Message of the Governor of South Carolina.
The Message of Governor Manning, is at
hand. It is a v >iy long and very able docu
ment, and is valuable not only tor its clear and
dispassionate statement of the flourishing con
dition of our neighboring State, but also lor it*
high literary merit.
The subects, to which the attention of the Le
islature is more particularly called, are the finan
ces of the State, the condition of the Blue Ridge
Railroad enterprise, popular education, and sub
jects connected therewith, the condition of the
Asylum for the Insane, the construction of a new
Capitol, the question of boundary between Geor
gia and South Carolina, the laws regarding col
ored seamen, and to one of the articles of the
consular convention between the Government
of the United States and his Majesty the Em
peror of the Fiench.
The finances of the State of South Carolina are
in a most flourishing condition.
The assets of the State consist of the bank
and various railroad stocks. The assets under
the charge of the bank may be summarily set
down as follows:
Total funds in the bank, as ex
hibited bv the annual state
ment Ist October. $7,919,932 49
Deduct band liabilities, issues,

The South Carolina and Georgia Boundary
question is this alluded to.
At the last session ot the Legislature, the Gov
ernor, in connection with the Attorney General,
was directed to take such *teps to protect the
rights and jurisdiction of South Carolina, in the
controversy now pending between Georgia and
this State upon the subject of boundary, as they
might deem necessary. In conformity with
these instructions, the Attorney Genera! ad
dressed a full and able argument to his Excel
lency the Governor ot Georgia,in reply to a com
munication from him to my immediate prede
cessor, in which the right* of thi* State to the
thread of the stream of the Savannah River, fol
lowing the most Northern branch as the true
boondry between the States, aie clearly set
forth. lam now confirmed in the opinion of
the equity of this view of the case, since by ex
amining a certified copy of the original charter
of 1732, and other records among the archives of
this State, I find the express language which
this State claims to have been used in the origi
nal charter, and under which our title is urg
ed.
This State has a right to rely upon the follow
ing as conclusive in the controversy :—lst, the
words of the Georgia charter of 1732, as given
by Whitaker’s Report in 1736 and half a centu
ry later by Watkins, and a copy of the original
charter, certified by the Lord Mayor of London,
and now among the archives of this State ; 2d,
the convention of Beaufort in 1787; 3d, the
Constitution of Georgia in 1797, defining her
own boundaries.
I perceive by the late Message of his Excel
lency Governor Cobb, that he recommends to
the Legislature of Georgia to submit the ques
tion of boundary between the States for final
settlement to the Supreme Couit of the United
States, in compliance with a proposition from
the Attorney General of this State. I suggest
to you the propriety of assenting to such a ref
erence as the most complete mode by which a
final settlement of this question can be effect
ed.
The following is what his Excellency says in
reference to the Blue Ridge Railroad, and the
extension to that enterprise of additional aid by
the State. The State of Georgia has reason to
fiel some solicitude on the subject, as the con
struction of that Road will necessarily divert
mach trade from her own lines. Much of the
trade passing over the Blue Ridge Road will
take the line of the Savannah River Hailroad,
when both are completed, as by this route the
distance from Anderson, C. H. to Charleston
will be about forty-two miles shorter than by
any other.
u By the act of incorporation of the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company, passed by the last General
Assembly, the guarantee of the State upon the
bonds of the Company, to the extent of $1,250,-
000 was secured, upon the following conditions’:
First, that $500,000 should be previously sub
scribed to the capital stock of the said Blue Ridge
Railroad Company in South Carolina, by respon
sible persons, companies or corporations. Se
cond y. that such subscriptions should be made,
or aid furnished to the Railroad Companies in
North Carolina and Tennessee, designed to con
nect with that portion of the Road lying in this
State, as would give reasonable assurance of the
construction of the said North Carolina and Ten
nessee Roads. These conditions have been com
plied with. The city of Charleston has subscribed
$500,000 to that portion of the Road lying with
in this State; and Messrs. Anson Bangs and Co.
iiave contracted for the construction of the entire
Road, from Anderson, in this State, to Knox
ville, in Tennessee, which renders the connec
tion not only reasonably assured, but as certain
as any enterprise of such an extent can be. By
the terms of this agreement the contractors are
to receive in payment one-half in cash, and the
other hall in capital stock and mortgaged bonds
of the Company. By this payment, the ultimate
estimated cost of the Road is brought much
more nearly within the scope of the resources of
the Company than is usual in enterprises of such
magnitude. At rates agreed upon wi h contrac
tors. the entire cost of the Road, irom Anderson
to Knoxville in Tennessee, together with neces
sary appertenances, including interest accruing
upon the bonds of the Company until the com
pletion of the Road, will amount to the sum
of about $7,500,000. To meet this outlay, the
Company estimate their resources as follows,
viz:
Subscription by the city of Charles
ton to the Blue Ridge Railroad in
South Carolina $500,000
Supscription by the same to the Blue
Riuge Railroad in Georgia 549,000
Subscrip, of Knoxville and Charles
ton Railroad Company 500,000
Other subscriptions, estimated at... 151,000
State endorsement of bonds of the
company 1,350,000
Estimated amount of stock and
bonds to be issued to Messrs.
