This bill is l° r die construction of a Railroad from

I road at or near Tennille (station No. 13) and it will pass
I over the Georgia Railroad at or near Camming. Mr.
I Jenkins offered an additional section to the bill (which
I was lost) which was that the consent of the Georgia
I Railroad should first be obtained before the Road should
Ibe constructed. Much discussion arose on this proviso
I ill which Messrs Jenkins, Gartrell Bartow and others
I participated. Mr. Jenkins contended that as the right
I ot way had been granted to the Georgia Railroad, and
lan expressed privilege given to her,so that no road could
Ibe ran within twenty miles of Augusta, by a previous
I Legislature, that this Legislature could not give the
I nght to the Washington Railroad Company or any oth-
I ercompany to pass over the Georgia Railroad. Mr

} Mr Nisukt, front the Commute on Manufactures,
begs lenvo to make the following Report:
i . The Committee on Manufactures, to whom was re-j
ferred no much of tin- Governor’s Message, as relates to ■
granting Charters lor manufacturing purposes,beg leave i
to submit tiie fallowing Report:
\ our Committee deem it unnecessary to advocate at |
any length, the policy of manufacturing in our State.
Its advantages are so obvious, and admitted, and tlte I
extention of its various branches so loudly called tor by !
public sentiment, that a lew words will suffice on this,
head. The perfection oi manufacturing consists in he- 1
i tug able to effect desired changes in tile raw material at I
the least cost, and finding markets for its products with j
the greatest facility. Judging by this rule, Georgia
presents the greatest possible advantages ns a nmnufuc-1
tunng State. She has nbnudnnt supplies of raw mate
rial, nnd especially of Iron, Cotton. Wool, and Hides, i
She lias a large amount of unemployed capital and la
bor. She boasts n climate favorable (or every kind of!
enterprize and exertion. And then she occupies a ‘
geom-nhjtical position, which, gives us ready necess t
to the markets of the world, with our manufacture.!
product.. We dismiss this branch of the subject, with’
two reflections:—t hie is, that the late commercial re- I
vulsion m Europe, which has prostrated the price ofcot- j
ton and bread stuffs, should impress upon os the neces-1
sity of a steady, reliable home market The other is,
that the settled purpose ami continued eflbrt of Eng
land, to extend the culture of cotton in the East Indies,
should admonish us of the impolicy of relying upon one
great customer (or the sale of our cottons, whose inter
est it is to drive our staple tfom her markets. To shield
ourselves from such impending evils, w- must resort to
manufacturing upon a large and extended scale.
In considering the various subjects referred to us,
your Committee can but feel a hieh sense of gratified
pride, at the results already exhibited by our infant
mnnufacturies. But a few years ltnve elapsed since the
introduction of manufacturing into Georgia. Those
lew years have witnessed the initiative of die policy, its
rapid advance, and its triumphant success. We have
in successful o|eration several Iron establishments, with
large capitals, nnd giving employment to some hun
dreds ot operatives. These establishments are furnish
ing iron w are of various kinds .cheap in price, respecta
ble in quantity, and unexcelled in quality. They nre
also preparing to supply iron for machinery, agricultu
ral implements, Railroads, and all the uses of lire. The
State is greatly indebted to Messrs. Cooper,Stroup A
W'iiey.for the bold strides they are making in this race
of improvement—they are doing wonders in developing
the resources ol Georgia, and realizing the grandeur of
her destiny. It is not too much to say, tltut these puh
lir spirited men, and others endowed with like energy,
will at no distant day, render us independent of the iron
mongers of England, nnd France, Russia and Pensyl
vnnia,if properly sustained by liberal legislation. Four
Committee are credibly informed that the works of
Messrs. Cooper, Stroup A Wiley, will soon furnish to
the Western A Atlantic Railroad twenty tons of (rieght
a day. A fact that demonstrates the policy of encour
aging manufacturing, with a view to increase the profits
of our Railroads.
In the department of Cotton manufacturing, your
Committee have collected a lew statistics, which they
do not present as accurate but approximating thermo.
