THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga.).—MARCH IG. 1839.
Adjournment of Congress.— The twen
ty-fifth Congress closed its third and final ses
sion on Monday morning, 4th inst. at five
o’clock. Tho House was in session most of
the time, day and night, from Saturday morn
ing till its final adjournment at ten o’clock on
Monday morning. The Senate was also in
session all of Saturday night, and after two
recesses during Sunday, remained in session
until five o’clock on Monday morning, when it
adjourned sine die. The proceedings up to
the time of adjournment will be found in ano
ther column. Much unanimity in regard to
the Border Question prevailed among the
members, and the opinion was that there w-ould
be no war with England.
Referring to the close of the session, the
National Intelligencer remarks:
More even than usual, the important busi
ness of Congress was driven out into the last
■days, and indeed last hours, of the Session. A
great deal has been left undone, of which a
part at least ought to have been done.
The several annual appropriation bills have
all become laws, though some of them not un
til the latest hour last evening.
Remarkable few in number are the bills of
public importance, besides the annual bills, that [
have been passed at this session.
Among the acts passed is one for authorising ;
the erection of a fire-proof building for the i
General Post Office, on the site of the burnt l
Post Office, out of such materials and under j
such superintendence as the President of the !
United States shall direct; for which purpose it i
appropriates $150,000.
The bill which passed the Senate for the!
military occupation of Florida (by settlers on I
public lands, &c.) sleeps on the table of the j
House of Representatives. Connected with
this subject, it is proper to state that one of j
the appropriation bills contains an item of five I
thousand dollars to defray the expense of a ]
treaty with the Seminole Indians, inserted in
the House of Representatives with the avowed
intention to indicate the opinion of Congress
that the Florida war might be ended by negoci
ation on eligible terms. This appropriation
was at first resisted, but afterwards agreed to,
by the {Senate.
The annual General Appropriation bill con
tains, besides its ordinary items, the following
enactments for the further security of the reve
nue derived from imposts:
Sec. 2. .hul be it further enacted, That, from
and after the passing of this act, all money paid
to any Collector of the Customs, or to any per-,
son acting as such, for unassorted duties, or for
duties paid under protest against the rate or
amount of duties charged, shall be placed to i
the credit of the Treasurer of the United States,
kept and disposed of, os all other money paid
for duties is required by law, or by regulation
of the Treasury Department, to be placed to
the credit of the said Treasurer, kept and dis
posed of, and shall not be held by the said
Collector, or persons acting as such, to await
any ascertainment of duties, or the result of
any litigation in relation to the rate or amount
of duty legally chargeable and collectable in
any case where money is so paid. But, when
ever it shall be shown to the satisfaction of the
Secretary of the Treasury that, in any case of
unascertained duty or duties paid under protest,
more money has been paid to the Collector or
person acting as such then the law requires
should have been paid, it shall be his duty to
draw his warrant upon the Treasurer, in favor
of tho persons entitled to the over payment, di
recting said Treasurer to refund the same out
of any money in the Treasury not otherwise
appropriated.
Maj. General Scott left Washington on the
Ist inst. for the Northeastern frontier, under
instructions from the Executive Department of
the Government, taking with him copies of the
temporary arrangement concluded between
the Secretary of State and the British minis
ter in Washington.
General Scott and Suite reached Boston
on the 2d inst., and left on the 4th for the
East The Boston Transcript says, the Gene
ral expected to receive despatches from Wash
ington, but in consequence of the non-arrival
of the mail, concluded to proceed without
them.
In relation to the above visit of Gen. Scott
to Maine, a correspondent of the Boston At
las, probably a Maine Senator, in a letter
dated Senate Chamber, Augusta, March 2d,
Bays:
“I speak advisedly, when I say that if the
contemplated visit of General Scott to Maine
is only to porstiade a withdrawal of our troops
from the disputed territory, or a relinquishment
of our present position, he might as well stay
aicay. I repeat that I speak advisedly when I
say this. It may appeer as strong language,
but I say from my heart, that I had rather see
our State deluged in blood, and every field
bleached with the hones of our citizens, than
that we should retrace our footsteps and sub
mit to British arrogance. Yes, the “glorious
stars and stripes” must wave on the line, and
we must speak, if necessary, with the cannon’s
the British minions,thus far shaft
thou come and no farther/'
History of Georgia. —The Milledgevillc
Recorder says:—The Rev. Charles W. How
ard, the agent appointed by the State, to col- j
lect documents connected with our early his- j
tory, from the public offices in England, has j
returned, after accomplishing in a great mea
sure to his satisfaction, the object of his agen-,
cy. We have not had an opportunity yet of
looking at the (some) 20 volumes of documen- 1
tary history which he has collected, but have
no doubt, that it will be found by the historio
grapher of Georgia, a rich mine for the illus
ion of the most interesting portion of our
history.
