Wales having, been retained by the individuals
interested, and not by the Governor under that
Resolution, I considered myself bound by res
trictive terms of the law, to exclude him from the
benefit of its provisions. If it were the purpose
of the Legislature to place him on an equality
with those gentlemen who were engaged by the
State, and to relieve the individuals employing
him from the payment of his fee, it is now in
your power to carry out that intention.
yrigadier-General John W. Rabun, of the Se
cond Brigade of the Second Division, has resign
ed his office. A copy of his letter of resignation
is laid before you.
I transmit to you copies of Resolutions passed
by the Legislature of Connecticut, Vermont,
New York, Kentucky, New Jersey, Indiana and
Maine, relating to matters of general concern;
and also Resolutions of the State of Sou'll Caro
lina, on the subject of the controversy between
this State and the State of Maine. Among the
Resolutions communicated, you will find° one
with a Preamble, from the State of Connecticut,
whose object is to procure the passage of a law
by Congress for the protection of the Manufac
turing interest. The renewal of this policy
should be resisted by the use of all constitution
al means. It cannot be forgotten how obnoxious
it was to one section of the Confederacy, nor
with how much tenacity it was adhered to by
another. In some of the States distinguished
citizens were found, who were willing to throw
off the glorious Union with all its benefit -, rath
'er than submit to its hardships, while in others
there were prominent men who would see the
Southern cities covered with grass, and require
that the calamity be traced distinctly to the cause
before they would consent to abandon it. The
bitterness of feeling engendered by this excit
ing measure, is a sufficient objection to its re
adoption ; but there are other reasons having
their foundation in principles of common right,
wherefore it should not be revived, lie who
cultivates the earth, or labors at any of ihe me
chanic arts, should not pay tribute to him who
manufactures the materials in which he is clad.
A choice of occupation is open to all, and none
has a right to select a trade after a due consid
eration oT its comparative advantages, and then
demand of the Government to contribution
on the rest of the country to increase his profits.
There is still a graver objection which no argu
ment of convenience or expediency should be
permitted to overcome. This Preamble and Re
solution assert the constitution of Congress to eu
act a law imposing a protective Tar.ff, without
reference to the necessities of the Government.
Concede this, and the Constitution creates no
barrier against the exercise of absolute authority.
m W ] i. depen< * 011 tlle ca P rice ail<l unrestrained
will of the Legislature. The Constitution con
fers no such power, and it cannot be assumed
without awakening a feeling which those who
arouse it will find it difficult to subdue. Ths
State of Connecticut seeks the accomplishment
of its object by obtaining the influence of the ex
pressionof sentiments lavorabie to the measure
by the Legislatures of the several States. This
expression I confidently believe they cannot ob
tain from Georgia.
Dr. Cotting, the State Geologist, has contin
ued his labors up to this time, though the appro
priation for the payment of liis salary was ex
hausted on the sixth day of July last. lie was
informed by me that the failure of the Legislature
at the last Session to make further appropriation
for the support of the office, might be construed
into an intention to discontinue it, after the con
sumption of the balance of the fund, and that if
he discharged the duties beyond the time at
which the sum set apart for that special object
should be expended, he must rely for compen
sation on the estimate placed by the Legislature
■■ on the necessity and value of his services. If,
in your opinion, the public interest requires the
further prosecution of this survey, an appropria
tion must be made to defray its expenses. I
would recommend that payment be made for
what lias been done. The Fourth Annua] Re
port ot that Officer is now communicated, from
which it will be seen that discoveries have been
made in some counties valuable to the interests
of agriculture.
