The following Report of the Committee on Agriculture and Internal Impiovcnioiil, was ta ken up and agreed to : I .Vl'ld It \A L I.MI'ROV I’.tll \T The committee on Agriculture and Internal Improvement, to whom was referred so much of the Message of His Excellency the Governor, and the accompanying documents, its relates to the improvement of tho Roads and Rivers of thin State, respectfully Report:—That the utility of the system adopted by the Act of 1820, cannot be said, as yet, to have been fairly tested ; but as far as your Committee have been enabled to investigate the subject, they are perfectly satisfi ed, under the in.movements which experience will from time lonVne suggest, it canuetbut ho highly beneficial in its results. This conclusion, ynnr Committee, consider themselves warrant ed in drawing, hum the Reports of the Super intendents, a synopsis of which, in tabular form, has been furnished, in pursuance ofa call on the Executive Department for that purpose, and which your Committee asks, may be considered as a part ot this Report. Your Committee would recommend to the attentive and fuvoia hlo consideration of tho General Assembly, the improvements suggested in relation to the exist ing system by DxvniP. Him, house and Thomas I’aci , Enquires, the gentlemen who have bad I the suporintcndency of the improvement of the | Roads and Rivers of tins State, under their direc tion the past year, and which your Committee herewith lay before the General Assembly. In conclusion, your Committee would respectfully recommend the adoption of the following Reso lution Resohcil, that the sum of dollars bo appropriated for tlio payment of the claims of the Superintendents of the public Roads, for their expenditures in the public service; and that said sum be inserted iu the appropriation bill. Iu conformity to a request of the sub-commit lee on Internal Improvement, 1 would res; art fully suggest the following amendments to tlio law of IBlh Dec. I'2B, for tlio Improvement of Roads and libers in tins State. Sec. 2. Tlint im additional minihcr of hands bo purchased for the improvement of roads and rivers. Sec. ft. That one Superintendent take charge oi the public bands to be placed on rivers—and that (be other take charge of those hands that •may be placed on roads, or lliat two be continu ed on roads and one additional superintendent bo appointed Iu lake charge of river operations. Sec. 4. That tho Legislature designate at what places and in what numbers the public hands bo stationed—or give this authority alone to the Superintendents. Si c. 8. That an verseer bo appointed hy tho Superintendents, over every twenty hands placed within their respective divisions of la bor. Bec. 11, That the Salon. : of the Superinten dents ho considerably increased, and that the salaries of the overseers be not increased—that the Superintendents he authorized to appoint sub-intondents, not exceeding one for every 100 hands and live overseers with a salary corres ponding to their intermediate stations. Sec. 12. That the roads already commenced to ho worked, bo furnished to any named extent; and that other roads or rivers lie designated fur the operation of the public hands, by the Legis lature or by the Superintendents. Sec. 10. That there be an increased appro priation for the prosecution of the public works. I would also respectfully suggest the follow ing additional provisions: That the Superintendents he authorized to call upon the overseers of district hands, (nt any time when they may consider such a call to bo necessary) to repair any portion of tho public roads which may have been worked on by the public hands, and which may (by flood or other cause) bo damaged—or to call such district hands to work on such portions of the public roads as the public hands may not have reached —whenever these may need immediate repair. That the Superintendents be authorized to requite the services of Comity surveyors in lay ing off or admeasuring new or old-roads. That the Superintendents bo authorized to sell, in lb* most public mid fair manner, any negroes that may be unprofitable to the Sla service, by reason of vicious habits, or diseased constitutions. Regarding the probable cost of prosecuting the present system, I think the expenses, alto gether, may be estimated at sfi>* to SOO per mile, for road operations, where trees and stumps are taken out for a width of 110 feet. 1 think, also, by concentrating the public bands, and having a sufficient number of overseers, more work can be done, (by exciting rivalry and em ulation) than in any other manner—and the Su perintendents can thereby give more personal attention to the progress of the works. Respectfully submitted, DAVID I’. HILLIIOUSE. Milledgetillc, 10 tU Xor, 18110. In compliance with a request made by the sub-committee on Internal improvement, I would make such suggestions as would best promote I I the public interest, touching the late adopted system of Internal Improvement. I beg leave respectfully to offer your committee the follow ing remarks. Ist. That tho Superintendents should bo au thnrized to employ their own overseers, with the authority to dismiss instantcr, ami employ others according to the necessity of tlio case; inasmuch as the Superintendent's duty is to pro tect the interest of the Stale, as much in the judicious application of negro force, as the ex penditure of money. 