CEf Gen. Tom Thumb positively closes his
levees iu Savannah to-day, and no doubt all who
havo not yet Keen this wonderful phenomena
of nature should embrace tho present as tho only
opportunity they can over have of doing so. We
arc informed that this is positively tho last tour of
the General through the Union, as lie retires, ou
his return from tho South, to private life forovor,
to enjoy the princely fortune ho lias accumulated.
An Extra of the Museogco Democrat,
which should have been on our desk on Wednes
day night, was, by some accident, detained from
tho editors until yesterday.
It contains n letter dated ut Vora Cruz, on the
5th inst., which confirms.the safety of Capt. Loy-
all, of this State, who participated in tho gallant
light ut Iluamautla, and was within ten feet of tho
brave Walker when ho received hisdeath wound.
Lieut. Anderson, who, with live others, captured
Colonel La Vega, Major Iturbide, and two other
Mexicans, is attached to Capt. Loyall’s company.
Thu company, all told, number now 40—the
remainder have been killed, discharged, or aro in
the ditlerciit hospitals. Lovall had one killed uud
throe wounded utHuumunt!:!.
The Georgia Battalion of Iufuutry were garri

Capt. Hamilton’s company had arrived in the
James 1 . Day, at Vora Cruz.
Only Goulding’s, Nelson’s and Hamilton’s com-
p uiics had arrived.
We regret to learn, from this letter, tho (tenth
of Lieut. Stewart, of Florida, son of Col. D. M.
Stewart, formerly of Glynn county, Ga.
Hu was one of a hand of noble brothers who
left the comforts of home to endure tho perils of

that tho dependence of her upon them is far grea

We say, then, that wo rojoico to see in tho

should labor hand in hand. Much is to bo done

will see that a lino of steam communication bo

may both grow and prosper—to tho population
of 100,000 souls each, shining jowols on the bosom
of our glorious State,
We shall recur again to this subject so full of
interest to our readers.

WEASEL,
Suvuiumh mid Augusta—The Augusta Chroni
cle & iScntincL
In an aide editorial mi tho ‘•Annual Report of
tho Chief Engineer,” the Augusta Chronicle ft
Sentinel of tho 13th inst. contains some remarks
which have afforded us much pleasure, and which
wo take this opportunity of presenting to our
renders, it institutes a comparison between the
condition of the Cherokee country of Georgia at
this time, and that of Western Now-York in
1825, when tho Erie Canal was completed,
and argues that there is a strong resemblance be
tween the two, although the former has the ad
vantage over the latter of being 200 miles nearer
t'.ie sea-hoard:
"Cheap travel and cheap transportation soon
gave a lew counties in Western Now-York a ru
ral population of 400,000 souls. These industri
ous cultivators of a virgin soil paid the first cost
of the Erie Canal in a few years, and added one
hundred millions to the taxable property of the
State. Can nothing of this kind ho done in North
ern Georgia i A line of steamers from Savannah
to Now* York, with cheap tracr.1 and cheaper freight
between Northern Georgia ami the groat markets
of the world, whence immigrants aro to come,
will do for the Cherokee country what tho Eric
Caual.has done for Western Ncw-York. Pursue

TA AN K.1UAL NUM1IEH—THE KOHMEIt BV COM-
MKItCE, THE LATTEII IIV MANUKACTUIIES."
Wo have perused thcso remarks from our sis
ter city with no ordinary emotion of pleasure.
