State Lunatic Asylum. We would be well I i- 1 t» present this speech entire to our read fur we deem it a masterly effort made in be .i.f -fa great cause—perhaps the effort upon wlieli we may base the success which attended it; it the size of our paper effectually prevents our :ng this, aad tve must therefore content our >- - with extracting certain portions, bv no means r unrimg that these shall be the best.' Mr. Lan- i Jriim said: /’/■< sident: 1 do not wish to occupy the time >! the Senate longer than is necessary for me to submit to their consideration the facts I possess • : h relate to this Institution, and to draw from • mi -ueh deductions as are legitimate. There ■ 1 hope 1 shall have their patient attention. j 'hire the year 1347, the legislature has been urg . 3!n every report of the Superintendent and Trus - if this institution to complete the same, and . e it upon such a footing of perfection and ca- ! uity of usefulness as would compare favorable : «. .. suv in our country, and provide suitably for y -s -s of our people. r: , eie to iime limited appropriations have b ,-u :n • ’ 'for the accomplishment of necessary and n< cc'-nds, but no decided step was taken to • fulfillment of the great design until the ve.T - The report of the-Superintendent and Tro« ‘s to the Legislature at that time argues at ,-i ruble length the necessity for such a step. It cannot be pretended, as has been asserted bv , , yntlemen upon this floor, that the Legislature contemplated the perfection of this institution witiiin an expenditure of fifty thousand dollars. , cause the report referred to was in the hands of 1 .'otv moiiiber, in which it was emphatically stated ! fiit the plan proposed had been submitted' to com pel at mechanics, and from the best information • v w.-r • able to obtain, the cost would not be less . : .an one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 1 ..ci informed that every argument submitted by the c.uids of the bill was to forward the filling of the iilank with that sum. The first proposition made i is to this effect. This having failed as well as i . c, -■ to fill with one hundred thousand, seventy- ! ; b e thousand, a friend of the original proposition. . , Mr Walker, of Richmond,) a man who earnestly j -.ired to see our institution placed upon a proper , .'•ing, moved the substitute which was adopted, j • Titidentlv believing that the end desired by every i ] • n«i of the institute would thereby be secured. j ] »V*** * " * * ( That Legislature of Georgia intended, or did not j , intend, to make a suitable and adequate provision j , f.r this most unfortunate class of our fellow-citi- . ns. They inti tided nr did not intend to make \ |>r • isions by which those of our citizens who had , i-ie -could avoid the expense, anxiety and trou- , "f quitting the confines of their own State, to 1 ] wek relief in quarters distant front their friends , and homes. They further intended, or did not in- , : nd, to hold out to those who have not means, . who tiro stricken, not only by lunacy, but by pov- j , i-rtv also, and subject, through tlie ignorance of j | their friends, to the most brutal treatment, the , I-, pe of ail ultimate and triumphant recovery. Let ; | ieendeavor fora few minutes to ascertain correct- , iv what they did inter! by the act to which I have 1 n-ferred. A board of commissioners were to be appointed, whose duty if was to ascertain and de- ‘ •mime what additional buildings were necessary to meet the wants and subserve the interests of ir j'ople with reference to the various forms of 1 lunacy. j You will perceive that the first duty of the coin- ■ .aksiiiners under ‘ their appointment was to ascer- 1 uin th< number of these unfortunate creatures in 1 ir State whose condition demanded public provi- j < . n. Their second duty was to determine upon a i 1 plan "f building best adapted to their wants. All ' this tii, have fnllv and faithfully executed. The 1 latter clause of the act, upon which gentlemen base their objections, goes on to state, that when } their rep, >rt is submitted, the 0 overnor is authorized 1 to draw his warrant on the treasury for such sums ; * us at various times may be required—provided s their estimate does uni exceed titty thousand dol- 1 hirs. Their estimate of what? Why, of the amount I necessary to carry on the work until the meeting t of an ensuing Legislature. This, sir, is the only » construction now occurring to my mind which will j save the last Legislature from the charge of inhu- ' inanity- and folly. Disinterested and competent t men are to be selected from different sect Urn# of the ( Mate. What tor? W liv not select them from 1 about Mi'ledgeville? There certainly could be t-iitnd men of sufficient capacity near the Asylum, i t :; tt the Legislature, fearing that aboard thus sc- j # ■■d mi-:.: o.' blinded to tlie wants of our peopl* j J ';' their interest in building up their city at a large expenditure of public money, thought it best to se- j wen from difere-n‘ section# of the State. Rut ! - : *.rk y-'.i —this precaution was not necessary if 1 the Legislature contemplated the completion and outfit of these buildings within an expenditure of fifty thousand dollars; because then the limit was ] fixed, and tlie only condition of competency for a i commissioner was the capacity for spending in the , most practical manner the appropriation. 