[£j= The friends of Harrison and Reform are requested
to meet in Milledgeville, at llie Court House, on Thuksdat
next, the 3d inst., at 11 o’clock, A. M. The object of the
meeting is to select a Ticket to run for the Legislature.
This call is made under the sanction of the candidates
already in the field.
Since our last, an express reached this place,
informing the Governoi that a body of Indians
had invaded Ware county, and committed ma
ny depredations, having laid waste some ten
plantations, burning houses, fences, &c. The
citizens of Ware county having been inform
ed of many murders recently committed by
the Indians in their vicinity, over the Flo
rida line, were in a state of sufficient watchful
ness to escape the tomahawk, by timely flight.
It will be seen, from the following letters,
which we copy from an extra Savannah Geor
gian, that the savages have been, and may be
even now, committing horrid barbarities on
the persons and property of our fellow-citizens
of Camden. We observe that measures have
been taken by Gen. Floyd to meet the emer
gency. We feared that this excellent officer
was still at the North, where we believe he
lias recently been, for the restoration of his
health. With such an officer at his post, we
may rest assured that all will be done which,
under the circumstances, can be done, by one
of the most prompt, and meritorious officers in
the Union. The Governor, we presume, has
oidered the necessary measures for defence
and protection.
“ Centkevillagk, Aug. 19, 1840.
“ Dear George:—I am sorry to inform you that the
Indians have done a good deal of mischief on the Siivranv,
and it is thought that they have again come into the Oka-
fanokee; last Friday they killed Joseph Howell’s wife
ami two children, and Daniel Green’s wife, and shot his
daughter through the shoulder; they have robbed and
burnt oul the inhabitants as they went,beginning at Green’s,
thevhave burnt nearly all the dwellings up to Fort Gilmer.
Joseph Howell and George Johns got in here to-day; they
followed them up the Suvvany several miles, and found 1L
dwellings burnt. They all are forted in at old Bill Cone’s
and Capt. Sandcrlain’s. The Indians fired on Sander-
lain’s house, all night on Friday night, the next morning
to >k the road up llie river, and only went five or six miles,
to old Sutnarall’s place, and killed some hogs and cattle
and stayed all night. This is the most hold and daring
act they have committed, since the commencement of the
war; the people above this are very much alarmed, and
some of them are already moving off—whether with suffi
cient cause, I cannot say. Absalom Cossey’s children, six
in number, were, killed last Wednesday, on the South
l’rungof the St. Mary’s, some suppose, by the same party.
I have nothing more worth your attention at present.
“ I remain, yours most truly.
“STEPHEN McCALL.
“Geo. Lang, Esq.
“ P. S—Thomas Wright is burnt out among the re3t.
“ Cextrevillagf., August 23d, 1840-
“ Dear George:—All is excitement nud alarm up this
way; the Indians have killed Thomas Davis and two of
his children, and John Patrick’s wife. They had all ga
thered at Arch. Hogan’s ( Monia,) and on Wednesday just
about night fail, they attacked the place and killed the
above persons and burned every building on the place ex
cept the one that was defended. They have burnt Davis’
and Miney’s places, and one other in this county. It is
about 30 miles from here. J do not think that we are in
danger here as yet, though others think different. 1 here
is a part of tw-o companies of Dragoons from Black Creek
already scouting about the Okefam-kee, and Tracy is trying
to raise fifty men for thirty days, under an order from Gen.
C. Floyd. What will be the final issue, time only will
show. If I think there is any danger here, I shall at once
take ntv family away from here. Yours, in haste,
“ STEPHEN McCALL.
“ Geo. Lang, Esq.”
Since writing the above we are informed
that the Governor has directed Gen. Hilliard
to order into the service of the State, two com
panies, and authorized him to call out more it
necessary. His Excellency has likewise ap
pointed Gen. Nelson to the command of the
troops, who left here yesterday for the scene
* f hostilities.
