and the Committee.
Charleston, March4s, 1818.
Gentlemen—l have so little tune to see anj converse
w It you, that l hope you will excuse me if I ask you
by note a few questions. I wish to understand the op
eration, die inlluenee, ihe control, your road w ill have,
if built,over trade in your State, as well as beyond it.
To do this, we must look not only to us immediate re
sult.-', bui to those that will grow out of it, be crea
ted, or caused by it. I will therefore ask you to
Si: and >wn answere to my questions and send buck ques
tions and answers.
1 here is one point I would most particularly invite
yjj attention to: Tile trade of the Cumherlan 1 River
sal those counties alllcted by the Turnpike roads
leading into Nashville. The reason for this is, that this
trade stands on a different footing from that of the Ten
nessee river ill this particular, viz : When the Georgia
roads reach Chattanooga, the Tennessee river is, ton
considerable extent, our tributary. It sweeps in a se
micircle of some six or eight hundred miles in and
around your Stale, both ends being, to some extent
leeders at Chattanooga ; but the Cumberland and all
your turnpikes will be new and now wholly unknown
sourctsol business. To me the Cumberland river isa<>
abject of deepest interest, I know too little of it, and
Woutj know more. I heard you say it had a vast produce
and bore on its bosom a great number of steamboats
You spoke once in conversation of what I have thought i
mrch since, and of which I wish to know more, much
more—the ntodeof carrying on its trade, viz: by small ;
and large steamers on a regular and systematic plan.
Pray describe it for me. I see marked on the map
towns high up in Kentucky—how far up is it navigable I
1 fear I shall give yuu trouble, but it may not be a
fruitless trouble, and I am sure you will excuse it.
Yours truly,
F. H ELMORE, ,
V. K Stevenson, Esq , and Committee.
1, What was the population of the State of Tennes- i
see in 1810,1820, 1830, and 1840 ; and what do you es
timate it at now !

and Savannah, to and beyond Nashville ! Pray name
them, and kmc far up they are navigable. 1 willspe

at Nashville or elsewhere !
*• “’ill the construction of this Road to Nashville
bring any other Railroads into existence to extend or

3 There is comparatively but u small portion of the
land in cultivation in the district ol country to be uc
enmodnted by thisßon.l, perhaps not exceeding a tenth
P°rt. Ii proper inducements wore offered, itisnottco
much perhaps to say, that its productions might bein
{ creased to tenfold as large os they now seem to be.
I 10. There arc many reasons why Charleston and
Suvnnnah would he better markets for the Mississippi
Valley thou New Orleans. Mostof the produccofthe
Mississippi Valley reaches New Orleans after the Ist of
June, and is much injured from the heat and damp
ness in the hold of a steamboat. At least one-fourth of
the Tobacco that left home in good order, and of good
quality, has bclore arriving nt New Orleans undergone
what is called a sweat, and not drying from it, spoils, is
crossed, that is, condemned and sells lor one-quarter it
value in a sound state. The Corn, Wheat, und Rye
are alt more or less swelled and softened from damp
nnd heat. Flour,Corn, Meal, Bacon, and Fork all un
dergo great damage, so that the buyer at New Orleans
reiusea to give a price at all to compare with the value
of the same produce on the Atlantic. Ask him why he
offers no more and he will tell you that the voyage to
j New U. leans lias already injured your produce, audits
exposure on the New Orleans wharf ill their humid and
j hot atmosphere lias heated it much, and not dried it,so
dial it is in the worst possible condition for shipment a
I.road, and tiiutiialfof it would spoil on its long vovnge
through the (dull and round the Florida point to Europe
j so that he will only buy it at the price of damaged pro
duce.
The intelligent owner knows this to be true, and as
the market is always fullest at this season, and the
home demand not equal to hall the supply, the holder
thinks it best to take any price, as his produce is under
; heavy expenses and deteriorating eacli day from the ef
lectofclnnatesoihata short time would bring the quality
toa point where the cost of storage, See would leave
him 111 debt for its transportation to New Orleans. Sucli
lias often been the case to our own knowledge. This
state ol the New Orleans market is nrtwt oppressive on
the Northwest of the Valley of the Upper Mississippi
i and Missouri with near ten thousand mile3 of naviga
tion, w hich does not open usually before the middle of
t May or the first of June.
