Cj nborland. in:o unr • i ltiui ite connection.—
By the connection of the lliwassee Railroad
(the largest portion of which lias already been
graded ) Knoxville will be brought, in the
coin's: of time and nit very remotely, in
r 11 1 cm , ‘,'t.o i with the Atlantic, the Gulf
iexi.o, t.o vlisissippi and the capital of
h.: sitate. on t:.e Cumberland. Instead.
;h. clore, of the slow and fatiguing journey
over t ie Cumberland mountains, consuming
not less than three and tys by stages, anil five to six
on horseback, the East l'ennesse traveler may
be conveyed to Nashville by the seemingly
circuitous route by way of Chattanooga in from
fifteen to twenty hours —n Mobile Pensacola.
Charleston and Savannah lie will be convey
ed by steam in from twenty-eight to thirty-five
hours —and to Vi Itsbu { in forty-eight to
tifty hours, according in the speed wnicii the
service may justify—all being within the or
dinary performances of the improved locomo
tives. Indeed there is no limit to the lliglits
of that magicial mid wonderful contrivance
of ingenuity when under the expansive iu
fluences of steam, in England 70 and 8 i miles
and 100 miles perhoflr, have h -ea predicted
as within its L'.ipnhiliti sto [vrib.m Ai.ea I v
on m lay of tiie roads, they arc ru i nag oO
miles an hour which would bring by tne
routes projt'cted Knoxville within six hours
of Nashville, and within tea hours of Charles
ton, Savannah. Mobile and Pensacola. —
Charleston and Savannah are the nearest
ports on the Atlantic to Knoxville—t he dis
tance to the former by the somewhat circuit
ous route of the Hiwasse (it being nearer, on
a staight line ) is in round numbers about 520
and to Savannah 505 miles. Tne port of
Charleston is on the very bo. and, rs of the ocean;
that of Savannah, on the river of the same
name, some ‘d2 miles from us mouth. Two to
three hours’ time brings a ship from sea to the
wharfs of Charleston, the same period speeds
heron her voyage to a foreign destination.—
Tile harbor is capacious and well protected
from the violence of the elements and by ad
equate military works from hostile attacks. —
Charleston and Savan i ill are the nearest
Atlantic ports to the West India Islands and
to South America. The trade to Brazil, the sim
iiarity of whose institutions on djniebtic slave
ry mist identify anduute her m close alii
ar.ee .v.t.i our southern ports, is daily increas

Your Committee have deemed these state
ments not irrelevant, but intimately runnect

portant to si.ow that the route is admirably se-’

tice to this division of their report. than to
echo the opinion of an experienced and educa

embark in the fields of exploration and exam

days, seen enough to satisfy him that few
countries are more giffod in this respect.
In conclusion your Committee would now
present a few statistical statements which
ure well calculated lo have a favorable iniiu
enccon this important subject.
First, as to m irkets. it is believed, that
on a comparison of markets, through a long
series of years that of Charleston. Ibr dome

most steady, the most remunerating, and least

it is to be regretted that tiie comparison

Western country. Lard, Butter, and many

average price of tiie former, (and of ready i
sale at all times ) for West India demand, as
well as home consumption, has been from b
to 12 cents, and ol the latter, from 20 to 25

ways ailord the means of furnisliing it fresh,)
commands from lo to 20 per cent, above Hit
current reported rates. Mo through the whole

do not present this itatement to encourage the
idea that our Southern Kttilronds could be

they believe tiie community would desire less
than remunerating pi tees ibr services perlbnn

