FOR VICE PRESIDENT, .
JOH V FO K S Y T IS.
“A Subseribcr" must pardon us for not complying with
his request. , His poetry may do very well for “ the one
who will understand it,” but, as we do not comprehend the
object of his verses, we must decline their publication.—
If we did not know the peculiar sensitiveness which ncost
persons feel, upon a certain subject, we would advise him
to court the muses no longer. It is a starving business at
best.
We received some days since, aw extra sized Boston
Notion. It is the greatest notion we have had; It was
as large a sheet as we ever saw. It is printed in Boston,
Massachusetts, at Three Dollars a year; and is certainly
very cheap.
We have likewise received "The Hug,” and a comi
cal affair it is.
CONGRESS.
Yesterday was the day for both branches of the Nation- .
al Legislature, to have convened. The President trans
mits his Annual Message to Congress, the sec«*rd 4«y of
the Session. In our next, we hope to present this paper
to our readers.
THE I.EGISI.ATIRE.
In the House, on Saturday, Nov. 23.
The bill to exempt all practising Physicians, frem Mili
tia duty, was read the second time, and on motion, com
mitted until June next.
In the Senate, on Saturday, 234 Nov.
The bill to amend a part of the first section of the third
article, of the Constitution »f this State, was lost, —ayes
52, nays 27— not a constitutional majority.
In the House, on Tuesday last.
The bill to lay out and organize a new judicial circuit,
and to re-organize the Chattahoochee circuit, to add the
county of Houston to the Southern circuit, and to alter and
fix tlte times «f holding the Superior and Inferior Courts
therein named, was postponed until June next.—ayes 96.
and nays 67.
In the Senate, on Wednesday, November 27th, Mr.
Bates laid on the table, the following preamble and reso
lution:
\V hcreas the measures of the Federal Government, un
der the administration of Martin Van Buren, have met the
decided approbation of a large majority of the Citizens of
this State, and are of a character in the opinion of this
General Assembly, to entitle hiiti to re-election for ano
ther Presidential term; —and whereas the hixli character
and long and faithful services of John Forsyth, make him
the favorite son of Georgia, and the consistency of his
principles, and bis able and unwavering support of the
great republican interest of his country, strongly recom
mend him to the Democratic Party of the United Stales,
for the Vice Presidency of the United Slates.
Be it therefore Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives, of the State of Georgia, in General As
sembly met, and it is hereby resolved, That Martin Van
Buren and John Forsyth, be recommended by this Gen
eral Assembly, to the Democracy of the United States,
and to the People of this State; the former for re-election
to the office of President of the United States and the
latter for the office of Vice President.
In the House, on Thursday, Nov. 28th.
I he bill to lay out a new county from the counties of
Cass, Cherokee, Gilmer, and Murray, was read the se
cond time, and on the motion of Mr. Stell, of Gwinwett, to
lay the bill on the table until June next, the yeas were 87,
and nays 32.
In the House, on Friday, Nov. 29.
The bill to repeal the law of capital punishment, so far
as free white persons are concerned, was on mation ofMr,
Smith of Randolph, laid upon the table, for the balance
of the session.
The bill ta authorize the Sheriff of Washington county,
to advertise his Sales in the Southern Advocate, wao re
jected.
The bill to alter and amend the Ist sec. of the 3d arti
cle, of the Constitution of this State, war lost, — ayes 82,
and nays 78— not a constitutional majority.
On Wednesday last the house of representatives took up
the consideration of the bill introduced by Gen. Glascock,
to regulate the emission of bank bills under certain cir
cumstances. A motion was made, to use the chaste ex
pression of the occasion, "to June it." But the house did
not sustain the motion. After considerable discussion,
the further consideration of the subject was deferred until
to-morrow.
What will be the final action of the legiilatuie on this I
subject, we are unprepared to say. There exists such a I
contnrlety of opinions—some are for destroying the sus
pended banhs at er.ee—some in favor of the suspension—
and others prefer the provisions of Gen. Glascock’s bill.
All parties seem irreconcilable.
The friends of the batiks declare the present bill uncon
stitutional, and ruinous to the banking interests of th*
state. They will not sustain a bill which interferes, as
they dec'are this does, with the obligation of contracts.