Bangs & Co., being one-half of
$7,500,000 3,750.000
$0,700,000
It will thus be seen that the means of the
company will fall short of the estimated cost ol
the work about SBOO,OOO.
This enterprise is undoubtedly the wisest and
the greatest which has ever been projected in
this State, and the ultimate results will be as
beneficial to her interest, proportionabiy, as the
great western lines of road to .New York, or the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad now to each of
those cities respectively, and commenced under
circumstances much more favorable to its com
pletion. It is a more important measure than
the proposed Charleston, Louisville and Cincin
nati Railroad, because it is a snorter route, em
bracing ail the advantages of the other, and is
less liable to the diversions of trade Irom the
valleys beyond tbe Alleghanies, owing to its pe
culiar location. By an arrangement shortly to
to be consummated, tbe charters granted in
Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, will
have ail their privileges ceded to the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company in South Carolina, so that the
latter named corporation will exercise entire
control over the affairs of the whole line of load.
By this it will be seen that all means have been
adopted to give security to whatever capital the
State, or citizens within the State, may contri
bute to this great work, by confining the control
of its affairs altogether within our own holders.
To peipetuate this power is in the highest de
gree desirable. It will give to the State the in
defeasible right to a railroad communication from
Knoxville, in Tennessee, to Charleston, and the
exclusive power to contiol and manage the af
fairs of this company; thus establishing in perpe
tuity a highway of trade and travel fr»m the
remote west to oui own seaports, the value
and importance of which can hardly be estima
ted.
In addition to these results from abroad, the
effects of such a highway of trade and travel '
through the State will exercise a great influence
upon her internal prosperity. The improvement
of the upper portions of the State—the. increase j
in the value of property —the many increased (
facilities it will give for commerce—the employ- ,
ment of their labor in construction—the expen
diture of large sums among them for material
and mechanical skill— and the increased value ,
that will be given to stock in railroad companies
already in existence, in which the State also is ,
largely interested —are considerations which
must influence your calm judgment to promote ;
by every safe and judicious means the successful
accomplishment of this great work.
By the communication which was established
by the charter between this department and the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company, I have been en
abled to ascertain, that by the terms of contract
between Messrs. Bangs & Co., the work was to
be commenced on the Ist of this month—and
that a large portion of the surveys are completed,
and found to present fewer obstacles than was at
first supposed. A locatio n has been made for
tunnelling the Blue Ridge, and work allotted to
contractors, —that their preliminary arrange
ments are in a state of forwardness, —that the
Districts thiougb whichjthe road will pass in this
State w ill abundantly supply all the necessary
labor, —that the citizens both in this State and
beyond it have with extraordinary unanimity
ceded the right of way without compensation,—
and that every circumstance tends favorably to
an early and thorough completion of this enter
prise, which was projected by the President and
Company with so much patriotism and zeal,
and prosecuted with such signal industry and
ability.
I have thus laid before you at some length, but
as briefly as possible, all the facts in my posses
sion with regard to the condition of the Blue
Ridge Railroad enterprise. I now recommend
that the State subsbribe to the capitol stock of
$750,000, in order to put the enterprise beyond
the reach of ordinary reverses, and in this way
to secure to the citizens residing in this S»te the
control of a majority of the stock of the Compa
ny, in reference to the contingencies which may
frequently arise, where trade and commerce are
to be controlled for our benefit. Nor would such
a step be unusual or partial, since the Legisla
ture has not only extended important aid to rail
roads constructed entirely within the State, but
to road* which have been projected beyond its
limits, as in the case of the Charleston, l.ouis
vilie and Cincinnati Railroad; and in the Wil
mington and Manche ter Railroad. The en
dorsement of the bonds of the Blue Ridge Rail
road Company cannot be regarded as a subscrip
tion, for it is totally dissimilar in its character
and far les* beneficial in its operation. In the
one case the State becomes a copartner, and risks
her capital, and awaits the distant returns of di
vidends, in the latter case she simply makes her
self liable as an endorser, and takes the first,
mortgage on the property of the stockholders to
secuie herself against the possibility of loss.
