Both branches of the Legislature will convene
in Milledgeville, Ga., on Wednesday the third
day of November next, and it is expected that
many important measures touching the interest
and prosperity of tho State, will be brought be
fore that body for their cautious and wide de
liberation. Among this number, the law organ-
izing the Supremo Court, should be carefully
revised and studiously corrected. It will be
expected that the committee on the Jud'ciarv,
New Advertisements.
Andrews, Miller ds Co., have opened a store
in this city, and have received an entire new
supply of Saddles, Bridles, Trunks, Whips of
all kinds, Harness, Leather, and all other arti
cles usually kept in their line, which they offer
at reasonable rates at their store, next to Dur
ham's Isabella House.

The Next Session—To our Patrons and
Friends.
For the next few weeks we expect to be in Mil
ledgeville at our post, during the session of the Leg
islature, and while there, we shall endeavor to fur
nish our readers with a correct report of all the
proceedings of that tody, of a general character, to
gether with such other news as mny he of interest
during the session
In our absence Col Alex. S. Lippitt, has kindly
consented to conduct the local Editorial department
of this paper. All letters on business should be
addressed to the “Albany Patriot,” and not to it
Editor.
Mr. James Matheney will at all times be at the
office, and ready to transact any business connect
cd therewith. In this connection we beg to return
our profound acknowledgements to our numerous
friends, for their kind exertions in behalf of the in
terest of the Patriot. Since wc have taken charge
of the paper, our subscription list has been greatly
enlarged, while very few have withdrawn, and those
withdrawals are, with ono or two exceptions, from
the former “Free List.
The business of the office is daily increasing,
and thus far has surpassed our most sanguine ex
pectations. If our patronage continues, wc will
endeavor by the first of January next, to arrange
fora new Press, with a view to furnish our read
ers with a larger, and we trust, a more interesting
paper.
Thus far our course has been approved by the
intelligent masses, and we have gained the entire
applause and approbation of our friends, and in £u
turo we shall devote all our energies to make the
Patriot an interesting Political and general ticks
Journal, which shall rank second to no piper in
Georgia. .

Peterson Thweatt, for a copy of his annual Report

Early Piety.—The follotving story is acknowl
edged a “good one,” but we have never before seen
it in print:
A few years siuce, some rogueiah boys in a town
not a thousand milos distant from tho capital of
New Hampshire, persuaded Joseph N , or, as
be was generally called, “Joe,” to attend Sunday
School. Joe was an overgrown, half witted, pro
fane lad, and the boys had anticipated considera
ble fun out of him; but the answers to the various
questions propounded were given so readily that no
one could for a moment euppose that he was not
fully versed in theological lore.
Joe was duly ushered in, and placed on a settee
in front of the one on which his triends were seat
ed, and the recitation commenced.
The teacher first questioned the class on their
egular lesson, and then turned to Joe.
“My friend,'’ said the teacher, ‘ who made the
world we inhabit ?”
Eli!” said Joe, turning up his eyes like an ex
piring calf.
‘Who made the world we inhabit?”
Just as he was probably about to give the an
swer, one of the boys seated behind insetted a pin
into bis (Joe’s) pants, about nine inches below the
ornamental buttons of his coat.
God Almighty !” answered Joe, in an elevated
tone, at the same time rising from his seat.
“That is correct,*’ replied the teacher; ‘‘but it
is not necessary that you should rise in answering
A sitting posture was just as well.”
Joe was again seated, and the catechism proceed
cd.
“Who died to save the world ?”
The pin was again inserted, and Joe replied—
“Jesus Christ!” in a still louder voice, rising, as be
fore, from bis seal
“Thai is also correct, but do not manifest so much
feeling; do be more composed and reserved in your
manner/’ said (he teacher, in an .expostulating
tone.
After Joe had calmed down, the examination
ent on.
“Wh3t will be the final doom of all wicked men?”
was the subject now up for consideration ; and
the pin was again stuck in, Joe thundered out, w
a higher elevation oi his body—“Hell and dam

trial of Rev. J. R. Graves, alluded to
in my last, came up at the First Baptist Church
on Tuesday, 12th inst. 'Tho Church was
crowded, and great curiosity was manifested to
hear the trial. After a number of preliminary
motions, the charges against the accused were
rend, and when asked whether he admitted or

