Strang Jlispatdr. Al'dl'STA, GKO: Friday Evening, Nov. 5, 1*39. Editorial Correspondence. MuiEiXJKViuuE, Nov. 3. 1858. The General Assembly of the State of Georgia convened at the Capitol at ten o’clock this morning". In the Senate, the President, Hon. John E. Ward, tendered his resigna tion, on account of the evident diversi ty of opinion in reference to the ten ure of office under the change to an nual sessions. Mr. Reynolds, of New ton, was called to the Chair pro tern., and' the oath of office was administered to the following new members, by Hon Joseph H. Lumpkin, of the Supreme Court Bench : Wilcoxon, of Coweta, Holcombe, ol Cherokee, Graham, of Dawson, Slaugh ter, of Dougherty, Wilcher, of Glass cock, Tison, of Glynn, Javrard, of Hab ersham, Young, of Irwin, Fields, ol Milton, Donaldson, of Pierce, Bozeman, of Tuiaski, Adams, of Rabnn, Hixon, of Schley, Lazenby. of Warren, McDuf fie, of Wilcox, and Williams, of \\ bite. The Secretary, Messenger and Door keeper, also tendered their resignation, when the officers of the last session were unanimously re-elected by ballot. On taking his seat, President Ward re turned his thanks to the body in a very chaste and appropriate manner. Pending the election of Secretary, Briscoe, of Baldwin, announced his pur pose to introduce a resolution to the tenure of the old officers. Speaker Ward took occasion to say that lie concurred in the decision of the Supreme Court—that the Senate meeti as the same body with the same officers as before, hut he had resigned to re move any possible doubts, in the mind* of some, as to the legality and proprie ty of retaining the old officers, and as all the officers had resigned, the resolu tion of Mr. Briscoe was out of order. On motion, Cone, of Bullock, Fields of Cherokee, and Reynolds, of Newton were appointed a committee to join t committee from the House (whoso or ganization had already been announced to inform Gov. Brown that the Genera Assembly was organized and ready ti receive his message. In the House the roll was called by the Clerk, and the following new mem brrs presented their credentials, am: such as were present, received the oatt of office at the hands of Speaker Uu derwood. Colquitt; of Baker, Colley, of Cal houn, Heard, of Dawson, Logne, of Glasscock, Harris, of Glynn, Allan, of Habersham, Downing, of Irwin, Jones, of Mitchell, Webb, of Milton, Sweat, of Pierce, Smith, of Randolph, Ed wards, of Schley, Lazenby, of Warren, Brantly, of Ware, Fortner, of Wilcox, West, of White. The Doorkeeper being absent, John P. Cobb, of Gilmer, was appointed Doorkeeper pro lan. The Senate was then informed that the House was organized and ready tc proceed to business. During the interval occupied in the organization of the Senate, membere were occupied in reading the papers and eating pea-nuts, while the new mem bers surveyed the decorations of the Hall, and speculated on their chance for seats in a room already somewhat crowded. After the organization of the Senate was announced, a committee, was ap pointed, consisting of Smith of Towns, Milledge of Richmond and Colquitt of Baker, to join the Senate Committee in waiting on the Governor, to--inform him of their readiness to receive his Message. Both houses passed a resolution invi ting Editors and members of the Press to seats on the floor of each body. A motion, by Lewis of Hancock, to confer with the Editors of the city, to see what it would cost to furnish eacli member with copies of their papers, was lost—Hardeman of Bibb recom mending that members subscribe for them, and pay for them out their own pockets, 'the Message was received about twelve o'clock,and read in both houses. The House adjourned until to mor row morning at 9 o’clock, a. m. In the Senate the death of Gen. Coffee, a member from Faburn,was announced, and brief eulogies were pronounced, by Jarrard of Habersham, Thomas of Gwinnett, and Billups, of Morgan. The Senate adjourned until to morrow morn ing at 10 o’clock. The attendance of outsiders is still very limited, and the hotels are not full. I notice Ex-Governor Johnson, Hon. A. R. Wright, Hon. B. H. Hill,and a number of others, well known in the State among the arrivals to day. I am pleased to observe that as usual, members are anxious to secure the Au gusta dailies during the session,and the -Dvspaich has already a large list of sub scribers here. It is but justice that I should say, as a reason why the message does not ap pear with this number, that I had been led to rely on getting early copies from the daily in this city, but they have dis appointed me. The Campbell Minstrels perform to night. Dr. Barker, the Phrenologist, is in town, and will commence a course of lectures soon. Yours, A. • TniasDAV, Nov. 4, 1-8-38. ] SENATE. After the call of the 101 l and reading of the minutes, the Governor’s message was referred to the proper committes, the President stating Unit the old com- 1 mittees might regard themselves re-ap- j pointed. On motion, it was afterward | resolved to re-appoint them, on account! of the new members. Harris, of Merriwcther, offered a res-1 olutiou, directing the Secretary of State J to furnish the Senate with copies of all bills altering or amending the Con stitution, whereon a question arose as to the right of the present session to make such alteration. The President decided such Bill in order. The mo tion was lost. The rules of the last session were adopted. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays: were announced as the times to intro-! ducc new matter. Among the matter on the call of the counties, wc note : A bill, l>y Beall, of Warren, to make a new county, from the counties of Warren, Columbia, Jefferson and Rich mond. By Hill, of Harris, to amend the stat ute in reference to the manumission of slaves. By Quillian, of Gilmer, to give aid to the Elijay railroad.

Also, to alter the Ist section and 3d article of the Constitution, so as to au thorize the reduction of the Judges of Inferior Courts, &c.

In the afternoon a committee from 1 the Senate waited upon the Governor and Board of Trustees of Franklin Col lege, announcing that the Senate was ready to rectivp them, and resolve it self into a Benatus Academicus. . At twelve minutes past three the. Governor took the Chair, and announced that the Senatus Academicus was ready ' to proceed to business. The roll of the Board of Trustees was! 1 called, and the minutes of the last ses-i sion were read. The report of Dr. Church, President of Franklin College was called for, and j read. He reported that one hundred and eight students had been connected with : the college during the year, and that; the good conduct of the young men j had been unprecedented, in the history : of the College. The religious revival in Athens had resulted in a very grati fying influence upon the young men of the college. He presented the claims of the col lege to endowment as a University, in order to give to such as desire to pnr- sue a course of study above the usual educational facilities of our colleges, 1 an opportunity to do so without going abroad. He considered the property * of the College, consisting of buildings, library, and aparatus now-worth $275,- : 000. It was designed as a University,j c and this property would he valuable as i * a basis for carrying out its original pur- ■ pose. It would not injure, but rather *■ benefit the denominational Colleges. ■ e He also urged the importance of a Common School system. He proposed that the State lie divided j into school districts six miles square, c with school houses near the centre of *- each, without reference to county lines. Estimating the number of children be- c tween 5 and 15 years of age at 187,000,1 1 tlie average number of scholars in each ; j would be 60. He believed that the ex-11 penseof teachers would not be over $250 ! * each, and that with two Normal Shools, one in the lower, and one in the upper a part of the State, teachers might he oh tained at S2OO a year. I presume his plan will be published at an early day. At the close of his report, Dr. Church announced his intention to resign the Presidency of Franklin College at the close of the collegiate year. The report was refered to the Senate. ! Hon. Win. Dougherty urged in a very j forcible manner, the necessity of the report of the condition of the educa- I tional interests of every county in the State, to this body. In view • j of which the call for reports was post poned until to-morrow. Hon. I>. W. Lewis of Hancock offered i a resolution that a committee of one , from each Congressional District, he ap pointed to prepare a report to he made to the body to morrow, devising a Com mon School system, lie prefaced his : remarks with a very warm endorsement : of the recommendations of the Gover i! nor in his annual message, and an earn - est appeal in behalf of the cause of cd j ucation. ■ ! Mr. Bartlett of Jasper proposed .that three members of the Board of Trustees -of Franklin College be added to the f committee, and named Dr. Church, ■ Judge Lumpkin and Wm. Dougherty as the committee. On motion it was . amended so as to add Lewis of Han s cock to tlie committee. Gov. Brown added Gov. Johnson to the committee. I Bartlett of Jasper hoped some of the distinguished gentlemen present would , express their views on the great ques . tion of education. Hon. Joseph Henry Lumpkin offered a resolution that a committee of three .: suitable persons be appointed to devise i a plan for the endowment of a State ,! University. He enforced the resolution !in an eloquent appeal in behalf of . j home education, which elicited the .; warmest applause, i The resolution passed unanimously. The committee from the several dis ,. tricts in accordance with the resolution 1 of Mr. Lewis was announced as follows: .! Ist. John E. Ward, of Chatham J 2d. P. H. Colquitt, of Muscogee. , 3d. Thos.

