C?” The following is an extract from 1
different portions of the report of the j
Committee on Military Atlnirs, submited
to the Senate by Mr. Shield*:
‘ Thus along our immense Atlantic coast
of over two thousand miles of roast line,
only eighteen points have ><’( been tom li
ed in our system of defence ; and on the
Gtilf, with a coast line of sixteen hundred
mites, only five points. They are indeed
tke points of vital and commanding im
portance ; embracing our largest cities,,
our best harbors, and our naval establish- |
menu, several of which have been provi- !
<led with two or mine works, and one—
New York city, tile great centre of onr ,
.Atlantic commerce—with quite a system j
of works.
There have been expended, in the re- 5
pairing or renewal of works in class A, ]
about three and one-liaif millions of dol
lars ; in tlie construction o( works in
clas B, about thirteen and one-quarter!
millions of dollars ; and in class C fnurj
millions. To complete all the repairs of]
class A. (many of which will he under-,
taken, before on the oc
cmlemv-’ ol hostilities,) will rrtjfire, ac-j
ciirdiiu' ji> ihe official about j
tlnee quarters ol a miltioiJJ to finish lliel
works in < lass B, about halt a million
mid those lit class G about five millions. j
In ’round n'onhers, nliqui twenty and j
tbrfesquarters million- have been, and six
nnd one-quarter millions are to he, ex- ‘
pended on other works, being twenty -sev
en millions in all. Sixty-nine works are
Included in three classes, requiring 6.-
093 guns, and war garrisons of 29, 725
men.
In regard to the winks included in the
three remaining classes, it is not proposed j
to tom b the greater part of them till a I
very remote period, when the population
and business of the country shall have
vastly increased, and the position indica
ted for defence shall have risen into im
portance.
Many of the estimates for these works
are presented rather to give a full view of
the subject, and show wltat probable ex
penditures I lie system will involve through
a long course ol years, than to designate
with certainty the exact positions to he
defended. The relative importance of
places varies. The channels of trade
vary. When places rise into importance,
the necessity ol defence will he consider
ed, and the necessary plans made and
•nlunilied to Congress. There are points,
however, in regard to which it may be
safe to affirm, that works will be required
at a comparatively early date : al the
entrance of the Cennebeck river, nn im
portant avenue on the coast of Maine,
leading to many populous places, and
connecting with a system of railroads,
which, in the event of war, wotdd be re
lied on to hind together the extended ter*
ritory of Maine ; thrust out, us she is, in.,
to the very heart of the provinces, and
making, as she does, communication from
those on the Atlantic to those on the lakes
very difficult during six months in the |
year. . _ !
Anew work will be required at Fort j,
Scammel; otherwise a naval power may!
seize Portland and secure the railroad to 1
Montreal. Portsmouth, having a great I
naval establishment, and a harbor never j
closed with ice, may require additional i
protection. Additional works have been !
already specially recommended for New
Bedford, the thiid city in the Union in
point of registered tonnage. • *
“ VVliat are the principles, therefore,
that .night to regulate the strength to be
given t< works ? Now , these works may
’ have two distinc t offices to perform. The)
‘•winst have batteries in the water-front to
prevent the passage of ships. Kecent
impToventents in steam navigation, make
it necessary to strengthen and enlarge
ibe batteries ; arming them with the
heaviest guns. They must have strength
enough on the l-ind frorts to hold out a
gainst any force which is likely to be
brought against them till succor arrives.
Toe increa-ing faci iiies ol transportation
enabling us more rapidly to concentrate
men and muni'inns ol war, enable us also I
to diminish the strength of these laud- j
p,.,, || , |i i- necessary that, in all cases, j
llieie should he at least strength enough
to resist a conp-de-niain, and compel an
ins oliug army to incur the delay of lead- j
iug lieav v guns, and ol’ placing them in
position against the works.
There aie undoubtedly positions which
ought to he protected against siege ; as
die mo.-t important harhois of I lie Pacific
coast ; the keys of die Gulf, to wit : Key j
West ait I Garden Key, commanding the
vast commerce ol the Mi-sts-ppi valley,
and controlling the course of the Gulf- 1
stream. The win ks now being construct-j
ed at these latter points are admitted, on !
all sides, to he necessary, and they)
should he finished without delay.’ * •
‘During the last few years, however, ;
our engineers have been resorting to;
smaller and cheaper constructions, in I
view of the vastly increased facilities of
concent rating military means. The plan |
of Fort Knox, as made in 1823, had I
double works on the land front ; two
ditches hidto he crossed, and two walls |
to be scaled, lo 1843 the plan was es
sentially modified ami reduced, thecro <n I
work being dispensed with, and the >’ t hh
of the ditches diminished; and, on this
1 reduced scale the work is now being con
structed. Tlie woiks at Fort Winthrop,
Governor’s island, Boston harbor; at
Black Rock near Buffalo, and those
proposed at Proctor’s Landing, are sim
ply towers, with puns in the covered
way or in water batteries at commanding
points. The guns at Fort Clinch, Cum
berland sound, Georgia, and Fort Gaines,
Dauphin island, Alabama, are not placed
in water batteries, inconsequence of the
j lowness of the ground, hut on the para
| pels of die work. The new work on Sol
] ler’s Point is on a shoal about half a mile
from slinre, where special arrangements
I are not necessary to resist siege. * *
I “ The principles of defence, however,
which have guided the governments of
i Europe, are in every respect inapp!ica
‘hie to our coasts. \Ve rest on two oceans,
fronting both Europe and Asia. Our
communication from ocean to ocean is
through the Gulf ami across the Isthmus,
, and we most haven naval preponderance
i both in the Gull and on the Pacific ; or,
jin case of war, our vast empiredrißill he
I liable to he cut in two andjour western half
j left t* the slow and uncertain succor to
I lie conveyed bv a three month’s land
: route. Our commercial interests on tlie
! Pacific will require a great naval depot al
| San Francisco, and those of the Guff
j another depot at Gaiden, Key, closing
! the narrow Florida pass, and controlling
the course ol the Golf-stream.”
“ The defences of Garden Key, al
ready commenced, should be completed
without delay ; ami those for San Fran
cisco, where all die navies of die world
can lido at anchor—the place atul refuge
of our Pacific w haling fleet, and die de
j stioed port /Lottie trade—should be pro*
j vided for as speedily as possible. Woiks
like these, which are absolutely necessary
should be completed without delay.”

