AMERICAN NEWSPAPER LITERATURE.
A glanco ovor tho files of our old newspapers,
will convinco any person of tlio great and valuable
improvements which have tuken pi ice, in tho np-
poaranco and style of our porindicnl publications.
A London Magazine printed 30 years ago, now
before us, contains communications reflecting se
verely on tho .American newspaper press, otio of
which sets forth “ tho decay of British genius in its
Transatlantic soil;” at tho same time conceding
that tho disgraceful state of litcrnturo in America
at tbnt day arose not from “ any actual dtfiemey of
genius.”/ Tlio truo reason, howover, might ho
found in tho want of pntronngo, and the little en
couragement which was afforded unlive authors.
At that period, few men of literary eminence were
connected with the newspapers. Many of them
had no further pretensions than thnt of meru tran
scribers of foreign and domestic intelligence; origi
nal mottcr was not expected. Now, men of ge
nius, and acknowledged talent, liavo taken the
reins, and guide that moral engino, with .grnccful-
noss und dexterity, for tho benefit of thoir genera*
• tlon.
Some of our sweetest poets nre nowspnper odi-
turs. Many of our best nutivo dramas have been
produced by men who toil or have toiled with tlio
“ gray gooso quill,” for a daily or weekly sheet.
Tho cor pi editorial has marvellously improved
of into years la this country. The nblo journalists
England— tho hold and criticnl reviewers of tho
United Kingdom—havo inct rivals on this sido of
tho Atlantic, whoso eloquence, learning, and origi
nality, poured forth in tlio common lniigmige of the
fatherland of both, must and will find plncos on tlio
lolly pillar of fame—and descend to posterity ns
contemporary und among tlio ablest writers of their
day.
Tho low state of tho typographical art, compared
with what it has sineo attained, may idso ho con
sidered ii cause of tho miserable appearance of our
newspapers 30 or 40 years ago; and the grant im
provements in thnt art and in paper making, have
contributed to beautify those of tho present day.
As well written and well printed sheets nre now
issued in this country, us tho Loudon or Edinburgh
press have ever produced. Indeed tlio New York
Mirror, the Spirit of the Tima, the Knicker
bocker, and the Southern Literary Mct»cngcr,
eve rather bettor printed than any EtigUsh periodi
cal* of a sintiliur class wo liavo lately seen. Of
thoir literary character, it is needless to speak.

