The Resources of Georgia.
This is a moit'prolific theme, and one lo which
the attention of our citizens ought to be more
generally directed. In noticing this subject, we
are rather actuated by a hope that we may in
duce others of greater experience, to direct their
gttention to it, than by the expectation of what
we can accomplish. Tltere is, perhaps, no part
0 f the civilized globe, whose resources are more
completely undeveloped, than the State ofGeor
j,atand indeed the entire South. Her people,
heretofore have been so well satisfied with the
j ar ge profits which the growing of cotton pro.
duccd, that they have, thus far, almost entirely
neglected every other profitable employment-
The insatiate desire to make more cotton still
rage* i ant l under the very defective agricultural
ijitem heretofore pursued, much of the best cul
tivable lands in the State have been exhausted
for the want of a rotation of crops and proper
management; and consequently rendered i ncapa
iiie of producing such a return for the labor ex
panded on them, as would render a fair interest
on the large capital employed.
We believe, therefore, that in many parts of
our State the time has come, when a more ox.
tensive attention to its mineral wealth would
he beneficial, both to those who were thus em
ploye.!, and the others who continue to attend to
agriculture. Nor could the objection arise
which partially presents itself with regard to the
manufacture of cotton and wool, for we have al
ready the two principal and most costly items in
mining investments—the land which contains
it and the laborers to work it. All, therefore,
that would be needed, would be the small a
mount of capital, necessary to erect suitable
buildings and purchase machinery. This a
mount is so trifling, when compared to the pro
fits realized, that it could be very easily obtained
—and if a single individual did not possess it, a
company could be formed with sufficient means
to insure success. The profit from such invest,
ments would be large and certain. It is a known
fuetthat a large portion of the mountain region
of Georgia, teems with mineral wealth, easily
to be obtained, and certain to return a large pro
fit to those who shall undertake its preparation
formarket. Would it not, therefore, be better
for those planters, whose lands are now yielding
but small crops, owing to their exhausted state,
t) direct thcii attention to these sources of
wealth, and thus relieve those who continue to
make cotton, from the evil of over-production?
Besides, the entering upon such pursuits, would
render the growing of grain more profitable ; for
thosa who were engaged in the uiines would re
quire sucli for consumption, and although more
would not probably be used than at present, yet
there would be fewer producers. This would
consequently he beneficial to the farmer ; and
thus, whilst those who were engaged in the
mines would be profitably employed, the benefi
cial effects resulting from a diversity of pursuits
would be favorably felt by all classes of the com
munity; and our people less exposed to ruin
from a too great a dependence upon the fluctua
ting price of one single commodity, for their
pecuniary prosperity, as they now are upon that
of cation.
It affords us pleasure to see that our capitalists
arc turning their attention to the establishment
of Cotton Factories in different portions of the
State,an investment that has always, without a
single exception, we believe, been profitable,
paying an interest of front 20 to 50 percent.—
Indeed wo cannot sec how it can he otherwise,
as long as they are properly managed, and have
as now, a difference of nearly or quite two cents
per pound in the expense of transportation, &c.,
in their favor, in the cost of the raw material,
which will always enable them to compete suc
cessfully with the Northern manufacturers.
We have, long since thought that the want of
a diversity of pursuits was hanging upon the
South like an incubus, and have often scon no
u it-spirits fa ii for want of a iittie iieip, to carry
out enterprises that would have been of lasting
benefit to the community, merely because they
had some new feature about them. But wo re
joice to see that anew era as it were, is about to
burst upon us, when besido tho“ gee and haw"
of the farmer, may be heard the sound of the
mechanic’s hammer, the hum of the spindle and
the clatter of the loom—aye, and tho cheerful
songs of a prosperous people. Every Cotton
Factory erected in our midst vve believe to he a
tower of strength to our institutions ; which by
the way, need all the help they can get at present
—and we look upon those who engage in such
smterpriscs ns having done the State some ser
vtce. It docs not ‘require optics sharp we ween’
to perceive the beneficial results which are al
roady shewing themselves in our own State,
from tho partial attention already bestowed in
developing Iter resources, and diversifying the
pursuits of her citizens. May she adopt the
motto of “ Excelsior," until she become the Em
pire as well as the “Model State of the South.”
Plowing by Steam. —The Bangshirc (Eng )
Journal states that a patent for a steam plow
Pas been taken out by the inventor, Mr. James -
Usher, of the firm of Ushcr&Co., of Edinburgh
and the machine will shortly he before the pub.

furrows at once, thus doing the work and sav
the expense of stx double horse plows.-
i great weight of the machine, which is es
hrnated at three tons, may bo thought an objee
bun ; but this is in a great degree obviated by
Ihs uso of a large roller, which is so placed in
the centre ns to balance the machine, and pre
vent tho wheels sinking. The cost of the en
tire apparatus is estimated at £3OOO.

