Varaalna ef a Nteaniki|i Line letwfMl
BrUiaa nnil the Noul'-iein Ml atfiu.
The establishmnnt of regular steam
ship line/between Uelgium and certain
portions of the New World, has long been
a popular project. Many attempts to con
nect Antwerp with Yew York have taker,
place within the past twenty years. They
have not been successful for reasons which
it is needless to mention. No cause, how
ever, has been given for discouragement,
and the time lias come to make new efforts.
Government and commerce seethe neces
sity of it, and it is to he hoped that the
establishment of a regular line of steam
ships between this port and New York is
not far distant.
But New Y ork is not the only point of
the United States with which it is desira
ble to maintain commercial relations. The
Southern States aspire also to have their
steamship lines, and to place themselves
in direct communication with this country.
Negotiations, in which the planters took
the initiative, have been on foot for many
years and have arrived at a successful ter
mination, and it is believed that a steam
er will soon lie running between Antwerp
and Savannah.
A company has been organized under
the name of the Belgic-Ainerican Compa
ny for the development of direct commeice
with the Southern States of the United
States of America.
To aid this project the General Assem
bly of the State of Georgia, at its session
of the IStli of December, passed a law,
the provisions of which are as follows:
The society, created for a term of twen
ty-five years, shall enjoy domiciliary
rights on the territory of the State of
Georgia, and of trading, purchasing and
selling merchandize there. They shall al
so enjoy all the commercial rights and priv
ileges of citizens of the State, and on
Equal turmu with them, to ttli lilt, puSSCSS,
hold and freight sea going vessels propel
led by wind and steam, and, also, to pos
sess and use such quays and lots of ground
bordering on the river in the city of Sav
annah or in any ports of the State of Geor
gia that may be desirable, necessary or
suitable to the carrying on of their opera
tions. They shall have the light of alien
ating and disposing of such property as
we have just mentioned. They shall be
amenable to the courts of the country.
They shall have a common seal and signa
ture for all papers used in the transporta
tion of merchandize, products of every
kind and passengers between the port of
Savannah, or other ports of Georgia, and
that of Antwerp or other ports in Europe,
as they may deem proper.
The directors and managers of the com
pany w ill proceed as soon as they deem it
opportune to the undertaking of the enter
prise, conformably to the regulations and
provisions of the decree of the King of
Belgium of June ID, 1S60,
The company , when definitely organ
ized, is empowered to issue stock shares
for the sum of two inillious of dollars—
each share at the. rate of twenty dollars,
though they shall be privileged to issue
them at one hundred dollars or more.—
These terms will be offered to the citizens
of tire. Southern States, on condition that
each share of twenty dollars shall repre
sent one vote, and that in the elections of
directors and managers no slaveholder
shall have more tliau a hundred votes,
and that the provisions of the statutes of
the company which may be in conflict
with those preceding shall be harmonized
with them. The shares thus issued, the
State of Georgia guarantees the interest
upon them at the rate of five per cent, for
five years. A sum of edOU.OOO is thus an
nually appropriated by the State, upon
the following conditions:
In tiie first place a commissioner will
he appointed by the Government to ex
amine the responsibility, resources and or
ganization of the company, its standing,
and the means with which it is prepared
to carry out the intentions and provisions
of t!^ contract. lie will make a return
of the number of vessels at the disposal
of the company, as well as their style of
build and capacity. If after obtaining
this information he is convinced that it
would be to the real interest of Georgia to
establish the line clothed with its full pow
ers, the Governor shall guarantee, through
the agency of the. same commissioner, the
payment of the interest above stipulated.
The annual net gains of the enterprise
will be deducted from the sum of 6100,000
and if the net gains should exceed that
sum, such surplus to he equily divided be
tween the State >‘f Georgia and the com
pany, and it is claimed that this would
maintain the line. Things would be so
arranged as to insure a monthly arrival
and departure from Savanah, or some oth
er port within the limits of Georgia.
Such are the principal intentions of the
law; the others are but of secondary im
portance.
'There is a certainty of favorable con
ditions, and we have no doubt of the suc
cess of this enterprise, if it is conducted
with intelligence and economy, as the ba
sis on which it rests its operations is well
prepared, which is a very essential point.
It is unnecessarj' to enumerate the ad
vantages which will result from it. They
cannot he other than very considerable to
trade and commerce.
A Stiff I.illlf Programme.
The redoubtable General Webb, w ho w as
saved from the New York State Prison by
Executive clemency, indulges the readers
of his paper, the Courier if Enquirer, with
a column on “The Crisis,” from which we
clip the subjoined paragraph:
Each and all of these tests, has the Con
stitution borne and triumphed over; and
out of each has the Government and the
Union emerged stronger than ever. And
so will it be now. The present crisis is
the most severe which has yet occurred;
and it is the most difficult of adjustment,
for the simple reason that it is so causeless
—because there is in fact, so far as the se
ceding States are concerned, no cause of
complaint, and consequently, no injustice
to remedy. They arc in open rebellion
without cause, and simply to establish a
separate Government for the benefit of as
piring demagogues who cannot obtain
power under the Government of the Union.
It is scarcely necessary to say. that in re
gard to them, the duty of the incoming
Executive is clear. Recapture our forts
and artinah and all the property stolen from
the General Government, cost ichat it may.
Enforce the laws collect the revenue. Put
down rebellion, crush all treason and hang
the. traitors.
If Abraham undertakes to carry out
that programme, it will keep him and
Robert and “the old woman" all busy for
the next four years. If he wants to try
his hand at hanging traitors, let him begin
with Webb. We know of no mau whose
death would be less regretted.

