RAIL HOAD REPORT: AND RESOLU
TIONS.
Tlio citizens of Culloden and viciuity, learn
with no ordinary gratification, the spirit that is
abroad in various parts of our slate, on the sub
ject of “Rail Roads." It nos remarked by Dean
Swift, “that ho who causrd two blades of grass
or two ears of corn to grow w lu-ie one grew bo-
fore, deserved more sit the hands of his country,
than the wholo race of politicians put together.”
This observation was no doubt true, when ap-
• plied to tho land of Swift’s nativity, the supera
bundant population of which, contrasted with
tiro scarcity of bread, constituted two prominent
features t.t its tiis-.v.'J- In our happy and prolific
cotujtry however, circurastSS'fcd, and far remov
ed as wc are, from the facilities of foreign com
merce; he will deserve most at the hand of his
couutrv and of posterity, w ho to the greatest ex
tent enhances the facilities of interchanging the
superabundant products of our soil, for the com
modities and manufactures of other climes and-
countries.
Ho who is' acquainted with that portion of
Georgia that lies between tho Oconee ami Chat-
toboorhcc rivers, miist admit that it forms as fair
an ! interesting a spot as any oilict -within the
circle of this vast confederacy. This section is
comparatively now and fresh ; teems with popu
lation, and from the Florida line to the moun
tains, lias little other vent for its mighty products
than ■qjiat is furnished by tho road wagon pluu-
ging through mud aud rairo at the rate of 12 or
!•> miles per dny.
Circumstanced ns wc are, and with all 'the
beariags of the question before us, we have .little
. hesitation tu asserting, that, human ingenuity cau-
not devise a plan of greater benefit to all this re
gion, than by locating a rail road from Savan
nah by .Macon to Columbus. Independent of
the benefit to tho country, and about which there
can he no dispute, we must be permitted also to
say that the prosperity and perhaps existence of
tho towns already referred to, depend upon its
success. The roads already projected from Ea-
tonton and Athens to Augusta, will no doubt be
completed ; and when this is effected, it requires
hut little preseienje^ to foretell what a mighty
change will he prodOrcd in the channels of coin--
taercc, to .the great injury of the towns already
referred to. ‘ *
, 11 c hog hero to be understood—we do not
wish to be regarded as uufrieudly to these roads:
fur from.it—ron the contrary, wc bail with delight
those fi;st movements on the question within tho
.limits of our state, ns indicative of » spirit that
will not permit Georgia to fold her arms and cry
® Tittle mure steep; whito our .sister states are
nmuing a career of improvement, .that produce
iunazement in every beholder. But on the con
trary, wo would from.these projected roads draw

tho commerce, which his own state pours into

HISTORICAL. FACTS.
The course of other States is “ONWARD, ,f
and since Georgia has not beeti foremost, it must
fall to her lot to bring up the rear, of those great
.objects of internal improvement, which are iri a
slate of forwardness upon tho East, North and
West of her.
Site is so peculiarly located, upon the Atlan
tic side of the continent, upon tho great bight,
or bend ol the Ocean, between Capo I* car and ihe
Peninsula of Florida, that the States, 'in the rear,
cannot get to tjie sea with their product#, to he
shipped to foreign markets for manufacture aud
cou-uihptinu without, either passing through
Georgia, or degrading tho .Mississippi toNew-Cr-
Icans.'
Thetrl Je country was made forthe use of all the
people; and in due process of time tlicir inher
ent'faculties of genius and enterprise will burst
forth, like a suppressed body of water, and beck
thcii own best interests, by such improvements of
th - State, by turnpikes, chnals and rail-roads, as
will best promote their, owu general welfare.
Those who would direct the public mind con
trary to tho aboveriucontrovcrtible law of human
nature, must be actuated and moved by some s:u-
ister Sectional prejudice or aristocratical design
upon’lbe State, and the agricultural mass of the
population of the interior. The mjiu object of
this communication, h to take a brief retrospec

Sjuco 1831, it will he* recollected, tljij several
of tho above counties havo increased in population,
at the ratio of about ton per cent. But taking the
data from tho census of 1831, there ara about two
hundred and forty-six thousand of 1)10 population
of the State, who'will be benofitlcd by opening
rite port of Brunswick.' Thw is an object of no
amall magnitude, and can he effected with sixty
thousand dollars. Can any one in his serious and

only necessary to effect this great object, would
not bq a safe investment, and warrant the limit

