The Committee on Internal Improvement, in.
taking a eurvoy of their important duties, doum
it an obligation not to ho dispensed with, earnest
ly to direct the attention of Gio Senate to the
Western *fc AGantio Railroad. This is the grbat
work of Georgia—of the highest importance
aud most permanent utility to die people. It
is therefore lint |o he provided for. and
it* early completion rendered sure. If wo
are to be advised by G»e experience of Foreign
countries, aswollas by somo of the States of our
own, tt will be conceded that there aro no means
so effectual to enrich and enlighten its inhabitants,
as to render their intercourse easy, and the ex
change of their various productions cheap and
expeditious. Railroads accomplish these pur
poses. Asa practicalillustrnGun of this truth, it
may not he considered inappropriate,_ to rufer to
the works of somo of tho Status of tins confuilor-
ncy. Massachusetts, either by her State or its
citizens, has constructed a Railroad of two hun
dred miles long over the llousatonie mountains,
through the entire Slate and part of New York
from Boston to Albany, where it nmols the groat
canal and the Albany and Erie Railroad,
n New York, hnsidas hor Cabal bnmiocting tlio
Hudson river, has made a Railroad over throe
Imudred and thirty miles long, extending from
Albany and Troy to Buffalo on lajto Erie; Mm has
also a Railroad iu progress from the city of Now
York, or rather from the Hudson,a short distance
above the city, through that part of die State ad
joining Pennsylvania, to terminate ou lake Eriu
above Buffalo. Pennsylvania has a perfected
system of Railroad aud Canal communication
from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, Gtrough tho cn*
tiro State, and which is lour lutudrud milesJong.
Maryland has a railroad in progress, and much of
it completed, running from Baltimore through
the whole Slate, part of Pennsylvania, and ter
minating at Whecliug, in Virginia.
Tito:C works have cost tho builder* many mil
lions beyond tho expenditures of Georgia and
IterRailYoad companies, and arc especially re
ferred to because the object of construction, the
commerce of tho West, is precisely that which
will he secured to Georgia by the State Road aud
Gio great company lloads. the one leading from
Augusta and the other from Savannah, aud nut
ted ut Atlanta. By reference to tho geographical
position of the States, it will he seen that they
may be divided into Atlantic and Western, sop-
urated by the great chain of mountains running
through the States, from and including part of
Alabama to Canada. Westward of this chain
lies Gib Valley of tho Mississippi, unrivalled ou
the giobo for its extent und fertility of soil. The
products of this vast region of four thousand
miles in length, find tho best market lor their sur
plus productions, for homo consumption or for
foreign exportation in tho Atlantic States and
seaports, it is for tliis already great and increas
ing commerce, that the works above referred to
have beeu constructed. Why should net Geor
gia participate in its benefits, by completing her
rouu / of which, Giere remains less than forty
miles to the Tennessee river, one of tho tributa
ries of the Mississippi. This river is navigable
for large and small steamboats all the year to
Decatur, oue hundred aud Bixty miles below
Chattanooga. Tho Elk river, which empties in
to the Tennessee above the Muscle Shoals,is navi
gable for sixty miles six months. Upon these riv
ers and iu Gieir immediate vicinity there are now
near one hundred thousand hales of cotton pro
duced. Above Chattuuougn to Knoxville on the
Holston, Gie navigation is good all the year for
large or small Steamboats, llargo» and small
bouts comedown the Holston two hundred und
filly miles. Above Knoxville, the French Broad,
lliwussee and Clinch ure all navigable to somo
extent by Boats of somo description or other.—
Let it bo remarked here that the agricultural pro
duct* of this fertile region and of all Ttmucxsue
finds a market at New Orlcuus, nearly two thou
sand miles distant, and ut a season of tho year
when that market is crowded with tho same com
modities. Teuiiessoo, besides her Cotton. Beef
and Pork, produces annually filly-seven millions
bushels of corn, which, allowing twenty millions
for her inhabitants, und us much for stock, would
leave more than ten millions fur exportation from
Gie State, which passing over- the State llnad at
the low rateol’5 cents a bushel, would givcnii in
come upon a single article of $500,OUt). Cau it
bo questioned whether or not Tennessee would
seek a market for her produce, ulways better on
the Atlantic, safe, expedition:; aud with quick re*
turns? She would likewise require tho use of
the public works of Georgia for her hack freights,
always equal to the down freights. If then, there
wore to he no other contribu'or* to thu State
Roud, it would be wise to finish it; but wo are
justified in extending our views to Kentucky,
parts of Virginiaaud North Curoliuu, whosegeo.
