Reduction.—'This subject is, s* It should, awaking
the attention Of the people hi the upper counties of the
state. Our increased labor* of late attendant upon the
li.ue of a Weekly paper have allowed us no leisure to
writ* on this subject, Ulit we shall he able in a few days
to present our views to the readers of the Georgian.
All must acknowledge the necessity of reduction in
the number of hmli branches of uur General Assembly
In the next Legislature there will bo under tho Isle
Count*, 300 members, whose daily compensation, al
lowing five dollars for 55 days (the duration of last #es
ston) will requite 382,500 from the Slate Tronsury, be
sides the contingent oxpcm>es of clerk* and other offi
cers, statjnnaty. An.
The great expense of this multitude nflegUUtorsl*
a sufficient inducement to arouse the people to the ne
ccssiiy of reduction, but if they consider that a do
crease of member* will.probably, lead to more ini-
|ionant result* they cannot but bo sensible of the ne-
washy of a change. The house with about 180 mem
bers (according to the previous census) was found an
unwieldy body for the transaction of business, although
at many periods of the session thcro were as many as
forty members absent at home and elsewhero attending
to private business-
Reduce the number and we contend that tlte inter
ests of the State will be promoted, while the reapotui
bility of the members will be increased. ,We are not
among those few whn believe that there ia more dan
ger that a smaller number wijl he more liable to the
influence ol corruption, for wo do not believe, in the
first place, that there is so little virtue in the people
that their Representatives from their midst would be
liahlo to the control of the. designing, and even if such
were the case, the evil is otto which can bo corrected
at the polls, if not crushed in the bud by the virtuona
and independent, in the Halls of the Legislature. Be
side* if the Presa is fearless, its tones will striko ter
ror in the hearts of those disposed for self aggrandize
ment to disregard the interests of their State and
couutry.—But we must arrest for the present, our re
marks, and give them more full hereafter—In the
meantime we hope to see Eastern and Southern Coun
ties moving on this subject.

THE WEATHER.
The 4th of March seems marked in the calendar for
extraordinary changes. The closing of the three Con

the phenomenon of a fait of snow in Charleston. The
change yesterday from the temperature of the preened-
lag day, as an unexpected a* unwelcome. Thedlf-
i Jizrenee of temperature between Sunday morning and
Monday, could not be leas than 33 degrees, deeprned

STEAM MILLS ON THE ALATAMAHA.
We find that tlte Million the AlnUmaha, especially
about Darien, are doing n very large buziness. The
Upper Steam Mill, above the town, now owned by
Messrs. TunNF.it A Jnll.v-TON are in successful opera-
inn, and we know that tltn mill is oipnble of supplying
the most extensive order*. Tito Lower Steam Mill lias
been recently purchaned by S. U. JEWETT. Esq., iff
the Georgia Lumber Company, and will soon be able
to meet the demands for siwed lumber. Mr. .1 kwett
in very extensively known, ns the most uclive and en
terprising agent of the Company located at Lumber
City, in Telfair rounty, formerly known as Flournoy's
Mills. Under his auspic s, we have no doubt the'
lower mill will become a very profitable and thriving
establishment. Among other improvements, wo may
notice the art, that a fine new steamboat plies between
.Darien and Lumber City constantly, she is called tlte
Simeon B. JtWKit, and belong* to the Georgia Lutn.