HISTORICAL FACTS—Uiider this title,
‘ Clinton," in our columns today, has made some
very sc-nsiblo remarks, aud brought forward in a
strong light, some truths that caunot bo coun
tervailed. It lia9 plehsed the God of nature so
to arraijgo some of her works, that human skill,
and industry may change them for tho benefit of
Tnatt.- But some of her grand outlines cau never
he altered, aud ofcours.o, it is wise awl goad, that
they should not. Among these, tho expause of
ocean aiid ;Ue rango of great rifors may bo inclu
ded. Clintoahas voryjqstly observed, that the
sprqpdingof our population westward, indicates,
that our people, to reap tlio advantages-of these
great national highways, must co-operate with
nature iu her works. The uoblo rivers which
roll tbrougb the heart of our State, afford, tho
fiutst facilities for internal improvement. Nav
igation to Macon is alre.my p.•?!!%• good, a: il t*
Milledgevillc, is practicable; though di/Scult.
Whether we take the valley of tho Oconee or Oc-
mulgee, from their sources to Mac'ojj, on one, and
JHilUtlgeTilie on tho other, or chooso to mu entire
ly to their junction with the noble Altamaha—
there will bo fetind tho finest route in tho Stmo
foraceutftil rail road to the.Ocenn, or towards
it, so far as to meet unobstructed navigation. A
chain of operations that will carry the produce of
the iuyneusely rich country upon these fine rivers,
to the Atlantic, would bring faciltie* to’the great
mass of the people of Georgia, would increase
the value of real estate thoocDout the up country,
a? well as the low, and add generally to tho pros
perity of the people.
We should not quarrel about tlip point of moo
ting tho Ocean. Let.produec be carried to the*
commerce !! ! That part which constituted
the agricultural and commercial portion of her
Territory, in those days, iay cast of tho Oconeo
ami Altamaha rivers; which comprised, at that
time, nltoKT teu or twelve counties mostly border
ing upon Savannah river. That majestic stream
was then the most natural outlet for what consti- |
tilted, in those days, tho .Stato of Georgia; land j junction of the Oconee and Ocmulgec—andtheu
also, the must natural outlet for the western and' let cofnpctition'caiyy it to Savannah, to Darien,
southern parts ol tho two. Carolinas. Conse
quently it was natural that there should have
been a*dcpot at' the mouth of that river for a
market, and tho chief place ofexportation.
|fnd not tlie territory of Georgia extended west
of tho Oconee river, that-place of exportation, at
ihe month of the Savannah, would have been ever
geographically destiued to remain the chief em
porium of tho State;—but such isuottJie case.
Tlie limit of her territory was still far to the
west of the Oconeo and tho Altamaha rivers, and

