Laramie, In which ha speaks of the country In the following 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.

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 time, _ . i . ig not/only exceedingly rugged, but Is so elevated that, If one may be lieve his own sense, it Is petered for many months In tbe year wlthalmQetlmMwabl«saoff» n * socnixajr FAono no era.

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. The questions Involved and the omlnorit array of counsel that wijl appear befero that august tribunal, will mako the cose nn object of interest and attraction although of the final result, wo need not suy that wc entertain no donbt. "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 road, and adapted and fitted, by nature’s handiwork, for tbe superstructure.

With regard to the harbor of San Diego, Major Emory says: "At present, San DIogo Is. all things considered, perhaps one of the best harbors on tne const from Callao to l’uget’s 8ound. with a single exception—that of San Francisco. In tbe opinion of some Intelligent navy officers. It is preferable oven to this.

Is a route for more practlcablo for a road or railway than that known aa Cook’s road : that the dls- tnnee from water to wator is less / that the hills and moun tains to be crossed are Inflnltelj-Jlcss In height, and easier to pass ; and lastly, that there is a saving in the distanco between this route and Cook’s of more than one hundred miles. I say this with confidence, having twice been over Colonel Cook’s road, nearly to 8an l’ero." "To show the practicability of our route for waggons, I will state that Lieutenant Whlnplo had one waggon, Mr. Gray and myself another, and Colontl Graham threo, mak ing five in all, which camo through without difficulty."

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 The Integrity and perpetuity of the Union demand tho instruction of this road. Nature has not only the surface of the earth for the reception of the is gigantic rece ipt horao, with nil his paraphernalia, but excavntod the Rock; Mountains for his transit, and profusely strewn his pall with all tho necossary material to perfect his course.

With the wonderful facilities afforded by the perpetual mild 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 and Pacific Railway, .

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, A.
