Apodal ( orrespondeiiec. MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 27th, 1847. Gentlemen. — ln the Senate, Mr. Williamson mov ed to agree to the report of the committee on the State of the Republic in relation to the “Wilmot Proviso.”— Mr. Unnagan moved an amendment by striking out the following words after the word ‘'Proviso.” “We ab stain from any utterance on that subject at this time, for the reason that we may not all agree” and by in •erting the following words in lieu thereof, to wit:— “For if there is no territory acquired, there is nothing to contend about, and if the war is unjust, we ought not to insist upon the acquisition of Territory, but believing in the justice of the war lamentable as it may be, it is preferable to an unjust and dishonorable peae.* —and that as by the act of the Republic of Mexico, a state of war exist a between that Government and the United States, this Republic is not responsible for its comae, quences, and nought to lie prosecuted with the utmost vigor until that Government shall agree to pay all de mands due to. our Government, on account of spolia tions done to our citizens, as well as a just indemnity for the expenses incurred by this Government in th e prosecution of the war, which that Government has forced upon us and it she be unable to do so in money the United States should insist upon her ceding territo ry sufficient in value to satisfy so just and reasonable demands.” The Honorable Gentleman then addressed the “Sin <ite” on the “ subject ” of his proposed amendment.— Luring his remarks he enditored to make it appear that ihe w hig presses and Whig speakers by comment ing on th** course adopted by Mr. Polk in bringing on the war and the manner in which it hus been managed had a debverious effect, because it strengthened the en emy , and m proof of his assertions, lie remarked tha 1 he had heard it said “when Santy Anny was taken prisoner, Tam Corwin's speech was found ui his trunk Whether Santa Anna had a copy of Mr. Curwui’s speech or not, 1 will not pretend to determine* but there is one thing certain, lie did have Mr. Polk’s passport to hank him through the blockade at Vera Cruz; tuid it is fair and just to consider that that was a greater demonstration of “aid and comfort” than Mr. Corwin’s Speech could possibly be ! Mr. Forutan next addressed the Senate at great length, he abused Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster and the yan keea indiscriminately, and insisted upon the amend ment. He was replied to by Mr. Terrell who ably deiended the whig party. Messrs Chastain and Glenn both ad dieased the Senate, but their reinaiks possessed but lit tle originality as their “illustrious predecessor” Mr Dana gun, had completely “exhausted the subject.”- Mr Chastain was exceedingly violent upon Messrs Clay and Webster and 1 have but little doubt that if his re marks should ever reach the eyes or ears of those gen tlemen they will forever abandon public life. He un questionably slaughtered them both politically ami rich ly entitled himself to the appellation of the“a6 le Senator from Gilmore" —a title if 1 mistake not, bestowed upon him by the aforesaid Smator from Hall. Mr. Glenn was less violent than Mr. Chastain, probably because of • Feliiig of delicacy in regard to the abuse of lus an hem idols. He was not long since, if 1 mistake not,a zealous whig. It was rather singular that these gentle men while abusing certain wings should have forgotten entirely “the Sage of Lmdetiwald” and the “unfaithful Joan.” It is still more remarkable tiuit they did not even allude to the lucl that the Athens Banner was recently shrouded m mourning for the death of Silas W right, the very Heelz* bub of the YV'iliuot gang ! These tilings are strange indeed, but they ure not less strange than true. Mr Cfiastain was ably rescinded to by Gen. Wil liamson m a brief but pointed speech—one w hich fully i sustained liin reputation with the Whigs. Alter Mr. Glenn concluded, Mr. Lawton made a few remarks when the Henate adjourned to Monduy with out taking the question. The House consumed nearly the entire morning in reading bills the second time. Your’s, 8. MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov 29th, 1847 Gentlemen. — ln the Senate, Mr. Watters intro* dmvii a bill to prohibit Commissi'*n Merchants in Sa* vnnttuh, Macon and nil otner citun, towns and villa g’ * m tins {State from deducting upon Sqiiuie bags of ®otton, and to define und iiiukc uniform the rate of commission. 