TIIE STATE OF SOUTH CAItOt.lNA.
To the honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of the
City of A uguiltu.
The petition of tf^Soiith Carolina Canal und
Rail Road Compnny respectfully sheweth,
That tho said Rail Iloiul Company nre de-irons
of extending their connection with tlio city of Au
gusta, ami tlio Interior of Georgia, and removing
us far as may bo in their power, all obstacles to the
freest uud must unrestricted intercourse. That tlio
present termination of their roiul at Hamburg, sub
jects tho merchants, mid oilier*engaged in the trade
of Augusta, und the surrounding cuntilry to great
cnilmrrassinont, and heavy charges from the delay
iu receiving uud forwarding their goods and pro
vince, uud the heavy tolls they are compelled to pay
at tiie Augustu Bridge, which tolls have lately been
greatly increased.
That to rotnovo tlieso evils ns far ns tiny ho in
llieir power, tho Rail Road Company uic disposed
to cross tlio Suvuiinuli River by a bridge or other
wise, to Augusta, und their establish u depository,
where goods and produce shall ho received fur trans
portation, niul delivered tu the Merchants ami
others in Augustu. This measure tho Company
mo willing to curry into effect nl their own expense,
mid ns it will greatly benefit tho citizens of Georgia,
und especially of Augustu, they confidently roly on
the cuuutonauce and support of your honorable
body.
Your petitioners have understood that tho city-
of Augusta are the ownnta of tho land on tlm mar
gin of ilia river for soma distancenhova and lioiow
ilioAugusut Di'idgo, that rim lots ubing tho river
are bounded by a public street, and that l ha wharves
opposite ti lliosa Ion nre also owned by tlio city.
Tim Rail Road Company therefore before they
prdc-ed tu purchasou piucu far a depository on
the Augusta sido of tlm River, would respectfully
ask of riio City Council their consent to ilia free u«o
by tho Company, in perpetuity, of such public lands,
wharves or streets as they may find necessary for
the purpose ofcrossing tlm River, nnd riftuldisliing «
depository in Augustu for tlio purposes above suited.
Whilo this Compnny would be ilosirnus of currying
their road ns far into tlm city of Augusiu ns may he
practicable, so as to roducu to tlm smallest amount
tho charges of transportation on sueii goad ns may
bo dcsiincd for the interior ofGoorgiu, it must bo left
to tho wisdom of your honorablo body to impost)
such restrictions us tim public interest mny iu your
judgment require.
Your petitioners trust that in granting tho prayer
of tlmir poiition, your honorablo body will ul*o ex
tend to them an exemption from taxation, ut ihe
measure they proposo to adopt, must bo necetsnrily
attended with much exponso to them, while it will
rently benefit tho citizens of Augusta. It is proper
to add that all thut is required of tho city of Augusta,
is an agreement giving iheir consent uml sanction,
so far as they mny lawfully do so, to our classing
the River by n bridge or otherwise, to sumo point
on tho Augusta side of tho River, within tho corpo
rate limits, tho establishment of a depository, uud
other suitable buildings there, and tlm free use, or
the uso on reasonable term* of such public lots,
wharves or streets, as may bo required for these
purposes. It is not tlm intention of tho Compnny
^establish u toll bridge, or to violate tho chartered
rights of others, whatever they ni *y bo. They intend
to proceed lo accomplish tho objects tlmy have in
view, by oil legal and proper means, and as a first
slop, appeal to your honorablo body for your aid
and support.
AH which is respectfully submitted in behalf of
the Company.
By order of tho Board,
TRISTRAM TUPPER, President.
Mauraumuf, May 16th, 1833.
Gentlemen:—In searching the archives of tho
Suite, under tho authority of tho last Legislature,
for evidence for and ugaisnt tho clnitns of Peter
Trezvuntaiid others, wo found many documents of
great interest connected with the early history of
Georgia—Letters written by Washington, Jefferson,
and Franklin. Tho account current of tlm lutter
for his three years sorvices nt London, whilo anting
as our Colonial Agent, forwarded, and its payment
solicited by Gen. Anthony Wayne; those, and a va
riety of communications from ’tho heroes and sagos
of the Revolution, will constitute a rich store of inn-
prosperity of our slstor city,

