Gko. A!. Walker, Clerk. For the Chronicle and Sentinel. Our Prospefcts. Mr. Editor —The immense advantages of (lie state of Georgia, in respect to internal improve ments, and unlimited resources for commercial enterprise, very naturally excites a disposition on the part of her friends to seek oul all tlie channels, amldcvelope all Ihe sources of her prosperity. Her friends are encouraged by the respect ac corded to her for the extent and usefulness of tlie ■railroad, and they will still cherish the hope that Georgia is destined to secure the independence of the South. The city of Augusta combines every local ad vantage to render it the great central depot of foreign and domestic commerce , but the question whether Charleston, Savannah, Beaufort, or Bruns wick, shall become the Southern Atlantic Em porium, is still Uaooted. Charleston has the ad' vantage at present, and with prompt measures, will retain it against want of energy, and the less powerful influence of mere speculation. It can not be of much importance to Augusta, tf/hich of these places ultimately succeeds, for her inter course with them will bo facilitated in the ratio of its importance to herself, as t hey are equally contiguous. Considering Augusta tlie rallying 1 joint of commerce with the Atlantic, we lock to our prospects of increasing trade with llie West and South West. 'i'lie Athens RailfPad, ns far as Warrenton, will contribute largely to the concentration of the trade which would otherwise have gone via Ma con, &c., to Darien and Savannah; and ns it forms part of the great western stage route, can not hut prove a source of much advantage to the city. The Branch to Athens, considered by it.- salt, does not present such attractions ; for it seems only to anticipate the carriage of produce and merchandise; and it is a common prejudice that railroads do not pay unless they carry pas sengers. By its direction, however, all the trade of the rich counties this side of the Blue Ridge is intercepted and carried to Augusta, and as 1 will now endeavor to show, may be made to con tribute still further to the prosperity of our city. ft is a very general impression that ilia navis galion of the Savannah river, from Augusta to Petersburg!!,could be easily improved, and it ap pears tome that, at a moderate expense, compared with the advantages, it could bo rendered navi gable to a largo class of steamers. It is also probable that the Broad river could be opened as far as the south fork for large canal boats, and the waters of the south fork and Oconee would sup ply a canal to Athens. An abundance of water can be obtained for a canal from Athens to the Chattahoochee, aed falling into the latter river we would descend to Vickorys creek, and thence across to the Etowah, near the Sixes Old Town, then down that stream via Rome, into the Coosa and down the Coosa to Will’s creek, thence up> that creek and connecting it by a canal with the i Tennessee, near Clayvillo or Fort Deposit, and by river and canal to Huntsville. The distance by this route would probably he two hundred and (illy miles between Huntsville and Petersburg!!, and at four miles an hour, Would be pci formed in two and a half days. Or say from Huntsville to Athens, two hundred miles, and thence by r ailroad, or by canal and river ninety miles, and the whole trip from Huntsville to Augusta may bo done in three days with the greatest ease. It is to be icrnerftbered that ten miles an hour has been attained on some of the British canals with packet boats, which speed, if adopted in this in stance, would concentrate a great many western passengers to Athens, and of course to Augusta. By inspecting the maps of this stale, it will bo observed that this route presents itself very natu rally, affords abundance of water, and avoids the; principle heights of the Blue Ridge, and renders a tunnel necessary only at the juncture of Will’s creek with the Tennessee. The clearing of the rivers connected with tins route can not bo easily estimated, but fur the locks, aqueducts, &c., the expense may he considered equalised to about $ 10,000 per mile; and wo thus sec that this grand enterprise can bo accomplished at the cost of about ?'3,600,000, which is loss than one half the cost of the con templated Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad, with all the advantages, and more (ban can pos sibly ho afforded by (hair enterprise, permanently secured to Georgia. The boats of the Missouri, the Mississippi, the "vV abash, as well as those of Vic Ohio, may float proudly upon the waters in the valley of the Savannah. This is a 'hasty sketch. Georgia lias other siurces of greatness, lint let every Georgian finish the picture, and his own bosom must throb with the exulting consciousness that his own slate, that his own city of Augusta, must con clude this great enterprise, and thus contribute to the happiness and welfare of millions inhabiting the West.

