RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Tba result It thot given by the New York Even
ing Pott, of Aug. 89.
"The two Whig member* of Congrats from
Rhode Island, warn reflected on Tuesday hy a di>
minished majority. All tha pianos in tho Suu*
have boea heard from except Block Inland. If that
piece gives the same vote as at tha last election,
Mr. Cranston will bo chosen by about 200 majority,
and Mr. Tillinghaat by about 300. Thr whig mi*
jority, at tha previous election of members, was
1080, making a democratic gain since that time of
between seven and eight hundred votes in the
State."
Tba Whigs are quite frantic about it, and they
are right. It Is their pbenlx for the year—the only
bird of tha kind from which they could pluck a
feather. The Providence Journal thus opens the
grand occasion in a stylo worthy of Doe Armado
" Never did wa take our pen with prouder fuel*
lags of exultation than wa do at this moment, to
record another triumph of the people, another vie*
lory of tba land holders of Rhode Island over the
rabble rout of locnfacoitm."
"Blow winds and quark your ebooks!"—the
Whigs have elected two members of Congress re
presenting the entire sovereignty of the mighty
Buta af Rhode Island, and ih*l too by a majority
oaly diminished three fourths from tlm last elec*
tkm?' Tha Naw York Bxprrtt throws Itself into a
hea tries] attitude of aurpriaing grace ami Impics-
aiveness, thus:
" Wo looked with kremlkltti apprehension to
this noble hearted little State after events in the
West had given a dubious aspect to tho popular
body la Conge st without Rhode Island -h- cause
wa know that all tha better!#* of tha administration,
• would be opened upon the State t but wo reiolce
tho Whlgo have withstood them alt."
The nowa came In tho midst of ibis breathless
look, and tha Coprett' o gan of sight, which ap.
pwirs to have bean in no little danger of strange a*
tkm, was restored to it* respiratory function*.

•• That your petitioner ha h two children, who

effect uf tlw law aa regards an author is virtually to
disinherit hi* nr*t-«f-kln, and cut him off with a
bunk instead of a shilling. That your petitioner it
very willing tu write fur posterity on the lowest

that when hi* heir ■hall epi'ly for puymont* to pos

as a mnn'i hair, hulimsi to hi* heed SO hi* les'l

should belong to hlv heirs t whereas, on th«* contra-

en unnatural law which compel* nn author to write
for every hudy'a posterity—escept his own Finally,
whereas it has been urged " if an author writes for
|K>*terity I t hint look to posterity fur his reward"
—your petitioner edop's tltal scry argument and
on its very principle prays fur tho adoption of the

