Yesterday ia th® Horn®, Mr. Day, th® Speaker,
bring abscar, npoa the aaroed ballotiing fur Speak*
rrfr* tan., Mr. JuritiMof Richmond, wits elected.
Mr. Millen moved to rtr-coniidcr so much of tho
Journals of Seturlay, aa relates to the vote, not
adopting the rep-rot of the committee on Public
Education, in relation to the bill latriug ewny from
riro University nf Georgia the present annual appro
priation of $6000. He supported hta motion by a
short speech, but the motion did not succeed by
two votes. I am afraid lliai this ia a bad sign, und
one too truly indicative of ihe iticceii of the bill it-
*elf. which is the special order of the dty for Thurs
day next. In riro Senate, y.-s'erdny, an attempt was
made to rrocousider tiro bunk bill.ufihe loss of which
in it* modifimi and ohjccriomible sliupo I informed
you in my letter of SntU'day. Tiro Simate refused
to rcHumsider, so by the rules of the Legislature,
nciihcr Uiut bill, nor any similar in substance can
be again (nought before that binly this susiion.
In neither Home, yesterday, wn* there any holi
ness of gi-m-nil importance. To-day the bill im*
posing an ad valorem and cupitutinn lax, for
purp isc* specified in that bill, came up. Till* bill
nasimrod'iced by the joint select c ommltte®,
whom wa* referred the report of ihe Commissioners
of Finance, (Mussrs. Berrien, H.dt, and Chappell)
in pursuant*.* of the recommendation in that report,
to provido mean* for the State to meet Iror pecuniary
obligations past k to come. A more important subject
certainly could not come before the Legislature in the
present emhurrasReil condition of the State Finance*.
Can it bo believed, that uuon n su'iject requiring
1 lie g catest dulihcruion und nuking tiro highest
abilities, one, in whi.'li tiro honor 0* well a* tiro in
terest of the Stntc is involved, n motion whs made
to lay ii upon tho tnlilo for riio Imlun e of tho ses
sion? This morion you know preclude* all debute •
not a single explanation n« to tiro merit* of the Bill
cnnbfl made; the question is decided simply by the
voice*. The motion was carried. I »hal! make
no commentary upon till* at present. There w ill.bn
un uppoituuity for the House to retrieve its char
acter to-morrow morning by reconsidering.
The bill introduced by Mr. Millen, 10 incorporate
the Savannah l'hieuix Steam Suw Mill Company,
passed to-day in the House.
In the Senate, th.< hill re|»eoling the Poll Tax wbs
lost; also a hill plncing tho guilty party in Divorce

Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city,
.24th July, 1839.
Sill,—Agrecuh'y to your request, I h ive endon-
voured to urrive at suiuu e.liilt <te of rim trade,
which wniild ensue between your city and South
Carolina, if bridges wore erectnd over the waters
of the Sivunn-ih.
I prefer adding, howev.-r, the opinion* of gentle
men intimately acquainted with tho South East of
tiiis Slate, to giving one in detail of my own alone.
Mr. N—, formerly n surveyor, in Beaufort Dis
trict, nml Mr. L—, likewisu iniiin'itely a "quaint-
cit with the three upper Parishes of that district,
Irove favoured me with thoir opinions. These
guutlemoii enter into ca'-cul.itions uf riio number of
wngnii*, carts, pleasure carriages, &c. &c., show-
ing that at n low toll, about ten thousand might Iro
expected n* the iuenne,from the bridges now. with
a prospective increase. Their joint letter to me is
forwarded herewith.
After ull that can, or may Iro sntd, estimate* of
this kind, must (a# thesn gentlemen observe) be
merely conjectural, yet ns wnll located bridges
have always been found tooxeecd in profit, the ex
pectation* nf their most sanguine friends, it i* rca-
•>» tilde to conclude that their estimate it rather
under than overwlmt will go to your city, if bridges
should be erected.
