Each gift my fondest friend bestows.
This holy book with garland fair
Around its sacred pages twined,

The chosen emblem of thy mind.
There’s yet another pledge held dear.
More valued than all earthly bliss.
The parting sigh, kind friendships tear.
And OI the balm of thy sweet kiss.
O, memory ! sacred friendship's home,
Thy sweets the nbseut only know,
Compelled by fate, iu voulb to roam,
From thee alono our joys can flow.

was more that of a dandy in n drawing-room than

humbly venture to call the attention of observers
to a few of tho facts which he has noticed tho past
year; and this he docs with the more confidence,
iuasmuch as he was successful in predicting the
appearance of the Meteors of November 13-
1833, and has been successful iu predicting
the appearance of other Aletcors several times
since.
1. The number of Aletcors noticed by the
writer during the past year cannot be less than
14,451,192. Of these. 14,450,000 fell ou the
moining of the 13th of November 1834. This
kinson county. After having crossrd the Oco
nee, the line is carried to the valley of Big Sandy
creek, the left side of which it follows, (passing
one mile to the south of Irwintan ) crossing the
creek near Thompson’s mills, and passing up
Wolf creek, the head waters of which take their
rise within four hundred yards of those running
into the Oakmulgce by Stone creek; beyond this
ridge twelve miles from Macon no instrumental
examinations have yet heon made, hut the route
it is supposed will be adopted, leads down Stone
creek until the formation of the ground will per
mit a favorable location to Maeon, crossing iu its
route Swift nnd Walnut creeks. To conduct
the railroad across the Oakmulgee iuto the city
of Macon, will iuvolve the construction of a via
duct or bridge, unless an arrangement should he
deemed preferable and could be effected with the
proprietors of the present bridge at that place,
by which a portion of it could be obtained for
this object.
Having thus briefly descrined the route survey
ed for the contemplated railroad, the character
of the country over which it passes, its eleva
tions and depressions, the length, probable cost,
plan and character of the construction, will,
with as much detail as is consitent with a pre
liminary report, next he brought into considera
tion
The surface of the country over which the con
templated railroad will pass, possesses iu a high
degree all the characteristics which distinguish a
country favorable to such an undertaking, admit
ting of grades so geutle as to render it almost
equivalent to a level road, and where curvature;
are ncessary of radit of such length as to entire
ly obviate the objections to curved roads, impar
ting to the road all the advantages of a straight
difference of one hour in the time requisite to master of alj,the languages of burop e « a ad en-
inake tho nassage from Macon to Savauuah.
When the railroad is completed between these
Termiui, the passago can he accomplished in
12 hours with tho passenger cars, and two days
or a day aud a half with the freight cars, and
should any exigency-of trade require it, the latter
might be carried through in the same time with
the former. , . .
The plan of the work will ho in accordance
with the nature of the propelled power to he em
ployed upon it, aud with considerations of a ju
dicious economy of coustructiou, adapted to the
preseut and probable demauds of tho country,
and the pecuniary ressources which can he ap
plied to the accomplishment of tlje object, whilst
at tho same time permanency of construction aud
durability of material will he made of primary
importance; it is, therefore, proposed to form
the bed of the roatl or graduation, either by ex
cavations or embankments of solid earth, and as
mechanical or locomotive power alone iscoiucm
plated to be used, no expenditure will ho neces
sary in forming tracks for animal or horse
power.

At distances of 5 miles there will he turn outs

which prevails upon well regulated railroads, in

THE METEORS.
The New Haven Daily Herald of the 17th
inst. contains nu article written by Professsor
Oinistead of Vale Oollege. in which it is stated,
that the phenomenon of “falling stars” returned
on the morning of the J3lh of November, though
in a form so much less imposing than that of tli
last year that mauy person’s,.who were on the
watch, were not sensible of its occurrence. He
stales however, that it did occur, and was
nttcndcil by some rcmarkahlo peculiarities,
though the nreeenco of the moon, until about 4
o’clock in the morning, permitted only tho larger
meteors to bo seen.
The number of meteors was smaller than last
year, though much above the common average.
At one o’clock, a fireball of unusual splendor
blazed forth in tbo cast, like a signal, mid they
were subsequently seen 10 fstll, at a pretty uni
form rate, until the light of day was far advan
ced. Sumo Jell in the southwest, and a few in
uorthwest, but by far the greater number were
in the eastern hemisphere. The meteors ap
peared ns- before, to radiate from a common
centre, in the constellation of Leo, nnd whenev
er thov fell, their line af direction, if continued,'
would pas* through that point. * The radiant
point was a li.ttu northward ofthe place it occu
pied Iasi: year ; nnd ’his point was ‘not observed
to vary iu position for at least three hours; thus
corresponding to the conclusions respecting the

tho following circumstances:—I. A gentle
warm breeze from the south or south west, ac
companied by a reddish tinge of the atmosphere
during the day. 2. A gradual reduction of tem
perature at night (say lOdeg.) accompanied with
a gentle steady breeze from the north or north
west; then, when tho reddish tinge begins to fade
aud disappear, the Meteors begin to fall, and
they will he more and moro numerous as tile cir
cumstances above mentioned are more 01 less

the writer would respectfully submit the above
remarks to the observing community. P.

