a ppeared in these. In bis public
' ter as a member of this body, he is
lll0re fully considered.

others. He kept constantly in view
>ns rsf those who hod clothed lijm
i -i'er, and tlie good of the people at
Gt such a man I take pleasure in
this public testimony, although I
lll d,er that another had been selected
to perform this duty. The deceased was
several times elected to this body, amt
always discharged his obligations with
fidelity. To say this much is no idle panc-
gy ric. But he has gone to his Maker and
Saviour—to a condition much hfgher and
more glorious than I can describe. His
memory will ever live in the hearts and
affections of those who honor him.
Mr- Gordon then submitted the f. illowing:
rl, I fwV 159 , Hon George H. Julian died on
the Jdd of October, 1858, at his residence in For
syth county: Be it therefore
Resolccd, That it is with sincere regret we have
to mourn the deatl. of a friend and fellow-member,
Olokge H Julian, representative from the countv
°t i* orsytli. In him the House lias lost an aide and
vigilant member, the State a good citizen, and the
followers of Christ a faithful votary. We will i ot
approach the grief and anguish of the widow and
ns orphan son; we leave them to the protection of
me Great Author of our being, who in his wise and
inscrutable providence has caused the bereave
ment, and to the consolations of that religion which
brought life and immortality to light. Our warm
est sympathies are with them in their affliction.
Resulted, i’ll at we will wear the usual badge of
mourning during tae continuance of the session,
and that a copy ot the resolutions be sent, to the
tamily ot the deceased, and entered on the journals
ot the House.
Mr. Hillyer of Walton, said that it was a tnourn-
tiu atiu melancholy pleasure on his part to second
i.e resolutions just o lie red by the gentleman from
Richmond Had he known of this intended tribute
beforehand, he might have been enabled to cast a
Hotter upon the tomb of departed greatness; for
great was the worth and integrity of the deceased
as a man and as a representative, in all the rela-
Jations of life which he was called to fill.
As the House had been informed the deceased
was not a native ot this .State, hut as coming from
the section of country he represented, said Air. Hi 1-
A er . I ran speak of him with full knowledge of his
character and influence. He belonged to that class
wlucn has been justly called the bone and sinew,
constituting the_ bulwarks of the government.
Surely it was evidence of his merit when he was
elected continuously by the voters who knew how
to appreciate his virtues. Such acts of discernment
augur well tor the institutions of our Stale.
lu some respects the character of the deceased
was remarkable. While on this floor, session after
session, such wgs his equanimity of temper that not
a solitary instance occurred where his views or
conduct led to the slightest feeling on any mea-
suie, or toward any individual. He was regulated
by a pure christiau spirit, and at ail times adorned
the profession he had made,for he was a consistent
member ot the Baptist denomination, and died in
the triumphs of a lively faith. But he has gone
from among us. The eloquent gentleman from
Kichmond has pointed to the vacant seat in this
chamber, and to the loss we have all sustained.
Let us look within ourselves and resolve to live in
such manner that when we cease to mingle with
our fellow-men oil earth we may realize the joys of
a better world. 8omc of us will follow, and whose
lot shall he first whilst our public duties continue ?
Let us cultivate more the spirit of religion—a pure
national religion, nourished by national prayer and
national thanksgiving. This is worth more than
.all the contests of party. We all have to stand at
the same bar, and abide our actions here. Aiay we
be prepared for the final account, and enter into
that eternal rest which our Heavenly Father has
provided for his obedient children.
The resolutions were then unanimously- passed.

The House look up the resolution of yesterday
that no new matter should be introduced after the
1st December next, which, on motion of Air. Kenan,
was so amended as to read, “except by a vote of
two-thirds,” and adopted.
Air. Harrison moved to suspend the rules so as
to take up his motion to re-urganize the commit
tees of the House.
Here quite a discussion followed, some gentle
men maintaining that the resolution implied a
doubt as to the regularity of the House itself in its
present, assembly. Among those who offered re
marks on the subject were Alessrs. Bigliam, Harri
son, and Smith of Towns. After an explanation
by the Speaker, that he intended to announce to
morrow morning the committees to which new
members were assigned, Air. Harrison withdrew
his resolution.
A message was received from the Senate by- Air.
Terhune, iis Secretary, which was read. Among
the papers it included was a bill prepared by a com
mittee of the Sonatas Acadomicus, embodying the
views of the Governor in his message relative to an
enlarged system of popular education, as matter
proper to originate in the House.
