FOR tHE CONSTITUTIONALIST. Loss in weight on Cotton shipped from this place, has grown into an evil which de •wands the serious attention of our Ware ; House merchants anil purchasers of Cot ton. The cotton shippers ask for exact. ' strict and impartial justice. Then why fe it, that the Charleston weights almost in variably hold out in other markets, while the. Augusta weights fall short, and tliat this is a fact, every shipper of Cotton will attest.--So general has this evil become, that Cotton f rum this place cannot be sold j in New-York without being reweigbetl—• while Cotton from Charleston can be sold at the marked weights, so uniformly cor rect is their weighing. The Cotton shippers have reason tocom plaih when these facts daily come home to - them. JUSTICE. Milledgeville, Nov. 15. According to the 2d section of the 2d, article of the Constitution of this State, as r). amended, the returns of votes for Gover nor were opened by tbc President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, in the presence of both branches of the General Assembly, on the 9th inst. It appeared that George M. Troup had 20,545 and John Clark 19,862 votes, giving a majority of 683 to G. M. Troup, who was thereupon declared duly elected Governor for the ensuing two years. On the 10th, the Inauguration took place. At 12 o’clock the Senate repaired to the Representatives Hall. The Governor elect, accompanied by our distinguished citizen William 11. Crawford, the Committee of f> Arrangement, the State House oilicers. Judges, Solicitors, &c. entered soon after- I wards. He was conducted to a seat provi - ded for the occasion, between the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. After a few moments pause, he rose and addressed the Assembly as follows: Pel low-Citizens : I come once more, ami probably for the last time, to present my self before you and take the oath of office.— Possessing no very great confidence in my own qualifications for the public ser vice, I have not habitually or pertinacious ly sought the public favor. It has been ex tended to me freely, frequently, and by the people in a spirit of abundant kindness, sometimes even in advance, always in a degree far transcending my merits and de serts. The late election by the people, ap probatory of the former one by their Re presentatives, inspires a belief that the acts ? of the administration have not been altoge j ther censurable, and that the faults and er- M rors which belong to them, being of the ® head, not of the heart, have, on that ac s count, received a kind and indulgent judg f t.pont. , Resolved, as I am, at all times, to do what under the Constitution and the Laws my judgment approves, it will be my conso lation, in the midst of troubles and em barrassments, that what is intended well, will be well received .; and 'that if at the end of our labors, aught shall have resulted to the public of benefit or advantage, a due I measure of praise and commendation will be awarded. Taking different views of the same subject honest differences ot opinion are to be regarded with mutual deference and respect. The utmost we can hope from our deliberations<itnder free institutions is, that the love of country predominating over every other love, we will discard the parti alities and prejudices which attach to men, and forgetting the strifes and contentions ot the clay, will unite in support of every ( measure proinotive of the public welfare. \J To husband the resources of the slate— to economise the public expenditure—to or ganize a system of Internal Improvement— to foster the institutions which direct the public Education—to give vigor and effici ency to the armed power to execute the laws and defend the state against her ene mies—to vindicate with firmness and dig nity all her rights, but more especially to assert practically those rights of sovereign ty without which, Georgia would be inde pendent only in name, and to cultivate har mony between the different branches of the government, will be.equally your duty, fel low-citizens, as mine; and by cordial co operation and patriotic efforts, I doubt not we will ultimately find our reward in the , (happiness and prosperity of the people. , The oath ot office was then administered —proclamation was made by the President of the Senate in the usual form—the Sen ate repaired to their Chamber—and both Houses adjourned. Su«ar and Colton—ln the West.—A new species of Sugar-cane has been ..itroduced into Louisiana. It has been traced to dif ferent sources. Some say, that it was transplanted from Jamaica, and to that place, from Batavia, Others state that sis or seven years ago Mr. Coiron of Terre aux Bosufs, had obtained a few plants from Georgia, where it had been a short time be fore imported from the Philippine Islands.— 'But however uncertain its origin, its char acter is very high. It is called the ribbon (U*e. It is said to be very superior to anv other species cultivated in Louisiana. It grows wi'h such rapidity that the nut-grass can do it no injury. It ripens one in >nth before the other cane: cold weather does not injure it. When thrown down by the wind, it does not get sour. It is said to grow nearly as well in old and exhausted ground a* in new land. It yields 1500 Hounds of beautiful sugar per arpent, even •o the month of September. The grain is aid to be finer than of any other, raised in Louisiana. Mr. E. Fortier calculates to nake about 200 hhds. of sugar out of it this year: and Mr. L. Labranche, who has the principle merit in propagating this plant, j expects to make 300 hhds. and to preserve cane enough to plant about 250 arpents. Cotton is thriving in the neighboring ter ritory of Arkansas.—Mr. Vaugine, resi ding on the Arkansas, picked on the Blh October from one acre of ground (taken in discriminately from a field of about 35 a cres,) upwards ot eight hundred pounds of seed cotton; & the same ground promised to yield 2or 300 lbs. more. The same gen tleman had in his garden a single volunteer . stock ot cotton, on which were counted four hundred and twenty bolts of cotton. —The Arkansas Gazette of the 11th ult. from which we copy these facts, states that not withstanding the damage done by the ex cessive drought, the crops on the most dis tressed land would average froin 800 to 1000 i lbs. to an acre—in other sections, from 1200 t to 1500 lbs.—and in the county of Phil ' lips, the average would be from 1800 to 2000 lbs. As much cotton indeed was counted , on, as th p planters could find force to pick i it out. Travellers from Alabama and some 1 of the contigious Cotton-growing States . speak in high terms of the superiority of the ’ quality and quantity to the acre, raised up- 1 . on the soil of Arkansas. ' ■ Richmond Compiler, , A question, of new nature to us, arose , lately at Cincinnati, between the Officers of F Discount and Deposite of the Bank of the , United States in that city, and Mr. Moa . uis Moses. A bill, drawn upon the firm of Moses & Jonas, of which he is one, at t five days after sight, was presented for ac ; ceptance on Saturday, the Sabbath of the i Hebrews to which persuations Mr. Moses f belongs. He proposed to defer the accep tance till the evening of that day, it being 1 contrary to his principles to write on the . Sabbath day. This was considered as a re- 1 . fusal to accept, and the note was immedi t ately sent to the Notary to note for non . acceptance. It was, however, presented ; . in the evniug, and was then accepted, and . has been since paid. , An elegant ship of 400 tons, to be called i “ Talma, ” was to have been launched at .
