In the first place tbe peculiar friends of Atlanta bolted when they iound that they could not succeed in removing the State House to their own section. In the next place, Hi'’ undivided influence of the Georgiu Railroad went against Macon. In the third place, Mr. Bartow and his particular friends pursued an uutiutural course and opposed the removal. Ami in the last place, the mem bers from Lowndes and ‘Thomas, one of whom had made a violent speech in favor of removal, were strangely metamorphosed and voted against the bill up on its filial passage. Some of these changes seemed to have been effected in the twinkling of an eye, and are qu teas strange as the changes produced by the ancient alchyimsts. Among those* who voted against the bill, you will observe the names of the nienil>er9 from Crawford and Lee, both of whose constituents are deeply inter ested in removal. j One thing is certain. The hall has been set in mo | tion and the tfeat of Government w ill be removed at the next ssssion, unless a Railroad is in the meantime | constructed from the Capitol to the Central and Geor gia railroads. The bill to alter and amend the 9th section of the 3d article of the Constitution, was postponed for furtder consideration. The resolution of the Sennte for the pardon of the female convicts in the Penitentiary, was taken up and agreed to. Air. Jones’ resolution to censure Ex-Governor Craw ford in relation to the appointment of Lieut. Colonels Calhoun and Seymour, was rejected—yeas 4*2, nays 73. lti this movement Mr. Jones made a most palpable and ridiculous failure. Yours, &c. MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec 15, 1847. Gentlemen:—//i the Senate, Mr Hunt offered a re solution— icquestiiig his Excellency the Governor to appoint three suitable persons as a committee to enquire into the state of education in Georgia, to report to the next Legislature, on the operation of the present Poor Schoo uws, a.iJ to recoininenJ any aiteiation in the same, mat in ty to them s.-em advisable, or suggest a plan tor general ejucal on, if c ulsidereJ by them ex pedient— accoinpanit J by a suitable bill for carrying out the same Mr Williamson offered a resolution, that both Hous es ol this Legislature do adjourn on the 24th inst.

The House refused to reconsider so much of yester day’s journul os relates to the rejection ol the bill lor the ! removal of the seat of Government. • Mr Bartow reported a bill, a copy of that introduced j by Mr Terrell in the Senate, granting certa in privi | leges to the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Com : pany. Mr. Tilt from the committee on Agriculturre and In temal Improvements to whom was referred the bill to provide lor tmpr. vtng the navigation ol the Flint river by means of the credit of the Stale, and lo provide for ] the payment of the principal without loss to the State, ] reported lavorably to the bill. Mr Lewis introduced a bill to suspend the militia laws and to provide for the encouragement of Volunteer Companies. I he bill to authorize all free white citizens of the State of Georgia and such others as may associate with them, to prosecute the business of manufacturing with corporate powers and privileges, passed by the unex pectedly large vote of 84 to 33. This bill, by fir the most important one before the present Legislature, will now doubtless become a law. It wa> prepared by Mr. Nisliet, the Chairman of the Committee on Manufactures, and in all essential points embraces the provisions suggested in your pa[>er a few ! weeks since. It is matter of congratulation that the lieople of the South are at last beginuig to understand their own true interests upon the subject of manufac tures It England can add an hundred millions to her wealth annually, by the manufacture oi our cotton, surely we can approximate to similar results. ‘Plus bill is therefore essentially the “great measure of deliv ance und liberty” for the South and especially for tire planters, because every manutHCtory which they build up, makes them so lur independent of Bmish milueti j ces and udds correspondingly to the volue if their I cotton. The bill to change the time of holding the Supreme Court ot the State of Georgia, was lost. Yours truly, 8. MiLLEDGKVILLE. Dec 16, 1817 GIKTCKuaN.

Gknti.emen.—The charier for the Atlanta and West Point Railroad Company was reconsidered, amended so as to terminate the road at Lagrange, Troup coun ty, and to allow the Muscogee road to connect with it at any point, and passed. ‘1 Ins 1 presume is an arrangement on the part of the fuends ol Columbus to prevent the final crossing of the State in that direction, and they have doubtless ac complished their purpose, for no sensible limn would invest his money in such a work and uiidersuch a c hr ter. It is nearly as visionary a scheme ns that which proposes to cross the State from Bartlesville to Social Circle on the Georgia rum I 1 lie bill lor the completion of the Western and Atlan tic Railroad passed. This bill appropriates the sum us *375,000 in State Bonds lor the extension of the State road to Chnttanoo ] ga. The Bonds are to be issued and sold at par, and the income ol the road and the faith of the State are pledged for the payment of interest and principal It is estimated that the outlay of the above sum will in crease the income ol the road from SIOO,OOO to $200,- 000 per annum more than at present. It was therefore j warmly supported us a financial measure. It iitially passed by nearly two thirds and now only awaits the j signature ot ihe Governor. I he hill to authorize the junction of Railroad trucks through, or around, your city, passed by a decided vote* though opposed by Mr. Wiggins in a speech of mucti j lner ‘t and animation Should this bill even pass the House, it need give your citizens but l.ule uneasiness, as ill’- road cannot be carried through the city except upon such terms as the citizens may be content with, and it cannot be earned urc und unless at a cost of from a quarter to a halfa million of dollars.

