Those mid other matters of detail, are
properly brought to view by nn officer
vvlio seeks to lie practically useful. The
most remarkable feature in the report, is
a recommendation to change the mode
of imposing ml valorem duties upon im
ports, which the Secretary proposes for
consideration preparatory to-the revi
sion ofthe system which must lake place
on the payment ofthe public debt.
Tlie change proposed, is to change the
duties on the value of the goods in tlie
United States market, instead ofthe ear
rent value in the foreign eoui»t£y where
' the goods are produced, with tlie addi
1‘ lion of sundry charges, nml 10 or 80‘per
cent, on tlie foreign price.
'J'lie objections to the present mode
and the advantages expected from the
change, lire briefly examined in the re
port. The‘ objections suggested are :
‘ i, The ditlieully of ascertaining (lie
> current value of goods in the foreign
innrket.
• 8. The opportunity afforded tSlhiinln
‘ lent dealers to deceive the custom house
r officers. The advantages resulting from
■ such frauds are distinctly shown. A also
: those given to foreign merchants, who.
• by buying cheaper limn American mcr
-8 chants: pay a lower rate of duty.
8. That the duty which is intended'to
’ hr' paid by the consumer is vdVen paid by
V the importer, while the mi
s’ frequently obtains in bis advance a por
tion of what ought to accrue to,the ft're
• nue. \
8 4. That the tendency is to inrtrapo the
1 hazard of commercial enterprja* by ren
dering prices unsteady; to expel honest
American merchant# from the importing
- business, mid throw it either into the
■ hands of those who have no scruples of
1 conscience, or into the hands of Ibreign?
; ers.
, The Secretary suggests another chirp
» lion to the present mode of imposing Uu-
J «ji .jL-jp
- I — m 1 r
c ties- not less interesting thrtn novel to the
s great mass of readers, viz; that, owing to
)- nn erroneous computation of the pound
t- sterling at the custom house, and the dis
i- feionse between the-true relative value
e of gold and silver, and that established
by law in the United States, the importer
t- of goods from England, pays duty on 71
I- percent, lebs (hall their actual cost; while
e the importer from Portugal, in conse
n queqt'C of the erroneous computation of
■. the miirea on tlie house, pays dn
- tyon nl>3iit 111, |>er cent, more than the
uetunl cost'.
s All thedc objections, in the opinion of
, (lie Secretary, will be overcome; the rc
- venue better seem ed, and the various in
, tei c-ts of the country better protected,
i hy appraising the goods nt their proper
I v alue in the United states, mid charging
• the duties thereon.
'J'lie ifaiportnnt change suggesteel by
p tho (Meeretury in the mode of nscertain

to this report n character of peculiar in
terest. It eatinot be dp.ubled that the

enveloped in mystery. About hall past
H o'clock on Thursday light, a respect
able young lady aged 17 years, was re
turning down Pearl strict Iroin I!road
way from a party, with her parents and
' some other friends; tho young Indy had
.got in advance of her companions about

around or over her head, and im
mrtliately fled, while some persons

1 eed hauling it with rapidity towards
; Elm kreet. The young Indy was drag
ged altlng some pacesc lint lortunately

■ not parsed, was dragged ofii and her
■ friends nml several others alarmed In
- her shrieks rushed to tlie spot—the rnf
• linns of coarte fled. The young lady
- swooned away from exhaustion, nml
r excitation. The rope was found attach

up her haudslo protect her neck from the

was the work of nn instant, and laid Hu

Tiro person wlio first found the hojiiiel

Richmond Acadian;.—At a meeting of tnal

Maj. Geo. W. Crawford was elected a Tnls.
too, in the place of Judge Rein, resigned. And
the following named gentlemen were elected
officers for the ensuing yoar : Edward F. C*«c
tiELi., ]'resilient ; James Mcl.aws, Secretary,
Treasurer, and Steward; J uri s P., W’audel,
Rector; and Itev. Skrkso Taylor, Principal
of the English Department.— Wo understand,
with much pleasure, that the Academy is in a
highly flourishing condition, probably more so
than for many yours, if ever; and the very jndi
cions ennse of studies suggested to the Board of
Trustees by the Hector, and adopted by the
Hoard, us will bo seen by an extract from the
minutes, in an advertisement, may be coufid, Dl

assiduity, and heneficiul effect, as m any other
Academy whatever.
Wo understand that on Monday last, John j
Doss, the President of the Cheiohcos, went in- i
to the Executive Office it Milledgeville, and ,
served on the Governor som* process from the
Supremo Court, in contravention of the juris- t
diction of Georgia over the Indians, hut not sign- 1

the Governor would return the compliment, fij s
serving some process, quite as abruptly, on lien, I
under the authority of (he laws of Georgia to sop- j
pross the Indian Government—which make it p
a penal offence, punishable by four years con- |
Cnenicnt in the Penitentiary, to exorcise any j
authority whatever, tinder the sanction of that
government. Wo presume the Courier will i
attribute this intention to enforce tlio laws of t
Georgia, to “llte Turkey Cock disposition in tlie J