Savanhand Augusta Kailroa«l.
Os all projected or completed Railroads in
Georgia, none, in our opinion, is more important
than the one proposed to connect Augusta with
Savannah. The only means of communication
between these places, is the Savannah river,
which is often so low as to preclude navigation,
and it is ofthe utmost importance to the citizens
of Georgia that their facilities of business and
social intercourse should be augmented to the
farthest possible extent.
The people of Georgia have lutely turned
their attention and devoted their means lo the
establishment of mannfactories and their success
has been commensurate with the efforts which
they have made. A spirit of enterprise has
been awakened among them, the influence of
which is felt in the marked improvement of all
classes of society, and the results of which may
be found in the increased wealth ofthe planters
and of those engaged in the business ofmanufac
luring the staple products ofthe soil. The in
habitants ofthe State of Georgia are distinguish
ed for their hospitality and for the nobility of
their natures, and when once roused ton sense
of their inferiority as respects great works of
interna l improvement, they put forth all their
energies to raise themselves to a level with the
most favored of the sister States. They need
but to be convinced of the feasibility and impor
tance of any work which will add to the wealth
anil welfare of the community, to cause them to
contribute of their substance, sufficient for its
accomplishment.
The interests ofthe public demand that a
good Road should be built to connect these two
important cities of Georgia. Such a road will
probably cost $600,000, and should be the best
road yet built in the Southern States. It should
be a perfect Road, in order to sustain the com
petition which it will have to undergo, and the
Directors should avail themselves of all the im
provements which experience in Road-building
lias efforded, for thus they may be enabled to
construct the best, and at the same time, one of
the cheapest roads in the country.
The estimated cost ofthe Road, $12,000 per
mile, is much less than that of most ofthe prin
cipal roads in the United States, and the
through which it will pass is amply
struct it, even should its cost exceed the esti
mate made by the Engineer. The citizens of
Savannah, should subscribe $400,000 and the
remainder of the subscriptions required to ena
ble the Directors to enter upon the work, may
he readily obtained in Augusta and in the coun
try to be benefitted by the construction of the
Road through it. The Georgia and Central
roads may be called upon to contribute to the
stock, and when it becomes evident that there
isa determination on the part of the Directors
to build the road, the deficit in the subscription
will be made up and the work may be comtnen
ced with ample means for its completion.
This Road will he of immense benefit tothe
Stato and its seaport town, and still more so to
the city of Augusta. Nearly all the proposed
roads in Middle and North-eastern Georgia, point
to Augusta as one of their termini. As she be
comes the nucleus of commercial industry and
enterprise, so will she increase in population,
wealth and importance. Her progress is in
evitably upward and onward, and the conscious
ness of her high destiny should induce her to
provide, by giving her aid, for the speedy and
certain transposition of her products to the
ocean. Some other means should be afforded
than the uncertain river, and the foreign road
which bears away the riches of Georgia and
pours them into the lap ofthe commercial em
porium of South Carolina. Let the citizens of
Augusta have an eye to theirovvn interests and
contribute liberally towards the construction of
the Savannah and Augusta Railroad.— Horn’s

Board of Mexican Commissioners.— The
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American, writing on the 19th inst.,
says :
The Board of Mexican commissioners will ad
journ in about a fornight until next fall. They
have received claims to the amount of nearly sl2-
000,000, and have disposed of a greator number
of cases in the same period of time than any
former commission. Without pretending to
speak from any particular knowledge on the
subject, I should not be surprised to know that
the appropriation under the treaty covered the
great bulkot the claims winch will be allowed.
This opinion is ventured upon the extavagant
and extraordinary character of many of the larg
est claims, the representatives of some of which
seem to think that the proportion of allowance
will be regulated by the extent of the demand.
The present Comissioners hahe adopted a wise

