k WEDNESDAY. A 1*1111. 31. 1(149. raosi'uoTus of thb \vebkly qbou GIAN. Thatamutuil dependence rjxUts between the upper •ltd lower potlinm of Uenrgia, Iwtween the rillien of tilt mnunuini ami nf the mutitlr* bordering on llic rilitant Chattahoochee. anil him wlto*e Ini S* rail in the principal Seaport of the flute. where ill* rich prod arts of Genigia seek in nutlet to the ocean, no pntrlntie citizen lithe ymmgort ortho old ihlasrn ran, for a mo merit, doubt. Oar people. spread over nil event of ceuntry, in which there exists every variet. of anil ami climate, have a'community of interna which, if proper ly regarded, and niada M centre u;nj» die welfare of the main, will advamre them in science, wealth and social pmaperity. Our |>e»ple are nut only Agriculturists, an 1 mer- chant*, but many nv« dtvetiiug their attention to manu facture*. We thua wltne** agriculture, couimerce, mid manufacture* proceeding, hand in hand, to make u* a community greut and happy. That Georgia la rapidly reaching that commercial grandeur and independence which her local politico, aa the keystone of the long arch of the maritime states of our Union, aided hy enlightened legislation, must ere long confer upon her, no chiton with the prophetic eye of a statesman can ire uncotncimi* of. It will be our study through the column* of the Georgian not only to spread hefote tire render tire latest foreign and domestic intelligence, not only to inform him on national and state politic*, but to convince hitn that the first duty of the citizen, .concurrent with the ■welfare of his immediate family, is torultivntr* on abid ing attachment to the institutionsofhis unlive Stoic and encourage lliatspirit which will eventually make Geor gia assume that rank ns nn independent state of this confederacy, which her noble advantages, Undeveloped by the patriotism and enterprise of her sons, cannot fail to secure to her. As auxiliary to the general prosperity of our belov ed State we would cherish a reciprocal feeling be tween the citizens of every section of our State, and seek by fact# to convince every native and adopted son of Georgia, that no Slate in the Union contains more elements of social happiness,—none a more fa vorable position to be independent, as she should, of those who seek (and in some measure with success) of making her tributary to their prosperity. To effect this, the Georgian will refer, on proper oc casions, to her own Savannah, the ancient city of the State, ami invite the notice of the citizen of the interior to her improvement, which from her commanding situ ation, has been gradualy onward, and in recent years astonishing Exporting from her wharves near tiztten millions in value of the staples of the State, she is yet but little known to a large portion of the Agriculturist* of Georgia; and the merchants of me interior, in many instances, pass her tu swell the prolits of the Northern capitalist, aud thus compel the purchaser within our limits to pay twenty per cent to our Northern brethren for tlioie manufactures which coaid be furnished by our own citizens. Shall Gcorgiutts submit longer to this onerous tax upon their iutusiry? The patriotic re sponse will be an emphatic—No I One million, two hundred thousand dollars, are thus paid as a tax by the consumers of Georgia, and not one year only, but every year. It requires isttie redaction to peiceive iiow our pockets luve contributed tu amass the wealth of tiie money kings of the Norm, how their cities have beceiuo splendid, and their public works magnificent. New York, the great city of a great State, exports but/oio* millions more than savannah, w.iile her im portations exceed tnose of oavu mail nearly COO. Tiie protits ou these vast importations, beyond the consumption of New Fora, would accrue to me con s'Jtnersof me articles, if tuoy were tlie.r own import If we look nt die shipping owned in Savannah, (which exceeds dint owned hy the merciiam* of uny Atlantic port South of ihu O.iesupcuKe) and employed by liur merchants, a moment's i eduction will convince our ren ders in the interior that tiie enterprising merchants op this city are uble with their own voxels to transport u large portion uftho exporting trade of Gem-gin. mid the numerous ships mid miiei wpi-iru rigged vessels, wuicii during the business so.isou it .wd tier wharves, in pur suit ol freights lor Europe.would assist in bringing hack to her shores the tich return cargoes demanded by the wants of our imputation. We would oesire too to direct the attention of our follow citizens in the interior to the rapid advancement of tneir Seaport within tne las eignt years. In IddtJthe population of me city, exclusive oi the county of Chutiiniu. was 7778. In Jii.!8 it hud in creased to Id, 73d, being un udililiou of more than sixty per rent, (exclusive of u transient population f.nm November to March of about SIUUU more,) nod in the three years ending in August lust upwurdn of ItlO build ings (many of them brick) of various sizes have been erected in the city and subuihx, (several of t.iem im posing fireproof, ware house*, enpai le of storing large quantities of cotton.) while since that period many sub stantinl edifices liuvu been raised. Ono thousand felt of new wharves have also been recently reclaimed from t'te river for this use of the city, and eighteen steam, rice and raw mills, have hoc i ' erected within the past ten years in the city and its immediate vicinity—five of them having been raised within the last two years- The value of liar real estate has thus materially improved, us evhiced by the high rents and the still increasing demand for houses, sensi bly augmenting the ordinary sources of the city’s rove nue. If we turn to the river and enter into detail., we see twenty two steamboats, belonging to this port with an aggregate tonnage of 3701 51-93, and engines of 1021 horses power, besides many plying on our wn. ters and trading hero which bail from other pinres, a* • Charleston and Darien. We see n'.nnthlrty-scvcn square rigged vessels owned in whole or in part in Savannah, of which eighteen are ships of the largest doss, aver aging more than five hundred tons. We would also point to our Rail Road, which is now travelled by l comatiee more titan sixty miles, and 1ms been graded for 103 miles, and under contract for 132 from the city In this work our city ns a corporation, have embarked, half a million of dollars, besides extensive private sub scriptions on tiie part of our citizeu*. We merely glance at these facts,that our fellow coun tryincn of interior Genrgin may perceive that tiie prosperity of Savannah is substantial.

The State's counsel placed every juror upon Ids voire, dire, nud peremptorily challenged four. The prisoner placed none on his noire dire and peremp torily challenged two juror*. Tho usual questions being put to eachjur ir on hi* vni-e dire, nil with a few exception*, acknowledged that they had formed nnd expressed nn opinion os to the innocence or guilt of tho accused. But one or two jurors were therefore sworn, and the Court decided that the ca*o must be continued, ns it was too late in the term to procure another panel.
