MACON, G A . MORNING, JAN 13, 1849. City Election. The following is the result of the election for Mayor and Aldermen, held in this city on Satur day last : /’or Mayor, GEORGE M. LOGAN, 300 THOMAS I*. STUBBS, 217 For Aldermen, THOMAS J. SHINHOESER, O. G. SPARKS, J. B. AYRES, WILLIAM DIBBLE, B. F ROSS, J W.BABCOCK, W. B. CARHART, W. COLLINS. Clerk and Treasurer, A. R. FREEMAN (fJ’At the election on Saturday last Messrs. E. E. Knows and E. C. Grasnis were elected Jus tices of the Peace of the 716th District, G. M- F. F. Lewis was elected Constable, and there was a tie between 1). Ralston and 11. F. Shaw for the same office. In the 564th District, David Reid and M. N. Birch were elected Justices of the Peace, and J. EAXsand VV. Aderhold Constables. Jj’Wo inadvertently omitted to mention in our last, that Messrs. Thomas Hardeman, Dan iel F. Clark, James W.

At the same time Benjamin Russell was elected Receiver of Tax Returns ; and Richard Bassett Tax Collector. Enst Tennessee an<l Georgia Itnilro.ul. The attention of the reader is directed to the very interesting Report of the President of this company submitted to the stockholders at a meet ing held at Athens, Tenn ,on the Ist inst. At the same time an election for nine Directors to manage the affairs of the Company for the year 1849, took place ; and a resolution was adopted sanctioning entirely the contract entered into some time since with Gen. Duff Green to com plete the road from Chattanooga to Knoxville. The Knoxville Tribune, of the 9th inst. states that this action of the Stockholders has already given confidence in that section that the Road will be speedily commenced and completed—the agent having already arrived there, and Gen. Green was daily expected, who was in Charles ton on the 39th ult. on business connected with the interests of the company, and his proposi tion had been submitted to Col Gadsden by the South Carolina Railroad Company, with in structions to confer w ith the Georgia Railroad Company, that the two Companies may act in concert in aid of the construction of the road. Meeting nt Thomutou. Attention is called to the proceedings of a public meeting, (without distinction of party, vve presume), held on the 4th inst., at Thomaston. We approve of t lie object of tho mootin''. Primary assemblies of the people to present consider and mature plans for the protection o. their sacred rights, have a great moral influence upon those who seek to trespass upon them.— But if tiiero is only a partial movement made thus by the people, to check aggression, the moral effect is cither wholly lost or becomes an occasion of more determined and open boldness on the part of the aggressor. This consideration should full with weight on every Southern heart, at the present critical moment. Shall we, or shall we not, as a unit, respond to the proceed ings alluded to ? . While we heartily concur, too, in the sentiments expressed by the citizens of Upson, wo think the South them'd rcasc the expression of opinion. Our views and determinations are as well known to the North as their mad fanaticism is palpaple to ourseives. Let. us now act, tiirougn our Rep resentatives, who ure altogether identified with us in feeling and interest, ami w ho will faithful ly repel violence to the one and sacredly pre serve, the other. The final political triumph or overthrow of Southern equality in the Union is rapidly ap prorchiug. If overthrown, we shall not have sustained an ignominious overthrow—but the right will have been crushed by the tyranical power of numbers. And if tlie firm front our Representatives have presented to our enemies, cannot check tiieir fanaticism, moral influence can do no more in arrest of their purpose. Tlie decision of tho question at issue is so near at hand that we will not venture to express an opinion in regard to tho probability of its satis factory adjustment, or otherwise. If it is thus adjusted, we will rejoice that the Union is pre served . if determined against the South, we have the physical power and the will to protect our selves, and resources, energy and wisdom enough to plant us on the topmost heights of wealth, fame and honor, as an Independent Re public. tLj’Tvvo old and respectable citizens ofSavan nah, viz: Messrs. Matthew Hopkins and Irederick Densler, have died in that city during the present week. tCTTIic New York Legislature is now in ses sion. Gov. Fish defines bis principles distinct ly > •■flu makes some important suggestions in re n ard to modifying the criminal code, as bear ing upon the power of the Executive to grant pardons, and recommends tbc establishment of schools for teaching youth, in the principles of agricultural science, and the mechanical arts. o Governor is an out-and-out Free Soiler, and opposed to the extension of slavery upon one °"t of the lerritory belonging to the Union mre it does not already exist (Tj'Gapt.

