This ravine enters the river nearly McCall’s ' Ware-House, and would c as a canal to cany the water from the ictinery. The length of the race-way from dtm to the proper site for tho machinery jj be about three fourths of a mile. The nil is nearly level, and the soil easily’ cxcava- i—ami there is probably no rock in therouto cent a few feet at the starting point, which *uld form a most substantial bulk head to the ce wav. The fall attained in this distance is obably 13 lo 20 feet, which is ample for any rpose for which it would bo required.

They can at a far j expense than any othpr City in the Stale, introl an ample water power, free from all mgeror inconvenience, from the high waters lhc river. . Temperance Convention, The large and respectable meeting held by [lie friends of Temperance in this city last week, the best evidence that could bo given of the ride spread influence which this cause is gain- I in Georgia. Delegates from almost every tiety in the State were in attendance, each ting with the other in cnorgy nnd zeal for suppression of the evil which these socie- are intended to reform. On Thursday, boLJ. A. Wingfield, of Putnam, delivered an Lures* before the Convention, and a large and L hncJ audience of ladies and gentlemen, on lire subject of Temperance. This address for psieness, elegance, beauty of diction, st rength t;i appositeness of moral thought and teflec- ioi, was incomparably the ablest we ever re- Liember to have heard on the subject; and Lust hare left a deep impression on the minds Lf his andience. The cause of temperance as an able advocate in such men as Col. |lfingfield; and we hope his address will be published, both for the advantage of the cause was intended to promote, and the satisfac tion its pcrusil will afford every one into whose l-aads it may fall. committee of gentlemen of the city of Mobile on the subject of Annexation. The leiter is like every thing that comes from that distinguished man—able, dignified ar.d conclusive, in its ar guments, and we need scarcely bespeak for it the leader’s attention. COTTOxTiTstlUAKE BAGS, The “Chamber of Commerce” of Savannah, at its late quarterly meeting, urges upon the planters of Georgia to put up their cotton in square bags; and we see that the subject has called forth some very appropriate remarks, from the Macon Messenger and Savannah Re publican. We have heretofore taken occasion to suggest the necessity of this course, and shall do so again occasionally. Heretofore the difference in price between square and round cottons, in Macon and other inland market*, lias been almost nominal, the only real difference perceptible has been that the square commanded more ready sale, wlwn cotton was dull. For this reason the planter has not found any necessity to change his old custom of picking round bales. But this will not be the case hereafter. A settled disposition manifests itself among the buyers on the sea board, to make a distinction in favor of square packages, amounting probably to J of a cent, per pound, which will of necessity force the buyers of the interior, to make a similar change in their prices. And it is certainly advisable, for planters to see to the erecting of screws du ring the summer, in order to avoid a loss which has long been threatened, on round bags, and which seems now about to fall on them at last in real earnest. What advantages result to the planter, in packing his cotton in round bales? None that we know. What are the advantages of using the screw to put up square bales ? In the first place ; He avoids the necessity of subjecting the packer to the dust and lint, un avoidable in the operation of packing a round bale, and which in lhc course of n season is sufficient to affect his health ; ultimately, if not immediately. Diseases which result from this exposure of the lungs, are frequently charged to other causes, when it has been produced by this. In the secondplace; The screw saves time ns it will pack a dozen bags, while a man with a crow bar is packing one and a half; and the operation can be performed, during such weather as will not admit of other work, if the screw