" It thus appoars ’hat tho oonntry has added to
Its motallio currency In one your and three quar
ters, over $52,00 >,000; an amount greater than
the average stock of coin previously held by all the
Bunks in tho Union. This statement does not in
elnde the rocoipts at Now Orlonns and other
points, which would considerably Increase the
amount.
“ It is remarkable that In no single month of tho
current your, have our exports of coin boon equal
to tho reculpts at tho Mint.
‘•Now iu agold producing country, the export
of gold Uo partofitß legitimate trado—as much
ao as of cotton ; and tho fact of such export can
not correctly bo assumed a> proof that tho balonou
of trade is against such a oonntry, until its uports
o/enn lU* printout -in other words, until it
Is actually diminishing its regular currency in pay
uiout of its debts. Such has been the oase with
Engl and for many mouths past. Her total atook
of coin has linen undergoing a constant reduction,
showing that the balance oi'trado is temporarily
again-t her, -at least apparently so—sinoo she has
not realised tho proceeds of distant shipments.
Not so is it wl‘h tho United States. Ourstookof
ooin ns demonstrated above, has been stoadily ao
onmulatlng. Wo have not been obliged to export
gold to the extent of our receipts. The Inference
is, that the balance of oar trade cannot be much,
it any, against the eountfy; and tills loforonce is
supposed by tho official tables of our commerce,
so lar as published. The-o indicate that ttio bal
ance of mir whole trudo for the last six years is
nearly oven.
‘•As to tho dobt of the oonntry in Kail road bonds,
in tho first place; most of the bonds will not ma
ture In less ton to twenty years, and our our
ront indebtedness is only for the interest. And
iu tiny aggregate, the Knilrouda of the United
States nro earning not only tho intoreat on their
bonds, but also are paying good avorngo dividends
on their stock. But that is not all. The railroads
are adding to the annuil piodncta of the whole
country au amount of exportable valuee far ex
ceeding the wholo interest on their bonds held
abroad. The idea that good dividend-paying
bonds are going to bo sent homo and forced off on
this market, is but tho conjuration ot an unreason
able losr. it Ins not been dene, and will not be.
Tie more disturbed the pence of Europe shall be,
the more va uab.o will bo our securities to her
capitalists -.—and if peace eontiuuos they will cer
tainly keep them. The only danger is, that they
will iiuy them too freely.
“The result of any genera! survey of financial
affairs thou is, that tho country abounds with all
tho elements of prosperity.
“Tits severity of the present pressure has arisen
from the habit of tho Bunks of keeping far too
low a sti ck of specie. This levs been their own
mismanagement Induced by a desire for excessive
profits. And it is unfair, oy suddon and violent
cluing" iu their course, Vo visit upon the public
the effects of their own niisoonduct. It is surely
high time that the urgency of the pressure should
be abated, and that tho 'acquisition ot a greater
amount of specie should bo made, as it can be,
w.tliout further harsh and damaging measures.
The *• National Democrat” has a warning tor
anoh journals as Ihv Richmond Enquirer, who
think they can nfford just now, a&foly to fraternise
with thoFrcosoiicrs of the North, and to counten
ance a Froosoil President and Cabinet. Says the
Editor: —
«Jf the Richmond Enquirer can afford to as
aurne the responsibility of such conduct, we cer
tainly have no concern in the matter. We expect
that the world will last after this year—and if
southern politicians chooso to coalesce with north
ern abolitionists and freosoilers, the responsibility
of ttieir acts must rest upon themselves when the
day of trial for the South comes, as it certainly will
come if uationai principles and nitiounl men are
to be destroyed for the sake of elevating to power
the Van Burens, and the supporters of the Van
Bantus.”
or tub Cotton Market.—Hunt's Mer
chants Magazine, in an extended article on Cotton
has tlie following upon the Market prospects for
the onsuinsr year:
Tlie market prospects lor the coming crop we
conceive to ba of a favorable character, tor the
consumption is likely to ba adequate to the ab
sorption of any probable extent of production.
Tin- would seem to be ovident liom the course
of the past two years; for within that period we
have soon two successive crops—the last the
largest ever produced, and the combined exceed
ing any two previous crops by the important
amount of nearly a million and a quarter of bales,
(the crops of 1831 aud 1852 together amount to
about 6,340,000 bales) we have seen those two
large crops more readily disposed of than any
previous ones, and at prices which not only pre
sent a satisfactory average throughout but which
show a gradual though steady improvement (with
some fluctuations, from collateral causes) until
the closing rales for the crop of 1553, are nearly
fifty per cent higher than the opening ones for
thatol ISSI. We have already shown that the
ratio of consumption, iu Great Britain for the first
six months of the current year, has exceeded
somewhat tlie ratio ot 1852: and should tha politi
cal questions wi ich now agitate Europe be amica
bly arranged, aud the world remain at peace, such
is'the general proeperitv of the great consuming
countries, that a very ample crop ia likely to
meet a ready market, at satistactory price*. At
the same time tbe increased facilities for its dis
posal, to which wo have made reference in our
opening remarks, s'l of which will enure to the
advantages of t he planter.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Mlu-KDomLLE, Thursday , Not. 10.
Cp to this time but little of imp-r.snce has been
! done in either brunch of the General Assembly.
It ihe House ol Representatives, iMe morning,
; two bids were offered by Mr. McD mgsld, of Mue
ooge*, altering and ameuding the Constitution,
i so a- t- give the eieetirm of State House officers
and Soliir Ur’s General to the peop.e. The bflj
in regent to the former, read* thus : To alter and
a uend the 12ti> article of tha second section of the
Constitution, by striking out “a, pointed in tha
same manner and at tho same session ot the Legis
lature,” and inserting in lieu tlusreof, the words
”shall he elected by persona entitled to vote for
Gove*..or, at such time and in such manner as the
Legislature may by law direct.” The bill in re
gard to the latter read* thua: “To alter and
amend tho third section of the third article of tha
C juatitu i-D, by striking out the words * appoint
ed by lb-: Legislature,’ and inserting in Hen ti ere
ol the word.* ‘ elected by persons entitled to vote
fit luwnbers of the Legislature, at such time and
ill * rob manner as the Legislature shall bylaw
oiivet.”’ Both of these subjects are matters of
considerable interest aiid importance, and will re
ceive due attention from onrlaw-givera.
Another bill of eonsidersble importance inlro
d-ced ioto the House to day, was that proposing
<n abolish impri-onment for debt, in this State.
