‘I-, o iiuVUiSAJB’S MESSAGE. ■
i'nis excellent State paper is before t lie
public. The ability, clearness, utul ex
ailed feelings of patriotism, With which
it is written" cannot fail to procure for it
every where an agreeable reception. Ii
embraces many interesting and impor
tant subjects, Upon which the Legisla
ture will hive to act, with all the pru
dences and wisdom tiiey possess, if t!ie\
wish their proceedings to produce bene
ficial results.
The first topic of the Message is
Cherokee land, and the intruders on such
portion of it which contains gold mines.
The Governor recommends the passage
of a law for the removal of all intruders
by force, if necessary by giving authori
ty to the Executive to callout the militia,
lie recommends also the taking posses
sion of the gold mines, in such a manner
as not to interfere with the right of oc
cupancy of the Indians. From the mes
sage wc learn that the gold region of
most value, lies between the Chestatee
& the Etowah rivers. The survey of the
whole Cherokee territory, is recommen
ded, in order to ascertain where the gold
mines lie, the population of the Indians,
the nature of their improvements, &c.
■which would enable the legislature to
enact proper laws for the government
of the Cherokee Indians. The Govern
or gives his reasons, and supports them
with unanswerable arguments for the
opinion he entertains of the right of ju
risdiction and soil possessed by (ho Stale
over the territory occupied by the Cher
okee Indians. Ho advises the passing
of laws for the protection of the Indians,
their rights and their property, the repeal
of the law which prevents Indians from
being competent witnesses in certain
cases; and the adoption of some mea
sure to prevent the Cherokee Council or
.Legislature to meet and to act as an inde
pendent government. He informs the
Legislature of a notice having been
transmitted to him, and a copy having
been served upon the President of the
United States, of the intention to apply
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, for the purpose of obtaining an
order for restraining tho State of Geor
gia in the exercise of its laws over the
Cherokee Indians and tlie territory occu
pied by them, lie is of opinion that we
should wait patiently, before acting defi
nitely, to see what the general govern
ment can do. If it he. found that the
. government of the United States cannot
do any thing, then we must take the mat
ter in hand ourselves. He lays before
the legislature a list, which he has re
ceived from the war department, of the
property left by Cherokee emigrants ami
paid for by the United States. The Gov
ernor recommends the taking possession
ofthe property immediately, ns belong
ing to the state. He gives the informa
tion of the unfavorable decision of the
President, respecting the tract of coun
try south ofthe line run by Col. Wales.
A tract, containing only 461,<>16 litres,
is all from which the Clierokecs have
been removed—This tract is at the dis
posal of the Legislature. It is reported
that there arc valuable mines in that tract,
which, in the opinion of the Governor,
makes it mi insuperable objection to
dispose of it by lottery.
The second topic is'the census of 1831,
in taking which tho Governor recom
mends r to include tho Clierokecs in the
enumeration of the people of the Slate, (
The compilation of the laws for the
Jast icn years, done by W. C. Dawson, i
Esq. will be ready for delivery in June
next. The persons appointed to inspect |
the work say, in their report, that from .
I*<K) to 1809. inclusive, there wore only
486 laws and but few resolutions passed
by the Legislature, and from 18JI) to 18]!l ,
inclusive, 708 laws and 201 resolutions ,
while during the last ten years, there were
11:7 laws nod 60-3 resolutions passed !! (
The Governor recommends the estab- ,
lishinent of a court for the correction of i
errors, and supports this reconnnenda- ;
tion with ability and triumphant argn- ,
. snouts, hut which we fear will not be at- ,
tended to by the Legislature. ,
The boundary of the fßtnte with Flori- j
da, uudslavery in the Kouth mid the in
troduction of slaves into the .State, are e.
also topics of the Message. I
With respect ofthe public roads and
the public hands, we shall as soon us
we can procure the reports ofthe two
superintendents, lay before our readers a
moio enlarged statement limn the one
given by the Governor, of the progress
Jpiado in the repair of the roads. In the ,
mean time wc state, from tin; message, J
that (k) miles of good road have been ex
ecuted, leading to Augusta; 41 to B>a- '
vaimali: 13 to Milledgeviile;3t to Colinn
has: and ,30 without graduation, in the .
neighborhood of flint River.
The Turin; the Penitentiary, nnd the ’
--University, arc subjects of’this message. f
The Governor lays before the Legis
lature a very highly interesting eoVres- .
ponclence with intelligent citizens in this (
fSlntc, respecting the quantity of cotton (
and other produce, carried by wagons (
over the different roads lending to An j
gnsta. Savannah, Macon, Columbus nnd (
and Millcdgeville. The information com- (
municuted in that correspondence can j
wot fail to be of great importance to the .
legislature, in the measures they may ‘
find it expedient to adopt for the improve- .
mcnf ofthe public roads. After we shall ‘
have taken a view of this correspon- ,
deneo, we shall hasten to lay before our {
readers, the facts It'discloses, and ail the .
use which can be made of those facts, j
We mast observe, however, that Gov- (
ernor Gilmer deserves well ofthe .State
of Georgia, for this attempt at obtaining
correct statistics of Georgia. With even
what the Governor places before tho le
gislature, it can be determiinxl at once, r
in what part of the country the public c
hands should he employed to repair the f
roads, because the legislature will know t
what quantity ol produce passes through c
the principal roads of tho .State. The r
public interest would he essentially pro- t
nioted were Governor Gilmer to con- ii
tinue his exertions and to extend his
views to other branches of the statistics tl
ofthe state. If the Legislature knew the h
quantity ofhorses, sheep, and rattle, the L
number of houses, carriages, and the I
quantify of land in cultivation, in corn, e
cotton, or other produce, there are in the ii
state; ami tho relative quantity of the t
crops, legislation would be much fueilita-.
ted; nothing would be done in the dark' t
oo many laws would not'pnss, which the 1
next year require amendment or abroga i
tion. It is sincerely so be hejed, that j
fovernor Gilmer will persevere In his
midertakingundthat,the well wishersot
ibeir state will support him in any plan
e may adopt for the accomplishment ol r
the object in view. t

