[From the Charleston Mercury, Jan. 27. j Proposilioim of t*cacc. The Union of Saturday night has a long | article in reprobation of the Resolutions o'- ' sered by Mr. Ctlley, of New Hampshire, in ■ Ihe Senate, and by Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, | in the House, on Friday. The-e resolves : were published yesterday in our Washing- j ion Correspondence. 1 lie Union says : “ Two movements were made yesterday in f’ongress, from the two extremities of the Union —the one by Mr. CTey.of New Hamp shire, in the Senate, and the other by Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, in the House—plainly adapted, if not designed, to disavow the war, and discourage its pro.-eculion. Mr. Gilley a-ked the Senate of the United Slates to re solve that our army should now be ordered by the President to skulk away from the enemy in humiliating and shameful retreat ! Mr. Stephens contented himself with asking the house to repudiate all idea of an indemnifica tion lor the expenses of 1 lie war, and fur our claims against Mexico, bylhe acquisition of ‘any portion of her terr.lorv,’ and to again proffer negotiation for the purpose of settling the ‘rightful boundary of'l’exas and so ob lii ning peace without such indemni'y.’ These proportions i re extraordinary ab ■imhtics —ut.d it is hard to say which of them is the greatest. Mexico demands that we ahould give up all the advantages ue iiave gained by a series of brilliant victories—that we should retreat out of her territory—that we should assume the position of the con quered country suing for peace—and then she will condescend to treat about peace.— i She bids us do this.

Every organ of the Mexican Gov- 1 eminent lias declared officially that they will not treat for peace, while our arms dominate over anv portion of their country, and i t the lace of this Mr. Stevens proposes lo nego tiate.

The Senate has been b ith eriog itself lor a week, with a rabble of amendments to tlie Army X» I! —’he end of which seemed lik« Iv to he, a grave dcci-ion by that body that volunteers are better for a foiyien war than regulars. Measures to in- ; vignrate the credit of the Government ate rclu-ed, and thus it will be compelled to pay for depreciation, and to get. its means with difficulty, even at that. The most expensive and least efficient kind of troops are prefer red, —and as if this multiplication ofthfiicu!- ties on every side was not enough, it is pro posed that we shou l.i be constantly sending somebody to Mexico to give the enemy new courage and hope by assuring them that we are sick of lighting and beg them for God’s cake lo grant us peace. The whole world * will soon despise us, and then we may come to our senses and despise ourselves. [From the Savannah Georgian.] SAPFJ.O ISLAND, Jan. 22, 1317. (Jatcrpiflur. Gentlemen: —Some letters have appeared in the newspapers respecting the caterpillar sur viving the winter, either in the butterfly or in the cocoon, or chrysalis state. The sole ob jection I can have lo such letters is, that they may lull the planter into repose, and prevent him from using all the vigilance he would use in destroying the caterpillar by fire, either in ■ its egg, in its chrysal, or in its butterfly con dition. While in Savannah recently, my black man- j agers found in the grass,along the roads and around the fields, many butterflies of the caterpillar species. My daughter’s driver found suspended to the grass, in his fields, several of the cocoons or chrysals quite alive, which he brought to the house, not knowing I was away. These are facts I give, because I wish every planter from here to Texas to burn up and i clear around his fields, as far as his conve nience will permit. That it should have been doubted for a mo ment that the caterpillar might survive the winter, is only wonderful when all analogy would have confirmed the fact..

Alter alluding to the new governmental!J expressing some prejudice against the Vice- President, it goes on thus. W e are indebted to tne l)e ta for the transiadoi.: j 'i’lie plan of tiie campaign, if we may so | style it, or rather the menlhod of carrying on ! j the war, which, according to what I have ’ ! learned, Santa Anna has adopted, is an ad i mtrable one, and perhaps the only one which ! may serve to punish the North Americans as • j they deserve. 1, who am well acquainted 1 ! with their character, and have been able to : study well their inclinations during my resi i deuce in the United States, tiiink tiie jilan a j feasible and practical).e one, and entitles the Commander-in-Chief or tiie Mexican forces to high praise. Here it is, in a few words: ‘•Every means of precaution will be tak* n in order to fortify weil one point of tiie Re public, with all tiie necessary reinforcements within a rad.us not very extended, hut well lraced,distracting in every possible manner the enemy, and calling ins attention to in significant movements. Bv these means, it I is imped, that much precious time uiji he lost by the troops of the United States, and tints, at tiie beginning of tiie summer, they | will be scattered all about the country, at different points, so that at no siimie place they may have a force as large a- tiie Cen tral Division of the Mexican army. 'Thus the advance info the country will cost the North Americans a large sum of dollars, ! which will be touching them in a tender ’ point, as they value dollars more than lives, i and money more than the blood of their citi zens. Resides tiie 10-s of time and the ex orbitant expenses of the North America).s, which are three times as great as those of the Mexican army, the summer season will fail upon them unexpected!} 7 , with its numerous ■ diseases and epidemics, so perilou- to tiie nn ; acclimated, and thus, without a sing e shot from the Mexican ranks, they will peri-h 1 daily by hundreds, both men and be s's. who i will not iiave strength to resist oar ebonite. and in a short time their n T .'n's v ~ , 0 dcounuU:!

