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.

Gentlemen : —Mr. Irwin moved to reconsider so much ot y esterday s Journal as relates to the rejection of the bul to lay out and organize anew county from the counties of Cass, and Murray, which was rejected. Mr. Terrel presented the petition of T. Nixon Van dyke, President of the Hi wassee Rail Road Company praying the legislature to build the connecting Lnk be tween the 111 wassee Rail Road and the Atlantic and the Western Rail Road or toauihorize the Higiiwas see Rail Road Company to penetrate the State of Georgia with their Rail Road so as to form a connex ion between the two roads, which was referred to the Committe on Internal Improvements. 1 he hill authorizing the construction of the Magnet ic 1 elegraph and providaig for the protection of the same passed. 1 he bill to alter and amend the several acts incorpo rating the City of Macon, was pa&^ed.

In the House Mr. Nesbit introduced a bill to author ize all free white citizens of this State and their associ ates to prosecute the business of Manufacturing an and gram certain privileges therein named—which was read the first time. Mr. Nesbit from the Committee ou Agriculture and Internal Improvements offered a series of resolutions which were agreed to, directing the Chief Engineer of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road to reduce the treight on Lime, Gypsum and Marl, provided the other roads agree to carry at the same rates per mile. Mr. Jones offered an amendment winch was received also instructing the Chief Engineer to reduce the freight on salt with the same proviso as offered by Mr. Nesbit. j ‘l’lns is really wise legislation and if carried into es- ‘ iect, the beneficial results arising therefrom will be in- j valuable.

The House met thin evening at 7 o’clock nnd nbout one hundred bills were read the second time. } 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. Yours, truly, S. MILLEDGEVILLE 11, Dec. Gentlemen. —The bill tor tiie protection and preservation of tbe rights of married wo men tiller much discussion was reconsidered and retiered to a special committee. Several bills ofu local nature were passed. The bill for tbe establishment ol a free school system alter much discussion was lost. In the House. Mr. Smith of Cass laid upon the table the memorial of Cooper Stroup, and Wiley, which was read and relierrod to the committee on agriculture and Internal Im provements.

This is a pleasant medicine to take, pro ducing in most cases immediate relief, and in nine cases out of ten a prompt cure. It exercises the most controlling influence over coughs and irritations of the lungs, of any remedy known ; often stopping the inoet violent in a tew hours, and at most in a day or two, hy producing a free and cav expectoration.

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 stinate case*. No difficulty is experienced in applying I it; one bottle is quite sufficient in most cases, and not j more than two will be required to effect a cure in al most any case. Price, 50 cents.

To this end, here is a remedy, based upon the scientific principles that j can be fully relied on. The most flattering success will attend tie* use of a single package of the mcdicicine.

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. | ‘f'be French Mixture is not unpleasant to take, taste, J i nor and • it will* the stomach, wlieu used in ! | accordance with tfie directions. !