Sr.r, 4. And be it further enacted, That the | dent of the Confederate States shall from time to
liable means of information, of which they have
been able to a vail themselves, that the excess of
expenditure over the receipts of this department
in the six States composing this Confederacy, for
the fiscal year ending 30th June, ltd*, was one
million six hundred and sixty thousand five hun
dred and ninety-five dollars and eighty-three
cent?. They have not beeu aide to obtain the re
port of snch receipts and expenditures tor the last
fiscal year, but they presume the above furnishes
an approximation sufficiently accurate for the pre
dication of our present action.
To provide for this deficit, your committee
would suggest that the rates of postage may be
increased, as proposed by the accompanying bill.
By this bill, they estimate an inereas of receipts
approximating live hundred and seventy-eight
thousand eight hundred and seventy-four dolllars
and eighty-three cents.
They believe that a saving can bo effected by a
change in the mode of letting out mail contracts,
adopting what is usually called “the star bid sys
tem.'’ Providing all our safeguards for the ce
lerity, certainty, and security of the mails, hut,
without other restrictions as to the mode of trans-
poitation. In this way your committee are satis
tied that the expense of mail transportation may
be reduced say thirty-three and one third per cent
upon the present cost, say six hundred and nine
teen thousand and thirty-three dollars,
j They are further of opinion t hat there should be
a discontinuance of numerous routes, the cost
of which is greatly in disproportion to their con
venience. and the receipts of the post offices sup
plied by them. In this way, they believes saving
of one-tenth of the present cost of transportation
may be attained—say two hundred and six thou
sand three hundred and forty-four dollars.
The service upon many of the routes may.
l wilhont material detriment, be changed—daily
i routes reduced to tri-weekly, &c., at an estimated
j reduction of say two hundred and six thousand
' three hundred and forty four dollars.
| They would also recommend the abolishing a
I Humber of minor post otEi-es, which occasion con
siderable expense, without corresponding profit or
convenience. In this way, a saving to the Depait-
uient might be readily secured to the amount of
say fifty thousand dollars.
These sums added, say by increased
receipts by reason of postage rates. i$578,r'71 83

