The motion to strike out being carried, the next was to consider the amendments offered by Mr. Dougherty, of Clark, and Mr. Alexan der, of Meriwether; hut a motion to lay the bill on the table for the remainder of the ses sion, bcinj made, and superseding nil others, the question was put to lay the bill on the table for the remainder of the session, and carried, yeas 42, nays 38. 29th—This morning, on the motion to re consider the journal of yesterday in regard to the vote to lay the Central Railroad Lull on the tabic for the remainder of the session, il.c yeas wpre 49, nays 32, so the bill is again be fore the Senate for consideration. The chairman of the committee on internal improvements, made a report on various sub jects which had been referred to that commit tee. In regard to the Western and Atlantic Railroad, tho committee observe: ”On the re port of the commissioners of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and of the Ciiief Engineer, the committee takes pleasure in expressing their opinion, that the work lias, during the | past season, been conducted with judgment, ■ economy, a rigid regard to the interests of the State and of its citizens, and with every pros pect of as speedy completion as the magnitude of the work will admit. And the committee most earnestly recommend to the General As- j •embly to make, at the present session, a suit-1 able and full provision for its prosecution and completion. The committee does not dwell on this important subject, because it is already j entirely identified with the feelings, pride, in terest, and patriotism of every Georgian.” 29th—Mr. Cone laid on the table a resolu tion requiring his excellency the governor to j furnish the general assembly with the amount j of money paid, and which will be due on the J completion of the several contracts now taken ! up on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, and ( for work done thereon.

And whereas, it has also been shown that the»operations of the two banks of the United States, which have existed forty years, since 1791, .in connexion with-the fiscal action of the general government, have aided in effect ing the commercial degradation of the south ern states; and that if they would relieve themselves from this oppressive dependence, they must bring into action a manly [lower, of sufficient magnitude to resist and counteract the extensive financial arrangements of tho large banking institutions of New Vork and Philadelphia. And whereas, the works of in ternal improvement now in progress in these states will, when completed, produce the most active intercourse, and establish a system of interchange with the west and southwest, giv ing to those extensive and fertile regions, a rapid and cheap communication with the south ern Atlantic states east, and consequently, cause the vast amount of their imports to pass through the same channels, thereby rendering necessary a uniform currency and financial iu rangements 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 necessary accommodations and facilities to en able them to reclaim and conduct successfully our extensive commerce. And whereas, con cert of action on the part of the state, imme diately interested in these great objects, will be most likely to produce the desired result, — Ist Be it therefore resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in general assembly met, and it is hereby resolved by the authority of the same, That it is necessary to the commercial inde pendence and prosperity of the southern and southwestern states, that a bank be established by them with a capital large enough to meet the wants of their extensive commerce, and regulate their sterling and domestic exchanges. 2d. Resolved, That the capital of said bank ought to be equjJ in amount to the exports of states concerned in its establishment, that at least one half of the capital allotted to each state be subscribed for and owned by said state, and the other half by the citizens thereof, that the stocks subscribed by the States be paid in certificates of state stock or state debt, and not to bear interest until deposited by said bank. 3d. Resolved, That the amount of stock subscribed in each state ought to be exercised in said state, in one or more branches of said bank, unless otherwise directed by said state. 4th. Resolved, That the charter of.said bank ought to be so framed as to permit any state to withdraw its capital therefrom, and tliut anv slate, not having first taken an interest there in, be permitted to do so on the same terms as the original subscribers. sth. Resolved, That five commissioners be appointed by his excellency the governor, to meet in the city of Augusta, on the first Mon day in April next, and act with such commis sioners as may be appointed oil the part of other states to form a charter for said bank, and report on the expediency and objects of such an institution, which charter and report shall be laid before the legislature of the state represented for their consideration and action. 6th. Resolved, That a commissioner be ap pointed by the governor to take this preamble end resolutions to each of the following state legislatures that are now in session, viz. Ala bama, South Carolina, and the territory of Florida. 7th. Resolved, That copies of lies pream ble Hid these resolutions be forwarded by his excellency the governor, to each of the south and southwestern states.

