WEDNESDAY. MAY 5S, 1839. PROSPECTUS OF THE WEEKLY GEOR GIAN. That a mutual dependence exist* between the upper eqd lower portion* of Georgia, between the citizen of the mountains and of tlic* counties bordering on the distant Chattahoochee, and him whose lot is ca*t in the principal Seaport of the State, where the rich products - of Georgia seek an outlet to the ocean, no patriotic citizen of the youngest of the old thirteen con. for a mo menu doubt. Our people, spread over an extent of country, in which there exists every variety of soil and climate, hate a community of interest which, irproper ly regarded, and made tn centre upon the welfare of the mass, will advance thorn in science, wealth and social prosperity. Our people are not only Agriculturists, and mcr. , chants, but many are divenhig their attention to tnanu- fanture*. We thus witness agriculture,commerce, uml manufactures proceeding, hand in hand, to make us n community grestond happy. That Georgia is rapidly reaching that commercial grandeur and independence which her local position, ** the keystone of the long nrclt of the maritime states four Union, aided by enlightened legislation, must eta long confer upon her, no citizen with the prophetic eye of astatssman can be unconscious of. It ..will be pur study through the columns of the Georgian not only to spread befotelite render the latest foreign and domestic intelligence, not only to inform him on national and state politics, but to convince him {hat the first duty of the citizen, concurrent with the welfare oThis immediate family, is toouUSvnte on aimi ng attachment to the institutions of his native State and encourage that spirit, which will eventually make Geor. gia assume that rank as an independent stnte of this confederacy, which Iter noble advantage*, if developed by the patriotism and enterprise of her sons, cannot fail to secure loiter. .As auxiliary to the general prosperity of our belov ed State we would cherish a reciprocal feeling be- veetf»\e citizens of every section of our State, and seekTj/^kcts to convince every native and adopted aon of cfeorgia, that no Stnte in the Union contait s more elements of social happiness,—none a more fa vorable position to be independent, ns she should. o!‘ those who seek (and in some measure with success) of making iter tributary to their prosperity. To effect this, the Georgian will refer, on proper oc- casions, to her own Savannoh, the ancient 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 onward, and in recent years astonishing. Exporting from Iter wharves near sixteen millions in value of the staples of the State, she is yet • but little known to a large portion of the Agriculturists of Georgia j and ^he merchants of the interior, ill many instances, pass her to swell the profits of die Northern capitalist, and thus compel the purchaser within our limits to pay twenty per cent to our Northern brethren for those manufactures which could be furnished by our own citizens. Shall Georgians submit longer to this onerous tax upon their industry? The patriotic re sponse will be an emphatic—No ! One million, two hundred thousand dollars, are thus paid as a tax by the consumers of Georgia, and not one year \ajtly, but every year. It requires little reflection to petceive how our pockets have contributed to amass the wealth of the money kings of the North, how their cities have becetnc splendid, and their public works magnificent. New York, die great city of a great State, exports but four millions more than Savaimuli, while her im portations exceed those of Savannah nearly SlOd.OOi),. 000. The profits on these vast importations, beyond the consumption of New York, would accrue to the con sumers of the articles, if they were their own import. If we look at the shipping owned in Savannah.) which exceeds that owned by the merchants of any Atlantic port South of the Chesapeuke) and employed by her merchants, a moment’s lefluclion will convince our rea ders in the interior that the enterprising merchants nj* this city are able with their own vessels to transport u largo portion of the exporting trade of Georgia, raid the numerous ships and other square rigged vessels, which during the business season crowd her wharves, in pur suit of freights for Europe, would assist in bringing hack to her shores the rich return cargoes demanded by the wants of our pttpululinn. We would desire uto to direct the attention of our fellow citizens in the interior to the rapid advancement of their Seaport within the last eight years. Io 1330 the population of the city, exclusive of the county of Chatham, was 777(1. In 1838 it had in. creased to 12, 738, being an nddilion of more than sixty per rent, (exclusive of a transient population fiom November to Murr.h of about 3000 more.) and in the three years ending in August last upwards of 100 build- - ings (many of them brick) of various si/.o» have been erected in the city mi l suburbs, (several of them im posing fireproof warehouses, capable of storing large quantities of cotton.) while since that period many sub stantinl edifices have been raised. >Gne thousand feet of new wharves lmve also been •recently reclaimed from the river for tlm use ol the city, and eighteen steam, rice and raw mills, have been erected within the past ten years in the city and its immediate vicinity—five of them having been raised within the lnsttwn years. The value nflier real estate has thus materially improved, ns evhiced by theliigli rents and the still increasing demand for house*, sensi bly augmenting the ordinary sources of the city’s revc nue. If we turn to the river and 'enter into detail^ wo see twenty two steamboats, belonging to this port, with nn aggregate tonnage of 3701 51-93, and engines of 1021 horses power, besides many plying on our wa ters and trading here which hail from other places, as Charleston and Darien. We see a!snthlrty-secrn square rigged vessels owned in whole nr in part in Savannah, of which eighteen are ships oJLthe largest class, aver aging more than five hundred tons. We would also point to our Ituil Road, which is now travelled by In- comotive more tbnn sixty miles, and has been graded for 105 miles, nnd under contract for 132 from die city In tins work our city as a corporation, have embarked half a million of dollars, besides extensive private sub- erlplioiM on the part of our citizens. We merely glance at these facts,that our fellow coun trymen of interior Georgia may perceive that the prosperity of Savannah is substantial. In the brief space of a Prospectus, details cxhibitiiignur resources. • and our progress in the scale of cities, must be avoided. We must allude briefly to other subjects. Our columns shall of course be devoted to all mat. ters interesting to the general reader. Agriculture^ (and as connected with it the cultivation of silk,) Liter, atare and the Arts will receive all the attention which a Weekly Miscellany can furnish, while the latest . markets, foreign and domestic, will bo inserted. Onowordnsto our politics. The character of the Georgian we will strive to sustain.