We have recently instituted some inquiry,
in reference to the prospect of a return to
specie payments t>y our Banks. We should
infer, as the result of our inquiries, that this
desirable event will not be much longer pro
tracted. Many of our institutions, and amonr
them our own Milledgeville Bank, are deci
dedly in favor of a simultaneous aud speedy
resumption of specie payments. We under
stand it to be the anxious desire of the direc
tors of the Bank ot Milledgeville, that a con
ference of the different Banks of the Stat<
should be had, and a concei ted action devised
by which, at an early period, these institution
may simultaneously resume. We trust tha
this proposition may be carried out at an earl;
day. We have not heard the precise day as
signed as the most proper period for the re
sumption, but would infer that a few month:
at farthest would only be deemed necessary
for all preparatory arrangements on the par
of the Banks. We are happy to perceive thi.
determination on the part of our Banks; it i.
confirmative evidence that the present suspeu
sion has been, on their pan, the result of th.
best motives,—to save the people and th.
country from pressure, sacrifice and suffering
by allowing the beneficial influence of severs
crops to interfere between debtor and credit
or, and to their mutual relief; and which, wc
doubt not, has saved Georgia from much o:
the calamity that has overtaken other commu
nitie3.
Our readers will have noticed that the elec
tions which have taken place have resulted
even better than the most sanguine of the op
ponents 3f Van Burenism had hoped. These
elections, we think, in all candor, from every
indication of public feeling and sentiment
with which we are acquainted, are but fore
runners of what the present Federal Admin
istration have to hope for, in those which are
yet to take place. If the public feeling which
now exists, continues until the election, we do
not think it unreasonable to express a belief
thatGen.Harrison will obtain the electoral vote
of twenty States of the Union. This will be
not simply a defeat, but a decisive and merit
ed rebuke to this destructive Administration,
aud will tell upon the future interests of the
country, by proving to whoever may be at the
head of the Government, that a war upon the
interests and happiness of the people, such as
has been waged by the present Administra
tion, must result in the discomforture and
overthrow of those who wage it. We con
gratulate our readers most heartily upon the
auspicious results of the elections just termi
nated.
Our readers,no doubt, expect us to keep them
advised of our political prospects, as we are
ourselves informed from the different sections
of the State, and the Union. We have only
to say this week, that, so far as our own State
is concerned, we have, since our last, receiv
ed the most cheering accounts from the moun
tains to the seaboard. We hardly know
whether our gain will be more from Mil
ledgeville downward to the Atlantic, or up
wards to the mountains; but are disposed to
believe, that if the up country does not look
sharp, the middle and low country, in propor
tion to their numbers, will beat them in the
good work. From all accounts, there seems
to be a perfect revolution of public sentiment
in very many sections, and all, with some one
or two solitary exceptions, in favor of Harri
son, Reform and the Country. There is no
more doubt that Georgia will go for Harrison,
than that North Carolina has gone for him;—as
she has, the reader is aware, by a majority of
Eight Thousand Seven Hundred votes. Geor
gia never has been a Van Buren State, and we
rejoice to feel satisfied that she is now further
from being so than site ever was.
To-morrow is the day for the great gather
ing of our opponents ut the Indian Springs.—
We would not be considered the prophet of
ill,—but from the obvious apathy of the party
in the cause of Martin Van Buren, from their
utter indifference to the man, taken in connec
tion with the great defection from its ranks in
Georgia, we should not be surprised after all
their efforts to rally the party and to make an
impressive show on this occasion, if it were to
result in complete failure; indeed we should
not wonder, if the whole all told does not
amount to five thousand men. But vve shall
see.
The great Whig Meeting at Nashville.
—An esteemed correspondent writes us: “We
have just returned from the Nashville Conven
tion, the greatest pageant which has ever been
displayed in America. We had present not
less than forty thousand men, and at least four
thousand ladies.” A pretty considerable col
lection, we should call it, and a very decisive
prognostic of what Tennessee will do in the
coming Presidential election.
We notice that a bale of cotton of the pre
sent crop has been received already in Sa
vannah; Augusta, Macon and Columbus have
likewise each received a bale. This is early for
(ieorgia. The late arrival from England of
the Steamship President, brought as her cot
ton accounts no change in the English market.
In Augusta the article is quoted at 6 to 9^ ; in
Savannah, to 9 J, and in Charleston at 7 to 10
cents.
At that time, charges and specifications of them were
preferred by a certain Henry D. Nones, a Captain in the
Revenue Cutter service, against Josiah Murch, then first
Lieutenant in the same service. The Collector of the
District, Henry Whiteley, Esq., was ordered by the Sec
retary of the Treasury to conduct the examination. Mr.