'gain—for what purpose, if only fifty thousand I dollars was to be expended, were the commission- i «s directed to make any inquiries whatever in re- j "■ nt the wants of lunatics? Was it for the ■pose of furnishing the benevolent people of our v s*< with tlie tantalizing fact, that two-thirds of wretched, self-destroying maniacs were un t" ,'ided for? The plan of building adopted, »' h will cost, when completed, one hundred and •ry thousand dollars, will only furnish beneficial • ■ ntmodation to one hundred and seventy addi :.al patients, all of which will be appropriated in a Tt time after its completion. We ask, with these -before us, wlia 1 sense is there in appointing . pen to inquire into the wants of our people, anil • 'make suitable provisions for them, if they are to '* circumscribed in their action bv such restric ts as limit their efforts to one-third of the de ds as ascertained ? Why make any provisions -all Shall we say to a portion of our people, , 5 j shall be taxed to defray the expense of making I I -Mie provision for the relief of the insanity of j ■ur neighbors, whilst we in our wisdom have de- 1 ■mined that you shall suffer all the horrors of Vnessing ibe events of the fearful life and miser death of your insane friends and relatives, s ', ut the faintest ray of hope that relief will ; tier be afforded ? * * * * When the buildings are properly constructed, large corridors are made accessible to the private : ms of i very inmate, where sufficient exercise tnav In.- had, and fresh air constantly inhaled. Thev S’ supplied also with a variety of bathing appara tus, leafing flues, ventilating flues, and facilities It classifying patients, so necessary for their com ’rt and well-being. Besides, when the condition "f inmates will admit of it, tliev are not only al : ’ freedom of the corridors for exercise, out d-.I ■ i -door exercise is allowed them, and that of such a nature as is best suited to their par ticular css-s. The inmates of these institutions 1 i:i. cut loose from both the exciting and i te-disj. sing causes of their affections. The ten '.nrmgaud exciting causes of certain mental associ found in and about the homes of those de ■sag?d. Will always tend to retard very materially, - net preclude euttrelv their recovery. The in r"' : these institutions, freed from these un- “ ■■ ' circumstances, are furnished the best 'iv li Ae State can possibly obtain. " iia: becomes of these for whom no public pro ' - ns have been made? Chained down in the * ars - ffi-ventilated apartments of a private dwel ■;3g their lives are eked out without an effort for rescue: or if effort is made at all, a country (perfectly ignorant of the management of CM e is called in to become the executioner of unfortunate being. How often is the picture :ar " T-y than this ? A sister —-or a mother —be- r t.-s alarmed because of some act of threatened '•'ilence, and the county sheriff iif summoned to 'ev h soh or a brother to the pestiferous dttn svnn of the common jail. „ ; Vl , ! men talk about prison houses! There x .j s . a: * id man in one of the up counties of this w; ‘°se son, because of his brutal treatment, ■yam? deranged, and he confined him in an open ■ . ■’•"use- in one comer of his yard with a log chain 3e*>i S anHe ’ a ottered blanket for his bed. , y remained through bleak and dreary days - cs, without a single effort for his rescue, r-.‘“ confinement and exposure ended his ex ,' ;nCv , He was one of your men who called luna -e-'uf. ni *. Prison houses ! I fear gentlemen for g jj. toanagement of lunatics where there is no £', J r ' !c provisions for their relief. Where are those i A Co «tou, e this unfortunate class of our citi r-;to(Hiay because of the insufficient public pro .. V. ' The United States census shows that ,j^, are over eight hundred in our State. 'Where T ’ .i? v ' Friends of the indigent and afflicted! , J w i | i “ five in the moral sunshine of this age, pmnd to acknowledge your regard for the claims of humanity ; wander over the counties of | your own Slate, and you will find, in vour common jails, human beings whom tlie Great'Ruler of this 1 win Id could not find guilty of an offence. Home | less, friendless, deserted by kith and kin, thev are delivered up to the county sheriff’ to be welcomed bv thieves and felons to the reception claims of the lowest and most disgraceful prison houses known to our State, save the penitentiary, and that too ! because of a condition which, if possible, ought to ! move the hearts of demons with p>itv. * * * j Insane persons have been brought to our Asvlum 1 and because there was no accommodation thev i have been turned loose in the woods like hogs to i root for themselves I assert, and defy successful I contradiction, that there are more luua'tics, to-day, ! vv* i. ! S than there are at the asvlum. W