GOV. SCHLEY’S MESSAGE.
Tnc annual Messago* of our State Governor* to
their respective Legislatures, are among the improve
ments in die science of government to which die
world is indebted to the inventive genius of the peo
ple of the United States. The comprehensive view
of the present condition, and narradvc of important c-
vents as they transpire, is at once important to the pre
sent and the future. The politician and statesman
who wish to keep pace with the timer, and be inform
ed of all important occurrences; and the historian
who seeks • ready index to the history nnd condition of
a particular State in a particular year, has but to re
fer to die Governor's Message of die Slate and yaar
indicated, to find the information he desires.
At this day, so trodden has been die path of Execu
tive duties, and so simplified and systematized his la
bors, that in general they are so plain and easy as to
be surmountable by any one of ordinary capacities.—
The same, however cannot lie said of the dudes of
Governor Schley. , Ilia situation from the time of his
lira entering his office has been peculiar; his respon
sibilities great; and his labors arduous. The office of
Governor, whatever it may be in other States, is at no
time in Goorgia a sinecure—owing to the immense
correspondence depending upon our Indian rotations
and boundary questions, hardly yet settled—besides the
issuing laud grants, &c.—all of which have to pass
through the hands of the Governor. And the past
year, additional responsibilities and unexpected anxi
eties have devolved upon him, from die attitude as
sumed by the Seminole and Creek tribes of Indians.—
\Vc feel warranted in suying, that no Chief Magis
trate of Georgia, for the last 'JO years, has occupied a
post more arduous than has been that of Gov. Schley
since the voluntary suffrages of his fellow-citizens pla
ced him in die Executive Chair. And,for die manner in
which he bus discharged those duties and responsibili
ties, the prosperity of the State, the quietness of our
borders arc die best commentary.
As a Stale paper, the Message of Governor Selilcy
fills not behind those of any of his predecessors, or co-
trmpnniries, that we have seen. If it contain* not as
many subtleties of reasoning upon abstract point* a*
does that of Governor McDuffie, it contains as many
sound facts, and wholesome political axioms, more in
telligible to tlie common sense, business habits and pa
triotic feelings of the |ieople.
On the absorbing question of connecting the interior
of Georgia with the Great West, by a-Rail Road thro*
the mountains, wc nro gluj t*> find the Governor co-in-
cidcj with the popular current. “ Personal interest-
public utility—State pride—every feeling (he says)
which should impel men to exertion in a good cause,
uppc.il to us most signally in b -half of this stupendous
object." And we rejoice also to lcnru, that the servi
ces of a roiiqieteut engineer have been procured, on
the pari of the .State; and that he is now engaged in
examining die pusses through the mountains, and re-
ports, favorably of the practicability of die enterprise.
On tin- subject of the Surplus Revenue, die ideas of
die Governor correspond will; our own. Ho con
demns the tendency of the system it is die intention of
the lit-positc law to perpetuate—but in the meanwhile
recommends that the proportion coming to Georgia
be received—because by receiving it we violate no prin
ciple; and if rejected it would go to die other States,
and strengthen opposition to any objection wc might
make to die measure. He also suggests, dial the mo
ney be loaned 1 out, on good security—ready to be
returned when called for.
The largest half of the Message (six columns in all)
relates to the Seminole, Creek and Cherokee affairs,
with the military operations dependent thereon. A
brief satisfactory detail of the events that have occur
red, so far as Georgia is concerned, is furnished; which
it is not necessary here to recapitulate. A richly dis
served compliment is paid to the gallantry of our offi
cers and men engaged in the service; while an oblique
censure is cast upon Gen. Jessup, of the U. 8. Army,
Roms deficiencies, long felt in our Militia law, are ad
verted to.
The importance of a Supreme Court for the Carrec-
tion of Errors, is enjoined upon the Legislature: and
that body is urged to proceed to organize such a Court,
in pursuance of die requirements of die amended
Constitution.
The Penitentiary, die State House, and other pub-
tic buildings, claim a paragraph each; as well as the
subject of Education, the Deaf and Dumb, the propri
ety of a Lnnatic Asylum, &c. Ac.

Of the Grand Jury nf Houston county, October Term,
183b.
T HE Grand Juror* of Houston county, chosen,
selected and sworn for October T«»n, 1836,
take pleasure in stating that they have no wro.’igs of a
serious nature to present—no crimes of an aggravated
or heinans character demanding vindictive justice.—
Truths like these are alone sufficient to speak the rapid
advance of moral* in our tlpurishing county, whilst all
around evince the growth of our intellectual, physical
and pecuniaiy resources. Under these circumstances
wc may look with expectation to the time When a still
greater influence will be exercised to the suppression
of vice and immorality.
Public opinion sanctioning the usage of bodies of this
character in expressing tiieir opinions on subjects of
general interest, we dicrefore express our belief in the
immense utility likely to be derived from the contem
plated Court for die* Correction of errors. Believing
that but few yean will elapse before the uncertainty
of what die laiv now is, will thereby be removed, and
uniformity and certainty will prevail. We therefore
recommend to our Senator and Representatives to
give their aid to promote this much desired end.
We request of the Justices of the Inferior court a
strict oversight of persons appointed by them to carry
to effect the road laws; believing that the passage of

A GREEABLY to tho provisions of the act of the
General Assembly of the State of Georgia, pas
sed the 26th December, 1835, entitled *‘an act to in
corporate a Rail Road company, to be called the Wes
tern Rail Road Company, &c.” wo will open, in the
town of LaGrange, Troup county, on the third Mon-
cay in November inst. a book of subscription for stock
in the aforesaid Rail Road Company. (See acts of
the General Assembly of the Slate of Georgia, 1835.
page 292.)
As this route is to connect the trade of the great
Western cities aud country by its union with the Mont
gomery and West Point Rail Rond (now building.)
with tho Atlantic, and must necessarily become the
great Uiproughl'are for traveling from the Western
country to the North, it is believed the stock will be
sought*eagerly: 'applications had therefore better be
made early ami while it can be bad.