vaßt capabilities of r.ulro ids m reducing charg
es, and us the strongest evidence that the in
creased business of which would necessarily
be stimulated by the completion of the entire
line of railroad to Knoxville, would strongly
induce and fully authorize the managers of
tlieee League liouds (Ocorgin. Carolina and
Tennessee.) to full on ru ten some 25 or HO per
cent, below the present ruling lores.
In conclusion your Committee enn only mid,
that under die spirit of die age for rapid rail-;
road intercommunication, it’ this section of the
country will not avail itself of the vast bene
fits which those avenues of intercourse prof
fer, others will, and Enst Tennessee may soon
be surrounded by railways, us she is by the
mountains, which from ibis c.‘*v bound the’
horizon iu every direction. Hut yotir Com
mittee will not permit themselves tedo’tbt but
that the spirit of the Convention of l >hti will
re-animute those to whom this npperl is ad
dressed and that with one united effort, there 1
will be a hearty co-operation in making Knox- 1
ville one of the environs of Charleston, and
the citizens of each feel that they are the
people Os but one community.
As from the want of more frequent inter
course than the pot has ottered union tided
prejudicial teemed to have gamed eirrulatiou
in rc- ird to the health of the ancient city of
Charleston, your Committee linve been ask
ed fir lay before you an interesting d<i u ncut,
prepared with ability by a gentleman emin
ent in his profession, mid from statistics which s
have long satisfied tlnise at itome and abroad,
we have had access lo diem, that Charleston
if not the healthiest, is one of the healthiest j
i ilit s 111 then rld. In the eiijoyin lit of t
uniform and mild climate, with health unsur- 1
passed in any other quarter, she is doubly fur !
tided and protected by u beautiful islau l on
the sea-coast, (concentrated by the nu innrs !
ble victory of Fort Moultrie) und where llie
traveller tbr pleasure, or the merchant in pur
suit of business. may, at any hour of the dav
enjoy the invigorating sen-breeze, or the still
more stimulating ocean-bath.
All of which is rcspectlglly submitted.

JOURNAL & MESSENGER.
11 1 i • \ . G*.
WEDNESDAY. OCT. 13, 1847.
FOR PRKSIDUIVT,
GEN. ZACHIiY TAYLOR.
Mr. f*o!k not Demi.
It nppeant that the report of the iler.th ol Preeidetu
Polk brought by pniwengerH, from Petersburg on Thurs
day last, is entirely incorrect. .Mr. Polk had be n
q rite ill, but on tne sth inat resumed his post in the
Cabinet. We know not what could have induced any
p mon connected with the Telegraph to give currency
to such a rumor, especially as the previous illness of the
President gave to ii the appearance of plausibility and
correctness. That it was circulated ai..l believed in Pe
tersburg, we infer, from the fact, that identically tlu
same statements were made by passengers travelling by
di lie rent routes.
Dcccher & lliownN Ilofel.
W take pleasure in calling the attention of those ol
| ur friends, who may visit MilledgevilSe during the op
’ pro&rhing sesMon of the legislature, to the advertise
i ment of Messrs. Bleuiilr Brown. It is enough to
siiy that they may always be found at their old Whig
Head Quarters, that the “ latch string of their door is
always out ” and that we have never yet heard any one
complain of the treatment received unt/tin. We speak
upon this subject from much and most agreeable expe
rience.
The Washington Itail Hoad.
We give place to & communication signed “Southwest
ern Georgia” with pleasure but at the same time beg
‘! leave to differ from the writer in many of his conclu
sions. We may revert to the subject hereafter.
The Election.
The reader will find below very nearly the complete
’ returns of the recent election. Allowing for all iiittau-
I lucies, the majority ol Col. Towns will befioin lOtX) n>
j 1500 votes , while the Whigs will in all probability, have
u majority ni three in the Senate, and two in the House,
j giving them Jive on joint ballot, and securing two l m
I ted States Senators, and the various other odicers to Lh
chosen by the legislature. We regret the defeat ol
lien. Clinch, deeply, sincerely: because he is one oi
| the purest patriots and the most faultless gentlemen in
i die State ; and because he has been delean-u not so
much by the exertions of his polit.cal us (
| die apathy of his friends. The W higs went into the
j canvass without oigumzation. They huu anLxccuuve
vommittee, which, so far as wc know, did nothing
whatever, either to promote organization or unity ol ac
tion Asa party w e were entirely too confident of sue*
ce-s. and relied too much upon the strength of our can
didate, our principles and our position. The only won
der is, that we have not lost every thing, and tliat both
the Legislative and Executive Departments ore not in
the hands of our opponents. Let*us learn wisdom from
past experience.
Oik- consolation is still left. Col. Towns w.th ;
Whig Legislature, can do the State no serious .<4 m ,
though by pursuing a moderate pol.ey ,'aiid co-operatin_
wall the Whigs in carrying ou. the li.iancial reforms
begun by Governor Crawford, he may do a signal sr
vice to the public, and enm reputation for himself—
lYisoiially, he isso much of a gentleman, that we shall
always feel a pleasure in doing him full justice and in be
stowing upon him any praise to which his good deeds
may entitle him.

