THOMPSON lUKD. Milledgeville. Oct. 26. Wealth o f Georgia.—Since the 30th Sept. 181T, (says the Savannah Republican,) the valu ation of exports has increased near four million of dollars ; which we think, will place Georgia the third state in the Union, on the list of amounts of exports.

General Jackson.—We arc astonished at the industrious anil indefatigable attempts which are making to poison the public mind against tliis dis tinguished and valuable officer. Eiery effort which hostility could dictate, or ingenuity devise have been putin requisition to give a premature bias to the public mind, and to usurp, as it wee, the public sentiment. “ The public have already pronounced sentence on gen. Jackson”—with his conduct “ the nation is dk-atisfied.”—Such are the sweeping, unqualified assertions of his adver saries. llut will the ingenious gentlemen be kind enough to tell us from what standard of public sentiment they have graduated these liberal con clusions ? Are they drawn from the voice of the people, or Irom their immediate representatives? They are not—will be the unhesitating answer. We had recently, many personal opportunities ol consulting the public sentiment in some of the middle and northwestern frontier counties of the state—and we are confident we do not err wh we say, that that sentiment was,'generally, an unqualified approbation of the public conduit of gen. Audiew Jackson. Public opinion in this country, is intrinsic; it emanates from the peo ple themselves—and is not the spurious bantling ol ministerial corruption, but the legitimate off spring of the elective franchise. The ashes of antiquity too, have been raked up to furnish parallels of infamy lor the ambitious and despotic Jackson as he is called. His name has been associated with a Nero’s—and the dark shades of a C'tusar’s history have been thrown o- ver his reputation ; such school-boy rant—sue! ridiculous absurdity, however, is only calculate to provoke the pleasantry TO TIIE rUBLIC V RESPECT for the opinion of the good citi zens ot' this slid the ntWo.mng states, induces Uni to present myself befoie them, they Will, 1 trust, pardmt this intrusion, and deem it not impertinent.

Win.'It I determined upon moving from Virginia to this state, I deemed it propel to sell that lot of land, as well as some others. 1 accordingly repaired to that quarter of Vir ginia in which the l..nd .s situated, and having arrived there, I proposed in the presence of a number of gen.ie- men, to sell it; a friend oi mine who was present, po ut, ed to Gabr.el Beasly, and observed that lie had already sold it to John Randolph.

JILL be sold at Madison, Morgan county, IT on 1st Tuesday in January next, one half lot of laud, it being part of lot No. 242, in the 4th district of Baldwin now Morgan county, ad joining the lands of Warren Jordan and others, situate and I . ingou the waters of Sugar creek, nearly half of it cleared, under a fence, a com fortable log liou»e, brick chimney, with all neces sary out buildings, well calculated for a small anxious that 1 should sell the land to Beasly, in order that Beasly migle. make linn legal lilies, the consideration which was offered not amouitting to what I asked for the land. I bade them farewell and proceeded on my jour, ney. Having gone some distance, ) was much surprised at the appearance of Randolph and a mend of Ilia, who were both armed with guns, and who having got before me were posted ill the midst of the highway, waiting my approach. 1 rode immediately up to Randolph, who en. quired if 1 was armed. 1 replied in the negative, observ. mg that 1 had nothing but a kn.fe, upon winch some con versation ensued, and Randolph liav.ng lent Heasly tiie sum at which 1 held my land it wa. offered me; I ac cepted it, and having exeemed the necessary writings departed; 1 presume that Randolph intended to intimi date me, and by menaces to force me into measures; but being baffled in the attempt, he acceded to my proposals. I now expected to hear nothing more of Randolph until my return to Virginia, when 1 intended to have an inves tigation of i.is conduct towards me. But l lintl from the address of the Poor Man’s Friend (which I certainly at- tribute to his pen) that he is not reconc.led at the issue of that affair, that iie hoped his malevolent publication might have reached this section of the tin on nt time to frustrate those designs, which lie says I entertained ; and might stigmatize the man who never injured It.tn, and of whom he laid no reason to complain. To Randolph I will merely say, that all he can utter ag.iaist me cannot injure me, and m language with widen he ib perhaps con versant, 1 will say, ” cease viper, you gnaw s lilt; ’ for so iiu- as 1 liave heard, Ins publication is regarded as the ef fusion of a distempered mind, and has not been deemed by many of my f iends worthy of a serious refutation. Randolph probably supposed that it would injure me to publish that 1 was once a Waggoner—he is, however, much mistaken. 1 proudly acknowledge that fact t for it is to that humble but certainly not dishonorable occtt. pation, that I am indebted for many of the comforts and comeu.enecs of l,fe which I possess, lie is, however, mistaken in the supposition that 1 am a uegro trader. He probably inferred that l was, from tiie circumstance of my offering him g D'JU for a mulatto hoy I saw at his house. He is uniortunately as much in the dark respect ing the negro boy anti grey horse of winch he speaks— they ate my own, and were bought widi money, as hon estly obtained us that which was p .id Beasly for his land. Tiie remainder of his confused publication is too unim portant to merit a reply, anti 1 will close this communi cation, winch 1 have been reluctantly compelled to length en to loo great an extent, by adding that which Randolph is alia.d or ashamed to add—my real name.
