•;f,ee itself and the country adjarent to it in
-rent .-ibiind ini-c. a,id will no doubt bo sold in
( i.linnbus for a fourth or fifth less than the ar
ticle of similar quality can bo offered in Mil-
ledgevillc and Macon. The people of Co
lumbus say they ran carry sugar from their
town in wagon* to cither of those places and
make a profit on the article.
The country on which Columbus relies for
support is extensive and fertile, composing the
counties of Muscogee, Marion. Lee, Hnrris,
Talbot, Upson, Pike, Meriwether, Troup,
Coweta, Carroll, Fayette, DeKalh, Gwinnett,
Hall & Habersham. When the Indians are re
moved, the trade of a largo portion of tho Che
rokee country will certainly go to that town
anil also the most valuablo portion of the
Creek territory, composing tho fertile land
about Tuckabatchee, and the desirable coun
try between the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers,
lint one thing can happen to injure the fair
prospects of Columbus, and this is, rearing up
of a town, at some future day, on the opposite
side of the river. Of this there could he but
little danger if a free bridge were established
to cross the Chattahoochee at the Rapids,
where.naturo seems to have designed that one
should be built—tho cost would not bo consi
derable, ar.d tho Legislature of our State will
act wisely in turning its attention, at an early
period, to this object. Tho city of Augusta
pays into ihe public Treasury annually, about
$21,000, ovnry cent of which would he lost to
the State, if that emporium of commerce were
located on the opposite side of Savannah river.
Columbus will in a few years add, by its quota
of taxes, greatly to the public Treasury of our
•State, it a rival city does not spring up in its
neighbourhood on the Alabama side of tho ri
ver. Having the start, Columbus, favourably
situated as it is, can scarcely fail to outstrip
•any rival, if the safe and free passage of the
river he secured.
The facility and expediiion with which the
Chattahoochee is descended to the Gulf of
Mexico is almost incredible. Two persons in
a canoe landed nt the place of deposit on the
bav of Appalachicnla in 43 hours after leaving
Columbus, stopping several times to hunt on
their run down the river. It is navigated at
present above the Rapids from Hall county to
Miller’s Rend, thirty miles from town. At do
great cxpmisc, the navigation for polo boats
•can be brought, wo arc assured, witliih four
miles of Columbus. The carriage of produce
and goods over this short distance must he ef
fected for a time in wagons on a common
rou<di road; but tho time cannot he distant
when a Canal or Hail Hoad over that space
will connect more effectually the communica
tion between the upper and lowor sections of
‘his majestic river.—South. lire.
The F.ditor of tho Richmond Enquirer ob
serves that he is Indebted to one of our most
intelligent Merchants for the following memo
randum. If these are some of the first practi
cal effects of the new Tariff", what aro we to
expect when it goes into full operation.
“ We have seen one of nnr importers, who
states to us that ho tins lately received an in
voice of 2 hales of, ivliat is called, fearnoughls
from which arc made great coats for laboring
people, sailors and others, on which the duty
under the present law is $ 442, under the Into
law. or 3.3 per cent, was SI90—difference
.$262, which is near 143 per cent, increase on
the late duty. On an invoice of flannels from
the same source, we learn, that the duty at pre
sent paid is 763. on the same amount as last
year 401—making on this article nn increase
of 90 per cent, on the duties. On the nrticlc
of carpeting, the duty is now 40 cents, while
it was the Inst year only 25 cents on that de
scription, which pays least. Notwithstanding
the heavy increase, we assure our readers that
the invoices which wo have seen, aro of the
prices which are least affected by the increase,
bcina the best kinds of goods, and, of course,
pny less, the dutv being calculated by the
squnro yard. And on importation of napt cat-
tons, a milled woollen goons, very suitable for
the coats of laborers who nrc exposed to wea
ther, bearskins, carpeting, nnd flannel, costing
in England $4,592. the duty would have a-
mounted to $1.650 under the Tariff-of 1324.
which was nn increase on that of 1816 of 10
per cent, hut is at present 2,693—or about 64
per Cent, calculated on the duty. And this
oil the quantities of goods were all ordered
early nnd tho ship cleared nt Liverpool with
tin allowance of 63 days, so as to he in by the
30th June, but did not nrrivc till some days
afterwards. Many of tho articles would not
have been imported, except for tho belief of
getting them before the new law went into
operation, for it amounts to a prohibition oil a
number of goods.”
