(FOR THE CHRONICLE A.\l> SENTINEL.]
TO BENI’HAM.
I have read with pleasure a communication from
j J you addressed to the Directors of the Georgia
i | Rail Road and Banking Company, in the Augusta
II Chronicle and Sentinel of the 20th inst., por-
I fraying some of the many advantages t} bo dc
• rived by the immediate survey, location, and
U building of the branch of said road from the
Union Point, or from Grcensborough to Madison
f Morgan coun'y.
. I was gratified to see the subject had been no
ticed, From a careful review of the important
facts you have stated in regard to the probable
amount of profit accruing to the Stock-holders
by the competition of the branch of the road to
Madison, I am fully satisfied that the estimate is
far short of what may bo realized.
By reference to a map of the state, the position
j of Madison is such as to direct nearly all the
I travelling from norlh to west through it, by the
bslahlishmcnt of a daily lino of stages to West
feint, Montgomery and Alabama. This will be
» » source of much profit and has been omittted id
jrour estimate. When the road shall have been
Completed to Madison, there will necessarily be
an increase in its commerce. Colton will then
lie purchased to some extent. The merchants
‘j from the Western counties will have to carry on
much of their business here, and for this they
should not be forced to tely on distant banks
or brokers, for the means of meeting their engage
merits in Augusta, Charleston, &c. Docs nut the
interest therefore of this community (w-hoso mo
ral worth is not surpassed by any other) impe
riously demand the location of Banking capital,
in Madison; if so, who can occupy with mure con
venience, a situation which presents so many in.
dOccmcnls for the profitable employment of capi-
I tal than the Georgia Kail Road and Banking
1 Company. It appears to mo they should do so,
as they will thereby secure the profits resulting
from the operations of the Hail Road, hut should
j they neglect to secure the advantages, is there no l
i danger that some other Banking institution seeing
so favorable a position will occupy it heforb ller (
i and thereby deprive her of benefits which legiti
mately should belong to her.
■ For a long (Idle I have looked with astonish
' Bent at (what appear* to me to be) the blind po
ilicy pursued by the citizen* of August*, in regard
la this great and interesting enterprise, sot a long
jibe they were apparently hostile to it—subs*
Bwently indifferent, and now very lukewarm—-
-Jntucli interc.it for its progress and completion
jljPlluiild he felt.
# The citizens of Augusta cannot he ignorant of
*Jlhe fact that her rival sister Macon, is diverting
■ltmuch of the trade of the Western counties, which
Iwould ho conveyed to her by the completion of
Itho Rail road to Madison. This should bcspccdl.
||y done, otherwise the tide of trade now so strong.
I |y flowing to Macon, will he increased ly the
oumpletion of the “ Macon and Forsyth Kail
Road.” The magnitude and impur ance of thiti
subject requires that it be calmly weighed, add
the energies of the people awakened to it. Let
the Georgia Rail Road be completed with as litllo
j Belay as practicable, and the immense trade of the
. Western counties w ill flow into Augusta in spile