1 bis bill proposes to prohibit commission merchants bom charging more than 25 cents coinniuwion on each bsg l cotton sold. Should this hill pass, the ti’ Xt move wi prohubly be in favor of n law compelling the mercfi 'U to pay the planters at least ten cents per pound for their cotton. Ihe consideration of Mr Dunngan's resolutions was kilned. Mr. Dunagnn lead off in a speech pretty much in the Mine style ns that of last Hiturday, embracing the war. l Wdniot Proviso, the acquisition of territory, and ‘ailing upon Whig Senators to define their position. Mr Wales made an able speech lie declared that the subject of slavery was one winch no Houthern ,l,# n should discus*. The amendnu nt offered by the gemln,mn from Hnll, was a declaration of the justice ° “ >r * titd n| * acknow ledgement of its constito* Natality, lie would oppose ihe amendment. He brief ly recounted over the tarts connected w ith the causes *hi‘ ~le d to the war and Condemned the IVfedeut for the course he had pursued, 4kc. Mr. Hum next addressed the Henate in a long, tedi- ous, Uiesome speech in defence of Mr. Poik, and g.ving him credit for allowing Banta Anna to pass the block ade off Vera Crur. He boldly asserted that the annex ation of Texas was the cause of the war, but that it was not n sufficient cause on the part of Mexico td fcom menCC hostilities. Ho was followed by Mr. Moore—whose frank and impressive manner, and whose clear common scum.* arguments, made a fine impression. He showed pret ty clearly that the “war was brought on by Mr. Polk, who, acting us he did, had violated the expressed pro visions ol the Constitution and trampled it under his bet.’ He, for one, would not support Mr. Dunagan’s amendment. Gentlemen were continually charging tht YY lugs of the North with being almost the exclusive udvocatea of the Wilmot proviso, lie had very little confidence in ei'her the Whigs or Democrats of the Noith upon this subject. Bur there is a difference be tween the parties at the North, on the subject ol the ac quisition of territory as connected with the Wilmot pro viso. The Democratic party of the North were the ex clusive advocates of the acquisition of territory, and the adoption of the YY ilmot proviso, vvhiht the YY’higs were opposed to the acquisition of any more territory, but if territory was acquired, they ftl common with the North ern Democrats, would insist upon the adoption of the proviso—consequently the Whigs of the North were j better friends to the South, than Northern Democrats I were. Mr. Barclay next occupied the floor. His speech was very short—a sort of oratorical break dow n—vul garly known as a failure. I Mr. Reese next followed. He was opposed to any acquisition of territory beyond the fixation of the boun | dary line of Texas. The war he believed to be an un j just one.—Mr. R. said he had heard a great deol if j abuse heaped upon Mr. Clay, by the opposition. He was not the detender of Henry Clay—“the giant needed 1 not the assistance of the dwarf,” but he appeared there as the defender of Henry Clay’s patriotism. He then proceeded and performed his task with decided ability. Messrs. Simmons. Martin and F'orman took parts in the discussion, and Mr. Dunagan’s amendment was finally agreed to: Feoa—Bnrelay, Camp, Chastain, Cochran, Coffee, Dunagan, Duncan. Farris, Forman, Foil, Glenn, Hen derson, Hilliard, Hunt, Hunter, Irwin, YV J. Johnson, Lawton, Raitord, Simmons, Stewart, Watters, Wig gins.—23. Nays. —Boynton, Clayton, Collins, Darden, Hollo way, b. D. Johnson, Little, McArthu*, Marks, .Martin, Maxwell, Moore, Montgomery, Reese, Smith, Snider, Stapleton, Terrell, YY’ales, Williamson, Willingham. The amendment only passed by a temporary majori ty, w hich the Democracy now have, on account of the absence of Messrs. McLeod and Parks. It will of course will here-considered. In the House. —Mr. Clark from the Special Com mittee to whom was referred the Governor s message in relation to the removal of the body of Col. Mclntosh, introduced a bill appropriating money for that purposes. The following was agreed to, viz: Resolved, That the Committee on Finance be in structed to prepare and report to the House, a bill to levy and collect an adequate tax for the support of Go vernment upon principles of more equality than the past system. Mr. Martin introduced a bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, so far as relates to widows and F>me soles. Mr YY'ood, a bill to incorporate the Stewart county manufacturing company. Mr. Barton from the Committee on Agriculture and Internal Improvements, a bill for the completion of the Western and Atlantic Railroad—providing funds for the same, &,c. The following preamble and resolutions were agreed to: Official information having been received by this General Assembly, That Col Mclntosh, lately an of ficer in the United States army, serving in the war with Mexico, and a citizen of the State of Georgia, died on the Ist day of October, of wounds receive 1 in the mem. orable battle of El Molino del Rey of the Bth Septem. ber, 1847—and the communication having been refer red to a select committee, th:it committee report the following preamble and resolutions : YY’hereas, the people of Georgia are ever desirous paying appropriate honors to those who on the distant j battle fields, have rendered eminent services to the ; country, and their native State, j And whereas, Col.

