The Convention met pursuant to adjournment.—
After Prayer by Mr. Speer the journal ol yesterday
Considerable debate took place on tho question of
refcring the Charters of the several Rail Road Compa
nies to the Convention, to inquire what amendments, if
•ny, were necessary, to induce the State to embark in
a general sjrstem of Internal Improvements—in which
Messrs Clayton, Griffin, Spalding, Bailey, Poe, H G
Lunar, Cone. Prince, &c. 6ec. took part. The mo-
tlon was finally laid on the tabic.
The following Risolution offered by Mr Chappell
was adopted:
. Resolved, That the committee of 40 be instructed to
inquire and report, whatmeans by legislation or other-
w 'j C - :iro . best calculated to bring about a harmonious
find efficient co-operation of the various sections and
mterasts of the State in constructing nsystem of Rail

exertions to this end. She was stimulated to the work
not less by the peculiar advantages of her geographical
position and features, than by the necessities of her in
terior population, and her prescience of the mighty
benefits her commerce would derive from making the
valley of the Ohio accessible to her great emporium.
The subsidence of the Allegany rouge of mountains
into that vast extent of plain country which spreads out
from the head of navigation, on the Hudson river, to
the borders of Lake Erie, invited and facilitated the
construction of her Grand Canal.- From the western
termination of the canal her commerce wa. carried, by
the navigation of the Lake, to the shores of the State of
Oliio. The people „f Ohio, taking up the work in
their own borders, soon executed a chain of canals, con
necting the Ohio river with Lake Erie. So that by the
joint result of the internal improvements of New York
and Oliio, one great outlet, embarrassed however by
much circuity, and numerous transhipments, has been
opened from the great West to the Atlantic coast.
Pennsylvania has vied actively with New N
York iu works of internal improvement, for at
tracting the commodities autl commerce of ihr
West to her borders; and her communications
are now complete through u succession of
canals and Rail Roads- Virginia, Maryland
and South Carolina, as well as Pennsylvania,
have all distinctly entered the lists as competit
ors for the same Western trade, upon which N.
York has grow n so great: but all these States
lack the felicity of position enjoyed by N. York
The mountains tovxr up across ihtir jmth to the
West. It is not until we teach Guorgia, that we
meet with any thing analogous or comparable to
the geographical facilities possess, d by N York
for constructing artificial chaunels of conimct) c
with the West. The dispersion and subsidenc e
of the mountains iu the N. \V. angle of Georgia
open a way through our territory for a Conner
tion of the* Atlantic with the 'Mississippi waters
strongly analagousjbutgreqtly superior for all pur
poses of extensive trade with the West to that
tvhirh N. York owes to the nou-appearance of
the same mountain chain across the rout of her
great canal. A canal of more than30l) miles in
length connects with the Steamboat and sloop n»
vigntion of the Hudson, not trith the steamboat
navigation of the Ohio and all the Western rivers,
but onlv with that" of Lake Erie, and from the
Lake through several other channels, and after
divers transhipments, nt length with the Ohio
whilst a single trunk of rail road of from 110 to
130 miles in length, branching off into three
prongs, varying from 100 to 150 or 160 miles in
length, would connect our three main navigable
streams with a point ou the Tennessee from which
we have an assurance of continuous steamboat
navigation throughout the whole length of the
Ohio andMississippi. and all tbeir tributaries.
Ill point of ideographical position aud circum
stances then, the advantages of Georgia over N.
York for formiug artificial channels of commerce
ith the West, seem to be noitlier small or ques
tionahle, whilst her nilvnutages in the same re
gard over Pennsylvania, Virginia. Maryland aud
ti. Carolina are great aud decisive to tho full ex
tent t»f 'he difference of distance in her favor,
aud to the extent also of the difference between
the facilities of plains aud the obstacles of moun
tains to the construction of Rail roads. Assu
redly not oue of the Atlantic States to the east
of Georgia would have dreamad of the gigantic
enterprise of surmounting and perforatidg moun
tain* at enormous expense with lines of rail road
lending to the west, had nature vouchsafed to
them so direct and easy ft pathway as that which
she has thrown open to Georgia.
Will the people and government of Georgia
slight so benign and magnificeut at ovenuro-of
nature in their favor ? Will they refnse to lend
their own concurrence and co-operation to (.fleet
n complete fulfilment of the gratd destiny which
a partial Providence has put so clearly and easily
within tbeir achievement? Are they content that
the State* shall forever revolve as a secondary orb,
although manifestly entitled by her position and
capabilities te assert her claims to the highest
aud most 'brilliant sphere ? Nay, more: are they
willing that comparative poverty, discojnfiort and
dcfolatica sb&U bare a perpetual reign over tfce

