<;IIK«»>H*I.K AM) SKNTINKI.. AUGUSTA. THURSDAY MORNING, NOVF.MBKft 28. The Northern mail came through last night, but brought no tiding* ol the long-lookcd-for •“Queen.” The Legislature of Sout . Carolina aaaemliled on Monday laat. The message of Gov. Noble ia quite abort, compared with the majority of such documents now-a-days. We ahall endeavor to find room for extract* from it. It will be seen by the letter of our correspon dent. that the Bank question is now in full blast in the Senate. The Western and Atlantic Rail Road is also on it* trial. Measures, l>oih of them of vast importance to the welfare and honor of Georgia. The decision, whether right or wron . will be pretty much the result of accident. May some good genius turn the scale, and the country be saved. Bank ol Mlllcdgeville. The Georgia Journal says—ln several of our exchange papers, we notice a statement which say* that a large number of the bill* of the Bunk of Miiledgoville have been protested in this place. We have only to remark that this is not the fact. The platea, dies, dtc. of the Ruckersville Bank ing Company, (say* the Federal Union.) being under the control of the Comptroller and l om tnissioners, they have delivered to the oinpuny about eighty thousand dollars of their hills. The remaining forty thousand dollars in hills they arc entitled to receive, will l>c delivered as soon as they can be registered and countersigned. I bus it will lie seen, that the free banking law of Geor gia has gone into operation. From our Correspondent. Millipokvii.i>Ri Nov. 25. 1839. I* SK N ATI-. Reconsiderations. —On motion of Mr. Kelly, the Senate reconsidered «o much of the journals as relates to the rejection of the bill to alter and amend a pari of the lat section of the 3d article of the constitution. Bills reported. —Mr. Neal—To repeal an act to regulate and equalise the fee between the Tux Collector and Receiver of Decatur county. Mr. Billups—To alter and amend the 3d and 7th section of the Ist article of iho constitution. Also, a bill to alter and amend the Ist section of an act to establish a general system of educa tion by common schools. Mr. Crane—To regulate judgments, so for as to protect innocent purchasers after a certain time. Mr. Waters—To authorize David Hutchings of the county of Floyd, to establish a ferry across the Oostualee river, on his own land. The Senate lien discussed the bill to regulate me emi—iwi «n ua« * «• - circumstances, and to compel the resumption of specie payments within a given time. After almost innumerable amendments had been tendered, and conseeuti ely rejected after debate, pending s motion of Mr. Jones, ol Leo, to liy the original Gill and substitute upon the ta ble for the balance of the session, an adjourn ment was proposed and effected. Mr. Stanford addressed the Senate in regard to his amendment; Mr. Miller against it. Dr. Branham also parti cipated in the debate. He contended that the safest and most certain remedy for the distresses of the country was, under existing pecuniary af fairs, to be found in the bill as it was introduced; and that should this measure lie defeated, that the circulation, already too small, would be di minished to an alarming and oppressive degree of contraction. Mr. Lewis, in the most unmeasured terms, an. imadverted upon banks, and all monopolies and incorporations. He was thorough in his con ► victions that an unrelenting prosecution should be urged by the Governor, under legislative ac tion, against these soulless, artificial persons.— There was no final action. I* IIOCSK OF HKPHKHKNTATIVKB. The House refused to reconsider its journals, so far as regarded the rejection of the Supremo Court bill.

The bill to reimburse the counly of Jones mo ney expended in ihe prosecution and conuiction Elijah Burlier, was laid on ;.hc table fur the bal ance of the session. November 26. In the House to-day, the bill for Iho organiza tion of a new circuit from the Chattahoochee. Southern, dtc., was laid on the table for the bal ance of the session. The finances are so low, that it linn militated against the passage of this necessary law. Mr. Fohsttii, in answer to an invitation to a dinner, from some of his friends in this place, ssems to be particularly pleased that “the Stale ' has been redeemed from the strangely false posi- 1 lion in which it had been placed by the errors of our political opponents.” We wonder what was his own position a year 1 or two ago, when little Van wanted to drive him ' from his Cabinet; and what was his own position ' wtien he made his celebrated Appeal to