General Taylor at home.
TheN. O Commercial Times leans from the Baton
Rouge Advocate, of the Bth instant, that General Toy
la arrived the” o'l Sunday night previously nt eleven
o'clock It was evidently his intention (prompted hy
that modesty for which he is proverbial) to avoid any
'hujg like show or ostentation upon landing, and to
make his exit from the boat unseen, and repair at once
ft’ his family and home, in the garrison. But the qui
tire and anxiety ol the public mind, even at that late
hour, could not he eluded, and upon his appearance, an
almost incessant cheering burst forth, and the thunder
ing peals of Captain Mennrd'a Artillery in town, end
that in the Arsenal, plainly told to those who were bound
in the “slumbering chains” of Morpheus, that the” Na
tion’s Guest” was truly in their midst.”
“At noon,on the day following, says the Advocate,
hundreds of our fellow-citizens, both from the town and
country—ninny ot them old friends and adquaintancea
of the Geueral—formed in procession, lieuded by the
soul-stir’ tng file and drum, and marched to the residence
oi the G. neral, who made Ins appearance and received
any amount of cheering from the enlliusiactic crowd
D. 1). Avery, Esq , in behalf of the citizens, addressed [
the Genera] in a neat, pertinent und impressive speech,
extending to him the hospitalities and cordial welcome I
of the town and parish, and conveying in tit terms the
high appreciation ond admiration entertained hy the in- |
habitant* for Ins distinguished services in t/,e- battles id
his country.” The address in substance was as follows ‘ ,
(jtnera I have the unexpected, though enviable
privilege, of extending lo you, on behalf of your old !
friends and fellow-citizens of Baton Rouge, a hearty j
welocme home.
“ We come without parade or ostentation, under the
influences ol heartfelt regard and friendship, to greet
your return and welcome you ba'-k to the bosom oi your
family and friends; we come as old friends, to express
anew the respretwe feel for the virtues of your private
life, winch a long residence among us, at various periods
has enabled us to highly appreciate, and to testify the
pride and admiration with which we cherish the
many distinguished services you have rendered our
country. 1 feel, sir, that 1 cannot convey to you in ad- I
equine terms, the pleasure and gratification with which
those who now surround you, once more welcome you !
home Os this, however, be assured, that I but faintly \
reflect their feelings of attachment and respect, in which i
I so largely participate, in tendering to you a thrice
hearty welcome.”
1 he General icsponded with a warmth offeeling and I
expression, which showed a deep acknowledgment for ‘
the attention and honors tendered him. He alluded in
touching terms to the promptitude displnycd by this j
town and parish in sending troops to Ins rescue, at a
time when lie was encompassed hy an overwhelming
force of th- enemy, and expressed Ills gratification ai
lieing once more enabled to mingle in the socii ty of In* !
friends and Mow citizens. The crowd were severally i
introduced to the General by Messrs. Crenshaw ami
Awiy. Ihe interchange of greetings aud salutations,
pre-epted a scene of thrilling eflect. The luunner in i
which the (.eneral saluted the young and rising genera- 1
lion was peculiarly impressive. “All,” said lie, “these
me the wealth of the nation—they come upon the stage
of life as we depart from it.”
The procession being again formed, marched up and j
down the avenue fronting ihe General's residence, ami I
cheered him “three time* three.” Nor was “Old Whi- ■
tey, his favorite and celebrated charger, who was graz
ing in a pastuie hard by, forgotten. Three cheers went
up for OIJ W’liitey.” The procession then returned
to town and dispersed, only for a short l.nte, however ;
Air at night, it being well understood that a torch-light
procession was to luke place, as also, a grand illumina
tion, the procession was again formed, presenting a long
line of torch-lights, transparencies wuli appropriate mot
toes aud devices, banners, &.c., and marched t 0 the
Gcaerei’s re idenoe. Here the usual cheering followed
a id the General, joining in the procession, marched
through the town, to vrew the brilli ini illuminations,and
u. receive the salutations o. the ladies and others, who
w at out in inussee to meet luin.
r i npecMcle presented on that night was really grand.
