GENERAL MERCER. i The remains of tho Into Gen. Huoh Mxrckr, of Va., who was savagely murdered by a relentless aoldlofy at' the battle of Princeton, worn to have been removed on Thursdny last, from Christ Church, in Philadulphlo, to Laurel Hill Cemetery, where the St. Andrew’s Society of that city have ortated a Monument, worthy of the illustrious sol- dier. Tho first Troop Oily Cavalry, who fought at Frinceton, (or rather their predecessors in arms,) would bo the guard of honor of the escort propercon* silting of the Societies of St. Andrew's and of the Thistle, invited strangers, (including Col. Mercer of Fredericksburg, Va., tho son of the deceased General and his tamily,) and officers of the United States of every arm. Wo annex a brief nutico of the gallant Scotch man! GENERAL MERCER. Tho following biographical notice of this merito. xious officer is taken from the Encyclopedia Atnerl. const Hugh Mercer, a brigndier general in the Ameri can revolutionary army, was a native of Scotland. He was liberally educated, studied medicine, and acted as a surgeon's assistant in the momorable battle of Culloden. Ho emigrated from bis country not lofig after, to Penn-ylvania, but removed to Vir ginia, where he settled and married. He was en gaged with Washington in tho Indian wars of 1775, Sc.; and bis children are in possession of a meditl which was presented to him by tho corporation of tho city of Philadelphia, for his good conduct in tho expedition against un Indian settlement, conducted by Col. Armstrong, in September, 1756. In one of theengagents with tho Indian*, Genoral Mercci was wounded intho right wrist, and boing separated from hii party, ho found that there was danger of his being surrounded by hostile Indians, whose war whoop and yell indicated their near approach. Bo coming faint with losi of blood, bo took refuge in tbe hollow trunk of n large tree. The Indians came to the spot where he was concealed, sealed them selves about for rest, and then disappeared. Mercer left his hiding place, and puriuud his course through a trackless wild of about one hundred miles, until he reached fort Cumberland. On the way he sub aisted onthobody ofa rattlesnake, which ho mot and killed. When tho war broke out between tho colonies and the mother country, ho immediately joined the American standard, relinquishing an ex tensive medical practice. Under Washington, whose fnvor and confidence he enjoyed beyor.d most of his fellow officers, he soon reached the rank of brigadier-general, and, in that command, distin guished himself, particularly in thu battles of Tren ton and Princeton, in tho winter of 1676-7. • In the affair of Princeton, General Mercer, who commanded tho van of tho American army, after exerting the utmost valor, and activity, had his horse killed under him; and, being thus dismounted, lie was surrounded by some British soldiers, with whom, when they refused him quarter, ho fought desperately, until he was completely overpowered. They stabbed him with their bayonets, inflicted so vcral blows on Ids head with the but eud of tlit-ir muskets, and left him for dead on tho field of battle. He died in about a week after, from the wounds in his head, in the arms of Mqjor George Lewis, the nephew of General Washington, whom tho uncle commissioned to watch over his expiring friend — The mangled corpse was removed from Princeton, under a military escort, to Philadelphia, and expos ed a day in the coffee house, with the design of excitiog the indignation of tho people. It was fol lowed to the grave by at least 30,000 of tho inhabi tants. General Mercer, though a Hun in battle,was uncommonly placid, and almost diffident in private life. Ho was beloved and ndmired as an accom plished, polished, and benevolent gentleman: Gene- gal Wilkinson, in his Memoirs, observes—"In Gen- ,cial Mercer we lost, at Princeton, a chief, who, for -education, talents, disposition, integrity and patrio- * tism, was second to no man but the commander in chief, and was qualified to fill the highest trusts of she country." General Mercer wns about 50 years of age when be thus perished. [foil THE GEORGIAN.] THE ATLANTIC AND WESTERN RA ROAD. In aa artlcla in tbe Charleston Courier, headed Protpeett for Charleston and Savannah, ofter atatlng the exports of domestic produce from Balti more for tba year to be nearly $5,000,000, and mentioning that tho Baltimore American “ in mi- verting to tba above encouraging fact, and in com menting on the effects to be calculated on from the system of Rail Roads and Canals now in progress in Maryland," asserts, " from this time forward tha course af Baliimoro is steadily and surely on ward," tho writer proceods by contrast, saying, “ the exports of Charleston and Suvannah reach in the aggregate to $33,208,340, nearly five times the amount of the value of tho exports fiom Baltimore, while the population of tho two former cities togeth er la less than one half of tho population of tho hit ter," " These facts, ho suites, speak volumes and •hew wliat are the prospects in embryo fur both Charleston and Savannah, if the citizens of the two placet «ut understood their interests, and display the earns energy and enterprise which characterize our more northern naigblsori."

