CONGRESS.
Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury.
Washington, Jan. 18,1842.
]n the Senate, to-day, Mr." Morehend of Ken
tucky presented a memorial remonstrating
against the p issage of the Bankrupt Law. He
look the occasion to remark, that in obedience
to the decisive indications of public opinion
respectidff.the Bankrupt law in his own State,
lie should vote for the repeal, though his own
opinions of the justice and propriety of the
measure were unchanged. As to his colleague
(Mr. (^lay.) he presumed he would not feel
bound by the action of the. Legislature, in; he
was more the representative of the Union, than
of any individual member of it.
The bill authorizing an issue of Treasury
notes was repotted from the Committee on Fi
nance with amendments, and Mr. Evans gave
notice that lie would call it up to-morrow.—
The hill to regulate commercial intercourse
with the port of Cayenne, in French Guiana,
and several private bills, were read a third
time and passed.
The Senate then proceeded to the consider
ation of the proposition of Mr. Walker, to in
struct the Judiciary Committee to report a bill
amendatory of the Bankrupt law, including
Banks within its compulsory provisions, and
such other, amendments as the committee may
think advisable. Mr. King suggested the pro
priety of making the resolution an inquiry in
to the expediency of reporting such a bill, and
expressed his belief that, to include the banks,
in the compulsory provisions of a bankrupt law,
would be disastrous to the banks, and produc
tive of incalculable distress to the country.—
Mr. Walker modified the resolution in accor
dance wnh this suggestion, and it was adop
ted. ^The Senate then went into Executive
session, ond afterwards adjourned.
Jn the House, the presentation of petitions
was Hi order, and a great variety were presen
ted from the States between Kentucky and
New York in a reversed order. Petitions and
memorials were presented from South Caroli
na, by Messrs. Pickens, Campbell, and Holmes,
the latter presenting several on various sub
jects from Charleston. Mr. J. R. lngersoll
presented a memorial, praying Congress not
to repeal the Bankrupt law, and lie moved
that i» be referred to the Committee on the Ju
diciary, with instructions to inquire into the ex
pediency of reporting a bill arm ndatory of the
act bf the 9th August, 18-11, so that its imper
fections may he corrected, and its deficiencies
suppfied. The motion was carried in a thin
House, by a vote of 83 to 50. A nnmlter of
Abolition petitions were presented, and pen
ding a nioiion to lay one of them upon the ta
ble, the House adjourned.
Washington, Jan. 19,1842.
In the Senate, to-day, there were n number
of memorials presented, remonstrating against
a repeal of the Bankrupt law. The resolution
submitted by Mr. Allen, yesterday, was taken
up, and after some remarks from Messrs. Al
len, Rives, and Evans, was, upon motion of
the last named gentlcinau, laid upon the tabic
by a strict party vote.
Mr. Phelps moved for the appointment of a
member on the Committee on Revolutionary
Claims, in place of an absent Senator. Mr.
Behton was in favor of abolishing the Com
mittee altogether. He said there were years
since the establishment of that Committee, in
which this government paid more for Rev
olutionary services, than were expended du
ring any one year in the Revolutionary war.
Mr. Pierce adverted to claims to the amount
of $318,001), paid by this Government be
tween the years 1829 and 1834, which have
been since discovered to have had not the
least foundation. After some remarks in re
ply^ by . Mr. Phelps, his motion was agreed
to. •
The Treasury note hill was then taken
up, and the amendment of the Committee
on Finance to strike out the proviso inserted
in the House on motion of Mr. Gilmer, was
read. The proviso was to the effect ‘ that the
amount of Treasury notes which may he is
sued under the authority of the act shall be
deemed and taken in lieu of so much of the
loan authorized by the act of July 11, 1811.”