A Prise Rckoontr.—Ctpi. Henry Green, of this
plac^, very p-limly called upon us last evening, af
ter our paper was mudu up, und gave the item* uf
the following snucwmllnary adventure.
While with Cupl. Paietiali Ferdham, on a gun
ning excur-ion on Momluvluat, at Fmi Pond B..v.
about 13 m'foa east of this pfoce foil jq with f„Gr
blacks who had no other cuvering save a blanket,
who could talk nudlwr English, French, nor Spun-
i-h, but one uf them und-rit md « lit. to ofthe fi-st.
They enquired what counuy ihis wu«, and whi ther
it was a alavo country, fee. F-«ui more now joined
them, and they wanted Capt, Gnento go on board
their schooner, then ly<ng off Fort Pond Buy, and
carry them to Sierra Leone, slating that they had
w qiuntity of money on bo« d, and that they must
be on boinl iH-fort- sun -lown t-» get under way.
Captains Gn en wml FnrdUxm, impacting all was
»t right, told lliam, if 'hey altemptnd to get under
way, there was a tnan-of-wnr In if .and schooner loi-k-
ing for them, uml thut they certainly would b« ta
ken, ami uffer©.l to go on board and bring tlmir schr.
iato port, winch they retused io comply with that
nicht, hut would consent |n it the next morning.—
Capt. Green then perjunded them to hnd their ma-
•'ey, which they agreed to; tha bout, wiih part of
them, then went offend brought two ti links, which
they an id contain- d 400 doublo m*. and that there
w as more on hunt d. A nmnlier mote of tlm blncks
(romon‘board came an shore with them, making
the w hole number on shore about 20. Captains
Given and IVdhxralook poitrsainnof the 2 trunks,
said to contain tlie 4H0 doubloons; a brig then hove
in sight offGonlner’n Point,which passed th-schoon
er, tacked and tb-n owered hur boat which
proceeded to the schooner; the blacks wet* then
anxious for Capt. Green to go on b-ard and bring
the schooner into port, but buthen told them it was
too late.
The boat boarded thn schooner, when ns many of
tho blacks on *l.o e ns could g-t int<i their boat push
ed off for th* sclroon r likewise, end when about
halfway was met by the brig« boat which drove
them back to the shore, when the brigsbont landed
and made pris-nera of tlie blacks, whom they car-
tied on board, a* likewise the two tiu-<ks, which
they took from the po-tetsion of Capiaina Green
and Furdham.
The black* had been to two or three h-usei, had
lauight samo bread which th'-y raid was forth# mite
-bo was aick on b-ard, and for which they offered
a piece of f--ld of til-- value of $1; they likewise
bought, two dog* wbichgtbey gave a duubloon a
piece for.
The hrlf l* *»ld tube row surveying the c- art and
the officer that landed, e Mr. Porter—son «f the old
Commodore. After th* schooner was in possession
of the brig, a man was said tojump overboard and
make for the shore, but was pursued by a boat and
retaken.
Had not Captains Greeoand Fordhsm persuaded
them M Und their m*n#y, which took up some
time^nd frightened lh-m with th* stoty of the man
e-war brig and schooner, they would have been un
der way end out of reach ofthe brig, and w* think
that Captains Green and Furdham are antitlad, at
least, to a salvage mi th* money which they had ta
ken, end wa* retake# from them by tbo officer of tbo

WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAIL ROAD.
Although I feel great reluctance at obtruding my-
self or my opinmna upon the attention ofthe public,
yet, inconsequence of having been repeatedly im
plicated in a public manner, in the indulgence and
promulgation uf view* touching tin- Wcsti-ru and
Atlantic Uuil Roud incomputiidn with, if tint sub
versive ofthe bust interest uf the State of Georgia, I
frel myself called upon to express in gnneral terms,
my opinions in reference to therel'itive merits ul'tiie
suveral routes thut havo bern suggusted as more fa
vorable for thu W. fe A. R Ruud, thun the route
surveyed und adopted.
Jt should be borne in mind that the acts of tho
Legislature passed in lOJfl and 1837, authorizing
tlio survey, location and construction ofthe W. &
A. R. Road required thut the read should cress tho
Tennessee line ul or neir Uossvillo; from which
point, a* it hat been distinctly shown in my officiul
reports on tho s-rveys nnd location of thn road,
tho shortcut and must favorable reuto to the margin
of tho Tenuaiioe river, is the route descending in
tho valley of thu Chickamauga. and terminating on
the Tenn-ssco river, between the mouth of the
Chickamauga and Ross' Landing or Chattunouga.
Ill view of the requisition of the law just udvert- d
to. I do not hciitite to pro 'ounce the route survey
ed and located, from the Southerly terminus of tlie
road to tiie Tennessee river, not only the most fo-
voiuble, but in *o for at relates to tlw pxsrago of
most formidable iinne.limon's in tho wny of the
roud, the only iiivorublu route that the country pro-
sent*.
But aside from tho restricti-n imposed by tho
laws in question, with reference to t e pus-age of
t e road across the Tennessee lino "at or near
Rossville," I nm prepared to nssert from personal
observathm tlml, the routi- surveyed nnd adopted,
is tho most favorable that can be found leading in
any direction from the Chattahoochee to the Ten
nessee liver.
A rout# leading from CnMv'll# to Romo, and
thence to tho Te-mm-co river at Gunter'* Landing,
has been repre-ented a* more favorable ihin tlm
route surveyed. This nnitn must unavoidably pass
ever Sand Mountain, which cun only bo crossed by
means of three, perhaps four inclined plnnes, at nn
ascent of more than 100 feet per mill-, probably 150
feet per mile, in pa-sing from any part ofthe Coosa
river between Rome and th<» mouth of VViils* Creak
to tho summit nf iho mountain; md in descending
from tho summit to tho vnlli-y of the Tennessee ri
ver, a declivity at least twice as great and requiring
nn equal number of inrlin.-d plane* of double the
slope, must unavoidably be encountered. Tlirm is
no gup -t depression in Sand Mountain by which
these nppalling difficulties cun bo avoided.
Moreover, the distance from Casxvilln to Gun
ter’s Landy, by any route at all feasible for a Rail
U-iad, is at least forty-five miles greeter than from
Cas&villo to Ross’ Landing. This consideration
added to that of s«m« six or eight inclined planes
necessary in tho passage of Sand .Mountain, to say
nothing of numberless other impediments in the way
nfa railroad by this route, place* it entirely without
thn on|e of competition with thn route to Ross'
Lunding. which is entirely free from impediments
of this s-rt.
Tim sit** of the village nl Gunter's Landing, is in*
•ulntnd nnd small, being separated from the ba*n of
SnntJ Mountain by an vxtnnalv* trnct of flat country
of very considerable width, nnd unuually subject to
foundations from tho rivet tothe depth of many feet.
Tho approach towards Gunter’s Landing from the
summit of Sand Mountain is exceedingly fugged,ihe
westerly declivity of the mountain being furrowed
bydeepand broad ravines with inteiv nihg swells
of cieai height and abrupt declivities, stretching
athwart any direct route leading towards Gunter's
Landing.
The point on this pnrt nf Tennessee river, most
arcessiblHtnarailrnad. issitunred at the distance
of about seven mile* below Gunter's Landing, and
between Oubdh's Landiaf aad th# heed of Meade
SIkmI*. Im the perform*ee# of my duties, I have
had occasion *o descend tba Tannease* river from
Ut head to the Alabama Hue, and embraced every
opportunity to acquito ii.foimaiion in nferrnce to
the chare ter of its navigation. 1 he ra«M]t b«s boon,
that from ilia Suck, about 7 tnilasbrlww Rows' Lan
ding, to the bend of Muscle Shoal*, th# river.will
admit boats drawing 3 feet water In the low-
Ptt Stag. I but in regard to the difference in fevor of
ilnst p->r ion oft he rivt-r below Gunter's Land jag a fed
against that alone, I have never bern apprised thfet
any such difference existed. Of thn practicability
o| improving the navigation of the Tennessee at Urn
Sui-k, on compai itm-ly rood Tate and favorable
taims, I have no doubt; nor have I any doubt bat
th.it by mean* of such an improvement, tha Tannaa*
a>-u r*ver may be it mlon-d pi-rmanenily navigable
quite t-i Cliuliatiuoga, and«van higher.
The next subject for cuosideratiuo is th# practi
cability ofa railroad from Gbaunooga to Nashville
in continuation of tlte We/tern and Atlantic Rail
Hoad, as now surveyed mid lacutcd.
The route most favorable for thu extension bera
cuntcmplatcsl, is undi-ubtcdly to be found in tba
immediate valley of tbo river, by pursuing which,
fur a distance of about 3tl miles, a sacrifice uf about
five miles in distance is the mo»t serious objection
to the route Un this pii.t of the route, several
rugged pui-'ts and dtfit valleys, requiring high em-
hunknient* to keep tnu road above the reach of
fresh'-u, must be traversed; but in no instance will
the structures rourad for tlte support ofthe road,
In- exposed to violent water currents. The route
should then pass into Sequachce valley, and op.
K oech Cumberland Mountain. This fimnidablo
irrier must be surmounted by means of inclined
[•lanes, without which, tho mountain can no wbera
lie travet-sid by a rail ruad. Having crossed tho
Cumbe land Mountain, the route passes on ground
remarkably favourable, quite to Nashville, tb* only
impediments in the way uf easy construction being
prusoutud it the crossings often of tho tributaries
of Duck river, where, fora few miles, much heavy
cutting, oinbiinkmcui and bridging will he required.
Un rnnira-.fog tin- route from Cnssvill • via Ross'
l.nmling, to the sami- place, we find that un the Gun-
•er'* (.muling route, we have two moiintuins, vit:
Sand Mountain und Cumborliind Mountain torrois,
while on ttic Uori' Lunding inure, wa Inr.e only OM
mount iio, vis : Cumberiand Mountain to ern-s.—
By a simil ir contrast, wo also fii.il that the distunes
un th.- Gunter's Landing route, is greater hy about
seventy-five mites than that on thu Ross' Landing
route. Hi-nce un the score of distanre uml (anility
of transit, the Ross' Landing route is far preferable
to that by way of Gunter'* Landing.
In regard to a branch rail rnnd connecting tha
Wvstern and At'anticRuil Ruud with the Hiwaxseo
Kail Road, I am happy to concur in the pledge giv*
van by tho Slate of Georgia, a* evinced by a joint
resolution of her Senate ami Hou-e of RnpreavnU-
lives, which not only-admits the utility und import
ance uf such a branch, but generously proffer* Its
future construction.

