The Savannah Republican notices the arrival in that city, by Railroad, of a entail lot of Flour from Nashville, Ttun sse.nnd very properly exults over it,os the first i fruits of Georgia enterprise. True, these are the first few drops of the mighty torrent which is destined to | sweep from the Weal to the Atlantic, and it becomes j our seaboard friends seriously to enquire, how far and in what respect they are to be benetitied thereby. V\ <• feel that we can speak to them in ull plainness, because they know our feelings too well to suspect our motives. Let us, then, remind them, that tint ugh alt the region of country penetrated by these improvements,construct ed by Georg a enterprise and with Georgia capital, f emissaries from a rival city are swarming, and iniHrcp- ( resenting the interests, the capital ami the character of So van null. Unfortunately, there is no one to answer them, and they are rapidly poisoning the minds of our own people, and inducing them to impoverish the treas ury and institutions of their own State, to the advantage and enrichment of a powerful rival city. Honest, well j meaning nn*n urc absolutely iiersuaded that Savannah is no market for pr< .luce nod offers no facilities for those desirous of purchasing goods. ‘Fit** country too, is i flooded with Carolina in*mey, issued by indirect agen cies, established in violation of law. ‘1 hese stories in regard to the want of emeiprifle and want ol means in Savannah, are rendered the more plausible from the | fact that so few of her merchants, or their agents, nr*- j seen hi the country. A gentleman recently informed i us that during a v ry extensive tour through upper ■ Georgia, North Alabama and Tennessee, he met with but tiro mm who seemed to take any interest in our Seaport, amt that they were connected with th** Central and Macon A Western Roads. Savannah was scarce- 1 ly spoken of by the Tennesseans or their pap. is, and ( many of the people actually believe that our great State work is the result of Charleston entciprise!— j When informed .hat such was not th*- case, they would j at once enquire, “ xrhy then, in your State Hoad runin connection icith the Carolina Hoads, instead of the line leading to y ur own Seaport ?*’ Tlie reason of all this uiisapprehopsion is. that the 1 people of Savannah hove l*en, and still arc sleeping over their rights and Her merchants have had their eyes fixed upon New York, and upon New and Old England, rather tlfin upon the vast back coun try which can alone give permanent prosperity to the place. Her Bankers have Iwn regarding solely the in terests of the instead of consulting the general good of the people who bestowed upon them their corporate p< w;rs. f uey have been using their : means and their cr* iitnt other points, m such a way as to draw produce out of the State , in- i stead of to their own senpoft They have been playing the port of Brokers, and operating in Exchange, instead , of aiding in developing the icfourees of the State, and ‘ concentrating our trade at pcius which will most beti efit the treasury and relieve tlie people from taxation These things ought not so to lie and if Savannah would | profit by the developments now being made, she must adopt a different policy—* he mist not be content to fol- . loir Charleston, but throw licrsefin the advnnee,assume j her proper position, and mamtiin it at all hazards j This cun be done Her inerchints and her capitalists j should organize nt once for a rigorous campaign ; her Chamber of Commerce, now worse than dead, should j be reorganized, and her Banks should establish agencies j not only along the line of the Road, but beyond it, fur j in the interior of Alabama ind Tennessee. These j agencies should be authorized to aid merchants in \ making advances mon prodice consigned to well I known houses m Savannah or Macon. Tlie very fact I mentioned by the KejmUiran.iuui repeated in the l*e- I ginning of this article, proves he extent to which the | influence of our improvements ire beginning to be felt. | Men who are capable, and wlv> have the means and i the energy, will not fad to direct these gathering ! streams of trade into one grand current, which will empty itself somewhere into m Atlantic harbour It is for Savannah and the p.> oleos Georgia to say. whether they will make an li >rt, or ailow others to j rcaptb ■ golden harvest which is the re-sait of Georgia i enterprizc and Georgia capital. Gen* Scots a;il >lr. Trist. It appeals mat tin* between Gen Scott an*l : Mr Trist originated as follows The latter, on his ar- j rival at Jalnpa, requested th*’ commander in chief to j transmit a sealed pmcket tdthe M xiean Secretary of 1 State. Scott declined to do so, as be might be held accountable for its contents, with which he was not ac quainted. Trist then “ informed the General that he had come to Mexico with full authority to conclude an armistice with the Government of Mexico— to sus pend all military operations, and to make all necessary arrange aents preliminary to the negotiation of n treaty 1 of peace.” Gen. Scott, finding himself thus made subordinate to a clerk ol the Department, “ at once informed Mr Trist that he should not permit him to interfere with the o|>c rations of the army, which was under his coni nnnd: that under the circumstances in which that army was placed, an armistice w-as strictly a matter us j military policy; and that he should recognise noaus pension of hostilities to which li s ament,as Command- I er-tn-chief of the forces in the field, should not oe pre viously given. At the same time, he wrote to the Sec retary of War,repeating his declarations to Mr. Trist. I and assuring tlie Department that he should retain the art,ml command ot the army, until formally recalled.” This correspondence is said to be on file in Washing- 1 ton,:; .and, it’s intimated, clearly proves that Mr. Folk j has virtually made a clerk in one >f the Departments j Lieutenant General of the army, and given him author- ! ity,contrary to all military usage, to control and letter j its operations. Whether the object is to prolong the war, or to deprive Scott of tlie hotair of making a ! peace, remains to be seen. Gen. Clinch’s Assailants. We copy the following precious morsel from the Cnsrfvihe Hioneer of the 9th instant, in order that our readers may discover the true character of the assaults which our opponents are already making upon one of . the purest, bravest and moat unassuming gentlemen in j the State: “ Look out for the sirelltd-head You may expect Duncan L.

