CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
A UGUSTA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER
f neighbor Guieu ot the Constitutionalist,
who is at Milledgcville in attendance upon the
session of the Legislature, seems to think the State
House a Lunatic Asylum. Wo arc not sure
lie is nearer right in this matter than he is in a
great many others.
The following gentlemen were on the 3d inat.
elected Directors of the Bank of Augusta, fur the
ensuing year :—John Moore, A. W aterman, J.
Carmichael, James Fraser, Win. Gumming, John
Bones, John Edgar, Samuel Clarke, Artemas
Gould, James McDowall, Robl. A. Reid, James
W. Davies, James Harper.
At a meeting of the Board yesterday, John
Moore, Esq. was unanmously re-elected Prcsi
' dent.
State of Parties in the next Congress.
The Baltimore Patriot, a Whig paper, states
|| the result of the recent elections for Congress,
W , in 15 States, to he Whigs 77, V. Burenites 69,
P ' said estimates the result in the remaining 11 States
(including one vacancy in Massachusetts,) at
Whigs 54, V. Burenites 82, making in all Whigs
141, V. Burenites 101, and thus giving to the
Whigs a majority of 40.
[We think the above calculation decidedly ex
travagant. It is probable the Whigs will have a ma
jority, hut nothing like 40. —En. Citron. & Sen.]
Michigan.
Crary, the Van Burcu candidate for Congress,
in Michigan, is elected by a majority of about
one hundred, and the Van Burcn men have a
small majority in the State Legislature.
From Halifax.
Captain Bangs, of the schooner Wyoming,
from Halifax, arrived at Boston, reports that when
he left on the 15th iust., all the British troops in
Halifax, were under orders for Canada.
An individual, lately deceased, in the interior
, of the Stale of New-York, has bequeathed to
“ The TaylorcsscS and Soamtresses Society of
Philadelphia,” the sum of live thousand dollars,
to he paid in annual instalments of one thousand
dollars.
A young girl sixteen or seventeen years of
age, committed suicide at Ncw-Orleans, by jump
ing into the river from on board the Siamese,
cause and name not known.
Another Boundary Question.
The county of Miller, in Arkansas, or the
greater portion of it, lies within the district of
country which is in dispute between the United
States and Texas. An act was passed at the last
session of the Legislature of Arkansas, to extend
the jurisdiction of the State over the disputed
territory, hut the citizens of Miller utterly refused
to render obedience to the laws of Arkansas and
the United States, preferring to he attached to
Texas. Not an officer, elected under the laws
of Arkansas, would serve. Thus the matter
stands and probably will, until the question of
boundary is settled between the two governments.
Exclusive of Miller county, the population of
the State, according to a recent census, amounts
to 69,710.
Brunswick and Florida Railroad.
The Brunswick Advocate of the 29th ult.
states that Moncurc Robinson, Esq., of Philadel
phia, has accepted the appointment of Chief En
gineer of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad,
and that he was expected to arrive at that place
on the Ist inst.
The Advocate adds: “We congratulate the
Company in securing the services of so able and
competent an Engineer to take charge of this
most important work. The high standing of Mr
R. in his profession, is well known in this coun
try, and his name alone is sufficient to give cha
racter to any work with which it may be con
nected.
The Engineers already arc mostly' on the
ground, and the building of the Brunswick and
Florida Railroad, one of the most magnificent
works ever started in this country,"may now be
said to have fairly commenced. Success to the
work and its energetic and highly accomplished
projector.
Brunswick & Alutamaha Canal.
This Canal, says the same paper, it gives us
pleasure to inform our readers and all interested
in the success of Brunswick, is in successful pro
«jd?resS > notwithstanding those fictions of the brain
Jr' in the shape of “quicksands,” which have been
so much talked about. The location of this Ca
nal is in much the same country as is that of the
Savannah and Ogechec Canal, and from the be
ginning it might he fairly presumed that if the
latter could be excavated, the former might, with
equal success. We understand that about 1,000,-
000 cubic yards remain to he excavated and that
the Canal is now dug to grade at various parts of
the route.
Tlic Attakupas Gazette says : tho frost expe
rienced some time since throughout this stair has
greatly injured the crop of cane. On many of the
Attakapas plantations, it lias been thought advi.
sable to cut down the whole of the ranc, in order
to preserve it from further injury. The conse
quence now will be, an immense falling off in the
yield anticipated at tho commencement of the
grinding season. The sugar made, however, is
of an excellent quality.

