got JOHNSON'S KZBSAOK AND GOT. BROWN'S
inaugural.
%- In the taut isiiej>f the Reporter we gave a briof
.ynopi.ii of Gov. Johnson’s Menage, and ai we pub
lish it entire in tbii, we deem it unnoco.iary to .ay
more in regard to it. In the present i.iue, we pub
j li.b al.o the Inaugural Address” of Gov. Brown, and
I w ; t h it we think uien of all partiei ought to b
i pleated. Upon the subject of the State Road, the
*1 Governor i all right, a. we knew before, and we
% hope that it may be a Icon to some of our people
at leu*t, admonishing them not to believe everything
i they hear, eapeeially when it chine from a political
;* enemy. After .peaking of the incalculable beiie
fits which have accrued to Cherokee, und indeed to
1 the w hole State from the con.truclion of this Road,
the Governor conclude* with this patriotic senti
~me lit: “ The example i. worthy of imitation, and in
’ mv judgment, the Legislature taking care that the
4 State la amply secured, beyond the possibility of a
j doubt, .hould not he.itatc to extend that aid which
a I. neeenaary for the development of other lections.
A. an example, what Georgian would not feel proud
- to see our beautiful commercial emporium connected
by Railroad with our South-Western border and the
* Gulf of Mexico; thereby developing the great sea
port, and South-Western portion of our State; and
musing much which is how awilderneii to bloom
like the row, and to teem with the rich products of
the fertile ipil f this beautiful, and interesting ee
* tion.” All honor to Gov, Brown for thus boldly
taking position in our favor, and we trust that he
will be seconded heartily by our Cherokee friendi.
The Governor allude* moat beautifully to the para
mount importance of educating the rising genera
tion, and we see that a bill lias already been intro
duced into the Legislature upon this subject. Sue
cess to this great project! \Y e, the men ot the
present day, both ruler, and the ruled, must soon
pass away, and the destinies of our bclortviFfetnte,
‘be committed to the- hands of thoae who are now
children. God grant that they may be qualified
to take ohurge of the high and responsible trust!—
the Gtsvernor then ’notices the Bank suspensions,
and after lome sensible remarks, says : “On being
informed, upon such legal evidence as the statute
contemplates, that any chartered Bank in Georgia
suspends specie payment, 1 shall order proceedings
tyr-th* forfeitures of its charter “- -XhU- strong lan
guage does not seem to go dowu so well with some
of the press, but for ourselves we approve and en
dorse it most heartily and fully. According to the
organic law of every Bank, one dollar iu specie to
every three that is issued in bills, must la* in the
vaults of the Bank, the Legislature intending by this
that the bill-holder should at least have the securi
ty that one hears to three. But it seems that the
Banks have traveled out of the State, and gone
to New York to buy up Southern paper, or engage
in other speculation*, w'hieh has created an indebt
edness there against them, and Which, if enforced,
w ill drain them of their specie. They have to shut
down, they say, in order to give the bill-holder the
security which the law says he shall have. Ibis
may he all well enough for us, lint it in no wise ex
cuses tile wrong of the thing. A\ hat right hail the
hanks to engage in any business, which would haz
ard the security of the Georgia bill-holder, for whose
benefit, together with the Bank corporators, the
Bank itself is established ! They hfc.l none, and al
though stringent measures against them may ruin
some vs US, and affect us all more or less, yet pop it
to them, say we. Governments and laws are not
formed fur a Jay, or even a generation, and let not
’ our children ■yt to say that because we, their
fathers “eat -sour grapes their teeth are set on
’ edge.”
The last matter noticed by his Excellency i* our
Federal Relations, and on this subject he is right
side tip also. Georgia has taken her position in this
regard, and by legislation ha* “provided the means
to carry into effect her firm resolutions, and made it
the dqtj of her Executive to see that her stern de
crees are faithfully executed ” We happen to know
<in\eVusr- Joseph E. Brow n personally, and our
word for it, when the day of trial comes, which God
in his infinite mercy avert, lie will Ire found as firm
ns a rock.
Jai kmiN vili.k, Telfair Cos., 1
October 22d; 1857. (
Mr. Editor: —I have been in several
counties since the election, afld onff senti
ment prevails,that Chatham county deserves
more honor than any other county in the
District, for the manifold vote Hem
ocrats gave to Seward.
