JOUR-V\l. & MESSENGF.R. S. T. CHAPMAN A S, HONK, Editor*. 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. Eugiaad and the I'nited States.

Alter a long and denunciatory speech Mr. Thon.o- I son concluded by moving : ” That it has been demonstrated to this meeting that India, a vast llritisli posaeaeion, peopled by millions of Caceable. intelligent and civilian!

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.

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.

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.
