Extract from the report of the joint
committe on Agriculture and internal
Improvement,
1 he joint committee on Agriculture
and Internal Improvement to whom
was referred the petition of sundry ci
tizens of Camden county, praying for
die adoption of measures to promote
dye opening of a Canal from the St.
Mary’s river, to the river Suwanna,
Report, 1 hat they have taken the pe
tition into consideration, and regret
that the tacts presented do not admit
ot a definite judgment on this interest
ing subject. It appears however, that
a safe inland communication from the
St. Mary’s river to the Gulph of Mex
ico, is in all probability easily brought
about through the medium of a short
canal to the Suwanna river. Avery
superficial knowledge of the geography
of die country will make the great
importance ol this communication
sufficiently manifest. The great por
tion of the shores of the Gulph of Mex
ico, now opened by the United States,
tiie immense value of the productions
of the large and extensive back coun
try whose foreign commerce must all
pass through this dangerous naviga
ion, render the safety of their com
merce an object of high importance in
a national point of view, ’['his is par
ticularly evident in time of war, w hen
the extensive coast of Cape Florida
must be exposed to all the dangers of
naval warfare. It by opening the ca
nal contemplated, an easy, safe, and
cheap conveyance can be opened to
the commerce of this extensive and
valuable portion of eur country, it is
an object highly worthy of the consid
eration of the Legislature ; but the
State of Georgia is more essentially
interested as one of her principal
towns, and a large portion of her coun
try, would be benefitted in an incal
culable decree.
tour committee therefore recom
mend the adoption of the following re
solution :
Resolved, That His Excellency the
Governor be, and he is hereby request
ed, so scon as a qualified Civil ar.d
Topographical Engineer is appointed
in conformity with the laws of this
state, to direct him so soon as practi
cable, to have a survey made between
the navigable waters, with a view to
ascertain the practicability of opening
a canal from one river to the other,
and that he cause a report of such sur
vey to be made to the next ensuing
Legislature after such survey may
have been made.
The joint judiciary committee made
the follow mg report which was agreed
to: —
The joint committee on the judicia
ry to whom was referred the resolu
tion, instructing them to enquire iuto
the expediency of appointing some lit
and proper person to compile and di
gest the Statutes of Kugland that are
of force in the state of Georgia, Re
port, That they have taken the same
into consideration, and are of opinion
that the subject matter embraced in
the said resolution, is one well worthy
the serious attention of the Legisla
ture. It being known that there arc
hut few copies of the Statutes of Eng
land in the State of Georgia, and those
which arc of force in this state being
comparatively speaking, but few, and
scattered throughout a heavy and vo
luminous work, to wit, the statute
laws of England up to the year 177 b,
so that very few have the opportunity
allorded them of knowing what the
said laws are; and in order to effect
this desirable object, the committee
take leave respectfully to recommend
the following resolution:
Resolved by the General Assembly
of the State of Georgia, ihat it is ex
pedient that some fit and proper per
son should be appointed by the Legis
lature at its present session, to com
pile and digest the statute laws of
England that are now in force in the
State of Georgia, and whose duty it
shall be within two years to report the
same to his Excellency the Governor,
who, after the same lias been examined
by a committee of three learned in the
law, (to be appointed by him for that
purpose) shall approve or disapprove
of the same ; and who for their said
services shall be paid by the Governor,
out of the contingent fund— and when
the said work shall be performed and
approved, that his Excellency the Go
vernor be, and lie is hereby authorized
to subscribe for ‘2OOO copies in conve
nient bound volumes—provided the
sum does not exceed the price of four
dollars per volume, to lie disposed of
and distributed as tiie Legislature mav
direct.
Die following written communica
tion was brought from liis Excellency
the Governor.
Executive Department, Geo.)
Milledgeville, 9th Dec. 1823. >
During tin* -ho,rt period I have been
in the Executive office, it has not been
difficult to ascertain that the hooks and
papers ot it, are in such disorder and
confusion as to require immediate at
tention. Instead of a regular classifi
cation and an alphabetical arragement
under it, the papers of all kinds, w ith
out regard to the subject matter of
them, are put on file as soon as they
are received. The consequence of
this prac'ice is, that the existence of
documents depending on the memory
alone, the most experienced in the de
tails of the office are at a loss where
to look for them and the search after
any, the mofct important and recent, is
as likely to be fruitless as unavoidable.
If you think with me therefore, that
this is a matter of sufficient public
importance to justify expence, I would
recommend to you to authorize the
employment of a competent number
of active Clerks, with stipulated com
pensation who shall, under the direc
tion of the head of the department,
perform this special service. The
work being finished, they may be dis
charged. I lie old books and papers,
connected with the events which from
our early history, are thrown into
trunks and put aside as food for worms.
So far as the history ot our country is
of any value to us, I would submit for
your consideration, whether these also
may not be overhauled, and be made
to pass through a similar classification
and arrangement.
(Signed) G.M. TROUP.

