Ftl MESSAGE-
Feilo-w- Citizens of the Senate,
and House of Representatives:
During the past year, the people of Georgia, in
coinmon with their brethren of the other stales,
have had in some respects, to encounter diffi
culties and submit to inconveniences produced by
a concurrence of extraordinary and untoward cir
cumstances. But in their general condition and
concerns, thoy have reason lor profound gratitude
•to Divine Providence for manifold blessings con
ferred-en them- They have enjoyed a stale of
health almost unexampled—their agricultural la
bom have been requited with abundance, and in
dustry! generally, has found full employment and
tfair reward.
The deranged state of the monetary affairs of
the country has, it is true, compelled our mer
chants and traders to pay high rales of exchange
'on>the 'North, and caused all our banks, except
■the Central bank, the Coiumbus Bank, and the
Insurance Batik of Columbus, in common with
those of the other -states, to suspend specie pay
ments. But the precious incuts have had a cir
culation in thia stale sufficient for ordinary cx
■ changes, and the great body of the people have
g suffered less from the general calamity than most
lofcthe other portions of the Union.
A diversity of opinion exists in regard to the
‘viause'Of the difficulties to which I have adverted-
Political ambition, both disappointed and expect
ed, personal interest and honest error, have all
been busy in attributing them to the Veto on the
•act incorporating tho.BaWk of the United States,
the removal of the deposites, and the specie cir
,cu!sr. Jut the majority of the nation, who have
mo purposes of cupidity to subserve, and who are
(too enlightened *.o be long deceived, have found
more adequate causes in the overacliqp which
Jhas occurred in almost every branch of business
i»td speculat.on, in “overtrading and orerbank
ing»
- Nor would the existing difficulties have been,
liy so many persons, thus attributed, but for the
expectation that the people,in a moment of pan
«ic, could bo induced to call for the establishment
•of a National Bank. But happily, the rccenl
decided action of their, -Representatives in Con
gress has dispelled the delusion, and admonished
the friends of such institution to seek some more
successful expedient for the attainment of their
object.,
It'is lobe regretted, that in the contest which
has so long agitated our country on the Bank
question, private pcCuriiary interests and party
hopes, or hostility, have frequently been permit
ted to outweigh every consideration o. constitu
tional propriety —but I rejoice to say that Geor
gia, notwithstanding some of her citizens of
character and influence dissent from her princi
ples, is still on the side of the Constitution.
The government of the United Stales has no
’fight to interfere with the monetary concerns
of the country, except “to coin money and reg
ulate the value thereof, and of foreign coins ”
The Banking system is an emanation from un
delegaled slate sovereignty, which alone, has the
power to modify or control il. If over-issues, or
other irregularities have caused embarrassment,
the remedy is in restriction and retrenchment
and not in boH clamor against feigned evils, nor’
in the establishment of a National Bank to reg
ulate the States , as well as the currency.
The argument most used at the South in sup
port of such an institution, and which, in the
tnindil of commercial men, seems to have had
more influence than any other, ie, that it will
equalize exchange, hut experience has not veiili
ed this pretension; In prosperous times the
great staples of the Southern Slates supply the
means of adjusting balances against them, but in
periods of pressure and panic every thing ap
pears Impotent, and even the great Bank has been
found to he either perverse or powerless.
If, however, the assumed effect were real, its
benefit to the South, in an enlarged view, is
questionable—as long as we permit the North to
import and export for us, we must be tributary
to their prosperity, and submissive to their exac
tions. But, if exchange were permanently and
greatly against us, our capital and enterprise
’ would be directed to our own ports, now languis
hing Under neglect—our cities would be increas
ed- our highways improved, and all the means
of prosperity which spring from successtul com
merce, would bring our people into more profita
ble and patriotic communion, and enrich and em
bellish our country.
It is a reproach to Georgia that (he permits her
great resources ts be, in pari, wielded uy persons
who, in some respects, are as foreign to her ni
feelings, as they are in position. It is time that
State pride should rally and throw off that sub
jection which is crippling her energies and must
impair her spirit. It is the true conservative
principle, which, looking beyond the moment,
will sacrifice temporary convenience and transient
benefit for the permanent blessings of independ
end.
* But. apart from coniiderations of interest.what
haa the government to do w ; lh commercial ex
changes ! The mctalic currency is the only one
known to the Constitution, and no other can be
substituted but by common consent. Bank notes.
