Mr. Underwood reported luck from ilio Conunitttee >n Public Lauda the] join; ri - dution making bounty land warrant* us r-igtiable. “ The consul station of the resolution of Mr. Se wajjl welcoming Kossuth. was then resumed. Mr. Sumner spoke in favor of the resolution, a id said that when passed it would he an act of no mean significance in the history of our coun try. Mr Stockton al-o supported the resolution: al though he desired to say that the sentiments ut. trod by Kossuth and others on the other side of t'te Atlantic, in re-pict to the monarchy of Great Britain and its practical workings upon the people were not his sentiments. In conclusion lie argued that the destiny of this nation was that of supreme power, a power great ‘j than any other nation in existence : and when that destiny fdlonld he fttl lilled. lie considered that war. as a last resort, for the settlement ofnational difficulties, would cease In the power to dictate, the American nation would dictate peace to the world. Mr. Clemons said the resolution no‘ only nfford el a subject for a good speech, hut one which cn nhled those who knew the host of it to make the hest speeches For his own part he considered that much of the sympathy’ which had heen ex pressed for the cause of Republicanism in Hunga ry was misplaced. The struggle in Hungary at its commencement was a war of races, lie read certain papers addressed by Kossuth to Austria in which aid was asked again.-t the Selavoniaii peo ]do. His prayer to Austria was to cstabli.-li the supremacy ol the Magyars, and the suppres'-ion of the Sclavonians a race double the number of the Magyars. Kossuth now preached lie uhlieanisni even under the shadow of a thorhe ; blithe did not preach it until lie had failed in his claims for an iron rule in the hands of the Magyars. He went o.i to say that we could find sympathy for Kos suth, hut none for the fifty Americans who were murdered at Cuba, Messrs. Shields and Foote replied in defence of Kossuth, after which the subject was laid over till tomorrow. In the House a joint resolution making the land warrants under the act of September, 15.50, assign able. tjie same as Mexican war warrants, was un der the operation ol the previous ipiestiou. read a third time and passed | think it will he eoiicur re 1 in by the Senate without debate. Mr. M’alsli presented the memorial of the Na tional Convention ol Printers, complaining of the evils of the present contract system of executing the public printing, and ask ng a remedy It was referred to the Committee on printing. Mr. Smith oi Alabama, amidst much laughter, asked leave to give notice that lie should introduce a resolution requesting ihc Secretary id” State to furnish Louis Kossuth with a copy of our laws do lining treason and misdemeanors: contemplating’ further, that after having understood the law-in relation to ihe same, he shall continue to make in cendiary speeches, it shall he (lie solemn duty of the President to ha ve him arrested. in reply to a question by Mr. Stanton of Ken tucky, Mr Smith eo.id to 1 did not wish to re-enact the Alien and Sedition laws : hut simply wished. to avoid any future I’ntnpcro expeditions. After some discussion on points of order, Mr. Smith tiled his notice of a resolution. Messrs Robinson and Doty then made ineffee- ‘ tual motions tor leave to introduce resolutions com plimentary to Kossuth. Mr. Smart introduced a hill, which was refer red to the Judiciary Committee, j rohibiting the i prosecution ol claims against (iovormuent by heads oi Dep irtments and members of Congress, during their respective terms of service lie said every one I knew that Senators and Representatives, and t ab met officers, had received large amounts of money as contingent fees in prosecuting claims. There was a law on the Statute book that no member of ( nngres.t shall make a contract, and yet some t me i-.inc,\ a member got >'7s OOt) as a contingent fee in prosecuting a claim. .Mr, Johnson, ol Tonncsspo, introduced his hill j giving land to every head of a family iu the Uni- j ted States, on condition of actual occupancy It was referred to the committee on Agriculture, which 1 presume will he the lust wo shall hear of -it. Mr McMullen gave notice of a hill asking for ithe moderate quantity of five hundred thousand aerosol land in aid of the Virginia and Tennes see Rail Road Company. Mr. Rodiseo gave a large party last evening to the members ot Congress, lie is a wily diplomatist, aad is aware that n good supper is a formidable weapon against Kossuth, lie is a daily attendant of the Senate Chamber, and watches the proceed ings with much eagerness. Lola .Montes is expected to vis t this city in a week or two, when multitudes will go to see her performance, just out of curiosity. I see it .