The progress of the Western and At lantic Riilroad has been satisfactory. The grading and masonry of one hun dred miles have been contracted for upon favorable termsj fifty of which will lie executed by the month of July next, atid the remainder br the etui of the year. ' The entire route for the road to the Tennessee river ha been surveyed. ' Several new routt of parts of the road whicli hail been - located, have also been surveyed, in order to satisfy 1 lie demand of different' Section ol the country, and to ensure (he best loca tion. The length of the road from its southern termination to the Tennes see river, will be one hundred and thirty-four miles, and its coast, according to fhe estimate of the chief Kngineer, ('exclusive of fhe right of way, ami of the service of the Conunissiners) a bout two million five hundred and eighty thousand dollar. The survey and location have cost about fifty one thousand dollar. The chief Engineer is ol the opinion, that the cost of the road will be lea than any other railroad in the United States, con t rue ted jn the tame manner, and r od an, equal scale. - . In pursuance of the law authorising the Board of 'Commissioner in con junction, with the Governor, to tell State Stock, to raise fund lor carry ing on the construction of the road, woe hundred thousand pound sterling of tock have s been- issued. "The President of tliie, hoard 7 Mr. .Crawford) wtro wa deputed to tell, thi stock', Found it unsuitable Tor the. -market, in consequence of the form in which it tued. Mr. Crawford was however enabled to raise, three hundred thou-, and dollar, with the promise uf in. additional hundred thousand, if 'it should be wanted, by pledging a 'part of the Itock. and aggreeing for the le-' lature.that it will at.it present session aatltwize the issuing pf stock sent as will suit the European market; that it shall be offered foralf to the contract or as early a the month of April next; and that the rrioney which has been ad-' vanced shall be, refuhdeiL out ' of the ... proceedi of ihe'sale. The'State is' to pay five per centinterest upon, the loan ,iifrhTthre,e hundtsd thuoiand dollars, .from the time that the bills drawn by , Mr. Crawford on-lhe contracters, shaft bp accepted and paid in London. isxThe fundi thti obtained in New York have been sold he. e for a premium of about ' four per .cant. so that the use of three hundred thousand dollars in Georgia money for one year, ha been procured for the State, without cost, or not ex ceeding one per cents per annum. The Legislature i requested to make immediate provision for filling this con tract Mean mast also be provided daring your present session, for the purchase of the railing for the road. As the , State will probably have to rely almost entirely upon credit of carrying on it woks of internal improvement, it would perhaps be good policy to au thorize at once (he sale of Stock, suf ficient not only to repiy the three hun dred thousand dollars 'borrowed, and for the purchase of iron, railing, but for whatever amount may be necessary for : the entire .completion of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and for giving to the Railroads which are now prog ressing br incorporated companies, ucb assistance as may be demanded by the public interest. The 4 eat value of our agricultural productions in Europe; the freedom of the State rn-m debt, ana me nigo credit f otir bauking institution and mercantile men, will enable the State to enter the Stock Inarket with many advantages. The accuinnlation ol wealth in Great Britain, and the filling up of all the avenues f profitable la bor and investment, have rendered the price. for the use of money exceed ingly cheap there, when compared to it Value here. The extended com mercial connection between Great Britain and the United States, and the approach which they have made to each other, bylTie late improvements in steam navigation, have made' the sur plus money of Great HritaitTmost as arressable to us as its manufacture ol iron and cotton. Nor is there any Urongcr objection to our becoming bor rowers of that furplus capital, to ..add to our means of accumulating wealth, than to our -purchasing its products tuXwben - they can b.; obtained cheaper III. 1 It similar product in our own coun try. So long a the use of money is worth eight per cent, per annum in thi State, it cannot be injurious to the public interest to bring the money from abroad at five"Jer cent, to be em ployed in constructing works of inter nal improvement, wh.tse profit "ill must probably repay the capital and in terest expended upon them, in a very snort time, and winch might be execu ted at all without' thus obtaining the aid of foreign capital. The risk and delay which -must al ways attend the trade from tlieGulf of Mexico around (he peninsula of Flori da with the cities of the Atlantic, and with Run.pe, can best be avoided by a line of railroad from the Chattahoochee river