FIVE DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND
Savannah, February I.
By the ship Atlintic, fiom Liverpool, re
ported below in out last, we last evening re
ceivcd h Liverpool paper of Monday, 5 I
December, and another ol the 2d, lln
commercial intelligence allows a decline n
1-8 on Cottons general y.
We perceive no additional informnlior
respecting the Choleia, excepting thc f< I•
lowing ;
The Sunderland Herald of Saturday, 3 1,
says—The returns of tlie week show, that
" the disease is neither gaining nor losing
ground; and we may reasonably anticipate,
that it will soon disappear, as (hero are few
instances known of ns remaining in are then
r month or six weeks in towns the population
of which is not large.” F.um tlie com-:
rnencemeut ol the disea-e, on the 261 h ol
October, to the Ist of Dec. 327 cases of com
inon ami malignant cholera had occurred,)
nut of winch the deaths atnoanted to 103.
On Thursday 38 cases remained. A. man,|
named Jordan, wan said to have died utj
Newcastle, of spasmodic cholera; but thej
medical men have declared, that it was lire
common disease of which he died. {
The only intelligence we perceive from
the continent, later than received at New- (
Yoik direct, is the follow! ig from the Lon-l|
don Herald of the 3d Dec. which we believe'
is one day later.
We received last-night the Pans papers
>f Wednesday and Thursday. No news of:,
importance yet from Lyons. Thu last ac-i|
counts received by the government were!
fiom Marshal Soult, at Trevoux, and wereL
dated "I o’clmk, of the 20ih.’,’ They state 1 ,
merely, that tranquility continued to pre- (
vail at Lyons. Tho Marshal and Duke ol
Orleans, at that time, had not reached the
place, nor had (he King’s troops effected a
le-entry. General Uoguet continued to in
crease his military masses, and new mis
givings as to his real intentions, founded
upon these measures, had b gun again to
disturb the workmen and the citizens. The
wo; kmen seem to be now striving, by every
means in their power, to disarm dial venge
ance which they are aware (heir proceedings
have provoked. Upon the delicate and dif
ficult question of an increase of wages to the
workmen, no decision has been yet come to;
but, it w mid appear, from (lie motion of die
Minister ol Finance, in the Chamber, on
Wednesday, that government fed the ne
cavity of immediately placing a fund at the
disposd of the local authorities of .Lyons lor
the ivliet'ol the workmen. This, in itself,
is a material and seasonable concession to
the necessary claims ol these poor pen-

is not improbable from the nature of things ’

Much discontent and disaffection still

LATE FROM ENGLAND.
Capt. Johnson, of the ship Plutarch, from
London, ai Quarantine, politely sent up to
ui last evening London Paper's to the 23d
December, inclusive.
They contain many details of intelligence
not fuuiishbd by our French papers,
Wr find little in them on the subject ol
the itimkcls. A London Commercial Re
port of the Urdu December, states that the
Cotton market was steady—gules of the week
about 1100 bales, prices the same.
Commercial intelligence from Liverpool of
December 19: “ The demand for British

Business at Birmingham. —The trades of
this town aie generally io a more alarming
mil depressed state than has been known for
many years. In one of our most staple
trades, the manufacturing of buttons, there
is little doing; while our numerous brass
founders complain loudly of the general, and,
indeed, ruinous stagnation of business. Fai
lures are almost daily occurring, and unless
some efficient measure of ielief speedily
takes place serious results may be anticipat
ed before Christmas.
The general impression ia Birmingham,
as in London is, that an alarming crisis in
the commercial world is fast approaching.
Birmingham Journal,
From the commencement of the Cholera
at Newcastle, on the Tth December, to the
I9lh of the same month, there were 112
cases, of which 41 had died.
Several ceaeji appear also to have occurred
at Seghill, Colliery, HoughtouTe-Spring,
and Seaham.
A large portion of the London Times, of
the 21st Dec. is occupied with a process or
law case, recently tried at Paris, the object
of which was to set aside or nullify the will
of the Duke of Bourbon, in favor of a young
Prince «t the House of Orleans, the youngost
son of the Duke of that name, now Louis