F PACKKR -rl>em.) has been elected LvTvanla 0 ™ 10 ° f ßepresentatives ofPenn- Georgin.-Hcr Present and Prospective Po sition-- II er Resources. Hundreds of the tradesmen, artizans and farm ers ot those States whose population lias become so dense that one can scarcely find ‘ elbow room ’ in which competition has reduced the profits of trade below a living, the industrious laborer’s reward to half as much, and whose lands arc nearly or quite exhausted—are bound 4 West ward, ho !’ But we content ourselves with the belief that Georgia is not inferior, in anv partic ular, to the great far West It is the new feature of a country that a'tracts the footsteps of the adventurer. Our State has the advantages of being both new and old Cher" okee Georgia, the fertility of wiiose soil has gathered a dense population lo it with a rapidity unparalleled in the history of the State, lias been but a few years reclaimed from the Indians.— And there are other portions of the State, yet unexplored, where in a few years population will teem in busy life. But Georgia lias advantages over the great far \\ pst-in being old, as well as new ; and when we shall properly weigh these advantages, they "’ill n °t appear of light importance. From a torpid state, she has been warmed into active, vigorous life, by the application of steam and electricity. Iler Railroads and Magnetic Tele graphs Irom her circumference pierce to her cen tre j and vi 11 ages, towns, cities, have been steam ed and electrified into existence, some—others, into renewed life, activity and prosperity. Add ed to all this, the popular mind has been, and still is, aroused to the great importance of the thorough education of her children, both male and female, and hence she lias her schoo sand colleges equalling the best. Here, vve have all the facilities of communication and travel enjoy ed by the most advanced of our sister States, and soon our systems of education will compare with their best models. Such advantages the new re gions of the West, beyond the present limits of the States, will not possess for years to come. Now, we are not so unselfish as to wish all those who are, or will be, 100 ing towards 4 sun down ' for new homes, to take ‘a sober second thought ’ and immigrate to Georgia ; nor me we prepared to plead guilty to the charge of being so selfish as not to wish a few of the 4 choice spirits’ of our sister States to bend their foot steps in this direction Georgia presents induce ments for men of almost every State. Here, the Jerseyinan and Pennsylvanian may grow their grains—the Knickerbocker his cabbage—the Ohioan Ilia swine—the Virginian his tobacco— the North Carolinian produce his tar, pitch and terpentine—the South Carolinian his rice—and last, though not least, brother Jonathan may here make as much molasses,and grow as many pumpkins, as will dew him his lifetime. But we hold out no inducements to those who have caught the 4 yellow fever.’ We are eclipsed nt present by the luminous rays of the star Califor nia ; though the glare of our star, before the eclipse, was somewhat relieved by a few golden lines—no one of which, however, if it could he fobbed, would equal the value of a third-interest in 4 a good hole,’ in California parlance. Os all the Southern States, Georgia is advanc ing tiie most rapidly towards greatness. The present price of her great staple is throwing cap ital tiiat would otherwise be used in the cotton trade into other channels, and diverting her la bor to more lucrative objects. And in a few years, manufacturing establishments will rapidly spring up along her streams and in her cities, and foreign markets will be supplied with her fabrics, grains and meats. Steamship Georgia. —The N. York Herald states that the steamship Georgia, one of Mr. Law’s mail line of steamers, to run between New York, Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans and Cliagres, is 2,750 tons burthen and launched in September last. She will run in connection with the steamship Ohio, of 2,700 tons, in Mr. Law’s mail line to Cliagres. More Gold. —The Dahlonega Watchman states that Mr. Henry Ashury, a gold miner from North Carolina, lias made some interesting discoveries. About two months since he arriv ed at the Valley of Nacoocliee, and upon a brief examination discovered some veins ; from there lie came to Major Logan’s and after some exam ination he made a very interesting discovery on a lot belonging to Major Logan. One of the veins is in a very large hill ; the vein extending about one quarter of a mile. The ore will ave rage one dwt. to tho bushel, the vein being from three to four feet thick. The other vein is in a small hill, about one hundred yards in length and eighteen inches in width. Some of the ore in tiiis vein will make 10 dwts. to the bushel— Hie average is about 3 dwts. Mr. Ashury has tested the latter vein to the depth of forty feet and is at water level. These are interesting discoveries. Mr. Ashury considers the mines in this country equal ifnot superior to those in North Carolina lie contemplates visiting the mines about Dahlonega soon and making similar examinations, lie uses a mill of a very differ ent construction from those used here, which are thought to be much superior. dj’Tbe Marietta Helicon gives the following cheering account of the wbcut crop: Wo were travelling several days last week in ibis and an adjoining county, and had an opportunity of see ing many crops of wheat, in relation to which three things struck us as worthy of remark.— The first was the large quantity sown, the sec ond the choice appearance of the land, and third the fine appearance of the wheat. We have no recollection of ever having seen at this season of the year, so fluttering a prospect as the present one. Gen. Twiggs. —The St. Louis New Era, of the 22d ult. says: “We are gratified to learn that Gen. Twiggs, the hero of Cerro Gordo, reached this city last evening from New Orleans. This gallant officer will assume the command of thisdivision of the Army—and to no more worthy hands could the duty have been as- j signed.” (EJ’S92,O9Q worth of stock has been taken at LaGrange for the Atlantic Si.