We arc ready and willing to do all we
can for you at any time. It is the wish of
nil the hack-woods, that you have the next
Democratic candidate for Congress.
I was in your city a few’ days, before the
election, and was somewhat alarmed—l fear
ed to hear the result, but vve are rejoicing
for you, and when the news came what tild
Chatham had ‘done, we fired twenty-five
guns. Yours, &,c., W. W,
The. above is copied from tlie Savannah
(Georgian, and we have a word or two to say
in reference to it.
The correspondent says ; “ We are ready
and willing to do all we can for you at any
k time.” We suppose that this refers to the
J Georgian, and we. second the motion most
heartily. The Georgian is a most excellent
paper,-and edited by a gentleman in every
respect. The correspondent goes on; “It
is the wish of all the back-woods that you
have the next Democratic candidate for Con
grcaa.” We cannot say ns to tlifc sentiment
of all the hack-woods, but our own agrees
with that of the correspondent to the extent
that the candidate should come from the
East. Mr. Seward, living in t lie-wet re me
Western portion of the District, has been
elected three times, and it is but fair that the
other side should have the next representa
tive; hut there are more places in the East
than Savannah, and gentlemen of high tal
ent litre outside the walls of that city. Hut
the main object of this-writing was to notice”
the first sentence in t|iis communication.—
The correspondent says; “I have been iu
1 several counties since the election, and one
sentiment prevails, that Chatham county de
serves more honor than any other county in
’ tha District, for the manifold vote that the
Democrats gave to'Seward.”
/. Chatham county with a decided Demo
cratic majority, allowed Seward, the Demo
cratic candidate,'to be beaten ninety votes,
therefore hallelujah t -hurrah for Chatham
county ! jpd slioot off twenty-five guns!—
Now this jubilation over a defeat, when we
should have had a victory, must appear ex
ceedingly ridiculous, in the eyes of people
outside the District. The Democracy of
Chatham County are no better so far as we
know or bciieve than the Democtpcy of any
other county in the State, nnd we Are willing
to mete out to them the same justice due to
mbci s, no more, no less. k

COBRESPONDECE WIBE-3BA6S BEPOBTER
Milledcevjllk, Nov. fjjth, 1857.
Messrs. Editor's :—Nothing of great im
portance, has transpired since my last. The
two houses nrc getting on arfast as could be
expected, many important measures have
bgen started, and soon the debates will com
mence. Although there are no brilliant men
composing the Senate this year,yet the body
! w ’iH average more men of real good sense,
and sound judgment than is usually found in
|so large an assemblage ; the same may be
| said of the House of Representatives,
j Hon. Robert Toombs was re-elected to
! the U. S. Senate wiUiout an effort on his part;
ihe is very populnrSfctli the masses, and lie
I is second to none, italic councils of the coun
try —he made a good speech the afternoon of
j his nomination-—some five or six hunffred be
ing present to hear him.
Hon. Joseph 11. Lumpkin was re-elected
to the bench of the Supreme Court, a posi
! tion lie lias held with so much honor to him
) self and usefulness to his native State, since
j the Court was established. His election was
1 nearly unanimous, he receiving all but two
| votes.
The Hon. A. 11. Stephens has been in the
j Metropolis for several days—he was Chair
man of the Committee of 24, at the great
i meeting of the Democrats, on the evening of
j the 10th inst., and made a fine speech ; con- \
i sidcred by his friends, as one of his ablest
efforts—l bad the pleasure” of heating him,
and felt proud of him, ns a Georgian—l send
you the resolutions adopted on the occasion.
Mr, Davis, tfie Representative from the coun
ty of Early, died yesterday mormHg, and
both for the day ns usual.
He was in feeble health when he arrived,
here, was-sick only a few days, and leaves,
I learn, a wife and six children.
Mr. Smith, of Tattnall is quite sick, but
considered by bis physician, somewhat better
to-day. From a letter I saw yesterday da
ted Jacksonville, Nov. 6th., I learn that Mr.
Dorminy, Representative elect from the coun
ty of Irwin, and who has not been able- to
roach this place from sickness, is no better,
and fears are entertained of a fatal termina
| tion of his disease.
1 think a majority of-the Legislature are
disposed to differ witli Gov. Brown respect- j
i ing the Banks, still there arc a large number
with the; Governor, in feeling and opinion.—
The bill authorizing the Tax Collectors, to
take tlie bills of those Banks which were in
good repute, before the suspension, in pay
ment of taxes due, has passed the House,
nnd will pass tlitrSenate in a day or two.
