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.

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 cut have made their annual report to the Legis- ; future, from which it appears that the whole ! i amount of Bank Capital in the State in August j i last, was $9,957,858 71, and that their liab.lities i amounted to g3|929i877 19—while the “imme diately available” resources of the banks were $ 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 tion waa $2,611,139, 00 which shows an increase in tho'circulalion, from March, 1838, to August, 1338, of about $700,000.
