Serth western gale, whose effects were so
on our const, look place, since which no

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

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

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.

PROPOSALS
Ry Mar.miduki; J Slade, p m publieu*
ing in thb Town of Macon, a wki
ly Newspaper, to ee call' »
SLIDE'S AGRICUL TURAL A MUICAXTILE
ADVERTISER.
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

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

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
