We have suggested to our Charleston neigh bors, before they attempt their magnificent project of taking cotton trout the very doors ol New Or leans and Mobile, that they had better first make arrangements to get the cotton raised the valley of the Savannah river. 13y recurring to the monthly shipments ol cotton Irom Augusta and Hamburg, from Ist October 1838, to Ist May 1839, we find them to he as follows: To Savannah 117,597 bags. To Charlestpn by boats, 3589 hags. « « “ R.R. 11036 “ 14,625 “ Balance in favor of Savannah 102,972 “ It may be true that a larger p oportion of the proceeds arising from the first sales of this cotton j in this market, finds its way to Charleston for in vestment in goods, than ol the cotton itselr, ow ing to the inertness of Savannah, whose people, vve are so. ry to say. with some exceptions, are wanting in energy, enterprise and perseveram e. But Charleston still cannot be said either directly or indirectly to command to a very great extent, the eolton of Georgia w hich seeks a market here, nor can she ever command it entirely as she anti cipates. It is equally reasonable to suppose that if the cotton of Alabama, ever seeks an outlet upon the Atlantic, that Charleston will be no more able to command it than she does that of || Georgia. p. s. Since the above was written, the Charleston Mercury of yesterday morning has come to hand, containing a well tempered artu e in relation to the project of concentrating the cot ton of Western Georgia and Eastern Alabama upon the Atlantic coast of Georgia and South Carolina. It is divested of much of that mag niloquent rhodomontade which made Charleston to engross every hag of Cotton raised on this side of the Black Warrior—and speaks in a modified proper tone of other places. We shall copy it to-morrow with pleasure. We have alluded before, to the sisterly affec tion o ’the City of Augusta towards the institu tions and prosperity ol Macon. 1 h;s has exci ted Hie ire of the « hronicle & Sentinel, which dentes the facts we have stated, and calls for proof. We refer it to the course of the banks ol that city towards the institutions of this. If there is not in that city a settled jealousy of, and hostility towards the growing prosperity of Macon, why their persevering efforts to prostrate our credit, cripple our energies, and thwart our enterprise ! Wliy do thev continue to discredit the bills ol the Monroe Rail Road Bank, and throw out in sinu itions against the hills of our other Banks! Wu.n grounds have they for it! It the Editor of the Chronicle & Sentinel wants further proof, we refer him to every respectable Lawyer and Merchant in the up-country. Whether the individuals who circulated the false reports are respectable or not, is not material, so far as relates to the mischief done.— Macon TJegraph. Well, the Editor of the Telegraph has gotten himself out of the scrape, much belter than we had any idea he could, llecha ged that letter writers and Bank agents, from Augusta, had circulated rumors throughout Georgia, Alabama, &c. that all the banks in Macon were broke. We denied j the charge, called for names and proofs. The Editor very gravely refers us to all the lawyers and merchants in the up-country ! Instead of producing his proof, he tells us we ran find it 1 y a peregrination throughout the country and appli cation to lawyers and merchants! We give it up —we are outgeneralled and discomfited, and kno k under. The Telegraph hears off_thc palm of victory, and we must quiet ourselves under defeat in the best manner we can. (jj=-Those of our readers who have any idea of visiting the up country, (and we hope they an many) are referred to the adve Useinent of Mr. John Jackson, of Athens, who it will he seen has opened a new Hotel in that place, to bcconnected with the Helicon Springs, a pleasant and fa.h imable retreat w II known to all visitors to uppn Georgia. Mr. Jackson has long experience am jll means, perseverance and accommodation— and we can venture to assert that those who palron’ze him will not be permitted to go aw.-.y hungered or thirsty, while there is a pig or u tu.k y railed in the backwoods, or a bottle o wine to be found on this s.dc of the Atlantic. The foilowing gentlemen were yesterday ap pointed Delegates to the State Rights Convention J from Richmond county, to be held in MilUdge ville on Monday next, to nominate a candidate so: Governor, viz : Charles J. Jenkins. Henry Mealing, Thomas W. Miller, and James T. Gray. In our paper to-day will be found a number of extracts from the militia laws of the State, pub lished by order of Major Wilson, for the informa t ion of those who are subject to militia duty. Wiikvt Crop— The Albany Daily Adverti ser says : • Such accounts as we have seen from the west, and from Pennsylvania, speaks of tin appearance of the coming wheat crop, as very fa vorable. That the season, upon the whole, has not lieen unfavorable to agriculture, and that the prospects, thus far, arc as good as usual.—Every l>odv is glad to hear such news. HANK REPORTS.