We know of thirty-two Cotton factories in our State,
in operation, or iii progress of construction. There is
employed in the buildings and working of these 32 lac
tones, two millions ol dots. Hie nuniberofhandsengag
ed therein, is near three thousand,and of persons directly
receiving their support from the same, six thousand.—
The consumption of provisions and ugricultnral pro
ducts (other than cotton) by these factories, is fully equal
to three hundred thousand dollars per annum, at pre
sent prices. Their consumption of cotton, (s*r annum,
reaches 18,000 to 20.0 m) bags, and the value of munu
furtured goods, turned out by them, last year, fell no
thing short of one and a hall million of dollars. One
third of these manufactured goods were sold out of the
State, mostly in the northern markets, and partially in
the Valley of the Mississippi—that illimitable field ot
consumption which lays open to the enterprize ol our
manufacturers—The coarser goods manufactured in
Georgia, stand high in the northern markets, and com
mand n preference over all others of the same style's.— ]
This is owing to the fact, that they are made of better
cottons. In one instance a shipment of fifty hales of
Georgia yarns, by one of our enterprsing companions j
to China, was well received, and gave satisfaction in j
that market. We might enlarge upon the results of
our manufacturing enterprize—results that have drawn
upon Georgia the admiring observation of our sister
States. But we forbear, believing enough has been
said on this head.
We cotne now to consider the several topics of the
Govemnoris message, more directly referred to us. It
is with unaffected regret, that we are compelled to dis
sent from two of the recommendations made to the
Gen’l Assembly, by Gov. Crawford. It would he at all
times painfhl to differ in opinion, as to a mere question
of State policy, with so high a luncieniary. It is doub
ly so. in the present instance, because we conflict with
the views of one, whose fame as a financier and busi
ness man, is coterminous with the Union.—The objec
tion of your Couuuitee to compelling Manufacturing
Companies under a specific penalty, to give their in
dented apprentices the rudiments of an English educa
tion, is founded in the impracticability ol such Legisla
tion. Experience has demonstrated, that a Legisialivc
requirement, unsustained by public opinion, cannot be
enforced Penal enactments, accompanied by whatso
ever of rigor, and severity, have never proved auccesful
in exacting from the citizens the discharge of an imper
fectobligation.
While therefore we hold that this object cannot be ac
complished by legislation, we arc free to admit its vast
importance, Manufacturing Companies, we trust, from
motives of philanthropy and interest, will give their ap
prentices tne rudiments of an English education. By
so doing they will secure from them greater skill and
greater fidelity, nnd have the consolation of shedding
the light of knowledge around the beaten and flinty
pathway of labor.
The other recommendation of Gov. Crawford from
which we dissent, is that of exempting Manufacturing
Companies from taxalion. Our objections to this re
commendation arc three fold : First, wo hold thnt eve
ry interest nnd all investments of capital should bears
lair share of public burdens Convinced, as we are,
that manufacturing capital will yield remunerating pro
fits, we cannot agree that it should lie exempt from tax
ation, in the present financial condition of our State. —
Secondly, such an exemption, we fear,may be claim
ed as a precedinent to exempt investments in other use
ful avocations from taxation, and thus tile revenues ol
the State may lie crippled. Thirdly, such an exemption
may stimulate manufacturing companies into
too rank a growth, anti thus injure the policy
as well its the persons who may engage in it.
We are the more disposed to withofd from
Manufacturing Companies this doubtful boon
at best, because we are prepared to concede
; them a far more valuable privilege—tlmt of
exempting the private property of stockholders
from liability to pay the debts of chartered
companies to which they may belong. In sus
taining the views of Gov. Crawford oil this
i subject, we are influenced by the most cogent
I considerations of public policy. Various rca-
I sous could be presented by your Committee
j in favor of granting manufacturing charters
releasing the stockholders from individual li
ability. We will content ourselves by brief
i ly glancing at n few of the most prominent.—
: W e hold that it is alone through the instru
mentality of such charters thnt manufacturing
j enterprise can be stimulated and carried for
ward in our State. It is impossible that indi-
I vidtial eflbrt can accomplish any considerable !
