PROSPECTUS OF THI WEEKLY GEOR

tha mountains and of the countie* borderiaf no the

Htbee ofthe youngest ofthe oMtitowa can. for a mo

country, in which there exist* every variety of aoil and
climate, have a community of into re it which, if proper-
y regarded, and made to centre upon the welfare of
|the mas*. will advance them In science, wealth and
social prosperity.
Our people are not only Agriculturists, and mor
chants, bat many are diverting their attention to tnanu.
factore*. We that witness agriculture, commerce, and
\
manufactures proceeding, hand in band, to make us a
community great and happy.
That Georgia la rapidly reaching that commercial
grandeur and independence which her Ural position
aa the keystone ofthe long arch ofthe maritime states
of our Union, aided by enlightened legislation, mnu
ere long.oonfer upon her, no citizen with the prophetic
•ye of a statesman eaube uncotucioa* of.
It will be our study through the columns of the
Qsorgtsu not only to spread befote the reader the latest
foreign and dome»tic intelligence, not only to inform
him on national and itate politics, but to convince him
that the first duty of the citizen, concurrent with the
welfare of his Immediate family, is toeulti vnte an ahid-
ng attachment to the institutionsofliisnative State and
Woursge that spirit, which will eventually make Geor.
gia assume that rank as an Independent state or this
confederacy, which her noble advantage., ifdeveloped
by the patriotism and enterprise of her aon., cannot rail
■ k> secure to her. , ./
As auxiliary to the general prosperity of our buloy
e d Bute we would cherish'a reciprocal feeling be-
ween the cltlaeua of every aection of our State, sod
seek by facts to convince, every native and adopted
■on of Georgiy that no State in the Union contains
more elements’^ social happlne**,—none a more fa
vorable position to be independent, as site should, ot
those who seek (and in some measure with success) of
making her tributary to their prosperity.
To effect thia. the Georgian will refer, on proper oc-
c as ions, to her own Savannah, the ancient city of Ute
Suit, and invito the notice ofthe citizen ofthe interior
to her improvement, which from her commanding situ,
alion, has been gradually onward, and lit recent years
astonishing Kaporting from Iter wharves near shtssn
million in value ofthe siaptea of die State, she is yet
but little known to a large portion of the Agriculturists
of Georgia j and die merchants or die interior, in many
instances, pass her to awell the profits of die Northorn
capitalist, and dins compel die purcha*er within our
limits to pay twenty per cent to our Northern brethren
(br those mauufhctures which could be furnished by our
own citizens. Shall Georgians submit longer to tills
onerous tax upon their industry? The patriotic re-
pome will be an emphadc—No!
On million, two kindred thousand dollars, ure thus paid
aa a tax by the consumers of Georgia, and not one year
only, but every year. It inquires little relluction/to
petceive how our pockets have contributed to mhais
the wealth of the money kings of the North, how their
cities have beoeme splendid, and their public works
magnificent.
New York, the great city of a great 8tato, exports
but four millions more dun Savannah, while iter im-
purtatlons exceed those of Savannah nearly •100.000.-
000. The profits on these vast importations, beyond
the consumption of New York, would accrue to the con
sumers of the articles, if dtey were their own import-
If we look at die shipping owned in Savannah,)whicli
exceeds thnt owned by. the merchants of any Atlantic
port South of dte Chesapeake) and employed by her
merchants, a moment’s reflection will convince our rea-
ders in tho interior that the enterprising merchants of
Util city are able with their own vessels to transport a
large portion of tho exporting trado of UeorgU. nnd the
numerous ship* and odter square rigged vessels, which
during the business season crowd her wharves, in pur
suit of freights for Europe.would assist in bringing back
to her shores the licit return cargoes demanded,by die
wants of our population. We would desire too to direct
the tuendon of our felinw citizens in the interior to llie
rapid advancement of tbeii Seaport within the ln«t eight
years. In 1830 the population ofthe city, exclusive o f
the snunty of Chatham, was 7770. In 1fl38 it had in.
created to 19,738, being an addition of more limn sixty
per rent, (exclusive of a transient population from
November to March of about 3000 more.) and in the
three years ending in August lust upwards of 100 build
ings (many or them brink) of various sizes have boon
erected in the city and suburbs, (several of them im
posing fireproof warehouses, capable of storing large
quantities of cotton.) while since that period many sub
stantitl edifices huvebeen raised.
