Messes. Eiiitoiih : —As there appears to he
so many conflicting interests and difference of
. si
opinion, as regards the crossing of the South
Carolina Rail Road to our city, it is a duly in
cumbent on all our citizens to give their i leas ro
ll
lativo to it. The majority ul them probably, do
not lake an impartial view of the subject. I
would ask the well wishers of our city, if it is
any thing more or less, than self interest among
all parlies, each pulling its own way to get the
advantage. Savannah is holding out to ns the
great advantage of a Rail Road, from lienee
through Uurke county ; what I ask would he left
for our city to send on that route after Savannah
has completed the branch from her main road to
the Western and Atlantic Rail Road, between
West Point on the Chatahooehee and Decatur,
to intersect the communication with Augusta,
and thereby draw the trade of Tennessee, as
well as the Cherokee purchase from Augusta,
which otherwise would find its way here, and he
of immense benefit to us, and ultimately he trans
ported on the Uurke route, or on the river. Sa- 1
vaimah understood her interest by uniting her. 11
self to the \V‘ .tern and Atlantic Rail Road, and
securing this grand key to the western country,
without which, the produce would all (low to
Augusta, and a great part no doubt, find its way "
to her rival in South Carolina ; she will by this *'
branch set Augusta on one side. W ill the citi- 111
zona of Uurke county, and those other counties 111
so immediately in the neighborhood of the great
Central Rail Road, find it their interest to I' 1
• sen 1 their produce to Augusta, when they can
l ave it conveyed immediately to the seaport, and
realize that profit themselves, instead of giving
'I to the merchants of Augusta! .No! They
will find it their interest to carry it to Savannah,
when they can purchase their supplies without
the additional advance, which they otherwise
would have to pay the merchants at Augusta.
Savannah is very naturally securing her own
interest in lime, its tee ought lu be dniiit' —
However, anxious and desirous we may be to fos
ter and protect our own Atlantic city, let us not |(
e ui. olv overlook our own interest at home ; and j |
if Savannah 1 so solicitous for the welfare of 1
Augusta, she ought not t-> complain, that while
we are extending the hand of friendship to asi-Ul
her views and inn rests, it we should, at the same
time, consult our ovv 11.
It i< well kii iwti. that at the principal season
for purchasing supplies, the merchants of the in j
tenor al.n Ist die 1 1 the idea of g dug to the lower j „
C miltry, either to Savannah or Charleston, but ji
will at all limes come to Augusta, where it is
healthy and safe.
Now, iflhe Charleston Rail Road is permitted
to terminate at Augusta, the same cause (the
health of Augusta) would induce the large whole
sale merchants of Charleston, to locate branches
of their houses in our city to insure to them a 1
share of the tra le ; and would not the jealousy of
the Savannah merchants towards their rival in (
(torn narco, iula e the n also, to locate houses 1
here, and would not the favorable situation of 1
Augusta, in this regard,command this very thing
independently,and become in consequence of me 1
great rivalry ol those two seaports, the centre
if huiinest, by drawing to this central market
ul! 'he produce of the interior, and giving the
udvaalag- a, I e:ui e 01 th et ma.ke.s instead
of on, if seal immediately 11 Savannah. Rut (as
already remarked) the intersecting branch Hi (
I
I Wi t Point Mini Decatur will take e»fiy thing
j past us to Savannah.
Jl may ho asked, why llio Charleston merchant*
i]n not locate horc nl present, to which may be
nn-wered, that Charleston would in the event
of llio It,iil Road passing to Augusta, have such
I an interest at Make In re, —her interest would bc
' eornc irlenti!<•■<] with < nrs as well nath.it of 8a
! vuiinnh, mid also the large Amerienn nianufae-
I lories at the north, who would derive superior
advantages hy locating ageneies here.
This it is to !m- Imp 1, will induce others to
give their opinion on this subject, which will give
the community a mm h hettrr insight of theii
own interests than any meeting that might lie
eallc d for that purpose, and enable them to secure
those interests before the, trade is diverted into
another channel to the everlasting injury of our
fair city. Pi.MjrwAir.

Rank of the United Stales.
Wm. 11. Cuvwfo tin's Letter to (diaries Jar
red Ingersoll, on the subject of the Rank of the
United States.
Wood laws, Dec 5, 1831.