Pine Trees. 44 A homely subject, this, for editors to fatigue their readers with.” Yes, very—altogether Aomely,asthe sequel will prove. But if our renders have ever been compelled to travel from this city to Florida, we venture to say their slumbers, for a month thereafter, were troubled with visions of tall pines by the untrammelcd fancy transformed into the stalwsrt sons of An ack, waving the huge war-club above their lie.xds, —suddenly relieved, it may he, by a change of scene—the tall wire-grass, distorted into charg ing colmnnsof American soldiers, the sered and scattered palmetto representing the flying ‘yel low-skins,’ —and tlie brilliant deeds of Monte rey, or Cero Gordo, have again covered our arms with glory. But there is something more substantial than visions, connected with the almost interminable forest of pines between tlie points mentioned. For this reason, we wish to call particular atten tion to them. In tlie course of time, — in a very few years, it is hoped,—these pines will have become a great source of wealth to our State. Already have they arrested the attention of a few of her enterprising citizens. And since the death of tlie pines in North Carolina, some of tlie citizens of that State have visited tlie pine lands on tlie St. Marys, and have satisfied them selves of their equal productiveness to those of North Carolina. And those of our own citizens who have made experiments, found the yield of terpentine to have exceeded their most sanguine expectations. Here, then, is a vast field for tile accumulation of wealth open to the enterpris- ing. Some of the citizens of Florida have turned their attention to the production of terpentine. Mr. Bcmis (ex-State Comptroller) has been very successful in his experiments, on the St. Marks. Others, on the St. Johns, have found no difficul ty in producing the article. We indulge the expectation that the large tract of pine country south of us, and lying be tween the Chattahoochie and the const, will in a short time be rendered valuable to the State at large, as well as a source of wealth to hun dreds of her citizens. If we are indulging a pleasing vagary, it is hoped we are not singular in it. U. S. Supreme Court has affirmed the decisiou of the Circuit Court in the Rhode Island Dorr case. They therefore, have decided in fa vor of the regular government of Rhode Island and against the insurgents. [frit is stated that Messrs. Harper,of N.York, paid one hundred guineas a volume to Mr. Ha cauley, P>r proof copies of his new History of England ; by m hieli ajrangement they will he the first to publish this work in the U. S. Thrce Days Eater from Europe. \\ c learn from the Charleston Courier that the steam ship Washington, arrived at New A ork on Monday last, bringing Liverpool dates to the 19th ult. It was supposed that Gen. Cavaignac will sub mit with good will to the wishes of the people, as indicated by the elevation jf Louis Napoleon to the Presidency ofthe Frencli Republic, and will tender his services to President elect. Other opinions, however, are expressed, and re ports are current that he will retire from public life altogether. At the latest advices, Paris was in a state of tranquility. Marshal Bugeaud is to command the Army of the Alps, and Oudinot is to go as Ambassador to Russia. It is admitted that Louis Napoleon has receiv ed 5,500,000 votes, Cavaignac 1,500,000, and the remainiug candidates half a million between them. The news from the Continent was not of much interest. Tlie Hungarians were determined, as is stated, to make a bloody resistance to Austria, but no engagement had taken place. A disposition was evinced on the part of the German Assembly to re-open negotiations with Austria, and a proposition to that effect was made in the Assembly, but negatived by a vote of 121 majority. The Austrian Deputies would proba bly resign. The Assembly was much disturbed by conflicting views and interests. The special French Envoy to Rome had re turned to Paris, and reported that the Popo had concluded to take refuge in Paris. All was qui et in Rome, and a Provisional Government was about to be established, but it was believed that the great powers would interfere, and take part in tho settlement of the affairs ofthe Popish Do minion. The Pope has been deprived of all tempera power. In an address of the Minister to the people, the ground is taken that the Pope cannot return except under the title of Bishop of Rome, and Cardinals and Prelates will he strictly pro hibited from re-entering tlie city. Great enthu siasm prevailed among the people,and they were running through the streets, crying ‘‘Death to the Pope,” and “Death to Cardinals.” Italian affairs were in much disorder. An Italian league was in contemplation, which was likely to give umbrage to Austria, and would probably result in bloody consequences. Anew Cabinet was to he formed in Sardinia by the direction of Charles Albert. Berlin