Excitement in the South.—We, to-day, lay
before our readers, two extracts, one from a
Georgia paper, the other from the Charleston
Mercury, which nre interesting, an they exhi
bit the state of feeling in ihp complaining
States.
It is charged by the southern anti-tariff
States that the tariffenriches the manufacturer
and impoverishes them.
Two questions are presented to the consi
deration of tho American people.
1st. Docs tho tariff enrich tho manufacturer
at the expense of tho planter?
2d. Does the puhlic interest require that tho
South should bo taxed for such porposcs ?
These questions are apart from the constitu
tional power.
The question of how fnr Congress has the
right to impose duties, is so much involved in
the power expressly granted to lay and collect
duties, that it is difficult to determino where
the discretionary power should be arrested.
The point of duty should be ascertained by a
caroful examination of all the interests in con
flict, and patriotic concessions made where
the public good requires it.
In the ense before us, tho manufacturers
first complained that the measure of nrotectioo
nopuly of the domestic market; they held a
convention at Hsrrishiirgli, seized upon the
present state of parties in the country, and for.
end Congress into the adoption of a mca.
sure which the pooplo of the South believe will
utterly impoverish them. When these maim,
facturcrs met at Hariisburgh, their right to
meet and concert moasuies was not denied.
They were not denounced as traitors. It is
true that it was believed that political men, to
further their ambitious projects, had endea
voured to identify themselves with the manu
facturing interest. Yet, as we have said, the
attempt to advance their schemes, whether of
pecuniary profit, or of personal agrandizement
by means of tho Harrisburgh Convention, was
not denounced as treason. But no sooner is
it attempted to get up a convention of citizens
to bo selected by tho anti-tariff States fertile
purpose of producing a concert of action
among thoso opposed to the measure recom
mended by tho Harrisburgh Convention, than
those who make tho proposition arc denounced
as traitors.
Is not such denunciation calculated to pro
duce treason ? Is it not calculated to destroy
that attachment to tho Union which alone
makes us one people? Is it not calculated to
separate the South from the East as much in
feeling, as the partisans of the overgrown ma
nufacturers would persuade us they are sepa-
rated in interests ? Is it not calculated to en
gender feelings of hostility, and to cause ihe
South to look upon the East as tyrants and
oppressors, instead of brethren of the same
family ?
If theso questions arc answored in tho affir
mative, as they must bo, what are wo to think
of those who are doing all in their power to
produce this unpleasant hostility between the
North and South ?
Who are they that are engaged in the work
of strife !—and what are the grounds upon
which it is attempted ?
The persons engaged aro the leading parti
sans of the administration, and the ground up
on which it is attempted is, that in two instan
ces, meetings have been held advising the Go
vernor of South Carolina to convene the legis-
turc of that State to deliberate upon the best
means of relieving the people from the burdens
under which they labour.
So far from entering into any act of rebel
lion, tho Governor has refused to call the le
gislature, and by his example and precept, ad
vises the people of the South to appeal to the
good sense of Congress by argument, and to
relievo themselves from oppression by living
within their resources, and denying to them
selves (lie use of (lie articles burdened by tax
ation.
Yet the organs of the government denoun-e
tho public men of the South as traitors, and tho
people as guilty of trenson. But when called
upotj to specify, the wily Editor of the Intelli
gencer exclaims—I have used no names. I
have denounced nobodv in particular ! !—U.
S. Tel.
The Cherokces. —A person from Loveley’s
Purchase, who passed through the Cherok
natiun last week, informs us that the people of
that nation show the strongest signs of their
disapprobation of the late treuty. Present ap
pearances justify the belief, (hat their Delega
tion will lose their heads as soon as they re
turn. There appears to be one general mur
mur against them. Poles havo been erected
in front of the houses of the Delegation, on
which their heads are to ho exhibited as soon
as they return. Our informant saw one of
them as lie passed through tho nation. The
people were very clamorous—collecting in
mobs, drinking, nnd conducting in a very dis
orderly manner. Their excitement was prin-
eipallydirected against the Delegclion—though
our informant heard of their denouncing some
white persons whom they consider instigators
of the treaty. It is not believed that they will
proceed to commit violence on any except the
Delegates. We shall endeavour to ascertain
the result of this excitement, mid lay it before
our readers, hut hope that nothing serious will
grow out of it.
