Major General Worth.—'The news of the death of this distinguished officer fell upon us yesterday with painful suddennes*. But a few week* ago, he left this city, looking ihe picture of good health and manly vigor, to enter upon his duties on the Texan frontier. We saw him last, whilst silting fur his portrait, by Mr. M. K. Kellogg aud could not but admire his flue soldierly hearing, his fia-hing eye, inte.li. gent face, and determined mouth. His family consisting ot his lady and daughters, had just joined him, from the North, in this ci y. They accompanied him to Texas. We have not now time, or space, to sketch the file, services, and character of General Worth. He was ono ol the rno.-t perfect soldiers in the army. Enter, ing it a* a private, lie *eon attracted the notice General freott, and by his encouragement, and his own merits, rose rapidly in tank. grin, tag many laurel* be!ore he had attninod full roauhootl.

A remark in the late letter of Solon Robinson to the Editor of this paper, in relation to the superior water privileges of Augusta, has called forth a counter state incut from a correspondent of the last “Times,” which goes far to prove the pre-eminence of this location over all others in the State, if not in the South, for mcnufac curing purposes. After stating the advantages of the f ratlin roclc to be taken from the foundations of facto ies on our River bank, (which .Mr. Robinson supposed to be un item of expense) to whiuh Augusta was not subject,) n constructing tiho hoses of the’ factory buildings, the pits for the wheels, and the wall of the race or canal, this correspondent then gives a comparative view of tho ex pcnsi's of getting ready for operations here and in Au rusta —greatly to tho advantage of Columbus—as fol lows : “ Wc will now more statistically notice, what tirobably, he has not thought of. Forty thousand do! Ia is will cover nil expenses, past anti to come, in command hr the whole power of the river at Columbus. Augusta has, as wo understand, already expended $175,0U1t to command a bout onr-thiid as much water. Before she can command ns much as wo have commanded, she must widen her canal and expend h w much ? would she not agree to give $lO t.OOtl and say no more about it ? Aga : n ; as a specimen ; Col. Carter’s Factory building here, now com pleted, or nearly so, as well and as strongly built as any in Augusta or elsewhere, cost SII,OOO. Tile Factory building in Augusta.being only 45 per cent large-, cost, as we understand between $32 and $35,000 !! If Col. Cnrier s build ng were as large as tho one in Augusta, it would cost only about $15,000 !!! A small portion of this vast and (Terence, may be set down to our superior c conomy ; but the great body of it is due, first to tho fact that wc can sell good brick at from $2 50 to $2 75 per thousand. Second, to our having cheaper lumber.— Third, to our having nleuty of granite at hand; and last, our rock foundation, superior soil, aud the perfect adapta bility, natural more than artificial, of our Factory sites, to the purposes for which nature and art designed them. Ono more d.aft upon the recollection of our friend Solon, and wc have done. We claim for Columbus, that it is a very healthy location, without saying that Augus ta “is a tick y p ace,” and wo ran buy Cotton cheaper, and sell the manufactured goods higher, than Augusta can ; and this must always be the caso, from the nature of things unalterable. A reference to the Prices Cur rent of the two places, and a short calculation, will show that th s difference alone, will bo equal to the legal inter est of tho capital invested. We shall soon be connected with Augusta, Macon aud Savannah by Railroad. Let the pi ople of those cities who have money, invest it here, until all of our water power shall bo employed. It will be time enough then, to turn their attention to places, less inviting to capital and enterprise.” In addition, we subjoin a .cw items of statistics as to tho extent of tho Water Power in this place, as furnished by that very competent Engineer, Chat. E. Leonard, author of Mechanical Princip a,” .a -valuable work cn Steam and Water Power, Manufacturing, Machinery, Ac. Mr. Leonard’s calculations are from data furnished by himself eshrte'm Coojtubus, a year or twtfago, and