Georgia ' ami the South, in the Washington Globe—in ( which, if we have not been misinformed by bis 1 friends, in his very bitterest stylo, (and wc all know what that thing is) he set forth at large, the ( abominations of tho whole concern, We can , but express our utter astonishment, knowing the , limn as we do, and bis pride of character, we can t but feel Iho greatest astonishment, how he ran i reconcile to his feelings his own present “strange- I ly false position,” in remaining in n Cabinet from ( whieh he was so uncrrimoniously dismissed ; nn ceremoniously we call it. for Van knew, that he r might as well have proposed to Mr. Forsyth to ( got, Africa, as to Austria. We think the See- f relarv of State, in view of this interesting little s in saying fioreaUer ns iftlle as’ possible about. Ii “strangely false positions.”— Southern Recorder, v Skva to n Fostkii.—The letter ol the Horn 0 Ephraim H. Foster, resigning hi* seal in the Se. ( ' mile of the United States, was received and read 1 in both houses of the Gene al Assembly yesler- r day. ft was rend in the House, by Mr. Watson. one of the Rep esenlalives ol the county, and in n the Senate by Dr. Jennings, our representative in n that body. We hesitate not in pronouncing it *' one of the ablest documents of the kind extant. I In the House nn attempt was made to keep it 1 from being spread upon the Journal—but it prov- 1 ed abortive, fifteen members only voting to keep ( ' it from the record. 1 In the Senate, however, the parti/ screwed * themselves up to the gagg'ng point and voted to * keep it from their journal. As soon as the vote 1 was taken. Dr. Jennings rose and gave notire that ‘ he would enteritis protest against the vote of the ‘ Senate, denying Ihe letter of resignation of tho * Hon. E 11. Foster a place upon the journal. ‘ Nashville Banner, Report Os Ihe Commissioners appointed by authority \ of the Legislature, on the subject of the Stale I Finances. — Continued. , The stage of their investigations, however, at i which they have now arrived seems opportune i fur pausing awhile, in order to survey and dcvcl- 1 ope some of the fundamental principles on which 1 a permanent system of finance tor the Stale i should lie based. All tho expenses of whatsoev er kind to which government arc liable, fall un- ' dcr two great heads: i L Such as are ordinary, permanent and cv- < cr-recurring with great equableness, from year to 1 year, throughout long and continuous periods of lime. To this class belong all expenditures in- 1 cident to the maintainunce of government, the ' making and the administration of laws, and the I support of all institutions and the advancement < of all objects which form a part of the permanent ' policy of a country, and of which the support and 1 advancement create a continued drain ol money I t from the Treasury. 2. Those which are in their nature extraor- ' dinaiy, occasional and temporary, falling with 1 great weight on particular nnd brief periods of time, and then terminating forever. Ol (his kind are the expenditures growing out of astute ol 1 war. and out of the erection of great and costly I public works of un enduring character, such as . ' foitresses, canals, railways &c. || These two divisions obviously embrace all the i original and substantive causes of expense thal I can occur to a government. Hut out of the ne- I ccssitios to which they frequently gi»e rise there ' ,is sometimes born a third kind, entirely deriva- 1 i live in its character, and partaking ol the nature ' lot both the others. Os this sort is a large public 1 I debt, of which the interest is stipulated to be paid I (si regular and short intervals, and the principal at < I a remote period. The payments of the interest i joo such a debt are appropriately classed mi the < first of the above stated general divisions; and • the ultimate redemption of the capital, in the sec- f ond. Well, Georgia has actually contracted a 1 deh. of this description to the amount of three ' quarters ,<f a million, borrowed upon her bonds I of which the interest is payable every six months t ami thep.mcipal at the end of thirty years- and ' ■ her bonds for another equal amount hive already * I been issued, and only await a market t„ raiie ' I ~l<> t" a million and n half of dollars _ I I 1 Moreover, Georgia has for near twenty y Mrg I j ma le the patronage of youthful education an an I i I mid charge on ihe Treasury. It has become nnd • 'V“I forever continue a part of her settle ! policy i i ami a permanent branch of fiscal expenditure.