Wasiiinoton, Feb. 12, 1854. There is much talk concerning the M*-iican treaty, but we cannot yet say, as w*s said us the Gtladaloupe treaty, when that whs under consid eration in the Senate, “wo all know what the treaty is.” Hut wo soon will know, for we shall have it. as I learn, through the Mexican news i pn|ter, hv the next arrival, unless by sonic aeci [ j dent we get it before, as has been usual. There ! are ninny minors, also in regard to the atnciid ,j ments recommended by thcKsccutive to thetrea il. ] have reason to believe that they are of 1 little practical ini|>ortuiicc, and that they do not relate to or in any way atteet tho Tehuantepec question, or tlie iiideiuuity secured to American claimants. Tho agitation of the slavery oiiestioti, ns con nected with tho Kansas and Nebraska bill, np le-nrs to be tnrronsing in tho Northern States, hut still there is reason to lielieve that n major ity of the Northern people, la>tlt democrats and wliigs, are willing to leave the siitdcctof slavery ill tno territories hereafter to be formed to tho inhabitant* themselves. Those who have, so far, i prompted the agitation, are also hostile to all compromises, and es|iecia)ly so to tho fugitive slave Inw, which was a principal feature of the I compromise of 1850. The crowded galleries of the Senate chamber to-day were indicative of the intcicsttaken in the discussion of tho 1 touglashill. Mr. Weller made a stirring and forcible s|Mch in support ot the measure, ntid of the principle of nonintervention. • General Houston will follow^ to-morrow. Among the diplomatic nominations not hi re-, tofoie Inßeti up in the Senate, is that of Gen. | Gadsden, as Minister to Mexico. It was proba bly taken up and confirmed in the executive ses sion to-day. The subject of n new tariff will soon occupy the attention of Congress. The secretary of the Treasury has submitted his project to tin; com mittee of ways and means of the House, but it has not yet Wen considered by tliat committee. The project is similar, in its main features, to that which the Secretary proposed in his re port. Tho present is a suitable time for making a permanent mid satisfactory tariff, because it is no longer a subject of party ootitcst. If the commit tee cannot procure nil tho information hero that may ho desirable, in regard to somedetnils, they can easily obtain it by a visit of a tew week; to. thu Northern commercial cities. The tariff of 184(1 was niadc ohiotly under the vigilant super intendence of an outsider, Mr. Geo. I Lvight.Avho j impressed his own views upon the committee, I and made some mistakes, too, which ,wcre | corrected by legislation, or treasury decisions. | lon. The Gadsden Troaty Provisions. Washington, Feb. l:t, — The following are the principal provisions of Mr. Gadsden’s treaty now before the Senate. Ist. The new boundary commences two -nut- j rino leagues north of the mouth of the Colorado : giving us no access to tho Gulfoft'alifornia, and 1 goes between latitude thirty-one and thirty-two to the one hundred and eleventh dvgree of lon gitude west of Greenwich. 2d. It abrogates tlie 11th atticlo of the treaty I of Gaud,dupe Hidalgo, and cancels all claims of j Mexican citizens under that article.to date of rat ification. 3d. The United Slab s pay fifteen million of dollars in (monthly instalments of three millions each—the first payable on ratifying the treaty. 4th. Reserves nvg millions for claims of Amer ican citizens in Mexico, including the Garay grant. ‘• sth. llotli Governments agree to put down Filliliusterism, and pursue the Filibusters with army and navy into the other’s territory. oth. Agrees to refund goods and chattels sto len by Indian’s front citizens of the other’s coun try. The President Amends No. 5 by ssriking out the pursuit by land and sea into the other’s ter ritory, and ho amends, No. 4 by not mentioning nn v particular claim. The amendments are very important.. The “treaty will bo ratified in its new form. X. Terrible Scene at a Shipwreck. The Liverpool papers furnish full accounts of the wreck of the ship Tavleur, on the Irish coast, at the Island of Lantby, on the Hist of January, having 020 souls on hoard, of whom near 400 were lost. One of the passengers saved thus de scribes the scene: A raft was constructed, on which great num bers of persons embarked, but it was drifted against the rocks and upset., when all on it per ished. A rope was then convoyed on shore by one of the swimmers, and about one hundred at tempted to gain the rocks by clinging to it, when the vessel suddenly fell over on her side, which slackened one Cud of the rone and caused the en tire of them to letgo their hold. The whole of them were drowued. - The Captain, whose name was Noble, was saved, but the only part of his dress that he landed in was a flannel shirt. The surgeon of the ship, who had his wife and child on board, attempted.to swim to shore with his child on h back, and supporting bis lady with one arm, and swam with Hw other; the three, however, unfortunately perished* One lady had £3OOO in bank notes sewed up ft-b#r stays; she offer*-’ £2OOO to any one who womlMgßl'heF life, bn* in vain.—Klin also was dsowbed. —A child of five mouths old is saved, and tftth pW'j ents are drowned.