was' tranquil. A Russian fleet had made its appearance off Trieste, Waive the Venetians into submission, i Tlie Hungarians were burning their towns,! and laying wasle theircountry, in order todes- j troy the invading army by cold and starvation. The Emperor of Russia had positively refu- J sed to acknowledge the Spanish Queen and the Spanish Ambassador had left St. Petersburg in ! consequence. England. —Parliament has been prorogued to | tlie first of February. In Ireland, the trial of Duffy was still in pro- j gress. The Chief Justice had refused to allow I ilie publication of the reports until the trial was j ended. Cotton. —Willnter & Smith’s Times states | that on Saturday, the 16th ult. the day the Euro pa sailed, the transactions in Cotton were some- | vvliat checked by the rates demanded j by holders. On Monday following, the sales j execeeded those of any day during the year.— j The demand was unusually brisk, and the more I common kinds of American were somewhat.— dearer. In the better grades, however from 4d. upwards buyers had a better opportunity to choose out ofthe recent importations, they being freely offered, ns yielding a tempting profit to ; the holder. Surats were in good request at steady prices, while Brazils went off at dearer rates. Tlie sales of Monday, the 18th ult., amounted to from 11 to J 2,000 hales, as follows: 700, Egyptian at4|tosj; 700 Maranhams at 3j io -l.j the residue at prices ranging from 3J to 44 prin cipally at 3J to 4£. Breadstcffs Flour lias declined one shil ling per barrel. In Corn there Ins been no change in price, and tlie market was in a quiet state Money Affairs. —Tlie share market had im proved, and at the latest advices there were j more buyers than could he supplied by those having stocks on sale. At the closing of trans- | actions the market was in a buoyant state. (UrTlie Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier under date of January 2, states that the Sub-Committee, appointed by the Committee ofSouthern Members, to report at the meeting of the Isth of January, consists of Mr. Calhoun, of S. C.; Mr- Clayton, of Del.; Mr. King, of Ala.; Mr. Uayly, of Va. ; and Mr. Morehead, of Ivy. A more judicious committee could not be selected—two Whigs hnd two Democrats, and Mr. Calhoun who stands aloof from both parties. Mr Calhoun will draw up the report, and if the sub-committee agree to it, I presume that the general committee will con cur in it, aid that the meeting will adopt and promulgate it. I have little doubt that the report will present principles upon which every true friend of the Union can stand, and which will meet with gen eral acquiescence from the country. It may settle the question for some time to come. I have never witnessed more of good feeling among the members of Congress of all sections than was manifested yesterday in the cordial greetings upon the opening of anew year. A larger concourse of persons than usual waited upon the President and his family, and upon the Secretaries and other officials. Mrs. Madison’s house was the most favorite place of resort.— This venerable lady looks remarkably well, and converses with her wonted cheerfulness and in telligence. O’Tlie amount of Treasury notes outstand ing on the Ist of January was $10,532,989 31.

THE SLAVERY WUKSTIOJC. At a preliminary meeting of a few of the citi zens of Upson, in Thomaston, on Thursday, the 4th inst., Thomas F. Bethel, Esq., was selected as Chairman, and Dr. John B. Kendall, Secre tary ; and after the object of the meeting was made known, the following preamble and rcsolu- I tions were submitted by O. C. Gibson, and sec onded by D. P. Evans, and unanimously adopt | ed : Inasmuch as we regard tlie movements lately | enacted in the House of Representatives in Con gress utterly reckless of our rights as free, inde pendent and equal citizens of the Republic : Resolved, That forbearance towards tlie anti slavery movements ceases with us to be a virtue. Resolved, That we believe the institution of slavery, as it exists in the United States, has con summated great good both to the white and the black man, and, therefore, Resolved, That we will not submit to be de graded into inequality and inferiority on account of it, and that we hold ourselves in readiness promptly to receive and adopt any suitable re commendations from our Representatives in Con. gress, to maintain, at all hazards, their views ; and, Resolved, That we respectfully invite the citi zens of Upson to meet in Thomaston on Satur day, the 27th inst., to respond to the action of our members in Congress. And on motion of T. D. A. Weaver, Esq., Resolved. That a copy of these proceedings he forwarded to our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and that the Journal &. Messenger, and Telegraph, in Macon, be requested to pub lish them. And on motion of J. J. Cary, Esq., Resolved, That the meeting adjourn. TIIOS. F. BETHEL, Chairman. J B Kendall, Sec’ry.