Cecil County, Martund,
Mt Dear SlM—Wlien 1 last saw you on your
one of tlm waits, the wav to Kentucky, I Informed you thnt l intended its
'»ch> make a tpurtlirou<;h different parts of your Western
country. j|A( jdiw Hessian Fly Imd ruined at least
three crops In URt Eastern part of our State, in Dela
ware adjoining—nnd as I learned that tlm grantor
I mrt of New Jersey, I'eiinsylvnnirt, and Virginia,
lad boon cursed with thut insert, and there being no
certainty how long they remain iu a country—those
ivukuiis made uic muko this tour ono year sooner
thnu I intended, to look out for a now country to
migrate to, where there was n stapio iu which I
could employ my hands—our’* being wheat, which
at this time is iff no nccoimt.
Accordingly I started up bv the way of Winches*
ter, Staunton nnd Abim-ton, Virginia, tlioncc to Sul*
livnn und Hawkins Court house, Tennessee. Tilts
part of the State I could not Inti in love with | tho
country appeared broken and rough, mid although
there is simto ricli upland, and a quantity of vuluahlo
low gr.Mind. yet I could discover no staple article
the people lind in view for market. From Hawkins
Court fiouso, I started for your Stuto, by a Mr.
Orr’s to Cumberland Gap; thnneo through tho wil
derness to the Crab Orchard, nnd from tbenco to
Dnnvillo. After u tarry of n few weeks, I rode
through Garrard, Madison, Clarke, nnd Bourbon
counties; tarried n fetv days ill Paris, nnd was
pleased witli tlio country 1 passed through. From
tlioncc I went on la Lexington, where I also tarried
ii few days, nnd was sorry to learn you were unseat
from tlio State, nnd were not exjuTted home for
several yvcekn, us tny note to yon on my departure
will inform you, Tlio soil which I liavo seen iu
Kentucky, its richness, und tho immense body
which lies so compactly together, without any which
can lio culled refute toil, lias greatly exceeded my
expectations, ns does tho town of Lexington, iu its
size and private buildings; hut in particular, the
public building* throughout tlio Suite by Ihr exceeds
any in the old States, considering your nge, your
confined trade, und your having no permanent sluplc
for expoi-tntinn.
I viewed tlio foundation of a Duck Manufactory
iu Lexington; and should tho proprietors meet with
success, (which undoubtedly they will, if they con
duct it with propriety) other establishments of tlio
same kind will beronde, and ynnrStnle will heenmo
tiie richest in tiie Union: for no one will doubt hut
that your country run raise more hemp than ull tho
other States hi tlio Union; nnd when you manufac
ture all the raw inuterinl, to which will lie added
tlio labor and provisions, your exports will umouiit
to more in vulue, than tlio exports of any other
State.
After viewing Lexington, and tlio country around
it, l stnrt. d for Frankfort your rnpitnl—tho spot I
dislike, ns in nil your Stale you could mil havo pilch-
oil upon u more disngroeiilite placo for tho sent of
government. Tho foundation of your penitentiary
house, however, dor* you honor. From Frankfort
I went on to Louisville, through the Green River
country, to Nashville. After three weeks’ ride
ihniiigl) rids country, I must say, that I consider it
as tho second lies! soil I havo seen. In some re
spects it Iiiis a preference to your Stuto. I believe
all your production* grow equally well hero, and
cotton in as gn at perfection ns in Georgia But of
till* I will infm ut you hereafter. Aftnrsntislying my
self with this country, my ’companion and myself
hired a pilot mid slurted tor the Natchez settlement;
but by the rimv we got to the Tennessee River, my
companion’s horse got lame. We halted in tho
midst of a number of Indinn parties, who were hun
ting. During this tiino a company arrived from tho
Nalelirz. Fnun some gentlein"ii of good informa
tion, 1 learned ib.it nothing was to lie ilonn in tho
land way—which was my object, if I liked iho dis
trict—us the inhabitants were in great confusion
with iludf different lights, noildiig having been do
termined on by government. My companion de
clined going on—I gave tho journey out.
As the cotton business was my object, I was how
ever determined io see Georgia, previous to my re
turn homo. Ono of tlio tradcis being on Ills rolotn
home to Augustu, for more goods, nnd giving us ns-
surnneo thnt there was iio danger, wo sinned up
through the differeni nations.
Tint Tennessee bottoms excel any binds l have
overseen: being extend ve, lying high and dry, out
of the reach of tIio river flood.-; the high 'mills being
superior to any except yours, nndihu Cumberland
lands. After u tilosuinej mrney, l ot Inst arrived
in one of tho upper towns, which Inis on tho little
Tennessee; and henring of a gentleman residing in
Knoxville, and it huing but seventy-five miles off, I
ulleved my course to that placo, us I could when
the:go through *n settled country to Guirgia.—
Fixing my business lien-, I sturtvd for the win in
springs, nnd found myself on tho Kentucky road tlio
emigrants uso from tlienco 1 proceeded on to Blinker
court house, Ninth Curolinu, to Suludj mountain,
Smiili Curolinu, from tlienco to Petersburg, on the
Saviiiiiiith rivor, frnniihcucu to Washington,Wilkes
comity, thonco to Louisville, sent of government,
tin lice to tlio mouili of tho Si. Aiury* liver, thence
along thcnoaslioio und up to Savannah, (town) mill
to Augusta, furly-tivo miles from Petersburg, 1 must
say this town exceeds any idea 1 had forined of it.
It is, beyond all doubt, u place of twice tlio busi
ness for liny'inland town, ol'nny oil ihocoiitinoni.—
And where the Stnto of Georgia tvoll acquainted
with iho natural a ivuntagos and superiority of S i-
vamuili river, ovor every other river on tlio conti
nent, for ail .interior Ii mlu to tiie western country, it
would bo much to its advantage. Ii runs through
iiii extensive nnd n very rich nnd fertile country .far
ther up tho back country from the sen, uud iins by
fur the easiest and host boat navigation Smith Care-
linn, too, is vqual'y interested in the produce which
comes down the Savannah rivor. It is tlio natural
boundary of both States, ami whatever will affect
the prosperity of the one, will affect the nrospeiiiy
of tho other. Tiie laud on the side opposite Augus
ta, is equally good fur the establishment of a town,
and boih may bo connected l»y n permanent bridgo.
Lei tliuso States enquire into ilia importance oi the
Western trade, and sou wlmt pains other Stilus
tuka to preserve it. Pennsylvania evmy year lays
out largo sums of money to uiuend tho roud from
Pliilitlelpliin to Pittsburg. Maryland, too, thinks
it important. Let those States lay out two hundred
pounds on roads from Augusta to Tennessee nnd
Kentucky, fm every thousand pounds which Penn
sylvania Iiiis done, mid they will soon see Augusta
boromu u placo of conridernhlo importance. I uni
of opinion thill Danville or oven Lexington, (Ken-
tucky,) are nearer Augusta, ihnii Pittsburg is to
Philadelphia. I hero uunex iho distance from Pu-
lerslitiig to the Crab Oicluird:

