At a public meeting in Columbia County, on Tuesday the 2d insl., the following gentlemen wore appointed Delegatus to the Commercial Convention which is to assemble a! this place on the third Monday in ibis month, viz ; C. 11. Shockly, James F. Hamilton, Robert Beallc, and Edward Ballard Esq. The Editors t>f'Newspapers in Milb-dge-j vide, Macon and Columbus are either the laziest 1 or ibu most unaccommodatit g set of Editors upon die face of the earth. They have not for -1 warded to us lho Ejection Returns of a.- ingle 1 county by Express Mail, except Baldwin and l Bibb. Wo say this in all kindness, hut we must confess that it looks very selll-h, ami hope they will mend their ways. Instead of 20 counties, ■ wo ought to be able to give the returns from SO in our paper to-day, if the Editors in those places I had been prompt in sending the returns from the counties in their neighborhoods as fast as they | i might have done. We have kept our columns I open every night until the arrival of the Expre.-s , Mail, in the hope of getting something, hut have ' thus far been disappointed. We copy from the Standard of Union of Tues day last, the following remarks, on the questions likely to be agitated, during the approaching ses sion of the Legislature. To that part of the article in which the desire j is expressed to tee the Stale borrow the money' and complete us soon as possible the groat Kail Koad which is lo connect us with the Tennessee River, we yield our hearty and cheerful concurrence and approbation. We look Howard with deep and tliiilliug anxiety lo the petiod when the valley of that noble stream shall bo brought within less than two day’s travel of Augusta—when the citizens of that patriotic S ate shall become the constant visitors lo our market, supplying us with her flour, her bacon, her corn ami the various other productions of her fertile lauds, and receiving in exchange the merchandize of our commercial cities. We say, lei the State go ahead with unabated and utirciniltcd zeal, and pcTsuvctence in this great work, valuable as it is to her citizens beyond all other works. On the subject of granting tho credit of the slate to Kail Koad Companies, to which the Stand aid expresses its decided opposition, we shall cs pre-s at this time, no opinion, as it is a subject which wo have not examined. Wo arc wilting to hoar and see it discussed with an eye solely to the public good, and then decide according lo the convictions of eur judgement. On the subject of banking, wo too believe that something should be done, hut wo are not yet prepared lo say what. We have our doubts about the New Yotk Banking system. I, is certainly one by which the ultimate security of the hill holder ia doubly fortilied, but we cannot see how it can be a constant specie-paying system, while the banks ate al owed to issue seven dollars of paper for one of metal. Wo are thoroughly satisfi ed however that if Georgia is in earnest in regard to the importing business, she must increase her t banking capital very considerably, and as the time for the meeting of the Convention at this place is approaching wo propose, between now and that dine to give our views of tho whole mat ter more at large. We have copied tho whole of the remarks of the -Standard without expressing our agreement or disagreement lo its positions, but because it shows a disposition on the part of that press lo i*i, into tho consideration of those great questions in which the s ale and the | oople are so deeply interested, with a desire to di-cuss them calmly, dispassionately and freely with an eye single to the public govd, and unconnected with party polities. Wo trust that such may be Iho spitit and feeling of the Legislature, and that throwing aside ail [jetty considerations, the-e questions may ho ap proached and decided in that manner which may best advance the honor and interests oi Georgia. ft on the Slimdatd of Union, Tho election past, the eye ot the public must shortly bgturned to the legislature and the inea -ures which the lepiesentalivcs oi the people, may. in ilu-ir wisdom, adopt. The subject of internal improvements being one of vast magnitude, it may boexpoelbd lo m gross much of their time and attention. Tho State is now in the active prosecution of an im portant wink, which we hope not only lo see completed in, comparaivcly, a very short lime, hut which, wo trust, she will still further extend m an Eastward direction, with all possible dess patch. We