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 divided aetinu, and create the feeling that we also ure one people. \Vo ought, the/cmro, to colli- vate kind feelings with the great west und make them oar frieuds, by nmkiug it their interest to be eo.

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.

Readiug Room in 2d story, next to Gio office. Friiiting Office in 3d story. 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 a Whig Meeting on Monday ovouing, Mr. Burri- •n responded to . certain ctmiplimotilury resolu tions “in a most ablo and eloquent address which was rooelved with uitiiouudud applause.

This is all 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 territory from'Mexico? - Does huor does hu not 'still adhere to the loiter of his famous auti-acquisi- titnresolutions?

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." Ttie (.corginnx In the Field. Wo arc indebted to the Muscogee Democrat fur an Extra of Nov. 29th, with a letter from their Vera Cruz Correspondent, "Fetor A." The letter is dated Nov. 17th.

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.

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.