The thing is too ridiculous to he be : licvccl by any one in his senses. y\s wed might n man ’ attempt to compare Mr. McAllister with G< n Tav j lor ns with Gen. Clinch, in this particular.

The : kindness and affability of (Jen Clinch to his soldiers, have been proverbial for years It is notorious that no ’ man in Georgia is more courteous or liberal than him self to the‘‘common people,” and wv can safely appeal to thousands who have m<-t him in every part of the State, to attest the correctness of this nsserti*>n. He* 1 has been no mousing politician,and has nev -r traversed { the Slate in search ol popularity.

It is the only cry ! that can place us in safety. To express opposition to 1 the war, without declaring that the war is to be aban doned ; to oppose it. and still vote supplies for it. is only to support the Administration in carrying it on. No man in thp notion would be more relieved than the President by seeing an end of the war. If 1 under stand his feelings, he would have keen hapj>y if Con gress had refused appropriations at their last session ” Thus it appears that Mr Polk is actually waging this war for political purposes, nnd with the hope ofj placing the Whigs in a false position. Iu the very tnc.- j sage in which he charges them with affording “ aid and j comfort” to the enemy, he urges them to vote millions jof money and risk thousands of valuable lives. and yet, ! his bosom friend David Half, informs us that Mr Polk j “ would hare been happy if Congress had refused ap propriations” !! Mr. Polk then would have been • happy to see a majority of Congress turn traitors to 1 their country—nnd for whnt reason ? Solely that he ‘ might make political capital, relieve himself from the consequences of his own stupid blunders, and destroy the Whig party forever. For ourseives, we believe th-* Whigs were right in letting the party in power take the responsibility of their own measures. ‘1 fie war was of their getting up and it is in their power to terminate it at anytime. them do so. If ” appropriations are j to cease” and the honor of the nation is to be sacrificed, let the Democrats take the responsibility. The Itriifronds. We regret to hear unceasing complaints in regard to ! the present railroad arrangements in Georgia. The State i Road runs exclusively in connection with the great ! mail,t*hus mnkinga large proportion of the Georgia im j provements subservient to the P<*st Office Department, I rather than to the people of Georgia, whose means have ‘ been liberally expended in their construction. This de ranges the communication so entirely between the dis- I ferent parts of the State, that the passenger from Sa -1 vannah tor instance, is delayed two nights on the way i between that City and Marietta and vice versa ; thus unnecessarily increasing the annoyances and expenses of travel within our own .State. Tlie people of Georgia who have given these eornpa ! nice their corporate privileges and who have expended i millions ol their money on the great State work, ought not to be thus inconvenienced merely for the accoinino ; dation of througn travellers. The effect of this nrang**- | ment must be to throw nearly the whole of the through . travel over the Georgia and Carolina Roads, i iul the ! trade must necessarily follow the travel; because no man wdl consent to spend his time and his money use lessly in getting to Savannah, when he can reach Charleston in one third the time and at less expense.— It appears to us that this policy of the Companies muL the State Rond is alike unjust to the Stockholders nnd the people at laige. It in fact makes the whole Rail road system of the State tributary to Charleston, and the next Legislature ought to throw some wholesome 1 restrictions around the subject. ‘Fhe State Road at 1 least can be controlled fJy the Legislature and it ought to be required to run inconnection with both routes or with that one which is most identified w ith Geor gia interests. Even the Companies are not beyond the reach of the people. Their charters are not perpetual and they will find it to their interest to consult tlie pub ! lie convenience as well us their own. We are not disposed to play the part of professional grumblers, nor to do aught that would injur the Com panies in the public estimation ; but we humbly con j ceive that there must be something wrong in the man- 1 age ment of the Roads, when a citizen residing east of Macon, can reat it the Cherokee counties via Savannah I Charleston and Augusta, almost as soon as !>y th*- di rect road through the city of Macon ! < ourt of Equity.