It is stated that there are at present in the
Britwh North American Provinces upwards
of 15,000 regular troops, besides numerous
companies of local militia, brought into activ
ity and comparative discipline by the late
troubles iu the Canadas.
I REPORT of the investigating
COMMITTEE.
The Investigating Committee of the House
of Representatives on Defalcations, to whose
; labors the country has been looking with deep
anxiety for some time past, have made their
Report. It is a long document, but so admir
ably reduced to system in its composition and
arrangement of facts, as will render it most
convenient for use, as well as easy of compre
hension.
We have not room for the report entire, but
give an extract from the prefatory remarks and
some of the conclusions of the Committee.
PREFATORY REMARKS OF THE COM
MITTEE’S REPORT.
The Select Committee, chosen by the House
of Representatives on the 17th and l!>th ulti
mo, to investigate the defalcations of Samuel
Swartwout, late collector of the customs at
the port of New York, and of other officers,
have devoted to the faithful discharge of the
duties assigned them the limited time allowed
for the purpose by the shortness of the pres
ent session of Congress. j
It wms most obvious, however, that the whole
field of inquiry presented by the resolution
appointing the Committee, could not be prop
erly traversed to report thereon either satis
factorily to the country or to the Committee, ■
during the short remainder of the present
Congress. This impressed upon the Commit
tee at once a resolution, which has been rigid
ly adhered to, of limiting the investigation to
such branches of the subjects referred to them
as had most deeply excited public anxiety and
alarm, and to undertake only so much of these
as might be thoroughly exhausted within the 1
allotted period of the Committee’s researches.
But the important results which have been at
tained, notwithstanding the disadvantages ad
verted to, cannot fail to inspire tho country
with a confident hope, that the high obligation
which will rest upon the successors of the
present Congress in the Legislature of the na
tion, to resume and complete the great work
of investigation and reform of the alarming j
condition and abuses of the Executive depart- j
ments of the Government, from the highest;
to the lowest, and from the nearest to the re- \
motest functionaries, will engage the prompt
and efficient attention which its magnitude
demands.
EXTENT OF MR. SWARTWOUT’s DEFALCA
TIONS.
Conclusions of the Committee.
Ist. That Mr. Swartwout is a defaulter to
Government as appears by his own returns, os
adjusted from time to time at the Treasury!
Department, in the sum of one million two
hundred and twenty-five thousand seven hun
dred and five dollars and sixty-nine cents.
2d. That this amount of indebtedness has
accumulated upon the face of the quarterly
accounts regularly returned by him for adjust
ment at the Treasury Department, without the
omission of any of either items, debit or cred
it thereon, until it became an absolute defal
cation.
DURATION OF MR. SWARTWOUT’S DEFALCA
TIONS.
Conclusions of the Committee.
Ist. That all monies received by Mr. Swart
wout as collector prior to 1837, were regularly
accounted for by him in his quarterly returns
to the Treasury Department.
2d. That so much of all monies received
by Mr. Swartwout prior to 1837, and account
ed for to the Treasury Department in his
quarterly returns, as were not paid by him
into the Treasury, wer? retained by him un
der the tacit acquiescence of the accounting
officers of the Treasury, and regularly carried
forward, debited to himself, in the balance of
each subsequent quarterly account rendered
by him to the Treasury Department to the
close of the term of his office.