This country is in its infancy, and yet if requires be
tween three and four hundred steamers, varying from
80 to 1200 tons each, to caray its produces to market;
and its produce might be delivered much cheaper and
quicker at Nashville than New Orleans. Cheaper be
cause the small vessels that bring ft down the shallower
! streams to St. Louis cannot afford to go with their light
cargo to New Orleans 1200 miles, and now tranship at
St. Louis ; but ii this railway was timshed they would
tie the proper class to go the short voyage of lour hun
dred and titty miles to Nashville and t'lere tranship,
thus saving seven hundred and fifty miles of travel, and
including detention from transhipment at St. Louis, at
least six days time and much insurance and freight.
These small boats would be the proper kind to receive
the dry goods, &c , purchased in and forwarded by
Charleston and Savannah from New York to the valley
of the upper Mississippi, and having brought the pro
duce, they could afford to carry goods back loir, as they
would have freight both ways.
Vessels leaving Europe generally go in ballast to
New Orleans, there being little importing to that city ;
and to make money they have to charge on the produce
lor the back trip to pay for both ways. Add this to the
higher insurance nnd interest for a longer time out, and
you have the reason why you find the freight at New
York 1 cent, and U per 100 lbs. at New Orleans, at
the same date; and when it is 37 at New York, 87 to
100 at New Orleans, and almost always double as high
at the time freight is most abundant at New Orleans
which is in May and June. If Charleston and Savan
nah had mixed cargoes, there is no reason why irieghts
should not be as low from them to Europe as horn New
Voik.
These are reasons why Flour is worth from one
to three dollars per barrel (varying with the market)
more on the Atlantic than on the Gulf, and the same in
proportion on Corn, Pork, Bacon, Lard,Beef, Tobacco,
and all perishable produce ; and they are reasons why
these products will seek their way to market through
Charleston and Savannah. Yours Truly,
V. K STEVENSON.

The Court ol’ Inquiry.
We have eve.y disposition to look with a tavorable
eye upon the actsoi the present Administration—would
rather find in its conduct deeds to praise than to condemn
—and it would not only be gratilying to our own feel
ings, but we are inclined to think beneficial to the coun
try, ifinthe matters connected with the Mexican, war
less were discoverable which required .apology—lest
that must meet with general censure. With a war
just as was ever waged’by a nation, crowned with deeds
as glorious as ever heroes achieved or admiring millions
applauded, the Administration has contrived to make
the war unpopular . With an overwhelming majority
in Coi rrr* s at the beginning of the war—with a party i ll
opposition, pursuing a course, which if let alone, must in’
evuubly have led to its own dismemberment and anni
hilation—the Administration has nevertheless found
means to destroy its majority and to give this opposition
a preponderating influence in the popular branch of the
National Legislature. With loud protest ations of a de’
termination to persecute the contest untul he had ob
tained “ indemnity for the past and security for the fu*
tarethe suine Administration has been apparently
glad enough to patch up a peace with a feeble govern
ment, iu which all the indemnity is stipulated for the
enemy, and from which there is not the shadow of hop i
for security to ourselves.
Them* results so little to be expected, must have had
an adequate cause—and this cause we cuii only find in
the couise of the President and his advisers. Mr. Polk
is not the mail lor the cnsis, and those by w hom he has
•urrounded himself, too generally partake of lus weak
n as. If from the time this war began, lie had made
use of the means under his control to make it a big and
a slioit one, it he had determined to“ couquei a peace’’
instead o waging his time to lu g one, the whole thing
would before this have been settled. If he had disdain
ed tin* attempt to conciliate tactions ; if lie had not
shifted his course to euit the popular clamor of the hour;
if he had not imagined that war and conquest might
take place on philautropic principles, and made,
from the very stait, a war upon the peo/dr and institu
tions of Mexico, and appealed for his justiticution from
the captious criticisms and noisy condemnation of dem
agogues to the souuJ , common sense, and bold and gen*
en ussyiupahtiesof tlie American people; the war would
have beeu finished with glory to our arms and advan
tage to our interest©—and he, tlie President, would
have been at this day the mot deservedly popular mail
in the Kepubl.c. But the course pursued has been s
very dill rent one from this, and the Administra
tion and the country art* reaping its bitter conse
quences.
