The Speaker’a Addreaa.
lhe Hon. Jausb A. Mkbbiwbthbh, on taking
the chair ae speaker of the House of Represen
tatives, delivered the following admirable ad
dress :
Gentleman of the Houee of Representatives:
Accept my thanks for the honor you have
dona me. Unmerited as it was by me, yet so
generously tendered as it has been by you, the
sireumßtances could not fail to excite my liveli
est gratitude for this kind expression of your
Confidence.
I bring to the discharge of my duties but a
limited snare of experience, end doubtless I shall
oftentimes have to throw myself upon your char
ity for support. Bat be my errors ever so often
repeated, t rest assured, they will at ail times
times owe their existence to the defects of judg
ment, and never to an evil intention.
Gentlemen, our State has just pasted the or
deal of a severe and blttor contest. New issues,
involving the integrity of the government Itself
have altogether supplanted the accidental caus
es which nave hitherto marked the boundaries
of pslitical parties. This disruption of past as
soeiatiens, this severance of political ties, has
most unhappily given rise to much of personal
vituperation. »
Differences of opinion, originating in motives,
equally patriotic, have failed to command that
toleration which the fearless pursuit of truth
should at all times command. But the occasion
which gs\ e rise to this bitter strife is gone—the
sovereign people have proclaimed their high be
hests- then let us generously give to the past
all the acrimonious feeling which it has engen
dered, and forgetting alt but our common coun
try, let us unite with heart and hand to uphold
ear constitutional Union.
Gontlemen of the House—important duties
will devolve upon yoa during the present session.
Oar rapidly increasing population—the extension
of our system of intercommunication —the da •
veJepement of oar resources—the diversity of
•ur pursuits, sad the new relations which sll
these are forminy among us, will call for new
and theehangeof many old laws. Let us give
te these subjects the careful thought and patient
investigation which become the representatives
•f a great and truly growing people.
Punctuality to duty, and adherence to our
rules in its discharge, will greatly aid us in the
attainment of the purposes desired, as well as
bring our session to a successful and soasona'&le
dose.
It is a pleasing theme to contemplate the fu
ture destiny of our State. To en%yrh&ftg,s wit
nessed her rapid transitlon’within A w years,
the.reality sums more the illusion of /ifee magi
cian's art, than the result of actuaKdevelop
ment. What was Georgia twenty years ago,
and what is ebe to day? Then, stripped of
Commerce—manufactories scarcely known—the
mechanical arts perishing—not a foot of rail
road within her limits—cities decaying—agri
culture languishing, and labor stifled because of
the isolation of its employment—an ill organ
ised judiciary denied protection to right, be
cause of the uncertainty of its continuance
A few county academies and a State coll ie of
fltful existence, marked the era of education,
while our State, closing tho first century of its
•xisteneo, numbered but half a million of souls
within its limits.
Now, what hastwenty years done for Geor
gia? Her commerce boldly striding on—man
ufactories in every -variety rising op svery where
—the mechanical arts challenging the rivalry of
elder States —labor diversified and rewarded—
agriculture Improved and yet improving—a well
organized judiciary, giving stability to laws—
•lie thousand miles of railroad, completed and
completing, tapping the tributaries or tho Mis
sissippi, and running in near approach to those
•f the Gulf—cities flourishing, and some boost
ing their thousands of inhabitants, whose sites
twentyyearejsince werejtha pasture of the bound
ing deer —education spreading all over the State,
while nine collegiate institutions dispense their
blessings to moie than twelve hundred scholars
annually!
This is the bright page of mv country’s histo
ry, on which I delight to look.
Twenty years ago, I was first honored with a
neat on this floor; I have witnessed the day of
her gloom, and I beheld now the bright sun
ghino of her prosperity.
When I look upon all this, it is with a vanity
that I care not to conceal —with a spirit of exul
tation for the past and of joyous hope for the
future, 1 can exclaim, “this is my own, my
native land.”
And to what do we owe all this evidence of
prosperity and happiness ? It is the full fruition
of our own free and happy government.
But shall Georgia stop in her onward march ?
Shall she play the laggard in the future because
of her successes in the past ? No, let her tri
umphs strengthen her energies. Go on. She
holds the key to tho commerce of the great
West. Open new channels of internal commu
nication, —cheapen transportation—invite com
merce—foster manufactories in all their varie
ties—enconrcgo especially, the mechanical arts,
those great agents of individual wealth and na
tional strength. And last, though never least,
by a well directed system of public education,
let it be the boast of every Georgian, that not a
son or daughter lives upon her soil, who cannot
speak and write their native tongue.
Georgia has a great destiny to fulfil. Great
In her physical resources—great in moral action
with a climate surpassing in salubrity and health
the most favored of the Atlantic States, her
rapid advancement is but the prestige of her fu
ture gloiy.
