Mr. Prime, one of the editors of the ' New York Observer, weho recently went to I England in the packet strip Devonshire, has written Ijeaie two very interesting descriptive letters oi his trip across the Atlantic In !-•’ ’ban fifteerfiiavs they were in si-ht ofthe Eug lish coast, having never changed the course of tiie ship fronlttte time the pilot left them, off Sandy Hook When within a few boms sail of Portsmouth, ■’ man tell overboard and was drowned. The scene Mr. Prime thus describes I —.V. I' Com. .dJi’. A Man Overboard—Aprilß3d, Evening.— The full moon lose on the sea and hung out I from the sky like a silver globe, with a clearness i and beauty that I have never seen. The ship ■ was sailing well under a fair breeze, and we ' walked the 'leek in the enjoy -ent of one of . the most delightful evenings. Oneaf.er anoth : er of thr passengers went below, and only a few of the younger and more romantic remained to look out on the waves reflecting the beams ot I the moon now riding far up in the heavens. It was nearly midnight when the cry shot throu ;h | the ship piercing every ear and heart, “ a man ; overboard." Except the cry of fire, no sound on j ship is more terrible. For days you have been thinking every time ■ you looked over into the deep through which the ship is rushing, of the helpless and hopeless fate of him who shall be cast into the sea; and when the fearful word is given in that tone of raingleJ tear an 1 pain which the fact extorts, there is a sinking of the heart as if each one had a friend now perishing. Mr. Moore, the second mate, had an assistant in the ship’s carpenter, who had acted as a seamen during th? passage, as we had a miserable crew. He was a fine-looking young man, and the only one of all the men who had interested the passengers. He had been down in my state-room, and told me something of his history. His patients were in Holland, and he was on his way to visit them. A young woman was on board to whom he was to be married in May. and they were to return t ■ America to spend their days His manners were very gen tle. and he looked and spoke as ifhe had left the ’ com nrts of home, and bad entered a lite tor ■ which lie was not formed. My heart had gone cut to him. and in return for some acts of kind ness be had done to me, I was thinking what present I should make him befo« gojr.g ashore, when ut the instant the, shout was made, and i this noble follow, the pride of the men, was i in the pitiless waters Mr. Moore was near him. and had given an ! order to bear ->ff the boom from the side of the j ship: this man stepped over the bulwarks on i the outside, pushed against the boom, the topping I lift gave way. and he pitched forward, head first ‘ into the sea. The ship shot by him in a moment. Nothing thrown over could reach him. His I ei'. s of agony came up, cutting the heart. Oso !,< t- riy. that it would have been a mercy to be .leaf. Ttfo mate with admirable promptness gave the order to pift the ship about. “ Ready auout. Luff round. Hard lee. Tacks and -beets, main top ;il haul: let go and haul.”— I’ifoo be ieaped and cried. ” Put , tare helm hard dols. rSower away the quarter] boat ■’ Never shall I forget tfi« look ot the mate,as he screamed "giw rnt» a knife, a knife. 1 ■ and taking ore from a sailor he passed it through the ropes— in n e;.. i; on-! fouratont Mfew leaped ip w ith him, and dftljjt. th»oe«4r' a life .’ln’ll sent i»tlr,|wseektAsa v « tHurf trtnru was lest. I w’fii'.ied.tto- go with them, and as they struck out into Wd*ep un der that fuii moon, at njiiuigfet, to look for a i drowning brother, I fofr tn»t tijwr .err<n4 WM I noble, though none oi thfffi shoujd five to the deck alive again / Then we gathered oq the stern of the snip, and looked out into the night and the sea to watch the event. It was light enough to see that tears were falling fasten the cheeks of some in that anxious grous. Sfiirje of us prayed It was all we could do The little feogt was soon out of sight. We could hesr the shouts they ; sent up to reach, if it might be so. the eer of the strong swimmer in his agony,” and ttpn *ll was silent, save the wind among the cordage, and the heavy flapping of the saile as the ship : lay to. A dark spot rose on the wave ; the flash ' oi the dripping oars in the moonlight met the eye, and we knew they were coming. The mate was soon seen standing at the helm. Our irnpatience would not brook