From the Plain*.
The St. Louis Republican, of the 17th inst.,
has the following report from Gov. Stevens’ ex
ploring expedition, furnished to that paper by
Lieut. Saxton, U. S. A., who returned to St.
Louis from Fort Benton the day previous. Lieut.
S. is bearer of despatches from Gov. Stevens.
After the arrival of Gov. Stevens and his par
ty of exploration at Fort Union, of which we
have heretofore given an account, portions of the
goods intended as presents to the Iniians were
distributed to the Assineboines, and they were
greatly pleased. Before that time, Mr. Culbert
son, whose influence over the Indians of that
region is unbounded, had negotiated a treaty of
peace and friendship between the Assineboines
and the Piegans, a branch of the Blackfeet tribe.
These tribes have been at continual war with
each other; but it is the opinion of Mr. Culbert
son that it may be productive of beneficient re
sults, if followed up in a proper and conciliatory
| spirit by the Government. Similar treaties
might be concluded with other tribes; and it is
believed that if the tribes are secured in their
property against the depredations of each other,
the disposition to war upon each other will bs
greatly lessened.
Gov. Steven 3 arrived at Fort Union, from St.
Paul,on the Ist of August. There he remained
iorthe purpose of allowing tome repose to his
party, and to recruit his mules, until the 10th of
the month. He then started for Fort Benton,
accompanied by Mr. Culbertson and Mr. Tevis,
Fort Benton is 375 miles from Fort Union, as as
certained by an odome r er. On the first day out.
and when the camp had been formed, the im
prudent conduct of one of the junior officers of
the eommanJ was near being productive of se
rious consequences. A large party ol Indiana
approached the encampment, within what the
officer conceived to be too near a distance. He
ordered them off in a manner which greatly in
censed them. They resisted the order, and it is
probable that serious difficulties would have fol
lowed, it Mr. Culbertson had not been present.
He interfered to prevent hostilities, and the mat
ter was settled.
At the distance of 125 miles from Fort Union,
the party struck Milk river, which is very inac
curately laid down on all maps hitherto publish
ed, and followed its course, chiefly on the north
bank, for about 180 miles in nearly a due west
direction. The country is mainly prairie, in
terspersed with skirts of timber, and is entirely
practicable for a railroad. Alter crossing Milk
river, finally, they pursued the same westerly
direction to Fort Benton. Between the mouth
ol Milk river and the Fort, two remarkable
mountains are formed; one of them, Little
Rocky, evidently of volcanic origin, and the
other, the Bears Paw, of entirely different for
mation. 1 hese mountains are detached from
each other.
The party arrived at Fort Benton on the Ist
of September. They were supplied with abua
t a nee o game, and the weather was very plea-
SsL°f\h he^ 3d were enter tained at the
village of the Gros Ventress of the prairies in
most lospitable style— l,soo-Indians were pre
sent, anr the party spent a day and a half with
them. They were greatly pleased with the pre
sents of trinkets, ftc., which Gov. Stevens was
prepared to make to them. The Governor caused
his howitzer to be fired,and they were filled with
astonishment at its effects. A war party of the
Biackfeet was also met, on an expedition against
the onake Indians, but Gov. Stevens made a
speech to them, and induced them to abandon
the expedition.
After his arrival at Fort Benton, Gov. Stevens
and Mr. Culbertson started upon a visit to the
Piegans, about 150 miles distance, and in the
British territory; but they were recalled by an
express, announcing the arrival of Lieut. Saxton
and his escort from the Pacific. As we have
already stated, Lieut. Saxton was ordered to
make depots of provisions at St. Mary’s and
other points for Gov. Stevens’s use. He crossed
the Rocky Mountains at what is known as the
Blackleet trail, but as we did not see lam, our
information about his route is very deficient.—
Capt. McClellan, U. S. Army, it was understood,
was engaged in the survey of the Cascade range
of Mountains, and expecting to connect with
Gov. Stevens’s survey.
Lieut. Grover was detached from the main
party, and ordered to examine the Missouri riv
er from tort Benton to Fort Union. Thence he
was ordered to cross the mountains in the win
ter, so as to ascertain the peculiar characteristics
ol the country at this season. It is a perilous
trip, and if be succeeds will be full of incident.
Mr. i revis and one or two of his friends visit
ed the Falls of the Missouri, distant thirty miles
from Fort Benton. The Falls present a splendid
appearance. At this point the river is about
four hundred yards wide—the fall is about forty
feet, into an apparently bottomless chasm. Long
before you reach it, the spray is seen from the
prairie, ascending to the skies; and the moun
tains in the distance, on every side, give the
whole scene a most magnificent appearance.—
Very few white men have ever visited these
Falls; but the time will come when they will
become objects of curiosity, and thousands will
find their way to them.
