Po»f Mavlei Gcii.—Attioii V. Brown* I be Republican Banner & Nashville Whig, Know Nothing Pajier published in Nashville, eim., makes a desperate attempt in its issue t the “Ttli ult., to lie severe on Ex-Governor ruttii, of Tennessee, the present worthy ’nit Master General. He speaks of him as a aspirant for the Presidency, and as endcav- iug to pave his way to this honorable posi- •ii. by proposing mail routes to China, South •ui-riea, and the Ncrth pole by way of the lien. Exjierience is a dear school, but some jcu will not learn even in that. The editor ku pcuneil the article under consideration n> pioljably heard of one Gen. Andrew Jack- on. who, if we mistake not, in days of yore inil in the region of country somewhere ibout the vicinity of his location. Well this iiii-iable patriot was reviled, abused and rid dled by the same party to which this verita- >le editor belongs. Yet the people of the iiitcii States appreciating bis talents, bis pat- iotibin and his eminent public services, twice llccted him to the chief magistracy of the I niti-il States, by triumpliant majorities. In Miti times one James K' Polk, sprung up in L-uiu sst-e, and the people of this country mlight him out to iill tlie station so lionora- bly occupied by bis illustrious predecessor from the same State. Vet the Editor of the iiaiiii.-r & Whig, or his confreres, asked “who h James K. Polk ?” The people answered in tniics of thunder, “President of the United tales.” For all we know however, the Ed- itm of the “ Banner and Whig,” may be an Andrew J. Donalson sort of man, a Know Nothing Democrat. If this be so, he did’nt ask tin- question above mentioned. This sar- easm against Gov. Brown, may result in the same way, as that which was so furiously burled strainst the lion. James K. Polk, who "as the law partner of Gov. Crown, his pre •1' - -sor in Congress, and who held him as "i"- <il his confidential advisers in the Admin- iftiati.,n Hi the Government. Hence we infer (: "v. Brown’s aspirations to the Presidency, nay out he so small a thing as the “ Banner ,v "hit.'.” would have its readers believe. He uruy have to ask “Who is Aaron V. Brown?” aid tin- people may as in the case of James K 1’oik, hurl into his tdetli the same answer. 'Hie jicojile of this country “might go much farther-anil fare worse,” than to make this Jistiiiguislied Tennesseean the chief magis- huie of this Union, with all due deference to *ke prejudiced opinions of our Nashville jeo- [Viuporary., Sej[ur Manufactory. h will be jierceived from the advertisement 'n Mr. H Muhlenbrink, that he is extensively ' ‘‘f'U'i-d j u the manufacture of Havana Segars.

Ntearagw K migrants. Julius Hkssbe & Co., in a card in the Mobile Register, of Sunday last, state that the trip of the Alice Painter to Nicaragua having been abandoned, in consequence of the refusal of the government to grant a clearnuce to the vessel, all persons who hold tickets for passage are requested to present them and receive back their passage money. DtaerlnUnatlon In Freights. This, for sometime past, has been a fruitful source of complaint, to the people of Atlanta. One of our most prominent merchants, inform, ed us yesterday evening, that he was author ized to say, that Gov. Brown would visit this place, as soon as the press of his official duties would permit, and in consultation with Dr. Lewis, the Superintendent of the State Road, would do al! in his [lower to remedy this evil, and do justice to the people of Atlanta. The Will of the late D. Dempsey, of Macon, 6a. In the last issue of the Macon Journal and Messenger, we find a communication over the signature of Thomas C. Dempsey, only son aud sole executor of tlie will of his father, de nying the charge published by certain prints, (most of them of the Know Nothing stripe,) that the late D. Dempsey liad bequeathed his large fortune to the Catholic Church, thereby disinheriting his family. We are not aware that we published the rumor, we think we did not ; and therefore shall not publish the communication according to the request of the writer. We are gratified however to liave the opportunity of contradicting the false charge, and to say to the public tliat Mr. Dempsey left tlie Catholic Church nothing, but left his whole estate to his family. Counterfeit Bills. Two Bills of the denomination of Fifty Dol. lars each, on the Georgia Railroad and Bank ing Company, were passed ujkjii two of our merchants in this city, a day or two since, which have been pronounced counterfeit. They have been examined by Mr. Brown, Agent of the Bank in this place, who gives it as his opin ion, that they are spurious. We examined one of the bills, ourself, and compared it with an other bill of the same denomination, known to be genuine, and we must confess that we could see no difference, cither in the engraving or the signatures, but the spurious bill was slightly longer and wider than the genuine, and tlie pa. per appeared somewhat different. The coun terfeit, if it be one, is certainly very ingenious, and well calculated to deceive almost any one, This is the first instance that we-have known* of the bills of the Georgia Railroad and Bank ing Company, being counterfeited, 'i he person who jiusse I the bills, represented himself as being a traveler from Mississippi. We hope all proper efforts will lie used, to bring him to con dign punishment. Messrs. Beacli & Root. We took occasion, yesterday, to look through the large and commodious Store of these gen tlemen, situated on Whitehall Street. They have just completed one of the handsomest buildings, to be found in the Southern coun try. It is built of brick, four stories high, with iron front, cast after the latest style of archi tectural ornaments. The length of the build ing is 120 feet, width 50 feet. The first and second stories are divided in the middle, and make too capacious store rooms. One occnpi. ed by Messrs. Herring & Son, as a Clothing Store, and the other by Messrs. Beach & Root, as a wholesale and retail Dry Goods Store. The stock of these last named gentlemen, usually averages from sixty to eighty thousand dollars; but as the wholesale trade of our city increas es, they can keep a stock to the amount of two hundred thousand dollars, when the de mands of the trade shall require it, as we ex pect it will, in the course of a year or two Their present stock consists of every variety of goods in their line, of the best quality, and which they are offering at prices as low as can be bad in any other store in Georgia. These gentlemen having invested twenty thousand dollars in the erection of a building which i s an ornament to our city, and opened a busi" ness calculated to supply the increasing de maud for goods in the up country, arc entitled to the “reward of merit,” for their commeud- able efforts to build up tlie city of Atlanta, and establish tlie commercial independence of up per Georgia. We would not fail to mention, tiiat Mr. Dill, a justly celebrated Daguerrian Artist, occupies the third story over Messrs. Beach & Root’s Store. Every one coming to Atlanta to trade, should never leave the place, without visitiug the magnificent Stove of Messrs. Beach & Root. Election or Jadgr of tht Superior Co art. It may not be known to onr readers gener ally, that the election of Judge of the Superi or Court of the Coweta Circuit, comes off on the first Monday in January next. Such, how ever, is the fact. It will be perceived, by ref. erence to our columns, that Judge Bull, the present incumbent, has announced himself os a candidate for re-election. Judge Bull has presided over the courts of this circuit, for sev eral years past, and so far as we know, has giv en very general satisfaction, by his urbanity, fidelity, impartiality and ability. It is for the people to say, whether his administration shall be endorsed, by a re-election without opposi tion, or whether they prefer another. Hardware, Cutlery, Stoves, die. By reference to our advertising columns, it will lie perceived, that Messrs. McArthur, Burr & Wadsworth, offer to the public, a large and well selected stock of goods in their line, which is indicated by the heading of this article. Wc took occasion, yesterday, to drop in and exam ine their establishment. Their store rooms are 150 feet long, and 25 feet wide, basement sto ry occupied for manufacturing purposes, the second story as a sales room. Their stock i large and well assorted. Scarcely anything in their line can be called for, which they cannot furnish. The building which they occupy, was erected by this firm, adjoining the beauti ful structure of Messrs. Beach & Root, and is three stories high, built of brick. The cast ings for the iron front, were put up at the foundry of Messrs. Winship & Co., in this city, and are both beautiful and substantial. This is another one of the institutions of our young and growing city. These gentlemen; are well prepared to furnish any quantity ot goods in their line, which the wants of mer chants, or individuals, may require, in the up country. Their stock of Cutlery aud Hard ware is very extensive and well assorted, of the best quality and sold on the most reasonable erms. These gentlemen deserve credit, for their efforts to promote tlie commercial impor tance of Atlanta, and are entitled to the pat ronage of tlie friends of our city, in all the neighboring country. N. B. If any gentleman, resident in Savan nah, Augusta, Macou, or any other place in Georgia, will visit our eity, and say upon hon or, that they have anything in those towns or cities, which can beat the establishment of Messrs. M. B. & W., then they can have a treat at our expense, from the size of a glass of Lem onade, to a basket of Champagne. Atlanta Papers. Wonder if they liave any newspapers in At lanta now ? or have they all failed, as most thiugs do in Atlanta. We have been sending our paper to the names of papers that were published in that city some time since, as we have not been honored (?) with a visit from either of them, we suppose they are defunct. Wc clip the above from the Waynesbor- ough News. We were not aware that the “News,” had not been placed on our ex change list, until tlie alove notice was handed us by our book keeper, who happened to cast his eye upon it. Waynesborougli is a sort of out of the way place, any how, and we had no idea thatony man capable of conducting a pa per would ever have attempted to publish one iu the little old dilapidated place, of Waynes- borough. We ought not, however in due respect to ourselves an<Lour city, to exchange with our Waynesborougli cotemporary, on account of the ungenerous, illiberal anduu- founded charge by inuendo, contained in the above extract that “most things fail in Atlan ta.” Our cotemporary is very much mista ken about things failing in Atlanta. If he would only leave for a few days, the sedge fields, pine thickets, and deep gullies of old Burk, and pay our city a visit, he would liave his eyes opened about the growing importance of Atlanta and all the institutions connected with it. Why friend News if you could only see our new Presses and Engine at work, you would be astonished. Come up, and we will put yon through. ||P The Methodist Church South consists of 23 Conferences, 2,267 traveling preachers, 167 superanuated and 4*907 local preachers.— 404,420 white members. 