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. JVew Cotton. —The first bale of new Col ton this season was brought in town from the plantation of Maj. R. Hayward, on Mon day last. It is a beautiful specimen, the sta ple long, fine and silky. It was sold at auc tion, by R. J. Hackley, on Thursday, and ’ purchased by the firm of Center & Keen, for j 13 7-S cents per pound.— Floridian. 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 !’ From the Tallahassee Watchman. 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 ?