.J. One thousand feet of new wharves hnve also been
•^recently reclaimed from the river for the use of the
city, and eighteen steam, rice and saw mills, have been
erected within the past ten years in die city and its
immediate vicinity—five of diem having been raised
within the last two years. The value ofltor rcalestate\
bas thus materially improveJ, m evinced by the high
rents and the sdll increasing demand for houses, sensi
bly augmenting the ordinary sources of the city’s reve.
If we turn to the rivor and enter into detai)|
• we see twenty two steamboats, belonging to this port
with an aggregate tonnage of 3704 51-93, and engines
of 1091 horses power, besides many plying on our wa-
' ters and trading here which hail from other plnces, as
Charleston and Darien. We see alsocA/rty-sccen square
rigged vessels owned in whole or in part in Savannah,
of which eighteen are ships of the largest class, aver
aging more than five hundred tons. We would also
point to our Rail Roud, which is now travelled by lo■
eonotltt more than alxty miles, and has been grided
for 103 miles, and under contract for 132 from the city
In this work our eity as a corporation, haro embarked
half a million of dollars, besides extensive private sub-
criptlon* on the part of our citizens.
We merely glance at these facts,that our fellow conn,
trymen of interior Georgia may perceive that the
prosperity of Savannah is substantial. In the brief
•pace of a Prospectus, details exhibiting our resources,
and our progress in the scale of cities, must bo avoided.
We must allude briefly to other subjects.

IMPORTANT TO OVERSEERS.
Tho communication of a correspondent, in this
day'spaper, signing himself “Overseer," deserves
theuttentlon ofthis uiofulclns* of our citizens. Wo
think something for their advancement might bo
done, if they move in the matter themselves. Their
numbers should be ascertained—the limit of the So
ciety defined—whether it would embrace tho East
ern District alone—ot tho whole State, &c. Any
thing that will promote tho i iteresu of Agriculture,
or thoso engaged in it, is always sure to meet our
humble support. For, ns Goldsmith says—
•• Vrinrrv or peer* may flourish or tnsy fade,
A breath can make them, aa a breath lias made j
But a Itold yeomanry—a country’s pride.

"'Thomas ritchie.— 0
University op Virginia —We have received a
catalogue of tho Officer# and Students of this Uni
versity. The students from different sections ofthe
Union aro,Virginia 16It Alabama 23; South Caro
lina 22; Georgia7; Louisiana 10; Mississippi 7;
Tennessee 2; Maryland 1; North Carolina 3 j Penn
sylvania 3; Ohio 1; Kentucky 3; District ofColum-
bia 2; Florid s 2. Total 247.
Tho nam'o of this venerable litterateur, require*
neither prefix or addenda, to distinguish it. He
has long been the Nkstor of Democracy in Virgi-
nin; nod ho is now its .Eats. Hn Ims exhibited
nil tho vigorous fire of ynutlifitl pntriotism in the
campaign that has just terminated. He buckled
on his ponderous armour for the fight, and his years
wore forgotten, when tho enemy saw him stop for
ward, und whirl his giant's mace, at all points
armed for the fray. His green old age 1ms all the
attributes of youth, combined with tho wisdom nnd
xperienco of years—tho righteousness of his cause
nerved his arm ; nor did ho lay down shield or fal
chion, until tho trumpets sounded, nnd thehcrnlds,
with a loud voice, proclaimed thnt Victory hud
graced tho banners of tho Democracy of the Old
Dominion.
Tho mighty power of a free and uncorrupted
press, was never more strikingly displayed than in
thn Virginia contest—tho doniocrutic triumph of
1039. Tho Richmond Enquirer spoke to tho peo
ple—the h must truth wn* luid before the yeomanry
of Virginia—the tricks, the machinations, the de
ceptions of tho toi ditnnt Whigs, and the sleek
Conservatives, were exposed—and tho scale* foil
from tho oyos of the freemen of that ancient State.
