!n one of tho lowers of out Milled j»cv>\lc correspondent,
it was incidentally slated, that “Mr. Rush had been sunt
abroad to ucguciato loans fur tho Kaltiimiru and Ohio
Ruil Road.” This assertion is denied in tho Haliitunrc
Gazotto, the editor of which subjoins tho remark “for
our information, and that of others not acquainted with
ftlQ fact, that tho Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road was pro
jected by Baltimore enterprise, and has been catriedtu
ifs present prosperous and udvauccd stage by Baltimore
capital alone—and that no resort has ever been had to
foreign aid in the prosecution of the undertaking. The
correspondent oftlie Georgian it adds, should have writ
fen Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, of Washing-
fun, instead of Baltimore and Ohio Rail Rond Compa
ny, as Blr. Rush visited England on behalf of the former
corporation—and as Ills mission hud no connection with
tho concern* of the latter in any manner whatever.”
We can assufc tho worthy editor oftlie Gazette that
the error of which he complains was unintentional on the
part of our correspondent, as its publication was an over
sight on tho part of ourselves—as a sufficient proof of
which we thus take tho opportunity of correcting it.

Florida Bounpaiiv.—TIio subjoined Report was
read and adoplcd in tho Sonata on tho 28th ult.
Tho Joint Committee on the Stutcof tho Republic to
whom was roferred that port of tho Governor's Mes
sage, which relates to tho boundary linn between the
Slato of Georgia and tho Territory of Florida, Report—
That it is with extrema regret they learn thnt the lino
dividing this Slate from the. Territory of Florida, it yet
unmarked, and still the subject of controversy between
this State and tho United States. Thnt it has been the
mibfoitiiuo not the fault of Georgia, thnt sho has long
been embroiled in disputes respecting her boundury
lines, is no less true than deprccutcd by he r, mid yet so
long as sho has been urged by imperious duty to contend
fur her rights, either with the United Slates or any of
her sister Slates, it gives her consolation to know that
in none of these controversies has sho ever subjected
herself to the imputation of disregarding the rights of
others—nr of having refused to listen tu thu voice of rea
son or of justice.
That It is still her duty to persevere in tho enforce
ment of her rights until they tire recognized und establish
ed, none will deny. The Legislature would bo grossly
negligent in Us duty to tho people of tho Stute, and es
pecially thut pot lion of them bordering immediately upon
tho line in dispute, were they any lunger to delay tho
prosecution of the most rigorous measures to spi ed this
controverted point to u fair and equitable adjustment.
It is high time that Georgia should know* her boundary
lines ; # that sho has* a right to the occupation of tho
land to the truo line w hich separates it from tho Territo
ry of Florida, as well r.s the jurisdiction thereof, nil must
admit. Thut tho line to run duectly from Iho junction
of the Flint and Chatnhoochio rivers to thu 'suitreo or
head of the St. Mary's river, is tho Into line of division,
is as certain as it can be rnmle by treaty stipulation, is
beyond all question. There really ought to bo no diffi
culty in settling the matter. The course of the lino be