delay, and we sent out the cry " Ail well V” Our hearts stood still I for the answer; a half spoken ‘ W’ murmured along the waters, and we knew that the ( ! fellow was among the dead. So suddenly; so ' fearfully I To be swept from among us, in the 1 mfost oi’life awf hope. There were many, many 1 tears of sympathy that night, and wbto ( l below and strove to sleep, the vision of a fellow , being struggling in the billows around me. drove > slumber from my eyelids : and when it did come, the vision remained among my dreams. Singular Discovery. There is nothing new under the sun. The American coffin which attracted so much atten tion at the Great Exhibition of 1851, and which by producing a vacuum by means of the air pump. was thought to be an entirely new me thod of preserving corpses from decay, has been just proved to have oeen known in the middle ages. While demolishing, a short time ago, the church ot the ancient Welsh College at Helm stedt. Biunswielc, a coffin made of lead, was found the lid of which was of glass of immense thickness, contained ’he body ot a young girl apparently about twelke years of age, which still preserved every appearance of youth and freshness although the coffin bore date 1-161. A-- private letter Irom a bystander tells us that ' “The face and figure of lhe child per fect as in life, not a single sign of visible throughout the whole perso* * cneeK preserved it, delicate forehead its snowy whiteness. T>-«' r ', whl ;h * as ° f a ’ , beautiful gold color--*’ PyM on the brow and f'l ‘ 1 na OVer tne ‘ ,osom - CGSp and ' r l^B child had lain down to sleep ■ the i -‘ nPn! bef ol,B - The dress of white satin ! Jmrbidered in gold flowers, the shoes of white r velvet, the lace apron, all seemed bright as if newly purchased ; and more astonishing sti I, the bunch of lilies held in the hand of the corpse I still looked as fresh-and moist as though the dew still hung upon it. The workmen engaged in ■ the demolition of the building weie struck with I awe and immediately went in quest of the chief magistrate of the place, who so n arrived on the spot, accom/aiiied by several of the inhabitants Unfortunately the worthy functionary having recently been made the victim of a practical joke in tfie town, and being half suspicious that the sarnie thing was intended, would not believe I in the reality, and seizing a spade from the ’ hand of orie of the workmen who stood near, dealt ■ a heavy blow upon the lid of the coffin, and i smashed one or two of the diamond-shaped i panes of glass of which it was composed. In a ’ moment, and while yet we gazed, a thin cloud ot dust or vapor, like a smoke, rose up from the coffin and dimmed the sight, veiling the corpse from our view. When it had disappeared, we gazed downwards in awe; nothing remained of what had struck us with so much interest and wonder—all had vanished, and left nought be hind but a heap of discolored dust, a few rags of tinsel, and one or ty/odried bones'!” The rage and despair of W- , the great antiquary and muant of the piece, knew no bounds. He did his best to Collett the fragments that remained, and that same evening the coffin was conveyed to Biunswick. where it will no doubt form one of the greatest ornaments of the museum 'I here >a no doubt that the high pre servation of the eoi pse had been produced by the abstraction of all air from the coffin, it is supposed that the child belonged to some great Prolessor oi the University, who had performed the experiment in secret, as it is curious tba amid all this pains and c*re concerning the body ’ of the child, no means should have been taken ; to preserve her name from oblivion. No Wiame is engraved upon the coffin, not even her initials : —nothing but the date of the year in whjch she ] died or was buried (1461.) — London Mas. \ God’s Love.—As the ice upon the mountain, I when the warm breath of summer breathes up- I on it, melts and divides into drops, each of • which reflects an image of the sun :so in life, the smile of God's love divides itself into sepa ; rate forms, each bearing in it anil reflecting an ’ image of His love. Thought.—Thought is a fountain from which flow all good and evil intentions; a mental fluid I electrical in the force and rapidity of it, move -1 merits, silently flowing unseen within its own secret avenues ; yet it it the controlling power of all animated matter, and the chief m»inapring of all our action*.