NEW YORK, July 7, 1847 Gentlemen, —The extreme heat and the noise of the 4th of July celebration, have driven a large proportion . ot the businessmen of New York into the country, in quest of fresh air and quiet. Consequently little is do ing, though another steamer meanwhile has arrived at Boston, with advices of some importance. The great River nnd Harbor Convention at Chicago now in session, attracts much att ntion, and large del- j egntiotis are in attendance front this region of country, j ‘Fhe President of the United States returned here yes- | terdny morning from his Eastern tour, and after a j “hasty” cup of colfee, started for Washington via Tien- j ton, New Jeifiey, where he made a short pause. My impression is very decidedly that whatever may have j been the object or expectation of Mr. Polk in this “progress,” it has entirely failed to conciliate the popu- I lar esteem; cortrariwise has rather lowered his stand- j ing and left an unfavorable estimate of his character. The new steamer Iris, sails to-day for Charleston, on an experimental trip and back. This is one of the m*beautiful st am ships afloat, smaller than, altho j similar to the Washington , (Bremer packet) in her ‘ buiid &c* We shall not he surprised to hear of her I beating the popular Southerner. The Iris is intended I believe, for the home trade. The sen route to Charles- j ton is becoming very’ r polar, and will ultimately em- I ploy many vessels ot this class. Anew steamer called the California, intended for i the Mobile and New Orleans mail line, is to he launch- ! ed to-day. In the line of steam ship building, N. York ! is doing a great business this season. It will amply j gratify an intelligent cariosity to visit the principal ship- j yards here, and maik the amazing improvements >n naval architecture and tlie great facilities afforded by it to modem commerce. The precise effect of the last steamer’s advices cannot be stated. The flour market is quite unsettled, and transactions hive been limited. Some small Riles i were made yesterday at $6 25, although the opinion , prevails that it will settle down to #6 00, and remain fimi at that mark.

COLUMBUS, July Btlk 1847. Messrs. Editors: I was exceedingly gratified at your remarks upon the Magnetic Telegraph contain ed in your Journal of the 30th ult. Now that tins most important work is in active pro gression between Washington and New Orleans, which will st) closely connect that gre. ( t Southern emporium with New York and Boston, it becomes a matter of wei ions moment with the various public prints that they should by prompt an 1 energetic measures, endeavor to effaet a systematic and advantageous arrangement for the transmission of their intelligence from the various l*ints upon and from the termini of the lines. To accomplish such a measure, I can see no better plan than the one prvqioscd by you for a convention of the various editors interested in this matter at Savan nah or other central point, where they might meet in committee with the authorities of the line, and determ ine upon a satisfactory tarifT of prices. This to be effect ual. should be in constant agitation ut the present time, and should he prosecuted with vigor until consumma ted—the months of August or September should sc* the matter determined. Those interested in this line have thought much and labored to devise a plan, wherein all the various classes of papers could partake of the benefit cf the Telegraph upon an equitable relation with each other. Thus one daily print equals six weeklies, or three semi-weeklies, 1 or two tri-weeklies. Connecting thus there art* equal to sixty or more daily papers which should combine to receive the Telegraphic news, having three general re porters, one in New York, New Orleans and Wash ington—their united salaries would be about f.Vino Let euch print pay seventy cents per day for their communications, entitling them to news from both di rections, not to exceed three hundred words in al!— N*-w York un l New Orleans would only receive one communication each, of 15') words, hut as it would tra verse tin* same distance, the profit to the line would be the kiiiic. In addition there would fa* a digest of foreign matter once a week, which would occupy five times as much s|mce —this would cost each paper alike $'J7 50 per ■ annum Tls* whole expenses of daily ami weekly new * with exi**iie of reporters divided among the sixty journals, would l*c per annum, For a Daily $414 83 “ “ Tri-weekly $56 Ifi ” ‘• Benii-winkly 203 27 “ “ Weekly 150 38 This certainly isn meagre nu.ii when we reg.itd tlie quantity and the iinporlaiiee of tlie matter transmitted, and no rctqiectable paper cottl l powubly object to such terms. ‘Flic same amount of word* sent by individual)* would pay over tiv* hundred dollars weekly.