*tke other promissory notes, are merely evidences
of debt and are only convenlionable money , al
though, generally, a convenient and safe circula
ting medium,
In a commercial country like this, Banks, con
ducted on proper principles are ot unquestiona-
Wa benefit. It is only from abuse of the power to
grant, and of the grant itself, that evils connect
ed with them have arisen. If their issues were
restricted by being adjusted to their specie, in
stead of their nominal capital, or by limiting
their profits, we should not so frequently suffer
by great expansions and contractions of the cur
rency. and the controvertibility of their notes tn
to gold and silver, it the will of the holder, would
ceuue to be mere theory.
TheOoorgia Banks appear to have discharged
their duty to the community as well as the emer
gencies of the times would allow, for although the
.suspension of specie payments cannot be justifi
ed a reasonable excuse for il m-ty bo found in
' the inherent error of the banking system ns
\ now establishc I—in the great depreciation of cot
ton, which prevented those indebted to them
from meeting their engagements, and in the fact
that the Northern Banks had let the example
under necessities which those of the Sou It could
not expect to avoid or overcome.
The conduct and condition of the Ranks is a
subject of great delicacy and importance, calling
for intelligent and prudent action on the part of
the General Assembly, that they may devise and
enforce such improvements as shall secure the
- rights and interests of the community, without
( impairing the privileges necessary fur a safe and
profitable business on the part of these instil u
tiics. The propriety of such a reform is to me
more apparent than the means of obtaining it,
hut under a sense of duly, and with a diffidence
tiecoming the limited knowledge which I brought
to the investigation, I respectfully make such sug
gestions as have resulted from my best research
! and reflection.
In the charters of some of the hanks there is a
provision which declares, that a refusal on their
part to redeem their bills in specie, shall operate
as a forfeiture of their privileges; hulas this pen
alty is not general, and as the pressure, to which
I have refecred, has extended alike to all, it will
he for the Legislature to determine the propriety
of overlooking past delinquencies, and passing an
act requiring all hanks to resume specie payments
on a certain day, sufficiently distant to allow am
ple time for the present crop to he made available;
and that those which shall there fler fall to pay
their notes in gold or silver, shall, ipso facto, be
disfranchised.
The desire to make large dividends, which in
creased competition has recently so much stimu
lated, has greatly influenced some of these insti
tutions in making excessive issues, and thereby
con'ributiny in a great degree to their present
embarrassments. To restrict I tis molLe will in
my opinion, more effectually than any other mca
sure, keep them within the bounds of safety, by:
repressing that slock jobbing spirit which has
induced them to depart from propriety, and made
their stuck an object of speculation, instead of
what it was designed to be, one of safe invest
ment for surplus capital under the prospect es
moderate income. This may be done by declar
ing that no Bank shall, on its future operations,
divide among its stock-holders more than such
specified per centum per annum on the amount
of its capital actually paid in, as may bo deemed
just and liberal to those institutions; and that the
surplus profits so arrising in each, shall, at the
end of every year, he paid into the Treasury of
Ihe State at the proper credit of each Bank to
make good, as occ ston may require, any defi
ciency in its profits not exceeding the amount
necessary to afford the permitted dividend.
But the authority of the Legislature peremp
torily to modify or abrogate these charters, and
thus interfere between chartered rights and the
rights of the people, is denied by .many persons
whose judgment is entitled to high respect; whilst
others believe, that when privileges so momen
tous have been granted on the sole motive of ad
vancing the general good, and this consideration,!
which cannot be viewed as constituting a con
tract in the sense of the constitution, has failed,
it is not only the right, but the duty of the su
preme authority to interpose for the public safely,
and, if necessary, to resume a power so potent lor
good, or for evil, and which should never be per
mitted to escape the control of the people. On
this subject I forbear to give any opinion. It in
volves an important principle of constitutional
law, requiring much investigation aud reflection,
which other engagements have not allowed me
time to bestow. The law making power will de
cide for itself, and if that decision be affirmative
of the right, the judicial authority of tho govern
ment may be invoked for the final determination
of .ho question.
By the last semi-annual report of the “Insur
ance Bank or Columbus,” it appears that Nicho
las Biddle,” of Philadelphia, is the ostensible, it
not the real, owner of five thousand fouii iiun
d«ed and fiftx shakes of the capital stock of
thisinstitutiun, and that the remainder, amoun:-
ing to only five hundred and fifty shares, is own
ed by eight citizens of Georgia.