The weather was temperate, caliu ond clear, and every
° lle “ ,41 ‘ I vie wiiii his neighbor in demonstrations
of love >ud gratitude to the brave old soldier. The ill
uiilin&UoU was on an extensive scale, and if we chose I
to particulate, we might mention several which were
got up in exquisite taste.
After marching through all the principal streets, the ‘
General was conducted to his home, and there bid adieu i
for ihe night, by the citizen*, through an appropriate ad- !
dreos made by his Honor, the Mayor, to which die Gen- !
eral replied in his usual happy vein.
W e learn that the General will depart in a few days f
tor his form, up the river, but will shortly return, and 1
epend the most ot lusspare time with ha family.

L'uit Stat-a and compel them to submit to lower pri

” That it has been demonstrated to this meeting that

upon the maintenance of amicable relations between
this country and the United States, and between the
United State* und other countries; thirdly, upon the ‘
suomission of a numerous and increasing servile pop

the slave States of America. That this exclu*ive,un

Oc *itii Steamer**
The Ocean Steamer which is now at sen sailed from
Liverpool on the I8 inst. In January three vessels leave
j Liverpool viz ;on the Ist, 15th and 29th. In February
two vessels leave, viz ;on the 12th ond 25th. In March
two, viz ;on the 11th and 25th. Alter that time the de,
j partures from both sides of the Atlantic will be weekly
at least for the summer months.
Lieut, ( oh Seymour.
Tilts gentleman after a most perilous voyage in the
steamer i usmon,arrived safely at Vera Cruz, und we
presume ih now at the head of his Batuiuon cn route
for Mexico.
Congress*
But little business was transacted in Congress during
the past week, except the selection of officers and the or
ganization of the Committees.
Mr. Dickinson in the Senate, presented resolutions
in favor of the conquest and acquisition of territory, and
that such teiritory should be udimtted without any re
strictions as to slavery.
In the House, Mr. Vinton, moved for the creation of a
new Committee upon “ Internal Commerce,” which of
course will have cognizance of our Lake and River
trade—a subject of vast importance.
Wouden of the Telegraph*
The Presidents Message, consisting of about 18,000
words, was transmitted by Teh graph from Philadelphia
to Cincinnati and Louisville in the short space of 15
hours. The copy is said to be rcmaikably accurate.
Owing to the dampness of the atmosphere the operations
were somewhat iutnrupied and a part ol the document
had to be retransmitted from Pittsburg Had it been a
a clear night the message would have been sent to Vin
cennes Indiana, a distance ol 000 miles! When will won
ders cease ?
Macon am! Savannah*
We are glad to find that while a portion of the Sa.
vaiinah delegation in MilledgeVMc, are apparently stri
ving to injure the interests of Macon ns much as possi
ble, and to alienate the feelings of our citizens from
those of our seaboard neighbours; the people of Savan
nah proper—her practical , business men are making
most praise-worthy and honorable efforts to strengthen
and multiply the bonds which bind the two cities to
gether.
We refer of course, to the recent demonstrations made
in that City, in regard to the South-Western Rail-Road.
At the meeting of the Stockholders in the Central Com
pany held on Wednesday last, after full discussion, the
following resolutions were agreed to almost unani
mously ;
Resolved, That the President and Directors of this
Company be and they are hereby authorized and direct- 1
ed to subscribe for S2SO,(MX) of stock in the South West
ern Railroad Company, payable in bonds of the Com
pany, bearing seven per cent, interest, semi-annually at
Savannah: Provided, that the sum of $280,000 be first
subscribed, bona fide, by individuals or corporations. 1
Resolved , That this subscription be in lieu and stead 1
of the $250,000 heretofore directed for tiie extension ‘
from to Columbus.
