Thfl W«yn«boro*#h tnd Aogn*U Ro^l hy log ton
put in running order throughoot ita wholo length,
yesterday was wade the occasion o( an excursion or
m *>•!! party of ladles and gentlemen from thia dt T
to August*. Probably Any persona left the Central
depot at 5 minutes after six o'clock, lu tiro hours
we were in August*.
The Augusta and Wayneaborongh Road, an object
of great Interest to all on board, wx* found to be an
admirable work, In excellent condition. We have |
never been before on ho new a road over which tho ,
oars ran so smoothly. All felt that, though owing to |
a succession of most untoward circumstances, the
work had been slowly done, yet it had been most
faithfully done.
Augusta, we wero not surprised to And, thorough
ly CRy like In Its appearance. To the kindness of
Col. (Iardmkk, of the CamatUwtiomalut, we were in
debted for a ride through and around It. On all sides
were to bo seen unmistakable Indication* of tho pres
ence of thrift, enterprise, tasto and capital. A town
with an hundred thousand Inhabitants need not l»e
ashamed of Hroad Street »s its principal business
thoroughfare.
The company having had an opportunity of taking
a bird's-eye view of the city, were welcomed by its
Mayor, Dr. Dkari.su, at tho hour of two o clock, to
an admirable impromptu entertainment, act out at
the Planter’s Hotel. This was, of course, a very
agreeable surprise to the cxeursionl-U. They made
the visit supposing they were to take dinner on their
own account, and after a tew hours quietly spent,
quietly to return. Instead of this, tho hospitality of
our sister city welcomed them to an entertainment
ns excellent os it was unexpected. Thu time from
two until a quarter past three o’clock was most de
lightfully and joyously passed in discussing it. And
brief os was tho space, quite a number of toasts, and
acvcral very graceful little speeches, wero crowded
Into it. Amoug those heard from, we recollect Messrs.
Dkahinu, Garun hr, Miller, Jckkins and Holt, of
Augusta,uud Messrs. Lawton,Cuvlsk,CoitKN, l av,
Spkevkn and Futnuta, of this city. Paiikk God
win, Esq., was called out in response to a toast com
plimenting the press.
Between half post tlireo and four o’clock tho cars
were on their return trip. They reached Savannah
about nine o’clock. The distance travelled was
somewhat more than two hundred and sixty miles ;
the time spent in Augusta a little less than live hours.
On our way back to the city, the following resolu
tions were adopted, Solomon Cohen, Esq., being in
the Chair and Mr. Fay acting as Secretary, to wit: j
Restored, That the very hospitable welcome recciv-,
cd at the hands of the citizens or Augusta, lun been i
os gratifying and acceptable as it was gracefully ex- j
tcudi d by bis lion. Mayor Hearing.
Resolved, That wc tender our hearty thanks, and (
ho|»c for an early opportunity to reciprocate the cour
tesies received.
Resolved, That our thanks are also due to the Pro- .
sidenta and officers ol tho Central and the Waynes-1
boro’ Railroads for tho opportunity offered us ior so
much enjoyment.
Swindler* In August*.
The Chronicle, ot the 25th, says two young men of
genteel appearance, very well dressed, who registered j
their names at the hotel as Joiin R. IIoi.linsm.vn. j
and Hbnhy A. Dvvey, were arrested in that city a
few days since on a chnrgo of swindling. On ex-!
aminntion before Justice Olin, they wero committed 1
for trial on three charges of swindling, und one ior j
an ultempt to swindle. It appears that one of them |
would loiter around some secluded part of the city, j
while tho other would very adroitly seduce tho victim ■
Into a walk, in tho course ol which they would meet J
Ills accomplice, who would propose a bet on a “ Mexi-1
cun box came," the accomplice would take tiic bet,)
and borrow all the victim’s money by pledging a
worthless check, drawn on some Hank in the city,
by some fictitious linn, and promise to return to the
hotel immediately, und redeem tho check by replacing
the money. In this way the rogues have succeeded
in obtaining several hundred dollars.
They arc to have u lurthcr examination on another
charge.
Tub Mails.—Owing to tho recent severe snow
storm in tho North, extending very generally from
Richmond to Boston, tho mails were for several day*
completely ob-tructed. Yesterday morning we re
ceived a large number of our Northern exchanges
past due. We find in them, however, littlcjof special
interest beyond what wc have already given by tele
graph.
Tiir Nebraska Hill in Pennsylvania.—At a
Democratic Convention held in Pittsburgh, on the
22d, delegates were elected to tho State Convention,
and instructed to vote for Gov. Uigicr. Resolutions
in favor of the national administration and the No.
bra.ska bill were passed. Anti-Douglas resolutions
were laid on the table alter an exciting debate.
