That the com pany provided for in thisaCt, and hereinafter more especially incorporated and authorised, shall and may direct and confine their first efforts and enterprise to the formation and completion of a rail road communication be tween the City of Augusta and some point in the interior of the State, to lie agreed upon bv the stockholders, which road shall he call ,-d the Union Rad Road :—and the same he mg completed,the company sh ill liave|iowcr to construct three Branch Rail Roans, begin omg at llie poiut agreed iq*»n as the teriinii. i -ition of the Union Roa.l, or such point for the middle road as the stockholders may select; —-oue running to Athens——one to Latonton and the third to Madison, in Morgan county ; which branch! s shall be created simultane | oualy ; Provided, the amount of slock sub { scribed will warrant that completion of all at the same tinwsfcif »he stork subscribed writ not warrant the completion of all said branches at one and the same tune, then that branch •hall be first completed which the stock holders may by vote designate. The eom puny •ball hive the fuither power to conlinnr Iha Eat on toe ftrincb " citwartly*Hto I Athens branch towards any point which may |ho agreed upon, on the Tennessee River and the Madison road to some point on the Alabama line.—All of w hich shall be done at such time and iu such manner as tin* stock holders may direct. The second section being read viz. •See. 2. Tiro company shall have the ex clusive privilege of constructing rail roads trout any point in this -State within twenty miles of the road herein designated as Hie Union Road ami its branches, leading to Ea tuition, Athens and .Vladison,continuously to tin* city of Augusta, for and during the term •*f thirty .six years: Hrmdcd, That nothing herein contained shall prevent the construc tion of rail roads by other companies from Savannah to Augusta, or from Macon or Co lumbus to Savannah, or branch roads, with tho consent of the Georgia R.iil Road C mt pany, from any point in this Statu to the Un ion Road or its branches. Mr. Davis of Glynn, moved the follow ing amendment. Provided nevertheless that in this act shall uroliibit the incorporation of other rail road companies from Eatoiitoo, Mod tic el lo, Lawrenccville, or any other point iu that section of the State to Macon. Mi. King of Mclntosh, moved to substi tute the following. Provided nevertheless that the State ic serves the right to a road or canal or roads or canals or any other work of General Im provement and benefit across said rail roads at any point or points it may deem expedient or to grant the privilege lo any companies or | individuals. Also tile right of granting to companies or individuals or of constructing like works from any point on said rail road to any point or points on the sea board. Alter a few remarks by these gentlemen, Mr. Williamson, moved to strike out ail tiiat part of the section w hich gives to the com pany an exclusive privilege, being all except, die proviso. This motion being determined to be in order was argued nt some length by Messrs Williamson, for and Messrs.

Mr. Steelman, then moved lo substitute 20 instead of 30 years for the duration of tne ex clusive right. But before any question was taken on this motion, the house suspended further proceedings to receive the Senate for the election of a U. States Senator. On resuming the consideration of the rail road hill and the second section being under consideration Mr. Steelman’s motion was lost. Mr. Burns, moved to insert the words “or Milledgeville,” after the word Savannah” where it first occurs so as to allow the con struction of a rail road from Milledgeville to Augusta. Lost. The question now being on llie amendment offered by Mr. King of Mclntosh, was argued by Mr. K. for and Mr. Davis of Glj nn, against it. Mr. Ilatris of Walton moved to lay the bill on the tabic for the present. This was opposed by Mr. Young of Oglethorpe, ami alter some further discussion between Messrs. Cooper, and King of Mclntosh, in which iney went somewhat at large as the other gentlemen had done into the principles in enlved in the several amendments proposed, the motion lo lay me Din on me table lurtiie present was carried. Mr. Sliick, presented a memorial from the citizens of Savannah which was deferred. After disposing of some local and private hills the house took up the hill to reduce the fees or grants of the late lottery and after some amendment passed it, reducing the lees on land grants to 810 arid on gold to 8-i. The house then went into committee of the whole on the bill to limit and define tin* possessions ot the Indians. [l’revcnting frauds in taking their lescrvalions, and confining ihem to the improvements they liad at the : time of survey, with so iiiucn woodland as | may be necessary for fencing, building, fuel, Ate. j The yeas and n iys being caileu for on tiic passage. Mr. Young of Ogicthorpc, requested some explanations. Mr. Harris of Walton, explained at some ! length the objects and tendencies of the hill, i Air. Young, approved oi the rest of the • hill, hut was op|*osed to that part ol it winch ! proposed lo circumscribe their possessions so | eio>‘ ly. lie said that it was unjust and ruin ’ ous to the Indians. When it was first deter* j mined uj>on to lottery off and occupy these ! lands, those who advocated that measure, * deemed the provision of the existing lottery j act, in favor of the Indians, as but just to ] them and as strictly defining and