A will he giving up a large portion of her most val

GALLERY OF THE LOUVRE, AT PARIS.
I intended, long since, to give you some
little account of the splendid collection of
sculpture and painting, in the Royal Museum
of the Louvre, for I think its magnificence
and extent are not generally known to those
who are familiar with tlie fame of those cele
brated galleries. Several apartments.)! prince
ly dimeu'lohs, on the ground floor, in the
Palace of the Louvre, ate appropriated to the
collodion of ancient sculpture. On the floor
above, In a long range of apartments, high,
with vaulted roofs of admirable light, are
the invaluable paintings of the Museum.
To any hut tin artist, and him learned in
the names and lame of sculptors, a mere enu
meration of i lie most celebrated works of art,
in the statute galleries, would be wearisome;
I shall therefore, spare you such a catrlngue.
You might wander fur hours over these mar
ble pavements, and niter you had sesn the
celebrated fighting Gladiator (perhaps the
most famous statue in the world) of the Villa
Borgliese. the Diana, and other well known
statues, there are hundreds more of the finest
works of Rome and Italy, and antiquities of
Greece—bass reliefs, vases of prophyry, baths
of marble, busts ot alabaster, candelabra of
beautiful workmanship, and mosaic pavements
of exquisite beauty.
Every Sunday the grand entrance is thrown
open, and the public, unquestioned, has en
trance to these galleries, and to the paintings
above. There are a number of attendants
distributed through the place, to prevent inju
ry from visitoht; hut this is a tiling unnece.-sa
ry hero. No accident ever happened to the
most delicate tracery of sculpture, and visiters
do ridi, deem it necessary to examine with
their fingers, pictures w hich me suitably pla
ced for the pleasure of their eyes. Toe re
spect and appreciation which is generally felt,
for works of art ami tasteflil do, orations in
Paris, may he . inferred from the uninjured
state of statues, vases, and fragile ornaments
of marble, wliiclutre so plentifully exposed in
the pdblio gardens, and have stood without
detriment for years, while the touch of a
walking stick, dr the dash of a pebble from a
misch dvoiis hoy, would have ruined i hem. I
am told, tint dilring tic me orahle three
days, the whole popu ace swept through tin*
galleries of ihe Louvre, arid touched nothing
to injure it, except a portrait of Charles X.
which, in a moment of heat and (Humph, they
destroyed.
As in all other ga'lerie 3 , swords, canes, and
umbrellas, are deposited nt the duor, previous
to entering; and dh Sundays, in line weather,
the lower part of Ihe building, near the on
trance, resembles an armory, so crowded is ii
with the arms of the officers and soldifcrs ot
ihß link. Some have thrust their swords be
tweed blocks of mat-ole; others have stisp 1 ti
ded llidirt whfereetar a place could be found,
and btlleftq Iriofe emb'ess, have thrown them
UjH.ri (hk ground, or leaned trictfl against the
wall Id ddmirahle confusion. Upon other
daysofilie week, ndrililt nick to thk gallery
is free te dll strangers who exhibit llifc'ir pdss
ports.
Beautiful and various as arc the works ol
art in sculpture here, I think that hut a small
portion of the visiters, except arth-ts and am i.
leurs, spend much of their time among them.
They look upon them, admit the r excellence,
&iierhaps wonder and admire; but for the gal
leries above, they entertain a warmer feeling
—one df love. This greit gallery is mote
than a quarter df a mile in length, and is divi
ded intonine parts; three containing the works
of the Freriqli school’*'— three appropriated to
the Dutch,Flemish; and German schools
and the remaining three devoled to the works
nf Italian a rid Spa mall masters. It contains
nearly fifteen hand red paintings; many ot vast
i s z n , and all ol extraordinary excellent ■ or
i interest. Tiie lint room I hat is entered, has
many pictures which are interesting, chiefly
from the r antiquity, and as exhibiting tJ.e
1 progress of art. Tlif second is a vast room,
• and though chiefly occupied by the works of
French masters, among which aCo Do Brim’s
battle piece,possessed owca(lho*mo-t celebra
ted pictures of the work,and ti e larged I
hate yet sfeon —the Manage of Cana, by
Paulo"Vefdne.e. Opposite a it is another,

' tures as beautiful as if colored but yesterday !
Georgian!; Julio Romano and Raphael.—
There arc several pictures by Salvator Rosa,
. all characterized by the grandeur and spirit
, which h ire bee t attributed to Iris style. Two
(- of them are particularly fine; the Ghost of
, Samuel brought before Saul, by the Witch of
, Endor, and a small landscape, Banditti Itind
, ing. A number of fine works by Murillo are
here, and some Ly Velasquez.
Thus, in a 'ew brief lutes, I tell yon ofa
, gallery it would take hours to look at, and
, which 1 have been inhabiting fur mu tits, dis
. covering every day new pictures and endless
beaut.es; bull spare yon, knowing too well
| how painters bore their listeners, "when they
talk of their Raphaels, C’orrigias, &c.” If
! yon were oven bmd to tite beauties of paint
ing, it would be an interesting place for you
to visit. Sometimes one or two hundred ar
tists, or students of the art, are painting at the
same time in the gallery ; foe this govertrienf,
with a praise-wnrihy liberality, keeps these
, vast halls open, and comfortably warm in win
tor, that all who wish may copy here. Scores
, of Frenchmen, many Gormans, more English,
! ami some Americans, aru all enjoying tins
i great, privilege, free of expense; painting five
C days in the week, from three 1.11 four. About
, one-fourth of the artists aru fern .lea ; <und
f really many of the best copyists are found
, among the Indies—some of them arrived at a
goodly age, nod others youthful students. A
stroll down the gallery would amuse and in
terest you. There is a picture by Greuze, a
. pretty girl near a fountain ; half a dozen ea
, sets have stood before it during tho whole
se tson, and it ha* been copied by riicri, wo
men, and boys, some twenty lime* in every
variety of manner. To observe the subjects
selected by diflerent siudeiits—thcir var.e’y
of appearance—their manner of working—
some carelessly clad, and student-looking
enough—o.’bcrs "dressed I.ke a bridegroom,"
and "'twixt the finger and the thumb” a pen
cil, “winch ever .'»id anon they give llio r cun

are a few lino specn.'tens m ties sort, winch
arc 100 picturesque themselves to produce

