the verbal communication of His Honor, the
Mayor, in relation to the growing evil of the in
troduction of paupers into the city, with a view
to charge them upon public or private charity,
report that they have carefully considered the
matter, and that the demands upon the City
Treasury and upon the benovolence of our good
citizens, so largely increased in this way, have
become burthernome and opprossive, and call
loudly for relief at the hands of the City Council,
if it is possible to prevent such impositions. The
City Council and citizens feel, as charity begins
at home, that it is their first duty to provide for
the sick, the poor, and the unfortunate in their
own midst, and when they discharge that duty,
they have the consolation of knowing that, if
others would go and do likewise, there would be
no further ground for the complaint as to the evil,
which is intended to be remedied by the follow
ing
ORDINANCE,
To prevent the introduction of paupers into
the city of Augusta.
Be it ordained by the City Council of Augusta
and it is hereby ordained by the authority of the’
same, that no person, shall knowingly and wil

pauper or vagrant shall remain in this city, the

The following Report was also submitted by
the Police Committee:
The Police Committee, to whom was referred
the question, whether the City Watch are enti
tled to the fees, in cases brought up by them, re
spectfully report, that section 102 of the Gene
ral Ordinance prescribes that “in every case of
conviction, the officer who brings up the offender,
shall be entitled to one dollar,’ 7 and by the same
section the fee for service of subpoenas is given
to the officer who serves the same. Bv sections
109 and 111, as amended by ordinance of the Bth
of August, 1853, the Mayor, any Member of
Council, ora Police officer, may report cases to
the Clerk, whose outv it is, thereupon, to issue
a summons for the offender. la all cases, where
th£ fees are prescribed, they are given to’the of
ficer, who renders the service, both as a com
pensation. and as «n inducement to a diiligent
discharge of his duty. No lee is given by any
ordinance lor simply reporting cases, but there
is a fee of one dollar given to the officer who
brings up the offender, unless therefore, this fee
be given to the City Watch, in cases brought up
by them, not only is the compensation and re
ward, due to their diligent discharge of duty ta
ken from them and given to another, who has
done nothing to entitle him to it. but the watch
men themselves actually suffer a loss of time and
money in their attendance upon Police Court as
witnesess. Your committee, therefore, report the
following resolution:
Resolved , That, in the opinion of the City
Council, by a lair and just construction of the
102 d section ot the General Ordinance, the City
Watch are entitled to the fee for bringing up of
fenders, whenever the report is made by them
to the Clerk or City Marshal.