Air. Kenan moved to return the bill to the Senate
as irregularly communicated against the privileges
of the House.
A course of remarks was then indulged in in regard
to the dignity of the House, and the impropriety
of a bill finding its way on the clerk’s table,except
it was introduced by a member, when Mr. Lewis of
Hancock, who was a Trustee of Franklin College
and a member of the Senatus Academicus, gav-e a
statement of the facts wholly exonerating the Se
nate, Trustees of the College, and Senatus Acsdeal
iens, from any design to treat the House disre
spectfully. The law required such a paper to be
drawn, as the result of consultation, and the Senate
had attached it to their message in the nature of a
memorial fur an object over which they had no
jurisdiction (a revenue bill) iu the first instance.
He saw nothing in it to excite feeling ; gentlemen
labored under misapprehension, and he begged
that the whole matter might be disposed of in har
mony-.
Messrs. Kenan, Hardeman, Diamond, Strickland,
Irwin of Wilkes, Bigliam, and Pickett, severally
adercssed the House.
On the motion of Mr. Hardeman, to refer the mes
sage of the Senate and the accompanying papers to
the Committee on Education, Air. Lewis of Han
cock, demanded the yeas and nays—54 to 75. So
the House refused to refer, and by-implication not
recognizing the manner iu which the bill came into
the House.
The House then adjourned.
Saturday, Nov. G, 1858.
The Speaker signified to the House his determin
ation to resign the Chair, to relieve any doubts
that might be entertained in regard to tiie validity
of the organization. . Had any doubt or objection
been expressed or made known to him on the part
of any member, he should at once have y ielded his
position. He was induced to do so at present from
incidental allusions to the possible irregularity,
though he was fully couvinceu iu his own mind
that the House was now constitutionally organised.
Brief remarks were made on the subject-by
Messrs. Kenan, Bighan, Hardeman, Milledge and
Irvin, when the Speaker called Air. Irvin to the
Chair.
Air. Kenan then moved a resolution declaring
that the House is now regularly organized, which
was unanimously adopted .
The Speaker then resumed the Chair, and was
warmly received by- the members.

MILLEDGEYILLE:
TU£H> 1Y HO JIM AG, SGVOBEK 9, 1858.
The space taken up by the Governor’s Message
and the Legislative proceedings excludes several
editorial articles already in type.
The Supreme Court convened in this city yester
day. All the Judges in attendance. There are
nine cases docketed.
Annual Elections.
Among the measures likely to engage the pres
ent Legislature, will be the return to annual elec
tions of its members. The idea of curtailing the
public expenditures, and of promoting the welfare
of the people by occupying but half the time, and
thereby saving half the expense, was indeed plaus
ible in the extreme, and could not be resisted. Like
many other tempting theories, however it did not
succeed in practice.
Sevr Counties.
By reference to the proceedings of the Legisla
ture, it will be seen that several bills have already
been introduced for the formation of new counties,
and there is no telling how many more are to he in
troduced.
Legislature in Earnest.
There seems to be great disposition manifested
in both blanches of the Legislature to expedite the
public business, and to adopt such measures as will
be most beneficial to the people. All the members
have had the experience of one session at least,
except those from new counties, and a few who fill
vacancies. Many of those have long occupied
scats in the Legislature, and have acted a promi
nent part in its deliberations—men of enlarged
patriotism and intelligence who justly wield an ex
tensive influence among their fellow citizens. It
would not he difficult to specify names of this char
acter, yet we forbear to make any special distinc
tion lest we might he suspected of partiality
We are pleased to notice the general spirit of
harmony which seems to prevail. The members
are not new to each other, their social relations are
already established, and they* unite with laudable
zeal in the great work, as the exigencies of the leg
islation may demand. Important measures have
already originated, and are now in rapid progress.
May no discord, political or otherwise, mar the
cheering prospect.
Telegraph Llae to HilledgcviHe.
What has become of the project to establish a
Telegraph liue to or from Alilledgeville ?—Cons’t.
We would say in reply to the above enquiry that
the existing Telegraph line refuses to grant the
Alilledgeville company tlie privilege of uniting
with their Telegraph office at Macon, desiring to
compel us to unite with their line and keep up
an office at Gordon, which puts a bar to any furth
er action on our part with them. Perhaps
when the competing !in,e is put under way, we may
be able to g*=t an equality of privileges. The ne
cessary amount of Stock has been taken in this
place lbjr its construction.
