(ior. Foote on New York Politic*.
The following letter was received from the Hon.
Henry S. Fotte, in reply to the invitation of the
Committee of the National Democratic Jubilee,
held at Metropolitan Hall on the evening of the
23rd of November last:
Jackson, Nov. 80, 185*.
Gentlemen—l deeply regret that 1 was not in
the city ot Jackson when your letter of the 17th
instant, reached its destination, as, inconsequence
of my absence from home, considerable delay Las
arisen in responding to its contents.
I assure you, gentlemen, that you have but done
me simple justice in supposing that 1 “could unite
with you in cotgfatulating the national democra
cy’' ot the Em pi e State ol the confederacy “upsn
their recent md unprecedented triumphnor is
it, in my judgment, to be in the least degree doubt
ed that tut lustre ot that triumph is greatly en
hance! by .he circumstances to which you so cm
plul c !iy rcfei—that this grand result was “ac
c m j ..tslji.‘ 1 si-iely by the spontaneous uprising
ot the people, unaided and unsupported by go
vernment patronage.” Few events occurred in
the last halfcevituiy better calculated to rejoice the
hearts o'uli true pa'riots, aud to strengthen the
coufidene'* of i !1 enlightened men, in the stability
of republican institutions, than the signal and sur
prising victory which has just been aciiieved in
your populous end influential commonwealth, by
the champions of the “Constitution and its com
promises" over that pestilent and lawless free-soil
faction which has so long kept the w hole public
mind of the country in a feverish and unnatuial
excitement, and involved the Union itself ia such
fearful jeopardy. W hatevor may be said or j üb
iished to the contrary, in any quarter, l trust that
those indomitable champions ot the national de
mocratic creed —the Dickensons, the Bronsons,
the O'Oooors, and their valiant comrades in arniß
—will rest thoroughly assured that they have the
sympathy, the respect, and the gratitude of all iu
tills section of the coniederaey whose esteem and
confidence are at all worth possessing ; and that
there are but :ew men of standing to be found in
the whole South who do not feel the liveliest in
dignation at the attempt of a trio of corrupt and
besotted Cabinet ministers to intermeddle in the
domestic concerns of one of the Sovereign States
of the Union—to break down everything like free
dom of opinion—to extinguish all of that just and
legitimate Mate pride which constitutes one of the
main pillars of oar system of confederated govern
ment —through the instrumentality of an accursed
spoils policy, under the reign of which all public
virtue must infallibly languish, the most elevated
and disinterested love of count ry ouly constitute
on insuperable impediment to all public advance
ment, and a wild and infuriated spirit es Jacobi
nism bo seen, sooner or later, usurping all the
high places of civic trustand dignity. I hope and
confidently believe that a wholesome reactionary
movement has occurred in the State of New York,
which will continue and diffuse itself until faction
and faetionists shali be consigned to that death
which knows no resurrection, and the repose and
happiness of the republic be placed upon foun
dations as imperishable as the fame of those il
lustrious sages with whom the “constitution and
its compromises originated."
] have the honor to be, gentlemen, your friend
and fellow-citizen. 11. s. Foote.

Gen. Bern Sunk—Fifteen five* Lost.
Commercial Hotel, Jan. 5.
the Editors of the Memphis Eagle and En
qaif< r —Gentlemen :—La t evening at, I suppose,
about the hour oi 9 o,clock, a few miles above the
Walnut Bend, in what is called “Grand Cut Off,"
the steamer General Bern freighted from Cincin
nati for Arkansas river, met w.th sudden and
over,?h lining destruction. Descending the river
with a full head of steam, she ; truck a snag near
the Mississippi shore, upon which she poised her
self for a moment, when she commenced swing
ing, m which operation, she was torn into a thou
sand atoms. Within live minutes the boat had
sunk t » the hurricane deck, when the whole cabin
floated off, leaving the hull with about fifteen deck
passengers below the surface, the former a muti
lated wreck, the latter, hurried victims of accident
into the presence of their God, without a moment
of preparation.