Ola piece with the rest of the M great Mexican blun
der,”—lot by that nume we are forced to designate tne
whole series of operations, except the mere lighting,
whicl%lollowed the passage of the Kio Grande—is the
“ Couil of Inquiry” now sitting in Mexico, the detailed
prne ‘edittgs • i winch, so far ** received, were publish
ed til our paper of yesterduy. Fioiii what we can gath
er from these proceedings, and from other sources, the
officers of the nitny ore afflicted with a species of in
sanity which lie had hoped would we confined u> a few
•mall politicians at home, who have been laboring un
der it for the last year. This madness manifests itaeli
in ut lie ting the patient with a singular deiuauMl tha 1
every successful General must be Prrsid nt, or at least
u candidate lor th • Presidency. The prevalence of this
epidemic has U- en most disastrous in its* fleets It cau
ses grave, sage, and bearded men to quarrel like school
girls, as to which is most desriving of approbation , and
like school girls under the combined action of vanity
and jealousy, to alundei, traduce, and undermine each
other. It is this specie# of fantasy that hat made
Wonra change his politics, hrrsk up the friendship of
thirty years, int igoe against his oldest mid Inst
fri nd, perpetrate nu irreparably injury, and with
with Ui juJged malignity, rejoice over the evil he hos
wrought to u matt w ho hiitcrn his protector and bene
factor iinc* h<> cnu'tts] the nrmy. This has made Pillow
puff himself like another Bohadii, huflcHused him to lose
nil the respect which he might have deserved lor un
doubted bravery, and to draw upon himself the ridicule
nnd contempt which follow the exposure of trickery,
falshood and fraud. And General Scott himself is not
altogether free from the mental hallucination with
winch his subordinates are affected, and it is a source
of the deepest j egret to those who admire his splendid
military genius, nnd proj*erly appreciate the real eleva
tion of his character, to witness the many follies into
which a childish ambition and overwtening love of
praise have led him. ‘Io this moral epidemic among
the officers of our army, may be ascribed all their quar
rels and misunderstandings—this is at the foundation of
the charges which have led to the present Court of
Inquiry.
Aware of the true state of the oase, as the head ol
the \\ ar Department must have been, it would seem
dint the worst policy was adopted in giving the order for
a Court of Inquiry.” Such a course could by no p*e
sibility have lessened, it could only have had the effect
to increase, and continue the ill feeling. Such was is
natral, such has been its actual result. If the charges
mude against the general officers of theatniy were of
a serious nature, and made on responsible authority,
they should have been immediately recalled and tried—
nennd all—by a proper court martial. But instead o*
that, when the Commander-in-Chief himself prrfei*
charges against three of his subordinates, and asks for
a court martial, and one ol the subordinates brings
countercharges against him, tire request of the latter
appear* only to be heeded—the leader of the army is
suspended in his command, and kept in a state of par
tial disgtacc in the presence of the enemy which he
has conquered, while a “ Court of Enquiry,” whose de
, liberations nnd conclusions will amount to nothing, are
sitting in front of the foe for no other effective purpose
| llmn lo K‘ ve the Mexicans a knowledge of our discord*
J weakness, bring the officers of the army, upon
whose union and harmony the very existence of our
i force depends, in hostile collision, nnd to promote the
spread of ill feeling and insubordination through every
j division of the troops.