Murch was defended by counsel, aud the prosecution in
behalf of the Captain carried on by counsel employed by
himself. The character of the testimony, on the pact of
the complainant, generally, was such, that the counsel for
Mr. Mutch deemed it unnecessary to enter upon any de
fence—it was composed entirely of the crew and officers
under the immediate command of the complainant. Nones
—and of negroes, his own servants, employed in the ward
room—five negroes, if I atn correctly informed, were
brought forward to testify; the moment the first was called
to the stand, Mr. Murch and his counsel (protesting against
such evidence, it not being competent in the courts of this
State for negroes to testify against white persons) left the
room—the Collector proceeded, however, to take the tes
timony, and after closing the same, forwarded it to Wash
ington—the wholtf of which I presume you can find in the
office of the Secretary of the Treasury. A copy of one »f
the negro depositions ] now have before me. Mr. Murch
had his commission taken from him—the testimony having
been laid before the President and “approved bv him.”
So unexpected was this decision to Mr. Murch, and indeed
to every one who knew the character of the testimony ad
duced against him, that Mr. Murch thought it proper to
appeal directly to the President for reinstatement—he did
so both personally and by letter. To impress more fully
upon the minds of the powers that be at Washington the
injustice done to him, Mr. Murch forwarded to the Secre
tary of the Treasury a deposition of one of the negroes,
token at tile negro’s own request, after his discharge from
the Cutter, by a Magistrate of the town of New Castle—
in which he states that what he testified to before Col.
Whiteley, the Collector, was false—“ that he was com
pelled by threats made by Capt. Nones to give such testi-
monv, &c. <5ic. Upon the receipt of this deposition by
Mr. Woodbury, the Secrctaryof the Treasury, he informed
Mr. Murch in substance, by letter, “ that this testimony
of the nagro could not go to rebut his first deposition, but
might be made the ground work of new proceedings
against Capt. Nones”—(I have not the letter before me,
and therefore, merely give the substance.) To w hich Mr.
Murch, under date of September 10, 1839, made the fol
lowing reply; after acknowledging the receipt of Mr.
Woodbury’s letter of the 6th instant—he says, “ I have to
say that the affidavit of Win. Kork (negro) was sent, to
the Department, not for the purpose of commencing new
proceedings against Capt. Nones, or any other person, but
with the object of showing to the Department the charac
ter of the evidence on which my dismissal has been found
ed.” Several letters were written to the Department and
to the President by the friends of Mr. Murch, and I think
a formal remonstrance sent by his counsel to the Treasury
Department. On the 4th of January, 1840, the Secretary
of the Treasury wrote to me, (who had addressed a letter
directly to the President in regard to Mr. Murch,)-is fol
lows; “Sir, in reply to your letter of the 27 th ulr., to the
President of the United States, which has been referred to
this Department, 1 would inform you that Lieut. Murch
was dismissed from the Revenue service, by the President,
on satisfactory evidence of improper conduct, which,
though the charges and proof have been once or twice re
examined, has never been satisfactorily rebutted or ex
plained.”
These proceedings are now matter of record, or ought
to he, in the Treasury Department. Copies of most of
which I took the precaution at the time to retain. If you
think any good can be had by publishing it, please do so,
und make whatever remarks you may think proper. I
will only add that no officer, however high or honest, is
safe for a moment, if the government is to tolerate negroes,
under the immediate control of an officer, to give testimony
against another whom he has thought proper to prefer
charges against.
P. S.—Yon will perceive that Woodbury was willing
for Murch to make the deposition of the negro Kork. suffi
cient ground to commence proceedings upon against Nones.

((J* We call attention to the Prospectus of
Mr. Richards. His enterprize is a praise
worthy one, anti ought, as we trust it will, be
encouraged. Georgia needs only to be known,
to rank with any of her sister States, and this
is an excellent plan to make her known.
We copy from the Madisonian, published
at Washington, the subjoined letter, which
was transmitted (says that paper,) by a gen
tleman well known in the nation, and whose
name is sufficient warrant for reposing in the
statement entire credit. If any further evi
dence were wanting, after the Hooe case, the
Missouri case, and the negro suffrage case, to
piove Mr. Van Buren to be “the Northern
man with Southern principles,” here it is.