is properly sheltered. In the third place; square bags are most sought after, and com mand a more ready sale during depress : ons in the market. And in the fourth place ; Cotton in square bales will always command its market value, while in round, it is threatened with a depreciation of a ^ of cent per pound, which is nearly equal to the amount of the price of the bagging and rope necessary to pack a bag. And what is the price of erecting a screw to pack cotton, that planters will submit to all these inconveniences in preference to going to the expense of having one. If a planter fur nishes the timber, and assists in raising, he can have a screw built at an expense of about $30. It is true his labor in getting the timbers is worth something, so it is in splitting rails to repair fences, but who ever counts that except among tlie necessary duties of a plantation, and there arc always spare times, when either can be done without injuring any other interest. $0 this monstrous expense which all seem to dread so much, amounts to an actual outlay of about $30, perhaps a few dolluis more or a few less, not varying materially from that sum.— Three Days JLatcr from England, ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. Tlirrc is little to remark in thu news by the itnbria. We make the following summary ■ail extracts from the Journal of Commerce. The steamship Cambria, Capt. Judkins, ar rived at Boston no Sunday evening, a little past 9 o’clock. She left Liverpool at 25 minutes past 5 o’clock on the 20th ult., and was tele graphed at quarter past 7, June 1, evening, having made her passage in 12 days and two hours. The Cambria brought 59 passengers froii Liverpool, and 18 from Halifax. The discussion on the third rending of the K:|m«kir.ga grant to Muynooth (Unman Catli- I Now suppose a planter makes thirty bags of oiic College, Ireland, commenced on the 19th, | cotton of 400 weight each, and has to loso J and occupied most of the sitting. It was then adjourned till the following day. There was no doubt of its passage. The opposition to it appeared tn have diminished. Tho Cotton market remained as before. There was a long discussion on the 16th, in t'icHouseof Commons, in regard to manning the Navy. Admiral Cockburn, Capt. Berko- ky and others, represented the number of men 00 hoard the first class ships to bo too small. Admiral C. said they were 100 less than em ployed on board the same class of ships cither >oFrance or America. The Ttzan Mission.—The London Morn- tag Chronicle says, there appears to be some misapprehension as to the precise character in *nich Mr. Ashbel Smith has returned from exas to this country. The facts are, we be- •ere, simply these : Mr. Smith was, it may be recollected, up to a very few months ago, tn>° ( ^^” Q * rcs °l* Texas, both in London «nd Paris. After an absence of some years rom lexas he solicited his recall: His request * in g granted he left England. He was re- Jhced in the Texan mission to Europe by Gen. Ierrell, late attorney General of Texas. This appointment waa m ado by Proc’ulont Jono*. »ben the Congress of Texas was not in ses- S Qn > an ^ 0,1 ha assembling did not receive the approval of the Senate; and consequently be- C3inf! void. President Jones lias, therefore, ^-appointed Mr. Ashbel Smith; and tnat gen. vtnan, consequently, assumes the ordinary dt- Pmtnatic functions of tho mission, and has not raved in any special character, lhe Liverpool Mail of May 20th, remarks ®Pon the arrival at that port direct from Cin- ^mntti, of the first rcssel that ever cleared ,0; n the latter port for England ns follows. Arrival Direct from Cincinnati.—-We havo a Cincinnati papers brought by . ^vessel that ever cleared out of that for Europe. Her voyage is quite an event 10 history of the Western States, and will, c trujt, be only the commencement of a long hnued and valuable trade, between that 1 n of the American Union and the old conn- I he building of n vessel of 350 tons on 1700 miles from the sea, is itself a very 5®* r kable circumstance, both as a proof of j' ~ ^SJhficcncc of the American rivers nnd tpirit of the American people.