Miinor Roberts, , Esq. will in a short lime commence a survey of, the river Monongahela, for the purpose of making | a slack-water navigation for steamboats from | Pittsburg to the Virginia line. A few days since the troops from the post at Dcadrnan’s Bay, and others under command of Capls. Livingston, •Smith, Rowell, and Newsutn, made a thorough scout of the country south of the settlements, all going and returning by dlfli-r -ent routs. The result of this scoot was the cap ture of fhVce or four ponies and the sight of two or three Indians. Very Few Indian signs were discovered, and it is believed that (be foe has reti red from the neighborhood to the cast of the Su wannee. The sickness at the post at the iiay, and tho probability of no enemy, lias induced Major Dearborn to retire to more favorable quar ters. —Floridian of July 7. BnnTAi. Odtiiaoe. —We learn that on Sunday evening last, while Mr. Dunn was pissing from Lexington, Oglethorpe county, to his residence, a distance of some three or four miles, iie was taken from his horse and most brutally murder ed, by some fiends in human shape. When the corpse was found, shortly after the outrage, his head was nearly severed from his body , and on examination it was discovered he had received twenty-six wounds with a knife or dirk, besides f a severe confusion on the hack of tho head. The - perpetrators of this horrid act have not yet been discovered, but we loam that suspicion rests up on two runaway slaves, who had been charged y by Mr D with some small theft fo r which they g had been chastised either by Mi D ot their own o pj,— irhtg. t [From the Richmond IV'/uVJ To Henry Clay, lisq.—UiitW v< ‘ ir.—ln the history of our limo, llio philoso , plural enquirer will lliul no chaplet more worthy 3 to engage his protoimdcst rolleelions, than that . sllrtll ‘ell of the wars of the Government on the Dunks, anil on the prosperity of thocuun tty. In it, a conspicuous place will ho assigned to tho view ot the plana ami purposes of the pro . dominant faction, lately exhibited l.y you in the , Senate of (ho United States. Whether what has been done, resulted from the mere wanton ness of power, or from a gratuitous love of mis ! chief, and unforced choice of evil, or from a deep j design against the liberties of tho people, may ho . hard to decide? More than once, a voice hasis . SUL ’‘I f fom ‘l>*> throne, commanding us to put our trust in the Most High, and inviting us to call on him in all our troubles. In the disregard of this I was the sin and doom of Nullification. In the disregard ol this, was the condemnation of tho act renewing the charier of the Dank. Itul though wo thus justly incurred tho displeasure of our ru lers, it can hardly he supposed (hat the Governs incut meant not only to distress the people, hut also to embarrass jjitcll. That they meant that the Pet bank System should fail, cannot he doubt ed.— Why else did they force it to work, first a plethora, and (hen a collapse? but can wo any more doubt lain tmkv meant to keep out of the vortex that was to swallow all besides? Had they done this, and had they succeeded in defea ting the Uepositc bill, eau we fail to see that the Administration, with fifty millions of hard mo ney, would have been master of the subsistence and life of every individual of a beggared com. raunity’!—l lieu would have been lib. Van Hu reri’a (into for a Sub Treasury to garner up his gains. What would Mr. Calhoun have said to it then? And what would Mr, Van Huron have cared what he said? Who would have disputed his will? I maintain, and I said so from the first, that, in discrediting tho banks and ruining t c | country, ho accomplished no more than he aimed at. His disappointment was in not getting hold ol tho money. Give him that again, or give him such a stun in specie, as a return of prosperity will presently bring into the Treasury, and then give him a place to keep it, and “Richard's him self again!” Can we believe that Mr. Calhoun docs not sec this? Shall he ho allowed so far to disable his own judgment, as to have us think him honest, when ho ptclends not to sec what is obvious to every eye? but the President is to be rendered powerless (o all purposes of mischief, by the weight of his golden fetters! What (hen? Will not any body cut them off lor the filings? If the plan does not suit him, will he not have it changed? If public opinion be ever so much in favor of it, cannot he buy it up? Or, if that be 1 too cosily, cannot ho make the scheme work its own destruction, by making its operation oppress 1 sivc and odious? To an interprcUilion of the conduct of our rtt I lers, which imputes to them such monstrous . wickedness, mild charily suggests that “few arc all evil. ’ bu it so, but it there be any such, shall we not seek them among those, the history of whose lives hoars record of no single virtue! And does tho scheme argue a depth of design and reach of thought, nut to ho expected from, such men? This is true, but Pharoah found a Joseph, who instructed him, with tho aid of alter nalo seasons of abundance and distress, to buy his. people's birthright with tho fruit of their own labor. but though we may bo unable as yet to draw out the chain ol cause anti consequence in all ils length, a part, at least, is before it--. None will ever doubt that, not satisfied with (he advantages of an alltunce with tho moneyed interest, secu red, by a connexion