PUBLIC MEETING,
The citizens of Columbus are earnestly so
licited to convene at 10 o’clock on to-morrow,
at the Court House, to take into considera
tion and to devise and provide ways and
means to supply the city with water, fire hose
and fire engines, to protect their property,
which has been so shamefully neglected for
the last ten years. A CITIZEN.
For ll* Sentinel and Herald.
Messrs. Editors: There appeared in the
Columbus Enquirer of the 9ih of August, a
letter written by Col. Seaborn Jones in ad
vocacy of the Brunswick Ilail Hoad, and
marshalling a host of statistics, as the gentle
man himself was pleased to term iris formida
ble army .of figures, which were truly denom
inated by tiie Enquirer his startling calcula- j
tions.
Whatever may be the strength and clear
ness of Col. Jones’s intellect, however exten- j
sivc bis experience, and however shrewd his j
general observations, I am induced from facts
which have come under my own observation,!
to look upon his statements as entirely chi- j
ntericai and his estimates wild and visionary, !
and I offer the following argument, based
•upon facts and facts alone, in support of the
ground which I occupy, and as going to show
the fallacies of Col. Jones’s reasoning.
In the first place, Col. Jones estimates the
entire expense of transporting a bale of cot
ton from Columbus to New York, around the
capes of Florida, at ten dollars per bale, or
two and a half cents per pound. When the
river is low, and freights exorbitant, say two
and a half to three dollars per bale, and freights
from Apalachicola to New York exorbitantly
high, his estimate is not fir from correct, but
ten dollars per hale not on!v covers the entire
cost of transportation to New York, hut the
charges of the Commission Merchant who
sells the cotton in New York also, which
would be.the same whatever channel might
be employed to get the Cotton there. It is
well known that when the river is in good
boating condition, the freight of Cotton from
Columbus to Apalachicola is one dollar per
hale, and then the entire cost of transporta- j
tion from Columbus to New York, does not
exceed seven dollars per bale. In making his
estimate, Col. J. assumes that the freight
from Columbus to Chattahoochee will always
be one dollar per hale, and the Rail Road
fees from thence to Brunswick one dollar per
bale, and the freight from Brunswick to New
York one dollar per bale. Does not Col. J.
know that the freight of cotton from Colum
bus to Chattahoochee will always he the
same as to Apalachicola ? Does he not know
1 hat all the difficult navigation of the river is
between Columbus anil Chattahoochee, and
that at a low stage of the river, freight will
he two dollars and fifty cents to three dol
lars per bale instead of one dollar ? Does he
not know that the rates of freight from Bruns
wick to New York will fluctuate as they do in
all other seaport towns according to (lie sup
ply of and demand for vessels? Sometimes
the freight wili he four dollars per bale, and
seldom, if ever, less titan two dollars, say a
half cent per lb. Again, is Col. J. so igno
rant in regard to the operation of railroads
as to suppose cotton can he transported over
a Railroad two hundred and terj miles in
length for one dollar per bale. Men of sober
reason and practical sense would ridicule the
idea as preposterous. At the North, where
lab'r is much cheaper than it is here, the
Boston and Providence railroad, forty-one
miles in length, does not carry cotton for less
than one dollar twenfy-five eenis per bale, and
•nearly all the cotton which is exported from
Providence to Boston is carried on board of
vessels bv sea, a distance of about two hun
dred and fifty rmles, because it can be carried :
for one half the expense of transportation on
the railroa Afortif-onemU.es in length. Again,
on the Boston and Lowell railroad, twenty
six miles in length, cotton is not curried for
less than one dollar per bale. Now how is
it possible for a railroad, two hundred and ten
miles in length to carry cotton for one dollar
per hale, and pay a dividend of‘ twenty-five
per cent, per annum’ to the stockholders,
when a railroad twenty-six miles in length
cannot carry it for less, and pay a dividend of
even Jive per cent, per annum to the stockhold
ers, and tint too in a section of country where
labor is so much cheaper than it is here, and
where men have some little practical knowl
edge of the construction and operation of
railroads.
But it issnifi by Cos!. Jones, tliat the Bruns
wick railroad will pay a profit of twenty-five
3>cr cent, per annum ! Surely lie could not
have been serious and disinterested in making
this statement. In my humble opinion, the
railroad will loose twenty-five per cent, per
annum, and tlie stockholders will find mv pre
diction to be correct if the road is ever built.