Wholo No. 01. esto, when, at tbe Knokvllle Convention, the Certs- lina Delegates opposed the admission of tbe Geor gia Delegation to state In the Convention. If tbe Chsriestoelans then thought the admission of Geofa gia unfavorable totbllr interests, we eannot now how tbe acceptance of the tallowing, no doubt intended proposition, can beuefit SuVattnttb, vial “ We, (Cberleaion and Bavannth it ia presumed,) are on the road to the West by the shortest and most preferred inland route, and a continuous road, (though both Charleston and Savannah might meet at a common point in tbe interior) would bs belter for both places and more animating tu tba trade of the South, than if but one of tbe cities enjoyed tba exclusive benefit of the communication." These are certainly atranga ideas to originate in Charles* ton. The writer Cannot recollect the pretensions of his city to be the Commercial Quaen of the South; though it would appear from his proposition that he has some knowledge of the want of patriotism and State pride exhibited by a few Georgians, who, a few years since, at least teemed to yield to this high pretension at our sister city. Our enterprising Northern sisters who have been so long contending in energetic rivalry, understand this matter better than our friend Onward, of the Courier. We would rather imitate their example than take his advice. New York does not thiuk tho union Of Boston with her interior and Weatem route* at At bany will bo beneficial to her trade, nor even to Northern commerce. And we, liko her Mr. On ward, do not think that tho meeting by Rail Road of Charleston and Savannah, on tho way to tbe West, at a common point in the interior would be better evon, if perchance, more animating for our trade or for Southern commerce. It waa urged by Charlestonians (if not by you Mr. Onward) and a few fainthearted Georgians, but a short time since, that it would not answer for the South to have two large commercial depots—that they would rather enfeeble eech other than compete with the Northern cities. Although as a true hearted Georgian wa were unwilling to accede to that proposition when Charleston was to be hold up as the Commercial Queen of the South { yet knowing that Georgia pos sesses “Me shortest and most preferred inland route to the West, and tho port the best and the most easy of access in the Southern States, we will* since Charleston seems to be relaxing in her high pretensions,,yield to that principle and nominate Savannah as the most eliglblo and available candi date for that post, and invite your hearty and zeal ous support, and if your gallant and chivalrous city will give us her oid, we will together, “ with theele. ments or wealth and prosperity we have within our- selves" soon establish a Commcrciul Queen at whose Court Foreign Commerce will o’re long come, bowing and scraping to the South as well as the Notth, to our beautiful sisters of the West as well as SAVANNAH. XFrom the Charleston Courier.'] PROSPECTS FOR CHARLESTON AND SA VANNAH. In an article in tbe Courier of yesterday morning, headed " Export trade of Bnltimure," the export of domestic proaucofor tho year is estimated at “near ly five millions of dollars.” The American, In nd verting to tho above, calculated on from the system of Rail Ronds andCanal» ; now in progress in Mary Innd.snyi—" From this lime forward, tho course of Baltimore is steadily and surely onward."