observed thut both of these routes unite iu the vat*

must unavoidable pass Snnd Mountain, by the aid

alow vuminit, and descending on ground equally aa
fuvora'-le in tho valley of Lookout crock to thn

tanooga or Russ' lauding. At «hi* point, a connex
ion may bo funned with the Westent and Atluntio

crossing but ono, inrtrod of two mountain*.

Mountain to ih# margin uf Tennessee rivi-r, is to be
found leading in adiiertlnn toilm point hero desig
nated, than cun be found on (he route to Gunter’s
Landing. Hfiiceihufeciliiirsfora railroad from
Ceisvillo to Ro»s’ Landing ar# incompnratively
greater than horn Cassvillo to Gunter's Lunding, or
to any other (mint on Tennessee river, in that vicin-
*y-
But tlie main argument urged In reference to tbo
selection of a point of the terminus of the road on
Tennessee river, seom* to be tho practicability of
extending the routo by a rail road communication,
either downward in the valley of the Tennessee, or
in a direction towards Nashville, See. With regard
to an extension downward, I * ould remark, that by
far tho most difficult passage for a rail road within
the valley of the Tonne-see, is that between Gun
ter’s and Detto’s Land ng. On this pert of the
river, a very high spur of Cumberisnd Mountain is
traversed hy tb* river, which has here worn for It
self a deep n irrnw chasm bounded on both sides by
perpendiculur, and in some instances, overhanging
prvc.p'vcci of nvk of the mint gigantic and formid
able appearance. Those precipices present them
selves alternately on tho nght and I- ft ofthe river,
protruding to its very margin. Intermediate to
these projecting promontories, and alternately on
both sides of the river are cove-like recesses more
or less capadiws, presenting low-ground flats, oc
casionally undulateo to the depth of 15 or 20 feet.
In times of freshet the water infringes forcibly
against esch promontory, and fe drflictod with great
violence, taking a direction towards the next cove
below it on the opposite side of the river. The
force with which it sweeps through the cove, carry,
ing with it immense bodiea of drift wood is so great
u to endangt-r tho a»ability of any stiucture that
might be reared fur the support ofa rail road above
the reach of freshets. Whde at the same time the
sinuosities of the river hills and the abruptness of
tbeir slope* preclad* th* pteuica' iii y of carrying
a rail road downward upon lh*ir *ido*. Hence wo
may foim some idea ofthe difficulties of an exten
sion in this direction were it ever so desirable.
With regird to anextens on from Gunter's Land
ing iu Nashville, the great obstacle in the way l« tha
main Cumheiland mountain, which here pre-onuifa
bug* form with slopes let* abrupt perhaps, but with
a summit quit# as high and broad n* thus* to bo