A motion to non-suit the charges, for infor

to speak in his defence. He then read a pro

Personal,
During tho past week our city has been alive
with strangers, among them wo were glad to
meet many of our friends. Col. A. M. Speer,
the present efficient clerk of tho House of Rep
resentatives, appears in tho enjoyment of good
health, with his usual flow of “fine spirits.”—
The Col. we learn is spoken of as the next
Democratic candidate for Congress from the
third Congressional District. Col. Samuel Hall
and Col. T. W. Montfort, the latter is the pres
ent able Solicitor General ofthe Macon Circuit,
and is a candidate for re-election without oppo
sition. We'll stand a Beaver that the Col’s,
election is certain. Col. J. W. Hancock, the
able Editor of the Sumter Republican, and Col.
A. R. Lamar, formerly of the Savannah Geor
gian, both these gentlemen appear in excellent
health, hot unlike most Editors, better able to
eat their allowance than they are to get it.—
Hon, A. P. Powers and Hon. Henry G. Lamar,
the present Judge of the “Macon Circuit."—
The Col. presides w»th great ability, and is a
decided favorite with the Bar and people. Cob
John M. Giles, of Houston, we were also pleas
ed to see at our office. He is tho candidate for
Judicial honota in opposition to Col. Lamar of
the "Macon Circuit/* Col, Giles is a high
toned gentleman, a sound lawyer, and strictly
honorable in all his transactions, but as both
gentlemen are ofihe same political views, we
trust they will submit their claims to ihe decis
ion of a fair and impartial Convention of the
party. Marty anxious inquiries were made by
4jp friends of CoL O. A. Lochrane, who was ex-
■peoted Id 1° attendance at Worth Superior
£ogrt. RJa absence was regretted, as his usual
nothing but a complete mass of corruption, rot
tenness and ruin.
We have confidence in the present Legisla
ture, and feel ussured that they will act on all
these important measures with prudence and
caution, and represent, regardless of conse
quences, the best interest of the people in the
premises.
South-Western Georgia, Again.
It was not our infection to allude to this qustion
again at this time, and only do so, from the fact
that certain Editors have thought proper to magify
the views contained in our former article, to suit
their own taste.
’ We remarked in that article, that South-West
ern Georgia had been ungenerously dealt with, in
Executive appointments to offices of profit. In re
ply, the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, gives us a list of
Georgia appointments by Congressional Districts,
but fails to furnish us with the proper residence of
each appointee.
As we remarked in opr former article, that at a
proper lime we would allude to this subject again,
we will at present dismiss the discussion, merely
remarking that the city of Columbus must not be
-considered the whole of the second District, and
the rest of South-Western Georgia thrown in for
good measure. At present we feel compelled to
pocket the appointment of Benjamin May,Esq., as
a favor, and promise at a proper time to allude to
the question of preferment again.
We will here add by way of a wind up, that
from conversations with, and numerous private let
ters received from influential citizens throughout
reaches from Pole to Pole.
This is one of the “Signs” of the times.
Bridge at Albany,
The middle pier of the Bridge now being
•eted across Flint River at this point, is about
finished, and the balance ofthe woik going on
ith great-rapidity. We shall soon be able to
alk over dry shod. 'The river is as low as
as ever known at this seasoti of tiie year.
.cheerful disposition would have given additional thit section, we feel assured that we are endorsed,
enjoyment to tbo occasion, [and will be sustained in oar remarks.
Judicial Convention in Worth.
A potlion of the Democratic party, of Worth
county, having met this day at Isabella, for the
purpo&eol nominating Delegates to represent this
county, in a Convention to be held forjudge and
Solicitor General of tho Macon Circuit. On mo
tion the Hon. Wm. A. Harris, was called to the
Chair, and W. L. Hunt, Esq., requested to act as
Secretary.
The Chairman on taking his seat, explained the
object of the meeting in a few aod pertinent re
marks.
On motion of Francis B. Lippitt, Esq, it was Re
solved, that the Chairman appoint four Delegates
to cast the vote of this county in said Judicial Con
vention—whereupon the Chair appointed F. B.
Lippitt, W. L- Hunt, Daniel Henderson, and Lew
is M. Simmons, Esqs.
On motion of James G. Brown, Esq . the ap
poinlmenl of Delegates was ratified by the meet
ing. The meeting then recommended the third
Tuesday in November as a proper time, and Ogle
thorpe as a suitable place for the Convention to
meet.
On motion of Lewis S. Simmons, the Albany
Patriot, and State Rres*, be requested to publish
these proceedings, and that this Convention do
now adjourn.
W. A. HARRIS, Ch’n,
W. L. Hunt, Sec’y.
The Exchange Bank of Griffin.—The Gov
ernor has directed the Solicitor General of the cir
cuit to institute proceedings against this bank, for
the purpose of ha.viug it* charter declared to be for
feited as the law .directs. The proceedings, we
learo, have been instituted on the complaint of
Mr. Jones, the editor of the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel, the bank having proved default on a de
maud made by him upon it for the redemption of
one of its one dollar “promises tp psy.'*—Empire
Slate,
,—and stated that he was ready and
meet an investigation if it were made
according to the New Testament.
'The question was put after some discussion
on the motion to remand the whole proceedings
on ti e ground of informality, and lost,—11 for
remf tiding, and D8 for immediate trial.
Mr. Graves, after a few remarks, stated that
could not fellowship with the Church any
more, anil announced his withdrawal.
The Moderator state!! that Mr.GitAVEshim-
self had held that the only way to get out of
the Baptist Church was by death, or exclusion.
Mr. Graves claimed that when a Church
amples upon the law of Christ, it becomes a
faction, and not a church.
On a motion to adjourn, tho congregation
were requested to remain after adjournment,
and those who had voted against the immedi
ate trial of Mr. Graves organized another meet-
A paper was then read, which claimed
that the persons whose names were appended
constituted the First Baptist Church, and that
the majority who voted for sustaining the
charges, were factionist. This statement was
signed by about 20 members of the First Bap-
tist Church.
Mr. Graves then requested tho body to call
a council of two ministers from each Church in
the association, to investigate the charges
against him. Tho meeting then adjourned to
meet Sunday afternoon.
On the next day, those who were for imme
diate trial proceeded with an examination, and
on the question, whether Mr. Graves was guilty
of the first charge (as published in my last let
ter) there was a unanimous vote in the affirma
tive. The investigation will be continued to
night.
Hon. A. H. Colquitt-—We copy the fol

