Our Northern and Western exchange papers

one of the Editors is absent and the other just
out of a spell of sickness and unable to devote

jjp I The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette states that an
has just been completed between the
Post master General and the Georgia Railroad
tnd Banking Company, by which the mail from
New York to New Orleans will occupy only nine
days in its transit between the two cities. The
arrangement is to go into effect on the Ist of July.
Travellers can go from York to New Orleans
jn nine days, without unusual fatigue, and with
only 29t) miles of staging, viz: 70 miles in North

The Jetty or Breakwater in the River
opposite the Central Wharf.
By publishing, at the request of some, and for
the information of all interested, the following
statements and certificates, having reference to
the above work, yon will confer a favor on
, Mant Citizens.
The Central Wharf was built in the summer
of 1835 and 1836, and its proprietors were aflcr
-•Wards incorporated by the Legislature of Geor
gia. Its situation is central, as its name implies,
•nd of course, convenient to a large number of
our merchants and shippers, but the depth of wa
ter in front of it was too shallow for use in low
river. To remedy this evil, the proprietors, after
consultation with practical men, one of them at
•least, a good engineer, concluded to have built
two Jetties, one on a sand bank opposite the low
er end of the Wharf, and the other at a suitable
point on the same sand bank above it, both cal
culated to concentrate the current of the Georgia
side of the river in a channel along the Wharves,
and designedly made low, to prevent its doing
injury to the river bank. They did not ask the
consent of the City Council, because it is not usual
to ask the consent of that honorable body to works
of improvement even within their acknowledged
jurisdiction, such ns filling up ponds or bottoms or
making new drains, when the city is not called
on to defray any part of the expense; and be
cause, although the City Council have by the
charter, the power to make regulations respecting
the harbor, their jurisdiction extends no farther
than to the Savannah River. Besides, they con
sidered that the City Council was bound by the
most solemn obligation to “support, advance,
protect, and defend, to the utmost of their
power,” alt improvements made by any of those
over whom they exercise jurisdiction ; and if the
work in qrtestion had, contrary to their sanguine
expectations, proved to be an injury and not an
improvement, they would have felt thcmselvca
legally as well as morally bound to remove it,
■with the least possible delay.
The first Jetty was begun in April, 1838, but
Was not quite finished on the 1 Oth of the next
month of that year, and the second was not be
gun, when at the instance of some of the mem
bers of Council from the lower part of the city,
the farther progress of the work was suspended,
till time might show its effect.
In July, 1838, that honorable body passed their
well known ordinance, claiming not only the
right of preventing Jetties from being made in the
river without their permission in future, but also
that of destroying, in certain cases, and at the
expense of the person placing it there, any Jetty
already existing.
On the Gilt of August following, an investiga
tion respecting the Jetty in question, was had
before the Council, when several highly respec
table witnesses wore examined on oath. On that
occasion the three agents of the three Steamboat
Companies on this river, testified that the’work
_had deepened the channel to the Centra! Wharf,
and had done no injury to the channel or wharves
any where, and in their opinion never would do
any. This was also the substance of the testi
mony of several others acquainted with lh»
navigation of the river. One witness only staled
that he believed it would do serious injury to the
channel and wharves below, but even he stated
that he might be in error; no one testified that
the work had then done any injury. The most
unfavorable testimony was the expression of the
opinion that it might do injury in future.
The City Council, however, after hearing the
above testimony, refused to give fariher time to
show the effect of the work, hut ordered its re
moval at the expense of one of the Stockholders
of the Central and Western Wharf Company,
who had occasionally assisted the wharfinger in
•uperintending its conduction.
The Wharf Company then applied to his ■
honor Judge Shly, for an injunction tostay these
proceedings, which was granted until argument
could be heard, and after the ease was argued,
his honor, after taking time for deliberation, on
the 28lh of November, 1838, dissolved the in
junction, but at the same time recommended 'to
the City Council the suspension of the execution
of their ordinance until farther time shall, with
certainty, prove to them whether this Breakwater
be an injury or a benefit, and then act according
to the result produced by experience, which will
more fully satisfy all the parlies concerned.”—
Whether owing to this recommendation or to
the cold weather, and occasional swells in the
river, which soon after ensued, and which would
have rendered the destruction of the Jetty dilfl
cult; certain it is that the City Council passed
no order respecting it till their meeting in May,
1839, when their attention was called to the sub
ject by one of the members from W ard No. 4, who
laid before them the following certificates, and
introduced a resolution carrying into effect the
recommendation of his honor Judge Shly, which
resolution would have been carried by a vote of
five to four, if his honor the Mayor had not voted
to make a tie, by which means the resolution was
lost. A resolution was, however, offered by Al
derman Thompson, and passed at the same meet
ing, suspending the execution of their order of
the 6th of August, during the pleasure of Coun
cil.
