GftKKSR AMD PULASKI MOflVMKNT.—About 24
tons of the material intended for this atructure arrived
here from New-York by the Statue; another portion
trill come by the Tybee, which ia hourly expected j and
the balanco by another vessel that was to have sailod
with despatch.
Literary Prirm.—It may perhaps bo recollected,
that In July last Mr. J. J. Adams, the manager of the
Charleston and Savannah Theatres, offered a prize of
threo hundred dollars for the beat Tragedy or Comedy,
and a Benefit to the author if a native of Georgia or
Couth Carolina—a second prizo of ono hundred and
filly dollar* for the aecond beat piece, ifa Tragedy, was
alio offered. The decision wilt bo mndo on the 20th
of the present month, in Charleston, by a committee
of literary gentlemen of the firat character, In that city.
We are informed that tho competition excited has been
Active, and that several candidates havo entered for tho
prize. Whether any competitor for tho bays ha* ap
peared from this State, we are not advised.
A renewal of tho Golden Age seems likoly to tako
place in Georgia; for we learn from the Constitution
alist, that there wero twelve lawyers attending the late
session of the Superior Court for Jefferson county, and
toil a single cast rttunud.
Tho Hon. Martin Von Burcn, Secretary of State,
liis son, Mr. John Van Burcn, and the Chevalier Huy-
gone, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King
of tho Netherlands, arrived at Norfolk on the 6th Inst,
g om which they were to depart next day for Richmond.
The Now-York papers furnish very few returns of the
recent election. Indeed, there has been little opposition
to tho candidates friendly to the state or general admin
istration. In tho west, some opposition has existed be
tween tho Anti-Masons and tho administration pany;
but the former interest is on the decline, and therefore
it is not expected to be of any importance,
Pr.rnTEntiary in TfiifRcssBB,— 1 The Legislature
of Tennesieo baa finally passed a bill for the establish
ment of n Penitentiary in that State, to bo located at or
near Nashville, and Appropriated 26,000 dollars to com
mence it. The Nashville Republican, in speaking of
these facts, judiciously remarks“ We congratulate
the citizens of Tennessee on tho new era which this
will open in the annals of their penal code, which must
row be stripped of its feature* assumed in. a darker and
rougher age, and so modified as to suit the more ration
al anffroild spirit which is characteristic of the present
enlightened period of tho world. Wo wore pleased to
see all sectional feelings subside, and n general spirit
of unanimity prevail to carry into effect thia all-impor
tant object,”
Of the number of emigrants who went out to Liberia
from Norfolk in tho ship Harriet, with Abduhl Ruha*
roan, whose death was mentioned yesterday, thirty, it
appear?, died after their landing.
A seventy-four gun ship is now building at Van Die-
nftn’s Land, with teak timber from Trincomalee. In
dia rubber ia now used there in sheathing vessels, by
•training a thin coat over the surface. India rubber
cotton ia also used aa an impervious covering wherever
such ia requisite, and the use of both, it is sold, will
shortly be extended to England.
Indian Affairs.—-We are glad to perceive
by the following article in the Columbus En
quirer of the 7tn inst., that the Muscogees
are becoming gradually more reconciled to
the idea of Emigration; and we also hope
rhatthe Cherokecs may be shortly iuoeulatcd
in the same way.
Benjamin Marshall, n chief of tho Creek
nation has just returned to this place, from
Arkansas. We are gratified to learn from
him that the country west of the Mississippi
has never been too highly represented ns in
every wav suited to the pursuits and customs
of the Indian. He represents the climate as
perfectly congenial, tho soil rich and easy of
cultivation, tho streams abounding with fish
und tho forests and prairies filled with Bufiulo,
snd other game. So conflicting are the re
presentations of the country west of tho Mis
sissippi, that many of the Indians (among
whom are a largo number of Marshall’s
friends) had determined never to remove there
until some one of their own tribe in whom
they could placo confidence, had visited and
explored the country, and then returned to
the nation and advised them accordingly.—
With this view exclusively Mr. Marshal left
his home and on his own expense has made
every necessary discovery. Ho informs us
that without a single opposing voice, all to
whom he has made known tho situation, and
prospects of the country, have signified their
approbation, and are now willing to emigrate,
and that ho has no doubt that at least ono hnlf
tho nation will remove to the Arkansas before
next fall.
