Thu late Governor, it will be remembered, recommend the removal of the Penitentiary. This we believe has been the deliberate recommendation of several Executives, as in dispensable to prevent the Institution being a constant and exhausting drain on the Treasury of the State.—Now that the recent fire has destroyed much of the value of the pre aent Institution, before we proceed to repairing, rebuilding and re-supplying, it would certainly be wise and prudent to take np first deliberately and decisively, the point so much urged by our public authorities, and by those, who have made themselves best informed, in relation to all in connec tion with the subject. If, after deliberate investigation, it is made apparent that the Institution cannot be successfully conducted at its pre sent location; if it is shown, that it must, while it remains be such a draft on the pockets of the people, as severely to embarrass the public Treasury, and its own operations ; if in fine.it is apparent that another location is only required to ensure its own support, leaving probably a surplus to the Slate, surely the Legislature will give that direction to the matter which common sense, and the most obvious policy, would seem to dictate. We trust the recommendation of the Executive will be promptly and efficiently acted on, and the Penitentiary, (if this mode of punishment shall be continued) removed to such a location as may enable it to answer its design, with out involving an annual and exhausting tax on the people to effect it. Gov. Crawford, transmitted the following Message on this subject to the Legislature, on Friday last.—Southern Recorder, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. Milledgeville, Nov. 17, 1834 I have the honor of laying before the General Assembly, the accompanying correspondence with the Principal Kee per of the Penitentiary in relation to the fire that occurred on the night of the 7th insL by which all the workshops and their contents were consumed. The plan of setting fire to the Penitentiary was concocted by some of the convicts, by means of a slow match with com municating trains of combustible materials, used by them in their daily occupation. The plot had been so adroitly laid, that when the fire broke out, it swept with great rapidity over the entire building, and defied pII efforts to subdue it. The generous exertions of the citizens and a Volunteer Company under the command of Capt, Kenan, saved the building containing the Cells from destruction, as well ns any ofthe convicts from making their escape. The loss is estimated at $30,000. It will be seen by the accompanying correspondence that the burning was deliberate, and susceptible of legal proof. In view of every interest, public or private, I have deemed the prosecution of the offenders indispensable. I have just been informed that the Grand Jury yesterday ignored the bill. This calamity necessarily brings in view the system and its consequences. It must be admitted that in its operation, it has not equalled public expectation. The reformation of those brought under its influence and authority has not been commesurate with the generous sympathies that originated or the large expenditures which have sustained it. In most cases it has only suspended the capability to perpetrate crime whilst the unlirppy being was in confinement. The spirit of the age, however, requires its continuant’s, without an abandonment of that active humanity ever intent !W the re formation of the unfortunate and vicious. SolitarJPKoufinetnem, without labor, is soqietimes atten ded with insanity. The policy that would Convert a felon into a madman, is to be abhorred. To labor without the power of communication with each other, it ia believed, is the most humane and improved plan. Mechanical pursuits thatare sedentary and accompanied with the leastnoise, are best calculated to awaken reflection in the convict, ond.altow the greatest efficiency in the police. In the execution of this scheme, it has occurred to my mind that a genera] applica tion of the labor in the Penitentiary might, in every view of the a abject, he directed to the cheaper manufactures oflen- ther. This experiment, as regards the expense to the Stnle, may he more cheaply made than in any other necessary mechanical pursuit. The implements of trade ’ ' * iht Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 1843. Our relations with Texas seem at last to have attracted the serious attention of the Government and of the people. It is supposed that the President will bring the subject, in all its bearings, before Congress, in his annual message, and that he will recommend the annexation of Texas to the Union, or, at least, propose some measures by which tin introduction of British power into Texas can be defeated Rumor is at fault in representing that the question, of an nexation has already been brought before the Cabinet; and the surmise, that it will cteate dissension there, is prema ture and without foundation. Mr. Hksshaxv, the Secreta ry of the Navy, visited Texas a few years ago, and, on his return, expressed liiirself strongly, as I understand, in fa vor of the annexation. Air. Upshur is known as a stren uous advocate of the proposition, and there