IX SENATE.
Au effort wuh made in the Senate this morning
to reconsider a bill passed yesterday afternoon to
eroate a new county from Stewart to bo called
“ Kinohefoonee,” but on the call of the yeas and
aaya the motion was loot.
Bomo time was consumed in the passage of a
bill to create now precincts in several counties of
this State.
The special ordor of tho day was then talton up,
which was the consideration of the 11 Woman’s
Bill.”
Mr. Miller, of Richmond, said ho desired to
make aomo further remarks in addition to what
he had said the day before. He maintained that
the estate created by this hill was a Trust Estate,
the right of possession and use remaining in the
husband, and the equitable fee in tho wife. The
Estate tiius vented is not one which tho husband
has oarned witL the sweat of his brow, or which
ha has received by descent. It came with her who
gave you tho possession of her ontire confidence.
Ills true that one substantial rcaaon for his advo
cacy of this bill was to protect married women
against unkind and dissipated husbands, and he
deemed this a good reason. Hut there is another.
There are cases where good husbands becomo In
volved in misfortunes, tiot of their own procuring.
This law will protect tho wile’s property against
those avaricious creditors who have swept all hia
own.
Mr. Millor replied at some length to the remarks
of the Honator from Lincoln on his amendment,
and also to tho Senator from Greene.
Ho closed by saying that a quaint writer ouoe
aaid woman was not taken from man’s head to
govern him, nor from his fuot to be trampled
under him, but from his side near his heart and
under his arm to bo protected by him. He would,
therefore, implore the Senate to grant that protec
tion to her which humanity and true philanthropy
dematidod.
Dr. Hidley, of Troupo, said he had not trespass
ed much upon the lime of the Senate during this
session, and would not now do so if he did not
feel a deep and abiding iuterosl in the measure
before the Senate. He regarded it ss a most im
portant bill—whoso oousequenoos would bo im
mense to the poople of this State. He woe in
fkvor of it. Dr. Uidley euterod into a lengthy
argument to sustain hia position, aud closed hia
speech with a beautiful tribute to woman, as a
mother. I regret that I oauuot send you, to day,,
a full account of his speech. He was followed by
Mr. Cochran, against the bill, and Mr. Collier, in
fkvor of it. The Senate adjourned.

In the Hones of Representatives but little baai

the necessity of organisation. But he ia utterly
powerless to effect tbe only end which they now

Debate in the Senate—“ Ihe Woman’* BUI.”
Milled#avn. lx, Wednesday, Dec. I*.
Mr. Miller, of Riohmond, eaid—l had not in
tended to make a speech at this stage of tbe de
bate, but as tho amendment proposed by the Sen
ator from Lincoln, (Mr. Moore,) goes to the merits
of the bill, you will permit me to detain the Senate
a short time. The gentleman’s araoudmentgoc.- to
defeat the object of the bill I have had the honor
to introduce for the security of the rights of mar
ried women, and I hope ho will not insist on en
cumbering tbe bill with it. It ie said that this
bill will create an aristocracy, that it will not ope
rate on all classes alike, end there will be no great
er barrier to an equal division of wealth among the
masses, than under the present system.
It ia oontended that property can be secured to
the wife under our present laws by instruments
of writing as effectually as it could be under the
hill which I propose, bo it can, Mr. President,
hut it ie too often neglected, till after marriage,
and then it is too late; for it has already become
subject to the man’s debts, and very few men will
refuse to subject their property to the payment of
just debts. And, air, it is just such cases as these
that wo propose to meet.
It is alto said, if this law is mado, there will be
many frauds. Whowill practice them! The poor
man will hardly do it. But tboeo in possession of
large means will hide and screen their property
under the law as it now is, when they havo stretch
ed their credit to enthralment, and tho ianocent
creditor, who has relied upon that property as his
security, becomes the -iifTerer. To object to every
system because fraud may be practiced, is to ob
ject to every thing that human minds deviso.
I insist again that the amendment defoats the
object of tbe bill. What benefit will the women
enjoy alter tho passage of tbe bill with tbe amend
ment, whioh they do not enjcyl Marriage settle
ments, aa I have said, can be made now. This
amendment does not enlurgo that privilege, ex
cept that it gives thorn thirty days alter the mar
ritgo, In which it can, but heynml which it cannot
be made. But lot us suppose tho caso of a young
married couple. Before tbe solemnization of the
marital tios all is love—blind love and affection;
and after marriage, in thirty days—before the
“ honey moon ” expires, Bho must mako thin in
ventory of ber property, aud got tbe Clerk of tbe
Court to record it, or sbo will forever lose all the
rights proposed to be conferred. The wifo to Bet
down to make such a declaration and invoutory as
tbe Senator from Lincoln suggests, in so short a
time after her marriage! Why, tho very idoais
prepostcroua. Tho poorest husband could manage
to be a clever fellow during tbo honey moon, and
koep on the right side of hie wife for thirty days.
In her confidence and lovo, the wifo would not
think of tho result. If she reasoned at all, she
would probably say, “If I can trußt myself to
him, why not my property!” Many havo reason
ed in this very way, aud thoy have too often found
to thoir bitter regret, that thoir roasoniugß wore
vain. My desire is to protect tbe wouker but the
better part of humanity, aud if I can secure the
passage of this bill, I hope 1 shall be able to do it.
We are told that this law would interfere with
old landmarks. This, sir, is a proof of progress,
aud there ie no progress greater or more to bo de
sired, then to oontinuo woman in her proper
splieie—in that sphere in which lfeavon formed
her and designed she should movo, by providing
for the maintenance of horself and ohildron.
We havosome legislation on this subject already.
Let us exsmino tbe history of tho Stato. Up to
1826, ou tho death of an intestato husband with
out chilarou, tho wife roooived but one-half of tho
husband’s estate. Sinco then we have taken a
great step in this matter, and 1 now propose to
lake another step—a step to secure the rights of
wi vox as well as widows. I wish to give assurance
to the innocent wife and littlo children, in thoir
tender yoars, that they shall not be reduced from
comfort to penury and want.
Mr. Moseley, of Spalding, said that ho wsb op
posed to tho bill and the principle involved in it,
und that be hoped it would not pass. He went in
to a short exposition of his viows on the moasure
in his usual style.
Dr. McGolioe, of Houston, said: Wo have bad 1
a number of pictures drawn with considerable dra
matic effect, of the wholesome operation of exist
ing laws, in whioh the distinguished Senators from
Spalding and Lincoln express a deop interest In
the rights of the weaker sex. They claim to be '
the champion of their righto when all is sunshine 1
and prosperity, and like holiday frionds, oome to '
their rescue at a momont when their gonerous aid
is the least noeded. I, sir, follow the teachings of
a different ministry. Their fervid protestations of 1
sleepless vigilance In guarding thorn against in
jury, are only hoard when danger is not near.
And I mast confess that not a solitary argument
haa been made to weaken my conviotious of the
overwhelming merits of the bill before us. Kidi
oule is tho formidable weapon of their warfare and
when foiled in its use, a swarm of imaginary evils,
that will imperil the oouutry, are presented to
alarm the timid and to drive the wavering from
any prepossessions that thoy may have in favor of
this measure. I have gaxed intently upon the
bright pictures which they have presented, but
havo not detected their beauties, nor have I boen
driven from my propriety by the frightful speotrea
which they have posted in the path to dofeat the
Woman’s Bill. They, sir, have presented only
the bright eido of the picture ; I shall invoke their
attention whilst I present mine. 1 havo seen the
Senator from Spalding basking in the smiles that
fall as softly and refreshingly from tho gallery upon
him as vsrnal dews upon the cedars of Monnt
Lebanon. And l have seen him so inspired by
the scene as to oause his thirsty muse to drink
deeply of the Pierian Sping and to mount its Pe
gasus, and with the Bpeed of Mercury, convey ita
votive offering to the gallery, when three cheers
for the Senator from Spalding echoed and rever
berated throughout this ohamber. But before the
sweet incense of their smiles ceases to rise from
the tribute of his muse how sadly does the scene
change. He i» instantly transformed from the gay
Lothario to the cold phlegmatic stoic. 1 confess,
air, that 1 admire tho character of the former in
finitely more than tho latter. Now, sir, 1 wish to
preaout to the Senator an image of the future—
one whioh, under the providence of God, may
become a sad reality.
Buppoae that after a few short years have passed
away, the Senator from Spalding, in his ministra
tions going about doing good, sees in the distance
a miserable hovel with all the indications of extreme
poverty. Ho approaches, with steady step and
solemn brow, and announces tho cheering tidings
that the poor have the gospel preached unto them,
the only ray ot hepe that gleams through the sur
rounding darkness. He beholds a withered form,
care-worn and dejected countenance, with eyes
sunk by grief, the drapery of wretchedness every
where to be seen, the oatbs and jargon of her be
sotted and demented husband are only interrupted
by her heart-piercing sobe, and the cry of their
children for bread The children famishing and
in raga, cluster about their mother’s feet, and she,
from the deep and gushing fountain of maternal
love, literally verifies the story of the fabled Peli
can, by feeding her young with the blood drawn
from her own bosom. Time passes on, and the
brute in human form, who had victimised her, to
her misplaeod affections, dies. Where, sir, I ask,
does she now look for a prop tc her declining
years! All is dark and melancholy around her—
she shrinks from the cold charity of the world—and
when almost overcome by despair, hope dawns
upon her as she remembers the pittance which
the provisions of this bill secures to her, ths
fruits alone of her parents toil. She raises
those eyrw, which are aocustomed to look through
tears, and beholds the manly form and pleas
ing and intelligent oountenanee of the Sena
tor from Spalding, ani points him back to
brighter days, whan her hsppy emile from that
gallery, inspired his muse, and exhibits to him her
little patrimony, secured by the beneficial provi
sions of this bill, es the sole reliance for her main
tenance and the education of her children. W hat
an elegant commentary would it not be, Mr. Presi
dent, apon the speech e» and votes of the Senator
to-day. The Ladies, air, may be charmed by his
poetry, but I sincerely trust that a better fete
1 awaits them, than to be taken captive by his phi
losophy. And I really think that the Ladies in the
1 Gallery, ifihey should again catch the eyes of the
r Senator from Spalding, “in fine frenzy rolling,’’
will exclaim of the burden of his song, as one did
3 e'o:c. ■ • that it ia Eeau’e hand, but it ia Jaoob’a
• voice.’ Gborsia.

I Sipserb of Mr. PoltW.'
j Upon a nto’ioo of Mr. McDoagaW, ol Mnecogee,
! to strike ont the name of Donthertry from a bill
. to lay 'ff a new county out of tbeooonty of Baker,
j Mr. Pottle, of Warren, made the following re-
I mark-.:
, Mr. S.ptahrr 1 .lid cot desire or ink ud to say
a word upon the merits of tbe Mil nowon your
1 table, but after the remarks which have just fallen
i from the geiilleman from Muscogee, in the motion
! to strike out tbe name of Dougherty, I feel cou
; strained to take part in the disenaeion, end the
I more so on account of the assault which lie has
(though* proper to make upon the foir name of
one of Georgia’s most gifted sons, who so recent
; ly and suddenly has been called from time to eter
. nity. Not content with language tending to die
! parage the memory of the lamented dead, the gen
' tlernen has, hyena-like, followed him to the grave
moistened with the tears of affection—dug np his
. mortal remains anJ has attempted to exhibit them
in scorn and derision before the House.
Mr. p. wa-» here interrupted by Mr. McDougald,
who stated that he had not traduced the character
of J udge Dougherty. Mr. P. resuming said—
Mr. Speaker—l cannot tell what was the animus
of the gentleman, but one thing is clear, his lan
guage was susceptible of no other construction ;
«out of tbs abundance of tho heart the month
speaketb.”
It has been said, sir, by a distinguished poet,
“ the evil that men do lives after them, the good
is oft interred with their bones ; ” such seems to
be the wish of the gentleman. Fearing that the
motion would not prevail, he has invoked the aid
of a gentleman from the other side of the House
in order to array against tiiis great name the polit
ical prejudice of the country, but I am slow to
believe that honorable gentleman, with whom I
differ, will respond to that call, or give ccunte
nanoe to the detraction and malignity of the
gentleman.
Here Dr. Phillips arose and said that those ap
peals would have no influence on his side of the
House, that he knew Judge Dougherty long and
welt as an able jurist and distinguished citizen.
Here Mr. P., resuming, said : —I rejoice to hear
from the gentleman from Habersham, that be fully
appreciated tho distinguished reputation of the
lamented Dongherty—that the remarks of the
gentleman of Muscogee have failed in their de
sign. Sir, fi ou the long acquaintance which I had
with Judge Dougherty, and the high appreciation
in which 1 hold his memory, 1 feel constrained to
vindicate him ; but why should I, or any other
member ol this House attempt tho discharge of
such a duty, however pleasing it may be ; his
name and character need no poor enloginm of
mine. His reputation is the common property of
the State, which cradled him iu his infanoy, and
tho common and wide-spread grief which has
been felt and exhibited by the people of his native
State, ia his highest and best culogium.
My firut acquaintance with J udge Dougherty
was when a schoolboy at the State University. 1
knew him as a Trustee of that Institution, founded
and reared by the munificence of tho State Legis
lature. 1 knew him in the walks of society as a
high-toned and chivairicgentleman. I knew him
on tho Bench as an ablo, impartial and humane
Judge. I knew him as a prominont actor in tho
political arena, and though it was my misfortune
to differ with him two years ago, upon tbe great
issue of the canvass, yet I could not, but in com
mon with others, impute to him honesty of pur
pose and maiked ability in the maintainance of
what he belioved to be the true principle of gov
ernment.
The gentleman has said that he too iB a Georgi
an, and does not conceive J udge Dougherty to have
been distinguished, and that more than once was
he repudiated by tho people of Georgia for high
offices. If he wishes evidences of their attachment
to him, and proofs of the affections of his country
men, I will cite to one striking example. I ask
him if he waa not present in the Senate Chamber
but a few dayßogo, when tbe sudden death of the
lamented Dougherty was announced? I ask him
if he did not see tho dignified form of the Senator
from Clark, as he aroso from his Beat and gave the
formal i ntolligence that J udge Dougherty, the once
presiding officer of that body, was no more? I
ask him if he did not hear tho words of solemn
grief, as thoy fell from the trembling lip of the
speaker—aud if be did not seo and foil the pro
found aonßatlon whioh was made upon listening
Sonutors—and if he did not see the obliteration of
party lines, and a unanimous tribute paid to the
memory of Judgo Dougherty ? Sir, with such a
combination of elements which make man truly
groat, Judge Dougherty, in his life and history,
shone forth one of the brightest stars that ever
glistened in tho firmament of Georgia.
Bnt, sir, ; n reference to the names designated in
this bill, 1 am authorized to say that tho name of
Dougherty was inserted by the movars of tho bill
in tho othor branch of tho General Assembly, who
are themselves opposed to tho politics of tho de
ceased, and by tho unanimous voice of that body.
In view, thon, of these facts, the latter of which
wsb known toall, is itnot remarkable und striking,
that such effort is made and such means employed,
ns has boon by the gontleman, to rob this county
of its native appellation I
1 hope, sir, that the motion to strike out will not
prevail. Ceougia.
Mobile Correspondence.
Mobile, Dec. 12, 1858.
Mn. Editor :—Business still continues dull. Our
oommorcial houses have laid in heavy stocks of
goods, but tho low stale of our rivers, udded to
the combination among tho steamboats on the sub
ject of freights, has almost cut us off from tho in
terior. l’erhaps tho late epidemic, its long con
tin nance and the extent to which it prevailed in
tho interior, have had something to do in retard
ing tho business season. Consequently money
cannot be very abundant. Another reason, per
haps, why money is soarco and business dull:
“ Not less than one thousand of our citizens have
spent the past summer at the North, each of whom
has spent, on an average, about five hundred dol
lars.” Now hero is half a million of dollars with
drawn from our business facilities, and sprinklod,
like fertilizing guano, along tbe thoroughfares aud
among tbo cities of the North. While theso name
individuals, having now returned home, will on
deavor to make up for thoir extravagance durii g
the past four or five months, by drawing their
purse-strings closor for tbo next six. Under all
these circumstances it is hardly to bo wondered at
that money is not quite as plentiful as it might
be.
A Bill haa been passed through both houses of
our Legislature, chnrtoringthe Mobile Transports- 1
tion & Insuranoo Company, with banking privi- J
leges. Under this charter, Cotton bales not weigh- 1
ing over five hundred and fitly pounds are to be 7
brought down from Montgomery to Mobile for((1 1
and passengers up and down to and from the same 1
places at $3 a head. Freight is to be charged at '
50 oonts per barrel, and 30 cents per hundred lbs. *
from December Ist to June Ist., and 50 cents for 1
dry and 75 cents for wet barrels, and £5 cents per *
hundred from June Ist to December Ist. This 1
bill, 1 presume, will be carried out immediately. '
A Bill is also under disoussion, introduced by *
the Committee on Internal Improvement, to inoor- *
porate the Northeast and Southwest Railroad Com- 1
puny. The object of this bill is to muke Mobile *
tho market of North Alabama—about 80,000 bales 1
at least, go yearly to the Now Orleans market j
from that section of our State by the todious route
of tho Tennessee and Mississippi rivers. A rail- '
road would shorten tho distance, economise time '
and diminish expensos particularly on the return 1
trado, and in this way would so stimulate produc- *
tien aa to double the number of bales in a few '
years, besides opening a uew market for the beef, 1
pork, bacon, poultry, flour, fruit, fee., of North '
Alabama, and no small part of Middle and East 1
Tennessee.
The spirit of Interna! Improvement has almost
reached fever heat in this State, so far as railroads 1
are concerned. One is already finished—the Mont- '
gomerv and West Point. The Selma and Tennaa
sec, and th: Mobile aud tho Ohio are in progress. '
One is projected from Girard to Mobile; one from
Montgomery to Pensacola, intersecting the Girard
and Mobile roads; one from Montgomery to tha
Selma add Tennessee road, near Montovallo; one
is spoken of Iron, Montgomery to the Mississippi
line, on the route to Jackson, in that State, and
another to Union Springs, to prevent the trade in
that direction from seeking Columbus. Tusca
loosa, Greensboro’, aud other places are moving to
connect themselves by branch routes with the
Mobile and Ohio Road, while another is to be
started from Mobile to New Orleans. With all
these projects on the carpet you will, no doubt,
think we are in danger, to use a common phrase,
“of running the thing in the ground.” I am
afraid so, but it is rather characteristic of our peo
ple, that, when they get hold of an idea, they are
very apt to carry it too far.
We have had one cold, raw, blustering day,
(Thnrs-ay last,) but instead ol abreaking up of the
weather, and the commencement of regular dirty
winter weather, it blew off cool, clear and fine next
day, and has continued so since. No apparent
prospect of rain. With regard to the health of the
city, a physician remarked the other day, “It is
very good at present, but when the’weather breaks
and the wintej fairly sets, in all probability there
will be plenty ol cases of rheumatism and pneumo
nia.” The large quantities of calomel administer
ed during the epidemic must have shaken many
constitutions, for which the coming -winter will
prove too severe a test. .
Benorita Pepita Soto is, at present, the rage here
among the visitors at the theatre. She is a Spanish
dauseuse,who,in the newspaper phraseology, of the
day, is the very personification of beauty and grace.
You may, therefore, set her down as good looking,
all the rest is gas-light and gauze. You will meet
as good looking, if not better, on Broad street, any
day, between eleven and two. As a dancer, she
ranks about third rate.
The rapid increase of this city is a matter of as
tonishment to me. In any direction Igo I see
evidences of it on every side. New streets are be
ing opened ; new houses are being erected: new
lots fenced in, on the outskirts of the town., while
in the older parts of the town, wooden buildings
are fast giving way to large, solid, fine-looking
brick structures. Notwithstanding the complaint
of dullness, the spirit of increase and improve
ment goes ahead. Among some of the large and
more imposing buildings, the Odd Fellow’s Hall
ia all but finished: a Temperance Hall is slso in
progress, and a new Custom House is now rising
rapidly trom the foundation. A———.
A monstrous drove of 2100 turkeys from Ruth
erford oounty and vicinity, passed through this
city yesterday, en route to Augusta and Charles

