; GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
1 .Senate, Thursday, Dec. 3.—On motion of
j Mr. Wood of Mclntosh, the Journal of yesterday
I* was reconsidered, so far as relates to the rejection
of the bill to drive the Cherokee Indians from the
I small remnant of their lauds allotted for their
>. use, in March next,
t, Mr. Rutherford reported a Bill to incorpor
ate the Literary Bank of the Slate of Georgia, at
’ CuUodcnsville, Monroe county ; which was read
s the fust time.
1 On motion of Mr. Dawson, so much of the
’ Governor’s Message as relates to the Fanner’s
Bank of Chattahoochee, together with the report
of the Committee appointed at the last session,
f to examine into the condition of that Bank, was
j referred to a select Committee, consisting of
| Messrs. Dawson, McAllister, and Hepburn.
• The bill was taken up, to authorize the State
1 to subscribe for stock to the amount of $750,000,
in the Central Rail Road Company, and the
’ , Branch Companies to Forsyth and West Point,
J j and a like sura in the Georgia Rail Road Com
, pany,and its branches, in sums of SIOO,OOO each,
, ; as soon as similar sums have been expended in
: j the construction of each road ; the question be
i ing on the reception of the substitute previously
offered by Mr. Baber, “to create a public and
transferable stock for the encouragement of the
construction of Rail Roads in this State.” The J
substitute (as afterwards amended,) provides, that
when any incorporated Rail Road Company in
the State, shall have expended SIOO,OOO on the
construction of a Rail'Road, over and above the
expenditures for surveys and implements of labor,
the Governor, on a shewing thereof, by commis
sioners to be appointed, issue and deliver to sUeh
Company, a certificate or certificates of State
Stock, in sums of not less than $5,000 each, to
thrcc-follrlhs the amount of the sum so expend
ed, tearing an interest of five per cent per annum,
payable semi-annually, and not redeemable in
less than twenty-five years ; and, in like manner,
certificates to the amount of SIOO,OOO, for every
$200,000 so expended, and shewn by the com
missioners—tile Company to give a bond, in a
penal sum of double the amount of such stock,
for the payment of the interest, and principal as
each becomes due, and a mortgage of the entire
Kail Road, and all its implements anil appurte
nances, which are to be forfeited to the State, if
the Company fail to pay said interest or principal
as aforesaid.
It was decided to receive the substitute, in lieu
of the original hill; and, the question being then
on its passage, after a long debate, on the part of
IMcssrs. Gordon, Nesdit, Kino of Glynn,
Walker, Hepburn, Liddell, and Dawson,
in favbrof it, and Messrs. Wood of Mclntosh.
Saffohd, Alford, Crowell, Powell, and
Floxd, against it, it was rejected —yeas 29,
hays 50.
House, Dee. 3.—Mr. Jeffries reported a bill
to add a part of Wilkes county to Talliaferro ;
which was read the first time.
The bill to authorize tlic raising of $30,000, by
Lottery, to build Masonic and City Halls in Co
lumbus, was rejected —yeas 9, hiij's 119.
On motion of Mr. Black of Scrivcn, the re
ports of die majorily and minority, of the select
Committee on lire depredations of the Creek In
dians in the S. Western section, were taken up;
and Mr. Dismukes, (one of the majority of said
committee,) offered a substitute for both reports,
much to the same effect as the report of the mi
nority ; which was read, and Mr. Burner moved
to recommit both reports, with the substitute, and
the documents, to the same committee.
Mr. Davis of Elbert, then occupied the floor
for more than two hours, in an exceedingly able
and luminous speech in opposition to the motion
to recommit; in which he reviewed the whole
subject, read the documents, clearly sustained the
report of the majority thrdugliUUt, and severely
attacked and exposed that of the minority, and
also the vascillaling and imbecile conduct of Gov.
Lumpkin. Repeated attempts were made to j
silence him. by erics of “question,” a motion to ;
adjourn, &c,; hut he coolly and dctertninatcly
stood his ground, declaring that lie would not lie
put down, and that if the motion io adjourn sue- j
cccdcd, he would proceed in the mßrning, when
he would be entitled to the floor. The reading!
of the documents by the Clerk, was reffsed him ]
by the Chair; the reading of the report of the
' majority, by Mr. Black, was endeavored to be
drowned and silenced, by coughing, scraping,
&c.; and Mr. Kenan again made a noble hut
ineffectual appeal to his parly. Tire people will
be enabled to judge pretty fairly and correctly
ro m this, and the previous and subsequent pro- •
i ccedings on the subject, of the true nature and
1 object of llto opposition to (lie report of the ma
’ jorily, and the enquiry into the official conduct of
• Gov. Lumpkin. Those who have mahilcstcd
) that opposition, have been challenged to the en
-1 quiry again and again, and dared to a disproval of
1 the charges,by a free examination of the (acts;
2 and told that those charges could and should be
1 proved, by those facts, to their very utmost ex
e tent—and that though they might muzzle enquiry
1 there, and choke it dawn hy brute force, they |
could not and should not do it elsewhere. In- j
deed every thing has been said that could have .
aroused their pride, and prompted them to the |
1 issue of an investigation.
e After Mr. Davis concluded, the question to
'» recommit was decided in the affirmdtivo—yeas
e 76, nays 61.
- Mr. Buhnes then moved to print the docu
f ] xnents, only, and Mr. Fiounsor, to amend that
V motion, so as to print the reports and substitute,
i- also ; which was" negatived—yeas 61, nays 77
h and Mr. Burner's motion was adopted, and 300
0 copies were ordered.
fj Senate, Dec. 4.—The Senate, on motion, re
considered so much of the Journal »f yesterday,

