Sec. 3. Subjects to a fine of $5,000 and imprisonment in the State prison for five year?, ail who shall seize aay person entitled to freedom, with intent to have such person held in slavery. Sec. 4. Prohibits admission of depo sitions in all cases under this act, and provides that if any witness testifies falsely in behalf of the party accused and , prosecuted under this act, he shall bo fined $5,000, and imprisoned five years in the State prison. This Uw is. in the opinion of your committee, but little short of an invitation to perjury, by imposing no penalties on false swearing against the party accused. The resolutions of the Legislature are offensive and disorganizing. RHODE ISLAND. The statutes of Rhode Island prov ide that any one who transports or causes j to be transported, by land or water, any person lawfully inhabiting therein, t-< I any place without the l.mits of the State, except by due course of law. shall be imprisoned not iess than one ■ or more than ten years. They also pro-1 hibit all officers from aiding in executing the fugitive slave law. or arresting a fu gitive slave, and deny the use of her jails and public buildings for securing any such fugitives. NEW YOIIK. This State has enacted that every per son who shall, without lawful authori ty, remove or attempt to remove from this State any fugitive slave, shall for feit, to the party aggrieved, five hundred dollars, and bo imprisoned not exce i- j ing ten years in the State prision : and all accessories alter the fact are also lia ble to imprisonment. The habeas corpus act provides that fugitive slaves shall be entitled to trial by jury, and makes it the duty of all the Commonwealth’s Attorneys to defend the fugitive slave at the expense of the State. New York has affugitive law of her own. which is of no practical use, and has forbidden her juaieail officers from proceeding under any other law. Prior to 1841, persons not inhabitants of the State were allowed to take their slaves with them, and keep them in the State for a limited time, but the law has been repealed. NEW JERSEY. Her law provides that if any person shall forcibly take away from this State any man, woman or child, bond or free, into another State, he shill be fined not exceeding SI,OOO or punished by impris onment at hard labor not exceeding five years, or both. The habeas corpus act gives a trial by jury to fugitive slaves, and ail judicial officers are prohibited from acting un der any other than the law of New Jer sey. PENNSYLVANIA. Prior to 1847 non-resident owner? of slaves were allowed to retain them in Pennsylvania not exceeding six months. In 1847 this privilege was revoked.— Slaves are also allowed to testify in all cases in the courts of Pennsylvania. It is further provided by law, that any per son “ who violently and tumultuously seizes upon any negro or mulatto, and carries such a negro away to any place either with or without the intention ot taking such a negro before a district or ‘ircuit judge, shall be fined not ex ceeding three months. The law also pun ishes with heavy fine and imprisonment in the penitentiary, any person w ho may forcibly carry away or attempt to carry away any free negro or mulatto from the State. The sale of fugitive slaves is prohibited under heavy penalties, and a trial by jury is secured to fugitive slaves in violation of the laws of the I nited States. ILLINOIS. Illinois has prohibited, under pain of imprisonment of not less than one, nor more than seven years, any person from stealing or arresting any slave, with the design of taking such slave out of the State, without first hiving established his claim thereto, according to the laws of the United States. Thoe penalties will be incurred by the master who pur sues h’s slave across the border and ap prehends him, without waiting for the action of commissioners or courts. INDIANA. Some of the laws of this State are fa vorable to the recovery of a fugitive from labor. But the law as to kidnap ping is similar to that of Illinois, as a bovo noted, except that the penalties are greater. The fine is not Jess than SIOO, nor more than $5,000, tfnd the term of imprisonment not less than two nor more than fourteen years. OUIO. In 1858 the most offensive parts of the laws of this State w ere repealed. It is understood, however, that measures are in contemplation; if they have not already been initiated, to re-enact them. MICHIGAN. The laws of this State are peculiarly obnoxious to criticism. They not only deny the use of the jails and