Yet by thesimple,effi acioiis Vegetable Medi icines, not poisons,they were snatched from the jaws of the gtmi monster, death, and restored to health, the greatest of all earthly blessings; for what is riches nnd elegant dwellings, without health to enjoy them. Ilealtliis the poor man's wealth; and the rich man’s bliss. To a mao laboring under disease, the world is little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste enlivened by no variety, a joyless scene cheered by it > social sweets; for the soul in a diseased body, like ■ martyr in his dungeon, may retain its value, but it has lo it its usefulness.

The prospectus to issue such a work, devoted to the scenery of Georg.a, although novel, will imdoubt edty lind universal iavor, and bo rt girded as it is by tile cdilor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible.— Tncre is much scenery in our Slate, tiiat is not sur passed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other State la the Union The upper counties abound m scenes, which need only to be Known to command the adm.ration ot all who love the beauties of nature. .Much of the scenery of li e north is inferior to our ow n. but is yet visited by ill usauds simply because it has been written . sung and •‘lionized” by uutlio.s and travellers, uu •. ns beauty has become universally known and appreciated. It is desirable that attention should be directed lo out ow n re-ources of the pic turesque in natural scenery,and when t his is done, our own and northern tourists will speedily render our beautiful views us immortal as our language. The souih is charged with general indilFcrence to the progress of Literature and the Fine Arts; a. and probably the s'rongest foundation for the charge is found in her inaction in enterp; 1.-es calculated to foster these objects, the publication of the proposed work w ill, it is believed, be an effective blow al tins founda tion, and a step towards the establishment of our lit erary reput .'ion, to which end much honorable elfort is now directed. A third consideration, and the last which will now be urged, is tbe intrinsic value of such a publication as •‘GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody the representations of the beautiful and sublime in our S'ate scenery, and attord to all, at a trilling ex pense, exact pictures ot our mountains, vallies, catar acts, public blindings, &c., which they may or may not other” ise behold, but which, in either case, would afford peculiar pleasure. The proposed work will be executed in a style su perior to any similar picGral work in the country. T ie plates will be executed on steel, by eminent tn gravers, from original drawings, made expressly for the purpose, by Mr. T. Addison Richards, of Augus ta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter press descriptions, prepared for the work, and in this departmnnt the editor will secure, as far as possible, the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In short, no pains will be spared to make the work a per fect gem of its kind, to tbe end tiiat it may meet a welcome reception not onlv at home but also abroad. Conditions —‘-GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED” will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, at §5 per annum in advance, or at 50 cents for each part. pay aide on’delivery. Each part will contain two highly Jinithed engravings of Georgia Scenery, accompanied with letter-press descriptions and historical facts, printed on large and beautiful type oa the finest paper, the whole enveloped in a neatly printed cover. Any individual who will obtain and forward six ad vanced subset iptions shall be entitled to a copy of the work.

Awl 18,1849. W From the N. O. Bulletin. CITY OF MATAGORDA, TEXAS. On she I4lh October, the Corner Sione of the first Episcopal'church in the Republic, was laid in this city, the Rev. C. S. Ives offi ciating on the occasion. At ten o’clock, the inhabitants met at the bouse of Mr. Ives. The procession to the •rround was formed in the iollowiiig order:— The Clergyman; the Church Wardens, the Mayor, (J. W. Sewell, Esq.): the Cuy Mar shall, and Aldermen ot the Corporation; the the Prolessional Gentlemen of the Ciiv; fol lowed by a large concourse of the respecta ble citizens, inarching two by two. The weather was peculiatly fine, and a number of ladies graced she ceremony with ttieir presence. At the proper place in the service, Mr. Ives addressed the assembly. He pointed out the benefits accruing from the attendance of public worship in promoting human hap pinesss and cherishing the good feelings, par licularly that of charity, and by establishing a deep regard for moralily and good order. — That as a social community, our young and rising town would be beneficially influenced by it, now that