their works, who npw.r a day’s labour
Many young men.Trt Indigent circumstances, who
wanted every tiling but bread, which in our country-
it ia scarcely possible t • want, now join with tlte nor
thern labourer . employed there, am! have become
diligent and anxious to learn. The consequence is,
that n great improvement i* taking place in the habits
of the population. Ci.ee Mollies* end industry generally
walk hand in hand ; and many whu, three or Tour years
ago, had ne er earned a dollar, have now, by tlieir
own exertion*, become possessed of sums which to
them, nro little fortunes 5 and have settled down a use
ful members of society. Much, if not the whole of
this change, is dun to the Georgia Lumber Company;
and such establishments deserve well of the 8t te at
large.
Our fine rivers and inland streams, offer great in*
dneomeut* lor the erection of machinery, worked by
water (tower, nnd the vast forextt of pine lumber
which we have yet umouclteJ, affords a wide field o
the capitalist.
We have been informed that tlte orders for lumber
which the Georgia Lumber Company has to fill during
the current year, will bring at least 100 sail of foreign
and native vessels to tlte port of Darimi. and this must,
of course, greatly add to tl>e importance of tit t place
We know the place well, and all its resources, nnd
speak confidently when we say, that Darien must yet
three itself un the < ttetttion of tlte State. It has great
mutual advantages, which if properly used, and brought
to light, must ensure it distinction, We Lelies
lu her market, Darien will shortly be superior o any
port in 1I10 South, nnd thin alone must make itconspi
cuouft.
A# wo have remaiked before, the prosperity of tltu
whole State is Hear to us, and that of Darien, as inti-
mately wound up with nur own Savann h.especially so.
and we shall lose no opportunity fpi easing oil nur res'
dera the legitimate claims of that jil.ee to t..e attention
of the citizens of Georgia.
AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN.
The frieudly rel.ui ms that have existed between
the English Government and that of tlte United Sues
fur a series of years, is unw, ui cuusequeuca of the utt-
settlement of tne Maine Boundary’Question, inpucpsl
danger of interruption. It is then, worth our while to
bestow a few rellecituus on the leciing that animates
the penp.e of built countries, who are of one common
descent, who ape k tlte same language, and whose
habits mid inmi.ier* differ but very hltte.
At the lime ill winch we write, me most kindly spirit
exists in tins country towards me English pe pie. With
the exception of u few turhuieiit individua.* un our
frontiers, who have nothing to wise, and every thing lo

tives of the United Kingdom, nnd tier dependencies.
Tnis is exemplified by me courtesy tliatis invuna-ly ex
tended to English travellers, end me reudiness with
which the rights and pri iieges of citizenship are con
ferred on ah who desire to live under me paternal
away of our free government. Indeed, it has been
said, thai^Aliter.cutis urc too prone to make much of
strangers—that they too frequently open their minds in
every travelling foreigner, woo lias no sympathy with
them 01 their ltiililutious. But, while we admit the
tact, we do not set it down us a fault. It is a pari of
tlte national character to lie generous and confiding, as
the truly brave ever are—to demand nothing hut wlta t
J* right—to submit lo mulling that is wrong. What if
sume hull'dozen Tkollopcls, or Halls, or HaUIL-
tons, or FlDDLeus, did abuse uur conriiejce, and en
deavour to caricature us! Why, a fig for them! They
mixed up much truth with a great deal of tsiseuuod;
ami, if they will, luey taught us better msimeis. Wo

to to)*, to want, and ride, by ru.e peruupi, but wuen

SAVANNAH LIBRARY SOCIETY.
On visiting the new rooms of this society, the other
Hay, wa were much struck with the excellent arrange-
menu that prevailed throughout the apartments. A
gteat improvement has taken place in this institution,
and the change is worthy of notice. During tlte year
ending February 1.3,1838, but 500 volumes were taken
out to lead 1 and die library was only opened during
two huurs, twice a week No addition in the way of
new works was made to the library during tho year.
Tlte cuuses liiat operated most strongly against tho
prosperity of the institution,was iu funner inconvenient
location in a suburb of llie city, and also the abort
time it waa kept open during die week. As might he
expected, the society fell into debt, and in Februnry,
183d, it owed 4487 591 and very few strangers visited
it during that year.
The removal of the library lo iu present rentral sit-
nation, in Whitaker street, near the Boy, ha* greotly
advanced it* interests. Besides, a new spirit seem* to
ltn ve beeu instil.ed in its memln rs, and they have cum
meticedtlic work of renovation wiiha hearty good will-
Tne first room entered is the reading room, which is
accessible to stranger* on die introduction of amiemher
who record* their names in a book kept for tlte purpose,
and during the last year it was visited by 245 non real-
denu. Theliorary is kept in an adjoining room of very
large dimensions, and both rooms are neatly furnished-
with good fires itt them. A fine statue of die Venus de
Medici, prenentrd to the society, adorns the rending
room, [t is an exquisite work of art, and a visit to die
rouiti would be well repaid by a view of it alone. In
tho library, there are busU of Milton, Locke, Ac. like-
wise gilts to the society, and every thing is tastefully
and classically arranged.
The members have increased, nnd there are now
seventy members and forty two subscribers. There
were 1609 volumes issued during the Lit year, allow
ing an inuteaseof 1109 on the farmer year. There list
also been nn addition to the library of 290 new wurks,
and it now contains 4000 volumes.
Thu advantage* which an institution of thin kind
presents to the student nre manifold,ami we would wish
to see all the young men of our city turning tlieir ntten»
doit to iL It may not hold out a* brilliant allurements
to the thoughtless mid lighthearted, na plica* of public,
amusement, hut its benefit* will be more lasting. With
jarge support, Savannah can have a library that tnay
be compared with other cities; and we believe that it
ta only ueceaaary to draw dm notice of tlte public, to
the nucleus already formed, to increase it tenfold. The
institution baa our best wishes, and its present admir

