tllß MESSAGE.
Tnis e.xceiL at State paper is before t:>*
ptiinir. The ability, clearness, und ri
ailed feelinga of patriotism, with whirl
it ix written, cannot fail to procure for i
every where an agreeable reception. I
embraces many interesting and impor
taut subjects, upon whielf the Legisla
ture will have to net, with all the pi n
donees and wisdom they possess, if thej
wish their proceedings to produce bene
(lend results.
The first topic of the Ale-sago ii
'Cherokee land, and the intruders on sue!
portion of it which contains gold mines
The Go vernor recommends the pussngi
of a law for the removal of all intruder:
by force, if necessary by giving author!
ty to the Executive to e.nll out the militia
lie recommends also the taking posses
shin of the gold mines, In such n nmntiei
ns not to interfere with the right of oc
cnpaiicy of the Indians. From the inca
sage we learn that tltc gold region o
most value, lies between the Chestntei
A: the Etowah rivers. The survey of thi
v\ hole ('herokee territory, is reeOinmen
<led, in order to ascertain where the gob
mines lie, the population of tlic Indians
tiio nature of their improvements, Ac
which would enable the legislature l<
enact proper laws for the governmen
of the Cherokee Indians. The Govern
or gives his reasons, nod supports then
Willi unanswerable arguments for tin
opinion he entertains of the right of ju
risdictiuii and soil possessed by the Stab
over the territory occupied by the Cher
okce Indium). He nil risen 'the pnssiiq
ill laws f..r the. protection Oftlicladiuio
iln ir rights and their properly, therepea
of flic law which prevents Indians .Iron
being competent witnesses -in eerlnii
eases; ami the adoption of some men
sure to prevent the Cherokee Council o
Legislature to meet and to net as an hide
pendent government, lie informs tin
legislature of u notice having heel
transmitted to him, and a copy hnviiq
been served upon the President of tin
(. ailed .States, of the intention to nppl;
to the [Supreme Court of the I'nitei
folates, fur the purpose of obtaining in
order for restraining tlio Stale of Geor
gia in the exercise of its laws over tin
Cherokee Indians mid the territory oceu
jded by (hem. lie is of opinion that w<
■should wait patiently, before acting dell
iiilely, to see what the general govern
:mriil can do If it be found Hint tin
/iTovoriuiKiat of the 'United .Slates cniino
do any riling, then tve must take the mat
' ter in hand ourselves, -lie lays befmx
the legislature a list, which he has re
-eeived from the war depiirliiient, ol* tin
.properly left by Cherokee emigrants am
paid for by the United Stales. The Gov
ernor recommends the taking possessioi
of the property irniuedioteiy, ns belong
lag to the slate, lie gives the informii
lion of tlie unfavorable derision of tin
.President, respecting the tract of coun
try south of the line run by Col. Wales
A tract, containing only 401,(J1G nerec
•is all frpm which the Cberokees liav
been removed—Tills tract is at the dis
jMisnl of the I legislature. It is reportei
that (here nre valuable mines iislhat true
wliieh, in the opinion of llie Governoi
makes it mi insuperable objection t
dispose of d by lottery.
The second topic is tin- census of l's»l
-n taking which the Governor recoin
jute’idslo-include the Cherokees in th
"(.■numeration of the people of the State.
.The •compilation of the laws for tli
"astten• years, 'done by \V. <’. Daw 'SOI
Esq will lie ready for delivery in •Inn
next. The persons appointed toiaspec
die work say, in their report, that fror
l-'OO to IHOSJ, inclusive, there were oal
Wi laws and but few resolutions passe
by the Legislature, ami from P-dO to I 1 '!
inclusive, 70S laws and 391 resolution
while (hiring the last ten years, there wer
1177 laws amiflfloresolutions passed!!
The Governor recommends the estul
“i-hmeiit of n court for Hie correction i
errors, and supports this reeoiiiiiienth 1
lion with ability and trianiphnnt argi
meats, hat which we fear will not he a
tended to by the Legislature.
Tlie bonmlary of tlie rotate with Flor
da, and slavery w the South and the ii
Tfodnetlon of slaws into,the State, ar
also topics ol’ the ‘Message.
With respect of the public roads an
the public bauds, we shall as soon a
wo ran procure the reports of the tw
superintendents, lay before our readers
more enlarged statement than the on
given by the Governor, of the progres
made in the repair of the roads. In th
mean lime we state, from the imo-sagi
that (id mites of good road have been ex
rented, leading to Augusta; 41 to Si:
vnnnali; l.’l to AlUledgeville; 34 to Coliini
bus; and )50 without graduation, in th
oeighhorhood of Hint Itivcr.
i’he Turiflj file Penitentiary, ami tli
University, ire subjects of tliis messngi
The Governor lays before the Legis
lature a very highly interesting correr
pondence with intelligent citizens in thi
State, respecting the ipinntity of cotto
•nut other produce, carried by wagon
iwr the dilibrent roads lending to At
„giista. Savannah, Aincon, Columbus mi
-and AlilledgbvHlc. The iaformation com
ornamented in that correspondence can
mot fail to bt of great importance to th
SegisliUnrc, in the measures they mn;
glial it expedient to-adopt for the improve
jrneiil of Ike public roads. After wo slui
Utave taken a ■view of this eorrespon
denee, we shall hasten to lay before on
readers, the facts it discloses, and nil th
.•iso w hich can be made of'these 'fuels
We must observe, however, that Gov
cruor Gilmer deserves well of tlie Stal
of G'eorgia. lor this attempt at obtainin'
correct statistics of Georgia WJlhevei
what the Governor (dares Ijeforc the le
gislatnre, it can he detenniiuid at once
in what part of the country tlie publi
hands should be employed to repair th
Totals, because the legislature will knov
what quantity of produce pusses througl
the tn-incipul Toads of the State. Tli
public interest would he essentially pre
moled were Governor Gilmer to con
tinue Ids exertions and to extend hi
-views to other branches of the statistic
-of the, state. If the Legislature knew th
quantity of horses, sheep, und entile, th
minnber of Louses, carriages, and th
quantity of land in cultivation, in corr
cotton, or other produce, thci-e are in th
uiu> the relative quantity of th
crops, legislation would lie imieh facilitu
ted; nothing would be done 4n tlie dark
tm many laws would not pass, which tli
next year require amendment or abrogn

