Chanty , incSfnes • to think lie hen net jet mastered the totyeci assumes to comment npon—a The admission on the part of the Com pany of their inability to go on with the Bond, was made under the administration of Henry, ft. Welles, or ander the old organi- wmi was the resalt of a correspondence foMtiuted for the very puipoeeor opening the way te reorganisation the Boandl It was well know that the Company was groan in?mder a heavy bonded debt; that ita af fowO were complicated in the extreme ; that the Messrs. Welles had so managed as to lose the confidence of the friends of the Boad in New York, as well as in-Georgia; that tbe affairs of the Company were fast *p pteaching a crisis that threat need the existence nf the enterprise, and that under the admin istration ot in Welles’ not one dollar coaid le raised to extricate the company from its difficulties. These facts were known to the committee,and they were equally well known In the Board of Directors in New York, and hence it was deemed advisable to institute Ibe correspondence alluded to, in order to drew out the negative declarations which were contained in the reply of President Waits, through Mr. Wheeler the then Bee setory, te the interngatoriee that were pro pounded by.,the Committee. These declarations were made the basis of the proceedings that followed. It was as- 1 cert*iced that, with a change in the organ! nation of the Board thu Company eould be nettovsd of Ha bonded debt; that the greater perdu of the Boating debt eould be satisfac torily anauged. and that iron could be pro eared Holey the track to Big Creek, The Qoewnittae wen satisfied on these points 4a the pledges of gentlemen of tone, character and means, who are largely inter filed in the success of the reed, but who were unwilling to risk tbeir funds in the eempliested difficulties of the Welles’ organ isation. Hence the •• suggestion” of the gentlemen composing the committee relative la“ retiring bonds,” foe., from which resul ted tbe organisation of tbe Board; retiring the Bonds into stock; the arrangemet of the Boating debt, so for as it is arranged, and the erebabl# purchase of Iren to lay tbe track (o Big Creek. It was by transferring the control of the enterprise te the hands of men of integrity, energy and ability, and in whom the money - ad Mas of New York and Southern Geor gut could place reliance, that all this was to he, and was accomplished. The Reporter wouild leave the impression that the Company, in its present condition, anknowledges its inability to go on with the work. Such is not tbe case. The Board of Directors thoroughly understand the con dition of the Company, and they are satis fied that with thanssist an jo justly due from th people along the lines, the Road can be curried forward to a speedy and succcsful termination. Tbe Reportjof the Committee is a thorough nepotc of the o flairs of the Company, she w ingthe cost of the Road, and the liabilities of tbe Company, with a full and complete state ment of tbe Bond account, and the condition of tbe floating debt. And when tbe Repor ter learns that this report (the report of the Auditing Commettee) together with the con struction account, and account current, em l>racing 9614,000, in items ranging from fifty cents up to thousands, were made up from mrtmml r ouchert, (the books being thrown aside altogether.) 1 suppose ho will hardly think so lightly of the “job.” He knows Bttle of such difficult and complicated ac counts if he hneginet the Committee bad an easy task. But the Reporter it still uneasy, and would know more of the supposed embezsied bonds. Tbe balance of the old 9 1.200,000 issue, not turned over to the new Treasurer, nod which were used not for the benefit of the Company, were searched for and their whereabouts wasateertainod, and thereupon r per measures were taken to require Mr, 8. Welles tore-deem and surrender them •u tbe Company .-and before Mr. Harris, the ■ow Treasurer, left New York, matters wore in such a shape that forbearance and leniency towa da Mr. Welles, alone preven ted tbe officers of the Company from taking charge of tbe bonds. The board had ample securities from Mr. Welles for tbe rendition of tbe and 1 have no doubt ere this they are in the possession of the President: they are or not, howevnr.it mat lore not, for they were hypothecated without antbosity from the board ot Directors, and] he no svsal con the Company be made liable too their redemption. Tb #12,000 of outstanding notes that applied • the Company” were is mtd for I legitimate pnroi>seif>tjtbe Company, and though they were naed by Mr. Welle,, no record appear* upon the book, of the Company, or any where dan.ih*i the proceed, wore ever appropriated to the uao of the Company. In this matter aa