in thu examination of the oth r passes, which will soon be completed, and a report on tho whole subject will be laid before th.) General As sembly at an early jtcriod ot the session. Bv intact, pisted on the 22 I day of December, 1835, the sum often thousand <lo!l trs w.ts appropriated tor the imjtiovement ot thu naviga tion ot' Elint River, ami ill ' sum ot' twenty thousand doll n s lor the im provement •» tb*> (’hnttahom hie. No part ot’either of these sums has been drawn from the Tie isnrv, because the provisi ins of the act have not been co nphe I with, an I no application h is been in ide for the mo ney, e\ ■'pt on th' pirt of th- <’immissioners ot’ Flint River, who ailopte I apl in ot' > i ‘rations which seem -1 t > in.: to be contrary to the directions of the law, and p irtic-.il ally to the 4th section. WaiLt on thu subject of Internal Improvements, it is proper that I should call the attention ot the Genera! Yssembly to the “ Savannah Ogeecliee and Alt i:n all a<' i.i il.” Toe State has invested niiirti/-eight thousai I l l in this enterpri and thus tai no divi- dend of interest or profit has been returned; nor, from present ap pearances, is it likely th it any benefit will bo derived from it. It has been advertise 1 by the Shoritfol Chatham county to be sold imdor exe cution, at the suit of an individual, for the sum of two thousand dol-i hrs, and application was in ide to me, by the Director on the part I of the State, for advice wh.it course to pursue. Having no audio- ( rity to draw money from the Treasury for such purpose, 1 so informed the Director, and reminded him that the Cru il was pie.food to the State for the return 'it the sum of lift v th • istitid dollars, the amount ori ginally lo in -1 t > .M -. Jeacks ; and th it the jiurchaser, at Sh“i ill' s sale, would t rke the proper!v with that incumbrance. I have since learned 1 by u letter from Mr. Yrn.fl I, tint Director, tint the sale of the can d has j been |>ostponed to th ’ first Ticsdiy in D.-cemh-r next, when it will, certainly tak.* place, unless the pi lenient be paid. Tile spirit of I-r.ern il improvem mt, so onward and vigorous in our I sister States, is extendin' itself in our own. and stimulating prix ate on- > terprize to efforts, which, though local and personal in their purposes, ; embrace so in i:iy interests, and contribute so greatly to the general! convenience, that they seem to be justly entitled to a portion ot the ' public patronage. Intimately connected with this subject, is that of the Geological | structure of the State, and of its mineral resources. \ projier know- . ledge of these is necessary to a prudent and profitable location ot ca nalsand rail roads, and should have its influence in directing their i course. Thus tar, Georgia has scarcely looked beneath her surface, I < and her grout staple commodity lias been the only article ot transpor-i i tation within the contemplation of those who have projected schemes ot < Internal Improvement, whilst the advantage to be derived from Geo-j i logical investigation lias been entirely overlooked. In stick a survey ( the whole State is interested, not merely in the increased variety of its j products, but in the promotion of the mo t efficient culture, bv disclos ing the character and capacity of the soil. Her territory, and partial-, larly th at |< art comprehended within the Cherokee ( ircuit, is believed] to abound in mines of Gol 1, Marble, Iron, Limestone, Salt and other j ' valuable minerals. Th -;e concealed treasuies which should hr: made j tributary to bet knowle Im an I weal'll are worthy of your enlightened j consideration, and the piovision necessary to a full and scientific i-va-i j ruination of them ought not to be longer delayed. 1 suggest, therefore, I the propriety of employing a competent Geologist to make a thorough ; survey of the State, with a view to the ascertainment ot its mineral and j agricultural resources, and the proper location ot works oi Internal J Improvement. Since the above was written, I have received from Mr. John R. J Cotting, a letter dated at Vugtsta, on the 25th ultimo, accompanied by j a report of a Geologic tl an 1 Agricultural examination made by him,] duringtho past summer, of the co nties of Burke and Richmond. This, [ survey was executed at the expense of individuals of those counties, and , is highly creditable to their public spirit; and, as far as I can judge, equally so to the skill and capacity of Mr. Cotting as a scientific and ' practical Geologist. 