when there shall bo no sessiou of tho Legislature,
and to require tho Governor to appoiut throe per

of the Book Kcupor, and report tho same to tho

Mr. Jackson of Walton—To oxplniu “an art

liability of endorsers and securities to promissory

Also—To explnin tho 5th see. ofnn act approv
ed March 26th, 1767, for the limitation ofuctions,
and for avoiding suits ntlnw.
Mr. Till—To Bocnro tho poor School Fund of
the Suite, and to make tho mconio uniform and
permanent.
A number of local bills woro also introduced
by difiereut members.
Tho House took up and passed tho bill ofSoti-
ate, to provide for the establishment and locution
of an Asylum for the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind, by
a vote or 110 Yeas, to 9 Nays.
Mr. Moseley from the Committee on tho Pen
itentiary, presented a report on the affairs oftliat
institution; 201) copies of which were ordered to
bo printed.
The House took up tho spccinl order of the
day, being the Bill to provide for tho removal of
the sont ofgovernnient of this Stato, to the Town
of Atlanta, in DcKalb County. Air. Gaulden
proposed uu aineiidmentto tho iirst section,which
provided that the government shall he removed
iVoin Millcdgeville whou satisfactory assurances
shall ho rendered that it shall bo accomplished
withoiitexnensetotlie State.
Mr. Nciuit proposed as a substitute, to remove
the sent of government to the City of Macou. A
hurricuno followed. Messrs. Bartow, Harris of
Baldwin, and Gartrell, opposed the removal.—
Messrs. Nisbot, and Jackson of Walton, in favor,
Mr. Bartow's effort wus admirable, mid elicited
tho plaudits of u large and interested audience.—
Air. Harris also is highly commended, as was Mr.
Gartrell. Messrs Nisbet and Jackson spoko with
ability. The former geutleman touched utopic,
that, as I thought, was rather unfortunate for the
cause lie espoused. He romurked that tho pub
lic buildings in Millodgevile had been erected at
a 'great cost, and evoit now appropriations were
called for occasionally, for repairs, &c. Tho drift
of his argument seemed to bo to provo that the
work was badly dono, and that it would bo boat to
abandon thorn for better, which would not need
repeated appropriations for ropairs, &c. Ou
hearing which, I was reminded of Esop's fable of
the Fox, Swallow and Flies. A Fox, as Esop
tells the story, swimming acrosss a river, became
entangled in some vines near the bank, whore he
wa {exposed to the uttneksofswurms of fliospvluch
being observed by a Swallow, he kindly offered
to drive them away: “by no means, says the Fox,
f or if these who ure sufficiently gorged should
bo driven off, another more hungry swarm
would succeed, and I should bo robbed of every
remaining drop of bland.” If the Stato lius
been sucked pretty deeply by tlio money expen
ded on tho buildings, I seo no reason why there
fore site should be subjected to tho sutne treat
ment from another hungry set elsewhere. Tito
buildings necessary for the government and its
offices, are completed and paid for—die expense
is passed; and I cannot understand the economy
of incurring it over again: for in truth I regard
the promises to build ns similar in texture to some
of those to pay which many of our people yet re-
member to their cost.
But to return to tho hill—-The vote was taken
on receiving Mr.Gnttldcu’s amendment,whichwas
agreed to. Yeas 60, Nays55. Tho House then
adjourned until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning—
when I suppose (ho Stato House, Executive mutt-
sion, Arsenal and Alagaziue, with their appenda
ges will bo transported to Macon, Atlanta, or
some more favored spot, os if touched by thereat
of the Lamp.
In tho Senate, a motion ntudo by Air. Marks,
to reconsider the hill rejected yestoruuy to estab
lish a system of common Schools, wus lost.
Mr. Simmons reported a bill to define tho lia
bility of Hupreseulutives of duccused copnrtucrs
in certain cases.
Also, to explain and amend tho first section of
an act assented to the 21st Dec. 1821, in rela
tion to “estates tail." Several small bills wero al
so reported.
Air. Snider moved to amend the resolution
of tho House relative to electing a Director Ibr
tho State of tho Bank Stuto of Georgia, by insert
ing the “15th iustuut” os the day, wmch was
agreed to.
The following bills were passed in the Senate:
A bill to reorganise the Judicial District of this