Dear S'r, — Your friendly letter, on the subject j
of the Hank of the United (Slates, has been re- |
ccived hy duo course of mail. The opinion,
which I formed of the constitutionality and expe- 1
dieney of the Hank of the United Stales, when I
was a member of the Senate was the result of a
careful examination of the Constitution of the
United States, made without any preconceived
opinions. That opinion is recorded in two !
speeches which I made in the Senate in the year
1811. Since that time I have had no occasion
of renewing the question.
My opinion remains unaltered. I was Secre
tary of the Treasury more than eight years, and
during that time I had ample evidence of the
great utility of the Hank of the United States, in j
managing the flsflil concerns of the Union. lam
persuaded that no man, whatever his preconceiv- (
ed opinions may be, can preside over the treasury
one year, without being dimply impressed with
the expediency of the Hank of the United States,
in conducting the finances of the Union. Tho <
provision in tho Constitution which gives Con- 1
gross the power to pass all laws which may be j
necessary ami proper to carry into effect tho enu
merated powers, gives Congress the right to pass
the hank bill, unless a law, most proper to carry
into effect the power to collect, and distribute re
venue, should he excluded by that provision.
The opponents of the constitutionality of tho j
hunk, place great stress upon the word necessary, r
contained in the grant of power, and insist that
no law can he necessary but such, without which i
t.m power could not be carried into effect. Now
this construction appears to me to be indefensible. |
It does seem to me, that the words “necessary j
and proper” cannot exclude a law that is most
proper to carry the power into effect. Yet the j
imeuiistitulionality ol the hank can he pronounced |
only upon that construction. It does appear to |
me that the framers of the constitution never could
have intended to exclude the passage of a law I
most proper to carry a power into effect, because
it might be carried imperfectly into effect by an
other law. My construction of the grunt of pow
er, to pass all laws which may he necessary to
carry the enumerated powers into effect, includes
the power to pass all laws which are necessary
and p oper to carry the enumerated powers into
elleet iu the most perfect and complete manner,
and not in an incomplete and imperfect manner.
I have not seen a complete developeu ent of
the President’s plan of a Hank. It is possible
that hy his plaft, the transmission of the revenue
may he effected. The advantage of this security
to the public is incalculable. It ought not to ho
relinquished, unless it can be satisfactorily proved
that the Bank of the United Stales is unconsti
tutional.
This I think cannot he satisfactorily shewn.—
My speeches aic recorded, and can he re-publish
ed if necessary. They contain the result of the
best investigation I was able to give the subject.
I am persuaded I could not improve upon it now,
it I bail the means of investigating the subject,
which I have not.
1 am, sir, your friend. &e.

Tins Multicacus Fkveu does not seem
to have passed its crisis. It aught were wanting
to increase it, it is furnished by a lute visit from
Mr. Olmstead, ol East-Hart lord, Ct. who exhibit
ed to us forty hanks of beautiful sewing silk, of
various colors, weighing between four .and five
pounds, made from plants of the multicauhs,
growing on one-sixteenth of an aero ol land, and
Itie plants Ilians leet put in the ground after the
; 13 Ih nj' Map, the same season. So says Mr.
Olmsted, and we have no reason to distrust his
word. Mr. Olmsted s plan, and we believe his
1 practice, is, to cultivate rite multicaul.s us anun
i nuul. that is, to plough up the roots every lull,
preserve them in ceil irs or elsewhere during the
winter, and to replant the roots and the cuttings,
with the plough in the spring, Mr. Olmsted al
so showed varu us silk fabric*, manufactured at

A V oeTitn l Witness.—The Paris Journal
des Debats contains a report ol a trial, for one of
those frightful crimes, ol which the records of the
French court exhibit many examples, in which
! the most important witness was a child of only
four and a hall years of age. ‘J'he accused Louis
Augustus Maurm, was charged with having pois
oned, by arsenic, a family ol eight persons, viz:—
Ins grandfather, bis uncle, and six cousins. The
charge was supported by mu. h circumstantial
evidence. The accused was proved to have en
tertained hostile feelings against liis relations, ami
had threatened the hte ol his grandfather. On
the day in which the crime was committed, the'
family had at dinner eaten o! a certain soup with
-1 out harm ; ami at supper at seven o\ lock in the
• evening, all the family except one daughter, who
was ill, ale of the same soup, *nd weie itninedi
ately after seized wnh the most horrid pain from
poison, wm, h,oo examination olthe soup which
lemiined pr.v.r lobe arsenic. It was proved

su'Pictoii on os. vital he occupied an a, ail
ment ill the sane house with the poisoned family,
though he did not compose one of the family ;
! and that no stranger had been seen to approach |
! the house, or could have entered the kitchen.
