AN OLD EsGLIsHMAN's DESCRIPTION OF New

"a glorious topic. it must needs be owned, for jus
tifable defamation. These Al families are now
represented by 5000 900 souls From SIM gle port

by $4,000 seamen, to capture the mightiest mon

tains nearly 5000 Inhabitants within its walls
supports l6 daily and so weekly newspapers, and
maintains $50 public carriages, employing 1000
horses, irrespective of seven railways each OF
which upon an average, conveys 1000 persons per
day. such Is the picture of modern Boston as de-

Total completed and in progress.

From this it appears that Georgia has in opera
ton the Central, Georgia, Macon and Western,
and Western and Atlantic Roads and the Athens
Branch making an entire distance of 642 miles.
The Southwestern, 81 miles, will be in operation
in 80 days. The Atlanta and West Point Road,
40 miles-the Muscogee Road, 25 miles-the
Burke Road, 90 miles, and the Milledgeville Road,
IS miles, making total of 147 miles, will be put
in operation the present summer. This will make
the whole extent of railroads in operation in
Georgia by 1852, 7S9 miles, leaving TIA miles to
be completed. This will, no doubt, be accom-
plished in two years, when the system Of internal
improvements in the State will be almost complete.
The roads already in operation are all prosperous,
and are realizing from eight to sixteen per cent.
clear profit per annum. Thus is demonstrated the
wisdom and importance of proper system Of
Improvements. Georgia, after expending nearly
fourteen millions of dollars, is now tacice as rich
as when she commenced her noble enterprise.

New ORLEANS RAILRoAD.-We learn that
$500 900 have already been subscribed in this city,
for the stock of the Blakely and West Point Road
If half million can be raised here. the work will
be accomplished in three years. The bill giving the
alternate sections for twelve sections along the track
will doubtless become law. These lands of them
selves, will, by the completion of the road, be
enhanced in value, that the stock fairly worth so
per cent from that source alone. The continuation
of this road will perfect the communication between
New Orleans and Savannah and Charleston. But
conemporaneously with it, the roads through the
Carolinas will be finished, and direct continuous
rail road extend from Blakely to Bangor. At pres
ent passengers go up the Alabama river, and then
travel twenty-four hours by stage, in the gap be-
tween the terminus of the West Point Road and
Griffin. But during the coming season, at least
fifty of the hundred miles will be completed Even
it is the Southern route, from its great saving OF
time, and the fine condition of the rail roads, offers
inducements, especially at this season OF the year
Within twelve months, at least twenty-f -four hours
will be saved between here and New York, and
on the completion of the road five days will be the

The Chronicle, fitted up by Henry NJ Rice, to
cruize, like slave ship, to capture wing votes
for printing. by carrying false ship papers and
sailing for the present under wing flag, is GU,
aga inst u, in its issue Of yesterday.
That paper does not deny, however, and dare
not deny, Shat its owner, is Henry NJ. Rice--that
ii is his, bought with his notes given to Mr.. Da-
vid OImsted-that it is his, body, soul and
breeches; nor that it is now in alliance with Mr.
Rice's other organ. If the new organ wiU lie
down with dogs, ii may expect to arise with teas.
We have no alliance, either with the new pratt
cal ship, or the old hulk Of shaver. We seek
nothing that is not fair and open. We have taken
but one political position in Minnesota--and that
position is we'll known. As for the Chronicle, If
the Wings thin it worth their while to sustain it,
lie, them do SO. IT is the apple of Sodom to that
pany-bit,erness to all that taste it; it always
has been and always will be. There is fatality
about it. 1t has blasted the personal hopes and
the political welfare Of every man, and Of every
party, that ever touched it. 1t has the rot; and
so has tn ne~ organ Of Mr.. Rice, by being
thrown into the same bin with it.
Where and what, and whose the Pioneer is,
all may know. 1t is the sole property Of James
VI. Goodhue; and our political creed is, Demo-
cratic Principles, Democratic Men and Demo-
cratic Measures" That is our position. Attack
it, if you think proper. The Pioneer cramls, for
nothing and for nobody. Mr.. Rices Caliban and
Prospero presses, up town, may win, if they can,
by their tactics. We have no tactics, blu, a uni
form, steady purpose to do right, and to deserve
confidence and support. If that fails to carry US
through, it is not our fault.

A DisgracefuI Riot.
PEORIA, Dec. 20.

Our city was again thrown into much excite
n ent to-day. The execution of Brown and Will
lams, for the murder Of Hewitt, was to have
taken place to day; but by an order Of the Gov
ernor, received on Wednesday, was extended TO
the 18th of January next. This not being grn-
orally proven nor credited, large mass of people
from this and the adjoining counties, assembled
to witness the execution, aud being disappointed
IN their expectations, portion Of them resolved
that the prisoners should be executed forthwith,
and urged on by exciting speeches, got possession
Of the scaf1old from the Jail yard, and erected it
the street in front Of the Jail, and effected an
entrance by breaking the doors and locks, and
proceeded with crow-bars, scan.lings, and other
missiles, to the cell, where they met desperate
resistance from Brown, who, although shackIed,
as soon as his cell was opened, stepped into the
hall, dsarmcd few Of the mobiles by taking
from them their crow-bars and scan,lings, bsrri-
caded his cell on the inside, and defed them. He
broke skull or two Of the mobiles and gave
them other striking illustrations Of his entire dis.
approval of such unlawful proceedings.
The mob fell back, and few Of our citizens
stepping in at this iuncture, prevented further vio-
lence. The prisoners were again secured in their
cells, and before dark the crowd dispersed. Thus
ended what at first all supposed 10 be mos, Sc
rious and disgracefal affair.