To amend tho Charter of the Alemphis Branch

Central Itotl Roiul.
The annual Convention of tho S’oekholders
of tho Central Rail Road & Banking Company
of Georgia, was held yosterduy at the Exchange.
Dr. Burroughs, Alnyor of the City, presided.—
Robert H. Grilliu, F.sq., acted os Secretary.
Tlio Reports of tho Prosidont and the Engi
neer of the Company were submitted mid road.
It was then decided by tho Convention to ad
mit the holders of eight per cent stock to the priv
iloge of voting, a lurge majority voting in favor
of grouting them the privilege.
It was subsequently resolved to authorize n
conditional subscription of $250,000 to tho stock
of tho Southwestern Rail Road Company in lieu
of tho conditional subscription to the extonded
road which has heretofore been contemplated.
Another resolution wax passed authorizing an
application to the Legislature so to amend tho
charter us to ollow tho Alayor and Aldermen of
Savannah to ho represented at t'.io BoaVd by a
Director of their own selection.
The proceedings shall appear in our next pa
per.
EtP’As our business engagements are such ns
to require our sorviecs almost exclusively in our
office, wo have beou unable to koop paeo with
many changes that have recently taken place
in the business houses oftlio city, and consequent
ly have not taken us much notice of them as wo
otherwise should havo done. We however ob
served yesterday, that Air. George S. Nichols
has taken tlio old stand until rocently occupied
by Air. I. W. Morrell, mid is now opening n
now and extensive assortment of Clothing, which
cannot fail to please those who may examine it.
Air. A. B. Gardner has commenced tho Glass,
Crockery and House-furnishing business in tho
store heretofore occupied by Alessrs. Weeds &
.Morrell, No. 102 Bryan street; and Air. Phillip
Kean has moved from Owens’ buildings to the
store in which Alessrs. John Southwell & Co.
carried on tho Clothing business.
Tliero ore several others who wo would tako
pleasure in noticing, but ns most of them continue
to do business where they are already established,
and tlio demand oil our columns is unusually ur
gent at this season, we must content ourselves
with referring to their respective advertisments
to be found in our pnper.