will supply timber in tho greatest abundance and
of the best quality for the purposes of construc
tion. Tbegreatest depth of excavation will not
exceed fifteen feet, (uuless at the summit near
the Oakmulgee.) and a cut ol ten feet only is
necessary to carry the road across the summit
between the waters ofthe Ogechce and Oconee
rivers.
As far as the survey has progressed, i. e. with
in twelve miles of Macon, no ascent has been
found sufficiently great to require the iuterven
tion of inclined planes with stationary power,
nor has the grade any where reached the limit
usually prescribed by tho use of locomotive power
or thirty feet rise in the mile. For a distance of
a hundred miles from Savanuab, the ascent is at
the rale of two feet to the mile; thcnco up the
valley of Williamson’s swamp to Sandersvillc
the ascent is at the rate of ten feet to the mile.
The summit between the Ogcecheo and Oconee
is about five hundred feet above tide; in a dist
ance of 25 miles to the Oroneo thero is a descent
of three hnndrcd feot of twelve feet to the mile ;
this however will not bo the uniform grade be
tween these points, for two hundred Sc fifty feet
will be overcome in the fifteen miles next below
the summit.
The Oconee, at the point selected for the pas
sage of the railroad, is 200 feet above tide, and
at the present stage of the river, about 200 feet
wide, running over a rocky bottom ; the west
side is entirely free from swamp ; the high ground
bluffing on the channel of tho river : on the cast
side of the swamp is high and a half mile wide.
The ascent of the valley of Big Sandy, is at the
rate of eight to tea feet to the mile, and that
of Wolf creek, at the rate of 20 aud 25 feet per
( mile.
At this date, the survey not having reached
the bridge or summit between the Oconee and
Oakmulgee, the precise elevation cannot ho giv
en. but it is supposed that it will reach 525 or
550 feet above tide. Thence to Macon, the
heaviest grade is to be encountered ; for, pre
suming that the Oconee, at Ball’s ferry, isnear-
jv ofthe same elevation above tide, as tho Oak-
mnlgeeat mneou, and then taking into conside
ration the fact, that the waters ofthe Big Sandy
creek take their rise within 7 miles of the Oak-
tnnlgee, the inference is plain, that all the ascent
which has been accumulated in reaching the sum
mit from the Oconee, in a distance of nearly 50
miles, must he lost or dissipated in a distance of
10 miles in leaving the summit and descending
towards tho Oakmulgee. This is by far tho
most difficult part of the route, both as it regards
Ihe character of the country and the h>gh grades
which will he necessary, even if an Inclined I’laue,
with stationary power, should he obviated. But
when wo take all the circumstances attending
the establishment of this peculiar enterprise iuto
consideration, there i» not one in tho world, ei
ther constructed or projected, which for its length
and passing as it does almost directly across tho
i rirei and ridges of the country, at right angles te
| their direction, presents so general a character
of feasibility, and one calculated to produco re-
hlislicd fur the supply of fuel and wells to furnish
water to the locomotives ; and, at suitable sites
will hereafter be erected depositaries to store the
freight transported upon the road, houses for the
protection of the cars and locomotives, and work
shops for the construction and repairs. The
cost of the road will bo predicated upon the above
statement of ihe plau and character of tho con
struction. and although the estimate ofthe whole
route is necessarily yet incomplete, still it may
confidently be asserted, from the general feasi
bility of the work through this section of the
country with the facilities of procuring the mate
rials of timber, and the general character of the
soil, which is such as to render the excavations
and emhaukments cheap, that the average cost
will not exceed an average of $10,000 per mile,
or in total $2,000,000. A detailed estimate of
the cost must uecessarily be reserved until the
final report can he prepared, which would have
appeared at an earlier day, had uot much time
hecu expended in ascertaining the practicability
or rather the inpracticnbility of a canal commu
nication ou the route designated for the central
railroad of Georgia, aud which formed a part of
the instructions directing tho object ofthe survey.
Although this fact aud the temporary indispo
sition of the party engaged in the survey, have
in some measure retarded its completion, still it
is confidently expected that the repoit and esti
mate illustrated by several maps exhibiting the
route, will he completed by the 25th inst.
With regard to the advantages of establishing
this improved channel of a communication, they
nro too obvious to every intelligent and discern
ing mind to require at present much comment or
illustration. When the data, however, are pro
cured, they will be presented, avith such esti
mates of the reveiiue to he derived from the
transportation of produce, merchandise nnd pas
sengers upon the road, that as a mere invest
ment of capital, tho most incredulous cannot fail
to pcrceive.and comprehend tho advantages of
the expenditures; whilst the State at large will
feel the benefits afforded to her population iu the |
economy, certainty and despatch of transporta
tion and intercourse which will necessarily at
tend its construction. A new impulse will he
given to commerce, agriculture and the arts, ex
tending itself throughout tlioir various ramifica
tions, imparting fresh vigor and energy to the
system, and elevating Georgia iu that position
among her sister States which her territory and
resources jdstly entitle her to occupy. This con
templated improvement, the Central Rail R oad
of Georgia, may be considered as 1I10 base &fnun-
ation upon which all her subsequent plans of
inornal improvement will he reared; and like tho
Grand Canal of Now York, (now yicldiug up
wards of a million annually to the State Trea
sury) it will ho an enduring monument to the
sagacity and wisdom of tho People who designed
aud executed it.

reduced to 157,000 hags, of which 134,000 are of
American description ; and it seems very proba
ble, that at the end of the year, we shall have
still less in porr, as the consumption is going on
with unabated rapidity, and cur supplies will

“We baud you a Prices Current of yesterday,
by which you will observe there has been an ex-
tcusivc demand for Cotton, principally caused
by speculators, aud that American has advanced
jd per lb. in consequence. During the last t»o
days, however, the business has been limited to
5000 bags, and there is very little-inquiry in the
market this morning, hut prices are steady,
though here aud there a few lots may be picked
up au Jd lower. We do not, however, expect
the speculators will allow ilia market to remain
quiet long, as the reduction of the stock here will
coutinue to excite them. You will observe by
the annexed table of 9tocks, that we have now
near 46,000 hags less American, than we had at
this period last year; yet, as we believe the
trade have at least 40,000 hags, of all kinds-
more, we think there is now as much American
eotton iu the couutrv as there was then.”
Oct. 25.
“There has not beeu so much doing in Cotton
the last two days ; the speculative demand seems
ti have subsided in n great measure, but the
market remains steady. The sales for the week
elided last evening, amounted to 37,000 bales, or
7000 more than previous estimates, of which
.‘12,000 was American—about 15,000 to specula
tors. It reduces the stock in this port to about
160,000 hales.”

