The counties of Forsyth, Lumpkin, Habersham and

Habersham ; and Forsyth joins Lumpkin. These, four
counties return to tho Comptroller General’s Office,
3080 voters. Add to this four per cent., (which is a
large estimate) for men over 60 years of age, and not
liable to be returned, but authorized to vote, and thorn
would be 3203 voters. At tho late election,these same

I from every section of the United States, since tho
recent Presidential Election, and those elections which
immediately preceded it, the press has been loud in
proclaiming, denouncing, and exposing illegal voting.
I In many p»rt» of the Union, prosecutions have been in-
I diluted against many, who are charged with thus pol
icing the ba'Iot box, and already has the sentence of
ihe law been passed upon individuals found guilty of
Ihii heinous offence. In our own State, from many
counties,have calls been made for copies of lists of voters,
n order that examinations may be made, and that pros,
ecutioas may be commenced againit those guilty of that
| double crime in illegal voting, fraud and perjury. This
j ji truly an alarming state of things, and demands inves
tigation. It demands investigation, first, beesuse by
gaming the purity of elections, the safely of the Re
public is best guarded ; and, second, because unless it
he preserved, that choicest privilege of a freeman,/ree
tuffmge, will bo swallowed up by the corruption of tho
r, and prove worthless to every man who desires to
| md will exercise it, with an eye single to the inainten-
•neeand preservation of Republican Institutions. Such
coniideralions have influenced us to examine well into
ihcchargeof illegal voting in Georgia, and while pur
suing our investigation, we have collected the/«c/s to
which we shall presently refer. In the meantime, we
beg leave to call the reader’s attention to the following
tr«iR. It has been compiled from the Tax Returns
for 1844, deposited in the State House with the Comp
troller General—-and it shows,frst, how many per-
ions in the Slate, and in each county, were entitled to
vote, according to the Tax Receiver’s Returns—second,
how many did vote in each county, at the late election —
third, tvhere a less number voted than were entitled to
the privilege—and fourth, the Excess of votes. Let tho
table be well examined, that light may he diffused, and
I fmul at the ballot box exposed !
ENTITLED TO VOTE ! !
But lot us pursue this line a little further. Madison
and Elbert join Franklin; Lincoln joins Elbert; and
Columbia joins Lincoln. These four counties return to
the Comptroller General’s Office, 2986 voters. Add to
this, as above, tour per cent, for men over age, and
there would be 3105 voters. At Ihe late election, these
same counties gave Mr.Clay 2124, and Mr. Polk 999-
in ail, 3123 voters, am) a majority for Clay of 1125.
Take the voters returned by the Tax Receiver with
the per cent, for men over 60, and the votes given, and
it will be seen, that while the first tour counties have
given two thousand six hundred and thirty-two totes more
than can be accounted for, by the same information and
estimate, the last four have only given 18 more than
they are entitled to. Elbert county, which gave 813 out
of the 1125 majority for Clay, and which gave the lar
gest majority of any county iu the Stale, voted only 37
more than is returned on the tax book—add the four
per cent, for men over age, and it will be seen that she
voted five less than she was entitled to.
The last mentioned counties are Whig counties—the
first, are Democratic—which makes the fairer showing!
No one can hesitate in his answer. Neither shall we
hesitate to say, that, in our opinion, Henry Clay has
received a majority of the legal votes of the State of
Georgia,

