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.” Phi ilk Road I\l eel ins. 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 tweeu the Flint and Chattahoochee liv ers. On motion of Maj. Huson, the meet ing was organized by calling His Honor the Mayor to die chair, and requesting Thomas A. Swearingen to act as Secre tary. The chairman explained the object of the meeting in a brief and appropriate address—urging upon the consideration of the meeting the importance of Plank Roads to the commercial prosperity of the city, and of Sonth.-Wesiern Georgia. The meeting was then arltlressed by George W. Fish, P. L. J. May, and others in short, hut well timed and appropriate speeches, setting forth the advantages of Plank Roads, to Ogle thorpe and South-Western Georgia.— They maintained tlie practicability of the enterprise, and the ability anil w illing ness us the people front reliable infortua.. j lion obtained, to co-operate in the work. ; After which Major Huson presented the I following resolutions, which were read and unanimously adopted. Resolved, That we believe that the interests of our city and of all South- Western Georgia, may he materially en hanced by the construction of a system of 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, iof whom the Mayor of the city he the j chairman, lie appointed by the Chair, 1 whose duty it shall he to open a corres- ■ j poudeiice with gentlemen in South West Georgia, and other places of the Stale, I who may lie likely to co-operate with ns •, • , tin the objects ol tills meeting. 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 j PI auk Road from this cilv to some point in the lower counties. Whereupon the Chair appointed the following gentlemen a committee of correspondence under the first resolution :—W. T. Wilsoff, P. L. J. May, G. W. Fish, P. Cook, P. H. Oliver, Jno. P. Harvey, A. A Robinson, S. F. Miller and Col. O. C. Home, and the following gentlemen a Committee to obtain subscriptions :—W. T. Wil son, S. W. Blond” urth, G. W. Ash lmrn, P. M. Huson, W. B. Hill, B. A. Hudson and John V. Price, l Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting he published in the South West Georgian and Southern Democrat, and that the Albany Patriot be requested to copy. It was then on motion, Resolved, That i this meeting now adjourn to such day and ’ time, as may hereafter be designated by the Mayor. Win. T. WILSON, Chair’m T. A. Swearingen, Sec’ry.

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 with submit the following Report from the time l went into office up to the 16th day lof April. Cash received from persons com mencing business, $43,00 Cash received lor Fines, 58,00 Received for Retail License, 200,00 “ “ Tax for 1851, 1,21 Total Receipt, 302,21 Cash paid out lor office items, $1,50 For removing dead stock, 5,00 For chairs in Council room, 14,00 For corn and fodder to feed mules belonging to council, 10,00 For work done on wells, 12,00 43,25 Total amount received, 302,21 Total expenditures, 43,25 Deposited in Hank &.in Cl’k’s hands, 258,96 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. 01?” Gen. Taylor, on one occasion, being besieged by office-seekers, made the remark, that 1 some were doomed to appointment and some to disappoint ment.’ The greatest pleasure of life is Jove ; the greatest treasure, contentment ; the greatest possession, health ; the greatest ease, sleep ; and the greatest medicine, a true friend.
