The thirteenth annual report of the Mana
gers of this Seminary has been published.
The present number of students is stated to
be one hundred and five. Public benefac
tions for the support of necessitous students,
amount the past year to 1,038 dollars. Four
new scholarships have been founded since
the last meeting of the General Assembly,
one by the Ladies in Augusta, Georgia;
another by a Lady at Charleston, S. C.;
another by a gentleman at Red Hook, N. Y.
find the fourth by a gentleman of Jamaica,
L. I. Information is also received, that the
late Benjamin Smith, Esq. deceased, late of
Elizabeth-Towii, and Mr. John Keith, de
ceased, late of Bucks county* Pa. have e4th
bequeathed 2,500 dollars to endow scholar
ships in the Seminary. The whole number
of scholarships is now sixteen. The expen
ditures of the institution, for the ensuing
year, are estimated at &6.000 ; the regular
income at 54.901; leaving a balance of 2000
dollars to be provided for by the General
Assembly.
Among the resolution* passed at the State
Legislature is the following:
On motion of Mr. Lumpkin—
Resolved f That our thanks be tendered to
his Excellency the Governor, and the United
States Commissioners, Col. Duncan G.
Campbell, and Maj. James Merriwether, for
the firmness, perseverance, zeal and patriot
ism which they have displayed in procuring
a session of territory so favorable to the in
terest of Georgia. Our thanks are also ten
dered to his Excellency the Governor, for
his active and patriotic efforts in expediting
the settlement of said territory.
Resolved further, That copies of this re
solution be transmitted to Messrs. Campbell
and Merriwether.
The Legislature of the State of Massa
chusetts have at the present session made
several alterations in their rules and orders
and course of business—Among these the
Speaker of the House of Representatives
has omitted the titles of gentlemen, as he
.flamed them from the chair. The fond
ness for official titles in this country has
Jbeen frequently pointedly and successfully
ridiculed. The Boston Gazette remarks:—
5 ‘ This habit of giving every civil and mili
,tary title to members was so inveterate,
vhat we feared it would be difficult to do it
away entirely, Republican as we are, and
ever have been, still there was a vast fond
ness for these destinations among us. These
additions to names were placed on every re
cord, and kept constantly in every mouth.
It is recorded in the annals of an old church
in the county of Essex, a century and a half
ago, that this day Sergeant Jaquith hung the
hell. In notes of that day, asking the pray
ers of the congregation for any calamity or
fNo t»tl» <>» iUo |jv* own was glVtJll*—-
ir Corporal Fifidd desires your prayers for
him, bound on a journey to Boston —being
not quite an hundred miles. And on grave
stones of the earlier days, the solemn epitaph
of drummer such a one was seen.-’-’
it appears from a paragraph in a St. Lou
is paper, that when the National Road, au
thorised by Congress, from Washington to
Missouri, and the other road, for which au
thority has been obtained, from Missouri to
the confines of Internal Mexico, shall be
completed, there will be an unbroken road
from Washington City to the city of Mexico,
a distance of 3,300 miles.
" Westward the Star of “ Learning “ takes its way.*.*
We have received with equal pleasure
and surprize, (says the Charleston Courier,)
■the scholastic exercise of the Transylvania
University, in Lexington, Kentucky, on the
visit of Gen. Lafayette to that recent, but
•flourishing Institution.—Three Latin and
-three English Odes, together with an ad
dress in French, were among the salutations
ottered to the Nation’s Guest by our breth
ren of the, west, whose literary taste and
talent we delight to acknowledge. We re
ceived by the same mail, an address deliv
ered at Nashville, on a similar occasion, by
Win. G. Hunt, and we hail them all
as creditable proofs of the existence of good
folding and literary talent among the re
cently founded cities of the Republic.
Lafayette. —The gallant General was at
Buffalo on Saturday lust, on his route to the
Eastward. He was to leave on Sunday
morning for the Falls, take the boat on
Monday at Lockport, and after spending
part of Tuesday at Rochester, endeavor to
reach Rome by the canal on Thursday in
the torenoon. It the necessary arrange-'
mentswere made, he would proceed from
Home to Steuben on the same day, to lay
the corner stone of Baron Monu
ment, after which he was to set out for Uti
ca, wiiere he was expected in the evening.
Orders had been issued at bead quarters
for the uniform companies in Albany to'
hold themselves in readiness, to pay milita
.ry honors to the General, and other prepa
,rations were making to welcome him, on
.Jus arrival in tnat city, which would proba
bly be on the I lih insi.
vVe are dticerely gratified to learn, says
the Baltimore Morning Chronicle of toe
13Ui hist, that one d tne Trunks oeloii'f
ing to General Lifayetle, which vvem
flown with the Mechanic when sne sunk, na-.
been reclaimed, and is now on its way to
Boston, under the care of Jr. *Vaterhouse.
It is to be hoped that tir.» trunk may con
tain those ol the G. aeral’s papers whicn
are most valuable to him.
Milledgeville, June 21.
A talk |a now holding with the friendly
Indians at the Indian Spring. General
Gaines, and we presume. Maj. Andrews, at
tended it. Messrs. Seaborn Jones, War
ren Jourdan, William H. Torrance, and
William W. Williamson are present as
commissioners on the part of this state.
On Saturday next, a meeting of the hos
tile party will be held at the Agency. The
gentlemen aboye mentioned and the U. S.
Commissioners, Messrs. Campbell and
Merriwether, will attend it.
Qen. Gaines is proceeding promptly
in tl)e discharge of the duties of his mis
; sion. From his known prudence and firm
ness we have every reason to expect that
1 the unhappy differences which have of late
existed among the Indians vyill be speedily
adjusted. Journal.
