GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
(tcntlrmfh of the Co,n\i'b,,n
r l lie circumstances under which u
have assembled, make it proper in ny |
judgement, that you .-liould have ct
before y Mi a summary of the financial
condition of the State, that ydß may
he the better prepared to give appro*
priate directions to the Executive ofti
cere touching the discharge of impor
tant duties* neccessary to he performed
before the Legislature will assemble* *
Upon entering on the duties of my ‘
office 1 ascertained f.om a source deem
ed reliable, that the cotton which had :
been previously purchased by the
State, had either been captured or ’
csuiMiiiicd by fire ; and that all of the
assets the State held abroad, had been
drawn against to the full extent of l
►heir value.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad
yielded us no income an i the stock be
longing to the State in Hanks, and
other Railroads were entirely unavail
able. Our charitable Institution.-, tin?
Academy for the blind at the city of
Macon, and the Lunatic Asy'mu at
this place, were without funds and arc
now compelled to resort to such credit
as they may obtain to procure supplies
necessary tor the maintennne of their
unfortunate inmates —The Penitenti
ary with its shops and machinery', lias
been nearly d< stroyd—to such an ex
tent, as to render it wholly inadequate
to accomplish the purpose designed—
und nearly all of the convicts have ct
their escaped or I ecu discharged.
It will be necessary therefore to
make s imc provisions to carry into
effect the judgemets of the courts
against cettain criminals for offences 1
committed in violation of existing
law-, or which may be committed, un
til dew laws shall be mtPc prescribing
new penalties and other modes of in
flicting punishment for crime.
J hiring the progress of the war, the
Western & Atlantic Railroad was at
Vernately destroy’d and rebuilt by the
contending armies, until by the opera
tion of last spring it finally fell into the
possession of the military authorities
of the United Etartes. Ry them it was
temporarily repai ed and put in run- 1
ning order, and by them retained until
about the 25th of last month, w hen it
was turned over to the IS: ate upon cer
tain terms and conditions proposed by
the United States. Most of the do
• pot* on the road, ami the workshops on
it, are to bo repaired or rebuilt; many
cross ties to be furnished and much of !
the iron to be relaid. The bridges ;
over the streams wee Lund to be iiail
and liable to be swept off by the fir.-t
heavy freshets Such being the case
the supefintendant and directors did
not hesitate with my approval to enter
into*contracts for the immediate con
struction of permanent and substantial
bridges. They are* fourteen in nuni*
her, and by the terms of the contracts
n>rs arc to be completed by the 15th
of December next. The rolling stock j
on the road being insufficient, the su
perinfendant and directors purchased
of the United States nine engines and
about one hundred cars.—This outlay
cannot be met by flic proceeds of the
road,but will require, it is estimated,
more than a half million of dollars.
1 have caused some repairs to be put
opou the State House and the Execu
tive Mansion. Those will requiric
further appropriations, to replenish
and put them in proper order. Hav
ing no available assets with which fcf
pay the mileage of the members of the
Convention or their per diem, 1 bor.
rowed on the faith of the J?tate, from
citiiens of Augusta, about the Mini of i
fifty thousand dollars, to be used by
the Convention for that purpose- Spe
cial contracts have been made with
the citizens lending the money, to
which contracts I invite yoifl attention
*nd respectfully ask that they be
approved and that provisions be made :
to meet them promptly.
Since our last election for members
to the Congress of the United States,
anew appointment of Representatives
lias been made under the Census Re*
turns of PSliO; and by that apportion- !
meat the number allotted to the State
of Georgia, is reduced to seven. It
being desirable that Representatives
should be elected at as <mrly a day as
practicable, it will be proper that the .
Convention shall by resolution or oth
erwise, divide the State into the re. r
quisite number of Districts and order
that the election for members to Con •,
gress be held on the same day as that!
on which the Govennor and members
fthe General Assembly may be di
rected to Do lioldi n.
The changes which the war and its
results have made in our property,

some corresponding changes or molli

fixing the basis and the mode of repre
eentaticn in each branch of the Gene
ral Assembly. To approximate per
fect justice on this subject, is, under
the most favorable circumstances, ah
most impossible ; but with us, at pres-1
ent.it is still more difficult, because of
the want of ,ic. urate statistical infor
mation. For t o purpose of ailing

I have procur'd ’or the use of the

i of the qppohttiucnt of all ju lieijf fit tic.

