GEORGIA LEGIgLA I’t HE. Correspondence of the Constitutionalist. Mii.LKiKiHvu.u-;. Nov. 28, 1836, In tlio Senate, Mr. ileeso, from the se lect committee appointed for tho purpose, made a report on u Geological Survey of the State. The report concludes with a resolution authorizing the Governor to em ploy the proper geologist, in order to have the survey effected, and with another reso lution appropriating | the sum of dol lars for the object contemplated. Iho Bank Committee made a report on the condition of the Bank of the State of Georgia; which is, as has been usual in such reports, favorable to that hank; Mr. Reese from tho committee on Pub lic Education mid Free Schools, made a report, accompanied with it bill. The re port is an able one; urges on (ho legislature to adopt some plan by which our system of public education might he perfected | and enlarged; nud recommends tho ex-! tension of manual labour schools. Tho 1 hill accompanying the report, authorizes tho establishment of a free manual labour school in every county of tho state, and appropriates one'half of tho surplus re venue of the United States, to which (he state may bo entitled, to curry into effect tho provisions of the bill. A hill was passed to incorporate Emory College in Newton County. The Senate was mostly engaged, in this morning’s session, in the discussion of the report on Small Pox. The reconsidered hill amending the charter of the Augusta Trust Company, I was taken up. Mr. Liddell offered a sub- j stilutc to it, the principal feature of which is, that tho additional capital to which, by j tho charter, tho company is entitled, shall bo, when paid in, exclusively appropriated j to banking operations. On the final pass-! age of the bill the yeas were 40, nays '27, Mi LLKDGKVILLK, Nov. 20.

A proposition was laid before the House j of Representatives, yesterday, to in-; crease the capital stock of the Fire and Marine Insurance and Banking Cwnpa-j 1 ny of Savannah. j A resolution was adopted by (lie House, i accepting a new edition of the Digest of I the Laws of Georgia, by Mr. O. H. | | Prince, which will comprise ail the laws passed and in force since the former di-! ■ gest, and up to the date of the publication. The same resolution was taken up in the Senate (his morning, for concurrence ;; and the avaricious spirit which sometimes , actuates our Legislature, was perceptible i on this occasion. Will it be believed; that the price fixed by the House, for the ; copies to he supplied for the use of the State Government, was reduced by the ■ Senate/ The House agreed to pay 85i, but the Senate thought this was ton much for so valuable and necessary a digest, ssl was struck out, and $5 inserted. In the Senate, this morning, Mr. Pow ell ot Talbot, from the committee on In ternal Improvement, made a report on ! tho proceedings, recommendations, and 1 resolutions of the Macon Convention. ! This is a sensible and able report, and in it a correct and proper view is taken of the subject. The committee adopts the j plan proposed by the Macon Convention; recommends the construction of the main i trunk of the Rail Hoad from the Tenues* i see line to some point on the Chaltahoo i chec, with (he funds of the Stale, the branches to he constructed by individual i enferurisE. with the aid of the State ; re vommonrls an linniuumie survey Os me i line, &c.; approves the report of the coin | mittec on Finance, on the disposition of ; the surplus revenue. Hills were introduced to incorpornfc a | hank at Fort Gaines, Early county, with a capital 01’9200,000, and a bank at New nun, in Coweta county, with a capital of 9200,000. The hill for the organization of a Court of Errors, was then taken up in commit tee of the whole, by section. The first section was agreed to without amend j monk The blank in the second-section was filled with $3500, as the salary of each of the three Judges. At this stage of the proceedings, a motion prevailed for the committee to rise, report progress, and have leave to sit again. The Senate then adjourned. Mii.ledqevu.lk, Nov. 30, 1f136. In the House yesterday the Finance Committee made a report on the subject of the Savannah, Ogeeehee and Altama lia Canal Company. The committee re commends (he sale by auction of the stale s interest in that company, provided not less than SIO,OOO can ho obtained. The hill to compensate owners of slaves executed for crimes, was rejected, by 89 votes against 44. Mr. Gordon, from (he committee on i internal improvement, reported a bill to establish a railroad from some point on tho Tennessee state line, to such point on the southwestern bank of the Chatta hoochee River, as will render it practica ble to form branches thereto leading to Macon, Athens and other places. 1 lie House this morning was solely engaged in the discussion of Mr. Davis’ resolutions on (he Presidential election, though the question was merely to sus pend the rule or order of the House, in order to take those resolutions. After a long debate, (he House decided (hat (lie rule or order ot the House should not he suspended. in (he Senate, (tiis morning, the bill for the organization of a court of errors was again taken up, by section, as in committee of the whole. The blanks in the 3d section were tilled as follows; The Ist district, to comprise the Eas tern Circuit only, to sit at Savannah, on (he Ist Monday in May and November. The 2d district, to comprise the North ern and Middle Circuit, to sit at Augus ta, on the 3d Monday in May and No vember.