It may be gratifying to the friends of Governor
Stevens s party to know that they are, without ,
exception, in the enjoyment of excellent health.
The detachment of dragoon*, with Lieutenant i
Saxton, came down on the same boat and pro- (
ceeded to Jefferson Barracks.
The deposit of provisions made at St. Mary’s, \
a point about two hundred miles west of Fort
Benton, and on the west side of the mountains.
It is the site of a missionary station established
some years ago by Father De Smith, but from
I which the missionaries were expelled by the
i hostility ot the Indians. Governor Stevens and
his party would follow the same route to the
Columbia or Fort Vancouver, that Lieut. Saxton
had oome. Lieut. Saxton reports the pass through
the mountains, by which he came, as being by
barometical observation, nearly 2,000 feet lower
than the South Pass.
The Reception of John Mitchel in New-
York.
The arrival of John Mitchel, the Irish exile,
at New York, accompanied by his wife and six
children, on Tuesday, created the greatest enthu
siasm among his friends. The Tribune of yes
terday says :
As the steamer Prometheus came up the river
she was boarded by Messrs. Meagher and Wil
liam Mitchel, the brother ot the patriot. The
meeting between these friends in sorrow and
persecution was affecting in the extreme. Tears
of joy were shed on both sides. On nearing the
wharf, the news of the arrival spread like wild
fire, and ships and piers were literary swarming
with the immense throng who crowded to give
him a freeman’s welcome. A number of guns
were discharged in honor of the occasion, and
cheer upon cheer resouuded.
The liver was alive with boats, in which wpre
many triends of Mr. Mitchel. As fast as one
boat's load clambered on board the steamship,
they were followed by another, until at length
the decks of the Prometheus were covered with
one dense mass of human beings After an im
mense amount of congratulation, the party were
smuggled ashore in carriages that were in readi
ness. The vehicles drove off at a rapid pace to
wards the Hamilton Ferry, amid the roars of ar
tillery and the shouts of the populace; they were
attended by an immense throng of persons, who
ran after the carriage, eager to get a glance at
the patriot. The ferry-boat was crowded to ex
cess, and on its arrival at the Brooklyn side, it
was received by a still larger crowd of welcom
es. Mr. Michell and his family, together with
his friends, were cheered in the most enthusias
tic manner, and the carriage which bore them
were followed by the throng.
After bowing to the people, Mr. Mitchel or
dered the driver to proceed to the residence of
his mother. His way thither was like the march
of a conqueror, and so enthusiastic were his
friends that they were almost ready to take him
from the vehicle, and carry him upon their shoul
ders. The carnage stopped at the corner of
Union and Hicks streets, at the residence of Mr.
Mitchel’* mother, brother and sister. The re
uniting of this long separated family can be im
-1 agined, but its details were too sacred for de
■ scription.
During the afternoon Mr. JVfitchel was ;wait
ed upon at his residence by a large number of
bis personal friends, who came to tender him
their welcomes and congratulations. AH thro’
the evening bis house was surrounded by a dense
throng of persons desirous of obtaining a sight
or a grasp of the hand of the patriot. About 10
o’clock Mr. Mitchel was serenaded by a large
number of the citizen soldiery and Alanahan’s
band.
Mr. Mitchel was loudly called for, and on his
appearance at the open window was received
with deafening cheers and many hearty ex
pressions of Irish esteem and affection. He
said:
Gentlemen, Irishmen, Citizens, Soldiers of
America : —I am unable to begin to express my
gratitude and delight at this manifestation of
your good will. For many a long day I have
pined to set my foot on the shores of America.
The banner that the New York Militia Regi
ments have undertaken to guard, is a glorious
banner, and I hope the Irishmen who serve un
der it will forever defend it to the death.—
[Cheers.] I know, indeed, that Irishmen who
enlist in the American army will be true, as
they ever have proved themselves to their adop
ted land, and that when they have an occasion
they will carry their banner deep into the ranks
of the enemv. [Cheers.]
I will !~&y nothing about Ireland on this occa
sion, although God knows I feel much to-night;
but, as I see Irish armed men arrayed in glitter
ing phalanx before me, I cannot help remem
bering the words of Sarsfield on the Plains of
Loudon, when he exclaimed, “ O, God, that this
were for Ireland.” [Loud cheers.[ I will ask
you to excuse me to-night from further speaking
as I have but just arrived from a long and fa
tiguing journey. But I hope to have a speedy
opportunity of addressing my countrymen and
Americans in the city of New York at greater
length. Indeed, I should be very sorry if I did
not have that occasion afforded me. With most
heartfelt thanks I take my leave of you to-night.