Such « bill was. I believe, offered daring the last
see-ion of the Legislature, but was not paaeed.
Several resolutions in relation to the elections of
State House offioers—two Judges of the Supreme
Court, a Solicitor General for the Coweta Circuit, s
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of the city
of Savannah, and a Director of the Bank of the
State of Georgia—have been before the House, but
no definite day has been fixed upon for these
elections. It is, doubtless, thought better to post
pone them s little longer, until the “ re-organised”
s)« through the mist and smoke that at present
envelope the arena of strife. Probably they
might embarrass the Senatorial election, it pressed
before ail tbe wires are thoroughly adjusted, and
tho dramatis psrsonae assigned their proper posi
tions. No other business, with the exception of a
few local bills, was transacted in the Hours this
morning.
The Senate held a shorter session than tha
House this morning. After tbe preliminary pro
ceedings, William H. Wilder, Esq., who was
elected on Monday last, Senator from Taliaferro
county, to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Bird’s
daath, presented his credentials, was duly quali
fied, and took his seat.
Mr. Miller, of Augusta, offered a bill amending
tha Constitution, to fix by law the compensation
of Members of the Legislature, and, that after a
session of fifty days, this compensation shall be
reduced one-balf.
The Act to give to the Governor the appoint
ment of the Superintendent of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad, was read a second time and re
ferred to the Committee on Internal Improve
ments. This subject will, at the proper time,
when the bill is more thoroughly discussed, re
ceive due attention.
The act to abolish the right of survivorship and
joint tenancy, in regard to personal as well as resl
estate, was read a second time.
Mr. btoval, of Columbia, introduced a bill to
impose a penalty on Road Commissioners who do
not serve, and to prevent their appoinmeut to a
second term.
This comprises all the important business before
tbe Senate this morning.
A Democratic meeting is to be held to-night for
the purpose of making Borne preliminary arrange
ments in regard to a caucus and the position in
which manors now stand. It is important to know
where each man is—bis preferences and their
strength. Five candidates for the Senate may now
he said to be in the Sold ; Gov. Cobb, Gov. McDon
ald, Judge lversou, Judge Colquittand Mr. Chap
pell. It is not known vet how their relative stock isi
though it is confidently bolieved by all the
Union Cobb Democrats that ’ e can outrun al
tho fire-eaters ou tho turf put together. Ij'
the majority rule be adopted, 'this may turn out
to be true. If wo consider too, that some of those
elected in opposition to the re-organised—as for
instance the Senators from Madison and Pulaski
counties, are now aoting with their enemies—it
strengthens the belief that Mr. Cobb’s stock is
vary nearly at par, and that a littlo more drilling
is all that is necessary to make it worth a premi
um. Tho history of the prescut Senatorial elec
tion will be a rich ono, especially if Mr. Cobb gets
“on top of tho ttro-eaters,” as Mr. Thomas, of El
bert., predicted he would.
The Inauguration Ball last night was largely at
tended, indeed the crowd was so dense and the
room so small, that many were compelled to leave,
in order to get clear of being jammed up during
every dauoo. The ussemblago of ladies from a
distanco was considerable. The Governor elect
was present on tho occasion, but did not dance.
Tho Cadets of the Military Institute at Muriotta j
are at present encamping in Milledgoville. A Re
view took plaoo to-day, which attracted an immense
crowd of ladies and gentlemen to the Common at
the Railroad depot. The appearance of the young
gontlemeu was very fine, their general training
good; and many of their exercises performed with
a dcgi jo of accuracy, rapidity and skill, not at all
behind those of the Cadets at West Point. Our
State Institute should be sustained, as it will prove
of immenso advantage to tho rising generation and
to the future fortunes of Ooorgia. A Civio and
Military Ball is given to night in henor of those
young gentlomen.
The immense crowd which has been in Milledge
villo over since Saturday last lias partially disap
peared, hut thoro are still enough to make it diffi
cult to obtain good accommodations.
Milledobville, Fbidav, Nov. 11. r
Tho grand naoliems of Democracy held their c
“ pow-wow ” last evening in the Ohambor of the i
Senate, and rumor says that there wore u number {
of absentees, and that everything was not qnite as i
harmonious as was expected. It Is understood
that a caucus will be bold shortly to make tho nom- i
(nations for the Souatorship, and tbo Judges of tho t
Supremo Bench ; and that in the canons the tioo- i
thirds ruU will be applied until the number of ■
candidates is reduced to two, when a majority
will prevail. There is uotbiug dangerous about
this modification,as it can easily be evaded. To- 1
wards whom this rulo will bo favorable, is not vory i
evident yet. as each candidate claims its advantage •
for himself; I think, however, it certainly does
not help Mr. Cobb to havo suoh a fight to make, (
and so much to overcome, and that it is not at al 1 i
uncertain but that both ho and Gov. McDonald
will be defeated by its operation. Sharp political
management is going on, and it is very bard to say <
whieh is making greatest headway. Tho longer
they postpone tho final result, the more critical it <
will become to the majority of them. These im
portant elections will take placo sometime next
week.
A ra'her significant incident is said to have
occurred on the Inauguration of the new Governor.
After the delivery of bis address, ho proceeded to 1
tako the oath prescribed by the Constitution of
Goorgls, bnt he neglected to take tho oath to sup
port the Constitution of the United States, as pre
scribed by act of Congress. The same omission is
said to have taken place at the Inauguration of
Gov. Gilmor. He, however, rectified it by taking
the proscribed oath to support the Constitution of
the United Ststes before a Magistrate, and aftar
wards communicating the fact to tho General As
sembly. it is very likely that it was a purely
unintentional omission of Governor Johnson, on
tho preseut occasion, and that the speedy manner
n whieh heolimbenp to the Georgia Platform is
suffioiently convincing evidence that he will stand
by the Constitution and the Union.
The business transacted in the House of Repre
sentatives this morning was simply the discussion
of resolutions in regard to the elections of officers
of tho State House, Judgeß of the Supreme Bench,
and Superintendent of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, but no definite day was determined on
for them, after whioh tho General Assembly in
Convention elected a Jndgc for the Court of Com
mon Plea'S BU d Oyer and Termiucr for the city of
Savannah, a Solicitor General for the Coweta cir
cuit and a Director for the State Bank. The result
of these elections were as follows:

Mr. Bleokley was declared duly elected.
On the Ist ballot, Gen. Wm. P. Brantley, of Sa
vannah, was elected Director of the State Bank by
a majority of seven, after which the House was
adjourned.
In the election of a Judge of the City Court of
Savannah, the outside influence was immense for
the suocceseful candidate. He belongs to a family
strong in numbers, and they have all pretty
much assembled here, and are exercising very
great, if not controlling power. Probably this
may be e test of their strength generally, when
ever they may choose to operate.
Tha President of the Senate this morning an

Prior to flog j u to th* election* recorded above,
Mr. Danagan, of Hull, introdneed aMB to chauge
the lines of certain counties surrounding the
county of Hell. Mr. Miller, of Augnela, stated to
tbe Senate that there was e rale prohibiting
the introduction of bills for each a purpose, unless
they were accompeni d by a petition from the
parties interested.
Mr. Donegan thought it lingular that hi* bill
should be singled oat fore sacrifice whilst e half
doaen others were permitted to be introdneed
witboat the whisper of opposition or objection.
Mr. Hubbard, of Polk, ietrodaeed e bill to cre
ate a new county from the countie* of Carroll,
Campbell, Paulding and Polk.
Mr. White, of Elbert, a bill to create* a new

Mr. Miller, of Anguste, presented a Resolution
proposing to refer the documents accompanying
Governor Cobb’s biennial Message to a select com
mittee of five, that they may determine which
should be printed for the use of the Senate—^which
was adopted.
After the Senate had returned from the House,
e Resolution was adopted referring all new Connty
Bills to a Committee of flva—upon their aeoond
reading—of which committee Mr. Moore, of Lin
coln, was appointed Chairman. The Senate then
adjourned. Geobsia.
Millkdokvill*, Batcsbat, Not. I*.
I have already sent you a copy of the Standing
Committees of the Senate. I now enclose yon
those of tbe House of Reprsentativee. There is
some considerable difference in the manner in
which they have been constructed. The presiding
officer whs, by the way, is but a third rate indi
vidual in point of capacity, has suffered his politi
cal prejudices to carry him away from his higher
duty to his country. He ha* appointed, for in
stance, “ Sturgis,” Chairman of the Judiciary ;
and did not even pat your distinguished Senator,
Mr. Miller, upon it—the man of the first ability in
tbe Senate. It, however, became so apparent to
that body that their presiding officer had made an
egregious blander, they unanimously moved that
Mr. Miller should be added to it. Tbe Chairman
of each Committee, is one of tne “ re-organised,”
and generally of the “ soft ” section of the party
Mr. Speaker Ward has, however, been actuated
by higher motives than mere party bias, in his
arrangement of Committees, and has so selected
the various members as to give complete satisfac
tion and to initure the greatest benefit to the State.
For instance he has appointed your able Uepreaen
sentative, Mr. Walker, Chairman of the most im
portant Committee of the House, at the present
time, that of 11 Internal Improvements,” and Mr*
J.T. Irwin, of Wilkes, Chairman of the Commit
tee on “ Banks.” Tbe appointment of each effi
cient gentlemen, ie a guran tee that the interests
committed to them will be faithfully attended to.
The election of a Senator and two Judgea is
still involved in groat doabt. The Democratic
party have adopted the two-thirds rale for the
government of the caucus, but it is very question
able whether they can succeed upon it. Mr. Cobb
oertaiuiy cannot command two-thirds of his party,
it he can, even a majority. The Fire-eating seo
tion are still exceedingly bitter against him snd
say that the old accounts must be settled between
them, before they can go on harmoniously. It is
a melancholy spectacle to see men who have Mood
up in their day to a great principle, and at a critical
period too of the history of the country—now hnmi
iating themselves before an enemy for tho sake of
a little plunder, 00-operating aud associating with
those who have not tho first principle or sympathy
In oommon with them. In regard to the Judgeship,
1 do not think Nisbet has uny possible ohance of
being retained. There are not more than half a
dozen Democrats who would be willing to stand by
