in preseiKing to the pu < i !i:s i’ros
peetus for u new paper at (Jolun»i)Ua, the
subscriber does not u'eeni it uecussaiy or
expedient to «o into a minute detail of bis
political doctrines, or of Ins paiticuSar
views in regard to the various topics which
now engage public attention, lie pre
smites that his character as an odiior is too
well known in Georgia to allow him to
gain credit among any party, with uiert*
piofcssions and empty promises. The
public will be apt to look to tiie past in tor
mitig their estimate of the Inline, aud by
that ordeal is ho willing to bo Hied, In
iho numerous political discussions, which
tlio events of the and iy have called lorth, Ins
opinions of men and tilings have been fine
ly expressed, and me doubthss familiar
to many of those to whom he now looks lor
patronage and support. Those who have
hitherto approved of Ins sentiments aud
been satisfied witli tiie u.aimer in which he
Ins urged them, will, ho tiusts, still con
tinue iheir confidence, without the renew
at of oledges, or a l'oimai confession of
faith. ‘
In reference however to the present
state of pirtits, lie begs leave to remark,
that he (rusts the absence of all political
excitement, will prove propitious to the
cause of truth; and that now all parties, by
whatever names they may have been dis
tinguished, will be permitted to labor for
the general welfare, unobstructed by the j
joal usy, or the rancor of by-gone feuds.
Tiie undersigned wdl endeavor 10 extend 1
still fuither this cordiality of feeling, and to
allay the occasional .symptoms ot ex cerb
ation to which a warmly conies'cd election
may give ris»; and in this, aud whatever
else he may undertake for the purpose of
advancing the prospiiity < f the state, ho
v ill count on the cordial co-operation of,
every good citizen, however they may
have previously difictetl on points of polit
ical faith.
Attached to the doctrines of the Revolu
tion, and holding in high veneration ihe j
memory of those heioes mid sages by j
whom our liberties wore at he ved, anu our
present admirable form o( govern,] out es
tablished, the subscriber will ri, i; .vor to j
ui an if- st the sincerity of his profissions, by j
exciting a feeling of attachment to ihe :
Union, and encouraging an entire cuiifi
deuce in the institutions of our country.
Ho will inculcate the duelling that it is
better to bear a slight and temporary evil,
against which wo have a Constitutional
remedy, than to hazard all for which our
fathers fought aud so many martyrs labor
ed and bled. Ho will not in any respect,
overlook or disregard (ho rights or the in
terests of his own staii ; yet he must always
view particular rights and interests, as re
latively connected with others, and be will
never consent to tbe sacrifice of a greater
for n lesser good.
The subscriber will endetWor to make
The. Democrat .» vehicle of general intelli
gence, and an interesting pi r o heal to the
gentleman of literature, the agriculturalist
the merchant and the mechanic.

GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE CONCLUDED.
The system however, i> rec.nniiiomled to your
-pecial consideration, as the beat which rai, l. L ,
adopted m the present.-ituation of the state. Ex- i
pen-ire canals, turnpikes and rail roads, can be;
succe -telly made r.nlr in countries whose pro- j
dilutions are great in .(nudity, heavy and' far r. - !