public build ings to seeure fugitive slaves, and re quire the attorneys for the common wealth to defend them at the expense of the Slate, but the la* of Connecticut in relation to the punishment of persons falsely alledging others to be slaves, is adopted, with the addition that any per son who cairies a -slave into this State, claiming him as such, shall be punished by imprisonment in the State prison for a period not exceeding ten years, or by a fine not exceeding SI,OOO. Tne habeas corpus act provides for tri al by jury of claims to fugitive slaves. Resolutions have also been adopted by the Legislature urging the repeal of the fugitive slave law, and the prohibi tion of slavery in the District of Colum bia and the Territories. WISCONSIN. Following the example of her sister States of the North, in partsof their hos tile legislation, this State has, in some particulars, gone beyond all the rest. — She lias directed her district attorneys, in all cases of fugitive slaves, to appear for and defend them at the expense of the State. She has required the issue of the writ of habeas corpus, on the mere statement of the district attorned that a person in custody is detained as a fugi tive slave, and directs all her judicial and executive officers who’have reason to be lieve that a person is about to be ar rested or claimed on such ground, to give notice to the district attorney of the county where the person resides. If a judge in vacation fails to discharge the arrested fugitive slaves on the habeas corpus , an appeal is allowed to the next Circuit Court. Trial by jury is to be granted at the election if either party, and all costs of trial, which w’ould other wise fall on the fugitive, are assumed by the State. A law has also beeu enacted, similar to that of Connecticut, for the punishment of one who shall falsely and maliciously declare a person to be a fugitive slave, with intent to aid in pro curing the forcible removal of such per son from the State as a slave. A sec tion is added to the provisions of this Connecticut law, for the punishment, by imprisonment in the State prison, of any person who -hall obstruct the execution of a warrant issued under it, or aid in the escape of the person accused. An other section forbids the enforcement of a judgment recoved for violation of the “fugitive slave act,” by the sale of any real or personal property m the State, and makes its provisions appl . ble to judgements theretofore rendered. The law relative to kidnapping pun ishes the forcible seizure, without lawful authority, of any person of color, with inter t to cause him to be sent out of the State or sold as a slave or in any man ner to transfer h : s services or labor, or the actual selling or t ransferring the ser vice of such person by imprisonment in the State prison from one to two years, or by a fine from five hundred to one thousand dollars. The consent of the person seized, sold or transferred, rot to be a defense, unless it appear to the ju ry that it was not obtained by fraud, nor extorted by duresses or threats. IOWA. The law of this State is similar to that of In'liana, except that here there seems to be no direct provision favor ing the recovery of fugitive slaves. Like that of Indiana and Illinois, the law as to kidnapping roav be so construed as greatly to obstruct the arrest of such fugitives. The maximum of punishment is, however, something less, being five years in the Stale prison and a tine ol SI,OOO. Offensive resolutions have also been adopted by its Legislature. MINNESOTA. What is to be objected to the legisla tion of this State is, that th**re is no sufi cient recognition of the right of the mas ter to recover his fugitive slave; and consequently even if such was not the design of the omission, the way is left open for the perversion of the law rela tive to the writ of habeas corpus, to the injury of slave owners. Such are some of the evidences de rived from official sources, of the rapid growth of unkind feelings among the people of the North to their brethren of the South. COTTON PbAXTKIW’ CON VENTION. Macon, Ga., Jan. £sth, ’CO. The Board, constituted at the la*t ‘'ailed jesiion of the Convention, met to-day, for the transaction of the business assigned them- As we propose anew and attractive feature in our Southern Industrial Fair—the exhi bition of foreign manufactures, as samples of direct importation—it was thought ad visable to add another gentleman to cur Eu ropean delegation. “Whereupon, it was Resolved, That the lion.

