Our resources are more ample,
nml our position is more favorable lor the
acc omplishment ol' this great work. We
have a richer treasury. Our territory is
I'ir more extensive, and contains a much
buyer I|uantity of fresh and fertile; soil.—
Our climate is more genial. To construct
her rail road, South Carolina must scale
^(■cp and rocky mountains; she must la
bour over long tracts of barren and iimun-
•t tinous country. The construction and
preservation of her work will require ex
traordinary skill and perseverance; and
will cost immense sums. But her citi
zens, with a generous ardor, with a high
*11,1 oallant determination, with a vi.tu-
•oiis, a nolde ambition to make theirCaro-
li n -t the first state of the South, have re-
gohc.t to endure every expense, to en
counter even' difficulty, to surmount eve
ry obstacle, and to complete a great wes
tern mil road in their state, in defiance of
the almost impassable harrier which na
ture has reared across their route. How
different is our position! The mountain
ridge which extends in an unbroken chain,
Irani the northern part of New York, and
kiimvn in different places as the Blue
Kidge, the Alleghany, or the Apallaeliian
Mountains, terminates.in Georgia; and in
travelling to the West, we. may pass a-
roitml its southern extremity, taking our
route through beautiful and fertile.vallics,
Jving longitudinally in our course. Thro’
these vallies, iti a large part of the dis
tance from the (Jhaltahoochie to the. Ten
nessee line, we may preserve almost a
perfect level, uninterrupted bv that ine-
(111:ilitv of surface, that irregular succes
sion of bill and hollow, which we find in
every other section of the stale, except
the pine region. The South Carolina
road, after it shall have passed the princi
pal ridge, will still he at a great distance
iroinanv country capable of furnishing a
valuable commerce; and in extending it
towards Cineinnutti, it. must be conduct
ed over a long tract of mountainous and
unproductive territory. But when the
Georgia route shall leave her own vallies,
on her northern frontier, its termination
will be lmt a few easy miles (seven we
believe) from that noble stream, the Ten
nessee river. The Tennessee will con
nect our rail road with till the other navi
gable rivers ol the West, and will open
toils the commerce of the whole vallev
of the Mississippi. If, with our ample
resources, we shall fail to accomplish a
work so easy ol completion, and so pro
lific of benefits to the state; if, entangled
by the snares of selfish cupiditv, or
thwarted bv the schemes of vile ambition,
Wf shall fi.il to fulfil the high destiny in-
dicated for our state bv beneficent nature,
a deep ami burning stigma will brand the
names of the Georgians of this genera
tion. Let every friend to the cause of in
ternal improvement exert a watchful
guardian care over Georgia’s greatest,
most magnificent, most profitable enter-
prize. Let the people determine not to
J^rmit a waste or misapplication of those
funds, which are competent to exalt their
state, to a pitch of glorious prosperity.

To the Editor <f the Federal Union:
1 lie State ot Georgia is about entering
upon a splendid plan of internal improve
ments bv rail-roads, and the main Stale
work will occupy the Cherokee counties,
ihen, sir, there will arise two or three
questions of magnitude to the builder or
builders of that great work, which are
these, viz:
1st. Which is the most eligible starting
place on the Tennessee line? 2d. What
course, or what ground will the road pass
which will consume the least capital in
constructing the road, and at the sam
time render the greatest service to the
country? These two last questions will
be settled by the experiments of the engi
neer on an actual survey of the various
routes.
I lay this principle, down as worthy the
consideration of those whose dutv .-hall
be to locate the road, viz: That vested
rights under legislative enactments in fix
ing iijKin and erecting the public building?
ol counties will be regarded with peculiar
carr; this the rights of the citizens hold
ing town properly in those places will call
tor, ns well as the interest of the stock
holders. The interest of the holder of
town property needs no arguments to veri
fy, but that of the stockholders does. I may
be asked, how it will be affected? To which
1 answer, that our county towns do the
greater part of the commerce or trade of
the country, and furnish the passenger
revenue to the rail-road. Then, if this be
the case, as the profits of the rail-road-ure
dependent upon the commercial commu
nity, so it will l>e the interest of the rail
road to touch as near as possible the resi
dence of this its dependence; the duties
and interest ot each are reciprocal.