•tated that the accounts of Mr. (’lay’s ill he.-vUii arc erroneous. Pacts arc stubborn tilings. It is true lie is no worse than ho was on Saturday, but he is racked by a cough, and is compelled to recline constantly on bed or a sofa. It is to he hoped that he will recover, although his friends en tertain serious concern on the subject. Messrs. Corcoran 8. Riggs, and Weldon, Sobers & Cos. hankers ol this city are at war on the sub ject of the dep cites of the House funds. Speak er Boyd. wishing to be impart.al. ordered that the deposites should be equally and ‘voted between the (two establishments, hut Corcoran & Riggs, refined .to subiv t t<o the arrangement, and declined re al .‘iving any Commodore Stockton has been nominated for the Presidency, by twenty-two papers. The Od i Fellows are so rapid y increasing in this City, that they are preparing for the erection of another large Hall. The amount they have ex pended in charity during the past yegr is very great. The Post Office Committee of the House, “ ill without delay, prepare a bill to amend the law rel ative to the postage on newspapers The Rev. Mr. Gallshor. of Missouri one of the candidate* for the Chaplaincy, has been preach ing for nearly forty years. During the early part of his life, he lived with his parents in a tort on tho frontier for protection against the Indians. Almost every night the incendiaries are at work j.a this city A large reward lias heen offered by .the Mayor, but without effect. If the Fire Anni hila or C impany, of which the first Comtroller of |’i p treasury is President, can lessen the evil, mw ]is their time. It appears however, that the chem j ioal compound cannot he manufactured properly j in this country, and that an agent has heen sent! to England fi,r instruetions. In the month of July last, the Pension Office is sued a land warrant of 100 acres to an old soldier, named David lluslettcr. a resident of Ohio, ‘i he j ■ ‘dd man went a journey of over a thousand mints and after locating his warrant, ic-nt on the eerti-: j lieatc of location to the land office here, for a pa tent. But yon’erday Its attorney was notified by ; ! tlieCoiiiiniijs.ioiier o Peiisons. that tho ICO acre’ i warrant hem issued by mistake, and that Jloslct- j ter was entitled tooiily 80 aero.;. So by the blun der. he will hive to .-urrmder his former warrant. : and wait for anew one for half tlie amount, upon ’ the reception if which lie is at liberty to repeat bis journey to the far we t for another location. He] was of Hull s army, but refusing to be surrendered with the other:, he would have been allowed tho term of hi - iingiv oiiiiieiit, received his pay and full amount of land In num trims instances men who served only one ] day less limit a mouth, are denied their land, al-j i though they were in many eases participators inf : hard fought battles. while others who ran away: at the iiludciiburg affair, hut who kept in the ser- [ ’ vice fora full got their*laud without dilii-1 , outiy. It is to be Imped that Congress will so amend tho bounty and law as to remedy the evil. | V Washington, Dee. 12. 1851. 11l the Somifff thm morning, among the memo-j 1 rials was one from ‘ .enerul 1 aleolt, late of llic Or-; dimmer Department complaining of the veidictof the Court iUurtial, by wlneli lie wasdisin used from ] service, and asking an investigation of all the frets. Ho has strong hope of getting reinstated. Mr. Hunter gave no.ice ot a bill to establish a hoard of Accounts, fur the settlement of all claims 1 against the various Departments of Government. 1 here appears to he a disposition on the part uj Ihe majority to pass this measure at an cany pe riod of tin* .-ession. Then, and not till’ then vv lj | claimants rtsce ve proper attention. ] Mr. Miller gave notice of a bill amendatory of the patent laws. ‘1 lie cull for such a step is im perative, for as the patent laws now stand, the poor inventor is entirely utt lie mercy of the rich de predator upon his rights Among the resolutions adopted, was one by Mr. Fish, calling for a copy of Hie proceedings ol the l ourt Annual iu the ease of Gen.

