Tho manner in which you have bestowed it, humbles me with a sense of my own umvorthincsB. 1 know that I shall stand in need of your most liberal support in discharging tho duties of my station. I am very sensible of tho weight of its re- spotiiribility. Having, howovor, no sclllsli wish to grati fy, and cvcrv motive to devote myself wholly to thu aer* vice of the State, I canuot but hope, that my want of ability may bu, in some measure, supplied t>y faithful labor and correct intentions. Permit mo to express tho dcsiro, that tho violent stato of parly excitement, arising from the quarrels of ambition of individuals, which has so lun<* distracted the councils of the State, and embit tered tlio feelings of itR people, may coon subside alto gether 5 aiid that our divisions may hereafter bo confin ed to differences of opiiffon in relation to tho principles and policy of tho government. Surely, the energies of our people ought not to bu wasted in contests about men in office, when onr right of sovereignty over the persons and soil within tho limits of tho Statu is assail ed from every part of tho Uuiott, and when tho General Government has assumed tho power of controlling and directing tho labor of (ho people, and expending their wealth according to their own will. Tim integrity of the ennstitutiun, tho continuance of the Union, and the preservation of liberty, may essentially depend upon our firm & united defence oftho rights oftho States,and the interest of tho people against Federal encroach ment. 1 have but a word to say about tho admin istration of tho Executive Department. I consider myself tho'Chitf Magistrate of tho State, and not ot a party. In nil tho appointments which it be comes my duty to make, I shall attempt to bo gov erned by no other consideration than the public service. It will bo my endeavor to give employment to integrity, talents and industry. I will not know the preference expressed by uny citizen, for my highly res pectable opponent in the late election. 1 shall attempt to the utmost of my ability to discharge allthe duties of my office. The roward hoped for is, tho approbation of tho people, and of my own conscience. At the conclusion, considerable applause was mani fested by the spectators. Tim oath of office was ad ministered by tho President of the Senate, who pro claimed George R. Giltncr Governor of the State of Georgia for the ensuing two years. Tho two housos coon after adjourned. The spectaclo was of short de ration, but very imposing, and to witness it the gallery ami also the lobby, was crowded with ladies and respect able persons. Thursday, 5th,—In tho House, the bill to extend the time for taking out grants in tlio Lottery previous to 1827, was taken up, read tho third time, passed and sent to the Senate.

Another Finr. is Auou&Ta.—Wc regret extreme ly to learn, that the city of Augusta has again been vis ited by tho devastation of that element from which it has suffered so much during the past year. A letter, with an extract from which wo have been favorad,datcd on Saturday lust, says—“Last night wc had another alarm of firn. Six houses in front on Broad-street with back stores, kitchens, &c. wero consumed. The suf ferers are Titos. Gumming two front houses, David Reid three, and Mrs. Russel one. Mrs. Reid’s property on the South side of Broad-st. was in much danger, the burning houses being directly opposite, Mr. Bennoch’s houses on thu west, and Col. Cumming’s on the cast, both being lire proof, prevented tho spreading of th® flames, and thus the houses mentioned only were con sumed. The tiro was unquestionably thu work of an in, ccndiarv—it originated about midnight in a back store- which had not been opened for several days,” Tho following account is from tlio Augusta Chroniclo of Sat urday :— Saturday Morning, 2 o'clock.—Destructive Fire,— Wc stop the press to announce tlio melancholy intelli gence, that our unfortunate city has again bccomo a prey to tho devouring element. Tho ftro was first discover ed about 12 o’clock, in a back building occupied by Mr. II. Parsons or Mr. Thomas Richards on tlio North side of Broad-st., 5 or 6 doors below Camphell-st. Every effort to stay its progress at tho commencement, was in vain—the wind set briskly from tho >VcbL and the llnmes continued with intubating fury till they had des troyed nil the wooden buildings, nbovo and below, be tween the brick buildings of P.