From the Daily Telegraph, l-eltor from r. iuyler, Macon, Feb. 8, 1800. Mr. Clisby : Dear Sir — Ah the j building of the Macon and W arren- ! ton Ilailroad, or of a direct railroad | from Macon to Augusta, seems to he ] (generally spoken of, I beg a short ! space in your paper, to present some ! indisputable facts bearing on the j ( subject Unless the contemplated eonhec- * tion between Augusta and Macon is j made by building lienee to Warren * ton, no “aid or comfort” need lie 1 expected from the Georgia Hoad, I Atlanta, and the Atlanta and West j Point Railroad. Without the expenditure of a very j large, sum Macon ami Warrenton can not he joined by a railroad short of j eighty miles. The maximumgrade of ! the line cannot well be under fifty j feet to the mile. The distance then, by the Warrenton route, from this place to Augusta, would be one hun -1 dred and thirty miles, and to the city iof Charleston it would two hundred and sixty-seven miles with grades j of fifty feet between Macon and Au- J gust a* and with the much heavier .rrade on the South Carolina road at Aik in. Cotton cannot stop in Augusta : it must go to the sea, and hence Charleston, in this connection, must , he considered its ultimate uestina ■ tion, this side the Northern cities ; and Europe. i The distance from this city to t Charleston, passing through theCen trul Railroad depot, by the Central and Charleston and Savannah roads, iis 294 miles. The maxima grade on the line is thirty feet to the mile. This line of 294 miles can he work ed at a cheaper rate than the Augus jta line ot 207 miles. Rut suppose it cannot ho worked any cheaper ; i it must be conceded that it would be ! a carrier of produce from Macon to Charleston at as loic a rate as the . Augusta line. | The distance from Charleston to i Savannah /liver, thirteen miles above ! Savannah by the Charleston and Sa vannah Railroad, is ninety-one miles. From the bridge oVcr Savannah Riv er to Marlow on the Central road, in an air line, the distance is twelve J miles. The distance from Marlow jto Macon is 1 <4 miles. Then the building of a railroad of twelve miles | between Marlow and the bridge, a work which could he accomplished with ease in six months, at a cost not exceeding 8150,000, would give a railroad line between Charleston and Macon of 2(58 miles, infinitely superior to the Warrenton and Au gusta line, in both grade and align ment. The line from Marlow to Savannah River cannot injure Savannah or the Charleston road. Indeed, as the Central Hoad contemplates, for cer tain portions of its track, a double way, the building of twelve miles of road would accomplish the task of making a double track between Mnr ; low ami Savannah. I bold, tlmn, that the lower or Savannah line will command the ; business be ween Charleston and Ma j con, notwithstanding tiie building of the Augusta connection throuhg ‘ Warrenton. As Augusta is an interior cotton market, whence cotton must go tn the sea, the contemplated line by Warrenton, if it shall get the carriage of cotton from Macon, can only be a line at the expense of Macon, tbr the effect of it would be to make Augus ta the best interior cotton market. M aeon, by position and railroad con | nections, is destined to be in a short time the best interior cotton market if she does not lend herself to the ungracious work ofbuilding up Au gusta at the expense of Macon. It is admitted tliat the passage traffic of the Macon and Warrenton line would be of great advantage to Macon, but who can doubt, on due examination, that the great bulk of the freighting business the main stay of the railroads of Georgia, wouid be done by the Central and Charleston roads! You will remark that I have not spoken, so far, of the city of Savan nah. I cannot’ suffer myself to boast of her rapid progress towards the dis tinction of being the third cotton port of the Union, hut I invite your attention to the receipts of cotton at Savannah last year and this year.— Cotton from Macon can reach Savan nah in 190 miles; it must he carried 207 by the short contemplated route, to reach Charleston. Why will not the greater part of the cotton frpm Macon continue to be sold in Savan nah. or continue to pass through Sa vannah, on its way to the Northern cities or Europe ? It cannot bo e v peeted that the city of Charleston, which has borne the whole cost of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, will now sub scribe to build up a rival to their own line. The Charleston and Savannah Railroad must work in friendly con nection with the Central Road, for in that direction lies their interest. The fact is, my dear sir, that the opening of the Charleston and Sav annah Road will be the opening of a new era to Macon to the Central Rail road, to Savannah, and Charleston herself. The completion of this At lantic commercial link may not prove df any advantage to Augusta, but Au gusta cannot counteract its benefi cial impress on the general business of the country. I offer as au apology for this ex pression of opinion, that circumstan ces seem to demand it of me. I scarce need say that I am sure much will he said against me and my motives in addressing you. Time, however, will determine whether my views he correct or not. Very respectfully, your ob't serv’t H. It; Cuylkr. GEORGIA CITIZEN. L. F. W. ANDREWS, Editor.