from llicnce to Saluda Mountain, 38—from tlienco
to I'ftersliTirg (Savunnuli) 30 miles—tho total hut
328 miles. This roud originally was laid out with
out any design, and merely by chance to connect
so.tloment with settlernnni us they took place—and
there is not five or ten mib-sin tlio direction toward#
the Sava ii nnh river, until you cross Saluda Moun
tain—and it appears to mo thnt a straight lino runs
from Danville to I'eierborg ir Augusta, must save
nt least 76 or 30 miles. 1 was informed 1»y the In
dian traders and by the Merchant* of Putorabuig,
that tlm Indian towns on Tonne-see, were not morn
than lUO or ISO miles from there; und that it can't
be more than 200 miles to Danville or even Lexing
ton. Now should it prove a distuiae less than 300
miles, you must immediately perceive the advanta
ges it would bo of to those States, to open n direct
road from Danville on tho out edge of the ricli lnnd»,
and ihe centre of your population through the In-
diun nation. (The last treaty secures ruhds through
thoir territory ) You can drive ull your bpef and

merchants purchase llieir good# iu Philadelphia—
wagon them 320 mile* to Pittsburg—boat them 400
miles to Lime-tone, wugnn on them a second time

wagon ihorn 32 mile* further—which will muke 417

The papers convey tho idea iliut Bristol is likely
to become tho first scene of Chartist uction. Tiie
Morning Herald says:
The Bristol Clmrlists, it ia said, liavo threatened
to begin the revolution by making a bonfire of thu
shipping it that port; and that they may not lock
courage, tho Bristol “liboruls” wore to assnmblo
yesterduy, under tlio pretence of addressing tlio
juuon, hot in reality, with tho viow of kindling the
flames of discord umong tlm most inflammatory
min her Majesty's dominion*.
Tho ordiiunco department in tlio Tower hn* been

and forwarding military store* to all purls of Eng

Two of tnn delegates to tlio Birmingham conven
tion were arrested on the night of the 16th. Oil
their examination Mr.Tcargus O'Connor appeared
ns their Icgul adviser. The evidenco adduced
against them was in relation to thuirspecchci atan
assemblage of tiie Chartists, to the following effect*.
“ I call upon you all to do as I should do, arm
yourselves and be ready, and then you will ho pic
tured to meet your enemies, whether they coino
ruin France, or Germany, or Ilussin. or your own
domestic tyrants.” “ I dont know how long you
ntonn to boar tho tyranny of tho rich nristoernts,
but I enn tell you 1 mean to bear it very little lon
ger. Arm yourselves anil ho ready to resist your
oppressors. Depond upon nothing but Almighty
uud and your own right arms.” “ Gentlemen, you
know tho aristocrats have leftyoti scarce enough to
support nature, while they aro wallowing in wenlth
and luxury on their sofas, and rolling through tho
sttccts in their carriages, and if a ponrbeggnr looks
up to them and Asks them for a trifle, they throw
themselves hack in their carriages End threaten with
disdain nnd contempt.”
“ D—-d scoundrels, they rely upon the soldier*
putting us down; but they wont—they are taken
from among our own ranks. But if wo nro united,
what cun the soldiers do 7 Wo have only to walk
arm in arm, and we could trample them under our
feet. Tho whig# are greater scoundrels than the to-
rias—hypocrites, who, under tho pretence, ofliin-rty,
huvo denied us all our rights. Wo must demand
oar righw, and if nil oristocrutic government do not
grant them, we most seize them by force of arm*.
They are violating tho constitution overy day; they
are tho enemies of the country, ond wo must nrm
oursolvo* to resist them.