Mr. Evans argued at some length the necessi
ty pfstrikiiig out this proviso, as the Treasu
ry. would need at least ten millions in addition
to the available revenue, to meet the expendi
tures of the year, which he thought might he
brought down to twenty-three millions. He
thought there would he a diminished import,
and a diminished export the present year.-*-
That the Cotton crop was short, and in the
fare of that deficiency there was a reduction in
price, which would occasion a deficiency in
the returns for that staple alone of twelve mil
lions of dollars. He thought that the pressure
in oiif monetary affairs had not reached its
severest point, hut that it would increase, and
that instead of a general resumption of specie
payments, which some were fondly hopingdu-
ring the ensuing summer, the suspension
would extend over portions oi the country now
j aying specie.
Mr- Buchnnan then rose and announced the
death of the Hon. Davis Dimmock, a Repre
sentative from the State of Pcnnsyl vanin, and
after paving a handsome tribute to his memo
ry, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Bullack announced the
death of his colleague, and an adjournment
immediately (ook place.
It is rumored Hint Mr. Clay will resign his
seat in.the State shortly after he makes his
grand demonstration against the Constitution
which is appointed for next Monday: and it
is itlsorumored that the ictnark of Mr. More-
head yesterday, that Mr. Clay was not the
Representative of Kentucky but of the Union
has given considerable offence to the Ken
tucky Delegation in the House, who insist
that Keutncky must have two Senators.
Washington, Jnn. 20.
In the Senate, to-day, a great number of
memorials were presented on the subject of
the Bankrupt law, by far the greater numl>er
being remonstrances against its repeal.
Mr. Bayard presented a memorial from
Philadelphia, praying that the law may lie so
modified as to include banks, or that it may
he repeated ; and avowed himself in favor ol
including-banks.
Mr. Preston presented a memorial from
Philadelphia,' praying lor a repeal ot the law,
at)d. remarked that he was so satisfied of the
impolicy Of the bill, that he would vote for its
repeal. ’
Tim Treasury Note bill was then taken up,
the question being on the amendment propos
ed by the Committee on Finance. This was
opposed hv Messrs. Woodbury, Calhoun, Bu
chanan, King and Sevier, and advocated by
Messrs. Evans and Rives, and finally adopted
—ayes 24, nays, 21. The result wiH proba
bly lie a protracted debate in the Senate, and
another in the House when the bill goes back
again, while the Treasury is utterly bank-
rnpt.
In the House of Representatives, Mr. Botts
inquired of Mr. Cushing how soon it was prob
able a report from the Select Committee on
the Currency might be expected. Mr. Cush
ing said he could not inform him, hut the
Committee were attending to their duties with
much assiduity, thrice a week.
Executive communications were presented
with the filial report of the Commissioners ap
pointed to run the line between the United
States and Texas; and In relation to the
Americans captured at Santa Fe, by which it
appears that instructions were forwarded on
the 3d inst. to our Minister at Mexico, instruc
ting him to use his best efforts to obtain the
liberation of Messrs. Kendall, Combs, and
Howard, and any other American citizens who
may l>e found among the prisoners.
The presentation of petitions was then re
sumed, and the Stales of New York, Vermont,
Connecticut, and Rhode Island were called
through. A great number ol memorials on
the subject of slavery were presented, all of
which were laid on the table, or excluded by
the 21st Rule. Upwards ol fifty petitions
were presented praying an interference of this
Government with that of Great Britain for ties
deliverance of die Americans in Van Dieman’s
land. A great number of memorials, remon
strating against the repeal ol the Bankrupt
law, were presented, and some praying for its
modification or repeal. On motion by Mr.
Chittenden, the Committee on the Judiciary
was instructed to inquire into the expediency
of a hill for a general Bankrupt law, to include
all associations and corporate bodies issuing
notes and bills for circulation, and such other
amendments as they may deem necessary. A
petition was presented praying for the recog.
nition of Hayli, which was moved to be laid
upon the table, but before the question was
decided a motion to adjourn was offered and
carried.
Washington, Jan. 21, 1842.