“The improvement up to 17th iust. was J to

THE DEATH OF DON PEDRO.
Lisbon, 8ept. 27.—A marked improvement
in health, tho goncral precursor of death in such
maladies, was visible to most of his attendants
early in the morning, and even the Empress
indulged a hope that he might set through. The
royal sufferer himself thought differently, be
cause, about 8 o’clock, A. M. he sent for the
Queen, and told Iter that as a dying father, lie
had a request to make of her, viz :—That after
he should have paid the debt of nature, a decree
should he issued, setting at liberty all prisoners
confined for political and civil nffcuccs, without
exception: which, of course, she faithfully pro
mised to do. Ho was quite sensible nearly to
the last, and appeared to ho perfectly resigned
to liis fate, nnd happy at the actual position of
affairs, and tranquillity of the country.
He requested that his (nncral might not he that
of a royal personage, hut simply that of Com-
mauder iu Chief of tho Portuguese armies, and
that his remains, or. at all events, his heart, might
he conveyed for interment at Oporto, tho scene
of his glories. It appears thateversiuce theSOth
of August he had a presentiment that he would
not live tho month of September out, and that,
most likclv, ho would expire ou tile 21st; so
much so, that lie communicated it to the Empress,
and made her promiso that she would not leave
him a minute, and that she should attcud Iiim ns
his only nurse, &c. which her Majesty has done
with exemplary and soothing assiduity. The
people scciu to regret him much. Every res

OUR PARTY.

Georgia. The numbers are agaiust them, aud'
the talents are agaiusts them They are iu
the minority, ami some of them lay it much to
heart; but the blame-lies at their own door.
It was not the extraordinary exertions of the
union men, which placed the uuliifiersiii the mi
nority ; it was tlieir own principles.
The Union men have not gone out to excite
and mislead the people—the 'Union inmi iiave
held very ie\r public meetings, made very few
speeches, but have rested tlieir cause upon the
suiter judgement of the people.
II6w stands it with tho milliners ? Can they
say‘as much ? No! Trace the progress ol their
leading men through the past campaign, and
you find politi al associations—dinners, barba-
cues. aud speeches upon speeches. You will
find their head men itinerating the country from
County 1 to county, aud from one village to an
other, dissemiuatiug thr-fr doctrines broad cast
through the land; hut it all proved to he labor
lost. Aud why has it ?. We answer, because
the Rood, hard plantation sense of the people,
could not bv turned out. of its natural current.
They knew too well the blessings of tlie>r gov
ernment, to trust its amendment to the hands
of men. who would , commence the operation,
by prilling it to pieces. Our people have 110
confidence in that class of Doctors, who begin
the cure of a disease, by cutting off the patient’s
head.
Wc have never doubted the course of tho
people in this struggle. It was their interest
and their duty to maintain the Union, and we
knew they would do it—We knew they verc
wise, and would profit by the lessens of expe- .
ricnce.
The blossoms of Nullification were full in
their view. South Carolina, disjointed aud dis
robed of her former glory. was before them.—
They could not hesitate—they did not hesit
ate, ami are now reaping the reward of tlieir wis
dom.
Compare the condition of South Carolina with
that of Georgia, aud behold the difference!
While Georgia is enjoying all the blessings of
free government, and the charities and civilities
of life are lighting up, tho countenances and
cheering the hearts of her’people, South Caroli
na is dist< acted and convulsed through every
ramification of liei political aud social system.
What is the condition of the union men ? The
baud of despotism is upon them—disfranchised
aud expatriated, they live in .a boasted land of
freedom, like the l’lehians, amidst the haughty
Patricians of Rome. And these are the hitter
fruits of Nullification.—Standard of Union.