is no doubtthat Messrs. Wickliffe and Nelson coincide with him. There is no good reason to doubt the concurrence of tire oilier two members of the Cabinet. In fact, should the question of annexation present itself as an alternative to the colonization of Texas by Great Britain, every man who is not a political abolition ist will go for it. Isay a political abolitjonist, because thousands of Northern anti-slavery men will, in such an issue, decide in favor of the annexa tion. The Madisonian urges, as the first step for this govern mem to take a reassertion ofour declaration that we will view as a belligerent act, any attempt on the part of any European government, to acquire a new colony on oar con tinent. So far, there can arise no hostility to the measures which the administration may propose. But it is easy to foresee that the question of annexation will provoke a most angry and bitter controversy, sectional and political. The long slumbering jealousy of scutheru influence will be aroused, and the fanaticism of abolition will be excited to fury. Mr. Adams, it seems, anticipated and predicted the occurrence of the question, in its present aspect, and in the course of his late travels, took occasion to preoccupy the public mind with his views on the subject. He will, no doubt, be prepared toexerthis utmost powers in the coming struggle. The question must become a leading and en grossing one in Congress, and disturb the harmony of par ties and the calculations of politicians. What will prevent the discussion of the question of slavery, in all its length and breadth, when the topic conies up 1 Mr. Adams will find the “gag,” whereof he has so much complained effec tually removed; and he will find men, who can “with rea son a ns trer him." Col. Johnson is here, and has received visits from his friends. He still receives court as a candidate for the Presidency, but has intimated that he will accept a nomina tion for the second office, if he cannot obtain the first. A rumor was started here to-day, that the President had invited Mr. Calhoun to take the office of Secretary of State, in order to conduct the negotiations in relation to Texan affairs; but it lacks any semblance of probability. From the Federal Union. Democratic Convention. Need we assign any better reasons to our Democratic friends, in order to invoke their hearty co-operation in car rying ont the work assigned them by the late meeting of the Democratic Members of the Legislature, whose proceed ings, on the subject of a Convention, we give below 1 If the knowledge of the facts, that duty to the country requires every Democrat to promote the success of such measures as may be adopted, in relation to the Presidency, by all honor able and honestmeans; the cause of Republican liberty de mands such exertions, in order that it may not be betrayed by the Federalists, the real “spoils men”—that the pros perity of the State and country, for several years, may de pend upon the result of the present movements of the party in this and other States. Let the Democracy of.Georgia, Tor the sake or the cause, semi from every county, a delega tion to ibis Convention. Tbis they can easily do, by follow ing out the three golden rules of a political campaigo, the first of which is Action ; the second Action ; and the thin! Action. DEMOCRATICCONVENTlON. At a meeting of the Democratic Members of the Legisla ture, held on the evening of the 17th insL, the following res olutions were unanimously agreed to, viz: Resolved, That it is expedient that a Convention of the Democratic Party of the State of Georgia, be held at Mil Iedgeville, on the 2d Monday in December next, to take the Presidential question into consideration, and to decide what course the Democratic party of this State, shall pursue in relation thereto. Resolved, Thatsaid Convention be composed ofdelegates from each county, equal to the number ofSenatars and Ilep- tesentatives. to which the respective counties are entitled in the Legislature. Resolved, That the Democratic Members of the Legis lature, be held and considered as members of said Conven tion from the counties respectively, represented by them, unless other delegates be appointed in their stead. * Resolved, That our Democrat!* brethren throughout the State, be earnestly requested to appoint delegates to said Convention, in order that a full meeting may be had, and the voice ofthe Democratic party he distinctly spoken upon tbis important subject.

Rail Ronds, An animated discussion is going on among some of our brethren of the Whig press relative to the State’s sub scription of $200,000 to the Stock of the Monroe Rail-Road Company. Some contend, without any good reason that we can perceive that the subscription ought not to he paid, al though made by Governor McDonald in strict conformity with the terms of the Law authorizing it; that it was a very unwise Law, seems now to be generally conceded, but its requisitions are not on that account, the less binding upon the Executive and the people. We think Governor Mc Donald did no more than bis doty (though he chose a strange time for doing it.) and the Legislature should re quire the strongest proof of fraud before they repudiate the contract.— Washington Fetes.

