That a mutual dependence exists b«twfen the upper ■ad lower portion! of Georgia, iwtwrcn the citiirnof tit* mounuina and of the i-numiea bordering on the distant Chattahoochee, and him whoae lot ia eaat in the principal Seaport of ilia State, where the rich produrta of Geoigia aeek an outlet to the ocean, no patriotir cllUen ofthe youngest of the old thirtem can. for a mo ment, doubt. Our |>eople, spread over an extent of country, in which there exiata every variety of anil ami climate, have a community of intercut which, if proper ly regarded, ami made* m centre upon the welfare of the maaa, will advance them in icicucn, wealth and octal proaperity. Our people Hru not only Agriculturists, nml mcr chanta, but many are divertin',* their attention to ttiatiu faciure*. We thua witneaa agriculture,commerce, nml manufneturea proceeding, Imml in hnml, to make ua n community grent nml happy. That Georgia ia rapidly reaching that commercial grandeur ami Independence which her local poi«iiioii, at the kry atone of the long arch of the maritime slates of our Union, aided by enlightened legislation, umat ere long confer upon her, no citizen with the prophetic oyo of a statesman can lie unconscious of. • It will lie our study through the columns nf the - Otoryinn nnt only to spread befut e the tender the Intent [ foreign and domestic intclligenre. not only t«) inform him on national and state politics, hut to convince him jhat tlie first duty of the citizen, concurrent with the welfare nf his immediate family, is to cultivate an alini ng attachment to the institutions nf Ids native State and enenurage that *pirit which will eventually make Genr. gia asaume that rank us an independent state nf this confederacy, which her noble advantages, if developed by the patriotism and enterprise oHier sons, cannot fail o aecureloiter. As auxiliary to the general prosperity of our helnv* ed State wo would cherish a reciprocal leeling he- ween the citizens of every section of our State, and srek by facts to convince every native and adopted son of Georgin, tlint no State in the Union contains more elements of social happiness,—none a more fa vorable position to be independent, ns site should, of those who seek (and in some measure with success) of making her tributary to their prosperity. To effect this, the Georgian will refer, on proper oc casions, to her own Snvnnnnh, the ancient city of tho State, and invite the notice of die citizen of the interior to her improvement, which from her commanding situ, alion, has been gradually onward, and in recent years astonishing. Exporting from her wharves near siriem millions in value of the staples of the State, she is yet but littio known ton large portion of the Agriculturists of Georgia; and the merchants of the interior, in many instances, pass her to swell the profits of the Northern capitalist, and thus compel tho purchaser within our limits to pay twenty per cent to our Northern brethren for those manufactures which could bo furnished by our own citizens. Shall Georgians submit longer to this onerous tax upon their industry? The patriotic re- 8 ponse will be an emphatic—No! One million, two hundredthousand dollars,are thus paid as a tax by the consumers of Georgin, nud not one yenr only, 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, lmw their cities have becetne splendid, and their public works magnificent. New York, the great city of a great Stnte, exports ^but four millions more than Savannah, while her im portations exceed those of Savannah nearly 310R.000,- 1)00. 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, ers. If we look nt the shipping owned In Savannah,)wbich exceeds that owned hy the merchants of any Atlantic, port South of the Chesapeake) uud employed by her merchants, a moment’s reduction will convince our rea ders in the interior that the enterprising merchants nf this city are able with their own vessels to transport a lnrge portion of t’.io exporting trade of Gerrgin, nml the numerous ships and other square rigged vessels, which during the business season crowd iier wharves, in pur suit of freights for Europe.would assist in bringing hack to her shores tho tic.h return cargoes demanded by the wants of our population. We would desire too to direct the attention of our fellow citizens in the interior to the rapid advancement of their Seaport within the last eight ye trs. In 1830 the population of the oily, exclusive of the xniinty of Chatham, was 7770. In lfi:»8 it had in. creased to 18,-758, being on addition of more than sixty per cent, (exclusive of a transient population from November to March of abnutpoou more.) and in the three years ending in August last upwards ul* too build ings (many of them brick) of vurinus sizes have been creeled in tho city and suburbs, (several of them im posing fire proof ware houses, capable of storing lnrge quantities of coUon.) while since that