TOE GEORGIA AND FLORIDA BOUNDARY.
We have transferred to our first page the
special message of Governor Jenkins on the
Boundary Line between Georgia and Florida,
communicated to the two houses of the Legis
lature Tuesday last It is in entire keeping
with the character of that just and high-toned
public functionary, and wc hope the action
upon it will he such as will iully sustain the
reputation of Georgia for fair, honorable deal
ing with her sister States.
However unwelcome to our pride may he
the confession, it is an incontrpvertible truth
that the Legislature of 1862, in attempting to
re-open this controversy with Florida, after
a settlement made under our own proposition
and subsequently sanctioned in the most sol
emn forms known to the law, compromised
the character of the State. Individual inter
est!, and a disappointment in the result of the
mode of adjustment which the Stale herself
had chosen, were allowed to swerve the Le
gislature from that piompt and manly acqui
cscence that good faith required at their
hands. Every honest mind must concede
that theFlorida Commissioners acted perfect
ly right in refusing to depart from the terms
of a settlement that had been fully agreed up
on,and ratified by both the Legislature and the
Convention of Georgia. We arc sorry that
even an effort was made to .induce them to a
different course.
We hope that the present Legislature will
see the honor of the State, and respect its be
hests, by promptly authorizing the Governor
to issue the proclamation referred to in his
message. The question has reached a final
ity, and it is due to us, as well as to Florida,
that it be fully rccosnized by tho representa
tives of the people. We shall regret very
much to lose those valuable citizens residing
on the slip of land heretofore in dispute, and
who, up to this day, have borne allegiance to
Georgia and taken part in her government;
but it cannot honorably he avoided. If it be
important to retain them, with the territory
they occupy, let us go about the business in
the right way, and not seek to carry the point
wrongfully. Authorize the Governor to open
negotiations with the authorities of Florida
lor the tale of the land, and if she he willing,
offer her a fair consideration for the property.
This is the cnly honest recourse now left us.
Tho Legislatures of the two States are now in
session, and no doubt a satisfactory arrange
ment might he arrived at.
In conclusion, wc cannot commend too
warmly the higli-mindcd, just and honorable
course pursued by the State of Florida
throughout this controversy. She has never
once, Lccn swerved l>y interest, or any other
con-'dtration, irom *n honest desire to do
what is right, ana to treat our people, as a
State, in all n-pect?, as friends and brethren.

LETTER FROM MILLEDGEVILLE.
MlLLBDGKVlLLe, NOVEMBER 14,1866.
Dear Telegraph : Your excellent reporter
and correspondent gives you the details of Leg
islature here, and I only propose to give you
a few items personal occasionally. First, let
me state that the Macon Daily Telegraph is
the paper of the body. Its appearance is looked
for each day with great anxiety—Its editorials have
more weight than those of any paper circulating In
this Legislature. It takes a lull view of all ques-
tiona of the day—and speaks faithfully and fear
lessly. These are times requiring snch a journal,
and X am glad to know that the Telegraph fills the
bill and is justly appreciated.
I have confined my observations chiefly to the
Horns. Col. Hardeman, the present Speaker, is
certainly “ the right man in the right place."—
He ia clear headed, kind, courteous and prompt
Mr. Waddell, the Clerk, and Col. Eites and oth
ers, his assistants, are men capable and punctu
al, always having the business ready, and dis
patching it promptly. Among the worthies is
“ Uncle" Jeiss Oslin, who has been Messenger
for over seventeen years. He is always on his
feet—going at the request of members—never
tiring. May his shadow never glow less. Mr.
Aired, the door-keeper, is also a most faithful offi
cer. No roan conld be more faithful and untiring.
Time wonld fail me to enumerate all the men who
compose this body. It la a body oi faithful work
ing men—and without any disposition to laud
them beyond their deserts. I can say I never saw
a body of representatives in which there was more
working material.
In the Senate, we have a body of grave
legislators—quiet, industrious and perse
vering. Guarding the treasury carefully against
improper appropriations. Colonel William
Gibson, the President, is a courteous gentleman.
Col. Weems fills his position as Secretary with
great success. He has no superior in his depart
ment. His assistants, Col. Snead, T. D. Wright,
and others, are prompt and clever—keeping np
the business. The Messenger, Mr. Cameron, is
a good fellow, and is remarkable for his courtesy
to the Senators as well as to reporters and others
who may draw oa him from time to time. B
The United States Senate.—Tho Sen
ate ia composed at present of thirty-eight
Radicals and thirteen Democrats and Conser
vatives. The next is likely to have forty-
one Radicals and ten Democrats. Tho new
Senators, thus far, are the Hon. Cornelius
Cole, of California, the Hons. J. S. Fowler
and David T. Patterson of Tennessee, (who
have taken their scats), A. G. Cattell, of New
Jersey, (present Congress) and II. W. Corbett
of Oregon. Only ono of these, Senator Pat
terson, the President’s son-in-law. is a Demo
crat. The complexion will be further changed
by the election of a Democratic Senator in
Maryland, to fill the place of the Hon. J. A.
J. Cresswell, Radical, whose terra expires
next year; and in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey by the choice of Radicals in place oi
the Hons. Edgar Cowan and William Wright,
Democrats, the latter deceased. John Evans
and Jerome Chaffee nrc the Senators chosen
from the proposed new State of Colorado,
and Thomas W. Tipton and General John U.
Thayer, those chosen from that of Nebraska.
These four Territorial Senators are Radicals.
Should these Territories be admitted as States
in tho next Congress, the Radicni strength
will he forty-five members.

