This gives to Chiirlc.-lnn an advantage over Suvanuah for the Duck Town tinde of I.'<2 inil?*s. At ami around Duck Town are titunlnl ihe wleli.'iitnl co|>|ier mines of I'olk eoiiuty, in Tennessee. These extend into Georgia across llie line between those States- A very large capital from Kurope mid the North is invested iti these mines. The products of the mines \iehl u very Isrge freight to the Georgia Kail lb>ads. Mr. I'erry, ill liis speech ut Tunnel Hill, stated that copper ore ranked next to cotton in the freight It furnished to those roads. In the report ?'f the ' Georgia Central Kail Roatl" for IHtiti it appear* that 7.77'2,*2.lt) barrels of copper ore were carried over that roail hy way t?f Macon alone, exclusive of what was carried over the Georgia i> i . ? jvuii noun, uy way 01 AiiytiMa, lo >avaiinali mill Charleston. The cost of eartyin^ n Idii of the ore frolli Duck Town by turnpike to Clovehind varies from flu lo $15, mid from thai plac?* l?y rail road toKuvaiinah or Charleston $10 more, making a lolal freight of $'20 lo $'>."> per ton. 'I'lie ori-H have, besides, lo brur the cosl of freight from those cllics lo New Yoik or lo Liverpool to be smelted. Thcso charges for freight of llio ore greatly reduce the profits of the mine". Tin- ureal Cumberland Coal lied crops out above the surfaee about eifjht miles wcsl of Chattanooga. It is nio^t important to the profitable working of the mines that the coal and copper ore should be brought near to cach oilier by rail road. It is therefore essential that a rail road should connect Durk Town with the Cumberland Coal I Jed. The distance between them id about 7 X miles. The coal hikI copper freight* would not support the expense of a rail mail, dependent on them alone, as a rail rond from Duck Town to I ho Coal l)rd3 would be. Hut if the Iliwasnec Koail were built, tlie general tr.ide between Cliarlehton and Chattanooga, by (lie lliwassee branch nml lilne Ridge Itail Uo.nl, would make llic Itoad from I)uck Town to Cleveland a prudent investment. So iin|Kir(ant in it to the productiveness of the large capital invented in liio Duck Town Copper Mines (said to nmount to many millions of dollars) that a large contribution from the owners or the Mines may confidently ho relietl on, for they have a deep interest in the construction of that part of the lliwassee Hail Itoad which would connect Duck Town with Clovelaud. The counties through which the Iliwassee Rail Koad id located, are fertile, much more f<>rtile than would he inferred from th>-ir productions, for the distance from a market discourages from any more agricultural labor than eufKcts to supply the necessaries of life. County and individual subscriptions to a considerable amount tnay be confidently expected. The first movement lowavla the undertaking of this Road, will be seen in the following extract from the Chaltauooga Advertiser of the 15th instant: Rail Road Meeting in Union County.?In accordance to previous notice, a Inrgc ami respectable portion of the citizens of IJiiion county, met in the Court House at lilairsville. On mo tion, llio Hon. S- S. Ilorshnw was called to the chair, and Captain Alfred Butt requested to act as Secretary. Dr. Andrew Young was called on to explain the object of the meeting; after which lie introduced the following Preamble and Resolution*, to wii: We, a portion of the people of Norhoast Georgia, feeling from our irolated |msitiou our great need of rail road facilities, and having assembled for the purpose of devising means to forward the construction of the Iliwassee Kail Road, unanimously adopt the following resolutions : 1. iCcsolvcd, That the lliwassee Hail Road charter together with the chartcr from Duck Town Copper Mines to Cleveland, Tennessee, (a distance not exceeding oue huudred miles) form the nearest and mn?t practicable line of connection between the Great Valley of the Miiwisaippi and Charleston, South Carolina, (this being nearer than any other line of roads which is, or can be built by from 135 to 150 miles) '2. licsolncd, That nature having provided Ibis route by causing as it were, the lofty inouutains to !x>w to our necessities, evidently directing us to the great councction referred to Above, we would prove recreant to the duties which we ~..j J -1 "" w "? oviTfo II1IU UUI UUUCIIUUIIUI, CllOUiU we longer remain inactive on the subject, and unworthy those Kail Road facilities which the beneficence of nature has placed wiihin the reach 'Of our energies and our capital. &. Rcnolvcd, Therefore, Hint we pledge ourselves to use all available means fur theuoustruc tiou of the lliwassee ruil road, and that capitalists he iuvitcd to investiijate and compare dis timers by this and oilier road*, either completed or contemplated. 4. lierolvcl, Tliat our Senator and Representative to the General Assembly be instructed to co-operate with the friends of State and upon fit it nlile principles, but to oppos* the adoption of any policy the tendency of which would be lo discriminate against this or any other portion ol Georgia. f>. Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting forward a copy of the above resolutions to the Chattanooga Advertiser, Cleveland Banner, 1/nurciicevillu News, Southern Banner, Clurksvillo Journalt Wolhall* Banner, and Keowce Courier, with a request to publish the sune. The meeting was then addressed by Dr. Andrew Youug and C. J. Welhorn, in support of the same; when, on motion of John Uutt, ISmj , they were unanimously adapted. B. S. MORSIIAW, I'resideut. A T?

