Teems to me that every rneafurc within th * peffible reach of the Legiflaiure ought to be fjwedily taken to alleviate their distresses. I should not again have intruded this fubjeft on the Legifhture had the meafurcs adopted at the iaft annual Scffion relative to this hu finsfs., produced their deflred effecl. lean, not but feel pcrfuadeJ that oar fiftcr ftite North-Carolina, will readily agree to fab! mit the controversy between the two&ates refpedting boundary to the arbitriment of commissioners appointed by each state, who, if they cannot agree (hall be empnvered to appoint persons not citizens of eitiior Hate, coriclufivcly *o decide the dispute. Agreeably to a concurred and approved resolution of the General Aflcmbly, of the 17 th of December, 1804, 1 transmitted to our Senators and Reprefeuta lives in Congress, a paper which was then in the trcaiury, csl led, Peitces' final fetrlement, for the pur pose of endeavoring to have it paifed to the credit of the date with the United States. Packet Kj. 3, contains a copy of a letter from tftf hon. Abraham Baldwin, which will fully make known the Situation in which that paper is received by the general government. Immediately alter the extra Selfion in June last, I wrote to the Superintendent of Indian Affairs in the Creek Nation, pointing out the propriety of having the boundary line between this ft ate and that nation as agreed upon by the treaty concluded at the City es Washington, on the »4' h of November last, immediately run, and on the 30th of Augult last, that bufmefs was completed, I gave directions to 1 lie Surveyor-Geiieral, to ex. tend the county line of Baldwin and Wilkin, son, as directed by the ad fojdifpofing of and diftribudng the land obtained by the treaty aoovt mentioned,, which has been done. The several difttids are nearly laid off, and forne of the fuxvcyors arc now en gaged in the performing the duties required of them. Every mcafure in its courfc is now in train for carrying into cffe£l with as little delay as pcftible the wiihes and isten tions of the Legilliture in this regard. A statement of warrants drawn on the trea surer dining my administration in the polit ical year 1806, will be found marked No. 4, by'whicu you will percieve that the Ann of twenty dollars hive been drawn for on special appropriation for* the year 1803; 9292 doll*, 50.cen.rf, on fpccial appropria tion of 1804; 1841 doll*, on fpccial appro priation of 1805—2?, <$26 dolls. 27 cents, on fpccial appropriation of 1806, and 5841 dolls. 6i \ cents, on the contingent fund of 1806, making in the aggregate 39,621 dollars 391 cents. Edwin Mounger, Ffq. having on the firft day of this month resigned hie office as trea furerof the state, and the comptroller general being at that time abftnt from the feat of government, I iffacd an executive order, re questing Daniel Sturges, Horatio Marbury and James Meriwether; Efqrs-. to count the money in the treasury, calico the Yazoo Depoftt, to seal up the bills belonging there to in as many different bundles as there arc bills of different amounts, and after having written their names over the seals of each bundle, to make a statement in writing to tntf fhewiiig the number of bills their fcvc ral amounts, and the total amount of money in the treasury belonging to that deposit. Packet No. 5, contains a copy of tljc exe cutive order and the ftatemeat above allu ded to, by which it will be feeu that the amount of that money now in the trcaiury is the fame as when I came into office. I gave the appointment of treasurer to my fecietary, George Roots Clayton L(q. his long course of public duty, which he difeharged while in the executive office un der a ftender salary with talents & great in tegrity, feemed'to me to claim from the gov- a reward due his public merit, a higher appointment than the one he held. Indeed I should be wanting in judice to ray own feelings and to the several officers whole duties have been performed immediately un der my own eye, were Ito retire from the government without expressing ray lulled approbation of their public conduct. JOHN MILLEDGE. State-Hou/e, Loujgville, Sept. 23, 1806. Fellow Citizens of the Senate , and of the House of Representatives. THE legiflatutc on the 19th of June last, nvi'h full confidence in the patriotffn and abilities oApur late governor John MUlcdge, defied Kim a senator to the coogtefs of the United States', and on the 2jd ot September last, li£ declared his acceptance ot that ap pointment and resigned the government of the state, whereby the executive duties un der the 4'h'fcttion of the 2d article of the constitution devolved on me, which is noti fied by proclamation marked No. 1. It will not be expelled when you take into view the snort period which I have )been in the executive chair, that many events of importance have occurred un der my administration, but fuck as 'have, it has become my duty to lay before j on. I have received a letter frpm Col. Return T.

It will I conceive be r.ecefiaiy for the legislature to express their opinion with ref peCl to peifans of those twoiaft deferiptions lieing entitled to draws in the aforefaid lot ter}’ I* w iH also be necessary tor you to fay whether or not the inhabitants of Wal ton county are entitled to thaws in the said lottery, as they have made return of their names to the executive department, and par ticularly as information has been received, that a great part of them are not dtizens of this date, nor never did refidc within her limits; the documents on this fubjeft you will find marked No. 3. 1 am informed by the Surveyor General that the diftrift lines of the lands obtained from the Creek Indians by the treaty con cluded at rhe City of Washington, on the 14th of November, 1805, are nearly fini- Ihed, and it affords me peafurc to have it in my power to date to you that the surveyors appointed by the Lcgiflature in June lad, have all except one, depolited their bonds, and that mod of them arc now engaged in and Tom? of them have nearly completed the duties required of them. A datement of warrants drawn on the treasurer between the 23d of September lad and this day you will find marked No. 4. That harmony may prevail in, and much refoif from your present feflion, and that you - may individually enjoy health while atten ding to your public duties, is the fincerc prayer of your feliow-citizcn.

ExlraQ of a letter from, a gentleman at St. Louis , dated September 28, <l It is with pleafurc that I have it in my power to inform you of the arrival of corn’s Lewis and Clark, on the 23th ind. with the men all in good health—they set out from hence with 32 men and returned with one iefs, who died cf a cholic. In afeend iug, they travelled 4132 miles ; on tkeir return they feperated at times, 600 miles afonder, a:;d capt. Lewis haring struck the neared course, made it on returning, 355; milts. They navigated the Miflouri miles, and to within 28 miles of itsfource— the ditfance is counted from this town, from whence ihe falls of the Miffuuri are uidant, 2575; miles. Jt was somewhat novel and pleasing to hive seen their landing, all in the antique dress; short shirts, pantaloons and mocka fons of bucklkin, and their regimental hats, which once were biack, are grown grey with time and weather. These travellers have undergone extraor dinary fatigue and trouble, living on roots and berries, eating the flefh of 10 horses and 200 dogs. On J'hurfday last the citizens of this place gave the worthy travellers a superb dinner, and dosed the evening with a splendid ball. Capt. Lewis has brought with him an Indian Chief, from onfc of the mod remote tribes, he dined with us, and was invited to the ball; this to him was a strange fight ; he requeued the favor of one of the gentlemen to let him have the fqutrw he was dancing with, faying it ever he came to his country, he would give him one of his squaws in return —he would frequent ly exclaim that on his return home it would take him five months to relate to his coun trymen what he had seen that day I and what time mud it take him to relate all that he will fle, if he makes the grand to«r of the United States ! He is float, ve ry white, behaves himfelf with decorum, and drinks no spirits. They have brought with (hem a great many skins, such as the mountain fhcep, black, grey and red bcar fkins, with a variety of others, among which is the Sea-otter, it is large and the mod beautiful I ever saw.— They bring whale bone, and difeovered by signs that ships had been on (he coafl.
