In pursuance of the previsions of a resolu
tion approved the 2£th December Inst, the im
provements on the Fractional Surveys, of
land in the Cherokee Territory, have been
renteS'fbf'the present year, and the notes re-
'■ccived for rent have been deposited in this
Departineiyt, subject to tlie direction of the
Legislature. The reports of l!ic commission
ers who informed tliis ditty are herewith
■ submitted, and Will r.ftbrd full and detailed In-
formation eft the'subject.
’Various resolutions passed by the Legisla
tures of a number of the States of the Union,
on subjects of general concern, have been
transmitted to this Department, with a request
that they should be laid beibre the General
Assembly of this State—And are, therefore,
respectfully submitted far your consideration.
Many of these documents are so voluminous,
that it has been impracticable to famish cop
ies for the convenience of the respective bran-
ciei of the Legislature; the originals of
such are, therefore, transmitted to the House
of Representatives. No recommendation or
comment on the part of. the Executive' is
deemed necessary in regard io the resolutions
submitted, except those passed by the Leg-
isluture of Alabama on the , subject’ of the
boundary line between that Stale and our
own ; and those from the Stater of Pennsyl
vania, on the subject of the “ entire abolition
of lotteries.”
The importance of an amicable, speedy
and definite adjustment of the boundary line
between Georgia aud Alabama, is too obvious
to require argument ; and the plan .proposed
by the Legislature of Alabama is entitled to
the respectful consideration of the Represen
tatives of the people of Georgia. The reso
lutions, together with the correspondence,
which has passed between the Executives of
the two States, will urge the expediency of
an early attention to this subject—and I
would recommend to the Legislature, a course
which may afford full evidence, that Georgia
is prepared for the most ample investigation
of her claims, and that she seeks nothing but
that justice from others, which alone will be
satisfactory to’ herself.
I concur with the public authorities of the
patriotic State of Pennsylvania, in respectful-
Iy recommending your cordial co-operation
with the' Legislature of that State, iu affecting
the entire abolition of lotteries.
The survey and settlement of the entire
territory of the State having been accomplish-
ed, I would respectfully recommend to the
Legislature, that immediate provision be made
for executing a splendid Map of Georgia. In
order to construct an accurate Map of Che
State, it will be necessary to cause a re-survey
of the county lines of that pUrt of the State,
situate between the Savannah and Oconee
rivers.
The numerous Acts aud Resolutions of the
last Legislature, requiring the action of the
Executive, have received prompt and due atten
tion, by carrying into effect the objects content-
plated by the Legislature, or by placing such
objects in a course of execution, which in due
time, (as far as may be practicable) will en
sure their completion.
A statement of Executive Warrants drawn
on t;»e Treasurer during the political year
1833, and a list of Executive Appointments
made during the recess of the Legislature,
are herewith transmitted.
Fellow citizens, under a deep sense of the
magnitude of our responsibilities, suffer me to
remind you, that as American citizens, a ben
eficent Providence lias placed us upon a lof
ty' eminence. The eyes of all the world arc
directed to the people of these United States.
To us, as a people has been entrusted, upon a
large scale, the experiment whether a people
can govern themselves without kings, nobility
or standuig armies. To us, belongs the dis
tinction of demonstrating, (hat millions upon
millions of free and equal citizens may dwell
together in peace and prosperity : exercising
all the prerogatives of wise self government,
without tumult, anarchy, or domestic wars.
* And to ensure and perpetuate these inestima
ble privileges to our posterity, wo should al
ways boar in mind that our people must be
virtuous aud intelligent. Ignorance and vice
are opposed to liberty. Religion, without re-
ligious establishments, affords the best guar
antee of the perpetuation of our republican
system. The principles inculcated by the
Saviour of man; in bis sermon on the Mount,
will make a people obedient to laws, emana
ting from themselves, aud administered by n
citizen magistrate of their own chousing, with
out tho aid of mercenary legions, and the
pomp and power, which arc the attendants of
despotic and arbitrary governments. That the
Creating Power of the Universe may clothe us
with a spirit of republican simplicity, equality
and liberty—and guide the onward march in
that course of policy, which shall ensure to
posterity, the unfading inheritance of equal
rights and free government—is the fervent
prayer of your fellow citizen.

