PROSPECTUS OF Till? WEEKLY GEOR
GIAN.
That a munnl dependence uxitt* between the upper
and lower portion, of Georgia, between the ciuxenof
the mountain* and of the euuutie, bordering mi the
diilant Cliatuliooeliee, and him who*e lot is cast in the
principal Seoporl iff the Stale, where the rich products
of Gcoigia ki'L’k an outlet to tlie ocean, no patriotic
citiren iff the youuge.-it of the old thirteen cun, lor a 1110
yicnt, duuht. Our people, spread over au extent of
country, in which there exitt# every vuriel> of toil ami
climate, have a community of interest which, if proper
ly regarded, and made to centre upon the welfare id
tho mat*, will advance them in science, wealth aud
social pro,parity.
Our people are not only Agriculturist*, and incr-
nliauto, but muuy arc diveiling their attention to inatiu-
laclurca. We thus witness agriculture,commerce, und
luanufariu'c* piiHteeding, hand in hand, to make u*
community great nod happy.
That Georgia in rupidly reaching that commercial
grandeur uml jinlt-pi-iidciicu which her local po.il’
at die key, tune of the long arch iff the inurititne state,
of our Union, aided hy enlightened legislation, must
ere lung eonfe.' ujhiii her, nu ciiuen Willi the prophet!'
eye uf a siatwtiimii can Le ttncnnsciuu* of.
It will be nor study tlnougli the columns of the
Gcur<1 inn not only to spread Li-folelite leader tbe latest
foreign and domestic intelbgentc. nut only to inform
him on national and state |Nilitirt, but to convince It’
that the lirtt duty iff the citiren, eonrurrent with tlte
welfare uf his iiutuediotu family, i* tuculiiraie an abid
ing attachment to the institutions iff hit native State and
encourage that -pint, which will eventually make Geor
gia assume that tank at an independent Male iff this
confederacy, which her noble advantages, if developed
by tbe patriotism und enterprise of her soim, cannot
to secure to her.
A* auxiliary to the general prosperity of our helov"
ed State we would cherish a reciprocal feeling he-
tween the eilixen* iff ndbry scctinn of nur State, and
trek by fact* in convince every native and adopted
tun of Georgia, that no State in the Union contain#
more element* of social linppiurs*,—none a more fa
vorable |Mi«iiinu tn be independent, ns the should, uf
those who trek (aud ill some measure with success)of
making her tributary to llit-ir prosperity.
To vfl'ecl tills, tlie Georgian will refer, un proper
rations, to lo-r own Savnunali, tin- ancient eity nf the
State, ami Invite the notice of tbe eitUen nfthe interim
to her iinprnvciitrni, which from her coiiiiiiuinliiig situ
ation, ha* been gradually onward, nml in recent years
astonishing Exporting from her wli irves near thiean
millto.11 in value of the staple* of the Stale, the it yet
lint little known to a large portion of the Agriculturists
of Georgiaand the merchants of the interior, ill many
iuitam-rs, pats her to swell the profits of the Northern
capitalist, ami thus compel the pun-hater within our
limits to pay twenty per cent to our Northern brethren
for those iiimiufucturcs which could be furnished by out*
own ritixrni. Shallfleorginus submit longer to this
onerous tax upon their industry! The patriotic re-
sjHiine will beau emphatic—No I
One million, lieu hundred thouinuddn'lart, are thus paid
s tax by thn consumers of Georgia, nml mil one year
only, but every- year. It require* little rellcctioii to
pci reive bow our jMK-kcl* have contributed to ninat.'
the wealth of the money king* of the North, how theii
have becume splendid, and their public work*
magnificent.
New Yotk. the great city of a great Stato, export*
but four million* more than Savannah, while her iin-
I*.nation* exceed tho*c of Savnunali nearly 9108.000,-
The profit* on these vast importation#, beyond
the etintiiiiiplionof New York, would accrue to the con
sumer* or the articles, if they were their own ini|Kirt-
*.
If we look at the skipping owned in Savannah, (which
_ cecda (lint owned by llm merchant* of any Atlantic
port Smith of the Chesapeake) and employed by her
merchants, a inoiuent'a 1 eduction will convince our ren
ders in the interior that the enterprising merchant* of
this city are able with their own vessels to tranquil t a
Inrgn portion ofthe exporting trade of Georgia, nml the
iiumerous ships ami other square rigged vessels, which
during the business season crowd her wharves, -in pur*
of freights for Europe/would assist in bringing hark
to her shore* the licit return enrgoe* demanded by the
want# of our population. We would desire too to direct
the uncut ion of our fellow citi/cii* in the interior to the
rapid ndvaticeiiicut of their Seaport w itliiii the last eight
year#. In IH’JOthc population of the city, exclusive of
lilt* aouiity- of Clialtiam, was «?7li. In 1898 it had in
created to 12, 758, being nil addition of more than sixty
per cent, (exclusive of a transient population from
November to March of about 9000 more,) ami in liic
three years ending in August Intt upwards of l6o build
ings (many uf_them brick) of various tixet have been
erected in ilm city nn.l suburb*, (several of them im
posing tire pi oof ware houses, capable of storing large
quantities of cotton.) while since that period many sub-
itantial edifices have been raieed.
One thousand feet of new wharves have nlao been
recently reclaimed from the river for the use of the
city, ami eighteen steam, rice and suw mills,have been
erected witititi the past ten year* in the city nml its
immediate vicinity—five of them having been raised
within the last two y ear*. The value of her real estate
lut thus materially improved, a# evinced by the high
rents ami the atill increasing demand for houses, sensi
bly augmenting the ordinary sources of die city’s reve
nue. If we Hint to the river and enter into detail*
we see twenty two aleaniboots, belonging to tills |K)rt f
with an aggregate tonnage of 9701 M-95, and engine.-
of lO.'l horse* power, besides many plying on our wt.
ter*ami trading here which hail from oilier pines, as
Charleston and Darien. We see aUofAirfjr-srrra square
rigged vessels owned in whole or in part in Savannah,
of which eighteen are ships nf the largest class, aver
aging mure than five hundred ton*. We would tho
l-oint to our Rail Road, which la tutor travelled by l<>-
coswRrr more than sixty miles, ami has l*een graded
for 103 mile*, atul under contract fer 192 from the city.
In this work our city at a corporation, have embarked
half a milium of dollars, besides extensive private sub
scriptions on the pan of our cititett*.
We merely glance at these facts,that our felluw coun
trymen of interior Georgia may perceive that the
prosperity of Mvannah is substantial. In tlte brief
apace of « l'rospectus, details exhibiting our resources,
ami our progress in the scale of cities, must be avoided.
We must allude briefly to other subject*.
Our cotum u shall of course be devoted to all mat
ter* interesting to the general reader. Agriculture,
(and as connected with it the cultivation of silk,) Liter
ature atul tho Art* will receive all the attention which
a Weekly Miscellany can furnish, while the latest
markets, foreign and domestic, will be inserted.
One wool as to our politic*. The character of the
Georgiauwe will strive to sustain. Temperate aud
firm in tone, we shall support the measures of tbe ad
ministration while they adlttre to the policy hcreuffurc
cUaractsruhtg it—but be freejo condemn wlien we
judge it to be wrong.
The teitna of tbe Weekly Georgian will be to single

