Speech of Mr. Fields,
On tile Bill Authorizing the Governor to
Appoint a Committee to Iiook out a Lo
cation for the Removal at the Penl-
tcnUuy.
Mr. Fields, of Milton, said :—Me. Presi
dent : The honorable Senator from Baldwin,
on Saturday evening, stated in his remarks
that all the argument he heard at the last Ses
sion in favor of removal, was the dilapidated
condition of the walls, and desired some Sena
tor to give one reason why the Penitentiary
should be removed from Milledgeville to any
other place in the State of Georgia, so as to
benefit the State.
. Mr. President and Senators, I now propose
to answer a portion of the argument made by
the honorable Senator from Baldwin, and give
several reasons why I think the Penitentiary
should lie removed, for as the gentleman ref
peats, the delapidatcd condition of the walls,
which is true. I also add the delapidated con
dition of all the buildings inside the walls, ex-,
cept the car shed—that building is new, and
unfortunately the one we shall have the least
use for in future, which I will show before clos
ing. Now, it is unquestionably true, that in a
very short time these buildings, as well as the
walls, will have to lie pulled down and rebuilt
here, or a new Penitentiary built somewhere
else. The Senator from Baldwin also stated
in his remarks that he had in his possession,
on his desk, statistical information showing
all the workings of all the Penitentiaries in the
United States, adding that but two or three
was sustaining themselves by convict lalior,
and that Georgia stood third or fourth in the
catalogue of self sustaining.
Mr. President and Senators, if the Georgia
Penitentiary is numbered third or fourth as
approximating self sustaining, if we can make
her fully do so, will it not be to the best inter
est of ttie State, and to do this, remove it to
some point where convict labor can be made
more profitable than at this place.
Mr. President, this Institution has been
founded forty-two years, and has sunk the
State of Georgia annually eleven thousand dol
lars, being four hundred and sixty-two thou
sand dollars expended by the State since its
erection, which is three or four times as much
as it would now take to build one of stone at
a more favorable location, and would stand
during all time. But, sir, if it is rebuilt with
Brick, as would necessarily lie the case in re
building it at its present location, in forty or
fifty years the whole work would be to do over.
Is this evidence not sufficient to convince
the minds of Senators, that it should he re
moved to some other place; if we can make it
sustain itself at any other point it will be a
great saving to the peoplo of Georgia. Sena
tors need not lie alarmed at the simple idea of
removal, there is no place in the State where
the Institution would fail to do as well as it
has at its present location.
Mr. President. I am authorized to say in my
place to you and Senators on this floor, by a
Senator of this body, that if the Penitentiary is
moved to some suitable location on the State
Road, and the buildings put up complete, he
will take the Institution for the next ten years
and give as good bond and security as can be
given in the State of Georgia, binding himself
to make the Institution sustain itself, if not he
will be responsible to the State for all deficits.
Now, sir, remove and accept the proposition
of the Senator, and we save to the tax payers
of the State of Georgia one hundred and ten
thousand dollars in ten years. Is this not an
swering the Senator’s argument, and giving
him good reasons why the Penitentiary should
he removed from this place to some other point.
Some where on the line of Rail Roads, say the
State Road, or the Stone Mountain, or any
other elegible place, as may be thought best
in the judgment of the Committee, and when
they report to his Excellency, the Governor,
and a cite is purchased, take a portion of the
convicts and go on with the work, which I am
informed can be practicably done.
The Senator from Baldwin stated that he
had from a good architect or mechanic who
had examined the old walls, reports that it
will stand there for the next century. Now
I ask Senators will they take the opinion of a
mechanic, an outsider, and perhaps looking to
no one’s interest but his own, in perference to
the opinions and recommendations of the sever
al committees that have been appointed from
time to time for the last seven years, who were
sworn and had no other interest in view but
the State’s, and every time reported in favor
of removal to some other more eligible loca
tion. Sir, these have been joint standing com
mittees of both Houses, who have carefully
and considerately looked into the affairs and
operations of the Penitentiary, aud no doubt
were forcibly struck with the disadvantages
the Institution is laboring under, and will con
tinue to do so as long as it remains here;
hence all their reports have been favorable to
removal, and I ask the Senator to bear in mind
that all these committees have been acting un
der oath.