The Liverpool and i.linchester railroad
is the most favorable in point of location in
ihe world, and that has never paid a dividend
of more than eight and a half per cent per
annum. In the carrying business, the Liver
pool and Manchester rad road does not pre
tend to compete with the canal. The canal
cloe* the carrying business, while the railroad
■is made the ihorflPchfire. 1 have always
understood Col. J. it: be very plausible man
‘m making paper calculations, and really be
Las fully sustained his high eiiHraDer in his
estimate of the operations of the Brunswick
railroad. But in these days of astounding
discovery, and wild, reckless speculation, I
have sometimes known paper calculations I
made which proved most disastrous in their!
practical results.
Such I am quite certain will he the fate of j
Col. J s ‘ startling’ calculations, when Iff j
undertakes to reduce them 10 practice. 1 :
now propose to make an estimate of the ex
pense of transporting cotton around the capes
of Florida, and by wav of Brunswick, bv
which it will be seen that the expense of
transportation by way of Brunswick is three
x’ollars per bale more than it is around the
capes of Florida. Experience lias already
proven the accuracy of my estimate of the
expense of transportation around the capes
ot Florida, and is only required to confirm
that by way of Brunswick.
Expenses on a bale of Cotton around the j
Capes of Florida :
Freight from Columbus to Apalach-
icola - - - $1 GO 1
Charges at Apalachicola - - 75 ;
Freight from Apalachicola to N. York 4 00 1
insurance on a bale valued at S4O 1 00
$6 75
Expenses from Columbus to New York
by way of Brunswick :
Freight from Columbus to Chatta
hoochee - - $1 00
Rail road fees from Chattahoochee
to Brunswick - - 5 00
Charges at Brunswick - - 75
Insurance to Chattahoochee -40 j
From Chattahoochee to Brunswick,
against fire, - - -40!
From Brunswick to New York 20
Freight from Brunswick to New York
at one and a half cents per Ih. -2 00 j
$9 75
In the foregoing estimate I have assumed
that the railroad fees of transportation from
Chattahoochee to Brunswick will he five dol
lars per bale, and I assert, without the fear
of contradiction, by men of any practical
knowledge of the operations of railroads, that
a railroad two hundred and ten miles in length
cannot carrv cotton lor less than five and illars
per bale, and save itself, or rather the stock
holders, from loss, and when the Brunswick
railroad is put into operation, experience will
confirm the truth of the assertion.
I CfSlr Jon?S save the collector of Apalachi
cola and St. Joseph informed him that there
| were six times as many barrels of Merchan
jdise imported annually, as there were bales
jof cotton exported. Tins I wholly deny.—
jin 1836 —7 larger importations of Merchan
jdise were made than in any former year, a-
I mounting to about 185,000 barrels, and he
exports of cotton amounted to a fraction over
j 60,000 bales. r l'iie past season the entire ex
! |>orts of Cotton of the Flint and Cliaitahoo
jehee rivers, is a fraction over 87,000 bales,
and the number of barrels of merchandise
j imported during the same period falls short a
j fraction of this quantity.
It will be borne in mind that Col. J. has
based his ‘startling’ calculations upon the
! imports and exports of the past season, ma
j king the imports six times as great as the ex
j ports, when in fact, they fall short. This di
j minution in the imports of the past season
I compared with the preceding year, is the re-
I suit of the embarrassed condition of the coun
try.
Col. J. argues as if the whole business of
! the river is to pass over the Brunswick rail
j mad. Heretofore a large portion of the
goods imported were destined for Apalachi-
I cola and St. Joseph, and sold there to tlie in
terior, arid a large portion of future importa
tions will doubtless take the same direction,
unless Col. J. makes up his mind to transfer
the whole business of the river to Brunswick,
and thereby destroy Apalachicola and St.
Joseph.
Again, if Apalachicola and St. Joseph
should not be entirely annihilated by the
Brunswick railroad, that portion of our sup
plies which would he furnished by New Or
leans, would doubtless pass through one, or
both of these places. If we should bring our
supplies from New Orleans, by wav ofßruns
wiek, we should not avoid the dangerous nav
igation of the capes of Florida, which Col.
J. seems particularly desirous to shun.
Col. Jones has made another statement m
his letter in regard to the expense of trans
portation of merchandise from New York to
Columbus, around the capes of Florida, so
glaringly erroneous that the most ignorant
md contracted mind cannot fail to discover
it. lie says th3t the'expense of a barrel of
merchandise from New York to Columbus is
equal to the expense of a bale of cotton from
Columbus to New York, and that Mr. Yonge,
a Commission Merchant of Columbus, has
confirmed his statement. With due respect
to these gentlemen, I beor leave to say that
this statement has no foundation in fact.