Mr. Biddle is the President of the “Bank of
Ihe United States,” which was lately chattered
by the State of Pennsylvania, with a capital of
TU'ETI FIVE MILLIONS OF IIOLLAUS. How far
the other Banks ot this State may ho injuriously
affected by the transfer of this stock, time only,
perhaps, can determine. Il is not, howeyet, in
this view alone that the transaction has I e tome
important. The charter was granted to the citi
zens of Georgia under the impression that the
Bank would be, not only in name, but in fact, a
State Institution, under the conirol of men hav
ing like feelings and interests with ourselves;
whose private properly would be within the reach
of our laws,and not that it would be transferred to
a|person residing in a distant Stale,having neither
his person nor his property here to bo “li ble for
all insurances or debts made or due by said Bank”
and controlling a powerful institution there,
whose means can be brought through the agen
cy ofthis Bank, to bear upon our inteiests and
institutions. The subject is respectfully suamit
ted to the intelligent and tamperale consideration
of the Representatives of the people.
Tho wisdom of the Legislature, in establish
ing and sustaining the Central Bank has
been made manifest, by events which have trans
pired during the past year. Tnis institution has
been managed with great ability, justice and im
partiality, and has, during the existing difficul
ties, done much good in relieving the people
throughout the Slate from embarrassments creat
ed by the sudden fall in the price of cotton, and
other causes growing out of the general stagna
tion of trade. The Slate now owns twelve thou
sand shares of stock in four of the other Banks,
for which she has paid one million and Jive thou
sand dollars. The objects sought to be effected
by the creation of the Central Bank were, to ac
commodate the great body of the people through
out the State with loans for a long period,at a low
tale of interest, and, at the same lime, to make
the funds in the Treasuary productive of income
to Ihe Stale. But, only one of these objects is
attained by owning stock in these Banka —there
the people at large can receive no recommenda
tion, whilst a few persons engaged in trade, re
siding in and near the towns and cities, receive
all the benefits resulting from Bank accommoda
tions. And it is a question for the consideration
of the Representatives of the people, whether it
ia not their duty to cause this bank stock to bo
sold, and the proceeds to be placed in the Central
Bank with the other funds of the Slate to be. in
like manner,distributed among the people! On
mature consideration of the subject my mind
• has been brought to the conclusion that it is and
i theres ire I respectfully recommend that course ;
which I do the more willingly, because no injury
can result to those institutions, inasmuch as their
capital will not he reduced by an operation having
1 no other effect than to change one stockholder
■ for another.
! Thcte is a further reason why this slock should
! he sold. The surplus revenue of the United
■ Stales was, by an act of Congress passed on the
• 23d day of June, 183 G, ordered to bo divided
■ among, and deposited with the states. The
■ amount allotted to Georgia was one million, four
hundred and one thousand, eight hundred and
' ninety six dollars, and twelve cents; to be paid in
■ four quarterly instalments, and the legislature at
5 the last session, directed, that (he money, when
■ deposited, -honld he placed in the Central Bank
B and loaned to the people. The first three instil
■ mentswere received, and disposed as required,
! and the Directors relying on the faith of the Na
r tion, ordered a dividend of seven hundred and
'■ fifty thousand dollars, in which amount was in
i- eluded the fourth instalment of the surplus reve
-1 nue, which they then had no reason l.> doubi
would be paid on the first of October last. Li
1 this expectation, however, they have been di-ap
pointed, and consequently there will be n deficien
ts cy of funds to carry out the views of the Lcgisla
- tine.
i The Central Bank, as now constituted, cannot
s issue more bills than tho amount of specie and
■ hills of other chartered banks in its vaults. This
i provision places it in the condition of a mere loan
I office, having none of the advantages, and deri
i ving none of the profits incident to other charler
-1 cd banks of the State. Indeed, the issuing of
bills under this restriction, instead of being bene,
i ficial to the Slate, is a disadvantage, because the
; expense of the issue is incurred without the pos
s sibility of any corresponding benefit to the Bank.
I Being unable to discover any good reason for
; this difference in the privileges granted to the
I Central and other Banks, I respectfully recoin-
I mend that all he placed on the same ground, in
. regard to their issues.
i The act passed at the last session of the L 'gis
, luture, “to provide for the payment of volunteers
> in this stale.” has been attended with much dilfi
t cully in its execution. Many claims were pre
. settled which could not be.allowed; and when
t the officers, to whom was confided the adminis
tration of law, endeavored, in the conscious dis
t charge of their duty to the people, to ascertain
■ the will of the Legislature by the usual and
• commonsenso mode of construing aws, they
. were condemned as unfriendly to the volunteers,
j and attempts were made to lessen them in the
| public estimation, by missiatesments of the facts
r and unjust inferences and conclusions. But
, whatever may have been the opir ions of gnyi n
s regaid to tie correctness of the construction
. placed on the statute, all knew and elt that, as
; no interest accrued to tho officers, there could be
no motive to do wrong, and therefore their integ
. ri’.y remained unimpeached.