work of improvement in the United States, — I
Hence, in looking over our Confederacy, we |
j see that all our great Improvements have been j
the results of associated capital. Chnrtercd |
I Companies have built our Railroads, naviga
ted the occun with steuin, mid sent tlte light I
| niiigs as swill messengers along the wires of
■ the Magnetic Telegraph. This position can
! not be controverted. We usk then, emphuti-
I tally, if manufacturing, depends on associn
! ted capital, how are you to organize compti
; ides ifthe exemption now advocated be not
yielded in granting charters? Will prudent
men take stock in manufacturing companies’
at the hazard of involving their whole estates? >
With this brunch of industry, our people urej
not familiar. Asa substitute lor the custom
ary modes of employing capital, labor at the
Smith, they regard it, in its most inviting as
pects with prudent hesitation and cautious
scrutiny. I view of clauses imposing person
al liability upon stockholders Ibr corporate
debts, which occupy u prominent place in all
rhnrters granted lor tne encouragement 01 1
such investments, they yield to undefined tip- 1
prehensions of peril, ‘it is not strange tlmt in- j
dlviduuU should question the safety of capital j
in an investment novel to them, when legisla-1
tors require tor the security of the public a
guaranty beyond the capital so invested.—
Commendable prudence is frightened into tim
idity nnd calculating caution turns buck to
pursuits already overdone, and therefore Un
profitable tor the simple reason that they are
better understood. Tlitis dors such legisla
tion tend to delbat its own most dcHpirable end
that of diversifying labor und distributing cap
ital by tbe introduction of new branches of in
dustry.
Nor do your Committee deem this extreme
caution proper enough in granting bunking
flraachises, nt all neceeeory in creating clmrj
ters intended to aid capital and labor in con
verting raw material into useful fabrics.
The two cases are clearly distinguishable.
In the former, the corporation issues bills which
passfrom hand to hand in the varied operations
oftrude, and thereby becomes the debtor of
thousands. In the Ut'tter, it deals with a limited
number; its contracts speedily mature, and
being incapable if circulation, must necessari
ly he promptly redeemed at the peril of ruined
I credit.
It is believed that a clause in Manufactu
ring charters, limiting the amount of indebt-
I edness, and in case of excess above the limit,
I making the directors or managers by whom
I such excess created, personally liable, would
j give abundant security to the public.
Your (.’omuuttee are fortified in thisconclu
j sion by the variant experience of other States.
’ Those States that have granted liberal char-
I ters’ with tbe exemption we advocate, have
| shot ahead in the march of improvement.—
On the contrary, such as have witheld, it and
| insisted upon liberal restrictions, have lagged
Oita humiliating distance behind their more
| prosperous sister States.
Thy most causal observer cannot fail to sec, tlmt the
i individual liability clause in manufacturing dinners,
i will drive capital from our St’ite. Our people posiesa
! ns much Stale pride as others, but it will not lend them
to jeopard their fortunes ami rain their families
i l’he enlightened policy of other States has bnnished
I this restrictive clause from Munfacturing Charters.—
j Capital will find ample Held lor investment in tlrose
.Stales, and by a law as natural as that of gravitation,
! will seek such investments. Our sisier State of South
I Carolina, lias adopted the liberal policy of grantin,*
I charters without imposingthe individual liability clause,
i It Georgia adopts a contrary policy, our cnp'tntists will
j avail themselves of die induceuints held out by our Lor-
I dering State. When we look to the States of the
j North, we see ninny examples, illustrative of this fact.
New Jersey by her liberal jilicy,is drawing to her
manufactures Pennsylvania capital, exiled
j lrom tlte latter State by her contracted legis
lation. Yes! the key stone State, by Iter
niggard policy, lias drivem millions of dollars
to seek investment elsewhere. When wc go
farther Hast, we see Massachusetts absorbing
tbe capital of other States, and wielding it tor
Iter own aggrandizement, by granting just
sueh charters as we now advocate, indeed
Massachusetts, may be said to be a communi
ty of incorporations, all unrestricted, as to in
diaiduul liability, except her Hanks. Hence
her wealth, her power, and her superioty over
surrounding States. Let Georgia pause, and
receive lessons of wisdom from the teaching of
such examples. We will present bul one
more view on this interesting topic, and that
is. that tbe insertion of the liability clause in
Manufacturing Charters, injures tlte policy
without affording any rent security to the pub
!i ■ We are aware that we here join is*-uc,
with the opponents of our plan. To protect
the community against loss from the failure
ot incorporated companies, is the praiseworthy
object they avow. We yield not to them in
a sincere desire to accomplish that object.—
The question between us, is, will the inser
tion of the individual liability clause, in man
ufacturing charters. afford increased protec
tion to the community ? We think not. With
a restriction substantial capitalists, will bold
alool from Manufacturing Companies. Their
will be held by irresponsible, speculative men.