arc presumed to be accurate . Effective fall of water, 14 feet; length of dam 500 feet 4 depth of water in eamc at usual low-water mark, 16 inches—giving 2623 cubic feet of water passiug over dam per second. This quantity of water applied to overshot wheels, at the rate of 50 cubic feet to 53 homo power, gives total of 2777 horse power. The number of wheels, 14 feet long, necessary to transmit 2777 horse power is 72, at the rate of 3ri.2 tho horse power of each wheel. The uamVr off ame spindles, with looms, on No. 14 yarn, that said power is capable of driving, is 194,877, at the rate of 142.5 horse power for every 10,000 spindles. Tbe number of pounds of cotton that 194,877 spindles, on No. 14 yarn, will manufacture per week, at tho rate of 1336 Iba. per day, for 4000 frame spindles, is 8016—which give* 390,534 per week for 194,877 spindles, or about 48,800 bales par year, increased by the addition of from 12 u> taper cent, from waste. , The No. of operatives to .operate 194,877 spindles on No. 14 yarn, will bo 6431, at the rato of 330 lor each I 10,000 spinfflea The amount paid per -week for operatives to -work 194,877 spindles, will be #31,180, at the rate of SI6OO per week, for 10,000 spindles. Thus it will be seen, that Columbus is without a rival ia the facilities for manufacturing, Lowell, Mass, boasts of its 900 operatives, but we have tho water power to em ploy more than six times that number, if necessary. In our neat, we shall endeavor to show what progress has boc made ia the application ofettr immense water priv. Oeges to tho business of manufacturing. A Maj. John H.

Outraoeocb.—About the last of March, a man of thd | name of domra Dailey, an itinerant vender of erosive soup; ! corn-curcr, Ate. was committed to prison by Judge Alcx-v aiul.-r, on a charge of stealing $li()0 from the saddle bags', oi one J* raxnnt U . Jo’.ts, hoiae-d.ovor from Tennessee, I j then lodging at the Planters’ Hotel in tills city. The ac- i , eußed had previously been brought before John Quin, Esq. 1 und d.sehurgcd for want of sufficient evidenc?. But on ] , affidavit of the prosecutor there, appeared sufficient rea- j ’ son to commit the accused for trial. This came on last ! week, and it leaked out that the mnn June tt who pretend- j ! cd to have had his money stolen, had lost it at a house of | ill-fame down town, by gambling, Ac. Os course no bill 1 I was found by the Grand Jury, and Ualley was discharg- i 1 cd. His accuser, however, got wind of the coutso things I wore taking, and quietly sloped to the Alabama side of the rivor, whence he sent over for his horses and baggage, on receiving wh'cli he departed to parts unknown. The scoundrel should be followed to the ends of the earth nml’ i punished for the gross outrage committed on an innocent man. Bailey lias been iu prison near two mouths on this fi'seehnrge—his business interrupted—his fair fame 1 blasted, besides being subject to considerable expense— •* all to gratify tho whim or prevent the exposure of wickedness of his accuser ! Truly it is a hard case for Daileys and oo that ndmis of no alleviation, save fram, public sympathy and a good conscience ! A Vacancy.—We understand that an election will be held at the pump-room of the juvenile “11. & 1,. Company,” on Saturday evening next, at 9 o'clock, to elect an assistant Engineer, in room of one of the officers who has left the city, fdr the sea son. Tho lollowinu candidates are in Humiliation for the pos t:— Seribleriu O’ rDolr, jr., Hurry Pashull, E.q , Knick erbocker Spangle, Edward Demijohn, Ssiuuel Stickton, and Jeremiah ■ link Marcus—ngniu. This correspondent ol the Times ” says we have mistaken the purport anil spirit of his former article, and rather insinuates that the “ wilfolness or other iee ”ol that mistake depends on our “capacity to understand English prose.” In other words if our capacity is good, then the mistake is urilfil, and vice tersa ! Well, we will now give our readers a chance to understand some of this “prose,” for them.