He assumes the broad principle in theology, that salvation is to be secured through repentance, faith and a confidence in the merits of the Saviour, bu t devotes his work to a discussion of the prac lice, rather than the theory of re igion. Hence his great object is to explain and illustrate the oty o the Christian. Tne series will be completed tn three volumes, the two last of which, will be forthcoming at an early day. for ssle by J.

It is certainly the most valuable contribution, to natural history, in its aphere, that has ever been made by American genius and research, and we commend it with great pleasure to pub lic favor.

Governor Towns thinks that the Georgia, c>«J Macon and Western Railroad Companies are making 38 per cent per annum, by furnish ing Freight Cars for the use of the State Road. This is somewhat singular, if true —for in con nection with this matter it is quite notorious, that th?se Companies have continued this very profitable arrangement with extreme relnc nnco—and in the last annual report of one of them, a pretty formal notice is given to the Legislature, thatthe Company cannot stand this 38 per cent much longer. _ ) The prominent errors in the Governors estimate consist in, . . Ist. Allowing too small a sum for the origi nal outlay. , , . , 3d. Overlooking the well established iacl that Cars will wear out, and require renewals, and 3d. Estimating as a part of the interest upon the original investment, amounts received by the Companies for the cost of repairing extra ordinary damage to Cars. Now, his Eicellency had before him his own Engineer’s estimate of $116,350 for origi nal outlay flow enough in all and the common estimate for renewals (exclusive of the cost of repairing extraordinary damage by accidents, &c.,) on Roads in good condition is 30 per cent; and in the case el ibe notorious ly bad condition in which the Slate Road has been, 25 per cent is believed t® be not too h gh an estimate. A much bet'er idea, then, of the true state of the case would have been given to the Legis lature and the public, by a sta ement somewh it . in i his form ; Cost of outlay far 200Cars*• SI 16,250 Interest on this euiu ouc year ... 7 I)B r e«< * $9,137 50 20 per cent for renewals.. $23,250.00 $31,387.50 Aggregate of Preight Re ceipts as stated in the Re port of Mr. Fulltcn, the Superintendent of Trans L po I,»J One eight of this amount *22 921 45 for the use of cars • $8,466.05 By this estimate it will be seen that $8,466,05 is required belore these Companies would make 7 per cent instead of 38. As lurther evidehoe that this “one eigth” for car mentis not too high, it may be stated that the Sou C rolina Railroad Company positively retusi to furnish Caisfor the Greenville and Charlotte Itoads, at this rate, and are now receiving liom those Companies ont-six'.h. , In their arrangements with the State Road the Companies ate only indemnified by the saving which is effected, of the delays and ex penses of a transhipment at Atlanta, and have always been willing to allow the State the same for the use of their Cara (should they obtain an ou'fit) as they receive. The charges made by the Companies for repairing extraordinary damages, covering the cost of materials and mechanical labor theres .r, have plainly nothing whatever to do with the foregoing estimate. Thesa charges, so much, and so ignoranily co r plained of, are made by the Companies, without taking into account the loss and expense of abstracting from iheir regular business, motive power and Oarsi for the transportation of the “wrecks to their repairing shops at Augusta and Macon j and it is believed that, under the management oi the State, they would net have baen less. The same “hue and cry” was formerly raised against the high charges of the G*org.aßail rord Company for tha repairs of Engines on the State Road. But Mr. lion's Report for Ihe year ending September 30, 1800, (during ten months of which the repairs of Engines were made in the shops of the Georgia It il ro d Company) states the “Motive Power” exjer.ses for that year, at $36,196 Add to jins 44 per cent for increase t busi An! wa have *59 192 Amount of‘M.tfyePowei” expenses per ’ Mr. Fulton's last Report Making a difference of $2^017 in favor of work done by the Company. With the character and condition of the Koad unchanged, similar results might accrue with regard to Cars. The above sta'ements are made with no view to criticism of the Governor’s Message— which contains many valuable suggestions and cornet estimates—but, to place the matter be tore the public in its proper light, and in justice to the Companies which have been (no doubt unintentionally ) misrepresented * Governor Collier’s Message.

