The Convention ia three weeks Jg tad affords plenty of time to hold meetings where have not been held. Every county should be ented. Let the response to this call be one and jie tame, from the seaboard to the mountains, from tho Sarannah to the Chattahoochee ; and let that response k, w mill all be represented ! EDITORIAL CHANGE. The Augusta Constitutionalist has changed kods. Mr. Guieu, so long its courteous and able cd- jier.has retired from its conduct, and James Gabdnkri Jr Esq., has assumed it. In parting with the former jeellemau, we do, with great pleasure, testify to his {Kthsiaiily depot talent towards those against whom he b*politically battled for many years. His parly, in king his services, may well regret it—whilst his op ponents will no less regret the retiracy of one from dig kid of politics, who, while contending with zeal fntiMcess, displayed every disposition to elevate the r daiMter of the public press. In Uia retiracy, th ereforc, veskh him health and prosperity. To his successor, Mr. Gardner, we present a “kind- |ygreeting.” Although wo cannot but anticipate in hima jealous and able, yet his dignified and well writ- I ten addreas to his subscribers, in his first paper, leads gthe conclusion, that we ajiall also have an honor able, opponent to contend with, “a gentleman and a neholir.” The Constitutionalist, in his hands, will, aodoabt, prove as formidable a foe, as it has been in the hands of its late Editor. But for all this, may every success, except that of his party and their practiced principle*, attend him in his present vocation. To el- Tevate the .eWei-Jo. of ihejpeps tn-Etqdy—wlial. Poet says, ia the proper etudy of mankind—man, and to elevate Ms character *—to advance tho sacred cause of Education, the Arts, and Scienceand to promote the interests of the flourishing city in which he is located ; are important fields in which the labors of a well di. (acted judgment, and a cultivated mind, can do incalcu lable good. Laurels earned in such efforts, are more to be coveted, than political, or party success, and howev er many of these may hereafter encircle Mr. Gardner’s | brow, none will rejoice more at it than our humble self. The Convention which assembled on yesterday, to I Dominate a candidate for Governor, in opposition to the present Executive, we presume, willmake every excr- I lion, botli as a body, and as individuals, to induce the ! people to look upon their deliberations, and final action, j with favor. What grounds they will assume to accom- pliih their object, remains to seen. If we anticipate a few of them, they, we hope, will not consider us as in truding upon their acknowledged privilege—for, cer- liinly they best know, and are entitled to the first pro clamation of their “reasons cogent,” for attempting to place attke helm of our ship of State, another, and an untried, pilot,. Buteven were they to consider us as an iutruder, we have nevertheless dutieB to discharge, whichmake it imperative that we should give utterance I to impressions forced upon us by what we have seen, and 1 what we have heard ; and if those impressions be er roneous ones, the convention itself, or its advocates of the press, after its adjournment, have it within their power to set us right. We shall, therefore, proceed to I unravel tho intricate ball which they have woundup io roll among, and distract, tho people, and, for this pur pose, Bek of our readers a patient hearing. The main issues which the Democratic Convention will present to the people of Georgia, cither as a body, or by iis individual members, on their return to their respective counties, will be "foreign to the times." They will nominate a candidate for Governor of Georgia, and "” 1 ,llc y wih ask tho people to yield to him their sup port, because a high protective tarilt’is unconstitutional. ttoPOMMftor if Georgia over «♦(*' to do with this question. VVIjy then should ills* made) a lest with either candidate ! Ami it is tho aame of all other issues upon which the Convention will advise the bailie to be made. VVlut has a Bank, or Bubtroaaury, nr Any other federal mea*. tiretudn with «■ Governor’s election? 'Nothingf In caso only of war, would wo connect an Executive with the Federal Government. He might, and would, be called upon, to co-operato with the Federal Executivo in important matters ; but all relative to defensive and offensive operations in tho State; and, in such an event or upon such an issue, tho Whig candidate will, lose nothing by comparison with any other candidate. All such issues arc therefore humbugs—foreign to the times —calculated to deceive—and will be orno avail to their party candidate. But, saya the Convention, there ia to be a United States Senator elected, and aurelv he will have some thing to do with Federal measures! Admitted. But who is to elect a United States Senator? Does the Governor ? No ! The Legislature ? Yes! Well, then, ascertain from candidates for tho Legislature whom thoy will vote for—and if this is to be made a test, vote oniyfor those candidates for tho Legislature who will go for your candidate. This ia the way to talk to the people upon this subject, for you do not deceive them by it. But when you tell them to vote against Governor Crawford, because a United States Sena tor ia to be elected by the Legislature, they will scarce ly understand