POLITICAL. lungary.-The latest news from lun gary are by way of Vienna, and are still marked by contradictory statemeuts, and continue very unsatisfactory. The Londou News states that it is cen - erally believed on the Continent that Geor gey surrendered on a pledge given by au ihority of the Czar that the independence of Hungary should be established. A battle is reported to have occurred somewhere between Raab and Cornorn, which resulted to the advantage of the Magyars. Gen. Haynau's last bulletin reports "All Bhriel and Transylvania as clear of insur Fgents." A corps of 7.000 foot, 1,000 horse, with 4,000 muskets, and 2 cannon had surren Jered to the Russians. Bern and Gu.yon having been surround ad by Luders, left their troops and modo their escape. Their troops laid down their arms at Arad. 25.000 men were taken prisoners, and. 176 field pieces were captured. Georgey and the members of the Diet have been delivered by Paskiewitch into - the possession of the Austrian Commander. Another Hungarian leaderehad proposed to capitulate, on condition that he and his officers should be discharged on parole, which terms had not been acceded to by - Hlayuan. who was still in pursuit. . The Emperor bas declded that part of the corps surrendered with Georgey, be dismissed and the ternainder incorporated With 'the Imperial forces.

Ma, EDITOR,--n resuming the subject of Plank Roads, 1 propose to, continue to chow the advantage- of Planiover .Rail Roads, in ait ariculturai orthinly popu lated section of country like ours. I doing this, I hope I shall. not be audprstood, as being. opposed to Rail -Roads.. So ,far from it, I consider the introductiou of Rail Roads, for purposes of travel and transpor talion of merchandise, for long, distances on-land, one of the mostvjaluable discove ries of the ago ;-but experience bas clear ly demonstrated that Rail-1tbne ;except as connecting links on the great iravelliog" routes, or connecting importaqt.cities, are unprofitable, and ill adapted:tp the. trans portation of the productsof; the country. If any one entertain% doubts of this, let him take aRail ltoad Guider'in which all the Rail Roads in the United vrates arc laid down, and he will iod, with few ex ceptions, that those roads that-pay a divi dend equal to legal interest, ae on the great routes of travel, or comcct two or more importaut cities. The few exceptioiss alluded to, he will find are routes connect ing coni or iron mines, with river or ocean navigation, or else Roads passing through a~populous section of country. deriving their aupport, from an immense way travel, and transportation of manufactured-aridles, the production of mechanics and rnatnifactu rets, whose business do not reire .them to keep teams. The case is widely differe'nt in an agris cultural country. Every farmer- must have horses or mules to tead his crop, and get it in from the field. After his crops are gathered, he has but little use fur them, except to get his produce to 1parket. If the roads are had, he is prevented from [sending it attliat time, for fear of iuijuring his teams and wagous; whereas,if he'could scud it to market over Plank Roads, he would take acvaitage of any leisiureetime to do so, bringing home such supples as. he needed, and costing him only the small expense of toll, which would not probably be aver 10 cents, per bale, for Cotion, while the expeuse by Rail Road, would be from five to ton times that amount An objectipn is raised by some, that if a Plank Road is made from Hamburg-.to Edgefiold, and extended, no fur'her tp'the country, wagons from above Edgefield, will not be ahle to carry any more wteighi, and therefore, they will not iravyel, on the Plank Roads. If a saving of rf the time,,. saving the horses through. deep sand' of straining and injuring wagons: from the roughness of the road, of gettin, rid of- a cloud of dust, or shower of. mud, .(as the case may le,) is any inducement toattayel on a Platk Road, those who tavl or own toams, will, I think, "avail thempelves of it. Again, if a man is loaded at Hanburg, with as much as he can haul ont.be:rads above Edgefield, he can make on,3.?r 4 thousand pounds more for Edg ielih-wliib he cauhaul on the Plank Roa 'er than road, iding, The Sc ... uu to see ".Iarmer"~ again in tUU feld, and I can assure him, I anm far from eing discouraged.

I think mny friend, "Far mr's" estimate of the cost, too high, I shall not quarrel with him hiowever. 1 will say with "Farmer," wvhen the time comes, I will help build thent. Believing such a Road, will be beneficial to the whole District, and profitable to the stack bolders, I amn willing to subscribe as much as any one in the District.-in propoertion to my property.SAU . fOR THE~ ADVVtlTisEn.