They display, ns it strikes ns, a growth of good
feeling and sympathy on tho part of the intelli
gent editors of the Chronicle ft Sentinel, and we
hope of the citizens of Augusta generally, Cor our
own sen-port, which promises a bright day fti the
future. .Much has been said and much written
about tho want of enterprise on the part of the
business men of Savannah. It has boon urged
that they Imve allowed tho rival city of Charleston
to gather tho fruits of Georgia improvements, and
havo failed to make use of the advantages they ob
viously enjoy. Had Suvauiiah struggled against
Charleston simply, had opposition come onlv
from abroad, had there been no feeling, no inter
est at home contending against her, had she en
joyed the privilege of a “fair Jielrl and no ft cor,"
long ere this she would havo shown to tho world
that s!iu was able, willing and anxious to struggle
for the high palm of being “thu (incou City of
the South.” Georgia would havo recognized in
hern commercial emporium of which she might
justly he proud. Wealth, capital, skill, enterprise,
commercial talent of every description, would
Imvc accumulated here, and would have found a
broad field for their cxcreiso, and a rich harvest
to garner. In her prosperity, tho State would
havo prospered; in her growing wealth, tho
State would havo boon enriched; and if, in addi
tion to all this, tho prejudices of wealthy portions
of the interior had been with and not against her,
had clustered around her to cherish and sus
tain her, even as do all the prejudices of Soiith-
Curoiitiians around their own sea-port, who can
define the bounds at which her development
would have stopped l
Unfortunately, however, there havo been inter
ests in Georgia supposed to be antagonistic to
those of Suvaiuiah. That this idea should havo
existed in past years is no reason for its perpe
tuation now. There has been feeling, and stroii"
feeling arrayed against her; ami vessels loaded
with the rich produce of our own soil have swept
by her wharves on their way to Charleston, and
fired salutes, in mockery, as they passed, it is
not our purpose to unquire into the reason of
tins, or to solve the problem as to where the fuult
originated, whether in hur own bosom or else
where. These tilings belong to the past; uud
‘•let the doud past bury its dead.” Suffice it to
say, that for years has she struggled against pre
judice whicfi.it required years to boget. Her
people have bceu disparaged, her advuntugos for
business underrated, unfavorable contracts drawn
between her and Charleston, until at length thu
hnrtghty commercial luminaries of the luttcr city
have come to speak uflior as au obscure point uu
Charleston Harbor, ftc.. ftr.
In a communication in the Charleston Courier,
of Thursday, signed “Weasel,” apparently inten
ded for efiect in tho upper portions of this State,
wo area little surprised to find tho grave assertion
advanced tliut Charleston has natural advantages
superior to any other seaport on tho Atlantic
coast except, perhaps, Now York.
Without desiring in the least to detract from
any advantages which Charleston may possess
from her vicinity to the ocean, and others, not ex
clusively enjoyed by her, we contend on the faith
of testimony not to ho refuted, tliat Bavaiinah has
a bar, the deepest and most accessible of any on
the Southern coilst. We have frequently in our
columns alluded to the Report of Captains Wool-
sey, Claxton, and Shubriek, of the Navy, to Mr.
Dickerson when Secretary of the Navy.
Charged with the examination of the* ports and
harbors south of the Chesapeake Bay, with a
view to their comparative advantages for tho es
tablishment of a Navy Yard, tlieso experienced
ollicers, after u personal inspection of tho several
ports whose draught of water gave claim to pub
lic attention, remark as follows;—
Depth of water and easy access being objects
of the first consideration, they (the said olficors)
uro of opinion that the ports of Charleston, Da*
rien, and St..Marys,being deficient iu depth of wa
ter to permit the entrance of a larger ship than u
sloop of war, are. unfit to compete icit.’i the. frigate
harbors of Beaufort, Savannah, and Brunswick.
Before arriving at this conclusion, these gentle
men say—“The harbor of Charleston has been
repeatedly surveyed, and recently by competent
officers of tho U. 3. Army. The chart projected
by them has been tested by the undersigned, and
the result proved its essential accuracy; from which
together with a Naval survey, in 1825, ami valua
ble information obtained from experienced pilots,
uud other sources, it would seem to ho established
that the bar at the mouth of the harbor is the main
obstacle to its present iisufiilnoss ns a- Naval sta
tion; for, being deficient in depth of water,no vessels
larger than sloops of war can pass, and they only
at high tides mid with a smooth soil.”
Speaking of Savannah, tho s.imo Naval Cap
tains remark— 11 The bar at the month of the Savan
nah riccr is the deepest, and most accessible of any on
the Southern coast. The average depth is J9feet
at low water; and hence, witfi a full tide, a frigate
may pass in safety.”
