Tho protracted discussion in ihe House on Tuesday, respecting the Indiau Londt* Bill# prevented me from noticing tho proceeding^ of the Senate os usual. In tho Senate oh that day, tho Committee on Public Education and Free Scitouk, to. whom was referred a resolution pit tho expo- dicncy of appaiutiug competent persons to collect inforumtfon on tho snltject of Free Schools, uiul to digest and arrange a systqto ibr tho Free Schools of Georgiu, reportedL- Tliat they, have had tho subject under consb deration, and are duly impressed with tho irt* purtaucu tliereol*—-that tho jpresent Free School System of Georgia is miserably; defec tive your Oommittco hy.ve luid mortifying 1 es- tiinohy intlio returns of the several counties, submitted to their inspection dturing tho pre sent session. Tho fund set apart for Free Schools, alt hough entirely inadequate to effect tho important desideratum of lurnislnng the means for a plain and substantial education to every family iu the State under a moro regu lar and cconoitHcal administration, has, it is found, beou dissipated with comparatively little benefit. Your Committee have no he sitation in saying, that Georgia is yet posses sed of umplu means to conauuunato the most sanguine wishes of tho philanthropist in re gard to universal education, so lar us her own population is concerned: to apply tho inoaus effectually to the object seems then to bo tins only difficulty which presents itself to. vottr Committee. They therefore have thought it expsdient to offer tho following:-— Resolved* That his Excellency the Gover nor he authorized, if in his discretion it bo .deemed necessary, to appoint one or more fit, ‘.and proper persons to digest and urrutigo d system for the Froo Schools of Georgia, to ho Submitted to the consideration of the next Legislature—multi ut tho Governor, together with tho person or persons so appointed, be instructed to correspond with such distin- uisltod and intelligent persons, in uny part filif IJmtnil States, of «ubta:l to tho ittrtmllLlmUJll gutsltod mid llltolltgC jitft Tlu.-y olijoct to flint jurUdieiion. and insist of Iho world, as iltov indy deem necessary to .i.„« m . n .tti..t M n •w.vnmn.nnt u whin <i>n r^g‘ or( ] p rft gtieal information on this very in- .siuto howcvfr, to tlio sovcrvigtity over all within it* chartered [t»uu,ts so well aitctirtaiufdaa wo have bgr aaiti. ihatlt isTinttuccHgary to dwell upon it.

The Secretary of the Senate having inquired of the President, what disposition Tie should loro policy only can preserve tho otice-proud lords of this country ; Ibr ull experience has shown that tho association with tho white man has been destructive to tho Indian. In deed, no better means could be devised surely to destroy the Cherokees, than tu leave them in this stale. But the object of the govcrniucit is different, and those per form but n questionable net of friendship who would keep them where they are. Wo shall however, say no more upon this thread-huro subject. Mr. Monroe, who is quoted by Ihe writer, so lotij» ago as 1817, said, tho “hunter stale yields to iho more dense mid compact form and grrntir force of civilized population, and of right it cii.'ht to yietJ although it maybe Bui I thntthe Cherekuesnre mi agricultural people, yet they are nf the hunter race, and like the once powerful six tint inns of New York, and nil the tribes nCiliis continent, a great part of whom have been Ibr ninny years ngrieul- ti.ralistB, they mil*t submit to their inevitable destiny The Message of Governor Giles was trans mitted to tho Legislature on tho 6th instant.

The Cen tral Bank, as well us all tlio Banks, was a chartered institution ; that charter was as va lid as all other charters; if Iho charter was not a good ami valid one, the bills issued by tlio ollicers are to all intents und purposes bills of credit. 2d.' Because tlio l£tk section of tho charter points out the manner and mode by which the General Assembly shall obtain such information as is sought fur by tho reso- lotion. It is therefore the opinion of tlio Chair, that the information asked for in tlio resolution must be the net of tho General As sembly, and not one branch thereof only. An appeal was then made to tlio Senate from the decision of tho President, which re sulted us follows—For the decision 132, against it :c>. t Tito Committee on Education and Free jSchools reported n bill to amend uu act pas- M4JJcceiulwr, I6‘^,_.tujMq(:i_ aai act for tjwi; bettor distribution am! application of tlie Poor ■{School fijnd, &c* The bill to rditWo G.

Tlio Plaintiff hav ing shewn the admissions oftho Defendants, that they wore jointly interesting in tho gam bling concern, a joint liability is sufficiently mndo out to carry tho case to tlio Jury. 2. The law allows no set q/f in illegal transac tions. If this were a case of mutual contract the case would ho different, but tho payment of money in one illicit act, cannot bo made u st t q(f against a claim for money lost iu another. The policy oftho law is to sup press all such transactions. 5. Where mo ney linn passed into the Defendants Jiuml.s mala fide by the hands of an agent, tho own- can recover it. In England the gambling loser connot recover it; m Georgia ho etui. In the case before the Court tho roul owner sues. The Court added, that where purtics are equally concerned in n. transaction it is not necessary to enquire how far each receiv ed the proceeds. Each is liable for the whole. Constitutionalist.

Nothing, however, would satisfy tho friends of this imprudent measure. Mr. Hufftld mentioned tlio unfavor able reports abroad respecting the disposition of money. Mr. Hepburn stated reports tit at Baldwin County had received $00,000 of its funds. Mr. Shorter tnontionod a report in circulation that $00,000 or upwards ot specie had boon removed to the Bank of Columbus. Neither of these gentlemen, however, wore iu favor of the original resolution. Mr. Dough erty depreciated the evident disposition to legislate too much with tho affairs of an insti tution in which tho interest and prosperity of the State were involved verifying his predic tions when ho opposed tho charter, and chal lenged gentlemen to name the authors of the reports mentioned. Iu the course of the dis- ettssion, tho utmost confidence was expressed in the ability and integrity of the Directors.

Wo now quote 0 a 9j for middling to common-prime; at tlio latter price selections of good lots are freely given ; there wero two or threo very inferior parcels sold at something below 9 cents; very choice lots favourite murks, were sold at 10 cents, and one small purccl, very superior, brought 10-J cents. Tlio generality of the new crop is so good, that selections'from common lots yield very lino Cotton, and have caused much of that of large planters and fa vourite brands, to be stored. In long staple Cotton there wero but few sales, generally within our quotations; one or two parcels fine Seu. Islands, we understand, wore sold at 53 cents.
