The
Kless. Kenl, li ving A. Co,, and the interest
on the public debt has been discharged when
tver (Icataaded at the Treasury. At the
cinii.ciiicmeut of the present year an Ex-
ecutivc o iler was issued, permitting the
uavineat of interest six mouths in ndvanui
of’tlte time when due. As the funds wete
in the Treasury and incapable of being used,
it was dee tiled proper, as a convenience to
,| ie |)»hlic creditor, and that the order re-
tVrreil to might safely he executed without
iniurv t<> the Treasury. It was iutended to
u i,| |inhlic credit, and will Im (lerscvcrfd in
without legislative prohibition, or the Tree-
surv |>e incapable of anticipating and bear
ing it* burthens. Kindred to this scheme
is the sathoritv to invest trust funds in State
securities. Tho right should lie permissive
only, t""' whenever faithfully exercised, the
trustee should he fully protected. Such a
law would facilitate the administration of es
tates. uml invite, by reason of its security
the worthy to engage in their inaimgenieiit.
Indeed it would be an additional protection to
(’states—us the opinion is hu/.urded that it
die funds of estates bad liern invested in
State-securities, ami even at their nominal
ralueless loss would have occurred than will
probably happen under their present man
agement.
jVt your last assemblage the funds of the
Treasury consisted exclusively of the depre
ciated hills of the Central Bunk. Issued up
on and sustained by the credit of the Slate,
it was palpable tlmt if they were again put
into circulation that their depreciation would
lie progressive und lingering, uud in tho mean
time its sympathetic effect would be felt
throughout (lie entire fiscal operations of the
Slate. The large und immediate disburse
ments consequent on the udjour,uncut of the
Legislature threatened tho necessity of their
reissue, as the act which authorised the fund
ing of $ 150,000 at seven per centum, offered
in succor too lute for tire emergency uud too
disrelishing us to prufit. Under the act ol
1640 which authorised the issue of bonds j
bearing an interest of eight per centum per
annum, ull the Bunks with the exception
of three, ia Savannah and Augustu gave,
their kindly aid in restoring s|retie payments
«t the Treasury. 1'hey received the bonds
of the Central Hank in lieu of their own bills
which were then and huve continued at pur,
at a time when the marketable value of the
bills of the Central Bank were at a discount
of from two to four per centum, und whose .
full commercial value was not attained till’
the mouth of May of the last year. This j
serviceable! arrmigemeut was completed, nf- j
ter much delay ami apparent .reluctance on !
(lie pait of the Banks, only a few days be- j
fore the adjournment of the lust Legisla
te. The sequel has illustrated its antici-
I paled benefits. Specie payments were re
sumed and have been since maintained at
the Treasury—the currency lias become
sound—and State credit is advancing to its
proper and honorable position.
Tim bills of the State buuks which circu
late as money are considered as valuable us
cuiiu When the one beurs a close propor
tion tu die other, uo permanent injury can
befai tlw lull-holder. The relation between
the trunks and bill liokldcrs may lx; suid to
be almost universal. As it begun in con-
fideuee sn it should end iu punctuality. It is
tlw duly of the Legislature to supply any
defect iu the existiug laws on this subject,
to the end t hut this gcncrul relation be
tween hunks and hill holders may be main
tained without ham, to the latter.
The balance in the Treasury on the first
but., exclusive of the tuxes id' the present
year and the |K*i»r school lamil, amounts to
the sum of $91,616 38. This amount will
be diminished by payments of tlw lust quar
ter of (he civil establishment of the current
year, to teachers oT poor children for the
rears 1812 and 1843, and other charges, the
stitregate amount of which is estimated at
146,000. it may In; assumed as true that I
<i balance of $4>,0l)0, alter defraying all:
demands on the Treasury, will remain and I

accounts of some of the counties for ai ream- :

some of them wete so large in amount, that, I

tlm itinerant trader in contact with ull classes of our popula
tion. Whilst this mode ot irnffieutthe doors of our citizens
is considered convenient, social security is to be regarded as
a paramount duly. It is therefore submitted whether the
me nne to the State from this source of taxation should not
lie surrendered, and tho prieo of a Petller's license he fixed
by the Inferior Court of each comity, to whom it shall he
paid with the restriction tlmt each pcdlcr shall confine his

