most le-oititnate grounds, upon which to place the support of any man for public office. and especially in the selection of the hijahest functionary inl the State. Ful ly conceding, therefore, to Col. R., the honoirable - haracter as a private gentle mat, which the editor of the Mercury ha. blstowed up-mit him. I would yet ask inl the spirit of fiairnees amd kinidness. what claims has Col. R. upon ite State Right, oartv, to be thnue autioritatively placed in omintntation, as a candidate for the highest oflice in the gift of the State ? What pulb. lie acts and services hans he perlbi med. whichjustly challenge the coufidence annd support of this party? It is true. Col. R. was for several years a .re;pectable Men her of the State Legislature, but I am un: aware of any public measure, originated by him, anl with which his a:tme is 'en tilied in that station, which canl interpose any high clims to superior wisdon.or en larged statesmnatship. It is eqally true, that he occupied the honorable siation of a Representative in Congress. for one or two terms, bit his public course there was modest and unobtrusive, eminently becoti ing him as a gentlearan, but not sufficient ly'brilliant to leave a name and reputation behind hin. He discharged his. duties with fidelity, Ita certainly with n6 higher nerit. In short, he is a genilemata, ia every honorable sense of the word, of good education. and courteous manuers. (not more, however, than the equal of thou sands an the State.) But what clairns, I again ask, has ie upon the State lights party, to be selected and put in nominaaa tion by the editor of the Al-retry, tIhe once trusted and inflaentiil organ of that Iarty? I here disavow any intention or desire on my part, to disparage Col. R. I respect him too highly to seek his disparagemietat, if I could acconplish it. These stte ments, are not made for this ignotble pur pose, but as furnishing the reasons for the surprise which I have expressed, in rela tion to the course of the Mercnry, in this matter. Ifit he alleged, that the orgai zation of the old parties no loager exists I the State,-th:tt the lines of separationa have been obliterated. and] both are naoiw barmoniously united itt the patriotic elirt of serving the State, I am prepared to con cede the fact. If it be urged, that to carry out the compromise, which was happly effected in the Session of 1534; all the public offices should be open and accessi ble to each party; I am not dkposed to gainsay the proposition. If it he again urged, that the present state of public opin ion, or the true itterests of tle State, ren dered the elevation of a gentleman from -the ran's of the Union party, to tihe ufie of Governor, aa a measure either liberal. wise, prudent, or magnaanimaous, I could have made the concessiotn witout the manifestation of the slightest opposition. So far as my feelings and wishes are coa cerned, I was not only prepared to anke the concession, but I sIt uld have been ex ceeditngly gratifi d, if thait eminently vir tuouas citizen anl faithful pultdic servant. Judge David Johnson, could have been se!ected by common consent, an:l elevated to this oflice without opposition. Ilis transfer t. the gubernatorial chair, would have relieved him from the tenavy labors of bis present office; the duties of which, in dtfferent statiots. lae has discharged for ulpward- of twenty years. with ionor to himelf, and with signal advantage to the State. It would have been aan appropriate complinent, paid to emianent, private worth, anal public service, reflecting honor reciprocally utpttn th-- giver and receiver. But in that case, I thonthr that si!ent ae quiescence was the trae course for tht State Rights party. the only one contsistett ,wiih a due resject for its dignity and con sistenev.

TYRONIS. M11. EDiTor. In your paper of last Thursday, I no ticed a connunication from Mr. 11. Shultz, upon the subject of the late meet ing in Charleston, to devise ways and metans to retain the trade of Hamburg, and through it, the trade of the whole of the North Western part of our' State. And in the same paper, I am happy to see in your editorial remarks.a favorable notec of the matter. To Charleston, to Hamburg, to the Western part tif South Carolina, and in deed to the State generally. the possessioni of this trade is, and will be, of immense v-due. Georgia knows that it is impor tant to gain it, and while we are lyig idle, whatissiedoingtoobtain it? Every thing Sir! every thing ! Augusta has bought the brides across the river, at a cost, I believe, somewhere near $120,000, and oflers to the Carolina grower of pro duce, p:ssnie to the Georgia side, free. Now, as thit $l20.000 must tie refuntlded in some way, atnd as we see, that by the bridges being toll free, that they do not expect to get it from that source,-let us see how they will manago to get their motey buck, as individuals rarely, ati corporations never, expend money, with out inl return, receiving some goo:. They intend sir, to ollier every induce. met to the Carolina Planter, to cross over. They will pay him in wvhat Mr, Shitz has very appropriately denomina ted "trash." at a par price for his cotton but which if they attempt to bring it out of Georgia, is from 5 to 15 per cen:. dis count-while the cotton they have sent