inanities, (except the subscription on the part
of Tennessee,) and be subject to the same re
strictions as far as they arc applicable, as arc
granted, made and prescribed for the benefit,
government and direction of the Iliwassee
Hail lload Company.”
By tbc 3rd section of the act referred to, it
is provided, “ that the foregoing rights and
privileges are conferred upon the State of
Georgia, on condition that whenever applica
tion is made she will grant and concede simi
lar ones, and to as great an extent to the State
of Tennessee or her incorporated authorities.”
It is obvious that the extent of tbc grant to
Georgia, under the act referred to, is to be as
certained alone by reference to an act of the
General Assembly of the State of Tennessee,
entitled “An act to incorporate the Iliwassee
Kail lload Company,” which act it is proper
to remark, from the copy herewith transmitted,
docs not appear to have the usual evidence ot
having passed the Legislature of that State, al
though attested by the Speakers of the Senate
and House. In addition, it will be remember
ed, that the validity of our grant is dependent
upon granting like privileges to the State of
Tennessee or Companies incorporated under
the authority of that State, whenever applica
tion is made to this State for that purpose.
This application is now male, under the au
thority of the resolution to which I have call
ed your attention, I apprehend the Legisla
ture will most cheerfully carry out, by suitable
legislation, these principles of reciprocity in re
gard to the public works of Tennessee, in the
process of completion, or such other works as
may from time to time be found desirable to
afford suitable facilities to the citizens of the
two States whose interests are so closely con
nected. It becomes, however, desirable to de
termine, as it is now believed to be the settled
policy of Tennessee, as well as of our own
State, to connect Nashville with the Atlantic
by means of a continuous railway, what ad
ditional legislation on the part of either is ne
cessary to secure that object ?
In tbc accomplishment of an enterprise of
so much magnitude, every nr nor considera
tion, involving no principle or surrender of so
vereignty dangerous to the State, should be
yielded by each to the other on terms of per
fect reciprocity and even liberality. Nothing
less than this is becoming the character of
Georgia to offer or to accept. Under existing
law it will be seen that that portion of the
Western and Atlantic Hail Hoad, from the
State line to Chattanooga, is exempt from tax
ation for twenty years after completion; a sim
ilar provision will be expected in favor of the
Hail Hoads of Tennessee running over any
portion of our territory. If exemption from
taxation for a period of twenty years was de
sirable to Georgia as a protection to that por
tion of our lload in the State of Tennessee,
while in the process of construction, is it not
quite as desirable that, after completion, in or
der effectually to guard the interests of this
State, that Tennessee should grant an exemp
tion from taxation to continue as long as the
Hoad may be used as a railway? Unless this
liberal policy is adopted in reference to the
public works of the two States, within the ter
ritory of the other, there may arise from the
t ixing power upon the property and Hoads of
cither State within the limits of the other,
se.ious misunderstanding, destructive of the
harmony necessary for the success of their re
spective works. Let not the improbability of
the abuse of power, at a distant period, deter
us from guarding against it now, and especial
ly as the Treasury of this State may always
expect to enrich itself as much by yielding up
the right to tax Hail Road property belonging
Tennessee or its citizens, us it will by the
■e 'ercise of this right, provided we secure a like
immunity for our Rail Hoad and other proper
ty attached within the limits of the State
of Te incssae. I would, therefore, very re
spectfully suggest that the Legislature offer to
the State of Tennessee total exemption from
all taxes on Hail Roads chartered by that State
and terminating in Georgia, or passing over
any portion of our territory and connecting
with the Western and Atlantic Rail Hoad,
■upon the condition that our Hail Hoads and
property attached in that State be in like man
ner exempted.
I avail myself of this occasion to recom
mend to the General Assembly, in granting to
the Nashville and Chattanooga Hail Hoad the
right of way through the county of Dade, to
prescribe as a condition, that four years be al
lowed this State to complete that portion of
the Western and Atlantic Hail Hoad from the
State line to Chattanooga, instead of the time
now prescribed, and also that tire General As
■sjmbly of Tennessee will grant, b}' express
enactment, and in direct terms, all the rights,
privileges and securities to the Western and
Atlantic Hail Hoad granted by this State to
the Nashville and Chattanooga Hail lload.
Believing it may be acceptable, I transmit a
copy of the act of the General Assembly of
Tennessee, entitled “ An act to incorporate the
Iliwassee Hail Hoad Company,” and also, the
act passed 11th December, 1845, “to incorpo
rate the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail
lload.”

Steam Ship Southerner-
The Charleston Courier of the 13th instant
says:—This ship left here at 8 o’clock yester
•day, for New York. We understand she will
not leave that port again until the first Satur
day in February.