Oglethorpe, April 15th, 1852.
In pursuanceofa call made by the May*
or, a portion of the citizens of Oglethorpe
met at the Council Chamber this even
ing. to lake into consideration die prac
ticability of constructing a Plank Road
commencing at Oglethorpe, and extend
ing in a south,or, south-western direction
to some point in the valley, lying be

Plank Roads—that the evenness of the
country—the economy of their construe*
linn—their convenience as a public high
way— and their effect in enhancing the
value of property in sections through
which they pass, indicate their utility
and adaptation to the wants of the public,
and especially to the fanning commun
ity.
Resolved, That the citizens of Ogle.,
tliorpe, will unite with the people of any
portion of South-Western Georgia in the
construction ofa Plank Road, or Roads,
from this place to any point between the
Flint and Chattahoochee livers, and that
they will contribute liberally towards the
construction of such roads.
Resolved, That the Mayor and Coun
cil, call a meeting of the citizens of Ogle
thorpe on the 15th day ol May next, and
ito extend a general in\itnlion to the citi
zens of South.. West Georgia to meet us,
and consult upon the practicability of
building sin'll roads, and to devise means
| to carry the same into effect.
On minion of George W. Fish E-q ,
the following resolutions, were read and j
adopted :
Resolved, That a Committee of nine,

I Resolved, That a Committee of seven,
of whom the Mayor he Chairman, he ap- \
I pointed by the Chair, for the purpose of
canvassing the City and vicinity, to as
eertnin what can lie done iu the wav of
I obtaining subscriptions to stock in a