tiee will, under the new condition of
j society, require that the organic law be
; so made, as to allow the Legislature to
establish inferior tribunals in each ;
1 county with jurisdiction over certain
classes civil and criminal eases The
sessions of swch courts should be fro- >
1 quent so as to dispftteh business with- 1
out delay, and should be held subject .
to legislation from time to time, as the.l
pubhe exigencies might require.
In this connection l cannot forbear
; earnestly recommending to vour dolib
; ciate condition, the propriety of order
ing hat the Supreme Court, shall hold
its sessions at one place, and that one
place shall bathe seat of Government ,
i for the State The advantages resul
ting from it will he many and grent. ’
It will better secure the convenience ;
of suitors, and approximate more near
ly in distributing justice to eaeli
man’s door. It will add consequence
to our Capital, give more dignity to
the Court, and more -authority to their
| decision.
The public debt of the State as re i
ported, by the Comptroller amounts to
! about 20,5i10,525 dollars. Os this j
sum 2- r G7,750 dollars, were contrac. i
ti and prior to the commencement of the !
war, the. balance about 18,135,775 j
dollars during its existence. On the
amount incurred previous to h-stili
: ties there is now due and unpaid, about
the sum of 231.000 dollars. The lia
bilities incurred before the war is in
j every sense a debt, ami the State is
bound by every consideration of good
: faith and public morality so to regard
it. and to make provision fur the
prompt and faithful discharge o‘ such ;
liability. No reasonable doubt can be
entertained that, such will be her plea
sure and tier action. But the debt
■ created during the war, stands on a |
! very different basis. It is of no legal
j or mol til obligation because it was ere
-1 ated to aid in the prosecution of a war
I of rebellion against tb* United States
i The purpose sought to be accomplish
, ed was unconstitutional, and all who
! participated in anywise in the effort to
; sever the country, were violators of j
law, and can therefore set up no claim
either legal or equitable for money ad !
vuneed or for services rendered. Fur- !
thermore these contracts, from which :
a liability is said to result were made 1
with Georgia in revolt-'—with Georgia 1
as a member of the Confederate States ‘
‘Government. The Government to i
1 which she then belonged, lias been
; overthrown, and with its overthrow,
1 all Confederate debts became cxtincti
Georgia as a component part of it, no |
longer exists and her debts then in- i
Citric J. have in like manner been ex. I
tingnished. She is now no longer in j
revolt. She is one of the States of j
! the Federal Union, and in her return ‘
! to reconciliation, her allegiance to the 1
Government requires that the act of!
secession be cancelled, and all other 1
acts done and performed in aid of the
rebellion he declared void and of none
effect. The ultimate redemption of!
the currency, both State and Confcd- !
crate, was made dependent in fact, and
1 in terms upon the result of the fatal 1
I struggle. No one expected payment !
; if finally defeated in our efforts to sc- ‘
: cure independence, and therefore no
I p ighted faith is violated by a refu
sal on the part ul Georgia to assume
j to pay an indebted It Css dependent on
the issue. The currency and tlio cause i
flourished together while in life, and ;
; the cause is no longer a being, the j
1 currency that sustained it may as well j
be interred in the same grave.
; °
To call a refusal on the part cf the
State to acknowledge or pay these ex
tinct demands repudia ion, is but a
i perversion of the use of language, j
! and presents an appearance of an at
tempt to su tain and uphold a desper
ate cause by a resort to odious words
j and opprobrious epithets. Our bur.
dens are already great and our
, strength greatly diminished. The as*
sumption of such a debt will still add
to our weakness, impair our credit, ini
crease our taxis, deter immigration,
prevent capital from seeking an in
vestment ameng us and will embar
j ia?s us in a variety of Ways for years i
|to come. f i
To transfer this great question to j
j the Legislature will be considered as. a j
1 quasi endorsement of its justice. The ;
Legislature will have its own peculiar j
burdens to bear, and will be pressed j
t with business beyond that of any one j
that has assembled in our day. It \
will be charged with framing ami pas- I
1 sing tax laws, penal laws, laws relating
to contracts, and to all the manifold !
relations of life. Such subjects will ■
be sufficient to consume the time and 1
the talents of the most aMe and in- ‘
dustrious of men. and the public wel- ‘
fare will demand that, to these sub !
jects. the members of the Legislature j
! shall give their earnest, best and nn- ‘
divided efforts. Let not that body, j
w mod in session, be beseiged, from day I
taday, by claimant* and their agents
? n ‘ attorneys, urging ths assumption,
! ,!1 hole or in part of these unconsti
| futiona! demands. Let the hope of
, reward in such efforts be entirely cut
i off, iet this overflowing fountain of
corruption be now and forever dried
up ; and let the record of your action
on this subject discourage, in the fu- i
ture, all premature efforts to overthrow
long and well establish’d Government.
In a word, ordain solvitinly and delib
i-raiely* that no Legislature, now or
hereaCcr, shall, dircet’y qr indirectly,
in whole or in part, assume to pay, iu
any manner, these demands, unconsti- j
tutienal in their creation, and many ol
them without even the countenance cf
equity to support them.
The events of this year will consti
tute an era in history. Slavery has
been abuiished in these States. Geor
gia,4n Convention, is called upon to
put on record an acknowledgement-of
. the accomplished fact, to give assu
rance to mankind that involuntary i
servitude shall not hereafter,, in any
form, or by virtue of any device, ex- :
ist within her borders ; to enjoin on
succeeding legislators that they shall 1
guard by law the community from the I
evils of sudden emancipation ; shall
secure those emerging from bondage,
in the enjoyment of their legal rights;
and shall protect the humble, the ig
norant and the weak from wiong and ,
aggression. Such arc some of the un
! foisrcn and wonder ul result* of the
war. In pas- ng through this fevolu*
i tion, our ch.isttscnients.have been se