62,231 white proba tioners, 177.910, colored members and proba tioners, and 4,366 Indian members, &c.,—to tal membership 656,777, an increase- over last year of 12,069. Young Men'll ClirUlInn Association of Atlanta. This Association was organized on tlie 2nd Sabbath of last May, with 133 members. It now has about 150 members, with a Library of 300 or more volumes. The Library Room is open every day in tlie week, except Sabbath. Ail evangalical denominations are represented in this association. Those who are disposed, can do themselves credit, by contributing good books to this institution, and confer a lasting favor on the young men of this city. This is a noble enterprise, and we hope it will be well sustained. The managers of tlie Association propose, from time to time, to secure some of the ablest men in the country, to deliver Lec tures to our young men. We are informed, that Judge Nesbet of Ma con, Prof. H. 11. Tucker of Mercer University, and President Sassnett of Lagrange, have al- reijdy promised to address the Assoeiation. We hope tlie citizens of Atlanta will generally at tend these lectures, and we are confident, if sucli Lecturers as those named above, favor our citizens with their addresses, that the people of Atlanta will be well paid, by giving the As sociation a liberal patronage. We favor such associations. Young men will liave some en tertainment, and if the religious portion of the community, do not interest themselves in providing wholesome entertainment for the young, the evil one will secure too many of them; for he is ever ready to appropriate to his use, the rising generation. Young men of Atlanta, foster your association, and it will he to you a great blessing, and to our growing city, a valuable ornament. — Our Neighbor'll Star Spangled Banner. We must crave indulgence, of our neighbor of the American, for not having responded to his request made us some days since, to ex-. plain the “inappropriateness” of the “stars and stripes,” which so proudly float at his mast head. At the time we penned the article, to which he makes allusion, we werq generous enough to withhold an incident, which we now propose to give him, as expressive of our views in tlie premises. We have been disposed all along, to indulge our neighbor in his school boy fancies for “star spangled banners,” “spread eagles,” etc., and even had he extend ed his youthful proclivities to the flying of kites, we should probably have said not a word, but for the o '-arrence of the incident we give be low. a few mornings ago. An old friend of ours, Col. , from one of the upper^eounties, being on a visit to At lanta, was walking around, viewing the many improvements since he was last in town, when his attention was attracted to that same “star spangled banner,” as it was wafted to and fro by the morning breeze. It was a fond sight to gaze upon, and his bosom heaved with emo tions of patriotism. His thoughts at once ran through reminiscences of the past, for he had cause to recollect that banner in scenes gone by. With his feelings thus ’roused, he natu rally made the enquiry of a friend, standing near, wliat it meant, what place it was, etc. “That, sir,” replied the worthy citizen, “is the office of the National American newspaper!” With disappointment depicted in every feature, he turned to us exclaiming—“My God! gen tlemen, what a step from the sublime to the ri dicuious!” On onr expostulating with our friend upon his severity to our neighbor, we were interrupted by his continuing—“I can think of but one parallel to it, gentlemen, within my recollection, and that was perpetra. ted by a ten-year-old son of mine, who was preparing a fourth of July speech, for one of his school-fellows. He introduced his subject, something in this wise :— “Wealth by our labor, Independence by our sword— Honey in Ike bee-gum, Sugar in the gourd I thought at the time, that this was a pret ty good mixture of the sublime with the ridicu lous, but I yield the palm now!” We turned away, resolving to intimate to our neighbor, in the most delicate way imagi nable, that not only we, but others too, thought his banner peculiarly “inappropriate. ” ITnixtxnmd Anagrams.—One of those amu sing typographical blunders, to which the best regulated printing offices are subject, oc- enred, not long ago, in the derangement of the letters forming the title of a Western jour nal, “Star of the West,’* so that it read“Rats of the West,” A New York cotemporary says that one of its most respectable exchanges, “The Western Watchman,” came to it dated October 28th, with the letters of its heading thus ominously pied. ‘Watch the Western Man, MUXEDGEVILLE CORRESPONDENCE Milledgkvillk, Nov. 30, 1858. SENATE, Monday, 9j o’clock. Messes. Editors The Senate met accord ing to adjournment; Hon. T. L. Guerry, Pres ident of the Senate, in the Chair. The resolution was taken up to adjourn on the 10th of Decemlier. Mr Cone thought it would he time to pro vide for the adjournment when the tune ar rived. Mr Strickland desired to infomthe Senator, that all the members of tliat Body did not have the advantage of a Railroad at their doors, and that it was necessary to give notice before hand to their families, in order to be met by a conveyance to take them home. * Mr Whitaker thought that the large run of business on hand, would prevent the adjourn ment before the 13th. He was opposed also, to adjourning on Saturday night, as that would give mem here a plausible excuse for the viola tion of the Sabbath, for which he was sorry* to sav they were but too ready. The resolution was laid on the table for the pesent. SPECIAL ORDER. The special order for the day was then taken up, which was a bill to alter the Constitution so as to reduce the number of the members of the General Assembly, to ti from each Congres sional District, making 48 in the Senate, and one Representative from each County. The first question in order, was the amend ment of the Senator from Camden, which was, that not more than one Senator should come from any one county. Mr Fambro objected to the amendment, on the ground tliat in a Congressional District, as for instance those in which the cities of Savan nah and Macon were, there might be nomina ted by the different parties, two persons, both of whom might he elected. Then would diffi culty arise, as to which of the two would be entitled to hold the office. Mr Atkinson said it was true he had offered the amendment on which the gentleman had spoken, but on reflection he was opposed to the bill, and would before he closed, move that it and the amendment