Anoilu'r ciicuiii*'taticc sutjj^estcd by the p»*cul!ar natnre of our southfrn coun try, gives an advanta^;? lo Railroads in coiT'pat isdt) wiih Canals. All cur |)rin- cipal rivets I'iijiinatc in the mountains lu'ui’ the western extrei^iily of the stair, atiil have their channels, considered gen erally, nearly parallel one to another. Hence tilt* land boiween these rivers, lies in ridi^e.s, from the western extremities of the sCite towards the ocean, 'i'hcse I idj^es ( ften form lonf; Icvj 's, without iiuich interruption hy streams or valiies. II is i.j'yon such ridj^es, that it is well kno*' ii .lonreol our host roads aie lormed. A Hadroad laid olV by a s'iill'ul and pi'ac- tical *'n?[ineer with reference lo this form ofoiir cnutitry, would, in all probability, liave ^leoler advantu|;es for so long a line LiH ‘JjO Ol noo miles, than nature has besti/ued oti most olher parts of tlu world. Were a Canal attempted from thr same distance in the interior, the loni.; summers of our souihern latitude, drvin^^ up all • ur smaller slreanu, and rPh.'-ermt;; very precarimis, supplirs of w.»t.r even from the larjjer tribula* ies, W( tild make it necessarv for such a Canal, that it mij,^ht be fed ^ ith cei'tainty, to eontine its co.urse lo Ihe margin of some nijiti river. Thus ii wnnUl l>e perpetujl- ly intersecting ti\e deep ravines which of'cur at small distances along the buiiks of a principal river. The conse(iueT)ces must be, numerous and large einbunk- ments, deep cuttings, bridges or aque ducts, rocky excavations, locks and cul verts, all (»f which are occasions ol’the I'.eaviest expeiises ifi the ct^mpletion of Can,.ls. A RiiliOid alonp- exiensive ridt^es, getier.diy tending towards the point of flestination, must l)e allended wi’li signal ..dvjiiiagrs in escaping most of these eiib^rrassing ol;structions. 7, It is now ascertained (hat Railways mu} be construcie(' wi h all the necessary strength and tirrnness, out of wood, at a cost little mure tlian half of that which mu' ! In ini'ui'red in making them of i iron. If this be true in the n.it hern pai t our I oiintry, it must be emii'enily so of ouroAM siaie. 1 he lasting and sub stantia! pine aljoundingin our hiVt coun try, anti ilie no less solid oi k ol' the wes tern [)urt, would leave us nothiiig to de'iie in compaciness, durability, and cht apjiess of materials. The work loo, vtuilu be cf a sort that could bt executed by our own people, under the tiireclion of an Engineer, as well as by any ihai could be found in other countries. It is comput ed that the interest of the money which must l)e pa'ul for the iron more than lor the wooden Railway, is more than sufii- cieiii to ck’fray the expense of renewing it, at the time when it shall become neces sary. The cunse(iuence must b«- that tlu* latter is the cheaper of the two in the end, and it recpiires far less funds for its iii’st accompliaiimeni. It has ai)|>eared then, ftom the whole comparison l^erc made, that for m;my reasons Kaihvr.ys are preferable lo Ca nals. I Canals must generally he much longer than Railways, between the same exireme j)oinis. 2. A mile of Railway, evi'n if It be of iron, is less cosilv than a mile of Canal. 3. As large bui dens cati be i-ansporled with a given power in a given time, ujxm the one as U|K>ii the oilier. 4, Tne perennial, that is, the continual expense of maintaining a Canal wiih biidgts and repairs is greater ihaii t^al wltic!.

National Advocate.] I'HO'J KC riNG DU’I IKS. The following is from the New-York Evening Rost: “ If any truth on e:irth is self-evident, it is that the duty is a part ol the cost.” 'I'he above pro[>osiikju is illustrated in the sanu* paper a.s foUows : “ If tin n coarse cloths conid be sold without this portion of expense, for one dollar per yard, and lUO pir cent, duty is tlu-n imposed, we should snj)pose even .Mr. Niles might under- staml that this same eloth could not be sold fur less than Iwo dollars. If the above self-evident truth will ap ply to coarse woollen cloths, why will it nH apply to other manufactured articles? Take,for instance, coarbe cottons, theuni- foi iii tjualniesof which wiil enable us to cempare prices with sulFicient accuracy.

Did not ihe cos of the ariicle decline ? They can now he boipht for from 6 to 7 cents per lb. It must be, therefoi e, there is a new species of “ self-cvukiit truth” discovered.