its character and tone of so ciety are being formed and its prosperity in creased—also, the still higher benefiis result ittg from a true sense of religion, in making man fit for the felicities of life everlasting. Our town, which promises to be one of much importance, is now in its infancy; it has yet to establish its character, and bv its example will hove a great influence over a large por lion of this Republic. The whole history of the world shows that no community can ever enjoy prosperity, unless ihere he a sense of religion among its members. Here there is a temple open to all who choose to enter, where will be administered she ordinances of the Gospel of Christ, which, if properly received, will entitle man to a life of eternal happi ness. When the ceremony of laying the Corner Slone was concluded, John Delap, Esq. ad dressed the meeting. He said, “Ladies and Gentlemen —Fellow-Citizens: I should much regret that the present inter esting opportunity should pass without a few observations from someone of our old citi zens. It is in the memory of several now present, that years ago the inhabitants of Matagorda, whose opinions were of any val ue, anxiously wished lor a minister of the gospel to reside among them, in whom the sentiments and affections of the people could concentrate. That wished for consummation has been fully realized. We have among us our highly esteemed friend, the Rev. C. S. Ives, iu an eminent degree possessing all the qualities so anxiously desired. In the gener al discharge of his clerical duties, he gives universal satisfaction; kind and affectionate in his address—evincing so lively an interest in tiie welfare of each family in our city and vicinity, that every man considers him not only his spiritual adviser but his personal friend.” Mr. Delap then took a view of Religion, as it operates on mankind, in llieir political, civil and domestic relations —adv< rted to the impression on tiie minds oi men, in all ages, civilized and savage, with iespeci to the ex istence of a Supreme Being. “What,” said he, “held together the ancient Republics of Greece and Rome? Religion. ‘Our fist du ties,’ said one of their philosophers, ‘vve owe to the gods, our second to our country, our third to our lamilies.’ No nation ever be came great or respected, whose political in stitutions were not based on Religion. Look hack to the great, the good, die religious men, who, in a neighboring Kepubl c, wrested their freedom and independence lrom one of the most powerlul nations in modern times!— What was George Washington? A tiuly religious man. What gave lorce to the im mense military talents he possessed? The conciousness ol the justice of ins country’s cau*e, and conciousness based on genuine religion. Let our rule. . and our citizens fol low the religious example btqueaihed to us by the founders ol the iieptibic of the Uni ted States of America, and like that nation, Texas will become great at and respected.” “In our civil capacity,” said Mr. Delap, “vve have already experienced the important advantages ol the introduction of a regular form of religious observances; self-respeci has been followed by respect lor tire persons and opinions of our neighbors. The Sabbath day is decently observed—no more drunken broils on our streets —we can meet on change, in our social or commercial capacity, without the annoying interference of intoxicated ruf flan ism. lam proud to hear the approving observations of strangers on our present gen tlemanly, orderly and moral social condition.’ In discussing the high advantages ot reli gion as it a fleets our domestic cornlorts, Mr. Delap, in a most thrilling manner, introduced the inte.esting picture of fireside bappmi ss in Burns’ “ Cottager's Saturday Night!” — “What,” said he, “sheds such a sa< led halo around this charming picture? ’ Tis Religion! ! dial genuine ligbiener of the cares of iile.”— i He ended by praying, that the “Moon of mo;- | ally, enlightened hy beams emanating from the sun of genuine religion, might shed her rays on our path through life—political,social j and domestic.” From the Charleston Mercury, Jan, 5. MR. CLAY’S POLICY. Tbe Bank system, the Land Distribution ; or Slate Debt Assumption System, and the | Protective System, are in active preparation, j and are beginning lo be urged even belore the Inauguration of the President of the Federalists. The “Banner Stale” is active in pushing them; hut they have found a stur dy opponent in the Hon. Robert Wicklitle, Senator from Mr. Clay’s District. This gen man, though a Harrison man, will not swa! | low Mr. Clay’s measures. He foresees their , disastrous results to Kentucky herself He j deuies that the Bank question *‘w settled ” I He says if that question is forced upon tnis I Congress, it must lorce Harrison to sell ct a