If he had built a screw the amount paid out for it would have been sa ved *, the screw would have paid for itself the first year, and if it lasted to pack eight crops, the saving in that time would have amounted to $240. If coveted in as it should bo it would last fully that long. 3uppv*e a man raises sixty bags of cotton and puts them up in square packages; the screw not only pays for itself the first year, but pays 100 per cent, on its cost 5 in eight years the saving would be S480. It may be thut the price xVb put down as ne cessary to build a screw, may vary in different neighborhoods, we write from what we know of in this vicinity. But suppose it should vary in some localities, it is easy to adapt -the calcu lation to the variation, and sec the result. From thr Macon Messenger. COTTON BAGS. We Iiuvo over anti again ottomptoJ to arouse the pride of the planter, and promote his pecuniary interest, by showing him, the advan tages he would obtain by sending bis Cotton to Market in square instead of round bales.— The suggestion of tho single fact, that nearly all the round bales that are shipped either for the Northern or Liverpool Markets, are ship ped from Snvannah, and most of it produced in Central Georgia, should shame our planters into the abandonment of the old fashioned ob solete, slovenly mode of packing in round bales. Tbo additional fact that the cotton in square- packages is worth Jet. per lb. more, should force our planters, who arc as keen at a trade, and »s bard to bead as any Yankee that ever migrated, into the adoption of tho improved plan of packing in square bags. Wo ore glad to perceive that the evil is about to be remedied effectually. Wc abhor all kinds of combina tions, but the Merchants of Savannah, should do as the Merchants of Mobile and New Or leans haVo long since done, establish fiixed rules for the government of their local trade, which in no instance are to be departed from. While some rules of the kind, would not only be to the interest of the shippers, but of the Planter. The Savannah Chamber of Com merce as will be seen Ity tbo following extract, has taken the subject into consideration. Wo shall take pleasure in facilitating their object, either by disseminating their circulars, or using our columns in convincing, if possible the planter of his folly in persisting in an ugly old c ustom, which the rest of the woild has since exploded. We understand from a private source, that it is the intention of buyers in Savannah and Macon, the ensuing season, to make a greater distinction, in price than heretofore, b'-tween square and round bales. The following ex tract is front the proceedings of the Savannah Chamber of Commerce. “ An address to the Chamber from the Cot ton Buyers of the city of Savannah, was pre sented, setting forth in strong terms the inju- nes imposed alike upon the commerce of tho port and the interests of the planter, by the custom of packing Cotton in Round Bales, and it was upon motion resolved, that the Chamber concur with the cotton buyers in]thc evil of round bales, and that next to the disadvantage accruing to the planter, by so putting up his cotton, might be reckoned the loss arising from the use of Bagging manufactured from cotton, which lias been proven by experience to be so generally deficient in strength, as to render the bales unmerchantable by the time they reached the sea-board. It was further determined that the President should cause to be prepared 1.000 copies of the address, to be disseminated among the planters of Georgia, accompanied by such remaks as it might seem proper to add.” From the Savannah Repu blican. Important to Planters.—Round Bales. We are indebted loa friend for the subjoined report of the Chamber of Commerce, at the late quarterly meeting of that .body. That portion of the report which relates to the ad* dress ol the cotton buyers on the subject of round bales, deserves the special attention of our planting friends. It is a fuct which ouglil to be known to them that at least eight tenths of the cotton now on hand in this port and re maining unsold, is of this class—that it is im possible to sell round, so long as there is a sud- ply of square bales on hand, nnd that when sold it brings from ono to three, eighths of a cent per pound less. This evil, too, seems to have b en increased rather than diminished, by the in troduction of the improved power prtss. The square bales, by means of this, ore easily com. pressed almost to the solidity of wood, and in addition to the convenience of handling in this form, there is so much room gained in stowing, that the shippers save materially in freights. These causes havo operated not only to the inju ry of the trade of our city, but also to the dis advantage of the planters themselves. In Charleston and in the ports of the Gulf, round bales are hardly known, in fact buyers will scarcely take them at any price, because their foreign and northern orders are almost exclu sively for square hales. When wo consider the comparatively small cost of the screws, and other fixtures necessary to put up a cotton crop in proper order, we cannot but express our as tonishment that tho planters persist in a course so injurious to themselves. We have heard it suggested, that the buyers should combine and refuse to purchase the round bales at all, or at least not to buy, unless they can get them at prices that would justify repacking. Such a combination would not be likely to succeed, though we think that such a difference in price will, and ought to be made, as will compel the planters in seif-defence to fit up screws and pre pare their cotton in square packages. The present is the proper season for making the nec essary preparations, and wc would suggest to the merchants of Savannah and Macon, the im portance