The cabin passengers 6Ed crew, when the boat
struck, hurried to the upper deck. Some four or
live of the former were thrown off and were found
strngg ing in the waves, with fragments of the boat
supporting them. Fortunately for the sufferers
the Saranaek came to their rescue. Within ten
minutes ot the accident the gallant crew of the
latter boat were ministering to the suffering of the
ill-fated travelers. The first intimation which the
writer oi tide article (who was a passenger on the
Sargnack) had of the accident, was from the
hoarse veil ot the sufferers in the waves. Steam
was stopped—-then was audible the earnest cries
and supplications of the poor sufferers lor help
each begging iu the most piteous terms for the
“yawl."
The captain of the Saranaek gave his orders and
nobly did the gallant mate perform his duty. His
sturdy arm was soon at the helm, while his coarse
and commanding voice seemed to encourage and
revive the spirits ot the poor sufferers. Their
suppl.cations were increased—some from frag
mems, more from the main deck, and a few scat
tered along the bank, who had swam ashore, each
urging by a!! tko arguments at command fur
speedy help. The male of the Saranaek fully self
possessed, went to the sufferer who had floated
low r duwu the stream, ard commenced his ascent
rehevi. g all m his way. When he had reached
t.iedeca cf the Bern, it was discovered that there
wa man under the deck, yet struggling for life,
in* cru'S s •;*ryely audible. The mate pooh pro
cured a i axe, with which he perforated the deck
and drew mrthilie suffering victim, who almost
instantaneous with his delivery became insensible
aim so remained for several hours. The suffering
of the crew was beyond anything that I have seen
save in the case of the ill-fated Webster, some in
scnsib.e, others almost 1 feless, the distress may
be imagined, but not described. The officers and
crew of the Susquehanna deserve all praise for
their noble exortions in behalf of the poor suffer
ers. They rescued about twenty-five sufferers
most oi whom but for her fortunate interposition’
won d have been consigned to a watery grave

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
New York, Jan. 8. !
Auotber tremendous conflagration occurred in
this city this morning. About one o’clock the
whole city was illumined by the glareoi the flames,
which were consuming the celebrated and magnifi
cent Metropolitan Hall, and the new and unopened
La Farge Hotel. The Ilall was the finest Concert
room in America. It was built about three years
ago, and was to have boeu inaugurated by the
singing of Jenny Lind, but by some ambitious ,
rivalry, Madame Anna Bishop had engaged it first ,
and would, for no consideration, allow her more
distinguished rival to occupy it on such an oc- I
casion. It was fitted up in an elegant i.ud costiy
manner, and its destruction is a severe loss,
us well as public inconvenience. It was crectc i
by a Mr. Tripler, who gave it his name, which was
arterwards changed in its late one, when it was
purchased by its present owner, Mr. Ln largo.
J uliien was to.have given his Grand ßal Pare at
Metropolitan Ilall, on tho 18th. Father Gavazzi,
who sailed in the Pacific yesterday, for Liverpool,
occupied tho Hall last, since ho lectured in it on
Thursday and Friday evenings.
Tho less of the beautiful LaFarge Hotel excites
deep sympathy, it has been in tho coui.e ot
erection for more than a year. The front was mar
ble, six stories high, and was just completed, being
ready to open on tho 18th. The furnituro and up
holstery, which were of the most superb descrip
tion, had boon received; and evetythmg wascon-
Nothiugof either the Hall or Hotel is left stand
ing, save a part of the walls. One part leli about
two o’clock, and the crash was terrific. It is im
possible to estimate the loss, but it adds another to
the most disastrous conflagrations which have oc
curred far years. It will bo remembered by some
if your readers, that tho LaFarge Hotel was to
have rented for $40,000 per annum, from which
the extent of its loss may he slightly approximated.
As a spectacle it wu» one of the grandest things
that we ever saw. Tim flames towered so high,
and were so exceedingly vivid as to light up Wash
ington Park, ana the vicinity for a mile around.—
A shower of sparks and flakes of tiro bospecked
the skv, muk'-ng it gorgeous a pyrotechnic dis
-1 play as thefotes of Versailles ever exhibited. It
wai a very general remark, that such a crowd as
wore gathered together this morning, has not been
seen since the great tire 0f.1837. It was bitterly|cold,
bat the mess ot human beings seemed bound by
some enchantment to the tutal spot. The Fire
men could do nothing but allow the Iloto! and hall
to perish, and try to save the adjoining buildings,
which, they did. Tho Bond Street Hotel adjoined
the La Farge, and was saved with but little dam
age. On the upper side a new Store was being
erected, and on the corner of the square a grocery
store was scarcely harmed. The La Farge Hotel
' was situated in [Broadway', just above Bond st.—
’ j No aocideuts are known to have occurred. The
3 | recent three large fire-in tho city, together with
I the severe losses at sea, will cut down the divi-
dends of our Fire and Marine Insurance Com
c panics.