From present indications the World's Fair in New York will result in a grand failure. There appears to have been from the beginning, that want of energy and system so essential to the success oi so mammoth an undertaking. Thous ands from all parts of the country have been milking their arrangements in anticipation of a v sit to the great metropolis—the great object of attraction being the Crys’nl Palace. There is no doubt but that the exhibition will be opened some time during the summer—hardly until the first of August, however—and while as a na tional affair professing to reflect, as it was de signed. the enterprise and skill of the nation, it will tail of it’ object in many, very many re spects; still there will be much both new and interesting. To the provincial there will be novelty and wonders inexhaustible—and to both provincial and metropolitan, much to see and reflect upon. Some have already taken their departure, and ere a month has elapsed thousands of strangers will have congregated in New 5 ork. As much leisure will thus be afforded them, the thought suggests itself that this spare time may be profit ably employed by making excursions to various parts of New England and the Middle S’ates We have always objected to the fruitless inigra- | tions annually made during the summer moot s to places of fashionable resort and dissipation in the Northern States with no other object than to kill time and consequent waste of money. If our pleasure-seekers would find some attractions bevond the theatres and galleries and museums of New York —if they would but visit the beau- | tiful and thriving towns and c ties of centre N. York and New England, would ramble around the country and amidst the grandeur of the White and Green mountains anil along the beautiful lakes ‘hat deversit’y the whole north ern and north A, '""‘•‘.section of the Union, and would think » "o" low JWook. inquire smliuves- I ligate, talk wK 'C xjLrhey meet: urn! b.- wil ling to learn— 1? is much in the enter ' prise and progressiveness of the northern States that challenges our emulation as well as admira tion—if southern travelers would do this, the practical good resulting would be incalculable. But many, after they reach New Yor —which ] is the great point of rendezvous there—fix them- j selves for the season, hardly relieved by a day's . jaant to a w itering place. A stranger thus sit- ■ uated cannot, from the very nature of the case see anything of northern society Fatigued with j the din ofSity life and crowded thorough’ares. stowed away perhaps in the 6th story of an over-i rowded hotel, and imposed upon by liar- ; pies who feed upon the stranger’s verdaney and ; love of novelty, nothing else could possibly re sult, hut that he becomes, ere long, surfeited j with what he considers the ‘ attractions of the north,” and. disgusted with every thing in and , about city life: returns home to inveigh against the avarice of the north, the meanness and par* i simony and imposition of the section, when they have seen nothing bevond what a mere I street gazer might—having kept company with theatrical goers, hotel loungers and sight seers. If a love for real pleasure had prompted them governed by an intelligent curiositv as well as see; they might have brought back a sto eot experience which, if properly used would go far j towards enabling ns to rival more advanced and densely populated States, and which would place us eie long, even by comparison, upon an emi nence. We have listened to many extatic descrip- I tions of travelers after their summer sojourn . north upon the greatness of northern cities, their vast business and commercial operations—their palatial residences—their delightful places ot resort and a thousand minor matters, from a ballet corps to the learned Russian Rear, and the. . “ Happy Family,” winding up with a peroration red hot with invectives against the want of principle, and filching propensities of northern I people, with an asseveration never again to cross j Mason and Dixon’s line. Now we hope, for the I good of the south, that such never will show their noses north of the Potomac Those who ■ associate with mountebanks, spend money with : bar-tenders and hackmen.at theatres and monkey ; shows, may be sure of being fleeced—and deserve , to be. We have enough charges, well founded ■ too, against the north, without provoking our irritability by endeavoring to saddle upon her . people the fruits of our own folly. 4ft There is another class of our people who pre-rt fer a different round of enjoyment. After a; week’s delay in the great metropolis, in order to | brush up and don the prevailing mode, they j take a peen at the novelties, and dash off into the country ar to a watering place, where they I remain probaply a week, and back again to the | ’ city—a round of amusements ensues, until, I wearied and nervous, .off they go again to re j cuperate—ax seeping along the green meadows, inhaling thAfresh momitain air or enjoying the s*a bath aaildbreezes. landing with coffimenda bl# appreciation the neatness, cleanliness, and I system and beauty of all they see. '1 bus the I season is ixissea—tne retuftLH finally resolved : rrpon. arwi'w’ith a trunk full of notion* en route for home. We will venture tcrassert that four-fifths of .nr people who visi ■ nTB. north, for other than ’ j be ranked among one or ; the rtherof tue, classes we have indicated. Neither brini pack anything useful. The one j gbuse tbe north Because they had not brains ; sufficient tp.gA fieyonrl toe plntr.ii of mounte banks—the’qther wish but to skim along, enjqy- • ing the preaint. hour and giving themselves'i.o : trouble or thought beyond the payment of bills and an occasional grumbling at high prices. They return to talk through lhe events of last, summer's pleasures, and live in anticipation ol the coming seasqn tq be spoilt iu like 'manner. No thought is taken qf home—no P 1 ? 8 ? brought back for improving and beautifying their O'?p homesteads and towns. Home is altogether ig nored. Nothing is joyous or pleasant hut in the distance. The mild winter passes with but lit- Ite inconvenience—spring comes and hursts forth with its showers and g.een verdure and fragrant woodlands—summer steals on apace and we apostrophise our beautiful lands in the words ol the author of “ The Seasons.” I Ricu is thy soil and merciful thy elime, I Thy streams unfailing ip the »ummor’s drought.” | But no more—romance is at an end. Our I “ pnfailing stream” refresh only their natural : banks, our towns are desolated, no provision ’ maile against the,solstitial heat. Their denizens j betake themselves away, and hundreds of miles distant sit beneath grateful shades, coded by bubbling fountains, which have their sources perhaps scores of miles away, and while beguiled by such pleasure forget their own “guardian oaks” or elms><ltisg and'parched fora cooling shower from the rashing river or purling brook which loves the banks perhaps almost at their verv feet. The rich aod green shrubbery is ’ scorehed. tbe liowqrs are wilted the ■ once gravelled walks are grov.»up ip weeds, all in dust, dearth and decay. The Streets are dry, i and dusty, and deserted: houses are closed, ev- I rything iskiil. #nd languid and dull. And why !