Santa Anna, it was said, had issued another pronnnciamiento against the provisions, government, and called on the country to re-organize a force of 50,000 men to renew the war. He was at the head of astrong force—by some reports 16,000 men, ol all arms—and was threatening the Congress, in session at Cjueretaro. the majority of which was, it was said, strongly inclined to peace. So great were the fears en tertained at ihe capital, of Santa Anna's breaking up the Congress ala Cromwell, that (Jen. Scott had order ed Gen. Worth, with a strong division, to Queretaro, to protect its deliberations. The Louisiana battalion of Mounted Men have had something ot a showing with the Guerrillas On the 23d, lour of the men of Company D left catnp to pro cure some beeves. Their long absence alamted those in camp, and Lieut. Hunter, ol the Bailie company, tak ing a squadron of 20 men. proceeded on ihe morning of the 24th in search of the missing men. As he ap proarhed the rancho of Col. Zenobla, some 18 Hides from Vera Cruz, he was attacked by a strong guerrilla force, and was compelled to retreat to camp. Capt. Geo Kerr, commanding Cos. C, with !0 men and three subalterns, was ordered out in pursuit of the guerrillas, taking Lieut. Hunter as a guide. On the night of the 21th, Captain Kerr reached the rancho of Col. Zenobia where a strong guerrilla force was (Misted, and alter a short hut decisive conflict, succeeded in killing five of the enemy and taking live prisoners.

At his residence in Monroe county, Ga.. on the 22d day ot November last, after an illness of nearly five weeks, Mr James Connally, in the 44th year of his age. He was born in Jackson county, Gh., on the 29th day of December. 1803, and early iu life emigated to Alabama, where he remained until abunt tin- year 18*ij, when he removed to Georgia again, and settled permanently. 7he death of our much esteemed friend, is deeply regretted by a sympathizing coninuimiy, and has created ;i vacuum in the social and domestic joy of the family of which he was a much loved member,— which nothing on earih can ever fill “But they sorrow not, aa ttli-v that h ive no hope.” In the year lalf.l, he connected hmre !f ivitii the Methodist Episcopal Church, and silica that time lias lived a pfeiH anT consistent member ot ifiat cumch. At an early period m Ins late illness, however, fie felt ii|>o!i a close examination into trie state ..I Ins soul, that all was not rigfit, ami under conviction that Ins disease might prove fatal,began with j B rent earnestness, in secret devotion, to seek a thorough j preparation for his coming change. God heard his | prayers, lifted the light of his face upon him, and gave him the victory over the fear of death, whicli he main tained with scarcely a single conflict to the last He continued from tins until the time, he was released from his sufferings, to give the most undoubted assurance of his entire preparation to abide th.* will of his heavenly father, whether it might lie for him to live or to die In his intercourse with the world, he was open, geuer ous, sincere, hospitable, strict punctuality, and unswer ving integrity, marked all his dealings, in the discharge ot every duty, as citizenship, he was taithlul and sedu lous. He retained lus pro|ier mind until the very last, and in several instances he replied, “Yes, yes, nothing now for me to do, but to depart and lie with Jesus,”— at another time, having repeated the words “ Jesus can make a dying bed, Feel soft as downy pillowsare,” Again he said to his wife, dont grieve after me, I will soon be at rest; and his last words upon the subject, were, “all is well,” “all is well,’’ they were uttered w'tth great emphasis. He endured his afflictions, though severe, with a remarkable degree of patience and resig nation, and died in |ieace. A tender, iitF-ctmi ate and devoted husband, he has left behind a heart-stricken widow, tor whose consuming griel, the world contains no refuge, but whose sole consolation is the hope of a bhssiul re union in the paradise ol God Four father less children are left to the protection of the orphan’s God, one or two ot them old enough, to be impressed by paternal example nnd precepts, which it properly improved, will conduct to usefulness and respectabili ty here, and happiness never ending beyond the grave. \y’**** In Burke county, on the 14th inst .