says:
“Napoleon issaid to be better prepared for
war than ever. He has armies and fleets.—
Besides all that lie has recently adopted a
breech-loader. This he bad in contempla
tion when he had the interview with General
Beauregard. Ho asked that gentleman’s
opinion of the Prussian needle-gun. Beau
regard told him that the needle-guns were a
humbug. Why, said lie, the Confederate
armies fought against a much more effective
weapon than that.
The Federal armies have the best guns
known. The needle-gun has a range of only
four hundred yards. The Prussian columns
could have been mowed down at a much
longer range. The General, as it is reported,
went on to show tkat the Austrians failed,

arms, but of the inferiority of their Generals,

under the anticipation that Lirtrpool would advance
above current rates by the time ef the arrival of the cot
ton shipped. Our own manufacturers have been the
clilefbuyers during the week, and all kinds of cotton
have been in demand. Medium grades, such as Lo-v
Middling, have been rather more sought after and have
advanced accordingly. We have yet to chronicle the
absence of nigh grade cottons from our market—really
good Bpinning cottons of the grade of Good Middling
and above are hardly to be found; what few lots offer
command remunerative prices and meet with a ready
sale. Cottons of poor staple, ginned damp, and cut In
the ginning, are offered in abundance, but find few pur
chasers, even at low rates. Good cottons, well bandied
and free from dirt, command figures beyond our quota
tions. Zipponth and Extra Staple Cottons continue to
meet a fair trade demand, and we would quote 40 to 66
cents, accord ng to length of staple, general cleanliness,
etc. The above price* are the ex remes we hear of.—
Sea Islands continue about the same as last reported,

CEXEBAL BEMiEES.
The weather for the past week has been all that could
be desired by planters, and picking has been pushed
forward most vigorously in those quarters where frost
has not appeared. Estimates of (he crop have rather
increased than diminished, and more two million esti
mates are made than one and a half million. We still
incline to the opinion that 1,750,000 bales will be about
the figure. By the close of the year it will be possible
to form a pretty correct estimate of the probable total
amount to be received; indeed, many persons think

