We hope this Work will soon be com pleted 5 and that a Company will be formed in this State by our next Legisla ture to extend the Road from the Roa noke to this Cityv A considerable por tion of it could be made at a small ex pence j and there is no doubt . that by straightening the Route, the distance might be considerably shortened. We believe our late Civil Engineer Mr Ful ton, made a Survey of the Road a few years ago, with'a view to this object. Colonel 8. H. Long, the eminent topo graphical engineer and explore who is now in the service of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, has published an octavo volume of 160 pages, entitled The Rail Road Manual and comprising a discussion of all the topics connected with the formation and use of Rail Roads.

The New-York Enquirer, with one or two tther mere gladiators in politics, such as the Albany Argus, Philadelphia Senti nel, and Boston Statesman, alone, of all oUr contemporaries known to us even by name, keep up the cry of Proscription, not merely of those persons in office and out of office, who were, like ourselves, actively engaged in the political contest which has just terminated, but of those who were not active & embittered enough against, the late Administration, to satisfy their taste. The violence and persecute ing spirit of these prints is precisely in proportion to the violence and intolerance which not very long ago they displayed, when they were on the side to which they are now opposed. In this instance, we see verified the old proverb, that one Re negado is worse than ten Turks : for to say the truth, the original supporters of General Jackson, those who supported him conamore, and not upon a mere ad venture for profit, are comparatively li beral and tolerant, to those who took up his cause upon speculation. The Editor of the Enquirer aforesaid, is dissatisfied that we do not fall pell-mell upon this Administration. " Let the Edi tors attack the present Administration," says the Editor, " as boldly as we attack ed the late one." We take his advice as Sir Robert Bramble took Doctor Ollapod's medicine and his jokes that is, we don't take it at all. Advice is a very good thinsc, no doubt, but few people like it, and still fewer take it. Don Quixotte's Squire en deavored to persuade his peerless Knight from the attack upon the windmill ours, more gallant, advises us to the encounter. We shall not take his counsel. We are not quite so bewitched with errantry as to mistake a windmill for a giant, or a flock of sheep for an army. If the spirit of the Enquirer and its inferior coadjutors is found to predominate in " the present Administration," converting, it into the instrument of mischief, instead of good, the Enquirer will find us as ready to op pose the misdeeds of the present Admin istration, as we have be,en to repel the charges of such, unjustly alleged, by him and his coadjutors against the last. Fes tina lente The more haste the worse speed. We shall take care to avoid, of au tnings, the example afforded us, by our opponents, in regard to the late Adminis tration, of opposition to its measures, right or wrong. We wait first to see what those measures are. Patience is a great virtue, and the on ly remedy for natural grief. In return for his advice, we recommend to our con temporary to supply himself with a suffici ent stock of it, lest, in the event, he Should not be gratified with that remove of the cloth, the prospect of which seems so to exhilirate his spirits. We have yet some hope that public honors and emoluments are not to be wholly given up to plunder, like the wealth of Eastern cities, over thrown by victorious arms. Yes, we yet hope that the spoils, which the gallant sol dier disdains to wrangle for, will not be wasted upon the mere mercenaries and foil owers of the camp, however impudent ly they may claim them as their due. i Office op this Georgia Courier, Augusta, Friday, April 39 o'clock, P. M. Awful Conflagration. With a heart that can scarcely throb3 from exhaustion, we sit down to record the most awful ca tastrophe which has ever befallen our Ci ty. Having lost every thing but the ma terials of our office, we know how to sym pathise with our fellow-citizens, many of wiium are lrreinevaoiy ruined. About halt past two o'clock this after noon, -a Fire was discovered in the 4th tenement row on' Ellis-street, known as McMull en's htiilflincva Hal otate Bank.

