We publi.‘ h in to-day’s paper two sets of reso lutions introduced into the Legislature of Geor gia, one by Col. John If.

Col. Howard, and Ms. Alexander, are both prominent members of the State Ri hts party. Thl resolutions of Col. Howard, maintain sub stanially the following positions: Ist. That there ought to be-a total disconnec tion of Government from all banks. 2d. That a National Bank in every shape is in icon emu lion al, inexpedient and dangerous. 3J. That TrciiawyiiotvS should be issued as the permanent policy of the country, and lor the 1 purpose cf collecting and disbursing the public revemes, and to create a National currency. 1 4it.

They coiiiemn the issue of Treasury notes as ‘-uu . coktitutional, inexpedient and repugnant to the - epfct of our Government.

They did not move or come out of the houses to oppose my advance. The ISjxmndcrs opened with good clfcct upon the stone building near the mill. Capt. Sandon with two gun boats, in w hich lie carried two 18 pounders, took up a position below the windmill, which he commanded, but not with much effect. After cannonading these buildings for An hour or rather more, and observ ing the brigands to be quilting them and endeav oring to escape, I ordered the troops to advance ; very little resistance was offered by the party oc cupying the windmill, but a small lire was opposed to us from the adjoining stone building. It, being dark bo for the troops got around these and the brigands in the windmill hav ing displayed a w hite Hag, they w ere summoned to surrender themselves unconditionally, which they did. Eighty six prisoners were immediate ly secured, and 16 others, who were wounded, were removed from the mill as soon as conven ience could be found—-a large supply oi arms, 26 powder mid three pieces ol ordnance fell into our hand?:. Some of the brigands effected' their escape from the buildings when darkness came cn. and hid themselves in the brush wood on the bank under the mill. I directed the militia to si out this bank, and several prisoners w'ere secured, among others a Pole calling himself Gen. \an Sault, .. who, it is understood, was the principal leader. « **A 11 buildings adjoining the mill we destroyed, but the latter I directed to be occupied by a company .of Militia, ami propose that it should continue to be so, or entirely demolished. lam happy to say the service was performed wi*.li the loss of one man only of the 83d Kcg’t.

Certain visionary schemers arc engaged in at tempting by alternate cringing and frowning to in duce the Banks of this city to lend their aid to the managers of the Geo R.

At a meeting of the Union party hi HUledgo viilo on Friday evening last, the following rcsolu -1 lions were passed. They are significant ol seve ■ ral things. ’ Ist. That the Union party feel that as a party ’ their days are numbered—thole dominion is at an 1 end, and for tho purpose of vamping up their failing fortunes, they arc fishing with a pin-hook 1 for Stale Rights Sub-Treasury men. We retnem -5 her well how they fished for Troup Union men ! 2d. For tho purpose of mending and patching uo, the broken down administration of Van Bu ' ren, in the South, they nominate John Forsyth “as the candidate of the South for Vice Presi dent!

If he is supported by .other not merely tickled, why not ndmiitSe “ candidate of the South” for President 1 The South is just as potent to elect a “ caiidldalc of jhe South” for President, os Vice-President, and therefore why not make a nomination that will do us some good 1 These Vice-President makers will hardly claim Van Duren as the “candidate of the South’’ for President. We do won der if the people of Georgia will suffer themselves to be stuff d with such chaff, and cheated with such contemptible humbuggery 1 Nominate a man for Vice-President, peculiarly as “THE candidate of the South,” to be run on the same ti ket with a Northern man for President, who must depend chiefly for his election upon North ern votes ! Mr. Forsyth, as a man and a states man, we respect, while we differ with him—but to use his name as “ the candidate 017//c South’ for Vice-President to buy up voles for Van Duren is a stratagem 100 shallow even for our coiitcn pt.

Re olved farther. That a convention to represent those in favor of the Sub-Treasury, and of a strict construction of the constitution; ou posed to a Bank of the United States, and to any candidate for the Presidency imbued with high tariff, abolition, or other latitudinarian notions of the constitution, assemble at the State House in Miiledgeville, on tho third Monday in December next, to nominate the candidate for the guberna torial chair, to be run by the party, and that the said convention shall lie composed of the members of the Legislature of these principles, together will all delegates sent by our those counties not represented in ihcir principles in the Legislature, (the timber of delegates from each county, to he c iuaUto the number of members suchgpunty is entitled to.) and these counties not ihus i dly represented, arc earnestly requested send a sulii dent number of delegates to make out a l ull representation in said convention. 4.