moved from their markets. Cotton’imy be con
sidered the side staple of the interior ai.d uppci I
part of this state—lts value is so great, in atop or- i
j Iron to its weight, a.id the oust of its conveyaiice
I ® v on from those parts of the state most remote
j tr-uu it. market, so small, that no suriieieut induce
i ine,lt e *' s V h>r the expend. ture . f large sums for
- adding to the lacilility of its transportation The
principal levers pass so far in the interior, and se
equi distant from each other, ll at but a small
proportion of the produce of the sttte can be made
to pass over any one road or cam!. Ilu so cir
cumstances, which thus render it inexpedient to
make any expensive internal inpro«*oiiJents, in
stead of being a source of complaint, only prove*
tiie groat superiority if our staph commodity over
most others. One of the advantages of the pre
sent system is. that it may be unde to nccourmo
uate it sell precisely to the wan’s of every put of
the country by bavin • labor applied in proportion
to (lie uso vvhii-h is made of each road, ft may bo
made to supersede llio old system entirely, if tlio
public revenues of tiie Statu to bo derived from
its gold mines should equal what is anticipated
from llioir reported lichncss. Butlitlic doubts is
entertained fthe propriety of so -xtcudin i- tiie
employment of the public hands. It present all
persons in tiie state, between the aje ot sixteen
and forty five, are liable to work fiteen days i:t
tho year on the roads One striking disadvant
age of this road tax, (for so it ought to lie consid
ered) is its inequality. A large proportion oi* liie
people do not work at all, whilst tiie hour requir
ed of others is exceeding!buidensoniU. It is not
only unequal in the quantity of labor which the
laborers are mado to perform in different (arts
ot tiie country, but m its operation upon tho dif
ferent ciasse.-s r f the people It is in ilie nature of
a poll tax, by which th poor mail is mute to pay
as much as the rich. The labor too which is ap
plied iti improving iiso roads under the old s.stem,
is always inexperienced mid not equal in efficien
cy to one half the quantity if judiciously dime
led.
ll' tiie funds of the state should not prove suffi
cient to utliorisc the extension of thejiresent sys
tern, so as to abandon entirely tiie old, tho same
object may be in some degree effected by permit
ting laborers at their option, to commute lie 1 ibor
required of them, fur a moderate sum of money,
to lie paid into tlio county treasury, to be applied
| to tho samo object.
I subnut to you a copy of a corrc- ponieice had
with several liigldy intelligent gentlemen, tiie
object of which has been to ascoitam the quantity
of cotton and ether produce carried by wagons
j over the different roads leading to Augustn"Su
| vatinah, Millcdgeville, Macon, and Oolutubu.--, arid
! the cost of its transportation. It is Leliewd that
the information thus collected, will be highly use
ful in enabling the Legislature to have tiie inter
nal communications of the state, improved in the
best particula manner anil so as to be productive
of the most beneficial results.
Copies of tiie quarterly reports of the Superin
tendent*, and also tho amount of their individual
expenses are submitted to you. I have received
from tiie superintendent of the Et tern Divisii n.
an accurate map and -=urvey ct'ihe Savammli river
between the cities if Augu. ta, and savannah, it
accompanies Ibis communication
In pursuance of a resolution of the Legislator!.
agents have been appointed to settle with tii
different river coinmisioners. Eettlomonls have
been effected with the eoinudi:--mnei« tiie Os
niulgee river, uh .ve and tn low Macon, and wi ll
tiie commissioners of tlio Ccnnoo and .Savannah
rivers, as w ill appear by rep< l ls of the agoms
An examination of these reports, vvii! prove what
universal experience hail previously est lblisiitd,
that tho most wastful and inefficient of all nielli
ods of executing public winks, is by tke employ .
meut of irresponsible amt unjiaid agents. Yu are
requested to direct the manner m which tlio agents
fur settling with tiie river conmiissioiiors are to
be.pkid. Dicir services have been such as uc
f itrve to be cry- liberally compensated You art
also requested to direct whether the agent for set
tling witli tiie Oconee commissioners, shall also |
set-i* with the fonner commissioners nt tlio Oco
nee river, whose accounts remain unadjusted.
The Arsenal at Savannah lias been completed, j
and the puolic arms in that city , hitherto much i
injured from exposure, Imve been th posited in it
Reports have Ueen received f om U.e keepers of
the Arsenals in Savannah and Miiledgeviile, con-
tainiug schedules ofail 111 arms and munitions of
war committed to their charge, copies of which
are laid before you, according to resolutions pas
sed at the last session of the i.cgisiature.
One hundred and sixty-three copies of a system
of exercise and instruction of field artillery, inclu
ding manoevers for lignt and hone artillery, and
nineteen hundred an I eighty of an abstract (>1
infantry tactics, have beeu received from tlio U
States government, ami for tiie distribution of
which it will be necessary ibr you to picsciit'-o
so iwv regulation.