The expense of a barrel of merchandise
from New York to Columbus, is l"ss than one
third of the expense of a bale of cotton from
Columbus to New York, and instead of show
ing the result which Col. J’s statement exhib
its, would stand thus, taking the actual imports
of the past season instead of his statement :
Expense of transporting 80,000
barrels byway of Brunswick,
at $6 per barrel, as admitted
by Col. Jones, is $480,000 00
Cost of transportation of 80,000
barrels, by way of Apalachi
cola, at the actual expense,
$1 87 1 2 150,000 00
$330,000 00
Thus it will be seen that the cost of trans
portation bv way of Brunswick would be
$330,000 more than it actually is around the
capes of Florida! and that too on 80,000
barrels. But how widely different would be
the result if Col. J’s estimate of 252,000 bar
rels were taken. The cost of transportation
of course would be augmented just in pro
portion to the increase of importations.—
Take Cos!. J’s estimate for example :
252,000 barrels by wav of
Brunswick at $6 per bbl. is $1,512,000 00
252 000 barrels by way of
Apalachicola, at the actual
expense, $1 87 1-2 472,500 00
$1,039,500 00
Thus, instead of showing the immense sa
ving.of $1,176,000 which Col. J’s statement
exhibits, it will be seen that an actual loss wili
be sustained in transportation by way of
Brunswick of $1,039,500 00! ! !
In this estimate, I take the cost of trans
portation by way of Brunswick, as admitted
bv Col. Jones, say $6 per barrel, and the ac
tual expense around the capes of Florida, by
way of Apalachicola, say $1 87 1-2.
Let us now see what the difference of ex
pense will he in the transportation of cotton
around the capes of Florida and by way of
Brunswick, taking Col. J’s estimate of forty
two thousand hales, which is the amount Co
lumbus alone exported the past season. It
will stand thus :
12,000 bales of cotton, by wa v of
Brunswick, at $9 75 per bale $409,500
42,000 bales of cotton, around the
Capes of Florida, at $6 75 per
bale, ... 283,500
Over, - • $128,000
Thus a loss of $126,000 will be sustained
by way of Brunswick, on the exports of Co
lumbus alone, and making a loss of $456,000
on the business of the past season, without
including in the estimate the cotton grown in
the country between Columbus and Chatta
hoochee.
It is asserted by Col. Jones that it takes
three months for cotton to reach New York,
around the Capes of Florida.
This bears too much the semblance of a
ioke to he considered a truism. Colton usu
i ally reaches New York in forty (and often in
I thirty) by the channels now in use.
Atraip C:>l. Jones snvs cotton will reach
New” York, by wa v of Brunswick, in sixteen
ito eighteen day.?. Surely he cannot be seri
| otis. It might reach if* twenty to twenty-five
days, if it should meet no detention at Chat
tahoochee and Brunswick, for which he has
not allowed a single hour. Detention at
both these places is unavoidable, as experi
ence will prove.
If a vessel of 1,000 bales goes to bfuns
wick for a cargo; will she load in one dayri r
will she require fifteen days? In most cases
she will require the latter, and to load in that
time, the weather must be favorable and no
time lost.
Does Col. Jones suppose the Brunswick
Rail Road can carry cotton from Chattahoo
chee to Brunswick, 210 miles, as fast as ten J
steamboats (this number, at least, will be re- i
quired to do the business of the river.) can
carry it from Columbus to Chattahoochee,
300 miles? Does any reasonable man en
tertain such a supposition? If so, he is la
boring under a most egregious error. In re
gard to the number of passengers which Col.
J. seems to think will pass over this road an
nually, I have but one remark to make.—
Himself and other advocates of the project
will be greatly deceived in the travelling pa
tron age.
The merchants of New Orleans, on whose
patronage Col. Jones seems strongly to rely,
; generally have business up the Mississippi,
I and through the western country, and will
j most frequently take that route toNew York,
in preference to any other, because their bus
| in ess compels them to do so.
That Rail Roads greatly facilitate travel
■ ling I do not deny ; but the attempt to bring
them into successful competition with steam-
I boats, is as absurd and ridiculous as was the
attempt of the philosopher to extract sun
■ beams from cucumbers. vep.itas.

ton this season was brought in town from

day last. It is a beautiful specimen, the sta
ple long, fine and silky. It was sold at auc

WESTWARD HO!
The elections in the western states have
resulted in a great triumph for the democracy
of the country.
In Missouri Miller and Harrison have been
re-elected to Congress by over 6,000 majority;
nearly double their majority at the last election.
Tiie Van Buren ticket is 5,644 ahead.