In (he 11th section, the blank for die salary of a re portcr was frilled with SISOO. The bill was reported to the senate by ! the Committee of the whole, it is to he taken up again for the final action day after to-morrow. From the A'aUonal Intelligencer. THE UNITED STATES & MEXICO. The Cannier tics Elats Unis , (a Jour nal published in the French language in the city ol New oi k,) under dale of Saturday last, publishes at large a note Irom M. (JoKosrizA, Mexican Minister to the United States, which, from the date (October 15lh, 1836) and its con | tents, appears to be his final letter to the | Executive of the United States on tak ! in S I''*, departure from Washington, j whence it is dated. The letter is of some j length, and, having been apparently j translated from the Spanish into French, i might have its meaning strained by a ! lui’tlier translation from French into En j glish. \\ e shall not attempt a transla tion of it, therefore, hut coniine ourselves I to the mere statement of the general im- I port of it* concluding sentences, (of part ol which a version has, indeed, been heretofore published, I which is as follows: Referring to former letters of his to the i Department of State, M. Goaosnzv says j ‘hat ho saw at once that the invasion ol I jthe Mexican territory by the troop* ofi ! the I nitod States was an entirely «ratui i tous insult, since there had been no of fence on the part of Mexico, nor any law ful reason on the part of the United States, j to justify it; that he had flattered him.’ j sell that his representations to this Gov -1 eminent would have had (he olfect to in duce ai change of its course ; that, how ever, it had happened otherwise; that he note of Mr. Dickins, (acting Secre tary of State,) of the 13th instant, had leli him without hope—the explanations which he had given him, on iho part of the President, having convinced die Min ister of the little that Mexico had to ex pect of the United States, who would sacrifice its most sacred rights and most positive interests to the shadow of an imaginary danger; who insults Mexico and commits wrong against her, purely byway of precaution. Under circum - 1 stances so painful, (he Ministcrconclude* ' by saying, he should fail in his duty if ’ as the representative of Mexico, he did > i not make use of the only way which rc ! mained to him, to express, at least, how he was wounded by the wrongs done to j his country by (he United States; and j therefore declares, upon Ids own respon i sibility, that he considers his mission as | terminated, and requests his passports to I he sent to him at Philadelphia, to which | place he declares Ids purpose to go on the I follow ing day. The note of Mr. Dickins, in reply to this letter, is also published in the Cour rier, and is to the following effect; that 1 ihe President regrets that an erroneous appreciation of the measures which lie has thought it Ids duty to take, for the defence of the. frontier, has induced M. Gorostiza to terminate his mission : that the President, however, entertains the hope that the Mexican Government will do him more justice than the Minis ter: and that, to prevent all misunder standing, he will take suitable steps, and will send to Mr. Ellis [the Unitec 1 States Minister to Mexico] instructions to give to the Government of Mexico all necessary explanations on the subjects. The letters on both sides'arc courteous in their terms. VVe trust all our readers will concur with us, in the earnest hope that the representations which Mr. Ellis is to be instructed to make will have (he effect to preserve unbroken the friendship |ji ufrmtctl \jj V/vriVi naf’twnftj aolotntily pledged by treaty to be religiously obser ved between them. -■..Mtfr jfr a From the Columbia Telescope. Revival ol Ihc Southern Review. We arc much gratified to be able to say, that a design