ion to be filed in every case, so that claimants

Polar Origin of the Tides.— The Scien
tific American says : “The source of the tides
is to be sought in the great reservoir of ocean
round the Southern Pole. This polar reservoir
is agitated on opposite sides by the moon in its
alternate lower and uppertransits, and by the
sun in less degree. Here the great central agi
tation seems to commence, and hence on all sides
it seems to flow northward. From the South
Pole this great agitation flows into the Indian
Ocean; and proceeding northward, the great
tide-wave strikes with violence on the shores of
Hindostan, and finaly in the mouth of the Gan
ges, where it expends its force on the shores
in the form of the well-known and terrific bore
ot the Hoogly. The Atlantic, in like manner,
receives from the southern reservoir its great
wave of tide, which passes northward with im
petuosity, and expends its force on the shores of
Britain and North America; where again it be
comos the enormous steam-tide of the Bristol
Channel, and the destroying surge of the Bay
of Funday, so wall known to all the mariners
From the South, in like manner, the Pacific
should receive its great tide, were it not beriea
ded out by innumerable submarine steppes, and
its thousands coral reefs, and its myriads of hap
py islands, to whose calm seas no propagation
of this great borizontal.actiting wave can gain
access. It is by depth and uninterrupted bot
tom only that a great wave like the tide can
force enterence; it is only the small waves
raised by a local tempest, that travel the surface.
An action like the tide, extending uniformly
to all depths ofthe ocean,cannot be propagated
on a superficial coaling alone. The tides are built
out of the Pacific by submarine works, and en
ter it alone aud with difficulty by the eastern
side of America, where diffused and rapidly di
minishing, the tide extends a certain way
through the more open parts of the sea, contin
ually diminishing in intensity. In the North
Pacific wo have neither the bores of the Hoog
ly nor the terrific tides of a Bay of Funday.

The Cherokee Nation — The National
Council of the Cherokecs has been occupied for
several weeks in devising some plan of paying
their narional debt, amounting to SIOO,OOO.
The history of this people is interesting. Their
nation is divided into eight districts, each furn
ishing three Representaitves and two Senators
to the National Councils. For several years the
nation hassustained twenty-two district schools,
and proposes soon to establish an Orphan asj 1
um and two iarge National schools. About
$22,000 are expended by Government annually
for the support of common schools, in which the
Christian religion, (farming, some of the useful
trades and ordinary literature are taught. Most
ofthe Cherokees have more or less education,
and are extremely ambitious to rival their white
neighbors in every art.—Tablequath, the Cher
okee capital, is a pretty village, containing som e
good brick dwelling and a court house. John
Ross lias been the Cherokee chief since 1823.
He is wealthy, and lives in goad style. His
annual salary as President is only SSOO. Mem
bers of Council are elected for two years, and
receive $3 a day during session. Tho Chero
kees are advancing rapidly, and may at no very
distant day desire admittance into the Union.
Improved Cotton Gin.— John Dußois, of
Greensboro’, Ala., has procured a patent for an
improvement of tlie Cotton Gin. It consists in
an arrangement of the ribs, by which most of tlie
motes and trash are removed by simple action of
the Saw, and lodged in a box above the brush;
the remaining motes and trash being removed as
in tho ordinary Gin.—thus making a very super
ior sample of cotton. It is as easily kept in Or
der as any other Gin and works as fast. Testi
monals to its worth are given hy many respect
able planters who have used it—among them,
T. M. Johnston, of Greonsboro’, and R. A-
Baker of Summerfield. The latter says, “the
difference in the quality of Cotton will soon pay
for a gin."
Improvement. — In consequence ofthe decline
ofthe English wollen trade for the last few years,
attributed to the superior color and finish ofthe
fabrics, of Belgium and France, a superiority
that has been sensibly appreciated by the im
porters in this country; various efforts have
been made in England to bring its cloths up to
the continental standards. A process has there
fore been invented called the Sterioloic. The
wool is better picked nnd washed. Indigo is
used for the foundation of the dye, instead of
logwood and the finish is effected by a machine
of superior character to tho Belgian. Tho cloth
thus produced, is said never lo lose its glossi
ness, the “feel" is soft, Mnd if wet, I'oses nothing
of its lustre. .
Mexican Octrage— The New Orleans True
Delta, of the 19th inst. says : “By the arrival of
the steamship Yatch, from the Brazos, we are
credibly informed of an outrage, perpetrated
recently at Matamoros, by the Mexican nuthori.
ties, on the persons anJ property of American
citizens, which calls for the prompt interference
of our government. By the treaty of peace be
tween Mexico and this country, after the close
of the Moxicon war, our readers are aware that
all goods imported into the country during the
war, on which duties were paid to the American
government were permitted to be sent to any
part ofthe interior. Largo shipments of tobac- I
co had been made during the war, to the ports ;
of Matmoros, Tampico and Vera Cruz. A por
tion of the tobarco, lying in store at Matamoros
at the close of the war, was purchased by the
extensive mercantile firm of S A. Bidden & Cos.
of the latter city. Some time ago those mer
chants sent a portion of their stock to the great
fair of San Juan• All the formalities requisite
to secure its transportation uninterrupted through 1
the interior of the country, had been attended j
to, every package having on it the government
stamp. While the train was passing through j
Saltillo, the Judge ot that district, a lellow nam
ed Gomez, who is to be one of the most
notorious gamblers and swindlers in Mexico,
seized on the tobocco, and by his own judg
ment confiscated tho lot! Knowing his decis.
ion would be reversed, if the subject were
brought before the higher tribunals he denied
the American merchants the right of an appeal.
This was not all; for in addition tothe illegal
confiscation of the tobacco, he fined tho Ameri
can merchants some $27,000, and sent a special
agent to Matamoros to collect il,witli i list ructions
that if the fine was not promptly paid, to im
prison the parties. Beldcn & Cos. of course pro
tested, in due form, against such high handed
outrages. It was no use. Their establishment
was closed up, and an order for their arrest and
imprisonment forthwith issued ; and to save
themselves from a dungeon, Messrs. Bcidcn &
Cos. were compelled to abandon their property
and business, by crossing the river to Browns,
ville. We learn that the determination of Mr.
Beltlen was to go to prison, relying on his gov
ernment for reparation and redress, and it was
only through the earnest solicitude of his friends
and the principal authorities of Matamoros, that
he left the city, for had he been imprisoned, a
scene of bloodshed would have been the result,
such as the frontier had never witnessed. Th e
inhabitants of Brownsville, on hearing of the
order for Belden's arrest, were organising to
cross the river, to wreak their vengence on all
concerned in the outrage. The act ofthe tyrant
Gomez, of Saltillo, and his agent, is openly den
ounced by the Mexican authorities at Matamoros,
and they’ feel confident that, as soon as proper
representations of the affair are made to the
Mexican government, the acts of Gomez will be
disowned, and ample indemnification made to
the injured parties.
We understand that no time will be lost in
laying the whole matter becoro our Secretary of
State and our minister at the city of Mexico.—
From ai vv . ive !u .rd of this affair, it is one of
the itragi-s vve have ever known per.
petr. on Aaiencan citizens by th« legalized

