Daughter of Earth! ye wander hand in hand Ou your unpathed, immeasurable way, Together mingling with the starry band, Chaunting to cherubim their measured lay ; Thy aleep is on her bosom. Where expand ' tier silent vales and deep bine waves at plsy; Gently they glow beneath thy radiance mild, Aajoya the mother in her young-eyed child. Nations have worshipped thee. By the dark Nile. Have maidens wreathed thy lilies in their hair, While front thy temple on the Memphian isle, Music nnd fragrance gushed upon the air. Adoring Persians, by their mountain pile, Have watched thy slow majestic rising there ; The war-roused Moslem, ’mid his steel-clad mights Lifts high thy crescent form, and bails the fight. HI. Queen of the weird and witching hour ! *hy bean Calls the light fairies from their mossy rest; Titsnia and her train by some wild stream, Dancing upon the green sward’s spotted vest: Some troop away to gladden with a dream The ferered artisan, with toil oppressed ;; Spirits unsolved, to troubled sleep consigned. Rise in their sheeted robes and haunt the wino. r/. At this thy banquet eve, tho revelling tea Moves in her festal robe of white arrayed, While silken leaves on many a wind-swept tree. Glitter with ever-varying light and shade. The rireu oak now silvered o’er by thee, Stoops with a gruoo amid the darkling glade i And the hoar ruin mouldered wide with time. Tells u long legend of its olden prime. V. The fond heart stirred with thy mysterious spelt, Yields to affections beautiful and rare-;. The maideo Ungers in the shady deU, The mother listens to her infant’s prayer ; The soldier, musing, beers the village bJll, In the deep breathing of the fitful air ; Whilo the youug seaman in the plashing foam, Hails welcoming voices at his father’s hom<v From the Newnau Palladium. Emly on tho morning of Tuesday, 2Cth ult. our citizens were apprised of the approach of a company of our chivalrous, up- country volunteers { we at once thought it to be our own—but when they approached, who should it be but tho gallant Captain tiAEJlANY. with a part uf his command. They were received tv jth enthusiasm by our citizens, and were compelled by urgent so licitation to partake of a breakfast with us—after which tho La dies and Gentlemen of the town and iu vicinity repaired to the Court House to welcome this heroic band. CoL W. D. Spear, was called to tbe chair, and after making a few pertinent remarks, suit able to the occasion, the following song was, after proper inter vals, sung thrice, with weeping eyes aud great applause ; Capt- Garmauy’s Fight. Tone—“ Scots wha ha,” tfc. See tho Chattalioochie flow, By Boanoke descending low, There oor soldiers met tho foe Ficreo as panther prowling. God! was not thy presence nigh i When to thee with trusting eye, Looked our soldiers while the cry. Burst like wild wolves bowling. Hesr qur Captain’s checr&l tone— “ Courage eoldiors, soldiers ou! ” Let no craven fear bo shown, “ Here no aid can fiud us; “ Who a home, or lov’d one hath ” Fight like whirlwinds in their wrath ^ “ Fight, their lies no middle path— “ Wreath or shade must bind us. “ Should the God of battles smile, “ Blrssings wail to crown our toil | “ Many a ILt’ner we’ll beguile ” With this days’bold storys “Should we fall we leave a name, ’* Ages will be proud to claim; “ Death upon the soldier’s fame “Stamps tbo seal of glory.’’ Germany such thy councils bold j Now in song thy name’s enrolled. And thy gallant deeds are told, While thousands throng applauding. Bravery makes thy field her shrine. Beauty’s grateful tear is tbine. Who but would bit life resign, Such the meed rewarding. After the singing bar! ceased, Capt. Garmany rose and sakl ... sub.tancc, ai follows: “ Mr. Chairman, 1 beg loavc to respond bv offering my thanks, both for myself and in behalf of my company, for the hoDor conferred upon id. It la true, n e have encountered hardships, difficulty, great danger, some suffering and the loss of some of our best men, yet vve have done no moro than our dutv, and duty which every man should at all times be ready to discharge. To you, dear females, I with pleasure behold you hero in pence and under the prelection oftho good and virtuous, while my bosom burns at the thought that I have seen tho places where many of your sex have been butchered by those blood thirsty savages, too ei ucl to relate, yes, so cruel and heart rending, that my life has al most been my terror." Tears flowei from tho eyes of all in tba house, wnich created an inexpressible feeling, and we could not trace blur further, only to say that hespoko the sentiment! of a warm and patriotic heart. The cijjzens wished to retain them as guests uniil the morrow but the anxiety of tho heroes to see and embrace their wives, daughters and sitters, was such, that «ve had to succumb. pros, erity and happiness of:i Inrj-e <iuJ most ttt- ’erestiug portion of our common country. This Convention does therefore earnestly appeal to said States, to appropriate and set apart the said fund, or so mueh thereof as may he necessary for that purpose, and to cause tho same to be faithfully npdlicd to the execution of thc proposed Road. It is presumed tlia: tltq States of Ten i nessee Kentucky. Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina caunot receive under the distri bution Bill, the first year, less than nine millions of dollars, a sum nearly sufficient to make the Road; and should Georgia. Alabama, Vir ginia, aud Indiana become interested iu it by lateral Roads, the whole amount required could be raised by the appropriation of only u siugle year. We call upon the States therefore for the pro motion ofthejr owu best interests, aud for ihe sake of their posterity, not to suffer the work 10 fail - . . , _ . 6th.