do not, nor shall they bo deemed to, apply .to that
portion of the country west and south of the riser
Nueces, excopt so fores to withdraw, and if need
be, tt> rescue our army from the region Of the
Rio Grande." This amendment wnsryectedby a
vote of yeas 8 to nays 123.
• Mr. Delano offered an addition to the oleventh
section providing “that nothing herein contained
shall be considered as approving the conduct of the
President, in taking armed occupation of any
territory lying botween tlio river Nueces and the
Rio del Norto, and claimed hy Alcxico ns uever
having constituted part of tho province of Tex
as during the timo thot Texas constituted part of
the Mexican Republic." This was iiejkctkd
BY A VOTE OF 97 TO 27. '
Upon tho final question “shall this bill pass 7"
tlio ayes woro 174, Uio uoes 14; in the Senate tho
ayes were 40 and tho noes 2. This is the histo
ry of tho proceedings of Congress which “stereo
typed," according to Whig prints, a palpable false
hood upon the records of tlio nntioiu In this act,
according to thoir interpretation involving tho
grossest moral turpitudo, and proclaiming a dis
graceful “lie" to tho world, nearly tho whole of
tho Whigs In Congress participated. After it had
become a law, the President of tlio United States
was bound, as tbo Executive magistrate of tho
nation, to curry out its provisions, to regard and
to respect its declarations. - IIo did so ; and be-
catiso ho now assorts in his mossuge that “the ex
istence of the war having tints been declarod by
Cougross, it became my duty under tho constitu
tion and tho laws, to conduct and prosecuto it,"
he is at once met with consuro and abuse, ns at
tempting to screen himself undor a “stereotyped
falsehood." If, then, it bo urged tliut the Whigs
iii Congress voted for it—-tho only roply to bo
made is, “ True—but they voted for a lie
Voted fora lio 7 Is it necessary for the Whig
party thus tocrimiuuto and to vilify itself in order
to rcnch the President? Woro evor politicians
placed in ho dosporato a position boforu? But
tho organ iiiSuvanuah attempts to excuse this gross
departure from truth and morality upon tho
ground of coercion. “ The call (if the previous ques
tion precluded all debate”—and thus “ tlio Whigs,
many of whom protested against tho preamble,
and all of whom wero known to be opposed to it,
were driven cither to withhold aid from our army
or vote for the bill with this preamble, and a stern
souse of patriotism compelled them to choose tbo
last alternative." Certainly a call oftlio previous
question never worked such wonders hefaro.
The Bill of tlio House, to niter and amend an
act to incorporate the Snvuimuh Oseeliee and
Altamaha Canal Company,passed 2Gtli Deo.1826,
Several local bills wero passed.
Among those lost, I noto the following :
To authorize tho Central Rail Road & Bank
ing Company and the Aliicon &. Western Rail
Road Company to form a junction in or near
the limits ol the City of Macon.
To reduco the number of tho Justices of the
Inferior Courts in this State.
To authorize the Courts of Ordinary to grant
lettors testauientuiy to persons not citizens of this
Statu.
To alter and amend the 7th section, 1st article
of tlio Constitution of this State.
oiways operates to precludo debate; when imme
diate action is requisite upon nbill (as was tlio case
under consideration) it is always made; but cer
tainly there never wus a more ridiculous “non
acquitur” than tho supposition that it placod the
Whigs in this most trying dilemma. The sumo
majority which sustained tlio cnll for tho provious
question, would liuve sustained tho preamble to
the bill, containing the declaration that iear exist
ed by the act of Mexico. Soonor or later tlio ques
tion would havo been raised, and tho dilemma
made. And tho same majority that would huve
passed the preamble after debato would have pas
sed the bill, without tlio aid of theso patriotic
Whigs, who voted fora "palpable falsehood,” or
“a stereotyped falsehood,” or a “palpable lio,” os
taste or humour may havesuggested tlio term rath
er thun “withheld aid from our army." They could
not hate withhold aid from our army! “Their
stern senso of patriotism” could have hud no prac
tical utility whatever. Our army would huvojicen
aided without its exercise; and the only benefit ac
cruing to the nation by their vote was in tho mural
effect produced by tlio unanimity of Congress up
on tliut subject. And now, when that unanimity
is referred to, they tell us—“ It did not oxist—there
was no such thing—wc voted for a lio! Our stern
sense of patriotism compelled us To vote for “a
palpable lie !” And Air. Polk must not use it
as any tiling else!”
Oh ! slmme where is thy blush! They voted
for a “ lio,” knowing it to bo such. “ Many of
them protested against the preamble, and all of
them were known to be opposed to it." And tlio ex
cuse set up for this conduct is that they wero
forced to do so, or “ withhold supplies from our
army,” which is assuredly the idlest of humbugs,
since they did not have the power (supposing tho
will) to withhold them.

