Some month* ago, we informed our reader* thatth* Post Master General had it in contemplation, provided it met with the wishes of the people, to establish a Dai. Ig Express Mail from K. York to New Orleans. Anact of Congress has been passed authorising the enterprise? and wcobseive in the last Globe proposals advertised for, to carry it into effect The time proposed to b 6 | occupied n the conveyance between New York and New Orleans, is abontsix days and a half; the regular time for the present mails is a little over 13 days. It is estimated the Express Mail will cost $250,000 a year —to meet the expense, treble postage on all letters or packages, sent by it (not to exceed half an ounce in weight,) will be charged. We observe two routes are proposed. One fropi Fredericksburg. Va. via Greensboro, N. C Y orkville. er route coming through. Augusta, Milledgeville and Macon, would promote the interest of the whole state; 3. C. and Washington, Ga. to Columbus, Ga. The other, via Richmond and Petersburg, Va. Fayette* ville, North Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, and Milledgeville, Georgia, to Columbns. The low while the upper route, avoiding all our large tawns would be of but little benefit to Georgia. The upper route however, is about CO miles the nearest; and un less exertions are made by the citizens of the town* living on the lower route, will in all likelihood be cam ed that way. V James R.

The Swabian Mercury contains the following intelligence from Alexandria, dated April 25}:— ‘•The army of Mehemet Ail ha? been completely annihilated near Dedjdar; more than 60 officers in their flight had arrived in Egypt.

The char acter of the Fellahs ought to ke known iu order to give a jus: idea of this strange dissolution of a military body.

Among the Acts of Congress r-ceutly promulgated, we observe one entitled “An act to establish certain Post itoutes." &c &.c. containing 7 or 8 columns of new routes—about half a column of which pertain to Georgia. The whole number of new routes amounts to 738 ; and wilt cost upwards of 6300,000 annually. We apprehend many of these new routes, as well as snino old ones, are not called for by the public conve. nienre; and that they will be an expense rather thau a source of revenue to the. department. That they may suit the convenience of individuals, and perhaps be a source of protit t,> some, is probable enough. With so many mail routes us we have already had in operation, branching otfand intersecting uach other in every direction, it would seem that there ought to be no delay in the transmission of intelligence. But such is not Hie fact. The mai routes in this quarter are most wretchedly constructed, or managed—or both — Scarce a day passes, but we receive letters from some subscriber or correspondent, complaining of the non arrivul of his papers, or of their being stale before they reach hint.

