II will be recohec,ed chat this is but the
beginning Of a new aud important brauch
Of trade in Georgia. The day is nos
distant when there will pass over iho
Georgia Roads t,ro milliiossbushels of corn
two hundred thousand barrels Of -four aud
other produce 10 like proportion. We
have recently seen a calculation which
proved that expenses upon Bacon from
Cincinnati, via New Orleans by water,
are greater than they would be by Rail-
road, over the contemplated Pennsylvania
track to Philadelphia and New York. The
distance from Phi. adelphia 10 direc, line.
is about as gfea: as from Savannah or
Charleston to the mouth Of The Ohio River
and as the Southern line would have innu-
lnerable advantages. it follows that we
can safely compete with River Navigation,
for the trade ,npt only of Tennessee and
Kentucky, but Of the vast country stretch,
ing norhward to the Lakes.-MGon ia.

-ibut veneration f,r the memory OF The
grandfather, the gratitude of his old con-

we may presume the merh of. the candf-