On this tenth duy of November, ono thousand
eight hundred and forty-six, appeared boforo me
tho within named HENRY JOHNSON, and
fior. Crawford’* Financiering.
The letter of “Harry Homespun" which nppears
in our columns this morning, and to which wo
would direct tho especial otteutiun of our ren
ders. confirms the views which wo have already
advanced iu relation to tho financiering of his late
Excellency, ns illustrated by the awkward posi
tion in which ho has placed the State in reference
to tho debt of Alessrs. Reid, Irving & Co. It
gives some otlior items of Gubernatorial bungling
which will serve to throw additional light upon
tho subject, and additional gloom upon tlio Ex-
Governor’s once “ brilliant reputation." It ap
pears that the right oftlio State to withdraw a duo
proportion oftlio bonds left as security iti tho
hand*/ ofthis Loudon firm ns the original debt was
reduced by payments, was not dependent alone
upon the abstract principles of justice, but was a
matter of actual stipulation between tlio parties.
The ovidouce of this fuct was of record in Alii-
Icdgovillo, proving, at one and the sninu timo, thn
ignorance and negligence of Goo, Crawford, and
the sagacity and prudence of his predecessor. For
other gross errors committed by him wo refer to
tho interesting letter of our correspondent, simp
ly contenting ourscivos with inquiring why tlio
Whig press, once so eulogistic of Crawford, havo
nothing to say in his defence against facts which
are rapidly becoming notorious 7
DECEMBER 14.
The bill lost yosterdny, relative to the union of
the Central Ruil Road and the Alacou & Westei
Rail Road at Alneon, was reconsidered this morn
ing. As was tho hill allowing citizens of other
States to receive letters testamentary.
In Urn Senate, Air. Hulloway reported a bill
to revivo and make of force, nn net to incorpo
rate the Thomuston and Burncsvillu Ruil Road
Company.
Several local bills hnvo been also pnssed.
Tho House of Represensativcs are again under
way outlie bill to remove thu Seat of Govern
ment—up to tins moment without an issuo.
Col. Whiteside, from Tennessee, has just
boeu introduced by a special committee, to the
Hall of tlio Sennte, and delivered a short, but
neut address, explanatory of the object of his
mission to Georgiu.
The Snnute has this moment pnssod the bill of
the House to authorize pnrtics to compel dis
covery nt common law.
By the way, I must be allowed to return to tho
Seat of Government subject. You would have
been amused, if not edified, at some of the
reasons given why the removal should bo made.

befonio wont into olfico. Ofcourso tlio balance
reniaijng Was £23,000. Of this sum tlio amount
of abqt £15,000 is the actual sura clue, while
the reminder, say £8,000, is the amount remain
ing in \o hands of Held, Irving & Co., beyond
tlio d^xdue, instead of £22,500, ns suited hy his
late Excoiuacy. I havo avoided fractious. Hero
then is nndiako oftlio “Grout Financier,” of up
wards of £11,900, equal to'near $70,000.
AuoUier did stranger fuct has been developed
by tho histoy of this transaction. When Reid,
Irving &Ca, disposed of £15,000 of theso bonds,
there rcinaijud in their hands £3,000 boyond the
amount nctitilly duo to them, which excess wus
pledged as security for tho payment of said n-
mount. As payments wore made from timo to
timo on theonountdiio, tho State was clearly en
titled to have a rateable proportion of the excess
restored to t. There is evidence in the Execu
tive dcpartiniut of un acknowledgment hy Reid,
Irving & Co.oflhis right oil tlio part of thu State.
Yet strange t» say, during four years, ill which
interval $301591 have been paid upou this debt,
as per message of his Excellency, he has failed to
exercise this at/cnowledgcd right, and bus permit
ted Reid.Irviig & Co.,to retain the whole excess
of £8,000 iu tkeir hands, in addition to the £15,-
000, although there remuins duo but the latter
sura ; and although two years ago §101,591 had
been paid into thoir hands, ns per his Excellency’s
message. In Tact, speaking in round numbers,
there ought not to have been nn excess at this
tithe of more than £1,500, unless his Excellency,
iii (lice oftlio originul contract, hns hy some snb-
ioquent arrangement with Reid, Irving & Co.
vhich ho hns not made known to the good puo-
jle of Georgiu, placed an additional number of
houds iu Uieir hands.
Wo nre now gravely told by his lute Excellen
cy iu his recent inessnge that “it might bo regard
ed ns an alarming incident, if tho bonds ‘ pledg
ed to them, ns a security for their udrtuiccs to
thu Stato, and exceeding tho amount of theso ad
vances about £22,500, should bo put afloat on
tke market,” nnd we are referred by his Excel
lency “fora “guarantee” against such contingency
to tlio “established integrity oftliat firm." Tims
the Stuto has been left by his Excellency to find
n gimrnntco against pecuniary loss,not in the vig
ilance of its public servant, but in tiie individual
houesty of a private foroign Banker. “Tell it
uotin Gath, publish it not in the Streots of As-
kelon.”
Iu the above calculations I mu substantially
correct, but I have eschewed fractious with a holy
horror, ami apply to myself the linos oftlio im
mortal poet:
Multiplication is voxution,
Division is as bad:
Thu Rule of three, it puzzles tne,
And Practice makes mo mad.
And as I havo no doubt these lines, judging hy
his specimens of arithmetic, must have frequent
ly run through tho mind of his Excellency,
would respectfully suggest them as tut epitaph
for Georgia’s great “financier,” vfhen lie shall
hare “slmtlled off this mortal coil.”