I recommend to you a revision of the law for
the government of the Militia. From the want
of a proper organization under the existing sys
tem, it is impossible to bring a force, how ever
small into the field, without great difficulty, when
it is necessary to resort to a draft. Orders can
not be executed but through Officers, and in
counties in which a dralt was recently ordered
to till a requisition under the authority of the
General Government for a single Company, there
was scarcely a Company to be found properly
organized. Much delay was occasioned by this
cause ; but alter the draft was completed, new
embarrassments were thrown in the way by the
unwarrantable interference of evil disposed per
sons, who advised the men not to yield obedience
to a call made by the authority of the laws. The
exertion of so wicked an influence should be
made the subject of the severe retribution which
it merits. It is calculated to ensnare the inno
cent, for he who ignorantly heeds the unfortu
nate counsel, is subjected to a punishment from
which it is impossible, in the rigor of military
law, to escape. Cases may be imagined in which
the safety of a whole community might be en
dangered. ~
The October Report of the Bank of Ruckers
ville is transmitted to you. The semi-annual
Reports of the other Banks that have been, re
ceived, are in this department, subject to the
examination and order of the Genera] Assembly.
1 hree bills passed by the last Legislature and
presented for my revision which were dissented
to by me, and whose return to that body was
prevented by its adjournment, are herewith com
municated together with my objections.
A copy of the report of the principal Keeper of
the I enitentiary, recommending such amend
ment* of the rules for the police of that institu
tion as have been suggested by his reflection and
experience, is placed before you.
Great difficulty was experienced in the begin
ning of the year, from the want of meterials to
keep the convicts profitably employed. No ap
propriation was made by the last Genera] As
sembly to purchase them, and the Officers were
compelled to rely, in a great measure, on the
credit of the institution, which had become much
impaired by the heavy amounts of unsettled de
mands against i\ Advantageous contracts can
not be made under such circumstances. The
small appropriation of three thousand dollars
made at the last session was drawn from the
Treasury before the first Monday in January last,
so that the institution was compelled to rely on
its own resources for the present year. There is
now on hand a large amount of good material for
the purchase of which, new debt 6 to a consider
able amount, were necessarily contracted ; but
from the manufacture of which, the State may
expect to realize a handsome profit. For the
S eighteen hundred and thirty-eight and thir
e, the sura of 25,000 dollars was vo
this institution. All that is now asked is
, not an appropriation ; and if the institu
tion should be hereafter conducted with as much
energy and wisdom as it has been during the
present year, the State will be re-imbursed m a
very short time.
The enclosure around the lot on which the
Executive Mansion is situated, and other neces
sary improvements authorized by an Act of the
last Session, have been delayed by the difficulty
of procuring suitable materials. The out build
ings have been erected.
From the official returns made to this Depart
ment, a most decided and unequivocal express
ion of the popular will in favor of biennial sessions
ot the General Assembly, has been given—the
vote being thirty-seven thousand nine hundred
and eleven for biennial, and five thousand one
hundred and seventy- two for annual sessions—
more than seven-eighths favorable to the former.
The heavy expenses ol the annual session of so
numerous a body, the abortive efforts heretofore
made to reduce the number, and the constitu
tional authority vested in the Executive to con
vene the legislature on extraordinary occasions
have, no doubt, concurred in creating this strong
public sentiment in lavor of the measure. If the
wishes of the people are permitted to exert the
influence to which they are entitled in represen
tative governments, they must be decisive of
your action on this subject.

The Federal Union and the
Central Bank.
We were gravely reproved by the Fed
eral Union of the 27th ult., for some ob
servations upon the Central Bank which
appeared in our paper week before last.
In recom'merfding that the Legislature
should take some order with that institu
tion, that the credit of the State might he
rescued from its present condition ; we be
lieve we did indeed represent tire wishes of
the sensible and honest portion of all par
ties. The insinuation of the Federal Un
ion, therefore, that our article was “ cap
ped by one party, coated by another, and
pantalooned by a’ third,” though by no
means courteously expressed, is yet in some
degree true. It is more especially true
that wc represented in the article that call
ed forth the ire of the Federal Union, the
sentiments of the Whig party. It is known
to all, that the State Rights party in the
Legislalure vigorously opposed the Bill to
extend the Charter of the Central Bank, and
that it was carried through the Legislature
by almost a strict party vote.
