returned upon such an enormous outlay ns this;
yet, in truth vve Had, that an increase equal
to a yearly interest of 5 per cent, is yielded.
We do not rccqlLct the average cost of the rail
ways iu the United States, but it is a sum far
less tlitru those of England, and the yearly re
ceipts, by an estimate made several years since
averaged C per cent, upon the whole capital in
vested. These facts sufficiently refute the ve
ry erroneous impression prevailing among those
who gave the subject no investigation, that rail
roads arc never profitable. In ilia excessive
zeal for such enterprises which prevailed
throughout our country several years since,
much extiavagance was committed, and many
prcmalure roads commenced. Still it is satis
factory to know that, considered as a whole,
they have been eminently successful both at
home and abroad. Those in our own fjitatc are
not sufficiently completed to show what they
are capable of performing, or yielding. But the
last yeutly returns show a largo increase of
business and corresponding income. It cannot
reasonably be expected that in their unfinished
condition divide dscau fce returned to the stock
holders. But when the period of their com
pletion arrives, this result will be attained.
Great animation and spirit now pervades the
directories of nil our rail roads, and if a corres
ponding feeding sliould actuate the Legislature
to push forward with vigor the State Road, the
success of our Internal Improvement system
in the ensuing twelve months, will restore con-
iidence in such undertakings, and place them in
such estimation with the people as they deserve.
AVe would here point out the importance of a
'Continuation of the State Ri a I, at least to the
junction of the Memphis*branch immediately.
Tho present terminus is n jw only 11 1-2 mdes
distant from this point. The grading is entire
ly complete, an J there is only needed an appro
priation for the superstructure and iron. A
few words will suffice to explain the impor
tance of this connection.—The Memphis Branch
Rail Road is only 17 3-4 miles in length, pas
sing over a very level route. It can and will
be completed with great expedition if all doubts
of the continuation of the State Road is remo
ved. Below Rome the Coosa river is naviga
ble 160 mile*. Thus the extension of the State
Road eleven miles farther will bring into use
180 miles of additional steam communication.
And in connection with the Georgia and Char
leston, or .Monroe aod Central Rail Roads,
would form a continuous line of rail way and
steamboat navigation of about 550 miles, exten
ding into the heart of Alabama and within thir
ty miles of the Tennessee river.
The value of the country borderingon,or con
venient to, the Coosa river, we apprehend has
never been sufficiently estimated. We gather
the following factsfrom the Census table of 1840
Of course each reader can set his own estima
tion upon the correctness of tho results there
•obtained. We think them sufficiently certain
for our purpose. Takingthe counties of Blount.
Benton, Cherokee, Delvalb, Jackon, Marshall.

Taltcdega; all of which, (though by no means
the numb: r that we anticipated will travel a

now trade via Madison, Geo. We find that the
population in 1840, was

The above results are very satisfactory, and
prove that the trade of the Coosa River is well
worth seeking, but they arc not tobe taken as
the limit of the capacity of the country. Two
thirds of this section is fresh and new. Its pro
ductive capacity is not half developed, and its
m neral beds just beginning to be explored. Tbe
Land Office was opened only this year in the
Cherokee counties, and already do we see a ra
pid change in the character of the inhabitants
and the permanency of the’r improvements.
They are just emerging from the d. lit cu! ties at
tendant upon opening a new country, and are
only now beginning to produce more than is re
quired fur home consumption. Tliey are se
cluded, nnd markets arc difficult of access to
them. But open an outlet by the rail roads cow
in contemplation from Rome to the sea-board,
and their progress will be rapid, and this sec
tion so fresh and wild will leap quickly into a
new life. It will soon develope its whole resour
ces and will become wealthy nnd desirable, as
it is now one of the most beautiful parts of the
State of Alabama.
After well considering the above facts nnd
reflections, if any can be found who would re
fuse to grant the appropriation to continue the
superstructure and iron of the Slate Road only
11 1-2 miles further to the intersection of the
Memphis Branch Rail Road, they must, we
think, he governed by the most illiberal prejudi-

