JOSEI H DAY. Speake of tl e House ol Repre-entatives. ROBERT M. Et HOLS, President of the Senate. Assented to 21st December 1839. charles j. McDonald, Governor. Secrf-tart of States’ Office, > Milledgeville, Ga.. Jan. 6h, 1840. y I certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the Original Act of file in this office. Given unaer rnv hand and seal of offi e. ' WM. A. TENMLLE. Secretary of Stale. New Militia O ioavizxtiov.— The Re; ort of the Secretary ol War proposes a new organ za tion of the militia upon a national scale. The present system never of much practical use, has generally laden into utter inefficiency and. ex. ept in the case ofvolunteer companies, the whole ha* become more a matter of burlesque than of grave reaii y. The plan proposed by the Secretary re- I commends the Division of the United States into eighty mil tary districts, in each of which 20,000 men are to be enrolled; one bait to be on active duty, and to receive pay, the rale of compensation and the number of days oi servi e in the year be ing fixed by law. The other half are to consti tute a body of reserve, to f»e composed of such as have so. ved four years in the active MlJitia. One fourth of the latter division are so fall into the te- I seive every year: and one fourth of the reserve to , retire from military duty;—the deficiency in the active militia is to be supplied by new recruits. I Twenty five thousand men for each of the eight j districts will give 200 OUO for the whole Union ; j l»eing ab >ut one seventh of the whole number of j militia in the country. The remaining six-sev- ! enihs will ha> e no military duty lo perform except I as their turn may come to serve in the organ .zed 1 body. This plan promise* at least much more efficien- ! cy than the present one. How far the whole or ganization is to he under the control of the Gen eral Go' ernment. in the way • commissioning officers wc have no means of knowing—nor whether in the apportioning of the districts any regard will bg paid lo Ou; e lines.— BJhmore American.

S.Senate by Mr. Ben ton from the i ommittee on Milita:y Affairs, pro poses to grant to the first white settlers, not ex ceeding ten thousand men, able to hear arms, who shall settle in such parts of Florida, east of the Suwancc and south of Cape Sable, as shall he designated by the President of the U. S.. a bounty of three hundred and twenty acres of land each, upon certain conditions named in the sub sequent part of the bill. The most important of these are that the settlements shall be in stations, caeh indud ng not less than forty nor more than one hundred min ; each settler to engage in the cultivation of grain and vegetabb s f.»r his own support or for sa c to others, using the public land about the station for this purpose; each sta tion to he protected by a block house which the settlers are to put up with the aid of the U. S. troops; rations and clothing for one year to be supplied try the Government; and arms and am munition furnished on application at the nearest military p »st. At the return of peace and remov al of the Indians, each settler who shall have complied with these conditions, or his widow and heirs at law in case of his death, shall be entitled to a bounty of three hundred and twenty acres of land as named aim c; the selection to be made by each settler according to priority of settlement, or by lot, when two or more claimants ('ate from the same day of settlement. The bill provides also for frequent inspections of the 'arious sta tions; for the survey of the lands referred to in the first clause, and for the opening of three land offices in the dist> ict. so soon as the same can be safely done. The landsagr .nled to sett Ir- are to be free from taxation, and unalienable e'en by ju dical sale, until the patent is-ues anil for om* year therea’ter. Any settler failing to comply with the terms and conditions t f the Act shall forfeit all rights arising under the some. The bill has been read twice in the Senate.—- Baltimore American. How to grow rich. — Nothing is more ea sv (says Mr. Paulding than to grow rieh. It is only to trust nobody; to befriend none; to heap ime e»t upon interest, cent upon cent; to destroy all the finer feelings of nature, and be rendered mean, miserable, and despised, for some t • rnty or thirty years, and riches will come as sure as disease, disappointment, and a miserable death. rorn the Journal Legislative Mi tches.»< ontmu d Gen.