“We are glad to see that this gentleman has
been nominated by the Democratic party of
Baker County, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the cutting off the residence ofthe old Sena
tor, Mr. Cumliie, into the now county of Mitch
ell. It is gratifying that such a man as Mr.
Colquitt, will occupy a seal in the Senate during
the approaching session. Already versed in the
Legislation of Congress, by a membership of
several years in the House of Representatives,
he will be ablo to bring all the experience ac~
quired in that field to bear upon the measures
suitable and necessary for the good of the State

Air.—“J would not Die in Spring Time.”
I would not die in Spring time,
When worms begin to crawl,
When cabbage plants are shooting up,
And frogs begin to squall;
*Tis then the girls afle full of charms,
And smile upon the men ;
When lamb and peas are in their prime—
I would not perish then.
I would not die in Summer,
When trees are filled with fruit —
And every sportsman has a gun,
The little birds to shoot,
The gilrathen wear tho bloomer dress,
And half distract the men ;
II is the time to swear it oul—
I would not perish then.
I would not die in Autum,
When new-mown hay smells sweet,
And little pigs are rooting round
For something nice to eat.
Tia then the huntsman’s wild alloo,
la heard along the glen,
And oysters gin to fatten up—
I would noi perish then,
I would not die in Winter—
For one might freeze to death,
Whan blustering boreas sweeps around,
And takes away oue’a breath,
When sleigh-bell* jingle—horse* snort,
And buck-wheat cakes are tall;
In fact, this is a right good world—*
I would not die at all.