Death of Albert Ktiolt, Emj.
The sympath ies of our community have been deeply en
listed, by the bnexpected intelligence of tbe death of Mr.
Uhf.tt, on Sunday evening, at his residence on Charleston
Neck. He was suddenly carried off by n fever, of a few
days duration, when’it was scarcely known, beyond bis im
mediate family, that he was sick.—Mr. Rltett was in tbe
spring-tide of existence, apparettdy possessing great vigor
of fame and constitution, when thus made another striking
and melancholy exampieofthe uncertainty of human life.
He was a distinguished member of’our bar. and also of our
State Legislature, in which he bore a conspicuous part and
ranged as a most eloquent debater. His talents were ofa
, high order, and the promises of usefulness and distinction
were gathered thick about him. He had recently moved
to tbe city, from another nartof this Slate, with the intention
of permanent residence amorg us, and bade fair to become
one of the most prominent of our citizens. His death has ad
ded largely to the inroad which depth has of late years made
on tne talent and usefulness ofthe State.—Charleston Cou

T!ic JJjrstety Solved.
We tinted on Thursday, that a $1000 bill of the National
Bank had been offered for change at Hamden's under sus
picious circumstances, and that three negroes named Mori
rison, TiMunan and Augustas, had been arrested on sus
picion of having become fraudulently possessed of it. . O.
M. Bounds. Esq who went to Philadelphia to make enqui
ries about the bill', returned yesterday; and flam him we
learn the following particulars. A rich southern gentleman
drew $19,000 in bills of S1000 each; fromthe National Bsnk
in this city, a short time since, which he intended t. take
south for investment. At die United States Hotel in Phila
delphia, he took two of the notes from the belt around bis
body in which hb had secreted them, and phefd them in his
pockelbock. Soon afterwards he missed his.pocket book,
and on instituting a search, it was found in one of the out
houses, the papers. Ac. all in it. but the money gone, 'thus
convincing him that he bad either dropped it or that it had
been picked front his pocket. A black malt named Bacon,
a servant in the hotel, was summoned before the Mayor of
Philadelphia, as he had been seen to corps from tbe out
house goon after the southern gentleman left it, and as the
two negroes arrested here, with Morrison had sworn that
the note was given to them by Bacon, who told them he
found it <n the out house. Bacon was then committed for
trial, and Tilghman and Augustus, the two negroes who
came oh here to get the note changed, will probably be used
as witnesses against him. The whole of the money has
thus been discovered, end wilt be restored to the loser, who
when urged by the Mayor of Philadelphia to advertise his
loss, said be would rathet lose the whole than be laughed at.

Thanksgiving Da;.
Owing to the novelty of the thing, we suppose, the
recent Thanksgi ving Day created less interest titan
might have been expected. Few thought of it; and
miisl of those that* did, we believe, attended to their
business'-as though they did not. The day came
and went, like other days, with little respect^ and
less of thanksgiving- True, most* of the places of
public worship were open—but we guess they were
thinly attended. Thanksgiving, if we ,cver
have anrther, and we wish it was engrafted on our
Constitution that :we should have at least one a
year, should be treated with more respect. The
custom is a very good as well as ancifetit one, and
there can be no harm in -sanctioning it.
nearer to market. When completed, judging from
all past experience in Rnil-JRoadS,- it will bring in
a Revenue, which, going into the State Treasury,
will thereby lessen our taxes to that amount.
But we should prefer to see the work sold to a
private company, provided, as said above, a fair
prieecouldbeobtai.net!, and Such company could
give assurances that the Road would be finished in
a reasonable time—and not Without. Connected
as it is, or stlnn will he, with the Central. Monroe,
andGeorgin Rail-Roads.it is of the first impor-
tance that the State work, through jts whole line,
should be put iu us,e as speedily^s possible. ■
Nor is there less anxiety and curiosity felt, as to
what the Legislature will do, with respect-to the
Stato Subscription to the Monrftc Rail-Road. It
is contended by the Company, that they.have hon
estly, fairly, and bona fide complied‘with their
part of the contract. If they have, it has become
a debt on the pari of tho Stale, and the Legislature
is bound by every sense of morality ami honor to
make the appropriation. AVe believe the only rea
son why-the IrtilLegislature did hot innke the ap
propriation, Was a mistiust On the minds of mem
bers, tlid(t|ie Stock was not boua fide taken, and
that the Company jtad not com plied with the terms
prescribed by the Legislature authorizing the sub
scription. Should the Legislature be satisfied on
this point, as we have no doubt they will be, they
can have no justifiable ground for refusing the ap.
propriation. ’