Certificate of Win. M. Rowland , Esq., Agent
at Augusta, of the Iron Steamboat Company.
I certify that the Jetty in the river has deep
ened the channel to the Central Wharf, and has
not done any injury to the river bank, wharves,
/ or channel any where else as far as I can discover,
nor do I think it will ever be a detriment to any
part of the river.
Signed WM. M. ROWLAND.
Augusta, April 29, 1839.
■
Certificate of Capt. Edward Campfield,
Agent at Augusta, of the Steamboat Company
of Georgia, and of Mr, Samuel Campbell,
Wharf Clerk of the Savannah and Augusta
Steamboat Company.
The undersigned having been requested to ex
press their opinion of the effect of the Jetty which
was placed on the sand bar in the river opposite
tho Central Wharf, in April, 1838, have no hes
itation in stating that it has very materially im
proved the navigation of the river opposite the
city. It has caused no injury to the river bank
or to the wharves. The undersigned believe its
effect will be to deepen the channel still more at
places where it is still too shallow, in low river.
Signed EDWARD CAMPFIELD,
SAMUEL CAMPBELL.
April 30, 1838.
Certificate of G. Walker, Esq., Agent at Au
gusta, of the Savannah and Augusta Steam
boat Company.
The undersigned having been called on to ex
press his opinion of the effect of the Jetty which
is placed in the river opposite the Central Wharf,
has no hesitation in saying that it has very mate
rially improved the channel of the river from the
lower Wharf to the Cctnral, and it has caused no
injury to the river bank, or to the wharves be
low, and believes it will still improvs the chan
nel, if it is allowed to remain. It may cause a
sandbar in the middle of the river which will, as
a matter of course, deepen the river on both sides.
Signed 6. WALKER.
Augusta, Aptil 30, 1839.
On the Ist of June, 1839, the following reso
lution was introduced by Alderman Warren, and
passed by the City Council.
Resolved, That his honor the Mayor, be re
quested to have removed a certain obstacle in the
Savannah river, opposite the city, called a Jetty
or Breakwater. Those in favor this resolution
were Warren, Parish, Dye, Thomps m, and St.
John, those opposed to it were Harper, Hitt,
Nelson, and Rankin. Messrs. Bishop, Bush,
and Crump, were absent.
On the same day, shortly before the adjourn
ment,a resolution was offered suspending the ex
ecution of the above order till the next regular
meeting, that lime might be given to bear testimo
ny respecting the Jetty, which was lost by the
easting vote of the Mayor. Thom in favor of
this last resolution were Harper, Hitt, Nelson,
and Rankin, those opposed to it were Warren,
Dye, Parish, Thompson,and the Mayor. Messrs.
St. John, Crump. Bush, and Bishop, being al
sen:.
So the resolution was lost.
T bus the matter rests for the present. Com
ment is deemed unnecessary.
Mr. William C. Keen, one of Mr. Kondiii’s
“underlings,” late postmaster at Printer’s Re
treat, (la.) h*« been sentenced by the U. 8. Dis
irict Court, to ten years penitentiary confinement
for purloining money from the mail. An unsuc
cessful effort was made by his council to procure*
a new trial.
From the N. V. Courier If Enquirer.
The Seminole Peace-and a War upon the
Treasury.
'I he close of the Seminole hostilities by a parch
ment pacification is again sent abroad by the War
Department, to amuse the people of the country ;
to give the Indians an opportunity to plant and
reap, and to recruit their strength; and to enable
government contractors to throw in such an
amount of supplies as will answer their purpose
for another twelve month. This happy termina
tion, for the fifteenth lime, of a disastrous and dis
graceful war, offers a fit occasion for reviewing a
few of its incidents. A Marker chapter of fraud
and profligacy never stained the annals of an
administration.