tho original agreement, and they will be foroed in
to measures before the final result takes place.
The democrats seem determined to pat Col. Ben
ning on the Bonch, and there is an immense out

Tho most important bill introduced into the
Senate to-day was one to chauge Ist eootion of the
3d article of the Constitution, so as to give the
election of Judges of the Supreme Court of this
Stale to the people. This is a subject of vast im
portance and should not be determined without
ample consideration. It is, however, beooming a
popular measure, as overy body ooncedes that the
Legislature is the worst place in which such elec
tions oould occur.
Mr. Clark, of Baker, introduced a bill to dis
pense with the administration of the property of
minors in certain cases, so as to make the guardian
administrator, by virtue of his office.
Mr. Dunagan, of Ilall, presented a memorial on
Education, which was referred ; also, a memorial
of Johu J. Flournoy, of Jackson county, on Poly
gamy, which on motion, was not read, but laid on
the table the balance of the session. This was a
proper disposition of a document unfit to be heard
by an assembly of gentlemen.
Resolutions were adopted bringing on the elec
tion of State House officers on Tuesday next, of
J udges of tho Supreme Court on Wednesday, and
of a United States Senator on Friday the 18th inst.
There is somo probability thAt the latter will be
reconsidered on Monday, and postponed to a later
day, as it is hardly probable that the Caucus whieh
meets on Wednesday next can make a nomination
on that or the following night; whiob, if they do
net, would produce considerable confusion*
The business of the Qonse of Representatives
was the consideration of the resolutions referring

Th* graceful dignity and attractive suavity of

Scarcely were we rooted in one of the hotels of

ours are oondneted upon the plan of Turkish cars

you can.” As to other considerate ns, yon are free

Honolulu, September Ist, 1858.
May it Please Your Majesty :
We, the representatives of Great Britain and
France, beg leave respectfally to intimate to your
Majesty, that we are fully informed of the extraor
dinary course adopted by some American mer
chants, landed proprietors and other citizens of the
United States connected with the Protestant mis*
sionaries, residing in Woahoo, with a view to in
duce your Majesty to alienate your Sovereignty
and the independence of these islands, by imme
diate negotiation for annexation to the U. 8.; and
that we are aware, also, of the countenance and
support that a memorial which those gentlemen
have addressed to yon, to the aforesaid effect, has
reoeived from high official functionaries, at Hono
lulu, all ot which proceedings have given rise to
considerable excitement among Frcnoh and British
residents.
Under these circumstances we consider it our
duty to remind you that Great Britain and Franoe
have entered into solemn treaties with the Sand
wich Islands, by whioh treaties, your Majesty,
yonr heirs and successors, are bound to extend,
at all times, to French and British subjects the
same advantages and priviledges as may be grant
ed to subjects or citizens of the moßt favored na
tion; and that the joint declaration of England
and Franoe, on the 28th of November, 1848, was
founded upon the clear undemanding that your
Majesty was to preserve your kingdom as an in
dependent state.
Therefore, we deolare, in the name of our Go
vernments, that any attempt Sandwich
Islands to any foreign power whatever, wonld bo
in contravention of existing treaties, and oould not
be looked upon with inditferenoe by either the
British er the French Government.
We beg further to obeerve that, in accordance
with the Hewahiian constitution your Majesty
oould only alienate your sovereignty and islands
under certain circumstances —which circumstances
have not ooourred—and that no monarch what
ever, aooording to Vattei and other writers on in
ternational law, has a right to alienate his king
dom, or to enter into a negotiation with that view,
without the concurrence of his people.
We therefore, oonsider that tbe time has ar
rived for us to remonstrate, and we do hereby re
monstrate against your Majesty becoming a party
to the scheme recently got np, or to any other pro
ject which existing treaties and the Hawaiian con
stitution do not sanction.

