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.

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!

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. \V. 11. CRAWFORD. 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 Northampton and elsewhere, and silk in various modes ol preparation.— Cultivator. 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.

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.— Boston Courier, The New York Sun says that it circulated i fifty-seven thousand copies of the number which 1 contained the foreign news by the Great Wes tern !

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 dence Cour. From the Ladies' Companion. 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.

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.” A pamphlet with general directions for taking the Tills, always given in at the store of the agent. 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 Sold by ANTON V & HAINES, Sole agents in Augusta, 0 J.