The onponentsof the banks assert that Gen. G.’s bill is
4 measure to anstain the banks—and that it virtually le
galizes bank suspensions.
The friends of the bill think that its provisions are just
such as the present juncture of a ('fairs demand.
For ourselves we shall bow with deference to the artion
of the legislature. They are too honest to knowingly du
wrong, and we hope they possess intelligence enough to
pursue whatever policy may best subserve the interest and
prosperity of the people.
In the Senate, ,‘vs bank bill was discussed for some
days last week, and many amendments engtaflnd upon it;
and at last, upon.the final rote, on Saturday evening, the
bill was lost. The original supporters of the bill forsook
it as it was not the kind of a bill they were anxious to pass |
and the bank men voted against it—and thus the efforts
ol the senate have resulted in a failure.
Etcellent.— A farmer of Newport N. H., detecting a
couple of able-bodied fellows mAbiu fr-e with his corn,
threatened to agposc them m<i. , id-. v t ,.. n t to t ork awi■

all before morning. I
THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD.
Much discussion took place in both branches of the Le
gislature, during the last week, in relation to this Road.
The result has been, that the Road will be continued to
Ross’ Lauding, ami additional State Scrip be issued, if ne
cessary to complete die work.
SOI Til CAROLINA.
; The legislature of this stale met in Columbia, on Mon
! day the 25th ult. The Governor’s message is a short but
i interesting stale paper. From it we learn that the aggre
i gate debt of that state is $3,639,243 81, while there are
assets to the amount of $3,630,830 21, being an excess
of $591,586 in favor of the state. The profits of the
Bank of die State, dining the past year,amounts to about
$210,000. This sum has been carried to the sinking
fund, which now amounts to $948,058 39, and out ot
which SBOO,OOO of the public debt will be redeemed on
the first of January next.
We notice that petitions from the districts of Yml and
Darlington, fur abolishing the license law, were presented
in the senate on the second day ot the session.
■ The following is a list of tlte banks ia this state which
have suspended specie payments —
Bank of Augusta.
Insurance and Banking Company, Augusta.
Georgia Rail Road Bank and Branches.
Bank of Milledgeville, '
Ocntulgee Bank, Macon.
Monroe Rail Road Bank, and Branches.
Planters’and Mechanics’ Bautt, Columbus.
Haul of Columbus.
Western Bank, at Rome.
Bank of Darien and Branches.
Branch State Bank, at August*.'
The Branch State Bank, at Athens, it is believed has
suspended.
The exports of cotton from Egypt for the present year,
will»,mount to sixty thousand bales, of three hundred and
fifty pounds. Os this quantity there are 500 bales of Sea
Island cotton, which the Pacha has introduced into Egypt.
The rest is of the quality called maho, from a triennial
plant or cotton tree, e. hicii lasts three years. Egyptian
cotton, from the length of its staple and fineness, com
mands the next highest price to our Sea Island. It sells
for sixteen dollars the hundred in Alexandria.
SENSITIX E HAIR.
In the hospital of the Royal Guards at Paris, was a pri
vate soldier who had received a violent kick on the back
of his bead from a horse. The excitement of the hair
produced was extreme, and could only be kept under by
almost continued bleedings, both Imai and general.—
Amongst a series of phenomena produced by the state of
preternatural excitation, the sensibility acquired by the
hairs of the bead was not the least remarkable. The
slightest touch was felt instantly, and cutting them gave
exquisit.* pain, so that the patient would seldom allow unv
one to come sear his liead. Barron Larrey, to put him to
the test, gave a bint to an assistant, who was standing be
hind the patient, to clip off .tome hair without his perceiv
ing it. This was done with great dexterity, but the sol
dier broke out into a volley of oaths, succeeded by com
plaints, and it was some time before he could be appeased.
—French Paper.