3d. That his omission to carry a debit to
himself of the moneys received by him from
the Treasury, or from other sources, prior to
1837, to the close of accounts kept only at the
| custom-house, called his cash accounts, and his
carrying a debit to himself of any such items
!to any other class of accounts kept only at
the custom house, called suspense and unsettled
accounts, or by any other name, would not op
| crate as a concealment, innocent or fraudulent,
; from the Treasury Department, of the true
cash balance in his hands, First, because
1 neither bis cash account, nor his suspense and
: unsettled account, nor any other subordinate
account, kept at the custom-house, was ever
exhibited to, or formed the basis of any quar
terly settlement made by him with the account
ing officers of the Treasury.— • Secondly, be
cause, in his quarterly accounts settled at the
! Treasury Department, the aggregate and true
balance of all his subordinate accounts kept at
\ the custom-house, including both his cash ac
! count and suspense account, was uniformly,
, prior to 1837, carried into his quarterly account
[under the item of “cash, and unsettled ac
\ counts."
I 4th. That the defalcations of Mr. Swart
! wout, by means of fraud and false returns,
commenced in 1837, and not sooner, and have
existence since that period ; and the defalca
tions thus accruing, added to the moneys pre
viously retained by him, according to his re
turns to the Treasury Department, and by the
j silent acquiescence of the officers of that De
partment until the close of his term of office,
constitute tho aggregate of his defalcations at
; the present period.
CAUSES OF MR. SWARTWOIVs DEFALCATIONS.
Cause I. The irresponsibility of Mr.Swart
wout in pecuniary character at the time of his
appointment to office.
Conclusions of the Committee. Ist. That at
the time of Mr. Swartwout’s appointment, and
of his reappointment to office, he was wholly
irresponsible in pecuniary reputation, and was
involved in debt.
2d. That at the time of his appointment
and of his reappointment, and for the whole pe
riod he was in office, he was notoriously en
gaged in large and hazardous speculations, and
deeply embarrassed by them.
3d. That his pecuniary responsibility and
consequent involvements by hazardous specula
tions, constitute one of the primary causes of
his defalcations to the government.
Cause Ht Culpable disregard of law, and
neglect of official duty, by the late naval officer
at New York.
Conclusions of the Committee. Ist That
the late naval officer at the port of New York,
throughout the term of his service, from 182 ft
to 1838, wholly disregarded the requirements of
law prescribing the duties of his office.
2d. That said naval officer, for the same
period, wholly disregarded the instructions ol
the Comptroller of the Treasury of November
10, 1821.
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
3d. That said naval officer, by disregarding
the requirements of law and the instructions of
the Treasury Department, culpably neglected
to keep the accounts and records appertaining to
his office, and thereby rendered the office nu
gatory as a check on the accounts of the col
lector.
4th. That if the duties of said naval officer,
as authorized by existing laws had been exe
cuted with proper care and vigilance, they i
would have rendered it impracticable for any
fraud or error in any of the accounts of the col
lector of said port to escape immediate detec
-1 tion.
sth. That the culpable disregard of the :
plain requirements of law and of Treasury in
structions prescribing the duties of naval offic
ers, by said naval officer, and his continued neg
lect of official duty, is a primary cause of the
defalcations of tlie late collector of New York. |
Cause 111. Culpable disregard of law and
neglect of official duty by the First Auditor of
the Treasury.
Conclusions of the Committee.
Ist. That the First Auditor of the Treasury
has been guilty of culpable disregard of law,,
and neglect of duty, in examining and certi
fying the correctness of the accounts of the!
late Collector at New York without having
compared them thoroughly with the vouchers
accompanying the same ; and also in transmit
ting said accounts to the First Comptroller,
certified, for revision, while the most important
vouchers therefor were retained in his own
office.
Cause IV. Culpable disregard of law and
neglect of duty by the late and present Comp-
Comptrollers of the Treasury.
Conclusions of the Committee.
Ist. That the late Comptroller of the Trea-!
sury, George Wolf, Esq., now collector of the j
port of Philadelphia, was guilty, while in said j
office of Comptroller, of culpable disregard of
law and neglect of duty, both in regard to the
bonds of collectors filed in his office, and the
records thereof required by law, and in settling
and certifying to the Register the accounts of
Samuel Swartwout, late collector, without
having transmitted to him the vouchers there
for required by positive injunctions of law.
