NEW SEHIES— VOLUME 11. ® ta © a iio GEORGE W. TOWNS, Goveroor of said State. To the Electors tht reof— Greeting : Having been officially informed, that the Con gress of the United States has admitted California into the Union of the States of this Confederacy, upon equal terms with the original States, a duty devolves upon me in the performance of which, 1 shall trespass upon the public but briefly. An unfeigned deference for public opinion, and the profound regard I entertain for the wis dom, firmness, and patriotism of my fellow citi zens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper of this character, in repeating my known and unchanged opinion as to the duty of the South in repelling Free-soil encroachment, and arrest ing, by all proper means, usurpation by Congress. Whatever is compatible with the honor and obligations of the People of this State to the country, its laws, and its institutions, I doubt not, will receive their warm support. In an hour of danger—when your institutions are in jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out raged, your social organization derided, your honor deeply wounded and the Federal Consii tution violated by a series ofuggresaive measures all tending to the consummation of one object, the abolition of slavery—w hen your equal right to occupy and enjoy the common territory of all, has been denied you, in the solemn form oflaw, under pretences the most shallow, it well be comes you to assemble, to deliberate, and coun sel together for your mutual preservation and safety. Whatever course the extraordinary .vanls by which we arc encompassed, will demand orjus lify, must be left, as it should be, to the patriot ism, firmness and prudence of the people them selves. Upon them devolves the duty of re dressing present wrongs, and providing other safeguards, for future security- Neither the one nor the other of which, however, will ever be effectually accomplished, until, by patriotic ef forts, perfect harmony and concord of feeling are restored, and confidence and concert of ac tion producep among the people of the South. In view, therefore, of the atrocious free soil sentiment and policy, not merely of the non slaveliolding States, but of the Government—of the imminent peril to which the institution of slavery is reduced by the act of Congress admit ting the State of California into the Union, with a Constitution containing the principle of the W ilmot Proviso, in defiance of our warning and earnest remonstrance —in view of the deplorable fact that some diversity ofopiriion exists in some of the Southern States as to the proper mode of redressing the wrongs, and averting the dangers which all must see and feel, let me, fellow citi zens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for each oth r a deep and abiding sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence. Approach the task, from which there is no escape, of deciding upon your duty to Georgia and the. country, with a firm step, bur not without calm, deliberate and pa tient investigation, consulting neither fears nor dangers on the one hand, nor permitting your selves, from exasperated feelings of wrong on the other, to be rashly urged to extreme measures which have not received the full sanction of your judgment Then 1 shall not despair of seeing Ihe whole State, as one man, proposing nothing beyond what the emergency may demand, or failing to perform whatever patriotism, honor and right, may require at your hands. The General Assembly of this Sta'e, by an act approved Bth February, 1850, having requir ed me, upon the happening of certain events, one of which is the admission of California as a State into the Union, to issue a proclamation, ordering an election to be held in each and every county for Delegates to a Convention of the People of this State, to take into consideration such meas ures as comport with the extraordinary posture ofour relations to our co-States, and to decide upon what steps are necessary and proper to be taken compatible with our honor and constitu tional obligations, as well as more effectually to secure our right of property in slaves, and to ar rest all aggressions, by one section of the Union, upon the free enjoyment of the constitutional tights of the other, and lastly to preserve invio late the. equality of the States of tite Union, as guarantied under the Constitution : Therefore, he it known, that I, George W. Towns, Gov ernor of the State ofGeorgin, by the authority and mandate of the law, do issue this tny Pro clamation ordering and directing that the quali fied Voters for the most numerous branch of the General Assembly, do meetat the several places of holding Elections, as fixed by law, in the sev eral Counties of this Statf,*vithin the hours fixed for voting, on MONDAY, the Twen.y-fifth day of NOVEMBER Next ; and then and there, by ballot, elect two Delegates in each of the Coun ties now entitled to one Representative in the General Assembly, and four Delegates in such Counties as are now entitled to two Represen tatives. The Managers of said Election are required to certify and forward to this Department the Returns of said Election in the manner prescrib ed by Igw for the election of Representatives in the General Assembly ; and it is further order ed that the Delegates who may be elected by a majority of the legal voters of their respective Counties, do convene at the Capitol of said State on TUESDAY,the Tenth day of DECEMBER Next. Given under my hand and the Seal of the Ex ecutive Department, at the Capitol in Mil ledgeville, this 23d day of September, in the year of our Lord, Eighteen hundred and fifty. GEORGE W. TOWNS.

