In my letters I have had frequent occasion to notice the multiplicity of local Legislation, which its equally unimportant and uninteresting. This is an evil of no small magnitude and calls lo idly for correction. The truth is, that two thir is (at least) of the time of both bodies, is consumed in business of this character, and the result is, th.it the important business of (he country is not tin fre quently retarded, but it is hurried through w ith out that deliberation and investigation whic'h its importance demands. And it is not imoro ude that those matters of general importance are some times staged off, to give |place lo the introduction and passage of measures exclusively local. This subject is one, however, which requires a more ex tended notice, than the limits of a letter will al low, and I can only call the attention of your ea ders to a subject Which imperiously demands the attention of the whole people of Georgiw, ic whosa hands the power rests to correct the evil. As to the manner and mode of correction, I esunot of course add any thing on this occasion. The Senate yesterday were engaged during the day in arranging the details of a Bill for the org.n . -- ization of a Court ‘for the correction of E’iO;S # which being arranged are as follows : There shall be three Jndges, who shall be elected for two, four and six years, the time Which each shall hold to be determined bnj lot —shall each receive a salary ‘0f2600 dollars, and shall hold their sittings once in .. .each jear at the folk)wring places: Hinesville in Liberty county, Washington, Wilkes county, Ma con, Bibb county, Gainesville, Hall county and Talbwtton, Talbot county. Having concluded the details the Senator from Bulloch, moved to lay the Bill on the table for tne balance of the session. Cn this motion, the Hon. A. J, Miller, took the floor, and entertained ! lhe Senate and a large and highly gratified audience, with a most powerful and con clusive speech, in favor of the Bill, and in opposi tion to the motion. He was followed in a few brief remarks, by (he Senators from Paulding and 'Chatham, on th? same side, and the Senators from Walton and Harris in opposition. The question was then taken and decided in the negative. And the Senate adjourned. When I closed my letter yesterday, the House Was progressing in the call of the counties, during which Mr. Flournoy, of Washington, introduced a Bill to abolish capital punishments so far as relates to white persons, except for the crime of treason. This is an important measure, and deserves the most matur? deliberation of all Legislators, and I shall rejoice to see that feature of barbarism ex cluded from our statute books. Mr. Stephen, of Taliaferro, introduced an im {nrtant resolution, which prohibits the introduction of any new matter after Monday next—which it is to be sincerely hoped will be adopted. The remainder of the sitting, in the House, was devoted principally to local legislation, and the reading of Bills a second time. This morning the two houses met. The Senate proceeded to the unfinished business of \ esterday. the Court Bill, and a debate is now going on, in which Messrs. Calhoun, Gordon and Floyd, have advocated the Bill, and Messrs. Cnastain and Ke nan opposed, and Mr. Echols of Walton, is now occupying the attention of the Senate in reply to Mr. Floyd of Walton. When he concludes, the question will be taken on the passage of the Bill, hut tie result will not be Known in time for this communication. The Senator from Walker died this morning. J. Milledgeville, Tuesday P. M. Since my communication of this morning wa closed, the question on the passage of the bill e? tablishing a Court for the Correction of Errors, ha, • been taken in the Senate. The yeas were 31 th nays 50—-so the bill was lost, and such is the de tided majority against it, that it may be regardc as settled for this session, and for another ye; Georgia will present to her sister Slates the extra ordinary position of requiring by her constitute the establishment of such a Court, and yet am; , jority of her legislators, who are sworn to suppoi that constitution, refuse to organize it. J. Morgan County Tippecanoe Club. This Association, at a meeting held on the 13t iast., unanimously passed the following resolution;. Resolved , That we view the contest in whic, tlie peop-e of the United States have recently bee engaged, as a slm -gie between office-holders an the peop e ; between ambition and patriotism ; co; - ruptiou and honesty. Resolved , That we hail the result of the elet Lons in our own and sNter States, as affording th people assurance that Gen. William if. Harrison, the people’s friend, the people’s favorite, and the . people’s deliverer, is elected President of the Uni ted states. Resolved , That, as the Tippecanoe Club of Mor gan County was among the first to raise the ban eer of “ Harrison, Tyler and Reform,” there is a special propriety in our meeting for a public cele bration of the triumph of the people and the con stitution; and that a committee be appointed to make arrangements sui able io the occasion. Agreeably to the third resolution, the following gentlemen were appointed a committee of arrange, meats :—H. J. Ogilby, Lewis Graves, E. E. Jones, . Charles Whiting, Win. B- Wiley, Augustus Reese, Win. Johnson, R. H. Fretwcll, J. T. McNeal, and J. G. Rives. On motion of Dr. H. J. Ogilby— Resolved, That these proceedings bepublnhed in Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel, and Milledgeville Recorder. A. ALDEN, Pres’t. A. A- Overton, Secretary. Me. Editor—l am told a memorial is in circu lation for signatures against tne immediate re sumption of our Banks,— l hope they will publish it, with a list of the names, that it may be seen who is in favor of exchange going up again to 10 or 15 per cent, premium. It will soon be that if the opinion prevails that our Banks will not resume, f£ per cent, premium was freely yesterday, and probably it will be higher to-day. A MERCHANT.

