Upon tho second rending of tho resolution n warm

It appear* to sumo, remarkable, that tho City of
Charleston should hnvn discovered thnt inn commer
cial point of view, she has more to gain through llm
oporution of tho Central, Monron nnd Western and
Atlantia Bail Bond* than any other avenue through
Georgia and tlm far West, all this must be obvious
to those ufthe least understanding, who know any
thing of tliRrtituurcei ( Ol'llio Statu of Georgia, nnd
tlm channels through'whicli It must bo gained. In
tho first place, Charleston hat built tlm Hamburg
Rail Baud to Hamburg, much to her credit, anil hy
. h«rInfluence and encouragement caused tho Genre
gin Rail Hoad tu bo carried to Its present point, ut
or near Gtoetisborough, whore in all probability it
Will and, becauso Charleston cannot bo benrlltted
In lbs tliglitestdegroo by its extension further, fur
lhalocntion command* tltopruduco ami trudu of a
watt of North Carolina, ail of South Carolina, and
by the meant of tho Georgia Ball Ruud, the North
Eastern portion of Goorgin. No improvement can
givo her snore than all. Then should it be thought
unreasonable for Charleston to extend her mean*
for tho purpose of securing to herself the trade of
Central Georgia, which cun be easily dune by thu
way of Savannah, through tlio Central, Mom no and
. Western and Atlantic Rail Hoad will extend fifty
miles from Macon, in a direction to Watt Point,
and at that point this road will bring forty Thousand
Bales of Cotton from the mnth eastern part of Ala
bama to Macon, that would otherwise gu to »ome
market on the Gulf. From thence, this road will
unite with the Wcatern nnd Atlantic Hail Rued.
From tbeseend'dthor point# the City of Mucon will
bring together more produce than any other one
place above Savannah, in the State of Georgia. The
navigation of the Ocmulgee is good and 'he day it
not very distant when the produce concentrated at
tbe city of Columbus, and the best Cotton region of
Georgia, (the South West,) will find a shipping point
•I'tbe big bend or theOcmulgee River. Now from
,*11 those n"in-a and through those cbunnols, Savan
nah and Charleston mast receive the produce and
titf* ■od the nearest, cheapest and most convent-
ent route from the'Atlantic to the great West, is
through Savannah, Macon, and thence, through the
Monroe Rail Road. Theao results must come to
piss*—then, can Charleston look upon tho map of
thl# region ofcountry, and cerao to any other con
clusion. The Telegraph Stage line and the Geor
gia Rail Road.aremakinggieut efforts to carry the
New Oi leans traval through Columbus and Greens-
. boiough to Augusta, andendeavor to make the trav
eller beJieye it much thu nearest route, and w ill no
Vfoabtiucced with every one except those that look
<rb Ibc map of the Slate, and think for themselves.
'Tho .travel must eventually settle down on tho
■horteataodcheapest-route#, and the great thore
oughfore through this State will be from New Or
leans to'West Point, by the Monroe and Central
Rati Roads, to Savaottah, and also from the far
West forever. Now wa receive accounts from
Charleston through Savannah, ahead of the mail
through Aag»*ta; the trade and travel of Georgia,
will oa certain fall into iu proper channels, at wa

If Hie matter i* closely scanned, it will be seen
that Great Britain has burnt! it impraetieuble to lib
erate the blacks without enslaving the whites. It is
Ibiiiid that thu severity uecesaurily exerted by thu
public authorities to keep the slave* in subordination
since the immediate supervision of masters is with
drawn, is greater than before, nnd that punish
ments, sincu thu severance iff this emntmuiity of in
terest and sympathy growing out of the old relations
existing between the whites anil blacks, are touch
more fatul. From the statement# which we givo
below from till English paper, it will In* H-eo tlmt tho
wh de scheme of Ur tisli policy in regard to thu
blacks iu Jamaica, must resolve itself into u struggle
between iho nice# for mastery, and wid end in tlio
extermination or banishment of tho whites. The
period is looked to when the right of suffrage conce
ded lo tlio free hltir.k* will put tin) whip of legisla
tion in the. hands of that, numerically preponderating
race; nnd then, if not before, Jnmuirn, in its dom
estic. Government wifi im as much a block

look* to the ultimate nsc.indeticy of the negroes in

ipates tlmt tho only question will bo " Murk or

such un issue can hardly he doubtful when it is Mu
ted. on tlio uuihority ol the Ministry, tlmt—
" i hero were iu Jnnmicit uh lit 5,<100 white#,
29,090 person# of color nnd blacks, who hud been
some time free, and 350,999 negroes lately cinnuc
pated. The constituent body had been represented

hut the number was, perhaps about 2.009, nnd nei

When the throe hundred nnd fifty thousand blacks

to foresee tlmt the colony will no longer he u white,

dependency, nnd n more valuable possession to he

Free Rankino.—Although the free bankingluw
of this state nas been in force more than a year, dur
ing which time the business of banking has been
open to nil, yet it appears from a statement which
we publish to-day, that few have availed themselves
of its privileges, at .east solar us tbe circulation of
bills is concerned. The w hole umount of bills giv
en out by the Comptroller is only about 1J millions
dollars, und pr.ilmhly nut ull this is in uctual circu
lation. Hie alarm originally felt by many lest
there should be n redundant currency under thu new
law, has subsided ; and likewise the distrust which
was eiilerlnincd of the safety of thu hills. These
are now universally admitted to he good, hut rite dif
ficulty i* to gel them} since for every dollar of its
circulation, the bank must have lodged iu tlio hands
of the Comptroller a dollar's worto of state stocks,
or stale stocks und prime mortgages, half and half.
Tin* is iho secret both ufthe smuiluess and safely of
i lie circulation under the tu-w luw.
The rage forgetting up such banks nn longer ex
ists Alnny which were projected have heen nhati-
doned; and others hold only ii precarious existence,
mid-way between lifo ami death.—Only 43 in the
whole state, when the Comptroller's table was made
up, bad applied for bills, and only 29 bud received
any. With a ftuv exceptions, the capital stoc'-s of
these Banks are at present unsaleable und unavaila

A Ktss ron a Blow.—A visitor once went into-

and u girl on one sent, who were brother nnd sisteiv.
Inn moment' of thoughtless pn*sion, the little boy-
struck hi* sister.. Tin* little girl wns provoked, unsfa
tawed In-r hand to return the blow. Her face show
ed that rage was working within, and her clenched
list was aimed at her brother, when her teacher
caught her eye. "Stop, my di-nr.’* said she, “y ot*
hint much bettor kiss your brother than to strike-
him."
Tln> look nnd the word reached her heart. Hot
hand dropped. She threw her arms round III* neck
nnd kissed him. Tlm boy was moved. Ho could
have stood against a blow, hut ho could not with-'
sta -d u sister’# ki«s. lit; compared the provocation
hi- hnd given her, with tlm return she had made, and
the tears rolled down his cheeks. This nffected
the »i*ter, and with hi* little handkerchief *h»
wiped away hi* tear*. But tlm tight of her kindness
only made him cry the faster; ho wu* completely
subdued.
Her teacher then told the children always to re
turn a kiss for a blow, nnd they would never get
nay more blows. Ifmunand women, families nnd
communities, and nation* would act on this princi
ple, Ibis world would almost c-ase to beavalaof