from the people of Georgia to the General Assent-
ply of this State, was formally received on Wed
nesday evening last, by the combined members
of tho Sonata aud House. The halt was crowded ;
the galleries thronged with ladies, and the cere
mony was most imposing.
Hon. Samuel Hall was presented to the Gen
eral Assembly by Ed W. 11*11, Esq , in a short
and eloquent address. Commissioner Hall then
delivered oue of the most forcible address we ever
listened to. The large audience listened breath
lessly as the speaker recited the causes which led
to the present condition of the country—save only
when they broke out in lond cheers as his elo
quence touched the Southern heart. When he
asked his North Carolina audience if they would
see Federal troops pass through their State to co
erce the people of South Carolina or of any other
Southern State, sueli aery of “Never, never “
went np from that assem't.y as was never before
heard within those walls. . “I know yon will
not,” the speaker responded ; “I will believe
when I see it—but never before, so help me God."
(Another shout of “Never, never,” and loud and
prolonged cheers )
In another place we give a lengthy report of
tho speeches on this occasion. That of Fommis
sioner Hall barely does him jnstiee, but it is as
full a report as we could give. The response of
Mr. Speaker Clark is characteristic of the man
and a credit to his own heart aud the State he so
well represented
Hon. Samuel Hall is a descendent of several of
the most distinguished families whose mimes adorn
the Revolutionary history of North Carolina. Tin-
blood of John Ashe, who resisted the introduction
into the Cape Fear country, of the stamped papei
of the British Government in 1775, flows in his
veins. The descendant is worthy of the ances-

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
N ACT TO ORGANIZE AND ESTABLISH THE DE
PART MENT OF JUSTICE.
8ec. 1. The Congress of the Confederate States
of America do enact, That from and after the pas-
eite discussion at the present time. If there should
br differences of opinion he did not think that
it would be to any material extent. The practi
cal question for our consideration is, what shall
be done with the public lands? The ordinances
passed by the conventions of Louisiana and Mis-
iss'.ppi have claimed for these States all the pub
lic lands being within those States. Georgia
and South Carolina are now the only original
States in this Confedeiacy, within which there are
no public lands. I tru.-t, however, that other
States may join us at some future day. The
opinion prevails, to a large extent, that it will be
the best policy to surieuder to the Stales, in
which those public lands are situated, all sueh
territory. As a source of revenue to the Govern
ment, they cannot be relied upon. The expense
of disposing of them would soon exhaust all the
profits arising from their sale. Upon consultation
with the chairman of the commitlee on public
lands, I have deemed it expedient to introduce
inis resolution, in order that jthe committee may
enquire into the best course to adopt in reference
to the public lands, aud to request them to report
at their conveniei.ee.
Mr. Wright of Ga , said the resolution offered
by the gentleman from Alabsmu (Mr. Shorter.)
vas iu relation to a matter of grave importance,
and had been the subject of reflection and ex
amination iu the committee on public lauds, of
which he was a member. If the resolution is
submitted to the committee, he was satisfied it
would receive full aud careful consideration. He
also favored tho reference to the committee on
public lands
The resolution was accordingly referred.
Mi. Chesnut of S. C., presented a memorial
from George Fox and John C. Thornton citizens
of Georgia, on the subject of patents, which he
moved, without reading, should be referred to
the committee on patents—referred.
Mr. Waul of Texas offered a memorial from
Ilenry Winslow, a citizen of New Mexico. With
out being read the memorial was referred to the
committee on territories.

on Indian affairs.
Mr. Rhettof South Carolina said he rose mere
ly to state to Congress that the labors of the com
mittee on the peimanent Constitution had very
nearly been brought to a close, a portion of the
permanent Constitution had been placed in the
hands of the printer a few days ago, and he hop
ed by Wednesday morning next to be able to lay
the whole of that Constitution before this body.
The President said the next business was the
consideration of the bill in relation to public
printing.
Mr. T R. R. Cobb expressed the desire that
that bill should lie over a day. as the committee
were desirous of having another interview with
the public priuter before tbe bill came up for con
sideration.
The bill was accordingly postponed.

POSTAL REPORT AND BILL.
The annexed report and bill were adopted iu
secret session on tbe 21st of February, and secre-
sy removed to-day:
Total 1,660,425 83
Present excess of expenditures over
recepts 1,6C0,C(15 83
Your committee are of the the opinion that
steps should be immediately taken to procure
postage stamps of the deuomimation of two, five
aud twenty cents; that these stamps will be suffi
cient to meet the wants of the department for the
present.
They would further suggest that immediate
steps should be taken for procuring a supply of
iocksand kovs for the mail service, and for post-
office blauks such as are now in use:
They would further recommend that all the
mail contracts within this Confederacy be re-lcf at
as early a day as practicable; and until they are
re-let tho existing contracts remain in force, this
Government becoming responsible to all such
contractors from the 8th day of February, 1801.
Your committee are unable to suggest any plan
until further arrangements shall have been n-.ade
for the transmission of mail matter to and from
other governments. They oelieve, however, that
until postal treaties can lie made, expedients aris
ing from the necessities of the public, will readily
suggest themselves which will, in a great meas
ure, remedy the inconvenience. The wide-spread
ramifications of the express companies would fur
nish valuable atixilaries for communication be
yond the Confederacy, the mail matter bearing
tiie stamps of each Government through which
it may pass by said express.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