It is to he I Hoped mat speedy action will be had for alnm.-i every vessel widen arrives from that quarter fur- j lushes udditiutitti evidence of these grievances. | Air. Underwood introduced a bill fur the revi-1 skin of the Mu!iu,■ Laws and Acts of Congress, j which uro now in force in this District. At pre i sent the statutes are so mixed up with the old turn | ot Maryland that much injustice infrequently done j and many offenders go inipuni ited. Alter tiie disposal oi some miscellaneous bnsi- ] ness, the voting for u 1 illinium commenced. Fi- 1 ■ * | i unity the Rev. Dr. butler, ail Iqiiseo, ill Clergy- i ( ; man of this City, was elected. Ihe resolution of Mr. Seward, welcoming Kos 1 | suitli, was then taken up and debated till a late ! j hour, when a motion wtu made to adjourn to Mon day next. This failed, as the majority wish to , dispose of the resolution, if possible, to-morrow. In the I louse there is great dissatisfaction rela tive (lie (standing Committees, and many of the Chairmen do not appear at all pleased with their appointments. After the morning business, Air. Houston offered ! the resolutions referring the various subjects in | the President's Annual Message to appropriate! Committees. Tho resolutions were taken up in Committee of tho Win do, when by tho usual licence on such oc casions, the Pres dent's Message was not referred to, hut tho whole timo was occupied by a debate on a hill introduced by Mr. Ha 1 of Missouri, ask ing land fora certain rail road in that State. A communication was received from the Secre tary of War, in answer toil resolution of last Con gress, calling for information relative to fortifica tions. This had been called for with t lie view of mailing a retrenchment of the large expenditures I annually made for such purposes. Tho Speaker laid before the House the acts of the Greek House of Deputies for 18-18 and 18-I'J pre sented by that body to the American Congress.— if aP other Legislative bodies would follow the ex ample the ixvhimge would lie very henetieir.l. Mr. Houston who appears to bequitc at ease in his new berth of Chairman of the Committee on t Ways and Means, lodged a complaint about the ] non appearance of the Grecian estimate. ■Mr. Brooks laid the whole blame on the printer, who being an irresponsible s.trt of jersou is better able to bear it than tho Secretary. Mr. Aiken of your city asked leave to introduce j a resolution relative to the granting of Bounty! Lands to certain volunteer companies of South j Carol na, who were engaged in the Florida War. but who were discharged before the expiration of, one month. Objections being made, the motion was w th- j drawn. Those are hard eases, and 1 trust the a mendatory l and Bill, now before the House will •Injustice to all who are not now entitled to land because they served perhaps twenty-four hours less than a month. The Hon e then adjourned to Monday next. Washington. Pec. 13, 18.51. In the Senate. Air. Cuss called u his resolution of inquiry, relative to the firing into the Promethe us by the British on the Musquito coast. He said he knew nothing of the facts of the case, except as they were communicated by the officer who et nmiandi and the vossc : hut it was our duty to see that our flag was in Ileuses kept snored and invi olate In the course of his remarks lie alluded to the statement that France and England have com bined to protect Cuba, and maintained that if this were the truth, it was nothing less than a desire to ! establish the right of search in anew p ace. j The resolution was finally adopted, and the Pres ] idont will no doubt respond to thecal ear y next week. In the mean time (he answer of Lord I ul merston on the suljtctvvill he looked for with much anxiety. If lie should detend the act, mat ters will wear a serious aspect. Air. Seward's resolution, welcoming Kossuth, was again taken up. . Air. Alallory advocated it, although lie disnp i I roved of the principle of intervention. lie was followed on the other side by Air. Badger, lie . denied tliut Kossuth had ever been invited by eith er Congress or the Lxecutive. all that was contem plated being the offer to afford him and his com panions an asylum, if they should so desire. They I were viewed as political exiles from oppression and not a> revolutionary emissaries, having in view future action on the European continent. He also contended that Kossuth, in consequence of having | assumed