Dr. Daun and Col. Creagh wore ill at
Sunderland, but whether of the Cholera or
some other disease is not stated.
The Duke of Wellington was sick—he
was attended by Sir Halford and Dr.
Hume.
Sir Waiter Scott had arrived at Malta,
from England* having improved in health
on the voyage.
The health of the King of Spain is said to

The private letters from Holland state
that the fortifying of Amsterdam & Rotter

, We invite attention to the following inter
; csling article from the Milledgevitle Fe
deral Union,
] THE RANGE
i Providence has directed all things aright,
. In its wise and merciful adjustment, Geor
t gia has shared a most liberal part. Then
are om mountains with their pure streams
- —-their tumbling cataracts—their cragget
u rocks lowering towards the sky—and theii
ii snow clad lops-*-with their race of hardj
J yeomanry, surnunded by all the poetic im
d agery of highland scenery. Below these
,r is an extent ol fertile territory, gently un
it delating, crowding with a dense, enterpris
l- ing and intelligent population, inhabiting ;
o soil and climate healthy and delightlul
e|yielding abundantly the finest fruits, anc
i- most ol the staple commodities of the south

d |combining many agricultural and inercan
l.jtile advantages. Below all these, is are

suits of agriculture, though uniting many o
c its advantages, especially fur rice, sugar fi

ei country immediate!y bordering the sea coast

jtry, the pine barrens ) is emphatically sty let
u.the Range, Though seemingly, ami ii
o some (espects, really barren, perhaps then
‘ is no portion of the State more useful than
is this—Stretching from the Savannah river to
3 the Chaltahoocliic, in a belt varying in
i. brcnliti at dittcient points.
[ In that portion of the State including
>' within this belt, between the Savannah anil
■ Alatamaha and Ocmnlgee, and the Chatta-
K hoochie, there is still a noble vestme of nu
lurcl grass, supporting and yeaiiy rearing,
11 without any domestic aid, thousands of fine
11 cattle, besides the various species of game
'* with which it abounds. Lightly as the
pine woods counties & the pine woods boys
' sometimes spoken 01, they live very hide
e pendently, and enjoy many advantages nut
to be found elsewhere. VVe have no doubt
the time will come, when this range conn
try will he of immense value to the Stale
Along the numerous streams, many of them
navigable, that intersect this region, is a ve
i iy great variety of a heavy, valuable growth
a ol Cv press, white oak, and no inconsidera
1 ble quantity of live oak of noble and vigor
ous growth.
5 But our subject is simply to invite pub
lic attention to the ramie, properly so call -
1 ed. We have said, that a part' of this
range had already been much impaired.!
' There is a very erroneous opinion prevail |
mg, even among those who live in that re j
gum, respecting the cause of t)iits injury.
We hear the people frequently say—The}
'range, in such a place is eaten out.” This
may be (rue of the cane range —but when i
said ol the grass range, it is a great error, j
With the necessary precaution, this range
of country would support many thousands
of cattle for centuries to come.—-The truth
I is, these fine and extensive pastures uie
I burnt out, not eaten out. Winter burns aie
injurious—but (he great and lasting injury
is produced hy Summer burns.
No one who has not visited that quarter
of the State can form an adequate concep
tion of the Immense numbers of cattle, deer,
wild hogs, and other animals that annually
subsist upon this range. Many, who com
menced as stoc/c minders for others, have
accumulated handsome estates for attending
to stock, for which they received every
sixth or seventh calf. We have seen men,
who commenced in this way, that are now
the proprietors of from 500 to 1000 head
,of cattle. Many stock holders, who do not
live io that region, own from 500 to 2000
> head of cattle. There is a class of men,
who attend on these stocks, and follow
them during the Spring and Summer—who
are non-residents in that country, and ci
ther feel no permanent interest in the pre- !
servalion of the valuable range, nr do not
aeem to regard it as important, VVe under
stand that these wandering drovers bum 1
the woods, during the summer, as they go, '
in order to have tender food constantly Tor '
the stocks. These Summer burns, when
the sap is up, are immensely destructive to 1
the grass and other herbage for subsistence, 1
’ always impoverishing the roots, and in a 1
' great measure totally destroying them. !
• This ia the chief cause of the rapid failure
.of many us the finest ranges. When the
range is unce burnt in (he Summer, it re
| quires many years to restore il--aud the te
. petition of fires every year keeps up the de- I
! atroying system. When the range is thus
! destroyed by Jire, it is said to be eaten out .
Burns at any time ore injurious. Those
I who have been accustomed to (he woods in
those regions, know that, roughs, ('hat is,
places that have for one or two years es
; caped the fire) have much (he finest gi ass—
' and that towards the fall of the year, the
cattle and deer are to be found principally
! upon these roughs (that is, places that havt
■ lor one or two years escaped the fire) have
much the finest grass—and that to wauls
• the fall of the year, the cattle and deer are
5 to be found principally upon those roughs,
because the burns have been eaten oul.j
J i'his is one great reason why so many cm j
tie perish towards the close of winter.
e Burning is altogether a miserable sy stem.
Why are the ranges best when first settled
s by the whites f Because the grass has been
1 accumulating for ages.— But we 'soon burn
them out, and they then grow up in oak &
hickory giubs, as they me called. VVher-j
'* ever pastures aie enclosed ami the fire kept
:- otf. the growth is luxuriant—the height ol)
the grass keeps oil' the I lost from near hall
it* length, and then the cattle have good
winter pasture, VVe have seen a pasture
I* preserved in this way in Richmond county,
'■ in an old settlement, in which the grass
'* grew as tali as a man’s head, and a pasture
19 ot abiou 10U acres kept a small stock of
.d cattie m thuviug order the whole winter.—
,r In a visit to this range country a few win
y ters ago, we heard the steady settlers mak*
*' mg great complaints of the injury done
e * them by (he drovers, who set out the tire
*' during the summer.
a We think this subject worthy of legisla-
I live attention—and we have wondered that
J some gentleman from that region had not
brought it before theJLegislatuie. A suffi
ciency ot stock of all descriptions might be
j raised in that country to prevent their in
truduclion lioni other Slates. Some old
acts now exist on the subject us firing the
r . woods at improper seasons—but the range
requires some more specific and energetic
lor its preservation. If this is
0 f not done, the ranges will bo soon destroy
, ed, anti a source ot wealth wilh them—-tlxc
Cj range, as in Emanuel and Montgomery, will
jj soon be eaten out by Jire.

