My propo (aion to them was promptly met, and with a liberality which does the conductors of those inftitu tions muck credit. A large (urn iti specie was promised, and has fmcc hee j n paid, or is ret Jy to be paid to the Directors of the State Bank. This Bank ia now, and has been for fame time pall in op-ration in Savannah, sad branches are now establish ed at (his place and in Augufla, Z'i required by law. From this Jevelopement of fads, you will perceive the ncctflity of an ap pr< priaiion at theprelent Stliion, i to cover as well the firfl pay ment. as alio the fecotid which has been fome time due, but which can be made as soon as appropriated. Indeed, it may be more proper to appreciate the w hole amount, by which the Ex ecutive will be e’ abh c! to com ply with the requihnons made by the Bank on the amount of the fuhlcription, until the whole [hall be paid. By the appropriation law for the present year, a fpecific sum and fund was designated, from which to pay the State's quota of Direct Tax r > the U. States for the year i 3 16 ; but upon examination, it was found to be doubtful, whether the fund de lignated, could be relied upon for this pay me ut, so as to give the (late the advantage ot the difeouat of io or 15 per centum on tire amount of the lax. Arid the (latticing hi polfiflion of drafts of the TVeafurer of the United States, to a competent amount, payment was tendered in those drabs, and after fome difficulty on the part ot the Se cretary of the Tteafury, accept ed ; leaving a quefiion which arose on the fubyeft of nolke, for the decinon of Cungrtls.— ! he corrcfj-iondcnci: betwe en the Executive and the Secretary of j the Tv.*i'lory, herewith lubmit. ted, will funnfh ab the requisite 13'hr to a dear and full under tlindinc* of this fu! ;. eb It may however, be proper to appro pri it the amount, so as to au tborile a wariaht to he drawn ; for although the amount in mo ney never was i:i our Treasury, the payment htning been made hv way of diieuni, yet it may be the la fell course, to cor.fider to? drafts as money, since they have been received in payment :s Inch.

To an agricultural (late like Georgia, whole pro ducts are not only of great value, but of great bulk, and intended for exportation, the facility of getting them to market, is an object of the very firfl import ance. And here f bog leave trt repeat what 1 have before said 1 upon a similar occasion, that the present authority by winch the public roads and bridges are j made and repaired, is too local. t A fuperintendant appointed by the Legrilature or tlie Executive, in each Military division, or Ju dicial diitricl, clothed with the competent authority and means, for procuring and applying the neceflary labor, would, I am persuaded, be productive or much benefit in this patticuiar. By the death of our worthy revolutionary fiddler k patriotic citizen, Major General John Twiggs, of the cd Division, and the removal of Major General John Clarke, of the jd Division of cur militia, the duty of filling the vacancies thereby occasioned, now devolves upon the Legifla ttire. And it is my duty to re mind you, that in addition to those State Officers which the Conflitptiun reejuires you to deft: during your prefint Scfiion, you will have toappainf eight Electors of Piefidcnt and Vice ['reftdent of the United States, and a Se nator to ro present this (fate in the Senate of the United States.
