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.

Instantly the ery was raised and the bells rung, bat before the students were apprised of their danger, or scarcely any one had arrived at the scene of conflagration, a large part of the roof was enveloped inflames. There was now no hdpe of saving the building, and efforts wer«Anadc-to remove the .proper ; ’y, but ns a large portion of the persons assembled were unacquainted with the interior of it, and consequently reluctant to venture into itiie -«[>(>«r rooms, these • efforts were only-puctially successful. In (lie foartli st(n-y parlkiulnrly, tlie loss ol ■ private properly was very great.

It was nearly three hours before - the building was consumed; mid when , the flames bad died away, and the roar - had ceased, it wus at the darkest hour ol r night which precedes the light of mor > fling, mid which by its striking contrast - with the previous unnatural brightness,' i made each one donhly feel the loneHness, !, of darkness.

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.” St__ ion THE CHRO.MCI.E &i ADVERTISER. 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*.