The prin ipal difficulties hive aiiscn under
the fourth and fifth sections of the act. The
fourth provides payment for articles lost “in bat
tle, or in the immediate pursuit of Ihe Indians,
orwhile employed in actual service,” which shall
n t extend “beyond the loss of horses and cquip
pages, wagons and wearing apparel of the sol
dier." And Ihe fifth section declares that the
Governor shall pay all accounts for “subsistence,
forage, ammunition, clothing, tents, camp-cquip
page, cooking utensils, medicine, hospital stores
dtc.
Under tho fourth section payment was deman
ded for horses which died a natural death, and
(or clothes which cost higher prices than was sup
posed the Legislature intended to comprehend,
within the meaning of the words ‘ wearing ap
parel of the soldier.”
The construction placed on this section is, that
no horses can he paid for unless, “lost in battle,
or in the immediate pursuit of the Indians, or
whil e employed in actual service," which serv ice 1
caused the death or other loss of the horse', and
that the phrase, “wearing appatrel of the soldier,”
being clearly intended to designate a particular
quality or kind of clothing, the Legislature must 1
have designed such only as is famished by law
tosoldicts. But as no such apparel was Bosses- !
sed by the volunteers; and as il could not be pro
sumed that the Legislature intended, by the
words they used, to comprehend all demands for
apparel lost, including fine cloth coals, over
coats, gold bresl pins and other expensive arid- 1
des; and, as some of the accounts presented ar 1
mounted, for a single individual, to upwards of 1
one hundred dollars, it was deemed proper by the 1
Comptrollers to give notice that he would pass no
accounts for .clothing, but refer the matter to the 1
Legislature for their action.
The same difficulty occurred in the construe- 1
tion of the fifth section, in which the wont “cloth- 1
ing” is used. And as it could not be supposed :
that any distinction was intended to be made to
the prejudice of those volunteers who tost their
property “in battle, or i« the imnediato pursuit
of ihe Indians, or while employed in actual ser
vice,” and in favor of those who purchased cloth
ing before they took up tho line of inarch for
Florida, it was considered just to all concerned to
postpone the demands under both sections of tho
act. No other course could, with propriety, have
been adopted, because a majoiity of the Judges
consulted, expressed the opinion that soldier's
and not citizen’s clothing was intended by the ;
Legislature 1
In addition to the accounts for clothing con.
traded by the. officers of Miij. Cooper’s batinlion,
other claims were presented for various articles
ofluxury not authorized by any known law or
usage. Payment was, of course refused. Two
of these accounts still remain in the Executive
office. Besides this battalion, the following vol
unteers marched to Florida about the same lime:
Two companies of Infantry Irom Augusta, un
dot command of Captains Bones and Robertson
—Otto baltallirm of mounted men, under com
mand of Major Douglass—One baltallion, com
manded by Major Ross, and an independent
company of mounted mountaineers under Captain
Nelson. And, in ihe Creek wa>, these were
about four thonsaand volunteers. If any
cloths, or luxurious articles of subsistence, they
paid for them out of their funds, ho demands
itave been made on tho government for them.
The laws of the United Stales allow each militia
man in the service of the United S ates two dol
lars and fifty cents per month, in lieu of clothing,
and this amount, tl is presumed, was paid to each
volunteer when he received his other pay.
Under this act, upwards of one hundred and se
ven thousand dollars have been paid from the
Treasury, and many accounts yet remain unpaid.
A portion of, this amount has, no doubt been
drawn on fraudulent muster rolls and accounts,
as will appear by reference to the documents ac
companying this communication. It will be seen
by the letter of Hamilton W. Sharpe, Esqr. of
Lowndes county, that a man named Wra. T.
Thompson has committed a fraud and received
the sum of one thousand five hundred and ninety
four 14-100 dollars upon two muster rolls—
one in his own name, and the other in the name
of John Homes for whom he acted as agent.—
And, by (lie letter of captain Nathaniel H.
Hicks, of Decatur county, I am informed that an
individual of that county, has drawn a considera
ble sum more than he was entitled to. Many
other cases of a similar character, no doubt exist,
but it was impossible to prevent these frauds—
that sestion of the act, authorizing payment on
muster rolls requires no oath of the captain,nor
certificate of a superior officer, and therefore we
were bound to pay every roll presented, oh the
mere certificate of the person representing him
slcf as Ihe commanding officer.
Tha Comptroller, on whom was imposed the
task of auditing the accounts presented under this
act, was compelled to employ a Clerk to aid him
in the discharge of his duties. He has performed
much labor during the past year and should be
1 remunerated for these extra scrv ces.