Ir. the Senate this morning the usual abun
dance of petitions and memorials on the
subject ol the bankrupt law were presented,
with, however, a somewhat larger proportion
in favor of the repeal.
Mr. Calhoun presented a memorial from
Charleston, stating that nineteen-twentieths
of the citizens were in favor of the repeal.
Mr. King presented the resolutions of the
Legislature of Alabama in favor of the admis
sion of Tex- « into the Union. Also the reso
lutions of the same body refusing to receive
any portion of the proceeds of the public lands.
Mr. Allen introduced a resolution of nearly
the same import as the one laid on the table the
other day, making inquiries as to the prefera
hie means for supplying the deficiency in the
revenue, but modified as suggested at the time
by Mr. Rives. A motion was made by Mr.
Clay to lav it on the table, which was car
ried, Mr. Rives himself voting with the ma
jority.
The Treasury note hill was then taken tip,
and Mr. Benton offered an amendment to pro
vide lor levying a tax on all bank paper used ns
a circulating medium. This wassnpported m
short speeches by the mover, and Messrs. Wal
ker and Bayard, and opposed by Messrs.
Calhoun and King as utterly unconstitutional,
and at the request of Mr. K. the amendment
was withdrawn.
Mr. Wright then submitted an amendment
to the effect of authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue notes to the amount of the
untaken portion of the twelve million loan
This was voted down by a party vote, Mr.
Evans declaring that they did not intend to
confine tl.emselves to providing means for the
immediate necessities of the Treasury.
Mr. Woodbury then submitted an amend
ment, appropriating the proceeds of the public
lands for the redemption of the notes issued
under the authority of this law. This was
negatived, and the hill was then ordered to lie
engrossed for a third rending.
Mr. Calhoun gave notice of his intention to
debate the hill to-morrow.
In the House of Representatives, the first
business in order was the motion of Mr. John
ATHENS, GEORGIA.

Literary Notices.
The reader will find in our advertising columns, the
remarks of the editor of the “ Magnolia” upon his
prospects for the present year, and his proposition to
the friends of the work—to which we invite attention.
We have also to acknowledge the receipt of the Jan
uary number, which, from a cursory glance, \vc should
judge to be fully equal, if not superior, to any of its
predecessors. In mechanical appearance it is much
improved, and is now one of the handsomest magazines
which graces our table.
The “Family Companion.” as will be seen by re
ferring to our advertising columns, offers handsome
prizes for the best original Tale and Poeui, to be lur-
nished before the first of March. Will not some of
our Georgia writers strive for it! By the way,we ob
serve that our friend Thompson, of the “ Augusta.Mir-
ror,” has transferred his list of subsribers, as he will
his valuable services, to the “ Companion,” and the
two publications will henceforth appear in connexion.
A judicious arrangement.
“The Brother Jonathan,” from New York city,
comes to us since the first inst., in a new and im
proved style—furnishing weekly 32 large pages, suit
able for binding—and filled with the usual quantum
of readable articles. Three dollars per annum is too
little for such a work.
“Tne New World,” also from New York, now
visits us in a handsome quarto form. Of the character
of this valuable paper we have heretofore spoken,
and we have only time now to say, that we adhere to
all our former commendations.
“ Every Youth's Gazette.”—This'is tbk-title of
a handsome quarto of eight pages, issued weekly from
the office of the “ New World,” at $2 00 per annum
for a single copy, 83 00 for two copies, or S3 00 for
four copies. Its articles will be mainly reprints from
English writers, such as Mary Howitt, Mrs. S. C
Ilall, Mrs. Southey, &e. and original productions
from favorite American authors. Each number is
to be embellished with beautiful pictures, of an in
structive character. The first number only has been
received, frrm which we judge that it will be found a
pleasing companion for children and young persons.