THE ENGLISH NEWS.
VVc barely published a postscript yesterday of
nows by the George Washington, rcla ivo to the
proposed aid to American Houses by the Bank
us England, to the amount i.f two millions of
pounds slerling; and ibis intelligence produced
something like hope in this City, founded 011 the
belief that tho Bank .it Eu land having ventured
to extend the hand of relief, would go ,ni alf.rd
ing facilities even when in possession of the me
lancholy nows f.om the Country. We inusinot
deceive ourselves with this hope. Our private
advices are any thing hut consolatory. The Go
vernment and the Bank have interchanged opin
ions on the state of allkirs, and the aid which the
Bank agreed to afford is nut only limited to a very
small amount, but that amount is to he secured
|.y deposits of stock and undoubted paper, and
only 1.0 bo considered as provisionury and contin
gent oil ihe advices lo be received from this Coun
l,y-
Os th* sum appropriated for immediate relief
hy tho Bank, one million two hundred thousand
went lo one large American House alone, and we
doubt whether that sum will bo sufficient uu the
3Jill of April to avert impending calamities. An
idea prevails that the immense resources of the
Bank of England can all bo brought to the aid
of American credit at this juncture. The fact ia
otherwise. The credit of (bat Bank is required
nut only throughout England, but in all the vast
possessions of Great Britain, in a greater or lesser
degree. The position of this Country at present
is tar from being nit enviable or even an honest
one. The Government us the United Stales has
changed its character entirely, and has become a
great Danker, I.or only on the capital of her own
citizens, hut on the capital ol (.‘real Britain, bor
rowed from her in gold and silver when the bal
ance of trade was in our favour. The great ad
vantage which the Government of the United
Slates has at present over the Government of
Great Britain is that our Government is out of
debt, and has hoarded all the money borrowed or
hcloiiiilng to the people, while Great Britain owes
n gicat national debt the interest of which must
hd paid, and has lost or allowed to he exported
one half her capital of gold and silver, on which
hanking facilities In trade were laoed. By the
cunning, the (rickety, and the had faith of our
own Govern nont, wc have not only got our
own citizens down, hut we have nearly got our
friends in England down. The difficulty, how
o.cr, will ho to keep England •!own; tar although
it is inanifcsily our duty an I ini reit to coma lo
her aid whenever she requires it, there can he no
doubt of her stability nod power lo avert the evil,
and in time get hack that portion of gold and sil
ver belonging 10 her, and on which our Govern
ment so dishonestly holds with a light and grasp

Business in Boston. —The Atlas of Wed
nesday says ; there have been during the last ten
days five or six large failures in this city—all of
them of houses esteemed two mouths since not
only perfectly solvent, and abundantly able to
meet all their engagements, hut removed from all
apprehension of disaster, of credit undoubted, and
resources unlimited.
The failure of these houses created much sur
prise—hut wc u*/.der»tand that most of them -how
a large amount of property which, in ordinary
limes, would he amply compcicrjt to the payment
of 1 heir debts, and leave them with a considerable
surplus.