I lie enemy s country and the lime of war, are neithe 1
j place nor time for the performance of a farce like this ’
j so s * arcc il B,however sei iousiy it may have been intend
j ed, and however serious may be its unlocked tor conse
quences. What can be more ridiculous than the dis
play of Gen. Worth in refusing to prosecute the charges
, which he had brought against the Commander-in-Chief.;
Ihe ludicrous so strongly predominates ill the conduct
of the “Hero of Monterey” that we should be tewpfed 1
to laugh, did we not remember, tiiat these charges led
to the suspensionof his superior, and had he not at the
time he withdrew them more than insinuated that by
such suspension he had attained his object. Gen. Scott
himself, did not fail to give point to the jest by refusing
j to proceed against Duncan and Pillow, although in his
case we may find much to excuse. But the riches 1
scene was, ot course, that in which Gen. Pillow figur
ed. This worthy soldier has the faculty of making him
self ridiculous on all occasions, and he did not fail in
i this instance, as our readers are already aware, in dis
playing to the full his peculiar talent. But amusing as
the whole thing may be,it was, we repeat, neither the
time nor the place tor the perpetration of so serious a
joke. Our government is endeavoring to get up a sort
of peace with die enemy : but if they refused simila 1
terms t > those now offered at the moment of overthrow
and despair, when our conquering army was strong*
united, and flushed with victory, will they yield to them
now,when they have recovered from their panic, and
when they have good reason to believe that their coun
try is occupied by an insubordinate army, commanded
by rival and inimical officers ? Such a state of thing 8
in a Mexican army would lead to bloodshed and revo
lution ; is it unreasonable to suppose, that the Mexi
cans will anticipate similar results in ours, and act ac- j
cordingly ? Will this opinion increase our chances of
peace i Or will it not rather tend to prolong the pres- i
ent very undesirable state of dubious hostility, until dis
ease among our troops and increased dissensions among
our officers may induce a commencemEQt of active
warfare with every probability of disaster \
We do not suppose that any thing we may say
be heeded at Washington, inasmuch as the editor ol ‘
the Union has taken a fancy that we belong to “the op- ]
position,” and we have not yet learned to swallow every 1
thing that may be put forth either by the Administration |
or by its opponents, but if we could be heard, we should !
advise the War Department to reca/1 its order for the *
“Court of Inquiry order home the officers implicated
in “charges” on all sides; promptly try then by a
Court Martial, and punish the guilty, while full repara
tion should be made to the innocent for the wrongs they
have suffered. Such a course at the beginning would
have restored quiet to the army, and have received the
full approbation of the country. It wonld have been
a bold and decisive measure—one worthy of the Gov
ernment, and would have done as much good as this
“Court of Inquiry” is likely to do evil.
We have lelt it our duty to make these remarks, be
cause we have some hope that plain speaking may do
good —we are not the acquaintance,friend, or partisan
of any of the public officers connected with this matter.
We wish not to uphold one at the expense of the oth
er. But we blame most of all, the weakness and hesi
tation of the Administration, which has not yet learn
ed to dare to do right and to do that right promptly.

Catholics iu France.
The following manifesto from Count de Mental etn
bert explains the position which the Catholicsof France,
as such, hold toward the new order of things. It is
taken from the Pari* Unirera:
“ In the midst of all revolutions, the Church remains
standing, immortal as truth, liberty and justice. Under
the Republic as under the Monarchy, we must defend,
love and serve religious liberty. We ought we can, and
we will. We have for pledges of it, on the one side,
the unanimous respect wit.i which the victorious peo
ple treat religion ; and on the other, the firm resolution
expressed by the Provincial Government to maintain
the free exercise of all religions. We have besides the
example of the United States ; the French Republic
cannot be lew liberal, less intelligent than the Ameri
| cun one, particularly when the question relates to tanh.
I conscience and family. In this change, so great and so
unexpected, we, Catholics above all, have nothing to
i changei our rights, our duties, our interests remain the
same. The colors which we have planted outside, and
above all political opinions, are intact. We have not
waited until this day to prok-ss the worship of aacred
liberty ; to declare war on all kmdsof oppression and
falsehood ; to proclaim that the Caihol.c cause, such.
sh we have always defended it, was not identified with i
’ any power, any human cause. We feel inclined to]
think that the perseverance with which we have for
eighteen year* preached up this sovereign independence
i of religious interests will nid the French Catholics to
] comprehend and to acceptthu new social pha-e into
winch we enter. Not one of them has a right to abdi
cate. They will therefore descend into the arena, with
all their fellow citizens, to lay claim to all political and
social liberties which are to be henecforward the inalien-
J able patrimony of France They will descend into it,
to fulfil a sacred duty, a national duty, a Christian du
ty. They will place unlimited confidence in the ira
-1 penetrable design.,of God, will show an ardent love for
their country, an imperishable devoted ness to its glory
and its happiness. '’

Withdrawal of llt'ury Clay.
A Telegraphic despatch from Baltimore, Hntioun
cea that the Editors of the Cincinnati Chronicle
have seen n letter from a member of Congress, in
which he says, that at the proper time, aMh. ClaV
wili withdraw his name, from the canvass for the
Presidency. This is just as we anticipated. Mr.