Be it there fore resolved , That w r e the Representa tives of the people of his native State, will ever cherish the memory of this gallant otfieer, who oil the field of carnage and death, and m the battle’s foremost front fell—whdst leading on to the assault liis victorious co lumns. Resolved, That the body of Col. Mclntosh be remo | ved at the public expense, from its present place of in- Itermentin Mexico to his native State, and reinterred with suitable and appropriate honors—and that an act lie passed furnishing means for carrying this object into 1 full effect. Resolved, That we tender to the immediate family of the deceased, our condolence and heartfelt sympathy, j Resolved, That His Excellency the ;Governor be re ! quested to cause a copy of the foregoing preamble and I resolutions to be transmitted to the lamily of the deceas ed.

Mr. TANARUS rrei presented a memorial from Ker Boyce and and otheis, in relation to the construction of a Rail- Road, from a point on the Savannah River, in the vicin ity ol” Silver Biutf,” to the Central Rad-Road. The Senate, then resumed the consideration of the report of the committee on the Suite of the Republic. ! On motion of Mr. VY'uies, tin* amendment substituted as offend by Mr Dunagan was stncken out.

The House took up the order of the day, and after much discussion, the following Bill passed, on its third reading. A Bill to simplify and curtail pleadings at Law. Yours truly, S. MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec. 2d 1847 Gentlemen : In the Senate Mr. YY’iggins reported a bill to alter and amend the several acts incorporating the City of Macon. Mr. Dunagan, offered the following resolution, which was agreed to. Resolved —That his excellency, the Governor be re - quested to furnish to this brancii, of die Legislature a copy of the Law of the Stale of Tennessee granting to j this the right of way to the Tennessee river and the reservation of five acres of land at the terminus of •aid road for a depot (if said grant be given) or such law be in his office. i The Senate proceeded with the unfinished business j yesterday, which was the consideration of Mr. Dun ! ug ins’ resolutions. After much discussion on the part of the Democracy, an J several ineffectual efforts, such a9 to lay on the table p.'iut, postpone, atn md &c. t!i • following resolutions, j presented by Mr. Boynton were substituted for Mr. Dunagnns’ and agreed to ; Ist. Resolved —That the General Government of I the United Slates, ought to raise no more revenue in j time of peace than is necessary to defray the expenses I of its economical administration, carefully to abstain : from involving the country in unnecessary wars, by which the expenses of its administration may be indefi- 1 tiately increased, and that in adjusting a Tariff of im ports, a just discrimination within the limits of revenue, should be made for the protection of Domestic indus try. 2nd. Resolved —That if experience shall demonstrate I that the tariff law of 1316 approximates as nearly to these requisites as is practicable in a country of such diversi fied and conflicting interest as ours, and that it is con ducive to the prosperity of the commercial, agricultural and manufacturing pursuits of the United States, it ought not lo be repealed. 3.1. Resolved —That while Congress in the opinion of this Legislature h is constitutional authority to incor porate a National Bank, the creation of such an insti tution may oe safely postponed, as long as the State Banks cont.nue to furnish a sufficient amount of curren cy convertable into specie to preserve a just system of exchanges, and to facilitate the fiscal opperations of the Government. 4th. Resolved —That the appropriation of public money by Congress for the construction of works of in ternal improvement can only be legitimately made in the exercise of some power conferred by the constitution and ought to be confined to objects of general, and not extended to those of merely local interest. sth. Resolved —That the proceeds of the public land must first be applied to the payment of the public debt, and as the debt already accumulated and in process ol accumulation, will for an indefinite period absorb the whole of these proceeds, so also the question of their dis tribution may in like manner and for that cause be in definitely postponed. 