Tho pen of Thomas Ritchie was never dry for
weeks before the days of trial; ho was unceasing
in his toll, and a rich reward—the conciousnosi of
success in tho rightful cause—has crowned his ef
forts.
Mr. Ritcihr is certainly a most extraordinary
man, and Virginia may ho proud of hor corps edi
torial, when marshalled by such a leader. Ilia
style is distinguished from all others, by an origi
nality of thought—a force of expression, and a
vividness of colour. Thn freshness and purity of
his diction, arc indeed meet offerings to lay bal'ore
the dwelling of
“ Tho mountain nymph—sweet Liberty."
The plucn of Mr. Ritchie is at tho head of the
press in thn Union. Ho is uncqiiullod—and with
out a rival. " All the decency. and all the talent"
party cannot produce kit equal, notwithstanding
their proud assumption of superiority, nor huve
they one who would daie to meet him in the arena
of controversy.
The whole country is indebted to this gentleman
for the intrepidity and manliness—the eloquence
and tho fervour, with w hich ho Im* for many yoar*
adv. ented thn cause of republicanism. Ho is
zealous, yet discreet, nnd never transcends the le
gitimate ground of argument. His wit nnd hu
mour—garnished with pluyful sarcasm, pungent,
but never personal,—ore powerful auxiliaries in his
treatment of his subject.
Wo have for years been amongst his admirers,
nnd lmvo often been thankful for the draughts wo
have taknn nt his fountain of democracy—swelling,
os it docs, like a “ deep well of English, pure and
undefiled." We wish him many more year# to
guide the helm of the Democratic Enquirer—for
when ho duos depart, “full of years and of honor,"
viewed as an editor—
We ne'er shall look upon his like again."
“John Smith's Letters, with 'Picters' to
Match."—This is tho title of a work to be pub
lished itvperiodirnl numbers, at 12| cents a number,
by S. Coi.man, of New York.
It is a republicdtion, with corrections and amen-
dntions, of tha letters nf John Smith, Esquire,
nephew to uncle Joshua Downing, and cousin to
Major Jack Downing, of Downingvillo, in the
State nf Maine, which originally appeared in the
New York Mirror.
The author of these “ letters," Sfb t Smith, it
well known at tho veritable Simon Pure, who in
dited the epistles of tho redoubtable Major Jack
Downtno himself. He hod a host of imitators,
but they all foil short of the original. The work
before us has all the faults, and all ihebtaulics
(if any body can see such features in them) of the
Major’s production!—bad spelling alonn excepted,
which only appears in Cousin Deudy's (an anti
quated Yankee spinster) orthography.
We are not among tho admirers of this school of
writing—yot, nevertheless, can shnke out sides
while perusing somo of the quaint and graphic con
ceptions of Major Jack, end of John Smith,
Esquire. Those who delight in Yankee crudities,
and from the great solo these works have had, we
should sny their name is “ legion," will find tho let
ters of the aforesaid John Smith, Esquire, fully
equal to thoir predecessors of tho Downing family.
The first part is embellished with two engravings
on stoel, ala Cruikshank, which are the “picters
to match," and they portray the physiognomy of
the Smith family to the life. It is a cheap—a very
cheap work.
DR. DYOTT.
This grent banker whose institution happened to
fail and explode for want of funds, and it is now un
der a rigorously searching investigation before a
competent tribunal, wu* originnlly a druggist, a
vender of quack medicines, a Hebrew in religion,
and an Englishman by birth. It has been proved
inthecourso of the judicial investigation to which
ho has been subjected, that among other avocations,
he employed his time and talents in manufacturing
on a grand scalo counterfeits of Swaim’s panacea.
Wo take the above from the New Orleans Louis-
ianian. Dr. Dtott, kept a drug shop in this city,
during the war—and married a Mr*. Goiltord,
tho widow of a musician here, who kept# millinery
establishment. He was reported rich, when he left
this place, for Philadelphia. Many of our old eiti-
tens remember him well.
Wehnvo before stated that Dr. Dtott wasfound
guilty.
Shipwreck.—Tbe Dutch brig Havana Packet,
Captain Visciikr, Trim Havana, whence she sailed
on the 16th May, with a cargo of sugar bound to
Amsterdam, was lost on the 25th following, off
Cape Look-Out, hiving struck on the shoal* that
morning, at 7 o'clock, in a calm. Crew saved.
