To His Excellency,
Josi i>n K. Brov s, Governor of Georgia :
Sir In compliance with your rtejutst convey
ed to us through Ur. M. .) Gallagher and Captain
J. D. Uelannoy, we, in preeene-e of several other
geutiemeu, made a trial of the respective qualities
of a breach-:oadicg r lie, invented and patented
by Dr Gallagher and Mr. Win. 11. Gladding, of
S&vanuau, Geoigia. and as a Sharp's liitie of the
latest manufacture.
We had a trial target made of twelve thick
ness of inch plank, with an inch space between
each, and of four shots fired by the Gallagher Rifle
with a charge of 31 grains of powder, and a ball
weighing 38f grains. One shot perforated nine
thicknesses, two perforated eleven thicknesses, and
one penetra'ed the twelfth plank. The Sharp’s
rifle with (X) grains of oowder, and a ball weighing
458 grains, perforaten with one ball four pianks,
two shots perforated five planks, and one seven
planks. A Minnie musket wei also fired with a
charge of EJ grains of powder, and a bail weighing
710 grains, and with two shots perforated the entire
12 thicknesses, and fell behiaa .he target.
From this experiment v.e ere c impelled to give
the preference at once to the Ga Itgher rdle a- wo
believe would any unprejudiced mind, for the
simple reason that, wi h a charge of little more
than ore half of that of the bh&rp'a rifle, it eeut its
balis through almost double the resistance
And when we compare the principle of the Galla
gher breech, together with its method of priming,
With that of thebbaip's, the superiority of the brat
is so clearly shown, tha' vve have no he#i*ation,
that in point of force, simplicity of construction,
liability to g t out of order, or accumulation of
dirt, certainty of fire, celerity of loading, eecurity
from accident, and indeed every point necessary
for durability and efficiency, the Gal.agher gun is
far superior to any breech loading fire arm we
have ever seen.
We have the honor to be sir, very respectfu ly
your obedient servants.

Dear Sir : The report made to me by Gen. Mc-
Connell aDd Capt Jones, after a trial of yout Rifle,
is quite satielactory, and I regret that you have not
*meh numbers now manufactured, as to enable you
to furnieb a supply lor cur rifle corps immediately.
The object ot ti e General Assembly in making the
appropriation, seems to have been to afford an
early eupply of arms to our vciauteer corps, and as
you are not prepared to furnish such supply within
the time which seem* to have been contemplated
by the Legislature, I can make no engagement for
a future eupply. As your gun is a Georgia in
vention, and is, I have no doubt, a very superior
fire-arm, I trust our General Assembly will at a
future session make provision for encouraging the
manufacture of this arm, within the limits of our
own State. Ido not doubt that it is the true poli
cy of the State to eupply herself with sufficient arms
of the very b-s - quality to enable her people to
meet promptly ai y emergency, and t-j make their
arms upon her •• * n soil. I regret that the General
Assembly did rot :J; U prompt action hr ine es
taorisi T»Mi'. «-f. Foan-iry to rnacu ac u. e arms in
this State, and hopeti it another session of the
Gene.a. Ae eon . / wi! not h'jjurn without pro
viding the ui.( -ra y riesns for tha*' purpose. I
have no doubt u&t the wish of our people is to be
fully supplied with arms, and that they would much
prefer to have them made in Georgia. 1 take plea
sure in enclosing t<» you a copy of the Report
above mentioned Recent events have, I think,
satisfied the Southern people that it is wise for
them to arm I have but little high
sounding speeches aud resolutions. We must meet
aggression in future by energetic preparation and
prompt action
The L-gielature which places your “Georgia
Rifle” or some < ther tirat rate tire arm iu the bauds
of every person in the State qualified to do military
duty, will have done more to protect the South
against aggression than has been done by all the
Resolutions of its predecessors.
The “argument” is already “exhausted.” Let
us have r.o more compromises. And if the lull
measure of our rights is desired in future, Ist us
“stand by our arms.”
Very respectfully,