between the Government and (he acting head of that interest, the despotic tem pnr of our Into ruler would lie content with no-' thing short of the absolute hiilmervienry of his ally to his sovereign will and pleasure. Hailing in litis, a war of conquest was commenced, for the purpose of making the Government itself the head of the monetary system of the United Stales. Tiie last struggle of this contest is now t going on—ami the desperate pertinacity with I which it is urged shows plainly the object of the 1 assailants. In vain do Mr. Calhoun and his myrmidons pretend to support the leading men- - sine of the Government, us a means of restrain ing the power and curtailing the patronage, and limiting the iul'uicucc of the Executive. How it is to produce this c/dect, though often urged, lie has never condescended to explain. We were required to believe it on his Imre word, while il was obvious that, among the advocates and op, punonls of the measure in the Senate, not one beside himself discovered in it any such tenden cy. We were required to believe that Mr. Van buren, suddenly tired of responsibility, and wea ry of the exorcise of his own sovereign will and pleasure, was eagerly stretching forth his hands to Congress, and entreating them to put matin.-' cles upon him; and that, yon, sir, and your saga cious friends, out of mere perverseness, were un willing to do him the lavor. Per not believing this, we are denounced ns wilfully and corruptly blind—as Federalists, (I, it seem , am a Federal ist in disguise)—as the hired tools of bunks— and this denunciation waxes louder as its absur dity becomes more glaring.—At this moment, a calculation is making of all the available force of the parly, and they ate suddenly animated and cheered by the hope that tho accidental absence of two or three members of the opposition, may enable them to carry this measure through the House of Representatives by the casting vote of the Speaker! And to what purpose? Is it not known that, of this accidental majority, there will he many misrepresenting their constituents; and that in another Congress, there must he a majori ty, who, if true to those who send them there, will oppose the measure? What then? .Shall 1 Mr. Van buren, who, now wielding the power of his office in all its vitioint, his wthosauk as YET USLIMITEB, Ills INFLUENCE AS VET llNilE sthaineii, and aid al by the mercenary trained hands ol his predecessor, depends on the acciden tal absence of members to smuggle the hill through Congress—shall ho, when ael these advantages are taken away,have any hope to prevent its prompt repeal? Are we children, to be deceived by a pretence so shallow! Ate we to believe in tins marvellous eagerness to nttEAK into gaoe, without suspecting, that, so soon as ho succeeds in his purpose, he will turn this gilded bastile into a fortress, and man its walls with mercenaries, and hang out the banner of defiance to tho people’s will? What other calculation can he make! How can he hope to secure his system from demolition, hut by tiro means of corruption which it will again place in his hands? And are we to shut our eyes to this, at thn bidding of one, who, at first, assured the world, that to him, Mr. Van buren and all his corrupt crew were still objects of unmitigated scorn and abhorrence; and who almost lamented, that he was put to the alternative of renouncing his own favourite measure, or entrusting ils exe cution to men, in whom he had no me rum ot confidence 1 Hut what was Mr. Calhoun’s con duct, when certain understrappers of the parly, who had not made themselves 100 conspicuous in the drama, moved to strike out the only clause in the bill which had engaged his support? Hid ho denounce them as traitor- to their principles and I party! O no! He reserve* such denunciations (hr us. Hid he exclaim against the treachery of the party itself, and expo... the trick they had put upon him 1 Did he ecu rxpestuU*.. with them, “"‘I Pfumonisl, them that the success of the aaiondmcnt would drive him Irani their ranks? i 0 slr- L “ suffered them to do their work; and then, i imii vu tiik iull won 1.0 cash without him. with an amusing pniado ol philosophical calmness, assigned tlie reasons why lie must vote against it. Hero then the campaign ended, ami eur political Major Dalgctly was free, by the very terms ot his enlistment, to quit the camp. Did lie ilo so! What measure, what man of the par ly has failed of his support from that day to this? IhU it was not of these things 1 meant to spunk. It is not on these that the historian will bestow moro than that passing notice, which consigns to infamy the Wentworths and Pulfcnoys, who devote to the service of tyrants the powers which God hud given io'r the use of mankind. lint, in the history of the war of numbers, headed by Executive power, their natural lea der, and property headed by the Bank of the United Slates, posterity will rend a lesson of deep wisdom. May not we profit by it, too! We arc 100 near the time and scene of action to see clearly the connexion ol events with each other, and with their causes. But some thing we can see, and that something it be comes ns to study and apply. In such war fare, the landed interest is the .Ajax Telamon ot property. Resolute and strong tor defence it “screens with a mighty shade” nil who lake shelter behind its seven (old shield; hut slug gish and inert, its ponderous blows are easily eluded. The enemy may indeed vainly waste his strength on its unwieldy mass, but, deficient in vigilance anil activity, it gives him no fear of being attacked in return, it is the moneyed interest, alert, jealous, insatiable and keen, the swift footed Achilles. "Imjiiger iracundut inexorabiltg acer.”