In tiie same Report it is stated by thcso com
petent olficors, (if at atl prejudiced, their prejudi
ces must have leaned to Charleston, for Captain
Shubriek was a native of that city,) that ‘‘the bar
of Charleston, which is of sand, forms an almost
continuous chain of breakers, running nearly
parallel with tho const, for nine or ten miles. The
tides and freshets of the river have broken thro’
this harrier, and four channels have been formed
for the discharge of tho waters. Three of them
are now incapable of being navigated by large
vessels, and the fourth, the main channel, is liable
to great changes from heavy gales. Within twenty
years if has been entirely removed from its former
site. It is displaced by more than half a mile
ami where formerly passed in security ships of 17
and 18 feet draught of water, now rolls n danger
ous breaker."’
Wo make these extracts,which if wc had room,
wo would extend, merely to remind tho Geor
gians of the interior that the frigate harbor of their
own Savannah is not surpassed, nor equalled
by tho sloop of war harbor of Charleston, and
that it behooves them iu every sense to promote
the trado of their own Seaport, and not ho
caught napping as has a weasel, when he de
clares Charleston superior to any other Seaport
ou tho Atlantic coast, except, perhaps,
York.
But we leave this point to ask their nttcntiou
to the following remarks of tho same Charleston
Correspondent—weasel—which exhibit to what
extent the people of Charleston desire the pros
perity of Augusta. Such arguments should urge
all iu Augusta to heave a Railroad connexion
with theirowu Seaport, and be careful how thoy
tiirow themselves into the lap of tho Seaport of
auothur State, who-'o citizens desire an iron
highway through Georgia, (for through Georgia
the connexion must lie,) and which highway they
say must be “solely and cr.clttsiccty her own, inde
pendent of the control of any legislative or oilier
authority whatsoever.”
Georgians of the East,West, of the 3!iddlc,oflhc
South, and of Cherokee Georgia,—are you pre
pared to yield an exclusive control of your Rail
roads Imilt with your own money,and a largo por
tion of tho latter extracted by taxation from your
own Seaport, to the demands of tho Seaport of
another State ? Pause, men of Georgia, before
thu iitllueiiee of wealth ami capital lure you to
take a step which posterity will coudemii, and
which your own judgments,formed on reflection,
will spurn. Butuiiuugh nt present.
AVkasei. exhorts tho Citizuus of South Car
olina iu the following siraiu :
‘‘It, says he, behooves tho Citizens of this State,
of every class uud condition, to concentrate their
means ami energies iu one common effort, unit
ing uud pulling together,to open au iron highway
from her seaport to tho mountains, tlienco to the
valleys of tho West, which shall bo solely and ex
clusively her own, independent of the control,
interference, or taxing power of any corporation,
municipality, or legislative authority whatsoever.
But, Alessrs. Editors, this desideratum is, under
tho existing statu of things, utterly unattainable
by any measures wo might suggest, or aid we
might contribute toudvunco tho construction of
Kail Roads connecting with Uio Georgia R. R.—
On the contrary, every dollar loaned or subscrib
ed to effect such connection !b a boon to 3a-
vannali, deeply prejudicial to the businoss of
Charleston, unless tlio interdict which exists at
Augusta by the enormous exactions, levied in tho
shape of bridge toll and licotiso of all vehicles, to
convey property from the terminus of the Geor
gia Rail Road to tliut of the South Carolina R. R
Henry Olay’s ftfiioecli.
Tho synopsis of tho Loxling toil speech of Mr.
Clay, which was received by last night’s mail,
does tho groat Whig embodiment no honor, and
wo ask ourselves on reading it—Is it Henry Clay
who spanks—Henry Clay, whoso own son died
for his country on n Mexican battle-field, uud
whose patriotism received his father's approba
tion, when in Now-Orleaus ho declared that lie
too might,or could slay a Mexican l It is tho same
Henry Clay, who now declares, us reported, that
“the Whigs in Congress were wrong in voting—
and never, so help him God, would lie havo dono
so—thoy wero wrong in voting for what they
knew to bo n lie, that war existed by tho net of
Mexico. Sooner than subscribe to such u false
hood, lie would lay down life itself."
