In thn sennto, this muriiing, Mr. McAllister intro
duced tlm following resolution t
“ Be it resolved by tho Senate and House of Rep
rcscutntivt's of the State of Georgia, in <lrnend As
sembly met, that his excellency rim governor be re
quested to despatch fortvith, n speeinl agent, to ne
gotiate on beluilfofthis state, with rim legislature of
rim statu of Tennessee, now in session, for tlm pur
pose of obtaining an net from them nutlmtiring tlm
extension of uur state road from tlm Georgia line,
through rim territory of Tennessee, to the Tunni-ssuu
river.
Tlm resolution wns unanimously ndoptcd,ufiernii
explanation by Mr. McAllister, which went to shmv,
tliat it wns most prudent to obtain an net from the
legislature of Tennessee, imilioii/ing the state of
Georgin to continue tlm construction of tlm Western
nnd Atlantic Rail Road from rim Georgia line to tin
Tennessee river, before further progress was made.
By tlm grant of such authority, no impediment run
hereafter nrUu to um*#i the construction and comple
tion of tho road from tlm ('liniltdioochoi- to rim *len-
nesseo river, nnd no deliiy i-nti occur by tlm ditlic.nl-
tin* which frequently hkppenh obtain tho right of

tial to it* completion, that the legislature of Tennes
see should nl tlu-pn-oiit session, grunt rim power in
question, because the session* of that body are bien
nial.

ire limited partnerships wns taken up, in committee

THE VETO.
Tho mouxqo of Id* Kxcolleucy Governor Gilmer
(received by yesterday’s mail) wo lay Imfore our rea
ders conteuipumnnouriy with tlm eorrespi'ndencc
ww which tho resolutions of tho General Assembly
wore based, that they may bo aide* to form their mvn
opinion of tlm subject. While we cannot, under the
circumstances, approve uf tin* reason* given by the
governor for disapproving of tlm resolutions, wo
would have been better sallsfiod if some resolution*
differing in form, though not in spirit, from those re
jected, hn<i Ihtii passed by the legislature. Wo
think that tlm legislature would I,mu been justified
in authorising tho expenses of a mounted regiment
under Gen. Nelson, u* their colonel, to ho defrayed
by their commander, until they mold bo mustered
into rim servleo of tho United States, und rim ex
pense* of tlm remainder until they could l em-h their
homos. li'Gen. Jesup thought proper, (in tin* face
of Ids loiter of lOdi Sept, and) in coiisuquenea of
being amply supplied with troops from other states,
to refuse the services of thesegallnnt volunteers, then
riirircouimnnder would have been prepared to defray
their cxpeusxs to their homes,nnd tlm disbursement*
he tnndo tlm ground of nn equitable, if not n strict
ly legal claim, upon the Uuited States. We have not
room just now to stale, at length, w hy we think such
a course prcforrabla to that wo have seen adopted
by tho legislative and executive departments of rim

