CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AUGUSTA.
MONDAY MORNING, JULY 1.
The space occupied by the proceedings of the
meeting ol our citizens on Saturday last, which
are now presented, leaves us no room for other
matters of a general interest. The character
however of its measure, embracing ns they do,
objects ofthe deepest interest to our citizens—to
the citizens of Savannah and the intermediate
country —to the Georgia Rail Road and Ranking
Company—and to the public generally, will make
ample amends for the absence ofother intelligence.
We are informed upon the authority of a gen
tleman direct from Milledgeville, that little or no
hope is entertained of the recovery of Gov. Gil
mer, the symptoms of his disease having assumed
a more decided and alarming character.
Mexican Dkiit, —We learn from good author
ity says the N Orleans Louisianian, of the 24th,
that the conversion of the Mexican debt,
amounting to upwards of 50,000,000 of dollars,
effected about two years ago by F. de Livardi, &,
Co. of London has been at length ratified by the
Mexican government and forwarded to England,
by the last English packet from Vera Cruz.—
This among other advantages, secures to the
bondholders one-sixth of the whole duties collected
in the ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico in pay
ment ofthe interest on the new bonds.
We conversed yesterday with a most intelli
gent gentleman, whose occasions have led him
through a large portion of the grain growing
<:ountry of the Union, and who expresses the
Opinion that the yield of wheat will be greater, by
lar, than it ever has been, in any single season,
since the settlement of the country. There is
more ground in wheat than ever was before, and
the product will be greater, taking the whole
country acre for acre, than it ever has been. We
know not whether this opinion be correct, but
we have confidence in it.— Baltimore Chronicle.
Another Mammoth —The St. Louis Gazette
ofthe 10th instant says, that a Mr. Cock, resi
ding 23 miles south-west of that city, is raising
the largest Mammoth bones ever seen in the wes
tern country. From the extremity of one tusk
to that of the other is supposed to measure 15
feet.
Trial of Mackenzie. —An extra from the
office of the “Ontario Messenger” gives a short
account of the trial of William L. Mackenzie,
who was indicted before one of the United States
Courts for a violation of the neutrality law of
1818. The evidence adduced was a recapitulation
of the facts connected with various expeditions
that have been raised in this country for invasion
of the British Territory. Mackenzie conducted
his cause in person, unaided by council, and
without introducing testimony, that which he of
fered being rejected as legally inadmissible. He
addressed the court and jury in a speech about
eight hours long, in which was detailed the whole
•history of his connection with the Canadian in
surrections. The jury, after retiring for three
hours, returned a verdict of guilty. The sen
tence of the Court, which was that he should 1 e
imprisoned in the county jail of Monroe county
for eighteen months and pay a fine of ten dollars,
was pronounced immediately after the verdict
was rendered.- -N. Y. Eve. Post.

Columbus, Mississippi, June 15.—The cot
ton crop was never more early or more promising
in this neighborhood, than it is the present year.
On many farms it is beginning to bloom, and on
some, bolls have been formed. We were shown
the other day, a full bloom taken from the field ■
of Mr. John Connell. He tells us the blooms arc
fast opening all over his field. Wo have also
been shewn a boll as large as a man’s thumb from
the field of Mr. Hoskins, a few miles from town.
This is the earliest we ever knew. Wc believe it
was some three or four weeks later last year, be
fore the bolls were formed. Wo will stake old
Lowndes against any county in East Mississippi
for early cotton, early corn, and early vegetables
of every kind.
Public Meeting.
An adjourned meeting of the citizens of Au
gusta, was holden at the City Hall, on Saturday,
the 39th of June, 1839.
His honor the Mayor, in the chair.
Mr. Harper, from the committee appointed at
the previous meeting, submitted the following
report:—
The Committee appointed under the authority
of the meeting of the citizens of Augusta, held on
the 22d inst., having taken into consideration
the various subjects referred to them, respect
fully
report:
That the interesting communication from the
Council of Savannah, relative to a continu
ous Railroad communication between that city
and this, first claimed their attention; and while
they have come to the conclusion that such a
i connection would be highly advantageous to
both cities, and to a large portion of the State of
Georgia, the/deem it their duly to express on
this occasion, the opinion which they have form
ed, that the improvement of the water comniuni
calion between the two cities would be still more
advantageous, and that the expense of the latter
measure, would be trifling when compared with
that of the former enterprize. It is believed that
it will be found on investigation that the ini-
provement now most required 'n this river is lire
deepening of the sand bars, and that this con be
most easily and permanently effected by tbc con
traction of the current, to such a narrow space
in low river, as to afford sufficient depth so. light
boats at all seasons.
Your Committee have had little hesitation in
recommending for the adoption of the meeting a
resolution, proposing that the City Council
should guarantee the bonds of the Georgia Hail
road and Banking Company, or subscribe for
stock of that Company to an amount not exceed
ing three hundred thousand dollars, on such
terms as may bo agreed on by the two corpora
tions..