This, our readers will think, we doubt not,
even a worse case than that of Lieut. Hooe.
Surely Mr. Van Buren has the most singular
way that can be well imagined, of proving
himself what his friends say he is. The let
ter below, is a beautiful commentary on his
southern professions. It needs no comment
on our part; all we ask is its serious perusal.
By the way, we were much struck recently
by an expression of the talented Prentice ;
he says the Southern Van Burenites must look
splendidly, marching to the support of their
candidate at the polls under a banner inscri
bed “Missouri restriction.”—“Negro suf-
f,. arre ”—“ Nesro Witnesses.” Such a banner
is surely unsuitable fora southern latitude;
and it becomes the friends of this false-hearted
professional politician, who never in his whole
life possessed a single principle except that
of selfishness, who has been for and against al
most every prominent man and every important
measure, which have been on the tapis during
his political existence, to pause in their at
tempts to deceive the people with the belief
that Martin Van Buren is with the South in
feeling and in principle; or if they continue
the deception, will they have the common
fairness and independence to hoist their ap
propriate banner? But to the interesting
letter below :—
New Castle County, Del., Aug. 3, 1840.
Dear Sir:—That the South may be informed correctly,
in regard to Mr. Van Buren, I send you for publication
certain facts in relation to his approval of negro testimony,
in the trial of an officer in the Revenue service, before the
Collector of this District, in June, 1839.
$G,538.325 66
Showing the yearly expenses of President Van Buren’s
Government to be fO,538,325 66 more than the four first
Presidential terms, ami that too, including all our addi
tional expenses caused by the last wav with England, un
der President Madison’s Administration.
By reference to the above, it will be petceived that the
monthly expenses of President Van Buren’s Government
amounted to $3,094,637 86
And Washington’s Adams’, Jefferson’s and
Madison’s, altogether, amounted to 1,149,677 38
$1,844,960 48
This balance shows $1,844,960 48 a month over and
above the four first Presidential terms of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson and Madison. lVho can longer wonder
that me are now having fastened upon us a targe Na
tional debt ?—N. Y. Commercial Adv. and Journal.

Messrs. Editors of the Recorder.—
The undersigned Committtee were appointed at a meet
ing of the friends of Harrison and Tyler, of this county,
to invite guests to attend a dinner to be given at this place,
on the 29tlr of September, 1840, to our Representatives in
Congress who sustain the cause of Harrison, Tylf.r
and Reform. They therefore solicit the presence of the
nominees on the Congressional and Electoral 'lickel for
Harrison and Tyler, and all other friends of the cause
throughout the countv and State, whose convenience will
permit their attendance. They also desire their fellow-
citizens, without distinction of party, to be present and
participate.

which has given him birth, and in which he has lived so
happy and prosperous. The Administrations of Washing

the American people.
The committee were also instructed to invite the ladies.
We shall feel highly gratified to see as many on that day
as can possibly make it convenient: it will have a tendency
to cheer up the energetic feelings of the friends of Hiu’ii-

H. G. JOHNSTON, J
Died, in this city, on Friday night last, Mary, infant
daughter of R. M. Orme, one of the Editors of this paper,
aged 19 months.
Departed this life on the 22d August, at the bouse of her
6on in this county, Mrs. Rachael Smith, in the 73d year of
her age, after a short and painful illness of nearly three clays.
She was bom in the State of Maryland, and has been a citizen
of Georgia for the last 46 years. She with hei companion
(whom she survived about 11 years) became one of the first
settlers of Baldwin county, where the Gospel of the Re
deemer \va3 early introduced, and Christianity established.
She with her companion, often participated in the unspeaka
ble blessings which God is ever willing to bestow upon the
people called Christians. Mrs Smith has been a member
of the Church for about 43 years, during which time no charge
to the Church had ever been preferred against her. She said
nothing with respect to her departure, as she bad not the
power of speech for about 30 hours before her death. She
left a son and daughter, her only children, who grieve, but
not as those who have no hope.
