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. Extract of a letter to a gentleman in Charleston, dated, St. Ai’GvsTr.NE, Nov. 25. “Last Sunday night the Indians stole two hor ses frem the stables at Fort Hanson, since that, they have killed four or live families in the neigh borhood of Alachnai and one near Black Creek consisting of twelve persons.” Proceedings of Connell.

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. Hamilton MeCrae, pilot, legs and arms broken. ,Mr. \\ ilson, bead engineer, dead. Elijah Ensign, 2d engineer, life despaired of. Eli Johns, 3il engineer, life despaired of.

Among the passengers in the ladies cabin vve notice the names of Mrs. M. Wilson and servant and Mrs. E. W ilson of Montgomery. Mr. King and family, bound to Natchez. Two passengers were entered for the letter T. who have not since been heard of. 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. a r—— n run a Extracts Imm the correspou lencc of the Con stitutionalist, dated lUM.I,*II(ItVIkLK, Dec. 1.

This report corroborates the statement I made, in one of my letters, of the actual situation ol tin’ public treasury. In my statement I did not consider the surplus revenue received from the federal government ns funds of the State; the committee considers it otherwise than 1 did. The committee deserve credit for the report. Extract from liov, butlers Message, in relation to the situation of the bunks in South Carolina. J lie bank of the State, well and judiciously conducted,continues as heretofore, to lie a source of advantage to the people, and profit and conve nience to the country. Fora full and detailed statement of the affairs of this Institution, 1 beg leave to refer you to the President's repoit, which is herewith submitted. The licit profits of the last year are one hundred and ninety-six thousand five hundred and thirty dollars, ($190,530.) A great impediment to the freedom of its operations, lias been removed, by the general resumption of specie payments. For the condition of the linnncesof the State, and of the. surplus revenue received from the General Government, you arc respectfully refer red to the report of the Comptroller-general, Os the allairs of the State Banks generally, 1 have obtained returns, the substance of which is presented to your consideration in a condensed report.

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.