I’M ALL ALONE.
Oh why alas! am 1 so sad,
My spirits so depressed ;
Why can’t 1 feel like others, glad,
And seem like others bless'd ?
Is it because my lot is low,
And fortune is unkind,
That makes the silent tear to fiow,
And thus distracts iny mind ?
Or is it that iny humble name,
By late ordained to die,
Is not inscribed on charts of fame,
To meet the public eye ?
’Tis not tor honor or for wealth,
That 1, my lot bemoan ;
But ‘tis, that I’m denied my health,
And that I'm bllelone.
I’m like a hnptess prb'ner bound,
And (juite uneasy grown ;
1 cast my wishful eyes around,
And sigh to think that I'm alone
These nukcd walls that hound my sway,
Like some lone cavern yawn ;
Ami seem with taunting air to say,
“ Why art thou thus alone ?”
True, solitude doth oft impart
A calm and soothing tone,
But who, that has a feeling heart,
Would always be aloue ?
’Tis true, I’ve friends sincere and kind,
( l glory such to own ; )
And this is why l thus repine,
To grovel all alone.
To mingle in a social mood,
We are by nature prone :
And Heaven declares “ it is not good
For man to he alone.”
Rochester, (jY. V.) Nov. 18.
The statement that one hundred
and forty three bushels of corn were
raised by Mr. John F. Fargo, on
one acre, the present season, seems
to stagger the faith of some of our
farmers who are in the habit of til
ling twice as much land as they
should do. Mr. Fargo is a res
pectable farmer, and we have no
doubt but his statement is strictly
correct. The appearance of his
farm shows that he acts on the old
maxim that u what is worth doing,
is worth doing well.” We are
told by Mr. F. that he took no ex
traordinary pains with his corn
this season, and he is of opinion
that he m.ght have raised more if
he had expended more labor upon
it. W e should not be surprised if
another season should show us a
still larger growth from the same
farm. The corn was the long eared
eight rowed kind.
The soil on which the corn was
grown, was sandy loam had been
pastured by cattle sheep, and swine,
about 13 years, ploughed once last
fall and once this spiing, and then
ridged about, 2 1-2 feet apart,
planted the last of May in hills (4
kernels in a hill) 3 1-2 feet apart,
and hoed twice in the course of the
season. Monroe Rep.
House Moving. —We noticed,
some time ago the removal of a
three story brick house in New-
York. The “ Salem Observer”
gives the following account of a
similar affair in that town :
Capt. Joseph Edwards, an enter
prising and industrious mechanic
of this town, lately removed the
asylum house, in Carpenter street,
with the chimneys, furniture and
fixiures, over thirty'feet by means
ol a slide. The family were with
in attending to their concerns,
while the house was moving. We
understand that neither the walls
nor the brick work in the chimneys,
received the slightest injury by the
removal.” Nat. Int.

himself a helpmate. He also express
es his conviction of being blessed with
a numerous offspring, and therefore
“ prays he may have a law passed al

Singular Marriage. — A Mr. Miller
aged 40, was lately married to a Mrs.
James, not quite 15, by the Rev. Mr.
Richardsou. All the parties were of
Harford county, Maryland. It appears
that Mr. Richardson marrried the
above Miller to his first wife, about five
years before this last one was born ;
ami she, although not 15 years of age,
has now been united in the holy bonds
ot matrimony no less than three times.