Died, at the residence of her father, Thornton Perry,
Twiggs county, Ga., 17th August, Miss Nancy H. Perry,
aged 21 years. The death of this young lady has cast a
gloom over the feelings of the community; and sorrow, deep
felt sorrow and regret, are depicted in the countenances of
all. If the qualities which adorn nnd enoble her sex. grace
fulness, ease, elegance, and unaffected simplicity of manners,
added to a mind of the first order, and well cultivated, are
valuable and endearing, then indeed did Miss Perry occupy
no ordinary space in the estimation of all who ralued worth
and merit. It has been the lot of the writer to witness the
death of many, young and old; but never was grief felt more
poignant than when he saw her who was the favorite of all,
with prospects bright, suddenly called hence to the bosom o(
her Father and herGod. Hei death fully and clearly verifies
the lines of the poet.
“ Stars that shine and fall;
The flower that drops in springing;
These, alas! are types of all,
To which our hearts are clinging.
All that’s bright must fade—
The brightest still the fleetest;
All that’s sweet was made.
But to be lost when sweetest.”
At Gainesville, Hall county, on the 20th of August, Jf.sse
Sanford Moughon, in his 10th year, youngest son of Col.
Thomas Moughon of Jones county.
At the residence of Mr. Noel Pace, in Troup county, Ga.,
on Sunday,the 9th inst., Mr. William Trimble, in the 30th
year of his age.
The deceased formerly resided in this city, and having
been for some time past the subject of a serious chronic affec
tion, he left us some few months ago, hoping to restore his
health by travel. His disease growing constantly worse, he
was constrained to abandon the idea of travel and return to
the residence of Mr Pace, to enact the last tragedy of life.
The subject of this notice was a native of Georgia, where
he resided until his removal to this place, in the year 1835.
We are often led to exclaim in the occurrences oflife, why
has this been permitted / and almost to repine at the over
ruling Providence which controls not (only the destinies of
men but of nations. Did we rot how to that wisdom which
never errs, we could with deep sincerity ask. why this be
reavement? Certain, however, as we feel the loss, just so
certain does the writer believe it was for his good, or for the
good of mankind
It is a noble sentiment which declares we should not speak
of the dead except in praise, and mankind esteem it now
perhaps in so much veneration, as to cause them often to ap
proach the extreme of bestowing unmerited praise on some
occasions. Towards the subject of this notice, it is pleasing
to reflect that the highest eulogy could scarce approximate
his merits. Nurtured in the lap of morals, and taught in
infancy the beauties of the Christian religion, his mind was
deeply imbued with the adornings of the one, and the stead
fast hope imparted by the other. In all his intercourse, that
sweet amiability which so characterizes the conduct of a
mind properly indoctrinated in the paths of virtue and reli-
pion, was pre-eminently conspicuous. None of the feelings
of the parasite had a place in his bosom. He esteemed men
not for wealth or fame, but by the true standard—the moral
worth possessed. In the absence of moral worth, in his
view, men, however high, were but of low and base degree.
While his principles may by some be considered rigid, he
was far from condemning indiscriminately, as he had large
charity for the frailties of human nature. For these, his high
est sympathies were enlisted, but for wanton depravity, he
had no shield.
From these characteristics, need I add, he could be relied
on as a friend, esteemed as a citizen, and claimed as the vo
tary of virtue.
Previous to his departure from his native State, to become
the adopted son of Alabama, he united himself to the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, and continued an exemplary member
during nis residence in Georgia After removing to Ala
bama, he did not unite himself ro the Church, from what cause
he could on his sick bed scarcely say. It was doubtless from
a cold aud lukewarm state of the Church, that he could
not promise himself any enjoyment amongst mere professors,
that he did not join the Church. And it may most appropri
ately be asked, now many worthy men are kept out of the
Church to their detrimentand to that of the Church, from this
cause ?
In his last illness, he, when interrogated on the sub
ject of death, expressed a willingness, yea, a strong desire to
close his eyes on mortal scenes forever. Feeling a strong con
fidence that he had an interest in the atonement offered for
man, and that his God was reconciled to him. His remains
were brought to this place on Thursday last, and interred on
the day after. The large concurse of citizens that assembled
to pay the last tribute of respect to his earthly remains, at
tested fully to the estimation of acquaintances, and the affec
tionate regard of friends. C.