On Friday last, a large and very respectable meeting j !
of the citizens, was held at the Exchange, when the | ’
following resolution m substance, wasagreed to:
Resolved , That the Honorable, the Mayor and Al- j*
dermen of the city of Savannah be, and are hereby re- I 1
quested, whenever individuals shall subscribe the sum ; 1
of $250,000 bona tide to the stock of tiie South West- j
ern Rail-Road Company, to subscribe in behalf of the
city of Savannah, for stock in said company, lo the
amount of $250,000: Provided this subsenption can be
made puyable in stock of the Centrul Rail-Road &,
Banking Company of Georgia at {>ar, and on terms
which by the City Council of Savannah may be deemed \
judicious:
And provided also, that said slock shall not be trails
fered until $500,000 shall huve been subscribed, and one
hall thereof expended on the Road :
And provided also that said South-Western Road
shall connect with the Cential Road at Macon.
With the exception of the concluding proviso, this
action of the jicople of Savannah must excite the ad
miration so every true Georgian, und prove that the .
business men and capitalists of our sister City, can
no tougcr be charged with a want of energy and fore
cast. Aware that the gross blunder made by one of
their Representatives would insure the completion of a
cross line from Macon by w*ay of Milledgevilie and
Sparta to Augusta, they have pursued the only course :
which could have saved their City from partial, if not
1 complete, destruction. Their fate without the South-
Western Road was certain, because they would neces
sarily have lost much of the syuqiathy, the influence and
tt 4 trade of Macon In the premises they have acted
promptly and with an energy worthy of the highest ad- !
miration. Will Macon and the people of the South-
West, respond in a corresponding spirit of liberality l
It they do the road will be made, und will |>our untold
wealth into Central and lower Georgia. Run in con
nection with the fine new Ocean Steamers already in
process of construction for the Savannah and New-
York line, it must forever be th great thoroughfare be
tween the Gulf ciliea and those on the North Atlantic
coast. Savannah has performed her part nobly,let
others go and do likewise
Tennessee hih! Georgia#
It will be aeen by reference to our Legislative prece
ding*, that all the reciprocity measures asked *tr by the
legislature mid people ot Tennessee, have been adopt
ed. Full power and permission have been given both
to the Nnahvdle and lliwassee Companies to pais
tluough the territory of (Georgia, and connect with the
State Road These measures were greatly facilitated
by the presence ot President Van Dyke of the Hiwaasee
Coin piny, aid ol Gen. James A Whitesides a D-le
giilc tioiu the Tenneasee legislature, lien. W’lnte
mi 1* * during his brief stay in Milledgevillc, wu* invited
to n seat in both branches of the Legislature. We wcie
present at the ceremony of hi* presentation to the House
After being introduced by the committee to the House,
Gen. W made th*- following remarks:
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen—
-1 beg permission must respectfully and inoat sincere
ly, to thunk this House tor the distinguished honor of an
mvitution to aM at within it* bur; and lor the very flat
tering manner in w hich that invitation has been given.
It it gratefully received and acknowledg'd as uu act
of courtesy to the Legislature of Tennessee, by whose
authority and direction, 1 come to solicit from you, us
you have already born officially informed by your Ex
ecutive, a favor in behalf of an entcrprtamg portion of
our citisen*. now actively engaged m organising and
arranging, lot the purpose of extending Georgia’s great
line of Rail-Road improvement,to our State capital;
a work winch, when completed, (aud of its accomplish
ment I have no doubt.) will, i trust, yet more closely
unite tbs two States tu bonds of a common feeling, uiui
common interest , and under the guidance ol wise
councils and the favor of Providsnce, do much to pro
mote and to hanmi, the high sad prosperous destiny
which most certainly awaits them.”
The intelligence communicated by Gen. Whitesides
in regard to the feelings and movements of tiie people
of Tennessee, was of the most encouragemg character
The entire population of Middle Tennessee, seem to
be completely arouned upon the subject of tbe construc
tion of the Road from Nashville to Chattanooga. Ex-
Governor Jones, and V. R Btevenson, Esq , are trav
ersing the Bute, and addressing the people publicly
upon the ntbject Already something like a million
and a half of the Htock has been taken,and the utmost
confidence exists among the first men of the State, that
the Road wiil st an early day lie completed This in
telligence had of course great influence upon the Geor
gia Legislature, and doubtless was the principal cause ol
the passage of the Bill f**r the completion of the West
rm sud Atlantic Road to the Tennr-r River.