Then, sir, let the rail-road be located
so as to pass as many of our countv towns
as is consistent with the rail-road or as
may not materially affect that interest to
prejudice.
I now come to the subject of the be
ginning upon the Tennessee line, and the
route through which the road may pass.—
It is well known that there is an obstruc
tion to the easy passage ol steamboats in
the Tennessee river just where the stream
passes through between the Lookout
mountain and the Cumberland moun
tain, called the “suck.” Then to obviate
this difficulty, let the beginning point be
tit the foot of the Lookout mountain. By
so doing, we get nearer the Tennessee
river than we can at any other point, and
at the same time create an opening for a
large and enterprising town upon the soil
of our beloved Georgia, the advantage of
which will demonstrate itself to every
reflecting mind. This advantage to Geor
gia can be made result to ns by tbe loca
tion ol the road. The road may be made
to leave this point and go to Rome, Flovd
county, bv the way of this place, in a
direction with little or no meandering.*,
from Rome it may pass bv or in the
vicinity of Marietta, Cobb county; and
thence to its point ofdestinat ion on the Chat
tahoochee river; thus taking in its course
three flourishing villages, one of which
bids (air to become a commercial town of
no inconsiderable magnitude. While on
the subject, I may suggest, that ns far as
my information extends, there are no hills
ol' consequence to impede the construc
tion of the-road from tbe Tennessee line
to Rome; and from tbe latter place to tbe
Chattahoochee, it is believed to be alto
gether practicable.
Should von not deem the foregoing re
marks inadmissible, you may insert them
in your valuable paper. WALKER.
FOR THE FEDERAL C XI OX.
Mr. Editor—1 wish to avail mvself
of vour journal to communicate to the
public a tew ideas touching a subject of
vital^ importance to my character as a
man. Unaccustomed as I am to appear
as a writer in a public journal, no con
sideration but self-defence, could induce
me to intrude on your notice; and I would
endure much and forbear long, before I
would take m v pen even Ibr this purpose.
But 1 have forborne until forbearance has
liecomc a fault, and in justice to myself,
and in justice to mv friends who are far
away, fain compelled to speak out, and I
hope to speak in such terms that I may
not be misunderstood by any.
It is a notorious fact, that certain indi
viduals have taken the responsibility to
circulate reports respecting me, or at least
respecting some individual identified
with mv name, which are calculated to
damn tne forever in public estimation,
however pure in reality mv character
may he. lain informed that it is current
ly reported—yea, “that it is on t lie
longues of’ everyone” that I am a rene
gade and a swindler, that I have runaway
from an amiable, wife and friends, none of
whom know where I am, &c. &e.
When these reports first came to mv
knowlcgc, I considered them unworthy of
attention; I looked upon them as tbe
chit chut of gossips, who make themselves
busy in intermeddling with the private
affairs, and slandering the characters of
their neighbors, and I thought myself a
victim only in common with others. I
considered mv character too well eslnb-
lislicd to be affected by the efforts of such
despicable animals. I thetefore remained
silent. But by some unaccountable pro
cess, my silence has been construed into
an acknowledgment of the truth of these
reports, even bv some who are well ac
quainted with my true character. It has
therefore become necessary for me to de
clare, which I do in the most fearless and
emphatic manner, that had th'c “father of
lies” himself in his most imaginative
moments exerted all his skill, lie could not
h ive fabricated a tissue of grosser false
hoods than arc these reports. They arc
fahe in, torn, thorp not being the least
shadow of foundation whatever on which
they could possibly be based.
I now call on those who have been in
strumental either in fabricating or circu
lating such reports, to show cause, if you
have any, for your conduc t. I challenge
vou to the •proof. You have burled your
shafts of defamation as ,hc cowardly as
sassin wields his poisoned dagger. Shrink
not from the responsibility. Publish your
proof to the world, or your silence shall
henceforth declare that you have acted
the part of base and despicable slanderers.