you, and will certainly heed you not. Wc would advise the Convention locomeout with, and present the true issues to tho people. Wo have no doubt that they will nominate a gentleman of ability and high standing as their candidate, Aa such the Whig press will take pleasure in dealing with hie pretensions to the office ; but the people will demand other qualifi cations than those of opposition to measures with which Ihc Federal Government alone, has to do, They will de sire to know what his views are upon subjects of State policy—whether his policy, if elected, will be the same as that of tho present Executive—whether all the inter ests of the State will be aa vigilantly guarded—whetli er economy will mark his administration—whether lie will keep aloof from party politics while Governor— whether the public debt will be as efficiently attended to—whetherthe interest due bond holders will be as promptly paid—whether there will, or will not be, addi tional and burdensome, taxes levied upon the people— in short, whether, whatever concerns Georgia’s honor, and Georgia’s interests of every description, will bo best promoted by turning out one Governor, who has proved his devotion to them, and putting in another who to say the least is an untried man. Present your candidate, gentlemen of the Convention, with these issues so inscribed upon bis standard that all may underslai d his position in relation to them, and then there will be, we hope, "a clear field, and a fair fight.” Otherwise, the people, you will find, will be opposed to any change, and least of all a change to benefit party, at the expense of that same people’s dearest interests. sal oppressive to the South; because a distribution of Ike proceeds of Lise public lands, they object to;be- I uuse they are opposed to a Bank and in favor of the V “treasury; and because of other measures relating to the Federal Government, with which the Governor of Georgia, if he confine himself to his appropriate and “nrtitulioiial sphere of action, has nothing at all to do.

Indeed, if I am correctly in formed, threo simps (tho Harness, lailor and Shoe) were situated in the second Btory, and consequently fariher romoved from observation. The numeruiis op portunities furnished by this arrangement, to the dnr- iinraud reckless among 1I10 Convicts, to consult over ail'd mature plaiiB of annoyance and escape, were not suffered to pass unimproved by them—ns their success too frequently demonstrates, in defianco of tlie utmost vigilance of the Officers. To this facility of inter course may doubtless be attributed the conspiracy that resumed in the fire above alluded to, and tho des truction of that ill contrived mass which gave impuni ty to tho deed. Nor is il much to bo regretted, con sidering the advantages arising from it—that the olu buildings have been demolished. Industry and skill have reared on their ruins edifices, in which the mis chiefs of those consumed, have been corrected, and every improvement that foresight could suggest, has been attained. If the reader can have patience to fel low, I will conduct hia imagination within the premi ses, and endeavour to render intolligble to il, some of the more prominent features that demand attention, in this “mighty work-shop,”—at tho seme lime claiming Ilia indulgence, Btiould ignorance of mechanics render ambiguous any of my attempts at description. Having entered through tho great gale into the Pri son yard, our attention is attracted to tho main bund ing, raised nearly on the silo of tho old one, commenc ing near the centro of the yard, presenting a South front of about two hundred feet in length, from East to West. In the extreme West end of this compartment, is situated the eating Hall for the convictB—about fif ty feet in length, by twenty-seven in width. This room is separated from the workshops by a partition, in to which is inserted a wide, moveable, glass door, through which, as well as from other points, may be exposed to v* w whatever passes within. It is like wise used asfla Chapel, where divine service is regu larly performed, twice on every Sabbath. Nearly op posite, in the South Corner of the yard, is placed a spacious two story edifice, forty-eight feet long, by twenty eight wide. Tho upper Story is occupied aa an Hospital, with a convenient Kitchen, appropriated to that department. Tho Hospilal ia large, well ven tilated, and great attention is paid to preserve cleanli ness. Tbe lower story is divided into equal parts ; one of which is used as a kitchen, where tho working men’s food is prepared. Within this, is an extensive fireplace also a brick oven capacious enough to bake bread for an hundred and fifty men. The other compartments is fitted up with eight cells, built in tho most approved modern style, and is designed and Used as tbe female apartment, in which but two inmates are at pressont confined. The whole of this building, is well finished ; the doors and windows arc of handsome iron lattice work. It is abundantly supplied wijli wholesome water, by means of pipes, through wh'fch it is propelled by steam power, from a well sunk In one of the work shops. ' Entering the largo folding door, and principal en trance to tho work shops, fronting the East, tho visitek- finds himself in the midst of men industrously engag ed in their several vocations, in seeming conten- ment.