be laid on the table the balance of the Session. He thought that the bill would operate injuriously, particularly on those Districts, which like his, was composed of many counties. The 1st Congressional Dis trict for example, was composed of 2(3 coun ties, whilst other Districts in the State con tained but 8 counties. Again, there was another difficulty against the bill—the extent of territory that would have to be traveled over in order to canvass the district. So large was it in the 1st District, tliat none hut a rich man could travel over ami canvass it. It would therefore virtually ex clude every man of inferior means from ever coming to the Senate. He did not himself feel that he could canvass the District. He moved that the bill and its amendment lie on the ta ble the balance of the Session. Mr Paine said he was a plain spoken man, and that on this Bill he would speak his mind freely ; that he agreed with the Senator from Camden, and had other reasons why he should oppose the Bill. Those who formed the Con stitution of Georgia, intended that the Senate should represent territory, and the House of Representatives, population. He said there would he a great tight in Georgia on the great principle of State aid, and that until that great question was settled, he would never consent to surrender the power the sparsely populated counties had on this floor, and he called ou Senators representing such counties, to vote against this Bill, anil against reduction, till the balance of the session. Mr Paine said he was a plain spoken man, and therefore he would state that lie was op- |H>scd to the bill because lie represented a ter ritory that was large, while tlie population was small. It was the intention of the people in having two branches of the General Assembly, to conform to the example of the Congress of the U. S., and let one branch represent terri tory, and another, population ; and he would rot oh that floor before he would deny that principle to the people of Georgia, lie asked equal rights for himself and for all. Mr Cone followed on the same side. Mr Dawson thought tliat he could show, from the course of argument pursued by the Senator from Camden, that instead of the pro- Iwised reduction which the bill makes, being a a disadvantage to the 1st Congressional Dis trict, it would still leave it in possession of a great advantage over those other Districts which were composed of the greatest number of counties. Look for instance, at the 1st Con gressional District. It was composed, as had Iieen said, of 26 counties, and for these coun ties there were 6 representatives in the Senate. But how stands the case in the House. There they have 20 memliers, when his District, com posed as it was of but 8 counties, had but 8 Representatives. He knew that a bill for the reduction of officers was an unpopular one, hut believing that it would he to the best interest of Georgia, and would save to the Treasury of the State the per diem pay of 80 or 90 members, he was in favor of the bill. Mr Whitaker spoke against the change. He said the present system was the one adopted by the fathers of our constitution. A change had been made but for a short time, and the people had again demanded a return to the old system. Some objected to the number eom- jiosing the General Assembly, because the Halls were too small; if that be the case, let a new Capitol be built, here in Milledgeville, if the interests of the State required it; elsewhere, if those interests required. He had also seen it published, that there was too little dignity in this Body ; that there was but little more difference between the two Legislative bodies than this, that after the stairs had been ascended, one turns to the right, and tlie other to the left. It was his opinion, that the dignity of a body was very much in the power of the body itself. Il‘ there was too little dignity in the body, let Senators remedy the defect themselves. Certain it was, that the number did not cause tlie want of dignity. Mr West of Lowndes, called for the previ ous question, which being sustained, the main question, which was to lay on the table for the balance of the Session, was then put, and the yeas and nays lieiug ordered, were, Yeas 57 ; Nays 51. So the motion prevailed. Mr Gibson, on voting No, desired to explain that he was in favor of the call of a convention of the people of Georgia, to decide on this ques tion. Mr Stubbs voted No, because he desired that the bill should be kept before the Senate, in order that it might be ]ierfected, and not be cause he was in favor of the bill as it stood. BILLS ox THIRD READIKG. A bill to prescribe the method of foreclosing mortgages on real estate. Passed. A hill to authorize Justices of the Inferior Court to appoint Commissioners to settle dis puted County lines. On this bill a considerable discussion ensued, a part maintaining that it was an infringement of the Constitution ; a part look upon the time spent in legislating on such matters, an idle consumption of time by the Legislature, and still another part view the disputes about Coun ty lines, as an evidence of the prosperity of the State ; the increased value of lands. Mr Williams of Terrel, moved to lay tire bill on the table the balance of the Session. Agreed to. A bill to lay out and organize a new County out of the counties of Union, Fannin and Gil mer. To name this County, several propositions were made. Mr Bloodworth of Pike, proposed to call it Reid, the man, who though so poor, the King of England could not buy. Mr Mallard proposed to call it Allen, and re lated the history of Allen, who was drowned in escaping from the enemy. Mr Gibson proposed to call it Few, after the name of Ignatius Few, the founder of Emory College. The name of Few was chosen. Mr Yonng of Union, spoke eloquently and earnestly in favor of the new County. Some think from his tone that he is a preacher. I tn at he is, fer he would make a seal >us one. After he had taken