We had occasion, a few weeks since, to refer to the sudden elopement of certain individuals. We have another indictment this week against a young mm), who lias been spending some lime liure with no other occupation than that of a general loafer. Wo have understood that ho gave his name as James Lcvcrclt, from N. C, A f*\v nights wince, without paying his board bill, or taking leave of other small creditors, lie left fur parte unknown. On the ni^ht of his departure a Gray Ilorac, under medium size, and about 12 year* of age, belonging to W. W. Huhski., mysteriously disappeared from the post to which he was hilchcd, and has not been hoard from since. It is surmised, and that not without reason, that the said /Atuerell has feloniously appropriated llio missing horse to his own private purposes. GEN. 8C0TT. It is stated that Gen. Scott liab Wen ordered to Washington Territory. The object of his inissiuu is to adjust Use difficulty between Gen. Haknky and Douolass, the British Governor of the Hudson Bay Company. The occupancy of a small Inland by Gen. Harney aud bin troops claimed by the British, and alleged by the Amer. icatis to belong to the United States, is the cause of these differences. It is surmised that something serious may come of this affair. We see nothing in it that may not be harmlessly and without bloodshed, amicably adjusted. There seems to be doubt as to whether tho treaty, establishing the boundary lino between tho two Governments, leaves this " spot of earth" to British or Auierican. Perhaits ii woulil Im umb?vI.

We are pleased to notice euch evidences of ad* vuneenient in the "higher wulkn of science.'* We notire, however, that this specimen of type and puper has had to make a trip all the way to Philadelphia to have itself done up. We wonder if there are not at least a dozen printing cilices iu the State, at which this little bantling could have been as neatly dressed for public iu. spcction. Wlien we are a mind to we shall always speak our tniud, and herein we eliall remark that it iB becoming loo much a custom among local corporations arid institutions to implore the aid ol local journalists without offering fee or reward when they wuh to bring into existence some newborn enterprise, begotten per imp* ot selfish interest; yet when it comes to putting n dime into Iho pocket of the printer tlie vetitable pervoiiage who haa axsi^ted to make them what they are, theu they?ungrateful, and not remembering the kindness of friends at home ?mutt needs hunt a strange laud to find n stranger, and inuke him the worthy recipient of their bounty. PREPARIVB 70ft THE ONSLAUGHT. The correspondent of the Charleston Mercury guerees that Uie slave trade will be au issue iu the next Legislature, but we venture to gueae that his " gnese" will not come to pa?s. Hear him: "I 'guess' that the revival of the slave trade will be rather fully discussed in jour next Levin Iftture. as aevefol nKmbfn of thai body, recently Kojourning It ere, have been ran Hacking the libra ries fur historical facta bearing on (he subject, aud seeking for modem information in various w(ill-posted oircle*. Look out for aome ' setllent' in the shape of speeehM." Again the same correspondent thua alludes to * new process of making winr : " A new process of making vino from the juices of orange and pineapple, is the latest scientific novelty of the day. Th? wine is fres from any injurious ingredient, and can b? made far cheaper than 'the foaming grape of Eastern France,' which it much resembles in taste, eobr siul effervescence. The iu venter is now getting out a potent for his races*. As opening a new mutket for the two-Jnost dolicious fruits of the South, this item may uofc l>e without interest to your rcadcrii." IS THEKE ANY TRUTH IN ITT We liuve frequently seen statements in stiitto of our Northern exchangea as to the cargoes of wilil Africans that uro bcinjj landed ti|riu our Southern Coast. We have no doubt but that these statements are home times made l?y partie* that know tlivin to be false. These beliefs not only obtain credence among the ignorant classes of tlio North, but have crept into the brain of even such men us Judge Doiiui.ar, who is reported to have asnurlcd that this slave I in fie in extensively carried on in and about the Florida Coast. The Florida 'J'riOuiie, in auswer to these assertions of the " little giant," says: " We have several timed seen it stated that Senator Douglas haa usserted that some fifteen thousand African nogroea have been landed within the past eighteen Months on the ooatt ol Florida; and that onrjroen would lie landed du kiii: inu <:?niiii|r iuii iiiim winter between Juy Wi'sl niii] I'clisucola. That Judge Douglas bo lieves this story, we cannot fur h moment doubt; Tot- we cannot .suppose that lie would give it currency by his endorsement, knowing or lielieving it to be untrue, merely to ' point a moral or adorn it tale' of * /natter Hoocrciyntif; anil yet the story is of such Munchausen proportions, so absurd 111h i its fnei', ho utterly improbable, if not impossible. tlull if lie haw indeed circulated it, lie has afforded tlie most striking, if not the only, illustration of a confiding and gullablc nature to lie found in bis whole brilliant career. Fifteen thousand slaves landed iu eighteen months?a little more than twenty seven j?vr duy for the whole time ! 'Those who havo repeated this 'canard'have judiciously abstained from particulars. No places, |H>rt.?, bays, vessels, agi nl - or times are given, for these would at once have furnished its refutation. " We hope our friends abroad will regard this ' Florida African slave tiade' talc, us we know it to he, Utterly destitute of truth. We know that Mr lilaekburn, I'nited States Marshal of the Northern District ot Florida, embracing all the .State excepting the Florida Keys, has been searching ami indefatigable in his watchfulness ami inquiries upon this subject; that be has reliable deputies and agents throughout the State, appointed with special reference to it, and that up to this hour neither be nor (as far as we can learn) does any sensible man believe that a single African has been landed within the State.? The Marshall of the Soul hern District, embracing Key West and the Keys generally, has been equally uu the alert, and holds the same opinion." v / THE WILLI AMSTON SICKNESS.