We should be pleas, d, rom tlie personal .i gaid we have lor him. i we could commend hi» judgment. Witlioul the or gan ot eventuality, a phrenologist vvou.d not be surprised at the Protean phases tie has in a very ■short political »areer pul on. Incous.sten tes. such as lie is ac« used of, justly detract from a • I aa’s influent e. a..d often a.e serious blemishes upon a man’s poll ical ml. gri.y. Mr. L. certain possesses ■ if) resjM ctal.le talents, but they arc ill direeled. He seems to have nnbi(>ed noi a lit tle ot that venom against monopolies, banks, ere. dtt system, &c., wm h is a prevalent manta with a c.•.tain portion of the people. It this gentle man exhibited any judgment in reforming their abuses or in cheesing their tyranny, we should make no oljeetion to his c ourse, but would laud him fur his efforts. As he is, however, he appears to us to need a straight jacket. It has ail, doubt less. preceded from bis being Congress-mad. We hope, now his party have made Iheir nomi nations. that tui** gentleman will have a lucid in terval for a couple ol years. W'e are persuaded that his is nol a confirmed case of political lu nacy. Some people do this gentleman the singu.ar injustice of supposing a.l his h<-ly horror of these tilings is feigned—a mere simulation, and that undei the mass of a haired even to the knife, he is hut operating to advance the interests of some of the Banks of Columbus. VVe don’t lielieve the Col. is such an intriguer. That would bo a deep game. We have seen once or twice in our life,some such thing enacted, but it was by bul ler and m re cunning n en than we esteem Col. L. to be. it is said that this gentleman’s nomination was prevented by Mr. Sturgis. We think be should thank Mr. S, for this kindness, since it affords the Col. an opportunity to rec tify i some of his banking crudities—and to study a little more closely the interests of the people. Andrew J. Miller, Esq. of R c.unonci. This gentleman is a lawyer in full practice. ; Commencing, as we have heard, in Augusta, very poor, he has by the application of the highest I kind ot business faculties to uis profession attain ed a very hands me competency, and a very com manding position at the bar. So entirely has he the confi .ence of the commercial community in which he resides, that we might safely predict Mat under no circumstances can he displaced by any man h >wever formidable for talent. For several year, this gentleman has been a member, first in the House of Representatives as a col teague of Jenkins, and more recently in the &en at . VVhol'y unpretending, we should doubt whether he ever in his Ire aspired to the reputa tion of an eloquent Speaker. He has. in our opinion a more 1 sting reputation than the fl et ing one gained by the tm>el of rhetoric ihat of the soun .est practical Judgment. Clear and c.-ol headed, paient in the examination of every sub. j ject. he is the last mart in the Legislature upon i whom the attempt sh ould be made to put off a 1 sophism. T»n -uch men are worth nr re to ade j hberativc l>ody. than fifty of the most splendid | de- tanners, which could Le selected from the i whole country. Mr. SeuivoEß. of Carroll—This is the iarg | est Democrat of our acqu mtance. We enlure that no one who have overseen this m ' r aiker.on ,of a man can ever forget him. This gentleman I is more remarkable for his personal, than for his 1 intellectual endowments. We would by no means be understood as saying that this person is destitute of either mind or influence—far from it. He has a large share of common sen e, and is an exceedingly good party manager. Very much dis posed to drop into the current of aggrarianisrn by force of party connexions, we have not been sur prised that be is particularly partial to •• Free Banking,” and against monopolies, dec. Not withstanding his decision and thorough-going party attachments, we would much sooner apply to Mr. Springer for aid in any liberal measure, with an expectation of cordial co-operation than to many men of more pretension, and ot more political prominence than himself. VVe have not much acquaintance with this gentleman, yet we have a great regard for him, because he is fat.— He is said to be full of fun and anecdote. We think it very certain therefore that he cannot be a very bad man. Oh Falstafl! thou favorite ot our youthful days! how often hast thy ton of flesh been apparent to our eyes, as we have sur veyed the S mator from Carroll —cap a pie. A iithograpic print of this gentleman intended as a caricature, but an excellent likeness, is to be found in the bookstores of Macon. A better likeness, an inimitable one in profile we saw in Mil led ge ville during the session of the Legislature, by a Mr. Brown. What an • Imira’le law of nature is it, that neither giants nor p ; gmi fi propagate their species in might'udes or miniatures —a na tion of Springers !—o: Titans!!! The mere idea shocks our netves. Mr. Tract, of Bi b.— This Senator is a person *ti ; getier,» —unlike all other men whom we have ever known.

