THE GEORGIA TtlEGRAJ JS/CA^OISr, Q-A-, Tuesday Morning, Deccmbor»6. The Choice Bill Veto JlcssnKe. It is, we believe, an ill-advised provision in our State Constitution which invests the Legis lature with pardoning power in certain cases. It is a dangerous, as \ycll as a benign power; and it ought not to be exercised under that sense of divided, and therefore diminished, re sponsibility which is commonly attached to the position of a legislator. It is hard for the Ex ecutive, pressed under a weight of undivided responsibility to God and his country, to fortify himself against the-tcars, prayers and distract ing entreaties of the hapless mother, wife, or Drmcrritiic Coun.y .Vomiuntlon..

Mississippi, on tiie 28tli ult Thc book is elegantly printed, and thc illustra among the minorities, and that it will end, as in thc Banks struggle, with the election of a ■Black Republican. It is stated that in the event of delay in thc House, the Message will find publicity through the Senate. The 3Gth Congress of the United States convenes'in a time of unrivalled material prosperity, but as if to substantiate all the predictions of tlic ene mies of republicanism and popular government, also at a time when hardly a ray of light, or promise, pierces thc murky darkness of the po litical horrizon. The North seems literally to have gone mad. The anti-slavery fanaticism played upon by such black' republican leaders as Seward, Wilson and Hale—menjwith no real sympathy in' it,—has now got the bits between its teeth and is altogether beyond control.— Witness tho meeting in South Natick, which passed the worst possiblo incendiary resolution, Wilson being present and not daring to say a word. Wilson takes his scat in'tho Senate, as a participant in a primary meeting which re solved that incendiaryism was thc “right and duty of the North!” Can Southern Senators sit hob-a-nob with a self agpred traitor to thc Constitution and the country ?—a man who re solves that rapine and murder in the South are the duties of his constituents ? But this is only one illustration. A real John Brown malignity has taken possession of thc black republican party and leads it, in spite oi the more moder ate and sensible of that detestable faction. Thc time when iho Northern. States shall decide whether they will restrain incendiarism, or whether the South mast do it witb-.whatever means End appliances a good Providence has put into our hands for purposes of self-drtenee, is coming down to a mere point Let the North make the decision! Legislative Business. According to thc Millcdgcvillc correspondence of thc Savannah Republican, thc Senate had be fore it, on Thursday last, 291 bills to bc acted upon, and the House 255—a total of 54C, and and,the elite of tho military, “plumed, hebnet- •d arid spurred,""could bc seen in the Capitol or on the street hut oftencr than elsewhere bask ing in the sunshine of beauty’s eye. Whether the deliberations of the hotly will result ina- chieving any good, the future alone can develop. In View of the present find-disturbed condition of allairs, no one doubts that‘the Legislature should do something to prepare for the break ers ahead—an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars would purchase a sufficient number of the latest and best style of fire-arms to equip all the Volunteer Companies in the State,—but to erect an armory and prepare for making arms—two millions of dollars wonid hardly rover the cost, and even with that ex- fro.vi mnpsoTA.

Tho Minnesota is admitted to-be one of the most crooked Rivers in thc world; the boatmen allege that the fish in this river have double the usual number of joints in the back bone, to en able them to navigate around the short bends; also, that the ends of their noses arc very much flattened by running them against tho banks in endeavoring to make headway. Not having ex amined a specimen of this peculiar finny tribe, I cannot vouch for thc truth of the above state ment • , This river is navigable, some portions of the year, to Mankota, a distance of 150 miles, al- penditure it is not absolutelv certain that wc ‘J*?" 6 !'

Wc want to sec the yeas and nays on this paramount question. AVc want to see who dares to defeat the well known and repeatedly expressed wishes of tlic people, and we want to publish the list, so that the constituency of‘ these men may determine whether they shall suffer the will of common men at such an im mense cost of time and money to the State.

The steamers, at almost every short bend, run their bows against tho hank, as the boats cannot be “ brought a- bout ’’ quick enough by the engine and rudder to clear them; tho hands then use their pike- poles, and after heaving her ofi" and getting'her headed around, she proceeds to the next bench away with the SbilUlo-hags Judiciary System which now prevails, and tlic Bar aro very gen erally in favor of the change. The Court should hold its sessions in Millcdgcvillc and no where else—here are thc records—and a magnificent law library, containing all the American, and most of tlic English Reports, and also a large it uncertain as to the time I might require in reaching Mankota by boat, I concluded to take the steamer Time tc Tide, as her name gave the impression of promptness, which wag advertis ed to leave punctually at 11 o’clock, A.