is on loot for the re establishment of this highly important work ; that the leading gentlemen of this and (he neighbouring Stales are already enlisted in it, to a considerable extent: that a thorough combination of all the literary and political talent of the South will be formed upon it: that its complete success may be loukod to, with confi dence ; and that the arrangements, for these purposes, will, during the next week, be brought before the public of this State and Georgia; after which they will, in like manner, be offered to the States of North Carolina and Virginia. All feel it to he absolutely necessary that, threatened as we are, not only in respect to the principles upon which all public liberty depends, but us to tho most intimate, inevitable and domestic part of the social order amongst us, the South should give itself, in regard to opinion abroad, an expounder, an interpreter, a vindicator. Our peculiar institutions may well be the objects of perpetual and of confident attack, while our inertness leaves all measures of regular and efli cent defence neglected and untried. Opinion is become, in the world of ci vilization, a main power. We have, by our supineness, suffered Fanaticism to enlist it against us. For (his we have al ready paid no slight penalty of disquiet and irritation. If we would not suffer still more severely, wo must make our selves and our institutions understood and respected. This our very safety de mand*. To accomplish this, the talent, the public spirit and the entire intellec tual energy of the South must embody themselves in some well-combined un dertaking of the present kind ; which is, besides, almost as important, in the view of the advancement and improvement of our institutions ; as in their actual de fence and maintenance. The Review will of course, as that of the whole South, he common to both par ties. It will aim to make the distinction ofNullifiers and Unionists be forgotten in a contest, which shall now most zeal ously defend the South, and uphold and perfect her public policy. We understand that a corps of wri ters, abundantly strong and skilful, can he mustered at once. The literary force that will he joined to (he revived Review, will he lolly twice as large, more widely extended, and far hotter combined than that which formerly sustained it. That was, indeed, the work of South Carolina almost alone; and she certainly shewed pretty well in it, what she could do. All that strength, except in the loss of her ac complished Elliott, and the admirable Turnbull, we retain, adding to it, every day, fresh accessions of talent and cul tivation, from a highly active and excited intellectual condition of the race now coming forward. The other Southern States are equally progressive, especially Virginia, for whom her University is ae coinplishingnoble things: sothat the South will, beyond all doubt, display in the ex isting enterprise, strength perfectly equal to the important purposes in view/ VVe shall probably be able to lay the whole project before our readers, next week, in full detail, through the Pros pectus of (he Review itself/ From the Georgia Journal. Tlic American Utprury Company.

The most important object which it is proposed to accomplish, is the publication of School Books for Southern Schools, with the ex press intention of excluding those absurd notions of a sickly philanthropy, in relation to Slavery, with which too many Northern publications arc now tilled. In many of them, if abolition tenets arc not openly n yowod, they are covertly insinuated imd inculcated. Thus poisoning, at its very source, the puri'y efihut intellect on which tho South must ultimately depend for its very preservation, [flic Stock of the com pany is divided into shares of SSO each , the Capital is $250,000, with the privi lege of increasing to $500,000.