in the bond,, Mr. Welle, certainly Mem, to atand in the Habla position of a drfaultrr, or if you a fckayleriat. But them note,, like ads, were to be brought in and aurron dbtedby Mr. Welle,; nor had tbe Board najjiatteA iba auattwary security for their Tbe remainder of the $300,000 issue of Banda that had not been retired Into atock, were pledged to he to disposed of by the holder. In an agreement with the Board. Dr. {feUfcw had signified hi, entice willingness to •nth* tbe Bonds which be holds, and also to gKtle with tbe Company upon . (sir. liberal and easy term, —terms that an highly utia fruetory to the Board, and readily assented to; Mid if he hM not been settled with before this, it is because tbe proper parties hare not MmuHtdpportnnjty of seeing him. The Boating debt, with tne exception of es about SOO,OOO, ha, likewieo bean conver ted into ateek. This amount constitute* the entire indebtedness of the Company, and the .greater portion of that baa been ao arrang ed that tbe Company will feel no immediate ■itsuare therefrom. The balance will proba bly bare to be earned very soon—sn amount £9O 000 or by whom”-the 10 per cent on 18,100 shares of stock was paid and says be has * strong reason te believe that the certificate book does not tell tbe truth.” The Auditing Commettee did investigate this subject thoroughly, and found the fort as suited. Tbit 19 per cent was mostly 1 paid in bj tbe old parties-* 1. e. tbe parties who were in on the capital stock; and the 10 per east is n part and parcel of that sum. The Report ter doubts everything, even that any money at aH has been paid in; and jet we havn a Road in successful operation 3l miles in length:—Surely these yenkees are wonder ful men—possessing peculiar powers. I apprehend if Rail Roads could be built with out money, our friends of Thomas might be induced to lend a little assistance. The Reporter errs in stating that%he Company has right Directors, aad that four of them reside ia New York, There are but seven Directors, (including the Piesi dent,) three of whom, aad President, reside in Georgia, or will as soon as. Mr. Wheeler arrives, se that business eaa, and will be transacted here it boat the voice of a” Wall street Director.” The Reporter rings (he changes on tbe failure of the new Board to procure iron, and has “ heard nothing of any purchase of uou by any parties.’ ,If the Reporter would crawl up a little out of bis •• wire grass” bur row, be might hear something of the “ panic” ’ in tbe mooey market; and if be would reed i bis exchangee, posaibly be might have tbe charity and fairness to attribute the failure of Mr. Wheeler to carry out his promise to tbe same cause that has’ crippled every Railroad company io the Union, and forced one half of them to suspeud. - There is scar cely a Rail Road Company in tbe United Btates able at this juncture to buy a thousand tons of iron. We can hardly expect Mr. Wheeler te bn auecesfu) just now io making iron contracts, but knowing that he will leave no stone unturned in his efforts to pro cure it we may stiH hope for his success. Tbe Reporter thinks the report of the Committee “meager,” and sneers at the j idea of “ six weeks arduous labor.” Would the Reporter have the Committee publish all tbe papers connected with,and upon which that report is based t the voneliere, stock list, ac count current, engineer’s accounts, and the thousand-and-one other doenments that aid important only upon file and in tbe rauking up of total ana aggregate results 1 Fie upon you Mr. Reporter, these papers would fill a volume almost as large as De Bow’s census. Their length renders their publication impns ible, even if it were necessary or desirable. They are however, public documents—to those interested—and by calling at office of the Brunswick dt Florid! Rail Road Com pany, in our city, the Treasurer, Mri Harris, aver polite and obliging, will take pleasure in exhibiting them to any body who has the shadow of a right to see them. As to the Reporter’s allusion to the Main Trunk, and the responsibility of its failure I have nothing to say. Perhaps the subject may be worthy of a seperate article. 1 shall think of it. I hope the Reporter will do me justice to publish this article. Onkot tiik Committee. A TVUTT-mi MIL! TBOTTIHO MITCH. | The Taylor and Dalton horses trotted a I twenty-five mile race at the fair ground at Bridgeport, Ct., on 23d inst. The Adverti sersays: The horses were brought npon the ground vat about 2£ o’clock, and kept walking over the course till tbe arrangements were comple ted for thestsrt. The Taylor horse appear ed to be the most spirited snd best looking of the two. He is of chesnut color, carries his Lead up, and has an easy, elastic step. The Dalton horse is of a sorrel color carriea his head down, and lias a long, firm 1 step. It was quite apparent that the form- ‘ er had tliejmost “ speed,” and the latter the moat “ bottom.” From the start to the end of the twenty-five mile* the Dalton horse did not break his trot nor make a misstep. He was stopped twice to “ sponge.” but soon recovered the distance lie tiius lost. The Taylor horse did not stop once daring the whole performance, but frcqnently broke in- ’ to arun, and thus gained bis competitor.