We commence to-day the pub ication of j the speech of this distinguished Senator. We reed not commend it to the perusal of our readers, for there is no one who (eels the slightest concern in public afTiirs who will not read it with interest. We have no hesi * tatinn in saying that this is one of the most brilliant and aide speeches that has ever been delivered by Mr. Co’quilt. He is exceeding- | ly happy in “showing up” the humbug of whigery, every where echoed by their stum pies and flunkies— that the President by or dering a march upon the Rio Grande had brought on the war. When the same stum pies and flunkies in 1844 every where assert ed that the annexation <f 'J'exas was a de laralion of war with Mexico. If a sense of consistency could stop the mouth of a whig lo any absurdity, they certainly ought to be silent upon the subject of the Presi dent’s conduct. All of them with one ac cord declared in 184 1 that annexation was war, and all of them in the Senate, with the exception of Mr. Berrien and Mr. Evans, voted for the declaration of the existence of war. Why then abuse the President for what was sanctioned by the country and concurred in by themselves. There is another point in this speech which fbould come home to the bosoms of all true hearted democrats in these days of schism and strife in their ranks. “The present admini.-tra tion” lie says“has sustained with more ability and rarriedout with more fidelity the great prin ciples of the republican parly, than any we have had since I knew any thing of the govern ment, (we will add since the days of Jeffer- j ton) and if I differed from the President on ] the war on any collateral point, I should. , give the administration my hearty and earn est support.” It is melancholy to think that | the great and cardinal principles of republi- 1 cauism are to he pul in jeopardy by the per sonal predictions and factious Jealousies of their warmest supporters. We have an abid ing hope however, that when the danger is to be fronted —when the question is to be decided whether we are to have a federalist or republican for the successor of James K. Polk, that the clouds that lower upon our house wi I he “In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.” That those who are for Paul and those who are for Apollos—will put their hands and hearts to a covenant of peace among those w ho have battled it for years with va rious success—against the partizans of mo nopolys and privilege. Grn. Twigg*’ Sword. The numerous friends «>} the gallant Gen eral. will no doubt be pleased to learn, that the Sword intended to be presented to him, has been received, and can now be seen at the store of Messrs. Clark, Racketl &, Co., corner Broad and Mclntosh streets. We were yesterday gratified with an ex amination of it, and must say it does credit to the designer and manufacturer, and is a worthy testimonial of our citizens to a gal lant officer reared among them, and who has dune his country some service. The hilt of the sword is surmounted with a spread eagle, of solid silver, richly gilt— the eyes of diamonds. The grasp is compos ed of alternate gold and near!, inlaid with a : bise of Grecian leaves, chased in silver and richly gilt. The cross is of silver, gilt and ; chased, in the centre of which is a go d plate, on which is engraved—“ Texas, Bth and 9th : May, 1847.” The scabbard is of solid silver, richly carv ed and gilt, with bands and ornaments of so lid gold, and about midway, an inscription plate or tablet of solid burnished gold, on which is inscribed “to BRIG. GEN. DAVID L. TWIGGS, U. S. A. From the Citizens of Augusta." The bands are of silver, heavily gilt, and on the outside of the upper is set a large Amethyst. The blade is of the finest tempered steel, handsomely wrought, with etchings—nu one tide "Palo Alto" nod on the reverse “ Resaca de la Palma " Ifhe belt is finished to correspond with ll e sword, and is made of velvet, embroidered with fine gold, with solid silver gilt clasp, catch and sword hook. The sword chain, swivel and hooks, are extra heavy and com posed of solid silver heavily gilt. The belt plate is of silver, heavily gilt, the centre composed of burnished gold, on which is engraved the coat of arms of Georgia, sur rounded with suitable emblems. The whole is encased in a beautiful box of rosewood, handsomely finished, with brass bindings. Manufacturer, N. P. Ames, Springfield, Mass. Fire! Atxuit half past ren o’clock last evening the hells gave the alarm of fire, which was soon found to proceed from a small wooden shop or shed in the upper part of Green street. The shed was situated between two wooden buildings, one occupied by Mr. Townsend, and owned by Huxey, a free man of color, the other owned and occupied by Hoxey. Before assistance reached the spot, the shed was in full blaze, and soon communicated to the resi denceof.Mr. Townsend,and then to lloxey’s, and when the engines reached the scene, both build ings were in flames, and it was with difficulty tome of the furniture in them was saved, much injured. These buildings were surrounded by small wooden kitrhensand shantees.someof which were pulled down and others burnt. r l he value of lit- property destroyed is not much, and we believe th-re ua- no insurance —but small j as the loss is, itwil be seriously felt, as vve under- 1 stand it was Hoxey’s all, accumulated after many I years of hard labor, and that he is now in feeble health. Our engine companies deserve much credit for their exertions on this occasion, as water was 1 scarce in the neighborhood, and most of that used was conveyed through hose, from the cistern in i Broad-st re-.