1 The number of wills which havo been reversed
, by our Courts recently shows that equulity and
1 justice are no longer to bo defrauded by legal tech
e nicali-ies. The Jones’are unwilling to risk any
8 more of their diminished fortune iu further con
-7 testing their case. It is a matter of public gossip,
a as wel as of general congratulation, that no one
e will b* benefitted by the recent decision more than
.’ Miss 2mma Wheatly, a young and beautiful ac-
J tress years ago, but now*the "wife of Mr. James
? Masor. It was for this alliance that the family
'y conspired to disinherit Mr. Mason, because he
e sougtt a wife on the stego. To appreciate the
” supreme feelings of contempt with whichjsuch a
connection was viewed, it should be borne in mind
® that tee rich old father was himself a tailor, sud
-1 denly metamorphosed into a millionaire I Ju.-tico
J however, though a slow coach, has at last come out
-> right.
‘ ! Thewili of tho late John Jacob A dor has fdso
! been ia litigation. A Mr. DeLancey Kane married
a a granl daughter of the millionaire, contrary to
the wishes and advice of the family. It was' in
fact a-‘runaway match.” Mr. Kano" and his wife
d have triumphed however, and will cut a nice slice
, out of Mr. As'or’s small property. The wills of
“ sever.l other millioimries have been iu Court some
time rnd it is hoped justice will continue to favor
the d sinherited.
Further from Havana.
From returns published in the Diario do la Ma
rina we preceivo that the exports ot sugar from
Havana during the year 1853, amounted to 752,571
“ boxes, against 708,520 in 1852. Os coffee, the ex
b ports have been 108,077 arrobas, against 142,571
in H 52. Os leaf tobacco. 4,020.720 pounds
against 3,204,082 pounds in 1851. The total num
ber of vessels which entered the port of Havana in
d 1853, was 1856, against 1758 in 1852; sailed 1866
r against 1789 in 1852.
r The Diario naturally crows triumphantly over
- those and other satisfactory conditions of tho
country. It also congratulates its readers on the
- tranquility which has prevailed in the island dn-
I ring the year and attributes that re.-ult to the salu
i tary lesson which it says was given to those
£ foreigners who on a former occasion attempted to
disturb it. It anticipates that lesson will also serve
t to prevent any similar attempts for tiie future,
t The total exports of sugar from the whole island
in 1852, were according to the Diario 1,40fi,000
t j boxes; while those for 1853, as far :i3 the returns
[' j received indicate, will exceed 1,500,000 boxes, and
1 j will rival those of 1851. A similar increase on the
l J total exports of tobacco from tho island has taken
' j place.
j The Diario, however, admits that in somecoun
; : try districts the cholera has created terrible havoc
during the lute fall, decimating their productive re
sources. It nevertheless contends that tho actual
i ravages of the disease has been exaggerated, and
; that when all the facts come to be taken into eon
i S'deration, the island will be found not to have
v experienced any serious loss in its labor.
The action already taken in tne prosecution of
; Ai atic immigration, and the yet more vigorous
ac- on about to b.- taken under the auspices of the
l Supreme Government, are also dwelt upon with
i satisfaction by the Diario.
s The Diario says that Gen. Pezuela, has decline !
i to take the aldition of $6,000 to his salary, as Su
• perintendent of the Treasury, to which ho wasen
■ tit ed, considering himself already sufficiently
wed remunerated for all the duties with whi.Ji ho
is charged.
The Captain General has issued a decree for pro
hibiting the use of copper vessels in all coufec
tiouary and other establishment'.
Thcrojal Audencia Pretoria! was opened with
true Spanish formality on the 2d inst. Some in
teresting returns on the state of crime ami litiga
tion are given in the opening address of the Kegent.
The value of the exports of produce from the
Island in 1552, is given at $26,595,293.