Extract of a letter from Gen. Cofiee, c
one ofthe Commissioners to treat with s
the Chocktaw Indians, to Ins friend in this i
.ity. dated Chocktnw Agency,29th Sept, t
1830. _ *
' I have the satisfaction to inform you ;
that on yesterday wc closed a treaty i
with the Chocktuws for all their country i
on the East side of the Mississippi river. 1
Between live and six thousand ofthe In- t
dians attended the treaty, and I think I
they are generally satisfied. hen we |
first met t hem, great discontent prevailed, i
The first thing to be dune was to recon- i
cile them among themselves, which we |
succeeded in pretty generally. We then
went into the subject ofthe treaty, A; with I
much difficulty their situation was made I
plain to their view by the Secretary <>( (
War, who was of himself a host on that i
occasion.. When well understood by i
them them was not much difficulty at- i
forwards in framing a treaty. Tho terms I
allowed them are liberal, and in accor- i
dance with the President's instructions, ■
who desired to make their situation coin- :
fort able; yet 1 think it a good treaty for
the United States. I shall not enter into
detail now, being on our journey home
ward. Major Eaton will write as soon i
as lie reaches Franklin, and give the ■
outlines ofthe treaty.”

We have rend with much satisfaction u

Like n .skillful Dramatist, Mr. Smith has j:

rzzts IN mANEUN COZdtSOB*
At half past 2 o’clock, on Saturday
morning' last, the new College was discov
ered to be on lire. I nstantly the cry was
raised and the bells rung, bat before the
students were apprised of their danger,
or scarcely any one had arrived at the
scene of conflagration, a large part of the
roof was enveloped inflames. There was
now no hope of saving the building, and
efforts were made to remove the proper
ty, but as a large portion of the persons
assembled were unacquainted with the
interior of it, and consequently reluctant
to venture into the upper rooms, these
efforts were only partially successful. In
the fourth story particularly, the loss of
private property was very great. What
could be saved was soon removed, and
then all eyes were turned to witness the
progress of the devouring element. It
was a fearful sight. The crackling and
Hilling of timbers, the sheets of Hume as
they burst from one window after anoth
er, effusing their lurid glare around, and
roaring fierce and frightfully, broke in
upon the stillness of night with a sound
that sent a thrill of horror through every
bosom. It was nearly three hours before
the building was consumed; and when
the flames hail died away, and the roar
had ceased, it was at the darkest hour of
night which precedes the light of mor-.
ning, and which by its striking contrast
with the previous unnatural brightness,
made cacti one doubly feel the loneliness
of darkness. This is flic first fire of con
sequence ever known in this town, and.,
unused ns our citizens must necessarily
be to accidents of this kind, they display
ed admirable presence of mind on tlie oc
casion. The old College and the Phi Kap
pa Hall were in great danger, and only
saved by extraordinary exertions. On
the (briner we particularly noticed Messrs
Tullnmdge. Baron, (Sauldeii, Cowdrey,
Edwards, Tinsley and Odum; and on
the latter, Messrs. Flournoy, Franklin,
Bryan and Adams. There were others
on both these buildings, but we have not
learned their names. (Several persons
also contributed -to the preservation of
the Phi Kappa Hull, by cutting trees and
placing them against if. This is n some
what novel proceeding in eases of lire,
but it is to this circumstance that we
mainly attribute the preservation of the
(lull The new .College was erected
»iglit years since, and cost originally
$25.060 —the expense of rebuilding is va
riously estimated at from 7 to 1 ■ 1.000 dol
lars. The College library, together with
the apparatus belonging to the depart
ment of Astronomy and Mathematics,
we regret to say was entirely consumed,
valued at about $6,(10(1. There are va
rious opinions as to the origin of the fire;
but alter all the speculations on the sub
ject, it still remains a mystery. It was
iirst discovered in the garret, and may
have been caused by a defect in one of
the eliimnies. At any rale, there is no
reason to doubt that the cause was alto
gether accidental,