The Buffalo Courier remarks that the session has bee a harmonious and fraternal one, although mat ters have been discussed upon which there was r conflict of opinion and of feeling. The slaver} question received more attention than any i other, and was disposed of, says the Baltimore i Sun, in rather a harmless way. There was a strong conservative influence in the body—near ly all its best and most able men deprecating further action as unnecessary and injudicious The fashionable amusement of proml-.-.1.e.- 4313- ciug was unanimously denounced by the As sembly, as improper and injurious for professing Christians either to take part in it, or to quality their children for it by teaching them ti e art; and it was also recommended that the discipline i of the church be exercised towards those guilty i of the offence. Resolutions were also adopted in relation to the marriage of a man with his niece, declaring i such marriage as evidently contrary to the teach ing of the scriptures, and incestuous, demanding the judicial action of the churches, and if not re I pented of should incur church censure. Bayard Taylor, Esq., who has been appointed j Attache to the Chinese Embassy, by Col. Mar | shall, the U. S. Commissioner, thus writes to the ■ N. Y. Tribune from Macao, under date of March I 20th: ■ ’ * ! The rebels boldly avow their intention o< overthrowing the present dynasty. They ex ' hibit the greatest skill and judgment in their operations, and their career is marked by a suc cession of iiiiiiiternipted triumphs. They retain no city or fortress w.ich they capture, respect private property, commit no outrages in indi viduals. an.! seek to conciliate those whom they conquer. The consequence is, their ranks are continually increasing, and unless checked be fore long, they will succeed.iu their aims. The British steamers ostensibly go up to protect I British property in Shanghae. It is not known whether they will do more than this, since, should the rebels succeed, the probable effect will be to open all parts of China to the world The crisis is intensely intere ting. It is the j first time in nearly two centuries that the Im i perial Government has been seriously menaced Col. Marshall, finding no authorities at Canton who were empowered to treat with him, has j determined to go to Shanghae, with the expec- I tation of proceeding to Nankin, where Sen, the Imperial Commissioner, remains at present, en i deavoriug to check the progress ot the rebels. Mr. Taylor also states that Commander i Franklin Buchanan, of Maryland, the successor I of Com. Aulick, wins good all sides, by bis frailk prompt'and conscientious discharge , of the his station. r The Philadelphia Ledger states that the some- I what extravagant appropriations made at the I last session of the Pennsylvania Legislature have 1 made it necessary for the Executive to make a ; loan of some $700,000 from the Banks of Phila- ■ delphia. The loan is for one year, and bears six i per cent. AH the city banks participate in it, loaruhg Snout six per cent, of their respective I capitals The money is to be applied to the ’ North Branch Canal, to the Mountain Division, I and ‘o litupr permanent improvements. No part I of it k'ill be twr’d tor the paymapt ol State intgx-. trrst'.'liEich J*T&Tty The recourse to a 1 loan at thl* tiine hox been made the more irn ! rerative from the fact that the Attorney General has decided that the bonus of $250,000 from the I Girard and Mechanics’ Banks, (whose charters I are just renewed by the Governor signing the l bills,) and which was originally intended for the I North Branch, cannot go to that important im ' proveiuent, b;;t,'gnfc a general law, must go to | the sinking fund. The message of Gov. Marfin, of New Hamp shire, transmitted to the Legislature on Thurs day, states that there are 6.241 miles of railroad in the State in running order, which cost $lB,- 346,0gC fit.