period many sub stantial edifices have been raised. One thousand feet of new wharves have nlso been recently reclaimed from the river for tho use of the city, and eighteen steam, rice and raw mills,have been erected within the past ten years in the city uud its immediate vicinity—five of them having been raised within the Insttwo years. The value of her real estate tins thus materially Improved, ns ovhieed by the high rents and the still increasing demand for houses, sens! bly augmenting the ordinary sources of the city's rave* tiuo. If we tun> to the river and enter into detail g we see twenty two steambonts, belonging to this port with an aggregate tonnage of 3704 51 -05, and engines of 1081 horses power, besides many plying on onr wa ters and trading here which hail from other places, ns Charleston and Darien. We see also thirti/nerni squnre rigged vessels owned in whole or in part in Savannah, of which eighteen ore ships of the largest class, aver aging more than five hundred tons. We would nlso point to our Rail Road, which is now travelled hy lo comotive more than sixty miles, nnd lias been graded for 105 miles, and under rotitrnet for 132 front the city In this work our city ns a corporation, have embarked half a million of dollars, besides extensive private sub- criptions on the part of our citizens.. We merely glance at theso facts,tlint our fellow noun, trymen of interior Georgia inay perceive that tho proaperity nf Savnntiali is substantial. In the brief apace of a Prospectus, details exhibiting cur resources, and our progress in the scale of cities, must bo uvoided. We must allude briefly to other subjects. Our columns shall of course be devoted to all mat. ters interesting to the genernl render. Agriculture, (and as connected with it the cultivation of silk,) Liter ature and the Arts will receive all the attention which a Weekly Miscellany can furnish, while the latest markets, foreign nnd domestic, will be inserted. One word os to our politics. The charncter of the Georgian we will strive to sustain. Tamperate and firm in tone, we shall support the measures of the nd ministration while they adhere to tho policy heretofore characterizing it—but be free to condemn when we judge it to he wrong. The terms of the Weekly Georgian will be to single subscribers, in the city or country, thru dollars per an- num, payable in advance. Every postmaster who may "Saintl twenty five dollars (free of postage) thereby fur nishing ten subscribers shall receive eleven copies o the Weekly Georgian, and any four subscribers in the .country remitting ten dollars (free of postage) shall re- xeive/oiw copies of the same. 03“ Our renders are informed that all advertiser intents intended for the weekly paper must bo so mark' «ed, and will be charged accordingly.

More alien. GEORGIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. With fooling of unnllnyed satisfaction, wo hnvr to record tho formation of a “Georgin Historical Soci ety.” On Friday evening last, according tn invita tion, we repaired nt eight o’clock, to tho Rooms of the Savannah Library Society, and in a sh ut time we found a groat portion of the talent and genius of our city laid assemble I. Every profession nnd pur suit was, indeed, represented. Tito lawyer, tint medical man, the planter, the merchant, the divino were tltoro anxious to givo on impetus to tho good work. Shortly after 0 o’clock, tho mooting was cull -«1 to order hy Dr. R. D. Arnold. and Judge Ciiaht.es S Henry, was called to the Chair. Subsequent!**. Israel K. Tkfft, Esq. was appointed Sorrutnry Tho Chairman briefly explained the objects of tli ; * meeting. The meeting was addressed Ity the Hun. James M. Wavne, tho Hon. John M- Berrien, th* Hun. John C. Nicoll, Dr. Aknoi.d, Dr. Stew? s Mr. Jones, and other gentlemen. They all ovine, ed tlie most lively interest in the success of the under- taking; uml we have not the least doubt the iibjec! will lie realized. Judge Wat UK, threw out several suggestions, in his usual pleasing and nffiihlu tvuy, which met the cordial approbation of all present. He continued for a brief period to show wit it might ho dono, uml pledged himself to use his utmost cnduuvoi s to foo ter ami encourage an institution tint would,ho imp ed, rosette from ••blivion, the records nf Ins native Suite. When it is reuiemherud that the Judge litis been long engaged in tracing tint history of Georgia frnns its first settlement, the uid lie will bring to the Society may he considered invaluable. * The deep interest Judge Berrien, nlso, evinced in the design, augurs must favorably for its pr--spori- ty. ns his studious pursuits will undoubtedly throw much light on the end which nil ure desirous of a'tninitig. The work nf the evening was to read u Constitu tion proposed, which with nmetidmems was referred tn a Committee of six, composed of Judges Nicole, nnd Berrien, Drs. Arnold nml Stevens, M. H.

THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK. Tim messago of Mr. Vaiuan, tho dmtnx*ratio may or of New.York, scorns to have elicited tho praise of even his opponents. It is generally ndmittml to he a most ultlu and patriotic document; nml if tlm principles itlnys down, nre ndheted to, the council of tlie Empire city will soon ho restored to tlieir original simplicity, ami republican soundness. Tho case of tho Government, versus Mr. Swart- wout, is to be taken up to the Supreme Court. Saul among the Prophets.—Ex-President Houston, ofTexas, has joined a temperance society, iitul delivered several lectures in favor of the cuuso of temperance. The New Orleans Courier states that tho Express Mail is to lie discerniutieil at the expiration of the present contrnrt. THE BLACK MULBERRY. A gentleman on Saturdny last, presented us with a skein of reeled silk, mnde from the identical blnck mulberry, which was brought to this country by Gen. Oglethorpe. It was raised by Mr. Silas Morton, of Scriven country, nnd wux reeled nnd spun on a common cotton wheel, by one of his family. It is fine, substnntiol silk, and appears to ns to bear a strong resembranco to India silk. We are certain that properly manufactured handkerchiefs, und shawls, equally the best Bundnnas and Pongees, could be made, in our own Georgin, from this very silk. It is true, itdbes not appeor to be os fine uml neat os French silk but when it is considered tlint the machinery used, was that adapted to cotton, it will be manifest that the article under proper man agement could be tendered eqttol to any other. The silk can bo seen at our office, hy thu curious, and every body should be curious in these days con cerning that commodity, which will in all probabili ty, yet be a staple ufour State, for no climate under heaven, is rpon* favorable to its culture. IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA. The War Concluded. By tho steamer Florida, Cnpt. Nock, arrived onSa- frdnv evening from Garay’s Ferry* our at tent ivo cor espondent has advised us that hostilities have ceas ed, and that peace will hereafter bless the citizens of tlie distracted Territory of Floridu. Wo hiivr the gratification of hiving before our ren ders n copy of tho General Orders, issued hy Gen eral Macomb, announcing tlie termination of the war. (from ouh correspondi nt.) “ To the Editor of the Savannah Georgian— Sm—Genernl Mueomh hns issued a Proclama tion to tlie inhabitants of Florida, in whiclt lie states that the tear is over. A boat leaves to-day, to go up the St. John’s for the purpose of bringing tho Genernl here tin his wny to tho North. Six cnmpnnies of the 2nd Dragoons lenve immediately for tho North.

