stitutionally seated in tlie chair, it is to be hoped our Legislature wilt take a deliberate survey of the present state of internal improvements, and , inquire what still remains to be done in order to augment our prosperity at home, and to establish our character abroad. Os Colleges and Academies as connected with the literary progress of a people, we say nothing in this place, as these points were considered with some degree of copiousness in our paper of No vember last. But notwithstanding all that may with propriety be urged, in favoflr of these institu tions of a superiour order, yet Common Schools are the fountains from which that information must flow, which is most important, in a govern ment like ours. It is neither necessary nor prac ticable for every man in the community to receive a classical education ; but it is of lasting conse quence, that the rising generation should be in structed in all the substantial and useful branches of learning. Hence the estimation in which com mon English Schools ought to be held. Their influence is not circumscribed to a few of a par ticular order or condition in life, but extends to both sexes, and affects almost every child who is hereafter to be a constitutional member of our great Republick. These seminaries of incipient education ought to sustain a reputable character. An idea more erroneous in its nature and more fa tal in its consequences, never found admission in to a rational mind, than that almost any thing will do for a teacher of an English School. This opinion has produced the worst practical ef fects. The great majority of children in theljate of Georgia have received the rudiments of educa tion from men totally unqualified for the business of instruction. After making every exception which charity dictates in favour of here and there a teacher of adequate qualifications, the remain der, comprising the great mass, would make better hewers of wood and drawers of water, than direc tors of youthful genius and morals. This busi ness, as important as the relations of time and the realities of eternity can make it, is in too many instances consigned to the hands of boys who hardly know the first principles of orthography— Who “ cannot teach and will not learn ;” to men of profligate manners; or to foreigners whose fortunes had become desperate in their own country, and who have come hither to spec ulate upon the ignorance and inexperience of our scattered population. A heavier curse i can hardly light upon a people, than to be visited by a race of teachers who are intellectual babes or moral monsters. We shall conclude our remarks upon this sub ject in our next paper. LITERATURE OF GEORGIA. Athens, Oct. 1, 1821. To the Senators Elect , for the ensuing Legisla ture of the State of Georgia. EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF THE SENATES ! ACADEMICUS OF 1818. Whereas it is important that the Senatus Aca- j demicus presiding over the interest of the Litera- ( ture of the State, should have minute and correct j information of the condition of Education in eve- j ry section thereof, ancf the clause of the Charter of the University, requiring, that a report from each County, containing that information, should j be laid before the board, at each annual Session, : having by long disuse become almost obsolete, i Resolved, that it be, and it is hereby, earnest- 1 ly recommended, that the Senators make at all future sessions of the Senatus Academicus, a re port of the state of Academies and Schools in their 1 several Counties.

News for Gambltrs. —Among the late present ments'of the Grand Jury of Putnam, we notice the names of three persons presented for gaming with cards, and one for “ keeping a common gam ing house,table or room in the town of Eatonton and what is equally necessary and important, the Jury “ earnestly request that there be no delay in the proper steps to be taken, in order to bring the offenders, embraced in their presentments, to jus tice.” Let this course be pursued throughout our State, and the statute against the destructive vice of gaming would soon become what it ought to be A TERROR TO EVIL DOERS. CAUSE OF CRIME. There has been of late much speculation in the papers on the subject of the alarming increase of crimes in our country ; and by some writers this increase has been imputed, in a great meas ure, to the mode of punishment now adapted in many of the states. The Penitentiary plan has been denounced as tending rather to multiply than prevent offences ; and instead of attempt ing to point out a remedy for the abuses which have arisen in the management and discipline of our State Prisons, these ‘writers have attacked the system itself 1 ; when if must be very evident that sufficient time has not elapsed since its introduc* (ion to allow a fair trial of its relative merits. It , is a mode of punishment, to perfect which, much judgment, observation and experience are requi site ; and for this rcasou it should not be discard ed until its advantages and disadvantages have