Our Milledgeville correspondents are rath er remiss, this Session. Hope they do not think more of the Levees, Soirees, and other fashionable pastimes of the metropolis, than of the interest and wishes of their constituents. costly, and the articles manufactured are always saleable. It is thought that the people of Georgia annually expend nut less than $2,000,000 for their boots and shoes, and that more than half of this is paid for these articles manufactured at a distance not less than 1,000 miles. Probably, even the raw hides are collected from all parts of the State, and sent to the North, to be prepared for these fabrics. Having the advantage in the price, oflabor, the daily duration oTtliat labor,the cheap tnaintainance ofthe operatives, and proxi mity to the market, we might consider these as in some res pects countervailing the superiority of skill elsewhere in a very simple mechanical art. It, liowe'-ermay happen that this and neighboring markets may he surcharged with the manufacture of this species of labor, and that hereafter the State may desire to direct it to some oilier pursuit. In such - case, I recommend that it shall be without the walls ofthe Penitcmiary, such ns employment*)!! the public works. A consultation with Gen. C. ll. Nelson, has induced the be lief that this would have been the cheapest and most profi table mode of employing the convicts; and I would have recommended an entire change >o that effect, in their labor, if Iliad believed that it was consistent with the laws by which they are held in confinement. I am however impres sed, that the sentence which deprives the convict of his li berty but confines him to a particular place, constitutes a portion of his privileges, and should not be taken from him by retroactive legislation. To avoid future difficulty on this subject, I respectfully suggest thru the penal laws be so changed that the convicts hereafter may he sentenced to im prisonment and liatd labor in the Penitentiary, or else where in the State, and that their labor may be applied where it may he most profitable to the State, a’nd with due regard to their moral reformation. GEORGE W. CRAWJFORD. Important from Yucatan. CapL Peters of the schr. Denmark, informs ns that the commissioners to Mexico, on the part of the Government of Yucatan, have arrived at Campenchv. He atates farther, that the government of Mexico had made propositions for the final settlement of difficulties with Yucatan, and it was believed they would be acceded to. Tins intelligence is confirmed by our Mexican papers. 'i'.be Yucatan commissioners confirm the intelligence of the disagreement between the English Charge d'Affairs, Mr. Dcyle, and the Mexican governmenL—N. O. Cour. Thq Sugar Crop. The N. O. Bulle.’in says : For some weeks past, the papers published in the parishes where sugar is cultivated, nave continued to inform us that the sugar crop ol this year must inevitably be considerable shorter than that ofthe last. We have given weight to these statements in our mind all along, but preferred waiting un'il we could obtain some clear data. We have now just conversed with a gentle man who has happened to circulate extensively through the sugar plantations, and who is intelligent and wholly disin terested, and he gives it as his free opinion, from all he has learned, that the crop of this year, although it may be of good quality, will fall short of the quantity of that of last year fully one third. Should this estimate prove correct, the sugar crop of Louisiana will be no more than sufficient to supply the wants of the upper country. From Vera Cruz. At New York on Sunday, Captain Biseoe of the Eugene, arrived from Vera Cruz, reports that Santa Anna arrived at Manga de Clava four days before'he sailed, with 4000 troops and $300,000 to pay off the troops. Col. Anderson TV. Redding, Representative from Harris county, has been appointed, we un derstand, principal keeper of the Penitentiary—in the place of Gen. C. H. Nelson, removed. The Bill of last session to reduce the number of the Members of the Senate and House of Repres entatives, we understand has passed both branches of the Legislature—and has of course become a part of the Constitution of this State. Restoration of Deformed I.imbs. We are sure, it will be highly gratifying to every one, who is himself or ha3 children or ser vants laboring under the inconvenience of club, reel or deformed feet, to know, that the same can be cured without an expensive trip to the North, or to Euiope. Dr. A. Walter formerly of Pittsburgh Pa. who has had considerable experience in this important science, is now in this city, and will re main a few weeks, in the pursuit ofhis profession. He may be found at the Washington Hall. From the recommendations we have seen, we do not hesitate to say, that all who call on Dr. W. will be satisfied ofhis skill. He also operates on the Eye, for Strabismus or squinting. Death of n Senator. On yesterday, the death of A. M. SANDFORD, Esq.