-elves, and if they cant tot sec the “ cloven foot ” of “ Mar cus,” we give it up that we are ignorant of “syntax nod pro-oily.” 11 e says, ly way ol correction ol our “ error, - ’ as follows: “As to his sage admonition to “ Marcus” to be ware, lest he should unwillingly condemn a “ moiety oi the great Democratic party of Georgia, 1 cun as sure tlie Cfchtheman that the dissatisfaction with the present Executive i* confined t a small nomlier. ) have no idea that a corporal's guard could be mus tered in opposition. “ i he sole reason why I mentioned Gov. Towns in my communication was that 1 might not seetu to have overlooked the Governor's election. ” But if unwavering fidelity to Democratic princi ciples--ability ot a Idjjh order—moral worth, and an unaffected love ol nld-tnahioned republicanism, can c.onler a claim to a nomination, Georg* W. Towns is unquestionably emitted. And as previously stated, it we should ill defiance of loug established .usage push aside an able und faithful public servant, de .eat would be inevitable, and 1 am not sure but that \ we would desrve it.” Two things strike us in the foregoing, as plain as a brickbat. First, tl o ass urance that a “corporal's guard'’ can not be mustered in opposition to Gov. Towns, and ►ddly, the implied threat tbutif his “ unquestionable” claims to re-in miration are passed over, the democ racy will bedCieateil, an.t desert* in he! Whew ! we wonder il there is no’ other man in the party fit for Governor, hut the present Excellency ! We de ny tlie asumption, in toto. Wc believe that there aroxuany democrats who will run belter than Col. Towns, owing to srvcral causes, one of which, only, we will name, since we are forced to it.— We have reliable information that leading Demo* crats in Early, Randolph, Jones, Monroe, Sumpter and in Cherokee, who warmly supported Col. Towns before, are now as warmly opposed to his re-election, and that this opposition has its foundation in the ttn fulfUl'td pledges of his Excellency, in relation tn ap- I pointments! We have also been certified, that it] Col. T. i* not re-nominated, he and his friends will not go with zeal into the support of tho nominee ol tlie Convention ! This, in fact, is the English of the language of “Marcus” in toe loregoing extract, and its plain intent in, whether designed or not, to fnree the party in a re-nominationof his Excellency. We shall see whetlier the game will be worth the can die. | The Cbolejo.—Neailv all of tlie Western cities are now undergoing the scourge ( this pestilence Judge Brough, late Col. jßrough. of Cincinnati, died of the disease on the 10th inst. Most of the steamers from New Orleans have scattered the malady far and wide.

But admitting that it only pays 7 per cent—the stock of the city will then always bo “7‘Selextbln at par value, the 7 per cent rate of interest be l higher than the legal interest generally obtained by , capital.s; out of the IState, and almost double that re served in England. In this view of the actual profit* of the road, wo judge it wise for the city to aid in tho work, ( because the price of real estate in the city will thereby .-b’ kept at present rates of valuation, which is an impor tsnt gain. But this is not all that the road will mccom comphsh. It will retain and increase the bus ness of the pl.ice Hnd enhance the value of properly of every di-serip | tion. along the whole line. Lands near the contemplated : Ralroad in Tennessee that eim and, a year since, have been for 91 per acre, are now worth from $3 to $5.! Ido with laud? in Cherokee, Georgia. Tlie value thereof j is greatly enhanced, and this result will, we believe, be ] 1 tound to be a general one wherever Railroads have been I constructed. But our neighbor haips much upon tho oppression of tliis tax ujon “the owner of an humble home,” who is obliged to “stint his wife and children” of the necessa ries of life, in 01 der to pay it. This is nothin? more nor less than “clap trap.” It will not stand investigation.