Bank Cabinet. He comends that a National Bank and Slate Banks cannot coexist. He believes the former constitutional, and if a proper charter could be secured for it, is wil ling to see the State Banks 6unk; hut be sees danger ahead. He believes that if the Ken tucky Banks were all paying specie, the cer tain prospect of a National Bank would stop them in sixty days. He objects to political Banks—ft ars the Bank proposed would be so. Ff tbe Government takes stock in it, State Governments, State Rights and Libeity are gone. The credit of Kentucky must suffer by a great Bank being chartered. He advised the Legislature to mind their own business — maintain the public faith of Kentucky, pay her debts, and set at once about the taxation which is inevitable. Such a Bank would bear within it the seeds of its own dissolulion, and would cause run ous fluctuations. The old Bank was a politi cal connection between Government and iri d viduals. Tiie Bank was to take care of the interest of the rulers. It would drain Ken tucky of specie to pay foreign dividends. — Th school lund would be sunk. Why pledg** themselves in advance and take a leap in the dark? He was the friend of Harrison and Tyler —not their hr.rth's ecmnt. By voting for Ihem he was not pledged for a Bank. If ei ther of them had voted for such a Resolution as that under diseusskin, they could not have touched bottom in Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina or Georgia. John Tvler con and ml possibly give his aid to such a measure. Harrison he declared was opposed to a Na tiotial Bank in many essentials. If Harrison vent tor such a Resolution, Harrison would be perjured. Kentucky was embarrassed from borrowing, when she ought to havebeen taxing. Ii was alwaysunore popul tr to burroxr. Let Kentuc ky save her credit, cherish those of her own Banks which have done well, and noi lay her sell at the tool of an institution, lliat will only fleece her out of fat dividends. Mr. W. combatted the prejudice against South Carolina, and vindicated her from the aspersions of the member from Louisviile. He confessed he could not answer the ques lion “\Y here shall we get a sound currency?” It could be prot ed by her annals, that Ken tucky had assumed ail sons of attitudes, and gone now (or nullification—now for consolida tion—in short, for all and any doctrines, Had she not voted for Tyler, Ami-Bank in policy and principle? for Harrison, nut so explicit, but of the same opinion. He hao tea red, that, while there “the old felicit) would have committed himself.” Wait until Harrison comes in, if you must instruct. He had declared liom the slump that Harrison and Tyler were Anti-Bank. Note you tell t hen) ‘‘the question is settled. He is a high Bank man, as rank as Webster him self. In the Course of a subsequent speech, Mr. Wickltfle made a telling hit at Mr. Clay, and his speeches are as good as Democratic. It is almost supeifluous to say, lhat Mr. W. was voted down. The Clay men had it all their own way—went with a rush for the principles f~ which Harrison was elected, and adopted the Resolution in favor of a Na tional Bank by a “Banner State” majority. Resolutions in favor of Mr. Clay’s Disiri bulion (alias assumption of State Debts) were also adopted. CONGRESS. Few exciting questions have arisen during the present session, and indeed public atten tivJn has been mainly turned to such passing glimpses o( the policy of the coming admin istration, as might be afforded by the boasts, promises, threats, and other intimations of the leading Whigs. There is, however, a fate higher even than Whiggery. Mr. Clay has threatened us with a National Bank, to pro mote and regulate the growth of “grass in ihe streets of Norfolk and Charleston.” Mr. Webster has expatiated on the blessings of unlimited credit; but these things grow not by talking; and as to the Florida war that Gen. Harrison was positively to finish, it seems perversely determined to end itself without him. There will be little left for the Whigs to do but to raise the taxes and run us in debt, both of which they promise. More than the usual quantity of private I claims have been disposed of, so tar, and ini the Senate the project of a sort of Star Chamber Court, under the name of Commis sioners of claims, has again been brought forward. It has been, from the first, opposed hy Mr. Calhoun and other Senators, as involv ing a great and pernicious change in the leg islation of Congress on private claims, and is lor the present deferred. A majority of the Senate have been heretofore in favor ol this measure, and may he so now. In the House of Representatives, on Thurs day, a motion to go into Committee of the Whole on the President’s Message, on the Monday followino, failed, and of course no part of that document is likely immediately to