W e have news up ty the 10th July from Bogota, which states that the extraordi nary powers of Bolivar have been revoked and iliere is every disposition to resist the Ijolivian party, if hostile to the Consti tution. Bolivar, from'the las’ accounts, was al Carthugena with GOOO trot>j)s, am! Ui danila from Maracaibo ai Cucnia, with 200U more. I cannot believe there is a dupositiun to create an internal war, yet by many it is believed ihut Bolivar’s view s have been to subvert the Co stitution and establish a Government v" more consol idated powers. This department appears to be decidedly for a Confederacy of slates upon the principle of the United States. The Congress liavft fixed i!>e cabling of a general Convention for March next, lo endeavor, if an oj>cn rujiture should not previously lake place, to settle all the j djfl’crences of the country. Report says' that the Liberator is much displeased at * ihe Congress, and was determined to march against it, in consequence of their order to the citizens of Colombia not to obey any other authority than Die ordei s i and laws of C^)tigress. A proclamation i to this effect had been made Maracai:i bo. I cannot believe that Bolivar, withj hostile intentions, will oppt>se the Ctni-1 gress. V'arious reports for some months have b-en in circulation of the suf)pjsed or intended interference of Greai Bi iiain in the political ..Ifairs of this country.

I’he following singular fact is related by Mr. Aslinmn, (yolonial Agent at I.ibtria, in a recent communication received at Washington City : “ An excursion of one of our people in to the inierior, to the distance of about I iO miles, has’led to the discovery of the populousness and comparative civiliza tion of this District of Africa, never, til! wilhin a few months, even conjectured by inysell.

The particu lars of both I hope to be able to jireseni to the Biard by the next conveyance.— It\ the mean time, it may not be without interest lo observe, that we are situated within 50 leagues of a country, in wjiich a highly improved agriculture prevails; where the horse is a common domestic animal ; where exiensive tracts of lands are cleaned and enclosed ; where every at tide absolutely necessary to cond'orta- !ile life, is produced by the soil, or man- lifuctured by the skill and indu^lt y of the inluibitants : where the Arabic is used as a written lai;;>U‘‘K*' •" ordinary commerce of liiV ; w here regular and a- bundant markets ;ind fairs are kept, and w here a degree of intelligence and par Eji.h'i!va:j:iincc rt.'inl:i'u.—In dramatic pie'e lalriy puMisliei!, old (Jeiierai Dci'- Ivj’iis pcrM!^;iing Af!ju!;nt \'iiiVv!it to inciny—‘‘she i'. an an:-el,” says tiie Gen er.il. “1 V. ant an anm'l—I s!;ould not know what to do with an .ini,''el',” is ihi leplv ol till* ^i'li'le heartfd Adjutant.— “She is 1*11 sweetness,njoins the (Jeo- cral : •• S(; is a !)ee!i:\c {ai!s»vet s Viru rni Imj’ ll do. siuji i'oll »'v tiKit i like tj UiriTsl my head in’o it.” S'es’n Ij.iats now rairy pas':enpT'>, i'i'Oii!