We Imvc between four and live thousand dollars of accounts on our books of subscription, many of which have been accumulating for years, and we ar* now sending them out. in the hope that our previous forliearanee will lie appreciated, and that, these who have enjoyed the benefits of our labors for so long a time, will now respond to our just de mands in a gentlemanly and honorable way. The expense and trouble of making out bills, renders it necessary for us to charge the published rates of. three dollars a year. It is entirely optional with; subscribers to save the e.itin dollar by adhering to; the cash system —by not doing so, wo presuinoj they prefer to pay tlie credit price. Public Documents. lion. D. A. will please accept our thanks‘ for House Document, containing President’s lies-; sage. &c. lion S. A. Docni.xms has also laid us under old;- i gat ion for copies of his speeches on the Nebraska bill. ‘ ‘ j. The Savannah Evening Journal. In tho absence of the principal, we acknowledge ! the courtesy of his reception in Savannah by our’ i cotemporary of the t'irtiinfi Jnurwil. He lias ever ’ bad u strong bias in favor of our seaboard city, and !on the occasion of bis first visit those little cour tesics w hich the Ji/iirnril has extended to him. can not fail to be highly gratifying. Our editor is not a “ showy ’’ man. but tho qualities of his head and heart will not suffer in comparison with those of j his more pretending cotemporaries. We tender the Jnnrn.il, in his behalf, our thanks for it* polite and friendly notice. Fish from Tennessee. In compliance with u gentle hint from friend j Snr.HRCU., we dropped into his eating house about the “ wi'ching hour” noon, on Friday last, to test the quality of some Tennessee river Ih urn.i Our neighbor of tho Jeffersonian hud preceded us. and was deep in the mysteries of the savory dish when we avtivrd. Tho dish ■ wasef-exeelh'nT'fTa ’ vor, delightfully seasoned and rooked to the np probation of the most approved epicurian taste, i Wc were delighted with it, and if the Major was , I not','there is no faith in signs, for we never wit ! nessed a more energetic attach, in front, flank and [rear, than our neighbor was making upon his trencher. If cook und host wore not compliment ed by the practical deinonstra'ion of the Major, no expression of ours could do the subject justice! Mr SiiKita r. 1,1. Informs us that ho has made ar rangements to have these fish and the blue cat sent jto hi.n regularly, for the accommodation of our i fish loving neighbors i ° Jl ... J j Steam Mill Burnt. p* We regret to learn that the Steam saw Mill of I Mr. John McDonough, was entirely consumed by ! fire, on the evening of the loth iast. The Mill ! was situated about 15 miles from Griffin, at t'ue end of the plank rojid, and was one of tlie princi , plo reliances of our citizens for lumber. The loss will full very heavily upon Mr. McDonough, who has but lately rebuilt the mills, which were pre viously dost roved by fire. We trust that the citi zens of Griffin will extend all the aid in their pow er to mitigate as much as possible this misfortune of a worthy and much respected fellow citizen. 4 Marshall College. Wc are informed that Mr. Aaron Cloud has ta ken the contract for building tho Marshall College in this city, and that the ground is being broken previous to laying the foundation. The building in to -be of briek and nH tho material of the most substantial kiml.Y- We have not learned the time at which it is proposed to complete the structure, j but presume there will bo no unnecessary delay under the supervision of so experienced a contract- or. Since writing the above, we arc informed that the contract stipulates for the completion of the college by tholst of January next., The Legislature HAS Adjourned! Doubtless our readers are familiar with the re ply of King George to the bishop, when interroga ted as to why he had appointed a day of general thanksgiving at a period of unwonted national re verses at homo and abroad, whilo his armies in America were every where being defeated. He wanted to “ thank God that things were no worse With equal cause may the people of Georgia he thankful that the Legislature has finally adjourned, and that “thingsnro no worse ” We challenge com. j parison with the actaofany preceding Legislature to prove this the most worthless and most expen sive the State of Georgia has ever known. A fair specimen of its important enactments ruay he found in the list of sets, on our first page (.the conclusion of which we shall give next woek.)