“ We notice this production” (our arti
cle) says the Federal Union, “to remind
our readers, that the Editor of theiNews &
Gazette is mistaken in supposing that the
credit of the State lias been injured by the
issues of the Central Bank. The Bank had
borrowed by order of the Legislature, S3OO
- for one year. When this debt foil due
the means of payment had not been provi
ded, and great uproar over the credit of the
State ensued.”
111 other words, the credit of the State
was not injured by the issues of the Bank,
because it was as bad as it possibly could
be before the Bank began to issue ! Mow
came the credit of the State in this condi
tion ? Why, because, owing a debt of
$300,000 in New-Y'ork, the Hard-Money-
Anti-Bank party then in power, instead of
paying that debt, which, according to their
own admissions and the showing of the
h ederal Union, the State had ample means
of doing, chose rather to suffer a protest,
and to keep the means which should have
been applied to that payment, for the pur
pose of doing a brokerage and banking bu
siness.
But the Federal Union has misrepresent
ed our words ; we did not say that the cred
it of the State had been injured by the issues
of the Bank, because we believe as the F.
Union insinuates, that it had already reach
ed its lowest ebb when it suffered its secu
rities protested. Our words were, “ the
credit of the State represented by the Bills
of the Central Bank, has declined in pro
portion as its issues increased.” We refer
to the experience of all our readers if this
is not the fact ? “Yet,” says the Federal
Union, “the bills of the Bank pass currently
at par in almost every part of the State.—
At points where payments at the North or
abroad, are the principal uses of money,
they have in common with the bills of other
interior Batiks suffered depreciation. But
this depreciation does not increase with the
progress of distribution.” In no part of the
State so far as we can learn (and we have
taken some trouble to inquire) do the Bills
of the Central Bank pass readily ; in the
whole of Eastern Georgia, from the Savan
nah up to the very doors of the Bank, they
arc at ten per cent discount, and at a great
er depreciation than the bills of any other
Bank (except of those confessedly broken)
at the points where payments to the Nortli
are made, “ In common with the bills of
other interior Banks.” ! Why, we pre
sume, that the Editor of the Federal Union
will allow the Commercial Bank of Macon
and the Columbus Insurance Bank to be as
much or more in the interior, than the Cen
tral Bank, yet both these command a premi
um at the comrhercial points. The Geor
gia Rail Road Batik at Athens, the Branch
es of the State Bunk, the Ruekersville
Bank, &c. all'in the interior, are at par in
Augusta, while only the Bank of Rome, the
Darien Dank, and the Monroe Rail Road,
are at a lower discount than the Central
money—the last very little below it.
Now, let us see if our assertion is cor
rect, which the Federal Union disputes, to
wit: that the Bills of the Central Bank had
depreciated in proportion as its issue in
creased. Up to the passage of the law its
Bills “ were in undoubted Credit,” because
it bad not power to issue beyond the amount
of specie and bills of other banks in its
vaults; but when it was empowered to
bank on nothing, and commenced issuing to
the counties, its money began to depreciate.
About the first of July, just before the is
sues commenced, we find it quoted in Au
gusta 5 to 6 per cent, discount, at this pre
sent writing it is 10 per cent, under par in
the same place. How then can the Feder
al Union say the “depreciation does not
increase with the progress of distribution.”
“ That body” (the Legislature) proceeds
the Federal Union : “ had power over only
two funds : their own money now compos
ing the capital of the Central Bank, and the
money of our citizens, which could be
drawn from them by taxation. The Legis
lature were urged to go into the system of
taxation, and a splendid array of words was
strung together by a Committee, to enforce
such a measure. It was obvious to the best
informed, that the present wants of the Go
vernment, and the debts which it was im
portant should be promptly paid, could not
be provided for by taxation under any form
for the exaetion of money,which was known
t°’ °ut citizens. Thes.e debts, and amongst
them the whole expenses of the Legisla
ture, must be otherwise provided for, or re
main unpaid. The times were also inaus
picious for the enactment of laws greatly
increasing the taxes. The people who sent
that Legislature, would not have submitted
to the scheme of the Committee, if it had
been enacted. Some counties migjit have
sanctioned it; but so far was it from having
the sanction of either party, that it would
have been the height of folly to have at
tempted it. The scheme was nullified. —
Taxation was weighed in the “ balance,”
and found wanting.”
