INSURANCE U BANKING COMPANY. The annual election for Directors of the Au gusta Insurance and Banking Company, took place on Monday last, when the following gentle men wore chosen:—Messrs.

The following gentlemen have been admitted, by the'Courf of Appeals of South Carolina, to practice in the Courts of Law in that State : John A. Alston, Davis Goddelock, John M. Lowar, Julius A. Dahoan, James Q. Hall, and John Smart. And the following were ad mitted to practice in the Courts of Chancery : Wm. J- Hanna, John Smart, CiUhles W. Miller, and Henrt Summer. STATE RIGHTS CONVENTION. The Recorder, of Milledgevilie in speaking of an assemblage of the State Rights Party in that place, on the 6th inst. says : “ This numerous as semblage, among other things, proposed that a Convention, to nominate a candidate. for Gover nor, should be held on the 4th Monday in May next, the Delegates to be selected as heretofore by the people of each county, in the same man mcr in which they elect their representatives ; which recommendation we hope to see generally and universally adopted.” We decidedly concur with the Recorder, iri its approval of this measure, and its hope tirat it may be generally adopted by the people. THE SPIRIT OP MONOPOLY. The monopolists of Savannah seem determin ed to make subservience lo the mammoth mono poly of that city the main test of fitness for pub lic office. We have already seen the arrogance with which the Georgian denounced Col. Daw •on, for opposing that monopoly, and the minor ity of the county for supporting him in the laic election, after that opposition; and now, the Mil ledgevilie correspondent of that paper, in speak ing of tho nomination of Col. Liddell by tbt Union party, says: “while hia opponent, Col Aliord, resisted, at every stage, tho bill to in corporate the Central Rail Road and Banking Company of Georgia, Col. L. was found sup porting the same, and votiug for its passage.”— Docs not this plainly shew, people of Georgia What you have to expect from monied monopo lies I—and should it not warn you of the conse quences of giving them power to control youi elections, and denounce your faithful public ser wants who will not sacrifice t» them your rights' —This support of the Chatham monopoly, may ml as tho writer says, “ entitle Col. L. to tho warn support of the citizens of Chatham,” but not ti that of tho people of Georgia, who we trust wil Judge of it as it deserves, and deal with him, a he dealt with them. Let the question be, Monopo '• ly, or no monopoly, if the friends of Col. Liddell desire it.—The best and unrest patriots have al = ways been first in opposing monopolies, especial ly monied monopolies ,- and tha people of Goor gia will scarcely make it an objection to Col. Al- V * o:iii, that ire has nobly and disinterestedly refu sed ot sacrifice their rights and interests to con ciliate tho favor and share the power and patron age of such monopolies. ic L VOTE OP SOUTH CAROLINA. -■ This truly great State, in all that is noble and J patriotic in a free people, stands out from all the rest like a Pyramid of the desert, aspiring above it the grovelling things of earth, lo reach the l * Heavens. True lo herself and her great princi ' pies, she scorns to enter tho how degrading and y corrupting contest for the Presidency, and gives u her vole only to those who are worthy of the un- corrupted suffrage of freemen, whether candidates _ or not. The following rlcvclopement of her j course, is from the Columbia Telescope of the rl 7th lust: “ Presidential vote of South Carolina.—Yes -11 terday, the House of Representatives passed the following resolution, offered by Mr. Adams: Resolved, That the Electors of President and 5 Vice President be instructed not to vole for Mar tin Van Burcn, Hugh L. White, or W. H. Har -11 rison, and to vote for John Tyler, of Virginia, for e Vice President. lit■; Afterwards, tho following resolution was adopt -11 cd by both branches of the Legislature. Resolved, That the Electors on lire part of this ! > State for President and Vice President, bo in-* structed to vote for Willie P. Manocm, of ‘ North Carolina, for President, and Joun Tiler, s of Virginia, for Vice President. The Electors are D. J. M’Gord, Tiros. F. Jones, ! > B. K. Henncgan, John Maxwell, T. L. Gourdin, Tiros. Dugan, John Littlejohn, John Frampton, e Patrick Noble, R. H. Goodwyn, B. T. Elmore.” , Willie P. Manoum is truly worthy of the , high honor conferred on him, and thougff, un fortunately for the country, it cannot make him , President, yet the pure and unsolicited