taining hi* reasons, for leftisiinj his npprolmtion to
the resolution* respecting rim volunteers on their way
to Floridn, under Gen. Nelson.
Executive Department, Ga.
Nny, 21,1337.
I return to the House of Representative*, the reso
lution which originated In that both, pas cd both
bouse-, nud were presented to mn on tins duy, upon
tlie subject of uu appropriation of money for ilm use
of tho largo body of mounted mull staled to bo now-
on tlieir innrch to Floridn, w ith my reasons for disap
proving them.
From the documents, nlrcndy Inid before tile House
it is evident riuit rim men Tor whoso benefit tho np-
nrintioii in rim srsoliilious is intruded to be made
iiuvnbicu mi-ed without the nutluirity of this state,
or tlm United Slates t that the requisition which htwl
been made upon Georgia fi>r volunteer* to serve in
tho Florida campaign, Imd Imen previously with
drawn t nnd that Geuenil Nelson, by whom they liuvi
been mi-ed, leid no orders, mid held no commission
from either Government, justilying such n measure
I cannot therefore perceive |e»w the public money
can with propriety be applied t»> their uso. They
con only bo considered ns so nmny individuuls direc
ting themselves according to their own wishes, to
whatever course or purpose they may plen-oJ that
although they allege that rimy nn* on their wny t
Florida, they nre under no legal obligation to serv
ngninst the Seniiimlest und I Imt if they should reciivo
tlm money nnd usn it, they would still bn nt liberty to
goto Florida or not. If they should goto Florida,
the probability is that they *vij| not Im received into
the public, service. The Secretary of war und Gi
Jesup, who huvw bc**ii directing the operations for
carry Ing on the campaign in Florida, nnd know Ix-st
the material* which they want, and what force rn
Ik* maintained, show, hy their letters, that it will b
difficult to support men then*, nul that even w hen
they required twelve hundred voluniccis from tliis
state, few, if nny, mounted were desired by tie
Tho unexpected ncces-ion of thi- large force tinder
Gon. Nelson, consisting probably of fourteen or fif
teen hundred horses, must necessarily emhnruiss in
stead of advancing the objects of tliecampuigii. The
expense of thn Seminole w ar has been so great for
what has been effected, that tho officer* directing it
mu-t Ik* very unwilling to Incur tho additional cost
w hich the acceptance of thi- furor must incur, espi
dally a- it is not tho kind wanted for tho service. If
they should not ho received, they must sustain |o *»e
and undergo suffering in making their w ny home,
through a country already srnreo ,»f provisions, nnd
which must necessarily ho rendered greatly more so
by their march to Florida, which it would ht* difficult
to depict. 1 do unt thereforu think the legislature
ought to do any thing to aid thorn in continuing their
march.
Tho part oftho country through which theso men
must pa**, whether accepted into service oi
must Invo its quiet and rightsofjm»|H*rty constantly
disturbed by theirnocessities. Tho very nssomhliiit
together of so many men without discipline, mu
marching through tho country without authority of
law, the. orders of the state w geuerol gwvcrntwout,
or being under tlm command uf officers having the
right to control them, is nn evil or great magnitude,
nud ought to Ik* repressed if possible instead of be
ing encouraged,
These men have been drawn exclusively from tho
Cherokee counties, nud those utljoiuing. It is mut>
ter worthy of great consideration, whether the gov
ernment, bound n* it is to look to tho defence and
prit'-ction of its own people, should encoumgo them
to leave their homes for other scivire, surrounded at
they am by tlm Cherokee Indians, now about to bo
remov.-d by the force of law from their country.
For tlm purpose of showing tho necessity which
exist* for retaining in tlio Cherokee nnd ndjoining
counties, all the men capable of bearing arms, I sub
mit to tlm House of Repn-scntuli'vs, copies nt*com
mune mion- tVom Gov. Seldey to the Fresidout ul
tho Unitt-t( States, Gviv. Lumpkin, Col. NoUoo, and
oilier persons,upon tho subject. Fruit their com
munications it uppeur* .hut Gov. Schley considered
the danger to the Chcrukeo eountirs to he so great
nnd immediate, ns to justify him in n-sumiug on au
thority not given by tlie laws, in organising a largo
military force, for it* defence, notwithstanding that
Iw United States had at tho time cloven computin'*
statio.-ied in it; that hy u military older issued tlie
3d August front Athens, addressed to Col. Nelson,
he directed him to raise and organize u regiment of
ten mounted cotupnuies to bo statimicd in tho differ
ent counties of tho Chcrokra circuit. That Col.
Nelson did, tn purswanco of the authority thu* giv-
*n, organize and report a regiment as ready for duty
early in September, nnd advised Gov.Schlev that tin*
time hail already arrived when they should tnko the
field to protect thn people from tho Indinns. That
Gov. Schley and Gov. Lumpkin (tho commissioner
of ihc U. Statos then residing nl Now Scliutn, and
liaviug the best tneunt of correct information,) con
curred in tlie opinion flint the raising and organizing
of tbo regiment under Col. Nelson, w ns producing
tlio happiest effect In removing tlie Indians from tlio
country : nnd that Gov, Schley during tho month of
ScpO-nthcr. expressed bis determination to arm tlio
regiment and cull it into active service.
If there was nny justification whatever for tho
raising this regiment by Gov. Schley nud Col. Nel
son, at tho time they diJ, or any n-lianru is to Imi
placed upon tho opinions of Gov. Schley, Col. Nel
son, and tlio United States Commissioner, a* to tbo
danger to be apprehended by our citizen* from tbo
Cherokee Indian-, and tlie happy effect which this
force hud, in inducing the Indian* to emigrate, I
submit to the legislature, whether it is proper, now,
when the time, for the removal of tin* ludion* come*
nearer, to withdraw from tbo Cherokee und adjoin
ing counties, to withdraw from the Cbcrokeo and
adjoining counites, the largo forae now mnrcliimr to
Florida. Admitting that the employment of Col.
Nelson to miso a regiment and the stationing of our
company in eie h of tho Cherokee counties hnd
another purpose than tlio defence of tho people,
still tears neutlmvo been created among them hy
these wmlike preparation*. Imh-ul them is no
doul.t that it i* highly necessary that every olio ca
pable of lK.-ariiig arms in tho Cherokea counties
rhoubl, if possible, Ik* nt borne, to keep down any
disposition whieh tho Indinns tuny huvo to do mis
chief.
Strong as I consider theso objections to tho adop
tion of the resolution*, they would prolmldy huvo
been overcome hy toy disposition to nopiieseo in thu
will of the legislature ; but for other* of n higher nnd
inure imperative character. If tho appropriation bo
tntule for tho benefit of the men described hi the reso
lution, it cannot bn for nnv m-rvicoa which they liavo
rendered to tin- state, or in consideration of wny sc v-
j* which they ure hound bylaw or contract to ren-
hrnufter. By thecon-tituiimi, the general as
sembly cannot, hy resolution, grant nny donation or
gratuity in favor of nny person whatever, but by tho
concurrence) oftw-nthird-. If tlio money attempted
to ho appropriated by tlio resolution* Is not for servi
ce* already rendered to the state, norhitreufiei tobo
rendered, I do not porcche clearly how tho appro
priation can ho considered nnytliiiigclsothnu ti grat
uity. This conclusion hn- prolmldy been intended
to be avoided by tlio second resolution, which orders
that the money oxjHUidcd in pursuance oftho appro