In factso uncertain are the mails in several directions, that sher ds aud other officers, whose advertisements requite prompt publication, are afraid to send them to the prin ter by mail, for fear of miscarriage. Where the fault lies, it would bo difficult perhaps in every case to determine. In general, the irregu larities of the Mail may be referred to one or more of .the following causes: 1st. Incompetency of Post Masters. Some arotoo illiterate, or too infirm of sight to make out the su perscription ; lienee, packages receive a w rung (Erec tion. 2d. Carelessness of Post Masters. The mails are sometimes opened in a.gtere or piaazi, amidst a dozen or two of loungers,wlw are permitted Jo assist in as sorting the packets,—hence many get misplaced or lost; the wrappers tom, or the direction defaced. 3d Dishonesty of Post Masters. Many, through personal, political or aectarian feelings, are believed cither to destroy papers intended for their opponents j or to wink at their being destroyed. 4tlfc The too great number of Post Office*. The* of. tires are so near together, and the profits at edeb (in Jbc country,) aosmall, that competent officer* cannot bu obtained, nor the attention necessary be beatewed. for tho emolument. The following resolutions may require a word of ex- plonation. The citizens of Macon are not disposed to be behind the age in regard to Internal Improvement— they wish to throw no stumbling block iu the way of Enterprise. On the contrary they have every dispo sition to foster Enterprise, aud encourage Industry and Talent. But they feel under no obligation to patron ize the labors of a company, before they become sat isfied that those labors will not tend to their own injury. Should the Monroe Rail Road end at Forsyth, there is but one opinion we believe prevalent; and that is that it would carry a considerable portion of the busi ness of Macon from her own streets to Forsyth—aud that in proportion as Forsvth would be benefitted, Ma con would be injured. Still Macon will oppose no ob stacle ill the way of the Rail Road from Macon to For syth ; she is anxious for its completion, as an important link in the great Western Rail Road; and wheuever the Savannah Rad Road reaches her on one hand, and tiie Tennessee Rail Road approaches her < n the other, she will then grant permission for them to come into and go through her city; and will moreover lend her aid m completing the works. Her liberal subscription to stock in Hie Savannah Rail Road is a proof of the eiiligmeiied views and liberal leeiiugs of our citizens oil tile subject of Internal Improvement. Citizt-ns’ Meeting:. Ill accordance with u request of toe Mayor and Council a public meetiug of the citizens took place on Friday the 22d Hist, to lake into consideration the ex pediency of permitting the termination of the Monroe Rad Ruud to be located w.tlun the limits of the city, and of granting for its use a certain portion of the pub lic domain His honor the Mayor was called to the chair and A. M. Hobby appointed Secretary. The subject for the consideration of the meeting be ing laid before the citizens, Gen. Griffin, the Presi dent of the Monroe Rail Road Company addressed the meeting in behalf of the rights of the company to the location and the grant, and withdrew. Edward D. Tracy and C. J. McDonald, Esqrs. opposed the mea sure man able manner. The following preamble and resolutions were then moved and unanimously adopt ed by the meeting: Whereas, the Monroe Rail Road company have com menced excavations within the corporate limits of the city of Macon, aud in the opinion of this meeting with out any authority to be derived from their charter and without any competent legal grant from the city autho rities; and whereas, the citizens here assembled, be-1 having that the operations of the said company shove alluded to, are a direct violation of their rights, and that a consummation of their plans will most injurious ly affect the value of piivate property, and be followed by consequences most disastrous to the prosperity of the city itself. And whereas, it is rumored that an application isa- bout to be made by the said company for a graut or do? nation of a part of the public domain to be appropri- . ated exclusively to the private purposes of said com- ! puny, anil this meeting being of the opinion that no power is iiivested by either the constitution or laws of the country in the authorities of the city to make such benefactions, be it therefore Resolted. as the sense of this meeting, that the ell. trance of said road into the corporate limits of this ci. ty, will have a direct tendency to depreciate the value of real estate and check the rising prosperity of the ci ty. That the Mayor and Cuuucil of the city of Ma con be therefore directed to take all legal measures to prevent anv further operations or excavations by the said company or its agents within the corporate limits of the city. Be it further Resolved. That in the opinion of this meeting the charter of said company confers no right on them to enter the corporate limits of the city, their pow r being limited to the construction of a road from Vlacou to i orsytli. Be it further Resolved, That the Mayor and Council of the city possess no right or power to make any dis position of the town common by way of donation to any individual or company for any object or purpose whatsoever. Resulted, That these resolutions be signed by the chairman and secretary and be published in the papers of the city. ISAAC G. SEYMOUR, Chairman. A. M. Hobbt, Secretary. Pleasant HiU. near Pondtown. July 22,1836. Dr. M. Bartlett, Dear Sir—I perceive in the Telegraph of the 14th inst. that you had received intelligence from some per- sunjust irom Sumter, that a party of Creek Indians had made their appearance near Americus, on their way, as was supposed, to Florida Your informant was rather too credulous. There was a party of Indi ans, to the number of about twenty, made their appear ance onKinchafoona, on Monday the 4th iust. some ‘to miles from Americus, on Monday night the whiles, to the uiiinber of eight or ten, way laid their trail, just at dark the red sticks came on, the whites gave thorn a broadside and both parties retreated, the Indians back to the swamp, and the whites to raising men to pursue themselves set fire to the building, because their wages were not paid. Only one corvette fell a prey to the flumes, and the fire was soon got arre under. The guilty persons are not yet discov ered, but every one knows that the fire origina ted iu malice." Washington's Farewell Address.- The long mooted question of the writer of Washington's Farewell Address, is. we have reason to know oil the point of being settled by the publication of Mr.Madisou’s manuscript writ'tigs. At the close of the first Presidential terin.of Washington,he wrote to Air. Madison to draw up for him his Farewell Address to the people of the United Stales. With this request, Mr. Aladison complied, hut circutn. stauces occurring which induced Washington to serve auother term, it was laid aside at the moment and not given to the world till his filial reliremeut. when the paper first drawn up still met the approval of Washington, and with very slight alterations was published.

