Heynbtit. JAMES GARDNER, JR., ) and > Editors. JAMES M. SMYTHE, ) [cOMMUNICATRD.j The Georgia Military Institute at Marietta. This institution is the first of its kind that an attempt has been made to establish in the State ; and, considering the particular necessity for it in Georgia, full of varied resources, requiring scien tific men to direct their development, and in view of the many advantages presented for edu cation over ordinary colleges, it merits more at tention by the press than has yet been bestowed on it. In a few remarks, all that may be properly compassed in a newspaper article, I will bring to your notice some account of its origin, its con dition and prospects, and the guaranty yet de manded to secure to it permanency and the ut most efficiency. The scheme originated with Mr. A. V. Brum by, who has labored a couple of years for its ac complishment. Unable, with his own means, to carry out the design, he had recourse to the sys tem of association, and public-spirited citizens in and around Marietta, responded. His recom mendations were adopted—money was contri buted—a beautiful site was purchased—buildings were erected—professors chosen—and in July last the Academy was opened with promise of success. There are now about forty Cadets> mainly from Georgia, but several are from the adjoining States. There are not y«t accommo dations for more than sixty scholars, and addi tional means must be collected for the extension, since it is all-important to effective control, that the Cadets should mess and lodge together. Ad ditional means are also required to furnish a li brary, chemical and philosophical laboratory and apparatus, models, kc. &c. The course of studies, and the rules of discipline, prescribed for the Lni.ed States Military Academy at West I’oiut, have been adopted The entire establishment is owned by stockholders, and is under the direc tion of a Board of Trustees. Major Brumby is the Superintendent, and in structs also in some ot the higher branches. He entered West Point from the State of North Carolina—graduated with distinction in 1835 was subsequently Professor of Mathematics, kc., in the University of Alabama, and recently in charge of a similar institution to the one at Marietta. He is not only competent by eminent ability and peculiar taste, for the present posi tion, but is farther aided by ample experience ami by a character of piety and approved habits of conduct. His assistants, I have learned, are entirely capable in their several departments. The location at Marietta was well selected. It is near enough to the heart of the State—is accessible by Rail-roads, and in a bracing and healthful climate. While sufficient society is afforded to enliven the hours of recreation, and aid in forming the manners, the 6inall town pre cludes the opportunities and the temptations to dissipation and extravagance, even if thei'nn gcn/ regulations in these respects did not entirely piohibit such indulgencies. The Academy is three-quarters of a mile distant—on an elevated eminence, which, commanding a wide view of the surrounding country, with its varied scenery ol mountain and valley and plain, might entitle it to tile appellation of tbe West Point of Georgia If, as Bacon says, “ the object of education be k-nowlcdge, and the improvement of the body and the mind,” no other system, it would seem, is so well adapted to attain it as this. The former will he necessarily obtained. The recitations are regular, and are rigidly exacted. Absence is not allowed, except in cases of sickness, and this sickness is to he pronounced by a physician. Besides, each Cadet in the section rooms, is re quired to recite upon the lesson. No one is pass ed over, as in many Colleges. There, in too many instances, the youth knows on what days lie will be called up—rarely consecutively—lie even knows what portions of the lesson will tall to him, and he studies accordingly. Here it is altogether different, and thus idleness, with its host of concomitants, is utterly prevented. The daily military exercises will insure the latter “ object of education.” The body receives an erect and graceful carriage, is inured to fatigue, and consequently rendered robust and healthy : \\ hile the observance of strict impartiality—tlia equality of clothing, fare, and as far as practicable of pecuniary resources—the sameness of duties and recreations, and the systematic graduation of studies inspire, as at the model of West Point, an esprit du corps, which elevates the tone of character, that its eleres in general, would main tain through all their after pursuits and conduct in life. What is taught here will be thoroughly learn ed. Ail examination cannot be passed without full and accurate acquaintance of the studies. No mere smattering—no superficial ideas, will be tolerated. Those who remain must learn— and those who cannot, or will not learn, will not be permitted to remain. Thus the native intellect of each will be forced to its legitimate development. Under such a system, the stand ard of education would l>e raised. The sliding through College, with scarcely opening a book, would be checked. The scientific avocations in the growing state ot Georgia, with so