Juan de Dois Amadou. ~~ LOUISVILLE. - i With a view to eive a clear idea of our; town abroad . we think it necessary, since Hie usual criterion of judging its importance is denied, to atMe that there are now in Louisville ten considerable stores of dry go ods, and groceries—a manufactory of cot tons—one of b^ts—one of shoes and boots. A’}d to these, furniture and carriages are lo de here, painting, house carp nlering & bHeksmithing art executed in ail their va-< ri'ous brauches, together with other branches; “of business important in a well regulated community. There are no empty houses in. Louisville, & building is going on. With re fard to the Ogechee river, we confidently ope that it will yet be made to answer boat navigation—Should this great object be (, cried into effect, Louisville will yet be come a place of immense depot, and of course, great trade. Borne Boats, heaVy loaded with Cotton, Staves, &?. have al ready descended this river, without acci dent, and with little or no interruption. We have given this article, with aview; that people abroad may not think, (as those! at a distan- e are apt to do) that the bare ness of the columns of a newspapei 1 of adver tisings is a proper criterion try which to judge of the absence of mercantile capital, or mechanical and manufacturing ii dustry. Bitter complaints come to hand daily, of. the want of proper attention to the demands j of the war-worn soldier.—. This default we ! learn is entirely confined to the Southern de-. parlm ,nt. The laws provide, (if tve mis 4 take not) that soldiers shall be paid two months—-and in no ease tbeir pay shall be, fnder any pretext, retained over three months. How does it happen that some of these poor fallows are kept out of their money from 12 to 20 months ? We have bo objection to Members of and all Other public servants, being well paid.—hut thick il passing strange that those who j have fought the battles of their country j should be thus shamefully neglected, while l those who have control of the public nurse ! only “ feather their own nest.” —“ There’s something rotten in the state of Denmark*” j I In A soldier, who has fought and bled iu the service of his country, has written a letter from Smithville, 3NT.

SPECIE PAYMENTS. The bill to enforce the resumption oVape eie payments has* after an arduous discus- j sioo, been rejected, by one vote—one hun dred and nineteen members voting, out of one hundred and eighty-six. Th h import ant proposition has been ably and laborious ly debated, and lott after mature consider ation—>it would not become us, there!’n£, to arraign its fate, did we lament it—we re-: gret, however, that the measure did not re ceive its quietus from a fuller expression of tbe representative voice.