Death op PimsKii Ul'dplk.—We regret see an
nounced the recent decease, in Philadelphia, of Mr. 1
IIvtuu.K. late Purser of the steamship Keystone Stnt•.
A few weeks sinco ho received serious injury from tin
sudden parting of u rope, while on board the steamer |
in our harbor, which we understand to l« the primn
ry cause of his death. As a gentleman he was highly
esteemed for his many excellent qualities of head and
heart, and as an officer for ids prompt and efficient
discharge of every duty. The press of this city were
constant recipients of his attentions, and for one wc
heartily sympathize with those who mourn the de
partoro of one whose life hid fair to be one of contin
ued honor and usefulness.
Tiie Keystone State.—The steamship Keystone
Stole, ('apt. IIaudik. witli Philadelphia dates of the
23d arrived here on Sunday, P. M. Purser Grant,
will please accept our aokuowlegcmcnta lor the
prompt delivery of papers in advance of the mail.
The Ijrtte Storm nt the North.
Tho recent snow-storm at tho North, ol which we
have had only telegraphic accounts, prevailed ns far
west as Cleveland, north to Boston, and nontli to
Richmond. The New York Tribune sny.s of the
storm in that city :
Tho heavy snow-storm or Monday night was one
of tho most severe experienced in this city for a quar
ter of a century. Tin- -now b -gun to fall about two
P. M. oil Monday, and continued without intermission
for loin teen hours. The wind all the time blew a
hurricane from the north-east, drifting the snow into
large piles in all sheltered pluces, in many instances
heaping it six feet deep on one side of the street,
while the other side was perfectly hare. It is scarce
ly possible to average depth, but perhaps twenty
inches would lie near the mark. Fortunately, it was
not very cold, so that there was less sullering among
the poor than might have been expected. There was
a general blockade of all modes of travel. Railroad
trains were immovably stuck ; boats plied slowly,
and at great risk, sailing craft and steamships cast
anchor, and even horses, during the latter part of the
night, were uuablo todrag vehicles through the driits.
TUc Tomli ot \V*»Uli\gtoti.
We make tho following extract from a contribution
of George W. P. Cl'stis, Esq., to the National In-
tclligtnccr, and published by that paper on the Into
anniversary or Washington’s birth. It will bo read
with considerable interest at the present time. Mr.
Cl'stih thinks that Washington expected that his
remains would be claimed as National property, and
entombed with National honors. And it seems that
an agreement was entered into with his widow, by
the authorities of the general government, lor the de
livery of Ills remains to the latter for interment at
Washington.
Mr. Ctrsns Hays :
During the agitation of the public mind that grow
out of the subject of the lost letters more tlmii fifty
years ago, it was contended that the rumors were
groundless ; that there were no such letters. Faith
ful to our purpose at the close of our labors, as at the
commencement of our humble work more than a
quarter of a century ago, to give in the recollections
Private Memoirs of the Life and Character of the
Pater Putrue only of what wo were, only of wliut we
saw, and only or what we derived from the undoubt
ed authority of others, wc do not hesitate to declare,
and from an authority that cannot bo questioned,
that there was such letters as those described as the
Lost iMters of the Rntolin's Rook.
Tho ancient fumily vault having fallen into a state
of decay the Chief surveyed <uid marked out a spot
for a family burial place during the lost days at Mount
Vernon. The new situation is peculiarly unfavora
ble and ill-chosen, being a most uncomfortable loca
tion for either tho living or the dead. The executors
conceiving themselves bound by tho provisions of
the Will to erect a burial vault on the spat marked
out, proceeded to do so to the best udvantngo ; but
all their endeavors, together with tho labors of skilful
mechanics, have resulted in tho tomb of Washington
being universally condemned as unlit for and un
worthy of tho purpose for which it was intended,
while It serves as a matter of reproach to the crowds
of pilgrims who resort thither to pay homage to Hid
fame und memory of the Father of his Country.
It is certain that Washington never gave even u
hint of liis views or wishes in regard to the di iposition
of his remains, lie no doubt believed that ids ashes
would he claimed as national property, and lie en
tombed with national honors; hence his silence on a
aubjootthat has agitated the American public for
more than half a century. On the decease of the
Chief, tho high authorities of tho nation Is'ggcd his
remains for public interment nt tho seat of tho Na
tional Government. They were granted by the ven
erable relict, condition®! that her owu remains should
be interred by tho side of her husband in the national
tomb. This memorable compact, so solemn in itself,
is still in full foice and binding on tho nation, inas
much as uo subsequent authority could altar or auuul

Not a algh waa heard nor n fu norat tono,
Aa the man to hi* bridal «• hurried ;
Kot-a woman dluchanfed her farewell groan
Ou tha ajiot where the follow waa married
We married him Ju*t about right at night,
Our (itera paler turning,
By the rtruggfing moonbeam’* mlatjr fight,
And the gaa-latup'a atrady burning.