Resolved, That we consider the fund which will be put at the disposal of said States by the division among them of the Surplus Revenue of the Union, as peculiarly applicable to this great work, which passing through several states, will open a channel to the most extensive social and commercial intercourse between the most exteu" sire social and commercial intercourse between the Western States bordering ou the Ohio, aud tho Great Lake, and the States ou the South At lantic, and the Gulf of Mexico, thereby strength- c«iine;iho brioefs of our Union, andpromotingtho 1 of Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia, for an amendment to tho Charters, gran ted by those ritates. to admit thc State of Geor gia and its citizeus to become participants iu tbe construction aud benefits of said Road, upon terms of perfect equality, with those to be enjoyed by tbo States of Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, nud thoir respective citizens ; uud that a further amendment should he provided giving to tho State of Georgia, in the general Direction of the Company, three Directors, residents of that State aud for a local Board, as are provided for iu the Slates iff Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina aud South Carolina. 9/A. Be it further Resolved, T.hat a further amendment should be made in the existing Char ter of said Company , providing ’.hat the branch of the Road to be extended into Georgia shall commence at Knoxville, or at tho nearest point thereto, if the Road of tbe said Company shall not strike Knoxville, io bo constructed theuce to such point iu the State of Georgia as said State may select, aud for that purpose that the Capti- tal of said Compauv be increased to $ 10/A. And be it further Resolved, That thc Charters of thc Compauv ought to be so amen ded as to authorize and require the Board of Gen eral Direetores, whenever it shall bo tho unani mous vote of the Directors of a State to that ef fect, to apply the amount subscribed by a State and its citizens in the first place to the construc tion of such portion of said Road and its branches as shall run within vh« limits of Said State. 11/A. Be it further Resolved, That the Com pany shall uot be compelled to construct the said brauch from the tnaiu Track or Road, until the State of Georgia and others shall subscribe for that object, and pay over, as requirod to the Coin- patty, the amouut requisite to the construction of the said Brauch, agreeably to tho Charters. 12/A Resolved, Thatit is tho opinion of this Con vention, iu reference to the particular interest of the Company, aud the accommodation ofall the States lying between Florida aud the Lakes, it is desirable that the States grantiug the Charter should so modify it. if necessary, as to allow the Company to connect the Northern extremities of the Road uow designated, or hereafter to he cre ated. with ihe public works of Indiana and Ohio so as to secure au uninterrupted transist of good9 and passengers from the Northern to the South ern frontier ol' the United States: Provided, That said continuation of the Road shall not bo so constructed as to violate the Constitution of Kentucky, aud the compact with Virginia—and \ that a similar policy should prevail tin each side of said Road aud in the South. From the Augusta Constutionolist, 2d inst. REPORT On tho recouuoisauce of tho country between Knoxville and Athens. Georgia, to ascertain the practicability of constructing a Rail Road around the Blue Ridge. The Holstou and Tennessee rivers flow through a fertile limestone valley, which varies in width from 10 to 30 miles, bounded, here on the S East by the Cltilloweo Mountain,’ one of theoutliers of tbo Blue Ridge. In its extension Northwestward ly through Maryland and Pennsylvania, this val ley is known as the “Cumberland Valley.’’ Bet ween the Chillbowee Mountain and tho Holstou aud Tennessee rivers, the valley is remarkably level, itffbrding almost equal facilities for the coil structlon of a Rail Road upon seVeral different routes. The line wo examined would pass near Marysville aud cross the Little Tennessee at the confluence of Telhco, thence nearly in the direc tion oftho old Federal Road, south of Madison- ville aud Atheus to the Highwassee below Co lumbus. From thcuco to the summit oftho Ridge, partiug the waters of the Teuitessee aud Alaba ma rivers (which is here tho “back hone of the United .States,”) there will bo no difficulty. A route from Knoxville down tho Holston to tho Tennessee, and thence by the valley ef the Sweet Water, would avoid the crossing of one river, aud afford more extensive accommodation to the fertile region'through which it passes.