— I'he ordinary support of government is of course to be set down as i perm ment expense, rcouir- I mg annual and ptrp tual supplies. n , We have then, dearly, three branches of' ex- ( pciiditure, namely, the mt< real on the public debt, | lire patronage ot youthful Education, anil the or dinary support of (iovernrnem, which mil within ihe first of the above staled general divisions and from demands on the Treasury, of a permanent, umlbrm and regular character, and which there fore require that the Treasury klioulJ have sup plies equally permanently uniform and regular. In regard then, to making provision for these three branches ot expenditure, the course which financial wisdom inculcates is plain. It is that Government should provide for them by a sys tem oi revenue which shall with certainty and permanency bring inlo the Treasury an annual income equal lo their aggregate amount. Aot only is this course pointed out, by mere financial wisdom—it is commanded by a stern financial necessity.—For there are but two other courses open to the option of Government. both of which are in their nature but temporary, and must even , tually and inevitul ly end in that above slated.— The first ol these is only applicable to ihe case of a Government rich in the possession ot large fis cal wealth already acquired. So circumstanced, it may for a time like an opulent individual sub sist on its capital without having any income.— lint unlike the individual, im life is almost sure toout-lnsl and its necessities to exhaust that cap ital. however large, which it is daily consuming. It is at this point, that the other alternative, that of borrowing capital on which to suh-ist, presents itself. Hut, Governments as well us individuals will soon cense to he able to borrow, il’lhey neg lect lo provide the means of paying with punctu ality both interest and principal, as they respec tively become due. So that, in the case of a Go vernment so profligate, if supposed, as to borrow itself, that is, without raising revenurMn order to pay, —upon the consumption of the amount of the first loan, all shifts and expedients would lie at I an end, no alternation would remain—but to per ish for lack of supplies, or to obtain Ihe necessary aliment by drawing on the taxable resources of the Country. Hut if there la? good iaith. and an honest intention to fulfil its obligations, this al ternative comes sooner—comes at the beginning of the loan, and makes it imperative to raise an annual revenue sufficient not only for its ordina ry support and miscellaneous expenses,but also lor the perioilieal payment of the interest, and the ultimate redemption of the rapital of its debts; whit b last object is lo lie effected by raising annu ally revenue enough to defray all llie current charges of every kind falling on the year, and to leave besides such a surplus as will by gradual accummulation from year, to year, neate at length a fund sufficient lo meet the principal of the debt at maturity. In accordance with these principles, Ihe per manent scheme of raising revenue which will in the sequel, be presented, is flamed with a view of obtaining, by taxation and profits on Uunk stocks owned by the State, annum income adequate: Ist, To ihe ordinary support of Government; 2d To the inainlaiiiancc ol the system of public Ed ucation: 3d, To the periodical payments o! the interest on the public debt; and 4ih, To the lea ving an annual surplus, after all these objects un satisfied. which shall, by ‘■onsiiiol accretion, be come sufficient to pay the principal of the public debt at the time when it shall bo finally due. In the second grand division of public expen ditures, namely, those which are extraordinary, occasional and temporary, and which fall with great weight in particular short periods, and then terminate forever—no other enterprise or busi ness in which the State is engaged can claim to lie classed except the great system of Railroad im provement now in progress, for the connection of our Atlantic coast and rivers with the Tennessee river, and, through it. with the vast and produc tive regions drained liy the Mississippi. The State, governed by an enliglvrd and comprehen sive non ot the great interests of her people, and , K’-"' l '. her geographical position, she p.qjPts f m * ad vancing, those interests to the highest point, has stepped forward and taken upon Itcrscll the exe cution ot that portion of this system which ia of common utility io all the other parts, ai d lo al most every part of her terrilorily. From the mo ment of Iter espousal of Ihe great enterprise she i has devoted herselt to its comjdelion with a .