Mbs. Hannah More.—Tho following
obituary notice of this highly gifted and dis
tinguished lady is copied from the London
Times i—
Died on the 7th Sept., at her residence in
Windsorterrace, Clifton, in the 89th year of
her age,after a pniniul and protracted illness,
Mrs. Hannah More. Few persons have en
joyed a higher degree of public esteem and
veneration than this excellent and distinguish
ed lady. Early in life she attracted g meral
uotice by a.briUmnt display of literary talent,
and was honored with the intimate acquain
tance ot Johnson and Burke, of Reynolds und
Garrick, and of many others highly eminent
individuals w ho equally appreciated her amiable
quali.ics and her superior intellect. But un
der a deep conviction that to live to the glory
of God, und to the good of our fellow crea
tures, is t!ie great object of human existence,
and the only, one which can bring peace at the
last, she quitted in tho prime of her days the
bright circles of fashion and literature,and reti
ring into the neighborhood of Bristol, devoted
hersclfto a life of actual Christian benevolence,
and to the composition of various works-hav
ing for their object the religious improvement
of mankind. Her pen could adapt itself
with equal success to tha instruction of the
highest and of the humblest classes, and the
numerous editions through which her various
publications have passed attest the high sense
entertained bv the public of their varied util
ity and excellence. Her practical conduct,
beautifully exemplified the moral energy of
her Christian principles. She was the delight
of a widely extended sphere of triends, whom
she charmed by her mentui powers, edified
by her example, and knit closely to her in af
lection by the warmth and constancy of her
friendship. She lived and walked in an
Biosphere of love, and it was her delight to c'o
good ; the poor for many miles around her
felt the influence of her unceasing benevo
lence, aud her numerous schools attested her
r^'ul fur the improvement and edification of
the rising general ion. In these works of faith
and charity, she was aided: for a long bourse
of years by the concurring efforts of four sis,
ters, who lived with her, who regarded her
with mingled feelings of admiration and affec-
lion, and towards whom her conduct was ev
er marked by tho kindest and most endearing
consideration. It was truly u sisterhood ani-
mated by all the social and hospitable virtues.
Mrs. Ilunnah More’s last illness was accom
panied by feverish delirium, but the blessed
influence of Christian habit was strikingly ex
emplified even under the do-*.iy of extreme
old age and its attendant consequences. Not
seldom she broke forth into earnest prayer and
devout ejaculation, and invariably met the af
fectionate attentions of the friends who sed
ulously watched over her sick bed by unceas
ing and most expressive returns of grateful
love. The writer of this tribute to her mem
ory saw her only the day before her last sei-
zurc, when she expressed to nini in a most
impressive manner the sentiments of aii hum
ble and penitent belief in Jesus Christ, assu
ring him that she reposed her hopes of salva
tion on his merits alone and expressing at the
same time a firm and joyous reliance on His
unchangeable, promises. Iu her excellent
writings she will long live, not ouly as one of
the brightest ornaments of her sex, but us the
benefactress of her species.
Tim death of Hannah .More will produce
no inconsiderable sensation in certain not al
together youthful circles of a religious char
acter, in whicli at one time she bore a very
potent sway. The tact and abilities of Mi's.
More were undoubtedly of a superior order al
though somewhat overrated in. their day.
Everybody will recollect the noise made by
her sort of novel, Calebs in search of a Wife,
which if not the best of her productions, was
undoubtedly the one whicli gave the best gen
eral notion of the religious tone which slic
wished to impart to society.

- There are two classes of persons who, ac

declarations, have received written p-.-nda

individual of either description may show

Petition to a Legislature for licenes
to sell Siuhituous Lw-ors.—“ May it
please your honors to graut us permission to
kill ?”
“ In what manner do you desire to kill ?
with the sword 1”
“ Your petitioners consider the sword as
antiquated way of extinguishing life. There
is a savageness about it, and a useless effu
sion of blood. Wounds are inconvenient,
and not always mortal. We wish to do our
work with less trouble, and more effectually.
Death by the sword is , n unjust and partial
system- It affects only those who are drawn
up in battle array. It falls entirely upon one
sex. According to the theory of Mnlthus,
there arc more human beings created than the
earth is able to contain; therefore it is ne
cessary that a part be cut off, for the safety
und subsistence of the whole. Now, as there
are full as many women in the world ns men,
some process of diminution ought to be de
vised, in wh.ch hey shall bear due proportion.
We petition lor leave to kill wonieh and chil
dren, as well os men. Wo pray that power
may be given us to enter the domestic sane
luary, and to slay by the fireside, as well as in
the battle field.” . >
“ Do yon prefer tho use of gunpowder to
tho sword 1”
“ May it please your honors, none rever.
ence more than ourselves, the invention of
gunpowder. As an expeditious and comma
dious way of freeing earth ofher supemu
racrarics, it is truly admirable ; nevertheless
we are not perfectly satisfied to adopt it. It
is too local in its operations. When the field
is once covered with the dead, the thunder of
the cannon ceases. Battles are not of fre-
quent occurrence. We prefer to employ on
agent that needs no rest, and that night and
day, may follow the work of destruction.”

tion of which is not intended to be brought
immediately into market, and which may
hereafter become the means of exchange for

iqost of the main branches of the Keamissy and

Sir-The general and increasing dispesi
tion manifested by a number of uninformed or
evil disposed persons to violate the laws of
the United States, prohibiting the intrusion and
settlement on the public lands, has imposed
upon the President the painful duty of remo
ving them by a military force. This duty is
confided to you. ^Immediately after the ex-
piiation of the term fixed in the enclosed Proc
tarnation, you will, upon the application of
the Marshal of any State or Territory, cause,
to be removed by military force, all. persons
who shall be found upou the public lands
within your command, and destroy, their hah.

This removal and destruction of houses and
improvements must be repeated, as often as
it shall be necessary, to secure the complete
execution of the laws upon this subject.
