GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Corrcspoiidt'iice ol* Dnlly Morning News, Mii.lkhgevii.lk, Nov. 28, 1851. Thanksgiving day was observed in this place in the usual manner. Tho doors of tho stores wore nearly closed during tho whole day, but an attentive observer might have seen that many of thorn were ajar and that those within occa sionally received a customer. Divine service was held in the Methodist find Episcopal Churches. In tho forenoon, by provioun arrangement, Mr. linker, pastor of the Presby terian Church of this city, preached to the united congregations of the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian Church es. Rev. George White, of your city, officiated in tho Episcopal Church. While i think that many customs of our Northern brethren would he **uiore honored in the breach than the ob servance,” 1 cheerfully admit Unit we have rea son to thank them for tho example they have set us in this particular. Long may our pcopio continue to unite annually os one great congre gation, to return their tlumks to the Supremo Being for the unprecedented blessings and pros perities which tliey enjoy through llis bounty. Mr. Baker staled tho interesting fact that 27 States hod appointed yesterday as a day of Thanksgiving. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. On motion of Mr. Floyd, the order vVns sus- pebded and the Bill to pardon Cornett of Morgan wus taken up. On his further motion, tho Bill was mado the special order for Tuesday next.— The object of the postponement, ns I understood it, was to have a fuller house upon the decision of a question aflbeting the life of a human being; there being ut present some thirty or forty mem bers absent. On the call of the Counties tho following Bills wero introduced nnd road the first time : Bv Mr. Tift, a Bill to authorize the Savannah und Albany Railroad Company, to make uud use Plank or MeAdatnized Ronds in connection with or in lieu of their road uud brunches, and to authorize the State to assist in tho construc tion of said road, on certain conditions therein named. By Mr. Shcwinakc, a Bill to incorporate Hope- well (Baptist) Church iu Burke County. Mr. Patterson from tho Committee to whom was referred the Bill in relation to the Pine lands of Camden County heretofore reported, made a report in favor of the same. By Mr. Price, a Bill to incorporate the Romo Branch Magnetic Telegraph Company. By Mr. Anderson, u Bill to lay out a new county out of parts of Habersham, Franklin, Jackson and Hall. By Mr. Smith, a Bill to compensate owners qf Slaves executed for capital offences. ’ By Mr. Mobley, a Bill to regulate the prac tice in Courts of Law aud Equity and to tlefinc t^e powers of the same. Mr. Thurmond presented tho petition of John J. Flournoy of Jackson County, praying the re- peul of the law which declares the deaf nnd dumb idiots so fur as to appoint guardiuns for them ; also to establish the right ot Polygamy. This latter crotchet must have taken u vciy tenacious hold of the bruin of Mr. Flournoy, for I remember he wus before tho Legislature, lour years ago, with a similar petition. 1 wonder lie don’t remove to Turkey# where ho might enjoy the privileges ho is asking for, without requiring the united wisdom of tho Stute to frame u law tq enable him to enjoy a wife or two more, By Mr. Thurmond, a Bill to authorize hus bands to collect, sue for, and recover all tho property, reul aud personal, of their deceased wives without administering on their estates, and also to prescribe their liabilities for the debts nnd contracts of their dcceuscd wives in certain cuscs. By Mr. Clark, of Stewart, a Bill to provide for the payment of tho creditors of the Bank of Darien. By Mr. Stephens, n Bill to provido for the re pairs of the State Roud, and to incorporate the Wcste a a id Atlantic Ruiln.a I Ci np my. The object of the Bill is to sell so many shares of slock in tliut road as will leuvu the Stute hold ing a majority of the stock, and to have tho roud managed by a company. Mr. Stephens slated that the Bill hud been scut tM him for presenta tion to the House by Professor McCoy, of the University of Georgia, and that ho did not oiler it us containing his own yiews. Tho Bill was referred to tho committee on iuterual Improve ments. By Mr. Tillman, of Tnttnal, u Bill to appoint Commissioners lor certain purposes therein men tioned, und to authorize the Tax Collector of Tutttml County to pay one-half of the Slate tux collected for 1852 to said Commissioners. (I could not learn the precise object of the Bill.) O11 motion oi' Mr. Thurmond, the Judiciary Committee were required to examine whether our laws forbid the coming into this State ol fel- lons for political ofleuces iu foreign States ; uud if so, to report a Bill to repeal the same. The House then took up the Bill to ratify the contract for Iron entered iuto by Gov. Towns and the Chief Engineer of tho Stuto Road. On motion of Judge Merriwetlier, tho Bill wus umendedsoas to require nil payments of bonds to be mado in tho United Stutcs; with which amendment the Bill passed without opposition. A resolution passed both the Senate aud House to allow Rev. Mr. White, of Savannah, to tuko from the busemeut of the Capitol a quantity of old newspapers, to uid him iu writing a history of Gcorgiu, iu which he is now engaged. SENATE. Mr. Calhoun introduced u Bill to alter the time of holding the Courts of