I Removal ol the Mt at ot Government*
“ It is with feelings of deep regret that we refer to the
proceedings of the Legislature relative loth* r tnoval
j of the Seat of Government to Macon, a measure of the
! most vital importance to the city of Savannah aud Ma
con, to Central and South- Western Georgia, as well ns
jto the interests ol the entire State. We are all well per
-1 suaded that those of our Representatives front the Sea
board who have voted against the removal, have done
; so under a mistaken notion of the wishes of their consti
’ nents, It is our honest conviction, that nineteen twen
tieths of the citizens of this quarter are decidely in fa
vor of the removal ol the Seatol Government to .Macon •
! The ahove paragraph we copy from the Stcaanak
Republican. It clearly indicates that what ever may
have been the course of a portion of the Chatham Del
egation upon the subject referred to the people of Savan
nah and the seaboard generally entertam very different
feelings. We are firmly convinced that to the influ
ence ot Mr. Bartow und his immediate personal friends
i9 to be nttriduted, the defeat of the measure. limat-
I lers not what may have been the motives of these gen
tlemen, the result will brobahly be more disastious to Sa
vannah than to Ma ion. Indeed we regard it as one of
the most unfortunate blows which has ever been strick
en our sister city either by friend or foe That Augusta
and the Georgian Rail Road interests generally should
, have desired tod -feat the removal was natural, because
the failure of the hill will, b.yo.i l all question, {secure
to them, at no very distant day, a railroad cam-
I manic at ion across the State hy way of Milled penile
j and Sparta. Already we hear this enterprise spoken of
,in terms of confidence. The people of Milledgeville
, know that unless the road is completed to that place
before the meeting of the next Legislature the seat of:
government will certainly be removed. The people of!
Augusta know that when the South western road is
finished they must connect with it or be thrown forever j
off the great thoroughfare of travel. These too causes
combined will probably secure a direct crossing of the i
State. Macon will then have a full compensation for
the lorn of the State House, while Savannah by this un- ;
natural union between her representatives und her an
tient enemies willbe lft to suffer evils which it will he
beyond the power even of legislation to remedy.
None will regret this more than the citizens of Ma
con who have for years “without variablenss or the shad
ow of turning “sustained the interests of the seaport of
Georgia They have done so even when it conflicted
with their own interests and we hope they may continue
to do so still however much they may feel discouraged by
recent events in the Legislature. The citizens of Sa
vannah have by their conduct the past we< k, made at
least some atonement for the acts of their representative.
The Theatre*
Mr- Forbes deserves much credit for the efforts which
he has made for the amusement of the friends of the
drama in oar City. The Company now playing here,
tho’ limited in numbers, embraces several accomplished
and talented performers, who notwithstanding the con
tracted ness of the building and the various other incon
veniences encountered, have contributed much to the
entertainment of ull who huve favored them with their
attendance.
Miss Ellis and Mr. Crisp, have won reputation both
in England and the North—the former by the force of
her sound, discriminating judgement, cultivated taste,
nnd lady-like deportment—the latter hy his ripe schol
arship, his varied attainments and unequalled power to
please. The other members of ‘he company, or at least
a majority of them,are vastly superior to that class of
their profession usually met with on our Southern
boards. They appear to have not only more experience,
but more general intelligence and sprightliness; and we
have no doubt that with a slight reinforcement in num
bers, and with a building of requsite dimensions and
properly appointed equipments, they would really give
j most creditable nnd interesting performances. The
Theatre will be kept open during the present week, and
we need scarcely add that the performances will be of u
highly interesting character.
Miss Ellis’ Itencfit*
We confidently anticipate an overwhelming audience
at the Theatre this evening. Miss Ellis has labored
most earnestly and successfully for the entertainment of
those who have been present during her engagement, i
nud tli ref ore deserves die compliment of a full house. I
The plays chosen for the occasion are well cast, and
admirably adapted to her style, and manner, and she
will be well sustained by Mr. Crisp and the other mem
here of the Company. In addition to the plays select- j
ed for the occasion, Miss Ellis will pronounce an origin- j
al Address, in honor of our Mexican victories, with a 1
monody on the death of Colonels Butler and Mclntosh.
