A bill to prescribe an additional penalty to nk fur failing to comply with the provisions the act of 1857. On this there was an animated discussion, ierv parliamentary tactic was exhausted for ,- ilin it of the measure. Efforts were made i the defeat of the measure by the opposi- )n refusing to vote, and thereby preventing ij '.urum from voting. Messrs Slaughter auil ;Un were the two champions that measur- I blades on the occasion, and it was certainly fierce a contest as was ever witnessed in the juri'iii Legislature or in any other delibera te b..d\ Mr Slaughter of Dougherty con- mleil tiiat inasmuch as the banks had ac- iiteil of the provisions of the act in their fur. it was nothing but just and right that v should have complied with that part of ’provisions which required their semi-an il returns to lie made. Mj. Gibson on the 10 r hand argued that the infliction of the ltv would inevitably bring every' bank the State into liquidation, and produce le spread ruin and desolution. ;ut parliamentary tactics must eventually ]before the well concerted action of over- Mming majorities. The struggle may he g and fierce, but victory is certain. On final passage of the bill the Yeas were 50 vs 13.

Such was the press of busines the last day 1 iiL'lit, that notwithstanding there were many as twenty or thirty additional clerks ployed, it was impossible to enrol all the Is that lunl been passed. At least 00 we m will on that account fail to become laws, icing required that the signature of all cept that of the Governor must be placed to bill during the sitting of each braucli. give it as our decided opinion that 40 - is too short a time for the transaction of e business of so large a State as Georgia.— ■ also object to the closing of the business Saturday.

Also resolutions were passed by the late and the House of Representatives com mentary to the Reporters for the faithful inner in which they had performed their tv. We all had to respond to our names, 11 your humble reporter had to address the late of Georgia, accepting them for the nur which they had conferred on so impro ving a character. ijuite a sensation was produced by the •cell of another reporter Mr. Tomlinson irt jr.. of the Federal Union. He is a youth lb white haired and fair. He thanked the Date for conferring their power on one so wig as he was, by requesting him to ad- css a l«i<ly of so much dignity as the Senate Georgia, and disclaimed having set down glit in malice against any member of the nate. It had been said that he had at- inpted to injure an Hon. Senator, but he ■claimed anv such intention. Your corres- ndent can liear testimony to Mr. Fort, and ■atfrom my own knowledge, that Mr Fort been far from desiring to injure the repu- tion of any one. It is due to me to say this he was unfortunate on one occasion in rep enting the position of the Senator from niton to which you alluded some time since an editorial. Mr (>uerry spoke as follows : Senators : We have well nigh reached the rmination of our labors, and the hour of 'partition is at hand. In the conflict of opin- n. in the heat of fierce debate through which e have just passed, it is hut natural thatir- itation and ill-feeling should have beensome- mes engendered : but now that the conflict f opinion is over and the war of words is at n end, the gentler sentiments of the heart ave resumed their wonted sway and in their migri and gentle presence the demon ofdis- >rd is forever husbeil. The grave responsi- ilities of the Senator are merged in the ten- asensibilities of friend and brother justas e are about to be separated perhaps forever, am no stranger to the circumstances which ow surround us.

