nating on the Tennessee river at Chattanooga, in this Stale, am! which when completed will furnish a communication between a portion of this State and the Cities of Charleston and Savannah; and ichtrca* it is desirable,- as far as practicable, to extend the ad vantages of »urh communication to the interior anil central portions, as well as the borders of this State ; Therefore, Da it Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, that the interest of which the State of Georgia has taken in her works of internal improvement, and the energy with which she has more especially prosecuted the extension of the Wes tern and’Atlantic Rail RoaJ to the Tennessee river at Chattanooga, evince a far-seeing patriotism and legislative wisdom which secure to her, in an emi nent degree, the respect and admiration of the rep resentative! of the people of Tennessee. ments, he and they arc hereby instructed to inquire into the expediency of making a survey by Engineers, for the further extension of said Western and Atlantic Rail Road from its present terminus at Chattanooga to the City of Nashville, and that they nuke a report to the nett session of the General Assembly. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions he communicated by the Governor of this Stale, to the Governor of Georgia, with a request that they he laid before the Legislature of that State, and that the authorities of Georgia be respectfully re quested to prosecute to completion, at as early a day as practicable the said Western and Atlantic Kail Road to the Tennessee river at Chattanooga.” Rights ot Married Women. We refer to our second page for a complete re view of this whole subject where our readers may see the subject argued at length in an article from the Georgia Journal. A bill has been introduced into the House by Col. Miller Grieve, one of the repre sentatives from Baldwin, to protect and preserve the rightsand property of married women. A simi lar law is in force in Maryland & other States. It has been our lot to witness many cases, which forcibly impressed upon us the necessity and justice of such a law and we most heartily wish that it may be en acted. Great Sea Fight off the Havanna. We refer our readers to our first page, for a most spirited and graphic account of this" great Naval bat tle, which the writer supposes is to come off within a few years, between our home squadron command ed by Commodore Stewart, and a British fleet un der Sir George Brook. The subject has more than a passing interest to the slave holding States. It is from the Petersburg Republican. Bachelier. We notice in the Catholic Expositor, that John M. Bachelier, President of the revolutionary com mittee, and an accomplice of that hortible monster Carrier, I A the horrible scenes of Nantas, died on the 10th of August, at his residence in Nantes.— Carrier had five hundred children drowned at one time, all under five' years of age. Bachelier died repentant, and received the last rites of the Catho lic church. Frcrnthc Petersburg Republican Mr. Calhoun. We ware much pleased on Saturday evenimr by a visit from Mr. Wise, of St. Louis, the celebrated miniature painter. Mr. Wise has just finished a picture of Mr. Calhoun, which Mr. Calhoun’s fam ily, and himself consider to he the best ever taken; we had the pleasure of examining it, and found the resemblance perfect, while in beauty of execution, it surpasses any tiling we have seen accomplished by a native artist. Air. Wise has gone to the North forlhe purpose of superintending an engraving to be made from his (loriruit, whi.-h he eijiecls to present to the public by next February. As Mr. Wise hid been for some ten days an in mate of Mr. Callioun’s family, he had opportunity ot observing his manner of life, w hich is so admira ble, so muc.i- in character with the man, that we cannot refrain from giving our readers a share in the pleasure with which we heard it.—Air. Calhoun resides on a large and valuable farm, chiefly devoted to the culture o! cotton and com ; his house is large and co.uuiu ltous, and generally thronged with visit- ors. Mr. Cullioun rises bv light in the morning, an.l on loot attends to ti.e various duties of a farmer, 'villi'll lie performs with a degree of ability and en ergy surprising for a man in bis situation, and at his age. Mr. Wise’s remark to us was “he is the best farmer 1 ever saw, he has an overseer but could do as well without him, lie does every thing himself.” iiis farm duties being performed, he retires to his study until the time for receiving his numerous visit tors has arrived. We want no one to tell us of the enjoyment to be derived from Mr. Calhoun’s society is about him an earnestness, and order in whatever he enga ges, which, combined with his vast information, and profound wisdom, make his conversation more delightful than that of any porson we ever met. In the alternoon he walks the farm over again, and then passes the balance of his evening either in the social circle, or in writing. Such is the daily life of our groat Statesman, independent, and surrounded hy all the endearments of a devoted family, lie finds tunc, nevertheless, for an extensive corresjiondence, and for carrying on the great political work upon which ho is understood to he engaged. We do not think the country will consent much longer to spare Mr. Calhoun the time to attend to his farm—we Want him at the head of the great form of the Re public. Some of our fields are out of heart, the fen ces broken, the cattle running wild, and we must have an experienced and active hand to bring mat ters right again. Who can do this so well as -Mr. Calhoun 1 Democratic Organization. Tlic following we subjoin Icoin the Charleston Mercury. The suggestions are good and we hearti ly concur in them, nothing can tend more towards uniting and calling out the entire strength of the Democratic party in the coming contest, than a free intercommunication and exchange of views.