Head Quarters of the Armt of the U. S. Fort King, Florida, May 18, 1839. GENERAL ORDERS: The Major General, Commanding-in-Chief*, bns the satisfaction of nnnounch g to th«* Army in Flnr Mb, to ’ho authorities of the Territory, nml to the citizens generally, tlint he has this dny terminated the War with tho Seminole Indians, by an agree ment entered Into with ' hitto-Tuste-nugge, princi pal Chief of the Seminole.*, nnd successor to Ar-pi- e-ke, commonly culled Sam Jones, brought to this Post hy Lieut. Col Harney, of the 2d Dragoons, from the Southern part of the peninsula. Tlie terms of the agreement are, that hostilities immediately cease between the parties, that the troops of the United States, and the Seminole and Mickastikie Chiefs and Warriors now at a distance be made ac quainted us soon as possible with ihe fact, that peace exists, and that oil hostilities are forthwith to cense on both siil«*s; tho Seminnles und Mickusukies agreeing to retire into a district of country in Florida below Pease C’repk, the boundaries of which ate ns follows, viz: beginning at the must Southern point of land between Charlotte Harlot, and thu San>- fad or Coloosa-hatehee river, opposite to Sanyhel Island, thence into Charlotte Harbor by the South ern pass between Pine Island and said point,along the Eastern »hore of sold harbor, to T«luh-Ch"pko or Pease Creek, thence up that river to liatchee- I'hlokn or Big Creek, thence up said crock to its JUDGE WAYNE. The Augusta Cliioiiic.lo nml Sentinel 1ms shown much spleen in regard to the respected individual whose nntno ln'iids this nrticlo. The rollcgu •* ofJulge Way NR, nt tin* bite nnd most important Convention, perhaps, tlint ever u sctnhlcd in the Slate of Geoigia. saw fit to distil uish hint by culling him to preside over their de- liberations, nnd that call met n unanimous response, This was not tho first time that the Judge rereived a similar mnrk of confident!-* of his folio w-riiizen- in 1832, (we think that was tho year,) he was also President of the State Convention. The attempt at wit in tho article of the Augusta Santinel of thu 23th, is only equalled by the point less nnd unlnnrned criticism of the correspondent of that pnper who, dniingfrom Milledgeville, evidently nMentpted a part lie was uneqUnl to perform. Me Certainly must hen very assuming p.rltle,fo**h< * deals in ipsedixits altogether, without oven endeavoring to make n showing of his logi-ml acquirements. It is, ofe.otnso, very easy for any person to figure as a would-be Joe Miller—ami, were we disposed we could raise n current tlint would flhigthp “chaff" of tho “ Pedoe farmer’s wliniit” into the eyes oftlie Augusta critic, while tlie ‘'grain” would lie render- ednviiilnble for all the purposes that Nature inten ded it. It is not aristocratic we confess, to spenk of" won! hats,”—nml all that is mu so, can find no favor in tho eyes of ihe nristocracy. As wo befoiO said, we do not know what is th** standard hy which the Augusta editor mcatttresot- atory. He tuny imve some rule of his own—some thing thnt is n secret to nil hut himself. It is mnr- velhms, however, nnd no compliment to his own pnrty, thnt if Judge Wayne is such am inferior per son. us he would fain make him. he should lie chosen ticm con. for such it dignified station ns Pre sident ufa State Convention—nnd one too thnt boas ted nf the ablest men of tlint puny—that lie should hnvpnftencommanded the highest vote for Congress in this State—that bis appointment nsnn Associate Judgo of the Supreme Court of the United Stntes, should have been ratified even by n Whig U. S. Sen ate—or nno that had a majority oftlie Whigs, nml could have rejected his appointment. This alone was n tribute to his talents—his integrity. It dops not become us to enter into n defence nf Judge Wayne—for his public enreer hns evinced ability and eloquence of the very highest nrdei. As a citi zen ami n gentleman, here, where he hns boon known from his very cradle, lie commands tlie respect nnd esteem of his opponent—while ho possesses tho warm affection of his friends. We imve, however, taken too much notice of tho vain nttempt which out Augusta contemporary hns been guilty of—the fu tility of which, we doubt nut, his own reflection will convinre him of. Before wo conclude, we must remurk that there never could he nny community of feeling—or unity of sentiment between James M. Wayne, nnd Tristram Burges. We doubt tho whole story us detailed by tho Chronicle; and even if it is true— we can very easily perceive tho jealousy which a Northern Federalist, must entertain for n Southern Republican. Now, we happen pi imve hnd tlie pleasure of hearing the Hon, Tristram Burges hold forth in tho Ij^uso of Representatives—wc havo also heard Judge Wayne in a more limited sphere, and wo can say that for stntesmnnlikc views —fir sound logical precision—for common sense— far everything that can make tho orator, the debater, tho latter is infinitely superior to the former. Wo, of course, cannot expect tho editor of tho Augusta paper to agree with us—for modern Whig sayings are too highly prized hy him. A blue light. Federalist would always ho his Magnus Apollo— rather than a Southern Republican. Is it possihlo that tho Whigs of Georgia have to go to Rhode Is land for support ? “ Otempora, Omores!" Whig- gory is surely on its last fags. Really, friend Chronicle, thy whole attuck is 0. Tho Now York papers statn that Mr. Hector Craig, Surveyor of the Fort of New York, ha* re ceived notice of dismissal from office ufter thelstof June. Mr. Swartwout’s Sureties.—The United States Marshal has advertised tlie property of the sureties of Mr. Swurtwout, late Collector of the port ofNnw York, for sule at public auction on tho fir*t dny of June next. Dixon clalevant editor of the Folyantlm*, has been honored witli tho appointment of barber, on Blackwell’s Island, which has given thu newspaper wits much employment in their punning propensi ties.

