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, population and resources, that ‘ some corresponding changes or molli fications be made in the o ganic law. 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 you in perlormm : his delicate task, I have procur'd ’or the use of the Con’rfition -Yol. I’ ; ilation” of the reiir-u.- of l v > 1 w .i:h will be for", tii-hcd when l sh e L W’liiin tie - ‘ w-1 rs wo have made severa’ c; or •: c: *s on cur judi cial tj? :■ h e <erirr.onts, I, think? Ii vo •cr I • ; ed shat the’ jedges b\ i a -lie i: :< [ci. !ont of the Executive, and that sound policy and the wiiuio.—iiiis adiiuuisu+iiim ut law, ; require that the G6veni* r|bc deprived . i of the qppohttiucnt of all ju lieijf fit tic. ‘ tionarres. The administration of jus- . 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 vote, a* it our calamities have been heavy; but w* should do well to re* member, that this great change is oi Him. who docs all tilings wisely, and “according to the counsels of 11 is will.’’ J.

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 remera ! b<T that wejiavo no parties now—and 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. CM>Mi JCKXMOXATj KI.GCTIOX. 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. “Unripe fruit is dangerous,” said ] an old maid to her young niece “So is decayed,” replied the impudent hussey. rut: com rvno.v. This body met at M illedgeville otf Wednesday of last week, and was or ganized under the superintendence of ‘of Provisional Governor Johnson. — The amnesty oath was administered to all the members, by Hon. Iverson L. Harris. Mr. Jenkins Dominated Hon 11. V. Johnson, for President of the ; Convention, and he waS elected by ;l I nearly unanimous vote. A committee l of sixteen, leiug one from each Judi-’j cial District, was appointed to report , business for the actiin-of the Conven tion, at the head of which wc notice. Mr. Jenkins as Chairman, a sure guar- i antoc that the business- reported by i the Committee will he well digested,, and in keeping with the character of t our State.

State Legislature, on the. fifteenth of I■° ’ . November, was adopted, and will be found in out columns. An ordinance was passed repealing I -the secession ordinance.. It is sup j .posed that tli ; Convention’ will bo m | session about two weeks.’ • j ffClu We notice in tlie proceedings ; of the Convention that the following 1 resolution was.offered by Mr. Ander son of Savannah : . “AVWf'vJ, That a committee of five be appointed by the chair-, to. metuori ! alixe the President of aim United} States in behalf of Jefferson Davis. 1 and A. 11.

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 J. P. IIA It lIIMO.X & NOA M. 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.