It docs the char acter of our city a manifest injustice, and is cal culated to create the impression that intemperance prevails to an “alarming” extent in our midst. This is not so. Tho writer has certainly drawn upon his imagination for the horrors which he de picts Who are these “ Moated specimens” of in temperance, how many are there of them, where j are they “manufactured “ and at what ‘•cottiers of the tercets'” is their repulsireness obtruded upon - the public gaze “ every hour of the day ?” Are all of “ our once energetic citizens rendered, some totally other* partially unfit for the duties-of life or citizenship !” Are lmlf!—area third ?-are fifty <_nre ten !—are Jice! Point out the nurn ; her of •-females, wives, motors, daughters, who ; arc shivering from coltT or famished from want. ;in our midst. A beautiful picture of our city to !go abroad, truly! A person who can thus permit I his zeal for tlie cause of temperance to overstep i the bounds of moderation and justice, is an enc ■my to the best interests of that cause. A man who would blast the reputation of an entire com- I inunity in order to givo point to an argument against the liquor trafic, and who, by implication, charges tho city authorities with stimulating in temperance and fostering a “den ot drunkenness,. | is pos-essed of more temerity than discretion— more zeal than candor. It seems to ns that a pro-! ! per regard for tlie feelings of our citizens and the | i reputation of the city, would have dictated a less j , obnoxious manner of discussion. \\ c deny that j the citizens of Gridin, as a class, are intemperate, j | or that there is an excess of dissipation here over j i any other ; lace of its size and population. Nay. I i more; we eonscionsciously believe that Griffin will j not suffer in comparison with uny place in the State in this respect. i This much is duo in defence of our city, amt ri ; justice to those friends of temperance in the eom : inanity who, we feel assured, will condemn the ’ article below as void ol foundation in fa t. ’ Editor ok tiik I’mon : t In your last issue wa- an article byPro Bono Publico ‘ who strongly urged the re-election of ! thi- present Mayor and Aldermen It is nut doubt ’ ed that much of the encomium bestowed upon our city’s fathers in said article is just iuhL verit.-d -f N’w'dnuht"nfflOTlimrc migbt’be truly said in com ! nic.ndation <d’ them. 1 he bUTilen ot tax-ttien has., i not been materially increased: the streets have j | been much improved, and the revenues ui the city ; have been dispensed very liberally to nearly alii , claimants or applicants. ’ lint who of t.e citizens or visit-rs has not re-, marked the alarming increase of dsunlo-nae.-s in j j our streets, resorts and private abodes !

Our worthy Mayor, sanctioned aud applauded ■j by our noble b ard of Aldermen, has benevolently 1 gifted the larger porti nos his salary to bring some littfe comfort to our many rum-cursod abode.,. But the whole fortune of our opulent Mayor, tiiu n liecntly distributed among the “wives worse thnn widow*” would not compensate for the vir tue of their husbands. The full out-gushing of the paternal hearts of tho “Worthy .Mayor and Aldermen,” and their active zeal in alleviating poverty and distress will avail little to the suffer ! |ng innocents in mitigating the smart of the ‘ ruin : plague ” in otn’ city. It may be reason ally doubted, whether our pre sent-‘city government ’’ if re-instated, with their i views of duty, would not still iurtjieraugment this j great evil, and increase the number ot groceries, j Our citizens will be called upon at the’ uext elec i tion to decide whether Griffin shall become 3 “den ol’drunkenness,” or an educational centre. * .

North lati tude, westwardly across the Arkansas, across the north fork of Canadian, to hortbsastern an gle of Texas “, then follow the northeastern boun dary of Texas to the western limit of New Jdet ieo; then proceed along that line to its northern termination; then again turn westwardly, and follow tlie northern line of New Mexico to the crest of the Rocky mountains; then ascend northwardly along the crest of that mountain range to the Hue which separates the United States from the British Possessions in North America, on tlie 49th parallel of North latitude; then pursue yonr course eastwardly along that line to the White Earth River, which fails into the Missouri from the North ; descend that river to its confluence with the Missouri ; de scend the Missouri along the Western boundary of Minesota, of low a, of Missouri, to the point where it ceases to be a boundary line, and enters the State to which it gives its name ; then con tinue vour southward course along *he western limit of the State to the point from which you set out.
