LEWIS DUPREE, Jr.Adm’r. Oct. 9 53 w-X Oil aSA sm»®3k FLORENCE, GA. * i.iriiaj'.SoveißliCT 10, ISSS. ft Ail .ON FOR RELIEF. The citizens of Stewart, who have been and are sufferers m consetpaeuce of the depredations committed oy the ■* >ln tiaus in tiie try ing tunes of 1836, fc ive scut up a petition to the Leg |ature praying that bouy to afford them relief. Having be i b tied and disappointed by the Con gress of the United States, whose duty it was to remunerate them for their looses, and seeing no other means left them oy which they may be ena bled to avert the impending storm which lowers now so threatuiugly over their heads, they have been driven to this, their last resort, and the ques tion now is, will their petition be granted—will their fellow-citizens, who compose the Georgia Legislature, also turn a deaf ear to their entrea ties, and send them from their doors empty and penny less ? We beueve ill y will not, as we teil confident there is as much ot the “milk of hu man kindness” in the breast ot those who call themselves Georgians, as m that ot any other peo ple, and it is only necessary for them to know that a porti j l . ' neh' p( .■ •• £ trom some calamitous and uiilorsceu circumstances, and they are not ot that class to be behind their lel low-citizens ot the sister States in deeds oi' chari ty aud benevolence. The petitioners have cited circumstances where citizens who nave sutlered from the destruction of ill. ir property by lire, have met with rei.el from tao L -gislature of the State in which the calami ty occurred, by having extended to them a loan of a sufficient amount to meet their engagements uud ameliorate their distress. They have instanc ed New York, Charleston and Savannah, to whose citizens the kindness and liberality of the Legis latures and the people of the different States have been so s nerously extended. We w-.ulu at this time, particularly call the at tention of our Legislature to the noble example so recently set by our sister State South Carolina, in tm aid which she afforded the citizens of Charleston when that beautiful city was laid to ashes by the devouring element; and how nobly did that State sustain her character for liberality and benevolence, h administering to the .ofs dh u 0 And is the situa tion oi our cituens and that of the inhabitants of Charleston different? AVe think not, unless U.e difference exists in die more torlorn and help less condition ot thoxe > v.-osed to the attacks ot the marauding savage, than that of those whose property was devoured by the flames. Were the citizens oi Charleston driven from their homes by the raging of the fnery clement, then to see their houses aud possessions tail amidst the ciack ling of the flames? tso were our citizens com pelled to forsake their homes, not however, be cause these homes were in -i blaze ot tire, but be cause a merciless sav was close upon tnem, and unless they fled for safety elsewhere, they knew, by the dreadful fate of their neighbors and (Vi-mts, that they* their wives and children must fall victims to the deadly rifle and scalping knife ts their unrelenting and unfeeling enemy. 1 bus driveu from their tire-sides, every thing many pos sessed on earth was it texposed to the rapacity ot their savage foe. The torch was applied to the dwellings of many, and laid waste ; their barns and corn cribs shared a similar fate, aud tlie.r tields ot flowing corn and thriving cotton were entirely demolished. The sufferers then laboring under these calamitous circumstances have been thrown into a forlorn aud almost hopeless condition; and now, what they have been enabled to accumulate by their industry since the ravag ing storm of 1836 has blown over, together with ivhat little escaped the raging of that storm, for the support of their wives aud little ones, is about t 0 be snatch“d from them by the sheriff to satisfy ihe ijuuiids of their inexorable Creditors, when nad it not oeen ior the mismanagement ot those in power, they never would have been involved. Let our Legislature consider the more than de plorable and wretched condition in which our ci tizens will be placed provided their property is sold upon the blocw m these times of distress, and they can but extend to the loan ot a sufficient amount of money t > rescue their property from a sacrifice so gre t. and a calamity so direful. Let them but consider that those who now petition .or rebel, nobly breasted the storm oi Indian war fare, and battled manfully for the protection o; tiie State and the honor of the country, and tneir pa triotism will cab so louii.y upon tnem them that they will be compelled to yield, and answer the petition of the sufferers by granting their request. Thev do not ask the Legislature to give them one single cent—all they desire L that they may have the means placed in their hands so that they may be enabled to meet their demands at the present crisis, and at a proper time the amount will be re funded. Cau so reasonable a request be relused ? We hope not—for the honor oi our State we pray it may not. The matter is with them, and it is for them to say whether our citiz as shall be driven from tbeir homes— their farfnh* bro ht to poverty anl want, or for them to afford that aid which will cheer the desponding spirits oi the distressed | audgladdenthe hearts of tn 7 helpless aud forlorn. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. The Message came to hand too late tor publica tion iu this week’s paper, we will lay it before our leaders next week. It is a plain business paper, setting forth the actings and doings ot the F.xecu tive dariug the past year, accompanied with such explanations and recommendations as the public interest required. It will be seen by this document that Goverpo r Gji m er has not disappointed the confidence repos ed in hin as a vigilant public officer, but has dis charged his duty faithfully—promptly • His as it should be, has been open to the least intima tion of danger from the Indians lingering ou our borders, and has promptly met the emergency so that the lives and property of our people have been secured. His recommendations in regard to internal Im provements are such as they should be, aud wt! hope the Legislature will be liberal not only in maiing provision “for tlie entire completion ot theWesteru and Atlantic Rail Road, in giving to Rail Roads which are now progressing by iucor porited companies such assistance as may be de manded by the public interest,’ lor, to use the lan guage of the Message, “it we shall e\ei succeed to ti e extent of our wishes in enjoying the advan tages of direct inn ortations trom Europe ol the proceeds of the sales of agricultural productions exported thither, it must be by those facilities for transportation, bringing such an accession of capital to our cities asto enable the southern and southwestern and western merchants to se.l what they have to export, and obtain the supplies of European goods upon e< favorable terms in oui markets, as in New York, and by inducing the Northern manufactures to seek an exchange ot t'ticir fabrics in the same markets for our rice and raw cotton, and the flour a .and pork ot the \Y est. Our room will not allow us to say more-*—the Message will speak for itselt. The Van Buren Party throughout the United States, have raised such a terrible shout tor the triumph of their idol in the elections which have recently taken place in the different States, as to make the people believe they have taken every thing by storm. A “great victory’’ is proclaimed to have taken place in first one State and then in anoth* er, and matters seem to be going ou just as they would desire—every thing seems to be pros*- periug in their hands, and there appears to be no doubt with them but that they will come olfvicto rious throughout the United States. l>iit how stands the case? We perceive that their tri umphs are, as usual, all over the “wrong shoul der” for them, and instead of being in the major ity in the next Congress they will be most wri tell edly in the minority, unless the States in which elections are to be held do better for them than those where they have taken place. In the pit sent Congress the Van Jiuren party lias a Rep resentation from the States where elections have recently been held, ot 51, while the Anti-A <tns have a vote of 41, leaving a majority ot 10 for the Van Buren gentry, lu the next Congress they will have from the same States, 47, aud the Anti \ ans a vote of 45, thus reducing their majority down to two only. So much for the triumph of Van Burenism in the late elections. FROM MILLEDGEVILLE. From the Correspondence of the Columbus Enquirer.