She now bears meekly the sectional distinc
tion of the Empire State of the South. Her
energies have won her this proud position, and a
just pulic has accorded her her due. Develop her
mighty resources—stimulate her mighty ener
gies—speed her on in her course, ana the day is
aot distant when she will claim, and deserve
to receive the more honored and more national
distinction of th e Empire State of this glerioui

FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 7.
Permanence of tbe Pair*
Thu correspondent of the Southern Recor
der, closes a notice of the late Fair at Macon,
with the following remarks :
“ Upon a review of the whole matter, we are
fully convinced that the holding of such fairs is
calculated to have a moat important bearing upon all
the industrial interests of our country. New ideas
are thrown broadcast through the masses ; emula
tion is excited, inveution is quickened, new puff
suits will be introduced, improved qualifies in all
that is reared or manufactured will become the
desire of each citizen j industry will be piomoted,
audits rewards rendered at once much more certain,
and much mere abundant. In a word, their ten
dency is to make us a thrifty, a oomfortable, a
contented and a happy people. Hence we draw the
following inferences: Ist. These Pairs should al
ways be held at some central and easily accessible
place, that as many as possible of our citizens may
be induced to attend them. 2o r i. They should be
permanently held at tbe came place, so that the most
ample accommodations in the way of enclosures,
bindings, fixtures, &c., &c., may be provided.
This can never be while year by year, they are
changed from place to plaee. Permanency will se
cure conetant enlargement and improvement, in the
way of accommodations. 3d. The State Legisla
ture should make an annual appropriation of several
thousand dollars to be expended on premiums and
other objects promotive of these ends. The results
to our country weuld repay it a thousand fold. It
is an efficient mode of educating, elevating and re
fining the masses, and advancing the interests cf the
country, which no guardians of the public welfare
should feel at liberty to neglect.”
We hope no sincere friend of the cause of
agricultural improvement and progress iu
Georgia, will countenance any such idea as the
Fairs of the permanently held
at any one point. No greater mistake could
be made in their conduct and management.
The object of Fairs is the promotion of a
general good, which could not possibly be ac
complished without changing erery year, cer
tainly every two years the place of bolding
them. C
This policy will take them all over the State,
when there are railroad facilitea for get.ing
to them; enablo all classes from all seetions
to 'attend them, and enlist tbe sympathies of
tlfe whole people in their behalf, while they
would thus scatter two fold the benefits pos
sible from a single locality.
There are other things in this paragraph
which deserve comma it, but we pass them
over, save the idea of the Legislature giving to
the Association and appropriation oat of the
Treasury for Fairs to be permanently held in
M scon. We are as much in favor of Legisla
tire aid to the cause, as aay one, but when it
is given it mutt be with the express under
standing that the Fairs are to be held in differ
ent sections of tho State. We regard no man
a friend to tke cause, who advocates their per
mauont location at any ono paint, no matter
where that may be, and we caution the true
friends of egrioaltnra! improvement against
any.and all snch moves, bo matter from what
quarter they emanate—generally they will be
found to spring from considerations of per
sonal or sec ional interest.
THINGS IN MILLEDGEVILLE.
Correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel.
MILLCBGEVILIE, Nov. 4, 1851.
A'r. Editor :—Agreeably to adjournment,
the House convened at 10 A. M., and tbe
Journal of yesterday being read,
Mr. McDougald introduced a bill to prevent
the importation or introduction of Negro
slaves into this State, for hire, sale or traffic.
I will give the provisions of this bill when it
shall have passed, should it ever reach that
point. At present, its caption gives a suffi
cisnt idea of its purport.
A resolution, setting apart Monday, the 10th
inst., for the election of State House Officers,
was adopted.
Thera seems to be quite a passion for the
creation of Judicial Circuits. If it should be
gratified to its full extent, and the election of
Judges be given to the people, the chances in
favor of aspirants for the robe and ermine,
will be vqry desirably increased. No less
than three new Circuits are already contem
plated. Mr. McDougald proposes, by bill, to
erect the Counties of Baker, Decatnr, Thomas,
Lowndes, Irwin, Ware and Clinch, into one,
which he has already christened, the Florida
Circuit. Perhaps it would be aa well to
allow the Fioridiana the use of their own
goegraphical attributes, and avail ourselves
of ouj own, which„to say the feast, are fall)'
as sonorous in pronouncing, and gnajestic in
length. I suspect the citizens of that part of
Georgia would prefer the appellation—Okefi-
Gokee Circuit.
Mr. H 11, also proposes, by bill,
to lay off and organize two*gnew Judicial
Circuits. One from the Counties of Carroll,
Campbell, Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, Lump*
kin. Union and Gilmer; and'another Pom
the Counties of Bibb, Houston, Twiggs,
Dooly, Macon and Both to be
attached to the Fourth Supreme Court Jodi*
cial Circuit.