his seat, Mr Reynolds rose with a face beaming with humor, and sptk: amid cbe2rs and plaudits, aff follows: Mr President, I am astonished at the earnest- reis with which the Honorable Sen itor, my friend from the county of Union, advocates this new C mnty. I had thought that the bill was intended as a burlesque on new county afflic tions ; for of all places upon the globe, it has fhe le ist dnhta The God of nature lias crea t’d that territory for the wild beasts of the for est. It never waa intended as the habitation of man. Notwithstanding the gentlemau states that there is some good b.dtom land on the creeks and rivers, does not the gentleman know that you could not ride up one of those bottoms 10 miles, without having to cross a creek or a river 20 times, to get level laud to ride your horse on. Mr Presiddent, what is the amount of taxes now pa|d bythe two counties of Union and Fan nin as they now stand, with the territory from which they propose to make a new county ? Why both of them pay into the State Treasury hut $1,100, and draw from it $3,000, actually receiving more for poor school and county pur poses, by $1,800, than they pay into the Treas ury ; and now they come here and ask you to make another county ! I cannot believe mv Honorable friend is in good earnest. It must be a burlesque. If we were to pass this bill, it would ruin him. He would not have it to pass for any consideration. The gentleman intends to look one way, and push another. Let us kill the bill of our friand, get rid of useless legislation, and gratify my Honorable friend, the Senator from Union. [Prolonged cheers and applause.] The bill was lost. A bill to authorize the issuing of garnish ments, in favor «f persons who have slaves in the possession of persons in non-slaveholding States. Made the special order of the day for Wednesday next. A bill to change the time of holding the Su perior and Inferior Courts of Sumpter and Chat tahoochee counties. Passed. A bill to provide for the more sjieedy rendi tion of fugitives from justice. Passed. A bill to authorize Hiram S. Creech, of the county of Screven, to practice medicine, and charge for the same. Accompanied with a pe tition from the eitizens of Screven county. On this bill there arose far more discussion than the merits of the bill would seem to have demanded. It was objected to grant licences, otherwise than as the laws now prescribe ; but inasmuch as the citizens made the request, the request was granted, bv a vote of Yeas 59, and Nays 42. A bill to authorize Samuel Wayne, of tlie county of Henry, to practice medicine on the Hydropathic system, and charge for the same. Lost; Yeas 42, Nays 47. The bill for the pardon of Burton Brooks, was made, at the request of Mr Hill of Harris, the special order for Thursday next. On motion, it was ordered that 300 copies of the report of .the Committee on the Lunatie Asylurn, lie printed for tlie use of both branch es of the Legislature. The Senate then adjourned. S. Tuesday, Nov. 30th, 1858. Editors of Intelligences : The Senate met according to adjournment. Mr. Shropshire- moved to reconsider so much of the action of the Senate as related to the loss of the bill for the re-election of memliers. Tne motion was lost by a vote of Yeas 53, Nays 59. Mr. Young of Union moved to reconsider so much of the action of tlicticnatc as related to the loss of the bill for making a new county out of tlie counties of Union, Fannin and Gilmer. Lost, Yeas 42, Nays 59. Mr. Roberts of Cobb asked for the suspen sion of rules to take up a House bill to grant a compensation of $3,000 to Thos. Highsmith of Marietta for the injury which he had received while in the service of the State vs. Conduc tor on the W. & A. R. R. Agreed to. The lull was the taken up anil passed. Yeas 91, Nays 16.

After the usual preliminaries, Shropshire of Chattooga moved to reconsider the loss of a hill to reduce the number of Senators and Repre sentatives. Bartlett of Jasper, announced that lie did not like the bill as it was, hut he wished & reconsideration that he might offer a substi tute. Whitaker of Fulton, was opposed to a re consideration and to a reduction. Thomas of Gwinnett, desired the question to lie reconsidered, he wished the question to be brought before the People. He was not “wed ded to this bill,” but let the people say whether they desire a reduction. This bill might be altered, it might he amended. He would vote to reconsider. Tlie motion to reconsider was lost by yeas 42, nays 59. The rules were suspended, to take up a bill for the relief of Thomas Highsmith, wlip lost bis leg in the service of the State, on W. & A. Railroad. The Clerk read the accident as follows, from the petition : “His eye was so severely mashed that it had to lie amputated.” Whoever draughted that hill must be a “blood relation,” of Rufus Cheate, Esq., con cerning whom the word “citizen,” when written by himself, was said to resemble a “grid-iron struck by lightning?” Gibson, of Richmond, addressed the Senate in favor of the bill. Also several other Sena tors made short addresses. The question was then raised by Cone of Bulloch, as to this being a donation ; if so, it required a two-tliird majority of both branch es to pass the law. Billups, of Morgan, who was in the Chair at the time, ruled that it was a donation—sta ting, at tlie same time, that he was not satis fied in his own mind; he desired the sense of the Senate to lie taken on the decision. The decision of the Chair was overruled, and the bill passed—yeas 91, nays 18. New Matter. Bell, of Warren, to allow deputy sheriffs to make titles to property in certain cases. Cooper, of Seriveu, a resolution requesting tlie Hon. Henry L. Benning and the Hon. Charles J. McDonald to resign their seats as Judges of the Supreme Court, on account of a certain decision. Cone, of Bulloch, a resolution that after Thursday no member shall speak longer than ten minutes on any question, except by tlie consent of two-thirds.