Russia and Turkey.
The English and French Fleets—Arrest of a Spy
The Armies—Movements of Troops, §c.
The report that the combined fleets had en
tered the sea of Marmora has been contradicted,
and Mr. D. Urquhart, who has the reputation of
being well posted up in Russian and Turkish af
fairs, has written to a London journal to state
that they will not go there, but that the French
squadron will take its departure from Besika Bay
for Vouria, in the Gulf Smyrna, and the English
squadron will take up its quarters in Port Oli
vate,iu the Island of Mitylerie, and the Turkish
Squadron will sail for the Black Sea. Beyond
this we are told that the war, for convenience
sake, will commence in Asia, and that a young
Polish Jew named Wolowski had been arrested
at Shumla. An important correspondence with
Russian officers had been found upon his person,
with elaborate and stational notes relative to the
Turkish army. He was hurried into the pre
sence of Omer Pasha, who, it was stated, pur
posed hanging him forthwith.
The following curt document is Gortsclnffcoff’s
reply to Omar Shah’s official and courteous no
tice that hostilities would commence on the 25th
ult., if he did not evacuate the Turkish territo
ries :
My master is not at war witlf Turkey, but I
have orders not to leave the principalities until
the Porte shall have given to the Czar the moral
satisfaction he demands. When the point has
been obtained, I will evacuaie the Principalities
immediately, whatever the rime or the season.—
If I am attacked by the Turkish army, I will
defend myself [confine myself to the defensive.]
(Signed) Gortschakoff.
Rescind Pasha’s son was the bearer of the
summons to Prince Gortschakoff. He also con
veyed to Omar definite instructions how to act
in event of the Russians refusing to leave the
territories. Duplicates of these despatches were
sent to the Commanders of the Turkish forces in
Asia ; so that the action of the two divisions cf
the army might be in concert.
The Turkish force now in arm 3, is estimated,
though somewhat loosely, at 300.000 men, name
ly: 120,000 between the Danube and the Bal
kan, 15,000 in Bosnia, 6,000 near Pristina or the
Servian frontier, 50,000 who will be mustered
within twenty days at Adrianople, and from
80,000 to 100,000 men on the frontier of Asia.
The Russians, on their part, are actively in
creasing their forces on the Danube. Immense
barracks are being built on its banks, the ex
pense of which Gortschakoff makes the Hospo
dars pay, and to such a length has the Russian
carried his demands, that the Wailachian Gov
ernment has been compelled to borrow six mil
lions of paistres.
The English and French fleets were to enter
the Dardanelias, but not the Black Sea, except
to repel any hostile movement of the Russians.
A corps of observation is to be sent to Greek
frontier, and another to the Persian boundary.
The Prince of Servia had informed Omar Pasha
that the Serv ians would defend their own coun
try against Austrian occupation.
The Sultan, it appears, since he declared war
passes the entire day in religious duties, under
the instructions of the Shiek-ul-Islam.
Twenty thousand Druses, irregulars, under
their chief Cheible, who so long withstood Ma
hc.met Ali. were daily expected to join the army
of Asia. One half the Turkish fleet was about
to leave for the coast of Asia, between Trebizond
and Batoum.
Voluntary gifts of all descriptions continued
to flow into the Turkish treasury. Jewels,
money, horses, houses and lands, to an immense
amount, were offered for the national service.
Eight thousand “Redifs” were armed, clothed
and equipped from the proceeds of one day’s of
ferings. Military preparations continue with
unabated spirit. The Turkish steam frigates
Fair, Bahri, Taif, Yeridje, and xMedjedie °have
been sent to Beyrout to take on board 12,000
regulars of the army of Syria. Orders have been
given to call out fifty thousand more Redifs, ex
clusive of the reserves. Os these 50,000, 18,000
were armed and equipped by the city, of Con
stantinople.
The Earl of Carlisle had arrived at Malta
Bucharest, Oct. s.—Prince Gortschakoff’s in
spection being terminated, the camps have been
broken up, and Russian troops are moving in
masses on the Danube to the number of 35.000
men, with 251 guns. A rumor is prevalent that
the Danube will be crossed on the 9th or 10th.
T. hecombat will be fierce.judging from the animus
on both sides. The disposition of the Turkish
troops on the right bank is said by tacticians to
be most masterly, and the fortresses which sup
port their position are in a formidable state of de
fence. We are again assured that Prince Men
schikofFis about to assume the government of
the Principalities.
Gortschakoff is very far fsom popular with the
Russian army in the Principalities. The Russian
Commissariat is said to be wretchedly managed,
whilst the Turks have abundance of everything.
Mar is busily engaged in organizing corps of
prontoniers, but may not attempt to cross the riv
er, for some time to come. A contract for 6,000
horses had been made in Russia for the Turks.
Col. Bailey's Election.
In justice to Gov. Cobb, we will notice the
following remarks of the Savannah Republican
relative to the election of Col. Bailey. The Re
publican says:.
“We desire the Federal Union to answer us
a few plain questions. Did not original returns
from Harris county elect Trippe by 31 majority
—at least by some majority ? Did Gov. Cobb
send these returns back to Harris county to be
corrected, it having been alleged that the vote
at one or more precincts was not included in the
consolidated returns ? If sent back were they
COl i. r AT tec *’ * n way, and by whom ? Did
Bailey and his friend Mr. McCune, of
Griffin, go to Harris to procure affidavits in re
garu to the vote of the county, and did not Gov.
Cobb dispatch a letter to the county on the same
subject? Further was Gov. Cobb’s proclama
tion of Bailey s election based upon the returns
of the managers of the election, or upon the affida
vits procured by Messrs. Bailey and McCune?”
ihe original returns from Harris were incor
rect. Gov. Cobb sent them back to the mana
gers to be corrected, i hey were corrected by
said managers and returned to the Executive
Department with the official signatures of said
managers affixed to them. The corrected re
turns elected Col. Bailey by 5 votes. Col. Bai
ley was neither elected by the managers of the
election, or bv Gov. Cobb, but by the votes of
the people of the 3d Congressional District.—

Opening of Savannah Medical College.—
A very large concourse of ladies and gentlemen
were present yesterday to listen to the address
of Bishop Elliott, on the occasion of tbe opening
of the Savannah Medical College. As was to
have been expected from the distinguished spea
ker, the address was eloquent and happily adap
ted to tbe interesting occasion. As the address
will doubtless be published, we shall not antici
pate by attempting such a synopis, as our memo
ry would enable us to give.
We are gratified to learn, that the College
commences its fiist session under very favorable
auspices.— Sav. Neivs , Bth inst.
The New Ship G. W. Garmany.—We per
ceive by the Baltimore papers of Friday last,
that Messrs. Cooper and Butler were to have
launched on Saturday from their yard in Thames
street, a medium clipper ship of 700 tons mea
surement, 148 leetin length, 31£ feet beam and
17 feet depth of hold, to be named the G. W.
Garmany, a merchant of this city. She is de
signed for the Pacific trade, and built for Butts,
Pickrell & Co., and Wm. Mason & Sons, of Bal
timore. We understand that this ship will pro
bably arrive at this port during the winter, and
load for Liverpool.— lb.

