(CONSTITUTIONALIST. AVGUSTA : FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 25. 1831. Wi tender to our readers the compliments ot the ■?rat frcst, of any consequence, which has visited us this season—the mornings cf Wednesday and i Thursday presented a cheering sight to the valelu- j dinarian, as well as to him of iron nerves and co bust health.—After a summer and autumn of such 'Unexampled distress to our city, nothing could c have been more gratifying than a visit from the r .. Ruler of Hi’ inverted yo.ir, His scatter'd hair with sloel, like ashes 611’d— ' His breath concealed upon his lips, his cheeks 1 Fring’d with a beard made white with other mows 4 Thau time of age ; Hi* forehead wrapt iu cloudi— A leaden branch hit sceptre ; and his throne A sliding Car,—— —— Urged on by florins along its slippery way.” The last Milledgeville Journal contains a slight sketch of the debate upon the resolution introduced to modify the act of Lot cession in reference to the in- i terminable subject of Attorney’s ti Jury tees -as also, some remark* from a doien gentlemen or so, upon m bill from the Senate to reduce the price of Grants in certain Lotteries from six to five dollars. We wonder, for our part, how there can always be so • many friends to one sort of reduction, while more; important subjects for that kind of razee ing are | neglected.—Arguments in favour of each are pre dicated of the will of the sovereign people.—But more anon. Mr. Custis in a late speech upon Poland, says ! •> friends and countrymen, remember that on | ». the days when ye struck for your freedom," two distinguished ch.valric Poles repaired to your stand-1 »rd. Pulaski bivouacked with Lafayette on the night preceding the hard tough' field ot Brandywine, tin that memorable day, the small force ot American wav airy was principally under the command of the i gallant Pole, who, riding up toward the British 1 Horse, that greatly exceeded him in numbers, waved hi* sabre, and cried to the foe, “come Mes sieurs, come and take the sword of Pulaski." At the siege of Savannah, the French and Americans, after several desperate assaults, were repulsed from the works. Then it was left for Pulaski to dare what warrior never dored before,, tfi e assault of a Certified town by cavalry. In the onset he received a mortal wound, and fell, extorting admiration from his enemies, and sealing with his blood his devotion to our cause. Grateful for his services, Americans have associated the monument of Pulaski with that of Iheir awn illustrious Green; and he (Mr. C.) called upon Americans to deck that monument with « wreath of never fading laurels, by aiding the coun trymen of die Hero to obtain the freedom, hi* life’s vblood aided to obtain for us (Cheers.)’’ Prom liie Macon Messenger. Extract of a Letter from Milledgeville, N.OT*JiBSK 17th. As you will perceive from the journals, we have kaen catting out a great deal of work, some of which, no doubt, will be spoiled in the making -Amidst the mass of local ma ter which we have been notified will require our legistadve function* some few bills as general interest have been reported The deter ■Tnination la .amove the Indiana kay/knd thi •«»«■ sippi appears to be fixed and set tied —» strong dis position is manifested to reduce the salary of the Judges, but it is supposed by those who are an fast in these matters that the attempt will be fruit less. The opposition to the Penitentiary system tt very decided, and has already elicited from some of our political economist* many sage speculations which may be regarded as improvement* in the science of natural law. Although opposition to the system chime* in with popular sentiment, I have not yet heard one well founded argument against it from the wery few who pretend to reason upon the subject. The Savannah Republican of Saturday last,’stales -hat—"A Petition and Memorial to the Legisla ture, for the purpose of gaining funds to erect t bridge over Savannah River,, just above the city is mow circulating, and has already obtained a large tnumlf ar of signatures. U sta.e* that tna only com munication between Savannah and the part of Caro lina adjacent, is more difficult, than with places hun dred* of miles off Tlie ferry, which, is now the is two miles long, & not sufficient for pur. pone* of trade. By the construction of a Bridge, «nd proper causeways and roads Leading to it, the trade of a wealthy part of Carolina from which Sa vannah is now totally excluded, would be opened. A bridge would 'open a communication with a coun try from 80 to 100 miles in length, and 30 in breadth. To most of us. so difficult is the access from the Georgia side, this is a perfect terra intngnila. Should the Legislature grant the Petition, it will no doubt prove of immense benefit to the city. The cost estimated at 50,000 dollar*—and there is every rea son to suppose, that the amount of tolls from the wagons aid carts, which will convey the produce to Savannah, would amount to 5000 dallars per an num- There are no serious obstacles to the erec tion of a Bridge, and we hope that the Legislature will listen to the voice of the oldest city in the Jtate.” -- St. Mary's Church, which was burnt down yes terdry morning, was in 5 lien IF street, near Pitt, and not in Put-street, as we staled It is doubtful whs- Hher the fire was the result of accident or design. The building was insured for 8000 dollars. Tlia Commercial Advertiser give* the following particu lar* of the damage done by the fire ; No 23, [Sneriff street] a three story frame build jig. owned by Mis. Hdsey, and occupied by A lennedy, slightly injured. No. 25, *tw > story frame budding owned by Mr, ■yaudewater, occupied by Timothy and Benjamin Ward and Jacob Sandford—destroyed- No. 27, a two story frame budding, ownetl aud *ecupi'd by Cm* Nue-rdes’royed.

Stebbins., All destroyed ex «epi the walls—no insurance. No 35, a two story brick building, owned by Ira Clark, occupied by Ira Clark, Nathaniel E. Adam* iivl Sarsh Clark—much injured in the rear. • On W.llett-etreet- The plaster factory of Messrs. Mount and Robleys, slightly injured. ’ Two or three stable* were burnt down v The Methodist Episcopal Church took fire, but was jxUngU'Sbed before any serious damage was done. ('be entire loss sustained is estimated at upwards *f 20,000 dollar*. [.V. Y. Sentinel' Paovismes, November 11, 1801, j FACTORY BURNT, rdtton Factory twinblishnaent, owned by the Orleans Manufacturing Company, situated on Pal iner’s River, in Rehobolli, was burnt to the ground last night, between 8 and 9 o’clock. The factory building was of wood, containing about 2,000 spin dles. The fire took in tbebhule room, in tin* gar ret, but in what manner is unknown. Very little of the machinery or other property was saved The value of the factory is staled to have been 25 000 dollars—ls,ooo were insured at the Hartford JE'na Office. The owners are S. B. umford amd L. \V. Clifford, of lbi« town, H. Peck, of Rehobolli, and a gentleman of Newport, whose name we could not learn. The fire was distinctly visible in this town for more than an hour. Eeveral fifty dollar bills of the North Bank of this city were shown to us yesterday, from each of which a narrow strip had been taken in such a uaj as that from every 12 bills a new one might be formed. In the places thus mutilated, they were blotted with ink so as to conceal the deficiency of the letters,. I and pasted on the back with small pieces of paper.
