Messrs. Editors: This question has been so often
asked in my hearing and received no answer that I am
tempted to ask a small space in your columns for a
few suggestions. Before I attempt to answer the en
quiry, I will ask what was the Penitentiary built for ?
and upon the trap answer to this question depends the
solution of the problem.
As it seems to be the genera! impression that it was
instituted to make money for the State, I will take it for
granted that it was built with no other view, and iii ac
cordance with that idea. I respectfully suggest that the
Legislatures heretofore have made an entire mistake in
its management. Instead of authorizing their Principal
Keeper to advertise for hands and employ such ns are
exemplary aud skillful tradesmen and turn off ins tauter
the man who is unable either from laziness or weakness
of body or mind to perforin his proper work; these Leg
islatures have passed laws compelling their Principal
Keepers, not only to receive, but to send for at the ex
pense of the institution, and clothe and support all the
condemned criminals of the State, from the lazy vag
rant, to the bloodv murderer, the halt and the blind.

elected as the friend of the Administration, and
had you not gained the confidence of the party in
that respect, you would'ut have polled a corporal's
guard ol democratic votes. No member ever entered
Congress with more flattering prospects—with the
confidence cf a constituency almost a unit in po
litical faith—with talents of a high order and capa
city for anything, and warm personal friends who
were ready to back your claims for any position
your ambition might aspire to. Yon certainly had

PREPARED BY DR. SANFORD,
Compounded entirely from GUMS,
I S ONE OF THE BEST PURGATIVE AND LIV
ER MEDICINES now before the public, that acts
as a Cathartic, easier, milder, and more effectual than
any other medicine known. It is not only a Cathartic,
but a I Acer remedy, acting first on the I.iver to eject its
morbid matter, than on the stomach and bowels to car
ry off that matter,thus accomplishing two purposes effec
tually, without any of the painful feelings experienced
in the operations of most Cathartics. It strengthens
the system at the same time that it purges it: and when
taken daily in moderate doses; will strengthen and
build it up with unusual rapidity.
The Liver is one of the) (principal regulatorsof the
human body; and when iti • performs its functions well
Hie powers of the system 5J are fully developed. The
stomach is almost entirely [H dependent on the healthy
action of the I.iver for the ” proper performance of its
functions; when thestoin-/X aeh is ut fault, the bowels
are at fault, and the whole y system suffers in conse
queuce of one organ—the- I.iver—having ceased to
do its duty. For the dis- H eases of that organ, one of
the proprietors has made " it his study, in a practice
of more than twenty years, to find some remedy
wherewith to counteract ''j
to which it is liable
I the many derangements
To prove that this rem- ^ edy is at last found, any
er Complaint, in any
try a bottle; and convic-
person troubled witlil.iv-
of its lorms, has but to A
tion is certain. . . y
These Gums remove all , morbid or bad matterfrom
the system, supplying in Q their place a healthy flow
'stomach, causing food to
notice.

one in five know bow to do it profitably until they
taught. To teach them requires fully halt their time
during which time they destroy more material than their
after labor will pay for, except, perhaps, in the ease of
criminals of at least five years sentence. Then, again,
in order to keep these criminals at work, the Legisla
ture have by the salaries, which they have ordered for
the assistant keepers and overseers, required the princi
pal keeper to employ a kind of superintendence totally
unworthy the confidence that must necessarily be
placed in them. They seem to expect a strictly honest
and capable shoemaker, blacksmith, carpenter, or mas
ter of any other trade at which it may be deemed ad
visable to employ the couvicts, to take charge of his
share of an hundred and eighty or two hundred con
victs, (the law allows only four overseers at $400 each,
per annum,) nnd risk his life and reputation (for the Leg
islature and the country seem to have taken up the idea
that the officers of the Penitentiary are only a better
class of convicts,) for $100 a year. A sum that in these
days of general prosperity, any common journeyman at
any of tin trades can mate double, if lie lias only half
of the energy and capacity required for an overseer of
a department in the Penitentiary. And his family and
friends have no fears of his being maimed or murdered
in the discharge of his duty.