Pres: rvation. In the iibrld of creation, to prese-ve is a' distin'uishing inark of wisdom and of pow er. '-And it has been justly said, that the wisdom and power to preserve are com mensurate-with theawisdon and power to create. Nothing short of omniscience and omnipotence could sub'tin the grea't ecti omy of the- universe. This will not ap pear extravagant, if we consider the na ture of all material things. They all have. it is evident, a manifest tendency to decay. Matter is in itself corruptible, and nothing but the infusing into it of a divine princi ple of life, keeps in being its manifold forms and appearances. This divine agency, styled by Philosophers efcient cause. reg ulates, us it were, the dying off and rcus cituting of material objects. Without it, matter would be rude and formless. The world aould be chaos. In like natiner all things of human crea tion -are inherently disposed to -decay. Nothing made by min is imniortal; and perpetuity applied to the objects of his in vention, is a term significative only of an indefinite, but still n finite period of titme. Yet human institutions, in Imitation of the natural world, partake of comparative per manency; and there are laws whi'ch rema late their continuance and decay as thw'e are laws, that govern existence and decay in the physical world. Those lawvs lie in the mysierious heart of man, as these ,lie in the inscrutable bosom of lufinite Wis dom. To discover these hidden secrets of the heart, and these sublime arcana of nature-the positive laws that govern moral and physical d'istcncc-is a noble work of science, which calls forth the ddep est researches of the statesman and. the philosopher .On them depends the pre servation of all man's works, and of his greai power. They enable him to apply material objects to his convenience arid appiness. 'rhgy give him power and wisdom in establishing governments and institotious, and i refortiing public morals and manners.. It is only by a thorough koowledgo of human nature-of mani's ental powers-his desires and propensi ies, and his developments under different tates of society-that can give rise to a iuitable and adequate polity. A govern ment, formed strictly in reference to these matters, is sure to have in it the elements ,f success. It will be *ell adapted to the ends for which all good govermnent is do signed, viz-"to protect the weakness of individuals by the united strength of socie ty ;" to administer justice equally to all the pdrtb of a community : in other words, to place each individual in that position, in which he cat enjoy the largest amBount of liberty and happiuiess consistent with the liberty and happiness of his fellow-men. Now a profodnd knowledge of the prin :iples qpnn wh'ich a good government may be formed, will assuredly furnish the best means fur preserving a government in its jurity., To know well what Will work for man's goiod under a given polity, enables the statesman to distinguish betwaengeru ine'reforii and rash isnvaion; betteen rmal asitn nart^euled griaenng;s.and f eoansequerice, to know-what in':a govy :ri'ment is good and what is bad; whut thould be retained, and what renmoved. le will have a sore light for tie guide of disjudgment it. political alIfairas, andl will tot be left to te wild' vagaries of fanciful otjecture. .

What wouldl avail hie bteautiful works of creation, atnd the ulitne hartmony of the world, were it hot or the working af the laws by which they re preserved and perpetuated ? The Deity ins wisely instituted laws to keep up the :ontinuing form of thiugn And the chief' among these. is "order." "Order is Hlea un'sfi rst law." Ont it hangs th~e moral tad physical ecottomty of the Universe. How beautifully is this law illustrated in he material world! The coturse of the aarth ahad the lleavens is alvays thte samte. Dhjeeta, the niere appearances of matter, nay bg changed; but forms-the essenices f' thtings, are immutably preserved. The ~ivifyinag principle may die out in otte bject, blit it relives in another. The same awe are ever at work, anad the same results ay ever be expected. Bly this sublime ule of order, the betautiful arrangementt of hings is perpotuated. Here, then, is a trikintg lesson of preservaltion for the hu nan race tio emulate. Why may ntot simi a tresults be obtainted in the moral attd soliical world ? Here, also, the same aws are alwanys at workt, arnd here, order the first law. Hiarmony of action and warmotny of feeling are the substantial sour es of happitness in society. Disorder, tn malt, faction,- dissension have contrary affects. They destroy social happiness. They break up the bonds of society. They 'mnd to anarchy and conifusion. To avoid, hen, these evils, should be the chief aim f good governent; or to change thme prpsitiont, to sustain order and harmonty the most essential requisite to. the wvel 'are of soaciety. But hmow~ is thmis to be ichieved except by preserving the estab, isliced course of things, or only chaangintg it vhen necessary to remove obstacles to regular ordler and gniet ?