what means could properly ho tnkon to ro-imburso

stitution of tlm United Stales, to appoint tho oili

-f the United States, Tho law of Congress nurimri-
ring tho President to ruiso volunteers for tho Florida
service, directs that tlm officers shall ho appointed
according t o tho laws of the Slate to which they may
belong. Tlm Constitution of this Slate directs flint

even Imvii raised under rim nuthnrity of the President
of tlm United States, still they iniut be commanded
by a llrigiidier General chosen by tlm legislature,
nnd called into service through tho orders of thoGov-
oriinr oftho State.
I urn not satisfied that the legislature Im* thn con
stitute.u ri power, to nppwqiiiata hy theso resolutions
thirty thou uuiri riollr.rs for thn purposes stated in

contingent fund by tbo Governor. Tim constitution
provides that nn money slitill Im draw n out of tlio
treasury nr froiii tin* public fuiuls of the Statu, except
hy appropriation made I y law. '1 bo object of tliis
provision is to secure tho pc nnlo from inconsiderate
and improper di-po>i(iiiiis efllio public money, by
subjecting each appropriation made by tlm legisla
ture, to tlio investigation produced by reading liio
bill containing it, three time* on three separate day*,
in nm h house, a- must lio done before a law can he
passed. A rnniingoftt lund L created during each
sos-ion of tlm lesislntuio for tho executive depart-
inenl, becnti-o tlm b-yislaturo cannot foresee, nud
therefore cannot provide specifically, for all tho ob
jects requiring on advancement of money by the Gov
ernor from etic sossio i of rite legi-lntinc 11 tlio suc
ceeding. Iflle'su moil now inarching tu Floridn,
hud passed by tlio seal ofgoveriiinent, wliilnt tho leg
islature was uni in in -e»*ion, tho Governor could
not have advanced lo them thirty tlmu-iiml dollars,
to defray tlieir expense-, out oftho contingent fund,
beenii-o they were not in the service of rim State,
nud the legist lire could not luivo intended to provide
for siieli a cootingency. The last contingent fond
wn-appropriated for tlie political year 1037, which
according Inlhe prariien of making up nmiimls nt
tlio treasury office, expired tho Insldny of Octobers
so that tho unexpended b-iktuce of that fund Ims be
come a part of the unappropriated fund of tlio State,
to be nppropiluted hy law ns other public money, ex
cept for such expenditures us were made during the
political year 1037, nud properly chargeable upon
that fund.
For these reasons it appears to too Ineonsi-tont

