This person who ha* made hirnself so nntrtrinushy the port ho took in tlm scenes at llarrishurg last winter, is not likely to slip into Ilia sent in the House of the Pennsylvania Legislature with rpiiUj as much cuse us he intaginerl.

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.

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.
