Mr. Kiill’s Remarks at ih* WefaterFesfiva'*
At tlie dinner recently giv. ti to Mr. Webster at
Savannah, Dr Richard D. Arnold, one of the Y r i-*e
Pres dents on the occasion, after some very appropriate
coinpliine itary remarks, offered flic following toast
Our Guest, the llm. Tumhus But f sr King. — The
friend and efficient advocate of our Naval and Com
mercial Marine,and Ocean Steam Navigation. “Hon
or to whom honor is due.”
Mr. King responded as follows:
Mr President and Gentlemen: —For the senti
ment complimentary to myself, winch htis just been
given, and tor tire manner in which it has been given
and receive 1, I lcg yuu to accept my sincere and grate
fill thanks. If any thing I have done in the discharge
of my CongrcKooiml duties shall be considered, or found
to be, beneficial to any or all the great int .‘rests of our
country, my aim will have been attained. Your ap
preciation, so eloquently nnd beautifully expressed, I
had not ventured to hope tor. I trust, however, that
the measures to which allusion has been made, will b
found in their operation to meet all your expectations,
and that we shall ffod in them, not only the means ot
pn motiiig our commercial and siiciiil intercourse in
time of peace, but thut th**y will afford us tire most ef
ficient means of defence and offence m tune of war.—
A-* one of these measures wis brought forward, prin
cipally in consequence of the information and advice
received from yo i> Jutting fished g.rest,(Mr. Wkmtsr)
then Secretary of State, Dreg leave to state some of the
c rcumatanccsconnected with it. At that time, Hll,
I there was no law mill turning tlreemploymetit of any
portion of the Navy on our coast. We had one Squad
ron on the coast of Brazil, one m tire Pacific, and one
in th'* Chinn Seas. No ships w r** kept or authorized
by law to be k. pt in commission at home.
We hid not so much as a coat guard tn warn us
of t ie upptoach of an enemy, or to op/mse Ins descent
on any fmrtion of our coast (iur iliiHc dues with
Great Britain had iiMMiiiied a most threatening import,
I much more than the people of cither country aapposrd.
Information c mfi lentialy com nu i:c iteJ by the then
i Secretary of State enabled me to see the peril we of
the South especially wer * in, nnd 1 immediately brought
forward tlie meusure, which became a law. for the es
tablishment ot a Home Squadron. This Squadron was
designed more especially lor the defence ot the South
ern coast, where it was imm'Jiately ordered, and has
ever since been employed. Tire measure wim denounc-
Jby t.i* AhnUiionistsns one dtsigned for “tire pru*

It wa* known that n large number of black troops
tad been organized, and that extensive war-like props

re event of a war. It was necessary to aseettain the
Ktent ao-I character of tlrese pre|Nirations, that tn is
irt*4 might be devre dto meet them ‘Lina was Van*.
I he ageat returned with the necessary information
md the Government was thus prepared to act in th
most prompt and effective manner.
Gentlemen, as one of your Representatives in Cos.
j gres, it became my duty tu consider how tar ouruav
rcasources might be regarded as adequate to th* protec
tion of our commerce, and. as I muy siy, our nlinoM
utidefeuded and extensive sea coast. It must be ap
parent to every one that the people of the United State
will never sanction the policy of maintaining in time <>
peace those extensive naval armaments nnd powerfu
llects which w.ll be necessary for the protection of ou
| commerce nnd the defence of our coast in time of w?u
1 his would involve un expenditure greater than isnou
required lor the economical administration of our Gov
ernment It became necessary, therefore, to adopt n
system which w II not only support itself and greatly
extend our lo:eig:i ami domestic trade and intercourse,
hut Is* inimedntely convertable into n naval force,suf- 1
licieutly powerful to inert any emergency which may
mis- The successful employment of steam in naval
warfare and in flu* commeicnl marine ot other great
luarntinie powers, ren h ied such u system not only
prod tcahlc but absolutely nee -seriry, to the uiumt ‘tinner
“lour jiusilion in th * commerce of the world. This!