The President’s Message was transmitted by
the “Atlantic and Ohio Telegraph” to Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Louisville and Vincennes,
simultaneously. It occupied a little over
eleven hours in its journey over the wires,
winch time should hurry a rapid penman to
copy it in manuscript.
Mr. Walker, the Secretary of the Treasury ,
had scarcely sent in his admirable report of
this day to Congress, and returned from the
Capitol to the Treasury Department, a little
after 2 o’clock, before he exhibited, in the of
fice of Mr. Auditor Collins, the signs of the
greatest exhaustion. He was uqion the point
of swooning, and in the act of falling, when
Dr. Collins caught him in his arms, and con
ducted him to a chair. Many of Mr. W.’s
‘riends rushed in to his rehef, and other
physicians were sent f er, and the necessary
measures were used to restore him. He lost
consciousness for a second only, and, in the
course of half an hour he was sufficiently res
tored to be conveyed home in a c.< riage. The
news, with exaggerated statements of it, soon
spread over the city, creating more than ne
cessary alarm. We are happy to learn, upon
inquiry this evening, that he is much bettor,
and out of all danger. We have it in our
power to state that, by the aid of proper ap
plications, he is doing well, and will doubtless
soon recover from the exhaustion consequent
on his over-exertion.
It is not astonishing that the Secretary should
thus have been attacked. His family and sev
eral of his friends have predicted such a result.
The noble report which Mr. Walker sent in to
da} r —the greatest production of his luminous
and vigorous pen —one of the ablest reports
whiclx has ever emanated from that arduous
and important department—a splendid monu
ment, in a word, of his labors in the cause of
free trade and of the management of our finan
ces—has required the most iabo i ms researches
and constant occupation, for more than six
weeks to bring to its maturity. He has not
dined with his family more than four or five
times in a month, nor retired to his pillow be
fore 3or 4 o’clock in the morning. His assis
tants—and he had vigilant and faithful ones,
almost constantly with h : m —were astonished
at his capacity for enduring labor. lie first
poured out the vast reflections of his mind in
the car of a short-hand w .iter, who committed
them to paper. The next process was to con
dense liis composition, to arrange it in the
proper order, and to introduce in their proper
places the reference and the valuable tables of
statistics which lie drew from the Treasury
archives. His health began to fail him, but
not his energies. He still worked with that
indomitable spirit of which few men are capa
ble. The nigh before last he was up nearly till
daybreak. The last nightt he sat up until 4
o’clock, and at 8 o’clock this morning he rose
to give the last finishing stroke to his labors.
Ho was very near becoming a martyr to his
public duties; and within an hour after he had
sent it in to Congress, his strength became so
exhausted, that, as we have said, he was about
to swoon away. Lot us repeat in the cars of our
young countrymen, that if they wish to distin
guish themselves —it they would serve their
country, or build up their own reputation, they
must adopt enthousiasm as their word. With
out it, Robert J. Walker would never have ac
complished the masterly report which we have
this day the pleasure of laying before our rea
ders. — Washington Union 9th iust.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 10.— Cotton — The Cotton
marketplace our publication of the 4th iust.has been
very quiet. While the demand has been limited,
holders at the same time, owing to the great de
ficiency in the receipts, and the limited supply on
sale, have uot pressed their stocks. The market
throughout Friday last labored under a good deal
: of depression, ami when we closed our inquiries on
that day, prices had suffered a reduction of an £c. ;
the iaujkci, however. r. he J Su’urday. r..d bc-
tw en 3a id 4'o hales changed hands at the qno

transactions of Monday and Tuasday may be put
d nvn at of J bales, and the prices paid at the open
ing of ihe week were fully sustained; and they
w ire also the prev thing rates on about 3*l) hales
that were sold on Wednesday. On Thursday, near
j 400 bales were taken by purchasers, and at the
: close of business the market was rather buoyant
than otherwise. Yesterday, a telegraphic despatch
was received at our office announcing the arrival of
the steamer Britannia, and the trade at an early
hour seemed to come to a tacit understanding to
await the arrival of her advices, as the sales during
the day were limited to It 9bales. The operations
ot the week have been confined ts same lot-4 bales,
running almost solely on the midding fair and f iir
and fully fair grades. The sales of the week are as
follows; 22 bales at 7; 2(1 at 7J; 261 at 71; 332 at
7|; 1251 at 7,*; and 20 bales at 7|. The receipts
since our iust reach 3060 bales. The deficiency
in the receipts at this port as compared with the
previous year at the same time is 8/,131 bales. We
have no transact! ms to report in any description of
