PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
TO TUB EDITORS OF THE OEORdlAN.
Milledgeville, Friday, Dec. 18.
In the House of Representatives on Tuesday, tho
members ro-usscntbled at 3, P. M. and sat until 7. Tho
Tax bill for 1830, under consideration in thu morning,
was again taken up and passed. I gave you about two
weeks since, tho provisions of this bill thu alterations in
which mo as follows :
In tho section imposing a tax of 40c. on every §100 of
capital of Brokers, Exchange Merchants, See. &e, the
term “money tendon” is stricken out.
A section was added imposing a tax of 50 per cent on
nil changu lolls in ciroul.irion on tho 1st of April next,
nnd all that may ho issued thereafter. Roturns on oath
to be made on each 1st of January. This is a whulc-
? measure and I trust will provo effective. The
quantity of that trash circulating in the upper country
und particularly in this placo is awful. Tho keepers of
a tavern in Macon, iu March lust i wns told, hud near
$30,COO in circulation. A short time since ono of tho
partners died, when tho bills would no lunger pass, but
the surviving partner continuing tho business, they
were again taken, but ho having departed this lilts a few
days ago, they are no longer current, and holders will
have tho satisfaction of keeping thorn until the estuto is
settled. 1 yesterday saw a one aud a two dollar note
signed “C. Collins,” date I at Mneon, promising to pay
the bearer in current bank bills those sums. They were
elegantly engraved to resemble the Central Bunk bills,
and were taken by a person for bills of that bank.
The follow bills passed—To change tho name of Ma
ry Ann Cook to Lucy Ryerson Cook j To specify and
make certain a time from and nficr tho probate of wills,
nficr which time (hey shall not he set asidiT or in any
manner altered by caveat bill or otherwise ; To amend
thclGih boc. of act entitled an act to revixo tho Judi
ciary System, passed Feb. 1799 ; For relief of Sheriffs
in certain cases 5 To proveut fraudulent sale ofestruys.
A report ofthc Cominitteo on Agriculture and Inter
nal Improvement has been concurred in on tho report of
tho Commissioners ofthc Clmtahochicrivcr below Cow
eta falls. They state a settle I conviction of misman
agement of the affairs of suid Hoard, and thut the Inter
est of the State requires n thorough invcsiigntiou and
settlement of their affairs and report a resolution au
thorizing the Governor to appoint an agent for that pur-
[lOSC.
On Wednesday the Penitentiary Committee made
the following Report :—
The Joint Committee on the Peuitentinrv, have ta
ken into consideration tho several references made to
thcm,& have examinvdtlie reports of the inspectors ofthc
Penitentiary, that ofthc Principal Keeper, und the sev
eral departments connected with tho institution. The
institution appears to have been mnnaged with care, pru
dence and discretion. The siiperiuteudants have met
with the approbation of the several Committees ap
pointed, particularly to examine the respective depart
ments, and the fidelity, energy and zeal manifested by
the inspectors, give good assurance that they havo had
a single eye to tho improvement of tho system of punish
ment, and the improvement of the means to sustain the
Institution. With some alteration in the system gener
ally, the repairs of the building nnd walls, the erection
of cell.*, and oilier Improvements which will suggest
themselves to the Inspector and the Keeper, there is no
doubt the institution will bo able: to sustain itself, without
niil front tho government. Bitch seem (lie views for
which it was established ; the change of punishment
alike inefficient iu itself, nnd revolting to tliu feelings
of the Christen and the Philanthropist. Your Commit
tee have not thought it uuenssury to embody tn this re
port, an extended vicwol the fiscal concerns ofthc Insti
tution, the report of the Inspectors having been already
submitted to the Li gi.Lf.ro for their examination.—
They would therefore only expresr the hope that an in
stitution ci.tabl.ahe.I upon principles of humanity, will bo
cherished by our government ns a mean for the suppres.
sion of crime, calculated alike to intimidate tho youthful
violator of the law, and the more experienced convict.
Experience has proved that placing the hr it rui of infumy
is seldom sttended with reformation, and your Commit-
tuo cannot but believe, that the system of punishment
approved by the most enlightened parts ofthc world, w ill
meet with tho'upprobation of the citizens of Georgia,
who are ever willing to make progress in the rond of ci
vilization and refinement, and will never bo the first lu
retrograde to the practice of uu age of cruelty and bar
barism.
The report was read ai d adopted, afier which the bill
from the Senate to change the inanuir of punishing con
victs in the Penitentiary and for regulating the same,
fee. $;c. was taken op, und utler ti discussion which
lasteJ until one o’clock, wns pus:ed, yeas 70, nnys 51,
without a single amendment—several were offered but
rejected. It was supported in the debate by Messrs.