The New York and (Georgia Weir.IIre.
The New York Post, in accounting for
the seizure of arms in that city, says the
Superintendent of Police, Mr. Kenedy, did
it on his own responssbility. acting on the
principles laid down by Judge Smalley,
in his recent charge to the Grand Jury.
The Express, which takes an honest
view of all questions, has the following
cornmeut on the last seizure of vessels in
the port of Savannah:
The news from Georgia, to-day is of the
utmost importance. The meddlesome and
mischievous proceedings of our meddle
some and mischievous Police Superinten
dent, in repeating his seizure of Georgia
arms, intended for shipment to Savannah,
by the steamer Huntsville, a few days
since, has been followed by further repri
sals upon New York property at that port
by order of Governor Brown.
# # # #
Governor Morgan, we believe, is now iu
this city. Let him at once order Police
man Kenedy to give up those Georgia
goods and relieve our merchants and ship
owners, from the annoyance and loss,
which must necessarilly accrue from the
retaliatory policy in operation at Savan
nah; or else, let our people know if the
war-making power no longer remains in the
President and Congress of the United
States, but in a Republican State Police,
located in the city of New York. If it is
right and proper that these arms, for which
Northern manufacturers have Southern
money in their pockets, should be detain
ed, the right must be exercised by the
Federal authorities, and not by a meddle
some mischevious police superintendent.
The whole thing, in the judgment of nine-
tenths of the citizens, is a flagrant and im-
pertinant assuption of undelegated power,
and (quite independently of the Georgia
action,) ought to eu'ist forthwith the at
tention of the United States Courts.
Per Contra, the Abolition Tribune boils
over harmlessly, in a manner and form as
follosw:
Governor Brown of Georgia is.again at
tempting to ruin the commerce of his
State by seizing vessels which belong to
citizens of New York. He has taken pos
session of three, which he proposes to held
till the arms stopped in this city are re
turned. When a similar act was done, two
weeks ago, he receded from his position
within a few hours, declaring that the dig
nity of Georgia bad been asserted. It ap
pears now, however, that it is necessary
to assert this troublesome and predatory
dignity ouce a fortnight. We may expect
next to hear that Governor Brown has per
sonally taken to tho ‘road,’ and that be is
nightly engaged in cutting jiurses in the
same noble cause.
Suppose he should, would that be any
worse than the highway robberies of your
New York Police, which you are attempt
ing to defend.
The Charleston Raft.—We have been
favored with a rrugli sketch of the raft
which is nearly completed at Charleston,
and with which it is proposed to attack
Fort Sumter. The attacking apparatus is
floated ou a sold structure ofPalineto logs
which are transversely laid and securely
fastened together. In front a barrier is
built, which slopes from the edge of the
raft to a height sufficient to protect the
gunners, who will man the heavy guns on
the raft. This barrier is made with rail
road iron so interlocked as to bo impene
trable to any missiles which may be fired
against it. The whole affair is pushed
forward by steam tugs staioned in the
rear, and will probably be one of the most f
formidable engines of destruction yet de
vised. Our informant is of the opinion
that the attacking party will be perfectly
secure from the guns of Fort Sumter, while
their heavy guns must have a decided ef
fect against the walls of the doomed fortress.

THE MINUTE MEDICINE.
Radway’s Ready relief conquers pain, arrests fe
vers, subdues spasms, restores suspended animation,
and is the only stimulant in existence thut repels at
the outset all attacks of disease, affording time te
prevent the return of the paroxysm by means of Rad
way’s Regulating Pills. The great object of primary
medication is to meet the fiist shock of a disorder
with a powerful counterworking influence, and thu,
prevent prostration. If the vital power can be sus
tained until the cause of sickness is removed by pur
gation of the bowels, and an equalization of the cir
culation, a cure is certain. This gr&tid object is ac
complished by the Ready Relief, which should there
fore always be at hand to met emergencies.
Radwny’s Regulating Pills empty the obstrnefeu
bowels without pain, act specifically upon the liver
aud at once purify nod nourish the blood and restore
the equilibrium of the circulation. Without risk of
the after consequences of Calomel, Blue Pill, Quinine
Potuah or Iron; they at once expeil ail morbid matter
from the system am! recruit its energies—acting as a
purgative,alterative and stomachic. In these effects
vegitable medication has its perfect triumph.