suffrage of South Carolina is more honorable to such a man, than that of millions of corrupt and selfish intri guers, office-holders, and office-seekers. Like 3 others of the greatest and best men of tho coun -0 try, ho has quitted the corrupt and corrupting atmosphere of the Federal city to go into re tirement—as they who are incapable of appre ciating his motives or character, say, because r he had no hope of a re-election : And what if . it were so, there are those in office, who might . well envy him tho calm, contented, elevated con sciousness of rectitude, with which he retires frqm it; for tho loss, is not his, but his country’s; “ And more true joy, Marcallus, exiled, feds, Than Csezer, with the Senate at his heels 1 or even the wily little “ Jackal/,” that is now to , ‘-walk in the footsteps” of the “ roaring lion.” ■ John Tiler, too, is doubtless a great and i good man—ono whom wo have long respected i and revered—and to whom our only objection is, . that ho is not now, as usual, in better company. CONGRESS. Both Branches met on the sth inst., and pro ceeded to business. Present from Georgia—in . the Senate, Hon. J. P. King; in the House, . Messrs. Orantland, Hatnes, Jackson, and Owens. The proceedings of the first day arc J unimportant. The resignation of Mr. Lowery i as Clerk of the Senate, was handed in. Prom the Columbus Sentinel, B th inst. Outrageous Murder ! —lt becomes our task to announce an outrageous murder, committed on the body of .lambs G. Sals hurt, of Randolph county, on Wednesday evening of last week. Mr. Salsbury bad taken a seat alongside of the firc ’ place, the back of his ihair inclined against the ’ side of the house, and vVas reading a newspaper. - While in that position a shot was fired at him thro’ a crack between the lining of the house immediate ly in his rear, which entered Iris body in the re -1 gion of the kidnies. Mr. Salsbury sprang forward ■ from the chair on receiving the load, exclaimed : that he was shot, fell in front of the fireplace, and expired in loss than five minutes 1 Tho pre petrator immediately made off’, and at a little dis ancc from tho house a second report of’a gun was heard. The next morning a good track slut dog was put upon the trail from where the last if gun was fired. The dug kept the trail to a neigh lt boring swamp, which she entered, ami finally came to a lair where was a negro blanket and a ’’ pair of shoes, which the fellow in iris hurry to a gel away on hearing the dog, had left behind. He r . took down the swamp ami creek towards the j river, in tho neighborhood of which ho was dis y covered by some of Mr. Salsbury’s neighbors, 0 who immediately joined the pursuit, and found I- him to be one of Mr. Salsbury’s own negroes, a likely mullatto fellow, who had absconded about five months before. He made towards the river, J plunged in, and attempted to make bis way lo lire Alabama side, diving and swimming under < s water as much as he could. While in that posi tion several shots wore fired at him, but those in y pursuit doubt whether any struck him, as he was \ for (he most part of the time under water. When 1 he got about midway of tire river bo was seen to gasp and flounder in tho water, evidently ex hausted, and finally sunk to rise no more. i- '* Prom the State Rights Sentinel. i- COL. TOWNS’ RESIGNATION, e Wc have already informed our readers of tho resignation of Col. Towns, and expressed our o pinion of the impropriety of his course, based r " upon reasons assigned by himself in his Talbot le ton speech—we understand tho following lo be 1- the farts; Col. Towns being at Pontitoc, Missis -1 sippi, at tho land sales, and being a friend to the administration and member; of Congress, was con le slantly subjected to severe remarks on account of il. tho Treasury order not to receive nothing but | j. gold and silver in payment for lands, and bocoln ing provoked by being continually harrassed, ad-j ® dressed a letter to Gov. Schley, resigning Iris seat ?■ in Congress; this letter was handed lo a friend, - who, knowing its contents, took tho liberty of a putting it in the fire witirout Col. T's knowledge. ' This was in September; Col. Towns slit) finding Iris name on the Union Ticket running for Con e- gross and no annunciation by tho Governor of his jr resignation, writes him a letter enquiring whether r or’not he had received Iris resignation. This is tho letter of which the Governor spoke in his reply 1 ■ lo a resolution from the House on the subject. Col. y, Towns shortly afterwards returned from the West, m and determining still to resign, in order to follow up his speculations in the public lands, makes the 10 election of the White electoral ticket his excuse, ill This reason could not have existed in September, as because Col. Towns could not then know that White could get the vote of the State. 