the last of this month, that I should pass to you,
officially, the Polynesian No. 17 of this day, con
taining the joint address to his Majesty of that
day by the Representatives of Great Britain and

that you and tbe United States Consuls under you
have ever taken a deep and active internet in the
independent sovereignty of tbe King, acting fully
and faithfully up to the principle deolared by Mr.
Clayton, on the sth Jnly, 1858, to Wm. C. Hives,

and to those declared by the late Mr. Webster to

To Luther Severance, Esc,.,
U. 8. Commissioner, Ac., Ac., Ac.

No. 47. Honolulu, Sept. 8,1858. )
Sib: —l have the honor ot reoeiving yonr com
munication of this morning, in which you say it
was resolved by the King in Council on the first
day of the month, that you ehonld pass to me offi
cially, a copy of the joint address to his Majesty by
the Representatives of Great Britain and France,
made on that day, which you have dona by en
closing a copy No. 17 of the Polynesian, published
this morning.
My thanks are due to the King and Council for
taking immediate measures to apprise me officially
of the exact oontents of the address, which I per
ceive remonstrates against the “extraordinary
course adopted by some American merchants, land
ed proprietors and other citizens of the United
States, to induce the King to alienate hia sove
reignty and the independence of the islands by
immediate negotiation for annexation to the Uni
ted States.
You are aware that the government of the Uni
ted States has never made any propositions to his
Majesty’s government to annex the islands, though
the matter has undoubtedly engaged the attention
both of eitiaens of the United Btatea and of sub
jects of tbe Klrg. Te me it is not surprising that
the “merchants and landed proprietors,” whether
Americans or ethers should perceive great com
mercial advantages in aoeh a connection, consider -
iw that the principal part ot the commerce of the
islands is with the United States, and that tbe
islands must look almost exclusively to the Pa
cific ooeet of the United States, for a market for
their products and the means of paying for their
fceavy imports. I perceive, thereto* nothing
V 1 >1 -dmary in the project nmoostraud
against. Aid if now or at any foturs time It shall
be found to be decidedly for the intereet of both
countries to unit* their sovereignties, I am unable
topeierive any treaty or moral obligation? on the
part of either, to forbid the desired union, or
any goad reason for foreign interference to pre
vent it.
French and English subjects might still be an
titied to the privileges of “the moat favored na
tion,” and on th* score of commercial advantages
cannot well oomplaiu ot being subjected in these
islands to the ravenua law* of a onuulry which con
sumes and pat* for French manufacture- and
other products to U.e amount of forty m.i”onr ol
dollars annually, and of British goods to tha
amount of on* hundred millions annually—the
revenue laws ol a country raptdly growing, and
whoso trade is now of more value to Great Britain
and Franoe than that of any of their colonies, if
not indeed ot all of them added together, vest as
the English colonies are.
In view of these great interests which would be
sacrificed by adattnr anew of pacific relations, (to
say nothing of several hundred millions of Ame
rican stocks held in Europe, whose value might for
the time be seriously affected,) it is not to be sop
posed that France will insist on the little advan
tage of importing into these islands silks, wines,
Ac., to th* amount of a tew thousand dollars at
five per cent duty, as she now does by her con
struction of the treaty ol 86th March, 1848, a treaty
which instead of being a valid reason why the
King sheuld not transfer his sovereignty, ia a
standing and powerful argument to justify him in
doing so, since that treaty denies to him one of the
most important attributes of sovereignty—one in
the highest degree essential to all independent
Still leas is it to be supposed that Great Britain
will claim the privelegea of the “most favored na
tion” under this French treaty, ainee she has gene
ronsly thrown up her own treaty as the same date
and tenure, and substituted tnat of 10th July,
1851, in accordance with the American treaty of
Washington ot 20tb Dec. 1848.
The right to cede or acquire territory, or to unite
two independent nations by compact, is regarded
as inherent in ait independent sovereignties. It
has certainly been practised from time immemo
rial. The power which can cede a pert can cede
ail the pert*. Modern history abounds in exam
ples, and none more than English and French his
tory. Annexation is neither a new thing, nor rare
in our day, as the Turks and Arabs of Algeria, tha
Caffres ot South Africa, and more than ono hun
dred and thirty millions of people in India oan
testify—people it is hoped who may be benefitted
by the change, but whether so or not, I cannot
admit that annexation by voluntary oonsent is any
more illegal or reprehensible tbau annexation by
oonquest. But whether it be done by one prooeaa
or the other, the government of the U cited States
can have no colonies. W hate ver territory ia added
is but an integral part of the whole, and subject to
the same national constitution aud taws.
The expediency of union with the United States
I do not propose to consider at present, for I have
n» authority to say that the United States will con
sent to any terms that may be offered : yet 1 have
no doabt if they eball be offered they will be frank
ly received and duly considered; but no sinis
ter means of accomplishing the object, however
deeirable, will receive any tavor from the United
States.
I am most happy to have your testimony that
the commissioner and consuls of the United States
have acted fully and faithfully up to the princi
ples declared by Mr. Clayton and Mr. Webster lu
the communications referred to by you, and I am
not permitted to doubt that you will have as little
reason, hereafter, as you have now to distrust the
friendly intentions of the government and people
of the United States.
My regard for the King aud his government,
end for the highly respectable representatives of
England and Franoe m these islands who have
deemed it their duty to interpose an offloial remon
strance, demand the utmost frankness in the ex
pression of the sentiments I entertain, which I am
snre they will duly appreciate.
The agreement, or joint declaration of the 98th
November, 1648, that neither Great Britain nor
France would take poseeeaion of theee Islands aa a
protectorate or otherwise, was oreditable to those
powers. The government ofthe United States was
not a party to the engagement; neither was Ka
mehamehu 111., so far as appears. The parties to
it, by their naval foroee, had both made hostile de
monstrations npon the King’s sovereignty. Tha
United Btates had not, but both before and since,
though their interests were far greater here than
those of any, or all other foreign powers, they have
constantly respected the government of the King.
They have never sought to limit the right of his
government to frame its own system of finanoe,
enact its own revenue laws, regulate its own sys
tem of publie education, establish its own judicial
policy, or demanded any special favors, and they
were the first to recognize the complete and un
qualified national independence of the Kingdom,
by the treaty of 20th Deo. 1848.
That treaty having been faithfully observed,
there is nothing in the policy of the United Btates
toward these islands whtoh requires concealment,
or demands explanation—nothing to distnrb the
harmony which happily exists between the Uni
ted Slates and the great commercial powers of
Europe.
Lost silence on my part, alter the publication of
the joint remonstances, should make a different
impression here or elsewhere, and considering the
distance from the seats ot government of Europe
and America, it may be advisable to depart from
the nsual course in such matters, and publish this
letter also, to go with the remenstranee of the Bri
tish and French Representatives.