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Yesterday was the day for the Electors of President
and Vice President of the United States to meet in this
place. Seven appeared, and the body was organized
by choosing Charles J. McDonald, Esq. Chairman,
and appointing P. H. Sanford, Esq. Secretary. The
College thon adjourned until 12 o’clock to-day. The
absentees are Messrs. Baxter, Charlton and YVofFord
If these gentlemen do not appear by to-morrow at 12
o’clock, tbe law authorizes the Electors present to fill
the vacancies.
Tho last advices from Mexico show that the govern
ment is on the eve of dissolution, and tho country of
civil war. The new treaty made by Mr. Thompson for
the adjustment of claims of our citizens, which was ra
tified by the U. S. Senate, witli .certain modifications,
has not been finally acted upon hy the Mexican Gov
ernment. The balance of tho indemnity duo to us, un
der tho awards of the late commission, and amount
ing to two millions and a half, lias been raised hy the
Mexican Government, in anticipation, and expended
on other objects. The late Minister of the Treasury
knows well how it has gone. Our claimants will not
get it very soon.
Iu this state of things, we cannot remain on very good
terms with Mexico, though a war against her would be
worse than idle. General Jackson once recommended
reprisals upon her, m a simi ar case, hut it Would be.
impossible to put such an act into execution, 'as she
lias nothing exposed upon which we could make repri
sals.
VVeare much at a less to imagine what Mr. Tyler
will propose in Ilia message in regard to Texas. He
cannot revive and again propose a dead treaty ; and it
does not appear that any new one is on foot. He may
iropose a legislative act, to be inet by corresponding
egislation or. the part of Texas, but such a proposition
would receive little favor, inasmuch as it does not be
come this government to go a begging for confederates.
There seems also to be a party in Texas, with the
President at the head of it, opposed to annexation ; and
there is no doubt that a grand triple intrigue, to which
England, Mexico and Texas are parties, is on foot,
the object of which is to prevent annexation to the
United States.
Added to these circumstances, is the fact that a large
portion of the democratic party north of the Potomac,
and nearly tho whole of the whig party, are opposed to
annexation, and that Mr. Benton comes here with rein
forced hostility to the project from the West. The
aspect of things, therefore, is must unfavorable to the
annexation of Texas. Mr. Polk, to be sure, is Presi
dent, or will be on the fourth of March, but he cannot
control these untoward circumstances. There is, in
fact, very little prospect of the annexation of Texas to
the United States for years to come, and, in the mean
time, the opportunity presented at tho late session, tnay
be lost forever.
A first rate panic has been got up at the North, and
will probably travel, with due speed, to tbe South.—
Those who have made it, have already begun to profit
by i t.
Mr. Adams has arrived here, and resides at his house
in F. street, near the Treasury. His health appears
to be excellent, and his mind hs active, and feelings as
youthful as ever. He is certainly an astonishing man,,
physically as well as mentally.
There is to be a grand democratic fete here to-tnor* •
row in honor of the victory.

I In Ihe early |ta#t of the year, little was done except td Ice*]
the Rond in rep tie. The cattaee which led tothteonume can
not be better explained tbsn by reformat to ■communication
made to one of tbb newspaper* on the 25th of April Inet, on
Ihe sigUMtare of the Chief Engineer, in the following
jwuttln! f ' 1
\ ‘‘The Legislature et its lute session passed an act supply-
j big certain defect a which Ihe lapse ol (line had created In ex*
{ fating Uwsforthe construction of the Weetern amt Atlantic
I Railroad, aud requiring Ihe “Chief Engineer, under the direc
tun of the Governor, to progress gradually in the completion
oi the said Western and Atlantic Railroad with the existing
j appropriation* when the game can be economically expended,
,! SfC. The act alao provide* (or ihe aale of the mad if one can
b* effected on certain conditions therein named.
I “J\ wa* deemed uecessary, incompliance with the spirit