1 avail myself, with pleasure, of the opportunity ; thus afforded me of sending to the House of Representatives this letter d and report, with the hope that they may add force to the recommeu- j dation 1 have sidinutted. a The reports of the Inspectors and Principal Keeper of the Peniten- (, tiary are herewith submitted. They will show that during the past j year a profit has been made on the labor of the convicts, and that after ! e deducting from the good debts due to the Institution, those which it ( owes, there will be a balance in its favor of ten thousand live hundred j •nd thirty-five dollars. This may be considered a prosperous condi- | tion, and yet, owing to the practice which has heretofore prevailed of giving a general credit on articles sold, the officers are embarrassed and | need the aid of the L egislature until collections can be made. This I practice will shortly cease, as the Inspectors have, I think wisely, de- | termined to require cash for all work done, and articles manufactured ] h after the first day of January next, and to force, if necessary, the pay- t nient of all available debts. Other causes have operated to the injury (1 of the institution, but a ra lical reform lias been commenced and, I have |. no doubt, will be continued much to its advantage. I respectfully ad i my recommendation to that of the Inspectors, to appropriate, or lend to the Penitentiary, the sum of five thousand dol lars to enable them to provide materials nod subsistence until, by col- i * lections, they can procure the necessary funds, , * I would respectfully invite th" attention of the Legislature to the] amendment rtf the first section of the third article of the Constitution, S which provides for the establishment of a Supreme Court for the Coi- i rcction of Errors committed in tin- Superior Courts. The judicial sys- I lem of Georgia (if that can bn railed a system which has no head) has } always been an anomaly in jurisprudence. There are now ten Judicial ] ( Districts, having a Judge to preside in each, who is independent oi the ! | others and subject to no control, lbs opinions are the law of the dis- [ trict during the time lyi shall continue in office, but no longer—they do not bind his successor. These Judges often decide the same question 11 differently, s > that what is law in one District is not law in another, and,, I as a matter of course, we have no such thing, in fact, as I aws of Georgia, although the Legislature h ive <“iact"rl, and do annually enact, what 1 purport to be such. It is a matter, therefore, of the first importance, I not only to the interests of the people, but to the character and honor ' of the State, that you should, at the present session, organize the Su- ! $ pretin- Court, and thereby establish a betid to direct the operations of the Ju li' iary and tendet the law uniform throughout the State. Apart, however, from any reasoning on thu subject, th" Constitution, which we I have all sworn to support, is imperative, and declares that “ the Jttdi- , rial powers of this State shall be vested in a Sujtreme Court for the ' < Correction of Errors, &,c. 'l'ltis Court can be organized only by the Legislature, and so long as tliev fail to do it, so long will the peo- ■ ( pie be deprived of their Constitutional right. t By an act of Congress, approved by the President of the United ' j States on the 23d day of June last, entitled “ An act to regulate the Deposites of th" Public Money ;” a portion of the revenue of the Fed eral Government has been directed to be deposited with the States. The 13th section of this act provides, that when the money in the Trea sury of the United Stales shall exceed the sum-of /'ire Millions of dollars, the surplus shall bo deposited with such of the States, in proper- I tion to tiieir representation in the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, as shall, by law, authorise their Treasurers, or the t comjretent authorities to receive the same on the terms in that section specified. These terms are, that the faith of the State shall be pledged , for the safe keeping and re-payment of the money and every part thereof, front time to time, whenever the same shall be required by thu Secretary of the Treasury of the United States for the purpose of de fraying any wants ot the public Treasury beyond the amount of five 1 millions. And, as an inducement to each State to receive its propor <ion of the public treasure on dejmsite, it is declared in the same sec- 1 <ion, that if any Stale declines to do so on the terms mentioned in the < •ct, the same shall be deposited with the other States agreeing to ac- , cept the same on deposito in the projeirtion pointed out by the act. It is then declared, that when these deposites, or any part of them shall bo wanted by the Si-cretary to meet the appropriations made by law, the same shall be railed for in ratable proportions within one year, as i nearly as conveniently may be, from the different States with which i the same is deposited, and shall not be called for in sums exceeding ten i thousand doll ns from any one State, in any one month, without pre vious notice oflhirty days for every additional sum of twenty-thousand dollars whi< It may, at any time, be requited. By the 14th section of the act, this surplus money is ordered to be jtai l to the Stales in the following proportions, ami at the following times, viz,: One quarter Erart on the first day of January 1837, or as soon thereafter as may >e: One quarter part on the first day of April: One quarter part on the first