Loss of the Steamer Gen. Brou n.
The following additional particulars, in relation
to the loss of the steamer Gen. Brown, has been
furnished the New Orleans Picayune, by a pas.
sengor on board the Empress, arrived at that place.
As the Empress, Capt. Russell, was passing
Helena, and within a few hundred yards of the
Gen. Brown, then lying at the wharf, the boilers
of the latter hurst with a tremendous explosion,
scattering fragments of the boat, passengers, and
the limbs of passengers in every direction. The
Brown was just leaving the wharf, having cast
off her ropes when the accident took place. If is
said that the engineer on duty at the time escaped
unhurt, but the captain, mate, and pilot were in
stantly killed. As yet we have heard no satis
factory cause given for the accident, although ru
mors are afloat that the Brown had on a great
head of steam, and was trying to heat the Em
press.
Capt. Russell immediately put about, and ren
dered every assistance in his power in extinguish
ing the (lames, as the wreck took fire immediate
ly after tho explosion. Six or seven blacks on
tlw foiecastle of the Brown were saved by his
timely aid and that of several of his passengers.
■l*l
Although the people on shore warned them not
to approach, staling there was powder on hoard,
they still braved every danger, and succeeded in
arresting the flumes. Our informant gives the
names of several individuals who exerted them
selves in the most praiseworthy manner. He
particularly mentions a young man from Grand
Gulf, named I Imtnpson : Robert McConnell, the
clerk of the Drown, and Mr. Atherton, of \ icks
hurg, who were fortunate enough to escape, as
having rendered signal serv ice in extinguishing
the flames, saving the cargo, and assisting the
wounded.
AVe have learned that the powder which was
on board the boat, had been landed previous to
her arrival at Helena.
From several pcrsMts who were witnesses of
the disaster, we learn that the explosion was tre
mendous, anil that fragments of the boat, human
bodies, limbs, &e. &e. were thrown hundreds of
feet in the air, and presented a most awful spec
tacle. We forbear, at present, making anv com
ments upon this dreadful calamity.
The following is a I'.t of the passengers on
board taken from the Registerofllte Gen. Drown,
together with the names of those killed and woun
ded :
S. Clark, Captain ofthe boat, dead.
Basil Donstecl, Ist. mate, dead.

Tire following resolutions have been introdu
ced into the Senate of our Stale Legislature by
Col. King, of Glynn.
W herons, it lias been clearly shown in the re
ports of our commercial conventions, that the
Southern States pay a tax of at least twenty-five
per cent, on their commercial exchanges, or more
than twenty millions of dollars per annum, in
consequence of their being conducted through cir
cuitous channels, and that a direct export and
import trade with foreign nations is bf the most
vital importance, nut only to the prosperity of
these states, but to the safety and stability of their
institutions;
And whereas, it has also been shown that the
operations of the two banksofthe Lnitcd States,
which have existed forty years since 1791, in
connexion with the fiscal action of the General
Government, have aided in effecting the com
mercial degradation of the southern States, and
that if they would relieve themselves from this
oppressive dependence, they must bring into ac
tion a money power of sufficient magnitude to re
sist and counteract the extensive financial ar
rangements of the large banking institutions of
New York and Philadelphia ;
And whereas, the works of internal improve
ment now in progress in these States, will, when
completed, produce the most active intercourse,
and establish a system of interchange with the
west ntrd south-west, giving to those extensive
and fertile regions a vapid and cheap eommunica
tion with the ports of the southern Atlantic coast,
and consequently cause the vast amount of their
• imports to pass through the same channels, there
by rendering necessary a uniform currency, and
financial arrangements commensurate with our
sterling and domestic exchange, and the exercise
of banking capital of sufficient amount to attain
these ends, and furnish to our merchants the ne
cessary accommodations and facilities, to enable
them to reclaim and conduct successfully our ex
tensive commerce;
And whereas, concert of action on the part of
the Slates immediately interested in these great
objects, will be most likely to produce the desired
result ;
Be il I her (fire Resolved, <jr., That it is neces
sary to the commercial independence and prospe
rity of the southern and south-western States,
that a bank be established by them, with a capital
large enough to meet all the wants of their exten
sive commerce, and regulate their sterling and
domestic exchanges.
2. Resolved, That the capital of said bank
ought to be equal it! Siuount to the expense of
the States eoneemed in its establishment; that
at least one half of the capital allotted to each
State, be subscribed for and owned by each State,
and the other half by the citizens thereof; and
that the stock subscribed by the States, be paid
for in certificates of State stock, or State debt,
and not to bear interest until disposed of by said
bank.