Unprecedented Travelling.—Inn British Offi

soil upon which they, as ourselves, were born, from
which we have drawn our support, and to which,

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
Tha Juno number of this Southern Periodical has
reached us with its usual punctuality.
Among the original prose articles, we have pe
rused with gratification, Reminiscences of our late
distinguished fellow-citizen, William H. Craw-
eoro, as communicated by Eugcno Vail, Esq., now
in Paris, who officiated during the period referred
to, as bis private Secretary. They exhibit the cha
racter of this Southern statesman, in those striking
points which ebumetorized him as a frank and in
dependent gentleman, and as one who was admired
no less for hi.s genuine worth, than for that Repub
lican simplicity, which, combined with other valued
traits, made him to conspicuous a member of the
Republican family.
We have also in this number the merited eulogy
of Washington, from the pen of Lord Broughum,
who stylos him the “greatest man of our own or of
any age;—the only one upon whom an epithet so
thoughtlessly lavished by men to foster tho crimes
of their worst enemies, may bo innocently and
justly bestowed."
The following tribute to this great and good man,
from the pen of the Rev. William Jay, of Bath,
England, appears in tho Messenger, for the first
time in print.
LINES,
Written impromptu, on seeing the picture of Wash
ington's villa, at Mount Vernon.
“ There dwelt the Man, the flnw'r of human kind.
Whose visage mild bespoke his nobler mind.
There dwelt the Soldier, who hit sword no'er drew.
But in a righteous cause to Freedom true.
There dwelt the Hero, who na’er fought for fame,
Yet gained more glory than a Ctetar's name—
Thera dwelt the Statesman, who devoid of art,
Gave soundest counsel from ac upright heart.
And O l Columbia, by thy sons caress'd.
There dwelt tho Father of the realms he blets'd;
Who no wish felt to make his mighty praise,
Like other Chiefs, the meant himself to raise;
But there retiring, breath'd in pure renown,
And folt a grandour that disdain'd j Crown."
Another interesting article U on the Mecklenburg
Declaration of Independence, in the course of
which Mr. Jefferson is acquitted “of the improb
able chargo of plagiarism, which party-zealots first
Industriously propagated, and careless raaaoaera
too readily admitted."
The nittol variety in prose at. N*try< makes
(hit-number acceptable.to reader* generally, who
cgnnot fail to derive ploaturo from tho perusal of
its page*. Mr. White, the Editor and Proprietor,
is reaping,'as ho desern-t, success.
Tho New Yotk Courier state* that tho grca‘
steamship British Qunon, which it to tail front
Portsmouth on thu 1st of July, registers 2016 tuns,
and wil< accomodate upwards of 200 passengers.—
When the Grout Western left, nearly all the berths
in the British Queen had been taken, und it wns sup
posed that she would have a full freight of 800 tons
measurement. The following is an extract from a
letter from a gentleman in Glasgow:—
“ I yesterday went down to tee the British Queen.
They aro completing tho Indio*’ cabin, nnd next
week put in old cloths, carpets, ?bcd*, and begin to
paint her from stem to stem, outside and in. You
will, at will every body i-lao, be surprised nt her mas
sive machinery. All around tho engine room there
is a wide wnilt (on a level with the saloon floor) pro
tected by a brass railing, to that visiters and passen-
cers may have afino view ofthe machinery without
interferring with the men.—There is a icpcrate on*
trance to it from tbo duck; the ceiling of it is pan-
oiled, and is to be painted oak and varnished. They
are cutting port holes for putting in coals under deck,
and Roberts declare* the shall Im kept dean.
You will be highly gratified with her arrange
ment* throughout. Iler "funnel" was lying on deck,
and I took a promenade or 60 feet through, hat on
and all standing."
* [rou the oeoroian.]