Mr. Fields, of Milton, said :—Me. Presi dent : The honorable Senator from Baldwin, on Saturday evening, stated in his remarks that all the argument he heard at the last Ses sion in favor of removal, was the dilapidated condition of the walls, and desired some Sena tor to give one reason why the Penitentiary should be removed from Milledgeville to any other place in the State of Georgia, so as to benefit the State. . Mr. President and Senators, I now propose to answer a portion of the argument made by the honorable Senator from Baldwin, and give several reasons why I think the Penitentiary should lie removed, for as the gentleman ref peats, the delapidatcd condition of the walls, which is true. I also add the delapidated con dition of all the buildings inside the walls, ex-, cept the car shed—that building is new, and unfortunately the one we shall have the least use for in future, which I will show before clos ing. Now, it is unquestionably true, that in a very short time these buildings, as well as the walls, will have to lie pulled down and rebuilt here, or a new Penitentiary built somewhere else. The Senator from Baldwin also stated in his remarks that he had in his possession, on his desk, statistical information showing all the workings of all the Penitentiaries in the United States, adding that but two or three was sustaining themselves by convict lalior, and that Georgia stood third or fourth in the catalogue of self sustaining. Mr. President and Senators, if the Georgia Penitentiary is numbered third or fourth as approximating self sustaining, if we can make her fully do so, will it not be to the best inter est of ttie State, and to do this, remove it to some point where convict labor can be made more profitable than at this place. Mr. President, this Institution has been founded forty-two years, and has sunk the State of Georgia annually eleven thousand dol lars, being four hundred and sixty-two thou sand dollars expended by the State since its erection, which is three or four times as much as it would now take to build one of stone at a more favorable location, and would stand during all time. But, sir, if it is rebuilt with Brick, as would necessarily lie the case in re building it at its present location, in forty or fifty years the whole work would be to do over. Is this evidence not sufficient to convince the minds of Senators, that it should he re moved to some other place; if we can make it sustain itself at any other point it will be a great saving to the peoplo of Georgia. Sena tors need not lie alarmed at the simple idea of removal, there is no place in the State where the Institution would fail to do as well as it has at its present location. Mr. President. I am authorized to say in my place to you and Senators on this floor, by a Senator of this body, that if the Penitentiary is moved to some suitable location on the State Road, and the buildings put up complete, he will take the Institution for the next ten years and give as good bond and security as can be given in the State of Georgia, binding himself to make the Institution sustain itself, if not he will be responsible to the State for all deficits. Now, sir, remove and accept the proposition of the Senator, and we save to the tax payers of the State of Georgia one hundred and ten thousand dollars in ten years. Is this not an swering the Senator’s argument, and giving him good reasons why the Penitentiary should he removed from this place to some other point. Some where on the line of Rail Roads, say the State Road, or the Stone Mountain, or any other elegible place, as may be thought best in the judgment of the Committee, and when they report to his Excellency, the Governor, and a cite is purchased, take a portion of the convicts and go on with the work, which I am informed can be practicably done. The Senator from Baldwin stated that he had from a good architect or mechanic who had examined the old walls, reports that it will stand there for the next century. Now I ask Senators will they take the opinion of a mechanic, an outsider, and perhaps looking to no one’s interest but his own, in perference to the opinions and recommendations of the sever al committees that have been appointed from time to time for the last seven years, who were sworn and had no other interest in view but the State’s, and every time reported in favor of removal to some other more eligible loca tion. Sir, these have been joint standing com mittees of both Houses, who have carefully and considerately looked into the affairs and operations of the Penitentiary, aud no doubt were forcibly struck with the disadvantages the Institution is laboring under, and will con tinue to do so as long as it remains here; hence all their reports have been favorable to removal, and I ask the Senator to bear in mind that all these committees have been acting un der oath. Mr. President, I propose further reasons why I advocate the passage of the Bill now under consideration.