It is true the law was made and these salaries were
fixed many years ago, when one dollar was worth as
much as two are now, anil when instead of one hundred
nnd eighty convicts, the institution only numbered from
forty-five to sixty, about one third to one fourthofthe
present number. But the number has been increasing
gradually, and the Legislature lias a standing commit
tee whose particular charge is to look into t lie condition
and wants of the institution, and examine into the ca
pacity aud conduct of the officers. These committees
have seen or ought to have seen the necessityofincroas-
ing the nnmber of assistants and advancing their sala
ries; yet, have recommended no change. This neglect
has cempelled the authorities todecrease the number of
overseers aud give to one man the charge of two
branches of business in order to make the pay sufficient
to induce a man of integrity und capacity to take it
And no sensible man will deny that for a position of this
nature, one man whose character and capacity are val
ued by the communtty at $1000 a year, is worth a half
dozen who are willing to undertake it for halt the sum.
Our law-makers seem to think that nothing more is re
quisite for an overseer, of the shoemakers Hum just to
be abie to make a shoe; of the blacksmiths, than to bum
iron; of the carpenters, but just to saw to a scribe.—
And every one of these ns a steady journeyman can
make his two to three dollars a day, and have no other
care but go home at night in peace. And the commit
tees have known those things when they have taken
the trouble to think, about them, yet, there has been no
change. The convicts have increased to three or four
times their number, when the law was passed; and yet,
the number of overseers have not been increased. The
value of property and expenses of hiring have increased
three fold; yet, the salaries have not been raised; on the
contrary, their number has been necessarily reduced in
order to give two salaries to one man, and even that
does not keep pace with the value of property.
Having iu mind all of these facts; if, as the Legisla
tures for the last fifteen or twenty years have seemed
to think, the Penitentiary system was adopted fomnke
money for the State; have they not made a great mis
take, and been guilty of a gross neglect of duty in not
changing the management altogether, and organizing it
with a special view to that end. Why have they not,
as before suggested, employed some competent person
to take charge of it—stocked it with labor-saving ma
chinery, and directed the superintendent to advertise
for and hire such hands ns would do good work and hnve
nothing to do with the lazy, the incompetent, and the
vicious-, such as were unprofitable, either on account of
inability or unwillingness to work even for their daily
blend ?
If it is true that the State has built nnd organized the
concern ou a speculation, I know no ether way iu which
money can be realized out of it; nor indeed, do I be
lieve that any one else does. But if the saving of
money is the making of it; and we are told by Poor
Richard thkt '• a penny saved is two pence gained.”
the Penitentiary, much as it lias been abused for dis
appointing expectations that should never have been in
dulged, has made something for the State by what it
has saved her citizens from county taxation to punish
criminals. Don’t smile 31 r. Editor, but observe. The
buildings for the Penitentiary were completed about
the first of the year 1817, the first convict was received
on tlie 17th of March of that year. 1 suppose the first
appropriation must hnve been made ariout 18IS; just
forty-three years ago. And the whole amount of ap
propriations from that day- to this have not exceeded
$130,900; or $10,000 a year. And this total you will re
member, includes the appropriation for its fiist erection,
and a partial re-building after two destructive fires,
equal to two entire erections at first cost. Which, if my
information is correct is about $65,000, each time, or
$130,000 in building. This, of course, is not to be fairly
counted in the expenses, and makes a much better
showing for the Penitentiary, bad as its chance has
been, than I had hoped, but let that all go. Say it lias
cost the State $10,000 a year to punish her criminals.
Would it not have cost four times that amount to have
been drawn from the pockets of our citizens in thc
sliape of county tax, to whip, and brand, and crop, and
imprison tier criminals, in the county jails. Will any
sensible thinking mail deny this proposition. Why. sir,
our citizens of Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta. Mncou and
Columbus, would pay out at least the $10,000 a year
themselves. Will you say, Mr. Editor, that the Peni
tentiary has been a blot, an incubus upon the State,
will any man say it ? I think not.
