(jVeek nahof, r.n the hotly of Samuel Grcrn, a
Jiarmlefs unoffending citizen. Immediately on
mr receiving information of this tranfaftion, I
’. o nimtttncalecl the particulars of it to col. Haw.
kins, the i'uperintendant of Indian affairs i that
nation j who, it appears by his letter to me of
of June, had been apprised of the circum
tance before my communication reached him. j
j? rofn mv knowledge of the anxiety of col.;
Hawkins to preserve peace on our frontier, and 1
4,, ample jufticeto the citizens on all occalions,
J-think I may be warranted in faying, that his
utnnalt exertions will not be wanting to bring
the perpetrators of this aft to punishment.
Tn ccnlequence of the high waters during the
{ H d faring, several of the surveyors of the late ac
quired territory were prevented fin idling their dis
tnfti within the-time contemplated ; the draw
ing of the land lottery did not therefore com
rcencc until the ICth of August. It was howev
er, completed on the 24th of September, a much
earlier period than was expofted, and grants are
datlv ifffring to the fortunate persons therein for
she lots drawn by them. It will rest with you
to make appropriation for the pay of the mana
gers of the hotteff. I thought proper to draw
01 the contirgent fund in their favor for one
hundred dollars each in part for their services.
In justice to the managers I must add, their talk
was an arduous one, they met it w ith cheerful
nffs, and diligently and fatisfaftorily discharged
their duty.
Under an aft, pa. Tod the 7th day of Decem

the commissioners of Milledgcville reported to
ni” on the frith day of September la ft, that the
State-house, hi this place, was in such readiness
that the present feflion of the legiflaiure could
b* held therein, in coufequence of which I is
fupd the proclamation required of ne by the a

The state has again been deprived of an aula
and patriotic ftatefraan in the death of the Hon.
Abraham Baldwin. In the recolleftion of his
fcyvicesand virtues, I know you will be penetra
ted, in common with your fellow-citizens
throughout the state, with emotions of the deep
est regret for the lols we have fultaincd. The
vacancy thereby occr.fioned in the Senate of the
United States, I have filled by the appointment
of the honorable George Jones. This with o
tlier Executive appointments made", under the
Sth feftion of the 2d article of the Conflitution,

fe'i to the £um of feyenty-feven thousand and fc
yenty-eig'at dollars, sixty-sour and three quarter
cents. Out of the fifteen thousand dollars ap
propriated to me as a contingent fund, I have
drawn to the amount of nine thousand seven hun
dred and twenty dollars, twenty-nine and a quar
ter cents. The warrants drawn on this fund, In
compliance with condor red and approved refo{u
tions of the lad legidature—-the pay advanced
the managers of the land lottery, as above men
tioned, and the expence attending the removal of
the records to this place, have served to make the ;
amount thus large—-the contingent expences o
t her wife have not been greater than usual :
Tcannot conclude this communication with
out endeavoring to impress on year minds, the
liecefhty of making proviilon for the furnifhing
a quantity of atms and ammunition fullicient

The dastardly and treacherous attack cf the
Britiih flip of war Leopard, on the’ American
frigate Chesapeake, serves to convince us, that
lipwever great may be our anxiety to'be in
peace with the rest of the world, it is effer.tial
that we should be at all times prepared for war.
The unanimity and ipirit mamfefted by cur fel
low-citizens throughout’ the U.’ States on this
occasion, cannot but be gratifying to you all ;
but what different fenfatioa mult be produced
when we refleift, that if called into- the field,
they would hot be on an equal footing with their

no longer providing for the accomplishment-of

That divine goodness may pee fide over fds,
and fa harmonife and direst your deliberations,
that, in-their issue the interest and welfare of

unless they come forward and render