Governor Gilmer will persevere in las

At half past 3 o'clock, on Saturday

nations, among which, the American flag
was not the least eonspieltoits. The

It is really surprising to hear men serious)
declare that the Tariff has caused a redaction i
die prices of thu articles on which it operate!
Tins is teMing us, in fact, that an increase o
cost and charges docs net noecssaiity pro.luc
an mcroaeo of price. We wisli they wont
prove, or rather attempt to prove, which die;
are always particularly cautious of avoiding
wtiat they so frequently assert. But they wii
tell you they do provo it. And what is Llioi
proof! Why, that articles oil Which duties ar
paid, have fallen in price since those duties wer
laid on them. Well, what does this show, bu
that they havo fuileij in spite of die Tariff, as a
goods and property have done, gradually, fc
many years.past, whether affected by tlse Tali
or not; and those which pay duties would fa
still lower, most of them in equal proportior
if the duties wore taken off. Take a praotic;
evidence of this—A merchant m this city told e
sometime ago, dial Coffee had then fallen :
least three cents per pound, in anticipation t
the reduction of duty to that amount, on (h
article. Now, show us why this should not b
the case, in a greater or lesser degree, wit
regard to all articles similarly situated. At an
rate, show us how the principle of high dulic
can lower the price of goods, and we will a
once acknowledge.that ourselves and the nppo
items of the Tariff generally, know nothing t
all of the subject.