Clay, we believe had fully determined to pursue this
course before his arrival at Washington and probably*
wolud have done so during his sojonrn in that City p
hut was pursuaded by certain Influences to defer this ac
tion. Thai he would consent to run under certain cir
cumstances we have not a doubt, but thn t he could be pre
vailed upon to do so, to the injury of the harmony of the
Whig Party we have never for a moment believed. The
Presidency could not add either to his fame or the af
fection of the people for him, and he has too long bat
tled with the Whig party to endanger its success for a
moment by pressing his claims where they were not
universally recognized. He lias himself eaid that,“hei
would rather lie right than be President'* and it woul
certainly be wrong for him to endanger the success u
the great party which has so long and so closely adlier
**d to him, by pursuing any policy that would tend t
distract its ranks at the present moment.

French Merchant* in New York.
The New lork Courier Enquirer o{ Suturcis
morning ttys : “It is with unfeigned pleasure we stai
that Mree of the leading French houses came forwai
to-day and discounted all their own engagements inai
uring in the course of the month of April. The amour
was large, and the effect of this measure, so creditabl
to the parties, has had the effect of allaying very consi
durably the apprehension naturally engendered by th
difficulty of negotiating Bills on France. In some ca
ses, we hear it stated ,credits on London have bee
opened to some of our French houses, in anticipation o
the difficulty of negotiating upon France, and that ad
vices to this effect were received bv the Caledonia.”
The Duke of Uordeaux.
The lineal heir to the throne of France is the Duke
of Bordeaux, about 27 years of age. An American
gentleman who, a year or two since resided in the Soutl
of France, near the city of Blois, the ancient seat o *’
her Kings, says that at that time the Duke of Bordeaux
was very popular among ail classes; so much so tha
the people had purchased nnd presented to him an an
cient palace in Blois, built by Francis Ist over three
hundred years ago, to which was attached an estate ot
a number of miles in extent. The Duke accepted the
gift and ordered that its revenues should be devoted to
the support of the poor. Incase the final decisions ot
I ranee should be adverse to a Republic,the claims oi
this young man to the throne may be looked ot with
much more favor than those of the decendants of him
who has used the power conferred by the people in en
deavors to enslave them. Strange as it may seem, it is
said that many old Napolcomsts are favoring the Duke
of Bordeaux.— Boston Traveller.
Prospective Population aid Destiuy of the
L ulled States.
The following calculations, made up for Hunt’s
Merchant’s Magazine, have startling and powerful in
’ terest:
In 1310 the United States had a population of 17,-
066,666. Allowing its future incre**** ta b*s nt tiio
rate of 321 per cent, for each succeeding period of 10
years, we shall number in 1940, 303,101,641. past
experience warrants us to expect this increase. In
1790 our number was 3,927,827. Supposing it to have
increased each decade in the ratio 13i per cent, it
would in 1840 have amounted to 16,630,250; being
more than a half a million less than our actual number
as shown by the census. With 300,0dd,00J we should
have less than 150 to the square milt lor our whole ter
territory, and 220 to the squure mile lor our organized
States and territories. England has 800 to the square
mile. It does not then seem probable that our progres.
sive increase will be materially checked within the one
hundred years under consideration.
At the end of that period Canada will probably num
ber at least 20,000,000. If we suppose the p..rtiuii of our
country east and west of the Appalachian chain of
mountains, known as the Atlantic slope, to possess at
that time 40,000,000, or near live times its present uuiu
tliere will be left 260,000,000 for the great central re
gion between the Appalachian and the Rocky .Moun
tains, and between the Gulf of Mexico and Canada,
and for the country west of the Rocky Mountains. Al
lowing the Oregon Territory 10,000,t00, there will be
left 250,000,000 for that portion of the American States
lying in the basins of the Mobile, Mississippi, and St.
Lawrence. If to these we add 90,000,000. lor Canada, we
have 270,000,000 as the probable number that will in
habit the North American valley at the end of one hun
dred years, commencing in 1840. If we suppose ouc
third or 90,0U0,000 ol this number to reside in the coun
try as cultivators und artisans, there will be 180,000,000
left for the towns, enough to people 360 each contain
ing half a million. *1 his does not aeem as incrcdiiabit?
as that the valley ol the Nile, scarcely twelve mile*
broad, should have once, as historians tell us, contained
20,003, cities.