It was proposed by the State Rights por
tion of the Legislature to appropriate “their
own money’ referred to in the above ex
tract to the payment of the State’s debts.
The Hard-money majority in that body, re
jected that honest and wise proposition, and
preferred to keep that fund to bank upon !!
As to the system of taxation, if we under
stand it, it was not intended to increase the
taxes of the people, but merely to equalize
them. But supposing it had been intended to
lay additional taxes, it would surely been
more just and honorable to have paid the’
injured debtors of the State from the funds
than in hand,and if necessary then to have
resorted to taxation to support the Govern
ment.
For our part we believe that taxation is
the only legitimate way in which a Gov
ernment should he supported. An honest
and intelligent people like that of Georgia
will never complain of such taxation as
would supply the moderate wants of such
a Government as ours. We do not think
it proper that any State, should go into
competition in speculation with banks and
brokers. The party heretofore in power
have been tempted, by having a large un
employed fund in their hands, to go into
the banking business but from the wasteful
mode in which those funds have been man
aged, we judge that temptation will soon
cease, and then for the taxation which the
Van Buren party for the last seven years
have been so anxiously avoiding and stav
ing off. We have heard some curious
hints of the way in which the States’ pro
perty has been managed and we will take
this opportunity to ask the Federal Union,
as he speaks like one having authority, if
the State stocks in certain banks have not
in one or two instances been sold and paid
for in the depreciated bills of the Central
Bank ? that is ten per cent below their
market'value. “The times were inauspi
cious” indeed for the Van Buren party to
lay a tax on the people ! A great election
was coming on.—They saw from the signs
of the times, that the people were deter
mined to turn out the money changers from
Ihe temple, and with their usual fear of re
sponsibility, they dreaded by any possibil
ity to add any thing to the mass of opinion
which was even then weighing them down.
The thing might be unpopular, and they
dreaded unpopularity more than financial
dishonor.
“ The Bank, ’ says the Federal Union,
“ has, moreover, loaned to the people, the
sum of $750,000 on on a credit of
five years, and we kmS not what .111 ms on
hills of exchange, to provide for the dav
w hen resumption of specie patients may
he called for.” Is it not a little strange
that the Bank should not be aide to pay
$300,000, and yet be able to loan $750,000.
As to those bills of exchange—here leaks
out a system of favoritism, in w
doubtless, the Bank has been., engaged.
They were obliged to lend money on good
notes, by whomsoever offered, but these
“ bills of exchange” could be granted ac
cording to its officer’s pleasures; if they
chose, only to their very particular
friends and cronies. We hope the “ bill
of exchange” system will be looked into,
for thereby, we opine, hangs a tale.
“ And now that this distribution approa
ches a close, and the day, the distributive
share of Old Wilkes is to be paid to her
people, is almost present, we learn from
one who knows, that the citizens of that
county, without regard to party, will be
very glad to obtain their part of this cal 11111-
niated paper.”
“ One who knows,” told the Editor of the
Federal Union, the truth. But lie might
know it without the trouble of inquiring
from “one who knows.” In these hard
times, those who are in debt arc glad to ob
tain money even at a depreciation often per
cent. But that is no argument to prove, the
goodness of the money. The Federal
Union is, doubtless, aware that a great in
ducement to taking the money, is the long
time given for payment; and the know
ledge that it must either be enhanced in va
lue, or suffer a farther depreciation. If the
first happens, the borrower will be at least
in no worse situation than at present. But
most borrowers expect a farther deprecia
tion, and will hasten to get rid of the bills
at the present rate of discount. In that case,
they, of course, will profit by<fispo’sing of
their bills at the present value, in the mo
ney market; and buying them again, to
pay their debt to the Bank, when their va
lue is even less than at present.