ARNOLD, ) „ GEORGE S. OGLESBY, 5 Prn P rirtors - Marietta, Ga., May 25, 1850. 20—ly* DR. CARY COX, M Informs the Public that he is prepared for the reception of persons suffering with chronic diseases, at his Water Cure or Electro Hydropathic Establishment, near Marietta, Cobb county, Ga. His Baths are sit uated near the principal Buildings. The scene in the immediate vicinity is picturesque, being near Kennesaw Mountain. The scenery, pure water, the great elevation above the level of the ocean, (being 450 feet above even the Tennessee line on the Western and Atlantic Railroad,) the convenience of access by Railroad, the refined and intellectual society, and pure atmosphere, have all most admirably conspired to render the location suitable for an establishment of the kind. The Proprietor deems it needless so say any thing relative to the curative powers of either Water or Eiectricity, as the general mass of the people in this country have attained a knowledge of their great value in removing disease. He flatters himself that lie is able with pure Water and Electricity, to remove any character or des cription of disease that could, under other treat ment or circumstances, possibly be removed— together with a numerous host, that all other remedies must necessarily fail to remove. The expenses per day, for a Patient at his Establishment, will be for Board, use ofElectric Shocks and Baths, with Water Baths. Medical advice and attention, with ordinary attention of Servants, $1 50: which includes all necessary expenses,except w ashing an outfit for the sweat ing process, bandaging, &c.—payable weekly in advance.

When I wrote you last, spades was trumps, but now, it’s diamonds, and I have made high, low, Jack and the game. Sure, Ted dy, this is the splendidest country on this side of heaven for the root of evil. Goold is plenty here as turf in the hogs of ould Ireland, dimonds as plentiful as blackber ries in the fence corners. The goold is five feet four inches thick in places, with some lumps of silver here and there— mighty convanient far small change.— Diamonds, rubies; and imeralds may be had for the asking—but there’s mighty few would be throubled with them, then the precious metalsare found so easy in galore Kile f rnensi me, when I sit composin this letter, there’s a fortin to be had for the siftin—the sanks bein goold p.wther, and tho mountains, Teddy, has veins—and every vein is full es the serculatin madium.

Teddy, on tlifl laste suspicions, and faix its my own heal I shakes ivery morning, when I get ml peepers open, to see that all’s right abo'f me, for it’s a thrat of our judge to show rfl partiality. But I’ve got my finger in hn eye, boy. Ivery week or two, there’s I big whiskered chap that comes along (thJ Judge’s secretary,) and collects all dust fi*j the support of his honor and I always givt ; him a tluifie more nor the balenre of mj compaions on the San Jokin. We’re al rale Dimocrats out here, Teddy, and whilt I set composiu this lether, 1 can see one o| the New York Melishy waahin the goolc with scarcely a rag on him saving yout presence. Even the missionaries dig like bog throtters all the week, an delivers mighty improvin discourses to the haithetij on a Sunday. The Injuns is incensed ini this way with the sinfulness of riches, and sells it mighty chape to save their souls. Forty-and five is a great game here.; I introduced it to my acquaintance for that small sum of an ounce a rubber—good! luck to you, my darlin, fur tacking me that! same. Many an honest penny has it bro't to my pile of dust. Bui I shall soon give up teachin and workin, as I am truly worth my weight in goold, bavin morethaua ton in store at San Francisco, and after this season, if 1 have luck, I shall retire from business and build me a fine house on the Sacrymenta, the bed of which stream is puregoold. How would you like to sleep on that boil, my hoy, isn't it iligant. I'll be like a lurk, my jetvil, and niver disown a poor relation; come out and see me, and you shall have diamonds and goold in ga. lore; but faix, you must bring your own duds, or divil a stich you will get here.— Provisions is scarce and little of it. Salt Pork is twelve dollars a pound; flour eight dollars, and coffee, sugar and tea in pro portion, vegetables is not to be had, and pitatoes is worth their weight in goold.— Bring some wid you, Teddy. Only think how your luvin friend, Cornalious O'Flah erty, has travelled. Sure Julium Caesar, Napolium Bonaparte, nor Gineral Wash ington, has ever been this far, and here I am, bavin visited the four quarters of the globe, and if any one will tell me where its hind quarters is, I’ll go there too. Lit erature is scarce, there b -in none in the streets coiners at San Francisco. Good luck to the chap that gave me a knowledge of the beautiful composiu letlhers—it kind er ases my conscience for the lack of chi is taitt instruction and the joys of civiliza tion. When you go to the post-office to in quire for this letlher, tel! the Postmfster I have directed it to the care of your gran mother, for fear you should not be at home when it arrives. So, without mote ado, go immediately, and ax the ould woman for it, and before you open the same, call in my friends, and then you may break the sale and read the ivery word, barrin my love for Biddy, the darliti.
