declined the arduous trust. Under these
circumstances, I commenced the duties of
the office, relying ort the liberality of my
ffHowkili/.erflr, for a generous allowance
of any errors I might commit in’ tlie dis
charge of my official duties.
On the twenty-fourth day of February

ed by the commissioners of the penitentia

VeCm-Cilitcnt «/ h' Sena*
’ and ofd!e Rente of llepeetmtntivcs,
Being appointed by the president of the
United States agent o'f Indian affairs for the
Creek nation, and having determined to
accept tiie same, I have this day resigned
the executive government »f tlie state to
the honorable tViliiam Rabun, president
of ^ senate: In doing which, permit me
to assure you, and through you my- Icllovv-
citizens generally, tliat in retiring from
the service of the state, 1 shall' carry with
me a just sense of tlicooligation which their
long continued confidence has laid me un
der, and that mjt gratitude will be as lasting
u« my life. In lire various and cmaplicat-
Lcd duties, which in the course of my public
life I have been ;cattoil upon to perform, l
iot flatter n
-ouiupt flatter myscll, tnat my c
TSeenuSXmnpt mifti error, nut my conscience
acquits me of any intentional departure-
from duty. Devofed as I have been to tlie
service of the state, and still ardently de-
»iring-t»sce her prosperous and happy, it
is a reflection which gives me much pleas
ure, that the duties of the appointment I
-Ain about to enter upoii, are so intimately
three hundred ahfl seventy-five thousand
dollars, in part paymerit of our western
lands, which had been ceded to the gener-
'al government; and about the same time,
the'trcasurer enclosed tome drafts on ihe
Planters’ Bank of this state,»ml the Bank
of New-York for that sum. These I depo
sited in otir State -. Bank for collection,
which enabled ns to pay the amount of our
subscription then diie to that bank, and
left a considerable balance, which was en
tered to the credit of the state, subject to
future appropriation. I also received^
through Mr. GiMv.I.nti, tuc award and de
cree of the commissioners appointed by vir
tue of an act of congress, tor the indemni
in •nidpi nit; ?iime t - __
the penitentiary system’’ to be in force,! lication of certain claimants ol public jainls
immediately therefore, after I came into J in the Mississippi territory, a tranetei of
office, I summoned the board of Inspectors,
and proceeded lr> make the necessary ar-
rars“einents to carry the designs of the le
gislature into operation, by appointingjhe
officers designated by law, and directed
that a guard should be enlisted will!out de
lay- In a shm t time after, tlie institution
was completely organized. Convicts .be
gan, an i have continued to arrive from sev
eral of the counties, charged with various
crimes, and sentenced by courts to
undergo different periods of confinement
and labor. These have been employed by
t-.e keeper, under the direction of the
board of inspectors, in various sorts of la
bor—such as were deemed, most expedient
under existing circumstances. Tbe com-
, ... _ plelioa .of tlie building, work shops, #tc.
If, that ipvyiiinduct fiasl notwithstandingthe iihlefatigable Exertions
of the commissioners, lias been greatly re
tarded bv the inclemency of tlie seasons.
Connected with the interest of tiie state,
thai by uScIi*
ml
the one,
the other^ will be promoted. And I em
brace the present occasion, as a lit one, to
observe, that the policy of the govern
ment of the United States, with regard to
the various Indian tribes within their boun
dary, having for ils primary object the hu
mane and benevolent purpose of meliorat
ing their condition, and impossible redeem
ing them from a savage to civil zed life,
much of the success which ought to be the
1 result, of this policy, will depend upon the
zeal ami ability with which it is executed.
In contemplating the situation of the Creek
Indians of file present day, residing within
our limits, I think it will be generally ad
mitted, that their attachment and adher
ence to the United States during the late
war with Great Britain, which not only in
volved-them in ali the horrors of a civil
war, but caused them the loss of nearly all
theif hunting grounds, entitle them in our
protection .ami regard; and to a full share
of the benefits resulting from tire benevo-
leiit.policy of our'governmfcnt. From these
considerations, and with this view of the
subject, it will, not'be expected that the ex
ecution of the laws regulating intercourse
with i!ioso_loilians. should be relaxed; so
far at least as regards the agency to which
. I have been appoint 'd, it will lie under-
«tund, that no intercourse with them, which
is Ibibidden by lav/, or which may have a
tendency to defeat or retard their improve
ment in the ats of civilized life, will be
tolerated. At the same time, for every
leg.tf object and honwit pursuit, every la-
ctiliv-iu my power will be afforded.