desire to see, ami see it quickly, a direct Kail Koad route from the Atlantic to the Tennessee river, and a- much of. that line owned hy the Stale, as may be practicable, for the ac complishment of this gland object, let the State use for credit —let her borrow tho money and execute the work at once. To private enterprize, let her afford every fa cility consistent with the Constitution and the rights of the citizen, hut let these boundaries ne ver ho overstepped; but against the u-c of the Stale’s credit by individuals or corporations, for private emolument, we do now, as ws have done before, enter our most solemn protest. We be lieve, however, the public mind is so well settled upon the suljcct, that it will henceforth be con siilercd a reckless act In bring 11-e subject again before the Legislature—such is the general opin ion of its partiality and injustice Upon the subject of Banks and Banking, there lis a wide held for action. The disas ers of the lust eighteen months, coupled with the tact, that a National B ink will not again be incorporated, should ad nonisli the Stales lo set about a thor ough reformation in the system of Banking, by which the peop'c should bo secured against the circulation of irredeemable and depreciated pain t, and by which, the value of property, and the price of labor, will become more uniform and stable.— T' e effect already produced upon exchange-, is evidence conclusive, that a well regulated -ystom of banking, under the exclusive control of the Sla'e Legislatures, will afford tire mos ample se. curdy for cheap exchanges and a sound currency. Tho system of f;ce bonking, as it is cubed, which inis been a 'op cd by the S ale of New York, with a few modifications, strikes ns as very far [irefei-able to any other which has ever been sug ges ed, and will, we trust, bo token into very seri ous consideration by the Legislature, and. it adopt ed, cannot, in our judgement, fail to produce an auspicious era in the monetary afi'aits of our country. In the case of John B Henderson, who had I been arraigned before tho criminal court of Washington, for forging Troasuty Notes of the United S ales, —a notice of which has been here lofore published,— 'he Court ovi rrulcd all the oh. jcctioris of his legal counsel and sustained the in dictment. Tho prisoner was then f-iutid guilty I and sentenced to pay a fine of filly dollars, and to suffer lon } ear’s imprisonment at hart! lafmr in the Penitentiary. /■' r the Chronicle t!j" Svntinc', Kail Itj.a.l acting. In pursuance of a call hy the standing Com mittee, appoint-’d at a previous meeting, llio (iti zi’iis met on the 2d Jay ol October, at the Court House, in Wnynesboio, when Col. Augustus 11. Anderson was called to tbe Chair, and Joseph \- Shewniake appointed Secretary. Major M. Marsh, of the standing ooniniillee, inaJc the following Report, which was nnatii mously udop cd. The standing committee appointed to carry ; into effect the Hesoiu ions of the citizens of Burku and n.ehmond counties, relative to the construe, j lion of a Hail Road front Augusta, via Wayncs- I hero, to intersect the Central Hail Hoad at some poiftl in Butko county, adopted on tho G.h of August, ultimo, hog leave tit Report, That they immediately entered upon the dis j charge of the duties assigned them, hy o. eating n j correspondence with the Central Kail Hoad ami j Hanking Corn) any, Georgia Rail Rond anil Bank- I ing Company, and tlie City Council of Savannah, and nlliets likely to take mi interest in the cnlerprize, and they are happy to say tit it they have met with warm support. from the Mayor of llte city of Savannah, they receive 1 an answer hum which they give die following extract : “ Your favor of the l it it hist. (August) is Ire. fore mo. It will afford me pleasure to lay it before tlie Hoard of Aldermen at ih.'tr next scs-ion.