Three to one.— Columbia (Tam.J Obsei'- vrr, IVfA rut. • From the Athens Southern Whig. Mr. Jones :—ln my last I submitted the following facts, viz: that there were eleven counties in tho Cherokee country, and territory enough, when the Indians are removed, and the land settled, to make > at least six more—that adjoining these, on i the Ernst and South of tho Chattahoochee, i were fourteen others, comprising in the whole twenty-five in number, and contain | ing a population of 150,090 inhabitants — • that this, from its salubrity of climate, fer . tility of soil, purity and abundance of wa- i ter, and amplcness of waterpower, is one i of thn freshest and finest portions of the : Stale; indeed, it may he well called the 1 East Tennessee of Georgia—that the : people of this region are almost destitute i of a market, or rather the facilities of t transportation to and from market, and in - consequence thereof, have to expend more - than half the profits of their labour in 1 freights. I exhibited this table, founded 1 upon the tact that the average price of s freights was three cents a pound, which I shews the ruinous condition of their agri cultural pursuits, to wit. s Cost of their suit, sugar and s iron, $215,000 e Freight of the same, 375,000 s Leaving a balance over the ac- e dial cost, of 1(50,000 p I then showed (hat the same articles, y transported on Rail roads, would only •- cost in freight, 6-5,000 375,000 Which would he a saving of the enormous sum, to be ap plied to the purchase of no il cessaries, of $310,000 - Now this sum, with the downward t freights, and freights to be saved in like s proportion upon tho other articles of eon y sumption, which 1 have not taken .into : the estimate, and which every one must e know is very considerable, would in two i years actually pay for the construction of e the main trunk of the rail road, rccom - mended by the Macon Convention. When r I say pay for it, 1 mean it would be saved t to the people, contributing greatly to their s wealth and happiness, and every wise go , vornment is bound to supply such legisla s tion to every community as will secure to their labour the greatest possible profit r and advantage, especially when they have i the'means to do so. 1 If a farmer or planter, in any of the t counties 1 have enumerated, should I told, while he is attending his crop through i a burning summer’s sun, subject, as it Ts, i to storms, droughts, rust, rot and various i other disasters, that at the close of a year’s s hard work, he is obliged to give the wag -1 goner more than half what he makes, to s take the rest to market, and bring back - his supplies, he would not believe it, and yet it is demonstrably true. Take for ex - ample the article of cotton, and it is tho i most profitable wo make, bearing a greater i disproportion between its value and freight • than any other article, and suppose its t average price in Augusta, for good and ■ bad to ho 15 cts. per pround, (he waggon ers toll will be the fifth bale, at three cents 1 a pound. Then, when ho lays out the ■ balance in the three articles, upon which , 1 have based my estimates, or indeed any other articles, where these constitute, as they certainly do, I a due proportion of his purchases, it will Ho found that more than half of his sales finds its way into the pock et of the carrier. If you take flour or to bacco, and no country is better suited for both than the Cherokee purchase, the freights would exhaust three- fifths of the latter, and six-eighths ot the former. In passing, it will he well to remark, that the middle and lower counties of Georgia are suffering in a rate of expenditure for freights, precisely proportional to that a hove mentioned, and that a system of rail roads would afford them a similar corres ponding advantage, and this any one will perceive, who will choose to make the cal culation. Having shewn tho ruinous exactions to which (ho products and consumptions of the up-country arc subjected, permit me to suggest a few reflections as to tho im mense saving of time and expense in tra velling, by the recommended improvement. 1 hold, that in all pursuits, hut more es pecially in those ol agriculture and com merce, time is money , and nothing affords a greater drawback upon their prosperity, than an unnecessary waste of it. In the (ravel roquired’for (ho transaction ofthe planter’s or merchant’s business, the rail road enables him to accomplish his object in a period four times shorter than by the . ordinary method, that is, the journey of i lour days is performed in one, because tho difference of transportation is as four [ miles to sixteen, in tho space of one hour. So much for time, a vast saving indeed, i Now, as to expense. By comparing it ; with stage tare, the saving is exactly one hundred per cent.; hut by reason of a much more rapid conveyance, there is considerable difference in the number of lodgings and meals on the