graphical positions would make it their interest
to use our works of Internal Improvement.—
There cau now he but little doubt that the Chat
tanooga and Nashville Railway will hu built, and
the Hiwassee finished. By tiio former, the link
will he supplied which connects tho seaboard of
Georgia with Gio Mississippi river, for thu Cum
berland river is navigable at all times for steam
boats of tho second, if not the first class. By
these means Kentucky may send a part of her
corn, flour aud bagging into or through the State,
and she will choose to do so, for at present her
valuable products must descend the Ohio river
ami Mississippi to Orleans, or ascend the Ohio
and by Wheeling to and a market by railway to
Baltimore, or by Pittsburg on railway ami canal
to Philadelphia ; tho distance eitiier wav is be
lieved to hu not much short of‘2000 miles. It is
even more than probable that Ohio, Indiana and
otliers of the valley of Uio MhsisMppi, will prefer
this route to thu Atlantic, for the reason that the
New York aud .Pennsylvania cunuls, are frozen
half the yeur; and all tliroo of tho great
Hum of railway incommoded aud some times
obstructed by ice and snow. It will h'.j per
ceived Glut these views refer entirely to commer
cial advantages, and they might, he much exten
ded, if it was considered at ull needful. Is there
uny umn in Georgia who can bo insensible to the
great value of this western commerce, or who is
willing to tako the responsibility of denying to
the State the benefits of it ? The committee may
bo allowed, however, to offer another motive to
complete this enterprise, which they persuade
themselves cannot hu thought to he unimportant.
It must be rcniemliured that it has been inure than
once necessary to defend thu seaconst of Georgia
against a foreign enemy, and it is ultogchcr pro
bable that this necessity may again exist. By
Giese grent works of internal cominuuication.how
easy and Imw promptly might her citizen soldiers
he transported to defend her cities,it ml Utusparsb-
fyr populated seucoasts und with what certainty
and lueility might they be supplied with the ne
cessary provisions. There is still another view,
which, though it may seem foreign to the subject.
Giey hope to be indulged in presenting. It is well
known andgrently to bo regretted by those who love
tne Union, as we sincerely profess to do, tliatour
northern and eastern brethren have expressed n
determined hostility to our constitutional rights. It
seems that they cannot lie contented with an
equal participation of the houefits of our national
institution*,but by a remarkable concert of action
between themselves and thu subjects of u foreign
country, the Abolitionist* are seeking to destroy
or disturb our friendly relations, llow easy it is
by tho multitude of their Railroads to extend the
circle of their buneful influence, und concentrate
• their pernicious action. Our Railroad system
iqay thernforo he considered ns u work of patri
otism, which hns for oue object the perpetuity nf
tho Union. If wisely multiplied and completed
through the Southern States, tney would enable
tts to defend our right* by tho sumo ready and un

minority Report
Of thoCnmmittooou Internal Impro.vcniont on
Gio Extension of Uio Western and AUuiiue Rail
Road.
Tho Minority of Uio Committco on Internal
Improvement, and who have had untlor consid
eration thu Weston and Atlantia Railroad, Re
port, that it is inexpedient and highly impolitic at
iliix time to extend Gio Western and Atlantic
Railroud beyond its present terminus nt Dalton.