We invite the *pec;al attention of the bus iness men of silicon and of all Georgia, to the Prospectus and terms of our proposed Georgia Citizen Advertiser, with a circulation of 20,000 copies per month. Advertising in Daily newspaper* may do well tnougb lor Retail Merchants and small shop-keepers, whose trade is confined chiefly to town and vicinity, but tho large dealer and Wholesale Merchant, who desires to to reach the country dealer and Planter, will not Lc satisfied with such advertising i.s a Daily circulation of three hundred will give him, at home! Nor will a City Directory or the Chart mode'of Advertising meet the wants of the business man. For example, Messrs. Mears A Cos., have just gotten up a neat Directory of Macon, with a number of showy cards of business men, but already, since the work went to press, many change* have occurred, partnerships dissolved and new ones formed, which render such a mode of Advertising comparatively useless. Ou the system pro posed bv us and the same ns carried out by the Richmond Ya., Enquirer, an immense edition of the Advertisements is issued monthly, and circulated just where it will tell upon the business of those whose names apt oar therein. Every month there is a change of tbc programme, anew advertise ment in a different position of tho sheet, al ways attractive and always conspicuous! l?j.‘idea the.,o advantages, the Advertiser can purchase, at $1 per hundred, as many eopi * of the paper as he may choose, and send the tame to liis customers or those ho wishes to make his customers, and one hun dred merchant* of any place, doing the same thing will mutually assist each other and draw an immense trade to the city where they do business. W e say then, to the merchants of Macon, Augusta, Charleston, Savannah, Atlanta, America* and Columbus, in Georgia, and of Nashville, Memphis, and Chattanooga, in Tennessee, to examine this plan and see if it is not the best for their interest. The mer chants of New Y<->rh-, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore, too, besides the Produce Dealer* ofCincinnati and St. L> uis, will all find it the best and cheapest mode of reach ing their Georgia Customers. Let them irv it one month or one year, and see. We shall be happy to receive cash orders from all the places mentioned and the world besides, in time for our lirst regular issue of the Adver tiser, which we design to have the Ist Saturday of March. On to-morrow, we will issue a full sheet Advertising Supplement, with further par ticulars of our plan, and some specimens of tiie illustrated style ot Advertising which we mean to adopt. All advertisements omitted in to days’ paper will have aahowiogto-mor ruw, and the Supplement will be generally distributed through the city, free to all who receive it.

WE this day issue our Prospec tus for the Eleventh Volume'of the Weekly Citizen, to commence early in April, ensuing. The paper will be of the same size as tit present, but will he materially modified and improved, in several particulars. A limited number of Advertisements, only, will appear in this edition, so as to give more room for reading matter, of use in the ilv circle and at the fire-side of the Southern Homestead. The Proprietor flatters himself that a life-time experience in tho profession of Journalism, fifteen years of which have passed in Geo., has given him the necessary qualifi cations for the work, lie will only say, therefore, here, it is our purpose to make the citizen, in all respects, a first class I'M fAELY JIM, and worthy of a liberal patronage from the whole section of the Con federacy. Its Jjiterary and Home Department will be specially in charge of the Proprietor, who will aim to make it a pleasant and useful visitor to the family circle, in all matters pertaining to domestic econ my, while it will he the repertory of refined thought and a chaste Miscel laneous Literature, suited to the taste of the most cultivated. The POLITICAL DEPART i MENT will be conducted by a gen | tleman well* versed in the political history of tho country, and as true as steel to the Institutions of the South, llis motto will be, EQUALITY IN THE UNION OR iniEEE m of ill mm. ! The Political Department will i not however partake of that in- I tensely partisan character, which can 1 sec nothing good or worthy of sup ! port, save it comes from the author ity of certain Party Leaders and Party Conventions, but will be the learle-s exponent