1 The period fixed by the trea’y with thcChoro
-1 kee Indians for their removal to the West is fast
I approaching, and when il shall arrive, they must
I go, « peaceably if they will, but forcibly if we
i must.” John Ross; who has a powerful party
’ (i as always been opposed to emigration and still
r induces the common Indians to believe that be
' can obtain such modifications of the treaty as
r will permit them to remain on the soil of Geor
gia ; and for this purpose,at a Council convoked
1 liy his authority in the month of August last, a
• delega ion.of which he is a member, was appoint
e el to visit Washington during tlie ensuing scs.
I s i„n of Congress. Wo know that ho can never
B succeed; and that his conduct can h avc no other
r effect than to excite, in the breasts of tbe ignor
d an t Cherokces, delusive hopes which cannot be
II realized. What may lie tho effect of the dieap
it poinlinenta to which they are doomed none can
n fully forsec, but it is the part of wisdom to antic
k i ()atc the worst and prepare to meet it. The
1- fC ,nes wh ch were acted in mir view by Ihe
Creeks and Scrninolcs on the Cliolahoocbie and
>- j n Florida, together with our knowledge of the
d i„Jian Character, admonish us to lie ready for
t* c uning events. The 23d day of May next wil
t-rmtnate their right of occupancy, and longer,
at | t | ie y cannot slay. This fact they must he made
tl I i 0 understand through the agency of a competent
. military force composed of citizens of Georgia
. and therefore I caused a full regiment of Volun
leers to be raised for that service, which wa
placed under the command of Col. diaries 11
Nelson, to ho called to llie field when futun
dcvelopcinenta might render the employment o
such force necessary.
After the order was issued for tho organizatior
of this regiment, I advised Ihe Provident of tin
United Slates of the course I had determined tc
’ pursue, and requested to be informed whether il
would he sanctioned by (be Federal Government
that theie might be nodifftcul y in mgard to sub
aistence and pay. The correspondence on the
subject will he found among tho documents ac
companying this Message, by which it will In
seen that the President, with his present views
is not disposed to approve tho measure—bnt il
would, nevertheless, have been executed when
the lime should have arrived for action.
On the 19th of October I received by express;
a communication fiom Col. Nelson, requesting
mo to relievo, him from his obligations to mo in
regard to this service, as Governor Call hod in
vited him with a regiment of Volunteers to Flo
rida and the result of the election had deprived
me of the power to execute my plans for the pro
tection of the people of the Cherokee Circuit, and
for the enforcement of the Treaty. Having no
knowledge of tho views of my successor on this
subject, and being unwilling to deprive this gul.
fantand meritniioua officer of the opportunity of
fered to go into active service, 1 submitted tho
matter to hhi own judgment, leaving him free to
act as ho might deem proper. The correspon
dence between us is herewith submitted.
Tho offices es Uti jadier General of tho firs
Brigade of the Foss f t Division, the Second Bri
gade of the Fourth J vision, a d tbe First Brigade
of the Sixth Division of the Militia of this Siate,
have become vacant by the resignations of Briga
diei Generals J. M. Tate, Thomas F. Anderson,
ami Eli War.en.
During the difficulties wi,h the Crock Indians,
a largo number of muskets and accoutrements
were distributed to the several counties on the
frontiers, for ihe use of the people and the volun
teers; many, no doubt, have been lost and oihcr
wise disposed of, so that they will probably never
bo reclaimed, but some are still to be f lund.thougli
in a bad condition. It would be well for the
Legislature to determine wliat shall be done with
them—whether they shall remain where they arc,
or be brought to the Arsenal and repaired fur
future use. Those sent by order of General Jes
sup to the United Stales Arsenal ia Alabama,
have not been returned, ami those which were,on
the dissolution of tho Georgia Guard, left in the
care of Win. E. Carson, Esq., at Spring Place,in
obedience to a resolution of the General Assem
bly, passed on tho 18th Dec. 1835, have been
committed to the (lames and emir, ly destroyed
by the Sheriff and some other persons of Murray
County.
'l’itc attention of tho General Assembly has so
often been called to the subject of our Militia laws
that I deem it unnecessary, on the psesent occa
sion,to do more than remind them that by virtue of
a Resolution of the Legislature, passed on the 23d
December, 1833, a ‘ new code for tbe regulation
and government of the Militia,” was reported and
laid before the Legislature at the commencement
of the session of 1834. and that there it has been
permitted to rest. Three sessions have passed
and no action has been had on the report. Will
the present session he permitted thus to passl
In my lust annual message, I called the alien
lion of the Legislature to the constitutional pro
vision in regard to a Supreme Court fur the cor
rection of errors in law ; and now, under a sense
of duly, again bring the subject to their notice,
respectfully referring thorn to that communication
for tny views of the necessity for such tribunal.