A Dl-f.l.—A duel was fought near Memphis, in
I iCkens county, Alabama, on Saturday morning
ia-t, bj I >r. F. \V. Irby and Dr. Fant, of Noxubee
county, in this State, in which the former waakilled
at the first fire, the ball entering his breast below
the right-nipple, passing through his heart and
budy. His remains were interred in the Odd Fel
lows buryingground in this city on Monday.
The weapons wore duelling pistols, and the dis
tance 13 % paee3. Dr. Irby, who was killed, was a
most estimable gentleman, a member elect of the
present Legislature, and tho difficulty grew out of
more misunderstanding in the late canvass between
himself and his antagoni-t, who waaa candidate
for tho same station. Both gentleman were Demo
crats and members of the church. Wo are fold
that the affair would havo t ken place long since
had it not been lor extreme ill health of Dr? Irby
who was conveyed to the ground of comba' in a
carriage and was scarcely able to stand up without
support at the time of the iatal occurrence, the like
of which, wo hope never again to bo under the

Ink Mails are sadly out of joint. The North

LaFsycite Course.
\ ESTEitDAT was a lino day tor tho sports of the
turf, and as there was a prospect of one, and per
haps two exciting races, thero was a good attend
ance.
In tho first race, four mile heats, thero were
three entries: Red Eye, Maid of Edgecomb , and
Judge Ridley. Red Eye was the favorite at long
odds, two, throe and in somo instances four to
one, was offered and taken on him against the
field. Ah tho result was considered very certain,
however, the amount that changed hands was not !
large. Some lew bets woro mudo even on tho i
Maid against Ridley.
At tho sound of the horn, they all appeared on
the track, looking in fine condition, tho Maid and
Ridley, apparently none t he worse for their contest,
two rnilo boats, on At ednosdny. At the word they
were all off', Red Eye having the inside, the Maid |
second and Ridley third. Red Eye immediately I
tookthelead, tho others following very close on !
his heels, and kept it beyond the half mllo stand ? J
in the third quarter the Maid challenged, locked :
and po -se l him, but her triumph was only tem
porary, as ho out footed, with great apparent ease,
coming to tho stand the first mile ahead. They
entered the second mile all woll up together, and
a most animated and exciting contest was kept up
throughout the mile, sometimes all apparently
locked, but they came to tho Judges’ Stand in the
same position as at the eloso of the second mile.
Tho race, on entering tho third milo, was full of
interest, as both ins competitors were all the while
close on his heels, and the third milo was run
1 pretty much as the second, though not altogether
, so closely contested. The fourth and last milo was
i now began, without any change of position—iuthe
• first quarter of which, Ridley let down in loth
foie legs, and gave up the contest—the Maid fol-
I lowing her gallant competitor throughout the mile,
l who came in an easy winner in 8:01. It was very
appaientthat she was unable to make him run
on any part of tho last milo or the heat.
, Alter this heat tho Maid was withdrawn and the
3 purse awarded to Red Eye.

o After the main race, there was a colt stake for th ree
3 year olds, mile heats, S2OO ontranco, to which there
' were seven entries ; only two of which started —
e Or if Edm nelson, and Col. Carter’s b. f., by Ep
o silou—the other fivo pajing forfeit. Or if was tho
3 favorite at long odds, and three and four to one
‘ r were ireely laid that he would win the race. The
knowing ones were “ particularly sweet" on him,
and so certain did they consider the thing, that
they laid every dollar they could, at these odds.
~ The mare was entirely unknown, and Griff had
1 made some fine races, developing a high turn of
- speed and bottom. They are both beautiful ani
mals, and were apparently in superb condition—
tho mare looking as sprightly and active as an
i Antelope. At the word they were off'at a dashing
1 rate, Griff on the inside, the mare starting far on
r the outside and behind. At tho first turn, how
, ever, he reined out from tho pole, and like an arrow
> she sped between, and in an instant taking the
lead from him, most gracefully led off at a burst of
, speed which perfectly astounded every body—in
> deed, it seemed to require all the powers of her
jockey to hold her back to him. Thus the milo
I was run; she leading every foot after she acquired
> the position, and showing often throughout the
; | heat, that she could run off' from him at any time,
| j and she came home amid shouts of applause an
easy winner iu 1 min. slLj seconds.