No nuclei* watcli-chaln covered hi* ve*t,
Nor over drcaacd wo found him,
Bilt he looked liko a gentleman (tearing bl* bc»t,
With a few of kD frirud* around him.
We thought. a» we silently stood about,
With spite and anger dying.
How the merest stranger had cut usout,
With only half our trylug.
Lightly we'll talk or tho fellow that's gone.
And o(\ for the past upbraid him,
But little lie'll reck If we’ll let him live on
In th* houso wli'-re liis wifo conveyed him.
But our heavy task at length waa done,
When the clock struck tho hour for retiring.
And wo heard tho spiteful aquib and pun
That the girl* were suddenly firing
Slowly and sadly wo turned to go—
We had struggled, and wo wore human ;
We shed not a tear, and we spoko not our woo,
But we lett him alone with hi* woman I
From llie Baltimore American, *d3d.
Od iui Line of Strniiirm.
JVo learn with much pleasure Hint nu increasing
Interest lut- recently Ix’vn manifested by many mer
chant! ami others iu tho projected line of ntcantuiM
to run Iretweca Baltimore and Great Britain, and
that the gentlemen having tho matter in charge nre
about to make renewed cflbrU to put the project in
execution. T'beamouutof money hitherto subscrib
ed D hardly sufficient to justify the commencement of
the undertaking, but with some additional effort the
subscription* will no doubt Ire greatly increased, as
some wealthy individuals have declined to take stock
until further progress bus been made, It will be re
membered that a charter, very liberal in its pro
vision*, mid quite comprehensive in the powers grant
ed to tho Company, was obtained at a previous scs-
wionof the Maryland 1 legislature, so that the Company-
can be organized without delay.
The inducements held out for tho commencement
of this important—indeed, wo may say, absolutely
necessary undertaking—were never greater or more
flattering than at prescut. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is now bringing to Baltimore large (pianti
ties of produce from tho West, destined tor Europe
through other ports; ami there is no doubt that all
of it would be shipped direct from this port if the
opportunities were ullbrdcd for so doing. In regard
to the return cargoes, it will be borne in mind that
by a late order ol the Secretary of the Treasury, for
eign imported goods can be forwarded over the rail
road* leading tvom Baltimore to various inland ports
of entry, und the duties paid on them there. With
vast amounts nf produce passing our own doors to
seek ocean transportation from other cities, why
should the merchants of Baltimore hesitate to avail
themselves of the advantages already in their pos-
This matter l* certainly too important to admit of
delay. No valid excuse can be oflered for further
procrastination. There is ample business doing in
Baltimore to justify the undertaking at once. There
certainly is no want of capital, and wc should lie
sorry to believe there is less enterprise now among
us than wc have liitDL-rlo had credit lor. But besides
these important elements, we have undoubtedly the
vary te st feelings and aspirations ol the people nr
the West and .South with us. We can avail ourselves
of the ample and dearly bought experienc.* of other
cities iu regard to the most suitable kind of vessels
to be used. The matter is no lunger an iiutried ex
periment. For the use of steamers wc have tho best
coal in the world, costing on hoard fully one-third
less than in New York ana Boston, our marine ar
chitects are second to none, ami the l>o.«t materials
for ship building arc supplied from our own forests.—
Even our ship-masters are -ought for to take employ
ment iu other ports. We refer with no .small degree
ot pride to the tact that two of the three captains of
the vessel* who rescued the passengers from the
wreck of the ill-fated Sun Francisco were Maryland
ers. and the captain of the San Francisco is iiiuiseH
a Baltimorean.
With every needful element at hand for the prose
cution of this much desired enterprise, what more is
requisite than a bold and determined effort? Only
let it lx* made, and it must lie crowned with success.
We sincerely hope the gentlemen having tins mat
ter in charge will ut once renew their effort*. Now is
the time for action—let there be no lurthcr delay.
