4. Resolved, That the lessons of experience
has taught us the utter inexpediency of permitting
rhe public funds to be controlled by the local in
stitutions ; tint the system of depositing in them
cither upon general or spec-.a! deposite, is iu either
the same, uud contrary to sound policy, as well on
account of the and favoriteism in grant
ing the u«e the government money to these
• corporations, as from the political influence which
t'Jfcfc and necessarily have over all connec
tißwith them, and to prevent a recurrence of
these effects and other great evils it is indispensi
tde that an entire disconnection or total divorce of
the Government from all Banks should be the es

people.
5. Resolved, That the principles of the inde

strict conformity with the requisitions of the Con

And vet after all, Toby was not a defaulter un

he wrote in the newspapers against General Jack

however, and would not have enabled him to take

A letter from G,t»n Rusk, dated San Augus
tine, October 23<i, 18"-' r ' Ire red to Mr. Parker,
gives a detail of a >.\nt eru: with the
Indians, near Port Houston. We subjoin the
followintr extract:
“On the 14th, I arrived at Fort Houston, hav
ing been joined by Major Mabbitt and several men
having fallen iuen the way and at Fort Houston,
my force amounted to about two hundred men.
I immediately took up the line of inarch for the
enemy’s camp, by the way of the Abudacha vil
lage ; and nhout sundown on the loth, arrived at
the Kiel,apoo town, t hero encamped for the
night. A.botrt Id o'clock (he enemy attempted to
tiro the, woods around us, bnt failed. During the
night, two of tlieir spies were fired upon by the
sentinel*, and one horse taken from them; and at
break of day tbe next morning (the Kith.) a spir
ited attack was made upon three sides of our camp
The enemy’s cavalry were stationed on a hill, out
of gun shot, evidently with intention to fall upon
us, if we attempted to retreat.
Avery brisk tire was kept up oa both sides for
about fifteen minutes, when 1 ordered a portion
of the force to remain and protect the camp, aud
with the remainder charged the enemy, who pre
cipitately fled, leaving eleven dead on the ground .
They had, I have no doubt, during the action,
carried off a number of their dead, (which is their
custom.) and all their wounded. From the blood
upon the ground, they must have suffered severe
ly. The charge was continued for about three
quarters of a mile, w hen I formed the force, and
marched them back to camp. The force of
the enemy 1 had uo msansof ascertaining, but
it must have been very considerable, as the
ground occupied by them was nearhalf a mile
in length.
We had eleven men severely wounded, none
killed, aud about twenty-five or thirty horses so
badly shot as to be uufit for use. Among the en
emy’s dead were found Caddos, Cooshatties, B >l
- Cherokee, ami two Mexicans. They
dropped on their flight guns, blankets, cloaks, Arc.
It would be difficult to find language to do justice
to the officers and men; all fought with a spirit
and determination seldom equalled. The officer*
in the action were Adj. Gen. McLeod; Maj.

THE LEGISLATURE.
We have extracted a portion ofthe
proceedings ofthe Legislature in our
paper today, which we have thought
would he the most interesting to our
readers—many hills of minor con
sideration have been brought before
that body in which our patrons or
the public have little or no interest,
we have therefore, excluded them
from our columns.
In regard to the petition ofthe suf
ferers by the depredations of the
Creek Indians, the Southern Recor
der of the 27th ult. says: “The hill
\ to extend relief to the sufferers by the
depredations of the Indians on the
borders of our State, fir*ally passed
the House on Saturday last hy about
30 majority. The hill grants a loan
through the Central Rank of 8120,-

the term of five years, (or less, if the
claims of the sufferers shall be settled
by tfje Government at an earlier pe
riod,) at 6 per cent interest on notes
in the usual form, with good security.”
Since the publication ofthe Re
corder, wc learn, with regret, that
the Hill has been reconsidered, which
renders its final passage extremely

REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL CON
VENTION.
The Commercial Convention recently held in
Milledgeville, hassent out a Report w hich should
be read with deep attention by every Georgian who
feels any interest in the prosperity of his State.—
The committee have ably demonstrated the favor
able position we occupy for enlarging our foreign
commerce, securing a great portion of the trade
from the Western and South Western States, and
building up a commercial emporium on our own
Atlantic coast, amply sufficient for all our wants.
But this cannot he accomplished without em
ploying the necessary means; the State must
stretch out her arms by her Rail Roads, and draw
herself closer to the West; a liberal policy must
be pursued to enable her to execute Her works of
Internal Improvements with the least possible de
lay ; and facilities must be afforded the merchant
for an enlarged operation, or all will be lost. The
day has arrived fpr prompt an i vigorous action—if
we slumber over our interest now, we shall be
come the spdrt ot old Winkle, himse'lf.
THE GEORGIA MIRROR.
We are aware there arc some people, the obtu- 1
sity of whose intellect precludes couviction, —this
is their misfortune; out there are others whose ob
stinacy will hear no argument—yield to no convic
tion—and every measure winch requires capital to
carry it into effect, meetswith a stern and unbend
ing opposition;—others have gotteu on a political
hobby about Banks, and because they have their
feelings up against a National Bank, have become
ultras aud go against all Banks.
These kind of folks may be found every where,
but we look to the good sense and intelligence of
both political parties in the Legislatuie, for the a
doptiou of such a policy, as, in their wisdom, shall
secure to us that commercial prosperity and im
portance which our position so jus’ly warrants.
Why should we, any longer, be hewers of wood
and drawers of water for the North ? Our means,
are ample aud abundant, our merchants intelli
gent aud enterprising; only let the requisite fa
cilities be afforded and southern commerce will
flourish—the trade of the West will be poured in
to our cities on the Atlantic—every breeze that
blows will waft foreign shipping to our ports, and
we shall begin to feel aud act like men, the vassal
age that cramped our energies and wasted our
substance will be broken, and we shall be free.
The Report of the Convention shall appear iu
our next.
TIIE NEXT GOVERNOR.
We see it hinted in one of ohc exchange pa
pers that it is the design of Governor Gilmer to
retire into the shade* of private life after the ex
piration of the present term for which he h is been
eh Ted. If this be true, it is highly necessary the
State Rights party sho'uid begin to look around
them in ordet to see who they shall bring forward
a> a candidate for that high and responsible office.
In making a selection great precaution should be
used ~o that a man may be selected who, it elect
ed, would discharge th ' duties of the office with
ability and firmness, aud who, by his services and
talents would be the most likely to secure success
to tiie party. There is little doubt but the Van Bu
ren party will put up their crack uag, and use ev
ery exertion to secure bis election. Among those
spoken of, we see the names of Glascock, (who
we uoubt not, is anxious for a nomination,) McAl
lister. McDonald and Towns—in fact, these are
about all we see mentioned, and out of these four
we judge a selection will be made. As yet, we 6ee
nothing said by the State Rights party one way or
the other on the subject, and we begiu to think it
time the pulse of the people was felt on the mat
ter. As for ourselves we shall not be backward iu
making known our choice; this course, by some,
may be deemed presuraptious on our part, yet we
do not hue the plan of waiting until someone
shall dictate before we utter a syllable, neither are
we disposed to imitate the example of some of our
fawning opponents in matters of this kind—but
whatever course we conceive to be for the good of
the country, that course we intend to pursue, re
gardless of consequences—for we have always
considered a press, without independence, a dead
weight to the liberties of the country.
With this brief explanation of our course and
motives, we do not hesitate to announce as our
choice for the next Governor,
Col. Hnirj G. Lamar, of Hibh.
In making him knowu as the man of our choice
we do not intend, by so doing, to d’sparage Mr
Gilmer’s claims, in the least, even should he be
willing to become a candidate again; he has nobly
sustained the station whk*4t lie fills with honor to
himself ariß benefit to the State, and to his course
no one disposed to be impartial, can find any just
cause of complaint. But Mr. Gilmer has been al
ready twice elected Governor of the State, and
wc think it no more than right and just that lie
should give way to someone who has claims upon
the party and country, fully as good as those he
may set up. With this view of the subject, we
would respectfully s”2gest Col. Lamar as the next
candidate—knowing that in him the welfaie ofthe
State will be advanced her interest greatly pro
moted.
GOOD-BYE MARTIN.
From the recent elections which have taken
place, wc should judge poor Matty’s days were
numbered and his political prospects forever bligh
ted. The people have arisen in their majesty,
and announced through the ballot box that such a
President “is unfit to be the ruler ot' a free peo
ple,”—and their fiat must be obeyed.
Nctv York the empire State, and the State of
Van Boren’s na! Vity ant * residence, has routed
'•-» and dragoo2.” Seward, the
his party “horse iu,.. ’ - been e!.“' te^
Whig candidate for GoVcfPor, n«» _
by 11,000 votes majority over Marcy, the presem
incumbent, and there has been considerable acces
sion ol Whigs to the Representation in Congress,
as also a majority on joint ballot in the State Le
gislature in their favor ; and, in fact, everything