Mr. fehb’s Address.
The nail of Representatives was tendered by a
nnadimous vote on Saturday, to Thus. R, R. Cobb,
Esq., who at 7 o’clock, p. si., addressed a large au
dience, consisting of members of both branches of
the General Assembly.
His subject was Public Education—a system of
Free Schools throughout the State, open equally to
the poor and the rich—all upon that republican
equality on which our Government proposes to he
based. For about two hours Mr. Cobb discussed
the subject and entertained his listeners with
thoughts and conclusions which cannot fail to im
press every* mind favorably to the cause he so ably,
advocates, lie pointed to the means of accom
plishing the enterprise without increasing the bur
dens of tlie people, llis effort was like refreshing
sunshine after a dark and wintry cloud. Would
that every parent and every youth in Georgia had
the opportunity of hearing his arguments,-all sup
ported by documentary proofs, and his- appeals
reaching the heart! May his labors be eminently
successful, and Lis reward more immediate than
the verdict of posterity.
LjP Dr. Henry Hammond, son of Senator Ham
mond, of South Carolina, has been elected by the
Board of Trustees at the late annual meeting at AliL-
ledgevilie, Professor of Natural Science in Franklin
College, in place of Dr. Joseph Jones, resigned.
Judge Lumpkin.
It was our privilege to hear the speech of this
eloquent gentleman before the Senatus Academicus
on Thursday last, in behalf §f a high standard of
education. He had introduced a resolution provid
ing for a coiniiiniittee of three suitable persons to
weigh the subject, and to inform themselves in
every possible manner of the best plan of a Univers
ity, to be reported at the next session of the
next session of the Legislature. Judge Lumpkin
then gave Ins views in a style which never fails to
gratify any audience he may address. His voice
is rich and varied in its intonations, his language
chaste, and his whole manner captivating in the
extreme. There is not a man in Congress at pres
ent who is the equal of Joseph Henry Lumpkin as
an orator. There is no doubt he has done some
thing to attain liis present maturity ; but it seems
to us that nature has been still more munificient in
the bestowal of his gifts.
Were it not for his judicial functions, we should
insist that the cause of Education, and all the
means to accomplish it in the true sense, for the
elevation of the people, should be committed to
Judge Lumpkin, with a request that he would visit
every county of the State and address its citizens.
Such a glorious result would follow as the world
has never witnessed.
The Retail Aut.
We have been presented by Dr. R. E. Martin
of this city, with one of these Nuts, fully niatuied,
but still iu the hull, which was taken from a tree
that has grown in his yard. The Pecan tree is or
namental and it is thus seen is also valuable for
its production.
The jjun. JuJiu £. Ward,
Has been tendered tbc mission to Chi
na, which *.ve learn lie has signified liis
intention to accept.
Brunswick & Florida Railroad.
The Stockholders m this road have call
ed for an installment of 20 per cent, to be
paid in by the 2d of Jan. next. 2o0 tons
of iron was to he delivered in Brunswick
this w eek, 250 on the 25tli and thereafter
1000 tons a month, if necessary.
This shows that the Brunswick llail-
road company is not dead but going ahead.
Yellow Fever.—There have been 4,429 yellow
fever deaths in New Orleans this season, and 236
in Galveston, Texas. The disease still prevails at
Vicksburg, Miss., and the mayor cautions stran
gers to keep away for the present.
Presidential.—The Lebanon (Tcun.^ Herald
runs up the name of John Bell for the Presidency,
and Washington Hunt for the Vice Presidency.
AIorgas, the Black Republican candidate for
Governor of New York, is elected by about twenty
thousand majority.
Latest from Illinois Election.
Chicago, III., Nov. 4.—The Republicans now
concede that the majority for the Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas, iu the Illinois legislature, will be
eight. There arc throe doubtful, and those are
not eonnted on either side.
Future Light.
It was the duty of the Senatus Academicus to
recommend such steps as that body might deem ad
visable for the education of the popular mind. For
this object, they selected a Committee to embody
the recommendations of the Governor in the form
of a bill—that the State issue bonds, the interest
on which to be paid out of the net earnings of the
State Road, and that $290,000 of these bonds be
delivered to the Stale University at Athens; $50,-
000 to the Georgia Military Institute at Marietta;
$50 000 to the College at Penfield ; $50,000 to the
College at Oxford, and $59,000 to the University
at Aiidway. In consideration of this aid, each of
the five institutions named should bind itself to
educate, annually, one young man as a State stu
dent for every $200 of annual interest, thus main
taining and instructing about one hundred and forty
young men annually, beiug one from each county,
and two from each cf the fourteen counties having
the largest population. Such young men to be se
lected of good moral character, industrious and at
tentive, to be certified by* a sworn committee of the
Inferior Court, and that the beneficiary shall pledge
his honor to make teaching his profession iu the
county which sent him for as many years as he wa=
in College—he to enjoy the income of his labor.
