They have hail such a wide circulation in the United States, and their usefulness and cheapness so -universally acknowledged, that we deem it un necessary to rrve a detailed account of what the future numbers will contain. Suffice it to say lhat they will be invaluable to all who feel an interest in the proceedings of Congress. No other publication gives them so full nor half so cheap. It is indeed, the cheapest publication in he United States perhaps in the world. Our p silion at the Seatol Government enables us to print them at so low a rate. In some parts f (he U. States, the white paper upon which these works are printed, would sell for as much as we charge for the publications. The lederal party having succeeded in elect ing their candidate to the Presidency, its lead ers will now have to declare the policy they in tend to pursue They will be obliged to make it known at the beginning or the next session of Congress. They cannot avoid it or put it off any longer. Those who supported them will be eager to know how it will benefit their "interests and will drive them to it. All the measures of the coming" administration except turning out the men who hold the minor ollices must originate and be matured in Congress. The Democratic party should know them as soon as possible, to see how their interests will be affected, ami their rights encroached upon by them. There is no source from which it can obtain the information so early, so full, and so cheap, as the Congressional Globe and Ap pendix.

J Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, October Te m, 1840. PROSPECTUS of a new work to be enti tled "Georgia Illustrated" in a series of original piciuies on steel ; with letter-press de scriptions. The plan of publishing in successive numbers, pictorial works, illustrative of the scenery ol countries, has long been a popular one in Eu rope, and is rapidly gaining favor in our own country. The proposition to issue such a work, devot ed t.i the scenery of Georgia, although novel, wi!l undoubtedly find universal iavor, and be regarded as it is by the editor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible. There is much scenery in our State, that is not surpassed in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other Slate in the Union. The upper counties abound in scenes, which need only to be known, to command the admiration o! all who love the beauties of na ture. Much of the scenery of the North, is in ferior to our own, but is yet visited by thousands simply because it has been written, sung and "lionized," by authors and travellers, until its beauty has become universally known and ap preciated. It is desirable that attention should be d irected to our own resources of the pictur esque in natural scenery, and when this is done, our own and Northern tourists will speedily render our beautiful views as immortal as our language. The South is charged with general indiffer ence to the progress of Literature and the Pine Arts; and probably the strongest foundation for the charge is found in her inaction in enter prises calculated to foster these objects. The publication of the proposed work will, it is be lieved, be an effective blow at this foundation, and a step towards the establishment of our literary reputation, to which end much honora ble effort is now directed. A third consideration, and the last which will now be urged, is the intrinsic value of such a publication as "Georgia Illustrated." It will embody the representations of the beautiful and sublime in our State scenery, and afford all, at a trifling expence, exact pictures ot our moun tains, valhes, cataracts, public buildings, &., which they may or may not otherwise behold, but which, in either case, would afford peculiar pleasure. The proposed work will be executed in a style superior to any similar pictoral work in he country. 1 he plates will be executed, on teel. bv eminent engravers, irom original draw- ngs, made expressly for the purpose, by Mr T. Addison Richards, of Augusta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter-press descrip tions, prepared for the work, and in this de partment Ihe editor will secure, as far as possi- le, the assistance and co-operation ot our best writers. In short, no pains will ne sparea to make the work a perfect gem of its kind, to the end that it may meet a welcome receptioa not onlv ai home but also abroad. Conditions. "Georgia Illustrated," will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, at &5 ner annum in" advance, or at 50 cents for each nart. navable on delivery. - . - .... .t . Each nart will contain two nighly nmsnea engravings of Georgia Scenery, accompanied with letter-press desci iptions and historical lacts, printed on large and beautiful type on the finest paper, the whole enveloped in a neatly printed cover. Anv individual who will obtain and forward six advanced subscriptions, shall be entitled to a copy of the work.

Bat wbre is th difference tween the Spanish knife and the Aid eric a dirk ; or between the stiletto of the Italian bravo who is hired to cut a throat, and the bowie knife, or the pistol, or rifle of the Ame rican chevalier, who cuts a throat to gratify a malignant spirit of revenge. The onl dif ference we can perceive is, that the ignorant Spaniard or Italian loafer docs not know much better, and the American gentleman, or che valier, understands the enormity of his crime. And such people call themselves civilized! We insist that they are no better than barba rians, and we feel bound in duty to hold them up as such to the civilized world : and we call upon the press, throughout the IJnion, to joiu in these just denunciations. Perhaps such efforts would be useless.' We have no great hope of convincing this chivalry that such barbarities are grossly immoral ; for the exhibitions of malignant ferocity which it so frequently offers, sufficiently prove that it is not much governed by moral considerations, by regard for duties to God or to men. But we may awaken a little shame, by exhibiting it to the civilized world iu its true colors. When such chevaliers, who are exceedingly tenacious upon the subject of honor, and therefore very solicitous about the good opin ion of mankind, find themselves contemned by the better portion of the civilised world as ferocious barbarians,and voluntary barbarians, become barbarians in spite ot their opportuni ties for learning better things, they may be come ashamed of themselves, and strive to earn a good character by a little regard for the aws ot trod and man. W e have no compro mise to make with these cowardly brutalities, and call upon every independent press to aid us in shaming them down. JV. Y. Sun. PLOTTR MILL.

