on, which was read and agreed to by the House,
Bv Mr. Sir .urn—To make permanent tho she
at the public buildings in the couuty ol Fay-
ktto, and to incorporate the same.
By Mr. Cleveland—To lake into Considerati

By Mr.6’uu7/ey—To compel the Judges of the
f i| f rior courts of this State to attend at their
i of holding courts, and also at the time
to wit .
Resolved, That the Judiciary committee bo
instructed to enquire into the expediency ot re
pealing so much of the act passed 24lli April,
17(iO, as relates to dower, and the relinquish
ment i>f feme coverts to dower, or one third
part of the real estate conveyed, and the expe
diency of substituting an act allowing dower
on one third pari of all the real estate, owned
and possessed ut the time of the death of the!
hu-band.
Mr. Hudson laid on tho table the following j
resolutions, which were rend and agreed lo by •
the ‘House, to wit:
1st. Iicsnlecdy That so much of tlir Cover* I
nor's Communication ns relates to the running i
of the dividing line between the states of Ala
bama and Georgia, with the document, be re
ferrrd to the joint committee on the Slate of
the Republic.
2d. That so much a3 relates to an appropria
tion made by Congress, for the purchase ot cer
tain reservations of land taken by the lieadi of
Indian families under different treaties hereto
fore concluded with the Creek and Cherokee
Nation'of Indian?, with the correspondence ol
I). (J. Campbell and James Meriwether, Esqrs
on that subject, be referred to the joint com
mittee on the State of the Republic.
3d. That so much as relate to the corres
pondence between the United States’ Commis
sioners, ttie State Commissioners, and the Se
cretary of War, on the subject of treating for
land, and the settlement of citizens claims,
with the documents, be referred to the joint
committee on tfie .State of the Republic
4th. That so much as relates to an appropri
ntion made by the Legislature for county Acn-
demica, he referred to the joint committee on
Public Education and Free Schools.
5'Ji. That so much as relates to the Poor
School Fund, with the documents, be refer-
Troup, by a majority of four votes. Troup 8f
— Talbot 81 Two of the members in favor of
Col. Troup’s election, Mr. Freeman of Ogle
thorpe, and Mr. Harman of Jefferson county,
were detained at home by severe illness and]
have not yet been able to reach the seat of
government. The supporters of Capt ralbot s
election were.more fortunate—every man was
at his post.
Although there was, on this occasion, no di
minution of that deep interest which the elec
tion of a Chief Magistrate invariably produces,
it was cheerfully admitted by the candid and
liberal on both sides, that each ot the Candi
dates stood on elevated ground ; and that the
representatives of the people of Georgia, in
choosing between two of her most virtuous and
patriotic citizens, bad to perform a duty, which
to many of them was rather irksome than a
greeable—that while a preference ivas ucces-
sai ily given to one of the Candidates, there was
a universal expression of respect for the excel
lent character and many estimable qualities ol
the other.
We have been surprised that so much impor*
tance has been attached to this election in o-
ther state", and that it was viewed ns an indica-
, tion of the disposition in this Slate to support
! or oppose the clci tion of Mr. Crawford as Pro-1
sident. Such as have entertained this opinion
were mistaken. More than three-fourths of the
I people of Georgia, including many of the mem-
j bers of the Legislature who voted for Capt.
falbot, arc decidedly in favor of Mr Crawford,
and would prefer either Clay or Calhoun to
Adams—the latter being the real favorite of the
minority in this state opposed to Crawford.
The sentiments expressed iruthe Inaugural
Address of the new Governor, below, (turni. h
ed for publication nt the request of a commit
tee of the Legislature) indicate the indepen
dent and liberal policy which we hope aud
believe will characterise his administration
That he can give satisfaction to every one is
not to be expected—blit that his enlighten
ed and benign principles may he widely dit-
fused that they may tend to soften the aspe
rity of party feeling and promote harmony and
iiuppincas among the people, is our urdcut de
sire.

(FT From a venerable nnd re?peclcd Cor
respondent, who has furnished for the Recor
der several valuable Communications, we are
indebted for the following hislorcat sketch. In
the letter enclosing it, the writer justly re
mnrks—“ It is by misconceptions of people
now-adays, thinking that they know all things
without trouble or research, and who know but
little accurately of things long past, that facts
for histoiy become dimmed, altered, reversed
—and supposition, false or true, fills up die
pages of the historian. Many corrections, in
such matters, might bn made to revolutions)
history, if folks of those days would take the
trouble to write them down in these, when oc
casions occur. Washington was created Mar
shat of Fi ance, by Louis XVI, by which au
thority, alone, he was enabled to command
the French army in America : this is not no
ticed, I think, by Washington’s biographer."

less, I come into office free and unfettered—
without pessions to gratify, or pledges to
redeem—and what is deemed to bo right,
under the constitution and the laws, will be
don*.
I have nothing to promise but good inten

the laws be executed, the public functiona

accountability ; and the state, according to
its means, defended against its enemies.
The season of peace, Gentlemen, in which
we find ourselves, is the season for the culti

