OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TRANS.
p0RTATION COMPANY.

This Company is IN the ful tide OF success
full operation; and, however frequently we
have referred to their existence, their objects,
&c. we cannot refrain from taking notice of the
energetic manner in which they are fulfilling
their pledges to the public. Unlike many Of
the institutions, chartered and unchartered,
with Banking privileges, for the purpose o.
aiding in the improvement of the State, the
Columbus and Tombigby Transportation CON-
pany have fairly set to work in their laudable
undertaking. Their steamboats, are purchas-
ed, and are now running between Mobile, and
New Orleans, and as soon as our river is nav
igable, they win commence running regularly
from this port to the cities Just named. Their
Barges, which have been buih expressly fol-
the purpose of overcoming the difficulties Of
navigation, in low stage Of the river, are
nearly completed ;-these, together with their
light-draft boats, win ensure the Planters and
the Merchants an early, sure, and expeditions
conveyance Of their supplies, up the river
and safe and prompt medium to forward their
crops to market. Imposition has been the Or
der of the day, for the last two or three years,
on this river, by steamboats, and many Mer-
chants and Planters can testify as to the man.
ner in which they have been used. They have
shipped their goods at Mobile, under promise
that they should be GeIirered at Columbus. The
water becomes low, and the goods are thrown
ashore at Vienna, Gainesville, and other places,
where they are either lost, damaged, or sold
to pay freight and storage. No redress can
no obtained. for the steamboat owners always
shuttle out of responsibility. This win not be
SO with the boats Of this Company. Another
advantage to the public, in patronizing this
Company, is the fact that they receive their
own Notes for freight, &c. on the whole line
of the River, and in Mobile, at par; thus
rendering them equal, or nearly so, to Alabama
funds. The Company make no noise in their
operations, and we feel safe in assuring our
readers, that whatever they undertake win be
satisfactorily performed, and whatever pledges
they make. win be promptly redeemed. We
wish them that success they 50 en1inently de-
serve.

INTERFERENCE OF OFFICE HOLD.

No one who was present at the Democra-

last could not but be struck with the activity o.
the ofice-holders. The Register of the Land
Office presided; and an Editor, holding the
appointment of Publisher Of the Laws Of the
United States, was Secretary. The preamble
and resolutions were presented by the Receiv-
er Of the Land Office, and the Delegates ap-
pointed to attend the Convention in Jackson,
are in part composed Of the said Editor, Re-
ceiver, a son of the said Register, and an Uni

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT.


Perhaps no State in the Union has. done
less towards Internal Improvement than Mis-.

Banking Companies in the State, chartered
by the Legislature, not more than two, we
believe, have struck the first lex, IN good aitt,
towards the prosecution of those works for
which they were created. Is this right And
can the State remain passive under such cir
cumstances, whilst every other member Of the
Republic Is going-a-head" with their Canals,
their Ship Channels, their Rail Roads, and
their Turnpikes? Surely not Unite Inter.
nal Improvement with our unrivalled Agricul-
tlre, and soon we could become the wealthiest
and proudest of them an. But to do this, the
State must come forward with her mighty aid :
and, in connection with individual enterprise,
undertake and prosecute these public improve.
ments, without which, though we have NIL

we shall yet be poor.
Suppose the Union Bank, with the State Al

CANADA.-The situation Of affairs ID

ing and important. The Patriots, who
are said to Be 5000 strong, have polished
theif Declaration of Indepsnds1ce, ard

from the dominion 81 Cfsal Britain. We
much fear that the sympathy and active.
exertions Of American citizens in behalf
of The Canada Patriots win compromit
the neutrality Of the United States, and
eventually lead 10 misunderstanding be-
tween the two great nations. Gen. Van
Rensselaer,. who figured 50 largely in the
struggle of last year, is again among the
Patriots. The British troops lately fred
into d barre in which some American Of.
icers and soldiers were PassingtO port
on our side Of the line, and one man was
killed. This may lead to considerable
difficulty. The following is an extract Of
a letter 10 the editors Of the National In.
telligencer;
NEW YoRK, November II.
The Canada news is again all impor.
tant. The self.styIed Patriots of Up
per Canada are in arms to the number Of
several hundred. This is new and un.
Expected move, as we were led to suppose
from the news received in the city day be-
| fore yesterday, that the "Patriots" had
been dispersed. and that all was well in
Canada. The last movement made by
the invaders was from the American shore
near 0gdensburg.
A letter dated at Ogdensburg on the
18th inst. 9 O'Clock, P. M. says: Thai
schooner Is in the river, on board o
which are a large number of Patriots
Two hundred Patriots had there taker
possession Of the steamer United States
and been landed upon the Canada shore

occupied by only about fifty regulars.
This letter says its contents are endorsed

burg Times of the 18th instant that the

J ken up bridge nearly, and are determin.
ed to defend themselves. Boats are pas.
sing to and fro across the river, loaded
with men and munitions OF war. Indeed,
all of them were well armed, as it appears
, from all accounts.
A letter dated Ogdensburg on the eve.
ming of the 18th, Z O'Clock, gives further
particulars Of these movements. It says
that BILL JOHNSON is in command Of this
expedition. Four hundred British troops
were on their way to Prescott. The stea.
mer Experiment British) was in the riv'
er and had fred CD the United States, kill

Other letters say that Simultaneous
movement was to be made all along th,
Canadian shore, and nearly all accounts
represent this, the last, TO be the best plan