This was evidently what the knowing ones had
not bargained for, and their elongated faces show
] ed that they were writing themselves down as
J dots. Some of the more enterprising, however,
I set about to hedge, and .now offered to bet as long
odds on tho mare as they had previously laid on
their favorite; but the backers of Griff were
uoiong the things remembered, and their success
in hedging was very limited.
Botn animals cooled off' well, aud at tho word
were off at a cracking pace, the mare in the lead,
which she kept throughout the mile, Griff never
having been able to make her show what shecoald
do. She came to the stand an easy winner in 1:51.

Messrs. Davis and Toombs.—The Atlanta Intel
ligencer, alluding to the rumor that Secretary Davis
had challenged Mr. Toombs, very properly re
marks: We have, from tho first, regarded the
publication of Col. Davis’s letter as a silly and ridi
culous blunder on the part of Mr. Gaakill. It was
a private letter addressed to Gaskili, in answer to
a letter from him propounding certain political
questions—it did not appear before the public un
til after the State election, when no political pur
pose could have been subserved by its publication,
and the only effect of its publicity would be to
provoke a personal collision between Secretary
Davis and Senator Toombs. There was no neces
sity for its publication, and a very limited amount
of discretion and proper feeling, would have
prompted Gaskili to refrain from parading it be
fore the public.
M e publish, lor general information, tho follow
ing section of an Act, approved by the Governor,
on the 10th instant :
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted that after the
31st day of December, 1853, the Court of Common

Milledgeville, Jan. 11, 1858.
in senate.
Tho President, who was sick yesterday, appeared
this morning in the chamber and called the Senate
to order at half-past 9 o’clock.
Mr. Dabney, of Gordon, moved to reconsider the
bill rejected yesterday evening, to make execu
tions of criminals, sentenced to death, private
within the walls of the jail. Mossrs. Thomas, of
Gwinnett, and Bailey, of Whitfield, expressed
themsolves iu opposition to the motion, and it was
lost.
The following bills were introduced;
Mr. Dawson, of Greene—a bill to pardon John
D. Hull or Malous, confined in the Penitentiary for
life for murder.
Mr. Hull, of Clarke—a bill to amend the charter
of the Southern Mutual Insurance Company of
Athens, and to separate the Life department into
a distinct Company.
Also, a bill to incorporate tho Athens Steam
Company.
The report of tho Committee on the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum was read, and one hundred and
fifty copies ordered to be printed.
Mr. Moore, of Jackson, introduced a resolution
requiring the legal voters of Georgia at tho next
State election to determine whether the organiza
tion of the Supreme Court shall not be abolished,
! write on their tickets, “Court” or “no
j Court.”
Tho bill postponed tv o daysago, to incorporate a
I Company to build a railroad from Dalton, in Whit
field county, via Gadsden, on tho Coosa River, to
| somo point on the Alabama line, and there to con
! ne °f with the Internal Improvements in Alabama,
was read, and a lengthy discussion arose upon the
policy of passing this charter.
Mr. l’epe, of Wilkes, expressed himself as favor
able to the building of any road demanded by the
j wants and necessities of the people of the section
whore it. is to be constructed. He was no advocato
of monopolies, and if this road would benefit the
| counties through which itistorun, he could see
no reason for rejecting it.
Mr. Miller, of Richmond, was of the opinion that
1 would have an injurious effect, not only on the
\> estern and Atlantic Railroad, but upon other
1 roads in the State. He showed that the proposed
■ railroad from Dalton was intended to complete the
; connection of roads in Tennessee, Virginiaand
! Alabama, making another southern lino for
1 through travel, by which the roads of those throe
Stutes would he benefited whilst those of Georgia
would be materially injured. Tho discussion was
entered into by Messrs. Stephens, Moore, Bailey
and others.
• The Bill was on the call of the yeas and nays
> passed—yens 46, nays 34. g-
The Bill to protect persons ougaged in the Tur
pentine business, was read a third time. Dr.
Holmes of Early, showed that such a measure was
absolutely necessary as a protective measure for
the people of Southwestern Georgia. It was the
a practice down there to burn the woods to the great
3 injury of those employed in obtaining Turpentine,
and he thought this should bo stopped.