As Miss E. is a poetess of fine taste, the play-going
community may confidently anticipate a most agreeable I
entertainment.
Negro vs. English Slavery.
The National Intelligencer contains a letter from j
the “ European Correspondent” of that journal, in
which the writer, an Englishman .speaks of the situa-I
lion ofoursloreuas superior in all respects to that of'thc I
paupers ot England. We append an extract from the
letter:
“ England will have paupers enough ot her own to
maintain during the approaching winter Pauperism I
is indeed the blistering plague in England’s social con
dition ; the weight which depresses her, and an evil ■
which, probably, no other European country could long
contend against How long she can sustain herself un ;
der its operation remains to be seen. That it is an in j
creasing evil no one can doubt; what and where is 1
the maximum point, beyond which the social edifice
cannot bear it to advance, is an unsolved problem, in
what is called the “science” of political economy.—
That poverty and want have a debasing effect upon the
character .cannot be doubted by any one who will take
a morning's ramble tn London or its neighborhood ;
nay, not Loudon only, but almost any where in Eng
land. The expressions of the wo-begone coutenancen
of the beggars forbtead, who wil pain his every sense
by their importunities, will convince hmithat want isnot
the only degradation which they are subjected to. But
how can a human being be conscious of the posses
sion of a mind, or have the capability of exercising any
of the higher feelings and faculties of his race, whose
entire thoughst and exertion are appropriatedto theco/-
lection of enough to cat,* > ns to prolong his animal
existence l Tell me not of slavery or of any other con
dition of mankind whatever, w here the daily wants of j
the body, however coarsely, are sufficiently supplied. j
We must measure suffering and degradation by !
the standard of those who have to bear them, and not *
i by the ascription to them of what we should feel in the !
same position,; and estimated in this mode, the suffer
ing and degradation of the white beggar of England
are many times greater than those of the black sluve of
the United States It may be replied that the English
beggar lias hope, the slave, bus none, but this is not ’he
fact: the slave's condition isalwuys made better by
gt*>d conduct, and freedom is not unfrequently the re
ward of those who prove themselves deserving ol it, and ;
qualified to use that freedom to their own udvat luge
But wi?t hope can come to the pauper on the high
way or in the workhouse f What glimmering of ra
tional expet to lion ha* lie that hi* own condition or that
ol hi* children will be improved ; and what means doe*
he possess of fitting hi* offepring* fora more elevated

Where there is not u voice of suffering written legibly,
there is a strong low dt grading passion ; then* is an an
| final blank where there ought to be a human intelli
gence ; there is sordid care w here there should be ease
and cheerfulness ; und a roughness of demeanor and

Both of these works belong to a class for which we

ferently punted and buiiiy bound ; and us a general rule
would have cost less n published at home. We are glad
therefore that Mr. Kell > lia begun tins commendable
reform and ore most happy to learn from him that thedif-
erence in price is an item so insignificant as to far out
weigh the iuconveuienc’ and expense of supervising the
publication at a more distant point, it is to be hoped that
his example maybe followed by others who contem
plate appearing before th southern people in the charac
ter of authors. The imprint of a Foreign publication office
** ms to have tiitin .to b in bsoluteiy ucct saury tog ve
respectability to a work and entitle it to thepotronage of
the public. Bucii Mioukl not be the case at the present
time w hen the ;suuili is making such rapid pi ogiess in ev
ery branch of niecnanicai improvement,and especially in
this puuicdiar depui tin. nt. Some discrimination ought
to be made in favor of home industry and home enter
prise, and it is really matter ot congratulation that the
Repoi ter, of the Supreni Court in giving to the people
ol the State a standard w ork, has resolved that it shall,
as far as prartible, le exclusively Georgian —the united j
product of Georgia heads nnd Georgia hands.