Tbit isconfiitne l by official admissions mado by
Great Britain lief-iro Iter present claims were as
serted in Kill at tbe treaty of Ghent When a
joint C'-mnriusion under Jay’s treaty In 1795 pro
ceeded to fix the source St. Croix, tbe British emo-
miasionert in teverel inttancet, acknowledged at
well known and unquestionable the rnf limit*
which thn American* now ottign. Britltb pamph

justness of our title und insitt upon •• the ImpOrtahee
of changing the lino and obtaining accession of
this territory {” and accotdingly the Btitith agents
nt Ghent suggest " such a variation uf tbe line of
frontier us mny secure a direct communication be-
iw-ut-n Qui-hcc und Hnllifiu." Un to this period
the cum was clear- But Great Britain aubseqnrntly
fiiidiin; it to.be h^r interest to run another line made
the whole mutter a subject of a long negociuliun,
which wn# referred in 1827 to the urbilrulmn of the
King nfthe Netherlands. That monaich,confined
by tho multiplicity ufcouflicting staiein-m# nr from
some other cautv, uwurdeda kind of compromisa
which the Senate of the United State* hi JB32 de
cided was no decision of the cate tubmitted to him
and <ff course not binding upon tlie States. The
negotiations which huve since taken place are te
plot..- with all the subtlety and special plcuding of
diplomacy. The British Government rc-usiertrd
its cluitn to the whole territory, Ip the communica
tion of December, 1035. The plnn proposed by
Mr. Liviugtton, then Secretary uf State, was n new
and thorough survey uf the whole face of tbe coun
try. After many propositions and demand* from
buthsidv*. anew joint turvey was agreed on in 1830,
with tho understanding that both governments may
udhere, ifllioy please, to the respective interpteta-
lions which huvu been given to the various treatirs.
So far, then, us the negotiation* uf the general gov
ernment uud Great Britain are concerned, the bush
nest it no nearer it* termination than It was many
years ugo. But the ground which Maine lost year
1ts1.11 med, presents it 11* one of immedia'e practical
importune.-, likely tu invulvo the Union in war, un-
l.-»t brought to a mure desirable issue by the justice
nf tlm u.lverte power. In March, of 1838, that
State determined, should the Federal Government
nut appoint u cuinutit.i»n of survey by September
of tbu *ume year, tn muke such nil appointment of
her own authority, uud curry it into effect at all
risk*. Whilst the rircision it pending, there has
hillicito existed a tucit agreement of tbe two gov.
eminent* thut both shall ubsluin from acts of ex
clusive juntdicii<>ii..v«r thu disputed territory.
That such it tho fuel is ovideut from the follow
ing extract-:
"Mr Livingston, in his communication dated
July 21, 1032, remurk#— 1 •• Until this mutter tbu I
bu brought to h final conclusion, the nercssfty ui