Now, Mr. Editor, as to removal. How much will it
cost, and when we add that to the amount already ap
propriated; how long will it take to bring it to present
average, and after all, even if your put it on a gold
mine you make nothing of it but a Penitentiary, and its
tenants, but unfortuuate convicts.
It has been suggested to lease it out. What
would we lease it at. and what would be the effect,
of that policy 7 I will grant for the sake of argu
ment that if the buildings were put in complete re
pair, and perfect arrangement for the purposes of
manufacturing, filled with all the new aud improv
ed labor-saving machinery now in all factories,
that the State could find a person or company
that would agree to pay a nominal lease on it; say
$500 or $1,000 a year, for five years, (as I under
stand Alabama has done, with her Penitentiary.)
well, at the end of that five years, your labor-sav
ing machinery will have run down and become
worthless, and you will receive $2,500 or $5,000
for what cost you $10,000 a year, and your Feui-
tentiary is in a worse condition than before.—
Don't say that you will hind your lesees to leave
every thing in as good condition as you turned it
over to them. The State can bind nobody pecuni
arily as long as you recognize the right of petitions
for relief, and that you are obliged to do, and the
Legislature because it is easy to cut a string off
another mau’s leather, will never fail to grant the
relief, especially when the lessees come and say
they were deceived in their calculations about
convict labor, as every body will be who counts
ou making them pay for more than their food and
clothes which the record shows they have done,
and more I fear, they will never do.
On the other hand, 3Ir. Editor, I conceive the
State has no right to lease the labor of her convicts
until she first changes the name and character of
the institution, and repeals those portions other
laws extending mercy and pardon to such as show
penitence and a reformed heart. The name itself
shows that its creators had iu contemplation the
reform of the convict as well as his punishment,
and our laws authorize the Governor to pardon the
crime and restore to liberty and the privileges of
citizenship such as may receive the recommenda
tion of the keepers, who are and ought to be the
proper Judges of the deserts of the persons under
tbeir immediate charge. And a late law passed in
1856 requires the principal keeper, to keep a book
of monthly conduct of the prisoners, and for every
monthly mark of good conduct, the convict is enti
tled to a deduction of two days from the term for
which he was originally sentenced. Now the
lessee takes the Penitentiary on speculation, and
expects to make his contract pay from the labor of
his best convicts, and who give him the least trou
ble, who are the exemplary men and who show a
disposition to reform, and be pardoned and rest or-1
ed to their rights as freemen and their station in |
society. Wili they get any showing from the
speculating lessee when the success of his con
duct depends upon their labor alone. On the con
trary, will be not use all the power he can to re
lieve himself of the lazy and trifling rogues and
vagabonds who do not earn their salt, aud are
nothing but an expense and draw back upon the
speculation
Let no one say this is not a true state of affairs.
It is human nature aud nothing else can be expec
ted from the lessee. I have thus far endeavored
to show how the Penitentiary has been working
and how little has heretofore been known of its
condition and capabilities. It I write again I will
endeavor to suggest what should be doue with it,
and so you may expect
More Anon.
and have as effectually annihilated yourself as if
you had never been extant at all. Y'ou have knock
ed all the fat in the fire, aud the conflagration has
consumed you
And how have you done it? Why first you
went aud slept with Toombs and Stephens, nnd
caught the Douglass itch, aud then imprudently
exposed yourself to an airing in the newspapers
while the disease was iu its confluent state. That
was madness, Gus. I have knowu a man to be
wrapped up in a straight jacket for less. No man
can tamper with his constitution in that manner
with impunity, and I tell you old fellow, you are
now in a bad way, and your political end draweth
nigh. How often Gus, has your uncle Biily and
the rest of your friends warned you against that
pernicious habit of letter writing ? The least said
about those letters, the best. They say nothing
and say it badly at that. They assume no position,
enunciate no principles, no policy, no nothing. In
fact you are nowhere, and don't know it.