11 We give this story ss wo heard it—the matter should bo probod to the bottom. There is evi dently something wrong about it. Let the peo ple be informed, Two years ago nine gentlemen - were elected by the Union party, six of whom . have failed to serve out the term for which they were elected. Judge Schley resigned to run for Governor, Judge Wayne to accept a seat on tho Bench, Gen. Sanford to accept a potty Indian A - geucy, and Col. Towns lo enter into the land speculations. Messrs. Coffee and Terrell having died, of courso no blame attaches to them. Tho people have become weary of filling vacancies, and they should require of those elected, some 1 good reasons for abandoning tho trust committed 0 to their charge. Let them now elect Alford—we , give a pledge that he will servo them, and serve them too with fidelity and ability. 8 From the .V. Y. Commercial Advertiser, Dec. 3. ' Death of General Morton.—We learn s with sincere regret that our estimable fcllow . citizen, General JACOB MORTON, fell down s dead this morning. lie was in the stove store of Mr. Graham, in conversation with that gentleman, 1 when he fell.

Nov. 3!)—1 o’clock P. M. Mrs. BARBARA BLOUNT GAINES, wife 1 of Major General Edmund P. Gaines, died at . the residence of Jas. G. Lion, Esq. in this city, . For some time past she has been in a very ow r slate of bealtb, and at intervals her life has been despaired of. General Gaines is now in the city. Correspondence of the N, Y. Mer.

He died shortly after tho injury:— Charleston Mercury, 12/A inst. } - PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE— (concluded.) , Government, for the removal of i lie Indian tribes orig inally soiiled on this side of the .Mississippi, to the • west of that river, may be said to have boeuronsiim* p mated by the conclusion of the late treaty with the ’ Cherokoos. The measures taken in Ibo execution of . that treaty, ami in relation to onr Indian affairs gen erally, will fully appear by referring to tho accompa nying papers. Without dwelling on ibo numerous i and important topics embraced in them, I again invito • your attention to the importance of providing u well digested and comprehensive system for protection, supervision, and improvement of tho various tribes now plantbd in the Indian country. The suggestions submitted by the Comini sionor of Indian Affairs, • and enforced by tho Secretary, on tin’s subject, and , also in regard to the establishment of additional mil* ' itary posts in the Indian country, are entitled to your profound consideration. Both measures are necessa ry for the double of protecting the Indians from intestine war, and in other respects complying > with our engagements lo them, and of securing our western frontici against incursions, which otherwise will assuredly bo undo on it. The best hopes ol hu manity, in regard to (he aboriginal race, the welfare of our rapidly extending settlements, and the honor ofthc United States, arb all deeply involved in tha re lations existing between this Government.and the em igrating tribes. I trust, thcrofoio, (hat tho various matters submitted in the accompanying documents, in respect lo those relations, will receive your early and mature deliberation ; and that it may issue in the adoption of legislative measures adapted lo the cir cumstances, and duties ofthc present crisis. You are referred to tho report of tho Secretary of i the Navy fora satisfactory view of the operations of I the department under his charge, during the present year. In the construction of vessels at the different i navy yards, aid in the employment of our ships and squadrons at sea, that branch of tho.service lias been actively and usefully employed. While the situation of our commercial interests in tho West Indies re quired a greater number than usual of annod vessels to he kepi on the station, ilia gratifying to perceive that tho protection due to our commerce in oilier quarters of the world has not proved insufficient. Every effort has been made to facilitate the equip ment of the exploring expedition authorized by tha act of the last session, but all tho preparation neces sary to enable it to sail has not yet been completed. No means will be spared by the Government to fit out the expedition on a scale