. To this belongs the duty ot assault; to watch the movements of the enemy; to anti, cipatc his blows, and, in his hours of repose and fancied security, to break into Ins camp and scatter his forces. Statesmen have long been aware of this difference. Hence the as piring usurper, when he would excite the mul- I it tide hy the promise ol plunder, rarely seeks to disturb the natural loyally of the tenant to his landlord, or of the prodigal labourer to bis employer, lie tells them of the moneybags of the great capitalist, and invites them to un eurlli (lie secret hoards of the usurer. Espe cially lie provokes them to rugo against that system ol credit which so much increases the activity and energy of wealth,and hy which,in case ot nced.il can lake the wings oflhe mor ning, and hide itself iii the uttermost parts of the earth,” from the rapacity alike of the ty ■ runt and the rabble. With this interest, it is, that, in modern timer the great battle of free dom is always fought. That sagacious and corrupt. Statesman, Sir Robert (in all hut his ability, the prototype ol our present rulers,) well knew the prowess of ibis cham pion of the rights of property: “The coun try gentlemen,” said lie, “good easy souls I conic tip to he shorn, and lie as quietly as lambs while their llcoccs are taken oil', But touch ouo tinstnl of the mercantile interest, and instantly the whole stye is in an uproar. U is shearing a hog. Great cry and little wool I" 1 am aware, sir, that it it: thought to he in had taste to speak favourably of u jealousy of the rights of properly. The feeling is ton in terested and selfish lor Ibis liberal and patri otic ago and country. But let us bo careful not to scan too closely the motives of the in dividual man in the struggle of freedom against power, and properly against numbers. By doing so, in other cases, we might ho of ten templed to tear tlie hi,arable from Iho Ilo re’s brow, and to strip the consecrating Ivy from Iho tomb of him who died lighting in his country's cause. In this mixed mass of good and evil, we must lake things us we find ifietn. The passions of the hum in henit are the in struments with which the snitesiiiun must work out bin great designs, In those, are the springs of action—the motive power, which it is his business to direct and regulate: and among these, throe is none of such enduring energy, and so capable ol being applied to nil good purposes, as Iho desire of gam, contin ually stimulated by Iho habitual exercise of gainful occupation. We may decry it ns wc will, as ii shows itself in the conduct of indi viduals; but in great masses, and under pro - per regulation; it lias achieved more for right and liberty, than every other passion oflhe human heart. It. is to a knowledge ofthis truth, that, the champions of Liberty, in ling land, owe their success, in breaking up the strong holds of feudal tyranny, in reducing the power of barons and kings, and in estab lishing the re'gn of law and order, and equal right. This is, at tin:; day, the great censor va'ivo princip'c of British freedom; and its beneficial action is only In ho secured and perpetuated by keeping the power of the mo neyed interest, ever in an antagonist position to Executive authority. “Here it is,” says Mr. Uurkc, “that the people of England have learned to feel the pulse of liberty, and, as they find llmtbeat, they think themselves sick or sound.” Thinking thus, could I he in favor rtf the union of Rank and State ? Far from it. Hence, and hence only, have 1 always regar ded a. Rank oflhe United Slates, as a forimd* able weapon in Iho hands ol the Federal Go vernment. Nor did fso much dread it for it self, us because it was forged froth the very shield, which the wisdom ol our English An cestors had put inlo onr hands, ns our best de fence against usurpation and oppression. Wise by their leaching, wo used it with ef fect, against the aggressions of the Rrtish G over i mien I; but when that struggle was over, wo flung it, from us, fondly imagining that the paper defences of a written Gonstuulioii would supply its place. ()f this inconsiderate rashness we arc now paying the penally. No, sir! No man is farther than I, from de sning the connection of Rank and State. The union of Church and Stale was, in its day, not more pernicious. Each was alike the do, vice of power to league itself with the master passion of the age—fanaticism or avarice— the worship of Saints and Images, or the worship of Mammon. But what was gained to freedom ol conscience, when the Tyrant Rigot Henry VIM. abjuring the Pope, pro. claimed Himself the Head ot the Church, and Defender oflhe Faith ?