Tho extent of country, however, which from its
locality .and other circumstances seems likely to be
connected with your city in trade, in such event, is
more easily defined. This is hounded hy riro Sa
vannah on the South, and tho BigSulkahatchie and
Cnmbuhee rivers on the North—tbo lower end ef
• his section un tho East, nnd the middle of Barn
well district on tho West—being nhnitt ninety
m lcs in length, and of un nvenige hreudrii of from
forty fivu to fifty miles, mid having u papulation uf
near fifty thniitaiul—no part of which is more than
eighty miles from your city. Besides this, whan
tiro Cumhnhcc and its tributary, the Big Sulknlnt-
chic may be low, you might expect considerable
trade ftom the lower part of Onmgeburgh, und tiro
iijqinr part uf Cidleiuu Districts. My reasons for
believing that a*. c<tu«iJcrabla a portion uf South
C‘nmlii.n, would trada with your city, if the con
templated bridges were errcicd, rather than with
Charleston ore, that tho nrost remote point in the
section named, i* much nearer you than Charleston
—1 lint from the Camlmhco nml iis tributary, tho
Big Salknlmicliie to tlio Savannah, the country is
even nnd susceptible of being traversed by tho host
of road*, many nf which ulreudy exist—that there
is no whI.*i course to obstiuci the iiitcnroursn, but
llmt of tiro Coosawntchie, and thi- may ut till tim.-s
he snfoly crossed hy the luidgo hi the village of tho
sum-.- name, nr ford, d leu miles further up by such
ns go liom above llmt point—tliut the shore* of tlio
Ci'iiibaliee and its tributary from being very low,
aro subject to wide and deep ttiuudathms, making
travelling nt ti.nes impracticable—that ihe Ashnpuo
is likewise not much better, and the Edi-to i* quite
as bad—and tliut tiro mads beyond the C'uinbubee
are sandy, deep ami heavy, to such a degree u* to
I'm bid much improvement, oven if it should bo at
tempted.
As 10 the resources of the country, which I have
mentioned no one who knows the fertility uf lands
n Black Swamp, (within less than furty miles of
your Exchange)—tho lamls on the Coosawatchie
and other smallei stream*, and that tho pine lands
on this side ore better than on the other, and also
th" general opulence uf tho poople,will doubt that
more trade may be si-curod on ibis side than all
you have on the other side of the Savannah put
together.
Hermit me to add ihut formerly the scheme nf
bridge might have been treated us a question of
mere expediency, but that nuw abridge has be
come indispensable to your prospariiy. Savannah
lm» evidently outgrown the country sround,ir to such
an extent, that avery article of food is on tho most
limited scale to the demand, and at prices of an
Inm-lrcd per cent on former tales. If a greater
supply be not obtained, your city must rather da-
crease riiun increase in (ropuhitinn. Hnd it is to this
siJe alone that you can look fur that supply.
I ought to apologise fur my delay in complying
with ynur request, and hope I do so, by saying that
l had business te attend to, that I could not post
pone. With great respect, Ac. See. • *

— THE BRIDGE.
Mr. Editor :—The Savannah river Is tn the com
mercial life ofQeorcia.whnt the main artery in tiro
pliy-icul system is te animut life: and impediments
to tho five course of the first, would Iro as fatal to
the system tbronch whirh it circulates, audio which
it gives vigor and oxiswnce. at the rinsing of the Int-
mild Iro to the functions of thn body physical;
paralysis nnd death would be the consequence in
either ca»e. With the truth »f this axiom strongly
impressed upon my mind, I m iy perhaps Iro par
doned for again intruding my opinions before the
public. Whan vital interests are at stake, all diffi.
denre should vnnLh: nnd every member of the body
whnse interests ore in question, should stand bold-
ly up in the f ap he is fitted to fill, and take his
share in tlio contest. In a former article, I at
tempted to .how that a bridge was not nt all ncces-
sary to accomplish the so much desired communi
cation wuh South Carolina: th.t a much cheaper,
equally effective, nnd far more expedient substitute
was wi-hio our reach, that the greatest objection
to the bridge was tiro certain obsttuction, and pr.e
speedvo ruin of our river. I expected thntMess
grave positions would have been as gravely an-
slotted. 1 hnd, in my mind, complimented tiro
friends nf tho hrtdgn with the supposition, thnt they
wore prepared with something in the shnpo of argu
ment, to show that these (curs were totally ground-
l-t-s or unneccirnrily magnified. But judge of my
mortifiention, when I am only met with elaborate
disquisitions on tho doctrine of voting according to
laxuhlo property. Having conjured up tho chinvia,
tlint this mode of voting will be proposed by the
opponents of tho bridge on Saturday next, a writer
io riro R'.pubticau ol Inst evening pursues this
phantom of his own creation, through the several
windings nnd mazes which his excited irnaeinaima
dings and mazes which his excited imnginaiK
ms to see it flying; on, 6n it glides through
banks, rail roads nnd joint stork compnnie*—and
is the W'-rd with tiro rlrnnpion of tiro bridge.