But we cannot pursue the champion of
the Central Bank farther, in his tortuous
sophistries. His insinuation that prejudice
and folly prevent the Central Bank hills
from being taken in payment, is rediculous.
We have never heard of prejudice so obsti*
nate, nor of folly so egregious as to prevent
a good bill from being taken in payment.
Ignorance might do it, but we every day
see men who can be charged neither with
prejudice, folly, or ignorance, refusing the
bills of the Central Bank. We again reite
rate our hope, that the present Legislature
will take some measure to redeem the State
from this disgraceful scheme of banking 011
a credit basis.
Since the foregoing was in type, we have
received the Governor s Message. Wo
have no time to comment upon his remarks
as to the Central Bank, except to say, that
we see no reason in them to change any
opinion we have expressed above.
OiT” For the sake of variety, after the te
dious political discussions in which we
have been engaged, we present our rea
ders with an interesting tale, from “ Black
wood’s Magazine.” We commend the
“XVag Family” to the attention of those
who are fond of things of this sort.
“ A VULGAR WOMAN,”
says the Richmond Star, “ is one who
stays at home, and takes care of her chi 1-
dreij —the race is nearly extinct.” The
Boston Transcript,upon this text,.discourse!!)
atsbme length, and tells some truth’s which
will bear repetition. Hear him :
Pity ’tis, ’tis true. If a woman who stays
at hortie and takes care of her children is
vulgar, then commend us to a “ vulgar wo
man.” A woman who neglects her house
hold affairs, and goes gadding abroad, to
see and to he seen, instead of doing her duty
at home, is one of those persons in society
who should not meet with the countenance
of the public. There are domestic duties
which every mother of a family is bound to
perform, and she who neglects those duties
is unworthy to be at the head of a family.
The duties of a wile and mother are plain
and obvious. The wife should be literally
the head of the in-door affairs of a house.
She should superintend the whole domestic
machinery of house-keeping; not by proxy
but in person. She should know, from per
sonal observation, that every tiling is done
“ decently and in order ;” that every thing
is in its proper place. She should be up be
times in the morning ; she should not he a
fraid of the kitchen, hut should he familiar
with the whole management of it. She
should not sit down and hold her hands, or
call a servant to hold them for her. She
should not ring the bell every five min
uite during the day for the purpose of call
ing a second servant to wait upon her. She
should not be afraid to wait upon herself
upon any and all occasions. She should
not be afraid to take a needle in her hands,
and use it too.

RARE SPECIMEN OF GENEROSITY.
A late 1-reach Journal tells us that late
ly some children were playing in the bot
tom of an old dried-up well, at a small vil
lage in the department of the Rhone.—
They amused themselves by stirring the
rubbish at the bottom, and discovered a
large iron chest, completely eaten up with
rust. One of them was imrhediatel v de
spatched in search of a strong cord, and the
chest was borne in triumph to the owner
of the well. On being forced open it was
found to contain an immense heap of gold
coins of the three reigns which preceded the
revolution of 1879, and also several bun
dles of family papers. The proprietor
thanked the children for their discovery,
hut added that he should apply to their pa
rents for some indemnification for the cord,
which they had materially damaged in
their efforts to draw up the iron chest.
The Methodists in Canada now consist
of nearly one hundred thousand souls.
They have sprung up in a few years from
very small beginnings, and under many
disadvantages. “It is not many years, says
the Quebec Gazette, since the only Method
ist preacherin Lower Canada, was incarce
rated several months tn the Quebec Jail,
for libel ; and in Upper Canada there were
only a few wandering Missionaries. Thev