Such were in substance the provisions of the bill.
Being in the nature of a revenue bill, the Senate
properly judged that it had no original jurisdiction
of the subject matter, and communicated it with
other papers for the action of the House. When
the message of the Senate was taken up, and this
committee draft of a hill read to the House, Air.
Kenan excepted to the manner of its introduction,
as irregular, and not within the decorum of privi
lege. He gave his reasons with that manly bold
ness, which belongs to his character, and proposed
to return the paper to the Senate. Air. Lewis of
Hancock, one of the Trustees of the University and
a member of the Senatus Academicus. disabused
the idea, and gave the history of the bill—how it
was prepared and for what object. The draft o*
the bill was in the nature of a memorial, which was
reported to the Senate by the Senatus Academi.
cus, and was nothing more than performing the la
bor which is often done by persons applying for re
lief or legislation in some form. Bank charters
and other acts of incorporation were generally pre
seuted in this way, not to dictate, but as a matter
of convenience- There was no intention whatever
on the part of the Senate to treat the House with
disrespect.
Several gentlemen made remarks on the subject,
some insisting that the privileges of the House had
been violated, and others giving a different con
struction. Finally on the motion to receive the
bill, by referring it to the Committee on Public
Education, the House refused to do so.
Much feeling seems to have been awakened, ev
en beyond the walls of the Capitol, at the occur
rence. It was looked upon as throwing gloom or
prejudice over the fair prospect. Thus the matter
rested until Saturday last, when Air. Kenan ex
hibited the magnanimity of introducing the
Committee or Senate bill as his own, from courte
sy to the Senate and Senatus Academicus. He re
marked that by so doing he did not commit himself
to all the provisions of the bill. All dissatisfaction
instantly ceased, and the whole matter now stands
upon the same auspicious footing as if no jar had
taken place. We are glad that in the nature Of
things there is alvvays^artnethod by which an hon
orable aceommodari’oft can be made. It is always
true chivalry thus to act.
Goveknor’s Message.—Our readers have
the opportunity of judging for themselves,
as this document appears in our columns.
We take occasion to say, however, that in
many respects we concur in its views and
recommendations, and that we consider it
a solid business like paper, free from those
vapid generalities which often disfigure
productions of this kind. The portion from
which we mainly dissent is in referense to
the Banks, Here we believe the Govern
or is entirely too stringent, and that in his
zeal to fetter if not to prostrate these in
stitutions, he advises a policy which will
militate against a large class of the people.
Our views will he given more in detail at-
another time, as we have not space at pres
ent to enlarge upon this or any other sub
ject. Taken as a whole, the message
evinces a sound practical judgment, and a
very earnest desire on the part of His Ex
cellency to advance the interests of the
people. If his views in behalf of Educa
tion shall be seconded by the Legislature,
a system wiil be ultimately established
which will secure an amount of intelligence
to the next generation which cannot be
claimed for the masses now prevalent at
the ballot-box.
Prohibition of Small .\olcs.
As publishers of a journal, having an in
terest in the matter, we may possibly be
suspected of being influenced by selfish
considerations in objecting to that part of
the Governor’s Message urging the prohi
bition of Bank notes under the denomina
tion of five dollars, with a scale running
gradually to higher sums, even to twenty
dollars, to be supplied by a currency pure
ly metalic. We conceive that it is not dif
ficult to demonstrate, by the daily opera
tions of business, that even the very class
of his fellow-citizens, the moderate, hard
working class, whom the Governor no
doubt is anxious to protect, would be
among the greatest sufferers from his poli
cy. More of this, however, at another
time.
Supreme Co trt.
The Grand Jury of Worth county, at their late
term, were divided in-sentiment about the Supreme
Court. One portion recommended to their mem
bers in the Legislature to use their best endeavors
to have it abolished—the other, that it may be per
manently located, as proposed by Air. Kenan's bill,
and permanency given to its decisions.
