Taking the Lam into his OWR HaHds.-n Boston,
on the 18th ult,, Capt Coggeshall, Of the shin Ala
hama, was brought before the IT, 5. Commissioner
to answer to complaint for assaulting William
Marshall, one Of the crew, in the port of Fayaoo,
one OF the Friendly Islands, A row had taken
place between Marshall and the first mate, and
very insulting language had passed between them
Wien the first mate, assisted by the third mate,
undertook TO pound Marshall, in the scude the
llnrd mate receiving severe wound with knife
Marshall then made himself scarce, until bv the
assistance OF one Of the native chiefs he was can
tured and brought on board the ship where he was
| kept prisoner in irons until it was ascertained
That the mates wound was not mortal AT Va.
Vaoo there were no courts, or other regular means
for punlshlng, according to law Marshall for stab
bling the mate, and the captain could not reconcile
1t with his notions the eternal fitness of things ,,
that such high-handed offence should 20 nm
whipped Of Justice" He therefore proceeded 10
supply the deficiency in the common law OF the
place by applying to the case the principles of ma
tural equity, which were administered in the shane
Of an efficient ilogging, SccuEdum urtum ropes
eadam. Having solemny and scientifically exc
culed upon Marshall the jura nature, as univer.
sally recognized anterior 10 the Christian dspen-
sation, and somewhat extensively practiced upon
in nominal Chrstendom since, the captain sent
him ashore. In pursuing this course, however, the
commissioner was of opinion that he had thrust
his head into the jaws olthe United States statute,
which prohibits assaults " from malice, hatred, or
revenge on board of American vessels, and he
was held to answer al the approaching term of the
U. S. District Court. The preceding case having
been disposed of, the captain was arraigned on a
second complaint for setting Marshall ashore and
abandoning him in a foreign port, contrary TO law
but the commissioner considered Marshall's pre-
vious conduct as justifyng his discharge from the
vessel, though it did not excuse The other IN de Of
punishment adopted. This complaint was there
fore dismissed.

the gross earnings of the road for the first year
Allowing $4,000 for the working of the road,
and $4,000 for contingent expenses, and it leaves
100000 as the net earnings of the road, which is
over II per cent. on the estimated cost. In this
estimate we have not placed the passengers at one

of this improvement; nor have we placed any thing

our object being to lay before our readers state

chile by reasoning We might though with great
proPrlety have assumed that there would have been
material increase in the production of the country
predicated upon this improvement, for there is no
| truth more fully recognized, than that as you
diminish the expense and increase the facilities of
transportation, you not only nuse vitality into the
production of a country, but you find new objects
for the employment of its labor, and open for it
new sources of commerce. Wherever improve
ments have penetrated into the country, they have
called into life its capacity for production and filled
it with population. Western New York was rich
in its SOIL and grand in it's forests before internal
improvements filled it with teeming population
Canals and railroads came, and it is now beautiful
in its fields, rich in its productions, and joyous in

to their receipts must have resulted alone from the
increased production of the country. How fire.
quently do see rich and productive lands laying
| uncutvsted until some line Of improvement reaches
hem then they pour forth their riches to reward the
aborer for his toll. Diminish the expense OF trans
portatlon, and you by that much increase the
wealth OF the producer Before the opening Of the
Indiana Canal, the price of corn on the Wabash
was from Is to 20 cents per bushel it is now
worth from 80 to 40 cents per bushe, and thus has
that improvement added more than 100 per cent. to
the wealth of the country. As therefore the uni.
form effect of internal improvements has been TO
increase the production OF country we might
with much proprety have increased our estimate
of the profits of this road based upon this increased
productveness but we have deemed it sufficient to
refer to the present capacity of the country to sup
port this improvement. In addition to the earn.
ngs ofthe road ba sed upon the trade of the coun-
try, the stockholders may rely with much certainty
upon grant by Congress of the alternate sections
of land. This seems to have become the settled
policy of the Government, and there is not queS-
ton that this road would receive this aid. As the
resources of the country become developed and
population increased, these lands would greatly
appreciate in value, and before five years had
passed would pay fully one-haf of the cost OF
constructing the road. We have thus rapidly
glanced at some of the causes which would make
AN investment in this road, when regarded simply
as an interest-paying stock, safe and judicious.

Neworleaus and Internal improvements.

In referring to the Jackson Railroad, on Monday,
we gave some general estimates of its cost and if
these estimates be correct-and we believe them to
be above instead of below the true cosl-it is but
necessary to glance at the country through which
passes to see that its stock must pay handsome
dividend. In this State, it would receive the pa
tronage of the Parishes of st. Tammany, Wash.
ington and St. Helena, containing population OF
over 10000; and in Mississippi twuuld command
the larger portion of the trade of twenty-five cou-
ties, containing near 100000 acres of land, win
a population of over 100000, and producing over
10000 bales cotton. When it IS recoHecteu una
not onehalf of this land has yet passed i[ol,i '"e
hands of the General Government 1t IS NOT u'i'''''
to understand that the opening through 1t oI new
expeditions and cheap channel 10 markell mus
| have n powerful influence In increasing i'S PoP'"'
ton and production. But, without relying upon
any increase which might be the consequence oi
this Improvement, if the working OF Inc roads IN
the rest of the Union may be relied on as iurhis-
inc any data, then there cannot ne uount mat a
road, ministerng TO the wants oil 2uV,ooo people,
nrincipally engaged in agricultural pursuits, Will
nav a handsome interest on the investment of some
| % OOOOO But in estimating the probable bust
ness of this road, we have the earnings of the
Vicksburg road as a data to show that the trade o
the country is amply sufficient for the support o
this improvement. The Vcksburg road, extend
ing to Jackson, a distance of 4G miles, simply re
ieves the planters of the interior from that distance
ofIand- carriage without placing their produce at
point where it is to find its market. The delay
and expense of reshipment have to be incurred a
Vicksburg yet on this road there were transported
for the eleven months ending the 30h June last
32,O22 passengers; which would give about $500
for the year. The average transportation Of cotto
is about $4,000 bales per year; and the extent c
the inward freight may be inferred from the fol
lowing items, taken from the returns of this rOa
The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1850-10-23

From this data an approximate estimate can be
made of The production as well as the consumption
of the country, The contemplated road to Jack
son passes over more than three times the extent OF
country that the Vicksburg road does, and brings
it in more direct connection with this city. The
loss, expense and consumption Of time incident 10
rsshipments, are avoided on this road and the
trip from jackson to this city would be made in
about ten hours, including stoppages, it wond be a
saving of four-filths of the time consumed in the
present line of travel 10 the shipment of cotton,
the planters would the entire cost Of the trans
portation from Vicksburg, and in their upward
freights a still greater saving would be made. Pas
sengers would be able to reach Newt Orleans in one
fifth the time it requires, and at less than half
the cost. These advantages would necessarily draw
to the road the greater portion of the trade and
travel BY reference to the railroads passing
through agricultural districts, it will be that
the up freighs about equal to the down reights
| on this road, we have no doubt they would be
greater. As from official statements we learn that
The counties in Mississippi that would be depend
ent on this road, produce over 10000 bales OF
cotton, we can, with some degree of certainty,
estimate the earnings for the first year, and the
following estimate will be an approximation:
