Before the Senate adjourned, Mr. Hull, of
Clarke, made the following remarks, whioh were
attentively listened to with a melancholy interest;
Mr. President, I have been detained from my
seat hero much longer than I intended, or than a
sense of duty would have approved, but for the
peculiar circumstances which caused my continued
absence. Sir, I will not attempt now to portray
the gloom which overcast our community when it
was known that Charles Dougherty had been sud
denly Bnttohed from our midst. A clap of thun
der on this cloudless day could not be heard with
such astonishment. Last Saturday morning Judge
Dougherty had gone out to spend the day with
several friends, in the recreation of bird-hunting.
He was passing from one field to another, and in
the act of olimbing a fence, which divided them,
when he suddenly fell back on his head and in a
few moments expired. It was at first supposed
that his death had been produced by dislocation
received from the fall, but on examinttion by the
phyrieiaus of Athens, showed that a stroke ofapo
plexy had occasioned this melancholy calamity.
Thus has fallen, emphatically, a great and good
man. I knew Judge Dougherty long and inti
mately, and few purer or bettor men have I ever
known. He was; sir, for several sessions, a mem
ber of the Legislature, and in this branch he was
ohoeen to fill the high position you have now the
honor to hold, and most gracefully and ably he
discharged its duties. In Bhort, as Judge on the
bench of the Superior Court, as Trustee of the
University, as a husband and father and as friend
and neighbor, he manifested the higest qualities,
and was sn ornament to sooiety. His funeral was
a public one, and attended by one of the largest
assemblages of mourning people that I have ever
seen. Not only was it attended by almost every
one in Athens, but by many friends from the
counties adjacent, who had known and laved him.
Hie two brothers and only daughter were sentjfor
and reached Athens in time to see the last honors
paid to their beloved relative.
I have made these remarks in respect to one who
wa* here amongst us two weeks ago, moving about
in all the manliness of high health, and whose
sodden death is, 1 am sure, deeply lamented by
every member of this Senate. Though I have no
motion to mako ? I have thought that what I have
said on this occasion would not be unacceptable,
and I thank the Senate for the attention which
they have given me.

The State Bead.
UauMimu, Dec. 4.
Mb. Editob:— ln your peper of Wednesday, I
presented some observations in regard to the past
history cf the Western & Atlantic Railroad, prov
ing indisputably that the State has suffered great
expense for its construction end constant repairs,
and has not ?et realized a single dollar of revenue
from that great work, and that there is but a slim
prospect of the future being more prolific then the
past under the present system. It must be appa
rent that the system itself is radically wrong.
It has been proposed to place this Road under
the charge of a Board of Commissioners, who
shallexercioe the same powers of control now held
by the Governor. They shall revise and approve
or disapprove of the conduct of the Superinten
dent and the subordinate officers. This plan has
not, I think, the first ground for its recommenda
tion. The evil which now eiists would not be
remedied. The same waut of pei sonal and pecu
niary interest would result in a small revenue, '
which would not probably meet the debts and ex
penditures of the Road. There would be none of 1
that eternal vigilance, that careful economy, that 1
lynx-eyed watchfulness, which never fails to pro
duce success in every private enterprise.
The Commissioner* would be found probably 1
once or twice a year examining the books, making ’
a hurried and inefficient run over the road, taking c
an indifferent view of ita condition and equip- 1
ments, make a few general suggestions, and a *
complimentary report of the flourishing business t
which their road was doing. f
It is sincerely to be desired that no such plan may 1
be adopted by our Legislature, but that they may f
make an entire revolution in the system of man- <3
agement, which will accrue to the best interests of
the State, realise the largest revenue, and ensure e
the safest control for a work which has been and s
will bo the pride of Georgia when properly regu- 0
ated. And this plan is, in my humble judgment, •
the tearing of the Hoad to some Company which l!
may be hereafter formed, as is proposed in the
Bill which has been introduced into the House of "
Representatives by Mr. Walker, ol Richmond, as
Chairman of the Internal Improvement Commit- v
tee. fl
That measure contemplates the formation of a
Stock Company, whose capital shall be Five Hun
dred Thousand Dollars, and who shall hold this
road for twenty years. They shall pay the sum of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars per annum
in semi-annual instalments. Due provisions are
made for the road being returned to the Slate, af
ter the expiration of the lease, in as good order
as when pluccd in the hands of the company.
By this bill the State will realise a large revenue,
It not equal to what it ought to be, still a much
larger one than there is any prospect of her re
ceiving under the system that now governs the
Western and Atlantic Hoad. A company whose
interest it will be to make it profitable, will assume
the charge of the work. A responsible President
will be elected by a Board of Directors, in the
same manner that is now done by the Georgia
Railroad or Central Railroad Companies, and
which has so signally contributed to the great suc
cess of those noble enterprises.
Presenting such facts before the people of the
State, and effaring such prospects of a public
revenue for the extinguishment of the State debt,
or the oromotion of other necessary purposes, we
contend that a due regard for economy and for the
material interests of Georgia, must dictate the
adoption of this wise measure.
It is said, however, that the road will be re
turned in a much worse condition than it is now,
that the Company who shall take charge of it will
wear it out and return it to the State in twenty
years, to be again repaired at an expense cost.
This objection, a good one at first sight, will dis
appear, when it is seen that suoh guarantees will
be demanded from the Company, as shall be satis
factory for the preservation of the road in as com
plete order as it now is, or as it will be when the
Lessees take possession.
Will not the public sentiment of the State of
Georgia, oall loudly upon the Legislature for the
passage of this bill. Georgia.

Life In MlUedgevUle—Another Letter irom Quip.
The mighty flood of strangers which the conve
ning of the Legislature had produced is upon the
ebb and stream of “life in Milledgeville,’’ is now
almost within the channel to which it is accustom
ed during the presence of our law-givers. The
logion crowd of office-seekers, convinced that the
preset t Legislature cannot “ appreciate true me
rit,” and fully satisfied with the tender, made by
them from the most disinterested and patriotic mo
tives of their greatly to be detired services, to aid
in developing the material, social and political
-wahwwaa-of thia great nottwiommilth, hang rm
tired from the scene of aotion in dignified disgust,
tho living monuments of the uncertainty attend
ant on “ princes’ smiles,” and of the proverbial
ingiutitude of republics. Thanks to fortune I we
ouco more breathe free, and life’s transitory plea
sures aro before ub to enjoy as we may.
We have been not a little amused at witnessing
the diversified channels through which legislative
life flows along. To our grave and reverend sages,
some of whom have grown gray hi the service) of
the State, are confided the business details of legis
lation, their duty being to devise the meaus and
appliances by which the “Empire State of the
South” is to be maintained in her position ; to
the young men are entrusted those soul-stirring
appeals to tho audience, in defence of the jeopar
died rights of the “ dear people,” with an occa
sional oratorical display, and grand flourish of
sentiment to the “bright array of beauty ” in the
gallery, or a telling speech to Buncombe; while a
third party, who are neither emulous of honor,
nor covetous of the emoluments of office, but
Phmton-like, toomuoh given to “wild-oat sow
ing ” to be entrusted with the reins of govern
ment, are permitted to create a sensation among
the natives, show themselves “posted up," and
give an exhibit of “ the hand they hold." A few
practical business men do the entire work of le
gislation, while our young Solons, exoept when
their votes are necessary to sustain a political ma
neuvro, are free to amuse themselves as best they
may.
Life here, ns elsewhere, has its peculiar phases.
Upon some the business of legislation with its in
tricate details, its ramified interests and its mo
mentous responsibilities presses its weight of
cares; to others the elegant and rechticht entertain
ments of “Sandy Hollow,” where the “Cyprian
Queen ” reigns, and the wild excitement of the
thronged saloons and crowded levoes of the fickle
Goddess, whose capricious smiles ore woed with
all the frenzied zeal of an eastern devotee—in vul
gar parlance whoro they “fight the tiger”—
present irresistible attractions; while a third
class, denizens for the time being, of the metropo
lis, equally divide their time between the toilet,
the table, the conch and the current gossip of tho
day.
Among the incidents of the times may be men
tioned the meeting of the Conservative Union
party on Wednesday, the 16th iust., and the Anti-
Liquor Traffic Convention on that night week.
The proceedings of the former, and the resolutions
adopted by it are, doubtless, before you ere this.
It is worthy of note, however, that a new chris
tening was deemed necessary on the occasion.
The baptismal ceremony took place with due
solemnity, and the name bestowed was “ the Union
Republican party. This is right—the name of the
child should evince its paternity.
The Temperance Convention assembled in the
Hall of tho House ol Representatives, quite a large
audience, among them quite a sprinkling of Sena
tors and Representatives, being present. The
meeting was addressed by Prof. L. J. Smith, of
Newton county, one of the Faculty of Emory Col
lege, Lester, of Forsyth, and Rev. Dabney P.
Jones, better known as “Old Blucher.” The Pr
feasor having landed too highly the spitting abili
ties of the Legialulure of ’sl, occasioned quite an
interesting paasage-at-arms between himself and a
distinguished Representative from Wilkes. The
learned lecturer, however, made the stgtendthonor
able, and the affair passed off quietlyf While we
do not feel free “to hazzard an expreesion of
opinion ” as to the merits of this question, we can
not resist the present oocasion to rescue from un
merited obscurity a little incident, growing out of
the “trip to Savannah,” which, we are persnadtdi
will remeve much of the odium sought to be cast
upon it.
One very worthy old gentleman, a member of
the Legislature, who perhaps conscientiously be
lieved it to be his duty to be particularly drank all
the time to discharge the dntiee of a legislator
properly, no sooner heard of the passage of the
resolution accepting the invitation to Savannah
than he became sober immediately. In vain were
repeated attempts made to seduce him into the
worship of the atrange goda of “ the city of Ogle
thorp”—whether it was that his affections were
behind with his own Penates—good old gin, ram,
whiskey and brandy; or, that he looked with dis
trust upon these Btrange gods offered to his wor
ship—champaigne, burgundy, hock and tokay—as
dangerous intruders into the houtthold of hit afee
lions, we know not—suffice it to soy, ha remained
firm in his integrity. The circean gayetieeof “ the
city of Pride of Indies ” were displayed in all their
enchanting elegance, he looked upon them with
the coolest indifference—the soft blandishments of
the wine-cup and tha goblet, the fascinating allure
ments of that voluptnous epicurean philosophy,
carried to such a state of perfection in that far
fwntA city, the refined aud cultivated hospitality of
its generous-hearted citizens and those seductive
and mtUouing influences with which (if rumor is
not a mighty liar) they are wont to soothe their
worldly cares in their prandial hours of relaxation
—all these mighty appliances were brought to bear
upon the matchless integrity of our excellent eld
friend, bnt in vain; he stood, like Gibraltar, im
pregnable to the oombined artillery of such entic
ing charms, and returned to Milledgeville with a
000 l head and a clear judgment. Bnt mark yon 1
scarcely had he beenin the capital two boors ere
h 6 wis found, u if to siirnuuxe 11 hi* dtvotion to

Our city has, in soma degree, recovered from
, the ravages of the late epidemic. The stream ol
a population again flows through our lately deserted
r streets, and ue*. ly all who were absent daring the
summer and fall have returned. Yet, notwith
-3 standing the frosts (which, by the by, were not
s bona fide killing one*,) we hear es a tew oases here
• and there almost everyday. The unusually warm
1 weather we have bad for the last week or two, no
- doubt, is the esasr. Therefore we want rein, hea
vy rains—first, to kill the snake that has only been
scotched, because a good rain would be succeeded
bye cold, bracing, healthy state of the atmosphere;
secondly, to quail the dust whieh is a oonstant an
noyance at present; end, thirdly, to put all our
navigable streams in full and permanent boating
order for the winter.
Business is ratter dull here now, though our
streets look crowded enough. Our steamboat own
ers have combined to raise the freight up and down
the riven, charging a dollar and a half per bale for
cotton, and so on in proportion. The plauteis look
npon this as extortion, and everywhere refuse to
yield to their terms; so that boats capable of bring,
ing 4000 bales, come down with about twenty or
thirty. This move has had a bad effect in the in
terior for the interests of Mobile, end will have a
tendency to encourage the direct trade between
Montgomery and New Orlean*. For several years
cotton has passed by our wharves and gone direct
to New Orleans. But hitherto, only three or four
boats have been engaged in the basinets. Now,
I understand that eight boats are about to be put
on that line.
Major Chase, one of the U. 8. Kogineers, is here,
about to superintend some attempti at improving
our harbor. There is a bar at the mouth of Dog
River which enters the Bay some mi lee below the
city, that prevents vessels drawing eleven or twelve
feet of water from coming to the wharves. This is
to be removedby dredging. Aooordingly, a steam
dredging boat has been contracted for and con
structed at New Orleans, I believe, end mud scows
have been made at Pensacola. These are to be set
to work immediately to dear out the bar. This, in
fact, may be considered as a mere job, from which
no permanent benefit to the harbor can be derived,
for when the bar is removed, the same causes that
deposited it there will deposit another in its place.
Our Theatre has been in operation for some
eight or ten nights, though none that can be con
sidered itars of any magnitude have as yet appear
ed before ns. The building has been considerably
enlarged and somewhat embellished during the
last summer, and can now seat a much larger au
dience and much more conveniently. The stage is
well patronised in Mobile, and beiDg so convenient
to New Orleans, all the prominent actors pay ns a
visit daring the wiuter. “The Amphitheatre,”
fitted up on “The Remains," or basement of the
old “Mansion House,” has been much improved, i
and is now so constructed,as to afford a stage tor I
the performance of Ballets, in addition to the ac
commodations of a Circus. It is now styled “The '
Varieties.” .
Oar Legislature is now in session at Montgome
ry,andjudging from themassofnew laws proposed,
one would suppose that we have hitherto lived
without any, and that onr members were ia a des
perate hurry to remedy the evil. The indications
thus far, induoe the impression that there will be
a perfect avalanche of divorce bills. The encour
agement given to the divorce system, by the care
less, matter-of-cours indfferor.ee with whioh such
bills are almoßt invariably passed, will ultimately
make the marriage tie a mere temporary contract,
liable to be dissolved at the caprice of either party.
I have waded through our Governor's message,
in length equal to eighteen leaded oolumnsof the
Montgomery Advertiser. The perusal lias satisfied
me that Gov. Collier reads the papers, and that he
is ready to adopt almost any view on politics or
finance, that he thinks would be agreeable to “the
dear people.” A .
“ A.” will please accept our thanks for his letter
and be assured we shall be pleased to have him
repeat the favor whenever he feels in the mood.
The California Filibusters.
The following is the despatch of the N. Y. Tri*
bane, relative to the Fillibusterism in Lower Cali
fornia alluded to in our California advices yester
day:
“Washington, Friday, Dec. 2. 1858.—1 have pri
vate advices from the city of Mexico to the 17lh
ult., to the effect that letters received there from
Tepic. dated on Nov. 12, state that two hundred
armed men from San Francisco had just landed
from the brig Carolina, at the port La Tax, Lower
California, and had taken possession of the town,
put the Commanding General in prison, and de
clared Lower California independent.
They have a flag with two stars, whioh is sup
meed by my Mexican informant to mean Lower
California and Sonora.
Great excitement prevailed at Mexico on the
17th ult., when the news was received.
It is likely that Saata Anna may take advantage
of this circumstance and of the agitation it causes
among the Mexican people to proclaim himself
Emperor."
The New York Express referring to the subject,
says:
It was a perfectly notorious fact, for some time
previous to the departure of the lest mail steamer,
that a numerous force of fillibusters had sailed from
San Francisco, tolerably well “ armed and equip
ped,” professedly for “ mining purposes but
really for tho purpose of doing just what we now
see they have done, in part,—oreating a “Revolu
tion” in California, as a prelude to future annex
ation to the United States.
The vessel which has conveyed these adven
turers to La Paz, the Caroline, was well furnished
with provision and ammunition, and just before
her departure from San Francisco, a considerable
quantity of powder, lead, <&c., was seized as they
stated, in some of the journals, that parties were
going by land to Sonora to co-operate with those
who have gone by sea. If this be so, then |we
may expect to hear of stirring times in that quarter
soon.
As wo have said, the avowed purpose of these
men was to work the mines of Bonora, but the
universal belief in California was that their real
object is the subversion ot Mexican authority, and
the establishment of an independent State. The
plan is, to secure tho co-operation jof so many of
.he inhabitants of the country as possible in a
war against the ' pacbe Indians, and then by a
coup de main to declare Sonora free and independ
ent, seize the persons and property of all who op
pose them, and organize a new Government. But
tho Alta California commented on the probahle
results ot the expedition, thus:
“ Undoubtedly the whole thing.is very clearly
arranged, theoretically, but, like nfeny other theo
ries, it will be found at fault when put in practice.
In the first place, the party iB too small to make
even a respectable stand against the forces that
Santa Anna will Bend to repulse them, and the co
operation of the natives cannot be depended upon.
Even if the whole State were favorable to the re
volt, which is not the case by any means, Santa
Anna will find far less difficulty in crashing the
rebellion than he would in subduing a similar out
break in any of the Sierra Madre States. There
the insurgents could depend upon suocoi from
Texas, Louisiana, and other Southern and Western
States, fn Sonora, they can get no assistance
from California, and there are comparatively few
men here willing to abandon their business for A
wild enterprise promising nothing but danger,
privation and unenviable notoriety.
“The most probablereault of th* expedition, (un
less the adventurers adhere to their avowed pur
pose, and go to mining, and shooting Apaohes,)
will be their arrival at Guaymas, the killing of
some of them, and the dispersing of the remain
der. In a few months they will be returning In
small parties, as they can find means to get away,
worn out, poor, and disgusted.”
The place where these fillibusters have landed,
La Faz, is a small, unimportant town in the Gulf
of California, about lhO miles from the southern
extremity of the Peninsula of Lower California. It
has but few inhabitants, and we do not learn that
even these few have any means of protecting them
selves. This preliminary exploit of the fillibusters,
therefore, is nothing wonderful in itself. On the
contrary, if their intention was to push on to
Guaymas, some hundreds of miles farther up the
gulf, with a view to i evolutioniae the State of So
nora, it seems to us they have committed a bad
blunder in putting into La Paz—a sort of half way
house —whence the Mexican government could be
apprized of their movements in plenty of time to
interchange compliments with them when they
reach their destination. Nevertheless, no matter
what fate overtakes these fillibusters, the move
ment is one which shows the animus of a large
class of persons in California, calling themselves
American oitizens, towards Mexican territory south
of them, and, as such, it will require as much
vigilance and honesty on the part of the General
Government to keep clear or another war with
Mexico, as a whig administration showed, when
just such fillibnstcr attempts were made by juat
such “American citizens” to revolutionize Cuba,
and draw us into a war with Spain.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET, Dm. B.—Do
meMc Oood«. —The market [or all kinds of both Cotton
and Woolen goods continues inactive and prices irregular.
The Spring trade Is so near at hand that old styles could
not be disposed of, with [ew exceptions, eren at considera
bly reduced prices. Goods intended tor the ensuing season
are arriving, but they are not yet exhibited to the public.
We have seen some very handsome styles of light Prints,
which would command ex.reme prices, if offered. Brown
Drills have been in active demand for export, and the mar
ket very nearly cleared or all in first bands at a price
equal to 7)4c-, Bleached are dull at 8, and Bine at
cents. Heavy Brown Sheetings and Shirtings have been
sold at 7©Bc. [or the leading stamps. Bleached do. are
quiet and unchanged. The high price of the raw material
precludes the probability of a decline in these goods.
Printing Cloths continue firm with small sales at the an
nexed quotations;
40x44 ...4)4 I 86x60 5)4
44x48 5 60x64 6
48x62 6)4 64x68 6*
62x66 6)4 | 68x72 6)4
Prints are dull and generally held firmly. A large honse
has had an offer to close out their stock of last season’s
goods at a decline of M from previous quotations, which
was refused. This we consider a pretty good test of the
market. Osnaburgs are less active, and the stock Is accu
mulating. Sales are making at 7)4©8)4 cents cash for
7 8 and 10)4©10)4 cash for 44. Mouselln de Lalnea are
quiet, and without any perceptible change In prices.
Hamilton, Manchester and Globe Companies, are selling
their latest fall styles at 22 cents. Ginghams, Cottons,
flannels, Denim Stripes and Ticks are,quiet. Cloths are
in good supply, and offered freely at lower prices. Cassi
meres are selling slowly at full prices. Satinets are in
large supply, and lower rates havebeen accepted. Jeans
are plenty and dull. Tweeds quiet. Shawls sold up close,
and previous prices are well supported.
Foreign Goods are arriving freely, but It is too early yet
for a demand of consequence. Some few sales of goods
adapted to the clothing trade are making at full prices.