1st. Because it is apparent, from all tho'infor-
matioii wo can obtain, that we have a largo out
standing debt uf sixteen hundred thutiKHiid doll
ar*. The interest ou tho saino is ninoty-six thou
sand dollars: and it appears from Gio report of
thu Chief Engineer, that Gio profits arising limn
said Road, for the last year, ending the 30th Sep
tember, is Giirty suveu thousand dollars, a frac
tion over one-thud of tho interest running u-
gainst us. And it is ulso shown from the smite
report, that the Western and Atlantic Railroad
has cost three millions three hundred and fivu
thousand dollars; aud it will tiu suen that tho
profits on said Road aro a. yory small fraction
over one per cunt, on the amount thus expend
ed : aud wu doubt whether, by extending this
Rond to Chattanooga, it will pay one percent.,
adding the uinouut oftho necessary cost to com
plete it. It is apparent froiii the Trenton re r’s re
port, thill tho rcvciiuo from nil sources is insuf-
liriont, after defraying Gio ordinary expenses of
thu government and nu outstanding obligation
now due, to pay thu interest, much less extinguish
any portiou of thcpuhlic debt; aud we cannot for
a moment entertain the idoa that any member of
this Legislature duuires to increase the tuxes ou
our people, for Gio purpose of building a Ruil-
roatfin TuiiUussco, in tho hone that Tennessee
will build a Railroad from Nashville across'Wal
den's Ridge and tho Cumberland Mountain to
form ajuuction with such Hoad, so to hu built
by Georgia, the more especially when all the ob
jects to bo ultaiued by Uio extension to Chatta
nooga can be and will he better effected by u pri
vate enterprise, without the appropriation of oue
additional cent limn the public treasury.
And we are confident, nay, certain, tlmt Ten
nessee will not, fora very long time, tax her peo
ple to the extent necessary to tho effectuation of
so stupendous a work, from which so little bone-
fit ii to result to that people.
Wu say, all tho objects to ho attained by the
extension of the Western aud Atlantic Railroad
will be better etfectuatcd by private onterprize. It
will be recollected that the Western ami Atlnufic
Railroud now extends to Dalton, only fifteen miles
to Red Clay outlie Tennessee line, to which point
the Hiwussce Railroad is in progress and partly
built. A glance at the map of the United Stales
which hangs in your Chamber, will show dial this
Road, which extends to Knoxville, will command
the ouly certain trade of Unit Stato. to wit, East
Tennessee. Northwest North Carolina, Western
Virginia,and Southeastern Kentucky. Nothing cun
over he gained cast of the Cumberland Mountain
by a further extension of the Western und Atlan
tic Railroad in tho direction of Cliattnnoogu
The Memphis Branch Railroud, from King
ston to Rome, seventeen miles, is now in rapid
progress, and no doubt will he completed ear-
*/ ,,oxt Spring by the enterprising company
who now have charge of if. From Romo to
the Ten Islands,SO miles, the Coosa river, is
believed by many men, who ore well ac
quainted with it, to he a* good as the Savannah
below Augusta. This will open to ua all the
trade of North Alabama, from which region many
planters are even now wagoning their cotton to
Kingston.
From Rome to tho month of Will’* creek is six
ty miles; from thonco to Guntor’s Landing, thir
ty five miles.
To Gunter’s Landing, boats of two hundred
tons can coino from the Muscle Shoals, nt all
times of tlm year. This brings us to tho Rnilroad
round tho Muscle Shoals. and open* our commu
nication with tlie great West without thu lioces*i-
ty of one cent from tho public treasury of Geor-
gia; and open* ull the trade west of tho Moun
tain that we can possibly hope for by the exten
sion of the Railroad to Nashville bv Chattanooga.
By tho Engineer's extimateH, $*1175,000 will be
required to complete the Road to Chattanooga.—
Wo have no idea that sum is not tnty:h ovor one*
hulf enough; but it ia bootless to moot that point
until an actual vote of this Legislature compel.! us
to believe that our people ure to ho heavily Imr-
thuned for no purpose whatever, savo to promote
the interest of a very minute district in a sister
State. And a small fraction of her people.
Wo are confident that Tennessee will not, for
a very long time, burthen her people to build a
Road across the Cumberland Mountain and
Walden'* ridge. Tim elevation of both are, we
think, several hundred feet, aud the first is tun or
fifteen m bs across, which cannot he accomplish
ed only nt u cost altogether incompatible with the
benefits to result; besides that, tho other routes
already indicated afford her the same facilities for
interchange and intercommunication that they af
ford us. Moreover, Mie can transport her heavy
and bulky products to the Atlantic coast much
cheaper by her rivers through NewUOrleans than
she cuu by Railroad. Indeed ifidioTtadnn rivers,
her grain aud flour will not hour Railroad trans
portation, unless when the prices aro highly stim
ulated by u famine in Europo'or excessive dearth
oflireud-Miifl's iu tho Atlantic States. Her other
staples, dried applies aud feathers, though impor
tant, it is believed aro not of sufficient conse
quence to us to hasten the outlay of half a million
of dollars in the prosentstato ofotir finances.