Wa Insert this morning tha rates which the Edi tors ef tba morning papers haws agreed to adopt front and after the first day of January neat. The principal and only material attention, but one which many of our advertisers will consider ▼ary Important, is the dispensing with the system of advertising by contract, a system very lucrative, w^have reason to believe, to the man of extensive business, who too often exceeds the limits which another system would prescribe. Another person following the same business is compelled to pay the same amount for a contract, wbon be may not tran sact one half or one third of the business of the for mer individual. To abolish such an unequal system, therefore, is to place our advet rising customers on the tame footing. None but a very captious indi vidual could object to our course, if reflection is al lowed Its due woight. The Charleston morning pnpeit have long since found it indispensable to adopt a similar course. How much more necessary then is it for us, whose position is in a city, whose population (though rap. idly increasing) is far behind that of Charleston, and consequently whose newspaper patronage ia considerably exceeded by thntof a more populous bomtnublty,tadoJlk«wt*«. - —-— But another consideration prompts us to the change. It is this. When we first ntsumed the conduct of the Georgian, nearly eight years since, our expenses were not by any menns equal to what they now ura. Every consecutive year increas- es our expenses. From this day wa expect to add to them mnterially, and anticipate further additions, if sustained by the patronage of an enter prising and intelligent community. Although tho Colton Crop in our State may be one half as large aa heretofore, or evon one-third, as some prophesy, still our honvy expenses must bo met, for tho Press must bo worked, and when screws or the Press itsolf breaks, the honest me chanic who aids in supporting it by his patronage, must bo called in to repair damago*. Hu wants cash fer bis labor, and cash ho must have, If wo had to go without our dinner. At tho end of tho week, the Printer, who lias toiled day and night almost, to spread tho nows bo. fore you, advances his ciuims. They have always, wo aro proud to say, (and for this wo thank the promptness of thoso customers who turned not off our collector,) boon liquidated, If it left us with threo and a half pence in our pocket. So it ia w ith all those in our empluym But wo have often looked to see wlmt was the reward of tho Editor for Isis daily and nightly toils, and we have often found, aftor liquidating accounts of Paper Maker, Typo Founder, Printers, Clerk, Pressmen, &c. &o. &c. that his reward was ms- nue—plue a butch of promises, seldom or nover re nlized. We tolled, with all our energy, for two years with a partner, and our reword was so insignificant for neglecting lucrative professions, that either of us, rather than carry on the Georgian together anoth er year would have almost given away his interest to the other. It fell to our lot alono to cater for the public, with some months intermission at inter vals, and almost six years havo we done It under the hateful contract system, dragging, os 'twrre, a lengthened chain along. That wo could have satis fied (he publio belter with editorial assistance there can be no doubt, If aid had not been donied us by the unequal compensation w* received from some of our yearly advertisers. We procured assistance for one year, and although our columns were improved we were glad to abandon it, ns our Subscribers end Ad vertisers who pay in promises, did not smile‘on our exertions, and left us “ to pay the Piper.'* No! wo hove suffered under the contract system long enough. Unjust as it is, wo would saorifico our last dollar to abulish it. It has cramped our energies, compelled us to labor almost alono for a trivial reward, and required us to defer improve ments which wo anxiously desired. Under these circumstances we have been overy joar dinning to remove this vompyre from our bosom, but in tho ef fort singly wo felt that it might be the effort ofdos- pe ration. Until now wo have never found any of tho Frater nity willing to bring back the system to ancient principles, so as to derive that quid pro quo, to which every man is entitled. We have of late found that the Editors of the Republican cuincido with us in opinion, and ate satisfied that under tho present system of contracts we would bo throttling each other for the amusement of a few. Tito rates submitted have been adopted with refer ence to those of other Southern commercial papers, but have been placed even lower titan the rates of thuse which fromtbeir position derive a more exten sive patronage. The deductions offered are liberal. The rules applicable to delinquent Subscribers aro such su necessity dictates. Wo would keep thorn forever on our books, could wo live on promises. Afraid of extending our remarks to loo great a length we refer to our RATES, 1. Advertisements will bo charged 75 cents per square fer the first insertion and 50 cents for every continuance. Weekly, semi-weekly, tri-weekly or monthly Advertisements will be chargod 75 cents per square for aach insertion. Twelvo lines or less are considered a square. 