We understand, that Mr. John IV. Flowers
who acted us Counsellor to the Delegation at
Washington in making the treaty, returned
home sonic weeks since, bit after stopping a
few days, and finding tiling assuming rather
too squally mi appearance for him, he decamp
ed in a hurry and lias not s nee been seen in
the nation.—Little Hock {A. T.) Gaz.
Negro Stealing—On the 23 ult. a negro
fellow, beloiving to Henry B. Thompson, of
Taliaferro county, was met in tho road, while
on his way to work, by two wnggoners with
their wagon, who promised a treat to him if he
would assist in moving a part of their load-ng;
after tho hoy got in, he was seized by tho
throat and confined, nnd one staid in the wa
gon for the purpose of keeping him quiet while
the other drove. They continued travelling
till about ton o’clock at night. He wus fas
tened with tho lash of the whip to a chain at
tached to the wagon, and wns intended to ho
guarded by them, hut fortunately sleep over
came them, nnd tho boy, with a knifo he had
with him, cut the whip by which he was con
fined and returned home. He states that they
passed through Crawfordville, and Grcoiies-
liorough, and appeared to be travelling west
ward.—Rural Cabinet.
It is said tho distinguished house of Roths-
cliild consists of five brothers, that they pos
sess on unincumbered capital of 20,000,000
of dollars, and can command 40,000,000 more
During 12 years they have furnished loans
and subsidies to the several courts of Europe
to the amount of live hundred millions of dol
lars, besides other money transactions.
Remarkable Artist.—One of tho candidates
for tho prize in tho Parisian academy of paint
ing, is a young man named Du Cornet, who
was horn without arms, and has on each foot
hut three toes, with which ho puints, nnd ex
cellently well too. lie has already gained two
medals lor his former productions.
The Now Y'ork Statesman contains a no
tice of Williams’ Printing Machine,which prin
ted 26 tokens on both sides, equal tv 52 tokens
on one side, and completed the work about
four o’clock in the afternoon.
Eight, or say tea tokens, by hand (on the
ord inary press) is a days work. Tho work
man says he can do forty on this piess, on both
sides, equal to eighty in the common way ;
and on Williams's iron press nearly finished at
the Sterling Works, lie says lie can do eighty
on both sides, equal to 20 days work on the
old presses. Seeing is believing, and twenty
six tokens on both sides in one day is an as
tonishing fact, not heretofore equalled or heard
of in America.—Alex. Gaz.

COTTON AND TOBACCO
A pillow case, made of common ticking,
which was brought to this country by Ogle
thorpe, and on which Gon. Washington slept
whilst on a visit to our city in 1790, has been
preserved as a memorial by ail old family re
siding here. A few days since, tho pillow case
was opened to receive a supply of new feathers,
when it was found that the down of the fea
thers had so closely adhered to tho ticking,
as to present the appearance of a Turkey dow n
shawl of a mouse colour.
Some persons nre oven now in tho lmbit of
applying bees’ wax to the ticking ; it is proba

accumulated ; which obviously is not inter

either of oak and hickory, or pine,or rivcrlanas; and ti.
veral of these kinds occasionally united; in tracts of
100 acres, and fractions of vanous sixes, adapted to
most of tho purposes for which land is wanted.
From tho pressure of the times: and more especially
from tlie quantity of lands and town lota, that will have
been lately in the market, those muat unavoidably sell
low. Ana lying at the head of navigation, immediate
ly around the third town ofthe State in population and
trade, there is every reasonable prospect of their soon
rising in value.
Purchasers have now an opportunity, and apparently
tho last that will soon offer, of obtaining on cheap and
very indulgent terras of payment, choice situations for
residence, for trade or fanning,
