H lentlum Ballioadi n
Mr. Marshall, Prealdent of tbe " Bouthom Ball-
waa heard by our City Connell, at Itolaat
1 meeting, in an appead for a subscription to this Im
portant enterprise. The Connell very wisely deter-
' mined to submit the question for the dcolsion of the
- people of Savannah, In town meeting, to be held at
the eall of bis honor the Mayor.
As bearing directly upon this application, we pnb-
. llah to-day a large portion of a speech delivered last
May, In the Congress of the United States, by Mr.
FnxmuN, of Mississippi. From It, tho fact will be
learned that bills have three times passed the Senate,
making an appropriation of pnbllo lands nearly equal
to the cost of the wqrk in tbeir prospective value, to
this road, for which Mr. Marshall asks a subscrip
tion from this city. Those bills failed in the House
; of Bepreaentatives, because, In the progress of busi
ness, they were not reached. Yet, that this appro
priation mil be made, there Is abundant reason for
believing.
It la desired that Savannah shall Issue her bonds in
(hvor of tbe road, for the amount of three hundred
thousand dollars—the company engaging to pay tho
interest on those bonds op to tho time of the com
pletion of the road. Whence, then, and how, Is to
arise the Increase of taxes, from this subscription,
Which has alarmed tbe fears of some? la there an
intelligent man who doubts that its stock will be at
paras soon as the road is completed? If there bo,
we have not seen him. With, thon, her stock at par,
as soon as the work is done, the city has only to sell
her stock to pay off her bonds—on which she will not
hove paid one cent of Interest.
Thus this city may effectually aid, In the construc
tion of a work of tho first importance to herself and
the whole Southern country,withont tho expenditure
of a dime. Bnt we feel authorised to say more than
this.
To the Illinois Central Road, Congress has made
an appropriation of public lands which it Is believed,
being brought into market when the road is finished,
Will sell for.an amount equal to the whole cost of the
work. If so its stockholders will own stock in one of
the best roads in the Union, which would have cost
them, virtually, nothing on the dollar! The appn*
priation to that road, per mile, is precisely the
game which the Senate has three Bevera[~timcs voted
to the ** Southern Road.” Suppose that vote confirm
ed by. the house of Representatives, and the lands
th’na given sbalLprove to be worth per acre, only half
an miigiMfrtfiose given to the Illinois road. We havo
^AbtiTas a gift (nota subscription) lands which, when
brought into market, after tho oomplotion of the road,
will pay one half its cost. Oat of that sale of lands
there will then be due to this city, on the account of
her subscription, (supposing sho subscribes $300,000)
the aam of $150,000. With this let her pay off half
her bonds—she will then hold, at a cost $150,000 in
bonds, stock to the amount of $300,000, in a road pay
ing handsome dividends. Theso may, and will to
many, Beem the calculations of an inflamed imagina
tion ; yet we believe them no more irrational than
those which govern trading men and capitalists in the
•very day transitions of life.
Tbe power which Savannah has to embark in snch
a scheme, calling neither now nor beroafter for the
expenditure of one dollarjn money, she owes to her
unbounded credit. If sho Is wlso Blie will wisely
•vaiUwreelf of that credit to advance hor interests
and bring undying honor npon her name.
Since writing the foregoing, we have received an
Interesting communication from Mr. Marshall,
which we have concluded to reserve for Monday. The
meeting of citizens to act upon the subject, will pro
bably coma off Tuesday.

morning, of the proceedings of a railroad meeting,
which convened at Montloello, Fla., on tho 11th.
The country between Fort Kearny and Fort Laramie
Is a vast, undulating, sandy desert—but little wood or wa
ter—totally destitute of interest, and utterly worthless, and
must remain so forever i It never can be inhabited to any
extent, as there Is no soil, and the seasons are too short.* ”
“ The distance between these two plaoes Is three hundred
and sixty-lire miles. In one place, wood for cooking has
1 ia4 ntfre days, In wsgons, and, in
tobecamtoforthreeeonsecut . ,
several places, it Is necessity to carry water.
•‘The road 'from Independence, after passing through a
country of poor eoll, and very destitute of wood for a great
dtstanoe, passes over lofty and rugged mountains near
Santa Fe.
“ Lieutenant Colonel Emory states that the arable soil
upon this toad extends to the ninety-ninth degree of longi
tude Therefore. If a road could be made from the Mtnouri
river to California. It would pass through a very barren
country which could not be settled or Improved; whereas,
one constructed through the country we have passed over,
from Dona Ana (El I’assol to Fort Smith, with the protec
tion which a chain of military posts along the route would
afford, would open a vast traot of beautiful country to the
notico of agriculturists, and would be settled in a very short

