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.

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 ing in importance.

Superadded to tiles, aicaas of foreign intercourse, a Company is • now organized I and consti ue ting sea-steamers to add lo the | facilities of commerce witli the Isluud ol Cuba, the preservation of intimate relations with, which is daily increasing in policy and impor tance. Your Committee have deemed these state ments not irrelevant, but intimately runnect ed with the subject they have had under con sideration. In seeking a market by railway j which involve# so much expenditure, it is im portant to si.ow that the route is admirably se-’ lected in toe communications it will effect lor Knoxville, and most of u!l, that tiie ports on the Atlantic are willing and prepared tu per form their part of tin compact in the general enterprise.

Your Committee cannot do more jus tice to this division of their report. than to echo the opinion of an experienced and educa ted mineralogist, who lias not lmd time to embark in the fields of exploration and exam ination, but who states that lie lias, in a lew 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 tic, produce, will be found to have been the most steady, the most remunerating, and least subject to those extraordinary fluctuations and vibrations which characterize unit ol N. Orleans—the only reservoir of those iiiimh i.m: Hoods of produce, winch are annually borne on the Mississippi to its Levee. —Like that iivcr, it is subject to inundations; hut unlike tnut modern Nile, it leaves no fruitful eviden ces iii deposit, i’roduc/ions too often do not pay the expenses of transportation. Your Committee regri t that they have no docu merits on liainl on vv.ri ‘h to i salute a com parison of markets 10, u sii'icsof years by winch lliey could arrive ul conclusions mure certain than those with which they ate now • impresci and. A publication i.i one ol our pa pers gives us a comparative exhibit of ruin g prices between New Orleans and Charleston, in September: Charleston I New Orleans.

At the wimc rate, a ton oi’ qoods might be transported from Knoxville to Charleston at < > per ton, or about Hi cent* per UHJ lbs. Your Committee do not present this itatement to encourage the idea that our Southern Kttilronds could be worked profitably at tiiese low rates, nor do they believe tiie community would desire less than remunerating pi tees ibr services perlbnn ed ; but they are utiered m illustration of the 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. The Hrowne Corn. At a recent meeting of the N. York Farm ers’ Club. Or. Field exhibited some speci mens ofCom, very extraordinary.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