been impartially considered ; and until a rational conviction of its inutility shall render a resort to the less humane, and less certain punishments of the old code absolutely necessary for the safety and moral good of the community. But when whiskey is as cheap as milk, and when a man can take a “ Lethean leave of reason,” and fit himself for the commission of every crime, for two or three cents, need we go any where but to grog shops to find a prominent cause of that depravity which is crowding our penitentiaries with con victs, and erecting a gallows in every court-yard ! Let any well-informed, observing and candid man, and to any other it would be useless to appeal, read the following remarks from the pen of the able and intelligent editor of the Baltimore Morn ing Chronicle, and then decide whether it requires any great sagacity to account for the alarming in crease of crime in the American Slat# ! The increase of crime in the United States, has beeu ascribed to the penitentiary mode of punish ment, than which nothing can be more false. It is a common error to ascribe effects to one cause which often result from a variety of causes. We question for example, when a man deliberately j purposes murder in his heart whether he was ever; restrained from its commission by the horrours of ; ajailorof a penitentiary? He knows that his j life will be put in*o jeopardy and that the proba bility of his evading criminal justice will he as one to a thousand. The same general remark will apply to all other criminal offences. A man who has seriously determined to rob his neighbour of property, regards a penitentiary as a matter of subordinate consideration. Make the criminal law as severe as .ve may, there will be, we will venture to say, nearly the same amount of crimes perpetrated, ceter is paribus, as if the punishments were comparatively light. No, the increase of crime results,we will venture to say, from far oth- I er causes. We have a vast amount of indolent ( poor, of foreign and of domestick origin, many unable to find employment, if they would labour, I and many who would not labour if they could get employment, some with families and some with out families, who must either eat or starve, for there is no alternative. There has, as we all know, been a decline in business. This state of apathy, which prevents our large capitalists from active exercise, deprives the honest poor of bread and fuel. They are perhaps debtors, who are unable to find employment, and their next re source is begging. Another cause of crime and one infinitely more productive than all the rest, is the extreme cheapness of whiskey. One of our western papers asserts, that such is the low prices of that article, that milk and whiskey may be obtained at the same price. A man who can at the expense of one or two cents, resort to a temporary oblivion of all his sorrows, will proba bly yield to that temptation. He has now be come a voluntary maniack—fit for the perpetra tion of any crime—he beholds his wife and chil dren in distress: a false courage, under the influ ence of that powerful spell, is generated in his heart—he robs his neighbour of his property, and the deed is now done—his character is lost and he shudders at the crime, when he returns to his senses. Unable to bear the stings and lacerations of his conscience, he flies again to the intoxica ting fluid—his family are ruined, and he himself is doomed at last to expiate his crime in the peni tentiary, or on the gibbets. It may be made a question, and a very serious question, whether all our charitable societies, formed for the dissemination of gospel truths, all our Sabbath schools ; all the unheard of and un paralleled exertions of the present age, to reform the condition of the poor botli for time and eter nity, can counterbalance the evils from this one cause of pauperism and of crime. And yet con gress have been requested to co-operate in such benevolent projects of reformation—they have been requested to impose a tax, to render it less difficult for our countrymen to become voluntari ly maniacks. They have been shewn that by such a coursfe of conduct they will replenish our exhausted treasury, while they aid the great work of political reformation —while they preserve the peace and quiet of families and confederate with the good and the just of all political parties and of all religious denominations—to prevent poverty, and crime, and disgrace, and the gibbet,they have been urged by all these powerful motives, and still they have refused—they choose rather to borrow mon°y and to plunge the nation in debt, rather than to impose a tax however trifling, upon j whiskey. General Intelligence. English dates to the 16th of August have been received by an arrival at N. York. RIOT IN LONDON. Avery lerious disturbance took place in Lon don on the removal of the remains of the Queen, which seems to have eventuated in a very differ ent manner from previous political tumults in that metropolis ; the mob having succeeded in accom plishing their