day of July, and one quarter parton the first day of October, all in the same year. A copy of the law, and of the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury on the subject, will be found among the documents accompanying this Message. This act of Congress presents a subject of no ordinary interest, and j involves principles which demand the deliberate investigation ol the General \*»emblv. Aid" ugli the law is nominally constitutional he-| cause it purports to be “ An act to n-' tlato the deposites ol the public monev,” and so f.tr astli it jturpose was entertained, may be considered •s really so, vet, declarations at the time of its enactment,and since, by some of its ablest advoc ites, that these dejto >ites were intended as do nations never to bi* reclaimed; and the simultaneous avowal by the great beneficiaries of tho Tariff, that this policy was to become a sys tem to conciliate the complaining Stales, arc calculated lo excite a jealous watchfulness of innovation, ami ol every effort to allure, orforce us from the primitive purity ofotir Governmetif. “ W<> must fear these Crocks, even though they come with presents in their hands." Tire framers of the Constitution never could have contemplated the accumulation of redundant revenue, to foster paiticiilar interests in its collection, and subsidize others in its distribution. Against .such a sys tem of injustice and corruption, I trust that GuoiL'ia will enter Iter so lemn protest, and call for such a reduction of the Tariff, as « ill prevent further iinner<>ssarv accumulation arid division ol the people’s money. Georgia will, I hope, never consent lo give up her independence and be sitpjrotted by the surplus revenue of the United Stales, blit has amjtle resources of her own. and if she had not, she could obtain money from her jteople, who are too proud to pt rm it her to In; the be neficiary of the Federal < iovirniTic nt, which |tas no means of supplying < j her wants, other than those obtained from the people by the exercise of a power delegated tor tit.other purpose, but improperly applied lo raise money to corrupt them. 11 I'wo questions tor the consideration of the General Assembly arise " on this law. First, Will the State reieive het proportion of the surplus • upon the terms proposed ? And secondly, If she so receive it, how s shall it be disposed of ! 11 | As regards the first, I presume there can be little, or no difference ■ ol opinion, because, it' rejected, it would go lo the other States and 1 strength.ot opposition to any objection she might urge against a mea sure already sustained by an overw helming majority. And as there is no reasonable ground to hope that all, or even a majority oi the i I States, w ill tefuse to receive the money, Georgia, by doing so, could ' not, unaided by lu r sister States, arrest the operation of the law, or I give a sufficient rebuke to Congress for thus sporting with the best in- - ter<‘sts ot the rejmblic. Undet these circumstances, the State will act - i with commendable policy and violate no principle, if she receive her | - ] proportion of the surplus tevenue upon the terms and conditions pre- ! ■ I scribed in the act. The second question is one upon w hich, it is probable, there may I i ' be some diversity of opinion—not in regard to the nature ofthe State’s ■! interest in the fund and her obligation to return it, but, as to the mode j I of investing it. • 'l'he money to be deposited is, and w ill continue to be the propertv j of the United States. It may be, that this fund is not intended to be . reclaimed, and unless war should cut oil" the revenue from commerce, j it probably never w ill be, but, wlmtcver may have bee t the real design !of those who enacted the la v, we will be bound by its -at; and should i be prepared, at all times, to redeem the (fledge it exacts. ! Tito amount to be received by Georgia will probably be Ona .Million ol'Dollars. This sum, at a moderate interest, will yield an j income which, added to the other revenue ofthe State, will be sufficient Ito support the Government. 1 would, therefore, res(>ectfullv recom ! mend that the fund be so disposed of as to make it, by loait on good security, available, when required, to redeem our pledge, and profit i able whilst it remains on dejmsite. These, fellow-citizens, are the principal subjects to which 1 have deemed it my duty, at this time, to call your attention, and 1 earnestly 1 invite your deliberate consideration of all the topics ofgcneral interest, i to which I have adverted. Other matters of less importance, as also' such as may arise during the session, will be submitted to vou in special communications—and no exertions on my part shall be wanting to ren- I' der you such aid, in the course of your labors, as my official situation ' may render proper, or enable mo to afford. ■ 1 WILMAM SCHLEY.

Did not all your party object to General Jackson, because as they said, he would never have been thought of tor President ' had he not been a successful general? Is Gen.