many re sources. demanding men of knowledge and en ergy to expose and improve them, would be till ed by competent persons, and those not im ported for the purpose, but the growth of her own soil, proving themselves the ornaments of her institutions, while demonstrating the utility of an improved plan of mental cultivation. West Point graduates may be found in all the pursuits requiring a high degree of mental discipline and profound practical attainments: and they are eagerly sought, all over the country, as the very best directors in nearly all enterprises that exact these qualifications. With proper encourage ment, Marietta will turn out men equally val uable : and it is for the Legislature of Georgia to determine, whether the State must continue to look mainly abroad for men of science, or will foster a nursery—a seminary for them, within her own borders. The studies pursued here are essentially scien tific. Belles Lettres will he partially introduced. The dead languages aie excluded, and of the living, only the French is taught. The ancient classics are part of the collegiate course. But how few classical scholars are now to be found ! How few who can read at all, much l*ss fluent ly, Homer and Cesar, in the originals! It is no- 1 torious, that lessons are now conned with the aid of translations. The lexicon in College, is al most a sealed book. It is only now and then that a student, impelled by ambition or decided relish, becomes proficient in Greek or Latin; ; and he would do the same, without going to c 1- lege. But the mass of them are as ignorant when the diploma is conferred, as when they de parted from the preparatory school. The classics may be acquired in our own language, and curi- : osity or taste may be left to urge to the knowledge ; of the original, without the discredit of the pre- 1 sent sham teaching. Without, however, dero- ! gating from a proper instruction of the ancient languages, this Institution is designed to teach ' our own, and all branches of science. These are ! its basis. The military studies—and these really include all science and much of art—are applied here, for ad- i ditional purposes to these, and to bodily exercise. They may not, indeed, be required for offensive I or defensive objects. But they still constitute a ' noble branch of learning: they cultivate the i spirit of a people; its pride and energy—they | strengthen character, by heightening the moral j and mental tone; while, if Machiavelli is cor rect, that “there are no sinews in war, but j the sinews and muscles of men’s arms,” they furnish enlightened directors of those sinews in war: and in peace, inspire courage, hardiness and emulation, in ail its pursuits. The great j empires of the world, the Persian, the Roman, subsisted only while the martial virtues flourish ed in vigor. When these were extinguished by corruption, the people sank into slothfulness and servitude. .Said the “ wisest of mankind,” Ba con, “ above all things, cultivate a stout and war like disjiosition of the people.” Not so much for periods of hostility, hut because, at all periods, they impel to bold enterprises—to energy—to persistence—to heroism; all of which are ex hibited equally, in the occupations of war and peace. Said Solon to Croesus, in the display of his treasures, 11 when another comes with iron, he will be master of all your gold.” It may be deemed a metaphorical expression. Hardy vir tue wins all of earth worth having, against the voluptuary amid his luxuries, and the sensualist amid his excesses. It is not wealth that makes the greatness of a State, (sec Sir Wm. Jones,) it is not gold that ennobles man, or an iota presses him onward in a useful career. It is energy." Energy is life. And military exercises and studies—enlarging the mind and invigorating the body, are well calculated to expand and sustain this great germ, which gives usefulness and hap piness. For the stability of this Institution, and for its perfect success, there is one grand desideratum. The State must envelope it with her protecting and fostering care. Where rigid discipline is to lie enforced, and without it the true objects of its organization are nugatory, there must be au thority". And as tills cannot he effectually ex cised in such a private academy, a public enact ment must give it force. What the Slate or dains, is regarded 1.1 positive law. To adopt this Military School, with its rules of study and dis cipline, would 1m- to exact obedience beyond the cavil of individuals. The just punishment of one Cadet, would not excite hostility or discontent in his, or the parents of others. It would be deemed lawful and proper —it would be acqui esced in, as a necessary restraint, and a whole some chastisement, to result in the general good. No such Institution can exist permanently, and shed abroad all its benign influences, without the sanction of law. Other States have conceived the wisdom of the policy. Kentucky had a school, which so overflowed with patronage, that a second has been established. Virginia hasone, which the State lias patronized by an appropria tion of 70 or SBO,OOO. At the State expense, one Cadet is sent for each Senatorial district. There are 32 of these, and 168 