to the Atlantic. Great advanta ge wou d be derived from thus direc ting this trade to our seaports, and the r a a. ' j-. .1 course 01 travelling Detween tne aoutn and the North, through this State. Still greater advantage may be anticipated from completing the Wstern and At lantic railroad, and the railroads whicli connect it with our principal cities. The -difficulties which the Allegany and Blue Ridge mountains present, to the transportation of the vast produc tions of the Western and the South western 8tate of Indianna, Illinois, Missouri. Arkansas, Tennessee, Ken tucky and the upper part of Alabama, to the markets on the seaboard, can no where be overcome with so much ease as through these lines of railroad. If we shall ever succeed to tne ei tent of our' wishes,. in enjoying the ad vantage of direct importation from Europe, of the proceeds of the sale of our agricultural productions exported thither, it must be by these facilities for transportation, brinzinn such an ac cession of capital to our cities as to eii- able the Southern. Southwestern and Western merchants to sell what tliey have to export, and obtain the supplies of Kuropean good upon as favorable terms, in our markets, a in New York. And by inducing the Northern manufacturers to seek an " exchange of theii fabrics in the same markets for our rice and raw cotton and the flour ajid pork of the West.' . I consider it therefore of the highest importance, that the State shall pro ceed with tha construction id" the Wes tern and Atlantic . railroad ' as rapidly as possible and give such assistance,,. by the use of it credit, to the compa nies now engaged iir makilig 'the rail--road which lorm the other portions if the communications between our cities and the South end West, as may be Necessary for the successful comple tion of their undertakings. The application of the mean of the Slate to assist these incorporated coin- Ppanie, i justified from ther. success being identibed with the public good, and because the State can obtain mo ney Upon credit upon cheaper terms than companies, whilst the companies can Consruet the road and keep them in repair, much more economically than the public. In thus supplying the mean to char tered .'companies to complete their road-the use of whicli is nut free for every. one; the. State could take rare, however, that sufficient security is fur nished by the improvement them elves, for tl.e repayment of 'lie money advanced. The Highwasee Riilroad Company in Tennessee, are constructing a road from Knoxville to Red Clay, on the line of this State, and about fifteen miles from the line of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. It will add greatly to the trade and travelling which will pas over the Western and Atlantic Railroad to be connected with this road when completed. The llighwa ee company have met with difficulties in .procuring the means of carry ing on their road, which will probably be 1 vercome by the Le gislature, giving an assurance that this State will proceed to make the blanch road to connect the two road togeth er, whenever the Highwassee company shall have so far progressed, to render it certain that their road will be com pleted. I would, therefore, recom mend to the Legislature to pas a reso lution giving luch assurance. Jn pursuance of the resolution pass ed at your last session, an agent wa sent to negotiate with the Legislature of the State of Tennetsee, f..r the rieht of way for. the Western and At- jTahttc Railroad from the line of this State to the Tennessee river. He suc ceeded in procuring the passage of an act by he Legislature of Tennessee, granting to this State for the Western and Atlantic Railroad the right ol way with the tame privileges and linden the umt restriction at na neeo pre viously granted to the Highwassee Railroad Company. - The copy of the act, the instructions to the agest, and correspondence with the Governor of Tennessee, are laid before jrou. Great credit is due to General Newman, the Agent of the State, for the z- al and in telligence with which he performed the duty assigned him- 1 ntiinalIimI'rovement. A nractical larmer from Davie, who ha made a handsome property by fanning and trading together, says, that it cost him just one third of all he can make, to get hi produce to mar- j ket. He remarked to us that when he tlmught of being obliged to labor every I third day for other people's benefit, he wat almost determed to jrjiore off, but j the hope that it would not always be so, had thus far detained him. lie reiiiaiked that the best team of horses he could get, would knock up in four years on the road. This he attributes to the practice of keeping them expos ed to the weather in the night time. Waggoners, he also remarked, soon get old or die from the fatigue, and ex posure incident to the business. We will add to these considerations, the fact that most of the contagious dis eases of (he interior, are introduced