ger limn Sit John llurvcy informs Governor Fair-
field thut Mr. Mclutiru the Lend Agent, is at Fred-
oricitui, uml that ha will be retained there by urder
of the Fiuvincial Government.
Mr. McLaughlin, the warden of the disputed ter
ritory, iippiiinted by Sir John Harvey, cante tu No.
lUon the Anio-touk, where the Maine forces ora
stationed, and commanded them to leave the terri-
t< ry forthwith. Ca|itain Kin.-*, who was in com
mand, nrre-ted him und tent him to Bangor where
lie arrived Fell. 17th. Governor Fairfield has nt-
drred Genvr.il Il.algilun tn order out one thousand

tu bo drill! ed front ouch nf their respective division*,
tu hold themselves iu readiness to lie called into ac

Tho Augusta Age say*;
"It does nut ap|iear from the Proclamation that
the Governor of Now Brunswick hod authorized
the resistance made by the trespassers to the (nice
uf tlm Laud Agent, or that he was aware thut the
Laud Agent hud been sunt on hi* expedition by tnu
liigh.-st authorities in Muine. He probably had nu
uiiici.il knowledge of tho fuel, hut w e can scarcely
beliuvu he was w holly ignorant of tbe authorized
character uf thu ferco ut Muine. We shall soon
*..-e in what way he will treat the Land Agent.
•* One thing seems clear, howuver, that he claims
in t-xuici-v exclusive jurisdiction over tlie territory
where these trespasses were committed. Now at
this territory is in the countius of l'enobtcul and
Windimgiun, on townships located feurteen years
ngo, in the vicinity ofthu Aroostook river, where
Maine uml Massachusetts have exercised jurisdic
tion fur half a century, we think lint question of ju
risdiction should be metut uncut und if after Mt.
Rogers has un interview with Governor Harvey, ho
sliull nut immediately release the Land Agent, or
if lie shall nttompl to repel the American foico by
British troops, let it* have the issue at unco."
Goveriioi Fairfield, onSumluy, sent a special mes

quiring the same, and would suggest tho appoint
ment of sworn weighers fur tho city. We would no
tice as a grievance, the extensive retailing of spiri

commend to the City Council to be more circumspect
in the granting of licences for the retailing ef spirit'

Died inTthia city, on the 30th ulu M as ELLEN B.
RENSHAW, third daughtei of the late Francis Ren-
ahaw, Eaq.,nf Philadelphia. In the death of this
mable young lady nut only la an irreparable bi
made in the circle other family connexions, but nu
our friend* acquaintinces feel that they have austained
no enrmr.e 1 loss. Miss Rem haw was rifled by natu e
with qualities of mind and heart which endeared her
te bar friends, and tbnse qualities refined, and purified
by duince grace shone with brighter lustre, and c in
stituted a character uncommonly lovely and excellent.
While her premature removal has filled many hearts
with grief, it haa caused a wound never to be healed
in that other bereaved mother. On this beloved child
she leaned in a peculiar manner for support in her d«-
elinx years: for peculiarly waa she fined by her even
and cheerful temper, her gentle, and affectioiiatr dispo
sition, her mature and practical judgment, tn ahare and
alleviate t'lecarea of increasing years. But her Hea
venly Father hcl need nf her, ami to hi* sammnno'slo
accorded a ready, and unquestioning acquiescence.
In all her sickness and pain not an imp 'tient or com
plaining word passed her b'pa. While tbe power of
utterance remained sliecnntinued to express the aweet-
eat confidence iu her Savior, and toapeak word* of con
solation to her weeping frienda,—ana after speech
lost it was evident that reason remained, and that
aoul waa absorbed in ctmtempUtioaa of the opening glo
ries of Heaven,—on the full fruition of which w« tnu*
she boa now entered and ia employed with the redeem
ed in tongs eapreaaive of gratitude •• to Him wbo krved