-pirit and energy worthy of its granducr of design, and of the honor and blessings which it is destined to bring lo her through all coming lime. To the ; present generation will belong the glory of , rigi nating and accomplishing, within a few veira, the magnificent work—a glory which iheiiau erasers will contemplate with evei-ndniiring gaze. Inti can never hope to excel or equal—for neither her own natural capabilities, nor those of anv section of our widespread Union, present a prac ticable theatre for any similar work that could claim comparison with it—in felicity of position, extent of connections, case and cheapness of exe cution, and tbc vastness and variety ol its agri cultural, commercial and political usefulness. It would be in harsh discord with reason, with justice, with every principle of sound poti y which has ever characterized onlighh ned commu nities, to hold that the cost of this great work, which is to descend us a rich and en ielting in heritance to all tinure times.oughlto be levied by taxation, on the people of the day of its execution and within the Uriel span ol years t mploved in its execution. Such a principle, if recognized by Governments, would deter mankind Iron: all great and costly works, however useful or important ; it would effectually close the door against all val uable and permanent Internal Improvements, and doom the country to languish under the perpetu al want ot all channels ol communication distant pails, except those which nature gave, or private enlerprize might be stimulated to supply. If the same principle be carried out to its legiti mate consequences, it would end in the monstrous conclusion, that a free people must lie estopped from defending themselves against conquest and enslavement by a foreign enemy, if, perchance, they should be unable or unwilling both to fight the battles of their country, and to defray, by tax ation on their property during the progress of the War the whole cost of its prosecution. Me dwell with exulting pride on the memory ot our ances tors because they fought ami bled, and won Inde pendence and liberty for themselves and for us;, although they did not lax themselves timing thre continuance of the struggle, with the w Ik U of its huge expense of money, and consequently, entail • ed upon fit'ure years, and asi cceeejmp genera tion, a heavy pecuniary debt. A debt, how sa all tit comparison with the inheritance it comril tiled to purchase! And what infamy would they not ha>e earned, in lieu of the g ory which ism.w their’s and their country’s f. utter: Wbat de basement and slavery would they not have trai s mittod to us, in place ol the g.ealttess the leficitv and the liberty whit It we now enjoy at their hands, had they made liio dread of incurring sml entailing a heavy public debt, a pretext for sUb mission to tyranny. A like view ts applicable to evt ry war. For principle on which it is fonr.d ed is, that lor the defence of the country against great evils or for acquiring for I great and petma ncut benefits, it is proper and patriotic to lake measures necessary to the e obje. Is.cvcn though they involve an expenditure of'money mo heavy to be borne by the period of their execution, and requiring therefore to be d slribmed between pte sciil uml future limes; H rule most equitable as "i’ll :is iiocessary, Ihtuiiki* future time* pucwchl to the advantages of such measures, in all the tuitions of bullion, whilst to those by wl om they a c achieved they ore often only fell in tr lusive tbippings. and not unfrrquently enjoyed merely in rapturous prosjiecl. And can it he argued that this noblest and in isi enetieenl principle ot human nature, that by which each generation of a country is prompt ed, whenever occasion arises, to draw to the aid of its own energies those of unborn millions by 5 the -implc piucess ot fiscal anticipation, and wield 1 tin* whole in a mighty effort for some great and j endurmg good which could be no otherwise ac- j complisbed, is a principle which isto lie dormant ( in limes of peace, and is allowed devclopement . and action onlv on fields of war and amidst the din of arms ! Will the people and Government of Georgia tie up their own han Is and refuse lo execute a great, though peaceful work, on the ground that they may not, in these halcyon days, attempt any high achievement of which they arc not prepared to pay the cost at every step, ns it is taken 1 So have not thought our people or Gov ernment. They embarked in the great undertaking of uniting our Atlantic waters with those of