ing plainly designated, us also the point of beginning nnd
termination specitinully pointed out, and both being na.
tural points, and their description too, not floating in thu
uncertain recollection of man, but reduced to thu great
est possible certainty that language con make it, nnd in
serted in nn obligation of the most solemn kind, betw een
independent sovereignties, it w ould appear to tho Com
mittee to leave t o room for controversy. It is useless
for this Committee again to enter into on argument of
the question in relation to thu locatiui of this lino. So
full, so perfect a view of the same w as presented in a re
port of tho Commit too on the Slate of the Republic, at
the Inti cession of the Legislature, to whim that sub
ject w*tmreferred, tht t it is only necessary to refer to
that r< port to establish the truth und justice of our cause
und lii’ly to sustuin ll.it course which the State is pr.rsu-
mgNnichuion to that matter-
The New Haven Advertiser, containing the
errors made in statement of tho Herald of
the samo place relative to the Weal.India
Trade of that port, remarks:—“ Wo should
not thank the exact accuracy of such a state
ment (it was probably intended merely ns-an
nproximation) of any importance, did it not
by being so large, indicate a decree of pros
perity which does not exist. It is well known
thut the commercial interests of this place
have sustained great injury, by the loss of a
profitable trade, which had been for some
time established with tho English West In
dies. To the difficulties occasioned by an
indirect trade, has been added nn enormous
duty on the articles heretofore imported from
the’West Indies. The whole profit of tho
voyage is now made on tho outward cargo;
a return cargo, cannot be Bulely purchased.
This profit is so reduced by expenses of re
shipments, brokerage, commissions, deten
tions, und discounts for cash, that very little
encouragement is afforded to those who con
tinue the business. Indeed nothing but tho
enterprise, prudence, activity and experience
of our shipping merchants could sustain them
in this depression.
This stagnation of business is not peculiar
to Now Haven, all the sea ports in the U. S.
arc suffering more or less, according to the
extent of their West India busines, from tho
same causes. Any one who has witnessed
the silence which prevails in the ship yards
of New York, will need no better monitor to
warn him of tho inactivity and insecurity of
men engaged in commercial purposes. The
transaction of any business, under such unfa
vorable circuinstanr.es indicates a most com
mendable perseverance, which deserves
better return.”
Whittemorr.—In allusion to the inven
tion of the curd-making machine, Whittc-
more, tho Berkshire American says—“ we
cannot but regret thut talented genius should
languish in this country for want of nnrtron-
ago, which is not extended with the fostering
hand that is required to support tho modest
und frequently unpretending inventor. The
invention of Mr. Whittcinoro formed a now
era in tho mechanical ingenuity of this
country, and tho real importance of the ma
chine can hardly be estimated. As a piece
ofmcchani8m, it» has never been excelled;
strips of smooth leather and rolls of wire are
placed on one end of the apparatus, and .'tin.*
intricate process of cutting the leuthorto tho
exact size and pricking tho holes is perform

