Our people, apread otrer an eatem of ceontry, in which there ealati every variety of aoil and climate, have a community of iniereit which, if proper* ly retarded, and made V» centre upon the welfare of the inaaa, will advance them iu acience, wealth and eecial prosperity. Our people are not only Agriculturists, ami mar chants, but many are diverting their attention to inanu. facturea. We titua witneaa agriculture.conimerre, and manufacture* proceeding, hand iu hand, to make ua n community great and happy. That Georgia ia rapidly reaching that commercial grandeur and independence which her local position, aa the key atone of the long arch of the maritime atatea ol'our Union, aided by enlightened legislation, tnuat ere long confer upon her, no citizen with the prophetic eye of a stateaman can he nncomciou* of. U will be our aludy tlmm^U the column* of the Qsorytss not only to apread hefoie tlio reader the lateil foreign and domestic intelligence, not only to inform \htm tfnuational and elate |*olitie#, hullo convince him V (hat the first duty of the cilucn, concurrent with the welfare of hta immediate family, ia tocuhivate an abid ing attachment to the instltutimisnf Id* native State and encourage that spirit, which will eventually make Geor gia assume that rank ns an independent state of this confederacy, which her noble advantages, Undeveloped by the patriotism and enterprise ofhvr sons, cannot fail to secure to her. As auxiliary to the general prosperity of our bclov' ed State wo would cherish u reciprocal feeling be tween the citizens of every section uf our State, and •rek by facts to convince every native and adopted ■on of Georgia, that no Statu iu the Union contains more elements of social happiness,—>110110 a more fa vorable position to be independent, aa the should, of those who seek (aud in some measure with success) of making her tributary to tltcir prosperity To effect this, the Georgian will refer, on proper oc- caslons, to her owu Savannah, the uucient city of the State, and invite the notice of the citizen of the interior to her improvement, which from her commanding situ ation, has been gradually onwarJ, uml in recent years astonishing. Exporting from her wharves near sixteen milliont in value of the sUpic* of tho State, she is yet but little knowu to a large portion of the Agriculturists of Georgia; and the tiiorchanu of die interior, in many instances, pas* her tu swell the profits of the Northern capitalist, and thus compel die purchaser within our limit* to pay twenty pur rout to our Northern brethren for thote manufacture* which could be furnished by our owncidzens. Shall Georgians submit longer to this onerous tax upon tlioir industry? The puiriotic re sponse will be au emphatic—No i Ont million, two hundred thousand dollars, are thus paid ■a a tax by the consumers ofGcorgiu, and not one year only, but every year. It requires little reflection to peiceive how our pockets have contributed to amass die wealth of the money kings of dm North, how tlieir cities have become splcudid, and their public works magnificent • New York, the great city of a great Stuto, export* ^Ut four million* muro than Savannah, while her im portation* exceetl those of Savannah nearly $108,000,- 000, Thu proflu on di0i<e vast importations, beyond the consumption of New York, would accrue to die con sumers of die articles, if Uioy were their own import •rs. If we look at the shipping owned hi Savannnh.) which exceeds dint owned by die inurchmits of any Adamic port South of die Chesapeake) and employed by her merchants, a moment's lellert'ion will convince our rea ders in the interior that tin* enterprising merchant* of this city are able with their own vessels to transport a large portion ofllio exporting trado of Georgia, and the numerous ships an.l other square rigged vessels, which during die business se.ni.iii crowd her wharves, in pur suit of freights fur Europe,would assist in bringing buck to her shores the rich return curgou* tleiuntided by die wants of our population. We would desire too to direct die attention of our fellow citizens in die interior to die rapid advancement of their Seaport within the last right years. In I8JU the population of the city, exclusive of the snunty of Chatham, was 7770. In lb38 it had hr creased to 19, 739, being uu addition of more than sixty per cent, (exclusive uf a transient population finm November to March of about 3000 more,) and in the three years ending in August Inst upwards of 100 build* inga(many of diem brick) of various sizes have Icon erected indie city and suburbs, (sever.il of them iin posing fire proof ware houses, capable of smring large quantities of cottuu.) while since that period many sub stantial edllh u» have Lccii ruined. One thousand feet of new wharves have also been recently reclaimed from the river for dm us-* of the city, and eighteen steam, rice and saw mills,have lo-en erected within dio past ten years in die pity und its immediate vicinity—five of litem having been raised within die last tw(\ year*, 'flic value of hdr real estate yftt thus materially improved, us evmced by the high rents and the still increasing demand for houses, sensi bly augmenting the ordinary sources of the city’s reve nue. If we turn to dm river anil enter into detail 1 we see twenty-two steamboats, belonging to this pors widi an aggregate tonnage of 3704 31-93, and engines of 1091 horses power, besides many plying 1111 our wn- ter* and trading here which hull from other plates, us ‘ Charleston and Darien.

Its author is an impurtinl observer, and ono who has unfolded the leaves of thu bonk of tho world, which few men study us much as they should The scene commences at Oaxara, iu Mexico, and is earned to tho Convent at Mount Benedict, in Charles town, describing its con>lngralion,by a bund of incar. note demons, nnd is continued to tho "Hotel Dieu," in Montrcul. A description is given of the civil war in Mexico, during thu times of Iturbidk, GucnRERA, Pedraza, and Santa Ana. A young American, under the nnmu of Lamar, is ono of the heroes; and Carrera, a chief of tlio Eseoccs, is a very striking character—u true Mexican. The author, in his introduction, mnkes theso just remarks uu tliu illiherality nnd fanaticism of the times! und their inconsistency with genuine liberty: " We maintain the sacred right of opinion in matters purely political, and crush its Jndulgenco under the iron dominution of party; wo proclaim freedom of religious observances, nnd rack and fire 11 convent, even in sight of the cradle of liberty; wo boast of the capability of mnn for self government— we assert the supremacy of the laws, nnd yet the most populous cities of tho Union are frequently at thn mercy of u riotous populace.