Mr. President, I propose further reasons why
I advocate the passage of the Bill now under
consideration.—The Principal Keepers for se
veral years hack all recommend removal; they
are in charge of this Institution but a short
time before discovering the great disadvanta
ges they have to labor under, compared with
other locations. This unanimous conclusion
that all come to, that has anything to do with
the Penitentiary, having no’ other interest in
view but the State’s, ought to have much
weight with Senators on this floor. In addi
tion to the reasons already given, there is an
other thing I wish to mention and bring to the
notice of the Senators, for the last seven years
the Institution has been laboring under great
er advantages (as bad as they are) than it had
previous or will in the future, consequently
for the maintainance of this Institution larger
appropriations will lie required. During these
years it has been building cars for the Western
& Atlantic Rail Road, also fencing and grading
the public square around the State House, pa
ving the walks, &c., and much work done in
repairing the Executive Mansion in 1856 and
1857, for all this the Penitentiary has received
in cash the large sum of one hundred and three
thousand six hundred and forty one dollars
and seventeen cents. Now, Mr. President, all
this work is done, car building, which was
the most profitable of any other business ever
conducted in the Penitentiary, is now at an
end, the State Road has been supplied, as I be
fore stated, the car shed is of no further use.
Some Senator may say continue the car busi
ness and supply other roads, hut let me show
ou the difficulties here again,—all Rail Roads
that are able to pay Cash have shops of their
own, and build their own cars. New Roads
that’have to buy cars, are invariably such as
cannot pay the’ cash but have to give their
bonds running for years, so you see no cash
can be realized in purchasing car material, no
time is given for longer than four months and
some only thirty days, so this business is now
impracticable. All the work about tlic State
House and Executive Mansion being done,
what will you employ all these convicts at in
side the walls, the enclosure being too small
for so many convicts even to enjoy good health.
Sir, seven years ago we had in the Penitentia
ry ninety convicts, at this time we have one
hundred an ninety, an increase of one hundred.
I repeat again, sir, what are you going to put
them at in the present location that will even
yeild their bread—it cannot be done, there is
not room inside these walls to employ one half
of them profitably. It there was room here to
keep them all at work, there is no market.
Many things they manufacture here now, will
not bring more than the worth of the material,
and particularly so when fine and costly mate
rial are used.
Let us move them to some other location
where we can have room, where material and
provisions are cheaper, and the climate more
healtliv. Sir. convict labor should be employ
ed not on costly, but any cheap material when
manufactured goes into general use.
Mr. President, the Senator from Baldwin
states, that in his judgment, it will cost the
State some four or five hundred thousand dol
lars to build a new Penitentiary anywhere.
In answer to the Gentlemen on this point,
I will read from the report of the select com
mittee appointed by the General Assembly to
look out a suitable location for the Penitentia
ry and report thereon. I will only read a
portion, as my time will not permit me to read
all, the part I have referred to reads thus:
“ Estimates Made by your committee, ex-
-4?«d and endorsed by competent and prac-
-T>ns, show that the entire cost of en-
'iffive acres with a coarse un
feet thick and twenty
walls of a cell
’ °nd sixty
Wo
cells five by eight, and affording the requisite
number of passages, &c., would not exceed, at
regular rates, twenty-six thousand dollars.
Your committee would recommend the entire
floor of the cells to be made of unhewn stone
extending across and built up with the walls,
and plastered with hydraulic or the appropri
ate cement, that the cells be secured with sub
stantial iron door shutters, also that the roof
be constructed of stone with a slight declina
tion, and coated with mastic which should be
impervious to water, and at the same time ren
dering the building perfectly fire proof. These
additional items would swell the estimate, and.
make the aggregate cost of walls and cells from
thirty-eight to forty thousand dollars. ’ ’
Compare this sum with the enormous cost
of the present contracted cell building alone,
and you will be forcibly struck with the supe
rior eligibility of Stone Mountain as a location
over the present, and remembe'r this once done
is to do no more.
_ The convicts under the direction and super
vision of an experienced and practical archi
tect may be made to perform and execute al
most the entire work of erecting and complete-
ing the walls and cell building, and save the
State a large portion of the above specified sum
which would otherwise pass into the hands of
contractors. The committee further shows the
great diference in the cost of material, provi
sions, tan-bark and coal, compared between
this place and Stone Mountain being in favor
of the latter to the amount of nineteen thou
sand six hundred and thirty-one dollars and
sixty-nine cents.
Sir, is this not giving a good reason in favor
of removal? I now propose to show the Senate
what it will cost to partially rebuild and fit up
at this place on as economical a plan as will
at all answer the purpose, and say nothing of
the vast amount it would cost at this place, to
build up the Institution of such material and
on such a plan as would be desired ffir the safe
keeping and managing of all the convicts in
side the walls. This calculation being reliable
having been made by one of the Principal
Keepers, I will not trouble the Senate with
the particulars, but sum up the whole amount
in a short way, to-wit:
To extend walls so as to enclose five acres,
add to cell building ninety feet and covering
whole building, reconstruction of shops, hos
pital, &c., the purchase and removal of rock
jail and two academies on the premises, also
the purchase of an adjoining square for the
purpose of building houses on for guard, all
of which will cost one hundred and one thou
sand four dollars and seventy-two cents.