Solomon (not old Billy) said “Oh that mine en
emy would write a book.” Y"ou’d have been a
foe to tickle his fancy, he’d have gone to sleep over
you, Gus, and woke up to find that you’d written,
published and busted, before he’d fairly got his
nap out
Men readily forgive rascality, but folly they rare
ly pardon, and you have sinned almost past re
demption. But luckily, for unfortunates like your
self, there is no evil without a remedy, and your
uncle Billy is not the man to strike you when
down without helping you ou your legs again. In
desperate cases, remedies must be strong to be ef
fective, and in your critical condition I would
strongly advise your total abandonment of the art
of Chirography. Forget how to do it and sign your
name like Bonner makes cross roads on his maps.

you put pen to paper you are gone
When I heard of your first Douglas letter I went
home mighty down in the mouth, your aunt Polly
smelt a rat right off’. What’s the matter old man!
says she. Nothing but some political news I heard
to-day, says I. What is it 7 says she. Guess, says
I. All the missionary Baptists going to plump
Hanks? saj-s she. 31ore than that says I. Good
gracious 1 old man, says she, Bob Toombs aint said
nothing aud stuck to it, surely 7 That aint a cir
cumstance to it, says I. Y’ou’ll frighten me to death
if you keep on this way. Cobb aint had the appo-
ple.xy ? says she. No says I, its about our Gus.
Oh Lordy! says she, you need’ut say any more old
man. I know now, Gus has been a writing. She
shucked and went to bed, without saying another
word, and her and me lay tlieie groaning, without
sleeping a wink that blessed night. We feel very
much hurt at you Gus, for your uncle Billy is flat
tered in the belief, that he is considerably of an ass
himself, and for you to go out of your way to break
him down at his own trade is unkind, as the pole
catsaid to John Glenu when he put on his suit of
corduroy.
If you had your uncle Billy’s pluck and manli
ness of character, you’d lie out of the whole busi
ness at oi.ee, and swear that A. R. Wright of Jef
ferson wrote those letters, and there would be no
great harm in it either, for Ranee has so many sins
to answer for already, that the additional encum
brance would’nt amouutto much. However, that
is more than I can reasonably require of you. But
I have the right to expect you to abandon that perni
cious habit. If you cant live without seeing your
name in print, then confine your literary efforts to
writing certificates for hair restorers and pile oint
ments, that’s innocent amusement and can harm
nobody, except those who take the remedies, and
serves them right for being such fools. . And if
you must write ’letters write to me, aud they won’t
be wasted. But by far the safest course for you to
pursue is to abandon the use of stationery alto-
gethsr.
The signs of the times look mighty squally for
you, Gus, and sorry it is that your uncle Billy has
to toll you so. Look at Tumlin hugging every
body that will let him. Look at Chastain, travel
ling round, complaining of his biles, and getting
every body’s sympathy, and see Billy Clayton
(“ the old man elephant”) how polite he is, hop
ping about as nimble and spry as it he’d sold out
and retired from the Tippoo Sultan line of charac
ter. What do they point to 7 They point to the
loftiest tumble for you next October that ever a
man got, if you don't fall into ranks again in dou
ble quick time. Y’ou have kicked out of har
ness old hoss, but fortunately for you, yon liav’nt
broke any tiling, and now just get your legs back
again over the traces and go along quietly, like a
well broke horse, and dout get frightened at the
Bullgiue. When Aleck Stephens goes again to Il
linois to have his picture painted, dont yon have
your doggery type taken too, or you’ll be hung up
along with il and left hanging there for Bob and
Aleck to come and to take you down, and wont
you have to wait a long time Gus 7 And when
Bob Toombs talks Douglas at you again do yon
make him write it, and sign bis name to it, aud
print it, or Bob will dodge you certain.