and poultry up to this date, shipped below, is un

| Mb Editor The attention of the public has
been directed, no doubt, to the number of Bills
' which have been reported, to the present sees ion
) of the Genera! Assembly, providing for the or
j g*iiiz»Uon of new counties. In letd, there seems
Ito be a perfect mania upon this subject. Five
! Bills of this nature have already passed both
Houses, and there yet remains a number to be
j acted upon. IV iiiie some passes merit, and invite
a favorable consideration from our Eepresenta
j lives, others are but the a chemes of Speculators,
i and of designing and ambitious politicians.
! A Bill erg soiling a new county out of Cherokee,
: Gilmer-) and Union, to be called Pickens county,
hats passed both branches of the General Aaaern
i biy. I desire to call the'public attention to the
i following facts, by which, the injustice that has
i been done, and is yet sought to be perpetrated
can be clearly discovered:
Tb r representative population of the county cf
! Cherokee is 18,302; that of Gilmer, 9,807; and
; that of Union 8,271, making, in the aggregate,
] 31,480. The representative population of Han
i cock is 8,997, and that of Wilkes 8,650, making,
i in both connties, 17,847. Organize Pickena and
Fannin connties oat o: the counties first men-
I tionod, and according to the preaent apportion
ment, the territory thua included within the five
counties, will be entitled to seven Representatives,
and five Senators, or to one Representative to
every 4,497 inhabitants, while the counties of
Wilkes and Hancock, will be entitled only to one
Representative for every 8,823 inhabitants,
j Again: the tax cf Cherokee county, for 1858,
amounted to $2,878 ; that of Gilmer to $1,185 ;
] of Union to $1,111; making, in the ag
gregate $5,119, subject to a deduction of $2,747
for the* School purposes, and leaving a net tax of
$2,372. The counties of Wilkes and Hancock
paid into the State Treasury for the present year
| a tax of $12,994, subject to a deduction only of
$378, for educational purposes. In short, the
counties of Wilkes and Hancock, pay over five
times the tax of the above five counties, and yet
they have only two Senators and two Representa
tives, while these five counties will have seven
Representatives and five Senators.
The Uonse took up, on Wednesday, the Biil to
organize a new county from the counties of Gil
mer and Union, to be called Fannin. Amotion
was made to lay the Bill on the table, for the
baianoe of the session.
Mr. Irvin, of Wilkes, arose and made an able
argument in favor of the motion, and expressed, a
hope that tha House would not entertain the bill;
and showed conclusively, from the records, that
the counties of Gilmer and Union, out of which
the new county of Fannin ia proposed to be carved,
now received from the Treasury of the State, for
the education of their poor children, a sum nearly
equai to the amount of tax paid to the State. Ho
asked, what justice would there be in organizing
another county out of the territory comprising the
limits of Gilmer and Union, when these two coun
ties paid into the iTreasury but a fraction over the
sum drawn from the State : that while Gilmer and
Union, as they were now bounded, might be en
titled to their present representation under the
Constitution, (and of which he made no complaint,)
yet, there could not be a shadow of justice in
forming another county within their limits, the
expenses of whose representative upon the floor of
the House, would come out. of the pockets of others.
For one,he did not intend to saddle his constitu
ents with such additional burdens, and he called
upon Middle and Lower Georgia to unito with
him in thus defeating the bill.
Messrs. Latham, Young and Pickett fallowed
in vindication of the bill, aud made a whining
appeal in behalf of their constituents, who were
attempted to be deprived of rightsand privileges
seoured toothers, because “ they were poor." This
appeal brought up Mr. Clarke, of Oglethorpe, who
made a few remarks in support of the bill, and
characterised by a martellout affection for the poor.
Oh! Buncombe ! 1 To the amazement of many,
the bill finally passed, against the above array of
facts, which were so clearly and forcibly pre
sented by Mr. Irvin. It is hoped that the Seuate
will deleat it. Twist.