In treating ffpon the subject of accidents on lailroads, the Governor says; I again invite legislation on this subject, and respectfully propose, that carelessness in persons connected with the management or running of railroad trains, and ot machinery in other cor poratioiia, when occasioning the loss of life, may be made an indictable bifence, pupifhable by -confinement to hard labor' for a term of years, according to the aggravation of the offences: and that a Life protecting Commission may be es tablished. with plenary powers to examine into all rqattero appertaining _to railroads or other corporations, which'niay''enouiigei i iie Tiyes of passengers, operatives and all having lawful bu siness with such corporations:—to examine em ployees as to their intelligence and fitness for the stations they may occupy, where careless ness or ignorance may endanger life ; to make and establish rules, regulate speed and time, and to do all other things requisite for the better pre servation of life frotp accidents, occasioned by the mismanagement qt qoi poratjon employees. The banking capital of the State is $3,266,- 000, in addition to that of the Savings Banks, which is $2,132,218. The banks in the. Gov ernor’s view are somi'l and popular, but he is not, apparently, in favor oi the extension of their capital. The debt of the State has increased during the past year from $66,195 08, to nearly $74,000. — The quadrennial session of last fall has been the principal cause ol the extra expense. '.’*3? It is said that in India lines of electrical tele graphic communication work remarkably well in the transmission of important news from posts distant from each other, and 3000 miler ol ad ditional line are to be added immediately. It is related that a short time since, some delay hav ing occurred in the transmission of signals from one of the stations, the cause was asked, and the answer returned that no one could get near the office with messages, as two tigers and some other ferocious creatures were prowling about the office. Highly characteristic this ot the jungle districts, though not an enviable position for the clerk. Disputed Terri roar.—General Garland was to have left Washington Citv on the 3d for the Mesilla Valley. He is said to have authority, in case of necessity, to call upon the Governor of Texas for an adequate force to repel the Mex ican invasion of the disputed territory. The Texan Rangers will respond with alacrity to a summons that promises the great advantages of sure and high pay and easy victory. It is men tioned that Gen. Garland has said that if be should have to hit Trias at all, he should hit him hard. The Journal of Commerce supposes Govern or Trias has already occupied the disputed JMHH ritory with 1,000 men.and says: “ It was certainly imprudent in the Mexi|o*fr' Government to send an armed force to oftfbpy the disputed territory—such a step being virtu ally an appeal from diplomacy ftp the sword; and we are not pre lared to#y that, tbe U. S. government is wrong in this demon stration with a coiKitcr movement. We how ever take it for granted that Gen. Garland is in structed to resort to every honorable means for avoiding a collision, consistent with the main tenance of the question in s/rr/u quo. The first Slid obvious proposit ion should be, that the Mex ican fi.rces shall he withdrawn.; in which case (}en Garland will agree not to enter, until the affairs shall !»■ arranged between the two Goy-, enimenrs. If Gov. Trias declines to dp this and savs his orders are to maintain his position at. nil hazards, then, doubtless, Gen. Garland will also occupy the disputed territory, and if at tacked will defend himself. But, unless attack ed, we cannot suppose that there will be a hos tile collision.” Church Organs.—Two fine brgans were re ceived at Savannah on Friday last, by the brig Empire, from Bisrton.

He left it, how •ver, on the 14 <>f May, and had formed a part ership wth other parties in New York, on chose behalf h» was on his way to India for the nirchaso ot goods. He had been ill during the vhole voyage, jiot so much from sea sickness as rom other ailments, which he had when he nine on im.-.d. Under the care of the shin’s ■iorgeon, w'wever. he seemed t<: lie getting bet or, though";.; continued to be greatly depress 'd, and co. ptMued of serious suffering during he voyage, tltfjffient most of his time, after he first day. m his stateroom, which was in the orward ca“.o, on the starboard side, naxt to that if our inlorfi ttnt. On Thursday, 12th, he was on deck several imes, and Reined quite as well as usual. On Friday mori /ng he go: up very early and went ibove, and worked with the sailors for half an lour in clearing the deck. He came down, and iv accident tvent into the room next: to his own, hrowing hit coat upon the sofa. Being remind 'd of bis mi lake, he looked about, took up his '■oat, and v int out. He soon after went into mother roi p, and asked the occupant if he had rhaved. Hrsaid hebad. He asked him if he had change | his linen.