Yet again—if. us we believe, Tonnossco nover
builds u Road from Nashville to Chattanooga,the
southern route from Kingston to Gunter’s Land
ing, by Home, is about ninety mile* nearer than
the northern routo by Chattanooga. Thus, from
Kingston to Rome 17 mile*, from Rome to the
mouth of Will’s Creek 60 mile*, from thence to
Gunter’* Landing 35 miles—in all. 112 miles;
from Kingston to Chattanooga 84 mile*, thence to
Gmiter’s Landing 120 miles—in all 204 miles.
And when we recollect the navigation of the
Tennessee, from Chattanooga downwards, i*
closed ou an average five months iu the year, we
think wo do not err iu thu conclusion that few
men will hesitate to prefer the southern route.
Ail of which ia respectfully submitted.

Our * ( Euterprlslng Merchants.”
Tho article from Gio Charleston Mercury
which we placed in our columns yesterday, is
well calculated to awaken the pride of ovory bu
siness man of Bavunuah, aud naturally suggests
the enquiry—Aro we, indeed, so deficient in
enterprise us oqr arrogant neighbor seems to
imagitio ? If it be truo Uint wo uro, it is high time
that public attention should be directed tu tho
matter, and that the proper spirit should bo in
fused into tho bosom* of our people. The great
works of internal improvement, coiuplctud or
progressing in our State, together with an evident
growth ofsyinpaGiy und gooil fouling towards our
city among tho inhabitants of the interior, invite
the enterprise of our merchant*; the competition
with which wo liuve been compelled to struggle for
years from Charleston, demands it; the interest
of the murchaiit himself in taking advnutuge of
Uio opportunities furnished for uu expansion of
his business, claims aud demand* it. It is gratify
ing to perceive that in various quurters tlio work
of improvement goes bravely on. The steps
which have been taken Iu ‘reference to the com
mencement .of tho Southwestern and Wilkes
County Railroads, the opening of the Canal, the
establishment of a lino of steamers between
Savannah and New York, and tho contemplated
erection of a manufactory in or near the city, are
all of them calculated to hrighteu Gie business
prospect* of Savannah.
But of what avail are all the works of internal
improvement, erected at large cost, unless there
lie enterprise in our city sufficient to profit by
tlio greut facilities which ure offered / und is it
true, that such enterprise is wanting / We think
Uiat the answer to this question is apparent at a
glance. “Tlio world was not made iu a day."—
It is not to ho expected that all the enterprise
and capital needed to meet the requisitions upon
Savannah, should rise up us if at tho wave of the
wizard’s wand; Uiottgh one thing to our mind is
clear enough, that ill somo branches of business
there is no place on the AUantic seaboard which
offers such strong inducements to enterprising
inerchuuls ns Saviinuah.
The appearance of our Mores at the commence
ment of this soason, conclusively shows dint os
our business relations are increasing our mer
chants aro gradually extending their arms to re
ceive it. Somo of our establishments can chal
lenge comparison with those of any oUier city of
tho country. So far from being inferior to those
of Charleston, gentlemen who have examined
them iu both cities have given ours the decided
preference, both n» to the quuiity of tho articles
11 He red, und tho cheapness nf prices. It gives us
great pleasure to refer to tho splendid furniture
establishment of Mr. I. W. Morrell, in the new
building of Mr. Smut*, on Broughton Street,
us an instance of thu facts we allege.—
Tho immom-u assortment, of articles which it
contains, of every class and description, and of
tho finest quality, is well calculated to cxcito the
wonder of any one whoso gaze is limited to the
sand hanks around our city. "Where do you
find a market for ull this furniture ?" is hut a nat
ural question to propouud to the enterprisin,
owner. The answer, however, is nt hand. "
send it up on the Rail Hoad; I supply furniture
to the interior of Goorgia as far up as Marietta,
iu Cobb county. Since tho commencement of
the present season, I have sold more Gian you
now seo in my store-rooms ; and the demand is
constantly increasing." -Mr. Morrell has taken
advantage of the business facilities and opportu
nities offered iu Savannah, and liasprepuredu
stock large enough, and variegated enough to
meet the demand. He can afford to sell at the
cheapest prices, because the extent of his business
will warrant it; und instead of the purchaser’s
leaving 8avannah, because ho cannot find the
articles lie wants, ho returns to Savannah from
Charleston, aud buys his furniture here.
