llEiAScnoLr-—On tlielst ofDeceniber last, the ?>ilot Boat Berrien of ttiis port, owned ny VVm«Hr White, having on bovrd Wright White, John Johns, Wm. Foster, Richard Gillam, John Pollen. Wakeman \Vh:tc Edward L'lanscy and Frank, a Hack mau the property of Mr VV lute, eight in all sailed on a cruize in pursuit of vessels. Bho was spoken on the sth, and on the following day the Serth western gale, whose effects were so on our const, look place, since which no ndings have bcen,henrd of the boat or her unfortu nate crew and they have #lO doubt perished victi'ns to a profession’ than which, there is none whose pursuit is attended wi'h morn personal hardship and dangers, nor one followed by men who fear peril less. The principal individuals above were men of character, respected in our community,! and of undoubted skill in their vocation, acquired by many years experience, having propcity among us, and families, who are left to mourn this sudden disastrous bereavement Hope was revived about two weeks since, by the report ot a Chariest on Pilot who stated positively, that ho had seen the Berrien the day after the gale; and that she might have fallen in with and taken In tow a wreck, but six wee ks liavo now elapsed, and we are reluctantly coinpeled to consider their h»s as matter of doubt no longer.— Pais. Georgian The rapid motions of ihe steam car riage?, on ihe Liverpool and Manchester rail-way, is described with great anima tion by a writer in Blackwood’s Maga zine who says :—“At first it was com paratively slow; bill soon we fell that wc were indeed geing, and then it was that every person to whom the conveyance was new, must have been sensible that the adoption ot locomotivo power was es tablishing « frse era in the state of so ciety, the final result of whieh it is im possible to contemplate. On lookiog o ver the side, the enrili, with its iron stripes on which we shot along, seemed like a vast ribband nut oiling itself rapid fy as wo went. At one maximum of speed the pebbles scarcely caught the eye, before the sight was fairly fixed upon them they were far away and lost in the rear. The shouts of joy which greeted those in'front fell in their full gladsome ness on us, who rapidly filled up the in tervening space; chile those which hailed $s as we passed; were des ined to be the compliment to others, who, in anothet in stant occupied onr place. At times it was difficult to recognise or distinguish the countenances of long continues lines of snectators, as they seemed to glide away, Tike painted figuies swiftly draw.! through ♦lie tubes of a magic lantern. One engine {for what reason I could not rsacly ascer tain, unless left free to exhibit its uofeiered powern)was placed on the cortesponding piirrliel line of rail-ivay, so that without in terruption it could move to and fro at pleasure. When we were at full speed its coming was announced; far behind I saw it as a speck in the distance, but, rapidly in creatiug in size it became, 1f I may use the expression, in a few socuuds largely visible, and shot by us, as though we were jogging en quietly in a farmei’s market cart. In a t ico, having reached the head of the col nmn, it retrograded, jtiid then exhibited what may be i print'd a f.igloful display of Toloctly compounded not as before* when overtaking us, of our velocity to be de ducted, but to be added There was a 1 kjud wb z and a rattling of wheels; I could 1 scarcely discern its form, ns it bore down as if to crush all beforh it -a glance was all—it emo and was gone—with a coir paralive speed (taking ours at twenty, and tts own about doubh) of nearly <SO miles an hour” It is generally believed that in some form or other, the conduct of the Govern or and Legislation of Georgia, in holding defiance to the citatation id'the Chief Jus tice, will be made a th> m of discussion; if it should, it would be a debate ol uo com mon warmth. I believe fan what I can {a'her in conversation with members, that a Bill nt ty be lepotcd by s<i Committee of the Judiciaty in tho House, repeating so much of the Judiciary Art as gives the Su- J pl ume Cnu< t J in isdictiou in cases similar to j that which has caused the present collision; &\ i mid such a Bill be reported it is more than probable that a long and hot debate will, arise open it. Nothing further, has transpired on the | objectsofthe difference between Gee. Jack- j ■on and Mr. Calhoun, but the subject is one j of universal and engrossing conversation; and the general impression seems to be. that t an early separation must take pleco. It is reported that Di ff Green has sold out his newspaper establishment to Blair, the Ed. Globe-, and that ho has been nominated to the senate for the situation ol U. S. Marshal of this district. Ido not know that there is sufficient authority tor either of the ru* 0 >rs.— Cmrresponent of the Charleston Cr. The Discovery Ships. —lt seems to be supposed that these vossels have explored sufficiently between 57 and 59 degrees of South Latitude and 88 and 103 degrees W. Longitude, to ascertain that there is n 3 land or danger there; and that vessels going round Cape Horn, will have no occasion bet alter to lie l>y during the night.—The ships were un the coast of Chila in August las', and Messrs. Roynolds and Watson bad gone into the interior, of the river Aran- Ca* to examine tho Apancanion couotry, and become acquainted, if possible, with the Cuziqoe of a powerful nation, of whom we have but little knowledge. The nation is said to pe noble, generous, and •arltke, and to posses the richest fur country on the globe. Massachusetts Journal.