others, all that can lie received: and 300 to 350 are annually reject ed, because supernumerary. Only native Vir- 1 ginians can be received. South Carolina has two Academies. Both are successful, and very many applicants are yearly turned off. They are all popular. They all model after West Point, and are all superintended by West Point graduates. If Georgia, whether she appropriates much or little money, will throw around the i Marietta Institute, the -Egis of her protection— | it will inspire confidence—secure pennanency— j insure efficiency in the instructors, and proficien- j cy in the pujiils, and redound ultimately both to | her honor and her advantage. It may prosper | without this aid. but its discipline must he half j way, which is destructive to its great advan- j tages, and, in the end, it must degenerate into the merely mercenary system of common col- i leges. Here is a favorable opportunity for the ■ Legislature to exhibit patriotism and wisdom— I to found a scheme of Education, exemplary for the State, beneficial to all her citizens, and de corative to her honor, while highly advantage ous to her permanent interests. H. I A Jewish Divorce. —A Jewish divorce was ! granted in this city a few days ago. It is the fust case tiiat has occurred here during 13 years. The applicant was the husband. The mode of i untying the knot is simple. Ji’he aggrieved par- 1 ty laysj the case before the chief rabbi, who se- i lefts two other rabbis, and the three hear tire statement: call witnesses and if satisfied that there are grounds for a divorce, give to the suitor a writing of twelve lines—no more nor less—on parchment. This is signed by witnesses, who also see that this party delivers it to the party crimi- ! nated. When this lias been done the separation is complete, though the parties can be re-married, if they wish: but if the wife—for instance should marry another man, and he should die, the former husband cannot again marry iier. The woman in this case is not a Jewess by birth or education. She was connected with no church. Shortly after her marriage, she appealed most urgently to the rabbis here to be admitted to the Jewish faith. After considerable opposition, her wish was granted. This is very rare, and only one other instance has occurred, so far as we can learn.— Ohio Plaindcaler, Oct. 6.

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE STATE. DjT SEE FIRST PAGE OF DAILY? - On the State of Parties. (concluded.) All the signs of the times show that the whig I portion, of the Constitutional Union party, are i ready to coalesce with Northern democrats, such 1 as they may deem favorable to the compromise. , They know that the Northern whig party is I utterly corrupt on the slavery question. But let us bring the question home. We address our -1 selves now, more particularly to the Southern | Rights whigs. The Southern Rights party has j been twice badly beaten upon the late compro ; misp issues. Is there the least prospect that the j result would be more favorable upon another ! trial ot that issue? Why should we exhaust our | efforts in endeavoring to accomplish an object i which, it is plain we cannot accomplish ? Why pursue a shadow which forever eludes our grasp? In our article, of yesterday morning, we point ed out the great inducements yet before the Southern Rights party to engage its best and most devoted energies. Suppose, for the sake of policy, and, to escape an unjust odium which has attached to us under the name of the South ern Rights party, it should take a different name ? Whatol that? Is that any reason why Southern Rights whigs should shrink back and falter in their duty? By no means. At our convention in Milledgeville we all, whigs and democrats, declared amon» other things, our be lief that a Bank of the United States, a Tariff which favored one section at the expense of an other, Internal Improvements by the general government, not strictly national, are unconstitu tional. The writer of this article,formerly a whig! as a memberjof that convention, meant in goad faith, just exactly what we there declared. Many of the Southern Rights whigs formerly believed that Congress had the constitutional power to charter a Bank of the United States. We be lieved that it was necessary and proper as a fis cal agent, to collect, transfer and disburse the funds of the government. The United States Bank had apparently work ed well, and there were times, during the intcr -1 vals of their non-existence, when the country was in a state of great monetary embarassment. In the Sth section of the Ist article of the constitution, will be found the enumeration of powers granted to Congress. Not one of them authorizes the establishment of a National Bank. But we find this clause at the close of the enumeration of the delegated powers: “ Con gress shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the gov ernment ot the United States, or in any depart ment or officer thereof.” Under this clause many whigs justified the chartering of a National Bank, believing it was necessary and proper, as a fiscal agent, to en able the general government to perform its duty in reference to the management of the Nation al funds. But we have