road, and con sequently fully us great a saving in that particular. So ns to private travelling, when the frequency of meals and lodging, is taken into the account, by reason of slow journeyings and protracted time, together with horse expense, which has lately become grievous, there is in favor of rail road travelling a most decided ad vantage. All this is saved to the producer and consumer, upon the latter, every ex pense of commerce is certain to fall, for the merchant keeps an account of all his expenses, and makes the consumer reim burse him. This is not all, he is not con tent with putting his per cent. on tho cost of his articles, but he adds to them all the charges, and then puts on his per cent, upon tho whole. So that the people of Ihc counties, whose condition I have been describing, have not only to bear the en ormous expense of travelling and freight, but to bear it increased by a large °por cent, laid on by the merchant. \V bile on this part ofthe subject, I will mention another great saving, and which would he most propitiously and extensive ly felt by the whole community. There is no country which Ins more seriously declined in provisions than Georgia, par ticularly in bread stuff s. The use of horse power to convey the immense productions ofthe country’to, and its equally great consumptions from market, creates a de mand for grain, which in no small degree interferes with the supplies absolutely due to human subsistence; and which, what ever may he the advantage to the seller, ought not to be placed out ofthe reach of an easy access to (he poorer classes of the laboring emmunity. To substitute machinery for horse -jow-1 1 cr in the business of transportation, is to 1 substitute fuel fot'graitt, and consequent ; ly, results in a most favorable change of i the consumption ofthe latter article. It is no objection to say, that horses would have | to be fed at home, for laboring less, they would need less food and of a less useful and expensive nature. There would he ; a less Waste of horse life, in the overpow-; cring labor ofthe mud and mire of Ihc roads, they would last longer and be the bettor invigorated in the Spring for the . more useful toils ofthe crop. As it is my intention to offer some fur . ther remarks on this subject, I will con i elude for the present, by stating that the . Legislature owes it by every obligation . of equal and impartial legislation to pro , vide some system of internal improvement : for the Cherokee counties: Ist. because, f from tho peculiar nature ofthe country, i consisting, by reason ofthe termination of . Ihe mountains, ofa very uneven surface, , it will he extremely difficult and laborious I to the inhabitants to construct any thing f like even tolerable market roads; and i 2nd, there has been appropriated in the | . other parts of tho State, towards internal improvement, in roads, rivers and canal*, by money and labour, upwards of a mil ) lion of dollars. But in my next, I will ) shew other considerations which ought to . induce the Legislature not to desert this ) people. | SATI RBAV, DECEMBER 3, IS3g7 = ' “Be just , and fear not.” GEORGIA FEMALE COLLEGE* Wc recommend attention to the advertisement | of this institution, which we understand is in verv j t high and justly deserved repulation.

S. 1 Arsenal near this city, Major N. Bah ex, ofthe .U. S. Army, aged 44 years—a gallant, able, and j highly valuable officer, and estimable gentleman, t whose loss will be deeply felt and regretted, not 2 only by his country, the Army, and his amiable family, hut by every society in which ho has - moved. Ho has fallen a martyr to his official duty in tho pestilential marshes of tho far South west, where ho contracted the deeply painful and 3 lingering disease which lie has long borne with , so much fortitude and patience, and which has at . last brought him to an early grave. The writer > of this will never forget the philosophic cheerful t ness and fortitude with which he not only bore 1 his own acute sufferings, during a journey to tho North together, in 1834, but, as we lay in uppo ! site berths in a narrow deck cabin, even forgot , them to cheer us up under the distresses of sea , sickness, with playful gayety, anecdote, and nar [ rative. Amid all our mingling with the world, , far and near, we never yet had a more grateful, interesting, and flattering impression of human nature, made upon our heart and mind, by a total stranger, as he then was, than in that instance. May he realize that future happiness, which sure ly none can more deserve, than they who aan forgot their own affliction, to administer to that of a stranger. He was buried on Thursday morning with ap propriate funeral honors, and in testimony of the deep respect for his memory, and regret for his decease, felt in this community, tho Vohmtcsr Corps of the city, and many of our citizens, re paired to the Arsenal and attended his remains to the grave.