3. Resolved, That the amount of stock sub
scribed in each State, ought to be exercised in
said State, in one or more branches of said bank,
unless otherwise directed by said State.
4. Resolved, That the charter of said bank
ought to be so framed as to permit any State to
withdraw its capital therefrom, and that any
State, not having first taken an interest therein,
bo permitted to do so on the satire terms as the
original subscribers.
•>. Resolved, That live commissioners be ap
pointed by his Excellency the Governor, to meet
in the city of Augusta, on the first Monday in
April next, and act with such commissioners as
may be appointed on the part of other States, to
frame a charter for said bank, & report on the ex
pediency and objects of such an institution, which
charter and report shall be laid before the Legis
lature of the States represented, for their consi
deration and action.
0. Resolved, That a commissioner be appoint
ed by the Governor to bear this preamble and
these resolutions, to each of the following Slates,
whose Legislatures arc now in session, viz:
Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, and
the Territory of Florida.
7. Resolved, That copies of this preamble and
these resolutions, be forwarded by bis Excellency
the Governor, to each of the southern and south
-1 western Slates.

From the N. F. Commercial Advertiser, Nov. 30.
Lower Canada.
We have the Montreal papers of. Saturday.
They contain no tidings of renewed disturbances
in any part of the province, but their contents arc
of much interest.
In the Gazette of Thursday were published four
additional ordinances; one declaring that in all
cases of judgment to death, by court martial, un
der the ordinance authorizing the same, it shall
have the effect of an attainder upon the estates
and property of the parlies sentenced—without
prejudice, however, to the rights of creditors.
The second attaches the guilt and punishment of
felony to the administration of oaths for treasona
ble purposes, and to the joining or becoming a
member of any secret association, after the pro
mulgation of the ordinance, except lodges of free
masons, duly erected and constituted under a war
rant from the grand master of any lodge in Great
Britain or Ireland. The third extends the provis
ions of the two preceding, and other ordinances
for the suppression of rebellion, to the district of
St. Francis. The fourth ordinance confirms cer
tain ordinance)) to which, at the time of their pas
sage, the great seal of the province was not at
tached.
It appears that the legality of the suspension
of the habeas corpus in the district of Quebec,
has been called in question by the counsel of cer
tain prisoners, and decided against by two of the
judges, in consequence of which the prisoners
have been discharged. On this subject the Mon
treal Herald thus discourses:
Information has been received in town that the
objections raised by Mr. T.. C. Aylwin against
the legality of the suspension of the act of habeas
corpus in the district of Quebec, have been de
clared by the judges to be valid, and (bat Conolly
and Teed, for whom Mr. A. appeared, will be
forthwith discharged. Mr. Justice Bowen de
clined appearing on die bench, and the court was
consequently composed of .Mr. Justice Bedard
and Mr. Justice Panel. If the ordinance was ille
gal so far as the district is concerned, it ought to
tie made legal without any delay. It was reported
yesterday afternoon, that -Sir John Colborne and
the Special Council had suspended these two
judges from office. We do not know how far tills
is true, but we know that Mr. Justice Bedard, the
father of the infamous ninety two resolutions,
ought to have had a different suspension years ago,
and if report speaks true, Mr. Justice Panel has
long merited a similar fate.
The inactivity of the court martial is accounted
for by the inability of the solicitor general to j
leave Quebec, in consequence of which another [
gentleman learned in the law has been appointed i
to assist the judge advocate—and this gentleman, I
it appears, is suspected of a leaning in favor of i
the accused.
The passengers on board the steamboat Henry
Brougham, who were made prisoners In- the rebels,
liuvi' presented a piece of plate, with a letter of
thunks), to the euro ot Beauhnrnois, for the kind
ami hospitable treatment they experienced at lux
hands.
From the Herald of Saturday,
We are glad to perceive that some of the
American authorities are alive to a sense of their
duty, and we have much pleasure in giving pub
licity to the following :
tin the evening of the 10th hist, the officer in
command of the United States troops at Fort (*ov
ington was informed that a hand of sympathizers
was forming there, for tin 1 purpose of crossing
the frontier and hurning Dundee, in the absence
of the volunteers. He instantly dispatched a
company to guard the avenues leading to Dundee,
wh.eh movement effectually prevented the intend
ed attack. ('olonel Davidson, commanding tin
Huntingdon Volunteers, addressed a letter of