In our day it is nn easy matter, generally, to in

With this difficulty we nro met iu noticing the

For nearly ten years sho was a widow, nnd in
that state she Jived iu perfect accordance with die
admonitions of the Apostle of Nations. Next to
the important concern of her own soul, tiie care
and education of an only son devolved on her.—
She looked on him uh given to her by God to

Gravity, silence, humility, prudcuco, wisdom, pa
tieuce, discretion, meekness, zeal, piety and gen
erosity, were tho clfurnctcristic virtues which
marked thu tenor of the life of this incomparable
ludy. A decline snatched her from an only child,
from a female orphan which she adopted, from an
aged parent, from devoted brothers nnd uu only

HAVRE, Nov. 15.—Cotton.—Somo symp
toms of improvement in business began to mani
fest themselves in tho early part of last week, ow
ing to tho more wholesome character of the ac
counts from England, aud there being a good at
tendance of deulurs from the trade, tho buying
during the first two or three days was to a fair
extuut. Holders, encouraged by the amended
aspect of things, evinced n considerable degree of
firmness and raised their pretensions, which pro
duced an ndvatico of about f.l on all American
Cottons, and ulthoiigh tho demand was confined
to tho wautx for consumption, there appeared to
be, gcucrally speakiug, n feeling of confidence in
a gradual and continued amelioration. But the
urrival of the Alissoiiri steamer on Thursday, with
advices from the United States to 25th ult. oper
ated a complete change in the situution of our
market, tho unfavorable impression created by
the intelligence, has checked tho spirit of purcha
sers, nnd siucu then the transactions havo been on
nn extremely restricted sculo. Tlio reaction hns
had a prejudicial effect on prices, which huve not
only lost the ground thoy had previously gained,
but liuve receded still further, and American ordi
nary and inferior descriptions ure now f.l below
the quotations reported iu our previous circular.
Tlio arrival of the Cnmbriasteainer, bringing dates
to 1st inst. is daily expected, hut ns they will prob
ably not differ materially from those already in