2d. That the present Comptroller of the
Treasury has been guilty of culpable disregard
of law and neglect of duty in settling and
certifying to the Register the quarterly ac
counts of Samuel Swartwout, late collector,
without having transmitted to him the vouch
ers therefor required by positive injunction of
law.
# # # #
Cause VI. The negligence and failure of
the Secretary of the Treasury to discharge his
duty, as the head of the Treasury Department,
charged by law with the superintendence of the
collection of the revenue.
Conclusions of the Committee. Ist. That,
of late years, important books of records, de
signed to contain a condensed statement of the
accounts and liabilities of collectors of customs,
weekly, monthly, and quarterly, have been per
mitted to fall into disuse in the Department of
the Secretary of the Treasury, and thereby
render nugatory many of the essential checks
upon the defalcations of that class of officers
arising from existing laws and Treasury regu
lations.
2d. The negligence and failure of the Secre
tary of the Treasury to discharge his duty, as
| the head of the Treasury Department, charged
by law with the superintendence of the col
lection of the revenue, and his want of a cor
rect appreciation of the before-named records
in the superintendence of the collection of the
public revenues, and the consequent neglect
to continue and complete them, are justly re
garded as a primary cause of the escape from
detection, for so long a period, of the immense
defalcations of the late collector at the port of
New York.
* # # # #
THE DEFALCATIONS OF WILLIAM
M. PRICE. •
Conclusions of the Committee.
j Ist. That William M. Price, as district at
-1 torney, is a defaulter to the Government in a
large sum.
2d. That his defalcations are attributable to
the notorious irresponsibility and want of cha
racter of said Price at the period of his ap
pointment and re-appointment, and during his
entire terms of office, and to the continued ne
glect of a proper and efficient discharge of
duties at the office of Solicitor of the Treasury
! by the late and present incumbents of that of
fice.

Correction. —We were mistaken as
to the author of the article copied into our pa
per of last week from the New York Times,
i in relation to the Brunswick and Florida Rail
Road. From a hasty glance at its introduc
tion, we supposed the whole article was writ
ten by T. G. Cary, Esq. of Boston, when in
| fact he wrote the two first paragraphs only, in
! relation to the meeting of the Stockholders at
Thomasville, which are enclosed in quotation
j The remainder of the letter as pub
! lished was written by the Hon. Thomas But
ler Kino, of this County, in October last, to
a gentleman in New York, in reply to a letter
asking for information ns to the prospects and
advantages of this work. We do not consider
it important as to the authorship of the article,
but simply make the correction as an act of
justice to those individuals.
A Lazy Man. —We meet with nothing in
our travels that we so much despise as a lazy
man, unless it be a drunken one: we rarely
| see one, however, without the other ; and the
! two in one, make up the very essence of an
object of disgust!
It is impossible to separate idleness and
vice—they are like the substance and the
shadow. We sometimes think a wholesome
j remedy might be found for lazy people, and
j are surprised that our law makers do not carve
' out one.
We were coming down town the other day
1 and overtook a fellow with broad shoulders
and bandy legs, wearing a ten year old patch
ed coat, ragged pantaloons, a pair of bull’s hide
shoes and no stockings; his elbows were out,
and there was a split in his back; his trowsers
were not over two-thirds long enough, which
exposed ankles and parts of legs which were
• of divers colors—one hand in his trowsers
pocket, if indeed they had any pocket; and
with the other he was blowing and wiping his
nose. His hat we forgot to say was as limber I
as if it were drunk, and was held up on one j
side with a loop made of a tow string. The
man was not over thirty. Would it not be
humane to take up such a fellow as this aqd
make him work ? His health would be im
proved by it—bis comforts ministered to; his
body improved and his soul made better; and
what would prove another blessing, he would
be removed from the observation of those who
cannot feel otherwise than disgusted at the
sight of such an example of hennan degrada
tion.
During the last year the ordnance of the
United States has been increased by the addi
tion of 143 cannons for field artillery, 71 can- j
nons for garrison service, 1520 percussion can-1
non locks, 52,700 small arms, 347 gnn car
riages, and for the use of the militia, 80 can
non for field artillery, and IG,BOO small arms.
Commodore Porter has been re-appointed
resident Minister of the United States to Con
stantinople, with a salary of $(>000 per annum.