Tho reports of tiro Brigado In-pectors, which
have been received shew tho aggregate number
of tire militia of tiie stale to be 3ti,3ff9, exclusive
of Hie seventh division —As tho distribution of
the public arms, under tire law of tire U Stales,
for arming and equiping tiie militia, is made u
arnong tho stales according o tire relative
strength of their militia, it lias been a matter of
some interest to obtain accurufe returns of tlio
force of the State. Although Romo increase will
be shew n w en full returns sliuil have been re
ceived, yet tlie.disorg iiinalion is such as to ren
der i’ impossible to ascertain the entire Mrenglh
of t he militia of tiro state. ,
Various resolutions pa-«ed by the legislatures
oi Pennsylvania, Ohio, Vermont, Delaware and
Connecticut, upon tiie subject* of tho tariff', inter
nal improvement, and election ot electors oi Pre
sident and Vico President, have been received
from the Chief Magistrates of those states, copies
of which are, according to request, submitted to
you.
Resolutions passed bv the l.egi Jature of Loui
sian i have been received, in which i express and the
! opinion that the tariff'of 18, is not only consli
tutiona! aud oxped.cnt, but harmless to the South
ern states —copies i.f these are also submitted to
you, but not w itli ur calling your attention to thu
striking illustration which they litrt i h of the sel
fishness which occr.si nod ami < ontiimes in orco
tiie present tariff system. Within the few last
years sugar i-ano 1.-as become the principal produc
tion of Louisiana. Ofail tii" applications ■ f labor,

It is perhaps tiie must singular result of our pe
culiar tar.n n; Government, that our freo institu
tions -iioidti have been so often preserved from
violation !,v- the reurieunta!ives of ilio people,
t nrotigh the r-*spo:i i liity :.:ni patriotism of our
elective Magistrates.
tiie resoluti in of the Legislature directing the
appropriation of five hundred dollars fur furnish
ing and repairing the G ivern iie t Mouse, was,
in part, executed, acihre it was discovered tint
that stun bail not been ins -rted in tiie act of ap
propriation. 1 lie Government House required
.some repairs to render it inhabitable—they were
made and paid far nut of tiro contingent fund. No
warrant can be drawn to pay for the articles of
furniture which hive been purchased, until au
thority is granted bv law.
4 on are referred to tlio quarterly reports of the
Inspectors fur an account of the profits and ex
penses of the I‘enitontiary, durinr the three fir.-t
qua; ters of the present year. Tlio sum of SSOOO
appropriated fir creeling 150 cells and other ini
pru-veuieU, in the buildings, lias not been expen
ded by the inspectors, for reasons which are sta
led fully ii their reports. It is to be regretted
that any cause should have produced this effect.—
Experience hag fully proved tuat l’enelentiary
punishment, when inflicted as it has been h tlior
to dune in this state, instead of ref arming convicts,
rctui iu rhciu to society callous to tiie sense of re
putation, improved in tiie art of villainy, and feur
ie-s of tiie consequences which the law attache,
tu tl»o cuiumisEiou of crime, it is believed that
the best correction for this inefficiency of our
inode of punishment, is U lie found in tiie solitaiy
confinement of each convict at ail t mes, except
when at labor, run! meals. It is therefore recom
mended, that the law of 1829, be so amended, as
to carry :1s provisions upon tins subject into exe
cution Much useful information has beun col
looted and published, by tiie industrious uml bene
volent efforts of tiie l'risou lJk-cipime Society of
Boston, in relation to Pcnitentia, punishment. It
might ho useful so direct the purchase a conside
rable number of its reports. The laws fur lire
regulation of the internal police of iha Penitentia
ry inquire to be amended, in such manner as to
secur discipline in the guatil.