Gresham, of Burke, j The Semttus Academicus adjourned till -J to-morrow morning, at 10o’clock. There is a manifest determination to . 'do something this session in behalf of an educational system. ' IIOrSE or REPRESENTATIVES. In the House this morning the rules were sustained in order to the introduc- I tion of new business, when sundry bills were offered and read the first time. As it is not my object to report minutely, | all the local bills and trivialities of the j ! session, I shall only give the points of: such hills and general proceedings as 1 are likely to he worth the space they | will occupy as matter of interest to our ’ readers. It is well known that the jour nals of Gill' Legislature are always bur- j dened with a mass of special legislation ' of interest only to the parties and which I might in the judgement of many, he: very properly confided to some other tribunal. At the same time, it will be ; my object to embrace in my reports all j that is of interest in the actual doings j j of the Legislature, and to spice them ! with outside gossip,and personal sketch-' 1 es of those who figure in the General ! Assembly, and thus in some measure re : lieve them of the monotony of a mere : copy of the journal 3. Mr. Gordon offered a resolution that I no new matter he introduced into eith er branch of the General Assembly after! ! Ist December. Mr. Pickett of Gilmer, reported a bill | 1 to be entitled an act to establish a gen- j 1 cral system of education, &c. j By Hardeman of Bihb,a bill to relieve | j John Green and Rebecca Green of Bibb j ■ from tie pains and penalties of adulte- 1 j ry and bigamy. If this bill passes, there ought to he! I a large emigration to Salt Lake iinme i | diately after the adjournment of the j I Legislature. A hill was introduced by Mr. Wilkes to establish,a hoard of education in Lfu-! coin county. By Mr. Davis of Warren to explain the meaning of the act of December, 5, 1801, for manumitting slaves. By Mr. Luffman, a bill to abolish im prisonment for debt. By Mr. Mutt, to amend the charter of 1 the city of Columbus. By Mr. Milledge of Richmond, a hill 1 to prevent the unnecessary increase of j Bank and Railroad charters, by requir- j :ng persons desiring the'same to give certain notice of intended application to the Legislature. By Lewis of Green, an act to insure the speedy collection of money due on execution. On motion of Mr. Bigham, it was Resolved , That a committee of five be appointed by the Speaker to revise the Rules of the House, and report such changes as the recent alterations in the Constitution may require. He also offered the following, which , on motion of Diamond, of DcKalb, was referred to the Judicairy Committee. ' Resolved, That after the first Monday in each second or subsequent session of , the General Assembly, all bills or reso lutions and reports, originating in the House, and layiug over undetermined, to the next session, be resumed and , acted upon the same as if an adjourn- p ment had not taken place. ] Bv Fain, of Union, a bill to regulate l< the trial of civil and criminal causes in the several courts, See. By Price, of Pickens, a hill to aid in the construction of the lClijay railroad. A resolution, by Hughes, of Liberty, was passed to entertain no bill to divide a county without the consent of the members front such county, unless the residents of said county petition fur the same—was passed. A resolution, by Price, of Piclccns, asking the influence of our delegation in Congress to get a semi-wceklv “two horse mail,’’ from Elijay to Canton, via . Jasper and Ball Ground - passed. House adjourned to 0 o clock, P. M. In the afternoon the House passed sonic resolutions on the following de , ceased members : Moore of Glynn, Ju lien of Forsyth, and Jones of Warren Lewis of Green and Gordon of Savan : nah pronounced brief eulogies on Moore ;of Glynn, and Milledge of Richmond, land Hillyer of Walton paid eloquent . j tributes to the memory of Julien of . I Forsyth—when the House adjourned. Yours, A. l)r. ( liui'cli. >! From our editorial correspondence *! from Milledgeville, it will be seen that ■! Dr. Church has tendered his resignation 1 j to the trustees of the State University, ■ ! to take effect at the end of the present -! collegiate year, after a connection of 40 * l years with that Institution. ! A Cemetery without n Jttomimeiit. The noblest of cemeteries is the ‘ ocean. Its poetry and human language, j i ever will be unwritten. Its elements of » sublimity are subjects of-feelings, not i description. Its records, like the re* 1 ! flection mirrored on its waveless bosom, i cannot be transferred to paper. Its f j vastness, its eternal lieavings, its ma jestic music, in a storm and in its perils, ' i are things which I had endeavored a thousand times to conceive, but until IJ was on its mighty bosom, looking out I l upon its moving mountain waves, feel- j ting that eternity was distant from mej 1 j the thickness of a single plank, I had : j tried in vain to feel and know the glo-| j ries and grandeur of tin* sea. 1 there first felt what John of Patmos meant ■ j when lie said of heaven, “ There shall j |be no more sea.’’ But there is one ele*| | ment of moral sublimity which im-j (pressed my mind, and which I .should; be pleased if I could transfer, in all its vividness, to the mind of the reader. j [The sea is the largest of cemeteries, and i all its slumberers sleep without a mon-j ument. All other graveyards, in all lands,! show some symbols of distinction be tween the great and the small, the rich j and the poor ; but in that ocean ceme- 1 tery the king and the clown, the j prince, the peasaut, arealike undistin-j guished, the same wave rolls over all, j the same requiem, the minstrelsy of ocean, is sung to their honor. Over, tneir remains the same storm beats and the same sun shines ; and there, un- j i marked, the weak and the powerful, . the plumed and the unhonored, will j isleep on until awakened by the same! trump, the sea will give up its dead. 1 I j thought of sailing over the slumbering r but devoted Cookman, who after his j brief but brilliant career, perished in : the President—over the laughter-loving ; Power; who went down in the same ill fated vessel we have passed. In that cemetery sleeps the accom-j i plished and pious Fisher ; but where he, j and thousands of others of the noble; I I spirits of earth lie, no one but God knoweth. No marble rises to point out i where the lover of the good and wise ; ! can go on and shed their tears of sym ' pathy. Who can tell where lies the tens of thousands of Afric’s sons who 1 perished in the middle passage ?” Vet that cemetery had ornaments of which *no other are the heavenly orbs reflect jed in such splendor. Over no other are jso many inimitable traces of the power, of Jehovah. Never can I forget my days and nights as I passed over the noblest of cemeteries without a single human monument. Gila. Firemen’s Row in Philadelphia.— ln : Philadelphia, on bund ay last, as the Washington engine company was pro ceeding to a lire, a murderous assault] was made upon the members, who were few in number, by a party lying in wait at Sixteenth and Pine streets, armed with pistols. Numerous dis charges were made, but no one was shot. Several of the bullets struck the! (engine. Ibe Washington members fled from the apparatus, which was: 1 then taken possession of by the assail 'ants. They returned, however, in a* (few minutes, and drove eff the rioters. Three arrests were made. Thomas! Robinson was held in SI,OOO to answer; I the charge of inciting a riot, and John j , Fleming the charge of carrying a con- j coaled deadly weapon. — : The Debt of Nashville. —The city ,of Nashville, Tenn., it is said, owes a i funned debt of $002,500; a total debt of $805,388. Its means of every de scription are put down at $841,350; the revenue this year is estimated at $100,130. The liabilities for the pre sent year, exclusive of ordinary expen ses, are put down at $154,770, and the ordinary expenses are at least $120,000 I —so the deficiency at the end of the present fiscal year will be $107,040.

Sad Death.— The Petersburg Express notices the death of little Martha El len Farley, daughter of Mr. John A. Farley, of that city, which transpired on Friday night lust. It appears that several days previous she was engaged at play with a little neighbor, and fell backwards on the ground, and besides dislocating her spine, injured the back : part of her head so seriously that she was taken with the locked jaw, and suffered the in tensest pain until the hour of her death.