indicates a rapid decline in the Van Buren, Fanny
vv right and Loco Foco party.
How galling, indeed, must it be to the feelings
of poor Matty, to find his course so geffbrdly ( jj s .
approved of and denounced by the freemen of the
Republic: and still more galling must the reflec
tion be that he cannot be sustained unless lie has
the skirts ol a Jackson upon which to cling. But
so it is, and will ever be, iu a country like this,
where liberty is a matter paramount to tvery con
sideration. The people may be deluded and de
ceived for awhile—they tnav be led astriy and in
to error, but the delusion will be of but short du
ration. and when the change does com*, wo be to
him who has taken advantage es that delusion to
rear himself upon a pinnacle on which he has not
firmness to sit,—his friends may then as well bid
him a long farewell.
Wc were apprehensive, when the little Prince
was first elevated to the seat which he uow so fee
biy fills, (taking into consideration the means by
which he mounted the ladder of eminence,) that
the time would be hut short before he would find
jliat the peonle were too honest arid discreet to be
long blinded to their better interest, and he would
hear a voice emanating from them which would
make the domes of the white house resound with
the defeats of his party through every section of
the country, denouncing in unqualified terivs their
disapprobation of his mismanagement and corrup
tion.—So has it beeu, and we would not be the
least astonished were some oue of Mr. Van Bti
ren’s friends to suggest before long, the propriety
of his giving way to some move available candi
date for the next Presidency—yea, we would not
be the leist surprised were the whole party to see
the utter hopelessness of his case, and drag him
down to make room lor some oue else upou whom
the affections of the people might be more appro
priately set.—So farewell Matty.
HORRIBLE DEATH.
On Saturday week, an adjourned inquest was
held at the Champion, Princes street, Lissou
Grove, on the body of John M’Lellan, whose
death oceured under the following circumstances :
The jury first preceded to view the body of the
unfortunate man, which presented a spectacle
too horrible to describe, the face btiug one mass
of sores from top to toe. From the depositions,
it appeared that the deceased was the driver of a
cab and horse, the property of Mr. W. Johnson,
a cab owner, at the west end of the town. On
the evening of Friday week, deceased came home,
and complained of having a cold. He took sonic
gruel, and went to bed. On the following day,
large lumps or swellings begau to make their ap
pearance under the jaw and oa the nose, which,
as well as the eyes, emitted a great uo£n Ot’ running.
’Hie eyes gradually become worse, and full of
holes, and the nose and jaw broke out into dread
ful sores. Medical aid was called in, but the gen
tleman attended was unable to tell the nature of
the disease.
On Wednesday week deceased was conveyed
iu a cab to Sir A»tley Cooper, who examined him
and pronounced it to be the glanders caught from
a horse. Tbe deceased's medical attendant sub
sequently fell in with his opinion; but all reme
dies were found of uo avail. The unfortunate
man gradu liy became worse aud entirely insen
sible. Iu the space of two days liis nose fell from
his face, aud his eyes became like a colauder,
both emitting a thick muenous railing. lie how
ever, about a quarter of ail hour before his death,
which took place on Thursday cveuiug, rucover
cd his senses, aud stated that he had got his death
by wiping the horse which was glandered with
his pocket handkerchief, and then incautiously u
smg the same to wipe his nose. He expired in
tiie most excruciating agony. The jury return
ed a verdict “that the deceased died from glan
ders, accidentally caught from a horse, of which
he was the driver.”
A gentleman of the profession, now no more, of
the Western Circuit, defended a client for ho.
stealing, but notwithstanding his efforts convic
tion was had. The Act of Assembly iu descri
bing this offence, says-—“lt any person shall be
indicted and found guilty of stealing auy sheep
goats or hogs, he, she or they shall be subjected
to a fine or penalty of five pounds sterling for each
and every sheep goat or hog, for stealing of which
he she or they may be couvieted as aforesaid.”—
The next section imposes whipping iu detault of
payment ofthe fine
Upon the trial it came out in evidence, that the
hop stolen was a pis/. Among the other grounds,
in arrest of judgment, and for a«new trial, was one
which went to the merits ofthecase, viz : “That
the defendant was found guilty of stealing a hog,
when the evidence only established that he stole a
pig, which was no offence under the statute.
Judge Nott, who was the presiding Justice, as
ked the learned advocate if he intended to press
that ground ?
Advocate. Certainly. What would your honor
call a young sheep ?
Judge Nott. A lamb.

Advocate, i tni.l!. v »ur honor will now see that
I have a most ample and irrcsiJ?*^ 0 . detcnce, and
in the course of my argument, I will iff a fii o Killy
to satisfy the Court on the point. r I he learned
geutlemau proceeded in the ease.
Argumknt
May it please your honors. My unfortunate
client has been convicted of hog stealing against
the most positive testimony. All the witnesses
for the prosecution declared the animal taken to
he a pig.—(Laughter.) Now, I would ask it a
pin can grunt ! No ; then he can he no hog.—
When a man says he will go the whole hog, bristles
and all , he cannot mean a pig, for a pit* has PQ
bristlss, and is but the minim of a hog. (Latwh*
i ter.) If your honor was to send your servant to
1 marker 10 buy a pig and he brought you home a
300 lb?., I apprehend you would
iTog '" Vin z oi »y*f y° ar
not consider him as a jrinn " ,- on

he will be a man, but until then, he is an infant hi 1
law and in fact. When a pig can grunt he is a hog,
and rot till then. (Laughter.) I shall urge the
point no further.