At the suggestion of Mr. Jones, tho motion was withdrawn. Mr. Jones moved an amendment that Marion have one, and Muscogee three representa tives which was accepted by the mover.

Wo uro much behind tho Eng- li*h, howovor, in Yachts, although we are probably tlioir superior in tho art of making row boats. Wo do not, believe, thcro is a singlo Yacht Club in the United States. England and Franco have thoir Fleets uf Yachts. But, the expense is enormous, nnd they ore of little U3o, and are made subservient to the pleasure parties of tho nobility, and monied gentry. As the "Lower Creeks” havo been pioneers in this quarter, we summit the following for their poru- sul. It speaks of tho land vhoro tho "chinkcre’’ are built : mint thin*, derogatory to the judiciary they represent productive ofrtail insubordination, rendering our stnimes n dead letter, and our hulls of justice an arena of personal disputation and privato wrang ling.” We had nn expectation that tlm Incensed* spirit .which stalks so uncontrolled abroad, would "down ntour bidding”—we hnd no hope of retoking the decision and menaces which hod go no forth, nnd yet wo could not be silent, though wo accomplished no other purpose, than relieving the burden of our own besom, we could not be silent. If tho old Ro- mnn law, ns Cicero tells u*, recognized every act of violence committed in a freo Stnte by ono citizen against another as nn act against the repubfi whut shall wo sny in lids age, of those, who, while acting ns the sworn defenders of lnw,nre yot mnking Presentments counter lo State laws, nnd who are meditating violence, nnt merely against a private citizen, or foreign corporation, bnt setting at dofi- unco tho tribunals or justice—the statutes of the State—the sacred lawn of our union, nnd threaten ing to "futton the soil with their best blood, before they yield their claims.” Nover, oh never may these principles ho sustained by a virtuous nnd enlightened community? never may unbridled fury and privato rovengo usurp the place or equity and law? never mny the bench of justice be mnde subservient to nn Inflamed populace, or perverted hy personal onmitie*. "To fatten tho soil with our best blood” is indeed Euthanasia, when our country call* us to the sacrifice, but to ihrd it in warring ngainst tho doctrines of received nnd acknowledged law, and In obstructing Its en forcement, is nut thedunth of a patriot, but of a par- limn, and is a sacrifice, not on tbo niter of freedom, but u victim of self immolation. Wo confess, how ever, tiint we have nnt much fonr that the soli of Liberty county is tn bo fertilized by tho blood of, "Defiance,” whether he represent one nrmnny, and wo could not help, while perusing his article this morning, but think of Philucles, tho Athenian Demagogue, A man whose tongue was sharpened—not his sword.” In thu abon amount U Included t Urge.quantity of materials.