He was noto riously "a keen onu" when hu was hut u “young shaver.” IMPORTANT MEETING OF CITIZENS. nil IDO K ACROSS tiik savannah. We nre highly gratified to record thu following proceeding* of one of thu groa’ust meetings ever held in thi« city, nt till* sensun of tlie year, for tlie purpose of advancing th** prosperity ufour city nnd our State.

Oh, it is cheering to sen such unity of action—such hnr- mnnyof s-titimenl, ns wc yesterday witnessed.

Mr. Berrien, nftor making with hi* usual cln irness, a faw very pertinent remark*, on the importance of tlm object* aimed nt, submitted to tlm meeting the following resolution* : Resolved, Thnt tho completion of the Rail Rond cnmiounirntion between the cities of Savannah ami Macon, is of th * iitm ist importance, not m *p*ly to those cities, hm in it* connection with tho Wes'ern nnd Atlantic Rail Road, by means of the road now in sucressful operation between Macon ami Forsyth, nnd the prolong itinn of thnt reail from Forsyth to the State Rea I, will ho of incalculable benefit to the poopln of the State; tlint thooirnpfation ofthn ran I from Savannah to* Macon can never for a moment bo lost sight of, without producing the most injnr - «us consequence* tn the commercial interest* uf Georgia, nod that the fund* ami credit of the Slate ought, if necessnry, in be freely used in tho accom plishment of that object, already so far advanced hy the untiringzrnl and onargy of the Central Rail Rond Company. Whereas, tho Central Rail Rond will very soon lie completed to a point, from whiclt it may im con nected with the city of Augusta, by tho shortest practicable route, by a Rail Roud to that city from such point. And whereas such connection will lend greatly tn promote tho interests of the cities of Savannah and Augusta. Resolved, That it be recommended to the corpo ration of the city of Savannah to subscribe for one hundred thousand dollar* of tlie stock of tho Com pany incorporated for the construction of the said rood, and to invito tho corporation of the city of Au gusta to unite with them, in the accomplishment of thi* dcsirahlo object, hy n similar subscription. These, after some eloquent observation* from M. H. McAllister, Esq., and tho spirited advocacy of bis Honor Judgo Nicoll, were enthusiastically re ceived nnd unanimously passed. The meeting then ufter patting thu usual vote of thank* to thu Chairman und Secretary, on motion, adjourned. ROBERT M. CHARLTON, Chairman. Jus. S. Fay, Secretary.

We are at a Ins* to tinder*tnn I thi- mode of nr- lion. Wtf c m -m iw possible bme fn that ran he derived from such n course. Tlm Smith, however, must Inevitably lie injured by it. For sh-oild Mr. Van Boren nut receive tlm full support ofthe Slave holding Slates—or a nu jnriiy of them—his federal opponent—he he Clay or Webster, nr even Harrison—will have nit ndvantngo over him: nml should a Federalist lie called to tlie Presi dential chair, the responsibility will undoubt edly rest on tlie South. Let the State Right* parly, then, reflect on what they do. We nre, in deed, slow to believe that any State in the South will go for Mr. (’lay • Wo hnrdly think it possible.