— The project of a I fail Hoad Imm some point on the Cen ral Kail Rond to Waynesboro, and thence to Angus a, is one that cornmenas itself to tho judgement of all interested in the improvement of our fella e, and I am sure will have the warmest wishes of me citizens of this ehy. The immense debt Savannah has recently incurred for die pur pose of forwarding the works of Internal Im provement, may cripple her energies in extending pecuniary aid to the project, hut rest assured, that the citizens must feel deeply for the success of so praiseworthy an enterp ize.” Tlie correspondence with tlio Central Rail Hoad and Hanking Company, had for its object not only the enlistment of its aid, hut to ascertain as far as prac.icahie, tho terms on which tiro two Roads could he united; and aithougii the com notice were fudy aware that no definite terms could ho agreed upon at this stage of the enter prize, yet they deemed it ail important to know the views of the Hoard of Directors of said Company in relation to this matter. Upon lids point, the President- of the Company, on the 2()ih August, ultimo, says! —"On die subject of the union of the two Roads, and the manner of con ducting the business, it may not bo possible now to settle the terms definitively, but each will lie so much interested in the other, that wo may look with confidence for harmony of action,— Either we will receive and return your passenger and freight eais at tlie point of junction, tliarg ing for llie distance on our Hoad, or soldo on other terms, mutually advaniaguuus to both.” This reply tho committee think satisfactory at this lime. The Centra! Rail Road and Banking Com. tiany, and tho Georgia Rail Road and Hanking Company, with n degree of liberally that meiiis the thanks of the friends of die enterprize, have each promptly come forward to tho aid of die committee, to make die preliminary survey of die route I ho Central Rail Hoad and Hanking Corona, ny will furnish a party of Engineers free of sdary—and the Geotgia Rail Road and Hanking Company will famish an Engineer also, free, of sa'nry, to make die survey—tlie committee have accepted these libel til oilers, and I rust that they will have tho survey executed in time to lay the report of the Engineers before tho Legislature and llte public by the 30ih November next. In addition to the aid famished hy the two Rail Hoad and Hanking Companies, chain carriers, axemen and cooks will lie wanted—these ate to bo provided by the committee, the expense of which, and the food, provender, &c. of the par ti , during the survey, will constitute the whole expense, which as near as tho committee can estimate, will lie about fit".cen hundred dollars. Thu foregoing is a statement of the actings of the committee, which they hope will meet the approbation of their follow citizens. When i! is considered that the proposed road will form a grand connecting link in a chain of flail 11 oath from ihc far West to the Atlantic Ocean, the committee believe that it will not only meet the warm support of every patriotic Georgian, but of ; every one itricrested in the direct trade of the | south and south west. Tlie committee beg leave to offer the following Resolutions. Ist. That a committee of Eleven be appointed to receive the subscriptions.of such individuals ' as may feel disposed to aid in effecting » prelum | tmiy survey. That the sa ; d committee lie re. ; quested to proceed forihvvi it in tho discharge of j lids duly, and so soon as completed, to handover ; the amounts to tho standing committee. 2d. li cached.

To Parents. The right education of your children is dearer to you than any earthly ohjecl ; for a good oiur cu'ioii is a young n-uni’s besi CO pi t 11. To educate your children well, is io give them a fair start in die world—it is to give them un equal chance for the privileges and honors of manhood. Let, to keep them from school the most of the li.no —to furnish them with a miserable, useless teacher —lodcity them the necessary and die most approved school hooks—to he unwilling to spend a little lo procure papers and hooks for general inf a malion and reading—to do these tilings, or cither one of these, is lo do your children an in calculable injury.

You wish your offspring inspect ed and influential morality and intellect are al ways respected, and those qualities are always in fluential 100. You do not wish oilnrs lo trample upon the rights of your children—you do not wish others to lead them, to think for tl ein, or io make ihem more tools tor ambitious ends. Then give them an education—a mind, ihal’ihcy may know and keep their tights—dial they may make lor themselves, and have the privileges ot freemen. 1 n’orancu is always the vassal, l! c slave of intelligence. The educated man always has had, and always will have, the, advanlag ol ignorance; and if you lei your children grow up uneducated, you let them grow up to ho the tools mil trio slaves of ot hors, Y,,u cannot do your children a grea’or h jury limn to let them step in to manhood enedu a oil; and in no oilier way can you do llio-c tiro ins ilnlions n greater evil.
