THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4S.
Editor's Correspondence.
Milledgeville, Tuesday, 17th No*.
In my letters I have had frequent occasion to
notice the multiplicity of local Legislation, which
its equally unimportant and uninteresting. This is
an evil of no small magnitude and calls lo idly
for correction. The truth is, that two thir is (at
least) of the time of both bodies, is consumed in
business of this character, and the result is, th.it the
important business of (he country is not tin fre
quently retarded, but it is hurried through w ith
out that deliberation and investigation whic'h its
importance demands. And it is not imoro ude
that those matters of general importance are some
times staged off, to give |place lo the introduction
and passage of measures exclusively local. This
subject is one, however, which requires a more ex
tended notice, than the limits of a letter will al
low, and I can only call the attention of your ea
ders to a subject Which imperiously demands the
attention of the whole people of Georgiw, ic whosa
hands the power rests to correct the evil. As to
the manner and mode of correction, I esunot of
course add any thing on this occasion.
The Senate yesterday were engaged during the
day in arranging the details of a Bill for the org.n
. -- ization of a Court ‘for the correction of E’iO;S #
which being arranged are as follows : There shall
be three Jndges, who shall be elected for two, four
and six years, the time Which each shall hold to
be determined bnj lot —shall each receive a salary
‘0f2600 dollars, and shall hold their sittings once in
.. .each jear at the folk)wring places: Hinesville in
Liberty county, Washington, Wilkes county, Ma
con, Bibb county, Gainesville, Hall county and
Talbwtton, Talbot county. Having concluded the
details the Senator from Bulloch, moved to lay the
Bill on the table for tne balance of the session. Cn
this motion, the Hon. A. J, Miller, took the floor,
and entertained ! lhe Senate and a large and highly
gratified audience, with a most powerful and con
clusive speech, in favor of the Bill, and in opposi
tion to the motion. He was followed in a few
brief remarks, by (he Senators from Paulding and
'Chatham, on th? same side, and the Senators from
Walton and Harris in opposition. The question
was then taken and decided in the negative. And
the Senate adjourned.
When I closed my letter yesterday, the House
Was progressing in the call of the counties, during
which Mr. Flournoy, of Washington, introduced a
Bill to abolish capital punishments so far as relates
to white persons, except for the crime of treason.
This is an important measure, and deserves the
most matur? deliberation of all Legislators, and
I shall rejoice to see that feature of barbarism ex
cluded from our statute books.
Mr. Stephen, of Taliaferro, introduced an im
{nrtant resolution, which prohibits the introduction
of any new matter after Monday next—which it is
to be sincerely hoped will be adopted.
The remainder of the sitting, in the House, was
devoted principally to local legislation, and the
reading of Bills a second time.
This morning the two houses met. The Senate
proceeded to the unfinished business of \ esterday.
the Court Bill, and a debate is now going on, in
which Messrs. Calhoun, Gordon and Floyd, have
advocated the Bill, and Messrs. Cnastain and Ke
nan opposed, and Mr. Echols of Walton, is now
occupying the attention of the Senate in reply to
Mr. Floyd of Walton. When he concludes, the
question will be taken on the passage of the Bill,
hut tie result will not be Known in time for this
communication.
The Senator from Walker died this morning.

Milledgeville, Tuesday P. M.
Since my communication of this morning wa
closed, the question on the passage of the bill e?
tablishing a Court for the Correction of Errors, ha,
• been taken in the Senate. The yeas were 31 th
nays 50—-so the bill was lost, and such is the de
tided majority against it, that it may be regardc
as settled for this session, and for another ye;
Georgia will present to her sister Slates the extra
ordinary position of requiring by her constitute
the establishment of such a Court, and yet am; ,
jority of her legislators, who are sworn to suppoi
that constitution, refuse to organize it. J.
Morgan County Tippecanoe Club.
This Association, at a meeting held on the 13t
iast., unanimously passed the following resolution;.
Resolved , That we view the contest in whic,
tlie peop-e of the United States have recently bee
engaged, as a slm -gie between office-holders an
the peop e ; between ambition and patriotism ; co; -
ruptiou and honesty.
Resolved , That we hail the result of the elet
Lons in our own and sNter States, as affording th
people assurance that Gen. William if. Harrison,
the people’s friend, the people’s favorite, and the
. people’s deliverer, is elected President of the Uni
ted states.
Resolved , That, as the Tippecanoe Club of Mor
gan County was among the first to raise the ban
eer of “ Harrison, Tyler and Reform,” there is a
special propriety in our meeting for a public cele
bration of the triumph of the people and the con
stitution; and that a committee be appointed to
make arrangements sui able io the occasion.
Agreeably to the third resolution, the following
gentlemen were appointed a committee of arrange,
meats :—H. J. Ogilby, Lewis Graves, E. E. Jones,
. Charles Whiting, Win. B- Wiley, Augustus Reese,
Win. Johnson, R. H. Fretwcll, J. T. McNeal, and
J. G. Rives.
On motion of Dr. H. J. Ogilby—
Resolved, That these proceedings bepublnhed in
Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel, and Milledgeville
Recorder. A. ALDEN, Pres’t.
A. A- Overton, Secretary.
Me. Editor—l am told a memorial is in circu
lation for signatures against tne immediate re
sumption of our Banks,— l hope they will publish
it, with a list of the names, that it may be seen who
is in favor of exchange going up again to 10 or 15
per cent, premium. It will soon be that if the
opinion prevails that our Banks will not resume,
f£ per cent, premium was freely yesterday, and
probably it will be higher to-day.