Mr. Van Bchkn inherited the Florida war as
a legacy from his illustrious predecessor. It had
been literally an Executive war, commenced and
carried on by President Jackson, without commu
nicating any special account of its rise or progress
to Congress, or demanding any further aid in the
premises than a mere footing of the bills. The
Treasury was full—the administration was flush
—and Mr. Benton was taxing the ingenuity of
his friends to devise ways ami means to “ged rid
of the surplus.” Congress thought they might
as well vote money fora Florida war as any thing
else; and continued voting million after million,
till it appeared evident that the more money they
voted the more they might vote, ami the farther
olf from its termination was the Florida war.
It was in this state of things that the extra ses
sion of Congress was called in 1837. On that
occasion Mr. Van Buben did not think proper
to make any communication in reference to the
Florida war, nor is there any allusion to it in his
message. Early in that session Mr. Wise moved
the. appointment of a committee by ballot, to en
quire into the delays and alleged abuses of that
war. Mr. Glascock (L. F.) forthwith moved an
amendment, which was in substance to strike out
the words “by ballot,” thus leaving the appoint
ment of the committee to Mr. Polk. Mr. How
ard (L. F.) moved that the inquiry be referred to
tl.oCommittee on Military Adairs; which was at
that lime composed of eight Loco Focus and one
Whig! Mr. Adams opposed the reference on the
ground that it was the uniform parliamentary
practice to secure the appointment of a committee
favorable to investigation. Mr. Gholson (L. F.)
followed in the footsteps of Mr. Howard. Mr.
M’Kay (L. F.) was opposed to the raising of any
committee. He wished to waittill the commence
ment of the next session, and then refer one branch
of the subject to the Committee on Indian Adairs
another to the Committee on Military Affairs, and
a third to the Committee on the Expend!,urcs ol
the War Department. Mr. Wise opposed the
delay, as the evil was urgent, and the remedy to
he applied immediately; it was his wish that the
committee should be raised witli authority to sit
during the recess of Congress. Twenty times
during the session, the resolution of Mr. Wise
came before the House; twenty times it was haf
ded and talked down by the M’Kays, Gholsons,
Howards, Glascocks, and other mercenaries in
the King’s Own, and the .session passed without
the opportunity ot action.
What was the meaning of this 1 Whence this
solicitude to prevent invcst'gat on ? Why this
resolute determination to shut out light from the
people! Because the administration knew full
well the corruptions and abuses practiced under
the pretence of a Florida war. Because it fur
nished inexhaustible resources for rewarding par
tisans, and pensioning favorites.
Rice Garland stated on the floor of the House,
that he had it from unquestionable authority, that
instances had occurred in which wood had been
bought by the government at 517!) a cord—anil
in which a steamboat had made enough at a sin
gle trip along the coast and up one of the rivers
to cover her original cost. Mr. Wise made simi
lar statcmcats—declared his readiness to prove
them by satisfactory evidence if the house would
giant him a committee of investigation. Tin
truth nf these statements was not denied by the
administration but the resolution if inquiry
was defi altd by intrigue and fraud.
But while the Picsidcnt did not condescend to
allude to this subject in the message of the Extra
Session; and while all inquiry into the affairs of
the war, was stifled by the myrmidons of the ad
ministration ; Mr. Poinsett came before the House
with a cool request for a Million and a half of
dollars for the purpose “of bringing the war to a
speady and successful close.” The friends of the
Crown were unwilling to inquire into the cir
cumstances, which called for the expenditure, but
voted without investigation all that Mr. Poinsett
desired.
Here we have an exhibition in the first place
of gross negligence and insolence on the part of
the President; in demanding a million and a half
of dollars for the prosecution of hostilities, which
had not been originated by Congress, had never
been the subject of a special communication to
Congress and had not even been alluded to in the
most distant manner in the Executive message.
We have again an exhibition of a fraudulent
reluctance on the part of the administration to
authorise any inquiry into abuses which were
known to exist, and which were supposed to pro
tract the war. If the executive had not profited
by those abuses; if it had not thrived and strength
ened on this corruption; if it had not in fact
stimulated, encouraged, and sustained them would
it have resorted to such unworthy means to sup
press investigation! When attacked, if innocent,
would it not have challenged inquiry 1
So much for Mr. Van Buhf.n’s first connec
tion as President with the Florida war; silence
in his message, the gag law in Congress, and a
draft of a million and a half on the Treasury !
