FOR THE INTELLIGENCER. MUSCLE SHOALS RAIL ROAD.

Among the many works of Internal Improvement
 now going on and in contemplation, in various parts of the Union there is not one which has stronger claims on the public attention, promises richer and more certain interest the capital required for
 it, than Rail Road around the Muscle Shoals, run ming on the south side of the Tennessee river. To the citizens inhabtng that beautiful region of coun- try called the Tennessee Valley, it is subject of incalculable importance. This is one of the pro- | iects of Internal Improvement, which at an early period of our political existence, engaged the aen- | ton of the Legislature We find, that early as
 the year 1920, an Engineer was appointed to exa-
 mine and report plan of improvement for the Mus ce Shoals. At that time. nothing more was done,
 than to ascertain the fall of the river, by Mir Terry
 the Engineer honored with the appointment. The inconvenience however, arising from these obsruc-
 tions was too great to suffer the State to rest long
 without attempting to devise method, by which they were to be obviated Accordingly an act was
 passed by the Legislature in 1893, entitled "An act to appoint commissioners to improve the navigation | of the Tennessee rver," under which act, a com
 mission ofthe most intelligent men in the State was | organized, to act conjolntly with commissioners appointed for similar purpose by the State of Ten nessee to carry into execution the intention of the | Legislature. These commissioners met and being
 unable to procure the assistance of a scientific Eng
 neer proceeded to give the river personal examina tion; after which they made to the Legislatures of the two States very elaborate and able report set ting forth the vast importance of the contemplated improvement to the interests of our extensive sec
 ton of country, and containing much statistical in
 formation, collected with great labor. Their calcu
 latons we intend to use in this essay, although it is well known fact, that the commerce of the Ten nessee has doubled itself since that period, yet we will err, if at all, on the safe side. The commis. sioners recommended Steamboat Canal, and ad- vsed an immediate commencement of the work
 the funds to effect which to be raised by loan

PREP AR & FEMALE
 SCHOOL.

MATITH much pleasure we again announce
 w to the public, that the second session of the PREPARATORY AND FEMALE SCHOOL, for the current year, under our superintendance, went into operation on Mon day the 10th ult. under auspices highly flat tering, ninety-one having already come in to claim membership. This fact fully con- vinces us that we must have rendered general satisfaction at our last examination, and that our patrons vet have great faith in good or der strict attention to business and accurate
 instruction in order to make scholar. These advantages we profess to bestow upon all our pupils. We have again engaged the services of MT J. s. FIRSTLY, late of s. c. gen. tleman of ample qualifications, of excellent moral character, and of long experience in the business of teaching
 From the united efforts of the present num- Der of teachers now engaged, we fully be- lieve, and have no hesitancy in declaring to the public, that we feel ourselves able to be- stow any advantage of instruction, in either department, that can be bestowed, in any simi- lar institution in the State. We shall, by the first favorable opportunity, send for globes, maps, and other apparatus that we now need for the use of our school. The best of tutors shall be employed to assist whenever assis- tance becomes necessary, and the most ap- proved textbooks used. In order that we may not fall short in our wishes to accommo- date our pupils with the necessary means of instruction, we solicit the continuation of the liberal patronage, that has hitherto accompa- nied us in our past exertions. Having for cer- tain reasons, varied our terms of tuition, we here give the rates attached to the several branches taught in our school. to wit: For Spelling, Reading and Writing S6 per ses- slon; for Arithmetic, English Grammar and Geography, S1o per session; and for Latin, Greek, the higher branches of the Mathe- matics, including Geometry, Trigonometry, Mensuration of heights and distances, Age bra, Natural and Moral Philosophy, Logic, Rhetoric, 8c. S15 per session, paid at the end of the term. PRICE & GARVIN.
 P. s. Though our School is large and week ly increasing, yet ample provision is made for the accommodation of great many more. Should the increasing number require it, oth- CT teachers of character and standing will be procured. r. & G. Tuscaloosa, June l, 3v9,

Bank Agents.-Two gentlemen, Agents of the Bank ofthe United States, are now tour through the Western country examining the different towns for the purpose of selecting those proper for locating Branches of the Mammoth. They have examined those through that part of Kentucky contiguous to the Tennessee line, have visited Florence and the intervening towns in the direction of Huntsville, at which latter place they arrived and after remaining several days, departed, we understand, for Knox vile, sc. &c The general department of these Agents was entirely unexceptionable; but the ap- pearance among of strangers presenting the phiz ofa Northern latitude, coupled with the reputed ob- ect ofther visit could not but excite feelings of ea- lousy in the breasts of the patriots of the land The policy of forcing these monied monopolies into the States contrary to ther wsh does not comport with Southern notions of justice; nor will they quietly consent to the annihlaton of their State Institutions by these foreign capitalists.
 It has been a matter of surprise to many that the United States Bank at this late hour, should be forcing its Branches into every nook and corner of the Western country. The opposition to the Admi- nstration of President Jackson contend that it is for the convenience of the people that the Bank is ex- tending it's aristocratc around them-But it re- qures no Solomon to tell that it is last effort to per- petuate its power by involving the people in its debt and compelling them to renew its charter. Can any man believe otherwise when he sees such extraordi- nary exertions at late an hour-the Charter hav- ing only four or five years to run.-HuntssiHe Dem.