An act to incorporate the Georgia and Florida
Steamboat Company, was read and passed.
The Bill to admit Sheriffs Deeds as evidence in
i n , .
Courts of justice, was read a third time and re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
, The Bill to amend the Constitution in regard to
the distribution of Intestate Estates, so as to put
j widows on an equality with children, was read
j, and passed.
The Senate then adjourned.

j In the House of Representatives, this morning,
the following bills were introduced :
j Mr. Harrison, of Chatham—a bill to incorporate
tho Exchange Bank in the city of Savannah; also,
j a bill repealing an aot limiting the jurisdiction of
3 the city of Savannah, concerning the regulation of
f the Market; also, a bill changing tho name of the
Marino and Insurance Bank of the State of Geor
r to the Marine Bank of Georgia, and giving the
Directors power to increase their capital at ary
I time to a sum not exceeding two millions of dol
lars; also, a bill incorporating the Young Ameri

The bill appropriating four thousand dollars to

was the subject of some discussion. The bill was
finally passed.
Tho bill appointing new Commissioners for
Ogeecbee River, passed.
Tho Houso then adjourned till 8 o’clock.
In the afternoon, the Speaker rose and delivered
a decision upon tho question raised in regard to
the bill introduced by Mr. Young, of Union,
whether it is permissible to introduce a bi l con
taining the same subject matter as was contained in
an amendment to a bill previously rejected. Tho
Speaker decided that it was admissible, on the
ground that an amendment is not a bill or ordi
nance, aud that is what is included in the clause of
the Constitution, as matter which may not be
brought before tho House aftor being once re
jected.
The House proceeded to read bills a second time
till the hour of adjournment.
A horrible tragedy took place here this aftor
noon about live o’clock, two young men had a
slight difficulty in front of McComb’s Hotel, in
regard to somo circumstances that had previously
taken place when playing Faro. The ono was
named Ralston, from Macon, the other Hunt, from
Albany. The latter charged the forrnor with
doing something to injure him, tho former pro
nounced him a liar, when Hunt shot him through
the heart in an instant with a “ Colt’s Repeater.”
110 died in about ton minutes—Hunt run for
about a milo, was pursued and caught, and is now
in tho hands of the Magistrates.
This melancholy affair happening here in tho
public streets in open day, has produced a great
excitement in Millodgeville, and is certainly an
illustration of the injurious effect of exercising tho
pardoning power, in cases where the crime has
boen fully substantiated without justification.
Georgia.
[We submit to the Legislature, whether it would
not be a great saving of time, labor and expense,
to pardon Hunt at once. The ridiculous farce of a
trial would bo avoided, and the friends of Hunt
saved much anxiety of mind. Come gentlemen
jail deliverers, get your sympathies stirrod up and
try your hands at a pardon. No difference
whether he has been convicted or sentenced—it is
an extraordinary occasion, and you should call
into exercise some extraordinary powers. Besides
you affect to be for economy and reform, and this
will only be carrying out your preferred principles,
you may save the country the expense of a trial,
and may reform tho people by teaching them that
to protect their own lives and the good order of
society, they should assign such Legislators to
private station—you are certainly unworthy of any 1
public position, unless it be the notoriety which *
should attach to you.— Ed. Chron. & Sent.] ]

Life in Milledgeville—Another Letter from Quip.
“The powers that be” having communed with
their much respected constituency, have returned
to the scene of their labors, and are once more
engaged in tho laudable occr pation of devising
means to develop, encourage and foster the ram
pant genius of the sovereignty of the Empire State
of the South. Allah ! Achabar ! as the Turks say,
Georgia is a great State, and the General Assem -
bly is ah ’ Mr. Editor, I just leave you to guess.
lam serious, sir, 1 assure you—only contemplate
the matter before this dignified and' meritorious
body, and you can form some idea of thejHcrculean
task before them.
First, a mighty party is in power and must be
retained there if possible, by carefully framing the
laws so as to leave no assailable point, to a wily
and determined foe, by rewarding zealous and de
voted friends with the patronage of government,
by crushing enemies, curbing tho refractory, sooth
ing the disaffected and reducing to practice the
great principles ot unity and harmony. Is this a
light task?