From the barren, Mgtd, anddlsolateploture, we turn with

The Law off Colored Seamen.
Tbe coso of Reuben Roberta vs. Jeremiah D. Yates,
Esq., Sheriff of Charleston District, was brought ap
yesterday by consent or Judge Gilchrist, os in a spe
cial terra of the U. B. Circuit Court, Judgo Wayno
having been again prevented from attending. Tho
cose was disposed of in quite a summary mannor, the
facts being all admitted by agreement, and no argu
ment entered into boyond a necessary statement on
each side. As tho name of Reuben Roberts will per
haps be transmitted to fame in connection with the
further progress and discission of his case, we men
tion, for the information of all concerned, that ho Is a
fell blooded nogro.now about twenty-fonr years of
ago, although apparently much older. (It has been
orten remarked, that negroes wear their age better in
slavery than in any other state.) He Is a native of
Nassau, in New Providence, an island of the Bahama
group, and was lately a cook on board a British
schooner, the Clyde, Captain Bethel, which vessel ar
rived at this port from Baracoa, on the 19th of May,
1852. On that day the Sheriff of Charleston District,
as directed by the law, (A. A. 1835,) boarded tho ves
sel, arrested the cook Roberts, and confined him In
jail, where he was detained until tho vessel was
ready for sea. The Clyde accordingly was cleared
for Baracoa, on tbe 26th May, on whtoh day Roberts
was re-placed on board by the 8borlff, making the
perbd of detention and lmprisonmenteight days, and
for this bis salt was brongnt in tho form of an action
In trespass for assault, battery, aud false imprison
ment, the damages being laid at $4000.
Tbe plaintiff was represented by Messrs. Pettigrn
who hatfbecn charged witlftbo c&so by tho State ^and
Messrs. A. P. Butler, O. O. Memminger and Edward
MoCrndy as special counsel. Although in form an
ordinary private action for damages it Is known to all
that the case involves and depends npon the constitu
tionality and validity of tho several laws of Sonth
Carolina relating to colored Beamen and Immigrants,
and especially the act of the 19th December, 1835,
under which Sheriff Yatos acted la this matter. Tho
test quostion was submitted nakodly and simply os
the substantial lacts of tbo case were admitted with
out evidence or contest, and it was also admitted that
the Sheriff had strictly-pHWUed’tho course prescribed
by our laws.-*"
_ Ttecase was opened briefly by J. L.Pcttlgru.Esq.,
‘who read tbe pleadings. The declaration was in the
ordinary form, specifying tho facta of tho case, and
paying damages ; and was mot by tho general Issue,
and also a special plea admitting the fact alleged as
a trespass, and setting forth in Justlflcatlon the sever-
al acts of South Carolina on the aubjcct of colored
seamen, from 1794 to 1835. To this special plea tho
plaintiff entered a replication, "dc injuria sun, and
upon this issue waa joined. The polnt9 Indicated aa
tfioso chiefly relied on by the plaintiff are tho Com
mercial Convention between Great Britain and the
United StatC8,oftho 3d of July, 1815, the Reciproci
ty Act of Congress of the 29th of May, 1830, and the
proclamrtion of President Jaukson, issued In confor
mity to the said act, on the 6th of Oct., 1830.
For the defence, Attorney General llayne after
producing & witness, (Mr. Kanapaux) to prove that
Roberta was a negro, made a similar brief statement
of facta and references. The defence was bussed on
the following points : Several Acta of tho General
Assembly of this State, which for the convenience of
onr legal readers, we will specify by their dates, by
which ail may be found, (7tu Statutes at largo)— 20th
Dec. 1794—20th Dec. 1800—19th Dec. 1801—18th
Dec. 1802—17th Dec. 1803—20th Dec. 1820-21stDcc.
1822—20th Deo. 1823—29th Dec. 1825, and 19th Dec.
1835.
Tho defendant In addition refers for Justification
and authority to tha Act ot.Qangreas of 28th Feb., 1,-
803, concerning " the importation of certain persons
into certain States,” (2d U.S. Statutes, ot large, 205.)
These facts and references having been submitted
without argument, Judge Gilchrist briefly charged tbe
jury that the position of tbe case called upon him on
ly to givo his opinion without argument or reason.—
He considered tho acts of tho State, under which the
defendant jnstilled, aa valid and constitutional, and
under this direction, the Jury—A. H. Hayden, Esq.,
foreman, accordingly brought in a general verdict for
the defendant. The plaintiff submitted in dno form a
bill of exceptions to the Judges’ charge, and the case
will accordingly go up to tho Supreme Court of the
United StateB.