heavy; but w* should do well to re*

It will be seen by the ordinance cf
the Convention tint the election for
Governor, Members of Congress and
Members “f llio Legislature, is order
ed to be In. Id on the fi/Umth <luy of
Xocnnbo*- next, just two weeks from
to-day. The time allowed is short,
but justified by the urgent necessity of
the country. Let the people at once
i select their best men for making laws.
| Remember the great importance of
i having anew code of laws, framed so
as to insure the means of niakin” la..

country remunerative, ns well as the
I absolute necessity fur rendering the
[ criminal law effective for the prompt,

I forgetting past differences of opinion;
1 select the men who are best fittci] by
their wisdom and integrity to britm
; back order and prosperity to our dis
! turbed and desolated State.
The Convention have not yet adop
led a new’ Cnnsfitiitioii, end we can
not say therefore how the representa
tion may be changed, but from the
short time given, it is probable that no
change will be made in the number of i
I
Members to which each County is cm
I titled.

15y the ordinance passed by the
Convention, the election for Members
Cf Congress fakes place on the 15th
of November. The time is short, and |
wcfcar that some of the Counties in
the District will barely hear .of it in
time to vote, much less to take any
united action as to Candidates. We
have no Candidate to propose, but
suppose there will be some anxious !
enough for the position to get their !
names to the different Counties in ,
time to catch votes. All we desire is i
ito have a tit man. We notice that 1
i some parties are advising the South- !
! cm peop’c to be sure to send men who
j can take the notorious “test oath.”—
. Wc do not believe that this oath will
be required, and if it be, then wc had
rather not be represented. No man
who can honestly take that oath is
| fit representative of our people, and
wc had much rather not be repre en- :
ted at all, than to be so outrageously j
: misrepresented as we should bo by
such a man. If wc are to have the j
right of election let us use it, but if
the Radicals arc to have the right to j
dictate who shall represent us, let
them select their own men. If the
true Southerner is to l>e kept out of
Congress only Jbcease he has been true ;
and faithful, then let us not scud the j
false or weak, just to gratify our ene
-1
tines.

THE El It K.
About 2 o’clock last \\ eduesday
morning the citizens of our quiet town :
were roused from their peaceiul slum
-1 bers by an alarm of fire. The tire,
1 doubtless the work of an incendiary,
I originated in a store house fibed with
i cotton, adjoining the old Post Office',
!on Jackson Street. The stoic was
owned by Mr. Spalding Paine of this .
city ; the cotton by parties iu Florida. I
The wind being fully high at ti c
’ time, the flames communicated with
: and consumed 11. M. Chastain’s Store,
containing a stock af goods iiviicd by
11. Quinn. They afterwards reached
and burned a stable, the property, of
Col. Mclntyre, making an estimated
loss of 20,000 dollars.
For some time the fire threatened
to prove the greatest conflagration in
the annals of Thomasvill ■, hut owing
to the indefatigable efforts of the ci i- ’
| zens audjothers, the flames were check
ce before they reached Broad Street.
We do not wish to be invidious, but
the thanks of the citizens are especial
ly due Gen. Vaughn, Messrs James
Sheldon and I. D. Wing, Revenue
Tax Agent, for services rendered in
] staying the progress of the flemes

It affords us much pleasure to insert ,
the business card of this firm. The
senior partner was a resident here as a
i refugee for a time, and our citizens re- !
! member him well as a high bred, hon
orab’c and intelligent gentleman, and :
| a most thorough dusiness man, and
entitled to the fullest confidence. We 1
j j
aic j leased to learn through Capt.
Butler, who represents the house, that
they are fully prepared to carry on
business, and that a line of steamers
will probably be put on the route at ‘
an early day, between St. Murks and }
New Orleans. This connection will i
afford many facilities for our planters i
and business men, and we trust that
its importance will be fully apprccia- j
ted by them, and especially in their
business matters this excellent firm
will be remembered, as we know of
no man more eminently deserving the 1
patronage of the pcblic than Mr. liar*
ison.
We regret to have to announce
the death of Mr. Siiki.don Swift, of
this County, who died on the 23d of;
last month, at his residence. Mr.
Swift was an eminently practical and
successful planter, a usctul citizen, and
an active member of the Primitive ,
Baptist Church. His sickness was
*>hort and severe, but borne with pa*
lienee and resignation. and lie died in
full liopc nod assurance of .'eternaj
blessedness. We trust some fried wiil