-l opposite Lamback’s Confectionery— ■ a distance of some five or six hundred yards. The I general remark was the efficient aid rendered hy I the Hamburg Company of firemen, who with a promptness characteristic of that company, were I j soon on the spot with their excellent engine—were j stationed at the fire, and did effective service, j This is not the first time they have crossed the | river, nor that their services have been apprecittl- \ ed by our citizens. In their behalf we take the liberty of returning them thanks, with the hope j that liie day may he far distant, w hen our fire de partment will be called on to give assistance j on a similar occasion to our sister city of Hamburg. Kail Hoad. The Columbus Times of the 23J inst,. says —“We learn that Engineers of the Ma con and Western Railway, are surveying the route, from BarnesviJle lo Flint river, and that that go-ahead company intend to com plete the new road in a year. If so, Colum. bus must suffer in her trade every day that our end <j the line remains unconneclad with that at the Flint. If Columbus lias got cither sense or spirit, now is the time to show it by promptness and vigor. Every man in the community is interested in this matter—let every one contribute, much or little, accord ing lo bis ability.” Capt. Eli Hathaway, late of the schr, George, was arrested at New Orleans on the 18th inst. having in his possession live hun dred counterfeit Mexican dollars. The Delta says llie prisoner was seen coming from the schooner, and on being searched, a quantity of the spurious coin was found secreted on his person. On examining the cabin, three hun dred dollars more were found, and Hathaway was arrested. These dollars are the best imi tations that we have seen for a long time, but | may be detected by the ring, the freshness cd i workmanship, and the letters U and P, in tire , word -Republica” being out of line. In the word "L bertad,” too, the letter T is higher | than the R. They are made of a chemical ! compound somewhat resembling glass, and covered over with a silver coating not thicker than fine letter paper. It is said they were made in Boston, and intended for the 'J’exas I market, and as there is no knowing to what extent they may have been circulated, the ( community should be on the look-out to de led them. Hathaway was found guilty, and remanded back to jail to await his sentence. [Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.] I TW£Ni h.NLVJ.iI CONGRESS, SECOND SESSION. Washington, Fob. 22, 1547. fcENATE. The resignation of Mr Evans, as a regent ;of the Bmit!isonian Institute, was revived | and accepted. The Vice President appoint j ed Mr. Pearce lo fill the vacancy. 1 'Hie Vce President laid before the Senate ] I a letter from John P. lleiss, one ol the print- I ; erg «»f the Senate, staling that he is a proprie- j tor and business partner, and not an editor of I | the Union, and inquiring whether it was the I | inteirion ol the Senate to include him in the j i resolution recently passed, j Mr. Mason presented resolutions of the Virginia Legislature, in favor of a vigorous j prosecution of the war, and thanking the Pres dent lor the able manner in which lie j has hitherto conducted it. On motion of Mr. Benton, the bill to or i gainze tite ten regiments with divisions and I brigade l , was taken tip.* An amendment sinking out that, part of J the 5 It section, which author zes the Presi- I dent lo fill vacancies caused by the resigna- I tion or death of officers in the several volun teer regiments, wasagreed lo by a vote ol 27 j to 17. After the consideration of other proposed amendments, the hill was reported to the Se j nate. It will probiblv pass to-morrow. The considerat ion ol the three million bill j was then resumed. Mr. Soule having the floor, spoke at great j length, and with much force and eloquence, in support of the policy of the Administration with regard to the war When I e had con. chided, a brief explm ition took place be tween M r. ('a>s and M r. J. M .Cla vton, in rela tion to the alleged suppression of a part of Mr. Marsh’s letter to Mr. Buchanan, when, Mr. i Evans having the floor, the Senate went into i exeentive session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 'Piie bill making appropriations for the snp ! port of the army and volunteers for the year ; ending 3Uih June, 1848, and for other pur poses, occupied the attention of the House in 1 committee of the whole, tfle entire day. The committee was addressed by Messrs. Wm throp, Pendleton, Darrah, J. R. ingersoll and Col lamer. Mr. Wintbrop offered as an amendment, three provisos: First. That the President shall only ex pend a proportionate amount of the money appropriated—about thirty millions—during each quarter of the time through which the i bill runs. Second. That all money unexpended when the next Congress meets, shall bo sub- | ject to their reconsideration and revocation. Third. That these appropriations shall not be considered as sanctioning the acquisition of territory, to be formed into new States, or the dismemberment of Mexico in any degree. The committee rose and reported progress 1 at nearly five o’clock, w hen an excited dis cussion took place in regard to a charge now made by Mr. Morris, of Ohio, against the committee on public lands, relating to their acting on some bill recently reported.- A committee of five was moved lo investi gate the matter, and then the House adiourn ed. ‘ I _ i - * : IKr Mr. Editor — Please announce Dr. I.