—This is truly and emphatically the age of association and th.it man who has not discovered its great influence and the powerful impulsion given by it to opinio*, lias studied the history of our country and time to little purpose. We commend the subject to our friends and the Democratic press generally—and most earnestly entreat them to unite with our Demo cratic brethren of North and South Carolina in this great movement. Such conventions cannot tad to enkindle a generous and enthusiastic order in the great cause in which we are engaged. There is something too inspiriting and exhilirating in the proposition, such an assemblage of the young men °f the country would bring up in all its thrilling p i.ver the pure patriotism of our early days, and latuse a spirit into the approaching campaign that would be irresistible. I’o’itical Movements—iinioitant Suggestion. We copy below from two spirited Democratic pa pers of North Carolina, a suggestion which we commend to the attention of our friends. Is it not tune to take some decisive action that shall tend to arouse and encourage the Democratic party 1 The proposition to hold Coventions of Young Men, at ‘ecentral points of the great divisions of the Union, strikes us very favorable. It could not fail to kindle the true spirit. From the Metklenburg Jeffersonian A Suggestion. There can be no disputing the fact, that the Na tional Convention of whig young men, held at Balti more in 1840, gave the first grand impetus to the great excitement of that year. The young men of the whig party came together from all parts ofthe Union, became acquainted with each other and interchang ed views, thus laying the grounds for concerted ac tion, and pledged their vows to go home and ‘go to work.’ They did so, and the result is before the world. The young men of a party, though probably less prudent and politic, are generally more enthusi astically attached to their principles, and will labor more zealously for their advancement than will those who have long been engaged in the strife; —and we are therefore anxious to see some scheme adopted, by which the young democracy of the country can be aroused to action—a concerted vigorous action. But as the holding a National Convention would likely he attended with too much inconvenience and ex pense to insure a full representation from all the States, we would propose that the young men of our party in the northern and eastern States hold a Con vention, say at New York, those of the western States at Cincinnati or some other point in the West; and those of the southern States at Charleston, du ring the ensuing winter or spring. What say you, young Democrats 1 And what say youj brethren of the democratic press 1 Will you pass the sugges- tion around 1 From the Raleigh Signal. We entirely concur in the above suggestion of the Jeffersonian. The example set, and the course pur sued, by the Federal party in calling together their grand Mass Conventions, will soon make it absolute ly necessary for the democracy to adopt similar movements to counteract their operations. The en emy must he met in every quarter and at every hus tings. Our organization should he coextensive with theirs—our labors as united, and our zeal as resolute and determined. Between our great National Con vention of the Democracy of Young Men to be held at New York or elsewhere, and the several Conven tions in the three sections as indicated by the Jeffer sonian, we have no choiee. We hope the sugges tion will go forth, and far and near, meet with a warm, hearty, and united response. How Goes the Field. In Massachusetts the Whigs have succeeded iy obtaining a majority in the Legislature and will elect their Govsrnor, although he hae less than a plurality of votes over all the opposing candidates. The God like Daniel has at last found where he should go. — The Spectator says, “ Though somewhat shorn of his beams, he still has influence enough to control the Whig vote in New England, and hence the an xiety manifested by Mr. Clays friends for his adhesion to their favorite. “ Imperious Caesar dead and turned to Clay Might stop a hole to keep the wind away. To what base uses we may return Horatio” In New York, we have beaten them by a popular majority of TWENTY THOUSAND votes and have a large majority in the Legislature. In Michigan we have swept the stats like a whirl wind, six counties that gave Gen. Harrison 1066. majority in 1310, havcgiveJohn J. Barry the Dem ocratic candidate for Governor 3230. over his oppon ent Zina Pitcher. The Detroit Free Press shouts VICTORY ! VICTORY ! ! 77ie Whig* routed at the Capital and their Pitcher broken at the Fountain. Here follows a cut of a broken pitcher, We have since learned that Barry has a majority of 6,000 in the State. In lowa and Wisconsin Territories, the demo crats as our reoders are aware, have put the Whigs, totally to rout under the command of thosi two Valiant Soldiers, Gen. Dodge and his son Au gustus C. Dodge. The elections in Florida come to us slowly—wt give below all the news we have yet received. • In Jaeksan the Whigs have elected their ticket by about eighty votes. In Gadsden there is one Democrat, and one Inde pendent elected : also a Democratic Sheriff. In Leon the Whigs arc elected by a small maj. In Walton D. Gunn (Whig) ia elected. In Walker, N. W. Walker; in Jefferson, T. J Hein and J. L. Taylor; In Madison, Carniek am Selpb, all Democrats, are elected.