Removal of Free Negroes from Virginia.
—The hi:: which previously passed the Virgin
ia House, appropriating $30,000 per annum to
the colonization of free negroes of that State in
Africa, is now a law, having passed the Senate,
with an amendment which imposes an annual
tax of $1 upon every male free negro in the
State from 21 lo 80 years of age. Tho fund ari
sing from this source to be appropriated in like
manner with the $30,000, unless the Legislature
otherwise prescribe.
Coffee.— The Pittsburg Post states that at
that place the sales of coffee have fallen off 50 pr
cent, since the price ofthat article has advanced
to the present exhorbitant rates. At Cincinnati
a similar result has taken place, and at New Or
leans, a writer in the Bulletin thinks that the
sales are diminishing more than one-third or
even ono-half. He gives the average stocks on
the Ist of February for five years in that city, at
20,000 sacks, now they are estimated at 75,000
to 80,000. With reference todeficient cropsand
decreased consumption, a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, has a word to say. Admit
ting that the yield of 1849, in Java and Rio is
less by 800,000 bags than was that of 1848, he
reasons that 200,000 bags of this deficiency will
probably be made up from portions of the old
crop held over in the shellin consequence ofthe
low prices of 1848, and that tho diminished con
sumption in Europe and America, in conse
quence of the high prices of 1849-50, will he e
qual to 400,000 bags, which two items will re
duce *!■«.-Tieficicncy of last year's crop, in effect,
to 200,000 bags. The Gazette adds:
“In tlie country, vve understand,the usual sub
stitutes for coffee, when prices are high, have
been extensively resorted to; viz. rye, barley,
potatoes, and sassafras. In this city, at must of
the retail groceries in the outer part of town,
burnt rye and corn are uow regular articles
sale ; and a mixture of about equal parts ofeof
fue, corn, and rye, carefully burnt, is exposed at
some of tho large groceries in the central parts
ofthe city, and sell at something less than one i
half the price of coffee alone. This last pre- j
p.iration, wo aro told is not at all unpalatable.
The Philadelpha Board of Trade, at a stated i
meeting held on Monday evening, adapted a me