ment of the construction of Rail Roads.
The bill from the House, to amend the net in
corporating the Central Rail Road Company, and
give Banking privileges to that Company, was
taken up, and after a long and animated discus
-1 sion, which occupied the remainder of the sitting,
- was laid on the table for the present,
r House, Dec. 4.—The bill to reduce the num
ber of Justices of the Inferior Court in each
’ county, from five to one, and compensate that

* . substitute for the sixth section, providing that
I the salary of the Judge should be S2OO, and ten
2 per cent on the county Tax, when not over
* $3,000, and five per cent when over that sum,
1 , which was received—yeas 76, nays CC. After |
, which, and some discussion, mi the part of Messrs, I
* Hill of Jasper, and Merhiwethkh, in favor of j
I the bill, and Messrs. Strickland, Douurkrtt,
* Davis of Elbert, and Tarver, against it, it was
) rejected— yeas 62, nays 81.
, | The Report of the Select Committee on so
! | much of the Governor’s Message as relates to the
,! new Georgia Justice of Messrs. Gsekne and
■j Lumpkin was taken up; and tlic Resolution ae

tend, to the Superior and Inferior Courts, tlic
provisions of the act of ’27, for the more speedy
collection of open accounts —and to make origi
nal papers on record always stationary, and all
copies thereof to lie read in evidence.
The hill to provide for the election of Clerks
of tlic Courts of Ordinary by the people, was re
ferred to a Committee of the whole in June next
[From some circumstance or other, unknown
to us, we have not received the proceedings of
the Legislature of Saturday last, having received
no letter from Mdlcdgeville since the one dated
Friday evening—and wc are at present wholly at ,
a loss to account for our not receiving them.] I

t says—•• Considerable feeling w s evinced throng -
out yesterday, in reference t » the state of our ic
t la ions with Franco Private letters, Hnd from the
most respectable noulc 's, received hy tliu pran
ces Ist, concur in stating that the letter of Mi,
Livi.vasTON, approved by the President, will not
B bo considered n satisfactory explanation** ol the
( Message hy the French Government. They do
1 not, however, seem to expect that this would
r lewd to a rupture.**
The Jter. Advertiser vnys: “ There was some
’ advance in the price of Flour yesterday. It is
I supposed the quontity in market is not more limn
sufficient for eighty or ninety days consumption,
t estimating the daily consumption of the city at
t 1000 1200 barrels. The quantity detained from
e market hy the closing of the canal, is believed to
|. exceed CO 000 barrels.”
The same paper says: “ Copt. Delano, of the
j Roscoe, informs I hat the Despatches he brought
were put on h >ard hy Mr Oodev, our consul at
’ Liverpool, who told him they were from France.
r These Despatches, wc understand, were foiward
j cd from (his city on Saturday afternoon, hy ex
press, and probably reached Washington on Sun
. day.”
The Journal of Commerce, 2d edit ion of M an-