At a meeting of the citizens of Macon, called to re ceive the report of die Delegates to the Knoxville Con vention. on motion of Maj. Edwd. D. Tracy Isaac G. Seymour, Esq. the .Mayor was called to the chair, and Edwd. L. Holmes appointed secretary. The chairman haviug explained the object of the meeting. Mr. Chappell rose and remarked, that in con sequence of the indisposition of Mr. Poe, it had fallen tu him to discharge the duty imposed by the wishes of those whom he addressed. He then entertained the meeting upwards of an hour, with a full, clear, and most interesting relation of the proceedings of the Knoxville Convention Deeply and thoroughly ac quainted with all the matters connected with the ob jects of this body, Mr. Chappell showed most conclu sively the important advantages which Georgia wonld derive from uniting iu the grand enterprize. and urged with forcible eloquence and irresistible arguments, the necessity of prompt aud immediate action on her part. Mr Poe. though much indisposed.also addressed the meeting, who entirely coincided with Mr. Chappell in xs-ertiug that the greatuess and prosperity which now brightened upou our flourishing city, could only be se cured by the speedy and energetic exertions of those interested in her welfare M r. Simri Rqso then offered the following resolu tions which were unanimonsly adopted: Resolved, That we highly appreciate and approve of the services render'd otir city by their representatives. Messrs.

They were pursued and overtaken at Saratoga Springs. Bnt alas! it was too late. The nuptial ceremony had lieen perfumed, and the affec tionate mother, after calling in the aid of philosophy, became reconciled; the happy pair returned to enjoy the honey moon, under the gratified auspices of their 4 mutual mother.” The parlies agreed to hush upthe affair, and it has only been whispered at the Springs.” AN ELOPEMENT PREVENTED —Ten days since, there was a magnificent and unmeroqs party at a fashionblo stmer. io Bleecker street, not f^r from Afasdongal Fqnipages of every description were in plentiful requisition and every thing passed off to the utmost satisfaction and delight of ail who participated in the enjoyments of the night.

It was soon :iscertained ftrom a neigh bor, thatthe fair creature had beenseeuto go outwitlia gentleman “long before the breakfast hoar.” A brother ofthe truant fugitive took the hint, and immediately set of for Newark, whither he “guessed” the lovers had bent their steps. He was not mistaken. He arrived there, and ferreted tli<*m out, just as they were about to unite their destinies in one common lot by solemnly, before the altar, perpetrating matrimony. He forbade the "banns,” and by the potent influence of a trusty cowhide, which he took the precaution to possess himself of, hi? mandate was most, punctillious- ly and promptly obeyed, and he brought away in tri umph his disappointed sorrowing Sister leaving the foiled and affrighted swain “alone in his glory.” This is a true story—we have names, datx and minutia.

Outside the door stood a tall sleek haired, straight coinbed. flat headed personage, in black, soliciting every sailor, as he came out for money, to emancipate the slaves iu the West Indians, i’fce sailors refused, swearing the nig gers were better off than they were, for they worked uo harder by day, and had no night watches.

Others abused him. At last, one of the men who was tipsy, came up. “l)o you pretend for to insinuate that this crying black thief is my brother?” ‘ To be sure 1 do,” said the gentleman in black, "Then take that for your iniarnal lie,” said the sailor, bittiug the fellow right aud left, and knock ing him down the cabin tier, whence philanthro py was glad to sneak out of the frigate as soou as possible.

T HE subscribers having purchased from Stephen Terry, the patentee, his right to bis newly inven ted Cotton Screw, propelled by water power, for the states of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, and the territory of Florida, now offer the same for sale, either by counties or individual rights.. From actual ex periments which have been made by the patentee, (who has ose of those machines in full operation) we have no hesitation iu saying that three times as much cotton can be packed with’ it in a day, hy two hands, as can be packed in the same time with the horse screw now in use. The difference in expense in constructing this screw and its machinery, and the horse screw, will not exceed 25 dollars. . Applications by letter or otherwise, addressed to the subscribers, at Decatur, DeKalbcounty, will meet with prompt attention. JOHN SIMPSON. Aug 2 58 4t WM. W.
