merit was extraordinary, and may bo regarded as a strong proof of the soheitude of the Legis lature of the Mute, to bring this protracted controversy to an early ani amicable adjust ment. In the execution of this authority it at once appeared that I could not overlook the Constitution of the State, by which our ter ritorial limits had been declared. Apart from this controlling consideration,! was desirous of examining the question of right, separated from this restriction, to the end that if the Constitu tion asserted a claim to territory inconsistent with the one that was paramount on the part ot Ilorida, I might then recommend for your consideration a removal t)f the obstacle. In respect to the merits of this question as they have presented themselves, after search ing with some care fur information which might lead to a correct conclusion, and there by reconcile conflicting claims, and avert the exasperation and strife consequent on a di vided jurisdiction between sovereign author!- ’ ties, I regret that I am not prepared to make *nch a recommendation. The claim of Geor- | gia rests firmly, I believe, on the treaty made i between the United States and Spain in 179,5 vv “ mm opai ii ui 1 / which,.it should be remarked, is concurrent in this respect with the Constitution of this State. A\ ithout re-stuting the reasons of this opin ion, I beg leave respectfully to refer you to the instructions which were given to Messrs. I J. H. Coupcr and J. Crawford, Commissioners j <m the part of Georgia, and their report to this Department, and their correspondence •with the Commissioners of Florida. Copies j of these arc herewith submitted. I should not omit to observe that the propositions made by the commissioners of Georgia to those of Flor ida—that is to run the line eastward to the highest point on the principal branch of the Ht. Mary’s river, at which its tributaries accu mulate sufficient water to cause a permanent flow in a well defined channel—and, if ac cepted—would have met my approval, and the necessary steps taken to establish the bounda ry accordingly. In every aspect of this, as yet amicable con troversy, prudence and friendly neighborhood demand its early settlement. A conflict of au- i Ihority between the contesting States may be i sooner or later evneeterl Ts- Ll„ ' »wuw ux x.ucx cApecieu. xc \vm probably arise from the decision of a judicial question, j Resistance to its execution may follow. Force 1 against force may be employed, and thus the j two States may be embroiled in angry strife. j The affairs of the Penitentiary for the two ( last years have been as successfully managed by its present efficient Principal they were during the two years immediately preceding. Under his benign, yet firm ad ministration, it is believed that the general good conduct of the convicts may challenge a comparison with those that have preceded it. In the direction of their labor, he has been em inently successful. Nothing has been drawn from the Treasury for its support within two years, but on the contrary, its nett profits have amounted to $10,373 86*. Recurring to the period when he came into office, nearly four years ago, he found the workshops and tools had been lately destroy- | cd by fire. Their estimated value by his pre decessor was placed at $30,000. They have 1 f>ccn replaced, and their appraised value fixed at $23,964 46. For these objects only $lO,- 322 77 have been drawn from the Treasury. The difference between these two last men tioned amounts should properly constitute a credit to the institution, else the law is with out meaning or effect, which declares that when work is done for the State by the con victs, it shall he so charged; or that which is equally contradictory, when Work is perform ed by the convicts for the State, and by the di rection of the Legislature, it is of no value. In adverting to this inequitable mode of stat ing the accounts of this institution, it is not I for the purpose of re-opening a discussion on I transactions of years passed bv. but of show- ing the amount that has been drawn from the Treasury, and its more than full and fair equi valent as received by the State. The items composing the account of this officer for the last two years, are happily free from previous difficulties. The cash on hand, and the notes and accounts, can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. So also may the manufactured articles, fortunately few, and of comparatively small value. These will be shortly reported on by a committee appointed in accordance with a law of the last Legisla ture, as well as of the unmanufactured mate rials on hand. This report, when received, will be subject to Vour order. I bog leave to repeat my recommendation to the last Legis lature, that the salaries of the Principal and Assistant Keepers be increased, and that au thority be given for the employmen t of mas ter workmen, at high salaries, in the various trades, as overseers. I transmit herewith a list of executive war rants drawn on the treasury for the last two years; also copies of executive orders relating to various subjects. The motives of their passage are expressed in each. Sonic relate to the appointment of officers to till vacancies, and therefore claim necessarily your at tention.