counsel that wijl appear befero that august tribunal,

"Tbe advantages which this route possesses over others,
adapt It, In a prominent degree, to tbe construction of a
railroad. For (he reasons I nave mentioned, and from all
tbe examination and consideration which I have been able
to giro tbe auhject, I cannot resist the strength of my own
convictions, that any experienced and Impartial engineer,
after a thorough and careful reconnolssance of all the dif
ferent routes, would at once givo this the preference over
any other.
"From Dona Ana, or El Paso, to near where we crossed
Red river—a distance of seven hundred miles—there are,
probably, as few difficulties to encounter aa upon any other
road tliat can bo found In our country. Throughout this
entire distance, It would not be necessary to makt a single
tunnel, or to use a stationary ongino. There would be but
few heavy excavations or embankments; and. for a great
portion of tho distance, tho surfaco of tho earth la so per
fectly firm and smooth, that It would appear to have been,
designed by the Great Architect of tho Universe for a rail

ORANT OF UNO TO CALIFORNIA AND NEW MEXICO.
All that Is now necessary to be dono to Insure the oom-
plotlon of this entire road, Is for congress to pas* the bill*
rnported by the committee, ^muting lauds Vo Mississippi
and loulslaua tor the construction of the road through
shose States, and to grant also to the Territory or New
Mexico and the Stato of California a track of land equiva
lent to thirty miles In width on each side of tho lino of
the road with the privUege of locating the land on the
northern side of the roaa, in the event that Us runs so
near the Mexican line as to prevent its location on the
south side. Such a donation would enable the Legislatures
of that State and Territory to put tho road under contract
for It* Immediate construction.
By granting the right of way and tho land to the State
and Territory, and permitting those local governments to
control the construction of the road, wo not only perform a
bounden duty to thoso infont republics, hut avoid the ob
jection of establishing a system of internal improvements
by the Federal Government. At the same time wo bring
to our aid all the influence of Stato pride, Stato Interest,
nnd State wealth : and tho States, by their local legislation,
induce private enterprise and private capital to enlist in the
samo cause. While this powerful combination of interest
and of capital cannot foil of success, it will bind the i
pie of the American Union together by a mutual self-ini
cst. stronger tahn all the ties of Federal legislation.