2nd That the commissioners of Tow ns should In} empowered to appoint a surveyor to survey the routes of the different roads, at the periods and places that shall be recommended by the Sujie.rinlemlcnls. The Superintendent being often so engaged 1n other matters, ns to preclude tho possibility of bis minute attention to ibis particular branch ofhis duty. Urd. 1 recommend that an increase of salary of the .Superintendents, sufficient to cover the contingent expenses necessarily decayed in carrying on the business of Internal Improve ment—and that such increase ho such as to leave a nett profit adequate to the services of such public officer. 4lh. I recommend that the wages of overseers be increased—llictr duty being laborious and confining. slh. I recommend that the lime appropriated to work the bands on li.o Rivers and the Roads, should not be specified, inasmuch that there arc periods when a whole year may elapse without aflurdmg advantages such us to warrant their going to work with effect, on the Rivers, when other years afford seasons to work almost the period. Itisnot tho same case on Roads—any period, and any time, cun be appropriated to ad vantage. (ilh. To prevent the loss necessarily incurred by feeding horses and oxen owned by the Stale, and kept in use for Internal Improvement, I suggest the propriety of submitting to the judg ment of your superintendents, the necessity of retaining at all times, a portion of your bauds working on the roads, and with authority, in that time, to appoint fur that purpose, and at that period, a suitable overseer. Mlb. To present to your view tlio-probable cost per mile, m improving the Roads, upon the present system, permit me to give you a calcu lation" from the operations of the present year, with a remark, that as tlio operations were alto gether experimental, my experience lias satisfied I mo, after tho experiment liu» been reduced to practice, anti that system substantiated, that the cost will diminish one third. 1 expended, to tal, SO,OOO Deduct, for tools, horses, carriages, «kc. 2,000 $4,000 I have worked one hundred miles, which being divided, leaves expenses to each mile, of forty ddllars. I have the honor to be,'Gentlemen, \our Committee's most o’bl. bumble ser’vt. THOMAS RACE, Sup't. MUledgecillc, 111/. A'or. 18S0. Saturday, Dec. 4. The Laud bill, yon will have perceived, was taken up iu the Senate today. When it will bo decided on in that body, is very uncertain; but it is expected that it w ill bo taken up in commit tee of the whole, on Wednesday next. It may bo considered certain, that the Senate will not pass it in its present shape; and when it conies hack to the House, with amendments, there will doubtless be another struggle upon it there; for so various and conflicting are the view s on the subject, of members from ditt'orcut sections of the Slate, that it is absolutely impossible to model any land lull so as to satisfy all—or even a majority, entirely. As it is, it satisfies no one. Fur the original movers of the bill, it docs not go far enough—for others, it goes 100 far, iu some particulars—for others it goes too far alto gether—and for the members ft om the frontier counties, who, tho' it docs not by any means satisfy them, struggled bard for its passage, and against its reconsideration—it contains two pro visions so obnoxious as to have induced them to vote against it, (in which case it would have been lost) but that they feared, by destroying this bill, they would get none ; and they prefer to take an unsatisfactory one rather titan none at all. The provisions alluded to, are tho exclu sion ot those who have dug gold on the territory, from the privilege of a draw in tho lottery— which w ill affect a very largo portion of the citi zens of the frontier counties—and tlio require ment oi'Jire. years residence in tho State, pre vious to the passage of tlio act, instead of three years, as in all former lotteries; as many of the citizens of tfiosn counties of those coun ties have emigrated there from other Slates, within the term of fivo years. On tlie Lund question in general, there are in the Legislature, three distinct divisions, or parties. One of these—tho advocates of the present bill iu its original shape—affirm both the right and the expediency of immediately survey lug and taking possession of the land; .aid are disposed to do so at all hazards; and in despite of all consequences and prudential considera tions. One ofits loading friends and supporters, Mr. Reach ol Richmond, in reply to arguments urging the impropriety and danger, even if we have the right, of urging it, unnecessarily, to the hazard of a violent contest with the Presi dent and the General Government, said he would not yield n right of tho State fcj- ten thousand General Jacksons, and that he would calmly sit 1 down and calculate (lie value of the Union, and consider it a rope of sand, rather than give up ; one inch of tho land. In another instance, in ■ charging with inconsistency, those who were r partisans of Governor Troup in 1826—7, and s now opposed to taking forcible possession of the , land, ho quoted the language of Gov. Troup, I saying that in supporting the rights of the Slate, ■ “when he had exhausted the argument he would ■ stand by his anus’’—and would rather that “it • should be recorded that Georgia was,” than I yield or tamper with.thoso rights. Another division deny both the right and expediency of taking possession of the land, iind are opposed to acting at all on the subject, or, at farthest, to going beyond a survey of it, intodis ta.icts, for the purpose of aiding the Slate in more effectually exercising its jurisdiction over the Indians.