— Both are horses of astonishing powers ot en durance. Apparently they were not as much fatigued at *ne end of the race as most ; horses that we have seen after a drive at the same speed of three or four times around the coarse. On the fiftieth and last tnrn it waa plain that the Dalton horse would come in first; but, on the last quarter, the Taylor ! horse broke into a run, and got in a few feet ahead; time, 1:52 The judges however de cided the Dalton horse was the winner of tbe of the race. According to the reckoning of the judges, the twenty-five miles were per formed in ninety-tix minutet uud fifteen te condi. The average time according to the judges’ count, was three minutes and fifty-one ae connds per mile. ■ MOW AMO ; IHMM: THX DIFFMJtINCI. A number of our alarmist cotemporaries, without stopping to inquire wiierein consists the similarity, are fouud of comparing the eriaia of “ 1837 and 1857,” a comparison sug gested more perhaps by a curious coincidence of sounds than by any thiug else. The New wark Gasette, more wisely turning back to ita files, probes the subject to the bottom. In 1837 tbe country was poor. The crops were cut off (he year before and when tbe Soneral bank suspension took place, in May, our was selling in New York at 97 26-4-98 75‘per barrel. On the Ist of Jane notwith standing the change in the relative value of money, flour bad risen to 98 sO'S>9lo; en the,23d, to 910 50,while in the meantime car goes of imported wheat were sold at 91 60 to 91 65 per buahel. Now, however, tbe ‘ ease in fortunately very different. Tbe Union ia rich and pros perous throughout its whole extent groaning in fact under tha wiaght of ita prosperity. Crops of ail kinds are every where abnndant and have been for screes of years, especially l tbe prune articles of necessity and tbe gieat tuples of the cohptry in which consists ita I wealth. Our only dificnjty, indeed at the present time is in getting our superabundant products to market, a difficulty of an acci dental and necessarily a ten porary nature. ; A few weeks and ail will again be right. A young lady was asked recently how she could possibly afford, ia these awful bard times, to take asnaic lesions. “Obi” said •be, ft I confine myself to the to a* motm F C|t ®Rre-#rass Jqjoritr. Taesdsr. lfwvemslHEr li, I Mg. Or. E. O. ABNOLD, —DeirriaT,. HAS returned and resumed the practice of tu* pro.. feiaioa at hi* Reaidence in Thvmaaviile. net 3 w 3t TAX AMENDE Soon after my connection with the ’ Wire- 1 Grass Reporter waa formed, a communica tion appeared in the*Savannah Republican over the signature of “ One on ’Em,” which gave me some pretty hard raps, and which from the best information I could get. I be lieved emenatod from the office of Baker A Bennet at Troupviile. In this communica tion reference was made to the “ ermine” “judicial robes” “political cesspools” dec., but the main body of the piece was ia a iriendly spirit, snd although the terms above mentioned stung me a little, yet I treated the whole communication lightly and was deter mined to let it pass. When I arrived in Ma con some weeks ago, a friend informed me. of She communication in tbe RecordCr.and from ; his account of it, I believed that it proceeded j from the same source ns the one in the Re publican. I went to the Telegraph Office to find the paper, but it had been mislaid and I have never seen it to this dny. I- came to : the conclusion that these gentlemen, forget : ting our former friendly relations, had made up their minds to injure me personally, snd in my efficb I position, and 1 am nut or.e of those who will tamely submit to insult and injury. _ Accordingly in my letter to ■my associate from Macon, I spoko of the “little Know j Nothing lawyer,” and'wili not deny that I struck at both of these gentlemen. While at Nashville a few days since I had a conver sation with a gentleman from Troupviile in | regard to this matter, and he satisfied me that instead of the anonymous scribbler be ing a Know Nothing lawyer, it was a Know Nothing preacher. 1 immediately went in quest of Col. Baker who had beeu-there, for the purpose of making tlie necessary expla nation and apology, but he had left. On ar riving at homo 1 find two communications, one from Col. Baker, the other from Mr. Bonnet, in both of which|l am bandied pret ty roughly, hut fairly and legitimately.