Speech of Hon. J. D. Freeman,
or Missusim,
In the Route of Rejrretentative*. May 0. 1852. relative to rail
roads in Miuitnm and Alabama, and proposing the am-
itruction of an Atlantic and Pacific Railway from Charles
ton, South Carolina, anti Savannah, Georgia, via Vicksburg,
to San Diego, on Ihe Pacific.
Mr. Freeman, from tho Committee on Public lands, re
ported hack without nmendment, and with a rccommenda
tlon that it do pass, the following Senate bill, which wns
read, and referred to the Committeo of the Whole on tho
state of tho Union, nnd ordered to bo printed, viz: S. 72.
“ An act. granting to theSteto of Mississippi the right of
way, and * donation of public lands, for tho purpose of to-
eating and constructing a railroad from llranuon to the
eastern boundary of that State, in tho direction of Mont
gomery Alabama."
Mr. Freeman said:
Mr. Speaker: This bill for tho Mississippi road has passed
the Senate three times, and has foiled in this House on
each occasion because it was not reached on tho Calendar
before Congress adjourned. I hope, therefore, that the
House will Indulgo me with an attentive ear, while 1 state
a few of the leading facts connected with this enterprise.
The road from Brandon the to Alabama line passes through
a portion of the public lands, and Is ninety-threo miles in
length; It has been surveyed and located, and thoNtatois
now engaged in grading the road. Tlio public lands through
which this road runs, have been In market seventeen years,
and are the poorest quality of pine lauds. Dy a law of the
State of Mississippi, tho assessors of taxes havo been re
quired to ascertain tho quantity and the value per acre of
all the public lands In that State. I hold in my hand the
official returns of those officers, from whicli it appears that
the averago value of tho lands In ten counties adjoining this
lino of road, Is twenty-two and a half cents per acre : nnd
unless this road is built they connot be sold at nil. Hence
it will be seen that the Federal Government havo much to
gain and nothing to lose by making this grant.
From Brandon, west, to the city of Jackson, tlio State has
completed thirteen miles of road, and made it part of the
same line. From Jackson to Vicksburg on tho Mississippi
river, a railroad has been In operation for many years ; so
that these roads, when completed, will span tbo State, from
Vicksburg, on the Mississippi river, to the Alabama line.—
The State of Mississippi has already invested $400,000 in
these roads. The State of Alabama has chartered a road
running from Montgomery the capital of the State, to con
nect with the Mississippi road at tne line of the two States,
nnd has made a large loan of money to a company to con
struct that part of tho road. From Montgomory, Ala., to
Savannah, ua., and to Charleston, 8. C., there is a continu
ous line of railroad, except fifty miles, from West Foint to
Newnan, Ga. These fifty miles are already nearly graded,
and will be In operation in the course of a year. The com
pletion of theso roads connects the great valloy of the Mis
sissippi with the Atlantic Ocean at Savannah nnd Charles
ton, From these points, we havo already steamboat and
railroad communication with all tho Atlantic cities, and
thence to the Interior of all the Attantio, Northom and
Western States and Territories, on the east side of the Rocky
Mountains.
RAILROAD FROM VICXSBDRO TO BAN DIEGO ON TTIX PACIFIC.
The Committeo on Public Lands propose, by a bill 1 am
directed to report, to continue this southern chain of rail
road from Vicksburg, on the Mississippi river, directly west,
to Shreveport, on Red river, and thence to the Texas line.—
A survey of the route, from the Mississippi river across the
State olLnulstena to the Great Bond on
river, has been
made by W. H. SIdeU, civil engineer, undor the direction of
the Federal Government. He reporte that the route is In
all respects feasible, and that a railroad with a single track,
with Iron weighing sixty pounds to the yard, and otherwise
well constructed, will cut at the rate of *18,313por mile.
I am Informed by the delegation on the floor from Texas,
that the Legislature of that State has already granted the
right of way, and donated a tract of land eight miles to
width for the entire length of the road, to aidlts construc
tion through the territory of that State, a distance of about

ness of tho climate, the uniform and firm surfaco of the
earth, tho fertility of the soil. Its numerous valuablo pro
ductions, aud It* capacity to furnish Immediate support to
a dense population, together with tho abundance of the
best building material everywhere at hand, I am warranted
in saying that most of tho road may be built at an average
cost of $15,000 per milo, which would mako nn aggregate of
$27,375,000 to build the road from Vicksburg to San Diego.
•This estimate o fdistnnce from Vicksburg to San Diego 1*
believed to bo too great by one hundred miles.
WHITNEY’S NORTHERN PACinO RAILROAD.
I am aware, air. that Mr. Whitney’s project has many
friends In the United States; but for this lie is more in
debted for the great anxiety that prevails for a
cheap communication with our vast interests on
- Jaclflc,
than for any merit pertaining to the location of life road, or
his achemo for its construction. The distanco from New
York city to Lake Michigan is eight hundred miles. From
this point Mr. Whitney proposes to construct a railway to
the mouth of the Uolumbia river on the Pacific, which is
about ono thousand flvo hundred miles north of San Fran
cisco and the gold mines.
Tho distance from IaVo Michigan to the mouth of the
-.Whil
Columbia is estimated by Mr. Whitney at 2200 miles, which
Is nearly 700 miles further than the routo from Vicksburg
to San Diego, and nearly as far as tho entire southern ronte
from New York. In hi* memorial to Congress In 1848, Mr.
Congress In
Whitney states his plan in these words:
. Ms pi -
“ Your memorialist would now represent and explain tbe
ilm sixty miles wide of the public lands (ana an
equivalent for any^whlch _toay have been taken up) from
Lake Michigan to the Pacific! ocean, for tbla special purpose
He has explored and examined a part of the route; and
from the lake onward, for£00 miles, the land is of the very
— , and
..wm »uo i44v U4J4I441U, tor fiOO mile*, the land Is of the very
best quality, but nearly 600 milts of this 800 withoutAhn-
ber, and then no timber on to the Rocky Mountains. That
after this 800 miles, onward nearly to the ocean, the land Is
represented as very poor—too poor to sustain settlement;
therefore the whole work Is based upon 800 miles of the first
part, with th* belief that the facilities which the road would
create and give to settlement, intercourse, and communica
tion with the markets, would render » part of the poor land
useful and valuable.*’
From this tt will be seen that Hr Whitney, although oc
cupied solely for many years on this scheme, has only ea
rn miles In plored his proposed route to the Rocky Mountains, and he
has no accurate Information on which to rest the belief that
his road can cross the mountains at alL
Again, he says, fly* hundred of the first eight hundred
miles of bis route is * without timber, and then no timber
on to tbe Rocky Mountain*and that th* balance of the
route, being fourteen hundred miles, Is “too poor to sustain
. a* otherwise impenetrable chain of ihe Rocky Mountains,
and on eltherslde spread out before us tho grand plateaus
that now Invite our free and thriving millions to their rich
and toamingbosoms, and frrnlih alike the ample means
and the inexorable necessity of constructing the Atiantio