Mb. Editor lu Ihe evening issue of yonr pa
per of the 15th instant, 1 see a report of the speech
of Mr. Walker, of Kiehmou J, on the bill authorizing
the Governor to accept my proposition. The cor
respondent has given Mr. Walker’s speech fully,
without any thing from tko advocates of the bill in
reply. Ilouce, justice to myself as well as to the
speakers, requires that I should offer this to you for
publication.
Messrs. McDougald, Latham and McCurdy, with
much force and clearness, interposed the correc
tion of Mr. Walker’s misconceptions and errors,
and illustrated the benefits to be expected from the
measure if adopted. lam not now competent to
do them justice by reporting their speeches, but I
feel called on to put myself right beforo the pub
lic; and in doi g this, Iv. put Mr. Walker right
also.
The report is made with such precision and
point, that I tako it for granted it was examinod by
him at least—l shall therefore refer to it as his
sayings.
First, ho characterizes my “proposition” as
“dangerous and insidious.” Os the danger of it,
of course overy one will judge; but to call it “in
sidious,” is unfair and unjust. Whoeverwillread
it, will find it to be frank, plain and unequivocal—
as 3ueh the Committee characterises it. The ad
vantages sought by me, and the benefits proposed
to the State, are distinctly enumerated. Mr. Walk
er says, “it comos clothed in the garb of public
bonefit, while it effected nothing but the relief of
Major Cooper from individual indebtedness This
statement is contradicted by the faots throughout.
I did not propose to tho State to pay my debts—
do not desire it. By the proposition, if accepted,
X shall owe not a dollar more or leas. And I ex
pressly stipulate that I shall pay all, and that beforo
the State’s Bonds bocome due. I only propose to
the State to go into the market and buy up certain
notes, with tho view to extend tho time, sht hold
ing the identical notes now hold by Mr. Wiley.
All that I asked or doßired was, that tho State, by
her flvo year Bonds, would procure mo a little more
time.
Mr. Walker assumes that I could not pay the
debt, aud that the business was not profitable. On
this point, likewiso, ho might and ought to have
boo* better informed. The report of the Commit
toe and my proposition would correct him. Indeed,
this assumption is contradicted by the whole record
beforo him. In my proposition I state that—
property will , with great effort, pay it” —to wit t the
SIOO,OOO. He might have known, if he desired,
that, at the moment ho was speaking of the first
Instalment of $85,000 duo Ist November, Mr. Wi
ley had received $27,000, and that I had the means
to pay the remaining SB,OOO. That in addition to
this, I had paid Mr. Wiley since J une last SIB,OOO,
the balance of prior debt—besides paying to other
old debts $5,000, aud also $5,000 to organize the
Coal Mines. That 1 had done this in 18 months,
and carried every thing on, having in hand more
assatta than I started with. To what end, there
fore, has he assumed and published, that I cant
pay tho debt f My proposition is not predicated
on my inability tp pay, but on my desire that 1 may
have an easier task—to tho end that I may husband
that physical strength which ten years stringent
effort is wearing—that a few more years of useful
ness may be added to a life thus far spent mainly
for tho benefit of others. I desired to effect this,
by adding one facility, to wit:—a Branch Railroad,
so necessary to the full development of the Iron
business. This I could do; if permitted to hold a
part of the nett profits.
It is worth while here tb state, that some of Mr
Walker’s tmkind and injurious insinuations were
so palpable, that even those who, with Mr. Walker,
opposed the bill, felt it. Hence Mr. Reynolds, of
Newton, in making a frank and sensible ipeech
against the bill, took occasion to dissent from Mr.
Walker in this regard.
Mr. Walker gives out the impression that Mr.
Wiley had put in the capita), and that he alone bad
capital to put in. On this point also, ho Is at fault,
aud hi' remarks are injurious. The record before
him should have put him right, ly it he would
learu, that whilst we bought of Mr. Wiley's two
Mercantile concerns, SIOO,OOO of goods, and
gave our notes bearing interest—that of all the ac
tual capital stock paid in, I paid two-thirds of it.
Mr. Walker insinuates and charges that my se
curities would seek to be relieved from a debt that
they agree to pay if I do not. He should have
known the men better. But if relieved he still
could not assume a loss to the State, since what
Mr. Latham said is true, the property and aasetta
will pay the debt twice over.
Mr. Walker alledges that I seek to bind the
State to bny Iron of me and me alone, and there
by a huge monopoly would exist. Here, too, he is
in error in fact, since I no where propose to bind
the State. It is my effer to furnish at 8X cents
per pound what she may r 4 or order, and this
includes all sizes she may „eed. She may order
much or little or none. The less she should take
the better for me. Since, if she shonld order all
I could make in assorted sizes she would ruin me.
Any one who knows the market, knows this. The
application therefore of the “Tut and the Whale,”
has about as much propriety as the principles of
the Pretectin tysUm, or the doctrines of Republi
canism.
As I have not the pleasure of an acquaintance
with Mr. Walker, I do not permit myself to think
that he would intentionally injure me or my busi
siness; but inasmuch ns his remarks have that
tendency, I have written this, aud request it to be
published for my protection—intending on my
part, to cover ail with a veil of charity and bury it.
Very respectfully,

