show that such was the intention of the act, we

The House or Senale order a bill printed to-day

do the work? Men have been elected to do the
Public printing, who did nut execute it at the .suit

and what has been the result? The people well
know that the Laws and Journals in two cases
were nearly a year behind tiie time allowed by
law in which to have them ready for delivery
1 !.is office, as every officer about the Scat of Go v- -
eminent will testify, has always executed and de- i
liv> -d the work at least a month before tiie expi
ration of the time allowed by law. We have the
paper, the press, the type and other material to do :
the printing promptly and with dispatch, and re- '
-pet-bully ask the Legislature to give it to us.
To llir Members of the brjUlaturp.
M e have learned with surprise that censure was
t-upon the public printeis iu the House last
Thursday by Judge Cabiness, because they pub
lished an Appendix to the House Journal last
vt-ar. If Judge Cabiness will read the appendix
h>- wiil learn that it was ordered to be published
I v the Governor. It is the duly of the public
printer to priut whatever is ordered to be printed
by either branch of the Legislature, or trie Exec
utive, and the public printing is done under the
care and supervision of the Executive. The pub
lic printer is not responsible for ichat is ordered
>o he printed, but only for the manner m which
be work is done, and every portion of his work
is examined and passed by the Comptroller Gcu-
rai before he can get pay. The Appendix does not
add P take from, mutilate or change the Journal

York City has gone for the Democrats by j limes.’ We extract the following from
the. conclusion of his essay, touching leather
and its substitutes :
1 here are two modes of preparing the
skims for use—one is by' tanning, and the
other by tawing. The first of these re
quires month or years ; the last only *a few
weeks ; the first produces thick leather, the
last thin. In tawing the skin is soaked
and scraped to get rid of the hair ami
putreseible parls, then treated with alum
ami salt, tlieu stretched and scraped to
make it flexible, and in some cases satura
ted with animal fat or grease.
It is only by custom and convenience
that we are confined to leather ’in the
making of our shoes. Any substance
which will exclude the water, and will en
dure the rubs and thumps given bv the
foot will do for shoes, A iiatter can make
an excellent shoe out of felt, and by the
same process which he uses in making
hats ; using ,e other mold, and a water
proot mixture in the sole to keep out the
wet.
A farmer may make, very pleasant shoes
out of an old wool bat by providing a suita
ble sole; and lie may provide a suitable
sole by com binding several thicknesses of
felt with a little wax and rosin, or wax or
India rubber or tallow, inserted between
the leaves to keep out misture. Osnaburgs
boiled in linseed oil and wax, and then
blackened will do very well for the uppers,
only it will require a lining of osnaburgs
again to make it sufficiently strong, a:.d to
keep the blackened side from defiling the
foot.

In Troup county, on the 28th nit , Col H. H.
Waters, Secretary of the Executive Department,
to Aliss Sallie A. Cameron.
James P. Ellington, died in this city on the
27th ot October, ot pulmonary disease. He was
a member of the Baldwin Blues, and had been in
set vice more than a year, w hen he was so enfeebled
by disease as to be compelled to ask for a dis
charge, which he obtained. His fellow soldiers
say that lie was a true soidier, ever at his post,
and ever willing to do his duty, so long as he was
physically able to discharge it. He was a soldier
ol three wars. He served in the Mexican war,
and saw niueli hard service, though engaged in
no buttle He was with General Walker in his
Nicarauguau Revolution, and while there, no
doubt from hardship and exposure, prepared his
constitution tor the inroads of that subtle disease
which terminated his life. He was a printer by
profession, and one of the thousands of that class
who leave the rose to shoulder a musket, when
ever the country calls. Like all other men ha
had some faults; but withal he was an honest
and peaceable man. “After life’s* fitful fever he
sleeps well.”
Died, in this city,on the 4th inst., in the 83d
year of her age, Mrs. Mary E Blount, relict of
the late Col. Richard A. Blount. A professing
Christian for more than fifty years, her last utter
ances were in praise of h* r Lord and Saviour.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Milledgevii.le, Ga , Nov. 1st, 1862.
i
To the Planters oj Georgia :
Since my late appeal to some of you, I am in
formed by Brigadier General Mercer, commanding
at Savannah, that but few bauds have been ten-
dered. Wheu the impressments made by General
Mercer some weeks since were loudly complained
of : it was generally s? id, -bat while the Planter,
objected to the principle of impressment, they
would promptly furnish all the labor needed, if an
appeal were made to them
I am informed that General Mercer, now has
ample authority to make impiesamtct.s. If the*
a sufficient supply of labor is not tendered witbin
ten days from this date, he will resort immediate
ly to that means of proem ing it, with my full sanc
tion, and I doubt not with the sanction of the
General Assembly.
After you have been repeatedly notified of the
absolute necessity lor more labor to complete the
fortifications adjudged by tbe Military authorities
in command, to be indispensable to the defence of
the key of the 8tate, will you delay action till you
are compelled to contribute means for the protec
tion, not only of all yenr slaves, but ofyour homes,
your firesides and your altars?
I will not believe that theie was a waDt of sin
cerity in your professions of liberality and patriot
ism wher. many of you threatened resistance to
impressment upou principle; and not because you
were unwilling to aid the cause with your means.
I renew the cal! for negroes to complete the fortifi
cations around Savannah, and trust eveiy planter
m Georgia will respond by a prompt tender of one-
fifth ot all his working men. As stated iu my for
mer apptal, the General in command will only ac