seen that the present Indepen dent Treasury system has worked well during years of peace, and several years Jof an expen sive war. The necessity for a National Bank, is, therefore, clearly disproved. Hence when we look into the enumeration oi powers granted to Congress, and see how weak the support which they af ford fora National Bank, and see it demonstra ted that such an institution is not necessary to enable Collgrcss to carry into execution a sin gle one of those powers, we are forced to the ; conclusion, its establishment by Congress would i be unconstitutional. Now, as to a Tariff. There is not a whig in j Georgia whs can point to a cluase in the consti j tution which authorizes the enactment of a Ta ■ riff by which one portion of the Union is bene ! fitted at the expense of another. The true con j stitutional dsetrine is, a tariff for revenue. It j may, or may not be, inconsistant with the con | stitution, according to the case, to discriminate ' for protection of home industry. Wherever that ! can be done constantly with the constitution, 1 it is equitable and proper to do it. Some years ago Mr. Clay, then the embodi | raent of whiggery, declared in his place in the Senate that all Internal Improvements, not | strictly national, ought to be confined to the res- I pective States. It matters not whether he and , the whig party has acted since, inconsistently ! with that declaration : lie gave up the doctrine i then. The writer of this believes that such ! schemes of Internal Improvement as are often ; < gotten up in Congress are grossly unconstitu ' tional and palpably of evil tendency. One vast ! appropriation leads to another, and this profligate i expenditure of the National funds affords a pre text to the high Tariff men to cry fir more pro tection. Besides, this money is generally spent on works in the non-slaveholding States. But a i small pittance of it has ever found, or will ever ' 1 find its way into the slaveholding States. It is well known that the Southern Rights party, i not only in Georgia, but, in other Southern i States, consist mainly of democrats. We re- i member, in our early contests upon this slavery and territorial question, that we went into South ern Rights meetings, in various parts ol'the coun- ! try, where nearly all were democrats. By de- , grees, true Southern whigs united with them, until the number of whigs in the Southern Rights ranks became formidable. But alter a while some of the democrats became corrupted, or misled, and faltered in the line of duty. The results at the polls are known to all. Now. if good policy should dictate a change of name, if it should be generally thought best to rally un- i der the old name of democrats, where will the Southern Rights whigs go ? Os course to those who are their best friends, and who entertain principles nearest alike their own. The Bank. Tariff and Inte.ual Improvements, are no obsta cles to a union between Southern Rights whigs and democrats. When Southern Rights whigs ( first saw the South assailed openly, and after wards insidiously by her Northern foes—when I the fabric of Southern Rights shook to its centre j and totered for want of sustaining help, who I aided mostly, and with a noble and sublime zeal, j to support and steady it ? Democrats, yes de mocrats. Southern Rights whigs who acted with them, who toiled and sympathized and i strove through a long and gloomy period with them, to save the South from the devouring deep | of future ruin, can never forget the valor, the i public virtue and devoted patriotism of the de mocrats. These acts have effaced all ancient prejudices, and made the Southern Rights whigs and democrats faithful allies in their present and future political hopes. Some people talk of whiggery as if it had a being. It may live in some deceitful form, seek ing to effect its objects, power and plunder, un der the guize of Constitutional Unionism; but we speak of it as a party. Where is it ? It was garroted at Milledgeville, on the 12th of Decem ber last by its own leaders. There is, therefore, no whig party to go to. It certainly can have no attractions for Southern Rights whigs, under the form of Constitutional Unionism. How was it recently at the polls' Nearly forty thousand whigs voted for Mr. Cobb, while thirty thousand demo scrats voted for Gov. McDonald. These facts are sufficient to sway the hearts and the judgments of Southern Rights whigs. If the new organi zation is not based upon a sectional foundation, we know where its members will be found, when Southern danger shall call them to action Associations in the gloomy past, present sym pathies, political affinities, and common hopes for the future, have united the mass of the demo crats, and the firm, patriotic and unflinching Southern Rights whigs, upon a common political platform. May their efforts be propitious for them as jiolitical associates, but more particular ly for their country. The River. The river has risen within the past two days about twenty one inches, and is still rising slow - ly. It is now sufficiently high to enable steamers to come up to the wharf. There is any quantity of goods in Savannah to come up. New Post Officos in Groorgia. Ojjice. County.