Counties ns he shall Imve previously I,ecu licensed to trnde

sent system, lthen lucommend tlmt the tax be mfreused, and
the perquisites arising therefrom paid into the Treasury.
I submit copies of a report made by It. It. .Cuvier, Esq.
of tlm management uml condition oi tlm Darien Bank. It
is to he regretted tlmt. that institution within it few years
past Inis heel, subjected to abuse and peculation. Before its
assets were turned over to the Central Bank, according to
tlm act ol 1841, its credit had been exposed to the wildest
and most unprofltnlile speculations. These were bused essen
tially on tlm credit of tlm State as she was the principal
stockholder. When the assets of tlm Bank were, in accor
dance with tlm provisions of tlm net just referred to, pluc.ed
under the control of tlm Centra! Bunk, one of its officers whs
charged mainly with the collection of its debts. Tlm repott
ot Mr. Cuyler represented this officer as in nrrearfor a large
amount, for tlm recovery of which suits ate now pending
against him und his securities in tlm Superior Court of Baltl
win county. Tlm liability of the State, as a storkhulilei,
I’m her proportion of tho outstanding circulation of tlm Bank
is unquestionable. The estimated amount of this liability
may not exceed sixty thousand dollars after the available as
sets of tlm Bank nre realised. Unless otherwise directed it
shall bo tlm policy of this Department to effect the collection
of tlm debts due tho Bank with convenient despatch.
As with tlm Darien Bank, nt,other commission, authorised
by a resolution of the last Legislature, has examined into the
condition of tlm Central Bank of Georgia. Tlm labors of
this latter commission have just ended. Originally it was
composed of Messrs. Hunter, Loyd und Beall, who entered
upon tlm duties of then appointment last spring, uud at that
time had completed their report with the exception of the
probable value of tlm assets of tlm Bank which were placed
in suit. Upon my suggestion they adjourned to meet again
nt such period when tlm ncccssttiy information for a fair esti
mate of tlm value of the claims in tlm hands of attornies
might he procured. In tlm mean time, one of the committee,
Mr. John F. Loyd, departed this life with the regret ol' all
who knew him personally or l,y reputation. It wus not deem
ed necessary to supply his place, ns his successor would have
been required only to express nn opinion upon a single sub
ject, and that too only upon documentary evidence, which, to
gether with tlm repott is at the command of tlm Legislature.
The committee report that on tlm 13tl, day of October of
the present year tlm unredeemed circulation oftlic Bank was
$07,750—its estimated resources $470,385 71—and liabili
ties $840,009 04. The estimated loss may therefore be
placed nt the sum of $364,223 93. This amount may Im
decreased by a loss of tlm bills which will never be presented
for redemption, l’rulmhiy the sum of foity or fifty thousand
dollars may Im placed to the credit of tlm Bank from this
source.
With the exception of t, President and Cashier, nil other
officers of the Bank were discharged as early as the begin
ning of tlm present year. No reduction was required on tlm
salat ies of the retained officers, ns heavy duties were imposed
upon them. Tlm policy of winding up the Bank is regarded as
necessary and sound. The institution was originally defec- j
tivc iu its organization, by requiring loans, almost comptil-1
sory, over an area of sixty thousand square miles by n di
rection numerically small und always residing at the centre. J
The scheme was fall of difficulty and peril, yet with the enrlv
restriction imposed on the line of discounts which made tlm .
institution only it loan office of present capital, oulv u few uud
uuuvoidnhlc losses were sustained When, however, the
character of tlm Bank was essentially changed, and the tin-
ked credit of tho State was substituted on the alleged ground
of rcleiviiig individual necessities, the number of applica
tions for loans was multiplied and tlm chances of loss pro
portionally increased.
Thus the credit of the State was abused by inviting tlm j
people to lean on the government, when, rightfully, govern
ment should he supported by the people.
Tlm profits ami liabilities of the Bank belong exclusively
to tho State. Numerous pledges have Imen given by success
ive Legislatures tlmt the State was responsible for every li
ability created hv the Bank It is presumed tlmt such is
now ,lie ununininus opinion nfhnih brunches of the present
General Assembly. Therefore in prospect of reducing
these liabilities, consisting iu bonds hearing un interest of
|!ii* specie* of properly has been enhanced in value, by rea
rn of the location of m town, or city, and ila improve,tienla,
hat a portion of the proceeds of tho sole he given to the
orporate authorities of such town, o, city, when a sale tabes
lace. I recommend that only n moiety of such snle be re
fined by the State.
The disorganized condition of the militia, in some Section
j f the Statn, is u subject of regret. The reports of the I »i
vision Inspectors will show the feebleness nnd inefficiency ol
tho military system of the State. It requires amendment
\sido from the volunteer companies and u few exceptions,this
I'art of the public duty of the citizen is performed reluctant
| v, or not performed nt all. Tlm coercive power of law is
i ((presented ns having lost its energy. In all such cases new
Modes of enforcement should lie adopted. Officers intent
ppm, their duty should ho armed with the necessary authori
ty to execute their commissions, nnd their sentence, legally
pronounced, have the lone nnd effect, of a judicial judgment
j Inch nil amendment of the military law of the State, it is
thought, would remove tho difficulty which usually attends
lines and penalties when imposed by fonrts-Martiul.
Thu claim-* on tlm United States fur payments made by
plain*, the had faith of the conlj-ector* ft ml the iluross in
which the State was placed. The excess of price es charg- -
ed by them above the cu*totnaiy rates when the contraci
was made, created a balance exceeding the appropriation, of
f 14,090. No alternative was left except to suspend the work
or take the iron according to the terms demanded. If time
htid been allowed, und railing had been sought elsewhere, the
Stale would have been compelled to have paid at least
twenty-five dollars more on the Ion. It was a clear case of
necessity, dictated by the iron mongers, in consequence of the
accidental fluctuation of the murket. It was deemed tho
aiost economical plan to take the iron nfter obtaining pecu
niary ooncessions made hv all the parties, innocently or
wickedly engaged in this fraudulent transaction. I author
ized the t’lfief Engineer to hypothecate a part oftlic Bonds
ns security for t, loan at seven per cent., as being in my judg
ment the most economical mode of using the appropriation.
Bat one other plan was left, which was the sale of the Bonds
at a discount of six per cent.
As all the Bonds, amounting to the sum of $270,000, under
tlm appropriation for the Bail Bond, were issued during the
nst year and used in small amounts according to the ncccs