As dependence on God suggests the duty of
Prayer, so the bestowal of His mercies should
prompt to praise; and as States are as dependent
as individuals, these duties are alike obligatory on
them. Georgia, in common with our happy coun
try, has shared liberally the bounties of a benign
Providenoe: He has filled onr barnß with plenty;
He has preserved us f rom pestilence and the sword;
He has blessed onr land with general prosperity—
Therefore, I, Heeschkl V. Johnson, do issue
thißmy Proclamation, appointing Thursday, tbe
24th inst., as a day of ThanksUivln#, and request
all religious denominations in the State to assem
ble in their respective places of worship, to ac
knowledge, with devont gratitude, the manifold
blessings of God, and to implore the continuance
of His mercies npon the State and Country.

Sampson’s negro man, “ Mann Randolph,” who
managed his four moles without lines. This «r

stnnge or wonderful, but it is one of the many
facts of every day occurrence, which disproves the
allegation of the abolitionists, that the negro in the
South is exiled from the pale of humanity, justice,
and all kindly sympathies. We question veiy
much whether he has hslf ths chance ior fairplav,
or half the real practical sympathy, in the North

TRADE AND BUSINESS have been generally very sat
isfactory, though not heavy in any department.
GROCERIES.—The operations in the Grocery trade
during the week have been fair—being principally confined
(with few exceptions to Merchants,) to filling planters or.
ders. The stocks continue ample for the demand and
prices remain unchanged for the leading articles. We
may remark, however, that Molasses and Salt are held
very firmly at our quotations. The stocks of both these
articles are not heavy. We refer to quotations.
PROVISIONS.—The limited demand for Bacon hu its
effect on prices, which are only sustained for small lots for
immediate use. Flour continues in good demand, and our
City mills are actively employed in supplying the demand.
Our quotitions will afford a fair index of the market.
GRAIN.—Corn continues in good demand and prices are
well sustained. We quote at 60 to 70 cents by the quan
tity. It retails from store at 75 cents. Wheat Is well sus
tained and finds ready sale. Oats are worth 60 cents, and
scarce.
BAGGING AND ROPE have undergone no change.