the present rate of letter postage to two cents

tions among the citizens, be to sont lo their rep
resentatives in the State Legislature. The
Board expressed the opinion that the proposed
reduction is for the interest of all, rich and poor
old and young, in every section of our country,
in a commercial, social, moral, literary and po
litical point of view
Eruption of Mount Vesuvius- —Accounts
from Naples of the 12lh ult. give deeply interest
ing accounts of a fearfully grand and unfortu
nately fatal eruption of Vesuvius. For a week,
says a writer, we have now enjoyed the most
splendid eruption which has taken place for
many years. The ashes have been carried as
far, we linow, as twenty miles, and no doubt,
much farther. The lava descends in two steams,
upon Ottajana, where it has destroyed a palace
and much land belonging to a nobleman of that
name, and another toword Torridcli Annunzia
ta, while the flames and the immense masses of
rock which are ejected, form at night a terrific
spectacle. The roaring of the mountain was
such as to disturb the whole country for miles
round, and in Naples, the windows shook with
every repetition of it, which was unceasing
night and day. Immense crowds, of course,
walked over to the side of the bay to get a near,
er view; religions processions are moving about,
for the intercession of the Madonna and the
saints; and it is said that the Pope is to perform
some ceremonial to cause the mountain to stay
its ruinous proceedings. lam sorry to add that
the accidents to those who went over have been
very sad. A young Pole was stuck in the leg
by a burning stone, which cut through tho limb,
and he died on the mountain from loss of blood.
A young American officer was struck in the
arm, which hung suspended by a bit of flesh
On his arrival in Naples he had lust so much
blood, that an amputation could not take place,
and as no reaction had up to this time taken
place, it is not expected that he can live. A
gendarme is also reported killed, and two men
who had fallen a sacrifice to the eruption, were
said to have been buried yesterday at Portici
Some anxiety has been felt for an Englishman
and his wife who had not returned from a visit
tothe mountain; and yet crowds roll on nigiit
and .day to see this wonderful phenomenon.
From the neighborhood of the mountains, all
the inhabitants have fled, and the powder from
the magazine at Tom, has been removed.
Line of Steam ers to Ciiagres. —The Wash
ington Rcpuhlrc says: “The United Stales Gov
ernment mail line from New York lo Ciiagres is
receiving favorable notice from the New York
press. On Friday evening last, the steamer
Georgia, of that line, arrived at New \ r ork, af
ter one of the most astonishing runs ever per
formed on ocean or river. This was the first
through trip of these inammouth steamers, and
tho result lias proved all that could be desired,
establishing the fact that the distance can be
performed in seven days, even with adverse
winds; and, with fair weather, it is conjectured
that either the Georgia or Ohio can make the
passage in six days’ running time. At the com
mencement of this mail service by this line,
there were delays inciJent upon so great an un
dertaking; but as the ships have been completed
and placed in service, they have not only fully
realized the high anticipation formed but have
actually challenged the admiration of all behol
ders. When it was announced on Friday eve"
ning that sh ' had arrived, there was uncommon
excitement in the city ; for it was hard to credit
that the distance could have been performed in
that short space of lime.
“The experiment (if it can be called such)
made by the Government in assisting the great
mail project, lias resulted in the production of a
couple of steamers which can safely challenge
the world. It is no longer a question, whether
our ship-yard and machine-shop can produce
the equal of the British mechanics, tho fact is
substantiated that they cannot only equal, but
excel. The construction of those ships has con
ferred honor upon tho country, and every
American heart may well beat quickly when the
eye rests upon those splendid specimens of
American skill. The constructor, George Law,
is certainly entitled to the highest ciedit for
what he has accomplished, and within n time
which has distanced Government remoetilion
with all its resources in money, dock-yards ma
chine-shops, and engineers."
Botany Bay Emigrants to California.—
Among tho recent arrivals at San Francisco,
were a number from Botany Bay, one ship alone
bringing 60 convicts from Hobart Town. Oc
casionally the valuable new citizens distinguish
themselves by characteristic acts of daring and
heroism, and are rewarded by tho authorities of
San Francisco with a ball and chain, arid the
privilege of working on the streets.

pondents in Constantinople in Turkey,and Can

knowing that the highly medicated and balsamio
properties of our Soap are pured and unadul
terated.