Mr. Editor t—Allow mo, through tint columns
of your excellent Journal, to mukc u few remarks
to my brother overseers, on a subject which is of
deep interest to thorn and mo. A great number of
Societies hnvo been formed in our country for vari
ous purposes—which are of much bum-fit to the bo
dies they represent. Tbe lawyers, the Joe tort, tho
mcrclianto, and, in many places, the mechanics,
form thcmselvo* into Socictlot of this kind, und
those intelligent olussea havo found thorn produc
tive of mutual good fueling, and unity of action. No
such bond of union exists amongst tho overseers—
consequently they are “ like a house divided a gainst
itself"—and tliore is littlo good foeling existing
amongst them. This should not be. Are we an
wiso that we. need no more knowledge ? Or, do
we understand our calling so well, that wo want no
advico from others 7 Surety, no. It it true, there
ore some who would as soon givo hi* brotiier over
seer, bad, as good advice—but such men nre few,
and would soon bo discovered, and thoy would lose
ullconfidonco—nay would bo slighted by all honor
able men of their class.
Toproduco concert of acti m, and mako the over-
seers acquainted wi h each other, let there bo a So-
cioty formed by thorn, to bo called “Tho Agricul
tural Manager's Society." Lot oil honest, sober,
industrious and respectoblo overseers bo admitted.
Tho only criterion to qualify for ndmUsinn. should
be character, without reference to salary or ex
perience, for If tho applicant is a beginner, hn can
not expect a large salary,and thenmst experienced
were once Utomsolves beginners. At preiont there
are many persons called overseers, who do not do-
lorvo the name, and it is such persons that bring
disgrace on our colling. A regular Society would
soon remedy this evil, because it* members would
f-ol bound to luttruct ignorance, and exposo negli-
gonco.
Should such a Society bo formed, it would be
necessary to enter into a yearly contribution f««r its
support—the fttnds to be appropriated as the ms-
jority should see fit. An nvenoer in distress, should
receive aid from the S'»ciety, and should, be die, and
leave a family unprovided fur, his brethren should
aid them as fur a* their means would permit—and
if possible, the children of the deceased, member
should beoduented in a Manna) Labour School, so
that they would learn early habits of industry—as
it is too true that overseers generally allow their
children to indulge in laziness. Wliut would $5,00
per yoar bo to a man enjoying a good sal iry—and
$2,00 to the nost, or $1,00 to the lowest class?
Curtoinly they would not mits it—especially, when
so much good could be accomplished by its means.
Tha last thing I would recommend, though not tho
least, would bo to have somo publication issued by
the Society on Agriculture.
I hope these suggestions will meet the attention
and serious consideration of all overseers—and thnt
tho subject will be taken up by somn ublor pen than
mine. "OVERSEER

IUtears of yonder ilogs.
William Suakspesre, Esq.
I could endure any thing but a cat.
Idem.
Mr. Editor t—Much ha* been said of dogs of
late and of cats, but not too much —Tho dread
grievance that ntukes night hideous continues; U
been, now U, and, heaven preserve us, f«r
aught I can see, i« to be, and therefore not too
much. Fiat justilia, say I, and may tho guilty
hoads receive the blow of tho groat axo, I havo
sympathies, however, and would fain avert miifor-
fortune—I would invoke aflliciions upon no one,
and I wish the Common Council well—but this is
a world of accidents, Mr. Editor. We know not
what the day may bring forth—wc arc not prescient
the most sagacious of us, and I repeat I with no
harm to tbe City Council; yet I would these “ grave
and reverend signora" to bo duly informed, if over
I should be bitten by a mad dog I cannot be res
ponsible for consequences—strange occurrences do
sometimes take place—but I forbear.
"I could a talo unfold," Mr. Editor, a tnle I
could relate of wrongs inflicted in tho dread waste
and middle of tho night, longer and direr than
Eneas's to Dido; but I wish not to harrow up
your soul, and freeze your young blood—nor distress
women.
