(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 ber, 1805, entitled* “ Aw aft to eftsbliiTt the rmmber.of commissioners for- the town of Mil ]edgsvrile,and to extend and define their powers,’ 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 bove mentioned aft, and caused the public re cords to be brought here. /: copy of the re port and of the Proclamation above alluded to, will be found in packet No. 4. 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, since the adjournment of the last legislature, will be found in the document narked No. 5. Thi warrants drawn on the Treasury during the political year 1807, amount in the aggregate at you will perceive by the packet marked No. 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 for the militia cf this (late, in 311 y event whieh wight occur to render the ufc of them necdlary. 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 iellow-citizens of our lifter'Hates, as k tegards the means of carrying their wilhes ir.to execu tion. Lett me intreat you,- therefore, to delay no longer providing for the accomplishment-of tliit) all imp irtant objefk. That divine goodness may pee fide over fds, and fa harmonife and direst your deliberations, that, in-their issue the interest and welfare of tine Hate may be abundantly promoted, is the iin ccre and ardent prayer of your fellow ciuv.cn, JARED IRWIN.