Krrcptisa sf the Northern President Elect.
Mr. Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, the northern
President elect, arrived here yesterday in his cir
cuitous route to the Federal Capital He per
sists in calling bimselt President of tbe United
States, when it is patent to everybody, who reads
the newspapers, that they are the dis-united States.
Mr. Lincoln was received without enthusiasm,
and his reception, taken all in ail, was the most
meagre iu detail and in execution of any Presi
dential reception that ever occurred in New York.
Only about thirty flags were flying on Broadway.
Several of the newspaper offices displayed no
bunting, and not a southern ship in port ran np
the stars and stripes ! It was remarked that the
vessels which displayed flag* were nqarly all for
eign. Quite a large number of curious people,
augmented mainly by those out of employment,
and who had nothing else lo do, lined Broadway,
but there was no enthusiasm. A few straggling
cheers occasionally went up from some expectant
officer-seeker, but the people looked frigidly on,
and contented themselves with remarks in an un
dertone, not at ail complimentary to the Union
$pl tter. “Why don’t yon cheer ?” said a by
stander to a crowd who were looking at the Illi-
noisian in silence. “Cheer !” replied several in
stantaneously, “We would like to know what we
have to cheer him for, except for throwing us out
of employment ” And tbis seemed to be tbe gen
eral impression of all who looked vacantly on the
royal display invented for the occasion
Tbe “Republican" papers try to make ont that
Mr. Lincoln's reception was a grand and _ impos
ing affair, but they know very well that tbis story
will only be swallowed by their subscribers in (he
country. No ?* ew Yorker will be deceived by it
In fact, “Republicans" themselves, candidly ad
mit that tbe occasion was tame and spiritlase to
tlte last degree, and not a few openly and honestly
avow their ntter disappointment in Mr. Lincoln.
Aside from a gang of hungry office-seekers who
hang on the skirts of Lincoln with abject fawn
ing and flattery, be has to-day no earnest support
ers in New York, unless they be open dasnnioniate
or Abolitionists.—Day Book.

Andover, X. H., Oct. 15,1850.
Messrs. S. W. Fowlr Ac. Co., Boston,—Gentle
men:—I have an earnest desire tiiat all persons sul-
fering front pulmonary complaints should know the
wonderfn! virtues of Dr. Wutar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry, and make the following stutement with the
hope that some skeptical person may be induced to
give it a trial.
Six years since I was attacked with a violent cough
and resorted to physicians, first at home, and next
abroad, of acknowledged skill and repututKia, aud
made uso of many patent medicines, but the result of
all this only loosened the purse strings, without the
slightssl benefit.
The disnse augmenting to such a degree ns to defy
the skill of the physicians and the hopes of friends
I was induced as a last resort, to make a trial of yonr
popular Balsam, without any confidence in its merits,
as that had boon destroyed by numerous trials of ad
vertised nostrums. But the effect was magical! My
friends were again hopeful, and1 was astonished ot
the rapid change. Tbe racking cough, the severe
pain iu my side, aud deluging nightsweats, which had
reduced mo almost to a skeleton, abated and I was
soon in a fair way of recovery, aud by a continued use

of no class of persons to whom we could better rec
tnmend “Jacob’s Cordial,” than those who follow
the sea. Subjected as they are to cold and heat,
storm ami sunshine, renders them liable to the mary
iiseasos of the lungs and bowels, and a most valua
ble addition to the medicine chrsr, would be a pack

rlitea, Cholera Morbns, Ate., this medicine can be rt-
tied on, if the directions are followed out; and to ad
those, especially, who make long voyages, we would
recommend it as the best medical preparation that
can be laid in; and we are thorougly convinced tiiat
if a trial is once made with the medicine, it will al
ways after be thonght indispensable to the medicine
chest.