Oi the intrinsic merits of these volumes, it isscarcely
necessary for us t. speak Law yers, who are the only
purchasers of such works, are generally pretty severe
critics and prefer to judge lor themselves. We think
how ever that we will be fully sustained in the opinion,
that the literary and professional merit of the second
volume is decidedly superior to that of the first. Asa
geueial thing, the points are more clearly and succinctly
slated, the authorities more methodically classified and
the decission-f arc briefer, clearer, less pretending and
more conclusive. In the first volume, we notice one or
two opinions which are antiprofessional in their style,
and which bear more resemblance to an anniversary
harangue upon Independance Day than to the grave
emulations from a court w hich is decidedly popular and
respected lor the high moral ami mental character of its
Judges. In the second volume, arc found none ol these
“flights of fancy,” but every deciasion bears the impress
of business talent, and of laborious investigation. The
opinions are brief, logical an i comprehensive, such as
legal gentlemen of acquirement and ability can appre
ciate.
‘1 hese Reports are for sale ot Mr. Boardman’s, anti
we trust that they will be purchased by every member
of the profession, especially as the State Sn its parsimony,
has imposed such restrictions and requirements upon
the Reporter as to deprive him the slight profits which
he would otherwise have realized from the publication. {
The court and its officers have lx come deservedly pop-1
ulur, and the members ot the profession are bound, by
every consideration of interest, to sustain the one and aid
the other.
Stevens’ History of Georgia*
The first volume of this long expected work has been
placed upon our table by Win. C. Richards Esq., who i
is entrusted with the sale of the volume. We have j
not had time, or opportunity, to critically examine the I
Book but from the tew- chapters, which we have read,
we are disposed to think that it will answer the high ex
pectations of tiie public. The author, though not a ,
gentleman of distinguished ability, is an easy, graceful
nnd correct writ’ r, and has bad ample tune and abund
ant material from which to compile a most interesting
and instructive narrative. The volume before us con
tains three books viz :
I. Ante-colonial History.
11. Georgia under the Trustees
111. Georgia under Royal Government.
Book first contains four chapters viz :
Ist. Early English, French and Spanish voyages to
Georgia.
2d. Travels and discoveries of DeSotto.
3d. French and Spanish settlements uud discoveries.
4th. Aborigines in Georgia.
Book second contains ten chapters viz :
Ist. The Colonization of Georgia.
2d. The {Settlement of Georgia.
3d. Progress of Colonization.
4th. Oglethorpe’s description of the Fortifications at
Frederica—Attack on at. Augustine.
sth. Spanish Invasion of Georgia.
6ih. Sketch of Oglethorpe alter leaving Georgia.
7th. Political Institutions of Georgia.
Bth. Review ot the Trustees’ policy.
9th Origin of Slave labour in Georgia.
10th. Religious History of the colony.
Book third contains three chapters viz:
Ist. Settlement of Liberty county.
2d. Administration of Governor Reynolds.
3d Administration of Gov nor Ellis.
The volume has also a “ list of the Trustees, w’lth
notices oi the same,” and a ropy of the Charter of the !
Colony The second volume of the work is in press,
and will appear at an early Jay.
We regret that Dr Nt tens Iw- had this work print- 1
ed in New York, and still more tint it abounds in typo- \
graphical errors. In the vety commencement of the j
volume is to be found a long list of errata, which are j
said to he attributable to cnrele■- in transcribing the
original manuscript. Had the Book been printed in
Georgia, the proof shed- aid lnw been submitted to
ihe p> tKotial inspection of the author, and the value of
the wotk would not thus have been unpaired
The volume now offered for sale, contain* an en
graved likeness of Oglethorpe and several other illus
trations, calculated to give it interest with the general
reader, to whom it is respectfully commended, us the
only History of tin* State worthy of a peru<*ol
It may lie had at Mr. Boardmnn’s.
CABINET REDOUTS.