— Com. Advertiser. Mississippi. In this State the Democratic party have carried every tiling before them. The able and distinguishes Albert G. Brown has received a triumphant ma jority of the popular The canvass war conducted in the most active and spirited manner by both parties. Brown and Clayton stumped thi State together with a generous and chivalrous rival ry. Albert G. Brown is an ardent admirer an< personal friend of our illustrious chieftain John C. Calhoun. With the Democratic ]»rty in Mississip pi, Mr.-Calhoun is regarded as elsewhere, the pit lar of fire by night, and cloud by day that is to lea our great republican army to assured victory in ou. glorious cause. For the American Democrat. Dr. Green, —As the annexation of Texas to tin United States attracts considerable attention at thi time, and doubtless will be brought up at the ensu ing session of Congress--allow me to inform you readers that the subject is to be discussed before th< William I tlrt Association next Monday night at th Academy. VIDI. ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA. FIFTEEN DATS LATER FROM ENGLAND. Fall in Cotton : Ministry defeated in London agitation in Ireland. Attempted counter resolution in Greece : ‘Business still continued in a fair state. Money as abundant as heretofore. The article of Cotton had fallen olf, about 1-8 and. per lb. Although the demand for speculation had subsided—yet the re quirements of the regular trade remained farm and steady.” One of the most striking - items in the foreign news is the defeat of Mr. Barring the Ministerial candidate, by Mr. Patter-, son, the free trade candidate, by a major ity of 165 votes in the city ot London. The Repeal agitation continues active ly in Ireland, although no blood has been shed yet. It is supposed that the Grand Jury will certainly find true bills against Mr. O’Connell and his friends, as it con sists of 18 tories and 6 repealers. Mr. O’Connell and Mr. Steele will defend themselves, and have summoned, the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Hughes, Lord Plmkett, Sir R. Peel, Lord Lyndhurst and Sir J. Graham. * Mr. O’Connell is slill issuing procla mations, and the English Government continues to pour troops into-the country. An attempt to create a counter-resolu tion in Greece, was easily put down. Revolutionary movements still contin ue in Spain.

NISBET, Cashier. ' A Bloody Trnsedv. A letter received in this city from Spar ta, Hancock county, says : —“Yesterday a negro belonging to Jos. R. Sarsnett, was hung in this place for an attempt to murder his master; and yesterday, or rather the evening previous, John Law son killed Obediah Culver and Knock Jackson. They went to Lawson’s house, entered, and one of them struck him with a stick. Lawson fled from the house, but as he went out caught tip his double barrelled gun; they pursued him,, and about one hundred yards from his house, one of them fired a pistol at him ; lie wheeled, fired both barrels, simulta neously, and killed both in their tracks. He then sent for a Magistrate and gave himself up, and sent for a lawyer to ad vise him on the inquest, lie was placed under bonds of SIOOO for his appearance at Court, but if the above be a true slate nent of the circumstances, he will cer lainly go clear.” Jackson, we understand, married Law son’s sister, and out of this marriage rrew the difficulty between them. Seat of a Senator Vacated. It will be seen by reference to our Legislative pro ,-pilings, that the seat of Edward Coffee, the Scna or from Rabun, has been vacated, the vote declared i tie, and the election referred back to the people. Philadelphia B* autv in Genoa. A foreign correspondent of the New Vork Tribune, is thus enthusiastic in lis description of a beautiful woman of Philadelphia origin, whom he encoun tered at a ball in Genoa. One night at an unusually brilliant assembly at the palace of the Governor, ts I was standing amid a group of ofli ■ers. I caqght a view of a head and ace that drew from me an involuntary •xcl.imation. There was a beauty and a glory about it I never hud seen but once in my life before ; but no one could tell np who she was or where she came torn; yet all looked as if they would rive the world to know. At length see- ing her seated in a fami'iar conversation Itesidc a lady with whom I was acquaint ed, I soon pierced the mystery that sur rounded her. You can guess my sur prise and pleasu . - e to learn that this beau ty is of American origin. She is the daughter of Lord Erskine, Minister to the Court of Vienna. When Minister to the United States, he married a beautiful Philadelphia lady, the daughter of Gen. Cadwalader, who, it seems, had trans mitted j the charms that had enthralled the noble lord to the daughter. You can judge of the effect of American beau ty oil the Italians, when I tell you that while I stood by her, ilie young nobles marched by in regular platoons, and paused as they came opposite her, and gazed as if moon-struck. A Young Amazon, The Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas writes: A dashing young Spanish ilanseusa, M’lle Montcz, (daughter of Gen. Mon tez,) who has been the pet of the ballet lovers in Berlin during the past summer, has had a sudden stop put to her gyra tions. She attended a grand review, on horse-back, and her steed becoming frightened, took the bit between his teeth, and rushed in among the suite. A gendarme stopped him, and gave him a blow with the flat of his sa bre. was on indignity that Span ish blood could not brook, and the Seno ra applied her riding whip with no small degree of vigor to the gen-d’arme’s face. He brought an action for assault, and the next day she was served with a sum mons to appear in court to answer the charge, {jut no sooner had its contents been translated to her, than she indig nantly tore it in pieces and trampled on the fragments. She was afterwards con victed of having shown disrespect to the orders of justice, and will have an op portunity of cultivating her tragical tal ent during Jive years imprisonment.