[Loud and prolonged cheering.]
Loud calls vveie then made for Mr. Smyth,
who aided in Mitchel's escape. That gentle
man came forward, and when the cheering had
in a measure subsided, he made a few appropri
ate remarks.
Mr. Meagher and others were then called for,
but not being present, after some more cheering
and several other fine airs from the band, the
party returned.
The Vine in Georgia.
Etowah, Ga., Nov. 25th, 1803.
To the Editor of the Southerner :—A very
favorable opportunity is now presented the land
holders of Georgia from Atlanta to Rome and to
Chattanooga, to develope a new property of
their Soil, and a source of individual and na
tional wealth. It has long been thought that
this country possessed the soil and climate pe
culiarly adapted to the growth and maturity of
the vine and the product of wine, of a superior
quality.
Mr. Charles Axt from the wine district of the
Rhine in Germany, an intelligent, practical
farmer,and vine dresser, is now offering on the
fairest terms to introduce this subject. For a
very reasonable compensation, he will superin
tend the laying out vineyards and direct the cul
ture of the vine and manufacture the Wine. He
engages to produce 250 gallons of wine the third
year from each quarter cf an acre of land. He
only needs the encouragement of those who own
the land and can command the labor. Mr. Axt
has carefully compared the advantages of the va
rious wine districts of the United States and
Europe, and his opinion is that this part of
Georgia is the appropriate one.
But a few years ago, say twenty at the most,
this subject received atter.tio* in the vicinity of
Cincinnati Ohio, up to this date, the largest for
tunes has been made, fortunes, far surpassing any
example in the cotton and Sugar regions. Mr.
Longworth is said to be now worth two mil
lions of dollars, the result of his enterprise in the
matter. Mr. Axt is of opinion that a Vineyard
of ten acres in Cats or Floyd or Gordon or
Whitfield counties properly managed may be
made to produce an annual revenue of twenty
thousand dollars, and that it may last one hun
dred years.
I trust that the friends of Temperance will
no„ be startled at my suggestion, for I am one of
them, and have been for thirty years. lam
willing to promote the cause by all means, and
when every other p!an shall fail, I am willing
to do it by the vineyard.
Mr. Axt has for a year or two been engaged
ut-iP aiuln S as -d raising vines, for farmers in
Wilkes county, and has every where given sat
isfaction.
Respectfully,
, ... ... . Mark A CoofKß.
Any letters desiring information on the above
subject, will be received and answered by Mr.
Axt, if addressed to this office.
The New York Mercantile Journal of Satur
day, says:
“A large cotton receiver, doing business at
Macon, Georgia, and 47 Wall-street, failed early
last week. The piincipal sufferers will be the
banks of Savannah and Augusta, both in Geor
gia. He speculated largely in stocks in this
market He was a large buyer and holder of
Camberland Coal stock, forming one of a party
to push that stock up; but his failure has spoiled
the attempt for the present.”
Gen. D. E. Twiggs.— On the arrival of Gen.
Twiggs at Fort Smith, the Mayor and Council
addressed him a highly complimentary letter,
inviting him to a public dinner. He replied
courteously, returning them his thanks for the
honor they proposed, but declined, on the ground
that his time is not at his own disposal. The i ,
instructions of the Government, he says, may
require him to proceed at any moment to the In
dian country, and he is also in urgent haste to
repair eastward on business of pressing impor
tance.— N. O. Pit., 26</i.
AUGUSTA, GA. 1
SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4. j
-Murder and Suicide. —The Memphis Eagle
•ta is that a few days ago, as the steamer Naomi
wa on her way down from New Orleans, Mr. 1
Bel her mate, was stabbed to the heart by a
dec hand, and died instantly. The murderer
immediately jumped overboard, and was drown
ed.
From Washington Territory we have a re
port that gold has been discovered by Captain
McClelland’s surveying party on the banks of
the Yenass, and that persons engaged in digging
were making from three to six dollars per day.
Pacific and Oriental Steam Navigation
Compant.—A company has been organized at
San Francisco, under this title, to put a line of 5
first class steamers between that port, via Sand
wich Islands, and China, just as soon as Con
gress shall enter into a contract with them for
the transportation of the mails. The capital
stock, it is said, is $10,000,000, all of which is
ready the moment the contract is obtained.—
Mayor Garrison, of San Francisco, is president
of ihe company.