I return herewith to the respective branches of the General Assembly in which they origi nated, several bills which were presented for juy revision, and did not received my appro val. Notes are appended to each, in which are briefly declared the reasons for w ithhold ing my asssent to them. Resolutions from several States, and relating to different objects, r..c transmitted herewith. Within the last year, the city of Columbus has been visited by several destructive fires. The injury to, and destruction of, property i were so extensive as to induce the Depart ment to issue an order to suspend the collec tion of the debt due to the State by that city, for the purpose of re-building a bridge that connected its trade and intercourse with Ala bama. The order was passed at the request of the municipal authorities of Columbus. It operated only as a suspension of the payment of the debt, according to the arrangements made by my immediate predecessor, and con firmed by the Legislature of 1813. The peri- i od for the resumption of payments is a sub ject for your consideration. This debt once constituted a part of the capi tal of the Central Bank. It was withdrawn find directed by the legislature to be paid by i instalments into the Treasury. It is therefore proper in the settlement of the accounts of the Cashier of the Central Hank that he should 1 be credited with an amount equal to it. A map of the State, of large size, has lately been made by Mr, William G. Bonner. It comprises more topographical accuracy than those that have preceded it, and was intended ! to have been a correct delineation, of the sur face of the State. To this end all attainable information was collected and placed at the disposal of the artist. Ills success has been generally adm'ttcd. One hundred and thirty copies of the map ! were subscribed and paid for. To each of the States of the Union a copy has been sent—be ing in some measure a requital of similar fa vors received of them. To each of the coun ties a copy has been or will be forwarded and delivered to the Inferior Courts respectively. The labors of Mr. Bonner were arduous and prolonged for the space of eighteen months. : Whether in respect to his toil or the value of j his work iu a public view, I am of opinion that the subscription already mentioned is not i v. an adequate recompense to him, and cheerful ly recommend additional compensation to such amount as may comport with the justice and liberality of the legislature. The additional building near this place, for the reception of idiots and lunatics, has been completed. A more thorough classification can now be made of the inmates of the Asy i lum - The appropriations made for their com fort and support during the two last years have been found insufficient, by reason of the increase of the pauper patients. In this emergency, after exhausting the special ap pi opriations for these objects, recourse was had on the contingent appropriation made in , the year LS I.}. To obviate future difficulties m this regard, 1 again recommend that the counties which may send pauper patients to the as\ lum should be required to defray a moi ety of the expense necessary for their main tenance. Ihirty dollars annually for each uould probably bo regarded as the proper sum to be paid. I his would be an abatement or at least onc-hall of the amount necessary for the maintenance and care of each pauper lunatic or idiot if thn acvlnm ......... i. 1 or iai °t u the asylum were not established. If the Treasury be not to some extent relieved of this burthen, which is constantly increas ing, it may be reasonably expected, that this i public charity will soon become oppressive. Indeed, since the establishment of the asy lum, it is apprehended that in some counties the beuificent laws in behalf of the poor have ! been suspended or relaxed, j . 1 16 report of the Trustees of the institu tion has been made to this department, and is subject to the order of the General Assembly. According to the report of the commission - ci for the Indigent Deaf, Dumb and I3lind, the education of this unfortunate class of our race at the Hearn Manual Labor School in this State has been successful. The beneficiaries who were at Hartford in the State of Connec ticut, were removed to the School in Floyd county early in the last year. They have in creased to the number of fourteen. In any respect it is thought, that nothing has been lost by their removal. It is certainly true that tlie dial it y oi the State has been more extend ed and economical!v administered. 1.. , 1 beg leave to present in a tubular form, the i com lition of the Central Rank, as compared with its condition about four years ago.

The opinion is repeated, that the estimated de ficiency, after exhausting tire available assets of the Rank, will be more than $200,000. The Director of the Rank has lately made a report to this Department, that contains de tailed information relating to the unavailable assets of the institution, and other informa tion useful to the Legislature. In respect to the worthless assets, in notes and bills, he es timates their aggregate amount at $367,278 89, to which may be added the amount of $51,- 460 10, previously carried to profit and loss. It is thought that the time has arrived when its assets may be turned over to the Treasury, and their administration directed by the offi cer presiding over that Department. It is re commended that ho should be allowed an As sistant Clerk, who, before entering on the .du ties of his office, should be required to give bond and security for the faithful performance of trusts reposed in him. If on this occasion, and another, similar as to time and circumstance, I have