The Treasurer’s re port states the matter as follows : Due July 1 at, 1853, at 6 per cent,- - - • $ 10,000 00 Due Jan.

To the above must be added the sum of slb9,- 512 18 for 4200 tons of iron purchased for the State Road by the Engineer, with Executive approbation This claim, will run up the State debt to $2,364,254.40— being nearly one million of dollars larger than stated in the message. We warn the Legislature to look well into these matters before going into any extravagant sys tem of expenditure. The State debt, it is true, falls due at distant periods, and can be easily met. The Central Bank liabilities, however, will have to be provided for at an early day. They fall due as follows: In 1855- 39,000 In ; 34 600 In 37-000 In 48,500 In 1864 74,000 Gov. Towns states that there is in the Treasury; buthealso states that the 870,000, as ordered by the last Legislature, has not been passed to the sinking fund. Had he obeyed the mandates of the law, the Treasury would not only have been empty, but there would have been au actual deficit. We are thus particular in mentioning these facts, in order to call the i attention of the Legislature to the matter, and in order to prevent future embarrassments in the Treasury. There ere politicians and Editors who evidently wish to involve the Stat“ in ex travagant expenditures for various purposes. This is wrong—at least at ihe present. It is evident that the country is on the eve of a pe cuniary crisis. It is impolitic, therefore, to in cur any liabiliiies which arc not absolutely necessary. We warn our public men to bs cautious how they put their hands into the Treasury. The liabilities of the State have been increased nearly three quarters of a million since 1847, and it will never do for the present Legislature to add another million to the amount. —Jour. 4* Mtss.

SUNDAY MORNING I The Cotton Convention. «iM h a - Ban u^ ri [ n ,° f tarans > w ho assembled at Macon, had before them one of rhe most stupendous, ,f not Quixotic, enterprise., Tver conceived, ft was nothing less than to devise • scheme by which the fluctuations in the IvL U rl°d ,h 8 / roat,ta P 1 ° of the South may be •voided, and remunerative prices constantly maintained.

This accumulation of chargeswould induce the manufacturers to take their supplies, befoie the company wou’d be required to take any, nor is it,‘indeed, likely that they would ever be purchasers to a-y large extent. Under such a system, the planter would not crowd the markot with cotton as is now the case, and speculators at the mini mum price would purchase freely and hold with confidence. i his stupendous conception of converting all the Cotton I lanters of the South, into a great I,o r e ’ mll make a “ MMib’e and we liLformed merchants smile.* It is par alleled by nothing in history, save John Law’s « reat banking Scheme, which in the end blew itself and the whole commer c.al and financial wor d to fragments.

As for the bottom lands of the Mississippi and its tributarea, t h ey are said to yield more abundantly than for several years past, and the rapid opening of the crop has pressed o hard upon the physical lorce of the planters that they appear to have jaid less attention to quality than to quantity. Hence the unusual scarcity of clean Cottons; and as lor really fine crops, such as we have been sccustomed to see in former years, few or none have yet appeared in market.

A. Corry, Esq., that on the first of this month, he recaived from the contractor all that portion of the road be tween the point of its intersection with the Western and Atlantic Railroad and the deep cut around Look Out bluff, a distance of near three and a half miles. This speaks well for the progress of the road. A few months sir.ee, the formidable ledges of rock which presented, seemingly, an almost insurmounta ble barrier, did not promise so early acomple tionofthis portion of the road. Both con tractors and engineers have displayed com mendaLle energy in prosecuting the work. We regard the selection of Mr. Corry for Resident Engineer on the Chattanoogadivision, as a most fortunate appointment on the part of the Engineer in Chief, James 11.