To ptrt nu a Inrgor force nnd push the wo* at tins time, It would bo done at a sacrifice. I hope however to have it completed in the coarse of the coming fall, I expect lo visit tho North during (he sanmer, where I propose to obtain tho necessary castings end machinery for tho gates—ns I think they can bo obtained on much more favourable terms by my personal attention, I can only add that I shall do all In my power to further tho undertaking, tmd promote rt» success, I am gentlemen, very respcetfolly, Your obedient servant, L.

By tho practice of it, one lays in a stock of health, nnd hi* dreams havo moro pith, marrow, and lifo in thorn, thnn nil tho wakingopolo- gins for thought of those who step lazily from grass to gravel nnd from gravel to grass. The " Knickerbocker Club" is tho first ono ofany notoriety In this country, and that hnd its birth in Now York in the year 1811. It suffered a suspen sion daring tho war, and for many years subsequent ly, tho boat which boro its name wus hung up in tho New York Museum, as a model of tho finest race boat over launched in thnt port. Subsequent at tempts to revive the association fell through ? and though many exertions to form now ones were made, yet tho first effort that succeeded In establisliingthe cluhs/m t hob "present footing—viz: building tlioirown boats, wearing a regnlur uniform, and observingrigid navy dicmlino, was mudo in tho year 1030 by tlio owners oftho barge Sondrift.aclub consisting of 100 persons, which could boast of one no Jess distin guished in aquatic and sporting matters tlmn Rob ert L. Stevens, for its president, with Ogden Hoff man. Charles L. Livingston, Robert Em not, John Stevens, und other good men and true for his suc cessors. To thi* club tlio rudder of tho old Knickerbocker wnsbequ allied, with tho archives thereto pertnin- ing? nor was any thing spared by tho members, dur ing the first years of their existonco, to give spirit to its doings. A boat was built by Francis, which was subsequently presented to the Emperor of Russia, nnd which when put into the water at Cowes, when the Kensington touched nt that port on her way to Russia, was pronounced hy tho great yutchcr* con gregated thcro, to bo tho handsomest thing they had seen in British waters. Huudsomo as she was though, she hnd already boon rejected hy those for whom Mr. Francis subsequently bull? theSeadrift, which Inttcr cruft it cost a thousand dollars to put fairly afloat. Many of tho boats that have since beon built by other clubs are exceedingly beautiful—and the stylo in which they are constructed, being formed wholly for racing, has doubtless given tho sport its present popularity? but theSeadrift is the only row boat that ever passed through the "Pot,” at Hurlguto, ut half tide, with a dozen persons in her. To this club is the merit due of first bringing tho noble ^sport of aquatics into public favor. It has 1-iW since retired from every thing liko competition with its younger and more spirited brethren; nnd the discipline ofthe members, who had once half n dozen lieutenants of the navv among their number, to interpret their "rules and orders," hnsprohubly becomo a traditionary thing among them.

That these gentlemen should feel excited, and deeply so, wo do not wonder—it D but thu natural result of the litigation to which they are exposed.