6th. Resolved —That the qualified veto which it was intended by the constitution, to give to the President o* the Unit - J States, has become absolute in practice,but nil prospect of an amendment of the constitution is in tiie opinion of this Legislature, merely visionary, and therefore the discussion of this question is a useless w.tste of time and the money of the people, j 7th. Resolved— I That war is an evil which no nation J ought to encounter except in defence of its honor; that ! a war of conquest, prosecuted with a view to acquire by force of arms the territory of a foreign State, is alike forbidden by the precepts of our holy religion and the moral sent! items of the civilized world. That without stopping to scan the circumstances in which the war with Mexico originated, or the objects for which it is prosecuted, leaving : > the Congress of the United Slates in whom the whole war making power is vested by the Federal Constitution, to discharge its own appropriate mty in this regard, this Legislature acting in behalf of the people of Georgia, nevertheless feel bound to declare that a speedy termination of hostilites is imperiously de manded by that people. Bth. Resolved —That in the opinion of this Legisla ture, it is not the wish, nor would it consist with the in terest of the people of Georgia, that the war with Mexi co should be prosecuted with a view to the subjugation or dismemberment of that Republic, that the annexa tion of the departments of New Mexico and California whether to be governed as dependent territories or in corporated into this Union, would he fraught with incal culable evils, would impair the value of our free institu tions and essentially dimmish the relative weight and influence of the Southern members of the confederacy in the councils of the nation. 9th. Resolved —Tlwt the thanks of the whole coun try are due to the gallant officers and men of our anny, Navy and volunteer service for the glory with which they have covered our arms, and the heroic valor with wh eh they have sustained their country's cause on the buttle field. 10th Resolved —That in view of the tact that the ar mies ol the United States have achieved a series of the most unparalled and brilliant victories in Mexico, in every renewed conflict fully sustaining the reputation of the American anna and illustrating the invincibility of American courage and valor—in view ol the fact, I llial the enemy's forces are now scattered, dispersed ami I distracted without the prospect of again concentrating Jan army—ln view of the tact that Mexico ia at this mo menta conquered nation without concert or unity the United States might with great propriety in ospir ; it of humanity and chnatain arnevolence tender a peace on terms within the power of the conquered nation to accept and not involving the dismemberment of her own Republic. Ilth. Resolved That the attempt of the administra tion to cast suspicion upon the patriotism of those citi zens who have doubted the necessity of a war with Mexico—while he must have known that many of the most gallant officers and thousands ot the honest sol diets in the field of battle, as well as mullilu les whose sons were pouring out their bloo I in the conflict, enter tained their doubts—by imputing to all such a disposi tion to give “ aid and comfort to the enemy” has by no means concentrated th energies of the nation in supporting Ins administration, but has tended greatly to alienate from himself that respect mid confidence which the American people are prould to yield to their Chief Magistrate. In the House. Mr. Muaely introduced a bill to pro bib t Attorneys or other persons bringing an act on fur the recovery of real property without a power of attar- I tiey from the |>erson in whose name the action is brought.

Several bills were read a second time in the House to-day. \ ours, truly, S. MILLEDGEVILLE 3d Dec 1847. Gentlemen. —The Senate refused to reconsider the vote of yesterday limiting Senators to thirty miutes in speaking. The resolution of Mr. Barclay in relation to giving the Central Bank of Georgia the power to compromise cer tain debts &c. was taken up and agreed to. Mr. Terrell from the committee on Internal Improve ment made a report against uniting the Central and Western Rail Ronds nt the City of Macon. Mr. Terrel from the same Committee made ,a report against the memorial of Ker Boyce and his associates to connect the Georgia with the Hamburg Rail Road by grunting then the power to construct a bridge across the Savannah River and also to construct a Rail Road from “Silver Bluff’ on the Savannah river to the Central Rail road and to Augusta, Both report, were agreed to. Yeas 33 Nays 8. Some discussion was had on this report in which Mr. Chastain und the Presidqnt (Mr, (Miller participated. Mr Parks reported a bill to incorporate the Troup Fuctory. Several bills from ihe House were taken up read the third time and pamed . The bill to create aud organize anew Jldicial cir cuit to be called “ die Etowah circuit ” from the Cow eta and Cherokee circuits, to be composed ut the Coun ol De luilb , Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Un ion, and Gilmer, was taken up and lost— The Senate took up the report of the Committee, the bill to alter aud change the time for holding the e l’ Ction for Senators and representatives