He said it was of no use—he was very ill and cared but little what became of him. He seems to have then gone below—came up again and passed out. at the larboard gangway, went just forward ofthe paddle box arid jumped over the railing. The passengers being then nearly all at breakfast, no one seems to have <een him go over. A sailor at the masthead, however, saw him as he passed astern, and gave the alarm. The Captain and first officer were both below, but came up immediately, though ait half dressed. The steam was at once blown iff—the boatswain with five men got into the long boat, and the ship backed towards the place where he had disappeared A life pre server had been thrown over, but it was floating by itself. The poor man was seen once or wire to raise his bands high out of water, but ifterwards the only guide to his position was a red garment, supposed at first to be a sailor’s shirt, but which proved to be the inner lining ■f his overcoat. Up to this time it was believed hat the unfortunate person w.<s a sai'or, who had fallen from aloft, and as the shirt seemed to ne alone, it was thought he had thrown it off; and was probably swimming. The sea was perfectly smooth, however, and nothing could be seen of him. The long boat had by this time been cast off, and on reaching the garment found that it; en closed his body, which it seemed to have buoyed up. At first.there seemed to be some slight signs of life. |nd it was hoped he might be reviv ed. Some rlelay occurred in hoisting the boat ilongside, as the ringbolt gave way and let it Imp. It, was finally lifted up—half full of wa. 'er, —and it was then first discovered that the unfortunate victim was Mr. Selden. Although he was evidently dead when brought aboard, all possible efforts, by friction and otherwise, were used for his restoration, but in vain. A plain board coffin was made in which his remains were deposited and taken into Liverpool, where, after m inquest, they were given in charge to the American Consul. Upon his person weje found bills of exchange to the amount of $40,000 on Brown. Shipley & Co. We understand he left a family in this city, upon whom this sad news must fall, of course with crushing weight. All possible efforts seem to have been made for his rescue. Some fifteen minutes elapsed be tween the time the alarm was g ! ven and that when bis body was reached, which is not more than is usual in such cases, though better dis cipline and less confusion might have made it less. The first officer of the Arabia exerted himself to the utmost iu the endeavor to effect his rescue. 1..' ...' ' The Washington Union is inclined to believe the ruruaLgf the arrest of Gen.

As this sale was considered a test for the market, there was a good deal of ani mation among the assemblage, and the prices realized show an advance of about 20 per cent, on the Greens, and about 10 per cent, on the Blacks.

I portance of a Railroad communication between , Macon and Charleston through Augujyi.. I’de -1 sire to bring that subjectrto the consideration ol ourcitizenlf ft will tie remembered, that a few years since, a Railroad convention was held in Macon with the view of obtaining another out let for our trade and produce to the ocean. At that convention an unfortunate division of opin ion as to the point of intersection with the Geor gia Railroad led to a defeat of the enterprise Savannah became awakened to the importance ofdeftnding herself against the threatened un dertaking. and inunediately lent her aid to the Gorddn Railroad, which was ir. a languishing condition, finished that road, and aided in its ex tension tu’Eatoirton She has, also, lent effi cient aid to the Burke Railroad, which will soon be completrd to Augusta. For her energy in urg ng forward these various enterprises »he de serves great credit, and conferred great benefits upon the country penetrated by her roads, and is already reaping the rewards of her industry and perseverance. It was doubtless the design of these two cross roads to prevent the building of a road from Ma con to Warrenton, by opening a communication to the Capital of the State, and silencing the demands of Middle Georgia for a Railroad to the seaboard. But these roads do not meet the ques tion which was projiosed to the convention be fore alluded to. and I shall be greatly surpris' d if Charleston, with ail her wealth and public spirit, shall lie still and see 200,000 bales qf cot ton pass through Macon to Savannah without making an effort to draw a part of them with the accompanying trade to herself. The exten sion of the South Crrolina Railroad across the river at Augusta, removes the only uarrier whjch has pre ented Charleston from compe , fciire siifcessfully for the cotton whigh arrives at -Augusta, and T < iinfflir dOHUTj'nrsr Stus .»11l aid liberally in building a Railroad from Macon to Warrenton, which will so greatly add to the cotton received at Augusta. The importance of such a road to Macon will be seen at a glance. In our present condition we are dependant absolutely upon the Central Railroad, and that Company knowing such to be the fact, will give the preference to those who are not thus wholly dependant. Acting under these influences, the cotton from Griffin, Oglethprpe, Columbus and all intermediate pla ces, will have the preference in transportation over cotton received at Macon. The conse quence will be, that during the business season we will always bejjompelled to wait until the others are served ; buyers of cattail, knowing this, of course, cannot give '«• Hand prices as if there were a speedy communication