The General, it is said, lias issued ordors to the troops along the whole line of march to make halt, and to suspend evciw kind of hostility. In telligence of this order has been sent to Con stantinople, and has had the effect of dissipa ting all apprehensions of any public disturb ance.” Tho Austrian Observer, of tho 18th Sept., has brought us intelligence from Constantino ple to the 30th ult. which, though older hy six days than tlio last despatches from Sir Robert Gordon, servo to fill up the outline of events by additional details. We havo already stated, that before the Turkish Plenipotentiaries arrived at the Rus sian head-quartern, Gen. Diebitsch had push ed his advancud posts to a considerable dis tance on the direct road to Constantinople. It appears that it was their approach, or rath er their incursions of detached parties of Cossacks who preen Jed them, which filled the enemies oftho Sultan in tlio capital with confidence, and led them to make tho insur rectionary demonstrations which terminated in their destruction. Not only were tlio leaders executed, and hundreds of their fol lowers put to death, but the very houses where they used to meet, wore pulled down by order of the Sultan. All the irregular troops fulling buck before the Russians, towards Constan tinople, continued to bo sent over, as they arrived, to Asia, and were then dismissed from flirthor service, and allowed to return to their homes. Yet it is said that the regular force undor tho personal command of the Sultan, amounted to 30,000 men, partly sta tioned at tho camp of Itatnis-Tchifllck, and partly in the fortifications of tho capital.— Most of the Pachas who hod commanded corps on the Rumolion side oftho Balkun had joined their Sovereign; but all thoughts of further hostilities were abandoned, and noth ing but friendly offices passed between the lato contending parties. We have already stated that the Porto had set many Russian prisoners of war at liberty; we now find that tho Russians lmd been equally generous, two English vessels having arrived at Constanti nople from Odessa, with Turkish prisoners. Some Russian merchants who had been ar rested soon after tho beginning of tlio war, had also regained their freedom, and trans ports woro preparing to convey all the libera ted Russians to Odessa. The Stockport Turn-out.—This con test is entirely at an end.

The Cotton Crop.—-A highly respecta ble mercantile gentleman, upon whom reli ance may be placed, and who is on a tour in tho interior of Alubaina, for tlio purpose of obtaining information on the subject, gives tlio editor of the Mobilo Register tho annexed information oftho Cotton Crop :— “ You ask mo to give you my opinion in relation to tho crops, but indeed, there is such contrariety of opinion on this subject, that I fear almost to hazard one. The crop on the waters oftho Alabama river, I atp inclined to think, will fall somewhat short of that of last year, but on tho Tombcckbc, and Black War rior, there will bo a considerable increase in tho quantity raised, and from observation and the best information I can obtain, I am inclined to the opinion, that there will be an increase in the aggregate amount of Cotton raised in Alabama, of from 20 to 25 per cent. I think we may calculate on 100,000 bales passing through our market this year. The quality is certainly superior to any thing I havo overseen, and (he planters seem at Inst to be convinced of the proprie ty of handling tho article with more cure than they have heretofore dono.” The Columbus (Georgia) Enquirer, says that “ tho flourishing conditions of tho Cot ton crops West of Flint river is cheering to planters who have suflbred all tho privations incident to the settlement of a now country and will, we hope, contribute much to the rising prosperity of our infant town. Largo quantities of cotton have been planted the past season in tho counties, aud so extensive arc the improvements in the settlement and clearing of lands in the recently acquired ter ritory, that very many planters have raised from eighty to onehundred and twenty bags of cotton each. Tho ship Ohio, Cowpland, arrived at Philo dolphin, sailed from the Balizo, Oct. 1. On tho 5th inst. about 30 miles to tho westward, off tho Tortugus, was chased 48 limits by a three masted piratical looking schooner.— The wind coming out stormy fVom N. W., they then gave up the chase. While they woro close nauled on tho ship, they showed no men on deck. As soon us they stood oil' tho men appearod to be Humorous. Philad. Chronicle.. A few days since, in tho family of a poor person, in ono of the southern Btroots of this city, a child was born without a mouth. The preservation of its life, if possible, was deemed a duty, and every thing was done that appear ed conducive to this object; but nt tho end of five oy six days, tho infant died. This strange fact became known to tho neighbors, and of courso excited general curiosity. Many por. sons, living near, visited the house, and ex- amined tho child, both before and after its death.—7ft, ’• Savannah Exports, Nov. tf.