the Mississippi and its tributaries, under no such mis conception of the policy by which such n work should he accomplished, as that the whole cost ot it should be extracted by taxation, from the pock ets of our citizens, during the process of its exe cution. They viewed it as a work in which the future was interested as much as the present, and more than the present, —and, therefore, they regard it as a sound and patriotic principle, to draw on the pecuniary resources el the future in aid of the present, by contracting a debt which the future must contribute to discharge. In pursuance of this principle, the sequel of the present report treats this vork as one not to he completed with means levied by taxation, but by loans and credit* based on an anticipation of the resources of the future ; and suggests the manner in winch such anticipation may be made certainly effective for the purpose, notwithstanding the impossibility of obtaining loans in the great money markets ol the world, at the present era ot unparalleled pecunia ry embarrassment and dis rust. It results from the view which has been taken that the funds of the are those only w hich are to he found in the Central Bank and in the pockets of the people. Lest any should believe th it the unexpended balances of former specific appropriations would afford to their extent an available fund, the undersigned deemed it neces sary lo investigate these, so far as to enable them to form an opinion upon that subject. They are entirely satisfied that no reliance can be placed upon this resource, and advert to it now merely for the purpose of offering some suggestions in re lation to past and future appropriations of the same nature. By the act 0f!799, the Comptroller is required to keep fair and accurate accounts, shewing the several appropriations of money, &c., &e.; and by the same act, it is made his duty to report to ilie Legislature, within the first week of each an nual session, an account of all balances of appro priations remaining unexpended at the close of each political year. The first part of thisreqnis ilion is complied with, by cheeking at the Comp troller's office, the warrant which is drawn for any specific appropriation, and entering it in a book kept for that purpose. Until the acts of 1838, to regulate the auditing of accounts, he does not ap pear to have possessed the means of complying with the last, for want, of any efficient provision to secure the accountability of those persons who are immediately intrusted with the expenditure of monies specifically appropriated. Even now, it is thought, as considerable sums of money proba bly remain in the bands of such persons, unaii plied, and unaccounted for, that it would he ad visable lo pass an act, amendatory of those acts, which should authorize the designation by the Governor of some one of the present Stale House officers, or the appointment of one for that speci fic purpose, w'.o should be empowered and requi red lo institute an enquiry into the disbursement of past, appropriations, with an authority,to require accounts from thosi persons who have been intrus ted to disburse them, and in cases which may re quire it, to institute actions at law. or hills in equi- | ty. in the name and behalf of the State, against all u r— — —ay tail lo account satisfactorily making it the duty of such officer, annually, on . the first Monday in October, to report to the Comptroller his actings and doings in the premi ses, and to pay into the Treasury any amount vvin.-K T„.,y t,„„„ h«.o r , j-ollooted hv him. up to that time. Instead of the general requl.K\„„ ; n tll „ 1 act ot 1838, to make due anil periodical reports, a provision is recommended requiring that the persons intrusted with the expenditure of speci fic appropriations shall, annually, on the Ist Mon day in October, render to the Comptroller an ac count, sustained by proper vouchers, shewing the amount whieh has been expended by them, and , that which remains in their hands, and upon the 1 requisition of the Gov ernor, and within a lime by him to be prescribed, shall pay into the Treasury any unexpented balance remaining in their hands. That it he moreover made the duty of the Comptroller, upon the requisition of the Cover- ! nor. to submit to his inspection all accounts so rendered, whether they relate to past or future ap propriations, and that the Governor lie authorised from time to time, to give such directions in rela tion to the whole subject of specific appropriations, past or future, as the public interest may in his judgment require.