—The Principal Keepers for se veral years hack all recommend removal; they are in charge of this Institution but a short time before discovering the great disadvanta ges they have to labor under, compared with other locations. This unanimous conclusion that all come to, that has anything to do with the Penitentiary, having no’ other interest in view but the State’s, ought to have much weight with Senators on this floor. In addi tion to the reasons already given, there is an other thing I wish to mention and bring to the notice of the Senators, for the last seven years the Institution has been laboring under great er advantages (as bad as they are) than it had previous or will in the future, consequently for the maintainance of this Institution larger appropriations will lie required. During these years it has been building cars for the Western & Atlantic Rail Road, also fencing and grading the public square around the State House, pa ving the walks, &c., and much work done in repairing the Executive Mansion in 1856 and 1857, for all this the Penitentiary has received in cash the large sum of one hundred and three thousand six hundred and forty one dollars and seventeen cents. Now, Mr. President, all this work is done, car building, which was the most profitable of any other business ever conducted in the Penitentiary, is now at an end, the State Road has been supplied, as I be fore stated, the car shed is of no further use. Some Senator may say continue the car busi ness and supply other roads, hut let me show ou the difficulties here again,—all Rail Roads that are able to pay Cash have shops of their own, and build their own cars. New Roads that’have to buy cars, are invariably such as cannot pay the’ cash but have to give their bonds running for years, so you see no cash can be realized in purchasing car material, no time is given for longer than four months and some only thirty days, so this business is now impracticable. All the work about tlic State House and Executive Mansion being done, what will you employ all these convicts at in side the walls, the enclosure being too small for so many convicts even to enjoy good health. Sir, seven years ago we had in the Penitentia ry ninety convicts, at this time we have one hundred an ninety, an increase of one hundred. I repeat again, sir, what are you going to put them at in the present location that will even yeild their bread—it cannot be done, there is not room inside these walls to employ one half of them profitably. It there was room here to keep them all at work, there is no market. Many things they manufacture here now, will not bring more than the worth of the material, and particularly so when fine and costly mate rial are used. Let us move them to some other location where we can have room, where material and provisions are cheaper, and the climate more healtliv. Sir. convict labor should be employ ed not on costly, but any cheap material when manufactured goes into general use. Mr. President, the Senator from Baldwin states, that in his judgment, it will cost the State some four or five hundred thousand dol lars to build a new Penitentiary anywhere. In answer to the Gentlemen on this point, I will read from the report of the select com mittee appointed by the General Assembly to look out a suitable location for the Penitentia ry and report thereon. I will only read a portion, as my time will not permit me to read all, the part I have referred to reads thus: “ Estimates Made by your committee, ex- -4?«d and endorsed by competent and prac- -T>ns, show that the entire cost of en- 'iffive acres with a coarse un feet thick and twenty walls of a cell ’ °nd sixty Wo cells five by eight, and affording the requisite number of passages, &c., would not exceed, at regular rates, twenty-six thousand dollars. Your committee would recommend the entire floor of the cells to be made of unhewn stone extending across and built up with the walls, and plastered with hydraulic or the appropri ate cement, that the cells be secured with sub stantial iron door shutters, also that the roof be constructed of stone with a slight declina tion, and coated with mastic which should be impervious to water, and at the same time ren dering the building perfectly fire proof. These additional items would swell the estimate, and. make the aggregate cost of walls and cells from thirty-eight to forty thousand dollars. ’ ’ Compare this sum with the enormous cost of the present contracted cell building alone, and you will be forcibly struck with the supe rior eligibility of Stone Mountain as a location over the present, and remembe'r this once done is to do no more. _ The convicts under the direction and super vision of an experienced and practical archi tect may be made to perform and execute al most the entire work of erecting and complete- ing the walls and cell building, and save the State a large portion of the above specified sum which would otherwise pass into the hands of contractors. The committee further shows the great diference in the cost of material, provi sions, tan-bark and coal, compared between this place and Stone Mountain being in favor of the latter to the amount of nineteen thou sand six hundred and thirty-one dollars and sixty-nine cents. Sir, is this not giving a good reason in favor of removal? I now propose to show the Senate what it will cost to partially rebuild and fit up at this place on as economical a plan as will at all answer the purpose, and say nothing of the vast amount it would cost at this place, to build up the Institution of such material and on such a plan as would be desired ffir the safe keeping and managing of all the convicts in side the walls. This calculation being reliable having been made by one