2. When n Bill in six months exceeds $50, a de duction of 15 percent will be made; when itoxrecds $75, 20 percont; when ilexcoed»$l00,25percent; and when it exceeds $125, a deduction of 30 per cent will bo made, provided the Bill is paid wnc presented, or within a reasonable time thereafter. 3. Advertisements of Apothecaries and Booksel lers will be admitted for $100 per annum, but they are to ba confined to their legitimate businoss, and after the first insertion tha Advertisements are to be placed upon the outside of the paper. Advertise ments of Patent Medicines will be inserted yearly fo $100 per column. 4. All Obituary Notices exceeding six lines will be charged as Advertisements, and all Notices of Weddings will be charged One Dollar, to bo paid for, when handed in. 5. AllCommunicationsrccommendingcandidates for offices of trust and profit, or puffing public exhi bitions, and all those, the effect of which is to pro mote private interests, will berharged as Advertise ments, and they must invariably bo paid for in ad vance. 6. No transient or merely occasional Advertise ment will be insetted unless paid for in orivanco, excepting those of Officers of the Courts, who will be required to settle their accounts in November and April of each >car. 7. All other Advertisements from the country or places out of Savannah must be paid for in ndvance, unless their publication be authorized try on agent in the city, who will be responsible for the payment. 8. No Paper will bo sent gratuitously to any per son whatever, and in no case will Papers bo given away, exceptto masters of vessels or steamboats. • 9.

It is to be hoped that such greediness for office will bn a sufficient ground for their rejttction by tho new administration, without any other cause." The patriotism of some Whigs reminds Us of tho story of the Farmer and the Lawyer. Although not exactly analogous in tho Incidents, the loud pa triotism of the former much rciembless the strict justice of tho latter. The Lawyer was very anxious to havo justice rendered to the Farmer, until he foupdil was his Bull that gored tho honest Farmer's Ox. So it is with mnny Whigs. They would ex claim against ilie removal of q faithful public officer, for opinion's sake, unless they wished for their pre* clous solves the salary of this or that office holder.

On learning an officer was on board the bark de manding the papers, Captain Gilbert and the super cargo, Mr. Sexton, proceeding to go on board, found their vessel in possession of on officer und crew from H U M Brigantine Dolphin, utio refused ibpm ad mittance on board, denying thorn so much as a trunk of weuring nppnrel. Returning to the shore, Cap tain Gilbert, through tbe American Consul, address ed the commander of the Dolphin, also tho Dover nor; the former returning his leltoi unopenod, nnd tho latter declining any interference in the business. During the following day (Sunday) tho cargo of thu bark was overhauled, every part of tho vessel ran sacked, and the money taken un board tbe Dolphin, with other articles, such as shoes, tobacco, &a, and the latter distributed among the crew. During Sun day night the barque was taken off, under cimrgo of a lieutenant, midshipman and eight seamen from the Doluhin, together with tho cook, steward nnd male belonging to the barque, leaving tho remainder ofthe crew on board of tbe Dolphin; one of whom, a boy, being on ahoro the morning the Ann M’Kim sailed, confessed, that ell they found on board tho barque, was five setts of hand cuffs, (an unusual small number fur a merchantman,) three wooden spoons, bought by the steward on the coast, a quan t'ty of codfish, upon which tho British officer stated, he had on one occasion seen slaves fed,—together with a few baitings on on* »id*ofiho vessel to Keen a quantity of powder dry when originally shipped at Boston; these were tbe only items discovered to lusiify them in their proceeding*. L quoi wns to .ten on board the barque, ond tho mate kept in a state of intoxication most of tho timo.

Shortly tafure,theCoptain,tbe commander of tho brigantine, meeting Captain Gilbert oh shore,occos ted him iir the street, and abruptly demanded his manifest. With this exception those wns no commu mention with any one belonging to the baik except the mutinous mate and crew. Tho men left on board tta Dolphin werounoim fortably situated, from the fact of a part of them do dining to say the barquo was not bound, neither had been, on any illegal voyngo.