EXCHANGES.—The rate for checks on the North Is X

Foreign Market*.
gTATS 09 TRADE.—The Com market, at Mark Lane
on the 24th ult.,wu only moderately supplied with English
Wheat,and the improvement notietd in the previous Fri
day's market woe fully sustained. The Factors commenced
by asking a very considerable advance npon the pricesof
the l?th ult and, eventuaUy a clearance was effected at
a rise of 9*.@B». V quarter, on;the rates of that day. In
Foreign Wheat, a large bneineee was done, at a like en
hancement of value. Flour was le.®2s. W barrel dearer;
Barley and Oate l«.@2s. higher. Tbe Millerehad raised
the top price of English Ftour6e. il sack.
At the Liverpool market, on the 25th ult., there was a
very large attendance of buyers, and an extensive bust
ness was done In Whest, chiefly white American, at an ad.
vance of 4d 4) 70 B>s. Inferior descriptions were only Is.
f»2s »70 De. dearer. Barrel Flour was held at tn ad
vanceof 25.@2e.6d. for Western Canal, 87s. being asked,
and 881. for Baltimore, but these prices checked sales.
In the London Money market there is Uttle change to
note. Money continues in great demand, and was expect
ed to get dearer. In Btooke and Share* there was no dis
position to speculate, and prices were likely to go lower.
The laet return of the Bank of England showed a furtner
falling oil in the Bullion of £177,615, and the reserve a
decree** of £1,804,485 sterling. Consols were laet quoted
tlM(rh9lJ4, being an Improvement, owing to a disposition
to look more hopefully on the aipect of foreign politics.
At Manchester business woe quiet, and pricei remained
•teady, being assleted by the firmness of the Liverpool
Cotton market. The Mill* at Preston and Wigan remain
closed and many thousands of operatives, were consequent
ly out of work. At Birmingham there was continued flrm
nest in Iron, with an adrance of 10s. ton for Bails and
Bode. Many of the Collier* had returned to work. In Not
tingham there was much less dullness than in the preceding
week. In the Woolen districts the war question caused
manufacturers to act with caution.
Accounts trim Odessa, state that the eupplie# of Gram
arriving were enormoue, end, although private houses had
been coiverted into granaries, numbers of carts laden here
forced to remain in the street!. Freights were rather low
er and a numerous Sect of merchant vessels was reported
as approaching at the I iverpool Cotton market on the 24ih
ult., a foir amount of bustneu woe transacted. Pates 6000
bales. Prices firm. Sales on the 25th, 6000.
LEEDS, Oct. SO.—The Cloth market this morning lice
been steady as to prices, and considering the unpropitioue
state of foreign affairs, about an average seasoa&ble de
mand for Cloth has been experienced. The tone of the
Woollen trade, Indeed, though ol a lomewhat dull charac
ter, Is not it all affected with alarm, and with a prompt
peaceable settlement of the Oriental dispute, or even the
certainty of actual war, it 1> not improbable that an im
pulse may bo given to the manufacture of Woollens in this
dlsricL
MANCHESTER, Oct. 25.—The demand for Cloth hai
been more limited than that for Tarn, and the market for
Yarn hae been very quiet. The Shirtings in demand for
India are chiefly 61b@!lb and Slh of 89-inch width, and it is
believed that some of the purchases of these are more in
preparation for future than present wants, owing to the
strike at Preston, where iuch good! are mostly produced ;
while, ou the other hand, a similar cantion, is leading
some of the makers to withhold their stocks. The expecta
tion of turn-outs is also affecting other goods, as printing
Clothe, for instance, largely produced at Burnley, where
the masters’ notices expire on the 23th inet. Already, ac
cording to a report on our Exchange this morning, there
are about 20 mills stopped at Bacup and neighborhood, and
the turn-out at Burnley will add 58 more. The turn-out
at Wigan, reported to have been in course of arrangement,
was stated by mill-owners frem that place, ou the Ex
change this morning to be apparently further from a settle
ment than before. A meeting of the Manchester Associated
Masters is also to be held to-morrow, for theparposeof
considering whether they will continue the advances al
ready given. The lower qualities of madapollama are in
demand for India, but longcloth* and T-cloths are in very
limited request.
Messsre. John Pender A Co.’s, monthly circular says:—
“ Since the date of our laet circular we nave had a very ir
regular and unsatisfactory market The advance in the
rateorintereetby the Bank of England t* 5 $ cent., with
the probability ofita being still further raised, hae induced
greater caution in all commercial tr.nsaotions.and this
has been increased by the prospect of higher prices for food,
and the great uncertainty with regard to continental
politics,
“In the early part of the month manufacturers showed
considerable anxiety to sell, notwithstanding the expecta
tion of a general turn-out at Preston; end some purchasee
were made at low prioes. Blnoetho closing of the mills in
that district there has been rather more firmness in the
market generally, and the more cheerful accounts from
India have led, this week, to a moderate business in the
lighter descriptions of 89-inch Shirtings; hut until political
and monetary matters become more settled we do not ex
pect any permanent improvement in this market.
“ Printing Clothe, % width, are in fair demand, but
Stock* of ail kinds are beginning to accumulate. Our qifo
tations. show a fail of Bd. fi piece during the past two
months. In 86-Inch which wore relatively dearer, the fail
haa been more sudden, owing to the increased production
in 89 inch loomo; .bnt this week tho downward tendency
aeeme checked by the prospect of a general etoppage of the
mills at Burnley, where thie width is largely produced
LIVEBPOOL, Oct. 21.—1 n the week ending on Friday
last, the total sales were 45,720 bales, of which 8 120 were
on speculation and 4,620 for export, ieaving 82,910 for tho
trade. The advance in prices may be quoted at Xd.@
8-161. doaror since the departure of the Arctic. On Sa
turday the sales amounted to 6000 bales, including 10C0
for speculation and export. To-day the market was quiet,
notwithstanding the advices by the America were still un
f.vorable as far as concerned the new crop. The sales
reached 6000 bales, of which about 1000 were on specula
tion and for export, and prices are without change. Tbe

