“ Savannah River.”
By the article ap|>ended below from the Georgian
of Nov. 16th, we are glad to see that efforts are mak
ing to remove the old wrecks sunk during the revo
lution, and other obstrutions in the ship channel of
the S tvannah river. The removal of these wrecks,
and the i nproveuient of tile river otherwise is a mat
ter of the first importance to the people of Gei rgia.
And in connexion with the great chain of ilail Road
completed and in progress, extending from Savannah
to the Tennessee and Mississippi \ alley, and tile
vast and fertile regions of country that will fin 1 upon
the completion of these works an outlet tor their pro
ductions, an I an entrance for their foreign supplies
there, the removal of these wrecks therefore becomes a
matter of great concern, not only to the people of
this but to those of the adjoining States. Let the
River be improved below the city so that vessels of
the largest elass will have no diffi tilly in getting to
the w'l trfs oftlic city. This a Ided to the a Wantages
of a salubrious climate. and speedy communication
w':;h 1 to interior, would give anew impulsion to the
firtunes of the city of Oglethorpe. We commend
the subject to the consideration of a>ur Representa
tives in the Legislature, anj members to Congress,
an! trust that a sufficient appropriation will lie made
by Congress at its next session to crown the undor
t.i.kin ' with su'Cess. The southern tales, Georgia,
particularly, has never vet had much aid from the
General Government in the improveucTit of Iter har
bors—and whilst thousands liave fteen annually ex
pen led upon tile i nprove.tient of harbors in the
Northern and nid lie -Slates, of little i nport-inee ci
ther in a com nerciil or n uion.nl point of view, one
of the most i nportant harbors upon our South Atlan
tic sea board has been almost wholly neglected.
The Savannah River.
“As tho condition of our River is one which af
fc-ts all classes in llte community, inasmuch as its
capacity to admit large vessels to our wharfs throws
upon our shores the products of foreign climes with
l|C 1 east cxpfii.se ol' importation, and thus mvigor

SpPcn’atinn upon Speeu'ation.
We have recently in conversation with
some of our business men, elicited so.ue
facts which are of so great importance to
our city, tltat we think it wortii win e to
name some ol them, that those interested
might inquire into their truth and govern
themselves accordingly.
It is said that the reason why so little
Cotton has been sent here lor sale from
Augusta this year, is, that it has so far
been monopoliz 'd by tSjM'culatnrs there.
Tu.it persous have obtained large loans
from the Hanks there, by drafts upon men
of straw here and at the North, and have
been speculating without limit upon a
prospect of a short crop. That having
gone almost as tar as they can there, they
have sent agents to Macon, who draw
on them, and invest the proceeds of their
bids in Cotton, at the highest prices. It
is ftu ther said, that one of the largest of
these operators takes the immne and lire
risk himself, on ail his purchases; so that
one cau*eosiiy see that if a I lank grants
loans, against Cotton, under these cir
cuinstances, us directors take great libei
ties with tiie property of the stockho ders.
When a 13 ink lends money to an indivi
dual upon his own re spun ini.ity only,
tiie le.ist its directors eou.d and >, we should
imagine, would he, to see Hint the colla
teral projierty was covered by insurance.
If the fuels are us communicated to us,
we regret exceedingly to -ee the evil
ti nes coming upo i us again, of wild
'P ‘dilation, kite-dying and inflation. —
Tn * avi's of 18-37 and 1 E3l, with the
excesses of local banning and trregmori
ties of local currency and lin uiciering,
are barely cured when anew outbreak
threatens to sweep us all down again.—
It only shows that there is no self regu
lalinif principle’, and that there needs
some sfrefti some check, such
as a National Bank to control the evils
of speculation and restrain excessive local ,
hank issues.
Opt ;t v of onr friends arive us more
information on this subject, piovidcd
what vve have now named are facts. It
is worth looking into belorc it is too late.

We yesterday had tho pleasure of pay
ing a visit to the bark Huma, Capt. Wil
lard, intended to knit together the land
of the loom with that of the plough in
commercial enterprize. She is a staunch
well built and beautiful vessel, with an
American prow, which, when afloat on
the broad bosom of the Atlantic, will
speak to her competitors, catch me if
you cm—beat me, you can't.
She is commanded by a seaman who
knows his business, aud while her capa
city is ample enough to accommodate
hods of friends, her light draught in
sures a speedy transit from wharf lo
wharf.
In ballast she draws only eight feet,
and when cotton loaded will draw only
ten to eleven feet.—She has comfortable
acconmiod tlinns for twelve passengers,
j and a very pieitsant and capacious cabin.
The Huma was but it by Amos Gran
-1 dall, Bristol, 11. 1., for Capt. Joseph L.
G ird er, of Bristol. Her tonnage is
! 3SD 33-V45 tons. Her length is 113 feet
3 inch s. Iler I team 27 feet.
The Ilumu h is floated into our waters
! from the shores of llhod : Island in five
| days, indicating that if necessar y she
will soar above clouds and storm, to re
pose with lightning speed on the peace
tul wave of t ie Savannah.
If she is encouraged, a second and a
third will spring, with sails set, to her
side, to contend for the smiles of those,
who are always proud to recognize and
foster .American enterprise.