In confunnilv to a Resolution passed at Ihe last
session, Col. F. H. Cone, of Greensboro’, and
Widiatn 1.. Mitchell and Junius Hillyer, Bsqrs.,
of Athens, were appointed a committee to exam
ine a now digest of the laws of Georgia | compil
ed by O.iver H. Prince, Esq. Col. Cone’s en
gagements prevented him bom attending to the
examination as early as was required, and there
fore tho du i.:s were performed by Messrs Hillycr
and Hitched. They made a favorable report, and
an advance front the Treasury of live thousand
dollars was made to Mr. Prince, to enable him to
pul the wojk in press. These gentlemen have
received no remuneration for thicr services, and
it devolves on the Legislature to make such ap #
propriation for them as shall he deemed proper.
The office of Receiver of the Assets ot the
Bank of Macon having become vacant by die
resignation of Col. Zacbariah B. Haigrove,
Charles H. Rico, Esq., of Houston county, has
been appointed to suj ply bis place.
Benjamin V. Iverson, Esq., of Columbus, half
been appointed the Commissioner to expend the
amount of tbe appropriations made by the acta
of the 22d December, 1839, and 26tb December,
1836, for ihe improvement of the navigation ol
the Chattahoochee river. The contract for tbe
execution of the work was undertaken by Col.
Asa Bales, whoso bond tor Us faithful pet form
uhee is on file in the Executive office.
On the General Assembly, at the present ses
sion, will devolve tho duly of providing by law
lor taking the nexi census of Ibis State, the last
having been taken in the year one thousand eight
hundred and thirty-one by virtue of an act pass,
ed on the 23J December, 1830.
In conformity t > a Resolution of the
sion, tho stock owned by the Stale in the “ Sa
vannah, Ogcchee and ‘Allamaha Canal Compa
ny,” was sold to Mr. Amos Scudder for the sum
of ten thousand dollars; which amount was
placed in the Treasury.
Various resolutions in the Legislatures of sev

Mr. Timothy Porter has been employed to su
perintend the erection ofthe Governor’s house.—
During the past summer he lias been engaged in
procuring materials and mechanics, and is now
prepared to proceed with the work. The fence
around the Capitol Square was undertaken by
Mr. John Daniel, who is now engaged in putting
it up, and will shortly have it finished ; and the
hou.-c for the principal keeper ol the Penitentiary
is nearly completed. No contract has been made
for biii.oing the porches to the Capitol, because
it was deemed most adv-sable to have them erect*
t el undtr tbe superintendence of Mr. Puller,
, with whom an arrangement may be made loi
I that purpose.

The Reports of Inspectors and Principal Kec

s> show that the nett profits of that institution havi
it been less than during Ihe year 1830. Varioui
n causes have conspired to produce tnis result. Tin
stuck of seasoned wagon limber and oilier mate

g consequently, during tbe Spring and Sununei
„ months, the must favorable for profitable employ
i. incnl, tho convicts had to he engaged in dressing
i. green timber and doing other unproductive work
cl because there were no pro er materials for fabri
i. eating such articles as were called for by the pub
j lie. In add lion to this, the expense ot the in
o solution has been'enhanced to the amount of two
s thousand eight hundred anil seventy-eight dollars
. end sixty-six, cents, by the increased pay of the
officers and guard, and the high prices of sub
-0 sistancc. If they had remained as formerly, the
, profits of tho past year, notwithstanding the
, want of proper materials, would have fallen short
of, those of the preceding only thirty-eight dollars
s and sevevrly-nino cents. —Still, however; after
tbe payment of all the debts due by the Peniten.

hisuial,
Immediately after the enactment ofthe law
of the last session, authorising the construc
tion of tho "Western & Atlantic Kail Hoad n
correspondence was opened with M j McNeil
and other gentlemen, with the view of ob
taining a competent Engineer to conduct Hie
surveys of a route f.om the Ohatlahoochie n
verto the Tennessee line,and to locate and
construct the road: but unavoidable delays oc
curred, and a person properly qualified lor the
office of Chief Engineer could not he procu
red until a period touch later than was ex
pected or desired. Fortunately, however, on
the 12ih day of Way last, a contract was
made wi'h Colonel Stephen 11. Long, woo
deservedly stands at the head of his profes
sion, and whose education and experience
have eminently qualified him fur the tusk of
conducting tins great work.