i
Cnmpuion opened. —The wader is already ill- 1
formed that a powerful opposition existed a- ,
gainst Mr.Gtt.MKR, in the last Legislature, and ,
was exerted, on the part of the Crawford por
tion of the Troup parly, with much virulence. I
In the latter part of the session, a candidate was
openly announced to ran against him in (ho en- I
suing gubernatorial election, whose prospects 1
of sue el-68 were spekon of with much confi '■
ileneo by his friends. The opposing candidate .
is Thomas Haynes, Esq. of Hancock, a mem- '
ber of the Legislature front that county, for many
years past, and wo believe generally known
throughout the Slate. Major Crawford, it is
said, declines a candidacy, and with his fiiends,
will support Mr. Haynes. And it is shrewdly
suspected by many, that (his phut of opposition
was laud I')' erne ofonr most distinguished pomt
cians, who is not particularly partial to
m"er—why, it is difficult lu say, (wcept ftom pos
itive and long cherished dislike; for Mr. Gilmer
and his friends unquestionably destroyed limit
own once powerful cause, by their misguided of
forts to sustain hrs. The plan, however, is a
dioitly laid. As it is, the Clark party, should
they nut, as is anticipated hy the friends of Mr.
Haynes, offer a candidate of their own, will of
course have to decide between Mr. Gtitncrand
1 Mr. Hi lynes, and whichever they select, will of
course be the Governor, in the last election.
J’belr opposition to the name of Crawford, bad
I effect in deciding their funner choice, and
it therefore became necessary to select some
one not obnoxious to them in that respect. This,
wc presume, caused Maj. Crawford to decline,
and Mr. Haynes to (after; and considerable ex
ertion was made, at the close of the session, to
conciliate the feelings of the Clatk members
toward the latter. How far it succeeded, we
cannot say'; but wo should presume the Clark
party bad already sufficiently tested the good
faith and gratitude of their opponents, to see the
propriety of at least avoiding tiny plojjgc what
ever, to cither of the candidates, at this early
period. And whether or nut their dislike to
one opponent should cause them to throw them
selves at once, confidingly, into the opened arms
of another, is a question which wc should -sup
pose any one of them might very promptly an
swer by Ibis time.
Mc do not envy the State pride or eilizcn
like feeling of those who chuckle nt the idea of
the citation from the Supreme Court to the Slate
of Georgia, in the ease of the State against
George Tassels, turning out to be a hoar.; and
we have the pleasure of telling them, very posi
tively, that their promised gratification will be
disappointed. Wo have certain assurance that
the citation is genuine, Governor Gilmer, who
... i >
is supposed by some to have acted too hastily in
this matter, had unquestionable testimony, apart
tVom the document itself, when ho laid it boforo
tbc Legislature, that it was or hat it purported to
be; and a little time willfully proveto the roost
incredulous, that he acted correctly. They wlio
I talk so confidently about a hoar, and With n sort
off self-complacency which indicates a very high
opinion of tbeir own wisdom and acuteness,
might discover, with a very little more acute
ness than they evince, a very natural mode of
accounting for thn apparent irregularity in tl«j
son ice of the citation. Tho period when Ilia
Indians, Ridge. Coody, and others, arrived in
Washington, where they would of course con
sult Mr. Wirt, and then transmit, through one of
their party, to Chief Justice Marshall, in Rich
mond, the necessary documents, left barely suf
ficient time for the citation to bo sent direct by
mail, instead of being served, as usual, through
tlio U. S. Marshall, for live District of Gccffgia; &■
that course was doubtless adopted os the only one
available. It is immaterial by whom such papers
arc served, so that the necessary return of ser
vice can be made; and tlio impression, that
such a return cannot be made in Hie present in
stance, is incorrect. The precaution was taken
td’ effect service through the Post-Muster at
Milledgeville, who was build tho
document to IliotSovcrnor, and did so.
Tho statement of the Courier, —“ wc hava
understood there had been a disposition to par
don this convict: but the citation from the S*.
pronto Court, which many of otir citizens yet
believe to he a hoar, has excited a feeling morn
disposed to hang a dozen than patdon one" i s

“Nut long since I returned from Kentucky.—
While in that Slate, 1 attended the opening of
the Superior court in one of the com ius. The
principal part of the Judge’s charge to the Grand
Jury, was in recommending them lo use their
influence with all the ling-drivers, iVc, not to
take any property whatever in cxch .ngc for
their pork, from the Georgians; that the Ken
tucky property, (lo wit: negroes,) was as good
as that in Georgia; and to be certain to bring no
property back, but all the money they could.—
I give you this account, believing it a singular
charge for a Judge to give n jury. Von can
publish it, if you choose, and make such remarks
as you may think proper.”