The Female f’rrllege.
The friends of the Wes!cyan Female College will be
pleased to learn that tfie exercises were resumed last
week, under circumstances p<-culiarly fl ittering. Ip
wards of ninety -undents entered tiie College class* *,
and applications have been made tor between thirty and
forty more. We would not be at all surprised if the
number oftttu lent* tiie current year should reach 150.
There are ulso at present betw en thirty end loity in
the Primary Department, not uu-ln led in the above es
timate. The Institution we are inf. ,m.- I, will contin
ue under the charge of the same able .nd in Jcfatigable
prote9sors, whose labors were so s.gnally succoslui cu
ring th*’ past year. Dr. Ellison, of come, continue* to
bold the position of President; while the Rev. M asrs.
Myers Thomas occupy the same relation toth<* class
es as h. rctofop*. Professor Guttenberger assiste f t y
others, will have charge of the .Musical Departineut—
.\lifw Rog-r* will continue to give instruction in Draw
ing, French, A e , while the increas'd labors will be
shared bv the R v. Mr. Cone and his Lady, both of
whom have been added to the Faculty for the coming
year. They are represented to us as exp rienced teach
'■rs,and as 111 all other respects, eminently worthy of
the confidence and esteem of the public. Too much
credit cannot be given lo thus** having charge of the
College under 11s new organization, as they seem re
solved to render it entirely worthy of the patronage of
the friends of education both 111 and out ol the State.—
Every increase of income is therefore devoted to increas
ing ih<* capacity of the Institution for furnishing a sub
stantial and finished education to those who seek its
advantages To this end, there has not only been an
increase of professors, but a considerable addition has
also been made to the chemical and philosophical appa
ratus —sufficient we understand for present purposes.
Die citizens of Macon and of the State have very many
reasons lor sustaining this Institution ; ns it is evidently
doing much to elevate the standaid of Female Educa
tion, and to diffuse pioper views und sentiments among
the rising gem raration. it will be recollected that du
ring the lute tummonotnnl •*.*rri***, th# want of r
proper chapel was make strikingly apparent. Some of
our correspondents luive already moved upon that sub
jt ct, and n is to be hoped that they will renew and con
tinue their efforts until the object is attained. Another
want we are informed is most seriously felt by the young
ladies. They have no Library, ornt least not a suffi
cient or proper collection of books tor their amusement
and instruction dining their leisure hours. As well
might a Hotel hope to pooper without provisions, as a
College without books.—A proper Li’ rury ought to be,
and can be, procured iu a lew months. Could not the
ladies of .Macon give an impetus to this matter { Could
not a lew hundred dollars easily be raised by private
contribute mis und as much more by a public Fair l The
basis of a fund thus bsing laid, the Churches in the
State and private individuals would at once supply the
deficiency. Upon tins subject, we respectfully iuvite
c nnmunica'.ions from correspondents, mu ting that :x>me
immediate action may be taken upon the matter. In
the mean time we take pleasure 111 commending the
Female College, as at present organized, as one of tiie
best seminaries of learning 111 die South.
Georgia Baptists#
We have been favored by the Rev. J. 11. Campt>ell of
Twiggs county, with a neat volume oi *2BB pages giv
ing a series ol bu graphical sketches of eminent Baptists
111 the State of Georgia, as well as a comprehensive
history of the tise and progress of the denomination in
die State. Mr. Campbell, is well known, as an emi
nent divine, a line scholar, and a graceful writer, and
has really made a most interesting and instructive;
volume—one w inch ought to be read by every Baptist
and every inteidgeut man in the state. Few persons
are a tail aware of the rapid increase ol the dtnomina
j nation. In 1825 we find there were only 10 associations
! 260 churches, 133 preachers, and 18,184 members, nr
I there were 356 chuiches,2oo ministers und 28,208
members. In 1835 there were 22 associations 583
chu.dies 208 ministers and 41,810 meiudcrs. In 1845
there were 46assoc.ations 46-1 ministers D7l churches
and 5-*,368 members. The number of communicants
’ at the prescut time is estimated ut over CO,OOO. Need
we add that a denomination of such numbers, respecta
bility and influence ought to have its history carefully
written and universally read. That Mr. Camp
bell lies pei funned Amt part of this duty with eminent
judgement and taste must be conceded by all. It re
mains to b seen whether his brethren in msownchurch
and 1:1 other denomination w*li appreciate his labors
ami rcwaid his efforts. We eh.'.ll hert iter make .HHiie