Muny Whigs, and all Democrats will disap
prove of tho resolutions and speech of 31 r. Clay.
Better had he becu silent, for he has raised but
a feather to withstand tho tempest of public opin
ion, which will he excited in the assemblies ofthu
peoplo he invokes inhisWst resolution.
Let the people assemble, say wo, and show our
Government that with our gallant littlo army in
the heart of .Mexico, they with one voico resolve
to sustain a war, caused by an invasion of our
territory—to uphold a conflict which in the lan
guage of a patriotic Whig, “ was not the seeking of
the United States, hut of Mexico."
Wo cannot rejoice, as a partisan, that 3Ir.
Clay has sealed his political doom, Imt wc would
have rejoiced as an American had lie, as iu times
past, been emphatically the American Statesman
and Patriot.
But the hour being (ale, nud two mails from the
North with one from the West,we refer our rea
ders, for tiie present, to the resolutions.
Adhlni In Mexico.
“Mustang,” tho able correspondent of the New
Orleans Doltu, in an interesting letter from Mex
ico, dated Oct. 13, after reviewing the state of uf-
airs in that country, and after remarking tliat “tho
opposition, in carrying out their designs of over
throwing Santa Anna, opposed a peaco and urged
a prosecution of tho war” proceeds os follows;
“Their first uim was at tho destruction of tho army,
and to this end thoy organized it as large iw possi
ble, and lent their uid without reserve to arming
and equipping it in tho host possible manner,that it
•night havo no oxensu for its reverses; at the same
time, confident that whenever it came in contact
with tho American forces its rout uud destruction
would lie inevitable. Thus fur thoy have succeed
ed iw well ns thoy could desire, and following up
tho advantages thoy havo gained, every opposi
tion press iu tho country has attacked tho “lace
covered gentry” (tho ollicers of which number
22,000, according to thoir army register) iu ovory
assailable point, calling them cowards, robbers,
and every other epithet which they can attach to
i. Th "
them.
“1st. Resolved, As tho opinion of this meeting,
that thu primary cause, or the present unhappy
war existing between the United States of Amer
ica and the United States of the Repuhlicof 3Iex-
ice, was the Annexation of Texas to thu former;
ami thu immediate occasion of hostilities between
the two Republics arose out of the order of the
President of the United States for the removal of
thu Army under thu command of Gcu. Taylor,
from its position at Corpus Christi, to a point
opposite .Mutumorus, ou the east haul: of the Rio
Grande, within the territory claimed by both Re
publics, but then under jurisdiction of Muxico,
and inhabited by its citizens ; that tho order of the
President for the removal of tho Army to that
point was improvident mid unconstitutional, it
being without the concurrence of Congress, or
even consul tut ion with it, although it was in ses
sion ; but that Congress having by its subsequent
acts recognized tho war, thus brought into exist
ence without its previous authority or consent,
the prosecution of it became thereby national.
“2d. Resolved, That in the absence of any for
mal and public declaration by Congress of the
objects for which tho war ouglit to liu prosecuted,
thu President of tho United States, us Chief .Ma
gistrate, and as Commuudcr-in-Chiufof the Army
and Navy ofthu United Stdtes, is left to the gui
dance ut his own judgment to prosecute it, for
such purposes and objects as he may deem the
honor mid interests of the Nation to require.
“3rd. Resolved, That, by the Constitution of
the United States, Congress being invested with
power to dcclaru war and grant letters of murquu
and reprisal, to make rules concerning captures
by laud and water, to raise and support armies, to
provide and maintain a navy, muf to make rules
Ibr flic government of the laud and naval forces,
has the fullest and most complete war making
power on tho part ofthu people of the United
States, and so possessing it, has a right to deter
mine upon thu motives, causes and objects of the
war when once commenced or at any time during
the progress of its existence.