— They are not published because 1 hope after this there will be no necessity for doing so, yet it shall be done if desired. Tbe refer ence to these gentlemen was calculated to re flect on them personally and professionally, | and lam satisfied now that'it was unjust. I consider them both gentlemen and eutitled to the public confidence as lawyers. HISTXMPEB AMONG THA DEM. We are reliably informed that the deer 1 in the counties of Irwin and Worth are dy | ing in great numbers. Many have been ; found dead in tbe woods, and many others i caught by dogs after a short chase. A hun ter discovered a large buck by hearing him cough a few days since, and killed him. He j was diseased. Tbe blood was thin and wate ry, and the joints seemed to be bloodshot. The deer are dying in vast numbers in Thomas, Colquitt, and Baker, as well as in Irwin and Worth. IMUNIWICK RAILROAD. By request, we transfer an article on this subject from the Brunswick Herald into our columns of to-day signed “ One of the Com mittee.” We would not willingly do the Brunswick Company nor their Road any in justice, nor do we believe that we have done so. The Committee man says among other things equally pungent and caustic that if we would emerge sufficiently from onr •• Wire-Grass burrow” and look around, we could see many things that would go far to excuse the Compauy for its short-comings.— (We quote in substance.) We have left our business more than once, and spent our time money and breath for the t of this Road and Company, arid it has given us no pleasure to believe that it is a broken down unreliable concern. The Brunswick Com pany have lost tbe confidence of the people, and “ One of the Committee,” will find it impossible, with all his smooth writing and fine figuring to restore it to favor. The fling at the people of Thomas, in regard to wanting a Railroad without helping to pay for k, is exceedingly ridiculous to all who understand theTncts of the ease. But we desire no controversy on this subject, and in tend to have none. Let as have the Main Trunk. The people demand it as a right from all the parties concerned .and if it should be ukimately withheld, tbe responsibility upon the party finally in fault will be heavy indeed.”” Postmaster General has changed tbe Damn of Alapaba Port Office to Mill Town. • : turn. DAVID RLACWNRAB It has been tbe cuetom of rll the States of this Union to honor their distinguished j sons after de-.fi. by attaching their names ] to seme public place, that they might be re membered by theircotemporarks, and koo.ra to future generations. Georgia ha* punned this course, and as she bus a great number of counties, the opportunity has been thus to perpetuate tbe names of many of tier gifted and departed ‘ions. But, as theugb the home list bad been aha has ; gone into other States, and searched out names to immortalise. Why .is it, that the old hero and patriot whose -name heads this article has been neglected 1 Where is the Blackshear county in Georgia, or other place with his name attached, that would show that the State he served m well snd faithful ly had not forgotten him 1 When the Ooo nee River waa tbe boundary between the | Whites aud Indians, be was a settler on its banks, aud in those troublous times followed his plongh with his rifle swung to his; back {The whole country in the Indian neighbor | hood looked up to him aa tbeir protector and J defender, and he ever proved true to their confidence. ——.. When the Oeiqulgee became the frontier and troubles arose, he lef\ his family and his business, and by his skill and courage pro-’ j tected the settlers in that neighborhood.— Afterwards in connection with the great Jack son, he rendered efficient service to the State, : against tbe ludians and British. His valua -1 ble services were not confined alone to tbe war march or battlefield, hut he proved him j self a man of high intellect and immovable firmness, in the Legislature of Georgia.— I There are many white headed old men scat j tered about over the country, especially this part of it, who served with him both in the field and Legislative Halls, who feel that lie , has been neglected by the State. If anew county should be made this winters especial 'ly if it should be made in the Wire-Grass , section let it be called Blackshear. J This will bo but a simple act of to a departed old soldier and patriot, and will be gratifying to many who remember him with veneration and respect- TZMFXBAMCX. While journeying around for the past few weeks in tbe performance of our duties, it came to pass that we took a few drinks of liquor, and in our editorial correspondence mention was made of the fact. This, we are informed lias drawn out the nuiatadver sions of certain persons, who eighteen hun -1 dred years ago would have been called Phar isees. As connected with the subject of temperance there are four classes of people. 