with other markets. Decrease in prices here will drive trade to othe’ places, and Macon, notwithstand ing the “ material aid” which she furnished in building the Central Railroad, will bo made to suffer by its policy towards her. The road which I am advocating will also be important tn Augusta, For with competition for freights at that point, b’tween the Caroling Road, the River and the Burke Road, produce will always be carried forward at very low rates. With such facilities, and with the favorable com mercial regulations of an interior town, the Augusta merchant will be enabled fa compete successfully with those of Lotn Charleston and Savannah, in the purchase of cotton and in the sale of goods to merchants and planters of the interior. The Georgia Railroad too, will receive the benefit of a large additional freight and travel over the lower part of her road, from the build -, ing ofthe feeder which is now proposed. '• Nor can I overlook the advantage which such a road would be to the beautiful and hospitable city of Columbus. With the markets of the Gulf opened to her by the noble Chattahoochee, and Savannah and Charleston by Railroad, what a commanding position would she occupy. For the building of such a road there from Macon, through Milledgeville anfl Sparta to Warrenton, we rely upon tho cities of Charles ton. Augusta, Macon and Columbus, the planters of Hancock apd Baldwin, the Georgia and tho South Carolina Railroad companies It is cer tainly the interest of all theso to unite their es- lorts in carrying forward the work. Such a road with its equipments would probably cost a , million of dollars, and the money cap be raised if the enterprise will pay. To convince the public of the profitableness of , such a road. I have only to say, that the Central Railroad cannot carry offthe produce which will accumulate at Macon, and a part of it must find its way over the new road. And I have yet to be convinced that a bale of cotton could not be carried through toAwWsta, either to Charleston tor Savannah, as cheap as by toe Central Rail road, with the au] of tfie, competition which will exiijt pt Augusta. And 1 have no doubt, that 1 when the Girard and Mobile Railroad shall be ’ completed, both the great mail and travel will ’ be again attracted to this olfi lips, formerly tra • versed by the hlrr.Uring stßgu Hat* ' \ Ag«m it is the. univrsal experience,(that I the opening of new facilities for trads and fcivel increases that trade and travel. In fact, the ■ settled policy and conviction of the country, is, ’ that all the business and trade of the country will be done by the railroad. They have already ' driven out all other modes of conveyance, we are dependent upon them, they are no lonjjejf frn article of luxury but necessity, and we mutt ' have tl em, Thq improvements in machinery will keep up with the demands for their increase. ! and they will always pay a fair remuneration. lam aware that the bqi!ding of such q road ’ as I have advocated, might ale,rm the jealousy of those who wish to pncourage our own sea-port towns. But with the facilities. already offered to she need not fear honorable rival ry, and we have been taught in Macon that the I interests qf a particular community, must be , made always to yield to the accomplishment of . any great public enterprise. Charleston is a Southern City—we are proud of her as such, and should do all we can to build her up. and i while we unfeignedly rejoice at the grotying prosperity of Savannah, there is no Georgia, bound as she is to Carolina by a community of intcfesrs arid pursuits, should not seek a favorable communication with the great seaport of that State. G. | From the Charleston ] The New-Schqoi Fresbytsrians. We published yesterday’the resolutions adopt ed by the General Assembly of this sect at its ' repent session, at Buffalo. To, tb.osa who have watched the onward growth of fanatical senti ments aa it has invaded every department of Northern society, this new development will be i no surprise. It is but another fragment of the scum which is ever boiling up from that hissing and angry pool. Politically speaking, wp do not regret it. We rather welcoopp it as the suie working of those netupd causes, which are go ing on to disintegrate on the one hand, and re , caiit, 'beneficently to re-erecton the other. Slave ry agitation is now doing wonders for the insti tution. The South are daily outgrowing gny maudlin sentiment which she may buve hither to felt in relation to slavery, and vituperation and slandef contribute now to the very whole some result of exasperating her peop'e against their calumniators, and instilling a more dogged purpose to adhere to the institution. But these resolutions address tfi suenjhei's of this church in the Sqt;th a eu-ayg and vital ques tion. WRI thyy permit their consciences to be purged on th? subject of slavery by their aboli tion mfs-niymed “ brethren?” [t is Reedless to attempt to disguise the fuyt--:ti;e inquisitor has entered their churches and home*. The eyes of theg jeljaw-citizens in the South are upon them, and they look for a conduct and action worthy of brave Christifns and true Southern ers. We append a set of counter enquiries sub mitted in the following resolutions by a South ern delegate. Dr. Rosa, cj Tennessee. The Rev erend Doctor was evidently determined to pre sent the chalice to their own lips : That, with an express disavowal not to be in quisitorial, &<•.. a commitee of one from each of the Northern Synods of-.-=»aba appointed, who shall be requested to report at the next General Assembly.- .'jfe , <■ 1.