05” Our paper lias been unavoidably
delay ed this week beyond the usual time
for publication on account of the non
arrival of a supply of paper which we
have ordered.
OuT* Last vvedt we puplished a polite
‘dunn,’ which we were led to do from an
absolute want of the money which we
have doubly earned by our year's labor.
We are sorry to say that not a solitary in
dividual lias responded. This is indeed
discouraging to a man who has no other
resource to draw a support for himself and
family from, than that us his own labor.
We sincerely hope that those whom we
have served will remember that we are
exceedingly anxious to render to every
iiian tlial which is due, and we can only
do this by receiving that which is now
due us.
Mr. Editor: I have noticed a short
article in your issue of the 9tli'inst, over
the signature of “Tax Payer,’’ making
some enquiries as to the financial condi
tion of our C'itv.
I recognise fully the right of every
tax payer lo he informed on the matters
alluded to, when he expresses his desire
in a proper manner. As to the failure of
the “old Council” to make proper re
ports, as complained of, the present Board
are not responsible for that, and 1 must
add in reply to Tax Payer that as far as
we have examined the old Books we are
not prepared to make a Report. But
the Books that we found are with our
Clerk subject to public inspection,
h i* true the present Conned have fixed :
the salary of the Mayor, Marsha! and I
Clerk, the majority of tlie Council not
being interested ii the pay of either of
fice, which is some guarantee that the
thirtir was done under proper influences, j
As to the other enquiry about the Or- i
dimmers of force, there were nearlv 2£
columns <i| our Ordinances published in ,
the same paper with Tax Payer’s article,
second column from his communication,
and the pul. lira lion will he continued un
liil the lucal laws are all published, 1
In conclusion 1 refer to the accompa
nying Report for a more particular de.
tail of the acts and doings of the “New
Council;”
In compliance with my duty / here

Your obedient servant,
W. T. WILSON, Mayor.
Mr. Editor. —Over the signature of
‘ Tax Payer,’ iu your paper J notice
some (minted inquirers respecting the fi
nancial condition of the city of Ogle
thorpe, to which J am not unaware of ihe
justice of the inquiry and obligation to
render, as far as lies in my power a full,
concise and clear account. On I lie 21 st,
November, last / was elected clerk lo fill
the vacancy occasined by the resignation
of P. G. Arrington Lsq since which
time 1 propose answering Tax Payer and
all parties interested lor all monies receiv
ed and expended in behalf ol the city,
refering him and them to my books now
in the hands of Tims. A. Swearingen
present Clerk, for every item of receipts
and expenditures.
I beg leave to offer as my reason for
dating rny report no farther back than the
21st November, that no report or ac
count current was ever furnished me by
my predecessor, neither could I make up
one from the books as turned over to
me; and bv w’ay of answering for the
Pi esident and Commissioners then in of
fice, 1 will further stale that a Committee
to investigate the hooks of the former
Clerk and Marslial, was under appoint
ment when 1 went into office ; which com
mittee from time to time has been indulg
ed because they could not arrive at any
definite conclusion, w hereupon they were
discharged, and one Commissioner hired
to look into their standing ; all which ap
pears upon the minutes and to them I
respectfully refer enquirers:
By receipts from persons commen
cing business, $150,00
By receipts for Dray, Retail Li- x
cense, &,c. 82,50
By receipt from Fines collected. 30,00
By receipts from M. B. Potts,
Marshal, jk 36,73
By receipts for one Ware-House
Tax, 25,60
$324,23
Paid out by sundry orders as per
vouchers, 282,79
Balance cash nn hand. 41,44
$324,23
It will be difficult to arrive at the in
debtedness with accuracy owing to the
fact that the books prior to 21m Nov. last
show no assets nor liabilities. 1 is
sued, while in office, city bonds to P. M.
Huson for $ 145, and to Robert Carson
for $662 —all to become due on the first
day of May, bearing interest from Ist of
January last; and to Thomas H. Moody
for 8150, now past due—s9s of which
was paid by me, leaving a balance of $55
unpaid. A\\ these were contracted prior
lo my election for cleaning out certain
streets named therein.
There are other debts by open accounts
which must at this state of affairs be de
termined only by presentation, and to
that and 1 would recommend that the May
or issue his advertisement requiring all
persons holding such claims to present
them. Jno. B. Arnold holds a claim hv
contract for building the Guard House,
but owing to some failure of considera
tion the character of which I am unable to
determine, the President and Commis
sioners of last year declined passing anv
order in favor of that claim. These re
marks I trust will prove satisfactory to
Tax Payer, and for farther particulars
he is refered to the honks themselves and
to the Report of his Honor the Mayor.
E. W. GILLEN Ex C. C.
Sheridan, the scholar, wit, anti spend
thrift, being dunned by a tailor to pay
al least the interest on his bill, answered,
that it was not his interest to pay the
principal, nor his ptincipal to pay the in
terest.

being besieged by office-seekers, made
the remark, that 1 some were doomed to
appointment and some to disappoint
ment.’