the routes in which they were interested.
“The Mobile and New-Orleans Com

routes from this place to Fort Mitchell,
at a saving to the Department of $20,060 and
considerable saving of time —reserving to all
of the old contractors on the routes, who
are deemed deserving, the interests they
now hold. To .Mr. Barry, I should say
much pruiseds due, for the fair and just
course he has endeavored to pursue to

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
We have already mentioned that the
new corrupt coalition between the Clay
and anti-masonic parties has received its
final overthrow in Pennsylvania. This
result is no more than what every honest
man expected. A more unholy faction
Ilian anti-masonry never reared its head
in a free country. The honesty, the intel
ligence, and public virtue of Pennsylva
' nin were not to be deceived. In relation
to national politics the recent election is
a’ great triumph. The next legislature
of Pennsylvania has to elect a I uited
i Stales' Senal'.r in the place of Mr. .Marks,
who has misrepresented that democratic
i state by opposing the administration of
And’w. Jackson. \Vchave now no doubt
, hut a firm, an unwavering democrat will i
. be elected to the L T . S. Senate, who will
honestly support the measures of the
present administration. The follow ing

Life of Byron is to constitute the first

The follow ing article is from the Na
tional Intelligencer. \Vo scorn to aim
a shad at a fallen man, as is the Duke
d’Angouleme at this moment. But the
anecdote is one which ought to he placed
on record, ns a worthy example of de
cision and firmness in an American pub
lic Officer, when menaced by r an enraged
foreign populace, instigated by the min
ions of a despotic Government:
AMERICAN SPIRIT.
It appears by' recent arrivals at New
York, that diaries X. with his family
and suite, were to embark at Cherbourg
in the American ships Great Britain and
diaries Carroll, for (Scotland, to occupy’
I heir old habitation. Thus they are for
ced to take refuge under the American
Mug, which the Duke of Angoulemo took
so nmeh pleasure in venting his Royal
spleen against some years ago, in Bor
deaux. We woll recollect the outrages'
our fellow-rhicens received in that city,
both on the accession of the Bourbons.:
and on their return with the baggage of
foreign mereinurios, after the hundred
days’ reign of Napoleon. We witnessed
all of thorn, and eim never forget the
courageous conduct of.Mr. Lee, who was
'then our Consul at that port.
At a meeting of Hie (handier-of Com
merce of Bordeaux, u large sum was vo-;
ted to give Hie Duke and Dutchess of
Angotileme a ball. The spacious roofed
Court of the Exchange w as (loured over,
and decorated magnificently* for Ihe oc
casion. In each corner of this immense
ball, were placed emblematical transpa
rent painting.-:, representing the four
quarters of (he globe, and over them
were tastefully arranged (he colors of all
nations, among which, the American flag
was not the leas' conspicuous. 'The
Duke of Angouleme, on the nux-iiing of
the ball being invited by* the Committee
of Arrangements to take u view of the
decoration, which the crowds oflhe ('ve
iling might hide in part from his view,
was nearly thrown into convulsions at
the sight of the flag of Liberty suspended
over America: and to gratify his wishes,
the time serving creatures who accompa
nied him, ordered the striped hunting to
be taken down, and the British Hug put
in its (dace. 'This pitiful act soon took
wind, it reached the ears of our vigilant
Consul, who .with several Americans,
among whom we made one, visited the
ball room to ascertain the fact. We found
it too true; and we well remember the
indignation it caused, and the spirited
conduct of onr Consul on the occasion.
By order of the Governor, nil the inhabi
tants, on the tiring of the salute, were to |
hoist the white Hug. The foreign Con- B
suls stuck it up by the side of their own. 0
The Elegantees displayed their sheet*)
the house-keepers their table cloths, the =
poisards a port of their dirty shills, and .
the dandies their white neck cloths. From 11
