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.” Signed, GEO. W. TOWNS. 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. Special Notices.

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 t itions given in oir report of that morning. Tie 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.