I hear it rumored that Col. Turk the pres
ent principal keeper of the Penitentiary will
be removed, and Col.. McConnel of one of
the Cherokee counties will be appointed in
•his place, and” I hear it also Stated, that Dr.
Lewis of Cherokee, will he - Superintendent
of the State Road in place of Col. Spurlock.
Dr. Lewis, ’tis said, sent our present Gover
nor, to College—and his nppoinnnent, is an
act of gratitude on the part of his Exeellcu
cy; ‘ . . i
‘1 here arc very fexv ladies present this
Session, many sweet, familiar faces are ab
sent, and on enquiring, I learn,that, most of;
them have married. Last Session was a j
luck}'one, for both ladies and gentlemen—
and 1 hope life present will be equally so.
Yours, ~ Ai.apaha. „
B. S. I forgot to mention that Mr. Bough
ton of the- Federal Union was nominated By
1 1ae--Democratie portion of the- legislature,
for State Printer. The Federal Union, the.
Empire State, j\tliews Banner, and South
estern News, were, the combination repre
sented by Mr. Bougton,’ and received 104
votes iu the Nomination. The Savannah
Georgian, the Constitutionalist and Atlanta
Intelligencer, composed the other combina

C. J. Blalock, non ofD. and M. Blalock, wa*
born iu Lincoln cotip ty, Ga., oil the 6th of January,
18t7, joined the M. K. Chorrtifftr'k?r'Ptwff**hig
religion which was manifested in all hi* after life,
not by shout* aud high j) raises, but in a steady up
right walk and usefulness in the church and iu
world. ■*
In JB4O he removed to Florida with Mr*. Sand
w-iek’s ianiiljy,and in 164 2 was married to Mi**.
OliYinjSaiidwickx Here in his relationship to thi* lain
ilv as well a* to the church, he showed the spirit of
a true man and Christian lie acted unbly the part
of husband and father, (as he and his precious wife
had five pledge* of their mutual affection.) also tin
part of brother to the sister* of hi* wife, lor they
were indeed made father lex* and brotherless by the
hand of violence- Their father had fallen before
they left Lincoln county, and after their removal,
.their two brother* one after the the other had
fallen by the side of this brave companion,
and one was carried from the sivauip, by hi*
own hand*, while the ravage Indian* yelled
but a short distance from them The care of all
the family now fell upon him, and (as all of them
will testily,) most nobly did lie act the part of broth
er towards them in their helpless condition, lie was
appointed steward ot his church, and minister* who
have travelled that circuit, (Lowndes county, for
they had- removed to Georgia ) will testify how he
acted his part.and showed one main qualification,
liberality. He Jpid become a merchant, and, for tlie..
second time bad gone to New York to purchase
goods, and there death iu the form of congestive
chills, seized him for his victiih, and hi* (we trust)
happy spirit fled to that world unknown. Why. oil
.Death,’ didst thou not permit this husband to return
and look upon the face of his loved Olivia once
morel Why didst thou not let hiui have her aud
her little one* to kiss hia pale cheek, nnd give him
up to God ! Why not let him say good night to his
sisters at home ! Wby not let them gather itrnnnd
with his wife and little ones, and bedew his couch
with their tears and embalm him for the toyib ?
Why not let them follow tlu-ir minister iu slow and
silent step, to the house of God, and hear the sweet
comforting words of Scripture—“ those that sleep
in Christ wULGod brftig with him. Why not allow
them to follow-to the grnve in silence, and there, in
n flood id’ tear* look on while earth received him
from their sight? Why didst thou loose hi* spirit
in a distant laud, and then consign his body to the
great deep ? Death is silent. He cannot speak.—
Where shall we find an answer to these questions?—
Nowhere now.- But, when time’s busy wheels shall
stand still, aud eartii'w-fiiniibcrless millions are hustl
ed in silence, then shall God, the Saviour, speak, and
tell us the reason why. Then shall all things be
made plain, aiiiLwe shall see how this, as well as
all other things, worked for good to them w ho lov
ed Go I, who were the called according to his pur
pose.” May that God, “ whose ways are past find
ing out.” give light and comfort to the bereaved wife
and-c i deen aid numerous relatives of the deceased,
until we are all guided safely home with nil the
Church of Christ.