The Georgia Courier gives a terrible ac
count of the stato of alarm which exists in
tho upper country, in conseouenco of tho re
cent nres in Augusta, and other repeated but
less effectual attempts to lay that city in ash
es. Upon this subject it observes,—Such Jins
become the constomation of the planters,
that they will not risk their produce in the
Ware-house; and tho street purchaser ships
it with as little delay as possible. The mer
chant and tho landlord Iivo in such a state of
at least fancied insecurity, that their rates of
insurance make a terrible inroad on tho regu
lar profits of their property. The uncertain
tenure by which wo hold our wooden tene
ments arrests tho progress of improvement in
the city, ana the capitalists stands in stupid
<> mazemont, without knowing what to do.—
The Insurance Offices are so certain of losing,
that wo bolievo they have all refused to take
risks on any thing that firo can destroy.—
Without sqpe better mode to arrest tho pro
gress of the devouring flames, whetlior the
result of accident or design, property in the
city will scarcely be worth tho possession.—
Impressed with this state of afluirs, and tho
inefficiency of the moans heretofore used, a
number of gentlcmon havo associated, under
tho name of tho “ Augusta Independent Firo
Compauy,*' to use their exertions to
placo tho property of their follow citizens on
4 footing of greater safety. And with tho
view of effecting this object, thoy have sot on
foot a subscription fbr tuo purpose of purchas
ing a proper apparatus; which tho City is
now without, and which they calculate can
not bo procured for a loss sum than 06000,

In the IIouso ofRoprescntativcs on Tuesday, tho hill

out the State, was ordered to lio on tho table.

to report the best remedy for the sotno.

On Thursday tho bill to pardon Jolm Russell convict
ed ofthe murderofaslavo in Oglethorpo county, and to
bo hung on tho 1st of Docembor, being the order of the
day, nearly tho whole morning was consumod in its dis
cussion. On tho question of its passage it was negativ
ed by a large majority. Two gentlemen exerted thcra-
selvos warmly in behalf of the bill, and mude statements
muoh at variance with the direct character of tho evi
dence, but williout effect.
Tito bill to repeal the act respecting valuable mines,
minerals, &c. was debated in committee and made the
order oflho day for Wodnesday. Tho western mem-
bore in and near the Gold region exhibit some little anx
iety for its possago, at tho samo time donyirtgthat their
Tlie doMWflr cflmmuuicated the resign alien of Ma
jor General John Floyd. A resolution was offered ap
pointing Saturday to nil the vacancy, and at the same
time to go Into the elqction of State House Officers; but
It was on motion, laid on the table (or the present. Ma
jor John Floyd and Gen. Taylor, of Burke county, 'art
said to bo candidates.
The following are candidates for State House Offi
ces, in addition to those before mentioned:
Secretary of State—Randolph.
Comptroller—Ruffin.
Surveyor General—Thomas.
The latter by account, is at the head of Ids profession,
and is tlio person who run the ine by order of Governor
Troup, between this State and Alabama.
The Governor has retained two of Gov. Forsyth’s
Secretaries, Messrs. Pcnrcoand Clayton; tho third, Mr.
Thweat, has given place to Mr. Greive, a gentleman
employed (or a long time past by Mr. Gitmor.. It is
said there will bo no change in the military aids of hig
predecessor, where they consent to remain.
The most of this day has been engaged in committee
ofthe whole on ti»o bill to provldo for the improvement of.
the public roads, which, after-much discussion, was or
dered to be printed, and made tho special order of the
day (or Tuesday next.. Thera is evidently a disposition
among a large number of Members to suspend the sys
tem of improving the rlvors and to try the roads. The
bill as reported, authorizes the Governor to appoint
superintendent to toko charge of all the public hinds of
the Stato, and employ them on the three great roods
loading from Gainesville, Hall county, via Washington
fcc. to Augusta, from Macon to Augusta, via Millodge-
ville, &c. and ftom Macon to Savannah—for which pur
pose it authorises an appropriation of $10,000. The
superintendent Is authorized to appoint not motto than
three overseers under him. Amendments will probably
be offered to divide the hands, so that the work imy com
mence on the three roads simultaneously. If not, the
road from Macon to Savannah, being the last named,
may wait a very long time before it receives asy of the
contemplated benefits.