[Corresonndeni e of the Baltimore Patriot.] NEW \OKlv, F. b. ue. d p. m,—The Slock market to-day was dull with a declining tendency. Transactions moderate. Since the reception of the foreign advices by' the Cambria, the Flour and Grain markets h ive been altogether unsettled. No transactions have yet i taken place to fix a price. ( The Grocery market is more active, and prices ! are tending upward. Sales of both Rio an i La- I gu ivra Coff-e at an average of 74 cents per lb. The weather lias been vvel and very disagree j able. NEW ORLEANS Feb. 20 Co<ton.~ Arrived , since the JGtb inst., 14.195 bales. Cleared in the same time 6372 bales—m iking an addition to stock of 7823 bales, ami leaving on band, inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared on the 19th instant, a stock of 233.255 halos. On Wednesday, soon as cr the arrival of ibe m til, the springing up of a very active demand for breads!lifts gave indication tbnf later news was in ! the hands of private parties, by express, and that though favorable for these articles it was supposed to be unsatisfactory for cotton.as#nly about 1200 liah-H wer- dispo-ed of during the Tax’, at drooping prices. On Thursday ibe mail came through, with Baltimore papers, containing a telegraphic an nouncement of ilie arrival of the Sarah Sands at New York. But the only remark in regard lo cot ton was that ttie market was doit, conveyin'*, of course, nothing definite or satisfactory, and as all were waiting for more full particulars through the commercial circulars and correspondence. the cot ton market here was at a complete, stand, only about 700 bales having found purchasers. Yester day the failure of the miil from bevond Washing ton prevented our merchants from receiving their correspondence, and again left them in suspense in regard to the actual position of the markets abroad. After ihe receipt of these advices some few lota were disposed of in our market, amount- ■ ing in all to about 809 bales, at irregular priees, 1 hut generally at rates which exhibited a reduc tion of fully 1 a lo from those that were current in the early part of last week, low middling to good middling having been sold at 9? a IGfc per lb.— Subsequ-ntly, however, it was rumored that ad vices of a more definite character were ia the city, and upon enquiry we found that a passenger who left New York in the steamer Southerner, for Charleston, bad arrived here in advance of the mail, bringing a copy of the New York Journal of Commerce of the 1 Ith inst., which contained full details of the foreign intelligence by the Sarah Sands, and which he placed in the hands of the. edit >r of the Commercial Times. When it was understood that accounts of ibis character were at hand buyers appeared to w ithdraw from th u mar ket entirely, ami all parties are looking with in tense interest to the mail of this morning for more ample a id reliable details, through their private correspondence, &c Under these circumstances, j therefore, there could not. at the close of yester day, be said to he any market, and vve have found it necessary to omit quotations altogether until a more definite and settled position shall be attain ed. The total sales of the past week only sum up | 930" 1 bales, of which 27c0 have been disposed of witliin the past three days, taken mostly for Eng land and the Continent, Freights —The freight market has remained to]- ; erably firm since our last report, though with but I little activity, as there has not been much cotton offering.