It is with no ordinary share of gratifica
tion, that we learn that Georgs Tucker,
Esq. formerly a member in Congress from.
tlii» District,, and at present one of the Pro
fessors oil the University of Virginia, is en
gaged iu collecting materials from which to
complete “ The Life” of the immortal pa
tiiot and sage whose ever to be.honored 8r
revered name graces the head of this arti
cle. We have often regretted the want of
such a work. We are aware that the most
prominent events of bis life, and the moat
remarkable of his transcendent services,
during the unexampled period of Cl years
of public life, may be gleaned from his own
“ correspondence,” one of the valuable le
gacies left by him to his country; but strong
ly as we desire to see the work in the hands
ot every head of a family in America, yet
we are well assured, that a large majority
of readers would greatly prefer a single vo
lume, of five or six hundred pages, which
would present an unbroken history of the
life of that eminent man. i We are pleas
ed to see the tusk devolved upon (he dis
tinguished gentleman above alluded to—the
whole tenor of those political life, indicated
and steady devotion to republican
principles ; and who will, we have no doubt t

memory from the aspersions of aristocrat*
and monarchists, and in presenting in bold

It is probable that there are as many

to the printer, to be composed, a long arti

treme length, it was divided into six parts,
1 and given to as many compositors to “ set

'| who had been for many weeks past adopting
every precaution to prevent an attack of this
' complaint seizing him, came into the office
' to chat away half an hour with the “Read

J before the “reading boy” entered in great
: haste and enquired “Who’s got the cholera.