AUGUSTA, NOV. 28.—COTTON.—There has
been an active demand during the week, and prices have
advanced fully a quarter of a cent on all qualities, particu
larly prime, which, in square bales, meets with ready sale
at 9 a 9j- cents’ The sales this week have been large, a
mo'jntieg to 2157 bales from warehouses, which » <-re
dispose of as follows .■ 23 bales old at 7J), 89 ne<- at 8, 18
at
9|, and 123 at 9|. From wagons and by planters soles
have been made to about the above amount, and at prices,
if any thing, a shade less. We quote 8 a 9 cents—for
strictly |*nwe in square bales 9 a 9}. The stock of cot
ton in Augusta and Hamburg at the precent time amounts
to about 25,000 hales.
The New-Orleans Bulletin states that the Texian loan
of $5,009,000 has been negotiated in England, vt 8 per
cent, interest per annum, payable ai uually, and redeema
ble in 30 years.
President Boyer.—A correspondent of the N’ Y. Ob
server, writing form France, says, “ I was seated in the
diligence beside a wall dressed man of very resjtect.ble
appearance, who., after some conversation, asked me if
Boyer was still President of the United States!”
From the Augusta Constitutionalist.
New-Yorx, Nov. 16, 1839—3 P. m.
I hoped to send you the news by the British Queen
to-day; but I do not p reeive how I can do it, as she
is not in sight yet. The Great Western is off to-day,
but there is little noise about it. She takes but few
passengers. People find out that they have been
abroad two much and spent a great deal of money,
which, if they only had it back again, would comfort
them now exceedingly. She took but thirty-one pas
sengers. No specie has gone by her, and none worth
naming, has been expor ed this week. Indeed bills
h ive fallen quite below all idea of specie, so that some
prolz bly, Iras been bought with the purpose of bring
ing the proceeds back in coin. Sterling bills have
b«en sold at all sorts of prices, down to 4 per cent,
and perhaps less; and early in the week the price of
prune bills was not over 6 per cent, premium. At
the very close of business this morning, there was a
scarcity of first class bills, and a few sales here made
at 9 per cent premium; but [ suppose 6to 7 and pro
bably 5 to 6 is enough to quote now the Western is
off. ihe remittances, I judge, have been quite large.
The easier state of money affairs, has enabled men to
remit, and in truth, the bills themselves have furnish
ed the means in a great measure, to buy themselves,
for they came here as remittance in payment of debts.
(lotton is in a drooping state. The sales of the
week are 2,700 bales, closing very quietly, and with
prices J cent lower than last week; fair Uplands are
about 10J cents per lb. The range of sales is from
Ah a 12J cents.
Flour has advanced 75 cents. Genessee was yes
terday firm at $6 25, and most of the sales were lar
ger by 6 a 12 cents. To-day it flags ;1 little, |, nl
stands at *6 25; Ohio $6 12 a 25; Ge<»rgeto»n $6
55. Southein Corn has sold as low as 625 cents, but
has become scarce now, ami before arrivals, would
command 67 a7O cents 56 lbs. Hire s liiirr at 3J
a cents per lb.; shewing a d.rlin. from | ;< st week.
All sotts of provisions are cheaper it our markets
than for ten years before, I nwaii in the markets at
which our families gi t their d; i'- supplies,

passed away; I hear nothing said about 3.e state of'
money.

of southern funds, and if only the banks at the south
will conduct prudently, as I have said before, they
w ill pay specie before they know it, or at any rale will
be in specie paying trim.
The delimit! result of the New York election, gives
the state to the Whigs in all brandies. 1 hey stand
pledged to enact a law requiring a registry of voters
previous to election.
The election for State officers took place in Mas
sachusetts on Al outlay. We have about all the re
turns, and tiny leave us more in doubt about who is
Governor, than we were before the election. Ever
ett, the Vi big Governor, had last year about 11,000
• majority. This year Alorton, the Democratic candi
date, will come out some 200 to 400 ahead, but the
scattering votes will probably defeat a choice and
throw tht matter into the Legislature, and how that
stands is not yet certain.

UNION, Ga. Nov. 17th, 1539.
Dr Barlldl— Dear Sir—At our last Crawford
Court, I mentioned to you about some new Corn
which I had procured. At that time I was unable to
give you a history of its orign—lt is the Chinese
Tree, or Fall Prolific Corn. I planted a small
patch in the grounds on Flint River, entirely to itself
to prevent it from mixing with our common corn.