1 Front the Augusta Constitutionalist, 0th u!t.
U e have laid aside for the present
rome editorial matter prepared ibr this
day’s paper,lo publish what follows, taken
from ihe Columbus Herald of last Tues
day. And we do so with the view of cal
ling the attention of the people of Georgia
to the subject, that,, ifthey think it ofsuffi-
ciciit importance, they in.ty take it under
immediate and serious consideration, and
then adopt the most energetic measures,
m order to prevent or neutralize the fatal
consequences which inevitably will be
produced by the uncontrolled influence
Inc L tilled Suites Bank will excercise in
Georgia, through a local institution, the
capital of which is owned by it. With
the principal bank at Columbus, and
branches at Savannah, Macon, and
Augusta, the free and independent stale
of Georgia, will be made to bend to the
power of the United States Bank. The
people will become the mere agents of the
directors of that institution, and all our lo
cal batiks will lie compelled to follow the
dictates of, and the regulations prescrib
ed to them by, individuals who entertain
feelings, and will have interests diometri-
eally opposite to the feelings and interests
of our own citizens. The capital of the
Insurance Bank may he only $000,000;
but the whole capital uf the United States
Bank will be employed to support the op
erations of that local institution. Will our
local banks be able to contend against tui
institution supported bv a capital of $35,
000,000, with an unlimited credit in eve
ry important city of the Union? Will the
banks of Augusta be .able to contend a-
jainst such influence? Will the fieople
>f Georgia be able to resist the influence
that will inevitably be excercised over
our financial and, even political transac
tions? We earnestly recommend imme
diate action on the part of the people;
meetings should be held in cverv county of
the state condemning the estnblisment in
Georgia of the power of the United States
Bank through flic means of a local institu
tion, and recommending the call of an ex
tra session of the legislature, for the pur
pose of adopting such constitutional and
1 means, as may prohibit at once and
hereafter the introduction in the heart of
Georgia, of a power which must prove so
destructive to our public institutions, and
to the liberties we now enjoy; a power
more to be dreaded, because it will be
ttpporled by thirty five millions of dollars.
A branch oft he Insurance Bank is to be cs-
abh’sbed in Augusta. Shall we tamely sulw
mit to such an arbitrary measure? With
out consulting the citizens of Augusta;
without asking them whether they are or
tot desirous of the location of a branch a-
mongthcin, the! nited States Bank deter
mine on establising a controlling institu
tion in our city! And all this without
first ascertaining whether they would be a-
ble to find among onr patriotic citizens,
men to serve as directors, and assist,
as such in placing the state of Georgia at
the feet of a monied aristocracy, more to lie
dreaded than the sword and despotism of
a military dictator.
We are mortified that Mr. Biddle and
oeiutes in Georgia, should have be
directors for the principal bank, anJ for directors
and cashiers for the branches at Savannah and
Macon.
Dreadful Shipwreck and loss of lives.—A-
gain have we to record the loss of a vessel
on Long Island, within sight of Sandy
Hook—and it is said lost ONE HUN
DRED AND EIGHT PERSONS, out of
one hundred and sixteen, which composed
the passengers and crew. The wreck-
master has come up from the wreck, and
states that the barqe Mexico, 70 days f rom
Liverpool, for this port, went ashore on
Hempstead Bar, one quarter of a mile
from the shore, on Tuesday morning,
and only eight persons had lauded when
lie left.
We have since heard, but sincerely
hope it is not true, that the only persons
saved were the captain, one mate, 3 sea
men and 3 passengers. The others, it is
said, perished with cold.
This vessel was off’the Hook on Sunday,
firing for a pilot, but did not succeed, and
it is supposed that she put ashore for the
safety of the passengers and crew—being
short of provisions.
We are happy to state that the Under
writers have chartered the Pilot Boat
Thomas II. Smith, as relief boat to ves
sels that may he on the coast, in distress,
and that she sailed yesterday morning
with ample supplies.
The underwriters have also supplies of
provisions on board the news boat T. H.
Smith, to be put on board any vessels she
may fall in with in distress.—.Y. I r . M.