A resolution was agreed to, for the election
of a Judge of the Supremo Court, an Attor
ney General for the Mddle Circuit, and Soli
citors General for the several Circuits in the
State, on Thursday next. This resolution
originally contemplated tiie eleotion of two
Jodgea of the Superior Courts—one in the
Coweta, and the ojmr in the South Western
Circuit. But a bill to alter the Constitution,
so as to give the election of these officers *o
the people, being now before the Legislature,
on ita final passage this portion of the resolu
tion was struck out,.by the very decisive vote
of 76 yeas, to 41 nays.
IN SENATE
A resolution was agreed to, in the 3ena‘e,
rsq tiring the Secretary of State to transmit
to the Legislature all bills in his office, purpos
ing amendments to the State Constitution.
Mr. Calhoun introduced into the Senate a
bill to organise two new Judicial Circuits in
this State, iuentical in its provisions, with tbe
one oi Mr. Hill of Troop, in the House.
Mr. Harman introduced a bill to amend tbe
Penal Code. This bill provides penalties for
tlose who buytyyif also weights and measures.
fn tbe afternoon, both branches of the
Legislature convened in the Representative
Chamber, for thej>urpose of counting out and
consolidating the votes cast at the la e election
for Governor. The official vote, as declared
by (he President of the Senate, to the Gene
ral Assembly, ttxndtthni:
Howell Cobb 67,397
Charles J. McDonald. 33,824
Cobb’s majority 18,671
Mr. Cobb having received a majority of all
tha votes, was declared to be daly elected
Governor of the State of Georgia, for tbe
ensuing two years. A Committee of Ten,
five from eaoh branch of the Legislature, was
then named, to wait on Mr. Cobb, notifying
him of his eieetion, and inquire of him, at what
time he woald attend, to be qualified under the
Constitution. L.

INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE
WITH SOTBS ST HOUAOB UOBXUM.
NO. 2.
Mr. Charity McDonald to Major Jack Hotoxrd.
(1) Mr. Howard, I got’tother day, by the mail,
The letter you wrote me : 1 think you will fail
To get up the party to go to del Cutgo ,
And I doabt very much, Mr. Jack, whether you go.
Os one thing I’m certain, I wish that you would,
For your absence would do to your party much
goed;
Much more, I am sure, than the letters you write,
For your crazy positions will forever affright
Erary sensible men from the cause you eepouse ;
’Tie the cause of confusion, of blood-shed and rows.
I used to think so, in the day a of the tariff,
And would have again, in this instance, I’d swear,
- -if
Yotf had not assured me the people were going
Fisunion- wards fast. You are rather too knowing
•r a man, Mr. Jack, es the cut of yoar coat,
And I’d rather, by far, give a tqaeeze to your throat
Then go to the island with any auoh crew
Asthst which you mentioned as going with you.
Yon deceived mo with blarney, Mr. Howard, you
know,
And you and Seab Jones to the devil asay go.
(2) Theie’a Colquitt, and Cooper, and the late Mr.
Black,
And you and Saab Jones, were the ruin qf Mao.
You started me wrong about the year forty,
And ever since then I’Ve been growing more naugh
ty,
And now I suppose you will turn me adrift,
Since Charley McDonald has got on the lift.
You call mo “dear Charley’—now just, if yon
'please,
C&U me any thing else, or I’ll kick up abretza;
For you’ve got too familiar, Mr. Howard, by half,
And I want none of your ,i dwing t >t nor blarney,
• chsff.
You ajad Cslfuilt, and Jones, are the cause of my
trouble;
May (he sorrows I feol, in your bosoms just t’ooblo.
You fellows were kicked from your party in forty,
And though you’ve been since rather lofty and
haughty,
You wejje humble in spirit, and begged us to let
yot£
Stay with us awhile, and in merey, we met you,
Half dead with the blue*—we protected you then,
In the hope wo aould make of you tolerable man.
But the’Viper, though nursed in the besom, will
strike,
And yourcasea, I think, are not very unlike.
Down, down goca the party you fellows sappert,
And the thing that I hate, Mr. Howard, about it,
You have, dragged me dawn too; does any one
doabj.it 7
You at a loss to aeeoant for the faet
Why tmpeople of Georgia ware not to bo Mucked ,
Especially whan you had writ them that Utter,
In which you instracted them how to do bettor.
(!) Well, i’ll tell yon why ’tw&e they refused to
rate foYme,
Though they knew mo a man of bath smiles and
bonhommie ;
They saw me supported by Colquit end Jones
And you atm seme others, all a host of dry bones,
Who were yitrai*ts hot in the year thirty-three,
And, knowing you scampa leaked for it in me.