J j; OBEYING ORDERS—AN AUTHENTIC ANECDOTE Many years ago, there lived in western Pennsylvania, Gene- li ml— , a revolutionary worthy, who had done the Stale some service. He united with the courage ami chivalry of the sol- t dier, an impetuous and positive temper, which brooked no con- u tradiction of'bis word or disobedience of his orders. Plough- I; mg one dayon his farm, one ofthe horses became restive and c intraclabl. ; whereupon the Cmciimatiis.struck him so violently r upon the head, the animal fell lifeless at bis feet. On seeing a t favorite steed lately full of life and spirit stretched on lhegroumt, t his rage was changed to regret and self reproach; but knowing c nothing belter to be done lie disengaged the harness and went to a hisiiouse.

THE MESSAGE. j M e lay before our readers to day. the able and j interesting Message of Governor Schley, to the General Assembly. ’i'he political year which lias just closed, has been one, of no common interest. It lias been marked by events demanding the highest efforts of talent Snd patriotism. Within the fust eight months of Governor Schley’s administration,our country has been in-1 voiced in two wars, in both of which, Georgia was destined to act a prominent part. 1 he Seminole Indians, in violation of • solemn I reaty with the United States, the provisions of which had been fulfilled with the most scrupulous punctuality, commenced hostilities upon the de ; fenceless mid unoffending inhabitants of Florida, early in the past winter, and committed enortni j ties and atrocities at which, hiimamty shudders. So soon as these outrages were known to the j Governor of Florida, he addressed a letter to the Governor of Georgia, apprising him of the expo sed situation of that Territory, and informing him that the officer in command ofthe United Status army in that quarter, w as expected soon, to make a requisition uj'ou Georgia, for Troops. The of ficer then commanding was General Clinch, who with a small body of United States soldiers and j Florida volunteers, had nobly ami gallantly sus tained himself against the whole force of the ene my, ami who was at that time in the heart of the) country, and almost entirely cut off from all com munication with his own Govcrument. In a cri j sis like this, delay was inevitable ruin. Governor Sehley foresaw, th it to wait the arrival of orders, j would only tend to increase the calamities of a suf fering jteople, ami he did not hesitate a moment, 1 but immediately ordered troops to the field, mid in j a lexv weeks a large force was on the march to ] relieve their bleeding countrymen. '1 he prompt ami decisive mamicr in xvhieh the Governor took upon himself, the responsibility of this measure, and the energy anti patriotism, with which his fellow-citizens responded to the call and flocked to the standard of their country, re flect the high :st credit upon tho chief magistrate | of Georgia, and the gallantry and good conduct I 1 of her citizens. Os the privations and sufferings of tho volun teers in that campaign, w e need not now speak. I hey at e familiar to all. But scarcely had they 1 returned to the bosoms <d'their families and friends, I' before the war whooji was sounded upon our own I I borders. The Creek Indians having received I the compensation stipulated for their occupant j .claims in Alabyma, end the time having arrived , at which, by their own agreement, they were to ( remove beyond the Mississippi, utteriy refused to ' emigrate, and commenced active preparations for j a general war; and so well were their hostile in- j tentions disguised, that before precautionary tnea- ' ! sures could ho taken, they commenced the work • of death and desolation. Scores of unofl’endiug ' and defenceless ]>eople were inhumanly butchered and property Ls an incalculable amount, w anton ly destroyed. Georgia was invaded, her people ' murdered and their jiroperly destroyed. Governor Schley immediately issued orders for I an adequate force, upou his own responsibility, I and in a few weeks, Georgia presented a Divis ion of upwards of four thousand heroic spirits, I 1 eager for the conflict. But the Governor did not; content himself with merely ordering troops to the • 1 field. As soon as his orders were issued, and the ! 1 forces were getting in motion, ho repaited to Co- j ' lambus for the purpose of facilitating the organ!- I ' zation of the army, where he remained unt.l the close of the campaign, actively engaged in render ing every service in his power to his fellow-citi- 1 zens ; am! the zeal and perseverance w hich he manifested, in protecting their interests in the set tlement of their accounts with the General Gov- ' ermneut, reflect great honor upon him, as a man and a public ollicer. That partof iiis message which relates to these ' events, will be read with much interest. It is written with great force and persjticuity, ami dis- ' plays a perfect familiarity with the subject. The narritivc is a clear, concise history ofthe incidents ' of these wars, and bestows upon the gallant sous of Georgia, tho just and well merited tribute of 1 praise. Upon reviewing the history of the last twelve months, mid the arduous and responsible duties which