Sophia Muiinn. the sister who did not eat ol
j the soup, testified that she was in the kitchen
• during ll.i- whole afternoon, with the exception
I of a short tune at 5 o'clock, when she went out,
; leaving her little sister Henrietta alone —the soup
[ Using then in the pot over the fire—that soon ut
-1 ter supper, those who ale ol the soup, were seized
j w ith violent vomiting—that she sent lor a physi- t
I clan, Sc i.—and that the next day Henrietta told |
her that while she (Sophia) was absent the even
ing before. Augustus came into Iho kitchen, took
I something front a paper, and put it into the put.
Henrietta was then introduced into the court. —
I .She was four and a hull years of age. Being
asked if she knew the prisoner, she said “yes it is
Maurinot.” Ucingdirected to tell what happened
on the day of the poisoning, she said she was in
the kitchen, Maurinot came into the kitchen, and
asked her if she was there alone, she said yes.—
He then went to the fire, stooped down, and took
j oil the cover from the pot, and threw something
i into it, which he look from a papier in his hand,
, and then went out. The president asked her
] several rjuestions, to ascertain whether she com*
! pr bend the meaning of what she had been say
i ing, to which she gave intelligent answers.
The testimony of the witness was corroborated
! by various circumstances, particularly his having
paid no attention to tire cries of the sufferers, and
the confusion in the, family, during tire evening
and night on which they were poisoned, although
he was in the house in his own room; and having
pretended the next day to have no knowledge of
what had happened, although all the neighbors
had hastened to their assistance, attracted by
I their cries of dietress. He admitted that he heard
i his uncle say, “Oh, my God,” hut he was just
I going to sleep, and thought nothing of it. The
j jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner
was sentenced to the punishment of death.—

Nkw Guv.— Wc were shown, a few days
since, a newly invented gun, which, us far as we
are able to judge of the merits of such death-deal
ing implements, is the most ingenious and effec
tive we have ever seen or heard of. It has recei
ved the name of the Torpedo, and was invented
by Mr. B. F. Smith, of South Hadley, Massa
chusetts, and made in that town. It is so con
structed that the cartridge, which contains the
powder, ball, or shot, and wadding in their proper
order, is inserted in a chamber at once, and in a
moment of time, and the discharge is produced
by percussion, the result of a rod orpistou forcibly
through a cap, to the powder in the chamber.
With such facility is the process carried on, that
the piece can he charged ami discharged ten times
in a minute, or once in six seconds. The ma
chinery connected with the gnu is entirely hid
den from sight. It is said to he perfectly safe,
and is considered a great improvement over every
other firearm that has been invented.—Provi

The Charity of W ages,
nr LVUIA 11. ft IG OCRN K V •
Among the forms ol benevolence which, in our
age of the world, are both multiplied and various,
perhaps few of us sufficiently keep in blind the
charity of wages. To assist the poor, through
their own industry, ennobles them. It keeps
alive that love of independence, which is price
less in a free country. To grudge, or stint the
wages of female labor, is false economy. It is
to swell the ranks of degradation and vice. In
our sex, it is unpardonable cruelty; for the aven
ues in which they can gain an honest subsistence,
are neither so numerous nor so flowery that we
may close them at pleasure, and he innocent. Wc
ought not to consider ourselves as doing the duly
of Christians—though we subscribe liberally to
foreign and popular charities—while we withhold
the helping hand, or the word of sympathy from
the female lahorei within our own gates.
1 know not that I narrate an uncommon or
| peculiar circumstance, when I mention a young
gi 1. brought up in ( comparative affluence, who,
at the sudden death of her father, was leftwithout
resources. The mother’s health failed, through
grief and misfortune, and the girl nobly resolved
1 1 earn a subsistence for both. She to ned to the
needle, with which she had been dexterous for
amusement, or the decoration of her ow n apparel.
A little instruction enabled her to pursue, from
house to house, the occupation of a chess m tker.