The Senate met and resumed the considera tion of the question of the reading the memori al &c. Slaughter of Dougherty withdrew his ob jection to it’s being read. After it was read Colquitt of Muscogee ask ed the permission ofthe Senate to have read a memorial from John A. Jones Esq. Some objection was raised. Wilcoxon of Coweta moved that 150 copies he printed for the use of the Senate. Tucker of Stewart opposed the motion with all of his force and eloquence. He ably defen ded Judge Benning. His closing remark was this : “Sir I have known Henry L. Benning for fourteen years and I will say that a more honest or upwriglit man God never let breathe the breath of life.” Spalding of McIntosh, did not desire to see gentlemen give this lick iu the back to such men as the Judges of the supreme Court. The motion to print was lost—yeas 38, nays 75. Williams of Berrien, to prevent the State’s subscription from being paid on tiie main trunk unless the directors run theTine as originally marked and surveyed. McDonald of Ware, to authorize the Gover nor to sell all lands around the Okefenokec Swamp. The rules were then suspended to take np a bill for the third reading to lower the rates of freights on iron on the Western & Atlantic R. R. Pending the action on the bill the Senate adjouned until 9J o’clock to-morrow. HOUSE. Tuesday Morning, Nov. 30, 1858. The substitute reported for all the bills was read, when Mr. Lewis of Hancock, offered two amendments, which he sustained in a short speecb, abounding in practical truths, which commended themselves to our judgment as eminently practical. Mr. Diamond of DeKalb, opposed the amendment on the ground that in some com munities many of the children had advanced in tlieir education, to a point where, by Mr. L’s amendment, they would be deprived of the provisions of the bill. Mr. Lewis withdrew tlie amendment and another amendment was offered by Mr. MU- ledge. Mr. Milledge’s amendment was agreed to. • Upon the adoption of the 1st section ofMr- Kenan's substitute, there sprung upon ani mated debate in which Messrs. Kenan, Irwin, Lewis, Colquitt, Smith of Towus and Pickett, participated. This first sec tion proposes to set aside annual ly $200,000 of the net earnings of the W. & A. R. R. to the payment of the public debt. The yeas and pays were called on the adoption of this section. The section was adopted. The second section was taken np. This provides that the babuicc of the net earnings of the W. & A. R. R. be applied to the reduc tion of the taxes of the people. Mr. Irwin offered to change the section, so as to appro - priate the balance of the net earnings .of the W. & A. R. R. to educational purposes. In a few pertinent remarks he advocated the adop tion Of the amendment. Pending the discussion of this amendment, Mr. Hillyer of Walton; having the floor, the House adjourned to 3 o’clock this afternoon. AFTERNOON SE8SION. The House resumed the discussion on Mr. Irwin's amendment. Mr. Hillyer having the floor said he should reserve his remarks until the proposition' came up to substitute this whole bill, for the substitute agreed to this morning. , Upon the call of the yeas and nays, the mo tion to strike out the second section prevailed. Yeas 81, nays 61. BILLS PASSED. To alter the charter of the city- of Milledge ville. The House adjourned to 9} o’clock, A. M., to-morrow. [The Cartorsv iUe Express Extra.) To the Cotton Growers of Georgia, and their Representatives at Mtltedgevtlte. The Iron products of Pennsylvania are an nually $22,000,000. This employs a capital of $5,000,000. It also gives employment and subsistence to &,- 000 working-men aud as many more women and children. The Cotton crop of Georgia is ’estimated at $25,000,000. The capital employed in Cotton-making in Georgia, estimating 4 bales per hand, and $10 per acre for the land, and other thingB in pip- portion, is $50,000,000 for land stock, Ac., $60,000,000 for negroes, making $110,000,- 000. This employs 125.000 negroes, besides ow ners, overseers, &c. The Iron crop of Pennsylvania, annually employing a capital of $5,000,000, and 5,000 men to work it, is nearly equal to the en tire crop of Cotton in Georgia ; employing a capital of $110,000,000 and 125,000 hands. Cherokee Georgia has Iron resources equal to Pennsylvania and physical resources to de- velope them. If developed, Cherokee Geor gia would make products nearly equal iu value to the Cotton products of the State. Without a Railroad, it cannot be de veloped. The difference to Georgia would be millions of Iron products besides those of the Farm, the Orchard, the Garden and the Dairy, for export, where she now imports, and pays for out of her Cotton crop. Tlie Statesmen who would an ticipate the grand spectacle, may sum np the items, fill out the picture, and gaze with ad miration. The difference to the W. & A. R. R., would be, the addition of freights from a R Road tra versing this .Iron region of Etowah Valley, equal to all the way stations besides put to gether. This is true, because four miles of this Road, just completed, now puts on and receives from the State Road, more freights than