Having ascended this stand, an clevatjpf of BOine threo or four feet, and taken a seal along sidi the Captain, a single glance of tho eye satisfies beholder of the excellence of tlie arrangements, stand is placed in the centre of the main building, 1 handsome septangular edifice, three stories in height! surmounted by a neat octagonal cupola, to which i> affixed a lightning rod. No ffoors having been laid for 1 tlio upper stories, the appearance overhead is that of a lofty vaulted dome, with a winding slnircaso ascend ing to the Cupola, which is equally fitted fora clock, 1 Bell, or Sentry box.

It is the duty of all good citizens to contribute in some way or other to tho general welfare; and hninpr exceedingly desirous to merit that distinction, I offer in this paper, a few remarks to that portion of the com munity who are engaged as merchants, shop-keepers, laborers, &.c.as well as to thoso who arc obliged, more or less, to encourage these classes. I do this tho more really to subserve tho interest of Mr. Trusty, who seems to be honest and anxious to make Iris way thro* the world as becomes a man. He is undoubtedly not in tho right place at all times ; but if ho will attend to the suggestions following he will surely thrive hence- forward. They have been gathered casually, and are offered with the earnest hope they mny prove beneficial. It has long been a practice with some of the Dry goods men to vend articles inconsistent with their par - ticular branch of business* The Grocer in his turn has usurped the province of him of the yard-stick. The bookseller is an apothecary and Grocer too. The man who retails a‘Glass* will help you to a pound of raisins or stick of candy also. The Boot maker orders and keeps constantly on hand a general assortment of ready made boots and shoes. He of the Livery stable accom modates Boarders, and the poor Tinner is completely loan’d out’ by men who ostensibly deal in muslins and iawns, crapes and cloths. The Tailor is not precisely a stockjobber, but the Saddler is a Justice of the Penn and aLieutenant of Militia; and the Tanner works up h s own leather and turns a grist mill beside! Now all such promiscuous intermixture of the vital components ol the social compact, however meritorious for indi vidual enterprise, is deleter ious and lessening to the general weal. A city is said to be prospering when its population increases yearly and there appears a thriv- and hcahhful lone in its operations. It ments and facilities conse- lau^jiieh will always exist e willing to ndertaki ng. witness- run Lboi> proper believes he can s something t the particular eph] ut these desirable apiearan ' as longas Mr. Jack-of-all- o—to lay a brick here ai! j) on hand this or that a because it sells well or ^ _ is hand in a general specutiou. He will sure |y^^’°)ve the interests of t ,fd many and oftener than otpJrwise, make nolhjrtor himself. The case is easi ly |exemplilied. Qf individual combines in his busi es thediffor.yt branches of a dozen—he does some- • n .ifery thing; there is nothing wanted that he *.,6t or can furnish ; in fine, he represents ail trfdes and is a declared factor for every body. Well, juii in the ratio ol his multiplied occupations does lie (icrease tlie prosperous condition of the community in which he resides. lie may be industrious, honest, ca pable and worthy, but he certainly forestalls eleven oth ers who would he equally so, and who by a just division of labor and trade would add eleven more to the popu lation and partake of the means of an honorable sub sistence. Some may imagine that the practice here impugned, gives rise to that competition which is in fact tlie life of all business. The reverse however is the truth. It leads to imprudent trafficking and un wholesome underbidding—it scatters and endangers tho resources of the indtvidii I—it demolishes iho re gular and orderly system and prevents that varied but mutual dependence which should prevail in every socie- l y- To him who is thus niullifariously engaged nothing more than friendly expostulation should be made. He may bo mistaken honestly—he may have overrated his abilities and with him must rest that particular success J or failure which attaches to all individually. But it is quite a different matter with the great miss of fellow citizens—with those having a permanent abiding inter est in tlie prosperity of tlioir city.