In tho second place, the mighty Rail Road influ
ence, which is causing itself to bo felt in the coun
sels of tho State, must receive due attention and
consideration, that the onward impulse it may
receive, shall have that direction which will render
tributary to the interests of Georgia, the whole
world and “the rest of mankind.” Conflicting
interests ate to be reconciled—tho mountains must
tender tho olive branch of peace to the rice fields
ot tho seaboard—the cotton plains of Middle and
Southwestern Georgia must bear the flag of truce
to the pine barrens and obstruction-locked water
communications of the East, that the “manifest
destiny” of Georgia may bo fulfilled. Is that easily
done ?
In the third place, that nost delicate of all mat
ters, tho momentous subject of taxation —what a
world of thought clusters around the word?—is to
bo handled in the most prudent manner. Those
who have heretofore paid no tax comparatively
speaking, are to be persuaded to give it ns a dona
i Lor to the rising genius of Georgia; while those
who have good-naturedly paid all the taxes, aro to
be reasoned out of tho stupid eagerness they have
displayed to return to the same old system ot
! things. This, ono would think, was a very easy
task. Our legislators will, however, find it one of
I the most difficult, they will be culled upon to en
i counter.
I In the fourth place, tho interests of the State are
: to be looked after and considered. Its social,
s moral, intellectual, physical and religious condition
i is to be carefully inquired into and advanced. You
i aro now doubtless ready to exclaim, why this is the
7 solo duty and business of the Legislature, and
what is now engaging their attention. You were
i never more mistaken iu your life. A lew old
Fogies—men of another age perhaps—doubtless
- take this view of their constitutional obligations,
. but “Young America” and “manifest destiny,”
* rule the passing hour.
r Aud last of all, but by far the most important
3 to each individual legislator, some local measure
t must receive the sanction of legislative authority,
, in order that capital may be furnished to trade or
in the next legislative campaign. Each legislator
i must have a certificate ofserip, which will author
ize him to draw upon the legislative funds of the
l session of 1853 and 1854, as it stands upon the
- Statute book of the State. It is so comfortable to
tho feelings, not to say gratifying to the pride, to
> bo able to point to the Acts of the General Assem
t bly and say, “ I introduced that bill!” What an
1 heir-loom in the family, to have it to say in after
times, “ Pa was in the Lewislature, and made the
Legislature change Billy Swipes’ name to Billy
Labum.” Great nation this, greater people, how
, ever, aud wo will only think the rest as com
plements might make seme blush.
3 Now, sir, you will be, doubtless, ready to ex
, claim, why ! what has all this to do with “ Life in
f Millodgeville?” Very much, lassuroyou, so far as
f tho sessions of the Legislature are concerned. To
I satisfy yourself, turn to the Acts of 1851 and 1852,
and select those subjects embraced in tho first,
3 second, third and last propositions of this article,
r and see how many will be left to come under the
- fourth proposition. The examination will doubt
- less startle you, and yet this is life in Milledgevillo.
They are schemed, planned and executed here, and
• go to make up the bulk of business transacted by
tho Legislature. Life here is one of activity and
f bustle, one of constant scheming, intriguing, plan
i ning, devising, arranging and executing, and like
incidental protection in tariff operations, the ad
i vancement of tho interests of the State only grow
- out of these measures incidentally as it were. A
disinterested spectator of the great struggle going
1 on between the contending parties, lam ready to
3 exclaim, vive la bagatelle!
s By-the-bye, His Excellency, the Governor, has
( gotten himself ir.to a pretty muss, on account of the
- Caudle style of his “recess protest.” He has doubt
less, ere this, discovered he has ventured into a
> field whero few laurels are to bo gained. Ilia Ex
, cellency has not a very winning way about him, nor
is he more popular than ten men ought to be.
s And whether his recent move upon the recess
question will add to this most desirable qualifica.
s tionsofa would-be public man, is a mooted ques
tion, which Governor Johnson will have the
i pleasure of discussing with the Legislature. In
[ addition to this, a very recent appointment haß not
\ given entire satisfaction to his friends, so the
Governor’s bark is likely to be favored with a
stormy sea and a tempestuous sky; so rig the
pumps and stand by to cut clown tho masts, lest
the old ship founder in the gale, and perchance,
enough of us passengers may be saved in the long
boat to bring the old hulk into port, refit and get
another captain. Quip.
