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.

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 COUNCIL CHAMBER, Saturday, 12di Nor. 1636.

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.