Sir l Having been authorized liy the Secretary of

nnd Georgia, for a volunteer force, to bo employed
in Florida during tho ensiling campaign, I have re
spectfully tu request that your Excellency cause
twclvo hundred volunteer* to he detached for this
service—I dexiro that four hundred of them ho
mounted und form a battalion of four spy compa
nies; and as it is difficult to supply forugo in tliis
country for a numerous cavnlry, ami as it is contem
plated to supply a portion of the force In boats on
tbo rivers and lakes of tho interior, I desire that tho
remainder ho organized into a regiment of foot.
If Mnj. Nelson, w ho, with n battalion of mounted
tnon,served during tho last campuign, with thn great
est honor to himself and advantage to tho country,
could Im- prevailed upon to enter the scrvico again,
ho would im a most suituhln officer to command
oitlicr corps, and no ono would be more agreeable tu
me.
An officer of tho nrmy will bo directed to report
to your Excellency, for the purpose of mustcriug the
troops into tho scrvico of tho United States. If,
however, ho should not nrrivo in time, any gtvitle-
mail whom you may appoint, will ho considered au
thorized to perform that duty.
Tho frontier has been quiet throughout tho sum
mer, nnd hostilitins will not ho renewed until we at
tempt to remove tfio Indians— 1 then they will fight,
nnd fight desperately. From information which I
Intvo received ut different times, and through differ
ent channel*, I have nn doubt there is nn understand
ing between th Seminole* nnd a portion uf the slnvo
population of the South S how far that connexion
extends, it is impossible tu say; but I consider it uf
the utmost importance to the slnveholding States,
that tho w-nr l,o promptly brought to a close.

In addition to tho troops required from tho State

gade from Louisiana. Tho regular forco and friend
ly Indian* will amount to 5,500 men men, whbh
with volunteers nnd militia from tlie neighboring

The army will move in four columns, and I hnd
at oiio time a hope of commanding one of them to ho
composed of u brigade of mounted volunteer* from
Kentucky, and such other troops as I could hav
raised. Rut my offer to engage in this service hav
ing been rejected by tlie Secretary of War, I liavo

Tho Deputation of Cherokee*, accompnninl by

after Which, horses wore ordered, and tlie deputa

late on Friday night. Next morning the Command

and all tho officer* now here called at thu Hotel aiwl
invited Col. S. und tho Cherokee deputation to vis
it Coalmjo, Oscola, King Philip,nnd other Seminole
chief* nnd warrlois now confined in tho fort. Soon
after, tho whole procession, with tho Cherokee* in
full costume, arrived and w.-ro formally introduced,
by all shaking hands, &c. Benches were then bn.’t
into tho great square of tlio Fort, and tho Seminole
Chiefs took their scats; tho Chcrokces set facing
them, with Col. Sherburne on their right, nnd next
to him sat Cupt. Brown, the General’s aid and nil
tlie officers standing hy, surrounded by nlmut
hundred warriors, nil dressed in full costume.
Col. S. was informed nil were u niting, when he
made a motion to the C'herokco speaker, who com
menced n talk through Pompcy, the black interpre

and wiih a hope that pence through their iufluenre.
might bo made {that they Imd cotno over big waters
and long trails to seo their red brethren, nnd brought

answered, they were ul) rejoiced to take their red
brethren by the hnnd, and smoke with them tlie pipe
of peace, and hoped peaco would bo restored, and
they were willing now to go to their now homes
and wished bis warriors could hear them speuk, for
then they would como in and bury tlio hatchet, See.
This took over an hour but there wns much more
said which could nut be distinctly heard; it ended
in smoking the pipo. Col. Sherburne then addres

and to sen them remove to their now hunting grounds