stand that printed catalogues will shordy be furnished

My Dear
Bv toe arrival of the packet Independence. I have
the New York papers ol'the Till iust. abounding with
llie most Hcniidiilouscuijectures, in respect to my visit
U) this country.
Ti.eviiciimstanres inducin',* it were wholly of a pri
vate nature, and would not on pain nf the must unspa
ring obloquy, seem tu require a bill of particulars.
But 1 deem it to be my duty In unite to you, that the
charge of my being a defaulter in office is wholly un
founded. Thai in the Uni live years millions ut gov-
uniKicnt claims linve been deposited with me li.r I'ol
lection, a d dint upon the adjustment of my claims upon
government for their pmsccut on nnd 10.lection the
balance will be adjudged tube against the government.
It lias been too much the fashion of the limes to con
demn public agents upon ex-par c statements.
Atleusttwo ineinoruble cases in the Union are re
corded, of district attorneys of the United State* held
up to public execration as defaulters, who alter investi
gation of llie charges against them, were signally re
warded with a public expression of tlieir fcdow-citi-
son*.
Ii is not exactly fair to precede trial by condemnation
and I ran only for the present assureyou, that if my just
claims nre allowed, die government will have nsfittle
cause as, I think, individuals ever had, of complaining
of my adminirtration of the office I have recently resign-

Dull accounts from Mrtticlicsier und twelve mills are

Tlte bank and moneyed men in London regard with

to and do cheek it whenever nnd wherever it appears.
LIVERPOOL, Feh. 0, 1839.
Our Cotton market is very henvy and about J<l pci lb.
lower tliaii nn the QUtft ult. too date of our Inst circular,
per Great Wes era. Tito state of trade in the maim-
incutring district# is still discouraging, and thu con
sumer# oqntittue tu oanl'mo tlieir piitcTnisu# tothe sup
ply of their immediate wants, having taken since tlte
lirstof the year only at tho rate of about 14,500 bale#
per week. Thu decided account* of the great dell
ciency in the crop of the United State#, the limited sup
plies into tlieir port# nt the last accounts, and the light
import here continue tn give firmness tn bolder# pretty
generally sn that thcro ltn# been nn large quantity
pressing on the market. The snle# for tlte week ended
la inst. mummied lo 19,240 hales, of which 8060 were
Upland at 7}ai)$d—5820 Orloans nt 7ja9j—1960 Ala
bama and Mobile at 7lii8j}, aud 120 Ben Island at
2Ua26d pur III. about 0500 bales were taken on spec
ulation. The business for three days ended last even
ing, ih estimated at UUOO bales and 2U 00 of it tn specula
tors.
The Corn markrts continue to dcclino and Wheat 1*
ngnin about Cd per bushel lowrt'. The Inst aggregate
overage of wheat is 10 9 per quarter,hut the lost Liver
pool weokly ovorugo in 08 3, and tho probability is that
the dutios Will advance in March. Flour is nearly un
saleable—the qunuiliun for the recent import* is 40a4J
por barrel, but it must be considered nominal.
LIVERPOOL. Fob. 6, 1839.
We continue to hnve a quiet Cotton market, widt
hardly any alteration iu prices, the chiel'salos of Ameri
can, bring nl ?3u8jd per lb. The snlc# of the week
ending the 1st inst. were only 19,200 halos, nf which
5,700 were taken hy speculators, and since then, the
demand has beon on tho auine diminished scale.
Spinner# and manufacturers complain that they have
n bad irsdu in Yarn# ami Goods, tlte stocks orwhich
are accumulating mid that llioy are cariying on busi
ness to a considerable loss while cotton continues so
high; they therefore mo only purchase sparingly, but
iu some instances nre #burienin^ their hours of work.
Several spinners aro now working only eight hours a
day instead nf twelve, which ofcourso materially les
sens lit# consumption. Holders of cotton do not at
present feel disposed to give way in price, under the
impression that your crop will prove n short one, but
we doubt if price# can be supported when supplies
come Toward more freely. Uniterm tlte import has
been very light, but within tlm last few days we have
had considerable arrivals.
