lb THE TIACOIV GEORGIA TELEGRAPH From the Augusta Constitutionalist, IVliuf will the next legislature Dot On iho near approach of every session, this is a ques- lion very frequently naked, but as a general question very difficult to answer. It is pleasing to the patriot, however, t > believe, that.lheie are a few subjects of legislation, which will probably be agitated at the ap pro idling session. Upon which the strifes of parly will be hushed, nod some elTart made to do something fjr the permanent interests mid prosperity of the Slate. One important matter to be settled is, an oigantic ehango in the Legislature itself. The unwieldy „izc anJ enormous expense of this body, have produced universal conviction of the necessity of change; and reform upon this head seems to be progressing with most plea-big unanimity. Biennial sessions have al ready been established with much linmionj, and thn first step to the still more important change, reducing the size of the legislative body, was taken at the last session with little or no opposition. Both parlies will, it is hoped, continue to vie with each other in this pat riotic reform, the first effects of which will be to place Georgia in that elevated rank in the Union, to which her position and resources entitle her. To gay nothing of other advantages loo important to notice here, the very heavy saving in the expen-es of the government, which will result from this change in the legislative department, will at once make the Slate perfectly easy in its finances, und relieve it from those mortifying struggles which, for some years, it ha6 bad to enconn- t r. This will enable the State, without any increase of taxation, to extend, ptudcnily, hor great work of internal improvement, on which so much has been already expended, but which now, for want of a tri fling expenditure,'lie* in a u-cless and unprofitable condition. This improvement has become very un popular, nnd the feeling towards it is not difficult to i'u count fir. The scheme was truly a wise one, but the cxcrulion has been unfortunate. If tho State had been making an experiment, to see how much money could be wasted upon a great and noble enterprise, or how it could be expended in a way to produce the smdlcxi possible benefit, it could not have succeeded better than in the operations upon this road. The leading objects were to give facilities of intercourse with the North Weslern part of our own Slate, and to connect the Southern Atlantic coast with the great and fertile volley of the Mississippi, by a cheap and rapid communication. Several routes wetc recommended, nnd each bad its advocates. One it was proposed to carry by the way of Rome, and to terminate at Gun ter’s landing, on the Tennessee river. Another it was proposed to cany by the way of Cross Plains and con nect'with tho Tennessee river at Vannsvillc. Another proposed to connect with the Tennessee at Chatta nooga. Another proposed to stop at Cross Plains and connect with the 11 iwaearo road. It was the ill luck of tho State to adopt the worst, and proceed in the worst way to improve upon it. The route by way of 1’nmc was recommended by its cheapness, and by its reaching the Tennessee rieer below oil obstacles ex cept the Muscle Shoals, which are obviated by a rail road. The tcrminalian at Vannsvillo was. also recom mended by iis cheapness, and by its leading to a con nection with the liiwasscc road, and also with the river at a point equally, if not more favorable than Chattanooga. This route would have cost a half mill ion less than the route to Chattanooga. The latter, however, waa adopted, and it is difficult to say for whst reason, except that more money could be wasted on it. Tho route by Romo is now geoerally acknowledg ed to have been the route which the State ought to have adopted, but os the route to Cross Plains was pre fer ed, the Stale should have stopped there.—The Ilitvassre road would then have been finished, and connected with-it. Wagons fiom beyond the Tennes see would have had to continue only about thirty miles fertber, and many of the advantages of the Tcnnessco on the public debt.—Let this surplus, together with the incume of the finished pari of the r ad, he prudent ly and economically npplicci 10 laying the superstruc ture upon the road es tar as Cross Plains- A* theta will shortly be a connection with the rastern terminus, the finished part of the road will produce some profit, and when extended eleven or twelve miles beyond tho point already provided for. that profit will be very con- sdetable. There, the Memphis branch will intersect, and for about sixty-five miles of the slate road, must be a powerful feeder. In fact,'if the state rood should progress to this point, nnd never beyond, it would draw a trade that would probably pay anint-rcsl on tho cost of that part of the road. The fertile vallies of tho Etowa, the O.istemirlah. and Chattooga, and eight or ten of the finest counties of Alabama, will pour n rich trade through this channel—fed by an uninterrupted steamboat navigation on the Coosa as low as the ten Islands. The enterprising stockholders on this binnch aie now rapidly completing the giade of their road, with their own force, and as the grade is very light, they only require au assurance that the stale will meet them, to insure- the completion of the work at an early day. The state cannot, and will not hesitate to give this assurance, whatever hesitation there tnay be on the part of some, to a further progress for the piesent.