ill, lo-;es ni diocount. Who then lose, the dit1'rence ? the Planter! Antid whert does this dillsrence go to? It goes t pay the $1210.000, spent by Augusta in obtain tug these biridges. Adti if this rcas.min is correct, our Georgiaseigihorsealculate on laying ont between two and three mil Nioni of dollars of their trash, in Coo, in this State, b:fore the moiey they havc advanced to secure this trade, shall be re fur.ded. Lord help tis! In this state 01 things, where will the requeisite kind o moaev comp from t; ; our taxes? It : even dicult now to obtain,-and whal will it be in three or four years more when we shall, without a stop is put to it, he inuindlateh with worthless paper? Indeed, sir, I see hur one certain way tu avoit this restilt, 6hd that is to place bank. aig facilities at Aiken, so as to assist Ham. burg in this matter, and a column will then be formted, which all tihe banks iii Georgia will not he able itt imove. There is Cotton enoneh growni in tlis State, tr furnish busineqs to both places, aal to It a source of ::reat revenue to Charleston, and the State itself. The Cotton may al be carried upon the Rail Road, without anyi d.:lay-atl tihe :oods ofo er merchamizt at hut hb these points, & aise for the up couti try, received with dlespatchi. I atm aware, taut the great buichearr here~ofore has beten, hati thme Rainl Rodi~ coubal tnot carry t hr Coittn fast enoutgh-hut this hass not beet theC case ftor the last nine months, that he Savannah river has not beetn btoatabhe, antd probably never will he again. Loot at the repiort of the Presidlent tof the Road He says, that the last feur years "miakem the average per each year, abtt 21 34 per cent. increase over the year precedinig,' and "in less thatn six yeairs, with tho saine ratio of increase, will pitduce more neti income than the grand Canaul of Newi York, statetd by the Governior of thai State, itn hi, Message of January 7, I840, be $1,0.57.803." Yes, sir, next year, the Rail Road Co will bc ablle to carry all the Cuttotn mtade in South Cartlinma, to Charleston, and il the itnbitantso of that city are alive tr their on interests, they will foster anti cherisht lamihiurg and Aiken, atnd see the fruits in~sa revival of their trade. If they do not choose to do so, teycenn contitnue to go down hill, whilie Augusta and Savan-. nahb go up--while we, to say the most, can only remnaini at whiat'we are. *Yours very respect fully, .JOHN MARShY.

Five Thousand acres o. .:md, more or less, lying on the waters of Bi, Horse Creek, four Miles from Hamburg, and within two miles of Savannah River, and ex tending four wiles on the Rail Road, known a., Milton's Mills. On said place is an excellent set ofitills in good order. consistingoffour run of saws, and one Grist Mill. The saws are ca pable of cutting- frot twelve to fifleen hundred feet of lumber each, per day. A never failing stream of water, suiaicient to propel ter: sans it all times. It is navigable for Petersburg boats, to the Mills, and canl easily be made so for :nuch larger ties. There is sawing lumber enough on the laund to run th 5ls 10 or h years, allowing each saw to cut 1200 feet per tiny, and has the great advantage of' Hamburg. Augusta and Savaninah markets, all by water.' One hand will, in two days, nmike his raft, rmi and deliver two thousand feet in Iambttrg or Augusta. and two hands will. in twelve days. ralt, run and deliver 40,000 feet in Savainah. These Mills have also annually furnished large hills of lumber for the Charieston, Rail Road, which passes within 150 or 2,"0 yards of the Mills. There are 150 acres under cultivation. and 2000 more suitable for cultivation. There id on the place, one good well tinished dwcllin'! pleasantly situated, together with Kiteltens: Stmoke flous-., Store Houses, Stables. Black smith, Wlheelwrights. and other shops. Also 12 or 15 other small dwellings, in the vicinity of the Mills, suitable fhr small families. aid here, at no very distnut day, (with the permis sion of the proprietor) will be erected unimerous sumner seats, where the busy nerchant of the city may retire. after the lnbors of the day. in twenty.-live minutes, to a pure atmosphere, free fron the fatal miasma nuasquelocs and dust, and refresh himself among the numerons springs of as pure water as can be found in the United States Nor is there aniy placein the Southern conntry better calcihted for an extensive manan factoring establishnem, there being no want of water; and for health unriv-lied. Their is mnuch Pine Timber in the vicinivy adjoininq this tract. which must he sawed :it thse .dills. We will now suppose that the four saws cut but 1,200,000 feet annually, an, after dedcnting all expenses, yon have but four dollars per thousaiand. You will then have $4,800 per annum, or the stun of $48,000 in tent years. You m:y also emplov one team and three hands, which will deliver in twelve months. filleen hundred cords of lightwood on the Rail Road, for which they pay .i$ 1*2 per cord; which will make $l87,-$900 out, for team and hands, leaves $2287,-or, with the same hands and team, deliver on the bank of the Savainnalh River. twelve hundred corls of lightwonl, for which the Steamboat Company pay $3 0t per cord-which will nake $:,iOo, $10t) out, ieaves .-4.700-or. in ten years, $47, 000.
