They have lirecled the cbrAmlffioners to pnflpone the file of the Eraftional Sutvevs jo »he counties of Wilkinson, Baldwin and Wayne, until fur’her orders from thelegifla. tore or 'he Executive ; and the bill fur their difpor.l it is fippofed will meet with soma rivifioo, f' as to compel the parchafers to give security.

COMMUNICATION Ofhis Excellency the Governor, to tilth branches of the Legislature, Fellow Citizens of the Senate and of the House of Repee/intatives * PJR.SU AN r to your reqaeft, as expref f?d in a concurred refoldtion pitted at your lift session, immediately on receiving official information thst the Convention, concluded between the United State* and the Creek Nation of Indians, for certain lands in the fork of the Oconee and Ocmalgee rivers, had been duly ratified, I tffued the procla mation in conference of which you are ru)w convened.—“ This information was con veyed to ms by a letter from the Secretary of wav, dated, the ilth of April lad, a copy of which is herewith inolofed. The Surveyor General has informed me that, from his calculation, acceding to the boundaries preferred by this conveh tion, a copy of which is also inclofed, the State hai acquired three millions twenty five thousand nine hundred and thirty acres of land, the far greater part of which is said to he of good quality. With you rests f %, dtfpofal of this acquisition, and no doubt, you will bear in mind, that many years may pass over before the State will again have at her command, a property as Valuable as th« present. We have it now amply* to Ont power* to difeharge the just debts of the State, and the principles of juflice and morality call on ns to do so.—-The time will coma when thofc demands must be paid, and to ncglcft procuring from this resource, a fund for that purpofc will be to keep our Citizens, for no Ihort length of time, under the burthen of a tax already too great, but which, if the present opportunity is not managed to advantage, 1 fear it will be found ncccflary to incrcafc.—lt may fairly be presumed that the land now obtained is efficient to enable us to relieve our Citizens from the dread of this increase of tax—to provide for the payment of the State debt-.and so fecofc usbhe means of accomplishing some of the most to be desired objects of Government —such as the ereftirg a Penitentiary improving the navigation #f our water courfcs---providing arms for the defence of our Country— -and aiding the funds of the institutions for the education of our youth. It will be with you, in difpofmg of this territory, to guard against every plan which might open a door to speculation. —To have it laid out in fmail trafts, as was done with that cedea by the treaty of Fort Wilkinson, would in my opinion be proper—large surveys, in ihe poffeiuon of individuals, endanger orr liberty, and arc injurious to the interest .of the oy being kept from cultivation.-—A Citizen who can call but'a few acres his own, feels an independence and fatisUftion, which arc not enjoyed by the urftable tenant. An opinion seems to prevail, and I think not without foundation, that the aft, pal fed at the last session of the Legislature, for difpofmn of the fraftional parts of surveys in the counties of Baldwin, Wilkinson and Wayne, is not calculated to arfwer its in tended pnrpofe, and benefit the State.-—I would therefore recommend a revision ei that aft to ycur early attention, as from &e aJvertue&wnt d the cd-rtmlffianefs ap pjintc.l to carry it into elftft, it a?pcari that flic Tale of thole furvcys is to commence on the i6:h of the present month. A lift of the Executive appointments, made, under the gth feftion of the id arii cle of the confticutioo of this State, to fill vaoartcics, which have happened fmee the adjournment of the Lcgilhturc, is transmit ted for your consideration. 1 he death of Major General James Jack s-n, wlidfc term as i Senator, far this State, in the Congrcfsof the United States, would not have expired until the 4/h of March next, has occasioned a vacancy in that body, which, with the vacancy, occaHoned by his death also, iii the military department of the State* remains to he filled. You must hav«s viewed, witti intcreftlng concern, the important fubjefts, in regard to foreign relations, which have lately en gaged the attention of «ur national Councils ---and though We have reason to hope that the refuit of their deliberations, aided by the penetration and wisdom of the chief mugiftrate of the nation* may occaflon our differences abroad to eventuate in peace, and to the intefeft of oiir Country, y*t as the iflue is ftili involved iri uncertainty, it be hovts yodi, on your return to yoar rcfpcc. live homes, to intpire l and cultivate as much ad pofllble a ibllltafy zeal- among our Citizens } for it is a maxim which may be greatly relied on, that tobcalWaye pre pared far war, is the best means of pre fer ving peace, : JOHN MILLED3E.

So long since as the year 1799, the fub feriber employed Owen Megir, and another poor Carpenter, to build a house, and the firft step ncceffary was to advance 20 dj. to purchase tools : a few days after, Megar came with information that his partner had decamped with the tools, and another work man rmxft be employed ; this was soon done • but more tools were to be purchased ; and the fubferiber was advised to keep a property in them, until the job was finifhed to pre vent another trick. At the final fcttlcmanr, mere than fix years hee, THE SUBSCRIBER DELIVERED to Mesar, a written statement op THE ACCOUNT, AND PAID THE BALANCE in cash, telling him, the fubferiber was ready to explain the items to any friend who could read* In the present M nth, ttxe fubferiber finds Meg»r at the Magistrate’s court, ready to swear to art Account of one line,- vihich had never been delivered (t To painting your House 30 dollars,’ 1 alt ho a'firft rate workeman would have blushed to charge 1 • dollars for the fart daubed hy Megar ; be also boasted that he had another account tor 30 dollars ready to exhibit, for the bal ance of the building. To those Friends, who are not acquainted with the law of evidence, it is necessary to obfetve, the affirmative oath mull be re ceived by the Magiftrare, and that the fub feriber’s swearing to the above statement would not have been fufficicnt to destroy the eff-fts of Megar's refofeitated faculties : but will any Reafnable Being, believe that so poor a man would omit for 6 years deliver ing his account ? Fortunately for the fuhfcr'ther’s feelings, and. those es his friends, Mr. tSeorge Adam one of the City Council , can certify , that in an Account offome magnitude , no fnbterfuge nuas Attempted; the demandvJas JUST, and no length of time could obliterate the payment in the opinion of T.