little, fail to indicate how much confidence is re

We have reason to think the Banks willcon

yesterday in the shape off fly thousand dollars

CITY NEWS.
1 Tuesday, P.M.—Wo are rejoiced lo witness
f a little brighter feeling in the Money Market.
> Stocks went up from one to four por cent, and
, there was quite a disposition to invest. The spirit
. of speculation is not extinct—the moment there i*
-a chance to make a dollar, both capital]and money
appear to embrace it. The Comptroller of the
State is here, and has made an airangcment to
sell to our Banks about three millions of Slate
slock on time; —this arrangement will help our
Banks and the public much, and has contributed
to make things better.
STOCKS.
Tuesday, P. M.—Slacks are all better (o-day,
! from one to throe per cent. United Stales Banks
sold for cash ot 1 IT, while on time there were
1 no buyers at 118. This is owing lo the fact that
purchasers had to fulfil contracts. Bank Slocks
1 are heavy. Monied men are fearful of the had
tl#bls they may make, mid which may effect divi
dends. Rail Roiids now enjoy greater confidence,
from the fict that they cannot discount had pa
paper. Delaware and Hudson, tho foot hull
stack, which is quickest ellected, went up four
per cent advance. It is surprising to see, that
whenever there is the slightest chance for specula
tion, there is both dormant capital and disposi
tion to embrace it.
From the Now York Herald.
MONEY MARKET.
Tuesday, April 20.
The money market in Wall street opened yes
terday under an extraordinary degree of excite
ment. As soon as it was announced that a pack
et was below from Liverpool to tho 34ih, the
news flew like lightning, until it was ascertain
ed that the same agUition pervaded London and
Liverpool, that has been pervading for weeks
New York and Now Orleans.
In another part of our paper the news will be
found at length.
1 It appears that Ihe Bank of England has step
ped forward to a small extent, and extended aid
1 to the American houses, Yet it is doubled how
far this aid may he effective. Ono of the worst
! features in the negoeiulion is, the declaration
that the measures of the Bunk will depend on
the solvency 01 the American merchants on this
side us the water. Iftho American trade in Bn-
I gland requires such propping up before they may
I have board of the beginning of the revulsion in
1 this country, how will they feel when the terri
-1 hie failures for ilia last mouth shall have readied
I them '! It appears that at tho last dates, the
• amount of American paper coining lo maturity
in London ami Liverpool was $00,000,(100 —the
. aid furnished hy the hunk only $5,000,000 —live
I loaves and two fishes, hut what ure those among
so many ! On the other lianJ, it is slated that
if t'.ic Bank nf England enter at oil into the mea
sure, they will carry through the leading houses
, In the American trade, were it for nolhirig but
I their owri *ofety and salvation. The two houios
' belicvsd id be alilo.al all events, (0 weather the
storm, are the Barings, arid Morrison <St Cryder.
Pei haps other* may be added, but two arc better
than none., ,
Yet in the midst of all this doubt am) tmror
. taiuty, failures continue both in England arid the
United States. Many small houses have fallen
in Liverpool, but the amount ofexcliange return
' cd is not so great as many expected. Probably
about SIBO (100 in all may be tbe maximum.
Our wor t accounts have yet to ba received in
England and the elleet to bo seen. It j< well
known llmt the recent measures nf Mi. Biddlo
were supposed, for two days in Wall street, lo
have been sufficient to slay the torrent after the
J s phs failed. Did it do si? Have we had any
cessation since Mr. Biddle came with Treating in
his wings 1 No such thing. Tho General disor
dor of the currency only came on after ho hud
adminislcred his medicine. Wcyct fearful that
some such effect will billow the panacea r fthe
Bank of England. The continual fall of cotton
in Liverpool, and the failing of houses gu on in
both countrier.
Our news from Boston and the East—from
. Albany and the West—are still gloomy and dis
agreeable, Several failures have taken place in
Boston, hut it is stated (list they are produced by
: their own weight— nol the same vein of disorder
! which afflicts New York or New Orleans. There
is a general stagnation of business all over New
England. Yet llicirpsper currency appears lo
be getting more current than our own. New En
gland bills are liegining to be received in small
quantities in Wall street.
In tho meantime, the negotiations in Wall
street are progressing very slowly in relation
to the redemption of Safety Fund bills. The
State Comp'.n Her, one of ihe Bunk Commission
ers, and several of the managers of the Western
Banks, nra in town bury about the matter. It
appears that they arc endeavoring to negotiate the
state stock recently ofi'ered, hut nut taken up, in
Albany, in order lo form a basis lo re loom the
bills of the western bunks. If tins thing heso,
wed.) nol know any term of reprobation auflicint
lystiong lo describe their conduct. The Bank
Commissioners and the Stale Treasury have no
right to mortgage the stale in order to propup
their institutions, nr hide Ihe folly nf their past
conduct. The Safely Fund Banks throughout
the stale might to have been kept in a strong
condition, so us lo be able always m redeem their
paper and make it at par in the city.
Meantime, the business scaaon on the canals
has opened with great eclat. This is a single,
particle of sunshine in a general gloom. The
great revulsion which agitates the country as yet
affects the higher systems of business—the great
speculators and monopolists in cotton, flour, hind
manufactures, and foreign goods. The loner
or middle ranks arc yet in a slate of comparative
activity. In the middle interest, and among the
small dealers, we find the germ of a more pros
perous reason than trio present.—Wo must have
more failures, both here and in England, before
the reaction shall he complete. The revulsion
will not cease till prices & values return lo their
old channels. As yet, the great, and fearful con
flict between the hanking systems of England
and Ihe United Stales has not come before Ihe
world, hut the day battle is rapidly approaching.
The failure* and Ihe crashing on both sides of (he
Al'an(ii« aro only tho skirmishers in motion at
the outposts. Frohahly hy the end of May or be
ginning ol June, wc shall know out fate exactly.
There is a prospect it may he moderated hy the
action of iho Bank of England, hut fears may ho
entertained of the ability even of that establish
ment to arre-t a more terrible crisis than we have
yet scon. The losses which our banks have sus
tained are already immense. It is calculated
that every hank in New Oilcans has lost its cap
ital by (lie failures in that devoted city. Hero
in New York, with probably over two hundred
failures, for sixty million at least, our banks must
have sustained a large loss of assets. The reac
tion from England of the recent events here,
which we may Lear in May or June, will involve
us in yet farther loss, even with all the aid Iho
bankoi England may give us. We are by no
means out of the woods.
Slocks yesterday wero variable—the United
Slates going up—tho Slate Bank stocks going
down—and the fancy stocks going every way.