corresponding with tho liberal appropriation for the purpose,and with tho ele vated character of the objects which are la bo effect ed by it. I beg loavo to renew tho rccomrrcndat’on made in my last annual message, respecting the enlistment ol hoys in our naval service, and to urge upon your at tention the necessity of further appropriations to in crease tho number of ships afloat, and to enlarge gen erally tho capacity and force of thff navy. Tho in crease of our commerce, and our position in regard l o the other powers of the world, will always make it our policy and interest to cherish tho great naval re sources of our country. The report of the Post master General presents a , gratifying picture of the condition of tho Post Office Department, its revenues for the year ending the 30th of June last, were $3,398,155 19, showing an increase 1 of revenue over that of the proceeding year of $404,- > 878 53, or more than 13 percent. The expenditures ! for the same year were $2,755,622 70, exhibiting a i surplus of $012,831 43. Tie Department has been redeemed from embarrassment and debt, has accumu lated a surplus exceeding bull y million ofdollars, has [ greatly extended*and is preparing still further to ex- I tend, the mail service, and recummends a reduction i of postages equal to about ‘2O per cent. It is praclis i ing upon the great principle, which should control every branch ol our Government, of rendering lo the [ public tho greatest good possible, with the least pas . I siblo taxation to the people. | Tho scale of postages suggested by tho Postmaster General recommend* itself, not only by (he reduction II it propo rs, hut by the simplicity of its arrange incuts, 11 its conformity with the federal currency, and iheirn -11 provement it will introduce into the accounts of the ( Department and its agents. Your particular attention is Invited to the subject of mail contraets with rail road companies. The pt'e sent laws, providing lor making of contracts, are bus ed upon the presumption that competition among bid ders will secure the service at a fair price. But on most of the railroad lines, there is no competition in that kind of transportation, and advertising is there i fore useless No contractnow lie made with them . except such ns shall ho negotiated before tho lime of [ offering, or afterwards, and the power of tho Post* master General to pay them high prices, is practically without limitation It would be n relief to him, and 5 no doubt would conduce to the public interest to pre ' scribe by law, some equitable oasis upon which such 5, contracts shall rest, and restrict him by a fixed rule of . 1 allowance. Undsr a liberal act of (h it sort he would f undoubtedly bo able lo secure the services of most of j the railroad companies, a id the interest of tha depart i monk would he thus advanced. ’ | The correspondence between the people of tho Uni • i fed Slates and the European nations, and particular i ly with the British Ul irios, ha« become very extensive, 1 1 and requires the interposition of Congress to give it f security. No obstacle is perceived to an interchange lof mails, between Nevr York mid Liverpool, or oth ’ e r foreign ports, os proposed, by the Postmaster Gon »|eral; on Ino contrary, it promises, by the security it 1 will afford, lo facilitate commercial transactions, and s give rise to an enlarged intercourse among she pco r pie ol the different nations, which cannot but have a s happy effect. Through the city of Now York most oftho correspondence hi iwc-ii rho Canadas and Eu y ropo is now carried on, and urgent rcp/eaeniati jm I* j lfWo been received from tho head of the provincial t, p os t office, asking the interposition of the United ff stales Vi guard it from the accidents and losses to c which it is now subjected. Some legislation appears . to be called for, as well as our own interest, ns by '■ comity to the adjoining British Provinces. r ’ The expediency of providing a fire-proof building lt for tho important books and papers of the Po*t Office Department, i* worthy of consideration. In the pm- II sent condition of our Treasury, it is neither necessary nor wise to leave essential public interests exposed to ! so much danger, who.ilhey can so readily be made secure. There are weighty consideiatio" B in the lo cation of a now building for the Department in favor of placing it near the other Executive buildings. The important subjects of the survey of the coast, and the manufacture ofa standard of weights and mea sures of tho different custom-houses, have been in