Enginkkr’s Office Savannah Ouk- chkk, and Alatamaha Canal, Mny 6th, 1839, To the President and Directors ofthe 8, O.and A. Canal Company. Gentlemen I have tlio honour to lay before you tho following statement of tlie present condition and prospects oftho work now in progress for tlm improvement of tlio canal. It must bo borno in mind thnt the Cunnl In its original plan consists of five levels—a "sum mit level,” which is elevated about 12 foot ubovo high tide—nnd about seven miles long; from ench ex tramilyuf this summit lovcl a lockage of 4 foot brings us to tlio " second iuveis” these are respectively:— Ono nnd a half milo on the western side oftho sum. nilt and about six miles on the castorn—a lock age of 0 feet brings us tothe“tulo loveh” Tho ono at thu Oguchno end bring about (half a mile, and that at the Suvannnh lining about ono mile and a quarter—making tho whole oxtent of the Canal about 16^ miles. Oftho six Locks, there are three of brick and threo of wood. Those of brick are in a state of good preservation. Those of wood particularly the two noar Suvannnh nro, as I havo before reported to you, in a stale of almost total ruin. The object intended to bo offuctod by the present improvement is to raise tho Savannah tide level, or in other words to extend the second level to the rivor, by raising the banks, and building a lock at the out- lot, of sufficient height, to flow out, nnd render un necessary tho left lock at Stiles' fiold. Tho banka of tlio lido level will require to bo raised nbout seven feet above tho original height. To effect this tho material will bo obtained by widening tho Canal to 120 instead of 54 feet—its present width. The Lock ut thu rivor will bo of tlio following dimen sions.

INCHES. 9 FEET. Extreme length, 189 Extromo width ofbottom, 58 Length between gates, 140 Width in the clear, 30 Height from flnorto top ofenping 19 As l have before stated to you the widtli is unu sual, but wo are nut without examples pf locks of even n greater widtli in this country,and which have been attended with perfect success. A Lock ofthis description will admit vcssols of tho class of tbs brig Madison. Somo apprehonsion was entertained that tho ex cavation of tho pit of the lock would bo attended with much difficulty, from tlio nature of tho marsh soil which is frequently found to bo in u semi fluid statn. Wo havo however, found tlio material, of which tho bottom iscnmposod to bo of a much more favourable character than wo had reason to oxpoct The exeaviition has been effected thus far without tho least difficulty—about 5000 cubic yards havo been removed, and wo have tho grillage laid for a distance of uboul 85/eot. Tho masonry is commenc ed, anil an umount equal to 40,000 bricks laid. The wall, which is 8 foot thick at tlio foundation, is laid und well grouted with water proof cement. Wo find no difficulty in kcoping tho excavation free from water. Tho pump works as well as was ox- peeled, nnd 1* capable of raising 21,000 gallons per hour, a height of 19 foot if required, though not a tytho of tins servico is necessary to keep tho pit clear. We havo tested tho power of tho pump tuid engine in ono instanco when tho spring tido over flowed tho coffee dam, and filled tho axcavution. It was freed with tho loss of only half a duy, so that wo need not bo under any apprehension on account of water. Tho masonry must necessarily progress slowly until we gut the walls commenced ull round, when it can Im pushed at any desirable rate. We havo on hund nearly a siilficiout quantity of materials to any the whole walls up three feet. I seo not the least reason to doubt that tho work may be continued to completion without any serious obstacle. Tho coffee dam is amply strong and tight, and the laying ofthe foundation is not attended with any thing like the difficulty that was experienced at tlio Ogechou tide lock. Of the embankment about 12,000 cubic yards have been dono,for which wc have paid about $1566* —und which is by agreement to bo refunded to tho company by the proprietors of tho (amis over which tlie bunk is made. Repeated offers have beon re- coivod for tho whole of the embankment—but as tlio lock was considered tho most important part of thu undertaking, it was deemed the best policy to push that forward, particularly, as contracts for thu embankment can be made at any time, and there will be no difficulty in having it done as soonas the ock it completed. Tho matorial of which tha embankment 1* com. posed, is of the best quality, being a stiff marsh day, admirably calculated to resist water, A drain will be required to carry off tho water th u would collect between tho canal and tho city This, however will not be attended with muub expense.