Thk Littlk Steamer. —The New York
Transcript says,—“We went on hoard the little
Iron steamer yesterday, and a more compact and
beautiful piece of machinery we never before
saw. It is, indeed, an era in the science of navi
gation, when such a small, cock-hoat looking thing
can he made to traverse the wide Atlantic with
rapidity and safety. An English paper speaking
ofthc enterprise of Captain Crane, in hazarding
such a trip, says, “it goes far to fulfil the predic
tion of Napolean, that the time v/ould come w hen
a British sailor would cross the ocean in a wash
ing tub,” The application is wrong only so far
that Captain Crane happens to be a Yankee—a
thorough bred down East Yankee, too—being a
native of Har ford, Connecticut.”
Important Decision. —The Circuit Court
of the United States for the Louisiana District
has derided that the late law of Congress conccr
ninn steamboat® Zppacmne to boats navi
gating the Mississippi river. There are nearly
one hundred, amt fifty suits to which this decis
ion is applicable. The ease before the Court was
that of the United States vs. Captain Price, on an
information that the said captain had not com
plied with the act of Congress in procuring iron
tiller-ropes for the use of his boat.— National
Intelligencer.
Presentments. —The grand jury of Newcas
tle District, U. C. has presented Lord Durham’s
report as a public nuisance. The grand jury of
Randolph county. N. C, has made a similar pre
sentment of Mr. Van Huron's administration of
ouraffairs, and the doctrines of his message.— N.
Y, Courier dr Enquirer.
Special Vehuict. —Three young men were
recently tried in Calaraugus county for shooting
and mortally wounding a dog. The written ver
dict of the Jury was—" All three guilty; plain
tiff's damages assessed at 6 pence; and each ofthc
defendant’s to have another shot at the dog.
1 A Tatkun Kkkpkr Circumvkstkd. —A
i short time since, the door of a country inn was
darkened by a well-dressed man, of modest and
i unassuming mien, who requested food for his
horse, and the extra services of a hostler, inas
much as the beast had been hardly driven. The
stranger hud much the appearance of an intelli
gent farmer of moderate means, who, though lib
eral perhaps was never profuse. After attend
ing to the welfare of his horse, he entered the
bar-room.
“ You may give mo,” said he to the landlord,
‘something to eat, but merely a cold bile. My
business is very urgent, so any thing will serve,
my turn for the present.”
a moment had elapsed after his or
der was issued, ere the jingling of a small bell
summoned him to the ‘dining room;, which in,
ordinary places, would have been termed no more
than a bed room. The fare placed before him,
although a cold bite, as he had ordered, in the
strict sense of the term, was yet meagre in the ex
treme. The remains of a cold dish of potatoes
and boiled pork, aud a glass of water, were all
that had been appropriated to his use.
Swallowing a few hasty morsels, he again pre
sented himself before the bur and demanded his
Ml.
‘Half a dollar for your dinner,’ said Boniface.
‘Haifa dollar I I seldom dispute a tavern hill,
sir, but for such as I have had, the charge is an
imposition.’
‘A meal is a meal,' said the landlord, and that
is our regular-charge.’
‘lt is a small sum to quarrel about,’ observed
the traveller,‘but L prefer to be pilfered in a man
ly manner.’
‘A meal is a meal,’ again returned the landlord
in a surly manner; ‘we always charge that, whe
ther a man eat more or less, good or bad.’
Perceiving altercation to be useless, the stran
ger paid the bill, called for his horse and rode
away with the muttered exclamation that he
would sometime have an adequate revenge.
His destination was about fifteen miles distant.
After transacting his business, lie was about star
, ting the next day on bis return. He had men
tioned the circumstance to a friend, and that per
son answered that the tavern was notorious for
its extravagant charges, but that he could find
him a man who could put the landlord’s maxim,
‘a meal is a meal,’ to a thorough tost. According
ly, before setting out, our traveller was introdu
ced to his companion, who had abstained in or
der to do justice to the entertainment of his em
ployer. He was to he paid the expenses of his
dinner and journey. The adventurer was e. fair-
Icy, good httmo.ed fellow, something of a wag,
and extremely shrewd. He was with nil a most
incorrigible glutton. Eating and telling large
stories were his employments. He was fortu
nately an entire stranger to the inn-keeper.
