Among the most cheering of all the I facts which go to indicate the moral •late of society, are those which evince | a progressive restoration of men to the ‘ enjoyment of their health and the use i oi their reason. Nut of a few individ uals merely, but such facts as could exist only from a general or at least an extensive improvement in the state of society. The keepers of public hou ses, for instance, solely dependent on! public patronage, must of necessity • fashion their accommodations to the j publii taste; and must therefore pre- j sen l >s good an indicium of it as any other, and perhaps better. Some time since we published the advertisement of Mr. Buch’s temper ance public house in Talbotton; ‘lie worthy owner publicly announcing fits determination of excluding spirits ex cept in cases of indispensable necessity. Before that time Mr. McCombs had resolved to *ell no mors spirits at the bar of the Eagle Hotel, and none ever have been sold at the S ate Rights Mo tel, two of the principal public houses in this place. YVe have lately heard that Mr Car ter lias adopted the same regulation at the Gen eral Hotel, a large establish ment in Macon; and no doubt the same lias been done by many others of whom we have not heard. Mr. Butts, who is extensively en gaged in the transport business on me rivet between Macon and Darien, has for some months, we understand, tlis cominued the usual allowance of wis kev to his boat h3nd, substituting an equal amount in coffee; and conse qu nre is, that there is less sickness among the hands, and instead of almost continued accidents and sometimes heavy losses, which he formerly sus tained, he has incured not ewe since the present practice has been adopted.— The business of the whole season has Jicen done, if our information IS correct, without the loss of a dollar to himself or to the insurers, by any of these cas ualties, which before weie so frequent. The most gratifying aspect of these cases is, that they are none of them made with a view to aid the cause of temperance. There is already such a reformation in the habits of the people, that ta*ern keepers find their in*crest in avoiding the imputation of selling spirits. And the boa’ owners are awate ofthepiofit of navigating heir craft By sober boatmen,jus 1 as the insurance officers of New Yoi k and Boston in sure temperance ships lower than they will others. All these men act from an enlightened, clear sighted view of their own interests, and make no pro fession of acting from any other. Their testimony is therefore heyot.d all qnes lion, and proves that the most exposed and laborious duties can be better per formed wiiliout spirits than with it; that less risk is encurred without, than with it, and that a very large and growing proportion, perhaps aI r early a majority of the community, acting on a convic tion of these truths have already eman cipated themselves fiom this, the worst of si i very.— Georgia Journal.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1835. We have been very favorably impressed with anew project, which has been suggest ed to us, and which if ever carried into ef fect, must, and will advance the prosperity of our Town : namely, tin establishment of a direct line of stage c, between this place and Macon. The ill is now carried | on horseback, is tedious and unsafe; there- I fore few letters are entrusted to it, whilst on j the contrary, should it be transported in safe j j carriages, less time would be occupied, and more confidence placed in its regular and safe conveyance. The inhabitants in the in terior whose interest it is to use the waters of the Altamaha to convey their crops to market, would, by a direct line of stages, be i enabled to follow them, w ithout being bii -1 ged to make a circuit of some hundred miles !to do so. The merchant will find it to his ) interest to support this direct line, either for the purpose of meeting his stock ol goods shipped from the North to Darien, or here to take shipping for the North, or the steam boat for Charleston. It is useless to attempt to enumerate the many advantages that must inevitably grow out an establish ment of this kind, either in connection with the Charleston steam boats, or the line of packets to that place and to New Y'ork now ! in successful operation. YVe cannot speak | from experience as to the roads, but we are informed by persons well acquainted with the route, that better roads cannot be found in any portion of the Stale—and we feel sa tisfied, the inhabitants of Jacksonville and Hawkinsviile, through botli of which places the stage will run, as also those of Hartford anil Marion, will in a moment see the deci ded advantages to them of such a line, and we believe will be at any time ready to fur ther such an undertaking, and lend it all their aid. The benefits arising to our town, are self evident ;and w,e do not hesitate to | recommend it, in the most earnest manner to our merchants, and to all who feel for the prosperity of this most eligible spot, which is designed by nature, for an extensive com. mercial sea-port. And we would earnestly recommend the project to the deliberate re flection and consideration of the inhabitants of Jacksonville, Hawkinsviile and Macon. publisli n, ilsy Asomftttniicnttoh tsktu from tile Geogia Journal, signed “ A Friend to Georgia.” The subject of this communi cation, is of deep and encreasing interest, to every citizen of our State, in whatever sphere he may move, for none are too poor to evade the payment of taxes, imposed by tlie State, and none are too rich, not to feel their weight—however, our objection is no’ to taxes laid by the Slate, for the purpose of defraying the ordinary expenses of the gov ernment, and which may be deemed necessa ry for the interest of the state ; but we coin cide perfectly with the writer of the article alluded 10, that unless the number of our overgrown Legislature, can be reduced, we will soon be compelled to pay a direct Tax, in order to support this unwieldy body ; and tben.it will indeed, be best to abandon all fly tiie Stale. YY’e approve of the suggestion the waiter makes, to bring the matter, once more before the public, and 11 let it be the test of the next election,” The candidates should by this test, be tried, and each one re* quired to declare his sentiments, to those whom lie is desirous of representing ; we do not believe however, that meetings, called for this purpose, in the different counties, will answer any good purpose on those occa sions, too great excitement generally pre vails, and unhappy strifes, are too often the result. Party feelings predominate also, at these meetings too much, which in a matter of this kind, should not be taken into view, i we do not consider the question in this light jat all. It is one, which involcs the interests ;of the Whole State and on this ground, we would bring it before our readers, and would recommend to them, its serious considera tion. We beg to call the attention of our citi zens, and particularly the heads of families, ; to an advertisement in this days paper head !ed “ Lessons in Music.’, Our young Misses have long wanted an instructor of the Piano Forte, and hope our deficiency will be sup plied by Mrs. Jones, who is now and likely to be a resident among us. We wish her jsueces*. From the Georgia Journal. Gjcntucmex.— Nmw ithstatididg I am a humble individual, staying at home and minding nty own business, I have discovered that the bill to alter the Constitution of the S ate so as to have biennial sessions, as well as the bill fir the call ot a Contention to reduce the number of the General Assembly, have both failed. Now it appears to me, that if we are to have saddled upon us the present overgrown number of mem bers in the Legislature, and that with out remedy, the sooner ve kn >w it the better; as it will be time to think seri ously about leaveing the State for there must then be a direct tax laid upon the people oi the State to pay off the Leg islature. And as for Internal Impio-e ----inentandEducation.it will be unne cessary to think of either, w hile we have to support the pi esetit system of Legfi lation. The enquiry arises, vjhat is to be clone, as there has already ben sever al failures; still I think we should not despair, but bring the subject plainiy and fairly once more before the people, and let it be the test of the next elec tion. Let the people in each county call upon the candidates to rise pyblic* iy and declare their sentiments plainly and folly; and where there is not already candidates who will do all in ifieir pow er to reduce the pieseut number of members, let the people bring out oih- j crs. To this end, let there be meetings ! called in each count v, earJv in the veai , j so as to ascertain the sentiments of the j people. ’Now, as your valuable paper has | been for nearly iliiriy vears striving to ihe good of the people of Georgia, ! hope you will publish the above, should you think ii worthy a place iayour col umns.