They believe that not only this city but the
whole Southern AtlanticStatcs, and the vast and 1
fertile regions on the waters of the Mississippi
and its tributary streams, have a deep interest in
the speedy completion of that line of Railroad
communication, between the Tennessee river and
‘he Atlantic, of which the Georgia Railroad
forms so important a part. They would rejoice
if the adoption of the resolution which they rec
ommend, should aid in securing to the. Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company, the command
of that credit and-those resources, to which their
prudent management, unexampled success and
brilliant prospects, so justly entitle them.
\ our Committee have after mature deliberation,
concluded to recommend that the application of
the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Compa
ny, lor leave to enter the corporate limits of Au
gusta, be granted, under certain terms and re
strictions.
In conformity with these views; the following
resolutions arc respectfully recommended to the
adoption of the meeting.
S Resolved, That a close commercial union be
tween the cities of Savannah and Augusta,
would promote the prosperity and redound to
the honor of both cities and of the State of Geor
gia.
Resolved further, That for the attainment of
this object, a Railroad from the city of Augusta,
to some convenient point of intersection with the
Central Railroad, for which a charter lias already
been obtained, should be constructed as speedily
as practicable.
Resolved further, That the City Council of
Augusta be, and they are hereby respectfully re
quested to unite with the corporate authorities of
Savannah, in a memorial to the General Assem
bly at their next session, praying for the State’s
aid by a loan of its bonds for the sum of $101),-
000 to each city, to be used, if deemed expedi
ent in the contemplated work.
Resolved further, That public spirit and self
interest unite in claiming from the citizens of
Chatham, Burke, and Richmond counties, liberal
investments of private capital in aid ol the enter
prize.
Resolved further, That the constituted au
thorities of Augusta and Savannah be requested
to unite in a respectful application to the next
General Assembly of Georgia, to make an ade
quate appropriation for deepening, under the su
perintendence of a competent engineer, the shal
low bars of the Savannah river, so as to admit of
Steamboat navigation in low river.
Resolved, That the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company, bo respectfully advised to ef
fect such a loan abroad, as will enable them to
extend their road wcstwardly with unabating en
ergy.
Resolved, That confiding in the responsibility
of the Company, and the success of the enter
prize, the City Council of Augusta be respect
fully requested to offer their guarantee of the
bond or bonds of the Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company, for an amount notcxcecding three
hundred thousand dollars, and payable within
not less than five years, or to subscribe for three
thousand shares of (he stock of said Company,
upon such terms as may be agreed upon between
the two corporations, and to issue and deliver to
said Company the bonds of the city, payable a»
\ above, for said stock. •
That it is expedient to permit the
South Carolina ('anal and Railroad Company, to
extend their road within the corporate limits of the 1
city of Augusta, upon like restrictions as those
imposed upon the Georgia Railroad and Bank
ing Company,* and upon the further restriction,
that the depot of said company shall not be south
of Reynolds street, west of Campbell street, nor
cast of Elliot street, and upon such other restric
tions as the City Council may deem expedient.
Resolved, That it is inexpedient to exempt
from taxation the property which the said Com
pany may hold within the city of Augusta.
By order and behalf of said Committee.
JAMES HARPER, Chairman.
Augusta, June 89, 1839.
The foregoing resolutions, in regard to the
communication between the cities of Savannah
nd Augusta, were taken up and adopted.
The resolutions in regard to the Georgia Rail
Road and Banking Company, were also taken
taken up and adopted.
The resolutions, in regard to the proposition
of the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Com,
pany, wore taken up; when Mr. W. M. D’An
tignac submitted the following as a substitute
therefor, and for so much of the report of the j
committee as relates to that subject.
The undersigned, a member of the committee J
of n ; ne, appointed under a resolution of the mee- |
ting held on Saturday the22d inst. regrets the is
olated condition in which an irrcsistable sense of
duty has placed him in that committee.
In the consideration of the memorial of the
South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company, ]
he has been actuated by a sincere devotion to ,
tliu best interests of the city, and feels the emhai
russment ot liis situation greatly increased from
the fact that ho stands opposed to some of the
most intelligent of his fellow citizens, and alone
in the committee.
We have met as residents of Augusta, and not
as citizens of Georgia; the question, therefore, for
our consideration, is not whether the termination
of the Carolina Rail Road on this side ofthc Riv
er, will conduce to the interest of Georgia, (and
he thinks it would not) but it is whether such a
termination would or would not promote the in.
tercsts of Augusta; hence, the question is a local
one, and in its local bearings alone, has he though l '
it his duty to view it.
The friends ofthe application and himself agree
most fully in reference to the immediate effect of
terminating tin; Road within the corporate limits
of the city, and differ only in regard to the ulti
mate result of that effect; he and they agree that
the termination ot the Road in this city would
make it more convenient for the merchants of the
interior to go to Charleston than it is now; they
agree that it would make it less expensive for
them (o bring their goods from that city than it is
now; but they do not agree in the hypothesis
that in proportion as the facilities of reaching a
[arge seaport town from an inland one are increa
sed, the number going to the seaport town is de
creased. Nor do they agree in the assumption,
that in proportion as we lessen the expense of
getting goods from Charleston, will we increase
the amount of goods sold in Augusta ; he thinks
the opposite, will he found the inevitable result,
of permitting the Road to cross the River.