— (The poor owner of an “humble house” in Columbus must have employment iu order to live. This he could not do if Columbus goes into a decline, as she is l.kely to do with out a Railroad. He must buy corn and meat for his family, even if unable to procure “white bread.” Well, in us Boe how the poor 11,011 uow suffers for want of a 1 Railroad to Burncsvilie. Com and com-meal are each “01 tli 95 cts to $1 per bushel iu this market. In Walk ier county, we undeistai.d, it can be bought for 15 cents I—takon to the Railroad for 15 more, and sent here, had jwc a road from Bamesville, for 15 cents additional ex pense—making a total of 45 cents. In this one item, (each housekeeper would thus be able to get two bushels lof corn for the price of one ! So of other items, as But- Iter, meat, Flour, Irish Potatoes, Apples, Ac., wlncii couid jbe delivered here by Railroad, at pi ices to 5u per cent Jess than that now paid. But agaiu, each merchant ,who ships goods from Macon, pays 87j cts. per lut) ibe. freight, whereas, by Railroad, it wou>d not exceed one half that sum. Os course, the merchant has to put on an iailditiousl per cent to meet this expense, and tho con jetliner of tin good s has to pay it. But were there a Rail- JARf, the merchant could savflkii other rospecto. He votild get hi# goods in season and at short nolice. He -woiiM no* need *- fc—4 much deadstock on hand, and r could offbid to sell cheaper. In this way both mtTUniM ‘ and purchaser would hivbenefincd, except indeed, in a few cases, where the f/rtner having large capital, sells to planters on time, at 23 to s<> per cent advance on market prices. In these rare cases, the merchant would be in jured by a Railroad, as it wouki tend to break tip his mo nopoly of the planter s custom by enabling the latter to at ud his cotton to an Atlantic port tuid realize thereon, as his necessities might demand. In short, every ciass of our citizens isinterested in this [road being built, and among these the farmer not the ‘least. Even in the most selfish view of the subject, when /the lalier wishes to keep up the maiket for Columbus for his produce, to the highest rates, and docs not wish to br.ng farmers fiom a distance into competition w.th him, the advantage of the road will more than compensate him for any loss which that competition may bring about. Ho will get more for his cotton and pay less for his groce ries aud dry goods. Hw wonderful, then, is the stupid ty and selfishness of certain p.uuteis, on the railroad route, who object to the road passiug through their lauds without desiring exor bitant remuneration therefor. In some cases they claim more damages thau their whole p aces were worth, be fore the road was located ! Verily such patriots deserve to be specially remembered by the citizens of Co.umbus, [and if we are furnished with their nnmea, we will do our part to make them feel the just consequences of their ex tortionate disposition!

News by Telegraph to the Charleston ajid Augiota papers. the (tailed Jade wince.” In our paper of the 3d inst., in an article upon the sub ject of the neat Governor, we took occasion to rxpreis I ourselves, as follows, concerning two of the persons put forward at candidates for the Democratic nomination:'— “ As to candidates, there ia any quantity of rash patty —but we believe that iteo have been named in the Whig ranks, for one in the Democratic. Among ethers, in the latter, the name of Hou. J. H. Lumpkin, of Floyd, ia pressed with mneh real by his Cherokee friends. So al so is that of Mr. Cooper, a young lawyer of Dahionega. The Mountain District is, wc think, eutithm to a show ing this heat, aa there is the stronghold of the Democra cy—but we pray ihcm not to think either of one who has not'tarried at Jericho,'or of one who has not signed the Southern Address The latter will be the dead weight of a nether millstone to the party, especially if the ’ add.tioual load of that Oregon bill, ia put upon ita candi date ! We want no such grievous weights to carry.— Whatever may be the excuse for these acts of omission and commission, we are sure that many Democrats will decline supporting a man for the office of Governor, who ia charred with them.” In addition, we stated that wc “had no enemies to pun ish nor friends to reward,” but would “give our support { -to the man best qualified, by integrity and talent, to fifl the station, irrespective of any personal predilections we might afterwards form on the subject, as then wc had none whatever.” For this candid expression of our views, we have been violently assaulted by a little 8 by 10 sheet of upper Georgia, that has set itself up as the standard of Simon P ire democracy, in general, and as the defender of Cos). Lumpkin's fame in particular. We are charged Ist, with travelling out of our way to ‘‘give indulgence lo some ill