Savannah, August 24,18*5. After a strict investigation by the Ward Committees throughout the city, it has been found that the streets, lanes and enclosures are in a cleanly condition, and that the city continues to enjoy an unusual degree of health. During the past week there has been some increase of the cases of fever, which is no doubt attributable to the preva lence of a damp atinospliore—but the cases whichjdo occur are mild and easily subdued. The Board particulary request that the Owners of stores, houses and cellars, which are unoccupied, should have them white washed, and afterwards opened and venti lated, at least once a week.

Shame to us, that in lieu of encouraging our own institutions, we obstinately send our children to Northern Schools and Col egos, where, it is fearlessly affirmed, thoy, in general, although greater advantages may be enjoyed, make less profitable use of their time ; and where, from proximity to large cities, they are exposed to temptations dangerous to good morals ! Shame also to those parents, who, possessed of proper state feeling, send their sons to Athens— but, within a short timo, not sufficient to test its usefulness, yield, with unworthy sus ceptibility, to their causeless cnmpluints. and bring them home to aid in engendering undue impressions! With great pleasure have I observed that the first honor of the Univorsity, granted to a member of a grad uating class, the delivery of the Vuledictory Oration, was recently awarded to a young gentlcmau from Camden County. . I trust that it will arouse the public attention, and that our boys will be convinced that being sent home in disgrace, or returning disgust ed and unimproved, is not necessarily a consequence of matriculation at Franklin College.

This accursed I more recently to the opponents of tlm Jackson, has been recalled. Difficulties ofj unpleasant character, compelled this gen- i on t * le sentence, and in about an hour times on his post, Lt. Oeliers was called as a witness on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Elkins, tho counsel ofthe licensed, having excepted tu the testimony of this witiioss, 1st, because being the accuser, Ills testimony was not likely to be impartial : and, 2, because his name hud not been included in the list of the Judge Advocate—the Court was clear ed, and after a short consultation, the ob jections were overruled & the testimony ta ken- lt went fully to prove each of the specifications. The fourth instance linppent d when the schooner was lying on a reef of rocks, and when, if'nny wind should spring up. it would be requisite fur her immediately to quit tier station and beat out to sea. Of this, the Lieutenant was duly apprized. His go ing to sleep under such circumstances, led to his arrest, which was ordered by Coin. Rodgers wiien at Key West. The cross examination by the Counsel of the accused was directed to show that ho bad been exposed to great fatigue on the first of tnese occasions, and was ordered to two watches within the 24 hours. Lieut. Percy was then called by tho ac cused, to shea the hard duty in which lie had been euguged on the day previous to the first oftence, and the bad accommoda tions on board thoscliooner, &c. He testi fied that tile accused had been engaged nearly ten hours in cleaning out the schoo ner, and that the births were cunfioed so that tho officers and men often slept on deck —but that the hardships of Lt. Whitelock were no greater than those of other officers on board tho smaller vessels of the squadron —and that the time allowed for sleep was sufficient for the witness, though'it might not be for the accused, who was less accus tomad to service on board. The testimony being closed, the council of Lieut. Whitelock, promised to have the defence in readiness by to-morrow at 10 o’ clock—to which hour tho Court Adjourned Tuesday, August 16. Mr. Elkins, the Attorney for Lt. White- lock, read the defence, resting it upon the insufficiency of the evidence—the fatiguing duties which were to be performed—and the hardships experienced by him since the charges were preferred against him hv oipIrnnDo. The Court was then cleared to deliberate the spectators, on Spherics and Nuturul Philoso phy, the studies which they had pursued dur- ing the preceding session On Tuesday ten young gentlemen of the Class who bad been previous y selected from the two literary so. cicties of the institution, delivered original speeches to a crowded audience, which were received with the highest testimonies of ap.