Stopping at this point the State should have put the grading under contract, and then have looked to its connections at the Eastern terminus, by which alone any valuable object could he effected, or any profit derived. A very small portion of the vast sums expended beyond Cross Plains, would have enrhlcd tho two connecting roads, long since, to ha«o made their connections, and the whole route might at this time hive been in profitable operation. In truth one half the amount literally thrown away upon the tunnel, and the grade for a double track, which never could have been needed, and which is never to be used, would have been sufficient for this purpose; some ex cuses have been nude for the unfortunate selection of the tonic, hut for tho vast expenditures beyond the tunnel, before that was completed, it wonld be difficult to find any. In fact it would be almost as difficult to find one for the 'tunnel itself, as it might have been avoided by a slight variation in the route. These errors have been committed. They arc freely acknowledged by the original and present friends of the enterprize and they are freely acknowledged here, to account for, and cxcuso the hostility to the whole work, which is to be found in many sections of the state. They cannot, however, be properly charged to cither political pailv—leading men of both parties, have been equally deceived and arc equally accountable for these errors. It is useless now to repeat, or even consider the charges so frequently made, that the inter ests of the stale have been sacrificed, to the influence of a clique of speculators. The question is not so much what has been dime, hut what ought to be done now 1 The enterprize has lost none of its importance, either in the estimation of the reflecting part of our own peo ple, or of the citizens of that vast and fertile region be yond the Tenues-er, with whom wc seek a btltcr ac quaintance. This will appear by the following letter lately received by the Post Master at Augusta; and of which he kindly permitted me to take a copy. The letter is dated at Latiudo, Wilson County, Tennes see, which liqs a little to the northeast of Nashville nnd is separated from the Kentucky line by a single county. (Copt ) -LAG A DO, Wilson Co.

This is a plain letter; writien by a plain man. in n plain way. It shows, however, the workings of a strong and comprehensive mind. It shows moreover the views and wants of the region with which our im provements arc to connect us. What a world of in ternal commerce is here opened to view by lb- sug gestions made, and information contained in ibis plain production! A region bounded by tbe Mississippi, the Ohio and the Allegany Mountains—the most fer tile country in the world, with a population of near two millions—and iapidly increasing, will be placed iri direct and rapid communication with us. A larzc portion of this legion would use our route for their exports, and the whole trade for our own consumption would be diicct. We should no longer lie found, as tve now arc. consuming bagging, bacon, flour, &c. which comes to us by a circuit of 3 000 miles, and with a freight and profit in some instances beyond the original cost. \\ lint then should be done to mike the best of the millions that have been injudiciously expended upon point short of Cross Plains. At this point the work will answer most, if not all the purposes originally contemplated. The turnpikes now building from West and Middle Tennessee would only have to be extended a little further, and it is believed on good authority, that if Georgia carries her road to Cross Plains and slops there, Tennessee will finish the Hiwassce road, cither as a rail oad or a turnpike. The one would be as good a feeder as the other. But suppose neither should be done? We should he on the very borders of the enchanting conutry through which this road passes, and to which it leads, and most of its trade, would as clearly belong to the ports connected with our road, as that of any portion of our own back coun try. Wc even now compete for it. and their want of on outlet and market, may be readily imagined when it is known that with the present inducements, wagons now come from Abingdon, in Virginia, to make their exchanges at Chattanooga!! And tvhal kind of coun try is this, the trade of which is to he added to that already pointed out. The fine climate, the fertile soil, the bold and beau tiful scenery of the Hiwassce, the Upper Tennessee, the Clinch, the Powell, tbe Holstein, and Broad riv ers—in fact, of the entiro country lying between the Cumberland end Unika Mountains, have been the theme of every traveller, and in cvciy thing that is de sirable to the cultivator of the s--il, is not sarpxssril by any country in the Union. Tbe population of this country now reaches near 300.000, and with the full advantages of a cheap commercial intercourse, the population would soon be doubled! Tbe unintended length of this article admonishes me to conclude it, aod I do so with an earnest hope, in which I think 1 will he joined by every reflecting I citizen, that the state may not l>e induced, cither by prejudice oi pa-sion, to undervalue this great enter prize—that our legislators may not act hastily, or re fuse to act at all. That they will adopt some prudent and discreet course to bring it into usefulness and profit. They will receive the approbation, I am sure, ot the present generation, and secure the gratitude of unborn millions.