1 i One class never drinks at all, because they cannot, the article disagrees with them phys ically, and they could not drink if they would. This class would be considered for ’ tunate by some, unfortunate by others. An-. ’ other class never drink because they believe ’ it to be morrally wrong to do so, and tbeir ; quiet, consistent lives are an illustration of the principles they profess. .We honor such ‘: men from the bottom of our heart. Auotii 'l er class are exceedingly noisy,making speech , es often in the streets, and even in the syna- I gogues on the subject. If asked, never so I politely to take a drink, they turn np their ’ poses in holy horror, and in dignified I disgust. We have known such immediately ! after a scene of this sort, to retire to their 1 shops, or stores, and after looking all around to see that no one was watching, to pay their devotions to a private jug. We have but little use for this class of inen. I I The remaining class are extremists neith er way—they do not profess total abstinence, nor are thej regular drinkers. To this class we belong. We have lived many years in this country, and doubt if tbe individual can be found who will call us drunken ; on tbe contrary we abominate drunkenness, whether in the higher or lower walks of life as much as any one. When we wish to take a drink we do so openly and independently, and are not afraid to confess it any where or to any body. XABSOW ESCAPE FXOA A PANTHM. „ A citizen of Tbomas county was riding near Barnetts creek a few day since, when 1 he heard something like a cry of distress in the swamp. He replied to it repeatedly, and ’ it approached rapidly towards him. Judge of his supprise, when be saw-a large panther creep from tbe low bushes that skirted the swamp. Tbe beast saw him and made at him, but being well mounted he made his escape. This statement waa made to us as a fact. ’ AUGUSTA MEDICAL A SURGICAL JOURNAL.

We received this long and able document too late for insertion in this issue of the Re porter, but will publish it entire in our next. I It is well worthy of a careful perusal, and ; wilt do to lay asido for futurl reference. That our readers may not ba entirely in tbe dai* in regard to it, we give a brief synopsis ; of the leading points. . f. It first shows •financial condition of tbe State, and recommends the reinstating of | the sinking fund of 975,000, as provided by the Act of February Mth, 1851, to be set apart annually for the reduction of tbe lie debt. Alterations and modhyentions of the Tax laws is recommended, and good reasons giv en therefor. The Bank suspensions is also ; referred to, but the whole matter left in the hands cf the Legislature. The condition of the Western A Atlantic ! Railroad is also carefully examined, and the facts and figures show that it has been woful , ly slandered by peddling politicians. The Atlantic * Gulf Road, known better as the Main Trunk, is next and the Governor shows himsolf still the friend o this great work, -and tbe friend of Southern Georgia. The last Legislature passed an act extending the charter of the Brunswick &■ ’ Florida Railroad for five years from the eXpi ration of its charter, but the old charter has not yet expired and will not till December next. ‘ Now quere : The old charter not having expired, and the extension not having attach ed, is not the law extending the charter re , pealable 1 If it be, this stumbling block in . the way of the improvement of our section can be kicked aside, and Georgians left to 1 take care of themselves without interference from Northern speculators. The condition bf the Penitentiary, Acade my for the blind, and Lunatic Asylum k no ticed, aud suitable recommendations made in regard to them. „ . Other smaller matters nre also brought to the .consideration of the Legislature ; for nothing has escaped his excellency. His views in relation to the common school question are full of interest, and show how deeply the Governor has thought and felt on the mat ter. He finally takes a manly view of our Federal Relations —makds some wholesome suggestions, and takes a graceful leave of the people of Georgia as their chieT Execu tive. fotal Jlhttfrs. Democratic Convention. A Democratic Convention will 4k* held in Thomasville, on Tuesday the j 10th day of December, for the nom- j inatinn of County Officers.

All persons both in Town and Country who shall at any time be in want of a first rate article of Otard Brandy, or old Royal Holland Gin, or a finely flavored cigar, can procure the same by applying to TANARUS, J.