COTTON, —In oufci’eviewof the IBth instant, we stated that on the proceeding day there had been a good attendance of the trade and that the purchases generally were at a slight im provement on the rates paid in the early part of the wupk— Since that time, circumstances have transpired to enhance the value of the article. For sometime back the slock has been gradually diminishing, in consequence oi the falling of}' of the receipts; and since the Britannia's accounts, holders in many instances, withdrawn their supplies, unless their limited business which has engaged dealers throughout the week just closed.

The Grand Jurors, sworn and empnnhelled for the pres ent November Term ofthe Superior Court, 1643, do make the toilowiog Presentments: Having investigated the condition ofthe Poor House, we ate altogether dissatisfied with the result of our examination. For the last twelve months, that institution has been managed in a manner highly fietrinmnlal to the public- interest, and disgraceful to those who have had con trol thereof Indeed, terms of censure cannot be found suf ficiently forcible, to express our unqualified condtinnut on of the individuals to whom we refer. The conduct ol Dr. Tho .mas A. PaltsoNS, who has hud charge of the Asylum, under a contract with the RiglU Honorable Interior Court of the county, haß been violative of every principle of humanity and common honesty :»nevertlieless, the peculiar circum stances ofthe case, although they do not diminish the offen der's guilt, shiffld him from iudtctmeut on the criminal side of tlte Court. We. therefore, recommend the Inferior Court immediate ly to discharge said Parsons, from an office which lie has disgraced ami to commence the most eueruetic Buit upon his bond tor damages. The conduct of the Justices of the Inferior Court, relating to the Asylum, we are in duty and justice bound to condemn. The plan of farming out the institution to contractors, whose mercenary natures continually Jead them to violate their trust, we do entirely condemn. Especially do we condemn a portion ol said Court, for retaining in oilice the said Dr. Parsons, when they were fully aware of his gross miscon duct—thereby becoming themselves accessories to his crimes. We also recommend to said Justices, that, in luture. some proper person be engaged, at a fixed salury, to superintend said Asylum ; and that said person or person*, be requi red to give boud and security, for the tailhful discharge of his or lueir duty. Also, that he or they be required to make monthly repot la to said Court,of the s lualioo ofthe institu tion-embracing the number of paupers, the curreut expen ses. deaths, diseases, fee. &c.; and that t.hose resorts be (fjblished. Upon examination, we find that the office of County Treas urer is filled by one of the J ustiees ot tiie inferior Court, to wit: it. B. Washington. Such an appointment we deem a violation ofthe mteut and apuit ofthe Statuie creating dm office of Treasurer. The official bnml la payable to tlie Justices of the Inferior Court, and suit thereon lor bleach of trust, must be biougut by tlieiii; thereiore, lor one of that bod . to hold said office, opens the door to the grossest mal practice, and invites, as experience lias proven, the most iraudulent combinations. We do, thereiore, solicit said Hubert B Washington to resign said office of Treasurer; and that the Court, in care o. Ins refusal to resign, do re move hi,.. Iroiu office, and never hereafter allow one of llieir body to bold the same. We would iuos►respectfully urge upon the Inferior Court, a coinpilance with llie wishes of the Grand Jury, m regard to the i.Teaaur«r’» office, and the suit against the Poor House Contractor, and in regard to the removal of that officer; and iu case ul their refusal to do &o, we request them to resign their offices, and make way for others, who are disposed to comply with tue wishes of the community, in these respects. Tne Grand Jurj, on examination of the Cie/k’a Ihoks of 1 the Interior Court, find no registry of the names of the lVor of this couniy ; neither do they find on record on the Min utes of the Court, many of the most important orders ap propriating the public funds. The Grand Jury, therefore, recommend to me Interior Court of the county, to have all orders, appropriating ti e f unds of ihe county , regularly en tered ou lue Minutes of tire Court; and that the said orders he countersigned, “ Recorded by the Clerk," before they are paid by the Treasurer. They would also recommeud, mat no orders be signed, except in open Court. The Grand Jury especially -ecommend the Managers rtf Elections, in the couniy of Bibb. for Members of the Legis lature and County Otiicers, not to sutler any man to vole in said Election*, who has not paid the Taxes which are requi ted by the Constitution and Laws of the fixate; and that the Tax Collector be requested to f urnish the Managers of said Elections with a full list of such defaulters, on the opening of the polls. The Grand Jury have examined the Jail, and find it kept in a very neat and cleanly manner.