—And the third, taking a middle course, and partly or wholly acknowledging the | right, oppose the bxpediency of taking posses sion, but yield, perhaps reluctantly, to making an entire survey, and all preparations for a lot lery and possession, as early as the latter can be effected peaceably, and uninterruptedly. But there are still more considerations opera ting on the subject—and these arc of party complexion. In my lettcroflhc 27th ult. I stal ed that it was by no means a party question; hut in that I meant to he understood, that it-was not . a decided question between the two old parties I called Claik and Troup. There are, now, three I partivs—lhc old 01-i/k party, which tlocc* n»i act at all on this subject with party views and feedings; and, except those from tho frontier counties, and a few others who arc pledged to their constituents, I believe they arc generally moderate—and with a’ strong attachment In their old and uniform favorite, Gen. Jacusox, not disposed to toko any steps, which may bring us pito a conflict wi'hhhn and the General Govern ment. . The Troup parly is divided into the Craivfcrd and (Ulmer parties. The former is bitterly op posed to the present Governor. The present land hill originated with that party, and it is be lieved was got up principally with a view of breaking him down. At any rale, they do not hesitate to declare that it will effect this object, if it passes, and speak of its probable success with nn air of much triumph, in that point of view. The Gilmer party oppose it with all their might, anil made every possible effort, in its progress through the House, to remove the great responsibility which it imposes on the Governor. Mr. Gn.MKn is certainly placed in a most un pleasant, embarrassing, and dangerous predica ment ; but for lids be lias no one to blame bu* himself. He “neglected”—yea, with a strange and suicidal fatuity, rejected, hat “tide in the affairs of men,” which but lately flowed so proudly in his favor, and offered so gratuitously to “lead him on to fortune.” Previous to the Into gubernatorial election, many of his former political friends had determined on his down fall. Who saved him?—his opponents! Be lieving him, tho’ radically and unchangeably op posed to them, to be an honest, generous and persecuted man, they gratuitously stepped for ward in Ins behalf; and not only saved him from political annihilation, but placed him on a pinna cle more lofty, independent, and magnificent, than had ever before, boon occupied by a Gov ernor of Georgia. They did this, ns 1 have al -1 ready remarked altogether gratuitously—expcct -1 ing from him nothing, as a party, and only de siring that he should seize upon the flattering 1 opportunity they offered him, of becoming the 1 Governor of the State rather than of a party. He entered the executive chair, as none had over done before him, wholly unfettered by . parly restrictions, and at liberty to advance the great general good of tho State, with an “even handed justice,” nobly studying the wel fare, not of a few, but tho whole. It is true, it Was said that they advanced him-from motives of personal & parly aggrandisement. He, him self, knows this to bo false. At least he knows, (as wo know, who were wholly in the confi dence of the leading men of the party) that they asked of him no pledges or promises whatever, hut unknowingly left him wholly at liberty to pursue, when elected, whatever enursn lie might choose. They could as easily have elect ed his opponent as him; and perhaps they had better prospects of jmrly success, by doing so. And ho knows, too, that when elected, they kept wholly aloof from him, and while others besieged him for favors and offices, scorned to prejudice tho honorable and patriotic motives with which they had elected him, by giving to theta the slightest tinge of self-interest. They had long been an abused and persecuted paity —wholly excluded, for opinion’s Sake, fiom all partieipntioir in she honors and offices of the State, while they willingly bore an equal portion ot its burthens. They were tired of party, which had so long been a serious evil to the Stale—destructive of its peace and welfare— and they hoped that Mr. Gilmer would seize, with avidity, the flattering opportunity afforded him, of restoring harmony to its people and its councils, and united energy to its best interests. ( They scorned, as I have remarked, to ask him for , office, but ns an equal portion of the people of . the Slate, they naturally expected, in tho dis intuition of (lie honors and offices, to which they , had an equal right, that he would not forget their | just claims upon him, not as the head of their , party, or in return for electing him, but as Go- , vernor of tho State, and oftlic people generally. Ho voluntarily acknowledged this claim, in , his first message, by declaring that he would be . tho Governor of the State and not of a party. , Here was a solemn pledge to tho people: but | ho did not rospectit. At least, he became the Go- , vomor of a party, and in doing so, kicked down, | regardless of its service, the’ ladder which raised ( him—and which would have sustained him, un- ( dcr aH consequences, had ho hut manifested, 6 oven in a small degree, a disposition to respect ( thorn and their rights, as a part of the people. He was scarcely fixed in his scat, when a co- | alition was formed between him and the cne- , my from whom