The great length of the several Reports accompany
ing the President* Message, renders it impossible for us
to give them entire Our render* must therefore rest
satisfied with a brief summary of their contents:
The Treasury Depart mint.— Mr. Walker reports
the receipts of the tiscul year, ending July Ist., at 93J,-
083,177, which added to the the Treasu
ry, Oiakes the total in ‘ ns, $61,15:1,LM. The expendi
tures during the same time were $jJ,151,177, leaving a
lulu tire on the Ut of Juiy Inst, of if l ,701,*231
The estimated receipt* for the year ending July, Ist
181*.are, $-11 ,l*j,lfc*l. winch added to the amount In
the Treasury, as before, mak* * the total nv un*, #1 *2,-
896,313. The estimated expenditure* lor the Name |>e
nod are, $38,613,660, leaving a deficit of 913,7*29,111,
which together w ith the $3,000 tKH) required, from pru
dential considerations, to remain m the Treasury will
leave the sum of $1*<,7*29,114 to Ik- provided for by loan.
The miniated deficit fortlo >eur, ending July Ist, 1949,
is set down at 9H6,'J74Aft3!
In order to meet thisulnrniin :i 1 ticiency, Mr. Walk
er cat neatly recommend* Uoiig;. ■ * to levy a tax of *23
percent upon Tea and t ffer. ife also recommends, a
reduction of the price of public lands, und that the pres
ent prohibitory duties shall be tukeii from rice, sugar
cotton, boot* and shoes, lenther, nails, c >Uon gtols
(such a* are made i:i the United Btales,) and a varsty
of other sitkk*’, smountiiig altogether to settle xty in
number.
He further mention*, thm if the dmies contemplated
i upon tea und cl fee are not levied, then it will be lie*
( s?ary to authorise the negotiation of a loan o! $lB,-
5 H),000 and it the war continues to the Ist of July 1849,
[ then an additional loan of $20,503,000 wiii be neces
sary.
f The national debt on the Ist of the present month
was, $45,653,659. It to tins be added the above loans,
loans, we have a total debt of $84,659,659.
A rigid system of contributions, it is thought may re
■ duce these liabilities to some extent; but from the very
urgent tone of the report we infer, that when the final
1 reckoning lias been made, the public debt will be found
lat greater than Mr. Walker, would have the country
suppose.
The Report speaks in glowing terms of the Sub-Treas
| ury, but there are no special illustrations given of the
practical operations of the system.
The imports of specie for the yeur were
and the exports only 81,840,1 IV). This Mr. Walker
thinks has saved the country from the effects of the mon
etary revulsion which has shaken the old world !
(>i the Tariff*of 1846, the Secretary is eloquently lau
datory. The Wnre-lluuseing system has worked well
! and upon the whole, Mr. Walker seems clearly of the
opinion, that a debt of an hundred millions is alter all,
an insignificant item, us the country has already since
ns national existence, paid a much larger amount wtth
j out serious inconvenience
The Maw Department.— The Report of Mr. Ma
son is confined principally to a narrative of the naval
operations ol the year, and to the changes which have
taken place in the service. The operations in the Gulf
u< spoken of in terms of commendation.
‘1 he total expenditures for the year are not given :
‘out from a comparative statement of a portion of the
expenses for the years 1845, IS 16 and 1847, we are in
clined to the belief, that a commendable economy in
this branch of the sendee has been observed.
1 he estimates for the ensuing year are, $10,365,8*2,
which include .an item of $1,200,000 to complete the
tour War Steamers, ordered by Congress.
Daring the year, 15 vessels, steamers,store-ships, See.
have b* n purchased lor the sum of $345,175, ns trans
ports for the Gulf service.
The contracts lor the construction of Ocean Mail
Steamers have Ireen perfected, and the vessels are in
progress of construction.
1 he Secretary in conclusion, is careful to remark,
that Ins estimates have been cautiously revised, and that
lie asks for nothing that is not atmolutely necessary.