How many Northern Church members, aie the descendants of men who kidnapped negroes in Africa and brought them to Virginia and New England in former years. 7. What is the aggregate and individual wealth of Church members thus descended, and what action is best to compel them to disgorge this blood stained wealth, or to make them give dol lar for dollar, in equalizing the loss of the South by emancipation. 8.

Letter* from ria .' f ' S An intelligent colored citij*n ' has handed to the n rusal a number of private { > i / rro r n persons who had emigrated >f to Liberia, and character ** v rectitude of cond!>ci are well known to ri quaintances here. The writers all conciw in speaking very favorably of their adopted coun t try, and express themselves not only satisfied . but delighted with the change they have made. . They represent the climate as being peculiarly congenial, and the soil as exceedingly fertile, P and state that the emigrants from t» eU. States . have been generally very successful in securing i* homes for themselves and a’qniring the meant # of comfortable livelihood. Some-one or two in» ? stances are spoken of where emigrants have . been unfortunate ; but this is attributed to<auses I likely to be met With every where, and is not , in the least calculated to diminish the force of the statement that the country affords greater”’ q facilities and opportunities for the advancement j of the colored thpv can hope to enjoy r in any other part of the world.

Mr. Johns writes under date ot March 16th, ' 18'3— “ Although [ do not intend to persuade any I man to immigrate here, yet I do say that I ■ would not exchange my position here with that , of ang colored man in the United States.

Johns and Moore, and Several of the writers are anxious to have chsir friends follow them. Georgia Railroads.—Hon. Edward Ever ett, in a lecture delivered in New York, on Wednesday evening last, paid a high compliment to “ Georgia, the Empire State ofthe South,” giving her credit for eight hundred miles of finished railroad. The Herald estimates the ex tent of our railroad track, at nine hundred and ninety miles, at a cost of, say $20,000,000. and ’ adds— Besides these, the citv of Savannah has just surveyed a road to Florida, having its western terminus at Pensacola, a distance of three bun>-„4hf dred and eighty miles. Savannah will build tip' T to its western border, two hundred and ninety miles. $1,500,000 have bean subscribed. Besides these roads, three hundred mi les more are in contemplation, and will certainly be built. These will make the system of railroads in Georgia amount to one thousand five hurgired miles. It is remarkable that the State has ntg given a copper in aid of one of these roads, ex cepting that from Atlanta to Chattanooga, which wholly belongs to it. It may be added that the New York and Sa vannah Ocean Steam Navigation Company have now four shifts of 1,400 tons each—the Florida Alabama, Augusta' and Atlanta. No doubt is en tertained that within the next, three years, there will he a daily line of such ships between the two cities. _• No doubt of it. if we rake the proper steps to ‘ command the transit h-iween tljp Atlantic and Gulf.— Sav.

[From the l.suuAus Daily News, May 18.] Pur impping Triumph* Acknowledged. America is the country which enters into this competition with the greatest energy and skill, I here is no doubt tiial; all branches of the American navy h.uva ihe benefitof an education far superior to rhat which can be obtained by the class in Great Britain In re le.ence to I his it. may be remarked that papers have-been supplied by the American government \ to the masters of great numbers of merchant ' \ vessels, containing a system of directions with respect to observations to be made durin« their re-ipevtice voyages. Aided by toese and the logs oi the vessel*, Lieutenant Maury has been enabled to obtain such a knowledge of the cut rents oi thp ocean, and the trade winds, aa to to reduce the length of certain voyages by almost one-tbird. A discovery of this nature has the effect of giving the Americans some king very like a monopoly of a particular trade for a certain ■time. It is not too much to assert that the logs I of th> greater number ot English merchant vessels would b.uvabeen utterly useless in inves tigations of nature. Tb» general education of matters of English vessels is, no doubt, limitably detective. The feeling of the meeting yesterday was unanimous as to the Necessity ot providing by a sufficient education for the remedy ot evils of this kind. On O<R mercantile and maritime eminence de pends our position among the great powers of the world. We have up to tb» present time been in the possession us so many natural ad vantages that the race of competition has been for us comparatively easy. Ore by one these advantages may be counterbalanced. We are menaced in our manufactures, in our trade, and in our maritime supremacy. As a means of rising superior to these dangers,' none can be more efficient than a sound practical education to the mercantile and mailtime classes of our com munity; and if the meeting yesterday isable to render such an education more practicable, it will merit the gratitude not of the city of Lon don merely, but of the nation at large.
