THE SCARCITY OF SILVER COIN
AGE CONGRESS! MOVING.
. The shopkeepers of ftlloui Atlantic ci
ties, and indeed the business classes . gen
erally, are, at thepresent tifne, laboring
under the most serious inconvenience, in
! consequence of the scarcity of silver. For
. Crtmn timet no of tl& 1 L I I '
wv,f uttu

all who happen tohave any quantity of
silver, on hand, to sell at the Highest price

I circulation. The subject; we perceive
. A 4, J . 1 j, Perce,ve
i, has arrested, the attention rjf Congress,
fand the following resolution, as submitted
a few da'ysxsince by Mr. Chandler, of
Philadelphia, has been adopted :
" Whereas, in consequence of the large
i supply of Gold from California and other
parts of the; world, the proportion between
that metal and silver is rapidly changing,
thereby affecting their relative value, and
rendering the latter an article of merchan
dise rather than currency, causing its cir
culation as money to cease at its nominal
value ; and whereasunder these circum
Slances ,he si,ver coins of ft country are
bein- larselv exported. nd in JLL.
i . .
quence of the premiums offered for them
by dealers in bullion, they are rapidly with
drawn from circulation, thereby subject
ing the banks anucommunjty to great and
growing inconvenience from the scarcity
of those coins for the purpose of making
change ;
"Resolved, That the Committee on
Commerce be directed to inquire into the
expediency of reducing the value of the
silver coins of the Uited Sjatejs by dimin
ishing their weight or of ;increasing the
proportion of alloy in the sattie or both,
so as to prevent their exportation ; and
that they have leave to report? by bill or
otherwise." 1
The Committee, as We learn from
Washington, are already ht Work busily
engaged in an effort first; to discover the
cause of the scarcity, and jtheri to apply
the remedy. The impression oi' the oldest
financiers is, that so far as; relate? to this
country, the causes of the Scarcity may be
designated thus :
lstThe law of June, j 1834, which
changed ttierelative value of; gold and
silver, and appreciated the; latter.
2d. The importations of millions of gold
from California, which depreciating that
metal, have had the effect of still further
appreciating silver.
3d. The indebtedness of this country to
! Europe, and.be consequent pkoflarge
quantities of silver to pay that indebted
ness. ' ;
1 4lh. The immense amount of silver that
is now manufactured into plate and orna
ments. ! i
5th. The disposition to hpard silver, and
then to sell it, as fostered by the foregoing
circumstances. j
BUt what in relation to the remedy ?
The general idea is, that Congress should
reduce the value of our silver coins, so as
to prevent their exportation. It has also
been suggested, that gold only j should be
made the legal.tender for large sums, and
the reduced silver should be used as a su
bordinate currency, and principally for the
purposes of change. The? subject is an
important one, and it should, not be acted
upon rashly. It is complained in some
quarters, and with reason, that by, far too
small an amount of quarter eagles and
one-dollar gold pieces have been coined
by the Mint of the United States. Of the
827.556,445 of gold coined iluring the last
year, $23405,220 were in S20 pieces,
while only 481.953 gold; dollars were
made, and . only $532,807 00 of quarter
eagles. I
Of silver there were coined, during the
year, - j i . , -
7,500 dollars
22,000half dollars
190,800 quarter dollars
1,931,500 dimes

47,700 00
193,150 700
475750 00
IS4Q9, 600 00
The immense disparity between the a
mount of gold and silver, being bore than
67 to one, is one of the extraordinary fea
tures of the times. j
" Invasipn " of the Sandwich Islands.
The latest advices from Honolula states
that considerable excitement existed there !
in consequence of information having
come to hand, from sources jof Undoubted
credit, to the efiect that thelSaridwich Is
lands were about to be threatened , with
the invasion of - an armed force of ruf.
fians from the shores of California." Meet
ings have been held at Honplula to adopt
measures of defence, and a jconjmittee of
safety was appointed to tae such meas
ures as the exigency might demand. We
have seen no intimations ofj a movement
of this kind elsewhere than in 'the Poly
neasian, of Nov. 9th. The character and
number of the supposed invaders if an
invasion there is to be is probably ex
agerated Or the report tjiat the Sand

be employed as a decoy for'a descent up

GEORGIA RAILROADS.
We frequently notice in distant papers very
gross and inaccurate statements in regard to"
the different railroad improvements in Georgia.
Ioads are rnentioned as being in progresa of
construction which are already , completed,
while others are advervised as Completed which
never had an existence, save io the visionary
brains of certain gentlemen about Albany and
Charleston. We therefore give the following
recapitulation : NaU Int.
1. Central Road, from Savannah to
Macon, completed, 190 miles.
Z. Georgia Koad, from Augusta to
quanta, completed, 17
3. Macon and Western Road, from
Maeon to Atlanta, completed, 101
4. Western and Atlantic Road, from
Atlanta to Cbatianoffa, completed 140
5. Southwestern Road, from Macon
to Oglethorpe, nearly completed,
6. Muscogee Road, from Columbus
to Fort Valley, on Southwestern,
in progress,
7. Atlanta and West Point Road,
from Atlanta to. West Point, in
progress,