In this connection it is proper to mention
the largo Crockery Establishments of Messrs.
Weeds & Morrol), and Messrs. Collins & Bulk-
ley, as offering inducements to the buyer—
which have brought und must continue to bring
business to Savuunuit. Also the Hardware Es
tablishments of Messrs. Weeds, Mr. MatUicw
Hopkins, and Messrs. McCleskoy & Norton.
These gentlemen import their stoc/is direct from
Liverpool; and are driving a large, lucrative aud
rapidly increasing business. They can nflordto
sell as cheaply ns any other merchants in tho
country, and as the business relations of Savan
nah extend. they increase their Mocks to meet the
growing demand. Such is the business which
can he done, aud which will he done iu Savan
nah. Enterprise is rapidly adapting itself to the
calls which aro made upon it. We already hear
of new capital being iuvcMed in tho various
brunches of business here. Intelligent men are
learning that money can bo made in this city
The facilities and opportunities aro offered—can
it he supposed for a moment that the enterprise
will be wanting 7
Other pursuits of our citizens will claim our
attention.

Tlio Republican ofyestorday inform* us dint at

was rooelved with uitiiouudud applause. The
Mexican war, its objects und character, wore de
lineated widi tho forpe of oloquonco Giat over

very hahtfeomoly said—but would it not have
boon well to liavo given the speech itself, or ut
least an ntiulysis of it, to Giu public? Did or did
not the .otaytor touch upon Gio subjects of Gio
woftemliDundary of Texas aud Gio acquisition of

Whig Fuels.
Give the Whigs the premises they assume, and
they wiliniakotho worse appear Giu better cause.
Tin N. Y. Express, for instance, says—" Oue
inuit made tlio Mexican war. Tho country made
the ivur of 1812. That (of 1812) was a war of
defence; Giis (of 1847) a war of conquust. That
for tho liberty of tho high nuas: this to extend the
institution of slavery: or, if this bo not a fair state-
moii, (we use thu language of thu Express) a
war arising from Gio extension of our slavery iu-
to tint part ofwhut was Mexico, but is now Tex
as.”
Now mark thu conclusion which tho New York
(Whig) Editors draw from such premises;
“ The patriotic impulse* that ennobled tho war
of 1812, and made a martyr of every soldier that
full in it, only makes 'a hero’ oftho slain now."
Wo would refer tlio Editors to Col. Wynhoop
aud other Whigs who have fought in Mexico, in
know Whether such distinctions between the he
roes of 1812 und 18-17, are a "proper appreciation
ofUio Holf-sacrificing conduct" of the soldiers that
have (alien iu Mexico.
Wo ourselvos doubt whether a solitary Whig,
opposed to the war, volunteered to beat back Gie
invaders of American soil.
They stayed at homo to disgust with their scrili-
hlings Gie heroic Whigs who left home aud all
they cherished, us husbands and fathers, to evince
their filial duvotiou to Gieir country, engaged ii
a just aud defensive war.
As declared by thu N. Y. Courier “it is unjust
and unpatriotic in an eminent degree lor Mr. Clay
(or uny oue) to say that wo are not defending our
fire-sides, our castles, and our altars."
“No gentleman ran engage in the war." So
nays the Boston Atlas.
Wc refer the editors of that Whig print to
Col. Wynkoop’s letter, who, though a Whig,
calls such language “the spirit of treason promulga
ted by the leading Whig journals at home."

going or returning. At San Juan our hoys will
have an opportunity to mount themselves, if
they can only geta few Mexicans to go with them,
who can throw the "las-.o” well; for I saw. I
am sure, several hundred line horses iu less tliau
live miles from that place—and they do not ap
pear to he vory wild. A* for beef, it is plenty
and very lints. I spent two nights there. Capt.
