Miu.EtioEVU.nE, Dec. 21,1558.
I!I SENATE.
The Senato convened at the early hour of half
past S this morning, in order to get through with
as much business as possible, before tho hour ar
rived for the departure of the cars.
Mr. Chastain, of Gilmer, moved to reconsider so
much of the Journal of the previous session, as
related to the rejection of his bill to organise a new
county from Gilmer and U lion. On the call of
the yeas and nays, the yeas were 53, the nays 15.
It was, therefore, reconsidered.
Mr. Moore, of Linoolu, moved to reconsider so
much of the Appropriation bill as relates to the
appropriation of SSOOO, to the cleaning ont of the
(savannah River above AHgnsta—which was not
concurred in by the House, or insisted on by the
Senate. Mr. Moore, of Lincoln, spoke at some
length in favor of this appropriation, and the ne
cessity for its being made. He remarked that the
Legislature had once before appropriated to the
same object thi eum of SIO,OOO, and it had never
been drawn from the Treasury, and had conse
quently reverted to tho State. They now asked
for but half of this amount, and he hoped it would
not be refused. The motion to reconsider was
carried by yeas 80, nays 27. Mr Moore then with
drew his amendment, and the general Appropria
tion Bill was than signed by the President; after
which tho Senate adjourned till 11 o’clock on Mon
day, the 9th of January.
ROCSK or RET RESENT ATI vdS .
In the llonse of Representatives, this morning,
Mr. Allred, of Cherokee, moved to reconsider the
Journal of yesterday, appropriating SIOOO to Jo
seph Sturgis for servioea rendered to the State.
The Speaker decided that the motion was out of
order, aa the House had sent the bill to the Senate.
Mr. Allred then moved to send for the Appro
priation bill—to the Senate—which was lost by a
large majority.
Mr. Jones, of Burke, introduced a bill to relieve
Wm. Allen, of Burke county.
A message from the Governor, was received,
announcing that he had signed the resolution to
take a recess after the Slat to the 9th of January,
but stating his reasons why that resolution was
not dictated by public interest, or by wisdom.
Mr. Walker, of Richmond, moved that only so
much of the message as announced the signature
of the Governor, be placed on the Journals—and
the balance be rejected, as ha considered it a gross
disrespect and outrage to the General Aaeembly,
for the Governor to lecture them about thoir ac
tion.
Mr. Ward was in flavor of inserting the whole
[message on the Journals. Hs thought that the
resolution ought never to have been sent to the
Governor Tor signature, as tho Constitution dis
gw t li d * *
V -r-- - 4b;. -<•
tinetly excepted resolutions for adjournment from
the Governor’s assent.
Mr. Walker's motion was lost by a few votes.
The plain inference of Mr. Speaker Word’s
speech was that the Governor did not know what
bis dutiee were, as proscribed by the Constitution,
or be would have sent the resolution hack, with
out signature or protest, aa it was none of hie
business when the Legislature agreed to sdjonrn.
But he conld not overlook the opportunity to try
to make a little capital for himself at the expense of
the General Assembly—and by doing so, he has
incurred the hostility of many of hii party, who
might have been heard aa they were leaving Mil
iedgeville to-day, speaking of him in language not
the moat respectful, or kind.
The House of Representatives adjourned about
half-peat ten o’clock. Gao no la.