There are 1,800 Indians in this settlement; they arc paid by thc ■ government an annuity of $80,000; they have schools, but few only will send their children. Missionaries labor among them with very little success. The mcn arc indolent, doing but very little except fishing and bunting. They are excessively fond ol gam bling, almost as much so as of'whiskey. Thc women do all tho drudgery—till the soil, build the lodges, gather the fuel, put in the winter stock of corn, and furnish everything but the game. Most of them continue to paint and dec orate, themselves as when in the most barbarous state. I visited tlie lodge of one of their chiefs, and as a description of their lodges is found in almost every school-book, it is unnecessary for mo to say more than that they arc the same now. I noticed the Medicine-gourd, or Sacred Rat tle, hanging on a pole, which is nothing more than a dried gourd with a few kernels or com or belds, which is shaken over the head of the sick by the Medicine-man, while he is singing in unearthly monotones. The alacrity with which thc Indian doctor used to go to see a patient, might bc very acceptable if adopted by some of our more enlightened physicians of the. present day. • “The person gent to call on thc doctor, strips himself forrunning, retaining only his breech-cloth, and carrying a bell; he en ters thc lodge, and without further ceremony strikes tlie doctor with his foot, jingles his bell, and suddenly issuing from the lodge, runs with all his might for the sick man’s lodge, with the doctor at his heels; if tho latter overtakes and kicks him before he reaches the lodge, he does not proceed any further, but returns home. Another person is then dispatched, and it is not until one is sent who is too swift for him, that the doctor’s services can be secured.” Thc lodge which I have mentioned as a speci men, was extremely dirty, containing no furni ture, without I call a bedstead such which was made of poles; the only protection from the damp ground being some dirty mats, on which they sit around the fire in the centre of their lodge—the smoke {escaping through a hole in the root Around the sides stand barrels and sacks of com; cars of com are hanging over head, which are reserved for parching; various kinds of roots and herbs also arc hung on poles; their hunting and fishing "implements always have a conspicuous placo on one side of the lodge. As to cleanliness, the word is not in their language; all is filth and litter; there are no fences around their bark huts; worn-out moccasins, tattered blankets, old leggins, are strewn in confusion all over the ground. "Wa ter, except in very warm weather, seldom touches them, and the pores of the skin become filled with tho grease and paint with which they daub themselves. Thc romance of Indian life, and the reality, are quite different. It is said- that about tlic time Longfellow’s Hiawatha first appeared, a gentleman and his two daughters were taking a pleasure trip up the Mississippi, one of thc young ladies having that work with her which she had been reading, and as they were soon to be near the Indian settlements, she expressed a wish-to spend two. or three weeks with the In dians, to live with them and partake of their fare—“it would be so delightful 1" It was but a few hours before a hand came on board of the steamer, with their dogs, ponies, women, and children. Their evening meal, consisting of beans and wild meat, was prepared on thelower deck, beneath the windows of thc ladies’ cabin. After they had used their fingers in place of forks, and consumed the food which thejihad cooked in a dirty iron pan, one of the mothers removing the blanket from one of her children, stood it up in the same pan, and then dipping some water out of the river, began to wash it cayed state of the timbers the spikes had ceas ed to take effect, and allowed the track to spread, by which tho cars were thrown off and turned over. The conductor of the train, a Mr. Craw ford, was at the time of thc accident, standing upon the Platform, and in attempting to jump off was caught beneath the cars and crushed al most in twain—his death was instantaneous.— Several others were more or less injured, but none seriously. Tho deceased was a single man and greatly respected. - This Road, espe cially that portion of it within a few miles of the City, has becn for some time in a very di" lapidated condition, ami accidents have almost daily occurred upon it for several months past Many suits havifbeen brought against the Com pany for damages by loss of life and limb as well as property, and unless some vigorous stops are taken to put it in good repair, it will be abandoned as unsafe and unfit for use. Affecting attempt at Suicide.—On Sunday last an interesting young girl, aged about 17, was rescued from drowning by Some gentlemen, who happened to witness the attempt at suicide by throwing herself into thc Back Basin, an arm of the Patapsaco River.

Robert Findlay, so widely known as thc head of that extensive establishment, “Findlay's Don Works;" died last AVod'nesday, of a rnfiig- nant attack -of pneumonia. His loss will be deeply felt in almost every department of busi ness, by'ithe whole city—in thc BaptistUhurch, of which hc was a leading mcuibtr—and in every enterprise of public benevolence. He was buried last Friday at Rose Hill, and thc largest Funeral cortege wo have ever seen in Macon, preceded and followed his remains to their last resting place.

The prairie being slightly rolling, the road,, passing over tho most elevated part, gave a view of its whole extent, which was the most charming of any prairie scenery I have ever seen. On approaching thc opposite side, in the premises, thc above Justice made a fo ray on some twenty little boys the other day, j Ata* who were playing on a lot at dinner vacation, G , clm steppcd int ‘ the room ^ and.captured the whole gang, and amidst their were, and Ch ' screams and piteous wailing and imploring*, imprisoned them in the Black Hole until their poor parents could scare up the sum of $2 and cost, for their release. How much of said fine went into the City Treasury this deponent say- eth not Some might suggest that his Honor, the 3rd, might have an eye to the hundreds of rum holes, which are kept open every Sunday in direct conflict with the law; or the hundreds of crowds of drunken rowdies who Virowd thc corners of all the public streets on that day, rendering it unsafe for civil people to pass; or the court house, where a decent man has almost to hold his nose when entering the Rotunda, lest he be made drunk upon the fumes of poi soned whisky with which his olfactories are as sailed—but any one who should intimate any thing like the above to our worthy municipal head, would bc more likely" to get his own bro ken than a civil response' to his suggestion.

In politics he was one of the old line AYhigs, but was taken up by the native Amer ican party and elected a Judge of the Superior Court at the first election under the new Con stitution, and has given great satisfaction to lawyers as well as clients since he has sat upon thc bench. His death was announced in all the Courts of thc City so soon as they- were opened, and appropriate eulogies were deliver ed upon his character, and the Courts immedi ately thereafter adjourned, in further demon stration of respect to his memory. His disease was sudden paralysis. On Tuesday last ho sat upon the bench as usual, but on the afternoon of that day hc was suddenly .stricken down, and remained prostrate and unconscious until life was extinct Thanksgiving Day and its Incidents.—The day was clear and pleasant, and thc streets pro- sSltcd quite an animated appearance.