Thj: Admiral and tiir Editor.—The

pers published at Smyrna in the French lan

and tho other tho .Smyrna Gazette. The
Russian Admiral has addressed the following
letter to the editor oftlie Eastern Courier:—
Sir—Tired of all the lies inserted by the
Courier of Smyrna in his Gazette, 1 beg you
to publish In your Eastern Courier that it is
an infamous he tlint M. l)o ltigiiey interceded
for tho Egyptians on hoard of t’ho Lioness
corvette, to stop tho pillugo. M, l)o Rigney
never interfered in tho a flair, directly or in
directly. It was an infamous lio that there
was any misunderstanding between mo nnd
Admiral Matcom, us to the Inking of the
Egyptian corvette. I do not believo I ever
spoke, much less wrote, to him on the sub
ject. Tho editor of t he Smyrna Gazette may

but l warn him to be very silent us to me and

From the PhUutUljihia Chroukh, .Vow. 23.
Some of the passengers nnd crow of tho
schooner Hope & Polly, of Georgetown, 1).
C., urrived in this city in tho steam bout
from Bordontown. A passenger givos the
following account of tho wreck of the vessel
on Bocehy Island, 09 the New Jersey coast.
O11 Thursday, tho 12th iuet. she sailed from
Halifax, N. N., ballasted with plaster, and
having on board a considerable sum of money
the proceeds of a cargo of Hour. On last
Monday morning, tho wind blowing very
hard from S. E. attd very thick fog coming
pp, tho schooner struck violently upon the
island—no suspicion having been entertain
ed that hind was near. She bilged immedi
ately, und soon went to pieces. Tho pas
sengers und crew, twenty three in number, all
reached land safely, with ns much of their
property as they could carry with them.—
They were then assailed by wreckers, who
took whatever they could. Our informant
was plundered of his cont,und ordered to give
up his trunk. This he refused to part with ;
and, seating himself upon it, drew his knife
to defend himself und his property. Ho was
then alloyed to keep it. The luckless voy
agers afterwards reached the main land with
out difficulty ; hired wagons, which curried
them to Bordontown, and thence canto here.
Two gentlemen at New-York, recently walked off
tho worf. They were rescued, however, whit no injury
from tho cold duck they had taken.
A man was lately fined jC10 in London, Ter selling a
jicnueyworlh of sand, without a liccurr.
It is mentioned in 01m of tho New York
papers us a rumor, that Mr. Webster means
to remove from Boston to New York.
A Compromise.—The triul of Mr. Gard
ner, tho Register at Tiffin in Ohio, fora Libel,
hociuh to have occasioned some excitement
itt that Siuto. 11c was found Guilty, and the
amount of damages was $425. But tho cu
rious pnrt of tlio story is that of paper, on
which tho opinion of each juror was placed,
wero put into a hut. That tho damages for
the plaintiff, varied from 6} cents, to $1500.
That the whole oftho several sums wero then
ndded together aud divided 12!! The result
is apparent.
Presentments or tiii* Grand Jury or
Bryan County.—December Term, 1829.—
The Grand Jury for tho county of Bryan hav
ing taken into consideration tho two Acts of
the Legislature, in relation to gaining and
negro trading, nnd tho ^ciicrul affitirs of the
County, have the calhdaction to state to his
Honor Judge Law, that they have no pre
sentments to tnuko iu relation to either of
these subjects. They congratulate t hemsel
ves and their fellow citizens in general, in
having the pleasure of meeting for tho first
time, his Honor on the Bench, and would as
sure his Honor of their entire confidence
both in his ability nnd integrity to discharge
the public justice of tho country. Wo cannot
but believe, that if there can he any guarantee
to the pure- administration of justice, that
guarantee must alone be fouuded in the
confidence which wo entertain, iu the taki.ts
and ability of him who is called to ad
minister that Justice, but more particulars
upon tho purity of motive and moral
integrity hy which ho will lo governed.
Believing his Honor to possess this tal
ent and integrity, wo would assure him of
our respect, aud will on every occasion
while he presides over our rights, afford him
every facility in our power, in the discharge
of his duties.
Before wo take leave of his Honor Judge
Law, wc beg to express our gratification in
the appointment ol’tho present Solicitor Gen
eral, for the Eastern Circuit—nnd feel every
confidence that he will do honor to his office,
by the promptness ami ability with which he
will discharge tho duties devolving on him.

REMARKS,
COTTON.—Tim sales of Uplands since our last re
port will amount to about 3,COO bales, ut from 0 a 9 3-1
cents, ond in sumo few instunccs9 7-8 a 10 cents have
been paid for small parcels of extra fino qiiuhty.—
The sales however havo been mostly at 9 1-4 a 0 6-B
for fino to prime lots. Within the last few days tho re
ceipts havo been largo, (siy 10,000 bales during the
week,) und the quantity offering induces purchasers to
hold off with a view of buying at lower rates; and we
think it would bo difficult to effect sales unless at a re
duction of1-8 or M cent on all descriptions except
{.trictlv nrimo. The lust dates from Augusta state the
river again to bo falling, and that freights in consequence
had advanced. Wo may therefore calculate that the
receipts for tho ensuing week will bo less than those ot
tho Inst, Iu Sea Islands tho demand continues limited
at prices within our range, say from 22 a 2o, and up
wards for f.itiny brutids.
HICK,—-Tho demand fur prime qualities continues
rry fair, und thin description sells us last us It is offer
ed. The sales uf tho week will probably amount to from
GOO lo 700 tierces, at $2 1 -4 u 2 3-4, mostly at 2 5-8 a
2 3-4. Wo quote from 2 1-4 a 2 3-1, and for very
prime $3.