The Milled geville Journal of Tuesday says:—
By Tire following table, r>ur readers will perceive
that Georgia has nobly sustained herself. The
aggregate below is taken from the OJJkici Re
turn *, of all the counties in the State except two.
anti the vote of those two having been forwardeu
■t t« us by letter, we have added them in. The
rca ority is indeed overwhelming. Gen. Clinch
am. Mr. Campbell. the two highest upon the
Harrison ticket, are 8 360 votes ahead of Mr.
. Bulloch, the highest upon the V. B. ticket. And
• Gen. Wimberly, the lowest upon the Harrison
| ticket, is 8,390 votes ahead of Gen. Dates, the
lowest upon the Van Bu en ticket. Twenty
votes cover the Harrison ticket, and fifty the V.
B. ticket. The average Harrison majority, is
8 377. It would not be improper here to ask,
w hat has become of the 35.000 votes polled in
October, for the Van Buren Congressional ticket?
It was charged upon the Harrison party that
fraud was practised by them at the October e ec
tior. Now, if so. how does it happen that in No
vember ihey have polled again within the neigh
borhood of their October vote, while the Van
Buren party, counting in even the famous "Pond
Town Precinct ,** lack several thousands of their
former vote. How is this 1 Let those who have
blundered so much about fraud practised by the
Harrison party answer.

The Na.hvil e Banner of the says, she h»»
“defined” it by a majority of TEN THOUSAND
VOTES for Harrison and Kefoim. It is the same *
she occupied in 1536, when she gaVtr heV vote,
even against’he veiy slightest hope of success, for
the venerated and lamented V\ hite. Contending for
the same principles now, that she didihen, K will
excite no surprise that the majority for Harrison
should be about the same as that given, for Judge
White. They will not vary a thousand -votes —
Gen Harrison’s may be a few huudied votes larger
than Judge White’s.

The following Memorial was circulated in this
city yesterday for sign tures ; those who may wish
to sign it, will "be called on to-day.
The undersigned, citizens of Richmond County, re
-5 pectfulty represent to the Honorable , the Senate
and House of Representatives, of the Slate of
’ Georgia, in General Assembly met: *
( That any act having for its object a speedy re
storation of Specie Payments by the Banks of
Georgia, would of necessity greatly increase the
pecuniary difficulties under which our citizens la
bor. If, as your Memorialists believe, the suspen
sions of 1837 were made unavoidable by the then •
state of the country, they think hazard nothing in
the opinion, that the existing state of things is much
’ more adverse to a resumption, than was the then
j difficulty of sustaining cash payments. Your Me
i morialists respectfully point you to the Cotton
| crop of the present year, which is admitted cannot
• exceed half a crop ; now with this, the only effec
• live means of the country, abridge one half, is it
supposed the citizens of Georgia can meet
their payments I —and that too with a circulation
i which all concede wil be curtailed, by a resort to
specie payments. Already the circulation is teo
small for the legitimate wants of the country.
What then must be the effect of resumption ? The
Banks thus coerced, are impelled tq the necessity
of requiring prompt payments from their debtors ;
the city Merchants, who in return make like re
quirements of the country Merchants $ and they in
turn, similar requisitions of the Planter. Is he in
a condition to meet these demands ? Let his blight
ed fields answer.
They therefore pra-, that no legislative action
be had upon the subject; but. if in the opinion of
youi Honorably body, a contrary course be desira
ble, they do hope, that a mode of gradual resump
tion, something after the plan proposed by the Hon.
Mr. Rogers, of the House, meet your approval, it
being less oppressive in its operations upon the
people.
It will be peceived that several of your Memo
rialist were among the number recently praying
you for a general and early resumption of Specie
Payments ; subsequent reflection and developments
have convinced them of the evil which would in
evitably result from such a measure.

‘•The crop in this section of country, is very
good in comparison to other sections of the State.
The Cotton has a very fine weed, and pretty well
boiled, and has escaped the worm measurably.

the improvement in Domestic Exchanges, for some
time.-
We have rarely known our city so bare of South
ern produce as it is at present. There is not a
tierce of rice in first hands, the stock of naval stores
exhausted, and but a smal: supply of Cotton. This
is owing to the long prevalence of Easterly winds.