Landlord and Tenant Law.—A somewhat novel
point on the law of landlord and tenant w is decided
a tew days since by Justice McCarty, in the Marine
Court. New York. A lease had been taken bv tin*
tenant h r a series of years, in satisfaction of which
it was agreed he should give his notes at the close of
each quarter, payable iu ninety days thereafter. Such
notes were regularly given, but iu default of the
prompt payment of one or them, the landlord brought
hi* action of ejectment on the pie a of non-compliance
with Hie terms of the lease. This was overruled by
the Court. An agreement to revive the negotiable
notes of defendant at the close of each quarter, iu
hen "f money, stands good to Hie end of thu lease,
notwithstanding such notes may not be paid.
BanqdbT to Gait. Watkins.—'Wc have nlremly
noticed that a dinner was given at tho Revere House,
Boston. to Capt. Watkins, late of the steamer San
Francisco. During the evening he took occasion to
vindicate Hie characters of the captains of the Maria
and Napoleon, from tho aspersions which had been
ea*t upon thorn because they did not lay by the
wrecked steamer. He also stated Hint it was ('apt.
Stoullbr, of the Antarctic, and not (’apt. Creighton,
*»f the Three Bells, that had chalked the memorable
word*—' lie of good cheer ; I will stick by yon,’ upon
ft I'oard. He paid a high tribute to the conduct of
all his rescuers, and the explanation just made he
felt to l>e proper and right.
A man in Cambridge, Mas*., who is nnder bonds
f»r selling liquor on the Rahhath, lias suddenly be
come quite energetic in the cause of .Sunday reform,
and entered complaints against tlm harlierx, omnibus

The U
At it Into hour on Saturday afternoon, Huron Urn-
now had mi interview with tue Karl of Clarendon, at
the Foreign Office, for the plir|m*c of formally mih-
IHinding tho diiiioiiiatic relation of the Kmiieror uf
Russia with hor Majesty's goveiiirnent. Th" llusaiun
Minister will immediately withdraw from this coun
try, with all the members of the Legation, who nre
to repair, we believe, to diflerent towns in Germany ; 1
the Russian Consul Ccm-ml will, however, remain j->r j
the present to traiisaet the comnuTcial husiness of [
his office. The public nro doubtless aware that a
minister from a foreign State, who is reealled under ;
cimimstuiicis like the present, is not entitled to the
audience of the Queen at which envoys commonly (
take leave of her Majesty, nt tho termination of their
mission. Nevertheless, tho recall of an envoy does
not constitute a declaration of war, audit must lie
followed by more decided measures on the one side
or the other, before a state of war can Is* said to ex
ist between the two empires. The tiret measure
taken by the Hrittah government on the eve of a rup
ture with a foreign power has commonly been to stop,
by order in council, vessels clearing out from llritish
ports lor the ports of the hostile power; hut the*
pre.-vntt-tatc ot our relations with Ibi—ia has long l
been so well known to the public that We are informed ,
no vessels arc clearing out of our ports for that conn-;
try, aud the trade is virtually suspended. It would, J
however, he of advantage to the mercantile interests
of the nation, if the ministers of the crown, on an
nouncing to Parliament the suspension of diplomatic
relations with Russia, would iuroini tho country ;
whether measures are likely to be resorted to of a 1
nature to uffect the liberty of trade. We presume the I
government will lose no time iu recalling Sir ILimil- j
ton Seymour and the British mission from Si. Peters
burgh, if, indeed, they have not already received tlnur
passports; but the measures adopted on this subject;
will of course be taken, as every preceding step bus j
been, in concert with the French government.
TUc Destiny of China.
Dr. Rowring, the eminent eastern traveller, in a I
lecture lately delivered iu London ou the eve of liis
departure for tho East, took occasion to say. that in
his opinion, the Empire of China was destined to
fulfil u great mission, l»v the emigration that was now
going on from thence through all the eastern nations.
Such was the imputation af China, that there was uM
a foot of it scarcely hut was cultivated. Such wli
the over-population, iu fact, that notwithstanding the
most violent interdicts against emigration, its sur
plus streams were* overflowing the countries of the
East. In the Island of Java lie lomul 25,000: iu the
Islands of the Indian Archipelago, there were not
less than "(1,000 Chinese; whilst in Sail Francisco
there had been settled 25,000 more ; and groat num
ber.* were emigrating to Australia, and the Islands
of Polynesia, or wherever there was a field of labor
open to them, it appeared to a law of Providence
that the superior races of mankind should supplant
the inferior, and ho saw iu tho tirogress of time the
UtUaliltantH of the West India Isluuds swept away—
that tin* Anglo-Saxon population was invading and
removing (lie would not say destroying) tho red In
dian trilies of America. So flic Chinese race was
setting aside the Malay in tin* same way that they
(tlie Malays) had set aside the Dyuks.
Hog packing in the Western States ha* fallen ofl