All in tins country concur in the opinion, that
•he genera! diffusion of know ledge ainciig the peo
ple, is necessary to tiie perfection of individual
and social happiness, as w.-ll «» to tiie proper ati
niiiiistraU-'ii of tiie Governmemncni. Jhe peo
ple of this slate have noi pc’ r Ihr policy of
f. s.eitng our literary i stilutiuns, lobe question
ed. They have by an imperative constitutional
annulment, inquired nt the Legislature, that the
,ii ts and sciences be promoted by donations to tho
l ollcge and tlio establishment of uliic-i Eeiuina-
I’io-a of learning; On • continues m the
. ime pmspru* -us statu which lias distinguished it
ft>r many years past. It i.cmniids however your
further support, t > place it upon tnu same liberal
foundation withsnniiar institutions in other status
its means oi communicating the varied and accu
rate scientific knowledge which tiie present state
of public opinion req dies of educated men, must
be equal to other institutions of tho same kind,
or uiir youth, v.li i seek much improvement, tnuy
be expected to go elsewhere to find it. it is more
impoit-int, than it is unusually considered, that
our educated and wealthy young men, who must
in cos-miiy exercise much mil once in directing
tho affairs ot tiie Goverunc ut, h uld have all
their feelings and attaeimicnls ideiitk ed witli the
character and prosperity of the tstate—such will
not always be the case with tit-we whose scholas
tic acquirements are obtained at the Seminaries
of learning in otner stales, or foreign countries.—
Xu be politically devoted to tho iuteic.;ts ol our
slate, we must think and feel with it. Even as
a matter of mere selfish policy and economical
expenditure, we ought to return iiie wealth which
v. ill be expended by our you.ig men abroad unless
they can be educated at home. The ll miisliiug
slate if our college shews the disposition of our
people to support it liberally.— I'emiit me there
fore to recommend tu you sucii an iuciuasc ofits
endowments as will i liable it to procure the voiy
best means of dispensing learning to i!s matricu
lates The extent of our leriiiory, increasing
population, and prospect of future wealth, justify,
or rather call for this policy.
Academies are lire necessary supports of a Col
lege, and tile most useful and efficient means of
forming teachers for our common schools. The
success of these Institutions depeuds so essential
li u >on circumstances entirely independent of the
public funds, that it is exceedingly difficult to de
tuiiurno what kiuU of support from tile state ope
rates most beneficially for their encouragement.
It is certain that the cause of Literut re is not
much advanced by mere charters of incorporation,
and equally so that the slate can neither endow
with permanent funds nor support by animal con
trib tiotiSjtili the academies tuxt have i cuuincor
porated Pei haps appropriations ougiit not to be
made for Academics, except tor tlmir permanent
endowment and lew endowed but in aid o! tno
contributions of individuals. Ample means belong
to the coomiunity to educate its members The
desi.e loappfy them to that purpose should be in
dented it posible by the policy of the government.
The appropriations lor academical purposes, winch
have been made f r some y< at. |-ns‘, does not
l seem to have elfecled any public benefit at all eq al
to tiie expenditure Almost any change in ihe
present inode of distributing tiie.-c funds would

siiip master if ibis tuwi :
*’ After several days of s'ormy weather,
one evening about 8 P. M. duiing a light
shower (which had produced by u hull
-qual ,) a Jack-a lan ern was seen on tho
maintop gallant mast head and an iritelli
gent person sent up to examrne it. lio
found it formed by a circle of lights around
the mist bead, 3 or 10 in number, and one
or two inches apait. Each flame was ü
bout two inches long ; where it joined tbo
mast head, it was about the size of u knit
ting needle, and tho extiemiiy laiger than
tho fl tine of a candle, and nearly as bright,
of a pale blue colour, each making a noise
similar to steam out of green wood while
burning. No smell was precepiible. U*
pun striking it wiili the hand the lights were
extinguished, and small sparks adheredlo
i lie hand f. r a moment, then disupeared.
In a few seconds, the light again began lo
burn ; alter several blows they cntiiiy dis
appeared.
The above description was written at
the time, and may he relied ou as ac
curate.