The Southern Magazine and Monthly Revietc. —
This is the title of a new peri-diba!, published at
Petersburg Va. by Edmund and Julian C. Ruffin,
i Its chief purpo-e i« to maintain Southern view’s in
relat.on to the limitation of federal powers, and the
principles of free trade. The specimen number be
fore us premises well for the character of the work,
and the ability with which it is to be conducted.
The article entit'ed‘n.evolution in Disguise,’il us
■ trative of the process by which new principles sre
i infused into constitution of government without
'changing its form, indicates the pen of a states
man and furnishes food for deep and apprehensive
thought as to the working of our political system.
The great changes which the writer discusses are
comprised under the head of 1. The functions and
powers of electors of the President. 2 The sub
stitution of paper money, and furnishing public
credit as trading capital for private corpoialiens
and individuals. 3. The high tariff or pro c-cting
duty system. 4. Limitation of the tenure of the
presidential office. 5 Executive patronage. 6.
Influence of Executive patronage on the Legisla
tive body. 7. Degrad rtion of the Senate and de
struction of its designed constitutional powers. 8.
The ex’ended power? of the ITesidefi*. Undet the
first nead the writer reasons with mu- b force, in
favor of the original provision of the chnltf ution,
which give the Preside! cy to ti e highest can idate,
and the Vice Present to the next on the list as in
tended and calculated to fib both the fit st and se
cond offices of the republic wuh cit./bns of the
highest Older of merit ; and he shews also that the
original, although unexecuted, design of the con
stitution was to give the electors of the President
a real choice, and not *o convert them into the
mere machines that they have ever been. With
regard to p ■ per money and the tariff, we are not
sure that he has made out h.s case, for Id say the
least the constitution is ambiguous on these sub
j jects, and.the principle dl boeVal practice and con
; strut tion is against his view of the matter. His
remarks on the increasing supremacy of the exec
tive will and Its tendcficy is to absorb the powers ot
the other departments of the government, or mane
them its subservient instruments, are but too wel.
founded in the history oi the past. We have been
particularly plea ed to find the able author, altho 1
a Virginian, harnessing himself against the rig-ht
of instruction, and toldiy arraigning its exercise
as the means of degrading the Senate, and annihi
lating its constitutional power, and in fact depriv
ing our political system of its conservative princi
ple.

Murder.
A man by the name of Absalom Lyles , lately
from the neighborhood of Augusta, was killed
near the Race T ack in this vicinity, on the 6th
inst. by a scamp named David Puckct. It ap
pears, the two had gone into a shanty or Log Cab
in not far from me Tiack to play “seven up” for
a half pint. Alter some time spent in this detect
able spurt, a dispute arose between them about
the g-me, or the lead,—some hard words ensued,
*hen Packet drew u pistol—Lyons said he was
not alraid of his pistol, and dared him to shoot.
Pucket immediately drew trigger, the pistol went
off, and the ball emeied the abdomen of Lyles,
who expired without again speaking. Pucket
has absconded. He has t*een pursued and search
ed for, but as yet all to no purpose.
Lyles was a poor man. about 27 years of age,
with a wife and two children dependent upon
his daily labor, who are now left in extreme dis
tress.—Macon Telegraph.
Causes or Death amongst Women. The
highest mortality of English women by consump
tion may be ascribed partly to the in-door life
which they lead, and partlv to the compression,
preventing the expansion of the chest, by cos
tume. In both ways they are deprived of free
draughts of vital air and the altered blood depo
sits tuberculous matter with fatal, unnatural feli
city. 31.000 English women died in one year

i king mao handed in at the office on Saturday
. this brie! and admirable summing up of the result
. in this Stale:
r “ The withering rebuke and individual disgrace
. of a President, being rejected by his own native
l Slate, has never before happened since the Inde
, pendence of the United States; and the proof
that the man deserved it, may be found in the
. fact that he runs behind the tickets associated
I with him, generally, even Clerks, Sheriffs, and
, Coroners, as well as State and Congress.

’ Salt Ri vih. —The following information from
1 the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette is important to a
great number of our citizens—‘-We are happy to
stale to our Van Buren brethren that the naviga
tion of Salt river is in excellent order—the whole
! stream perfectly hoatable. We found it very
* pleasant coming down a few days since ; and we
' doubt not that, all things considered, the upward
* navigation will be safe. As it regards the settle
ment, we may say, from a great many years’ resi
* denee, that it is comfortable and retired. The
quarters which our party occupied—a party pro
verbial for making themselves comfortable will
be opened to the Van Buren men, and we fcom
mend to them that agreeable philosophy which
I we learned and practised in those green retreats;
and as it regards our future movements, we say
that, having rowed up the Salt River our oppen
ents, we reserve the same canoe for ourselves
a whenever our country’s cause shad so need our
rowing up.
We have received Texas papers says the New
Orleans Courier, as late as the 7th inst., but find
them barren of information ; excepting, however,
the following paragraph, could it be believed:
“Intelligence has reached Austin that another
revolution has occurred in the city of Mexico,
that Gomez Farias is in the presidential chair, and
Bustamente, the re-aepoted, is at the head ol two
thousand men some .eagues from the capital.”