(4) Has Colquitt got rid of the Coffin he bore 7
l’mtpld thatjne poacher is getting quite acre
Cadeeming the Coffin he had on his back ;
Weil if you should sea him, juet curse him for
Mao.
Head of Salt River, Oct. 30,1851.
Notes,
1. “Mr. Howard." —Note the difference be
tween the beginning of Jack’s letter and Mac’s.
Jack commenced hia epistle with “Dear Charley,”
and Mac begins his with "Mr. Howard,” and
a little further on tells this gentleman he “wants
none of his dearing .” The truth is, Mac seems
to be in a huff and ascribes all his bad lack to the
clan of Nullifiers who begged admission into the
Democratic ranks in forty, and havo since then
thrust themselves at the head of the party, and
ruined it. In another place Mac tells them they
were “kicked from their party in forty.**
2. •* There’ * Colquit and Cooper and the late Mr.
Black ,
And you and Seab lonee were the ruin of Mac.
Who doubts it ? McDonald, from being a
Federalist, got to be a Democrat. Now this
was all right. Had ho rested here, ’twould
have done very well. But then came in the
baneful influence of Colquitt & Co. dk Co.’s
McDonald, irom being a Federalist ties become
a ring-tailed anarchist, and is now led like a
Lamb to the slaughter, by the very minions of
South Carolina, whom be opposed so bitterly in
1833 Was ever such a metamorphosis known?
3. “ Well Til tell jou why 'lwat they refuted
to vole for me."
The reasons Mac. gives are very correct ones-
I dsiy any party to succeed which has to carry
the dead weight of the Carolina clique inGeor>
gia—the “Celtetiele,” I have hoard them called
in my life.
The late election is a striking proof of what
I say. McDonald was once the most popular
man in Georgia, highly respected and regnrded
by every one as a man. Since he has become a
bugle blower of Disunion for Rhett>-alas how
are the mighty fallen I there is none so poor as
to do him homage, and Cobb beats him by a
majority of eighteen thousand. Had he come
out as a Union Democrat upon the Georgia plat
form, where the people who nominated him
were eipeeted to place him, he might now be
the incumbent of the governor’s chair of Geor
gia. But alas 1—
There’s Colquitt and Cooper and the late Mr.
Black,
And Howard and Jones were the ruin of Mac.”
4.—“ Has Colquitt got rid of the Cojin he
bore 1 ”
Thisjejemnd belligerent gentleman has been
dubbea tne ‘‘Colonel of the Coffin Regiment,”
on account hf Vis proposition to march to tho
line of 36 deg. 3) min. with men who would
carry their coffins on their backs. The disgust
of every man, woman and child mast be exci
ted at such nonsense. And every one whe has
any regard for the purity of the sacred desk
must be shocked when one protessing to be a
master in the precepts of tho meek and lowly
Jeaus, whose kingdom is tho knigdom of peace,
talks of marching against his brother with his
coffin on bis bade. But if there were no par*
son Brownlow to ape, Colquitt ceuld not ape
him.
Gallantby or aw AuEnrcAN Captain. —A
London piper mentions with approval, and aa
an illustration of "American gallantry,'* that
Capt. Nya, ot the United States mail steamship
Pacific, was the first to commence firing a royal
salute of twenty-one guns on the instant of
Qean Victoria’s embarkation at Liverpool.
Catch an American Captain, end above all,
catch Captain Nye, wanting in gallantry when a
pure-hearted lady Is in the case. In ocean
steaming and gallantry no one finds the Captain
of the Pacific lingering in the rear.
Sarin Hcwbbed Cannon at okb Dbvot in
Bostoit Habbok.— For the defence of this port,
and the supply of the United States steamers
sal other vessels stationed here, or built,or to
be built in this quarter of the country, we are
told that there are deposited at tho Navy Yard
atCharlsstown, not less than soven hundred can
non. They are of the most approved model and
description known to military men, have each
been thoroughly tested and proved bv the artil
lery officers and engineers of the General Gov
ernment. Q,uiie a number efthem were cast at
the foundery at South Boston. Some of them
ost t)400 each, if not more. Were their ave
rage price, unmounted, not more than 1300 each,
the expense of the whole would exceed 92,000,-
000 Uoston Atlas.
Montoomkrt and Pensacola Railroad.
The Books for subscription to Stock in this
Road will soon bo opened in Montgomery.
We think the enterprise should commend
itself to the attention of property holders
here. The cost of the Road, from the adapta
tion of the country for Railroads, is obliged
to be much less than that of Railroads geue
ra'ly—and certainly it will be of great impor
tance to the trade and interest of onr City
We hope a liberal spirit will be manifested,
and that the work may go bravely on.— Ala.