I will simply state that nnither of the ubove eases presented a solitary symptom, which could lie attributed to poison or any sort with which I am acquainted, nor would poison have been thought of while treating tho cases, if the report had not reuched us from ubovc. I have seen precisely the symptoms under which Mr. Choatlmm labored, a hundred tunes in Cholera Morbus, or severe ]>iarrhoti;, and as to Mr. Allen's child, it was a simple case of irregular fever, aud easily yielded to appropriate treatment. Mr. Cheatham died, and so thoroughly satisfied was l)r. Wardlnw and myself, that we did not think it necessary to propose a I'ost Mortem.

The Cuinden Journal says of llic Blue Ridge Rnit Road: " Wo puppo.se tlial there in hardly n sane man who is willing at this day to assert that we do not need such a road in South Carolina to connect us with upper Georgia, lower North Carolina, Fast Tennnssce and ultimately with the great valleys of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. If Mich an one can be found, to him we have nothing to say. The great leadng idea with those master spirits?Dlandiug, llayne, Elmore, Calhoun. and a host of our wisest and best men? was a great North-western rail road connection. What a pity that so much of South Carolina's greatness iu intellect, virtue and patriotism, lies dead and buried. Now that we are almost ready to reap the consummation so devoutly wished for by those noble spirits we are interrupted, and threatened with defeat. We would remark just here, that our Spartanburg friends may rest assured that if they defeat the Blue Ridge Road their French Broad scheme will fail too, for if the Legislature persist in refusing aid to the lilno Ridge, certainly it could not 'commit an act of such utter self abnegation,' as to allow the means already expended to bo lost, and leave a hair finisned road, and start ou a wild gooso chase after the French Broad scheme, which no doubt, if ever commenced, will present difficulties os inniimnrnlil/* n* Mm ?>il>ar .. , .....

As there is some misunderstanding about tlio advantages of the Life Membership over the Annual Membership, we will state that any one paying the interest ($1.05,) on Fifteen Dollars annually entitles him and his family to free admission to the Fait, and to exhibit whatever he pleases without charge. An Annual Member pays $1.00, and admits him alone to the Fair. He cauuot take his family iu without paying for their admission at thn gate. Then again the Life Member is exhonerated from paying this interest annually, when the Society becomca dissolved?when the Life Member removes from the Slat* or die* Either of these three coutingenciea happening will annul the contract.

The trade does nol require any lionus, but simply protection from the destructive animals which infest every negro quaiter in the State. .Here is an important branch of wealth struggling for very existence, one that involves an important rural product, and that concerns every individual in the State, because it is n matter of food and raiment; yet, from the licenso and immunity panted to dogs, it is almost suppressed, thus depriving tlie farmer of the profits .