At first, some ol the delicate feelings of earlv
culture clung around her. She dared scarcely to
raise her eyes, at the table of strangers; and when
at night money was given her. she felt half asha
med to take it. But want soon extinguished
those fingerings of timidity and refinement. Be
fore her pittance was earned, it was mentally de
voted l‘o the purchase of some comfort for her
enfeebled mother. It soon became evident that
her common carings were insufficient. She took
home extra work, and ahtiJged her intervals of
I rest. Her candle went not out by night, and
sometimes, when her mother had retired, she al
j most extinguished the fire, continuing to work
, w ith chilled hands and feet, least the stock of fuel
; should not suffice until her slender earnings
■ would allow her to purchase more.
Her nervous system became overwrought and
; diseased. Those for whom she worked for were
; of" n querulous, and hard to please. She felt an
| i tsupera le longing for a kind word, encouraging
1 ok—for sonic form of sympathy to sustain the
j sensitive spirit. Those who hired her had not
!pm these in the contract. Work on her part,
j : ‘it I mom yon theirs, was all theslipulation. They
I dal "ot perceive that her step grew feeble, as dav
j l ’. v day she passed through the crowded streets to
j the task, or night alter night returned to nurse her
. infirm mother. \ sudden flush came upon her
I check, and she sunk into the grave before the pa
rent for whom she toiled.
The wife of a sailor, during hia periods of ab
sence, did all in her power to aid him in dimin
ishing their expenses. He was not of that class
who spend their wages on their arrival in port,
and forget their follies! Hut us bis family in
creased, his earnings, without rigid economy on
her part, would have been insufficient fur their
j support.
; At length the bitter news came that her hus
j hand was lost at sea. When the first shock of
j grief had subsided, she summoned her resolution,
| and determined to do that for her children which
their father had so often expressed his wish to
have done, that Ihcy should he kept together, and
not be dependent cn charity. h>he had great
personal strength and a good constitution. h>hc
made choice of the hardest work which is per
formed hy females, because it promised the most
reward. Often after her task of washing did she
forget her weariness, while, in the dusky twi
light, she hastened toward her lowly home, as
the mother bird nerves her wing when she draws
near to her nest.
Hut she found her sickly babe a sufferer from
these absences and sometimes accidents hefel the
other little ones, from her having no person with
whom to leave them. The sum which she earn
ed would not always pay for the injury they had
su stained by the want of her sheltering care. It
occasionally happened, that if the lady for whom
she worked was out or engaged with company,
she returned without her payment, for which
either to wait or go again, were inconveniences
i whi h those who dwell in abodes of plenty can
not estimate.
I Was there not some labor which she could
perform at home, and thus protect the nurslings
for whose subsistence she toiled ? The spinning
wheel and loom first presented themselves to her
thought, for she had been skillful in their use, in
the far off agricultural village where her youth
had been spent. Hut domestic manufacturers ban
become unfashionable, and she roulil obtain no
such employment. Coarse needle work seemed
her only resource. At this she toiled incessantly,
scarcely allowing herself time to get or partake of
a scanty meal. Hut after all was done the re
muneration was inadequate to their necessities.
She could scarcely supply a sufficiency of the
coarsest food. Her children shivered ns the win
t r drew on. Their garments, though constant
ly mended, were tl in, and their poor little feet
hare and blue. fs| e drew hark front the misera
ble fire, that they might he warmed, and shudder
ed as she saw the means of sustaining this corn
fort w asting away.
Still the injunction of her departed husband lay
deep and warm in her heart. She asked no
charily. She remitted no exertion and her whole
lile was as one prayer to God.
At this crisis a society, formed on the true
principle of benevolence, to aid poverty through
its own efforts, arose to save her front destruc
tion. Its express object was to improve the con
dition ol the tempest tossed mariner and his suf
fering household. It comprised an establishment
where garments were made for seamen ; and
be e she obtained a constant supply of needle
work, with liberal and prompt payment. One
of its most bean til ul features was a school, where
the elementary branches of a good education
were, gratuitously taught. Here instruction in
the use of lire needle was thoroughly imparted,
and as soon as the pupils were able to finish a
garment for the clothing store, they were encour
aged hy receiving a just payment.
Now the small, lowly room of the widow was
brightened with comfort; and her heart was too
f ill for words. Her little girl came running from
school, one day. with a shout of joy. the eldest i
one exclaiming—-‘See mother; sec, here are j
twenty cents. Take them and buy a frock for
the baby. They gave them to me for making a j
sailor’s gingham shirt, strong and good. My
teacher says I shall soon sew well enough to I
make one of a nicer kind, for which I am to re
calve seventy-five cents. Then I’ll help you to
pay your house rent. O, I never was so happy
in my life; and yet I could not, help crying when
I walked, for 1 remembered that you used to make
exactly such shirts for dear father, and I did not
know hut the man for whom I made this might
he lost at sea, and never come hack to his homo
any more.”