Virginia Gold. —The Richmond Times noti
ces two specimens of gold from the State Hilj
and Walnut Grove Gold Mines. They were ap
parently of the very finest quality, amounting to
about $3,000. They were in the hands of Mr.
Seldles, the agent ol the companies, who was ta
king them North for coinage.
Col. John W. Forney.— The Philadelphia
Ledger of, Wednesday says:—Col. Forney,it is be
lieved by well informed sources at Washington,
will be re-elected Clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives in Congress. Judging from the com
plimentary notice of Col. F. in the newspapers
of this State, his election will be generally satis
factory to all parties. The assaults made upon
him recently from personal motives, in one of
the N. York newspapers, have rallied his friends
around him, and he will receive their most
strenuous support. His ability to discharge the
duties of the office we believe is unquestionable.
Tehuantepec Route. —lt is said the prelim
inary contracts made by the Tehuantepec Com
pany, of which, Col. Sloo is President, have
been definitely settled; that satisfactory adjust
ments have been effected with the Mexican
Bankers who made the advances to the Mexican
Government required by the grants; and that
all difficulties being removed, the work will be
commenced without delay, and pressed vigorous
ly to completion.
The Fishery Difficulty Settled.
lon, of the Baltimore Sun, says the Treaty
with England, in respect to the Fisheries and
Reciprocity, has been agreed upon by Mr. Marcy
and Mr. Crampton. The project was sent to
England in October last, and the approval of the
British government is expected.
The treaty is of the most liberal and satisfac
tory character. It condeces to the British col
onies all that they desire, in return for the abso
lute freedom ol the Fisheries to the United
States. It gives a registry to colonial vessels,
and admits them fully to our coasting trade. It
provide also for the free interchange of all agri
cultural products, and the free admission of our
agricultural implements into the collonies.
It is believed that all difficulties are overcome.
The prejudice ot our protectives against the Re
gistry, and the grant of the coasting trade to Co
lonial vessels, was the chief obstacle. But the
time has come for the enlargement of our corn
rneicial system. There is no reason why navi
gation and commerce should not be as free be
tween the United States and the British Colo
nies, as between New York and Pennsylvania.
Give us free trade, although this commercial con
nection may bring about a political connection^
Pacific Railroad.— The Texas Legislature
* 8 iff session, and a letter from San Antonio says
that the road to the Pacific will be built, if it
takes the fifty millions of acres ©f land which
the State owns to do it. Four companies are at
Austin bidding for the charter to build a road to
El Paso, and one will be granted this winter.—
From El Paso to San Diego is only 750 miles.
The Charleston Courier of the 3d inst. says:
“ All our readers will doubtless be gratified to
perceive, that in the Senate on Thursday, Mr.
Porter, of this city, offered the following resolu
tion, which the Legislature cannot do otherwise
than adopt by acclamation •
Unsolved, 1 hat His Cxcellency‘the Governor
be requested to procure a sword, or some other
suitable testimonial, and present the same to
Captain Duncan N. Ingraham, of the United
States Navy, as a testimonial from his native
State for his gallant and meritorious conduct on
board the sloop-oi-war St. Louis in the bay of
Smyrna J?
An old lady died recently in Newburyport,
Mass., who was a belle in her youth, and re

Murder.— We learn by a private letter, that
an awful murder was committed about twelve
miles from Atlanta, at a town called Fairburn,
on the night of the 23th ult. A physician was
found dead at the door of his office, with his
throat cut and his skull fractured. No clue by
which to detect the murderer was discovered.

New York, Nov. 30.—The Capture of Shang
hai.—Letters received here by merchants and
others,from Shanghai, China, state that large
numbers of Coolies and others were joining the,
insurgents, who had held possession one week
and that there were no prospects whatever olthe
Imperialist regaining power. The city was
seized at night, the customhouse sacked, and
only one person killed in the conflict. The
rebels state that their object is to establish a new
dynasty. Guards had been ordered out to repel
any attack upon foreign houses or strangers, and
to subdue riots in the city, which were appre
hended. Business had been almost entirely sus
pended, and many of the residents had fled.

[Correspondence of the Const. & Republic. [ s
Milledgeville, Dec. 1, 1853. z
Mr. Editor: —The great question of the day «
has been the removal of the seat of government. 1
At an early hour this morning the Kepresenta- 1
tive chamber became densely filled with an anx- 1
ious crowd of spectators. The crowd will have I
to endure their anxiety tor a while longer, as the
final result is still enveloped in doubt. The ad
vocates of Macon, Milledgeville and Atlanta,
both in and out ol the House are straining every i
nerve to secure their favorite measures. The ;
whole discussion, you will perceive from the pro
ceedings of the House, turned upon the amend
ment proposed by Mr. Strother, of Lincoln, to
refer the question to the people, and the motion
of Mr. Speaker Ward, to refer the original bill
and amendments to the Finance Committee. I
will here remark, that as the bill was one in
volving appropriations, the House was in com
mittee. Dr. Phillips in the Chair.
