The Committee on PnbUe Bocorde bee leave to Ueportto this Body, that they have examined the books of the Superior Court, and find them kept in the very beet order, and we think that great credit i* due to our Clerk, A. B. Rosa. lhe Committee for Educational purpose* bear leave to Be port, that we deem it inexpedient to de- tiseany plan under the law of 1959, for teaching t!» l„tor children of Bibb County, but recommend t> ■ he Ordinary of said county to pay out the funds re ceived for poor school purposes under the law of l *57: but we do especially recommend to sdd Ordi nary to pay the bdfof no teacher, until such teacher •hall have produced a certificate from the Board of Uaamiowsof biaorh.r -^mpataocy. sod in all casts where Slid Ordinary may have any suspi-kun ■bout the jtunneu and reasonableness of any amount 'fought to him for payment, he may require of said teacher to produo* a certificate from the parents of •ach child or children so taught, stating the timeswd children went to school. We respectfully differ with the first Panel of the Grand Jury as to the law of 1857, which regulats* the paying of teachers of the poor children. We took on it as a wise and beneficial law, and hope it will not be repealed. We are gratified a* the ham >y effects of that law in our county in the year 1851. - We recommend the levying of the specifio tax lor the purpose of paying up the balance due teachtrs .•f last year, that amount being One Thousand n id Eighty-Three Dollars, and, aawo learn, that car,t ot be paid under the existing law, unless a specific tax s levied for that purpose—the poor school system having been done away. We also recommend tklr- ty per cent, to be levied on the State tax for Ibe purpose of ralaing a fund for educational purposes, for the present year. We call the attention of the inferior Court tsperiallyto this matter. We recommend to the Ordinary that be pay Tor the teaching of no child io any class that goes >e- yond ao Elementary English Education, and in no instance to pay more than Five Dollars per Qui tter for such children. The Committee on roads aod bridges Report, t hat they concur in the report of the former Grand J sry, and in addition to said report, we would eiroecu Jly . all the attention ot the Inferior Court to too mad through tho Echeconnes Swamp, on the Hawk ns villa road. This road, the paat winter, has been in •ueh bad condition, that passing it with a lo:i led wagon was impossible, without great risk. Were commend that a specific tax be levied to pot .taid road in good passing order, and in such manner dint it will not be subject to be rendered impassubi'i by frenhet. W* would direct the attention of tin In ferior Court also, to the road leading from Macon to Knoxville. Also, to the road leading from said oad by Freeman's Mills to Hartley’s Bridge. The law of the State of Georgia, passed in '.858, Authorize* the Grand Jury of this county to re.;, r ilate the license on Retailers of Spirituous Liquors in this county, out of the City limits; wo therefore rave made the license at One Hundred Dollars (91») for •sch license given.

From Baltimore—Correspondence! OF THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. BAt.nxo>E, May 28th, 1859. Another Murder.—Small Loss.—Georgia— Macon, $c. Our city is not yet entirely free from an occa sional murder and outrage.—Another assassina tion occurred here on last Friday night, about 8 o’clock, in what i% called Limerick-. A man of considerable notoriety in the police annals— who has been supposed to be the author of some communications in the Police Gazette, publish ed at Philadelphia—in which some very hard things were said about some of liis associates in crime, »s well as the members of tlie police here, was waylaid and brutally murdered. A jury of inquest was held, but no clue has been found to the murderers. It is strongly sus pected that he fell by the hands of some one or more of those whose names he had been making free with, and iu this case it will remain a secret This man was a notorious rowdy and vagabond, and his death by the hands of the assassin has only anticipated tlie executioner, as had he lived, in all probability lie would have ended his days upon the gallows. At tlie time of his death there were several indictments pending against him for assault with intent to kill, and burglary. We could well spare many more like him, and we need not be overly nice in wliat way they make their exit—so that it be done quickly. There lias been several serious affrays recently between the rival rowdy gangs—but as it was dog eat dog, but little heed was given to it by decent people. Several of the parties were badly- wounded—and if these feuds should end like the war of the Kilkenny's, it will bo a consum mation most devoutly to be wished. Our criminal Court is now in session, and the murder cases are being turned off with great dispatch. Several men indicted for murder have had Box verdicts of acquittal rendered in their fovor, and are now foot loose and laughing Justice to scorn. They will soon be at work again. 1 fear we are relapsing into our former leniency, and if we do so, we shall have the old scenes at the next fall election re-enacted.

A True Extract from the Minnies of Bibs Supe rior Court, May S7th, 1859. A. B. ROSS, Clerk. Another Jtrmirnetire Weapon—Large Or- DERSFROM ENGLAND FOR AMERICAN FIREARMS. The large quantity of fire-arms and gun-ma king machinery already furnished to England from American work-shops, proves to havc been but the precursor of more extended orders. Hitherto our mechanics have restricted their efforts more particularly to the manufacture of small arms, in which their skill has been amply acknowledged; bnt now we hear casually of a couple of monster ntled guns, whicn nav ? omi in coarse of preparation by the well known manufacturers of Chicopee, Massachusetts—the Ames Manufacturing Company—arid that the results of a preliminary trial are of an extraor dinary character. One oftbese guns is inten- iled for the l 7 . S. Government; the other will be taken out in the Russian frigate General Ad miral, for presentation to the Czar of all the Russiaas. A few days since captain Chesta- koffi the future commander of the new steamer, beard of the performances of the new gun, and, with characteristic zeal, at once determined to obtain a duplicate in behalf of his sovereign. in several respects the gun here referred to conforms to the description recently given in English papers of the celebrated ••Arm.iitrong’' gun. It has a rifled bore, of a diameter capa ble of receiving a four pound ball; but the mis sile here employed is so elongated that the weight of metal is increased to thirteen jiounds. The rear section or base is composed of lead, presenting a concave surface to the cartridge, with the view of its being forced into the proves by the expansion of the powder behind it, thus preventing loss of explosive powder by windage. A prominent object in the expmments made was to ascertain the effect of increasing the number of grooves. The remarkable accuracy finally obtained is shown by the feet, that three balls were thrown through the same perforation, with only a trifling variation, at the distance of half a mile. The target was placed on the slope . of a hill while these experiments were in pro gress, with the supposition that the resistance offered by the tajget would prevent the ball going much beyond; but a messenger brought word that damage was being done two miles further off Balls were then fired so tliat they struck into the earth a comparatively whort dis tance from the target, and on being dug out were found shattered by the concussion. We learn from Mr. FI V. Haugbwout (agent for the Ames Manufacturing Company) that or ders were brought out by the last steamer from England for the immediate construction of large quantities of machinery for the manufacture of tlie most approved American firearms, and that the same havo been put in hand for execution, both at Chicopee and other large works offer ing the needed facilities. The agents of the British government bearing these orders also bring a large instalment of sterling gold, and are unrestricted as to the amount of work to be done. The American machinery already in England is worked up to its fullest capacity, turning out several thousand guns per month, under the direction of workmen from tho shops at Chicopee. We understand that a public trial of the new rifled cannon will soon be made at Governor’s Island, under military supervision—probably during the present week. The U. S. Government armories, both at Springfield and Harpers Ferry, are manufac turing the rifled musket for the U. S. army.— This weapon, in destructiveness, will compare well with the Minie rifle, or anything else now in use. About 13,000 of these muskets will be in his straight-forward and impressive style, and tlie agricultural columns are graced by a letter from Gen. Washington, never before published.