The late commencement at Athens, Iibb been attended by a very large assemblage of the citizens of Georgia. Our excellent Chief Magistrate, Governor Troup, always devoted to the public welfare, and tho illus trious Statesman, William H. Crawford, were there, encouraging the' cause of lite rature, by their presence and actice influ. ence. Nothing in Georgia, is equally in teresting with the annual visit to Athens, made early in August. It is much to bo regretted that Franklin College has not re ceived that support from our District, which it merits, and which patriotism and state pride demand. I speak ot support from pa rents—for it may, with equal justice, be said, that tho Delegations in the General Assembly, from the Eastern District, have, invariably, by their votes, proved themselves and us at least, well-disposed ill behalf of the University. The homage paid it in the interior, is not vainly bestowed. In every village, its “ Alumni" are found. They em brace the learned professionsand in tho Legislature, on the Bench, at the Bar, in the Pulpit, and as Medical Men are becom ing of first importance to their country.— They will certainly introduce filial re-action on.tneir “ Alma Mater," a general attach ment to her interests- I regard these young men sb pillars of this great republic’s free dom—tho firm and enlightened friends of state rights, as understood at the time of the adoption of tho Federal Constitution, and in the darkest periods of our history since. Let not this be considered a gratuitous re mark. It is forced from me by this train of rede -lion. Tho popple of Georgia are ar dent and highly intellectual. When a pet- ty province, thoy rosisted, with unconquer able resolution, tho illegal enactments of the British Parliament. Rather than base ly yield lq British bayonets, thoy sent their wives and children beyond the mountains’ remaining to bleach with the bones of their Ineinles, tho polluted soil ol their nativity , . . . , doors were reopened, and the Cdurt then tleman to sever himself from the institution i p rocf!e( ] e( l to the early in the present year.

Of his pure morals, his unbending integrity, his cultivated intellect, and affectionate de portment, the students who have attended his lecturing room, give unequivocal and grateful testimony.

This gentleman is a nativo of Goorgia, a pupil of the late learned President Meigs, and one of tho graduated class of 1804—the first which obtained the honor of the Col lege. In addition to his regular duties, he is charged with a class in the French Lan guage.

This is well said in deed, and we are to understand by it, that whnnover wo shall got into collision with the Big.folks at Washington, Gon. Gaines is to despatch us, and from what I have been told by those who understand this sort of thi ig. it is donn pretty quickly, scarcely al lowing folks to say their prayers. It seems that a Georgian now a-days is regarded pret ty much as an Indian was in old times. I remember when I was a boy, that it was thought no harm to kill an Indian; but now mctiiinks, the ense is altered. Our red brethren the Jlluscogees who from timo im memorial, have been the most bitter of the tribes against our white people seein to stand well at head-quarters, in Washington and tho doctrine I find is coining rapidly in- - to fashion, that it will be no harm tu kill a Georgian.

He Imd been introduced to her protection by soino friends at Callao ; and she had suffered him to be brmijht on board, and continued there, wiiholt tho knowledge or consent of Cnptaiq Stiwart, because she considered him to be an tfficer of the patriotic army, and that he wouli cer tianly bo sentenced to death, and as cer tainly executed, if she withheld Iter consent. She could not see a humnn being in this dangerous situation without taking some measures to rescue him. She had, there fore, consented to his being brought on board, and employed by the Steward, until the Franklin arrived at some place of secu rity.

Vari- ous detachments of militia went accordim.. ly called out—they were commanded by iff. ficers of the General Government—were supplied with nrms and rations at the us. pense of the United States, nnd as an evi. de*ce of their title to receive pay, were re quired to exhibit certificates from the Gnv. ornor, specifying their employment under his orders, and lur defensive purpose.->. In 1793, in consequence of the havoc anil car nage of the savages, on the frontier, anoth- e'‘application was mudo, nnd the like do. cretionnry power given—the words of ti n Secretary of War being—"you are tie judge of tho degree .of dungor aud iu n. ration,” accompanied by a letter to the Cn,\. ornor of Smith Carolina, directing him m co operate in the defonce of Georgia, should the Govi rnor of that state require it; and further, that the United States would bn responsible for tho expenses. The state of Georgia was actually invaded, and the Out* ernor, as well in the exercise of his const;, lutionul power as ofthe orders of the Pru dent, called nut an additional force It suited tile policy of the National Gov. eminent, to confine these measures entirely to defence—and the troops einpluyed re ceived strict orders to confute lltemseltui to tire Georgia line—thus were they com pelled to witness, without the power to b#. sist, the murder of men, women and cli i- dren, along an extended frontier, nnd li.c plunder and devastation of slaves n:d other property, which reduced very many of thirse who escaped with life, to poverty and the deepest distress, from comparative wealth. These unfortunates never receiv ed any compensation from the Gov'eriimont until in the first treaty at the Indian Springs, a clause was introduced by which the Creeks were to pay from the cash al lowed them, the claims of the citizens of Georgia, for property stolen or destmvedby thorn. Yet, by a construction of the Uni ted States Commissioners, according to the public documents of the day, different trnm tho true intent of the treaty, no claim for property destroyed at any time by these In dians, or even for horses stolen by them be tween 1792 and 1796, was allowed This, at once, excluded a grout portion ofthe just cluims of our citizens, the ullowance of onuv half of which, would huvo rendered many of them easy and happy in their declining years.