From this central point a commanding view is had of every department, and branch of business ; anil every individual engaged is placed immediately under the observation of the Officer occupying tlie stand—* those only excepted who are employed in the Tan Yard, of necessity located in a different part of tin? yard. Immediately in front of the Assistant Keeper’s stand duo North, extending in length one hundred and sixty faur feet, by thirty wide, is placed the shop occupiei 1 by the Blacksmiths, the steam engine, and machinery to which it gives impulse. This important arm of the institution is worthy of critical examination—but as explanations in mechanics are tedious and not always intelligible, I shall avert the infliction from the patient reader, and confine my account to simple enumeration. At the extreme north end of this division, are situated the Smiths' forges—twelve in number—and the con tinual din of the sledge hammer, with the ringing of Anvils, audibly express the industrious habits of tho operatives. Next in view, is the Foundry for casting ; which is executed with considerable skill and success. Near the centre is placed the Steam Engine of eight horse power, which gives motion to a multitude of wheels of different diameters and construction—whoso rapid and varied evolutions please, while they bewil der the mind. Its resistless power is employed in throwing a com, or grist, mill—a Bark mill: a saw mill ; (upright,) a circular saw ; one Lathe for turn ing iron, and two for wood; one machine for cutting tenons; one for boring wood, and one to drill iron : two Grindstones; and one Emory wheel. It also works three Pumps, by which water from two wells, a considerable distance asunder, is distributed lo every part of the instilut'on where its use is required. Turning to the north west, the eye falis upon a se cond division of industry, comprising the Carriage, Wagon, Cabinet, and chair making departments. Its lengtii is one hundred and eighty feet, by twenty sev. en broad. To comprehend the variety of work done here, the enquirer must have occular demonstration—no description by word could convey an adequate idea. Farther to the left, one hundred feet in length, by twenty seven in width, stretches the Western ray of the star, occupied as a Shoe shop, Harness shop, and Cooperage. The same activity visible in the other branches, prevails here also. The shoe making busi ness, is extensively carried on. Shoes and Boots of excellent quality are turned out with remarkable cel erity. This branch of industry, and its affiliate, tlie Tan Yard, bid fair to yield a revenue commensurate with the expense and labor bestowed upon them. To the right of the stand, and not far removed from it, are seen the Trimming, Tailor, and Tin shops, in active operation, occupying the Eastern points of the Star. Further notice of these being unnecessary, I will now proceed to the Tan Yard—first adding what I had nearly forgotten, that the buildings above des. cribed are ail substantially built of brick; the work shops being only one story in height. For years past, the Eastern wall of tlie Penitentiary has been in a tottering condition-—latterly requiring to be kept from falling, by props. And as the enterpriz- mg Principal Keeper, Co!. Redding, determined on adding a Tan Yard to the institution, for which there was not sufficient space within the old walls, this part of it was taken down and extended so as to add a half acre lo the area of tho Prison Yard. On this acquisi tion, have been erected, a two story brick Tan house, forty seven by thirty one feet. A paint shop two sto. rios high and twenty eight feet square. A Bark house, twenty eight by eighteen feet, and a bark mill shed, thirty leet square. There have been sunk sixty four tanning vats, besides eight others for initiatory process. The whole is supplied with trunks, or aqueducts, rqn- ning under the vats,ami terminating in Letches, that are by pumps connected with Cisterns above ground, in which tlie tanning liquors nrc nnde, and returned again to the same, or distributed to other vats—tho old I quurs being always retained, My avowed purpose being only to describe tlio build ings erected since lhe conflagration, under the present administration of its affa.rs, I have omitted taking any notice of Die old mansion containing tbe cell*, or sleep ing places of the convicts. And as I feel ilprohablo, that if tho reader'o curiosity has not been ontisfled, his pa- Gence may be pretty well exhausted, by the prolixity of detail, I shall proceed to anothor division, of the sub* jeot — that of finance—which examination being coil. duct or pursuit of each man, is matter of great con cern. It serves to make up and support tlie cause of the eueral welfare. It tlio parts are not prosperous how il be the whole? Il one tradesman is encouraged to I in all kinds of articles, to sell by dry and liquid sure too, does it uotarguc a want of dealers or the tence of short sighted policy in buyers—men who lfish and regardless of all successor improvement at which is spent upon themsolvcs?

