia, in my judgment, la that Indicated In my
resolutions. That line will, 1 believe, bo adopted, uulesa
the Brunswick proprietors, upon an amlcablo arrange
ment yield up their rights, except the - right of building
ami maintaining a road from Brunswick to that main
line. With auch arrangement and surrender, there
would be no conflict of Interests and tbe way would be
dear for the Immediate establishment of the line from
Savannah direct to Pensacola, with a connecting road
from It to Brunswick. In that event I think the Bruns
wick proprietors would obtain all they want on an out
lay of less than hair a million of dollars. I am entirely
ullsfied that, let tbe Brunswick proprietors build as far
and as much as they may, Bavannah will have a line
(and the controlling line) from the Gulf. Thera is no
doubt, ir two lines be built from the Chaltahoochle
river—one to Brunswick and Iho other to Savannah—
that the latter will havo the travel and the freight, AU
this seems to me to bo very plain. Nothing can make It
dubious but a course nr legislation on the part of Florida
inlnvorof the Brunswick line exclusively.
What, then, in the present posture of raltwaywork and
enterprise In Georgia, Is tho true policy of Florida 7—
Tills is an Interesting inquiry, and I will endeavor In
seeking a proper reply, to place myself In the nttltude qf
a citizen of Florida, desiring to promote, chiefly, the In
terests of Florida, and then thoso or the people of Geor
gia.
It la a matter of tho first Importance to Florida to have
Pensacola, the very best harbor on the Gulf or Mexico,
connecled by railway with tbo best Southern Seaport on
the Atlantic. No one will dispute that proposition.—.
The connection can be made by way of Macon, with Sa
vannah and Charleston, or It can be made directly with
Brunswick or with Savannah. The Macon line would
connect Pensacola not only with Savannah and Charles
ton. but with the entire railroad aystem of the Union.
A direct line to ellhor Brunswick or Bavannah would
terminate on the Atlantic, and would not be dlrectlv
but Indirectly, connected with that general system. Thl
brief statement would Indicate that the true Interest of
Pensacola Is to connect herself with Macon. At Macon
the way la open, or aoon will be open, not only to the
Atlantic at Savannah and Charleston, but to Columbus,
Montgomery, Nashville, ftletnphis, Henderson, J '
vllle and Knoxville, In a Western and Northern
the grei _ ...
quickest lino for the transmlaslou of mails between
Washington city nnd Pensacola would bo by Richmond,
Wilmington, Munchester, Hranchville, Augusta, Waynes-
borough, Macon, Oglethorpe and Fort Gnlnca or Eufola.
Such a line would give more rapid travel between Pen
sacola nnd New York, than a lino composed of raHroad
from Pedsaeola direct to SavannalL nnd steamships from
Savannah to New York. Convenience Mud rate of Hire
would be In favor of the latter, but the former way, be
ing all railroad, would be passed over more rapidly.—
By tho Macon route tbo connection with Bavannah
would bo perfect and sufficiently convenient, though
somewhat circuitous. By which lino could Pensacola
b6 soonest connected with Savannah? Tbe dlstanco
from Pensacola to Oglethorpe (the present terminus of
the Soutn-weslem road) Is about 230 miles—from Pensa
cola to 8avanuah about 390 mllea—from Pensacola to
Brunswick about 320 miles. What interests would, in
a peculiar maimer, be promoted by tbe BonUi-wcsIern
connection 7 The Central Railroad—Macon nnd Colum
bus nnd tho road passing through them—the State road
of Georgia and Ihe North-west generally. Through Ma
con, then, could Pensacola soonest find her valuable con
nections with the South Atlantic Ports, with the Interior,
with tbe seat of Government of Ihe Uniou, and with the
great Northern commercial marts.
But the citizens or Bavannah seek the direct line nnd
are resolutely determined to have it. Brunswick also
seeks a connection. Tbo Interest of Florida, then, as it
appears lo me, is to charter n road from the waters of
Pensacola liny, to, or near to, the Junction or tho rivers
Flint and Chntlahoochle,nnd to provide Tumls to build It
without the least delay. Buch a road might, fairly, be
termed a road common to Macon, to Savauimb, ana to
Brunswick. In giving such a charter, care should bo
taken lo invite the various lines which seek Pensacola,
nnd not lo throw nny off by nny system or fovoriUsm, by
any exclusive grant or devices whatsoever. Before
many years roll round, Savannah, by n direct line, and
tho Southwestern Road, will both bo connected with

Une might ask why 1 think so mnch of Pensacola, and
If Mobile and New tirlesua are not cities nf greater emi
nence nnd means. It is true that Mobile, Itself over
shadowed by New Orleans, now overshadows Pensacola,
and it la probable that the art of man may never be able
to bring Pensacola tip to the stature or even tho least or
theso cities, and yet Pensacola is now of the utmost Im
portance to Geonrio,and, moreover, Is destined to be a
large city. My humblo efforts have for years, been di
rected to Pensacola, becauso that place presents'the best
harbor on Ihe Gulf of Mexico, and because it it in the
direct tine from the month of the river Coatiacaalcos to
Washington and New York. By Pensacola, wIllGenrgla
be best connected with Uio Pacific Ocean. What more
or better could be asked or expected, within the noxt
twonly years, than lines of steam ships from New York
and Philadelphia to Savannah, and from Pensacola to
Coatzncoalcos, nnd from Ventosa (the Western end of
the Tehuantepec railroad,) to San Francisco—with the