I am opposed to all of them, and in favor of the liberty of any body of men associating themselves together for Bank ing, Insurance, or Trust business,—holding the associated property, tho-private properly, and the persons, of those who constitute these companies, liable for all their acts. This is the true republican principle. On this ground all have equal rights ; and let tho pub lic, whose right and duty it is, judge ofthe respon sibility, file ability, and the character, of the vari ous parlies who may set themselves up in these various pursuits, and treat them as they may think advisable—treat them as they may think their own interest dictates. Let there be the same li berty f»r a man, or an association of men, to be come a Banker or Bankers, as exists for them to become Merchants, or to pursue any other calling. Why not 1 Legislators do not pass laws’ dicta ting who shall have the liberty to sell tho various descriptions of merchandize, or who shall be Lawyers, Doctors, Preachers of tho Gospel, Prin ters, Publishers, Editors, KeSpers of Hotels, &c. &c. Yet with as much propriety might they make such Laws, as those creating present mo nopolies, and depriving the people of their just and equal rights. Abolish the present Banking system, and let the forty-six million of dollars which now lie idle in tho vaults of tho Banks, circulate a mong the people; and the credit beyond this, which would be required, would be furnished by the people themselves, and not to the people by a privileged class ! When we see this state of things we shall have a sound currency ; ’panics will not bo known, and political “ log-rolling,” to obtain chartered monopolies, will have an end. I have said that I have nothing in particular a gainst tho “ Georgia Insurance and Trust Com pany nor have I; but still, I should regret to see that Company exercise “ Banking privile ges” under the existing state of things, because I believe the gentlemen who compose that Com pany have all the privileges which the Legisla ture ought to grant them, injustice to the peo ple ; and because I believe that portion of the currency which they would foico upon the people would be less sound than the present currency. This “ Georgia Insurance and Trust Company,” agreeably to their advertisement, signed by their Secretary, have no less than seven Agents, at seven distinct points. Add to these, the mother establishment at Augusta, and the Agent in New 3 ork, not published, and we have nine distinct points where this company take risks of some kind. Now, the charter of this company authori ses them to take Fire risks, Marine risks, &c., &c., and it is not improbable that the “ Georgia Insurance and Trust Company” have risks at this time, at their nine distinct points, on millions of property , a part, and perhaps a greater part, of which, may be swept into eternity in one short night; and this it is, if I understand the reasoning of the Millcdgoville correspondent of the Consti tutionalist, that adds to the security of this com pany, as a Banking establishment ! Messrs. Editors. I make pretensions only to common sense. Let us use common sense, and apply the gentleman's mode of reasoning. An association of gentlemen, who have a CAPITAL of five hundred thousand dollars, and who have issued their CREDITS in the country to three times the amount of their capital, according to Ihc gentleman’s mode of reasoning, will add to tho security of those who may hold those credits, hy taking risks against fre, risks against the pe rils of the Sea, &c., &c., on millions of pro perty !—Now can this he so! I think not. In December last, New York, the emporium of America, was visited hy a destructive fire, and in one short night almost all her Fire Insurance companies were made bankrupt. What think you would have been the condition ol the cur rency of New York!—what think you would have been the condition of the people of N. York’ if their legislators had previously granted these Fire Insurance companies Banking privileges? 1 The currency would have been worthless, and the enterprising, the enlightened inhabitants of that great emporium would have been poor in deed, and had occasion in all future time to curse ihe thoughtless improvidence of their legislators. Legislators of Georgia, now assembled ! learn a lesson of wisdom by what has transpired in New 5 ork, within one short year, and be prudent and wise in vour councils. A CITIZEN. The Hon.

A MERCHANT; SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. Columbia, Nov. 38. ■ An unusual attendance of the Members, at so early a period, enabled the Legislature to organ- izc itself without delay, at 12 o’clock, M.