the attitude of an agitator, had forfeited ! all his right to a welcome. A conversational discussion arose between Alcs . rs. Badger and Foote, in which the lat ter repeat ed his former stati merit that'thc mention hereto. ; fore introduced by him, hut withdrawn, was pre | pared and brought forward in the .Sena*' 1 at the j ituggession of Air. Webster, and at a subsequent I stage of the proceedings, lie said it was not likely | | Mr. Webster would have made the suggestion, had 1 j lie not supposed at the time that such, a resolution I ! wool 1 bear a construction favorable to the idea of : Kossuth of an armed intervention in European af fairs. Mr. Badger controverted the idea, and contended that our Government was not committed in any form whatever, Mr. Seward rop'icd in favor of the resolution and finally after the rejection of several proposed amendments, it was adopted as originally intro duced by him—yeas 33. nays 0. Ihe negativo votes were Alex-tr.s. Badger. Borland. ( li-iu -n Dawson. Alorton arid Underwood, ‘i he re.o'.utionj being a joint one. will go to the House on Aion-1 day, to which day that body has adjourned. Our city fathers are ally puzzled iu relation to! Kossuth. Thu uncertainty as o his coming ori keeps them in a per dual fever. If lie should come on, lie will behold the leanest Aldermen! north of Mason and Dixon's lino, for the city is tec i poor to afford them turtle sou 1 as in Charleston. The verdict of acquittal, in the I’hiladclphii treason trial, is what was expected, and from th* rocceding it is now very evident that ho jury in that State could he induced to convict on such an indictment. Hence the future presents a lowering aspect. Mr. Clay rode out this morning, which much j benefitted him. Yestoyday some mischievous per ! son sent a despatch to Pittsburgh announcing his death. John AL Butts is here talking polities, lie thinks ho ought to have been elected, and trusts] for better luck next time. Brown's imn vise Hotel is rapidly filing.

Gentlemen :— -The House having passed tin* 51 , -It* bill, organizing ‘ Polk ‘ county, took up the re mainder of the s] eeial order of the day. being the j’ hill to create and lay off anew county from Aleri- j • wether. Coweta and Fayette. This hit encounter- j ed much opposition. Its leading friends were Messrs. Hill and Thurmond, and its principal o - ponents were Messrs. Harris of Clark, ( lark o Stewart. Robinson of Macon, and Harper. The vote on its assage. stood yeas 10, and nays 89. The House refused, by a vote of 37 to 5-1, to re- 1 lease certain persons in Chattooga county, from t the payment of a bond for £SOO. for the tip ear- 1 unco of one who had committed a violent assault 1 . and who has fled from justice. The Legislature did well. Lot nteu he fought, that when they he- . come securities for offenders of the law. they must expect to comply with their obligations to the let ter. If such in-ecedents he established, the gross est violators of law will experience no difficulty in obtaining ureties. anil will lie encouraged to ab scond. A question full of interest to the law liv ing portion of our country may be asked, just here, in connection with the above notion of the House if it he wrong to re ease the securities of criminals from their liabilities, what should be done with those criminals who ask to be pardoned from I their crimes ! 1 tun sorry to learn that much dis- ‘ , %# * - l : satisfaction prevails in some parts of our State, in regard to the action of the present Legislature, on i’ severa eases of murder. An effort was made this afternoon to procure the passage ot the bill to establish an election precinct j nt every magistrate's court ground in the State.— j The sense of the House may be inferred from the , vote on a motion to amend it. so as to make it ap ply to the county of Gwinnett only.— The yeas were 01, nays 34. These election i recincts should be established with great caution, as it is well known that some of them are great political nuis j anees. It is impossible to predict the fate of Air. Tift's bilk reported in my letter of this forenoon. Judg ing from the vote on a motion to print it, it will! tare but poorly. At the same time, it cannot be j denied that the South has the power, if she choose ]’ to exercise it, to bringthc North toils right senses > in regard to the abolition of slavery and kindred measures. It Air. ‘1 ift s pro osition cannot reach slavery agitation in ami out of Congress, the Southern and western States combining, through their representatives in the National Legblaturo, to abolish our Navigation Caws, to remove the ! duty from Sal), or any other such measure, bearing ! 