go to the appropriate committees. A diplomatic correspondence relative to the burning the steamboat Caroline during the Canada troubles was sent to the House on Thursday and after reading, ordered to be primed. It is of considerable interest at.d may prove another seed of’ hostility. Application had been pressed some months since by our Government fur redress and compensation by Great Britain in the maiter of this outrage on the Caroline, but no satis faciory answer returned, and there the ques tiun rested, when in Nov. last the athorities of New York arrested and put upon his trial one Alexander M Leod, an charge of murder and arson, as having been concerned in the burn ing of tbeCaro'ine, the property of citizens of New York, and being at the time within her jurisdiction. The pith of the note of the British Minis ter Mr. Fox, complainingof this imprisonment of M‘Leod, may be summed up in one of its paragraphs. “I feel it rny duty to call upon the Govern ment of the United States to take prompt and effectual steps for the liberation of Mr M‘- Leod. It is well known that the destruction of the steamboat ‘ Caioline” was a public act of persons in her Majesty’s service, obeying the ortler of their superior authorities. Thai act, therefore, according to (he usages of na tions, can only he the subject of discussion between the two National Governments. It ! cannot just y be made the ground of legal proceedings in the l tilled Stales against the I individuals concerned, who were bound to ! obey the authorities appointed by their own ! Government.” In his leply, Mr. Forsyth, on the part of I tie President, declines to inlet sere in favor of the accused, and vindicates the determination >u a very sufficient manner, as will be seen bv the billowing extract. ‘•The jurisdiction of the several States which constitute the Union is. within iis ap probate sphere, perfect ; y independent of the Federal Government. The oflnee with which Mr. M*Le-.d is charged was committal I within die teriitorv, and igainst iiie laws and 1 citizens of the State ol New York, ana is jone that comes clearly within the competency iof tier tribunals. It does not, theieiore, pre jSent an occasion where, under the constitution ad lawsuit’ the Union, the interposition cak ed for would he proper, or lor which a war rant can he found in tlie powers with winch ; the Fede al Executive is invested. Nor ; would die circumstances to which you have | referred, or the reasons you have urged, jus tify the exertion of such a power, if it exist ed. The transaction out of which the ques | lion arises, presents the case of a most un justifiable invasion, in lime of peace, of a j portion of the territory of the United States, ■ by a hand of armed men from the adjacent territory of Canada, the forcible capture by them within our own waters, and the suHse quentdest net ion of a -teaniboat, the proper ty of a citizen of the United Stales, and the murder of one or more American citizens. 11 arrested at the lime, ihe offenders might un questionably have been brought Injustice by the judicial authorities of the Siate within j whose acknowledged territory these crimes j were committed; and their subsequent voiun- j ta-y entrance within that territory : laces j them in the same situation. The President is not aware of any principle of international law, or indeed of reason or justice, which en titles such offenders to impunity before the le gal tribunals, when com ng voluntarily within their independent and undoubted jurisdiction, because they acted in obedience to their su perior authorities, or because their ac!6 have ! become the subject of diplomatic discussion’ ’ between the two governments. These me thuds ot redress, the legal prosecution of the offenders and the application of their Govern ment lorsaiislaclion, are independent of each other, and may separately and simu taneously be pursued. The avowal or jurisdiction of the outrage by the British authwiities, might he a ground ot complaint with ihe Government of •he United Slates, distinct from the violation of the territory and laws of tiie State of New Y. The application of the Government of the Union to that of Britain, for the redress of an authorized outrage of the peace, d.gnitv, and rights ol the United Slaies, cannot deprive the State of New York of her undoubted right of vindicating, through tae exe cist o her judicial power, the property at.d Ives of her citizens. You have very properly te garded the alleged absence of Mr. M Leod front Ihe scene of he offence at the time when it w is committed, as not material to me dec siou of the present questi -n. That ;s a mat >er to be decided bv legal ev.denct; and tee sincere desire ol the President is. that it may be saPsfactoii.y esiablishe . If the destine tion of the Caroline w.is a public act of per sons in her Majesty’s service, obeying tiie or der of the superior authorities, this fact has not been before communicated to the Gov ernment of the United Stales by a person authorized <o make the admission; and it will be for the court which has taken cognizance of the offence with which Mr. M Leod is charged, to decide upon its validity when le gally established before it. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier, Washington, Dec. 30. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Crittenden, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported the bill to establish a geueral bankrupt system. The bill is similar to that which passed the Senate at the late session. It provides for voluntary and compulsory bankruptcy; but | not extended to banks. Mr. Crittenden ask ed the early action of Senate on the subject, and fixed the 7tli of January as the time for taking it up, when all, he hoped, would be prepared to consider it. Ido not believe that the subject will attract any attention, at this session. Very little will be done a this ses sion. It will be difficult to bring the minds of members of the House to bear on questions unconnected with party excitements. Mr. Calhoun’s bill, to cede the public lands to the States in which they lie, was reported by Mr. Norvell, from the Committee on the Pub ic Lands. This is a most important sub ject, but I doubt whether Congress is dispos ed to take it up, just mw. The several prop ositions of Mr. Benton, Mr. Clay, and Mr. Calhoun have long been before the country, and, at no distant day, they must be decided on. Mr. Benton still goes it on his salt bill, In dian blankets, &,c., on which subjects he is very great. The bill, to establish a Board of Commis j sioners on claims; has been laid on the table | lor the present, to allow a more thorough in- I vestigation of the matter. 1 tear that it will never become a law. The House was engaged the whole day on the Navy Pension bill. There was a perfect confusion of tongues and opinions on this sub ject. Members have paid little attention to it, and know nothing about it. It, is not a party question, and, therefore, no one will care much how it goes. The law ol 1800, jjrovided that a portion ol the prize money, received from the Navy, should constitute a fund for pensioning the Widows or children of those killed or disabled in the naval service. But Congress, by the law of 1837, seized upon this fund,, and ap propriated it to oilier objects—i. e. for the re bel of a class of persons not contemplaied in the law of 1800. But the act of 1800 fortu nately provided that the government should be responsible for any deficiency in this fund. So, there is no fear of the result, in regard to the pensioners. The government has squan dered and lost the fund, but it is answerable for it.. There is great and continued excitement in regard to the Bank of the United States in Philadelphia. Some say that it cannot, in fairness and honesty, resume specie payments and that, therefore, it had better not resume at all. One thing is certain, that it will soon be proved whether it can resume or not. The 15th January is at hand, and then, 1 suppose, it will resume or not resume. If it resumes, there will be a strong run upon it, which, I hope, it will be able to stand. It can stand only on one ground—to wit solvency. Wanting that advantage, it cannot be sustained by the mere clamor of its friends. Washington, Doc. 31. There was an interesting discussion in the House, to-day, of the subject of our border difficulties with the Canadas. A message was received from the President, in answer to a resolution of the House, calling foi infor mation as to the state of the negotiation with the British Government, in regard to the at tack on the Caroline , &c. On the motion to print, some debate arose. It appears that the attention of the British Government had been repeatedly called to this subject, by Mr. Ste venson, but than no reply had been received by him. In the mean time, the authorities of New York undertook to avenge thernseives. They arrested Mr. M‘Ueod, the Canadian dep uty sheriff imprisoned him at Lock port, and indicted him for murder and arson, on which indictment he is to be tried for his life. Mr. Fox, the British minister here, demanded ihat MfLeod be re eased—stating that the attack on the steam boat Caroline was made bv or der of the British authorities; that it was, therefore, a public and national act, for /. inch the British Government was resjxi: sibie, and for which this government had sough; re, tress, as a national affair. He therefore contended that no individual could be amenable to the laws of New York for the pjretended oi fence. Mr. Forsyth’s reply is elaborate and able— the best thing I have ever seen from