Drifting a greater variety than ever be*

or General, and might lead to a union of his office with tlmt
of the Secretary of Stale, who might readily perform the du
ties of both.
The State by sales of lurge portions of her territory, em
bracing entire districts of counties und fractions, gave,
through her agents appointed for tlm purpose, certificates of
purchase. It is thought that tho purchasers Imve acquired
possession, in many instances, without having perfected tlmir
titles, though grants were required to perfect them. I
submit to thu Legislature the propriety of passing some law,
by which the terms of such sales may be consummated.—
Failing to adopt some measure of this kind, I cannot per
ceive by what equitable right the State can return the grant
fees in the cases of those who have paid for their purchases.
It can Imno infringement of the contract tlmt ull tlm parties
bo tequired to perform tlmir respective parts ;—failure on ci
ther side should he visited by the penuliy of forfeiture uftci
reasonable notice.
It is thought tlmt largo quantities of land arc uugrnntcd in
tho Stuto which Intvo never been surveyed, or if surveyed
Imvonover been legally disposed of. It is therefore recom
mended that authority be given for their sale under such
terms as it shall he the will of tlm Legislature to prescribe.
The State owns u valuable freehold interest in tho com
mons of certain towns nnd cities. She has no motivo to re
tain, hilt every inducement tu sell it. It is equitable, as
which were in some respects limited to Executive discretion,
were published iu several Gazettes of the State, und intended
to secure equal piivilegcs to the two branch Rail Roads con
necting with tlm State-road. It is the part of honorable du
ty, if at any petiod the State should sell this road, tlmt these
Itrunch roads should he placed on u basis of perfect equality.
But whether sold or retained, hastened or delayed iu its pro
gress. it should be regarded as the fixed policy of the Statu that
its ultimate completion must he effected between tlie termini
originally designated. The necessity and wisdom oft his work,
notwithstanding the wasteful outlnys of money ij|m>ii it, will
be illustrated—and arc now in process of being illustrated—
by alleviating distress wbicli may arise from uuturul or ur-
lilicml cutises, and developing new sources of wealth, which,
iu its expansion, will mitigate taxation.
The Report of the Chief Engineer is herewith submitted,
which shows that fifty-two miles of tlm torn! are now in suc
cessful operation, Und tlmt the income from it for the first
month, und at a distance of twenty miles only, has been
*1 ,200. Other and important facts ure stated in the refiurt,
which will doubtless commend themselves to your Considera
tion.

The Arsenal on the Capitol Square is not well adapted to!

some spot near the Penitentiary, rebuilt on an economi

A number of resolutions from different Stales oftlic Union