This is a strong indication of the adoption of the bill by the House: and if the vote is ns decis ive on its final passage, it is more than prob able that the Senate will respond in a similar 'manner to the vote of the House, i This morning the discussion of the General | Banking Bill was again resumed. The de bate continued until one o’clock, when the House adjourned. It is probable that a final vote will betaken this afternoon. ' Sunt Mart’s City. —The Alexandria Gazette savs, that the city bearing this name, which lias now existence in name only, vvas situated near the mouth of the Saint Mary’s River, in Saint Mary’s ‘county, in Maryland, and was not only the spot where the first settlers landed, ’ but was also tiie first place on flu routi ne at where freedom or religion wax tol erated-. Where the Protestant and the Roman Catholic enjoyed their own mode of worship, and lived in harmony together. ■ A few old gravestones are now the re- 1 mains ol this ancient city, which at one j j time sent delegates to the General As-! setnhly of Maryland. BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. (From the Augusta Mirror.] Jove Wngh* aHarers' vows, and »hain*, And wtea Wad better do the nine. * A fl-tend of mine has recently returned from an excursion into the circuit of ihis state He tells me that while in the county of he strayed inte the court house, and was present at the ar raignment ol a nun by the name of Hen re Day, who was charged with attempting to kill his wife. Day was a pale little man, and the wife, who was present, was a per fect Behemoth. "The indictment being read, the prisoner was asked to say, wheth er he Was “guilty or not guilty.” He answered “there’s a migkty chance of lawyer’s lies in the papers, but some part is true. I did strike the old lady, but she fit me powerfully first. She can swear equal to a little of any thing, and I her kicks are awful. I reckon what you j j say about the devil moving me, is tolerable j correct, seeing asjiow she moved me. I j have told you all I know ’bout the circum- 1 stance Mister. I gin Squire Jones there,! a five dollar hill, and I allow he’ll talk it out for me.” Squire Jones thereupon rose, and said he I had a law point to raise in this case, which lie thought conclusive. It was ail establish ed ruk: of law, that man and wife are hut one; and he should like to know how a man could be punished for whipping himself, he should he glad to hear what the solicitor general could say to that. The solicitor general answered, that he thought his brother Jones has carried the maxim a trifle too far: men had often been punish ed for healing their wives. If a tnan should kill his wife, it would not be sui cide. Here Squire Jones interposed, and defi ed the solicitor general to produce an au thority to that effect. The solicitor gen eral looked over Green’s and Lumpkin’s Georgia justice for some minutes, and then observed, that he could not find an authority just then, but he was sure he had seen the principle somewhere, and he called on the judge to sustain him. In the enthusiasm of the council on this point, they forgot to offer any evidence as to the guilt or innocence of D.iy in the premises. The judge being likewise ob vious of this fact, proceeded to charge j the jury. He told them, that man and 1 wife were one, and were two. If a wife ran in debt or abused a neighbor; or knock ! ed down or dragged out a fellow citizen, \ then man and wife were one. If the hus dand did any of these things, then, man and wife were two. He remarked, that in either event, the man was legally bound to suffer, and therefore come it ns they would, Day was undoubtedly guilty. He said, he would not decide the question, whether if a man kill his wife, it was mur der or suicide. lie was not prepared to express an opinion upon that point. It was a very delicate one, and lie had no idea of i committing himself. (Someone in the room here observed, that he was mighty | fond of committing others.) lie then called up the bailiff, a tremend ' oils looking cracker, wearing a broad brim white hat with crape, (I never saw a man south of latitude 33, that did not I wear a white hat with crape,) and proceed ed to admonish him, that the jury were very much in the habit of coming in drunk, ! witli their verdicts, nnd that if it happened j in tliis case, he would discharge the pris- oner, and put his punishment upon him, (the bailitf.) The bailiff giving a signifi cant glance at the judge, replied, that oth er people besides the jury came into court drunk, —that some people thought other people drunk, when some people were drunk themselves.’ The jury then retired, and so did my friend. The next day he returned and found matters in statu quo, except that Day and his wife had made up, and were discussing together the merits of a cold fowl, and a quart of beer, and now and then interchanging kisses, des pite of the frowns and becks of the officers. The judge, clerk, and sheritf, had been up all night and looked wolfish, and the bailiff vvas setting on his white hat at the door of the jury room, and his counten ance expressed that he had swallowed the concentrated venom of a thousand wild cats. The most awful curses, oaths and sounds proceeded from the jury room— some were roaring like lions—some cry ing like children—mewing like cats — neighing like horses, &.c. At last, a short consultation was held at the door of the jury room between the forman and the bail iff, whereupon, the latter putting his white I <,ll urn: sided on his head, ca/rte into the court room and addressed the judge thus: •‘.Mister, Tom Jakes says the jury can’t agree about this here man, and if you keep hint< i. e. Tom Jakes) without grog any more, lie'll lick you “on sight.” The judge appealed to the bar, ifthis was not a contempt of court, and ‘ Green and Lumpkin’s Georgia justice” having been consulted, it was finally decided, that as it was a threat addressed to the judge as a private individual, and vvas, to whip him "on sight,” and not on the bench, it was not, (under the free, enlightened and de mocratic principles ofGeorgiu legislation,) a contempt of court. This being settled, the judge directed the bailiff to say to Tom Jakes, the foreman, that the jury should agree, if they stayed there through eterni ty. The bailiff returned, and so did my friend, but he gives it as his opinion, from the frame of mind in which he left nil parties, that the jurors and baiiilf are still there. R. M. C.