every house, except from our Gonial's, li
this emblem of National degradation was a
seen flouting in the air. Oil his balcony „
the American Hag only waved proudly t
over the Eagle. 1 can never forget the
sensations this brave conduct gave birth
to. There was not one among us ut c
Bordeaux, that would not, at that instant, r ,
have sacrificed his lilt* in his behalf.— t
Groups funned in front oi'his house, vo
ciferating, with murderous gestures, “Five '
lev Bourbons! a bus ccs qneux les Americanes! ®
a has leur privilege! a has CAiglc!''* The I
scene was appuiing. We trembled for f
the result. In the midst of this tumult,
the Prefect visited the Consul, beseech- a
ing him to hoist the white flag. “You j
ought,” said he, “to conform yonrselfto J
the circumstances of the times. Besides, *
the Dutchess of Angouleme is here—the f
fete is in honor of her.” “If an angel t
were to descend to the earth, and ask me c
j to hoist your flag, Mr. Prefect, until nn r
atloneinent was made, I would not do it.
Go to your palace, and make an honoru- .
bio reparation for the insult offered my’
| country, by displaying the American 1
[ flag, and 1 will meet your wishes.” “If a
, this be your determination,” said the t
Prefect, “I cannot, Consul, beanswerriWe ,
■ for the consequences.” “I leur not the
~ consequences,” replied the < 'onsul, “your
, infuriated populace may raze my house ‘
I to the ground, and bury myself and fami
ly in its mins, if they please, for the white 1
flag 1 will never hoist under existing cir- c
emustances.” And he never did hoist it j.
to the day ofhis recall, which Louis the ;
ls>th solicited of onr Government, thro"
Mr. Hyde de Neuville. ’l’lie scenes 1
which followed, after the visit of the Pre
lect, such as breaking the windows of
our Consul, pelting the eagle attached to
' his balcony, insulting and terrifying his
family on the public walks, wo will re- '
; frain from dwelling upon. We hove 1
said enough to shew the antipathy of (he '■
frantic Legitimates to every thing Ameri- s
can: and if to these insulting scene* we c
add their disgraceful conduct in relation :
to our just claims on France, it will he
found that they are by no means entitled 1
to the sympathy of this people. "

what they so frequently assert. But they will [,
tell you they do prove it. And what is their ~
proof? Why, that articles on which duties are
paid, have fallen in price since those duties were
laid on them. Well, what docs this show, but t j
that they have fallen in spite of the Tarilf, as all
goods and property have done, gradually, for
many years past, whether affected by the Taiiff 0
or not; and those which pay duties would fall
still lower, most of them in equal proportion, e
if the duties were taken off. Take a practical (]
evidence of this—A merchant in this city told us b
sometime ago, that Coffee had then fallen at j,
least three cents per pound, in anticipation of t ]
the reduction of duly to that amount, on tire
article. Now, show us why this should not bo q,
the case, in a greater or lesser degree, with j.
regard to all articles similarly situated. At any
rate, show us how the principle of high duties a
can lower the price of goods, and we will at a;
once acknowledge that ourselves and the Oppo
nents of the Tariff generally, know nothing at
all of the subject.
The Democrat.—This new paper, edited by
C. E, Bartlett, Esq. and published in Colum
-Ims, was commenced on the 16th instant. Mr.
Bartlett is well known to the people of Georgia,
as one of the most able writers that the editorial
corps in this State has ever possessed; and this
recommencement of his old % ocation in the **
fertilo and rapidly populating region around Co-
haulms, will, we trust, ensure him a large and
continually increasing patronage—such as his "
abilities, and striking capacities for usefulness
to the interesting section in which he is located, j J(
as well as to the state generally, do richly merit.
\\ c heartily wish him success, as must all who
know liim, and can properly appreciate valua
ble talent, joined to liberal feelings, inflexible
independence, and ardent patriotism.