Moultrie, resigned. Tlio changes that have occurred in the administration ol this Institution for tho two last years, may have created im pressions unfavorable to its credit, but we are satisfied that any inference of a prejudicial character, based up on sucli changes would be unfounded. Tlio simple rea son why there have been three changes during the past year in the office of Cashier is, that the business of the Bank is so limited, that it will not justify a mm of bus iness capacity to give his exclusive time to the duties of the office, for the small salary that his services are actually worth. This we believe to bo the only reason why those appointments in this Bank have been so tem porary. A word more as to the credit of this Bank. We re- peat now from our own conviction, what we last week said upon the authority of the President. The Bank is abundant'y able to take up its present circulation, how ever worthless the stock maybe to its stockholders. The bad debts, which are extravagantly large, and which have been a subject of remark, worn contracted prior to tho removal of the Dink to this place : no bad debts, we learn have been made here. This was doubt less owing lo the limited business that it lias done for the two fast seasons. Respect ing the future policy of the Bank, we shall give our own views aa we have a right lo do.—Macon Messenger. Commercial Bank. — We are informed that thechor- ter of this institution has been sold by its late and orig inal owners to Messrs. B. II. Moultrie, Wm. B. John ston, and others* Wo are not advised that there has been yet any organization of the Bank, or who are lo compose its stockholders, direction, officers, &c. We presume that such a company will be formed, as will, from their individual means and credit be able to sus tain tho well established reputat ion of tlie Commercial Bank, which, during all the fluctuations with which our place lias been visited,.never has suspended specie pay- ments. Our city is very much in need of hanking cap ital, and we are glad to hear that this sound and unen cumbered institution is about lo be revived. Macon Messenger. Harvest in Virginia.

The Half Ounce Letter.—A writer in Ihe DoyleBtown Olivo liraucli has been at great pains lo ascertain how much can bo irausnnlK’d for five cents. An avoirdu pois half ounce is 2l8i{ grains. Wafers one grain.— Sealing wax, usual quami'y, five grains. A alieet of foolscap weighs 172 grains ; letter paper, 133. Small envelopes 42 grains—large 52.

Si.tt.ioEVF. — A writer in the Washington Uninn, says, it is understood to bo tlie design of the medical de- pari ment nl t lie army, to have this medicine tried on a large seal,', al one or two of the most unhealthy military posts on our south western frontier, with tlio view of determining its precise value. Salicene, as its name imports, is obtained ,‘iom the hark of ihe w 1 ow. It ,a prepared in Frnrice, and appears in the form of a clear white powder.

'.Vile Havana papers say that in their Mexican fll. they find nothing touching the difficulties about To as,—which certainly indicates a great moderating tlio current of Mexican wrath. A difficulty had occurred with the French Secretary of Legation and some Mexican Soldiers, in which the former considered himself and his nation grossly in sulted. Tlio Secretary had required of the Govern ment of Mexico prompt i edress for the insult, in the punishment of the Soldiers, or he would, immediately demand his passports. Charleston Mercury.