Mr. President, I have shown the report of
the select committee, and what it will cost to
build the Penitentiary at .Stone Mountain, or
elsewhere on the line of some of the Rail Roads.
Compare the estimates made us to the cost
here and other locations, and you will see that
we can save sixty thousand dollars in building
at some other place. Is this not giving the
honorable Senator from Baldwin a reason why
we should remove? Sir, I think I have given
him several yox! reasons for removal.
Now let us look a little into the iron busi
ness. The Senator from Baldwin savs the iron
business will not pay, and that convicts can
not make money thus employed, to prove this,
in his argument he refers us to the honorable
Mark A. Cooper, anil asks the question, if the
iron business is profitable, why is it that Air.
Cooper asks the Legislature to aid him in the
iron business.' I desire the Senator to answer
a question : did Mr. Cooper ever get a dollar
from the State Treasury to aid him in his bu
siness? the Senator answers no.
Mr. President, I will now show to the Sena
tor that the iron business is profitable, and
first 1 will take the honorable Mark A. Cooper
as proof of what I say. He has the most ex
tensive iron works in all Cherokee Georgia, lie
has also put in operation Flour Mills, which
consumes a large amount of grain annually,
both of which, sir, has successful! and by the
profits arising therefrom he has been enabled
to build a Rail Road four miles long intersect
ing with the Western & Atlantic R. R. Yet
we are told the Iron business is not profitable.
Not so sir, the Hon. Mark A. Cooper has done
more to develope the mineral resourci s of
Georgia than any man in it, he deserves great
credit and honor for his industry and enter-
prizing spirit.
Now, sir, I will give the Senator another
case showing the iron business to be profitable,
the company of Moore and others bought out a
Furnace from Col. Earl at fifteen thousand dol
lars to be paid for in Pig Iron, one ton per day.
Sir, I have been informed that the company
has paid the purchase money and all the debts
of the concern, paid all expenses for labor &c.,
and says they can sell one hundred tons per
day to the city of New York at fair prices.
Tell me, Sir, the iron business will not pay ;
1 can say to the^Gentleman as shown before,
that it nofouly pays, but is very profitable,
and I have no doubt convict labor could be
employed in this business to great advantage,
there is nothing to do but to enclose with walls
an inexhaustible iron bed, put up a furnace
and all hands go to work.
Mr. President, I can say this for the honor
able Senator from Baldwin, lie has made a
good speech, has delivered an elegant address,
and I admire his fidelity, his tact, and great
ingenuity in advocating what he conceives to
be the rights and interest of his constituents.
Sir, he has made one of the best BaldwinCounty
speeches I ever heard. Now, sir. if the Sena
tor would get up and make such a speech for
the State at large, my opinion is that wc could
pass the Bill bv two thirds majority.
Mr. President, I stand here to-day as a Sen
ator to represent the interest of eveiy County-
in the State of Georgia, and not simply the
county of Baldwin or Milton. Sir, I stand
here to represent the interest of every tax pay
er in the State.
I view this, Sir, as a very important ques
tion, I regard it as third matter of importance
for consideration before this branch of the
General Assembly. First the bill organizing
a general school system. Second the bill grant
ing State aid to certain Rail Roads, and third
the bill providing for the removal of the Pen
itentiary. I regard these bills as being most
important of all bills before the present Legis
lature.
Sir, I feel a deep and abiding interest in the
passage of this bill. Every Senator on this
floor should have a like interest in the pas
sage of this bill. And, sir, every tax paper
in the State of Georgia does have a deep inter
est in the passage of this bill now under con
sideration.
The tax payers of the State of Georgia will
speak out in thunder tones from the seaboard
to the mountains. For this reason, sir; I have
shoyvn to the Senate that by remoy'al we can
save $00,000 in building expenses. Nineteen
thousand six hundred and thirty one dollars
and sixty-nine cents difference in the cost of
material aud provisions, and one hundred and
ten thousand in ten years, by accepting Sena
tors, propo-ition to take the Institution and
save the State all expense. Sir, add up all
these sums and see how much yve can save to
the tax payers of Georgia.
I will not trespass further on the time of the
Senate, as the session is rapidly coming to a
close. I hope _ I have shown to > the'satisfac-
tion of Senators several reasons why we should
remove the,Penitentiary', Sir, 1 will yield
the floor, hoping the bill will pass.

THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER !
Prospectus for the Year 1859.
mHE Proprietor of the NEW YORK LEDGER iB gratified
I at having it in his power to announce in his Prospec
tus for the new vear—1859—that all the old papular and
eminent writers’of the LEDGER staff have been retained,
and new ones added. Among the latter we are pleased
to ment ion the name-of the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT,
who is to furnish a series of articles, to be continued dur
ing the entire year, under the title of “THE MOUNT
VERNON PAPERS." For these articles alone we have
already paid Mr. Everett (for the benefit of the Ladies
Mouut Vernon Association) the sum of TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
As an indication of popularity of the LEDGER, we need
only state the simple iact, that its circulation is larger
than that of any other TEN literary papers in the coun
try. Its success is owing to the facts that its proprietor
secures the best writers in the country, and spares no ex
pense in getting up the BEST FAMILY PAPER—a paper
of higli moral tone. The exalted reputation of its contri
butors, the practical and invariably pure an healthy
character of ail its articles, the care which is taken that
not even one offensive word shall appear in its columns,
and the superioritv of its tales aud sketches, have gained
for the NEW YORK LEDGER a position that no literary
paper has ever before reached. We feel, and always
have feit, since the LEDGER attained its immense circu
lation, that a heavy responsibility rests upon us, aud
have endeavored to discharge that responsibility con
cientiously, feeling confident that ultimately we should
receive the thanks of thousands and lens of thousands ol
families.
As to the future, we are at a loss what to say. We pre
fer to perform rather than to promise. What we have
heretofore done, is known to our readers ; they know
what the LEDGER has been, and is now, and must there
from judge what it will be hereafter. We can only say
tiiat among the regular contributors tothe LEDGER are :
GEORGE D. PRENTICE, FANNY FERN,
PROFESSIONAL CARDS.

EMMA ALICE BROWNE,
SALUE M. BRYAN,
MARY STANLY GIBSON,
AUGUSTA MOORE,
any many eminent Lawyers, Clergymen, Professors in
Colleges, and others, who write for the LEDGER anony
mously ; and that our complete arrangements are such
tiiat the current expenses of the LEDGER are now, and
will constantly be, at the rate of over three hundred thou
sand dollars per annum.
FACIS like these carry with them more weight than
any comments that could be made, and comments will
therefore be dispensed with. As we have already inti
mated, we shall le ivepromising to those who prefer toex-
pend their force in tiiat way, and content ourselves with
doing what we can make the LEDGER the most interesting
and instructive FAMILY PAPER in the World.
THE NEW YORK LEDGER, is published every Satur
day, and sold at the news offices in every city and town
throughout the country, and is mailed to subscribers at
two dollars per annum ; two copies are sent for $3. Any
person obtaining eight subscriber at $1,50 each (which
is our lowest club rates), au-t sending us $12, will be
entitled to one copy free. Terms invariably in advance.
The jxstage on tho Ledgkr to any part of the
United States, paid quarterly or /early in advance, at
tlie office where it is received, it is only twenty-six cents
a year. Canada subscribers must eaen send us twenty-
six cents iu addition to tho subscription price of tho Led
gkr, to pay the American postage.
Subscribers must write their addresses, including
tlie name of the place, County and .State, in which they
reside, in a plain baud, so as to avoid mistakes.
No subscriptions are wanted from cities, large
villages, or other places where news offices are perma
nently established.
«»-AII communications must be addressed, postage
paid, to ROBERT BONNER,
Proprietor of the New York Ledger,
No 44 Ann stteet, New York.
N. B.—-The number of the Ledger, dated Jan. 1st, 1859
will be a good one fur subscriptions to date from, as in
tiiat number the “Mount Vernon Papers.” by the
Hon. Edward Everett, will be commenced. Mr.
Everett’s, articles will be copy wrighted, so as to prevent
publication In any other paper. [dec 15 wit

SEWING MACHINES.
E EASON why the Gbovkr & Baker Machine is univer
sally preferred for family sewing:
1st. It is more simple and easier kept in order than
any other Machiie.
2d It makes a scam which will not rip or rqvel, though
every third stitch is cut.
3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, ond thus aa
trouble -of winding thread is avoided, while the same
machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change af
spool, to all varieties of work.
4tli. The same machine runs silk, 'linen thread, and
common sisool cotton with equal facility.
r.ih. The scam is as clastic as tho most elastic fabric, so
tiiat it is free from ali liability to break in washing, iron
ing, or otherwise.
6tli. Tlie stitch made by this machine is more heauti
ful than any other, either by hand or machine.
Merchants can secure tlie sales of these Machines
llieir different localities, with profit to themselves and
their customers, by applying tothe undersigned, owncts
of tlie Right for Georgia.
These machines are always on exhibition at ther Sales