progress for some years, under the general direction oftho Executive, and tho immediate superintendence ofa gentleman possessing high scientific attainments. At the last session of Congress, tho making ofa set of weights and measures for each State in the Union was added lo the others by a joint resolution. Tho caro and corrcspondance as lo all ihoaesubjects has been devolved on the Treasury Department dur ing tho last year. A special report from the Secreta ry of the Treasury will soon bo communicated lo Congress, which will show what has been accom plished ns lothe whole, the number and compensa tion of persons now employed in tho*© duties, and the progress expected lo be made during the ensuing year, with a copy of the various correspondence deemed ne cessary lo throw light on the subjects which seem to require additional legislation. Claims have been made for retrospective allowances in behalf of the su perintendent and some of his assistants, which Idid not feel justified in granting; other claims have been made for large increases in compensation, which, un der all the circumstances of the several cases, I de clined making without the express sanction of Con gress. In order to obtain that sanction, the subject jvas at the last ssesion, on my suggestion, and byre quest of tho immediate superintendent, submitted by the Treasury Department to the Committee of Com merce of the House of K« presenintivos. But no leg islative action having taken place, the early attention of Congress is now invited to the enactment of some express and detailed provisions in relation to tho va rious claims made lor the past, and to the compensa tion and allowances deemed proper f»r I ho future. It is further respectfully recommended that such be ing the inconvenience of attention t# these duties by th 3 Chief Alagist rate, and such the great pressure of business on the Treasury Department, the general su pervision of the const survey, and the completion of tho weights and measures, :f tho works are kept uni ted, should bo devolved on a hoard of officers, organ izod especially for that purpose, eron the Navy Board attached to the Navy Department. All my experience and reflection confirms the con viction J have so often expressed to Congress, in fa vor ofnn amendment oftho constitution, which will prevent, in any event, the election of the President and Vice Pieaidontoftho United JSlatos devolving on the House of Representatives and the Senate; and 1 there lore bog leave again to solicit your alien lion to the subject. There were various other suggestions in my last annual message, not acted upon, particularly that relating to tho want of uniformity in the laws of the District of Columbia, that aro downed worthy of your favorable consideration. Before concluding this paper, I think it dua totliu various Executive Departments to bear testimony to their prosperous condition, and to tlui ability and in tegrity with which they have been conducted. It has been my aim to enforce in all of them a vigilant and faithful discharge of the public business, audit is grat ifying to mo to boliovo that there is no just cause of complaint from any quarter, at the maimer in which they have fulfilled the objects of their creation Having now finished tho observations deemed proper on this, the last occasion I shall have of com municating with tho two Houses of Congress, at their meeting, I cannot omit an expression oftho gratitude which is duo lothe great body of my follow-citizens, in whoso partiality and indulgence 1 have found on eoiimgpment and mioptm' in llio inn ny di/Ttfrent mid trying scenes through which it has been my lot to pass during my public career. Though deeply sensible that my exertions have not been crowned with a suc cess corresponding to tho degree of favor bestowed upon mo, 1 uni sure that they will ho considered as having been directed by an earnest desire to promote the good of my country ; and i am consoled by tho persuasion that whatever errors have been committed will find a corrective in (ho intelligence and patriot ism of those who will succeed us. All that has oc curred during my administration is calculated to in spire mo with increased confidence in the stability of our institutions ; and should 1 be spared to enter up on that retirement which is so suitable to my age and infirm health, and so much desired by me in other re spects, I shall not cease to invoke that henoficicnt Be ing lo whose providence wo are already so signally indebted for tho continuance of his blessings on our beloved country.