COMMUNICATION.
Tlio following communication was road, and, on motion of
Alderman Arnold, referred to the Committee on Public Edu
cation, ami ordered to be published, vis:
The undersigned, appointed by tho Inferior Court of Chat
ham county as School Commissioners fpr thu part or said
county within the corporate limits of Savannah, beg leave to
represent to tho honorable Board of Aldermen of tho city of
Savannah, that It plainly appears to bo practicable to es
tablish a permanent and successful system of education for
a largo portion of the children of this city, who may be thus
placed In a good school without expense to their parents
and guardians.
Tho Interest of tho fund established by the Inferior Court,
and the increased amount of money to bo received from the
Stato upon condition of making the requisite returns under
the direction of the commissioners ; together with other re
sources which nro legitimately in expectation of the com
missioners, will mnke an amount sufficient to defray the ex
penses of one forgo school, with such departments, and such
stibsidary aid, as, It Is believed, would insure Its success. •
Tlio means, however, are wanting to ohtatn a lot and to
erect n suitable building. If a lot Is obtained, your peti
tioners are in expectation ot receiving such an appropria
tion from the Inferior Court, that with the rovonuo to be re
ceived for ono year from tho above mentioned sources for
public education will enable them to eroct a building that
will answer the purposes intended.
Tho institution. In order to accomplish the object in view,
should bo eligibly located, with respect to all points of the
community; and a lot Is accordingly desired not too far
from the centre of population.
Believing that the Corporation of Savannah, the appoint
ed guardian of the public welfare, must appreciate tho no-
cessity of securing the noble end here contemplated, the
undersigned respectfully memorialize your honorable body,
praying for a grant of not loss than two thousand dollars,
or for a lot of the city’s lands of equivalent value, which the
Commissioners may he authorized to uso for school pur
poses, oithor by building thereon, or selling tlio same for
money, to be invested In asuitablo lot.
This is tlio only plan by which tho Commissioners can see
that they will be able to do anything of real value for the
•important interest which I* committed to tliolr charge ; as
without such grant and such co-operation as are above
mentioned, they will not have It in their power to expen
tho funds nt their disposal, to any practical advantage,

Thore was a good demand for most qualities of tills articlo
during the preceding week, which however, gradually fell

the week closed upon a quiet but firm market, with the
Middling qualities valued at 10»^(n)io*ic , and Middling
Fair and Fair at lO’^fJJllc. Thus stood the position of at- 1
fairs, when the trade were nut In possession of the accounts
by the steamer Alps, and tlioso still more favorable brought
OAerby tho Amorica. These advices stimulated the de
mand, and during the first two day*r between 5000/736000

a range of figures Indicating a decided improvement on tho
quotations given In our report of the 16th. The receipt,
however, subsequently of th* political ndvices by the latter

damper upon ourmarket, and tho demand In a great meas
ure coased with !ho close of the latter dar.