‘La cl or , a d t'io traveller I owe this man,
Mr. John Joues, a dinner, which 1 lost by a fool
ish bet. Fu.rnislt him one and I will pay for it.’
‘What will you have !’ asked the landlord of
Mr. Jones. %
‘A roast turkey, sir.'
The landlord stared, hut issued his orders to
the occupant,s of the kitchen. They required some
little time to comply with the orders. The land
lord and Jones soon made themselves old acquain
tances.’
‘H ither a red face that of yours, landlord,’ sail!
•loner. I haven’t seen any thing that looked like
spring before ; fine blossoms, sir.’
■You are lather a crooked character, Mr. Jones.’
i ‘Uathcr, sii; but not quite so crooked as a tree
i I once knew. It was the tallest butternut I ever
I saw. Standing close to it one day in a thunder
storm, I saw a squirrel on one of the topmost
; branches. The lightning struck the same branch
f about three feet above him—the squirrel started—
i the lightning had to follow the grain, and the
squirrel went straight down. So confounded
crooked was that tree sir, that the squirrel, by my
watch, got to the bottdm precisely three minutes
before the lightning.’
'That’s a lie,’ exclaimed the landlord.’
A lie ! true, sir, true as any story ever was. 1
afterwards saw that tree cut down and made into
rails for a hog pasture. The hogs would crawl
through twenty times in a day, and so thunderin’
crooked were them rails that every time the hogs
got out they found themselves in the pasture
again !’
before Jones had time to relate another story,
' the hell rang for dinner. The turkey was there,
flanked on one side by a huge dish of potatoes
I and on the other by condiments of various kinds.
‘I will thank you, said Mr. Jones to the dam
sel In waiting, ‘to cook me a few slices of beef,
I am afraid 1 shall not be abb# to make out a din
ner on this.’
The girl withdrew in amazement, while Jones
made a most vigorous attack upon the fowl, which
, rapidly disappeared before his advances. Wings,
legs, and body were soon transformed into a skel
eton, and heaped into a large pile beside his plate.
The vegetables too, had sensibly diminished, and
he had just laid his hands on an apple pie of un
common dimensions, when the girl made her ap
pearance with the beef.
1 1 hank you, said Jones, ‘have the goodness
now to cook me some pork steaks, rather rare,
and bring me a plate of pickles. I have a very
1 strong appetite.’
'Hie girl disappeared, and Jones fell to again,
but with less alacrity than before. He managed,
however, to devour the beef just as the girl came
in with the pork, the pickles having in the in. an
time been eaten.
‘Now, Mis i, I’ll trouble you for some fresh fish.
Have you any V
While the girl had gone to enquire for this,
the landlord, who had been apprized of the sad
havoc which had been made among his viands,
i entered the room. At this juncture of aflairs, the
‘ girl came back with the intelligence that they hud
nothing but pi -kled salmon.
‘dive me half a dozen pounds of that then.’
t Jones had already stuffed himself to repletion,
, and to have saved his life, could scarcely have
swallowed another morsel. TJ>» having
ticard the last order thought best to fill up as cheap
as possible.
‘W'on’l you have some cider, Mr. Jones V
( ’No sir, no I thank you. I always make it a
( rule in eating, never to drink anything until I get
jist about half through.’
‘Good God, sir, you’ll eat us out of house and
I home. Quit now. and you are welcome to what
you have eaten.’
‘Well, a meal is a meal ! but I presume I can j
obtain more at the next-tavern. Tell ’em they ,
need not cook the salmon. I’ll take you at vour I
r ofle,.’ |
It is almost needless to mention that the land- I
j. j lord soon come to a knowledge of all the circum-i
i stances connected with the case, and that after- j
1 I wards he was particularly careful in selecting ob- |
I jeets upon whom to exercise his shaving propen
! sitics.
The Commissione s of the Btate of Connecti

amounted to g3|929i877 19—while the “imme

$ 1,185,301 71. The amount of specie in all the
Hunks at that time, except Connecticut River
Hank, from which no returns were reci ived, was
$518,608 82, and the amount of hills in circula