e hope alter these statements to hear nothing i more about prision houses from men who know i nothing about the management of the inmates of : these institutions, and who, in forming their opin ions have catered to the prejudicies of well mean- : mg but ignorant people. * * * * ; Looking through the intricacies of society, and i weighing well the many causes there found, which ! are now in operation, and must increase as intel : iectual labor becomes more prevalent, it would i seem to be the immediate duty of everv Senator j on this floor to take into serious consideration ! the extention of our accommodation for this class ! i of our people. Especially so, when informed by the resident Physician of our Asylum, that when adequate ! provisions are made, he feels authorized fromjtwen tv years’ experience in the treatment of insanity, to warrant tlie cure of eighty per cent, of all re i cent cases. Should you hereafter welcome a loved one from our institution, as one of the restored, you will be am/'!;/ repaid for your expense and trouble. As beautiful, as lovely, as intellectual a daughter as ever excited the pride of a mother’s heart, wa« restored recently at our institution, from a state of ■ tb" most perfect insanity, fin which existed suici- i dal delusions that would make your heart shudder, : were 1 to repeat them), to as sound a state of mind I as you are now in possession of. This is no vision- ! ary scheme. If these buildings are completed, a i great majority of our lunatics will be cured. ******** Does it comport with the proud position which ; Georgia occupies in this great confederacy, when entreated and petitioned in behalf of the most un fortunate of all (toil's creatures, to reject our peti tion, and to turn a deaf ear to our entreaties? These entreaties are not made in behalf of the citi zens of another State, but for vour own fellow citi zens, your own kith and kin, who, because of the most afflictive *»f the dispensations of God, are in capacitated for depicting before von, in the words of burning eloquence, their utterly wretched and miserable state. 1 lie wretchedness of such a condition, no tongue can properly describe. The fountains of jov swell ing up from the avenues of social life, are made dry; the tendrils of affection, coiled about the forms of those most dear, are severed ; the pleas ures derivable from the possession of reason are extinguished, and the maniac, alienated in feeling front all that once enlivened his heart, and per verted in judgment to incapacity for self-protec tion. Thus, unless publicly provided for, tliev are forever doomed to a state oi' despair, in which"thev are made the victims of the fearful images and hoi rid phantoms which may chance to creep through 1 tlie dark avenues of their minds. Loved ones may J lament our condition, and tears of bitter anguish i i may be shed when we are dragged from underom i protecting roof, banished from within our family ! circle, to he confined like a wild beast of the for- j ! est, in an open log cabin in one corner of the yard. ! ‘ Neither the tears of the loved ones, nor thesvm- ! i pathv of friends can rekindle a ray of light to dart j athwart the dark chaos of the maniac’s mind. In Ins little hut, with clanking chains about his limbs, I , he occupies a lower position in the great scale of j ’ existence than tlie meanest insect which mnv i ' chance to creep about his den. Not only are his j 1 affections and reason perverted, but the very in- j ( stincte of bis nature are so deranged as to unlit ; them for the longer continuance of life. What, j • then, we ask, is to revert the upturned foundations of the human mind, and gladden the hearts of j many sorrowing families of our State, bv returning - to their fond embraces, not a raving maniac, but a I dutiful son, a lovely daughter, an affectionate wife, j ' a kind husband, clothed in all their natural now- ; ■ ers of mind, revived in all affectionate ties of tho past, and restored to all ihetr capacities for useful- S ness? It is money. We have shown that there are six hundred citizens of our own State whose 1 miserable conditions ire thus pleading for relief. The only question for you to determine is, Hw7 you grant it f i English Conceit.— John Bull was never known J to admit that there was anything out of England superior to something of the same kind iu it; it ! 