Inauguration of the Skills House.
The Mills House was formally inaugurated on
Saturday last. The occasion was honored by
the presence of the Mayor and Aldermen, the
Editorial Fra'ernity, and a large number of invi
ted guests. Alter ajtour of inspection through the
extensive establishment, and inspecting the
sumptuous drawing-rooms, the elegantly fur
nished parlors, the neat and attractive dormito
ries, and the admirable arrangements for cooking,
heating, lighting, battling. &c., &c.,the company
were ushered into the magnificent dining room,
where thfe tables, decked in their glittering gar
niture, presented irresistible attractions to those
whose appetites had been whetted by their pre
vious exercise.
His Honor the Mayor presided, and A. S.
Willington, Esq., acted as Vice President. The
dinner was such as might have been expected
fr< m Mr. Nickerson ; and when we say it was
worthy of his reputation, and worthy of the
Mills House, we have exhuusted eulogy. When
the company had, in the most emphatic manner,
evinced their appreciation of its merits, the
cloth was removed, and the Chair announced
the following toasts, which were drank with all
the honors:
1. The United States: A glorious” House of
Refuge 7 ’ for the Pilgrim and the Stranger.
2. The State of South Carolina: First in our
affections, she is well worthy the pride with
which her sons, both native and adopted, cherish
her history and fame.
3. The Governor of the State: By hereditary
training devoted to the service of the State, he
is qualified to adorn any office, and will be found
ready for any duty.
4. The Mills House: May it iong stand and
paosper, a monument of the enterprise of a liv
ing citizen, and may it be long before it shall re
mind our community of the loss of a valuable
citizen.
5. Our Host, T. S. Nickerson : Who has
proven himself scrupulously obedient to the in
junction, 'Be not forgetful to entertain stran
gers.”
When the applause with which this toast was
received had subsided, Mr. Nickerson, with
much feeling, and in appropriate terms, returned
thanks, and pledged his future efforts to deserve
the kindness which had been so flatteringly
manifested towards him.
6. The Pressof South Carolina : The lever of
Achimedes, with the fulcrum which he needed.
It moves the world onward in steady progress,
whenever conducted in a spirit of freedom and
truth.
This was appropriately responded to by Rich
ard Yeadon, Esq.
7. Our Architects, Builders, and Mechanics
generally : This House, with many others now
gracing our city, proves conclusively that we
have amongst us the skill and taste to plan, and
the ability and fidelity in execution, which any
people couid require for the highest standard of
material comfort.
8. Our Steamships and Packets: Floating
Hotels under able and experienced management,
they are well to break and ease the
shock, the traveller and sojourner in our midst
would otherwise feel on leaving such resorts as
this.
This was responded to in some interesting re
marks by O. Winslow, Esq.
9. The cities of Savannafi, Augusta and Wil
mington : Our nearest allies and most closely
related correspondents beyond the limits of our
own State. May the ties of sympathy and in
tercourse be multiplied and strengthened, so that
the advance ol one will be common prosperity
of all.
10. Our Hotels; May they all thrive and