“4th. Resolved, In tho farther opinion of this
Mooting, that it is tho duty of Congross to de
clare, by some authentic act, for what purposes
and objects the existing war ought to lie further
prosecuted:—that it is the duty of the President,
in his odieial capacity, to conlorm to such decla
ration of Congress; and if after such declaration
the President should decline or refuse to endeav
or, by all tho mean *, civil, diplomatic and military,
iu his power, to execute the announced will of
Congress, and, in defiance of its authority, should
continue to prosecute the war for purposes mid
objects other than those declared by that body, it
would become the right and duty of Congress to
adopt the most efficacious measures to arrest the
further progress of the war, taking care to make
ample provisions for tho honor, Uio safety uud se
curity of our armies in 31oxico ill every contin
gency; mid if Mexico should decline or refuse to
conclude a treaty with us, stipulating for the pur
poses and nhjucts so declared by Congress, it
would ho the duty of the Government to prose
cute tho war with tho utmost vigilance until they
wore attained by a Treaty of Peace.
“5th. Rcsolceil, Tliat wc view with serious a-
larni mid arc utterly opposed to any purpose like
the annexation of Mexico to the United States iu
any mode, mid especially by conquest; tliut wo
believe tho two nations could not bo happily gov
erned by one common authority, owing to their
great difference of race, law, language mid reli
gion, and tho vast extent of their respective terri
tories, and the large amount of their respective
populations; that such a union, against the con
sent of tho exasperated Mexican people, could
only he cflected uud preserved by large standing
armies, mid the constant application of military
force; in other words, by despotic sway exercised
over tho Moxicau people iu the first instance, Imt
which, there would be just cause to apprehend,
might, ill process of time, ho extended ovei
the pcoplu of the United States; that wo dcpre>
cate, therefore, such a union as wholly incompa
tible with the genius of ourGovcriiineut, mid with
the character of our free and liberal Institutions;
mid we anxiously hope that each nation may be
left iu the undisturbed possession of its own laws,
language, cherished religion and territory, to pur
sue its own happiness according to what it may
deem best for itself.
“flf/i Resolved, That, considering the series of
splendid and brilliant victories, achieved by our
brave Armies and their gallant Commanders du
ring the War with Muxico, unattended by a sin
gle reverse, tho United Suites, without any dan
ger of their honor suffering tho slightest tarnish,
can practise tho virtues of moderation mid mag
nanimity towards their discomfllted foes. W e
have no desire for tho dismemberment of tho Re
public of Mexico, but wish only a justmul proper
fixation of the limits of Texas.
’‘7th Resolved, That wo do positively and em
phatically disclaim mid disavow any. wish or do-
sire on our part to acquire any foreign territory
whatever for the purpose of propagating Slavery,
or of introducing Slavery from the United States
into tiny such fbreigu territory.
“8th. Resolved, That wo invito our fellowcit
izens oftho Uuitod States who aru anxious for the
restoration of tho blessings of peace, or, if the
existing war shall continue to bo prosecuted,
that its purpose and object shall he defined mid
kiiowu; who uro anxious to prevent present uud
future perils mid dangers with which it may he
fraught; and who aro also uuxious fo produce
lio Government ru/ interim, litis officially
withdrawn tho nominnlcommatid oftho army from
Suuta Anna, placed Gun. llincou ntits head, mul
ordered u court-martial to try Santa Anna for
the defeat sustained by tho army iu defence oftho
city. Whether this party, who are ondeuvorini
to profit by the advantage of circumstances, wil
bo ublo to make peace is a matter of uncertainty;
some of them aru evidently and ingeniously en
deavoring to bring about such a result, while oth
ers aro lying apparently still watching the pro
gress of events.