This is in brief flie plan which, according 1 to information gathered from several per.-ons, . who 1 believe l<» be well acquainted with j i such affair.-. ! have been able to trace our, hut I must remark, that tiie whole complot i- not d v edged.

It is believed that too ■ North Americans arc determined to leave Salti lo and 'l’ampicn; they wiil come to wards San Luis, and there fight the great de cisive battle, as Santa Anna will not leave that city, and will keep there constantly about 25,000 men. There are at present, in a distance ofabout 150 miles or le.ss, nearly 45,000 men of ail arms, and it is expected to raise, during the month of January, about 8000 more of infan- I try and cavalry.

As I predicted in my letter of yesterday, and was generally expected, Col. Benton made to-day a personal explanation in regard to the Lieutenant Generalship. ihe Benate listened with profound attention—the galleries were crowded lo suffocation, and Col. Benton spoke in a voice so perfectly senatorial that it was scarcely audible. Col. Benton acknowledged, without hesita tion, and with becoming frankness, that he was indeed the man whom tiie President had intended for the Lieutenant General; but that intiiis there was really little tube surprised or astonished at. Col. Benton was, in 1812, a Colonel in the regular army, and outranks all the Generals now engaged in the war i against Mexico. I understand this to mean that Colonel Benton would have outranked the General now commanding our army in Mexico, had he remained in ttie army. He also denied that in appointing iion Lieutenant General, the President intended to appoint him his successor. The President, he ob. served, tendered him the mission to France, for which he thanked him then, and for which he would thank him now; but pending I to France, fie inferred, wa* no means of mak ing him President of the Unned Mates. As to the Lieutenant Generalsh p, it had been offered him by General Jackson in case of a war with Mex co. in 1836. am! the in ference was, that what General Jackson uf ferrd in 1836, Col, P«»k could, without im propnety, offer in 1846. under similar cir cumstances. He apprehend 'd that Mexico was divided into two parlies;—one for peace, and the oilier for war,in the toil. Had lie been | appointed Lieutenant General, he would nave held out the olive branch to the one, j and made war on the other, until it should ! have been willing to treat. I behove few genilemon in the country j couid have made a similar explanation, and ! commanded its respectful attention us Col. , Benton; hut the lari is, however g?n lumen may object on other grounds to Col. Denton, neither the powers ot h s mind, ids courage, or energy of character uie doubted, and he j sat down, after having commanded the breath less attention of the Senate for mure than half an hour. AUGUSTA GEOg I I : j FRIDAY MORNING, J ANUARY 29, 1847. 1 All. McphciH’ Siesui uiimi.. The views expressed by the Charleston Mercury of tiie resolutions of Mr. Cilley in tiie Senate, and of Mr. Stephens in tiie House, in a great measure anticipate what vve wished to say on the subject. We de precate tiie resolutions of Mr. Stephens corn- | inor ns they d > from a Southern man. To call the positions there assumed absurdities , simply, is not to use language strong enough. If they would have tiie effect only to place our country in a ridiculous altitude, ior tiie jeers i and laughter of the world, we might depre- ; cate them lor the mortification they would ; bring on the proud spirit of our people. But ; I.hey were summarily rejected by a de ci-ive vote. At least we infer from the vote : of 7G yeas to 83 nays on tiie question to re ceive and refer to the Committee of tiie ! Whole, from which we infer that the House is not prepared ior the humiliation to Mexi- ! can gasconade on the one hand, or life Ami ! Slavery usurpations of the North on the other. There were several votes in favor of re- | ceiving and referring, \vh ich vve doubt not were given either iu courtesy to the mover, or with a view to bring on a discussion on their merits, yet which would he imhosital iio'ly given against their adoption by tne j House. 'i'iie Chronicle & Sentinel however with a naivete which seems to be real, nut the af fectation of it,intimates that po-Mbiy Messis. Lumpkin and (Job!) of this Stale, because they voted in the affirmative are t n favour of the resolutions, without knowing the fact, j vve venture to predict that never was infer’ j once more wide of the mark. We cannot conceive of more verdant pu rility than Die language fought to be ad dress'd to Mexico iu these resolutions. \\ e are called on to reiterate to her that vve arc willing and anxious to make peace, at tiie | vo r v lime fir has in I lie most mail- j ner and in every variety of form declared | that she will listen to no accommodatjon except on terms that it would be a burning ■ shame upon us to submit to. Mexico lias ; given us her ultimatum. Side wi 1 not treat j ot her own free will and accmd, with a view j to peace —she will hold no intercourse with I us, and scorns, as Hie has hitherto scorned j every overture. Site declares her prefer ence for war to tiie knife, unless we inglori- ; onsly back out —evacuate her territory as a ! necessary preliminary Jo becoming - a sue- | cessful suppliant for peace. Mr. Stephens i ought to know too well the martial spirit of | the American people to suppose that such an 1 altiiud * would be assumed for an instant. But his resolutions seek to emblazon to I the world our domestic differences of opinion j as to the aims and objects of tiie war, as a reason (or desiring peace. This i.