Now 1 know what you will say when yon see
me again, you’ll smile sweetly on your uncle Billy
iu that insinuating way, give your head a twist in
that amiable bnd-like way of yours and talk about
houor, convictions of duty, principles, &c. Now
Gus, they are all gammon when they dont pay and
to make them profitable you must maku them fol
low your load and not you follow theirs. Always
make your principles subservient to your interest,
and when it is to your interest to change your
principles, right about face at once, and make it a
point of honor as well as duty, to come down on
your old principles like a thousand of brick. And
that’s the way for you to get your foot out of this
Douglas business.
Bob and Aleck have got the start of you in the
race back to the Democratic stand, but you have
tiie wind and bottom and can beat them on the last
quarter stretch, if you dont spoil tlie sport by bolt
iug—there lies your danger. And when you get
sale back again, turn your pen into a tooth pick,
dye your whiskers with your ink, aud tear up your
writing paper. Don’t have any thing more to do
with Toombs and Stephens, and Douglas and all
that set of skylarkers. They are not the sort of boys
for you to associate with, they will always be get
ting you into trouble. Lean up to old Buck like a
sick kitten to a warm brick, cultivate Howell, dig
around him and dung him. Climb up the hill there
at Rome to Fort Lumpkin aud talk to John, tell
him you did'nt go to do it, you'll do so no more.
That's your platform Gus, stand to it, and Tumlin
may hug the hoys in vain; Gossamer Billy get as
tight and airy as a tom-tit to no further purpose,
and Chastain’s crop of biles won’t pay the expense
of cultivation.
As a parting injunction, I would advise you to
have the following little mottoes printed in large
letters and stuck in conspicuous places about your
house, so that whichever way you turn your eye
will light on at least one of them. No write—Not a
d—letter—Forgot hotc—Cross roads liis mark—Talk
to you all day—Say anything you want to hear—
But write never—wont pay—Quit—Learnt better
sense—PERISH PENMANSHIP—STATIONERY AV-
ALNT ?!!
Now Gus you have the benefit of your uncle
Billy’s counsel, and if you teel that you owe me
any return for it, you cau fully repay me by follow
ing it to the letter. Do so, aud if ever you rue it,
my name is’nt Wm. Woodpile.
Soma debate also arose, that might be of some
interest to the legal profession, but apace will not
permit us to take further notice of it.

Whereas, it is the duty, as it has been the cus
tom of Congress, when information touching the
interests of the people of the United States, is re
quired, to appoint a commissioner for the purpose
of obtaining the information desired
And whereas, within the limits of the State of
Georgia, there is contained a very large portion of
the Yellow Pine Belt, an amount larger, perhaps,
than in all the States which border upon the At
lantic, and upon which a very low estimate is
placed by many of our citizen,—stigmatized by
some as a “pine barren,” “a desert,” &c—but
which, if rightly appreciated, and understood,
would add millions to the wealth of our citizens,
would greatly increase the taxable property of the
State.
And wi.sreas, one of Georgia’s wisest and great
est Statesmen foresaw and predicted that the time
was not far distant, when our pine forest wonld
become of great value, and already we find that
the United States Government, startled by the rap
id destruction of the said pine forest, for agricultu
ral and other purposes, have withdrawn from sale
a large portion of her pine lands in Florida, for the
future use of the navy.
Resolved, therefore, by the General Assembly of
the State of Georgia, that our Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress be requested to use their
influence in having a commissioner appointed by
Congress to inquire into the limits and extent of
the Southern Pine belt, what will be the probable
time of its duration,under She present rate of deplo-
tion, the quantity of Pine Timber annually ship
ped, and in what counties, together with any and
all matters of interest connected with the sub
ject,
Resolved, that his Excellency, the Governor, be
requested to forward a copy of these Resolutions,
to each of our Senators and Representatives in
Congress.