A Dlssrace to at Civilised Country. We do not find in the prss a condemna tion so loud and determined as public duty requires, of the horrible murder committed by a Col. Wigfall, at Edgefield in South Caro lina. We have already published the facts, as they were stated in the Columbia (S. C.) Chronicle, and can see iri them nothing less than a deliberate, wanton murder indicating a most savage, as well as dastardly spirit in the murderer. We know not whether he will expiate his crime upon a gallows, as he would in any well governed community ; for such horrible assassinations, so common in some parts of the South, are too rarely punished, to permit us to hope any thing better than impu nity in this case. 15ut tor tne sake ot our common country's character, we think tnat the press ought to spare no measure of de nunciation that shall bring mis murderer to punishment, and rouse every State in the Union to restrain such barbarities. The whole proceeding shows an audacious, reckless disregard to law, which can only re sult from general impunity for violence. The murderer sends a challenge, wnicn, 11 we mis take not, is an offence against the laws ol South Carolina; and this being relused, ne resorts to posting. What is posting ? Noth- in less than a gross and scandalous noei, which is an indictable offence according to that law which governs in every State in the - -m- mm " Union excepting Louisiana, ana wbicn is a crime under the laws of that State. And how does he commit this offence ? By preparing himself to murder any person who should commit the lawful act, or rather discharge the duty, of suppressing the libel. This is not only an aggravation ot tne lioei, out anotner offence besides ; and as n to set tne laws completely at defiance, he puts this libel upon r . . . . a the court house, the very place wnere the laws are administered. And after all these often ces, he completes the climax of crime, by deliber ately murderinc a citizen wno attempted, as in dutv bound, to suDDress this libel, aucn things can occur only in a community where . violence is common, and derives encourage ment from imDUliitV. And this is called chivalry! VTe are far from recommending the barbarous manners of what is called the chivalric age, tui we can find in them nothing which authorized such proceedings. They are much more like the dastardly assassinations of Spain and Italy, of which we have had such exaggerated accounts. Chivalry, with all its faults, enjoined fair com bat, and aimed at placing adversaries on equal terms ; and it repudiated nothing so much as deliberate malignant murder. But this modern chivalry never hesitates in taking any advan tages, and is ready to stab an adversary in the back with a bowie knife, or to shoot him at bis fireside through a window. It is the chivalry of cowardly assassination. We read I of Spanish knives and Italian stilettos, and Th Colony of Liberia and Its Propt. Liberia has a populatibn of 4,500 Ameri can colonists and 30,UOU natives, it naa nine settlements or towns: the two most dis tant being 300 miles apart, on the sea coast the others at various distances, intermediate. Its territory, procured by purchase, contains nearly 500,000 acrea of land, and other large tracts can be easily obtained of the native owners in the same way. The government is modelled after our own, and is purely re publican administered almost wholly by col ored people. Agriculture is thriving and greatly extending, rour printing presses are iri operation. Twenty-one churches are organized some of them composed of native converts. More than thirty ordained minis ters are engaged in religious teaching. Many Sabbath schools are regularly attended. And on the whole the colony never appeared better than now, nor so entirely attractive to its friends on the ground of its great useful ness. ConVentlon of Tobacco Planters The contemplated convention of tobacco planters to be held in Washington on the 15th nstant, promises to be quite a numerous chh1 . We have lefore us the proceedings of two pri mary meetings, one in Anne Arundel county, and one in Charles countv, in this Slate, at both of which resolutions strongly favoring' the ob ject ol the convention were passed. At the meeting in Charles county, the Hon W . D Merrick and the Hon. Daniel Jenifer, of the U. States Congress, participated. A strong delegation was appointed from each counly to attend the convention The following resolu tions passed hv the Charles ebunty meeting. will explain, in a great measure, the object of the convention: Resolved, That the time has arrived when the tobacco planters of this country should use all proper means to impress upon the Govern ment of ll.c United States the propriety ol adopt ing speedy and effectual measures lo relieve the staple of tobacco from the heavy duties and restrictions impnscd upon it by lore igu coun tries. Resolved, That the Representatives in Con gress from the tobacco growing States be re quested 10 make this subject a primary object of legislation at ihe next and succeed ing session, until the burdens upon our tobacco abroad are so modified as to bear some fair proportion to the duties levied upon articles imported into ihe United States Sun.