ger of being forced to sacrifice her Honda and secure to her
the bent4t of the low price* at which work may he done when
tbe contractor can rely on receiving in pnymcni a currency
of uniform value To effect thia object, it wa* necessary to
negotiate the Honda for specie, to be used on tbe work, and to
contract for the importation of iron and other materials on such
term* na might give lo the State all the benefit of the increased
value of her Bonds, which is confidently anticipated.
“Iu thia, aui'll progress ha* been made aa to make the at
tainment of all the objects desired nearly certain.
“An order will probably go to England in a fow days, for
ne thouHund eight hundred tons of iron, of (lie Bridge pat
tern, under a contract which gives ample time to make the
moat advantageous disposition of the State securities. In the
course ofthe next six weeks,contracts will be made for the. tim
ber to bo delivered on the line,between the Etowah and the junc
tion of (lie Rome Briim.li. In the month ofOctoher.it is propos
ed to let all the work designed to be accompliabcd by the close
of 18(5. The moat economical way to let work, ia lo give mi
entire year lo complete it in,and to let it long enough before
the commencement of the year, to enable contractors to make
suitable pnmnrntiona and arrangements. A t the same time it
ia probable Mint three Locomotive* will be ordered.
“The work will then be pressed with vigor, so as to have ns
prent a distance ns possible ready to receive the iron. The
iron is purchased now, inconsequence of an anticipated rise
iu it* price,hut the transportation of il from the seaboard to
the State, road, will be delnyed as long as possible, to give the
State the benefit of the diminition of cost, consequent upon
the progress towards completion of the private roads. The
iron will be brought up lotrel v time enough to be laid down hy
the eud of 1845. It was the enormous cost of this transpor
tation inuinly,that rendered it nucessnry to purchase s pinto
rail, null it is the reduction anticipated in that item, chiefly,
which now makes it advisable to procure a better article.
“Tim* will all the arrangements be made for the comple
tion of the greatest possible amount of work, and in the most
economical manner, by the end of 1845, without incurring any
sacrifice for the completion of any portion of it in any shorter
time. The close ol that year will, it is believed,see Augusta
ami Savannah connected by iron mils, with Rome, and the
main stem of the State Rond completed for bevond its junc
tion witli the Rome Branch. Georgia may then expect to
reap some of the fruit* of her labor uml expenditure.
“In anticipation of this result, suitable preparations will
be made to pul the Western and Atlantic Railroad into lull and
j effective operation, by the time referred to—und the ’45
be us memorable in Georgia us in Scotch history, but with far
inure agreeable associations.”
> It is necessary to state that the views here expressed have
j been substantially carried out. On the 8tli of May nn order
j wus given to Messrs. John Frasier At Co; of Charleston for
the importation of 1,840 tons o( rails weighing 40 lbs. per yd
The State has, ut her option, twelve months credit, paving
I interest at the rate of of.5 per cent, per annum, thus gtiurding

The proper made nf conducting the transportation on thi
work hs* been made the subject of Inlmrioii* investigation
and reference lin* been made to the experience ufother works,
especially the Pennsylvania Btste works, which are in ninny
respects,’similarly situs ted. The result of this inquiry has
been * thorough conviction that the Btalefif she retains posses
sion of the work) should own the motive power and passenger
cars and that the private companies connected with the work
at its Hniith-easi* in terininiiH should own the car* for the
transportation of every species of freight. This would obvi
ate Ihe expense and risk oftrnus-shipmenl which should lie a
very important item in the whole cost of conveyance to the
sea board. Thcnassenger business is attended with very
little risk or troulile, mid tbe State should retain the whole of
that in her own hands. Tho charge for passengers should
commence si 5 cents per mile, nod may he coueidershly de-
r.iensed when the number of passengers become* a* great si
it must inevitably be. The reason of ibis i* very obvious, but
is much more evident in comparison between small number^-
than between larger numbers. Even in this lost case howev
er. tho ra te of cost continues to decrease, though not rapidly
with the increase of (be number. The number of passengers
transported a distance of one mile over the Baltimore and
Ohio Rnilroud.in the yeor ending .’September 80,1843, was 2,
646,719—and in tho year ending September 30, 1844, they in
creased this number to 3,575,029 at a cost diminished hy halt
cent per mile on each passenger.
'File rules Slid regulations of 4be School, I think eminently
arc strict, bot kindly administered hy a mild
believed that the large quantity of freight transported on lliis
road would warrant this lowcfiurge. For in this case like
wise, ihe cost of transportation diminishes rapidly with the
amount of business.
It would be easy to settle on ilia proper division of the
freight between the owner of the car, ami the owner ofthe
road and motive power.
With these arrangements, if the road is well managed, there
no doubt of its yielding a considerable ele.ir revenue to the
State. All of which is respectfully submitted,