Hurricane in the West-Indies. —The last J a .
maioa papers and letters, furnish us withlnosl
of the particulars of the injury occasioned by tk B
gale experienced in Jamaica, in the month of
August last, which is represented in the follow
ing brief summary The scene was appal
ling—several vessels wore sunk at the wharves
at Kingston, and the datnage done is estimated
at upwards of twenty thousand pounds sterling,
besides tlie loss of many lives—One brig went
down outside the harbor, carrying with hot the
captain, crew, and passengers, 18 in number.—
Trees, that had been standing for centuries, were
uprooted and blown about like feathers by tho
wind.—Houses prostrated.—Sugar plantations
destroyed, and the fruit and coffee trees com
pletcly stripped. One letter in tho Jamaica pa
per, says, “ The hurricane has left Flamslead a
hoap of ruins. It has exceeded in violence tho
storm of!815, au?l had it continued one hour
longer, I suspect there would not have been a
habitation left in tho Mountains. It is impossible
for words to convoy more than a faint idea of
the awful spectacle. It kept tho brain in one
constant whirl of excitement. Blast after blast
came bellowing with rusistless fury, rending to
pieces every tiling that opposed its progress.-
Large timber trees lorn from the root* and
laid prostrate—roofs of houses whirled intotho
air and scattered like chall before the wind—
tho crashing of timbers —the crumbling of
walls—with tho frightful roaring of tho clc
ments, formed altogether one of the most tcr
rific scenes it is possible for the mind to conceive.
The preservation of property became no objee 1 ,
life itself was in imminent peril, and each suc
ceeding blast was looked upon as a signal of
instant destruction. When the storm subsided,
it almost seemed to cease for the want of fresh
objects on which to wreak its vengeance."
On the J3lh inst. a heavy storm of rain, intej
mingled with large hail stones, accompanied
with unusually vivid Hashes of lightning and loud
thunder, was experienced in the chy of Now-
Yoilt. The Evening Post says, 11 the storm is
■Said to have been the most violent one that lias
occurred in the mouth of October fur many
years,” and adds, “ It is remarkable among old
observers of the signs of the weather, that when
a violent thunder storm occurs after tjrc autuni
rial equinox, a mild winter invariably succeeds
■ Occurring before the vernal cqutnrfx, it is con
sidered an indication of a cold and unproductive
suimnor.”

OLD JOE TIII.VK.tS,
When he sees a Justice of the Peace running
from one Orog Snap to another, and staggering
\ about drunk, that lie dees not well-fit the ollic..
He thinks , that when a Constable gels a poor
j prisoner's money under false pretences, and
1 keeps it, he ought to be kicked out of office.
He thinks, that there arc more men practising
f law, than ever studied it wall, and that if two
tliirds of them would quit it, mid torn to the
• plough, there would be enough left for every
needful |mrpo»o.
1 He thinks it a great grievance, that men should
be appointed to high stations, whose learning is
too limited fur them to discharge their official
functions.
Me thinhs, that if this City could exchange a
set of lazy, drinking, gambling young men, to
the amount of 100, far a set of industrious, so
' 'bermiiidod clerks, it would be better for tho
merchants, and also the young ladies.
He thinks, that if many married men would
quit visiting linr-Hooms, and swigging brandy,
their wives would bavc'more of their company,
' and their families better fare.
■He think), that most people lay heavier taxes
on themselves, than are laid by the Tariff.
I He thirties, that young Indies could be better
1 employed than in spinning street yarn every
• day, ogling this young man, nodding at another,
' and *i\ ing sweet smiles to a third ;—sometime*
1 having three holes in one stocking, and two In
1 the other.
: lie thinks, that the waist of a lady ought to'
1 he os tho hand of Iter Creator made it; and not
1 laced sons to create deformity.
lie thinks, that young ladies ought not to blush
’ at a double entendre. They should never put
1 an immodest construction upon any thing; but
if there bo any thing to blush at, avoid it.
He thinks, that as the beauty and comfort of
life consists in variety, you may pay but little at*
tuntion to the old maxim, of doing as you would
be done by:—it would make the world stupidly
uniform and monotonous.
He thinks, that, excuses being a cheap and
convenient circulating medium, certain persouir
fail not to keep a constant supply cm liand, and
pass them off as occasion requires.
He thinks, that when gentlemen have dined,
they can pick their teeth with a fork,—it is _b
great saving of goose-quill*.

one of your useful and respectable profession,
ho would never refuse publishing hints li H*.