-, lo say the least, not the biosl likely mode of indu cin’'-the Mexicans to yield to the entreaties thus pathetically made to her fur peace. We would tliii k it much more sensible to 1 have offered a resolution declaring it as Ihe opinion of Dio American Congress Dial it was expedient to make an entire and uncon ditional conquest ol the whole territory of Mexico, and to annex it as a conquered coun try to the United States, unless site should offer terms of pacification, and pledge her seif to make Die most ample reparation for past wrongs, and lor tiie expenses to which she has subjected this government. Such a resolution would, vve have no doubt, be enthu siastically responded to by a large portion of the American people, and would have a salu tary effect on tiie people of Mexico. Mr. Stephens’ resolutions would place us in the anomalous attitude of being frightened at our own successes, while Mexico grows more insolent and courageous with continued de feat. But, tne third resolution which declares in terms that this government relinquishes all idea of conquering and keeping as a con quest, or for indemnification any portion of Mexican territory is not only impoli tic and humiliating, but vve look upon it as a manifest shrinking from the maintenance of Southern rights. It is to our view a downright recoil from the bold tiireats of the Anti Slavery members, who bully the South with the declaration that no more territory hereafter, in all time to come, lo be annexed to the Union, shall be open to Southern emi gration. It is to be reserved for tiie espe cial benefit of the non slaveholding popula tion of the Union, and to be carved up here after into free Stales, while the slaveholder with his slates is to be hemmed in forever in i.is present limits. This is practically the threat, and would practically be the re sult if the Anti Slavery fanaticism should have its own way. Mr. Stephens is unwit lingly playing into the hands of this parly, , and may be their cats;.aw. He may fancy j that he is yielding to very high and pat riot ic notions,and the Northern Ami Slavery mem bers may stuff hi in with the idea that they think ihe same tiling of his course. Bufghey i wi 1 laugh iu their sleeves at the Quixotism Dial indulges mi romantic a sentiment at the expense of the most vital rights of toe South. 7<Z r. Aai'crsou Otlidfo. This was a .-p mined performance. Vv e know not how more fi'lv lo gi,\e expression to our admiration of Anderson's acting on Wednesday night. Perhaps no character in Die whole range of the drama more severe j ly tests the histrionic abilities of the actor than does that of Othello. There is none I which requires a greater combination of powers and opposite qualities. Love, jeal ousy, rage, remorse are all brought out iu . boid relief bv the immortal author, in that powerful delineation of human passion. It : requires a m ister of his profession to pour | tray upon the stage an i to bring as it were I into real, living existence, m all its grand proportions, this lofty conception of the poet. Vv e felt that Anderson vindicated his claim to be among the very first of his profession — worthy to appear before the must critical ad j mirers of Shakspeare as tiie impersonation 1 of his most highly wrought imaginings. | ** 3 * . i Next to tiie creative genius tout produces a i , ' j splendid fiction, to illustrate a great moral . truth, or lo pourtray the workings of human j passion, must come the sympathetic genius j j that enters fully into tiie spirit of the author, ' and by bis own impersonation impresses it ' upon others with the vividness of reality. |* . i This was done Ly Anderson in Oihello. : ' Alike in scenes of melting tenderness, and | of phrenzied rage, and of agonizing remorse , j and seif abandonment, did lie display a power | of so identifying himself with the part, that I the spectator feit for the time not that he I acted Othello, hut that ho was Othello—the : brave, Die fiery and ingenuous Moor, whose | trusting soul had bv d; momac arts, been con- i i verted into a boiling can dnm of fury and ! phreuzy, which swallowed up every senli- ; j mbnl of pity mid distorted the powers of Die i intellect, Mr, Anderson’s acting is an intellectual treat.