is at any other Depot, and as much as ten of the smaUer Depot put together. (See Dr. Lew s’ Report.) a Georgia now imports millions of dollars wotth of Iron and Iron products; millions al so of products of the Farm, Orchard, Garden Dairy. The Cotton pays for it. Make the Iron, Steel, &c., at home, as may be done, and she saves millions for investment instead of spending it. She adds to her taxa ble resources, instead of paying tribute to oth ers. She increases her population, ami retains men who would leave her. She multiplies strong arms and stout hearts for her defense, instead of feeding and enriching those who habitually abuse and revile her. Without this policy, what has she in pros pect but wornout soil and decaying institu tions ? Where are her means of defense ?— They are in Cotton bales and negroes. Their lungs and tlieir tongues—they are in pen, ink and paper. What is her resort bnt submission uncondi tional ? What Nation or People ever did oth erwise than submit, who were fed and clothed by others, and were even dependant on their oppressors for their axes and hoes, their plow shares, and their pruning hooks, as well as their swords, their guns and their powder ?— Who could tail to love and respect the land of the people who, in addition to all this, sells us our beef, our hay, our butter and cheese, our potatoes, onions and cabbages ? Would it not be wise to avail ourselves of this amiable trait of human character and af ford it a chance for exercise towards our mountain population ? The Cotton planters may answer ? A word to the wise is sufficient. The Statistics of Iron and its products con sidered relatively in regard to the South and the North are equally interesting. Virginia, North and South Carolina, Geor gia, Alabama, Tennessee aud Arkansas, (spy ing nothing of the vast resources of Texas,) have Iron Ore, equal in equality and more abundant, than all the Northern States togeth er. There are made in the United States, about 800,000 tons of Iron, which costs the consu mers $60,000,000. This much, and 500,000 tons more of foreign Iron, is consumed in the U. S. A total of 1,300,000 tons consumed, at a cost to the consumers of $97,500,000. Of this, there is consumed in the Southern States nearly one half, $40,000,000 worth. They produce comparatively but little, suppose $10,000,000 worth, 'i bis leaves $30,000,000 to hie annually paid her by the South for Iron, made by others. It is paid out of the Cotton crop directly or indirectly. The Cotton crop is equal to $150,000,000.— Of this $30,000,000 goes to pay for Iron.— How much more is paid for hay, butter, cheese, beef, apples, potatoes, cabbages, on ions, garden seeds and flower-roots, the mer chants can tell. And all of this is paid by the South, with better resources than the North, serving to insure onr dependence, to make us love, respect and submit to the North, whilst we feel anything but respect, regard or interest inorforour mountains and all that therein are. Annually, for 30 years, has the South, by its best bred gentlemen and ladies, in their richest costume—hat in hand—called on the North, leaving their cards. For 30 years these calls have not been re turned. Year after year we ring their parlor bel Is and leave our visiting cards. 'I'hey print our cards and make our bells—whilst we pay for the cards and bells—and ring ourselves. But the calls are not returned. What we get in return every one knows. At home, if wc call on a neighbor and he does not return it, self-respect forbids a sec ond call. For onr Northern neighbors we swallow our self-respect and repeat the call, and get our clothes and onr food, our offices and titles of Honor—on their own terms. If onr Statesmen are wise, they will stimu late the products of our Farms, our Orchards, Gardens and Daries—if not of the Iron and Mineral region. The Cotton Planter is inter ested in these matters and will reflect. Respectfully, MARK A. COOPER. South Carolina Polities. We copy the following from the letter o the correspondent of the Charleston Courier, who writes from Columbia, Nov. 29th : It is impossible to form any opinion as to the next Senator. The slave trade party are determined to elect their man if possible, and the opposition are determined to elect their man. Such a thing as a compromise is, therefore, out of the question. The Gubernatorial election is likely to be one of interest after all. Col. Gist, of Union, is spoken of very freely by the State rights party, and as they have one hundred and twelve votes (or claim to have) upon joint hallot, if they unite, Col. Gist’s election may be set down as a “fixed fact.” Tlie election for Secretary of State will also be warmly contested as there are several prominent can didates in the field, or rather in the legisla ture. The election for a United States Sena tor to fill the unexpired term of the late Sena tor Evans, has been postponed until the other Senator is elected. At present I incline to the opinion that one man will fill both places. We find the following result of the ballot- ings for United State Senator in the Columbia papers of the 1st Inst: Fourth.