abstained from the discussion of federal measures of pre ! sent and existing concern, it is not because as an individual I have no opinions on them, or uould seek to conceal them. The path of duty is marked by the Constitution, which I cheerfully follow; preferring at all times prac tical to abstract legislation. To the zealous advocates of the rights of the States, this course cannot be objectionable. Local and domestic affairs claim our first care; fox strength at home is strength abroad. Then contemplate carefully the position that your | State should and may occupy among her con , federates, or even in the opinion of Christen dom. Her capabilities are constantly expand ing, and measured in some degree by the trust -with which you have been invested. A wise policy, combining remote and present inter ests, will ensure present enjoyment and future prosperity. This is the; essence of civiliza tion. Then promote social intercourse, en courage industry, advance education, admin ister justice, and preserve spotless public faith. Nor ought it to be forgotten, that M-hatsoever ; is expressed or acted by man, socially or indi vidually, his eye cannot be too often and in tently turned to Heaven for guidance and guardianship. GEO. W. CRAWFORD. [From the N. O. Picayune , 29 th ult.\ Arrival of the Steamship Alabama. Late News from Puebla and Mexico. I Ihe steamship Alabama, Capt. Windle, ar rived at an early hour yesterday, having left Vera Cruz on the 20th Inst., Tampico on the 22d, and Brazos Santiago on the 24th. She lay to at Brazos in a gale about twenty-four hours without communicating with the shore, and then being short of fuel she ran for Gal veston, where she arrived on the morning of the 25th. She took in a supply of coal there and left again the same evening for this port. She encountered very heavy weather from the northeast throughout the passage. The U. S. propeller Ashland, six da vs from I the Brazos, put into Galveston in distress with I fifteen cabin passengers and fifty sick and dis- | charged soldiers. They wore all transferred to the Alabama, with a large Brazos mail. The U. S. steamship New Orleans, after be -1 detained sixteen days at Tampico, got out on the 21st inst., and proceeded to Yera | Cruz. ( Cren. Patterson expected to commence his march for the interior about the 24th inst. Ihc Genius of Liberty has files of papers from the city of Mexico to the 7th inst., but had only time to sav that the most profound 4:V• . i r tranquillity reigned in the capital. As soon as the new Government of Scnor ! Pena y Pena was organized, the fact was of- | ficially announced to the representatives of friendly nations. Her Britannic Majesty’s Min ister at once replied, says a supplement to the Diario, in terms most satisfactory and honor able for their excellencies, the President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Genius of Liberty of the 19th, pub lishes several general orders of Gen. Scott, all ! of which we gave in our paper of the loth inst. We give a brief note from our Vera Cruz correspondent: [Correspondence of the New Orleans Picayune,] Vkra Cruz, early morning of Oct. Gentlemen —The Alabama is off this morn ing, but there is nothing new to write about, the “Genius of Liberty” having published the only item worth culling. Day before yesterday j about a dozen of Hays’s Hangers encountered some two hundred guerrillas out towards Santa Fc. The Mexicans charged on them, but the Texans very cooly dismounted, waited till j they came within about thirty yards, and poured a, volley of rifles into them, unsaddling * a number. Ihc rascals being reinforced at i j ■ f tempted another charge, but were this time i met with C olt s revolvers, the Texans never budging an inch.' The “bovs” all came off sate. 1 Ibe Hangers are the very men for these gaoi alias, and are worth four times their num : her ol any other mounted men I have seen I here. Col. Hays look quite well, except that j the end of his nose is sheddling its skin, and ms facets pretty essentially sunburnt all over. Jack Hay s is a remarkable man, as useful to his country' as he is modest and independent. Ihc yellow fever is still taking of its victims hcie. Lieut. Jenkins, of the Ist Dragoons, who had lately arrived with recruits, died dav before yesterday, and was buried last evenin'* i with the usual honors. ° An extra of the Genius of Liberty of the 19th inst. has reached us, from which we ex tract the following news from Puebla and the interior: [From the Genius of Liberty of Oct. 19.1 I Latk and Important from Mexico. —The family of Mr. ( astro, a respectable citizen of this place, arrived here yesterday evening from Jalap a. On the road to Santa Fe, at a deserted rancho about ten miles from here, they were mot by some thirty or forty guerrillas, bv whom they were exceedingly maltreated. The guer rillas took the entire party of travellers, and the \ chicle in which they rode, into the adjoining woods, and there held a consultation as to the policy of murdering them unreservedly. The guerrillas made several demonstrations to up set the carriage and burn it, but were finally dissuaded from their fiendish purpose, both of murder and wanton destruction, by the expos tulations and entreating declarations of the la dies that no one of them present was in any way or form connected with the Americans, cither then or any other time. Their request to have their lives spared, and their carriage saved from being burned, was finally obtained, and they succeeded in procuring permission to proceed on their journey immediately, but not tul the marauders had stripped them of almost every thing in the shape of clothing and mo ney. A Mr. Castillo, a gentleman of this city, was one of the number: the irucrillas took from him Q'itUUU.J VVJWJV. iiUill 11 IIH his sword and firearms. The constant exclama tion of some of the robbers was that none but Americans ever travelled that road nowaday?. Dr. Galvent, a native of Havana, who is direct from the city of Mexico, fell in with Mr. Cas tro’s family at Jalapa and accompanied them to this city; they suffered very many privations in the encounter with the guerillas.’ By the kindness of this gentleman we were put in the receipt of very important intelligence from the city of Mexico. He left the city of Mexico on the 7th of this month, and on the 11th, at 5 o’clock, P. M., he entered Huamantla [a town a little east of the Porote road, and about half way between Pcrote and Puebla.] There he learned that the force of Gen. Lane had entered shortly before, and so sudden and unexpected was his arrival that Santa Anna had barely time to get away by another quarter of the town. The Americans I captured two pieces of artillery belonging to ! the force of Gen. Santa Ann, which the latter in his hurry had not time to remove, and also took two prisoners, Col. Vega and Iturbidc. Santa Anna, after leaving Huatmantla, which he did at the head of 1000 horse, was reinforc ed by 1600 men of the command of Gen. Reyes, and both remained in neighborhood of Hua mantla till Gen. Lane's departure, after which this town was again taken possession of by Gens. Santa Anna and Reyes, who, following up the rear guard of the Americans, killed seventy men, principally inebriated stragglers, and took twenty prisoners. The Mexicans had two pieces of artillery with them, ’one a brass 10-poundcr and the other a 16-pounder, of the same metal. Gen. Rea sallied out of Puebla at the head of a pretty considerable force, and was await ing at El Pinal [a town a few miles south of Huatmantla, on the same road to Puebla] the approach of Gen. Lane, whose Hanks and rear the Mexicans are reported to have been inces- ’ santly harrassing. But we know and we are confident that though the Mexicans should ; muster a force four-fold the amount of that j which it is reported that they have, yet Geu. ■ Lane, the Buena Vista hero, will extricate j himself with honor and with glory from their j midst, and will form a junction with his gen eral,unscathed by the ordeal of passing through I the soldiers of .Santa Anna and Reyes. ThQ decree by which it was ordained that | Mr. Pena y Pena should take charge of the su- I prerae power in conjunction with two asso i dates, has been repealed, and Santa Anna has again been called upon to assume the reins of Government, if it can be called one, and the command of the army. Gen. Paredes is in Tulancingo, endeavoring, and with some success, it appears, to establish his monarchial system. lie has of late‘re ceived some very important converts to his po litical principles. Gen. Valencia is at his hacienda passing a way his time as agreeably as he can, taking no partin the national affairs. We suppose he is i only abiding his time. i Gen. Bravo is in Mexico, quiet, and on pa ! role. The semblance of the Mexican Government met according to appointment at Qucretaro, on the sth, but there not being any thing like a quorum present, nothing was done. Peace is as far off as ever; the feelings of the people are said to be most strenuously opposed to any compromise with the North Americans; in fact the hostility which exists against us in the interior towns, cities and villages, is re j ported to be of the most bitter kind. The other leading men and generals have gone for the most part to Cuernavaca, in the tierra caliente. [Cuernavaca is a town seven teen leagues south of the city of Mexico, on the road to Acapulco.] 1 _ Postscript The TJ.

LATKST IFATLS FROM LIVERPOOL OCT. 4 LATEST DATES FROM HA VU3 OcT. 1 CHARLES 1 ON, Nov. 3.— (Jollon —The Cotton market was very heavy throughout Saturday last, and prices would occasionally turn in favor of the purchaser- On Monday, however, an active de mand prevailed, and prices rallied. Yesterday the demand fell off materially, and the market durin® the day was rather languid than otherwise, and closed at about the rates current at the end of the week. Ihe sales in the three days reach 2850 bale*, 1900 of which were sold on Mon- Jn.r H’L - * O I II . .-X ! day.

Rice. —The Rice market has been rather heavy since our former publication, particularly yester day, when buyers obtained a slight advantage in their purchases. The transactions comprise some GOO tierces, at extremes, ranging from 3A to $4 per hundred. MOBILE, NoV. 30.—* (Jotton.' —The receipts since this day week reach 4,339 bales, and the exports for the same time are 1,20 G to Liverpool, leaving the stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared last evening, 211,782 bales, against 9.276 last sea son, and 24,217 the year previous. The effects of the foreign intelligence on this market were felt in the instant suspension of all business operations, and during the past fonrdays only 3 a 400 bales have been sold at a dec'lne of about l|c. from the rates of last week. It is im possible to give a correct quotation of nricCs, Mid dling has been disposed of at a % cents, and seemingly but little disposition exists to operate to any extent even at this reduction. The continued scarcity of shipping tends no doubt to increase the embarrassments of buyers, and the derangements of exchanges enhances much the difficulties under which every department of business at present la bors. Freights. —Vessels continue scarce, but there is very little doing in the way of freights at present. In foreign a bark taken tor Antwerp at l|c., is the only transaction of the week. w — jr v v iv.