The Georgia Legislature
Assembled at the Capitol iff Milledgeville ycstcr-
lay. This is Annual Session that will be
held in this State—or We^fftight rather say. it is the
first of the Biennial Sessions, the present Legisla
ture being elected under the amended Constitution,
which now goes,into effect. But xve entertain lit
tle idea that the plan ofBienuial Sessions wjll ever
be carried out. Some .excuse for the assembling
ofthe Legislature every year will always be found
and it will be ever.an ea*y tnatter for the Gov
ernor to issue his proclamation and call the mem
bers together. For our part, we should be glad to
sec the Biennial Sessions plan adopted—it would
lessen the expenses of.the people vastly; and we
believe we should, have better legislation. It
cotild hardly bo worse, s t!t jn under the present sys
tem. If, with Biennial Sessions, a .Reduction of
tbe Members is consummated, we shall -begin to
think there are hopes of a permanent and salutary
reform in.our Slate Legislation.
How many of the good things promised by tbe
Whigs to be done when they got into power, will
be effected by the present Legislature, it is now
impossible to calculate—it would be asedsy tocal
culate the return of the last great comet—but wc
hope for tlie best. They can fulfil all their prom
ises, if they choose—as they will have a decided
majority in each house, and a sympathetic Execu
tive to back and advise them. We t ru-t too, more
over, that the Democratic members, differing from
tlie course and policy of the Whigs, when in tlie
minority, will lluow no stumbling blocks in the
way of the majority, in their efforts to legislate l'or
the good of tfic State—but, on the contrary, will co
operate with them in every measure having the
“greatest good of the greatest number” in view.
The programme of what the Legislature will do,
(which we have copied from the Southern Recor
der.) is Very well, as far as ilgoes. But the ques
tion is, not only what will the Legislature do?—
but also,how will they do it? A9 for instance, in
again passing the District Bill, (which we doubt
not they will,) will they have an eye to justice and
fair dealing, or will they gerrymander the State to
suit their own political views ? Or, if they organ
ize the Supreme Court, which we hope they will
do, will they consult the feelings ofthe whole peo
ple, or only the feelings of a majority in the Legis
lature? These are interesting enquiries—but it is
useless to extend them, or to speculate in any man
ner on what may finally be done. Neither will we
condemn their doitfgs in advance—but patiently
wait their movements, and see whether they merit
censuie or praise-

■ ■ z , Court 'tm-iial.
On account of the nod attendance of some of the officers
ordered to set on the trial nfCromfr-ri Summers, al Augusta,
after throe day’s attendance of those present, the'organiza
tion of the Court was suspended by order of tiie Governor.
The charge4 preferredf-ir which Gen. Summers was arres
ted andbrdnred to be tried are. that he has neglected tg or
ganize a regiment in his Brigade its requiredby taw, and
failed to obey orders for musters. Ac, in his Brigade—and
haa not- performed mili’arjp duty as required' of him, for'
years in hi* Brigade. He has been discharged, we learn
on parole of honor, to appear and stand his trial when the
Court is again ohiered and organized to try him.
This dash at a trial, will probably cost the State over two
thousand dollars, and how much more before Gen Sum-
mers is acquitted, or hashis sword taken front him—for not
showing it or the inuiter fields, is uncertain; not less though
than four or fire thousand dollars is yet to be addeU-to'tbe
cost of Ilia caise to he State, if he is tited.and if theoffieer s
who disobeyed tbe summons ofthe Commander-In-Chief
sliould he also arraigned, the appropriation to be made (br
a Military fund to defray, expenses wifi necessarily have tb
be large for tho next year.—Federal Union 31sl ult.
From the,Southern Recorder.
We would throw before our readers our impressions of
the actions ofthe approaching Legislature, so far as our op-,
portunities of ascertaining the views nf very many of those
who will constitute that body,•have enabled us to form an
opinion upon the subject.
We think theln, first, that a very thorough reform will be
made in regard to the.expeuses of the government. _ We
think that some,thirty thousand dollars per aunuin will be'
saved to tbe people by a reduction of the pay of the utetb-
bers to three dollars n day.
We believe the reduction measure ..of flic Legislature
will be carried; thus making further saving to tlie people, in
future years, of upwards of thirty thousand downs more.
In other words, by these two measures alcne tlie expenses
of legislation which has hitherto annually cost over one liuh-
I dred thousand dollars will be reduced to a little over Utirty
1 thousand. This is doing mueh, if no more were performed
i by tht Whig ascendancy.
I The State Road, we are inclined to believe, will be sold.
We are almost certain dial this will '-e done, if it is true as
we are informed, that it can be sold for at least one million, |
with assured guarantees of its being cartied out to tbe ter
mination by those who se»k it.