1 is very seldom that he acknowledges even an ' equality of excellence. Tell him of our American 1 railroads, for instance, and with a semi-eoiitemptu- 1 ous shrug, he will reply—“Oh, yes! very good ■ ! roads you 'ave, that’s true—run fast enough for 1 this bloody country. But you caan’t expect your : * roads to be like ours. You ’aren’t the experience, ‘ you ’aren’t the skill, you ’aven’t the £ you ’aren’t a Stephenson—of course, you count ex- j pect it.” Tell him of our fleet racers, nnd he will ; exclaim with a smile of incredulity, added to the i shrug -“Your racers! Well, yes —you ’ave some * pretty good ’orses. Boston,' Peytiina, Red-Eve, 1 Nina all pretty good ’orses. But then you euan'i 1 expect to ’ave as fine ’orses iu this bloody country : ’ as we ’ave in /Tengland. You ’aven’t the stock, you ’aren’t the trainers, you ’aven’t the stables, you ’aren’t the tracks—of course, you cuan’t expect’it.” ’ Come down to lesser things with him. Tell him of one home-brewed ale, and he will put in, with a giggle, superadded to that smile and shrug—“ Yes, yes ! you have some pretty good ale. But then you c/ian’t expect, in this bloody- country, to ’ave such j ale as we ’ave at ’onto. Why, you ’aven’t the man- ' ulacturers, you ’aven’t the hops, you ’aren’t the : Thames water—of course, you caan’t expect it.” , This standing joke upon English travellers in ! ■ America has been recalled by a little paragraph we J find in an English paper before u.s. It is this : “ English Blossoms.— Pick out the loveliest i ( spots where the most gorgeous flowers of tlie tro- i pics expand their glowing petals, and for every ( scene of this kind we may Mud another at home of | equal beauty and with an equal amount of bril- j liant color. Look at a field of butter-cups and ' daisies, a hillside covered with gorse and broom, i < a mountain rich with purple heather, or a forest . , glade azure with a carpet of wild hyacinths; and tliey will bear comparison with any scene the tro pics can produce. 1 have never seen anything more glorious than an old crab-tree in full ! blossom; and the horse chestnuts, lilacs, and li burnum trill vie with the choicest tropical trees ' and shrubs. Even in the tropical testers there are no more beautiful plants than our own white and yellow water-lilies, our irises and flowering i i rush. There it is again! English butter-cups and j daisies, English gorse and broom, of equal bril liancy ■ because English ) with the peonies, the dah- ; ilus, ‘ the magnolias, the jessamines, the olean ders, the juponicas, the cacti, Ac., of the tropics. Heard ye ever the like? Yet we don’t blame them. It is good to love one’s home and country with a devotion which finds iranscendant beau ties in its very dell and dingle. This is one ol ‘ the elements of an undying patriotism. And in 1 England, where from Chancer down, true poetic inspiration has thrown its gauze-like shadowings of love and beauty over every shrub and flower, it is at once seemlv and honest in her children to look upon their bill-sides and plains as the choicest par terres in all Nature’s wide domain. Conceit it certainly is; hut so blended with virtuous in stincts as to seem almost admirable. Rlgejkld Advertiser. A Great Country for a Lazy Man.—Dr. Me- j Bean, in his lecture on Nicaragua, on Monday ■ night, drew a picture of what could be done in that country by a man who was not disposed to w aste much time in labor, and yet wished to live : independent. The Government gate him two hun dred and fifty acres of land, and the first necessity was a house. This want was quickly supplied bv i the placing of four posts uprightly in the ground, ! the spaces between which were filled in with the common cane, which grew in abundance around, j and this plastered qver with mud. The roof was then thatched with grass, and the house was thus ! completed. Little or no furniture was needed, a hammock answering all purposes of a bed and seat, and almost any kind of earthen vessels would an- \ , swer to cook in. The next care was to plant about a dozen bana na or plantain trees, which needed no further care, and about fifty yards of land should be hilled and planted in vain-, which, if properly placed, would yield enormously. The common frijole and Lima Leans would grow with the yams, as well as a va riety of other vegetables, and the native fruits of tii*** country were almost all indigenous. The plantains and vains would yield more than enough for the subsistence of an entire family, and game of everv variety could he -hot almost from the door of the house. The climate was such as to render little or no clothing absolutely necessary, and thus, with one month’s labor, a man can fix mmselt ’ comfortably for a year. Isn’t that the country for a lazy man ? —X O. Pic. Coweta Court- New Circuit. i March Superior Court of Coweta, commenced here Monday last, Hou. Dennis F. Hammond presiding. With regard to the appointment of Judge, wo be • lieve the Governormade a very judicious selection, - and one which gives general satisfaction.

We know nothing ! about the persons named, their political views, nor j any of the circumstances related, but copy the ar- j , tide as we find it in the Aberdeen (Miss.j Comer - j votive, of the Ist inst,, inasmuch as it is the state- I | ment of a citizen of our own State: ! “Pass the Scoundrel Around. — A reverend vil- j , lain, who hypocritically professes to be a Baptist 1 i preacher, by the name of Thomas Cox, late a resi- ; ! dent of the neighborhood of (Caledonia, Lowndes ! ; county, Miss., being indebted to me, l came from ’ Georgia to collect my money. He professed to be ] | very glad to see me, and spoke warmly of the !

The Allies not having been officially informed of the death of Nicholas, and the acces sion of Alexander, are supposed, diplomatically, to be ignorant of the change.