Bargain with Wilmot.— Under this head ing the Pennsylvanian says: ‘‘The constant clamor and calumny of the adherents of Johnston |before the election, charg ing a bargain between the National Democrats in this State and the author of the Wilmot Pro viso,—persevered in to drive to Johnston’s sup port all whigs in lavor ot the Compromise mea sures, which was, to a certain extent, successful —this clamor and calumny have been tested by the result in Mr. Wilmot’so .vn county of Brad ford. where Bigler loses about four hundred votes because of his bold and uncompromising opposi tion to the abolitionists. It was the weakest and most contemptible falsehood that could have been fabricated, and was used by the North ■American with a full knowledge of its perfect un truth. Like a foul vapor receding and fading before the rising sun, the figures have effectually dissipated it."’ The New-York papers received Thursday .con tain full advices of the foreign intelligence brought by the Pacific. We understand that the private accounts received in New-Yorkare rath er more favorable than the printed statements. There had been several failures—Messrs. Hugh Casement & Son, and Paul & Dastis, London; Messrs. Bell & Co., Bristol; and Messrs. Slater & Robertson, and Patrick Robertson, of Glasgow. Two other small failures were announced at Glasgow. Tiie London Times and the Cuban Affair. —The London Times, of the 14th inst., has an other article on the Cuban affair, suggested by the arrival of the Havana prisoners ir. Spain. Its tone is quite a contrast to that displayed in its former articles on the same subject, evincing, as it does, something like a desire to do justice to the intentions of our Government and the great body of our citizens. The charge delivered by Judge Catron to the grand jury at Nashville, Tenn.,is referred to with marked commendation as containing "as straightforward an exposition of American law, and as uncompromising a con demnation of the Cuban delinquents, as could have been pronounced by any authority in Europe.” The propeller Henry Clay, Capt. Geo. Collard. lost on Lake Erie on Saturday week, had on board thirty persons, includiag the crew, and one fe male passenger. David Keefe, the wheelman, was the only hand saved. Capt.

I.— Cotton. —This article was in fair request throughout the preceding week, and as the demand was fully up to the receipts, the market was not only firm, but gradually acquired additional strength, and when we closed our inquiries, preparatory to our report of the 24th ultimo, prices had a decidedly advancing tendency ; and the market sustained this po sition at the opening of the week under review. The sales during the first two days, viz : Friday and Satur day. amounted to about 20011 bales. The unfavorable advices, however, brought out by the steamer Pacific, which came to hand on Sunday, depressed the market, and th-ro was subsequently a struggle among dealers as to who should obtain the ascendency. The business of Monday aud Tuesday was done on rather easier terms, although no decided reduction can be said to have been established in prices On Wednesday the demand was rather active than otherwise, which was freelv met by sellers, who generally seemed more disposed to yield to circumstances they were unable to control, and the transactions, in many instances during the day. were made at a positive reduction of oue-eightli cent on the prices current at the opening of the week— Thursday was appointed a Thanksgiving day by the Common Council, and so limited were the sales on that -lay. that operations may be said to have been suspeu dei The market was well attended yesterday, aud no new feature presented itself. The transactions, as on Wednesday, were most generally in favor of purchasers to the extent recorded above, but while we admit this fact, we must further add. that we do not think it ad visable to reduce our quotations, and therefore renew those of the previous week, to which we would refer, as they approximate as near as possible to the true po sition of the market at the clo «of the week Very little ha- been done in the extreme grades in conse quence of their scarcity, and hence the inability we labor under in not being able to give quotations.

This was owing, in a great measure, to the state of "the market, which had been in great depression.

This, so far from increasing the amount of sales, has had a contrary effect.