An csfor Georgia.— The N. York Journal of cl

the present members ofCongtcss, are re-elected. t }i
It is not .Viown whether Mr. Lumpkin or Mr. lb
Gamble will be the 7th member.” Wc were ,l1
under the impression that “Mr. Lumpkin” was I
first or second man, that “Mr. Haynes” was j in
not re-elected, and that Gen. Nswnan, a new L
candidate, not mentioned by the J. ofC. was
third man. ( Q

Hurricane in the s The lait J
Baica papers and letters, furnish us with
of the particulars of the injury occasioned by the
gale experienced :n Jamaica, in the month of
August last, which is represented in the f u l| ow
ing brief summary The scene was appal'
ling—several vessels were sunk at the \vharv t ,
at Kingston, and the damage done is estimated
at upwards of twenty thousand pounds sterling
besides the loss of many lives.—One bri» Wn „|
down outside the harbor, carrying with her t| l 0
captain, crew, and passengers, 18 in number—
Trees, that had been standing for centuries, Wcrc
uprooted and blown about like feathers by ft,
wind.—Houses prostrated.—Sugar plantations
destroyed, and the fruit and coffee trees com!!
plctely stripped. One letter in the Jamaica pj.
per, says, “ The hurricane has left Flaraslcad*
haap of ruins. It has exceeded in violence th 0
storm of 1815, and had it continued one hour
longer, I suspect there would not have been a
habitation left in the Mountains. It is impossible
for words to convey more than a faint idea of
the awful spectacle. It kept the brain in one
constant whirl of excitement. Blast after blast
came bellowing with resistless fury, rending to
pieces every thing that opposed its progress—
Large timber trees torn from the roots and
laid prostrate—roofs of houses whirled into tho
air and scattered like chaff before the wind—
the crashing of timbers—the crumbling of
walls—with the frightful roaring of the ele
ments, formed altogether one of the most tor.
rific scenes it is possible for the mind to conceive.
The preservation of property became no object;
life itself was in imminent peril, and each suc
ceeding blast was looked upon as a signal of
instant destruction. When the storm subsided,
it almost seemed to cease for the want of fresh
objects oh which to wreak its vengeance.”
On the 13th insl. a heavy storm of rain, inter
mingled with large hail stones, accompanied
with unusually vivid Hashes of lightning and loud
thunder, was experienced in the city of New.
York. The Evening Post says, “ the storm it
said to have been the most violent one that has
occurred in the month of October for many
years, - ” and adds, “It is remarkable among old
observers of the signs of the weather, that when
a violent thunder storm occurs after the autum
nal equinox, a mild winter invariably succeed*.
Occurring before the vernal equinox, it is con
sidered an indication of a cold and unproductive
summer.”
FOR THE CHRONICLE & ADVERTISER.
OLD JOE THINKS,
When he sees a Justice of the Peace running
from one Grog Shop to another, and staggering
about drunk, that he does not well fit the office.
lie thinks, that when a ■Constable gets a poor
prisoner’s money under false pretences, and
keeps it, lie ought to be kicked out of office.
He thinks, that there arc more men practising
law, than ever studied it well, and that if two
thirds of them would quit H, and tarn to the
plough, there would bo enough left for every
needful purpose.
He thinks it a great grievance, that men should
be appointed to high stations, whose learning is
too limited for them to discharge their official
functions.
lie thinks, that if this City could exchange i
set of lazy, drinking, gambling young men, to
the amount of 100, for a act of yidustrimis, so
bormindod clerks, U would Le better for the
merchants, and also the young ladies.
lie thinks, that if many married men woull
quit visiting Bar-Kuoms, and swigging brandy,
their wives would have more of their company,
and their families better fare.
lie thinks, that most people lay heavier taxes
on themselves, than arc laid by the Tariff.
lie thinks, that young ladies could be better
employed than in spinning street yarn every
day, ogling this young man, nodding ftl another,
and giving sweet smiles to a third ;—sotnoliipcs
having three hole's in oik blocking, and two ia
the other. m
lie thinks, that the waist of a lady ought to
be as the hand of her Creator made it; and not
laced so as to create deformity.
He thinks, that young ladies ought not to blush
at a dovlle entendre. They should never put
m immodest construction upon any thing; but
if there bo any thing to blush at, avoid it.
lie thinks, that as the beauty and comfort of
rife ‘consists in xuricty, you may pay but little at
tention to the old maxim, of doing as you would
)o done by;—it would make tho world stupidly
mifurm and monotonous.
lie thinks, that, excuses being a cheap and
movement circulating medium, certain persons
ail not to keep a constant supply on hand, and
sass them off as occasion requires.
He thinks, that when gentlemen have dined,
hey can pick their teeth with a fork, —it is a
'real saving of goose-quills.
Finally, At thinks, Mr. Editor, that if he was
me of your useful and respectable profcssion,
ic would never refuse publishing hints like