No lime was lost after the appointment of
Col. Long. Ho immediately proceeded to
organize three brigades of Engineers and
provide the necessary instruments and camp
equipage for field service—and on the 4ih day
ol July last the surveys were corsmended on
the Chullahooc.hie river near Pill man's furry,
throe mile* below Warsaw', in Forsyth Coun
ty. Several linos have been examined with
Hie view of ascertaining the most direct and
practicable route from the Tennessee line
alorncar Uossvtllc, to some poiul tin the
Suuilieaslorn hank of the Clmttahuochio riv
er, which shall he most eligible for tho exten
sion of branch Uul Hoads, thence to Ath
ens, Madison, Milledgevdle, Forsyth and
Columbus." And although Iho surveys
have not yet been comp eted oi ough has been
dune to establish the lact, tlirfiqltnil Hoad
can ho extended between the points ties glin
ted by law on very favorable ground, with
a grade not exceeding, at any place, thirty
feet in a mile and with no curvature ol less
than one thousand feel radius.
This important work cun be completed in
two or thee years if the necessary funds be pro
vided. A portion ofthe amount appropriated
at the lust, session lias been expended on the
surveys, and most o' the balance is considered
pledged to Mr. William Uoaring, of Athens,
who, by a verbal contract with the Executive,
has umlettaken to mport tbe iron required
for tb 9 road, upon as favorable terms lor the
Stale us any importer will lurninslt if.
Labor and materials can be obtained with
out difficulty, and as it is all important that
the road s.iould he fioisbo.l as soon as posible,
I would respectfully recommend that very
liberal appropriations be made, at the present
session, for that purpose.
A detailed report of the progress of the
work was expected fiom tho chief Engineer,
in time to accompany this Message, hut it
has not yet arrived. A letter was received
from Col. Long, a few days ago, dated ui
Allutoony on the 22d ultimo, m winch he
say that he will he enable to make such re
. port by ihe meeting of the Legislature, so
that il may be expected at art early day ot
i the session. Il will appear, however, from
the communications ot linnsell & Gen’l Ur s
banc, which are her'With snbinitied, that
i about twenty-four miles of the road have
• hem located aid are newboady lor contracts,
• III! P ll arrangements have been made to lot
i out the work, because the Q’'error lias tig
1 au’.bony lo appoint a tdupcrintendan!, wh •,
• alone can make contracts, nul l alter "a report
‘ of the survey, locution and estimates shall
1 haie been wade by the Engineen lo the Exe
cutive showing the work io be practicable
’ at a reasonable expense.” 'f’nis lias not been
’ done, and consequently the appointment could
| not be legally made.
Having objections to tho provisions of the
third section ofthe act authorising the con
struct) in ofthis road Col. Long would not
I consent to engage in the work, except tcni
[ poranly, and until the subject could be sub
’ mitU’d to the General Assembly; bill it is un.
r derstood that if the law be so modified as lo
. obviate his objections, he will then eniet*into
h oerm ment contract. Tins section ot the act
I gives to the Superintendent, I herein provided
>f lor, certain powers wh ch Col. Long conceives
y to he incompatible wit ll Ihe duties and res*
if ponsibihtios of the Chief Engineer, For
> example :he is made the sole judge of Hie
reasonableness of contracts ottered, and who
- lh ,j r 11. ey will be beneficial lo :h : Htate; & all
■t contracts of every kind, In-ving any connex
i, ion with the constranclion, would teem lo he
d under Ins control and direction, whilst the
Chief Engineer ofthe work will he heard res
' pons blo lor its proper and econolical con
" si ruction although he will have no legal con
[l trol of the tnaitcr. 1 am satisfied, upon
v examination ofthe subj;ct,that the objections
n are well founded; that no individual, not ac
y qiiainted wdh the science of engineering, is
s compentent to execute the dunes required
e of the Bupermlendant, and that the Chief
Engineer who shall engage in tho work under
• the law, as it now is, will hazard too much,
(. Feeling great interest, in the cause of in
(" tcrnal improvements, and particularly in the
,r enterprise ol connecting Ihe Smtheru Atlan
tic Coast, with the Western Stales by moans
ofthe contumplited Hul road, I have -devo
’■ 1 tedto the work now in progress, all tho t me
e that could he spared (rent tho discharge of
lC * the duties in the Executive OjlL'.e During

id This great enterprise, tho completion ol
a- which will redound so much to me imere*!
t- and honor of the Slate, well deserved the
ol patronage of tho Logislaiure and people of
at Georgia. The examinations already made
ill demonstrate the fact tint the work is not on
ly practicable, but easy of execution, and no
ci thing, therefore, is now wanting to carry into
ill effect the objects contemplated by lire Logis
,-o bi'ure, and to place Georgia high in tbe esti
ts million of her sister Htat.es, but a cominu ition
ie of that public spirit and State pride, w hich
-■ actuated the Representatives of the people
•d at the lust session.