“ Property Qualification for Gorarnor.”
“We did Mr. Jenkins no injustice in publishing
the charge that he did make the speech in the Le
gislature against the repeal of the Property Quali
fication to the ofliio of Governor. We did him no
injustice in supposing that he had made the speech,
and had forgotten it.
“We are now prepared to reiterate the charge,
that he did, in 1847, leave the Speaker’s Chair,
sud make a speech in opposition to the repeal.
We aro furnished with the names of gentlemen
who were members of the Legislature of 1947, ss
authority for the charge. Mr. Jenkins has not de
nied it, nor will any one else deny it for him.
The certificates of some of the most respectable
citizens of tho State, testifying that they heard the
speech, will be furnished if necessary.”— Const,
it Itspuhlic, tispt. 28,1855.
In addition to the foregoing extract, on the
night of tho Ist October last, in tho Upper Market
House, in this city, the editor of the Constitution
alist & Republic, in hit own proper person, said
he had written for the certificates, and promised,
upon tboir receipt, whether bt/ore or aftor election
day, to give them to the public, in justification of
himself. Thus loag the public have expected
them in vain, and the editor owea it to bis own
self respect, even if no obligation be due to the
gentleman, whose political reputation was thus as
sailed, to comply with his pledge and keep the
word of promise to the hope, as well as to the
ear.
When will the certificates be forthcoming, 01 a
candid acknowledgment made that they cannot bo
produced? What, between the ignorance of Mr.
Jenkins upon the subject, and the unfulfilled
promises of the editor, the public mind is left in a
state of painful uncertainty as to the positions of
both those gentlemen. It is much easier to make
bold assertions than to verify them. We have
often heard that “the cow jumped over the moon,”
bnt its truth, like the fact of the making of that
speech by Mr. Jenkins, has never been proven.
It remains to be seen whether tho editor of the
Constitutionalist A Republic ia a more reliable
chronicler of his times, Ilian the venerable author
of Mother Goose’s Melodies. Osszßvrß.

Tho cotton crop is gathered, eieopt occasional
small gleanings; and is ono-fltth short of the last

tho remark of one fifth short applies to all 1 have
seen. Some crops are not more than onc-lialf; but
there are a few crops even belter than last yoar’s
crop, which was n tolerably uniform and good
crop, tho great irregularity being caused by early
wet and Tate and partial rains, the wet in the
spring tosting sud drawing out the skill oi the

Mr. C«U Harmonizing the Draernct.
Uiu.ED4zvn.Lß, Dec. 80, ISM.
Mb Editor The Democratic party, the Re
united, reorganized Democratic party of Georgia,
having triumphantly (a* they say) elected their
President and having a large majority inCongresa,
the State of Georgia delivered into their keeping
for the ensuing two yearn, by the election of the
Governor of their choice, and with the additional
influence and power of some twenty odd majority
on joint ballot have been reduced to the humiliat
ing necessity of invoking the potent aid of the
man they hadj politically guillotined to couaael
and aaaiat them in their strait. The Hon. Howell
Cobb, Ex-Governor of Georgia, the defeated cau
cus nominee for 0.8. Senator, has been dragged
from private life, to which he had been eonsignod
by the very pereons now invoking hia aid, to re
unite the Be-united and lo luirmriniu the Harmon
ized. “ Tell it not in Gath—publish it not in the
streets of Ascalon.’’ But lest I should be
ed as exaggerating to the record.
On Monday night, the 19lh inst. the Democra
tic party, together with a few Conservative*, who
ware anxious to see t' e tnodue operands, convened
in the Hall of the Houac ol Representatives. On
motion of Dr. Phillips the meeting was organized
by calling Col. Stell to the Chair, and appointing
Secretaries. Two from each Congressional Dis
trict, on motion of Mr. Gardiner, were appoint
ed to draft resolutions to harmonize the Be-united
Democracy. The resolutions (which your report
er will doubtless forward) being reported, previous
to their adoption, Gov. Johnson and Hon. Howell
Co’«b were introduced by a Committee appointed
for the purpose, and Mr. Cobb ascended the ros
trum.
He announced to the meeting that his object
there was to declare that the unity and integrity
of the National Democratic party mutt be main
tained. I did not dream he would show his hand
so quick. He asserted that the National Demo
cratic party was the only party to be relied od,
that upon the questions of Tariff, United States
Bank, and Internal Improvements, where had they
(his Democratic audience) reposed their confi
dence! Who had stood faithful upon the Slavery
question, the acquisition of Texas and the terri
tory added to the Union, and which was now
open to Slavery ! We glanced around to see how
his Excellency would relish these doclsraticns,
bat judging from appearauoee, he had entirely for
gotten that he had “alliance'' with
the North, “an attuned one? and my Southern
Eights friend at my left, who had been willing
to dissolve the Union because the Compromise
had passed, and had thus perpetrated a “fraud
upon the rights" of the South, seemed absolutely
delighted at the idea that negroes could be carried
into tho territories. Either he or Mr. Cobb is
wrong, but a family quarrel like this we cannot
stop to settle; we leave them (Southern Eights
Democracy) and Mr. Cobb to reconcile the conflict
of opinion. The South, he said, and herinstitu
tiona, had ever been sustained by the Democracy
of the North. The history of the Texas contro
versy, and the reception of Abolition petitions,
discovered the fact, that not a Whig vote whs ever
given upon those questions favorable to the South,
until Fillmore became President of the United
States. We should like to know where the ma
jority of the Democratic party North stood, and
upon what principles they supported the annexa
tion of Toxas. Mr. C., with all the inclination to
applaud tho Democratic party, would not assert
that they regarded the annexation of Teias as an
extension of tho area of slavery. That the late
triumphs of the South upon tho slavery question,
was tho rosult of the aid of tho Democratic party
in opposition to tho Whigs, who opposed it upon
the ground that it extended slavery. And pray,
what did tho Democrats say, Mr. Cobb ! That it
did not. So said Southern Eights Democrats. So
did not say Mr. C. Who is right! That Millard
Fillmore first oansed the Whigs to sustain slavery.
Amidst all the labyrinthine windings of Mr. C.,
his vaulting ambition, then in some noble redeem
ing traits of character—tho justice done the noblo,
patriotic, true hearted and conservative Fillmore,
is worthy of the gallant and chivalrous spirit of
the Ex-Governor. A more deserving tribute to
worth was never paid. The National Democratic
party was the only one, said Mr. C., to preserve
our rights. The Whigs were utterly unsound upon
this question. The conservative party had so pro
claimed them, and he (Cobb) would not defend
them. Ilis opinion hod long been that they were
unsound. Hu she conservative party, in refusing
to unite with tho Democratic party, wore a sec
tional party. That the Democratic party must be
wsro of them. Had the conservative party so soon
forgotten the Farewell Addross of tho Father of his
Country! They invite you into their organization.
Aro they sincere! Are the Democrats of N. York
tho only true Democrats 1 Yes, Mr. C., they (the
Dickinson party) aro the only ones worth sustain
ing. They have been tried, and in refusing to
affiliate with Abolitionists, they stand with us and
have a claim on our sympathies. Are not, he
continued, the Democrats of Pennsylvania, New
Hampshire, Indiana and Illinois, good Dcmoerats!
He considered them all good Democrats. If they
were all good Democrats, Mr. C., why did you
seek to build up an organization upon the princi
ples laid down as a basis for the Constitutional
Union party! Either you believed them unsound,
and that anothor national organization upon the
principles tboro proclaimed, was necessary, or you
assert od what you did not bcliovo when organizing
tho party. Either horn of tho dilemma you can
take. Ho doclared that wlion John P. Hale had
proved himself a sound Democrat upon all the
great national principles of the party, the De
mocracy of New Hampshire repudiated him as a
traitor wno had betrayed his party, because he re
fused to vote for tho acquisition of Texas, but tho
Whigs of Now Hampshire had caught him up and
elected him to the Speakership in tho Now Hamp
shire Legislature. And pray, how do Mr. Sum
ner, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Chase, of Ohio,
stand upon this question of slavery! Are they
orthodox or not!