natured and malevolent feelings” against Col. L., and 2dly, with “ trailing along in the rear’of other presses of the State, picking up such refuse matter as had ceased to be of moment or interest to the patrous of the more im portant journals.” To only one of these charges (the Ist) do we think it necessary to make any formal denial. Instead of having any prejudices or malice towards Col. Lumpkin, we have aiways had a high respect for him as a gentleman and a Democrat, but that is no reason why we should under take to support him in all hia acts, while a Representative in Congress, or seek to elevate him to the office of Gov ernor, in the face of serious objections to him os an avail, able cand Idate for that station I No one but a oervilo lickspittle politician, who has neither mind of his own to discover truth, nor brains enough to go |h the house when it rains, couid reasonably take exception- to the remarks above quoted, inasmuch a. their design yeas palpable and aSOVe Board —vii : —tiHptmmne the ■citissm nr. ard bearer”of the Democratic party, who was the least liable to assault and objection from the enemy ! We still believe that Col. Lumpkin is not the man that can best rally the Democracy, for the reasons stated in our paper of the 3d inst. Several democratic presses besides this journal, have taken grounds against those who re fused to sign the “Southern Address.” The vote on the Oregon Bill also been the theme of much censure, from men of both parties. W# had, likewise, on several occa aions, denounced the action of the late President, for signing said Bill, as our files will slicv.-. How then, could we consistently support a man for Governor, on whose shoulders a double political sin is justly laid ; and where in are we to blame for expressing a hope that the De mocracy would not, in the ensu ng contest, be compelled to hear any unnecessary burden* of this soit ? As to our “ trailing along in the rear of other presses, picking up refuse matter,” dec., no one who knows any thing of our course would ever have so insinuated. The contrary is the fact. W e are not oue of that sort who “trail arms” after self-constituted file leaders. Nor are Mwe conscious of ever having waited for our “cue” from ashington or Milledgcville, before venturing to speak out, upon topics of public interest. We plead “not guil tymoreover, to the charge of filling our paper with refuse political matter, such as Buncombe congressional speeches, apologetics) “Addresses to constituents” dtc., although sometimes requested so to do. This, however, is a mere matter of taste, ib which our subscribers only arc specially interested, and of which this impertinent scribbler has no right to speak, and we shall, therefore, not notice it further. We have, however, a word to say in conclusion, in response to the following paragraph, re flecting upon us, personally. Says this standard sheet: “ We do not intend to enter into any controversy with the Editor on this or any other subject, nor must he sup pose that we commit ourselves to such a course by this reference to his paper. Far be it from our purpose to elevate him and Ins paper from that obscurity, to which by common consent, it has been doomed during its pro fitless career and bap-hazard existence. His aspirations lor notoriety cannot be gratified through our instrumen tality. Wc stand, however, prepared to defend Colonel Lumpkin upon both the charges here made against him, and when summoned to the lists by ‘a foenaan worthy of our stool’ shall not fail to make a prompt response.” The egotism and self-complacency of this young fledg ling of democracy, whose paper has jnst reached its tenth number, art truly marvellous I If the Editor had been a Nestor of the press, like Father Ritchie, and nsed to marshaling the serried hosts of the democracy into battle array—whipping in here'and whipping out there—en couraging the timid and coercing-the laggard—and who, by “common consent,” had been constituted General Dictator of the forces—he conld not have taken upon himself more aire than this puny whipater hat, in the matter before us. Hi* an-ogauco is as insufferable as his vain-gloriousness is contemptible. Jerusalem! But that would be an eletation from obscurity which hia rare genius conld confer.