" Unwarp'd by party rage, to live like brothers." JOSEPH GALES SON, at Three Dollars lines neatly inserted 3'times for a Dollar, & twenty FRIDAY, APRIL 17V 1829. the intermediate houses, and those in the neighborhood. It was stopped at Big non's Brick Building, No. 146, on the south side of Broad-street, and the Bridge Bank Buildings on the north side. From the last to the ri ver, on both sides of Centre-street, leading to the Bridge, and from Bignon's Brick Bulling, nearly opposite the. City Hotel, to Green-street, not a house that we remember, has escaped the conflagration . Goods and furniture, carried into Broad street, were destroyed as readily as if they had been in the stores and houses- Not one dollar in a hundred escaped of the ar ticles, that the owners vainly imagined they had saved from their blazing dwel lings. While we are writing, the raging ele ment is progressing eastward, and nothing but want of materials-to consume, seems likely to terminate its progress It is al ready at the lower end of the town, and if a single house has escaped from the Bridge Bank and Bignon's house, but from Green-street to the river, down to the lower end of the City, we are unable to discover amidst the smoke. It is impossible to give particulars a midst the confusion which is every where reigning. Many buildings are insured, and many we know are not. Our neigh bors, like ourselves, lost every thing af ter they had removed them, into Broad street, and what may be considered equal to a third of the City, has been destroyed, and that part of it above and in the .im mediate neighborhood of the market, em braced the active retailing portion of the grocery business. The Bridge has been saved with great difficulty ; The abutment was several times on fire. So suffocating is the smoke, that the lower end of the City cannot be visited it seems to be resigned to a fate which cannot be controlled. The fire in that part is yet unextinguished. Since writing the above, the wind, which it still high, has so blown off the smoke that we are able to see more dis tinctly the scene of- the early conflagra tion ; and we perceive standing, from the peculiarity of their situations, Dr. An thony's and Mr. Joshua Danforth's hous es, on the opposite corners of Centre street, where it crosses Green. Below, on Broad-street, Mrs. Barrett's and General Montgomery's, and a few small houses on the same square have been saved. ! We are informed Gen. Holt's house on the river-bank, is safe. All above him are in ashes, for fifty yards above the Bridge. We cannot estimate the loss of pro perty, nor the amount of distress which it has entailed on the city for a long time to come. 14,0 tenements are burnt on Broad-street, and more than that number on the other streets. Appointments made by the President. Genrge M. Dallas to be Attorney of the U. States for the District of Pennsylvania, vice C. J. Insersoll, removed. William Duncan to be Surveyor of the Revenue for the Port of Philadelphia, vice James Glentworth, removed. David Henshaw to be Collector of the Revenue for the Port of Boston, vice Hen ry A. S. Dearbon, removed. Lemuel Williams to be Collector of the Revenue for the Port of New Bedford, vice Francis Baylies, who declined accept ing the office vacated by the removal of Russell Freeman. Rumours are in circulation, which ap pear to be entitled to credit, that Mr Shaler, late Consul General, at Algiers, is to go as Commercial Agent to Cuba, aid that Henry Lee, of Virginia, is to take his place at Algiers. The Philadelphia papers inform us that John Pemberton has been appointed Na val Officer for the Port of Philadelphia, vice Philip S. Mark ley, removed. N. Int. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. New-York, April 4. From Liverpool, the Svlvanus Jenkins packet ship arrived last evening, bringing London papers to the 13th. Of continen tal news we see nothing of consequenee. Indeed, the all absorbing question dis cussed in the London papers is that of Cath olic emancipation and the King's speech recommending the consideration of that question, is pronounced on all hands to be the most important address from the sover eign since the revolution that placed a pro testantfamilyon thethrone. Of theleadin newspapers, the John Bull, Bell's Messen ger, and the Courier, are opposed to concession-Theritnes, Chronicle and Sphinx in its favor. Mr. Peel, the: staunch and a ble advocate, heretofore, of the disabilities imposed upon the Catholics, has, under a sense of imperious necessity, and of duty as a minister of the crown, changed his course, without changing his opinions & entertaining the sentiments he always did of