The Jurv iu the case of Eldridge afte r cut since fhursuay, returned into Court this mor ning with a verdict of jtot cuiitt.—/W- The Milled geville Journal of Tuesday says:— By Tire following table, r>ur readers will perceive that Georgia has nobly sustained herself. The aggregate below is taken from the OJJkici Re turn *, of all the counties in the State except two. anti the vote of those two having been forwardeu ■t t« us by letter, we have added them in. The rca ority is indeed overwhelming. Gen. Clinch am. Mr. Campbell. the two highest upon the Harrison ticket, are 8 360 votes ahead of Mr. . Bulloch, the highest upon the V. B. ticket. And • Gen. Wimberly, the lowest upon the Harrison | ticket, is 8,390 votes ahead of Gen. Dates, the lowest upon the Van Bu en ticket. Twenty votes cover the Harrison ticket, and fifty the V. B. ticket. The average Harrison majority, is 8 377. It would not be improper here to ask, w hat has become of the 35.000 votes polled in October, for the Van Buren Congressional ticket? It was charged upon the Harrison party that fraud was practised by them at the October e ec tior. Now, if so. how does it happen that in No vember ihey have polled again within the neigh borhood of their October vote, while the Van Buren party, counting in even the famous "Pond Town Precinct ,** lack several thousands of their former vote. How is this 1 Let those who have blundered so much about fraud practised by the Harrison party answer. AGGREGATE tot*. Harrison Ticket. Van Buren Tickets D. L.

The undersigned, citizens of Richmond County, re -5 pectfulty represent to the Honorable , the Senate and House of Representatives, of the Slate of ’ Georgia, in General Assembly met: * ( That any act having for its object a speedy re storation of Specie Payments by the Banks of Georgia, would of necessity greatly increase the pecuniary difficulties under which our citizens la bor. If, as your Memorialists believe, the suspen sions of 1837 were made unavoidable by the then • state of the country, they think hazard nothing in the opinion, that the existing state of things is much ’ more adverse to a resumption, than was the then j difficulty of sustaining cash payments. Your Me i morialists respectfully point you to the Cotton | crop of the present year, which is admitted cannot • exceed half a crop ; now with this, the only effec • live means of the country, abridge one half, is it supposed the citizens of Georgia can meet their payments I —and that too with a circulation i which all concede wil be curtailed, by a resort to specie payments. Already the circulation is teo small for the legitimate wants of the country. What then must be the effect of resumption ? The Banks thus coerced, are impelled tq the necessity of requiring prompt payments from their debtors ; the city Merchants, who in return make like re quirements of the country Merchants $ and they in turn, similar requisitions of the Planter. Is he in a condition to meet these demands ? Let his blight ed fields answer. They therefore pra-, that no legislative action be had upon the subject; but. if in the opinion of youi Honorably body, a contrary course be desira ble, they do hope, that a mode of gradual resump tion, something after the plan proposed by the Hon. Mr. Rogers, of the House, meet your approval, it being less oppressive in its operations upon the people. It will be peceived that several of your Memo rialist were among the number recently praying you for a general and early resumption of Specie Payments ; subsequent reflection and developments have convinced them of the evil which would in evitably result from such a measure. Extract of a letter to the Editors of the Savannah Ri publican, dated Gillion, Baker County, (Ga) Nov. 3d 1840 r ‘•The crop in this section of country, is very good in comparison to other sections of the State. The Cotton has a very fine weed, and pretty well boiled, and has escaped the worm measurably. On the wboie, theie will oe a fair crop of Cotton made in this and adjoining Counties, and an abundance of Corn.” f Population or W«E ELn(O . —The census ! complete of the inhabitants of Wheeling and i suburbs exhibits a total of 8.793.