“To the Yictois belong the Spoils”—-the work of
Proscription already begun,
It is known that when Gen. Harrison was elected
President, he found all the offices filled with Democrats
—many of whom, proved to be competent and faithful,
and he noton'y refused to turn them out. hut ro»a;««A
them in office. Among the number thus retained, were
the Post-masters of Augusta, this place, and Savannah.
The Post-master, Mr. E. B. Glascock, in Augusta, no
doubt acting upon the same principles, viz : employing
such persons as wero best calculated to dischnrgo the
duties of his office, retained or employed several clerks,
the greater part of whom are Whigs. And what is the
result 1 No sooner is it ascertained that Mr. Polk is
elected, than it is determined by a portion of the Dem
ocrats of Augusta, that their Democratic Post.master
shall be turned out, and a successor is selected. There
is no charge that the Post-master is not capable,
not honest, and does not discharge his duties faithfully;
but the cause complained of, is, that he employs Whig
clerks in his office!! Arc the people prepared to sus
tained such conduct 1 All for party—and nothing for
country. Here is an honest and faithful public officer,
so capable is he, so faithful is his discharge of the du
ties of his office, that even in high political excitement,
his opponents will not take the responsibly of turning
him out, but yet, no sooner does the Democratic party
get into power, than they attempt to turn him out, and
for no other cause, than that he selects those whose capacity
for business, and whose assistance, enabled him to give
satisfaction not only to Ihe Government, but to all interest
ed.
We gather an account of these doings in Augusta
from no Whig—but from a communication of Dr. Me-
Whortcr, in i.hc Constitutionalist of the 26th ult. It
appears that this gentleman had been selected as tbe
successor of Mr. Glascock—but opposition being made
by a portion of the Democrats, becomes out in an ad.
dree<6, “to the Democratic party of Richmond qounty,’ 1
and, in it, is tho following remarkable passage:
“Without the slightest expectation of the proffered honor, 1
never bad,nor liavo I now,any hesitation in regard to what it
becomes tlie party to do. I fit has no self-respect nor pride of
character, 1 for one would not only spurn its honors, hut its
lliauce in any respect; and now I declare that / will not act
publicly with it again, till that Post Office is thoroughly pit
gtd of tts offences. Ever since I 840, we liuvo tolerated an ev
ident burguin w ith our I’ost Master to feed Whig* at our ex
pense. Cun nny one doubt, that thi* was the condition on which
he kept hisotfice? How faithfully has it been performed?
When has our Font Office not been full of Whig* ?—Whigs
too, who had neither (lie good sense, nor good feeling, to sacri
fice a portion of their party zeal to a grateful sense of their
obligation to those who so long and so generously forbore lo
ir insults. What party of any pride

Died, at StanfordvillF, Putnnm county, on the 22nd Nov.
last., Mr. Augustus F. Andrews,aged twenty one year* and
one month, lie wa* afflicted for the last ten years with Scro
fula, which afflicted his whole Hystain, lastly afflicted his
lung*, which produced consumption and terminated hiB career
of existence after being confined to hi* bed about fifte in days.
He wa* truly a son of affliction, but wus enabled to nny amidst
his affliction tliul hi* peuee wns made with his God; lie said
that he wa* rcudy and willing to die, and we have no doubt
that he has gone to reap his reward where sickne** and sor
row, pain and death are felt and feared no more. Blessed are
the dead that die in Ihe Loid, for they cease from their labors
and their work* do follow them, lie could say iu his expir
ing moments,
“Jesus can make a dying lied
Feel soft a* dowuv pillars are,
While on his hreust I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.”
Died, nt Scottsboro’,on the 29tli ult., Amanda Caroline
Flournoy, youngest daughter of W. W. Cullens, in the
fifth year of her age. One affliction after another has fallen so
grievously upon this family from which Amanda has been
torn by the hand of death, tliat all sources ofcouxolution seem
to he sealed ; and lie who would console,stands in mute des
pair before tlie immense burthen of sorrow that bis sympathies
would vain remove. The mother, brother, and infant sistorof
the decea-ed, have departed within so brief a space of time as
to render remembrance of the exit of each nn absorbing and
mournful memory of all. But. in the sacred word of (lie Gos
pel, there is a consoling spirit amply sufficient to ullcviate the
direct wounds of grief, how deep or frequent soever they mo)
he iu the liernaved and shattered bosom. This is (lie only
refuge u comfortless father has from the anguish of accumula
ted sorrow. It is indeed a “convert from the tempest," and
invites tliejudcd pilgrim of life’s desert to repose “even as the
shadow of a great rock in u weary land." His beloved child
husrtieered him, it is true, with the evidences of an affection
ate and dutiful nature, and an intellect ready and sprightly
for one so tender iu years ; but why should the absence of
these, with her they adorned, preclude the entrance of that
* halm of gilead" \» liich soothes while it inspires, and heals as
il points to nn eternal and blissful reunion of souls.