“At this crisis of flic affairs, another Richmond
has entered tho field, who requires our particular
attention. Thu visit of Paredes bus developed
itself. Wo luvo heretofore been led to be-
liuvo that thu idon advanced, that one uf tho Euro
poan powers was desirous of planting a sprig of
its dynasty iu this coutitryy, was one of those
political speculations frequently emanating from
fertile imaginations. Wo could not he induc
ed to believe that Louis Philippe, iu his declin
ing days, would ibr u moment entertain tho pro
ject of sending hero thu Duku do 3Iontpen-
sicr (for I cannot think who else it could he) for
thu purpose of extending his sovereign power
over this benighted country, which would inevi
tably terminate in the assassination of his son,
and tho usurpation of his authority by some inili-
tarv aspirant; mul that too, at the hazard of in
volving Franco in a war with the United Stutes
but, to our surprise, such is the fact. A propo:'
tioit has been agreed to on the part of France,
by which, if Mexico will produce the signatures
of 3900 laud-holders, pledging themselves to sup
port mul maintain the measure, then Franco
will place a prince on thu throuu here to govern
and rule. A paper to that efiect is now in cir
culation. and every cllbrt being made ou the part
of its friends to accomplish tho object. Near
ly the whole of the Church are giving it their
warm support, and using every means iu their
power to curry it .successfully through, looking
upon it as thu only means of perpetuating tho in
terests and influence ofthu ecclesiastical body. A
great many of tho Centralists, of wealth and
strength, who havo heretofore opposed tho meas
ure with decision nud energy, conceiving their
power and place to ho among the things that were
and hoping by this movement to bo able to regain
a portion of what they have lost, aro not only co
inciding with it, Imt are lending it their uiutividcr 1
aid aud influence. Also, some ofthu Conserve
lives mid those of a nuutra! temperament in poli
tics liuvo yielded to the project.
“The main body of the opposition to Santa An
na aru busy combmingall the elements of their for
ces to avert the threatened blow, aud retain the
advantage, gained over their political adversaries.
They aro very seriously alarmed with reference t
the new movements, mid wo arc led to hcliov
that they are doubtful of success against their new
Qompetitors.
“However, the time has now arrived that re
quires our Government to act instead of talk, and
to assume a position in reference to the political
movements upon this continent that will enable it
to he clearly and distinctly understood,and where
by it will be able to speak in a decided aud em
phatic tone—that its intentions cannot hu mistak
en—that thu Powers of Europe may he able
judge of what they will have to cticuunter win*
they attempt to place their feet upon this conti
nent.”

The following are the resolutions submitted by
Alderman Lawton, and unanimously adopted by

MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 18.
Gentlemen—You will havo noticed a chasm in
tho rogular order of proceedings in tho Sonata",
soiltyou, of what was dono in that body on Mon
day, tho 15th inst. Tho reason for which is, that
was unable sooner to obtain tho use of tho Jour
nal oftliat day, because tjio Recording Clerk, with
tut expedition unusual to that offirter generally,(ex
cept of this session,) has pressed upon tho heels
of business, so as to requiro tho use of the Jour
nal to tho exclusion of reporters, until by hii:\ re
corded. By his kindness I have to-day overlook
ed them, Ttnd now forward whatever of general
iutcrcst is therein contained.
Mr. Simmons introduced a bill to provide for
tho electiou of Judges of the Superior Courts of
Georgia, by tho peoplo of their several districts.
Mr. Forman, from tho Committee on the peti
tion of E. II. Bacon, Esq., reported a resolution
favorable to tho prayer of the petitioner, which
related to a compilation of tho laws mid resolu
tions passed by the Guncrul Assembly, from the
year 1830 to tho year 1840; which, on motion of
3Ir. Reese, wus laid oil tho table for thu present.
Mr. Ilecse reported a bill fertile amendment of
the laws with respect to wills, so fur as to do
away with nun-cujmtive wills, &c.
Mr. Irwin—A hill to detormiuo the precedence
of demunds against debtors in certain cases.
Also, u bill to govern motions for new trials ill
tho Superior Courts of this Slate.
3Ir. Marks moved to take up tho resolution re
lating to the importation of slaves into this State.
3Ir. Willingham moved to lay thu resolutions on
the table for the present, which was lost. The
question then recurred upon the muendmciit of
Mr. Forman, which was lost. Thu original res
olution wus then agreed to, and referred to a se
lect - tec, consisting of 3Iess. Marks, For
man, Wales, Chastain,and .Moore.
Among the hills passed, I notice one to repeal
mi act requiring head rights to ho taken out by
tho 25th of December, 18-18.
Those are all tho matters of general intoroJ,
occurring ou tho day above specified.