TKNN , July U, 1847. Gentlemen l tuk** pleasure in stating that our ex perimental trip up the Jilk River, has been entirely •itce<*Mul. We found the river navigable for steamers of moderate draught, aa high as Elkton, a distance of sixty miles from the upper end ol the Muscle Shoals. — The obstacles were few, and comparatively easily over i come. At Elkton we found ourselves within eighty* two miles of the city of Nashville, and between the two places there is one of the best turnpike roads in Middle Tennessee. From Chattanooga to the nit u'.h of the Elk, the distance is about PdU miles, navigable at all - ; i -aeons. So you see, the moment the Western & Atlantic Railroad reaches the Tennessee, there wili In* only eighty miles of staging between the Atlantic ports and Nashville, and the whole* route may be traversed in less than four days. This will do very weli for the present; but Tennessee is destined to have a ► t 11 more speedy communication with the seaboard.— The question Ik s finally been settled. The corporate authorities of Nashville, have been duly authorized to subscribe half a million of dollars for the construction ol a road from that place to this. If the next L \gista tures ol tan State and of yours will only do liu-ir duty, ’ within tluee years from the present date, there will be a ; continuous steam coimnunication between the South i Atlantic ports and the extreme North-west. To the j people of Georgia wc owe many thanks, while I regret ! I to mill, that Carolina, by her management, Ls likely to reap the harvest sown by Georgia hands. Your, &c. W. COMMUNICATED. The Democratic Convention. This body has deceived its friends, as well uh its op ponents For weeks before its assemblage the country was told, both by the leaders and the press of that par- j ty, that Gen. Taylor would be nominated by it for the i Presidency, ami that he was a Democrat. They met ■ j —:i committee of twenty-two was appointed to report i resolutions to the Convention ; in its meeting a motion j was made to nominate Gen. Taylor—a member moved | to strike out his name and insert that of Henry Clay, J upon the ground, that Gen. ‘Taylor was now, and al j ways had been n Whig—the motion to nominate Gen ! Taylor was lost, and the Convention ratified the action of the committee, and so far from nominating him, it | did not even return him its thanks lor his gallantry and lofty bearing in a war which they bad brought upon tile country. Now, a plain question presents itself to the mind of every man ; Why did the Democrats refuse Gen. Taylor’s nomination ? The delegates knew as much of his politics before they went to Milledgeville, as they did after they got there ; the Editors knew ns much before the Convention assembled, ns to his poli tics ns they did after; why then was not Gen. Taylor I nominated ? Three fourths of the delegates were in fn- i vor of the nomination ; they knew he was not identifi- I ed with the Democratic party, yet ns a Southern man, a slave-holder and cotton planter, they were willing to rely upon him at a time when Northern fanatics were attempting to overthrow the institution of slavery, and j as such, they were willing to support him for this high i office, —why then was Gen. Taylor not nominated ? i The Hon. Howell Cobb told them, that lie disapproved j the net, and rather than offend him, they disobeyed the j w ell known wishes of the people who sent them there. 1 The Convention was called a Democratic Convention, hut it was in truth, a Cobb Convention, —assembled to register the will of one man, and not of the party. He spoke and all obeyed—and in their obedience the wish es of the people were sacrificed to answer the views and ends of a political manmiiverer. Mr. Cobb was in fa vor of the election of a Northern Democrat to the office of President! He knew if the Democratic party of Georgia should ever get committed in favor of General Taylor, that there was no earthly hope of inducing i them to vote for a Northern ally. He had himself vo- > ted w ith the Northern Abolitionists in favor of the es- j tablishment of a territorial government in Oregon, j where slavery was prohibited—he was opposed to Mr. Calhoun’s resolutions and course in the Senate in be half of Southern rights—he had voted to censure Gen. Taylor for the capitulation at Monterey, and he knew and felt, that should the Democratic party nominate lien. Taylor, lie would be condemned for his course by his own party—and that there would be a triumph of Southern rights over the principles of his anti-slavery Democrats of the North, for whose election to the Pre sidency, he desired the Democrats of Georgia to vote. And the Convention in a moment of blinded partisan feeling, forgot their own cherished South, and propos ed to sacrifice it to the success