Still wc went up the Via Triumphalis. un der oi.ennut boughs of freshest green, delicate branches of pule y.ilow laburnums drooping j over on the banks os either side, wrought like i tiiick carpet with wild thime and countless blossoms of every lovely shape and color, and under our leet the great smooth broad stones, that the Roman consuls and their trains had inarched over, going to sacrifice on Alban mountain. In the full tide of these heroic memories my mind was suddenly recalled to the Christian Republic to which, if it is but j wise and virtuous, God seems to have appoint ed tlie greatest empire of the earth in the i roming centuries. A turn in the road shut I out Rome and Albano, and Castle Gandalfb and tlie volcanic lakes, while the wood-screen j through which we looked, showed n bold, lonely sweep of forest scenery, mountain side t oiling down upon mountain si ie. all clothed with waving woods:; great bare and desolate patches all scared with slumps of noble felled trees; the black mounds of the charcoal burn ers, sending their blue and silver smoke up against the hill salt s in exquisite wreaths ol grace and briguuesa; the dark purple ridges beyond, the clear brilliance of the sky, and i for one utter loneliness; no sight of human habitation village, monastery, palace or way side chapel—it was really like America; and as 1 gazed at it from the heart of this land of great past things. (Italy.) how deeply my spirit was stirred with tlie thoughts of the probable fortunes of that land of futurity, that land wituoul memory, that land ot hope. 1 cannot express tlie solemnity of emotion 1 with which ail that 1 see in these countries of Europe impresses me with regard to Ameri ca. Here, o;i these great hearths heaped with the ashes of many civilizations—here, where one national existence alter another has been ! kindled, burned brightly and been extinguish ed—here, where tlie fine Etruscan vase was j ground nut beneath tlie iron heel of Koine— tiere, where the deluge ol’ northern barbarism - swept the degenerate Roman empire down— ‘ here, where tlie huge conception of spiritual dominion took body in that great church eu- | prem.tcy, wmch is vanishing like the ghost of i giuni before tlie breati ol Almighty I’ruth t..e immortal, universal conqueror of the later and ivs of tlie earth —here, amid lues • stupen- ; u >u in Jinories and thougnts now often do ii uiase apo.i tlie wonderful world beyond ihe j Atlantic!

Oh! if wisdom and virtue bhould yet by times govern the counsels of that people; if the cons, loub.iess ot’ their unexampled posi tion. betokening a ministry of importance in the world, should ever appear to them in all its most majestic significance; if the spirit of that nation should ever lit the gigantic mute rial proportions and incalculable physical re sources of theie country, then indeed, a glo rious Christian commonwealth may arise, and that kingdom of God, lor whose coining all Christ’s followers daily pray, begin to manifest itselfin the holy national existence of a people who have made Christianity a government.

Though we have not done quite ns well ? as we anticipated, wc have nt least shown a slight gain I over even the vote thrown for Governor Crawtord in To Gen. Clinch then, this is a great triumph, aa it was supposed that no man could approach the vote of Governor Crawford in a county where he was person j ally so much esteemed, am! where lus administration i was so deservedly popular.

In 184 C, Towns beat Jones tor Congress in the county 137 votes, und now his majority over Clinch is only 63 votes, being eight votes than the majority of Mr. McAllister over Governor Crawtord. This will do tolerably well. It is but proper to say, that while the great mass ol the people voted lor members of the legis lature according to th**ir preferences, a large number of votes were thrown upon personal or local considerslions We regret exceedingly the defeat of Mr Bivins, especi. ally as he proved himself, when previously in the Legis lature one oi the most industrious, laiilituland ellieient representatives the people of Bibb county have ever had- Here is the result: , GOVERNOR.

Those who have figures of more emponpoi nt are stationed at the wings. The coarse and rude are enrolled os dragoons and cantmutres.

It is im portant th t tli*- L gislaiors as well as the people should be informed on tins subject and wc advise them, after reading this fetter, to In y it aside for future refer ence. The innnen.v production even of Middle Ten nessee, would be sufiicent of itself to giv. to our State Road, when completed, a business, (including, both freight and travel) unsurpassed by many of the northern \ ron .s To sav nothing of its ex tens,on to the mouth of the Ohio or Louisville Ky. it 1* apjfarent that our Geor gia Hoad would have ns much ti ansportation ns could he carried upon a single track. Then, if we add the busi ness that must acme from the Hiwoasee road ami the Tennessee river and her tributaries, what on unlimited prospect opens before us !

It cannot be that Fnty s> veil millions of agricultural wealth will remain forever lock ed up from a market, save by tlie circuitous route of the Mississippi river. T i<* very spoil of the age would force a ii._i, w ~.. .gh mounln.; pol a.lautunt to the Atlantic l ceao—much more through the slender olista- J cles offered to this enterprise and devetopedin the re j port ol the Chief Engineer. We beg therefore those citizens of Georgia who ore I honestly opposed to the extension of the State Road to 1 the Tennessee River to ponder upon the wonderful ar- ; ray of facts presented in Col. Stevenson’s letter, The | very increase of travel upon the Road, in the event of its Extension to Nashville, would more than pay the in- X crest upon the additional money that would be expend ed by Georgia tor the work. Under such circumstan ces w ould it not be the height of folly and madness in our legislators to hesitate as to their action I Tennes- 1 see is already wide awake and active. She is putting forth ilercuhan efforts even in advance. The little city 1 of Nashville has subs'-ribcd half a million of dollars to the stock and committees composed of the first nun in the Cumberland valley are travelling through me state f |,r Lie purpose of presenting the subject in a prope f light before the people.