In Indiana the democrats have added to
their numbers, and will not wear the Clay
collar.
Illinois is gloriously safe. Carlin, the Van
Buren candidate for Governor,beat Edwards,
his opponent, 1,991 votes. In the first Con
gressional district Reynolds (dem.) beat Ho
gan (fed.) 2,753. In the second district Casey
(dem.) was elected, Re being opposed by a
man of his own party. Ir. the third district
Douglass (dem.) heat Stuart (fed.) 122 votes.
\\ hat will our Clay, ichig , bank friends
now say of the chances for irredeemable rags
west of the Mississippi ? The voice for which
they have been listening so long, and antici
pating from its echo such sweet music, comes
to them with boding and mournful tones —it
chants delightfully for democracy ; but its
wailings and imprecations are bitter and deep
against udiigism, hoco pocoism ! the bankites,
Clayitcs , and all sorts of humbuggeries. —
Clay will be beaten :n his own ‘ dear native
west !’

MORE INDIAN MURDERS.
We learn that on Sunday evening, 19th
uh., a party of Indians attacked the house of
a Mr. Baker, on the east side of the Oscilla
river, and murdered three out of a family of
seven. Mr. Baker was quite aged, and on
attempting to eflect his escape from the
house, with two of his grand children in his
arms, and while crossing the yard, he was
shot down. Early the next morning a party
of volunteers from San Pedro went to the
place, and found Mr. Baker lying dead, also
one of the children, the other was lying asleep
on liis arm unhurt. Mr. Baker’s wife was
the third person killed. The others made
their escape to a stockade about a mile and
a half distant. Two of them, daughters of
Mr. Baker, were badly wounded. Mr. Ba
ker’s bouse was burnt to the ground.
Intelligence has also been received from
the east, that three baggage wagons on their
way from Trader’s Hill to Kettle Creek, were
surprised on the Blackshear road, about 12
miles from the Augustine road, by a party of
about 50 Indians. All of the wagpns were
captured, and one man killed. The other
two escaped.
Another party also made their appearance
some days since near the Apalachicola river,
where a family named Rowan, resided. They
met a negro belong].to Mr. Rowan, and
enquired of him for his i.:as?cr; on being an
swered that he was at home, h l|e y immedi
ately pursued their way towards ti;C house;
the negro, taking another and nearer djac
tion, and on arriving at the house told hio
master the Indians were coming, and had en- j
quired for him. Mr. Rowan immediately put ‘
his family on board a canoe, and pushed I
across the river. He had just crossed, when j
the Indians made their appearance at the’
the house, and hailed him. He held some
conversation with them—they being disap
pointed at the negro’s giving information of
their approach, fired the house.
We also learn that two houses on the Ap
alachicola river have been burnt by Indians.
Col. C. H. Dupont, in command of four
fine companies, from Leon and Gadsden
counties, left or. Friday of Inst week, since
which time no intelligence has been received
from him. From his well known character,
as an able and efficient officer, we hope,
and are inclined to believe, that some good
eflect will arise from bis expedition.
Gen. Taylor, with a force of 350 men, is
making active operations for the defence of
residents on the frontier.
The whig presses in Georgia say that the
question of a National Bank or an indepen
dent treasury, is one of minor consideration.
In all the states where elections have been, it
was the test question. In Alabama, North
Carolina, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ken
tucky, it was the test question. In Maine and
Pennsylvania it is to be the test question. In
South Carolina it is made the test question ;
and so it is to be in New York and Vermont.
And we will inform the whig presses lhat a
National Bank or an independent treasury, is
the test question in Georgia, notwithstanding
what is insidiously said of it, that it is of minor
consideration. —Augusta Constitutionalist.
The Whig presses in the state, which are
generally more or less zealous in the support
of a national bank, and in opposing the es
tablishment of an independent treasury, show
alarm for the stand they have taken. They
begin to perceive that they were mistaken in
the opinion entertained by the members of
their party. They begin to be aware of a
large number of their political friends being
decidedly opposed to a national bank and in
favor of the sub-treasury system. Before all
this was ascertained, their cry was, ‘ let a
national bank or the sub-treasury be the test
question.’ But now the cry is changed ; the
question of a national bank or the sub-treas
ury, is of minor consideration ; that question
should not divide us. Indeed ! And why
then proscribe Major Cooper? Why then
call on the people of Georgia not to vote for
the Union candidates, because they are op
posed to a national bank and in favor of the
sub-treasury ? And yet they say that the |
question is of minor importance! Can the
people of Georgia be deceived by such vain
attempts to influence their right of suffrage ?