of party. Many have already deeply regretted that they followed Mr. Cobb’s lead, and many more will regret they ever heard of him. The proceedings of the Convention were regard ed as the triumph of Northern Democracy, over the interests and feelings of the South ‘That there should I be a feeling of indignation throughout the Democratic I party is not to be wondered at —for there are few out- I side the leaders, who are prepared to sell the South, to secure the triumph of party. The committal of the Dem ’ ocratic party ol Georgia to the support of a Northern 1 man for the Presidency, is now regarded as lull and l complete, and it now remains lor the people to say ; whether they approve the acts of their lenders. Do you : prefer Silas Wright to Gen. Taylor lor the Presidency ! This is the issue you will be called on to settle by your votes next (October! Rut Mr. Cobb had another object in view ; he wish ied to furnish evidence to the friends of Silas Wright, that they might show to the abolitionists, that I Southern Democrats were nearer identified in feeling , with them, than Southern Whigs. ‘To that end he had hut to compare the conduct of the Democratic conven j tion with that of the Whig convention, and say, “See lu re ; the Democrats have refused to nominate General i Taylor a slave-holder, and who we have said was a l Democrat, and in favor of whom, are three fourths of our party, this man the people expected us to nominate hut alter we got into convention we laid him aside . at j the suggestion of a member of our party who is the i friend of Silas Wright; while the Whigs have nomina ted this same slave-holder with acclamation, as their candidate for the Presidency !!’’ But Mr. Cobb was not disposed to stop here. He had understood that Col. Johnson was in favor of the nomination of Gen. Taylor, an I that the articles in the Federal Union favoring that object were approved by him. He theiefore determined to crush every hope of Gen. Taylor by defeating Johnson’s nomination for Go -4 vernor, and this he did. But for him Johnson would have been the nominee. Mr. Cobb had been with Mr Towns during all the last sr&ion of Congress—he knew his feelings intimately, that he was opposed to any i Southern man lor the Presidency, and Gen. Taylor in particular, and that he favored the election of Silas Wright. As such. Mr. Cobb caused his nomination, for the purpose of testing the strength of feeling in Geo gin for Silas \\ right. II Mr. Towns should be elected, or even hold a respectable poll, the leaders of the party in Georgia will make fchlas Wright their candidate,and in voting for Mr Towns in October next, the people will be douig nothing more nor less, than voting between Gen. Taylor and Bdn* Wright lor the Presidency ( 81a ve-holders of Georgia, who do you prefer? It is not to be wandered at, that so ninny members of the Convention, who were not let into the secret of Mr Cobb's trick**, should have so earnestly and often en quired, me y<u not going to nominate Gen. Taylor? Hut no, the i hoice of the people was set asule, to make 1 way lor thnt of a political trickster. Resides, the nomination of Mr Towns was tribute | to the anti-slavery feeling ol the North Mr. Towns j had once toted for a rule receiving abolition petitions! mto Congress; this was a great concession to the ah- i olitionists, and a powerful argument to them, why they should unite their destiny w ith Northern Democrats.— ‘ lie was uncompromisingly opposed to Mr. Calhoun in ; every net of his life—and hatred to him, was a high recommendation to Northern fanatics. Mr. Cobb glo i ried on every occasion to stub Mr Calhoun ; he hod proposed to his fi ends while on the circuit to kick him i out of the party, and hud instigated uud approved one ! I meeting at Ath< ns, which did so. All then.* things i | would Ik* acceptable to Northern Democrats, and all j these have been procured by Mr. Cobb. Now do the I IH’opleapprove them! ‘Their delegates in convention have Is-en duped into the deeds, but are the people sold to the it Itatl.’s, that their light* mu: t be sacrificed to pit mete then ambitious ends ? On the very day when the Democratic Convention rrfbard to nominate Gen. Taylor, thousand ol its voters were in la vor ol him, and til’ ir voices and feelings have been suppressed, and iuur wishes misrepresented, to gratify the trickery and “.inning of political intriguers. ‘The schemes begun in the Convention ore to be cur led out, nil ovn the Btnie,uul in every county, the or rnnization of the Democratic pnity, is to he hnsrd upon i* preference of a Northern Democrat lor President vor General ‘Taylor, The candidate for Governor, nd all the candidates for the Ijepislature, of tin* Deni ‘•intic party, will he arrayed upon the principle i preference of a non-slaveholder