Tho men is kept up with uiuliminished vigor from
A to B, ami from B to the end of the nlphnl.pt; tiro
fifteen gallon Is w seems to have, fur a moment, ar
rested tin* curse of the pursuing und tlio pursued:
a cry of triumph loir-ts from the former—a deadly
•III list is aimed, ttoi tit tlm opponents of the bridge,
hut at. tlw* shadow—the whole rhnsm is in nn in
stant dissolved: the dreamy delusion vnnislros, nnd
the champion honestly conlc«n*s,ihnt ufter all he be
lieve* it to have been “nn idle rumor.” One that
is content to exerciro his VHlor upon such game,
will never want for subjects: hut he never can do
any good to the caoso lie i*s|ii*ms**s. and *» fur ns his
action mny be said to have any influence at all io tiro
case, it mny be reckoned to assist his opponents—
for the reason, thnt a feeble sally betrays the weak
ness of the garrison. Having slain this giant,
which turned out to he n wiua sffin, our eirant
Knight seem* to espy another, of n texture equnlly
substantial, and just n* remote from Ids proper sub
ject, the bridge, as the first: but dirt men and prox
imity *. cm ull one to him; and with the “ mon
strous doctrine that public interests, und the pros
perity of n great community, nra to succumb before
private views” for a hobby, ho si ems ready, in his
eag. rocs- for the fight, to splinter a lance with
frirttd or foe. In the bent of his animation he in
vokes tlio tariff, lund question, sub-treasury and
specie—but none of them appear te answec^lii*
cal.—lenrt of ull the latter.
The course of va our, like that of true love, never
yet run smooth, nnd so our writer finds it in his
case. Having run Id* hobby off its legs, Iro lucki'y
stumble* upon ihe happy theme of vested rights, a
question which lie gravely says '* tlio sooner wo
bigin to understand, the bettor.” Hern I perfectly
agree with lit-* gentleman, and if the opponents of
tha bridge ini-lit r.-st in quiet, until he m isters tiro
sohj.Tt, they are not likely soon to be.disturlied.—
Somewhere hereabouts ho di*coven that the "sim
plest process tor a papular essay will bo to pm*
reed from oiu* right to another until wo come i»
rite stockholders of n canid!” So it would bo, iftlro
popular e**uy happened to lie upon such a series of
suhp'rts, hut n*-t if it should chance to turn upon
the expediency of building a bridge across a naviga
ble river, and the grand point in debate should be,
whether such a airurturo would, or would not
destroy, or materially injure tiro navigation of that
river. When the Intter should be the subject, most
people would think thnt nn es*ay upon vested rights,
and the pursuit of tho subject, in limine, until a
cunnl siockhahl'T brings up the writer, would be
somewhat out of place. A render of tho article now
under remntk, might reason «hly have hoped, that
this mas* of learn p d matter safelv gone through, ho
would come at last to thn matter in hand, nnmely c
would tho contemplated bridge ba nn obstruction;
if nny. why not; but whnt does he get instead?—
simply thi*, that one Engineer is good as another,
if not hotter—that his Engineer built a bridge
acres* the Ogechae! No one doubts the ability of
the Engineer Im a'bides to—he is cupnble, no one
denies, of building another Rialto. But where
the similarity nf tiro cases, Irotwucn the Ogccheeand'
the Savannah, so fur as tlio question of obstruction-
and it* consequences giro* / Whntgreatrommercial*
city in tho immediate proximity nf the bridge over*
the Ogechoo, is endangered by tiro obstructions it-,
may create. I do not p-rr.nive anything satisfactory-
in thi* mode of evading the great question.
Again, tha writer aforesaid asks in way of argu
ment, whether itisat all probable thutnti Engineer-
capable uf laying out rail road*, nnd rail road bridg
es, should not he acquainted with the peculiarities
of the Savnnnuh river, if there are nny! This is cer
tainly a mnsterph cn in its way, nnd should be trea
sured up by the curious, for its oddity; a reader
might have his hope* n littlo revived again when ho
comes to tho next paragraph—"as to the under
estimate*—expense—and pro rata taxation.”
Nuw, thinks the simple render, we shall have
something in the form of reply to the points ho thus
enumerates—but alas l no such thing—ho calmly
tells ut that Iro shall con.Mar these points a* well as
those of borseboats, *taumbools, and tiro tingle bt idgo
plan another time H
On# word to our facetious friend in tho Republi
can of Saturday lost: I m**nn him, who generously
volunteered to do a certain portion of tiro wind work
of the bridge, und who has subsequently so amply
redeemed hi* pledge. If that portion of ibe work Is