The objects which claimed immediate
executive attention after the adjournment
of tlrt* last legislature, have been disposed
of. ^They were such generally as depend
ed upon, or grew out of, some legislative
act tjf that session, and need not be now
particularly detailed.
I have great pleasure in assuring you,
tint the state of our finances is prosperous,
. and competent not only tosupport the an
nua! ordinary expences of the government,
but tu effect in my objects, of public utility.
Permit mo tu recu,amend, that an addi
tional sum be invested in bank stock.—
Tlie collection of the revenue arising from
funds ot this description is both sale and
< 'ea>y, \vhiist that arising from taxation is
attended with considerable expense and
- -Ibi-s. By recommending the adoption ol
tuis measure, I do not.wish it to be under-
sto'oilaS being of opinion, that the present
taxes ought to be repealed, on tlie contra
ry, it js my decided opinion, tliat they
ought to be. continued, because, tlie citi
zen is better able in time.of profound
peace and particularly under t'ie present
uup .trjiUelod'prosperity of the country, to
pay a. tax, than in time of war; we have re
cent experience upon this subject, which
I hope.we.shall pi‘oftkby. It is the su:-
plu* of yourAuuuairnveouii, or sums which
may be paid to tW'-state by t’ie United
Su(o/> w inch i propose should be invested
in oink stock-
lu j.hus addressing you, probably for the
last time in my life, permit me to assure
you of my unalterable attachment to toe
state^u wliuse service I have spent twenty-
five years of Uie prime of my life, and of
my affectionate solicitude for the prosper-
. ity and-nappiness of our citizens.

State-House, 4th.Varch, 1817.
.* JZrernrire Department, Geor-ia,
.Iftf dgmde, id .Ysvember, 1817.
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate,
and iloasa ol* Representatives:
The lute' governor Mitchell having ac
cepted tiie appointment of agent to the
Greek nation Of Indians; which had been
if conferred on hitn by tlie president of the
United States during the last winter, did
OU tile fiiurtiv day of March last, resign tlie
office of governor of this state; into my
hands as president of the senate. My
proclamation announcing (lie event and as
suming Ihe duties, was issued on that day.
I was thereforeunexpectedly, and after a
short uoUCe, called tram my domestic fire-
i side to discharge tlie functions of tills ail
important station Had not tlie constitu
tion imperiously enjoined tile perilous task
on me alone, the good sense of the comma-
^city yrould ao tfoubtf
and has rendered it very inconvenient, and
frequently hazardous, to employ them as
advantagceuslv as tliey might otherwise
have been.
The act of last session,entitled “an act to
carry into effect the penal code of this state,
and the penitentiary system founded there
on,*’ has made it the duty of the goverar, too
pay all the incidental expences that might
be necessarily incurred in carrying the
system into complete operation, but no
funds were set apart on which he was au
thorised to draw. The contingent Iund
being unable to sustain these and the usual
lemands that are made <>u it, I determin
ed to issue my warrants on the .treasury to
meet these expenses, chargeable to the
fund appropriated for the purpose of com
pleting the building. Whether my con-
ducton that occasion was justifiable or not,
your wisdom will determine. The pro
gress of this infant establishment, has al
ready excited considerable feelingthrougii-
out the s'ate. Its numerous friends have
hailed it as the harbinger of order and
peace, and as a place of deposit, for the
lawless and disobedient; while its enemies
have viewed its- approaches with tlie ex
treme regret: Many, it is understood,
have already removed without the limits of
the state, and others have avowed their in
tention ol pursuing the same course, for
tne purpose of obtaining a situation be
yond the reach of its grasp. From the ex
periments already made, 1 am persuaded
that, altbo’ considerable expense has, rfud
will for some tune, attend this institution;
yet under proper management, and at the
experience, which time will naturally af
ford, it will ere long becoip'-* a formidable
engine, in the hands of a n^ell regulated go
vernment, for the suppression oj‘ vice and.
the encouragement of virtue.
