The f epislatuure which adjourned * as * Saturday night, performed a great deal of work wnether fo good or evil there are various opinions. We art disposed to believe t e good greatly predominated A verv large portion of the leading members ar> candidates for other offices. This unfortunate ciicuinstance, it is believed, warped their judg ment and cda'rolled their action on many subjects When men aie over anxious to obtain some bighi-r office, tli- y lr?q iciitly cast their voles so as to a?? cure some oral popularity rather than ptonion the general welfare. The disposition of the lam scrip evolved some very curious eccentricity* ii legislation The Senate paised a bill by a very laig. niaj rity divn'ii g the proceeds of ill son, equally between Dai.lonega, Atlanta and Mil h dgeville. In the lower house the bill was alier ec giving a larg-r share to ..iiledg-ville and pass ed by a very large tnaj rity and sent, to the Senate. But now some very Sag© po.iticians saw gieat dan ger to the parly it thin hill should pass. I lies' men said Gov. Smith to be consistent, must vet ttie bill, and if tie di veto© it his election would b. endangered But ever) mail w ho has teed the ac ot Congress knows that act gives the disp Si mi ot tli. .“' tip to the Legislature, and the G"V. m i lias no mure power to veto their action on tha sit! j-ei. than tie lias to veto and act • 1 Congiess Tlu.s has lifts sc.ip twice been disposed of con tr»r\ to the wishes ot the people by a pretended necessity that did not.xist.

I he people ot Baldwin county now know that a verv lar-e tm-jonty ot the State i- with tin m and they will bid- their time.

William MeKin’ey shoul- not have been presented long befor* this, by some wiser and abler pen than mine, as one well suited to represent the county -of Baldwin. In t‘ e names already suggested and now prominent !y before the people, I rec guise it each and all ol them a gentleman it every sense of the word, and doubt less either of them would make a good Representative, but is there one who can compare with Col. McKinley in point of experience, working capac ity and untiring devotion to the inter est of the county and Milledgeville?— I he time lias come, and the crisis is now upon us when all who Lei an in terest in the Capitol question, Bald win county, and the city of Milledge ville should come together and make a slrom; pull a long pull, and a pul! altogether lor Col. Wm. McKinley, as one who can do us more good in the Georgia Legislature than any other one mail in the State. The writer has no information from any one that Col McKinley lias the least desire to be a Representative from Baldwin, but if ye aspirants will just (or a moment torget Sell and consider the interest of our county and city, and say to him you must represent us, he can certain ly not decline the > omination.

Tiie usual mer- rimeiit and mock legislation preceded idjournment. Gen. Riley, the veter- iii statesman of Dalilonega, occupied the jqieaker’s chair in the House a portion ot ihe time, and illustrated the gallantry which usually distinguishes our rising young statesmen by several complimentary remarks addressed to the beautiful ladies in the gallery. The valedictory addresses of the pre siding ufficers ot the respective houses were beautiful and touching—partic ularly that ol the Speaker ot the House. The important business to our sec tion, and to Middle and Southern Georgia has been disposed ol this evening in the Senate. The hill es tablishing in Niilledgeville “ i he Mid dle ami South Georgia Agricultural College’’ with donation of otm-rl ird of the proceeds of the land-scrip (S''1,060) passed the House on yesterday by so large a majority as to “ poi -ta moral” to the politicians who persist in op posing the will of the people. Con siderably more than two-thirds ol the House voted to give to Milledgeville one third, to Dalilonega another, and to the College for the education of the colored people of the State, the re maining third. With this prestige the measure went to the Senate on Friday afternoon. Its friends in the latter body made an urgent effort this evening, to take it up. It needed but one reading in (he Senate, having been a Senate bill, and going back tu the Senate with amendments ol the House, giving it the character above indicated. After a most eai nest effort the friends ot ti e measure were voted ne of tkie Hoii A O- Bacon of Bibi>,a»ihe Dearl d jwn, and the Senate refused to take •oratic candidate for Cotigress front the Sixth Distlict Able, z a ous diligent, his course in me Legislature is a matter of pride not alone foi tug constituents, but for the peopl of Georgia— ,lit. merits have been teste 1—he is of the right <tuff A faithful public servant in our State Couu- oi-s, let ns say to him, • go uo higher ” Always the outspoken friend of Milledgeville, only last wee- her warm advocate in the land ’ctip bu'iness; does he not peculiarly deserve some return at our hands J I trust our delegates will not ignore his claims upon our friendship — -.'Thine own friend and thy father’s friend, forsake no',” is the language of inspiration and of true wisdom* Milledgeville.

