“Truth has evidently been tlm objrtt ofthe nulhoi’s

Wuliuve been favored with tho following exiruci
of n lettel from our nctivo und indefiitignble Repre

ure of tho Northern Mull:—
“WASHINGTON, Nov. Gih, 1840.
My Dear Sir:—I received your letter, and nin
obliged loyou for it. I took tlm liberty of rending
it to Mr. Niles, llm Pail Muster General. Itriiew-
ed lo him conclusively, tlm deep interest felt by the
Soothoin Mereliunis in the regulurhy of tlm Mail,
He expressed himselfgrntified ut my coming on, und
promised all l-is aid, in making urrungemenu, tu
(uciliatc the iiuiispurlarion.
The failures, I doubt not, will lie less frequent,
even licforea Hi fluitive nrrangemeni slmll have been
resolved upon. For, ldons*nmyuu,ihutlhc prompt
determined course of iRo Mcrcliiinu of Charleston
has roused the Post Office Department, and not u
little alarmed tlm several Railroad Companies in
terested in carrying llm mails. I lmurd Air. Niles
say to one of llio officers of his department that he
had not exncted llm flues sufficiently severe, nnd tiini
ho resolved, iliut unless llm Companies soiled tlmir
disputes in u slant time, a now arrangement would
Im inado. These disputes are undoubtedly ihe prin
cipal causos oftlm failure ofthe mulls. 1 Imvo spent
most of my timo since leaving Charleston in endea
voring lo udjust the differences between the sc*oral
Companies. The Noilh Carolina Company tenton
four ofthe Directors with me to Portsmouth—(here
we had u long, vexutious. but ujiimutely successful
consultation tviili the IVrtsinouth Directors. It wus
family agreed lo sell to the Petersburg Company
one half the bridgo over lire Roanoke. This contract
requires the saiiciiun of ilm Petersburg Railroad
Compm-y, nnd although I naiicipiite some objection,
yet I think the agreement will ultimately becunfirin-
cd. 1 raid the Post Master General that I imd as
sured ilia Companies llmt unless they acit'ed thoir
differences tbo mails would bo taken from them.—
Ho sui-l I Imd done right, and bad no doubt my de
cision would operate well. 1 slmll obtain inf.n ma-
tion upon this subject perhaps this evening. My

poll i f operations on the Western nnd Ailinlitf
Builreud, during the 3d Quarter of 1840. Tha ao*
compuuying documents will explain in detail, tho
nature and cost of the work exer uteri.
From tho quarterly return herewith submitted, it
appears that tho work dona since tho 1st of July r
consists of 299,300 cubic yards of excavation and
embank merit, 3012 perches of masonry In bridges
und culvuita, 309,975 feet bd. mens, of bridge tint*
Lerddivuied, 18 treath* pier*ftnmed, and 5 erected,.
C72 feet of bridging erected, hesidea 511 feet of sit*
pet structure of bridges framed and prepared for
lairing. The umuotit paid for which, according to
routine s, it $71,597 42. In addition to this expen
diture-, there appears un tho return, as payable on
account of re-puiiing finished sections, $1,343 88,
From tlm abstract of final estimates, it appears
that the grading of six suctions, and tho masonry of
two bridges, viz: Etuuuh and Arina, have been
liui*h*'d du: ing the quurter. The amount of reserv
ed balances puitl on theireumpletiun hai been $18,-

Tlm total amount expended up to this date, from
the commencemont of operations, including surveys,
local ion, construction,repairs, the Engineer service,
11 various contingencies, i* $1,792,470 50.
Tho amount thu t will probably Le required to eom-
plots* tlm grading, masonry,and bridging or the road,
according to exi.ting contracts, is as follows:
For the i.t, 2d and 3d Divisions, $87,040 00

AUGUSTA, Nov 10.
To Ihe Honorable the Senate and House of Re
presentatives of the State of Georgia, in Gene•
rat Assembly met
Tho memorial ofthe under signed, citizens of Rich
mond county in raid State, respectfully sheweth:
That in the opinion of your Memorialists, the cur
ronry of the Statu is in such a condition as to require
llio interference ol tho Legislature.
Your Memorialists believe thnt tiie suspension of
Specie l’u} menis by tho Banks in 1037, wns n men
sure rendered unavoidable by the statu of rim conn
try. It became the duly of ilioso institution-*, when
iliut measure was forced upon them, so tn nr. .ige
their affaire ns to authorize an early nnd prrmnncni
resumption; for ns your Momorirlin. believe, noth
ing is more ruinous to any people than n protracted
depreciation of their circulating medium. Tho
Banks having lho active management of this cireu
luting medium, were plarod under high obligations
to tlm public, so to tannage it, us to render the p**ri
ml of suspension as brief ns p <iblo 5 nnd if, w ith n
view to iheir own temporary pn dt, nay of them have
continued so to expand tlmir issues as to render un
early resumption impracticable; such institutions
should bo rnuile to suffer the consequences of having
sacrificed o public interest totlieirown.
Your Memorialists believe, that nil ear hanking
instiiu'imis which have been managed with that de
gree of prudence und caution which tho *ti Jo of the
country required, are in a condition to resume Spe
cio payments at once. Those which Imvo no* been
so manuged, are not ontitled to lungnr forbaernnee.
And they would therefore respectfully recom
mend that n general and early resumption bo re
quired und enforced hy law.