of the Principal Keepers, I will not trouble the Senate with the particulars, but sum up the whole amount in a short way, to-wit: To extend walls so as to enclose five acres, add to cell building ninety feet and covering whole building, reconstruction of shops, hos pital, &c., the purchase and removal of rock jail and two academies on the premises, also the purchase of an adjoining square for the purpose of building houses on for guard, all of which will cost one hundred and one thou sand four dollars and seventy-two cents. Mr. President, I have shown the report of the select committee, and what it will cost to build the Penitentiary at .Stone Mountain, or elsewhere on the line of some of the Rail Roads. Compare the estimates made us to the cost here and other locations, and you will see that we can save sixty thousand dollars in building at some other place. Is this not giving the honorable Senator from Baldwin a reason why we should remove? Sir, I think I have given him several yox! reasons for removal. Now let us look a little into the iron busi ness. The Senator from Baldwin savs the iron business will not pay, and that convicts can not make money thus employed, to prove this, in his argument he refers us to the honorable Mark A. Cooper, anil asks the question, if the iron business is profitable, why is it that Air. Cooper asks the Legislature to aid him in the iron business.' I desire the Senator to answer a question : did Mr. Cooper ever get a dollar from the State Treasury to aid him in his bu siness? the Senator answers no. Mr. President, I will now show to the Sena tor that the iron business is profitable, and first 1 will take the honorable Mark A. Cooper as proof of what I say. He has the most ex tensive iron works in all Cherokee Georgia, lie has also put in operation Flour Mills, which consumes a large amount of grain annually, both of which, sir, has successful! and by the profits arising therefrom he has been enabled to build a Rail Road four miles long intersect ing with the Western & Atlantic R. R. Yet we are told the Iron business is not profitable. Not so sir, the Hon. Mark A. Cooper has done more to develope the mineral resourci s of Georgia than any man in it, he deserves great credit and honor for his industry and enter- prizing spirit. Now, sir, I will give the Senator another case showing the iron business to be profitable, the company of Moore and others bought out a Furnace from Col. Earl at fifteen thousand dol lars to be paid for in Pig Iron, one ton per day. Sir, I have been informed that the company has paid the purchase money and all the debts of the concern, paid all expenses for labor &c., and says they can sell one hundred tons per day to the city of New York at fair prices. Tell me, Sir, the iron business will not pay ; 1 can say to the^Gentleman as shown before, that it nofouly pays, but is very profitable, and I have no doubt convict labor could be employed in this business to great advantage, there is nothing to do but to enclose with walls an inexhaustible iron bed, put up a furnace and all hands go to work. Mr. President, I can say this for the honor able Senator from Baldwin, lie has made a good speech, has delivered an elegant address, and I admire his fidelity, his tact, and great ingenuity in advocating what he conceives to be the rights and interest of his constituents. Sir, he has made one of the best BaldwinCounty speeches I ever heard. Now, sir. if the Sena tor would get up and make such a speech for the State at large, my opinion is that wc could pass the Bill bv two thirds majority. Mr. President, I stand here to-day as a Sen ator to represent the interest of eveiy County- in the State of Georgia, and not simply the county of Baldwin or Milton. Sir, I stand here to represent the interest of every tax pay er in the State. I view this, Sir, as a very important ques tion, I regard it as third matter of importance for consideration before this branch of the General Assembly. First the bill organizing a general school system. Second the bill grant ing State aid to certain Rail Roads, and third the bill providing for the removal of the Pen itentiary. I regard these bills as being most important of all bills before the present Legis lature. Sir, I feel a deep and abiding interest in the passage of this bill. Every Senator on this floor should have a like interest in the pas sage of this bill. And, sir, every tax paper in the State of Georgia does have a deep inter est in the passage of this bill now under con sideration. The tax payers of the State of Georgia will speak out in thunder tones from the seaboard to the mountains. For this reason, sir; I have shoyvn to the Senate that by remoy'al we can save $00,000 in building expenses. Nineteen thousand six hundred and thirty one dollars and sixty-nine cents difference in the cost of material aud provisions, and one hundred and ten thousand in ten years, by accepting Sena tors, propo-ition to take the Institution and save the State all expense. Sir, add up all these sums and see how much yve can save to the tax payers of Georgia. I will not trespass further on the time of the Senate, as the session is rapidly coming to a close. I hope _ I have shown to > the'satisfac- tion of Senators several reasons why we should remove the,Penitentiary', Sir, 1 will yield the floor, hoping the bill will pass.