W. N. Nelson is still in command, and 1 think
would have made a very good Commanding Of
ficer; I nin sure, for ono so young, he would liuve
done himself and his Slate great credit. Although
I am particularly friendly with Col. Seymour,
and know him to bo a gentleman und a line of
ficer, yet I should liavo been glad to have seen
Capt. Nelson appointed to the command of tho
Bnttaliou. Col. Calhoun, on Sunday morning,
paid his respects, with all his command present,
to Gen’s Quitman and Shields, and tho Battalion
was highly complimented by them both. At Gen.
Shield’s quarters wo found Scnor Atochn. lie
made himsolf very useful, handing wino and cigars
to the officers. 1 really took him to ho u big mu
latto negro. Ilo is about the size of, and looks
•ike Henry Jones, the saddler, that used to be in
Columbus, and only one shade lighter! He is the
man who was sent here to try to make peace!
VVell, speaking of peace—all tho officers from the
city, agreo that there is yet no prospect for it;
aud that tho only way to 'conquer one,’ is to take
possession of tlio whole country, and form a gov
ernment of our own.
UT Wo have been favored with the following
extract of a letter, from a literary gentleman to a
friend iu this city, dated
NEW YORK, Nov. 18,1847.
"I wish you were hero to attend die lectures

perior to Cuvier, as hi* knowledge is far more
general und more minute. In Uie anatomy of

Iu the mysterious powers of Galvanism w«
have to wrestle Solely with facts, and their uppli-
ration to medical science, facts the most astonish
ing arc exhibited. Diseases which have been con
sidered beyond tlio reach of medicine, am! have
balllcd the best directed efiorts of Physicians, arc
found to yield quite readdy to Uie astonishing elli-
cuey oftlii* wondrous agency. An efficient mode
of npplieiition ha* been long desired, though hut
lately attained, and this has'hucu done hy the Im-hii-
tiliil invention of DR. CHRISTIE’S tiALVAN-
1C RINGS. BELTS, BRACELETS, and other
appliances which are ailaptud for peculiar diseases,
to any part of tlm system with the most perfect
safelyuml certainty of success. By these mean*
the most severe ami protracted eases of Finn mu
tism, Headache, Dyspepsia, Spinal Complaints,
Fits, Cramps, Neuralgia, and all Nervous Diseases,
are readily arrested in their course, and very often
perfectly cured.
5 *J~ The following is copied from a leading
editorial article, dated Nov. 13,4846, iu the New
Era. Portsmouth, Vn., A F.jCunningham, Esq.
Editor.
“Wo feel it a duty we owe to the public, to
those who uro mitt'oriiig under the severe ulllielion
of Rheumatism, Tie Doloreaux, Gout, «.Vc. to bc.tr
thi* unsought testimony lo the superior beneficial
clients of thu Galvanic aud Magnetic Curatives,
lately introduced into this country by the discov
erer, Dr. A. 11. Christie, an English physician of
high reputation.
"Mr*. Cunningham lias been suflering severely
from both Chronic and Inflammatory Rheuma
tism, Cor many year*, and lias found but little re-
lielTrum the many applications recommended by
physicians, and the patent nostrums which have
heen advertised as curtain and sovereign cure*.
Last week the attack of Rheumatism was so *e-
vero, that the agony was almost too much lo hoar,
and the bones of thu right lout and wrist were .sen
sibly projected from their natural position by the
pain—when wo determined to try the virtue of the
Galvanic articles, and Magnetic fluid, although
Mr*. C. ami myself had no liiith in their virtues.
'The. fart, however, hns forced itself upon our minds
that then possess astonishing power. From the first
fifteen hour* of their application, a sensible dimi
nution ol’p.iiu commenced, first leaving the wrist
free, and finally, by a strict olncrunicc ofthe di
rection. (lie loot and whole body were entirely re
lieved from pain and swelling in six day* from the
commencement of their use. We make this state
ment. as staled above, without the knowledge of
L)r. Christie or hi* agents, as a matter ol’inlbrma-
tiou to the public."
5C A L'TION.—Thu great cclcbi ity and suc
cess of Dr. Christie’* Galvanic and Al.-igm-tic Cura
tives, has caused them to be counterfeited by un
principled persons. To prob'd the public
against deception there is but ONE AUTHOR

from whom nlonu the Gkni/ink article cau be pro