the danger and impolicy of granting e quality of rights to the Catholics, ;i.ti to the obligation of his sraiinn. in hi ing the conductor,, through the House of Lemons, of; bill granting this enaalitv; rannpt be KaQubtertrine. of per annum half in advance. - fire cents for every succeeding pubKcatiok NO. 1,564. Times right when it says, in reference to thissubect ' In six months hence, men will look at each other, and exclaim What was that scruple which withheld emancipation '--what was that terror which overhung the .Anti-Catholics ? The act of eimncipaion will pass the repeal of the test act, for the disappearance of a shadow, which haunted our steep, and locked up our faculties as a night -am." " Asa preliminary proceeding, M-. Peel introduced, on the 10th instant, to the Huse of Commons; a severe bill for the suppression of unlawful associations. Happily, the Catholic Association, with equ d wisdom and moderation, had, upon the King's speechr!determined to dissolve of themselves. So that the bill, if it pass es into a law, will only have the Bruns wick clubs which would, we presume, in like manner with the Catholic Associa tion, be subject to its operation to act upon. Mr. O'Connel arrived in London, on ihe 1.0th instant, but under existing circum stances, wuuld not, it waVsupposecl,-'' press to take his seat. The London papers contain the corres pondence, between Count Saldanha, com manding the Portuguese refugees, who, to the number of 600," sailed from Plymouth, ostensibly for Brazil, and Captain Wal ple, of his Britannic Majesty's frigate Ranger, off Terceira, where these refu2ees rtiteiupred to land. This they were pre-. venieu rrotn aoi; g Dy Captain Walpole, acting, as lie states, under positive orders from his Government f .nd in conse quence, after a long- correspondence, the transports made sail for Brest, woere they were received with the greaiest kindness. Unfortunately, the EUuger, in firing at the transports, to brinj them to, fired in to one of them, killing one man and wound ing two others. The transaction was mentioned with much feeling in Parlia ment, and explanations would be had upon the subject from the Ministers. - In the grain and cotton market, a de cline is announced, as the Commercial Record will show. American. From the Courier, of the 9th February. It was stated this morning that Earl Grey had accepted the vacant cabinet of fice of Lord Privy Seal, which had been offered to the Earl of Westmoreland, and declined. Mr. Bankes is understood to have re signed the post of Secretary to the Board of Control. j Mr Peel has resigned the Representa tion of the University of Oxford. The Convocation is staled to have accepted it. Reported assassination of Bolivar. apt. Clark, of the brig Gen. Paez, at New- Torkiniy days trom Curacoa, states, that a report was in circulation there, which was generally credited, that Boli var had been assassinated that his troops, amounting to about 5000 men, had fled and that all communication between Valencia and the other parts of the country had been cut off. Our readers, says the New-York Ga zette, will, no doubt remember that an attempt was some months since made to destroy the President of Colombia, and that he miraculously escaped. We shall await with much anxiety the receipt of more direct advices, to ascertain the truth or falsity of this rumour. Letters from Buenos Ayres to the 26th Jan. received by the Emma at New-York state, that the country was in a most de plorable state. No sale for merchandize of any description- The currency was 310 per cent, below par. Advices from Mexico, received by the schooner Monk, at New Orleans, which left Yera Cruz on the 9th ult- state that Pedrassa, had embarked at Tampico in the British packet, for England. The law for expelling the Spaniards had passed the House of Representatives, but if. was thought, in consequence of the departure of Pedrassa, the measure would now be unnecessary, and would not be adopted uj me oeuaie. STILL LATER. By an arrival at Bogton, English dates to the 21st of February are received. The subject of concession to the Catho lics was stili almost the only one discussed in Parliament. The Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Wellington had declared themselves in favor of concession. A later arrival at New-York, the Ship V. Stateg, from Liverpool, brings a paper of that placeof the 3d ofMarch. The affaire of Ireland continoe'fo' en gross the attentions of the British Parlia ment and public this subject ha roused the whole mass of the aristocracy aQd crer gy 5 so great a ferment has not been known as that created by the Catholic question in the memory of man.