-realstatesman. Mr. Webster, settled, ere his departure,
. ie point that American citizens alone are to open, with
Iron, the great Cortes route for tbo commerce of Ihe
world. All difficulties will soon bo removed. If any
one, doubting this, shall exclaim that “Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick,” let him remember tbo words of
encouragement and delight which terminate that proverb,
“But when tho desire cometh It Is a tree of life.” Rest
uured that the desire will come to those who seek It
with proper spirit. May not you and I (under tho favor
of Heaven) live to see men of all climes—sharptoed Chi
namen—exclusive Japanese and the Inhabitants of Ihe
Isles of that aweet Ocean whose placid bosom seems des
tined lo bo the scene of great achievements—ns well ns
tlimo who speak our own language, naming “on their
windimr way,” through this sunny South?
Florida hold* a great treasure In her great commercial
and national harbor. That treasure Is now locked up,
but irthe representatives of her people act with liberal!,
ty, It will, very soon, be opened and send forth a flood of
blessings. I feel that the Interests of Florida ought to bo
bound up with thoso of Georgls, and 1 would, therefore,
beg her citizens to provide the means of building a rail
road to tbo Chaltahoochle River, without delay. They
will thus secure a mighty thoroughfare through a large
portion of their territory—they will giro an outlet for all
West and Middle Florida to the Atlantic, and be, through
that railroad, on their northern border, and their great
river and their lakes on the East, Indissolubly connected

Waaexor TMt British Steamer Mouhtainrbr.—
Advices from Norfolk, Vn., stalo that the British steamer
.V«MRtaiR«sr, from Liverpool for New-York, was totally
loat on Christmas day, near Curratuck Inlet. The crew,
however, were saved.
The Meuntaineer was bound to St. Johns, N.U., ac
cording to tho Charleston Courier, and put Into Nassau
on tho Sth Instant, In distress, having been out seveuty
days, In consequence of her machinery having become
out or order. Wo presume, she could not obtain the
7 facilities for having her machinery repaired at
Nassau, and therefore proceeded to New-York, which
port It was feted, It seems, that tho should not reach.
WnaaLiNa Bridge— Confict between tka Supreme
Ceurt nnd Congress.—A Washington letter tays, public
attention will soon fee called to tho remarkable conflict
between tho United 8tatos Supreme Court and tho legis
lative branch of the government, In tho Wheeling bridge
caso. Tbe Court, by a decree at Its late session, after a
re-hearing of the case, decreed that the bridge should bo
removed aa an obilructlon lo navigation, or elevated to
a certain height, and they allowed a certain time within
which the bridge esmpany should comply with tho terms
of the decree. Congress, at the late session, and after the
adjournment of tbe Court, constituted the bridge a post
road, with a view to save the bridge and evado the de
cree. They undertake to legalize what the Judiciary has
decided to be a nuisance.
In Fsbruary, the U. S. Marshal will proceed to exocute
the decree, and summon a posse, aud if need be, call upon
the President for military aid. The Governor of Virginia,
on the other hand, will resist the execution of the decree
and employ the militia for that purpose. There Is a
dish of authority between co-ordinate branches of the
government, and in which States are deeply Interested
o* one side and tho other. Whether Congress or the
Court la to yield is the quostlon.
Am Extraordinary Lamp.—Among the list of late

A Railroad to the Pacific.—Tbe gigantic project
of a Railroad across our Territory to tho Pacific haa been
Introduced Into the United 8tatca Senate by Mr. Gwinn.
According to this plan, the road Is to hare at ita Eastern
end, on the Mississippi River, two lines, connecting It
with the Attautlo through the North and South respec
tively, end two at Its Western end, connecting it with the
Pacific through Oregon and California. The contractors
for Ita construction receive in payment alternate section*
or publlo lands forty miles wide through tho States, and
eighty miles wldo through the Intervening Territories.
At tho end ol thirty years It is to bo surrendered to the
United 8tates. The mall troops and olhor transportations
of tbe Government shall always be free upon It.
In a memorial to Congress on tho necessity, Impor
tance, and practicability or a Railroad from tho Missis
sippi to the Pacific Ocean, the question of Its profit Is
considered. Fifty thousand per tons go annually to
California, and It costs each $300 to gel there, making a
•um of $15,000,003, Supposing that Ihe Railroad can
carry them for $200, this travel will yield $10,000,000.
The road will be 2,000 miles tong, and il la estimated will
cost $30,000 per mile, or an aggregate of 8100,000,000, so
that 30,000 pauengera would yield au Interest of 10 per
cent, on travel alone. It la farther assumed that at least
$5,000,000 will annually be derived from freight, and
that It wlU cost to keep foe road in repair $5,000,000,
which would etlll leavo 10 per cent, for tbo Government,
or tbe stockholders, or the contractors—whoover should
build It. There are many schemes for this enterprise,
and many estimates, bnt they must all be, In a project so
vast, and over a country ao little known, nothing better
to be relied upon than mere guesses.
Threatened DisaumoN in the Cnuncii or Eno*
land.—It ta stated by foe Weekly Dispatch, that In con
sequence oftho determination of the Crown not to allow
Convocation to sit for tho dispatch of business, tbs lead-
era of tho High Church party, at a recent meeting, havo
resolved toseccdo from foe establishment, and so connect
themselves with the Episcopal Church of Scotland,
which, while in all main points It agrees with the Church
of England, adds to its services an acknowledgment
something very like tho Roman Catholic doctrlno c*
Trausubstantlatlon, and regulates Us own atfeira by
Synods of Bishops and Clergy. Tbo Right Hon.W.E.
Gladstone, ono of fooleadora of tho movemont, haa
taken foe first step.
When foe Intalllgence of the death of Mr. Webster