The speech of Mr. Hardeman in vindication of
Macon, was delivered with warmth and energy.
None could fail to admire the manner in which
he spoke of the pleasant associations of Milledge
ville, the hospitality of her citizens, and the ties
by which he ieit endeared to her and her people.
But when he turned to Macon, his own home,
he then manifested all his strength. It was a
theme calculated to call forth his powers. How
ever strong might be his affections for other
towns, for other sections, yet for home his love
was greater. His was then the spirit of the po
et, who exclaimed—
“ Sweet clime of my kindred, blest land of my birth!
Tho fairest, the dearest, the brightest on earth '
Where'er I may roam—howe'er blest I may be,
My spirit instinctively turns uuto thee !”
Mr. Hardeman speaks as if he felt, what he
said, and is unquestionably one of the most im
pressive speakers on the Whig side of the House.
His hopes, however, in the present case, I be
lieve, are doomed to disappointment. The sub
ject for the present is in the hands of the Finance
Committee, who will make the calculations as
to the cost of removal, and report the same to
the House. It is generally understood, that a
majority of the committee are opposed to the re
moval. Should the question be left to the deci
sion of the people, Mr. Hardeman will find that
the cry of taxation, like the ghost of Banquo, as
he termed it to-day, will haunt them as well as
the Legislature, and that like the ghost of Ban
quo, too, it will not down at his bidding.
When Mr. Ward arose and moved a reference
of the subject to the Committee on Finance, the
whole assemblage became perfectly still in ex
pectation, tha he would favor the House with a
speech. But he merely remarked, that he was
in favor of a final decision of the question at the
present session, and that the ability of the State
to meet the expenses of a removal would, in a
great part, control his vote.
Mr. Latham, in opposition to the motion of
Mr. Ward, made a powerful appeal to State pride
in favor of a removal, and the erection ot a
State House that would be worthy of the Em
pire State of the South. I believe it is generally
understood, that Mr. Latham, when the question
comes up to select the place as the future capi
tal, if it ever should, will declare himself in fa
vor of Atlanta.
The Governor’s levee will come off on Tues
day evening next. A large crowd of strangers
is expected to be present, and the Hotels are en
deavoring to make the necessary accommoda
tions. Inasmuch as many members of the Le
gislature, and others here in attendance upon its
sittings, are now provided with rooms at private
houses, it cannot reasonably be supposed that ac
commodations w ill be so meagre as during the
first week of the session.
The committee appointed by the “ Teachers
1 Association,” reported to-night in favor of the
j establishment of a “ Board of Education,” to be
i composed of the Governor, and one member from
; each Judicial circuit. The members of the Board
i are to hold their offices for— number of years,
i examine and digest different systems of educa
> tion, and are expected to present some plan to
■ the next Legislature. They are to have a Sec
retary, who is to travel from county to county,
. as far as possible,collect information on the sub
j ject of education, deliver addresses on the same,
and make reports to the Board. The Associa
. tion will present a memorial, in favor of their
« plan, to the Legislature, and ask for an appro
priation to carry their object into effect.
r The House was engaged during the entire af
r ternoon session in the discussion of a bill to form
> a new county out of Stewart.
j HOUSE.
5 A bill for the removal of the Seat of Govern
s ment to Macon, which had been previously re
ferred to a committee, the committee having
t struck out the word Macon, was taken up and
read.
Mr. Hardeman offered as a substitute, a bill
for the removal of the Seat of Government, and
j providing that in ten days after the passage of
the bill, the Legislature should assemble and se
• lect by ballot the future capital of the State !
* Mr. Strother offered, as an amendment to the
substitute, his bill referring the question to the
people. Mr. Strother contended that in a meas
ure which involved such a large amount oftaxa
i tion, the legislature ought not to decide until the
will of the people was ascertained.
Mr. Smith, of DeKalb, said that he for one
should vote against the bill of Mr. Strother, that
the question had been brought fully to the at
tention of the people; that the Governor in his
Message had justly remarked, that the subject
required an early and final settlement, and that
he should not vote to delay it longer.
Mr. Reynolds, of Newton, fully coincided with
the gentleman from Lincoln.