they had formerly protected him, Mr. Forsyth. At least in the Senatorial elec , lion, his immediate friends throw their influence , into tho scale ofMr. Forsyth, who would other- t wise have been defeated, as he deserved to bo, t by those of tho people whom he had unjustly ( proscribed, gvcq xyjjjle Jft, officially advocated , t their doctrines. His proscription was theres™ 1 the most cruel they had ever suffered under > Cut Mr. Gilmer was afraid ofhim, notwitl )stantf ' i ing that he had defeated him, and was deairom , * b X sending him to Washington, to remove hi,,’ 1 outof his own way. Nor was this all WTnl, t the Clark party hold back from the elections 0 f , officers of the under something ||l, B , an understanding, thaWlark men should receive 1 half of the State-House officers, when the el* c . tions for them came on, Mr. Gilmer’s friend, again threw their weight, into the scale against them, and proscribed them as before. Mr. Gib mor also continued entire, the proscriptive ad ministration of Mr. Forsyth, and I understand took opportunities to justify this to the Clark party, by stating that he considered it his duly as the Governor of the Stale, to administer tfo Government as he faund it. Ho forgot, or at least did not state it, that the opposition of the people to that administration, was one of th, leading causes of his election. But this excuse cannot avail him; for even where racanfieshave occurred, he has continued the same proscriptive policy, in filling them.

Some say this was done to. please all panics—thinking that it would ho popular with the thoroughgoing Slate rights pa** ly, and those desirous to got the land, to declaru this right, and that, while his popularity was suf ficient to prevent its exercise by tho reeommciie datiun ot magnanimity, this recommendation would please and fully satisfy the moderate pari ty. In this ho is entirely mistaken. His cnej tines have seized upon it with avidity. In ac» cordancc with Ins declaration of right, they brought in the present Eand-bill, ami have con tinually cited his declaration, in proof that they have the rigiit to take possession. In some of the frontier counties, they havo already got up a strong excitement against him, fur opposing tho occiifimo, of 11,0 land, vv bile Ilf acknow k:Hg. es the right to it; and it is said that in Museo-' geo iftid Carroll counties, he has been shot, atvl burnt, in effigy, on this account. In Ihc Legis lature,they have introduced into tho bill, a clause, placing on him the dangerous responsibility of ordering out the surveyors whenever Ac shall consider it expedient to do so; and the inmost efforts of his friends, to exclude this clause, and then to amend it, by saying that he was not to order them out till ho received information from the President that tho Indian title had been ex tinguished, or that he, Ihc President, would nut interfere w ith the progress of the survey it occu pancy on the part of the State—were entirely de feated. V\ hat will ho tho consequences of this clause ? The people, or a large portion of them, and particularly his enemies, tfssnrcd by hint that they have the right, will clamor unceasingly for a survey, and endeavor, by every moans, to pervert his motives for preventing it.’ (I shook! remark, that it is generally understood hero, that he is decidedly averste to a survey, and anxious (• it to he prevented.) And if yield ing to these clamors, he should order a survey, and a serious difficulty should ensue with tho General Government, which would bo almost certain, the censure of the measure will ho thrown entirely upon him; and even the advo cates ofthe hill will say that they hud placed th-er -operation of the law entirely within his discretion and control, and that he should not have carried it into effect, till assured ho could do go safely. It is said, that if the hill should pass, he will evade this responsibility, and throw it back oa the advocates of die measure, by ordering out die Surveyors immediately, on the plea, that a* they rejected the explanatory amendment, pro viding that he should wait the instructions alrea dy mentioned, from tho President, it was of course iheir intention that he should not do so, .and, as nothing more can he looked for. to change the present posture of affairs, that he has nothing ’ else to justify delay, and consequentlv no courso * left ; hut to proceed to a survey instanter. They will answer him, however, that he has nothing to do with the views of the Legislature, further than as they are communicated to him througlt, the bill itself; ami that it was made one of the arguments against the introduction ofthe amend ment alluded to, that it was already provided, that ho should order a survey whenever he thought it proper to do so, whether on said in formation from tho President, or any other, and consequently, ashehadpdl discretionary power, to wait for such information or not, as circum- - stances should dictate, it was altogether unne cessary to prescribe such a restriction. Some say that he will avoid the responsibility by putting his veto on tho bill. But how can he do that? He has affirmed the right to survey ( - and therefore cannot veto it on the ground of no right; and certainly cannot do so on the plea of want of “magnanimity." But lam informed that he has said something of its i/hconstitution ality, and pointed out, as proof, that danse of tho State Constitution, in section 2fl, article J, which provided that the Indrati lurid s’hafi ctft