system consists in the employment of steam ships, so
c instructed as to render them in all respects suitable
fr naval warfare, in the transportation of the mail,
passengers and freight in our foreign and domestic trade
I—nnd 1 —nnd this syst. m, 1 am happy to state, has, by the
measuies of the last Fdigress been adopted. \Ve are
to have one line of steamers between New York and
1 Bremen, consisting of five sh ps of about eight hundred
i tons burthen, each ();ie line between New York and
Liverpool ol five ships of about three thousand tons
each. One line between New York and New Orleans
of four ships, of not less than fifteen hundred tons each.
O ie ship ol one thousand tons, to run twice a month
between ilnvanna and Chagres, and two large steam
ers on th’ Pacific, to run from Panama to Oregon,
touching ut intermediate ports Thus we shall have
eighteen steamers, superior on an average for power
and speed, to any the world has ever seen employed in
commerce, and capable of forming a powerful fleet in
the event of war.
1 have, for some y # *Hrs past, regarded a t'*nni navy
as of the utmost importance to our whole country, and
alrsolutely necessary to the protection of our Southern’
coast, and hence my efforts to procure its establishment,
j 1 beg leave to mention a circumstance which shows in I
j a most tavornliie light, the lioernl feelings and views of
; Noithem and Western members of Congress towards
| the South.
When the measure for the establishment of these
lines of st eu.iers was brought foiwnrd, it was ?mt doubt-!
ed that the amount which flic Government will receive j
foi postages from those to Europe will rep -y the amount
to be g ven to the contractors ; but it w is urged tint >is !
I the mail is now carried by land between N w York
and New Orleans every day, that the transportation !
“fit once a week by w.terwoukl not reimburse the
amount—s*29o,oo —-equired to put it in operation.—
But when they were assured th it this hne was required
lor the promotion ot Southern commerce and inter
course, their objections were at once withdrawn, and
the measure passed both il <uses almost without a dis
■ anting voice When I entered Congress there was not
a smgie * cyan steamer belonging to the Navy. When
| the measures which have since been adopted, shall be
j carried into effect, we shall have a fleet of five and
J twenty w*ar steamers. Possessing superior speed to any
| in the world, and thus capable of meeting a foe on their
| own terms, tins w ill, of itself, he a force almost, it not
j quite, sufficient to secure our sea coaSt from the inva
sion of an enemy.
I beg leav<* t > say a few words with respect to the
progress of our internal improvements, and the prospect?
of Savannah. At a very great cost the Central Railroad
1 has leen constructed to the city of Macon, where it is
met by other lines of Railroad, extending, or which
i w ill soon extend, to the Tennessee river. From thence
communications by Railroads will soon be extended
to Knoxville. Nashville and to the great North-west,
communicating with the Lakes, the middle and upper ;
portion of the V'alley of the Mississippi. From Macon
we shall go to Pensacola, the great naval station and
the best port on the Gulf of Mexico. About ten yeai
ago. this gigantic system of inland communication was
commenced—a lew- years more of persevering eflbr
w.ll suffice to complete it. In iny opinion, no man ha.~
yet formed an ad* quite idea or conception of the rc
i suits to this city, which are to follow They may safe
ly be compared to those which were felt by the com
merce of New York on the completion of the Erie Ca
nal. They will, in my opinion, be vastly greater
Some things must be done to render these results avail
able. Your harbor must be so improved ns to admit
sh ps of die largest ciass to pass to your w harves w.th !
lacdity. As commerce increases,ships of greater ton
nage will be employed. A tew years ago it was not
| common to see an Americ in meichnnt ship of more
| thrin six or seven hundred tons. Now th-*y are build
in? them ot two thousand, an 1 it will not be long ere
1 w s e them ol three thousand tons burthen. Swan- ‘
nah possesses the on J y harbor in the Stuthrrn States |
into which ships of this description can enter. Ail I
that is req died is to tak** away tile obstructions to their
approach to the cty You also require a naval estab
lishment to he connected w.th that at Pensacola by
R idroad for the protection of ou c unmerce in the Gull
and on the Atlantic, and to prot< ct our extensive un
fo tifie I const from invasion from the British establish- !
ment of n similar kind, almost on our borders, in tli*
West In lies. Th so objects .t is the duty of your rep
resentatives ill Congress to attend to.
