"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."

That th* 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 term*, and would nt* object to tit* long credit, mil that when hi* heir ■hall epi'ly for puymont* to pos terity lie will be referred beck to antiquity. Tltal as a mnn'i hair, hulimsi to hi* heed SO hi* les'l •s a mnn’a hair* belongs to his bead so hi* bead should belong to hlv heirs t whereas, on th«* contra- ry, your petitioner has ascertained by n nice «j|i:il lation that one of bis principal copyrights will ex pire on the same day that his only sun should come of age. Tho very law of nature protest* against 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 bill introduced by Mr. Sergeant Talfiiurd, seeing tii.it by tlw present arrungemnnt posterity is bound to pay evrry luidy and «i y le«dy t-ut ihe true erodi m I'ot-eulng himsdf uf a congressional docu ment detailing the items »f the contingent expenses of Congress, he hx* discovered that among other things, tba peoplo'* money haa defrayed the ex pense of a carpet for the hall of the House of Re presentative*! that snuff for tbo us* of member* waa also paid for out of the public purse I and, mora astounding still, cartridge peper ami folder* and seal* to make up pan »f the account.

If this ig- noranc* la aa unaffected as that which lictrayi itself otfdioarily In th* lalmrs of this •' Whig" editor, he haa cause of complaint against hi* congressional friends, in a matter touching which they have not hitherto been suspected of negligence.

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. lb# Wetumpka and Selma Rail Roads have been arrayed in panoply a d brought into the field aa competitor* with thu Western and Atlantic Rail Ho.id lor tlie Wcsti-rn trade. We have been told that thest* rivals will *upplant our great work, un- less tho Gunter's Laud.ng route should take prece dence of tho route adopted. In reply, it tn.iy to observed thut both of these routes unite iu the vat* ley of Coosa river, ncur the mouth of Will*' creek, und in order to pas* thence to Gunter's Landing, must unavoidable pass Snnd Mountain, by the aid of inclined planes no less numerous und abrupt than those in tho route ftom Cassvilla tuGunter's Land- before niunlioncd. separating THE EAST, from the Middle and West nearthe mouih of Brown’s Creek.

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.