MACON: AKRIVAI, OF TOE STEAtlER OIBERMA Bosto.v, Oct. 18. The British Royal Mail Steamship Hibernia, Capt. Jud- kins, was telegraphed at half-past 11, and arrived about 2 o'clock. By this arrival we have Liverpool dates to the 4th, and London to the morning of the same day. Business throughout the whole of Europe continued in a prosperous condition. The most important items of news are the loss of the East India Mail Steamer and the Revolution in Greece. The pelitical state of Europe seems to he more critical and alarming than it hss been fur years.—An under current of disaffection, long pent up by the force of circumstances, seems • to have burst its fetters, and is now careering its course onward among thenatious—now stealthily creeping along like the silent and insinuating rivulet, and anon dash ing over the rocks like the impetuous cataract. In Ireland, the repeal question shakes the country to its centre—Wales, from sooth to north, is in open rebellion against the laws—■' Spain hatches a new revolution about once a month—Italy j is troubled with intestine broils, and iv fast verging upon anarchy—France, ia hatching conspiracies against the legal power—and Poland is giving unequivocal symptoms that the yoke ofthe oppressor still sits uneasily upon the necks of her people. Another great eruption had taken place from the crater of Mount Vesuvius, exhibiting a beautiful appearance, and almost turningday into night at Naples. A good many emigrants are about leaving various parts or Euopo for Algiers—tbe iuducements held out to them by tbe French government being considered very inviting. Many arrests were made at Naples on tbe occasion ofthe fete iff Madonna di Piedigtolta. The strikes at avast number ofthe collieries in England still continued at the last accounts, and fears were enter tained that the winter supply of coal would be short. The A gram Gazette says, that the inhabitants of Bihaez in Croatia were aloul to tparch against tbe Pasha, under the guidance of Omar Bey. The cause of this revolt is not sta ted. The * Borsecnhalc’ of Hamburg says, “ The disturban ces which took place a few days ago near the Miilern Gate, were repeated yesterday, but the troops soon restored tranquility.

This is owing to the favorable weather for picking out, and the fact that many planters are holding back in expectation of an improvement in prices. The maiket, however, is quite animated, aod sales brisk. The news per Hibernia, caused an ad vance here of $ to | cent; but, the same cduse having had noeflcct on the seaboard markets, oth er than to increase sqles, we see no good reason why the advance in this market should be sustain ed. Prices at present range from 6 to 63 in round bales, and from Gi to G<| in square bales. Oniyes- terday, the receipts were moderate; and we per ceive an unwillingness, on the part of most ofthe buyers, to adhere to the' above quotations.

As usual, they did not hold an open,honorable fair fight. They fought under the banner of deception, with all the arts of hypocrisy and corruption they had at com mand. Had they brought out their “Old Coon,” and hoisted their Tariff banner,’ the way we should have skinned them would be a caution. But we are not at all discouraged. The Whigs cannot hold power in Georgia more than a year at a time. By next election, those Democrats who had enlisted under General Apathy and General Indlf Terence, will be found nt their posts, zealously en gaged in the cause. The Whigs cannot maintain their ill gotten power. We predict the present Legislature will be as unpopular as the last, They cannot do all they have promised ; nnd if they do not, tbe people will be dissatisfied and turn them out. It they should do all they have promised, we should be willing to let them slay thfere. Conventions—CxiiicuHca, 8tc. The friends of Mr. Calhoun are accused again and again, of an intention oT distegarding entirely the action and authority of a National Convention unless it should decide favorably to their wishes. This charge is denied strenuously by most of the organs of Mr. C. and we hope with truth and sin cerity. Stilfwe see su many indications of a con trary’ temper, that we have our fears of a ready and cheerful acquiescence in the decision of the coming great Democratic National Convention, on their parr, should it be adverse to their interests. Else, why the eflort that is being made in certain quar ters, to forestall and prejudice the public mind gainst the fairness of said proposed Convention ? Why the endeavor to attach corruption to it in advance, and bring it into ridicule ami contempt? Why endeavor to make it synonymous with the Federal Caucus, as both being one and the same thing, equally corrupt and unprincipled ? The article below, which we find in the. Soutli Carolinian,copied from the Mobile Tribune., is a case in point. As applied to Caucuses, there is a great deal of truth in it—too much truth. But caucussing is a machinery the Republican party has nothing todowith. The word does not belong to tlieir vocabulary. But a Convention is a differ-’ erp affair. Here, every thing is do tie open ly and above board, and the people have the selection of the Delegates. While nothing can be more cor- exchange.

We confess that all we have readonly tends t} strengthen our conviction that a national to select a candidate for the presidency cannot be organized on any intelligible principle. The whole theory, is a contrivance to | put aside the provisions of the Constitution by an extra-con- j stitutional choice. The real election is made in the caucus of the dominant party. These facts only tend to demonstrate the absolute pro-j priety of an appeal directly to the popular vote, if a conven tion he used. The idea of a handful of men collecting to gether and naming delegates to a convention 10 givp tho votes of a State, without any authority from the people, is too absurd to be tolerated. Mr. Van Buren brings disgrace upon the Democratic par ty and all its professions of regard for popular government, by suffering in his own State so hideous and deformed a transaction. We trust that no gentleman who represents a popular conrtituency will condescend to sit iii a council of the pai ty widi delegates selected m so shameful a disregard of the feelings of the people. rgUIE subscriber has j«,t ^ .