A good drawing of the heads ot Napoleon,

Napoleon himself testifies,as to his son having

Every observer, however, has tha power of

A Ttnowledge of these laws is of great im
portance in determining tho parentage of a
child. ’ •
Thousands of doubtful cases oemm in conse
quence of the face presenting little resem
blance to one of the’ parents and from otiier
causes wliich inay really or seemingly corrob
orate this one. • .
These laws, however, show that the linea
ments of thq other parent will always be dis
covered in the figure, &c.
Here it must be observed; that *the doubts
arising from this want of resemblance in the
face, would much more frequently occur were
it not that, along with'the form of tho back-
head, which the other parent imparts go the
common appetites, sympathies, and passions,
which bind them together as insensibly as surd-
ly. •
This-explains why tlie .parent is generally
mbre attached to the child which is least
sembled in face.
The importance of these laws in the gui
dance of education is not less obvipus; for it
is evident that they not only indicate the’.ca-
pacify of the child, but corroborate this by ail
the parents own experience, whence 1
.will naturally seek eagerly toprofit'in the per
son of .is child. •
A knowledge of these laws, in the ease of
all intermarriages, is, evidently, of treat im
portance, tliouzh a very narrow and mistaken
interest will lead to their neglect. - ,, , 0
A moment’s reflection tyill show, that th.e| r)r j nc j 1 .|,^ r „r nr ’ ' ,IC * oni ° * ni P nrtai >
proportion which exists between these parts cap e observation. ’ ^ *• P er - ia P s . °s-
iti the heads of parents, must be nearly dccis-
tire inactivity.
An xtrenie case will render the importance
of .these laws more obvious and impressive.
Suppose mental incapacity or aberration to
exist in a slight degree, in cons: quonce ot de
fect or excess of«ny of the great portions of
tlie brain alluded to; and, on this; it will, gen
erally, be found to depend.
The most prejudiced will not dispute, that,
in this case, if marriage be inevitable, its vic
tim should have the veiyopposite structure.
A little reflection on the same law oi‘ de
scent, will show that.a son can resemble Iris
father only in half his organization. It simi
larly follows, that, on fills son intermarrying,
he’iyav not communicate to the grandson the
share which he has in ins father’s, but that
which he lias in his mother s, conformation.
Thus, one half the father’s organization
must be losfin the son, and the other half may
disappear in the grandson, so that the latter!
shall not have the slightest degree of the or
ganization’, nor the slightest resemblance to ins
grand father.
Hence it follows, that a man may not have
.the slightest interest, physical or moral, in his
second or third generation.
On how slender it basis, then, are founded
the claims of hereditary descent; the certain
ty that the son must have a ver}’ partial resem
blance to the father, that the grandson may
havo. none, and that ev-ry probability is against
subsequent generations having the slightest.
But, if all this be the case, it must be . ob-
vions’of what vast importance are the tacts pre
viously announced. •
It is remarkable that, in the propagation' of
resemblance from parents to progeny, the men
tal organs should h? divided; one parent giv
ing one.portion, namely, those of sensation and
observation—and the other parent giving the
other portipn namely, those of passion an.1 vo
lition; while*the intermediate middle parf is
also divided’. Thus tlie mental" faculties are e-
qually derived from both parents; but, as in
dicated by the preceding laws, tlio parent
giving passion aud volition, jives, apparently,
the vital, and part, at Ieast-of the locomotive
functions, which chiefly depend on passion
and volition.
A little reflection explains the cause of tills
peculiar division of the mental system
well as 'this dependence of tlio v.tal and lopo-
mo’tive systems.
It is evident, Aliat in all the voluntary n'cfs of
animals, tho mental system must take the lead;
and, that, in the act of generation, they are
functions of that system—passion and voTtion,
which must excite tlie locomotive to fulfil the
purposes of the vital system.* Hence, in gen
eration, tlie apparent predominance of tlie
mental system.
•It is, also, evident, that hi all voluntary acts
in which two sexes are engaged, two mental
systems are involved; and as the first portion
of the mental system, sen*Tiio"u and observa
tion, is relatively passive or dependent on im
pressions, and the last portion, passion and
volition, relatively active and exciting to loco
motion, it is probable that in generation, one
sex ’will ahlays be.ndatively passive, and tlie
! oilier relatively actirt-. Hence, tlio progeny
will receive, from one parent, the organiza
tion on which, in the mental system; sensation
and observation depend; and, from tlio other,
tiiat on which passion and volition depend; for
the very term, propagation, implies the com
munication off similar organs and functions,
tyid, therefore, of the most energetic am] char
acteristic ones.-
Thus thd communication of mind and of
its most distinguished or peculiar characteris
tics to progeny, depends on mind and the re?
lafive predominance of *ts two great divisions
in parents. m •
There remains one other - great distinction
to account for, namely, that of sex; and, as
this is as closely connected with the*, vnal, ns
the preceding distinction is with the mental
system, it will be‘found to depend on the vital
system—the relative energy of ils sexual por
tion and abundance of its secretion in the male
or female parent.
Tlius, as the internal organization and ex
ternal character of t e mental system in proge
ny depend on the relative, though variable,
predominance of the portions of the mental
3’stem in parents; so the sexual disiit clion
of the vital system depends on the relative en
ergy of the sexual portion of the vilal system in
parents.
It is obviously because these two funda
mental distinctions of mind and sex Jtus de
pend upon.totally diflerent causes, that they
m ly be variously combined and intermixed in
progeny. - ‘ •
Hence arise tlte four simplest combinations
of character in the children-of one family: tlie’
paternal organs of sensation and observation
with tiie malqsex—the maternal organs of sen
sation and observation with’ the female sex;
the paternal organs of passion, volition, «fcc. I
with tiie male sex—the maternal organs of pas- i
sidn, volition, <fcc. with the female sox.
When, moreover, it is considered how much
the cohihination of functions are causes of mbd-
ification^as ill tlio case of different sex with
similar features, it will oasily be s'een to what
infinite variety of aspect, in the same family,
this must lead-
Thu's briefly sketched, tlie author submits
this doctrine to the test of public observation.
He iias no fear that it will not lie applied to
it. The subject is two interesting, and its re
sults two important, not to insure this.
■ It is not, however, pretended ihat these
laws are traced with perfect accuracy, or that
they are the whole of those, which regulate the
resemblance of progeny to parents; lor there
appear occasional exceptions to them, especial
ly as to the teeth, ears, naiis, and some subor-
linate parts, as well as various modifications of
all of them, which-are, at present, unaccounta
ble to the writer. To.tliis, indeed, the great va
riety of countenance in the same family mav.