A fire broke out !n<t evening, hottvren ten nml

We regret to irate, thnt Mr John Wall, a car; cn

and struck Ins head on tl 1* b uiquet, causing a so
vere concussion of the brain. He was in charge of

When wu take into consideration the immense

spr ing faking upon green embankments built during

ourselves upon tbo small expenditure which has
been necessary under this head. Moreover, we
must consider tin's expenditure advantageous, as
lending to diminish, in & great degree, tiie coat of
keeping up the road alter tire superstructure shall

expenso on a new road, will Lo quite inconsidera

To furnish you with detail* of Information reaped*
lug the operations during the Inat quarter, I extract
from thu Rupoi'ta of tbn Resident Engineers. Mr.
Stockton in chnrgoof tho 1st,2d, and pnrlof the 3d
Divi*it n, reports ns follow* t
“ Since tiie date of my last Quarterly Report,
Sections No. 13 and 14 ofthe Second Division, and
Section No 7 of the 3d Divi.ion,, have been com
pleted and accepted; tho metonry of the Etowah
und Arms viudur.ts have also been completed and
accepted, und finul estimates'cn each rendered.—
The mnsonry of the Vinnlng viuduct is progressing
rapidly, and gives every indication of being well and
nubsiuniiully executed. Tha foundation of the
Eastern abutment of the Noonday viaduct has been
excavuted, and In a few days the Contractor for lay
ing tho mnsonry, will commence operations, when
the woik will be proas cuted with nil reasonable die-
pulclr. During the past month n small culvert has
been introduced on the 11th Section of the Second
Division, iu cr.fer to draw off the large quantity of
surface water which collects in tho vicinity of that
section, after all heavy rftlns. Tho masnnry and
other work connected with the construction of litis
culvert, w ns dona hy tho repairing parry on (hit
part of the Rail Ruml, and charged to repairs.—
The taring and sanding of the flooring of the Chat-
tnhoucut-o viaduct, bus been seriously delayed during
tho past month, owing to tho unfavorable weather
which has pro vailed. About two thirds of. tho
flooring remains in an unfinished state, but a large
force is now actively engaged in iu completion. An
uticmpt wa* made to complete llio caulking of lho
above, prior to covering the same with sand and tor.
This plan, however, did not succeed, lho action of
thosiin ami rain causing the scams of the floor lo
open to such un extent, that 11 . cuulking of tl.o
snnrc hcrumu necessary. A verlrul contract for
such amount of tor us may bo required tocompleto
tho above, lias been made, lobe delivered as wanted,
ami on terms according with tlic lowest price yet
pnhl for fur on this work.
“ Alluf iho repairing pnrties have boendiachnrgcd
from this pint ofthe road, except two, which are
now t tnjiloyeil in the vicinity of Alluloona, nnd on
the Franklin embuukinont. It hus been n leading
object tu lesiaro thu heuviest embunkments to llrcir
proper grade, and hy thu construction of the proper
centre nnd truv.trsu drains, to plnco them in is state
to withstand thu rains, &c. of the ensuing winter.—
A recent inspection of this part ofthe road, warrants
mo iu the assertion, that with but n trifling uxcep -
linn on the Hih and 18th Sections of the Second
Division, the oMibnnkrncms ore in a good state of
preservation."
Mr. L. Tilton, temporarily charged with the stt-
pari mend mice of the 4th, and part of the 3J Divis
ion, reports, that, “ Upon tho Fifth Residency a re
f airing forco Inis been employed for the lu?t month,
is operations have thus far been confined to the
20th Section, where, in cnnsequonco of tho banks
Imvirig settled much more than could have been an
ticipated at thu time they w ere made, a largo amount
of work wns requited to raise them to the necessary
height. Owing to tho anmn cause, considerable la
bor will be required upon several oilier sections; but
should tlm wi-nthcr prove favorable, and an efficient
forco bo employed, the completion of the heaviest
portion within the present and ensuing months, may
be reasonably anticipated,
^ “The grading required upon the 25tlt nnd 26th
Suctions oftlio Third Division, in order tu raise the
embankments to lho requisite height, as iadicated
by the lust Spring freslieu, ims been contracted fur
by Mo-srs. Keef and Whitesides, and ihut on the
fourth section ofthe Fourth Division, by Hitchcock
& Cu. Tho masonry upon the latter section remains
in nearly tho sarrru state us nt the beginning of tbo
Q-.urter, tin* Contractor having been obliged to leave
tho work on account of sickness. It H expected that
he will resume operations in a few days, and proceed
with tlm work u* rapidly ns possible. The framing
of the bridge f.,r this section, os well as ihutpart for
the 25th si c i i.infthu Third Division, is completed,
nnd were tho masonry finished, would bo raised im
mediately.
" Towards ila* completion of the piers and abut
ments of thuOostunauley bruise, though a rrturrr of
mu-onry, -Stc. appears in the Quarterly Abstract,no
tiring Ims been done except tho quarrying of a fow
perches of rock. In explanation of tho return, it
maybe proper tn observe, that n new ami nccurato
calculation of the whole amount uf work done, show
cJ that there remained to bo returned, the number
of perches liter in specified, us alio ihuallowanco for
dressing pier ends and coping, in a manner supe
rior *0 that called fur by the terms ofthe original
c .ntrncl.
“ Upon the masnnry of the other parts ofthe Sixth
Residency, nothing Iras been dorm except upon that
nn tlm25»h Section, which is progressing slowly,
und will probably bee. mplctcd within the present
month.
“ There now remains unfinished the mammy if
eightiiriges nml ufclt culverts; in every cnae,except
at the crossing ofSwuinp Creek on the 19th Section,
it is more or |i-»m uilvnnccd.
*• Tlm number of Sect ions, thn grading of which
U stnftnUhod. Including three tm the Fifth Residen
cy upon which the grade is 'o he raised, is eleven;
six of which, logdiher with the masonry on tha I Jtli,