Neither the question ofthe annexation of Texas, nor any passage in the President's Message relative to that question, has as yet, I have reason to believe, been submitted to the Cabinet. Nevertheless, the subject is noticed in the mes sage, and President does recommend the annexation of Tex as to the Union; or, at least, some treaty with Texas by which her “recolonization*' will be prevented. There is no doubt, as you suggest, that the Secretary of State u a strenuous advocate ol the annexation of Texas. but it does not appear so clearly that all the other members ofthe Cabinet are opposed to it. On the contrary, should the subject be formally brought before tbe Cabinet, the Pre sident's views will probably meet with support from more than one, or even two members ofthe Cabinet. It is now certain that this startling proposition, which has slumbered for years, and has peen supposed to be adandon* ed, will be brought prominently before Congress, and in the most imposing form. It will not want able advocates there; and it is likely to agitate the country, and embarrass and divide political parties. The position of Texas, geographical, physical, aad moral is such that she cannot remain an independent nation. She must go back to Mexico, become a colony of Great Britain, or form an iniegral portion of the union. This country can not be indifferent to the result, Whether we can permit the colonization of Texas by Great Britain, consistently with our commercial interests, w'ith the peace and security of the southern States, and with the policy avowed by tbis go vernment diiring Mr. Monroe’s administration, Is a matter for grave consuleraiion. On the other hand, an annexation of Texas to the Union, with the assent of both parties, promises great advantages to the manufacturing and navigating inter ests of this country. What the southern agriculturalinter- ests are to gain by it, is more than I can see. True, it will releive the southern States of their slave population. ^ It will drain them of population capital, and energies, and give , I them no political advantages of corresponding importance. I From Jamaica. There is a rumor noticed in the Baltimore Patriot, that the Government troops were to be removed from all the British West India Islands, and the militia to be placed un der more strict discipline. One-third of the 33d regiment, stationed atBerpice, had been carried offby yellow fever. Eightv*eiglit emigrants (negroes) had arrivod at Trinidad from Sierra Leone. The Collector of the Customs at Nevis Henry Harding, Esq- was drowned in September by the ac cidental upsetting of a boat. Trial nnit Sen la nee for Itfurder. At Pickens Court, last week, Martha Brown, formerly Martha Cannon, was tried for the murder of her husband William Brown. The evidence was entirely circum stantial, we are informed, says the Pendleton Messenger, but the circumstances were so very strong, that the jury ren dered a verdict of GU1LTT. He was shot whilst^ lying in bed at night, and it was supposed that the gun or pistol, was introduced through a crack within a few inches ofhis head. Previous quarrels and threats on the part of the wife were proven, and these with her conduct on the night of the mur der, satisfied many of her guilt- She was sentenced by Judge Butler, to be Hanged some time in January next. The New Jer»ejr Tragedy* After more than six months of mystery, there seems at last a clue to the peipetratorsof the horrid murder of old Mr, Parke, John Cmsmer, his wife and child, which was perpe* trated in Warren county, New Jersey, on the 1st day of May. A German named Augustus Miller, was arrested at Philadelphia, on Thursday night last, on a charge based on his own confession, ot having committed the horrible act, aided by an accomplice who is not known. As he has not yet undergone a judicial examination, we await further de velopments. The lUail Rebher* Edward A. Crandall, the Post Master at Camak, on the Georgia Rail-Ro«d, has been sentenced to ten years confine ment in the Penitentiary, by tbe Federal Court, for robbing the mail. Great hopes are entertained, that he is the ring leader oftlie numerous crimes of this sort, which have, for years past.beeo perpetrated on the Road from tbis place to Augusta.—Federal Union.