With regard to p ■ per money and the tariff, we are not sure that he has made out h.s case, for Id say the least the constitution is ambiguous on these sub j jects, and.the principle dl boeVal practice and con ; strut tion is against his view of the matter. His remarks on the increasing supremacy of the exec tive will and Its tendcficy is to absorb the powers ot the other departments of the government, or mane them its subservient instruments, are but too wel. founded in the history oi the past. We have been particularly plea ed to find the able author, altho 1 a Virginian, harnessing himself against the rig-ht of instruction, and toldiy arraigning its exercise as the means of degrading the Senate, and annihi lating its constitutional power, and in fact depriv ing our political system of its conservative princi ple.

Pucket immediately drew trigger, the pistol went off, and the ball emeied the abdomen of Lyles, who expired without again speaking. Pucket has absconded.

The highest mortality of English women by consump tion may be ascribed partly to the in-door life which they lead, and partlv to the compression, preventing the expansion of the chest, by cos tume. In both ways they are deprived of free draughts of vital air and the altered blood depo sits tuberculous matter with fatal, unnatural feli city. 31.000 English women died in one year of this incurable malady. Will not tnis impres sive fact induce persons of rank and influence to set their countrywomen right in the article of dress, and lead them to abandon a practice which disfigures the body, strangles the chest, produces nervous or other disorders, and has an unquesti-in% able tendency to implant an incurable hectic ma lady in the frame?

The operations of business will ot course continue to be embarrassed for some time by ihe provisions of a law yet in existence, y and especially by the want of a currency equival s eni to specie, of universal credit, and of equal val - ue in every part of the country. But yet the* hitherto relentless war of the Administration against the people must he stopped ; and with the cassation of that hostility, there must be a revi val of business—the restoration of confidence— and the return of some degree of our former pros peiity.—Madisonian. 1 1 The Voice of \k\t York.—A plain-wor i king mao handed in at the office on Saturday . this brie! and admirable summing up of the result . in this Stale: r “ The withering rebuke and individual disgrace . of a President, being rejected by his own native l Slate, has never before happened since the Inde , pendence of the United States; and the proof that the man deserved it, may be found in the . fact that he runs behind the tickets associated I with him, generally, even Clerks, Sheriffs, and , Coroners, as well as State and Congress.

Gazette is important to a great number of our citizens—‘-We are happy to stale to our Van Buren brethren that the naviga tion of Salt river is in excellent order—the whole ! stream perfectly hoatable. We found it very * pleasant coming down a few days since ; and we ' doubt not that, all things considered, the upward * navigation will be safe. As it regards the settle ment, we may say, from a great many years’ resi * denee, that it is comfortable and retired. The quarters which our party occupied—a party pro verbial for making themselves comfortable will be opened to the Van Buren men, and we fcom mend to them that agreeable philosophy which I we learned and practised in those green retreats; and as it regards our future movements, we say that, having rowed up the Salt River our oppen ents, we reserve the same canoe for ourselves a whenever our country’s cause shad so need our rowing up. We have received Texas papers says the New Orleans Courier, as late as the 7th inst., but find them barren of information ; excepting, however, the following paragraph, could it be believed: “Intelligence has reached Austin that another revolution has occurred in the city of Mexico, that Gomez Farias is in the presidential chair, and Bustamente, the re-aepoted, is at the head ol two thousand men some .eagues from the capital.” T«1 r B.iif M wu-k reported n slfi. *hore U Ground.