seem, as in New Y'orfe.
Another striking recommendation of the scheme of
rail road connections with the Tennessee river, which
the committee have sbe ched, is the facility with Ivhich
it may, at any future day, be united by a branch with
the Louisville^ Cincinnati: and Cliarleston Rail Road
at Knoxville. A branch of only an hundred and twen
ty or thirty miles in length wonld be necessary for this
purpose, and the Legislature of Tennessee, in enact
ing the charter of the Cincinnatti and Cliarleston rail
road, reserved to itself the right of authorizing such a
branch.
In the event of this oonnecion with the Cincinnatti
and Charleston Road, we should have two openings to
the trade of the West—one through the channel of the
Tennessee river into the Ohio and Mississippi—the
other through that of Cincinnatti and Charleston road.
And should this connection with the Cinciuijatti und
Charleston road ucver take place, we shall. still have
access to the trade of all East Tennessee and a part of
North Carolina and Western Virginia, by means of the
navigation of tho Tennessee. river and its tributaries,
above Ross’ Landing. ..
The Road when completed, with the three
hraiu-bes. leading to Augusta, Macon and Co
lumbus will be led and sustained hy the trans
portation of all Western suplies introduced fur
tho internal consumption of all Georgia, mii«I
Florida—the so u|ber P side of South Carolina,
aud tbe Eastern side of Alabama: also by the
transportation of all Western commodities seek
ing a Fojeign market through the seaports - of
Geo gia, To which must be added tbc vast e-
mouut of transportation, arising out of tbe iu-
tcrual trade of the state—the productions of our
noil. and the foreigu merchandize consutuad by
our own people. The reveuueof the road wonld
lie still further swelled hy the conveying of all
foreign goods obtained from or through Georgia
for the Western market*-—to which must t e
likew ise added the important item of the steam
of passengers that would lie continually flon tug
along the line* of the road.
Tlie commercial towns of Georgia would also
become to a very large extent, the medium
through which the foreign trade of the wesl
would pass, and thus be euah’ed to take their
stand as competitors with Njw Orleans, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, for thegcuer
al commerce ol tho west,’...
With these great and numerous advantages--
almost equally diffused through every part of the
State—profiting alike our agriculture and our
commerce—with the certaiuity toe* that the a
mount of I ravel and transportation would be
suificeint to render the work a safe investment
of capit il. the committee see every ground for
believing that when the enterprise shall be thor
oughly canvased and understood, it will unite
the suffrages an' 1 he supported by the geueral co-
op-ration ofthe people- ofthe whole State.
/’the mode in which the public energies would
'most ad vant.igr-rntsly be directed the accomplish
ment ofthe work has occupied the anxious atten
tion of the committee. ■ And their opinion ou the
best reflections they have been able to bestow, is
that weighty reasons concur in making it expe
dient that the single trunk of rail Rond, from the
Tennessee river to the Cbatt ihoochy, which
would he commou in its use to all the three
branches aud equal in its benefit to all parts t?T
tbe State, ought to he undertaken and construc

The Money Market.—The New York Commercial of}
were several failures ou Saturday,
there have not been many more.
of such heavy aud peculiar adversity.
‘We find the following favorable article in the
nal of Commerce :
We have reason to believe, that at least some of jthe
causes of pressure are about to be removed. The Se
cretary of the Treasury has expressed himself ready to
arrange the distribution of the public revenue in . any
mauner consistent with the law, which shall best sub
serve tlie interests of trade, and promote stability in the
monied market This disposition he has manifested
from tlie beginning. No more drafts will be .issued at
present, and some already issued and transmitted to
distant places will be countermanded. It devolves on
tlie Defiosite Banks here, to point out to tlie Secretary
tbe manner by which, in their opinion, tlie objects of
the law can be most conveniently accomplished.”
The Money Market.—The N. York Express of Mon
day says: “There is yet no relief in the money market,
and we are sorry to add, that we see no immediate
prospect of relief. Our friends abroad can hardly re
alize tlie almost unprecedented state of affairs among
us. Men who have millions of dollars in property are
all but beggars in their money affairs. The South and
the West, the West in particular, are calling upon us
for our specie, not being able to procure it from tbe
Western Banks, and we have not specie enough to do
our owu business. Tbe distress and evils among us
are not confined to the gamblers, speculators and stock
jobbers alone. The whole business community with-
. out exception, are suffering. The commercial embar
rassment is universal, tbe pecuniary distress is great,
and unless something is done, and done quickly, there
are a multitude whose families will suffer, and" whose
business will be crushed.”
The Gazette says: “ We understand that tlie Banks
in this city have received an assurance from the proper
3 uarter, that no more specie drafts will he made upon
tern. This measure cannot fail to operate beneficial
ly npon the mercantile interests, by relieving the mon
ey market to a certain extent.”
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.
Late and Important from Spain.—We ate indebted
to Capt. Townsend, of tlie ship Empress, jirrived yes
terday morning from Malaga, which port he left on" the
26th tilt, for the following interesting - intelligence. A
despatch was received at Malaga on-the 25t!i ult. from
Madrid, announcing tlie complete defeiit of tlie Cariist
Army, consisting of 14,090 men under the command
of General Gomez, (by the Oueen’s General Aliax.)
with tbe loss of several hundred killed and three thou
sand prisoners.
The engagement took place on the 21st September,
but the name of the place is not given. We also learn
from Capt. Townsend, that the above news was con
firmed by an extra Courier from Madrid, who arrived
a few hours before the Empress sailed. Great rejoic
ings in Malaga on account of the victoiy.
The Mew Jersey Election Ilill.—A bill was yesterday
(first day of ^essionj introduced and passed to be en
grossed, providing tor holdiHg the Congressional- and
Electoral i jection 0 n the 3d Tuesday and Wednesday
of November.
The New York Journal of Commerce of the 28th"
ult. says—"Money is quite scarce to-day and Money
Stocks lower than at any time befortf.” •