The conservative party, ho said, professed to ad
miro Dickinson now, because he was true. Ho
was true in 1648. Why d’d they not vote for him
then! Why did they not sympathize with him
then! Why had that party not found out his
soundness until now ? This repentance looked, to
him, very much like death-bed repontanco. Just
liko Mr. C.’s repentance, when ho helped to build
up the Constitutional Union party. It did not ex
actly pay according te his expectation, as the red
has shown—a death-bod repentance, when he laid
aside old issues to maintain our constitutional
rights. Are not the very mon bo iB leagued with,
those whom he called upon, the Constitutional
Union party, to join him to help the sound Dem
ocrats North to put down ! And when the sound
Union Democrats, North and South, had put them
down, who helped them up? Say, Mr. Cobb, an
swer *liat ? Who helped them up ? Was it you
and your party—the Administration party, or the
conservative party 1 Von charge the conservative
party with insincerity! Cast the beam out of thine
own eye 1
But, continued he, if the Constitutional party
are honest in their professions, why did they re
fuse to vote for Pierce ? Mr. Toombs declared he
was the soundest man on slavery North of Mason
and Dixon’s line. So well conducted has been his
administration, that the only objection urged
againßt him has been his appointments. Even
those papers at the North most opposed to him,
declare the reports of his Cabinet, the ablest pa
pers that have over omauated from the public
: unctionaries. The Democratic party could appeal
to tho history of tho past. They stood pledged
upon tho record now. If Gen. Pierco’s appoint
ment* wero objectionable, how came the Whigs
to suppert Mr. Fillmore, styling him the second
Washington? The comparison of appointments
under the two will be favorable to Uon. Piorce.
Tho very worst appointment of Gen. Pierce was
hotter, far better, than the appointment of Thomas
Corwin to a seat in his Cabinet. Will Mr. Cobb
point to any act of Mr. Corwin after his appoint
ment, which conflicted in the least with our rights?
When Dix, Vroom aud Maioney, were warring
against tho friends of the Compromise aud the
Fugitive Slave law, where was Corwin! Defend
ing the Fugitive Slave Law, calling upon his
friends te see to its faithful execution, let these
enemies of the South can havo Gon. Pierce to en
dorse the Compromise for them, and as they are
Democrats, all is right. If this is not the death
bed repentance, Mr. C. repudiates with so much
loathing and scorn, what is it ? Death-bed re
pentance ! It is repentance at the last gasp!
Worse, infinitely less to bo confided in thau death
bed repentance. They have all died and made no
sign.
Mr. C. raid that the Conservative party com
menced where he left off. They have invited you
(Union Democrats) to come into their ranks. Join
thorn, they say, to sustain Dickinson, so that they
may break up the National Democratic party. If
they are sincere, why do they not come into the De
mocratic ranks! The Conservative party left the
Whigs because they would not affiliate with Free
soilcrs. Are there no Freesoilersin the Democratic
ranks? Let Mr. Cobb answer that question. As long
as Dix, Sumner, Chase, Van Buren and other* are
received into tho Democratic party as orthodox,
we want none of it.
But, says Mr. C., they say Dickinson i* sound
upon the slavery question. Will they stand by
Dickinson for President, eonnd as they pronounce
him, if he clings to the National Democracy l It
that National Democracy bars Frcesoilers from its
fold, we say the Conservative party, to be true to
their principles, must stand by him. If, however,
such a course brings Dickinson and the Adminis
tration in opposition, where will Mr. Cobb be ?
Come, sir, answer that ? Do you intend to sustain
the Administration against Dickinson I
But, says Mr. CL, they are not sincere. Did not
Mr. Toombs declare be was sound, and did not the
party refuse to vote for him because he was a Na
tional Democrat ? No, Mr. Cobb, they did not.
They said he wav nominated by Freesoilers and
Secessionist*, and that hit administration would
partake of the character of his nomination, for
these men would require rewards for their ser
vices. And are the facts not so! Is this not the
case! Can Mr. Cobb, can any man in all this broad
land deny the truth of this assertion, that his ad
ministration has not taken the character of his
nomination ?
That there were Electoral tickets enough to suit
the most fastidious taste. Yes, very true; but
pray who sauted so many Electoral tickets ? Not
the Conservative* I That, Mr. C., was the unkind
est cut of all. That Gcu. Pierce recognized as
Democrats even Abolitionists, who had repented
and stood upon the Baltimore platform. It e/ear ,
Mr. Gobi, they are death bed repentances. That if
we rejected a man because he has been an Aboli
tionist. Fillmore was objectionable. But Fill
more repented and we forgave,—cannot a Demo
crat repent! Yes, Mr.C., when, like. Fillmore, he
will show his faith by his works. That the Sooth
must affiliate with the sound Democracy of the
North. (Where are they!) Our only hope was
that they would abandon their former abolition
sentiments. The National Democracy have always
fought our battles, and are now fighting our bat
tles. The contest has always been at the North on
the slavery question. That our friends at the
North in the Democratic party must be sustained.
That Gen. Pieros had headed the phalanx of New
Hampshire Democracy against the Slavery excite
ment, and he must be sustained; that our only
hope was in the Democratic majority in Congress,
and a Democratic President; and the organization
of the National Democracy and its sound men at
the North must be maintained, as the only hope of
maintaining and defending the Constitutional
right* of the South within the Union.
These sentiments in the does we endorse hear
tily, but will Mr Cobb or any other Southern man,
be he Whig, Democratic, Southern Kighteor Union
or Conservative, tell how the sound men of the
r North are to be sustained, by defending an Ad
l ministration that is warring upon and attempting
to crush these very men who are sound J Answer
. it, I pray ye! I pause for a reply.