by the telegraphic reports at hand those of next week
will be no larger. The new Treasury regulations, per
mitting rhipments in bond, have been or considerable
assistance to planters; but, even as it is, cotton is delay
ed to some ex ent by the requirements of the govern
ment officials.
The Egyptian crop is this year turning out finely, and
the quality of Egyptian cotton now being loaded in Liv
erpool is superior to any cotton ever yet laid down in
that port. These cottons are controlled in price by that
of American; but in turn our medium Sea Islands ate
controlled in price by Egyptian. There i* bat little
cliance, we think, of Egypt ever much increasing her
supply of cotton, as the laurt devoted to its production
is just so much detracted fri m the acreage planted in
wheat, of which Egypt is now raising none too much.
From Brasil we may look for an Increased crop, but
from rndia we think there will be a diminution; for,
granting that the amount sown i* the same, and the sea
son favorable, the financial panic of 'ast summer will
still hang so heavily on the commercial community that
shippers will be less inclined to venture than formerly.
A very considerable amount will again be shipped to
China, which of late years has gone to Liverpool. With
these prospects of the lour great cel ton-producingcoun-
tties, we do not look for panic prices, nor yet any mate
rial variation from tne present range.

The deceased had been sick for about three
months, hut had on two or three occasions cos-
valescedBo far as to be able to ride out; then
would relapse or decline iu health until she would
again be confined to her room. Her last attack
had kept her in her room and under treatment for
about ten days, from which she had so far recov
ered as to promise herself and friends the pleasure
of belDg out the next morning. In bidding the
family good night, she said, in a cheeriul mood
she would be tbe first In the parlor in the morn
ing. In a very few minutes, however, without a
struggle or a groan, her spirit ascended to the God
who gave it. Thus suddenly and unexpectedly,
terminated the beautiful life of onr young friend
and sister.
In 1860 she professed religion and joined the
Baptist Chnrch in this city. She was a member of
the choir and a teacher in tbe Sabbath School until
deprived of these privileges by circumstances be
yond her control. Her life presented the beautiful
simplicity of Christian purity aud unostentatious
faith. Her disposition was amiable aud quiet,
while her character was positive and energetic.—
Her soul sought and enjoyed rest in its conscious
acceptance through the atonement of the Saviour.

Questions of jurisdiction, civil nnd crimi
nal, will arise between the Courts of the bor
der counties of both States. The rights of
property, the privileges, duties and liabilities
ot citizenship, the punishment of crime, and
the peace of the border counties are all in
volved. To me it seems that these consider
ations far outweigh in importance the right
of eminent domain over this narrow strip of
land, and even the relation of citizenship be
tween the State of Georgia nnd the inhabi
tants of this belt. Doubtless there dwell upon
it good and tree men wkom wc should ull
grieve to lose, but of all men in the State
they are most interested in thtf settlement of
the controversy. But whether interests or
ties arc involved in it, I respectfully insist
that by the action of the two States Georgia
is committed to the Orr and AYhitner line,
and good faith requires that she make full
and final acknowledgement of it. I recom
mend that the General Assembly authorize
tho Executive to issue a proclamation de
claring that line the boundary, and requiring
her citizens and officers to govern themselves
accordingly.

We would call attention to the opinion of one of the
leading papers cf Canada on tbis subjoet.
Most of our readers have no doubt read some of the
numerous advertisements of Gift Enterprises, Gift
Ccnscrts. Ac., which appear from time to time in the
public prints, offering most tempting bargains to thoee
who will patronise them. In most cases these are
genuine humbug*. But thero are a few rcspcctiU*
firms who do business in this manner, and they do it
as a means of increasing their wholcsede business, and
not to make money. From such firms, it is true, hand
some and valuablo articles are procured for a very
small sunt, and what is more important, no one is ever
cheated. Every person gets good value for his dollar;
because, as we have stated, it is intended to act te u
advertisement to increase their ordinary business.
\\ e have seen numbers of prizes sent out in this
way by Shebmax, Watson & Company-, of Xsssiu
Street, N. Y„ and there is no doubt that some of the
articles are worth eight or ten times the money paid
for them, while wo have not seen or heard of a single
article which was not fully worth the dollar Which it
cost. But this is only one of the exceptions of thn
rule, for as a general thing the parties engaged inthii
business aro nothing but clever swindlers. ,