Mr. Hardeman, of Bibb, regarded this substi
tute as a shrinking from the responsibility impos
ed upon members. Was the cry of taxation, he
asked, like the ghost of Banquo to haunt us
eternally. He disclaimed any feelings of hos
tility to Milledgeville or her citizens ; there
were associations connected with the place
which he would always recollect with lively
emotions of gratitude; he was not afraid to
meet the question and abide the decision of his
constituents upon his conduct.
Mr. Ward moved that the committee rise, and
report that the original bills and amendments be
referred to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. Latham, of Campbell, opposed the motion
in a long speech, eulogistic of Georgia and her
citizens, oi their ability to pay the necessary
taxes, and their willingness to do so; of the ne-
cessity of meeting this question face to face, and
ot erecting a State House worthy of the position
of Georgia in this confederacy of States,
Mr. Trice, of Pike, took the ground that the
faith ot the State was plighted to the people of
Milledgeviile ; that it was a solemn enactment
formed by our fathers, and that he for one would
never reverse it. He said that if all the people
of Pike county were to demand a removal, he
would resign his seat and go home before he
would vote for a measure which he believed to
be violative of the faith of the State. Mr. Trice
also remarked, while upon the floor, that selfish
feelings were mingled with this question ; that
he had heard it said that members would not vote
ior r. icmoval if Macon was not selected.
Th s remark again drew oHt Mr. Hardeman,
of bibb. He proceeded to speak first in vindi- i
cation of Macon; he spurned the imputation of i
selfishness; he said that Macon had once made i
an offer to the State, that offer had been reject- l
ed; he was not prepared to renew it; that he, j
himseL, in committee, had moved to strike out |
the word Macon from the bill; he did notin- !
tend to pronounce an encomium upon Macon ;
there she stood to speak for herself, an ornament
to the State, and an honor to her citizens. He
then proceeded to allude to the necessity of a re
moval ; spoke of the State House as an old rook
ery which $75,000 would more than replace;
•aid that the commercial importance of Mil
ledgeville was not sufficient to meet the re
quirements of £he Legislature; he contended
that one dollar per voter would in a few years
more than meet the highest estimate of the ex
penses of a removal; that neither Macon, nor
Atlanta, nor Milledgeville, nor any other place,
had any claims to be the seat of government;
that Georgia had a bright and glorious future be
fore her, and that her Legislature ought to pro
vide a capital of which she might be proud.
The vote was then taken on Mr. Ward’s mo
tion which was sustained. So the subject of the
removal of the seat of government is at present
in the hands of the Finance Committee.
SENATE.
On motion, the bill to change the time of the
meeting of the Legislature from the first Mon
day to first W ednesday in November, was re
considered.

it is proper the sentiments of the Senate should
be made known on the petition recently pre
sented on the subject of temperance, and there
fore, that the Senate declare that the petition
cannot be granted on the ground that this peti
tion is inconsistent with individual rights, impo
litic and injurious so the temperance cause.
Mr. Cannon, ol Cass: a bill to amend the pre
sent tax act, so as to allow persons giving in
their taxes to deduct the amount of their indebt
edness.

of Rheumatism of twenty years'stand
ing—Never in ray life have I had so much pleasure
in doing any thing as in giving this certificate to
the world, and I hope it may be the cause of thou
j sands of my fellow creatures being relieved from
that dreadful disease, Piheumalism. My wife has
been afflicted with it for twenty years, most of the
time suffering excruciating pains in every part
•f her body. Having no appetite whatever, she
was reduced to almost a skeleton. So violent were 1
the pains that she seldom could sleep witnout tak
ing largo doses of opium. Every joint was swellct;
very much, and her knees, hanis and neckcovere.;
with largo lumps. She could do no kind of wori
the sinews and musc-les being so hard and contort
ed that her limbs were drawn together, go thatsirt
was obigod to be in bed constantly. In this « a
tion she had been lor twenty years, wi.hott * T er
getting any relief from every thing she used, ’until
she commenced the use of H. G. Farrell's Arabian
Liniment, tho first bottle of which produo'j a great
change She has now used five bottle, and tie
swelling have nearly all gone down; pain has en
tirely left her; she sleeps well and soundly; is
more fleshy than evor she was in her life; has an
exceUent appetite, and spins and sews all day. By
the use of a few bottles more shr- mus be as well as
ever she was. If any one uioubts this wondertnl
cure, he has only to oall at my residence, near Pe
oria, and learn the oUeurustunces from my wife s
own lips, or he can further enquire of any of my
neighbors. Sa.wl'ei. Elson.
H. G. Farrell's Liniment is also an excellent rem
edy for palsy, sprains, bruises, cramps, chilblain-,
burns, pains; toothache, sore eyes, etc., and in
horses or cattle is tho best remedy in tho world
where an external application is required.