lor President, ver Gen. Taylor, and slave-holder* of Georgia, if you lefrr a Northern Democrat lor I’resid ut, over Gen Taylor, a dave hortfer. and a gallant ol I soldier, vote for 1 owiik, ami all the Den menus for office—-but ii not, thin vote against the whole of them. Rut it was necessary to guild the pill w hich these lead ers intended the people should swallow : it was necessa ry to hide the hook which was to hang them by the hail, at which they were to bite. The resolution*were the bait, but Silas Wright was the hook—hence the convention resolved, that they would not support for President an advocate ol the Y\ iliuot proviso, and yet in the next breath, they resolved to abide the nomina tion of a National Convention, and if that convention should nominate Silas Wright, they would abide it— They resolved in the language of the Virginia resolu tions, that, our right to earn- slaves into any part of the territory was undisputed, but yet in the next breath, re solved to give up two thirds of any of the territory to be acquired, to Northern abolitionists’ The convention looked one way and rowed another. They were all things to all men. They would resolve any thing to deceive the people, whom they desired to keep from supporting 1 Den. Taylor, and wished to inveigle into the advocacy j of Silas Wright!!! Now what confidence is to be pla ced in such a set of politicians ? How can they be ! trusted by the people ? Opposition to General Taylor was the whole object of the wire-workers in the eon- * volition, and they will find next October, that the peo- I pie have sveerely rebuked such ungrateful and hollow hearted feeling.

When the nst mineral and agricultural products of not only Cherokee, hut of two-thirds of the entire State of Ten nessee. shall he transported to the Atlantic side, we honestly believe thnt the business of the State Rond will compare favorably with that of any other Rond in the country. We believe it will pny as well, and we are convinced thnt no other Rond, not even excepting the New York &, Erie, is calculated to exercise a more beneficial influence on the country through which it passes. Asa result, the vast wealth of the Cherokee country will, in the next ten years.be developed ton point that a century could not reach without this road. And here we have n word for our friends in Cherokee. This continuation to the Tennessee river, to bring in the products of Tennessee, will benefit you; it will j make Savannah and Charleston great grain, ns they are j now great cotton markets—and the larger the market, I the better the prices. This rule applies to grain a well j as to cotton and rice, and the principles of trade prove conclusively thnt Cherokee produce will sell for better jmc.es with the produce of Tennessee than with out it. We rejoice to see thnt Tennessee is waked up. and at the right moment,on the subject of Railroads The ben* fits to 1 e derived from a judicious and well con structed system of Railroads, are now “ fixed facts”— skepticism on this subject is at an end. Tennessee comes fresh to this important w r ork, without embarrass ment or debt. She is fortunate above any other sister State, in having within herself the means to grade, iron and stock every mile of her road, witb the labor of her own citizens; Si she can do it cheaply.and at the same time give an extension to her iron manufactures, which w ill exercise an abiding influence on her prosperity Every dollar judiciously expended on a well digested system of Railroads, will add its foil tale to her wealth, and as it will he the produce of her labor, will give life and encouragement to her industry CITIZENS. COMMUNICATED. Query.—Would not the Honorable Judges of the Inferior Court of Bibb county do well to extend their examinations to the digested Statute Lawsof Georgia, by Hotchkiss, Cobb, and others, a little farther than to Jailors’ fees? It is stated in those law book**, that all the cost of the Clerks of Counts to the entering up of judgment, is $3 75—whereas the Clerks charge $6 25. Now- the law books are wrong, or those officers are i wrong, and would it not be good policy in the Honora- ! ble Court to ferret out the matter, thnt the people might ■ know’ which should lie their guide, the Law Books, or the Clerks ? If the Clerks are entitled to nearly double costs, the Sheriffs should he allowed the same. Equal Justice. COMMUNICATED. A Chance for a Fortune. $5,000 REWARD!

As these gentlemen, the President and his Cabinet, involved us in the wnr with Mexico, the country is deeply anxious to know how many of them have sent J their sons, or sons-in-law, to fight the foe ; and as much i difficulty has been experienced by the people in learn- i ing tlie fncts, the above reward has been offered, in hopes of eliciting the truth.