More Indian Murders.— On Monday last, a family of twelve persons of the name Zipper, were murdered twenty-one miles from Black Creek, in a northwest direc tion. Fout New Smyrna, Nov. 19. Sir—Capt. D. Dummett discovered, on Sunday last, the skeletons of two individ uals who had evidently been murdered by the Indians. They were lying about a mile from this bar, at a mound known by the name of Pilots Retreat. He found also several papers. Yesterday I went with him to see them, wlien we found three others, (making five in number); all evidently murdered, as every skull was broken. One of them had been put on the fire and was partly burnt. We found numerous papers strewed about near them. They had evidently not been long mur dered, as the skin and some hair, and the tendens, were still there, and one foot was entire. From the papers, it appears that the principal individual was a Chas. Sage, of New York, but recently in the Texian service; and one ofthe others was a bov aged sixteen named James Daniels, born in Danville, Vermont. Uhere was nothing by which the other three could he iden tified; they were probably sailors. St. Augustine, Nov. 25. “Last Sunday night the Indians stole two horses from the stable at Fort Han son. Since that, they have killed four or five families in the neighborhood of Ala chua, and one near Black Creek, consist ing of twelve persons. Protesting of Inland Bills. —The New Orleans Bulletin says that in a suit before Judge Morgan, of the City Court, a principle of mer&ntile law has recently been decided, a knowledge of which may prove useful to merchants and men of bu siness generally. Some how or other a notion has gener ally prevailed, that a demand and a pro test by a Notary Public, are necessary in all cases to bind the endorser of a note, the drawer, or acceptor of a draft. The rule is true as regards foreign bills. But it has become the settled law, as respects the demand upon the acceptor and notice to the drawer of an inland bill, that they j may he made without the intervention of | a Notary Public—in other words, without! a public protest, in case of uon-acceptance ■ or qon-paymerit. Formerly, in England,! several statutes made a protest of inland ! bills necessary in special cases. Yet the rule as now settled in that country is the same as the one above described. In the United States, the term inland hills, has become confined to clerk’s drafts or hills on parties within a particular State. When drawn by a resident of one State upon a resident of another State, they are viewed as foreign. Promissory notes, when en dorsed, are of course governed by the same rule, and a note which never has travelled beyond the limits of a State, needs no protest —the only requisite be ing due proof of a formal demand and ! prompt notice to endorsers and drawers j in case of non-payment or non-acceptance.' !In all cases, however, where large sums i Jof money are involved, the safest course I j is to resort to a regular protest by reason i jof the (Ticilily and certainty of the proof. ! But many notes and drafts are drawn for very small sums. Frequently the cost of the protest would be equal to one year’s interest on the instrument. To the hold ers of such paper, the saving of the cost of a protest is quite a consideration, and it is for their benefit that publicity is given lo the principles laid down in Judge Mor gan’s decision. A few hales of “Bituminated Peat,” — the composition recently invented in New York, formed of refuse anthracite coal screenings, tar, &c.—were put on hoard the Great Western on her last trip from New York, in order to test the merits as cribed to this species of fuel. The engi neer, who is said-to be a man of scientific attainments,addressed a letter to the inven tors on the return of the ship, in which he states that the result of the trial has satisfied hi in that one hundred pounds of peat is equal to three hundred ofcoal, and that in cases where there is a itt generating or keeping up a good head of steam, tiiis fuel is indispensable. The Directors of the Great Western ordered the purchase of two hundred barrels for the use of that ship, which were put on j board previous to her sailing a few’ days I aijp.