From Texas.
The Houston Telegraph, of the lflth lint., says
that letters have been received from Gen. Orville
Clarke, conveying the pleasing intelligence that he
had made arrangements with several heavy capi
talists to procure the necessary fund to prosecute
the work ou the Galveston and Bed Biver Rail
road.
The San Antonio Western Texan says that the
prospects for heavy crop* of cotton and sugar on
the Colorado are very flattering, imparting fine
spirits to the farmers of I ha: region.
The Austin State Times, of the 10th inst., has
the following Indian news:
The lapaDs and Toncahuas are organizing an
expedition against the Cam inches. The Caman
cbes recently made a foray upon the former and
carried off near two huudred horses. The Lapses
and Toncahuas are determined to avenge the in
jury by retalia iou. They and the Camanchee
have been enemies for years. The Lipans once
claimed the greater portion of the territory now
oocupied as a hunting ground by the Camauches.
The Toncuhuas have receded from the vicinity of
the coast. They are greatly embittered against the
Camanchee. Some trouble may originate from
the late depredation. Major Neighbors will take
timely aud judicious steps to arrest the move
ments; Major Howard being ou leave, he baa
taken temporary charge of these tribes.
The same paper has the following notice of In
dian depredations in Mexico:
A gentleman who has been traveling some time
in Mexico, represents the condition ol the Mexican
States of Zacatecas and Durango as deplorable
indeed. Many districts are entirely depopulated
aud in poisession of the Indians. They have fast
nesses in the mountains, to which they retreat,
when pursued by the Mexican troops. ' By dex
terous management they get the troops entangled
in the pass of a moan tain and cut them to pieces—
a no very hard matter to accomplish. A native of
the “magnanimous nation’’ will as naturally take
to his trotters upon the first glimpse of an Indian,
or the first sound of the war whoop, as he would
perform any other act. Fear of Indian is instinct
ive. A Mexican can't help it—it is a part of hia
education, instilled from early infancy. Unless
the Government of Mexico employs foreign soldiery
to operate against the savages, there is no telling
where the matter will atop. Mexicans themselves
have joined -the Indians. Bobbers, renegades and
scoundrels find a safe refuge among them. With
these for guides and counsellors the Camanchee
and Apaches have every advantage over the un
warlike rancheroe.
The Governor of one of the Mexican States of
fered a reward of SB,OOO fora villain who had led
a band of Indians into the heart of the country.
A Mexican followed him te San Carlos, on the Bio
Grande, made him drunß, carried hiim back and
received the reward. The wretch was executed.
PHifctDLXFHu, Dec. 28.—An awful conflagration
occurred hero last night, proving destructive to
life as well as property. It broko out in the large
double four storied brick store house, Nortli
Third street,between WoodandCallowhill streets,
N. L., occupied by James 8. Keen, dealer in
leather, hides, go&tsbins, sumac, oils, Ac. The
devouring element spread with the greatest rapid
ity, and involved in destruction almost tho entire
building, with its valuable contents. The look
ing-glass, brush, comb and variety storo ol Jaoob
Fitz, No. 196, adjoining on the south, quickly
caught fire, and was, with everything in it, total
ly consumed. In the building two or three fright
ful scenes were witnessed.
At the height ofthe conflagration, and while the
firemen were nobly battling with the raging
flames, a partition wall gave way, and an immense
mass of burning timbers came down with an aw
ful crash, burying some half a dozen of those
brave men beneath the ruins. All were saved
without serious injury, except one or two. An
heroic young man was found to bo completely
fastened among the girders, joints and boards,
which were on fire all around him. A number of
the firemen and Marshal’s Police exerted tliom
selvee to their utmost to get him out. Foremost
among the officers was Jacob Albright, of the
Northern Liberties division. In the midst of his
humane labors, Mr. Albright was himself caught
by another fall ofthe blazing timbers, which now
suddenly overwhelmed and hid Irom view tho un
fortunae object ho was to bravely endeavoring to