I sent you yesterday u copy of the Report of
the President ol" the Central Bank, mid would
have scut at the sumu time a copy of the memorial
oftho Savannah Chamber of Commerce, but as it
wils printed iu Savaunali, I presume its details
aro in your possession. Any action thereon will
be promptly communicated to you.
From inadvertence, I Imvc omitted to state,that
Mr Speaker Jenkins, having obtained leave of
absence for alow days, on motion of Mr. Shock-
ley, Mr. Jones, of Paulding, was elected Speaker
pro tern, and has continued to discharge tho duties
of the Chair with his usual ability.
In Senate, yesterday, several new hills were
introduced. Among them 1 noticed one by Mr.
Wiggins, to amend the several acts exempting
from levy and sale, certain property uf judgment
or attachment debtors.
Another, by Mr. Hunt, to reduce tho number of
Justices of the Inferior Court iu each county, mid
to compensate such as may ho hereafter elected.
Another, by Mr. .Marks, to amend au act to in
corporate the Muscogee Rail Road Company.
Also, one by the Judiciary Committee,to amend
and explain the several acts for the limitations of
actions.
Mr. Wales, from the same Committee, appoint
ed to inquire into tho force uud ollcct of existing
laws relative to u divorce a vinculo matrimonii, re
ported that an alteration of tho Constitution was
necessary.
Mr. Boynton, from the Committee on Finance,
reported in favor of paying the claim of Peter
Trezoymit.
A resolution was passed by the House, to ap
point a Committee of live oil its part,and three on
the part of tho Senate, to consider what action
may bo tnkenbythc General Assembly, upon 3Ir.
Whitney’s project to construct a Rail Road con
necting the Atlantic mid Pacific Oceans. The
Committee appointed are 3Iessrs. Bartow, Phil
lips, Ramsay, Jackson, mid Tift.
Iu the House, Mr.Sliockley reported n hill to
found aud establish iu the University of Geor
gia a Professorship of Agricultural Chemistry.
Also, a hill by Mr. 'Freeman, to authorize the
Directors of the Central Bank—and iu certain
cases the Treasurer—to dispose of certain insol
vent or unavailable assets of said Bank.
Resolutions were introduced by 31r. Freeman,
in reference to tho measures of tho General
Government; which was referred to the Com
mittee on tho State of the Republic—iu conse
quence, I have yet Jmd no opportunity to see
them.
But little ofiutcrost occurred iu the House. Its
time was chiefly occupied with the dry monotony
of reading hills tho second time.
I send you this morning an interesting docu
ment in the shape of a Protest, by a portion of
tho Senate, against the" election of nU. S. Sena
tor, for the term of six years commencing from
4th .March, 1819.
The Agricultural Fair canto off yesterday, with
considerable hclat, considering that it is yet in a
state of infancy. .Many bountiful specimens of
agricultural mid horticultural implements were
exhibited, and your city was well represented iu
the show. The Ladies, too, claimed their depart
ment ; and exhibited many elegant, tasteful, mid
admirably executed specimens of their industry
uud ingenuity ; beyond all, however, they exhi
bited their bright eyes and sweet smiles, that
spoke eloquently, and pierced and softened the
hearts of all who had the pleasure of visiting them
in the Musouiu Hall. Prizes have not yet been
awarded.
In the afternoon, the Agricultural Society met
iu the Hall of Representatives, for the transac
tion of business. Their proceedings 1 will report
so soon ns obtained from their Secretary, JJ. W.
Lewis, Etq., who has kindly promised to supply
me with them. At night, several excellent ad
dresses were delivered by distinguished gentle
men. Dr. Loo, editor of the Southern Cultiva
tor, and Dr. White, (of Madison, I think,) were
the most prominent. Their cflbrts uro highly ap
plauded.
I have forgotten heretofore to state, that 3Ir.
Whitney has entertained .our citizens with his
theory on tho project of connecting the Atlantic
aud Pacific Oceans by Rail Road. Ho certainly
has awakened inquiry, and excited interest; mid
many who went to sneer, came away deeply im
pressed, if not thoroughly convinced, oftho prac
ticability ofhis schqine. Respectfully yours,