ing in tho works of Providence designed for
the. purposes of man, ’tis for the industry of
man to improve ; and lo improve what God
has bountifully given, is gratitude to find.
In the measures, therefore, which you may
deem proper, to extend or facilitate the gn at
work of Internal Improvement, you may, nt
all times, rely on my hearty and zealous co
operation. With regard to the other mea
sures, embracing the leading interests of our
country, that, in them we will move in har
mony and ih concert, I have the best assur
ance in the patriotism and intelligence with
which I am surrounded.
Fellow-Citizens—Let us cease from our
strifes. Let our divisions have an end. The
march of science is so steady, the progress
of illumination is so irresistable. in this great
and growing country, that the generation to!
coinc, may look hack upon our foibles with
pity and compassion : Let us discard our
selfishness, therefore, and let our motto be—
COD AND OUR COUNTRY.
Messrs Granlland 4* Ormt ■—Some weeks
pnst the writer of this, rend nn obituary nut ic
of Gen. Sir Charles Asgill, and of his having
been, w hen Capt Asgill, selected by lot, die
in retaliation for the execution of Capt. l,q
pencolt. Casting the mind’s-eye back to thus
days, I thought it strange that the name of Lip
pencolt, the executioner had been substituted
lor Capt. Iluddy,lhe sufferer, on thn occasion
uliuded to. Capt Lippencotl commanded a
banditti under British authority, which prowl
ed about in the neighborhood of New Vork-—
one of Lippencott’s associates, it was p.lledged,
had been captured by an American party aud
executed no doubt for having labored in hb
avocation : the name ofthE man is not remem
bered, but the writer will call him A. B. At a
future time Capt. I.ippcncott captured Captain
lluddy, of the continental army, and ordered
him to be hanged on thn limb .»f h tree, where
he was left suspended, with the lollovving label
pinned on the back of his coat—“ Up goes
lluddy for A B In this condition the body
of Ca|ff lluddy was found by the people who
buried him. It became imperative on General
'Vnshington to check tho enemy in his career
of enormity in such matters, in order to guard
his officers, in cases of future capture by them ;
and lo tiiis end. lie ordered from amongst the
British officers of the rank of Captain, who had
surrondered unconditionally, one to Ire select
ed by lot, to be executed in retaliation lor
Capt. Ruddy : the lot foil upon Capt. Asgill.—
Gen. Washington informed the British general
of the measures lie had been compelled to re
I sort to; iii that Asgil! would b*- released,OTI bi-
receiving assurances that the murderers ot Mud
dy had been punished, or were surrendered up
to him to receive the punishment which might
bo justly due. lime passed away: the British
general ordered a trial of Lippencott, who was
acquitted by some such quibble a*s is men
tioned by “ An Old Soldier,’’ in the Boston
Ceulinel, 17th September, and copied imo the
National Intelligencer, ritli October, 1823.—
Bui tin's acquittal would not have saved Asgill
lu the interim, the parents of Capt. Asgill had
been informed of the perilous situation ot their
son. The Father lay at iliu point of death,
given up by his physicians—In a state ot mind
mote easily imagined liiau expressed, Lady
Asgill wrote a letter, full of the feelings ol a
mother f ir the fate of an only son, and in the
finest dress of the English language, to the
Coinpte De Vergennes, intrraiing him to lay
her humble petition before their Most Christi
an Majesties, that they would vouchsafe then
powerful mediation, to save her son D*- Ver-
geunes spread her prayer before their Majes
tics, who gave it in command to tin ir minister,
to communicate through their Embassador
near the Congress, how much they would feel
obliged, if Capt. Asgill should be pared. Con
gress, i Li o' their President, expressed a wish
that their Most C hristian Majesties should bt
gratified, if in the opinion of Gen. \V u-hmgtou,
it could be done, having in view tho safety ot
the officers in ca-es of future capture by the Bri
tisli,or their adherents. Congrc-s did not or
dec^they only expressed their wishes that it i
could he complied with. The General indulg
ed Ids personal feelings, in yielding to the sug
gestions of the Congre«9 nnd the wishes of their
Most Christian Majesties; but, not at the ex
pense of that protecting justice which he owed
to the army,—lie, doubtless, believed that the
inode he had adopted of retaliating, having
created such an excitement.as to cause an ap
peal to such powerful mediation, would an
swer as a corrective in the future. And Capt
Asgill was enlarged to the condition of ordina
ry captivity.
The writer, in his best recollection, believes
the foregoing statement to be substantially cor

but youthful ill those days, could know and un
derstand them. Public documents might be
referred to by those who shall doubt.

Superior Court September 18?3
Extract from the presentment* of the Grand Jury
% t K present as a pubic griewune, I lie lu-
W tie eff* ct pr« dn ud by the several -t
tub s and laws in force in this ''fate, lor llir
suppression of trailing with slaves ; owing wi
believe to the want of vigilance in the civil 1 I-
ficers oftlie couuty, and other persons vvhos*
duly it Is to take cognizance of such violation
of the laws.
We view with regret, tlint when such nbu
detected, that it is almost wholly passed over
with impunity, to the evil example of others,
nnd the encouragement of uch practices to
the great injury of the citizens, both in town
and country.
We also present ns n public nnd genera) griev
ance, tho frequent compound between owners
of negroes und pertons professing to be injur
ed by them, for offences committed by said
negroes, instead of resorting to law, tor the
purpose of inflicting condign punishment lor
said offences.
In taking this subject into consideration, w e
are of the opinion that the evil above alluded
to, may be attributed to the fact, that by prose
cuting for offences of minor consideration, the |
livesof negroes are jeopardized , und in the e-
vent of condemnation and death, the owner ot
said negro sustains a serious loss; a loss equal i
to the value of said negro, u sacrifice too great
to'be required of an individual fur the general |
good. |
We therefore recomnund to our Senator and !
Representatives particularly, and to the Legis
lature generally, to have passed at its next ses
sion, n law' providing a reasonable compensa
tion to the owner or ow ners of such slave oi
slaves, as may hereafter be condemned and ex
ecuted for offences committed against the law s
ot this State.
We return our thunks to his honor Judge
Longs!n et, for his charge at the commence
inent of this term, and for his steady and in
defatigable attention to the business ot the
Court, and request that this, together with sue b
of our presentments a< are ol a public nature,
he published in the Journal and Recorder.

communication between Gibraltar and Ca

from the latter place, and that nothing had
occurred of importance since the French
took tile Trocadero ; yet it was the general