For a considerable time before and since
[ came into office, the Indians bordering
on our south-western frontiers have mani
fested a hostile disposition, by embodying
themselves, plundering from the citizens
of Camden county several hundred head of
cattle, and on tlie twenty-fourth day of
Februaiy last, a party made their appear
ance near ClarUs mills on the St. Mary’s,
and wantonly murdered a woman and her
t'Jfd children, set their dwelling house
oil lire and effected their escape with im-
punity, l'hisdistressing intelligence was
immediately communicated to this de
partment by major general Floyd, and
several other gentlemen of that neighbor
hood. Witlioutdelay I transmitted an ac
count of the same to the war department,
and eai nestly pressed the' necessity of an
adequate force beiug placed on the expos
ed froutier by the general government, in
order that protection might be afibrded to
the defenceless inhabitants who were then
flying from their homes. I also instructed
major general Floyil to order from his di
vision a sufficient lorce to repel those pjtw-
less intruders, and to inflict suitable chask
tisement on them whenever they might be
be found on our borders, until the pleasure
qf the general governinent should be know n.
Tiie acting secretary of war, in reply to
my letter, observed, that tiie subjectVas
referred u» jtujor guuoral Jackson, and
tliat the necessary protection might be ex
pected; hut unfortunately for us it has
not been afforded. We have therefore,
been under the necessity of maintaining a
detachment of our militia, on the frontier
of Camden county, for several months
past; under the direction of major Bailey
of that cuuuty. Sometime in fi>e month
of May, while the major and his party
were pursuing a large number of cattle,
winch had been driven off, they fell in with
two companies of Indians, and attacked
them with great bravery, killed several,
wounded others, put them to flight, and
returned without sustaining any loss.—
Since that period, I have not received in
formation of any damage done in tliat quar
ter by tiie Indians.
On the 8th of September, I received a
communication from m ajor general Gaines,
dated at Fort Montgomery on the 20th Ju
ly, calling' for two battalions of our militia,
to be held iu readiness, to assist him iu
reducing the Lower Creek or Seminole-
tribes to order. I immediately caused the
requisition to be complied with, and the
two battalions have been detailed and or
ganized, and are now waiting further or
ders.
iu tlie month of April last, l was notified
by Mr. Crajivtord, the secretary of thetrea-
sury of the United States; that he bat) is
sued a warrant on the treasurer,’in favor
ovenior of Geprgiaj fprihe'suin of
the nmni s which remained in oar treasury,
commonly called tlie Yazoo deposit,
amounting to one hundred and eightfljtpu
thousand, five hundf -d and fifteen d#Qars.
ninety-four ffiid a I «• cuts, in part pay-
menl’of the one miii.uii two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, stipulated to be paid
by the articles of agreement and cession
between the United States and tlie state ol
Georgia. Iu the decree of the .commission
ers before lneiuioped the interest, il any,
which may have accrued on tlie foregoing
amount, is cl -lUied in behalf ol the United
Slates. In a correspondence between tne
secretary of the treasury and myself on
the subject, I have denied that any inter
est has accrued to the United States.