“The Stereotyped Falsehood.”
This is the language applied hy the National In
telligencer to the stntementcontainnd in theActof
Congress of the 13th May ’46, and referred to in
tho President’s Message, declaring that “the
war exists by the act of Mexico.” Mr. Clay pro
nounced it a “palpable falsehood,’’ but as tlio word
“stereotyped" is peculiarly suitable to tho print
ing profession, tlio National Intelligencer, follow
ed by some of its satellites, has so far varied from
“the master's” teachings, as to substitute die latter
for tlio former qualifying epithet. As we per
ceive that the Whig presses, taking their cue
from General Headquarters ut Lexington, ure dis
posed to make this matter a topic of remurk,
and in order to do so, are manfully struggling
to excuse their party in Congress from rcprouch
on the ground of supporting tlio bill containing
this (to them) most hateful declaration, wo pro
pose to give the subject u moment’s consideration.
Wo shall show by the proceedings of Congress
upon this bill, that while a very large majority of
both Houses gave it their support upon its final
passage , questions were raised during its discus
sion in the House of Representatives, the deci
sion of which approved aud justified the whole
course of the President.
The first section of the bill gnve to the President
authority “to resist any attempt which may. bo
made oil tho part of any foreign nation, to ex
clusive jurisdiction over any port of the territory
oftlio United States, or any territory in disputo
between thfl United Slates uud any foreign gov
Corrniponiteucoof tho SuvnumihGoorginn.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Dee. 13,1817.
Messrs. Editors :—-Queer things nro going on
hero. ‘Tlio Stato is being zig-zagged in evory di
rection by tho Legislature, in chartering Rail
roads. Ill one house n road from Macon to Mad
ison hns been incorporated, nnd in the other,one
from Atlanta to West Point. Tho movemont in
relation to the Wilkes Road has proved the sig
nal for a general scramble. So much for Rail-
Roads, which are destined, if all the charters nre
carried out, to cross and jostle each other like
“Busses" in Broadway.
Tho “financial talents" of the late Governor
are beginning to bo “appreciated."
He came into offico at an auspicious moment.
The general causes which had begun to operate,
and had enabled other States to extriento them-
solves from their embarrassments commenced to
be felt in Georgia when lie succeeded to offico.—
In addition to these, there were local and particu
lar causes at work;—the Inking from tho counties
tlio tuxes usually voted to thorn, and placing them
in tho Treasury of tho State,—tho arrest of expen
diture on tho State Rail Road;—tho saving of ex
pense by die reduction, and by the biennial ses
sions oftlio Legislature,—the increase of taxation,
and other legislative measures,prior to Mr. Craw-
fa rd’s election,which throw resources into the Trea
sury,Imd the effectofappreciuting Slate bonds,and
enabled him to make heavy payments on the public
debt. People look to offubts and not to causes.
Tho payments on tho debt took place aud tho
bonds appreciated in value (\f\er ho cauio into
■office, and the idea was sedulously urged that
what wus subsequent in time must have necessar
ily been the effect of thu preceding event, nl-
though tliero was in fact no connection between
tho two. “Post hoc, ergo, propter hoc," was tlio
argument of tbo friends of Mr. Crawford; and
with those good people, who look not beyond the
mirfaco of thiugs it proved conclusive. Tlio
Whig Press kept before tlio people tho rise in
the Stato Bonds nnd the diminution of tlio pub
lic debt which succeeded tho election of Mr. C.;
but kept carefully iu the back ground tlio logis-
tive measure which prcccedcil that event, and
which produced that appreciation, and effected
Unit diminution. Hence tho popularity of the
late Governor,certainly not pcrsonul, arose from
tho iiiistukeu astimato formed of Jiis financial
abilities. Some one has well observed that “the
impartial future will soldoin fail to correct tho er
rors of a mistaken present.” This process is
going on in relation to his late Excellency—cir
cumstances are developing the fact that he was
notliing more nor less than the conduit or sewer
through which the treasure raised by legislative
enactments passed into the pocket of the public
creditor. The intelligent not hljuded by party
mists always know this, but a fuct of recent oc
curence Htuggers the fiiith of those most credu
lous of the “financial abilities of his late Excellen
cy.”

Garnett.
Itbeuiunttam.
Tais is ono of tho very nrevulcut complaints pe
culiar to our climate, and is certainly among tlio
most painful and agonizing to which humanity is
subjtet. Many are the ‘remedies’ ottered for its
cure, though low are such iu reality. But it is
bolievud that a cure for Rheumatism does exist,
und that lens of thousands now sutlering, uud des
pairing of relief, might obtain positive and per
manent exemption from this dreadful disease.
Thn following certificate, which has lately bueu
received, will ciutblo tho afllicled to judge for
theiBselvcs. It is an
EXTRA'ORDINARY CASE,
and far the satisfaction of the incredulous, it has

“Hereby certify, tliut for the past thirteen years,

Samitimes the pain has been so great tliut I have

almnt completely destroyed. I was troubled
with low spirits, my bruin was seriously affected,

was taken to the City Hospital, and put under the

other, physicians of the Hospital for the space of
six weeks, but,-as I-only got worse, I was token to
the Seamen’s Hospital ut Staten Island, where I
was several weeks undergoing a process of mer
cury.—This nearly killed me, nnd tlio doctors told
me I mist soon die. As I had road the advertise