It bears from 5 to 10 years on a stalk, and frequently
two ears on one of the arms projecting from the stalk,
giving it the appearance of a branch tree. It is very
early; two or three weeks earlier than our common
corn ; the top ears are ofgbod size and it produces as
much fodder as the common corn. The stalk is very
tall and large. A great many persons saw it before
the fodder was ripe, who affirmed that they never saw
anything to ecptal it before—lt was thought by all
who saw it, that it would produce 100 bushels per acre;
and I am confident it would have done so, if it bad I
not been injured by tiie drought in the early part of
the spring, which affected all of our forward corn in
this country. I gave Mr. Nathaniel Bradford, our
Senator from this county, about one pint of the corn,
which he planted in his pineland, adjoining the com
mon corn, and it produced from 3to 6 ears to the
stalk. On any land, it will more than double any
of our common corn. It was introduced in this coun
try by Grant Tbornburn, Esq. of New York, and 1
brought from the North by the Hou. William C. Daw- '
son, one of our members in Congress. He planted
it last year on his farm, in Greene county. I there pro
cured the seed I planted this year.
Believing it to be a valuable acquistion to 'all of i
our farmers, I have thought proper to send you this,
hoping you vt ill give it a place in your valuable paper.
I have about 50 bushels left, which I will sell, if appli
cation is made ot my plantation in Crawford county, !
or at the store of Terrell & Montfort, in Talbot county. 1
The corn has the appearance of being mixed, as re
gards color—the earlier ripened ears have a glossy,
bright appearance, and are in color, between a buff &,
white—while the latter, on the same plant, are nearly
pure white. Very respectfully.
DAVID TERRELL.
INDIANS.
On Saturday evening last, as Mr. Isler, living about
four miles from town, was out, driving for deer, with
some of his neighbors, the dogs suddenly took offin a
new direction, apparently eager in pursuit of some
other game from that which they had just been run
ning. Air. Isler was attracted to follow his dogs from
their extraordinary movements and wild conduct, and
after proceeding a short distance, discovered what 1«
supposed to be a runaway negro, standing behind a
small tree, and asked him what he was doing there.
As soon as he spoke, however, lie discovered that it
was an Indian, who raised bis rifle to shoot Isler, and
did fire, his ball grazing the breast of Isler: at this mo
ment a white man in company fired upon the Indian,
and wounded him. Mr. Isler also shot him, and the
Indian was killed on the spot. His scalp was taken
offand brought to town. Eleven Indians were seen
to cross the St. Augustine road, on Sunday. In thir
ty minutes from the time the nev.»s above related
reached to’en, the minute men were in pursuit, and
tracked the foe several miles, but lost their winding
way in the hammock. On this occasion, the Indians
have evinced great boldness, having approached near
er to the city than ever before. Every man should
be on the alert, and be prepared to defend himself.—

RELIGION ENHANCES EVERY ENJOYMENT.
We may see how completely religion is adapted to,
; the nature of man, by observing that even the elements
of enjoyment (and they are many, though fleeting,)
which this world contains, are never fully tasted but
by religious persons. Those abundant sources of
pure delight which are to be found in the heart, the
intellect, and the imagination, are never received in
their fulness but by them ; and w hy ? because they are
the germs of their future and more glorious being,
I and can only flourish in a soil akin to that ultimately
| destined for them. In a wordly mind, like plants re
| moved from their original soil and climate, they exist,
! indeed, but with a blighted existence; and produce,
j but how degenerate is the production ! Every thing
; that wants religion wants vitality. Philosophy with
out religion, is crippled and impotent; poetry without
‘ religion, has no heart-stirring powers ; life without
! religion, is a complex and unsatisfactory riddle; the
; very arts which address themselves to the senses, never
proceed so far towords perfection as when employed
on religious subjects. Religion then, can be no ob
' stacle to enjoyment, since the only sources of it wiiich
are confessedly pure, are all enhanced by its posession.
Evett in the ordinary commerce with the world, what
a blessing awaits an exemption from the low and sor- j
did spirt, the petty passions and paltry feedings, which ;
abound in it!