Tho bill to prevent Indians from hunting or residing
in any of tho counties of this State, for which a subtil
tute was offered and accepted, appointing guardians for
such os wish to rosido within the State’s limits, was
laid on the table. It is under stood that the committee
on the State ofthe Republio are preparing a bill making
provision for this people.
The house agreed to reconsider so much of the Jour
nal of yesterday, as relates to the rejection ofthe bill to
psrdon John Russell.
A resolution offbrod, requesting the President of
the Central Bank to lay before the House a list of ooun<
ties that have drawn money, and the dames of persons
■o drawing, was laid on tho tablo.
In Senate this day, (Friday) notice was given of bUls
to extend jurisdiction of Justices ofthe Peace, and to re
gulato the modo of staying executions, and to rendei
uniform the administration of justice in tho several Judi.
ciol Circuits.
The bill to extend tho time for taking out grants in
tho Land Lottery ofl827, was passed.
A resolution was passed, that the Joint Judiciary
Committeo report on tho propriety of extending tho ju
risdiction of Justices of the Peaco to allow thorn to ad
mit setts off over $30, where tlio amouut or tho judg
ment will not exceed $30.
A decision having been made by tho late Judge Da
vies, exempting Civil officers from Militia duty, the
Joint Military Committeo were instructed to report the
best method for determining who arc, and who ore not
*ioblo to do militia duty.
Univenityof Georgia,--Since my last, tlio Sunatus
Acadcmicus after two meetings in addition (o tho firs,
havo adjourned tin* dir. Tho following appointments
havo been mado [see Georgian of yesterday.)
A letter was received from G. M. Troup and referred
to a Committee, in relation to connecting the University
with the Poor School System. Tho Committee in their
report, say that white they admire the elevated, patriot
ic, and truly republican sentiments of that diitinguishod
citizen, thoy regret that tho limited time allowed them to
consider the subject is far too short to permit them to at-
tempt'even a sketch of a plan, by which this great pur
pose could be effected.” The committoe recommend its
refercnco to tho Legislature.
A resolution was passed recommending to tho Leg’ll-
aure, to gut apart a permanent fund for tho purpose of
educating nt Franklin College, upon principles of equal
ity, the poor children of this State.
The trustees in conformity with a resolution passed on
Monday, prepared a very able and interesting report,
(which I am sorry I cannot give in full) respecting the
funds necessary to advanco tho future and best interests
ofthe institution. I have,however, transcribed tho most
material part of it-
From tho Treasurer's Books it appears that the pre
sent permanent annual income of tho collego is as fol
lows :—
Dividends Bunk Stock $8,000
Rcc’d from tuition annually (on an average) .*1,500
$11,600
The present permanent annual expend
iture is—
President’s salary $2,200
Four Professorships, each 1400 6,600
Two Tutors, “ 800 1,600
Secretary and Treasurer 650
Servnnts 250
Contingencies 600—10,800
$700
This exhibit shows, there will remain in the Treasury,
at tlio end of each year a balance of $700. This arises
from the saving, made of the salaries heretofore allowed
to the teachers ofthe Grammar School; for if their sal-
tries were to be paid as heretofore, the Board, with its
present means would be brought in debt annually about
900 dollars.
Tho Trustocsgo on to propose what Is necessary to
“the future & best interests of tho Institution,” confining
themselves to “what they conceive the State is bound to
do under the present circumstances, and in the present
condition of tho world, by every consideration that can
influence the public authorities of a free people.”—
They propose that there be added—
A Professorship of Modern Languages
“ “ 11 Natural History
Tho annual expenditure will then be—
• Salaries of Presdt. and Professors
Servants and contingencies
Estimate of the cfiit— .
6 Houses st $3000 ' 18,000
Library 6,000
Cabinet of Minerals • 2,000
Chapel 8,000
After reading the report, a resolution offered by Mr.
Branham was pined, that the Senatus Acadcmicus
concur In so much of tho report as relates to the engage
ment of two additional professors; tho erecting a Cha
pel ; tlio addition to tho Library, and procuring a Cabi
net of Minerals, and to request tho Legislature to make
adequato appropriations.