but voted for it because, ns they said, tboy knew they
could ge.t no better terms from the Senate. After its
passage its opponents raised a question nnd contended
thut tho House having refused to insert in tbo original
bill the word “rivers,” it could uot now act upon Ihu
same a second timo, without a vole of two-thirds. The
Speaker decided in the affirmative, when an appeal was
made to the House, who decided against him, nays 79,
yeas 39. The CoiiMitution says “any hill or ordi

“and rivers,” olfeied us nit amendment to the original bill
were certainly licit her “bill nor ordinance,” and even if
the rules did apply which is doubtful, (tho bill coming

of course might bo in this case. This is uu important

Tho bill from tbo IIouso extending tho jurisdiction or

the House, who urn decidedly in favor of allowing the

Constitutionalist.
On Thursday evening, a man calling him
self William Bost, appeared before Mr. Van
winkle, a magistrate of Bergen, N. J. and
declared himself to have been concerned in
tho murder oftho lad of Mr.- Holmes, who has
been missing for sovern 1 days. Ho said the
boy wns taken to the toot of Cortlaiult st. rob
bed and thrown into the river. There were
strong indications of insanity about him, but
it was thought proper to send for ono of our
police ofliccrs, who yesterday convoyed him
to this city. In the afternoon, the' woman
wns examined with whom ho had hoarded,
nnd testified that he come homo on the even
ing of the disappearance ofthc boy, in a state
of partial insanity, and wns not out oftho
house afterwards during that night. Ho was
in the same condition when arrested, and has
continued so ever since. Nothing appearing
to justify a further detention, he was discharg
ed. N. Y. Com. Ado.
Mania a Potu.—The Latin phrase is a
great favorite with all physicians : it occurs
in tho weekly or monthly report of deaths and
their causes, and is calculated to make a suit
able impression upon young sinners, against
intemperance in drinking, if it were properly
understood. The plain English of it is this:
“ Died raving mad, in consequence of hard
drinking.” By this vernacular title, I trust
that drunkards not too far gone to understand
anything, will bo warned against this too
common source of outrageous madness.

In Liberty County, at. tho residence of her

Dunwoody. »S!io had hut n few weeks pre
viously relumed from the North, in theblooin
of health where she hud spent thu summer
months.
In writing this obituary, wo might be in
dulged iu swelling it beyond the usual limits,
sttcTi were her acquirements nnd virtues—
hut tho writer forbears. Those who knew
her need nothing to remind them of her ; und
those not personally acquainted with her, will
only read without interest, wluit they deem an
exaggerated, or partial account. Facts tiro
all tliut shall bo exhibited; and thoso only
with a view to stimulate others to exert their
energies, and use their influence in tho same
f ood cause, that siniiltar results limy follow,
liss Dunwoody was seriously impressed
with tho importance of religion—'while at
Bethlehem, in Georgia, when only 15, These
impressions never left her. On her return
home, tho ensuing year, she publicly professed
Christ in tho Medway church. From tliis period
she grew in gruce, and employed her distin-
guished talents in the cause of her Redeemer.
She took an active part in tho establishment
ofthe WalthourviUo Sunday School, to which
subsequently, she gave much of her thoughts
nnd time,—and during her visits in tho prin
cipal cities ofthc North, she visited tho var
ious benevolent institutions, with a determin
ation to qualify hcrsclffor more extended use
fulness when she returned to hernativo Stato.
But, alas ! how inscrutable aro tho ways of
God ? She only lived to return to the embra
ces of fond parents—fill their saddened souls
with cheerful hopes, and left them to mourn
her untimely death! But blessed bo the
hand that removed her, they are not left des
titute of hope—they and all who witnessed
her resignation, patience, and anxiety to de
part during her illness, were convinced that
ns she lived the life oftho righteous, so her
death was like his. Comforted with this as
surance, they love to consider her a bright
Angel in Heaven, praising her redeemer on
a golden harp, in more melodious strains.