The New York Evening Post appears to be displeased with us for the senti ments which we venlured to utter son^e days ago, respeciing Mr. Canning} and it is probable that the editor of the other American New York paper, the Statesman^ who dressed it in mourning, on the occa sion of the British politican’s death, is still more dissatisfied with our temerity. The Post appeals to the sentiments and proceedings ol England, with regard to the unhappy occurrences ; as if we were not entitled, on this side of the Atlantic, to judge for ourselves on such subjects, and should at once yield, without any re sistance, to the torrent of panegyric which may be rolled from the British presses when a favorite political leader descends inio the grave. But we act upon (juiie a difTerenl theory. II wo h.ave studied the character and conduct of the defunct, with opportunities and materials nearly as good as those which his coun- II )men possessed, we do not hesitate to decide by our own lights. Moreover, w'e know that, immediately on the de mise of an eminent and powerful public man, a vast haze of eulogy arisc.s, and envelops his name, in his own land, and may well reach another, using the same language, so as to cloud the vision of the tlioughiless or ignorant, and the common admirers of shining parts and brilliant reputaiion. 'I'he atmosphere, indeed, gradually I'lears, and w hen, what we may call the evaporation offlattery, sympathy or regret ceases. History employs her discernment in ascertaining, and her pen cil in delineating the good and the evil in (lualiiies and actions. As to such a statesman as the late British premier, we enquire or reflect, before we pronounce upon the degree in which Americans should lament him in tha'. capacity, what the cause of free !om generally owed to hin>, and what were .his dispositions and piatis in reference lo our ou'n country. It ha()per.ed to us to hear all tusbest speeches dur.ng lhre» sessions of Parliament, when all his fa ulties were in their utmost eni 'gy arid lustre and we have, for at least seven teen years past, cotistantly read the re ports of t!ie debates in that body, and ihe public annals of (ireai Britain during the same period. Thus, so far as our humble ptnvi rs go, we may decide i)ri- niarilyiipon his lilies to the admiration of mankind and the regrets of America. W'e need not repeat,.like jidrrois, the descant, however loud and oiHusive, raised to his memory in England, where so many have been prompted to join the thorus by feelings and interests and opi nions which are foreign to us as citizens of this republic. We enjoyed deeply his fine declamation, his ready wit, his felicitous humour, and his spirited bear ing, in Ihe House of Commons ; we have derived as much pleasure as any rea der from his early yeux and ihe eloquent parts of his printid speeches; we acknowledge that he spouted admira bly, wrote elegantly, joked irresistibly, and passed an txemplarary private life : ~Bui we contend that as a politician he was an adventurer, who first attached liimself, from calculation, to the strongest side in the.Bniisb parly divisions;—that he continued until within a year or two of his death, to be the sturdiest advoqate oi the Tory svstem of administration ;— ihat the comtitulmnalistsoi Spain and Portugal were never assisted, but on ihe contrary, have universally believed themselves betrayed, by the British cab inets to which he belonged that he directly discountenanced or stigmutizi*d their struggles ;—thai he expressly dis claimed any motive of action, other than the advancement of British interests, in establishing friendly relations with the new Spanish American States;—that he strenuously opposed every plan or idea of political reform for CJreat Britain, ex cept Catholic Enmm-ipfitioii, to which he never made and never would have made any sacrilice beyond a florid speech ;— and that he indulged himself in the House of Commons and in orticial papers in tlu keenest sarcasms against these United States. Let the debates in Parliament ai’d the public documents be consulted, and abundant pr(s»of will be found of all that we here allege. We rest upon text, facts, the unanswered statements of tin Whigs whom he branded and cufiVd un mercifully lor a long series of years, and finally courted only because their succoui was indispensable against the enmity ol some of his jealous and more inveterate Tory colleagues. 1 he genius of Canning was doubtless bright and exalted ; he could philoso phix? as a political speaker; he could leason with much force and ingenuity in party controversies in the Commons ; he was a hig4ily gifted and cultivated rheto rician, and a poignant, classical writer. Vet he was inferior to Put in depth, so lidity and efliciency ; to Fo\, in cogent, rajiid diaiiiE-Hcs and immediate force of rcpiitatio!’.; :o Duvkc. inTno\vIccij^e, \vic. toWvndham, in r» fined pie isantry,, terseness and subtile anlays.s ; jnd I ally to Sheridan and Grattan in \ht^', .-•. speclive excellences. He has kft n*^ thing behind him, at all equal, v^e tnighj say, properly comparable, to the remain! of either of those statesmen. WVthiii- that the late Lord Londonderry was qui' as well informed in his sphere, and cvtf a better manager of ihe House of Com' mons J and we are fcure that he was judicious in his diplomatic views and in^ tercourse. The jests, taunts, bo^&tsand tropes of Mr. Canning, levelled ultimate ly at the great powers of the European continent, served to exasperate and alie. natc those whosR good will at least it was the interest of Great Britain to preserve and whom Lord Londonderry contrived to render willingly ministerial to htr schemes of ambition and cupidity. Jn alluding to the particular speech on Per. tuguese afTairs, by which he specially af. fronted the Holy Alliance, we can scarcc- ly regard it as a merit, that he published that speech so modified and niuiilated as to be no longer the same in purport and efl'ect. lie deliberately retracted in w rit- ing what he had deliberately uttered in oral debate. At one moment, he was seen to brave and threaten the contineu- tal monarchies ; at the next, to aim at counteracting the operation ofhisowj ostentatious endeavors. An opinion has been circulated ihal the death of Mr. Canning may remove some of the impediments which stood in the way of a commcrcial intercourse be tween this country and the Colonies of Great Britain. It is .generally understood that the disposition of Lord Goderich the new Premier, is more favorable lo the United States than was that of his pre decessor ; and the suggestion has beea thrown out that this would bo a favorable moment to press the question upon the consideration of'he British Government. We have an able and a vigilant minister at the Court of St. James : one who, to great exoerience, and an ample knowl edge of the true interests of our country, unites a competent acquaintance with the precise sentiments of the present Administration. We cannot doubt that he will av^il himself of every proper oc casion to promote the principal objects of his missioo ; nor can ii admit of a (jues- tion that his instructions direct hin. to omit no opportunity which ofTfrs, lo re vive the subject, and to press it on the consideration of Ihe English cabinet, Nat. Journal. From the various accounts which have bcon received, the probability is increas ed, tliat the government of the United Slates will find it neccssary to emp oy force to bring back the W’innebago and Sioux Indians to a sense of justice and of the obligations by which they are bound to onr country. This is much to be re gretted; but there is a point beyond which the forbearance of the government can not be exercised without injury to the safety and interests of those of our citi zens who are in the vicinity of the insur gent tribes. It has been dearly i..cer- 'aintd, that the hostile movemenis com menced with the Indians, and were en tirely unprovoked and unexpected. They committed outrage and murder on our citizens j)eacefully pursuing their voca tions. They have refused to obey the demand of the United Slates Govern ment, to surrender the perpetrators of these outrages; but, relying on their numbers and couiage, they have prepar* ed themselves for resistance. The con sequences of this course, deplorable as ihey will be, can only therefore rest on themselves. We shall strike reluctantly, but the rctiibutive blow mu^i fall. Nat. Journal.