Seriously, sir, and religiously, the Fathers of our
goodly city aro too meek, too meek by half—I
would rather they were as dogmatical and catego
rical It Diogenes. Several philanthropist* have
lately very humanely dctcantod in your Journal,
upon tbe Uls we bear; and it was hoped a reason
able attention would be given to their labours.—
We are disappointed. I wish to address thorn once
more—I would appeal to their reason, if that were
appealing to naught, I would beseech thorn as cit
izen*, father*, beads of families, tenderly linked to
posterity; as bachelors, liablo to have their gar
ments rent; as mon, subject to become rabid, sus
ceptible of hydrophobia; aa women—I beg a thous
and pardons—aa office-holders, having constituents,
neither atoicka nor for ever unchangeable in their
viows of tbe fitness of things—individually and col
lectively I would implore them to bavn due and pro
per regard to the canine and feline races inhabit*
ing among us. Tha propagation of the former, in
our vicinity, is unprecedented in the annals of natu
ral history.—But ( must cur-tall.
1 am aa little inclined a* any man to create a
panic, or unwarrantably to disturb tha nenws or
txcita tho feolingt of any one ( but ai.a membnr of
society, I have duties to perform, and I beg, there
fore, to mention one circumstance connected with
ibis interesting and very important subject} Wait
ing the other day for " latter* and papers," I ob
served a suspicious looking dog prowling about tho
Post Office-1 kept an eye upon him 1 —he had an
uniuady gait, gtaaey ayes, and a vary bilbut coon
tenaace, and hit air and general drmcaner warn in
tho highest degree nonchalant, evincing, with the
exception of an occasional glanco at the windows of
ono of the upper stories of the building, tha ut
most indiffarence to every thing about him, until
he saw a pitcher of water upset by a servant pass
ing by, whan, giving an expruzitvo shudder, ho
mado hi# way into the Exchango, and approached
the place wltere I was standing.—Supposing, from
his movoments, myself to be the object of his atten
tion, I retreated instanter. It may seem selfish,
but I must confess I was glad to find myself mis
taken in hit design—hit intention was evidently
higher game,—he walked up stairs.
Let those Iniorested look to themselves.

THE BRUNSWICK TITLES.
As papers out of thu Slate are noticing tho re
solutions passed at a recent meeting in Brunswick,
we have extracted the reply of the gentlemen of
this city reflected upon in the Advocate of the 25th
of May, which wo have mislaid, and for tho present
publish said reply, with the editorial remnrk* in the
Brunswick papur of tha 8th inst., intending to pub-
lish the meeting when we shall procure tbe paper
containing it.
From the Brunswick Advocate, June 8.
TO THE PUBLIC.
Our attontinn as iot-holders in the town of Bruns
wick, beiug particularly requested by publication in
the Brunswick Advucule, to toe proceedings o( a
nnit-ling held in that plane on tho evening of the
22-1, und published in llmt pupnr of th» 25th May,
wu c-tnnot refrain from expressing “our deep re
gret" that ilia |Hsrsons composing that meeting
s.iuultl lmvo thought it proper to attempt, by such a
cnuiie, to concentrate public fueling against u gen-
Homan whose qualifications of head sod iirari, as
well us psrsouul accomplishments cannot fail lo
uuitd the rennet of all |*eriuns, as well aa the confi
dence of the vuud lot-holders in tbe town ofBtuns-
wick residing in Suvunnuh. Nor cun we rolrain
from "expressing nur surprise," under all tho clr
cumstuncis.at the resolutions published as having
been pat-vd ut tint meeting and pardcularly at the
rarnurks under the editorial huud,‘-ihui ourenomiet
to Suvaiinuh, iimtoud of rooming to Ivgnlmuaui ure
willing to nt-iko mi oppeul to mob luw." In reply,
we huvo on.y to suy, afl.it we first derived nur infor-
m Ition on the subject from the Bruns w ick Advocate;
und further slate, no such tesori has ever been cun-
tomplut. d by tiny one of iho Brunswick stockholder*
residing in Smvenualt,—u:ul being suti-fii-d that thn
relation exisiltng between tbe Brunswick Lind
Company und the cUiinuntt ol'loi* in Brunswick
am nut undeiitoud by thn citizens of Glynn county,
it will nut we presume appear to any one a* an im
proper interference, to givo a detail ofthis rela
tion.