Extraordinary j as it appears, that quantity of cotton, clean : and without bolls, was picked on the 6th of this month, on the plantations of Win. 11. Cureton, on Bayou Bauif. One of the hands belonging to tins gentleman picked 576 pounds—another 593, and a third 575 —a day’s work each. It may fie necessary to add that Dr. Hawkins of 1 Cheneyville, examined the cotton and found it ali to bo clean and good, i We heard Mr. Cureton offer a bet of two thousand dollars, that hr: ins four servants that will go into any plantation (on the first picking) and pick two thousand; pounds of cotton in a day. There were! jno takers—it could be done.— Alexandria' (La.) (razettc. Central Rail Road. —lt gives us pleasure to inform our readers that this work is iu most active progress. Nearly 1000 men are now employed, and the force is daily increasing. We are in formed that the planters are showing a disposition to engage in the work; by di verting for a time their force from agri culture, they will give their lands rest, while they inay be as profitably employ ed in carrying on the great work of im provement, which will eventually, in its advantages, return to them like bread cast upon the waters, fourfold. The business on the road for the last month, we are told, has far exceeded the expectations of its most sanguine friends and gives good earnest of what may he expected when the whole work shall be completed. We think the friends of this enterprise have every reason for confidence in its final success.—[Savannah Geor gian. An Act of True Courage. —The “Buffalo Commercial” relates a thrilling incident which lately happened on board the steamer Constitution whilst that vessel was out in the late terrible gale, which caused such devastation among the numer ous craft which navigate Lake Erie. When the storm was at his height, the captain observed that the vessel was rapidly drift ing towards a reef of rocks from which es cape seemed impossible. The captain ordered on more steam—the engineer re plied, that the boilers were already at the very high presure point, and that more might cause an instant explosion. In this dilemma there appeared no choice nnd it was decided that the strength of the machinery should be put to the test by forcing the steam beyond the usual force and thus claw off the threatened danger. The engineer immediately directed the heads of two barrels of oil to be broken in, and the furnaces wee rapidly fed with wood dipped in the highly inflammable liquid, while two men with ladies dashed oil into the flames. The intense heat which these combustibles created, gener ated steam with the rapidity of lightning, and soon the resistless vapor forced up the safety valve,and issued forth with tremend ous violence, its sharp hissing heard above the wild uproar of the waters and the storm. With a desperate and determined courage, which equalled the most daring heroism that the page of history has ever recorded, the Engineer sat clown upon the lever of the safety valve, to confine and raise the steam to the necessary power required to propel the boat against the drifting waves! In this awful situation he calmly remained, until the prodigious efforts of the engine had forced the Constitution sufficiently off shore to be beyond the threatened dan ger. A Villain Exposed. The Akron (O hio) Balance gives a detailed account of a young villain of the most infamous descrip tion, calling himself Doctor John W. Her set, and who, in the space of one year, con trived to seduce into marriage three res pectable young ladies, who are now all living, and whom lie has successively a bandoned. It appears that he is from Ver mont, where he abandoned his wife in a few months; then came to Lockport, in this State, began to practice, and shortly married another. Soon after, he settled at Utica, in the family of Judge Dygert, a respectable citizen, and again commenced practice, having his wife, a girl about 16, boarding with him in the Judge’s family, and at school, under the assumed charac ter of his cousin. In a short time he elop ed with a niece of the Judge, to Middle bury, Ohio, leaving his second wife at the Judge’s. Finding he was now suspected, he abandoned the third wife and took to Buffalo, where lie was captured, handcuff ed and placed in the Oneida jail.—[New York Star. Central America. Letters of the 27th ult. from Belize, Honduras, state that the Guatamala was again in a complete state of revolution, the rebel chief Carrera having taken up arms against the Government for the second time, and with the aid of about 1000 men had cap tured the old city of Guatamala, nearly every house and church of which he had robbed. He was subsequently driven out by Gen. Lalagar, from near Guatamala af ter a severe action, in which 200 of his followers were killed.

Proposals For publishing in the city of Darien, Ga., anew weekly Newspaper, to be entitled the McINTOSH COUNTY HERALD, AND DARIEN COMMERCIAL REGISTER. rpHAT Newspapers are of great publie utili- X ly, will not, by any well informed indi vidual, be denied. Every citizen who desires to be acquainted with passing events—every one whose heart dilates at the prosperity of his country—who takes an interest in her welfare, should be a subscriber to at least one newspa per; and small indeed must be its value, if the instruction and amusement it affords, are not more than equivalent to the subscription. The columns of the Herald will be devoted to literature, politics, commerce, agriculture and news; knd the proprietor indulges the hope that while conducting a journal of such varie gated character, he may not only please, but instruct his readers. He is aware of the ex tensive and powerful influence of that great intellectual lever, the Press, and of the high responsibility devolving upon those who un dertake its control. He hopes, by prudent management, and with a competent support, to render his publication, as a medium of in telligence, interesting and useful. The latest and most important news of the day, foreign and domestic, will be carefully collected; and with miscellaneous articles, lit erary essays, and interesting moral tales, cal culated to improve the heart, and enlighten the understanding, conspicuously inserted. A proper attention will be paid to the department consecrated to the Muses. A full and connected sketch of the proceed ings of the Legislature and Congress, will be furnished in their proper seasons. In politics, the Herald shall be an indepen dent paper: advocating those measures which arc best calculated to perpetuate, the rich in heritance left by our fathers— a constitution sealed with their blood—and a union indisso luble and eternal. He will strenuously oppose any measure having the remotest tendency to violate the constitution, to infringe upon the rights of conscience, or lessen the rights ofthe independent States. He will, however, at all times, be pleased to publish well written com munications, upon all political subjects. Terms. The Herald will be printsd on a large imperial sheet, with new type,atf3 per year, in advance, or $4 at the expiration of the year.