his fieri. He declines any interference in the matter, for the reason that Mr. M‘Lood had been guil ty of an offence against the laws and the cit izens of New York, and within her territory, and that *he offence is clearly within the com pe ency of her tribunals. Mr. Pickens praised the paper as an admi rable defence of the State Rights doctrines. Mr. Alford, of Georgia, commenced it on the same ground, but declared that we had too tamely submitted to the insolence of Great Britain, ar.d that it was time to put an end to this controversy. Mr. Holmes of South Car olina, remarked that there appe/rei to be a settled plan, on the part of the friends of the new administration, to involve the count ry in a war with Great Britain. Mr. Cushing ma : e a pretty strong war j speech, and supported the Views of the Sec i retary of State. He denounced Mr. Fox's j demands, as unre3s -nable and insulting. As |to the charge that s he vvhig3 were des.rous of a war with England, ,l was equally ground less with that ether charge against the whigs, with which the Van Boren presses had teem ed, that the whig® were influenced by British gold. Mr. Duncan took the floor for the purpose of proving that the whig par‘y acted under] the influence cf the British moneyed aristcc- racy* But the speaker called him to order. Mr. C ashing told Mr. Duncan tiiat he hoped to have the opportunity to meet him on that point in committee ot the whole. The mat ter l.e re ended—sooo copida of the message being ordered. ‘•'he opinion is that ATLeod will be acquitted, for want of testimony; but if the New York ers shomd hang him,, it would give rise to a war at once. A message was also received on the sub ject ol the interruption of our trade in China. It appears that notice lias been given us by Lord Palmerston that the river and port of Canton are under blockade, and that all the measures authorized by the laws of nations will be adopted and executed, v ith respect to ail vessels which may attempt to violate that blockade. Mr Adams reported his bill to insure the more laithiui execution of the laws for tlie collection ot duties. He sent a letter to the Chair from the reporter of the New York Herald, stating the report of Mr. Robert Jaf tray's speech is perfectly correct. Much amusement was excited by this. So, Con gress stands accused, by the New York mer chants, ot being subject chiefly to the influ ence ot “money and champagne.” We have had a rumor here that General Jackson was to be sent to the Senate of the United States from Tennessee, but of course no one credits it. From the Natchez (Mis.) Free Trader, Dec. Zy Paganism —The Hollowing picture of idol ati v is given by Mr. Sutton, a missionary at Serampore, who witnesses daily the norrid de formity ot Paganism, at the very doors of the Pagodas of Juggernaut— where millions of the wrpiched beings make annual pilgrimages to celebrate the rights ot this revolting wor ship, many thousands of whom die ou their journeys. How beautifully does the revealed religion of Cinist contrast*with Oriental Pa ganism in all its splendor. No pilgrimages to Mecca, Medina, Juggernaut, Btnaise, or Sagur, is required of the votaries of the’reli gion of Christ—r.o sacrifices or penance, but those which tend to make the man a better member of society, in all his intercourse with his iellow mao. Christianity weeps a t me relation ol such scenes as the billowing, and sighs lor the time when Hindoosian ams Thib et, with their millions ol degraded beino , shall embrace the Gospel of the Son of Peace. ‘ I saw many pilgrims, and many of them the most misei a hie objects tha I can be ima gined. One or two particularly attracted my attention; one was a blind old man, wasted away to such a degree that with Ins sunken, sighiless eyes, he formed a very striking re semblance io the picture of death; another was an old woman with tottering steps and emaciated body, bending her course to a home which it is next to uri|)<>ssibJe she can ever reach. Oiheis were young men, who had performed a pilgrimage of perhaps 1000 or 1500 miles, and now naked and starving, and exhausted with fatigue, they are slowly re tracing their weary way. Most of them are worn out with walking, an.j their feet so blis tered and torn that they are obliged to bind them up with the only piece of cloth they have, to enable them to prosecute their jour ney at all, And what m the fruit of all this toil? W by, they have a picture of Jugger naut, such as you have seen in England, sus pended round their necks, and two or three little sticks colored with red ochre, to lake home, if they ever reach it, as a memorial of tiieir pilgrimage. “We have now travelled about fifty miles along the great road to Juggernaut, and every where it is alike lull oi pilgnms passing to and from that accursed thing.