1 upon their peculiar commercial interest, would present to them a plain, practical question of dol lars-nnd cents, which they would be apt to feel more sens bly and fervently, than any labored ar gument about constitutional right and justice, 4:c. ] l do-uot pretend to be no fin in such matters, and hence barely touch upon them. December, 10th. gentlemen’ :—The House has agreed to recon jq|#r the motion, hut on yesterday, to print Mr, Tiffs hill. ; ] The hill to which I have alluded above, propo ] sing, originally, to dot the State, densely, with elcitii.n precinct, was emended by the incorpora tion of the counties of Gwinnet, Cass, Clinch, Gor ] don, Emanuel, l ike. Spa ding and a few others, and passed by a vote of 09 to 33. : On Mr. Bartow's motion, the I louse reconsidered the hill rejected on yesterday, releasing certain > sureties in Chattooga county, from the payment of : u forfeited bond. The first special order—the Tax hill—was taken up and postponed to Friday next. The second special order—the hill for giving the electi’ n oi Judges to the people—was next ta k n up. Mr. Seward offered as a substitute, the hill of .Mr. Russell, reported on icsterday. hearing a title similar to that of the original, but more minute in j ff--ta..'“ which the House is now employed in perfect ng. ! In the Senate, Air. John Hird kus introduced a hill to repeal the act of 1849, repealing all laws prohibiting the introduction of slaves into this i Slate. Mr. Hannan laid a resolution <;u the table, ask ing for the appointment of a select Committee to consider the expediency of removing tho l’eniten • iarv from this place. The resolution wa’ 1 taken up. agreed to. and Messrs. Harman, Calhoun and i mnlin were appointed said Committee. Air. i loiirnoy has introduced a hill to incur o itile the •'Aliimii'aclurers Bank of Columbus.” Al-o. a resolution, that the Legislature will take a re |'• -s from the 23d inst. to the second Monday in ’ ..titulary next, and that no new mutter shall he I brought before the hotly after such recess. The resolution lies oil the table. i lie hill to reorganize the Congressional T is triets of tiiis State, i* made the special order for t( -morrow. By the easting vote of the Pres’dent, the Senate reconsidered the rejected bill, restoring the annual session of the Legislature. ’lhe vote “as yeas J !. nays 1.. Air. Simmons from the Judicial Committee, re ported a substitute for the hill abolishing capital Tin* Now, that the law-givers of Georgia have re’ turned tothe seat of Government, and resumed their arduous duties, we beg leave to throw out a few suggestions. W’e are almost daily asked some thing like the fol owing qeiistio-is, viz . What is tho Legislature doing ! Will it be likely to utjjourn by January. \\ ill its members ‘■ take a recess during the Christmas iio idays f or, will they press tiie pub ie business to an early com pletion, In answer to these questions, we have to say that one branch of the General Assembly, the : Senate is doing admirably we 1. It isenipliatical-! y a business body. It members though not re markable for alent, are practical men —men ol sound judgment-. They are not given to much j speeciiing. and therefore progress rapid y with their im-enoss. The House, on the contrary, is a talking body It- is composed, to some extent, of unexperienced ambitious men—men who love to give the ‘dar gest liberty” to the tongue men who seem to think that the importance of a legislator depends t.pun the liiunbe of his speeches, and that the value of a speech is to he estimated hv its length rather than by its point and piquancy. For this] reason among others, th House is far behind the j Senate in its business rogress. In connection with these remarks, we feel hound i to say, for the present legislature, that it is the most laborious hotly which we have ever seen in Milledgevil e. It has met car ier. and protracted its sessions ater. than any previous assembyever convened at the Capito . Win owe must confess] th.it there is too much talking, we cannot shut our ; ■ yes to the fuel that there lias been an immense! accumulation of public business during the last tear. There have a’rea ly been resented nearly four times as many hills as were reported in 1838. ILeu. wo had annual sessions of eight weeks each Now. with double population, and four times the business -with biennial sessions, and al our great Rai road. Agricultural and commercial interests to caro for, how is it to be expected that the work can be done in the same time ? The i lea is pre posterous. We do not think, therefore, that the present leg Mature will he enabed to adjourn until somotini e in January-perlta s the 2'Jtli of the month.