House, who appeared for (lie first time on Monday, i \ as follows: { i “As he was known to he ninetv-fonr vears old, a • tottering old imbecile was looked for; but what a 1 mistake! lie is to be sure a venerable looking i ! man, but far from decrepid with age.

Referring to the treaty of ls-ty, between Nicaragua and Great Britain, on the subject, I find that the treaty contains a stipulation that if Nicaragua j should attempt at any time “to exercise sovereign- 1 ty over any portion of the Mosquito Territory, or to retake San Juan del Norte, it should he consid ered as a declaration of war against Great Brit ain.” It is also known here that the British Consul nt San Juan has orders, in the event named, to enter his protest against the act, and to advise any one Commander of Her Britanie Majesty’s ships of war | . on the West India station of the same; where upon the attempt is to be prevented or resisted by 1 force. Thus the extent and character of the British Musquito protectorate may soon be practically t tested. ; < Cotton Crop. To the Editor of the Constitutionalist Just at this time, when all parties are specula ting as to the probable extent of the Cotton crop, and consequently its effects upon prices, any infor mation from a disinteresed source must commend itself to the attention of your mercantile readers. The subjoined information is from a retired mer chant in New Orleans, but who has, as yet, been I < unable to divest himself entirely of all interest in 1 the movements of our great staple. The letter bears date 4th inst. After noticing ! some matters of private interest, as also the course of the New Orleans market, for the past month, he proceeds: “ There is nothing before me in the way of addi tional information to induce me to change raj ■ views, that the estimate, 8,"n0,000 hales, will be'the maximum of the crop. The Mississippi packets are now bringing only from one-fourth to one-third of the quantity brought in December, and there is but very little more at the various shipping depots on the Mississippi river below Memphis—by the middle of the present month, the quantity to he re ceived from lied, Ourchita and Arkansas rivers will be pretty difficulty ascertained; notthat the cot ton will all definitely be in market, out of those riv ers by that time, but something like accuracy will j be reached of the quantity oflast year’souton, that laid over, and on which great stress lias been ; manifested in every broker’s office throughout the : confederacy. “ The receipts since the Ist, have already com menced to fall off’ at the rate of 3000 to 4000 bales per day, as compared with the receipts since the j beginning of February; and it is quite evident to | i my mind, that this reduction must continue, with j an occasional variation for the rest of the season. High prices and high rivers, it will he found in the sequel, have caused the present large increase in j the jreceipts. At any rate, the crop of ’52-’53 will certainly not be exceeded by the one now coming ; to market; and holders arc not likely to submit to j any reduction from present rates, with peace and j commercial prosperity staring them in the face. ; At this season last year, the rivers were low, and I the receipts small: hut after the April and Mat rains, the receipts became very heavy, as you will . remember. We must, therefore, not be «i all sur- J prised at the present increase, nor at the decrease : which must certainly follow, later in the season. Yours truly, V.

He immediately plunged into the lint room i through a small aperture, left for unclogging the j mouth of the gin, for the purpose of extinguishing : the fire, which had not yet caught in flames; but shocking to relate, his entrance into the room pro- ! duced a current of air which immediately fanned . the tire into flame, involving the whole in confla gration. Mr.JK. attempting to escape, rushed to the'door of the lint room, and called out for assistance ; but j most unfortunately, the door was fastened on the i outside with a pad-lock, and the key ai that time j in Mr. K.’s pocket. Thus, doomed to destruction, i the unfortunate man resigned himself to his fate ; and was taken from the devouring elements, a few hours after, nearly consumed—both arms and legs burned entirely off, and only a small portion of bis ; body remained to be interred by his weeping 1 friend*. - - Thom-: inllt Southern Enterprise, Alarch 4.

The most extraordinary discovery in the World is the j Great Arabian Remedy for Alan and Beast. H. G. FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT. rStllE beautiful and fertile region skirting the j M. desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is : composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused through the whole nervous system, allaying the most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it. when i you will be convinced that no preparation possesses 1 in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities, i Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled part. It restores the svnovial fluid or joint water, and this is the reason why it has been so success ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme dy stands before any other ever produced. For ague cake or enlargement of the spfeen, it is a spe cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find it gives great relief. It has no equal in the world for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds, j chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in deed nearly all diseases which require an internal application, and many others, are greatly beuefitted by it. It is used externally with great success in goitre, or swelled neck. Scrofula or King’s Evil, Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man. Will cure any case of Sweeney in existence ; also, Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy, Poll Evil, Windgalls, Strains, Bruises, Ac. Look out for Counterfeits '. The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called AY. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects.