“Here is a book,” said the little sister, “which
my teacher let me take front the school library, to
bring home and read to you while you sit at
work. And she is so good and kind tome, moth
er; she takes as much pains to have me learn,
as it we were ever so rich, and I love her dear
ly.”
“Blessing on her,” said the widow, through
her great tears. “Heaven’s blessing on the socie
ty, and on every lady info whose heart God has
put it to help the desolate poor through their own
industry.” And night, and morning, she taught
her kneeling babes the prayer of gratitude for their
benefactresses.
Let us encourage every variety of effort, hy
which our sex can win a substance, anil foster in
the young that spirit which prefers the happy
consciousness of being useful, to any form of in
dolent and hopeless dependence.—ln our bounty
to the poor, let us keep in mind the principle of
aiding them, as far as possible, through their own
exertions; for she who thus studies their moral
benefit, elevates them in the scale of being, and
performs an acceptable service to her country and
to her God.
Mothers, speak often to your daughters on these
subjects. Instruct them in the economy of char
ily. Your responsibility comprises both earth
and heaven.
There are many works from writers of the pre
sent day, which afford valuable hints for conversa
tion, on the subject of being respectable and hap
py, without the possession of wealth. Pre-emi
nent among them, is Miss Sedgwick’s “Rich
Poor Man.” From your own observation, you
can illustrate the truth of such sentiments. You
can convince them from the page of history, that
| virtu 3 and talent, and the heart’s true felicity,
may exist without the tinsel of gold.

EVANS’ FAMILY VEGETABLE APERIENT
AN JI-BILIODS PILLS.
Being composed of ingredients which exert a
specific action upon the heart, give an impulse or
strength to the arteral system ; the blood is quick
ened and equalized in its circulation through all
the vessels, whether ol the skin, tiie pails situated
internally, or the extremities j and as all the se
cretions of the body are drawn from the bteod
there is a consequent increase of every secretion,
anil a quickened action of the assoibent and exha
lant or discharging vesse s; any morbid action
which may have taken p.ace is icmoved, all ob
: structions arc overcome, the blood is purii ed, and
Hie body resumes a healthful stale. The cncula
. tion, that important function, was not known to
the great Celsus, Galen, or Hippocrates ; tiieiefure,
I their deficiency of knowledge led them to extract
I the vital Hu id as a curvatlve means; but upon t e
principles of the circulation of the blood, the prac
tice of b.ceding is proved to befailai ions. .
It has been left to the directors of this soci*'y
to bring forward Dr. Wm. Evans’Meditiiies,found
i ed upon the important knowledge imparted to the
world by the discovery of the circulation of the
blood.
Eton’s Family Vegetable Aperient Anti-Bilious
1 Fills, are sold in boxes of Twenty-five cents each.
. THESE MEDICINES
I' aftei much anxious toil and rescan h, having hern
brought by the Directors to their present state of
perfection, supersede the use of the iiiuumc.able
other medicines; are so well adapted to the frame,
that the use of them, by preserving the vital strength
in a pure and healthy state, and consequently
maintaining the body in the due performances of
its functions, cause it to last many years longer
than it otherwise would; and the mind to become
so composed and tranquil that old age when it ar
rives, will appear a blessing and not (as to many
who have neg ccted their constitutions, or had
them injured by medicines administered by igno
rance )a source if misery and abhorrence.
“Even from the body’s purity, the mind
Receives a secret sympathetic aid.”

DH. WILLIAM EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING.
To Mothers and Nurses.—T he passage of the
Teeth through the gums produces troublesome and
dangerous symptoms. It is Known by mollicis
that there is great irritation in the mouth and gums
during this process. The gums swell, the secre
tion and saliva is increased, the child is seized with
frequent and sudden fits of crying, watchings,
starting in the sleep, and spasms of peculiar parts;
tiie child shrieks with extreme violence, and
thrusts its fingers into its mouth. If these pre
cursory symptoms are not speedily alleviated,
spasmodic convulsions universally supervene, and
some cause Hie dissolution of the infant. Mothers
who have their little babes afflicted with these I
distressing symptoms should apply DR. WM. I
EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, ■
which has preserved hundreds of infants when I
thought past recovery, from being suddenly at- I
tacked with the fatal malady,convulsions. * B