Under this heading, the Lumpkin Palladi um contains an account of a most brntal out rage perpetrated upou our esteemed friend and- cotemporary, Dr. Blackburn, of the above named paper. To appreciate .properly the villainy of the dastard, who committed this deed, it is neeesaary to see Dr. Blackburn, and examine his diminutive bodily size, , which happily bears no proportion to his masterly intellect. Such a wretch, in the language of an acquaintance of ours, “would murder an infant at its mother’s breast.” We give the Doctor’s own account of the atrocity. On Tuesday night last, as the editor of this paper was returning home from the post office he was violently assaulted by some unknown hend in human form, with a stick aud feUed to the ground. The night was exceedingly, dark, which enabled the cowardly ruffian to escape detection, after perpetrating his hellish purpose. Bnt for a friend who was attracted to the spot by our cries for help, we to-day would have been sleeping our last sleep. That we have enemies, we are aware; but never dreamed that a man of our small and feeble frame would be assaulted in the daTk. An open enemy we always respect. There is something manly in the man who fearlessly tokes Ms position and presents an open front. Sneh an one we know whereto locate, and are not afraid to meet. Bnt a sneaking, cowardly rascal who, under the cover, of darkness, stealthily creeps behind his victim and as- saults him, we must confess we are afraid of Such a man wonld apply the torch to the dwelling of the enemy whilst he and bis fam ily were.asleep. Yes, he would gloat over the scene with hellish joy as the lurid flames drowned the plaintive wails of helpless infan cy ! Thanks to a kind Providence, although considerably bruised, we are still able to be at our post, in. the discharge of duty. ——— LETTER FROM MR. WADLEY TO GOVERNOR BROWN. The Savanah Republican of the SOth ult., publishes the following letter : New Orleans, 15th Nov., 1858. To His Excellency, Joseph E. Brown : Sir:—I liave had my attention called to that part of the “Repor t of the Committee of tlie Senate of Georgia” under the head of “Win. McConnell and his contracts with the Road,” in which my name is cited as an excuse for some contract between the Road and tiiat gentle man, by which he has been able to make quite a handsome sum of money without rendering value received. Now, mv object in writing to you is to say that the “ride” here spoken' of, was never adopted by me, nor was it practis ed while I had charge of the Road. Ou the contrary, I have always warred against the principle, and if the gentlemen upon that Com mittee had taken tlie trouble to look back at the operations of the Road while under my charge, and the vouchers for the work done, they would not have been led into this error, and of uttering that which has no foun dation in truth. I respectfully ask, as an act of justice, that this disclaimer as to the paternity of a rule by which the pocket of some hungry politician could be tilled, shall be made public. Very respectfully Your ob’tseiv’t., Wji. M. Wadley. Gem James Jackson. It will be 6een by reference to our legisla tive proceedings that a bill lias been introduc ed in the State Senate by Mr Paine, of Telfair, authorising the Governor to have painted the portrait ot Gen. Janies Jackson. Sherwood’s Gazetteer of the State of Georgia states that Gc-n. Jas. Jackson was born in Devon county, England, in 1757, came to Georgia 1772, aiid soon after commenced the study of law in the office of Judge Walton at Savannah. In the revolutionary war he was selected by Gen. Greene to command the Georgia legion. Af ter the.close of the war, he resumed the legal profession, and w..s yearly elected to the State legislature, until 1788, when, though only thirty-one years of age, he was chosen Gover nor but declined the honor. In 1789, he was elected to the first Congress under tlie Federal Constitution. In 1798, he was again elected Governor ; and in 1801, he was once more re turned by his constituents of the United States Senate, where he remained until the time of his death, which took place in Washington City, in March, 1806.—Aug. Const. Two Yankee Boys.—A planter, residing in Fayette county, Tenn., relates to the Memphis Avalanche, under date of the 12th inst., the following interesting incident: On on«Tof those cold, rainy nights, just pas sed, a couple of sprightly and hardy looking little Yankee boys, barefooted, badly clad, anil without budget, abont eleven and thirteen years of age, calling themselves John and Thomas Anderson, brothers, all the way from the North, came to my residence iu search, as they said, of a home and work, and readily finding both, they are now with me, the hap piest little fellows you ever saw. Their story is as full of adventure as it is af fecting. They hail from the town of Paterson, New Jersey, and say they are factory hoys, and orphans, and their father died a long time ago, and their mother nearly two years since, leav ing them working in a cotton factory, without friends or relations thereabouts—having no brothers and an only sister, Martha, who mar ried one Frederick Green, of whom they have heard nothing for a long time, and know not where they are ; that about two months since, being badly treated, they struck out for the South, without a cent of money, and worked their way along, assisted by railroad conduc tors and steamboat captains, until reacliing Memphis, where they tarried but a little while, starting out on foot, on the track of the Mem phis and Ohio Railroad, which they followed up to Wythe depot, and meeting there a small negro boy of mine, who, hearing their- story, politely, and in the spirit of true Southern hos pitality, invited them along with him to his master’s house.