The Court of the dueen’a Bench, Dublin, opened for the trial of O’Connell and his brother agitators on the 2d. The indictments covered the enormous space of thirty-three skins of parchment. An attempt lias been made to indict tlie government reporter, on whose testimony every thing depends, for perjury. No part of the evidence had been given in when the Caladonia sailed. IRELAND. Ireland continues quiet. The country is extensively oc cupied with troops—in fact, the whole available force of the British army has been thrown into it—the agitation, somewhat subsided in tone, but equally effective in action, continues—the Repeal coffers are swelled by thousands weekly—the much talked of Conciliation Hall lias been opened—two or three men of mark have joined the move ment just attlie moment it become critical—ond the pro ceedings against the agitators in connexion with the unhap py blunder of the government short hand writer respecting the identity of Mr. Bartett.coupled with the present jory panel, and other matters, lead to the belief that the whole affair has been managed badly. COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The recent accounts brought by the Great Western have had a tendency to deaden the Cotton Market, as the belief is general that the new crop, if not an average one, will be a fair crop, and that with the immense stock of the staple held in Europe, and especially in Liverpool, prices cannot rise beyond the point which they have touched during the last few weeks. The probability is, that prices will retro- gade. This is the feeling in the manufacturing districts, and the flatness which has marked the market recently has not been owing to any falling off in orders or tlie state of trade generally, hut the result ofthe feeling to which we have alluded. A Manchester circular, published by an em inent house at the end ofthe month, states that “although less has been done, manufacturers firmly refuse contracts at|lo»rer prices than are currently quoted, from a belief that orders ore held hack in the expectation of a decline.” Another houee in London, referring to the existing feeling, is still more emphatic. “At no period.” they say, “within the present century, has the commerce ofthis country been in a more wholesome state than at the present time—manufac turers generally being fully employed, both for the home trade a3 well ns for export, without producing a surplus of stock.” The fate excited stnle oftlie Colton market at Li verpool, it isgenerally believed, was produced by means not justified by tliecondition of trade or tlie state of stocks, and the authorities we have quoted, confirming, ns they do, our own private advices, will go far to disabuse tlie commercial community* in the Western World of any misaporehension under which they may have labored on the subject.— IFIf- mer 4* Smith’s Am. Ncics Letter. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 3. Up to yesterday our Cotton market had a decided tenden cy downwards; prices of American receded jd to jd, and Surat jd per lb. but after the arrival of the Great Western, tlie trade began to assume a mon cheering aspect, and tlie quotations to-day show little amiration from those of the preceding Friday.—The demand has again improved, and we have now a fair business doing. The stiles on the whole have been .small, merely amounting to 16,050 hales, viz. 14,- 290 American, 530 Brazil, 400 Egyptian, 80 West Indies, and 720 East India. Speculators have bought 5,000 Amer ican. HAVRE COTTON MARKET. Oct. 31.—Since last report our market has been in a dull and declining state, a complete reaction lias taken place in business, the sales have been extremely limited, and on some days scarcely a bale lias changed hands. Nov. 1.—Our Cotton market ia extremely dull, and should the next advices from the United States be in favor of an average crop, prices will certainly recede. Speculators ap* pear anxious to realize. examination. For tlie last twelve months, that institution has been managed in a manner highly detrimental to the public interest, and disgraceful to those who have had con trol thereof. Indeed, terms of censure cannot be found suf ficiently forcible, to express our unqualified condtmnat : on of the individuals to whom we refer. The conductof Dr.THO- >us A. Parsons, who lias had charge of the Asylum, under a contract with die Right Honorable Inferior Court of the county, has been violative of every principle of humanity and common honesty: nevertheless, the peculiar* circum stances of the case, although they do not diminish the offen der’s guilt, shield him from iudictment on the criminal side of the'Court. We, therefore, recommend the Inferior Courtiinmediate- ly (to discharge said Parsons, from an office which he lias disgraced, and to commence the most energetic suit upon his bond for damages. The conductof the Justices of tlie Inferior Court, relating to the Asylum, we are in duty and justice bound to condemn. The plan of farming out the institution to contractors, whose mercenary natures continually lead them to violate their trust, we do entirely coudemn. Especially do we condemn a portion of said Court, for retaining in office the said Dr. Parsons, when they were fully aware of his gross miscon duct—thereby becoming themselves accessories to his