Very respectfully, M.*H: HAMILTON Manon, Oct 31, 1843 vice nearly oil the vessels in ordinary The cause of these movements was a matter of much speculation and inquiry. The Journal de l'lndre announces thst Gen. Bertrand (now in the United States) has mode a present to the muni cipality of his native town, Ohoteouroux, of the following articles:—The Sabre worn by Napoleon in Egypt; the large decoration of the Legion of Honor, which lie wore for a long period; the small decoration of ihe same order; the cr» ss of the iron crown ; n silver gilt necessaire, which he had with him in his rniupnigns; a part of tlie books which composed his library ot ct. Helena; and .1 copy of the full length portrait ofNapoleon in Egypt, by Gros. The Barcelona papers of the lCtn announce that the two Carlistchiefs, Zonlhi and Morela, have collected bands, nnd are devastating the towns of Colnlonia. in the name of Narvocz and Christina, who, in their despair, have flung themselves into the arms of the Carlista. IRELAND. The Repeal agitation continues in Ireland with ucabated ardor, but without exciting any apparent olarm on the part of the government. It is stated that the government is se crctly yet actively maturing plans to crush the first attempt at electing an Irish Parliament. Mr. O'Connell, in his speech at Clifton, had stated that bis 4 * monster meetings’* were nearly over—that he should not hold more than seven or eight more of them—that tlie country was sufficiently aroused—and that the giant moral power of Ireland was now strong enough, with subordination and discipline, to ac complish all they wanted—“Repeal, and nothing but Re peal!’* COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The revival of trade is the theme of general congratula tion. Every branch of business feels its nourishing glow. Ir« the manufacturing districts all is bustle and activity. The demaud too, is principally confined to the home market Orders from the East, more particularly for China have come pouring in of late. But the other great foreign mar kets, ihe United States and Brazil—are in a state of com parative, if not actual stagnation. The Cotton market, that unerring barometer of the commercial temperature—con tinues active, sometimes buoyant. The sales for the week, ending the 30th ult. (Saturday,) have not been quite so great as previously,but the demand has been well sustained, and holders ore firm. Speculations has subsided a liitle, but ihe present feeling is at once healthy and encouraging. The same remark applies to the market to/ Colonial pro duce.

Flour has advaoced 1 shil ling per sack, and Canadian Wheat and Flour are a good deal inquired for. The accounts respecting the new Cotton crop, which came to hand by tlie Britannia are deemed favorable to holders. The sales on Saturday exceed 6000 bags, of which 2000 were taken on speculation. But Monday last was one of the most stiring days which has ever occurred in the market. The sale amounted to 20,000 hags of which enormous quantity, speculators look one half. Yesterday being Tuesday, the great Manchester market day, there “Health of flic Connlir. w In the little paragraph in our last, under the a- bove caption, we had no idea of wantonly exciting the mortal fears of any one—more especially the fears’of our nejghbor of the Messenger—who, we had no reason to suppose, had yet made his peace with earth, and was prepared to leave it.

If any one has been misled, by the little article alluded to, we seriously regret it. It was written in baste, just as wc were going to press, and under tlie excitement of a fever we bad been laboring un der foi some days. In consequence of which, probably, our ideas may not have been so clearly expressed as they might have been. In writing tbe paragraph, we did not intend to convey the idea, that we had any yellow fever, or black vom it, or other contagtous disease among us: but sim ply, that the peculiar state of the weather—its mild temperature, tbe drought, the dust, dec. dec. bad produced a great deal of sickness, in Macon and the vicinity—manageable cases, all, comparative ly speaking—but still, many deaths, and a vast a- mottnt of sickness, pain, sorrow, and suffering. We spoke only of our own circle of acquaintance —of what we sow, suffered, and Jmetc. If the suf fering lias been less in other circles, we ate ex tremely grateful therefor. Since our last, there has been an agreeable change of weather—we have had moderate show ers of rain—the dust has been laid—there has been considerable frost—and the weather has again tur ned off, pleasant, dry, and cool. We fondly trust now, the last seeds of disease have been extermi nated, and if any have entertained fears, which wc can scarcely believe, about coming to Macon, they must now be abandoned. Speaking of the health of Macon, we are infor med by Mr. Y. Johnston, keeper ofthe county Jail located in this city, that, during the three years he litis held the office of Jailer, there has not been a single death in the institution—and but one case Macon.