the Coweta Cir cuit, nnd to fix the time of holding the Sume for tho Blue Kidgo Circuit. Mr. Simmons offered a substitute for the Bill abolishing capital punishment. The substitute provides that when the jury recommends a mun, capitally convicted, to mercy, the punishment shall he commuted to perpetual imprisonment. On motion of Mr. Reeves, the Bill aud substitute were ro-cominitted to the Judiciary Committee, with instructions to report a Bill to alter the Constitution so as to give to tho Legislature the power to commute capital punishmeut to im prisonment ior life. The following Bills were passed : To prohibit owners, overseers, &c. from al lowing slaves to do unnecessary work on the ►Sabbath. To point out the mode of serving writs of Scire Fucius. To compensate owners of unenclosed lund through which Inferior Courts may lay out new roads. To authorize Justices of the Pence, in cases of commitment, to require bonds of witnesses for their appearunce 011 The trial of tl»e case, where a party or attorney make make affidavit that they apprehend the absence of such witnesses. To amend tho net regulating the mode of par titioning land held in common, in joint tenancy or coparcenary. The Senate then adjourned till to-morrew morning. II. Millkdcevillk, Nov. 28,1851. A Bill has been introduced into the lower brunch of the Legislature, by Mr. Clark, of Stew art, to authorize the subscription of three hun dred thousund dollars, by the State, to tho stock of the South-Western Rail-Road—'for the pur pose of extending the same in the direction of Fort Gaines. Tho Bill provides that the above amount shall be subscribed by the State ns soon as a similar amount lias boeri subscribed by indi viduals. It bus been the policy of the State, heretofore, not to aid in private enterpises ol this character, tho subscription of twenty thousand dollars to the Millcdgeville and Gordon Rail- Road, for tho purpose of rendering the scat of Government more accessible, having been the ouly instunco, heretofore, of udeparture from it; but, it seems to me that the peculiar circum stances of this case may well warrant a change of measures. Tho South*Wcstem # Rail-Road now extends to Oglethorpe, on Flint river. Sou th und west of that place, he ten of the incut fertile tributary to the proposed road, and much of tho produce of which now goes to Apulnchicola. That produce iR taxed with the increitHcd cost of freight and insurance consequent upon tho long und dangerous vovngc around the peninsula of Floridu, nnd would, at onco, neck nn Atlantic port if tho menus for its transportation were pro vided. Already, tho citizens of Eufaula und its vicinity arc taking meusurcB to raise monoy for the purpnso of building a brunch roud to tho proposed extension, and it is behoved that the uuiouut required tbr tliut purpose can be euHily made up. The quantity of cotton, from the ad joining counties in Alabama, tliut would be trans ported over the Eufaula branch, together with that from tho counties already alluded to—ull of which would ho turned iu the direction oi 8uvnu- null—would, probably, amount to from 100,000 to 150,000 bales. Hut, it will bo asked, whut in ducement has tho 8tutc to subscribe to this work ? In the first plucc, tho proposed roud would greatly enhance the value of property, and cause tho rapid settlement of vacant lands 111 South-Western Goorgia—these lands having re mained vacant only heenuso of the inconvenience and great expense of getting cotton to murket. Tho additional amount of tuxes that would nn- nnally accrue to tho State, in conscqucnco of tho increased wealth of that section of country, would greatly more than pay the interest on the amount subscribed, and, in a lew years, would pay both principal nnd interest. In the second jiluce, the .South-Western Rnil-RodTI, since it lias been in operation as far as Oglethorpe, has, 1 am told, yielded nett profits of something liko 8 per cent, per unnum. With tho increased bu siness tliut it would do in consequence of its extension, it is evident thnt it would prove a good investment for capital. In tho third place, oftho four millions that huvo already been expended by the State iu tho construction of tho Western nnd Atlantic Rail-Road, tho pcopio of South- Western Georgia huvo already paid, in tuxes, more than the amount asked for; and,cut oft*,ns tliey are, from any Ituil-Road connection with it, they have, heretofore, derived no benefit from the expenditure. It would seem, therefore, tliut sheer justice to thorn would require the Stuto to givo them this aid, especially when, us is shown above, she can do it without injury to herself. There are other amendments of a national character, which furnish strong reasons for tho building of this road, to which 1 may nlludo hereafter* lt'is sufficient for the present, how ever, that in the above remarks I have called the attention of your people to a matter tliut ncurly concerns their interests. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Gardner presented the memorial of tho citizens of Pike against the formation of a new County. Mr. Dawson, of Green, introduced a Bill to pardon Joliu B. Malone, otherwise John B. Hull of Green, now confined in tho Penitentiary for life, On motion of Mr. McDougald, the House took up his Bill to prevent the introduction of sluves into this Stute for sale or hire. Mr. McDougald mid Judge Merriwetlier offered certain amend ments. which were ugreod to, and 150 copies of tho Bill us upended ordered to be priuted. The Bill wrh then urndo the special order for Wed nesday next. There is no doubt a general de mand by the people of the State for the enact ment of such a law, und the qnlv diversity of opinion among members appears to bo iu regard to tho provisions of tho Bill, so us to rcuucr it more etYcctuod. The House then wont into the consideration of Bills of a local character, and after expending somo time therein, adjourned till Monday morning. IN THE SENATE. On motion of Mr. Calhoun, tliey agreed to permit the Rev. George White, of Savannah, to take from tho Library of tho Georgia Historical Socioty, the twenty-six manuscript volumes of the Coloniul History of tho Stute, and keep titem two mouths. Mr. Fletcher introduced u Bill to lav out a iw County out ol parts of Campbell, Carrol, Colih, and Paulding, to bo called Eldorado. The special order being the Bill to alter and amend the 7th section of the 1st article of tho Constitution, Mr. Cone moved an amendment, limiting tiro number of Representatives to 155. Mr, Mosely contended that the people hud suffi ciently iuuicuted tlreir will in this matter, that the hill Imd not passed the lust Legislature iu obedience to their wishes, nnd that it wus the duty of Senators to carry out their ideas us ex pressed. Mr. Cnlhouu moved to refer I ha Bill and umciidmcut to tho Committee on the Judiciary, which motion prevuiled. A Bill to dispose of personal property levied upon und claimed, passed. Also tho Bill to extend the charter of tho Au gusta insurance und Bunking Company. Also the BHl to authorize the several Rail road Companies to establish through rates for freight and passengers. Cupt. Anderson offered an amendment to $ivc any Railroad Couipuuy u lieu upon uuy freight that may bo entrusted to it, provided the owner of said freight is credited to said road for services f ireviously performed. Tho amendment was ost, yeas 11, nays 22. The BUI authorizing tho Brunswick Cunal Company to make an assessment for the com pletion of tho Cnnul, was lost. Mr. Ilurmon reported a Bill to Incorporate the Georgia Mechuuical nnd Matiufucluring Institute. , The Senate then adjourned till Monday mom- ing. . ■ H.

The Done Star Order* The Lafayette, La., Statesman lies a commu nication referring to some scurrilous and calum nious retnarks of the Washington Republic, in reference to this new order,—which we learn is progressing in numbers beyond all precedent,— in Now Orleans, Lnfuyettc, and other portions of tho South-West. The New Orleans Delia copies tlie Statesman's articlo, prefacing it with tho remark, that, since its rccont effusion against gentlemen of the highest honor and respectabi lity, who were connected with tho Cuban Ex pedition, the abuse of the Republic has grown to bo the highest compliment which can be offered to any association of gentlemen and patri otic Republicans: “ More FiUibusterism is tho caption of an edi torial of tho half of a column in length that ajff* * pea red in the Washington Republic of the 28th' October, devoted to a tirade against tho Order of the L0110 Star, denouncing as having for its object the invasion and plundering of a friendly, power, uud tlioso connected with it ns lonfcrd and scoundrels. Never did a more reckless and fulse statement appear in print. “ The constitution plainly and explicitly sets forth the object of this order to bo the extension of the area of liberty and elevating the character of mankind. Men of the highest standing nro at its head. None nro admitted who do uot pos sess a good moral character nnd enrn n liveli hood by visible r.nd honorable means. It dobs uot nt ray itself against the government; on tho contrary, it will support all republics to the last extremity. Tho laws of our country are not, nor will they be infringed 1 religion is not trench ed upon, nor will it bo; Cuba is not mentioned. Then why this wholesale abuse of an order which is entirely secret, enlisted iu n worthy and noble cause? Would to God thnt tho Republic was enguged likewise, instead of pampering and sus taining an administration which tronts those near our borders seeking liberty and freedom, as did France poor nnd uutortunnto Italy. “ It requires secrecy and unanimity to accom plish any great object, and in the right manner lias this order set to work. From the well di rected nnd extensive arrangements (bat baVfe al ready been made, ere n year passes round, from twenty to thirty tliousuud members will bo con nected with the Older ol the Lone Star, thus ac cumulating a fund wherewith to build an engino to work in the cause of liberty, capable of extin guishing despotism any and everywhere. No order iu the world has prospered nnd spread with the same rapidity. Thousands uro knocking at its door for admission, uud applications for char ters nro coming from all quarters. Soon will its effects and influence bo felt. Where once tyran nical and oppressive laws governed the people, those bequeathed hy the Almighty to his children will have been substituted. Intelligence, liberty aid freedom will reign, in lieu of ignorance, treachery, aud despotism. Tho treo lias been pluntcd; itH roots urc penetrating in every di rection ; its branches uro extending und its leaven becoming countless; und nil the virulence blown forth by tlie Republic has only tho effect of ac celerating Its growth.