OUR RESOURCES AND IMPROVE
MENTS.—No. G.
Mr. Editor,
The Indian tribes, although the original in
habitants of the soil, we trust to their own, as
well as the white man’s good, are now remov
ed, partly as a matter of choice, and partly by
force, to the wilds of the far west, ainid scenes
peculiar to their natures, where they are
free, and have left free and unemeum
bered to us a rich and productive region.
The range of their habitations extended on a
line from North to South, through the interior
of the State of Georgia, cut oflT or presenting
insurmountable barriers to the lines of inter
nal improvement, crossing the territory in an
opposite uud proper direction for our inter
est and prosperity. But the way is now clear,
and we can push forward with safety and
success the works of industry, science and art,
which every where prove a blessing to civil
ised nations, bat are a curse and consuming
fire to the savage race.
Among the other causes which may be
mentioned as favorable to internal improve
ment in this state, is the recentness of discov
eries, inventions, and improvements in rail
roads, steamboats, and steam-engine machine
ry in general, all of which means are more ne
cessary perhaps to the developement of the
resources of the South, and more particularly
the State of Georgia, Gian to any part of the
U. States. Without railroads and steam power,
it must be evident to every one, much of our
wealth now coming forth must have contin
ued dormant, and Georgia must long have
j remained in the back ground, or stood
still while her sister States were ranging
ahead in prosperity and wealth. With these
means our hitherto barren regions become
beautiful fields, the most distant vallies and
the country at large a region of riches.
In the next place the State of Georgia, as
well as the whole South, (and this is no new
idea,) has labored under many disadvantages
from the local weight and partial legislation of
the general government. Like the mist of
old which ascended up to water the face of the
earth, by untoward events its benefits have
fallen upon other parts, while onr own section
i has been laboring under excessive dearth.
[ These evils have been somewhat increased by
j a mistaken policy of our own statesmen, and
\ were still augmented by an ill guarded appre
hension on the part of the people, arising from
their peculiar institutions. Heavy tarifis and
internal improvements by the general govern
ment at first advocated by southern men, might
if properly adjusted, been beneficial, but
as it was, proved unfavorable to the South.
Many adverse circumstances therefore com
i bined, have caused a stupor and indiffer
; ence on the part of the people in regard to
'their dearest interests. Causes sufficient in
fact, when state rights power and influence
were but beginning to be developed, to make
it next to impossible for Georgia to have the
benefit of internal improvement, or to realize
j the wealth and greatness that now awaits her.
But the spell is broken and the difficulties
are removed. Genius has made her intermin
able web and put forth her choicest coin;
causing as it were all points to meet in one, —
turning every element, and every substance
into the use and behoof of man. The most
distant bills, rallies, and mountain sides—our
. immense forrests hitherto unavailable or com
j ptratively worthless, now present by the agen
cy of steam and other discoveries new hopes,
new sources of employment, independence,
nxuj> wealth, .Each point and section, however
i secluded or remote, may soon be approached,
I and all parts, if the people are but true to
j themselves, will soon be brought to assist and
enrich each other. No State in the Union
now possesses natural advantages and pros
pects superior to Georgia. And no section
1 is more favorably situated to take the full frui
tion and benefit of this state of things than
that portion laying between the St. Marys
River and the Alatamaha.
Before closing these remarks, it may not be
improper to observe, that there never has been
a more favorable time; a conjuncture has never i
been more propitious than the present to de
mand that aid and improvements to which we !
are entitled, and which it is the province and 1
duty of the General Government to bestow, i
I refer to the erection of light houses, bea- j
cons, buovs, —the surveying of harbors and |
rivers, and lastly the establishment of a navy- [
yard upon the coast of Georgia. These would
much aid the developement of our resources,
foster and encourage enterprise, and I trust
those whose duty it is to attend to these
points will not long be backward in putting
forth oar claims and all other claims in ac
cordance with justice and right, while
there is hopes of obtaining it. Thus may we in
this our happy land, by perseverance and en
terprise, by the co-operation of individual,
state and national means; by science, industry,
and arts, and the blessing of Heaven, press
onward to that goal of improvement, happi
ness and wealth, which resembles in glory the
world that awaits us beyond the skies.