FRIDAY MORNING DEC. 30, 1559.
Tlie President’ll Message.
The lergth of the Message, which we publish
this morning, precludes extended comment, even
had we deemed it neceeeary, and we do not, as it
wiii be generally read, and each reader will form
his own conclusions. It is characterized by the
usual ability of Mr. Buchanan, aud is remarkable
for its extraordinary suggestion, to appropriate a
portion of Mexican Territory to our use, to liqui
date a debt of ten millions of dollars, which the
President alleges Mexioo owes citizens of the
United States! W-he-wll Such a suggestion
may coincide w.th the views of those who vindicate
the principles set forth in the Ostend Manifesto, but
we opine will shock the moral honesty of those who
properiy appreciate the rights of property, and the
rights of a weak and distracted people. The sug
gestion is discreditable to him who makes it, and is by
no means calculated to elevate his standard of moral
honesty, iu the estimation ot correct thinking men.
We uoufes3 we feel a deep sense of hu inflation
when we reflect that such a suggest iou emanates
from arnau who tills the Chief Executive Chair of
tuis great nation. Reduced to its simp's element?,
it is nothing more or less than the law of the high
wayman.
When we shall have read the Message carefully
we may note other suggestions as worthy of com
ment. If so, we shall not hesitate iu the perform
ance of our cuty to the oountry.
\\ k are under obligations to the Adam 3 Express
Company for the reception of an eariycopy of the
President’s Message.
The editors of the Richmond Dispatch also have
our thanks for special favors.
Resignation of the State Treasurer.— We
learn by a private letter from Miiledgeville, says
the Constitutionalist , that John B. Tiippe, Esq.,
the Treasurer of the State, low resigned his office,
in consequence of ill-health, and that the Governor
has appointed Capt. John Jones, formerly of Polk,
but now of Baldwin county, to succeed him. Mr.
Tr.ppe has been confined to his house by sickness,
f * nearly a mouth past, and during that time the
duties of his office have been performed by au
A-rietaut, and by the Comptroller General. We
leara that he is improving slowly, and hope that
his heallh wili be completely restored. He has
been elected for three terms to the office which be
has just resigned.
YY hy was it not Vetoed ?—We find the follow
ing Act among those compiitd and published by
Col. Waters, bee. of the Executive Department—
in pamphlet 'oun The publication proposes to
contain the “Put lie Laws of Georgia,’’ prised at
the late eessiou of the Legislature :
(No. 30.)

tion tor county officers. Judges ot the Superior

With the conetuu iooai notions ventilated curing
the la.e session, it is not surprising that such a bill
should have passe t, but it is difficult to guess its
objec t. Os the officers mentioned in the Act, to bs
annually ilccted after 1862, the Judges of the Su

understand is for New Orleans. A few weeks more,
with the same demand, will rid us of most of the better
grades of cotton; in tue mean time the lower grades are
being neglected, and the stock permitted to accumulate
As the season advaucos we note an iatrease in diity
cotton, which, at present, is almost untaleab’e to thip
pors.
Receipts f ,r the week are 4767 bales, b. iug 351 in ex
cess of the corresponding week of last j ear. The total
re .eipts are 6,403 bales less than last year. We are still
unable to report any inipivvomeat iu r. ceipts of the
Mobile and Girard Railroad. 'The accumulations of
cot,on at the depots on this road, awaiting transpjrta
tion to tt is ma’-ket, are large, and could it be delivered
du rmg the next few weeks, will swell the total receipts
beyond those of the previou i year.
Shipments have been 4 130 bales, of which 2 564 bales
have gone to Apalachicola, 70J bales to Montgomery,
and the remainder, 1,806 bales, per Muscogee Railroad.
The river continues in due boating order. The difficul
ty or haying c jtton delivered at someof our wrrelmuscs
rather increases than otherwise. This has prevented
the execution of some orders which might otherwise
have been fitted, if there was any promise of getting the
cotton over after a delay of a week.

SUPER PHOSPHATE is manufactured. This Manure
has been used m South Carolina for several years past,
with great success in the culture of Cotton and Corn,

experiment.

ATHENS, GA , Nov. 22, 1852.
Dear Sir : Rhodes’ Super-Phosphate baa been app ied
by me this year, on a small scale, to both Corn and
Cotton. The result exceeded my expectation, although
the experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could
cot be conducted with due camion; yet, I am entirely
satisfied, that the growth of weed, in both instances, and
. the fruit in corn, and in the number of bolls of cotton,
were fully double the yield in the portions unmanured,
and this when only a table-spoonful of the Superphos
phate was applied as a top-dressing to each hill of ccrn,
and a tea spoonful to each stak of cotton—and the last
as late in the season as the lsth of July. Some of the
weed grew to cine feet, high, with six feet branches,
covered with bolls, wh le the unmanured was not half so
good. It is my intention, next year, to test it more
fnlly. Very respeetfu’ly,
Your most ob't serv’t,
(Signed) M. 0. M. HAMMOND.
UNION POINT, (G. R. R.) Nov. 23. 1859.
Messrs. J. A. Ausley &. Co. :
Gents.—l nought a ton of Rhodes’ Super Phosphate in
Baltimore, last Spring, through Mr. H. D. Leitnei, of
Berzelia, to test its value as a Manure. I put about 125
tos. on an acr j . es cotton, in the drill, on land that would
not makeover 75 to 100 tbs. of seed cotton per acie,
without manure. The result is entirely satisfactory, i
have made at least from 450 to 500 Itss. to the acre on
this very poor land. I expect to purchase from 5 to 8
tons for my Spring crop. My Overseer wishes me to
put his name to this also.