ol the Stale Legislature from the first Monday in October to the first Wednesday thereafter which was passed by the con stitutional majority. In the House —Mr. Garrntte introduced a bill to pro tect those engaged in the “Turpentine Business ” and pievent the setting of fire to woods or lands except at cer tain times and under certain circumstances soiur as the counuea ol Camden, Glynn, Mciuto.h, Scriven, Jeller sou.and Washington counties are concerned. Mr. Mclntosh introduced a bill to incorporate the i Elbert Rail Road Company and punish persons for vio | luting the same. ‘Phe House resumed the unfinished busin< as of yes | terday which was the incorporation of the Atlanta aud West Point Rail Road Company, contrary to exp eta j non the bill was passed by a vote of Yeas 61—N.*ys 52—1 understand an effort will be made to reconsider the bill to-morrow morning. The House took up the special order of the day which was the report on the bill to incorporate the Gainsvdle Rail Road Company with power to construct a Rail Road from Atlanta or some convenient point in DeKalb county to the Town of Gainsviile in Hall county—pas sed. The bill to incorporate the \Y r asliington Rail Road Company from Washintgonin YVilkes county to Ten mile (station No. 13) on the Central Rail Rond was un der dsseussion when the House adjourned last night. It appears that the construction of the Road though it will be an essential service to the people of Wilks. YY’arren, Hancock and Washington counties, docs not exactly suit the wishes of the Georgia Rail Road Com pany and hence there is some objection to the bill, but 1 apprehend that the Legislature ol Georgia wil I not ask leave of the Georgia Rail Road whether it will suit her exclusive interest to prevent the people from carrying their produce to whatever market they please. All the bills passed incorporating Rail Roads have the “ liability proviso” attached to them I believe vl r Jackson of Walton has the credit of being the prime mover in tns matter. Y r ours, truly, S. FOR THE JOURNAL AND MESSENGER In the Presentmens of the second panel of the Grand Jurors, serving during the recent session of our Superior Court, was contained the following paragraph, viz : “ With deep degret we feel bound to state, and bring to the view of the court, that the Grand Jurors have labored for years to bring to punishment offenders of the law. True bills have been found court atter court, against gamblers and other offenders, and either through negligence, connivance or wilful disregard of duty by the officers ol Court, the parties have escaped by not oeing arrested or uisufficieiu security, and by uol. pros., thereby rendering the law a dead letter, and the pro ceedings of Grand Juries a grand farce.” * I might, Messrs. Editors,present you with a formida ble array of tacts, to show that so far at least as the present Solicitor General is concerned, the very woithy Grand Jury labored under a misapprehension. It has been rendered wholly unnecessary as the official con duct of that officer was fully sustained in open court, by His Honor, Judge Floyd, and by Messrs. Chapped, Har deman, Poe and others, gentlemen of high proiesaional character and respectabditv, and also the entire Bar. On Thursday morning, after the Presentments had been read, Washington Poe, Esq., in open court, (there being a full attendance) offered the following, which was unanunously adopted: Bibb Superior Court, ) Nov. Term, 1847. $ The members of the Bar of said court, fearing that some misapprehension may arise from the Presentments of the second panel of the Grand Jury, derogatory to the official acts of Rufus W. McCune, Solicitor Gen eral, and which were read in Court during ins absence, have considered it but a sheer act ol justice to their ab sent young Brother, to pass the following resolutions: 1. Resolved , That in the opinion of this Bar, Rurus YY r . McCune, the Solicitor General of the Flint Cir cuit is a prompt, intelligent and efficient representative of tlie interests of Georgia in the prosecution oi the vi olators of the penal laws of this State, and we know of no young officer whom the State has more to hope, than from the said Solicitor General McCune. 2 Resolved, That His Honor JuJge F'ioyd, be re requemeJ to have t’ e above resolution, plac-d upon the ininuti sol the Court. His Honor complied promptly with the request. I beg you now to give this article a place in your paper, not for the purpose of making an issue with any of the Jurors in question,for I believe they acted under n high sense of their high obligations though certainly under a most unfortunate misapprehension. 1 would not even now ask a publication ; but in the absence of my young friend, 1 have understood that versions of th s matter, are afloat, lnjurions to his reputation as a gentleman and officer.