have devolved upon the Governor of Geor gia in contemplating the weight of that respoitsi- 1 biiity, and the consequences to flow from its abase, 1 or its proper and legitimate use—and tho judicious, patriotic and able manner in which it has been 1 exercised, it nllords a certain guaranty, that in his ' hands, the destinies of the Btato are safe. llis views upon the subject of the treaty with ' the Cherokees, w ill, we have no doubt, meet the ' approbation of tho (tcoplo generally, and particu larly, that portion who arc tho most deeply inter ested in tho question. Our fellow-citizens tvho reside in that section of tho State, are content, that the provisions of the Treaty shall ba execu ted in good faith, and that, our law s shall not op erate as a violation of any pledge w hieh it contains, ami will cheerfully consent to such a modification of existing laws, as wdl enable the General Gov ernment to carry the treaty into full execution, and remove the Indians at lite appointed time. V\ Idle upon this subject we must be permitted toexpressourhigh gratification at the prospect now rendered certain, of nspeody termination of out last Indian difficulty, and to congralulute our Imni blo self, as one ofthe instruments in producing “a consummation so devoutly to be wished. From dcvclojiemcnts which are now manifest to every one, it is clear that tho Cherokees never 1 intended to abandon the country they occupy, and if Georgia had not taken the matter in hand, and organized and settled it by virtue of het own sovereignty, that it would have remained in pos session of the Indiaits until dooms day. It was the Bill which we brought forward io 1827, and > again in 1830 to survey ami distribute the Torrito ry, which at last effected the Treaty, mid satisfied Hoss and his followers that the rights of Georgia would he maintained, mid her jurisdiction over , the soil and the people enforced, nt all hazards. We believed as we do now, that the sooner the Indians were removed, tho hotter it would bo for them, and we knew, that tho sooner they were I gone, the better jt wotjld bp for ottrowq citizens. 1 he suggestions of tho Governor upon the sub ject of our militia system tire so just, ami the defects » pointed out are so apparent, that no doubt can ex ist oi the necessity of reformation—indeed of an almost total re-01 ganization of tho whole system. Ihe appeal which he makes to the bounty of tho Legislature, in behalf of the deaf ami dumb, and of a class of beings still more unfortunate, by the absence of reason or its privation, does honor to the softest feelings of humanity, and cannot fail to excite tho warmest sympathies of the gene ral assembly. In relation to Rail Roads, and public improve ments, the Governor has spokcu in language which will meet the hearty response of his fellow-cill zens. Ills object is to stimulate the people, and to direct the public mind to those great objects, and to induce them to invest a portion of the large money capital now in their hands in euterprizes of so much importance to our country. We concur with the Governor upon the organi zation of the Court of Errors, ft is now a |>art of the constitution, and should be carried into practical effect. Let it be organized—let the ex periment be made, and if public opinion sustains it, it will he well ; if not, the constitution belongs to the people and they can control it. j In the hasty view which wo have taken of the Message, w e have overlooked several points iq>on w hich it was our wish to have made some remarks, but such has been the pressing nature of our eu gagenicuts, that it was with great difiicultv we found time to prepare any thing upon the subject. Bill it is before the public, and we recommend it to the attentive perusal of every citizen, nothing doubting, that it will he received with high satis faction by the great body of the people. It w ill he seen by referring to the elections that took place in the j.resent Legislature, that the Van Buren party are decidedly in a majority, and that tho boasting of the opjiosition forsome weeks past of accumulating strength from the Union par ty, on accouut of difference of opinion in regard to the Presidential Election has “vanished into thin air " Van Buren Union men, and White Union nici) , are not to be separated merely because they have differed upon a single vote, and the nullifiers who have reckoned upon such a result, will find them selves sadly disappointed. The Union party was formed upon principle, | and will never be split upou and divided upon per- ‘ sottal j'references, and as it had heretofore stood, ! lit will continue to stand, in one solid uubroken i | phalanx, avocating the sound and genuine prin [ ciples ot State Rights and Union mid opposing with all its cueigit s, the visionary and reckless schemes of nullification. In a spirit of generous and mauly forbearance towards one another—look ing alone to the good of th«ir country, and the hapjiiness and prosperity of her peojile, the Union jiarty renews its fealty to the best jirineijiles of the ’ constitution, and starts from the first Monday in j November 18.‘)<5 with increased confidence am! ad- I ditional energy in the good old cause.
