Y. 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.

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- Alex.

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.

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.

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. , N.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