TO THE PEOPLE OP CRAW FORD COUNTY. We are honored with the view of a glit tering baud of Stage Coaches , running over our neglected and disgraceful Hoads and Streets. If the blood of our fath ers, which flowed so our freedom, is for gotten by you; then indeed you will sleep over the ruins of your roads, your streets, and your Town. But if upon the other hand, you are alive to a sense of your owti,aod your country's honor, if you vcner» ate the sacred names of those Sages and Heroes, whose blood flowed in tonenufor our Liberty; and more especially in tho name of that God, who made yon for a better purpose, and by every thing that is j dear to a free man, to awake from your slumbers, and suppott me in making tho old Federal Road, a Turnpike through out Crawford county, for the solo benefit of this honorable baud of Stages. I flatter myself, that there is not a man living who has tasted the sweets of freedom, and who are rot dead to a settso of their own, and their countrys honor, that would withhold his assistance in ma king a Road fc't the-safe and speedy con veyance of the life guard of the Nation. For it is reduced to a certainty, that on the mad, depends greatly, our liberty, or slavery. Let me impress it on your miuds, that this life guard of the Nation, is some of the glittering fruits of the best blood, i that ever was spill since God made the world; aod yet, the speedy and safe con veyance of this lifo guard, is so little regar ded by the People of our Southern country, as to let the Stage Roads lie in ruins. It the life guard of tne Nation, is not worth a Turnpike Road, liberty is not (worth possessing. I flatter myself, that you will not let my call be in vain; especially if you think of retrieving the disgrace, that j has already befallen our county, j From the first of this month, (at my own cxpeiici) my hoes and Road Plow, have been going on this dangerous and ne glected Stage Road, and will continue for sometime; for I care not, besides Free dom, for any thing more than what maybe sufficient to keep ine above the frowns of ,|| mortals, and especially those who are mad to a sense of their own, and their Country's honor.

MY recent relinquishment of a participation in the editorial labors of an old and well e stalilished journal, would seem to roquire but few preliminary remarks, in the proposod undertaking, were it not, that they are usually demanded by public expectation, and sanctioned by custom. As there is no g.«id reason why this “timo honored observance” should be disregarded in the present instance, 1 shall submit an epitome of my princi ples, ard the course which shall be observed in conducting a now journal. The object of tho proposed publication being purely what its title implies supercedes the title of that political com mentary, which • the doctrines of tire day have usually demanded; yet as my former professions are held with unabated a'tac nnent, and there being no neutral ground in the conflicting and varied sentiments, wn>c!i daily arise, as to bmlt men and measures, it follows, that I should not on ly make an exp sition of ny political tenets, but a.so, that they sh tild bo boldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. I ave ever indulged an ar dent devotion to republican ism as the term wss understo dby its advocates in '9B—a sacred re gard to the letter and spirit of the constitution, and a determined and fixed hostility to every thing like constructive or implied powers—an ex tension of equal justice to all partioj—that all power in inherent in and derived from the people, as the orignal gourco and ulrmate tribunal—the independence and distinct sovereignty of the states, and their confederacy as a union tinder a government limited and actually defined in its powers. These are prominent articles of my political fa th, and believing in their cotrectnexs shall abide ny them in every trial. Among tho many topics of deep interest that agilsle the peo blo ,f all claees, is the exerciso of nnwarantable rrovermental influence on tho industry and reso tre es of the unconstitutional expenditure of the pub lic treasmo to objects of Interal Improvement— measures too frequently destitute of general ben efit, and often times marked by a spirit of partiali ty. selfislineas and injustice. It would bo criminal for one seated on “the wateli-tower,” and in the exercise of (he duties which belong to the Press, to obs-rve with callous indifference, the cause? which have produced and the efl'octs which have resulted from the Intitudinary construction of the constitution. The dangerous consequence* which may ensue, are already indicated hy the excited feelings of tho country. lain deeply im pressed that wrong has been done, and evil tole rated; yet witli a spirit of forbearance, jt would be better fir the oppressed to hear their evils whilst they art tolerable, than “fly to those they know not of.” The present is an era in the history of our gov ernment, distinguished for improvement. The 'over of his country beholds it on its “return march’* to its Original purity and principles. Al ready has tlio distinguished head of tlw govern monl said—“ The successful operation r.fili fed eral system can only be preserved by confining it to the few and simple, but et impmtant object* for which it was designed.” This is a guarantee that the purpose of tho present executive of tho union and his supporters is an effort to restore the con-titution to its orignal healthy and unim paired condition lam happy to accord with the administration and its friends in the wise and well directed course which is pursued by them. The time was, when to diavent from the meas ures of any of the prominent parties of our state, by an attar,hment to any of the othets or *o their distinguished oigans, implied a hostility and acri mony which frequently had no hounds, and ren dered “wisdom justice nnd moderation'' an emp ty and absurd profession. The time* and circum stances have now beconle more congenial to bet tor feelings; the perplexing difficulties wltieh have surrounded us. thoso emanating abroad, and fos d„f e t .. h v°{S®d.V?