show a Mixer of cquisite skill, the Planter’s reap
a good harvest after the Bomar plan, the Mer
chant’s drive a brisk trade, and the American be
crowded with natives and foreigners. Success
to them all.
This was responded to, in appropriate remarks
by Mr. Mixer of the Charleston, Butterfield ot
the Pavilion, and Bomar of the Planters, who
united in expressing their good wishes for the
success of the House and the Hast.
11. Travelling: The amount of it a sure in
dex to the wealth, intelligence, activity and
progress of our country. To it we owe in great
part our Railroads, our Steamships, and the Mi 114
House. ”
12. The Railroad Engineer: The Pioneer
who precedes the advent ot Commerce and ever
cries “ Let the rough places be made even, and
the crooked paths straight.” He now plants his
staff, where but a few years since the foot ot the
wild deer, or the hunter, scarcely less wild, alone
was seen.
13. Woman: Life without her, even in the
Mills House, would be but dreary. The bright
minister of Hope and consolation to man, she
soothes the first struggling cries of infancy, re
fines and fashions the heart of youth, shares and
alleviates the hardships and combats that man
hood meets, supports the solitude and helpless
ness of age, and smooths the pillow when the
dread messenger comes with inexorable call.
His Honor the Mayor then addressed the com
pany as follows:
The personal gratification I feel, at having
been selected by our generous host to preside
over this elegant entertainment, is marred by
a circumstance that has assigned to me a posi
tion which oi right and propriety belongs to
another. I allude to the absence from this board
ol Mr. Otis Miils. a domestic addiction prevent
ing his being present among us. And although
we all deeply sympathize with him in this be
reavement, it affords me the opportunity to ren
der a just tribute to a man whose modesty I
know will be less pained by hearing that he had
been praised, than being a witness to his own
commendation. I give you, gentlemen :
Otis Mills: The Proprietor of the Mills House.
A citizen who has reared in his lifetime, such a
monument of usefulness and public spirit, needs
no record hereafter to be gratefully remembered
by this community. Long may he live to en
joy the rewards of his energy and enterprise.
The sentiment was received with the liveliest
enthusiasm, and followed by loud and long con
tinued demonstrations of satisfaction.
Speeches and toasts complimentary to Mr.
Mills, to Mr.JNickerson, to Mr. Earle, the Ar
chitect and Contractor for the building, and to
the City Authorities, were also given by H. H.
Raymond, Esq., by Mr. Johnson, Editor of the
Carolinian ; Messrs. Wiilington, Yeadon, Carroll,
Carlisle, Laidler, Murrel and Gwinner, of the
Courier; Mr. Spratt of the Standard, Messrs.
Ludewig and Melchers,of the German Gazette;
and Messrs. Heart and McMillan, of the Mercu
ry, and a number of others, which we weie too
pleasantly engaged to take note of. In addition
to these, songs were sung by the inimitable
Slotnan, and in short every element of pleasure
and good fellowship was kept in active opera
tion until a late hour, when the company sep
arated, pleased with the House, pleased with the
Host, and in the best possible humor with all
mankind.
The Supreme Court is now in session in this

The Governor’s Message.
This document is a plain, practical and busi
ness-like document, written in a perspicuous
style, and presenting explicitly the views of the
writer on all the topics brought to the attention
of the legislature. There are many important
recommendations in it which it is desirable to
see adopted, and which it is hoped, will come up
before the Legislature, and be discussed and dis
posed of upon their true merits. There is not
one ot these recommendations, to which we are
prepared to interpose a dissent. Some of them
we have long been prepared to sustain, and urge
their adoption. The four suggestions in refer
ence to the Supreme Court, the creation of the
office of Attorney General for the State, the re
currence to Annual Sessions, and the lease of the
State Road, are deserving of especial considera
tion.
Adequate provision lor the education of the
poor children of the State, to the extent at least
of teaching them to read and write, should be
made, and that too with a prompt, free and lib
eral hand. There is no truth more plain, or
more impressive than that enunciated by Gov
ernor Cobb, in the following sentence of his mes
sage:
“The man who can read and write is a well
educated man, in comparison with one, to whom
the Alphabet is an unmeaning mystery ; and the
gulf that separates these two classes is far wider
and deeper than that which lies between the
humblest scholar and the most learned prolessor.”
The Georgia Military Institute should receive
the fostering care of the State, in a more mark
ed manner than it has yet done. It has already
proved its usefulness, and has acquired friends by
illustrating the eminently practical nature of the
education bestowed on its pupils. Properly en
couraged, it will furnish, from the great body of
our own youtb, a corps of scientific, practical and
efficient men that will be found of great value in
all those departments ot enterprise, which are
already giving prominence to Georgia among
her sister States of the South.
There is one suggestion we would add to the
list contained in the Governor’s Message. That
is, the propriety of an organization of Criminal
Courts throughout the State, which shall relieve
the Superior Courts entirely of the criminal bu
siness, and act as Courts of General Jail deliv
ery. They should be so arranged as to be held
about tour times a year in each county. This
would secure a speedy trial to all criminal causes,
and would be a relief to the couuty treasuries
throughout the State, that are now burthened
with excessive expenses in supporting prisoners
not able to give bail. In this particular, alone
the scheme is desirable as a measure of economy!
It is said that the expenses of one county alone,
in this State, were for one year about five thou
sand dollars on this account. This sum would
be sufficient to pay the salaries of two of the
Judges. The other officers of these Courts
might be the same as those of the Superior
Courts, and their salaries paid for by lees as is
now the case.
But the question of economy is of the least
consideration in this matter. The evils of bur
thening the dockets oi the Superior Courts with
the criminal business of the country, and tying
up important litigation, involving large amounts
of money, from Court to Court, and from year
to year, on account ot the time of the Court be
ing consumed with criminal causes, amounts too
often to a total defeat of justice. The delay of
justice is often practically, a denial of justice.—
It becomes often a question, whether prisoners,
charged and misdemeanors, shall lie
another six months in jail, or whether the im
portant civil business of the Courts shall be laid
over to the next term. Humanity, generally,
sides with the prisoners, and carries the day, but
|> the litigants of the Courts are thus called on to
* contribute far more than their share to the cause
tff humanity.
There are other inconveniences of the present
system on which we might enlarge, but these
will readily suggest themselves to the minds of
those familiar with the subject. It is one much
discussed in the legal profession and among their
clients, and is entitled to full consideration in the
Legislature.