Details of the Newt by the Steamer Asia.
The Turkish Wab.—On the 26th the Turks
j advanced from Kalaiat, twelve English miles to -
< wards Krajova, and tunned an entrenched camp
j for SOOO men. Large bodiee of men at tbo seine
1 time passed cp, and others down the Danube. On
j the 46 til the Turk* constructed a bridge between
. Ruatchuk and tho Island of Mckuau. This island
i remains in puesession of tbe Turks, notwithetand
-1 iug the statement that they had been dislodged by
the Russian artillery under Formoeoff. They had
also resisted ail the attempts of the Rusaia-s to
drive them from their position beiow Hirsova, at
the confluence of the Talontxa, aud tbe Danube
letters from Galeta state that the fourth and fifth
Russiai. reserve corps are in movement. They
have left Bessarabia, and arc about te enter Wal
lachia. The whole of the army now in Poland ia
to be sent to the Prindpaiitiee, and drafts from
the Russian garrisons, together with a portion of
tbe Imperial guard, will garrison Poland.
The following is given as authentic: —“ On the
night of the 21st November the Turks forced the
Russians to quit the island opposite Giargevo.
Two attempts were made by the Russians to re
take the island, but they were repulsed. In tho
second attack the Russians showed signs of cow
ardice and had to be forced into the Turkish fire.
Between 7 and 3 o'clock on the morning of tho
24th, the Russians re took the island. Duringthe
night of the 25th, the Turks made a night attack,
but were unsuccessful. The psssage of the river
by the Russians at this point is out of the question.
The Turks have gained further success in Asia.
They have not only defended successfully the fort
of St. Nicholas, but have captured tbe fortresses of
Usurghetti and Souchum Kaleh. The Georgians
favor the Turks. Two new regiments of “ marine
artillery” are forming to be employed on the coast
between SiQope and Trobizoude. Souchum Kaleh
is a large fortress of the fir t glue, considerably to
tbe north and west of Redout Kaleh, aud its cap
ture shows that the Turkish forces are making dc
cided progress in the exact direction which renders
the Russian frontier in the Caucasus leu secure
than ever. We await with anxiety the details
which the mail will bring ot the taking of this im
portant stronghold.
Letters from Trebixonde, of the Bth November,
confirm the previous accounts of the Turkish, or
rather Circassian success at Tehorog and Shef
katil. These accounts state that the Russians had
15,000 men in the ac ion, and the Circassians 20,-
000—a manifest exaggeration. The son of Prince
Gouriel, who has fallen into the hands of the Turks,
is called the Prince of Mallachia.
Hostilities have commenced at sea. An Egyp
tian steamship is announced to have captured the
Russian steam frigate Wladimir, and the ' Russian
ship-of-war Bessarabia has taken a Turkish steam
er. The Wanderer, of Vienna, mentions that an
engagement had taken place between a Russian
frigate, near Kale, on the coast ot Anatolia, and
that “tho advantage remained with the Turkish
steamer,” perhaps this refers to the same occur
rence. And an anonymous telegraphic despatch,
states that the Russian steamer Wladimir, (proba
bly a misprint for Bessarabia) had returned to
Sebastopol, with a Turkish passenger steamer and
an Egyptian steamer, as prizes, the latter having
offered a desperate resistance. These accounts are
contradictory, but at all evonts, naval hostilities t re
begun.
The London Daily News has an editorial, sta
ting its belief, that the Turkish fleet, under Admi
ral Blade, has entered the Black Sea, with the bold
intention of attacking Sebastopol. No one who
knows the courage cf the Turks, cau doubt that
they would attempt it if appearances wore at all in
their favor. The editorial points out, from reliable
sources, that Sebastopol,although said by the Rus
sians to bo impregnable, ia in reality vulnerable
even to a sea attaok. It would be a crowning glory
to the cause of the Turks, if the next mail should
bring intelligence, that the Tuikish fleet had bom
barded this pet stronghold of the Russians.
It was reported in Paris, Nov. 80, that the pro
ject for a new corfferencc to be held at Vienna,
Paris or London, to settle the Turkish difficulties,
definitively, may now be expected as positive. It
was further said that a Russian Note had been ad
dressed by Count Nesselrode to the diplomatic
agents of Russia in France and England. This
Note doflnes tho cases which would produce an
interruption of international relations or a com
plete rupture between Russia and England and
France. A new manifesto from tho Czar is also
spoken of.
'{he Sultau will take personal command of the
army earlier than was contemplated. From Adri
tmople he will proceed to Scnumla, Widdin and
Rustuek.
The name of the Russian steam Frigate sunk
by the Turkish forts off Batoun, was the Foudroy
ant, the same which brought Prince Mensohikoif
to Constantinople, and remained there at his dis
posal during his stay.
It ia not true that the Russians have seized the
stores of grain in tho Danubian ports. They
have ordered all supplies to bo removed three
miles inland, but as the harvest in Wallachia has
been unusually productive, and as the means of
transport are deficient, immense stores are await
ing tne fortune of war. In Brailow and vioinity
alone are 800,000 quarters.
Constantinople, 21st, letters mention that the
Sultan’s reception of Gen. Baraguay d’Hilliers was
extremely cordial. The General was received in
grand council. In his address he advooated the
cause of peace, provided that peace was compat
ible with the independence of Turkoy. To this
addresstho Sultan replied frankly, but pointed
out the necessity of setting limits to the demands
of Russia, and declared that tbe Danubian Princi
palities must be evacuated.
Skbvia.— Much importance is becoming attached
to the position that Servia may assume in the pro
gress of the war. Kussiau intrigue is actively at
work. Servia itself, if left alone, seems honestly
disposed to remain neutral.
A Vienna correspondent states, that on the 14th
Nov., the difficulties between the Turkish andjlocal
authorities had proceeded so far that the Turkish
garrison of tho fortress threatened to bombard the
city, if the Russian Consul, M. de Moukhine, were
permitted to remain. By tho intervention of the
Austrian Consul, the matter was arranged. By
latest accounts jt was, however, announced that
the Servian Government had demanded from the
Porte that the Russian representative shall be per
mitted to return, and that his exequator shall be
granted to him. There is little probability that
the Porte will do so.
Treatt between Franck and Ensland. —The
Paris correspondent of the London Times, under
date of November 29, says:
Private letters from London, dated yesterday,
mention in rather a positive manner, that a *on
vonticn was signed the day before yesterday in
that city, specifying the means to be adopted for a
combined intervention of France and England in
tho affairs of the East. I cannot vouch for tho ac
curacy of the statement so far as tho actual signing
is concerned, but 1 have more than once mention
ed that negotiation lias been going on between the
two governments, with the view of concerting and
fixing a combined action in any conflict that may
become imminent in consequence of tho war be
tween Turkey and Russia. How far the'renewed
efforts to avoid tho most terrible of all •alaini
tios—the extension of the war to the rest of Eu
rope—may bo attended with sucoees, it would be
useless to conjecture. We have beou so often on
the vory point of attaining that objeot, and so
often baffiod, that we can only leave the solution
to time; but even at this lato hour we are assured,
and by none more strougly than by the friends of
Russia, that the Emperor Nicholas, has the most
ardent desire for peace. Tho fusion betweon the
princes of Orleans and the head of their house,
would not have been realized so soon it is said but
for the Emperor of Russia, who meant to intimi
date the Erenoh Emperor, or, at all events to pun
ish him, for his support of Turkey and bis adhe
sion to the policy of England.
Os the Naval operations in the Black Sea, the
London Times saye :
The political and military consequences to Russia
of the loss of the security Bin has hitherto enjoyed
in the Black Sea are incalculable. She not only
ceases to be invulnerable on her whole Southern
frontier, but every point on which she is weakest,
lies open to direot attack, should hostilities assume
a more serious character. The trade of the whole
of Southern Russia, and ofthe vast basin watered
by the Dniester, the Bng, and Dnieper can be
Interrupted. Odessa would be at the meroy of the
enemy. Sebastopol might be blockaded or attack
ed, and there is reeson to believe that its seaward
batteries are of inferior force to theweight of metal
which might be brought against it; while the
place is ill fortified in the rear. The fort of
Oczakoff, the arsenal of Nicolaieff, and the build
ing yards of Cherson are said to be very imper
fectly protected, the Russians having apparently
contented themselves with defences sufficient to
ward off the Turks. The whole Crimea is peculiar
ly open to attack by sea, and forces dispatched for
the defence of that peninsula must cross the enor
mous steppes which divide it from Russia Proper.
The towns on the Sea of Azeff are defended
only by the difficulty of navigating that shallow
inlet.
England Tho Manufacturers at Preston held a
meeting and decided that tho prospects of trade
will not permit them to recede from their previous
terms, but in the meantime, will accept proposals
from their operatives to resume work.
During the next four months Russia has to re
mit to England for dividends, Ac., from 11800,000
to £400,000, or nearly one-half of the amount that
Nioholas has so summarily withdrawn.
Cholera has appeared in the city of Cork. Dublin