ADJOURNED TERM, NOVEMBER 1, 1898.
or lie, the Grand Jury) tlhosen and Sworn
for the September Term, and alio the adjoorned Novem
ber Term of the Superior Court of Greene county, bog leave
1 to make the following Presentments:
W« bavs examined our public buildings, and And them
in good condition. We have also examined the offices of
public Records, and find them tn such cor dition u reflects
credit on the respective officer* havfog them In charge.
We have examined the aocounta of the County Treuu
rer, and find them correctly balanced by proper vonobers,
with a balance on hand of Two Hundred and Sixty-Three
74-100 Dollars.
We regret to say that the publio Roads of this county
are In such condition as to reflect discredit upon theoonn
ty. We, therefore, recommend that the autboritlec, whose
doty It !• to carry out the road laws now in force, be in
flexible In the discharge of their dalles.
We deplore the laxity and supineneea evidenced in our
public regulations throughout this county, so much as to
render our Patrol Laws almost a dead letter.
We, therefore, recommend the Magistracy of ths coun
ty to sternly enforce the laws regulating the patrol sye
tem; and, if they are found Insufficient, we will then ap
ply to the Legislature for the paseage of such laws as will
mset the wants of the case.
We present, as a grievance, the facility and teeming im
punity with which our slave population proeures intoxi
cating llquorr, in face of the lawe now of force, ruinous
alike to the health and morale of this class of our com
munity, and detrimental to the beat interests of thslr
owners, by impairing their value and general usefulness.
We most earnestly recommend our Benatortand Repre
sentative in thenextLegislsture, to endeavor to have a
local law passed for this county, putting the price of Retail
Liocnie at Five Hundred Dollars, provided there is not a
similar law passed for the State—and that all moneys paid
for such License, be turned over by the Olerk tt the pro
per officer for the benefit of the Poor School Fund.
We return our thanke to his Honor, Judge Gone, for the I
able discharge of hit duty at the September Term of this 1
Court.
In taking leave of hit Honor, Judge Hardeman, we re
turn him our sinoere thanks for the able discharge of his J
duty, and his courteous amenity towarda this body during i
this Term of the Court.
To 001. Saffold, the Solicitor General, we return our sin
cere thanks for the faithful performance ofj his duty and
oourteous attention to this body. 1

OBITUARY ■
Mr.i. ELIZABETH LEVEIIMAN died at the residence of
her son in-law, Mr. Lookhart, near Griffin,Ga., on the Bth
October, ult., in the 60th year of her age.
Du-lng the last forty years, and at the time of her de
cease, she was a member of the M. E. Church in this city.
In the dying hour she found the God whom she had served
still faithful; and after a half century of cross-bearing and
sealous devotion to duty, her pilgrimage ended in peaee
and full assurance of a happy eternity. According to her
own with, hir remains were brought to her late borne,
and interred in the family burying-ground, in Ihe Augusta
Cemetery. “Those who sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him;" and," wberahe is, tbere shall they be."
DIED. ______
In this city on the 21dt of Octiber, BUSAN WILHEL
MINK BTEINEK, infant daughter of Dr. H. 11. and Mrs
S. W. Steiner, in the third year of her age.
“ Dear little Sue, with her eyes so blue,
And her tresses of golden hair,
Her cheeks that rivalled the peach's hue,
And her lips so red and so fair.”
“ Death has set his seal there, and the beautlfol has be*
dome permanent.'*
At his residence near Powclton, Hancock county, on the
evening of the 7th, after an illness of two years continu
ance, Mr. JOHN N. JONES, in the fifty-fourth year of his
age. Mr. Jones had been an acceptable member of the
Baptist Ohurch at Powelton, for the last ten years of his
life. Such whb the character of his disease, as to preclude,
in a great degree, all communication with his friends,
but a i roper exercise of mind was not dealed him. To
the last he evinced that deep interest in the prosperity of
his family, always so characteristic of tbe man, at the
same time affording testimony that be left the world
leaning upon Him who is the “resurrection and the life."
In such a case, though the ties of long standing friendship
are broken, so far as death oan do it, yet his smitten fami
ly Rnd bereaved neighbors weep not for him aB for one
concerning whom there is no hope. “ Blessed are the
dead that die iu the Lord from henceforth; yea s&ith the
Spirit, they rest from their labors, and their works follow
them/*
Early in life the subject of the above notice settled in
Powclton, and for many years was engaged in mercantile
Eursuits. His greatest ambition was tbe good opinion of
is fellow man, and to be known by his deeds to be “an
honest man.”
After a residence of many years In Powelton, he re
moved to his Farm, within one mile of that place, where
he remained up to the time of his death. The character of
his disease was paralytic, and though so general as to
render him entirely helpless for twelve months past, and,
in a great degree, to destroy the powers of speech, still his
mind whs in a great degree left unimpared to the last.
Thus has passed away, after a residence of nearly half a
century the last of the former residents of Powelton. 8.
