DEATH. We regret to announce the death of James M.
Kelly, Esq, Reporter for the Supreme Court of the
State of Georgia, at his residence in Perry, Houston
Co on the morning of the 16th inst. 

MARRIED. On the 18th by the Rev. James Williamson.

DIED. After a short but painful illness, on the night
of the 14th at the residence of Mrs. Wm G. Smith, in
this city, in the 16th year of her age, Miss Margaret
Anderson, daughter of the late Capt Thos W. Anderson,
formerly of Twiggs County. The subject of this brief
notice was of exceedingly promising character. 

In Fort Valley on the 17th Mrs. Martha Ann Walker,
consort of George T. Walker in the 21s year of her
age. It is deemed unnecessary to say anything in
regard to her many suitable qualities as the
character that she maintained in that village, and
her deportment during the three years that she
resided there prvious to her death. Mrs. Walker,
though not a member of any church, left sufficient
estimony behind her to solace her surviving friends
and relatives. Three days before her death, while
perfectly rational, she said that she could read her
"title clear to mansions in the skjies". In
conversing with Mr. Walker since her burial, he told
me that the last words he heard her utter were, "all
is peace". By her death a fond husband, an aged
father and other relatives feel that a vaccum has
been made in their circle which cannot be filled. 

In this city on the 19th, Alberta, daughter of Hone
E. D. and Mrs. Caroline W. Tracy, aged 20 months. 

In Savannah on the 17th, after a short illness, Mr.

UPSON. Thomaston 27th Jan 1849. At a large public
meeting of the citizens of the county of Upson for
the purpose of taking into consideration the action
of Congress upon the slavery question, Mr. Robert
Collier was called to the Chair, and Mr. Travis A.D.
Weaver appointed Secretary--when Gen Evans arose and
expalined the object of the meeting, in a short and
concise speech, and Mr. Matthew H. Sandwich then
arose and offered the following preamble and
resolutions for adoption: When, in the course of
human events, the power of Government becomes
subversive of the rights of the people, it is the
most sacred duty of freemen to redress the wrong....
Resolved, That on the Slavery Question we are one,
Sourtherners, slavery men.... Resolved, That we
pledge....to maintain our rights as equals in this
Union, by resiting, peaceable if we can, the
encroachments of the Government of the United States
upon slavery, and forciby if we must.... (abstracts
of the column) Mr. Obadiah C. Gibson rose and
sustained the above resolutions with a lengthy, able
and argumentative speech. The resolutions were then
put upon their passage, when they were unanimously
adopted. On motion of Mr. John J. Cary, after an able
speech by him, the meeting adjourned. 

THE UPSON MEETING. The tone of our Upson friends is
certainly very manly and decided, and we have no
doubt that, should a crisis come, they will be
sustained by the entire South without distinction of
party.....The North is evidently assuming a more
cautious and conciliatory course...give evidence that
the beeter class of Northern politicians are receding
from their positions, and that the whole question
will be passed over to Gen Taylor's administration,
by which it will be easily and satisfactorily
settled. 

INTRODUCTION OF SLAVES. We understand that Judge
Floyd, during the recnt session of the Superior Court
of Bibb County, called the attention of the Grand
Jurors to the violation of the existing Laws of
Georgia, which prohibit the introduction of Negroes
for sale from adjacent States. 1. The large influx of
Negroes from Maryland, Virginia, and other States,
tended to depreciate the value of every Negro already
in the State; that it greatly increased the
production of cotton, and consequently prevented the
platners of Georgia from securing as high a price as
they might otherwise obtain. 2.That, under the
existing state of things,....was virtually paying
Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky for emancipating
their slaves--that under the existing excitement on
the subject, they were sending off their young
Negroes to the South and retainingly only the old
ones, thus securing, at no distant day, the utter
overthrow fo the institution of slavery in those
states. 3. Judge Floyd further contended that the
introcudction of slaves, as before alluded to, is
silently but effectually doing more towards the
ultimate destruction of our slave institutions than
all the efforts of all the abolistionists and
fanatics in the North--that it was holding out a
premium to the bordere States to get rid of the
agitation, by selling their Negroes and becoming as
hostile to the South as the fiercest fanatics in New
England or Ohio. By the penal code of 1833 the
introducton of slaves from other States is strictly
prohibited, except to residents domiciliated and to
those moving into the State with the view of becoming
residents. The penalty is $500 for each slave
illegally introduced, and hard labor in the
Penitentiary for not less than one nor over 4 years.
We fully agree with Judge Floyd that the laws ought
to be rigidly enforced, and that the existing traffic
ought to be entirely broken up. One of the principlal
advantages arising from this course to the Southern
States is that it would force the current of Negro
emigration to the West, and thereby stregnthen the
institution in the border States of Kentucky,
Tennessee and Missouri.