crimes. We also recommend to said Justices, that, in future, some proper person be engaged, at a fixed salary, to superintend said Asylum; and that said person or persons, be requi red to give bond and security, for the faithful discharge of His or tkeir duty. Also, that be or they be required ts make monthly reports to said Court, of the situation of the institu tion—embracing the nmnber of paupers, the current expen ses, deaths, diseases, Ac. Ac. Ac.; and that those reports be published. Upon examination, we find that the office of County Treas urer is filled by one of the Justices of the Inferior Court, to wit: R_ B. Washington. Soch an appointment we deem a violation of tlie intent and spirit of tlie Statute creating the office of Treasurer. The official bond is payable to the Justices of the Inferior Court, and suit thereon for breach of trust, must be brought by them; therefore, for one of that body to hold said office, opens tlie door to the grossest mal practice, and invites, as experience has proven, the most fraudulent combinations. We do, therefore, solicit said Robert B. Washington to resign said office of Treasurer; and that the Court, in case of Tiis refusal to resign, do re move him from office, and never hereafter allow one of their body to hold the same. We would most respectfully urge upon the Inferior Court, a compliance with the wishes of the Grand .1 urv. in regard to the Treasurer’s office, and the suit against the Poor House Contractor, and in regard to the removal of that officer; and in case of their refusal to do so, we request them to resig.i their offices, and rtiake way for others, who are disposed to comply with the wishes of the community, in these respects. The Grand Jury, on examination ofthe Clerk's Books of tlie Inferior Court, find no registry of the names of the Poor of this connty; neither do they find on record on the Min utes of the Court, many of the most important orders up" propriating the public funds. Tbe Grand Jury, therefore" recommend to the Inferior Conrt of the county, to have all* orders, appropriating tie funds of the county, regularly en tered on tlie Minutes of the Court; and that the said orders be countersigned, “ Recorded by the Clerk,” before they are paid by the Treasurer. They would also recommend, that no orders be signed, except in open Court. The Grand Jury especially "6001111110011 the Managers of Elections, in the county of Bibb, for Members of the Legis lature and County Officers, not to suffer any man fo vote in said Elections, who hzs not paid the Taxes which are requi red by the Constitution ond Laws of the State; and that the Tax Collector be requested to furnish the Managers of said Elections with a full list of such defaulters, on the opening of the polls. * The Grand Jury have examined tlie Jail, and find itkept in a very neat and cleanly manner. We recommend l in the most urgent manner, to our Sen ator and Representatives in the General Assembly, to use their influence to have all laws now in force, authorizing the Inferior Conrt of tbis county, to i-rpose a higher Tax liiau forty per cent. 011 the general State Tax, for county purpo ses, and not mote than tweuty-five per cent, for Poor Tax, repealed. We leave for our successors, the examination of the Books ofthe Clerks oftlie several Courts. We also leave for them, an examination into the state of the Roads and Bridges. And also, an examination into the state of the County Treasury. _ ... And to them, we confide the business of looking into tlie state of our community, arising from intemperance and re tailing spirituous liquors to negroes. To the three last, and the patrol, we earnestly recommend their special and early attention. We would also direct their attention to the general neg- ect of the Patrol Law. We, the Grand Jury.allow Richard Bassett,Tax Col lector, four hundred and sixteen doIlnrs*3*l j cents, lor the State insolvent list, for the year 1843, anil four hundred nntl sixteen dollars 34J for the County insolvent tax list, for 1843. We further allow Richard Bassett thirty-six dollars 30} cents for his Stale insolvent list for the'yenr 1842; and to the same we allow thirty-six dollars 39} cents for his county insolvent list, for the vear 1842.— We recommend that the tax of Ambrose Chapman be remitted, so far as the county is concerncd,_upon tlio ground of his having given and paid his faxes in Monroe county; also thnt the excess of tax on Thomas Taylor he remitted, on the ground of his land having heott taxed as one-third quality land, instead of prime land, from the occasion of a mistake in the return. In taking leave of his Honor Judge Tracy, we present him our thanks (or his aide charge, nnd also for his faith ful and impartial administration of his office; and we deeply regret tliut the time allow, d for an examination into county affairs, 1ms not enabled the Grand Jury to at tend to alt his Honor’s recommendations. To the Solicitor General, Augustin S. Wingfield, Esq., we tender our thanks for his kind ond gentlemanly atten tion to this Body, and for his diligence in prosecuting the business of the State. We recommend and request that these Presentments be published in all the paper* of tlie city. SAM’L B. HUNTER, Foreman. II. L. Cook, Daniel D. McNtel, Jonathan Wilder, Henry Newsom, Janies M.
