is stated, deems it advisable to retrain ■t om harshness, as far as possible, in tl e fiemoval of the remnant of the Seminole r Indians from Florida. The survey of tbe public lands in that Slate will be pro ceeded with, in order to convince Billy Bowlegs and bis adherents, that it is es sential for their welfare to quietly join their brethren west of the Mississippi.— By surveying and selling the lands, and allowing the whites to settle upon and clear them, ihe Indians would soon bo literally fenced out of the country. From Ihe Constitutionalist fy Republic. Hon. Hiram Warner. Mr. Editor, —The names of different individuals have been suggested in the public press for the nomination of chief Magistrate. This is proper if done in j the proper spirit. Very little, if anything has been said through the public prints, in favor of outmost eminent citizens and who is a particular favorite of alnrge por tion of the democratic party. I allude to Hon. fliram Warner, a gentleman dis tinguished alike as a jurist and a States man. Asa democrat he is unexcep tionable. When the recent unhappy sec tional strife raged with such virulence and ferocity, which tore asunder the phalanx of the democracy, but which fortunately for ue and for the country is now well nigh cemented, Judge War ner was among the first who urged upon the party to forget past differences, and to rally again under the fltg of the dem ocracy. With such and individual as this as a candidate for governor, no ap prehension need be entertained but that vic'ory will attend us. Liberia. A letter from President Ho lier!*, dated Monrovii, AI rch 14'h, states he had just returned from his expedition against the Chief Bumbo, whom he had taken, with fifty of bis followers, without any fighting. The day of the letter’s date was fixed fora meeting of the Chiefs of the disturbed districts to arrange all disputes. With this settlement the trou bles with ihe natives would end, as they were convinced on all sides of the ability of the government to maintain its authori ty and punish transgressors. Lieut. Lynch hail returned to the United States, via England, to make arrangements for his exploration, when he would return and commence iu a few months. OBITUARY.

We find that up to'the first of January last, the receipts and expenditures of that oflicet, had liven as follows; Itcceivcd J 2554 94 D.sburscd 860 04 Leaving a b lance on hand 0f.... T..... $1724 90 Next to the gift of Heaven, of sound, rational judgment, we believe Ihe proper education of the mind ought to be placed, and, as philanthropists, we fuel it a duty wc owe our lelloiv-citizens, to do all within our power to extend that education n mong all classes of our population. Wc accord with our predecessors of la t week in recommend ing the ordinary .to assess n tax for the education of the poor of twelve and a half per cent, l’hc Legislature of of the State of Georgia has been, and is yet, quite liberal in providing incans for the education of the pool; bul owing, partly, to the this feasance of officers, and partly to other causes, the means heretofore provided, have done but little good. This we rcgrei, and hope that hereafter no offic< r charged witn any duty in reference to the education of that unlbrlunaic class of our population, will fail lo and seharge promptl} every duty assigned them. But the principal dif ficulty in the way of educating the poor, docs not arise from the want of necessary means, nr the neglect of duty in the officers of the law; it lies at the uoor ofthe patents, or those having control ol‘Buch children, and exists in their negligence or indifference in failing to send ‘such children to school when an opportunity oilers. How to rem edy this difficulty, has been to uaa mattea of seri ous consideration, and ns the .knowledge of an evil does but little good unless accompanied with soino recommendation ns a remedy, wc have sougiU earnestly for the most effectual way to overcome this difficulty. Legal restraints and re quirements in such matters, is thought to be a gainst the general policy of our laws and form of government. We cannot, therefore, resort to the law-making power to enforce this duty, on the pail of parents and guardians; but wc can by the force of that all powerful engine, pu die opinion, do much to remedy, if not entirely cure tins evd. Let the duty of gving lo children a proper education become a theme ot common con versation, and those who Icel an interest urge it before the more indifferent, and in a short lime public opinion will become so manifest as to over come m a great degree lire evil we complain of. We are aware witn what reluctance many of our ciiizens relinquish old and established laws and customs; bul in Mis day of progress, when almost every thing is made to go with the power and ve locity of steam and electncity r *nd in view of the generally had condition of our public roads, and the fuflorne hope of llwir .ever being much bet ter under our present system of working them, we lee! constrained to recommend a thorough revi sion and alteration of our road laws, which were enacted ‘osiMt the convenience and circumstances of a sparse population, whose roads had compara tively but little travel on them The law which subjects our taming popalalioa to the liability of being called on tliMbb services of rfieir most valu able hands lor five, ten, or fifteen days, in the most busy season of the year, by the overseer oil he road is, to say the least ot it, of doubtful propriety. NVe suggest, therefore, that our people should be relieved entirely from road duty; and, in lieu llierc of, that a reasonable tax be levied to be appropri ated to the improvement and repair of our roads. — No one can doubt that a small company, with the proper i npleinents and an experienced overseer, can do mure permanent good to a road in one day, than an ordinary company, with the usual farm ing utensils,can do in a week. Should Hus change m the law be nude, the road tax may have to be tolerably high lor two or ttuee years;but si soon its we can get all oar roadsonce properly Woiked, it will require but a small amount to keep them up. With these views, wc recommend our representa tion in tbe next Legislature, to urge before that body, the passage of a law winch shall accomplish what we Imre indicate; and if tliey find it im practicable so to change the general laws of the estate, that they ask for a special law to that es lect, which shall prevail in Spalding county. We are gratified to wihiess fin seat that rs daily manifested among our p<op!e in the cause of Tem perance. aud hope lhat the effects now being made will lead to beneficial results. While we would not compel men to be religious or moral by the foree of law; yet, we would always lend a helping hand lo such necessary police regulations as guard our cilizcns agams. (he ex ravagance of the ine briate, and believe it to be tile duty of all god. governments so to manage its political machinery, as to control the ten tinman J evils arising from intemperance. W ; regret tnc neglect of patrol duty as is evi denced by ihe free passage of negroes when and where they please,and rceptctfully request the pro per authorities to be more vigilant in the discharge oflheir respective duties. The practice which wc find prevails to some extent, of placing young, and inexperienced men at the head of patrol compa nies, we led bound to condemn. Such companies should be put under the aged and considreate. In relation to the new Court-House, we would suggest the propriety of waiting until a sufficient q un'ity of funds lias been raised by t moderate lax, to be levied by the Inferior Court yearly, *o’ finish the work by a cash contract; but would leave the action to the inferior Couit ofthe county. In taking leave of his honor, Judge Stark, wc take pleasure in tendering him a cordial exprer sio i of our approbation •’ the distinguished ability and li lelity with which he has discharged the nr diioiniily of die high trust committed to his hands, and hope that the judiciary of Georgia may long have tnc benefit of his valuable services. To the .Solicitor General, we tender the usual compliments, for the able andimnartial manner in which he has discharged his duties.