limiting our right of encroachment. Bet uov* it seems j tiiey are to he enclosed by the fences, as : Utcv originally siood at the tunc of the sur : vev of me country, fcihould these small en ! closures prove too small to subsist a growiiu; family, they must then remove or starve. All • Illsfeature ol tne bill .Mr. k. said was utterly abhorrent to bis feelings. I rue in great bu tuanity you do propose to let them cross thetr ! little Ln.su fences to get a lew rails or a litt.c fire wood, w be raver the tender mercies of the Mates agent snail designate. But wh it avails | ibis prodigal waste of your bounty. Wby al low them fuel to wann the body when the support of life i* thus cut off. lue honorable member from Halloa, urges as the only rea son that strong legislation is required upon them from the country. Sir, said Mr. V. if this be Ihe object, let as pursue it boldly and somew hat noblv. Let us abandon this petit i larceny policy and close their doors upon them at once, or drive them before the* bayonet to j the Rocky Mountains. To me such a course would U- infinitely preferable, as t deem it i mfiiiiiclv more manly. To that portion of ibe lull, winch directs the graulmj: ol the lots ’ in the possession of Indians who have t-.ki n reserves in loroier treaties, ami having so.d them, are now intruders upon the portion which fill to the tr country men Ido n-»t ; Having taken bv reserve their individual share I of tbc |snd», which were held in common by Vaiil lIE I \LTIEIEIt 40. tiieir countrymen, they cannot now complain, that they arc not permitted to possess them selves of another and a double portion; nnd that this provision of the hill tiny not he lost' hr its association with one utterly objectiona ble and unjust; 1 move to recommit the bill* This motion was lost. After some discussion on oilier points of order the yeas and nays were called on the passage of the hill and were yeas Sonars Cl. The house then adjourned. Friday, Nov. 22. Mr. Meriwether, moved to reconsider the rote of yesterday on the passage of the hill to confine the Indians to such possessions a» they had at the time of survey. The motion was supported hv Messrs. Meriwetlier.Starke, Young of Oglethorpe, Hardeman and Ward; opposed by Messrs. Harris of Walton, and Walker of Lumpkin, and carried—Yeas 100, Nays 50. Air.

Mr. Davis, of Upson reported a bill to in corporate a cotton and wool manufacturing company, in Upson county, i After the transaction of some business of ' form or of a local nature the House adjourned, I From the Virginia Gssstte ol April 23, 1803, Sliooting Mar* 30 year* ago. This electrical phenomenon was observed ; on Wednesday morning last at Kicliuiond, ■ and its vicinity, in a manner that alarmed manv, and astonished every person wno be* . heW ' u. From one until three in the morn -1 mg, those slurry meteors seemed to (all lroiu 1 every point in ilic heaven, in such number* /as to resemble a shower of sky rockets- I The inhabitants happened at the same hour ; to be called from tiieir bouses by tbe lire bell, which was rung on account or a tire mat i.rokc out in one of the rooms ot the Armoury, but which was speedily extinguished. Every one, therefore,Jiad ail opportunity of witness ing a scene of nature, which never before was displayed in tins part ot the globe, and ; which, probably, will never appear again.— ; Several of those shooting meteors were ac companied with a tram ot fire, Unit illumi nated the sky for a considerable distance.— One, in particular, appeared to tall trom the Zenith, ol the apparent size of a hull ol tire i eighteen inches diameter, that lighted for several seconds the » hole hemisphere. Dut ) ing the continuance of tuis remarkable pile ' noinciioii, a hissing noise in the air was plain ly heard, and several reports, resembling the ! discharge of a pistol, Had tile city bell not been ringing, these reports would probably have seemed much louder. File say was re j inarkalily clear and serene, anu the visible ; fixed stars numerous tbe whole night. Wu are anxious to know at what distances from Uiclnnoiid this phenomenon has extended.—- It is liojied that persons who have remarked it in other places, will not neglect to mlorui the public of the particulars; as such infor mation may add, in a great degree, to thu knowledge of Meteorology. Cilice writing the above, wc h ive been in* formed, that several of the largest of these shooting meteors, were observed to descend almost lo the ground before they exploded. Indeed, many of those which we saw, appear -1 cd to approach within a few yards ol the i house tops, ami then suddenly to vanish.— Some -persons, we are told, were so alarmed, that they imagined the tire in the Armoury was occasioned by one of these meteors, and in place of repairing to extinguish the earth ' ly tiames, they busied thcuisclve- in contriv ing to protect t!ie roofs oi their houses troin j the tire of heaven. Tins circumstance of the shooting stars | descending within a abort distance of the ground, is however, a fact highly important 1 to he know n ; as it has iieen gt ncrally sup { posed, that meteors only proceed in a lion, zonfal direction, and lit ver fly pcrpcndicular ■ly upwards. Tnoso w hich we particularly remarked,appeared tu descend hi an angle of sixty degrees w ilh the horizon ; hut as the K.nalier ones were srf niinitroua, and crossed each otlu r in dillcrent directions, it was on ly po-sihlc to ascertain with any precision, the paths of the iargi si ami most brilliant.