N OTICE is hereby given to Assistant Marshals appointed
for th- purpose "of taking the Census of Georgia, under
the acts of Congress of the 3d March, 1839, and 26th Febru
ary, 1840, that no penalty is annexed to a refusal to give in
the statistical information which the questions propounded
are intended to elicit. This must be left to the voluntary
disposition of the individual who renders the account of per
sons in each family. It is not expected that any friend of bis
country, who would be pleased to acquaint himself with its
resources, will either refuse to comply with the simple re
quest of the law, or be iustrumental in inducing others to ob
ject. I undetstand it is alleged, in some places, that this in
formation is sought for the purpose of levying a tax on the
people, and in others that it is intended to expose the poverty
of individual citizens. Such allegations are wholly unfound
ed, and intended to mislead those who have not read the law
for themselves. However desirable the information expected
to be collected by the execution of this law may be, to the
enlightened patriot and statesman, if any refuse to afford it,
as it is a matter left entirely to the pleasure oi each individ
ual, you will resort to no coercive measures to compel the
statement. WM. J. DAVIS, Marshal.

HE Trustees ot this Institution respectfully announce
to the public, that the second course of lectures will
commence on the first Monday in November next, and close on
the last Saturday in February following.
In calling the attention of the public to the exercises of this
infant institution, the board feel assured that they are render
ing to the advocates of the botanic system of practice, an es
sential setvice. Great pains have been taken by the board
to combine in the faculty, at an early period, the best medical
talents and attainments which the fraternity afforded and was
by us available. And having so far succeeded, much to our
satisfaction, we now invite all who are disposed to avail
themselves of the advantages and facilities which the institu
tion is so eminently calculated to afford to those who aspire
after proper qualifications for the highly responsible station
of practical physicians, to attend the ensuing course of lec
tures, where they may receive all the instruction which the
present state of the reformed system presents, in the most
prompt, plain and forcible manner.
Anatomy. Physiology, Pathology. Pharmacy, Chymistry,
Surgery, Obstetrics, Ac., will be taught as thoroughly, and
nuder as many advantages as is usual in any of the medical
institutions of our country. The very great call for well
qualified botanic practitioners having induced the friends of
medical reform to erect an institution of this kind, we cherish
the pleasing hope that it will now be amply sustained, so a3
to supply the vast and increasing demand for physicians of
the botanic order, develope true medical science, and prove
its intrinsic worth and superiority over all other systems of
medical practice.
Apparatus ami preparations, adapted to the wants of the
institution, will be obtained in due season to be used through
out the ensuing course of lectures; and all the facilities of
dissection and demonstration will be afforded to tlie students
in attendance.
The entire expense of the course of lectures will be $100.
Board $12 per month.
The faculty consists of the following gentlemen, who will
teach and lecture on their respective branches in the follow
ing order:
Wm. H. Foneuden. M. D., Professor of Theory and
Practice of Medicine, and Lecturer on Anatomy and Surgery.
L Bankston. M. D., Professor of Materia Medica and
Therapeutics, and Lecturer on Physiology and Pathology.
Hugh Quin, M. D., Professor of Obstetrics, and Diseases
of Women and Children, and Supervisor of the Botanic
Garden.

N OTICE.—My negro man Warer, left my plantation on
last Saturday night, the 15th instant. He rode off one
of my horses, a bright bay horse, 9 or 10 years old, about 4
feet 10 or 11 inches high. The horse had a small star in his
forehead, and a small white streak on his nose; supposed to
be hip shot in both hips ; very high wetltered, and a little hurt
on the wethers. The negro Warrer is a chunky man, about
28 or 29 years of age, flat nose, and about 5 feet's or 9 inohes
high, square built, and weighs about 145 pounds. I followed
said negro to the house of Mr. Ansel Evans, in Meriwether
county, about one mile from Jones’ Mills, on Red Oak creek.
There I heard of said negro and horse. The said negro and
horse was fed at the said Evans by Mrs. Veasey. There is
the last I heard of said negro and horse. T will give a reward
ot Twenty-five Dollars for said negro and horse, or One Hun
dred Dollars, if harbored by any while person, with proof to
conviction, if said negro and horse are delivered to me living
in Meriwether county, two miles from King’s Gap. Ga.

HARRISON BARBECUE, AT HILLSBORO’.