purposes in defiance of the govern ment. and the bayonets of the military. It ap pears from the long and minute accounts which are given of the transaction, that the ministry re solved upon removing the Queen’s body within the period specified by herself, viz. three days. Against this procedure her friends urged, that it was the first time Ministers had shewn a disposition to comply with the Queen’s wishes, and insisted that suitable preparations could not be made in the allotted space. But the great objections with the multitude appear to have been, the employ ment of a military guard, and the determination of the government that the procession should not ’ pass through the city. On the appointed day an immense assemblage of people collected in front of Brandenburgh-house ; and when the undertak er appeared w'ith authority to remove the body, i Dr. Lushington, one of the Queen’s executors, commanded him to touch it at his peril, stating that the government had no right to interfere with his duty as an executor of ht:r majesty’s will— that her body was under his care, aud should not be removed until preparations suitable to the rank of the deceased were made. The undertaker re plied, that his orders were imperative, and he should do his duty. Dr. L. then said, he would > neither use nor recommend violence, and would 1 join the procession, not as an executor, but as a private individual. The most unbounded grief is I said to have been manifested by many of the ! spectators, of all ranks, particularly the females, | who remained uncovered during a heavy rain, until the-coffin was placed upon the hearse, aud the procession moved off. The exact route de signated by the government was unknown to the I ’ multitude far some time, aid crowds of people ‘ were seen flocking from one point to another, I evincing the greatest indignition. When it was discovered that the procesiion would not pass through the city, impedimetJs of every descrip tion were thrown in its way in various places, aftd finally a mass of carriages, wagons, &c. extending quite across the street, and presenting a depth of 100 yards, completely impeded its course. The guaids were insulted, stones and mud thrown at them, and every possible indignity offered, until a magistrate directed them to fire upon the mob, when 40 or 50 carbine and pistol shots were dis-. charged, by which 3or 4 are said to have been killed, and 10 or 12 wounded. The crowd was in some measure dispersed, but rallied again at other points, and finally obliged the procession to pass through the town—the cry of “ victory !” “no red-coats ! no butchers !” resounding from (he triumphant multitude. The military are said to have behaved with much coolness and modera tion, and seemed anxious to avoid any collision with the unarmed but enraged and insulting pop ulace. It was 5 o’clock in the afternoon before, the procession passed the boundaries of the city i The windows and doors of many houses were clos- i ed while it was passing, and the house of the fa- j mous Mr. Cobbett was entirely covered with | black cloth ! The hearse was drawn by eight black ! ‘horses, decorated with black feathers. It is a - circumstance that Capt. Doyle, of the Glasgow frigate, which carries the Queen's re mains to Brunswick, is the same officer who assis ted her on board the vessel when she embarked for England to be married, in 1795. The King was at H.ollyhead,on board bis yacht, when he received the news of the Queen’s death. After reading the despatch he retired, and was seen no more through the day. He gave orders for the vessels in attendance to lower their col ours half mast. At the last dates he was in Dub- ! tin, and it will be seen by the article below, that \ ‘• his majesty is in a fair way to dissipate the grief of his late bereavement in listening to the “ hearty welcomes” of his Irish subjects, and drinking : their hra ! ths,“ five fathoms deep” in “ good Irish whiskey punch FROM THE NEW-YORK SPECTATOR. THE KING'S VISIT TO IRELAND. The King had landed in Ireland, and was re ceived with a hearty welcome. All ranks and classes, at his landing, pressed forward to see him, crying, “The King! God save, God bless the King !” His Majesty, when he landed, was dressed in a close, lung blue coat, blue trousers and half boots, black silk handkerchief round his neck, a seal-skin travelling cap, with a broad gold band, and white silk gloves. When the crowd were pressing round him, he shook hands and talked with them indiscriminately. He proceed ed to Dublin without a body gitard, amidst an immense concourse of people, and without a sin gle policeman on duty. The cavalcade having attended his Majesty to the Park, in Dublin, when about separating from them, he addressed •he people as follows : - “ My Lords and Gentlemen, and my good Yeo manry—l cannot express to you the gratification I feel at the warm and kind reception I have met with on this day of my landing among my Irish subjects. lam obliged to you all. lam particu larly obliged by your escorting me to