Many of us hold direct grants for lot* in Bruswick;
sum-: under dales long previous to tho revolution,
granted to our ancestors, who assisted to protect
this country from Spanish invasion, Indiun massa
cre, and to give her the independent's which she
now enjoy.; and others from und through tbe alato
authorities. Wo have paid all taxes and all aiaon-
menu thnt have been requited from limo to time,
both by the Stulo und the town of Brunswick, and
bold laxreceiiittend other-, some from Henry Du-
bigtion. Esq. (Chairman of that meeting) at Secre
tary nnd lieisurer ofthe Commissiuneiafortbo re-
•uivny of Brunswick.
Btt»ide* tins, the whole number of lota bought of
Messrs. Dari and Davis by the Company is about
260. Ot ihnsv, about IUU lots are claimed by oth
ers. Here ho woU.d beg liave to ask tho question
—does their purch i*o authorise them to enclose lots,
for which thoy have no title, and by this procedure
subject the rightful owners to the necessity of bring
ing a suitut law tor the recovery of their piiqn-ity ?
Iflldiwa, any person may enclns* a part of any
l'lantcr's pluumiuu in his absence Irnm home, and
oblige him to institute a »un against the nggressors.
Such principles a* these we cuuciude would nut ob
tain in any well regiiluied socirtysnnd wo buva there
fore to add that we are persuaded that the gentle
men whu attended the mm-ting to which wo havo
referred, were uiiiiifuriMd of tho true merits of thu
Some of the largest tot-holders residing in Sa
vannah aid, doting the first year's operation* ofthe
Uruu»wiek Land Co., in consideration of advan
tages likely to bo detived from tb" improvements of
said Company, offer to relinquish to them a part of
their lot.; and suboequamly repeated it to their
eg-nt, which ws* treaad with silent contompl.—
'ims offer was made as a mutter of more Jus tier*, as
the uctiun of tha Company, it was supposed, would
have increased tho value of thoir lot*. And they
ad I, it was volun ary on their part. Dos o this ap
pear as if the lot-hu)Jai* “ait quietly iu Savannah
till lb« operations of the Company have advanced
the value of property here, and then consult violent
measures?"
* We take the liberty to detail another transaction,
by which it will be readily teen who it ie, that bee
resorted to violent measures. Geo. Houston, Esq.
was employed M tbo exentof some of tha lot-hold-
ort in Sevannah in April, 1838, end directed to fence
la eight lot* in Brunswick belonging to them, which
i, enddurmt " *
enclosures wrre completed, end during hi* abieace
tbe fences of five lot# were taken down by the agent
of the compeny. it require! but little
arrive *t the conclusion, that the agent
beta proseeoud uoder the law ofthe Stem for vio-
Uatly troepeeslug oe the property of Mother, end
taking poeeeasioa of their lute by force. We ask
again, who it it that hn» employed violent measures?
And no argument is necessary to prove that with all
S ropriety we may ask—why did hot the agent ofthe
runswick Land Co. “ resort to legal meant" hi this
instance, instead of making aa appeal to to force
or" mob law.
Let us oxnmino more particularly tho aluima of
the Brunswick Land Conqiauy. Under the hope
of banefitting from thn rego w..ich prevailed a few
years since, for speculation nnd lowu making, they
wore induced to buy up the claims of Messrs. Wm.
B. Dnvis nnd Urbunua Dart to sumo lot* in Brunt-
w*ck, and such lands as might provo lo be vacant
land. They therefore possess ouly such rights and
ti let as these gentlemen did. We hen* insert
their noticu to tho publiu which oxprostus the terms
upon which they received thoir grant*.