Ma, s l .Maps !! Map* ?!
Mr Banks universally known in Georgia, as one ol
the most persevering and successful Map Agents, hfs
arrived in ou; city, and offers for sale a large and beau
tiful selection of Maps, Charts, duv Among them we
( h-i.l the following, which have been submitted to our in
[ spection, v.z:
1. A most splendid Map of the United States and
Mexico, containing the whole of North America up to
the 55th degree of North Latitude, and from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific Ocean, with the States of Mexico,
j Texas, Upper and Lower California, Oregon, British
Provinces, and the West Indies, &c.
This Map show s the new line settled by the Ashbur
ton Treaty; also the line claimed by our Government
in Oregon as well as that finally accepted. Upon it can
easily be traced the line demanded by Mr. Polk in the
recent negotiation with Mexico, as also the principal
positions occupied by the American army. ‘Plus Map
will oi course be eagerly sought alter and promptly pur
chased. In the present relations of the two Govern-
I meats, it must be regarded as a desideratum.
2. An elegant Mip of the World, on Mercator’s
projection. This Map is gotten up by those well known
engravers Sherman & Smith, and is universally ac
, knowledged to be the most accurate of the kind now
offered tor sale, though costing less than half the price
charged lor some ol those previously off red to the public.
3. An accurate Map of the Holy Lund —to which is
added two plans, one of Jerusalem and the other of its
environs. This map is strongly recommended by the
Rev. Dr. Robinson, who has made an extensive tour
and written a minute description of the country and us
principal ojects of interest. It is also recommended by
Drs Cox, Wsyland, Barnes, Spring, Waiuw'right and
many oilier eminent Divines,as a most valuable acquisi
tion for Colleges, dec. as well as lor Clergymen, and
Sabbath School Teachers.
4. The Stream of Tune —or Chart of universal His
tory—shewing tin* progress of nations, their collisions,
combinations, &c , also the dates of the principal events
and of the birth and death of eminent men. it is in
deed, as was remarked by Dr. Priestly “ a map of ail
! history which bungs before the eye at 11 single glan e,
■ the various mutations of the human family, from the
beginning ol the world to the present time.” Asa re
ference it 1* invaluable.
5. The Family and School Monitor —representing

Mr. Oliver Jeter, a practical printer of Mobile, for

a company in Mobile, tu join the Georg.a Baud lion of

3lor.se and House#
The New York correspondent of the Union writes
under date Tuesday —"Last night the Board of Alder
ir.mi voted to allow 1 he erection through die city of nn
additional line of telegraph, to connect with Philadel
phia. It is to b<* constructed under the payment of
Royal E. House; and I understand ‘that, as soon as

Lieut# Col. Isaac <•# Seymour# •
Our readers will be pleased to L am that his Exellen
cy Gov. Crawford has appointed Captain Isaac G. Sey
mour of this city, and late Editor of the Messenger, to
the command of the Infantry Battalion, four companies
of which recently left Columbus for the seat of war.—
A more popular or judicious appointment could not
have been made. Col. Seymour is possessed of many
anvable and compnnionul.le qualities, and yet is gifted
with that peculiar faculty which is so ess* mini to a com
manding officer. lie can enforce the strictest di-eip
line without offending his men or his subordinate offi
cers. He is prompt, manly and punctilious—with a
clear head and a generous heart, and we predict for him*
distinction and honorable preferment in Ins new calling,
lie will carry with him amid the privations of the camp
the toils yf the m.*reh and the dangers ol the battle field
the respect and n gurd oi liio rsunds of his fellow citi
zens of Georgia, whose most earnest prayer will In* that
he may|win laurels worthy ol his distinguished ability ami
that he may receive back at least the reflection of that
honor which they feel confident he will confer upon the
service ami his native State. Col. Seymour does no t
go into the army without some experience, havingfseiv
ed a campaign in the Florida war, and won by his
manly and soldier-like deportment not only the admira
tion of his men, but the especial confidence and regard
of Gen. Scott.
Worthy of Notice.
It isa remarkable fact,says the National Whig, that