12. Burke Road, from Eighty-mile
Station, on Central Road, to Au

Total completed and in progress 963 miles.
From this it appears that Georgia has in op
eration the Central, Georgia, Macon and Wes
tern and Western and Atlanta Roads and the
Atlanta Roads and the Athens Branch, mak
ing an entire distance of 642 miles. The
Southwestern (51 miles) will be in operation
in 90 days. The Atlanta and West Point Road,
30 miles; the Muscogee road, 25 miles; -the
Burke Road, 23 miles; and the MilledgevuTe
Road, 18 miles, making a total of 147 "miles,
will be put in operation the ensuing summer.
This will make the whole extent of railroads
in operation in Georgia by 1852. 789 miles,
leaving 174 miles to be completed. This will
no doubt be accomplished in two years, W hen
the system of internal improvements in the
oiaie win oe almost complete.
The roads afready in operation are all pros
perous, and are realizing from 8 to 16 pr. cent,
clear profits per annum. Thus is demonstrated
he wisdom and importance of a proper system
of improvements. Georgia, after expending
hearly fourteen millions of dollars, is now twice
as ricn as when she commenced her noble
terprises. Macon Messenger.

Smokey Chimneys and Fire Places.
The Editor of the Wheeling (Va.) Lu"
minary, gives the following as the result
of his study of the principles of chimney
draught and the application of the princi
pies to practice.
"There are many theories on the sub
ject of chimney building, and many devi
ces to remedy bad construction. Many
of the theories are wild, and many of the
devices exceedingly unphilosophical.
Jow there is only one general theory es
sential in all chimneys, and that is the ap
portionment of the throat to the opening
or draught'of the room, the closer the
room the less the throat ; always keeping
the throat less than the.compass of atmos-
pnere aamilted into the room. It would
be well also to have the fire-place large
enough to build in a false wall, &a, which
will always place the difficulty under con
trol. Let the chimney be high enough not to
be interfered with by adjoining buildings.
Let the fire-place be large enough to
admit filling in.
Let the offset in the back-wall be, at
least one foot above the upper part of the
fire-place opening.
Let the throat be contracted, leaving it
largest in the centre, until the difficulty is
remedied.
If these conditions are met, it matters
little about the size or shape of the flue
above. This is proved in the building of
furnaces when heavy draught is required.
Fire-Places. In the construction of
mese there is. especially in cities, a great
want of judgment. There are several
points to be considered : neatness, or beau
ty, economy and comfort. In building a
house, undoubtedly the first consideration
should be comfort, the second, economy,
whether we build for ourselves or to rent
to others. We regret to say that there
seems to be an utter disregard of these in
nearly all the houses in the city, and too
many in the country pattern after our city
fashionables. Small fire-places are all
the rage ; a little square, deep, low, nar
row hole in the wall, hemmed in on all
sides with iron casements, is (all that is
left to be called a fire-place : the result is,
1st, the heat is thrown into the room in a
straight line agreeing to the width of the
opening, and those only who sit immedi
ately in front of the 8 by 10 opening get
ihe benefit of the fire on one side, while
those who sit right and left might as well
be some other place. 2nd An insuffi.
cient quantity of heat to warm the room.
is thrown out. One-half of two-thirds !
passing up the chimney, to the disadvan
tage of comfort and economy.
The next question is, how should they
he built? Answer : high, wide, and
deep, so as to admit of filling in with a
circular back -wall, presenting a large
opening and surface from whieh tn rat
the heat to all parts of the room, and at
jne same lime secure the draft."

gruunu line, pressed through a fine seive.
and afterwards made into a paste, and
mouioeu into the desired form. An en

which is tinged with Various delicate col

tough, and it is as cheap as common

"Had I been in Congress I think" I shcud
have voted as John L. Tavlor did for the fu

lor voting against it ; but I should centre I
who would now seek for its repeal. e know
it cannot b regaled, and an attempt to do it
must only produce agitation.
"And now let me ay one thin;: fjrth-r.
These are not merely my tentirnts, Ut the
sentiments of the great body of the .eo;.le.
They do not wi-hlhis slavery agitation. ''I'ley
consider the Wilmot proviso as a humbug. M