Fbancb.— Several alarming rumors were circula
ted in Paris during a few days, to the effect that
the Emperor, had met with an accident at Fontain
bleau. Some said that an attempt had been made
to assassinate him, but tho wholestorv was ground
less. On the afternoon of Wednesday 80th, the
Court returned to Paris, the Emperor in his usual
health.
It was currently reported that a project for an
alliance, defensive and offensive between England,
Franca, Piedmont and Spain is in contemplation.
Tho Duchess of Orleans has promulgated
through the Frankfort that she did not
assent to, and does not recognise the late “fusion”
between the branches of the French Bourbons,
but still maintains her own and son’s claims to the
French throne inviolate.
The Emperor 01 Russia has sold out his shares j
from the I'rench Funds in the same manner as he
last week closed accounts with the Bank of En- i
gland.
iTaLT.—At Milan, tho most unheard of precau
tions are taken by the Austrians to guard against
a supposed conspiracy. Guards were doubled in
most of the streets, and their posts are defended
by blockades. The Officers’ box in the Theatre is
fe'nced off from the others, and no one is admitted
at the door of the House without exhibiting a
passport or aarta di securrena. Every dwelling
house must be closed at midnight, under penalty
of arrest and fine of the inhabitants.
Acsiku.—An important statement comes in pri
vate letters from Vienna. It is stated that Aus
tria, becoming each day more embarrassed by the
position in which her relations with Russia have
placed her, has demanded with an earnestness that
proves her sinoerity, the opening of a conference,
either at Paris or London, in order to regulate
finally the affairs of the East. Should the project
be acceptable to the Four Powers, Russia and
Turkey will be invited each to sends representa
tive to lay before the Conference their respective
grievances. According to the best informed
sources, Austria’s line of conduct will be some
thing like this: If this last effort in favor of a
settlement does not succeed, Austria will consider
herself freed from her engagement to Russia, and
will remain nentral, even if that neutrality shall
favor the Porte; and if the conference Austria pro
poses shall succeed in obtaining concessions from
Turkey to Russia, Austria expects that Russia will
accept it as payment in full for her aid in the Hun
garian war. This statement is the more probably
correct that we have rumors confirmatory of it
from London and Paris, with the additional report
that the oonterence was actually decided upon by
Britain and France.
Austria, in the meantime, continues active in
concentrating an army on the Transylvania fron
tier. It is placed under the command of Gen.
Schlick, whose head quarters are at Clausenbnrg.

Turn, Nov. 28.—The Austrian Cabinet ienda
its most strenuous support to the Servian declara

and has informed the Servian Government that, if
necessary, the Saltan would make use of his pow

The Turkish government has issued a strict pro
hibition against the granting of letters of marque.
Bucharest letters state that the Russian army

With respect to the contradictory accounts of

latter was captured, appears to be correct.

OOTION.—Oar lat weekly report left the market very
Ann with a good demand at hill prices, which continued to
the cloao of busioeae Saturday; during which time an ad
vance cf iiODfc. was established. Yesterday and to-day
the market has given way, and the advance bis been lost.
We, therefore, renew our quotations of list week as ap
proximating very near the actual ratee, which are rnset
tied. There is little djing, as holders do not seem disposed
to sell at these prices. The receipts, though increasing,
are nevertheless light. The quantity on sale is Dot large.

L TRADE AND BUSINESS, during the week, have felt the
influence of the greater activity In the Cotton market, and
though not heavy, have been satisfactory.
GROCERIES.—The operations in the Grocery market
hare been fair, both to merchants and planters. Molasses
end Salt have advanced, and the latter is very scarce
Coffee it also held with greatermness and holders are antic
ipating a further advance. In other leading articles, we
not# no change,and would refer to our quotations for the
current rates.
PROVISIONS.—The supply of Bacon is very ample and
as the demand Is quite limited holders find difficulty In sus
taining quotations. The market it heavy. Flour con
tinues in good demand for export and home consumption
and prices are very firm.
GRAIN.—The supply of Corn is not large, and as the
demand continues good, prices are very firm. Wheat com
mands readily our quotations.
EXCHANGE. —Checks on the North X $ cent. prem.
FREIGHTS.—The river continues in good navigable con
dition. To Charleston $1 and to Savannah 60 cents \

Foreign Markets.
LIVERPOOL, December 2.—The cotton market remains
without any change. Sales of certain descriptions of Low
Cotton are effected at some improvement on the prices ob
tained a few weeks ago; but there is no generator quota
ble advance to be noted. The tone of the market is quite
inanimate, and increasingly so within the last day or two.
So fur nothing has occurred to ameliorate in any degree
the circumstances unfavorable to trade, which h ,ve been
in force for the last three or four months. No termination
it foreseen to the war on the Danube, or of the political
complication to which that war may lead. Money is again
in increased demand, and is dearer; and the state of trade
at Manchester Is such, thata very general working cf short
time has been retorted to. At the same time the opera
tives of Preston aud Wigan ahow no signs of yielding to the
demands ot the masters.
The sties of the week are 46,380, of which 9,070 bales
are hr Speculation and for Export, leaving 87,810 to the
Trade.
The market to-day is dull, but unchanged, gales 60S0
bales. We quote:

LIVERPOOL, Dec. 2.—A largo poitlon of th« mills
hitherto shut up, havo now resumed work, but not on full
time, and it is understood tlfat in several important towns
shorUime,ov forty hours per week, will be adopted in tho
course of the present month, and in ail cases at a reduced
rate of wages. At Preston aud Wigan the mills are still
closed. There has been a fair average demand for Cotton
during the week, with a larger portion of speculation, Ac.,
than we have of late been accustomed to, and the trade now
taking merely, what they require, we find that the con
sumption from this port.juiigiog by the average of the last
two weeks, must De about 82,UU0 bales weekly. American
descriptions are.offered plentifully, the only scarcity being
in tbe middling qualities, as of tbe better sons we have
had a supply ol new Cotton, from New Orleans, which has
been quite adequate to the demand. We make no change
in our quotations, although we consider low qualities rather
dearer.
brazils are in fair request, but offered freely, ami there
fore a little heavy. In Egyptians a fair exteat of busi
ness has been done, and uo improvement 1 whatever in
prices. We still have a good demand for Surats, but the
import continues so heavy that no higher prices can be ob
tained. 5,800 bales American, 70 Egyptian, 2,680 Surats
70 Madras and 870 Bengal have been taken on speculation
aud export, anu 87,810 bales by the trade. Tbe actual ex
port consists of 790 American, 100 brazil, Ac., and 1;160
East India—in all 2,050 bales. The sales to-day are 6,000
bales, of which 1,000 are takes on speculation and for ex
port. The sales during last month amounted to 186,‘C0
bales,of which 40,990 were reported us taken on specula
tion and for export. The actual exports were 11,800 bales.
The delivery for consumption this year is 37,266, bales
weekly, against an actual consumption in 1862 of 86,799
bales weekly.
MANCHESTER, Dec. 2.—With certain exceptions,we
have still to report & very dull market in yarns and goods,
with a bias in prices against producers rather than any
general quotable change. The merchants connected with
most foreign markets are not venturing to operate: and
the home dealera and calico printers ore so much afraid
of laying in any stock that they come to the manufacturers
and agents for such small parcels only as their restricted
current sales may call for. The exceptions we,have refer
red to are mainly the following:—Doubled yarns, about
40’s, continue exceedingly scarce and dear. In 16’s and
18's pin cops, there has been afair amount of buying by the
makers of domestics, several of whom, induced by lowness
of price, have made engagements for some weeks forward;
and these spinnings are consequently not to be had at the
previous depressed rates. The Oaloutta merchant see
sufficient promise in the advices received on Tuesday
evening to warrant their giviDg orders for considerable
quantities of light4o-inch shirtings, and 6-lth jacconncts,
and, in a less degree, for mule yarns, particularly lb’s.
On Monday there was little more doing in yarns at
Burnley, in consequence of the resumption of works in the
mills, but the market was fiat, and the prioes paid were
at ths lowest point.
Ths Sjfinnsrs and manufacturers of Burnley have recom
menced work, but only for four days a week, and without
the advance wages previously paid. Ths Bacup employ
ers are about to re-open for four days weekly, and they
have adopted and issued to their own hands the address
previously issued by the Burnley mill owners, which ap
peared in the Guardian last week. They will commence
work on Monday next, if sufficient numbers of hands pre
sent themselves. At Ulossop, Htalybridge, Hyde,Ashton,
and some othtr places in that district, a resort to four days
per week has also taken place; and at Ashton, the (se
cond) five per cent, added to the wages of spinning is
withdrawn. At Stockport the associated masters have
come to a resolution to give a week's notice for four days.
At Wigan there are signs of failing patience under the
privations which must now be severely felt. Yesterday
(Tnursday) the associated masters of Preston and the
neighborhood held tbeir monthly meeting, when the follow
ing resolutions were adopted;—“lst. That neitoer tho
prospects of trade, nor the position taken by the workpeo
ple, enables us to recede from or to modify the resolutions
of the 4th November, 1859. 2d. It having been alleged
that persons willing to accept work do not know where to
apply for the sou-e—resolved, in conformity with the reso
lution of 4ih November, that public notice be given that
applications for employment will be reoeived at the mills
now closed every working day from trn o’clock a. m. till
four o’clock p. m., and that when a sufficient number of
hands to enable us to open our mills shall have applied for
work, She committee do forthwith convene a general meet
ing or the association. Bd. That this meeting do now ad
journ till Thursday the 29th inst.” Public notice, as above
resolved, has accordingly been given.
Hzvai, Nov. 80.—I wrote you on Monday last, by the
Arctic steamer. Yesterday, owing to the recent advluts
from the United States, and our decreasing stock, the de
mand in our Cotton market was very brisk, and 8,000
bales changed hands at stiff prices.
To day, the transactions have been less active, but upon
the whole, they amount to 1800 bales, and great firmness
has been obseevablo amongst holders. Some grades have
advanced 80c. eit
For Flour there has been a good inquiry to day, and the
sales have amounted to 9090 bbls. at 45i546f. per bbl. in

THB Trustees of this Institution take pleasure In in
forming the public, that they have again secured the
services of the present iucuuibtnts for the next year. No*
thing is more repulsive to our taste, in this our time, when
Colleges are more numerous ihan old*field School Houses
used to be, and the young idea is taught to shoot by elec*
tro-masneticpower almost, than this pulling almost every
Seminary of learning in the <and. In Tact, Mr. RICHARDS
is too well kmwQ to the public to need any such artifice—
he has had charge of the Male Academy here, for the last
eight years, save one: and then a troop of young men fol
lowed him from Georgia to Alabama, and back from Ala
bama to Georgia again. He is now permanently settled
here in his native village. As Georgians, and Southerucrs,
solicitous for the ho no * of Southern Education, we arc
proud to believe that the extensive favor bestowed upon
him, flows from his own merit.
Miss WALKER, who has charge of the Female Acade
my for the Übt two years, is a young lady of sterling
worth, of modest and uuobtrnsive merit, railed and educa
ted in our own sunny South. She has left father, mother,
and all the loved ones at home, and come among us, a
stranger, to teaJh. fche has been particularly successful,
and has won the confidence of all—even the most fastidi
ous acknowledge her the best teacher of their daughters
we have ever had here.
Tile School will commence the second Monday in JANU
ARYnext.
Muvc Lessons will be given to any who wish, on a very
fine toned Piano.