Horses, Buggies, &c., to take place in Charles

The Brunswick News.— This is the title of
a new journal just established in Brunswick, the
first number of which is before us. It is publish
ed weekly by Messrs. B. T. & VV. T. Castillaw
at $2 50 per annum. It is a good sized and
handsomely printed sheet, creditable in matter
and style to the rising importance and enterprise
of the city from whence it eminates.

Baltimore, Nov. B. —A Great Struggle in N.
York. —An election took place in New York on
Tuesday, for State, County, and Municipal Of
ficers, which was attended with great excite
ment and rioting.
[There were three parties in the field—the
Hards, who were headed by such men as Daniel
S. Dickinson and Greene C. Bronson—the Softs,
who were backed by the National and State Ad
ministrations —and the Whigs, composing the
friends of Ex-President Fillmore, &c., but who,
it was supposed, would not poll their full vote,
although the chances were considered by many
to be in their favor.
The policy and propriety of the removal of
Judge Bronson formed a leading element in the
election, and the result, judging from the tenor
of our exchanges, North and South, is anxiously
looked for throughout the country, in conse
quence of the effect it is presumed it may pos- !
sibly have upon the fortunes of the National Ad- j
ministration.— Eds. Courier .] ]

Railroad Convention.
In pursuance of a call made at public meetings
ot citizens in various sections, interested in the
proposed railroad connexion between Savannah
and this city, a number of delegates from these !
two cities, the District of Barnwell, and the 1
Beaufort parishes, met at the Hibernian Hall at i
5 p. m , yesterday. The Hon. W. D. Porter
moved the organization ot the meeting by nom
inating Col. Alex. S. Lawton, a delegate from
St. liters, as temporary Chairman, and Geo. H.
Warfir, Esq., as Secretary, which nominations
were unanimously received, and concurred in.
1 he Chairman, before taking his seat, expressed
briefly his sense of the importance of the ob
jects that had convened them, which affected
the interests of both cities proposed as termini
ot the route, and o. all citizens ot the interme
diate sections. He also indulged the hope that
the deliberations and discussions of the meeting
would be conducted in such a spirit as to result
in action marked by wisdom and justice that
would overrule all conflicting claims, and har
monize all in a determination "to co-operate in
executing and carrying out whatever plan might
be lecommended.
Gen. W. E. Martin remarked that from facts
and suggestions communicated by various dele
gates, he did not deem it politic to proceed now
in organizing the Convention. The opinion had
been entertained by many that the Convention
would meet on Wednesday, the 9th, which day
had been proposed first by the Citizens’ Meeting
ot St. Luke’s Parish. There was not, accord*
ingly, that full representation trom some par
ishes and sections which it was desirable to se
cure, and which would no doubt be obtained by
an adjournment over to some hour of to-morrow.
He moved, therefore, that when the Convention
adjourns, it stand adjourned to meet at 5 p. m.
of Wednesday, for permanent organization and
business.
Gen. Martin’s motion gave rise to several
amendments, and led to a brief conversational
discussion, participated in by himself, Ed. Rhett,
Esq., (St. Helena.) Hon. W. Colcock, and Hon.
R. Barnwell Rhett. The question was finally
taken on an amendment offered by the last
named gentleman, when it was decided, by a
vote ol 28 to 15, on division, to adjourn to meet
at 10 o'clock this morning.
On motion of Hon. W. B. Porter, the Chair
men of the respective delegations accredited to
the Convention, were requested to prepare and
hand in lists of their members to the Chairman
pro tern before the hour fixed above for re-as
sembling.
On motion of T. P. Hugen, Esq., the meeting
then adjourned.— Char. Courier, 9th inst.