my very door. “ 1 may not be able to express my feelings as I wish. I have travelled far. I have made a long sea voyage—besides which, particular circum stances have occurred, known to you all—of which it is better at present not to speak. Upon those subjects l leave it to delicate and generous ■ hearts to appreciate my feelings. “ This is one of the happiest days of my life. I have long wished to visit you—my heart has al ways been Irish. From the day it first beat I have loved Ireland. This day has shown me that lam beloved by my Irish subjects. Rank, sta tion, honours are nothing ; but to feel that I live in the hearts of my Irish subjects, is, to me. the most exulted happiness. “ I must now once more thank you for yonr kindness, and bid you farewell. Go and do by me as 1 shall do by you—drink my health in a bumper; I shall drink all your’s in a bumper of good Irish whiskey punch.” The Dublin Advertiser states, that as the Mar quis of Londonderry (Lord Castlereagh) was pre -1 paring to enter his carriage, a gentleman, Mr. B. Norwood, of Townshend street, stepped from the crowd, and addressing his lordship, said, “ My i Lord, you have been well received today, after an absence of upwards of twenty years, from the capital of your native country, and we have one favour to ask of you.” “ Ask it,” said his lord ship. “ A repeal of the Window Tax,” replied Mr. Norwood. His lordship laying his hand upon his heart, said emphatically, “ On my honour, if it is in iny power, it shall be granted.” This de claration was received with reiterated shouts of applause. • GREEK INSURRECTION. We have but little additional information from Greece, Turkey, or Russia. The latest account from the capital of the latter, is, that a reconcili- • ation would take place between the Emperour and the Porte. But we can hardly think this possible. While every thing is thus in doubt as to the course Russia will pursue, the news by every arrival in this country is calculated to ex- j cite deeper and deeper feelings of horronr and i execration at the savage ferocity that has uniform ly marked the conduct of the Turks. Can the European Sovereigns stand the quiet spectators of the remorseless barbarities of these inhuman monsters ? j Couriers are constantly arriving and departing, j at the several Courts, with despatches, as it is be ] lieved, in relation to the affairs of Turkey. Eng land is supposed again to have offered her media } tion. Austria appears to be more closely uniting i with Russia. i No change appears to have taken place in the price of cotton, though the article was dull, and j some of the heavy holders were rather inclined ito press sales.

From the borders of the Danube, frontiers of Servia, July 7.—We have just learned that the ill-fated town of Smyrna has been the theatre of new disorders. It is asserted that the Mussul mans (furious at the concessions made to the For eign Consuls by the punishment of the authors of | the late excesses) get fire to the quarters of the ; town inhabited by the Christians, and that three parts of Smyrna fell a prey to the conflagration. Very few Europeans, it is affirmed, have escaped, | and the English Consul is cited as being amongst | the number of the victims. We anxiously look for further details from thence.— Cour. Erancais. Cronstadt (Transylvania) July 15.—A great calamity, which, after a thousand other disasters, has overtaken Bucharest, has given me the time to escape.from that wretched town. This calam ity was a terrible earthquake, accompanied by onednhe most violent hurricanes known in the 1 71 recollection of the people of this country; aboot 1400 houses have been thrown down; a great number of inhabitants have been crushed under the ruins. A storm of hail, large as nuts, which ensued, destroyed a part of the trees which the hurricane had left, as well as a few countrymen, who were in the open fields, and almost all the harvest. The Turkish soldiery, seized with su perstitious terror,cried out, “The infidel Ypsilan ti, whom we seek on earth, has ascended to the sky, to fight us from thence.” The plains of Wallachia, which 1 have passed, from Bucharest to the frontiers, once so fine and now pre sent nothing but the aspect of desolation. The corpses, which cover them every where, infect , the atmosphere; nothing is heard but the melan choly howlings, with which dogs wandering, after having lost their masters, fill the forests and the country. Neither houses, nor towns, nor villages are to be seen. The barharians, to vent their rage, have even destroyed the fruit trees. More than 20,000 souls have been dragged into slavery beyond the Danube. The men, and such women as were advanced in life, have been massacred 1 without pity, and life is only spared to the young women destined to the Harem, and to children to ibe educated in tbe Mabomedan religion. Con vents and churches are every where razed. In a I Monastery.of virgins, the elder were put to the sword, and the younger ones carried away into ; slavery. The Wallachian troops, who