Adim Cope, Ksq. is a candidate for Receiver of Tax Returns at tho approaching election. David Bell, Ksq. is a candidate for the office of Tax Collector at tho next election. Robert W. Pooler, Esq. is a candidate for the office pf Clerk ofthc Superior and Inferior Courts at the nex Sfccfwn. General llrooku of the U. S. Army has arrived at Port Mitchell, (the Creek Agency,) and assumed the curumunJ of tho troops at that station. Tho Annual Session of the Bonrd of Physicians, at .

Fori. Among our arrivals yesterday is the schooner Leader. This adventurous little baik measures but aevtn tons, und is manned with a crow of two men, who have na vigated her all tho way from Providence, U. I.—Thus defying tho perils of tho stormy Atlantic at the worst Season of tho year, and proving by this cfihrt tho hardy and adventurous character of tho American seaman.— They have unfortunately lust their sails, and have pul in to rcfi», preparatory to extending their voyage to St. Augustine. Tho Columbus Enquirer informs us that Col. John Crowell, Indian Agent,left his Agency on the 29ih Nov. accompanied by B. Marshall, a half breed Creek In dian, for Washington City. We understand jhc object of his visit is to endeavor to establish (more to the sa tisfaction of tho Indians) tho boundary line between the Creeks nnd Chcrokccs West of the Mississippi, nlso to leant more ful ; y tho views of the Government in relation to emigration. Tho National Council cf Grecco having decreed to the President, Count Capo d’lxtrias, f*»r. his animal ex penses, the sum of 30,000 Spanish piastres from tho public treusury, ho has declined receiving, as ho lias hitherto done, that or any compensation for his servi ces. In doing which ho says, “so long ns his private propetty si tall suffice, ho shall abstain from touching tho public money for his wants 5 hut that if the entire failure of his resources shall compel him to it, he shall havo recourse to the public treasury, but burthen it with those expenses only which tho exercise of his functions renders necessary.” This is a rare Inst tinea of disinter estedness in a public officer, and infinitely honorable tj the President, Tho lion. William A. i)uor, L. I.. D. Judge of tho Circuit Court for tho Third Circuit of New-York, has been elected President of Columbia College, by a ma jority of tho votes of tho board. The President’s Message reached Boston at half past 7 o’clock on Wednesday evening, tho lOtli instunt, In 31 hours aud a half from Washington, 18 hours from New«York,and six hours from Hartford-—ICO miles. LsTTttts.—Thu three packets which arrived at New York on the 11th inst. brought 4675 letters, vi/.:—The Formosa 1,725, the Dc Ilham 1,400, and tho William Jlyrttcs 1,550. A considerable quantity of foreign dry-goods from fyorlhern ports has been confiscated at New Oilcans, by the Custom House Department, in consequence of tho omission of them in the manifests as required by law. f*.jinc complaints have boon undo against tho Collector iu consequence, which wo sh *uM suppose would with rinre propriety be directed against the law*, not the uffi- <;r, if its operation is found oppressive. A seaman in a vessel from Tiiuinaston, (Me.) onthc voyngo to New Orleans recently, in a dark and stormy tiight, fell from the mast, a distance of sixty-live feet, upon another r-cam m, and what i« singular, niitlior of Uictn sustained any injury from the concussion. Mrs, Gilfert, late of tho Theatre, has opened a school for young ladies in New-York. Tho London Morning Chronicle of Nov. 8th, states Horn unquestionable authority, that it is tho intention pf tho British Cabinet steadily to steer clear of any thing iiii? 0 direst mtvrftrvnco in the affairs of Portugal, Mr. Monroe has resigned his scut in the Virginia Convention in consequence of indisposition.

Among tho passengers in tho steam-heat Potomnek, arrived at Kiclimoud, on tho 10th instant, were tho two Counts of Otranto, and tho Count Noy, son of Marshal Nry. Tho main-mast of the British man-of-war Bristol has boon fitted with a tin pipe, fur the conveyance of tho video in boisterous weather, from the quarter deck to the main top. Tho election of Governor of Virginia by the Legisla ture, was to take place on Wednesday Inst. Among thoso spoken of for tho office are General Floyd, Gene ral Robert Taylor, and I*. 1*. Barbour, Esq. An extract from the Journal dit Commerce discloses a fact hitherto litllo noticed in this country—viz., that iu France tho Price of wheat is rapidly advancing. The riso in tho average during the month of October has been If. -17c. an l it is now witlitn2lc. as high us it was at this period of last year. This is tho cause, without doubt,oftho demand for fine wheat in thu north of Eu rope. Mn. Booth.—It appears from the Boston papers that this unfortunate comedian left that city on the Oth instant, on foot, without Ids outside garment, and with *10 baggage. lie had loft his pocket book with one of the attendants oi tho theatre, nnd had tnado no settle ment with tho manager. Ho was met between Dud. Itatn and Walpolo, on his way to Providence. Tho manager immediately despatched a messenger nficr him, in order to provent, if possible, his meeting with fny injury. Mr. Booth, wo learn from tl.o Providence papers, arrived in that town on the Thursday morning succeeding, having slept tho preceding night in tho woods. Ho is evidently in a state of derangement, and it is intended to convey him to New-York. 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.

Tho rc-considored resolution from the House to ad journ on Saturday, was again concurred in. There is a possibility of doing this, but in carrying it into effect much business must lio over. On Wednesday there wero 107 bills before tho House in their various stages. Tho hill from tho IIouso, to permit P. Cone to erect a bridge over Ogochto river, was laid on tho table for tho balauco of tho session.

Tho report oftho Batik Committee on tho non-pay ment oftuxes on Stock, wus agreed to—and a .resolu tion passed, permitting tho Bank of Durbin now, for the four years past, to niuku a return of and pay tho tax on its stock.

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. Communicated.