“ Waldh’s Library,” though last upon the present
list, is by no means least in our estimation. Its inde
fatigable publisher still continues to entertain his
readers with the most popular books of Travels,
Biographies, Novels, Essays, Ac. of the day, togeth
er with a variety of smaller selected articles, critical
notices. &c. The present volume begins with “ Jac
querie,” a new novel by James. We are glad to
see that the old cover is resumed. Terms, $5 00 per
annum. Adam Waldie, Philadelphia, will attend
promptly to all orders enlosing the cash.

Campbell to lay a motion to receive a peti
tion for the recognition of llayti on the table.
The motion to lay on the table was negatived
ayes 86, noes 94,and the petition was re
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Adams presented a great variety.of Ab
olition petitions, which were ohj-cted to by
Messrs. Campbell, Wise and others, and the
motions to receive laid upon the table, after a
great deal of confusion and tumult. He then
presented a memorial purporting to lie from
citizens of Georgia who complained of it as a
grievance that he was appointed Chairman of
the Committee on Foreign Relations, as they
considered him as afflicted with a monoma
nia on the subject of persons whose color was
darker than that of a Mexican. He demanded
the right of replying to it, and then hc'wnuld
move its reference to the committee on For
eign Relations, with instructions to elect their
Chairman. This was resisted as out of order,
and Mr. Holmes asked if it was in order to
consume the time of the House in replying to
a hoax. Mr. Hahershnin (and I beg his "par
don for naming him, instead of his friend and
colleague, on a former occasion) from whose
comity the memorial purported to come, sta
ted Ins belief that it was a hoax, as he did not
know n single person named ou the memorial,
which, with all the signatures, was in the
same handwriting. Mr. Adams insisted on
his right to reply, and such a scene of tumult
and disorder was presented, ns is seldom wit
nessed in tliut Hall; and it seemed to be es
pecially got up for the entertainment of Lord
Morpeth, who sat within a few feet of Mr. Ad
ams during the whole performance. The
whole subject was at lengtlt laid on the table
—ayes 94, noes 92, and the House adjourned.
Strauge Incident.
The Georgetown (D. C.) Advertiser, says:
•—“Some weeks ago a man nnmed Miller, ar
rived in Washington from the South, his ob
ject being.to prosecute a claim against the
Government. On Saturday, gd inst., he died,
ond being supposed very poor, no one wiuld
administer to his effects*. At last Mr. Rives,
one of the proprietors of the Globe, undertook
the Risk. On the opening of the deceased’s
trunk, upwards of thirty thousand dollars were
found. Of course Mr. R. will be entitled to
fhe per centage allowed to thendmistrators.
The property by the will goes to a sister of the
deceased now residing in Virginia. Here is
another argument for the speedy erection of a
hospital iq Washington, for when a stranger
is sick, he has but little chance, if supposed to
be poor.
Guardians, Executors, and Administra
tors, Take Notice.
The laws of the State of Georgia declare,
that “ it shall he the duty ol all Guardians,
Executors and Administrators, to render a full
and correct account of the state and condition
of such estates as they may severally have hi
their possession, to the Inferior Court while
sitting for ordinary purposes, in the county
for which they may have been appointed, in
each and even/ year; which account shall
contain a statement on oath of the transactions
of tjie estate to the last day of December pre-
cedi v" such return, together with the neces
sary vouchers relating thereto.” ‘And itshall
be the duty of the court to direct process to lie
issued, returnable to the next court, against
all Guardians, Executors,and Administrators,
failing to appear and render such account,
whether he, she, or they, l>e resident in the
same, or any other county.”
As the above law has in several instances
not been understood, it has been deemed ad
visable tints publicly to remind all delinquents
of their duty, and to caution others against
similar violations of the law.—Macon Mes
senger.
We would also hint to Executors and Ad
ministrators, that it is their duty to “ pay the
printer” out of the first proceeds of the estate.
Advertising is part ol the expenses of adminis
tration, which the law requires to be among
the first debts paid. — Washington A r eics.