TIIE INSURANCE BANK.
This mstiiuiion lias changed hands, the char
ter having been purchased by a company of
capitalists, at the head of whom stands Nicholas
Biddle, Esq., president of the United Slates’
Bank of Pennsylvania. The capital has been
increased to six hundred thousand dollars, and
branches established at Macon, Augusta and
Savannah. The institution therefore, ns now
organized, will enjoy unusual business facilities,
having in its power at all times to check or draw
hills on New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Mobile and New Oj leans, besides having the
capital of Mr. Biddle’s batik, (thirty-six millions)
to back it in all its operations. With a great
deal of pleasure, we communicate to the puMic
the information given by ilie president pro tern,
in relation to the future operations of the bank;
it is to be conducted purely and strictly upon
banking principles, self-interest and live love
of private gain is to lie laid aside, and the good
of the public consulted—we are much in want
of iiu insulation thus managed; in fact it is im
possible for a business community to get along
and keep itself whole, without banking facilities
and accommodations. The treasury circular,
has spread a panic through the land, and in all
communities its pressure and tyranny has been
felt. We congratulate our fellow.ciiizons upon
an increase of bank capital, which will be
thrown into circulation, and of the prospect
afforded them of once more placing themselves
beyond the liability of being shaved. The follow
ing is an extract from the minutes of the board
winch convened on the 2d instant, and has been
politely furnished us for publication by the pre
sident pro tern.
At a meeting of the stockholders of the Li-
suranee Bank ofColumbus, held at the banking
i;ouse in terms of the charter, on the 2J day of
January bring the first Monday of the
month.
The second section of the fundamental articles
of the constitution of said corporation was read,
and thereupon, the following resolutions were
adopted by a majority of the stockholders.
Resolved, A majority of the stockhn!J“rs
assenting thereto, that a branch of this bank be
established at Savannah, and that the same be
organized with the least practicable delay, and
that a branch be established at Augusta at such
time as it may appeal to the directors of the
principal bank most for the interest of the stock
holders, so to do, and that the branch now estab
lished at Macon, shall be continued.
Resolred, That the capital stock be increased
to six hundred tliousand dollars, and that the
cashier of the principal bank-is hereby authoriz
ed and-instructed to issue scrip for three thou
sand shares remaining unsold.
Resolved, That the stockholders proceed
forthwith to the election of five directors for
the principal bank at Columbus, five for the
branch at Savannah, four for the branch at
Mucon, leaving'for, and authorizing the board
of directors of the principal bank, to elect the
directors and cashier for the branch at Augusta,
when they determine to establish the same.
Resolved, That the stockholders proceed to
live election of a cashier for the branch at
I Savanna!), and a cashier of the branch at
Mucon.
In conformity with the foregoing resolutions,

—The slii}> Gambia, Captain French, of
New York, was recently wrecked, under
the following horrible circumstances. She
sailed from New York for Lisbon, on the
lGtli of last month, with a cargo of rice
and tobacco, and had been at sea but
three days when she was compelled to lie
to in a dreadful gale. On the night of the
19th she capsized, and the captain, first
mate, and a passenger were in the cabin
at the time, and were drowned. The
survivors, seven in number, clustered
around the forecastle, the only part out of
water, and lashed themselves to the hilts.
Here for three days and nights they were
exposed to the pokings of the storm, with
nothing to eat but a few raw potatoes, and
no water. At this period two of the crew
died, and the cabin boy died, raving mad:
to sati.fu the (Tarings of hunger the boy teas
cut up fprjood!
On the m ‘ht of the 22d, the remainder
of the crew, who had succeeded in reach
ing the main top, saw' a vessel to leeward,
which proved to he the ship ^e\v England,
on board of which they were taken and
landed in Boston. The names ol the
survivors are Joseph Couillard, second
mate, Samuel Bresson, Andrew Smith,
and A. Smith. Those drowned were
Captain French, Air. Jordan, mate, and
John Dean, passenger. Jacobs, the cook,
Andrew Patterson, seaman, and a Portu