— This line would reach the dividing Ridge tit the sQme point with tho oue described above, gaining its summit between 4 and 5 miles north of Mc Nair’s. Near the lino of Gilmer and Murray counties, Ga., the Blue Ridge entirely ceases, a low flat country separates it from the Lookout Mountain, a continuation of the Cumberland range. The depressed appearance of this intervening country, induces tho beiicfthai atn period anterior to the date wheu tho Tennessee forced a passage thro’ the Cumberland Mountain it pursued a moro di rer t course to rhoGuY through this Valley and the Coosa and Alabama rivers. The Ridge which now presents a barrier to its continuation in the old channel, is (according to Mr. Nichols’ survevjonlv 157ft above the head of navigation on the waters of ihe Highwassee. the distance being neartv 6 miles—and 13^ feet above McNair’s Boat Yard ou tho Coosa 5 miles from the sum mit. The S'opes of the Ridge being quite uni form, thc asceut to, and descent from it, can there fore, be effected by an easy inclination at a small cost- Front McNair’s ;vd may (togs by Spring Plage :o Cuosawatte *. Vi: age, without eucouuteiing much expensive work—generally the grouud is unusually favorable. Passing the Cor,sawattee river we enter the valley of Talking Rock ere< k a very sinuous stream of uniform descent which entirely severs the Coosawattee Mounlnin—fol- I lowing its course, (which can be done by fre- I quculhr crossing the Creek,) we pass tho ridge separating it from Long Swamp Creek,'* nod thence descend the valley of the latter to the Etowah (Hightower) river. Ascending ibe Eto wah a short distance, wo rise to the ridge divi ding it, from the Cbattnhocchee river by the val-. ley ofSittingdown Creek and one of its Southern branches, theuce we have a smooth ridge about ten miles, when we commence our descent to the Chattahoochee, which will be attended with con siderable expense. Crossing the Chattahoochee, we cau obtain an easy asceut, from it, by follow ing tho valley of Mud Creek and its most Nor thern branch. This creek enters the river about; half of a mile above Wynn’s ferry, and issues from the “Chattahoochee Ridge” opposite the level ridge, parting tho Walnut and Mulberry branches of the Oconee. From tho Chattahoochee Ridge to Athets, we meet with little difficulty; crossing Walnut Creek between 3 and 4 miles south of Jefferson. Throughout this whole route from Kuoxville to Athens. Georgia, 230 miles iu length, no station ary engine will he required, and except probably at tho ridge parting the water of the Coosawat- 'tee aud R tow ah, na inclination will be necessary cxceediug from lliiitv to forty feet per mile. A plane requiring auxiliary Locomotive pow er may be requisite at the Ridge above alluded to. With the exception of the country between’ the Coosawatlce aud the Chattacoocbee, a dis tance of about 65 miles, tbo cost of graduating, tho Roqd Bed, will bo below the general average COiSI of similar works. Front Spring Place, or its vicinity, the Road cau be extended to the Tennessee river, (a dis^ lance of about 30 miles) intersecting it at or lie- low the confluence of the Chickamauga. Tf:* ground to be passed over by this line is represen ted as being very favorable. We view this link as tho mo9t important fea-. tore of onr whole enterprize; by its completion we will have effected a conupciion between the ttavigublo w aters of the West and those of tho Atlantic, leadiugto our own sfeaport iivtbe shor test possible distance. Upon this route merchau • dizomay be readily carried front Sav&i.uah fo tbe Tennessee, River, for 85 cents per huudred wei ght, and thence delivered at Knoxville by Steam boat, for 25 cents per hundred, aud at the Ohio River for 75 ceuts. It will be perceived, on reference to the Map of the Uuited States that, by the singularly favora ble course of tho Tennessee river, we cau, thro' its channel, command tho trade of North Alaba ma. Tenuessec. Missouri, Illiuois, and even part of Kentucky and Indiana. An extension of (Hi: 1 road down the Tennessee to the Tuscutubia aud Decatur road, w hich is about to be carried to Memphis, Will give us a direct Rail Road com munication with the Mississippi river, avoiding all tho Mountains. In this respect Georgia st.mds in thc relative position to the South, that New York does to tbo North. Iu each Stale the Mountains cau be flanked, offering natural facil ities for a communication -vith the W^cst, pos sessed by uoite of their sister States. New' York has taken advantage of her natural position, aud (profitably) expended milions in improving them. It will be criminal iu Gecrgianot to fellow her praise worthy example. The ramification of this “System of Railway^' will not stop here. Ou the Northwest, hearing oil’from tuo Tennessee river by the valley of the Littlo Sequatchce.it is supposed tlie Cumt>erlaud Mountains can be reached, and theuce a dividing Ridge leads us direct to Nashville, passing through some of the most “fertilecounties cf West Ten nessee.” On the southwest a connection may be had with Macon, Georgia, by a line running from the point we cross the Etowah through McConnell’s valley to tbo Chattahoochee rive; which is represented as favorable grouud theuce on the Ridge par ting tho waters of th« Flint aud Ocmulgee to For- yth. A branch from this line cau pass off near Zehulou. and extend by Greenville, La-Graugc, and West Point with Mobile. Tho ground may probably bo found favorable for n more Westerly extension of the Athens Road so as to cross the Chattahoochee river near the corner of Gwinnett and DeKfdb counties, nnd by tho valley of Little river and Pinelog creek, gain the more level country, ttorfh of the Coosa wattee river. The counties of Floyd and Cats, and part of Alabama; can be accommodated by improving the Coosa and Etowah rivers, which, it is sup posed. ntay be rendered navigable for Steamboat* at a small expense, up fo the liue of our road, ESTIMATE.