In conclusion. Mr President and gentlemen, permit ,
ine to offer you this sentiment:
T’ie Prosperity o f Savannah —lt will be commen

Superior Court, May Term, 1847.
Presentments of Paunel No. 1.
WE, the Grand Jurors, Paunel No. 1, tor the county
ot Bibb, May Term, 1847. beg leave to make n
.*w brief general presentments. We h ive endeavored
u> embrace in our two weeks’ labors all the su.rjeetsso
•oiciUy presented to our consideration, in the very ap
propriate nnd lac> I charge ol his Hono:. Ju Ige Floyd.
The subject of Public Education was dwelt upon by
iis Honor with p *cuhar interest and fervor, and it is a
•ource of unfoigned gratification to the Jury, to be able
. report this county o< well provided for on this subject,
i to make it unnecessary to 1 *vy n further tax the pres
ent year. The Poor School Fund now in the hands of
di Treasurer, nmountatoten hundred and eighty-seven
lollars and eighteen cents, and m the course ol the year
will tie increased to iilnjui fouiteeu hundred doitars, (by
ceipts from the Btite,) which is thought amply sufli
cfont, by the very wo thy Treasurer of said fund, for
ins nil iniportnni and benevolent object. Near four
hundred children ure reported in this county, as entitled
to its benefit.
We hive examined the hooks of the Receiver of
Tax Returns,mi l report them creditable to that officer:
we recommend to him. however, to compel all persons
riving in Land, to furnish the numbers of the lot .and
district, as without them, the tax cannot he made out of
the property.
We allow the Tax Collector, n* his insolvent list,
eight hundred and twenty-six dollars and n nety-three
cents. We respectfully suggest to lh* Inferior Court,
tot.ik • charge of these executions, and cause as many
of them to he collected ns possible ; and for the future,
that n list of all delimiters be sum shed the Managers
ol Elections, and that no one be allowed to vote who
Ins not pai l his taxes. From the high character ol our
Inferior Court, we trust tins statute will no longer be a
•lead letter, but will be strictly enforced.
The high character that has been so uniformly ac
corded to the Clerks o* th.* Superior and Inferior Courts,
.or ih** methodic and arrangement of their papers nnd the
neatness of their books, is fully sustained by our exam
inations.
I he Jail so neat nnd cl?an, and in good repair—ex-
cept the fonce. which needs prompt attention.
The Court House is found to he in bad con iition, nnd
unless promptly repaired. Widbc itnU*.. illy damn god.—
li tile means oi the c mty are insufficient loi the im
mediate repairs of the public buildings, we recommend
to (he Interior Couit to levy such extra tax us will cover
such expense.
The several Roads leading to the city arc in bad con
lition. The Bridge ut Bally’s mill is unsafe,and should
he rebuilt
Many biffs have been preferred against parties vio
lating the law loi biding trie sidling id spuitous liquors
to slaves . but so long us the witnesses most c >guuant
to the fucts in these cases, have such elastic c -n deuces,
swearing, it not falsely, knowingly and will!illy evasive,
very lew can ht* convicted.
l i taking ieave ot h.s honor, Ju Ige Floyd, we sin
e-rely tha k him for his prompt uud eaerget c m inner
<>| ds.moing.d the lunm -s ol the Court, nnd his frank
aid court- ous inteicmrse w th tins t>ody
We tender our heaity thinks to Mr. McCone, the
Solicitor General, for the prompt nnd i npaitml d.s
eh irg *of Ins duties,and sos oltic.ai and p s uial attun
tions to is.