Yesterday morning, November Otb, about daylight the whole heavens wore a bright, red appearance—so bright as to be reflected from the tops of the houses and other objects like sunlight. What could have been the cause T An old negro woman upon behold ing it, said that it was a sure sign of war. The following particulars of the. killing of Mr. Allen, we clip from the Columbus Tv • lines : - - - “ Recently in Yorkvillc, there has been no little excitment growing out of a special informing agent, for thejfirm of Dougfos A. Cos., the New Y ork Commercial Agency, who it is said, seiit some reports that injured the reputation of a Mr. James Allen, Ji„ a mer chant of Yorkvillc—Long and warm corres • pondencegrew out of this matter, and on Saturday last Mr. James Allen Sr., was about posting explanatory handbills of the affair, when the special agent, a Mr. T. J. 8011, 1 approached him and desired him to desist; words arose, and Bell shot Mr. Allen on the spot with a double barrelled gnu, killing him iustantly. The greatest excitment prevails in Yorkyille—so onr informnant says, who arrived ia Columbia last night, and young Allen was by the merest chance prevented avenging the murder of his father by imme diately shooting the cold-blooded perpetrator of the dreadful deed. Bell is lodgea in jail, tad tbe authorities are commanding full pow -1 r over the excited people.” j Fashionable abiurdity—An eld woman in hooped skirt* n. YEiuroN. A. H. H. Dawson, Esq., of Savannah, 4* livered a lecture iu this’ place on Friday night upon the subject of the punches* of Mt. Vernon. Our readers are already advis ed that the Ladies of tbe South have orgoa. ixed an association, the object of which is to 1 purchase theea*red spot, and Mr. Dawsoe is one of their cotntnisseioned lecturers,whoH I duty it is to call public attentiou to the seb 'ject, and solicit contributions to th noble cause. * _ , We congratulate the ladies npon securing \ the services of such sn eloquent, gallant end energetic champion. As long as they have such efficient auxiliaries, they need have no fears of the “ falling through” of the ,en ter. prise. Mr. Dawson bos a tine flow of Ü B . guage, excellent declamation, and perfect master of his subject; these constitute the orat 6r—and such is he. We regret that we are unable to give a synopsis of his remarks, as we era sure our readers would be pleated. We are permitted, however, to extract the subjoined eloquent tribute to the noble com mander of the Cenfrsl America. After ta king the. position that Mt. Vernon odfeht and *ould be converted into an American West minister Abbey, he said : 4, “And if on this high purpose success awaits, the voice of the corMtfry will no doubt call n Monticello, .Ashland, the Her mitage. Marshfield, Fort Hill and many otb or sacred spots, to give up their dead; and if old Ocean would answer such a call, 1 for one would insist that iir the corner set apart for heroes the remains of the gallant and no ble Herndon should rest. For bis heroic de votion to woman in that dark and fearful Hour when despair had driven hope from ito throne in his brave heart,and inexorable fate had announced to him amid the hoarse and angry wailing of the tempest, his inevitable doom, speak ‘ trumpet tosigued’ to the whole world of the God like grandeur to his teal.” —Athent Banner. WHAT LONDON WILL IAT. When Tbreadneedle street (London) saw what Wall street is doing—that ia sending far, instead of specie—there will be open war there made up< a ” Cotton,” “ American Flour” and everything else American, in or der to keep specie at home. England, just now with the war in India upon hand, snd the- wsr in China, has no specie to spare for America, and will not give us without a fight for it,which fight will result in the Hotting up the credit of every American house in Lon don, Liverpool and Manchester. Nevertheless, gold must c<>nu, no matter what it costs tis, for “ Cotton is King,” and cotton alone can be had nf us, in sufficient quantity,” to meet the overruling demands of British Manufacturers. Bread may be got elsew here, snd other things also, but cotton is American, mid cotton must be had, Xnd gold must now _p.iy for the cotton. Our own California gold now, instead nf going to London, goes right into the Phila delphia Mint, to% coined as fast as possible into eagles, half eagles, and quarter eagles— and no more of‘that gold w : ll, for some t’nne, go to England. What we owe abroad, for the present, must be paid in “euspeuded pa per snd what we have to sell must couie back in gold. Produce has fallen, and is to fall. Every thing—from the useful, like wheat, to the luxurious, like tobacco. Sug .r, of course, is 10 goon failing—as it has fallen. ; The ape e e crucible w ill melt up property like wax. i l'iiieadneetlle street now has tiie crucible, j and w ill melt us all till the tide turns, and : we pay again in California gold, instead of keeping it at home. , Meanwbile, shipping commerce, the first thing to start into life in carrying abroad the raw mate.inis—will be the first to recover, and the first to extend the recovery toother branches of trade. It will have but little to bring back, but every thing to take out—the thing weighty, bulky, the raw material, that makes and pays the freights. A great set tling day with tiie world has come, and ships become the messengers of the settlement. — -V. Y. Bxprctt.
