GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
IN SENAI I,E.
TUESDAY, No.. 9, 1S47

TUESDAY, NO.. y, 1911.
Mr.. Dunnagan laid on the table the
following Resolution; so copies Of which
were ordered 10 be printed for the use
Of the Senate.
AS The representatives Of Georgia, one
of the members of this confederacy-il
is right and proper 10 giveaa expression
Of opinion and sentiment in reference OF
measures and policy Of the General
Government. Therefore
Be 1t Resozued, by the Senate and
House of Representatives.. That tho
General Government of the United
States ought to raise no more revenue
in time of peace, than is necessary to
defray the expense of its economical ad-
justing tariff on imports 70, this subjec,
the duties should be assessed upon the
ad valorem principle.
2. BE 1t Resolucd, That the Tariff
law Of 1916 approximales as nearly to
these requisites as is practicable, in IA
country of such diversified and conflict
ing interests as ours, and the prosperity
OF the commercial, agricultural and
manufacturing pursuits of The United
States under lis benign operation, de-
monslrates the justice and wisdom Of its
provisions, as we'll as The folly Of It's re-
peal.
8. Be it Resolved, That il, in conse.
qucnce of the existing war with Mexico,
il becomes necessary TO increase the
revenue upon imports, there should bc
no departure from the ad valorem prin-
ciple nor ought it to furnish any pretex'
for unjust determinations for the merc
sake of protection, but that such increase
of revenue should be raised by duties on
articles now free of duty under the exist
ing tariff law.
q. Belt Resoivcd, That the Congress
of the United States has no Constitution
power to incorporate National Bank
and tho successful operation OF The In
dependent Treasury, proves conciuslvc'
lly that such an institution is not neces

ly ytheAuantity OF moasscs will be very
great The present weather is unpro-
pitious being 100 warm, but still those
WHO asa boiling make good yield, but
of ordi6ary quality.
Notwithstanding, however, the un-
faYoraaeness Of the weather, the extcn-
sive character Of the crops and fullness
oftlls;aaae, throughout the State, will
fullyJaslify the calculation of the pro.
ducenfthis season. Two hundred and
furtyspusand hogsbeads is an estimate
whichSlo one regard as extravagant.

lamented Capt. Walker remained on
the field two days after his death.
Bv this arrival we have two numbers
Of a new American paper published at
Puebla and called The Flag Of Freedom.
We learn from it that Col. Chiles was
entertained on the alst ult. at dinner
given by number of officers who serv-
ed under him during tie siege Of Pueblo,
This paper furnishes a report Of the
battles Of Huimanlla and Of Atlixico,
the results of which are already before

rant, as thought and said the Duchess o
Buckingham when old Sarah Of Marl-
borough refused her, for the funeral Of
her son, the use of the state bier that
had borne the dead body Of the great
duke. The Southern principles that
could not save the father, will hardly
serve the purposes of the son. New
lights are 10 be seen in the North-and
a sharp corner must be suddenly turned.
The "WiIl O. the Wisps" of the Soulh
are too apt to lead astray from the path
of preferment; wherefore new and a
steadier guide to the spols must be found
for the friends Of "progress." A preju>
dice is to be worked up, by the low and
insiduous processes of demagogueism, TO
the dignity of principle,-a morbid
feeling of fanaiiclsm is to be armed with
all the powers of conscientious sense
of duty; and, in iuIflment of the grand
design, a wicked and most unrig ghleous
crusade against the feelings and instilu-
tions of the South is TO be preached up
and set on foot, for the purpose Of hum
bling and furnishing those who would not
obsequiousIy bow themselves down at
the ipotslools Of Martin Van. Buren and
Silas Wright, as the acknowledged Ga
malieIs Of Democracy.
Mr.. Van Buren speaks Of their dc,er>
mination 'to plant The standard OF lbs
erty upon all free soil conquered by the
treasure and blood Of .fresmsn." Whose
blood and treasure have been most law
ishly poured out upon the fields of Mex
leo? Did the free State Of Indiana,
with her delinquent regiment, do more
at Buena Vista TO uphold The honor Of
the country or to win territory for the
Union, than did the slave holding States

citizens of the country, without diserm-
ination of property and Institutions
and when The territory shall be ready

thereof determine for themselves under

ABOUT the country. From Fra ChristObal
one detachment marched with Colonel Don
Iphan south. when at the L1guna of the Jor-
"aua deI MentO, news reached lis through an
express, sent by Major Gilpin, that the Mex-
cans Ind determined TO resist at lei Paso. and
aadcollecled a considerable number of troops
intending to give MS battle. An express had
eeh sent 10 Santa Fee for part of the artillery
'hder MAJOR Clark, but no news had, as vet,
reached us from there, so that the detach-
Ieht OF thirty men from the three companies
otonr corps, are all that are here from the
n1I'aon. At the southern end of the lorna
ai,tenmileS north Of Domain. the traders
mad encamped. Contradictory rnmors ofthe
PNemy's approach reached us daily. Ycstef-
oay, lChrStnas day. when we had lust ar
rived N camp here, with about five hundred
men, had unsaddled our animals, and most

ed back towards the enemy's line. Their
chnI ge was made 10y the dragoous from their
right, directed upon our left flank, bringing
one detachment into the closest fire-lheir
infantry, with one howitzer with them, at the
same time attacking our right faux.
Their charge was a handsome one, but was
too well and too cooliy met to break our line
After their fire Ind been spent, their front
column being at about one hundred steps
from the iront Ofour flank, our line poured
volley into them which, being few times
repeated, created such havoc in their col
rmns, that their forces wheeled TO the left
retrealing from our fire, aud in their flight
nude an attack on the provision train. Here
they met very warm reception, and were
soon compelled to fly in all directions and in
the utmost confusion. Their infantry had
been put to flight even before, and the How
ard County company, under the command of
Lieut.. N. Wright, taking advantage of their
position, on the route ofshc enemy, charged
upon them and took their cannon from them;
this was soon manned by the artillery detuch-
mcnt in Col Mitchell's escort. The enemy
had 10y this time fled, leaving their arms, pro-
visions, and other stores, on the field Of battle.
A small body of mounted men, under the
command of Capt. Reid, had by this time
gathered together in line and charged upon
the enemy, pursuing them into the mountains
where they sought refuge.
The lumber oftheir dead is said to he tbir-
ty-that ofthcir wounded was slight us far
rs ascertained. We lost not n single man,
aud had but seven slightly wounded-we
took eight prisoners, six of whom died last
night. Thus ended the battle oftac Brazito,
the first battle Of the Army of the West, and
as bravely fought bv our men as ever men
fought utuny engagement
We have every reason to believe that there
is more in store for us c. H. kRIBBEN.