“Ai. VAN BUiIFN.”
Short—for Air. Vax 13uue.v, almost a
phenomenon of brevity. But the distin
guished author was even then preparing
; his revenge, in the Indiana ex|>ositioii
which was so wide and so clear that it
was an actual fog hank of light. For our
part we have never for a moment doubt,
ed that Mr. Van Boren was in principle
opposed to a protective Tariti—we have
1 said so often. But it is a principle that
with him is not radical—that he hugs
not to his heart—that did not prevent
| his friend Mr. Wimght from voting lor
t.se tarili’of IS 12, while he too condemn
ed it—that did not prevent Mr. Van Bo
ren from allowing a protective tariff to
creep in, in his India.:a Letter, under
the head of exceptions—that did not pre
vent hi> friends at Syracuse from promul
gating ‘incidental protection” as their,
doctrine on licit subject. It the question
were given over to Mr. Van Boren, free
of till antagonist influences, to settle tor
the country, we really should have no
fear of the result. But as the head of a)
party, calculated to ways and means of
getting into office, we feel by no means ,
the same degree of confidence—we can
not say we have any exact opinion of
what he would do—we think his “ex
ce.itioius" uoild expand tearfully till
they might cover the wiioie surface, leav
ing it for in positive geologists to dig for
the principle beneath.
Tiie Athens (Go.) Bainer some time
since propounded to us certain questions
about our future course, and complains
that we have made no answer. We have
a lietter excuse than incivility, lor ne
glecting many .things within the la t
iortuight, that fall within our province.
And now we can hard y answer them
definitely, for we have them not, and re
tain but a din recollertiuu of their tenor.
But the Banner takes a paragraph of the
Hamburg Journal, declaring that it goes
,for Calhoun first, and if we can’t get
him, then for Clay, as some mrt of satis
faction to its doubts. We must interfere
with its repose on this matter —for we
entirely disagree with the Hamburg Jour
nal. We are not only not lor Clay, as
our second choice, but we are not for
him tit all. We not only prefer A lr. Cal
houn, but .Mr. Van Buren, ka.. Buchan
an, .Mr. Ctiss, Mr. Tyler, aye and Air.
Webster—if the Banner is curious as ft)
our Whig preferences. And this we say,
because Mr. Webster is neither a bigot on
the subject of Bank or Tariff, and has a
vastly deeper respect for the interests of
Commerce than his backwoods compeer,
who lives so near the borders of civiliza
tion that he admits himself he has not the
means of forming a rational opinion on
the merits of the present tariff law. We.
have no opinion of electing such igno
ramuses to high and responsible oflice.
Let them qualify themselves first, by
reading the newspapers.
But then, according to our dim re
membrance; the Banner dedres to know
what we mean to do as to the National
Democratic Convention ? As the ques
tion was based upon the assumption that
“the time for argument is past,” and ns
we entirely differ with our cotemporary
there, it is sufficient to say that we mean
to support what we think right, and op
pose what we think wrong—and as to
men, it is our opinion that the less we
swear by them, the less occasion shall we
have to swear at them. We mean to sup
port our principles, and when vve find
out what principles the Democratic par
ty are ging to support, we shall know
better what sort of fellowship there is to
be between us. —Charleston Mer.
A Veteran Pri<oner.
There lately died at CoblentZ, in the
prison called the Convent of the Carmel
ites, a man known by the name of “the
I old Frenchman with the white beard,”
confined there thirty-two years, of which
twenty-eight were voluntary. In 1811.
a soldierof the 2(Hh Regiment of French
Dragoons was discovered asleep, with
his head on his knapsack, in the forest
I of Coblentz, an I taken up as a deserter.
He declared his name to bo Antonio Aii
vors, a native of Aosta, in Bied no at, and
that he had received his discharge, with
it pension of 200f. a year, from being sub
ject to frequent fits of mental alienation.
The authorities left him temporarily in
prison. There he remained until the al
lied troops enteied Cohlentz, in 1814,
when an order was given lo send him
: and others to a depot of French prison
ers. This he strongly protested against,
declaring that he was not it French pris
oner, but an Italian discharged from the
service. In the course of the next year,
■ his father aud uncle arrived, obtained his
j liberation, and took him with them on
their way home. At a little distance
j from Cohlentz, he suddenly quitted them,
and return and to the prison, requesting
| permission to be allowed to resume his
j former quarters. This was allowed, with
1 full liberty granted him to go out when
he pleased. Notwithstanding this |>er
niission, he. never left his cell for twenty
eight years, and during that period never
asked for light or fire, no matter how se
vere might be the cold. He spent his
time in making hair rings, ivory thim
bles, box pa|ter cutters, arid other little
objects, which he so and to strangers who
c.*me 4o see him. He was seventy one
years old u! fit's death ; and having never
cut his board, which was very long, and
of exceeding whiteness, and being ol
lofty stature, he hud a most venerable ap
pearance 1 lie died worth 1,100 thalers,
(about 4,000f.) which he had saved dur
ing Itis imprisonment.
