I am glad that bills huvo been introduced in the legislature to repeal lows, which however good they may intrinsicolly be, remain na deed letter* on the statute book. There ia nothing more evident of do fective legislation, thun the enactment of laws that cannot noram strictly enforced and executed. No State in tho Union has promulgated laws which are so openly violated as Georgia. It is timo that a radical reform should bo effected in our legislation, Law* of sufficient explicitness and severity oxist, in regard to the issue and circulation of change bill*) not only by incorporated companies, but by private individuals. And yet tlie country, especially this section of the State, is inundated with change bill* of various shapes and descriptions, nnd signed by individuals known only in the immediate neighbor hood of their residencu, and of whose mean* to re deem Ihosechnngebills very little iaknown, ifknown at ail, by those who are obliged to take them as money. The laws ugniust llio issue and cirrulation of change bills should be repealed, and I hopo the present legislature will act in this matter ns it should do, because the laws are considered as null ami void by the pcoplo for whose government they Were cer lately enacted.

TRATloh olr VoTKft* In said County end City, with such provisions as may ttt dectrted best adapted lo prevent frauds at election* held therein. The safeguard of our institutions consists in tho purity of tho elective franchise. A* the ond sought by its exercise is to asiertnln the will of a majority ofthuso whom aluno the Constitution recognltai a* the sovereignty: so whatever tends to defeat this result is, hostile to the Constitution and subversive of the highest privilege of citizenship. Experience has proved thut, in closo'y settled dis tricls. tho sanctions which tho laws havo thrown around Ibis right, are insufficient for its duo protec tion; and especially Is this truo of sea ports, where, from tho caio of access, many who are not entitled to vote, are assembled, ond may, if so disposed, with little fuaVof detection and punishment, commit gross fret)d* upon the rights of qualified Dleetors. Accor, dingly, a measure similar to thut prayed for, has been found necessary in many of out; sister cities, and hss been attended with signal success. It inter, farts with no constitutional provision; it introduces no new quolifications^-it seeks only lo guard o sa cred right, by subjecting thoso qualifications to more rigid scrutiny. Among it* benefits, not tho least is thoprevcnlion of the crime of perjury; tho temptations of which, in many cases, are ton strong to be counteracted by tho system now in force. This fact alone would bo conciusiue of Its utility. From local.position, our election* are peculiarly exposed to bo Influenced by unlawful means. The city ofSsvannah has, in ond near it, several great public works; it is a seaport with a Inrgo and in creasing coasting and foreign trade: it is tho com mercial capital ofan extensivo regions nnd it is tho terminating paint Ufa Rail Road which traverses n populous portion of the State: all which causes, with others unnecessary to bo specified, collect within its limits a multitude of strangers, throw open tho door to Illegal voting and perjury, render it impossible to arrivo at tho general will through the ballot box, and in casos of close elections, may thrust upon tho citi zens men and measures, not approved by a mnjoti- •y- Impressed with tho conviction that a Registry Law furnishes tho only remedy for these evils, the undersigned solicit tlmeaVly attention of the Legis lature to the subject; and do earnestly prey fir the establishment of such a system as shall in future of. fectually secure to the citizen* of Chnihnm County and of the City and HamlouufSavannah, thoenjoy raent ofthoir frgaf rights. [communicated rott tub aEouatAX.j It is very ques ienablo whether India, whit ul| the efforts now in progress by the enterprise of British industry, will over yield Cotton in quality and stnplo equal to that grown in the Southern States of Nurtli America. The Cotton plant ha* its pacuiuvitUa, U wilLaoly. produce,certain qualities within limited lutitudei, localities ami soil*. Tlie following article extracted from a sketch of a contrast between tho Nile and the Mississippi, by Dr. of Rodney, Miss., throws some light on tbit sub ject* "The Nile, like the Mississippi, has its limited region for the growth of the cotton plunt. VVhilo tho valley of the Nile contains three degrees uf lati tude mure profitablo for cultivation, tho product is one-fifth in quantity uf that of Mississippi, The difference in quantiy to the note, is in part owing to tho high waters which occjr* ut an unfavorablo irriod—a timo when tho cotton bolls are mure rap- dly forming than at any o her timo of tha annual growth, and when.tho tap rout huving descended lifteon feet, suffers decay frum being soaked in the water. The fibre is long ond silky, possessing a like number of nodules, and is often found to pnr- take of the cream or orangu color, which it acquire* from a union of the oil nnd ulkali i<f the fibre. This occurrence is less frequent witlt the - cotton of the Mississippi, on account of t .o much dampness uf the climutc—but where it dues exist, cun be detect ed by ontoring a gin cation room at night, as it fuil* not to impart the smell of sqap* The cotton ofSyria, Palestine, and Asia Minor, is without this color; tho fibia is short and less fine, and tho product to the ncro isnhoulofro-olghth of thnt of the cotton, re gions of Mississippi. Such a difference in thn quantity and quality of the cotton may proceed tram too much dryness of tho growing period and the coolness of tho spring and ful. seasons. Thus it appears that in all countries whure tho summers ore without rain, and the atmosphere as dry as in thoso of the countries above mentioned, tho cotton plantcentlot bo Very profitublyculiivnted. Wo arn inclined to think that all the cotton ro- geons of South America, as well at those of Asia and Africa, aro occompanird hy such citfiUmtuncns, or, as in tho East Indie* and Mexico, attended with too much rain during tha growing season. Honcp the conclusion is, thnt tlie cotton plant it must pro fitably cultivated in the United States—and that considering tho continued waning of tho people of all other cutlon countries, the article fur centuries will continue to be the most profitably cultivated of all the products of the American Stales."