Thus the will of the pen pie as expressed through the popular branch by such overwhelming major ity, was ignored. Among the most active opponents of the proposition to take up and pass the bill we may mention Senator T. J. Simmons of Macon. From bis geo graphical location, and other consid erations, the friends of Milledgeville felt proportionally disappointed. We limit not fail, however, to award the proper meetl ol merit toa few of the most prominent of our friends in fli-s important matter. Hon. G. F. Pierce of| this point it is about thirty miles to Hancock, one of the most promising and gifted of the rising public men ot the State, introduced the important amendment in cite House ou Friday, and championed it through with a zeal, a sagacity, and a power of de bate which would tin honor to a vete ran statesman. He is richly deserv ing of the gratitude of not only our section, but ot the true friends ot Georgia everywhere. Hon. Mr. Sim mons of Hall, also, by his zeal and his active efforts deserves the unqualified praise ot our citizens and the public at large. We could men tion many others had we time or space, but we shall write more fully hereaf ter. Among ihe friends of the meas ured’ho were t ear, laboring zealously in the “ lobby,” I may be allowed to .mention unr distiimuisLed and honor ed lellow-citizeii Col. Wm. McKinley, whose able and untiring efforts in pre senting the proper aspects ot tl e measure belore ihe members of the General Assembly are deserving of nil praise. Ttie re.-ult ot the trial oi For the Union & Recorder. To the Democrats of Ballwin. The one great ohj. ct ot political de sire, will) os, has been hitherto con ducted with such si rial prudence ant) discretion, that complete and early success is now sale'y within oui it illustrates tiie determination ol Georgia to locate at least u jmrtipn oi i he fund to louud a school at Mdicdge- ville. We most not fail to chronicle the de votion of Col. R. \V. Phillips of EchoL county to the just bestowal of a por ti>>n of ibis fund, at least, on Milledge ville. Able, indefatigable, expeiieoced as a Legislator, and a Christian get Hainan of the highest type, he wield- Imre in the Legislature a large and excellent influence, la the hist dis cussion ol the Land Scrip matter, Col. Phillips was the' decided advocate ot Milledgeville. Unfortunately he was ill for the last few days of the session and unable to be in Ins seat. The aspet t of the Agricultural Col lege interest ol Milledgeville is bet ter now than ever before. At the next session of the Legislature, the measure can be carried. There is a strong feeling too, to return the Cap- tal ro Milltdgeville. Tiie restoration of tiie seat ol Government to its right ful place is but a question of time, and it will be done. I say “rightful;” because it is not only dictated by jioli- cy. but the law establishing Milledge ville as the Seat of Government tie dared that place the permanent Capi tal, aud under this state ol the law, each, if we do not needlessly jeopard f' r,va,e c 'tiz*ms made investments and *- l... ill*. ...A l .. uennl roll 1 • v *• u t o 11 riirli f /nmto u f.roL . if, by ill-timed favoritism or some other folly.

Across this narrow neck of bind it is proposed to cut a canal connecting these two streams, and thus opeuiru at once the navigation ot the great rivers ot the West to Rome. Ga. The survey ol this canal route has been made by the United States Gov ernment, and the line pronounced em incutly feasible. It is believed that the Etowah river above Rome can be so Huprovcd as to extend navigation thence to Cartersville, From this point to Macon a preliminary survey lias also been made by the United States Government lor a canal, and the work pronounced entirely practi cable by the engineer in charge. Thus the entire water connection can be made through our .State between the At antic ocean and the great livers ol the West- A bill granting aid by the General Government to this important enter prise is pending before Congress, with good prospects of becoming a law at no distant day. The need of a direct and unobstructed watercommunication between the Mississippi river aud At lantic Ocean has long been felt as a na tional necessity. The routes at pres ent existing ure notoriously inadequate to the wants ol trade. Besides other grave objections, they are closed by ice on an average ot five months in the year, thus causing a serious inter ruptiun to commence and involving heavy losses to tile producing sect'ons. The proposed route through Georgia will be free from these objections. It is much shorter, more direct, aud wi'I never be obstructed by ice, and being a river route for much tliegreater por tion of the Way, will be much cheaper than those where lake navigation and long lines of canal ure used. For these and other obvious reasons, tbe Geor gia route commends itself to the at tention of ttie commercial world, and especially to ourown people, who will be directly bent fitted by it. It is a well known fact of course that transportation by water is (he cheapest known to commerce, and it is very confidently hoped that the opening of this route will turn the great bulk ol Western trade that cen ters at St. Louis through our teriitory to our own seaports, and thence to foreign maikets. This will of necessi ty create a large import trade iu re- lurn. 'The rapid development cf our agricultural, mineral aud manufactur ing interests and resources, will tul- low; the tide of immigration will be turned toward Georgia, and her in crease in wealth and population will be far beyond anything she has expe rienced iu the past. It is very desirable that the prelimi nary surveys made by the Govern ment engineers should be extended so as to determine more fully the final location of the line and its bearing upon the commercial centers ot our own State, and especially to determine the poss bility of opening some of our connecting streams to free navigation. To this end, a thorough examination of the country, and a survev of the rivers should be made at the earliest period practicable, and I earnestly re commend the subject to your favora ble consideration- James M.

A recent trip through the upper part of Georgia convinces me that heavy crops of every kind will be made tins year. Corn is abundant I think almost every farmer will have more than a supply fur himself.— Wheat crops were said to be the best ever known.