Prospectus for the Year 1859. mHE Proprietor of the NEW YORK LEDGER iB gratified I at having it in his power to announce in his Prospec tus for the new vear—1859—that all the old papular and eminent writers’of the LEDGER staff have been retained, and new ones added. Among the latter we are pleased to ment ion the name-of the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, who is to furnish a series of articles, to be continued dur ing the entire year, under the title of “THE MOUNT VERNON PAPERS." For these articles alone we have already paid Mr. Everett (for the benefit of the Ladies Mouut Vernon Association) the sum of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. As an indication of popularity of the LEDGER, we need only state the simple iact, that its circulation is larger than that of any other TEN literary papers in the coun try. Its success is owing to the facts that its proprietor secures the best writers in the country, and spares no ex pense in getting up the BEST FAMILY PAPER—a paper of higli moral tone. The exalted reputation of its contri butors, the practical and invariably pure an healthy character of ail its articles, the care which is taken that not even one offensive word shall appear in its columns, and the superioritv of its tales aud sketches, have gained for the NEW YORK LEDGER a position that no literary paper has ever before reached. We feel, and always have feit, since the LEDGER attained its immense circu lation, that a heavy responsibility rests upon us, aud have endeavored to discharge that responsibility con cientiously, feeling confident that ultimately we should receive the thanks of thousands and lens of thousands ol families. As to the future, we are at a loss what to say. We pre fer to perform rather than to promise. What we have heretofore done, is known to our readers ; they know what the LEDGER has been, and is now, and must there from judge what it will be hereafter. We can only say tiiat among the regular contributors tothe LEDGER are : GEORGE D. PRENTICE, FANNY FERN, PROFESSIONAL CARDS. JOHN G. SAXE, SYLVANUS COBB, Jr. , EMERSON BENNET, T. S. ARTHUR, WM. ROSS WALLACE, CABLES 1). STUART, COL. W. B. DUNLAP, MRS. SIGOURNEY, MRS. SOUTHWORTH, A1JCE CARY. EMMA ALICE BROWNE, SALUE M. BRYAN, MARY STANLY GIBSON, AUGUSTA MOORE, any many eminent Lawyers, Clergymen, Professors in Colleges, and others, who write for the LEDGER anony mously ; and that our complete arrangements are such tiiat the current expenses of the LEDGER are now, and will constantly be, at the rate of over three hundred thou sand dollars per annum. FACIS like these carry with them more weight than any comments that could be made, and comments will therefore be dispensed with. As we have already inti mated, we shall le ivepromising to those who prefer toex- pend their force in tiiat way, and content ourselves with doing what we can make the LEDGER the most interesting and instructive FAMILY PAPER in the World. THE NEW YORK LEDGER, is published every Satur day, and sold at the news offices in every city and town throughout the country, and is mailed to subscribers at two dollars per annum ; two copies are sent for $3. Any person obtaining eight subscriber at $1,50 each (which is our lowest club rates), au-t sending us $12, will be entitled to one copy free. Terms invariably in advance. The jxstage on tho Ledgkr to any part of the United States, paid quarterly or /early in advance, at tlie office where it is received, it is only twenty-six cents a year. Canada subscribers must eaen send us twenty- six cents iu addition to tho subscription price of tho Led gkr, to pay the American postage. Subscribers must write their addresses, including tlie name of the place, County and .State, in which they reside, in a plain baud, so as to avoid mistakes. No subscriptions are wanted from cities, large villages, or other places where news offices are perma nently established. «»-AII communications must be addressed, postage paid, to ROBERT BONNER, Proprietor of the New York Ledger, No 44 Ann stteet, New York. N. B.—-The number of the Ledger, dated Jan. 1st, 1859 will be a good one fur subscriptions to date from, as in tiiat number the “Mount Vernon Papers.” by the Hon. Edward Everett, will be commenced. Mr. Everett’s, articles will be copy wrighted, so as to prevent publication In any other paper. [dec 15 wit JOHN M. LUNQUEST Surgeon and Mechanical Dentist, Whitehall Street, Atlanta, Ga.

It is more simple and easier kept in order than any other Machiie. 2d It makes a scam which will not rip or rqvel, though every third stitch is cut. 3d. It sews from two ordinary spools, ond thus aa trouble -of winding thread is avoided, while the same machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a mere change af spool, to all varieties of work. 4tli. The same machine runs silk, 'linen thread, and common sisool cotton with equal facility. r.ih. The scam is as clastic as tho most elastic fabric, so tiiat it is free from ali liability to break in washing, iron ing, or otherwise. 6tli. Tlie stitch made by this machine is more heauti ful than any other, either by hand or machine.