have so basely betrayed the interest of their country in j battle, as well as their Greek comrades in arms, j see their errour too late, and rally with the Greeks I round Jordaki, a Greek of Thessaly, and former |ly the chief of the militia of that country. De | spair has revived their courage, and they have ! gained several partial victories over the Turks, whom they have repuled at several points, after having killed more than 4000. The population of European Turkey is estima ted at five millions two hundred and eighty-eight thousand Greeks, and one million five hundred and ninety two thousand Turks. The French papers give the particulars of the naval victory obtained by the Greeks over a Turk” ish squadron at the Dardanelles, consisting of one j vessel of three decks, 3of two decks, 3 frigates, 1 6 brigs, and 2 corvettes; the Greek fleet consisting iof 35 sail of smaller vessels. Most of the Turkish 1 j ships were carried by boarding, except the three | decker, which was destroyed by a fire-ship. Tbe : contest was carried on with the greatest fury, and the carnage on both sides immense. The Greek.- are said to have fought with a valour worthy of the best days of Greece. Several vessels sent by the Barbary States to the aid of the Grand Seiguor, have been captured by the Greeks. The Ex-Empress Maria Louisa, (now Dutchess of Parma) directed her court to appear in mourn ing until the 24th October, and a funeral service to be performed in her chapel, when the news of her husband’s decease was officially received from St. Helena. A large packet addressed in the hand writing of Bonaparte to the emperour of Austria, has been forwarded to Vienna. Bonaparte hat left the bulk of his property to his nearest relatives. The military establishment of Great Britain is to be reduced from 80,000 to 66,000 man. At the late sales of fractional lots, in the counties of Walton, Gv innett, Hall, Habersham and Ra bun, held at Jefferson, in Jackson county, 688 lots were put up, of which about 240 were sold. The total amount of sales is $64,561, of which $21,933, i was paid in cash. Geo. Journal.

Dele j gate to the Convention from the County'of Ulster, when apparently in perfect health, fell down in . the Capitol, at Albany, and expired instantly. He had the moment before purchased a ticket for j 1 admission to Peale’s celebrated Picture of the 1 | COURT OF DEATH, now exhibiting in the Sen- ’ ate Chamber ; and while he was crossing the threshold of the door leading to the picture, he was instantly summoned from the representation to the awful reality. It has several times been intimated, in the American papers, that the British Government 1 poisoned Napoleon; and the same intimation is | made in relation to the death of the Queen. 1 Upon this subject we will use the language of the . Charleston Courier. “To arrive at such a con clusion, so readily, savours much of a distemper ed imagination, or’ a malignant spirit. Why, without a shadow of evidence, in opposition to statements publickly certified by respectable in dividuals, why attribute wanton and gratuitous murder to the government of a civilized nation ? Why calumniate the age in which we live ? Why throw out surmises of guilt and of crime, with no better basis than black suspicion, and relentless enmity ? The grave of a brave man, or of an un- fortunate female, is the last place on earth to sow the seeds of slander.” JV. Y. Spectator. Caution to Parents. The Connecticut Courant, gives'the distressing particulars of a child being burnt to death by its : clothes faking fire.

We have not heard the particulars, > nor the name of but on* of the parties. One of them was killed. JV. Y. Sped. ANOTHER. Saratoga, Aug. 23.—A duel was fought th'l . day, in this place, by two gentlemen, who are 1 ; passing some time, in a fashionable manner, at the Springs. It was said, that the quarrel arose I from slight neglect of etiquette. The transac tion was calculated to give a dark picture of hu man nature. It was between -Coffee and Sambo, two black dandies from the South. There was a short correspondence, from which we extract the following remarks: Cuffee said, he honour ben suited in de manner, which compel him for de sake of he own character, to deman de proper explanashun, or de satisfiaeshun of a gemman. Sambo, with the true spirit of the times, said, a furder correspondence could be of quineequance, in coming from de point, for he should no distract any sing he said or done, for dat is not de way of Massa —but he said he much l adder have a chally, dan a core upon, in dis style. With these feel ings, an amicable settlement could hardly be. ex pected, and in fact, was not brought about by tbe interposition of their friends.— And these <7 ham* t pions of honour went one half mile from the vil lage, and fired at each others ivory two or fi-ree 1 times—but neither was so fortunate ai to Tall in* the field—for the seconds had the precaution to load the pistols with dough, which is admirably calculated to heal wounded honour, black or white.