If the freight, drayago, and other expenses
consequent upon buying goods in Charleston
n ar| d returning with them to Augusta, amounts to
5 per cent upon the purchase, arc we of Augus
ta, not thereby' enabled to sell goods 5 per cent
higher than they are sold in that city, and yet
furnish the purchaser as low as his Charleston
goods would have cost him on their arrival here,
Now he would like to know by what process
of reasoning, gentlemen arrive at the conclusion,
that the merchants of Augusta would he better
enabled to compete with Charleston, if this per
cent or any portion of it was removed? And it
should be borne constantly in mind that Charles
ton is our great rival, the only one from which
we need apprehend any danger, and that the mer
chants oftliis city do not depend upon the Caroli
na Road, as the means of bringing their supplies
—the river affording a much cheaper mode of
transportation. Then why deprive your mer
chants of the advantages which result from the
accidental circumstance of location, when it is to
that circumstance alone, that they arc indebted
for their ability to compete with the merchants op j
' the rival city of Charleston. Remove the barrier i
which at present exists, and that city is brought
more immediately in competition with you—will
it then be possible for Augusta, an inland town,
greatly deficient in capital, to compete with
Charleston, an old and populous city of the At
lantic, with redundant capital—untiring energy
and a devotion to her commerce, absolutely unpar.
alleled in the history of America.
All know, that notwithstanding the present in
convenience of getting to Charleston, and ex
pense of bringing goods from there, many of the
merchants of the interior, are induced to seek
their supplies in that city; can any man assert,
that if this inconvenience and expense was les
sened, the number going there would decrease,
and yet this is the result of their argument.
Would Charleston make the application if she
expected such a result? She knows too well the
benefits which have heretofore inured to her from
the Road, not to sec that her trade would he in
creased and that of Augusta lessened.
It has been urged, that should the council re
fuse the application, the Carolina Road mill find
means of crossing the river in defiance of their
decision and that as the Company are now wil
ling to conic under restrictions, it is polite for us
to make such terms, as will secure us from us
much of the evil incident to the termination op
the Road within our limits as practicable.
> Now in his opinion the civil authorities of An
gusla, cither have, or havo not the legal right to
prevent the Company from terminating their road
within the corporate limits of the city; and if they
have the right and an attempt is ever made to
evade its exercise, he has no fears but that means
will be found adequate to the exigency ofthc
case, and the triumph of the laws.
Some of the friends of the application, insist
that if we refuse to grant the request, the Compa
ny will buy the bridge and make it free for all
vehicles passing to and from their Road; now if
this be consummated, it is apprehended that the
injury resulting to Augusta would he more than
if there was no bridge to cross. Certainly not.
’Tis said that in refusing the application, we
incur the odium, which attaches to all measures
purely selfish —lie has yet to learn that it is a
purely selfish measure, to place yourselves in
the breach which threatens your own annihila
tion and the utter ruin of Savannah. Do wo in
dicate selfishness in the promptness with which
the application from Savannah has been met; do
we not here evince a desire to establish a Rail
Road communication with the Atlantic; do we
not here shew to the people of the interior, a wil
lingness to furnish them all the facilities of which
we do, or can partake, the Carolina Rail Road be
ing as accessible to them as to us?
For one, he must protest against this Charles
ton effort, to destroy Savannah and make Augus
tacompletcly subservient to her. And to test the
sense of the meeting, he oilers the following
resolution.
Resolved, Tjiat jt would not only be inexpc
client, but greally prejudicial to the best interest of
both Augusta and Savannah, to permit the South
Carolina Kail Road to terminate, within the cor
porate limits of this city.
WM. M. D’ANTIGNAC.
On motion of Gen. Glascock, both the reso
lutions under consideration, and the substitute
were laid on the table for the present,
i Gen. Glascock then submitted a resolution,
which was modified to read as follows, and
ajkJptcd.
That a committee of five be np- '
pointed by the chair, to enquire into the expe
diency of recommending to the City Council,
the purchase of the two bridges across the Sa
vannah river at Augusta; to ascertain on what
terms the purchase can be. made, and report to n.i
\ subsequent meeting, l'
**-On motion of C. J. Jenkins, Esq., it was
Resolved, That a copy of the resolutions
adopted by this meeting, be signed by the chair
man and secretary, and handed to the City
Council.
The meeting then adjourned, subject to the
call ot the Mayor, whenever the committees in
reference to the Bridges, is ready to report.

Wm. T. Gould, Secretary.

X nient is now open for the reception of sum
mer and transient visitors:—lt has undergone con
siderable improvement ami additions since the .asC
season, among which is a spacious and elegant Sa.

of the Mansion House as a comfortable abode, the
character of both being to* well known to make
such a course necessary.