— There is no reason why its members should take a recess, unless they arc regardless of the public in terest. It is abso utely necessary that many of the more important subjects of legislation should be sett ed before the first of January The bills for the State Road, for the Penitentiary, for the Asy lums. for levying taxes and making ap ropriations, ought all to be acted upon by that time. All these bills can be discussed and passed in ten days—say by the 28tli of the present month- Let the legislature do this—then, alter the consti tution so us to provide for annual sessions—pass the most , ressing loea bil sand adjourn. Al this can be nccom islied before the 29th of January, if there is a recess, the session will not be closed before the middle of February, or the Ist of Alareli We protest, in the name of the people, against any such policy, and we ledge ourselves, ir, ad vance. to holcUup to popular reprobation each and every man who advocates it. We have sufficient confidence in the members of tho present legisla ture. to believe that they will not countenance of, adopt any such schemes for wasting thepublie time; anil public money. They arc generally gentlemen I of character, of consideration, and of sound, dis criminating judgment. We feel confident, there fore. that there will be no recess—tlmt the pub ic bu iness will be pressed to completion with all pos sible despatch, and that the legislature wi 1 ad j journ at least by tiie 20th of January. —Tourn il : if- Mesfgvser. ° The Tieason trills nre progressing i, Phthnlol In the case of Hanaw.iy. the prospects Ins dosed and the defence ro nmen -e I on Tuesday.

Py the advice of friends from different arts of the county, we ] üblish to-day. a call for a Union Convention, to consider of the roposed compro mise. and act w th it as to the majority of the U nion party shall seem best. This Convention has been cal cd to meet before the one proposed bv the meeting on Friday, in order that the Union party may determine beforehand: whether they will re ceive and carry out the compromise tendered. If the Union party refuse the compromise, they will have nothing to do but proceed immediately to nominate a Union ticket for county officers. If when they meet they agree to adept the compro mise, they will then appo nt their delegates to | meet on Saturday and notn nate such candidates as are assigned to them in the compromise. The object in calling the Union Convention, is jto secure unity of feeling and concert of action l in the Union party. If a majority of the Union arty are for the compromise, it ought to be carried out by them, f the opposite party stand up to it in good faith : but if a majority are o osed to t it ought to be abandoned and a full Union ticket nom’natcd. We hope that every Union man will come out to the Convention and give his vote, e thcr for or against the compromise. Let none stay away and t then com lain against the action of those who do attend. The Conventioc is called so that every Union man may be heard | The weather, for the last t ‘x or eight days has been excessively cold—so much so that we are ncariy ..frtie up.” In the middle and lower counties.

Most softly to thy lips I how And leave an impress there : Finch saddtsti-ng thought I list to hear— Each sorrow I may share. I twine my arms around thy neck, An 1 fondly there I cling ; 1 lean my head upon thy breast To hear thee sweetly sing. When duty ids thee go away,— I sadly say, good bye : I watch thee far. far on the way And lift a prayer on high. I turn and seek for other joy,— Alas ! all joy is gone. There's nought to cheer—there g no cmplqy F'or I am all alone. When time rolls round and brings thee near, And echos round, ‘Tie's come !” My heart's a 1 joy —the world's all cheer, To smile on thy “welcome home.” Then, when at eve the day's works done— We talk God s mercy's o'er. ’Tis sweet to bow before his throne, And ask to love Film more.