THE BANK OF-TIE STATE UNNECESSARY. When it was proposed to refuse a renew al of the charter to the Bank of the United States, a great dutcry was made about the finrace+. If the aik is not re-chartered, how till it be possible to anage the finan ces ? HIow will it be possible to receive and pay out twenty-live millions ti dollars annually without a Bank ? Here was a stumbling block indeed! Here was a portentous ditliculty ! But it turned out to be n mero pons asinormn. The Bank was put down; and, without its agency, and witiot the agency of any Bank, not twenty-five millons only, but fifty tnilliotts, have been received and disbursed without loss or dilliculty.' rThe advocates of a recharter of the Bank of the State now tnake a similar out cry. They would have us believe that our finances cannot be managed without the Bank. And sonb of them actually kept their countenances before the comn mittees at the last Session of the Gencral Assembly, when they quoted a passage from the old Journals of (1 think) 1847, to show that the Commissioners of the Trea sury could not procure funds to discharge the pay hills of the members of Assembly! That such an argument as this was ad dressed to an assembly of men of sense and information, only . shows the straits to which those gentleman were reduced. That any man. in his sober senses should for a motnent'seriously suppose such an argument available with the people or their represetttatives, is scarcely credible. As to ihe matiagement of the finances, we presume but few disinterested persons will at this tine of day maintain that two hon. dred and nietg' thousand dollars cannot annually be received atid disbursed with out the agency of a Bank. lIsn, how is it that the Getter I Government can annually without loss, receive and disburse fifty millions without a batk officer touching a dollar of it? independently of the debt of the State and its connection-with tho Bank nothing can be more simple than its finan cial system ; and the bsm and substance of it consists, and has for years past consisted, in the receipt and eipenditure of a trifle less ihtn'two hundred id tininety thousand dollars. 1f.there is any thitnuccrtaia leuiding ohject with those who are opposed' to rddharerintg the Batnk is, to simrlify as tmuei is possible, and rid the State of everything like comt plication in reference to its fitaaicos. They deem tmystifi'cation out of hatrniloty with our republican sys tema; ande in nothing rnore so thau int mat ters of fnancee. .It seems, indeed, .to be long to the idiosyntcracy of the Anglo-Nor matt race, to be singilarly sensitive -on all matters touchitng the purse; and miore lpar ticulsrly so when the hatid oflGovernnmient is thrust forth to motch. This tdice percep tionof the philosophtical distindiiont hot waeen me'm andl tium, 'akes us atn honi-st pen. ple, bqt c ato sameo time a jealotis people; atnd titis watchtfulntess atnd jealousy per vade oui- Constitutions both State anti Fedlerah The nystery thaisurronds our finxitcs is certaintly nnt very profound ; but it is still sufficient to excite apprehensioni and distrust in many rminds. The most effe~c tual way to dispel it is to pay our dlebt cnd allow our Bank charter to expire. The debt and the Bank constitute thu otnly portiotns of outr financial systena that de miand skill iht their manageent, beyond what maty' be met ivth in any worthy Comnptroller and Treasurers. Atnd the argument on this poitnt, otn the othter side, absolutely resolves itself into this: keep up the~ Bank, in order thtat it niay mantage itself, and avoid patying the debt ;ts lotng as possihle, in order that thte Bantk ma~y enjoy the addlitional funecrioni of antagitng the dti. In othter words, mninruatin your difTculties, it. order to rid joursolves of themo. We say. on the other, hatid, that the Bank anid the debtc (whtich -in all -pro habillhy niever would have been cotntracted had ntot the Bank beetn in existence) create the whole dillictulty; pay the delbt with the ample mneatis of thte Batik, and-the whioic diflctthy of matnagemtent vanishes-every thintg b~ecomes easy. simaple, ptlaint, anid sat isfactory to 1,he public tmind.'