The War Department —Mr. Marcy is certainly
entitled to the credit of having produced the longest re
port which lias ever emanated from any of the depart
ments. lie says, the total force of the Army i543,536,
viz: 21,503 regulars, and 22,027 volunteers. This is
the estimate tor full ranks; but to Jill these , he recom
mends the enlistment ol 7,381 regulars, and of 12,500
volunteers, to serve during the war ; so we infer, that
that the actual force is *23,655 instead of 43,536, as above
stated, ‘fins is üboul as near as Mr. Kitehie came in
his estimate oftlie force with which Gen. Scott march
ed upon the City of Mexico.
The existing force consists of 23 Regiments, 7 Battal
ions, and 33 Companies not yet organized into Regi
imeiits or Battalion*. The Secretary asks for Ten
more Regiments of Regulars and 20,000 Volunteers.
He furtner recommends, the formation of a retired
list, the granting of pensions to the widows of those who
have died ol disease in active service, and also, such a
modification of existing pension laws, as will place reg
ulars and volunteers on the same footing.
Accompanying the Report is the report of the Adju
taul General, and the detailed despatches relating to
ihe several battles since Buena Vista, inclusive.
Tut Post Office Department. —Mr. Johnson is
much more successful iu making out reports than in la
cihtating the Mails. If we UVe to believe his story, the
pecuniary affairs of his Department, are in a prosperous
condition. The receipts for the year are $3,344,393, and
the expenditures $3,337,540, leaving a deficit of only
$33,677. The estimates for the next year, show a sur
plus of receipts of $213,351. The revenues of the De
partment the last year, under the cheap postage system,
show an increase of 13 per cent., and the Postmaster
General, though once deadly hostile to the new law, is
now one of its loudest eulogists. We trust that he
may hereafter, turn his attention somewhat towards the
accommodation of the people, as well as to the mere
saving of money. They have suffered long, and wait
ed patiently for Mr. Johnson’s promised Post Office re
forms, and we now trust, that they may appeal to Con
gress, to enforce those regulations, which are essential to
the public convenience.
New-York mid Savannah Steamers.
W e are pleased to learn, from the Savannah papers,
that the Stockholders in the New-York and Suvunnah
Steam Navigation Company, have resolved to com
mence forthwith, the construction of two magnifi
cent Steamers to ply between those ports.
“ They will be 210 feet long, 35 feet wide, and 22 feet
deep. The tonnage will be over 1200 tons, and they
will cost $170,000 each.”
“ TKe Northerner is 200 feet long, 33 feet wide, and
and 531 feet deep, and her tonnage a little more than
1000 tons.”
I he Savannah*Boats will therefore have less draught
of water, and yet be of greater tonnage than the
Charleston lioat* They are to be completed by the Ist
of September next,”
The establishment of this Ocean line, and the com
pletion of the South-Western Rail-Road, wilt revolu
tionize the trade and travel of the whole South. The
time between Savannah and New-York, will be nearly
the same as between Charleston and New-York, w'hilst
the distance between Savannah and New-Orleans will
be 680 miles against 812 from Charleston via. Augusta,
Atlanta. Montgomery and Pensacola, or Mobile. The
time, even admitting the completion of the Atlanta and
W est Point Road, and that between Montgomery and
Pensacola, will be one third less by the Savannah route,
and the expense about in the same proportion. The
able Engineer who has recently surveyed the South-
Western Roud.states that, when it is comp l eted from
Uncoil to Pensacola, and when the proper steamers are
placed upon the Gull, and the Atlantic, the distance be
tween New-Y’ork and New-Orleans on this route, will
be 1500 miles, fare ssl, and time 10-4 hours, or about
one hull the time at present required to make the trip,
which is eight days ! Here is an enterprize worthy of
the consideration of business men and capitalists—one
which will be carried through, if the people of Georgia
understand and consult their true interests.

“We yesterday saw a Twenty Dollar Not fl
Bank of Charleston, which was received by on 1
citizens as genuine, but which was refused ai the J
Bank as a counterfeit. It appears that the Bwlihl
Charleston has issued no hills engraved like th- cdm
terfeit in question, wfech has at its head an c;
of a hill with a railroad track near by, on ducal
a locomotive. It is worthy of remark, ix>o. iha:u*vl