of preparing without delay a circular to the planters on the subject, and taking meas ures to have it put into tho bunds of every man who trades at either city. A paper of the kind, properly prepared, and retting forth clear ly the advantages of this change, would have a good i-flect. It might not accomplish the ob ject at once, but it would certainly induce ma ny men to abandon the round bales, even tho present season, and if followed up by a similar appeal in subsequent years, would entirely remedy the evil. The plan of circulating the “Address of the Buyer*,” in the manner spo ken of in the Report, is well enough—it may answer every purpose so far as it goes; but the number proposed to be circulated is entire, ly inadequate to the result desired to be pro duced—besides a paper presenting the com bined and harmonized views of the merchants of both Savannah and Macon, would have in. creased influence. We will revert to this sub ject frequently. It is intimately connected- with the interests of both planters and mer chants, and should be kept constantly before the public. Our columns are open to its discus sion, and we respectfully solicit communica tions in regard to it. We cannot close those hurried remarks without expressing the fullest approbation of tho objects had in view by the Chamber, nnd our hope that the efforts of its members may be crowned with success. It is an institution which deserves to be kept alive. Its influence lias already been fell in the community, and wcliopc to sec it sustained with increased vig or. communicated. To the Editor of the Telegraph Sp Republic: ! I sec: by the picsent merits of Jury No. 1, at 1 the last term of Bibb Superior Court, that they [ compla'n that their presentments aie too often i overlooked and forgotten by those to whom I they are directed. 1 concur with them to some 1 extent as to the disregard which is manifested j in too many instances, to their recommenda^ t lions, nnd to remedy tho evil of which they complain, would advise a more careful inves- j tigation on their part, of the subjects which : they present as grievances before they require j their suggestions to be tho bas : s by which the . conduct of others is to be regulated. They lament the hardships of petit jurors : not receiving their full per diem pay allowed by lawi and request the Justices of the Inferior Court to pay the Jury certificates in preference to all other claims. In other words they re quire the Court to disregard the statute which makes provision for the payment of Jurors, which prescribes “that the county treasurer of said county shall pay out of the county funds in his I lands not otherwise appropriated, the Juror’s certificates.” Now it i3 well known to all who have investigated the financial con dition of the county, that the present court can not, by the most rigid economy during their present term, discharge the pre existing debts, towards^ which the future taxes of the county have been appropriated* much less create a sur plus or fund not otherwise appropriated for the payment of thesejury certificates. Again, the Jury recommend thi Court to use the taxes raised last year for the support of the poor (being the rise of two thousand dollars) and to muke such provisions for their mainten ance out of it, as their exigences may demand. Had the jury investigated and ascertained the actual condition of the county treasury, the suffering poor would not have been tantalized by the false hopes and sad disappointment which the recommendation of this presentment is calculated to produce. The present Court have not the first dollar of available means at their disposal to appropriate in this way. Not only was the taxes raised last year for the sup port of the poor, but those raised for the edu cation of the indigirit and poor children, were appropriated by the former Court to tlie keeper of the poor house — the lion's den. Thus it will be perceived that the jury in the first in stance requests the Court to do that which would he in violation of the law; and in the second, to do an impossibility, or to perform the miracle of extracting blood from a turnip ; or what is equally difficult, money from empty coffers. Other recommendations of the jury are con sidered not liable to the above objections, are salutary and should be enforced. CJNUS. COUNCIL CHAMBER, Jbm •lb) l§43. Present tlie Mayor.

May 2S, 1845. j Mr. Editor:—To correct misstatements and to relieve tlie anxiety of the many friends of Gen. McDuffie; 1 am induced to report the state of his health at thistimb. Since the General’s return from Washington he has been incessantly engaged in superin tending and directing hb plantation affairs.— The eXerciso and exciteniont connected with this, had a favorable influence on his health un til lotoly. nnd Im Iijul hnrmnn much more vigo rous than he was during the winter. Since tho weather became warm he continued to walk and fatiguo himself imprudently on his planta tion. He awoke on tho morning of the 20th inst. feeling some stiffness and numbness in his right arm auk leg, and concluded exercise would relieve it; He tvalked two miles tb one of his fields where his hands were at work, and became more feeble, and had to take his over seer’s arm to enable him to return to the house. Ho lay down and soon after was conscious iie had lost the partial use ofhis right arm and leg. His head and intellect ore not tiff cted in the slightest degree. The muscles of the lace are unharmed. The sensibility of the arm and leg is not impaired the least; nnd ho has perfect commnnd over nnd use of some of the muscles of those members. His general health is as good as it was previous to the attack. He remained at my house within a m le of his plantation from the time ho was attacked till the morning of the 2oth inst.