Full of hu mor—sparkling with wit—no barrister who trav els tne circuit adds so much to the general joy o the profession abound a winter’s fireside, as this gentleman. He is a most excellent !awy« r. a better counsellor than advocate. Bul it is not as we h ive occas on illy seen him at the Bar tha’ we meant to sketch him. As a Senator, we think hi u out of place—and we presume he is as sei.- s hie of the uncongcniality of his position to his astes as any looker on ran possibly be. Mr. fra y is not an eloquent speaker—fluent enough, perhaps no man has a greater supply of woim ■ ban h m e!f—but he has such a mass of queei ideas alw ys crowding upon him for utterance — and he u-ually clothes them in u h odd raiment, that we always feel an irrisistible impulse to Hugh.

The first was given in my of fice in Hamburg, when you informed me of having bought the bridge, and was to pay tevenly thou sand dot ars for it; that you had paid twenty thou sand dollars in cash, and werv to pay fifty thou sand dollars in two installments, in one ar.d two years Upon which 1 told you it was a hazardo s purchase, that you yourself weie awa.e of the sit uation of the tit eto the property, am’of mine and jtherclai s to it, which I should feel it my duty to prosecute; and I even furnished 30U with some documents it the time, relative thereto, and advis ed you not to pay them any more money, without ► | the Bank would make you a warranty title for 1 | your safety : which I did not think they would do, ’ because they knew they had not a good title them selves: and second’y, that the Bridge was old and getting weaker, and became more expensive every . i day, and that it not only had to withstand the river ; ! and drift wood, but the destruction of that cursed ’ i thing above, boats breaking loose, and tearing up * 1 those highland wharves, and was therefore indis j pensible to keep it in the best possible repair aj all times. If this was done, I thought it might : , withstand all that, but I did not think it could in t , its present situation. It h*J stood twenty five 5 ; years, but hat was no reason that it would stand ; twenty five years more; that the Bank had neglect ed it most shamefully; that they had made all the f money they could, and have never made a thorough f repair, but w»s satisfied with patch work, the - greater part of which was done by negroes. k Ihe second notice vas last spring, while you * were in Hamburg and Augusta, making a change in the tolls of the Bridge, when I again informed you that essential repairs weie indispensable, and i to the lower part Your reply was, j , that you would come up yourself in the summer, ' | examine and give it a thorough repair, as soon as ' I the river wou.d a-'mit. I have been he.c all the 5 1 I time, and have not seen you m tking examinations , or repairs acro.d ng to p omise. The ri er has ; ! been low all the summer, and is yet o\v enough to i do a’l the wort- necessary. The led of the Bridge, 1 ami the feet of many of the main braces, as well as »he mortices in the po-ds, have been much de- L caved by time and the long exposure to the sun and L aii du.i .g the summer. 1 spo e to the Bridge Keeper, Mr Frazier, re -1 peatediyon the same subject, during the summer, * who informed me that the sic : ness in Augntapre- vented him from getting hands; I ut the sienness never prevented him from getting a man to take j the money; for I foun 1 one there every day duru g . the time. If he w: s not there himself, he had some one in his place. I do not know wo:ds to express my feelings up on this subject. That a struttu.e th;-t has been erected with g;e it skill, at an enormous expense, that realizes twenty thousand dollars annually,and is a common highway over a rebel ious torrent, be > tween two cities and two slates, by day and by night, in all seasons of the year, for these twenty seven yeais and in whi, h the w-ole community ’ a e so deeply interested, and the season so favora ble. should be so wanton y doomed to destruction, is an unpardonable crime; for after once gone, all ex uses and wi 1 not bring it La k 1 again. Jn conformity with a duty due to myse f, as well as to otheis, I fee. it incumbent on me to make you, and the Bank of the tate of Georgia, responsible f t ah the proceeds and damages that may occur Irom the* neglect, from the day it was wrested from me, unti the day it is returned i: a court c>n be found in the Lnited Mates to take jurisdiction. \\ ith due respect I am 3 ours. iiK.NUY SHULTZ.