by waggoners. The long time they are compelled to remain in the low country, witli their peculiar habits, are circum stances that greatly expose them to the invasion of such disorder. A list of death among the class of persons en gaged in this business, during the last twenty years, would be a melancholy document, ' but would make a strong appeal to those who have our destinies in hand. These simple facts, ought to I awaken us of the West, to a loud and , energetic assertion of our claims upon I the State for assistance: The interest of the whole commonwealth is involv ed in the question: while considera tions of humanity toward the brute creation, a well as our fellow beings, t'oin rn enforcing the appeal. : We have ad project and schemes for internal improvements for twenty odd yean, but like the gardens of Adonis, , they have failed and withered almost as toon as they appeared. We djgspair of ever getting our share of public benefit trom corporation!, or eveu from a participa tion of the State with chartered Com panie. Tht intermediate country be I ween the Eusl und flttl, it too poor to do ii part of the necessary work,' and the West has hot the surplus capital to do it, if she was ever so much disposed to it. The lei alont and do nothing policy of our State Government, Jia co drained us of our wealth and numbers, that we can only promise. 10 go on with thentTafter the first il'imcanj'" ts conquered. ' To afk more, would be to tat our patriotism beyond what is rea sonable. If the State will dd this, the West will breathe again, but unless she does.and that at the next session, of the Assembly, there if no morrow fur our hope. . Larolma Watchman.

It appears distinctly that the lata Administration victory in Ohio was obtained by the support of the Abo litionists. A letter ot Mr Duncan a prominent Van Buren candidate, for Congress was circulated, in which speaking of the Slave States, be said, "The sngtr of God, and thp vengoaoc. of Hran seem to rot upon every thing upon which you can cut your eyes.

I have been comparatively spared and forirotwn. Mo Male in the Union has exhibited a n abler indepen dence lltaA-TenoMsee; and the people of it, in rtsolving to sustain thaae tvro citizens against unmerited attack; have shown their sensibthly t failhfuf and eminent aervicea ami a just-abhorrence to gross injustice, 1 would, gladly u aite with the Whigs of Henry, in the intended respect to Mr. Bell, but duties and engage men Is at home compel me reluctantly to decline the acceptance pf your invitation. Among other strange and dangerous princi ples of Government which have - been introdu ced within the last Sew )ears, none is more re markable than the ayatem of rewards and puli iahments, which has been acted upor.. Demo tion to power is the highest and often the only recommendation to Executive patronage, whilst to 'queatioa the fallibility of a leading Adminis tration, i regarded a the greatest crime which a citizen can commit. Rejection by the people of partizan of the Executive, who ia a can didate fur office, is a aure pasporl to its favor. So that the roost certain way to get an office ia to loose one. Numerous examples might be given of this practice, but I will mention only two. A candidate for the Governor of Penn sylvania, on the eida of the administration, being rejected by the people, was soon after re warded by a high-Executive office at Washington.- And when be pouted and threatened in consequence of another rejected candidate for the same office, of leas zealous faith, being sp pointed to a foreign Mission, fie was. quieted by being trunsfered to a lucrative office iu Phil adelphia.

"sUBTREASURVr EXTRACT FROM C.OY. GILMEJt'S ME8 ' SAGE. Intimately connected vfith the sub. ject of our Banks, is the policy prnpos ed by the administration of the General Government, o.f - collecting the public dues exclusively in gold and silve , and entrusting their safe-keeping, un til required for expenditure, to indi iduals instead of Batiks. ' The effect ot these measures, if they had been a dopfed by Congress, would have been to have added to the cost of all goods upoiv.which duties are paid; -increased the difficulty of purchasing-public lands to every citizen, except large capita .lists and office-holders; endangered the currency', by constantly withdrawing frnm the Banks (he basis of-their cir culation ; lessened the safety bf the kee ping of the revenue; added to the un certainty and expense 'of) transferring the public money from the places of collection to the places of expenditure; and to have locked up' the public mo ney, from the time of collection until wanted for the purposes ol the Govern ment, instead of permitting it to add to the circulating wealth of the coun try, through the means of geneuLde posites in the Banks. Nor would the country have been compensated for these injurious consequences from the proposed measures, by any enrrespon ding advantages.