“PUBLIC NOTICE
“ Tho undersigned have obtained grants from Ute
State of Georgia to three hundred and sixty-nine
acres of land lying in Glynn County on Turtlu rivor,
and known as the site of Brunswick. To prevent
all misconception, the undersigned respectfully in
form the public that their object in obtaining these
grants has not been to interfere with tho just claims
of any mu* m or persons, but they ure willing, if any
such claim* oxitt, to aid and protect thorn as fares
they have the power, against sinister designs and sel
fish intrigue. Tbo undersigned are ready, and here
by pledge themselves.to convey to fit nnd proper
persons, for the benefit of Brunswick, nil tliclr right
and titlo under tho hufore-montiuned grants, to those
portion* of land which muy havo boon heretofore de
signated or considered nt streets, highways, or pub-
"* squares;for their ardent wish and desire is, to
i Brunswick prosper ns n city or town, and lo ud-
vance that prosperity, they will nan ovory nxurtlou
that law and justico will warrant. If there be a
better title titan theirs, to nny part or portion ofthe
land covered by their grants, the undersigned will
not for a momontcontost the same, but will imme
diately acknowledge Us validity; If ti.ero be any
claim or title involved in doubt or difficulty, the un
dersigned will submit chcurfdly to tbe decision of
the laws, or they will refer tho mutter to a privnto
arbitration. The uudor.igned huvo grants lor vu-
cunt lauds; thoy had a perfect right under the luw#
of tho Stalo to apply for and receive thoso grants;
they claim only what tho State had a right to give,
vis: lands vacant and unconveyed. I fit can be shown
that thoy lab«T under it mistake, und that ovory foot
of loud convoyed to them by the Stulo boil ulrondy
been conveyed to others by a good and valid titlo
(either ante or post revolutionary it matters not)
then tho undersigned will at onco withdraw thoir
pretensions, and give way to tho older nnd better
titlo. In oouclusiun, it it distinctly declared that
they roly on thoir grants to givo thoir lands vacant
at too time of survey—that is, all laud within thu
site of Brunswick, to which bona (hie title in fee
slmplrt cannot bo exhibited t but thoy want no man’s
property In foo simple, and while they ure ready to
dofend their own- rights, they are equally ready to
respect the rights of others.

be but onn conclusion, which is, lliut it it their in

Brunswick at all hazards ; even should it appear
that limy have no well grounded claim to support
their pretunsions. VVe seek not tn excite per

In ano.lu r p »rt of this pnpar will !*.- found an ad-

dress to thu public, signed by a number of very res
prctublu *,euilrmen residing in SuvanNah, claim
ants to lot* in this city, which lias bern called forth
in consequence of thu proceedings wliicn took place
nt n public meeting held by out citizens 011 th" 22d
ult.
Some of these gentlemen we think lab ir under a
misapprehension in supposing that they wore refer
red to in those proceedings. No reference wus bad
at tbe meeting to any other than the claims of the
two first named guntlumen.
On this subject wu took occasion tb make a few
remaik*. which, as one deeply interested h the
prosperity of this place, we thought wrre railed for,
n«d to which allusion is made in their reply. As
regards the titles ofllio claimants to tbo lots in tpms-
tiun, we do not hazard an opinion; but sincerely
deprecating any such action as was understood to
be in contemplation, induced ut to say what we did
on the subject.
If gwnllumon in Savannah or elsewhere, have
bettor claim* tn lands in this city than the Bruns
wick Company, we would bo thu Iasi one to do or
•ay any thing injurious to their interest, provided
they adopt iegul measures to support their claims.
A* there gentleman received ihu first intimation
through tho “ Brunswick Adv.icatn" that vi-ik nt
nicaurcs were intended to b*t ro*> rod to in older
to get possession ofiho lot* enclosed by the Bruns
wick Land Company, wc would inform them that
our citizens received tliHr information from Savan
nah, ns coming from the gentleman who staled that
he bad taken the agency for certain eUlmvnta there.
Wo are happy however, to perceive (hut no such
measures were ever intended by them.
VVe huve huard it intimatnd that thu resident a-
gent at this place was tbo prime m -vet and con
troller of that meeting. Such is not ihd fact—lie
neither wrotothtf resolutions nr took aoartiven |«it
in its proceedings a- many o:bers pritnnt. Heal
ing tho reports by every steamboat that arrived for
a we. k or two previous, that a force was coming
here to lake violent p<Hs***ion of property, nur ci-
risen* were anxious to act in eoiteen; and feeling
it their duty to vopport tha interest of tho Company
they resoived to sustain their egunt in all legal,
maens to retain possession of the lot# enclosed by
him belonging to them, la duingthi*. howover, |*r-
mil us to say it was not their “ intention to concen
trate public feeling" against any individual unjustly.
We presume tho resident agent will reply to the
accusations, brought against himself and the Com
pany bo represents in the communication, and dis
miss tha subject, not wishing in any way tnconltrol
public opinion prejudicial to the interest of either
petty.