with ilia Memphis Branch Kuilroad, and to he carried beyond
[ that point to Oust-tnauley, in compliance as nearly an possible
with the spirit ofthe act oft 613. A contract has also been made
to change fourteen mile* of the former superstructure on which
the iron has never been laid, and five miles of that on which i
plate rail husheen laid,mnl adapt it lo the reception of a bridge
rail. This measure was deemed advisable that the whole o
the heavy rail might he laid on that portion of the road ovei
which tlie greatest tonnage will paws, a largo accession of
trade being expected from the branch to Rome. There
another cause contributing to confirm thi* view ; this
the decayed stale of the superstructure already laid. Much
of this timber lias been liying on the roud for four years, an
the average time has been more than three years, a space <
time not far short of the usual duration of timber on railroad
But the decuy of the timber on this road ha* uuquestioiiahl
been much accelerated by Dr. Euri’s preservation process
through which it was curried. In justice to myself, 1 beg
leave to quote iny remarks on this subject in my leporl to
your predecessor in 1842. I then said, “The work has been
very much increased in quantity ns well as cost, by tlie pre-
servntive process through which the timber has been carried
I deem it due to myself to repeal what I have often stated
you before, that 1 have curried out this expeiiment only I
cause it lind been commenced, and the greater part of the
necessary expense incurred before I eu ered upon tlio du
of my office. When I arrived here, all tho timber for the
persiriictore was delivered; a large portion of il dressed,
the mineral salts,and ull tlie neccssury apparatus purchased
Moreover, so large u portion of the timber was of an
that there wus no choico left hut lo throw it away, or
Dr. Earl’* patent process for its preservation I sinee'rely
hope the experiment may succeed, and I have done all tlmt
lay in my power to have it faithfully tried; Inn I should not
huvefelt warranted in trying it oil such a large scale under
any other circumstances iliuu those ubnve mentioned. Should
it succeed, the entire credit is due to those wlu» projected it."
J The experiment line not only proved an entire failure, but
• it hus proved prejudicial. Rome further expenditures will I e
i necessary to renTuc.e the ilecnveil timhor »•• »■•*» '’*> •»••! *> «>f
J track now cmnph ted, uml in which no change of plan is con*
I templated. 'The nmotiiit of contracts already made, will he
i about $53,000, exclusive of tho cost of iron, ami the amount
of work which must vetbe lotto perfect Ihe plans designed
I will be about $30,000.
j 'The whole work will now be vigorou-lv pushed so as to
. have every thing in perfect order to the l )< pot two miles west
of the Etowah at an early period in 1845, to complete the
work to the Rome Branch hy the 1st of September next, nod
to finish as much of the road us the existing appropriations
• will complete, hy the end oflH45.
After the idea of putting a portion ofthe mail into operation
bgffore the junction was made with either ofthe private roads
was abandoned it was determined to allow the timber prepar
ed for Viiiing’rt Bridge to season thoroughly before putting
it *iqi. 'The Bridge is therefore not completed, hut will
be iti a very short time. In the month of October n
contract was made for two of Baldwin &. Whitney’s new im-
ptriwed engines of 12 ton* weight each. These engines have
j six wheels all connected, which has proved to be tho most
! valuable improvement ever yet made on the Locomotive;
• kav.iaig the effect tocheapen greatly the cost of transportation

with rendered,that tho actual expenditures on the work huve
j atiioxiited to $21,499,43—and the uinount of script redeemed
hoc Lien $19,000. Although .State bonds have been hypotheca
ted ifor the cost of the iron imported, no actual settlement has
btior made, and therefore this item does not appear in the ac-