COMMUNICATED.
Th‘ Railroad.
a Tew of the public prims have been ardently en .
giged in comm.‘tiding the above ent'rpHz to tL Clll .
zens of Wilkes, Warren, Given, Washington and
H inc ck counties, through, or adjacent to wliich, u*
contemplated work is t<* pass. E liters have been*#,
tamed by conn unifications and speeches t-inanatingfnai
sources of inteiligence and patriotism. Having a co. u .
i°n object to accomplish— • wit, th • buii.fi tg up oar
own seaport—it is with umeigued reg -t that I find uiy.
sell constrained to differ witli gentlemen who sohoavm.
ly zealously se* k the advancement of a paU,c good.
Lint, wild- I accord to the advocates of the woik en
larged intelligence and patriotism, I am compelled to
doubt tiie correctness of their views.
I propose in this paper, to examine th? feasibility cf
tlu* Washington Ran.oad, and to show the extreme fid
lacy of the enterprise.
1 will lay down a couple of propositions which have
ever governed the friends of Railroads in the stinnte
which is made ot the vame of the stv.ck. This cnnsij
cration implies the undertaking oi tlu work.
First, there must be a region of countiy (wherepopj.
ious cu. s arc not to Lc connected) u: great .ig c-huai
power and resources; or there must be great mcor,-
venienc-* of reaching a mark t W ithou* the construe . .’i
o; a Railroad, in order to unite the countiy in support of
the wo;k.
Second, the Railroad is to acquire, by its own pecu
liar fitness ol direction, a liberal share of the public
travel.
I assume that the foregoing proposition#are true, find
that no one, however enthusiastic iu the cause ui i t<
nal lmproveinent, will enter a denial, or question tiieit
comcincs-*#
I wni recur to the first proposition. Is the region of
country sufficient to support the Road, left asit is, to re
ly upon its freights i \v hut are the count;* 3 of such
agricultural strength, as tc authorize the op.uiou mat
the Road will r* c* a * such extensive patronage? l*ri.m
a particular knowledge ot the counties, I am firmly of
the opinion that there aie hut two which will gueihe
Road their undivided support. Hancock, lying central
ly between the Georgia and the Central Road, anJ
Wilkes, ot its terminus, will give tfrecuief freight to ii*
Road. Washington couu'y has no use for Utc Road—
nor has Taliaferro, Green or Warren any, in conse
quence of then proximity to present Raiiioads. lam
constrained to LeLcv thui iii • Wusii .;gtoti naiiu, J
will get only a suiail part ot tin piouuci.ous g .w., .a
the wouutiessurioundingit. Ihe Washington Kaur.aJ
wiii bring to the people no gteat benent o rebel, h:s
the boast ol the citizens ot these counties, that their
commercial advantag-sate supcii. r toaii ether puruol
the btate. Docs the building ot the Washington Rail
road increase tlieir commercial facilities ! Does it open
to them nn Atlaut.c mark t now barred to tli* u > Oot-s
it bung them nearer to the gieat commercial world !
None oi’ these things aie accomplished by the comple
tion of the enteiprize under consideration. On ihe
contrary, they are to build a Raiitoad costing *5 o.im),
and for what ? Why, to get rid ol the Augusta sad
Charleston Markets. The suck m the WasiongtoO
Road has been taken, and *ta constitution gn;.i*.tecd
beyond nil doubt, yet it.- permaneUc> uni Ut.u*) wni be
questioned by persons who aie not sw.iye i ay v, *

Augusta an*. Chai lesion \ None would contend k>i ite
affirmative. But there is another strong leasunwbf
the citizens of these counties should not foolishly uave
uway 4)300,000. It is, that the Savannah niuractilf

between Savannah and Augusta, will give them n*-r.y