of those sound constitutional principles which form ed the basis ofour Republic in its ear . Her days of-prosperity and renown. ; ‘fhe Paper will be American in its tone and impulser, but liberal to all opinions which do not sap the foun dation of our civil and religions lib erty. it will oppose the modern dogma of Squatter Sovereignty and Territo rial Legislation against property, to the “bitter end,” and give no quar ter to the politicians who place them selves on any such insidious platform. It will equally oppose the extremes of sectionalism, North and South, and labor for National Peace and Union so long as there is any hope of either blessing, but will not he the advocate of’ the perpetuity of j this Confederacy, at any price, or at ’ the expense of the most sacred , rights of its co-equal sovereign i members. For the development of the re sources of the State and tho South, the citizen will ever be found labor ’ ing, believing that the best way for j a people to enforce the respect, of I their'enomies, is to place themselves I in a position to command respect., by virtue of their advancement in ’ all the industial pursuits of Agricul ture, Manufacturers and Mechanic Arts, that constitute the true strength and greatness of a com monwealth. With a view of giving a larger amount of reading matter, the pro prietor intends to issue an Adverti sing Supplement, which will admit of greater display to the favor of J our customers and give a wider eir j dilation to the business notices of merchants and traders. <)t this ad vertising sheet we shall issue about 20000 Copies Monthly OR 0000 Copies'Weekly, at such a rate of charge as must ne ecssarily prove attractive to the bus inessmen of Mac-on and Ga.—tor our design will embrace a system that will extend its ramifications into every nook and corner of the State. OUR TERMS. The CASH system will be adopt ed in every Department *>t our Office, and wc hope to be able to prove that this is best both tor subscribers and proprietor.

A “word to the wise is suf ficient.” L. F. W. A. A dispatch ol the 21 inst., from Washington, says that on that day the members of the House kept the Ser geant at arms very busy in drawing their pay. Tho object of the House in ad journing over from Tuesday to Thursday was to allow the Speaker to sign the wairants for members’ pay. A Washington dispatch to the Charleston Mercury states that an “Al abama member” of the House justly re marked of Douglas’ recent demonstra tion against the Harper’s Ferry raid : “Judge Douglas is scattering chloride of lime over the Smith to kill the stench of Squatter Sovereignty.” j Later from Europe.

A negro man was brought to jail in* this place one day last week, who wa> travelling towards a free S'ate under a forged pass Tie said he belonged to a Mr. Ramsey, of Rome Ga., and (hat one l)r. Clark, of Walker Cos., had given him a pass to aid him in getting to a free j State. Now, this Dr. Clark is a rascal : ly. old, mongrel of white man and negro who has long been attempting to palm i himself upon the community as an Indian Doctor , and has frequently been indicted in Walker County on charges of hog stealing, trading with negroes &e. , On Tuesday last the old black rascal came to llinggold, when he was imme diately arrested upon a warrant from Judge Lynch. He was taken to the jail door brought; face to face with his colored accuser, who faced hi min all he had said before. Whereupon the portly dignified Doctor manifested his profound disgust and indigntaion in a series or threaten ing gyrations vituperative expressions, that were truly amusing to the spectator. After allowing him to relieve him-eif by giving full vent to his feelings, he was es coiled to the thicket by order of Judge Lynch, where he acknowledged his giance to the “ stars aid stripes,” the former of which he saw, and the latter of which he very sensibly felt. After he had been honored with a hun dred or so, he was released, and went on his way rejoicing—as w r ell he might— that the penalty tor his offence was a hickory withe instead cf a rope.—Ring gold Express. SPECIAL SOTICES. It is a commox observation that there are more suf ferers from debility, among Americans, than can I* obvious. We take too little exercise’, and forgot the wants of the body in the absorbing pursuits of busi ness. In all such eases, ordinary medicines can do little good. What is required is just such a tonic and invigorator as 1 >r.