In tlie act to appropriate monies lor the
political year eighteen hundred and seven
teen, it will be recollected, that the sum ol
ten tnousand dollars was set apart, uydei
tlie direction of the governor, to be equally
divided between all the widows and chil
dren, say children under fourteen years oi
age, of those cit.ziiis of this state, who
weipkilled or died in tlie service of this
slate, or the Un.ted States, during the iai
war between the United States and Gi cat
Britain and ihe Crecx Indjans; wi-h a pro
viso, that not more than ten dollars should
us given to any one individual. The time
limited by law for applications to b made
was on or before the first day ol May last
and for want of information of the exist
ence of tiie fact, a large portion of that un
fortunate class were deprived of the benefit
intended by the legislature; 1 thereior
thought proper to extend tlie time, by ai
executive order, to tne first of September
during which period, the mosj. oi iliose in
teresied, have availed themselves of the oj
purtunity, and brought in their claims
which have been paid oil', leaving a consul
viable balance suojeetto your direction
The attention of tlie legislature havin,
been so frequently called to the subject ot
improvement in our navigable water cours
es, onr public highways, and affording i\s
distance to oiy infant seminaries of learn
ing, by my predecessors, in office, I should
deem it unnecessary to say anything at
this time, were I not fully persuaded, tha
ali the means which may be requisite to the
uccoaiplishmcut of objects so much to be
desired, are now completely- within your
power. Our funds are ample and abun
dant. Many of our sister states are vicin
with each other in improvements of thi
description, and are now sharing the happy
results of their enterprising spirit: And
shall we so far forget our own interest as
to neglect these laudable pursuits, while w
enjoy a state of peace and unparalleled
prosperity? I hope not. Indeed I ain fully
persuaded that, a more favorable opportu
nity to commence internal improvements
upon an extensive scale, can hardly be ex
pected. Their importance in a free coun
try, must be evident to every thinking per
son in the community, a d will unques
tionably command the early and prompt at
tention of an enlightened and patriotic le
gislature
The accompanying documents relative
to the subjects ment.oned in this commu
nication, together with a statement of war
rants drawn on the treasurer during tlie po
litical year now past, and a list of execu
tive appointments, made in obedience to
me nintu section ol the second article of
ihe constitution of this state, are herewith
submitted for your consideration.
These aru the most important subjects
which have been acted on during the year
past; there arc sundry others of less impor
tance which will require your attention
during tlie session,
In tlie conclusioa.jpf this address, per
mit me to assure yyu, that I feel gratified
in believing, tliat whatever may promote
tne honor and interest of our beloved coun
try, will command your serious and con
stant attention; and that union and harmo
ny may prevail iu your councils, is the
prayer of your devoted lellow-citizen,
William Rabun.

On hand this day.
The demand throughout the month has rat .er
improved, both for the home trade and for ex
tort—the latter consists mostly of K ni'aky’saml
Georgia’s at 4:1 a 5d and low; Virginia, 5a a 6d pr
lb.—There is but a small part of the late arrivals,
proves of fine quality; and whether the annexec
,Tiers for this description, will be supported, will
depend much upon the proportion to arrive.—
Our market is clear of Maryland?; they are much
wanted, and the fi st arrivals likely to meet a good
sale.
Rice was in good demand in the beginning ot
the month for export, and good qualities brough
58 a 39s; since, the demand has fallen off', and pri
ces have declined 1 i a 2s; holders however, arc
very stiff', as the quantily on hand is very limited
at present.
The import of American flour in the last month
was 40,000 barrels, making the total import from
Vmerica since our pons opened, 5 7,735 barrel:
the favorable weather for the harvest operating
so much on grain, caused holders of flour to push
their stocks on the market, and prices declined
fully 6s a 8s below the superfine qualities, until
within the last ten days, when our corn market
took a turn, and old grain continued to be sought
after and prices to advance; flour since has been
much in request; the annexed currency is readily-
obtained; very little sweet flourreniains
The .mpnrt of ashes since 1st January has been
14 390 barrels, and in tlie same period list year
18,230 barrels. Pots have been in limited demand
during the month and now could possibly be pur
chased under our quotations; some small sale:
have been made in pearls—65 a 66s for Boston
and 64s Muntreals. -The market is now heavy and
the annexed quotations could not be obtained but
for sipatl parcels.
The stock of Quercitron bark is heavy; but prin
cipally in the hands of speculators; the busine:
done last month is not to any extent; prices obtain
ed are for fair to good, Philadelphia 22s 6d a 23
and a small lot of prime quality 25s
The sleek of turpentine of good quality is get
ling small and prices in consequ. nee have ad
vanced to 16s a 18s; the demand during the month
lias been fair.