Not the least in magnitude, among the important
subjects that will be brought before the Legisla
ture, is the State Bail-Road. After the immense"
amount that has been expended (one-half of it-we
might say squandered) upon it, and the consequent
dissatisfaction and indignation it has aroused among
the people in all parts of the State, no little anxie
ty, as well as curiosity is felt, among the friends of
the gteat work, to know what is to be its final des
tiny—whether it is to he now abandoned, forever
to remain a standing monument of lolly and imbe
cility—or is to be completed, and become one of
the proudest triumphs of the age.
The Recorder ii of opinion the Road will be sold.
To this we shall have no objection, provided a fair
price can be obtained, and a responsible company
he the purchasers. But the Road musl be comple
ted—whether the State hold it or sell it, that must

purchaser, be either defeated or delayed, it is understood
ihatthc comparatively trilling amount of three lmtidred
thousand dollars will complete aud perfect this great state
enterprize; and from all the information, of Which wtr are pos
sessed, we do not hesitate to give our opinion, that the Le*
gislutuie will not, on account of such an outlay, permit the
entire loss of the enormous public treasure already expen
ded, nor suffer the world’s stigma and opproprium which
must be incurred by its failure at litis almost completed stage
of the work. And we rejoice to believe that tlie great re
form in the general expenses ofthe Stnte Government, con
templated by the Whigs, will enable the Slate to complete
this work, out ofthe curtailed expenditures of even two
sessions. At all events, neither for this work, nor for auy
other objects of public necessity or utility, will the people
be burdened Ky an additional taxation over that they have
Hitherto boi ne to so liu^e purpose.
The 200,000 dollars in contest by the Monroe Rail Road
Company, will be a subject of strict legislative scrutiny. If
after such investigation it should be found that the State in
good faith is bound for the amount, by the fair and perfect
compliance ofthe other part von its part, the Legislature
will not repudiate her own faitn, however injudiciously pled
ged—if otherwise, the mere name of State repudiation will
not frighten it into an injurious compliance with a vitiated
contract. •
Whilst we hope sincerely that the helter skelter juris
prudence nf Georgia may have opened the eyes of all of
every party, to the importance of an appellate tribunal for
the correction of the errors of our conflicting courts, we can
not say we are sanguine of the success cf the measure. Its
only hope is for the friends of this great measure of both
sides, to drop party names and considerations, so far as it is
concerned, and to rally to its support, as a great State
measure, essential for the safety ofthe rights of the citizen,
alike ofall parlies. Whether this will begone, and even
if done, whether they can-carry it, we think far from certain.
But whether carried or rejected, it ought to be, nnd will
by therandid, be hailed not as a party triumph or defeat,
but as it of right ought to be viewed, as a great Stole, ben
efit, or a great State misfortune, of which both parties
may share the honor or Otar the responsibility, according
to the result.
The law will probably be amended in relation to the se
lection of jurors for criminal trials, by selecting from the
Grand Jury box, and making the test of competent jurors,
their oath that they are unprejudiced, and their belief that
they can act as impartial jurors.
The expenses ofthe government, and the interest of tbe
State debt, will be provided for, (if it can ever be ascertai
ned wbat the State debt is',) without a cent’s addition to the
present tax.
The district bill will, we presume, again be passed.
Tli^y Central Bank, now in progress of liquidation, in the
co'irsPof next year by the receipt of tares and bonding, will
retire its whole circulation. The amount now out. is only
about 050.000 dollars we believe. What changes may be
made in the present, order for bringing it to a close we are
unprepared to say. But we believe we may say, that in
bringing it to as speedy a close as practicable, whilst justice
will be held out to parclissers foi CASH ; in consideration
of which, she solicits a share of public patronage.