Judging from the feeling manifested j at the recent Improvement meeting in Knoxville and the resolutions unanimously pissed by that body, we | have reason to hope that the State of Tennessee now comparatively out of debt, will subscribe largely to the ] stock, or a 1 lord other pecuniary aid. Under all these 1 circumstances, then, we appeal to the reflecting, busi- ( ness portion of the people to take such measures as will 1 present this subject forcibly before the next Legislature. 1 The day for “hastening slowly” has now passed—the 1 Credit of the .State has been restored and her finances 1 are now in a sound conditon. Every thing prompts to ‘ a fowaid movement. The present trade of the State J Road will amount to only about $75.000 per annum 6l it 1 is estimated, by the bestofjudges, that it wnl be extend- t ed to $ 59,000 tlie first year after the line is opene Ito t Chattanooga.

Teno. twelve yea s ago, Tennessee purchased con siderably oi every kind of agricultural piotiuce, chiefly from Kentucky, except cotton and corn, notwithstand ing she stands now even ahead ot that great State in the same products that she w is dependent upon her tor so lately; and I am well satisfied that with the addition al inducements furnished by the better prices atforded to her by a railw iy to Charleston and Savannah, that she would double the amount ol her products for sale in five years, for this great revolution in her prosperity h is been created mainly by the fine McAdamized roads that pass from Nashville to almost every rich neighbor hood in Middle l ennessee. To give you an idea o 1 the number, &c., 1 will state that we have running out of Nashville nine roads, and six branches leaving them within the county, and numerous others in the adjoin ing counties running in every direction from Nashville. Two of these roads reach to Louisville, Ky., taking different routes ; another leaves one of these at Bow linggreen, Ky., and runs through the richest counties in southern Kentucky, to Eddyviile, on the Cumber land river, Bolinggreen being at the head of sfockwater navigation from the Ohio river, We then have various McAdamized roads of different lengths, reaching to wards Alabama, but one of which reuches the line, a branch from which goes through a fine iron district to the Tennessee river, at Carrolville ; and others running eastwaidly in different directions to the highlands, from fifty to sixty miles off. In fact, every rich county in Middle Tennessee has its McAdamized road or roads to Nashviiie, but one, Eiaukiin, lying on tlie line of this contemplated railroad. The Kentuckians propose that if we will make our railroad, they w ill extend a turnpike road that we have begun towards Russelvilie through that place, and to the Green river,at the mouth of Muddy river—it being slack water to above that place from the Ohio river. We will also siackwater the Cumberland to the Ohio, if we can get an amendment to a charter obtained at the last Legislature, which 1 have no doubt we will be j able to do. We would have been at this work now, ; but for the detect''in the charter b iiig ol so serious a | nature that the commissioners (1 being one of them) re- | fused to open the books under it. With this siackwater and our railroad to Charleston! and Savannah finished,our system of internal improve ments would be complete; for our river is south of the point where water freezers hard enough to im pede steam navigation ;it ulso empties into the Ohio below that point, which now gives us great advantages over our more northern neighbors, when their rivers are I frozen over and ours open, in supplying New Orleans at ull prices. There is one fact with regard to the commerce of our country thut will operate tog ve.at an important sea son, u very heavy trade to tins railroad, il made, and that is this, at the breaking up ot ail of the northern wa ters, a vast uuiouut ol com, pork, flour, und wheat is poured into New Orleans just as the cotton and tobac co from the more southern Stales is arriving, which, taken all together, gluts the New Orleans market and lowers tlie puce of produce at the very time that the . same cause creates a demand for shipping which raises the demands ot ship owners, and the two causes, tend ing both to lower tlie price and raise freight, niukc it ruinous, many Aimes, to holders ot all kinds ol produce, and mote particularly those holding such articles us ba con, flour, and tobacco, that ure so injured by the cli mate ; and ut the same time the canals ol New Y'ork are closed up, and ve?(Ms are begging freight, and also at Charleston freight is lowest when highest at New Orleans—as an instance, last March freight from New York to Liverpool wus I penny per pound, and the same at Charleston, when it was tlie sum d*y • at New Or leans, or $1 7b per UK) U*s. at New Orleans and svl cents at Charleston—giving an advumage oi $1 -a per 100 lbs. to Charleston, and ready snipping. in $1 25 j would more than pay the carriage from Nashville to ; Ciuirlestoii and place the produce from ihe upper Mis aimippi in market ut Liverpool at least une month soon er. us well us afford a large saving in iiahuranee ; to. u good summer w.*uld reach Nashville from St. Louis, witn good slacltwuier, in forty hours, wh*n she would be five oi six duys to New Oil'*un*<, and tne insurance thence lo Liverpool is muck higher than from Charles ton, <Jk.c. ft tue construction of this railroad lme to Charleston should hav** the Mimic effect upon tlie quantity ut out produce taken to uiurkei tint has been shown on what is called tlie eastern branch ol tlie ifolgnii railway, (when the total amount ot tonnuge reaching the Ger man frontier was twelve thousand tons m 1841, the amount transported alter tne railroad went into up -ra tion was sixty seven thousand tons; in 1542 More the rndwuy took the traffic, the amount of light goods was one hundred und ninety-tour thousand tons , in 1614 it exceeded five hundrsdthousand tons, Ac—see Edin burgh Review for Oct.