Bv previous notice, a part of the citizens of Jasper and
Jones counties met at Hillsboro’, on the 25th August, and
organized the meeting by calling C. Reese, Esq. to the
Chair, and Hiram G. Johnson to net as Secretary. A call
was then made on the Chair to stale the object of the meet
ing, which was done in a very brief manner. 1 lie object
of the meeting, as was stated, was to give a Harrison and
Tyler Barbecue, on the 17lh day of September; nnd on
motion of William S. Middlebrooks, shall it be assented
to, it wus carried without a dissenting voice.
On motion of Major Edward Price, it was agreed there
should be committees appointed to make all necessary pre
parations and arrangements to carry the foregoing into ef
fect.
Whereupon the Chair appointed the following commit
tees, viz:
Committee of Arrangements from Jones county: Wil
liam S. Middlebrooks, John Childs, John Marsh, Nathaniel
Gordon, Abingdon Barron.
Committee of Arrangements from Jasper county: Ste
phen Mobley. W illiam Phillips, Ed« ard Price, John John
ston, James Johnston, John T. C. Towns.
Committee of Correspondence: Charles L. Ridley,
Cuthbert Reese, Leioy F. Jarre), W illiam M. Bu.ddus,
•Hiram G. Johnston.
It w as also unanimously Resolved, That the correspond
ing committee should invite the candidates for Congress
and those for Electors, favorable to the election of William
H. Harrison and John Tyler; also the citizens of Jasper
ami Jones counties favorable to said election.
We also very respectfully invite the friends of Mr. Van
Buren, who will come purely for instruction, as we are
willing for all to hear for themselves, in a cause, we be
lieve. of more importance than any that has come before
the American people since the revolution. We therefore
hope that every man that comes will lay aside all prejudice | paid, to
and party feeling, and go in for the good of the country
Prospectus of a New Work to be entitled
GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED,
I N a series of original pictures, on steel, with letter press
descriptions. The plan of publishing in successive num
bers, pictorial works, illustrative of the scenery of countries,
has long been a popular one in Europe, and is rapidly gaining
favor in our own country.
The proposition to issue such a work, devoted to the scenery
of Georgia, although novel, will undoubtedly find universal
favor, and be regarded, as it is by the editor, a plan at once
felicitous and feasible. There is much scenery in our State,
>hat is not surpassed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any
other State in the Union. The upper counties abound in
scenes, which need only to be known to command the admi
ration of all who love the beauties of nature. Much of the
scenery of the North is inferior to our own, but is yet visited
by thousands simply because it has be«n written, sung and
“ lionized,” by authors and trave lers until its beauty has be
come universally known and appreciated. It is desirable
that attention should be directed to our own resources of the
picturesque in natural scenery, and when this is done, our
own and Northern tourists will speedily render our beauti
ful views 33 immortal as our language.
The South is charged with general indifference to the pro
gress of Literature aud Fine Arts; and probably the strong
est foundation for the charge is found in her inaction in en
terprises calculated .0 foster these objects. The publication
of the proposed work will, it is believed, be an effective blow
at this foundation, and a step towards the establishment of
our literary reputation, to which end much honorable effort
is now directed.
A third consideration, and the last which will now be
urged, is the intrinsic value of such a publication as “Geor
gia Illustrated.” It will embody the representations of
the beautiful and sublime in our State scenery, and afford to
all, :ta trifling expense, exact pictures of our mountains,
vallies, cataracts, public buildings, Ac., which they may or
may not otherwise behold, but which, in either case, would
afford peculiar pleasure.
The proposed work will be executed in a style superior to
any similar pictorial work in the country The plates will be
executed on steel, by eminent engravers, from original draw
ings, made expressly for the purpose, by Mr. T. Addison
Richards, of Augusta. The engravings will be accompanied
with letter-press descriptions, prepared for the work, and in
this department the editor will secure, as far as possible,
the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In short,
no pains will be spared to make the work a perfect gem of
its kind, to the end that it may meet a welcome reception not
only at home but also abroad.
CONDITIONS.
T. “ Georgia Illustrated,” will be issued in monthly parts,
in the quarto form, at $5 per annum invariably in advance, or
at 50 cents for each part, payable on delivery.

tions and historical facts, printed on large and beautiful type

vanced subscriptions, shall be entitled t<* a copy of the work.