1 lam well from personal inter-
’ n course with tire people, and other sources ol
“ information to he reliednn, that they approve
j’ the act, and when we take a view ofthe ud
vantages which must nccessanlly result Irom
it, 1 am persuaded that fno person, who
0 '-'if In y comprehends the subject, will refuse
a his a-iseni . measures as may be no
u c- ssury to consummate an enterprise which
i. when completed, will open to us the bkteti
e save trade ofthe West and be the means of
c c eat ng a commercial emporium in the
t South—in Georgia, which may, in lime vie
» with the proudest oilies ofthe North.
r Let us, for a moment, contemplate the im
portance ofthe work hi which we have enga
f ged. Very soon tint "Georgia Rail Road”
■ will be tin shed by wliieb Alliens at.d Madison
will bo connected with Augusta. Charleston
j and Savannah; and the “Central” and ‘Mon
• roe” Hail Hoads, when completed wII con
-1 neet Nuvannah with Mutt m and Forsyth.
1 'Flie Tennessee River, from the p'-ini at
• which it is proposed to terminate the ‘■.Ves-j
tern and Ail tntic Riil Road, ’is said lo boa
good navigable stream, welt the exception of
i the “Stick” and the “ Muscle Should.” These
lit is ime. picscnt obstructions, but they are
by i o means insuperable harriers and will bo
overcome when the interest ofthe country
shall demand lire employment of lire neceasi
ry means. Thia riven inpires into- the Olffo
in the Siate of Kentucky, opposite to a rail
mad ab nit to bo const meted from tho Ohio
River to Lake Michigan, llie State of Illinois.
Thus are presented to us two important parts
of a groat die in of internal improvements rc
qn ring only the connecting link of lire
•■‘Wosiern Atlantic Rad Road,” and its
branches lo Madison and Forsyth, lo con
*tilu'.<|an nibiukrn line of nil road and
steamboat coinmnnic.ilion from Savannah
and Charleston lo Like Michigan and the
Western navigable waters.
This Is no fiction ; and who, that is a
Georgian, can view this extensive map of hu
man enterprise without emotions of pride and
pleasure, when he discovers that Ins own (
Stale will reap tho glory and Hie profit ol
the achievement !
In confirm ty to u Result-Aim of lire Inst
session, I wrote to the Governor of T lines
sue, to ascertain on wnat terms lire "Western
and Atlantic Rail lloud" could be extended
through that State to the Tennessee river. By t
the ansa er of Governor Cannon it will be
seen that he has no power to act on the sub
ject., Imt will submit it to the consideration
of the Legislature of that Stale, A copy ol
this correspondence is amonglho documents.
Tire great cause of Education deserves
your (oslering cure. About forty thousand (
dollars are now annually distributed to tire J
countries, and constitute what are denomin- (
at nil ‘the Academic and poor S bool Funds.” i
Tnis system is believed to be radically defee- i
live, There should he no such designations j
as “Academic” and "I‘oor School,” because J
they arc invidious and insulling. I’ovcriy, ,
tuough a grrat inconvenience, is no crime, e
and it is highly improper, whilst you offer to (
aid the cause of education, to say lo a por- J
lion of the people, "you are poor.” Tlretis ,
auds of freemen wh >, tlmtigh indigent, are |
honest, patriotic and valuable citizens, will
refuse your bounty and despise,tire hand that
off’-rs it, because it is accompanied with in- I
suit.
These funds should bo consolidated under
lire title of ‘Education Fund," and oppl ed to
tire uses of primary schools, teaching only,
the rudiments of un English education.
By a Resolution of tire last session, a com
mittee of gentlemen was appointed to visit tire
North for lire purpose of collecting informa
tion on tins subject, which may enable the
General Assembly to adopt a plan belter sui
ted to affl ct the object HI view, than llmi now
in operation, and it is hoped they may make:
a satisfactory repmt.
None hul an educated people can preserve
the hheriy and happiness voucltsaled lo us
by the blood and treasure expended by our
forefathers, and therefore tire Legislature
should extend, as far as possible, Ihe means
of intellectual improvement to tho whole mass
1 of tire community. Too much ought not to
he attempted; but it is believed that a great
deal of good may be done by distributing the
money set apart for education, to the d ffer
oni counties, to be applied for tho use of coin
i men schools, at winch all maybe taught for
, a portion at least ol every year. A sysicm
ofthis kmd is in successful operation in some
• of tire States, and will, if adopted here, it
, i* hoped, effect tire great object of the Con
siitunon in regard to education;

I dit to himself and benefit to the unfortunate
