I U V.i not hesitate to subscribe for the full number of I .- ies authorized under the resolution. Vcojiv of this work has been sent me in two volumes. I ~a;iv bound, printed with new type on good paper; i 1 cheerfully add my testimony, as far as I am able f f,T u ig«*. to that of the' Committee, of the fidelity with l ';; it has been gotten up. and its utility with every . t .f our citizens. It should be borne in mind that ■ • . work was printed in Athens, Ga.. and to this extent | i l-e favorably regarded, as the money paid for the [ ! H-r. at least, will remain in the country. To afford ng encouragement to this enterprise, two thou- I . -i dollars of the State's subscription was advanced „f the Contingent Fund, to this object. In the month of April last, a vacancy occurred, by ■ : - resignation of Wm. B. Tinsley, iu the ofilcc of Trea- I . ;r rof the State. Julius M.

I T'u- Report of the Principal Keeper of the Penitent ia ■ w .11 printed and laid before the Geueral Assembly a: in early day. with a detailed statement of the busi h ~f the same, for the last two years, to which l re ►ireetfully refer you. 1 i ft-11 it my duty to recommend to the last General A-einMy. the propriety of classifying and separating \) l onvici* within the walls, according to the moral stu-;.itu«le of the offence committed.

By reference to the I (t. i: -of this account, the justice of the claim cannot K.. n-s-.mably denied as a legitimate charge upon tho Hfroasury. ■ At the last session, an unsuccessful effort was made to A; a part of the convict labor to the manufacture of rit and other Cars, for tho use of the State Road. ift 1 :.-- fa> ''i.ies afforded by tin* completion ofthe.Mil |A-.lgi*v.»io and Gordon Bailrovi. to transport Cars from X) i'l-niteutiary to the State Komi, renders this subject '% 'i.y ot' vuur consideration.

THE MILITIA. ft In reference to the several acts of the General Assem jft' fur the organization and discipline of the militia I I the State, so much has been communicated by my I fv**ral predecessors and myself, and so little done, that I [reluctantly bring the subject to your notice. Our militia system is one of the few in which any barge might he regarded an improvement, and none k*m more demanded than a total repeal of all laws on !• subject, that the Legislature may he disencumbered [the rubbish, crowded into the Digests, by successive b,Mature - amending, repealing and reviving Acts and brti of Acts on this subject. It is tndieved, if your legislation wa» directed to the , mization of volunteer companies, and the adoption fa plan for ascertaining, with accuracy, the effective r»:e of the State, each year, above tho age of IS, and Hor 45 years, much more would be accomplished than ilone under the present system, inducement to organize volunteer companies, b? made sufficiently great to afford a reasonable e. that one-third of the State, capable of boar arms, would, at all times, he found attached to vol -er a-.ioeiation*. The effect of this policy would he, H ha\ e always ready, an effective force, somewhat at lea ». in the use of arms, for auy emergency. b’r the present plan, the only reliable force to 3 h t any crisis, however great, are the volunteer com- I (nics now organized. A commendable spirit to form ■ lunteer associations, has inanil'eftted itself in many 1 tiion.s of the State, within the last four years, hut I rir ardor has been checked, from my inability to fur -9 Mi arms and equipments. This I regard at a great ft Isfuitune. 'To the strong arm and stout heart of the ■ soldier, must we look for protection in peace ft pi in war; and in view of a possible disturbance, liovr <r remote it may appear to many, of the amicable re t 'ti' existing with the States of the Confederacy, or a « Cm-bance more strictly local and domestic in itschar -I!ir. : • it not devolve upon the Legislature to pro v i and munitions to equip at least one-third of the 9 1 ; \ b.r< eof the State ?

To the exclusion of much other matter, we lay before our readers, this morning, the able message of Gov. Towns. We have not room for comments, this morning, but will notice some of its recommendations hereafter. The U. S. ship Congress, storeship Relief, and brig Bainbridge, were at Montevideo, Sept. 1, all well. A letter dated Genoa, Oct. 6. says that the flag ship of the American squadron (the Indepen dence) has returned from a trip to Gibraltar, and was then at Spezzia, where Com. Morgan is sojourning. The officers and crew well. The Legislature of Kentucky convenes at Frankfort in a few days. Among the earliest of its acts will be the election of a Senator for six years in the place of Mr. Underwood, whose term will have expired previous to the next meeting of the Legislature. It is stated in the California papers that the people of the Southern portion of the State who are seeking a separation from the Northern part, ask no condition further than to become a territory of the United States without any re strictions regarding slavery. They are willing to assume the payment of their proportion of the State debt. Col. Fremont.—The St. Louis Union, of the 17th says, Col. Fremont has completed and con firmed the sale of his Mariposa tract of gold in California. The sale was made to a company in London, for one million of dollars; one hun dred thousand ol which (that being the first in stalment) is to be paid to Col. Fremont in the city of New-York, on or about the loth of this month. Col. Fremont may now lie considered among the wealthiest millionaries of the United States. He has. besides the Mariposa tract just sold, avast amount of property in San Fian cisco. (Telegraphed to the Charleston Courier.) Further by tho Franklin. Baltimore, Nov. 2, 7,5 P. M. The U.

The Markets—Since the departure of the F.uropa on the 18th ult., Cotton in Liverpool had been depressed, and prices in favor of buyers in consequence ol holders continuing to press on the market. On the 20th ult., five thousand bales were sold, of which exporter* took one thousand. There was no demand by speculators. On the twenty-first ult., the sales only reached four thou sand bales. Trade in the manufacturing districts was dull, and prices were declining.—Wheat and Flour were languid, and prices a shade lower. For Corn there was a better enquiry. Piovisions were in moderate request at previous rates. Su gar was inactive but not lower. Collide was linn, and a fair business had been transacted in the article. In London, Money was easy, and Consols closed at 97J a 07 J. England.—Kossuth had not arrived at South ampton when the Franklin left that port. Pub lic enthusiasm iu regard to him was cooling off. It is asserted that he will not, and never intend ed, to come to the United States on hoard the Mississippi. He manifests a determination to revolutionize Hungary, and should he at a future day visit America, it will he only for the pur pose of raising funds for that object. Advices received in London state that the British troops had experienced another severe repulse at the Cape ol Good Hope, and that ten thousand more have been asked for. Great excitement was prevalent relative to the recent discovery of Gold in Australia. The U. S. steamship Baltic hail arrived at Liverpool. France.—The French cabinet had undergone no change.

Cirmit Court. —Judges Grier and Kane have decided the Telegraph case. The opinion sustains each and all of Morse’s patents in every particular, and desides that he was the inventor of the system ol Telegraphing by recording at a distance by means of electro magnetism, and as such is entitled to protection, and that Bain’s line infringes upon ids claims. The Court di rected a decree andinjuction to be prepared by the complainants’ Counsel in accordance with the prayer of the bill. The Counsel for the Morse Line, were Geo.