limbs were found to te badly burned. He was
kept up by stimulants while in this (rightly situa
tion, and preserved an undaunted demeanor
throughout. It is not known with cortainty what
lives are lost, but it is feared that the removal of
the ruins will bring to light the remains of at least
two victims. The man for whose rescue Mr. Al
bright was striving when he was himaolf buried,
is certainly lost. Officer Hiram Hammer, ou es
timable man, and one of the most valuable officers

board side, cutting her down to the water’s edge.
She immodiaioly sunk.
The Sylph received bat little injury. She took
off all tho passengers and crew from tho Eaglo,
and landod them at pior No. 1, North river. She

The bow of the Montauk struck the Transit mid

the seats of tho forward ladies’ oabin for several
feet, making a startling crash.
The seats wore filled with women and children
at tho time, and the wonder was that many of
them wero not crippled. Their escape was the
more remarkablo from the fact that a piece of the
guard rail of tho Montauk was ripped off by the
collision and driven through into tne saloon of the
Transit several feet.
There was a great rush aft on both boat*, wbon
thoy struck. There was some danger for the
moment of crushing* or jumpings overboard, so
great waa the consternation , but cheers from tho
the passengers of the Montauk, and laughter at the
daylight they had so unceremoniously let into tho
Transit, afforded timely asßurance that there was
no danger of either boat going down. —New York

(Maas.) festival on the2lst ult., mado the follow
ing observations :
Have wo not all admired that masterly combina
tion of grace and nobleness in tho horse’s head,
which might decorate the selectest studio of the
artist? And look at the generosity of his disposi
tion, at the magnanimity of his temper —tho quali
ties of bis heart overruling the brain 1 I remem
ber, in a somewhat celebrated address of a distin
guished nobleman to King Charles the Second, it
is mentioned that “a man is never so much a man
as when he iaon horseback.” (Applause.) There is
some very intimate connection between the exhibi
tion of the higher types of character and the prac
tice of that exhilirating exercise. It seems to me
that much of tho generous hospitality which cha
racterizes the Southern community maybe attribu
table as well to other natural causes, partly to the
influence of theoommon indulgence in that noble
practice. Sir, 1 am inclined to think riding as
sovereing a cure for meanness as for dyspepsia.
Abtles* SmPLicirv.—A certain little boy of this
city, who recently lost his father, found himself
debarred thereby from attending school as for
merly, and, in the fullness of his faith, be deter
mined to seek the wherewithal at that footstool to
which he had doubtless been taught to look for
other and higher blessings.
In the simplicity of his heart he sat down and
gravely wrote a letter to his Bedeemer, thinking
perhaps that so formal a mode of preferring his
requosts would moot with greater attention.
W bat wa» the surprise of our worthy postmaster,
Wm. N. Friend, Esq., on discovering among the
contents of liia letter box ono morning lately a
missive directed to “ Jesus Christ 1” Opening it
ho read the story of tie boy’s wants, and, with a
noble kindness which we are not selfish enough
to deprive our readers of the pleasure or profit of
hearing, he deposited in the envelope the amount
required and directed it to the young supplicant.
We have never heard* story that in so short a

presiding. In a case on trial before that court,
; the question arose whether money remitted by

specifying or dirficting how it was to bo sent, end
tne defendant having complied with the request
by remitting through the mail, as waa the custom
with others to do, the debtor would not be held