The desire of gain, and accumulating ibrtune
suddenly, will lead toover trading and undue
expansion. Failures may and probably will
ensue. When failures take place, injured
creditors will search in vain, for tlte the prop
erty of Stockholders, and instead of their mon
ey, they will get a return of “Nulla Ilona”
by the officer. Such will he the working of
tlte individual liability clause. We are forced
to two conclusions, one is, that the risk ofloss
to tbe community by failures of Manufactur
ing Companies, will be diminished by encour
aging men of substantial capital to make in
vestment in the stocks of such companies; and
the other is, that this can be done oulv by
j granting charters, free from any personal lia
bility of tbe Stockholders to pay tlte debts of
such incorporations. While then we would
urge the granting of charters upon the terms
’ herein lietbre set Ibrtli, yuur Committe hold
hoid that it may bs the true policy of Georgia
at so distant day, as it is of other States, to
pass a geittral Incorporation Act, under
. which all Companies lor Manufacturing pur
poses may organise. Such an act would coll
ier equal privtliges upon all citizens and pre
’ vent tiie frequent applications to the Legisla
ture for Charters.
in coucluson your committee can but in
dulge the hope, that the day is not tar dis
tant when Georgia will assume the high rank
i nature designs her to hold in the confederacy.
—That day will have dawned, which her re
sources shall begin to be fully developed—
when tin improved agriculture shall have re
suscitated her fields—an invigorated eoin
meree bear her productions to every clime,
and the mechanic arts, from innumerable
workshops, roll out upon her people, uncount
ed streams of wealth. Hut above all, when
manufacturing becomes the child oflierlove—
when our dormant mineral wealth shall be ex
humed and anew industry be imparted to our
resting labor—when the gorges of our moun
tains shall be made luminous with forges, and
the sylvan solitudes tliat now encompass our
our waterfells, be filled with tlte music ofma
-1 chinery.

Many cases ofthis class of cutaneous affections are
extremely difficult to cure with the ordinary remedies,
but here is one that will rarely fail even in the most ob

j the loss of health frequently with many individuals.—
! Few in either form of the disease but could escape by
I timely means and attention. Constipation nearly al
ways precedes an attack, and as n matter of course,
must be obviated in its treatment. To this end, here
is a remedy, based upon the scientific principles that

Fur the safe and immediate cure of Blennot h<ra, and
all Chronic Affections of the Kidneys {* Bladder.
I Thisisanew and invaluable medicine, recently in
, troduced into the United States, for the cure of the Ve
-1 nereal disease, in its various complicated forms.
Some years ago, I obtained a receipt of the French
Mixture, which J have prescribed with unparalleled
success ev* r since in the treatment of venereal diseas
es, and Chronic affections of the kidneys and bladder ;
not however without some modification of the extensve
compound that suggested itsell from time to time in do- \
ing an active prescribing business with the medicine.
Being thus improved und perfected, 1 consider that j
anew cm lias dawned in the treatment of these discus
es by the intrduetion of tla* French Mixture, which is
not only a safe remedy, but a sure and speedy one. j
| For the purpose of adapting the remedy to all the forms |
of the disease, and to the various peculiarities of the .
I constitution, ii has been found necessary to use the !
; medicine us modified in the forms of Nos. 1 and 2.
j The first for the acute stage and No. 2 in the chronic
! form of the disease It is in the latte/form (Blennorfura)
; that so much difficulty has been experienced in curing
it, and which is by fur the most common.
In submitting tins medicine to the test of public sera
‘ tiny, 1 have no tear for the result. Hundreds of cusrs I
j have been cured by it, and even in wild and dissipated |
j subjects, the cure has often been prompt and effectual.
